Good morning. Good morning, everybody. We've got old blue running We're ready to go and we're waiting for the Sun. We've got an oversize behind us We're permitted We're in North Bay, Ontario pick this up in around the Hamilton, Ontario area and it's going to Brandon, Manitoba So we're going through northern Ontario going to be taking highway 11 through campus casing around Today, I'm hoping to make it to Longlack Thunder Bay somewhere in there Longlack or Thunder Bay I've during daylight hours I can only get on the road a half hour before sunrise and I have to be off the road after sunset No later. So today When is sunrise in North Bay, Ontario? In North Bay today sunrise is at 746 a.m 746 so that means that 716 I can hit the road it is now 640 I'm ready to go Wish the Sun would hurry up a little bit here Well, I may be ready to go but old blue is not ready to go yet. Anyway, I just started her up Letting it warm up Should be ready by Well should be long ready by the time with 715 716 Eating up some water here gonna make some coffee. That's breakfast The truck in the load are all good.  So if we make it to Longlack, which is 250 kilometers away or 500 some miles. It's about nine hours of just steady driving. So let's see When is sunset today in Longlack, Ontario in Longlack today sunset is at 534 p.m. I've 34 p.m. Better early, but always surprises me how fast the Sun goes down So by 5 p.m. I Know by 6 p.m. Sorry by 6 p.m. I have to be off the road So I'm starting here at 715 that gives me what for hours So if you're wondering why I show you all that that's how I trip plan every day, especially when I have a Wide load behind me and I'm required to be on or off the road at specific times or by specific times I need to know how far I can make it I need to have a trip plan of where I'm gonna park a backup plan if I don't get that far and A plan for if I exceed my expectations and I can park further down the road So the minimum distance I want to travel today is Longlack But it looks like I'll be able to get past there with the daylight hours. I Might make it to Nipagon, Ontario So Longlack or Nipagon, Ontario somewhere in there is where we're gonna stop tonight And if we do really good somehow We'll make it to that Shania Thunder Bay flying J. I don't think we're gonna make it that far but hey if everything just goes perfect maybe Maybe if it's just one of those days where you know, you see unicorns flying past and pigs flying everywhere and everything just goes perfect We might make it that far, but I'm gonna I'm gonna say right now the minimum distance we're gonna make today is Longlack, Ontario and We're shooting for Nipagon Okay Time is here. The Sun is about to show its beautiful face over the horizon According to the official Time of sunrise in North Bay, Ontario today. I am allowed To get moving So without further ado, let's go Got my coffee. I've had my breakfast Get the truck roll and let's just double check that my trailer is gonna come with me like I do every day There we go. It is attached brakes work and of course brakes release Wonderful, it's gonna be a good day. I had a good sleep really good sleep. I'm glad that all these trucks that were parked here moved There's like six trucks parked across here at night. I woke up in the middle of the night to I Don't know why I just woke up. So I looked out the window check what time it was And I was all blocked in not blog I could have still gotten out It just would have been a little tight. They left in a room for me, but like I'll park there I woke up. They're all gone Okay No big deal then Hold on there bud. Hold on wide load coming through hold on Hold on. Yeah, thank you. I thought he was gonna Push his way in anyway. Thank you. I'm feeling nice this morning. I'm gonna wait for you I'm feeling nice. I will accept.  What are these guys doing parked right in front of Timmy's? They're not a lot of park there Look at me in the morning just criticizing. Let's start the day off better than this All right, they do you do you over there guys? I'm gonna do me over here I'm just gonna meander my way down towards Towards home got to get to Longlack. Let's have one of those feelings today. You know, it's gonna be a good day And you know what? If today disagrees with me well, I disagree with it. It's gonna be a good day We're gonna make it a good day I don't know why I'm breathing. I had a good breakfast. I have some coffee My heart's beating Got a good wife at home. Got a baby on the way Got a good family on both sides Nothing to complain about really other than drivers on the highway. We'll try to keep that to a minimum Do our best It's hard because they keep getting in my way Or maybe I'm in their way, I don't know. I'm probably in their way more than they're in my way on my trailer It's it's for a bridge. It's part of a bridge structure three pieces of the bridge There's three of us bringing this load over to Brandon My part of it weighs about 46,000 pounds or 45,000 pounds. I Think it was 46 paperwork Either way, I am not even close to being overweight. So I don't got to worry about that, but I am over with Hence the fancy expensive permit and all these rules about when I can drive Let's do it by myself on the highway right today It seems I'm following 75 to 80 in a 90 zone, you know, so it's it's very hard to get around them So I just have to deal with them spraying my truck with water and dirt and snow We rush maybe we can get to Nipagon stop too long in cap Just get done what I need to get done. I'll see us right now It was zero when I woke up the winter front back on we changed our mind Me myself and I came to a conclusion together after a brief Brief meeting looked at the time. We're making a really good time today We can make it to Nipagon we can do it So I'm gonna fuel there instead that way I can go to bed with full tanks of fuel It's gonna be really cold tonight And I don't like to park in the extreme cold without full tanks of fuel So that's the decision we came to me myself and I but we're gonna have to hammer down stopping in cap today I'm just gonna stop up ahead here at a little pullout. I'm gonna refill my washer fluid make sure it's topped off and then just Book it once again. Our trip planning was executed right down to the tee The Sun set at 545 here in Nipagon I was allowed to be on the road until 615 and I rolled in here at 613 I Had to wait in line for fuel but I was off the road. I waited in line for fuel Once I fueled up Finish that up came around backed it right on in here nice big old spot for an oversized load We're set We're here until the Sun comes up or until half an hour before the Sun comes up in the morning I have 794 kilometers or 500 and 500 miles Left to do tomorrow. That'll be no problem to get that done I just have to get to the Manitoba border our Ontario permits only allow me to drive During the daylight hours in Manitoba. I can drive at night So as long as you get to the Manitoba border before sunset That's fine The Sun is coming up. Let's see When is sunrise here tomorrow? I gotta tell it where I am. Come on. You know where I am Google I know you're creeping on me. I know you stalk me When is sunrise in Nipagon tomorrow? In Nipagon tomorrow the Sun will rise at 828 a.m. 828. That's it. Hey, okay 828 Didn't it rise like way earlier in North Bay this morning? So I was on the road at 715 That means it would rise at 745. Why does it rise 45 minutes later here? Oh? I know why I know why because we're so close to the date the timeline the time zone line Another couple hours down the road. We jump into central time in North Bay We were further east and we were more in the center of central time zone So there's 45 minutes from when the Sun rises in North Bay to when it rises here in Nipagon Even though it's in the same eastern time zone I've never never thought of that before I don't follow very many oversize loads. I guess okay So the Sun's coming up at 830 or 828 I Can get going at 8 a.m. And it's gonna be cold tonight. It's gonna be cold going down a minus 27 Celsius What is minus 27 Celsius in Fahrenheit? Minus 27 degrees Celsius is equivalent to minus 16.6 degrees Fahrenheit Well, there you go. It's not the coldest but It's definitely on the cold side of things. It's uh warm is how I would describe it tonight It will not be warm, but it will be warm in my truck. It will be a An idling night. I Don't like those nights, but below minus 25. Well above minus 30. We might just do half the night My tanks are full of fuel. So I'm not too worried about gelling up But at the same time I have to be cautious I have to keep that fuel moving because what happens is when I have my engine idling Not only does it keep me warm inside keep my engine warm. I have other heaters to do that for me I don't need the engine to do that. But what that does is it circulates the fuel. It takes fuel from the fuel tanks Through the fuel filters into the engine, but it doesn't use it all some of it gets returned back to the fuel tanks And that fuel that goes back to the fuel tanks is very warm So as the fuel keeps circulating through the engine back to the fuel tanks It warms up my fuel tanks like they're actually warm to the touch the snow will melt off Then if there's any snow on it, so it keeps my fuel warm and prevents it from Gelling up if I shut my truck off now that fuel is just sitting