What's up guys, welcome to today's video. So today I've got something for you guys, it's super fun.  She actually drove about an hour and a half from New York City to come to the salon to have like almost a haircut fix happen. So this is gonna be a real full hair makeover. She was in a salon and they bleached her hair out and it started to break off. So she's got really curly hair. The damage is pretty significant within her hair. There's some pieces that are actually super short. So she wanted the shag haircut on curly hair. So I decided I'm gonna take her on, I'm gonna cut her hair. So we had a lot of fun doing it. We did it as a live class, but now I'm gonna break down the video for you guys, show you guys step by step how I did it and then also make some adjustments on where those short pieces and those broken pieces happen. I wanna share that with you guys as well.  There's a ton of information packed into it. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. Here we go. All right guys, so to start off this technique, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take a U-shape section underneath Pridal Ridge all the way around the head. The reason I go underneath the Pridal Ridge is anytime I'm working with curly hair, I like to have that top section just a little bit wider. I think it helps with the shape as I'm working through it. So it just gives me a little bit of extra control on that round of the head area when I'm cutting. So then the second section is just to divide the head front and back. So we go line directly down the hairline in the back so you can see how that density matches up. So the density is the same there. And then it's the same thickness in the back as well. We're gonna be cutting vertical sections working our way around the round of the head, cutting concave layers.  Within this shag, I wanna cut nice short layers in the interior. I'm not worried about that exterior length yet. We'll do that at the very end. We'll cut that when it's dry. Now you can see in the center of this section those broken pieces that I talked about at the beginning of the video. That's from her previous hair color at the salon she was at. That's the reason that she drove so far to come to me to get her haircut today. What I'm gonna do is try to ignore those pieces because they need to grow and just continue my shape throughout the haircut. So I do have that cascading top that doesn't have any broken pieces that will fall over this. So I'm trying to treat this in my mind like an undercut at this point. And you can see right in the middle, it just breaks off. So it's unfortunate. And that's why you wanna make sure that you go to the most professional person, especially to get lightning services on your hair. But it's part of what we do in our job. So you can see this is a nice thick section, totally different than the side that has the broken hair through it. So I'm gonna go through cut it pretty much the same. And then in the dry cut, what I'll do at the very end is show you guys some tips on how to blend all of that. Because obviously, if one side's fuller than the other, you're gonna have a little bit of a different feel or look to each side. So we wanna blend those the best that we can while the hair grows out. So continuing around the head shape, cutting those concave layers on both sides, the same exact way, same body position, all the way through. Now my goal with Jasmine's hair, obviously, because she had those lightning services, Carly went in there and she did a toning service basically over her hair, create a little bit of a shadow root using demi color, because we didn't wanna lighten her anymore. Unfortunately, in Jasmine's situation here, we're kind of playing defense a little bit because her hair is damaged and we're working through it. We want her to leave with healthier hair than she walked in. That's my goal every time a guest comes in is make sure that their hair obviously is never worse than it was when they came in the door. So we also threw in there, before we start cutting the front here, Joyco Defy Damage Pro Series one, it's a bond protector.  So now to move into the front to cut the front layers, this is a really cool technique to create some weight towards the back.  What that's doing is creating layering. It's gonna start shorter around the cheekbone area and then as it works its way back, it'll connect into the rest of the hair. So you can see already the difference in the health of her hair and how it lays, it's laying with a little bit of extra volume in there. And now I measure out each side and I start cutting just a clip of piece for my guide and I draw a diagonal forward line and I go through and I cut the same exact way on the opposite side, removing some of that hair to create those layers and the face frame technique, also that shag effect. Now you'll know when you're done when you run out of hair. So you just keep working your way back until everything is connected. You can see it gets longer towards the back. Now we're gonna work into that front section. This is pretty cool and I love this technique, especially on curly hair, creating a really, really fun like full front fringe and then some layering that will continue into the back. So we split it into four sections. You can see two in the front, two in the back and we're gonna cut each of those separate. So I take a nice diagonal forward line. I cut it, point cut it right at the fringe area. She already had a little bit of a fringe starting out that she had cut herself. So I went in there just kind of clean that up. And now as I take each section back, I elevate a little bit more to add a little extra volume into it. So you can see I try to keep everything at about zero degrees. So there's 90, there's zero. There's 90, there's zero. And I just work my way through that part of the head and this is why I section it into four on top is so I can work that first section. And then the back layers, we're gonna cut a little bit different. Another tip real quick is that I separate the parietal ridge. So as I take that section through, you can see I kind of part it where the parietal ridge is and just pull the top forward. I don't wanna connect the sides into this point here. I don't mind a little disconnection. Now just to take off some length, I pull the entire top forward and cut it at the guideline. But we're gonna go through and cut that dry at the end of the cut as well. So I just removed some of that length just to help me out for later. But this is the back part isn't done in the haircut yet. All right, so you can see that length that gets pushed towards the back.  But you can see those layers popping around the face look really nice. We're gonna use Joyco Defy Damage Protective Shield is gonna be our first product. It's got kind of a lotion feel to the base of it. And that's what I like with the curly hair, just nice condition feel. And then I go in with Joyco Power Whip, which is a whipped foam and level nine hold. So it's got a nice hold to it. Those two products combined are really great. So the Defy Damage Protective Shield gives me my UV protectant. It also gives me my thermal protection. And then the Power Whip gives me that hold, that creamy consistency, condition feel. And then I go in with a nice damp towel, scrunch up the hair after I get the product combed through. And then I diffuse it with my Dyson Blow Dryer. Now you can see all those curls popping now. Keep in mind that Jasmine's hair is super damaged. We're making it healthier. We're putting her on the track to having nice healthy hair. So what I wanna do is she didn't wanna lose a lot of length. I already took off some length in the wet cut. So now I'm going through and taking off as little length for her as possible. You can see the health of those other layers and the curl and the wave that happens. And it's just a really cool cut. But you can also see where on the left hand side, just a tad bit, you see some of that weight missing. That's just from the breakage. There's nothing we can do about that. She wants to have longer hair. So I'll go in and just take some pieces and try to cut into it. And I'm gonna cut a little deeper into the right hand side as well to help balance it out. I'm using a tease cutting technique. But that is the half open half close of the scissor. I'm gonna actually have some virtual classes coming out where you guys can learn how to do that hands-on with me over the internet. But it's just a half open half close. So you just push the scissor in and cut. You are closing the scissor. So it's not a drag, a slice. It's more of an actual cut. It just diffuses the line a little bit. Makes everything nice and soft. So you can see, I love the shape of this cut. I've done it on a mannequin before. You guys may have seen it on the channel. It's cool to see it on a real person. And just see it kind of unfold. But tons of volume. Now we're gonna finish it off with a little joy coat, texture spray, beach shake. And that's about it guys. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Let me know in the comments below what you think of this little transformation here. And thanks for watching.  If you go to shopfse.com, I just launched virtual hands-on classes. So we're doing one-on-one. Those are paid classes, but they're totally worth it because not only do you get to see me cutting hair, but I get to watch you cutting hair, make adjustments. We've got beginner level all the way up to advanced level, different classes set up. So layering, how to cut bangs, fundamentals, all these different things. So go check it out at shopfse.com. And also if you guys need scissors, combs, clips, anything, brushes, anything that you're looking for to make your professional life easier, we have that on the shop as well. So go check it out shopfse.com. Thanks for watching.


