In our previous video, we talked about a right rotation. Well, that's not the only rotation. Say for example, we have over here, we actually have now in our case a right heavy tree. But say for example, I were to come in, and I were to make an insert 8. All right, well, binary search tree rules apply. I would see that I'm greater than 5, greater than 6, greater than 7, and so since 7 has no children, I would come in and give it an 8. Now, the other aspect that we have to look at when we're dealing with an AVL tree is every node that happened to be affected by that, we have to recalculate out their balance. So in this case, we see that 8 has a balance factor of 0, and this is because there are no nodes for 8 to kind of go to afterwards. The balance factor for 7, well, it doesn't have anything going on here. So technically, we would classify this as a 0 for our left, and so right minus left, 1 minus 0. It does have a 1 here. Again, it is a right heavy subtree, if you will. But for our sake, that's still perfectly fine. But as we move up a little further, all right, well, we see the difference coming on here. You see, if we thought about that 7 and that being sort of an invisible node that had a balance factor of 0, I have another invisible node right here. That's the sibling of 7. That also has a balance factor of 0. So when I start to calculate out sort of the depths between 6 and 7, or the left node and the right node, for my balance factor here on my 6, I see that I'm going to have going down 1 and 2. So my right node can go down two times, and my left node can go 0 times. And so my balance factor is at 2. It's a positive 2. So it's a little too heavy. Now, like I was saying, what we can do with this is we can still do that idea of a rotation. Instead of doing a right rotation, like we did in our last video, we can do a left rotation. So the entire premise is once again, we take our nodes, our heaviest node, and our parent, and we simply rotate to the left. Now, the same principle that we were seeing when we deal with a right rotation comes into play. I have some parent node, and it has some child x. Now, the parent node and the child node, if you will, also have some subtrees. These subtrees are acting as potential children that might also be existing inside of our overall tree. And so we can label them out as t1, t2, and t3. Now, the idea with that left rotation, just like we see I have that arrow pointing over here, we're going to take our child node, and it's going to become the parent of our parent node, our previous parent node. These subtrees still need to find themselves in the correct place. So the t1, as we notice, has to be less than y, and it's also less than x, because everything to the right of y is greater, everything to the left of x is less than, and everything to the right of x is greater than. So what we'll see happen when we do this left rotation is, again, y is going to become the child, x is going to become the parent, and these t1, t2, t3 subtrees have to go in some way. Well, y happens to have the ability to house two children, and x only has the ability to house one other child, aside from y. So again, as I was saying, t1 has to be less than y, and if it's to the left of y, that means it's also less than x. So we can give t1 to y. Same thing can actually happen right here, just like we saw with the right rotation. That t2, that middle, is exactly that. You can sort of see that approach going on right here, that in this nice little wiggle room, we see that we're greater than y, but still less than x. I'm to the right of y, and I'm still to the left of x. So t2 can find itself here. Finally, at t3, we already established was larger than x, so we can just go ahead and put it to the right of x. So let's actually take this idea, this left rotation, and apply it to our example here. So as we said, I'll just kind of move down a little bit. Five has no change. Same thing is happening with two. Those aren't really being affected. It's now a matter of what we're doing here and what kind of occurs in our sort of arc. So if we were kind of labeling things out, that parent child is my y, that x, that heavy node, the heavier node is our x, and same kind of thing. We have a t1, t2, and t3 that still need to get applied. So we could say, for example, this is my t1, this is my t2, and this is my t3. As we can see, we still have that same kind of approach being made. I can take the same model we have here. Two isn't being applied. Five isn't being applied. However, once again, I take my x and it becomes the new parent. My left child is going to become the y, the y, and t1 and t2 are going to y. Well, t2 and t1 and t2 are blank. So I don't have to do much there. However, I do have a t3. So I just come in and I make my eight. Once I've made this change, I do still need to check myself, did I make a good enough fix? So in this case, the balance factors of eight and six, luckily are zero, since they are leaf nodes. And if I check the balance factor of seven, 0 minus 0, or 1 minus 1, sorry, 1 minus 1, it gets a zero. And so as a result, we can see that our tree has now become balanced.


All right, so time for our last speaker for this session. So I'd like to invite Caitlin Hare up to talk about systematic online living evidence summaries. Welcome Caitlin. So hi everyone, it's great to be here and thanks so much to those of you who are here for this last talk of MetaScience. Thanks for sticking around. So I'm Caitlin Hare, I'm a postdoc at the University of Edinburgh and I work in the Camarades research group there. And today I'm going to be talking about systematic online living evidence summaries or souls for short. And in my talk today I'm going to talk a little bit about evidence synthesis and the current limitations of evidence synthesis when we think about systematic reviews. Then I'm going to talk a bit about how souls can overcome some of those barriers and hopefully tackle the challenges that we face. And some other aspects of what we're trying to say. With souls projects you can kind of go beyond evidence synthesis as well and look at other things and explore the data a bit more than you would be able to without automation tools. So let me get started with my first slide. So I'm starting up my talk with an assumption that scientific advancement should proceed based on what we already know. I think most of the people in this room would probably agree with this statement. But actually figuring out what we already know is a huge problem and it's kind of a science in itself which is why we're here. And trying to figure out what we already know really requires some evidence synthesis techniques like systematic reviews for example. And we've identified when we've been doing our research over a number of years in preclinical meta research and doing systematic reviews in that area. We've kind of highlighted three key limitations or challenges to traditional systematic review approaches. The first is that there's a struggle to keep up with the pace of evidence generation. Systematic reviews are really resource and time intensive as we all know and especially in research intensive areas there's just so many new papers being published every year it's really difficult to keep up with. A few examples just to illustrate this from Cochrane systematic reviews research has shown that over 50% were published more than two years after the original protocol. That actually doesn't seem that long to me but I guess it depends on how many papers you have in your systematic review. Some of the systematic reviews in our group have definitely taken a lot longer than that. Another piece of research showed that over 85% of those reviews haven't been updated for more than five years. And updating a systematic review can actually be sometimes just as difficult as starting from scratch especially if there's just so much new evidence being published since you did the original review. The second limitation is that there's sometimes a failure to capture all of the available evidence. We found this particularly in our research area so we're focusing on animal experiments and in vitro experiments and trying to review that data and anyone who's read those sort of articles will know that there's not just one experiment in a paper, sometimes there's like four, five, six and there's not just one Pico element, there's so many, there's so many outcome measures, sometimes there's multiple treatments, sometimes there's even multiple animal models. And what happens is when authors come to write up these papers, not all of that information is gonna be present in the title or abstract or even the keywords. So we've found that by relying on databases like PubMed, Web of Science, we're actually missing huge chunks of the relevant literature because an outcome is buried somewhere in the full text of the paper. We've also shown that for when we're screening title and abstracts, we sometimes exclude significant proportions of relevant studies because it's not clear