sitting still and then the cold starts creeping in and The diesel fuel starts to crystallize and then when I started up in the morning all of those crystals that have formed in the fuel lines specifically between The the fuel tanks and the and the fuel filter and even sometimes on like a surface level on top of the fuel inside the tank or Sometimes there's condensation inside the tank that falls down onto the fuel those crystals get sucked through the fuel lines into the fuel filter and those Those things obviously can't get through the filter so they plug up the filter and that's what it means when your fuel gels It turns into like a crystal gel like substance just a little bit just enough to gum up your fuel filters and then And then you can't get fuel to your engine For me I carry extra fuel filters with me. So even though that did happen I have a filter wrench. I could switch the filter myself right here I got some 911 which is like an emergency you poured in there It melts the ice crystals, but you take the take the fuel filter off That's all full of the ice crystals You throw it out you put a new one on and then the rest of the fuel Should be able to move through there freely and then you can get the fuel warmed up as the engine Idles right that's the idea of it That's really not something you want to do when it's minus 35 outside You don't want to be out there changing fuel filters, but that's how you fix that problem if it does happen to you so In the summertime if you're gonna be driving a truck whether it be yours or a company truck always make sure you know what fuel filters it uses And get extra fuel filters, okay? Make sure you always have extra fuel filters and then get our little wrench It's like a little oh that goes over it that you can loosen it easily a nice little tool to unscrew that and then Best thing to do is in summertime when it's warm outside or if you have a shop like I do practice Practice changing those filters when it's comfortable outside so that when it's cold outside and is minus 35 and your filters gel up You know what to do because you've practiced it so you open the hood You can get under there and quickly change those fuel filters as fast as possible You don't have to mess around in minus 35 or minus 50 You know trying to figure out how to change the fuel filter. I'm speaking to myself as well, too I know how to do it But I haven't practiced so I'm also speaking to myself This is something I need to do in my shop when I have some free time. I just need to practice changing those filters I mean when it's minus 50 outside and you got to change those filters You want to be like a NASCAR pit crew you want to know where your equipment is you want to know where your tools are You want to know exactly what you're doing so that when you throw that hood open as a Done Get back on the road and get back in the truck and warm up speaking to myself here again This also goes for changing fan belts or alternator belts always have a spare belt with you in your truck Even if it's a company truck get your company to buy you an extra belt and buy you extra filters So you can have them in the truck go request them from your shop if they ask why well Because you should always have those in your truck just in case so if a belt goes You don't have to call a service guy and pay him $500 to come out and change a belt for you You should know how to change those belts yourself again in warm weather or in a warm shop Practice practice changing the alternator belt practice changing the fan belt take all the belts off put them all back on You'll need a tensioner rod or a tool to release release the tension on the belts You can go on YouTube and find a whole bunch of videos teaching you how to do this. I don't do how to's I'm not really a trainer. I just give you pointers like this every now and then but I'm not a trainer I'm an entertainer here on YouTube So I try to entertain you while at the same time trying to give you some helpful tips But there are other creators online that I would send you to that would teach you exactly how to change a fan belt Exactly how to change a fuel filter you can easily just type it in the search bar and it'll be there for you But again when it's warm outside practice these things change your fan belt change it back take it off Put it back on your alternator belt take it off put it back on Just so that you know what you're doing so that if it all of a sudden breaks on you on the side of the road You know that you have an extra belt and you know what to do with it And you know how to how to change it It's it's always good to know that those two basic things know how to change your belts and know how to change your fuel filters If you want to go a step further Learn how to change an alternator that one's not hard at all. All you need to do is disconnect the battery Unscrew some bolts take the old one off I'll take the belt off first take the old alternator off put the new one on screw it back in connect the wires Reconnect the batteries connect the belt again, and you're good to go right little things like this We should be able to do ourselves on the side of the road You shouldn't have to pay a service guy $500 to do it now if you're driving a company truck, maybe you don't care Fair enough fair enough, but the fuel filters that's an important one Because it doesn't matter how much you pay a service guy in the winter time to come change your fuel filters for you If your truck's not running and it's minus 50 outside every minute counts It's just faster if you do it, but you don't want to freeze That's like a life-or-death situation. You should know how to change your fuel filters regardless Even if the company pays for it later or something just learn how to get that done So you can get your truck running so you don't freeze to death waiting for a service guy And that's my advice you can take it or leave it I'm getting hot sitting here in this jacket jacket on a sweater on still have enough when I was fueling I saw this spot here. I didn't take my jacket off. I jumped in the truck when I was done fueling and I'm just Got over here as quickly as I could said I got this spot. No one else would take it. It's mine It's a good one because I can drive straight out here. Yes. Did you see it before? You see there's the driveway right there. I'm just Go straight there this guy beside me if he leaves he can back straight out there and then go People can easily back in beside me on both sides, and I don't worry about them hitting me. It's nice It's a very nice spot. It's mine So, you know, it's mine has my name on it. It's under the snow. It's there.  It was just a day of straight driving literally like I didn't stop for anything Except for bathroom breaks, and I checked my load twice just I checked my load in the morning. I drove a couple hours down the road About a third of my day stopped check my load again. It's the second day. I've had this load already So I've already I already know it's good, but I like to check it anyway check my tires Went to the bathroom drove down the road for a while Did it again, and then straight here. We made really good time today And you know if I wouldn't have hustled so much I wouldn't have made it here So I'm glad I did so now I got full tanks of fuel. I got a good parking spot I got a whole bunch of time just to hang out here now I wish I had diesel with me if you're wondering why diesel's not with me. Well open the window Ghost window touched it with my elbow You're wondering why diesel's not with me anymore. I really wish he was Reason number one is he's getting old He is semi-retired. He's he really enjoys being at home with the family. I really wish he would be he would be here with me, but He's been having some issues on the road He's having panic attacks. I don't know why he grew up on the road. This is all he knows But I think this truck's a little louder It's pretty small in here very small for me and him to be in here is pretty cramped We make it work But for some reason when we hit gravel roads, which we do in summertime sometimes or Anything like the rumble strips on the center line Like, you know, sometimes you like hit that or in the shoulder You hit those little rumble strips or Whatever anything like that or some some rough road Even yeah, like he bumpy roads He starts panicking and he starts like he starts shaking like like he's scared and it comes in just between the seats here And he can't calm himself down And it freaks me out. Yeah, it really does. I don't know if he's oh my neighbor's leaving Okay, that means I'm gonna move over Move right over I'll be on the side. Nice even better I don't know why he's having those panic attacks, but it worries me So he's been taking it really easy and just going on short trips with me, but mostly staying at home It seems like maybe the trucking life is just not as much for him anymore Yeah, it's sad, but it's good to know that he's really happy at home with his with his fur brothers and with Britt. He's He's doing well Now I'm on the side. This is my spot I was just joking about that spot that spot. It's not my spot. This spot's my spot This one's got my name under the snow If you look there once all the snow is cleared away, I promise it's there. It's right in the back It's in the corner Right here. The other guy was in my spot But you could say the spot next to me is my spot too, but that's my backup spot So if someone dares to park in my spot, I have my backup spot right beside Thanks for watching Take care everybody smash that like button like you've never smashed a like button before I won't do that for me. Hit that subscribe button turn on all notifications that you get notified when I release a new video And I'll see you tomorrow But I was at 500 miles to go tomorrow. I'll see you when the sun comes up


