Would you like to make an opening statement about the intentions of the CPG, please? Thank you, convener, and good morning to committee. I would like to propose a cross-party group on changing places toilets. The purpose of the cross-party group is to raise awareness of the essential need of accessible toilets for all of Scotland's citizens. I would like to investigate the feasibility of a changing places toilet fund for local authorities and small community groups to access. That would continue the work of former MSP Mary Fee in conjunction with currently serving MSP Jeremy Balfour. Scottish disability charities and Scottish changing place toilet campaigners have been calling on the Scottish Government to recognise that not all Scotland's citizens are treated equally. There is a section of society that cannot access basic human rights and have their needs met.  That is due to a lack of facilities. That can lead to a host of problems, infection, mental health, health issues, due to not leaving their home and the possibility of hospitalisation in the long run that affects the public purse. As a group, we would like to explore retail and business. With retail and business, how they can change their outlook on disability and how changing their business model could be beneficial to all. We would invite parents, carers, SCN teachers to join our CPG and give testimony of lived experience and what they would like the group to take the Scottish Government on board and consider. We would like to investigate the subjects of tourism, to investigate Scotland being a holiday destination of choice for families with a disability. We would like to focus on building design and the use of our public buildings and spaces in Scotland. We would propose to work with the Royal Incorporation of Architects Scotland to discuss the feasibility of changing designs of what changing places toilets should be and how those toilets can be placed in public buildings. Based on research, we would propose to include changing places toilets standard for buildings across Scotland. We would work collaboratively with Government departments and ministers in that regard. I would appreciate if the committee would consider our application. Thank you very much, Paul. Do any committee members have any questions? There is a contention at the moment that local authorities are having to close many of their public toilets for cost challenges, and particularly I have faced that significantly in the city of Edinburgh. Is that something that would be covered under the remit as well? Through the convener, I thank Ms Webber for that question. I think that that is vitally important. I think that the CPG wants to look at the availability of facilities, because very often we know that families particularly who have children have a disability struggle to access toilets in city centres, in places where they might go for a day out. Spontaneity is not possible for many families because they can have access to the facilities. So it is certainly something that we want to look at with local authorities and others about where the provision exists currently and where there are gaps that could be filled. Thank you. Having read the papers, I did a bit of homework on what change in police facilities will wear a new school bride in my constituency. It was quite alarming to see that there is only one. There is a website for change in police. I wonder if that is something that, as the cross-party group, you will continue to use and promote as well. I find it quite alarming for numerous reasons. I had somebody close to me who had colitis. I needed to ensure that they had proper change in facilities as well. I was not standing there thinking of people who like breastfeeding and whatnot. It was quite undignified from years ago. As for the app, it would be interesting to look at it at a local authority level to see how we can promote that better. Obviously, it is notwithstanding the fact that Sue mentioned the challenges that we have at a local authority budget level. I think that that is vitally important. We have previously had engagement with the UN's guide to provide a lot of information about accessible facilities, including changing places and toilets. We are keen to engage further on that, because I think that it is about acknowledging that we have made some progress. There are facilities available. The Government has agreed to invest more in our public buildings, but it is often for families that it is ensuring that they know what is available and where they can access those facilities. I think that the point is absolutely well made about town centres. People will be able to go back to the point that I made to Ms Webber, because they know that they can plan a day out, whether they want to go to the centre of these co-brides to go shopping or something like that. They have that level of surety that there is going to be a facility for them. The other area that we have looked at and we are hoping to look at is mapping things like service stations, where, if people want to go on holiday and they maybe want to drive to do the North Coast 500 or something, those places that we have on our doorstep in Scotland, that they are able to do that. Holidays are crucial, particularly for families with young children who have life-limiting conditions and disabilities. Certainly, I think that investment in understanding what the map of Scotland looks like currently, being able to get that information out to people and being able to add to that map is crucial. It is certainly something that all the partners who are involved in the CPG would want to take forward. In terms of the criteria to meet a changing places toilet, is it quite robust and difficult? How easy is it to go on and be recognised as a changing places toilet? I think that the problem for many years has been that people perhaps have disabled facilities or have a certain level of facilities that they would view to be a changing places toilet. However, there are very clear set of standards around what a changing places toilet is, which obviously involves space requirements, shrouding facilities, ensuring that you have the size to move around. That is all laid out, and I can provide committee with that information if that would be helpful. Essentially, it is quite a robust set of standards. Part of the challenge is that it can be very cost prohibitive often for organisations, particularly if you were a community organisation that runs a community facility through asset transfer or something like that. To put it in can be quite expensive, so that is why we want to work collaboratively with the Government to try and find a fund that would allow community facilities particularly to do that. I would now like to invite Bob, who is joining us remotely today. Over to you, Bob. Thanks, convener, and I thank Paul O'Kane for bringing this across-parts groups to the committee this morning. I was following the conversation really close to the paper work, and it is quite right to talk about strains in the public parts how we can direct cash most effectively to enhance a network of essential provision, and I think that you make that point very well, and you made the point of tourism also. I am just wondering in terms of corporate Scotland, if you like, in terms of the duties and obligations that some of our private companies—some who are still doing okay in the current climate—may have in terms of working with them in partnership to get them to maybe commit to putting in the kind of provision that changing place toilets would have with share facilities and the like, and to make them publicly available and on that national network. Will there be a relationship, if you like, with the private sector or corporate Scotland in relation to that as well? Thank you. I think that that is ador us for the question. I think it is a very important question, and it is certainly something that the CPG would be keen to engage in. I think that it is Sainsbury's, who are currently doing work on a network of changing places toilets in store. That is certainly something that is of interest to us. Other larger supermarkets are places that are very often well located in terms of where people go and where they might be able to use facilities. I think that we also have to work with in-town and out-of-town shopping centres and other commercial organisations to ensure that they are playing their part, because we know very often that they have the resource to be able to put those facilities in and to ensure that they are serving their customers better. I think that we would want to explore with them, but also with Government, if there is anything further that can be done to persuade, cajole and perhaps compel the corporate world to do that. Thank you, Bob. Just for the record, I noticed that Angela Dully, who is indeed a well-known campaigner—very well-known campaigner in this field—has offered to do the secretarial support for the group. Thank you for coming along today, Paul. We will make a decision on this in the next session, and the clerks will let you know in due course. Thank you, Givina, and thank you to colleagues on committee. The next group that we are going to look at is a proposed CPG on Bangladesh, and I would like to welcome Foisal Choudhury MSP, who is the proposed convener of the proposed group, who is joining us online today. Good morning, Foisal. Would you like to make an opening statement about the proposed CPG? Good morning, convener. Can I thank you very much, convener? I thank committee members for their time this