from the title and abstract that that study would be relevant to our review. And thirdly, I think there's a bit of a lack of coordination. So there can be, there's a couple of ways that this manifests. So firstly, there might be too many systematic reviews in one area and not enough in a given, in another area. And another thing that happens, which I think is quite interesting, given that we're all kind of interested in reducing research waste, I think a form of research waste quite often happens where one research group will extract lots of data from hundreds of different studies and then maybe they don't put that data anywhere. And then another systematic review group somewhere else is doing a review that kind of, maybe is not completely the same but has some overlap with that original review but has to be extract that data from the beginning again. So I think sometimes we need to maybe work in a more coordinated way towards better evidence synthesis approaches and actually covering all of the topics that we want to cover. So there's been a number of things proposed to improve evidence synthesis and we heard about some of them in the last talk as well. So things like living systematic reviews which can harness automation tools and crowdsourcing to try and produce reviews that are updated either in real time or maybe every month or every year in a much easier way than we currently update systematic reviews. And another thing is things like evidence gap maps which help us visualize the research landscape. So those sort of bubble plots that you see with larger bubbles indicating lots of evidence in a certain research area and less evidence in another area represented by a smaller bubble. And usually they're on a sort of broad research question as well. So taking together these two concepts in the past few years our research group has been working towards building souls projects which essentially kind of they borrow concepts from both but basically we're trying to bring in data from a really broad research domain. So for example a disease like Alzheimer's disease we try and bring in all the evidence in Alzheimer's disease. We tag it, categorize it, curate it and then feed it into a database and visualize it in an interactive web application for research users to interrogate. So we have a preprint out about this that I recommend you reading if you want to understand more about the technical aspects that I don't have time to go into. But at a very basic level there's a systematic search performed for each of the souls projects on a weekly basis using application programming interfaces to pull in recent citations. They're automatically de-duplicated. We have machine learning classifiers for each souls project to screen for relevance. And then we have a range of natural language processing tools that can tag for things like reporting of risk of bias, PICO elements, so outcome measures, interventions, populations. Also things about the transparency of a paper, so whether there was an open data statement for example or whether it was open access. This annotated data set is put into SQL database and that sits behind the interactive web application. We've done this already across a number of research areas so we've done it in COVID-19, we've done it in stroke, Alzheimer's disease, we're now doing it across lots of different mental health topics. One of the more recent ones was in pesticides. So we worked with a EU funded consortia called Sprint who are interested in the harms of pesticides on human health, animal health and the environment. And that was a really rewarding project because the souls that we built kind of allowed them to do rapid reviews in their area which they were struggling to do just because of the sheer volume of evidence that they had to sift through. So souls allow us to hopefully keep up with the literature and this is just a screenshot from one of the souls showing you how many new citations have been uploaded each week. They allow us to look at a visual summary of the evidence by different Pico elements. So for example you could see how many studies look at a certain outcome measure or how many maybe look at a certain treatment for example and there's all different ways to visualize this. Importantly we look at the full text of the study so we don't have that title abstract problem. We have evidence gap maps kind of embedded within the souls platforms as well. So this is an example where we have, you probably can't see it, but we have outcome measures on the y-axis and your behavioral outcome measures that are common in animal models and then all of the different interventions along the x-axis so that you can see where the gaps are. The idea behind souls, and I was really inspired by the previous talk because I wish we could do that. I wish we could get the data from these publications because that would really take souls to the next level. Unfortunately there's too much variation in the way that figures are reported right now but maybe in the future. So at the moment they can't really replace systematic reviews or meta-analyses. The idea behind souls is more to act as an accelerated starting point for people doing systematic reviews where they can search the souls database, filter studies and download a curated citation list that's hopefully gonna contain more of the research that they're interested in and hopefully more relevant research as well. And I think it's the idea that maybe not every research group doing systematic reviews will have access to automated tools so we kind of wanted to do a bit of work for the wider community. Going further I just wanted to mention three extra things that souls can do quickly that we maybe hadn't originally intended them to do. The first thing is that they can help benchmark research improvement so because we look at things like risk of bias reporting and transparency we're starting to look at the trends over time and get some quite interesting data about that. I think they can also be used for community building and coordination. As I mentioned the sprint project earlier we actually tracked progress of that project on the souls application for sprint and we had a leaderboard and I think kind of going forward into the future I would like to think about how this could be used for building communities around systematic review and given research areas. Most recently just in the past few months we've actually started thinking about how we might merge together souls and build the metasoles across different research areas because what we find quite often is actually the same outcomes are measured across different research silos. So if you're interested in Alzheimer's disease maybe the way that they induce a model in Alzheimer's disease might be quite similar to how they're inducing a model of schizophrenia elsewhere. Sometimes there's these parallels that we don't even realize because we're so focused on our own research domain when we're doing a systematic review. So we've been trying to put the souls together and we've started to map across the shared compounds, gene targets and underlying biological pathways across different research areas as a means of future hypothesis generation as well. And it could be used for things like potentially drug repurposing and all sorts of hypotheses around that. So that's my last slide. I just wanna thank all of you for listening and the organizers for the chance to talk today. I also want to say massive thank you to the Cameradis group in Edinburgh and across the world. All of the funders that made this work possible. And finally I forgot to put my email on the slide but there's not that many Katelyn here's in the world actually. So if you just Google me, you can find my email or come and talk to me after. I'd love to hear what you think about all this, so thank you. Thank you. And I think we have time for one quick question. Fantastic talk Katelyn, thank you so much. I was wondering, one of the things that we've seen some studies about is how is the impact of retractions of papers on the conclusions of systematic reviews which is not addressed at the moment. Does, do your tools allow us to start tackling that problem? That's a really good question. We've grappled with this as well because at the moment, Retraction Watch which is kind of the main repository for all this stuff. Oh. They, we have not been able to sort of work with them directly or get an API to directly access their database. So we have done some sort of manual checking and one of the PhD students in the group is actually quite focused on this and she's been trying to work on a way to automatically detect retractions in other ways. For example, if they're in the title or somewhere else in one of the databases, then it would be flagged as a retraction. So long story short, it's in progress and we're aware of that and we want to include it in soul soon. Thank you, Katelyn. Thank you to all of our speakers in this session, all the sessions and thank you all for being here.


