The following is a production of New Mexico State University. And welcome to another episode of Vegetables in Great Abundance, or VEGA. Now those of us in New Mexico know VEGAS as the large poles that hold up the major weight of an adobe house. Well, vegetables serve the same kind of role in our own diets. They're one of the foundations for good health. And that's the reason that we've created this series. My name is Carrie Bachman, and I work with the Cooperative Extension Service. And in this series, we're going to be visiting different farmer's markets around the Albuquerque area. Now don't worry if you don't live near Albuquerque, we've got farmer's markets all over the state. Large and small, on weekends, during weekdays, you'll find a variety of growers there. And I really encourage you to go to the markets when you can. Now this market that we're going to visit for this segment is actually pretty interesting. It's the first weekday market this season for this Corralis Grower's Market. And so it's pretty small. And when I went, I really didn't know what I was going to find. And so what we've got here are some really kind of interesting discoveries. And I'm pulling together a very interesting meal, which you may not normally think of seeing at a farmer's market. Now remember, if you are on WIC, you can also use your WIC farmer's market coupons at the farmer's market to buy fresh produce. Produce is something that we may not be used to eating or serving much to our family. But once you get the hang of it and become accustomed to the interesting flavors, I think you'll find that they really do become family favorites. Kids may take a little bit of time to get used to vegetables, but if you give them to them every few days, then they'll have a chance to get used to the flavors. Don't worry if they don't like them right away. But over time, I'm sure that they will develop some favorites. Now also, if your kids don't like a certain vegetable, don't force it on them. It's natural that people have their likes and their dislikes. So let's go ahead and continue now. We're going to visit with the market manager at the Corralis Growers Market, Jim Fahey. And we'll discover some very interesting produce that he and his colleagues have for sale at the market. Some surprising things that we'll use in a breakfast. You may not think of vegetables for breakfast, but actually they're quite tasty and very nutritious as you might guess. Now the thing with vegetables that's also great is they really fill us up with some healthy nutrients so that we're not going to be too hungry later on in the day for other foods that may be not quite so healthy. So let's go ahead now and let's visit with Jim at the farmers market. We're visiting today with Jim Fahey. He's the manager of the Corralis Growers Market. And Jim, we're so glad to be here with you today on the first Wednesday of the market for the season. Well we're glad you're here. Thanks for having us. Tell us a little bit about the market and how you became involved with it. Well this market has been here not in this location but in Corralis for probably 15 years. We've probably been in this location for about five years. I became involved after moving here and continuing to grow produce at our house and reaching a point where my wife actually said you need to get rid of some of the stuff. And fortunately there was an outlet where I could advance my hobby and actually use the monies obtained here to do more work at my place, to improve my place. Wonderful. So over time in order to keep it a safe environment and to keep it running you get involved and so now this year I'm the market manager. Okay. Well that's great and farmer's markets are really interesting collections of people. You've got growers small and large who come here with all different kinds of produce and we're going to see a little bit of what Jim's market has to offer in a second. Jim, I understand you're also a medical doctor. How does that impact your interest in vegetables at all? None. None? Well as a nutritionist that's one of the things that we try to do is make the connection between agriculture and the health of the human beings who are actually eating the food and that's one reason we're featuring farmers markets as a great source of healthy produce. Do you eat a lot of produce yourself at home? Yes, yes, sweet. Everything we grow and most of our purchases at the grocery store are things like milk and cheese and occasionally eggs, meats. But we've pretty much grown our own produce for many years. Our kids grew up on this thing. No, I use this as an outlet. This was my method of relaxation. It wasn't developed or I didn't get into it because of my medical practice. Okay. It was just something to do to keep me busy and to get away from the medical practice. I mean the stresses of it. Well the stresses of many of our jobs are something that we need to be aware of and also balance with healthy activities like gardening which is something, it's healthy to eat the food but it's also really healthy to actually go out and grow the food and prepare it yourself as well. So thanks so much Jim. We're going to go ahead and take a look at some of the vendors here today and we'll be back to visit with you in a bit. We really appreciate you being here. Thanks so much. Thank you. All right, well we're here with Bonnie Gonzalez and I'm really excited to see the radishes that you've got here for us. Tell us a little bit about these beautiful radishes. These are called a French breakfast radish and they're very mild radish and you can slice them up and eat them with toast and butter and a little salt and they're very good. So the French really do eat them for breakfast then? They really do eat them for breakfast. Wow, you know as a nutritionist we like to say breakfast is an important meal and it doesn't really matter if you're eating leftover pizza or cold cereal. You just need something in your stomach. Radishes is one thing I'd never really thought about. And do you also cook with the radish greens? I like the radish greens and salads actually. And especially when they're this young, they're very nice and they're not quite as prickly as they get when they get a little bigger. Well this is wonderful. We're going to go ahead and get a couple of these. Now Bonnie is also very involved in Corralis agriculture and there have been some really exciting developments recently. Can you tell us a bit? Very exciting things going on and things that have been worked on in the village for a good 10 years now and just recently that came to a culmination I guess when our council approved our first three agricultural easements where the development rights are going to be sold off of these properties and we're very excited about that. The community has supported this with a very large bond election and won the bond election. The community came out and voted in favor of this. And so we're selling bonds and we have been awarded a natural resource conservation grant USDA and between those two things we've been able to preserve some of our farmland and perpetuity. So basically what an easement means then, correct me if I'm wrong, is that you basically purchase the development rights and then that land will stay in agriculture? It will stay in agriculture, correct. The development rights are removed and that goes with the land not with the land owner. So if the land owner sells that property the easement remains on the property. You know a lot of people think of Albuquerque as a big urban sprawling city and in many ways it is but right on the outskirts we have smaller communities where agriculture is still happening and people like Bonnie are really helping make sure that it will continue to happen. And that's very important. I think having farms close to our markets and close to our urban areas is a good thing again because food security is important and that's one way we can get food security into the local communities and make sure that food's available and good food's available. Well thanks so much for visiting with us and congratulations. Thank you. We'll go ahead and take a couple of those bunches of radishes if that's okay. These are just beautiful. Well we're back in the studio now with the beautiful radishes that I bought from Bonnie. You'll notice that these radishes here have a special label on them that says New Mexico grown with tradition. The NMDA or New Mexico Department