Hello everybody, Andrea Trouse here with Dental L Tutoring. So last night we had a tutoring session for about an hour. And if you've been thinking about becoming a Dental L member, now is a good time to start because I have been adding tons of things because now I do this full time. So I've been tutoring for about 13 years, but I was a dental assistant full time and then I became a dental hygienist full time and then I was a restorative hygienist, I guess, part time. But now I'm only working at the dental office twice a week, which is good because I can still offer that real world experience, but for the most part though, I tutor. So I am here to help. And now I do tutoring live sessions every single Sunday. And if you're not able to attend a session, that is okay because I do save all of them. So you can watch them anytime. But let me just show you guys the one that I did yesterday. So this was not too long ago. I'm just gonna share my screen here. So at every single tutoring session, we work on case studies because everybody loves case studies and we all know how hard they are to kind of get used to. And if you're studying for the board exam, these are the types of things that you have to know. So it would be the case studies, right? So let me just show you guys a few examples. So this session took about actually an hour and 14 minutes. So it was a little bit longer, but everybody loves them because it's case study. So just as an example, let me kind of go through a couple of questions here. So let's do this one. So you are assisting the dentist in another deep preparation. The cavity is large and needs to be cleaned up. The patient's been told he may need a root canal at some point. What can be placed if the pulp is slightly exposed? Is it calcium hydroxide? Is it glass ionomer? Is it composite or is it amalgam? Now this is a perfect example of having too much information, but that is what the board exam likes to do. They just put in there as much info as they can, but there's only some key points in here that you need to pay attention to. So if this looks confusing to you, try to keep it simple. So the main things that you have to make sure to focus on is what is the question asking? So typically look at the last part, is what can be placed if the pulp is slightly exposed? That's the question, that's it, and that's the answer that you have to think of. So all of this other stuff that I had said or that I have here in the question is part of the question, but do you have to know all of that? No, the main thing that you have to know is the actual question portion. Is what can be placed if the pulp is slightly exposed? So the part where I said that you are assisting the dentist in another deep preparation, yes, that's a good thing to know, but do you have to know that? No, and then I said that the cavity is large and needs to be cleaned out. Well, if you're assisting in a prep, that typically means there's a cavity, and if it's a deep one, then it's larger. So all of this info you don't really have to pay attention to. And then the next part that the patient's been told he may need a root canal at some point. Does that really involve the question? Not really. It's good to know, I suppose, as like kind of a background information, but it's not really that critical. So anyways, you guys, so that was just kind of a longer explanation on it, but so what can be placed if the pulp is slightly exposed? Which one do you think? So the answer is calcium hydroxide, also referred to as diacal. So that is the company name. On the board exam, they could use either or, so you do need to know each of them. So yes, this can be placed if the pulp is slightly exposed. If all of it's exposed, you obviously need to do something else, right? You can't just simply put on a liner and then a, and then probably a base and then a filling, you kind of need more than that first. So such as a root canal. So does that make sense? So let's go through one more question and see how you guys do here. So you are instructed to take impressions for a patient who needs a night guard. What types of impressions will you take? So will you take elginates with a bite registration? Will you take elginates without? Will you take stone models with or plaster models without? So again, you have to know, okay, if I'm taking a night guard, what do I need to do? So think outside the box. What would you be setting up for? What types of things do you need? And this is perfect for the dental assistants out there, for the dental hygienists out there. These are the types of things that you do have to know, especially when you start to work in the real world because they may not train you. They may likely train you, but then they just assume that you know this. So yes, so the answer is A. So any time you are taking impressions for a night guard, you need the elginates of course and also the bite registration. So you need to know how the patient closes down. If the lab does not have that information, they cannot make the night guard. So as you guys can see, there's a lot of case studies and they're complicated. Some are easier, some are complicated. So if you would like to become a part of this, I do the case studies here. I'll stop sharing my screen for a second, but I do the case studies now every single Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern time. And there's a new topic every single Sunday. So you guys will have tons of case studies. So by the end of everything, before you take your exam, you will know as much as possible, okay? So now is a good time to become a member because I am adding lots. And also for the mock exams, I typically add two new ones a week. You have tons of them in there now, but I am adding even more. So now is a good time. I'll post the links on the bottom of the video if you're not sure. And if you guys have any questions as always, just let me know.


Good morning. Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to another vlog. My sleep schedule has been not the best the last few days I've been working on trying to get back to my normal sleeping schedule and earlier wake-up time It's been a little rough the last few mornings, but I'm excited because today is super sunny I'm one of those people I 100% get my energy and my life sourced from the Sun if I wake up in the morning And it's cloudy and dark outside. I will have the hardest time getting out of bed, but today It's really sunny and warm out. So I'm excited to start my day and have a good day I'm working at the salon today. So of course, I'm gonna bring you along It's gonna be a bit of a longer day for me though I have two clients that have a little bit of a gap between the two of them So I will probably not be done until around eight o'clock tonight The first client I have coming in is coming for a balayage and she came in several weeks ago for a haircut Her hair is really thick and dark naturally and when I first met her, we did her haircut We discussed her hair color and I have so many pretty Inspiration pictures anytime I've been scrolling through Instagram and I see a pretty color that is similar to what we discussed I've been saving it So I can't wait to show her the pictures that I saved and see what she thinks about that And it's just gonna be so pretty and she is just so nice and she also has gorgeous hair So it's gonna be a win-win like doing her hair is gonna be enjoyable and also You know hanging out with her and talking with her throughout the duration of the appointment will be good too That's the best when you have clients that you just click with and the conversation is just like really easy And just flows naturally because people ask me if I ever get nervous When I have a new client coming in for the first time and It kind of depends like most of the time nowadays that I am more experienced I'm more confident in not only my actual hair skills, but also my consultation skills I don't really get nervous, but I don't know some days I guess I kind of do a little bit because you just never know what to expect Especially if you haven't already done like a pre-consult with them And you don't even know what they look like or what their hair looks like you truly have no idea what's gonna walk through the door So sometimes that can be a little scary because it's like oh god Is this gonna end up being a crazy color correction? Do I have the appropriate amount of time blocked out for this person?  