Welcome and aloha My name is Mark schlaufe. I am the host of think tech Hawaii's law across the sea program Today we will go across the sea to Seattle To talk with Dan Harris the founder of Harris Brickin an international law firm with offices in Seattle and other US cities And also in foreign countries with cities like Barcelona and Beijing hosting their law firms Dan and other lawyers in his firm share their extensive knowledge and experience on their website blogs The firms China law blog is one of my favorites It's a great source of information and intellectual discussion about law and business in China Dan says that keeping it simple is what works I've asked him to share his knowledge and experience and the insights Gain from him his firms international law practice and To keep it simple Aloha Dan, how are you? Good. How are you mark? Okay? All right, and I don't feel appropriate to say aloha because I Don't I think my sweater compared to your Aloha shirt really evidences the difference. That's a little colder in Seattle. I guess, huh? Yeah, I'm just assuming it is Okay now Tell us a little bit about your firm first Harris Brickin what what it is how many offices you have Where and and what it does give us a little background, please Sure We think of ourselves as a small to mid-sized firm. We have about 35 lawyers offices in Seattle Portland Los Angeles basically along the coast and Also in Beijing and Barcelona because so much of our work involves China and Spain and what we do is help foreign companies Navigate the United States and We help American and European companies navigate Asia Okay, and I you know in you also do some work in Latin America. I understand from your website and Cannabis law I Mean that's a little interesting especially for us in the 60s, but what what is that all about? What is Latin American law? What what do you do there? Well, Latin America has become sort of a logical extension. We're actually working on Opening an office in Mexico City, which we hope to do fairly soon. What's happened there is Our Spain work is pushing us to Latin America And in the last year and a half or so our Asia work has been pushing us to Latin America as well because so many of our clients that manufacture in China are looking to get out of China and we're very bullish on Mexico and Colombia and various other countries in Latin America and so we're doing more and more in Latin America and previously we've done quite a bit with Latin American companies going into Asia where we've represented them Well, that's really interesting. I'm sorry. Yeah, go go on to the cannabis boat that Latin America is really interesting To hear now what's happening in real time that China Business contacts are interested in Latin America that that's an interesting in insight. Yeah, but Because just about 10 minutes ago, I finished reading an article in Forbes I can repose one of their senior contributors who If I were to summarize his article, it's basically China is done over to put as an international manufacturing center and he is Positing that Mexico is going to be the country that most benefits from that and that has been our position as well We're not saying China is completely done It will never be completely done, but a lot of companies view the coronavirus as simply the last straw in terms of their Manufacturing in China and certainly in terms of they're doing all their manufacturing in China Okay. Now, what about cannabis law that I mean, I was a little bit surprised to see that on your website What does that mean? Well, it means that I believe it was back in 2009 We had a Dutch client that Essentially insisted we needed to get into the cannabis business. This was a large relatively large Dutch cannabis company and they were telling us that Washington State was going to be at the forefront of this and My first thought was well, that's ridiculous and then we determined that wasn't so ridiculous so we helped them and one thing led to another and We became essentially the first and biggest cannabis business law firm in the state of Washington basically in 2010 and That practice has spread to Oregon and California as well We have a blog the Canada law blog that writes about this and now our big push is Internationalization of cannabis because Canada is big Mexico is going legal on a in April So our two neighbors are going to be completely legal China is a huge producer of hemp and CBD products and a lot of cannabis Ancillary products like vape pens Filters, etc are made in China and We're we've done actually a lot of customs work helping clients get their products unstuck from US customs when customs has seized those products Alleging that they're illegal like for instance, we have a big retail cannabis client and their paper bags got seized by customs because they had pot leaves on them and They were saying that the bags were Essentially illegal and our response was no bags cannot paper bags cannot be illegal We could use these or anyone could use these to take their lunch to work or to school and and we ended up getting the paper bags released and so we Formally call ourselves probably the only international cannabis law firm out there because even on the cannabis side So much of our work is International we expect that to only grow as well and and basically it sounds like your job as Cannabis lawyers if you will Is to keep it keep your clients out of trouble keep them legal Whatever they're doing That's our job with all our clients And many respects it's it's really no different with Canada's Even when I mean in countries like Canada it is no different But in in let's say Washington State, Oregon, California where it's legal in the state We make very clear to our clients that it's still federally illegal and we emphasize that if you're in Oregon You have to follow Oregon law Ditto if you're in Washington or in California, okay? I personally don't do cannabis work Well, other than I've helped cannabis manufacturing companies with China Yeah, and and and China is kind of your field, right? I mean, that's your area of your basic area of law, right? Yes, mostly China a little bit of some Vietnam some Cambodia some Thailand a lot of of manufacturing Contracts a lot of intellectual property contracts intellectual property registrations and also Technology licensing yeah, it a lot of it sounds like a lot of what you do is contracts in a way I mean the the the industry may be different But what you're doing is you're negotiating or helping write the contract in China or is that correct? That's that is a lot of what we do. I mean we have At least a dozen lawyers who focus on China most of them are fluent in Chinese and English and We help our clients with whatever help they need in China. I mean we've done M&A deals We have one lawyer whose focus is almost exclusively Employment law in China we draft manufacturing contracts licensing agreements Distribution agreements a lot of what we do in China for our clients is the same Sort of thing that lawyers do for their clients in the United States It's really not as exotic as it sounds. Well on the contract side I'm sorry We just do a lot of it in another language. Yeah. Yeah, and so how do you manage that? I mean your contracts? I mean, is there a problem with that having a contract in Chinese or how do you deal with that? What do you tell your clients about contracts and doing business in China in that respect with respect to the language? Okay, well, it's interesting. You should ask is there a problem doing the contracts in Chinese the answer is no the problem usually arises when American companies put the contracts in English because that causes problems in China American companies and even American lawyers have essentially been trained to Believe that the best court to have a dispute resolved in is the one in your hometown That is not true when dealing with China because if you have a contract with a Chinese company That says the dispute will be resolved in Honolulu or in Seattle And then it's resolved in Honolulu or Seattle. You think you've won a lawsuit. You have won a lawsuit Sort of you've won nine-tenths of the lawsuit You have not won the most important remainder and that is actually setting yourself up to be able to collect And so you win that lawsuit in Seattle or Honolulu Then you take that judgment to China where your Chinese Defendant or counterparty has all its assets You take it to a Chinese court and they won't enforce it. So a good contract 98 times out of a hundred where the Chinese company is one that's written in Chinese Written under Chinese law written for Chinese law for the dispute to be resolved in a Chinese court Sometimes it makes sense for it to be resolved by arbitration But less often than most people would believe and the interesting thing about Chinese courts Is they're way better and way fairer than most people would believe the world bank Last time I looked ranked China something like number 16 as in one six in terms of enforcing contracts and They're pretty good unless you're up against a Really powerful Chinese company in its hometown where it's losing It's losing that case might cause it to have to fire people or be badly harmed Then it gets much more marginal or if you're in a critical Technology field and you're suing a Chinese company for stealing your technology Then you're gonna have a tough time But if you're suing a Chinese company for suing your technology for making shoes and they really did steal it You'll almost certainly went well that that is kind of contrary to what you hear a lot and I guess that comes from your experience and background and What you've learned from actually doing business in China Is that yeah, yeah, that's on the ground experience Yes, but I don't want to denigrate those who say that I mean the word is China steals technology. Yeah, and There's a lot of truth to that but China I mean you really have to look at the technology and what I'm about to say is Commonly believed by lawyers who deal with China a lot and that is some people call it the 90% rule Some call it the 95% rule and that is with most technologies if your Chinese company steals it You can sue and win. It's just things like artificial intelligence robotics cutting-edge Computer chips, etc Something that is really Important to the Chinese government your chances of prevailing are very low Oh Dan I want to take a one-minute break and then we're gonna come back I want to ask you what you tell your clients about that when they come into your office and ask how am I gonna protect My intellectual property, but we'll take a minute break. We'll be right back My show is designed to teach you the simplest and most effective treatment strategies to get you out of pain And if you or someone you know is having pain in a certain area of the body It would like a free assessment in treatment over media or in person and then come on the show to talk about it Email us at think tech movement matters at gmail.com Or if you have a topic you would like to know more about please email us My goal is to decrease pain all over the world Inspiring people to take better care of their bodies to enjoy life to the fullest. I look forward to hearing from you Welcome back. I am talking with Dan Harris founder of Harris brick and law firm He's in Seattle, but his law firm is all over the world basically and I think he's Following his clients and helping them wherever they're being established now Dan when we left off We were talking about intellectual property in China. What do you tell your client? What do you tell your your client comes into the office and says he has this great Idea intellectual property wants to protect it. What what is the reality of that? I mean, I hear you saying