morning, and I am sorry that I did not realise that I could have attended in person. I thought that everything was getting done through the region. The purpose of the cross-party group on Bangladesh is to promote and enhance understanding between Scotland and Bangladesh at a cultural, social, academic, political and economic level. It is our intention to develop contact with the Bangladesh Parliament and other institutions, including the Bangladesh Consulate in Edinburgh and the Embassy in London, to progress such dialogues. It will also be advancing the mutual interests of Scotland and Bangladesh and representing the interests of citizen organisations with the Bangladesh background in Scotland and acting as a forum for the community. From the Bangladesh community, there is keen interest to know about the procedure of the Scottish Parliament, be part of the Scottish democracy and learn what could be used for future elections in Bangladesh. I will be doing this along with our friends in Westminster with all the party group on Bangladesh in working on research and developing a work plan for the growing Bangladesh community in Scotland. The CPG would be a new group focused on Bangladesh and would not overlap any current CPGs. The areas of topics that were discussed at our initial meeting and will form our work plan will include investment, trade, tourism, travel, environment and education. We want to build on the momentum that we have from COP26, where we made history by having the Prime Minister in Parliament. We hear the challenges that the country faces in the threat of climate change. COP26 has shown that we can only deliver genuine changes if we are united together. I know that the UK, Scotland and Bangladesh will work shoulder to shoulder to tackle climate changes. Thank you, convener, and thank you for listening to me. Thank you very much for your voice and it was a great pleasure to welcome the Prime Minister here during the COP26. Do any committee members have any questions? No? Could I just ask? You mentioned the connections with the APPG at Westminster, but this CPG will be distinct and separate from that, won't it, concentrating on the Bangladeshi communities here in Scotland? Rather than just being a subset of the APPG, it will be a self-standing CPG operating on its own? Yes, of course. No, it's just to share their ideas, how they do it over there, just to gain information, but ours is mainly based on Scotland and the community from Scotland. Thank you. I must say that the list of organisations that the proposed CPG has reached out to and want to be involved is testament to the importance of the Bangladeshi community here in Scotland and the widespread understanding among civic Scotland of that understanding. If there are no further questions, I thank you for attending today. The decision on the CPG will be made at the next agenda item and the clerks will be in touch after the meeting, but thank you for attending today, Foisal. Thank you very much, convener, and thank you very much, Tim. I hope to see you soon. I would now like to invite the next proposed CPG, which is on migration, and I would like to welcome Paul Sweeney MSP, who is the proposed convener of this new group to the meeting. Good morning, Paul. I give you an opportunity to take your seat. Would you like to make an opening statement about the intentions of this CPG? Thank you very much, convener, for inviting me to address the committee this morning. The proposed cross-party group on migration is quite a wide-ranging forum for stakeholders, policy makers and those with lived experience to discuss any matters arising in relation to migrants, refugees or those seeking asylum in Scotland. Whilst immigration policy is a reserved matter to the House of Commons, the cross-party group will engage, consider and raise awareness of ways in which we can make an impact on issues regarding immigration and migration, asylum and refugees in Scotland because there are a number of important interfaces with the Scottish Parliament's competences as well as with local government colleagues. Therefore, having an integrated approach is vital to improve quality of life for people affected by a current policy. That is definitely something that is well established as a public interest. There is not currently a CPG focusing on this area in the Holyrood despite thousands of people in Scotland being impacted by those issues. The creation of the cross-party group would be particularly beneficial, given recent significant and relevant events taking place such as the passage of the nationality and borders bill by the UK Parliament and the on-going humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Do any of the committee members have any questions for Paul about the proposed CPG? I would like to ask Mr Sweeney what are the key measures of success. The key measures of success are to effectively expedite policy ideas that key stakeholder groups, particularly in Glasgow, have been advocating. The vast majority of almost all asylum seekers in Scotland are resident in the Glasgow City Council area because it is the only city or the only council area in Scotland that participates in the dispersal programme. However, there are refugee communities and resettlement programmes for the refugee programme that are dispersed around Scotland. There are a number of concerns that have been raised by key stakeholder groups, particularly the Maryhill integration network, who have been especially instrumental in helping to establish the cross-party group and issues around exclusion from housing issues, transport issues and social exclusion. Obviously, we had the tragedy with the parking disaster in Glasgow last summer of 2020. It is important to bring together the forum to allow us to channel frustrations and issues where, potentially, the Scottish Government can help to ameliorate some of the concerns that people are experiencing on the ground. It is largely in a humanitarian sense that it does not necessarily interfere with immigration policy or with no recourse to public funds, which is a potential condition on social security support. On those measures, for example, one suggestion has been extending concession of travel to asylum seekers, which would be within the gift of the Scottish Government. Ideas like that, for example, could be promoted by the cross-party group. I ask about any overlap with the Petitions Committee. Is the intention that the CPG identifies issues and then we will move towards petitions? It has not been explicitly discussed thus far, but it is a helpful suggestion. I can envisage that as a measure. There is an effort to try and engage with stakeholders, perhaps directly with ministers, perhaps directly with NGOs and various other organisations, just to try and pull understanding and share common practice. There is quite a wide range of organisations supporting the CPG. I have listed them, but I can go through them. Mary Ellen's integration network, The Voices Network, Safe in Scotland, British Red Cross, UNESCO, Scottish DT&E visitors, particularly in relation to Dungavel, just right Scotland, Positive Action and Housing, Migration Policy Scotland and Refugees for Justice, Governing Community Project. There is quite a rich ecosystem out there, but often people are operating in silos and are kind of disjointed. Part of the function of the CPG will help to act as a sounding board so that we can share experiences rally around common themes such as housing, transport, income, deprivation poverty, etc., and hopefully pull together actions that we can share objectives on, and then push them into the Government to ask if we can get improvements or measures to address them. Yes, thank you, convener, and thank you to Paul Speedy for taking this cross-party group to the committee this morning. I should, of course, declare an interest. It was a pleasure to go on to the first meeting of the proposed cross-party group with Paul and others, and should that group be successful and been established, I would be the deputy convener of that cross-party group, so I should declare that interest. If I take from that convener that I may have a good will towards the committee agreeing to recognise that cross-party group, I would just make one observation, and that is that immigration is absolutely a reserve matter, but caring for those who have chosen to make their life in Scotland, whether they are in flay violence or persecution, if another reason they have come to our shores, of course, is not a reserve matter. It is the core business of representing our constituents, irrespective of where they came from or how long they have been in Scotland, and I think that this cross-party group will go some way to making sure that our Parliament can fulfil that important role. Thank you for that, Bob, in the indication of your interest in this matter. Although not a formal requirement under any of the rules, I am sure that you will extend the usual practice of stepping out in respect of the discussion with regard to this CPG, but we very much note your interest, and I saw both Paul and your eyes worrying at the idea of a petition. Collette, I think that you have a question. Thanks Paul, I very much welcome this CPG. Just recently there has been several issues arising within East Kilbride in terms of accommodation and even their status in terms of whether they are asylum seekers or refugees. It was interesting to find that out, but what I found alarming, and I am just wondering if it is something that will come up in terms of within the CPG, is