Carlos Alcarez vs. Hubert Hercatch is the first semi-final for the men's Cincinnati Open for 2023. And both guys have had to fight to get to this stage. Hercatch into the tournament, unseeded, and will take on the qualified Cockenarkas in the first round. And after battling into a third set, Hercatch would sneak through 7-6-3-6-7-6. In the second round, he'd take on the 15th seed and defending champion, Borna Čoric. And after dropping the first set, would fight back to win in 3-5-7-6-3-6-3. In the third round, he'd take on the fourth seed, Siddi Paz, who struggled last week in Canada. And this was by far Hercatch's best performance getting through in straights, 6-3-6-4, to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Hercatch would take on the lucky loser Poprin, who'd gotten a second chance thanks to Hashinah pulling out. And after an easy first set, Hercatch would fight back to win the second, 6-1-7-6, to advance to the semi-finals. Alcarez came into the tournament as a number one seed and would get a buy in the first round. In the second round, he'd take on the qualified Thompson. After dropping the second set, would fight to win in 3-7-5-4-6-6-3. In the third round, he'd take on the number 14 seed, Tommy Paul, the man who had beaten him last week in Canada. And after splitting the first two sets and a lot of rain delays, Alcarez would eventually prevail 7-6-6-7-6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Alcarez would take on the qualifier Purcell, who had just taken out Rude and Vavrinca back to back. And after dropping the first set, Alcarez again would have to fight back to win in 3-4-6-6-3-6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. These two guys were played twice before with their previous meeting being last week. In the third round of Canada, Alcarez getting the 3-set win there with a couple of tie breaks going his way. But Hercatch has been impressive in tie breaks this week. So if it does go that way, maybe Hercatch can finally sneak out a win. If Hercatch is going to win this one, he needs to serve big. His serve has been so good this entire year. He served more aces than anybody else for the entire season. In fact, 150 more aces than the next best guy, which is Fritz. And he also has a massive first serve percentage as well. Doesn't lose points when that first serve goes in, but it comes out of the tie breaks. How does his mentality go when he does play the tie breaks if he does play the tie breaks against Alcarez? If Alcarez is going to win this one, he needs to get off to a better start. He seems to get off to these slow starts. Since Wimbledon has been winning, even at Wimbledon in the first final. In the final there, he did lose the first set 6-1. So he needs to get off to a better start here. And of course last week he did lose the first set against Hercatch. And the tie breaks, if Hercatch can somehow get his way into those, it could be difficult for Alcarez to get that first set. This is such a fun matchup because in the last five sets they've played, four tie breaks. So we're going to get at least one tie break you'd expect. But I reckon Alcarez gets it again. I think Hercatch just isn't quite there when he gets the tie breaks. And of course hasn't won a tie break against Alcarez. And that's going to play on his mind.  But I reckon that Alcarez is going to sneak it out, maybe in three sets. But let me know down in the comments below who's going to make the final of Cincinnati.


For at two o'clock, you would have heard Mike Wilson speaking about the My Feedback app. For a moment there, I thought he was going to do my presentation for me, but unfortunately no, it's something different. I'm here to talk about the My Feedback report, which is a plug-in in Moodle. And if you were at Moodle Mood last year, you would have heard me speak about the plug-in as we were developing it. So this is the update to that last presentation I did. So if you've never seen the plug-in before, what it does is it allows students and staff to easily view grades and feedback across Moodle courses in a single view, a single report. And it's available on the Moodle.org as an open source plug-in. We started development of this in late 2014, and the prototype is actually based on some code that was developed by ULCC as part of a GISC IOE Assessment Careers project. In 2015 to 2017, we actually got a developer in and ran this as a project internally at UCL, and we piloted it with, I think it's actually more like 850 engineering students for a year, starting October 2015. And a year later it launched into UCL Moodle, so it's now available across the institution. We evaluated it with our pilot students. So we ran a few focus groups throughout the project, and we've also been running questionnaires during the pilot, and also we've got one going at the moment as well. What the project aimed to do was to raise the visibility of feedback to students and staff so that they can see everything in one page. What we were finding was that students didn't really know how to access their feedback. And a quite depressing point was that we were often seeing students weren't viewing their feedback at all. So staff were perhaps adding a lot of feedback into Turnitin, and they were never going in and viewing that. And we wanted to make it easier for them to access that. We also want to help personal tutors to support students. So a lot of the time when personal tutors are in their meetings with their students, they're expected to meet with them a certain amount of times per year. They don't really know what to talk about, there's no conversation starter. And there's a number of other initiatives going on at UCL to support this as well, but this is one of the other tools that can help. We also want to encourage staff to start providing assessment feedback in Moodle electronically. There are numerous benefits which I won't go into here. But we're starting to see more and more staff adopting Moodle assignments. And some people are actually moving away from Turnitin to Moodle assignments. And I'll talk a bit more about why in a moment. So the feedback report shows Moodle assignments, Turnitin assignments, quizzes, workshops, and any manual grade items that are entered directly into the grade book. Now, with Turnitin assignments, we can only actually link to the assignment, which is still a big improvement on students having to dig around in their courses trying to find the links. But there's no API that we can use to draw in the feedback like we can access the other general feedback from the tools that are natively within Moodle. And with code adjustments, it's not that difficult to actually add further modules in. So some of the benefits of this is that I'll show you a screenshot in a moment where students can actually view their feedback across all of their modules in one place. And tutors can also see their students' feedback, but just for the courses they teach. They can also see whether or not the students have viewed it. This is what it looks like for a student. So I'll point out to you a few of the features. So up here, we've got the ability to export to Excel and to print the page. We can also, we were going to implement a link back to our archive versions of Moodle. We've actually had to roll back from that because there are a number of issues that are available in the Moodle tracker, which meant we weren't able to put that onto our production system. There are some problems with permissions and looping. So we're hoping that in future versions we'll be able to get that working, although we no longer have a developer working actively on this. So it's now out there in the community for the community to help develop, which is one of the reasons I'm here today. We've also got the ability to show and hide different columns. So this views quite well on a mobile device because you can really cut down to the information that you want to see and remove the columns that you don't need to look at. You can also filter. And the most important page actually is this page here where you can view all of the feedback. If you've got a rubric or a marking criteria, all of that comes in as well. So students can see the actual feedback that they've been given. And if they want to see it in context, then they can click through into the assignment. For personal tutors, they can't actually access the assignment itself unless they're already enrolled on the course. So that's something to bear in mind. And we've also enabled students to enter their own self-reflective notes. So there are a few students who have started doing this. Although a lot of students in our focus groups said that they probably wouldn't use this feature. We have been in discussions with some staff who are hoping to promote this and work with the careers service to get students reflecting