Here you go. Okay, thank you. Moving along here into our first area. Yeah, so we are talking about this faculty program and it's part of a larger team in the Make WordPress community. This is the community that works on the open source software WordPress contributing to its success. In the ways that we do in the training team is by teaching people how to use, extend and contribute to WordPress through synchronous like we're doing today and asynchronous learning. That asynchronous learning portion happens on this site learnwordpress.org, which I'll just quickly click here. And a little preview is we're given this site a facelift very soon, so we'll stay tuned for that. But that's part of the work that we do here. We do this through creating things such as lessons, courses, video and transcripts and these online workshops like the one you're on with us now. We also have some goals here that I just wanted to share with you. These links are available in the slides I shared and I'll also share them in the chat right now. But basically in a nutshell, we are trying to ensure and assist and empower people to use WordPress to the best of their ability. And the way we do that is be within the team, we have a contributor ladder and this ladder, oh, thank you for sharing the slides again, Laura. This ladder essentially shows a pathway for contributing to our team. Every team will have its own different way of contributing here and there's many teams. So if you like marketing, there's marketing, there's design, there's development, if you're more development focused, although we do have development things we like to tackle together in the training team. But this is our main goal and so this is all volunteer led. Some folks do have sponsorship through companies and there's a whole program for receiving sponsorship as well that I'm not gonna talk to you about today, but if you're curious, you can find me later, I'm happy to chat with you. But for the training team's purposes, we like to define our ladder through those five roles that we'll go through in more depth and then you can occupy a content creator role which is creating videos, transcripts, any content needed to be published on Learn WordPress or shown in an online workshop, a content translator. So if you know any other different languages, you are helping localize that content into your native language or another language that you know so we can spread this information more widely across the globe. Editor, so these folks help the content creators and sometimes the content translators to make sure that the grammar format is looking great and they'll also help triage feedback if someone goes through a course and they're like, hey, this part was maybe wrong or needs an edit, they'll log that and maybe edit it as well. Subject matter expert, that is someone who essentially if you are very well versed in a topic, you will help folks like the content creators to fill in the blanks as needed. And then administrator such as myself is kind of like the backbone of the behind the scenes, I'll call it. So we're kind of like in our mailing system, if we get inquiries, we're taking care of that, we're helping push projects forward. And where the faculty members sit in this ladder is in the leading portion. So you'll see we go from connecting, engaging, performing and leading. You can be at any point in this ladder and any point is great by the way, you don't have to just continuously climb the ladder but we did wanna show the pathway of what it would lead to if you would like to pursue another stage in the volunteering. And to be clear, you do not need to be a faculty member to contribute to these areas. We do get a lot of questions like, hey, can I even do this? I'm not a faculty member. If you are a training team member, you can still perform these actions. Some of them might require a certain access that only faculty have. And that's when maybe you're like, hey, I want that access. Maybe I'll climb that ladder but otherwise you are totally welcome and can be mentored to contribute to any of those areas without having to go to the faculty member status. However, I do wanna be clear that there are a couple of things you will need in order to contribute in general. And one is you need a WordPress.org account. I have a video attached. You'll need to join the Make WordPress Slack. That's essentially where Laura, Tracy and myself like live when we're chatting through certain topics. We have the training team meetings there. That's where you can also get help from other training team members. So it's really great to join us there. And it's asynchronous too. Just chatting, people have their own system for responding. But that's the way for us to stay connected. GitHub as well. This is what we use to basically manage a lot of the work that we're doing. And I'll be going through it a bit more in the slides what that GitHub looks like. If anyone has questions about our processes in that regard and we have more time, I'm very happy to give like a full rundown of our GitHub as well. And then lastly, the training team site, which I will click into, I didn't click into before. But this is basically our site where you can follow the latest news about our team. This is where we post about our focus areas. We see our goals for 2024. We have discussions here as a team about what changes we could make or contribute to or just things we could do to better the work that we're doing. We also list the projects we're working on. And you'll also see that we have notes from our weekly meetings here too. So that's one of the best ways as well, especially if you don't want to get involved with Slack to just keep up to date with what we are up to. And I do have a cheeky link to our onboarding guide, which has all of this lovely information and I'll link this here. It tells you how to set up all of these things and more, but these are just the basics I wanted to flag with you all. So onto the faculty program. What separates the faculty program from or being a faculty member from being a training team member is that faculty members are also more dedicated to continuing the work. So it is all volunteer run, what we're doing here, but there are some folks that are able to more consistently contribute. And so being part of the faculty program means that you are able to dedicate a certain amount of time per week, per month in a reliant and consistent manner to help us progress our goals. So that's another differentiator. And it doesn't mean that you're not doing more or less of your training team member, but there is just a bit more expectations that we have for you if you are in the faculty member role. It also kind of gives you a little bit of like, I don't know, I don't like prestige to be in this program too, because you are seen as a mentor as well within the training team. So people look up to you, people will ask you questions. So it is important for you to be present and be doing the work if you were to get yourself involved with this role in particular. But as we know, volunteers, we are sharing our time. So I just wanted to make that