Are they gonna be nice? Do they have realistic expectations or are they gonna be you know? A little cuckoo and impossible to please Luckily, I feel like those clients have been like few and far between for me lately, but it definitely still happens You really just never know and that aspect of it can be a little bit nerve-wracking But like I said the more experience that you get you just kind of know how to handle those types of situations So even if you get a client that's difficult, you know how to handle it But it is nice when people can come in for an in-person Consultation or like this girl today come in for a haircut so we can consult about the color before the actual color appointment that way going into it I already know exactly what to expect and then my second client is actually one of my friends and It's been several months Since she got her hair done her hair is naturally pretty dark and she likes it to be super blonde Okay, makeup is done. I just had my usual routine that I've been doing recently with the color pop nude mood eyeshadow palette and I usually just mix these two bottom shades and use a little angled brush like that and I do a little wing with the eye shadow and then my lips. I had did Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk Liner and then I put this gloss on top or pixie in the shade sheer bros God if you guys saw my last or like two blogs ago When I toned my hair it's already been a little over two weeks since I had did that and I've been out in the sun. I don't know if you can tell I've been working on my summer tan And it has already faded back Pretty much to where it was at and my roots are starting to become noticeable again Trying to decide what to do. I do like the copper color But it's just really hard to maintain and to keep it like the perfect Even shade of copper that I like and then when my roots grow in they're so obvious So, I don't know part of me wants to just go brown again Like maybe not as dark as it was before but like a chocolatey brown Just saw it all over and then another part of me wants to do a balayage Because I kind of miss having the dimension and like the little money piece and all that like I just feel like that's fun for summer and then having the Dimension when I wear my hair curly is really pretty. But anyway, I blow-dried my hair last night So now I'm just kind of smoothing it out and putting a little flip on the ends. This is the wavy talk thermal brush thermal round brush that was Supervival on tic-tac a few months ago and I actually like this because it's not like a blow-dried brush that blows air out It just gets hot to the touch, but then it has these bristles that grip your hair So it gives you the look of a blowout and you can just do it on your hair dry Okay, there we go. Just a little something of a little flip on the ends and then I'm gonna do these earrings. I just got these last week at TJ Maxx The brand is Everry never heard of it before but they're so fun They remind me of like clip-on earrings my mom used to have back in the 90s But yeah, the TJ Maxx jewelry section has been good. I don't really go in there that often. I got these The same time how freaking cute these are from the house of Harlow brand So pretty I wore these last week You can tell I wear these to work a lot because in the little like crevices. There's these tiny little hairs and Can't forget my perfume I've really been into the Amberie cherry from dossier lately. Okay, so here is my outfit for the day Don't mind my messy room. The whole apartment is a mess. I have laundry.  My brother was in town for Easter weekend So, yeah, I just did not get any of my chores done. Anyway, here's the outfit for today This top is from Old Navy pants are from Aira pastel and then the shoes are from Target and I know it's probably dangerous to wear an all-white outfit to go work in a hair salon But I'm gonna try my best to be careful both of my clients today are just getting highlights So it's just gonna be bleach. So hopefully the clothes will be fine I'm gonna grab my stuff and head out of here. I will see you at the salon So this was client number one's hair before like I said, she's got a lot of it She's really thick beautiful hair and she does have some old kind of faded grown-out highlights from a couple years ago but the goal was to give her beautiful ribbons of like a coppery brown kind of color but keep it really low maintenance and blended Dimensional so I did a full head of TZ lights a combination of TZ lights with T slices So that would still be blended and soft towards the top But you would definitely get those pops of color on the ends and it turned out so beautiful. I'm obsessed. She loved it Amazing and then this was my friend Madison's hair as you can see it was quite grown out and a little bit more Solid so her grow out was you know more noticeable and she had a lot of dimension that was left in the back She wanted to get rid of the dimension make the ends completely solid and just make it Brighter and more icy so you can see her roots. I just blurred them out so beautifully So she's still super super blonde, but it'll be a softer more seamless grow out. It's just so pretty I'm obsessed. Good afternoon. It's the next day. It is already Almost 230. I'm telling you it's something about those really big hair appointments Like I can work an eight to ten hour shift and have like four standard appointments and feel fine But if I have like one or two really big appointments, it just completely Drains the life out of me. I'm very grateful that today. I Don't have to work today actually on Monday I was looking at the weather for the week and planning out what I was gonna do when and I knew it was gonna be raining all day today So today was the day I plan to just stay home and clean the apartment So I'm grateful that today I can just stay home and I have stuff that I need to do But there's no time crunch for it. So yeah slept in very late today and I'm still in my pajamas I was about to go lay in bed Just watch YouTube videos on my laptop. Maybe watch a movie or something I turned the AC up So that is blasting right now and it is so cold and that's just what I want to do like I want to have the AC turned up and get under the covers and just get cozy and Watch some YouTube videos relax So that's what I'm gonna do It's gonna be the perfect day to like recharge my social battery too because I'm just gonna stay home and not talk to anybody Love these days Needed yesterday. I'm feeling really good today Well rested social battery is charged on full. So I'm making myself a cappuccino this morning Look at that. So beautiful Pour in my Espresso and then I'm gonna put a little bit Little bit of sugar and then we got our steamed milk And I'm gonna put a little bit of cinnamon on top amazing delicious I need to remember to take an allergy pill before I leave Apollo is intense this year and I have my windows open because it's so nice outside and I want to get the fresh air But it is making me sneeze like crazy. It is several hours later. It's almost 130 I finally put my laundry away. Let me show you all that laundry gone Put everything away Closet is all nice and organized again But I'm getting ready now to go to my friend Haley's house We are going to make dinner and some drinks and just hang out and then we're going to a tea pain concert I'm so excited. There is this big festival that they do here in Wilmington every year called the Azalea festival And this is like my third spring Living here and this is gonna be my first time Going to it and they always have a bunch of different concerts this year One of the concerts is a TV concert and I'm especially looking forward to it because it's Thursday today Tomorrow, I'm gonna be home all day. I have computer work stuff I need to do like, you know some admin things But I don't have to be in the salon So I feel like I can actually go out tonight and have a good time let loose stay out late That's the one thing that kind of sucks about working on Saturdays if my friends want to go out and do something Friday night, I'll have work the next morning So I gotta, you know, be careful. Especially now as I'm getting older My body can't bounce back from sleep deprivation and being out all night drinking need way more time to recover nowadays So, yeah, that'll be fun. I'm not entirely sure what time the concert supposed to end at or if there's gonna be stuff going on Afterwards if we're gonna end up staying out We can kind of just like let the night take us the only thing that's kind of a bummer is it's been So warm and beautiful. I don't mean it is a beautiful day It's really sunny and it's not cold but I think the high is only supposed to be in like the low to mid 60s and then the low tonight Is gonna drop down to like the 40s It just figures like the last two nights even at nine o'clock. It was still warm out Be nice if tonight would have been like that too, but whatever. Okay, makeup is done Except for lips, but I'm about to do my hair and I thought I would show you how I'm doing it because I know I get requested to share Hair tutorials and I feel like slick backs Parted slick backs specifically have been requested So I'm gonna show you how we do it first things first though because I want to do half up and I'll leave The bottom down so first I'm going to load up my hair with dry shampoo the IGK charcoal detox is my absolute favorite I Soak up all that oil when I am doing a slick back and I want to keep a part I will take a Chunk like this.

