The new Jaclyn Hill video just dropped and I got a lot to say about it and you might not like it. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, I'm not a drama channel. My channel is actually about mental health. So sometimes what I do, I take what's going on in the YouTube community or pop culture and see what lessons we can learn from it to improve our mental health. So if you came here to get some tea, it ain't happening. But I'm just kidding. This isn't tea. This is actually coffee. Look at this mug. Look at that mug. I actually got that at Corgi Beach Day this year in California. I love it.  Fun fact about me. I actually don't like tea. I don't like tea one bit. It tastes to me like lightly flavored water. I'm just not into it but don't thumbs down the video just because I don't like tea. I know there's a lot of tea fanatics out there, right? But anyways, so before I get started talking about Jacqueline Hill, I do want to say full disclosure. I don't know much about Jacqueline Hill. Like I'm just getting into this stuff because of my girlfriend and her best friend. So fun fact, another fun fact, two fun facts in one video. My girlfriend and her best friend Shelby and I we're all in a little group chat but we're just like sit there and talk about all the stuff going on in the beauty community. Like that's really weird. That's really like if I told that to people, that'd be, yeah, they think about me differently but I don't really care. And you know what? That's actually going to be a topic in this video. But anyways, yeah, so we talk about it and stuff but my girlfriend's friend Shelby was telling me about some of the stuff and the controversies going on with Jacqueline Hill. I'm like, oh wow, that's crazy. So just so you know, like I'm going to be talking about this video specifically, what lessons we can learn from it. And that's about it. Like I'm not going to dive into past stuff with her. I know just a little bit and I don't want to voice my opinion about it but there's a couple things. So like when it comes to our mental health and there's one of the reasons I'm really big on meditation. So meditation or mindfulness meditation, which is what I practice, it's about cultivating curiosity. Okay, so much of what we're doing throughout the day in our head, we're judging, right? We're judging other people, situations. A lot of times we're judging ourselves and this kind of helps give me clarity and kind of clear some stuff up. So I want you guys to get kind of curious and like, I just want you to question some things because so many of us are just like on autopilot and it's really interesting to me and like not necessarily like right or wrong when it comes to certain topics but like I want you to just kind of ask like, why do I care so much? Why do things bug me so much? Why do I think this way and not that way and all sorts of stuff. One of the topics I want to talk about is like Jacqueline address like the drama community, okay? And some of the things and like what happened with like Marlena Stel's video or makeup geek, you know, she like showed part of her, you know, email and things like that. And she was talking about, you know, all these rumors floating around and she wanted to address them and stuff. And this is something that's really interesting to me. And as my channel grows, my loyal subscribers out there, I want you to kind of keep me in check and maybe bring me back to this video because something that I talked about, I was actually just talking to a young woman on Instagram and we care so much about what other people think. I'm going to link in the info card up here about how to quit caring so much about what people think about you, okay? This is crucial. But at a certain point when you get to this big place, like I just personally don't see why you need to let people know so much information, right? Like, I don't know. I deal with, you know, I work at a drug and alcohol treatment center. Let's talk about that. And a lot of people, they'll ask me, they're like, what do I say when I get back home and I go back to work and people start asking me? I'm like, you tell them it's none of their business. And then they're like, whoa, like, it's weird how that doesn't even cross our mind. Like, this just isn't any of your business. Like, if you watch the Jaclyn Hill video, it probably gave you more questions than it did answers. There were so many things because there's confidentiality and business and da, da, da, da, da. Like, that's one of the reasons why we got to prove to people with our actions rather than our words. You know, now as you get bigger, like one reason that I would say like Jaclyn did need to make this video, like the first half of it really was because she's a business owner, right? And there's some, I guess there's some stuff going on with her her palette. Is it a palette? I think it's a palette or was it brushes? I don't know what it is. But anyways, like as a business owner, yeah, it's good to communicate and be transparent about that stuff and say, Hey, we're trying to fix this. Like that's cool. But as far as like personal life and friendships and things like that, like, although it makes for good, I don't know, entertainment, you know, in the drama community and all that kind of stuff, like, I just like ask yourself, like, why do you feel other people need to know this about you? Why do they need to know certain things? What do they need to know your intentions? I just, I literally just made a video about how to earn forgiveness and how your actions speak louder than your words. I constantly say how your actions speak louder than your words. I just want to drill that into your head. Your actions speak louder than your words. So, um, Jacqueline has some like previous controversies and she's saying she's trying to learn and grow from it and stuff like that. What actions has she taken, right? What actions because as you continue to do things, people will learn who you are. Like, remember to thine own self be true. Like I had to get it through my head a long time ago. I am never going to please 100% of people. People are going to have their opinions. They're going to have their judgments. Some people just literally do not like fat guys with beards. I can't do anything about that. That's cool. You know what I mean? But to try to fight and try to earn this respect and things like that, like quit doing that because your words are just words. No matter what statements you put out, um, in regards to your personal life or your friendships or your moral code, like, you're going to get some diehard fans who believe you're going to get other people who are extremely skeptical about it. It's just what's going to happen.  Like, what are you trying to prove? How much effort? How much are you putting into this thing to show people who you are? There's a, there's this thing that I'm going to do more videos on, like self seeking, right? Like, and an example is the friends that you have, or you might be that friend who goes on Facebook and always tells everybody like, Oh, look, look, I'm feeding a homeless guy. I gave somebody some money. I did this nice thing for somebody because they're trying to give you an image of themselves. And a lot of people in this day and age, like, we don't buy it, you know, we want to see it. We want to, we, we, we just want to know that, you know, you're, you're being a good person just for being a good person, not trying to get credit or recognition. And this leads into my second point. And this is something where when I talk about the clarity that I want you to get, and I could do another whole video on this, but what's really fascinating to me is how people try to equate not making money with high moral code. Here's what I mean by that.  And one of her reasons is like, she just felt it in her gut. Like, she'd look back on it or wouldn't want to do it, even though she loves the brand, she loves the product. So, I'm sitting there like, what? What? What? What? You know what I mean? Like, but it's, it's rampant. Like, I'm sure a lot of people are like, oh my gosh, she turned down a million dollars. What a good person. Why does that equate to being a good person? Like, my son sitting over here in the living room just right behind this camera. And like, imagine if I just like ran around like saying, like, I'm a really good person, like we're homeless, but I'm a good person. I just refuse to take money.   Like, the other part of like YouTube culture is, like, I noticed this on my video about dissociative identity disorder. Like, people literally commented and said, like, think about this for a second. Like, isn't this interesting? People literally said, I think this person's telling the truth because they don't put ads on their videos. Like, think about that. Like, that's how you decide whether or not you believe somebody is if they put ads on their videos. Like, why? Why is that? We all, you know, most of us, most of us, we live in America or a lot of us live in different societies that unfortunately are run by capitalism where we need to exchange money for goods and services and things like that. So I just want you to sit back and ask yourself, like, why do you think that someone's a better person if they don't make money? Like, when we're talking about our mental health, like, I don't know, my life got a lot better when I started questioning some of the things that I believed, right? Like, that's what meditation and mindfulness does for me.  And when I'm noticing my thoughts in my experience, I'm sitting there. I'm just like, why do I believe that? Where did this belief come from? Was it my parents? Was it somebody I, you know, idolized? Was it, you know, this person who said this? Like, where did this thought or idea come from? Is that thought even me? Are these opinions even mine or is there something I inherited from somebody else? You know, and I would love to hear your thoughts. Like, leave them down in the comments below.  Like, for example, Jacksepticeye, that dude does charity live streams every month, he just donated a ton of money to St. Jude's Hospital. You know, without his following, without his money, without his resources, he wouldn't be able to do that very good thing. You know, so I'm not saying like, whether or not Jacqueline Hill's a good person. And then that might bug you a little bit, but like, I just want to take a perspective of what actually happened, what was said and just kind of have you like question these things, even with yourself. Like, why do you need to give some people so much more information? Why is making less money a good thing? Now, don't get me wrong, when it comes to our careers, like, I'm about to tell you something and it's not even about what I was just saying. But, but here's an example of when you should take less money. I'm going to make a video pretty soon about a job I had and let me know if you want me to make this video, you can leave that in the comments too. I used to work for a company that was so crushing. Okay. It had to do with MLMs, which is multi level marketing, which is the fancy term for pyramid schemes. And I got, I made a lot of money and since improving my mental health, I can't go back into that industry or sales industries. There's a lot of people who can do that with a good moral code and things like that. For me, I, I didn't trust myself. Like those of you who know me, I say I used to be an awful person. But anyways, the job I have now, I make half as much money as I used to make, but it's not to say, oh, look at me. I'm a good guy. I'm not making that much money. For me, I share that to my clients, especially because I want them to know that money won't make you happy because a lot of us do sacrifice our morals for money, right? So like, when it came to Jacqueline Hill, when she said that she loved and respected these brands that she turned down like million dollar offers from, I'm like, that's just ridiculous. It doesn't make sense. I was actually talking to my girlfriend the other day because all this stuff about like people charging $60,000 and things like that. I was talking to her and we were discussing it. And I was like, listen, if I ever got really big as a YouTuber, really big, right? And some company that I truly believed in asked me to do a sponsored video for $60,000. Would you tell me not to take it? She's like, heck no, right? So like, it depends on where that money's coming from. Does it does a conflict with your, your moral code, you know, and things like that.  You know what I'm saying? But anyways, I just want to share my thoughts and have you think a little bit about this stuff. I can't wait to see what you guys say down below. Let me know your comments. Let me know your thoughts. All right. That's all I got for you. So if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up, even though I don't like to drink tea. And if you're new here, my channel is all about mental health. Make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And I want to take a second to give a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon. I love you so much. All right. That's all I got for you. Thanks for watching. And I'll see you next time.