on how what they're learning at university can feed into their future career prospects. As a staff member, you get my students tab. And on here, all of your personal tutors come in automatically into this report. Any other students that you're teaching, you can search for by email address. Initially we had a check box that you could tick and all of your students loaded. As you can imagine, some staff out there, we have category level enrollments. They've got tens of thousands of students. And this was really slowing down the page. So we've decided to implement a search feature instead of listing all of the students. When you click on a student name, you get taken to their report. And you're told which report you're viewing and you can go back to your own dashboard by clicking this orange button up here. So an important feature here is seeing when or if the student viewed the feedback at all. So if there's a cross there, the personal tutor might want to have a chat to that student and say, hey, how come you haven't looked at your feedback? And one thing to keep in mind is that I think with Turnitin, it doesn't necessarily register it as being viewed unless they're in there for a certain amount of time. As a personal tutor, you also get an overview of all of your personal tutors. So you can actually have a look at each student and whether or not they've submitted. Now keep in mind here that staff may have made assessments optional. They might be quizzes that are formative or a lot of staff don't know how to use the group's function and to hide things from students who aren't supposed to submit. So this may not be an accurate representation of how many non-submissions the students actually made. There's also how many times a student has submitted late, how many have been graded and how many are less than 50% where a numeric scale has been used. You can also break down each student into course by course and see how they're going course by course. As a module tutor, you get a slightly different view and you get a overall grade where you can see how the student is performing or how all of the students overall are performing. The lover's grade, the median grade and the highest grade. And then if you go down into the student breakdown, you'll see that for every student. We decided not to implement this for students themselves because some students said they didn't want to see this information. They felt that if they were not doing very well, it might demotivate them. So we decided that this would only be a view that staff could see. And subsequently, we don't have it on our personal tutor dashboard because it's likely that personal tutors are going to be in the report with the student sitting next to them in the meeting. So we don't want them seeing any of that information. And to get into here, you just have to select your course from the menu on the left hand, on the right hand side here. Okay, and as a departmental administrator, so we have category level enrollments as I mentioned, you can actually set up access across a whole category of courses for an entire department. And then you get a breakdown similar to the modular tutor view, but at a wider level, a higher level. And you can choose the categories from the top here, level one and two, and then specific courses that you want to access. Okay, so we released this in October, 2016. And by February, we had 14% of our users had actually viewed the report. But the biggest problem we've got is that my feedback is only as good as the assessment feedback that's inside Moodle. Without that feedback in there, the students can't use this and personal tutors can't. So we're working with staff now to explain to them how to put feedback into Moodle in a way that makes it visible in the report. And we make this available as a PDF. It's publicly accessible. One of the big things to keep in mind is that with Ternatin assignments, because we don't have that API link, a lot of our staff want to give their students letter grades and Ternatin doesn't support letter grades properly. So they've actually started writing those into the general feedback. So those grades are hidden inside Ternatin. So if they're there, they don't really have a workaround for that, but we can't get that into the report. So students have to click on the link to see their grade. One thing to note as well is that extensions that you grant for individuals or groups will come through into the report as well. So they won't flag as late if you've actually given a student an extension on a Moodle assignment or a quiz. Okay, so some takeaways from today. Communicating this to staff and students is really difficult. I keep meeting students and staff across the university who have no idea this exists. On the other hand, some students are saying, oh yeah, I just viewed my feedback from my feedback. That's where I figured that's how I get into my courses now to see all of my assessment feedback. And this is working especially well in engineering where they're putting a lot of their feedback electronically into Moodle. I've already mentioned Ternatin cannot be displayed directly in the report, but we're hoping that at some point in the future if there's an API, we'll be able to develop that. And just from a technical perspective, Moodle uses, my feedback report uses the Moodle parent role to map the personal tutors to their students. And we use a plugin called user role assignment from external database to automate this. So overnight, as people are set up and attached to their students in our SIS, it comes in and populates Moodle. The departmental admin access, as I mentioned already, requires the legacy category enrollments plugin. So if you're not using that, you can't implement departmental admin access. Another thing to note, a few people tried to attach the permissions to the course level roles like student and teacher. This didn't work because the report actually sits outside of a course. So the whole point of it is to give an overall view above the course level. So you need to make sure that the permissions are granted on a role that exists at site level. And as I mentioned already, if you're going to be implementing this yourself, don't activate the archive feature because it's not recommended production installations yet. And if you wanna see all the details about ideas for future developments and any bugs that are open, that's all on the Moodle tracker. So what are some ideas that we've got for future enhancements? We'd like the personal tutor dashboard to show courses that the student is studying. And on a mobile, we'd like the first row of the report to be expanded by default because we're finding that students and staff don't know to click on the plus to see the entire report on a small interface. We also want, it's possible to get to the report from the grade book. There's a tab. And what I'd like to see is when you click that tab, it automatically takes you to that module in the module tutor dashboard because that's the most likely thing you're wanting to be looking at if you're coming from a course grade book. And we'd also like to link directly to annotated Moodle assignment PDFs. That feature's not there at the moment. It tells you that they're there, but there's no direct link to them. If you'd like to contribute to my feedback, all the links are here. This presentation is available. And if you want to catch me later on at the conference, I'd be happy to talk to you about implementing it. The guys had one minute to spare and Jess had one minute, 10 seconds to spare. So thank you very much to both sets of speakers. Can I open the floor to questions to Jess, please? Hi, Mike Wilson, University of Portsmouth. Have you had any joy putting pressure on Turnitin to expand their API? We haven't really tried, actually. I've asked them a few times at Moodle Loot and it didn't seem like an API was in the pipeline. So we'll just wait and see. It is meaning that some of our staff are moving away from Turnitin to Moodle assignments because of that, but we're hoping to get the plug-in, plagiarism plug-in into Moodle assignments anyway because it does so many more things in terms of group assessments, marking offline, that type of thing. Thank you. Anybody, any other questions, comments? Nope, I just have one, Jess, if you don't mind. Do you have any idea how many institutions are using it? Oh, I should have had a look at how many downloads there were. I think it was 263 were coming up on the downloads, not that I look at it every day, but maybe I do. Excellent, well done. Well done, super. Oh, sorry. Sorry, it was the installation sites, yeah. Oh, OK, yeah. So it might be more. So you're better than that, basically, which thing. OK, if nobody else has any other questions, we will break for coffee, I think, now. Thank you very much, folks.