I feel so like Spice Girls 90s early 2000s kind of vibes. Okay. Here is my outfit. Sorry that it's a little bit dark The leather jacket is from H&M. These pants are from Express. I'll try to get some clips tonight But uh, no promises. Trying to live in the moment and whatnot I didn't end up vlogging anything yesterday because I just didn't do anything exciting It was another day where I just stayed home got computer work done washed my hair. Oh my god You should have saw this like back I wish I got a clip of it when I came home and took my hair down It still just stayed exactly as it is basically she was secure So definitely had to wash that and I got more laundry done Washed all my bed sheets that kind of stuff So it was like a little bit of a reset day sort of but the concert was really fun But today I'm working up the salon.  It was fully booked a few days ago But my first client Cancelled so I had my morning open and then yesterday The front desk booked someone with me for this morning and this is a new client She was booked for a highlight and haircut But then the front desk person added a note saying client says she has severely bleached damaged hair so like that's strange and a red flag to me and We require having a credit card on file for our cancellation policy. There is no card on file This note says that the credit card form was sent to this person to fill out. She obviously never filled it out. I am really Nervous because a I don't even know this person's gonna show up B if she does show up I have no idea what to expect. I don't know if It's gonna be the right fit for me if what she's gonna want is going to be realistic or you know like I just like there's a lot of Weirdness like I'm getting red flags from this and I texted the front desk girl and she Hasn't answered me yet. So I'm wondering I kind of feel like I should just call the salon because I'm not sure Who's working today? I feel like I should just call the salon see who's there and be like hey Can you call this girl and like just confirm that she's planning on coming because I oh my god Obviously, it's not okay to not share your appointment ever But like if it's the last person of the day then it's like alright Well, I'll go home now at least but when it's your first one of the day or like right in the middle of your day Oh that is I wanted to share this For any of my fellow hairstylists, especially if you are a newer stylist or if you're in Cosmetology school or anything like that. I still try to give people benefit of the doubt I just feel like that's only fair And I hope that I always stay that way like I don't want to become this like you know miserable jaded person that Just assumes the worst out of everybody But I have learned over the years doing hair and dealing with people and dealing with shady people and getting Taking advantage of and screwed over and all that kind of stuff.  I texted the person that is doing the front desk today It's not the same person that was there yesterday who booked this client asked her if she could call My first client's I was like, yeah, I don't know. I just have like a sketchy feeling and We don't have her card on file. So can you just call her and just confirm that she's planning on coming? she said she called her twice and No answer. I called twice went straight to a voicemail, but I left a message That is on a good sign if I had spoke to this fight myself When I was booking like first of all, I would say hey We need your card information on file in order to book an appointment So I wouldn't have even booked it without the card information first But then I also would have just clarified like the appointment will not be confirmed Until we have your credit card on file So your stylist is not going to show up unless we have your card information on file Because now Like a big part of me is telling me to just not even bother going in because I really have a strong feeling That she's not going to show up. But then what if she does that's gonna make me look bad because as far as the client knows She has an appointment that's booked So you would assume and expect your stylist to be there either way today will be a good day Because my other two clients are super nice and it's gonna be easy I'm not like this is gonna be the easiest Salon day I've had in a long time because I'm not doing a crap ton of foiling and dealing with a lot of hair By the way here is my outfit for the day actually feel really cute and it's really comfy So I am loving this outfit and I just threw it together super fast this Set the shirt and pants. I actually got from Amazon I'll link it down below and then this shirt is from Urban Outfitters I just tucked it up because it's really big and oversized. It's actually kind of like a t-shirt dress So I tucked it into my bra, and then I'm wearing my high-top Converse, I'll see you at the salon so to my surprise My first client ended up calling the salon as I was about to leave and said she was on her way So normally I swear I Try to give people benefit of the doubt and I feel like there's been so many times where I Will feel kind of naive like oh, yeah, it'll be fine. They'll show up and then they don't So this was the first that I was like just had the instinct that she wasn't gonna show and then she did But this was her hair before so she had just been getting like bleach and tones Very high maintenance color and her hair really like was not that damaged I mean it was a little bit. It was kind of over processed But just what you would expect from someone that's like a platinum blonde all over So what she wanted was something that was gonna be a little bit more low maintenance So she wouldn't have to be bleaching her hair as frequently So I did little baby lights around her hairline to brighten those up And then everything else in between I actually painted on a low light And I just dragged it down a few inches from her root just so we could soften up and blur That like root area So I did a root smudge and a gloss on her hair after that and this was the final hair It was so stunning like I even Kind of blew myself away to be honest and she loved it. She ended up being so nice So thank God Christ is averted and then my second client is actually my friend's mom She is amazing super easy as you can see she doesn't really have a lot of hair And she only comes and gets her hair done a couple times a year So I just do a bunch of fine baby lights all over just so that it's really low maintenance and blended and easy And this was her final hair super pretty give her a little bit of a money piece She's been liking that and then my third client came in for a Malibu CPR treatment so it was a two-step process I did the Malibu color disruptor first and then followed by the CPR treatment Basically she had really really dark hair naturally has dark hair went and got it lightened somewhere else didn't like it felt like it was really uneven and it felt really damaged and Yeah, so we've just it's just been kind of a journey This was step one in the process to kind of remove the dark color She had because that was that was the thing she didn't like the lighter color So she put a dark box color on it so I wanted to remove that kind of see what we were working with give her a nice haircut and I'm excited to see where we go from here Hello, it is Many hours later. It is like nine o'clock now. I was going to maybe go meet up with my friend downtown, but we don't feel like it at all like the thought of going out right now and it's kind of cold out and I Just want to get cozy in bed, but my clients went really well that girl did not know show She showed up and she was actually really cool I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure she was a little hard to read But she ended up being really cool And she loved her hair in the end her sister came to pick her up and she loved her hair and she ended up looking in Appointment with me. Yeah, it was just a good day. Like it was very smooth. It flowed. Well, I was able to clean as I go And everyone was just really cool and nice. I'm gonna go change it to my pajamas and go lay in bed I'm gonna wrap up this vlog here. Thank you guys so much for watching Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss my next video and I'll see you really soon Bye


