All right. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Hyperledger special interest group for healthcare. My name is Ray Dogum. I'm the chair of this group and typically we talk about industry updates, developments, anything that's related to healthcare and blockchain and also for Hyperledger as well. So welcome. If there's anybody on here who's new and would like to introduce themselves, I would just like to remind you that the recordings here are posted on YouTube. So be careful what you say, I guess, especially if it's related to anything confidential from your company. Would anyone like to introduce themselves today? Does anyone have any announcements for the membership here related to the last few weeks or any job openings or questions, any interests? What would you like to get out of this? Okay. In that case, I'm going to dive into the upcoming events for this month next month and the rest of the year. So in August 29th in Stanford, there's the science of blockchain event. You can access that here. And by the way, this agenda is posted for everyone. It is a public agenda. And it's also posted in the YouTube description so you can find that link there. An important event actually coming up is the 2022 Hyperledger Global Forum. And we do have a discount code if you are interested in attending. It is on September 12th through the 14th. There are a number of different panels, keynotes, discussions that are happening, and a few of them are related to healthcare as well. I just pointed them out here. The health 3.0, how a DeFi-enabled tokenized data economy will reinvent healthcare and put patients first. That's one event by Heather Flannery from Equidium Health. There's a demo called Achieving Pharma Supply Chain Resilience with Blockchain with Daniel Leverick and Zoolog from Zoolog Pharma. There's a panel discussion called Best Practices from Leading Healthcare and Life Sciences Blockchain Production Deployments and Advanced Research Investigations with Sophia Lopez, Eddo Kyle Culver from Synaptic Health Alliance and Flora Nanda from Pfizer as well as Alan Bachman from CVS. So that should be a really interesting one. Is anyone here planning to attend the conference, the Hyperledger Global Forum next month? It's closed by me, but unfortunately I'm in another engagement at the moment and I can't get the time off, which is a shame because there's a few of those plus some of the other events I'd have liked to go into. Thanks, Sid, for sharing that. Is it live? I know stuff is put up on the Hyperledger channel afterwards. There's no live non-in-person option is there or is there some of these? I think there might be a live option for attendees. I'll have a look again and I can check afterwards. Sure, yeah, and that's a good question next time. Next meeting, I can, if there is a link or if they are planning to livestream it, I can let the team, I'll let the membership know as well. Cool, cool, thanks. Yeah, thanks for asking. September 15th, the Converge to X Symposium in Austin, Texas will also be going on. This is a pretty good event as well. I think this is like the 5th, 4th or 5th year that they're doing, 6th year here. So definitely check that out, especially if you're in Texas, Austin. September 23rd and 24th, the D-Side Boston group is getting together for an event as well in Boston. That should be an interesting one. On November 13th through the 16th, there's a health event, HLTH. Health, I think this is H-T-L-H 2022, so you can check that out. HLTH, yeah. Okay. Any other events people are looking forward to going to? They wanted to include on this list? Yes, hello Ray. This is Wendy Charles. I wanted to add that the Government Blockchain Association is hosting a conference in Washington, D.C. at the end of September, September 29 and 30. And it's about blockchain and infrastructure, so mainly like enterprise level implementations. And the goal is for to discuss building blockchain for government. And like many of our friends will be attending and speaking and happy to see Heather Flannery and Frank Ricotta on a panel together to share updates. Excellent. Thanks for sharing that in the chat as well. Appreciate that. Oh, sorry that I was scurrying. My camera was covered. Good morning everyone. Hey, Wendy. Good to see you. All right. Jumping into industry news articles and interesting projects. These are a few articles I did find over the last couple of weeks. If there are others that you would like to share as well, just add them into the chat and we can discuss them too. The first one here is from Vice News titled Tiktok's parent company bought a bunch of hospitals for one and a half billion dollars. I thought this was pretty interesting because as we know, Tiktok has grown significantly in the last few years and has created a cultural phenomenon really with video short video. So for them to purchase hospitals, I thought was a little surprising, especially this many hospitals. This is apparently the biggest deal, a biggest purchase made since Beijing's anti-monopoly crackdown on tech companies. As you may know, the parent company is called Byte Dance. They have full ownership of the women's and children's hospitals and cities from Beijing to Shenzhen. Bloomberg reported. So, I don't know how this will impact their business model or what they plan to do with it. It's interesting to see a lot of tech companies. It's not just Tiktok, but Amazon and other tech companies are really getting to the healthcare space. It's a short article, but I just wanted to bring this up. Any thoughts on this one? And I don't know if they're working on any blockchain developments or protocols, but I wouldn't be surprised if they one day talk about that. Here on a SOFO security blog, I saw that Slack admits to leaking hashed passwords for five years. I thought this was quite alarming. Slack, so from 2017 to 2022, Slack said that the data sent to the recipients of invitations included the senders hashed password. So here, just let me take a step back and say the company admitted that it had inadvertently been oversharing personal data when users shared, when users created or revoked a shared invitation link for their workspaces. So as part of that, their senders hashed password was also sent. So it goes into what went wrong here. Slack's security advisory doesn't explain the breach very clearly saying merely that password was not visible to any Slack clients, discovering it required actively monitoring encrypted network traffic coming from Slack's servers. So it goes into the detail of what happened here, technically speaking. Have any of you used Slack before? Wendy, I think all of us have from some capacity or another video, but don't you share your experiences? I think Sid was talking. But yes, I would agree. I think many of us in the corporate world as well as for personal use have used Slack. That's why I thought this article was quite alarming. Especially if you reuse your passwords, that's especially foreign to use different passwords for different applications so that if it were to be leaked, you wouldn't be in be compromised for other accounts as well. Yeah, they sort of actively went out and if you use one of these password links, which is one of my alls I had done, they actively went out and said if you use one of these, there's a threat that's been discovered. This is how to do it. So yeah, no, it's a good one to highlight for sure. Absolutely. You know, and here was hacked. Moving on to the next article here. This is from Tech Republic building the future of healthcare in the metaverse published actually a couple days ago. So they discuss everything from article artificial intelligence to augmented reality and virtual reality and how the metaverse will evolve, including that, you know, they predict by 2030 the healthcare metaverse market will grow by 48% Kager CAGR and be worth 5.37 billion dollars. I also mentioned that many companies are driving this innovation and change, including brain lab, an override GE healthcare Siemens health and years meta platforms incorporated and video Microsoft Roblox, a game change VR and others. So certainly major companies are working on developing the future for the metaverse. They talk about how mental health is an important use case in the metaverse. And specifically they say here. This is a interesting statistics statistically more than 800,000 people kill themselves each year in the world and 45,000 of those individuals are in the US. So comparably the high percentage of veteran suicides remains unacceptable with over 6000 veteran suicides in 2019. So this company to be 3D is migrating its telehealth platforms into VR into this VR medical environment. So this is just one example of a company doing metaverse innovation. There are other examples here as well. And, you know, I think that what's interesting here is also the quality of metaverses, so many people are really working on so. And when I say quality, I mean, the visual quality, the, the graphics, the