constitution. Without taking much time, I would request Justice Roshan Dalvi to speak not only from her book, The Bird Eye View, but even otherwise we know her passion for taking issues of the general law perspective. Before we request Justice Roshan Dalvi for a moment, I will just share the book. Those who have missed it, though we will share the link in the YouTube link. This is Woman, Her Trials in the Tramps. This is the insights from which she will give her the further insights. And over to you Justice Roshan Dalvi. And thank you once again Justice S. Trivinder Bhatt for the insightful session. And as usual, it's always a pleasure reading his judgments. But to hear, they say that 2D vision is different and 3D vision is entirely different. And to hear him talking from straight from his heart, it's always a pleasure. Over to you Justice Roshan Dalvi. Even Justice Bhatt, thank you for this overall and exhaustive view of gender in our laws. It was, it was really so nice. I've taken down notes and we are all enriched. What I wanted to tell in this is not about the chapters relating to the historic aspect of gender laws and today's view of how differently we can see several of these aspects. This would be overlapping with Justice Bhatt's erudite lecture. I will take you to the social perspectives. Now what I would want to tell you is that in all societies, in all communities, at all times, there have been people who have not been able to grapple with this view of complete gender equality, treating men and women entirely equally. It just doesn't happen. And therefore, there are so many perspectives that we come across which amaze us. This has happened with me.  The latest of these cases in the Employment Tribunal in the UK last week, the Employment Tribunal has held that bald men being called bald is sexual harassment. The employer called the employer who was going to be dismissed bald because he was bald. And the God helped that this is not an attribute of age. It is an attribute of gender because mostly men are bald. And just as you would not speak about, say, women's organs, you cannot speak about men's baldness. So you see, this is how wide it is. And every time I feel, oh, wow, even this is an aspect of gender. Now, we go back one century. In 1920s, there was this women's rights movement for voting rights in America. And Edgar Hoover, who was the president of the FBI and no less, said that these women are national threat, national security threat. 100 years afterwards, in 2020, when they celebrated the centenary of women's voting rights, they recalled this version. So you see how the American society has moved from 1920 to 2020. Even today, in American society, the gender equality is not completely equal. Times Review, which was held of all the nations, put the Scandinavian countries first, followed by Canada and certain Western European countries. And America comes tend. Why? Because America fell short for paternity leave. Various other countries give maternity as well as paternity leave. America does not. In America, there is what is called paternity bonus and maternity. It is a particular expression. I'll just tell you. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to waste time. So this paternity leave is not granted. And that is one of the attributes of gender equality. Sudha Murthy has said that when she attended some conference on gender in Norway, she found that women in Norway are far, far superior and have a lot of confidence which other women don't have. And she thought that India would be somewhere in the middle when this survey was taken. And she was astounded to find that India was just above Pakistan and below Saudi Arabia and China. You see, we are also surprised. We don't feel it like this. But what we don't realize is that you and me sitting here in this webinar are far above millions in our country. And the country is judged not by our status but by the status of those millions. And therefore, when we work, we have to continue to work on this subject no matter that you and I have equal rights, equal position, equal opportunities and everything it's not so everywhere. So I would like to tell you some very interesting aspects in various countries. Now in India, and I've written about that in both my books because I've got a chapter on gender even in my first book. Surprisingly, we found that there's I donations which are made in ICAMS. And there is cataract operations for women. There are ICAMS and they conduct hundreds of cataract operations. When they did some survey, they found that mostly women take advantage of these. And when they did more research after feeling very happy about it, they found why is it so? It is because a man who has to take care of his mother and father who has to pay for his mother and father or his grandmother and grandfather always chooses his father over his mother to do surgery, which is a paid surgery. So the father has already got his cataract removed, but the mother's cataract is not removed, the grandmother's cataract is not removed until the ICAM comes in that community, society, village, whatever, and then she is sent for a free cataract operation. And when these men were interviewed, they said, yes, my father is retired. He reads newspapers. He sees TV. He talks with his neighbors. He needs his eyes. Mother only cooks. She doesn't need her eyes. Let me give you another example of women who are children, the girl children. Now, we have got in our state schools, municipal schools or government schools, whatever you call that a girl's education is free up to standard 10 and the boy's education is free up to some standard four or whatever. That is because boys are always sent to school and girls are not. So therefore there is this gender balance, as they say, you must balance everything so as to give birth. All right. Now, why is this required? It is required because a girl child is dropped out of school compulsorily and a boy child continues in school. Why does that happen? That happens because she has to go and collect firewood. She has to cook in the house. She becomes a, she comes of puberty age and has to be protected sort of as they say. Girl child is not sent. When there was this nuclear deal, you know, when Manmohan Singh was the president of India and Bill Clinton was on the, Bush was on the other side and we had this new civilian nuclear treaty, people were talking about the environmental hazards. But people who were dealing with gender rights and specially gender rights of these kind of marginalized societies where women and girls are not sent to school or so, they said that if we have this nuclear energy and we can create electrification of various villages which are not yet electrified, girl children will not be sent to collect firewood. It will be an environmental hazard to collect firewood and it will be an environmental kind of, you know, protection if we don't fail so many dreams. The girls will not be molested in the forest when they go to collect fire and they would be taking on electricity and studying. So, you know, these things were not thought of. Let me give you another example. There was a decision, decision in America and the whole world and it took over in 2008. Why was this decision? They were they were researching and investigating. They found that most of the financial consultants were men. There were no women financial consultants and they realized that if the financial consultants were women, they would have wanted to invest in education, in insurance, in savings, etc. But the men didn't do that. And there are two lovely books written by Gillian Tate and Sara Winfield. Women of the street and that street is Wall Street and one is Full's goal, which finds out how foolish you are not to have diversity even in the corporate culture and now they have got in Germany corporate boards which require what we call a quota, but what they call of course on merit that there should be women selected on merit even on the board of all companies. So, this is how history progresses. A very striking example I would give and it might bring a smile to your face. The ACs in all offices are calibrated for the combustion and metabolism level of men. Therefore women always feel very cold in those kind of situations. The tables and chairs also in certain companies are actually sort of you know carpentry wise made for men and when a woman comes and sits they will have to be modified. So much so that the astronauts suits were tailored and measured for men and therefore when women astronauts went into space at one time the space program had to be postponed because their space suits had to be altered because you can't wear bigger suits in this non-gravity kind of atmosphere. It has to fit. These are those perspectives and when we come across you know these perspectives in society what we feel is that this is because no thought is given to what could be gender and when we are going to only study laws relating to gender and only cases relating to gender we are going to have only that focus approach. It is not going to be an open-ended approach and my purpose of writing this book is to see that in everyday life for everyday nuances we consider gender as one important factor. Now let us go to a situation of war. In the war they say in every war women and children disproportionately suffer. There are those ghettos and there are those bunkers which are meant for women children and old men and this was even in the Iraq war.  