The first point is that we have to ensure that learners go beyond simply listening to lectures or simply passively watching videos and then doing the practice later. For example, we can have LBDs which immediately follow LEDs so that the learner gets immediate practice and immediate feedback on their actions after watching a small segment of the video that you want them to learn. So the idea is that you do not want to keep activities to later and expect learners to do them at home at a different time. So interspersing the activities along with the lecture content is desirable and it is a good way of ensuring that learners are not simply passive during the course. The LCM model naturally brings the idea of learner centricity through its elements LED, LXG, LBD and LXI and this is a structural way of looking at a learner centric MOOC. But another powerful equally powerful and perhaps more important way of looking at a learner centric MOOC is through an interaction lens. And the question to ask there is what are the interactions that a learner is doing with the content, with the instructor, with the TAs, with the other learners and so on. The idea of learner centricity in a MOOC, the core idea of it is similar to what instructors implement in a face to face classroom when for example, they teach using active learning techniques. They do activities, they reflect, they discuss with their neighbors, they write, they draw, they talk, they articulate their reasoning. And what the learner centric MOOC model does is incorporate these strategies into the new medium. So, getting your material into a learner centric tone depends heavily on how do you think of these learner connect issues while creating your content. For example, if a question is asked and people are supposed to discuss about it and if the question has one direct yes or no answer, then probably the person who has visited the discussion forum first time will answer it and the rest of the people will not find any useful material to read along. On the other hand, if the question provides options for the learners to put their diverse viewpoints or even reflect upon each other's viewpoints and then keep going along with the direction, keeping the central idea of the question, that will result in actual discussion which is a very positive sign of learning using this, the massiveness and the diversity of the course. So, that is one way of keeping the connect throughout the course. An important aspect in an online learning is giving the teaching presence as well as the social presence of the instructor to better generate learner engagement in the course. Now, these principles of teaching presence and social presence comes from the community of inquiry framework. It talks of three different spheres of presence required from the instructor. One is the cognitive presence in terms of selection of content, utilization of the learning content. Then there is the social presence where the instructor tries to create a meaningful interaction with the learners both in terms of peer to peer connect as well as learner to instructor connect and there is this overall teaching presence of how they utilize the cognitive presence and social presence to effectively orchestrate an online offering of a course. So, it is important to first for an instructor to set the instructional climate by providing meaningful instructions, what are the do's, what are the don's, what will the learner get if they go through the follow the instruction, not just go through, follow the instructions, what are the positives that they will get and why should they avoid the don'ts. So, this is also another place where the teaching presence plays a critical role and if you are doing a learner centric MOOC, then it is important to focus on these three aspects of cognitive presence, social presence and teaching presence and understanding how they play an important part while you are orchestrating a course, massive open online course with so much diverse learners and so much different levels coming into the course.


Dear students, I welcome you in the course of Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and Decision Making. This is module number 215 and our topic of discussion is Converting the Decision into Action. Once we have elaborated the problem, the next important thing for us is that now we should do decision making to solve this problem. And once the decision is taken, the next important thing for us is that now we should implement the decision in execution. Now to execute the decision, it is very important for us to understand the action steps and we can know which action steps we should do with them. For example, the first thing we should understand is that we have to be there for converting the decision into action and remember that it is the most time consuming factor. And the time consuming factor is that during execution, we get many kinds of resistances. We have to keep our driving forces more than the resisting forces because until we do not do the resisting forces, the resistance would always be stopping us, would always be creating inertia for us. The second important thing which we need to understand is that action requires a lot of commitment from the start. We will have to keep our attention focused from the start. We will have to maintain our focus. We will have to keep our commitment in mind that what is our commitment because without that commitment, our association, our affiliation with the problem and with the decision cannot develop. And if it does not develop, then obviously we will not be able to achieve fruitful outcome. The third important thing when we are talking about decision into action is that decision always comes with work assignment and responsibility. And obviously somebody needs to be accountable. Somebody needs to be responsible. Somebody needs to be there to make the things happen, to materialize the things. So we have to be careful that accountability and responsibility is important. And when we talk about the policy, remember that policy is the general guideline for making decision. So policy without action plan is useless. And policy for us will be applicable which is applicable and in terms of its practicality and implementation. And we will not be able to implement anything that is not applicable to us. We will not be able to implement anything that is not applicable to us. Now, when we are talking about converting the decision into action, remember that the decision should be disclosed to concerned people with immediate effect because the mom stakeholders, whether it is the four-way wins, whether it is our home, whether it is our profession, whether it is a community or whether it is our own, we should be clear about what are the decisions, what are the problems and those should be appropriately communicated. So all the stakeholders must have the confidence. All the stakeholders will involve, because without that, the effectiveness of the decision will be challenged. The second important thing is that the action must also be appropriate to the capacities of the people who have to carry it out. So what are the competencies of the people? And at what level are they operating? According to that, obviously we have to do delegation of authority. And people will resume their empowerment under the delegation of authority and then they are there to take the action, they are there to take the decisions. Therefore, remember that we have to clearly understand the capabilities of the people, their competencies, their proficiencies, what are they? Another important thing when we talk about decision making and that is talking about action commitment. And remember that action commitment becomes doubly important when people have to change their behavior, habits, and or attitudes. Now this is a very important thing because at times during the implementation of the decision, people will have to change their behavior, their habits. And it is very difficult for people to change themselves related to any particular instance or any particular circumstances. We, being a leader, being emotionally intelligent people, have to focus on this, that now to implement that decision, to implement any decision, what are the requirements in the habits and attitudes of the people? And according to that requirement, it is possible that we have to do all the mentoring programs, coaching programs, their training and development. When decisions are being converted into action, then at that time, we have to face many types of enemies and difficulties. But we have to be persistent. We should overcome the resistances. And this was our main effort during emotional intelligence that we can maintain our resilience. Dear students, if we conclude all this, then remember that when decision is being transferred in practice, at that time there are certain resistances and resistances which are taking place. And it is very important to overcome those resistances in our leadership perspective. And we will be able to overcome them only when we take our decisions with emotional intelligence. Thank you.