that despite the fact that they have got hotel accommodation, which is very basic, they only get £8 per week. The income allowance that is provided to those who are in the asylum process is very meager indeed. So, if you are in bed and breakfast accommodation, you are only getting £1 a day. If you are in a flat accommodation, it is slightly more than that. It is about £7 a day. You can imagine even on that basis that it is very well below even baseline social security that a citizen would be entitled to. There are acute poverty and deprivation issues. The reason for the BNB is because the housing provider, which is a contract between the Home Office and a private sector operator called Mears Group, is obliged to provide accommodation for those in the asylum system. Because of the pressures on the system, they are not able to acquire enough housing units from RSLs and registered social landlords and private providers to put everyone in flats. They are now putting people into hotels to backfill for the demand, but the problem is that there are significant welfare problems. As I mentioned, the park in disaster emanated from people who were suffering acute mental health problems, trauma, being corralled into these kind of hotels. The catering, for example, was not culturally appropriate, so they were serving food that they could not digest, getting a cooked breakfast if you are from sub-Saharan Africa is not something that you can eat. Having an opportunity to provide feedback from stakeholders on the ground to say to the housing provider, for example, that is a really big problem and we really need a grip on that, could help to perhaps improve the situation at the margins. It is these little things that could potentially solve a lot of bigger problems that could potentially cause risk to life given the high-pressure situation that often people who have fled from severe disastrous situations can experience. For all those reasons, it is an important CPG to offer that kind of sounding board within the Parliament and to give more rapid access to ministers to the sources of raising things in the chamber, for example. It will be worthwhile in that sense. No, thank you. That is very welcome indeed. Thank you. I suppose that, just for the purpose of clarification, the CPG is described—well, it is going to be called the migration CPG. We have talked a lot about asylum and refugee status. Is the intention to look at the broader, in due course, look at the broader migratory pressures and challenges that people might face coming to Scotland? Thank you. That is a very important point. I think that there is a ability to find in a broader sense, because a lot of those have important interfaces. For example, access to student opportunities. There is a wider issue around EU migration and the future status of EU citizens in Scotland and the UK. There are broader demographic challenges in Scotland around an ageing population base and a narrowing tax base. Having a larger working-age population is an important function of a sustainable economy. Therefore, we need to have a greater infusion of working-age people. That is all going to be part of that discussion. In trying to frame the whole issue of migration in a less confrontational way, in a bit more of a sensible, rational fashion, that would be a broader idea about it. I think that the Secretary of State, Mary Ellen De Gray, is highly engaged with asylum seekers, colours the initial objectives of the CPG, but it can evolve. That is why we have left it looser. No, thank you for that clarification. Thank you for putting on the record from Mary Hill integration network, who has offered the Secretary of that. Can I thank you for attending today, Paul? The committee will consider whether to approve the application for recognition in the next agenda item, and the clerks will inform you in due course of the outcome. Can I thank you for that? That is great. Thank you, convener, and thanks to everyone for your consideration. Thank you. We will now be a short suspension of why we change witnesses. Can I welcome people back, and can I welcome Jeremy Balfour, who joins us today for the proposed CPG on older people, age and ageing, which I will quote very carefully? Can I invite Jeremy Balfour MSP, who is the proposed convener, to make a statement about the intentions of the group? Good morning, convener, and good morning, colleagues. Convener, this is a slightly different from the two previous ones, is that this cross-party group, in fact, was the very first cross-party group to be established for the famous Scottish Parliament back in 2000. Unfortunately, just due to administration and due to Sandra White's not standing, we just were a bit slow off the mark in getting our ducks lined up. However, we have now got the ducks lined up, and we are ready to go. I'm very keen to go.  Not you, no, not well. I'm not asking anyone to declare an interest on that, but, obviously, this is a big issue. We are an ageing population, and there are many challenges that older people face. Particularly over the last two years, we have seen the challenge of isolation, we have seen the challenge of getting back into employment, and we have seen the whole issue of care at home. Those are, without prejudging, our agenda and some of the issues that we will be looking at over the next coming months. We have already decided, if we are allowed to go ahead by the committee this morning, that the first one that we will be doing is trying to get as much information as we can on the experience of the past two years, so that, as a cross-party group, we can feed that in to the public inquiry that will be taking place. It will give insight across the whole of Scotland, both from organisations but also individuals. Beyond that, we will be looking at other issues. We will be able to continue and happy to take any questions from you or other colleagues. Thank you very much for that, Jeremy. Also for pointing out the pre-existence of this CPG and your explanation with regard to the administrative areas. I thank you for the steps that you have taken today in the reappliance for it to be re-recognised. Thank you for that. Do any of the committee have any questions? Sue, over to you. Just a quick one. Thank you, Jeremy Balfour. There are a lot of stakeholders on your list, and I'm just wondering how you foresee managing that. It does affect all the sorts of society. Believe it or not, that's a cow down list. The list was about double that size, but what we did before we proceeded was that we emailed everybody that had been part of the group in the previous Parliament, and about half of them had either moved on or were no longer involved. It is a very large group. It's an interesting one. We had a cross-party group on disability on Tuesday, and it was very interesting that almost everybody wanted to do it by Zoom, and I think that makes a massive difference. Rather than having to come here as it used to be, people can now log in if they're in Benes, Aberdeen or wherever. I think that that will probably be the model that we look at going forward, at least for the majority of our meetings, so that it does mean that people can take part. We do have an official smaller working group that meets to help set the agenda, which is then obviously then fed into the wider group to get their approval for it, because it is a large group. For me, it's positive because there's such a diversity. If you go from 50 to 100 plus, that's a lot of different interests. Some people are working, some people have retired, etc. It is a large group, but I have to say in the previous Parliament when we used to meet here, we had to take the largest committee room, because it used to be jam-packed. We do hope to have some face-to-face meetings as well. Thank you, convener. That's great. Thank you for that, Sue. Just as a point of clarification, I note that Christine Ryder, from outside the box, who is a facilitating charity, as my understanding, has offered secretarial support, but they're not listed as one of the non-MSP members of the group. Is that because they're just offering the secretarial support and the facilitation, rather than contributing to content of the CP? No, that's right. They're going to be offering the secretarial work, but obviously we will be there, but it's a slightly different relationship that they also are quite new to us, and so I think they are just wanting to put their feet into the water, and they may well actually become members quite quickly, but I think at the moment that's the relationship that we're looking at. That's excellent. Thank you for clarifying that. Thank you for coming along this morning. As I say, we'll take the decision and the next agenda item, and the clerks will be in touch in due course with that decision, but can I thank you for coming along this morning? Thank you. We can now move to agenda item two, when it is for the committee to consider whether to accord recognition to the proposed cross-party groups for Bangladesh, for changing places toilets, for migration, and for older people age and aging. I would now like the committee, and I'd like to invite the committee, if there are any questions or comments that you'd like to make before I formally put the proposal to us. Anyone? No? Excellent. Then our members agreed to accord recognition to the proposed cross-party groups on Bangladesh, changing places toilets, migration, and older people age and aging. We are in agreement with that, and at that point can I close the meeting and thank everyone for their attendance today.

