So we are going to paper. Remember one week they forgot to bring paper? Now they bring like a ton of paper. We are foreign. Are we foreign? Are you foreign? Did you guys study with Matthew McGuire? He's awesome. He's awesome. He's fantastic. He's very foreign. Oh, is that like, is that, does that mean he had to learn a lot in this class? I didn't actually ever take the blackout. He's brilliant. He's amazing. He just gave him a great, you know... Do you know Moritz on Shippo Nagel? No, but I said... You did hand to God? Oh, oh, you did? What's his name? What's his name again? Moritz. Moritz? Moritz? Moritz? M-R-I-T-E-Z? Yup, not German. He's not German. He's a Canadian with no accent. Where's he from? Where are his people from? I assume his father might have been from Germany, but he spoke with no accent. My husband is German, so we have a lot of German out there. Come to Germany? So would you. You're from? Yeah. It's awesome, so this is Watch Your Work, does anybody not know what we do in Watch Your Work? I mean if you guys aren't here for Watch Your Work, you don't have to leave or anything. You don't know what we do? What's your name? My name's Jose. You may not remember me. You look familiar, that's why I thought you've been here a long time. I was in the graduate school program. Oh, you were an actor? We're a fabulous actor.  Well, I'm here to watch you do it. You taught that class with Oscar at NYU. Yeah, I still do. We show up every fall, and we do it. You're in class, and you're ready. It's tricky, you'll see.  It's like when a waiter comes up to you and says, remember me?  But, you know, it's a little tricky. It's tricky. So hello, I'm glad to see you again. How are you? How is it in the big world? Oh man, it's tough out in the streets. No, it's good. It's nice to be out there. Out of the cocoon or the grad screen. Yeah, that's good. Because you can't do everything. Unless you do, and then that's sad. Yeah. Okay, so we're not sad. And I didn't watch the Oscars, but I had it in my apron which did a reenactment for, which I think should have won.  He's big, very buff dude doing this thing. So, to tell you what we do for this show, because as you see, it's a play, because the Velvets never tell you that. So this is a play, and we do it in two parts. First we do the action of the play, which is we all write for 20 minutes, and I time it, and my overhead helps me time it. So we time it together, okay? And then we do the dialogue of the play, which is us talking about you guys' creative process. So the title is kind of like, it's not like by Hamilton you know what you're getting, right? Watch Me Work, it's a little tricky, because of me and the title is You. So Watch Me Work means that I'm here, basically, pretty much every week in the lobby of the public theater, and I'm repeating it because we also live streamed the HowlRound, and I'm here, and for free, we invite you guys to come, and I want to talk to you about your work and your creative process. So I don't talk about my work or my creative process, and if one should ask me a question about my work or my creative process, I turn it into a question about you. So it's a chance for you to talk about what's going on with your work, okay? And it doesn't have to necessarily be writing, it can be any kind of creative endeavor. She asked you, have you ever, don't have an interview? Ms. Parks also, in about two minutes, asked herself if she could make it. She's hallucinating, she has some hallucinogens, legal hallucinogens. That's why she was in the class.  I've never really done that at home, sure. I came home, my son was with the babysitter and he was naked, and I'm like, why? He's like, I don't know, I said, okay, I'm going to put your clothes on. Anyway, we're going to write for 20 minutes, okay? And those of us who, those of you guys who are watching, are you going to come up and tell them? Tell them now so they can prepare. And then you tell them again, we take questions. You know, they'll have more than one chair. Do you have all that confidence?  Okay. Look at that, that's cute. Thank you. That's very little purple sparkles. In addition to our live streaming, we also take tweet questions on our Twitter account, which is at Wash Me Work SLP. So if you tweet in with the hashtag HowlRound, we will ask SLP your questions and then respond. You got your, you're going to use your phone? Yes, I have it. I brought my timer today. We're going to do it to 20 minutes, and then I'm going to do some talking, okay? I'm not going to start until I put my... This takes like actually like two minutes to do. Anybody else know this is a typewriter? It's been a long time. Click, click. Okay, ready? Well, I'm going to move my sandwich out of the way. There. You're having trouble you can use?  Can I have your animal? Almost. You know, sometimes you have to remind ourselves what we're really doing. So does anybody have any questions about their work and their career process and their shit? Yes, yes. Remind me of your name. James. James. And you're from Scotland. I am. Yeah, okay, I remember. Hi, James. And when you're... I have a piece. It's Edinburgh Hairstyle. Yes. Do you have a policy for rewriting? How long... I'll let you let yourself do it. You're in... You are in rehearsal, right?  And I keep hearing stuff I want to change. Sure. And I can't tell when... I'm just wondering what your cutoff is. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Well, usually the production... I mean, depending on the production, but usually, did everybody hear James' question if you're in a show, when do you stop rewriting? Right? So usually a production will freeze, they'll say, James will freeze in the show. So a producer will come out and she'll say, James, we're freezing your show tomorrow. And that's when you stop. So you keep rewriting for a preview? If it needs it. If it needs it. This is another time. So you can keep writing up to the time that it's frozen. Okay? If it needs it, I suggest do it. Don't stand up like, Well, I will. No first draft, best draft. That'll be right, because that's the show. Okay. And you can keep cutting also. Changing that should cut that. Okay. Also, you can rewrite. A lot of people do, I tend not to, but people do it after the show is over, you know, after you've had your production, and then you re-visit it later. A lot of people keep writing, and even if it's published several times, people keep rewriting. I don't. I let it go. Everything... I mean, it used to be... The Wizard of Oz used to be the big... The Wizard of Oz, the movie. Used to be the... Everything you need to know, you can learn from watching it as a boss. Or I'm not your neighbor, but you've got James Bond. Put those two together, you know everything. But now, we also have to add to the mix frozen. I've never seen it, but that song. No. There we go. Right, so, anyway. The third time you can stop rewriting, is when you see the actors do that. Okay?   That was more what I meant, I suppose rewriting, giving it to the actors, how late do you do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that because you're previews still? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, sure. Yeah, but when they're like throwing up, and done, and hate, and they can't do what you've already written well, because you feel they need to, then you're not serving yourself to the best of your ability. So you have to be just aware, you know? All the way up to, all the way up to one of the reasons you can, sure, go for it, if you want, but be aware, you know?  Hey, I really had a question. I need to ask you. No, I can't ask you now. No, it's not even about a question. Okay. It's like, I know what you're going to say to me, so you're just going to say, just do the work. Oh, just do the work. Yeah. So I did the work. There you go. How's it going? It got very interesting. I think I was just trying to do the whole thing in one day, and you just said, why don't I just talk to one character and let's see where that goes instead of getting on my own nerves. So this one character has much to say, and it's almost like, I've been waiting for you. Just listen to me. And here's your pen. Write down everything I'm saying. So it's, yeah, and it, but it's kind of, I'm finding that it's like pages and pages and pages, but I'm going back and I'm circling like this, which is new for me. Usually I'm like, no, I have to write everything beginning to end and it has to end. Now it's, okay, here's this little thought and that's going to go there. So I've got a wall of scenes that I just like, I'm like, okay, there's something here. And so I'm just trying to be brave. Let it go. That's what I'm trying to do. Let it go. See? See? So, yeah, I want to get to find myself feeling like I'm in the middle of, in the middle and I'm trying to figure out where the end is. So I'm like, should I just hang out in the, I just do it and see what happens? I think just keep putting the time. I mean, what else? I mean, that's the thing.  You just have to keep putting the time and keep getting the pages down. Yeah. You know? And you say, you know, a couple weeks ago that you needed feedback from some new people. Yes. So are you, how's that going? I haven't cut out one person. They're becoming very entertaining, but that's not helping. I'm entertained, but it's not, it's not there. So you need some news. I'm just, yeah, but I want to be organized. You just have to keep putting the time. Really, it's like, sometimes it's like that. Yeah. And then it's, it's like compounded interest. You know, does anybody have a bank account or something like that?  