Hello there, how are you? I have you to say adieu. Adieu, adieu, adieu. Oh, that was a good one. Ha ha ha! Josh!  I'm Rick. Gafalse, you've hurt your hand? Yeah. Gafalse, Instagram, Twitter, for GC content, they get us some sort of Patreon, follow us on the accounts, we grab our like button. Today we have another food video, and this is How Indian MasterChef makes Dosa Idli in my world. Oh my, Dosa Idli in my world. I think this is really kind of Bonapetite. Bonapetite. Oh yeah. You know we like channels that start with the word bone. Ha, yeah. Let's just get into that. I know, it's technically bone. Bonapetite. No, it's bone apetite.  Yeah, Joe Apatow's Nipple is the bone apetite. I'm the Exegguri chef and partner at SEMA in New York City. Oh, look at that. Today we're going to turn all these ingredients into five different types of rice and dental paste and make us all very hungry in the process. India has one of the oldest culture and currently tradition in the world. Some of the dishes that we're going to be making today has been made for hundreds and hundreds of years. The first thing we're going to do is make the batter. Oh, Dosa. I've made that. Rice, that's lentils. Probably not as good as he does. It's like a thin crepe. Gunpowder Dosa? Grated rice and dental batter. At SEMAW, we're trying to cook the food that most of the western countries have not seen so far. There are a lot more than chicken tikka masala. It did. That's why I turned my head. The dishes that we're going to be making today are Southern Indian comfort food. When someone comes to a restaurant, they should feel like, oh, this is exactly how I grew up eating it. These are the dishes that my mom and grandma used to cook. They just sped it up because you have to let that soak for like 12 hours. I'm going to add the rice first because it's going to take longer to get breaded. You can find Dosa's in every single household and even in streets in India too. We grow a lot of rice in Southern Indians. So that's why most of our business consists of rice and lentils. When it's half bitter, then I'll add the lentils. You make sure you don't blend them too much. You just make sure that it has a little bit of grainy texture. As a kid, I was always helping my mom in the kitchen. So I think I was in the eighth grade or something when he was making me first Dosa's. I ruined it so badly. It took me a while to practice it. That's not a surprise. I would have made at least like 50,000 Dosa's. At least you have to let it be in the room temperature for minimum 6 hours. Once it's fermented, then Dosa's ready to make. If you make it too liquid, it's very hard to make Dosa's. So you have to be very careful with the consistency. Kind of like a pancake kind of consistency. The batter is ready. Now it's time to make Dosa's. So Dawa is like iron-cured. When you sprinkle the water, you can see the sizzling. So that means it has a right amount of temperature. Just pour over batter. Just spread them as thin as possible. That's a stainless steel cup. It's called Katori. That's a cup that I used to spread the Dosa batter on the griddle. It's not as easy as it's making a look. Yeah. If you make it too thick, it's like a pancake. Sprinkle some gun powder. And yes, the kind you have in the cabinet in Texas closets. It is a ground lentils and chilies. It's on the middle. Basically, it's potatoes which has like seeds and ginger, red chilies, and lentils and chilies. You just mix them all the spices and potatoes together. Then you get a very aromatic, fragrant of the spice potatoes. My word. You can just fold them any preferable shape that you want. It looks like you've made 50,000 of these. It stays hot. Dosa's enjoyable when it's hot and crispy. Let's start plating it. First dose we had in the video was all limp. You can eat them with any Japanese. At Samba, we actually serve the gun powder Dosa with sambar and tomatoes and coconut chutneys. Now we're done with Dosa's. It's time to make Uttapam now.  It is the same brand as Dosa actually. It's just the thickness of the Dosa and Uttapam is different. 3 quarter of the batter. I'm trying not to spread it as thin as like how I did for Dosa's. So it has a kind of pancake kind of thickness. So traditionally, we make with or without onions and tomatoes and chilies and cilantro. You can use any types of vegetables that you like. Also some gun powder. Actually, I took this gun powder recipe from my sister. Every household makes a different variation. It's the same ingredients but the proportions and the ratios are a little different. Basically, I don't want to see any batter. I just want to fill up the Uttapam with all the vegetables. Full that is. We try to keep the Uttapam seasonally. Oh my goodness, that looks good. Looks like a pizza. It looks like a Mexican pizza. I think we made these on my channel. Not this well. That looks like a pancake but the other side of it reminded me of a Mexican pizza from Taco Bell. The other side. You can also make the Uttapam without vegetables which has the same texture as the Uttapam and they can't color those. You just have to wait at least a couple of minutes to make sure you get the golden color. It comes with experience. If you leave it too long, it's going to get burnt. So you have to make sure you're in the right time. Or if you flip it too early also, the vegetable won't stick to the Uttapam. So you have to make sure you're taking the right time. Looks incredible. Wow. Tomato, coconut, chutneys. My word. That looks incredible. Let's make the idli next. It's a steam rice cake. We would need rice and lentils to make the batter but to make the idli, we need a different type of rice which is idli rice. It's a very tiny short grain rice. Interesting. So it's its own particular rice. Same exact, pretty much, procedure as those are. Yeah, let it soak for a billion hours. And fenugreek seeds. Minimum 6 hours.  Like you said. Idli's are not really soft. To make it soft, I know some guys who are like that. We have the rice and lentils. Fenugreek seeds gives nice flavor to the batter. Once the rice and lentils has been soaked, and then we're going to rinse them off, then we're just going to blend it. Blend it. Once lentils is blended half way through, then you add rice. Now I'm going to blend the rice and dal. Dahl is the name for lentils. You can add fenugreek seeds when you add lentils. Some people say that adding salt before the fermentation will slow down the fermentation. I feel like yes, salt may add a little different but the very important thing is room temperature plays major role in the fermentation. Now the batter is blended. I'm going to set it aside to ferment. I just want to make sure the idli doesn't get stick in the pan. So I use the muslin cloth. I sprinkle a little bit of water, then add the batter to the pan. Did you do that? I don't think so. People have been making idlis for the years. We don't know exactly but I have one of these. I'm making it but I can see makers like one of the world's oldest food in the planet. Every household will have it. The idli batter may rise when it's cooked. So you just add like right