That's not that's some real talk So when you was dealing with with and I'm gonna get off of this in a second Did you have a run in the slim when you was dealing with the what?  I'll be real with you man when I think about bird man and slim They're man. They like my the JZ of the south for the For me, you know what I'm saying like they they paved the way them and J Prince for the South man And just when it first start to develop I'm talking about masterpiece all of these different guys man When you look at them they patriarchs. I'm a older cat So I looked at how the whole thing started out and them guys being down here in the south man We didn't have nothing at first. It was on the east coast near to the west coast Yeah, we finally got a job at it and when we got it. I think we did Atlanta did is justice man Yeah, I ain't gonna lie you niggas is off the chain, you know No You know saying now I'm talking just what we had I get you know, you know, I'm saying Like from the whole dancing from the front of front of slashing like I salute every slew to everybody from I look at the weight of the music move man Then like I said when I seen you I was like man, did the DJ in it did he have by how out of way or what?

But what happened was we did like a Partnership on the record fifty-fifty partnership and we redropped it. Wow.  We're in crazy, man I remember seeing Bird man in that dang corn you When he that that Instagram video right there, that's what let that I think that's when I knew like this shit might be This might be one Man only only you ain't know a whole bunch of people experienced this is what you say, and you know what I'm saying is it's dope though that you Will you ever have will you be able to make a song bigger than that? Well, of course Have you made a song bigger than that?  Nothing. It was like hmm. I went in did it and the truth about Hardaway right I had did a song already like well Lisa hook I did a hook like years ago and when you put me on the spot London playing the beat in this a lot of us in the studio So my manager like get in there what you scared about you know, you can go out to talk Get in there by your jukebox. Just make something. Oh, I go on now I'm thinking if I hit on they present the top but we're taking so long, but I say so So I call my engineer done salute No, I'm saying hey, bro, you remember that song I did when I was talking about a magic hard way Penal hard way.  I ain't I'm looking in the room. I'm saying niggas like this was over that door. All right. I mean that nigga for now like And to be honest, it was a lot of niggas on hard way at first. Really? Yeah Like, you know, you do a song in the studio. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of people and then niggas just boom boom boom boom boom Put a version on there. It was a lot of niggas on there. I had to wake up like one of my buddy like, bro Can't do that. No, you treat him, bro. This you need to do this You need to go do a second verse bro. You treat me and I wouldn't be at a second verse and I was with I was it I forgot the studio. I was it but young school was in he was like, this the one goddamn All aboard gets the wine.   I ain't never thought this deep about all the way And then we went in on that one of my favorite song. That's all that's happening right here Turn that song on right now in the club. The club is gonna jump. Yeah still to this day.   It was I never I never like Had no type of relationship with a person like that. That was like that's probably the big brother They were saying I've been talking about like he was like a big brother to me Like I was like the alley hoops. He threw it was crazy.  I realized that we would always hustle try to make money for the kids try to Create a lane where they can grow up and learn how to become entrepreneurs, you know stuff like that and That's what this world does it makes you want to work work work to leave them something But that's not the most important thing when my father died. I realized that I had all these memories That he left me. Yes, there was money or whatever, but it was mainly I remember going hunting with him I remember going fishing with him cuz I was a I was a time I'm the only girl but I was a time, you know, what man it sound good when you yeah on the mic You know, it's my Boy you stand behind you almost thank you a rappel Where do the bank I'll go ahead I will let you go. No, but that's what I learned over that time that period of time in my life is that Treasure the things that you have right now money is not everything. It's the family you have it's the kids You leaving them memories you leaving them lessons cuz when When you're gone, and we don't know what day that gonna be when we leave this So we need to always leave something that people can remember us by Trying to build it up.   We need to my kid. They kid. They kid kid kid I'm trying to buy the big-ass calcium motherfucker to what we going there.   Like the way you grab, you know dig deep and go to those places. I just See what I'm saying Bro, I don't been through so much shit, right? And it's crazy. I even asked myself like I'm a man of means About pain. Yeah, they are different. I just Whatever the beat take me I become a part of the beat like It depends like, you know, it could be some I'm going through the day tomorrow some I just thought about from last year It could be something like I was talking right here about what we talking about I can go tomorrow and be like make a song about gotta leave a legacy or some shit got a lead song for my kid Like, I don't know it just come from the inside, bro. It's genuine.   Yeah, and that's why people feel it so much because when I listen to the words I can feel it Yeah, you got you got the rod wave the merays you Mode three you linked with mode three Yeah, I seen I seen that too with t-rea. All I need to get Is rod wave he got to come on in that boy, man Yeah, that'd be five the mother So Yeah, so the thing that I look at man is is with the mode three thing. How did you end up making that happen? um, we had link Um, me and him we know our own time like Like I was I was just asked this question before I really can't remember how like, you know what I'm saying But we traded numbers or whatever You know talking organically genuine. He sent some And I sent it back and it was a look like we've been did the song, you know, I'm saying so And one like, you know, this this situation happening then a nigga reached out. We've been locked in Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it happened before his demise untimely demise. Yeah Yeah, man. And so The cloud that and I asked this question. I've been asking it with young doff pass and like you getting killed like he did Uh, just a few days ago This this cloud of darkness that covers the wrappers man when they come down to you know It's like you see the pop smokes to mode threes all these different.

I'm older cat, you know, how does When you see these things happening and being that you in this world, you understand what I'm saying Does it make you choose the way you move wise that doesn't make your song choice? What you say wisely, you know Wiser How do you how do you deal with it? I mean for me? I can't speak for nobody else but myself, right?  You got to move more militant.   I'm knowing this. They'll be real close to you. You know what I'm saying?    Yeah, because you got a lot of like For example, I just called my son the other day, right?

Wow, you know what I'm saying?  I made it to be where I'm at today.  I know the outcome and so and I got to be here for mine You know what I'm saying?  I got to be here.   In what ball of meat well used to ball of me not no more because I kind of understand My kids look to me like the red the sun instead of daddy I've been through that shit like wow facts to the point why I had to let them know like motherfucker I'm your dad boy.

I pull up the schools like you too being being me like change on whatever however I'm rocking I'll never forget right one day. I had to come check my son in school fresh off the road I'm come we coming his mom calling a whole man. These are guys suspended man. Can you go get them from the school? I'm like, what?

Do you feel like it's good to stay in your hometown where you from This is a question that people ask and you know, I ain't gonna hear no Need to leave you need to leave and some I didn't get and I should have been there But once again, like I said, I'm still I ain't said yet, but I was gonna say I'm still learning myself Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying. Um, like I said before I always feel like if I was a nigga that can't be where I'm from or be in the hood or be wherever Then I ain't who I ain't who I say I am but now I'm over that like I should have been gone You know what I'm saying?   I got family members. I don't talk to no more.