presentation today from my own perspective only. These are my thoughts, my ideas, I'm not speaking for the disability community and I'm not speaking as a student representative from UniSC either, officially anyway. I'm just here as Bailey today, giving you some insights I guess on things that I found over the last year as a student rep. So I am white presenting, I'm wearing a long sleeve black stripy kind of shirt, I have short hair and having a really bad hair day and I'm wearing headset. So following on from other people today that have spoken about diversity and and whatnot, I feel like I'm following on in that same kind of vein which is pretty awesome, we all seem to be on the same page quite a lot. But before I get onto that, and this is not working for me, hang on a sec. Okay, I would like to do my acknowledgement of country please. I'd like to pay my respects to the gubby gubby gubby gubby people, they're a traditional custodians of the land on which I work, learn and play. I recognise their continuing connection to land, water and country and I pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging. So I want to he's never been seated and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land. So for today's presentation, I'm going to talk about my experience as a student representative, talk about how one voice sometimes isn't enough in this space. Tell you a little bit about the collectivist perspective versus the individualist perspective and how that applies to the disability community. Present two collectivist ideas that I've been having of late. And then I want to discuss a little bit about how we can create that collectivist community by and then finally doing a padlet and hopefully getting some of your ideas as well. So we know that people with disability, they're 18% less likely than the general population to have a bachelor's degree. And let's face it, people with disability are less likely to have favourable outcomes across the board when it comes to education. There was one statistic that defies that, however, in Tasmania retention rates are actually more improved. So whatever Tasmania is doing for retention with students with disability, please keep it up, that's fantastic. But everywhere else outcomes for students with disability are less favourable. So what I'm interested in is how do we fix that? Also, I have a physical disability, so I apologise for being very slow at some points here as well. So my experience as a student with disability representative, I started my bachelor halfway through 2020. For the first four or five weeks, we were online only. And then after that, we started going to class on campus. And I was very nervous as a wheelchair student. I had a wheelchair for 10 years, but due to a lack of funding, I've basically been at home that whole time. And so this was the first time I'd really been out in public as a wheelchair user. And so I started going to class and that was great. One of my classes we had to do group assignment. And my group, fantastic. And the rest of the students in the class were great as well. But that assignment involved presenting an activity to the class that the class participated in. And the very first week, the group that presented did an activity where people had to stand up and then fall to the ground. I don't remember the name of it, I think most of us ended up finding something online to use for these assignments. But whoever won was the person who could do this most dramatically. And so I'm sitting there in my wheelchair thinking, well, I can't participate. And it was really upsetting because you could win chocolate and I'm a very big chocolate fan.  Yeah, she can't participate. So they came over to talk to me and said, oh, you can just sit there with your arms crossed instead or put your hands up instead. And I'm thinking, yeah, that's not really how we do inclusivity. And throughout the session, it was my first time, I guess, I got a bit upset. It was obvious I was upset. One of the group members came over, she actually pat me like I was a puppy dog, which was just kind of really weird. And anyway, so that was a really interesting experience. And it comes up in a moment. Not long after that, I became the undergrad student rep for the date, the disability and inclusion action plan for the university. And at the end of the semester, the two staff members working on that plan with me, they weren't available to present it to the Learning and Teaching Committee. So they asked me to do that. And so I did. And after my presentation there, one of the staff members said, why do we need this plan, haven't we already like fixed disability yet? Haven't we solved disability issues? And I couldn't maintain professionalism at all. I burst out laughing, thinking back to this group assignment that I'd had. And I'm thinking of social work students and my tutor, who also had no idea what to do that day in response to what had happened. If they weren't aware of accessibility issues, if they weren't aware of what it was like to be a disabled student, how can we expect anyone else to? So yeah, we kind of still need the plan. There's still a lot of issues. Every week I spend hours fighting for access at my campus. And a lot of the stuff, it's systemic. It's nobody's fault really. I can't blame anybody, but these issues are there. So the year after, beginning of last year, I became the co-chair of School and Law and Society. And that's our student representative group, students as partners that we have at UniSE. And as part of that work that I was doing as a student rep, I came to realise that our Student Senate had groups for various minority groups, such as international students and athletes, but no specific representation for disabled students. And so I founded the Disability and Inclusion Student Group. So we've been running for about 12 months now. It's been slow process. Not long after that, I had a conversation with Kelly Matthews, and she introduced me to Piper at SVA. And we started the Students with Disability Leadership Collective. Again, this has been slow process to get it up and running. But we've started that. We have another couple of meetings later this year. So hopefully from next year, that will be working nicely. Still, a student emailed me last week and said that they dropped out because they haven't been offered support at the university. So we still need to do a lot more in this space. As a student rep for the DAPE when I applied for that, I had to let them know why I wanted the position and why I was a good fit for the position. And so I emailed them my experience. And so that kind of looked a little something like this. And I'm not trying to brag here, why I'm using this as an example will become apparent a little bit later. But I have all of these disabilities, plus many, many more. My primary disability is LSDL syndrome. It creates a lot more disabilities. It's really fun to live with. I also have two children with disabilities. Those are my kids in the corner. I have various advocacy certificates that I've gained over the years. I've been a disability advocate for over 10 years. And so I kind of thought that I had a lot of experience. I had a lot of knowledge. And then I became a student advocate and realized maybe not so much. Maybe lived experience isn't quite enough. So even with all that experience that I have, I can't speak to some areas, such as I can't speak to having an assistance dog. I can't speak to having complete vision or hearing loss. There's a lot of disability areas that I can't personally speak to. And I imagine that's the same for quite a lot of student representatives who have a disability. And sometimes, even within our own disabilities, there was an event a little while ago. And when I arrived, some people had dumped their bags and coffees and whatnot around the accessible part of the lecture theatre and had left. So I had nowhere to park my wheelchair, except for the other side of the lecture theatre which wasn't being used. And so I was separate from everybody. I couldn't see the screen. I couldn't hear properly. And I ended up leaving after about 10 minutes because there was just no point to me being there. That kind of issue had never occurred to me. It had not occurred to me that this might happen. So I didn't have a plan for what to do when it happened. So even within our own disabilities, sometimes accessibility issues can come up that we're not ready for. We can also have within disability representation, sometimes things occur where two different accessibility issues collide. So if you think about volume, for example, sometimes meetings might turn the volume up and it was actually that same day, later on in the day, they said that this guy had turned his microphone up and it was very loud. And he said that he had done that to be accessible for people who may have been hard of hearing. And I looked around the room as an autistic person and I noticed three other autistic people and all of us were kind of cringing because we can't deal with lots of noise. And again, we ended up having to leave. So when those things can collide, sometimes having that one voice, if I had just gone in there as an autistic person and said, okay, this is my experience. This is how it needs to be. That's not enough. We need more than that. No one student can ever know everything there is to know about accessibility. No professional can ever know everything there is to know about accessibility. Disability is very personal and things come up that we can't always know are going to happen. So one of the things that I like to do is ask myself when I'm in a meeting and I'm speaking. I always kind of like to say, hey, am I speaking for myself? Is this just my lived experience? Or have I done the research and am I speaking for the community? And even then only generally, usually. In addition to that, we just need general additional support from our universities. So to look at the collectivist perspective versus the individualist perspective, I started reading about this a few months ago and I thought it was very interesting how with some global north cultures, they tend to have an individualist perspective such as Australia, where individuals may tend to fend for themselves, regardless of their capacity to do so. And collectivist cultures in the global south generally tend to gather around and support those in need. And this is the mass generalization. I've noticed that there seems to be an individualist perspective at higher education institutions where students are expected to speak up on their own behalf and advocate for their own needs. Unfortunately for students with a disability and commonly because of that disability itself, these students cannot advocate for themselves. Many students with disability have come to me over the past 12 months and told me that, you know, the university is not offered XYZ. Obviously feeling as the student I mentioned before did, that the university should be offering support instead of the university's current position, excuse me, of expecting students to not only ask for support but sometimes having to fight for that support. People with disability are a culture and to ourselves, we have our own culture. And within disability culture, there are other cultures such as autistic culture and deaf culture. Despite living in the larger Australian culture where individualism usually rules, within the disability community, we tend to have a more collectivist approach, which is not surprising because the Australian community doesn't tend to include us. So we have to help each other. We have to be helped by our families. Etc. So coming to university can be a culture shock for students with disability. And given that this can be due to the disability itself, it shouldn't be up to the individuals to change, but universities need to change how they deal with and support disabled students and student representatives with a disability. So with that collectivist perspective, how we do that is a complicated question really for minds far greater than my own, but I thought maybe we could start with two points. Universities need to acknowledge as institutions that students with disability may require a different set of rules. So if they could learn about disability culture and adapt practices to suit, don't expect students with disability to come to your world, that offers an adventure and come into our world. Within the student representative spaces, we need to ensure there's a collectivist approach to the work that we do and the systems that we create. So how do we create a collectivist approach? One of the ways that the disability and inclusion student group is doing this is by offering up multiple leadership positions for each of our campuses. Our group will still have two main co-chairs at the present time those are situated at our main campus, but in addition, we're about to have an additional five campus specific leadership roles so that members feel a sense of ownership of the group. Instead of strangers from a campus they've never been to, students will be able to talk to someone from their own campus. And again, SVA's student with disability leadership collective is being developed with a collectivist approach in mind at the moment. Students with a disability are often too busy dealing with their disability to be able to offer much in the way of student representation, but that doesn't mean that their voices shouldn't or can't be heard. Aside from thinking outside the box about how we might collate those individual voices, I thought of some other ideas that might help. So if we could look at possibly peer support for students with disability from the very beginning so that they might build the supports and the confidence they need to become a student representative in the first place. Further support networking opportunities such as the SVA, Students with Disability Leadership Collective, where student representatives who hold these leadership roles can talk to one another, learn from one another. But these are things that we can do within our individual universities as well. Assume that more than one voice is needed, but if there is only that one voice available, acknowledge that, seek further information, and be honest that maybe not all of the information is forthcoming in this meeting, but I can go and find more and bring it back to you. Create living documents within your organizations that can continually be updated and added to as situations arise. Disability is just so fluid at times. It's very rarely static, so having those living documents that can change as we need them to would be really helpful. Where possible when creating student representative positions such as students as partners, create disability representation in such a way where the student representative is given support, things such as having a mentor or a staff member point person and always have backup plans. We have disability flares, so quite often we'll have a day or a week or even a month or two where we can't be there. But that doesn't mean that we want to lose our position or not come back when that's done. And that's one of our biggest fears is if we can't turn up today, we'll be rejected tomorrow. That happens in life so often and knowing that that won't happen in this aspect would give us a lot of confidence in signing up for these things in the first place. Lastly, I thought maybe offering things like microcredentials in advocacy as an incentive. Disabled students already deal with so much stuff in our lives. Enticement can go a long way. So I'm not sure that anything like that exists at the moment, but I would be really happy in, yeah, I really want to look into that further in the future. So I've started a padlet and I'll put that in the chat in a minute. I was thinking if you guys had any thoughts that you want to offer, I'll keep this padlet up as long as I can so that people can contribute to that at any stage. I think that this is the beginning of a conversation that we all need to have. How we can make disability representation on campuses a whole lot better than what it is at the moment. How we can support disability representatives more than we are at the moment. And finally, if anyone has been triggered by anything in today's presentation, there's some phone numbers here and places you can go for help. So thank you. And if anyone has any questions, please let me know. Thank you so much Bailey. It was an incredibly inspiring session and thank you for sharing your insight and experiences.