Okay. Well, thank you once again for joining us today on this webinar on the Global Flourishing Study, Understanding and Accessing Wave 1 Data. My name is Leslie Markham. I'm the Program Manager for the study at the Centre for Open Science, and I'm joined by Alex Vogelman, the Project Manager at Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion, and he'll kick off the webinar with a short introduction for us. I'll follow with a few slides on accessing the data through pre-registration or registered reports, and then I'll hand it over to Zak Ritter, Project Director at Gallup, who will discuss the data collection. Following, Zak will have Theresa Stankoff, who is the Data Manager at the Centre for Open Science, and she'll describe how to access the data. Please add any questions you may have to the Q&A. We'll try to answer some directly in the response box as we go, and we'll have plenty of time at the end of the presentation to answer more questions. We'll also follow up with any questions we don't manage to get to on this webinar. This webinar is being recorded and it will be sent out to all people who register for this webinar. It's my pleasure to introduce Alex Vogelman to provide an overview of the Global Flourishing Study. Thanks, Alex. Thank you, Leslie, and let me just say how delighted we are to be at this point, to be partnering with the Centre for Open Science and Gallup on this exciting project. So just again, I serve as the Project Manager for the Global Flourishing Study. I'm housed here at Baylor of the Institute for Studies of Religion, and you're probably all somewhat familiar with the general overview of the study itself that we're collecting data in over 20 countries, 200,000 people, all the big numbers. I wanted to just take a quick minute to give an update on how the research team that's housed mostly between Baylor and Harvard are employing this first wave of data. So there's a team of about 40 researchers across our institutions and then a few other adjacent ones that have formed a set of working groups. There's altogether about 60 working groups that are made up of about three to four people each. And what that group is doing, that group of 60 teams is taking each one of the constructs, roughly 60 constructs, and they are doing two papers on this first wave of data, one on demographics and one on childhood predictors. And then they're comparing that one construct across each of the 22 countries. And so since this is just first wave of data, not longitudinal yet, that we're taking this more measured approach and just trying to get a snapshot, just trying to get an even-handed look across all the countries and to seeing what's there. So I just wanted to mention that just to give folks a sense of what the Baylor-Harvard research teams are up to with this wave of data, but of course we are hoping that many others will use this data in ways that are fitting for their own research agendas. And so we're just excited and thrilled by the possibilities that this new data set is opening up. And again, thanks to Leslie and all the team at COS, thanks to Zach and team at Gallup for the amazing work that they've done on the research side where we set. We're just thrilled to see all this come together. So I'll stop it there and hand it back over to you Leslie, thank you. Thanks very much, Alex. And it's been a pleasure to work with the core research team on this as well. Okay, I'm going to share my screen now and we'll get cracking on some of these slides. And also just recognizing that Zach Ritter from Gallup has just joined us as well. So, hey Zach. Okay. So just a few words on how to access the data. During this webinar, we really want to focus on the data itself. And we have already done two previous webinars about the study, how to do pre-registration, how to do a registered report. We also have a website, COS.io forward slash GFS. Please do visit that. You'll see that there are six tabs full of information about the study, how to access the data, lots of resources, FAQs and also how to sign up for our newsletter and how to contact us if you have any questions. So we don't want to have to cover ground that we've already done in previous webinars. So please do visit that website for a lot of information. So there are three ways to access the data. Firstly, you'll need to prepare a pre-registration on the Global Flourishing Registry, which is housed on the Open Science Framework OSF for short and administered by the Centre for Open Science. You'll also have the option to prepare a registered report along with a pre-registration and submit it to a journal prior to accessing the data if you wish to try that route. If you don't wish to prepare a pre-registration or a registered report, you can wait for one year to obtain the data through Open Access. One purpose of the Global Flourishing Study is to provide longitudinal data to enable more rigorous research designs for many research questions that can be investigated with cross-sectional data. And so for this first wave, the benefits of longitudinal data are not yet present in the data itself. So to meet this purpose, researchers should construct either a synthetic longitudinal study by linking the GFS data with other data sets or by using the retrospective childhood assessments that are actually contained within this Wave 1 data. And you should have at least one of your research questions or hypotheses testing with this synthetic longitudinal design. So a quick run through pre-registration. When you go to the registry to add in your pre-registration, you want to be thinking about what that actually looks like. It's not just an application form. It's a way that you can specify your research plan in advance of your study and separate your planned, i.e. confirmatory hypothesis generating research from unplanned exploratory and hypothesis generating work. And the other thing is that the pre-registration process means that you'll have a time-stamped copy of your pre-registration to demonstrate what your research design was before you see the data. Doesn't mean to say that you can't do exploratory work after that, but it just makes sure that it's clear about what you knew before you saw the data or what you researched after you'd seen the data. So as you're designing your pre-registration, think of it as a way to draft your methods and results as if you were writing a journal article. This helps you think through what's to be done and exactly how you'll report it. So be as precise and explicit with your plan as you can and list out your hypotheses and which variables you'll use. Make design and analysis decisions before you view the data and describe the statistical tests you'll use on the data, what decision criteria you're using for interpreting the results and demonstrate your methodology and how the hypotheses will be tested and also list model form, covariates and characteristics that you'll be using and obviously detail what outcomes will be reported. So basically try and anticipate some of the deviations that you might need and include those in your plan as well. So just be as thorough as you possibly can. So once your pre-registration is received by us, we will review it in our moderation channel. We're not reviewing your research questions. What we're doing is reviewing to make sure that it's a rigorous analysis plan basically. Once your pre-registration has been moderated and accepted and the data is available, we will email you a view-only link to the data. Please share this with your colleagues that you've listed on the pre-registration but please do not share the link with other researchers. If you know of other researchers who would like to access the data, please get them to do a pre-registration and we will be happy to provide them with that data. So as I said previously, there's lots of help available. Please do reach out to us. We're here to really help you succeed and get this data. So look at the resources on the GFS web pages. There's some examples on the bottom of this slide. There's a guide to pre-registration. There's a pre-registration template. If you want to plan out your study on a Google Doc first and before you put it into the registry, there'll be a code book available. There's lots of FAQs. And we also have six asynchronous self-training modules available. Also a couple of webinars. So please do look at those as well. If you have any other questions, feel free to email us at globalflourishingatcos.io. We're here definitely, certainly to help you. Okay, I'm going to pass over to Zach now from Gallup to discuss the survey and data collection. Great, thank you, Leslie. And pleasure to have so many people on the call and super exciting to get this data set out in the world and have analysis shortly. So we're really excited about that. Could we go back to the last slide, Leslie? Here we go. So I'm just going to present what we did in the last three years to collect this data. And actually the formation of this project preceded even the last three years. It was about five or six years ago that the core team started to float this idea to run this longitudinal study. So the questionnaire development was a big lift that occurred over a two year period. And it involved an inclusive process and we really took the challenges of 3MC, cross-cultural, regional, national, survey research seriously when we were developing this questionnaire. So the first stage of the questionnaire development was the core item selection. So these were identifying existing sets of validated items on well-being, religion and spirituality and demographic information. These are more the key unique aspects of the global flourishing