what you know interesting that you feel that there's Protection available for certain intellectual property and it's not as bad in courts as you sometimes hear But what do you tell your client coming in about intellectual property protection? I Tell them exactly what I just told you a minute ago And what I also tell them is that even if I'm not a hundred percent right on this What are your options your options are to do something or to do nothing? And I know that I'm a hundred percent right that if you do nothing You will have no recourse if someone steals your intellectual property And so what's really interesting about China is it doesn't have much Law outside of contracts dealing with IP so for instance if you go to a manufacturer and say I'd like you to manufacture These widgets here's a drawing of my widgets And then that manufacturer goes off and Manufacturers through widgets and sells them around the world and doesn't sell you a single one You have a lousy case so You can say that the N and N agreements that we tell you you need these are agreements that you Provide and get signed by your manufacturer before you show them anything it prevents them from competing with you It's a non compete. It's a non disclosure It's a non circumvent so they can't go around you and sell to your clients Which they often have the names of because they directly ship to them if they if you don't get them to sign that I Can guarantee you won't have a good recourse and I can almost guarantee that you'll be facing big problems very shortly so You really do need a contract Also, you really do need to register your trademark in China Even if you're just manufacturing there because if you don't someone else will and They can use your trademark, which isn't yours because it's yours Maybe in the United States or Canada, but not in China They can take that trademark and stop your product from leaving China because your product violates their trademark And so I'm sorry. I kind of I kind of hear you saying We we do as much as we can up front Yes, which is true everywhere in the world I always think I used to start a speech I would give on intellectual property by saying big companies in China want to steal your IP Small companies in China want to steal your IP Medium-sized companies in China want to steal your IP Government owned companies want to steal your IP privately held companies want to steal your IP and That factory owner who you like so much who's invited you to his or her Sons or daughter's wedding that factory owner also wants to steal your IP But I was giving that talk at a law school and afterwards someone came up to me and said they felt that that was too anti-China So now I add a sentence saying this is true everywhere It's just that it's easier to do it in China and in the United States because the laws are not are different So it's not a cultural thing. It's it's human nature Hear you saying I hate it when people say something's a cultural thing It's it's it's human nature coupled with laws if you want to call that legal culture fine I don't know American American culture involves downloading Movies off of for whatever Chinese culture involves the same thing. I think that's human nature Okay, well one thing I found interesting on your website was under your name. You you say keep it simple That's what works. What do you what does that mean? I mean, how can you keep it simple? because people Have this strange natural tendency to want to complicate things and Part of that strange when it's in the form of when it's our clients who do that I think it's strange meaning we'll have clients who will call up and They're starting off With a small business and they'll tell us we you know, we're calling you we want your help Want to form a British Islands company a Virgin Islands company? Evi company to own a Hong Kong company to own a Chinese company to manufacture widgets in China and I'll ask them well 99% of our clients that are manufacturing widgets in China Do so just with a US company in a contract. Why do you need? Companies in three different countries to manufacture widgets and they'll give these complicated tax explanations or liability avoidance explanations and Those explanations might make sense for some massive company like Apple or something like that but they do not make sense for the overwhelming majority of companies and Companies think they're being smart by being more complicated lawyers and accountants like to be more complicated because it makes their clients believe they're more indispensable and It allows them to charge for more things Keep it simple keep it less expensive get it done. That's what I hear you saying Exactly and and I mean It's and that's I'm sorry that that's kind of a that that that's your philosophy really isn't that I mean Is that correct am I saying that right? Well, it's one of my philosophies definitely and it's one of the philosophies in the firm I remember an American company came to us. They had a 30 page memo from Their Russian lawyer and it was in English and it was in pretty good English and They wanted our help and I said to the client. Do you understand this memo? And the client said no And I said I don't either. I promise you if you hire us our memo will be four pages or less And you will understand it and it will have a conclusion That's keeping it simple. Okay. I don't know that we have so charged any less I mean, I think it's Mark Twain or at least it's been ascribed to Mark Twain like every other quote that's ever been I would have written you a shorter letter, but I didn't have enough time So, I don't know it's always cheaper, but it's always better Yeah, well Mark Twain also talked about relationships and I noticed that Are at least quotes ascribed to him Talk about travel and going around the world and meeting people and it affects you. How about you? I mean our our relationships important and You know, how does it help your your practice and your clients? Well Relationships are incredibly important and I almost hesitate to say that because there's this idea That relationships the term guanshi in China means you don't need contracts. Nothing else matters. That's not true Relationships are important in China. They're important in the United States. They're important in Mexico. They're important in Spain. They're important everywhere They're important to us as a law firm We had a client who had provided fuel to a russian vessel The vessel we learned was coming into South Korea we The client had called their regular lawyer who said there's no way we can get it arrested in a day We called a law firm in Korea with which we've had a relationship for probably going on 20 years We said please Help us arrest this vessel. We cannot get you the money In advance because we don't have enough time But i'll tell you it's a good client We know they're going to pay and I will tell you that if they don't pay we will pay They said fine. They arrested the vessel that would never have happened if we had just called somebody off the internet I can tell you 20 stories like that it It matters. I can call a lawyer in russia in Colombia and say hey, I've got this question Do you have an answer and oftentimes they'll say yes, the answer is very clear It's this that saves tremendous amount of money as opposed to having to actually hire a law firm in Colombia now if it were not so simple We'd have to hire the law firm and pay them But we can get quick answers from a lot of countries around the world and a lot of these lawyers who we get quick answers from They get answers from us too. It it it goes back Uh, what comes around what goes around comes around and we've had relationships with lawyers around the world for a long time We trust them. They trust us. It makes for A much smoother much more effective representation of our clients and their clients Yeah, that's I like the mutual Mutuality of it and I like what you say about it and it makes a lot of sense Now we have about a minute left A couple questions one What have you learned from your china practice or are just life in the law? And and if somebody wants to contact you about china, how do they how do they contact you about Having getting some help in china or I guess cannabis or Marcellona or wherever Well, I'll answer the easy question first while trying to think of a good answer to the complicated The way to reach me is very easy go to the blog china law blog dot com go to our website Harris brick and dot com um And email who you think you should email off of our website in terms of what I've learned um, I think I'm going to get very Philosophical here what I've learned is and it's it's not terribly legal I've learned that generalizations about people Um Are for the most part even if somewhat accurate are pretty worthless You really have to judge people as individuals and um People tend to be a lot more similar than they are Different so long as they have not been And I wish I could think of a better word corrupted by an extreme ideology and Even china in the u.s Um, people think we're so different I think we're very very similar and I think a lot of our disputes arise from the fact that we're very very similar We're big countries that are used to being able to get along well without having to Um, worry too much about the countries around us Well, Dan, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I really like that last part Uh About people and how we're pretty much in a way all the same With those certain exceptions and with the caution that you put in there And uh, I really appreciate you keeping it simple for us And uh, we look forward to talking to you again. So as we say in Hawaii, Aloha See you later. Okay


That's definitely an upgrade Oh, that's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for upgrade now You might be wondering why I'm reviewing this movie two things one when this movie came out in theaters It did not come out in Canadian theaters at all. So I finally got it for Christmas. It's really good Second thing the director of this movie lay one on all We want on all he's definitely one of the more underground sort of horror writers slash directors in the film business right now This is one of the key creators of the Saw series He wrote the insidious films and insidious is probably one of the best low-budget horror films It definitely really blew the Blumhouse brand and he's also you know The one who left us with the massive-ass cliffhanger of two still waiting However, this movie makes up for it tenfold again a low-budget horror movie But set in a futuristic time frame and it's venom but not mediocre the main character gray is a guy Who is living in the past in a futuristic world. He's a technophobe technically Will Smith's character for my robot we see him and his wife in a car accident his wife dies He is given a second chance with a microchip in his neck What starts off as little voices in his head turns into a means of having super abilities and being able to take revenge on The people who killed his wife and injured him But there's obviously a much bigger conspiracy and it all happens in an hour and 30 minutes Which I would say is probably one of the bigger complaints I have of this film is that is way too short the film does a great job of staying on track with the story But it is trying to world build the same time But I wish there was more because there is so much good world building in this film But they don't hang on it They don't take a massive amount of time to do world building like I said what we get is pretty good Just wish there was a little bit more along the way There is this side story of this cop character who's investigating the situation at first He's figuring out what happened to his family