Yo, yo, yo, hey, listen man, stop what you doing, man. Chicago, we in the house, man. All the way in Chicago with Larry Hoover Jr., my guy, man. Ain't nothing like a Larry Hoover Jr. interview spending time out here in Chicago with the best. Check it, man. Boss Talk 101, stop playing. Y'all better watch this interview. He don't need no introduction, this guy. Man, I'm gonna be honest with you ever since I met him, man. I became, he became a friend of mine, man. I'm up here in Chicago because of him. His birthday, definitely was, it was a big birthday. We're gonna talk about all this. And I'm gonna be real with you, man. We're gonna just talk about a lot of different things that surround this brother, man. One of the coldest dudes I know, man, when it come down to being a good friend, somebody that'll talk to you and tell you, hey, man, yeah, this is cool. That ain't cool, but, and you need that as friends, man. Larry Hoover Jr. is in the building on Boss Talk 101. One more, again. What's going on, brother? Hey, what's going on, man? So what people can expect to see coming up and going forward with Larry Hoover Jr.? Well, with me, man, they can see me steadily fighting for, fighting for my father. Your father. You know what I mean? And fighting the, you know, just doing new ventures in life, just trying to move forward, keep growing the different things. I talked to one person that was like, it was like when you came to the school, I can't remember who it was beyond switch, that it was like they basically were told that you were coming to this school or something. And I was like, was it like that? Like, do you ever remember your presence being something that affected the whole surroundings? Or is that something by the cloud chasing? Cause I'm in Chicago. Like you had to behave once you came to the school. Then I don't remember who said I wouldn't glorify it if it was, but it was like, was it a thing where when your presence is felt that things, you know, have to be altered? Or maybe he didn't know about it. Not that I know of. It always felt like I carried myself on an even tone where I'm no, you know, it's me and you. We all, we all together. We on the same, you know what I mean? And it's opportunity for everybody to be whatever they want to be if you willing to work at it. I know some of it comes from, okay, that's my father in the name. But, you know, I never felt like, okay, I'm here and it needs to be like this cause I'm here. Maybe I wanted certain things to be a certain way, but I always wanted to be peaceful and respectful. You know what I mean? But not that somebody had to. I never took like, you know, put the word out, make sure it was like this. They feel that way, you know, the name. Tell the O'Neill. Yeah, the name carries weight though. Correct, because when you think about it, you look at the people and they watch the news and they read the tabloids and they see all of the social media, back then it was just tabloids. It wasn't even, it wasn't even, it was in choir or something. It would be, they had a way that they put media out. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, I could see that being a thing. I really could thinking about it. Well, in the media and the tabloids always gave a lot of the wrong narrative. Yes. You know what I mean? All they can see is one side of things. And yeah, it has been, you know, sides of things where it could have been better, but as it grew and moved forward, none of that was on.  That's real.  Yeah. This is my, this is my life and my legacy. You know what I mean? My father's legacy was supposed to be more of like Mayor Daly. Mayor Daly was the mayor of Chicago and they family came from the streets. He seen that he wanted to follow that blueprint and he was on the path to following that blueprint. But that was like too much power. He was supposed to be more mouth and mouth coming from the streets to seeing what it is to bring his people together so we can try to get a stake in our community. But they, you know, kind of stopped his legacy from moving forward. They, you know, gave him, they gave him the last case that he had, which was a drug conspiracy case. And a lot of people get a second chance after a drug conspiracy case. They don't want to give him a second chance to move forward in life. We just, we constantly go keep fighting, but we would talk about the, talk about the tabloids, but they put a bad near to them. There's people like you to give an opportunity to put the right near to him and know that he wanted people to change their lives. So did, okay, so your dad is still in maximum hold where you can't visit him or anything at all? Well, I can visit. I just can't touch him. It's through the glass. You can't, okay. It's on his phone through the glass. Do you think that they'll ever at least ease up on that where you can be able to touch him and hug him and all of that again? I think it's either some of the stuff that we working on gets to the point where he gets out, but I don't believe they want to let him out of there. I think they really want him to die in that situation. They don't want him to see the world. Cause I prayed about it so many different times because to me it's like, every time when I think about it, I know you've been living this life. So certain things you're over, you know, but when anybody, I'm sure other people who are watching it can, you know, feel it too. It's like, I just want to cry sometimes when I think about it.  She want to be with her husband. You know what? All his family, but definitely my mother. She's been to go on this journey. She's chosen to take a long ride, you know, and then we're constantly fighting. See, it's a lot of people that they've given up, you know, saying his name and I got love for him is the right thing to do, but they really don't know. They don't believe that something could possibly happen. It's people that do.  They say that he's never coming home and they just say his name because they like everything that comes with saying his name and that I love and support him. Like I run into the issues where, and I try to tell people, but people reach out to me to support what they trying to do as far as game, culture and behavior. And can you tell your father this and my guys over here and like, my father is fighting for his life. You know, you still talking about chief this and chief then got pictures of pitch, pitchforks and six point stars, you know, as representing my father while he's fighting for his life, you know, you are part of the reason why his opportunities get thinner and thinner because you still, I'm saying that he's not controlling none of what you guys are doing because if he was controlling what these guys on the street was doing, they would be doing growth and development. They would be helping fight some of the injustices in that community. They'll be taking stake in their community, but they keep the narrative of what, you know, what the government do. And if they differently, if they feel differently than what the government thinks, why y'all portraying him as chief and six point stars and pitchforks, you can't put the pitchforks and the six point stars down and have it in your heart and your chest or do what you do, but don't do it when you are representing and talking about my father. Exactly, but the thing, see these guys, I gotta be honest with you, to me, it's more, that has nothing to do with your father. That's more beneficial to that person who's doing that because they're trying to set forth some type of a reputation. I'm being real, and when I look at that, and I even think about Rick Ross and the whipping work in Hallelujah and saying all these things, I don't think that has nothing to do with your dad. That's more of a person trying to promote whatever they're promoting within the project of their mind or what they're trying to do for us for their image that has nothing to do with Larry Hoover who basically been locked up since 1973. You see what I'm saying? There's no way, because they don't even know him. They never, some of them probably haven't even read a book. Some of them probably haven't even looked up the history of it. They're just doing it because it's something that if I say this, and because of what the government has portrayed this to be, I can look a certain way. I can throw this out here, I can sell a certain amount of records. You know what I mean? And this is something that's really sad, to be honest with you. It is. Because you really, you're doing this, and at the end of the day, this guy who has really been locked up because of the legend of who he is. Like when we talked to Iced Tea and he said, Iced Tea is just a regular dude. We was at his house.  Now the legend of me, what people think of me, I mean, I could probably kick such and such, so many niggas butt in all kinds of stuff, but just who I am is not the legend of me. And legend is part fiction. Legend. A legend is part fiction. That's why the story becomes a legend. It's like the night you in the club and you knocked out one guy, the legend says you knocked out three. Wow. You see them saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah. The legend. That make it hard, man. Yeah, yeah, right. Because now you gotta live up to the legend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So a lot of stuff about me is legend. It's not the truth. It's just people. And that's exactly my thoughts. For one, you supported what I said with these guys, the working on their self, and they don't really, the concern about him is not real, but that's what we fighting. The legend of Larry Hoover. We not fighting for. The man. Yeah, the man. Like they not looking at who my father is, what his beliefs are, and the changes that he's made. They still holding him responsible for the legend of Larry Hoover. And that's what these people keep doing. They keep the legend of Larry Hoover going. Larry Hoover, the gangsters. You know, it's definitely people that know about some of the positive things and they try to promote that because he was somebody that kept order. You know what I mean? He kept unity between all the different organizations or what have you. And nobody was able to just bring peace like that so people can, you know, so it would be safe for our mothers and our kids and all our women to just, you know, be in our community.