It was a basement shelter for protection of women children and old men and so many children died in that bombing which was done by America of course in Iraq. Now in Bosnia when there was this war there was one hour relaxation of curfew. In that one hour you have to do whatever that you have to do. The men could finish their work they could get groceries etc and come home but the women could not finish their work outside they have to go to the riverside to wash clothes they have to go and do so many things outside. So the women came together and said no one hour is not enough we want relaxation of curfew for two hours then they demanded three hours then they demanded four hours and ultimately there was one hour of war and four hours of relaxation of curfew. So this is what women can do and for peace they say no peace no women no peace. In countries like Africa when there are this armed conflicts between certain countries and there are those tribals two tribes fighting with one another the women realize what are we fighting for what is going to come to our children. So in one of these kind of conflicts there was a meeting in the presidential palace they went and locked up the palace from outside and they said until you come to a conclusion on peace we will not allow you to come out. And in another instance the women all came together and decided no sex until peace. So everyone decided we will not have sex with our husbands both these countries had peace. There are amazing ways in which women can contribute. Now we come to an all-round thing I have devoted a chapter called around the world and I have shown various instances from around the world A to Z. Let's begin with A in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan women had to go long distances to collect water from the wells. So some NGOs who are working and this was long before the Taliban take over now the NGOs who are working said we will construct some wells so they constructed some tube wells at various places. The women broke them up they wanted to go out because in that society where they were not allowed to go out this was their only outing. In India some of the NGOs wanted to help women to sort of you know have functional literacy. So these women who are working for it they were all women like you and me. They were very well placed in society. They had their time from four o'clock to six o'clock or so which could be free. They were not free in the morning time with their families etc or their careers or whatever and in the evening time they wanted their evenings free. But the women could not come for all those functional literacy courses because they said these are the constraints of women. Under these constraints they come up and stand tall with the men and that is the aspect which must be understood if you are going to give a good judgment if you are going to fight a good case because unless you understand that these perspectives will not come out. In Africa they were doing this kind of a vocational guidance training and they said that it would have been a course of one week but one week only if we had a full day course. Women could not come for that course that course got completed after six months and women got their share of empowerment. In Africa there are some communities where the land belongs to the man but the crops belong to the woman. So when a woman comes and marries in a man's house in a society she will never own the property. But because she owns the crops if the man comes home drunk she can tell the man this is my crop which I have put on the table you will not get to eat. This is what they have done actually. So these are the ways in which they have got empowerment. A very unique way in Kenya is that when a young girl becomes a single mother or becomes a widow and then becomes a single mother or whatever and is not capable of really taking on the world there are many other women who are older women they are from a higher class and they because they are older they are kind of semi-retired or whatever they join these women. It is an asexual union but it is a union where the young girl gets empowerment as well as protection by the old person and the old person gets the company of the young. It's a unique way of starting a family which is asexual. They're not talking about genders but yet two women come together like this in Kosovo when a man dies without a son the daughter can claim to be a son. So she applies to what we would call a panchayat but whatever is their village council and she says I will be the man of the family. She is allowed to be the man of the family she then starts owning property but she cannot only vote in the village council she can even appear in the village council and take part with not vote but she has to lead a chaste life she can thereafter not marry and not have children.  In Pakistan there are many girls who are taken as Chinese brides and especially after this border road which has come up there is a kind of human trafficking between Pakistan and China. The girls are married off mainly from poor Christian families to the Chinese persons and then they find themselves either in the fields to work or actually traffic for sex. You see if you take other examples then in Japan the first paternity leave started in Japan it was called a kument. Japanese society is still under wraps for gender it's not a very open society. The emperor when he takes oath to be the king to be the emperor he his darbar does not have a woman the empress cannot come. Japan now shows that it wants to be gender equal and has made some laws. Last year in the medical college several women who applied and got getting good marks their marks were fudged such that then they will not become doctors. This is another unique way in which you just knew a side gender. In FBI as late as in the last decade they were of course showing that they would employ as their agents men as well as women but in the examination that had to take place the last examination was some very heavy physical exercise and one woman could not cope. The man failed her and then he was heard speaking to his colleagues I have washed out one female this happened in America some years ago it is in the crime files of FBI from where I have taken that. Now let's go to some of the triumphs of women. There is a whole team which has gone to Antarctica a woman's team only women and they have survived and come back. Then after one Indian British woman a Indian born British woman Chandi Kaur she has gone to the South Pole alone and they have made research and said that if you are going to take women as well as men but give them equal training in physical exercises they will be able to withstand any of these physical problems. Last week one police officer has gone to Mount Everest she's a lady she has met me when I went on a Himalayan trek not anywhere close to Mount Everest and she actually looked like a boy and she said that we have to undergo one month's training she was in the flight with me on 2nd of April they had to go in a window between 12 to 15th of May to reach Everest because they can go only on certain days when they find that the weather would be fine etc and they said we have to go one month before because to have this rigorous training it cost some 36 legs out of which of 18 legs go to the Nepalese government by way of our police officer woman has gone this year there was a crew an entirely Indian women crew which has sailed around the world six continents they have done their own work of even overhauling their own boats and repairing them so there is nothing that women cannot do during the COVID also some women's traits which were hitherto unknown came out there is one woman who climbs coconut trees why because she was an engineer her father used to climb coconut trees when enduring COVID she was laid off and did not have any work to do she saw that her father is climbing trees she said why should I not climb and she being an engineer prepared certain equipments good enough for climbing trees easily now she climbs trees and her father does not there is a woman from Orissa who is called the queen of transmission powers she goes up this transmission towers that we know of various phone companies we only know how to hold our phones we don't really care to see that she goes and repairs them when she started people were abusing her now they call her the queen of transmission towers she can repair any of those towers standing herself we know that in Haryana there is a paro system paro wins from far why is this system because they have such a skewed sex ratio because they didn't want any with females and they were there was so much of female fetus site that now they are taking brides from outside especially from Bihar Madhya Pradesh etc they are called paro they are left like that they are brought in as brides but not treated as wives they are treated as servants they live there there is still the veil system that is the goonga that they have now there is one lady Asha Khedar and she entered politics and she also had to pull her goonga when she started but the people in Haryana said that our leader should not bear bear a goonga and told her to remove her veil and she goes now in all places giving lectures as a politician in Madhya Pradesh there is a man who considers reverse dowry as her is custom and this custom is prevalent in some communities where they give some money to the father of the bride so it is not kanya dhan where the father sort of donates his daughter to the husband it is vice versa that the husband gives money to the father to take the bride and this man says I will take only 525 rupees from my father there are there are other sexes in Madhya Pradesh itself where they sell their girls specially for prostitution and some of our NGOs are working to get them out of that trafficking circle so you see these are the two communities in the same state different ones in Haryana we have told you some of the other stories I came to know that there is a story where for the birth of every girl they plant 11 trees the community gives one 10,000 rupees the parents give 11,000 rupees and this is used for the girls education so they have plants as well as girls now these are some of these perspectives that I have put in my book they are gender perspectives there are various gender perceptions these perceptions come up right from the child in the beginning when you say a boy must play with a ball and a girl must play with a doll you are making a mistake it is a gender perspective a girl will choose and the boy will choose but parents need not choose and certainly not of course the state as they chose in the case of one which girl which says but just told us about that you cannot go after 10 o'clock no it is for the girl herself to decide she doesn't want to go it's fine most of the girls won't want to go I wouldn't want to go why would I I want to rest but there may be a girl also my brother will pick me up there may be a club where the girl goes with who will provide transport she may be living very close to some place of work how can then the state or even the parents