of Agriculture has a special program and this lets us know as consumers when we're buying produce that has been grown in New Mexico. So that's kind of a nice thing to look out for when you're in the regular grocery store. Certainly when you're in the farmers market you're going to know that those products were grown in this state. Now you can look at these radishes they are so small and tender as Bonnie was saying when the greens are this young you can even use them in a salad. When you store the radishes what you're going to want to do is actually remove the greens you can just pop them off like this and put them into a separate bag and keep them separate from the roots. That will keep both of them fresher. Now we'll go ahead and wash some of these roots here just to show you how that works. Again the method that I like to use most is just putting them into a bowl of water and just kind of dipping and swishing them to get any of the loose dirt that's still on them. These are pretty clean. Bonnie's done a really nice job with them. Then to prepare them if you'd like cut off the tip and then cut off what I call the tail and you've got a really beautiful radish that you can just put right onto a relish tray and eat it with a dip if you'd like. Radishes are really high in vitamin C and when they're this young they're so crisp and tender and they don't have that real strong flavor that you might associate with the radishes you buy in the grocery store. That's one thing that kids love about radishes and in fact kids can grow radishes really easily at home. They're one of the vegetables that grows most quickly of all. And you may think it's kind of funny that people would eat these for breakfast but you'll see it with the other vegetables that we combine here in a few minutes and then our final surprise that I found at the farmers market what a delicious breakfast we're going to have. Remember you can eat these raw. You can even if you'd like to saute them or put them in soups. They're wonderful however you fix them. So do get to the market and try them out. Well we're back here with Jim after looking at those wonderful radishes and what I'm going to purchase here for the rest of our meal are some beautiful peas. Now spring is generally the best season for peas and we're kind of right on the edge of that. Am I right? Correct. Well you can actually get some peas in the fall. What we have here today are two varieties of peas. Okay. They're edible potted peas. This variety is what's called a sugar snap and you can look at it and it's kind of fusiform, a nice contour firm and when you bite into it or break it it's very crisp. Okay. And the other variety we have here is called a snow pea. Right. And you look at it, it's a flatter pea. You can actually see the peas inside. The third variety of peas that people commonly see are your English peas. Right. The ones that are shelled and then you eat just the pea rather than the whole thing. And that's basically when you go to the grocery store and buy frozen peas. That's the type of pea that you're getting. You can grow those. Okay. It's a lot of work to shell them. Right. So most of us do these because they're simpler and I think they taste better. These are very sweet. These are more what you see in your stir fry dishes. Exactly. Okay. These you can eat raw in your salad, slice them up, half of them are eaten before they ever get to the house. That's right. There can be a bit of a string as you can see here and we'll talk a little bit more about this when we're actually preparing our peas for eating. But in general they're pretty much entirely edible and that's a really nice advantage because you've got all that fiber from the pod. You're not throwing that part of it away. Well Jim was telling me earlier that in fact most of his yard is devoted to gardening and it sounds like it's probably a beautiful place. Well, it probably depends on your perspective. Sometimes my wife is critical. But yes, we've tilled most of the yard in order to gain on space because I have a lot of things growing. We grow a lot of things now on trellises. All the cucumbers, the melons are up on trellises. The peas, the beans, they grow up and there's no methanol. Well you know and that's a tip that home gardeners can use as well especially if you're living in a small apartment or a place where there's not a lot of space. Gardening up actually increases the space that you have to use and you can grow more vegetables in a smaller area. Well Jim, I'm really looking forward to working with these peas here. Can I go ahead and take a couple of boxes of them? That's wonderful. You wanted one of each. I'll take one box of each. That sounds great. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. We're glad you're here. Well we'll enjoy these, you can bet. Well here we are back in the kitchen with these wonderful sweet peas that we've gotten from Jim. Now we've got here the two different varieties that he showed us. These are the snap peas. You can see they're a slightly rounded, larger, more plump shell and these here are the snow peas which you can see are a little bit flatter in shape.  Let's see what they look like inside. I've cut open here a snap pea and you can see what's inside of these look actually quite a bit like the peas that we would normally get in the grocery store. If you look over here, in fact what I've got are some green frozen peas in a bag and I'll put them here and you can kind of compare. They don't look much different. The thing with these snap peas though they're so much sweeter and of course much fresher. One of the critical things with peas is you want to try to eat them as soon as possible after they've been picked and at the growers market you can really make sure that that's the case. Frozen peas actually are a good substitute for fresh peas if you can't get them because they've been picked and then processed at the point of freshness and so if you put them into recipes without cooking them like a salad they're actually going to maintain some of their nice texture and flavor a little bit better. Now of course you know you can also buy peas in this form in a can and this is in fact what the English peas look like. English peas or the ones that we use here for green peas are a different variety. The pod that they have is not edible.  You have to sit there and pick all of the peas out of the pod. So in essence we've in our country become more accustomed to at least in eating fresh peas seeing the snap peas and then the snow peas as well. Now another form of pea which I think is really wonderful and very underused is actually this one. It comes in a dry form and you can see these have been split in half and you can find it at the store in bags like this. It's called green split peas and it's basically a pea that's grown till it dries on the plant and then it's harvested in a dry form and you cook it up just as you would beans very high in protein, a little less high in some of the more vegetable type nutrients like your vitamins but it's a wonderful, wonderful fiber source as well. Now when you're serving these peas what I like to do is just eat them raw otherwise maybe very lightly sauté or steam them but really raw is the best form. If you're putting them into a salad you can take these snap peas and cut them up like this into little chunks that are a little bit more manageable or even just throw the whole pea in. Some of them will have some strings but you can just kind of take off the end like this and pull the string off and if you notice anything right here all this is is the remains of the flower so you see at the farmers market you really get to know your vegetables. Well we've got some vegetables ready for our meal and what I would like to purchase now is some wonderful bread. You notice here there's a great variety of it and we're visiting today with Soraida and her children, this is David and your other children? Roman. Roman? Robin. Robin, nice to meet all of you. Thank you. You're from the Swiss Alps Bakery then. Yeah, this is my north, my north Luciana. Okay. This is my bacon. It's German sweet. I have to make the bread. It's different flowers. Yes. Yes. Four wheat, red bread. Well you know I was looking at this bread right here Soraida. Can you tell me a little bit about that one? Yeah, this is red bread. This is Swiss Alps and Sankala bread. Sankala. Sankala bread. So that's the name of a town in