Hello everyone, this is Amitabh Gupta from West Bengal, Wikimedia User Group. I thank Wikimedia Foundation for giving me the opportunity to speak in Wikimania 2021. I will be speaking about documenting build heritage in rural West Bengal for Wikimedia Commons. Before I start the lecture, I would like to mention that I have been documenting build heritage in rural West Bengal, which is in India for West Bengal user Wikimedia users group funded by a rapid grant of Wikimedia Foundation. So before we start, let us first understand what exactly it is a build heritage. So build heritage can be a mansion, can be a structure, can be the remaining site of ancient monument, it can be a temple, it can be a church, it can be a old house, it can be anything which has got aesthetic, architectural or cultural significance and that is a build heritage. And over here, it is very important to note that the cultural landscape around this build heritage site is also a part of it. Usually a build heritage over 100 years old, which has been constructed using local materials and lime motors and not cement or concrete is called a build heritage. For example, I will give you an idea about the what is exactly a cultural landscape. Say this is a temple, this is a almost 200 years old temple in the heart of rural West Bengal and you can see it is surrounded by trees and it is in an open field. In otherwise, it is in its own natural landscape, which is its cultural landscape. Now for example, suppose you built a concrete building over there and just giving a small sketch. Say for example, this is a building. So this, if you are building a concrete structure or a modern structure just besides to this temple, it is basically an obstruction to cultural landscape. This does not fit here in simple times. So it is an obstruction to cultural landscape. The temple is important and its surrounding is also important. Now, why do we need to document rural build heritage? Because you see these are structure which serves essential witness over past, I mean if you look at the bricks, the bricks in which they have been built, the designs, the architectures. These are of a time which has passed away and such structures are difficult, almost impossible to build now. And some of them they form a part of our daily life in such a manner we do not pay heed to their importance. I mean in our city, I stay in Calcutta, there are water taps made of cast iron of the British era in different lanes of the city. Hardly any of us think that it is a built heritage because it is a part of our daily life. And if this is the condition in a city, imagine what is the condition is in the rural area. And all over the world from 1970s, there has been rapid socio-economic changes. It has resulted in modification, demolition of several rural heritage due to lack of awareness and people simply do not know, people do not have an idea. Everything does not come in the news and documenting rural architecture is required for the first thing to make a list of built heritage which needs protection. I exactly do not know what other countries, but in India we have a very small list of protected monuments by the State Archaeological Department and the ASI or the Archaeological Survey of India that is a very small. I will just give you an example, there is basically there are two over 2000 temples in West Bengal over 2000 temples. And that is just an understatement because I also really do not know what is the exact number, it is around 2000. It is not possible for government to give protection to 2000 temples because many of them does not know where are they. So the first thing we need to make a list, a list which is available online to everybody and anybody and it is not that we document it once and forget about it, repeated survey and repeated investigation is required. In rural areas for conservation and management, I mean if someone has to conserve and monument he has to know for that is exist, he has to seize condition, it is not possible always to go in person and people does not know also. And over the years due to lack of knowledge there has been changes in the built heritage which also reflects that change in society. Now I will share with you something very interesting that is a panel, a terracotta panel in a Hindu temple. This was on the left you can see the original panel how it looked like 1793 it was built and this photograph is taken in 2011. You can see since it is built with terracotta bricks the color is the same, there is a beautiful 3D effect as if you can feel that the boat or the figures they are coming out of the panel. In 2019 local bodies made a conservation, they put a chemical paint on it in the name of preservation and you can see if I did not have this earlier photographic document nobody would have any idea how it actually looked. And by this painting they have already I mean killed the material because these terracotta material they are porous the water used to pass through them and these are what known as breathable buildings. The moment you paint them you are closing the pores the water inside will stay and one day this whole panel this whole beautiful panel will collapse. Now why do we want to document for Wikimedia Commons? Because Wikimedia Commons one can upload photographs of such rural built heritage based on area location type I mean you can basically upload photographs in a methodical manner. But if anybody wants to look for something they can find out and by anybody I mean researchers academician conservationist and even those who are writing for Wikimedia they can take media from here and we have been conducting Wikie exploration program on behalf of West Bengal Wikimedia user group and that helps in locating and documenting such built heritage in details. This is how it looks when you do a proper documentation and if you search in Wikimedia Commons for example terracotta temples of Bakuda district because they are uploaded district wise type wise. So if you type terracotta temples of Bakuda district they will show all the temples of that particular area. If you type by style they will show you that particular style so that is a proper documentation online available for everybody. This can be done in other countries also in similar manner and I will just use West Bengal or rural West Bengal as a case study. So this is West Bengal and this is a district wise map and these all different different multiple colours are each one of a district. So Bakuda is a district, Mosidabad is a district, Kojbihar is a district so if we can document district wise it will be more systematic. So basically the steps for rural heritage documentation is very simple. You list down the present district of the state then you take a list of the built heritage in each district and how you will take the type say a temple had five pinnacles you are looking for five pinnacle temples in particular district. You note that down make the location how do you get these locations. So first you look what is listed the protected monuments with the state and the central government. Though that will be not a big number but now you have got general unutilised monument, their unlisted monument, there are very old literatures books written in say 1970s 60s they I mean is our reference and local source. Then we we have to plan a days that how you photograph a district wise each location and you have to get hold of local contacts because you are coming from the city you are not very sure about the you know the location of the temples. Most important you do not even know whether it exists or not mind it the last time they were documented was 1970 many of them may not still exist. And then using the Wiki Exploration program you go on the work and the process is continuous and one thing you need to know a basic to advance knowledge about build heritage. This is a sample documentation of a temple see this is showing the build heritage first the structure itself then you take a documentation the cultural landscape that shows that there is a concrete building on the back. And then you take details of the build heritage showing all the terracotta panels which showcases you know since from mythologies from social life. And then when you upload in a wiki media comments this is the way you upload you give a description you take telling details about the temple who made it where it is located and you give its coordinates so that is easier for someone to locate it. I will give a quick view of the samples of build heritage documentation which we have been doing for example this is a terracotta plaque of a temple arch showing some mythological scene from the famous Hindu epic