No, we are. I'm going to share a video. Have you ever seen the video? I'm going to play it. Yes, yeah. Hi, I'm Prisinha Desmão, associate professor at Federal University of Ternambuco, USP, and in the last 10 years, I started and work with technology mediation learning. Sustainability and the 2030 agenda are primarily concerned with promoting lifelong learning. In the face of global actions to support the fight against Covid-19, many initiatives were created, products and process developed and underdevelopment. It is no different in Brazil as well as that there were few. In this life, classification of research projects according to the SBGs aims to present and show analysis of a set of research projects and other ends to groups of SBGs in topics of interest to global health to support the development of an open educational resource repository, Ridley. Since 2016, I started to study and practice open education and quickly became interested in open education researches. Through the SBG, I was able to develop projects that supported the development of USP digital educational ecosystem, things like tools and methodology that better integrated teachers and learners. This year, USP created a spread, Secretariat of Open and Digital Education programs, where I work as coordinator of open education research projects. A little about who and where we are. Brazil is an extensive country of great cultural diversity. UFPE is located in Recife, a coastal city in northeastern Brazil. We have more than 35,000 students in face to face courses and about 350,000 students in online and blended courses. How can we gather SBGs group by the main areas of interest in global health? This proposal deals with the idea to create an open educational resources repository in view of the great development of academic scientific materials and products to face COVID-19. The use of OER is a worldwide trend extremely reinforced by the context current experience. Positive impact related to the creation of an institutional OER, especially with information about COVID-19, is the visibility of the scientific and academic reference of great value nationally and internationally. There is no one size fits all when it comes to devising solutions to start an OER initiative. It is important to understand the needs, including as a way of encouraging open educational projects. Nowadays, this decoration involves maintaining, preserving and adding value to digital research data throughout its life cycle. Therefore, the active management of research data reduce threats to its long-term value and mitigate the risk of digital obsolescence. Meanwhile, objects safeguarded in trusted digital repostories can be shared among the broader research community. UFPE financed an accredited project to develop prevention and co-paction against COVID-19. All together, 94 projects were founded. But for this project, we only analyzed 77. Aware of the great development of academic scientific materials and projects to face COVID-19, we designed and implemented an open educational resource repository developed for academic improvement, READMEAD. Partnership is the key. Working on real-world problems usually requires the combination of different kinds of specialized and contents-dependent knowledge, as well as different ways of knowing. Here are our partners. Sabi, research group that supports students and professional trainings in different areas of work and has an important role, the production of digital educational resources and educational content. Spread, recent creating the institutional cell that serves that README community in support of the necessary regulations, monitoring the records of educational resources, and in use of authorization and assignment terms. Atena, institutional repository at UFPE, received the README community. ICDE, OER, Advogacy Committee, this partner was essential, helped us with UNESCO OER recommendations. Aware of the wealth of ongoing investigations, all methodological actions were planned with the integrated strategy of four phases. CET, we listed all finds and draw the preliminary view of the model to be developed. Understand, we have all the concepts and gather the scientific academic expectations collected in a survey. Refine, the first edition of README repository. README, the repository itself implemented. It was created as a community in the institutional repository at UFPE. The parameters that integrated the README open access policy is based on the Brazilian copyright law to guarantee that the educational resources of README can be disseminated and we use freely by anyone, whether in educational activities for self-learning or use in the daily practice of professionals in specific areas provided. Concerned about guaranteeing the requirements for a sustainable OER model, considering giving the restrictions imposed on education by COVID-19 and the resulting digital transformation. It is important and urgent to look at progress towards the SDG-4. It is necessary to consider new low-cost approaches to teaching and learning as a way to generate a more equitable and current impact. The first categorization covers projects associated with different things and integrate strategic actions catalogued in four main groups. Diagnosis and identification of the virus. We analyzed 22 projects. Health public policies. We analyzed 30 projects. Economics and society. We analyzed 11 projects and creative industry with 14 projects analyzed. The idea was to group according to the many areas of interest of global health, the sustainable developer goals based on their targets. The grouping was possible after a survey with all project coordinators involved. The results also helped to define the document types implemented in README. As all projects are related to health and education, SDGs 3 and 4 are present in all groups, as well as SDG 6, 9, 11, 12 and 17. Once they are concerned with health, innovation, community sustainability issues, responsible consumption and productions, mailing of garbage and partnerships involved in studies. In the second categorization, a set of actions and an integrated strategy were carried out to understand and catalog 7-7 projects and adhere then to the four SDG groups on topics of interest to global health. The first group was challenges and resilience for global health. We cataloged 18 projects. The second digital information and communication technology applied to health education. We cataloged 18 projects. The third entrepreneurship and technological innovation in health. We cataloged 10 projects. And the last one, health communication, develop and sustainability. We cataloged 31 projects. One difficult encounter was ensuring that each project could only be in one of the groups. After this achievement, the search model in the developed OER community was defined. Finally, during the process of including an educational resource in the repository, questions directed the best group to be used. This is the page of Athena institutional repository. We can see the README community, the only one ready to receive open educational resources. I would like to thank the University of Ternobuco for the financial support. Thank the README team and partners for the hard work developed in four months. I dedicated this project to all teachers and students who seek and involve knowledge. Congratulations. And for OER 2020, my gratitude for the opportunity and the pleasure of participating in such a rich and interesting conference. Glad to share this experience. Thank you. Thank you for watching this video. I guess it's better to resume our work. I'd like to make two key points that is very important for us during this project. And after that, the first one is about the survey. It brought us very important information about our teachers and about our researchers. About 80% of them know nothing about OER. So it's a very huge test to do with them to promote orientations and disseminate the concepts. And the second one is related to the resistance that that it be in the Brazilian at all in the education institution about OER and about innovation. For example, or we have very, very large difficulty to implement such activity learning methodology as example. So after that, I will be very glad to receive questions or considerations. I'm more than happy to answer and listening. And thank you again to the OER 2020. I guess we have time for questions. We do have time. If you have a question for Christine, please feel free to turn on your microphone and video if you choose. Or you can ask your question in the chat. Christine, one of the questions that I had was, have you worked with Nova Escola at all? I read a little about it, but never worked with it. Okay. If you have any hints, just tell. I do. So OpenEd Global has had several conversations with them and supporting their work. Right now, it looks like they are, they're offering free resources to everyone across Brazil, but they are trying to get to the point where they can offer open resources. So, but they are creating content for K-12 and training teachers on what that, how to use that in their online classrooms right now. But they're also starting to talk about OER and what that is. So, it could be a good match to build awareness of OER. Oh, yes. Great to know, Anna. Yes. Thank you, Christine. Of course. Any other questions for our presenter, Christine? Sure. I have a quick question. Christine, I'm also from Brazil. So, I guess my question would be, why is there so much resistance, especially like in the public education system, to something like OER? Oh, that's a good question also. We're trying to figure out just because if it is open practice is so good and is so spread everywhere, why not to use it? Why so difficult? In our institution, we related it to the age. Most of our teachers and professors are more than 50 years old. So, it's very difficult to them to change the habits about the classrooms, to do a new classroom. So, it's very difficult. It's kind of a generational resistance to on the side of the teachers. It's interesting. I think this is true about like even here at Stanford with some of the professors too, where they do things their way and that's kind of how it works. Most of our teachers, especially in the engineering course, don't use technology to present the contents. Yeah, that's crazy and it's too bad. I'm especially in Brazil because I'm aware, I did my master's at a public university in Brazil several years ago. It just makes no sense to me. Why the resistance? I think we could say that for many countries, right? Absolutely. No, but totally. It's one of the things that we're working with Dave. He has this incredible resource and you're not kind of passing on the cost to the students, right? That's huge. It's hugely important. I'm tired of like even when I teach Portuguese here at Stanford, it costs like 150 bucks to import the books for the students. So yeah, Stanford has a specific demographic and most of the students happen to be able to afford the books, you know? But there are also many students who are not, you know? And that is a problem. But anyway, it just seems like a such a good idea, you know, that like we are resources and it just seems like the perfect idea in so many ways. So yeah, not only the teachers, but the technicians, the students know nothing about OER in my subject. I just just implemented the concepts of OER and SDGs for all my students. That's amazing. Christine, I will I'll get in touch with you. We should continue the conversation via email. Let me just can you just type your email in the chat box real quick so I can I miss the slides. And as you're doing that, Christine, we're going to start to transition to our next presenter, which will be Monica. Thank you so much, Christine, for sharing. It's a pleasure. Thank you. Hi.