amount of batter to just fill up the hole. When you add too much, it's going to change the shape. Unless I'm wrong, most of these are South Indian dishes. We are steaming the idli so we don't need too much water. It's common as a breakfast thing. Do you make the mix the night before or does that mean it's fermenting too long? You can do it the night before. Once it's cooked, turn the flame off. Just let it rest for a few more minutes. So it will cook all the way through. We filmed. The start of it at night. That means it's indication that your idli is tea. Came back in the morning. So I just want to make sure the idli is cooked all the way through. So I just want to test it before I remove from the steamer. So if anything stuck to the skewer, I know it's not cooked enough. Then we have to cook it again. The skewer is clean so I know it's cooked. You're going to sprinkle some water to make sure the idli is not sticking to the pan. And then we need the muslin cloth. What sounds like? Oh, those look perfect. We used to have a huge idli steamer. We could make like at least 120 idli at the same time. Traditionally, they sell them in sambar and tomatoes and coconut milk. You had one? Yeah. Where'd you have it? Oh, no, you had it in South India. We did it in the same way. We went first to Delhi. That's right. I remember now. Next, we will make Pani Aram. So Pani Aram is a very popular South Indian snack. It can be a breakfast item, which is made out of either Indian batter or dosa batter. Pani Aram is actually one of my favorite snacks. To make the Pani Aram batter, I took some Idli batter. I added some chopped onions, chopped curry leaves, some grated coconut and some mustard seeds and asafoetida. Asafoetida is a little spicy so that you can find a lot of Indian cooking and some chopped ginger and red chilies. What is that? Tempering which is mustard seeds and red chilies. Oh wow. You just mix all the ingredients together with the idli batter. Mix mix mix. I also like to add a little cilantro. To make the paneeram, you guys don't call cilantro. It is like a cast-iron pan. The pan has to be hot enough to get the golden color. If it is too hot, it will burn. If it is too low, you won't get the golden color. It is definitely popular in southern India. You can find in all southern Indian homes and restaurants or in the street food like you can find everywhere. Every time my mom used to make it, she always woke us up in the morning when she started cooking it because she wants to make sure we set the light next to the stove and paneeram comes out of the pan. She wants to make sure we eat them when it's hot and fresh. I'm just going to use a skewer to flip it so that we cook it all the way through. That looks tasty. Every southern Indian house will have the paneeram pan and also those are pan. Oh man. I'm going to go to the hashbapis. The paneeram looks spicy with coconut chutney. It's a nifty little serving plate there. That's how you make the paneeram. Now let's make the idiyapam. Idiyapam is also called string hopper. It's basically a rice noodle. To make the idiyapam, we have to make the idiyapam dough fast. The idiyapam dough is made out of rice flour, coconut milk, a little bit of water and salt.  To make a dough, we have to make sure we mix all the ingredients together and then make the dough as tight as possible. That's what she said. Since we have to press them into noodles, the hash tattered pasta dough is textured. This is called idiyapam maker or idiyapam press. Looks like a cocking gun. You spread them equally. Wow. I've not made these, but we've seen them before. Many times, yeah. But not made. I don't remember seeing them. I don't think we've ever had them either though. Yeah. I don't think we've ever had them. So I'm using the same idli steamer to steam the idiyapam as well. Pretty much the same technique that we did with the idlis. I add water to the steamer, then add the pressed noodles in the steamer, then steam it all about like. Pressed noodles is a good name for a band. Pressed noodles. When I say noodles, let's not expect like real noodles. So they're now going to like a frilly fall apart, like they're going to stick together. Once the steam is coming out, that means the indication it's almost ready. That's what she said. Rice flour doesn't have a gluten like your wheat flour. So that's why it has that smooth consistency and smooth texture. You can eat this idiyapam with any vegetable. Wow. Or any aromatic gravies. Take a piece out of it and dip it in the gravies in here. Wow. Everything looks perfect. Rice and lentil paste, salad and dishes. Oh my goodness. I'm so hungry. Yeah. Looked amazing. Um, did it say South Indian on the title? It didn't, but I mean. It didn't, but he said it several times. Oh, I, you could let me know about the last two, but I think most of them were South Indian dishes, South Indian breakfast dishes. I think so too. Correct me if I'm wrong. I know idli and dosa are especially. And how many different shapes does dosa come in? He says you can put in whatever shape you'd like. Yeah, I just say it's dearest choice. Okay. We've seen them and obviously rolled. Those are the though. I love those. Those are just the easiest to handle and get all the bites and. There's an Indian restaurant that I've wanted to do a video. I just need to talk to them. McDonald's. Not far from here and I don't know how their idlies are. But apparently when I look to the menu, they have an insanely different amount of kind of idlies. Some like normal, like masala dosas. But then they also have like chocolate dosa and a pizza dosa. Interesting. I was like, one, I don't think that. I don't know that I want the flavorings of pizza in a dosa. I know, but that's why it's interesting. It is interesting, but just give me potato and I'm a happy man. That's all I need. I mean, I would eat other ones as well. But boy, is that just. It's a great dessert. Oh, breakfast. Breakfast. It's just with some filter coffee. If any of you guys have had South Indian food in Delhi, man, you know what we're talking about. You do. You know what we're talking about. Absolutely. We were so mad that that was our first video. Well, and I. I understand the disappointment that if we, you know, it was for me. If you're, you know what it would be comparable to? I think it would be comparable to an Italian in Italy. Watching someone eat Italian food for the very first time in New York City and being told it's authentic Italian food. That would bother me if I was. Maybe. No, it's not. New York Italian food is not authentic Italian. Well, if you go to. It's New York Italian. If you go to Olive Garden. It is. It's authentic. Olive Garden. It's authentic to the extent that, yes, Italians were making the food there and those Italians were from Italy. But no, it's. What if your grandma makes it? That'd be interesting because my grandma on my mom's side has passed away and my grandma on my dad's side doesn't makes Italian food. Maybe. Yeah. But anyways, that was great video. Just so hungry. So fun to watch and everything looked picture perfect. I'm so hungry. I need to eat food.