pixelation. Because companies like unity and unreal engine and these are gaming platforms. These are, these have been used for in a hardcore gamers are gaming development. So what that means is the reality of VR is becoming more and more high definition. So, and I think that will drive adoption eventually because one of the, you know, one of the challenges for VR is that the quality is not really great so it like becomes difficult to use after a while, you know, you can only last 1520 minutes in those glasses but once they improve that I think it'll, it'll change the way people adopt it. Any thoughts on that. Yes, Wendy, I just had. Well, I think it's, it's great progress. A big question I have is about licensing of healthcare providers. Do any of you know whether how they manage licensing of healthcare providers in this virtual environment and whether they an individual must declare which state they are currently residing in. And it's great, you know, to develop counseling and different interventions for people who are in need. I was just curious as to how some of the current licensing laws applied. That's a great question Wendy. And it's also similar with telehealth as well in terms of like provider licensing right. Yeah, I don't know if there's been. Anyone on the call now. I'm not sure. And I'm sure they'll have to figure that out as well but Yeah, for some of the earliest metaverse platforms, such as second life, which is one of the first, they actually had a license and a licensed clinic. And each individual to declare which state they were residing in and they're they have therapists that were licensed in many states but treat people from certain states. I would hope that as states are entering licensing compacts that there could be more progress and making like mental health services and certain types of therapy services available without. I was going to say such stringent licensing constraints but of course we want qualified people but I just wasn't sure how it's managed. Yeah and I, you know, I do recognize that after COVID things kind of changed significantly with licensing for providers. And I think it's gotten easier to get licensed in various states. However, it's still a 50 state system in the United States at least. And the idea here is the patient can only be treated by a physician in which they're currently in so if a patient isn't, you know, Florida, they have to be seen by a physician who is a Florida license provider. And of course in the metaverse it's kind of different it's kind of strange because you can be anywhere. So it's a fair point. Let's take a look at for that. It also says here blockchain technology is recognized for its security potential. The blockchain is decentralized and data is not uploaded to a server or stored in a single location. Data in the blockchain also moves through several computers or nodes is encrypted and validated and is extremely hard to hack because all computers or nodes on the network must be breached simultaneously for the data to be compromised. Interesting article, very, very high level, but fair enough. Yeah, I'm going to move on from that one but I thought that was interesting to highlight. Just, just on that one way there was a, there was a, I think Oxford teamed up with the NHS in in the UK to do a sort of VR so not quite, not the metaverse but still VR for people with psychosis I dug up the link. If it's of interest. Thanks for sharing that game changer VR. Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, but this is certainly an important space so I think there's first time I've seen this this is really cool. And obviously there's just a UK one so it's probably why you might pass by. It's fair enough. But they have done some studies on it so that's really great to see. Yeah, thanks for sharing this all included in the comments as well for anyone who's interested. Cool. And maybe one day we'll all be joining meetings through VR right that's kind of the promise behind the metaverse as well. So, engaging working environment, when we're all remote. Okay, this was an article from Politico titled artificial intelligence was supposed to transform healthcare. It hasn't rather lengthy, but I just wanted to highlight a few like grabs that I thought were interesting. So, this one is about AI funding and healthcare and how it's grown significantly, especially over the last few years here in 2021 there was $10 billion funded for digital health startups that were using AI. And 2022 is not over yet. So that's subject to change here, but it doesn't seem that it'll exceed last year's we'll see. And the FDA here it says the FDA has taken steps to develop a model for evaluating AI, but it is still an early it is still in its early days. So, to be to be seen how that evolves. The interesting thing here is that's highlighting that the AI enabled companies are becoming a larger share of digital health funding overall. So, about 35 30% of all digital health funding is going to AI enabled companies. That's pretty significant I think talks about different use cases using AI and examples here, including one from, you know, using AI and radiology at NYU, Lango and health, some of the challenges for AI. So this is interesting always. The biggest barrier to the use of AI and healthcare has to do with infrastructure. So health systems need to enable algorithm algorithms to access patient data over the last several years. Large well funded systems have invested in moving their data into the cloud, creating vast data lakes ready to be consumed by AI. But that's not easy for smaller players. And another problem is that every health system is unique in its technology and the way it treats patient that means an algorithm may not work as well everywhere. So we talked about this independent study and a widely used sepsis detection algorithm from EHR, a giant epic, we all know company epic, and it showed poor results in real world settings, suggesting where and how hospitals used AI mattered. Just throwing AI at it does not really solve problems. It's really a fine tuned precision sort of surgical application for AI. And it also mentions how that radiology is dominating in terms of FDA approved AI enabled devices. Next article here is related to the Ethereum merge. So, as we know, Ethereum is moving from proof of work to proof of stake, which is reducing its carbon footprint significantly. This is apparently happening in September. That's the plan mid September at some point. And, you know, this is something that's been in the planning process in development for essentially almost, you know, years now. So it's a huge milestone for the Ethereum community. And we will see how it ends up at this. There's so much speculation around this. But there have been many efforts to ensure that it's been tested thoroughly. So, you know, proof of stake is already working on their test nets. So anyone curious about the merge or working on the merge or have any thoughts or comments to share about the merge? Okay. Well, I'm sure it's significant. I know that hyper ledger platforms and hyper ledger tools and applications. Some of them that are connected to the Ethereum protocol will also have some changes as well so there's work to be done and managing that. And just to add to that, this is more honest. They just recently did the merge on the test net, I guess, and they are figuring how we're just working. But overall the merge does not impact any of the application development or the developer side. It's only impacting the validators, ultimately. And essentially they're moving to proof of stake. And really it's impacting the validators but they have put some controls and rules in terms of validators cannot disconnect their machines validators don't get access to their funds immediately at least for now. And then that they have to run two nodes, right? Essentially the consensus node as well as the execution node. So I think they are figuring out all these things and there is a gradual transition towards using Ethereum 2.0, which will finally become Ethereum. They'll drop the 2.0. Right. Yeah. And the, as you mentioned, the test net blockchain, Gorely was made, you know, was activated on August 10th or that transition happened. Recently. Very recently, sure. Definitely. And it seems it went okay. The test weren't flawless. Some validators went offline in each test for different reasons. Ethereum can continue to function. However, so long as most validators continue to remain online and no group of validators falls out of consensus. So there is a little bit of risk here. Yeah, there was some random news on after the merge, I think the value of Ethereum dropped below 1900, but it's still 7% up from whatever it was, you know, so I was trying to figure out out of curiosity, why did it drop? And not that it is a significant drop, but below 1900, but it's picked up back. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, a lot of good information here. From the quidium side, I probably should know this, but I don't. The, what the impact on latency and cost and other things this anyone have a sense of what that is. The transaction fees materially drop latency improve substantially. I think the the blog actually on the Ethereum website has got the, the myths about the Ethereum merge. So there's no change in the latency or whatever it is. So the questions you're asking is documented there changing the transaction fees. It's, they have a fixed price plus a tip, and that tip gives priority to transactions, and the way the validators get compensated. There's a slight change, they still get their base, but they also get access to the tip and stuff like that. So, good question actually, you know, so I was also very curious. Yeah, I put a link to the misconceptions page in the chat as well for anyone who's interested. Yeah. Okay, thanks for the questions and feedback here. A couple educational nuggets from the last couple weeks, one is the decide an idea market saw a sub stack related to how decide can generate these idea markets without institutions. So basically, what they're trying to do is create credibility without institutions. And the way they do that is these on chain ratings, and they generate a list of people who are confident in the results of a study. So it's basically like a seems like a voting sort of mechanism, or rating really not voting. Yeah, here it says in the same in the same way sub stack is helping you shift trust in journalism away from institutions and towards individuals idea market enables credibility credibility on all topics to follow the same pattern. It won't be long until the opinion of 100 people you trust outweighs the opinion of one institution you don't. I thought that was interesting. It's also still challenging to accomplish this because it could be 100 people that, you know, we have to be able to trust that these 100 people are knowledgeable about the subject. Because the institution we can currently we can rely on them to a certain to a certain degree at least. Yeah, so I just want to put this here it's got some information on how new income streams can be developed for D size well through a rating system. And yeah, another huge piece of news that came out was related to tornado cash and us sanctions. So if you haven't heard tornado cash, which is a protocol built using a theorem smart contracts that enables users to essentially wash their Ethereum or make it so that it's hard to identify where the original Ethereum came from obfuscates the origin of those ETH through like a mixing laundering sort of protocol. And obviously, the government is not going to let this continue without trying to stop it. So what they've done is they shut down the website as well as arrest. And the Netherlands, one of the developers for tornado cash was arrested. And so now there is a huge debate between privacy, freedom of speech and protecting citizens as well on the other side. So, yeah, this is going to be something that people will be talking about for a while. I think it also has a lot to do with the blockchain community overall. In terms of censorship resistance and privacy. So, and what I've read and please correct me if I'm wrong or if anyone has any other opinions but whatever it is that tornado cash does have some legal standing to defend itself. Based on legal precedence versus the US Treasury. So we'll see what happens. The department, the US department US Treasury Department seems to be blatantly going against the prevailing law that open source software is equivalent to speech, which is protected by the First Amendment of US Constitution. So, we'll see what happens. I think the tornado cash Dow has been raising money or they've been voting on whether or not to to appeal or to sue the US Treasury. So we'll see how that all turns out. People's githubs have been suspended as well due to this. So, interesting question here is could tornado cash is hired legal team be arrested. But rest seems to be an intimidation a tactic they shot across the boat to warn other developers who write privacy oriented apps and dApps, considering that the financial action task force coordinates both anti money laundering and legislative efforts from South Korea to Panama such experience was to be expected. Anyway, this also can apply to our health data in the future, because you know essentially, if we believe our health data is also should be private. And we want to keep it that way. You know, our government's going to be okay with that. Right now our data is private until the government wants that information. For security purposes, national security purposes so yeah. And if, yeah, okay. And finally just the health on chain podcast, I published the 100th episode of the podcast where interviewed crowdfunded cures, which is a Dow, and they're helping other dows like Vita Dow and molecule develop their their models as well so check that out if you are are interested. That's all I had for today's agenda but if there's anything else that members here would like to share discuss. Did I miss any important news of the week. Are there things that you are working on that you think people should know about. Congratulations on your 100th episode. That's a huge milestone. Thank you. Thanks Wendy. Appreciate that. Yeah, it's been three or four years now been working on this podcast so I'm pretty excited to be able to get to 100. Thank you. I'm going to do it with you all listening people give me suggestions and feedback all the time. And if you this person or this company so if you feel like there's a project going on that needs some attention. I need to listen to that. All right. Well, thank you all for joining today. It's were a bit early to end but I think that's okay. Any final thoughts or questions. All right. Great. I'll stop recording here we'll join. Please join us in another two weeks for another meeting. And in the meantime, you know where to reach me. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you.

Wait, I knew it was this one. You would know I would never do that That's not what I was sweating. That's disgusting. How do you feel that Team Mariah try to get you before you left? You have the boys. No, I feel like I only have the boys. I feel like I only have 50 minutes to see. We want you to stay here with me. Huh? Don't leave. I actually want you to stay here. Dead ass, I do feel bad for leaving Mariah But I've been with Mariah for the past week straight. I haven't even seen the boys at all. Come on. They're my new friends too. You guys just hear that. You hear that? I made some new friends. Do you hear that? You guys hear that? I don't hear nothing in this house right now. I'm right here, babe. You can obviously hear me. You can obviously hear me. Who are you? Seriously, what are you doing?  Why are you touching me? Why are you getting close to me?  Don't know.  They talk all the freaking time.  They're always babbling Hey, that just proves my point exactly why I want to hang out with the boys tonight. I don't have to listen to this at all That was not my butt. That was my bag. I just said a hefty back workout. You know what I'm saying? I'm getting ripped out here, babe. The Marvel Squad already knows Team Rascal. Oh my, we don't know. Every time she pranks me she's gonna do the dance Hi, oh my god I should have known right away right when my gut instinct was that it was a prank. Team Mariah is the better team. No, no. Team Mariah is a good team, but you're not the best. There's Stop hey, hey, do I know why I wore this shirt to remind to remind you of exactly what you are a Basic He saw that I was wearing this type of color today, so he's like oh, I gotta go copy Mariah with it No, totally unplanned guys colors as her, you know, because I'm upset. Totally.  I will get her back I should have known I should have looked harder for the camera But honestly she hit it pretty good and I literally wouldn't have found it unless she had me walk over here So I I had a hat. I hate you for that, but I love you and too bad.  I said I still love you.  Hey, you know we get our house move in Oh, shoot. I got a lot of prank. Hey tonight tonight.  Did you tell him that we just looked at the house? Do you tell him? Oh, no, we don't want to see you. I don't you're showing your underwear Why would they want to see that? Exactly, did you should you tell him? We saw the house today. We were there for about an hour So freaking excited for you to see this every day. I get more and more excited I cannot wait to close and get this thing open. Oh my god.  Thank you so much for being a part of our channel and having a post of you And we will see you guys in the next video, but it's Oh But it's a bad piece of you guys


The US Air Force Security Forces with emergency response flight 424th Air Base Squadron, practice room clearing techniques. In the Training Support Center, Benelux Urban Training Site on Chiever's Air Base, Belgium. The other shots you went directly to the threat.