Ramayana which is like some sort of you can compare with odc and it is a life of Krishna. This is a very significant panel shows European with guns which gives you an idea about their presence of their rule in India that has been reflected as a part of social culture. This is a terracotta work not on a temple but on a mosque when the Mughals started building mosques they did not know how to make design in brick so they bought all the Hindu art artitions and they made all this design on a mosque. These are for example one is a stone build mirab inside a mosque and this is where the Imam prays and this is a brick build different kind and these are as you can see since this is a mosque this is a brick design but these are all floral design no figures. Similarly I am going to show you that other than the buildings there are also statues of eight nine centuries lying inside broken temples lying undocumented unnoticed and if we are putting this up in Wikipedia and comments it is very very easier for anyone to see it. Oh of course state government makes have made makeshift arrangement of such statues of and on but the number of such museums are very less. Other than the mosque and temples there are mansions of the landlords like this is one and this is some decorative element they used to make false windows and they used to put usually a woman figure as you waiting for her husband and finally these are the European influence on some mansion in different district and after you put up the detailed photography in Wikimedia Commons it looks something like this with all details and anybody who is interested in a temple can get every nook and corner of the temple sitting just in his home in Wikimedia Commons and if you are interested to build up the exploration team to document rural build heritage in your area in your country you simply need a guide who have requisite knowledge on build heritage and you need some volunteers who can plan the documentation step by step and you also of course you will be needing to volunteer volunteers we are willing to and are capable of documenting photography and then they will be uploading them to Commons and people can see them. So I hope you like my smart lecture thank you for your time have anybody has any questions I can answer them all I want to say is if there is such more documentation of rural heritage in every country and every area that is going to help the conservationist the archaeologist and similar kind of people in similar line and Wikimedia Commons can always be a ready forum for such documentation I hope in other countries I would see Wikimedians being involved in similar projects and we will see similar documentation in Wikimedia Commons of rural heritage of other countries. Okay thank you for listening to me and thank you for taking your time I hope you enjoyed the show and I hope in next Wikimania we will be busy viewing each other live and not in the virtual world thank you thank you very much.


Great ideas for teaching listening skills in the ESL classroom Of the four language skills taught in an ESL classroom, listening skills are often overlooked as teachers can be unsure how to make these lessons interesting and relevant to their students. However, as listening skills are a fundamental part of the language learning process, it is vital that we give them the classroom time they deserve. The good news is that there are many ways to make listening skills lessons both fun and productive. Here are 6 ideas for livening up your lesson plans. Popular Culture One simple way to engage your students in a listening lesson is to use popular culture as a tool. Most students would much rather listen to music, TV shows, movies or podcasts than sit through a dry monologue from a textbook. To add more complexity you can assign each student specific words to listen out for during the task. This can also be a good opportunity to introduce or further highlight reductions such as Gim, Aura and I know that you may well come across in the dialogue. This type of activity is also a great time to work on unfamiliar words. The students should be encouraged to make a note of any words they don't know so you can teach them later. If the students are working without a script they will need to guess the spelling of the unfamiliar word and perhaps write down some surrounding words to help identify the mystery vocabulary. This activity is not only great fun for the students but also valuable practice for further learning outside of the classroom. Secret phrase. This activity takes little planning and will get the whole class involved. Divide the students into pairs and supply each pair with a secret phrase that is appropriate for the language level of the class. For lower levels an example might be I love pizza or my car is red while higher levels could have tougher phrases such as Joe plays football every Saturday or my dog was abducted by aliens last night. Give the pairs of students 5 to 10 minutes to come up with the dialogue that includes their secret phrase. Each pair then performs their dialogue in front of the whole class. While each pair presents their dialogue, the rest of the class must listen and try to pick out the secret phrase and write down what they think it might be. After each pair has completed their turn, the rest of the class reveal their guesses and any that are correct win a point. If nobody guesses the correct phrase, the performing pair get the point. Celebrity squares. For this activity you need to prepare a number of different printouts that have celebrities shown in grid form. It doesn't matter if the students don't know the identity of every celebrity as they will then need to describe facial features rather than just give a name. Place the class into pairs and give one of them a celebrity grid and the other a blank version of the grid and a pile of celebrity faces cut out individually. Each pair should then sit back to back and be instructed not to peek over each other's shoulders. The students with the celebrity grid have to give instructions to their partner on how to fill out the blank grid. For example, the students' instructions might be the picture of George Clooney should be in the bottom right corner and Bance should be in the square above George. To help things along you may need to pre-teach a few words such as column and row before the activity starts. Describe the picture. Another variation on the celebrity game is to give one member of the pair a picture and the other a blank piece of paper. The picture can be printed off the internet or you can make your own. Sitting back to back, the first student must describe the different parts of the picture to their partner who then draws the descriptions onto the blank page. Once complete, the partner switch rolls and the first student is given a different picture to describe. Once everyone has had a go at describing and drawing you can compare the pictures to see who has got the closest to the originals. Listen and quiz. If your students have access to computers, tablets or smartphones, provide each one with a specific song, short script or podcast to listen to. Each student should listen through their assigned piece several times and then come up with a set number of quiz questions based on what they have heard. The class then listens to each student's piece in turn and completes the associated quiz for each one. This activity provides plenty of listening practice when producing and answering the questions and your students will love the chance to be the teacher in charge of setting questions. Vowel cards. If your lesson is focused on the study of specific vowel sounds, this activity can be very useful and a lot of fun. The simple version of the activity is to give each student two different colored cards, each of which is assigned to a specific vowel sound. For example, a green card could be assigned to the A sound as in cat while a yellow card could be assigned to the A sound as in day. The teacher can then read through a list of words and each time the students hear one of these vowel sounds they raise the appropriate card in the air. To take the activity to the next level, you can add more colored cards that are assigned to different vowel sounds and then read through another word list. Finally, the teacher can read out whole sentences where each word contains a different vowel sound. The students must put their colored cards in the correct order to match the sounds they heard in the sentence. Are you ready to teach listening skills in the classroom? Despite what some teachers may think, listening skills lessons in an ESL class can be enjoyable, productive and easy to plan.