Welcome to the NTN Nightly, I'm Nisha Charles. This edition stops stories. St Lucia's Prime Minister has made the plea for OECS member states to place more attention on adaptation. The global environment facility has signed four million US dollars to St Lucia's climate change efforts. Junior Carnival gears up for another spectacular display. All that plus the latest in youth development, sports and the NTN Luvel Arquio. St Lucia's Prime Minister, the Honourable Alan Shasne, made the plea for OECS member states to place more attention on adaptation as opposed to waiting on help from developed countries. Prime Minister Shasne made the call at the fourth sitting of the OECS Assembly held Monday in Antigua, Barbuda. The 67th meeting of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States Authority, which featured the sitting of the OECS Parliament, brought together government leaders and politicians to address issues facing member states. Among the issues is climate change, a major talking point for member states as the oceans continue to warm and sea levels continue to rise. While the OECS Assembly urges countries to fulfill their existing pledges and raise the level of financing made available to developing states, Prime Minister, the Honourable Alan Shasne, is of the view that more than likely first world countries will not reduce their emissions sufficiently to an acceptable level. The reality that global warming shall continue and the reality that as a result of global warming, that we are going to have more unpredictable and more disastrous hurricane seasons and weather patterns is a reality. And therefore accepting that reality and being responsible governments that we must now allocate the necessary resources in order to be able to build the requisite infrastructure to provide the resilience to the people of our region and to protect our own assets. St. Vincent and the Grenadines Representative Camilo Gonzales agrees with Prime Minister Alan Shasne and went further to say that more resources for adaptation are mandatory. We have to understand that we have to mobilize creatively resources on our own because all the money if we wait for it will be waiting for something that might not arrive. We have to understand that adaptation is paramount because we have to prepare for a world beyond 1.5 degrees and not simply wish for 1.5 degrees. We have to understand and we have to explain even though the Honourable Prime Minister of St. Lucia is frustrated about it, we have to explain to people again and again and again that when a hurricane comes it doesn't ask if Antigua and Barbuda is a high-income country and therefore skip it or it doesn't ask the British Virgin Islands if their per capita GDP is one of the higher per capita GDPs in the region. The hurricane comes and hits everybody and our small islands and small economies cannot rebuild without grant and concessional funding. The OECS Assembly urged developed countries to address climate change with greater urgency and rapidly and significantly enhance their mitigation ambition. The fourth OECS Assembly was held in Antigua and Barbuda on Monday. Meanwhile, the Global Environments Facility, Jeff, has just concluded its 56th Council meeting in Washington DC and has approved almost 1 billion US dollars worth of projects. The main areas of focus for the Jeff is climate change, biodiversity, chemicals and waste, land degradation, sustainable forest management and international waters. St. Lucia has been assigned 4 million US dollars to undertake projects for climate change mitigation, 1 million biodiversity, 2 million and land degradation, 1 million dollars. St. Lucia has over the years benefited immensely from Jeff's resources. St. Lucia has received over 10 million dollars for 11 national projects. The marketing of tourism within the OECS is expected to take on a more co-ordinated approach following an agreement by OECS ministers of tourism to strengthen the region's tourism brand. The decision was taken at the sixth meeting of OECS Council of Ministers for Tourism. Jacqueline Emanuel Flood is the head of economic affairs at the OECS Commission. More than anything else, we came out of this meeting with an approach and agreement and we have been putting together a working group who is going to look at how we can do this collectively, efficient mechanism and approach whereby we can promote the OECS tourism brand on a sustainable basis. I think this was perhaps one of the highlights of today's meeting. We were able also to come together to get the ministers support and their views for us to move forward in operationalizing the Eastern Caribbean Institutes of Tourism, which is a virtual integrated tourism institute that is comprised of centers of excellence for different specialties in different member states. It's a very important project for us, not just for capacity building in the OECS tourism industry, but also to continue to profile and develop our industry as a center of excellence globally. And that was Jacqueline Emanuel Flood of the OECS Commission. The celebration of the island's main cultural showpiece is one month away, with organizers feverishly working towards a spectacular display. Among them is the Junior Carnival Committee. Let's hear more in this report. Colors, themes and excitement filled the air at the launch of Junior Carnival 2019. The first ever press launch of the event according to President of the Carnival Bands Association, Barry George, was get towards introducing new bands to the public and helping bands increase their visibility. Tonight we featured eight of the bands that will be competing for Junior Carnival, which will be on the 7th of July at the Sabre. And the eight bands of course will be competing in four major categories, which is the individual of the year, the junior king and junior queen of the bands, and of course the band of the year title. The president also highlighted that a new route would be utilized for Junior Carnival 2019. He noted that this was all in an effort to ensure a safer environment for the children where they can have fun. We try to make a more friendly environment for the kids. And we want to bring a more spectator aspect for those coming towards Junior Carnival. The roadside sometimes, whilst it works, we try to create an area where families can come in, sit in and look upon the stage. We want it to be interactive, where there is a family village that the event can host everybody in terms of bouncing castles, a place where it's safe and sound for the children to parade on Junior Carnival. Junior Carnival is scheduled for the 7th of July 2019 at the Sabre playing field. For the Government Information Service, I am Genal Norvel. And this is the NTN Nightly. Ryan O'Brien is up next. But it's doing its part, along with countries around the world, to reduce the emissions that are warming our world and changing our climate. These efforts are called mitigation. But decades of emissions have already changed the climate, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere today will increase average global temperatures even more. We need to adapt, that is, do everything we can to prepare for and respond to the actual and expected negative effects of climate change, and everyone has a role to play. We need to protect our crops, build homes that withstand storms and keep our drains and waterways free of garbage to help us recover or bounce back from climatic events. Learn more about the Government of St. Lucia's National Adaptation Plan and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your fellow St. Lucia's. Welcome back. We join Ryan O'Brien for the latest happenings in youth development and sports. Thanks, Nisha. I'm Ryan O'Brien. Welcome to your update on youth development and sports on the NTN Nightly News. The Inter-Primary and Secondary School Swim Championships are set to be held at the Rodney Heights Aquatic Center June 21st. The swimmers will swim in age groups as profina rules. Age, as of December 31st, 2018, will determine the age group in which swimmers participate. Each school allows to enter no more than four swimmers per age group and six in individual events. However, only two swimmers per team will be allowed to score. Each school will enter up to two relay teams in the relay event. There shall be neither substitutes nor alternatives in individual events. Swimmers may enter a maximum of three events. Medals will be awarded for the first three places per event. Trophies for age group winners and the overall meat winner will be awarded at the annual school sports awards ceremony scheduled for June 28th. The relays will not count towards points and are fun events only. Scoring will be first place nine points, second place seven points, third place six points, fourth place five points, fifth place four points, sixth place three points. Seventh place two points and eighth place one point. The San Lucia Aquatics Federation will provide the meat referee, chief timer, stroke and turn officials. All events are time-finals and seated according to entry times or no time if none is available. The pool will be open one hour before the meat for warm-up. Then assignments will be given upon arrival at the pool. Swimmers are reminded that they must wear uniforms in a march pass during the opening ceremony. The Ministry of Development and Sports in collaboration with other government