Okay, back in 1973 there was a psychology experiment conducted by two researchers, Lepper and Green, who asked some children to make some drawings. Has anyone heard of this famous experiment? Okay, so they rounded up about 50 children who liked drawing. Okay, in colouring as well, drawing and colouring. They divided them all into three groups. Children in the first group were told that they would now get paid for colouring. In the second group the children were going to be given a surprise reward after colouring and the children in the third group were not going to get anything. Now, they separated the children into individual rooms and let them draw. After drawing the children in the first and second group received their rewards and the children in the third group got nothing. Then over the next week they continued to bring the children back and let them do a little bit of drawing each day. They monitored the amount of drawing the children did. The children who had been promised a reward for drawing did substantially less drawing in the subsequent week than the children in the other two groups. The children who were given a surprise reward after drawing and the children who were not offered any reward at all did substantially more. They continued to do drawings because they enjoyed drawing. The children in the first group who had been offered a reward basically slowed down as if they were waiting for another incentive to be offered before they would start again. I bring this example up because we're talking about bringing money. When we're talking about crowdfunding we're talking about bringing money into communities where we have people working professionally and where we have people working as volunteers. We're here on a Saturday, on a weekend. Some people come here as part of their job. Other people come here because they enjoy being part of FOSSTEM, part of Debian and part of the wider free software movement. So it's important to talk about the impact that money has before we talk about crowdfunding. When I was about 10, I used to draw.  I stopped drawing myself at about that time not because of money but because our family got a computer. By the time I was 12, I was programming assembly code and by the time I was 14, I was getting my amateur radio call sign. So I stopped drawing for different reasons. Nonetheless, those other activities like computer programming and amateur radio, some aspects of those I've done professionally for many years but there are other things like the amateur radio that I've never received any financial incentive for. I continue to enjoy it in the same way that I did when I was a child who didn't have to work or think about money at all. I don't think I even had a bank account when I was 14. That's when I started doing electronics and radio. Fast forward to 2011. Smartphones were really taking off back then. Many people were asking me, do you have Viber? Do you have WhatsApp? Can we communicate with you through Skype? I wasn't really interested in trying any of those things because they're not free. My interest in communication technologies was reinvigorated. I forked the SIPDROID project, which is an app for Android. It created my own project called Lumicall aiming to do some of the things that you can do with Viber and WhatsApp. One of the main features is that when you install it, it links to your phone number so it sets up your account very, very quickly. Many of the free software apps that you install, either on the desktop or on your phone, expect you to set up a server or to go out and get a SIP account, which all takes extra effort. This is one of the reasons why a lot of people are not using them. When I made my Lumicall project, I aimed to have that simplicity that had made apps like Viber and WhatsApp so successful so quickly. I launched the first version of Lumicall at FOSSTEM in 2012. Since then, I've been tinkering away at Lumicall in my spare time, basically fixing things when I need to fix them for something I want to do myself. I haven't personally done any paid development on Lumicall. There are many other projects like this that people have been contributing to them as volunteers. Other people develop them as part of their job. There are some companies that have been willing to sponsor projects like this. Google has very generously sponsored many students in the Google Summer of Code. They also spent $60 million acquiring the WebRTC code, which is in the Chromium browser, and that's all free software now. A lot of these different things have been going on in the last five years. There are a number of other alternatives to Lumicall now. There's Signal from OpenWhisper Systems, which also aims to have a big emphasis on security. There's Ring, which aims to offer a distributed hash table, peer-to-peer experience. There's Conversations, which is an XMPP chat app for your phone that's extremely convenient. At the same time, as all these things have been emerging, there's also been more and more public debate about privacy of digital communications. In fact, the debate got a lot of attention in 2013 when Mr Snowden started leaking documents from the US government. Some of the stuff that appeared from Snowden is very, very concerning, but when you think about it, the private sector is often a lot more efficient than the government. So everything that you've read about the NSA, you can assume that companies like Facebook and Skype are doing three times better when it comes to monitoring people and analysing their data and finding ways to use it for their interests, which are not always in common with your interests. I mean, when you think about it, Skype is a lot like its sausage. If you knew what was inside it, there's no way you would eat it. One thing that's been obvious to me for a number of years now is that developing an app like Lumicall is not something that I can completely do on my own. There are some things like testing on multiple smartphones that is just impossible because every year there are thousands of new phones. There are new versions of Android. Users report bugs that I have no chance of reproducing on any of the phones I have myself. So for some of these things to ever be analysed by a developer, we need to take another approach. I mean, there's an example of many of the different phones that are out there today. These are a little bit old now, but it makes the point. There are just so many phones out there. It's impossible for volunteers to keep up with them all. The communications space services multiple use cases. In these photos that I've put up here now, you can see on the left-hand side, you've got private communications with family members or with people that you have a very trusting relationship with, like your doctor or maybe your tax accountant. On the other picture, you've got big business. You've got organisations, you've got governments, government departments, universities and hospitals. Their needs are very different from the needs of private individuals. So when you make a call to your mother or to your spouse, you know exactly who it is you want to talk to. When you call your bank, you've got no idea who's going to answer the phone. So securing these types of communications is very different. The volunteer and community development tends to take a bigger interest in the private communications that we have with our friends and family. After all, why would we spend our weekends developing things to meet the needs of big business? But nonetheless, big organisations also have to use communications technology and we do have to communicate with them. I mean, 20 years ago, many big businesses and government departments and what have you were using fax machines. When email became viable, they all threw their fax machines away. How often do you see a fax machine these days? Many small businesses don't have one at all and they just use email for everything. Nonetheless, email provides an interesting example. It's a federated technology. It's very different from, say, a peer-to-peer technology such as Ring. Adrian was here talking about Ring before. And this is a solution that's great for security of private communications but it may not be very attractive to businesses and organisations. So they're going to be much more interested in federated solutions like SIP and XNPP. So making these sorts of solutions viable for big organisations raises some interesting questions. If they don't have free solutions based on open standards and free software, there's a big possibility that they're going to go with proprietary solutions.  