you know you cannot do this she must decide for her own life so you see these are the perspectives I've given there are two chapters on law and on the lateral thinking of law because there are so many laws gender laws which now require us to think laterally to think differently in feminist criminology there is one such chapter as I told you I've got a whole chapter on war zone and peace and there is another chapter on around the world aside from of course trials and trials I would not like to take you to all of those chapters but if you read my book it's available on amazon it's available it'll be available as an e-book by the end of the month e-book will be of course cheaper thank you if there is anything that you would want to know on these gender perspectives I would answer but I would like to end with one joke which I put in the book a father comes home and tells his son come we will go for a weekend it was a Friday evening and the son he tells the son we'll go to a hotel and the son says papa what is a hotel he's a four-year-old child and the papa says our hotel is a place where they will give us a lovely room they will make our beds they'll give us coffee we will go down and go to the swimming pool we'll have jacuzzi we will play carom we will have food that they will serve us coffee that they will serve us the boy says then why is mama coming along this boy aged four has seen his mama do all this and he finds that nothing great that he goes to the hotel his mama can need not be there if the hotel would be there now if this boy grows up and becomes a lawyer or a judge he's not going to be able to give us judgments as justice but then other judges have given and therefore we must from the beginning inculcate in our children the respect for gender I would say they say I would say beta parao beti vachawa automatic thank you oh nicely you have put it across as they say it's the only the perspective how one can think about it everything as they say what Shakespeare had said nothing is good or bad but your thinking makes it so so it's all the and one of the quote I'd read it out it said that once the mother is well read she also inculcates the entire family so they say that the empowerment is through woman and automatically the entire family and the entire society moves forward before we take to the question and answers you'll request justice Wimla a former judge from Idrar cycle we are too glad that she has joined with us and we all know that how knowledgeable she is and she has taken sessions with us to share her insights because she's already heading the law commission what suggestions are coming forth especially in the gender perspective as justice Roshan Dalvi and justice Esra Vindra Bhatt have already during the session enlightened us how the journey of the gender has gone and as rightly had the topic also comes across the book the tribes and trumps that is the best thing which can be coming forward or do you justice Wimla for your insights from today's session and what has helped changes thank you because after the erudite presentation by honorable justice Bhatt and elite presentation by justice Roshan Dalvi I don't think I can speak up but having requested me to speak I would just make a few bullet points regarding whatever is the scenario in Tamil Nadu especially in India very good presentations on gender justice gender perspectives we are really empowered we feel empowered and there are a few things when Gandhi ji said is he happy with India attaining independence he said I will accept India has achieved this independence only when women barring jewels were able to walk out during night now that we are not able to live inside the house that is the scenario in which we are moving regarding so far as gender is concerned many women feel that it is safe to be in the state that to be at home because the children their children are also getting affected and this is how we are placed now during this pandemic especially the women were in the forefront meaning that by that the nurses were in the forefront doing all kind of services leaving their children at home still the two problem for women was unwanted pregnancies by the husband to the wife even and the second thing is too many child marriages these are the two problems that we have encountered during this pandemic and when we go to family court and we see the mutual consent petitions and my sister had been the family court judge also and the most unjustified compromises the indirect compromise is one thing but the indirect compromise is something else where the women accept that they can retain the husband side can retain season of properties they need not give any share but in fact in the Indian law there is no equity or equality so far as the right to property for a married woman is concerned as far as my knowledge goes is only in India that the law provides for provides us unless otherwise rebutted all properties acquired during and after marriage is deemed to be the property of both the husband and wife and on divorce they are entitled to equal share of partition there's such kind of law is not available the Indian law only provides for division of property that is given at the time of marriage in the section 27 of the Hindu marriage act and no equity or equality in the law providing for property the most uh irritating or maybe say the most hurting scenario in India whenever the any injustice is happening to women women immediately they do not want to fight it out for example after the introduction of the box hope whenever there is an allegation that a particular girl child is put to harassment sexual harassment immediately the elders in the home choose to stop the women from going for education stop the girl from education and they cut off all the benefits instead of fighting the injustice that is happening to the girl child therefore we are afraid even to talk about the good law that is made available in the benefit of these gender you know in a case of recruitment in which I was also a recruitment board the after the final selection just before the announcement of the uh candidates where 60% of the women where the chosen where women immediately know the other two partners sitting along with me if you are telling me the sisters should should be reconsidered it is not advisable to give 60% to the women I was just wondering on marriage they were selected what are you talking about then they then they said not possible should not they were insisting then I said what could be the reason that is emanating from they said no no man if more women are recruited they will be asking for maternity leave they will go on leave the institution will suffer therefore we cannot give 60% to women even though the beneficial laws are there the benefit is not in not reaching women or only because women are still not getting sufficient awareness to fight it out it is time that this kind of book by justice ocean delby and this kind of erudite and scholarly speeches by justice butt and the promotion of this event by because and this kind of activities will promote awareness and they will give some kind of courage for women to fight it out thank you very much thank you ma'am we could never better sum up with that and the way you have actually spoken up like what we say that each one plant one so if each one of us takes an endeavor that we should there should be a gender sensitization I think we will have a society like what you said what Gandhi Gandhiji had rent off and the way the society has evolved we are moving towards the positive developments positive developments of law since we are running short of time only I will take one question which we normally speak what are the subordinate legislations relating to gender and how are they dealt with by the court since both of you have a vast experience I will ask justice Russian Dalvi and then we will ask this is Wimla being in the law commission what are your takes on this particular aspect this subordinate legislations because are very intriguing one I'll give you by way of examples of under the service rules if a man marries for the second time he is dismissed a man was dismissed and the dismissal was up now this is a very gender positive rule similarly there is a rule that if you have three children you cannot get government accommodation now not many people understand this rule actually they feel oh my what about it and there is one matter which goes on with where the other perspective is that the child says that I am not supposed to be blamed how can I help with that I'm the third child yes the child must get all benefits but not the parents and I would call it a gender positive rule because this would show that you are seeing that you can't you don't have to produce a litter a woman goes through all of this and just because you don't have a son you have the third child and the fourth child and the fifth child until you try try and try again is wrong and this kind of a rule which has been upheld by the supreme court is a very good judgment now there are certain things which can be abused also there was a rule that if women are litigants then women litigants will not pay court fees it was in Maharashtra so many men filed a suit as the power of attorney Holger of the wife and then said that we will take instructions of the wife but we will appear in the court and they did not pay court fees then thereafter the rule was amended and this is now only relating to maintenance for the women now this maintenance aspect has been very differently interpreted in Bombay High Court one judge held that when a woman applies for airship certificate to obtain the pension of the pension and other retiree benefits of her husband when she has become a widow he said there need be no court fee paid because this pension and the retiree benefits is meant for her maintenance when she becomes a widow drawing upon that another woman who was very well placed and who became a widow and who wanted to apply for a succession certificate for the demat account of her husband in which he owned shares of numerous companies through the tune of certain crores of duties was not allowed because it was held that this is not for her maintenance it is in addition to her maintenance she can maintain herself so this is how subordinate legislations