I'm just to be nice to somebody I want you to subscribe to a channel because you're interested in what they have and you're gonna watch their videos if you subscribe to a channel and You do not watch their videos and you never go back there again You actually hurt that channel because YouTube looks at the number of subscribers and how many of those subscribers are watching the videos And if you subscribe and don't watch the videos they look at that as fake subscribers And that actually hurts the channel. So don't do that to everybody. Oh Dean. What's going on? Hey everyone? Happy Friday. Good to see you man I love your picture. You got a big smile on your face. Why don't we smile, right? We got a smile We woke up every day really important that we wake up every day, right? If we don't wake up can't do anything Appealing products. Yes, but what kind of products who who is your market sit hard? I'm trying to get you niche down here so that you get some business You got to be niche down to something So I read an article the other day And you may not think it's true, but then I'm gonna break it down. The average person is now spending five hours a day on social media Five hours a day on social media. Did you hear that five hours? You know it used to be we sat in front of a television sat and watch TV shows now So you may be doing five hours on social media and then you may be going to watch TV on top of that I hope not. I hope not, but that's what a lot of people are doing. So I am not against social media I'm on social media right now, but I'm working. There's a difference.   I'm gonna check Twitter see what's going on And they spend 10-15 minutes on Twitter And then they go over to Instagram and check out some pictures and then they spend another 40 minutes there Then they go have lunch and at lunchtime. Maybe they log into YouTube and watch a few videos And then after they get back from lunch they go well before I'm gonna get back to work I might as well check Facebook again see what's going on and by the end of the day By the end of the day, they've spent five hours five hours on social media Can you imagine if if you took that same five hours and Actually did some work with it And you know you could spend the time on social media But what if you spent time making a video or two, you know yesterday? I recorded 12 videos for my channel now It took me two days to write out all the scripts and all the information and you know get pictures and All this stuff that I wanted to have in those videos, but I worked from 10 a.m. To about 4 30 in the afternoon, which really was pretty quick. I took out about 35 40 minutes for lunch The rest of the time I was working I got 12 videos out of that each one will be about 10 to 12 minutes So let's say it's 10 minutes And 12 what is that 120? That's two hours two hours of video that I'm gonna upload to YouTube now I have to edit them down, you know get rid of all the spots in there that are mix-ups and mess ups Not that I'm making it's mostly mess ups But then I have to send it to my video editor and then he'll put music and he'll put some graphics and he'll put B Roll in there and then he'll send it, you know to YouTube and he'll schedule it so that they go up over a period of time So I spent My entire day doing that my entire day doing that and when I was done I spent more time writing emails and getting things planned. I got up early today and just so you know and I had to Didn't get a chance for breakfast. I normally have breakfast But I had to schedule some emails to go out because I have another live tomorrow.  What are you doing? What is your schedule look like? Are you really keeping track of what's going on or is social media slowly eating away at your business? Because you know, I don't I don't mind social media I use it every day, but I don't scroll through it very much at all. I just don't now this morning I did scroll through Facebook But I was doing it more to find a connection And I'm in I'm in this group called collaborative And it's a group of people that go on the internet marketers cruise and they haven't been able to do it obviously because of the illness however The illness Prevented them from getting together. So what they did is they started this Facebook group And I found a woman in there who did a gratitude book very interesting. She lived in Georgia Talked to her for a little bit friended her offered to help her out And you know, that was my social media spending time, but it wasn't just scrolling through looking at people's lives I don't want to look at your life. Okay, no offense I want to build my business. That's what I want to do. I want to I want to build my audience I want to help people out I found the more people I help the more business I get now This is not a direct relationship guys. A lot of people say well, I helped that guy and he didn't do anything back for me I helped that woman the other day and she didn't do anything back for me That's not how it works. That's not how it works You put help out into the world and something will come back to you so I've been doing these lives And trying to help people in this morning. I woke up and one of my Chinese distributors who could not import some of our products in China because of the illness You know contacted me and they want to spend $35,000 in one order $35,000 in one order and I attributed to helping you guys I really do. I think that me putting forth that good energy got me that sale this morning. That's how I look at it Um a little bit different way of looking at things But I don't expect a one for one and you shouldn't expect a one for one You should just help people out there. You should just do stuff to help people You should do a video. You should do a blog post. You should add some content that's going to improve somebody's life Uh, let's see how long does it take to upload your videos to youtube? You know, it doesn't take that long And I don't do it to be honest with you anymore I have a video editor that does it But you know, I would say a 10 minute video could take me three or four minutes something like that It's not bad. Now. I will tell you at our home Um, I have a really high speed internet connection We pay a lot of extra money for that internet connection. So it works pretty fast I can tell you five years ago. We try to upload a video and it could take hours I mean literally hours to upload a video. It doesn't take that kind of time now Let's see youtube. Let me read through some of this All dean says my man all dean my favorite man in jamaica YouTube is the only social media that I really use a lot I'm on it for at least two hours every day, but I'm on it trying to learn. That's a good reason Now that's you know, that's a good reason to be using youtube and I totally agree with that I go on it to learn. I don't watch television anymore.  I do watch my tv But I usually go to youtube and I watch some videos on how to cook like Cook stuff or how to make stuff and you know, I have a couple that are just entertaining to me I like game drops, you know, he does videos on fast food joints and he sits in his car And just eats fast food and talks about it. So I do watch that look at that Uh, we kill this spam call. I got a spam call. Go figure, right? Let's see. Many of the cruise ship are being scrapped Really, I didn't know that James. Tell me about that. I have a lot of cruise ship stock I bought into that because I figured they're still going to be around I bought cruise ship stock and I bought airline stock I think those are ones that in the airline stocks have really gone up a lot Many cruise ships would be uh Cameron sorry lake mobile was charging man I was wondering where you were. I was just wondering I said where the heck is Cameron? I don't want to say anything But where's camp? I'm just glad you're here. That's what's important My gaming industries earn in the millions they do and I don't do anything in gaming I mean even when my kids were little and I was raised and like my son did some gaming stuff But um, I gotta tell you I never really got into it He would try to get me to play games with him and I just wasn't into gaming I feel lucky because I know it eats up a tremendous amount of time And so that's my whole thing now, you know as you get older and James you're in the bucket with me But as you get older you start to look at well, how am I going to spend my time because it's limited Now here's the truth about that as you get older you start to realize it But the thing is maybe your time's more limited than mine.  You know when I spend time with my wife, I love her very much and I look at that It's really quality time just an opportunity to talk to her and spend time with her She's a really awesome person But I got really lucky in that respect the second time around the first time and I didn't feel that way But the second time around I'm like, yeah, man, this is cool I get to spend time with somebody who's intelligent who makes sense who has thoughts You know, and that's really cool for me to be able to do that. I really enjoy that Now why we get money when we get views on youtube? You talk about how do you get money when you get views on youtube? If that's you know, if that's what you're asking Um, if so put that in there. I'm not quite sure and I will tell you how that works guys If some of you guys are interested in that Um, and I'm making a decent amount of money now on youtube. Uh, am I getting rich? No Does it pay all my bills? No, uh, and it's taken a long time to get here. I mean I have Oh gosh over 700 videos on youtube So if you're thinking well, I'm gonna do a youtube channel. I'm gonna do 10 videos And I'm gonna get rich. No, you're not. No, you're not now Let's talk about what he's talking about making money on youtube if you're talking about running ads Because there's a lot of other ways to make money on youtube. I make a lot more money in my affiliate links Uh in my courses uh in branding all those things that I do on ads But let me let me tell you how the ad thing works. So, you know, uh, you definitely married up ha ha things a lot fall Thanks a lot. You know, I feel like I did she's an awesome person. Um But um, the way it works if you do want to get monetized and monetized means they're going to run ads on your videos that you put on youtube and then they're going to pay you money for that now YouTube changed a few months