study, kind of the dependent variables in some respects, but not necessarily. From that core selection process, researchers were contacted, a set of experts including those from literature disciplines and solicited item recommendations for determinants of human flourishing across social, political, psychological and economic dimensions. Upon that feedback from those domain experts, there was a global input on the core items as well. That occurred after the instrument, an initial draft was created. So there was a solicitation of a certain set of scholars around the world including high income countries but also lower income countries, China, Brazil, South Africa for instance, researchers in those countries on the initials complete survey draft. And upon feedback from those experts, there was a discussion, the instrument was refined, some items were dropped, some items are added and then there was a cross-cultural and translation input stage. And this is where the 3MC aspect, again cross-cultural, cross-regional, cross-national survey research was discussed in earnest at first. And so there were experts in translation and cross-cultural validity. And during those conversations, the topics covered included suitability of the survey items in a global context, making sure they are applicable to all countries and cultures, regions, overcoming common translation challenges and how we would approach that topic and evaluating input from the scholars around the world. Once that stage concluded, there was an open survey feedback stage, a new draft of the survey was put out for open solicitation via online channels on the updated draft questionnaire. So this is again trying to make the process as inclusive as possible. After a period of time, I think a few months, over 150 experts and scholars responded to the request and that resulted in adjustments of 26 items. Once that stage concluded, there was the questionnaire optimization stage. This is where Gallup got involved quite a lot and Gallup survey design specialists suggested items to trim and refine item wording, response scales, and there was discussions around those sorts of topics. The goal for Gallup was to create a concise instrument where every item served a purpose. And the reason for that was excessively long surveys, effect recruitment retention, and the type of respondent likely to complete the survey. Again, we wanted to have this be reflective of entire country's population. And long surveys, especially conducted over the telephone, would prevent that goal. And so that is why it's not hundreds and hundreds of questions. There had to be a very strong core instrument that we were fielding. Upon that conclusion of that stage, we then translated the surveys to do questionnaire testing and refinement. That translation stage includes kind of a modified trap. Again, this is best practices for 3MC research approach. That includes translating the instrument. One translator translates the instrument. A different translator reviews the translation. Any differences are then adjudicated by another translator. And then that survey is piloted. Any issues that arise during piloting are then addressed. And then the translation, final translations are documented for researchers' purposes. We'll get to deliverables in a couple of slides, but one of those deliverables will be the translations of the survey items in all the different languages. There are 34 languages across 22 countries that we fielded. Next slide, Leslie, please. Sorry, Jack, I'm having a bit of trouble with my... No worries. I'm glad. I have more, I'm sure. Okay. So questionnaire testing and refinement. So this was the stage after the questionnaire development. Very critical. It took this very seriously over a six-month period where we rolled out cognitive interviews, 230 in 22 countries. So approximately 10 in each country, and then 20 in India, given the diversity of that country in the size of the population. The goal of cognitive interviews is to ensure individual survey items and final questionnaires... The final questionnaire elicit the desired information while minimizing respondent burden. So what we assessed was responding comprehension of the items, item relevance, and ability of the respondents to answer the survey questions. So issues like response scale didn't make sense. Once we did the cognitive interviews, we took the feedback, made some adjustments, and then we rolled out a pretest. The goal of a pretest, and this was done in over a thousand surveys were completed in 22 countries. And this is a multi-mode endeavor, which we can get into later, where there's going to be some respondents who take the survey via the web, some who take the survey via telephone. This is the main instrument, the annual survey. And that depends on that person's access to technology. So we don't want to only include people who can take the survey via web, especially in lower-income countries, for instance, Tanzania or India, where that would exclude a large portion of the population. So we conducted these pretests, and the goal of the pretest was to identify areas where logistical and practical challenges might arise, and also to provide information the average length of interviews. So again, we're aiming for a telephone interview around 20 to 25 minutes. Going beyond that, you risk a lot of break-off, and more respondents will hesitate to participate in the survey. So we knew we were around that, but it was a little bit over from the pretests. So the refinement and finalization stage then took all the feedback from the cognitive interviews and the pretest, updated the questionnaire when needed, and also identified a certain number of items that we had to cut. So again, there were these painful cuts at each stage, but that was ultimately to be able to improve our ability and retention and recruitment down the road. And then the final note here, before we get to the fieldwork slide, is that there's a large pre-fieldwork effort. We had to adapt the questionnaire to various modes of administration based on the sampling approach and the responsibility to use the internet to complete the online survey. So for most countries, there was a probability sampling approach that was adopted, and we completed an intake survey, a recruitment survey via face-to-face or telephone. And then when the respondent completed that survey, we then followed up with a annual survey. That's the baseline survey. That's the survey that will be repeated over time for the next five years. And that survey was fielded either via web, so they got an invitation via email, SMS, or WhatsApp depending on what information they provided and or we called them back via telephone and completed it if they didn't have online access. And so part of that pre-fieldwork was to adapt the survey so it made sense for the mode, try to reduce the differences between the modes as much as possible. And then there was the survey programming part of this. We had to program this over a disparate set of survey operation platforms because of the multi-mode approach. During that stage, each of the surveys for each mode, for each language, for each country was presentation checked. So we would go through the survey, review it, make sure everything appeared as it should. And then we did dummy data checking to make sure that the skip logic and everything operated as intended. And then finally, there was a small incentive that was included to encourage participation in the annual survey. And we had to do a lot of testing around that incentive administration. The incentive was administered either via gift card or mobile top-up, again, depending on person's access to an email address. And then finally, we were testing automation of the invitations for the annual web survey. And again, we sent that via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. If someone provided all three avenues, we sent it to all three avenues to increase our chances of participation in the survey. OK. Next slide, listen. So on the field work side, this table, this gives an overview. I forgot to mention on the questionnaire development, we do have a deliverable, the questionnaire development report that has been out for the last two years that will be reissued with some minor updates when the data is released on February 13th. And this table, there will be a methodology document and this is a small portion of what will be covered on the methodology document as a chart providing information about what we did in each country. But as you'll see, a lot of the countries had probability-based sampling. A few countries were supplemented from the probability-based sampling with existing online panels. And we will recontact those same panelists year after year. So that's why you see a non-probability portion for some countries. And then for two countries, it was a non-probability sample. High-quality online panels and we could talk about that more that is expounded upon in the methodology document as well. But those were the sampling designs and then these are the modes that we fielded in each of the countries. You'll see some variations. In Germany, we only fielded via phone and then web for the annual because it was a high-income country with very high internet penetration so we had less concerns about systematic exclusion of respondents in Germany compared to other countries that were high middle income or lower where that was an acute concern. And then this is the total number of completes that we have in each country. So the biggest upshot here is that we have over 200,000 participants from 21 countries in one territory and that data will be available soon. There's a caveat that we