be short, right? A couple of pages plus some reference documentation, but I think it'd be great to just have maybe a side conversation with you on how your experience differs from mine or what publications you've already seen out there because there isn't a whole lot, especially on the clinical side, and Rich, that's where I'm going to recommend that we focus. Oh, that's fine, yeah. And I think, yeah, Wendy has great experience in this space, and so I'd love that you guys can get together and work on this together. Would that be okay, Wendy, if I reached out to you directly? Yeah, that would be excellent. And yeah, the number of publications now has greatly increased. It started to increase again in 2018 and 2019 already. I think I have collected about 75 or 80 academic articles and blockchain in my personal library alone. Oh, wow. I keep searching. I search regularly just so that I can stay on top of the literature, and then every time I find an article, I add it to EndNote so that I can log it correctly, and then I can go through and make sure all the keywords are in there. I often add more keywords. And so I'm seeing a huge increase. One of the big challenges that I'm seeing, though, Logan, is that most of them are just kind of introductory articles or use cases. And I think that our community is ready for a lot more detail and meat that would help them actually implement some different blockchain cases or that would help them understand more details about what the obstacles are and help them overcome the obstacles. So I'll try and focus on that. I don't want to take over the richest call here, but I guess the specific things in terms of my research right now is that I absolutely agree with you that there are more articles, there's more PR going on, but there's in terms of finding actual people who are applying blockchain to evidence-based medicine, which is in the context of where I'm focused, there's almost none. I agree with you. So I'm going to interject. So this is getting to be a really good conversation. We'll have it offline. And when we come back around to the update for the team, I'll add our comment as well because I'm excited to hear what Wendy's been doing. Well, so we are just past the top of the hour. So I want to say good morning, everyone. We have some folks just now getting online. So good morning to Stephen and Jeff. How are you doing, Jeff? Okay, thank you. Good to have you on. I think I saw you on last time too. And I didn't say hello. Yeah, briefly. I was a little late. Okay. And that's been lauding over me for the past two weeks. All right. So as always, first thing we want to do is go to the anti-trust slide. And I am sharing my desktop. Please review this at your leisure. It's always available. And the upshot is be a good person. Oops. So with that said, let's see. So I don't see anyone. Is that Stephen Elliott I see on the call? Or is that just someone named Stephen? No, it's Stephen. Okay. I know that's Stephen. I usually change it. Okay. I was just looking to see if we had anyone new on the call. And so I'm just just sort of walking the list. These are some of the old timers. So good. Oh, there we go. My world is right again. Oh, good. But weekend will be good. All right. Well, let's sort of move through. Does anyone happen to have any kind of community announcement? They want to share regarding blockchain or hyperledger particularly. So I'll just sort of introduce something. So we do have a quarterly report that came out for hyperledger. And it's a deck of slides. David sort of my contact with hyperledger leadership is is David Boswell. And I just saw a deck go by. I've asked him to generate a PDF and keep it up on Google Docs. And then I can share the link. Because I don't I don't I don't want to necessarily share a whole slide deck. But as far as quarterly report goes, hyperledger continues to grow. The SIGs and work groups continue to grow. So there's some good discussion going on with with with respect to the technical steering committee TSC about trying to find better ways to get work groups and SIGs to communicate, which is fantastic. For those of you that were on the call, I think it was last call or call before. We had Vipin on the line and he talked and he drives the identity working group. And so he's all for trying to find ways for us to communicate better across group. And then in in line with that, I'm working with leadership as well to get all the SIGs to communicate sort of laterally as well. So we can sort of cross-pollinize. And even even as it relates to just getting our sort of our wiki all synced up properly. So so that's kind of I mean, this is all infrastructure stuff. So it's not it's not shiny, particularly, but it's more logistics and organizational kind of the the side effect of all the growth that's been going on within the hyperledger organization. So that said, let's move to our subgroup updates. And for patient, I don't see Benjamin on the line. And that's not good. I think I'm seeing a pattern here. So I need to contact I need to talk to Ben. I do know they've been having meetings. I don't know. I haven't heard from from him in a while as to what they're doing specifically. So that's on me to sort of follow up. And then Ravish couldn't be on the call. He contacted me and he let me know. And I think I've got a note from him. I don't know. Can you see that note? I'm just wondering if you can see this really small. Oh, okay. So I'll read it. Thanks, Alan. So he has three things he wanted to update me on. So some of the previous members are back and active now and they're reworking the paper and the paper that they've been working on is sort of a kind of a due diligence on on on blockchain when when there are needs and where when there are not needs. It's sort of that sort of filter. But it's it's the idea is it's scoped around the pear space, but could be sort of recycled outside of that. What's ironic a little bit about that that paper is I host the the Seattle area hyperledger meetup. And this exact conversation came up last night's meetup, which is boy, and the topic happened to be we have a local coffee company that's using blockchain for supply chain. The question came up and said, well, why can't you do with a sequel database? It was a very interesting conversation. So that that aspect continues. And that's some of the work that revision his team are trying to sort of scope. And I'm sure when he has when he has seen these kinds of papers come and go, it's we're still in some some cases struggling to understand when blockchain is most viral. He has a survey open, this is open to all membership, just to get some ideas on continued direction with the pair subgroup. And then this is a little cryptic and I need to follow up. He says he's planning for a physical event in the area to get more membership. So I don't know the details on that. And so I need to follow up with him on that. But anyway, so that's where we are for payer. And Steven, you want to give us an update? This is getting exciting with with the work that you've been doing with health care and repability. Unmute, sorry. So it's fits and fits and starts, right? So we have got a reasonable charter and mission statement to move forward. I think the current task now is for me to work with you, Rich, to frame an introduction to the general membership and sort of watch this. Unfortunately, I'm very much occupied. I'm on a project that's losing people and they're not moving a go live date for me. So I have to pick up places and work in order to see my day job through. So I'm going to have to find time. I don't know if it's going to be this weekend, but I'm going to try and get it done before the end of the month so that we can start meeting sometime in April. I'm really excited about it. Although I think that we're going to get a little sidetracked because from my participation in the developer and the interoperable interest groups, they are having a lot of difficulty doing anything more than very small deployments of hyperledger fabric. And there's a lot of, you know, there's a lot of changes, a lot of things going on. So I hope we don't get sidetracked. Anyway, we need to start working on defining what interoperability is, how we're going to represent that. So there's a lot of work to be done before we actually start building out the blockchain, but I can see that that's going to be not just a task for us to persist artifacts and assets on the blockchain and be able to retrieve them, but the blockchain itself, the hyperledger fabric blockchain. So I'll just add that the charter that you and Sonny put together is excellent. In fact, I'll make the statement and I could be jumping the gun. I think the charter is ready to go and I should have posted a link here for people to get to. I'll do that sort of posthumously. Yeah, I think really the next step, as you point out, is we just need to put together an introduction and get it out to membership. And you may want to work with Sonny on that as well if she's got spare cycles. So she may be doing a sort of first draft and then you can do an edit pass on it. But this is, as I think most people know, this is probably sort of really our first subgroup looking at sort of a bottom up approach instead of a top down approach, which is looking more at more generic services that could be used and recycled in other contexts. And so that's a very powerful way to approach a subgroup. And so this is, that's, to me, this is the exciting part. This is an interesting experiment. And I think it's the right way to go forward.  