So you don't have to put like a million dollars in. You have to be regular with your savings. You just put a little bit in on a regular basis. It's kind of the same as writing. It's like, sometimes you just walk like this. Which is fine. How are you moving? So, for example, today. Right, today. I showed up and I had no idea. I was like, well, I've been getting the emails for a while and I was like, you know what, I'm going to check it out. Right. I didn't know that I was going to be writing today. Oh. So I thought, oh, that's kind of interesting. So we'll see. Let's just write, you know, a journal, everything. So I figured what's going to happen. But when you're feeling that kind of, oh gosh, I don't want to introduce this word into our lexicon now, but like this block or whatever. Right. Now I have to like do this thing. Right. What do you, I mean, there's something in the, just putting the money in the bank. But how do you just move past that? Block. Yeah. Right. We can say block, block, block. That's great. I mean, it's a thing that happens, right?  It's not like I didn't do that. I'm talking about something like, ooh, Trump, Trump, Trump. Guess what? He's really here.  It's okay. I'm not afraid. It's an opportunity. It's an opportunity to rise to the occasion.  I don't know if I'm black for nothing. This is like my ninja. You know what I'm saying? So difficulty is an opportunity. Right. So that's how we look at it. So that's all it is. It's just an opportunity. It's just basically your spirit saying, what you got? What you got? Oh, you want to do this? Come on. Let's see.     What are you going to do? You know that kind of thing. It gets very exciting. So you pull out your tools. Like sometimes it's a phone call to a good friend who's going to give you a pep talk. That's a tool in your toolbook, right? Sometimes it's going online maybe and looking up like famous quotations from famous artists. Like Chuck Close, the painter, has a great quote called, he says, inspiration is for amateurs. Yeah! Meaning don't amateurs wait for inspiration, but the pros do the work consistently, right?  That film is brilliant. It's brilliant. And if you haven't seen it, go see it. Or wait for it to come out on one end or another. So whatever it comes out of, it's brilliant. So you get inspired, right? That's a part of your toolkit too.  And I have a lot of these. I don't use my phone because your phone is crack. I feel that all the time. Your phone is crack. This kind of time, not this kind, but just a digital egg timer is great because it only is going to count down or up the top, right? You sit down and do the work. So a block, when it happens, is an opportunity to get strong, right? Do you go to the gym or anything like that? A run or whatever, right? So what do you do when you go to the gym? Great! So you know what it's like to go to the gym and you don't feel like running. You don't feel like lifting weight. You don't feel like, what kind of martial arts do you do? Dujutsu. Okay, so sometimes you don't feel like the form. Do you guys have forms in martial arts? Do you like the kata? No, but I did have one. Okay, so you know what it's like. Sometimes you don't feel like it. What do you do? You put on your uniform.  And you just do one move, right? You get on, you know what I mean? Same with this. Same with that. It's cool, you know? It's cool. It's like, yeah, okay. So I don't feel like it today, good. You know? And then after your 20 minutes of working, when you started out not feeling like it, and you've worked anyway, then you can walk around like this for the rest of the day. That's why I do it. Because I did fight it. It's my fit. I'm glad you can't do that. Yeah, this is good. Remind me of your name. Nancy. And you've been here. Yeah, it's been a while. Yeah, but hi. It's good to see you. Thank you. Something that you said earlier, helping me articulate my question a little better. You mentioned to remember that you're working collaboratively.  So a lot of my work is solo. But throughout, through a series of really weird circumstances, now I'm writing for the stage and I'm performing. So I know suddenly I have this project. I have a series of strongly connected monologues. And I have the idea on how to develop them into a one person show. However, the transitions between each of the monologues, I have ideas on how I would do it if they were chapters on the page. But for the stage, this is all really new to me, because I'm assuming that I can use things like dance, music, lighting. And is that where collaboration could be helpful? Sure. Sure. That is exactly where collaboration can be held. Did you hear Nancy's question? She's writing this cool series of monologues. Collaboration can totally help. You can invite in...  And then you invite in a director and she or he can offer you an idea. Hey, we can do a piece of music here. We can invite in a musician to play some music, some live music here as a way of bridging the pieces, for example. We could show some video elements, some visual elements. They can give you ideas. And then you guys can create the show collaboratively. So that's a great opportunity. Or you can go and watch a lot of shows that are kind of like yours and see what they do and then script it into your series of monologues. You can get some ideas and just write them in. Because so far, I guess, part of what I've been trying to do is I've been performing each monologue individually and then kind of revising each one. And that's what I would do with chapters or short stories or essays. But this is still like, I'm doing this in front of people. It's out loud. It's weird. I mean, no, it's weird, exciting, but it's suddenly like, this is live. So the whole idea of, well, I know how to do this on the page and I'm always alone. If you work with an editor, after you finish writing a novel, for example, you didn't work with an editor, do you? I do, but I tend to get published pretty much as an editor. So I've never had a lot of intervention. Right. What about the book art? What about the cover art? I mean, who does that? I guess I've always just sort of given the artist a lot of free range. And it's usually... They might check back with you. Well, that's cool. What you do is you find a place in your more experienced artistic expression where you can see parallels. You see what I mean? So what you could do, since you work really well on your own, you can generate a lot of the connected bits on your own and then join up with the director when you've done kind of the whole thing and have her look at it and help make it more amazing. Do you see what I mean? Yeah, totally. Yeah, totally. But you do work well with others. You work with an editor, but they don't have to intervene. And then you work with an artist through the cover art. Someone that you know that's important. So maybe find a director that you know that could be helpful. You know, if you do know some directors that you like. That all makes so much sense and it seems so obvious. Yeah. Well, it's hard. You know, when you're like standing, sometimes it's hard to see when you're standing right in front of it. Yeah, it's my job. Oh, this is a snake. I love snakes. Oh, I'm doing it for some guests. So Melania and I came out of Argentina. Melania. Melania. From Argentina, AKA Trump Tower. Melania. Well, how can we help you Melania? Sorry. She lives with her husband and three daughters of my family. Oh, yeah. Hi. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I apologize. She says, when I write, I feel that my idea and character is that once seems great, get lost in a structure that I cannot find. I do not know what to do when something that seems so great, such a piece of history. That's really good. So, and Melania, I don't know how you go about, you know, first you have the idea and then you write it. So I don't know what's in between those steps. But I would suggest, if you don't do already, another bad word that I love. Outline. Outline. Outline. Okay? I have gotten a lot out of, outlining where you basically take just one piece of paper and you jot down the beats of your story. Right? So you have this wonderful idea, this awesome idea, you go, I really want to write it. And often we just go in and write it. Yeah! It's like dating. And you have three kids.  You can't just rush into the arms of that person. You know what I mean?  But it probably might be a mess. And it probably wouldn't be as great as you think it's going to be. If you just dive into bed with them or whatever. So you have to kind of do a little bit of, you know, take some steps. And outlining is the way writers take steps. So I would say outline it.  And then you can see it. Almost as if you would be telling a story to one of your kids or a friend. You know? This is what, once upon a time this is what happened and this is what happened and this is what happened and this is what happened. Everything you can imagine is going to happen in your story. And you have an outline. It doesn't have any dialogue. Right? It doesn't have any big stage directions or anything. Right? It just has the beats of the story. And then you write it from there. And that helps you just take some, that's like taking many dates before you take the preliminary show. By the rings or whatever. You look at it like a crazy. I know I've been a little bit. No, not at all. No worries. I've been a lot of dates. I'm not. No, I've been more writing than dating. But, you know, I'm a better around date, you know? Is that helpful? Thank you for tweeting in. Right on. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, hi. So what's your name, you know? So that raises the question for me. How do you still allow for moments of discovery if you've outlined the beats of the story? I know. It doesn't sound like that. Solana? Solana. Solana says, that's a great question.   You've outlined it and you have to do exactly what you do. That's the weird thing about outlining. And I... Have you ever tried outlining? I guess. And so you feel like, you feel like you're straight jacket? I feel straight. So, have you ever been in love? These two things are connected.  I'm serious. Okay, these two things are connected. This is weird. Because it's like that. You get into a committed relationship with somebody or something and it feels like, oh my God, now we have to do everything and we're in the same clothes and like wake up at the same time and do everything. We have to walk together all the time like this. Right? You think, right?  It doesn't sound like it would make sense. Forget love. We're talking about outlining. Okay? So when you outline, I want you to, are your outlines wrong or are they short? They're really pretty short. Like one page. One page.  What does it feel like? And then you don't write it? I mean I write it, but I'm not excited about it. You're not excited about it? And you think you'd be more excited if you didn't outline? Right? So if you were going to take a trip to the Santa Monica Pier. Have you ever been to the Santa Monica Pier? Okay. Has anyone ever been to the Santa Monica Pier? We've always been. It's great. Okay. It's cool. It's a cool place in Santa Monica. Okay. So if I were to say, we're going to get a car, and we're going to just, we don't need a map or anything. We're going to just drive. Right? We might not get there. Right? But, we'll say, you know what we'll stop in, I don't know where, Chicago, and then we'll go across the Badlands, and then we'll go down, you know what I'm saying? Will that make the trip less exciting? But it would give us, I know, I'm going to go here, and then I'm going to go here, and then I'm going to go over here. Freedom is a very funny concept. We think when we don't outline, we can be free. And if we're free, then we can be excited. Right? People want their candidate to be excited. They didn't want to vote for those women who was good to the job.  It's exciting. I don't have much freedom, though, because with freedom comes responsibility. Okay? I would just say, maybe tell yourself, this is a roadmap. It's just doing the pinpoints of where I'm going. This is going to allow me to relax behind the wheel and check out the fabulous scenery. That's what an outline does. You're behind the wheel. Okay? Do you drive? Okay. No, not everybody. Not everybody. And that's cool.  And you're looking and enjoying the scenery. You don't have to be like, where are we going tonight? You don't have to do that. You just, I'm on my way to Chicago. Wow. Allow yourself to look at the scenery in your mind. So if you say, the first thing is, you know, the guys playing cards. And then, by the end of the scene, the girlfriend walks in. Is that boring? Well, I don't know. What's she wearing? Who are they playing cards? Is she playing cards with another woman? Right? What are they drinking? They're not, because he said he wasn't going to drink.  What's great about your outlines is they're not too detailed. Okay? You're just doing the tent poles, as we say, right? Okay? And you're going to walk from one to the other. And you're going to look at the scenery all around as you walk. But that's, wow. And you know, try love, because it's kind of the same thing. It's like a tent pole. Being in love. It's like, in a good relationship. It's like a tent pole. Like, I'm going to glide out of bed tonight. God willing, he's going to be there. It's great. I don't have to think about that. Shit! Who's going to lie in my bed? You know what I mean? I know he's there. He's right here. It's nice. I can look at the scenery. See? Maybe that was too much for me. It's hard to tell sometimes. Maybe I'll tell a question. You just... Yeah, go ahead. So, earlier you answered a question about when you stopped writing. And I loved, you know, you were like, well, you know, once it premieres, I let it go. You don't want to keep writing. So, my question is to do with how precious you keep a thing. Like, at what point do you start sharing it with someone? Right. Right. And at what point and how do you flex that muscle to not be so precious about the whole thing?  Right. And just sharing it with people or being available to change. Right. Such a huge question. Such a huge question. How do you... I mean, how do you develop flexibility? Yeah. You know, it's, yeah, it's a muscle and it's... I mean, sometimes you have to... Like, I just finished a plan on Friday. I would fear my agent, the guy who enacted the Oscars for me this morning. But, he said, I gotta read, you gotta read, you just gotta read too. Like that. And he never says that. So, I was like, okay, I'm gonna give it a try. Just gonna finish it and send it to him. Who are really, who really care about you. Right. We're not, I'm not sharing it with somebody because I'm trying to impress them or anything. It's a friendship thing. So, share it. You have a first draft and you have a good friend who's a good reader, a smart person, right, and cares about you deeply and gives good feedback. Maybe he's giving good feedback on your acting work or stuff, you know, and you have a relationship with him. Then share it with him. Sure. I was my husband, I share, you know, I read a scene and I'll be like, I think, can I read it to you? He's like, of course. And it's not even, you know, it's not even, well, it's not ink anymore, but it's, you know, the ink isn't even dry. Right. I share it with him. How do we not be precious with our work? It's more a function of your personality. I tend to think, I keep working. There's more that came from catching movies.  You do your thing with it and pass it on. That's how I work. It's not everybody works that way. It's a personal thing. If you are more precious with your work than I am, or than Carol, or the lens, and such, you know, it's okay. You know, it's not like, we're not going to be sitting there going, you're so precious with it. It's your thing. It's what you learn when you're comfortable with it. Outline. You know, Carol's an outline. Yeah. But I guess I'm sort of doing it as I go. Right. And then along the way, I sort of think I have this, I think I've finished the play. Right. But I really have it. Right. That's really my outline. Right. Oh, cool. You know, like I've written this, written it out. I know it's not going to be the permanent part. Right. Right. But inside me, I know that I want it where I'm headed. Right. Because it won't map it away. But now then, as you have taught us to do, put it aside. Right. Like a pie, pouring. Right. It's such a, a good thing that you're taught. And, um, and so I put aside for a month or so. Right. And then, when I read back, I'm really not happy with what I have. Right. Right. So I have to re-move it. That's the stage I'm at now. Right. I thought it was much better than it was. Uh-huh. Right. And so I spent today just reading. Just reading what I had. Good. I know it's not long enough, it's not deep enough. I'm just thinking about how do I feel about this? Right. Play now. I'm jotting down. That's very great. You know. That's a perfect recipe for how to do it. Different, different ideas. Right. So that I can now think about that. Right. And when I'm ready, dive in to the cold water. Right. Right. Right. The water is probably not as cold as you want it to be.  At least a lot of work. Maybe it needs more work than I thought. OK? Right. But you re-read it. You're taking notes and then you go back to it. And I think that's really great. I did the same thing. That's all you got. Sometimes you write something that's not as good as you thought. You think about it. Sometimes you write something that you think is not very good. It's better than it is what you thought. You know what I mean? It doesn't matter. All you have to do is show us to work. Take up an honest look at it or show to a friend. The first reaction is for something else. Right. Right. And then I think, you know, that's not the right thing to do. The challenge is to go back and now realize that this is not deep enough to make it good. Right. Right. Exactly.  Right? Who loves writing more than you write? People are writing more than you write. Oh, you shouldn't be writing. See? And who loves rewriting more than writing? And I'm a rewriter. I'm more than a rewriter than a writer. You have to be braiding either way. You have to be super braiding too. And it's just a different kind of bravery. But it's true. We're out of time. We're out of time. We've got to go away and come back next week. We'll be back next week. Yeah. We'll be back next week. Okay. So thanks for coming and we'll see you in the week. Bye.