agencies together with the National Table Tennis Association see the need to develop and showcase the special needs of these abilities in a fun and safe environment and recognize the need to ensure that sports are for all. To this end, Table Tennis will be the sport used to express their abilities. Six schools will be participating in a Fiesta and Competition at the Boseshoe Indoor Facility on Wednesday from 10 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon. The schools participating are Donata School, Educator Learning Center, Lady Gordon Opportunity Center, Denry Children's Center Special Ed, V4 Special Education Center, Sufret Special Education Rehabilitation Center. The Table Tennis tournament will take the format of open singles for both male and female competitors. Preliminary round-robin matches of one single game to 11 points will be played during the group stage, quarter-finals and semi-finals. The finals will be played two best in three games. Medals will be presented to top finishers in the championships. The physical literacy Fiesta will be taken place throughout the day as the students will have the opportunity to participate in six activities in the order of their choice. These activities focus on the ABC's Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed, which are skills needed. The six stages are forehand bounce, backhand bounce, alternating forehand and backhand bounce, transfer balls, skipping and agility ladder. The students who complete the six activities will be presented with certificates. Each school will also have a team consisting of four athletes comprising two boys and two girls for the balancing ball relay. And that's your update on your developments and sports for today. I'm Ryan O'Brien. Thanks Ryan. Bangkok St Lucia recently partnered with two local organizations that educate young women on sexual and reproductive health and bring attention to the seriousness of the autoimmune disease lupus. The month of May was quite an eventful month for education with a number of observances such as reading awareness month and lupus awareness among many others. In keeping with its community outreach programs, Bangkok St Lucia lent its support to two organizations with initiatives focusing on two vulnerable groups in society, teenage girls and persons affected with lupus in St Lucia. Earlier this month, representatives from two of these groups visited the bank for the official check presentation ceremony. This year, Bank of St Lucia has supported a number of initiatives. Two of these were in support of the historic collective headed by Dr. Robin Shawry White and we also collaborated with the St Lucia Authorities and Lupus Association. This year to help raise awareness with our staff and the general public, we gave the option to staff to purchase purple polo shirts and the proceeds of these purchases were then handed over today to the association. It's very important to us at Bank of St Lucia to continue to be the people's bank, to continue to be a bank that is involved in our communities. The Hurst to Our Collective is a group of individuals primarily based in St Lucia who advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights of women throughout the Caribbean. According to organizers, the launch of their latest health flow initiative targets various schools empowering young girls about menstrual health and hygiene. We recognize that there were some programs looking at menstrual hygiene and education at the lower levels in primary schools at the time when students are focusing on common entrance. And so a lot of the secondary schools didn't have any of these initiatives and so we tried to fill in the gap, especially looking at outer districts and rural areas. A lot of these girls don't have anyone teaching them about menstruation, although we look at sexual and reproductive health and rights, it begins with menstruation. And if they don't understand why they're even getting a period of what menstruation is, that word is far into a lot of them. The bank's donation to the St Lucia Aphritis and Lupus Association was focused on raising awareness for lupus and teaching persons affected how to manage the disease. We are extremely grateful to the Bank of St Lucia because we spend the whole year fundraising. We have an office to rent, we have an administrator who works there for three days a week and we need to fundraise just to keep things going. So we are grateful to the Bank of St Lucia who's taken us on board and we hope they continue to stick with us. According to Bank of St Lucia officials, the bank will continue to demonstrate its commitment to the people of St Lucia by supporting initiatives like these which focus on the development of human resources and the nation as a whole. For the Government Information Service, I am Janelle Norville. And stay with the NTA nightly. Up next, Primers Hutchinson is here with the NTA Nouvelle Arquéole. I'm innovative. I'm competitive. I am productive. I'm creative. I constantly improve what I do. And how I do it. I provide excellent customers to visit. I never stop learning. I give all my best, always. The National Competitiveness and Productivity Council embracing excellence. Welcome back. We join Primers Hutchinson for the NTA Nouvelle Arquéole. Thank you Madam Department of Investability and Information. The Government is here with the NTA Nouvelle Arquéole. We visit Primers Hutchinson. Your ambulance is here to serve the owners of the NTA. This is a critical question. This is your second Chief Officer, Judge Victrim. Victrim is here to talk to you about the situation of the Corporation in Japan. To serve the owners of the NTA. There are a lot of equipment with new ambulances. The second Chief Officer explained who is the person who makes the choice at night. This is because of the accident. I found him in the basement of the district to come here. The ambulance is here. It is here to help the owners of the NTA. Victrim also took the opportunity to thank the driver who led the NTA. He told us that it is the easiest job to do. Because the two drivers who are here to serve the owners of the NTA. The ambulance is here to help the owners of the NTA. We are here to help the owners of the NTA. It is one day that the nanny has not been served. It is one day that the person who has served is the one who has worked. So we are here to help the drivers. And we are here to help the owners of the NTA. The owners of the NTA. Because they are the family, the owners of the NTA. So the higher ambulance the NTA is. Come and help the owners of the NTA. because it's not just about the life, it's about the simple life. I am the legislation for protection and for adoptive children because we have to replace this that existed before, but the law that existed before, is that it is advisable to address the laws that came to the operation in 2018. It is a committee that is advisable to read. Unfortunately, the committee is still not able to establish, but the law that existed before, is that it is advisable to speak to the Parliament as quickly as possible to address the application and the application more easily. I should mention that for the EGIS, it is advisable to go on a paper and a lot of it is advisable to continue to apply for adoption. Because the committee is the director This year, I have visited APIA for six months for a data application to adopt their data. The Health Department and the Organization of Health Pan-American has made a commitment to improve the condition of people who suffer from bad health in APIA. For example, there is a training program for people who are suffering from bad health and who suffer from bad health in APIA. So, the professionals at APIA and the chief and diverse community have found the opportunity to build their own capacity so that they can be able to serve the people who are suffering from bad health. So, the condition of people who suffer from bad health is that they are under pressure because of bad health and bad health. Yolanda Alcindor, who has been training in APIA has made it possible for people who are suffering from bad health to adopt their data. This is a very common program for people who are suffering from bad health. It is very complicated for people who are suffering from bad health to participate. So, Yolanda Alcindor, who has been training in APIA has made it possible for people who are suffering from bad health to adopt their data.

A tropical wave located just east of the Lesser Antilles is expected to affect mainly the southernmost eastern Caribbean islands this evening and continue into Wednesday. Another tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic is moving westward near 17 miles per hour or 28 kilometers per hour. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected over the tropical Atlantic during the next five days. Saharan dust haze will continue to cause a reduction in visibility around the Lesser Antilles. The seas moderate to locally rough with waves 6 to 8 feet or 1.8 to 2.4 meters. Small craft operators and sea bathers are advised to exercise caution due to brisk winds, rough seas and reduced visibility. The sun will rise Wednesday at 5.36 a.m. And that brings us to the end of the NTN Nightly. Join us next time at 7 p.m. with a repeat at 7 a.m. You can also catch up with us anytime on the St Lucia Government Facebook page or YouTube channel. I'm Nisha Trouse.