Switzerland. Switzerland. Okay. Sankala bread is a rye bread and a rustic bread. Yes, a rustic type. And is there any other type of flour or is it all rye flour? It's all the rye flour. All the rye flour. So this is 100% rye flour bread which is something difficult to find in the grocery store and rye flour is a whole grain. So you're going to get those same benefits that you get from the whole wheat. David can you tell me a little bit about what your role is with the family business? How do you help out with it? I help out. I cut the bread. Okay. I make the round or maybe I have to choose like this. Okay. So you actually work with making the bread with kneading it as well as cutting it. That's great. Wow. Breadmaking is something a lot of people don't know how to do anymore. And this is a resource very unique to Albuquerque. And you do the cookies as well. We even have some cookies over here too. So the whole family is involved in this business. It's wonderful to see you all out at the market. Especially selling such interesting cultural breads that we wouldn't normally see in New Mexico. I have Seraida's bread here and I'm just so excited to dig into this loaf. You can just see the kinds of things you find at the farmers market are not the same as the grocery store. This Seraida told us is a 100% whole rye bread. And it's a traditional bread apparently in the German, Swiss part of Europe. And as you see, you can really tear into this and look at that wonderful color. Rye flour is going to be actually naturally a bit lighter in color than wheat. So even though this is whole rye, it's not going to have that dark, dark color and texture that a whole wheat bread would have. Now, you can also, instead of tearing it, you can also cut it. Make sure when you're cutting bread, I don't have a real bread knife with me today, but you want to use a longer knife that's serrated like this one. Not a knife that's just sharp like this because your bread is actually going to get squished by that type of a knife. Now, why do we want to encourage people to eat fiber and types of bread that have whole grains in them? Well, fiber really helps us in terms of our system's regularity as well as helping avert cancer and also helping with cholesterol levels. So fiber and rye in particular are wonderful things to encourage in our diets. Now, let's look at here at a store-bought version of a rye bread. This is not a bad bread to buy, but I just want you to be careful when you're buying breads. You might think, oh, well, this looks like it's got a whole grain in it. It's pretty high in fiber. But if you look back on the label here, you'll notice, actually, this has less than one gram of fiber per slice. And so that's something to be careful of. And you look here on the ingredient statement, the first ingredient is actually flour. It's not rye flour at all. It's just enriched wheat flour. And that's been had the bran and the fiber taken out of it. So what we're going to do now for our breakfast is we're going to tear off a nice hunk of this beautiful rye bread. This is a very European or even Middle Eastern breakfast. You can just serve this with a bit of butter.  It's when we eat lots and lots of fats that it's going to be bad.  You can see I've taken the strings off of them and your delicious breakfast radishes. Let's try it and see how tasty this can be. Well, here we are at the Corralis Market and look who we've run into. Actually, these are some of my colleagues also who work for the Extension Service but as volunteers. Jan and Therese are both master gardeners with the Sandoval County Cooperative Extension Service. Tell us a little bit about why you're here today at the market. Well, there's one reason is to get good gardening information to the public. The second reason is as volunteers to keep our master gardener status, we have to contribute 40 hours in Sandoval County. It varies from county to county. But in Sandoval we have to put in 40 hours of volunteer service. So this is our means of getting our volunteer service. Great. Plus providing a lot of really unnecessary information, I think we tend to focus quite a lot on, you know, Zeret Gardening and the correct ways to do things in our climate for water conservation in addition to every conceivable thing one might imagine. And we try to solve problems or we take it to the agent, the Extension agent if we can't do that. But I think it provides quite a useful service. Well, it's really nice to see you all here because again it bridges the gap between buying your food at the farmers market and actually growing some of your own food at home. And that's something that everybody can do. I mean, I'm a gardener but certainly not an expert. I'm sure you all have had a lot more experience than I have. A lot of loss. A lot of failure. And that's part of the joy of gardening. You never know what's going to happen. You know, Extension does so many different things and as a nutrition person, one of the services that we offer in our county offices is nutrition education classes which are called ICANN. And if you're interested in enrolling in these classes you can just contact your local county extension office and also contact your county extension office and find out if they have a master gardener program going on. You can join it and become a volunteer or, as Jan said, you can call up with any kind of question you might have and there are people there ready and willing to help you. Yeah. And in general everybody, you know, if we don't know the answer, we find out. The best part is everything is free. You're never in charge. That's true. That's right. And thank you all so much for donating your time to not only the Coralus Farmers Market, the Coralus Growers Market, but also to all of the gardeners and growers in this part of the state. We really appreciate it. It's our pleasure. Thank you so much for visiting with us. Well, you can see at the Farmers Market there are so many interesting people to talk to. We have our master gardeners who will help us with any gardening questions that we have and they also teach classes to farmers themselves. And when we actually talk to the growers, they know a surprising amount about how to fix the vegetables that we might be purchasing. So don't worry if you're at the market and see something you don't know how to use. That's part of the fun. The other thing about our local farmers markets is it's a way to help preserve our New Mexico agricultural lands and cultural traditions. As Bonnie mentioned, Coralus has done a really excellent job in the past few years of getting some agricultural land reserved and conserved for our future generations. And it's something that other communities around the state are working to do as well. Now, if you would like to get involved with farmers markets, please call the toll-free number that's on your screen. The other thing you can do at the Extension Service is enroll in free nutrition classes. And these are a lot of fun. You'll actually be cooking things with people, getting to know new friends and learning about new vegetables and healthy foods for you and your family. Remember, when you go to the farmers market, don't forget to bring the kids. They'll have a great time looking at all the colors and smelling all of the nice scents and everything of the produce. And in fact, one thing you can also find at farmers markets is real live plants. This is one that I picked up and I forgot to mention when we were talking about the peas. This is a mint plant, which grows like crazy, even here in the dry heat of New Mexico. And what it's really nice with is to just take a piece of mint and eat it along with a pea. Now, you can make a more elaborate recipe certainly, but the mint-fresh-pea combination is just out of this world. So I hope you'll consider going more often to your farmers market. Look at it as a way of getting to know getting to know your neighbors, getting to know some new vegetables that will make your family healthier and also conserving some of the culture and agricultural lands in New Mexico. They're such an important part of our past and we really need to maintain them as well for our future. Please join me for our next episode of Vega, Vegetables in Great Abundance. Until then, I hope you'll enjoy shopping at your farmers markets and eating lots of wonderful vegetables. Thanks for joining us. The preceding was a production of New Mexico State University.

Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of our Cobra's Cup. You're here it's Friday so we're finishing up the week with myself, Lee and my good friend. Partner and Crime, Scott, how are you doing my good sir? I'm doing very well, Lee, how are you? Yeah, good mate. Kicking off for the random today so hopefully it lands on the random. Same, same. Yep. And we get something, something spicy to kick us off today. We've been making progress all week so it's been okay. Yes. Don't mind this one, Mario Circuit. Let's do this, yeah. So. Man it's so cold I really don't want to go football training. Football training, it should never be. In my room. It should never be. Nine to ten. Nine to ten, that's ridiculous. The craziest time, that's like getting ready to chill out bedtime. At least our games at 12.45 rather. Our game isn't late this week so I mean I don't have to stay out late for that. Yeah, oh well. I could just make sure I could stream Wednesday night if you're free. I've got some one-to-ones but yeah that would be really cool mate. I have to be sure. I have to be like no I can't come out. I don't think there's anything on Wednesday. I'm sure something's going to come up and it's going to really end up. As far as I'm aware I don't think I have. But yeah what time are you on to one? Early on so like I should be finished by around eight. Yeah we could try and we could try and smash like smash out another. Yeah. Bloody Chinese YouTube. Just be done with it. Because we still haven't done it like 400, 500 attempts down what are we? 450. We should get that far down. So it's about oh it's about a minute per minute per 450 minutes which is about eight hours yeah nearly eight hours. Five and a half hours. No. Heart. Five and a half hours. Slipping out a banana skin it's just like the worst. But yeah if you haven't done it. When bill comes to call we're gonna do it. Gonna get billed. Come on. Where are you? I don't know me. Somewhere miles away. Where to go if I get hit by a blue shell. Final lap when I'm in ninth place. Yeah that's well so why do I keep doing it? Cross the line. Ah! Warrior. Don't worry or dance. Mate you should have gone with warrior. He's tired. Yeah he is better. He's like doesn't get knocked about much. He's a big he is a beef fat. He's a beef. Ooh I'm a bit twisted man should nothing. Big twisted man should. I'm going I'm going with the old school rainbow rod. Old school let's go come on let's go. Okay no let's not wait for more players. Okay.   I'm using tilt controllers. They'd be so much better if you could control your me wouldn't it? Just wreak havoc upon the world. We might get a random so that would be good. Because there's still tracks that we haven't done yet. Looks like random. Random. What's this? We've had this. We've had this. Ah Donna Plains 3. You know I've been playing double dash right and there are some like absolutely banging tracks on there. And I don't know why they haven't carried them. There's like one on a boat and like a ship cruise ship. It's like insane. It's so cool. Do you know are they making because this is really just a port from the Wii U isn't it really? This Mario Kart. I think they're focusing on yeah. They're trying to focus on the mobile game. Yo that's it yeah. Trusting can be really oh we're gonna have to try out. It might be easy like together. Yeah that would be really cool. Yeah because at the moment the Wi-Fi system on Mario Kart to play together on it's so bad isn't it? Utter poo. We have some absolutely nightmares trying to get into the same races together. It's just like it's just terrible. Wow tonight it took a uh We tried like last week we tried so many times. Oh my god that one I tried to just give up didn't we?  There should be and there's just not. Yeah I hit ink. Ink? Ink's not normally to do but oh he's just overtake. Oh you're going on the grass. It's alright. The ink man. The ink. Oh I thought that was something else. Oh I've hit the grass.  Blue shelled. He's still on first place. That's right opposite warrior. You take that my friend. We're not friends. Yeah take that. Woohoo. Oh yeah. Oh no no. Okay not too bad. Talk to me man. Where'd you come? First. First place dude I don't know. First place. First place. One more. Omoly I believe in you. You can do this. You grab that first place. So cold in my room. Have you not got a hinting? I have but it just doesn't. The room just I don't understand. It's either too hot or too cold in here. And like even though the heating's on it's still cold. Like the walls are made of brick. So they're not insulated. They're not insulating very well. The bricks aren't very good either so. No that's yeah. We had our boiler fixed over the weekend. So it would have been pretty cold here. I really don't know if it's gonna snow tonight in Canterbury. I'm gonna quickly look it up. Okay geologically where is Canterbury like close to is it close is it like north of London? No no no it's it's near like it's like north north east of Kent. Okay okay. Let's have a look. It doesn't say snow it just says rain over here. Oh really? About tomorrow. It doesn't say oh hang on. I think there's a bit of snow tomorrow at seven o'clock. I don't know to be fair like snow wasn't wasn't cast. Race snow wasn't cast. It wasn't forecast. When it snowed I think it was Tuesday. It's not on Tuesday. And um well you've already had snow. Yeah well we had an hour of snow that disappeared like a half an hour later. So it was forecast to snow but not on to not where we were and well we got some anyway. Yeah well we've had nothing so far. There's nothing. Snow just just the live and up the mood. I do like a bit of snow but sometimes I'm like uh I can kind of do without it really. It's not like I guess. I get it I do get it because if you have a job and stuff yeah it's fair not. You don't have any responsive relatives for me yet hasn't yet. I'm loving I'm loving the fact that I can just do all these jumps it's pretty. I know this this crack specifically is so satisfying because you can just start everything. I'm so messing all these up like badly. I started I didn't even start on time and I'm in first place. You're what? That's how good I am. What place you in? First. Oh right okay.