And what we're doing is really we're creating data everywhere in the world and that data is extremely helpful in places where data is lacking or insufficient. Once you have data in place, you can model and predict the weather accurately and we are also doing modeling work around weather of course and on top of it we build products. What we did specifically in India over the last two years was looking at what we call the weather of things, virtual sensors, things that are not supposed to sense the weather, but we can use in order to create reliable weather data. So we started with cellular networks and we tapped into networks that cover the entire country and by reverse engineering the signals in the air into weather data we can out tell in a very localized way where is it raining in every piece of India and based on that predict. A month ago we launched our software in India in our API and now we can provide solutions for all kind of industries and soon also to consumers. We announced our global forecasting system and it works in over 35 cities in India. We provide 24 to 48 hours alert of localized events with very high resolution and accuracy. I see, I see. So who are your customers? You know what is your customer base? In India specifically are you in collaboration with any company who are your potential partners? So our potential partners are of course on the airline space, on the agriculture space and specifically on the renewable and energy space. India is very strongly on the renewable space and we've been talking to a few customers in that area. We just launched in India so we're now in early discussions and hopefully before the monsoon season our technology will be in the hands of as many customers as possible. Besides being the first player advantage what differentiator do you see in your technology that will ensure that you have a dominant position in a country like India? So it's all about the data and the traditional approach is to come and install sensors and then maintain them. I see. It's not scalable in such a space. It's not scalable when farmers don't have the option to pay for their premium like they can in developed countries. So our approach is basically reducing the cost and making the technology installation much more scalable because if everything is software based then you can do it rapidly and that's how you can take a country from very low weather data and quality of weather data to almost like in the US without breaking the bank and that's I think our main advantage. The second advantage is the fact that we can turn those data points to reliable weather models. The data simulation piece, how you take this data and make it valuable for the forecast is something very unique to us.


you today. This is Marc. I'm doing great. Thanks for asking. I have an interesting lesson for you today. Let's look at our examples, shall we? I don't like watching talk shows on TV. Neither do I. He went to work this morning, so did I. I didn't understand your comment. He did. They'll visit their cousin next week. We want. John has been studying Italian since 2005. Me too. In this lesson, we're going to look at how to agree or disagree in a statement. So stay tuned. Great. So we're going to agree and disagree with a statement. Some people find it so hard to agree and disagree with a statement. They basically use me too for everything. Well, that's wrong. Let me tell you first that in order to watch this lesson, you should be able to understand all the tenses and all the modal verbs because we are going to use the auxiliaries of the tenses. So I suggest you review all those lessons. So agree with a statement. In a negative sentence, we use neither. It has two pronunciations, neither or neither. You can choose. So for example, I don't like watching talk shows on TV. I said, right? The other person or yourself would say, neither or neither do I. Now the formula for this answer would be neither obviously or neither plus auxiliary. The auxiliary of the sentence of the other statements of the other person. So if I say I don't like, you understand that the auxiliary would be do, right? So neither do and then the pronoun or the subject. So if you're talking about yourself, neither do I or neither does she for example, talking about Mary. Okay. So it depends. Now let's look at another example. He won't be late for the meeting. He won't be late for the meeting. So neither or neither will she another person. Neither or neither will she. So neither plus auxiliary. The auxiliary is will because he's talking about a future sentence. So neither will and then the subject or the pronoun. Neither will she. So what happens if the sentence is positive and you want to agree? You use so. He went to work this morning. He went to work this morning. And I want to say me too, right? In this case, you can say me too. So did I. So did I or me too. So plus the auxiliary of the other person's statement did because he's went, right? Is the past of the verb to go. So did I. So did I. Now another example. They've lost their pen. So I would say so has he. So plus auxiliary of the present perfect because the statement was using the present perfect. So has he. So has he. Okay, let's take a look at the disagreeing part now. If the statement is negative, then you will use subject or the pronoun plus the auxiliary. Let's take a look at the example. I didn't understand your comment. I didn't understand your comment. The person, the other person would say he auxiliary subject, sorry, or pronoun. He did. He did. So I disagree with that statement in the negative. If it's a negative statement, I would say he. Okay, the subject did the same auxiliary of the statement of the original statement. He did in the past, obviously. Now another example. He doesn't work on Mondays. He's very lucky. He doesn't work on Mondays. I do. I, the subject, and then the auxiliary of the statement, the original statement. I do. Now let's take a look at a positive sentence. To disagree with a positive statement, I would use the subject plus the auxiliary plus not. So the introductory example was they'll visit their cousin next week. They'll visit their cousin next week. We won't. So the subject or the pronoun we will not want. We won't. Okay, because the original was in the future and I use the same auxiliary of the future. We will not. We won't. Another example. She's from Italy. She's from Italy. I'm not. I'm not. I am not. You can say I am not, but we usually contract it and we say I'm not. I'm not. I am not, which is the verb to be and the verb to be, you know, that it works by itself, right? So the auxiliary is the verb to be and you use it to disagree with a positive sentence in this case, right? I'm not. You cannot say if you want to, for example, she isn't from Italy and you want to disagree with that. I would say I am, I am, no, I'm. We cannot contract I am. We use I am not I'm. But if you add not, you can contract it. I'm not because you're stressing not right there. Okay, let's take a look at me too. So if the statement has to be positive to use me too. Let's take a look at my example, my introductory example. John has been studying Italian since 2005. I would say me too, me too. Or I could say so have I. Very good. Or you can say, like John, I too have been studying Italian. Okay, this is another usage or another example or another way to say the same thing. Or you can even use as well. John has been studying Italian since 2005. And you can say I have, so auxiliary of the present perfect, because we're talking about the present perfect simple right there, present perfect continuous, sorry. And then the auxiliaries have or has, I have as well, as well instead of too, as well, which means too. Now, be careful when the sentence is negative, like in this case, John has never been to Australia. Never is the negative part, right, of the sentence. John has never been to Australia. And then you would answer me neither or me neither, or even say neither or neither have I. And we use the same auxiliary in this case have. Neither have I. Or you can say, like John, I have never been to Australia either, either. Okay, like John, I have never been to Australia either. Well, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the lesson and you understood it. And if you want to share the lesson you may do so, you will do a great favor to me. Have a great day. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't. And see you next week. Take care. Bye bye.

