Good morning ladies and gentlemen and thank you for your attendance at this Faculty of Science graduation ceremony. The official proceedings will begin shortly and in a moment the graduands will enter the auditorium and I shall invite you to stand. They will be followed by the academic procession and then the official party. As the official party enters we invite you to join the singing of the traditional graduation song, Gari Amos. Please then take your seats as the Chancellor takes his seat. If you're carrying a cell phone please ensure it's either turned off now or made silent and whilst you're welcome to take photos please move back to your seat immediately after having taken them and please do not stand in the aisles. At the end of the ceremony the Chancellor will invite the gathering to sing God to Fair New Zealand. Please then remain standing following the end of the anthem as the processions leave the auditorium and once the last graduates have left you will also be invited to leave. Would you now please all stand. Inna mana, inna hui wha, tinakoutou, tinakoutou, tinakoutou katoa. Vice Chancellor, Pro-Chancellor, Council members, members of the University, special guests, graduands, families and friends. I extend a warm welcome to this the fourth spring graduation ceremony for 2011 of the University of Auckland. This week the University is bestowing a total of 2,708 qualifications on some 2,450 students. At this ceremony degrees will be conferred and diplomas awarded in the Faculty of Science. A total of 430 in person plus a further 169 in absentia. I am privileged as Chancellor to preside at spring graduation for a third year. The regularity of graduation ceremonies makes them no less special for the University and me personally than for those of you being capped here today, many for the first time. It is also a pleasure to return to the Auckland Town Hall, long our traditional graduation venue for the first time since 2009. The Aotea Centre which we now use has been temporarily captured for rugby World Cup purposes. Graduation is a festive event rich in history, pomp and colour with a lively array of contemporary touches. Here in Auckland our mix of cultures and ethnicities can be seen in the striking variety of dress and adornments worn by graduands. Today is one of hard earned celebration.  The University represented by the Council and academic staff members seated behind me and those many staff who control proceedings with remarkable precision takes equal pleasure at this hugely significant day for each and every one of you. The University of Auckland is deservedly ranked as one of the best universities in the world. Your qualifications will always serve you well in this country and abroad whether in qualifying you for a satisfying career or in leading to more advanced study. Or simply as a route to personal and intellectual enrichment. In today's ever changing workforce you cannot afford to stop learning. So please keep in mind our enormous range of postgraduate opportunities. I urge you as alumni of New Zealand's leading university always to remember your alma mater. We depend increasingly on our graduates for support, moral and political as well as financial. Your advocacy and influence are vital in encouraging government and the community at large to fund universities so they can generate the knowledge needed to drive a productive and competitive economy and to create a full and satisfying life for all New Zealanders. At the same time philanthropy has become critically important to our university funding major capital projects, scholarships and professorial chairs. The crucial contribution of major research universities is not well understood and therefore insufficiently acknowledged. It is inconceivable that a developed progressive 21st century nation can maintain that status without strong internationally recognised research based universities such as the University of Auckland. Our innovative research is vital for long term sustainable economic growth and social cohesion never more so than in the testing times we face in the wake of the global recession and the devastating Christchurch earthquakes. Universities equip graduates like you not simply for the jobs of today but for future careers not yet imagined. Universities need greater investment by government, the commercial sector and private philanthropy, not less. But that's sufficient for me on the challenges facing our institution for today is unquestionably your day. I congratulate you and trust that you will long cherish memories of your graduation in September 2011. We welcome as our speaker this morning Professor John Montgomery who holds the chair of marine science at this University of Auckland. He is the director of our Lee Marine Labority which is effectively our marine campus with state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities and an impressive new interpretive centre for visitors. He is also on the board of Antarctica New Zealand. Professor Montgomery gained a BSc Honours Degree at the University of Otago and both a PhD and a Doctor of Science from the University of Bristol. His scientific work sits at the interface of marine science and neuroscience. He has published extensively on the sensory behaviour and physiology of fish including hearing flow sensors and the novel electrosensory system of sharks and rays. His work has been recognised by election to the Royal Society of New Zealand and International Brain Research Organisation Fellowship and the Fulbright Scholarship. He is also active in promoting marine science and communicating science to the public. Professor Montgomery. Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, University colleagues, graduands, parents, family and friends, it's a great privilege to be invited to give this graduate address to you and to share the celebration. A ceremony such as this is a public tribute to the good decisions made, the hard work done and the support provided by families, friends and teachers. And it's such a treat to see all the support here, the cultural diversity and the depth of talent of you the graduands. Your moment is shortly to come when you'll cross the stage here and receive your degree and we are here to celebrate that moment. One way I like to think about a moment like this is it's a bit like an hourglass or given the lot of time perhaps more like an old fashioned egg timer. I don't know whether you know the ones I mean or not but there's an hourglass shape made of glass with sand in it and that when you turn it upside down the sand flows through that narrow neck of the glass and marks the passage of time so when the sand has run out the hour all the time has come to take the egg off the boil. Today's graduation is like an hourglass in that all the choices and hard work of the past flow through a point in time and open up the potential of the future. Some of these moments like the ceremony today are surrounded by tradition and illuminated by the stage lights. These moments are easy to see and important to treasure but I'd also like to in this address shine the spotlight on other less obvious less public moments that are no less important in the path that has led you to the completion of your degree. There will have been moments and I'm sure that all of you can bring them to mind that were less well signposted but equally important. Inspiration from a particular teacher, a specific commitment of support from your family or a friend who's laid down a challenge which has led you down this path and to the ceremony today. I can certainly remember critical path choices in my own pre-degree days as a last year high school student having a chat on Caster Bay Beach with Professor John Morton who in effect then held the position that I now hold at the university. The upshot of that meeting was a clear choice to study biology at the university despite not having done so at school. Then again as a second year student attending a lunchtime lecture by visiting Professor Eric Denton who was the director of the Lee Marine Laboratory at Plymouth and through subsequent contact with Professor Denton he became my PhD advisor and this in turn led to a lifetime's interest and work in the crossover area between neuroscience and marine science as you heard in the introduction. Now let me just drill into that a little bit. Neuroscience and marine science may sound like an odd mix but marine animals have formed important models for the study of the nervous