Warrior of the Woodland! Ranger Bill, Warrior of the Woodland. Scruggling against extreme odds. Traveling dangerous trails. Showing rare courage in the face of disaster. In the air. On horseback. Or in a screaming squad car. Ranger Bill, his mind alert. Already smile. Unswerving. Loyal to his mission. And all this in exchange for the satisfaction of a job well done. Bob, do you know what this gadget is? Of course I do, Marin. That's a plow. That's right. And which way do you have to look when you're plowing, son? Well, you have to keep your eyes ahead of you all the time to make a straight furrow. And when a man's plowing, he ain't got any time for looking back. What if you made a mistake like, say for instance you made a bad turn and started the next furrow too far over or something like that? Well, I've made a lot of mistakes plowing, but I can't correct them. I just keep lying down and going and learning by my mistakes. Every time I come around, I see where I made the mistake and I remember it and learn how not to make the same mistake again. Gradually as I plow up more of the field and move farther away from the mistake, I forget about it. Don't fret over it. Pretty soon I can't even see it. But I never forget the lesson it taught me. Well, why not go back and try to correct the mistake right after you make it? Son, you'd make a bigger mess of it than if you left it alone. Those are the words of a wise man to a younger man. Great words of wisdom born out of a rich experience with life and with the Lord. I'm not going to pull ever much about today's story because it speaks for itself and right to the point. So what do you say we get on with it, huh? I like to call this one Broken Bootstraps. Hey, Bob! Oh, Bob! Bob! Hold up a second. Well, aren't you even going to say good morning? Why should I? This isn't a good morning for me. Uh-oh. I see old man Satan's busted your bootstraps again, huh? If you mean I'm down in the dumps, I guess you're right. Now, listen here, young fella. This is a good morning in spite of how you feel. We're both healthy. We've had some food to eat. We got clothes to wear, and we live in the pre-country. Also, the Lord's given us a bright, sunshiney day and good weather. But even if it were raining or blustery, it would still be a good morning. Now wouldn't it? It all depends on how you look at it. That's all. Yep, it sure is. How about looking at it over a cup of coffee in a sweet roll? I'll treat. Bill, why waste your time on me? You know I'm an incurable pessimist. I don't know any such thing, Bob. Come on, let's get that coffee. Don't get lost in that revolving door. Uh... There's a boot over there. Good piece, fellas.  Okay. What do you have, sir? Same thing, I guess. Two pieces of crazy cake. Hey, that's it. I couldn't think of the name of it. Crazy cake. Coming right up. Where'd they ever get a name like that? Crazy cake.  Made right here. Looks like a crazy mess, but it's delicious. Thank you. You're new here, aren't you? Yes. I've been here a couple of days. Where have you been hiding, Han? I never hide. You should eat homeless. I know all about you, Mr. Bill Jefferson.  And how? I sure don't understand how a handsome guy like you has remained a bachelor so long. The secret is not to come in here too often. All right, I'll bide my time. Can you yell if you want more coffee? Okay. Well, when's the lecture start, Bill? Lecture? What lecture? Oh, you know all that stuff about don't let discouragement get you down and courage is part of a real man, all that sort of stuff. No lecture this morning, Bob. What do you know? He's finally given up hope. No? Well, why haven't you? Everyone else has. Even my wife, no. She told me I should get a job in the city instead of trying to make a go of it on the ranch. As a matter of fact, that's why you caught me walking around town so early. A little early in the day, I'd be looking for a job. And I don't think you'd better wear a cowboy's clothes either. Oh, I wasn't looking for a job. I was just walking. Marge and I had a real blowout this morning. It shook me up pretty bad. No argument? No, we haven't. Well, a little tiff once in a while, but nothing like this. You're getting so bad, you're getting on your own nerves. Is that it? I guess that just about sums up the situation. When a fellow gets down right nasty and mean to his wife, he better stop and think it over. You know, I'm worse than a bear just out of hibernation when I get this discouraged. What brought on this extra-large shroud this time, Bob? Nothing in particular, and everything in general.  Work schedule shot to pieces by delays. One of my men had an accident, and he's laid up when I need him most. Bill's coming in. Money going out, nothing to stop it. Hey, since you're just throwing me around this morning, how about taking a ride in my car out to see a plane of mine? Yeah, okay. What's there to lose? All right, let's get started. Where are we going? We're going to find out what courage can do. A spread this is. Look at those barns and silos. What a layout. This is the double box M range bomb. What's it take in for size, the whole county? Just about. Okay, let's get out of here. That's Myron sitting in the easy chair on the porch. Let's have a chat with him. Whatever you say. Is he the owner? Yeah, although he's son Mark, Bill Jefferson will come on up here and sit down. Myron, how are you? Oh, it's good to see you, Bill. So very good. Thank you. Good to see you too. Who's your young friend there? This is Bob Benfelt. Oh, how do you do, Bob? Pretty fair, Mr. Just call me Myron, Bob. Okay. This is quite a spread you've got here. Yes, it is. Say, aren't you the young fella that just started building your own spread over near Tuddles Corners? Yeah. How'd you know about that? When you get my age, son, and start to loaf around most of the time, you get to learn lots of things. I suppose you do. This place doesn't look like there's much loafing going on around here. Mark runs things now. It's only the last few years I've taken it easy. Not a touch of arthritis. Well, the doc says I got to slow down. He means he only works six or eight hours a day instead of ten or twelve. That's about what I figured. Myron, we start by because I'd like Bob to hear how you got this spread. Bob's kind of got weak bootstraps and they break every once in a while. Bill means I'm an incurable pessimist and I'm afflicted with being permanently discouraged since my wife and I started our own spread. That's what I figured, son. We all have that trouble to begin with. How do you mean we all have it? By the looks of things you didn't. Didn't I now? You just sit right down there and listen for a spell. You've got some learning to do. I'd like to hear your story. It isn't a story, Bob. It's a fact. It's a hard and cold fact. Why, when Hazel and me arrived out here forty years ago, it was pretty rough. Mike was just a little fellow then. Well, Hazel, this is the place. This is the ranch we bought? Yep. This is the ranch we bought. You're terribly disappointed, aren't you? Yes, Myron. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. Should we go back home and forget about this? No, no. This is our home. You wouldn't be happy anywhere else, but here I know that from the look on your face. You don't see the dirty buildings and that run-down house. You don't see the broken fences and those weed-covered grounds, do you, honey? No, my dear. I don't see them at all. I see here some day a great ranch. The buildings painted white and every board in good repair. I see a nice comfortable house and home. I see well-kept fences and a thousand cattle in the pastures and ranges. I see a ranch and a farm that our son can be proud of. And our son's son, Hazel, we're the roots of a great tree of family heritage and tradition that will be built here. And that all these things will honor God. Oh, you should have seen this, Bob. Hazel and I both aren't horseback. She was holding Mark in her arms and I was riding her on a dozen-headed cattle that was the beginning of the great herd we have here today. In fact, right over there in the winter stands a hand-carved likeness of our first great herd bull. Oh, the powder nose we called him. Oh, powder nose. Where'd you ever get a name like that? Well, Mark gave it to him because the bull always put his nose into the dusty ground and blew the dust all around. I'll tell you more about old powder nose later on, but let me pick up my story. Hazel, can you keep an eye on things until I get the wagon up here? Oh, sure, I'll manage. You sure? Of course I am. I'll go up to the house and I'll take care of Mark so you get back. Be alert for rattlers inside the house. It's been empty for quite some time now. I'll be careful. Now go on, get!  