George Santos, whose financial fraud was revealed, may soon be expelled from Congress. House Republicans who previously opposed efforts to oust Republican U.S. Representative George Santos are now lining up to expel him after a scathing ethics report accused the embattled New York lawmaker of brazen campaign fraud and theft. The House of Representatives Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest introduced the bill targeting the first term lawmaker from New York, who is now known as much for being a fabulous and a criminal defendant, as a politician. Santos has been engulfed in scandal since his 2022 election, following revelations that he lied about much of his past and federal fraud charges. The report, released by the House Ethics Committee, found that Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit. The New York Republican has portrayed himself as a self-made wealthy financier and property owner. The report stated that background was largely fictional. He not only invented jobs at top banks, but bragged about a property portfolio and luxury cars. At no point does Representative Santos appear to have owned a Maserati, despite telling campaign staff otherwise. The report stated, I will continue on my mission to serve my constituents up until I am allowed. Santos wrote on X shortly after the report came out. I will however not be seeking re-election for a second term in 2024, as my family deserves better than to be under the gun from the press all the time.


Going on everyone Sam here late in sports guards ripping one box of 22 a penny need down res elite football hobby for Colby It's gonna look cool.

from our studios in the heart of Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, California, this is a CUBE Conversation. Hi everybody, welcome to the CUBE's Palo Alto Studios. My name is Dave Vellante and digital transformation is the big buzzword today and everybody's trying to become a digital business. What does that mean? Well, digital business means that you're using data in new ways to drive business value but protecting that data has become increasingly important. It's not just about backing that data up anymore. It's really about managing that data through a full life cycle and finding new use cases for all those assets that you have. Rama Kalapan is here. He is vice president of product management at Dell EMC data protection division. Rama, great to see you, welcome to the CUBE. Thanks for coming on. Thank you, good to see you again. So, relatively new to Dell EMC. Talk about your role as head of product management and what lured you to Dell EMC? Absolutely, it's been a few months here. I run the data protection division for appliances in product management, right? And one of the things, as you know, data protection is one of the hot areas and I've been in this space for a while and one of the things I was looking for is to continue to be in this space and there's a lot of innovation happening. You know, there's almost a billion dollar in private capital that was raised in this space and I was looking for a place where a company is doing a couple of things. One is a lot of investment in R&D and as you know, with a lot of announcements that's happening, we've been investing a lot and secondly, innovation, right? New technologies, new areas, both from the software and appliances point of view. So, I was saying upfront, you know, talking about digital business, people use the term data capital. We were joking a lot, we hear the term, phrase data is the new oil and we say no, data's actually more valuable than oil. You can put oil in your car, you can put it in your house, you can't put it in both data, you can use it in so many different ways. So data capital, people are becoming more aware of the value of data and then obviously we're going to talk about protecting it but you guys use that term data capital, what does it mean to you? We use it a lot and customers actually use it even more often, right? Essentially, a lot of the customers and most of the organization in general, they're actually considered themselves as technology companies and they differentiate among themselves in if it is a retail customer or if it is any other segment with the type of data that they have, right? And the kind of differentiation they offer is like what value can they derive out of it and how can they differentiate with that data? So the data capital is very important. I mean, it's not about backup anymore, right? Once you have your secondary data, customers expect that they want to use that for multiple use cases. So that's where the data capital plays a very important role in many, many areas. So ever since I've been in the business, customers have problems and your job is as technology suppliers to solve those problems. So talk about why data protection is so difficult from a customer standpoint. What are their challenges, specifically as it relates to data protection? See, when I've been talking to a customer for many years especially on the data protection context, right? As you know, the complexity of the customer environment is changing quite a bit and it's a very dynamic environment. What I mean by that is whether they want to actually manage the data or protect the data on-prem, in the cloud, hybrid, et cetera. The type of workloads has become pretty complex as well in the sense that it used to be traditional databases and of course the VMware workloads, et cetera. Now it is all the NoSQL, MySQL and different type of workloads, AIML workloads. So that has become quite complex as well. Secondly, it's also about the data growth and I've seen companies and customers basically with 50 to 80% data growth in one year, right? That's incredible, a lot of data. And finally, it's also about any major events, like for example ransomware attacks or any downtime that happens. So what customers are looking for is a solution that can actually help them with that, right? Like a very air gap solution for cyber recovery type solutions, et cetera. The impact of losing data is much higher. I mean, it just seems to get worse and worse every year, right? As data becomes more important to our business, having whether it's a breach or a loss of data or any outage really is just more costly than it's ever been. Totally agree, I mean, that's where the more customers, I mean, when we talk to customers, it's not about the backup admins anymore. That is the users were actually using that database admins. We actually talked to CISOs, the security officers, especially when we are dealing with some of the ransomware type use cases, et cetera, right? So that's getting very interesting as we move forward. Yeah, the old bromide backup is one thing. Recovery is everything. And now recovery has a much, much wider meaning. You're recovering from a lot of different places. There's a lot more complexity in sort of the data stores. The edge is starting to become more prominent. People are using the term data management more often. And data management can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. The database people have one view of what data management is. What is data management to Dell EMC? And what is the shift going on from the data protection to data management? It's, I'm glad you asked that because the market is already shifted in that direction, right? Used to be data protection is an insurance copy. You should be able to restore it and you should be good with that, right? But customers actually are looking for, they already are protecting the data. I mean, it's a secondary copy. They expect that they use that copy for multiple use cases. I've seen a lot of customers spinning up a copy for DevTest use cases, whether it's on-prem or in the cloud. For DR use cases, they can actually reduce the infrastructure cost running analytics on it, search and providing insights within the data set if you will, right? So tons of use cases. So that is the shift that we're seeing and especially here at Dell EMC, we are investing quite a bit on the data management part of it and new technologies play a critical role in there with AI, ML use cases, IoT use cases, blockchain use cases and so on and so forth, right? So that shift has already happened. Yeah, to me, Remba, too, it's about leveraging that asset.  We, you know, you talk about ransomware. You can use analytics to identify anomalous behavior. I mean, even air gaps, people can get through them. So you're not, you're never safe and so you need to be vigilant and being able to apply these data management techniques becomes increasingly important for digital businesses. Absolutely, we actually look for, especially from enterprise customers, we look for a few attributes, right? For data management, which are primarily scale, performance, reliability and a whole bunch of use cases from a usability point of view, cloud use cases and so on and so forth. Well, let's dig into that a little bit. So what are the important aspects and attributes of a data management solution from Dell EMC's point of view? See, for example, if you look at performance, right? We have actually built in flash within our disk-based appliance for catering use cases to the use cases like instant access, instant recovery for databases. We also support random IO, you know, IOps of about 40K with a very minimal, almost like a 20 millisecond latency et cetera, right? So performance is key. Secondly, scale, right? Customers are looking for scale, for example, within the appliances portfolio. Customers can start small and they can actually replace the controller, grow from, you know, a six series data domain appliance to all the way to a nine series, scale up to a petabyte. And if you have a D-loop of say 50 to one, that's almost like a 50 petabyte of data in Active Tier. We actually support 2X in cloud, which means that's 150 petabyte of data. That's scale, right? And the third part is the reliability part, right? We use a very robust architecture, DIA-based data invulnerability architecture. That actually is very important for customers because this is the last resort for them. This is the last copy as part of data protection, right? And customers rely on Dell EMC for that. And finally, some of the capabilities, as I mentioned, right? Cloud use cases, we support multi-cloud and multi-cloud is very important for customers now. Multiple use cases and then usability. We track some of the metrics like from box to backup. That's important. We look at some of the manageability, upgradability and serviceability use cases very critical. So those are kind of the key attributes I would highlight in terms of what we do and what we focus on and pretty much aligned with what customers are looking for. So talk a little bit more about the product portfolio. Dell EMC has always been on a cadence of product. People buy product. I like that, you know, R&D turns into product and generates revenue, solves customer problems. How should we think about the portfolio? How it's evolving? So as I said earlier, right? What was intriguing and very interesting for me is the investment they're putting in R&D, right? And from a portfolio point of view, especially for appliances, we have the whole nine series and then the six series for the high-end data domain, right? As a target appliance, we have the, of course the three series for the low-end and we have the mid-market as well.  And then we also have the eight series and five series for the higher end. So overall we have, from a portfolio point of view, we have the integrated appliance, we have the target appliance in the PBBA market and we have the data protection suite from a software point of view where all of our multiple use cases that we cater to for customers. All right, so we've talked about some of the challenges the customers are facing, you know, kind of why it's so difficult. Some of the trends in data protection, the portfolio, what do customers view as success? How do they measure success? What are the outcomes that you're trying to achieve with customers? See, from customers, I mean, we are successful if customers are successful, right? And primarily what we are looking for and we've heard from customers is that we provide solution that will help with lowering the TCO, right, and what they do with that is essentially invest in new technologies like, you know, in data science, AI, ML, IoT, blockchain as I talked about, right? We've seen customers take that dollar and invest in their business and that's how they can actually be successful, right? And finally, customers are also looking for one solution that can actually cater to many needs. It's not just your data protection but be able to use the secondary data to, you know, solve many of these use cases whether it's your DR or DevTest and so on and so forth.  Again, if we talk about analytics before, I think that's a key part of it. Last question, Dell Technologies World is coming up into April, early May. This is our 10th year doing theCUBE. The first CUBE we ever did was at the predecessor of Dell Technologies World, the EMC World 2010. We're excited theCUBE will be there again with typically one of our biggest shows of the year. What can you tell us? What to expect? Some of you, some of the innovations you're talking about? Show a little leg or a DTW. I'll talk about this. It's going to be a lot of exciting news both from the appliances and software side. You just have to wait to hear it. It's just one month away and we are super excited to announce a lot of innovation here. Raman, thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. Thank you, Dave. Appreciate it. You're very welcome. All right, thanks for watching everybody. This is Dave Vellante on theCUBE from our Palo Alto office. We'll see you next time.