If we get that introduction out, you'll get a lot more resources that'll in turn sort of help you prioritize and put resources to the work that you're doing. So it'll take some of the pressure off of you, I think. Well, one of the things that we want to do is to be able to actually run this as a code development subgroup. In order to do that, we're going to need to have a code repository and some effective way of documentation you know, I don't know if the Wiki is the best place to do software design documents, that sort of thing. We can also do that in in Google Docs or that sort of thing. But we'll also need to organize the work in order to do that. We use like to use something like Jira. So I'd still like to reach out and see if we can't get the hyperledger management to provide us with those tools to be able to do that work. I think it'll make it a lot easier. We're going to have to do it one way or the other. Having the tools to do it would be sweet. Yeah, I think so we've contacted leadership and they're good to go. They just need sort of the problem statement. And I think that introductory email is a great sort of way to summarize it as well as a pointer to the charter because that's really all we need to have going forward. We've got resources available to us from that respect. So yeah, this is this is really exciting. I did someone go ahead. Yeah, yeah, I'm just going to say, hey, Steven, this can all good. If you need some help with the charter, dude. Ken. Good to hear your voice, my friend. What a surprise. Ken, all good. I know that voice. And good morning, Ken. I didn't see you on the call, but good to have you as well. Yeah, sorry. I joined late at a conflict earlier. So no problem. Good to have you on the call. Good, good. So one thing to reach before you move on, Steven and Ken and all others interested in interoperability. CMS had a webinar this week. So it was entitled CMS and ONC enabling data interoperability across the continuum. That's the care continuum. What attracted my attention and why I sat through 90 minutes of our government talking to us about something that it's they make horribly complex and ugly. It is that they are focusing on something and they're calling their data element library. The reason why I believe this might be interesting to you is that all interoperability issues involving existing health care records are going to have to work through the issues around the current code sets and ontologies that are a part of health care. And so there's like a 50 page slide deck that I picked up from this. I'll be more than happy to place it somewhere or send it to you. Yeah, so that would be outstanding, Logan, and I'd appreciate it. Yeah, if you can shoot me the deck or a link to the deck and like I said, I'll turn it. I think usually most people PDFs are easy to manipulate. I'd be happy to turn it into a PDF and then we can post it here. So that would be great. It's actually a PDF. I will forward it. The thing that attracted my attention on this was that it's entirely focused on specifically in post-acute care, which is addressing all of the issues that I want to see blockchain actually be succeed in health care marketplace. So I will forward that to you, Rich. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Logan. Appreciate that. Okay, good. So let's move on to our teams. So I talked briefly with Ravish, I want to say about a week or so ago. So the wiki redesign continues and really at this point it's migration over to confluence and we're still sort of mired. I don't think we're moving as quickly as we should. So that's really again a question of resources. And so Ravish has continued to work that and again part of this conversation why it's moving as slowly as it is is because we're trying to sync up with the other SIGs and we do have new SIGs coming online. Like I said, we're sort of in a high growth phase here and it's interesting to try to keep everyone sort of synced up. So that's where we're at with that. And then as far as academic research team goes, Logan and or Wendy, did you want to sort of summarize where you're at? This is Wendy. I haven't been involved in any formal activities with this yet. So I'm afraid they don't have much to contribute. The only thing that I have reached is that interested in all of the publications that you've already done, thank you and to you and to Adrienne in terms of a great stepping off point in terms of the draft that's already out there. I'm trying to really address the specific issues that you mentioned in that draft which is or specific needs and that is recommendation of use cases of the answer. We all know the problems with the implementing of blockchain within the healthcare in a very traditional oriented healthcare or healthcare industry that we have in the US and worldwide. Hopefully what I'm going to recommend to you, Wendy and Adrienne is to try and drive to some very specific use cases that we can approach academic medical centers to see if we can find some partnerships to move forward. Yeah. And this is sort of the follow up from the conversation at the top of the hour. Wendy, if you'd like to, I'd love to have you do so, if you could share some of that library of academic papers that you have available. If they're publicly available, I'd love to see if we can maybe create a Wiki page as a reference. I know we started that several months ago and as we see interesting links in the blockchain space, particularly as it reflects sort of an academic thinking and process, we kind of make a note of it. So I'd love to reprise that. Well, one idea I have is that as part of creating my in-note repository, I have made sure that each article has an abstract or the first few paragraphs and that I can export. I think I have 355 right now and I can export the list of the citations, the link to where it's found, and I added a note onto the link as to whether it involved a subscription or not, and the abstract. And so then anyone on the team could go through and identify whether the abstracts meet their needs and then click on the link and then obtain the article. If the article involves a subscription, I have it. I still have access to the university library, so I download what I need and I could provide that to any individual privately. Oh, perfect. Oh, that would be fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, we'll take care of that offline. Okay. Just feel free to contact me through email and then we'll do that. We'll build a home for it, but that would be fantastic. Okay, perfect. Thank you. Alrighty, so a couple of old business items, and this is obviously kind of a light morning. This is great. This feels good. We have quarterly reports coming up. This is kind of a we're getting back into a groove. And again, from a historic sort of perspective, we went through kind of a reorg mid to late last year. And so we're getting back into quarterly reports. So if you happen to be a lead of either a subgroup or a team, I'm going to be asking you to sort of summarize the work that you've been doing over the past quarter, which is really the beginning of the year. And that'll get reported out mid month, next month in sort of a summary page in the Wiki. It's a pretty straightforward kind of a quick thing to do, but just keep that sort of front of mind as we sort of move forward. And I'll be generating email if you happen to be a lead. And then we, you know, so I wanted to get through this conference report, finally, because we didn't have time last time around. The upshot is for the HIMS conference back in February, there were two things that came out that I wanted to just bounce off of you. And I know we've sort of talked briefly on it. I just don't feel like we came to conclusion. And Wendy sort of touched on this or I'm actually, I think might have been logging the touch on the notion of use cases. And to put some context to this at the conference, I was very surprised that we had so many people asking us, well, where are your use cases? Which to me is odd, only in that my sense was it was folks were asking to try to, you know, fit the square peg in the round hole, which is really just to, you know, another way to frame it is to maybe try to justify a blockchain solution, looking at it through the lens of blockchain as a technology and then trying to apply it versus we, you know, gee, we ought to sort of work the problem and then fit the solution to the problem. So I'm always just worry about it, but in, you know, on hindsight, I guess it does make sense. It does, I think it probably does help that if we do generate, say, a list of use cases, we