What can you share with us that might be beneficial for us to help more and more veterans all the time in their seeking employment? There's a bunch of things, and I think the biggest thing that comes to my mind immediately is educating employers as to what benefits they get from hiring a veteran. So from my perspective, what do you get when you hire a veteran? When you hire a veteran, you're getting someone that has been trained in a multitude of different things. Number one, I mean, the basic kind of minimum requirements for an employee, for a worker, for a person that's gonna bring value to somewhere, the minimum requirements, are you gonna show up on time? Are you gonna put forth good effort? Are you gonna have the discipline to maintain the standards?  A good 98% of the time. There's gonna be 2% of the people, they get out of the military for the wrong reason or they're not ready or whatever, I get that. But you know, you try hiring from just open civilians, you're lucky if you're batting 30, 40% to get to that minimum standard. So you got that out of the gate. The other thing that I think, and this is to me is the most important thing, is when you're in the military, you're a leader. And leadership is the most important thing in the battlefield. It's the most important thing in business. And so when you hire someone that's been in the military, maybe they've been in charge of a fire team. You know, they've been in charge of four people. Maybe they've been in charge of platoon, in charge of 40 guys. Maybe they've been in charge of a company or battalion. But whoever they are, they've been around leadership. They've been in a leadership position. They know how to interact with other people. They know how to formulate plans and get other people to buy into those plans. They know how to run things in an organized way where they can accomplish the mission regardless of what kind of challenges they face. So hiring veterans, it's almost like you're getting, you're getting rid of a lot of people that don't belong in a job. You're just getting rid of, you're getting the cream of the crop, right? You're separating the wheat from the chaff and you're already starting at a place where you've got someone that's a leader, that's got those basic kind of fundamental minimum requirements to be a good person. And the last thing is they're trainable, right? If you've gone in the military, you got trained. You got trained to do multiple different jobs. You got trained to do multiple different jobs in different scenarios. You got an open mind, you know how to study, you know how to learn. And I think those three things are critical for the businesses and I work with businesses in every industry, from the financial industry to the construction industry to the gas oil industry to the technology industry. They all need those types of people, people that can meet those minimum requirements, people that can lead and people that can learn. So I think hiring veterans is an outstanding thing to do.


Welcome to ToppyTV, it's the Everton News Daily. Today me and Baz have been at the Zip World Velocity 2 in Snowdonia. I'm talking really slow because I'm just really really shaking by the experience. You'll get to see the video of that next week at some point once we get all the footage and edit all together. Absolutely amazing, we did for Everton in the community. If you would like to donate to it, even if it's just £0.50 even it's just a pound to an amazing charity, please do, I'll put the link in the description. Absolutely amazing place as well. If you fancy jumping off a mountain, doing a whole Superman thing, do it because it's absolutely amazing. Funnily terrified but absolutely brilliant. So check that video when it drops sometime next week. Some plans of a new stadium have been not revealed, leaked tonight and I say leaked, I really don't know. A 40 page document, PDF document has turned up online this evening and all I can say is it's, I mean if it's fake, it's one of the best fake things I've ever seen in my life because the detail is incredible so therefore I don't think it is a fake. It all looks really good. It's fantastic architecture and fantastically made and I'm sure all the science and all the architecture is there. Are they the real Everton plans? I don't know. Are they the final Everton plans? I don't know. There's things in it like walls behind the goal made out of recycled material from the dock, things like that. Things could be the final design, could be in the final design. The outside of it isn't, yeah it's very, very modern. I don't think it's very keeping with the area so maybe it's just a, almost like a document to show you how Goddison would fit into the area. It might be what the ground is supposed to look like but just sort of showing you. It does include the rail seating as well. It is a 52,000 capacity. It's dated from November 2018 so it ticks all the boxes. Some of the pictures I believe were very similar to the ones that were used last season or last year sorry for the fine consultation. I'd sink Luke's with that mice so it doesn't feel like necessarily like an architect has done these pictures. It's more like a, you know, somebody showing how the ground is going to fit together and the actual sort of science behind it all and the actual architecture of the structural engineering side of things if that makes sense rather than the aesthetic side of it. So it could be, the ground could be like that but with a different design on the outside that's what I would say if they are real. But we'll have to wait and see but it all looks good. It fits on the dock really well. I think the way it is is that one of the goal ends will face town and the sides will, one will face the maze and one will face Regent Road, the side. So that's how it will fit onto the dock as well. So listen, it's out there, the docking is out there. There's no point pretending it's not out there. It's on Twitter, it's on Facebook, it's everywhere so I'm sure you'll find it. There's plenty of people if you just put a search in for it. It's interesting though because this has been a very, very quiet week forever, no game, no game this weekend, obviously coming off the back of the defeat. And it's interesting that we've had the fan consultation results which were always probably due this week and then we had the Fnatic's announcement and then we've had this leak and all three of them obviously was something to do with the stadium. The Fnatic's launch for the new deal which me and Baz went to at the live of building. One of the first points was can't wait to get into the new ground. We've got a fantastic new super store that's going to go into the ground. It's going to be absolutely amazing. Stay to the art, one of the best in the world, blah, blah, blah. So everything's just been geared this week around this new stadium and I just wonder whether, well obviously that's all done intentionally. I just wonder whether this has been sort of done intentionally because a document of this magnitude would have to come from somewhere official because it's just too good to be a fake. It is too good to be a fake. It's apt, the details incredible in it so and the pictures are fantastic and we'll have to wait and see but you know it's all positive going forward in a week that could have been very different because if