You see how we on the side? Jealousy is it's crazy. Do you know what everything boils down to to me is mental health is how you perceive something how you think because If we both were raised in the same neighborhood and we afforded the same, you know things in life And you got somewhere and I didn't it's two reasons Your grind is harder than mine. I need to step up my game or God's purpose is that's where you need to be and I need to be somewhere else fast That's all that boy. I agree with you.   I think I'm supposed to make it too. You supposed to put me on You know what that remind me of This you're very good at knowing where the scripture is but Talking about the members of your body and how no member is greater than the other This is the truth Right for the good and even talking about tongue the other day how the tongue Small as is it is Very very very So, you know when you think about all of that it it boils down to what you just said and I love that So explain to me uh relationship because I asked uh, I asked y'all the same thing I got asked you the same thing asked him. How how how did you and how's you and p? My god, shout if you have shout I'm gonna know how how this thing, you know, how do you how this bun how this bun came together This one came before anything like that's family for show like Like this family for show man, you know, I'm saying like we locked in man, you know, we we we've been in situation together Well, we both had to depend on each other for as faith-wise to keep each other float to keep each other strong Not only we're just doing this music shit, but in real life situations like we coming from uh brands where it's like We was day to day living we day to day Kicking and we seeing each other problems.   Are you in the red the shot? I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna tell you what else what else it is when it stopped, right? So, you know, um, you know, I I used to I used to get wild You know what I'm saying? Yeah.  Matter of fact, I'm pulling up Yeah, right Little niggas like that. Hey, man.    So your top three artists of all time did a lot Hmm, that's hard man.  That's hard. Come on now. You you gotta give it up. Give it up, man Hey, y'all there the hell so you got everybody that been on this number one See All genres if it's Johnny Cash, nigga go on and see it if it's A million a million things a million things went through my mind like I can't just narrow it down to three I know it, but that's why we that's the that's the reason we asked the question Right, let's go ahead and knock some people off. All right. So I'll do one Tis up When you say different jump so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go different time zones with you. Exactly. All right. All right pop Okay, number one Andre three thousand number two That's dope. That's dope.  He's sorry Drake, he's sorry But that's just I just hit but but my musical influences if I have any Would be a right a wide variety like I can go back to saying like um Devon the dude Man and boy was dope in a day. You know what I'm saying? I didn't even ride them but he I love this little catering style It was real simple, but he deadly, you know, my favorite song from it was Which one? Anything plenty man Hey, it's better than now Nothing at all Hey, man, I think it was bad.  Yeah, Dorsey.  It's fly the way you flowing, bro. Appreciate, you know It's fly, bro. It's fly man. It's and it's and it's the new thing. That's what that's real It's the new thing. It's it's really going down.   There you got going nine chillin. So I bet that 100 you're checking on your b-side trust name You know what I'm saying? He'll tell bro what you got going bro. I hit back by cooking.   Like just regular home Yeah, and um I don't know bro I said he some one of us in some to each other And the other sent the other back and we've been locked in since like I just hit him the other day I gotta show him. Um sorry to come in on my burp.  No, that's real I done met some people that I thought I was gonna like that. I didn't like Do you think I have a cousin for you? Do you think you like him because of the people that you did click with or the people that did put that type of vibe on you? I just thought these were people that I had seen And I thought it'd be like me seeing you today and like damn I mean what I it was even what I thought it was gonna be. Okay. You see where I'm coming from That's why I was coming from with it. I done met some of the dudes I looked up to and was looking or looked to and thought Was stand up and when I met him It was not that way, bro. Oh, yeah, I don't see Because everything you do we like organic so when you meet somebody you want it to just mesh and everything just flow But sometimes when you meet somebody is like they just standoffish or They don't speak or I hate it. It's weird like too much.  I think I'm bad. No, I don't even think I'm bad.  I agree. It's spirit certain spirits don't don't connect No, no, you can tell this in the air a nigga I don't need to be with that nigga right there. That nigga you we had a guy to come in the other day On the on the interview and as soon as that nigga came in I attacked that nigga I can tell we wasn't Right. Yeah, he wasn't it wasn't even that he wasn't even there for an interview.     Yeah, so then he got mad left Because you have to hit niggas with the truth. Sometimes niggas not ready for this man. What you doing?  Like I said, I'm still learning. Yeah, I heard that That's humbleness too. Yeah, I'm still learning. So I still formal hearing them, but it take a certain type of individual to be able to Walk out of the house where as an issue And go straight to the studio and make a hit record. I'll make a good song.   Like so me. I'm speaking on me anyway I'm a different nigga. Like a lot. I don't I'm I'm I'm really like a self-proc like I'm I'm what's the word? Self-syncing like I think uh, uh, like I just don't like people. I know But I love my fans.  How are we kicking we hanging? I mean other niggas events like how they at mine. You know what I'm saying?    Hey Like it's like a strong mind for everybody ain't ready for it. I ain't ready.  No, no, no, I just saying everybody ain't ready for the evening to think they ready But what you just explained was trying to balance all that these niggas ain't ready for that That take a special kind of person to be able to deal with all these different And then you got you didn't even mention the people that's coming at you every day From different places that you didn't even know was coming Facts and now you got to balance that within this so And and you meet people like it's a special gift too.  So for you to be still in the game Come on, man. I've been trying to keep shot and calling me going crazy I Know you mentioned the cooking earlier and I heard you say on other platforms that you can cook anything Yeah, so you can cook Jamaican food See I'm gonna have to look at a couple of youtube Because I ain't I can make jerky.

He had a boy great. He was greater than a mother for me. Yeah. Yeah, I agree All right, you know what I'm saying amazing artists, bro I agree with you because Everybody that came on the show say the same thing about him chris brown gotta be doing something right Everybody come on mention that dude. Yeah, but I'm gonna say that again because I'm hoping like niggas. You see this But that'd be a dope collab too, but I really I really I really just want to work with anybody genuine like me, man Good humble people for sure. I gotta work right away though. You know what I'm saying for the culture You know, that's how I did with mode 3. That's right around the corner.   You get what I'm saying?   Yeah, I like dawg man.

Um, I lost partners like like Every week I was losing a partner and I'm talking about recently like You know what I'm saying like a few months ago like and it all just hit me one day I was sitting down. I don't know what I was doing I might have been about to record and I don't know why I hit me.    I didn't see your mid-take or a nigga. I've been in the studio.    I get it.   That's true.  You know what I'm saying?  It will Damn why you don't love me, bro?  Yeah, it has nothing to do with the people that you're dealing with It's a spirit and and and I believe I'm a believer So I believe that when that spirit is in there, it's something that's where it goes into Individual to attack you to bring you from a place where basically It's standing between you and your blessing.    That's why you like that, bro And I'm like, no, bro I'm like and and I ain't saying like, you know, I'm beyond I used to being bad, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but now I'm being under like because it's serious mental health is real It's very many people who are going through what you're going through.    I'm like what I say Damn, you get what I'm saying. That's crazy. But I get it I get it man. Like I said, it happens. It happens. Yeah, but it happens.   I just show you about that nigga came to you down and pulling you you get to looking like You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, thanks. No. No, I agree because I know that's the same thing I've been expressing like Hey, man, you just hey, man, you you got to be careful and you got to stay prayed up, but that's all I could tell That's what I believe, you know, I got to keep myself prayed up isolated sometime Meditate isolated because I'm just gonna chill today. I'm gonna I'm gonna fast from talking or I'm trying to condition myself To fight against this warfare that I'm about to face But in everything we do awareness is the first thing you always have to know that you are aware of it Because sometimes somebody can come at you and all of a sudden you want to custom out You want to fight them whatever because you're not realizing what that really Not fair what what's really going on? But if you realize just like a person who is an alcoholic They first have to say I'm an alcohol First say I'm an alcoholic Before they can get help. Oh, yeah I admit it So you have to know or we all have to know that okay that right there as he said is spiritual warfare It is it's not something I can fight physically. So I need to know that Okay, I need to go through this to make me stronger because We're older and we know that okay a lot of things that we've done in the past. We're not Did that person anymore? Fair But we had to go through that to prepare us for where we are right now If we didn't go through that we wouldn't be ready for this year. Are you exactly so Going forward you still have to go through a whole bunch of stuff to prepare you for that goal down the line That we can't see it, but we know that it's predestined in our life. Yeah fair 100 I couldn't say no better myself I'm trying to get these brownie points I want to stay married another 20 years. You know what I'm talking about Hey, that's a beautiful time man. Congratulations. Look what we did man.  