I'm Stephen Launs with Investor Intel and today I'm joined by Stephen Berega, who is the CEO and president of Romeo's Gold. And Stephen, welcome. Thank you very much, Stephen. It's good to see you. It's great to see you again, too. So, you have a portfolio of projects. You have projects in Nevada. You have some exciting projects in British Columbia. And today we're going to talk a little bit about your tech projects. Perfect. Tell me more. Okay. So, as you mentioned, we have a portfolio of assets. We also have assets in Ontario, Northwestern Ontario as well. So the tech asset in particular is something that I've been very keen on talking about because it's got a size that is getting some big attention. It's the type of asset that the majors would look for as a key target. And location-wise, we couldn't ask for anything better. So we're right along the southern boundary of Galore Creek. For those who don't know what Galore Creek is, it's a massive proposed copper mine co-owned by Tech and Newmont. It's run by a management company called GCMC. And their road intersects the tech claims. So we have actually quite a big land package in British Columbia. It's about 400 square kilometres, a little bit more than that now. And the trek has been an asset that we've been working on for many years. But we're all of exactly 1.3 kilometres away from their proposed road. And in the Golden Triangle, infrastructure is everything, as you know. So their proposed mill site is about 12 kilometres down the road. And we're very excited by this IP target that we shot last summer. It's about approximately 800 metres long. And just below surface, it expands out to about 500 metres. And it shoots down, well the IP shows it at 650 metres. And the MT line that we shot actually shows it going down about 2 kilometres. So it's a great big target for drill.  What else have you done on it? We've not drilled it on purpose. We're waiting for the right partner to do so. But the surface expression of this thing was a very big, epidote field that was over a kilometre long, overprinted by a stock works, 800 metres of stock works. So that's a great indicator of what you'd typically want to see in a porphyritic system at surface. Marry that with an overlay of magnetics, excuse me. And you start to see that all these layers of information start to stack up and show that this IP target is quite substantial and quite real. So we have done surface work, IP work to answer your question. And next is we're drill ready, so we're targeted and looking forward to finding the right partner to move it forward this summer. And obviously it'll depend on the partner, but a modest program, a big program or whatever your partner is prepared to do. Exactly. I think we could go as big as needed. But as you know, porphyry systems are quite significant and expensive to explore. I think the first pass would probably be somewhere around 3,000 or 4,000 metres. Maybe 6 to 8 holes would cover that off and would probably be somewhere around a $3-4 million work commitment to get that, to accomplish that type of a program to start with. And you clearly at this point don't know what kind of depth you're looking at, but how close to surface? Well, in fact it does come to surface and it's in a sort of a TP formation that does come up to exposure at surface and then at 200 metres it expands out to that 500 metre level. So it's exactly what you'd want to see as far as a great juicy target would look like. So it's exciting times. And you have some big boys in the neighbourhood? Of course. With GCMC we're in the shadow of the giant of Galore Creek. The neighbourhood at the Golden Triangle is definitely a hot topic for every major right now. It's certainly a good address. That's right. And I think the majors are moving down the food chain in a way that I've never seen, actually. In my 16-year career, this is the first time that every phone call I've made has been taken and they're not usually answering, we'll call you, don't call us again. This time they're saying, no, okay great, let's sit down and let's have a chat. So it's exciting times. The majors' inventories are drying up. That's right. It's getting harder and harder to find things, certainly hard to find things that show at surface anymore. And like you said, with infrastructure running right through it, I imagine you can be popular. Well I hope so. It would be nice to be the bell of the ball once. We talked about some other projects, you have some other projects in Nevada. That's right. Any updates on them? Well we're going to be certainly working in Nevada at some point during the 2023 season. Nevada, in my opinion, will become a focus for aromials. We acquired an early stage asset called Kincaid. We've done some basic ground truthing so far and every single target we've identified of a former working pit, trench. It's showing high copper grab samples either running with high grade gold or high grade silver. It's very exciting. It appears to be an epithermal system but it's early days yet so we'll definitely be doing some work there. It's on the southern half of the Kincaid property. On the northern half we're tracking big scarring structures. So Kincaid will be very active probably starting April-May timeframe and then we also have a second asset. So forgive me, Kincaid is found in the Walker Lane District which is in southwestern Nevada. In northwestern Nevada we have an asset which is a former producing mine. And that mine is called SCOSA. Average grade that came out of it was over an ounce per ton. Back in the 30s into the early 40s and they only ever mined down 400 feet. We think that there's a very high possibility of that mineralization continuing well beyond. They basically mined down to the water table and then they had to stop. They didn't have the technology to move on so we're excited. Nevada presents a huge potential for us and of course we'll certainly keep these conversations going on the BC assets, on the Trek asset and we'll look forward to telling your audience all about it as it comes forward. I look forward to having you back and maybe you'll have some news about Trek when we talk next. Perfect, I look forward to it. Thanks for coming in. Thanks so much Stephen. Great to see you. Take care.


Okay, in this lecture we've spent quite a bit of time talking about stream functions and potential functions and what we're now going to do is just kind of review and bring some perspective to all of this. So to begin with, for the stream function we said the value was psi. So when we looked at the stream function psi we used continuity to derive it and we showed that it actually satisfies continuity. We also found that the stream function was always parallel to the velocity, the velocity vector. We said that it was valid only for 2D flow and the last thing we did is we looked at the change from one stream function or stream function value to the next one and we said that was equal to the volumetric flow rate between those two stream lines. So that was the stream function and the stream line. We also looked at velocity potential and that was phi. So when we look at the velocity potential we found that that existed only for irrotational flow, irrotational flow being del cross v equals zero. We found that it was valid in three dimensions. We also showed that it was perpendicular to the stream function and the way that we determined the velocity potential we got that from an analytic relationship of u and v and the same technique as we used for solving for the stream function. So those are the stream functions, stream lines and velocity potential. Now what do we do with these? Well, let's just go on here. So if it turns out that our flow is incompressible and inviscid that is what we would call an ideal flow. And this is an area that was studied many, many years ago and it was studied because it was simplified. There were simplifications that occurred and the mathematicians and scientists could study fluid flow in ways that when you have viscosity and it makes it much more complex. And so looking at these two, if we have incompressible and irrotational, we know through continuity that the incompressible comes out as being the following, del dot v is equal to zero. And if our flow is irrotational, we know that del cross v is equal to zero. And through a vector identity, we could then express the velocity field in terms of the scalar potential function. So what we're going to do, we're going to combine those two together. And so what we can then write is del dot v, that's through continuity, is del dot and I'm going to put in here the grad phi of our potential function. When you do that, you get del squared phi and that has to be equal to zero through continuity. Now this equation, del squared phi, is one that has been studied quite often in mathematical physics and is a very, very well known equation and that is Laplace's equation. And the significance of this, I'll expand out the Laplace equation in three dimensions. Oops, sorry, I was thinking three and that's where the three came out, I apologize, that should be squared. So that is the Laplace equation. It is a partial differential equation. So del squared phi equals zero. It is a linear partial differential equation. And what is important about that is that you can superimpose solutions. The Navier-Stokes is a nonlinear partial differential equation, so you cannot do that with a Navier-Stokes. But given that the Laplace equation is linear, you can superimpose solutions. And so this equation, Laplace's equation forms the basis of an area called potential flow theory. And sometimes it's also called ideal aerodynamics. But it was studied quite extensively and you can do a lot of things with it. But what you can do, there are different solutions to Laplace's equation, such as a source flow where you have fluid coming out. You can have sink flows where you have fluid coming in and we can mathematically come up with a potential function for all of these. There is vortex flows where you have vorticity or circulation in the fluid. There are doublets, which is a source and a sink sitting right next to each other. And you get all these very interesting patterns that come out. And we also have freestreams, so we can have a freestream like that. So by themselves, that would be a source. This is a sink. That's a vortex. That is a doublet. And this last one here is a freestream. Now it might not look all that exciting just by looking at these. But through Laplace's equation, you can combine all of these together and so you can start to construct flow fields. For example, you could construct the flow over a cylinder with circulation. And so you'll see there will be a stagnation point here and here and then you'll get all the streamlines coming around, actually goofing this up because it has to be symmetric. It cannot be anti-symmetric. But anyways, you get this type of thing and you can calculate a lot of very sophisticated flow fields using very simple math. You can even solve for the flow over an airfoil. They did these transformations that they would go from a flat plate and they would look at the flow over a flat plate and you'd have streamlines doing something like this and there would be a stagnation point there. But they would transform from what they call the circle plane where you would have the same sort of flow field. And by going through a Jukowski transformation or different transformations, they could go between the circle plane and the physical plane. And anyways, that was done in ideal aerodynamics. I'm sure you can look it up and find information on it. It has also led to things such as paneling codes. And paneling codes are numerical methods that enable you to compute the pressure distribution about bodies. So you can have an airfoil like that.  Each of the panels has different singularities on it, a source is saying you can have vortex panels. But with that, you can then model the flow field. So provided that you do not have separated flow, that you do not have large, you're not modeling what's happening in the boundary layer, but you're modeling what they call potential flow. And so you get all of those things. It cannot be rotational flow and consequently you're neglecting viscosity here, but it's pretty good provided you don't have separated flow. So anyways, that's kind of a little bit of a rant about where you can go with this. We're not going to do any more with it in this course just because this could be a course onto itself and you could spend a lot of time looking at these things. But I just wanted you to realize that we've been looking at stream functions and velocity potential. And for new students and fluid mechanics, it can kind of be a little bit on the confusing side. You're wondering why are we even doing this? This is where it goes, but it takes a little bit of time to get there. So that's where we will conclude for differential analysis of fluids.