This research paper explores the implementation of micro-health insurance, MHI, in Tanzania's Dodoma region. It found that while there were high levels of adoption and fidelity of implementation, FOI, at the district level, these were lower at the individual level. This suggests that the implementation process needs to take into account both organizational and individual factors. Organizational factors include the presence of strong leadership, communication and facilitation strategies, resource availability, reward systems, the number of stakeholders, and implementer skills. Individual factors include the level of education, occupation, length of time living in the district, and length of time working in the scheme.

In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Ross cat. The Ross cat is a native animal on the Indonesian island of Ross in East Java. The Ross cat is also known as a bussak or bussomadura cat. It is said that the Ross cat is from a pure breed line without mixed genes from other cat races. However, this cat is not yet recognized by Tikka as a cat breed. The Ross cat is a breed of elegant felines. It has physical characteristics very similar to a jungle cat or a leopard. These cats have a graceful look with a size larger than most of the other cat breeds in general. The face of the Ross is a little squareish shape. They have dark green eyes with an oval shape that is not too wide. The shape of the skull is roundish, with the chin being slightly tapered, while the ears are erect, pointy and long. Compared to most of the other common breeds, the tail of these cats is conspicuously long with a slightly bent edge. Here are some of the interesting facts about the Ross cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament. 1. Ross cat's history and development. The Ross cat is a breed of domestic cats that evolved in Madura and the Ross island of Indonesia. They are so primitive that there have been numerous local myths and tales about them, one of which is very strange. It says that these felines have a sixth sense and can only be maintained by a certain group of people like clerics, officials, and community leaders. Another myth tells a different story. It says, if these cats are taken away to the other islands by a boat piloted by unmarried people, the boat will sink. In addition to these myths, people also believe that, if the Ross cat is taken out of the island of Ross, the people who carry it will get bad luck. Ross is a cat whose beginning is unknown. But these are a very pure and original breed devoid of genes mixed from other breeds, yet, have a high genetic variation. Most likely the cat is formed naturally. According to the Australian feline expert Lassli Morgan, the Ross cats, especially those with a prominent blue eschew, have originated from the race Korat, the famous breed that is extensively spread across Thailand. Some sources have also mentioned that these cats have originated from the Asian race, which is evitable from the shape of its tail since its bent tail tip is a trait common to many Asian breeds of cats. 2. Ross cat's physical characteristics. This is a medium sized cat that has the looks of a leopard or jungle cat. They have a body size larger than the average cat. Their dark green eyes are embedded in a square head. The tail is of medium size and bends at the end. The color of the coat is a plain solid color with blue, gray, or chocolate hue. Brown is also possible but very rarely. 3. Ross cat's temperament and personality. Ross cats are energetic and playful but are apparently afraid of humans, and sometimes find it difficult to adapt themselves.  But, unlike most other cats, these cats do not want to work just for the sake of pleasing their owners. So, irrespective of the fact that how much they are appreciated for their good jobs, it will not really motivate them. It is the responsibility of the owners to search for ways of motivating them. Training the Ross would need some innovation and loads of patience since they might show a stubborn and grumpy attitude at times. These cats, with a primitive modality, are basically moody, and hence, is almost impossible to affirm that the methods that worked earlier for these cats will also work now. Since the Ross cats had initially been bred for the purpose of hunting vermin, it is now considered a domestic cat with a primitive streak after years of domestication. It would be wise for the owners to train this cat with all patience. It is also advisable not to apply the training methods of dogs on these feel-its since it would not be very much successful.

Ross cats grooming. Groom them at least once or twice weekly by brushing their coats with a soft brush. This is important in order to retain the natural gloss of their typical dark colored coat. You should also brush their teeth to ward off possibilities of common feline dental issues like tartar buildup. Trim their nails when they outgrow the size of their paws. 5. Ross cats training and exercise. Ross cats fall into the domestic cat category. People on Ross Island and nearby areas keep them as pets. The cats, however, have strong personalities that don't bend easily to human commands. They don't like to take orders from anyone. With a playful, zealous demeanor, these cats need lots of exercise for healthy living. Keep them free all day and let them play all day all around your house and remain active, making sure they do not get a chance to move out of your house. You can also take them out for a daily walk. A leash is recommended when you take them outdoors, which is for their wild, rustic nature. Without a leash you might lose control over your Ross, since their instinct might easily prompt them to get lost in the wild while chasing some rodents or vermin's. Begin your training sessions like litter leash and obedience as early as possible, while it's still young. But never pamper your kitten giving into its demands since this might eventually lead to serious behavior issues. Be in command over your cat, but never be rude during training, since it would only end in creating a distance between you and your Ross. It would be effective if you would generously allow them to play games with cat toys and involve them in learning to fetch and retrieving tricks. Running behind their favorite objects would be something they would cherish, since such tricks would act much better in keeping them active, rather than formal training sessions. This would not only keep them happy, but would also entice them to actively participate in activities, and at the same time, would take care of their need for daily exercise. 6. Taking care of Ross cat. Cats need to have a good balance in protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and nutrients. There are wet and dry cat foods on the market, and portions of both are necessary. Wet food is good for protein and dry food keeps their teeth healthy.  Just serving wet food could mean that their teeth will be more prone to gum disease, and feeding them just dry food could cause problems with their kidneys. Cats generally need clean water daily, and more so when they eat dry cat food. Always keep water in a clean bowl close enough to the food. Ensure that the bowl is cleaned at least once a day to ensure that it does not collect germs, which could make your cat ill.  Very few people think of the litter box as part of a cat's health issues. Always ensure that the litter box remains clean, with new sand every day. Cats tend to use other parts of the house as a potty if their litter box is too dirty. Some cat's feces can be dangerous to humans and can contain many diseases. Always wash your hands after handling the litter box. Also, make sure that the litter box is kept separate area away from the food and water bowls. 7. Ross cat's social attention needs Cats in general tend to require a lot of attention. Owners who are home often or are able to participate in activities with this cat breed will be delighted. Try to spend 10-15 minutes actively involved with this breed several times a day. Daily exercise will help maintain its body weight and keep its muscles toned and strong. Toys are important to allow the cat to stay active and engaged. 8. Ross cat's environment Most cats are active, especially as kittens. To ensure that they get enough exercise it is best to spend time with them and allow them to roam throughout the home. Cats love the outdoors but can get lost and pick up diseases. This is something you need to decide on, but keep in mind that cats that are only allowed to stay indoors need a lot of human attention.

Greetings. My name is Sophia Lee. I am a postgraduate student. Just finished my first degree in culture, creative and performing arts with first-class honors. I am a cultural activist. I work in the community with young persons. Hainesville Youth Club is the name of the group, also in schools and in the Caribbean region. I recently traveled to Ghana and did a cultural exchange with our traditional landscape. And what I did was taught the movements to Gahanians in a community group in Accra and they taught me Pan logo. So I took them through some pieces. First, I taught the drummers the landscape rhythm to which we call the engine with the bass, the kettle and the penny whistle. So they didn't have those instruments. They had the drums and I took the rhythm to them with a fast beat on a recorder. And as soon as they picked it up, it was automatic. It was good to go. So I taught them movements like scrubbing the deck, rough seas and it would show the hardship. It's a community-based organization and it was in a community in Accra and I thought that that was the perfect time to do the cultural exchange. It's a community group and we wear uniforms which represent the working class. And I taught them through the movements and they did Pan logo. So it was a pretty fair exchange. So before I get into the creative arts education, I want to show you a couple movements of the landscape. So scrubbing the deck as I spoke about earlier. So it would go like this. And some people do it like this. So there's more than one way that you can scrub the deck. And yes, let me just say to you that my interest in the EMEA Arts program is to research and examine the linkages between the diaspora and the Caribbean. Thank you.