clear as well. And to date, we currently have 28 active members. We have the faculty program page as well though, which links out to a spreadsheet, which also shows like the inactive members. So there's been already since it was born, I think two years ago now. Oh my goodness. Our baby is two years old, but there's already been a good rotation of folks too. And it's healthy to have a rotation. So there's always fresh faces and perspectives, but we've held strong at about 28 to 30 members in any given year who are active. So I did wanna deep dive a little bit more into what each role does. And there are specific pages involved with this as well, but sorry, I know this is very text heavy. You can read it or I'm not gonna read it, but our administrators help to maintain the bones of our operations and ensuring that processes and operations are running smooth and routine. And some of the expectations involved being an administrator is just actively contributing to the training team's help scout, which is our mail management system or the Learn GitHub repository within the past month. So one of the things we've implemented recently is just really digging deep into clarity about what it takes to do these roles and what are the expectations to maintain this role for yourself. So we've done all of these programs, like the faculty program are pretty fluid and flexible. We're always updating them. We're listening to feedback. We have feedback surveys, but these are some of the things I wanted to outline specifically for the admin. So a bit of what that could look like, I've just opened up here on the left-hand side a project thread that we have. So one of the things an administrator could do is help us stay on top of our projects. And I'll actually open this up here so you can see a bit more of what that looks like. We'll usually have an overview, talk about who the project members are, the timeline and you're probably thinking, isn't this open source? This is so coordinated. But I think it still helps to not just treat this like as a job, but something that's accomplishable. So we have made strides in the training team as well to implement these like DRIs, these directly responsible individuals and have a timeline so that we can see the work that we want to get done, get done. Next up, we have content creators. They're people who contribute new content or even updated content to learn WordPress. And yeah, this can be in the form of transcript creation. Sometimes we have folks that don't wanna do a whole video plus the transcript. Maybe they don't have, maybe they're a little video shy, they don't wanna record it. So there are folks that just do the transcript and then we have folks that are able to do the video. There's folks that are able to do both. But essentially it's flexible in that regard. Like whatever you can contribute to create the content is what we are happy to explore with you. So the expectation for our content creator would be to actively contribute to various content related tasks such as writing, recording, editing or facilitating content creation within the month. And I will link the area of responsibilities for content creators. I'm also linking a board which I will jump into a bit more detail in a moment. But so maybe don't open it now, I might look overwhelming but I will jump into that I promise.  We are moving away from this tutorial like thing but it could be this video tutorial that's telling people how to use the new 2024 theme. And they'll create the video, they'll put subtitles on there and they'll write this transcript as well. Next, we have editors and the editor role is really complimentary to the content creator role. So they will help ensure that the content is ready for publication by reviewing for accuracy of the content, grammar, instructional effectiveness, accessibility and once they've done that we can mark it as ready for publication and it will be ready to be received to learners. So editors will lend their expertise to the editing process by collaborating with content creators, subject matter experts within the month is their expectation. And now I'm gonna double back quickly to that link of that board. So this is a board that we have in GitHub and it's called the content development board. This is where a lot of our content creators and editors live essentially. You'll see here the ready to create. So if you're a content creator and you are just like, hey, I just want a topic that I can pick up and run with, this is the column you would want to be in and you can pick up if you know how to migrate, copy or clone a site for example and you're able to write a lesson about that. You would basically assign this to yourself and move it to this draft in progress stage. You'll see we've got quite a few drafts in progress worked on by various people and once you're done with your draft it becomes ready for review and this is where an editor gets tapped in. They would be able to review the content for that grammar accuracy, the context and content and just make sure that it's ready for the publication stage. So we work in stages together here and the way we communicate is through GitHub. There's a commenting system but we also communicate in our Slack channel which is why it is important to also be involved there because if I'm a content creator and I'm ready to have my content reviewed I'll probably message in Slack as well saying, hey, this migrate copy and clone a site lesson is now done. It's ready for review. You might have folks that are the training team just jump in there and try to review it or I might also tag the faculty editors and say, hey, can someone from the faculty editing team please help review this? So there's systems in place so that we can always have a constant motion toward the publication. Another area, let me grab some water one second. Another area where our editors live is this feedback section and this is feedback that's logged by folks learners who are on the Learn WordPress site. So you might be looking at a video or a lesson and you're like, hey, I think this portion was wrong or oh, actually this part of the video wasn't very accessible. You have either an enhancement or a fix you want to recommend. There's a feedback form on Learn itself where these are submitted into HelpScout which is where the admin would then take that information and log it here. And then an editor can come and just double check that. One, it's valid and two, what's the next stage? So they'll move it from validation to fix and then either fix it themselves or maybe the original creator will fix it but that will be the flow of this process so that we're always taking in the feedback and iterating on it as well. Okay, hang with me. We've got just two more folks to go through. Our subject matter experts, they essentially work with our content creators and editors provide expertise in the relevant area. Maybe you are super good at the block editor. You know how to build your own blocks. It's things like that. Maybe you know how to build plugins or themes. So they will help shape the accuracy and fullness of the content