who did that however She starts to investigate him because he's seeming to be not like a paraplegic Unfortunate because while I say this film is too short her part to the story is so stupid It is trying to be this morality complex I feel that they could have definitely done a better job with this part But definitely what is one of the biggest selling points of the film is how they shoot the fight scenes When you watch the first one it's so jarring because the camera is following Gray's movements Putting you right in the fight scenes and you're kind of wondering the whole time how they did it And what I found out was they put an iPhone underneath his shirt and it's a transponder to a gimbal That's holding the camera so when he is moving the camera is like going full With him in accordance to the phone on his body and that's a super low-tech way to do something Look super impressive without actual CG in it The ending is kind of a little bit rushed in a bit like okay You kind of can take here leave it at the end I don't mind the ending but the ride to the ending is really good I wish that the film had a little bit longer of a runtime because I definitely feel this film is too short Upgrade is a definite thriller film that you should watch It has a pretty good story and it has just a great visual style to it for such a small budget So in the end I'm going to give upgrade a five out of seven The reason why I reviewed this other than having watched it a while ago Is that he's directing the invisible man movie that comes out this weekend I thought this movie looked like garbage However, I've heard a few things that changed my view of it And as well knowing that this guy is directing it It's kind of like a flip of a coin to be honest I do have a little bit more faith in this movie now because he's directing it Anyways guys, that's all for me. I hope you enjoyed this review If you did leave a like and if you're interested in more maybe subscribe Otherwise see you guys next time Thanks for watching the video My name is Knitz And you might remember me from the animated cult classic TV show undergrads It's been a while, but I'm happy to say the click is finally getting back together in an all new movie Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign But we are still asking for your support To see any and all updates about the upcoming undergrads movie Be sure to check out and like the bring back undergrads Facebook page And with any luck, we'll see you guys soon


Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, Madam President, Mr. Minister, Excellencies. First of all, I'm very happy to be here in Vilnius in Lithuania again. I tell you, I visited this country many times, I participated in many events, but frankly speaking, such an energetic event here in Vilnius is fantastic and I'm very glad that finally I'm not only on the political events but in such social events what I appreciate very much and I'm happy to be with you and to discuss the most, the very important questions of human service and policies for people who use drugs. I'm very pleased that this conference is taking place in our region, it means Central and Eastern Europe, a region shaped by our recent history of transition from the previous democratic political system to democratic institutions and processes. Lithuania, like Poland, was one of the first countries in this region to introduce needle and syringe exchange and substitution programs. We also live in the doorstep of countries in which the HIV epidemic continues to be a dramatic problem among injecting drugs users, especially I'm speaking about Russia and Ukraine. It is fair to say that accomplishments in this region in addressing drug-related HIV are less consistent than in other European countries. But it is important to highlight some progress. Poland is in the process of scaling up substitution treatment in prisons. Moldova was one of the first European countries to introduce needle exchange in the penitentiary system. Drug users in Ukraine are benefitting from AIDS medication. The Czech Republic now makes medical cannabis available. All this, yes please, if you want to applaud us, this decision is absolutely correct. All this may be too few. We all need to work to make sure that evidence-based interventions available in the West, such as supervised injecting facilities, are available across this part of Europe as well, along with the criminalization of personal possession of drugs. I tell you, Kasia in her very moving speech mentioned that because of some very personal experiences, she understood that she has capacity to change. I would like to tell you that even the president has sometimes capacity to change. And I tell you a very personal story. As some of you may know during my presidency, with the advice of various groups, including drug treatment providers and parents, I signed a law to criminalize personal possession of drugs. A decade later, I know that it was a mistake. We assumed that giving the criminal justice system the power to arrest, prosecute and jail people caught with any amount of drugs would improve the effectiveness of the police in bringing to justice persons responsible for supplying illicit drugs. We also expected that the possibility of being put behind bars would deter people from abusing illegal drugs. In effect, drug users became invisible in Poland. We removed them from the Central Railway Station, which used to be a drug scene, into places that are difficult to reach with harm reduction and emergency services. And we engaged the resources of the Polish criminal justice system to arrest a lot of people, the vast majority of whom were not drug dealers, but rather people having small amounts of drugs for personal use. According to the Polish Institute for Public Affairs, the number of arrests for drug possession rose from 3,000 in the year 2000 to 30,000, I repeat 30,000 in the year 2008. More than a half of these arrests were of people aged 24 and younger. I worry about these people who are beginning their life and career path with a criminal record, especially now when unemployment for young people is such a huge problem in Europe. To make matters more complicated, we know now in Poland that our punitive law did nothing to deter people from using drugs, although we spent huge amounts of money on arresting and prosecuting young people code with small amount of marijuana. Poland is now one of the leaders in drug consumption Europe in recognition of that. Poland has made small steps towards reforming our drug policy, and we will do more, in my view, the criminalization is the way to proceed. Thank you. Indeed, at about the time I signed the law criminalizing drug possession in Poland, on the other end of Europe, Portugal, went in the opposite direction and decriminalized possession of all drugs, moving such offenses from the hands of law enforcement into the domain of public health services where they belong. Since then, Portugal has served as a powerful example of now national drug policy can work to everyone's benefit. People who use drugs receive the support they need and the police can keep their attention off major crimes. I decided to join the Global Commission of Drug Policy and proudly hosted its meeting in Warsaw in the fall of the last year after having an opportunity to review this data on arrest for personal possession. And I believe that making such evidence-based arguments is important to engage others in this discussion. I understand that many of you are researchers. I want you to know that your efforts to provide rigorous evidence for this debate are very valuable. The kind of evidence that many of you generate or collect has helped pursued me and the need to new policies and I know it is convincing other leaders too. Some European countries have gone quite far in basing their drug policies and programs on hard evidence from the health and social sciences. I salute my colleague attending this conference, former Swiss President Ruth Grafus, who led her country at the time when HIV was a visible and enormous threat. Switzerland was one of the first countries in the world to bring important harm reduction measures to scale and to study the impact of them at each step. At very turn, scientific evidence helped to convince government officials and all levels about the entire Swiss population of the importance of measures such as supervised injection facilities and carefully regulated perception of heroin for people who weren't able to succeed in other kinds of treatment. Switzerland quickly brought drug-related HIV under control though these measures. In this region, we may be especially inspired, in our region, we can be especially inspired by the experience of the Czech Republic. The Czech authorities were able to completely avert an AIDS epidemic among people who inject drugs by making harm reduction services available from a very early time. The Czech government also invested in a careful study of the impact of criminalization of minor drug offenses and they concluded that the best policy was to stick with the law that would encourage the police to focus their efforts on major drug trafficking, not on minor infractions. We might also look to an example right across the Baltic Sea, from where we are now, in the city of Copenhagen, Denmark. There is a pragmatic way to see the authorities are taking a page from the Swiss experience and investing in heroin maintenance service and supervised injection facilities to address the needs of people who inject drugs. In this period, when fiscal austerity is a constant pressure for political leaders, we also have to think about whether policies are cost-effective. It is doubtful that the resources spent on policing and prosecuting minor drug offenses are good investments. Now may be a perfect moment to rethink those expenditures. At the same time, it is crucially important that the austerity measures do not become an excuse not to invest in harm reduction services or evidence-based drug treatment which have proven themselves to be both effective and cost-effective. Dear friends, today at the time of economic crisis, social disparities and increasingly visible and the idea of solidarity is especially important now. A quarter of a century ago, the principle of solidarity and human rights changed this region. They should continue to be our inspiration as we think about drug use and drug users today. Dear friends, allow me to say some words in Russian also because I see that a lot of participants are from Russian-speaking countries and I think it is very important that you take part in such a conference. And I know perfectly well how it is difficult for you to do it. What efforts do you need and what reactions can you meet? But I would like to tell you that you can be proud of your activities because what has changed, thanks to you in recent years, and I think that if together with the international community, together with various international organizations, including those who are engaged in the organization of our public conference today, you will continue your efforts, I will say even more, it is not only efforts, it is, as the Lithuanian Minister said, a struggle. You will continue your struggle, it will be successful, it will help people, it will help your people, it will help your country, it will also help create values, humanity, human rights, tolerance and everything that will create the best future for you, your families, your friends, your people, your country and all of us in the world. I wish you this and I think that you have already done a lot for this, but you still need to strive, and we as an international community support you completely, not only in your work, but in your struggle. All the best.