What's going on everybody? Welcome back to another video. I have a very special guest. Here is Tina Hwang. That's right in the flesh because we are at the Content Creator Meetup in Salt Lake City, Utah. I've interviewed Luke, I've interviewed Ken, and now I get the extreme privilege to interview Tina. If you do not know who Tina is, she is a YouTube extraordinaire, an ex-fang data scientist, entrepreneur, and a personal friend. She's inspired hundreds of thousands of data scientists on their way to break into the field. In doing so, she's broken into our hearts. Oh, wow. I didn't know I'd expect that one. Thank you so much for joining. I really appreciate you being here. Of course. It's been just absolutely amazing, just one meeting you in person because we've talked, we've chatted, we've done collaborations on not just our channels, but different channels as well. It's been super great meeting you. How have you been feeling about the whole Meetup so far? It's been really good because this is our second Meetup, but it's the first time I've actually met Alex here. I think the first time around, we were trying to figure things out, but the second time, all props to Ken, he made everything really, really good. 100%. The events that happened, the sponsors that were there, they were really in line with us as content creators as what we're doing. It's just been very inspiring in general because people are coming here with their own perspectives, their own way of producing content and their own content strategies and visions. I think content creation is generally a very lonely activity, so being able to have that perspective and creating content with other people, incorporating other people's perspectives is very inspiring. Yeah, absolutely. I 100% agree. It's been great just meeting everybody because I meet everyone online, but I'm very much in my own silo, so it's really cool to meet everybody. All right, let's see. I have a wide array of questions. None of them are necessarily related to each other, but I'm hoping to get to know you and let other people get to know you a little bit better as a person and as just a person instead of just as like a data science YouTuber, right? As a person? Yeah. Who knows what will come of that? Who knows these days? Like, I don't know. I don't even know these questions. I'm just going to say whatever comes into my head. Yeah, again, some are personal, some aren't, right? So one of the best things that I've found is learning about people's backgrounds in terms of people who inspire them. Who would you say is somebody who has been really important in your life to help bring you to where you are? Is there a single person, a book? It doesn't have to be a person. It could be anything. That's a really good question. I do read a lot, and I think I have incorporated a lot of things that I read into my life. If there's one person that has really changed my perspective of life, it would be my mom, because she has a very unconventional approach. So I feel like for most Asian people especially, there's this idea of getting good grades, like going to a good school, and then getting a good job, right? My mom is the complete opposite. She was like, Tina, why are you working at Facebook? This is like, you should be doing your own thing. So it's very different. And also, I think another, a book that is just coming to my head right now is a book called, it's by Victor Frankel. It's called Man's Search for Meaning. It's a very short book, highly recommended to people. It's about Victor Frankel's experience in the Holocaust. And it was not great to be put lightly. And through that, he developed a philosophy essentially. And I think one of the most impactful things I learned from that, there's this quote, I'm going to paraphrase here, is that the last human freedom is your ability to respond to whatever it is that happening to you. Nobody can take away your last human freedom, no matter what happens. And that was very inspiring to me because, obviously, I wasn't in the Holocaust, but anything that did happen in my life, like there was ups, there was downs, I kind of like hold that really deeply in my heart because, again, like the way that I respond to the external environment is going to be my last freedom. So knowing that I always have that control is very empowering. Yeah, that's, that's really powerful. I thought about similar things, but never in that light. Like it's really interesting how, yeah, you get to choose how you respond. Nobody can choose for you, or make you choose a specific way. Yeah, I love that.  You don't have to do this, this and this. Has that pushed you more towards being like more of an entrepreneur, or kind of just do whatever you want? Like how has that impacted you? Yeah, for sure. So nobody in my family has managed to hold down a job. Sorry, I'm like revealing that about my family. Literally, nobody has managed to hold down a job because my entire family is very much entrepreneurial. I am by far the most highly educated person in my family. I think it's just the way that my mom thinks about things. And I mean, in general, my family in some ways, the way that they think about things, they don't they don't see things as a path. Like they are always been people is like, I don't know what's happening, but we'll figure it out, right?  So it's like this confidence that you can be in control of whatever it is that you choose to do. And in some ways, that is very empowering, because even say like you work at a company, nothing wrong with that. But you actually don't have a lot of control in the company, they can fire you at any point. Like your boss tells you to do something. But when you're doing it by yourself, you actually have a lot of control.  So that's something that was kind of like beaten into me as a child. They never told me to do specific things. But they that's like what they always told me. And then my mom's version of training me is essentially throwing me into very uncomfortable situations like this. He's just like, you just got to go for it. Yeah, I know.  I was 17 years old, like literally don't know what's happening. So she's like, he got to do this now, something called crap, like I got and you know what it worked because now I'm like, oh man, like I know how to do this now. So that's always been the way that she she does things. Yeah, no, I love that. I've noticed somewhat similar things with other people who I've met. They're like, my parents very much gave me freedom to do what I want and like push me to be more open-minded, which is really unique because most of the people I work with, they're like, you know, my parents, they wanted me to do this route and I kind of just did this. And they were always like, wish I didn't did more. My parents were the very, very similar. They were like, as long as you're happy, money is not the most important thing in the world as long as you're happy. And you know, that's kind of, I've always kind of followed that. And so I kind of follow my heart and my passions more than like, I'm going to go be a lawyer to make a lot of money because I almost went down that path. So I mean, that's, that's really great. I feel like me as a parent, I need to be, I want to be like that. I want to be like your mom. I feel like, okay, so my mom is, it's not exactly like that. She's not like go follow your passion. It's, it's, she does believe, she like, how do I explain it? She expects success from me. And it's not necessarily like do whatever I want and end up on the streets. You'd be like, that's not good. That's, that's good. That's a good thing. Like your parents are like, okay, you can end up on the streets if you want. Exactly. But yeah, like there, there is that like structure. They do expect things from me. And there are like, yeah, it's hard. It's hard to explain. Like they do expect things from me. It's not necessarily just follow like my happiness or my passion. There's, I think in Asian culture, it's like essentially there is a sense of duty. Like you do need to do your duty and you need to create a life for yourself that you can be successful in those ways. But within the way in which you do this is up to you. Yeah. No, that's great. I, I, I totally like, I understand the Asian culture fairly well. I'm obviously not as entwined, but like, you know, I've, I've been a part of that in many different ways. And yeah, the American culture is just not like that in, in several ways. And so, yeah, I think you've probably experienced that a lot more than I have and probably a lot of other people in the US, but really interesting, really, really fascinating.  What's, what's next? You've done it for what two years, two, two and a half years? Oh yeah, two years exactly. Exactly two years.  It is. So what's next? Like, are there any like big things that you want to either share or just like some things that you're excited about that you have planned? Yeah, I think I'm pretty realistic in, in a sense.  