So much for your time and presentation, sir. It was, I think it was really helpful for people and especially for the children. So we will move to Dr. Sam Vicknen. Dr. Sam Vicknen is the author of Malignan Self-Love and he is a visiting professor of psychology in Southern Federal University, Russia. And he's a professor of finance and psychology in Center for International Advanced and Professional Studies. And he is an editorial board member of many journals. And he is really a good YouTuber. I found his videos are very useful. This is personally I'm saying. I saw your videos, your lectures. It's really useful for the people and for the people who are suffering from addiction disorders and other mental disorders. So we will not waste time and we will listen to Dr. Sam Vicknen lecture. Here you can start, sir. I think I muted. I muted. Okay. So my name is Sam, Sam Vicknen. And there is extremely little I can add to practitioners with your range of experience and exposure. Nor do I wish to actually. I would like instead to be a bit of an in front terribler and iconoclastic and to suggest a different point of view, perhaps. First of all, let's start with the basic fact that we have been doing psychotherapy for 150 years and we have been failing for 150 years. Psychotherapy is an abysmal failure, the discipline. It's easy to prove the prevalence and the incidence of mental health disorders in the population at large has been growing exponentially over the past few decades. And so a discipline that is intended to heal and fails to heal, which is its main goal supposedly, this discipline is a failure. If we were to have a cancer therapy aimed at a group of cancers and the result would have been an explosion in the prevalence and incidence of these cancers, we would never say that this discipline, sub-discipline is a success. We must be humble and we are not as practitioners as therapists, as psychologists, as psychiatrists, as miserable professors of psychology, such as myself. What we lack in dollops is humility. We are not humble. We refuse to accept that we had failed. We had failed our patients and clients.  And we have failed for two reasons. First of all, we keep pretending that psychology is an exact science when it is neither exact nor a science. And the second reason is that we have established guilds, professional guilds and monopolies and cartels of practitioners. And we exclude forcibly by force of law on pain of punishment, on pain of imprisonment. We exclude huge groups of people who can be as helpful as we are and very often more helpful than we are. Now this pandemic, psychology, I don't know who will survive this pandemic, but psychology will not. Psychology, the way it had been practiced until today will not survive this pandemic. Simply because two billion people, rough estimate, are gonna have mental health problems. These are two billion new patients, not the existing ones. They are on top of the existing ones. It is estimated that anywhere between 40 and 50% of the global population will suffer mental health disorders that require intervention. We are not equipped numerically. We are not equipped in any other way, logistically, strategically, as a professional to cope with this tsunami. We are not. We will have to open up our ranks. We will have to introduce other groups of responders, practitioners and helpers. We will have to incorporate family members, neighbors, good friends. The neighborhood, the neighborhood clown, I don't know. We are going to have to include the government. We are going to have to cooperate rather than mobilize as we had been doing until now. And this is part of a bigger picture. We need, this pandemic teaches us that we need to rethink and probably discard the organizing principle of society, at least Western society. And the organizing principles were narcissism, grandiose narcissism and malignant individualism. These were the organizing principles that had prevailed over the last 200 years and look at the mess we are in, directly attributable to these two principles. Grandiosity, malignant individualism, the rule of the jungle. And so we will need to rethink these things and probably discard them. There is of course place for individual therapy. There is place for resilience, principles of resilience. There is place for mindfulness and many, many other wonderful things. But I think we need a society-wide solution. I don't think individual therapy will be of great use honestly. No offense to anyone on this screen. I don't believe you can do a lot of good simply because you are individuals, you are one. So you can have 10 people, 20 people, 50 people. We need each one of you to help a million people. It cannot be done unless we change society itself. The way it's structured, the organizing principle, the hermeneutic and exegetic and explanatory principle. The principle that imbues society and social interactions with meaning. We need to change the meaning, not the techniques, not the strategies, not the way to cope. The problem is a problem of lack of meaning. The virus reifies this lack of meaning. Of course, because it slaps us in the face and tells us you are meaningless. You are meaningless. It kills us randomly and meaninglessly. In this sense, it's only a reification. So I think there are two solutions that we would need to implement on top of the foundation of therapy. We need to find agendas, new agendas, new projects, global projects, global agendas to give meaning to life. People need to belong to these movements. And of course, at the beginning, as long as physical distancing takes place, these movements have to be virtual or digital. But it's been done before. Arab Spring was organized through Twitter. We have social media, we are geared, we have infrastructure. Look what's happening with environmentalism, where teenagers took over the movement. So we need new projects, new agendas, new secular religions, new ideologies in the good sense of the word. We need to mobilize people. We need to make them belong. We need to give them meaning again. No amount of mindfulness will do this. And their resilience critically depends on their collaboration with other people. And the second thing we would need to do, we would need to go back to the African village. It takes a village to raise a child. We all know this. And yet we had forgotten this. We had abandoned the village. We had abandoned our village. We are atomized, we are alienated, we are isolated long before the virus had struck. This virus is nothing if not the accentuation, the ratification of trends that started decades ago. This virus just put a mirror to our face. It has done nothing. It has killed 300,000 people. And that is horrible. But in itself, it's not the kind of medical threat, for example, that other diseases are. It's not the medical issue. It's the psychological issue. This virus has shown us who we are. And now there's a concept in my field I teach personality disorders. It's called narcissistic modification. Narcissistic modification is a big narcissistic injury. Narcissistic injury or narcissistic wound is when your grandiosity is challenged. Narcissistic modification is when your self-perception is challenged, when your self-identity is challenged, the way you perceive yourself. And then you have modification. We have been modified by this virus. Our very core identity, values, organizations, institutions, everything has been challenged by this virus. And I regret to say, we didn't come out with flying colors. The crisis hasn't started yet. And we have all disintegrated and fell to pieces. As individuals, as institutions, as nation states, you name it. We did not excel, yet it is, of course, not too late. I would like to end by mentioning what this virus had done to us. This virus, as I said, was a mass or collective narcissistic injury or modification. As a species, the virus showed us that nature matters, that we are an integral part of nature. There was a philosopher by the name of Descartes, and he created the Cartesian view of the world. He broke the world apart, observed and observed we and nature. That is, of course, a fallacious dichotomy, we and nature. We are small, we're interdependent, and I'm sorry, there's a problem with the... Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Yes, I can hear you now. Can you hear me? Yes. Okay. Now, had I been conspiracy minded, I would have thought someone silenced me on purpose. But I'm not. I'm not kidding. I'm not. I would not have been by the way, two more minutes. Yes, yes, yes. You can take your time. Yeah, you can take your time. So as a species, we were reminded to be a part of nature. We were humbled. We were humbled by the virus. What is a virus? It's not even an organism. It's a package, it's a protein envelope, lipids enveloping an RNA's figment. It's a nothing thing. Nature sent us an agent to humiliate and humble us. And so we have learned how interdependent we are, how small, how insignificant. And we, perhaps, this will teach us to modify and moderate our defiance, our contumatiousness towards nature. And then the virus challenged our omnipotence, our sense of omnipotence. So we discovered that there are limits to our growth, to our growth economically. There are limits to our medicine. We had this notion of medicine as all powerful. We are not omniscience. There was a failure of our grandiosity on this level too. We are vulnerable. We are all fallible.  