there's nothing to talk about that's when the fumes start to grow. I'm not saying the fumes not there but. Tom Offume, I just again again spoken about the move to Paris Saint-Germain that never happened. He was talking to Laquipe. He said that you know he wanted the move, he pushed for the move, he spoke to the directors that ever knew it was his dream and he just hopes that Paris Saint-Germain will come back for him in the summer. He said he will work hard and he's happy that clubs of that size and that magnitude are looking for him and he wants to move on to the next level which is the Champions League. He said it never happened but he's hoping that something still could happen in the summer and he'll work towards that so what can you say? What can you say? Do you know what I mean? The lad plays well when he plays forever and it's not like he's not playing well, he played well on Saturday so what can you say? If anyone was in his position and they weren't you know a staunch evertoning and even if they were a staunch evertoning you'd be looking at the situation going yeah top Champions League side after me I'd like that so especially 29 so what can you say? So obviously I think something will happen. If Paris Saint-Germain are still interested in the summer I'm sure it'll happen with Everton having more time to find the replacements and find probably someone who suits what we need in midfield which is probably a more all-round player who can do a little bit of everything. Yeah we'll wait and see on that one. Henry Onyaku, Everton are apparently very hopeful that they can get a work payment sorted in the in the future in the summer sorry I don't want to say future because people will go future in the summer hoping they can get something done. He's been watched by Everton's scouts, Brands's new scouts, he's having a good run at Galatasaray, he's playing well and they believe now they can put together a robust appeal but wouldn't really be appeal just a robust application for a work payment for the lad for next season. Marco Silver has said he's he's been watched, he's watched them like he has every other lone player but he seems to be doing well you know you'll have had two years away from Everton since we signed them and hopefully this might be the time to bring him in you know young hungry fast player obviously the player himself said that you know he's doing well at Galatasaray and it wouldn't be he wouldn't be averse to a move there but having spoken to them on myself last year in Paris he's desperate to play in the Premier League so if they don't get it sorted and get him into the squad then hopefully that will happen in the summer and it'll be another another attack and threat some more pace hopefully somebody can put the ball in the back of the net because that's some something we just don't have he can play off the flanks as well so hopefully that'll happen in the summer if Everton wanted to happen if they don't want it to happen I imagine they'll make a decent profit on the player um so again we'll have to wait and see on that one anyway we've come to the end of the first week without no football how are you feeling I'm alright I'm sad I've just jumped off a mountain and I feel fine I feel more fine about that than I do about watching everton um so you know what enjoy your weekend everton free weekend just chill out the weekend chill out for next week and we'll be back out before you know it thanks for watching software tv make sure to check out all our other videos that we've gone on youtube and if you're on patreon there's lots lots and lots going on this week even though we've had no games so if you're not on patreon get over there try it's good even if it's just you just try for a month cost you three pounds for a month get over there thanks for watching I'll see you later

So they're not big like They don't kick up a lot or anything like that. So I think that they'll be fine. Oh, I'm sorry about that We'll focus on biscuit right now while honey does her business um But yeah This is there This is their happy place And it's quite nice in the sun. I think I'm gonna get kind of hot sitting here, but So, yeah, we'll just chill out here for a minute. I'll play on my phone and I'll just let them kind of wander Do their thing So right through there. I don't know if you guys can see that or not. They have hammocks set up And the amount of money I would pay To have them move one of those hammocks Into this dog park right now This is like the perfect weather where it's like cold In the shade But in the sun it feels like amazing So I just want to lay down and take a nap out here Like it feels so so good. So I'm having to cover my mouth.  I think honey definitely gets more out of the Dog parked in biscuit does And then every once in a while they'll engage with each other But not super playful. There's definitely been other dogs here And they're like brother and sister and they just like play non-stop They didn't really do that.  She's huge Um, and it's funny how they interact with each other. It's really sweet Lily's very kind Even though she could just gommel them up in a second Um, but yeah, they're just on top of me now Like we can do this at home girls Why don't we just do this at home? Huh?  All right, what do we think? Do you want to go back? It's not very comfortable for me Say hi honey Oh, there's the tongue. She's getting hot


Alright, um, we need again and by the time this video just know that I am not going to be editing this video at all Because I know for a fact that I'm going to edit important parts out and also because I'm pretty lazy right now But all right shoot have to do this right so I reached 1,000 subscribers one week ago and I realized everything on my channel has been either ranty positive or just stupid and And I haven't really touched on some serious issues in my life or just personal stuff So the stripped down challenge is basically you talk for 10 minutes and how my timer setting right now So I should pretty I should start pretty soon, and I'm gonna be looking at my iPad So just don't pay attention to that and just know that this can be a rambly. It's gonna be negative it's gonna be serious and Yeah, I tend to forget stuff so I'm gonna go and if you think this is for attention, don't even try with me Okay, I'm not gonna even argue with that So this message is this video is basically a message to my new friends and my old friends back in South Carolina because I believe you guys have a right to know The bad parts of my life and because I haven't even told it to my old friends And I haven't told them my experience with this movie well my life can be described as a roller coaster and So far I've been through five major dips and I have a ring light. So that's why it's a new setup So the biggest one I think Was coming to terms with myself and basically that was the summer after 8th grade. I Didn't go through depression. I just went through a serious time the first serious moment in my life Where it's like, okay, I'm gay. I Need to know what to do how to do it and how to make my life positive and not turn it into The negative lives that some people do have and that's what I mentioned on my channel live Which is my biggest change. That's when I just changed my hairstyle everything like my wardrobe my veganism But it wasn't really bad because it led to the best three months I've ever had in my life and that's when it leads to one of the worst three months of my whole life Which was coming out to my parents.  