But you know, I kind of think he's the bravest. And we'll help him all we can, won't we, honey? Yeah, boy. Come on. Whoa, there, boy. Yeah, come on, Mark. Mommy'll go inside. And we'll see what it looks like. I hope it doesn't fall on our heads. I sure wasn't joking about this place being empty a long time. It looks to me like it's never been lived in. I guess you and Mommy better wait outside for Daddy to come with the wagon. Then he can clean out the house of all these varmints and rattlesnakes. Thank you. You shouldn't have tried to sleep out the house. I'll be all right. You can come in now. No, no rattlers? Good. I looked the whole house over carefully. Even the cellar. Safe. I'll get the scythe out soon as I've unloaded the wagon and cut the weeds and grass down around the house so nothing can hide in them. What are we going to do for water and heat? I don't know yet, but we'll manage somehow. Don't worry about it. I don't worry about it. Myron, how can you save it? Just look at this awful place. And now we don't even have water or heat. Still not too late. Turn back. Oh, honey, I'm sorry. It's just that everything's so difficult. Yes, I know it is, Hazel. But we're young and healthy and strong. I know that that's true, but how are we ever going to make a nickel off this wilderness weed patch? Well, you know, in the book of Isaiah it's written, Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, thou art mine. When thou passes through the waters, I will be with thee. And through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. When thou walkers through the fire, thou shall not be burned. Neither shall the flame kindle upon thee, for I am the Lord thy God, the holy one of his. I guess Marge and I have it pretty easy compared to the days when you and your wife and Mark started out here, Myron. I should say so. Well, now it's all in how you look at it. Young people of the day have different problems than we had when Hazel and I were young, but it still takes the same brand of God-given courage to make the grade. Well, a couple of years rolled by and we worked hard. Hazel tried to help where she could, but I'm not the kind of man that can let a woman do a man's work, so she only did what her strength and womanly dignity would allow. Then one evening... Tired, huh, Daddy? Oh, yes, Mark. Daddy is dog-tired. Someday soon you'll be able to help bring in the hay, honey.  Bye, Daddy. Good night, little fella. Sleep tight. Pleasant dreams. Poor fella's fast asleep. Do you say something, dear? I'm sorry I woke you, honey. Oh, that's all right. I was just taking 40 winks, I guess.  I thought I'd read Camper's Farmer before I turned in. Oh, yes. Sure you will. Can't even read your own name, you're so tired. Good night, Hazel.  All right, I will. Good night, sleepyhead. Uh, Myron...  A cowboy. What are you gonna pay him with, Ross? No, we'll have to figure out something. You're working so hard you're losing weight and you're overtired all the time and you know it. Oh, dear heavenly father, please help us get a hired hand so Myron won't have to work so hard. You know we can't really afford help, but we need a good, strong man to help Myron. Please help us find this man and then be able to work out some way to pay him. In Jesus' name. Amen. Howdy, ma'am. My name's... Don't you move, mister.  Where'd you come from, anyway? Don't shoot, ma'am. I mean no harm. Please don't shoot. Hazel, put your six-gun away. But Myron, we don't know who he is or what he's up to. He might be an outlaw. Relax, girl. Can't you see he's unarmed? Besides, he looks hungry. Well, all right, I'll fix up something for him later. I just hope he's not an outlaw or a wrestler. Ma'am, that was sure powerful good. Powerful good. Well, I'm glad. Now that you've had your fill, you'd better be moving along. Hazel, what kind of hospitality is that? Turning a man off in the night. Are you afraid of him with me here? I don't know, Myron. It's just that he gave me such a start. I'm most sorry, ma'am. I really am. I knowed you was praying to the good Lord, and I'm most sorry I scared you the way I did. What are you doing walking out on the prairie at this time of night? I was just coming here like I was told. Like you were told? By whom? By Parson Whitcomb, ma'am. Parson Whitcomb? Yes, sir, ma'am. This here letter will tell you all about me and why and what for and whom so ever and all that kind of stuff. Let's see that. Here's what he says. Myron, that's Parson Whitcomb's writing. Sure as I'm standing here. Yeah, it is. Well, land's sakes. Hub, why didn't you get here before a doc and you wouldn't have come so close to getting shot? My poor Icon Feed wouldn't go no faster, ma'am. But why is Parson Whitcomb sending you to us? We're as poor as church mice. I'll say. I want the truth, Herb. Let's get started on the right foot right now. We're trying to help you, Hub. Not hurt you.  We won't send you back. At least not until we've had a chance to prove you. Parson Whitcomb says right here in the letter you accepted the Lord as your savior. Yes, ma'am, I sure did. But that was after it happened. What happened? Well, I tried to rustle some steers and got caught. And Parson Whitcomb went before the judge and got you freed on the promise that you'd come out here and make good. Yes, sir. That's it. Well, this won't go any farther than Hazel and I. Now, we'll fix you a bed and we'll all try and get some sleep. You mean you're not going to turn me out? Well, I should be turning you out. Because I'm a crook. Well, one mistake doesn't make a crook. Now, let's not mention it anymore, huh? We just wanted to know, now that we do, it's all forgotten. Yippee! Well, for land's sake, control yourself. You'll wake the baby. Baby? You got young ones, too? Yes, a little boy. His name is Mark. Oh, that's fine, ma'am. Real fine. I'll be his big brother and watch over him real close. I'll work hard, real hard. You just wait and see. I'm sure you will. Only, we can't pay you wages yet. Just room and board and clothes. Maybe a little pocket money now and again until we get on our feet. That's fine, sir. Mighty fine with me. I asked the Lord to give me a good home. And he did. He answered my first prayer real fine. He answered ours, too, Hub. Well, Hub stayed on. And he was the answer to our prayers, all right? He was strong, ambitious, obedient, and intelligent. And he grew in his experience with the Lord. Hazel and I watched Mark follow Hub's footsteps. Hub was Mark's big brother, all right. And Hazel and I thanked the Lord over and over again. Then one day, Hub and I and Mark went to town to the Freight Depot. A group of friends and neighbor and ranchers were standing around looking at a brand-new tractor and plow standing on the platform. Yeah, I just didn't see anything. Howdy, boys. Howdy, Myron. Hi, Mark and Cliff. How y'all been? Say, Myron, looks like Sodbusters is trying to come into the valley. Yeah, it does look that way, doesn't it? I wonder whose tractor and plow is this anyway. What's mine? I'm the Sodbusters. Have you gone loco, Myron? Gone loco? He is loco. I can just see him now. Playing with his new toy. Now, what's a big idea, anyway? I'm going to make some money. With that? Oh, well, you just tell us some more about this here, Brainstorm of Yard, or is it a big secret? No, I'm going to grow my own grain and corn to finish feeder stairs for market. You ain't serious, really. I mean, you are one of the finest young breeding herds in the state. Yeah, well, that fine young breeding herd isn't making any money for me yet. It's too young.  I'm not going to starve to death like most of you did. What about the bad grass years, bad winters? I'm going to grow high protein hay and good grain and corn and fat and marketable stairs every year and sell them for cash.  What book have you been reading? Good books, Buck. Oh, a book for my wife.  Did it work, Myron? Yes, it did, Bob. I started with a few head of feeders. Each year, as the ground produced better crops, the feeder herd got larger. And each year, the cash returns got larger, too. Soon, every ranch in the valley was doing the same thing. We had to grow our own feed because it was too expensive to truck it over the mountains. Then came two wet years and the small grain harvest was very small and of poor quality. One morning, Cliff and Buck stopped by to see what I was going to do to harvest more grain the third year. Myron, how are you going to harvest your grain this year? With a combine. A combine? You mean you ain't going to use a threshing machine? Nope. It was too much grain that way. It won't work. Your grain will heat up in the bin. Burn your granary to the ground. No, it won't, Buck. Well, you say it won't, but how are you going to stop it? Ventilation. Use stove pipes to ventilate the interior of the bin of grain. Did it work? Yes, sir. Very well, Bob. The grain didn't heat up in the bin. Boy, you sure know your stuff. But how could you make so many radical changes when they laughed at you and criticized you? Well, it took courage, son. God-given courage. That's right. After having such a rough beginning, everything went smoothly after that. It did not. Why, the drought of 28 in the winter of 30 took a heavy toll, but we survived. We lost breeding stock from accidents and a valuable cow got caught in a fence and pulled her spine out of a wagon trying to get free. That one cost us $30,000. I know you're amazed, Bob, but courage and faith in the Lord's promises is the answer to the success of this spread. Well, thanks, Byron, but we've got to be running along now. Glad to help, Bill. Come back again and don't make it so long between visits now. I'll do that. Say hello to Hazel and Harbin, Mark, for me. I'll do that. And, uh, Bob... Yes, sir? If you let the Lord mend your broken bootstrap so he can lift you up, they'll never break again. Thank you, sir. I'll remember that when I get discouraged. Our story today doesn't end in the usual manner with my rangers and I saving somebody's life as death reaches out to snatch them from us or some other equally harrowing experience. Know this story ends quietly and peacefully. A young man who is so very discouraged and beaten by his problems has found new strength, new hope, and new courage. And this time his supply of courage won't be exhausted because he knows where he can get an immediate fresh supply and the Lord always has it ready in abundance. You try it, as Bob did, and you will find out too. We'll see you next week for more adventure with... Ranger Bill! Ranger Bill comes to you transcribed from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.