may, you know, folks newer to the blockchain technology space might have a better sort of sense for when the technologies are useful and when they are not. So, you know, maybe thinking of these as examples might be the right way to go. So anyway, so I just wanted to put that to the group here. We, you know, we really, we really haven't done use cases. I mean, we have a long time ago and then they just sort of sat idle, but would people be in favor of sort of reprising that? And, you know, again, we can create a new page that, you know, we can point people to and say, here are some of the use cases that sort of demonstrate the true value of blockchain technologies. I'll open that up to the group. Yeah, I'll jump right in real quick, Rich. I think it would help for people to kind of wrap their head around. Yeah, what's not, that's the main reason. I mean, it's a trade off whenever you run the risk of pigeonholing. Yeah, yeah. But it gives people a way to find, you know, basically signage, if you will, to figure out how they could potentially even think about something like blockchain. Yeah. It makes it easier to answer those questions of why don't you just use a SQL server? I don't understand. Okay, so, so I'd like to hear from others on this. I mean, and then I'll tell you sort of what our way forward would be for this. Anybody? Oh, am I going to have to pick someone? All right, Alan, you're up. You're the first one in my list. So go, Alan. I think I think I can contribute to use cases. I donated that design flow for helping business people, you know, understand if, you know, this is the right approach for them. You know, we could build off of that. Okay. And so the notion of use cases is valuable in your, in your, from your perspective. Yeah, because otherwise they're going to try to chain wash everything like you said. Yeah, okay. All right.  Well, there's probably a lot that we can do, but a lot of the limitations we found are, you know, identity based. If we don't have a good strategy on our identity, we're going to build things are going to be overly complicated, you know, in the future when everybody's got a blockchain, right? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Good, good. All right. Anybody else want to weigh in on this? I guess the one thing that might be helpful is that in after doing my non systematic review of what's out there in terms of publications, it's clear that there's a lot of commercial work that's going on in healthcare around blockchain.  There's supply chain initiatives, whether it's equipment or pharmaceuticals, there's financial applications out there based on blockchain. Now they're being delivered like clearing house apps. And there's a number of companies and startups that are working in the clinician and organizational credentialing area, which fit right very well into blockchain and smart contract areas. It's, as I mentioned, though, at the top of the discussion top of the hour, there's, there's very, there's a lot of suggested use cases out there around the patient actual practice of medicine or work clinical side, if you will. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. All right. Well, so the sense then is that it, I think I'm hearing that it makes sense. Does anyone else want to contribute the review? So I think that the use case is a visual clue as to what needs to be done, but I don't think in and of itself it demonstrates the, or highlights the features in a blockchain that make sense. So many people think of blockchain and rather so as a distributed ledger, but there's a lot more to it, especially when you get to things like permissioned. Yeah. In private and public and where those nuances make sense in a use case. Our use case here is interoperability. So we will be focusing on a policy that will probably substitute, you know, something like a work or other policies, so policy of interoperability. And these kinds of things don't, you don't, they don't get surfaced in the use case. So I think the use case, once it's talked through, it's quickly, yes, you can do this with, with, with with MySQL or SQL database, but you're going to quickly find that managing consent management, doing things like interoperability, it's going to be very, very difficult if you just have a MySQL database and everybody's putting data into it. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. That's, that's kind of what I was alluding to, Stephen, is exactly that. And I would argue if you take it right and you, as part of the development of any sort of use case, we probably need to call out those key points of differentiation. And that, that should just be part of the development of the use case where, again, we're now, we're shifting the conversation away from, well, what is a blockchain to here are the strengths within this use case. I totally agree. So I, yeah, use cases are really important because, you know, I think it provides you a workflow and, you know, this is going to happen, this is going to happen, but it has to be, has to be framed in, well, this is what a blockchain brings to the conversation. This is not what, this is not what SQL brings this conversation. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. Okay. So I think what we'll do is I'm going to, I'm going to put, I'm going to generate an email, it'll go out to membership and really what we want to do is develop a team that could start to develop, you know, build out and collect use cases. And then what we could do then is bring them back to either probably to this group on our general meetings and maybe, you know, use that as a way to sort of vet the list so that we can sort of keep up on where we are with our use cases and whether we see them as, you know, demonstrating good value in blockchain technologies or, you know, kind of that bending backwards to sort of fit things in sort of sideways. And that's that, again, that's kind of my concern is I just don't want, I don't want us to try to communicate something that is subjective or anything but objective. So I, but again, like I said, the message was absolutely clear from the conference. It seemed to be one of the number one questions, where are your use cases? And so okay, so we will do so. All right, so yeah, so I expect an email. Does anyone on this call want to want to sort of be the point person for this? And then I'm certainly happy to help sort of facilitate everyone jump in. Well, there are so many use cases from the academic literature. Do you want to start by seeing us already out there or? Yeah. So actually, good idea, Wendy. I mean, what you have maybe sufficient for us to sort of parse out and just, you know, break that out so that we can have, you know, sort of pre-populate our use cases almost immediately using the literature that you have available to you. Yeah, there's no sense recreating the wheel. Yeah, good idea. Yeah, some of the use cases are well developed. Others are just theoretical. So it's, I guess it's up to us to go through them and determine which really contribute to the cause that we're trying to put forth. Yeah, and I think the end goal here, as I imagine it, would be something on the wiki that people can go to and just use as a reference to go. Gee, I have an idea for using blockchain technologies and I'm not quite sure if it's the right fit. And then, oh look here in this, you know, list of use cases, that seems to be about what we want to do. So that maybe demonstrates some sort of value or acknowledgement that the idea is somewhat sound. Or I think, as Ken pointed out, it's just a great way of sort of understanding by example where the value of blockchain technologies is and then sort of where it goes undefined. So yeah, yeah, thanks Wendy. Yeah, that's a great idea. Okay, and then so the other aspect of this, which is maybe a little less pronounced is I did get questions about blockchain governance, which is really sort of long term understanding of how do you manage these sort of this newer technologies, these newer technologies. And it goes to, you know, more IT management and sort of what the technical understandings are, what the policies need to be that are somehow unique to blockchain technologies specifically. And then sort of longer term, you know, what I would imagine would be, and I'm coming from a technical point of view, DevOps, which is how do I make updates and that, you know, I don't lose my data if I make updates and so forth. Is this something that we want to try to address at this stage within this special interest group? This is, can you hear me? This is Jeff. Yeah, hey, Jeff. I think this is a critical thing. What we're discussing though is really something more generic than specifically healthcare. That doesn't mean we can't do the heavy lifting if no one else is. But, you know, in the use case discussion, really a lot of that is very much in parallel to what we're trying to do in the pay or subgroup coming up with this framework for evaluating use cases to determine if they're legitimate applications for blockchain. And the governance is again something a lot more generic that really applies across the board. You mentioned some of the issues about the data, but you also have the issues of if you change something in the way the blockchain is or the application is structured, do the members still want to be members? Have you