No, man. I want a family. I'm gonna be It's dope, bro.  You see how good I'm looking on this picture Hey, man, we working to our perfection man So, uh, Katie flame my partner wanted me to ask you about trail talking no pill talk shout out to you n***a You got a shout out. Yeah Katie flame you did a song with him in east, Texas. You probably remember you do something with so many people It was called we are called trenches It was trenches all this Katie aka flame. I remember the name Katie flame. Yeah, I do remember that But you you've been doing a lot of a lot of song you didn't go. No, it ain't even that I remember. Yeah, I don't remember the song, but I think I do like yeah, like I do so many though for real No, I'm trying to think if I could surprise him and say the hookers on hold on Trench it trench it trench it. Oh, yeah trenches. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Damn man. I think he's a DM me the whole day Katie flame Yeah, yeah, that's you man. No disrespect. I can't even remember the name of the song Yeah, because you gotta do it. You do a lot of the flyer got it's like a black flyer with My father just sent me that he was like man, make sure you ask that because he You when he know all of them, but when you come to like Dallas or whatever and we go through the blog systems or whatever They always send me questions. I'm gonna I'm gonna get to see my brother as the show So I ask because I want to make sure that we you know that I ask you everything that So see I'm tapped in but I know what I love my heart go to all what I love You know what I'm saying? So when I go and start looking I'm like, okay, I love this I'm asking about this or the Birdman. I'm asking about this. I'm with all But I'll be trying to be real with it, man It was another song that I was going to buy but I'm gonna let her go first because she's looking at me with them Little squinty eyes You know, when do you have a next project dropping? um topic well That right top of next year Mike first quarter. Yeah me and jane were early february.   You know what I'm saying?  Mm-hmm. Yeah, so the summer a summer walk or so Big how did how did that happen? So I learned on the track, man. Um, you're learning to be linking up. Yeah, that's my dog Yeah, he's gonna be here. He's gonna put it out there. I'm kind of way. Yeah, that's my man Me and bro Me and bro came from back way way back. Yeah, I like that And um, yeah shot out of learning on the track for even bringing me in the situation So I'm walking for being a real nigga And handling the business properly and you know what I'm saying rocking with a nigga for so But it happened, um London call me and he was like we working on some album And I got this song idea and you the only nigga I know that can got there make it happen And I need you to do it and I'm like, I'll pull up. He playing the beat. I'm listening matter of fact me It was me him one shot deal one shot shot one shot man. Yeah, man. We all went deals in the building Yeah, yeah So y'all went together. Yeah, we went we pulled up They was playing well London was playing the record And then he had a drawing and they weren't even finished. It was just like keys And I went in like he told me, you know, this what we going through.     You get what I'm saying Now I'm tripping over a new you said manipulated, man. I thought about the song with you and he I love the way you guys can laugh man. I'll be watching man It's just a good thing to have a brother and have some brotherly love man. It's all right for niggas to You know No, and that's the way it's supposed to be you don't supposed to wait till it's too damn late That's for sure, man. So I big kudo. Do you you got something else for my guy? Say man the resurrection. We love you brother Hey man anytime you you need us. We'll pull up. Don't don't play up Say we just you family man Like I said, man, where if it's ever need man and y'all know the same thing, man We pulling up and vice versa. Yeah, we coming and at the end of the day If we yeah, we've been here a little months y'all and we got the red sun I'm I'm feeling myself.  It's dope, man. Thank you. Thank you, bro. Thank you Like we interview we got 400 some interviews nigga. I know if your spirit ain't right. Oh, I know you do Saddle with a bit like this So what do you think about y'all's to wife, man? All right, because he be he be on my show and niggas be hitting on me like man I'ma tell you exactly how I feel about y'all. All right I can respect any man right there stand on stand on what he's saying.   I'm saluting. Wow. I like it, man. I agree. I agree. I agree. Yeah, and that's only because I don't know No, boys. I don't know Yeah, I don't know that if he goes well, I ain't saluting no bullshit But you know Yeah, I interview him a lot man and and to be honest with you, man We be on a lot of different, you know platforms Like like because of the stuff that happens around him in the controversy But at the end of the day, man, ever since I've been dealing with him Like I said, I look at the part of him bringing them kids over there He blessed a lot of children in my school, you know, I'll be, you know, we clothe different children Oh, yeah, we've been doing it. That's what I look at the realness. I don't and then I don't I don't box nobody into a position of where they at. I let people grow.  I'm mad at you.   I think that she was instilled in us.  I mean as a whole. No, no, no, I agree You know what I'm saying? Niggas don't want to see a nigga go above a lot of niggas.  I want everybody up so I can kick back But I'm tired like I'll try a little light man. You feel me? You know, no, you're 100 right, man Like I said, everybody got a win man in the end man I be looking at different people in different legacies man and It looked good, you know, a lot of times people doing better than what they really, you know They ain't broke like like when I look at like when you look at the legacies that been held by rock Whether it be bird man, whether it be jay-z Rockfellow or whatever these people are rich man. Everybody came out of these whole situations Entrepreneurs this rap game is real man. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like it may it changed the entrepreneurship for black people in a major way major and I think we we need to celebrate that I think a lot of times we don't we don't we too busy living in the moment Yeah, niggas don't like I just had this conversation, you know, I'm saying um with bank right with big bank Yeah niggas don't niggas don't celebrate niggas niggas don't um Up niggas like at all like and I don't know why I do I salute like this whole time, you know All the compassion they made I up niggas like I'm loving it. That's what they doing We sound like 100 I support it niggas. Let's work But everybody ain't gonna be you and sometimes we get caught up because we be Just because we keep it 100 we think the next person will and because we did it to them and they not It's always like that man.  I love them. You got to have them too though. Yeah, you got to have them if you don't got nothing You ain't doing that at all at all man So hey, man, we love you, bro And we appreciate you for coming on boss talk 101 man And when you come into the city in Dallas, we got to get you in the studio too You know, we got to get you in there man. Yeah, I can't wait already man. Thank y'all for having me man I really appreciate it. It was a humbling experience.  I'm good niggas. I don't be in my thing Check it man. Hey, that's been another great segment of boss talk 101 and we have


Here are three different brands of peanut butter each with their net weight serving size and price We're going to write a program that finds the price per serving and price per hundred grams for each of these brands Here's the program Where each piece of data is represented by an individual variable for each brand we do the calculations and Print the results. Here's what the program looks like when we run it There's absolutely nothing wrong with this code The problem is in how we're thinking about the data The weight the serving size and price really aren't totally separate variables the way they're written here They belong together What you'd like to do is collect these separate variables into a single data structure The way you do that in C is to start with the struct keyword and Then give a name for your data structure We'll call it food so that it can be used for more than just peanut butter and then in braces We list the things that are associated with each food Every food has a weight Every food has a serving size and a price These components of the data structure are called the data structure members Now instead of needing nine separate variables We need three variables that are struct food variables one for brand one one for brand two and One for brand three To initialize a data structure You give the values for the members in the same order that they appear in the definition brand one was 454 grams weight with a 32 grams serving size and cost 499 Similarly brand two was for 40 grams 32 grams serving size for 299 and Our data for brand three Since we no longer have nine separate variables. We have to change this code here Now instead of an independent variable We use dot notation Dot notation is best read from right to left. We want to access the price member Belonging to the brand one variable or if you prefer reading left to right We could say the brand one variable Contains a member called weight which we want to access and similarly We change this all to dot notation Let's make the same changes for the rest of the program rebuild and run again and It still works The advantage of a data structure is that it makes your programs more understandable By allowing you to keep related data together