This is the aftermath of a fatal error. A ship has capsized. Just a few minutes earlier, cars and lorries were driving onto a roll-on roll-off ferry in the port of Zabruk, Belgium. As the passengers made themselves comfortable aboard the ship prior to departure, little did they know that they would be victims in one of the worst peacetime British maritime tragedies in living history. The disaster would kill just short of 200 people and cast a worrying light on the design of row-row ferries. Today we're looking at the MS held a free enterprise disaster. My name is John and welcome to Plainly Difficult, Three Spirit Class Ferries. We start our story today eight years before the tragic night in Belgium with the ferry company European Ferries PLC ordering three new ferries for its Dover to Calais route. The shipbuilders Schaikau Unterwesser AG in Germany were commissioned to design and construct the new vessels. The company required their ships to be fast and be quick to load and unload, an essential part of the highly competitive Dover to Calais route in a pre-channel tunnel world. The company's predecessor Townsend Car Ferries had pioneered the use of roll-on roll-off ferries and this tradition of using such vessels would carry on to the three new ferries being commissioned in 1979. The three vessels would later be named the Spirit Class of Ferries after the name of the first in the class, the MS Spirit of Free Enterprise. All three would be very similar, be branded as Townsend Forson Ferries and be registered in the Port of Dover United Kingdom. But this is where we will say goodbye to two of the ships in our story and instead I'll focus in on one of them, the MS Hero of Free Enterprise. She began paying passenger service in May 1980. The ship was of all welded steel construction, comprising of eight decks numbered A to H from top to bottom. A deck was crew accommodation and a radio room. There was a half deck between A and B decks which housed the wheelhouse also known as the bridge. B deck, passenger areas, crew accommodation and the galley were found there. C deck also had passenger areas and a galley. D deck was a suspended vehicle deck within E deck and E deck was the upper vehicle deck. F deck was crew accommodation at the port end and starboard end and G deck was the main vehicle deck and finally H deck which housed the engine room, stores and passenger accommodation at the forward end and G deck was the level that housed the ship's bound stern watertight doors that allowed the fast loading and unloading of vehicles. The doors were kept watertight when closed by tubular neoprene seals. At Dover and Calley the ship was loaded via the use of double link spans. Basically a bridge like structure that allows cars and lorries to drive onto the vessel. This allowed the loading of G deck and E deck at the same time. The latter had weathertight doors at the bound stern.  Now probably goes without saying that the ship's bound stern doors need to be closed before setting sail as you know water plus hole in a ship equals ship no longer floating. In order to ensure the ship's doors were correctly closed and locked the MS held a free enterprise relies solely on a person physically verifying the door status by well looking at the door and the local control panel. i.e the person in charge of the door has to do their job properly with little oversight. The bridge had no way of knowing if the doors were closed apart from getting the word from the crew member operating the doors and the way that the ship was arranged you couldn't physically see the doors from the wheelhouse or the bridge. The issue with this arrangement would be highlighted in October 1983 when another spirit class ship the pride of free enterprise sailed from Dover to Zabruk with the bow doors open. The person in charge had fallen asleep. Another similar incident would also happen later on in the same year once again on the pride. Although the ship didn't sink it did open up some comments within European ferries group plc and some of the company's captains suggesting some safety modifications including a door indicator light on the bridge. I would say a pretty sensible suggestion from the people who operate the ships day to day and have seen the incidents that can unfold. Some comments were passed up to management this was their reply bearing in mind this is in response to some reasonable suggestions. The deputy chief superintendent replied do they need an indicator to tell them whether the deck storekeeper is awake and sober my goodness and another from another manager nice but don't we already pay someone assume the guy who shuts the door tells the bridge if there is a problem and another manager just said nice. The issue was brought up again in 1986 and yet again a rubbish reply came back from the company. I cannot see the purpose or need for the stern door to be monitored on the bridge as the seaman in charge of closing the doors is standing by the control panel watching them close. Needless to say the indicator lights weren't installed. So the bail doors open incident happened on a dover to Zibrug run. Remember when I said the ships were built for dover to Calais? Well their operations had expanded but Zibrug offered a slightly unique challenge. The berth that Zibrug couldn't properly accommodate two deck loading this was due to there only being one link span and to add insult to injury a high waters that same link span couldn't be raised up enough to reach the upper car deck E. To allow for this the ship had to be trimmed by filling her ballast tanks to load a vessel in the water and this would be the same story that would unfold on the 6th of March 1987. The Disaster. It is the evening of the 6th of March 1987 and the MS Herald of Three Enterprise is in berth 12 at Zibrug harbour. Captain David Lurie tonight is in charge tonight her voyage to Dover will carry a crew of 80 hands and 81 cars 47 freight vehicles and three other vehicles and this amounted to roughly 459 passengers. Usually the doors were closed before the moorings were dropped but today it is slightly different. The task of closing the doors was down to assistant boatswain Mark Stanley but after clearing up the deck he went back to his quarters to take a break. There he fell asleep and missed the harbour station's call. Leslie Sable a first officer in lieu of Stanley was meant to wait at the bow doors. However he left G deck when as he claimed to have seen Stanley approaching this would later be thought to be incorrect. It is likely Sable left thinking that Stanley would be around after he heard the station's call. Boatswain Terrence Ailing was also on G deck but didn't go to close the doors even though no one knew where Stanley was. He would later explain that it wasn't his duty. Captain Lurie from his position on the bridge couldn't see the bow doors and assuming they were closed began to depart Zibrug. The ship hadn't been retrimmed after filling her ballast to dock at Zibrug. This was at roughly 1905 or 705 in the evening. By 724 she passed the outer mole. Water had begun to enter the ferry via the open bow doors. At 726 she started to list 30 degree support. The ship briefly levelled off before listing again to port until she was fully on her side half submerged in the shallow water just 1km from the shore. The water entered the engine room and electrical systems knocking out both her main and back up electricity plunging the ship into darkness. The capsizing was witnessed by nearby dredger ship. They quickly reported the sinking to port authorities. Helicopters and vessels from the Belgium Navy were dispatched at around 737. Many were trapped inside the ship and although she had capsized in shallow water and thus had half of her ship still above the water, the trapped would eventually succumb to hypothermia. Divers helped remove bodies and assist in helping survivors. Some were still stuck inside hours after the disaster and they were still alive.  Aftermath. The held would be required to be removed as such an impressively quick salvage operation would be kicked off. Dutch company, smith, tac, towage and salvage would be tasked with the job and cracked on just a few days after the disaster. The ship was rited and refloated using the parbuckle salvage method. Once refloated the final bodies were recovered. Initially it was thought that she could be repaired and sold off but no buyer wanted her and as such she was sent to Taiwan to be scrapped. A formal investigation was held by Mr. Justice Sheen. It would find that Captain David Lowery, the master, Mr. Leslie Sable and Mr. Mark Victor Stanley were negligent in their duties. Lowery for departing without checking the doors were shut, Sable for leaving the doors open with no one to close them and Stanley for not being at his post. The investigation would find the company was an environment ripe for disaster. Communication between crew aboard towns and forest and ships was abysmal and to add further fuel to the fire relations between the ship's crews and the company was toxic. I mean we saw that when the idea of door indicator lights was brought up. The actual mechanics of the capsizing involved a thing called the squat effect. This is a reduction in pressure that causes the ship to increase its draft and thus be drawn closer to the seabed. This phenomenon is more prevalent in shallow water. As the herald accelerated she squatted bringing water line above the opening caused by the enclosed doors. The water flowed across her car deck and as it sloshed around the deck the free surface effect came into play, reducing the stability of the ship causing her to turn over. Townsend Forson would be rebranded pretty quickly after the disaster to Piano Ferries and their fleet would be very quickly repainted and renamed. Roro's ship design would be improved because of the disaster but this is probably not much of a consolation for those who died just outside the brook. This is a plain difficult video.