We are fragile. Our social institutions are not bulwark. They're not a firewall against anything. So we are very anxious. We are very anxious. One of the main reasons I think we are very anxious is not because we have lost jobs only. Some of these jobs, many of these jobs, we come back, everyone knows that. It's not because we have been socially isolated for two months. 11% of the population of the United States are single and they are isolated for years. I don't think that's the core reason for the anxiety. I think the core reason for the anxiety is the challenge to our grandiosity, which had grown beyond measure in an increasingly narcissistic society, narcissistic civilization. I refer you to the studies of Twentyn Campbell. College graduates are five times more grandiose and narcissistic than 10 years ago. We have grown, we have developed, to use a Greek word if I remember correctly, hubris. We have developed hubris and the flowers, ironically, it'd be the best thing that has happened to us. It's a reset button, the price is high, but the price in human affairs is always high. It is not true that the ideogram for crisis is the same ideogram for opportunity in Chinese. That's a myth, it's not true, but it's a pity because it should have been. Every crisis is an opportunity. The bigger the crisis, the bigger the opportunity, the more total the crisis, the more total the opportunity. We have a total opportunity to reboot. If we miss this, if we miss this opportunity, we should grieve, we should grieve much more than we should grieve for the victims of a pandemic.  That's it, thank you. Thank you so much for Dr. Sam. So now we will move to panel discussion and before that, I would like to thank you to all our speakers. Your presentation was really uninformative and I really hope people will learn something and enjoy it. I really appreciate your presentations and your time. So we will move to panel discussion and we have people here, if anyone is having any questions. Yes, Dr. Illya, I would unmute you. Here you are. I just wanna say, Dr. Sam, thank you for your passion. Thank you for challenging all of us to have a paradigm shift, basically, about the way that we view the world and our contributions to this virus and how we respond to it. I've never heard what you said before, but it stretched my mind and that's always a good thing. When we get older and gray hair, it doesn't happen very often. So your challenge, I take it to heart and I appreciate it and we will have to have totally out-of-the-box solutions.  I'm gonna think long and hard about it the rest of the day and the days to come. Anyway, I hope that you and I can collaborate with neighbors, North Macedonia and Greece, we're close. Once it's over, we can even meet, believe it or not. Not shake hands, not shake hands, but meet. Hug, hug, though. Hug, hug, hug, okay. Six feet apart. Shivani, is this being taped, the whole webinar? Are you taping it? Yes. Yes, great. That's very good. So if you need, we can send you, if you want to listen again. Yes, I'd be delighted. I would like to upload it to my YouTube channel if there's no objection, the other participants. Yes, I will send you. I have 30 million views, so you will all benefit, so. Yes, I know. Even I'm following your YouTube channel. Yeah, well, my condolences. My apologies. For people that are interested, if they can all go to the chat room and if they wanna connect with us, they can connect through our LinkedIn profiles. So anybody that's listening, if you click on the chat at the very bottom, you'll open up the screen on the right side of your screen. And then you can, so I would hope that Dr. Kair and Dr. Sam, Dr. Prasan just put your LinkedIn if you want to. I did that, but if you want people to connect with us that way, that's an easy way for them to. And just let us know that you're part of this conference so we know kind of where you're coming from. That would help. I see that there's seven messages in the chat, eight, correct, Shivani? Yes, yes. Actually, we have Dr. Sian, sorry. He would like to say something. Oh, I was just saying that one concept that you brought up, Dr. Sam, was the idea that this is lessons to be learned from this. And if we miss out on the lesson, that is going to be the worst part of this. Much more than just the pandemic sicknesses that we are experiencing life in a new way. It is our new normal. And as we learn how to navigate ourselves through it, we share that information with other people. And eventually your big picture may happen. Eventually the concept of lesser levels of narcissism and more value towards working and collaborating may occur just from the understanding of looking around what life brought us from this experience. So I agree that it would be a good idea. I hope so, Shivani. Yes. I don't agree that therapy has been without benefit. I think that when we look at the research, we can see a unfortunately a negative effect size on certain types of counseling. But it's usually when it's isative counseling, like a kid who goes into counseling and he's actually dealing with stuff at home and the parents aren't in the counseling. Or you have a spouse that goes to counseling where they're not working together on something which leads also to a narcissistic kind of way of approaching the counseling situation and leads to that unfortunate concept that I brought up earlier of the identified patient. But this kid, the person is the problem versus maybe we're looking at a global situation within the household, within the school setting, within some type of boop environment. So... Yeah. My comment, just to clarify, my comment was epidemiological. So it was an epidemiological comment. When you have a discipline in medicine, any discipline, and ostensibly psychotherapists, somehow remote cousin of medicine. But when you have a discipline in medicine where the prevalence and incidence is increasing exponentially, the discipline is doing something wrong. It's exactly the situation we're having with COVID-19 right now. It's been serious months already and we've been doing some things probably not right. We'll derive lessons later. So when you have in the medical field cancer and you have a cancer of the thyroid, you take a radiation and you take certain chemicals to fix that thyroidic cancer. Now, with psychological issues, why you got depressed and why I got depressed and why Karen got depressed and why LA got depressed are all four different reasons. Exactly what I said, it's not a science. It can never be a science, right? Very with you. There's no clinical entity like in medicine. The concept of clinical entity in psychology is dubious. I don't want to go into this because it's out, I think. I'd love to do it face to face. I think it's important because people are seeking out counseling and one of the things that you bring up is like, okay, seek it out, but what are you gonna do? What are you gonna do for yourself in the bigger society out there? Because I can't fix anybody. I can guide them. I can show them ways that they might look at something differently. I can help them with problem solving, but ultimately as a therapist, as a counselor, I'm not there to change them. I'm there to learn how to change themselves. When they are changing themselves, then you see the bigger picture. But right now, you do have a whole generation that's grown up with this understanding of somebody's gonna support me. Somebody's gonna give me something to help me through this. Somebody's gonna modify it for me. Somebody's gonna accommodate it for me. Learned health business. Yes. I think Dr. Karen had her hand up. We need to hear from her as well. Dr. Karen, go ahead. Yes. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Thank you, Dr. Sam, for your presentation. You mentioned earlier that- Happy Birthday. Thank you. Thank you so much. It feels good to be here. It feels very good to be here. But you mentioned earlier that a lot of people are seeking individual therapy. Yet you mentioned that in the midst of this time, it's not enough, the statement was made that each one of us must reach a million people. And I'm of that same mindset. Can you speak to how do we do that? How do we reach a million people? As a practitioner, we are doing the virtual therapy thing and we're doing as much as we can to help as many people as we can. You have 30 million followers. So, that's a platform that's very effective. But overall, how would you say that in addition to providing therapeutic services to people, how do we reach that million people, each one of us? So I think that I will defer to my colleagues here who are actually just in therapy. So though I do provide counseling, that's not my main thing. My main thing is teaching. Right. But before I get off the stage, so to speak, there was exactly my message that rather than think how to amplify individual therapy via digital means, rather than think that way, I suggested a totally different agenda. An agenda of belonging, of community, of the African village, of global projects, of global ideologies, of new secular religions, of global movements, but I think we can't reach these million people. But if we give their life a meaning, we have reached them, however indirectly. If they give, we give them a direction. If we give them a purpose, and that's, that's logotherapy in a way. Let's call it mass logotherapy, Victor Franco. If we do this, and if we re-establish community as the organizing therapeutic principle, because right now, Dr. Shon aside, because Dr. Shon is a good therapist, a therapist who knows his limitations, a therapist who is an integral part of an organic fabric, a fabric which includes friends, family, community, a job, workplace, so he knows his place. But I regret to say that the majority of therapists are grandiose and they do not know their place. They are godlike. They act as though they are godlike. And they foster an agenda, learn helplessness in the patient. So patients end up going from one therapist to the next, as they would have gone in earlier days to spellcasters or fortune tellers or you know, so I think therapy has to be paradigm shifted from the individual therapist as an omniscient omnipotent figure, which is Freud, extension by extension, to community, communal therapy, where therapy is just one pretty minimal tool. Pretty minimal tool. I was gonna say, go ahead. I was gonna take Dr. Sam and Dr. Karen too. I was in private practice for 18 years before I exited and changed the course of my career and I don't practice anymore. But even at the time, I had a full practice and it was never market, it was all the word of mouth. It was built organically. When people would come in, I would say the goal of therapy is for you not to be in my office, to God and live a happy life.  