Now a lot of what I talk about in these daily videos is my steps, my day, what I'm working on today, what is catching my attention at this point in my journey, but what I really want to be able to bring out and talk about and to help people with is the very beginning of the journey because that's what I find is the most difficult and crucial point is going from not doing anything to improve your life, not expecting anything to get better, just sort of coasting along or maybe even falling apart and moving from that point to the point where you feel like you're actually growing and getting better and then there's all the details of what that actually means and all the different steps and the different tools and the different phases of developing and growing. But for me I just found there's something so crucial about that initial shift where I went from not trying to develop to this becoming something that I do and then once that wheel started turning the momentum started going and then it really took on a life of its own and went on from there. I'm trying to cast my mind back to a few years ago and what helped to make that shift and it wasn't just one magical moment of transformation. There were multiple moments over different times when I would sort of begin a new process of change in one area but then not in others and then later begin another area. Like it was four years ago that I started exercising again so even though my mindset was still not good I was able to get to that point of beginning to exercise and then it was about two years ago that I really started seeing myself as I really started trying to develop a more active control of my life rather than passively drifting along. I wanted to actually consider the position of my life and make deliberate changes to improve my life. So that was already two years of difference. I had started exercising so that was and developing that basic going from zero exercise from the point where standing up and stretching felt like a workout because I was so sedentary to the point of then starting basic exercise. I mean that was a big step but even that was two years before I actually began to mentally think of myself as really trying to change the course of my life in a more fundamental way. Really taking control of what I want my life to be rather than seeing my life as just something that drifts along, something that happens to me. It's like a change from passive to active of seeing life as something that happens to me to seeing my life as something that I can build. So that was two years ago and it was really only one year ago that I really started to intensely develop self-discipline so from the point of two years ago deciding that I really you know I'm getting into that mental shift of being ready to of deciding that it is time to make a change and live in a new way. It was only just over a year ago that I really started to even to a higher level of actually changing fundamental habits and my way of life and developing my self-discipline in a new way and of course this I'm pointing out these three points of four years ago two years ago one year ago as being all these points at which a wheel began to turn at which I began to start a process that then took on momentum but even this this selection of these these times is of course simplified there are many times in between where there's there's a start and a stop there's things things start and then they can fizzle away or they can become distracted and or I achieve progressing one area but not another and so it's all these times of just starting. This seems to me to be the most crucial these are the crucial times and I want to understand better what it's like in those moments I want to know what is it that triggers that shift but it seems to me like the very beginning is this moment where that is where the process starts just deciding that it's time to start something it all begins with that little shift in mindset so I don't have a clear answer for what causes this I would like to hear some ideas I would like to to figure this out and really investigate what is going on in the mind at those moments when we first turn the wheel first get things started from a position of doing nothing to a position of starting off in a direction and it's it's quite an amazing moment because on the in those moments when we first start to move ourselves in a new direction it doesn't feel like anything's actually happening it feels like nothing it's like it's almost like rolling a ball down a hill so you you just nudge the ball and it just sort of very slowly starts rolling a little bit and it doesn't seem very significant you don't really feel any there's no big change you wake up the next day and it's still going on life as you've been living it but that ball started rolling that momentum that momentum starts to pick up so it's that little moment that changes course even though you haven't gotten anywhere new yet it's the critical moment of changing course so sometimes the smallest it's the smallest moment the smallest thing that is the most important of all and those little things that don't seem like much today they can start a process that before long will be rolling with great energy and create major change


Ex-servicemen in Nigeria have taken to the streets in Abuja to protest the non-compliance to the approval given by President Mohammad Abu Hari for the payment of their debarment allowance by the Defence Ministry. A correspondent files in this report. These protesters defied the ring and converge on Nigeria's defence ministry, located within the city centre. Former servicemen, widows and families of servicemen who have passed away are many of those that have completed their 35 years of mandatory service to the nation are all here. The decision to spread the money to three to five years. Why do you want to spread this money three to five years? You can imagine, look at look at that.  That is one of our our our objection to that decision and based on that, We have written a series of letters, reminders, in respect of this and nothing, no feedback from government. Some of them expressed their displeasure at the non-payment of their allowances by the government despite approval given by the president for the disboursement of over 130 billionaires. The president has approved 134 billionaires to be paid to us but as we speak, this administration will soon be winding down its activities and mandates and yet we are hearing excuses that this payment is going to be stretched within 30 to 5 years and we are asking questions why should that be, when does the just living service have been paid this money at once and we are their seniors and so this is not acceptable to us. They are calling on the defense ministry to leave up to their responsibility and respect the years of service. Why it is really painful is that our younger ones that are retiring after we might have retired, they have been paid this money. So I want to, the question that it comes to mind is what is the criteria they are using to pay those of our younger ones that are our juniors and we are not being paid. You understand me, that is the question that should come to mind because I really want to, is it that they are dividing the military or what? I am very, very disappointed because that money they are supposed to pay my husband, they didn't pay my husband and my husband and he is late and nobody to help me. So that money is for him, for his own suffer, that is suffer because he suffer a lot. So that money they are supposed to release that money to give me. It is hoped that the federal government will listen to the plight of this ex-service man who sacrificed their youth to serve the fatherland for peace, unity and progress.