or the WordPress site by collaborating with content creators and sharing their unique expertise in their relevant subject area. And an expectation for subject matter expert is to just actively provide their specialized knowledge by collaborating with content creators and editors within the month. So just always be helping. Last but certainly not least, we have our translation coordinators. This one was our latest to form. We originally had those four that I shared at first but of course we wanted to make sure that the Learn WordPress site did have a robust multilingual aspect and that did require us to create a site goal for translation to occur and continue occurring. And so the translation coordinators, they help us with making sure that we are getting those translations published. They tap into their local communities to bring people in and keep in touch with folks as they're going through the process. So they often come from a translation background and serve the team by working alongside those content translators. Just empowering them to see through their invaluable translations drew to publication. And their expectation is really just that, like actively contributing to the translation efforts within that month. So working closely with those content translators and making sure we can get that content to the community that needs it. And here I just wanted to do a little side-by-side of what that looks like when it happens and is published. So we have here English on the left side and really Gujarati on the right side. And so not always is the video translated. We definitely want to get to that stage where the video content is fully translated as well. But at least folks can follow along in their locale through the translation of the transcript and through the subtitles. So this is still an area where we as a team know we are growing and we're working on expanding, but just having the option already there to expand the learning capacity is really our goal here. I feel like I'm gonna actually go, I'll tell you how to apply, but let's go to the Q&A first because I've done a lot of talking. And before I do my final sales page of are you interested, you wanna apply, I'm curious if folks have any questions about the certain roles or maybe something I didn't touch up on that you were curious about. I can also go over something again, totally happy to do that or show examples in GitHub. Well, since nobody has any questions, I just wanted to, when Destiny shows the GitHub page, that was the biggest thing that scared me, but it does take a while, but don't let it overwhelm you of trying to find things. I've got some shortcuts for you. Some easy things to make sure that you bookmark things and stuff like that. So it is pretty simple to, once you get the hang of it, and they've added so many automations in the last few months that make it a lot easier to use also for people who are not tech-wise. And I am not a techie in that sense. Hi, Destiny. This is Tinu. I have a question around, yes, I'm looking at the GitHub dashboard, learn WP content. So if, say I was interested in participating on the content team to review tutorials, would I, I, assuming after going through the onboarding and so on, then how do I say pick up a tutorial to review? Are the avatars that I'm seeing right now, are these of the reviewers or the tutorial creators? You are muted, I believe. Yes, thank you. I was just saying, yes, that's a great question. Let me just pull one up here. So I know Wes is a content creator and he would be the original sign, creating it. And so right now you'll see on the right hand side for reviews, we try to have three people review. So right here it says the review stage is first review completed. And we wanna get them to the review complete here. So if you're here and you're like, hey, I wanna help review a piece of content, first looking at the stages then will be helpful. Cause then you know, okay, there's still two more reviews that need to happen. And then they'll have links to or not links, sorry, this is their checklist as a content creator. But down here, you know, Wes five days ago, he has this video. I believe what did happen is in Slack, he was like, hey, this is ready, please review it. But if you're just looking here, you can just see, okay, the video is posted, it probably needs a review. And we can see here, Tina has jumped in to the review stage. And she's like, okay, and we can see here Tina has jumped in and laid down a review here for this tutorial. So that's one. So if you were like, hey, I think I can review this as well. You can jump in and there's a checklist for reviewing as well that is here. So I'm post reviewed for grammar, spelling, et cetera. And I believe there is on our handbook, which I'll just say. The handbook page has the template for reviewing a tutorial. So let me, oh, it'd be in tutorials, wouldn't it? So, I don't know, I'm lost. Am I losing it here? I know me. I think it's how to GitHub. Yeah, the how to. Where did you go? I know Ben is so good at putting all these pages together. I'm like, where did you go? Look under creating a tutorial. Maybe that's one of them. No, it should be under something else. It should be under the, well, Tina, this is obviously a really good question. And it should have something to link up. I know it's kind of a little silly because I know where it was before. Oh, how to guys and then there's guidelines for reviewing content. Can I just start? I must, yeah. It's right there, fourth one down. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Guidelines. One more, yeah. Okay, cute. So as you can see, the team is a work in progress. It's like finding these things is how we get better here. But essentially as a reviewer, you could follow these guidelines for reviewing the content. And these guidelines I'm going to link to you here in the chat. Yeah, and just scroll down a little bit more and you'll see the templates. Yes. So what you would do here is copy, and I'll use that issue right here as an example, paste. I'm not gonna press comment, but you can preview here to see what's gonna happen if I were to do that. And so you could just say, hey, I'm gonna pick this up, comment with the checklist, and then go through the checklist to aid with your review. And if you are confused on any of these steps, don't worry. You can complete as much as you're capable of and ask questions. Your review will still count even if you can't complete the whole checklist. I know it can be daunting, but we can try your best and also we will help if there's any confusion around the tasks. Great, thank you. I'm just also curious with the tutorials in backlog in QR, these topics coming from the community or they've been brainstormed or ideated by the training team in the Ready to Create? Yes, yeah. So this column has a lot of history, I will say. We've done, there was more than 100 before, and I'm surprised it's only at 93 at this stage. But a lot of them were either from training team members or community members. And I will be honest and say that we are moving, I kind of hinted, oh yeah, the Learn