Now, under these circumstances, I think the million people that Dr. Sam talked about can happen in a variety of ways. Certainly through social media, through the followers that you have and your sphere of influence. Some people's sphere of influence is 300 people and others is 300,000 people. YouTube, through LinkedIn, obviously, LinkedIn has become now the go-to place in order to do business honestly because of the way that we are. Any social media platforms where you get the message out, whether it's Instagram or Twitter or Facebook Live or whatever videos you do to continue to spread the message of love, hope and optimism in the midst of this adversity and to get off our high horse like Dr. Sam said, we're just people.  Just because we have a doctor in front of our name, we're not God, it's just a degree that we got but to have compassion, love and kindness and to treat one another that way because we're all interconnected with nature and with one another regardless of what country we live in, regardless of our socioeconomic status, regardless of our religious affiliation, regardless of our ethnicity and nationality, we are all connected in this pandemic and it has really proven that it came here to humble us and to teach us some very, very important lessons. So I think that we have an opportunity and I hope we take it to shift, to have a major societal shift in the way that we treat one another, the way we treat this world that we live in and if we don't take advantage of this opportunity, all the people that have died and are suffering and the two billion people that Dr. Sam talked about will have happened in vain. So I hope people will wake up and it's our responsibility I believe to share that message just like we did here. Maybe here we had 210 people listening today but then we share it and that becomes 2000 and 20,000 and there's a movement towards compassion, love, kindness and understanding of one another. So I thank you for your message, Dr. Sam. Thank you. I just want to add to centers. First of all, I guarantee tens of thousands of viewers, just give me the video, I give you money back guarantee. So I upload the video, we will have massive viewership. I have no doubt about this. Second thing, social media is social. I mean, I fully agree with you. Social media is the transition from individual one-on-one therapy which is needed and necessary and should not be discarded of course to a more communal form of therapeutic interventions. The therapeutic interventions, it doesn't have to be a structured therapy. If I tell you I love you, that's a therapeutic intervention.  That's a therapeutic intervention of course and everyone will tell you this. So social media is exactly this example. We need to mobilize and leverage social media to do mass therapy. Why? Because this is a mass crisis. Not an individual crisis. It's a mass collective. It's a crisis of the collective, not only of individuals in the collective. The whole collective is threatened and we need to administer collective therapy and therapy to the collective. Once the collective heals, usually the cells in this organism also heal. So this is the power of religion. I'm agnostic, don't misunderstand. But this is the power of religion. This religion provides you with a healing message ratified in an organization. So once you belong to the organization, you subsume by osmosis the healing message. Religion is a form of mass therapy to catalog social. Mass therapy with the chief therapist, Jesus Christ. It's a form of mass, in the case of pre-fiality. It's a form of mass therapy. That's all I'm saying. We need to think big to catalog social. We need to think big in order to be humble.  I think one of the things that you're discussing is what we might call a milieu, which is the idea of everybody's kind of on the same page, thinking in the same way, using the same kind of language, same words, same thoughts, they're hearing the same kinds of things. The miliues are what we attempt to set up in home situations and schools so that they can take care of each other because the therapist and the school psychologist can come in once a week, even once a day. They still not be in that person's existence all the time, so teaching them how to interact with each other and watching how they interact with each other and learning from them, not necessarily teaching them anything, but knowing, okay, this is how this group of people interacts together. Maybe if they have the ability to collaborate more, they might be able to find more peace within themselves and we're gonna show them how to do some problem solving. So it's not necessarily about what happened to you and I grew this beard so I could do this while I'm doing counseling. It's not only a therapeutic intervention, but it's also like, what can you do on your own all the time? And that's really what the mindfulness, everybody talks mindfulness now. I don't think everybody really gets the concept of mindfulness, but they know that it has something to do with thinking about stuff the way it is right now and trying to be in the present moment. And it's the hardest thing in the world. It's an easy concept and extremely difficult. So one thing that we can do as mental health providers is just supply that milieu environment. Supply that. This is how you guys can work together. And I learned that from working at a residential treatment center for a number of years where everybody kind of had to be on the same page in order to help that kid. If I may just interject or react to Dr. Schoen. I'm sorry for your... I've got another meeting in like two minutes and now our time is up. So I'm gonna have to, you know, in a couple of minutes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you have to go. Thank you very much. I just wanted to say it sounded a bit like you're talking about conformity and that was not my intention, of course. On the contrary, I think we should... No, I mean, I know I misrepresent what you said, but some people might have understood it this way. And actually when we say milieu, when we say this, it also includes protocols for managing dissonance and conflict. So conflict management protocols, dissonance reduction protocols, anxiety reduction protocol, dysfunctional... Sorry, functional, of course. Functional anxiety reduction protocols. All these are the tools that we should give the people and we should give them unmask. We should give them, we should like... In other words, what I'm saying is maybe we should transition from therapy to teaching and education. Well, you just said this is where our children do begin to learn this. When they feel safe and secure in their classroom, they can project this and generalize it out to the world, but when they don't have those environments available to them like we are right now, yes, and we say, okay, we're on hold right now. We don't attempt to fix the world, but we keep giving the energy and in my case, it's to our children. I saw it, I cut myself off because I know that we're out of time. Yeah, we're out of time, yeah. Very nice. Thank you so much for your contributions and everyone listening in. I hope it was informative and uplifting. Thank you so much. I just wanted to add a comment as a viewer. I've found this all very helpful for all of the speakers that were part of it because I love the idea of mass therapy as we provide counseling through our counseling agency. And I just, I think we do need to think outside the box and that fits with that psychological flexibility of coping differently and bringing different approaches to the individual therapy, to the individual struggling and the crisis that I think we're gonna see after this pandemic. So I personally just very much appreciate all that you guys brought. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you so much to each and every speaker. A really great meeting to everyone here and I appreciate everyone's time and effort and a huge thanks for every speaker for this informative talks and the experience you have shared with us. I hope this knowledge will help others in this pandemic situations and they can cope with this crisis. Our team, the Docs Media Limited would like to say thanks to each and individual who joined us today. We really hope we made this webinar productive here. Thank you. Thank you, Shivani. Appreciate it. Thank you so much. Thank you, Dr. Liana and everyone. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Bye-bye. Stay connected. Take care of your health. Thank you. Have a great day. You too. Bye-bye. Ciao. Bye-bye.