back. It used to be You had to qualify to be monetized to have ads run on your video Now you don't have to qualify. They're going to put ads on your video anyhow The only difference is they're not going to pay you They're not going to pay you until you get monetized and the way you get monetized Is that what you're going to do is you're going to get 1 000 subscribers Not an easy task not an easy task if you've ever started a channel and you need 4 000 hours of watch time in the past 12 months Now I say it's not easy, but it's very simple to do It's very simple to do put out really good content Do it on a consistent basis Okay, and you'll get a thousand subscribers Then you'll get 4 000 hours of watch time Now the next question is how long will it take you? Uh, it can go a lot faster if you put out a lot more content Um, originally I would put out, you know, two three videos every now and then and think, oh I'm gonna build my channel and it never really did anything. I never really got a thousand subscribers I mean nothing really ever happened You know, and I did random videos and they weren't that good and you know I didn't put the effort into I should have and then about a year ago I said, well, I'm gonna put effort into it and I'm gonna publish five videos a week Five videos a week is what I published and I did that for going on a year And I got monetized within a few months because it works. Okay. This works. I'm giving you the big secret right now It works Um, but if you're only putting out one video a week unless it's just an incredible video You're not going to do well So you've got to put out, you know, a lot of videos and the second thing is you have to put out videos of the correct length YouTube likes videos that are over eight minutes. Now. Why does youtube care about how long your video is? For a couple reasons the first one is they can put more ads on your video. There's more real estate there There's more space. They can put maybe four ads on your video and they can make more money So obviously they're going to favor a video that they can put more ads on because youtube makes more money So when you're making videos and I'm a little off track here from social media, but maybe I'm not Um, so when you're making videos, you have to consider this you have to say to yourself Okay, I've got to do what the algorithm wants. I need an eight minute video or longer All of mine are generally and sometimes they're a little bit less sometimes more but most of them are 12 Or excuse me 10 to 12 minutes That's what I shoot for when I'm shooting a video I have next to me a timer, which is my phone because you use your phone for everything, right? And on that timer I look at it and I shoot for about 14 or 15 minutes Of video that I'm talking because I know a lot of it's going to get cut out because I'm going to make mistakes And um and on I have to say things twice I'm going to have space in there and if I'm if I'm scrolling through trying to think I'll turn the timer off So it doesn't record me thinking but I need to have about 14 15 minutes on that timer When I end to have that 10 to 12 minute video Let me look in here at some of these comments Let us see here a major niche on youtube is children's animated stories channels have millions of subscribers This is true James, but did you know you cannot monetize a channel that targets children? So you could get millions of views and you're going to make zero Zero the only way you're going to make any money If you're targeting kids Because this is a new law from about a year ago Is if you have some affiliate links below and they click on it and they go to that stuff But as far as you know ads running on there ain't going to happen. You're not going to get paid You're not going to get monetized. You can't monetize any channel now That targets kids period and a lot of people made a lot of money before they had they like these unboxing channels with toys and all that That's gone. It's gone. So it's it doesn't matter at this point Sir shop sir is shopping pie Any websites shopping pie i'm not quite sure what shopping pie is i'm going to try to look this up And see if I can figure out What you're talking about Shopping pie What is shopping pie Oh, let's see here. All I got is uh a pies.  I don't know what shopping pie is Um, I don't know don't know what that is Uh, and I want to switch screens here a little bit and you guys it won't affect you But it affects me because if I if I'm on my obs screen, I see everything real time I mean if I'm all my youtube screen it lags by about 15 seconds. So it's so weird because I got this lag and I can't I can't connect can't jive with it. Um, let's see. What else we got in here Do you plan on doing affiliate products on your cooking channel like bobby flage city?  I mean, I just don't like them and if I don't like them I'm not going to do I'm not going to tell you guys to go buy some software that I haven't even used myself I mean that's wrong, but I mean they'll pay me. I'm going to pay me like $1,000 1500 bucks for you on five minute talk, which is pretty good guys pretty good But understand that that five or ten minute talk that I'm going to do is probably going to take me two hours to do So then when you look at that thousand bucks two hours, and I know a lot of you say, oh my gosh 500 bucks an hour Once you get into this and you start making money And you've made these maybe well, I told you that this morning. I got that sale It's $35,000 for one sale. I got that while I was sleeping A $35,000 sale now. I know to some people that's not huge But to me probably got with the $35,000 sale I'm happy You know, I'm happy because everything else I make today is kind of like gravy And understand I've got a lot of different things out there. So I'll sell survival food today We'll have people maybe buy courses from me. I've got my continuity A bunch of people will pay me 27 bucks today. So when you add all that stuff together It's it's a decent income. So when somebody tells me they're going to pay me a thousand bucks And I've got to say how great their product is I don't know now when the cooking channel Paul, I think it could be different And I think it could be different because I like a lot of cooking gadgets and things And if I like an item in the kitchen that's useful Yeah, I think I would probably do that But I don't want to make it really heavy sponsored stuff because I think people Come to youtube so that they can watch something and not be bombarded with ads So I don't want to bombard people with ads. I really don't I see a lot of the youtubers that I watch are really really pushing certain companies I know raycon ear buds A lot of the youtubers I watch are talking about raycon and I guess raycon can really advertise on any channel But the youtubers will say hey look it doesn't fall out of my ear And they really charge good and matter of fact, we watched them so much My wife and I she bought some raycons and they are actually pretty good Wait, I shouldn't say that because they're not paying me But you could do that but I think a lot of cooking stuff would lend itself to products Whereas, you know my me telling you guys how to make money online That's a tough one. It's a tough one because I would almost be setting up my competitors If somebody else had a really good product and how to make money online. Well, that's what I do Why would I send them, you know to their product instead of send them to one of my courses would make sense for me So let me see what other oh man, you got a lot of comments in here guys. Thank you so much Really, thank you so much for these comments. You have no idea how much this means to me Paul says have you noticed significant increase in audience and views since doing these lives? um Yeah, I mean some If you look at how hard I work on this and I know you guys are like, oh, you didn't work at all You're just sitting there. You know, I had to prepare for this. I had to think about this stuff I have to you know do thumbnails for all this stuff. I do all the thumbnails I had to schedule all this stuff. They're not going to show up and actually do the live So there is work, but I do five videos that get posted a week that aren't lives Plus I've been doing six lives a week So that is 11 videos a week. Uh, and I have noticed an uptick. Yeah I have noticed an uptick to answer you Uh, and what I notice really is I don't necessarily have a whole lot of people on the actual live But afterwards I get a ton of views on them. I guess people and you know I did it you can't show up at nine o'clock every day like I do I mean, I make my own schedule every day and that's pretty cool. I feel very very thankful for that You know as a kid, you know, I didn't even get good meals I was always fed as a kid, but I mean we ate a lot of navy beans Navy beans was a big thing in our house or spaghetti or something like that because it was cheap My dad was the military. He was an enlisted guy. He wasn't an officer Uh, and just wasn't a lot of money. Um, so every day, you know, when I go out to a restaurant now I'm thrilled every time I'm like, well, it's so cool. I get to go to a restaurant People are going to serve me fancy food. It's like, I'm so thankful to the waiter and the chef of the restaurant Like, oh my god, this is so cool. Um, so I'm glad I have the background of not having a lot because I have the ability to appreciate stuff I think If I was brought up in a household where there was a lot of money and I always Was exposed to going skiing on the weekends and all that kind of stuff, you know, if I got to go skiing Um, then it wouldn't mean much because you know, everybody did it Everybody had it but now as an adult, if I get to go skiing or go on a cruise, I'm like, oh my god, this is this is amazing Because I didn't get it before so I think I think it's it's really kind of good for you to grow up a little bit poor I mean, we weren't like dirt poor, but we weren't rich. That's for sure. We didn't have a whole lot Uh, I see plenty of people with lots of views, but no engagement Um, how do you think that tracks with yours in a lot of engagement? Um, I think I care about everybody I really do I mean like if you post a comment on one of my videos paul and you know this because you're you're awesome about posting comments Um, I respond to you if you've got a question about something and I actually don't know the answer I'll actually go research it I'll go to websites and I'll look around the internet and find stuff and I just help people I mean really that's all I do The trick to getting engagement is to really care about the people number one You can't fake like you care and you can't fake it You either do or you don't and I really do and I do because it's like It gets me really excited If somebody does stuff that I tell them to do and they make money and they come back and tell me I'm like, oh man. I'm so excited for you because it's just if you can help somebody out I mean gosh guys. What better thing is that? I mean, it's amazing uh Cameron from pakistan pakistan bitcoin value is 500 000 I guess Litecoin is 30 000 I don't like it because it's just a paper. I don't it's not even paper.  