If you were forced to use Facebook to communicate with some organisations? I mean, you can already see there are some app developers like Tinder who are insisting you have a Facebook account to use their service. They haven't yet seen banks going down that path. But in five years or ten years, what will the world look like? What will big organisations expect when they communicate with you or when you communicate with them? The US government has recently been talking about insisting that people applying for the visa waiver program have to give their Facebook address. So these sort of things are starting to appear and if we don't have free alternatives, the alternatives that are proprietary are very, very scary. So this is why I raised the topic of crowdfunding. Who does SIP or XNPP or other development on a professional basis? Who is part of their job? Okay, so many people. So we already have money coming into this space. So we're not necessarily going to run into the problems that Lepper and Green encountered when they started giving money to the children. People are already doing development in this space and releasing code that's free. You've got huge projects like Asterisk, FreeSwitch, Camillo, Jitsie. And a lot of them have been developed with money from organisations. But a lot of the money that's coming into these projects is not placing an emphasis on federation or interoperability over the public internet. They're only looking at replacing their internal phone system. So crowdfunding may be able to lift their attention on the federated solutions in this space. Nonetheless, there have already been some crowdfunding initiatives. Freedom Box appeared in 2011. They went on to Kickstarter and they raised $86,000. They've been making a little bit of progress every year. But they're still not at the point of releasing 1.0. It's still not a complete solution. It's a very exciting project and it's having a really positive impact. But after five years, the problem has not been solved. Diaspora raised $200,000. They've got maybe 600,000 users now. But they still haven't quite delivered everything that was promised in their crowdfunding campaign. And that was also over five years ago. So people are starting to look at these types of campaigns with a lot more scrutiny. Saying, how long will it take to deliver? What if something goes wrong? I mean, there was an example that appeared recently. It was the Peachy Printer. It was a 3D printer project. Did anyone hear about Peachy Printer on Kickstarter? So they raised about $500,000. That's more than double what Diaspora raised. And they just wanted to produce a 3D printer. With the money went into making a house for one of the developers instead. Leaving the other leader of the project and all the donors a bit upset. The project is now bankrupt. There is no 3D printer. There's a house. So this question of accountability is getting a lot of attention now. So I've been thinking about this. How can we make sure that projects don't go on and on for five to ten years? How can we make sure that people don't just run off with the money? And how can we make sure that donors have the confidence to put money into a project knowing that these things won't happen? So there are two points that I've identified that can help this. One is to make concise deliverables. So rather than having this goal of let's replace Facebook, which sounds great, or let's replace Skype, we come up with some specific targets. Like let's make a library that can help match phone numbers to SIP users or phone numbers to XMPP accounts. So that's a much more discreet objective. And it still helps us move closer to the goal. There's a list of these things that we can deliver that are easy to define and easy to determine when they're complete. And the other point is putting all of these into a project management tool like RedMine. I mean, there are other tools as well, but I've picked RedMine in this case. Because if we put them into a tool like this, then we become very accountable. The whole thing is very public. People can see exactly what we're going to do, who's going to do it and how much progress they're making. Now RedMine also lets us do other things beyond dealing with this question of accountability. In this screenshot, there are a few little things I've demonstrated here. Many crowdfunding platforms have a concept of different thresholds. So for your first $100,000 or 100,000 euros, you're going to do your core deliverables. And if you raise double that money, let's say you raise $200,000, then you're going to do some additional things. So we can go through each of the deliverables and identify which one of those thresholds they're associated with. We can use one of the custom fields, a pull-down menu, to classify them like that. That makes it even easier to manage one of these campaigns. We can also use custom fields in RedMine to help cost the project to make sure that we're able to deliver these things within those thresholds. And there are three fields here related to costing. Time estimations are useful for some types of development work. Some things have a fixed cost. Let's say that we need to develop a user interface and we've got a developer who's going to do that design work for a fixed amount of money. So instead of putting in hours, we can put in the fee that that developer is willing to be paid for that work. And some things have a percentage cost. When you're looking at platforms like Kickstarter, there are actually a lot of different fees. Things like the crowdfunding platform has their fee. The credit card companies have their fee. You might have taxes that you have to pay. If you're dealing with more than one currency, you've got fees for converting the money. And those are usually percentages. So I've added another custom field for percentages. And so we can put all of those things, including things like the credit card fees into RedMine as a separate project item. And then put in one of these three different measurements so that we can build up the total cost of the project much more accurately. So it's not guesswork anymore. Another thing that I've added in here links to external bug trackers. So if one of the things that we're aiming to do in a crowdfunding campaign is part of another project, such as Camillo, we can link to their bug tracker for that issue. And if there are wiki pages or other documents, we can link to those as well. And that makes it much easier for people to follow. Looking at that previous screenshot, again I've also added tags. So this is an issue that's tagged for SIP and XLPP. And we can look at lists of issues with each of the different tags. So these are issues tagged with Java. So I've made a Python script that extracts things from RedMine. So there's already been development on this in making the reports and extracting the issues from RedMine and building reports for every tag. So these issues are tagged with Java. So that lets Java developers see things they could potentially work on. This was actually really useful. This is in Google Summer of Code last year. I asked the students who wanted to do projects to look through the issues based on the programming languages that they're familiar with. And so this came in really useful even before we started any crowdfunding discussion. I've also been able to tag them with use cases like hosting. So for a crowdfunding campaign to gain momentum early, you need to have a few people who are going to step in on day one and throw in some money early on. These are the people who often come in with $1,000 or $5,000 on the first day. And then other people come and follow that very quickly because it gets attention, it appears on slash. So for something like this to go ahead, one thing I need to do is to identify organizations that might want to sponsor something like this before it's officially announced. So if anyone here has any ideas like that, feel free to come and speak to me or email me afterwards. Another topic that comes up with many of the crowdfunding platforms is gifts and rewards. What do you offer people as an incentive to be one of the early donors? I mean, one of the most successful musicians on the Kickstarter platform offered people the opportunity to come to a party in Berlin and write on her body undressed with textures in the middle of the night. She raised $1.2 million for creating an album, which is much better than she could get from any record company. But can you imagine people queuing up to write on a naked hacker? I mean, I've got some concerns that is this a too big a sacrifice to make to develop solutions to help people with privacy? So what sort of rewards are useful for this type of software project? When you're talking about crowdfunding for a software project, everyone who donates is going to get the software anyway. So the rewards are always going to be more trivial than the product you're producing. This is unlike all the other projects that you see like the 3D printers and hardware projects and games and things like that because there, when the company produces it, you still have to pay for it, even if you donate it. But with free software projects, everyone's going to get it as a reward anyway. But you still have to offer something else as a gift. So if you've got ideas about gifts that would incentivise people to donate to something, then I'd also love to hear about that. One thing that comes up is sometimes a sponsor steps in and gives some sort of a gift that they can afford to give or stock they have left over and this can make the campaign a lot more productive. So just think about it. Would you like to be able to call family and friends with free software this Christmas? And if we do something like that this year and it succeeds, then that's very, very possible. But if something like this isn't done and if we don't try, then another year we'll go by where organisations like Skype and Viber and WhatsApp will become stronger and free software will have even more difficulty getting into the market share. Any questions? I think we've run out of time so we're going to go straight into the next session. Have you got communication with the... He has been in touch with a lot of things. We will do something. First of all, thanks Daniel. Also for helping.