I'm so honored to have been selected for the Graduate Student Leadership and Academic Excellence Award to be chosen by a panel of members representing the four colleges. It's really humbling. And I honestly owe all of this definitely to my small family back home, but to my bigger family in AS. So thank you so much. Hello everyone. I'm Mohammad Naari, a lab instructor at the Computer Science and Engineering Department of AS. I recently graduated with a master's degree and a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from AS. Here are my graduate studies at AS. My research interest has sparked because I was introduced to many modern day problems and I was taught how to implement the research methodologies in order to conduct beneficial research for the community. When in the Graduate Student Excellence Award for Research was really the cherry on top because it highlights the work that I've done in my graduate studies. This helps push my limits further in order to conduct more beneficial research for the society. Thank you.


start. We're excited to see everybody here. It's wonderful. First, I'd like to thank our panelists who are along from English for creative writing. Some of them have double majors in other fields as well, and they'll be talking to you about the exciting things they're doing out in the career world and how what they did at Roger Wales prepare them to do that and give you maybe some tips and things you might want to think about doing as well while you're here to help prepare you for future careers. And we're going to try to wrap this up about quarter of so we know some of you have five classes or five of classes you have to get to, but last year we heard from students that they weren't sure what to do after this session ended and they were out there in the scary employer world. There are certain people who come from various jobs to talk to you informally.  That'll be the last thing we do before five o'clock. So if you aren't sure how to informally network, we'll give you some tips on that. And I'd also like to introduce Tori Bedossian. Tori is the English department's fit intern and this event would not have happened without her. She's been working tirelessly behind the scenes, emailing all of you. So she's a good person to know.  But we also have additional resources who have generously volunteered to be around if you have questions. So their names are here. Not all of them could be at this session. Some of them are, but if you're looking for them because something that they are doing is interesting to you and you want to find them and there's a lot of people out there, just come to see me or Professor Soto or Tori Bedossian and we can see, we can stalk these people and help you find them. So then after the session our panelists will also try to stay centrally located sort of in the hallway in general. Some of them might want to go mingle with employers as well. But they'll mingle and come back to the hallway and mingle. So that's where you can kind of find people after this session ends. All right, any questions? Sorry, I talked quickly. Okay, great. Well then I'll turn it over to, we'll just start here on the end with Beth Eyre and HLs. We'll try and speak just for a few moments so that you know if you want to talk to them further afterwards.  This is your time to walk behind the panelists to get to the front seat. There you go. I'm very quiet. I'm Beth Eyre. I graduated in 2005. I was an English major and creative writing minor and since then a series of things. So for one thing, I got an after that. I spent a year in the American Wall River. Right after that, I was a web editor for the American Mathematical Society, which is headquartered in Providence. You didn't know of the largest math society in the world. So though I'm not a mathematician, I spent some time in their world editing their website and trying to help them have well written content that can represent their society. This past April, I left the AMS and started working for Bay State Health, which is a health system in Western Massachusetts. So I'm a digital content strategist and editor there. So I work on writing and editing web content, all sorts of projects related to the website. I just launched a new website this summer and social media and it was like that since then. My name is Alexandra Artinano. I graduated in 2012 for the English major and visual arts minor. Right after graduation, I went to Emerson College and I taught a master of arts and publishing. While I was there, I was an editorial assistant at Ploughshare and Telleray Magazine. I filled out for about two years and that job was a lot of answering emails, but also editing and working. It was a small literary journal, like most are. So I wore a bunch of different hats there. And then I got the job that I'm in now, which is that Adams Media, which is the lifestyle of book publisher, and I'm a production design assistant. So I'm actually designing book covers and doing their catalog and doing all the air marketing design. But yeah, I'd be happy to answer any questions about grad school search and working in publishing and things like that. Hi, I'm Sam Meekoyle. I graduated 2014 of the English Literature Degree. Right after school, I was like in an internship, like, actually, I got a hybrid with Aftai software, the employers here actually Melissa Baker. So that is a small company in Warren. So I lived in Bristol for about a year after school. So I never actually left campus. And so that was I was a technical editor there. I was also on a tech support. So I do a lot of stuff with, like, I wrote a lot of emails, I helped customers, you know, I did a lot of testing, firmware and software, I did a lot of writing documentation as well. In June, I left for a health care company that now it's called several communications. Primarily, my company works with a health care, you know, human health, etc. to do member engagement. So if you guys are members and you guys need blue shots, we would write programs or communications for you as a health care entity to talk to your members. So right now I am the junior technical writer at the company. And I'm the only technical writer at the company. So I'm doing a lot of interesting type of writing in that they have no documentation at all. I'm writing all of it now. So it's cool. It's very, very interesting. Thank you. I'm Ali Wynanski. It says alumni, but I'll actually be graduating in December. I'm an intern at Aptec, but Stephanie was just talking about. She sort of Helped you. Yeah, sort of gave away some of the information I was going to talk about. But this actually it started last year at the career panel, at this career panel last year, they sent me and I found out from Melissa as well about externship over the winter, which was a I went to Aptec for three days and worked with Melissa and she just she showed us the documentation that they have and we worked on trying to figure out how the machines that they have their work and worked on, you know, rewriting the documentation. So it was it was a fun three days there. I went with three other people. And it was pretty low stress. Actually, I was there. And after that, I found out that they were having an extern, an internship. So I went for the internship and I started in April. Stephanie did a lot of training while I was there. And then when Stephanie left, I sort of had to step up and take on some of her responsibilities to respond. And then when school started, they asked me to stay. So I'm still there. English lit degree. And I jumped around a lot in the job market. Before I left RWA, I was an intern at Hasbro as a copywriter. I mostly worked with the girls toys and my little pony. After I graduated, I just kind of floated around retail. And then I found a job at Boston Heart Diagnostics, which is a lab. And we needed reimbursement there. So I worked with finance, which was my deal. And I did get into writing for our website and our internal employee website, which I did a lot of articles for. And then after a year, I moved to the company on that now called By Brands. It's a lifestyle beverage. So we're very much like vitamin water, which we're currently selling. And for a five calorie drink. So I wear a lot of hats at this job. I'm an official title as an administrative coordinator for the marketing and creative teams. But I also assist the executives and their day to day tasks. I approved everything before it was out. And I run the website and our flavor line of shirts. And we are looking for interns for the summer and graphic design. Hi, my name is Laura Wind. I was a class of 2008 English major. I minored in French. And during my time here, I actually thought I was going to do a very different career path than the one I ended up in. And that was I was going to teach English. I was very sure of that from freshman year onward. And I was so sure of it that when I graduated, I went and got my master's at University of Rhode Island in English as well. And during that time, I got the opportunity to do a lot of adjunct professor gigs in English as well as women studies. And it was during that time that I got my first publishing job, because as you may know, adjunct professors don't get paid very much. So if you want to pay the bills, you really got to add on other jobs. So I got a job as a proofreader for Pearson education while I was working on my master's thesis. And I fell in love with it. I actually really enjoyed publishing. And meanwhile, I realized I actually wasn't that fond of teaching at least in a stage of my life. So I kind of took a major life change moment. It was a very hard year because I really thought I was going to be a professor and then suddenly I wasn't. So I got off the PhD track and I put myself fully into publishing. And I went to a networking event for book builders of Boston. And through that, I actually found someone at my organization who asked me, what is it you want to do in publishing? I was like, well, I would really like to move to project management. Because I really like organizing all of the balls that are flying around and getting everyone on the same page. And due to that networking event, she said, well, there's actually an opening. Let me put you in touch with this person. And within one week, I had my first promotion, which was as the project manager for the DRD digitally rendered document department at Pearson. I worked at there for a while and then I decided to move over to McMillan where I am now. And my first role there was custom media editor. And that was working directly with universities to customize the products that we were already providing for the universities, so that they were based specifically on their pedagogies and so forth. During that time, we started going through a major change at McMillan. And I was at Bedford St. Martin's, which was the Humanities imprint. And there was another one also McMillan called Freeman and Worth that was the Sciences imprint. Like why are we doing things so differently between these two? So those got folded up into the same umbrella. They were always McMillan, but decided to work together. So I got my current role, which is the editorial program director, which means I work directly with the sciences and the humanities and work out how you can streamline processes between those formerly very different groups. And publishing, you'll hear a lot is a very tumultuous industry. It changes so fast and fast that my name tag is already out of date. We are called McMillan Learning Now, the press release went out like three days ago. So McMillan education is no longer even relevant. So it's a very quickly changing industry. And if you're someone who really likes a job that changes quite frequently, and they really keep up with what the needs are, then it might be a good fit for you as well. Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I graduated in 2011. My major was creative writing. My minor was anthropology and I had a core concentration in graphic design. When I was a senior at Roger Williams, I went to the career fair. And that's where I got my internship. It was at a small company in Warwick, Rhode Island. It was called Islamic Results. And what they did was help insurance agencies market to their clients. And so what I did, I was a copywriter, a CO content writer. It was a good experience. I was there for about two years, and then I decided I wanted something different. And so I looked for other jobs. And that's where I am now, which is currently American Program Bureau. We are leading speakers below in the country. We've been in business for 50 years. And what we do is we create events for universities, hospitals, corporations, conferences, and we bring them speakers who are authors, celebrities, Nobel laureates, all different kinds of people. And what I do there is I'm a social media coordinator. And so I started there as a copywriter. And as I gained more skills from my internship that I did, but also with my creativity, which I gained from majoring in creative writing, I used that to kind of create my own job within the company, which they never had, which was media coordinator. And I still am using my writing skills by creating posts online. But I manage about 15 accounts that we have. And I have interns that I manage as well. So we're looking for interns for the summer, if you're interested. Hi, everybody. My name is Phil Deavitt, and I am a 2009 grad. And I'm the rare bird in the room who was an English minor in a communications journalism major. But it's true, I sometimes forget that. Now that it's been a few years, I sometimes think, Oh, yeah, I was an English major. I definitely definitely an English major, because I feel like I just took so many classes. And that's that's really my, my love. I'm the managing editor of Hathaway Publishing, which is a group of weekly newspapers and their websites, surveying nine communities in southeastern Massachusetts. And I'm editor of one of those papers called The Chronicle, which serves the sleepy little towns of Dartmouth and Westport, Massachusetts. You know, okay. Hey, Westport right there. Okay. And so I've been in journalism in one way or another. For about 10 years, actually got my first job freelancing because of work I did here on campus with the news outlets that we have the student newspaper and the radio station got me in the door of a daily newspaper. And that was sort of the first step in in my my career. And it's not uncommon to see English and creative writing majors in the cubicles alongside me in the newsroom. That's not an uncommon leap at all. I've worked with quite a few. So in journalism, as they'll probably tell you in another room these days, it's about throwing everything up against the wall. So it's about writing. It's about editing photography, but also about layout and design, your digital presence, social media, video, audio, social media, all that stuff. And while that's certainly true for me and my colleagues, I think it all comes down to the writing at the end of the day, because it's the foundation. You can tell a story in a clear, compelling, entertaining, interesting way. It really doesn't matter what the platform is, as much as I appreciate the long form story. And so I would just say prior to my current role, I got to do that, the kind of writing that I love, which is feature writing for five years with a specialty feature publication in Fall River Mass. Just sort of, you know, writing about everyday people, human interests and social issues and personality profiles. So it's journalism, but it's not necessarily the straight news, just the fact stuff. You get to exercise that creative writing muscle a little bit in a real world way. So I love that.  So happy to be here and happy to answer questions and listen to everybody else too. That was a great overview. I realized I forgot to introduce myself. For those of you who don't know me, I am Margaret Case, Professor Case, and I'm in the Department of English and Creative Writing. So I'm a chair if you have questions, you can come to me. But I was, and this is kind of a segue from what you last said. Do you, what kinds of things did you take advantage of while you were here? What advice would you give students who are still in courses? Advantage courses they might try to take that they might not necessarily think about, that you've found helpful. So I see that each of the panelists can maybe think about what, what should they be taking advantage of, a bunch of you have mentioned internships, maybe talk about those, anything that you think would be helpful for them to do, or maybe things that you wish you had done while you were here. That would probably be really useful as well. Should I? Yeah, let's get it. Okay. Is that not something else to talk about? Well, like I said, you know, knowing that I wanted to get into journalism, I wanted my writing to be published. I said, okay, well, the most obvious avenue would be well, for me at the time it was the newspaper. And of course, you have another sterling outlet in Mount Hope here, which I'm looking forward to reading today. So if journalism isn't necessarily your thing, you know, going up to people with notebooks and asking them questions, you're more of a creative writing person. I mean, there's, there's an outlet right there. I think it's all about just doing it, just doing it and getting published. And I would say even if there was no outlet, pretend there is an outlet and do it might be considered a crazy person, you know, producing a newspaper that doesn't really exist technically, but you're doing it. And I think there's something to be said for that. I remember being anxious in school.  So I found that that helped. And as far as internships go, for me, it was the internships were in communications at a TV station in Cranston and a radio station in Providence. Didn't know walking in the door if I'd be able to, you know, if I was going to be, you know, not not getting coffee for people, but are you going to be in the back room sort of organizing stuff? You're going to get to do some good, good stuff. I get to write. And, you know, right off the bat felt a lot more comfortable, you know, because it was a real world application of something I had previously only done for my own entertainment. So, so that definitely helped. But I would say definitely internships. And also what I would say is the class that really helped me kind of find my leadership skills and things like that was Roger. I don't know if they still offer that anymore, but it was a way for me to step up. I was the assistant poetry editor.  I think that really helped also with teamwork and team building skills. Because when you're in the real world, when you're working, whether it's, you know, with an internship or, you know, you find your first job, you're going to work with many different personalities. And I think some people find it difficult to work with different people, you know, whether it's your manager, you know, your peer, I think it's all about kind of finding that balance and also finding something you're passionate about. I think if you don't do something that you're really, that really inspires you, you know, whether it's writing, whether it's journalism communications, whatever, I think you're, and I, from experience, I know you'll be unhappy. And it's what people say to you, it's not all about the money. I mean, in a way it is, but still. But you're not going to be dedicated to your work unless you're passionate about it. So I think trying different internships, you don't really have to like put yourself in, you know, such a like a focused area, really don't be afraid to branch out, you know, I know, I've majored in creative writing, I never thought I'd be in marketing, but I love it. And so I think it's really all about finding something you're passionate about. So we actually have really similar things that we did when we were in college, because I was also on Roger with Renee Soto, which was an incredible experience and was a huge one for my resume, because I had experience in publishing from everything from editorial production. So experience doesn't start once you graduate and you have your first job, you're already getting your experience, you're already getting material for your resume. And that was a great example of that. I was also on our student literary magazine at the time. And also something called Ezra, an online journal of translation, which is a website developed with Kater Thompson. He's still working here. Yes. And then Ezra is still up and running and there may be people in the room who work with Ezra. And Roger is the same as CW 330 literary publishing, which is now running not hope. So just to kind of close that gap. And I would say in terms of getting involved, it doesn't have to be an opening. If there's something you're really interested in doing and it doesn't exist, create it. There are no rules at all. For example, there was no student literary magazine when I came to Roger Williams. So we created a student literary magazine. Me and two of my best friends got together, filled out the paperwork, resented it to the student senate. Our second year running, we got the program of the year, which I was extremely honored to receive. And it was an incredible experience. That was not something I could go through here at the available clubs. And there was one, there wasn't one. So we had to create it. Ezra was something else that didn't exist. We had to sit down and build the website. I knew nothing about web design whatsoever. But you just create it. And you're not an expert. And you just have to trial and error and kind of guess at it until you do something and producing something is far better than doing nothing. And I would say that also extends beyond just within the within the university and clubs. There are no rules. If there's not an internship available at a company that you're dying to be involved with, call them anyways. Say I would like an informational interview. I've never heard of someone getting turned down for an informational interview before. And that's not something that's publicly advertised. So just say there's a dream person. I really look up to them. Will you just talk with me for 20 minutes about what it is you do. And Then if there is an opening, they already know your name. You're going to seem much more impressive to them as someone who already reached out and expressed interest. And even if there isn't an opening, they might even create one for you. It happens. Sometimes they're so incredibly impressed that they're like, you know, we need you on this team. You didn't have an opening. But now we do. So there, the gist of all of that is just that there are no rules and you can create what you want to create. Going off that, definitely try as many things as possible, especially if you don't know what you want to do. I know it's probably one of the biggest and hardest decisions to figure out what you're going to do after you graduate. Clearly, an example of that, I did know I jumped around a lot. And I love that I did that because I got to try out different things and figure out what I didn't like and honed in on finding what I wanted to do. And there are jobs that, yeah, I worked at a lab, but they also gave me opportunities to work marketing teams so that really opened up the doors for me to figure out what I wanted to do. And then I would also say do a lot of volunteer work, a lot of companies put a lot of emphasis on that right now. And they are more likely to look over your resume if it's, you can show that you're willing to work for a degree, even if you're going to be paid. But they would like to see that you're willing to do that better. I was really excited to hear about the externship or something similar. That would be a job shadow because you just get to go to the company for a few days, which is a lot less stressful than signing up for an internship where you're committed to it for a certain length of time.  