I'm not my father long I know this Steve, get up, get up, get out of there Cheer up, cheer up and find this red leaf love Left me out here


Good afternoon, everyone. It's a great pleasure to be here. I grew up in India where I studied engineering as an undergraduate. I then went to the states and switched to business and got a PhD in marketing, and I've been an academic since. And throughout my academic career, I've studied innovation. In the first part of my career, I studied innovation in large Western companies because the understanding was that's where innovation happens. And then in about 2007 or so, I turned my attention to developing countries, emerging markets like India where I'd grown up. And when I went and talked to innovators in a country like India from the grassroots up, I was struck by how different they were from their Western counterparts. And they seemed different in three ways. First, their approach to innovation seemed very frugal. They were very good at taking costs out of the entire process and doing more with less, with limited resources. Second, their mindset was very flexible. They were very good at thinking laterally and improvising solutions. And if they had a plan, they would switch quickly to another plan and still another. And often, their solutions were designed to bring people who are outside the formal economy into the formal economy. Let me give you examples of what I'm talking about. Now, this is a bit of a caricature, but by way of contrast, this is what we might regard as innovation in a more affluent society. This is a fridge that will talk to you when you can talk back to via this tablet PC. And for that pleasure, you pay about $3,000. Now, I said it's a bit of a caricature, but there's an element of truth there. Often, Western companies will invest in innovation. They'll spend a lot. And often, they'll invest in technology for the sake of technology. And then they'll put that technology in their products to differentiate them and then charge the customer. Now, you might see that kind of thing in India as well, but you're more likely to see something like this. That's $3,000, that's about $30. It's a clay fridge. It uses the cooling properties of water that's stored in this reservoir to keep fruit and vegetables fresh for up to five days. This comes from someone in a village. I'll tell you more about him in a second. It's very frugal. It uses clay and water. The person's mindset is very flexible, very good at improvising. And his intention was inclusive. He wanted to develop a fridge for potentially millions of people like himself who'd like to have a fridge but cannot afford one and even if they can afford one may not have access to electricity. Here's another example. This is an incubator from a company like GE. It's a beautiful machine. It has all the bells and whistles, but you pay about $20,000 for it. Now, that puts it out of the reach of many people in countries like India who are often in rural settings where the health infrastructure is poor and the clinics cannot afford such machines. And even if people give them these machines, they may not be someone to maintain it and they may not be electricity. In a situation like that, something like this could be very powerful. So that's about $20,000, this is about $20. Now, it's not an incubator because for instance, it doesn't have an oxygen tent. It's a baby warmer, but it addresses a large part of the problem that these are designed to address. One of infant mortality, where if kids are born one or two weeks prematurely, they can't maintain their body temperature and in many cases will die. This helps mothers and midwives to avoid that situation. Interestingly, this was developed by four students at Stanford who took a course called Design for Extreme Affordability. And the objective of the course was to come up with a working prototype that was 100 the cost of the existing solution. Now, when I talk to people in India about these kinds of innovations and this frugal, flexible, inclusive approach, more often than not, they use this Hindi word jugard to describe this. So my co-authors and I then wrote a book which we call Jugard Innovation, where we defined it as the art of overcoming harsh constraints by improvising an effective, a good enough solution. It's not a perfect solution, a good enough solution using limited resources. And when we were researching this book and blogging about it, people from other parts of the world wrote to us to say, you know, we have something similar in our country. People from Brazil told us there were two different words to describe something similar. And it wasn't just emerging countries, also people in the West who said, you know, we have approaches like this in our country. So in the book, we looked at lots of examples and we tried to extract some principles that we thought were driving this kind of innovation and these innovators. Here they are. First, do more with less. Find ways to overcome adversity by seeking opportunity. Keep your solution simple. Often that helps to reduce costs but also make it easy for people to use and maintain. Think and act flexibly. Think if you can't climb the mountain, think of a way around it. Include the margin. Include marginal people, not only as consumers but also as part of the solution. And I'll give you examples in a second. And finally, all these innovators were deeply passionate about what they were doing and really wanted to make a difference. And this was important because often what they were trying to do was really difficult and needed that kind of commitment and passion. Let me introduce you to some of the people. This is Mansukh Bhai. He's the person behind the clay fridge. He comes from a village in the Indian state of Gujarat. He has a high school education and he comes from a family of potters. And in 2001, his state suffered a very serious earthquake and a lot of people lost their possessions including the clay pots in which they traditionally store water. And one morning he opened the newspaper and he saw a picture of someone's clay pot that was broken and the caption read, poor man's fridge broken. And from that, he actually got the idea to make this fridge. And he's gone on to do other things like come up with nonstick frying pans made of clay and also water filters made with clay. Here's another example of someone we cover in the book. This is a different sort of entrepreneur in India. His name is Dr. Mohan. He comes from the Indian city of Chennai in the south. Diabetes unfortunately is a big problem in India and people in the cities suffer from it. But they can go to his clinic and they can often afford his services. So he has a very successful private practice in Chennai. But he's also aware that diabetes is a problem in the Indian countryside at just a few kilometers outside Chennai and into the hinterland. And he knows that people there often can't do very much about their diabetes. They will not go to the city. It's costly and it takes time. But equally, his doctors are not going to go to the village. So his solution is this mobile van, which you see here. He worked with the World Diabetes Foundation that gave him this van and the equipment within it. He worked with the Indian Space Research Organization that gave him the satellite dish. And what happens then is the van goes from village to village. People like this lady from the village step in. This machine takes an image of her eye which then broadcasts via satellite to the doctor who can see it on his computer screen in the city and make a diagnosis. And then this person who's a local health volunteer then follows up. He takes instructions from the doctor and makes sure that this lady follows up with diet and exercise and so forth. Here's a third example. This is Harish Hande from the Indian, South Indian city of Bangalore. And he set up Solar Electric Lighting Company, or CELCO, to sell solar lighting solutions to people who don't have access to the electricity grid. And the first problem he faced was a lot of the people he was trying to reach couldn't afford the upfront cost of buying the panels, the lights and the batteries. And he says the best lesson in life he learned was from a fruit cart vendor who told him that 300 rupees a month was too much, but 10 rupees a day was not. And he realized he had to work backwards from that solution to offer solar lighting solutions at 10 rupees a day, which is what that lady would pay for kerosene. So here's his solution. He selects people like this from the community. He trains them to manage the panels, the batteries and the lights. He then worked with the bank to give them loans because they aren't banked and cannot get loans themselves. He guarantees the loan for the first six months.  So the end consumer, like the fruit cart vendor, is better off. She gets a much better quality of light, the same cost as kerosene. But equally, this person now has a livelihood. After six months, he can withdraw his guarantee, this person is banked, and he's an entrepreneur in his own right. We see lots of large companies doing these kinds of things in India. GE has its largest R&D center outside the US in Bangalore. And in the R&D center, they've been developing medical devices like this for the rural market. They know that doctors often have to go from the city to the countryside. So if they're going to sell ECG machines for the rural market, the ECG machines cannot look like that. They have to look like this. They have to fit in a doctor's bag. They have to be highly affordable and they have to run on batteries. So that's what they came up with. And to develop it, they didn't follow their usual approach. We would have been to do everything in-house and own the IP. Instead, they followed their competitors and use this kind of jugart approach. They said, well, we need a printer. They looked around and said, well, bus ticket printers will do the job and we can even use the paper. It's cheaper. We need a keypad. Well, telephones have keypads so we can use that component. So they used off-the-shelf components, cut and paste them, applied a quality control standard and had a faster, better, cheaper product which was successful in India, adapted for China, and now it's selling in the West as well.  They had something like 60% of market share in markets like India on the back of innovations like this where they actually send Nokia employees in the late 90s, for instance, to live with people in urban slums like Dharavi in Mumbai. And they noticed that even though cell phones were expensive, people were buying them and it was a prized possession so they were wrapping them in plastic to protect them from dust and grime. And they noticed that people were also using the light in the phone to see their way in the dark. So they incorporated those specifications, those features, into this really robust, affordable phone and it became a huge seller. So much so, I believe there are now more cell phones in the world than toothbrushes which is a bit alarming at one level but at another is very empowering because now you can offer services on the back of this platform to people like these people here in Kenya. This is a mobile payment service called M-Pesa where a lady like this can not only use a basic Nokia type phone to talk to Hassan who may have left the village to go and work in Nairobi but they can use that same phone to send and receive money. So he can send money to her which she can cash in the local corner shop. And this is a killer application in a country with a lot of migrant labor. So much so, in since 2006 there's something like 20 million people in Kenya who use the service and because they're now empowered, many of them are unbanked, you can sell other things to them like saving solutions or even solar lighting kits. And if you remember Harish Hande's problem of 300 rupees a month is too much, 100 rupees a day is not, this solves that problem very elegantly because a lot of people in the informal economy can now buy this kit and pay off the installment in micro payments using M-Pesa. It helps