That's very rare that anybody ever does. So knowing that right now, I love making videos. Like this is something that I love to do. However, I don't want this to be my primary revenue stream because that's very stressful. It's very stressful because you have to hit views and it's harder to experiment with things because if you just do a wild card, it's very high likelihood that it's not going to do well. So for me right now, I want to keep doing YouTube, but I have essentially two companies that I'm working on. The first one is Learn Media, which is kind of why we're all together right now. And it's a, it's kind of like an agency in which we have a bunch of creators that we have over here. And then we also have brands coming to us and we understand like, basically we ask them like, what is it that you want to accomplish? Do you want to get a lot of views? Do you want people to do conversions? And then we help them design campaigns. And I think we're in a very good position to do this because we are content creators and a lot of brands are not very good at that, no offense to certain brands. I don't really understand how advertisement work, how content creators work. So that's one of them. And the other thing I'm doing right now is called the Lonely Octopus platform. Oh, see, I don't, I don't know about this. Lonely Octopus? Yeah, tell me about this because I don't know what this is. Yeah, so something I'm working on with, working with Lucon, Luc Bruce. So it's, because I think my channel over time, it's grown out of data science. It's more about like continuous learning education. It's really about adult learning and how to pretty much like craft a life that you want, which is not something that you can just go get a job and be happy doing that. It has to be a very intentional process. So what I really, it's the most simple thing is that most people, they want to learn something, want to do something, they want to transition to data science, transition to data analytics. So it's not necessarily they don't know how to do it. It's because they don't do it, right? So I think, and why is it that people don't do it? So we interviewed a lot of different people and there are two things that cropped up. The first one is that people were lonely. I love that. Very, very direct in the name because octopi have eight arms so you can make eight friends. That is so sweet. Yeah. So that was one of them. Like they feel really alone. I think it makes a lot of sense because when you're adult, people around you are not going to be wanting to do the same things anymore. You have responsibilities. You can't just like sit there and not go to your job or like not take care of your family. So that's your thing. Yeah, you shouldn't do that. Like very bad. Would not recommend. And then the other thing is people are afraid because they are, they have this feeling like, what if I do all of this and then nothing comes out of it? Like what if I do the data analytics survey? It takes me six months to do and nothing, like, like nothing happens out of this. It's a really big fear. And I think it stops people from actually starting in the first place. So a lonely octopus is about basically if you go through the program, we're not going to go like you, you're going to get a job, right?  So for example, the Google data, like certificate, you'll get that and you're going to be in a position in which you can be interviewing. So that's the promise if you stick here. I think in terms of content, like we are more about accountability, group learning. I've been live streaming for over a year and a half now with my study with me live streams. And that's kind of where this stems from. It's about keeping each other accountable to doing things that you want to do. And we're content second, accountability first. I think there's amazing content is out there already like Coursera, like Udacity and things like that. Like we don't go in, we don't need to go make more content. We just have to get people to actually use the content.  So we want to make it so that people going through this program able to do this. I'm not going to go too much because I feel like I'm going to ramble for a lot, but we want to make this program like very incentivized. So for example, going to data analytics, we're going to data science. It's not going to be like I can buy mentorship. No, it's about being groups of people you're going towards the same goal. And if you're we're going to keep you accountable, you're going to have a tracking everything that you're doing. And if you're consistent, you earn octocoins in which you can then trade for different things that you want. Like you can like say like 16 octocoins you can trade for a mentorship session, a resume review one on one with maybe me or Luke. So that's how we want to incentivize people to go through it. That's cool. Are you guys already doing that? Yeah, so that's fantastic. Alpha was pretty much my life stream. And we're building out the beta right now should be by fall to later this year. That is fantastic. Do you already have like a website build that people can go to like a landing page or anything? So we are building that right now. So that should be out pretty soon. And we're just hacking it together. Like I'm going to see it's like kind of terrible because it's the beta, right? So I think what we're trying to do is like we're not going to build an entire platform. We're putting together our third party tools. And as long as that works. Okay, well, if by the time you guys are watching this, it's out, I will have a link in the description. You can go check it out. I don't know if it's going to be any good, but based off what you told me, it sounds really, really interesting.  You have eight arms, you can make at least eight friends. Don't blame Luke for this theme. That was completely me. I don't know. You mean you get the credit. Luke does not get the credit. Oh, no, like I don't think Luke wants to get the credit for this one because it doesn't really make any sense. But anyway, well, either way, it's a really unique name. Nevertheless, because you can't forget that. Can you, right? If you're like, I'm part of the lonely octopus program. Are you really going to forget that? You'll never, I'll never forget it.   Looking back, like going back and talking to yourself, let's say three years ago, right before you started YouTube in that space where you were still had a big tech job. You were just starting YouTube. Is there any piece of advice that you or anything that you wish you had have known going into this that you're like, if I had known this, if I had known this in either my career or my YouTube journey or whatever, that that would have made a huge impact on a lot of the decisions I had made. I have made up until now. Yeah, that's a really good question. I think what I would have told myself is to be more kind to me. I think that's a really big one because I've always been the type of person who's like, I must like achieve this goal. You know, like, I need to do this. I need to do that. And I think even prior to three years ago, because of that was the way that I was, like, I got to get good grades, like, you know, I got to my masters and do all these things. I was never able to explore outside of that. I was so afraid of failure. Extremely afraid of failure. And that means I never explored outside of the domains that I felt I was going to do good in. So being, I guess, like being kind to myself as in like accepting the fact that it's okay for this to happen. It's okay to not push myself so hard all the time. And pretty much back in December was a really hard time for me because I was trying to balance a full time job with YouTube. And I was not kind to myself, like I must make YouTube videos and they have to be this quality and I must do good on my job as well. But kind of hit a point where I'm like, wow, like, I'm literally having a mental breakdown. So, so yeah, I think that's what I would tell myself just in general, like it's okay to be kind to yourself. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's, that's fantastic advice. Really, really, I mean, I feel like there's a lot of intertwined advice in that in just what you said, it's not only be kind. It's also like, you know, take it easy on yourself in terms of like workload, take it easy on your on yourself in terms of like expectations.  So let me check because I have one more question I believe I wanted to answer. I don't want to miss it. This one goes back to your YouTube channel. Of course, we talked about a variety of things, but your channel has grown incredibly fast, especially in the data space, like, you know, you passed Ken, you've passed me, you were always passed me, I think. I don't think I ever was like, when did you start your YouTube channel? Like two and a half years ago. So maybe you did pass me at some point. I think we were like around, because I think Ken was first and everybody just kind of like showed up. Yeah.  But again, you should go check it out because usually like 380,000, I believe. Is it higher than that now? You have, you have really taken off in a huge way in the lot where a lot of other creators haven't. You know, what do you think has like made you stand out or made you grow at that rate that maybe other, not that we don't have it, but like, what's, what's made you kind of have that growth that maybe other channels haven't? What do you think? What's that special sauce that I need to do?  Yeah, I need, I need to know this so that I can pass you in like the future. And I think it's like, I think each content creator is different, right? Like the style of content, like it really, each person has to find what it is that they are good at, like what their strength is, what makes them different. I think for me, I did a lot of experimenting. I started up very, very much about career and data science, very specific. And I guess there's like two factors. The first one is being very authentic to myself. Like, I don't try to pretend to know things because I don't know things. Like, you know, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm just trying to share the fact that I don't know things. And people love that. They're like, thank you. I don't know things either. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I think it was like, I don't know things, but this is how I'm going to approach it. And like, eventually I'll know things probably. So I think that's one. And the other one is I'm very experimental because I, you know, there's some, some channels are very like specific to a certain domain, which I think is really good. If that's like the domain that you're very interested in, and especially if you're doing as a business, right? Like this is like where you want to niche down. I think for me, I'm very experimental in the sense like if I feel like making content that's outside of the data niche or something like that, I'm going to go do it. Like worst case scenario does bad. And I just go back to the original niche, right? Best case scenario is I get out of that local maximum. And I opened up an completely new area of exploration. And for me, I think that those breakthroughs was going from data science into how to learn in general, like adult based learning. Again, it's very, that is very integral to what it is I'm doing. And another, yeah, I guess like there is like connection. I'm just like, I'm going to make a video about my cat. Like I'm not going to do that connection. I have a vision for my channel. And the vision is that I'm, I want to be a place in which young and ambitious people are able to find resources, like very practical resources on how it is that they want to design their lives. How does that they want to achieve their goals so that they are able to craft a life that they want?  It is very hard to do so, but it is very worth it. So that is kind of like a central theme. I've done like productivity base. I've done like learning stuff. Now I'm just like commentary about certain things and like how to like all of this kind of has a similar thread in my mind. Yeah. No, that's fantastic. I mean, like, yeah, I know they're doing a workshop downstairs right now. But that's fantastic. It sounds like just a lot of testing, trying things out, like not being afraid to branch out from the content that is already done well. And you know, I've enjoyed a lot of the kind of different stuff that you've made that I'm like, I thought you did data science, but you do a lot of like productivity stuff, which I like the adult based learning stuff that you've done, because I'm like, I kind of somewhat do a little bit of that, but you have leaned into it really heavily, which is really neat. So that's all the questions I had for you. Thank you so much guys. If you have not heard of Tina or seen her channel, absolutely check it out. She's absolutely phenomenal. Her content is amazing. And she's always doing different stuff. And so if you like, like listening to her and her personality and hers a person, I highly recommend you checking it out. Tina, thank you so much for joining me on my channel. I really appreciate it. Thank you for those kind words and thanks for having me.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview. Southampton vs Everton. Ever looking to stay unbeaten in a very tough game at St Mary's, which has become a little bit tougher with the news that Hamas Rodriguez, Sheamus Coleman and with Charleston are all set to miss out. One of them is absolutely guaranteed to miss out with the Charleston, but Sheamus Coleman I think we all thought was going to miss out, but Hamas Rodriguez is going to miss out as well according to Carlo Interlotti, so that is a bit of a blow isn't it, that is a bit of a low straight off the bat. It's a huge blow isn't it, cos obviously he's our chief provider isn't he, he's created the most chances this season in the team, so that's a big blow. We knew Coleman would miss out going off of the hamstring injury and obviously we knew that Charleston wasn't available anyway, but to lose Hamas is a bit of a blow. We're never going to play the whole season with the same 11 and it's about being able to get over these bumps and it gives other players an opportunity to come in and stake their claim. Absolutely, obviously it's a huge negative. Hamas Rodriguez is like different kettle of fish, he's not going to get many people who can replace him and it's like that with any good team, the one player, your best player, you can't replace them. And the better they are, the harder it is to replace them and he is really top class. But I'm trying to look at this as a positive and think to myself, well it's been great so far, four wins on a draw on the Premier League into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. You need to be tested I suppose at some point. You need to look at the team and see where it is and where it's going. Southampton had a good side, they've been on a really good run since Christmas. They've started the season a couple of the feats and now they've found their feet a little bit. So it's going to be a real test. If this evidence team could go to Southampton and get a win, let's say, having a few players missing, it shows you there's real character and it shows you that the players in the squad are also pulling in the right direction. We saw that in the Brighton game, we saw it with a couple of players missing in midfield and players coming in. Are the players all fighting for the same thing? Did you all want to be in the team? Do you all think they've got a chance of being in the team? And we'll find that out on Sunday because there's a real opportunity for a couple of players now to come into the side. The Carabaugh Cup was used really well actually when you think about it because it was an opportunity, especially with the short pre-season and everything. It was an opportunity to get players up to certain level and someone like Bernard who played him who started both of the first two rounds against Salford and against Fleetwood, he hasn't had a minute of Premier League actually. And then someone like a Wobie hasn't started the game yet, but hasn't started the Premier League yet. So it's there the two players you would look at and think they'll come into the side, but then again, we did a video the other day about who replaced his ritualism, expecting hammers to play obviously. And we thought that in general it was between a Wobie and Bernard and I know there's been a lot of calls for Anthony Gordon and he was in the conversation as well. I think we both went with a Wobie because he seems to be like one of the first subs and he's got on done quite well. But now obviously it's Bernard or Anthony Gordon. So there's two ways you're looking at it. You can look at Gordon and think well he's a bit physically, he's a little bit taller than Bernard and probably a bit stronger. Like to cut in and have a go with that right foot or do you go for the technical ability of Bernard on that left hand side? Yeah, you're right. I expect a Wobie to start on the right now because there's a couple of plays you can come into it. And it'll be interesting to see what happens, Bernard, talk of him leaving the club obviously, Anthony Gordon not being getting on the bench. So the manager's got to look at it tactically and using the right mindset and he's been chomping at the bit all week. So we've maybe known that as an opportunity. Hopefully he'll be making his decision on those things. But it's going to stretch the squad. It's going to stretch us a little bit. And obviously, like you said, James Coleman is out as well. And that'll be whether, does he continue with Ben Godfrey at right back or does he go for a now fit John Jo Kenny? Who does he look at? So it's... Who would you go for there? Godfrey, I don't think John Jo Kenny's good enough. I don't think I'd go for Godfrey just because Kenny's only just coming back from starting training earlier in the week. And I just think the physical side and the pace of Godfrey, because if you've got someone like Nathan Redman playing, it's quite quick. You've got Che Adams running into those channels. You want someone who can get back and cover. And while Kenny's all right, I just thought he's not as quick. I don't think across the ground there's Ben Godfrey. So I think I'd go more with Ben Godfrey, although John Jo's obviously more of a specialised right back. Godfrey is filling in, but I think that's who I'll go with. And Southampton and I might be wrong on this. They always strike me as a team that are good on set pieces. I might be completely wrong, but they always do. They're just one of those teams. You look at Danny Ings and you look at the plays they've got in the backline as well. They always strike me as a team that will do well on set pieces. And it's good to have another physical body in there, because we're not too bad defenders on set pieces. The manager's got decisions to make. But as I say, you go into the December time, you go into January time, you go into those two months. It's ridiculous how many games of football there is.  