As far as the internship, I create a writing major and this job requires that you have knowledge about IP addresses and networks. And these are words that I couldn't even necessarily define when I started working there, which was scary. But the great thing about having a background in writing is that all companies need people that know how to write. And so it'd be a lot easier for them to hire someone that already knows how to write and teach them something about IP addresses than to hire someone who knows about computers but doesn't know how to write. So that's definitely an advantage that we have. I want to mention another thing I did was I was here a couple of years ago. And so I've done an internship with the Marketing Communications Department at Roger Williams University, which was a convenient internship because it's right on campus. So commuting is not an issue. And what I did with them is I got to go to events and write articles for a PDQ, which goes out and for the alumni magazine. That was cool because it was just adding a new type of writing that I learned how to do. There's like a journalistic type of writing. And again, as an internship, it was great because it's not necessarily something I want to do for the rest of my life. But I got to learn that by doing the internship. Another thing, working at ABTAC right now, my passion is not IP addresses. But I got to learn that this company is really, it's a small company, has really great people. And I just really love the atmosphere there. And so that's something to stay for, even if it's not something that you think you're interested in, just getting in the door and you might find something else that makes you want to stay there. Right on top of that point, just like in addition to doing the internship and stuff. For instance, I don't think that I want to stay in the technical writing field forever. But I found a good, it was just sort of a segue from a graduation. Like why I started my internship at ABTAC. And it seemed like a very logical path to go down.  But of course, not everyone can do that. Not everyone can make money. Not everyone can do that as their own job. So it's like, OK, well, I can do that on the side. But being in technical writing field, I've been healthier now. But previously with ABTAC, the sort of engineering software is you find that you can apply things from these jobs, like literally everywhere. So I mean, like, I'm going to stay in the technical writing field because it's very lucrative. You know, I have a lot of self-definition and I don't really want to boundary the brand of my company. So I can do a lot of really interesting work. And it's for myself. But I know that I can pull down from other areas. So don't be discouraged if you end up in a field that you don't necessarily know if you want to be in because it can still teach you a lot of things. And that isn't to say that I'm unhappy. I'm just not being my passionate dream job, you know. And so it's OK to take time to figure out what you want to do with your career. And I think my career is going very well for me. But like, you know, passion wise, creativity wise, personally, like, I don't know what I want to do yet, you know. So it's it's OK to have sort of this career is going well, but you don't know if you want that necessarily. I feel like I'm not in the circumstance right now. But just, you know, it's find out what you're good at, even if it's not what you want to be doing sort of thing, you know. So these are your good fields to go into. And they're going to help you sort of know where you go on to. So internships, definitely. And keep finding out what you want to do and get closer and closer to that. You know, I guess the first thing I want to say is that you just have to create whatever version of that is for you. You just have to do that. One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was well, it was advice in the form of kind of a negative statement. It was someone telling me that I should be embarrassed of what I did in six months, something that I created. And that comes off really horribly at first. But if you really think about it, you should be embarrassed of something that you've done in the past in the sense that you've grown, you've gotten better, you realize what you could have done better. And knowing that in hindsight, you're not going to be as great as you are in the present allows you to kind of get over that fear of doing something bad. Because of course, you're going to get better. Of course, you're not perfect right now. What you just have to create and put yourself out there. As far as what I did at Roger Williams, I was an opinions editor for the newspaper. And that was really interesting because I wasn't a journalism student, but I wasn't really in like the journalism part of the newspaper. I was in the opinions part. And that was nice because I got experience managing people. I got experience working kind of like a work environment. And I kind of counted that as an internship for me because somehow I was able to go through all these steps and never do an internship. But a lot of my peers have. And I would say like my advice for internships is there's kind of two ways you can go. You can either go do an internship at a name place that's really easily recognizable. And that'll be a great little check mark on your resume. Or you can do an internship at somewhere small, kind of unknown. And that's where you'll get to wear a bunch of different hats and get tons of experience that might not be that company line that'll be recognizable to everyone. But it'll be all those points underneath that line that'll actually be applicable to the jobs that you want. But yeah, just create. To add to what everyone has already said, I would agree with Inter to say been out there in a few different positions so far. I have so much confidence in the English major. And it's, I think, beyond what you would see as directly applicable skills because we're not only writers, we're also readers. And I see it all the time when I'm working with people on projects and when I'm in different tough work situations, things like that. Bringing the analytical and critical mindset is a huge strength in that group because it's very obvious when you're out there. And also, as an English major, one of the things I think about, actually, in Professor Degundt's class, we read William Prokner's, it's just one example, but I'm sure a lot of us have appreciation for nonlinear narratives. I think it is a way to approach your life after college. Think about staying open to opportunity and realizing that your plans aren't going to happen in the way that you expect them. If any of you do need to leave, this may be a good time to seek out. But I was thinking it might be nice to have just a nice question session if you have questions for all the panelists or for specific panelists. Probably, if you have a question, somebody wants to too. So great if you have a couple of those, go ahead and share now. And then in about five hours, we'll switch to a quick, what do I do when I get out into the informal networking atmosphere? So questions, anyone? I wanted to ask stuff, how you ended up in that job if they didn't have any technical writers with the situation where you just approached them and just kind of created that job for yourself, like they were saying? So actually, I got, I had started to sort of send out my resume to different places, but I actually had a network connection there. I had previously worked at a health company in Miami called the Tugger Health, and that's as I have a new family down there. So I worked here three summers as an intern. Someone I knew there, knew that this technical writing was a healthcare company that I was actually looking for a technical writer. So they told me to look there, that they would contact the people on charge. So I sort of like, they helped me get sort of like a shoot in the door, but they said like in, so I applied to the position. So they were looking for a technical writer, but there had never been that position before. And just also too, the qualifications they were looking for on the job position were just not what I am at all. But I gave them my resume, I practiced the hell out of my interview answers, and I think that I really impressed them with my interview and I fit really well with the company culture. So they really liked me and I know that they were liking the work that I'm doing so far. So like they were talking with like five years in the field already with the degree in computer science. That's not me, that's not me at all. But so I had wonderful experience working at Aptec with computers, software code, hardware, firmware, that sort of thing. So I had that experience. I had already been in the healthcare industry. So I knew all those ins and outs. So, and I have been writing forever, obviously as an English major. And I worked all four years in the writing center as well. So just, it was a nice cocktail of experience that they weren't asking for, but they realized they liked. So I think that answers your question. Yeah, okay, yeah, thank you. My question was for Beth. In you not being a math person, how challenging was it for you to go to that math person? What did you do to adjust and prepare for that? It was hard in the sense of being in this world altogether and not being familiar with it. So I was going to math conferences with research mathematicians and helping also people within your organization with their information on the website and trying to, luckily I wasn't writing too much about the actual math that they were doing, but trying to accurately portray the world that they live in or sound like it's actually in the voice of the math society and things like that. It's hard, but I don't think at the end of the day that it's that different from anywhere else. Anywhere you go, you need to try to figure out that particular culture and where they're coming from and who their audience is and so on. And so I'm actually think that it was pretty great learning experience, just getting completely outside of what I've been there from having an appreciation for the fact that I don't know very much about research math, but also knowing that you're bringing in a very specific set of skills as well and that you're there to help. That story of my own experience, that I worked for seven years at a university in Ohio as a professor and then my partner got a job here. So we had to make that terrible decision where you do when you have to leave a tenure position. So I came here and I got to put into practice what I always told my English majors and the skills for creating writing majors as well. You must have skills that everybody wants. So I thought, great, now I get to put that into practice because I didn't have a job. So I ended up working at Brown in the Center for Regenerative Medicine and the people that I work with were mostly orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic researchers. I knew nothing about any of that. So it's kind of like that's experience working with math which I also know nothing about. But I instead of housing them actually write their research proposals because I knew how to communicate information to a general public. I could tell them, no, if you want a general brochure that's going out, you can't use the word condo genesis. Nobody knows what that means. And I know that because I don't know what it means. So I just have to, I'm so glad you said that because it's really true that as an English major you can go out, you're kind of like an international translator. You can go out and you can put yourself in a new situation and you can learn and read and what you said about talking to people there and researching what they're studying. It's actually fascinating. And I think that kind of connects to what a lot of you are saying that you get to learn on the job and then apply your skills to