In this short video, I want to remind you and re-inspire you about how amazing you are, particularly your brain. How amazing and capable and full of potential that it is.  Each neuron in your brain fires between 5 to 50 times per second.  Now, you know how many connection points are in each neuron? The estimate right now is 3,000 to 5,000 connection points or synapses in each neuron. And guess how many neurons you have? 100 billion neurons is what you have in your brain. It's by the current estimate. Now, just to put that in perspective, think about all the people there are in your country, in your nation. And then think about the 1 billion people in China and I think close to 1 billion in India. Think of all the people in the world. There are 7 billion people in the world. Incredible, incredible number. Virtually speaking to us, it's like unlimited, right? Well, there are 14 times as many neurons in your brain as there are people on earth. So, 100 billion neurons in your brain right now. Each one having up to 5,000 connection points or synapses.  Buddy is very, very brave. So, there are 500 trillion little microprocessors in your brain right now. It's like having your own personal internet. You are capable of much more than you currently are doing and probably much more capable than you can imagine. Let me talk to you about the growth mindset which is a recent popular and that's Buddy terrorizing the little German Shepherd there. Buddy is very brave. There's a recent very popular and important theory in psychology and education called the growth mindset versus the fixed mindset. Most of us grow up with the fixed mindset about our abilities. As you grow up, you probably believed that you have a natural talent for certain things and you are naturally bad at other things because we receive grades in school and if you got a C in writing or got a B in art or got an A in math or whatever you got, you think well that's how good I am at certain things. I must be good at math or bad at math. I must be good at art or bad at art. What they are discovering is when recent brain research into this concept called neuroplasticity is that your brain is changing and changing itself every day based on what you do. Based on the activities you do, your brain makes new connections or strengthens current connections or other connections that used to be strong with or away and your brain keeps growing cells all the way until the end of your life, not just when you're young. So the growth mindset tells us that whatever you want to be good at, whatever talent or skill that you want to get better at, you can all the way until the end of your life, you can through practice, coaching if you can do some coaching, but definitely through learning, reading, practice, talking to other people about it, using that skill you can keep improving upon any skill you want. So remember this, remember how amazing you are and how capable you are and how much potential you have. Until the next video, I hope you can be even more understanding of your creativity and your potential. Be well.

Okay, estimated there are about 270 open access journals which is really quite significant. We have collated a list of open educational journals on our website so do have a look at that if you are interested in it. Mae'n gwybod, mae'n gwybod nesaf i'ch gweithio, yw'n gweithio'r ddigonol y gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio, mae'n gweithio'r sfer o'r bloghau. A'n dweud yw'n dweud i'r cynnwys ymddangos ar gyfer y dywedig a'r gweithio'r gweithio'r ddigonol yn gyfrifiadau. Felly yn dweud yw yma ym 3 mewn, mae'n dweud i'r ddigonol yn gyfrifiadau ar gyfer y dywedig a'n dweud i'r gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio unig. We started in 2016 and as Grony mentioned it was really about capacity development particularly for younger researchers and scholars but also for for all academics because it's such a busy world we're trying to find time to slow down and print out an article and read it. Yn ymweld, mae ydych yn wych, o'r ein bwch sydd â'r argylchedd, o cyfnod ar gyfer gael y cyfnodol, yn y gwyfyddiadau o newid ymlaen. Mae oeddwn i'n gweithio y top 10. Mae'r methgyrchu yn ymddangos ei wneud, os ydych chi'n gallu meddwl. a we will talk a bit more about that. So we released them once a day on Twitter in December of 2016, so we got a bit of hype going that way and got a bit of attention to it and said we will wait for an article next week and so on. Then in 27 we did it again. Again in December we had our top 10 reads from a number of journals so we added in some more. So we blogged about the articles as well and we explained a bit about each of them. So we had a number of selection criteria and the questions we were asking is how do we evaluate these articles? They've already been peer reviewed and so on so they meet certain criteria, but what is the value for us in reading them and for us as a research team and for promoting scholarly reading and scholarship more generally? And who do we involve and how do we get people to and what is the validity of our selection? So our selection criteria were that they needed to be published in an open access journal and all of the journals are what could be called diamond open access and that they don't charge ABCs so they're very accessible to publishing. Restricted to higher education but inclusive teacher education. We were looking for journals that had some kind of an international outlook or focus. We had some preference to journals published by professional bodies, learned societies, trying to support them. We were and again this was not necessarily fully uncontroversial decision that we had a preference for literature reviews, meta-analyses because they would give people an introduction to an area and also the ones that were addressing new and emerging areas or major gaps. Other minor preferences, journals challenging, conventional thinking, articles current to our projects and things we had on. So there was a kind of a random element to it that way as well. And then we were trying to get a mix of gender, cultural, geographic diversity. I had to say this was a lot of work. We had a really large list of journal articles to go through and many of you may know I've only been at the DCU since September. So it was my first time. So December was quite a manic time trying to read all these articles. But Mark Brown is very active on Twitter and releasing these on a daily basis gave it some oomph and anticipation and we've had lots of people saying it was really valuable. So these are some of the articles from 2017. Blended learning citation patterns and publication networks. A couple here, thematic patterns in international blended learning. Review in content analysis of the international review of research in open and distance learning, distributed learning. Trends and patterns in MOOCs. Theories and frameworks for online education. Critical review of the use of Wenger's community of practice. Again, that's an interesting one because the COP framework has been used extensively by people. So there's lots of interest in it. Refining success and dropouts in massive online courses based on the intention behaviour gap. Educational resources. And again here, Laurie's a very well-known name in the field. National study of online learning leaders in US higher education. Bot teachers. A very topical issue. Gamification again. Very topical. So we had 22 authors in 2017. A good geographical spread. About 60% men, 40% women. There were notable gaps in the reports we cited in research topics. Arodo was still a very important leading publication. And the majority were aligned with, as Amon said, professional bodies. Agents again. Another very important journal. Very high impact. And linked with the very well-known Ascolite conference which occurs in Australia and New Zealand. So I think I'll hog the light a bit here. Sorry. In 2018 we had a Google Drive folder where we put all the articles. And I think there were around about 100, I seem to remember. So a lot of articles to read. And there were four of us, just four of us, I think, reviewing them. Is that right? We had a wider group at one stage. We had a big wide group and then it was a sub-selection of four of us for a finish. So that was Mark, Maread, Amon and myself. And then we chose them each individually. And then gave reasons for our choices. And then ultimately Mark was the one who made the final decision. As which ones we would go ahead with. I'm going to hand over to you. So I've given a shout out to Ajet as well. I'm involved as an editor on Ajet. And trends and patterns in the open hemisphere. I always think as well with articles a good title is key. Because it's... And the open hemisphere. Someone, Martin Dougie, I must have given out last night on Twitter about the global south. He didn't like to turn the global south. But I think we can all probably agree the open hemisphere is a great title. Helping doctors, students, this Melissa Bond. Really interesting one as