alienated people? And I'm not sure, you know, it's a really critical area. And if no one else is taking it up, I think it's important to be taken up and maybe so if we have the interest, we can start doing it. But it really requires, it's really something that's kind of should spread across all of Hyperledger, in fact, all of blockchain. That was going to be my comment before you that seems to be a global concern. Because if I'm making changes to whether it's the application, the smart contracts, the functionality, whatever it is, it doesn't matter if it's health or otherwise, it's an inherent feature of blockchain. So I guess my question would be, is there something already going inside of another of the things? Yeah, exactly. And so Ken, I just wrote down, I'm gonna, I'm, I'll take this, I'm gonna push this up to leadership and ask them the question. Since this is sort of something that to me is a little more cross cutting. You know, who wants to own this or who's doing work currently in this space? And how do we sort of at least monitor the work that's going on in this space? And then, you know, if nothing's going on, how do we get something that, you know, is maybe crossing or cross work group to, to sort of facilitate? So contributing totally makes sense, but anything we would run into any other implementation regardless of vertical would run into as well. Yeah, yeah. Excellent point. Excellent. Okay, well, good. So I'll take that. And like I said, I'll run this up through membership, through leadership and sort of see where, where folks stand on this. Because yeah, this is absolutely very, very good point. This is absolutely something bigger than, than healthcare. You know, I think the way the question was framed was, you know, more from a healthcare policy perspective. And of course, you know, as we all kind of know, healthcare is steeped in policy. We seem to love our policy because we're so I think in part so closely wedded to academia. And so, but, but yeah, I think you're right. It makes absolute sense to sort of maybe see this from a, from a different perspective, a much broader perspective. So I have a note here, I'll take that action. Okay, and then we've so new business, and this is a little bit exciting, because this is really scratching the itch that came out of the, our membership survey. And this specifically out of the survey results, people wanted, you know, more sort of interaction with the, with the healthcare community and what people, what other people are doing with blockchain technologies. And so out of the HIMS conference, I met David Holding. He's with Microsoft Corporation. So for me, he's, you know, not too far away. We're, we're both in the Seattle area. He happens to be the principal healthcare lead, and he gave a great presentation at the blockchain symposium the day before the conference, which was very, very, I think, well accepted. I think we were about 95% full, which was amazing for a first time event. And his focus is really on, and I don't want to get too much away, but the notion of using blockchain technologies and some of the security implications that come from that. And I've asked him if he could reprise his talk, and he said, yes, he would love to. And I got sort of, I got a double dip from him. So he's going to also speak at our local Seattle hyperledger meetup as well. I think June, July, but we've got him at the beginning of April. So our next HCCIG general meeting, which is this forum forum, we'll have David speaking for probably half an hour or so, and then Q&A for the rest of the time. So we'll have, we'll have next meeting really set up for him to come and speak. And this is exciting. Because again, like I said, from my perspective, this is sort of helping to address some of the questions that came up in our membership survey. And so, anyone on the call, if you know someone or you want to, you yourself, want to present to membership, this is the right forum to do so. If someone wants to get a little more commercial and they have something that they want to show off, I'd be happy to, you know, to make the time to do so. Any thoughts or insights, commentary on this? Okay. So that's kind of it. We're, like I said, we're kind of light this week. So if anyone, I'll open this up. And let's think big, let's talk about the CIG at a general level. Where do we want, and I always ask this, this is, I've been told I'm a critical person, so I take that as a compliment. But, but maybe not. But anyway, I always look at ways to improve things. So I'm going to, I'll ask this to the, to the group today. What do we want to see changed with this HC CIG? And I, you know, it sounds like a loaded question. It's really not. I'm trying to be as, about as objective as I can. Nothing. It, we're perfect. I'm not, I'm not buying it. Can you hear me? Yeah, your mic's still on. All right. It got suddenly very quiet.  So I love, and Jeff, I'm surprised that, that you're not chiming in. Jeff and I are very, we both come from the critical world. We like, not cynical, mind you, critical. I laugh, but I don't have a comment. Okay. All right. Well, keep, keep your, you know, keep, keep thinking. My, my interest is to continue to grow this, this CIG, where I think we're on a thousand members or so. You know, my concern is whenever I get notifications when people get added to the CIG list and when people drop off, and it's a, it's a very, very large special interest group. And it, you know, part of that is because of what happened last year with sort of the spin up with cryptocurrencies and people, you know, really had an interest in, in the whole blockchain technologies. So we've gone through what's called a crypto winter for most people, I'm sure you know that. And so, but my interpretation is whenever I see someone drop off of our CIG, I go, gee, what could we have done to have kept that person? And so I, I don't focus on the new people getting added to the list.  So again, this is, I'm trying to be about as objective as I can. If there's anything that you see that you'd like to change in any way, shape, or form, please, you know, please feel free to speak freely on that point. Okay. Well, take, take that one for the weekend. And, you know, if you want to contact me via email, feel free to do that as well, or, you know, run it through the full membership listserv as well, if that's more appropriate. And if there's nothing more to be said on that, our next meeting is the fifth of April. And again, like I said, David holding will be our special guest. He'll be speaking about the work that he's been doing through, with Microsoft Corporation on their work in blockchain technologies. Anything else? Anybody? All right. We, well, I think we stand adjourned. So thanks everyone. Have a fantastic weekend. And we'll see you in a couple of weeks. You as well. Take care. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Take care. All right. Thank you. Take care. Thank you.


They had to wait almost 20 years to get back to the state tournament and the Greenway boys hockey team had to wait all day long to finally hit the ice as the Raiders were the finale of the four class A quarter final games. The fifth seated Delano Tigers taking on Greenway tonight. Tigers scored 2-20 seconds then the Raiders get on board as Micah Jernander with the beauty of a snipe in the slot. In the second now down 3-1 Dante Lawson parks himself in front, tips the shot in and it's a one goal game. Halfway through the second period the Raiders get the equalizer at Lawson to Ben Trombly. Beautiful execution, that ties things up at three and that's where we currently stand in the second intermission.


Baeb Wajimo knew bae and dating rumors. Baeb's Wajimo and brilliant Utsbeo have poured cold water on dating rumors yet again, after they were apparently spotted getting cozy at the Umlaze Epictnic Music Festival last weekend, Isla's Wee reports. As reported by Chwisa L.I.B.E. last week, Baeb's and Mampincha were billed to perform at the festival just days after abuse allegations involving the former Lovebirds sent shockwaves across the nation. According to Isla's Wee, Baeb's and Brilliant were spotted arriving at the festival together and were apparently also seen happily chatting and sharing laps together. In an exclusive interview with The Paper Baeb's put the rumors on blast. Does it mean that every man that I'm spotted with is my man? I also have a bodyguard named S.T.H.E., people will say that I'm dating him. Baeb's claimed that Brilliant had also apparently paid Lobola for another woman, so it was not possible for her to be dating him. How can I be in a relationship with someone who is committed? It won't sit well with me to hear that the love of my love who promised to marry me is in relationship with another person. I won't hurt another woman like that. Brilliant told The Paper that he had no idea where the rumors came from. Love life has been a topic of discussion ever since Masikaba and Lobya confronted her about allegedly being abused by Mampincha during an interview on Metro FM two weeks ago. Mampincha has since been interviewed by the station to address the claims but he neither confirmed or denied the claims. Instead he labelled it an ambush tactic and blamed it third hand. There is no pressure to drop him and we won't drop him, organizer D.J. Tiruz said.