Thank you for checking out this no spoilers movie review This is for the 1996 Werewolf film bad moon, which I'm sure people will be able to just figure it out based off the title bad moon and Actually the cover art the poster art whatever you want to call it looks really good It's kind of like a really cool looking drawn werewolf face with one of its eyes being a full moon which That kind of drew me in plus the fact that I like werewolf films I think that werewolves are vastly underutilized in a Genre aware we're focusing very heavily at least for a while on vampires We still see a good amount of vampire stuff here and there, but Unbelievably focusing on things like zombies have for a while and still doing it I just feel like werewolves are a little underserved and I would like to see it a lot more So before watching this film I started thinking to myself Why is it that we don't see more werewolf films and I was like why is it why is it and dawned on me? It's got to be because it's more expensive than doing something like a Vampire or a zombie or you know something else Because if you think about it in order to have a successful werewolf film the werewolf itself has to look good Now you can go the CGI route and do it totally CGI But that doesn't really hold up all that well Plus I feel like you'd have to have a really good CGI team to pull that off to the degree that people would be looking for So the best way to go is practical effects to to make an actual suit with a nice You know mask or animatronic head which in this film bad moon. They actually used an animatronic head that looks really good So Pricy money. It's more expensive. So that's that that's what I came up with That's what makes the most sense to me, but out there put some comments down here. Let me know Do you think that that's valid? Do you have another idea or do you know for sure? Let me know anyway Let's get into bad moon from 1996 by Eric Redd, which people say who is Eric Redd? Well, Eric Redd is the person who directed this film and was involved a bit in the screenplay hasn't done like anything else pretty much and You'll you might know why if you've seen bad moon. Yeah, I might know why so I got my you know Sorry, I got my notes on my phone. Jesus. I Got my notes on my phone So I'll be going through in the order as usual as I was watching as things occurred to me. So Director Eric Redd. So he isn't known for a whole lot actually But he did write the script for the 1986 version of the movie the hitcher Yes, the one was see Thomas Howe and Rucker Hauer which is a good watch. It's a fun film I would definitely recommend that so after seeing bad moon I would say that Eric Redd's best achievement in film is still the hitcher from 1986 Check that out if you haven't seen it. So this apparently based on a novel by Wayne Smith And the name in the novel is called Thor now Thor is a dog in the film and apparently the movie shifted focus literally While perspective mainly From what the book did the book was actually from the perspective mainly of the dog Whose name is Thor and so one of the issues that I see in this film is that that kind of shift It's one of these things kind of like with Josh Mallerman's bird box book then when it went to the movie on Netflix That that movie was about Well, the book was about someone who couldn't really use their sight and so in the book As you're reading from the perspective of someone who can't use their sight It's very effective. You also have no sight in that sense but then when you take that story and you put it in a Visual medium then you lose a lot It just doesn't work the same and so I think it's the same thing with this where I guarantee the book is a lot Better than the film. It's probably one of those things where you lose a lot going from the perspective of the dog to going from Really perspective of no one. I mean, it's kind of like an outsider's watching as an audience member You're just watching what these people are doing. There's not a whole lot of perspective at all in this. It's just observation really I mean the dog is heavily featured and they try to focus as much as they can on the dog But the problem is it's a real dog. It's not CGI or anything can't make the dog do certain things Also how on film are you supposed to like really have a dog's perspective other when other other than doing like a Load of the ground POV shot with a camera, you know You can't get the dog's thoughts or anything like that and if someone could pull that off hats off to them That'd be amazing. So I just feel like You know, maybe in the beginning this wasn't the novel to choose to make a movie out of it Just does not translate. So you'll know my opinion now on this.  It's not good I'll just tell you that right now. So it didn't do well in theaters either when it came out and it lost it lost six million dollars So from what I made in the box office to what the budget was $6 million in between there in that gap Not good. So you can see why maybe Eric Redd isn't very well known because maybe he didn't get much work after that Yeah So within this film when it first starts off, they immediately go for the sex in the gore And that's that's a trick that a lot of filmmakers will use to be like grab people pull them in start exciting Get them the stuff that you know, they're there for you for the sex appeal for the gore for the scares You know for the creature and then that's the thing is you get all this stuff like Immediately and it's great and that set me up. I was like, okay, here we go but then they get significantly back down from that for a very long amount of time and Those types of scenes are very far and few are few and far between Sorry, I just came from work They're very few and far between and then it just really becomes a slog watching this film because when you start with such such awesome Expectations like they did and they show you the werewolf early on and it looks great like the actual body suit portion of it is Okay, but the face the animatronic head looks so good. That's what I'm saying like practical effects Just awesome. And so like that set it up. I was like, all right, I'm ready for this and then it's just It's a slog and I'll talk a little bit more about why so one of the characters in this is one of the key characters is unbelievably suspicious Immediately in the film stays suspicious has a lot of behaviors and actions That just are over the top for what someone in that situation would be doing and trying to act And it's just it doesn't feel natural for the story and it's just it doesn't work It just does not work in my opinion.  There's no subtext in this film whatsoever what you were seeing is Literally what you're getting on the screen and I really really hate these types of films It's like you're just spoon feeding the audience you're saying here you go idiot You just like film any film, right?  I know I guarantee there's gonna be someone out there Who will comment down here and be like actually I really have fond memories of this film I saw it when I was young or I watched it recently and I still like it for some reason And that's fine. You know, obviously this is just my opinion. I hate it personally It does not do anything for me, but if it if it does for you, that's that's great The acting sucks and the dialogue doesn't help at all So it's one of those situations where it's hard to find it's hard to figure out Is the actor not good or are all the actors in this instance not good? Or is it a situation where they would do a fine job except the dialogue is so poorly written that they just can't deliver it properly Because it's just poorly written or is it a situation where you know, they're bad actors or is it a combination of the two? I would assume it's a little bit of a combination of the two where the actors are just You know, okay actors and if you give them the right material they could do a pretty good job But the material was bad too. So it's just all comes out So it makes it for some really cringy dialogue like the dialogue is garbage. It is so bad It's so bad. So there's a standoff of sorts in this film Between two characters and it is ridiculously long. Nothing is happening and you're really just sitting there like We're still doing this right now Like we're not gonna move the film at all and that's the thing like this movie is a slog It just goes at this snails pace and they're never pay off And it's just it's like they were just trying to hit a certain runtime of the film and they're just like oh man Yeah, we got to take some we got to do some long scenes here because other than why otherwise We're not gonna hit our quota for runtime ridiculous So the the set feels really confined though and this is where like I like confined sets sometimes But when it feels like it should be confined in this instance, there's a lot of outdoor portions but it feels confined and it's a bad thing in this instance because You're Unrealistically keeping the characters within this small space that's outdoors and it doesn't make any sense like these people can easily