them, but it also makes it easy for M-Copa to actually take these payments from people who are dispersed across the country. Now we wrote this book about emerging markets and frugal innovation there in 2012. And since then we've discovered there's a lot of interest in frugal innovation in the West for the West. Now this is partly because particularly since the financial crisis, consumers have become very value conscious in the West. This is from a PWC survey that's found since the financial crisis when about 50% of people in the West answered yes to these questions. Now something like 67% answer yes to these questions. So more people are value conscious in the West. But they're equally values conscious. This survey by Nielsen suggests that people are concerned about the environment and social problems and they would rather work for socially responsible companies. And so as a result I think we're seeing a big change in how the West is constructed economically. We're seeing some consumers who are more proactive. They're not simply passive recipients of products and services from companies, but they're actively involved in the economic process, driving movements such as the sharing economy and the maker movement. The sharing economy is of course where consumers can directly trade with each other spare assets that they have such as a room in their home. And that sector is expected to grow exponentially and become as big as the traditional rental sector by 2025. The poster child is Airbnb and this is Brian Chesky pointing out the difference between them and say Marriott, which is one of being asset light. Marriott would add 30,000 rooms in the whole year. They would do that in two weeks. And so they can scale very fast. This is another sharing economy poster child. This is blah, blah car, which allows people who are commuting from say Antwerp to Brussels and have spare capacity in their car to share those seats with someone else. Blah, blah car now transports in a short time more people than euros start as in Western Europe. Now the maker movement. This is where people, ordinary people are increasingly empowered to do more with less. This is a group of students who graduated from Northwestern in Chicago. They call themselves Design for America. And they said to solve problems you don't have to go to Asia or Africa. There are plenty in the American backyard such as this problem of hospital acquired infections which kills something like 100,000 people in the US every year. What can we do about this? So they said, okay let's go to a local Chicago hospital. They talked to doctors and nurses. They observed them. They realized very quickly these people have every intention of being hygienic but there are many moments in the day when they cannot go to the wall unit to wash their hands or dispense a gel. So they went back to their studio which has basic equipment, some computing equipment and a 3D printer. And they asked themselves, what would a kid do? Well a kid would probably just wipe his hands on his trousers. Okay, well can we take that wall unit and have it clip on to the doctor's and nurses' scrubs? And what would it look like? So they came up with this, they did a prototype with that 3D printer and it looked like this and not only does this dispense a gel but it also sends a signal to a wall unit that records the data every time you do that. So at the end of the day the doctor or nurse can upload this data to their screen and see how they've performed. Now they did the whole thing, the whole process with basic resources. They got the idea through observation and brainstorming. They developed the prototype in their little studio with the 3D printer. They outsourced the manufacturing. They've crowdfunded the financing. They sell it on Amazon and they do their marketing without a budget using YouTube, they've done TED Talks and social media. I think this is something we're gonna see more of. My own student in Cambridge, Evan Upton came up with this $30 computer he calls the Raspberry Pi. He and his colleagues were worried about the fact that fewer people were applying to study computer science at Cambridge and the ones who did hadn't opened a computer and tinkered with it and hadn't done coding. So they said, what can we do to solve this problem? What if we created a computer so cheap we could give one to every school kid in the UK and even if they broke it wouldn't be a big deal. They thought they'd sell a few thousand units that sold several million, not just to kids but often their parents particularly their dads who are using these frugal devices to develop others. Another student of mine has taken the Raspberry Pi, clothed it, called it Co-Learner and he has loaded it with the Khan Academy which is the entire school curriculum in the US available on YouTube for free and his idea is this will be very useful in countries like India where often teachers don't show up to the classroom and students don't have access to the internet or even computers but often have a TV screen. So they might be able to access the Khan Academy through a TV screen and teach themselves. People have very sophisticated computers they carry around in their pockets. This is a group called Cell Scope at UC Berkeley who are developing a whole range of medical devices that fit into the audio jack of a cell phone. This is an otoscope which a mother can use to take high resolution pictures of the inner year and then send it to a specialist. And you see a whole range of these devices are a fraction of the cost of the standalone dedicated equipment. Increasingly we are seeing things like this empowering people. This is a $179 3D printer funded on Kickstarter but even if you can't afford that you can go to spaces where you can tinker such as tech shop or fab labs or maker spaces where for a monthly fee you get access to 3D printers, laser cutters and importantly a community of people who are like-minded and trying to solve problems. An example of what came out of tech shop is this thing I told you about earlier those four students from Stanford they had to come up with a working prototype so they went to the neighboring tech shop and they knew that their solution would need a blanket where the mother could hold the baby but they needed something more than that something that would keep temperature constant and they didn't know how they were gonna do that and somebody there asked them and he said that he'd worked at NASA and that at NASA they use phase change materials to do that so they didn't know what that was he told them about it and so they have a pad which has that phase change material which can be heated using electricity or hot water if you don't have electricity. Now they become celebrities this is Jane Chen with Obama and Obama has been a big supporter of this movement this maker movement he hosted a maker fair in the White House and this is what he had to say today's do it yourself is tomorrow's made in America. Now these maker fairs are fascinating I went to one in Rome last year that was the European edition and there were all kinds of things there there was a whole display by students from the European Institute of Design of smart lighting solutions and one of them had two sensors in a flowering pot which were connected by an Arduino computer which is like a Raspberry Pi to some lights and if the soil was dry the green light went off so you knew you had to water it and if it was red you didn't water it and I thought this is a cute application with no commercial value until I discovered this which is a product that's come out of California partly to deal with the drought in California it's a sensor you stick it into the ground it has a whole bunch of sensors that take readings of things nutrients in the soil and moisture and so on send it to the farmer's smartphone where an app helps him to visualize how things are in his field and manage his resources prudently water fertilizer, et cetera. This is an example that's come out of the fab lab in Barcelona where they've developed a smart citizen kit and that's the kit which they made in the fab lab they sell it to people in Barcelona on the internet and people install it in their homes it helps them to track all these things and then get feedback on how, for instance, noisy their apartment is relative to other parts of Barcelona or how polluted it is and they can be more engaged in the process of speaking to their council. Let me just end with some thoughts on how large companies can do frugal innovation. My co-authors wrote this book earlier this year to reflect on what this means for large organizations and we have a simple definition in the book frugal innovation is a ratio of value to resources value to customers, shareholders or society and these resources could be financial, natural or time and we did the same thing we looked at lots of examples and we extracted some principles I'm not going to go through all of them I'll just give you some examples and let's take the one about create sustainable solutions this is Target, it's a French flooring company and they've given themselves the target of being a completely circular enterprise to reduce and recycle and reuse everything all the materials in their products by 2020 and they recognize that would also mean moving from a model where they sell to people to a service model. I mentioned tech shops earlier this is, these are Ford employees Ford the Motor Company has a partnership with Tech Shop in Detroit for Ford employees to go and tinker with other people and they've noticed this has increased their morale but also increased their productivity. This is Beth Comstock of GE a 100 plus year old company of Behemoth with Sam Kaufman who's a 20-something CEO of this company startup in New York called Quirky so imagine this big company going to Quirky and saying can you help us with innovation? What Quirky does is it crowdsources innovations there's a platform that we can go on to and we can suggest ideas for home appliances that everybody else votes on and then Quirky selects the most popular ones to prototype and then to commercialize. So GE went and said can you help us with our air conditioning line? And it so happened that one of the people on the Quirky community had this idea for a smart air conditioner that allowed people to manage the air conditioner from their offices for instance on their way home using an app and so now it's been co-branded the solution by GE and Quirky. A final example of Barclays which have set up an accelerator in London where working with tech stars they select 10 promising FinTech startups that are housed there for 13 weeks. During this time mentors from the main bank help these startups to improve their idea. The startups gain a lot of insight into banking, the regulations, the customers but the mentors from the main bank are energized by these conversations and discover things they didn't know were possible with technology and at the end of the process Barclays can decide to incorporate them into the bank or merely to invest in them. So let me conclude by saying the challenge for large organizations often is to learn to do more with less, to be more agile and to include excluded groups. There are three ways they could do this. They can give employees time and space to experiment a bit like Ford is doing with Tech Shop. They can engage with agile entrepreneurs like Barclays is doing in their accelerators. They can create this emerging market mindset by going there in a way that GE is doing for instance. The challenge for small organizations almost the opposite. They have this in their DNA, this ability to do things faster, better, cheaper but they need to scale and often they can do that by partnering with large organizations but that itself is an art. So let me conclude by saying that I strongly believe that the world needs this kind of frugal, flexible and inclusive innovation and I believe that Western firms and organizations can gain by engaging their emerging market counterparts and that large and small firms can work together to improve lives everywhere. Thank you.