Welcome to ITU Telecom World 2017, and we're here in Busan, South Korea, with Mark Frankopinolli, who is global head of government relations for Nokia. Mark, thank you very much for being with us today. Thanks for having me. Now, I'd like to start off by asking you about smart digital transformation, the theme of this year's event. What does it mean to you? Well, you know, smart digital transformation is in fact very much related to the fourth industrial revolution. Up to now, we had a couple of those.   The third one brought IT into processes, was very much about efficiency. And now in the fourth one, we actually get digitalization across all sectors. So the potential is huge, because it can really bring benefits for society, for the economy, but also for the environment. As you have heard, we have smart transport, we have smart energy, we have smart cities, so a lot of use cases can actually appear. And I think that actually the opportunity is only limited by our imagination. What is the single greatest opportunity, in your opinion, of the smart era? I think if you look at the smart area, it's a lot about Internet of Things, and Internet of Things creates a lot of data. So there is a generation of massive amount of data. This data gets analyzed, and then out of that you can get insights. And then with artificial intelligence, you can actually impact the way decisions are being made. And I think the big opportunity is that the data sets coming from the vertical sectors can actually get merged at a higher level. So that, for instance, you can merge data coming from the transport, together with data coming from the environment pollution, and then bringing that together to take decisions on, for instance, when to drive, what is the best way in order to optimize both the time to travel as well as the pollution. That's great. So very positive elements there. Can we, in terms of future connected devices, can we talk about those? Will they work for users and not against them, and perhaps could security concerns slow down the digital economy? I think that trust is absolutely essential, and so making sure that we master cybersecurity solutions as well. You know, again, with the Internet of Things, we have massive amount of devices. We usually talk about 50 to 100 billion of devices by 2020 connected. So all these can, of course, create a lot of potential security breaches. So awareness of the end user is critical. It is important that we have security by design, but also that we embed security in all parts of the value chain, because as you know, a chain is just as solid as the weakest link. So yes, cybersecurity critical to address in a solid manner. Can you tell us about your role in the Broadband Commission digital scorecard on enabling the digital future, something which has just recently been published? Absolutely. So Nokia, our CEO, was actually chairing a working group within the Broadband Commission to look at the policy and regulatory readiness of vertical sectors to digitalize. In fact, the rationale is when you look at digitalization, most of the people think about technology or about policies that relate to telecom and data, but not directly linked to what are incumbent regulations in vertical sectors that can actually inhibit or even accelerate digitalization. So the whole work was about making a study and an assessment on what are best practices in terms of policy and regulation that can hamper or accelerate digitalization in vertical sectors. And so that report is available on the Broadband Commission website. It contains a lot of recommendations by sector, and we are quite sure that a lot of countries that are on their way to digitalization can learn a lot from it. That's brilliant. Now, here we're here at ITU Telecom World 2017, a key event in ITU's calendar. What have you seen or what have you heard here so far that perhaps has inspired you and made you think a little bit more about the world that obviously we live in right now? Yeah, I think the interesting thing is that the teams are really relevant here. I think that the team of this year related to artificial intelligence, so you get a lot of new thinking about bringing the people together that have some expertise in artificial intelligence. We know that artificial intelligence will bring a lot of opportunities, but it also has its challenges that need to be mitigated in time. And so having this forum here bringing experts together from around the world to talk about these matters is absolutely essential. And what's the value for Nokia for being involved in events such as this? Yeah, I think the value is huge because it's an excellent platform. You have, of course, the conference sessions. You have the networking, and then you have the exhibitions. So it's a kind of good cocktail bringing those three things together. And associated with the very relevant teams, I think it brings a lot for industry like us, Nokia. But also the fact that we are capitalizing on the insights of last year. So we are just building upon what we learned last year and exchanging for the best practices. So I think that brings a lot of value. Well, we hope to build on this year with you next year, and we look forward to catching up with you again soon. Mark Fakumano, thank you very much for being here today. Thank you very much. Thank you.


I'm Heidi and I'm Claire as a DFL student in VHSC. So my research looks at clinical and programmatic networks in LMIC health systems. So I look at things from a systems perspective and we all know health systems are complex systems and many all over the world functions of optimally leading to poor quality of care, service delivery and outcomes. So one solution has been this network approach. When I'm talking about networks, I consider them to be groups of facilities or stakeholders who are linked through various needs. Why am I thinking about this for four years? Where there's results in the literature that show that there's working together in networks to improve clinical outcomes, but not so much on the why and how actually people work together to achieve those results. And it's becoming a more frequent approach and interest in LMIC health systems. So hopefully this can help form some future implementation. So I have three phases of my work. The first was a scoping review that looked at the literature to try and figure out what networks are, how, why, what they're used for. And the second part is a realist review that's developing a program theory to explain how and why networks form and improve quality of care and service deliveries. And then I'm developing this theory which will be tested in a realist evaluation to try and fill in knowledge gaps on the NEST program in Kenya and then refine the theory and hopefully have transferable lessons. So this is my working program theory which shows there's kind of two pieces. It's network initiation piece, so how are networks initiated and then the second piece of how they actually try and change practice. And so it kind of starts with the identification of a problem, people taking action, developing a vision, forming relationships, developing an identity and culture and of all focused around sort of network leadership and engage motivated network members. This creates a psychological safe space that allows these network members to work in a different way to enable them to hopefully able to change practices to improve care.