will be fielding in China soon, shortly, this month or in February for wave one. There were some delays. The approval process was drawn out for a very long time but we had the fortunate good luck news to get approval in January and so we are pushing hard to collect that data. However, that data will not be made available until wave two data for all countries is issued early Q1 next year. And when that data is issued and put out, there will be wave one and wave two data for China. So we'll collect data at this stage and then we'll collect data in about 10 months time. So not quite a year, but close to a year and then that way all countries will be made available for data release and wave two. Next slide, Liz. And this is the final note about data collection steps. This is a summary of how the process will work. As you will see, there were some of those countries that nonprobability sampling approach and then there are some countries that probability sampling approach. There's one exception here, Gallup panel is a probability based online panel. So it's a probability approach but it went down this path because we didn't do an intake, we just combined the intake and annual survey for existing online panels. So the probability based one would use fresh sample, recruit, do the intake survey, then the annual survey and then nonprobability would go through do a combined intake and annual survey. Everyone who completed it is that pool of over 200,000 respondents from wave one. Then we have a mid-year survey, a retention activity to remind participants that they are part of the study to update in contact information if any has changed to increase our ability to contact them in the future and as well to field a few additional questions that could have an analytical purpose down the road. So the mid-year survey is ongoing. We fielded in some countries already that were a bit earlier in the fielding process for the recruitment of wave one and panel respondents and we will be fielding the rest of the countries very shortly for the mid-year survey. Annual survey will then occur and the annual survey is just started in the U.S. because we had recruited that over a year ago and for other countries it will be occurring between mostly April to June this year. So we'll collect the data, we'll process it, data, clean it, and then have it ready for early Q1 next year, wave two data set on the COS website. And then we just basically repeat this process back and forth through years two through five and that's the basic approach of how we designed it and these are the year one deliverables. It would be aggregated data set with country whites, code book of the variables in the data set, a translation document that provides translations across all 34 languages in the 22 countries for all items fielded. It's an Excel document and a questionnaire development report which again outlines all the steps that we took to be inclusive and take 3MC research as seriously as possible. And then, yeah, I guess I covered the future data collection efforts already and I think that's all from me. Thanks very much, Zach. That was really very helpful. So I'm going to pass it over to Theresa now just to talk about accessing the data. Yes, thank you. I am going to give a summary of who will receive access to the data and when, what the release of the data will include and where those materials can be found just to summarize a bunch of the material or the information that's come up so far and perhaps provide a little bit of clarification on some other points. So the wave one data will be available to contributors to projects pre-registered on the Global Flourishing Study Registry in the coming weeks. So February 2024. This data will become available to anyone regardless of whether or not a pre-registration was completed one year from the initial release date. So I did see a question come up in the Q&A. We are hoping to provide an incentive for people to do pre-registrations for their studies. So those researchers who do that will get early access to the data but the data will become available to anyone in the future and that will be the trend for the other waves of data as well where pre-registered studies will get the earlier access and then one year from release it will become available to the public. Next slide please Leslie. So wave one of the data will include data from the intake survey and the first annual survey. It's planning to be available in at least CSV, DTA and SAV formats to provide a variety of formats for users and these can be downloaded as a single data set or by country. There's also going to be associated documentation for the data sets available to anyone regardless of whether or not there's a pre-registration for the study and this will include a code book for variable and value labels. The methodology report that Zach was discussing which includes details about how the data is collected as well as the questionnaire development report which contains that documentation about the survey questions. Not on the slide here but also included will be that translation document again that Zach mentioned which covers the various translations of the questions to the different languages that the survey was given in. Next slide please. The data is going to be available on a private component of the GFS project on the OSF. You can access the public facing portion of this project using that QR code there. But this is available on the OSF and a view only link will be sent out by email to those who have pre-registered a project so that they can access that those private components that contain the data sets that they have pre-registered for. Again, one year out so February 2025 that component will become publicly available. Other supplemental materials that I mentioned that are available publicly will also be able to be accessed through this project or through the Global Flourishing Study website. And that wraps up my portion. Thank you, Leslie. Thanks very much, Teresa. That's great. So I'm just going to... I've just got a couple of slides here. If you're interested in participating in some research that we're doing under a National Science Foundation grant, it's a randomized control trial. And so we're trying to expand the knowledge base on the efforts of registered reports and pre-registration through this Global Flourishing Study. The study will measure effects such as the impact of registered reports on timelines from conception to publication, publication outcomes, in other words, which studies are ultimately published or rejected, and researchers' beliefs and experiences with registered reports and pre-registration. So the study has four arms. Participants can agree to be randomly assigned to a GFS data access pathway, i.e. pre-registration or registered reports and be surveyed on their experience. Or you can opt in to be surveyed on your experience with either mechanism after you've completed the GFS registered report or pre-registration submission. Anyone can enroll to be randomly assigned a pathway prior to uploading a submission to the registry. And the main outcomes will be comparing the two randomized participant arms while the self-selected participants will help us better understand the selection process. So pre-registration and registered reports could be potentially transformative on how research is conducted. And so great examples of folk that we're hoping will enroll in this study are those who want early access to the Global Flourishing Data Set but are undecided on whether to do a pre-registration or a registered report. Or if you want to try out a registered report but you aren't quite sure where to start. Or if you're willing to be part of the growing evidence collection on pre-commitment devices like registered reports and pre-registration. You can see there's an enrollment URL down there. I will send out these slides with the recording in the next week or so. But you can also find details of this trial on the Global Flourishing website as well. Okay. So I'm going to stop sharing and we can dive into some Q&A with our panelists here. So let's have a look. So from Taylor, we have, do pre-registrations need to have a longitudinal component when using Wave 1 data, i.e. synthetic longitudinal design? Or are we allowed to do truly cross-sectional analysis on the Wave 1 data? So the answer to that is you have an option. You can either use a synthetic longitudinal design with another data set or you can use the childhood predictors which are variables within the Wave 1 data, but you do need to choose one or other. So I hope that answers that question. From Yasmin, lots of it, hang on a minute, I'm just trying to summarize this one quickly. Just worried about duplicating works. It's not all researchers are publishing what they hope to inquire. It's a secret coordination process, i.e. might there be neutral person who can also check private registrations to flag significant overlap of specific studies. I think that the answer to that is on the OSF, there is, researchers are able to make their research public immediately or they can put an embargo on it. That is a standard process on the OSF and we obviously have to respect researchers' preferences on when they want to release their pre-registrations. So I don't think that we could probably have a secret coordination since we're moderating the process, but we're not the subject matter experts, we're not looking at exactly what these studies are doing. So unfortunately, I think what we're really hoping to do with this project, since it is a long, longitudinal study, is to grow a community of practice where we can get researchers working together for the great good of the subject matter, but I don't think that we can start looking at private registration to flag overlaps, unfortunately. So I'm sorry about that. David, did I get it right that one necessary need to submit some form of pre-registration to get the data? If so, I don't understand what's the reason for this policy? Why don't you simply? So David, the idea of requiring pre-registration is to make sure that we provide those open science practices where we're trying to stop folks from just p-hacking the data until they find things that are significant.  