well. Cracked publication code. One from the International Journal of Educational Technology and Higher Education. From ALT's own research and learning technology. It's also big on our radar. And some fellow called Martin Weller with his 20 years of ed tech. We only put science when you'd be here. Yeah exactly. We have to place that in when we saw him coming in there. Which is a great read. I'm sure everyone's familiar with a great piece of scholarship. Because we have to remember where we came from. Several others. I guess the other thing is to mention that these are only a fraction of the actual extent literature. Because he or I had a brilliant study out in F1000 research last year. About how much of the worldwide literature is open access or not. And very little of it is. And that was one of the things in our selection. We were saying are we going to include green access. And obviously publishing the repository in closed journals. And we're still debating about whether we include those or not. So these are the top journals that we have been looking at and reading. We've mentioned most of them. The Journal of Online Learning is another one open praxis. That we haven't mentioned yet. And distance education is sneaking in there. But it's not an open access journal. And there's somebody here. The editors of the new special edition coming out on open educational practices in that journal. So there's been some talk about the accessibility of that. So three takeaways. An increased number of systematic reviews. And meta-analyses. And that's not uncontested. We're still primary research is very important. But we're trying to give people access to literature. And say look here's a key document you can get into a field quickly. It's a primer if you like. The blurring of boundaries between open and closed publications. Those differences between gold access and green access. And that can get very complex. People almost need a type of open access literacy to understand that. And a question of whether the best article still remain in closed journals. So that the most prestigious and highly cited journals. Such as computers and education for example is not in our list. And we're just... No we're not out of time. We're out of time. So as I said before it was really difficult to choose. And of course it's very biased. But it's a really interesting exercise to take part on. And certainly from a personal point of view. It's great to be forced to read all those articles. And find out what was going on. Eamon mentioned systematic reviews. I think one of the reasons we chose Martin's article. Was it was a key point in terms of giving a trajectory. Of where Ed Tech had gone to over the last 20 years. So it was very valuable from that point of view. So the question is is too much reading really a bad thing. I think the answer has got to be no. And do you have to pay to be a member of the gym for the best exercise. So that's the analogy in terms of the kind of open closed argument. And I think it's interesting that a number of people are increasingly choosing to only publish openly. And refusing to publish or review for closed journals. And I think that's a good thing. And we still got the issue about playing the game in terms of. The perception that articles in closed journals are better. And count more for things like the research assessment exercise in the UK. So I think there's still a battle to be had in terms of what happens. And the final question is does open scholarship need re-centering. So that's what we leave you with. I think we've got a little bit of time for discussion. We'd love to hear from you about how do you read what's your strategy. Do you get things from colleagues? Do you find it on social networks? Or would this kind of exercise be of interest for you? Merid joined us so I'm going to put it on the spot. Is there anything you want to add Merid? I think the next step for us is actually either demystifying that debate or saying well actually it's true. So we can go through this exercise and we can select our top ten journals. But then I think we need to do another step. And to take that step and go okay let's look at the most cited articles whether they're in open or closed and let's try to do a comparative analysis. So that for me is for us to challenge and potentially come back and say well okay using whichever template that we choose to do that and basis for that analysis but I think we need to do that because I think it's the next step of debunking or saying that the myths are true. I think it's interesting in terms of citations. Often the articles that get most cited are not actually good or being criticised. So I did an article a few years ago with a colleague Martin from Southampton on affordances and it was really heavily criticised and therefore it was heavily cited. So that was a good way of guessing lots of five journals. No none of them did and it's a really good question Francis because I think that's important. Maybe it's like a political decision if you're going to combine yourself to open access literature. You may be missing some evidence or some research but you're also saying this is accessible and it's replicable and if you're following principles of open science and you're doing systematic review of closed literature that's not a replica for the study era. Where they probably do closed access and I do think that the most significant issue anyway is the issue of article processing. Yeah it's interesting isn't it? I think we all play the game don't we? So when I wrote my learning design book for Springer when I put the proposal in I said I'm going to live blog chapters as I go and they accepted that and actually that made the book much much better because people came back to the blog post and said I really like this I'm not sure what you mean by this and have you seen these references. So the book was informed by the wider community and at the end I had a reputable product but I also had that history of open versions of the chapters. Hi you've limited yourself to open access articles. What I see is that a lot of things are happening and interesting things are set on blog posts and that's often that's more up to date than a lot of articles so how do you look at that? I started blogging back in 2007 and actually I emailed Martin, I don't know if you remember this Martin and said I'm thinking of blogging and he gave me some really good advice It's all my fault. All my rubbish is out there and actually the blogging is invaluable and I often use the blog as a place to work up half-baked ideas so I developed a taxonomy for MOOCs for example and I put it in a blog post and eventually I published it in a journal article so I agree I think the blogosphere is incredibly valuable increasingly important. The other thing is if I publish in a closed journal I'll be lucky if five people read the abstract. If I publish a blog post and I tweet it it goes to 10,000 people and then invariably two or three people will tweet it it's getting to a far greater audience I think for most of us people know our work through our blog posts rather than our closed journals. Great initiative I think, Gloria and I completely agree with you the more reading we do the better. I wondered about your reflections on what's happened in the UK there's a UK centric question I know but for people who are not aware in the UK the research excellence framework exercise that's what we are doing lots of reading to judge our own publications but they made a decision that to be eligible to be reported on for and judged therefore in the research excellence exercise that journal articles had to be open access and personally I think that's a really significant shift into considering the quality of publications on their own merit rather than I mean I do have colleagues who still want to do ICI ranked journals and think that that's the gold standard but I think the combination of that push from the general ref panel and the statement by the education panel that they don't look at outputs there's the location of the outputs they read all the articles that they get to judge I think both of those things are moving us in the right direction but interested to know what your thoughts are I totally agree, I think that's a really significant shift and in parallel a lot of funding bodies are requiring the outputs from projects to be publicly available and that's got to be a good thing, it has to be I mean as researchers we want to get our work out there and we want to get feedback on it so the more open it is the better the more likely we'll get a reaction to it I mentioned the POR that I'll study they're kind of one of my current ed tech femme ed tech heroes I guess but they've got a cool service called Unpaywall that they've developed which is brilliant but they have another thing which is called impact story and you could do this if you like as a reflective exercise impact story and put in your name or possibly your orchid ID and it will tell you where you are in the percentile for open access publishing in the world so they'll say you're in the top 3% of x% of your publications are open access which is really nice and possibly something you can do to evidence to your institution if you ever need to about your publishing OK, thank you very much, we're out of time now Thank you very much, and you're welcome