So my name is Jan Sokva, I'm in charge of media at the World Economic Forum and we have with us today Nicole Newham, who's the producer of Cocoa Films, the US producer for for this film We have Tashka Yavan Nava who's the chief of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest and tribe and we have Hushanu, who's the first Shaman of A tribe in in the Amazon and she's the main character actually was telling the story of this film So maybe we start with how this film came together and how the idea Came to life and Nicole can you tell us a little bit and how how this all happened? so two years ago In Davos The artist Lynette Woolworth directed a film that I produced another VR film called collisions And that film tells the story of an indigenous man in Western Australia who witnessed a British atomic test in the 1950s when he was pre-contact and we had the privilege to To premiere it at Davos and then take it around the world and when we were showing it in Oxford We had the opportunity to see Tashka whom we'd met in Oxford a couple of years prior and we And we really wanted to show him collisions and show him virtual reality and Tashka was interested in virtual reality having used film as a medium to to tell stories about the Yavan Nava and share The Yavan Nava culture and spirituality with the world in the past In fact, it was it's an embarrassing story for me The first time I met Tashka it was with a group of Sundance filmmakers and and we were asked to introduce ourselves to him And we all went around the table and and spoke very slowly and told him how honored we were to meet him And when he started to speak he said yeah Well, it's really cool to meet you guys the first time I made a film It was with Joaquin Phoenix when he came back to the community and and I suddenly had this feeling of how How much we make assumptions about how separate we are from Indigenous people when really we're all so close so anyway We had the opportunity to show collisions to Tashka and maybe you can just talk about what what you saw and why Why this project sparked I? Can do a Yavan Nava Portuguese Spanish or English what which one you prefer if you if you could do it in English I think that that would be helpful if you don't mind Portuguese otherwise Yeah Well, my name is Tashka Yavanawa. I'm in the Yavanawa chief leader The Yavanawa people live in the Yavanawa territory. It's located the state of the Acre in Brazil Amazon rainforest We are about 1,250 people We live in land about 200,000 hectares and Yavanawa land is almost 99% preserved Yeah continuous Nicole I say when I met Actually, I met She started talking about this technology. I Didn't I really do not understand On the first I think I meant to have the first time in school World Forum was in 2011 and she had this idea about VR about the technology and I said okay, okay. Good great idea and I back to the community. I say, you know I have this amazing woman so I inspired to tell me Think I didn't know what really is that I'm going back to met her again See what's happened and later on in 2014 yeah, we met again in school at forum and She was so happy to show me the documentary she did with the Aboriginal people from Australia I mean I saw the document documentary Touch me so much because was beyond Of what we used to see in documentary Myself my wife and a friend we produced a documentary of the 51 minute in 2006 They show about the Yavanawa people how Yavanawa reborn from 21st century the Kuchira spiritual manifestation the whole thing I Call linear but when I saw the VR was beyond of that I was feeling I said wow this looks like when we You know community when you drink only only is a medicine. I think some of you know about ayahuasca. Who's know about ayahuasca? Great for people who have who have a drink ayahuasca nobody I'm so sad Okay, ayahuasca is a mix of two plant one leaves one wine and You cook about two three hours. You have a tea This tea indigenous people from the old Amazon base call The tea of the spirits People for the only score wine of the soul When you drink ayahuasca You open you Continuous for What The real life is No fake no mask and you real can listen to nature the nature tops you because everything to connect. It's very profound Well, when I saw the sunglass with the original people as well. I Turned to the net is in it. I Have a lot of vision with only ayahuasca And you're thinking we can do something to say Tashka Today we can use technology for anything we want it. I say great. I'm into that now And later on I've actually the community I say guys I saw The documentary house I bring it the sunglass here Let's make a session to see the And I put in the guys and it was so funny They were so scared like a screaming Some them to slay down the floor Amazing session we have with that and they turn to me say you think we can do I said it interesting Because the same thing I talked on the call people come to me say you think we can Send a message to this sunglass To like as a you ask a vision I say wow, that's what she promised me We can do as people say wow, we are into that That was amazing Working together in collaboration because was not something to impose it but Something discussion to community first and people say wow, let's Embrace this vision here as a tools To touch people's heart Many people don't have Opportunity to come to visit us They don't have idea about the nature About the biodiversity about this whole Beautiful important thing we have here people not gonna respect what they didn't know and And What I'm saying that because I think every person After see Who somebody so Documentary, okay, I think after you sold of another changing you perspective About indigenous spirituality About the cosmology about the nature because the the message is right there When I saw for the first time Los Angeles before we go to send us this touched me so hard I Spend a whole night dreaming with that how the team make so Great so a karate way Like when you put a sunglass look like you have a drink of only This open doors for you. You give your heart cold Happy scare when you finish if you touch it by your heart and That's something Really change Change because first We all We have a heart. We have a soul No matter I have this friend He's for express info that for countries that have anymore somewhere. I met him send us What's the name of this guy? Yeah, he wasn't fighting with me. Yes Yeah, he's yeah, he says something say Everybody in this world have indigenous blood Who don't have? Maybe they have alien indigenous blood Well, they come from somewhere something like that everybody have and Other day I was flying by helicopter over the Yawanawa land. I see this big green carpet. I Say wow, I think in the Bible when they say about the paradise Why just a metaphor the real paradise the garden is here Because it's so beautiful when you see that with love and respect I think it's other peoples was in helicopter see that They see all the kind of thing, but I see a lot of these things It's because we all as I say today we all live in a global village In global community We live in the same planet. I Think however now it's send a message to the people each one of us Can do something because we all make a difference Tashka me Because I think also what is important is to understand a little bit the story of course It's it's very important to understand how this technology enabled to tell the story but what is the story and without Explaining the whole the whole story. I think what what is also unique is that's a story about Transmission and transmission and also from a shaman to a shaman but for the first time to to a female shaman And I think that's why I'm having Hushanu here is also Very Important and Translation this machine doesn't work Otherwise Tashka maybe you can just ask her to ask her the question Very simply what was the experience for her and and I think would be interesting to know for us once he's she saw it What did she feel what was she was she surprised how much that technology managed to transmit that story? Which is not an easy story to tell Okay, he's asking for you to be able to share with people here What do you feel when you saw the Documentary for the first time it was exactly what you expected What was your experience of being able to pass this language because