So let's see. When I study, I'm going to say, if I see, and then I'm going to say something like A. And then the usual form of this guy, this guy, for example, in the past, I can't remember. But I'm going to say S squared, Lape S squared, S squared. Then what is that the volumetric change that I have to do? The volumetric change is going to be X equals 2. I need to get rid of this guy because I'm going to factor out here, right? So I'm going to say, if I'm going to be given by P over A in a formula that gives me after I factor out this guy here, I'm going to get all this last. Okay, so what happens then? Let me put it in here. So, no reading. So, if I have the extra Lape S squared, then I have to put more extra here. But I want you to tell me what I need here. So, if I plug in this position, P over A, instead of my S, Lape S squared, Lape S squared, times P over A, and then I'm going to put something here, S squared, correct? All this is inside this formula. So, when I put these things, then I'm going to have P squared, Lape S squared, P squared, over A squared, and something here, S squared. Now, these days, I'm going to be able to cancel out. Yes? I'm going to be able to factor out here. I'm going to have P squared 1 plus, I don't know, something here, S squared. And then these people are going to have P squared over 1 plus something here, S squared. And I want an identity here. But let me get rid of these miserable S squared. Right? So, what is that? I know that 1 plus 100 squared is equal to? Equal to? Second squared. Second squared. So, when I see the S squared, Lape S squared, times S squared, my change of coordinate should be P over A, second squared. Because then, I want an identity, right? Because when I put it over there, if I put my channel over here, until it's going to cost 2, every place, all these ones last, is in the square root of that, it's just going to be, this time, this one of theta.  Okay? Now, this is all the only possibility. This is 1 because she needs to be. But instead of a plus here, I have a minus. B squared minus A squared S. What is my change of coordinate? So, I do understand from this computation. I have to have P over A. X has to be equal to? I'm not thinking that they will be equal, right? Because it makes no sense. They will be equal than what I have here. S squared will be, and I see. So, what should be the thing that I have to put here instead of standard? Because standard is not going to work. What will work? Stay in that. Because now, this change of minus here. Now, he told me I have to use sine of theta. It comes a minus. I have a sine of theta right here. Theta right here. And what do I know? Now, what minus sine of theta is equal to? Sine of theta. Sine of theta. So, I'm going to have P over sine of theta. And, it's going to be cosine of theta. Which is something that I think will work. Right? Yes? So, this is very easy to use. This is very easy to use. So, I see that here is that I know what I'm using here is that I know that one class change in square is theta. That is cosine. And I'm going to use here, what do I need to do here? Now, what do I need? These things in here. Now, what I have is the other way around. So, I know that we're going to make identity like this. But that gives me something. So, what I have now is this. And I need to put something there to see a problem. And then, my bigger question is going to be, what is that to make? It's very clear because you have a beautiful minus to 3. You're very simple as to 1. What do you think is 5? So, I'm going to get 3 times 3 times 3 is 9, divided by 9 is 1. So, this is cosine of theta. That's looking at this. On the other side, which has 1 minus sine square of theta. And then, I'm going to divide sine square of theta.  Right? So, you know the way around. According to my law, we are not going to be told we have an identity like this for this cos theta is 4. And this is 15 times theta. So, this is just theta. 15 times theta is 4. That's the answer. Ah, okay, okay. And no, don't. Because I think I have to solve for this, right? My problem is that here, so let's be honest, it's much easier if I change it to that. This here. And look at me. And here. We're going to have these two problems in my chair. I kind of want to be 5 times 3 is 1. So, as you can see from here, I'm just going to put integral of square root of theta squared. And my DSP, what am I doing? Of theta plus 1. And over here, I have theta squared theta. This is my work, and then I compare it and put it. Is this right? Yes. Is this right? Yes. Okay. And then the square plus 1. So how does this begin? It looks like tiny cube, tiny square denominators. What is the derivative of this function? For this thing, how do we need to have a square here? And I don't have to just integrate this tangent as I want. What can I do there? I have to use my formula, tangent square equals to theta root root is there. So it says, you root for the tangent equals to theta squared of theta minus 1. It can be a times theta, in many different cases. Because now what we're going to do over here, and that's a trivial integral. Integrate that, and then we have to go back. Is that I want to integrate, and this is what I need to do.  But I'm not done, baby. I'm not done because you is theta not theta. These guys are not theta. So over here is everything. This is equals to theta, cube, theta, theta not theta. From this one, what is the outflow? Outflow, of course. We know that tangent is 1,100, so this is clear for problems. But this is before you get it to be too short, and you've got an idea of what is what you have to do when you have this kind of, and I wrote them in the general, this is the easiest way. And it has something, a polynomial whose degree has to be smaller than this. So what you have to do is that you have to know what you need to do. That you need to know what you need to do. Right? So what do we do? We want to undo this kind of undo it. So what we do is we try let's together you'll be about this integral, and let's go to the inside. So this is 2x plus 5 over I get in 2 integrals. So I want to say this is equal to 8 over, 8, I don't know what it is, but I'm going to give it out. 8 over x minus 3, 3 over the other factor that is exactly. It has to be irreducible, meaning you cannot reduce this polynomial so this has to be irreducible solenoid. You cannot be factorial anymore. It has to be irreducible. Now what I want to do here is I want to take home a denominator. I'm going to take home a denominator. As you know, that's what I'm saying. I'm going to do it in this way. So, home a denominator is a product of this group. So this is going to be 3 minus 5. So this is class 7. And then I check this home denominator and that first factor. And I said, what is missing? Oh, this guy is missing. So this would be 8 times x plus 7 plus, if I compare this with this, what is missing? x minus 3, so this would be plus 3 times x minus 3. Then I'm going to point the top and see what I get. If it's an unoblique, then whatever has said so I can only compare as I told you in elementary school of kindergarten, apples with apples. If it's 2 or equal then that means that 2 has to be equal to 8 plus 3. So this implies that 8 plus 3 has to be equal to 2. These values are here 7, 8 minus 3d has to be equal to what? In your system that you were using I mean, you were using 5 times 3, counter this factor and solve for 8. What do you want me to do to be good on tl, solve for b, solving it here, what do you want? From this one, I'm going to say that this equation over here implies that b is equal to minus 10. Don't be like this. The mean is equal to 5. Okay, so that is just algebra. So what do I get? So b is 10 over 10. So what is this? 20 minus 11, so 11 times b which is what?