Now it's my pleasure to introduce someone who clearly has mastered technology enough to be everywhere at the same time. That's Susan Lieto, who is professor of law and who balances commitments at Stanford University, LSE in London, and her own business, and somehow managed to keep all of these balls in the air. Susan? Thank you. Thank you, Jim and Shirley. Thank you for the honor. What I'd like to do is to make three or four points and see what resonates for the discussion and the Q&A, because that's always the best part at World Policy Conference. And my points will have three things in common. The first is that they all have a considerable ethical responsibility for individual citizens, corporates, and governments. The second is that no matter how much technology is present, there are always people who are ultimately responsible and ultimately affected. And the third is that I see this intersection of technology, society and democracy through the lens of risk and opportunity. So how can we maximize the opportunity? How can we minimize the risk? So to start, as others have said, technology is ubiquitous. But I think we need to reconceptualize what it means to have a society in which democracies function, because the reality is it's no longer about individual human beings and their institutions. The connective tissue is machines, apps, and data. And to the extent that citizens don't understand how that is affecting them, influencing them, what is required of their leadership in that context, it is very difficult to move democracy along with technology. So to take a concrete example of AI, I sit on the UK Government Center for Data and Ethics Innovation Board, which is all about AI and what regulators should be doing and what we need to tell citizens. And it's a real question about what citizens need to understand. They don't all need to be able to code, but they do need to understand about targeting and bias, and that AI is everywhere from facial recognition to potentially driverless cars, but to immigration and policing and beyond. So it's a very big challenge. But more generally, where technology fits in with what we expect of our leaders is critically important. We have bots everywhere. We have robots taking care of the elderly. We have robots flipping burgers and greeting us at the Euro Star. What does that mean for society? What does that mean for responsibility? Some of you may be aware of a humanoid robot called Sophia, who was created by a highly ethically-minded entrepreneur in Hong Kong, David Hansen. It turns out that Sophia has Saudi citizenship. So one might ask, what happens to democracy when robots start having citizenship? What does that mean for rights? The second point I'd like to make is that we tend to think about democracies in the context of a particular country. And at the moment, obviously, there's a lot of focus on Brexit. There's a lot of focus on the upcoming US election. But in fact, the responsibility is borderless. So it's very easy for me to say that I'm in no particular hurry for driverless cars and the safety promises that the entrepreneurs bring. But the World Bank came out with a statistic a couple of years ago, and this isn't going to be precise, but it's something along the lines of 50% of the world's motor vehicles are in developing countries, but 95% or 92% thereabouts of deaths from automobile accidents are in those countries. So we also need to be looking at technology through the lens of global impact, global governance, even though democracy tends to be a national question. The third is that we look at technology sometimes as an eraser of ill, where it provides opportunity. But in fact, it is an amplifier of age-old problems.  Right now we are in the midst of an epidemic of teen suicides from bullying on social media. Why? Because you can't leave a playground or even change schools when you're bullied. There's just no way to get away from it on the Internet. And in fact, just like citizens don't understand AI, victims of this kind of thing don't really understand who might have access, where things might have been forward and how you could put a stop to it. So things start to seem hopeless. Similarly, child sex trafficking on the Internet is tens of billions of dollars industry to use a terrible word for it and on and on. So we need to be very mindful when we look at how our society functions and what we expect of our leaders of the fact that technology is a terrible amplifier of these age-old harms. And then finally about voting. There are a couple of things about voting. We may go to the voting booth influenced by foreign governments infiltrating our social media. We may go to the voting booth having been targeted through algorithms with advertising and indeed just generally a victim of some algorithmic infiltration of our freedom of thoughts. And we may also have security issues around the voting process itself. There are people like Brad Smith at Microsoft who are talking about experimenting with different voting machines to fix that. Things like a combination of screens where we choose our candidates on a screen. But there's actually, believe it or not, a paper trail, one that could be audited and paper receipts that have tracking to algorithms that would allow us to track. But whatever the technology that influences us and whatever the technology is that we use to vote, again, people are here. And when we look at the statistics, for example, the last U.S. presidential election of somewhere in the mid-50% turnout, no matter what we do with technology, no matter what we experience, if we don't go vote, democracy is going to be in jeopardy. And then finally truth. I've spent a lot of time the last couple of years thinking about truth in my ethics advisory work, in particular with large corporate clients. Compromise truth or the assault on truth, whatever you want to call it, whether it's fake news or deep fakes, whether it's ignoring scientific evidence or whether it's cherry picking your favorite facts so that you can get the outcome that you wish and you're not inconvenienced by the facts that don't work for you. I genuinely believe that compromise truth is the greatest global system at risk of our time. It undergirds every other challenge we have from climate change to global governance failure to political system issues to financial system meltdown. And democracy hinges and our society, our trust in institutions, our trust in each other hinge on truth. So to the extent and accountability of our leaders hinges on truth. So to the extent we don't have truth, to the extent that technology can amplify fake news, that it can amplify compromise truth, it is a threat to democracy. I genuinely do not believe that an alternatively factual democracy is possible. And I think I'll end there and welcome the conversation. Thank you Susan.


We're gonna talk about a few things that affect a stimulus control because things do. I don't know. I suppose the first thing that you need to remember is pretty obvious and sometimes I think our field, I don't know, it's both a benefit and it's kind of an annoying thing especially for people that aren't in our field, that we love to talk about all the obvious stuff and we make it a point of turning the obvious stuff into a hard science and that's important for science across the board but I'm just saying because this is one of those things that's so obvious if you can't attend to something folks, you can't develop stimulus, you can't develop stimulus control with you or over you I should say why right because if you can't see green like if you can't identify the color if you don't see the stimulus in your in your environment then I can't teach you what it is right if I tell you to if I'm driving down the street I'm like wave at me and you don't wave at me maybe because you didn't attend to me maybe you didn't see me right so attend pre-attending skills are the things that I'm thinking about here if you if you tell someone or if you teach someone to attend then you've taught a skill that allows them to then develop stimulus control or have stimulus control developed over other things right of the behaviors so the absolute key within each sort of stimulus control is attending right so it's a powerful skill to teach sometimes you have to teach it to adults sometimes you have to teach it to dogs sometimes even kids but it's just a genuinely good tool to use so the other thing that the tool to use alright it's a requirement it's not tool to use so pre-attending skills oh I don't know that stimulus was way more salient than what I was doing with my tie at the time and you're gonna rewind that to find out what I was doing with my tie and you're gonna find out it was nothing so I'll just you're gonna no but now you're gonna double-check me because interobserver agreement right so anyway um so a stimulus that is extremely salient will be the one that sticks out in the environment right so that sort of thing is pretty salient it's you're going to remember that hopefully it'll be one of those things that stuck out in this video so salient stimuli are the ones that are turn to think of a better way to describe this so the stimulus that sticks out the most is the one that's the most salient right so think of it that way right so two more things so those are the ones that you're gonna readily develop stimulus control to in an environment the subtle nuance differences take a while to develop you always tend we always tend to focus on the most salient stimuli first so two more things masking and overshadowing let's talk about overshadowing first because that has to do with the development of stimulus control and learning new relations about stimuli so overshadowing is when we have one stimulus that basically blocks the acquisition of learning or sorry overshadows the acquisition of learning to another stimulus blocking is a whole different thing and we can talk about that at a completely different time and a completely different set of videos because for whatever reason we don't really talk about it in here so anyway I'm so overshadowing we have one stimulus that's gonna overshadow another stimulus so I could have this unbelievably bright right shining upon you and then I could do a really soft sound and I'm supposed to get you to do something to the soft sound but you're not going to respond to the you're gonna be responding to this unbelievably bright light that's just gonna totally overwhelm you so as a result you probably won't learn about that right so that's the idea of overshadowing just one stimulus in the environment it is more salient it totally overwhelms the organism to learning something about another stimulus in that particular environment another one is masking okay this has to do with skills that you've already learned so you already have stimulus control but you may not be able to perform a particular task because of some other stimulus that is in masking the ability of stimulus a right to elicit there or to evoke the response that were that were after not elicit sorry I'd sometimes they get confused in my head they all the damn e words anyway it's because oh I wonder why maybe the video or maybe the video camera is masking my ability to discriminate on elicit evoke and all that in the mid right so so that's an exact kind of a funny example where I just caught onto the fact I was making that mistake and then in this particular environment so maybe the stimuli around me the lights the camera the cameraman and the studio that we're in maybe all that is masking my ability to discriminate well on the e words and behavior analysis so another example of this is sometimes kids get overwhelmed with noises like my kiddo right now is in school and they're doing a lot of construction in the school and he's having a really hard time doing some of the work that he already knows how to do because of boom boom boom boom in the environment constantly all day long right I remember when I was learning to screw a dive this ages ago we had a there's a pile driving going on they were doing some work on a bridge in the river bang bang bang bang I couldn't we were underwater trying to attend to specific things that we knew how to do but I was getting distracted I was like what do I need to do because I kept focusing on bang bang bang in the water and it was really overwhelming so sometimes stimuli will mask the ability of another stimulus to elicit or to evoke a particular response with from stimulus control obviously so I think that's probably good enough for now and I'll talk to you later another time see it or I won't because I'm not sailing to know are you I can't thank you enough for making it to the end of a video no one watches to the end except you and for that I appreciate it thank you very much please like subscribe share even donate maybe anything just watch more videos