it's not easy to pass a story like that It's for this language You can talk more about the microphone I felt It was very very strong very beautiful at the same time I felt as if I was Inside the force of medicine and At the same time I felt How if a dream being realized How if we Enter there are moments that we are inside the force of medicine Or having a vision or within the dreams that we want to share with people And we can't really Show or we can't share exactly how it is because Because there are so many details So many things That come from the spirits and when I saw the documentary I saw something really beautiful and special I Noticed that we can share these things all together at the same time So with one person two people three people we can all share this this moment and it's such a beautiful moment This documentary shows a little bit when we were traveling we were At that event and someone told us now I'm going to go inside your mind I'm going to watch documentary and go inside your mind, and I said well, that's what this is about More or less Because it's as if we are connected with spirits people must have a very strong mind And must have a lot of awareness otherwise You go crazy Because it's a lot of information. It's there are so many voices So many spirits and this documentary shows a bit of that Of what we are going through It shows this power this strength It's as that it's like we travel within force within light and it's so beautiful So I was really glad and happy that this documentary managed to show a bit of what we see of What we live And this moment when we do this work At the right moment because the story that that one sees is is that story of transmission and apparently it happened Exactly when you started the project like so was it just luck or was it was the right meeting at the right moment? Do you mean the story of the trend the gender transition? Yes So so the story that that Tata the shaman actually was transmitting this at that moment and you you were able to capture that actually, I think I think the the story of Hushahu being trained and Shift in gender equality that started to happen in the community happened 12 or 15 years prior But the timing that that is so extraordinary that it kind of still takes our breath away is how Right at the moment that the film was coming out at Sundance and Davos was the moment that the world At large started to wrestle with gender equality in a new way and I think what we need what we need in the world is is a vision of How cultures can change to accommodate Gender parity and how how even things that seem really intransigent and really stuck actually have the capacity to shift and that's what the Yawanawa experienced and I think Perhaps the most moving thing to me In experiencing the film at Davos was to show it to extremely powerful Women who had fought to be the first of something in their field, you know the first major CEO of a large Company of a particular kind or we showed it to a woman who was the first female Fighter pilot in the United States and for those women it was extremely emotional to watch this story And I believe it it is because even though they fought the same fight that Hushahu fought to To break a taboo and and and become something different that didn't necessarily mean that the culture shifted and Things were necessarily more equitable or people in the culture at large started treating women differently But in for the Yawanawa, that's what happened And so Hushahu's story I believe gives us The capacity to to see something that that we can't see I mean first of all Which Toshka always intended it allows us to see the world the way the Yawanawa see it Which is different, but it also gives us this story of hope, and that's what I think Art can do and so even though it's a very technological project. It's filled with spirit and I think that what was such a Consequential meeting was of Not just you seeing the technology, but you meeting Lynette who when is an amazing artist and when she got to The community the Yawanawa. She said that was the first time she had ever felt truly seen that she felt like people were looking at her And they were seeing her soul, you know, so she was a The virtual reality was the technology that enabled this to happen But Lynette was the kind of spiritual connection, you know, and all those things coming together I think is what's so So Toshka before seeing virtual reality, do you think it would have been even possible to To make people experience in a way what what you are able to see Is that the moment where you saw this technology? You thought okay This this will make it work. I was immediately when I saw that I said that's it That I was looking for for so many Years ago, you know, and because Actually The webinar Give to the people the opportunity that never been there Watching few part of that One thing is People go to the community and they have experienced it because we've been saying you know, like leaving as a Yawanawa You'll see a lot of people over the world. They go to the Yawanawa. We have this annual Yawanawa celebration week But people need to go there it to goes there is not so easy You go for a flight after your Bronco you get about When the road is good is about eight hours by truck if not about 12 hours And the road the sleep in the municipality called Tarawa car from there to get more three out of us by truck again one is in the In the Amazon we have to see the rain was not rain Now is a rainy time is raining the water comes up you get about 6-7 hours by canoe of not to get 10 11 hours by canoe It's difficult to get there. It's very Believing very deep part of the Amazon, but the truth of technology today. I say Hoshahu is possible people Can see can travel it there and be touched with the Yawanawa You know our intention is to awaken these people Give this opportunity. It's like a window Give opportunity people to see that Thank you We don't have much time left, but I wanted to ask maybe one more question personally to Hushanu and if she thinks that she will be able to Transmit to other women What she has learned and and if there is more interest maybe now in the tribe from from from girls and women To know what a shaman does You Will everything I've learned throughout this process That I've been through all the visions all the drawings all the inspiration brought All of them have been shared with Yanoa women and not just be Yanoa women They have been shared with women in general. I do work with women precisely to share and Tell them It's not because we're women that we don't have the ability or That we don't have this the strength Everything that comes our way our challenges to test us and What I lived what I went through was a challenge and Now I take this message to all women not just Yanoa women, but women in general Whenever I meet them in my work and in my life for me It's as if I had a mission in life, which is to share With these women everything I've learned and I want to help even further not just women also men because In my tribe Not all men are like my brother Many leaders and other men They were angry at me Because I faced this huge challenge and I faced them in a way so not just Sharing this with women, but also with men and with children. I think this is a mission in my life on earth Which is to share everything? I've learned and this has made me has made me stronger and it will really help women Such to end this session today Thank you both for coming here. Thank you and Nicole for for making also this film available So if you didn't have the chance yet, hopefully you get the chance to watch it I can only recommend it. So thank you very much for being here today with us