Remote sensing has become an important tool for monitoring irrigated lands over various climates and locations. Studies have shown that vegetation indices can be used to identify irrigated fields while single-date imagery taken during peak growing season can be used to identify irrigated lands. However, multi-date image data and classification methods are necessary to differentiate between crops and to improve accuracy. At smaller scales, remote sensing has proven successful in identifying irrigated lands, but at larger scales, more work needs to be done to identify the best spectral indices, best time periods, and best classification methods under different climatological and cultural environments. Additionally, remote sensing requires further refinement with a substantial investment of time and resources for ground truthing.


Okay, we're live. Welcome everyone. This is the Google Summer of Code office hours for the Jenkins organization on June 26, 2019. And during this meeting we answer questions from mentors and students with regards to the process and the program. Okay, do we have an agenda for today? I don't think we have a specific agenda because this is the meeting in the middle of the evaluation please. We discussed all evaluation plans and expectations at the last meeting and yet today is rather an opportunity for having Kone and whatever unless somebody else wants to add anything specific to the agenda. Okay. I was curious what the feedback was since the presentation yesterday. I saw Jesse's response about he couldn't join live. It's alright. When we did our student presentation yesterday we mentioned that we didn't get any many questions and then I saw Jesse's response saying he wouldn't have been able to meet the meetings anyway. So is our expectation for there be follow-up questions? Well basically there is expectation but again what we did yesterday and what we're doing today is rather a practice session because we give students opportunity to just try out the process and then we will have a real scale demo during the next evaluation please. Thank you. Yeah this approach I suggest to take. Obviously if there are people joining today and if there are questions it would be nice. Usually there are only a few people who ask questions during the demos because most of the stakeholders already had an opportunity to ask questions to participate in project discussions. We still want to use this demo in order to facilitate the discussions and maybe in most of the stakeholders. Okay. Are there any other questions? I saw some questions about the alpha release so I don't know. We had talked about kind of syncing up on this meeting. Should I go ahead with those? Okay. Yes go ahead. Okay. So I had noticed that like the first time I tried that it like released to GitHub but then it wasn't an Artifactory so then I redid it but I don't see like a second release in GitHub. Was I supposed to see one? Let's take a look. So do you see my screen? Let's see. Yes. Plugging installation manager. So we are talking about this project. Basically it applies to all projects where you do any kind of releases. So here what we can see is that there is one release which is referenced as 0.1 alpha 1. So there was only one release recorded to GitHub and we can double check what's inside. So you can see that there is only release and after that you can see that there is preparation to the release as one step and then there is prepare for next development duration as a second step. So it looks like either something went wrong or we relieved from our brain because otherwise these steps should be nearby. Okay. So I should just try to release again then? Yeah basically if you are afraid about any issues so while you are in alpha 3 you can basically do whatever you want and we could try to investigate what's up with this release. We could try fixing that but yeah the best advice is to just burn the release and to have another one on the top of that. So maybe the metadata should be correct. So if you take a look at this project you can see that now it's here 0.1 alpha 2 snapshot. So theoretically it should be released correctly now but yeah you can only try to see what's the result. Okay and then basically the next steps after this are once I get that fixed I just need to include like a change log including like what's actually in that release. Yeah it's a common practice. So regarding change logs we have multiple standard approaches in Jenkins. One is just putting change logs to Viki or to GitHub. So for example one of the common states a bit okay for example we can go to plug-in POM. So here you can see that there is change log as a markdown file. So this is an old approach which has been heavily used in some components. Another even older approach is to just put change logs to Viki but we don't really expect new projects to use Viki heavily. We moved to GitHub and recently we had a new flow for change log generation powered by a release drafter. So if you go here you can see that there are some releases recorded as GitHub releases. For example there are a couple of releases with some references called request etc. And basically this is the flow which has been just announced a couple of weeks ago. It's powered by a tool called a release drafter and this release drafter is basically just a GitHub application which is configured in your repository. Well configured is probably overstatement because all the information has been retrieved from a global configuration provided by the Jenkins project. So you're basically just the right tag templates and you can get your change log generation running. So if you're interested in that so you can just go to .github release drafter auto and here you can see that there is documentation how to use it, how to configure it for your repositories and you can start from there in order to just set up for the first version. I was gonna say I did look a little bit at that yesterday so I don't have like admin rights for my repository right because I think there was a note that if you don't have that you have to like submit a ticket so I just wanted to check like I would probably just have like read or write access right okay. Yeah right so it's one of the ways if you want to save your time so right now there is also another way to just quickly get something so if you if you here go to the releases you can see that there is current form one zero one alpha one basically it's a tag and to protect what you can do you can just see that now it will be a release so something like so you can just write something like that and here you can for example put initial release or something like that and you can just publish the release and it will be also fine for the current stage even before you can be the release drafter so if you want it can just save it for you and basically it will be your first release. Okay thanks. Yeah so if you want to you can just publish it yeah this is a preview release. Yeah it can be published release and the easier first release for this component and then when you create new versions you can get the real change logs you can edit these change logs if needed and the later you can also enable the release drafter so that you get automatic change log for your generation. Okay thanks. Okay. Do we have other questions? Abhudaya do you have questions? Oh no nothing from me. Okay so if there is no questions so yeah in 90 minutes we will have a second part of GSOG DEMOS. Just make sure to prepare to them if you're presenting if you're not presenting you're more than welcome to join in V2 and to watch the projects being completed by the students. Yeah and I guess it will be the last public meeting for the first evaluation. We also ask all mentors say if you haven't submitted your evaluation yet please do it as soon as possible. We have shared change logs sorry google docs for evaluation templates and yeah you can use them. Thanks a lot to all students all students have already submitted the evaluation we are just waiting for a few mentor teams. Okay so if that's all I suggest we adjourn the meeting. Everybody gets more time for coding or practicing their presentation. Thank you everybody. Okay I'm gonna stop the broadcast now. Thank you everyone. Okay thank you.