help there is a rule that for any sale of any property or any lease by all two a woman there will be one percent less stamp duty now this is a very gender positive it is in favor of women and children it sort of will augur for the benefit of women and some women will be able to take up some properties which otherwise would not this is a good gender subordinate legislation there are others also which i have kept in my book i think i can stop your giving you examples now also to jessie wembley what are your takes on this i i ask what justice has spoken and there despite gender positive rules the administrative side also passes certain regulations and certain kind of instructions here in instructions by the our chief minister in terminal is women can travel without paying any fair for the bus we may wonder how it is relating to gender justice because he's supposing a woman comes to the court seeking maintenance she may not have sufficient money for travel if this kind of free travel is allowed then it is helpful for them to attend the court very frequently that as and when it is needed this kind of rules that is it is quite helpful for women but i have seen only people breaking rules so that women should not get anything even if there are rules article 15 especially with reference to article 15 three and the reservation in the horizontal reservation is an attempt by the government the constitutional makers and in the today's narrow also we see so much law coming forth 33 percent rules that is there 33 percent more than 33 percent women get elected as i said no the recently my husband got a brief where the a male person came and he said he wanted anticipatory bail he said why there what is the reason for anticipatory bail he said i want to preside i have to preside this is exactly the sentence i have to preside over this drama sabha that is meaning that it is a really sabha he has to participate the same ground was also put in the bail application and the court was not inclined to and it was discussed during the second time the man was saying the same ground and incidentally he said last time also my wife was finding it very difficult meaning thereby wife is the president and he says in the place of the wife he is ruling that is the meaning of it that is how these rules are more noted for briefs than for observance that is the trouble that is the problem but as they say that if the mindset improves everything changes yes yes i am reminded of that old daughter changes yielding place to new this reservation of 13 33 percent article 15 sub law 3 horizontal reservation for the purposes of ladies are the positive steps which the central government and the state government span India doing and we are all positive on this thought process while we leave for today that we will have a society which will assure for the betterment and tomorrow's friends the session would be challenges for lawyers with the emerging trends that is by regime and law show a former judge from Delhi High Court to stay connected with us at 6 p.m. and after the session i will connect with just as well now for her sessions because they are always sessions which are enriching and thank you just as roshan dalvi i can say that her trials and tramps is a book which i started reading it keeps you embossed throughout when you read it and i'm quite sure that all the participants not only on this and the youtube will buy this book it will be quite helpful to have a different perspective and just as when we are so enamored that you logged in so we always remember you for your sessions but joining in in the sessions shows your passion towards understanding and moving forward and needless to say we are also thankful to just as ester in the but who gave a session which was precise concise and incise it always been definite for him everyone stay safe stay blessed mashkar thank you thank you thank you


for this period of time, just like any new feature when it drops, right? When it rails drops and they say use it fast, when TikTok is new and they say use it so you can grow fast. While the perception still exists, you probably need to deal with them as many people. Increase your connections with other people as much as possible because you're going to get them opens when people see that blue check. I'm still in habit of seeing a blue check and thinking, oh, who is this, right? Not necessarily this has to be somebody important, but it makes me curious who is this DM to me. So you probably got like one to three months to go hard. I care about not being able to have my profile hacked and if it does, I can get it back. Yes, I care in terms of validating my identity. Yes, however, those things I honestly don't care about enough to pay for like I would organic traffic. And I've heard rumblings that organic reaches supposed to return or grow from having a meta-verified profile versus not. Have you experienced seemingly greater organic traffic yet? Good question. I haven't, I don't think I posted enough after it to really gauge that because I think I maybe had like two or three posts since having it. And they did do really well, but my reel is typically pretty good when I haven't posted in a while anyway. So, you know, I was kind of attributing it to that, but it could be not. That's something that I mean, I have a couple of tests that I wanted to do with it that I was telling you yesterday, like I have a list of like 30 people I want to DM to see if like, you know, my responses are higher. You know what I'm saying? I can add this on the test. I can throw in some posts and see if I'm saying something. Because I also thought they would have some type of like separate analytics tab. Like maybe like they gave us, you know, some new insights that we could see since we're paying, but they don't. So I'll have to figure out how to even like gauge that. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, nothing, nothing I can say. I mean, I will say in a couple of messaging instances, it feels like I got some responses back quicker because of it. I've got some followbacks from some people that feels like, you know, probably the sauce right there for this period of time, just like any new feature when it drops, right? When they once rails drops and they say use it fast, when tech talkers know when they say use it so you can grow fast. While the perception still exists, you probably deal them as many people increase your connections with other people as much as possible because you're going to get them opens when people see that blue check. I'm still in habit about seeing a blue checking thing. Oh, well, who is this? Right? This has to be somebody important, but it makes me curious. Who is this DM and me? So you probably got like one to three months to go harder, get your check, start DMing people and maybe look, you cancel the account and six months, right? But DM, the hell out of everybody, maybe even run some ads and use this perception in this moment of time while you got it. Because it is something that actually does increase conversion. Like you said, like, because I remember when Adrian got his a year ago, he was like, yeah, his DM responses went through the roof and even fans like kind of saw him as more important and started to like, I mean, gauge with him more in their DMs. And like, when he sent them a link to go check out his song and stuff like that, they would actually convert higher, all of that. So that perceived importance really is something that can be used in the conspiracy side of it. I don't even know if there's much conspiracy at this point. I think it's just clear, like we all know they're trying to monetize as much as possible. These advertising programs have been fragile, more fragile than they would like it to be, especially when you increase privacy and things like that. China monetize in this way might not have worked before. Now we're so stuck on all of these platforms and once you make it a norm and you actually add in real situations like bots and false identity for the business standpoint, it's honestly nothing. It does make sense to be able to validate like, oh, this is my company. I'm Washington Post. I'm some public figure. I'm a politician. Me paying $120 a year is like a drop in a bucket compared to the rest of my expenses. And they know that too. I think they know that. Yeah, or it's a drop in a bucket compared to what would happen if your account got compromised, you know what I'm saying?    And these aren't like massive people. Like the biggest, I've known someone to get their account with that maybe like 1.2 million followers.  Or being like Nike and getting your Instagram account hacked, you know what I'm saying? Should probably be earth shattering for the time being, you know, so like you said to, and that's what it feels like. That's who they're targeting, right? And there's been a couple things that Meta's done. I think Twitter, Twitter, in my opinion, probably kind of capped it off. But Meta's been doing it, but you can tell they're making features to appeal more so to like businesses and that side of their demographic more so than just the consumer side of the social media platform, right? Which is the point you made earlier, they're trying to maximize revenue, right?  We brought the chronological timeline back.  Then the flip that was created from it that, you know, if you look at it from Meta's perspective, they never had any control over that to your point, right? It was always supposed to be like this, this person is where they study art. The people ran off with the whole cloud thing, you know what I'm saying? They created that perception. Going back to the point I made earlier, paying for verification isn't new. If you are someone that's tried to get verified in the last three, four years, you've been hit with the wall of a publicist, right? Meta wasn't making no money off of that. Every time a publicist collected a 10K, 20K, 30K check for it, they can see a dime about that, right? And they probably know this, you know what I'm saying? And they probably were aware that it was going on, but because it was so fragmented, it was kind of like what could we really do until they had the bright idea to do this, you know what I'm saying? So I try to put myself in their shoes and see it from the lens of like, if I was a Meta exact, you know what I'm saying? Or like if I was, if I was Mark Zuckerberg running Meta, and I'm like, I get it, you know what I'm saying? Like I get it from that angle.  