Well, I mentioned that we started up the service design network chapter Here in st. Louis and that would be one of my first recommendations is join the service design network of find peers Find the other people who are doing service design. You can learn from them. There's a there's a wonderful community That's emerged over the past few years that is focused on this There are tons of people practicing it there It's an organizational imperative in many organizations to figure this out not just customer centricity, but digital transformation there's a lot of Services that have been done in manual ways that are needing to move to digital delivery need to Be enabled by mobile devices. There are a ton of really fascinating interesting problems that need to be solved Yeah, so I'd say first step would be find those peers find those people who are doing it and start learning from them And we have here in st. Louis and probably anywhere else where there's a service design Chapter there will be events where you'll have people coming in our next one is on citizen focus service design so we've got people coming in to actually talk about government and design for citizens how do you design government services for With citizens in mind, so there's a there's just so much Exciting stuff going on. I think and that's for me. That's the first stop join the community become the community Yeah, yeah, actually, yeah


Applied from Palo Alto, California. It's theCUBE at Peer 2.0. Brought to you by the Peer 2.0 Foundations. Learn, connect, and grow. Now here are your hosts, John Furrier and Jeff Frick. Okay, welcome back everyone here at theCUBE, here live in Silicon Valley in Palo Alto. We're here covering the Peer 2.0 Foundation inaugural conference where the brightest minds get together to talk about the future of this new grassroots organization around peering. Peering is the critical linchpin between networks, autonomous systems, DNS, all that stuff that's going on in the plumbing is really, really critical. And the people who built the internet are here setting the agenda and the conversations. I'm John Furrier with Jeff Frick. Jeff, great, great venue here in Palo Alto. The beginning of theCUBE, Silicon Valley, March official launch coming in September, but again, content rich environment, not a big fanfare, an inaugural event for Peer 2.0. Numbers aren't off the charts by conference standards, but the quality of the people here is phenomenal. We're talking about people who are A1 in community, A1 in building out networks, A1 in freedom. These guys are the players, real tech athletes. Yeah, down in the weeds, right? Keeping the lights on, keeping the internet moving. Even saying that really it was kind of broken we've been working on band-aids and baling wire for the last 15 years. And in the meantime, we've seen the rise of SaaS, the rise of mobile and the rise of a lot of trends that are putting more and more demand. So a little bit new to MySpace John, and I'm excited to be at a Palo Alto event. It's always fun to be at an inaugural event as a certain amount of buzz, as a certain amount of hype. There's not a lot of sponsor activity going on. People are really here to learn. And I was also very impressed by a very focused and deliberate attempt at knowledge transfer from the older generation who basically built the stuff and are keeping the lights on to a newer generation that are going to be handed the baton and take it from here. So I thought that was great. We're all about sharing the knowledge on theCUBE. We're all about providing insight. So that really dedicated effort I thought was admirable. But I wanted to ask you, you've kind of played in the space, you know a lot more about networking to me. What are some of the surprises that you heard today, things you didn't expect to hear, things that maybe did support some of your assumptions? I'm really surprised by how fast the peering concept that Bill Norton has been talking about for a long time. He has a blog or a website, I guess. And now he has a book. Dr. Peering. He's got the book. He's got the book on his 14th edition. Real advocate and participant in the industry. Obviously co-founder of Equinix. We also had Jay Allison on. Great interview with him. 30 minute content, talking about Dig, the future, all this stuff. But the acceleration of pressure that the network guys are feeling from the innovation from the rest of the market. And this is interesting, I asked Pat Gelsinger who was then the president of EMC at the time, years ago on theCUBE, four years ago, where's the innovation going to come from? Traditionally the networks enabled innovation on top of it, but now the model seems to flip around. Is innovation going to be dictated to the network from the top of the stack? And that is ultimately the big story, in my opinion, looking back at the generations of change, is if you go back to the early days of these guys, it was always let's move up the stack. Well, that's happened. The stack is fully robust with cloud. The stack actually is driving down to the network. So what's happening is they're moving up and they're moving down and the network is feeling the pressure to innovate. So this is an accelerant to that. And IIX is the startup that validates this space. 10 million dollars from NEA, Kitu, great partner at NEA, put the money in on this one. And really that demonstrates the viability and the business opportunity around this opportunity. At the same time, the community model of governance continues to play in the ethos of volunteerism, working with the community. Again, I like what's going on here. Yeah, very impressive. I mean, Rich was talking about that you would think that there would be just all kinds of people grabbing those last IPv4 addresses and holding onto them and putting them in a marketplace and trying to arbitrage the opportunity of the shortage. But he said, you know, really the community has self-governed very well. They've extended them a little bit further than they expected. That said, get your six addresses set up quickly because one big customer could come in and wipe out the balance of the inventory. But I thought that was impressive. And again, it just continues to reinforce that software is eating the world. More and more automation is being put into the software so that the people involved could do higher value, higher value activities, higher value things and really it's more this software eating everything. Well, theCUBE is all about getting the data and talking to tech athletes. You couldn't get a better event, Jeff, than Peer2.0. Again, not a mainstream event. It's not on everyone's radar, but I'm guaranteeing you this is kind of what it felt like at the Hadoop days early on. This is a game-changing trend. If you look at the future of content, you're looking about things like IP addresses. They're running out. Now you got to move to IPv6, a whole nother format that will scale service providers. So what happened with Netflix, with content? All these new content providers, social media, we're doing crowd chats, we're doing live video. This new normal is an omni-channel, omni-network approach. Peering is going to be critical. And I believe new algorithms, new technologies will be developed. It's a great opportunity to solve technical problems and create business opportunities. So I think this is an area that's going to be right for enabling wealth creation and innovation. Yep, and it's a great way to kick off our fall tour. So we've had a little bit of a break in the summer. theCUBE's been kind of taking a little bit of rest, preparing all the gear, and now we're getting ramped up. This is a great way to kick it off, again kind of a pure educational foundation event. Next week the team will be in Boston at the HP Vertica event. We've got VMworld just around the corner. So I encourage you to go to siliconagle.tv, take a look at the upcoming events, where we'll be. We try to be every place that's important. Also encourage you to take a look at the beta release of our new mobile app. If you go to the Apple iTunes Store, it's theCUBE mobile, theCUBE mobile, and download the alpha version of our mobile app. Let us know what you think. It's a great way to kick off the fall, John. Okay, thanks for watching everyone. Really excited to be here. Silicon Live from Silicon Valley, it's theCUBE. Stay tuned, go to siliconagle.tv, look for our next upcoming event. We'll be at our next event. Stay watching, and of course, Ustream. Thanks a lot for watching, go to Ustream.tv and keep us there. Vertica Conference is up next week. We'll be live in Boston, Massachusetts. Talk about big data, and more and more and more extracting of the signal. We'll be back next week. Stay tuned.