I never really brought friends over I was always on my iPad laptop and just playing games And I like shopping a lot So my dad knew that I wasn't really the manly son he wanted And the reason why it was a really sad part coming out to my parents not because my mom Okay, I know most parents they freak out momy tell them and I respected that and I give them time My mom is fine with it now.  It's weird I never cried in one but You know, he would tell me like my whole life is wrong.  I just recovered from coming out and then the next thing I know I'm moving and That first of all, like I didn't know how to feel I mean I heard so many things about people moving and they go through depression and stuff It's like I'm not I told myself that ain't gonna happen. You know never never to me so I kind of Subdued it from my life. I never really brought it up to my friends until like last minute But then I started break down. I would say It was Right before summer break because I realized this is the last time I'm gonna see all of my friends and Just thinking about me going away from them It was it was a hard time Just you know to my old friends at South Carolina If you could give this video to my math teacher who you I know, you know who that is that would be a great Um, I think she wants to know how my life is going to all the other friends Who don't know this channel that be awesome too and thank you for watching me and supporting me Then came the fourth dip which was me about to move and that was when the Orlando shooting happened And what sucks is that every dip I have the moment I recover I get like a week like one week then I go back into another three months of just sadness and not Depression but like people can tell when I'm not myself And I'm glad they can tell because it shows I show my emotions a lot and You know my grades dropped every single dip which wasn't really good personality went through some phases eating habits change I Remember like staying in my bed all day just crying over my friends Even I'm not showing emotion right now and I'll go through so many tissues and ice cream And I also lost my best friend or I almost lost my best friend which was one of the scariest moments in my life because You know who wants to lose their best friend, but I'm glad I told myself not to do that and I fixed that But go into that fourth dip You know after the shooting I was as the person who was part of the LGBT community you get scared of even like Showing any form of the stereotypes you get scared of going out of your house you get scared of being in public and just Just knowing what could happen at any time and that was also when Christina Grammy was killed So that wasn't good either And lastly It was the move and not during the move because that was fine, but after the move Because once I got here, you know, it's like three months of doing nothing. You have no friends You have no sports Don't you have two people to talk to and that's your parents and you don't know the area at all So I went shopping. I ate food, you know, I saw stuff and that was good But when you think about it on long terms, it's slowly Like your emotions start to build because there's no one to talk to and for me personally, I can't talk over social media It's so hard for me to do that. I have to be in front of a person and that is when I consider myself Going through a minor depression because I searched up the symptoms because I was just curious and you know they were dead on and it was just a weird realization and Also during the move I started to develop a social anxiety I remember going to Costco and it looked so much like the one in South Carolina that I had a breakdown. I never told anyone this I think and After that, I realized, you know, wow, I haven't been in public for so long, you know, I have I forgot how to socialize I should get out more, but I don't know where people go. So that wasn't really good To this day, I still it's hard for me to talk to guys, you know, I freak out over the locker room all the time But it's not a big deal. I mean, it's just I Know I can't go into sports because I will cry I remember we had fire drills during like fourth period and when I walked out there You know, I was filled with juniors because I'm in a pre-cal class and everyone else is now number two And I almost cried too because there was no one to talk to Which I think was pretty sad, but that's fine. I mean that that's not a big issue and then Let's see On the first day of school, I didn't say it on my video But I cried after because you know first day of school is hard you meet new people I did meet new friends and I'm so grateful I have them. Thank you guys. Just so you know But I remember in math class since I was so it's emotionally attached to my old math teacher seeing a new one That almost brought me a tears as well, but I just I had to hide it.   Just I've learned how to make an intolerance to him or just be tolerant with him and but the problem that's probably gonna be with me for the rest of This high school like life is social media Obviously, I make YouTube videos. Um, I have a Twitter have an Instagram and have a snapchat and when I moved I Had a had it in the back of my mind that like I might be sad looking on my friends But I never thought it would go so far Because I deleted all my photos on Instagram. You can go check right now if you haven't Um, I deleted snapchat for two days and I lost a lot of streaks and I even I didn't even tell them like why and this is why it's because It's hard for me to look at people who I once knew through snapchat because snapchat to me is really personal And seeing their faces it obviously may be sad and that's why sometimes I don't respond to people after that And on Instagram, you know seeing people's lives seeing them with other friends And seeing ultimate frisbee people like that It's just hard to see So I don't go on Instagram. I still snapchat sometimes, but I can't look at stories still And don't think I will ever be able to Until maybe I graduate. I think that's it. Those are the five major dips in my life And that's the end of the video make sure you like and subscribe and you know, I'm gonna stop That's not appropriate, but thank you guys so much for 1000 subscribers It me you don't know how much it means to me to see that there are people who support me and have Watch me go through these hard times, especially on the live streams because it gets so personal. It's just a chill live stream, which I do every night around like 8 o'clock and yeah Thanks for going on this adventure with me and I post videos every Saturday Everything is less than three And I should probably turn the camera off shouldn't I? Is this the thing even on? Oh, it is. All right. Bye guys


Regarding the United States, this is going to be our 17th time. We are delighted to come back to this country. A country where, as you said before, football soccer has grown tremendously over the last 20 years. And it goes without saying that this is going to be a terrific opportunity for Ramadri to forge bonds with our fans. And those who love this wonderful game, wonderful sport. And of course, as we always try, we are going to do our best to win the cap.