Maxime, a draw today with the black pieces against Daniel Duboff. Tell us about the game. Yeah, I got surprised in the opening, I mean, as always, but I had to find a couple of great moves and then the point structure was very symmetrical and I managed to activate my pieces one after another so it just pitted out to a draw. Right, no trouble getting the draw today but are you pleased with the result? Well, I think it's a normal result and I was not going to go a lot today. I mean, depending on the circumstances tomorrow and if I get black again, I might and hopefully I'll get white and be able to put some pressure on my opponent.  Actually, that's not even sure depending on the results today but I mean, definitely a win tomorrow would get me in a very comfy position so I'll definitely aim for that. Now going into the last round, are you happy with the quality of your games? At first I wasn't and now I played a pretty good game yesterday actually and a couple of moves that were quite interesting so I feel like it's been improving with the tournament going on. Right, now tomorrow we've got an early start to our final round so plans for tonight? Plans for tonight is probably going to be like we stay at the hotel with the French, we play some French card game but I don't think the casino will wait until Thursday. Right, now Hikaru and Rappu are still playing, it's a complicated game. Any particular opponent for tomorrow that you're hoping out of the two of them you play? No, I don't really care. I know that Hikaru is slightly better but his technical task is anything but easy but Richard will have to defend pretty well to save the half point. We look forward to watching your game tomorrow and wish you all the best for it. Thank you. Thank you Tanya.

The undue detention of a ranger belonging to the Kaziranga National Park. So in this news article discussion, let us understand the difference between judicial custody and police custody. Firstly, let us start with the basics of arrest. See in India, the administration of criminal law and the various processes are governed by Code of Criminal Procedure or Criminal Procedure Code in short called as CRPC. Chapter 5 of CRPC 1973 deals with the arrest. Here, arrest means putting restrictions on the movement of a person. It can be done by investigating officer if he or she is satisfied that the arrest is necessary to prevent the person from doing mischiefs. The mischiefs include committing the same offence again or to prevent tampering of evidence and etc. Apart from this, article 22 of the Constitution of India also has provisions for protection of a person during arrest of detention. Remember that now only after arrest it leads to custody. Remember the arresting authority cannot detain a person in custody for more than 24 hours without producing him or her before a magistrate as per section 57 of CRPC. So this is the basics about arrest. Now let us see about Here the word custody means apprehending someone for protective care. Remember the words custody and arrest are not the same. It is true that for every arrest there is custody but not every custody has arrest component in it. Now let us see the difference between police custody and judicial custody. See generally the police custody means that the person is confined at a lock up or remains in custody of the police officer. So whenever a person is arrested by police or investigating agency and detained in custody the police may interrogate the suspect in the police station but this detention is not supposed to be longer than 24 hours. To put it simply the officer in charge of the case is required to produce the suspect before the appropriate judge within 24 hours. This is governed by section 167 of CRPC. In such situations the magistrate may further remand the person to custody of police for a period of maximum 15 days. After laps of 15 days or the police custody period granted by the magistrate the person may be further remanded to judicial custody. Hope you can get it. Now let us see the difference between them. Know that judicial custody means that the person is detained under the purview of the judicial magistrate. In such a situation the accused is lodged in central or state prison. The judicial custody can extend up to 60 or 90 days as a whole depending upon the maximum punishment prescribed for the offense. Know that in police custody the investigating authority can interrogate a person while in judicial custody there will be no interrogation unless the official get permission of the court for questioning. Thirdly in police custody the person has various rights like a right to legal counsel, right to be informed of the grounds and etc. Remember it is the responsibility of the police to ensure all these rights but in the case of judicial custody the accused will be in jail so the prison manual will govern the routine conduct of the person. In judicial custody the person can apply for a bail as per chapter 33 of the CRPC. Moreover know that the under trial person cannot remain in judicial custody beyond half of the time period of his or her prescribed maximum punishment. So these are all some of the important points that you have to remember about judicial and police custody. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Look at this news article. Recently minister of development of northeastern region donor held a virtual meeting with the chief minister of all the northeastern states to discuss about the projects implemented under PM divine scheme. So in the media it was found that only a little over 10 percentage of funds under PM divine has been sanctioned so far and the scheme is yet to take off in the northeastern states. So in this news article discussion let us understand about PM divine scheme. See before entering our analysis let us see the rationale for the scheme. The states of northeastern part of India are well below the national average in terms of the basic minimum services BMS in the country. There are critical development gaps in northeast as revealed in the Sustainable Development Goal Index 2021-22 prepared by Niti Ayo Gandhi UNDP. This forms the basis of separate developmental scheme for the northeast. Now let us see what is Prime Minister's Development Initiative for Northeast region or the PM divine scheme. See the PM divine scheme is launched to fund the development project of the northeastern part of the country. Remember it includes both infrastructural and social sector projects. This is a central sector scheme that was introduced as a part of the union budget 2022-23. Here we should be aware that the central sector scheme is a government scheme which is fully funded and implemented by the central government. The budget of the scheme will be 6600 crore rupees for a period of four years that is from 2022-23 to 2025-26. So this is the remaining years of the 15th finance commission period. Note that the scheme is implemented by the ministry of development of northeastern region. Talking about the objectives of the scheme. Firstly to fund the infrastructure in convergence with the spirit of PM Gatti Shakti scheme. Secondly to support social development project based on the needs of the northeastern region. Thirdly to enable livelihood activities for youth and women. And fourthly to fulfill the development gaps in various sectors. So these are all some of the important points that I have to remember about PM divine scheme. So these learnt points. Now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Look at this news article according to the news article ministry of women and the child development is planning to establish 17000 crush in the Anganwadi's across the country. They are going to be established under the Pallana scheme. See the aim of this particular program is to address the need for quality daycare facility or crush for the children of working women. So far nearly 5222 crush had been approved by the ministry and it is planned to depute two additional crush workers in each Anganwadi. So this is the crux of the news article given here. So in this news article discussion we shall learn about this Pallana scheme from our exam perspective. See the ministry of women and child development has launched an umbrella scheme called Mission Shakti. This was launched for the safety, security and holistic empowerment of women. The scheme will be implemented during the 15th finance commission period of 2021 to 2022 to 2025 to 2026. Under the scheme the erstwhile national crush scheme has been reorganized and renamed as Pallana scheme. Note that Pallana is under the sub-scheme Samartya of Mission Shakti. Note that the scheme will have a feature of Anganwadi come crush facility in it. Talking about the features of the scheme. See firstly the scheme focuses on children of age 6 months to 6 years of working women in rural and urban areas. Here the working women should be employed for a minimum period of 15 days in a month or 6 months in a year. Secondly the availability of a crush facility will be for 7.5 hours a day and 26 days a month to aid the working women. Thirdly with respect to the fee details the crush facility is given at the subsidized rate. It charges rupees 20 a month per child for families below the poverty line. For other families it is between rupees 100 to 200 a month. Fourthly with the funding details of the scheme. See this scheme is a centrally sponsored one with funding mechanism of 60 percentage from union government, 30 percentage from state government and 10 percentage from individual NGOs. So these are all the salient features of the scheme. Talking about the objectives of the scheme. Firstly it aims to provide quality crush care facility by providing a safe and secure environment for children. Secondly it aims to support nutritional health and cognitive development of children. Thirdly it will enable mothers to take up gainful employment and will lead to empowerment of women. Some of other key services offered by the scheme includes sleeping facility, early stimulation for children below three years of age, preschool education for children below the age of three to six years, supplementary nutrition which will be sourced locally, then growth monitoring, health checkups and immunization in convergence with POSH 2.2. So these are all certain important points I have to remember about PULNA scheme. So these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Take a look at this news article. According to the news article the Supreme Court has said