How to punch harder. Today we're going to show you three exercises that you can do at home to increase your punching power. How you can execute a knockout punch and develop the power you need to do that. So stay tuned, here we go. Now it's time for the announcement of this week's winner of our Accelerated Wing Chun DVD Contest. Can I get a drum roll? Alright, this week's DVD contest winner is Will Boswell. Nice. Finally. Nice. Alright. You two can be a winner. Hey, hold on, I don't think... Wait, you wrote this didn't you? No. Hey, you wrote this, this is your handwriting. No. What the heck? No, you're cheating. I don't know, I don't think I'll do it. Okay, let's get cut. Here's the actual winner of this week's DVD contest. Congratulations to Leo Free Spirit. And yes, we are giving away these free DVDs, Accelerated Wing Chun System Quick Start DVD, normally retailing for 129 bucks. But, enter the contest, all you need to do is to subscribe, click the notification bell, and like and comment on this video and you'll enter automatically into the draw. Every week we're going to give away free video, so good luck. Here's our first exercise on how to punch hearts. The first one is rotational exercise. So, let's just move like this, arm stretch out to the side, and let's get into our combat stance. Nice forward stance like this. And then how you can do this stance is measure with your feet. So put your feet together, do one, 90 degrees on your heel, 90 degrees on your toe, 90 degrees on your heel, and then another 90 degrees.  From here, put your arms out to the side, straight out, even, fingers around. And then let's move it so that you're turning directly 90 degrees, 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. It'll be good to look in the mirror so that it's completely straight. You don't want to be under straight. Okay, you don't want to be straight. Now the key to this is to keep your shoulders level. For beginners, a lot of people tend to change the plane of the angle. You don't want to do that. So one thing that you can do is you get a room stick. Not very hard to find on these at home deep or something. Then put it on your shoulder and then do this. And then practice moving it like this. It forces you to move your body in a straight plane without dipping. So the key is you want to do this so that when you do rotate your waist and your shoulders, you stay on one plane. So that's the first exercise. Look in the mirror. Make sure that when you do this, you don't dip down. When you dip down this way, it's completely straight. Notice that I am also rotating my knees and my hips. If you're not just moving the other body, you're actually moving everything. Bend your knees slightly, okay? And then if you're looking at your feet, you can rotate the toe outwards like this as you do the rotating. Now as you get better at this, you can start using a bigger stick. So once you get better at that, you can get a bigger stick, heavier stick. Just make sure that you have enough space at home when you do this so you don't knock anything down in your living room. A little bit heavier stick, just a little bit more resistance for you to be able to do this. So that is the first exercise on how to get a stronger punch. Now these exercises are going to help you increase your rotational power, which is very easy to learn and very effective body mechanics to generate a lot of power. So we did this one, the waist. Now the next one we're going to do is your whole body. So for example, if Will is going to do that and I do the waist one, this is the waist one. The point of the waist exercise is that you can engage your entire body into the rotation. It converts into a punch. And right now I'm just doing what I just did with the pole and now applying it to the punch. So it doesn't take, if you relax, if you relax, don't tense up. Tense up only at the last moment. You're going to get a lot of power just from that one exercise. And the reason it works is because you're engaging all these muscles and joints into a spiraling kinetic force into the punch. So just a word of warning is that these are just exercises. You may not want to punch like this because it opens up everything. It is just exercises to develop the abilities and the attributes that you need in order to develop your own style of a punch. So are you going to use it just like I'm doing? Probably not. But are you going to be benefiting from this exercise? You're strengthening your rotational power. That's what the point of this video is for. So just keep that in mind. So another way to train this first exercise is to convert it into a punch. So if you had a partner, you can do it on a punching bag. It's just relax and just this rotational power. Don't put any power into it. Just practice the motion of converting what you just did into a punch. Keep your shoulders plane on the same plane. Keep your hips on the same plane. Now this is just a drill. You're not going to actually punch like this. But this trains your body mechanics. So just really relax. Just like this. Just to get the proper coordination of your body and your joints. I'm not trying to hit as far as I can. I'm just working on the coordination right now. So the next part of this is once you get really good at that is to add speed. Don't add power, add speed. If you do physics, right? Force equals mass times acceleration. So how do you increase the force? You can either increase the mass or you can increase the acceleration. So what are we doing now? You can't increase your mass because you can only be a certain amount of weight. What we can do is increase the acceleration. So increase the speed. So I'm not going to put in extra force. I'm going to put in extra speed so that the equation works out to more force. More speed. Keep the relaxation. Don't focus on force, focus on acceleration. And that's a lot. You're stronger, right? And I'm not putting more force in. I'm just putting more acceleration in the speed. Using the same relaxed body mechanics. So that's why it's very important to start off with very good relaxation. And get very comfortable. I do this probably 100 times a day. Okay? It doesn't look like much. I'm not really using much force, but once you increase the force there's actually quite a lot of power that goes into it. Even if I do this speed, even if I do it slow, you can see that it has power to move. So just imagine if you can speed it up. So now you convert that mechanic into even more force at the end of the equation. So come back and we'll show you the second exercise to increase your punching power. Hey everybody, this is Seafood David's son. And this is how he taught me how to do Wing Chun. You know, my dad doesn't know this, but I teach Wing Chun to his students secretly when he goes to the bathroom. Okay, he's here. Hey, no pulling around! Now here's the second exercise for increasing punching power. In the demonstrations you saw me actually change leads and jump into the punch. A lot of people may say, well, that's still telegraphic, it's too easy to see. But right now we're just focusing on power. How are you going to generate the most power? Okay? Well, instead of just going this, which is good, you're using the rotation of power. What if you would put some more mass behind it? Remember the equation I talked about. Force equals mass time acceleration. What if you can put more mass behind it? When I do this, it's the mass of my shoulders and my torso, and that's mostly the mass. But what if I can move the mass of my whole leg too? So wouldn't that add more force into the equation? Well, you tell me, test it at home, and see if you get more force if you add more mass. So what I'm doing is if I turn and then actually take half of my body mass and move it into the target, now you have a bigger mass and add acceleration and now you have more force in the equation. So the drill is to... Now you did the rotation drill. Now we're going to do this drill, which is going to add mass. You're adding the mass into the tank, the mass of your body. So the drill is this, very simple. We're going to start like this. You see a line on the floor and then we're going to move your front foot so that your foot is on this line. So move, do that a few hundred times. And the next step would be to jump into it. So jump back. Make sure you land nice and solid. You have a nice wide stance. You can use this as a horse stance. But nice and balanced, easy to park. So you're jumping, jumping into it. Coming back, I'll show you a little bit more advanced one from this. Stay tuned. Alright, so we were doing this one. You're doing this, make sure that your upper body is completely relaxed. No tension, see my arm is just flinging around like this? That's what you want, because you don't want it for too much tension. You have your body while you're doing this. So the next step would be to actually add a little bit more distance. Tiny a little bit more distance. And now you want to add a little stomp at the end. Stomp, like this. Okay, so you can try that. And like I said, I'm going to show you how to add some more difficulty. So all you need is a weight. If you don't have a weight, just get a water bottle or something. And just do the same thing with a water bottle. Keep your hands relaxed. Very important to keep yourself relaxed. Do that a few hundred times. Just feel this natural swinging of the weight that you're holding. Feel that natural weight, natural swinging. Don't try to move it. Don't try to push it. Just let your body carry the weight. Let the body naturally carry the weight with the movement. The next step is to actually simulate you pushing and throwing a punch out. You don't need a really heavy weight for this. Go right into a heavy weight because then it will cause too much tension. And if you practice too much with a very heavy weight to start with, then you program your muscles to tense up too much. You're just going to actually take away your power. So make sure you start with a light weight. You're not trying to impress your body. You just want to develop body mechanics, the fluidity of the movement. And add just a little bit of weight so you can feel how your body is going to naturally throw the punch forward. So that is the second exercise. And stay tuned, I'll show you a bit more. Here's another exercise you can do with exercise number one. If you have one of these resistance bands, which are not that expensive to get, you can tie it to something that's solid and that doesn't move. And you can do the exercise. So just imagine your target is over there. This will be directly behind you. I will put it directly behind the shoulder. My shoulder is in line with this cable. And now practice the rotation like this. And now what happens is now you're going to kind of tighten it up. Keep your elbow lower. Keep relaxed when you do it. Keep relaxed, want to engage your whole body when you do it. So that's one way to do it. The second way of doing it is doing reverse. So you start with an extended and go backwards. So you train the stabilization muscles. That'll help you train the balance and the stabilization. The third way of doing this is to do what you call the static training. Pull it there. Like that. Focus on your balance. Focus on your relaxation. Try to find your position in your body that requires the least effort to hold the cable in position. We can also do it in reverse.  