Okay, so tell me how many of us right now feel a little fatigued or a little sleepy because you were working till late last night. Is that because we were partying last night? Anybody feeling sleepy right now? Superb, Bhavna, you've done a great job of infusing energy into the room. But having said that, how many of us have made a habit of skipping meals? You know, because we have to take care of our clients' pressing needs. Okay, we have very healthy people here right now. But every person who possibly nodded in their head or was just too ashamed to kind of agree to this unhealthy lifestyle that we've kind of created for ourselves, needs an intervention. And that's exactly why we are here today. We have with us Dr. Biju KS, senior medical officer, V-Roots Wellness Solutions Private Limited, who's also the academic director and CEO of Vigyan. Here's the company, which is into personalized lifestyle management. And what does that mean? Let's get Dr. Biju to decode that. So Dr. Biju, V-Roots is fast becoming a booming healthcare startup, which has attracted equity from a fitness icon like Sunil Shetty. Yes. Before we deep dive into the consultation aspect of your business, I'd like to know what are the various ways you can get our audience and me. Everybody over here to become more fit and, you know, healthier. What are the different products you have, which can help in the process? So at the outset, let me tell you about the core products of V-Roots. V-Roots in its core, we are into personalized lifestyle modification. To all those present in this meeting, it can be seen in a different type of word, personalized lifestyle movement. When we say about personalized, for those who are more present, especially the marketers present, this can be a buzzword, personalization.  So when you create a marketing communication, highly personalized. Say for example, if a brand is communicating to me in a highly personalized way, which means that when I feel this message is only meant for me, then definitely I'm going to convert, whether it is an awareness campaign or lead generation campaign, I'm going to convert it. So there lies your success, which means simply personalization. So when it comes to healthcare also, what Dr. Anurag has said here about the book, the book written by Tony Robbins, I urge all of the executives present here to read that book. One of the nicest book here, you can read in your lifetime, in which it clearly says about the precision medicine. So what is precision medicine? It's a new and emergent technology in the medical sphere in which, say example, if you are taking a medicine, suppose the paracetamol. Sometimes you require some 500 mg of paracetamol, sometimes you, sir, require some 625, sometimes you need some 1000 mg. So what is the difference between it? We can say that your body weights are different, but it's not exactly. Your genes are different. Here comes the precision medicine. So we are into, not into the treatment aspect, we are into the wellness aspect. If the precision medicine can be run as a new and emerging technology, in the treatment aspect, why can't precision wellness happen? So we are into this. So how come we are actually into precisely tell this is the most suited wellness aspect for you? So that we need, we need to use some tools and techniques. One among those is to check in your DNA. So by using this highly scientific tool, that means DNA testing, one of the tool, we can clearly say that this is the best suited exercise for you. This is the best suited diet for you. So here we are into the precision wellness management. So is this something that you maybe work on hand in hand with the doctor? So is this something, is it a test that I can kind of get done myself?  Yes, both ways can work. Say we have a platform in which we have onboarded doctors, nutritionists, yoga therapists, fitness trainers, etc. In which they can also refer this test to their patients. Even patients also or even the person doesn't have any disease also come to us to know about what is the best suited exercise? What is the best suited diet plan? What is the best suited lifestyle for them in order to live, say like Dr. Andhraksad lived more than 100 years. So how is this different from the regular tests that are conducted to understand your body, diagnose problems? So it's not like a regular test. Suppose if you are having some issues like if you feel some lethargic, if you feel some exertional dyspnea, say example if you are walking for some time and feeling some dyspnea, sometimes you suspect some cholesterol issues and you go to the lab and get test done. So who is there to interpret those results? A lab technician cannot. Of course a professional is needed. Here we are actually doing that job of interpreting those results. That means after checking your DNA, after checking your metabolic analysis through various tests, we are interpreting those results in which we are identifying the best of the best ways in order to live a healthy and disease free life. Can you tell us a little about your target audience, your youngest and your oldest customer? Our youngest customer is of two months old, two months old. So once you can get the saliva from any person, we can get the test done. Through which we can clearly predict what are the disease conditions, what are the best suited diet, what are the best suited exercise plan for anybody. Globally you have brands like Circle, DNA, VOM, which kind of analyzes microbial and human gene expressions. Was COVID and this improved health consciousness amongst the people here like this factor that give you a big push to start this? Yes, of course, of course. So there is a great difference between these competitors, so called competitors for V-Roots like VOM, like 23andMe, like Circle DNA, you will be getting the service of DNA testing. So what you are going to do after these tests get done? So most of the time there may be some contradictory results. When you are checking your DNA for some nutrients like magnesium, you will be getting a result that clearly says that you need to take more magnesium. Say for example, you need to take more calcium when you are checking your DNA. But on the other hand, when you are checking another DNA, it says that you need to reduce your calcium intake, what you are going to do. This is very crucial. So here, a team of doctors, a team of nutritionists, a team of physical trainers clearly tells our client this is the exact way by analyzing various factors and reaching a conclusion, this is the exact way you need to do. And you know, we are in an age of quick fixes. Everybody has little to no patience. So what is the time frame we are kind of looking at to set our bodies right? What is the kind of engagement you are looking with your consumers here? So the time of engagement, I can see that. So the test, the entire process lasts up to one month. You can get the test done. And definitely the main problem of different wellness projects or wellness aspects. Say for example, suppose you are going to a gym. Your motivation lasts up to one month, two months. We used to call it as Monday motivation. Then after two months or three months, this motivation become down. So here, we understood that the changing the behavioral pattern or making the lifestyle changes as a habit is very crucial. So we have created a bunch of healthcare professionals known as health coaches or lifestyle coaches in which they will hand hold our customers throughout the process. Say for example, some three months bringing some new habits into their lifestyle. And once they bring a new habit, once they form a new habit, they can continue the new lifestyle in order to live a healthy and disease free life. So we are actually hand holding our entire customers also. So you are basically looking at a marriage and not a fling? Yes, of course. Thank you. To sum it up, I think Dr. Biju and Viru want people to take charge of their own bodies and cater to its needs in a personalized sort of a way because each person is different. And this is while ensuring that people live longer and yet grow younger. I think that's motivation enough for me. Yes, of course, of course. Once again, I urge everyone here present to read the book of Tony Robbins. So our chairman, Dr. Sajeev Nair, also has written this almost same book in an Indian context. Tony Robbins in his book says about increasing your energy, increasing your productivity, increasing your longevity, etc. Say for an Indian context, likewise, the lifestyle diseases like diabetes. In India, at least 10 percentage of, the person who is sitting here, at least 10 percentage of this gathering is suffering from some diabetes or hypertension. So in the making of Superhuman, our chairman Dr. Sajeev Nair clearly says that these are the small, small hacks that you can do in order to live a healthy disease free life. In the same way, in the same pinch, like Tony Robbins has said, there is a precision medicine. Likewise, we are saying that there is a precision wellness also. In which if you are following that precision wellness, what exactly is the right kind of food, right amount of food is suitable for you, we can precisely tell. And that what we are into. Tell our customer what is the precise solution for you. So it's all about striking the right balance for your body. Thank you so much Dr. Biju, it was absolutely enlightening talking to you. Thank you for giving me the wonderful opportunity. Thank you.