Good day everybody. I am so excited. Tomorrow we have the virtual property show. It's starting tomorrow on the 2nd of October and also on Saturday the 3rd of October. It's online Visitors, it's free for you guys. So please register and join us for a fantastic first virtual property show brought to us by Private Property. I am Silmar Stain. I'm the Managing Director of SSLR Incorporated and I will be doing two talks. I will be talking on do's and don'ts of lease agreements tomorrow, Friday the 2nd of October and then I will be sharing a stage and a Q&A session with Bruno Smao from Bruno Smao Attorneys on Saturday about evictions and I think evictions at this stage is such a hot topic. So please, please don't miss it. I look forward to seeing you all virtually this weekend.


This session is going to review the key privacy and security considerations around the personal and sensitive data that are stored in DHS2 with a particular emphasis on individual level data. We'll try to identify the activities recommended for developing and ensuring good practice regarding privacy and security during the implementation of a DHS2 program. So we'll be doing an overview of the key concerns regarding privacy, an overview of relevant legislation and norms, and some practical recommendations for ensuring good practice, starting with the key concerns. By their very nature, health information systems contain sensitive data related to the identity of the individual related to their health status related perhaps to their location. It also contains data relevant for the management of the health system that can often be politically sensitive. So there are a number of key concerns about how to manage and take care of this data. We have the countries that we seek to support with DHS2 do not have well established policies or norms that protect this sensitive data. In particular, individual level data or personally identifiable information is both sensitive and underrepresented at the policy and practice levels in many of the countries where we work. In practical terms, individual data can be used inappropriately by accident or intent and bring about harm. Regarding personal data and DHS to configuration tools can be used to reduce the risk of misuse or inappropriate access to sensitive data. It's important to remember that data privacy doesn't happen by accident must be planned for budgeted processes established and should be a key part of any implementation. I just mentioned some of the data types with India just to and the privacy concerns related to them within the health management information system and at the aggregate level. The performance of the public health sector can be politically and culturally sensitive, for example, HIV case metrics, and it can impact people's jobs and raise concerns globally if this information is shared inappropriately or accessed by individuals that were not meant to have access. The presentation of aggregate data should be dependent on internal processes and not shared outside of those processes without approval. When it comes to individual level data, the concerns are even greater individual level data is represented in DHS to in two ways and often includes personally identifiable information and falls into a higher category for protection. Data often contains specific data relating to campaigns, individual health events or treatment, etc. Tracker data, which is associated with an individual or attract entity is intended as longitudinal record and it's often following patients or clients over time either within individual programs or in a more sophisticated registry. Access control is one of the key tools in DHS to to protect the privacy and security of data. The designation of who and under what circumstances can access either viewing and entering or editing data should be based on documented policy agreed to by the proper authorities. The policy should take into consideration the various roles and responsibilities inherent in the health program using the DHS to system, including things like the turnover of staff and the hiring of new individuals. So that the training and the establishment of user access is something that is consistently monitored and taken care of DHS to as a platform provides several layers of access control. User roles which can be designated based on the specific job functions and access levels of a certain type of user, whether they be a healthcare provider or a secondary data entry clerk, a supervisor or somebody at the national level. It should be assigned to specific user roles and given access based on those roles. The data access is what can grant access to specific components within DHS to these can be very granular, whether they are to specific programs or even components of those programs such as just individual stages or even certain data elements. So you have the tools available to make the limitations that are going to match up with the responsibilities of the individual. And of course the user should be assigned to specific organization units. These organization units are what represent the level of the system they're working at and the location. They should have access to data that are relevant to the location where they work and the responsibilities that they have within that location, and that this will be based on these three access control mechanisms. So let's look at some of the relevant legislation and norms that we would encounter in establishing a DHS to system legislation on personal data and privacy will vary by country. Local laws and regulations should be reviewed during the planning process for DHS to system, particularly where individual level data is involved. So from the outset what the requirements would be in the location where you are setting up the DHS to system, and this would figure into how the system ends up being configured what user roles are designed how data access is granted. The lack of such legislation in a given country will not make this easier. Actually, it would be a burden of those that are implementing the DHS to system to take the extra steps required to institute new guidelines policies and practice. So we'll take a look at some key concepts that you may want to take with you. Trying to push for new regulations or policies related to privacy and security by looking at the concepts from GDPR the General Data Protection Regulation Act for the European Union and European Economic Area. One of the key concepts is the concept of personal data. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person, a data subject and identifier can be a name and identification number location data or an online identifier. And there are special categories of personal data that require additional protection, special categories of personal data include but are not limited to data on an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, health, genetic and biometric data. Often in health information systems, there are various parts of these special categories, which are relevant to the health analysis that is being done, or that may end up being relevant in the future. So there's often an intention to collect data that would be fitting into these special categories. If you do so, you would need to make sure that you're staying compliant with any existing regulations, as well as taking the appropriate actions to restrict access to any such data. A data controller is defined in GDPR as someone who either alone or jointly with others will determine the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. The controllers are those that bear the primary responsibility for compliance. Many countries will not yet have identified or outlined the responsibilities of a data controller and it may be necessary to do so when the DHS to project is implemented. The consent is defined in the GDPR as the consent of a data subject, given freely with specific informed and unambiguous indication of their wishes by which by statement or clear affirmative action, they will proclaim agreement to the processing of their personal data. Privacy by design means that each news service or business process that makes use of personal data must take the protection of that data into consideration. This gets back to that concept of something that doesn't happen by accident privacy is something that must be planned for privacy by default also fits into this concept, recommending that the strictest privacy settings automatically apply once a customer requires a new product or service or in our case clients or patients. The data controllers or processors are only allowed to store data for the shortest possible time it takes to provide a product or a service. Minimization is the concept that the data administration must be adequate relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they're processed. Again, this is often a key challenge in DHS two settings where the data systems are meant to be maximized for the amount of information that they can collect. But it's important to keep in mind that when collecting information that could be construed as unnecessary that you would be falling afoul of some of the norms and expectations with regards to data privacy. pseudonymization is often needed in the health sector where we must still be able to identify an individual in order to support the continuum of care or be able to provide them adequate services, but still need to be able to identify identity pseudonymization refers to a privacy enhancing technique where personal data is processed without the ability to link it to a specific person. This can be achieved by making the information non attributable without additional information, which must be kept separately and is subject to various technical and organizational controls. When personalized information is still a form of personal data, its usage is heavily encouraged by the GDPR. It's even identified as a viable security measure. So we'll take now a look at several countries and how they have used principles from GDPR and encoded them into their own legislation and what their interpretations might be looking first at the United Kingdom. They outlined the seven principles of their underlying privacy regulation stemming from the GDPR starting first with lawfulness fairness and transparency, arguing that personal data should be processed lawfully fairly and in a transparent manner in a relation to individuals. In order to make purpose limitation personal data should be collected for specified explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. This is an important consideration when we're talking about health where many countries may have a concept of storing health data long term. In order to continue to be able to do research on said data, be able to use it as a registry such as happens in Scandinavia countries for things like cancer or pregnancy. The GDPR and the UK system and interpretation of it has argued that further processing of such data for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purpose is not considered incompatible with the initial purposes, but it would be important to be able to define what those purposes might be and have a policy around approving those purposes before they are taken action. The data minimization, the data administration in the UK must be adequate relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they're processed accuracy. Personal data should be accurate and where necessary kept up to date. Every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they're processed are erased or rectified without access. This is an aspect