A minute or so you can do that easily at home. So those are some more exercises you can do to help you develop the rotational power. So here's another way of doing it. You can do it in reverse. There's a reverse static. I'm using my left hand so that you can see. Like that. So just imagine you punched it. And now this is before you punch it. So we're going to just hold it there. So just hold it for about a minute or longer if you want. If you want to make it more difficult, you can instead of using one side of the cable, you can use both sides of the cable like this. Just make sure that it doesn't fall over. I would put this on a telephone pole or something, something that's not going to move. And you do the same thing. You can push this way. Slip three floors out. Hard to do. Or you can do the pulling one.  Actually twice is hard. Because you have twice as much cable. Here it doesn't matter. So you can do that practice. Come back and we'll show you the next exercise. Now these resistance bands are pretty useful because you can either tie it to something. If you're at the gym, there's probably a lot of equipment that you can put it on and just wrap it around. It's also good because if you don't have anything to wrap it around, you can just do it against your own resistance. So you can actually do like a bolt effect. Pull this one way. Pull this way. Like a punch. Like a bow and arrow. Which would actually help you increase your strength too. So that's a few more tips for you how to use a resistance band. If you have more questions, you want to learn more exercises about the resistance band. We have a lot of those too. So make sure you comment and tell us what you want to see. See if you're David's son. Check it in again. Now the only move you need to know is a palm. I call it the palm fist. It's all about showing him all your teeth. You must show the opponent your teeth and this is what Bruce Lee did back in his chase back. What did you do? What? Green mark. What are you talking about dad? You see this? Yeah, I can see that. That's pretty good. Welcome back. Now we're going to talk about exercise number three to add your punching power. So the next one is going to be expansion and contraction exercise. Just like doing a fly dumbbell fly but then you don't need the actual dumbbells. We want to be able to expand your chest to get your flexibility. So we're going to open up your chest as far as possible and then we're going to close our chest as far as possible. You can even grab your own back like this. Like you're making out with someone. Try to reach as far as you can. Expand everything like this. Look up. Expand your abs. Stretch backwards. Stretching backwards. Like this. You can feel a nice stretch in your chest and your abs. Even your neck. This is not a technique. It's just an exercise. I'm not going to ask you to punch someone like this. Stupid. People are going to see that. That's not the point. The point is this is a exercise. Just an exercise. Don't do this. Then punch someone like that. Okay? So, now, being sad, just stretch as far as you can. Hold it for a minute. Okay? Relax. You feel a stretch here. You feel a stretch here. You feel a stretch on your shoulders and your pecs here. Okay? And then bend backwards like that. Nice stretch. Okay? And then now, stretch the other direction. You want to curl up as much as you can. Okay? Feel the stretch on your shoulders. Curling in together. Feel the neck pulling in. What this is, is it increases your flexibility in the expansion-correct contraction.  Well, in addition to the rotation, in addition to the mass moving of the mass, which combines the mass and rotation, there's an extra little bit of body mechanic in there, which is expansion-contraction. Okay? So, if you put it all together, it's got to look something like this. This is exaggerating. Don't do this in a real punch. Okay? Expanding. Rotate. Contraction. See that? I'll do it this way. You expand it. This is just a demonstration. Expand it. You're rotating. And then contract it. So you have this power, too. You add a little bit more power by using all these other muscles. And there's another body mechanic that you add to the other body mechanics. And you can coordinate all together. Now you can add even more mass and more force into your attack. So, just to get used to the expansion-contraction, we're going to do that. Okay? And come back. We'll show you some more advanced ways to take that to the next level. Welcome back. So now we do exercise three. Adding the resistance band is a really, is a really good exercise to train that. Okay? So we're going to expand with the band. Like that. Okay? Make it harder. You're going to hold closer like this. And there you go. Extract. Expand. Extract. You don't even need to go to the gym to do this. You just need one of these bands. Anything elastic? And just practice that. And you get the backward expansion. Leave this. Very easy to do. We're going to make sure you coordinate everything. Try to feel relaxed. Don't overdo it. Okay? Now, the next one is going backwards. And it's probably easier if you have two cables, that this will be a lot better. Grab another cable and then we'll show you how to do this one. So like I mentioned, you can do this exercise with this cable. Like in the gym, you see those big racks with the, I'm going to call it the fly rack or something. Right? You can use that but that's expensive, right? So the easy way to do is just get two cables like this. And then, basically, stand in front of them and move back a bit. So that you start with the expanded thing. And then you just kind of move in and then see if the machine doesn't fall. It doesn't fall down. Okay, so very, expand as much as you can with the backwards and then crunch as hard. You know, crunch together.  Okay? Get that full range of motion.  And do too much of that. It's good for building bigger muscles but because you're isolating. But the problem with that is then you don't train to use your whole body. Okay? So it's very important to learn how to use your whole body to coordinate the whole movement of your entire skeletal structure and ligaments at the same time. And, like I said, you're not going to punch anywhere like this, but the point is so that you can develop the flexibility and develop the fluid movement and the body mechanics that's going to utilize your whole body instead of isolating. So you can get more power in your punch, okay? So that's very simple. You can do that. We've got two cables. So the little tip is that you don't need to have two cables on the same strike. It actually might be better to get one that's weaker than the other. And the reason why is because it causes you, forces you to learn how to balance yourself. The longer one on one side and the weaker one on one side. And you're doing this exercise, you'll feel more work out on one side of your body, which is good because now your other side of your body has to learn how to balance the other side. You're forced to do that. So once you do it this way, you can switch the heavy cable to this way on this side and then put the light cable on this side. So it actually increases your core stability just at the same time. Okay, so that's the third exercise. Now this is the drill you can do with a punching bag or with someone holding a pad. So we did the expansion contraction. So now we're going to make it into a punch. Develop that body mechanics and then start to fine tune it into a natural punch. Okay, so now your punch, this is just a drill. Like I said, you're not going to punch like this. Like that. I punched it that way. But this is just a drill so you get the mechanic. So we're going to do expansion and contraction. Expansion and contraction. Okay.  But that's not the point right now. The point is how you can develop the body mechanics. Because if you get really good at it, it can only be something like this. Did you see the expansion there? Did you see it? You did, right? But then, because I did it quickly. All right. So when you do it big, you train your body to use this body mechanic to the point that you can actually do it in a very small space. Okay. And then it becomes less telegraphic once you get good at it. Okay. So that is the drill. Let's show you a few more times. So expand and then contract as much as you can. Grab your hands around the body if you want to. Okay. Just for the drill. So you just do using the whole range of motion. Okay. So that's doing it. Now you can do it this foot forward because that's where you're going to end up. You know what you can do. And then come back to show you how to combine all those three exercises into one motion to get a really, really powerful knockout punch. Welcome back. So now we did all those exercises in isolation. So now we're going to put them all together so that we can make it into one smooth motion. Okay. So we're going to start with this. Just for the sake of this exercise to get the maximum power, we're going to do a full rotation backwards. This is rotation as you start the rotation, you go into exercise two. As it's going to do exercise two, you expand it and then it goes into exercise two. So now it becomes one smooth motion. Okay. Just like this. So, start like this. And then do like that. Okay.  