I've got to give you this claim I'm from, I'm an IT nerd I would say, so if I dive too deeply into taking this stuff, please just wave your hand. I know it can get very, very boring for people who, I don't know, might not want to get that much technical details, so please give me a note, I might not know this myself. But, let's start the next hour, 10-15 minutes, maybe 20, let's see how many meters I've got. I want to introduce you to basic principles of HTTPS, why it's useful, and most of all, why you really, really should use it and start right now. If you have questions, they will be Q-native in the end, I believe. If there's something very weird to you on the slide, just also wave your hand and ask a question. So, I hope I get very, very packed up beyond this, but I really try to take care of everyone and get you on the level that's also technical, but not too technical and give you off some high level details to tell it to your customers. Because that's what all about, someone has to pay for the limitation or something else and I want you to be weapons and also the ammunition to get this running. First of all, HTTPS, what does it complain to?   Because HTTPS, sadly, is not like HTTPS, it's very different, you should know about it. From start, there are validation levels. So, what does it mean with validation? What's validated? And that's exactly what's all about. There is a domain validation. Let's have something from the show outside, and by the certificate, by something, by SSL. And the first question you have to ask yourself is what level of validation do I require? If you have to think about it, there is something at the end that's priced. And the levels, I will start here, they are also the increased price that the most top one is very cheap. And at the end, there will be something really, really expensive. If you need something of it, you should know afterwards what you need. The first one is the domain validation. The only question it answers is the domain that it's doing all for is the domain's own controls. You get an email, you click a link, and it's done. That's all the validation that will happen at the domain validation level. So, that's where the logic of that. On the second level, you see it also slices cake there, it's getting neutral. You've got an organization validation. It's not just the domain you have to validate. If you own the domain, that's nice, but that's not enough. You have to have some organization records, so some text number, you have an address, you have a bank account. You have to prove that stuff. So if you have an organization validation level certificate, then you can also say, okay, that's not just the main owner, but it's also a corporation or a company or organization that's behind the domain. The last one, it's like a birthday cake. It's the nice and very neat green local bar in the browser when you're visiting your bank website, hopefully. It's not usually the main source of the bank account, just an advice. And the green is because the extended validation, if you want to get an extended validation certificate, it's the same as yes. It costs you time, it costs a lot of money. But at the end, you get a nice green website, you get a nice, ventilated logo, and you get this nice certificate that says you own the main, you own the company, you tell them you own, and it really exists. So this is a sign of trust and really is. The real use cases that come up are these ones. At the top level, you can see the most basic and the most important useful feature of SSL and HTTPS is increased the data become between the browser and the website. So saying this on the left side, you see those nice green checkmarks. It doesn't matter which kind of validation you use. It really doesn't matter. Each certificate is as good as the other one. We'll make sure no one in between the communication line between your browser and your smartphone or whatever, and the website that you're talking to can tap into that connection and with all the data. On the opposite side, if you do not use this encryption level, and you're surfing in a nice, wilty hotspot right here, and you have an unencrypted site, someone who gets into that connection, and that's easy by the way, can read all the data that's transmitted there because it's plain text. All your user data, your passports, it's plain text. They will just be transmitted really well for everyone. It sounds scary and yes, it is. At low cost, there is the only use case to use something else as a domain validation certificate. It is if you need to know who you're talking to. So I made the example of a bank account. That's just one example. You can account with many more like your health insurance, or wherever you have very, very sensitive data stored, then it is just not enough to ensure the data on the connection, but you also need to know that the data in person you're talking to is the person you think you're talking to.  There are no people behind there at all. The odd validation certificate, as you can see, is from my opinion, there might be other ones saying different, it's quite useless right now, because if you really want to make trust, you have to use a standard validation. The organization validation is too easy to fake, and my at some level of trust, obviously, you will need that trust to use a standard validation. Everything else, the main validation for just 0 to 10 bucks will do the trick. Don't think too much about it. The next slide. This is the same one before. This is a bit technical, so I try to rush through it. HTTPS is not as safe as it might be everywhere, because it depends on how you implement it and how the servers configure it. There are some parameters that you have to turn them on. If you don't understand it, don't get it. It's not bad, just here, turn it on. So, it's a cypher feed. That's the way it's encrypted, so it's like the encryption algorithm. You might have heard of many sets up broken in the last time. Those in both are the encryption cypher fields you can't use, and if you have someone you can figure out that you have to use it. In a perfect way, you've also already done that for you, and you don't have to worry about it. If you have your own server implemented, is that something you should take care of? The second one, the hash algorithm, that's something that the certificate provider, so the company where you're buying the certificate, has to take care of. Before that, you also have to take care of that. The hash algorithm is the right one. Too technical, I understand. The last thing, server configuration, very, very important stuff. It's quite easy to configure. It's just a property in your Apache or anything, so whatever you use, if you lost yourself, you have to make sure that those legacy codes, like SL3 and QLS 1.0 are disabled. The leaders have to use the enabled methods to circumvent a set of encryption, and it's useless again. The other stuff, they're involved again in good stuff. Last thing, certificate provider. I'm going to have to go now. Search for Anas Ahmed and SSL. It's a very, very funny story about how the SSL system is broken. In terms of, it's just there to make money. It is. But, on the other hand, it's very funny to read how to get back on that system. If you need this very scientific model, or there are many other providers who will provide you with certificates, there are some reasonable providers to get certificates. We had also asked years enough cases whether certificate providers, at least there were Dutch companies or other companies that were hacked, the certificates were broken, and they were useless again. So even worse, people could create certificates and sadly, it is happening again, because sometimes they can create certificates for Google.com or other websites that you never would expect if there is a green HTTPS. You're not talking to Google. So make sure you take some responsibility for your certificates. Now back to business part.  I have to pay money for that. The first thing your customer asks is, why should I pay money for that? My website will run even without it. The answer to this is yes. It will run without it. And why should someone buy a HTTPS when it's just that nice green bar in your browser? It's true. As I explained to you earlier, it is equipped with communication. If you use it to go to Starbucks or some public wifi hotspot, it doesn't matter where you are and there are many people out for it or shopping malls, I don't care. It doesn't matter. Many people on one wifi network that might also be at home. It doesn't matter. All the traffic runs through the same network and everyone in this network can read it. They can tap into it. It's called Man in the Middle. So it's technically not hard to achieve that situation. The network isn't probably secure. And most of the home or public network, they aren't secure for that. So security, if you want to log in to your WordPress and your credentials are not for the public team just by plaintext with the username and passwords, HTTPS makes real bad. Oh, this is my favorite one for selling people. If people tend to say, oh, my website is so important to my business, HTTPS might get the tip on the Google ranking. Because it's nice. It's a very, very simple to implement and very nice mission to the Google ranking. They do that for some time now to upload those sites to offering HTTP connected. So why not use this as a selling point for customers? Most important for the whole stuff, I believe, is HTTPS is meant to give trust, to make people trust your website, to make people giving data to your website. Because you're talking to business relationships. When you enter your private details into a website that you don't know where it's built, honestly, would you go to some website and enter your address, maybe your birthday, your email address. When it says, just enter all your personal details. Enter password here and you'll get something for free. I believe you've never looked in that process. Grab your password. On the other hand, taking a shop website, HTTPS is one of the factors that add trust. They're showing that here is someone really taking care of your data. Because your data is what matters. Your data, my data. That is what belongs to us and giving that away. Something that requires trust, imagine. Raising trust with HTTPS is something technically spoken, something that we should do to honor those submissions of data to our service. If you see it differently, you should reconsider, but one of those people who wants to take care of their data, same situation in the airport, sending all your personal data to websites that doesn't use HTTPS, everyone can read it. You really want that? I won't. The last point, this is a very, very recent point and it's, in my opinion, making the role as a self-HTPS story being strong. HTTP 2.0, it is coming. It is arising. It is RST by now, so it's standardized and implementation in websites and web shows and browsing is going on. It is coming. And it will be the future of the internet as it makes all the points to a better level, which is the current protocol. Those of you who don't know what HTTP 2.0 is, HTTP, you have seen it in the browser, HTTP from the point slash slash. This is the protocol which makes communication between the browser and the server, so it's kind of language. This language, sadly, is some years old now. It has several decades on it and HTTP 2.0 is the way of making better. Better in terms of, it will be faster. It will be more modern by design and it's an approach to get all the stuff out of the way that I'm making in websites, loading times to go up or... Nah, I don't know. Many things take into this program will get better and HTTP is also part of that. Many of us got a lot of attention in WordPress right now. On the main blog, if you're interested in, there are times about what is needed to be done to get WordPress on HTTP 2.0. To be honest, there's nothing that has