Hi everyone, I'm Rob Horlacher from Project Sandbox, a University of Lethbridge Library Initiative. In this video, we're going to look at design theory and how that can help your research poster. A foundational element of design theory is the idea of layout and composition. This can make your documents more legible, can help direct the viewer's eye a little bit better. Really, it just makes your documents very readable and accessible for people. And if the whole point of that document is to make your research or whatever more accessible, this is something you should probably follow. To highlight some of these design concepts, I created a research poster which uses some elements of layout and composition, but totally fails to use others. So let's take a look at that. So as you can see, this is my bad research poster design example, as you can see from the pretty letters. Don't worry if you can't see the text. It's just dummy text for the paragraphs of the sections, just to give you an idea of how things are kind of laid out. Let's break down some of the concepts this actually does use from layout and composition. One of the main ones you can see it uses is it uses something called alignment. I'm sure you're familiar with alignment in some way, shape or form. So basically all of these things are aligned together to give you an idea of just to space things out evenly and create kind of a unity throughout your whole work. Although it's using this one design layout and composition example, it does not seem to help it. It does use some other things too though. Repetition is another example of a layout and composition. What I mean by that is all of the titles are the same typeface, same color, same everything to give you an idea that all of these are section titles. That's the same with all the fonts. It too uses the same font style for everything. If you look up top though, the bad research poster design example does not use repetition because this is messed up. You can take creative liberties with titles a little bit. So that's not necessarily wrong. But for the purposes of explaining this, let's call it wrong. Something else it does use is it does use contrast, which would be like the difference between titles and text. So it's using size and color to differentiate itself from the actual body of text. And then the final one is it kind of uses white space. White space could be like consider the space in between each section. If you look at the white space here, like the text is really tight to this inner square. So it doesn't feel like your project can really breathe and have ways for your view to go all the way throughout your poster. So let's correct some of these, not mistakes, but just like let's correct some of these things that could be done a little bit better. The first thing that I want to point out with all of this is your eyes don't know what to focus on. Your eyes kind of get scattered all throughout here. There's so much going on. So the first thing that we can get rid of to fix this is the background, because the background just adds way too much noise in an already text heavy document. So let's get rid of that already. It starts to seem a lot clearer to get our eyes working in a little bit of a better way. Something else that these documents tend to use quite intensely are boxes. Everything is a box within a box within a box within a box. There's just too many boxes and you don't need to use boxes to direct people's eyes or to let people know that everything belongs in a certain section. We can use a layout and composition element called proximity to do stuff like that. Just by seeing objects that are in proximity to each other, we can understand that there's a relationship. So the proximity of this body of text to this title lets us understand that those are connected. So I am going to do something crazy and get rid of all of these boxes and boxes in boxes. So I'm going to get rid of these more boxes to start and to lighten it up and to hopefully give it a little more white space. I'm going to get rid of these boxes. And now things seem like they can breathe a little bit better. There is nice space around the text. So like your eyes can really focus on that without trying to fight for preference of looking at the box or looking at the text. I do like these title bars. I like to keep them. You don't need to use them just having proximity and using things like contrast to differentiate the title text versus the body text would be good enough. But I want to keep them just to show you that it would still work. You can get rid of it.  There's other ways to do stuff. So be creative still.  I hate how you can see this defined line. And if we had the so if we had this top box here, you could see this defined line around here, which I think just looks awful.  Anyway, we're going to get rid of everything. OK, so this is the base document. This is just all of what your information would look like if everything was stripped away. Something else I would like to point out is that these have white boxes around it, too. So a way for that to blend into the background a little easier is just to use a white background. It looks totally fine. You can still use similar color schemes and stuff like that. But it's just a way to make your life a little bit easier so you're not trying to cut out this little bit and your document looks better because this thing seamlessly blends into it as opposed to having another box. So let's put some design back into here. The first thing I want to put in is I want to put those secondary title bars in here because I did say I liked them. What I am going to change about them, though, is the color because in terms of repetition, which is a layout and composition item, we already have some colors on this thing that we can utilize for that. So we have this color right here, and I'm going to use that for those secondary title bars because now there's repetition between this color and these colors. OK, so we got the title bar, which looks awesome. I'm also going to put the same bar at the top. This bar will be a good place to keep our actual title. And this is an instance where maybe a box does make sense. If it doesn't for you, all the power to you. It's always good to get rid of boxes because there's just far too many sometimes. All right. So now that we have that top bar in place, we are going to add the title text back. So just to remind you, this is what the title text looked like. So just to show you that I can even use the same typeface and everything like that. What we'll do is I'll add it right back in, but I'm just going to move around the elements a little bit to utilize white space a little bit better and to utilize proximity a little bit better. So this was the exact same typeface, except now this is all bolded versus just battery search being bolded. This author bar under here is directly associated with the title. Now, and then we got this little bit of information over here, which also due to proximity, you can understand that it's connected. Also due to proximity, you can understand this whole title bar is part of the same thing. You know, it's not a part of the actual body of the research poster. And then I do think that this looks a little plain. So I just want to add in a little bit of just some splash onto the picture. What I'm going to do to do that is to use these three remaining colors just with some simple lines. And then this adds just a little more dimension to the poster. Everything is still very clear and still very easy to read. And really, that's what's the most important aspect of this. So that's how you can use layout and composition is by using these five concepts. And just to highlight them again, the concepts are white space, proximity, repetition, contrast and alignment. So this uses all of those. So there's white space around things, which doesn't actually mean the space needs to be colored white. It just means negative space. It uses repetition so you can see all the titles are the exact same. The body text is the exact same. The colors are the exact same. It uses proximity. So the title is altogether abstract is with the abstract. Everything is together. And then, of course, it uses alignment. So everything is aligned really nicely. Abstract isn't like kind of off center right here. Everything is kind of set up the way it theoretically should be. The other thing I want to tell you about design theory is some color theory. Say you didn't want to use these colors. The reason why I use these colors was these are the default colors that Microsoft Word used to create this little pie chart. So that would be an example of if you don't want to figure out the colors that you should be using. Just use some of the default colors that your programs will already spit out, because