And even that, I still get it because the thing that gets me about the grievances with is that, you know, there were grievances about how hard it was to get it and what it represented, right? Now they've removed that and then their grievances that no longer exist. And it's like, you can't win either way. You weren't going to qualify for it in the old setting. When you wanted it, you do qualify for a new setting and then you don't want it. You know what I'm saying? It's like, it's crazy. It's like, there's no win-win in this situation. So so I, and I feel like they probably thought about it going into it, right? Like, who, who are we going to lose here? Like, what is the lowest common denominator of person we're going to lose? People that wanted it did not qualify for it because the people that already have it don't really care that much because it's not like they lose it. And then the people that do want it within the new system are going to get it. You know what I'm saying? Going about their life and just, and just acclimate to the new system we create. So like I said, who, who get, who hurts in that situation? The people that wanted it don't want to pay for it. You know what I'm saying? Look, and I'll say this, man. This is my last thought on it. Artists, y'all are being exposed right now. I have seen so many artists get blue checks that are not at a level where you have a strong fan base. You couldn't get verified through regular verification. And it's not a shot on whether you should be verified or not. It's a shot at the fact that y'all are paying for this verification and the things that I see that y'all will not pay $5 a month or $9 a month more. That will be more impactful for your career. You don't want to pay for an email system to collect your fans emails. You don't want to pay for an ongoing subscription to some type of education program. All these things that I keep seeing artists not paid for. But to get that little bit of perception, just a little bit of perception, that little fix, social proof. Artists are so addicted to social proof, whether it's I'm going to do bots just so I can get my views up, my streams up, whether I'm going to pay for fake followers or whether I'm going to pay for this verification. I just want to feel like I'm up. Being up is a whole another story. But if I could feel like I'm up, I could work on getting up eventually. It's a weird thing, man. Yeah. And to your point with the perception thing, it's like getting it and not even using it right. It's like, I had a conversation with my barber the other day, really interesting conversation. He's really young dude. He's about to start his own barber shop. And he's telling me like, he's like, yo, I got the notification for meta. He was like, you know, I'm thinking about signing up, but I think I want to wait until I hit 10,000 followers. And I was like, Oh, why you say that? He's like, because I can make it look like I achieved something and that's why I got it. He's like, there's a lot of people around me who still don't really like no, you know what I'm saying? If I like wait until I hit this number, you know what I'm saying? I can at least like make it look like something happened and you know what I'm saying? Maybe wait one or two days and then verify my, I was like, that's smart, bro. You know what I'm saying? That's smart. You know what I'm saying? That's, that was kind of the way to use it in the old system, right? We had clients say things like, yo, I got this album coming out. So look, I'm going to drop this single. I'm going to drop this music video here. I'm going to get this complex feature of this complex, this other complex feature of pitchforking. I'm going to be verified by this Friday and I'm going to drop another video, right? It's all a part of the rollout. That was always to me like the right way to use it if you didn't have it yet, make it look like a celebratory moment. So your point that window of being able to do that is going to die within probably one to three months. So if your artist that has something coming up that's worth celebrating, think about saving it for that. And if your artist that doesn't have anything worth celebrating yet and you look like it from a perception standpoint, think about not getting it yet. You know what I'm saying? Because like you said, like that was what made me suspicious of it was seeing people around me like that that had it and the artists that are doing that. And even I know y'all aren't going to care, y'all are going to do it anyway. Y'all are hurting the quality of the very thing that you're worried about dying off. You know what I'm saying?  You know what I'm saying? So now my barber told me that I was like, that's a genius idea. You know what I'm saying? Like that's beautiful. You know, and like I think it makes sense with them what you got to do. You know, he's at a good pace. He's probably like six or seven thousand now. So he's maybe like another month and a half off from it. You know what I'm saying? From the way he's kind of growing on there. I'm like, everybody gonna be good, man. Just wait, bro. You know, you're doing everything else right. Right. In his case, he's cutting hair. He's getting referrals. He's doing the content. Like, bro, you're gonna be able to go to a point where it makes sense. Ari should be looking at the same way like to your point. If I'm doing everything else right, I'm investing in everything else that makes sense. There's gonna be a point where it makes sense for me to do this. You know what I'm saying? But it might not be now. Quick second. Have you ever seen an artist catch some traction and then they start to move? The numbers start to grow. They might even go viral, but then fast forward a year from now. Somehow their numbers haven't really grown that much. They drop back close to the same monthly listeners they had before the traction and viral moment. Well, that's because you have to know how to convert those moments into careers. And we've done this again and again with not only songs, but artists. And so has J.R. McKee, who's been a part of helping artists like Lil Dirk, Rod Wave, Justin Scott, and Money Long. And we just did a collab where J.R. McKee does a step-by-step breakdown of how he took Money Long from zero to millions of monthly listeners and winning a Grammy over Beyoncé, Mary J. Blize, and Jasmine Sullivan. Check out this breakdown while we still have it up. You can check it out at www.brandmannetwork.com slash Grammy. Don't forget the www or it won't work. Again, that's www.brandmannetwork.com slash Grammy. Back to the video. All right. So for this next topic, Jacory has some answers. They might be early, but his perceptions already changed before he actually got verified and it's completely shifted after he got verified. So Jacory, just go ahead and lay it out for him in terms of your verification because you've got a good amount of followers. You've got a good amount of clout already in the music industry. How has your perception changed in just because of this verification? Yeah, man. So my thoughts only have kind of changed, but I walked through where I was before and where I kind of am now. So before I really got to get into it, I would say I was skeptical like everyone else, right? In terms of what it would do for the perception of the blue check, what it would mean in terms of how regular people looked at accounts with blue checks and things like that. And as I did more research into it, especially when Twitter was doing it, Twitter was kind of the first one to go with it, right? Like, hey, we're doing this to protect you and your identity and all these different things that are kind of coming along with body counts, right? Now, before I signed up for it, I was like, oh, that makes sense, right? I get it. I see the body counts. Me, you have been victims of the fake Corey and Sean accounts before, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, all right, it makes sense. You know, I don't have a master following, but apparently they're hitting everybody, you know what I'm saying? Whoever got an account is worth replicating that going for them. I'm like, that makes sense, right? And the way I understood it at first was that that would still be like guidelines that you have to meet in order to qualify for it, right? The way I read into it was like, oh, you must still meet XYZ qualifications to be able to get it. So I'm still thinking like, hey, this isn't something that can get overly saturated, you know what I'm saying? Because they have these regulations in place. I don't mind paying because, you know, back in people have been historically paying for the blue check anyway. So I was like, hey, what's the difference between me paying Twitter $15 a month and me paying the public's AK to get me verified? You know what I'm saying? In my head, it's just nothing. So I rationalize it that way before signing to go for it. Like Sean said, I've been signed up for Twitter Blue for probably like, whenever it came out, it's like two, three months ago at this point. And I signed up for Instagram meta verification like two and a half weeks ago. So I'll say this, what I like about it is that on both ends of it, there's additional support, right? Instagram has this separate support chat you can go through, which is, I don't know if you've ever tried to reach out to any type of Facebook and Instagram support before, but it's terrible, you know what I'm saying?  And they got back to me pretty quickly, probably within like almost a day, like $15, $20 or something like that, right? They gave me a generic FAQ link, but I did ask a basic guy's question. So I get it, but they got back to me, you know what I'm saying? Which to me is huge because I've been on the other side of that where it's just crickets. So the support thing is cool. There's not like extra analytics or anything, but the support thing is kind of what I rationalize. I can get to them. They have like a thing for if your account gets hacked, right? You can go through them and they'll help you get it back. A lot of really cool things that come with it. But what I also learned in the process is that there aren't any real benchmarks to meet to pay for it, right? And what made me realize this is I'm selling some of this is before we shot the pie episode the other day, I was just in like the shade, room, comments or something.  