D-Plaza is where the John F. Kennedy assassination took place 50 years ago, a moment of silence at 12.35 p.m. today in that same location brings the emotion of his assassination back to life. I wasn't here to witness it, you know, when it actually happened, but throughout my whole life I've studied and researched the Kennedy presidency's assassination and having been here today was really an emotional time for me for seeing and hearing everything that was being said today. In remembering a president's legacy, Wether usually has no relation to a tragedy, but the cloudy skies, freezing rain and sleet captures the darkness Americans felt on November 22, 1963. I think the weather almost kind of fits the mood with little somber, you know, but maybe I think a lot of people will just see that this is a day that any just a day of respect will just reflect what has happened. Thousands of people come to Dallas to share the memories of the 35th president and his life. Even with delays in the ceremony and cold temperatures, many attendees who came thought it was worth enduring the elements. This is like the culmination of a 40-year obsession with their family and just getting to do something this memorable and that means this much to me and the history surrounding it. It's just like a once in a lifetime event. I couldn't miss it. He's a lot more relatable to me than a lot of other historical figures because he is on camera. There are so many color photos of him. You know, we have some pictures of Lincoln, but I can't hear him. I don't feel like I know him. JFK, there's so many images of him that I feel like he's more relatable and I feel like I can think about what he would be like if he was still around today. The ceremony brought together people who shared the belief that Kennedy gave America an expectation of greatness that all Americans could achieve. He knew words matter. His words changed lives. His words changed history. Rarely has a commander-in-chief addressed the nation with such command of language. Plus, you brought hope. And that's what today meant. After 50 years, we still have hope. Today in Daily Plaza, the weather is reflective of the somber mood Americans felt 50 years ago. But they don't remember the president for his assassination. They reflect on his life and his presidency as a whole. For Boston University News Service, I'm Patrick Thomas.


After an idol hangs herself, balloons bearing the faces of their destined victims appear in the sky.  An offering of nine fresh nightmares for the delectation of horror fans. Hi everybody, it's We Can Geek them here, Giovanni Menendez, with another review. This time we're continuing the Junji Ito hype train. I am a huge fan of Junji. I have done several videos already. You can check out the playlist. I'll link it up at the end of this video about all the collected, all the hardcover collected editions that the man has seen published. Now, I have talked about zombie fish. I've talked about snail people. I've talked about succubus, crazy bird ladies. But this is quite honestly one of the best short horror anthologies that you will ever come across. I think Shiver is fantastic. And dare I say, after Uzumaki, because I still think it's number one to me, this is easily the best. And presentation wise, this is the best Ito book out there. This is a beautifully crafted hardcover book. As you can see, it's got a great colored image compared to the other books. And it has nine of the best Ito stories selected by the man himself. And it has detailed sketches and commentary on each story. So that makes it just a little bit extra special. You've got insight from the man himself, what he did to create the story or his inspiration, some quirky notes on each story. It's really fascinating. So on presentation alone, this is easily the best Ito book, in my opinion. Now, the stories in here, you're going to get nine individual horror stories and a bonus never before seen published story that is brand new to this book. Out of those nine stories, one of them is you're going to double dip on one of them because that was in Tomie. It's a Tomie, one of the many Tomie stories is in Shiver. It doesn't matter. It's excellent nonetheless. And I reread it and it has, I think the art is a little bit done, redone or retouched, I guess, I should say. And it just looks awesome. Now, one of the complaints I have with the book is that after reading so many Ito stories, some of the characters start looking alike and I'm reminded while I'm reading a story of that other character from that other book, from that other story, and it becomes a little bit of a jumbled mess, in my opinion. But the stories themselves are really fun, really spooky, creepy. Some are really gross, like the Shiver story and the fashion model.   But, you know, all in all the fashion model actually is my favorite story from the book.   It's just really, really awesome that you've got somebody that by all means and purposes has a really sick and demented mind. But for the delight of literature fans and horror junkies, it's just awesome. It's really cool and I love Ito's work. Now, compared to the rest of the books, you know, most of these stories are pretty creepy. They're not like super scary or anything like that. You're gonna have a fun time with Shiver. I'll guarantee you that much. And in my opinion, this is easily, regardless of what I said earlier about the characters looking like, this is easily Ito's best drawings, best art out of all the books I've read so far.  There you go.  But regardless, it's pretty great. And you get some super awesome crazy visuals like fashion model, which is this lovely lady right there, which you do not want to come across. I guarantee you that one actually was one of my favorite stories in the book, along with let's see if I can find it here real quick real time for you guys. What was it? Oh man, this, this little gem right here, the long dreams portion.  I was blown away by that. And this is one of the rare stories where I was just enamored by the concept and kept thinking about it because Ito presents us with stories that make you think about stuff. It's not just about scaring you. Sometimes it's a little bit about social commentary and other times you're just left wondering and thinking about these great stories. I don't know. What do you guys think? Let me know down below which is your favorite Junji Ito book. I know I am missing, correct me if I'm wrong, from the US releases I am missing dissolving classroom and the cat book thing that he did about his pet cats or something. I will be reading and reviewing those eventually, so stick around for that. But yeah, as for the like the main big collected editions, let me know which one is your favorite. For me right now, I would say my ranking from best to worst would be Uzumaki, Shiver, Fragments of Horror, Tomie, and Gio. I'm sorry, Gio is always at the bottom. I just didn't like it as much. But yeah, I'm pretty sure your list is going to be completely different. Let me know down below. Guys as always, thank you for liking, commenting, subscribing here that we can keep them. Find me on your favorite social media platform so we can keep the conversation going. Alright, I have got to go. I've talked long enough time to continue with other stuff, so I will catch all of you on our next episode.