system and for fundamental neuroscience. To give you just two examples at the Plymouth lab about 20 years before I arrived there to do my PhD the discovery had been made of how nerves conduct action potentials and hence transmit information from one part of the brain to another or from the nervous system out to the muscles. This work was actually done on squid by two researchers who names were Hodgkin and Huxley and neuroscience they're very well known for that contribution. Perhaps a little less known but interesting in terms of the theme that I want to pursue today is that they shared their Nobel Prize with John Eccles but although an Australian did this part of the work for the Nobel Prize that he shared with them here in New Zealand. In addition to that he was responsible for setting up New Zealand's first marine laboratory because he was well aware and understood the importance of marine animals as models for neuroscience. If you need further convincing there's just one other example of the way in which marine science and neuroscience intersect. The second example is more recent a scientist called Eric Candell again working at a marine lab was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2002 for discovering the cellular basis of learning. He did this work on a marine slug not unlike the ones that have been washing up on our beaches the last couple of summers and poisoning the dogs. Understanding the basis of how nerves work and how learning occurs in the nervous system are fundamental discoveries. In science these discoveries are again like passing through the hourglass a point in time a particular discovery that opens up a wealth of energy potential. I've specifically mentioned Candell's work because amongst other things it has given us real insight into how we see and remember these important moments in our lives. It's all about neuromodulation and it works pretty much the same in sea slugs as it does in us. There's a bit of the brain called the amygdala that sits next to the area where memories are laid down. What this bit of the brain recognizes recognize the significance of what's happening around us. If the amygdala fires up it sends out the neuromodulation signal to the adjacent brain area and you'll lay down a strong memory of that particular occasion. You don't have to know this to appreciate the significance of your ceremony today but knowing it may help you recognize and see these moments of opportunity in the future. Some will be well signposted others may not you can coach your mind's eye to see these special moments of opportunity. These are the moments that will open up the potential of your future. It's up to you to see the moment. So let me finish by again extending my congratulations to you all. We celebrate your achievements and your moment at this ceremony today. Thank you Professor Montgomery for a very interesting speech and reminding our members in particular that they are laying down strong memories today and no doubt seizing the moment. This is a meeting of council and convocation of the university for a ceremony of conferring degrees and awarding of diplomas. At this ceremony the Pro Chancellor Ian Parton and I will be conferring degrees and awarding diplomas. I now invite the Pro Chancellor to award the diplomas and confer the degrees in the first half of this ceremony. Thank you Chancellor.

Cavalcade of America, presented by Dupont. This evening the Dupont Cavalcade brings you a picture of Thomas Jefferson as a great leader in American education. At the close of our broadcast in place of our regular story of chemistry, we shall have the privilege of presenting Mr. Pierre S. Dupont, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Dupont Company. It is particularly appropriate that we have Mr. Dupont with us on this program, since his great-great-grandfather Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours had much to do with Thomas Jefferson's plans for free education, and indeed appears as a character in tonight's story. In 1802, Jefferson himself encouraged the elder Dupont's son, E.I. Dupont, to found the company which after 136 years still bears his name. From this beginning grew the ideals of chemical research responsible today for so many better things for better living. As an overture, Don Voorhees and the Dupont Cavalcade Orchestra play Virginia from the musical comedy of the same name which has been dedicated to the University of Virginia. 1743, 195 years ago today at Shadwell in Albemarle County, Virginia, the son of Peter Jefferson and Jane Randolph, Thomas Jefferson's aristocratic environment seemed only to intensify his democratic ideals. In the year 1760, three years after his father's death, he entered William and Mary College situated in Williamsburg, then the capital of the Royal Colony of Virginia. Some months later, Chancellor George Whith, the ablest lawyer in the colony, calls on Governor Francis Focke in the handsome mansion known as the Governor's Palace. Your Excellency, Chancellor Whith. Welcome, Chancellor. Thank you, sir. Did I hear you playing as I came along the passageway? Yes. This is a new harpsichord. Oh. And it sent me from Vienna with a packet of the latest tunes by a young composer named Joseph Heiden. I wanted you and Dr. Small to hear them. Isn't the doctor come with you? He said he'd meet me here. He stopped a fetching new student of his, a young man of whom he thinks highly. A student, eh? I had no idea. Dr. Small thought our discussion so elementary. He says the youngster has uncommon brains. Oh. And he's heir to one of the largest plantations in the West. And, eh, in addition, he plays the violin. I would be interested to meet this prodigy. Your Excellency. Yes, Aspen. Dr. Small. Oh, come in, doctor. I'm very glad to see you. Thank you, Governor. Good evening, Chancellor. Good evening, doctor. With your permission, I'd like to present a new cupola, friend of mine, Mr. Thomas Jefferson. Chancellor Whitt, you have met. You are most welcome, Mr. Jefferson. Thank you, sir. It's an honor. I appreciate it. Then you don't share the feelings of many of the planters in your section of the colony. Most of them don't feel honored to meet the royal governor. I meant I was honored to meet the man, sir, not the officer. You have an analytical mind, I see. Well, I'm afraid I'm to blame for that. I teach him both mathematics and philosophy, and he seems to combine the most prominent features of each. I think he's destined for the law. Someday I hope to persuade you to receive him as your pupil, Chancellor. Your recommendations bear great weight, doctor. I hope you like William and Mary, Mr. Jefferson. Very much indeed, Chancellor. I never thought I'd see such a beautiful city. But it seems a shame that Virginians would travel to Williamsburg to get an education or else do thou. They're fortunate to receive one even here. What would you have us do, Mr. Jefferson? Move the college closer to your home? No, I didn't mean to move William and Mary anywhere. That's needed here. But I believe we need colleges in every district in the colony. Grammar schools for everyone. Thoughts, Mr. Jefferson? Would you educate the common people? Yes, sir, everyone. The farmer and the craftsman have as much right to an education as we have. The more our people know, the better off our country will be. Why, that idea is almost revolutionary. I warned you this fledgling could fly, sir. He'll have a long flight before our rich planners pay to educate the populace. Once the schools will bill, perhaps, the people would pay to educate themselves. Even if they would, your planters would not permit it. Nor would I. Then, sir, it will be done in spite of them. I beg your pardon, sir. Where? Mr. Jefferson. Every man has a right to an education. It's a shameful thing that there should be as many human beings in the colony who cannot even read or write. Would you make the gentleman of everyone, Mr. Jefferson? The gentleman is superior only because he keeps others in ignorance. There's no honor in his position. Men are born free and equal. They have an equal right to grow in mind as well as body. No one has the right to keep them from it. Well, sir... I'm sorry, sir. I had meant to be so forward. We'll say no more of it. I understand you play the violin, Mr. Jefferson. Yes, sir. I explained our musical evenings your excellency and asked Mr. Jefferson to bring his violin with him. Yes, sir. You have it with you. I have here some of the latest tunes of