I'm like, oh, who's this person? I clicked it because they were verified and I clicked on it. It was like a regular account. She had maybe like 400 followers. It was following like seven, eight thousand people. She got it. I'm like, all right, that's not fair. Followers are an accurate representation of influence and what you've done, right? So, maybe she's just one of those non-social media savvy industry people. It happens, I've seen them. But then I start really paying attention to the blue check marks that will pop up in my stories and the people watching my things and just who I know this over time was getting it first red flag for me outside of the girl. There's another girl I know personally that has it. I know her personally, you know what I'm saying? She has it. And then I just started looking at some of the people in my stories, like I said, and there was a couple followers that like I've just I've just I've been watching them follow me for the past couple years, like talk to themselves. I know where they are and things like, you know, based on what they're doing, like, you know, and the qualifications I thought have to be met like they shouldn't have it. So that's when I started to look more into it. And I realized what they're doing with the check mark where they're moving away from is right, this display of clout, I guess is a good time for a display of influence in a particular field. And now what is more so representing is this person is who they say they are. Yeah. And so looking at who got it, I'm like, Oh, these are all real people. These are their real accounts. They're just not maybe influential in what they do. But they're all real, right? So all the blue check mark now is a signifier of, Hey, this person is who they say are this is a real person. They are whoever they're trying to tell you they are through this account. And that's fair, right? Yeah. In terms because I was supposed to be the original purpose and Facebook has been very good about keeping like fake accounts away. But these other platforms haven't necessarily like Facebook has been that to like an annoyance, whereas like, bro, I can't create a business ad account without attaching it to my personal profile of shine. Like that. In that part doesn't even make sense to me. But yeah, you know, when the internet gets the way the internet has gotten, I could understand how there's value to having it back that way. But like you said, there's someone you know personally. So you know the lack of the cloud that exists, right? So that's going to change that perception completely of what it means to have that right over time. It's not quite there yet. It's still relatively new and fresh and people have that habit of seeing a blue check and reacting a little bit to it. Oh, who's this? Let me see what it is. But after enough times of seeing who it is and it being know the body quote unquote, right? Then you eventually just say, okay, blue check is just somebody who's paying for verification because I also got somebody that I asked a relative of my you'll say which relative because I don't know what does it seem on a platform like call them a nobody but they know what I mean, right? And I ask, are you aware of this meta verification thing, right? That people can pay to be verified on meta? And the person said yes. Like, ah, okay, that's already an X, right? When you have the normal people be aware that this thing can be done, that that tarnishes brand because of anything, we're not really trying to impact each other that much. Yeah, you want the cloud within your industry, whatever that looks like other professionals. But if it's a secret to all professionals, but the normal people don't know, then you still get the impact because most times we're trying to influence people outside of our industry more than people directly, right? So, okay, dang. She knows. Second, this person was also asked to join the meta. So, it's the same thing, right? They all got that prompt. Everybody got that prompt to pay to join meta. And if everybody can be somebody, then everybody's nobody, right? I feel like it's going to change. They're trying to make and sell out how you all are technically somebody, you know what I'm saying? Like, which is why we're giving it to you.  So, you are somebody, but not somebody in that way. And that's interesting because that was my point to like another artist that I wasn't wrong about. I was like, yeah, man, you know, like, regular consumers aren't even keeping up with this. So, they won't even know an end.  You know what I'm saying? They sent the prompt out.  They did one of those about it. You know what I'm saying? It was like a whole little rollout for us. I was like, oh, not everybody knows. Never mind. Because they're trying to maximize revenue.  No, we just want as many people to pay for this thing as possible. Period. Period. So, I get it. I get it. But again, that will tarnish over time the current perception of what it is and there's going to have to be something new that creates perception, maybe followers and engagement start to matter more from perception standpoint. I don't know where it's going to transfer. Do you have any theories on what that's going to look like? And it might be different on every single platform, but do you have any thoughts on what that might look like? No, I don't, to be honest. I was just talking to an artist homie about that and I was like, yeah, I can't even imagine what that would be because the blue check mark has been that for with like what the last like five, six years or something like that. So, and even that was something I didn't really see coming. You know, that was kind of groundbreaking for his time, whoever kind of came up with that idea. Well, what I think they might do, what I think they might do is probably start rolling out more like high level perks over time. And then I think that, you know, the same way you can have a free Spotify account, but when that ad comes on, while you're in the car, you feel a little bit ashamed. So, you know, you should be paying for the premium Spotify account. I feel like they're going to do some things and make Instagram feel the same way, right? So where like the plot was in the fact that you have the disposable income to continue paying for this thing every month and getting whatever comes with that. Like that's the problem that we're giving you, you know, because that's the only thing I can see. Like the other than that, let's say they came up with some other like visual cue, but then they would just be starting the whole cycle over again, you know. Yeah, amen. So it's going to be an interesting thing to watch. Like I know some people don't like the fact that there's no difference between the old school verification and new school. Like now you can, you can't even tell the difference anymore. I know Twitter made that update recently, but these platforms don't have any incentives to keep that separate. They don't, right? So they're being soft about it, probably as possible right now, but I would charge those old folks. If I was them, like I wouldn't say, oh yeah, you had a check before. So now you don't have to pay for the new like system because you've been grandfathered in, they might treat it like that, but they have all the ability in the world to just force everybody to pay, even the people who were verified for free back in the day. Because that's what's their incentive. They never cared about, like you said, the social perception thing in the first place. That was never why they did it at all. Tech companies aren't thinking like that.  They weren't overthinking the like button and followers to that extent in the beginning. It was just something that they built. And now of course, like, you know, they just, they don't think about marketing and PR. Like, you know what I mean? It's the consumers who always flip it to the marketing PR and the businesses that always flip it to the marketing PR. They're just saying, how can we keep people on this thing and make it as addictive as possible? That's all they care about. I mean, even to the point of not looking to say, I kind of like it because I think like, because I kind of like the deep valuing of it, you know what I'm saying? Because like I said, it's going to force the whole platform to think of a new way to systematize influence on it, right? Like I said, because like, we probably stopped trusting followers a long time ago. I haven't really trusted followers since like 2019, 2020, maybe, you know, right, then the blue check mark is going to your point might have to just be engagement and quality of community or something like that, right? Or maybe all these other different features that Instagram is rolling out like subscriptions and, you know, now you can send people gifts through their reels and maybe those maybe monetary achievement of being a new social status on there, right?   This influencer got 10,000 followers, but he made 100,000. Right. Maybe that's just kind of me thinking out loud, but I kind of like it, man, because I got into a debate with just another music industry homie about it. And I was like, yeah, but you pay 20 Banfield check mark, mine was $15, $30. I'm in two months. You know what I'm saying? Right now, we in the same position. We in the same place, but you get here on a 30K playing ticket. I got on a $30 playing ticket, man. You roll the spirit, and we have the same resort, you know what I'm saying? Children, you know what I'm saying? At the same open bar, you know what I'm saying? On the same beach. I'd be mad if I was on that side. Well, this is going to be something to follow and see how these platforms continue to evolve in this conversation, but put your comments down. If y'all have any additional questions or commentary that you would like to add from your personal experience getting verified or use something you would just like to hear us kind of confirm or use some of our connections to get y'all more info on. But that's it. Just another snippet from no labels necessary. Peace.