WordPress site is getting the space lift. There's a lot of changes that are gonna be happening to our content. We surveyed the community and found that most people are watching the video tutorials or taking courses and they're not really looking at things like lesson plans. So we are shifting away from lesson plans and tutorials in the way they're done now, they're gonna turn into lessons, which will have the video component and the transcript. And then what we're aiming toward is, cause there's still folks I wanna teach at meetups about certain topics is having a kind of teacher's notes section in the course itself. So that would kind of take the place of the lesson plan where the teacher could open the notes and then be able to teach from that perspective. So there is a shift here and that might make a lot of these topics obsolete, especially as new releases come. So another part of that project is to deprecate and migrate and focus on really the most relevant materials to date. Got it. Thank you. Yeah. Will you be archiving the lesson plan content? Cause that's what I started looking at first. I'm just, I banged it fascinating. I was just curious. Yeah. So I would love for you to engage in our conversations there. We don't have yet a migration deprecation plan. So what will happen is essentially at the relaunch, the lesson plans will still be there, but it won't be accessible in that. It's not going to be in this menu bar, for example. So we do recognize there's a lot of great work that went on in that. And that's why we want to be able to move them into the teacher's notes. But yeah, at this stage, we're not just going to like unpublish them and not have it accessible, but it won't be the highlight of learn going forward. Right, you're not going to grow it, right? You'll just have this archive. Yeah. Oh, okay. I know, cause we got into archiving. How to archive work? Like, do you want to preserve it so you don't lose the work or do you not care? Do you know what I mean? I don't know. I can, I know about archiving using like the internet archive or other tools. If that's helpful, I don't know. Is that, if that's even part of this conversation or not? So. It definitely can be. And I think the most, the thing we want to be most conscious about is not confusing learners. Cause even if we put it in an archive, it might be out of date. So that's another conversation we need to have within the team of, you know, if we do want to leave it, it's fine. But then we do have to be clear that this is not going to be updated. And is that really serving folks if, you know, things aren't up to date? Right. But you could, it might be like a phase out plan. Oh, sorry. Yeah.  So you can see preserve your, the efforts, I guess. Anyway, I have to look. I noted that. Oh yeah. There's other things other than the wayback machine to put it in, but I was just curious. So I'm so new to this. I didn't even know this learn WordPress site existed. I mean, I've been, I just started using it in August. So I think when I, I think if I'm piecing it together correctly, this is, oh, I'm not a coder. So if I'm learning WordPress and I've written my own tutorials or something, this is a way to contribute to the open source part of it. Oh, okay. Absolutely. I like it. All right. I think I get it. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. That's absolutely it. And another change that we've done recently because we're trying to move toward like a more modern site look and practices as well is all of our videos are also uploaded to YouTube, the WordPress YouTube. So that's another area where if you create a video, for example, or even an online workshop, your contribution will be seen by millions, because YouTube is pretty big of people in the world. So that is something also to think about as a content creator of how you'll also be given back to it acknowledged within the space. Just the one thing to remember is that you cannot promote yourself or your own personal business. So that's why there's a distinction between you contributing to the open source project, which is a lot different than you might see a YouTuber who is doing content creation, making money from it and stuff like that. They would be able to do tutorials, but then they have to take off their branding and stuff like that. So those are stipulations that are within the handbook page. Diana also has a good question in the chat, which I was just like furiously trying to respond to. So I'll read my comment and also post it. Diana asks, is anyone on the team dedicated to reviewing old content to see if it's out of date print and where it needs to be updated? So yes, absolutely. We focus that kind of work around new releases. And so the new system, literally brand new that we're coming up with now is we'll have a couple of folks that are close to either the release or understand the features that are coming out. They'll create one GitHub issue that will list out the changes and also link to the pieces of content that we have created that need to be updated. And so that's why we love our GitHub because it really helps us piece together the content that was created. We still see the assignee, like is that person willing to come back again and make those edits? And if not, we still have this historical context around when it was created and who did what and what needs to change. So that is how we are handling recent updates. And also with this shift to the only courses, lessons and online workshops, we're really working to shed a lot of things that were just so out of date. We can't really update anymore and have a more manageable process. So that yeah, when folks come, they're not always bombarded with things that are out of date. And we actually have a conversation about that and I'm happy to lead to is that 6.5 discussion, yeah. When you... Okay, I saw the checklist, but when you... So you give training on how to write how you want the lesson to be structured. Is that correct? Like I'm just curious, like we follow if there's any pedagogy that's followed or anything. Yeah, so in our... And we're getting more clear about that actually with the lessons, for example, like the lesson creation process, this is all outlined in our handbook. However, we do have, at most recently, our content creators putting on onboarding sessions like this synchronous one we're having now. So if you have any curiosities or maybe need a bit more clarity on how to do things, they can help you out. So yeah, we do try to balance the written context with onboarding and I think we do have a recorded online workshop of that as well. But yeah, we do help people to get to where they need to go. And also if you're like, I'm not seeing this on the calendar, can someone please have a session on how to create the content? We're always willing to try to put that together too. I have a content question or maybe a top WordPress feature. And this is just around more of the, maybe working with the WordPress APIs. Are there learning paths or even if those are kind of going away or being deprecated, as you said, are there resources for those who are interested