Joseph Hayden. Perhaps you would like to try one with me? I should be glad to, sir. I hope, Dr. Small, that your protégé is not as radical about his music as he is in his ideas on education. I hope to be able to follow you there, sir. If I'm afraid you and Dr. Small have a hard time ahead teaching our Mr. Jefferson some of his lessons, we can, but teach him theories. He'll have to learn a practical side from his own neighbors. My neighbors are not all planters, sir. My nearest neighbors are my workers. He's a lawyer already with. Here, let's see about the music. Are you ready, Mr. Jefferson? Whenever you are, sir. One, two, one, two. In spite of his independence and fiery disposition, the red-headed young student became a frequent and welcomed visitor at the governor's palace. And in his memoirs, written many years later, he credits much of his instruction to what he calls his four-cornered meetings with Dr. Small, Governor Poquet, and Chancellor Will. He finished his studies at William & Mary in two years, and through Dr. Small's influence took up the study of law with a chancellor. In 1767, he was admitted to the bar, and his success was immediate. In 1769, he was elected to the House of Burgesses. In February, a year later, we find him leaving one of the sessions with George Wiff, who is also a member. Tom, I'm certainly proud of you, and your keen interest and your knowledge of the law. I am interested in the law, Mr. Wiff, but I wish I knew better what the law really is. You must know the law. You wouldn't be allowed to practice. What I mean is I've seen copies of many of the old laws obscure in both meaning and printing. Some of the older laws have but one faded copy in existence. Why? How do you know all this? I've been collecting them. Some copies are unique, many conflict. You mean to get ahead of us all by owning copies of all the laws? No, sir, I mean to make them public property. I want to codify them, publish them. You would make a code of the whole law, the colony? Yes, sir, and I'd begin a systematic effort to repeal those that are no longer practical or useful. But publishing such a code would cost a good deal. I ask no financial recompense, only one reward. The addition of one law that I would draw up myself. What would be the objective of such a law? To establish religious freedom in Virginia. A praiseworthy ambition. But one I'm afraid which will find little favor. Four, there's someone looking for you. Well, that's one of the men for my plantation. Here, boy. Master Jesse. I've written all night to bring you this letter. What's the matter? Is anyone here? Your home is shared with him, Master Jesse. It burned to the ground. Burned to the ground? Was anyone hurt? No, Master Jesse. But we didn't save Stignorstone. My books? Oh, go on, Master. Except when we did save your fiddle. Save my fiddle. But not my books. I'm sorry, Tom. That's bad news indeed. Your home destroyed. Yes, my books I feel worse about. Well, I'll have to start collecting again. Jefferson started a new home on the top of the hillside at Monticello. And that and his political interests occupied most of his time. The bill for religious freedom did not pass until 1786, ten years after he had written the most famous of all American documents, the Declaration of Independence. These were two of the three achievements in which Jefferson had the greatest pride. The third took longer to accomplish than the others. In the year 1800, when Jefferson was vice president of the United States, he sent an invitation to an old friend, a former official of the Department of Commerce, in the government of France, an educator and administrator of experience and reputation, Pierre Samuel DuPont in Amour. DuPont arrives in Philadelphia where he finds Jefferson in conversation with a man whom we will call Mr. Woody. Monsieur Jefferson, it is a great pleasure to meet you once again. My dear Monsieur DuPont, you've come just in the nick of time. I'm having an argument with my fellow Virginian here. Now Woody, we have you outnumbered. Oh, Mr. Woody, this is Monsieur DuPont, a gentleman who was very cordial to me when I was in France. I'm very glad to know you, sir. Take this chair of the fire. Monsieur DuPont. Monsieur James. Mr. Woody owns one of the finest plantations in Virginia, not much larger than your own, Jefferson, but more productive of everything but education. With education we were discussing, Monsieur DuPont. An interesting subject, Monsieur. I claim that my family and I are as well educated as any in Virginia, Mr. Jefferson. I only wish you could say that all people in Virginia were as well educated as you, sir. What would the people do with education? It would make them dissatisfied. I think it would make them better and more useful citizens. It would interfere with their work. It would make them work more intelligently, make them constructive thinkers. Monsieur DuPont, can't you help me reason with this Virginia Pharisee here? I am afraid, Monsieur Jefferson, that no man can reason except with his own thoughts. There is a debt of service due from every man to his country, proportionate to the bounties which nature and fortune have made it out to him. The United States are more advanced in their educational facilities than most countries. Children are encouraged to read and comment. Controversy has developed documentation and given room for the exercise of logic. This country has a large proportion of moderately well-informed men. But that does not mean that the general education cannot be improved. And if improvement is a possibility, it is a duty. Monsieur DuPont, you are highly informed. I wonder if you would favor me by writing down your plans for a perfect university. I very much appreciate your advice before I take up my idea with the legislature. I would be very glad to do all that I can to help, sir. It will get you nowhere, Jefferson. Because I warn you that I'll fight you through the state in every election on the floor of the legislature itself. Before I'll pay one penny to educate any children, but now... Then let me tell you, Woody, that a system of general instruction which shall reach every description of our citizens from the richest to the poorest has always been my ideal. Last and always, sir. Pierre Samuel DuPont at the request of Thomas Jefferson prepared a treatise on national education in the United States of America which was to influence Jefferson in his continued efforts to establish an educational system. After Jefferson became president, he tried to get a national university provided for by an amendment to the Constitution. Failing this, he concentrated all his efforts in fathering the first state university. After his retirement from office, he became trustee of Albemarle Academy, which became Central College. And finally, in January, 1819, his charter was changed to that of the University of Virginia. On the board with Jefferson were ex-president James Madison and president James Monroe. Jefferson was unanimously appointed the university's first head or rector. One unfortunate occurrence marred the beginnings of a new university. But Jefferson managed matters in his customary straightforward way. In the rector's study, Jefferson talks with Thomas Cooper, the director of chemistry. Dr. Cooper, I'm in a dilemma that only you can help me solve. Anything in my power, Mr. Jefferson? I appointed you to the chair of chemistry because of one thing. I believed and still believe that you are the most suitable man for that position in the country. Thank you, sir. Not only your friendship with priestly, but your own friendship with priestly, but your own profound education and capacity made me feel that my judgment was correct. Is anything wrong with me or my work, sir? What I have to say is difficult for a man who worked for years to pass the bill for religious freedom in the state of Virginia. Unfortunately, certain people of our state have raised a hue to cry, Dr. Cooper. You mean because I do not entirely conform to their religious beliefs? Yes. And as this is the state university supported by state funds, they feel they have a right to make certain demands. Mr. Jefferson, I thank you for being frank. I've enjoyed working for you and with you. I realize my beliefs are frowned on by most of our citizens, but I would be the last man to ask for education. Would you accept my resignation? With regret, Dr. Cooper. If I did not ask this very difficult favor of yours, it's possible that we could not continue the support of the state. If they ask it of me, I shall also resign. For education itself is more important than any individual. Jefferson's resignation was never demanded. It stands for the University of Virginia where it was carried out, and it stands today as a monument to his genius. In the year 1825, Thomas Jefferson, now advanced in years, is waiting on the classic campus of his beloved university as a young man approaches it. I beg your pardon, sir. Could you direct me to the administration office? I'm going there myself. I'll be there to show you the way. I hardly believe the new university is really opening today. We've wanted it so long, and, well, I've been watching its buildings going up. Are you going to follow a course of studies here? Yes, sir. I hope it won't be a waste of your father's money, young man. Well, my father has nothing to do with it, sir. So he is willing to spare me from the forge. He's a blacksmith, sir. You have a scholarship then from the state? Well, yeah. But to my way of thinking, the scholarship comes more from the doings of Mr. Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson? Oh, nonsense. He's just a pedant, an old busybody with a lot of crazy ideas. Lots of people say so. Known with any sense would say so. You know him, then? No. Not in person. Only his works, but no good American could speak such ill of him. This is a free country. Neither you nor anyone has the right to make free with another man's good name.  Have you no respect for my gray hairs, young man? What? Now that they've brought you to no more wisdom than this. Well spoken, sir. What? The university will be fortunate to have such brave young thinkers as you. Well, you'll change about quickly, sir. Yeah, now you must excuse me now, young man. Here come two of my friends. They've been waiting for me. Well, one of them is President Monroe. Yes, and the short man, nearest us, is a member of the board. Ah, hello, Madison. I kept you waiting. No, Jefferson. Monroe and I knew you'd want to be alone here for a while today looking over your handy work. Mr. Jefferson? You're Mr. Thomas Jefferson? Oh, forgive me, sir. For what? Oh, I was a bad man of the way I spoke to you. Well, then, you see, I'm not a gentleman, and I reckon I never will be. You are a gentleman in the best and broadest sense. And here at our university, we want freedom of thought, and none at all. Well, sir, I... I only meant to defend the truth as I thought it. That does you honor, sir. Madison, I'll give the university a motto inspired by my new friendship with this young man here. And he shall know the truth. And the truth shall make you free. You should be very proud of your university, Jefferson. I am proud. Grateful. Grateful that I've lived to see it. July 4, 1826, his great work done. Jefferson died and was buried under a tree at his beloved Monticello. On the stone that marked his last resting place was carved the epitaph he wrote for himself. Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom and father of the University of Virginia. For these three great achievements, for his service to his country and for his faith in men, DuPont salutes the memory of Thomas Jefferson, one of the foremost leaders in the cavalcade of America. We present at this time Mr. Pierre S. DuPont, great-great-grandson of Pierre Samuel DuPont de Nemours, and chairman of the board of directors of the DuPont Company founded 136 years ago by the original Pierre DuPont son, Elefaire Irénée. 20 years ago, Mr. DuPont decided that the public school system in Delaware could and should be made a model for other states to follow since then he has served as guiding hand on the state board of education and has helped build out of his own personal funds 120 public school and university building. During that time, Delaware's ranking in education has moved up from 36 to 6th place among the states. Mr. DuPont, how does your great-great-grandfather's plan for public education strike you in the light of present-day development in your own experience? To answer that, I'll have to start right off by taking issue with my respected ancestor. He thought of education in terms of one great national system controlled by a central government because in France there were no state divisions and France knew nothing of the advantages to accrue from competition between states. It is fortunate that we did not follow that part of DuPont's advice. Much of the progress we have made in education since that time is due to that fact. As Jefferson planned, our school systems have remained local affairs supported and supervised by people of the localities they serve and organized to meet local conditions. And with each state having its own educational system, the competition has kept them on their toes in the struggle to make progress. Well, regarding your own work in public education, Mr. DuPont, where did you find the greatest need for improvement? Twenty years ago, we in Delaware thought the first step toward better education was to select good teachers to arrange a better course of studies and to compel attendance. But we put the card before the horse. We now know that the first requirements are modern buildings, not of the little red schoolhouse type, but of buildings fitted for general education and for vocational training, recreation and the like. Large well-designed buildings with present surroundings and facilities to make school interesting not only attract better teachers but are more powerful in enforcing attendance than any attendance officer. In Delaware, public school attendance has more than doubled in the last 20 years. And whereas most of our boys and girls used to quit school between the sixth and eighth grade, they'd go through at least two years of high school. Well, then you feel, Mr. DuPont, that in addition to general cultural courses, students should be given vocational guidance. Training along practical lines brings out a student's natural abilities and equips him to earn a better living. The young people who studied some trade or vocation in school have made much better records in getting and holding jobs. What is the DuPont Company doing to encourage young people to take advanced training to fit them for better jobs in industry? One of the most interesting to me is the DuPont Fellowship Plan established 20 years ago. This plan assists your unusually promising graduate students to continue their studies and research in chemistry and chemical engineering. Universities themselves select the students who are deemed worthy of the fellowship and also name research subjects. Last year, post-graduate and post-doctorate fellowships were awarded to 24 advanced students in 18 universities. I think the plan went into effect. More than 360 awards have been made. Well, Mr. DuPont, what in your opinion does all this effort to provide an education for everybody really mean to America? It means that our ability to appreciate, to desire, to produce and to use the finer things in life is steadily increasing. The people of the United States endure more comforts and conveniences than any people ever did before. And with education, working hand in hand with science and industry, the world tells a standard of living that the future promises for America. Well, thank you, Mr. DuPont. I'm sure that note of confidence in this country carries on the tradition set by your ancestor, Pierre Samuel DuPont in the Moor, and his illustrious friend, Thomas Jefferson. A story of the Poor H Club, the great farm youth organization of today, will be the subject of our broadcasts when next week, at the same time, DuPont again presents The Cavalcade of America. Here's the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Ever wondered what kind of jobs you can get out of a Bachelor of Commerce? We went on campus to find out. My major is accounting and banking. I'm really hoping to get into insolventy work. It seems really interesting. I'm studying a Bachelor of Commerce and I'm majoring in accounting and tax. I'm hoping to become a professional tax practitioner. I'm studying the Bachelor of Commerce, I'm majoring in finance and performance system. Probably something in finance, in mining. I'm studying commerce and I'm majoring in management and human resource management. Coming in the mining industry made me like a management role. Studying management and finance. I'm hoping to get my own cafe that I can run on my own like with some friends or like some of my family members to get involved in.