to be done because it's just building up into the old HTTP and it's breaking nothing, so it's backward-covered a little. But, and that's the main point here, the HTTP 2.0 arose from speed. I don't know if many know that Google implemented speedy and protocol to make it faster. They had a kind of experiment. We know Google do their stuff, they make experiments and they show it away and it was a really great approach but it was only meant to work with HTTPS. Now, HTTP 2.0 was standardized and they said, ah, no, we don't want to make it HTTPS only. So that's the standard, but right now, those major browser windows we all know and I was personally also shocked that also Microsoft did this approach. They say HTTP 2.0, but only with SDL. So, I guess you get the point. Not having your website on HTTPS in the near future will cut you off on the next step of internet speed. Also, web servers like in the 80s, 80% of the internet right now, they all say HTTP 2.0, yes, but no HTTP 2.0, not without a cell. I guess you get the point here. Now, what to do? Actually, it's quite simple. If I haven't looked at it already, now, the very, very easy and quick steps how to get websites on a cell. It is really easy. The first one, buy HTTPS. Rule of the buy, get a HTTPS. You don't have to buy it anymore. I guess you got the point. The second point, you have to install it. So, it's nothing worthless. This is web server power. You have to have someone that's able to install it to your web server or maybe you have a hosting provider who has a nice interface or a web channel and you have an HTTPS button there or something like that. That's what you have to do first. You have to do this for your main thing and get a client there. That, sadly, won't make WordPress work with HTTPS instantly because WordPress is still HTTP by default and that's something that's luckily very easily changeable right now. So, all you have to do, open your WordPress, open the settings in WordPress, open the general tab, find those two fields, and say, WordPress Press, the title press, all you need to do is that necessary. Sounds magically, but isn't. Edit and then press the Save button and you're nearly done. Not completely, but nearly. So, you've done that most of the way done. Now, the nice part of it, what's this called? It's fully done with that. The bad part? Only what's this called? Existing content, blog posts, or whatever. You know, everything that's in a nice big text field it won't be changed automatically because there's unstructured data. There is just a link containing HTTP, and the URL to your site, maybe images or media content and that cannot be changed automatically because, you know, there's no logical relation between protocol change and just this HTTP as in those content. But it doesn't matter. You can also change that. The other thing that you need to take care of on the way to HTTP as in plugins. Plugins seems that you take external concepts. External concepts, this case, means the news of Tom Bosson or the jQuery library from jQuery again, or Twitter API, or you name it. Everything that's not on your server. And also, things that are on your server. So if you write this in your site for your plugin and you include resources, and there might be, I don't know, a reason why you don't use it in your scripts, what you should do, by the way, only include sessions to work as a functionality there. Then you might just edit the HTTP because you just don't know how to wait. The other thing, add networks. We work with some customers who use add networks to deliver ad works on the websites. Seriously, and I honestly don't understand why. Those networks are in some kind of prehistoric state, and they don't offer HTTPS. I don't know why. It might be a close thing, but they don't have it. There are customers that are here, but I don't understand why. It doesn't make any sense. It's like, I don't know. I don't have anything to compare with that. So make it better. How to make it better? First thing, text, log posts. You can migrate it. It's not that hard. There are plugins with repositories that are called release search and reface, for example. They move through the database and they search for string refaces. So that could be approach to it. You can also, if you know how to, manually change that. I wouldn't recommend it if you don't know what to agree, but those plugins are also working fine. Search for HTTP with the domain and replace it with HTTPS. The second part, if you have introduced so-called theme plugins, as I mentioned, there are two very easy solutions. If you have an external user, Twitter, Facebook, whatever, just use HTTPS for that. And if you use a plugin that includes something without HTTPS, just use HTTPS or make the plugin office to change it. All the big providers out there, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, they all have HTTPS support. And it's... We're not gonna hurt if you don't have an HTTPS site and you include HTTPS. But the other way around, if you have an HTTPS site and those content are absolutely new to you, then you get a yellow HTTPS. Because of content, your website includes is not safe. Save it in easy terms. If you have a website with HTTPS with content without HTTPS, you can forget the whole security stuff and it's just without it. Why? Because there is one link in the security chain. That's broken. That's broken because of that, and now it seems as if it's important. You don't want to do that. For the internal part, you have to be a little bit more careful. The easiest way would be just use the WordPress call functionality to enforce scripts and actions that are there. They will handle everything. There is still a reason you don't do that. Just remove the HTTPS from the URL you're including and those imports will automatically select HTTPS dependent on the HTTPS opened and what protocol it is. It is latency. Nothing that networks if you want to and need to use it and they don't have HTTPS, make them or leave them. Forget it. HTTPS should be more important than delivering ads on the website. The provider doesn't really know why it should be important for external users. And honestly, there were enough examples where ad networks were hacked and used to deliver a network. There were fans of such things. So it's that version that includes code or anything else from someone external to trust. I don't trust that approach. In conclusion, what does code has everything to do with it? We are there on the last meters because there are still some things about HTTPS in the backtracker but they will be fixed and I don't think that will be too long because HTTPS will be on focus. HTTPS has to work. So we are on a good line here. All you have to do is get certificates, install it, name the settings, change the content and it is still speaking about why it should pay money for all those certificates. It shouldn't. Let's conclude. For those of you who haven't heard of it yet, it will be the solution for all this name about money for HTTPS is too hard to install because it is a tool brought to you by Mozilla, and also automatic part of this one great HTTPS anywhere. And what it does is for one, it provides certificates of free. Free. Totally free. Lifetime. No one here and then the pay is free. And it will be on a level that will one meter of metadata be paid certificate with a new one because that is how it works. What do you have to do there? It has to be implemented.  If you don't know that, there might be a possibility to generate those certificates also on the website. I don't know if they really want to do that but there might be a service service. Anyway, remember I left you fruits and questions I need so yeah I personally have really really big and huge options for them because every discussion, every why should I pay why isn't that for free it will be. I hope that we have at the end of the year a solution that HTTPS is possible for everyone without any limits. If you're still considering moving to HTTPS you can't wait for this one but nevertheless, for example, start to sell offering free facilities right now. You can't start with that and it's not that much of a work to submit but the benefits are great and they are on a level every month of the summer. Yes, I am really eager for that. So go for it if you get right now. Thank you very much. Questions for Jan? I don't quite get it but what about external leads that still point to the HTTPS? Backlinks are in their age and this is about external inclusions. If this group needs JavaScript for example Facebook, so the Facebook integration is like us, or if you require some Twitter integration code then you're good to go. Coming back to my question, why is it if somebody links my web page as made to be it will still it doesn't matter? It has nothing to do with external links that are stuck in your website. The tools come from outside to your website. So anybody linking to my website for him it doesn't matter it will get an answer without. Sorry, I got the wrong but it was confusing. What would you recommend for migrating from a site that is running on HTTPS to HTTPS in terms of SEO? Do it. I haven't seen many cases where there was a slight drop in terms of traffic. So how would you recommend this move migration here? Yes, good point. Honestly a very good point because you have to take care of 7 points. The easiest solution would be just offer your website HTTPS only. So you configure a redirect from server level if the customer come to the HTTP he will redirect to HTTPS. If you do that with the 301 redirect Google will know. So if you have the breakdown it will usually happen because Google maybe recognized your HTTPS domain as traffic and content. This can happen. But if you always use HTTPS redirect all the traffic that shouldn't be an issue for you because there is no HTTP domain anymore. With the 31 redirects Google will also get notice of all the chain domains from the solution HTTPS only in your level. I'm on the way there, redirect I'll do the one solution. Great. Now you have to get your hand up. That's the last question. So you now say recommend like best-in-crit because it's free but why would you still play financial when best-in-crit is live? Usually. Now we also said the extra validation that you should basically pay for your money when you start working. Yes, I will. Good point. Let me move back to the beginning. It's all in the beginning. Let's run it all starts. The upper case and encrypting the data best-in-crit will be for free. So as I said all validation is used as a typical level because of the weight of money. The main validation will be provided for free by best-in-crit. What they won't provide because they cannot you know, that's encrypt automatically. It's true. It's running. They cannot validate if you exist. They can just validate that the domain you create a certificate for is a domain you control because they extend the email to you. That's it. So you pay for the validation and in my opinion it's very fair to pay for that because the company is behind it.  You are at least the one you intend to be.

Our study demonstrated that the addition of O-malizumab to allergen in unotherapy, AIT, resulted in greater improvement in asthma control than AIT alone in patients with house dust mite, HDM, driven asthma. This suggests that combining AIT with anti-ig antibodies may be beneficial in improving asthma control in these patients.

The study investigates the development and significance of adipocytes in primary chogren syndrome, PSS, by analyzing gene expression levels, real-time PCR, and immunohistochemical staining. Results indicate that adipose tissue development is more prominent in PSS patients with reduced mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation and increased inflammatory responses. Illinois 17 positive cells were detected mostly interstitially in the SG and around adipocytes, suggesting their involvement in immune reactions.