In this video, we will provide the solution to question number nine from the practice exam number three for math 2270 for which we're given a linear transformation, let T be a map from R2 to R3 given by the formula T of x1 x2 is x1 plus 4x2 for the first coordinate, 2x1 plus 5x2 for the second coordinate, and 3x1 plus 6x2 for the third coordinate. We're given a basis for R2B, which is given as the vectors 1 and 2, and then also 3 negative 1. We're given a basis for R3, a non-standard basis of which we get 1, 2, 3, 1, 0, negative 1, and 0, negative 1, 2. And then we're asked to compute the matrix representation of the linear transformation C, T, B. So we're going to represent the domain using B coordinates and we're going to represent the co-domain using C coordinates. Now this is not the standard matrix representation. This is the matrix representation with respect to C and B coordinates here. So recall that the formula that we need to do here, let's call this matrix A that we're trying to compute right here. So A is going to be given by the formula, which we're going to compute the image of B1 within, we put it inside of C coordinates. We're then going to take the image of B2 and put that also into C coordinates. And now if basis B was bigger, where of course B here is the basis for the domain. If we had more, we could keep on going here, but that's going to be sufficient for this one right here. So we need to find the C coordinates for T of B1 and T of B2, which what are those vectors? Let's stick B1 and B2 into the transformation. So you'll notice if we take the vector B1, which is 1 and 2, we plug it into the formula, we're going to get 1 plus 8, which is 9. That's the first one there. And then we're going to stick in for the next one, we're going to get 2 plus 10, which is 12. And then for the third coordinate, we're going to get 3 plus 12, which is 15. So we need to find this vector in C coordinates. And then for the next one, we're going to stick in B2, for which we're going to get 3 minus 4, which is negative 1. Then we'll stick this 3 negative 1 to the second corner, we're going to get 6 minus 5, which is 1. And then for the last one, we're going to stick it in, we're going to get 9 minus 6, which is 3. So this right here, we need to put this into C coordinates, like so. For which in order to then compute these, to find these coordinate vectors, what we're going to do is we're going to take the matrix, which we take C, augment these vectors we just found a moment ago. So we're going to take 1, 2, 3, 1, 0, negative 1, 0, negative 1, 2, augment that with 9, 12 and 15, and then negative 1, 1 and 3, like so. So we didn't need to now re-reduce this matrix, for which this is a short response question, if you use your calculator to re-reduce it that would be perfectly acceptable. I'm just going to do the details right here, just to show you everything that goes on, although these steps are not necessary for the calculation. For which I want to get pivots below the 1 there in the first column. So we're going to take row 2 minus 2 times row 1, and we're going to take row 3 minus 3 times row 1.  For the third row, we're going to get a minus 3, minus 3, 0, we're going to get minus 27, and then we're going to get plus 3. For which then the next matrix in consideration here, we're going to get 1, 0, 0, that's the first column. Then the second column, well I'm just going to write down the rows here, we get 1, 0, bring that down, 9, negative 1. So then for the second row, you get 2 minus 2, which is 0. You get 0 minus 2, which is going to be a negative 2, negative 1 there. You're going to get 12 minus 18, which is a negative 6, and then 1 plus 2, which is a 3. For the third row, we got 0, negative 4, 2. We're going to get 15 minus 27, which that's going to give us, what do we get there? We're going to get negative 12, and then lastly, we get 3 plus 3, which is 6. That's the first step, moving our pivot position now to the second row there. I want to get rid of the negative 4 below, so I'm going to take row 3. We're just going to subtract from it 2 times row 2, so we get a positive 4, positive 2 right there. We're then going to get a positive 12, and then lastly, we're going to get a negative 6, like so. For which then you can see what happens with that row. So leaving the first row alone, 1, 1, 0, 9, and negative 1. Leaving the second row alone, we get 0, negative 2, negative 1, negative 6 and 3. Then the third row you see turns all into 0s, except for the 3, 3 position for which we then get 2 plus 2, which is 4. We're going to get negative 12 plus 12, which is 0, and 6 minus 6, which is 0 as well. Now when you look at that last row, there's no concern going on there whatsoever, the fact that you have a 4 and a bunch of 0s everywhere else. This would be saying something like 4x3 equals 0. There is a solution to that equation. It's not a contradiction. Just be x equals 3 is 0 there. No big deal. The next thing I want to do is I would then take the third row, excuse me, and I'm going to scale it by 1 fourth. So we're going to replace that with a 1, and then we can get rid of the number above it pretty easily because you have these 0s everywhere. It's not going to affect anything. So we're going to take row 2, add to it row 3. This is going to give us a 0 right there. It won't affect anything else. That's why I'm doing all these raw operations at once. Then the next thing to do is you move your pivot position back to the negative 2 right there, for which then we need to divide everything by negative 2. So we're going to get negative 1 half row 2, for which again, that would then replace that with a positive 1. We're going to get here a positive 3, and then this number right here becomes a negative 3 halves. And then lastly, to get rid of the 1 that's above it, we're going to take row 1, subtract from a row 2, for which case that'll go to 0. We didn't change anything. There we get 0. You get 9 minus 3, which is going to be 6. And then this last one is the one that's going to give us a little bit of concern because of the fractions, right? This right here needs to become negative 1 plus 3 halves. So that's just a 1 half, nothing too complicated there, but still, you know, fractions sometimes confuse us. In which case then our matrix, when we write it in this RREF, we end up with 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1. So the basis should have reduced to be the identity matrix. Now the numbers we really care about, we're going to get 6, 1 half, 3, negative 3 halves, and then 0, 0. In which case then our final answer is going to be this matrix right here. This matrix is our matrix A. You do need to indicate that this is the matrix. If you just stop with this augmented matrix, then you won't get full credit because you haven't indicated that what the answer is to the question. You should not leave it up to the inference of the grader. You need to specify yourself. In which case then we record down this change of basis matrix, which was 6, 1 half, 3, negative 3 halves, 0 and 0. This is not the change of basis matrix. Excuse me. This is the matrix representation using both B and C coordinates for this linear transformation.