Welcome to the approach to chest pain in the emergency department. You're working in the emergency department and your next patient is complaining of chest pain. What should you do? Like with all emergency department patients, we start with ABC. We need to ensure the patient's airways patent. We want to support their breathing and give them oxygen if they're hypoxic. We want to give fluids if the patient has low blood pressure. We also want to put the patient onto a cardiac monitor. While we talk to the patient about their history, we want to get an ECG as soon as possible. A chest x-ray should also be ordered. And if the patient is unstable, the patient can have a portable chest x-ray. You'll want to review the ECG with your staff as soon as possible. Once you've made sure the patient is stable and the ECG looks normal, then you want to talk to them about the history to find out more about the chest pain. There are many diagnosis that can give patient chest pain. In the emergency department, we're really interested in ruling out the ticking time bombs or the deadly diagnoses. What are they? They include acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, pericarditis and pericardiofusion, pneumothorax and esophageal rupture. These are the six deadly diagnoses we must keep in mind when seeing patients with chest pain in the emergency department. You want to take a thorough history. In the next section, we'll talk about what the typical history for each of the deadly diagnosis is. Also keep in mind that the patient may not say the word pain. They may instead describe their feeling as a discomfort, a pressure and ache, particularly in the elderly and the diabetics. For the history in patients with potential ACS, the pain or the discomfort can be retrosternal, epigastric, and the left side of the right side of the chest. It can radiate to the shoulders, down the arms or up to the jaw. The pain can be worse with activity or it can be decreased by rest. The patient can describe the pain as sharp, pressure, crushing, or it can be very vague. Associated symptoms can include diaphoresis, shortness of breath and nausea. For pulmonary embolism, the pain is usually on one side of the chest and typically does not radiate. The pain will increase with inspiration. Associated symptoms can include shortness of breath and syncope. The pain for aortic dissection is sharp and tearing. The pain can be mid-scapular between the two shoulder blades in the back. Associated symptoms can include neurological symptoms such as limb weakness. For pericardial fusion and pericarditis, the pain is sharp, pleuritic, and changes with position. The pain is usually in the anterior chest, either central or the left side. It can be associated with drawn as a breath and syncope. The pain for pneumothorax is sharp, pleuritic, and on either side of the chest. Associated symptoms will include shortness of breath based on the size of the pneumothorax. The pain for the esophageal rupture tends to be in the middle of the chest. Associated symptoms can include fever. You'll want to take a history that includes the risk factors for each of these six deadly diagnosis. We'll go through them quickly here. For ACS, the risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, family history of coronary artery disease, and smoking. For PE, it includes immobilization, previous history of venous thromboembolism, and medications such as hormones. Active malignancy also increases the risk of pulmonary embolism. Risk factors for aortic dissection include connective tissue disease and hypertension. Pericarditis is usually triggered by an upper respiratory tract infection. Pericardial fusion can be associated with malignancy. Risk factors for pneumothorax include trauma and previous history of pneumothorax. Esophageal rupture can happen after repeated forceful vomiting or post endoscopic procedure. What are we looking for on physical examination? For the cardiac exam, you want to listen for S1S2. Decreased heart sounds can happen in patients with pericardial fusion. You might hear a pericardial rub in patients with pericarditis. For the lungs, we might hear decreased breath sounds in patients with pneumothorax. Once after you've done a history in physical, you should have a better idea of which deadly diagnosis you're most worried about. From that point on, you can then decide on the specific investigation and management. In summary, we talk about the six deadly diagnosis in patients with chest pain in the emergency department. Remember that we need to first rule these out before we can go further. They include ACS, PE, aortic dissection, pericarditis and pericardial fusion, pneumothorax and esophageal rupture. Please refer to the specific topic for a more detailed description. Thank you for watching.


As Vietnam continues to develop rapidly and become more economically liberal, the demand for learning English has increased dramatically and, as a result, Vietnam has now become an attractive destination for a Tezal course. Our Tezal course in Ho Chi Minh City is highly regarded and after completing the course you will find plenty of job opportunities for teaching English in Vietnam and elsewhere in the region. Vietnam has, in the recent past, suffered an image problem, largely due to the conflict there in the 60s and early 70s. However, the country is developing rapidly and is attracting more and more visitors due to the incredible beauty of the country, the fascinating culture and the friendliness of the people. There are many beautiful beaches that run along the Vietnamese coast and inland you can find green patty fields tended to by rice farmers in their conical hats and towering mountains covered with rainforest. Despite its rapid economic growth the country has retained its heart and culture. Ho Chi Minh City is the country's largest city and has a population of approximately 7 million people. Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is the financial heart of the country and is regarded as the most modern city in Vietnam. Here you can see a city of contrasts where old colonial buildings stand side by side with modern skyscrapers. The old and the new appear to mix comfortably in this fascinating city. The Vietnam conflict is something that still intrigues visitors and quite a number of Ho Chi Minh City's tourist attractions focus on this topic. In the center of the city you can find the War Remnants Museum and Reunification Palace. It's also possible to take an excursion out of the city to see the famous Coochee Tunnels. Ho Chi Minh City has many other attractions and there are many beautiful temples and pagodas that can be visited both in the city itself and in the surrounding area. Other interesting trips can be made to Vietnam's lovely beaches or perhaps escape from the bustle of the city with a boat trip on the Saigon River.