So slow motion. I start my rotation. I expand my chest. I jump into it. As I land, as I start to step my foot down, this is when I start the contraction. Slow motion. And very important is to add the breathing. So take a deep breath and breathe it out. Like that. Nice and relaxed. Remember the acceleration part. Make sure that you celebrate. And then make sure you have nice thick skin on your knuckles. Or your knuckles are going to start your skin coming out. Okay. All right. So what you do is is you're doing a lot of punches every day. I recommend wearing gloves. Because if you don't, you're going to have this. Okay. So I've been training a lot. Thick knuckles, people tell me, like stones. But now everybody's going to have that. So wear gloves. Okay. But for now, we're just going to do this. So like I said, we're going to do the rotation, expansion, and then do the hop and then do the contraction. Okay. So that's what you do. So imagine you have a door. This is the hinge and you are slamming the door over here. All right. And you want to add acceleration. The speed to be the highest right when you make impact. Okay. So you want to kind of build up the speed and whip it into your target. All right. So, relax. And to increase power, like I said, instead of increasing force, just focus on increasing the acceleration. Okay. So every practice, this body mechanic, combined with all three of the exercises that we did, make it nice and smooth. That's why it's important to practice slow. Obviously, we're rushing to it. But the reason you want to practice slow is so that you can coordinate it. So everything flows together. So you don't lose power along the chain. Because this is a chain, right? Chain number one, chain number two, chain number three. So you lose power and it leaks out in the chain then there's less power that's coming through. So if you practice it slow, it smooths out the chain. So that's more efficient. Okay. So you don't lose the power. You don't waste energy. Okay. So do it slow. And once you can do it slow, then all you need to do is add speed and then get more power naturally. So you can see I'm not adding more damage, more force. I'm just adding more speed into the chain. And you can feel that's basically enough over here. So if you want to develop the most powerful punch, this is just one technique is to switch leads and actually do a big bunch of throwing punch. It's not going to work all the time because it's a long, this is a slow punch. But in this video we're just talking about how to punch harder, right? You want to punch it hard as possible. This is one technique that can get you the most powerful punch.

Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you some of the major news developments from across the world. Our headlines. All four police officers involved in George Floyd's death have been charged. Over a dozen homes have been demolished in the occupied Palestinian territories. Argentinian feminists and LGBTQI movements commemorate the Ni'una Menos anniversary. We begin with an update from the United States where protests against police killings and racism continue. All four of the expelled Minneapolis police officers accused in the killing of George Floyd are to be indicted under various charges of murder. The announcement was made by Minnesota's state attorney General Keith Ellison on June 3. Derek Chauvin, the prime accused in the case, will now be charged with second-degree murder. Earlier, third-degree murder charges had been pressed against him. The other three police officers will be charged with different counts of aiding and abetting a second-degree murder and homicide. The police officers kill Floyd while trying to arrest him. Derek Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes. The announcement of the charging of the officers comes after eight days of country-wide protests triggered by Floyd's death. The four police officers were expelled within hours after video footage of the violent arrest attempt at his death went viral. However, only Chauvin was initially charged. The US is reported anywhere between 900 to 1000 cases of police killings annually since 2015. In 2019 alone, law enforcement officers killed over 1,100 people while on duty. In the past six years, however, prosecutions took place in only around 4% of these cases and less than 1% ended in convictions. In the entire state of Minnesota, where Floyd was killed, only one police officer has been convicted in this period for killing someone on duty. However, the protesters are determined to seek justice. The number of arrests in these protests has risen to nearly 9,000. In our infocus section, we bring you an interview with Abitit author Vijay Prashad in Scotland on Chomsky on the protests as well as the policies of President Donald Trump. As we are talking, the streets of the United States are on fire. People have decided that they're just not going to take it after the murder of George Floyd and even liberals seem to be losing patience. I read George Packer, he wrote an article with the title, We Are Living in a Failed State. It's quite astounding to see a liberal write about the failed state and of course, it's heartbreaking to see the murder of another African American, but then to see people come on the street.  Well, actually, what's happening does give a sense of hope. First of all, the murder of George Floyd is not an unusual event. I mean, events like this used to happen pretty frequently and nobody paid any attention to them. What's encouraging, hard to say this in the midst of these horrors, but what's encouraging is there is a reaction that shows that there has been a kind of improvement in the level of civilization in the country, things that passed under the radar before at least a lot of people notice. No, they didn't protest before, but they're protesting now. But let me say a word of criticism about it. I don't understand it, sympathize with it, good thing. But notice the focus on the few policemen. One of them is a murderer, three others stood by and did nothing. And there's a lot of denunciations of those three who stood by, but it's useful every once in a while to look into the mirror. Can you think of anyone else who's stood by for actually all of our lifetimes long before while all these things are happening and didn't do anything? People like me, for example, and the rest of us, what have we done to alleviate the circumstances that lead to this? I guess we can certainly blame the policemen for standing by, but there's a deeper problem, deeply ingrained in white society. Even people who are activists and protesters, we pretty much stood by. The protests today are very reminiscent of others. So in 1992 after the Rodney King murder by police in Los Angeles, after the policemen who killed him were released from the court without any punishment, there were huge protests. A week of protests, I think about 60 people were killed, federal troops were brought in. The effect, as usual, was to shift public attention to rioters. We have to have more law and order, more force. It's the typical response to protests that become violent. We're reliving it, except now there's more protest. And I should say this raises a question that activists should ask themselves. They should always ask themselves. You have to distinguish between tactics that make you feel good and tactics that actually do good. The ones that make you feel good are easy. Like if I can break a window and show how angry I am, it makes me feel good. Is it doing good? No, it's a gift to President Trump and the right wing. They love it. And so it's maybe hard to restrain yourself in times of bitterness and horror and crisis. If you ask yourself what am I trying to achieve, the answer of what to do is quite clear. Over time, consistently, nonviolent protests, which are hard to courage or strength, these have shifted opinion and support of the cause we're advancing. Violent protests consistently have been a gift to the harsher, more brutal elements in society. And you have to think about that if you're serious about the cause. It's hard, it's not easy. It's easy to sympathize with, especially blacks, that the Buddha on their neck for 400 years, you know, can't criticize any reaction. But on the part of others, they should really be thinking about these things. Even a dozen Palestinian homes were destroyed by Israeli occupation forces in various parts of the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. Most of the demolitions happened near Jericho City, where occupation forces destroyed seven homes and animal shelters. Another affected area was the Masafariata neighborhood in the south of Hebron. The neighborhood falls within the area's sea jurisdiction of the West Bank, which is solely controlled by Israel. It has been targeted by the Israeli military and settlers in the past. The demolition drive is taking place in areas which are part of the proposed annexation of the Jordan Valley by Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to annex these areas by July. On June 1st, the occupation authorities issued an order to demolish more than 200 Palestinian structures in the Wadi El Jaws area of occupied East Jerusalem. Alleged lack of permits, perceptional security threats and various other excuses have been used as a justification to demolish these homes and property. Palestinians are also being arrested in large numbers ever since the annexation plans became public. Such acts are intended to force these Palestinians off their land and have been compared to ethnic cleansing drives. And finally, this Wednesday, Argentine social media was painted with pink and green, colours of the country's feminist movement. June 3rd marked the 5th anniversary of the formation of the Neu Unamers or not one woman-less movement.  Thousands of citizens, feminists, LGBTQI activists, leftists, social movements and trade union members joined the virtual demonstration. People shared messages over social media to raise awareness on violence against women and trans persons. Neu Unamers began in 2015 as an initiative by a group of feminist journalists, activists and artists who felt the need to organise against feminists, sexual abuse and other forms of violence against women. With overwhelming support, the movement quickly expanded and became a collective campaign for various women, LGBTQI people and social movements. Data from June 2015 to May 2020 shows that around 1,450 feminists were reported throughout the country. In other words, a woman died every 30 hours in Argentina. The data also showed that 45% of the women were murdered by their partners, 31% by their ex-partners and 15% by family members. It also indicated that 64% of these murders occurred inside the victim's own house, 25% in public places and 3% happened at the aggressor's house. That's all we have in this episode's International Daily Roundup. To know more about these stories, visit our website peoplesdispatch.org and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Thanks for watching.