That doesn't preclude you from doing additional exploratory research, but it really helps to divide what you did or what you were going to do, what your hypotheses were before you saw the data, and then what your hypotheses were and exploratory analysis after you've seen the data. So that's the idea is to try and make this a rigorous research process and really help improve reproducibility of the work. Irene, if I don't manage to get a pre-registration in the registry by February, but only in March, do I get immediate access or do I have to? Yes, that's a really good point, Irene. No, as soon as you get your pre-registration in, we will send you the data files if it's after the data has been released. You can put in your pre-registration at any time, and once that pre-registration is moderated you'll receive the files. Yasmin, pre-registration is still possible out of February and access would then be activated once the registry. Yes, that's absolutely correct. Yes. And Luther, will individuals with pre-registrations have access to all the GFS data or will items be made available that were specifically detailed in the pre-registration? So when you do your pre-registration you will be asked if you want the whole global data for every country. If you're working specifically on, you know, choosing specific countries you can choose it by country, but if you want access to all of the data just click the global dataset and we will send it all to you. And Max, can you clarify again about the main disadvantage of submitting the proposal shortly after WAV1 data becoming available? I don't think there is a disadvantage in submitting the proposal shortly after WAV1 data becomes available. You know, once you've decided on your research questions, methodologies, analysis plan then submit your pre-registration and as soon as the WAV1 data is available we will send it to you. So Shade, did I understand correctly that there would not be any list of topics other researchers are looking at or have under review in a journal, so over that might happen. That's correct. If you go to our website and click on the registry you'll be able to see those pre-registrations that researchers have made public already. There are already a few in there and we're hoping that as this process unwinds there will be more and more other public pre-registrations that you can have a look at to see what other people are doing. But also understanding that there are some researchers who've opted to embargo their pre-registration so you won't be able to see what they're doing. Okay. Mukesh, usually how much time does it take to review a pre-registration request? That's a great question. So the workflow is that you submit your pre-registration if you're submitting it with other colleagues, other collaborators they will have a 72-hour window to review that pre-registration and ask you to make edits etc. Once that 72-hour period has gone by it will be received in moderation with the registry and depending on the volume we will get to that within a couple of business days and send you out the data. Do we have any questions for Teresa and Zach about the data itself? Any other questions? And if something occurs to you then please do follow up with me and I'll either try and help or I can field the question to Teresa and Zach or Alex. It does look like we have one more question. Is the Google spreadsheet the main way to learn about the data and variables? No, that is an older for the sample data. There is currently, or there is going to be a code book that will be released around the same time that the data becomes available to those who have pre-registered. I don't have an exact date on that yet, but that will be available to learn about what data is in the data sets what the value labels are etc. So that will be a more stable and reliable way than the existing Google spreadsheet. Thanks, Teresa. I said I answered but I didn't answer it. Is it in all 28 states in India? I am guessing it probably is. I don't know off the top of my head. We did about 28,000 we recruited 28,000 respondents from across India just stratifying by region, by state and then down below it was all face-to-face recruitment in India. Unless if we had an exclusion which would be put in the methodology document we should have covered all 28 states. There is a question from Charlotte here. Is the full question protocol available for us to view at this time? My response to that would be that we do have the questionnaire development report on the website. Zach, do you want to add anything else to that question? No, I think that the QDR covers a lot of those issues. And also the code book has all the questions listed as well. Is that right, Teresa? At the moment we have a code book on our website which will be updated. It's the code book that we released for the sample data set. Teresa, would you like to attempt Emma's question about the code book and the region variables or Zach, maybe that's one for you as well. Sure. I'm not sure what's not clear about them. How are they broken down? Okay, those are usually administrative units. So it just depends. We can't get down to very, very tiny administrative units sometimes like NUS-3 because it did adaptive disclosure concerns. But they are mainly like in Europe at least NUS-1, NUS-2, like states in the U.S. So the U.S. you probably see about 50 states and maybe some territories. So that's how it's created and in the data set you'll see just one region variable or there might be two or three. There's actually three region variables, region one, region two, region three. Region one's the lowest level administrative unit and then going up to higher levels from there, we put it collapsed into one region variable because that's cleaner, not 22 different countries with 22 different regions. So it's a very long list and then you guys can break it out from there if you desire by country. That's great. Thank you. So Marietta asks, so what do we use for pre-registration? I've just put in the chat the link to the GFS website. If you go there you're going to find a lot of information about the template and how to pre-register the two previous webinars lots and lots of information on there which I think will help you Marietta and if you still have some questions then please do feel free to email me. I will also put the email address in the chat. Yes and if this is a follow up about the Google spreadsheet and the data and variables that should be adequate to complete a pre-registration just note that it's not the official code book for the final data set but it should have a lot of the information that'll help you complete a pre-registration just be on the lookout for the official one which is forthcoming. Sorry I was busy typing so Teresa you just answered the question from Michelle about the child address. No that was a follow up about the... Okay right is there a clear flag about which variables that is they are? My guess would be any question it has when you're 12 years old I think that covers it but just look for retrospective wording I don't think there's a flag right now in any of the documentation that is out there but that would be my best guess for flagging those on your side. Okay great all right we've got five minutes left but if there are no more questions we'll give you five minutes back oh there we are there's another one there. Is there a file of survey items in a logical order rather than a code book that has the item in alphabetical order? We're debating the code book right now about how to present it and one of those is whether we put it into alphabetical orders. We don't know yet how to answer your question but yeah maybe that's a reason to put it in alphabetical order so I'll add that to the ledger of alphabetical order argument. One more thing there the data will be made available in DTA and SPSS so data in SPSS all variables will have the variable label all response options will have response labels you can create a quick code book very easily in those programs. Understood that those are proprietary software not the same as CSV but that is the other option that would be possible you can just alphabetically order it in the data set and then output this code book in Stata and then you would output the code book in Stata. All right well thank you very much for joining us as I've already said we're here to help so any questions please do reach out contact us look at the website and I want to say big thank you to Alex and Zach and Teresa for all the knowledge that you're bringing to this study it's really impressive and I think it's a really important data set and also a big thanks to Amanda who's on our communications team who is such a wizard keeping us all going on zoom so appreciate her help as well so thank you very much to you all and good luck with your research