Here we are in our QuickBooks online test company file using the accountant view as opposed to the business view you can toggle between the two views by going to the cog up top switch in the view down below. We've been looking at e-commerce situations where we sell inventory not on ground not in a store but rather online in the cloud with the help and use of third party applications for example a Shopify or Amazon as examples no matter which method that we are using we're typically going to have the bank feeds as part of our integration to pull the information into our QuickBooks system. So if I go into my banking here we've got our integrations of our checking account and our PayPal account if you haven't set these up in the past that's okay you can kind of upload the data in a practice problem situation as we go and set up the accounts as you do that if you want to follow along with the practice problem and prior presentations we've been thinking about a scenario where we look at our Shopify store we look at the reports in the Shopify store we pull that information into our system with a journal entry and then we also are going to see the payout information which is in the finance the payout reports and you can have a similar process with other softwares like an amazon we might do an amazon example as well but we talked about how we can do that from an excel standpoint in prior presentations and try to use a journal entry to break out more information rather than just waiting for the data to hit the bank because then we're not going to have the breakout of the more information so as we think about this method then we had our data on the left hand side where this is mirroring what we get from the PayPal this is this is the data on the sales data and then these are the pay the payments that are going to come out through PayPal and through the Shopify payments that are going to ultimately hit our bank account so now I'm just going to mirror the concept of these payments actually coming through and hitting our bank account by setting up our QuickBooks bank feeds and I'm just going to import the deposits that are going to hit the bank accounts just so we can kind of see them in our example problem from a QuickBooks standpoint so we did this in a prior presentation if you've been following along with prior presentations here but to to upload data into QuickBooks from bank feed data we can just make an excel file that looks like this date amount and you might want to put description here I'll keep it at bank memo this is what the bank feed data is it's just going to have increases or decreases from the bank the bank knows when the money went in or in out it knows the amount and it knows some memo data it'll have more memo data if there's electronic transfers so this is this amount that we're going to tie out here is this is going to be I'm calling it the the bank feed for the this is for the PayPal account so I'm just mirroring in our practice problem what happened here in the payout and I'm going to assume the payout PayPal is going to hit us with a five dollar and fifty five fee so the amount that's going to hit our checking account I'm going to say is this 1294 so I'll put that here so I'm going to say we're going to work in October 25th 2025 in the future 1294 and that's the amount of that's going to be the Shopify pay all right let's go ahead and save this I'm going to say file save as and I want to save it as a CSV file and so I'm going to change it from an excel worksheet to a CSV comma slice and that's what I can upload then to QuickBooks I'm going to say this is going to be bank feed let's say number two and I'll say okay


Three tips for how to get glue off of your clamps. Ola, Woodworkers, Paul Carlson here, a small workshop guy. You're trying to make your clamps work and they just won't slide on the rail because you got big hard-blooded glue. Three quick tips. One, heat them up to the point where the glue is off and then scrape it off.  Same process that's used for removing rust. And three, you could buy a solvent that is designed specifically to soften water-based glue, such as type bond two. As always, in three-minute overviews, I'll give you my overview and then I'll link you to a couple of other videos in the description. Those would have either more detail on the same approach or talk about different approach. You might have this around in your workshop. It's just the torch for doing copper piping. If not, it's not very expensive. You might consider it if you've got a lot of clamps to clean in the future.  Get it kind of broad-based. You're not trying to melt the metal, of course. You're just trying to get the glue hot and pliable. And so it doesn't take very long. That was about maybe 15 or 20 seconds. And if it gets cold on you again and hard to do, then just heat it up a little bit more. That's my tip. Hope you found it useful. Before I sign off today, I'd like to ask you to do three things for me. Comment on the videos. Give me some feedback. Like the videos and share them. And of course, most importantly, subscribe if you haven't already. And to hit that little bell so you can be notified when I upload new videos. Thank you very much for doing those things. Small Workshop Guy, signing off.


Now, I welcome to the session on Distance Vector Routing Algorithm ok. In the previous video we have discussed about what is a routing, what is a routing algorithm, what are the different types of routing algorithm. Today we will discuss about one of the routing algorithm that is Distance Vector Routing Algorithm ok. Let us see the learning outcome of the algorithm. At the end of the session students will be able to describe the concept of Distance Vector Routing Algorithm ok. Agenda in this video we will we will discuss about Distance Vector Routing Algorithm, advantages and disadvantages of this algorithm working of Distance Vector Routing Algorithm with the help of examples ok. Let us see one by one. What is routing algorithm? Definition of routing algorithm. Two nodes are say to be when we have to say two nodes are say to be neighbors, you both are directly connected to the same network ok. And this we can this concept we can call it as in Distance Vector Routing Algorithm. Two dynamic algorithms in particular Distance Vector Routing Algorithm and the Link State Routing Algorithm are the most familiar routing algorithms. Out of these two we will discuss only first one that is Distance Vector Routing Algorithm ok. This algorithm can operates by having each router maintain a table giving the best known distance to each other. While transmitting the data from one station to another station or from one node to the another node the router maintains a routing table giving the best result ok. These tables are updated whatever these tables are they these tables are updated by exchanging the information with the neighbors ok. Eventually every router knows the best link to each reach each destination. It means while transmitting any data packet from node 1 to node 2 all the information will be stored in the table ok. Each router exchange the information with neighbors router and each nodes keeps the distance vector and next hop counter. It is a main point each router exchange the information with neighbors neighbors routers and each nodes keep the distance vector and next hop vector ok. One entry for each destination network the vector of link cost for each directly attached network ok. It requires transmission of information by each router to all neighbors distance vector that contains estimated podcast for all destination networks exchange the exchanges may take long time to propagate ok. The table at each node also guides the packet to design node by showing the next hop routing ok. See data to be available in each router router table per destination here we have to distances we have to calculate outgoing line and then distance to all the neighbors ok. The one question then after that we can go to the examples of routing algorithm. What is this question? List some advantages sign disadvantages of distance vector routing algorithm and then now pass the video and answer the given question. Now let us wait for one minute just you can answer this given question ok. Now we can go to the answer first advantages of distance vector routing algorithm advantages are the distance