in learning about say more of the backend aspect of WordPress, right? And yeah, I asked this in more of just my own personal professional experience where I realized that what I was doing in the editor dashboard was one thing, but then I needed more understanding of what was going on in the backend. And it's that for me, just from my experience I'd love for someone to prove me wrong. It's where I've kind of found this gap in WordPress education or teaching online, just someone to teach this in a structured, concise way. And yeah, just not like stumbling around the back and trying to figure out what's happening. Yeah, Tina, I wanna cry. You're basically saying exactly what we're working towards. So we are creating learning pathways right now. We're creating user, developer and designer learning pathways that take you from beginner to expert in WordPress. And we do have a developer one that is being created right now. And we have a little project board for this as well, which you would have access to. Oh, great. I wanted to look. Yeah, so we're really working hard toward that vision. That's another thing that we found that people were looking at our site and they're like, where do I start? What am I trying to do here? So we are trying to get more of this outcome project-based content on Learn so that people, like yourself, like, hey, I just need to go from A to B in a concise manner, can get that. Oh, that'd be awesome. I'm forward to that, yeah. We are tentatively looking to launch that in July. So keep in touch. Great. And it's also something you can contribute to if you would like. We'll see, we'll see, yeah. Any other questions? These questions have been great and I'm just so jazzed. I just want to say thank you. I have so much in my head. I'm going to explore the Learn site and then read up the materials you've sent today. So thank you. Of course, you're very welcome. Then I will just take you through my final sales pitch, just a link to apply.  I just wanted to have this resource available for you. And then if you're like, hey, I want to work my way up to that, please just join us in the training team and get started on your contributor ladder journey. Laura, Tracy and I will be there. There's others, of course. Over 2,000 people in there, but not everyone's active memory. And so, yeah, we are more than happy to just help you and guide you through that journey. And yeah, maybe you'll join us as a faculty member, but we're just also very happy to have you as a training team member alongside us as well. So come with your questions, your input. We really would love to grow this together with you all. And with that said, just some ways to stay connected.  If you stumble into that Slack, you can find me at at destiny. That's my P.O.P.O. Fox, which is like tweeting Fox in Japanese is my .org profile. And there's a Twitter and our training team site. And then also content creation is a kind of hint to that. This online workshop we're in right now, you could also host one of these. So especially if you're like, hey, I come from an educational background, I wanna talk about how we do things, which would be awesome. We're always happy to learn more. You can check out what other workshops are available and also apply to be an online workshop facilitator. So there's just some other options of how you can contribute as well to the training team. So Destiny, this is Tina again. I saw on Meetup that there was a session to post it as well. Is that a continuation or a repeat of this session? It's a repeat for folks in a later time zone. Got it. Okay. Thanks. You're welcome to come back. You'll be like, I know all that. Thanks so much. This has been really informative and yeah, I'm excited about it. I've been just looking for more, just resources out there for learning more about WordPress. I do, I have clients that I work with and I've just been looking for that avenue ways to just deepen in my knowledge of the platform and being able to do my work more effectively. Right. Yeah. Excellent. I'm so glad you got what you needed out of this. All right. Well, let me stop recording. I think that official.


Welcom to Toffie TV. It is the match preview of Bournemouth vs Everton. Third Premier League game of the season. Down at a... What's called the vitality? Vitality stadium. Which is just too small, by the way. I thought they had to be gone by now. I thought they had to have done something to improve their capacity by now. Dunno. Was that just another one of Premier League rules that? Doesn't really matter. You go, oh yeah, you were sore. That fella that they never do. Dunno.  It's not. It's not. Do you know what it's not? It's the Premier League. It's not. It's the difference isn't it? Sorry, it's the Premier League. And you just expect just a little bit better. I'm not saying that we should have like a real saying. Team shouldn't be allowed up or anything. But I'm sure they were only given three years to sort themselves out. Or maybe the different stuff. Just saying. Tough game. Very tough game. Good side. Wondr open in two games. Yeah. Come back last week at the London Stadium. And they're a difficult side. Who? Never ever ever ever ever. Ever give up. Never give up. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Bournemouth have won 24 points in losing positions. Always come back and get late goals. And all seems to score quickly as well to goals in quick success. Beat us with a late goal there last year over Christmas, didn't he? That's a game we just literally threw away. We did. But they're a good side and they let you play because they play. And I think Everton, I think they'll find a slightly different Everton than what they've faced so far. I think in terms of we will almost match up with what they do. They press quite well. And that's what we've been doing quite well. It'll be interesting to see how Marko approaches it. But I think these give you chances and it'll be whether, for me personally, I think we're better than the final third than they are. And it's going to be interesting to see who takes the chance. You know, I think what I'll find it'll be interesting is how we approach this game. Obviously the first game of the season at Wolves, those games sort of take care of themselves. You're feeling each other out, but third game of the season, they've won the first couple. It'll be interesting to see whether he does change anything or he goes with the same kind of mentality that we've seen in the opening two games. I mean, don't get me wrong, at Wolves, I thought we were... There's still that cautiousness, but we played on the front foot. And I don't think we won't play on the front foot. I just wonder if anything will be different. Obviously it looks like Snarlon will be out because I imagine he'll be out for a few weeks. So it'll be interesting whether the approach has changed because of that.  