Cool. Nagushka. I got to watch the original FMA one time. FMA, FMA, FMA, FMA.  Full Metal Alchemist. I got to watch the original Full Metal Alchemist one time. Only ever seen Brotherhood. Do you have a favorite character? Alphons and Ed. They're all amazing. They're all amazing. Really. And Full Metal Alchemist original. You got to watch it. Brotherhood is darker. Nagushka, Brotherhood is darker. There's no doubt about it. And by the way, Brotherhood? You've seen Brotherhood. I'm going to give you a little spoiler for Full Metal Alchemist. The first 12 episodes of Brotherhood are the retelling of Full Metal Alchemist in the 51 episodes. Full Metal Alchemist is 51 and Brotherhood is 62, I believe. So Brotherhood, the first dozen episodes is really the retelling of Full Metal Alchemist but not in as much detail. Introduces a couple of new characters that are a little bit darker. But Full Metal Alchemist original is very good as well. It's phenomenal. Vivilvin. Also, if you haven't seen it, Mushishi is an incredible... Oh, I've got to queue it up to watch. Mushishi is those creatures that appear. I watched one or two episodes, I believe. But I've got to queue it up to watch. Once I watch a couple of episodes to see what kind of mood it's like, and then when I'm in that mood, I watch it. Joe Chisholm, do you ever listen to audiobooks? I have in the past for sure. I recently found a YouTube channel that has a big collection of Golden Age sci-fi audiobooks and I've been making my way through some of the short stories. Awesome, awesome. I've listened to... I don't know how many audiobooks. There was a period in the early 2000s I went through maybe a dozen audiobooks. They were very good. Siddhartha, I listened through an audiobook. Siddhartha. And not the teaching... Teachings of Don Juan I read, but the second book in Teachings of Don Juan. I forget what it's called. That one too, I listened through an audiobook. I can't remember what else. Maybe it was less than a dozen. It would have been less than a dozen. Elder God.  But the reaction of the other leaders after was priceless. Oh, I haven't seen that one. I haven't seen it. Love Shorn. The original Full Metal Alchemist gets wild at times with his anime-only episodes. Ending could be better. Still, super comfy. Introduction to the series. To Nagushka Yaya. Amazing Full Metal Alchemist. I still have... There's still some minor four-episode, two-episode stories I haven't watched yet. Which we will be after Full Metal Alchemist. We're going to go through the whole thing. Joe Ciccio. I recently listened to Colony. Oh, Colony by Philip K. Dick. Really, really nice. I listened to a couple of Philip K. Dick stories as well. Way back when. Philip K. Dick is amazing. It's amazing. Especially short stories. Or is it... I'm thinking about... I'm thinking about Philip K. Dick, I think. Plutonic Monarchs. There's a great episode of X-Files. Curiously and paradoxically, there's an anti-critical and anti-conspiracy theory and a narrative in X-Files. I guess it was Chris Carter who brought it in. Really. All in God. Trudeau looked at Biden like he was an unwanted visitor.  Right? I'm really here. I need more anime to watch. A fully up-to-date on AOT. I don't know what AOT stands for. Jujutsu Kain. Demon Slayer is awesome. My Hero Academia, we finished. Food Wars, if you haven't seen.  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen Birdie here? Have you seen Food Wars? We finished Food Wars. Food Wars is amazing. It's not hentai, but one level lower than hentai. So good, so good. All in God. Philip K. Dick's books turned into movies. That's so awesome. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I've not seen that. We'll check it out. Okay, Food Wars is super fun. Food Wars is like my Hero Academia. And what about the One Punch Man? Have you seen One Punch Man? And the other one I'm waiting for, it's being released one at a time, and I stopped watching because I want to do a marathon. What was it? Oh, I forget the name. I forget the name. And another one is Mob Psycho. Mob Psycho is really good. Mob Psycho 100 is really good. And One Punch Man, if you haven't seen, watch One Punch Man. So good. Lushborn. Nagushka says, seems like you're into the very mainstream stuff. Just go on YouTube and check out the top 50 anime. It's nice. Good recommendation. Good suggestion anyway. Love Shorn. Just listen to the audiobook for I of the World. Book one of the Wheel of Time. An amazing series. Oh, maybe I should start listening to fantasy a little bit. I've never done fantasy audiobooks. I don't think I've ever done. No, no, I've done Philip K. Dick audiobook. So short stories anyway. Joe Chicho. I highly recommend the comedy series called Silicon Valley. Anime? Joe? Or is it like, you know what, Silicon Valley is so evil, I can't even watch this comedy version of it. Right? I can't do it. It's like I can't watch comedy version of American politics. I'm gonna take one more puff of this after I eat a radish. White radish. Birdie here. One punch man is amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great. Oh, birdie here. Birdie here to Nagushka. Yeah, man. I'm new to anime. Only been watching about one to two years. Oh, birdie here. Write these down. Cowboy Beep Up. Got it? Cowboy Beep Up. Samurai Jack. Some people don't consider anime. For me, this animation is good. Samurai Jack. Samurai Champloo. Samurai Champloo. Space Dandy. Cowboy Beep Up. Samurai Champloo. And Space Dandy. Made by the same group. Okay, the core group anyway. Watch all three of those. Absolutely amazing. When you eat food before, when you're doing a repump, it cleans the pallets. Right? Oh, radish with peanut butter. Vivilvin Radish with peanut butter is my to-go snack. I've never tried. I've never tried. Joe Chichou. No, it's an American show. It's about a group of coders who launch a startup and have to battle their way through Silicon Valley. You'll probably, wow. You'll probably enjoy it more if you don't like the real Silicon Valley. Okay. I'll keep it in mind. Elder God. Elder God. Don't take a puff too early after eating something. Elder God says, regarding Philip K. Dick, total recall, minority report, a scanner darkly, blade runner, and my favorite, adjustment bureau. Adjustment bureau was awesome too. Your favorite is adjustment bureau, eh? Blade runner was my favorite. Lark bar. Catboy B-pop is brilliant. I've looked at it. I've watched it like four or five times. Gaming goods and baccano. Baccano. I don't know baccano. Ice. How are you doing? Ah, Chichou. Birdie here. Got it. Will do. Thanks. Oh, Birdie here. You're in for a treat. Oh, my God. I wish I could watch Samurai Champloo. Catboy B-pop. Space Dandy. And Samurai Jack for the first time. Oh, Samurai X. So good. Samurai X, so good. I think there's four issue or six issue mini that came up and then Samurai X, so good. Demon Slayer, so good. Ice. Champloo, Dandy and B-pop all represent different types of music genres. Yeah. So good. So good. Dark City, so good. Nagushka. All great films. All great films. Another one I like. That Fista theme is Dark City. Dark City is so good. So good. So good. Anything Studio Ghibli? Yes, so good. So good. Akira. Yes, yes. Yo-yo. Hakusho. I haven't watched that yet. Are my recommended Birdie. To Birdie. Nice, nice. Whoa. Great anime is being listed. Whiskey Cup. No, that was a... What do you call it? Radish. I chewed the radish and then took a puff of the cigar. Don't do that. Yeah, I love it. What do you call it? Lark Barstas. I love Blade Runner. That film is so gracefully, so gracefully. Oh my God. I have never watched Blade Runner. You've never watched Blade Runner? I wish I could watch Blade Runner for the first time. Watch the original. Don't watch the director's cup. Unlike the original with the narration. Okay. Akira is epic. Epic. Oh my God. I watched Guardians of the Galaxy last night. Nice. You said it was really good, eh? Did you find a good version? For the very first time. For the very first time. Nagushka to Birdie here. It's old and unpopular, but Excel Saga is one of the best. Thank you very much for the follow. Dale Gribblev TV. Gribble TV. Dale Gribble TV. Nagushka to Birdie here. It's old and unpopular, but Excel Saga is one of the best and funniest anime ever, in my opinion. Put it near the top of your list, if you like. It's probably best seen after watching many popular shows first. Really? I don't know that one, Nagushka. This is a phenomenal cigar. Joe Chicho. I started to watch an anime called Psycho Pass. Nice. I only watched the first two episodes, but it was pretty interesting. Yeah. I think I've seen Psycho Pass. Ring the bell, anyway. Ring the bell, anyway. Oh my God. Unfortunately, I had to endure a Commodore version from the cinema audio. I can't do it, brother. I've got to wait for a better copy. Hilarious. Your hardcore or watching with German audio. You speak German, so it'll be fine. But no, I'm going to wait until the better copy, brother. Larkbart. Oh my God. It's a much-to-watch Blade Runner. One of the most influential films of all time. Indeed, indeed. Definitely. Joe Chicho. It's set in the future where they can span people's minds and detect mental illness and force them into treatment. Oh, I don't know this. Psycho Pass. Maybe I cued it up, but I didn't watch it yet. And another one is Plutonifer Klingon. Another one is, oh man, what's it called? It was so good. They start off in a mountain in underground. And it's about tech a little bit, drilling and stuff like this.  Oh, what is it called? And then at the, I'm going to give spoilers. It starts off micro, inside a mountain in caves. And then they go out with machines. Gulen Lagann. Thank you very much. Love Shorn. Gulen Lagann.  It blew me away. I was surprised how good it was. I really, I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Lush Morn. Love Shorn.  