vector routing protocol is easy to implement in a small network debugging is very easy in the distance vector routing protocol ok. This protocol has a very limited redundancy in a small network these are the two advantages are there. Next we can go to the disadvantages. First disadvantage is a broken link between the routers should be updated to every other router in the network. This problem is known as count to infinity ok. The time required by every router in a network to produce an accurate routing table is called convergence time ok. And then here every change in the every change in the routing table is propagated to other neighboring routers periodically which creates traffic on the network. In routing algorithm we have to use some terms convergence time and then count to infinity every time all those things these are the points will comes under the disadvantages of routing algorithm ok. Here just you can consider the example assume that each node as the cities and lines as the roads connecting them ok. Here this is a block diagram this block diagram is there in this block diagram there are different nodes are there I said here I have mentioned cities and lines what are the cities and what are the lines in this diagram it means there are total 5 nodes are there a b c d e like this the total 5 nodes are there these nodes indicates the cities from this a node to b node what is the distance is there this line indicates the roads connecting between these two cities ok. Just you can take this with the help of this example you can easily get the concept about the routing algorithm. Now we have to create the table in the previous slides we have discussed about what is how we have to create the slide and then from a to from one node to the another node while transmitting the data how the data can create through wire which node we are transmitting that they have given in this one first we have to create the table for first node if you are here you want to go to the next city it means through which node you are transmitting you are going and then what is the distance or what is the cost of that node we have to find out just we can consider first city or node as a a from a to a there is no cost because source is this one and destination is this one and then if you are going from a to b then b through b you are going what is the cost of this one is 5 here they have given b 5 the wire next node is no and then from a to c you are going the next node is c distance is 2 in this one they have given c is 2 wire nothing ok and then a to d you are going distance is 3 d is and 3 and then a to e you are going through c you are going c in this one they have given here in the last point e 6 c what indicates you are going from a to e through c node here from a to c 2 is there and then distance is 2 meter and then c 2 is 2 meter this 4 plus 2 total 6 here the cost of this one is 6 this is a s table from cta you may go to b c d and e wire different lines same pattern we have to create just you can come to the b node or bct if you want to go from bct to e c a and d how we have to same thing from b to a you are going it means distance we have to find out that is 5 and b to b is 0 and then from b to c you are going it means 4 is there that is 4 c to 4 and b to d you are going it means 8 is there that is b to d how they have given b to d this here d is there you are going via a here they have given a d a a it indicates your source is a b destination node is d you are going through a distance is 5 plus 3 total 8 cost of this one is cost of this road is 8 next from b to e directly you can the distance is 3 or cost is 3 wire there is a known heat same thing for is also if you are going from e to b e to c e to a and e to d 8 from e to a 6 is a from e to a 4 plus 2 total 6 is there via c you are going next e to b 3 is there then e to c that is the where is c e to c you are going to c it means 4 is there here and then e to d 4 is they have given that is 9 through e this one is 0 through you are going it means 0 is there next you can come to this one c through c you are going it means again for d why we have to go through a ok a to c to a 2 is a c to b 4 is a c to c 0 c to d we have to calculate this 3 2 plus 3 and then via a you are going and then d or if you are going c to e it means 4 is there here then same thing you have to create. So, based on this one d is also there here in this ones d if you are going it means d to a 3 they have given d to b again we have to go through via a and then a distance is there 5 plus 3 plus 5 8 and then again c if you are going from d to c it means 3 plus 2 is 5 total 5 through a you are going and then d to d 0 d to your e you are going it means e d first you have to go through via e it means here total 5 plus 3 a and then again 1 1 more is there that is 9 through via a you are going d to e ok. So, like this you have to create the table and then we have to find out the distance between each node sign cities. These are the references I have used to refer the I have used to prepare the above repeat ok. Thank you.

Live from Stanford University, it's theCUBE. Covering Stanford Women in Data Science 2020. Brought to you by SiliconANGLE Media. Hi, and welcome to theCUBE. I'm your host Sonia Tigare, and we're live at Stanford University covering the fifth annual WIDS Women in Data Science Conference. Joining us today is Talithia Williams, who's the Associate Professor of Mathematics at Harvey Mudd College, and host of Nova Wonders at PBS. Talithia, welcome to theCUBE. Happy to be here, thanks for having me. So, you have a lot of roles, so let's first tell us about being an Associate Professor at Harvey Mudd. Yeah, I've been at Harvey Mudd now for 11 years, so it's been really a lot of fun. I'm in the math department, but I'm a statistician by training, so I teach a lot of courses in statistics, and data science, and things like that. Very cool. Yeah. And you're also a host of a PBS show called Nova Wonders. Yeah, yeah, that came about a couple years ago. Folks at PBS reached out, they'd seen my Ted Talk, and they said, hey, it looks like you could be a fun host of this science documentary show, so Nova Wonders is a six-episode series that kinda takes viewers on a journey of what the cutting-edge questions in science are. So I got to host the show with a couple other co-hosts, and really think about what are animals saying, and so we got some really fun episodes to do what's the universe made of, was one of them, what's living inside of us. That was definitely a gross one to do, but yeah, fun to figure out all the different microorganisms that live inside our body. So yeah, it's been fun to host that show as well. And do you talk about data science and AI, and all that stuff on? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. One of the episodes, Can We Build a Brain, was dealt with a lot of data, big data, and artificial intelligence, and how good can computers get, and really sort of compared it to what we see in the movies. We're a long way away from that, but it seems like we're getting better every year at building technology that is truly intelligent. And you gave a talk today about mining for your own personal data, so give us some highlights from your talk. Yeah, so that talk sort of stemmed out of the TED talk that I gave on owning your body's data, and it's really challenging people to think about how they can use data that they collect about their bodies to help make better health decisions. And so ways that you can use your temperature data or your heart rate data, or what does this data say over time? What does it say about your body's health? And really challenging the audience to get excited about looking at that data. We have so many devices that collect data automatically for us, and often we don't pause long enough to actually look at that historical data. And so that was what the talk was about today, like here's what you can find when you actually sit down and look at that data. Well, what's the most important data you think people should be collecting about themselves? Well, definitely not your weight, because I don't wanna know what that is everyday. It depends, you know, I think for women who are in the fertile years of life, taking your daily waking temperature can tell you when your body's fertile, when you're ovulating, it can, so that information