what you're learning. I know we're going a little over time but I actually would love to add something to that. And I know there's a lot of rah, rah, like there's a lot of wonderful things about being an English major including the fact that you have the critical thinking skills that you can bring in and apply. And those are fabulous. But I do want to just present one reality and that is that there is no such thing as a degree whether it's English or medicine, whether it's in science and humanities and so forth. There is no such thing as a degree that will fully prepare you for any career path or for any job. And that's just a world. And it's not something that's not just only for English majors or anything like that. It is across the board. And so just knowing that the end of your college career is not the end of your learning that you need to be a lifelong learner and that if you get into a position where you are missing some skill, it is, you can't blame your degree for not having given you that skill. You can't ask your employer, like you didn't give me the training for this skill. It is personal responsibility to know I need this skill and I know that I have to go get it. And that can either be going and taking an additional class or it could just be going to YouTube. There's a lot of wonderful things on YouTube. Sometimes I have to use a software. I'm like, I have no idea how to use that. So I spend a couple of hours watching those videos. And whenever things like that come up, it is your responsibility to find those gaps and fill them so that you are the right fit for roles and your degree just isn't going to do that alone. It's wonderful as it is in your toolbox and your resume, it's not gonna cut it solely. I would actually like before you go out there to meet the employers and talk with our panelists. I would like the guest panelists who are here, the auxiliary panelists, just to stand so that we can see you, Corey and Brian and Ash. This is Ash Lago and Brian Tabars and Corey Alex. Not Ash Lago. Not Ash Lago. I'm sorry, Ash Allen, Gina. She's great. I can't. Ash Lago will be here. I've got two Ashes in my head. And Ash Lago will be here as well as Nicole Foti. And they're available to you as well in terms of what happens when you get out of here in terms of job searches or graduate school or just surviving and doing it with a smile. So they're available to you. I also would like to make sure that you all recognize. I know that a few people on the panel and that Ash for sure and Brian know are wonderful and beloved Professor Diane Kudisky is back for this. I would like you to stand and just be recognized as someone to love and to go. And then you're going to go out there and there are all kinds of people that you did your homework, went online and you looked to see the names of the companies you're thinking about. And I want to target just in terms of getting a little bit of information and introducing yourself. Remember there are two kinds of interviews, right? This is not a transactional interview which is a term I learned, you're not exchanging resumes. You may exchange a card and make it a note from them. But Laura I was wondering since you talked about the information gathering interview sort of thing our students won't have 12 minutes, 15, 20 minutes with everybody but can you give them some tips? Am I just helping them know how to approach these strangers? I would encourage each of you to challenge yourselves to go and meet and talk to one person out there that you don't know and practice this. That's your challenge. Laura thank you. Yeah, network is terrifying for everyone involved. It's going into a cocktail party and not knowing anyone and then having to go and find something to talk about and present yourself in a quick pitch. So just know that it is terrifying. Networking does mean talking to someone and so you can challenge yourself to attend as many networking events as you can get your hands on. I mean you're already here tonight so you're doing fantastic. That's such an important part of getting into the workforce. But if you challenge yourself just to talk to one person for each networking event you go to and make sure you exchange cards with them and that is a really good just go to goal. If you talk to two or three then that's even better and that's fantastic.  Networking never stops. Even when you have a job don't stop networking because you never know like changes really quickly the more connections you have the better and the last thing is never say oh that doesn't relate directly to the job I'm specifically looking for right now. Toss the card or that's not a work well contact. You're building a network slowly and it's a process and it's a lifelong experience but that network grows and then you never know how they might connect later to really help you in something like I had no idea I was going to be doing X but suddenly you have in your LinkedIn network like oh I know so much of your works there. I actually have an example of that. Recently I had a colleague who decided that she wanted to leave publishing and she really wanted to get into education and to top it off she was moving to North Carolina so she was like what do I do? So all I did was do a search in my LinkedIn and I was like who do I know in North Carolina who's in education and through that set up an informational interview when she has a job starting there in a month. That's just someone I randomly met never knew it would ever result in anything but because I kept that connection it helped someone eventually. So as soon as you meet someone I know I'm talking a lot now talk to them, exchange cards and even if they don't directly relate to what you're looking for keep it in your back pocket. All right, thank you all. Thank you everyone. About skills snaps, future employers. Head out.


In honor of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, the Big Sandy Council on Elder Maltreatment hosted a walk for a cause on the campus of Big Sandy Community and Technical College in Prestonsburg. Over 80 people joined together to raise awareness about elder abuse. Along with the walk, informational vendors were set up and prepared to educate participants on elder abuse. If we educate our community what the signs are, they're more likely to go out in the community looking at their neighbors, their friends, their families and intercede on behalf of that individual. Organizers add that most elder abuse goes unreported. In Kentucky, we are a mandatory reporting state, so you are obligated under Kentucky law to report abuse and vector exploitation if you suspect. We have one in 23 reported, so for every one person that is abused, there are 23 out there that we don't know anything about. Most abuse is traced to exploitation and most would say is from those who are closest to the victim. We are losing billions and billions of dollars to exploitation and unfortunately it's family, friends, trusted individuals that have taken an interest in an elderly person. To report elder abuse, call the number on your screen. Reporting in Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.


So, hi everyone, my name is Mira. I am an outreach intern with Fedora and I'm a part of the design team. Marie Norden, the Fcake is my mentor. So this talk is going to be about designing Fedora badges in Inkscape and I'm going to start with a demo where I design a badge and she has some things that I've picked up in the last five months. So this talk is for anyone who is interested in design contributing to the badges team or learning about Inkscape. I will also be conducting a hands-on badges design workshop in about four hours. So if after this talk you would like to test drive your learnings, do join me for the workshop. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the chat box. I don't think there is a notification but I will keep on checking it periodically. Okay, so let's start. Hi Shradha. Hi everyone. I'm just going to share my screen. And for a moment I think, yep, there we go. So you can double click here to maximize this video so that this area is in focus. Okay, so what we're going to do today for the focus of this demo, we are going to design an events badge. So with specifically designing a badge that all of you will get, we're going to design the nest with Fedora attendee badge. The first thing you do is we'll set up the environment and collect all the resources we need. Right. So the first thing you do when you're making a batch is you download the template. And this is the badges website and you can go here and look at all the previous badges. So I'm going to talk more about this website in my workshop later. So if you're interested to join me there. I'm just going to visit the badge index. Okay, so here you can see the different types of badges. And today we're going to do an event patch. So I'm going to scroll down to the event category. I'm going to download a template from here. So I'm going to use an existing batch and modify the artwork so that we can use it for the batch. And I would suggest using a badge that is pretty new so that you know the design is up to date and there's a higher chance you will find the SVG. So, let's see. I'm going to use this, the Ohio Linux 2019 since this is 2019 is pretty recent. I'm going to use this one also if you want this. I think this, this one was made in the past two or three months. So this is also pretty easy to use this one. And if you click on the badge, so this will open the batch details. And if you go to the ticket, you can download the SVGs from here. I will do this in detail in the workshop. So right now I'm just, I have it here. So I've already downloaded it. And after you open the SVG, this is Inkscape. I've opened it in Inkscape for those of you who don't know. And this is what it looks like when it's open. Okay, I'm going to check if there are any messages. Hi, everyone. Okay. Great. So, so the first thing we do when we're designing a batch is we'll set up a pallet. So if you have, if you have not set up a Fedora pallet, this is not what you're going to see by default. By default, this is the pallet you're going to see. So if you're going to be designing badges, it's important that you set up the pallet. It's easier for you that way. And it ensures that all the badges that are made have a consistent style. So what we're going to do is we're going to set up the pallet. So I'm just going to go to this URL. This is the docs project. So the docs for the badges project. So you will find all the resources you need right here. If you don't have Inkscape, you can install Inkscape. Here are the links. So right now we're going to download the pallets. Right. So if you click on this, this is the basic color pallet, which is the requirement. So this is the GPL file. You'll see a bunch of hex codes here and these are the RGB values. So to download this, so this is a GIMP pallet file. So to download this, just right click, save link as. And so okay, so we have to save. So this is now a GPL file. So we have to save this in a specific folder. And this is the folder. So this is for Windows. You can find the folder. You can find this pallet, Inkscape pallets in your users.  