I mean, I have stocks. I have quite a few stocks But man, I don't I don't understand bitcoin If I can't get it in my brain how it works and people try to explain to me and I just kind of gloss over I'm like does it sounds fake to me and it probably isn't and I'm probably just old timer who doesn't understand But I ain't messing with it. Do you think advertising spots takes people away from your business? So it might not be worth it There's only a few uh whose products I would vouch for. Yeah, that's the problem. I have it's like There's just so many and you know, I mean you could get a lot of sponsorships I mean if you want to make money uh online doing sponsorships you could make you could make millions I mean you really literally can't if you've got an audience you can make millions of dollars I just I don't know. I don't I don't want to I want to talk about what I want to talk about I don't want to talk about other people's stuff, but that may change when I'm doing a cooking channel If I find some neat gadgets, you know, I may change that uh, paul loving jessica's channel with pet stuff Well, thank you so much. Yeah, she's working really hard on that. She's doing a lot of lives now She's got one She's got a uh, gosh, what's it called a masterclass that's going to be this sunday at three o'clock So guys search the um Furry family coach. Uh, she's on facebook furry family coach jessica l fisher. Let me put that in there Search jessica l fisher the furry family coach on facebook and youtube and sign up for her masterclass this sunday period Okay, so I put I put that in the um chat section there, but that's going to be a really cool masterclass guys I would highly recommend if you have a dog and you have any issues with training Attend that masterclass and it's free. It doesn't cost you anything Definitely go to that go to that go to that man. I I'm not saying it because it's my wife She's really good at what she does. I've I've gone into households where dogs been barking for 14 years at the front door And in two hours, she gets that dog to stop barking and know she doesn't put a muzzle on the dog Um, she's really good at what she does. So if you have a dog or you're interested in dogs Go to the masterclass if you don't Don't go to the masterclass. That's what I would tell you Oh, that's furry family coach furry Okay, but not fairy the furry family coach furry furry. All right, so yeah, uh, please explain how you create your thumbnails well Well, james.  You have to have a great video. You have to have big content all that stuff That's a given but here's the truth. You could have an incredible you could have the best video on youtube But if you don't have a good thumbnail, nobody will ever see it because people click on Thumbnails they don't click on videos. They do they click on thumbnails. Um So generally the things that work with a thumbnail is fewer words than more So, you know, you do a whole lot better off to have two three four words Then you would 10 to 15 don't put a lot of words on your thumbnail Don't do it and there's a couple reasons for it people to scan them real quick And they're not going to read a whole lot of words But additionally most people are on their phone and they're scrolling through and they can't see them You can't see the words. So you only want two three words max four max The other thing that works really well on thumbnails is bright colors yellow red Bright blues They work really well. And if you think about all your fast food restaurants Taco Bell Burger King McDonald's they all have yellows and reds in them. Okay, that works. Okay, so that stuff works The other thing that works on thumbnails Is a face of somebody people are drawn to people's eyes and their face Now some people will have somebody standing and it's like from their waist up and it's right in the background That doesn't work well If you look at mr. Beast thumbnails and he's one of the top youtubers in the world His face is like all the way up into that thumbnail like it's blocking everything Like the top of the thumbnails here and the bottoms here and his face is like right here So that's the other thing is have a face in your thumbnail If you use all of these components It will really really help your youtube. So that's what I would tell you one thumbnails Uh, let's see What else we got in here? I'm blown away by companies that have six or seven million followers But nobody on the company in doing engagement. I know right? I mean, it's like talk to the people talk to your folks Um, but you know what that that's six to seven million could be bots really a lot of those companies hire people To put subscribers on there. So they have a big channel, but they don't really get that many views Um, go on there. So a lot of times you'll notice that they have six or seven million Subscribers, but they get like 20 views on their videos something's wrong with that You know, if I get 20 views, I get it, you know, I got 4,500 subscribers right now, but it's okay. It's still paying the bills um By the way, try to sign up for your latest sales webinar by you, but couldn't get in I'm not sure what you mean, but you couldn't get in that's kind of weird. Um, that's really odd If it's um, the one had to start a business in 48 hours, I can get you that link if you send me a p.m I can get you the link to that, um, paul Love how your thumbnails stand out way cool. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate that Um, but you know, I gotta I gotta tribute billy to that billy is my social media guy Hi billy, he'll probably be looking at this video And he does my thumbnails now I do the thumbnail for the weekly ones But he gives me a template and all I really do is change the date on it If you notice, they all look the same for the weekly lives. All I do is change the date You gotta get a process going Thanks for the thumbnail suggestions. Sure james. Yeah I mean those things are the main things that work on a thumbnail if you do that the colors the face Very few words. You don't have to put any words if you don't want very few words If you've got anything in the background, it has to contribute to the thumbnail So let's say I've got a castle in the background and I'm talking about haunted castles That's going to contribute to it. But if I've got just a crowd of people behind me And I don't say anything about crowds of people. It's useless. You should have a plain background And you should just have a design or a color back there Don't put anything behind you that doesn't contribute to the message Super important that you do that. Okay Um, and if you do put something behind you that contributes to the message Let's say it's a castle and I'm talking about haunted castles Make sure it's super clear if you get it zoomed up as close as you possibly can Don't have it way way in the distance with a bunch of woods on each side and forest and all that Get it close to you. That makes a really big difference too. And I learned this from watching some of mr. D stuff Um So those are the things you should do so guys. I hope the session has been a little bit helpful with you today It's about how social media kills your business because we waste time on it Um, but here's what I would tell you we'll send p.m. In 48 hours. Can you also send swipe file? You talked about a couple days ago put what swipe file that was paul I'll do them both at the same time. I think I remember you send me a message I've just been so darn busy and I try to do all my stuff myself Which is probably a mistake But put which swipe file you talk about I'll get that to you and I'll also get you the link to the training But anyhow the thing about social media here's what I want to end with today I want to end with social media is great for your business if you spend more time creating than you do consuming You want to spend more time creating than you do consuming So if you're going to spend Five hours a day on social media Make sure four and a half of it is you creating stuff for social media Think about how that would make a huge difference in your day If you spent four and a half hours creating stuff for social media That would that would be pretty amazing wouldn't it? That's what you need to do That's what I'm going to recommend you do and when you come to these sessions I want you to post in here. Matter of fact do it now Post and hear what you've contributed to social media in this past week put in there And if I don't see a lot of comments, you know what I know I know that you've consumed more than you've created. I could post in there what I've done You know, I did 12 videos yesterday alone I did this video today and I did a video every single week during the day live every single day And I got another one coming tomorrow. Okay, and I'm not bragging. I'm just saying I'm working my butt off It's really really hard to outwork me. You can be smarter than me You could be more talented than me. You could be better looking. You could be younger. You could be stronger But you can't outwork me. I'm telling you you can't outwork me That's the one I got you on right there. That's a tough one If you're out working me man, you're putting some time and you're putting some hours in I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Have a great weekend game. Thank you so much paul And guys if you have anything that you've done in social media post at that chat section And even if you're watching this after the live guys put the comments in the comment section right below the video Put what you've done what you've created Oh, let's see here that guy Subscribe bring bell share.