what's up guys welcome back to the channel I'm EvilRabbit so today we're gonna talk about the G920 and the aftermarket wheels and some things that I think you guys should know if you guys are planning on changing your rim to a full-sized rim or stuff like that as you guys know I am rocking my new energy innovations Alcaterra suede wheel so there's some few things that I should definitely let you guys know as you know I have no buttons or anything on the back of mine I have all the buttons completely removed there's nothing behind it because all my buttons are off to the side so I will leave the link for the video about the buttons on the side in the description box below on how I moved them so you guys can refer to that for moving them so the biggest thing is today we're gonna talk about weights of wheels and stuff like that and different options you have for installing an aftermarket wheel on the G920 things I found that I believe everybody should know so we're gonna take this rim off take it over to the other side and do a little comparison so let's uh let's do it so I just have it mounted straight to my adapter which I'm gonna show you guys here once I get this unscrewed trying to do this while holding a camera and unscrewing my bolts at the same time you know multitasking then you got the rabbit in the background drinking his water over there that's what the clicking is so I'm gonna get this unscrewed here fully so we should be able to take this off right there leave our screws right there and now let's get into the adapter that I have on here okay so if you notice like I said there's nothing behind my rig behind the wheels I just use a standard adapter that's 3d printed I will leave the link for it is an AM Studios adapter that I had 3d printed and it's a flush adapter so he does have another adapter like this it's called the boss adapter so this is a if you notice the thickness difference this is a custom designed one that he gave to me so this simply slides over the G920 once you take all the wheel off it slides simply it's got the exact thing it will slide right on the shaft of the G920 so this is the adapter that I'm using because I don't have my buttons or anything back there there's some other 3d printed ones that you can do if you have access to a 3d printer that you can put on with the factor wheel which you're gonna actually get into with the buttons and stuff like that and we're gonna do some weighing to weigh the difference between the G920 wheels the aftermarket wheels my wood grain versus my okatera and stuff like that like I said I'll leave all the links for me moving on the side I did put my L and R buttons here for right now just because I kept tired of going back the description on how to move all that in the description box so you can refer to those videos so let's move over behind me on to a little white board so we can take a look at some other things about the wheels and changing it over and stuff like that all right so as you can see we got a lot of things going on right here we got my minty green and neurochrome energy wheel we got the Alcatero wheel we got stock G920 rim and we do have a scale back here which we're gonna get to in a minute so the stock G920 wheel obviously the sizing is way different you go from a 300 I believe it's like a 250 maybe 300 to like a 350 wheel so with all the button controls and everything here and you guys know that the wheel goes in I don't have the buttons out so I can't pull those all the way out that you have the center so if you guys are changing over to a full-size rim but you don't want to remove the buttons from behind it's quite actually simple when you take the wheel off of course you would be removing these two I do show that in the other video that I'm leaving in the description box you do remove these two buttons that so you can actually get the full rim off so I had a simple billet adapter of course I have an energy sticker on there now I drilled these holes in the hair these holes aren't actually on it it's just these holes right here so this billet adapter is available online I believe it's like 25 bucks I'll leave a description on it this actually screws right onto the button control with these screws with the factory screws that hold the G920 rim on so once you do that you have the ability to put a 70 millimeter hub rim right onto it now the only problem with this that I found is the buttons are really close to the spokes on a flat style wheel this is what I used to run but if you had a rim like this as you can see the buttons are a little bit more accessible but the side button is still pretty pretty close to that so that's one of the things I think you should know about that but with this this itself weighs 5.5 ounces so you're adding this to the G920 and then you're adding a rim which is also heavier how much heavier is the question because the boss adapter weighs 1.8 ounces or is that weighs 5.4 so the 3d printed adapter weighs definitely a lot less it's just as strong so now the question goes how much more does the aftermarket rims weigh well we're going to take all the parts to the G920 rim controller wheel top piece and the actual weight of a G920 rim is 1 pound 6.3 ounces so that's a factor G920 rim that's how much a factory G920 rim weighs with all the buttons so now for my rig I'm running 1.9 ounces so basically two ounces more on my boss adapter and my Alcaterra wheel only weighs 2.1 so the difference between all the buttons on the G920 rim if you take everything off 1.6 to 2.1 is only you know it's not it's 1.6 I mean it's not super it's not that much heavier I mean of course it is heavier so and the difference between say my Alcaterra wheel which is 2.1 and my mint green and narrow chrome is pretty much the same so the energy wheel is pretty much all way the same but the only difference is if you are say you're taking the factory rim or a faker adapter you're adding a billet adapter so you're starting off at 5.6 now you're going up to 11 then you're adding a rim on there you're at 2.2 2 pounds 12 ounces so it gets pretty heavy if you're putting a billet adapter on your G920 and going with that so would I recommend a 3d printed one I definitely would because it's a lot lighter there's not much weight to it especially if you're going up to full-size rims with the G920 not having so much torque on it you may run into a loss of feedback feel which there is a bit of a loss of feedback feel when you go from the small rim to the bigger rim because of the size of the wheel and the weight so does it help drive of course it does it feels so much better it feels more realistic by far so to basically sum this all up we're gonna go back over to the rig with the rim and sum everything up real quick but just a little some things that I wanted you guys to know the weights of the wheels and stuff like that things that I think you should know if you're changing your wheel pulling the buttons out through the center is definitely an easy way if you don't use paddle shifters and you have an H pattern so we're gonna go back over to the rig and do a little summary of up and sum this all up real quick and then we'll you know go from there so we got our wheel back on so to sum everything up buttons to the side definitely better for wear and tear for drifting especially if you have a handbrake wired in to say one of the paddles that's only of course if you're using a shifter and of course my handbrake which is wired to the paddle shifter and stuff like that so it's changing the wheel a good thing it gives you a more realistic feel I feel like it gives you a lot more control you do have to worry about weight you will lose a little bit of force feedback doing a 3d printed adapter is way better than I feel the billet adapter they do make some 3d printed adapters that go on the buttons which I don't have that you can just put the rim on top of the buttons with the paddles back there so you don't have to worry about pulling everything off to the side if you're not comfortable pulling everything off to the side so I just want to make this video give you guys some you know things that I feel you should know if you're changing your rim on your G920 as you guys can see it's definitely a big big concave dish there got a little light refraction there so things I feel you should know so I guys I hope you guys enjoyed this I hope it's a bit informative I know a lot of people been asked about the wheel weights and stuff like that so that's why I want to let you guys know about the rim weight so I hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope you guys got some good information out of it so as always I mean we're at it I'll see you guys on the next one