Hello folks, so welcome to this problem-solving session. So only learning theory will not help you So you'll have to do a lot of problem-solving to get accustomed to the rules and the laws which we discussed so let us take these four problems after this you can also download the worksheets and Try the problems on your own and if you are finding any difficulty you can always reach out to us So I have taken four Questions or four simple very very simple problems here just to illustrate The the rules and the laws which we just learned in the previous sessions now first one is three to the power three Into three to the power two So first one if you see three to the power three into three to the power two so this This thing the thing which comes to my mind in is nothing but a to the power m Into a to the power n right if you see the bases are same the powers are different Right, so bases are same powers are different this first rule should come to your mind So a to the power m into a to the power n is equal to a to the power m plus n So it is simply three into Three plus two which is three to the power five Now it is also my duty to highlight few a few ways where you make mistakes So there are cases where if this is given instead of multiplication Plus sign is given and I have seen people adopting this rule and writing this as Which is a mistake. This is not equal to please be very careful whether it is a multiplication sign or It is a plus sign If it is a plus sign, then it is a case of addition and then how to solve this then then you have to take some Common things what what is it? So it is nothing but three into three into three and The other one is three into three, isn't it? So if you see three square is common So it will be three square and what is left within brackets three and then this is plus One isn't it? So if you can see if you open it, you'll get the same thing So hence it is nothing but three square into Four which is different from three to the power five. Can you see that? So please be very very careful. Let us now take question number two question number two is six to the power eight divided by six to the power Three is it it now divided by that means this is nothing but six to the power eight six to the power six to the power eight divided by six to the power three, isn't it which the moment I say this I Can see the base is same and it is a quotient form. So it is six eight to eight minus three By which rule a to the power m by a to the power m is equal to a to the power m minus n Okay, so hence, please be very very careful and hence it is six to the power five simply whatever is the value And third what is the third one? Third one says three to the power three whole to the power two. So three to the power three whole to the power two Which rule will be applicable? Applicable rule will be a to the power n whole to the power n is equal to a to the power m and Right m times n. So hence it is really not it is nothing but three to the power three into two Three to the bar three to the power Three into two which is nothing but three to the power six Okay, and going to the fourth one is four by three to the power minus two so Four by three to the power minus two is nothing but one upon four by three to the power two By which rule a to the power minus one is nothing but one upon a to the power one So hence it is nothing but one upon then four square by three square again by which rule a to the power a sorry a by b to the power m is equal to a to the power m divided by B to the power and B to the power and by this rule. So hence now it is one divided by Four square by three square, which you know by your previous knowledge. It is one Multiplied by three square by four square, which is nine upon 16 This is how you have to solve using sim this was a simple exercise We just use the four rules which we learned to solve these problems in the next session. We'll take up level two problems


In this video, we're going to take a look at the intersection between non-verbal communication and listening, specifically the skill of listening and active listening. So first of all, this takes place as part of our discussion of the hurryer model of listening. That's H-U-R-I-E-R, which stands for hearing, understanding, remembering, interpreting, evaluating, and responding. And specifically right now, we are in the interpreting area of the hurryer model discussing that. We're going to lay in non-verbal in interpreting and talk about the factor that it plays and the role that it plays in interpreting things as a listener. So interpreting as you may recall falls as far as the hurryer model falls in this area of understanding, interpreting, evaluating, and really just that process of processing what it is we're hearing and trying to come to some understanding and common shared understanding of what is being communicated with the person who's speaking as the listener. So that's where interpreting falls in there and non-verbal then we're going to talk about that as an aspect of interpreting. We've talked about some other factors in interpreting like shared understanding, frame of reference, and emotional intelligence. So again, now we're going to get into the non-verbal elements in that process. So non-verbal communication is to review the definition real quickly is the process of sending and receiving messages without using words either spoken or written. So anytime we have an actual word, the symbolic representation of these characters we put together as a word, whether it's spoken or it's written, that's not non-verbal, that's verbal communication. So non-verbal communication though is everything else and we'll talk about some of the different channels of non-verbal communication but when we have the word itself either spoken or written, that's verbal communication. What we're talking about is all the other parts of outgoing communication really. So a couple of things to understand about the nature of non-verbal communication. Some foundational aspects of non-verbal communication. First we need to recognize that all behavior has communicative value. As Paul Waslow put it, communication researcher Paul Waslow put it, you cannot not communicate. Everything you do or don't do, everything you say or don't say has communicative value. So it's not just words and language that have this communicative value in terms of verbal communication but non-verbal communication also has tremendous communicative value and communicates a lot. We're very expressive using non-verbal communication especially when it comes to the relational aspect because as we're going to learn here right now, non-verbal communication is primarily relational. If I said, okay, lay out your case for who is the better general at the conclusion of the U.S. Civil War, was it Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee, who was the better general throughout that period, lay out your case but do it non-verbally. You can't use verbal communication. Remember verbal communication includes sign language, so you can't use sign language. Some people want to get around it by that but we don't really do that. That's not how we use non-verbal communication. It's primarily relational. If I asked you to tell me how you feel about these generals or something that you might be able to do that using non-verbal communication certainly more easily than you could give me facts about their names or their birth dates or the major battles that they participated in. We don't use non-verbal communication to relay factual information. We use it to communicate relational information, how we feel about that message, how we feel about that person or whatever it is we're talking about. Non-verbal communication is ambiguous. It's ambiguous. It's oftentimes vague. It can be interpreted in a variety of ways. So we need, as we focus on interpretation here as a part of the listening process, we need to remember that non-verbal communication itself is ambiguous. So if I said, tell me what facial expression this person is using, tell me what they're trying to express with this. Now, a couple of them we might be able to identify a fairly effective expression that would be attached to that emotion that would be attached to that, but some of these are much more vague. We could come at it from a lot of different directions because non-verbal communication is ambiguous. It's really hard to pin down specifically a lot of time. So we need to bear that in mind that it is ambiguous. Non-verbal communication does occur in what we call mediated messages. So messages that use some sort of technology as an intermediary. We see non-verbal communication occurring in those. A lot of times we'll see it through, you know, what use things like all caps means that somebody's shouting, right? That's an expression of non-verbal communication, even though it's not technically non-verbal. It still has to do with just the words themselves. We've come to the shared understanding of the fact that if it's all in caps, then it represents shouting, right? Or we use emojis. We started with things just like this, very simple, using characters on the keyboard to represent a smiley face. And then we got more advanced. We had different kinds of faces that we could express, and now we just have all kinds of things, right? And my favorite is the ice cream, but we can communicate non-verbally through these mediated messages through using these different techniques that we've agreed upon. Non-verbal communication is absolutely affected by culture and gender. What represents, again, non-verbal communication is ambiguous. So what a non-verbal symbol mean in one culture is not necessarily the same as in another. And it could be something very innocuous in one culture and mean something completely different in a different culture. So we need to be aware of that. Just like language, non-verbal communication changes from culture to culture. So it's not universal. There are a few functions of non-verbal communication, and just real quickly, we use non-verbal communication for a lot of different things, including creating and maintaining relationships. We use it to regulate information or interaction to determine, you know, whose turn is it to talk, essentially. We regulate interaction