And really, that's a more needed approach, actually, in away games than it is in home games. And in home games you can get away with maybe a little bit more fluidity in the midfield. But I just wonder whether this will mean, and if we spoke about this before, whether this will mean gilfy cigarettes and maybe sitting more in a three. And we spoke about this when we spoke about gilfy on our pageant show, the Tuesday topic. What do that mean, whether gilfy will just sit in a three and be part of a three rather than being advanced of two central midfielders? Because, you know, obviously going away from home, you've got to have that little bit of... We've got to have control, haven't you? Yeah, you've got to, it's about keeping the ball in the right areas. And almost, I mean, Roberto Martínez tried to do this. He's almost taken the risk out of the game by getting hold of the ball and moving the team's land. Where that felt ams, we passed it too much. I mean, we were technically good enough to pass it as much as we did and there was gaps at the back. So when we give it away, we get caught out. Marco Silva likes a spring load, the attackers, they call it, where there's, you know, let them have the ball and then it's particularly away from home and then break quickly. I mean, he done it absolutely fantastically well. We were waffered last season and watched that day highlight over the... When we were late with him just because on the channel, that was one of the games. It was a 25 minute thing and they broke so many times with the Allysons, fantastic. That day, in fact, he scored his first goal for Waffford at Bournemouth last season. But like I said, these let you, they do let you play Bournemouth just the nature of them. So it means that they're capable of beating anybody, but they're also capable of taking a hammer in as well because they are open. But they work hard and they're good on the ball. So it'll be interesting to see exactly. Well, the thing is last season when we went there, like, you know, you mentioned it, we started with three holding the field, is it, in a way? We started with James McCarthy. We started with Snidl and we started with Garnay. And it was only actually the changes that were made. I mean, if you remember it, I think Wayne Rooney. Rooney, go. And Tom Davies, was he? Rooney and Snidl and played in the field, didn't he, at the end, because they were the slowest to play? Oh, yeah, I thought. Well, Garnay went off, didn't he? No, yeah, that was it. Sorry, Garnay went off. James McCarthy went off, both of them were suffering from injuries. I ended up, yeah, you're right, having two really sort of slow midfielders and that's where they were allowed to break late on and that's where they took the game. So obviously on that day, we had the we had them sort of started with the respect, which was fine. It was just that by the end of the game where they are always strong towards the end of games. We seen that ability to change the game later on, which they did. So I think we can be a little bit more cautious in the centre of the park, but knowing that we've got Wolcott on one side of Charleston on the other, Coleman. And knowing that you've got, if you've got Guilfey, so you think the good thing about Guilfey is it's that Guilfey will sit. But then when he gets the ball can play, but he can do the he can do the work. We've seen that with Iceland. You know, we've seen that during the World Cup. He's not someone who's afraid to work hard. No, not at all. And I think, you see, I think Tom Davis will be in the midfield. I think that'll be his midfield three. I think it'll be Garner, Davison, Sigarton, and it will be. Cos he does do this, he does shift formation. Sometimes he's going to be Wafford, where Tom Clever leave him from being the point of the triangle to actually just being part of the three. And I think that's probably what you'll find at the weekend it'll be. Cos er Gwdderson, last week, Guilfey at times was playing as a striker. He was right alongside Towson, especially when he was pressing. It was like he was pressing from the front with the four of them. But I think you'll find that there'll be more of a line at the three. My field is in this one, and the owners will be on Coleman and Walcott and will be on Baines and the others side. And then Guilfey and Tom, I'm quite sure, will be encouraged to break on them as well. And then Garner will have to be disciplined in terms of sitting in front. So, obviously, we've probably, Michael Key and Mason Holgate, which should imagine, will be the same partnership unless the fearful of Callum Wilson's pace and anything about maybe putting Zoom in. Those options are there now, Andy. Kate's room could come in, and you never know, Kate's room could come in for Michael Keyne. At the end of the day, for the pace, Michael Keyne isn't the best when he has to turn and when he faces someone tricky. We've seen that with Bones, we've seen the goals he scored last week. I mean, one was a good header for my set piece, but the other one was a good bandstone and run. You would like to think that if someone had put half a challenge in, it would have just stopped it. Yeah, of course. Players are so fearful now of putting a challenge in, they're just back off and back off, and it's just perfect for strikers like that. But I think that's also the manager that Dave got. He's a person that is, he can't be asked, so why would he please? And I think with him doing that, I think I'm managing it. It demands a lot more and will demand more. And I think the quality of play we've got, if we can match the way right to the ability that's in our side, we'll be a very, very good try. It's an interesting test for us, as I said, because we've not done that well in the three leases they've been up. We've not won in the Premier League, yes, we won in NFA Cup tie. We blew their face, we were tuned up with ten minutes left, we were 3-2 with 30 seconds left and Martin has made the sub. It was more like four seconds left and Martin has made the sub when they scored. And since then, you're right, we lost 1-0 there and we've lost 2-1 this season. I think it's seen that the only team that we've played as often and have won an away game against the Sheffield United. Start, start it up. I suppose it's a case of going from what's been a solid start to a decent start if we can get the three points, going ahead of a team that, as I said, going for a decent team, I liked their manager, I don't think he was quite ready for the Everton job. But I think with another good year under his belt, a poem off, I think the next level will be ready for him, wherever that next level will be. But they've got money, haven't they? They've got Russian money. He's in control of everything, they're a good side, they're well and out the grand small, but the crowd get behind them and they're well supported there. So, what I mean is that, not saying he has to leave, I'm just saying another decent season in the Premier League will have him ready if that offer was there for him somewhere. If he wanted to, but he's well within his right to sort of shake it on. I don't know what the plans are for the next stage of the ground or whatever, or getting a new ground or whatever. But you'd like to think that he's the kind of one that would take them into that because I could see him actually staying