Does it feel like we have enough air? Let me check this place with gas. The maintenance ship will fix the permissibility problem. I scattered all the rock dust I could find. The reasons for coal mine explosions are well known and can be separated into these four areas. Ventilation, examinations, ignition sources, rock dusting. Preventing a coal mine explosion requires you and your fellow miners to pay special attention to these four areas. Let's take the four areas, discuss them, and turn them into your four lines of defense against a mine explosion. Hello, my name is Bob Painter. I'd like to talk to you about your four lines of defense to prevent an explosion at the coal mine you work in. During the winter months, as you well know, coal mining becomes a more difficult job. The coal-dry winter air tests your endurance, especially when leaving and entering the mine at man-trip time. We also know the same winter conditions causes changes to the conditions in the mine, and those changes can result in an increased risk of a mine explosion. Let me explain. During the winter months, a natural and more frequent lowering of the barometric pressure occurs. As the barometer drops, methane is liberated more freely from the coal bed and surrounding strata. Methane also can accumulate to dangerous levels more quickly. Your first line of defense against methane accumulations is adequate ventilation directed to the working section and gob areas. Good ventilation requires properly installed and maintained stoppings, curtains, regulators, and keeping airways free of obstructions. To demonstrate this point, let's look at a typical layout of a mine. If you think about it, your mine probably has a section or sections very similar to this. And deep within the inaccessible areas of the mine, such as the interior of the gob, or even at the pillar line, quantities of methane gas represented here by a green symbol may reach explosive concentrations. What part does weather play in all of this? During warmer weather, when the barometric pressure is higher, the concentrations of methane gas are more easily controlled. However, when the weather is cold and the barometric pressure falls, methane can increase within the gob, causing an increased problem with the control of methane. The potential is greater for methane to migrate into the active working areas and come into contact with an ignition source. To prevent the excessive build-up of methane and the possibility of it spreading out into the working areas an effective ventilation system must be established and maintained. Ventilation is the lifeline of underground mining systems that help protect miners from explosion and fires. Shown here are bleeder entries around the perimeter of the gob area. As a part of the ventilation system, bleeder entries normally allow methane in the gob to be directed away from the work areas and to the main return. But, if a critical stopping is damaged or removed, the ventilation is disrupted and the bleeder system is no longer effective. Also, roof falls or other blockage can restrict bleeder air flow, allowing a steady growth in the size of the methane build-up and increasing the possibility of gas contacting an ignition source. If the methane reaches the actual working places and is ignited, the result could be a disastrous explosion. As you know, in coal mining, literally everything is constantly moving and changing. Keen vigilance through examinations is required. Examinations is the line of defense that is the key to assuring the other three lines of defense are in place. Examinations determine that ventilation is adequate and moving in its proper direction. Examinations make sure methane has not accumulated to dangerous levels. And, examinations assures that ignition sources are eliminated or controlled. A number of examinations are required, pre-shifts, on-shifts, 20-minute gas checks, weekly exams for hazardous conditions, weekly electrical exams, and others. The importance here is the examinations have to be conducted and conducted completely. Historically, most mine explosions occurred during the winter months. This chart lists selected coal mine explosions from 1980 to 1995, where five or more miners have died in the explosion. Note that six of the eight occurred during the winter alert period months. In all of these explosions, one or more of the lines of defense had broken down. Methane and coal dust won't explode without help. And ignition sources required. Electrical sources, misuse of explosives, or smoking underground are three sources you can control. By following safety regulations, electrical equipment at the face, ignitions from use of explosives, and smoking are eliminated as sources. A great deal of research has gone into controlling electrical sources. The Bureau of Mines conducted research into ways of making face equipment safe. This research led to what we now have as permissible equipment. Well, the Bureau of Mines introduced the process of permissibility in 1911, and it was a result of open flame ignitions, such as you would get from carbide lamp illumination, black potter blasting. Those kinds of things caused many disasters to occur underground in coal mines. Electrification of coal mines introduced another process by which explosions could occur by virtue of electrical sparks. Permissibility means that you would do things like making the gaps, the openings, fittings so small and very precise, such that an internal gas ignition won't escape the enclosure and ignite the surrounding atmosphere. You never underplay the importance of maintaining these machines in a permissible condition. This has to be done, otherwise the permissibility plate doesn't prevent explosions. It merely tells you this machine was built properly, but you as a mine operator have to make this thing work day in and day out, and it has to be maintained in a permissible condition. You just can't underplay the point, it's extremely important. Your line of defense here requires you to maintain face equipment in permissible condition in order to control these ignition sources. Smoking underground was determined to be the ignition source at three of the most recent fatal coal mine explosions. Safety regulations prohibit the taking of smoking materials underground. The line of defense here is for all of us, miners, operators and inspectors, to assure the elimination of smoking underground as an ignition source. It's really up to each individual to eliminate this ignition source. In the winter, the ventilating air current pulls moisture from the mine, drying out the mine dust including the coal dust. Dry coal dust is a serious concern. Remember, the mine is drying out during the winter months, and coal dust in most mines is highly explosive. Rock dusting is your line of defense to eliminate coal dust as a concern. The explosive properties of coal dust has been thoroughly tested for many years by the United States Bureau of Mines. We talked with researchers who conducted these tests. In addition to methane, an even more dangerous substance is generated when mining coal, and that substance is coal dust, and it is an unavoidable byproduct of the mining operations. Dust is always created during coal cutting, coal handling, and the movement of men and machinery. The larger coal dust particles settle out of suspension very quickly while the fine particles known as float coal are entrained and carried by the ventilating air for long distances. The dust settles on rib, roof, and floor surfaces all along the ventilation path. The danger of an un-neutralized float dust deposit lies in the fact that this surface layer of dust can be preferentially skimmed off the rock dust sub-layer, dispersed in the mine atmosphere, and will explode with a tremendous violence. Brewston Experimental Mine Testing at the Pittsburgh Research Center has shown that float coal dust layers as thick as a tenth of a millimeter or about the equivalent of the thickness of a sheet of paper is capable of propagating flame for over three times the length of the dust deposit. Yes, there's been many large-scale explosions conducted at Brewston Experimental Mine using float coal dust. A dramatic explosion occurred on April Fool's Day, 1969, when we were conducting a series of experiments to evaluate the hazards associated with different thicknesses of float coal dust accumulation. So in that day, we boosted the coal dust thickness layer up to about two sheets of paper, and to our surprise, it took off and started to propagate down the entry. It destroyed all our pressure-sensoring sensing equipment. The microwave exited the portal and broke the windows for seven miles around the grounds, and it was heard 30 miles away. Frequent and liberal applications of rock dust to the mine floor, roof, and ribs is needed to control coal dust. Methane and coal dust are an unavoidable part of coal mining, but both can be controlled. Maintain adequate ventilation and ventilation controls to control methane. Conduct the required examinations and ensure that ventilation is adequate. No methane accumulations have occurred, that ignition sources are controlled or eliminated, and that rock dusting is up to par. Keep your equipment in permissible condition. Use explosives in a permissible manner, and don't tolerate smoking in the mine. Rock dust all the mine surfaces liberally and frequently, especially in the belt and return entry. This winter, maintain the four lines of defense at the mine where you work.