For other OSes, you can look it up. It's very easy. You can just search and you can find where you have to save your GPL files. So I've already saved all these pallets. And after you do that, just restart Inkscape if it's already open. And you will see the option here and you can change it here. Okay. So we have now set up the pallet. So this next step is to import graphics. So we are going to design the nest with Fedora identity. So of course we're going to use the nest logo. So I'm going to import the SVG here. We import or control I. And I'm going to download the nest logo. I'm going to import it. I've already downloaded it. You can find it in the design repo and the ticket. So all you can just ask anyone in the design team. They will guide you to it if you're looking for specific logos or not work. So there we go. So now we have set up our environment successfully. And now we can start with designing the patch. I'm just going to check quickly if there are any questions. So the next thing that we're going to do is we are going to use this to fit here. So I'm going to get rid of the background. Since this is an SVG file, you can easily edit it. So all you have to do is you have to ungroup. So this is a collection of objects, which are grouped together. So I'm just going to ungroup this. We can also use the shortcut control or shift three. Sometimes you have to do it to two to three times depending on how many times it's grouped. So as you can see, we now have all of these objects individually. We can select them. Put that back there and we do this and we have removed the background. So you can delete it at this point. We are going to use this later. So I'm just going to keep this here. It doesn't matter because this is the page like this area right here. This is our canvas. So anything that is not on the canvas will not interfere with the file png. If you export it correctly, that is. I'm just going to group it again. So a tip to quickly select a lot of objects is to drag and select. And anything that is within this bounding box right here will be selected. So let's see if I do it only this, even though it's touching the cloud, it didn't select it. So anything that is completely inside the bounding box will be selected. So you might not think this is a pretty big deal. But when you have a lot of objects, this comes in really handy. Because sometimes there are a lot of objects placed close by. So all you have to do is make sure that it's not in the enclosing box. So I'm going to group it and we are good to go. So now I'm going to resize it so that it fits here. And the thing is when you're resizing objects, make sure that you lock the aspect ratio right here. Because if you don't, this is what's going to happen. So we do not want to squish this little word. We do not want to squeeze it, especially with logos. You have to be careful to not basically deform them in any way. And even general artwork doesn't look good when it's squished or squeezed. So just click this lock icon and there you go. So I'm just going to resize it. That's pretty good. Yeah. So the next step is, oh, okay. So these are my notes. I need them here so that I don't have to switch back and forth. I'm just going to drag this off the canvas. You can delete it. You might use it later. So, yeah. Now the thing is, I want to put this logo in the center of the badge. So I can either eyeball it, which is not going to be accurate at all. Or I can maybe use grids. So I can set up grids and try to measure it. But again, that is not going to be very accurate. Thankfully we have a pretty good tool here, which is called the Align and Distribute tool. So the shortcut is Shift, Control, and A. And you have a bunch of different options here. So as you can see, you can select the context here where you want to, how you want to basically align the object. So you have a couple of different options. You can align it to the page, to the last selected object, the biggest object. And after that, you have a lot of different options. So you can align the vertical centers, the horizontal centers, the top edges, the bottom edges. So this is going to make your job really simple and easy. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to select this object, then I'm going to select this shape right here. This is the center of the badge. I'm going to select this and I'm going to align the horizontal and the vertical axis there before. Okay, so this object right here, this represents the center of the badge. Some of you might ask why we did not center it to the page. And the thing is, the center of the page is not the same as the center of the badge. Because if you look carefully, there is a slight shadow here on the bottom. So what it does is it raises the center of the badge, a couple of pixels above the center of the page. And it's a very small difference, but it's enough to make a difference, right? So I'm going to undo it. So make sure that if you're aligning objects, align it either to this shape, or you can align it to the ring, or you can align it to the white badge shape. But make sure that you do not align it to the page because of the shadow. Okay, so now that we have aligned it, what's the next step? Okay, so there is this really awesome feature in Inkscape. And I'm going to show you what it does before I explain what it is because it's easier to explain it, easier to show it than to explain it. Okay, so this is the background that I had earlier. Let's say, for example, I wanted to put up a little nice sky sort of color here for the board, maybe, maybe. And I want it to be on the top half. Now how do I make sure that we have this correct badge space shape right here? How do I do that? There's a pretty handy tool and that is called set clip. So what it's going to do is set clip is going to, wait, I'm sure. So this is what's going to happen. Now I'm going to undo it and explain it step by step. So it helps if you imagine this shape, the shape that you want as the cookie cutter. So this is your cookie cutter right here. And this is your rule of cookie dough and you want to cut this in the shape of the cookie cutter. So what you do is you duplicate this object because this object is going to be used up when you are cutting the cookie. Okay, so I'm going to press control D and it's going to duplicate right on top of the original object. You can also right click and select duplicate here. Right. So a couple of people ask why we use duplicate instead of copying and pasting. And the thing is in Inkscape when you are copying and pasting an object, let's see. I have copied it to my keyboard and if I paste it, it's going to paste where my mouse pointer is. So you see it's going to paste it wherever my mouse pointer is. And the thing is you want the object to be on, you want the duplicate to be on top of the object. So that's why you should use the duplicate tool instead of copying and pasting because you're bound to miss the original object like even a couple of pixels. So after you do that, you select a duplicated object. Make sure it's on top of the cookie dough. That's how you cut cookies right and select the dough and set up there we go. So let's zoom in here. You see it's precise and it will be because we use the duplicate tool. And it's going to find applications in a lot of places. So let's see if you download a badge. So this is here we have this little badge of cowboy. So if I go right here and I release clip, this is going to release the clip. And I drag this right here. So we had this whole part right here. We had this whole badge right here. And by using the set clip to be actually cut it off. So it's a great tool when you're designing batches because you will want to use it. This is not a very natural shape this one right here. So your graphics are going to need to be clipped. Right. Also, as we saw this tool is non destructive. And what that means is you can use the release clip to have your original objects back. That's why we have this. We had the whole magic here. So this tool is really helpful. And if you download older badges, you can find a lot of artwork hidden in these clips. So yeah, it's I'm going to see if we have any questions. Hi Justin. Hi. Okay. So let's see. The last thing we have to do is right. I'm going to make the number. So I'm going to add 2020 here. Just in case. We have nest next year also. So Marie actually suggested this to me. So you need it's, I guess with experience, you have this sort of insight. I'm just going to use this. 2020. And we always use comforter typeface for any numberings or text that we use inside the batches. You can download the link to download this typeface is in the style in the docs page itself. So you can always go there. Now we just if you see right here, we have a very unique way of numbering. So if you see there are three layers. So this is the original number. There is a middle tone and then the darker tone. So what happens is if you zoom out. It gives it a sort of a 3d effect. And it's really cool. So we are going to see how we do that. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to first reduce the current in a bit. So that it's squeezed together. There we go. Yeah. Okay. So now we're going to use this to right here. I'm going to use the color picker tool. To change the color that I have. And there we go. So. Now if you click on this too. There we go. So what it does is it sort of creates a bounded area. With the color that you chose. Wow. Inkscape is exceptionally slow today. I think it's because I am also streaming side by side. That's okay. Okay. So we have this right here. And if I use this tool. I'm going to lower the selection. One praying. It doesn't crash right now. Cause I feel like it's going to crash. I hope not. So there you go. Yeah. So now. All the boundary areas are beneath the text. So you have this sort of call out line effect. And to get the third layer. I'm going to use this tool again. And hopefully it will be easier this time around. This. Yep. There we go. So it's. It created the outline for the whole. Thing because all of these were now touching. So. If I. Bring it to the bottom. I'm going to save this because I think. Inkscape is going to crash. Right now. Wow. Okay. This and the last thing we do is. Change this color right here to white. There we go. Great. So you can. Play adjust with adjust the colors, the thickness, everything. And then after you do that, just group it all together. I used to control G. I used to control G. Yeah. There we go. Wow. That's a lot. Okay. And. You can. Play around with it. Maybe you can change the color. I think this color, this one. I did not use the correct color. I think I should have used. Okay. I don't need this. Okay. It's going to work a lot better. So, yeah, we do that. You play around with the colors. You can even align. This whole thing. With the words. I'm going to use the line and distribute tool again. Yeah. So. I'm going to use the line and distribute tool again. Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah. You should fix that. And after that, just make sure the background is. Um, looks good. And then you're good to go. You have successfully. Completed your first batch. Yeah. But the thing is it's not over. There is still a very crucial step. And I know we are almost out of time. Thankfully we are. About to be done. So this is the most important step I would say, because even after you did everything correctly, if you don't export it correctly, it's going to be reviewed and it's going to be exported correctly. So it's not going to work if you don't export it correctly. So this is the final badge. Um, made a few modifications, changed the background a bit. And then we export it as a PNG, right? So what you have to do is you select page here. Make sure you select the page because it's really important. We need to export it at this particular size. 256 by 256 pixels. If you export it as a drawing, which is the default option. What you're going to do is you're going to export everything right here. So if I do this. What's going to happen is. Let's see. Let me open this. Right. This is what's going to happen. You have this text also says it's going to export everything that is on the screen. So just select the page, export and replace. And. There we go. We just successfully designed the first batch. And after you upload it to the ticket, you upload the PNG and the SVG so that if there are any changes to be made, someone else can also do that somewhere from the design team maybe. And then you are good to go. So, and also this is the batch that all of you can get right now. So we go to the reception, you will find the link to get this batch. Ah, Marie. Don't forget to save. Yeah, it's really important to save. Happens so many times that. Yeah, the escape crashes. I'm going to stop sharing my screen. Yeah, there we go. Okay, so does anyone have any questions? You can ask in the chat box right here and we do. Yeah, I think that works. And if you want to ask anything you can always email me, contact me on telegram. My username is Mira Goyal. It's in me already. Oh, how do I design, join the design team? If Marie needs to ask that. Okay, so to join the design team, you can join the telegram group that we have. This is the picture right here. I'm going to open the design picture right here. Make sure you sign up. To the mailing list. Then introduce yourself on the mailing list and start contributing. This is the design picture and we also have the badges picture. So yeah. The telegram group, I think it's called the Dora design design, so you can look us up. I can put a link here if you want. Well, not Marie, but if anyone else wants. What link? Wait, I will drop the. Oh, thanks, Justin. I hope I have then I can help you work past that trouble point. I know even when I started initially there was a lot of problems that I worked that I had to work on. I was not exported correctly. I will not save it and escape crashes sometimes, especially since there is a new version of escape one point or two. Oh, right. The picture link. This is the picture one. I'm going to send the fedora badges. You can find all the open issues here. Maybe we will see you in the contribution part also. Yeah, so. I don't have any more questions. Yeah. Okay. So just a reminder to get your next badge. Let's see. What if I do pick this? How do I present my screen? We have three. We actually are over time. I'm just going to quickly show. How to. Yep. We can see my screen. So this is the reception. You go down here. You can grab your Nestle fedora attendee badge here. I already have the badge, but if you click it, you will see you can claim it. So this is the final badge. I hope it opens up. See. Okay. Great. Thanks for coming everyone. Oh, thank you. I hope it was information.  Thanks, Justin. I couldn't have done it without your word of confidence. Thank you so much. And I joined the other sessions now. And I hope I see you guys there also. And there's a workshop. There's a badges workshop session also badges design workshop in about three and a half hours. 1130 my time. So that's three and a half hours. Okay, so I hope to see you guys there. We can make our own badges. And hopefully I will see some of you as a part of the design team also. Thanks everyone. Thanks for coming. Bye bye.


physics channel for physics please subscribe my channel hello and welcome back to another episode of physics partner in our universe filled with countless mesmerizing wonders one mystery has captivated scientists for decades the dark matter today let's embark on an enlightening journey into the concept history mystery and future of dark matter our story begins with the discovery of dark matter's existence decades ago astronomers noticed something peculiar galaxies were rotating much faster than expected something unseen yet influential was at play determined to uncover the hidden force physicists dove deep into their research they hypothesized that there must be an invisible substance for meeting the cosmos something that interacts only gravitationally and thus the concept of dark matter was born to make it more simple dark matter is an invisible substance that makes up around 85% of all the matter in the universe matter is anything that has mass and takes up space like planets stars and galaxies but even though we know that there is all this matter out there we can only detect about 15% of it the rest of the matter is dark matter and it's invisible to us we can only tell it's there because of its gravitational pull as the decades past dark matter become a focal point of scientific exploration many brilliant minds devoted their lives to unraveling its secrets names like Vera Robin Fritz Zwicky and Jan Orr became synonymous with the pursuit of understanding this enigmatic entity Zwicky theorized that there must be an invisible mass or dark matter exerting gravitational forces on the galaxies within the cluster this groundbreaking discovery laid the foundation for future investigations and ultimately led to the study of dark matter that we delve into today various theories emerged attempting to explain the nature of dark matter some proposed it could consist of exotic particles yet to be discovered while other contemplated alternate dimensions intertwining with our own but the true essence of dark matter continues to elude us there are several mysteries related to dark matter one of the biggest mysteries is what dark matter is actually made of and it doesn't seem to be made up of the same particles as normal matter additionally it's unclear how dark matter interacts with other form of matter since it does not emit absorb or reflect light another mystery is how dark matter is distributed throughout the universe and why it seems to be more concentrated in some areas like the centers of galaxies finally scientists are still trying to understand the role that dark matter plays in the overall structure and evolution of the cosmos scientists are exploring dark matter through a variety of methods one approach is to use large particle accelerators such as sirens large Hadron Collider to try to create dark matter particles in the lab another method is to indirectly detect dark matter through its gravitational effects on visible matter using techniques such as gravitational lensing other experiments are underway to directly detect dark matter particles using sensitive detectors located deep underground despite significant efforts dark matter remains a stubbornly elusive substance and its true nature and properties remain a mystery the future of dark matter research holds tremendous promise as technology advances we inch closer to discovering the true nature of dark matter some believe it may unlock a gateway to understanding the fundamental laws of the universe revolutionizing our understanding of physics so I think it's enough for today so thank you very much for listening and watching I hope you enjoyed the video I hope this video is useful for you so take care of yourself and don't hesitate to write an email if you have any question curies suggestion and even classes are required take care of yourself meanwhile see in the next video goodbye


The Russian Federation is obviously pretty well known to people in the English-speaking world. Many people still, however, even after the fall of the USSR, believe that Russia is a communist state, though the nation is in no way governed like any country in Western Europe or North America by any means. It is not a communist state. With that said, many parts of its governing, such as the political subdivisions, were indeed inherited from the USSR. Funny enough, in today's video, I will give a brief explanation and rundown of these different types of federal subjects in Russia. To start, let's establish what exactly the federal subject types are, and why there are different types. The most common type is oblast, followed by republics, cries, autonomous ochrogs, cities of federal importance, and the lone autonomous oblast. The difference in naming some of these regions does not have a direct effect on governance, as oblasts and cries are only different in name, and are legally treated the same. However, the three federal cities, four autonomous ochrogs, and 22 republics have different clauses in the constitution that affect how they govern themselves. So the first kind of federal subject I'll discuss is the most common, the oblast. The word oblast most nearly means area or province in English, so they're the pretty standard, run-of-the-mill subdivisions most of us know and love. The naming of the oblast usually has to do with the administrative center, or capital of the oblast, which also is usually the largest city. However, a few exceptions do exist, most notably in Leningrad and Moscow Oblast, in which neither has a capital, and what would be their capitals are in fact independent cities. Leningrad is not named for its capital, as it actually is a historical name for St. Petersburg, as most of you know, but what you may not know is about how the capital Sverdlovsk Oblast is actually Yekaterinburg, the fourth largest city in Russia. By the way, Sverdlovsk is just another historical name. The only other odd case is with Sakhalin Oblast, which is named for its geography on the island of Sakhalin. With 46 oblasts, they collectively have most of Russia's population, with the ethnic population of all being majority Russian. Cries, meaning borderlands in Russian, are exactly the same legally as oblasts. This naming difference has to do with the historical notion that these regions were, or still are, on the borderlands of the Russian state. For some, like Perm and Krasnoyarsk, this is obviously not true, but for Primorsky and Kamchatsky, it makes a little more sense. The only autonomous oblast, the Jewish autonomous oblast, is unique in its position. Autonomous oblasts used to be a bit more numerous, but all former ones, like the Edidj, but all former ones have since become republics. Despite what the name may suggest, the population is in fact mostly Russian also. Autonomous Okrugs, or districts, are self-governing regions that are subordinate in other oblasts, in most cases. The reason these Okrugs are autonomous is due to a regional ethnicity having a greater than normal presence. For example, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug is subordinate to Arkhangelsk Oblast, with Nenets being the titular regional ethnicity. Yamlou Nenetsy and Kantimansya are both subordinate to Tumen Oblast, which fun fact is one of the richest oblasts in GDP per capita, in part due to the resources found in the Okrugs. Chukokha Autonomous Okrug, while being once subordinate to Magadan Oblast, is now the only autonomous Okrug to not be subordinate to any other oblast, almost giving it pseudo-republic status, which is a perfect segue to discuss the republics of Russia. These 22 places have a titular ethnicity in their region, which is not necessarily the majority, but is at least a significant minority. Due to this, republics have their own regional leaders, usually called heads, and their own official languages, constitutions, and national anthems. The republics have a considerable amount of autonomy from the central government, and it was once said that they were just represented by the Russian government in international affairs, though this autonomy has decreased in recent years. Russia's 22nd Republic, Crimea, is also in disputed status, and is generally not considered to be part of the federation, along with the city of Sevastopol, which is a perfect segue to discuss the cities of federal importance. Including the disputed Sevastopol, there are three, the other two being Moscow and St. Petersburg. Funny enough, the latter two cities are the first and fourth largest federal subjects in population, respectively, despite being third and second smallest in land area. For the sake of time, I'll only focus on the two officially recognized federal cities. These cities function as inhabited localities within different oblasts, of which I mentioned earlier, and as separate federal subjects. As one can imagine, the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are pretty important, being the two largest cities in the country, and both being capitals of Russia at different times in history. That about sums up the way too simple explanation of this asymmetrical federation's different types of subjects. I'll be making a few more detailed videos about some of the categories of federal subjects soon, as well as more videos that discuss how the Russian government works as a whole. Till then, please like, subscribe, and share this video, and try out one of these videos here, or my second channel, which focuses on South Park.