there for this career, making him a competitive Premier League team. Cos he's had a guy went to Burnley, didn't he, and it didn't work out. He's gone back to Bournemouth and obviously that resulted in him getting promoted ultimately into the Premier League. And he's done very well since they come up, stayed up, done well, and they proved every season. I think, like I say, if you can keep Calum Wilson fit this season, he's had a couple of bad names to reason the last couple of years. I like Josh King, I think he's a very good player. He's got some dangerous, you know, Stanislas. He's absolutely rubbish against most teams I've had with him. But he's got dangerous players. He, you know, I've, Jordan, I've, on his day, can be dangerous players. So they've got good footballers. They're starting what they're starting to do as well. They're starting to transition from those players that got them up. You know, you give them all a chance and they all do pretty well for them. What he's starting to do, he's starting to transition those players into, you know, newer players. But he's given them all a chance and I think that that should be applauded. I think he's a really good English manager and I think there's not enough, we don't have enough time for those people. So it's going to be a difficult game. I imagine there'll be goals as well. They're always like layers to be between Everton and, for us, listen, for us, it's just doing what we're doing in our first couple of games. You know, just everyone working hard following the pattern we've been playing in. And, you know, let, I'm hoping that someone like Bernard is on the bench and after a week, another week is raining. I think he won't play this week. Well, I mean, we thought he would last week though. No, but he's last, he's last three weeks. I hope that he's on the bench because he could be that player in the last 20 minutes that you throw on that could produce that little bit of magic.  It was to say in the last 20 minutes you haven't got Guilfee on animal. Guilfee being a little bit more reserved in the number eight role and him being in the number 10 role and just creating those chances, unlocking the door. Cos I think that's where him as a player for the early part of his event create is going to be really important. I think he's got that little bit of magic where even if he's only at 50, 60% of his fitness, he can still unlock a game.  I don't know whether, Gomez is obviously still a couple of weeks away. And I think, yeah, I mean, I don't know if he's, it doesn't look like he's training.  Yeah, it's going to be a tough game, but I'm confident in the way we've started. I think we're going to go after them. I don't think we'll go there and ship back at all, cos I don't think it's in Marcus Silver's nature. I mean, we'll go after them. And like you say, now, when you look at that evidence side, now there's goals in it. There's a real threat with Charles and Walcott.  There's a real threat now in that attack on third, Luchman, if he doesn't spat the dummy this year. And what will be nice is to get a positive result ahead of two home games going into the international weekend? If we could win, be a fantastic start for me, seven out of nine points with Huddersfield to come around before the break, by your hand off for that. If it's a draw, fantastic, unbeaten, you know, two points away from home. But I think for our development, and this is a tough game, these are both their games, but if we could win it, I think we need to win these kind of games because we need, we should have beat Wolves and we didn't. Even though this is a tough game, I'm not saying we should beat Bourmouth. What I'm saying is this is a winnable game for us. I think if you want to finish sixth, if you want to push and challenge the top six, not saying we will, but if that's what our aim is, we've invested like that, we have to go after them. If we want to finish sixth or higher, we've got to win these games. Half of our Premier League games are way games, and that means beating seems like this. I think these will be, they're a better, obviously listen, they're a better side than Wolves. And I think they've got, and they've got that thing that Wolves haven't got as well, which is that they've got the shaviness, the no-over being in the Premier League. The first game of the season against Cardiff was a tough game, but with having the Premier League now, they got through it and stuff. So, yeah, I'm expecting a tough game. I'm hoping to see a little bit more from this team. I'm hoping that, you know, I think we have to make sure we have a little bit more control of the game because I think if we have, listen, there will be spells when Bourmouth were on top. But I think we've certainly set pieces. We've got to be better at set pieces than we were last week because I just think that from the Southampton game, we'll be punished more by Bourmouth than Southampton certainly did. So, I think we've got to be on it a little bit more. You've got to take our chances as well. We're creating off. You've got to start being more. Well, that's the thing. And if we do, some teams are going to, and I say this right now, some teams are going to get hired from Everton this season. I think if we don't take the chances that we didn't take against Southampton as well, we won't win this game. So, we've got to take those chances. So, let us know your thoughts in the comments. Are you positive? Are you hopeful we can get three points? Yes. What do you think is going to happen in this game? Let us know your thoughts. If any Bourmouth fans are watching, let us know why it's going so good for you. Let us know why you're so good at getting those late goals and how much you love your manager.

Quick question. My boyfriend has an avoidant attachment. Know all about that. We have different comfort zones of distance. How can we come to common ground without pressuring him or pushing him away? So avoidant attachment style for everybody that doesn't know is somebody that kind of pulls away and avoids things when they start feeling pressure or they start feeling a lot of kind of like negative emotions. And what they do is they pretend like they don't have emotional needs. They pretend like they don't have needs in regards to relationships. And so you're asking how can we come to common grounds without pressuring him or pushing him away? Well, what you need to do is communicate with him and communicate with him and just talk to him about like this is what you should do. What you should do is you should talk about what your perfect scenario would look like and ask him what his perfect scenario would look like and just ask him what he wants and what, you know, what would it look like and how would it feel? And and just kind of talk about your wants and your desires. And just, you know, just start coming, just start communicating, start having the conversation about it and just keep communicating and communicating and communicating and doing what we talk about in this video and doing the framing stuff that we talked about. It's very important communication, talking about.