And with our welcome back to our podcast from the Kamasutra to 2020 we haven't done this in a while So I'm really delighted that here we are once again together answering questions And I'm going to go straight into the first question So this is from a young man and he says I'm not bisexual But I have a certain sexual relationship with my male best friend since teenage days Though that's only once in a while because we still we don't any longer stay in the same city When we meet we have the urge to get intimate sometimes we do and sometimes we control ourselves Also, whenever I get the urge to masturbate, I think of him and our intimate times. Just wanted to know is this normal? Absolutely normal. It's more than normal and I actually It's really brave of this young man to talk about it because what I would like to say to him is that most people and it doesn't matter old young wherever Have Experimented with somebody from the same sex who's close to them, you know, that's how we learn That's how we figure out because it's scary going straight through, you know an opposite sex like a girlfriend or boyfriend and The arousal or the excitement comes much younger when we might not be in relationships But the but the desire to experiment is there and at that time in most cases It might be a cousin a best friend And it turns out to be the same sex. So it's actually more than normal What you're talking about Everybody has experienced and you could actually do a survey on it and I'll come out to be true Yeah, literally, I think everybody experiences this at some point because I think also like you said when you have that first initial desire to experiment It's very scary because it's a taboo subject. Nobody's actually talked about it You don't know where those feelings are coming from all you know is that they're very powerful feelings And you turn towards somebody that you trust and who you're close to and That's just the easiest place to start the experimenting And if you think about it, you know, sometimes it happens you have questions You're you're wondering about certain things sometimes it happens uninhibited You might cut someone or you might see somebody changing in front of you when the arousal happens But like you said, the main thing is you know, this is safe You know that this person is not going to put you down or reject you or do it So and the pleasure is there because there's intimacy, you know, and we say that in Relationship we say that the pleasure will only be there when there's intimacy and there's intimacy in this relationship So it is actually really normal and very it happens very smoothly and automatically in some ways when it does happen I think I also would like to add that I know he says that he's not bisexual We hear a lot of young people saying that they've experimented with the same sex person. They're not bisexual They're not gay and it might well be the case that you're not bisexual or not gay But it could also be that you are bisexual. It's absolutely okay I think there's still a certain level of fear or discomfort in your own mind about Thinking that you might be slightly different. There is a certain amount of fear that still exists in people's minds So I just want to put it out there that Even if you discover in time that you are actually bisexual, that's okay, too There's nothing to be afraid of and actually when we look at the research especially there was you know, lots of research done in 1960s around this and what they found was that Most people believe they were heterosexual or homosexual and when they did the research It actually came out that majority of people were actually bisexual and being bisexual doesn't mean it means That you might be attracted to somebody you might have had a fantasy you might have a dream You might have thought of having sex and it's just that's where we are You know society has made these boxes of or you have to be heterosexual or you have to be homosexual But in reality human beings were meant to be somewhere in the middle They were meant to be bisexual And see my you will know more about this We know that the centuries people have engaged in sex with the same sex partner And a lot of them will identify as men who have sex with men This is a very popular tradition in South America in Africa and even in Asia Where it was a very common way of seeking pleasure and having sex with the same sex partners and we know about You know a lot of these traditions even to Greeks the ancient Roma and etc Everywhere so so there I think it's more with time and the homophobia that's taken over That it's actually made people like afraid about their own sexuality and their own desire But in reality, it's very normal to have this have these desires And I think that there are degrees of attraction that you can feel for other people You could be bisexual but be more attracted to a person of the opposite sex Or you could be bisexual and be more attracted to the person of the same sex as you Somebody actually wrote to me the other day saying I understand straight and understand me But I don't understand bisexual. What is this bisexual and it literally is like you said something that is coming more into our My upfront mind, you know, like we're thinking about it more people are talking about it more and If there is a certain amount of confusion around it, I understand it's not easy For people who come from very conservative backgrounds to suddenly sort of divert themselves and say, yeah, this is absolutely. Okay. It's fine But I just want to say that like with so many other things that you have found difficult to accept in the beginning as Time goes on you will understand this better and in the case of this young man who says that he still fantasizes about it and Masterbates to that memory, you know That's not unusual either because Whatever the memories are that excite you no matter how old they are if that was pleasurable It'll always be there to help you when you next pleasure yourself I was actually just going to say that, you know When we are masturbating we always go back to experiences that have been exciting that have been pleasurable that have been You know that have made us feel around and so this is the pleasure memory That's what you're going to go back to you're not going to go back to a bad sexual experience through a master wage You're going to go back to a good sexual experience and that's what it is And you know talking about when you were saying that it's more and more normal I actually feel very proud of the younger generations because I think the homophobia has reduced They are way more open to gender diversity and they're way more open To sexual diversity.  So because they're not home that homophobic They're actually more open To trying to experiment to allowing themselves, you know, they feel attracted to say if a woman feels attracted to a woman She's she is willing to take that risk now. She's not suddenly think oh, you know, that's not okay I can't go and you know flirt with a woman because that's not okay They're now actually willing to go and flirt with a woman try a relationship with a woman Experiment sexually with the same partner So it's actually a really great time for young people because they are not actually holding themselves back And saying oh no, this is bad. I think they're allowing What gives them, you know, if they if they desire something and they think that there's pleasure there They're willing to take the risk and try it out. Which is wonderful, you know, it'll work sometimes It won't work sometimes, but at least you try it So in closing, I think what we're both saying is that no, um, nothing is wrong with you. Yes, you're absolutely normal And you wouldn't believe how many people actually go through exactly the same experience Not everyone is brave enough to come forward But hopefully you having asked this question will answer this for a lot of other people who haven't had the chance to ask us So I hope that you found that useful and I hope that you feel a lot more comforted having heard our answers And as always, please do comment like subscribe We look forward to hearing from you and we look forward to answering more of your questions. Thank you

That is. Yeah True golds are like the best True golds are insane. You did pick the case like you picked it. I gotta give you props. You did Blake picked this case out for you, Sean. Gotta give him props Refractors Jordan Walker and tress Gonzalez If I saw the corner of the auto and I know he signs that james are kind of crazy I was like, oh boy. I saw the orioles and I was like, I want you to tell me who the team is because I think it's orioles I don't want to say it That's why I said I think I know who this is Uh blue sky blue and banger aldriga's paper 223 of 499 Got sky blue first, uh, Blake, uh, Burke halter the brain Mercedes and manzardo refractors six, okay Look at that one slabbed up, too Yeah, here I gotta stand right here.