through non-verbal communication. We use it to influence others, sometimes sweetly and positively, sometimes through intimidation, right? We use it for concealing and deceiving others, concealing information and deceiving other people, and we use it to manage impressions. We spend a lot of time thinking about non-verbally what we're communicating, how we're dressed, how we smell, what we look like, what our tone of voice is, to manage impressions with others. So we use non-verbal communication for a lot of different things. We also use non-verbal communication in a lot of different ways. So let's chat about some of the different channels of non-verbal communication that we have, excuse me, starting with our body movement or kinesics. There are a variety of different kind of categories that we place under body movement in non-verbal communication, starting with our facial displays. Our face is very expressive, and we use it a lot in communication to identify what a person is feeling, how they feel about that message, all those different types of things, right? We depend a lot on facial expression, so our facial displays enhance our communication a lot through non-verbal communication. Our eye behaviors, our oculistics, as it's called, our eye behaviors indicate a lot of time we interpret, again, to get back to interpretation. There are different interpretations for these things, but in our culture specifically, we interpret eye contact. If somebody's maintaining eye contact, we associate that with truthfulness. We associate that with somebody paying attention to us. In other cultures, too much eye contact could be a signal of trying to dominate somebody else, right? Or trying to express dominance over somebody else. That's very common in the animal kingdom. It's very common in different, especially collectivistic cultures, too. That's why eye contact is different from culture to culture. But regardless of how we use it, we use eye behaviors to interpret a lot and make meaning of a message in a lot of different ways. Our posture, just how we're standing or how we're sitting as we communicate indicates a lot about the message and how we feel about it. And we use it a lot to express ourselves non-verbally. And of course, our gestures, how we use our hands and our arms. Some people talk a lot with their hands. Some people don't. That's fine. It's not that there's a better or worse type of thing, but we use gestures and a lot of different ways to communicate non-verbally. So all of these have to do with our body and our kinesis. So we throw them under body movement, but they're all very important specific channels of non-verbal communication. Another is touch or what we call haptics. Haptics, again, just have to do with touch. We use touch in a lot of different ways to communicate non-verbally. Sometimes it's a comforting touch like this, right? Or to express affection or caring for someone else. Sometimes it's more of a clinical touch like what you have at the doctor's office when they're examining a particular area. If you're checking your lymph nodes in your throat or whatever, and they're touching you here, they're touching your chest to check your breathing and things like that or whatever it is you're doing, that's more of a clinical touch. But we communicate non-verbally a lot through different ways of touch and avenues that we use touch in a lot of different ways. And again, very culturally bound. Different cultures use touch in drastically different ways. So we need to be aware of that. But in any case, touch is a very important non-verbal communicator. We do have what we call paralanguage or using our voice and elements that are related to that. Now, this is different than verbal communication. Again, we've distinguished that verbal communication has to do with the words that we use, which are very important, but there's also non-verbal elements involved in, for example, how loudly we say those words or what rate of speech we have and the tone that we're using. Are we monotone or are we using a lot of different tones in our voice? So this is all what we call paralanguage or the way that we use our voice to communicate something, and that is non-verbal, not specifically, not specific to the words that we're choosing in that instance, but specific to our use of our voice. That is a non-verbal channel. We also think about space or proxemics. Proxemics have to do with how close we are when we're standing next to somebody, right? Or when we're talking to somebody, how close are we? And different cultures vary in terms of what's considered appropriate personal space or those types of things. But in general, we know that space is a very important non-verbal channel. For example, even just if we're sharing a secret with somebody, we lean and we whisper it in there, we get really close when we put our hand up. I mean, that's a couple of different things, but we're getting close. That indicates, hey, this is something I only want you to know, right? I don't want everybody to know this. I'm not shouting it from across the room, right? So we use space in a lot of different ways to express what our relationship is to that person and express things about the message itself. So proxemics or space is a very important non-verbal communicator. Some additional channels of communication, territoriality, the way we use space around us and we will protect that space in particular, the way we treat that space. This is my desk area or this is my part of the room and this is my car. We stake claims to these types of things and express that non-verbally. How we use time or chronemics, time is a non-verbal communicator. Are we making people wait for us or are we on time or in what message does that send? And so time is a very important non-verbal communicator. We also use physical attractiveness in the way that we look as is an important aspect of non-verbal communication. And we do things to enhance that, right? Our physical attractiveness to others or not. And that in and of itself, again, can be a non-verbal communicator, things we don't do in that regard. The clothing that we choose indicates a lot about what we do. Do we have a uniform for where you work and are you wearing that? And is there even if there's no technical uniform, what's the dress code where you work and what's the dress code at home and what message do you send by wearing those clothes? And those are all non-verbal communicators. Even things like if you're a fan of a particular sports team and so you're wearing or a particular band or whatever, you're wearing the T-shirt or a sweatshirt of that band or sports team. You're expressing yourself non-verbally. You're expressing your fandom, your loyalty to that team or that group or whatever. So our clothing says a lot about us and does so without necessarily doing so in a verbal way. Our physical environment. How do we keep our house? How do we keep our car, those types of things? And the message that that sends to how do we decorate? What does that say about us and how cleanly is it? All those types of things. Our physical environment expresses a lot about us non-verbally.  Our smell is, for example, very, very closely associated to memory. But we spend and we spend a lot of time thinking about how do I smell? I shower. So I use soap that smells a certain way. I use perfume that smells a certain way.  So as you can see, there are lots of different ways that we communicate non-verbally, all these different channels and then within them, all kinds of different ways that we use them to communicate non-verbally about ourselves. And so as listeners, then we also need to use that to interpret things about others. Coming the other way, what's the other person dressed like? How do they smell? How are they gesturing? What kind of facial expressions am I picking up as a listener from them? So we need to think also about ways that we interpret non-verbal communication. So just a couple of things here real quickly in terms of interpreting specifically non-verbals first, be sensitive to those non-verbal messages. Be aware of them and also be aware, though, that we need to decipher the meaning of them because they can be ambiguous. We need to take into account what's the situation? What's the culture that I'm in and that this other person is a part of? And if need be, do I need to ask for clarification? Because these things are ambiguous at times. So when we're interpreting non-verbal communication, we want to be sure, first of all, that we're paying attention to those things. And secondly, that we were able to then decipher the meaning of those non-verbal messages with those different context clues, the situation, the culture and even potentially following up to ask for further clarification on these things. So you can see non-verbal communication is an essential part of listening because it's not just the words that somebody uses that are important. Those are certainly important, not only that we be able to hear and understand those words and know what they mean and then decipher, though, the meaning of interpreting. You know, what's the difference between them using this word and that word, but also then non-verbally, there are lots of different things we need to pay attention to and be aware of. We need to step through that, not look through the keyhole of the door, right, but open the door to see the entire picture of interpreting those non-verbals and not just seeing the words, but also seeing those different non-verbal attributes that are a part of the person sending that message. If you have questions about non-verbal communication or about how it fits into the listening process, please feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you there. In the meantime, I hope that you will begin to account for these non-verbal behaviors as an aspect of listening and specifically as of interpreting and listening, trying to use them again to pull in those different context clues. In addition to the words that the person is using, what are some different other context clues and non-verbal cues that we can use to identify specifically and more accurately what the meaning is that that person is trying to convey and do that through our interpretation as part of the listening process.