of privacy and security that is often under recognized when implementing DHS two systems where the individuals who have given their consent to be registered into the health system are also have an expectation that their data would be accurate, and that the data would be able to provide them adequate services or report accurately on the services that they received. So a key part of any privacy and security plan within a given country should have steps for rectifying duplicates, updating information that is incorrect, removing data that are inaccurate. Personal data should be kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the personal data are processed. Personal data may be stored for longer periods in so far as the personal data will be processed solely for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes. Or statistical purposes subject to implementation of the appropriate technical and organizational measures required by the GDPR in order to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals. This again gets back to the concept of collecting the data that you need, using it for the purposes that are already outlined, not storing it for longer than is necessary. Again this is a consideration that often hasn't been taken into account when setting up a health management information system. There's often not specific regulation about when to remove data and how long in the past data can be useful for. Again, there are exceptions outlined that would allow you to continue to use data for longer periods when there is a public interest or a scientific approach associated with it. Again, this should probably be defined and laid out clearly in a plan with the country integrity and confidentiality. The personal data should be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss destruction or damage using appropriate technical or organizational measures. Again, the first part of this definition is something that is probably well understood, but inherent as well with data security and data privacy is that the data would be protected against accidental loss destruction or damage. This can also help bolster the argument that these systems in place and countries should have appropriate backups, offsite storage plans for continuous electricity and non interruption of data access. Again, the person and the individuals that have given their consent to be a part of this system, the expectations from the government that they would have access to necessary information, all should play into your privacy and security plan. Another country, which is a DHS to country, just looking at some examples of their data protection act passed in 2021 and the concepts that they use. It established the office of a data protection commissioner, which could be analogous to this concept of data controllers. The person shall not control or process personal data without registering as a data controller or a data processor under this act. And the expectations for the data are that they would be processed lawfully fairly and transparently the same language that was used in the UK legislation. The data would be collected for explicit specified and legitimate purposes, and not further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. The data would be adequate relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed. The data would be accurate and where necessary kept up to date with every reasonable step taken to ensure that any inaccurate personal data is erased or rectified without delay. The data would be stored in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. The data would be processed in accordance with the rights of a data subject and processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against any unauthorized or unlawful processing and against any loss, destruction or damage using appropriate technical or organizational measures. You can see that much of this language is again repeated from the original GDPR and the UK legislation. The data protection act, a person shall not process sensitive personal data unless the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine. For the assessment of the working capacity of the employee for medical diagnosis, where the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services. So the data protection acts gives specific authority for the kinds of purposes that DHS to is often used. But again, this is a clause that should be understood and referenced specifically in a data protection and privacy plan for the country. Now we'll take a look at some of the practical recommendations for ensuring good practice in your implementation of DHS to the first step for the project would be the development of a security management plan. The plan would create a high level executive security statement with a scope principles and commitments related to security. The plan should appoint or assign the role of a security manager at a management level with responsibilities across the data admin team. There's going to be a standing agenda item in the management group meetings on the progress with the security plan, and making sure to add privacy and security components to training curricula for users. Often the concepts that have outlined previously coming from GDPR our concepts that the users may not even be familiar with would be a good idea to go over those concepts and stress the importance of the different security practices that have been outlined in your security management plan. As mentioned one of the key roles that could be included is the data controller or security manager. This would be the person who has responsibility for the personal data in the system. Just to emphasize this is not simply a data administrator or somebody doing data analytics. This is a named individual who has the named and outlined responsibility for this personal data. They would be responsible for conducting routine security checks, data privacy impact assessments and working with all DHS to another systems introduced in the future. Under GDPR the level of responsibility here includes illegal responsibility to respond to all data breaches within a named timeline. So this could be something that is also considered for the policies under your data security management plan. Another initial step that would be important to take would be to do a landscape review, working with the Ministry of Health to identify the relevant policies or legislation. If that legislation exists such as in Zambia, you would conduct a data privacy impact assessment of the proposed or existing system with regards to that specific legislation. You can document the risks and mitigation measures that will keep the system in compliance in many countries they will not have legislation. You could work with the Ministry of Health to form a working group with a recognized responsibility to develop privacy and security guidelines for that system. You could seek approval for the proposed guidelines from the highest possible authority and then conduct a data privacy impact assessment as before. Now we'll take a look at what the data privacy impact assessment is, as defined in the GDPR and a practice which would be a good idea to include in your implementation. The PIA is a process designed to describe the data processing, assess its necessity and proportionality and help manage the risks to the rights and freedoms of people resulting from the processing of personal data by assessing them and determining the measures to address them. Essentially walking through your security management plan, identifying the processes corresponding to those assessing again the original intent of the system and the reason for collecting the data and ensuring that your practices are aligned with all of these original decisions. DPIAs can be started as early as is practicable in the design of the processing operation, even if some of the operations are still unknown. You can start very early in the process and update the DPIA throughout the life cycle of the project to ensure that data protection and privacy are considered and will encourage the creation of solutions which promote compliance. Just taking a look at what the cycle can look like for the DPIA and as you can see it's an ongoing and continuous cycle that can be built into your project planning. We'd start with describing the envisaged processes, assess their necessity and proportionality, take a look at what your metrics and measures would be, assess the risks to rights and freedoms of individuals associated with your system. Take a look at the measures that you have outlined and defined to address those risks, make sure everything is included in the documentation, continue with a process of monitoring and review, and always be ready to start this process again throughout the life cycle of the project. We're going to take a look at the configuration and implementation of DHS2 and how that can impact your privacy and security of your system. The DHS2 software is pre-built with a number of available features which we have discussed around data access and designing the user roles, as well as the underlying architecture and platform technology which is designed to protect your data. But this DHS2 software can be configured well or poorly. Where personal data is involved, poor software configuration can lead to increased risk of inappropriate access, which can compromise individual privacy. When it comes to the system architecture, appropriate hardware and environment for sensitive data is very important. It's important to stay up to date with routine updates of the DHS2 platform which happened twice a year and always contain additional security features as well as fixing of bugs and closing of any gaps in the technology. Access controls, as discussed before, should be designed with the roles and responsibilities relevant for the health program and will probably require input from many individuals that know the different roles of the workers and users of the system and help inform how the access controls should be applied. The system design is very important, specific efforts to reduce the data needed and avoid collecting highly sensitive data wherever possible is important. And you should have a plan for long term security oversight for doing routine security reviews, the DPIA, looking at responsiveness to any breaches that are reported or concerns that are raised. It's important to consider the impact on the project budget when you're taking into consideration privacy and security. Implementing DHS2 in accordance with privacy regulations and best practices can involve adding budget lines for conducting privacy reviews, hiring a data controller, conducting privacy trainings for administrative staff, using appropriate hardware and system environment, which will be discussed more in the hosting module. And some costs will be recurring and need to be planned for such as funding data backups so that personal data is available and can be restored in case of compromise or data loss and periodic data integrity audits and reviews. In summary, privacy and security are important considerations for DHS2. All health data should be considered sensitive, especially individual data. DHS2 implementation should be planned in compliance with local laws and the absence of legislation frameworks such as GDPR offer useful concepts for best practice. It's important to ensure that plans, procedures and people are in place and budget for this when planning. It's also important to have proper configuration of DHS2 in order to reduce the risk of privacy and security breaches.