In an unprecedented action, John Gillis, the director of the Office for Victims of Crime traveled around the United States to meet with crime victims first-hand to discuss their experiences with the criminal justice system. A series of roundtable meetings were held in nine states, with 30 states represented and over 300 participants. After careful analysis of the informative and heartfelt opinions expressed, there were certain areas of consistency that emerged. The issues focused on both the problems that exist in the criminal justice system and the needed remedies from the perspective of crime victims. This program series captures and reflects some of the key findings of the roundtable discussions. The series includes a total of five thematic videos on topics ranging from the financial impact of crime on victims to victim notification and basic case information. The opinions expressed are emblematic of many of the participants and is a way in which the Office for Victims of Crime has given a voice to victims. Find out how we help you is by going out and meeting with people outside the Beltway, going out and talking with crime victims, meeting the individuals at the grassroots level who are doing the work and who are doing it for the right reasons, not because they're being paid, but because they care about what they're doing. So I want to use this as an opportunity to find out from you how we can best help you at the grassroots level, how we can best do some of the things that will help you get through the tragedies that you've all suffered. We've had a lot of success over the last two decades, but in every state, in every city, every week, weekend and week out across this country, there are victims who still do not get notice of their cases, do not get notice of hearings or proceedings in their cases, are excluded from the courtroom at critical times because of a defendant's strategy or because of court indifference, are not allowed to speak when a release decision is made, when a plea bargain is entered into, when a sentence is going to be imposed, when parole is going to be granted. Every day these injustices happen in America, and we know through the history from the very beginning of our country, we know that the only way that we can solve great injustice in America is through the United States Constitution. Maybe we should think about changing this title of criminal justice system. What does that say to you? That the justice is for the criminal. So maybe we either call it an equal system or a just system. If a state has a victim's rights amendment, what happens when someone does not comply with the rules in that amendment? I was told there is nothing I can do if the judicial system did not live up to the victim's right amendment. There was no recourse available to me, and I said it's wonderful to have these words, but if it doesn't have some teeth in the amendment really as victims, what good does it do us? As far as I'm concerned, my major wish in terms of my contribution and memory of my daughter is to continue to fight for the issue of victim rights both in our state constitution and in the Constitution of the United States. All these states have different death penalty criteria. They say life in prison, and they say life is defined as X number of years. Life is defined as 30. Life is defined as 25. Life is defined as 60. And then they don't tell you about the good time. Well, I think when you hit cold blooded, premeditated, unprovoked, vicious murder that's sadistic and ruthless, the federal government should have standards that are uniform to the whole country that apply to every state and not leave the states up to the individuality because they don't want to pay for this stuff. The one other thing that the criminals have a right to do in the state of Maine, I'm sure everyone else, is to serve as pro-state attorneys to represent themselves in the courtroom and to cross-examine victims on the stand. We see that all the time. I think that's outrageous. I mean, talk about the just incredible, incredible victimization. It's hard enough to get up there. It's hard enough to be on the stand. And then to be cross-examined by the person who beat, raped, whatever it you, I just, I don't think that's a right that people should be allowed to have. We were completely revictimized and run over in a court by an attorney who, defense attorney who just, I can't understand why someone would say and do the things he did. It's well documented. That's been as painful, I think, as the event itself, not getting justice. I'll tell you, it was the most insulting feeling when that judge gave him his quote-unquote right to ask me a question when he pulled the trigger three times and there's three shots to my son's head. My daughter Tina was murdered on September 18th of 1985. Her murder remains unsolved. So any of you who 17 years later has an unsolved murder knows how I feel. One of the things I wanted to say very quickly was that I've been involved on a national level with parents of murder children four since 1987. But one of the things that I strongly believe in is the constitutional amendment for victims' rights. Even though I do not have anyone in the system to apply the rights to, my hope is that someday if the case is solved, that there will be rights in place for me, the mother. It's been with us today. I wish you didn't have to do it. I wish we were here under different circumstances because none of us chose to have a tragedy happen in our lives. But now that it has happened, let's see if we can take advantage of that and try and help others who have to follow so that they don't have to suffer the same pain that we've suffered. So thank you. The following is a summary of the key points made during this program. The current state laws in terms of victims' rights are perceived to be ineffectual. A victims' rights amendment is the only avenue for establishing and enforcing uniform rights for crime victims. The overall consensus is that there is a profound need for a constitutional amendment for crime victims. The National Crime Victim Law Institute has undertaken a multi-year national demonstration project to improve the capacity of attorneys to represent crime victims in the enforcement of their right. The project involves the establishment of nine legal clinics for the direct representation of victims in criminal court. A national network of crime victim attorneys. Dissemination of a semi-annual newsletter on victims' rights. And a national training conference for attorneys litigating on behalf of victims. For more information, visit the following website. Crime Victims' Rights Act. President Bush signed the Crime Victims' Rights Act, which provides substantial rights for victims of crime and mechanisms to enforce them. And authorized $155 million in funding over a five-year period for victims' assistance programs at the federal and state levels. In January 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion. The first case under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, upholding the right of crime victims to speak at a convicted criminal's sentencing hearing.