Come see me tomorrow. Be here saturday. I'm gone on sunday. You won't see me sunday


So, we as Indians, we are taking in everything from vests, whatever vests promotes, right from lifestyle to clothing. Can you speak more about this? You stand up, don't you? Stand this way. Are you a shoe salesman? What is that? Is that a rebook? Huh? You are not a footwear salesperson. And why are you wearing this? I am asking you. Why are you wearing that? Why are you wearing this shoe company name? Are you a salesperson of this company? No. Then why? Because you saw Usain Bolt or Magic Johnson wearing something. You need to understand, for him to wear the t-shirt, he is being paid millions of dollars. Nobody is paying you anything. Why are you advertising for the shoe? At least wear a e-shirt, e-shirt. We are known to get everything free. At least you advertise for e-shirt free. Why are you advertising for a shoe company free? They didn't even give you a pair of shoes. I am giving my time and life to you. Say this boy, you stand up. Say he is yourself. Yeah. You are from which country? Say he is from United States. Look at his uniform, turn around and show it to him. At least he is doing the right advertisement. What are you doing? I think you should get both of them on the video. Stand up, stand up. What India is doing, what America is doing? Just see. Turn around, turn around. So, what is the next step for you? Are you going to hang two shoes around your neck and walk around? No, what is the next step? Right now it's just written, and maybe then you will wear the product and walk around. So when it comes to clothing, one thing is to use something which comes from the land because organic substances have their own influence on your energy system. How your aura develops, it's important that the substance that you wear is organic. Not some nylon or plastic or something. And another thing is, if you already do not know this, India has over 120 distinct weaves. If you travel from district to district, from one county to another, in every county they have a distinct weave, unique weave, that that kind of weave is not done anywhere else. No other culture on the planet has developed so many types of textiles, but like somebody was telling me, if you take a photograph in any major city in India, below the knees, if you take a picture of people, over sixty percent of them are wearing only American workmen's clothes, blue denims, only single color. Of course some are faded, some are torn intentionally, some are punched holes, some have faded it forcefully. But basically workmen's clothes, nothing wrong. I'm not saying something is wrong, but there is something right, isn't it? Something not being wrong does not make it completely right. What is suitable for the weather, the conditions, the tropical conditions in which you exist? What kind of clothing is most suitable? That's what you should wear because how your body merges with the weather and the atmosphere around you is important. To bring this to a certain level of ease and comfort, it's very important. I want you to just experiment. Those of you who are wearing tight fitting nylon clothes on a daily basis, just wear some loose cotton clothes for three days and see how it feels, then you decide. But unless the shoe company is willing to pay you something, you writing it on your na… Are you getting a tattoo on your forehead? Reebok. I have always, you know, even people who sponsor our events. I say put it in one place, don't write it all over the place. Yes, they're paying money because they want some exposure, but put it in a aesthetically properly placed area, not just all over the place. I never allow any sponsor's name to be written behind me, at least. Money or no money.  I don't even know if you wear those footwear, but you wear that t-shirt. At least if you are some…  Silly, but it's okay. I'm not saying it has to be an Indian player. You like Lionel Messi, you say Messi and go, people will understand you are a mess. People will understand it. But it's okay, at least you appreciate somebody's skill and you want to write bolt and go, all right. Even if you cannot run like him, he's your… you're his fan, it's okay. But when did you become a fan of shoes? It's ridiculous. It doesn't make sense to me. If you're a fan of a runner or a player or a football player or a cricket player, it doesn't matter where they come from. If you're a fan, you like it. You wrote their name on your t-shirt, all right, why are you advertising for a shoe company and a cigarette company and this company and that company, I don't understand. At least if they give the t-shirt free. Okay, you're wearing a free t-shirt. All right, leave it. No, you're buying it. It doesn't make any sense to me, I don't know. Maybe I'm missing something. I think it's the laces. So, there is something about clothing. One thing is, the aesthetics of it for other people who watch, but the most important thing is that your body is at ease. No, no, I'm okay, I'm all right. That's what is not okay. That it's like this, this, this, that's what is not okay.  Close your eyes and feel it and see how it feels. Your body will come to ease. You think it's okay to be in different states of disease. You think it's okay to be agitated. You think it's okay to be itchy and uncomfortable. I appreciate your tolerance. Not so tolerant about things which are not comfortable, unless it is towards a certain purpose. If you're determined you want to sell 10,000 shoes this month, you write it all over your face. The shoe company's name, it's okay with me. After all, you're trying to scale up, trying to achieve something, it's okay with me. So, what is it? You're a... Are you hoarding for somebody? Are you an advertisement board for somebody? If you have to be one, at least advertise Isha.  We are right now putting in a subtle way here. But if you like this, if you're wearing to wear shoes around your neck and walk around, what's my problem? We will open a tattoo shop on your forehead. I love Isha. When you're anyway willing to do, why should I miss the opportunity? I thought it's unesthetic to do such things.


Welcome back to the Graham Miller show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson men's soccer head coach Graham Miller coach a one-to-one week last week Get that one-nothing overtime victory versus hood taric league. It's a second straight overtime winner First victory over hood since 2013 and then Jake Brown. He had two good performances this week But 13 saves in that game to get player the week honors. Yeah, it was you know It was it was good to keep the momentum going after the win over whitener and overtime You know, that was a that was a win that we needed to get back in the conference playoff mix So to go to hood on a wet night and a great Scottish night as I said to the guys and you know to go there and You know beat a team that beat is for nothing last year here at home You know it was a great and like you said hadn't you know beat hood since that 2013 was a big positive and a step in The right direction for this program is the hoods a very talented team and you know our guys just worked so hard And obviously Jake you know we we gave him the opportunity because him and Bobby have been battling out and Jake came through for us in That game and you know we held them at bay and then you know tarik did it again You know we just keep saying we'd like him to score within the 90 minutes But we'll take an overtime winner any day. So it was a it was a great performance on the road Yeah, and then you guys went to Arcadia fall one nothing there a tough battle there talk about that that game Yeah, the Arcadia game. We knew it was going to be another tough one the same thing You know the guys had lost them last year for one. They're always in the playoff mix So we knew it was going to be a tough, you know tough road trip You know we started off a little slow But the guys really played with a lot of heart a lot of fight and and we had some chances You know we had a great chance in the first half. We should have put away We we thought we had a clear penalty call a foul on tarik in the second half You know that we could have had and that we could have changed the game as well So, you know missing those opportunities not to get a goal and then obviously the game turned on You know some really poor officiating and you know I've talked to a lot of people about this and you know in my 11 years in college coaching I still don't know really what happened with the red card on one of our players and and it really was a Poor decision from the officials even looking at the video afterwards and and you know So, you know, we just didn't recover from that and obviously lost the goal a few minutes later And it's just tough playing with ten men, but the guys didn't give up You know, we could have crumbled in loss three or four nothing in the last 50 minutes The guys put a lot of fight fight in we had Arcadia on their heels and just disappointing a referee's decision Can I you know help that outcome of the game for Arcadia? But you know, it's not something we're gonna dwell on. Yeah, despite the loss You guys have some momentum going into this week You have two home games this week Lebanon Valley and Lycoming You guys are still in the playoff mix and you have to face two teams that are you know One's already clinched and another one's sitting in third place But how do you treat these two games going into this week? Well, that's it You know, we like I said, we can't dwell on it We put ourselves in a position being two and two that were you know lying in a position if we win tonight We can be tied for third and you know, that's that's that's down to the hard work But the guys so we've you know, we've let Saturday go and we know we've got two huge games this week against two teams That have been very good and very good records and like you said that like homing's already clinched their spot in the playoff So, you know, they're gonna want to be number one seed And you know, I think they think they play Messiah tonight.  You know, we need to we need to start positive tonight against Lebanon Valley And it would be huge for our program if we can and take that next step and put the extra work in to beat Lev Val tonight and and you know, then look forward to another you know Our homecoming senior game on Friday against Lycoming Well coach, we wish you the best luck tonight versus Lebanon Valley and then again on Friday night We'll see you back here next week.