I could Josh, I could Josh We sometimes call him Weezer Or else we can tell Starting off in Guelph, Ontario today Meandering our way towards Apsley, Ontario You haven't found me on social media yet Go down below to the description and add me on Facebook and Twitter You can also find me on Periscope, Trucker Josh 456 Saw one word where we can hang out in real time We're going to my trailer here in Guelph To Scotia and two drops on the island And I'm guessing I'll probably be reloading in New Brunswick I don't know though, that's just a guess I'm just assuming because that's what I usually do But you know, you start making mistakes when you start assuming So I just won't assume anything But if I were to assume I would assume that I'd be reloading in New Brunswick But we'll see Oh sir, to our destination Our first destination Where we will unload one piece From there we will go 400 miles To our next destination Where we will unload tomorrow morning Delivery's done tomorrow, I'd go back

kilometers I believe Yeah So we better get going Got a ways to go All right we're going to stop at Special Canada for some time We're all going to miss the entrance this time This is where I periscope For the first time My very first periscope From this parking lot It was wonderful Another periscope Who knows What's this truck doing You are not parking right there man Come on it says no stopping Standing Or parking I'm giving him a little honk Come on buddy You're blocking the entire driveway Perfectly good parking Right back here Right here Look at this This is wonderful So why would you park right in the middle of the driveway I don't understand Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Tim Tim Tim Tim Tim Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Want a Timbit Oh yeah I can't be dank family Timbits Diesel you ready for some Timbits that's apple juice people apple juice we discussed this yesterday i know all of you keep thinking yeah it's disgusting it's a page yet no it's not it's apple juice sorry i'm gonna take that out of the frame so that that doesn't show up anymore so you guys stop getting confused anyway so do you guys want to do some periscoping i'm gonna quickly periscope everybody i'm gonna show you how this app works so i go onto my phone here and i click on periscope app and i want to start broadcasting so i press this little red thing there and i'm gonna type in a name i'm gonna say tim bits let's see if we can do this tim bits timid tim bits exclamation point you see that see now i'm gonna say start broadcast and boom all of their phones everyone who's following me are now dinging and you'll see in the number here people joining we got one in here four seven eight ten fourteen i'm gonna flip this around so they can see what we're doing here oh yeah you guys are all in the vlog look at you see and as you tap the screen it gives hearts and whatnot who's talking to me here what's going on hi hi hello boom yay hello world sweet hello josh you see these are all people who are following me on periscope commenting and i can read your comments in real time and you can see me in real time see they're watching actually you're watching me vlog you right now see how this goes look at all these people from virginia from england shelly just watching the vlog well now you're in the vlog how does that make you feel you're in the vlog 54 people in here right now 53 oh we lost one i wasn't cool enough for one person it's okay north carolina see and you can leave little comments like that and as you tap the screen it gives me hearts again yeah cool that you've been in Nova Scotia through my vlogs look at that sunset hey look at that don't mind the bugs we're here at flying jay fueling up see that right there bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon ham suddenly very hungry for a nice chunk of ham she was thirsty quarter tanks she's pretty thirsty these tanks hold well it says right on the tank right here 568 liters on both sides so over 1100 liters all together 150 us gallons so 300 us gallons all together they usually last about two days two full days i don't like running at that logo so i usually fuel up every day for today we ran it down pretty low so it can take a little 590 liters 713 canadian dollars it's at a dollar 20.9 a liter giggity that's 156 us gallons and four dollars 50 cents per us gallon average 6.8 miles per us gallon since our last fuel up did you wake up this morning and think to yourself today i'm gonna be in the shower room with trucker josh we're in the shower room yeah but that there's a shower right there i wasn't wanting to shower in here and there's that weird guy in the mirror again copying everything i do isn't this annoying when people copy everything you do yeah that bathroom in here and stuff the paper in here about this in every single fine day shower very nice very very very nice comes with towels and if you fuel up more than 50 gallons you get a free shower i don't know what that is in liters so i played a bit of a prank on a guy walking in i was walking in with my shower bag with this bag whatnot pulling it behind me and whatnot sort of looks like a boat of the airport or something but i'm walking into the truck stop looks at me looks at my bag looks at me looks at my bag it's back amazing are you gonna shower and him his sign but instead i said yep it's that time of month it gave me the weirdest look he's like he just walked away we made it we made it you want to know where we made it to do you right here no the answer you were expecting right fine i'll show you more hey yes i know this canada flag is flying backwards the maple leaf is supposed to be it's supposed to be the other way but the stick doesn't work that way symmetry came before that at this point because i had to fly this one here first of all because it's out of my view when i'm driving it's not blocking anything there it's pretty much in line with that uh post so it doesn't block anything and uh that american flag there see so that when here symmetrical see but i know the canada flag is backwards america's doing right though but i had to put canada on the left because the driver is canadian and wouldn't mind being dual citizen with america but in order to get dual citizenship you have to follow the law so one day maybe one day it's a long process and it's thanks for watching me today guys uh watching me watch for watching the vlog watching the road whatever i put on the vlog today don't forget to follow me on the periscope if you guys know what that is if you don't uh just google periscope it's an app i believe you can get on your computer as well i have it on my android phone it does work on iphones as well you can uh get live chats from me throughout the day i don't know if i'll do it every day i still can't figure out how much data it uses i'm guessing it's probably pricey on the data but uh maybe it's not because i haven't really been seeing my data go up at all yet but once i know i will let you know and i think it's that much probably just like watching a youtube video same thing same thing but my i'm gonna try to keep the periscopes to like 10 minutes or under but lately my periscope's been going up to like 30 to 50 minutes i'm gonna keep them shorter than that but anyways you guys got the vlogs to watch right you don't need to see me another hour during the day it is a live chat though and you can type and uh pretty much it's like a youtube video where you leave your comments down below the youtube video right here except there your comments get seen by me instantly and i can instantly respond to them in the video it's like an instant live vlog it's called periscope periscope like a scope on a gun scope i don't know why i said that we're here at the Irving exit 145 east of Montreal Montreal Quebec Montreal Quebec Montreal Quebec i'll see you tomorrow guys don't forget to go down below to the description click all the links you feel like it past vlogs of mine whatever you guys want to do there have fun have at it watch some more trucker josh and look forward to that music video that'll be coming out in the next couple of months it won't be right away i'm actually gonna put some time and effort into it and i got a film different say it's not like a vlog it's like an actual video so you know it's going to take a while to film the different clips and put it together with that song so we'll see you soon