Gulen Lagann. So good. So good. So good. So good. So good. So good. Sounds like Gulen Lagann. Yeah, N'Gushka, you know it too. Awesome. Gulen Lagann fans. So good. So good. Brady here. I get all my anime through Chichirol, but it doesn't have everything on it. Missing a few death notes. So good. So good. Which I want to watch. Death note is really good. It's long. It's long. Death note is really good though. I've watched it. Finished the whole series. So good. CheeseDude76. First time chat. Hey yo, just hopped into the stream. Hope everyone's well. If we're listening favorite anime, my absolute favorite that I've seen so far has been Parasite. Parasite. So good. So good. So good. So good. But Parasite is not done yet, is it? Is it done? I can't remember. I've seen Parasite. Did I finish it? I don't think it's done, is it? Parasite is very good. Very good. Very good. CheeseDude, my boyfriend. Groove. Thank you very much for the follow. CheeseDude76, my boyfriend made me watch Gulen Lagann with him. And I loved it. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Nagushka, I love the opening song from Gulen Lagann. I can't remember the opening song. I watched it a while ago. I gotta loop that again. Maybe I'll get my partner to watch it with me. I've been introducing my partner to anime. I introduced my partner to the anime world. She's an anime fan. She became an anime fan. Clark Park. The film Minority Report is another treasure. And about the Thought Police, just look at the woke and counseled culture of Minority Report. Yeah, yeah. Got G3 finally introduced. Adam Warlock. Did they finally introduce?  But awesome. I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it. CheeseDude, I've seen all 24 episodes of Parasite. It seems to have finished, but maybe there's a continuation I hadn't heard of. I think I've watched all 24. I don't want to give any spoilers. I can't remember what happened at the end. Yeah, I can't remember. But Parasite, okay, I've seen it all then. I've seen it all. Gang, cigar, done, done. Okay, one more puff. Let's do it. This is a sweet cigar. We're going to take it one more puff. And then we're going to call it a stream gang. How are we doing for time? Yeah, we cheat over, over time. Let's see if we can light this without burning our fingers. It takes concentration. Nice. Look at this. So good. Gang, with that. Let's call the stream. Thank you very much for being here, everyone. I hope you enjoyed the stream. I love that. Thank you for spending the time with us in the afternoon on our patio garden. Fantastic. Thank you for all the anime recommendations. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Gang, if you want to know what this work is about, we are on Patreon. We're on Substack. We're on Subscribestar. You can follow the link there. For those of you that are supporting this work on Patreon, on Substack, and on Twitch, where we're live streaming gang, thank you very much for the support.

And I'll see you guys next weekend for sure. Okay? Bye, everyone.


We have been good. It's great to be back here once again. And I can also see you multitasking between getting to know what's happening in football, which is your sporting discipline and even in Tokyo Olympics. Supporting our own. Supporting our own. It's good to be patriotic. So what happened to Lionel Messi when it was quite unexpected getting to the news that you know Barcelona is announcing departure of Lionel Messi on mutual consent. Can it be financially instigated? Ya that might be the case because of everything they are talking about Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona because of finances in that considering the pandemic the club cannot get the wages that they can go ahead and pay Lionel Messi. But I think also it was a wake up call for Barcelona because they also knew that at one point in time Lionel Messi will be out of Barcelona and people have got to come to terms with that and fans of Barcelona will also have to understand that great players come and go and they will never be in your club of forever. At one point in time they will have to live. Wao, of course Timotier Ruit getting confirmed the bad silver medal in 1500 meters that was won by Jacob Inge and him giving me a chance to pronounce but I think it's from Norway he bagged that gold medal in 1500 meters anyway as long as it's a medal it's good for us right? Yes. So which means the chances of us getting to our performance in Rio in Brazil during 2016 where he bagged five gold medals are getting slim because we expected a gold in 1500 meters so that we can win another gold in marathon tonight to get there. Our chances are very scanty right? Yes they are very scanty because I think it's only one race remain it's on Elid's shoulders to try and bag a gold it will be in the marathon tomorrow very early in the morning let's hope he bags another gold so that Kenya at least can still finish top of Africa on the medal standings. I think it's a wake up call now that I think the Dennis and Mugewa talking about it earlier it's all about also how we are positioning ourselves for the next Olympics championship because you look at the other Jamaica you saw the 100 meters lady the one who started in the 100 meters was actually a 22-year-old and that one is going that shows that they have already a plan for the future of their sprint steam now for us we'll also have to get to know that Eleanor Berry's time had got to come at a certain point in time and you look at even before this year coming around she had performed in other events before coming on to the Olympics and you also look at Elid Kipchok even if he had not run so much he has also performed in the marathon and as he is going to the Olympics I think there was one where we were expecting I think it was London where we expected him to defend it he did not defend it so it is high time we also start seeing some other faces coming on to these championships definitely let's discuss about international football and Jack Grillich joining Manchester City from Aston Villa good for him he deserves being at the top level playing Champions League football yeah yeah he totally deserves based on his performances for City in the Premier League the past two seasons he's been their key man he's been getting his goals and assists and him moving to City it should be scary for the Chasers the other part Chelsea, United and Arsenal because you look at the array of attacking options that Pep has right now you got KDB, Mares then you had Grillich another creative mind into that three it's really scary especially for United who will be looking to finish fast this season yeah I was telling someone that even Manchester City has to speak right now they are contenders for UEFA Champions League title look at their attacking department the way he has put it and the players they are targeting to sign this particular season I think they are aiming for lucrative acolyte you realise now that these clubs are not joking anymore they are going for the best of the best and Jack Grillich they have picked out a player who brought Aston Villa from the second division to come on to the Premier League he has proved himself to be a pivotal part of the Aston Villa campaign in the Premier League and Pep Gudiola if you saw last season he was a master of rotation and he understands that if he brings Jack Grillich in he is adding another dimension on to his team and also you realise a player like a playmaker Kevin De Bruyne will not be starting the season because he is injured this kid Fili Forden was very pivotal for City he is not going to be starting so Grillich adds another flavour to that team definitely and Aston Villa the team that he has left has also been busy they have signed three players so far and three players who had great careers especially you look at Danny Ings who since he left Liverpool he has been one of the top strikers in the league for Southampton especially he has been getting goals and also they managed to get a deal which many thought would not happen Emiliano Buendia many thought he would go to Arsenal but at the last minute he chose Aston Villa maybe because he saw the dream that the manager the thing that the manager was trying to build and late in the week before Grillich was announced they announced Leon Baili from Leverkusen another proper attacking player for Leverkusen and also for Jamaica we saw his performances during the gold cup he is a young player and I think Dinsmit will make good of him every player seems like every player is associated with Arsenal even Lionel Messi Aruma going round I don't know whether it's legitimate even Arsenal fans tweeting Messi's running box that come to Arsenal and Messi saying no I think it's if you look at Messi is 34 years old at the moment he has won everything that he is eating in football at the moment except international title it is now that last lap on how you are going to finish your career and he himself has said some time in my life you play outside Spain and the money bags are the guys who are going to get Lionel Messi remember his father who does all the contract negotiations for Lionel Messi goes for the jugular how much money you got on the table and people can bring that money is either Paris and German or Manchester City or Manchester City or Abramovich so those are the likely guys who can go for Lionel Messi so we are waiting to see where Lionel Messi will be joining from Barcelona after announcing departure from a team that he has served for the last 21 years to some extent it was being said that Lionel Messi was sort of an overshadow to any forward was getting signed by the team from Zlatan Ibrahimovic Samuel Ato Teeri Onri lot of players who got to I think it was because all these managers built their teams around Lionel Messi that's why