What's good YouTube we back again with another reaction video the first one was kind of lame We finna see it the second one in any better. Let's get right into it, man The original the original video will be in the link in the bio below So if you want to see it without it's coming to you can go ahead and click that right now But we finna jump right into it, man Let's see what's up Let's see what they got running in the ammo right here in the door Number 15 Elmo Goes Insane I'm a twerking Kill James That's what a talking Elmo doll began to say at random one day in Lithia, Florida The mother was changing the batteries for her toddler's toy When she noticed that it was saying her son's name and instructing him to die The Elmo knows your name doll is supposed to plug into the computer, learn your child's name and say hi It is definitely not supposed to learn the urge to kill Fisher Prize manufactures the dolls They can offer no explanation as to why this one Elmo doll is bent on wanting to kill James They asked the family to return the doll so that it can be studied and better understood By this point, young James had begun to repeat the phrase himself Number 14 Apologizing to Australia Air's Rock is a famous natural landmark in Australia That brings in 250,000 visitors from across the world each year It is also home to the native Aboriginal population otherwise known as Bushmen Unfortunately, a lot of people want to disrespect the sacred site by taking a piece of rock back home with them And when I say unfortunately, I mean for the tourists and not for the local tribes That's because every year, hundreds of apologetic tourists mail their stolen rock fragments back to Australia As their letters show, a large portion of them say they have been cursed with bad luck ever since they brought the souvenir back Complaints of family deaths, divorces and illnesses are the top three common side effects of removing the rock from their natural habitat Mailing the rock's back, cursed tourists hope they can reverse the damage that they have so foolishly brought upon themselves Even though the natives tell them not to take the worst place, tourists have been ignoring them since the 1970s Some people just have to learn the hard way Number 13 Curse of the Irish Australia is not the only place with cursed rocks The Blarney stone in Ireland is known to bring good luck to anyone who kisses it But this logic does not apply to the rest of the castle If you want to take a piece of the Blarney castle home with you, you'll get a curse instead Much like air's rock, regretful tourists often mail their stolen stone fragments back to Ireland With letters of apology explaining how they have been cursed One of these people is Linda Kelly from South Carolina She explains that she bought a rock from Blarney Castle at a yard sale for one dollar Its previous owner was a priest who had died alone and in misery When she took the rock home, her life changed immediately and not for the better First, Kelly felt extremely depressed for no explainable reason at all She also had employment problems right away, even though she was usually excellent at her job Soon she started hanging around the house all the time, it could not seem to even move When she received a huge late notice in the mail for a bill she knew she had already paid She decided to mail the stolen piece of the Blarney castle back to Ireland She started to feel better right away and knew she made the right decision Otherwise, Kelly was sure that she would have ended up like the unlucky priest before her Number 12, the worst phone number in the world While this one is technically not a physical object, it is still cursed and brings bad luck to all those who come across it I'm talking about a mobile phone number that is so dangerous, nobody in the world will accept it That's because every single person who has been given this phone number 0888 888 888 has died Vladimir Grashnov was the first to go in 2001 This CEO of a Bulgarian company called Mobitel died of cancer when he was only 48 Next was a Bulgarian crime mafia boss named Konstantin Dimitrov He was given the cursed number and was killed by a hitman at a restaurant soon after A cocaine Drug lord named Konstantin Dyshlev got the number next He was shot outside of a restaurant immediately after Police suspended the number for a bit to investigate, but the Bulgarian phone company decided to pull the number for good It's out of service for everyone's safety Number 11, cursed in China In 1974, a team of 7 peasant farmers came across a priceless discovery in their small village of Yang As they were working the earth, one of them spotted a tiny head sticking out of the ground They could tell the object was extremely old and were afraid to touch it at first But one of them wanted cigarette money so he broke a piece of it off to take back to town That is where their problems began The farmers told others about what they had found And soon archaeologists came from all over to dig the relics out In total over 8000 miniature figures were recovered These figures were made out of a clay-like substance called terracotta This was a complete replica of the ancient Chinese army And these figurines had been buried with the first emperor of China to protect him in the afterlife They were more than 2000 years old and extremely valuable but also quite cursed The 7 peasants who found the terracotta army suffered horribly Instead of making any money, their farmland was taken from them by the government And their homes were destroyed to make room for government gift shops and museum exhibits Some of the peasants died at an early age And the rest of them now signed books in the museum for next to no pay Almost all of their village believes that this is payback for disturbing the great emperor's cursed army Number 10, Roberts and Yatec If you have ever watched Chucky from the Child's Play movies Then you should know about the actual doll that inspired him This doll is named Robert and instead of wearing overall suspenders and having long red hair This doll sports a creepy sailor suit, black eyes and holes all over his face The doll's original owner was a young boy who was also named Robert But went by the name of Jean instead because Eugene was his middle name Many people believe that the sailor suit Robert wears is a real one that Jean himself used to wear Jean loved the doll so much Instead because Eugene was his middle name Many people believe that the sailor suit Robert wears is a real one that Jean himself used to wear Jean loved the doll so much that he absolutely refused to part with it even after becoming an adult Instead the doll went with him everywhere until he died in 1974 A woman named Myrtle Reuter soon bought the property and found Robert the doll still inside Her 10 year old daughter remembers that the doll was alive and she believes to this day that he constantly plotted to kill her She and other visitors recall hearing footsteps in the attic where Robert stayed He would also move to different areas of the house on his own In 1994 Myrtle decided she had enough and donated Robert to a museum You can view him in Key West Florida for yourself if you ever feel like you need a new friend Number 9, King Tut hates your pets King Tut was an Egyptian ruler who died at the age of 19 Although he did relatively little during his 9 years as Pharaoh His cursed tomb has made him immensely famous years after death Here's what happened British explorers seemed to love sticking their noses in the most haunted places of the world And in 1891 Howard Carter figured he would continue the trend He went to Egypt and poked around there for almost 3 decades until he finally came across Tut's tomb in the early 1920s You would think that they opened the coffin and there Tut was But that's not exactly what happened First, they opened the coffin and found a smaller coffin inside Inside of that was an even smaller coffin And inside of that was a third coffin that was made of gold King Tut was inside Lord Carnarvon accompanied Howard to the tomb and was responsible for funding the excavation All of his pets died and he himself died of a mosquito bite shortly thereafter This ignition who x-rayed King Tut died as well King Tut was inside Lord Carnarvon accompanied Howard to the tomb and was responsible for funding the excavation All of his pets died and he himself died of a mosquito bite shortly thereafter This ignition who x-rayed King Tut died as well A wealthy visitor who wants to see the tomb died And another member of Howard's team is thought to have somehow died of arsenic poisoning Howard himself did not die, but it is said that a cobra ate his pet cannery on the same day that he found the tomb Number 8 Donna's doll Donna was turning 28 years old and was going to school as a nursing student in the year 1970 Her mother got her a raggedy andor to keep her company while she was away at college It would soon prove to become the worst gift she had ever received Donna and her roommate would come home to find the doll in different positions all around the house Sometimes its arms were folded and other times it was found leaning against a chair Sometimes the raggedy andor would even be kneeling If you've ever seen a raggedy andor before, you'd know that it was impossible for Donna to put the doll in a kneeling position without it falling over So they really had no idea what to make of this Things only continued to get worse Somebody started leaving short messages around the house that said things like Help us Her roommate's fiancee claimed to have been attacked by the doll on two separate occasions When Donna came home to find spots of blood on the doll's hand and chest She contacted a paranormal investigation team for answers The two investigators named Ed and Lorraine Warren Determined that the spirit of a young girl named Annabelle Higgins was to blame She had been killed and her body had been found in the exact same area where Donna now lived Except it was just a bare field back then Donna and her roommate gave Annabelle permission to live inside of the doll And they gave it to the Warrens for safekeeping The doll possessed by Annabelle is now in a parallel museum owned by the Warrens She is still causing trouble According to them one visitor in particular would not stop mocking Annabelle He challenged her to bring him harm and she accepted According to the Warrens on his way home The man hid a tree while riding his motorcycle and did not survive Number seven The salty ghost There's a haunted mansion in Newport, Rhode Island with two very haunted chairs The bellcourt mansion was built in 1894 by Oliver Bellcourt It was just basically some rich guy who wanted a place to show off his huge collection of medieval stuff Unfortunately, when you put it on old armor, books and other antiques on the same roof You sometimes wind up with a completely haunted estate And that's exactly what happened And the place is now home to two old haunted salt chairs If you're wondering what a salt chair is It's basically a chair that was made especially for the person who was sitting closest to the salt during meals Salt used to be a precious resource a long time ago And so sitting by the salt was a big enough deal that you got a special chair for it Apparently whoever was in charge of the salt back then still lingers around the chairs to this day And they don't want to give up their position as head of the table Visitors who sit in either two of the salt chairs Reportedly feel anxious, ill, or even like they're being electrocuted One of the chairs even shot out a bolt Of lightning in front of 70 witnesses, the mansion owner says Another time a person was launched six feet across the room when they tried to sit down Oftentimes visitors who are brave enough to take a seat Say that it feels like there's already somebody sitting there There's also a haunted helmet that screams on its own And a fixed mirror that casts a moving reflection But we like the ghost who throws people on the floor the most Number 6 The Iceman Comet Utsi is the name of a prehistoric caveman Who was preserved by