Alright, welcome back ladies and gentlemen, there was some trade chatter but in the end no deals were done, it's all good here on Thursday, the 14th, so there's the final printout, hot off the presses. I am least familiar with Serie A, so I'm gonna do this one first, alright, here we go. What's going on in the world of soccer, well a lot of teams are in their pre-season right now and there is for Juve, Manuel, Locatelli, that's 55 out of 500, you know what else is going on soccer Jilo, Wayne Rooney is back in the United States to coach DC United, the team that he played for for a little bit. Some of you may remember the incredible play in the dying minutes of a game where Wayne Rooney sprinted after this guy across the other side of the field, his side of the field, won the ball back with a tackle and then dribbled back towards goal, pinged a pass like 50-60 yards to the smallest guy in the field on the other side of the goal who headed the ball in for the game winner or the game tire, something like that, look it's worth looking up, it's a pretty incredible play. And we got Ricardo Orcelini to 99 and I know this guy, Zlatan, that'll go to AC Milan, that's for Eddie, alright let's go to La Liga, a lot of great stories about Wayne Rooney, especially being super chill around town, La Liga, the Spanish league and we've got an autograph, 202 out of 389 Roberto Carlos for Real Madrid, that is gonna go to Matthew Wood with Real Madrid, yeah Wayne Rooney is a legend, he played for my rivals Manchester United for a long time, England national team of course, there's Thierry Correa, 91 out of 99, but yeah a lot of preseason action, a lot of, I think there's still chances for some big transfer possibilities, but I guess the big news is that in a regular World Cup year, we would be watching the World Cup right now but it's gonna be a rare, not even rare I think for the first time, it'll be in the fall winter, there's John Stones, 95 out of 99 for Manchester City, names to look out for in the World Cup, Alisson, who will be part of the Brazilian national team, former Liverpool striker, Sadio Mane, will be, I think he's from Senegal right, I think Senegal's in the World Cup, I'll look out for Harry Kane, 1999 that's Martin Odegaard, that's for Arsenal, that's gonna go to Kevin, alright and second box, pretty quick break here and I'll bet that it's actually a pretty good year to collect soccer, traditionally there has always been a little extra boost or at least interest in soccer cards whenever a major tournament comes around, like the like the Euros and definitely the World Cup, people get really into it, alright back to Serie A, there's Ethan Ampadu, blue parallel, I thought that might be numbered but it's not, everything ships though and we have Silhouette, Jersey and autograph 51 out of 81, Mauricio Penila for Atalanta, that's gonna go to Kevin with Atalanta, practice look, oh that is out of 23, there you go and that is for, is that the AC Milan logo, no this is Bologna, that is gonna be for Martin, that is one out of 23, Ricardo or Salini, La Liga, you know what else is going on right now Gilo, the women's Euros, I think the group stages should be wrapping up soon and then we'll start getting to the fun knockout stages, yeah I think there's still one more, one more round of group stage matches and then we'll start getting to the knockout stages, it's in England, I think the English women are favored as well, so there's been some good matches, there's Jalphilish, here's a guy that to look for, he's on the the Portugal national team, maybe Luis Suarez, yeah it's gonna be crazy, the matches won't start until like basically Thanksgiving for us, there is an autograph here, Eduardo Camavinga, that's pretty nice, 008 out of 199 for Real Madrid, spotlight autograph for Matthew Wood in Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr also from Matthew Real Madrid, guys beat us, beat my club Liverpool in the Champions League final, disappointing, great match though, 66 out of 96, Johan Mohica for Elche, now let's see what's in the final English Premier League box, the final is the week before Christmas, yeah and that kind of screws with the English Premier League schedule too, I want to say the Bundesliga, most of the other European leagues have like a winter break, that's usually three or four weeks in like December, maybe the first week of January, but in England kind of like the kind of like the Thanksgiving NFL games we have and the Christmas NBA games that we have now, as like a sporting tradition, they've got like a traditional like Boxing Day fixtures, the festive fixtures as they like to say, so they got a big set of match on the 26th but now, but so they traditionally do not have a winter break, so they're gonna have to navigate that, I don't know how they're handling that actually, I think they may just have to play without the big stars for however much time, there's Aaron Creswell 81 out of 500, I don't know, there might be some some injuries, some other things to kind of look out for potentially, there's Westham United that's gonna go to, it's gonna go to Kevin or the rest, that's to 99, that's Keller, who might be the understudy to Allison, to Allison Becker, so it could be an interesting one to watch especially since this is rookie card, Liverpool, that's gonna go to Patrick I believe right, yeah there you go Patrick, a little something for you there, thanks everybody, I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com, thanks for watching, thanks for breaking with us, we'll see you next time for the next one, bye.


You know, it's been a disaster this season, and yeah, it's definitely a shock. Certainly, I don't think anybody on our side of the fence, from our player group, from our coaches or manager, or even outside the organization saw what it predicted this. Aside from the injuries, where do you think things have gone wrong? Well, we're going to evaluate it all. Clearly, unfortunately, we're going to have some time to do that. But I'd say everybody's had a little bit of a hand in it, you know, from top to bottom. And it's our job to find out where. You know, obviously, that's what we're going to be up to and tasked with. I certainly met with Hal Steinman around several occasions already, and this is not something we're accustomed to or used to. And I think there's definitely going to be a lot of internal assessments going on. Gary and Brent. Brian, Aaron, players have said that the fight is there, the world's compete is there, the guys in the clubhouse are there. Do you see that fight and that competitive spirit when you watch? I try to explain it as the fight is there, the care is there, the intent is there. Being a part of this organization from quite some time, I do know the difference when you're bad. A lot of those other things that you just described also come with it. I can just tell you, putting yourself into a player's seat, if they're at the plate, for instance, they do not want to fail. Or if they're on the mound, they do not want to fail either. And they're all collectively trying to do the best they possibly can to stop what's happening to us or what's occurring now for a sustained period of time.  And many of them have had much success in their career and there's a lot of good that comes with it. And no one wants the bad that comes with having lack of success. And so, yeah, they're certainly trying to swing away the failure or pitch away the failure. So they or we don't have to deal with what comes with that. Because obviously we're in a bad spot and we're losing sleep over, whether it's a front office, whether you're a player or a coach or a manager, this is a rough time. I don't care if you're in high school, college or pro sports, when you're part of something that's supposed to be really good and it turns really bad, it makes for a horrific experience both obviously in the game situation and the clubhouse and obviously when you get home. And that's something I wouldn't wish that on anybody, but it's also part of it.  And everything's going to be obviously looked at. Also, you made the decision to fire Dylan Lawson at the All-Star break. What has Sean Casey brought to the team in your estimation because the numbers haven't changed all that much? No, the numbers haven't changed. And in Dylan's case, obviously we were struggling offensively and we still are struggling offensively, but the one thing I was able to determine on making that difficult decision was how much I felt from my touch points with all of our players and stuff, how much connections we're going on with Dylan and how much of his coaching was able to be transferred over. We've had a lot of success with Dylan's programs, but at this level it's a little bit different and I don't care if you're whatever manager or whatever coach you are, you have to get player acceptance or buy-in and that wasn't that connectivity or relationship building, whatever that wasn't there. So I obviously made a change, something I've never done. But when I saw that that was the case through collectively the entire offense, I knew we just needed to find somebody different. So going to flip to Sean Casey, he is connecting with these guys. Certainly Dylan did everything he could to try to connect and obviously drive through the success on the offense and Sean Casey is doing the same. The only difference is obviously I think there is some connection there going on with Sean and hopefully we can get some better results. But acknowledge that obviously see something wrong, try to fix it. But if it doesn't get fixed, listen and understand why the question is coming because our job is to find a way to get better. Brandon, what do you say to the fans who are angry at the situation the team is in right now, where it is in last place in the AL East and also a lot of the anger has been directed at you through poor performance or roster construction. They seem to be pretty upset with the job they feel you've done. They want us to win. They're invested in this franchise, they're invested in our team and they're disappointed. And certainly I hear them loud and clear, we're disappointed too. And also how would you assess the job that Aaron Boone has done this season? I think Boone is doing everything he can possibly do, just like all of us. We're all trying to, you know, but I used the Dylan questions that came up as an example of trying to change something to find a way through it and get better at it. And so I think we're all pulling out everything we possibly can or have been, you know, even though the results haven't been there, including Aaron Boone. I know he had a team meeting Friday night after that, lost to Boston going into Saturday's game, but, you know, that didn't help. There's individual conversations, there are team conversations.  You know, that's the job and, you know, I can assure you he's pulling all those levers too.