look at this damped motion. So if we look at the equation first that we have here, again it was x and t, so the damped motion meant that with my auxiliary equation I had the square root of a number less than zero. That was damped motion and our answer was in this format, remember it was x of t, it was e to the power negative gamma t plus c sub 1 cosine of gamma squared minus omega squared times t plus c sub 2 times the square root of gamma squared minus omega squared times t. So I'm not writing the x of t, I'm using the f of x, so all my t's have to change to x's and with my remember we set 2 times gamma equal to beta over m, so I'm just reintroducing this p now as the beta, I can't put beta into this program so I've just got p divided by 2m, that would be my negative gamma. If you just looked at what we have gamma times t and here we have omega squared which is then k over m minus omega squared minus gamma squared. And let's see what happens if we have a look at this system. So there we have as time goes our oscillatory motion gets damped over time. Now remember to get to this we introduce this new force into our simple harmonic oscillation k or x double prime plus omega squared x equals 0, we introduce this force that we called beta x prime and it was opposed to the direction of velocity, this force's direction was opposed to the direction of our velocity. And it's actually a very simplified way of seeing this, imagine force affriction of something being dragged across the floor, there's so many electromagnetic interactions and that was also a very simplified way of doing it, it's actually negative beta x prime and then there's another x squared term that you can bring into that, for instance when the velocity is very small we look at that squared term and that's when you drop a ball being say into something viscous like honey, the velocities they are a lot smaller than we don't look at the beta x prime component, we look at the other component. Be that as it may, this is a mathematics lecture so we just introduce that single term for the force of affriction I should say and that was beta x prime. And that was though just a measure of, a measure of the defriction, so p here or my beta, if I let the friction get larger and larger you see how very quickly now suddenly we have the damping, if I make the friction less and less and less and less you see the damping gets less, that's what we would expect, if I make the mass larger I use a larger mass, that means my period this is going to get longer, see how the amplitude doesn't change, the frequency goes down, the period gets longer. What about my C sub 1 and C sub 2, see what that does, we're playing around with amplitude here. Now it is moving a bit with C sub 1 and C sub 2, you can see the amplitude change but you can also see a shift in the on the x axis, does that mean that the period is changing, does that mean that the frequency is changing, well let's have a look, yeah I have period, let's get rid of our function there, we have period and we have frequency. So let's first look at what happens to the period, if I now I'm hanging a mass still on a spring and I'm living it oscillate up and down or I have a mass hanging from a string, it's a pendulum so it's swinging back and forth, now if I change the mass indeed as the mass gets larger I am indeed making the period longer and if we zoom in on the frequency, yes indeed as they make the mass larger the frequency comes down, now of course the opposite happening for the spring constant here but remember we said if we let C sub 1 and C sub 2 change certainly the amplitude change but the frequency and the period change well let's play with it, nothing happens whatsoever, nothing happens whatsoever so those constants just set my initial conditions, so I can give it a push in a certain direction, I can give it some velocity but it's not going to make a difference again, those are just initial conditions, they do not make a difference to the period or to the, let's zoom our period or until we get the frequency again, look as I play with it, the period and the frequency does not change, period and frequency is going to change if I put a different mass on it, ok so amplitude, let's get back to the amplitude let's try and add that, remember amplitude, let's call the amplitude, let's call that the S of X for adding another variable there and that was the square root of A squared plus B squared, B squared there we go, so let's get rid of these, so now we are just looking at amplitude, so as I play around with the, as I play around with these sliders you can see that A and B changing, my amplitude is going to change but certainly the period, there we go with the period again though, it does not change by this initial conditions so I can pull out once again, I can pull out that mass at a bigger angle as it hangs from the string, I am not and I can give it any kind of initial condition, I am going to change the amplitude for sure but I am not changing the frequency and I am definitely not changing therefore the frequency, excellent you can use these equations and we can predict what is going to happen, do that experiment and we will see within the margins of error and with the fact that we are fudging a bit this global force of friction into one simple term opposing the velocity, the direction of the velocity but it gives us a very good intuition as to what is going to happen, a very good approximation of what is going to happen, so learning these differential equations certainly helps us a lot in physics.


All righty, I'm gonna watch this first here So rough blocking in there just to see how the camera works according to your mail. It's very cool. It's very promising Cool like it if I had you know free reign about the camera and the placement. I would love for the tiger to be Now the head here. I know this is a nice silhouette, but I'm just wondering was you're really starting to and I'm just Reframed a little bit here. It's where you're at. It was very edgy Right, this gets a bit more comfortable And I do like that we're going down with the head was does certain crush here But we have it here to focus which is cool Then going down. This is great. I love that as a moment as we pass by But then it gets a bit unfocused. It's almost like we can stop here ish You can do rar or something maybe even rar and this step But it feels like once we get past to here. It's like we almost want to reveal something new, you know, what if There's way too much work Don't do this, but you know, you could have other tigers no tiger cups and something I don't know like it follows. There's another something in there just to kind of that's why the camera goes over there Maybe that's like a A kind of a roar to alert what's over there and that's why the camera moves over into something else That is, you know, again way too much work, but that's how I would justify that camera. So Question to you Would you be open to having said English to have to having Maybe the head a bit more here. I know again, it's not as as nice silhouette wise, but if you have But you do have that correct enough you can do this or move it for the back So I'm trying to find something where the head can be at least here. I Mean if you can move for the back It could also be something where the butt is for the back right back legs But then the head is actually Somewhat here, you know back legs here bit of a slight turn Kind of edgy over there like looking not maybe not looking down But something where there's a slight turn this way with the head. That's my awesome tiger face And then it starts to turn So that if you backtrack this that you know the legs would still be back here body turn where then the head might be only around here and Then by the time you are around here, that's where you catch up to this animation. This is all cool Love all that. I know this is rough. It's just a bit soft on that landing So that's gonna drop boom bit faster, and you might even have a Faster up on the head potentially And that we don't have to go so high so quickly this just was a bit fast and the stop I know I don't use it we're uplocking just pointing things out as you move forward. So These are my biggest things. I think this is gonna be already really cool. I Just to know if you want to Again, I don't want to add more work. So unless you have something in the foreground Genome's elephant or something That makes no sense. I don't know something in the foreground that you know does something and then the camera Changes focus to what's going on here And that's why at the end we move over there's something else there I know this is a silly very destructive comments with Working well But ideally I would love for that if there's a way to go backwards with the animation or add some stuff And I want this is more work just a thought for you to go back so that the head could be here So that the camera can linger turn head could still be here then the head turns and then you can Get into this and I know you're gonna have to technically catch up quickly to get into that But I'm gonna let up to you to see what you could do Obviously email me. Let me know if this is an insane idea This is absolutely not possible But these are my thoughts. These are my thoughts just because it's just a bit edgy Bit edgy on that side for quite some time Here gets a bit better. This works to me. Well, I know this is very low, but if you can go back up Now that being said, okay, here's something else that you could do we don't really see the ground, right? So what if it's actually here? Meaning that all of this is like you just raise the ground plane, which we don't see So that it doesn't fall that low and that's you know, let's have a drop here and That way when you get to here, there's already more to see it's a super low framing And then you have that and you have to go maybe as high I don't like these are these are the kind of thoughts that have for Just that section. All right, let me know some of the discussion about this. Here's what you think. All right. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want You can submit whatever you want you get 16 submissions either way like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you