generally those colors will be a little more thought out unless you do them yourself. But if you would like to do them yourself, there's some things you can follow. In terms of color theory, I'm just at this color dot adobe.com website. You have the ability to go to this too, because it is totally free. And what I like about this site is it sets up different color schemes for you that you can use and you can play with them and modify them a little bit to go over what some of these things are. We'll first look at analogous colors and just to clarify what I'm talking about. These are the colors that if you would like to choose your own, you can use them in your documents through just clicking this hexadecimal code, which is right here. And I'm just going to do control C just to take this color. If you wanted this color, you would do the same thing. And then if you had your documents, you could color whichever piece. Say I wanted to color this one. Don't worry about remembering what I'm doing in this, because I do have another video you can watch, but you could just paste that color in and then it would show up. So that's how you could use this. Anyway, going back to the website, this website will create different color patterns for you to use throughout your document. So there's a couple of different color setups you can use. The first one is analogous. So what analogous refers to is colors that are right next to each other on the color wheel. So if you pull this color and move it around, you can see that these colors all stay together. That's because they're, as I said, right next to each other. If you don't want to use analogous colors, you could use monochromatic colors. Monochromatic colors refer to colors that come from kind of the same section on the color wheel. So as we move this around, you can see it being used. And it's using colors just right in that same line on the color wheel. Triad is another variation you can use. So this is colors from three points on the color wheel that are evenly spaced from each other. I don't generally like to use triad that much. I like analogous a lot and the other one I like to use a lot is complementary. Complementary colors are really good if you want to have a couple of different colors that can contrast each other. The way complementary colors work is their colors that are across from each other on the color wheel. The one thing to keep in mind if you're using complementary colors in one of your posters is that you want one color to be dominant. You don't want them to be equal. So say we wanted this bluer color to be dominant. We would have say like the background with this guy, the title bar with this and then whatever else for this. And then we would use these colors to highlight specific things like links or to use them as like nice little bars at the top. Using these colors from complementary is just to create those nice little highlights around your poster if you want to bring attention to something. Whenever you're creating your poster, just make sure you try and adhere to the theory of layout and composition, along with some of this color theory. If you follow both of these different theories, your poster will be a lot clearer to understand and it will be a lot more readable and visually appealing for people. So that's what I have for you. Remember that although we discussed some elements of design theory, that is far from everything that you can possibly learn. Just be creative and try stuff out. Thank you very much for watching.

Hey everyone today, we're gonna discuss What do you do when you got a flat foot while you're deadlifting and so My girlfriend actually asked me this question. So as you come down to the bottom I'm gonna turn over and show you the goods here. So As you come down to the bottom I can't believe I just said that as you come down to the bottom your Feet might collapse in like this You see how my heels kind of move out this way and I put a lot of pressure on the inside of my heels and The insides of my feet here That to me is indicative of a lack of mobility and very specifically you're noticing that the ankles are not Maintaining a good stable position, right? I'm not getting the right amount of Door deflection that I need that's where the the knee comes ahead of the toe that kind of motion So there's a couple things I can do first and foremost. I need to just cue the foot that way if I start Bending that way and I'm up here. It's not a mobility problem It's a motor control problem, right because there's no mobility demand up here But if I'm just holding myself here in toward my midline, then I know that I need I'm my body feels the need to do That to stay stable, right? So instead if I notice that right away what I got to do is let's say I want to think Tripod foot and so I'm going to evenly disperse my weight between my heel My base of my pinky toe and my base of my big toe Okay, and so when I collapse inward I can feel more of my big toe And I almost can't feel my outer pinky toe at all right every time I bend over my glasses keep sliding down It's crazy. Okay, so I might just say scoot your weight to the outsides of your feet I like to say the tripod foot thing because it prevents Overdoing it right. I don't want this to happen either. That's not a very stable position But start with that cue especially if you're noticing it first After that if you're queuing it and it's really hard to respond to that Well, I might just need to limit the motion, right? Let's just come to the knee and then come back up Come to the knee and come back up Some people are only going to get this ankle collapse once you get down to the bottom of the deadlift And so I get here and then I try to find that little extra motion and you see my feet come in like that Okay So it's the same principle. We're going to address I like to use the tripod foot thing, but we're going to address where you're messing it up Okay, so we need to Re-educate you at the bottom of the deadlift when your hips are totally flexed and when your body is demanding the most mobility out of you, right? So that tripod foot cue I'm not giving you any other cues because that one works every time If the just because it's so slow, right?  They're not allowing you to feel your arch at all These ones are actually kind of doing that to me, too But they look sweet and they're clean and I'm on my carpet. So we're gonna keep them. I Need to make sure I can feel where my foot is small little anecdote a couple days ago I had a client and he told me he has high arches I looked at him confirmed he was correct and Then we put some paper towel in his shoe to bring up the arch of his shoe so that he could just feel a little something there and His hip rotation went from 15 to 50 15 to 5 0 It's just crazy, right? And so I can't expect my body to always Utilize all that motion if it can't feel where it is in space And so that's why footwear is really important sometimes Some people don't need to be so particular about it, but if you have super flat feet You might need some hard sold orthotics from your podiatrist And if you have super high arches, you might need a little bit more cushion up there so that you can feel something Collapsing feet those are the big things so I'm initiating it That's definitely a motor control issue if it's happening only at the bottom That could be a motor control issue as well as most mobility problems are But it could also just be a mobility problem. So maybe I just need to limit my motion and not come all the way down Maybe I don't need all that door deflection here or I shouldn't be trying to access all that door deflection here And this will give me a little bit more room Okay, if nothing else spreading your feet out requires a little bit more pronation and a little bit flatter foot position And so that'll actually help you it'll make that Compensation that you're doing a little bit more normal Generally allows you to feel your legs a little bit more So I think we've covered everything I want to cover this was talking about Foot collapsing flat feet ankle eversion Pronation whatever you want to call it during the deadlift a couple different ways that we might address it but again, I want you to think about it as a Motor control issue Repattern yourself instead of trying to do a bunch of ankle mobility drills and ankle stretches Try to figure out how to teach your body to maintain a good mobile position while you do your whole lift


The public's acceptance of carbon capture, utilization, and storage, CCUS, technologies in Indonesia is low due to a lack of knowledge and fear of potential risks. To increase public support for CCUS initiatives, it is important to communicate effectively with the public about the benefits of CCUS technologies and how they can be used to protect the environment.