I love my mom, but my goodness Like I have to remind her to lock like she'll talk on the phone And then she'll get off and not click the side and then always wonder why her phone dies because she doesn't lock It's just open And then she misses ellie dala cruise. I believe this is a photo variation as well um It doesn't answer her phone because it doesn't ring because it's open logan tanner first refractor and yule But slowly but surely teacher or how to what's up dak?

Congrats. We'll get this right out to you


If the acceleration is constant, a straight line motion, what it will be constant at V2? So V2 minus V1 is constant, the velocity time graph will be a straight line. I am going sequentially step by step. So the basics, they will realize that the most difficult problem also, they will be able to solve it. Because you are not able to think, that will not help you. Any doubts? Till now? Okay, now I want you to draw, suppose it is moving a straight line, it is constant. Can you plot xt graph? Okay, somebody said this. Over here, is it close to zero or not? xt is not changing there. If the time changes little bit, xt remains more or less same. So I can say that xt is not changing. Over here, this much change is there. Same on this much. Are you getting it? It is increasing. Velocity is decreasing. Velocity is decreasing. Can you plot it and then speed? Velocity is decreasing. See the way myself again, the understanding becomes better and better. The gradient decreases. Others? Then? Okay, not that. What about this? What is happening here? It is going backward. xt is going backward. Is it xt? Is it xt? What is that? This much distance, same amount of time. Getting it to ten, now it is coming to xt below zero. Moving backward. And now it is this direction. And then it will push this way forward. Sorry, backwards. Let us take more. Why more? Okay guys, it becomes straight line. What? Velocity? It moves towards the xt axis but it does not catch it. There will be some xt. It is standing to zero. See this relationship decreases the magnitude. But xt is in initial backwards. Okay, acceleration. But when it is going backwards and studied separately. Okay.


In 1948, Claude Shannon identified the fundamental concept of information theory. Information is an answer you don't already know. So how much information does a graph contain? Suppose you have a graph. The graph represents relationships between objects. So I can answer questions like, are you and V related? How many other objects is you related to? What happens to the relationships if V is removed, and so on? Suppose we want to use our graph to answer a question. If our question has k possible answers, where answer A i occurs with frequency p i, then the information content of the graph can be found using the Shannon entropy, which is the sum of the frequencies times the logs to base 2 of the frequencies. For example, let's consider the complete graph k n, and let's determine how much information is contained by the degrees of the vertices. So the question, what is the degree of the vertex, will only have one answer, n minus 1. And this will be the answer 100% of the time. So the Shannon entropy will be, so the graph's degrees actually contain zero bits of information. Now this might seem a little peculiar, so let's explain why the result is unsurprising. Remember, information is an answer you don't already know, and because the graph is k n, we already knew the degree of any vertex. So this isn't surprising, because we know in advance the degree of any vertex is n minus 1. An important idea to keep in mind, the Shannon entropy depends on the information we expect to get. For example, if our channel outputs a letter, the information we expect to get is the letter and not the shoe size of the center. A graph can convey a great deal of information, so we need to focus on one type of information at a time. So let's say we have a graph like this, so if our question is what is the degree of a vertex, we find the possible answers are, and their frequencies are, using these values we can compute the graph entropy. The answer 1 occurs with frequency 1, 6. The answer 2 occurs with frequency 1, 6. The answer is 3 occurs with frequency 3, 6. And 4 occurs with frequency 1, 6. And so the entropy will be, so our graph contains about 1.797 bits of information about the degree of the vertices. Now not all information is equally useful. For example, we might want to use our graph to decide how the different nodes influence each other. One possibility is to base the influence on the degree of the node, with the total influence based on the degrees of all nodes. So imagine each node in a graph to be a source of some quantity which we'll call inspiration. Then a question might be, which node produces inspiration? What we'll need is a model for a frequency that a node produces inspiration. At this point, we'll need to invoke some creativity. And so here's everything I can teach you about being creative. While no one can teach creativity, it's possible to look for patterns. If we want to model the probability a node is inspired, we might note that in the real world, inspiration often comes from connections to other people or ideas. For example, watching YouTube videos. So the frequency that a node creates inspiration might have something to do with the degree of the node. This suggests that we might model the probability a node creates inspiration as where dk is the degree of the vertex k and alpha is some constant. This gives us another way to measure the informational entropy of a graph. We'll refer to this as the alpha degree graph entropy. While we can choose alpha to be anything, there are some obvious choices. For example, alpha equal to 1 suggests that inspiration is proportional to connections. On the other hand, if we imagine inspiration as coming from a cross-fertilization of ideas, and if a vertex has di neighbors, there are di choose 2 or roughly di squared pairs. So alpha equals 2 might be more interesting. So for example, let's find the 2 degree graph entropy. We have alpha equals 2. So the frequency associated with a node with degree dk will be... Now our nodes have degrees 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, and 1. And so the sum of the squares of the degrees will be... And we might view this as the total inspiration produced by all nodes. The node of degree 4 will have 4 squared 48 of this inspiration, which we can regard as the frequency it will produce it. So including that in our graph entropy. Likewise, the nodes with degree 3 will each have 3 squared 48 of this inspiration. So we'll include those quantities. Likewise, for the nodes of degree 2 and 1. And so we compute. And this gives us a graph entropy of about 2.3. The study of graph entropy is actually very recent, so it's not known how important it is. But a 2023 study by Swarov-Mondal and Ginkai Chandra Das showed a strong correlation between the 2 degree entropy of graphs that represent molecular structures and several physical properties. So graph entropy metrics, there are many others, may be able to give us insights into anything that can be represented as a graph, which includes almost everything.