Go elsewhere and they would go elsewhere and they should go elsewhere But they're staying around this little area which leads you to believe that they had a very small set Or they were just doing it because of cost. I don't know or it actually looks at At certain times it looks like maybe it's real or maybe it's on a soundstage I don't know so it could have really been a situation where it was a set on a soundstage And they were just like we just have like this one these one or two set sets and that's all we got That's all that's in the budget. So we just got to work with that keep it small it does not do any service to the to the film and Yeah, the story suffers greatly for it and the characters What they where they can do what they can do is severely limited Which just kills a lot of what feels real because it doesn't feel real I could like I said before I could see where the book is probably good The the idea behind the book as I did research on it sounds like it could be a really good book So I would recommend reading the bad moon book. I don't recommend seeing this movie. Obviously as you can tell So it changes an attitude of one of the key characters in this film And it's actually the same character that's acting a very suspicious way And and it there doesn't seem to be a real catalyst for it or a real reason for it It's just kind of towards the end ish There's just like this switch that goes off and it's like this person's all of a sudden acting very different and very weird And it doesn't make any sense like I Know and I mean to be honest like characters don't make sense in this film at all like their motivations are unbelievably one-dimensional It's there's no depth. It's just garbage. It's trash I do have to say one thing I kind of laughed at that. I thought was cool was in the background being a werewolf movie They had a Coors like can at one point The silver bullet as we all know so I was like ha ha someone's got a sense of humor. That's kind of funny I like that And the end the this is this is the biggest thing for me Inevitably a lot of these werewolf films will want to show you a transformation I feel like when you do a werewolf film There's this expectation that you know the audience has that they got to see the transformation So you can't just do the oh he changes off he or she changes off screen And then out pops up in there the werewolf because people you're really pissed at that But what's worse is when your transformation scene looks terrible and this one is just it's bad So I laughed out loud when the transformation was happening and just think about like what effects looked like in 1996 and film and you'll probably Get an idea of what was going on in this and the transformation is just it's laughable It's unbelievably laughable like I said I laughed out loud and I was watching this film by myself and it takes a Lot for me to laugh when I'm on my own I I mainly only laugh in like social settings out loud that is like internally I'll laugh in my head But I laughed out loud it caught me off guard It was so bad and it is laugh inducing so I guess if you really want to know what this is all about At least just pull up the movie and then just like fast forward to just the transformation scene And check that out and how bad it is So the last thing I'd written is something I kind of already covered that you know Some stories just don't translate to film and that is 100% the situation with this film The source material like I said is probably a good book It probably works really well But they should have realized that when they were going to write the screenplay this does not translate to the screen You cannot do it from a dog's perspective and have it work and the whole point of the story sounds like it's from the dog's Perspective when I read a little bit of the synopsis of it I understand that the story is Specifically for a dog's perspective and that's why it works And so for them to take that out of it and should be like I mean the dogs here, but there's no perspective It doesn't work at all it bombs so giving this a rating out of five stars with half stars in play One is this is a one-star film and the reason I'm even gonna give it one star instead of a half And I don't give zero stars. I don't do that half is the lowest so because you get a half just for effort So the reason I gave it that extra half for a one-star is because the werewolf looks good And that very first scene of you know the sex in the gore is a really good scene that really you know sets the stage But it's just a crazy disappointment after that. So one star on this one. It is bad, but Please please put your comments down here. What are your feelings? You agree with me? Do you not agree with me? It's fine. Either way. I am totally good with it But for me personally trash it shouldn't be called bad moon It should just be called bad movie because this is a bad movie. Anyway, yeah, you killed My hopes and dreams. I really went into this film like excited because I'm like I haven't seen this one It's a werewolf movie. I really like werewolves.

Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to demonstrate you how to print reverse of array by passing array into function using pointer. Before starting, you can note my information, you can follow or subscribe my youtube channel through the url youtube.com slash sanjaygupta underscore text school. You can download my programming app Teches which is available on google play. Now I am going to implement solution of this problem. So I am implementing hydrophile first. Now I am declaring a function whose name is reverse. Its written type is void and it will receive an argument which will be the base address of array. So integer pointer is declared here and this complete statement will be known as function declaration. Now I am going to define main function. Inside main, I have declared two variables array A and variable I. Now printf which will display the message enter 10 elements. Now I am applying for loop which will repeat scanner statement 10 times and all the elements of array will be stored inside array. Now I am calling reverse function. So this statement is function call. In this function call I have passed name of array. So this name of array will be passing base address of the array that will be received through a pointer in function definition and at last return 0. So this is the definition of main function. Now I am defining definition of reverse. So this pointer P will be receiving base address of array and this block will be known as function definition. Now I am declaring a variable I to print array in reverse order. I am initializing I with 9. Condition is I greater than 0 and I minus minus. Now inside this for loop I have to apply printing statement so that I can print element of array in reverse order. So here I am using this notation. So P plus I will be pointing to the address. So P is pointing currently to the base address. I have added I inside it. So I is pointing to 9. So base address will be incremented and it will move to the ninth location of array. Then this asterisk will be providing the value which is available on that location and it will be displayed on console. Then next time I will be decremented it will point to 8. So P plus 8 will be performed. So P pointer will be pointing to the 8th location of array.  So that location will be displayed with the help of this asterisk sign. So this way I is decremented and P with the help of P we are pointing to the different different addresses of array and asterisk will be printing values available on that address. Now I am going to execute this code so that you can check whether it is working proper or not. So I am entering 10 numbers. You can see the output. The entered numbers are printed in reverse order on console. So this way the program is working properly and you got to know how you can print reverse of array with the help of pointer. So you can directly move to the last location of array through pointer by adding the number of location in a particular pointer and through asterisk you can find out the value which is available on that address. So this way all the elements of array are printed in reverse order and I have passed array into function using pointer.

It's not about taking sides. Why isn't it about taking sides? Because there are some within the Labour movement or within the Labour Party who feel that you should take sides and that you need to become more aligned with those working class roots. Why not take a side here? Well it's important that we understand what's going on here. I mean obviously workers in a firm, in the ports for example in this situation they need to show flexibility. The Labour Party is neither for water-siders nor against them. When you finally spoke last week you said you refused to take sides. Members of your own caucus came out in full support of those striking workers and yesterday you're out marching with them. Can you understand why we maybe left feeling a little confused over your position? No, no, I'm completely consistent.