every player who had to come to Barcelona he had to play around Lionel Messi and I think that was from I think 2006 2007 also when Gudyola took over that team because when the golden generation of Ato Ronaldinho was leaving and now Messi was coming on and when Gudyola made invisible team of Barcelona that one to back to back Champions League now everyone had to model their team around Lionel Messi now for him leaving Barcelona he's going to bring another dimension how is this team going to play without Lionel Messi now we are going to see that 4-5 matches we have never seen that before let's go to speak about what is happening at Tottenham hurricane delay to link up with the rest of teams who are currently training the new coach who got signed from Mool Vampton Wanderas Nuno said that he will have to speak to the forward on the way forward I don't know is also Ken joining City I don't think he will join City I saw he put a statement last night on his social media platform saying the talk out there was not right and he will link up with the Tottenham team today but many wouldn't believe that because you know hurricane is desires to win a trophy he just looks at guys like Luca Modric Bale and even Kyle Walker those who have left that same team and they've gone on to win countless trophies and up their game become better players and he'll be thinking for himself that's a lot but with Nuno coming in he brings a different style to Tottenham I think Nuno is a great coach and I think Hari should stay and they might do something that in the Europa conference league they can start by winning that because it's just a small competition and maybe they can build from there with Ken because he'll always be there Hari staying means he will win which title because English premium keeps out of the house Okay you never know but there was an article that was done at the BBC that said if Jack Grilesh had stayed in Vila he was going to be immortal but if he goes to now that he has gone to Manchester City he will definitely win silverware it is equivalent to Hari Ken if he sticks with Tottenham he'll be immortal to Tottenham fans and the English players but he will never win silverware because I think it's 28-29 if he moved to Manchester City and they are still talking about 150-160 if he goes to Manchester City then he will have a personal peace of now dominating Europe dominating the Premier League and Hari Ken will finally have silverware Ramele Lukaku it seems like he wants to unite with Chelsea football club Chelsea have just won UEFA Champions League title they seem to be so much busy as if it's a team that has done puwati which means they want to maintain the same momentum of doing better performing better not only in England The If you are Chelsea and you also want to go to the title, you finish third, you have to up your game and look in a team of earners performances last season as the main man. He was missing a lot of easy chances and Lukaku is a top gold scorer. He will bury those chances once he gets them. Chelsea is also his home. It was his first club in England. I think he will come back and Chelsea will be another scary team. Rameli Lukaku, what do you think about him? When he was at Man United, some people, especially even top pandits, used to refer to him as Miss Firing Strike. I remember Gary Neville's comments about Rameli Lukaku, but when he joined Inter Milan, I think he was accepted and he was recognized as reliable and attacking forward. He has done extremely better than what he did at Old Trafford. Can he replicate the same when he reunites with Chelsea Football Club? He can because now Chelsea will be looking for replacement for Oliver Giroud who left to AC Milan and Lukaku is a top striker who can come and play that role. These other strikers were not leaving up to expectation. The likes of Tammy Abram, Adsono Doido were not leaving up to those expectations. So, Rameli Lukaku can come and feel that gap. Until it's signed, then we can believe that he is actually going to Chelsea. And with the team that Thomas Tujel has, and then you add Rameli Lukaku, it's a squad you've got to fear because it can chase any trophy on the planet. Now you guys coincidentally support one team which has been losing players to opponents and opponents wherever they are heading to, they win accolades, they bag titles. You lost Rameli Lukaku to Inter Milan in one series, our title. And you know, the likes of Ashley Young, who else? Damian. The Chilean player. Sanchez. Sanchez is also with Inter Milan, right? Yeah. And they bag a title. What happens when Rameli Lukaku happens to join, to reunite with Chelsea and they do very well? Is it a disappointment? I think if you compare his time at United first, the manager is sort of different. Mourinho is more of defensive minded.  He wants fast players, he wants fast play and he likes getting the ball to the strikers bit in the middle bit by the side. So it will be a different type of football he'll be playing at Chelsea and at Tushel. And also everyone will want to see how his game has improved from his time in Italy. We've seen him almost back top scorer last season. For the past two seasons there's been getting the goals for Inter and coming back to Chelsea, who need a striker right now. He'll feel that pressure and he'll take that pressure and he'll try to lead the line properly. Let's talk about another controversial headline. Players from English Premier League to continue taking a knee this particular season as one way of trying to combat racism which is an international monster. We've seen other players saying, come on we've done this sufficiently. Like Wilfred Zaha of Crystal Palace completely refused to do it because however much you do it, you get racially abused. It is because it's not enough. It's not enough that when you take a knee, yes it's symbolic, people will know what is happening and all that. But at the end of the day from the people who are governing football from FIFA to the federations, the FA and all other federations all around the world, taking the knee is not enough. Because even the Luton players who are starting, I think they are championship today, they say they are not going to take a knee anymore because taking a knee is not enough for these people to understand that racism is that bad. And until measures are put in place that you can do away with racism now is when people will understand that it is not good for the sport. Do you agree? Ya, I do agree and especially who has to do more with the social media companies because that's where most of the racism happens. These days most players have social media accounts, they post regularly and after a bad game when you go to the comments you see a lot of people just saying negative things and bad things down there. They'll still log into Instagram or Facebook the next day and use their account as if they did nothing and the guys at Instagram and Facebook won't change a thing. So first of all we have to look at the social media companies, they have to put some tough rules into their platforms to ensure the safety of players against racism. We're going to wind up with what's happening in Tokyo Olympics, the final for football that is said to take place in Japan. Think it's Brazil again in Spain. Football has been low key, I don't know in Olympics, in Olympics or any international championship where a lot of disciplines are up for grabs and football is one of them, it gets overshadowed by these other disciplines. Did you follow? Yeah I followed but not that much. I think maybe it's because you're allowed to take a squad over a certain age and not your big players because I'm sure if Brazil has the neighbors and Spain has its muskets and guys the whole world will be watching it because it's actually a big game. But regardless of squads when you look at these two teams even the under 23s in the 21s and they are big players at big clubs. Richalison is there, Matinelli is there for Brazil, there's Pedri, Una Isimon for Spain and this is actually a big game. It's sad that it has been overshadowed at the Olympics because athletics also takes a huge center stage. Marathon, at least the Kenyans get their time to shine on the world platform. But there's no doubt this is a very big game because the players involved are still big players. I think it's the future of football because the under 23s were playing in the Olympics with only three senior players. One player who has got to be there and everybody is watching has got to be the Brazilian fullback who is playing there under 38 years of age and now it's going to 42 trophies and it's the captain so it is a good one for him. Pedri from Spain at only 18 years of age and he has played more than 73 games this season alone so it's a big one for those two sides. Richalison from Everton is using the Olympics as his pre-season as he is going to head on to the next one. So it will be good to see these guys lift a trophy at the end of the day. Guys, we have to end it on that particular note. Your parting shots, last minute submissions. So Robert, what are you looking forward to? Sides to Knights Marathon where Elute Kipchogi are. That is the one I'll be watching actually. I want to see how Elute Kipchogi is going to do this one. He is going to bow out. Are you sure you're going to be awake by that time? Yeah, I am. If I was awake this morning, I'll still be awake. Ken? Yeah, I think the community shield will be happening and I hope at least I just give us a good start to the season. That's the only thing I want to happen today. It definitely, of course, it's been a puns on fun favorite segment of the touchline which happens every Saturday. One, two, three.