So obviously this series is going to have a new prison and new inmates I'm assuming. How is Pensatucky going to cope without the security of her blanket or big boo? Pensatucky, remember at the end of five, she's on the run so she's a fugitive. Then you have to find out what happens with her. Yeah, there's no more Litchfield. We're off to maximum security prison. So it's like, said new tribes, new bunks, new guards, new prisoners, new, you know, just readjusting and reinventing survival mode. Speaking of survival mode, so if she's on the run, how is she coping with... Being on the run? I have to see. I have to see if she, you know, her moral compass, she has one. She has been developing one though because she's a character who's sort of grown the most, I guess, across the hall to see her. Yeah, I feel like she's getting better because of jail.   Constantly. How's that to take? Fans always come up and say, you're mean. I didn't know if I should come up to you. And I'm like, yeah, come here. And then mostly they just all want to hug. Yeah. They, I've never been hugged so much in my life, like, happened overnight. What's your funniest memory from filming with everyone? Because everyone's so close. Probably, like, just hanging out in our dressing rooms and everybody has their dog. We all have, like, our dressing room doors open and there's all the dogs running in and out, some fighting, you know, some taking shits everywhere. The last season they were like, all right, no dogs on set. So we're like, all right, bummer. That was, like, one of the most fun parts of it. So what'd you do with no dogs then? What had you passed the time in between takes? They weren't even barely looking at each other. I'm just kidding. No, it's just, we all hang out.   And everybody has, like, all these other things going on.   And when they come up in the script, how do people react now? Six series on the right? I was like, oh, is that another one? It just depends on the context of the scene, like, if you're, you know, if you want to be in the nude or if you're forced into the nude.   I mean, though it's a comedy, it's like, everyone's there to work. So it's still professional, close set. It's like, we've seen her boobs, like, many times. No. But it's like, it's all very polite and professional. Fans love to ship characters together. If you could ship Pentatucky with any one in the show.  It would be funny if she was with, like, porn stash. That's from the beginning. Wow, okay. Yeah, I think she likes boys more than girls, though. Keep her with the men.

I look forward to serving you in the new year. May God bless you.


Hey, what's going on everybody? My name is John Hammond and welcome back to another YouTube video Here I am again presenting you with a new challenge and a challenge prompt This one is called missing numbers in the problem below replace each question mark with either a 1, 3, 6 or 7 To make the numbers add up correctly each number is only used once so this is very simple It's just a little bit of math We can make a program or a little bit of Python to figure this out for us with a lot of brute force permutation stuff You could also just go through this one in your head It's pretty simple if you've got eight six if you're adding those two together and you only have a possibility to Well get a four at the very end. Well, you know, you're gonna have to add Well for one thing an eight and a six is gonna give us that four that works just fine But we know that it's gonna carry over a one So when we add a five and something else with a one you're still gonna have to get a seven That seven is too high. I won't get us all the way over there So a one plus a one is gonna get us a two. So we know what one has to be in that question mark spot We know that still we're not carrying anything over now. So we're gonna have to use something plus four He's gonna get us a one. Well, we know we can figure out that it's a simple equation We can solve for one that's gonna be the seven here four plus seven is gonna equal one with the carry over and then obviously that two plus Question mark with a one carried over two plus a three plus a one is gonna get us a two plus four Which will get us that six as the final question mark So that should be very easy to solve Mentally, but let's see we can get Python to figure out how to solve it all for us So that's our next challenge and I'll get back to you with it tomorrow But please if you can crank out some of that code on your own and we'll see it tomorrow


Now we're going to look at wave speed. Now to understand wave speed, we have to remember that a wave is a disturbance that travels through space. So the wave speed is the speed of the disturbance, and this is not the same as the speed of the individual particles. Now these statements are going to make more sense if we take a look at a simulation here. And the one that we're using is the P-H-E-T, which is out of the University of Colorado, waves on a string. And I've got that ready and loaded up here. So for this particular situation, if I start a disturbance moving, it's the speed of that disturbance is my wave speed. Now I could very easily make this an oscillating wave, so I don't have to keep moving that up and down. And we again see that our wave speed is how fast the speed is traveling along the string. Now I'm going to put this into slow motion here for just a minute. And again we see our wave speed. But now I want to get to that second comment. You see each individual particle is moving up and down. And in this case it's actually moving up and down with a velocity that can be described by simple harmonic motion. So it's not the velocity of the individual particles as they're moving. It's the velocity of the wave, the disturbance as it travels along. So that's our wave speed. Now in terms of an equation, any speed can be written out as a distance traveled over a certain amount of time. And we could note that here with V being our speed. Sometimes referred to as a velocity, but in this case we don't care about the direction, a distance and a time. Now we can use this basic equation for just any sort of disturbance, a wave pulse, something that goes through. If we've got periodic waves, meaning they're repeating like our oscillating waves, then I could also express the equation using this one, where again V represents my wave speed. But now I've got this lambda for wavelength and capital T for period. And this equation makes sense if you think about the fact that the wavelength is the distance for one cycle and the period is the time for one cycle. So once again we've got a distance per time and that's our wave speed. So each particle, the disturbance will move a distance lambda in a time of T. Now when we think about units, regardless of whether we use the general equation or the periodic equation, you've got some sort of distance over time and so you're going to have standard units of meters per second. Wavelengths are measured in meters, periods are measured in seconds. Now you could have feet per hour or any sort of distance per time unit, but our standard metric is going to be meters per second. So this introduces the concept of wave speed.