Why does it seem like the church today has no standards? Well, because it's true. The church, by and large, does not have standards. And some would say, Corey, why would you even say that? Well, just look around. Look at the church, look at society, look at the church's influence on society. For example, the Bible has a standard about women being pastors, but look around, we see more and more of the pastor becoming women. The Bible has a standard on sexual morality, particularly the LGBTQ community, but what do we see now? More and more Christians are embracing the LGBTQ community or at the very least, LGBTQ affirming. We've got pastors who are doing just that.  That clearly is not true according to his word. God's word is our standard. That is what we've been given to live by. It is what we have to thoroughly equip us that we will be lacking absolutely nothing, but be complete. We know by and large the church is lacking in standards because we've got people who proclaim to be preachers or teachers of the word who will make up statements and say things like, well, because the Bible didn't say so, doesn't mean that it isn't so. The Bible doesn't say we can't be slain in the spirit. Therefore, we can be slain in the spirit. The Bible doesn't say that Christians can't have demons. Therefore, Christians can have demons. The Bible doesn't say that there won't be any more apostles. Therefore, we can have apostles. Since the Bible doesn't specifically say that prophets or people who presume to speak a word for the Lord, they don't have to be 100%. Therefore, we don't have to be 100% in our prophecies. The Bible has standards that people simply just don't want to adhere to. It's as though they want to make it up themselves and essentially be their own gods. You hear this term where people say, don't put God in a box. The problem is we're told not to make a God of our own makings, you know, a guy that looks like you, a guy that is progressive as you are, a guy that is as conservative as you are, a guy that is immoral as you are. Yet that kind of got one that looks and thinks and acts exactly like you. Now, this isn't new, lest we forget in the Bible, Satan had the exact same thought or the exact same designs on impugning God's standard, which is his word. Remember in the garden, he says to Eve, did God say? Well, Eve did on her account, did rebut and say God did say, but what did he say? What did the enemy say? That's not what the word means. That's not exactly what God means because in that day, you will be like him knowing good and evil. And what are we today? Knowing good, but even more so, certainly knowing evil. We've got people who will sell us something, who will tell us something knowing it's not in the scriptures who will lie before us, but we don't care. We've got people who say they have the gift of healing. Meanwhile, people in their own congregation are sick. A person claiming to have the Holy Spirit in them full of the spirit, having the ability to heal, they themselves having heart disease. Or another famous pastor tell everyone that the gift of healing is appropriate and we all should exercise that gift.  Again, imagine a preacher claiming to be some great healer and everyone around him is sick. Sort of like saying you have the ability to cast out demons and everywhere you go, even in your church, everyone has demons. And to prove that they are true, they'll put on some sort of theatrical show, the worst act you can imagine. All the while, the people with no standard, meaning the Bible, holding that in high view. All the while, they'll eat it up and believe it. Why? Because Paul made this statement. In the last day, people will not endure the sound doctrine, but because of the desires of their heart, their itching ears, what they wanna see, they'll find people to teach and to say what they want to hear. People will get them to see that they're not responsible for themselves. It's some demon. It's some sort of outside spirit. It's the spirit of, you name it, spirit of Leviathan, spirit of Python, spirit of this, spirit of that. Everything has a spirit. The demon of fear of losing a job. The demon of fear of getting married. The demon of fear of getting sick. Come out right now. Come out right now. Addiction to pop, bedwetting, addiction to habitual lip biting, in the name of Jesus, compulsion, knuckle cracking, tantrums and fits, thumb sucking. But what happened to the Holy Spirit who gave us his word? But now it's not just one side of the aisle that should be impugned because there are a lot of even more conservative people who have the same problem. Not holding to the standard, the word of God. In other words, what his word says is what it is. When a charismatic name spears that aren't mentioned in the Bible, he claims powers and he claims titles that aren't mentioned in the Bible. He claims to be something that he's not. What's the difference from a conservative person claiming to be the new Israel? Do I think we ought to love them because they're Israel? No, because I believe that the church is the true, real, new Israel. And in some cases, just outright replacing Israel altogether with the church. You may as well be a Hebrew-Israelite. If you're going to hold to Sola Scriptura, well, then hold to Sola Scriptura. Let what the scriptures say be the final authority. Do not read into it. Do not spiritualize, do not allegorize. Let the plain reading be plain enough for us plain everyday people. But no wonder the world is confused. The church is confused. And if we don't hold to a standard, then why should the world hold to a standard? We tell people that God can forgive all of our sins unless we sin. We tell people that you have been saved from the penalty of sin that is until you sin again. But that's not what the Bible says. Jesus is clear that all that have been given to him, he will not lose one. That's what the scriptures say. And yes, the Bible does warn people to make sure they are his. Guess what that means? Make sure you are his. That's the point of the warning passages.  What does the Holy Spirit do? The fact of the matter is, we are not listening to the very words that were given to us as a standard by the very Holy Spirit that we claim to embrace and to trust in. We claim to have these powers from the Holy Spirit, these spiritual gifts, but how selfish are we? We are so selfish that we will take these spiritual gifts that were intended to edify the body. We will turn around and use those very same spiritual gifts as to edify ourselves. When the Bible is clear that we are not to edify ourselves, but to edify the body. Again, the word is a standard, but we don't care. And since we don't care about his standard because we are so selfish, look at the world emulate us. Now, it's okay to be wrong. We're all going to be wrong about something. The problem is we can be wrong about something and don't want to be shown that. We're not willing to talk to each other about our differences. Instead, what we will do is we'll name, call, we'll run and hide and block people. It's not to say that it's wrong to call a person out for a sin or to call out a bad doctor. What is wrong is to do so and then not talk to the person whom you're calling out or refuse to talk to the person to simply throw a rock and then run and hide. That's not godly at all. Remember, we've not been given the spirit of fear but a spirit of power, of sound mind. A man that will defend himself rather than defend his doctrine rather than defend the word of God is not a man of God. But this actually makes sense. This is what the Bible refers to as the great falling away. Not of actual Christians leaving but people who profess to be Christians who are falling away from the actual teachings from the doctrine. They're not falling away from having faith. They're falling away from the faith from what the true faith teaches. This is what Paul says in his dying days. He said he has kept, he has held the faith, the doctrine, the teachings. Meaning it's important for us to do the exact same thing. Hold to that same standard. But since we don't, this is why we see people in droves leaving that faith. People who profess to be Christians who we are finding out that they absolutely are not, they are leaving or deconstructing and then causing others to do so. Why? Because we don't hold to a standard. Why should they? And the more that we don't hold to sound doctrine, the more that we don't hold to his standard, the more we see the world going down as well. Peter makes a statement on this subject. He says, Our job as believers is to share the love of God with others. Not with ourselves. He goes on to say in verse 10, In other words, one who is speaking the word of God. You know, that same standard. Whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies so that in all things God might be glorified through Jesus Christ. What's happening in the world is not something that we should be surprised or shocked about. Though there are tons and tons of videos that say this is shocking. This is surprising. No, the Bible is clear if we just read his word. Notice what he says in the next verse. Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you which comes upon you for your testing as though some strange thing were happening to you. But to the degree that you are sharing in the suffering of Christ keep on rejoicing so that also at the revelation of his glory you may rejoice with exultation. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed because the spirit of glory and of God rest on you. Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer or thief or evildoer or troublesome meddler but if anyone suffers as a Christian he is not to be ashamed but it is to glorify God in this name. So we are going to suffer. There's gonna be some issues but there should not be any suffering because we are sinning as a murderer, as an evildoer. That's the point. But now notice what he says here for it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God. And if it begins with us first that will be the outcome of those who do not obey the gospel of God. In other words, judgment starts with us. Yes, us, those who are supposed to uphold the standard of God, the word of God. And then he asks what will be the outcome of those who do not obey the word of God? Again, his standard. It's possible that I may have misjudged the church. How so? Because maybe who I'm referring to aren't people who are actually part of the church. They just go to church. Going to church does not make you a part of the church. And now that kind of makes sense because the people who would much rather listen to their opinions or others' opinions rather than the word of God have shown that they don't value the word of God. And who doesn't value the word of God?  People who aren't actually Christians to begin with. So maybe the people who would rather listen to somebody give some sort of fake sign, some sort of fake miracle, who's looking for a sign and a miracle to begin with, someone who would rather listen to someone else's experience rather than the word of God, maybe they aren't Christians after all.