And we know this season the Champions League now is relentless for the next couple of months or the next six weeks. It's just every week and you've got an international break in the middle as well, which is just ludicrous. So once December kicks off, you know you're going to have a lot of games over Christmas and we know there's loads anyway. So the squad's going to be testing it to the manager can trust. And I think like we've seen in the Carabao Cup, it's like the manager will put players out and just say, I'm giving you your chance now, what are you going to do? And it's those players. We're going to see who's up for it. And I said in that breaking game, I think when Sigurddon come in and Tom Davis, I think you see the reaction of a couple of players going, I want to be in this team. I think that's what we've all been talking about this season. There's Carlo and Trotty said to them, who wants to play for this team? Who wants to be part of this? I think what we've seen so far is they've all responded. They've all responded in the Carabao Cup. And I think that's what we want to see. Even like Fabian Delth, who most of us have written off really, because we've started seeing enough of them and was the desire there. He played against West Ham wasn't it and played really well and he come on in that breaking game for the last half an hour and done okay. So they have responded, Sigurddon has responded very well. And I guess to Bernard, if he can recover the form that he had two years ago, this first season, him and Dean, we were loading them as possible. Bains and P and R level at one time. Can they link up like that? So if he could come in for this game and link up down the left hand side, that would give us the option. I guess he's looking and he'll look and think, do we go for almost a wild card in Anthony Gordon? Because people still don't know what he can do. He's not really known in the Premier League at the moment. Or do we go for that link up playing, that technical ability of Bernard over on that side? They're the real question. I know I've seen people throw nears and kunkw into the mix as well. And who knows? I mean he's physically really good. There will be opportunities for obviously two players who are going to have to step up to the bench, whether that be Anthony Gordon or will we see Ellis Sims in there because we haven't got any other strikers. Un kunkw, with the look at him as well, has been someone you threw on in the last 15 minutes to play down the left hand side. We don't know because we don't know the full repertoire at the moment. But what we have got is we've got that spine, the goalkeeper, Michael Keane, Jeremy Meane, Alan Decorey and Dominic Alvin Llew. That's the spine that you want to keep together for as long as possible because there the players are not going to open up games. But there the people are going to see out games. There the players who are going to work through games. There the players that you want for a game like this where you know it's going to be tough, you know Danny Ings is record against us and all the rest of it. There the players who keep your side together when it matters and you just hope that all their elements come together. Listen, no one's going to be as good as Amazon Vegas. No one's going to cross that, you know, the crossfield passes like he does to whoever on the other side. So you've got to look for something else then and you're asking a woby, you're asking, as we said Bernard or Antigone, whoever to come in and just do what they do. But if we can keep that middle together then I think that's a huge positive for the whole of the season really. You've got to look at when you're going to have to make those changes, he was never going to play every game. Rodríguez, we knew that when he come in he was never going to create and have an assist every single game because he'd be the greatest footballer in the world. And I know that he's world class and he's a top, top player but there was going to be games that he misses out on, games that he's nullified in because some teams will try to nullify him. It's up to your other players then to create those opportunities. We give them a Calvallun, who's the top scorer opportunities, he will take them. And then it's up to other people, it's up to people like Abdelhaid y Cori, who've got half a dozen goals from Wafforddon in the field, it's up to him. Is it his moment on Sunday to come up with an important goal for everyone? Is it Yeri Meeners' turn this Sunday off a corner to score, you know, we've seen him come up with a big goal against Brighton, we've seen Michael Keane last week. So, Evan have still got players of quality, there's no question about it. A Wobing Bernard ain a bad shooter calling from the bench to come into your team and Anthony Gordon who's a live wire trying to get in there. And it'll be amazing to be seen whether they think Alice Sims can be on the bench or not. I don't know, it might come down to who's available and who isn't or who the man who thinks. But I don't know, I just look at it and think it's an opportunity, that's what those players have got to look at. They've got to look and think, I might only get this opportunity this week because the manager, the way he was speaking, made it. I mean, I've still got like a 5% hope that he looks like he'll miss the game. Means that, you know, someone will drop some of the A-2 shot that could have been on Saturday and he's able to play. But it made it sound like if it isn't there this week, he'll probably be fifth in Newcastle. So, for a Wobing or Bernard, it might just be one shot you've got at this. And you have to make it difficult for Carlo Antelothi to consider putting that kind of shot. But it might be one shot though because with the Charleston being out for three games, if Bernard's on one side and the Wobing's on the other side, both of them will be, you know, thinking, if I do well today I can take that spot on the left side. But it'll be one shot for one of them. No, no, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. They've both got an opportunity, so...  They lost an opening two Premier League games this season. They've won the next two an entry with the weekend. And then this is how they started last week against Chelsea. Alex McCartney and go, Walker-Peters and Bates and we now two full backs that like to attack. Bednarich and Bestergaard, two centre backs. Good in the air, so it'll be a test for them, but he's quicker than the pair of them. And so I think that could be somewhere where Everton can get in behind them. Then you look at that midfield, obviously, Nathan Redden played off the left. No Theo Wolcott this weekend, obviously, because of the loan agreement. He had a decent game for them last week. Interest in that he played the full 90-odd minutes last week, wasn't it? For Everton it looked as though he was a last 20-minute man. Now, so, but obviously, you know, did well for them last week. Warprous and Remail in the middle. I think Alan and Dacorey can take that. And then obviously the threat of Tia Adams and Danny Ings up front who, you know, Danny Ings four goals in five games this season, loves a goal against Everton. So we know where their dangers are, where their danger men are. We know what we have to do. Don't give cheap free kicks away round the box at Warprous. We know he's got a fantastic delivery. And listen if Everton can go and play the way we know they can. They can win this game. It'll be a tough game, like you said before. You know, we went there a year ago and we won it. They'd just been hammered their own by Lester and we all feared the worst. We all thought, oh, they're going to come flying out here. And we were in terrible form, really. And we went up there and, oh, sorry, went down there. And won 2-1 and come out played really well for the first half. And then had enough in the last 20 minutes to take the game away from them. So while it is a difficult game, it's an opportunity. Isn't it? To stay top of the league. And it might be have to go back top of the league if the results go the other way. So it's a big incentive for Everton. And if they can get over this, what is a big obstacle this Sunday, if not having to be your best front three, then it'll give the whole squad confidence and obviously us, it might turn some of our non-believers into believers. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Just give us your terrible stats. The last bit of the pressure bit of the year of the preview. For this game. So let's go. Southampton have won five of their last seven home Premier League games against Everton. But obviously we're beaten last time out. Everton are looking to win consecutive away top flight visits to Southampton for the first time since 1992. Southampton have kept more clean sheets against Everton than they have any other side in the Premier League. Ten of 13 clean sheets coming at St Mary's against us. Southampton have lost just two of their last 12 Premier League games. One six, three four losing both of their opening two matches of the season. Everton, though they've lost their 100% winnings. No, I'm not doing that one. Sorry. No, I'm not crying it in that much. Everton have won each of their last three Premier League games. Last winning four consecutively on the road back in December 1985. Interesting. Incredible. No side that scored more header goals in Premier League history than Everton. 322 currently level with Manchester United and we've got Willie in the header goals chart for this season so far. Six goals. Danny Ings has scored four in his last five appearances against Everton. He's only got more goals against Spares. He's got five against Spares. Dominic Alderman scored in every Premier League game this season. He scored seven goals. The only player in Premier League history to score in each of his teams was Sergio Aguero from Manchester City. Interesting. And the son of Spares is the only player to have created more chances this season than Hammers Rodriguez. He's created 16 Hammers. He's got 15 but we know he's not there. That's nothing new. We knew that he was the chief creator but that to me just throws down the gauntlet to someone like a wobbio. Bernardin says you've got to become that chief creator now. Llewka Dim ond by far by Iron Hammers for creating opportunities. So it's who can maybe link up with him as well. Opportunity. And listen, we knew we had no with Charleston so they've known all week and now maybe they've known all week we've not have Hammers Rodriguez as well. We've kind of been training with that. So there you go. It's not all doom and gloom. Come on, let's be positive. Top of the league. And if we get through this one then bouds well for the coming games with our squad. Obviously at some point we'll be stretched this week and it will be stretched again. So let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one.