turning diesel. Get more in all of you. Our load is supposed to be ready today so we've loaded up the truck. Just had an idling here for a little while.   And we'll be out for a while. Making money. Right, Diesel? Right, Diesel. Gotta feed you, man. Feed you. Good boy. Alright, so I'm just gonna make sure I got everything I need and then we'll get going. Well, here we are in TransCanada. Now we're headed west so we're on the east side of Winnipeg. Look at this truck at that point, you know. It just feels good to be back. My windshield. Good to see you guys. So we're bob tailing still. We're running into Winnipeg to pick up our preloaded trailer which is taking us down to the Carolinas. And I've still gotta figure out once I see the destinations. I gotta see if I gotta leave right now. It feels so good to be back in the truck again. And hooked up to a trailer. I'm just gonna make sure that they're done in here. I'm still in the dock so I just wanna make sure they're not in there. You see? The doors closed. The plate is off my trailer. That's good. I just wanna make sure that I'm not gonna be driving off when they're in there, right? Always double check. And what are you little guy? That is a bee. Should I step on him? He's got like spider legs. That is cool. Hello bee. We'll let him live because we're good people. I thought it was a spider. It's a spider bee. Some crazy mating going on around here. Spiders and bees. I guess all things are possible, right? That's what they say. Okay, let's roll up these landing gear here. And they go on. All right. So I've hooked up the trailer. I've hooked up the airlines. And for all of you new subscribers, hi, I'm Trucker Josh. How's it going? That's Diesel. He's the star where he likes to think so. Watch this. Diesel. Sit. Good boy. Lay down. Close enough. Okay, so I drive a truck for a living. So like I say in videos, the vlogs aren't necessarily about trucking only. But I live in a truck pretty much.  But most of my life is in the truck here. So you guys who aren't truckers welcome here. I want these videos to be appealing to everybody. But I'm a little tired from rolling up the dollies there. I need to get in shape, Trucker Josh. But you're probably going to learn a few things about the trucking industry just by watching my videos. Like this. I just hooked up the airlines which control the brakes, right? What I'm going to do now is I'm going to push this red button in. Make sure that yellow one is still out. That's the trailer air brakes. So by pushing that, it pushes air into the trailer. It'll lift up the suspension and release the brakes. But now that the truck is off and the air is flowing, we're going to go back and check to see if there's any air leaks. So this is the one that we pumped air through right now, right? We're going to go to the back here and make sure that there's no air leaks. That air leak you're hearing there? I saw an air leak suspension adjusting itself. So you'll be able to hear it here. Maybe not. You should be able to hear the air flowing into the trailer. Oh yeah, there it goes. And can you hear any air leaks? No audible air leaks. That's good. If you have any audible air leaks, you've got to get them fixed before you take it on the road. So for all of the new people who are watching, who are not truck drivers, I should let you know that there's a lot of responsibility put on us, the truck drivers, to make sure our equipment is safe to work and safe to drive down the highway so that we don't kill anybody out there. Because these machines are ridiculously heavy. Just to give you an idea of how long it'll take me to stop this thing. If I'm doing 65 mile an hour, 100 kilometers an hour down the highway, it'll take me more than a full American football field to stop.   Just remember that when you're in traffic, going highway speed, that truck you passed needs a long stretch to stop. Just because we've got 18 tires on the ground doesn't mean we can stop any faster. That just means we're hauling a whole lot more weight. All that inertia, we can go all like science class on you or like physics class and teach you why we need so long to stop. But, I'm sure you guys understand that once an object is in motion, it wants to keep being in motion. It doesn't like to stop, alright? It takes a lot of friction to stop 80,000 pounds. I'm not a science teacher. Who am I kidding? Just take my word for it. So yes, a lot of responsibility goes to the driver to make sure he's leaving enough following space between him and the vehicle in front of him, right? That's why truckers leave such a big space in traffic.  No, we're leaving space so that we have time to stop so we don't kill anybody. But most people don't understand that and they crowd in there and cut in there and they think that it's an open spot for them. They don't have time on our brakes.  So, a lot of responsibility, a lot of skill, I would say. You know, some people call it an unskilled profession driving a truck but you need a lot of skill and knowledge of how to operate these things, how much space you need to stop, how much room you need to turn, how to back this thing up, how much weight you can carry. We can haul 80,000 pounds in the United States, 87,000 pounds in Canada on a tandem trailer like I'm hauling right now. But that weight has to be evenly distributed between all the axles. So if it's not evenly distributed, we can only have a certain amount per axle, right? And if it's too much on one, we have to slide our axles on the trailer to distribute the weight evenly, right? A lot of math, a lot of thinking. I don't want to talk about this all day and end it right here. I just want to bring everybody up to speed because I haven't been on the road for a while and I've gained a lot of new subscribers and a lot of subscribers who don't drive trucks so I just want to fill you in a little bit about what's going on so you sort of understand what I'm talking about in the videos. I try to keep everybody up to date. That's all this is. So if I'm just preaching to the choir here sorry about that. We'll see you in the next clip. Okay? We're back here in the house. We're back here in the house and the camera's on the tripod. Why is the camera on the tripod? Because we need to film another vlog. Why? Because I lost yesterday's vlog. It was halfway done uploading when my computer crashed. I don't know if it was a crash but my hard drive went I don't want to do anything anymore I don't want to do anything anymore It died. It died. So the computer's dead. So I had to go and get a new tool for the trade. So my vlog from yesterday had not uploaded yet. So I got a bit lost. It's lost. She gone. That was such a good vlog too you should have seen it. There was flooding back that I had it. There was me playing Fetcher Diesel in the back. I was really proud of that vlog. It was so good. Nice 20 minute vlog and I lost it. So to make sure that that never happens again I got myself here a two terabyte whatever you call it external hard drive pretty much. So everything's going to be backed up from now on. Right away instead of waiting until after it's uploaded before I even uploaded back it up just in case my computer decides to fart out on me while it's uploading It's frustrating. It's been all morning at eBytes and Steinback trying to get this thing fixed and they just couldn't fix it. So I kept the computer I might let some other techies fiddle around with it in the future but pretty much it's gone. Hard drive everything on it is gone So we start fresh we start new. So you will probably notice that there might not have been the same intro and same music on this vlog. I've got to go and find that all and put it onto my external hard drive so that this doesn't happen again It's not the end of the world guys. It's just a big bummer for me I wanted to spend that money into a cell phone booster for on my roof so I could get cell phone service in my house Now I had to spend it on a new laptop so the cell phone booster I'll have to wait a month or two or three or ten I don't know I was lucky that I could replace it anyways anyways so we're going to start filming that other vlog. I don't know what I'm going to talk about yet I was not expecting to have to film another one but it's going to be another one pretty much of me standing right here with the background there and you've probably seen it already actually because it'll be going up before this one even it's got to replace yesterday's vlog Dang it! But anyways guys so I'm going to start doing that and I'm going to start making some more hamburgers I made hamburgers yesterday but they were so good we're going to have them again today and it's like I have a barbecue in my house here so ooh it's nice and hot already so we're going to go ahead and make some hamburgers alright we're back with this camera just because the quality is better than the GoPro when I'm walking around it's got a stabler shot so we're about to make some hamburgers hamburgers hamburgers hamburgers okay so we're going to get our hamburgers out of our freezer here hamburgers hamburgers hamburgers hamburgers hamburgers yeah hamburgers so these are the ones we were playing fetch yesterday and we had it all vlogged and on camera ready to go but the vlog didn't upload because my hard drive went hard drive it's the only way to describe what happened to it but anyways while we were playing fetch dun dun dun diesel's toy got stuck up in the tree so we're going to try to get it down with this candle what else are candles for now we got a toy and a candle in the tree alright we need something heavy we can throw diesel can I throw you too heavy you'd love that though I can fly no I find something here's a good toy yeah this might work this isn't really heavy enough I don't think though I don't need anything that heavy I just needed to hit it to knock it out right well try again there's dogs barking everywhere but we got it it was up in the tree but now it's there with diesel as he's doing his diesel business diesel what you doing man so there is still a candle in the tree we did not get the candle down I'm going to see if I can show you where it is here I'm going to find it there it is there it is there's a candle oops let me see if I can get a better view there's a candle in my tree I can't get it out I wonder where I should hang this picture it's like a 3D picture I don't think it shows up in the camera but it's like it's popping out of the picture got it out of flying J like three four five years ago or something like that I like it so I guess I'm going to end the vlog here I've got to edit everything up yet and yesterday's video upload it and render it shoot that's going to take a while yet better get on that guys I don't know if this vlog turned out to be around 20 minutes or not but it's a vlog nonetheless there will be another one up tomorrow tomorrow we're leaving on the trip we'll talk to you then, 4am central time