could give women during that time period really critical information. But in general, I think it's just a matter of being aware of how your body is changing. So for some people, maybe it's your blood pressure or your blood sugar, if you have high blood pressure or high blood sugar, those things become really critical to keep an eye on. And I really encourage people, whatever data they take, to be active in the understanding of and interpretation of the data. So it's not like if you take this data, you'll be healthy, you'll live to 100. It's really a matter of challenging people to own the data that they have and get excited about understanding the data that they are taking. Absolutely, putting people in charge of their own bodies. That's right, yeah, yeah. And actually speaking about that in your TED Talk, you mentioned how your doctor told you to have a C-section and you looked at the data and you said, no, I'm going to have this baby naturally. So tell us more about that. Yes, you should always listen to your medical professionals. But in this case, I will say that it was definitely more of a dialogue. And so I wasn't just sort of trying to lean on the fact that I have a PhD in statistics and I know data. It was really kind of objectively with the uncalled doctor at the time looking at the data and talking about it. And this doctor was, this was his first time seeing me. And so I think it would have been different had my personal midwife or my doctor been telling me that. But this person sort of only looked at this one chart and was making a decision without thinking about my historical data. And so I tried to bring that to the conversation and say like, let me tell you more about my body this is pregnancy number three. Like, here's how my body works. And I think this person in particular just wasn't really hearing any of that. It was like, here's my advice. We just need to do this. And I'm like, well, you know. And so as gently as possible, I tried to really share that data. And then it got to the point where it was sort of like, either you're gonna do what I say or you're gonna have to sign a waiver. And we were like, I think we'll just sign the waiver. And so that caused quite a buzz in the hospital that day. But we came back and had a very successful labor and delivery. And so yeah, it was a good decision at the time. But, you know, with that caveat that you should listen to what your doctor said.  That's right, because I don't have an MD, right? And so, you know, I'm cautious not to overstep that. But I felt like in that case, the doctor wasn't really even considering the data that I was bringing. I was, we were actually induced with our first son. But again, that was more of a conversation, more of a dialogue, here's what's happening, here's what we're concerned about, and the data to really back it up. And so I felt like in that case, like, yeah, I'm happy to go with your suggestion. But by kid number three, it was just like, no, this isn't really, yeah. Great. So you also wrote a book called Power in Numbers, The Rebel Women of Mathematics. So what inspired you to write this book and what do you hope readers take away from it? Yeah, a couple different things. I remember when I saw the movie Hidden Figures, and I spent three summers at NASA working at JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. And so I had this very fond connection to, you know, having worked at NASA. And when this movie came out, and I'm sitting there watching it, and I'm like balling, just crying, and you know, I'm like, I didn't know that there were black women who worked at NASA, like before me, you know? And so it felt, it felt, it was just so transformative for me to see these stories just sort of unfold. And I thought like, well, why didn't I learn about these women growing up? Like imagine had I known about the Catherine Johnson's of the world, maybe that would have really inspired, not just me, but you know, thinking of all the women of color who aren't in mathematics or who don't see themselves working at NASA. And so for me, the book was really a way to leave that legacy to the generation that's coming up and say like there have been women who've done mathematics and statistics and data science for years. And there are women who are doing it now. So a lot of the, about a third of the book are women who are still here and like active in the field and doing great things. And so I really wanted to highlight sort of where we've been, where we've been, but also where we're going and the amazing women that are doing work in it. And it's very visual. So some folks are like, oh my gosh, women in math. And it's really like a very picturesque book of showing these beautiful images of the women and their mathematics and their work. And yeah, so I'm really proud of it. That's awesome. And even though there is like greater diversity now in the tech industry, there's still very few African-American women especially who are part of this industry. So what advice would you give to those women who feel like they don't belong? Yeah, well, A, they really do belong. And I think it's also incumbent of people in the industry to sort of recognize ways that they can be advocate for women and especially for women of color because often it takes someone who's already at the table to invite other people to the table. Like I can't just walk up and be like, move over, get out the way I'm here now. But really being thoughtful about who's not represented and how do we get those voices here? And so I think the onus is often more on people who occupy those spaces already to think about how they can be more intentional in bringing diversity into those spaces. And going back to your talk a little bit, how should people use their data? Yeah, so I mean, I think the ways that we've used our data have been to change our lifestyle practices. And so for example, when I first got a Fitbit, it wasn't really that I was like, oh, I have a goal. It was just like, yeah, I want something to keep track of my steps. And then I look at them and feel like, well, gosh, I didn't even do anything today. And so I think having sort of even that baseline data gave me a place to say, okay, let me see if I can hit 10,000 steps in a day or... And so in some ways, having the data allows you to set goals. Some people come in knowing like, I've got this goal. I want to hit it. But for me, it was just sort of like... And so I think that's also how I've started to use additional data. So when I take my heart rate data or my pulse, I'm really trying to see if I can get lower than how it was before. So the push is really like, how is my exercise and my diet changing so that I can bring my resting heart rate down? And so having the data gives me a goal to push toward and it also gives me that historical information to see like, oh, this is how far I've come. I can't stop now. That's a great social impact. That's right, yeah, absolutely. And do you think that... So in terms of a security and privacy point of view, if you're recording all your personal data on these devices, how do you navigate that? Yeah, yeah, that's a tough one. I mean, because you are giving up that data privacy, I usually make sure that the data that I'm allowing access to is sort of data that I wouldn't care if it got published on the cover of the New York Times. Maybe I wouldn't want everyone to see what my weight is, but... And so in some ways, while it is my personal data, there's something that's a bit abstract from it. Like it could be anyone's data, as opposed to say my DNA, like I'm not gonna do a DNA test.  But I think that's increasingly become a concern because people are giving access to their information to different companies. It's not clear how companies would use that information. So if they're using my data to build a product or make a product better, you know, we don't see any royalties from that. We don't have the benefit of it, but they have access to our data. And so I think in terms of data privacy and data ethics, there's a huge conversation to have around that. And we're only kind of at the beginning of understanding what that is. Yeah. Well, thank you so much for being on theCUBE. Really awesome to have you here. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Of course. I'm Sonia Tigari. Thanks so much for watching theCUBE and stay tuned for more.