that it will have seven more judge benches in next year in order to deal with important cases. There are many key cases like subclassification of scheduled cast and scheduled tribes, the interplay between breach of privilege of legislators and citizens fundamental rights, then the criteria for an educational institution to be tagged as minority run and etc. Many of these cases will be heard by the seven judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India. This is the crux of the news article given here. So in this news article discussion we are going to understand about various types of benches in Supreme Court. Firstly, division bench. See a division bench consists of two or three judges and it is the most common type of bench in the Supreme Court. It hears routine matters and appeal against the decision of high courts. Secondly, full bench. It comprises of up to five judges of Supreme Court. It is constituted in rare cases when a decision on a particular matter is to be taken by larger bench. Thirdly, constitutional bench. It consists of five to seven judges. The constitution bench is formed to hear cases of constitutional importance and to settle important question of law. To put it simply, a bench of two or three judges is called a division bench. A bench of three or five judges is called full bench and a bench of five or more judges is called a constitutional bench. Remember the largest constitutional bench of the Supreme Court comprises of 13 judges which was constituted in Keshwan and the Bharati case. So from this we can understand the importance of constitutional bench of Supreme Court. Now we shall know about this constitutional bench in detail. See article 145 of Constitution says that any case involving a substantial question of law as to interpretation of the constitution must be decided by a bench of at least five judges. So such a bench is called a constitution bench. Constitution bench are not regularly constituted. They are set up only under rare cases like if the case involves a significant question of law and demands interpretation of the constitution or if two or more benches of the Supreme Court have delivered conflicting judgments on the same point of law or if the president seeks a Supreme Court's opinion on a law or fact. So only under these cases a constitutional bench is created. From this we can understand that the constitutional benches are set up on an ad hoc basis and only when the need arises. Also note that a larger bench can overrule the pronouncement of a five-judge constitution bench. That is a seven-judge bench can overrule the decision of five-judge bench. Now we have to remember one thing. All these benches are created with all number of judges. This is to ensure the majority decision gets finalized. These are all some of the important points that you have to remember about constitutional bench of Supreme Court. So with these learned points now let us move on to the next part of the news article discussion which is the preliminary practice question discussion. Now look at this first question. This question was asked in 2021 UPSC problems. Two statements are given and you have to find which statement is correct here. Here the first statement says judicial custody means an accused is in the custody of the concerned magistrate and such accused is locked up in police station not in jail. So from our discussion we know that the first statement is incorrect. Police custody means only police has the physical custody of the accused. While judicial custody means an accused is in the custody of the concerned magistrate meaning he will be locked up in the jail. Now look at the second statement. During judicial custody the police officer in charge of the case is not allowed to interrogate the suspect without the approval of the court. This statement is actually correct. So the correct answer for the question is option B21D. Moving on look at this question about PM divine scheme. Three statements are given and you have to find how many statements given here is or are correct. Look at this first statement. The scheme is being implemented through the North Eastern Council. Now the second statement says it will aim at providing livelihood opportunities to the youth and women of North Eastern region. Now the third statement says the central government is bearing the entire fund of the scheme. All the statements are correct here. So the correct answer for the question is option D1213. Now look at this third question. Three statements are given and you have to find how many statements given here is or are correct. First statement says it is a central sector scheme. No it is incorrect. It is centrally sponsored scheme. Second statement says the crash facility under the scheme is provided at free of cost. No it is not provided at free of cost but it is provided at subsidized price especially for the families below poverty line. So this statement is incorrect. Now the third statement says this scheme subsumes the mission Shakti scheme of Ministry of Women and Child Development. This statement is also incorrect because the scheme is a subset under umbrella scheme of Mission Shakti. So the correct answer here is option D. So with this we came to the end of the news article discussion today. If you like the video hit like, do comment and don't forget to subscribe to Shankar IAS Academy YouTube channel.

Oh, what's up everybody? Once again, it's Brandon, man, Sean and we gots to go over Cole Bennett's rise and some of his come up rules that you can learn from the way he became a success. Now let's hop into it. Now, number one, if you don't know Cole Bennett somehow, then Cole Bennett is the editor, the videographer who's behind the channel Lyrical Lemonade, now at, I believe, like 4.5 million subscribers on YouTube. But he started off as just another kid from the suburbs of Chicago. The interesting thing about how he got started is he said he knew he wanted to make better videos than a lot of other people, but the signature style that he's actually known for really came from the fact that he didn't really have a lot of money. He didn't have a big budget, so to be able to shoot a video on one location was cool. That just meant he had to spend more time on his editing process so he could make the video more unique. And this is how you got that signature style that he's known for, the psychedelic animations and colors that you see in all of his videos. And another interesting thing to note when we really talk about how he started to separate stuff from the pack is a lot of videographers start to keep their videos on their channel. If they do somebody's music video, they put it on their channel. You see that with other brands as well. Cole Bennett definitely said he made that decision early, but not only did having his videos on one channel help him get a little following that way, he went the extra step by actually starting to have shows in Chicago. So this actually extended his influence under this same brand as well. He made Lyrical Lemonade, which was a blog. So now you have three touch points. You have the YouTube channel, you have the blog, and then you have shows and it's even more helpful that he did it under a brand name that he can operate under so he can really start to impact in touch culture. Those three touch points as opposed to just saying, hey I got a blog or hey I got this YouTube page and I'm trying to get people to see created a system of awareness in the same way you might do for an artist except he did it for his brain and himself and I'm sure, you know, bringing in that money as he does videos for people at the same time. Being truly entrepreneurial in the business really set him up for the foundation to rise and have the impact and strong foundation of influence on the game that he has today. So as you start to allow that to call me over time, next thing you know, Cole Bennett's in a position where he's a taste maker, not just a videographer, not just an editor, not just some promoter who has shows here in town every once in a while.  Record labels watch his channel to see who's up next. People watch his channel to see who's up next. And with that in mind, you also consider him having a real touch point within culture by having his shows. So whoever he brings out to his show can be a way of introducing a new artist, but he also is bringing bigger artists to actually have that base in the culture as well. Having multiple touch points on the culture, but doing it where the system is actually playing off of each other can really help you build a strong brand. And now he's in a position if he wanted to start some kind of record label, he could if he wanted to just have one artist and management artist, he could if he wanted to start a shirt clothing brand apparel, which he basically has done already, he can do that, but it's really about setting a system and foundation for your business up. And that's really the key to Cole Bennett's impact. He's not just an editor. He's not just a videographer. He does all these things, but he keeps a close pulse on the culture because he stays within it by doing all his business within and that set him up for this growth. It's not like he grew to 4.5 million overnight, but he did get an accelerated growth after his channel really start catching on and he caught that niche because last year, August of 2017, but he only had like it was less than 400,000 subscribers on YouTube. A year later, August 2018, he has like 4.5 million subscribers that fast growth way faster than he had been growing previously, which was a nice pace in itself at that time.  That's going to help you stay within it and even more so influence it in the long run. I hear a lot of artists talking about, Oh man, I don't want to have to do something else just to be a successful artist. I want to just do music and win that way. Well, if you have a record label and they're doing everything for you, you can just do music and it's all about the music. But the truth is, it's never been just about the music. A lot of times the record label have been doing other things. The music was definitely more weighty back in the day, but there was always more work to do than just the music. But I'm not even gonna get too deep into that. What do you think? What are your thoughts on not only cold Bennett, but this whole thing about artists not wanting to do too much work or feeling like it should be about just the music and they don't want to do those other things?

Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2021 tutorial. This one, I'm going to show you how to create a white flash or an opacity flash transition. They're very, very commonly used. You'll especially see them in dream sequences and stuff like that. Let me show you what I'm talking about first. So I've got a video of a dog here swimming and then I'm going to hit Spacebar and bang, it goes to white, white, and then it fades out. And then we've got another video of a puppy dog sleeping. That's a bulldog. Good looking bully. So there we go. Let me show you how to do that. It'll be very, very quick. I'm going to delete all this stuff. I'll even delete. Yeah, let's just go ahead and start from here. OK, so the first step, as you can imagine, drag and drop in your video. I've got the videos here and then you create a sequence. Now I've got it cut here around a second and a half and then another second and a half of footage at the end there. What you want to do now is you want to go to the new item under the project panel. If you don't see new item, just expand this out until you see the new item option. Left click on that and you're going to want to select color matte. When you do that, it will be automatically the exact same settings as your sequence. So I'm going to left click on OK, and then you get to select the color of the of the matte. Now I'm selecting white in this version. But if you want to do a red or a blue or a green flash, you can go ahead and go nuts on that too. Bottom left corner is white. I'm going to left click on OK.  Why not? OK, good. All right, you'll see now that it is loaded in the project panel. The next step is you want to drag and drop that and you want to drop it onto the second video track. So it's on V2 now. And you'll also notice that I've got it on half on the left side, half on the right side. So that means the white flash is going to go half on the first clip, half on the second clip, you can, of course, adjust that as you see fit. Also, I have it currently set up to be one second long as the transition. You can tell it's one second because it says one oh oh there. That is a very long transition.  I'm going to cut her down. I'm going to cut three frames off on each side.  I'm going to go here.  And this is now a little less than a second. So I guess it's a three quarters of a second, so to speak. So again, this is a long transition, but this is to show you the technique. So the first step go now to the beginning of the transition. I'm holding down the shift key. Just move the play head to the beginning of the transition shift key. The shift key locks it in from there. Make sure you now click on the opacity stopwatch toggle animation on it. And what you want to do is you want to drop it down to zero. So we're on the first frame. That's my dog bark and never mind. Now we dropped it down to zero. Go forward three frames, one, two, three. I clicked on the step forward one frame. Now increase it to 100 percent. So it goes from zero to 100 in three frames. OK, and you'll see that because you'll see the right here. You're going to see the key frame now. I'm going to go forward to the end and I'm going to go back three frames. And at this point, I'm going to click on a just remove key frame. This now creates a key frame here. This one is also at 100 percent. And then I'm going to go to the end of it and I'm going to drop it down to zero. So we've got a long key frame. We've got a flash. It goes to white and then it flashes out. That is how you create it. Again, you can adjust the key frame. So if the white, if you want it to be a little more less white in the middle, you can just go ahead and move these key frames as I'm doing here. And let's see what this looks like. I'm going to go right to the beginning and it goes to white and it flashes out. That's all guys. Thanks for watching. Be back soon with some more tutorials.


One challenge that patients encounter when they get a cancer diagnosis is to have hope that there are treatments that can help them. That's why radiotherapy is so essential for this hope. That together we can do something important to deal with the current cancer crisis in Africa and elsewhere. It is on us to do it, and we will do it.


Meantime, the federal government has been advised to ensure proper reinvestment of monies saved from the removal of fuel subsidy. The call was made by a professor of finance, Babachindia Fulabi, at the Federal University of Iqiti. Professor Fulabi said the removal of fuel subsidy has led to a corresponding increase in the prices of commodities, hence making survival difficult for most families in the country. He advised leaders to promote tourism, develop infrastructure, place a restriction on new loans while developing the agricultural potentials of the nation. The continued payment of subsidy on payments has immediately been a severe drag on our revenue to the tune of three years and nine years. The most integral part of the story is that the subsidy payment did not go less for two weeks, but the whole process was full of controversy and corruption really. The recent talk about subsidy payments by the new administration is the right direction in the right step in the right direction, which will bear good fruits in the long run. Factor that induces external debts are limited for yesterday's results, currency deposition, high debt, debt-saving costs, vulnerability of yesterday's flood patients, limited revenue generation, inadequate infrastructure development, political and economic instability, corruption and governance issues, debt over land, limited debt with property options, and global economic uncertainty.


Welcome back to our lecture series Math 1050, College Algebra for Students at Southern Utah University. As usual, I'll be your professor today, Dr. Andrew Misseldine. In this section, we are in section, well, we're starting section 2.2, which is about linear modeling, which as you mentioned, the word modeling or applications, these are sort of like politically correct terms. So we don't trigger people with words like story problems. Ooh, these are kind of scary things at times, but it is actually a very important part of studying functions. When we first learned about functions at the beginning of this series, I mentioned there was four ways of representing functions. We had numerical representations, often as a table, right? We had geometric representations as a graph, algebraic representations by some formula. And the last one we haven't talked a whole lot about these verbal descriptions. This is what a story problem is all about. We have a relationship between quantities that are described in words, in common language that we use. We'll of course use English in this course, right? And so be able to decipher what is the function relationship given a description is a very important concept. Difficult, don't get me wrong. It's like translating from French to Spanish or something like that. Some people might be able to do it easier than others, but in general, it's still a difficult process. And that translation will be difficult. Your typical story problem is, but I mean, it's very, very much for your life type stuff, right? Your typical story problem will often work in the following way. We will be given a function described to us via some type of story, some written or verbal description. We then need to translate that verbal description into an algebraic representation and then use the tools of algebra to answer the question posed by the problem and then translate it back into some statement about the verbal description. We can't just end with a number and be like, great, the answer's seven. What does that mean? We have to interpret things here. And that is a little bit challenging, but it's very important that we do such a thing. So in this first video about linear modeling, because this is the type of modeling we're gonna start off with, linear functions are the simplest of all type of functions. That way we can focus mostly just on the verbal descriptions and not so much on the algebra itself. One type of use linear functions has is the idea of population modeling. We can model the growth of various quantities, whether those are people or animals or money or other things. We can talk about population models and just means that stuff is growing over time. Again, oftentimes we think of people or other things and linear growth is an acceptable way of modeling. Now, when it comes to actual nature, like you always talk about the spread of infectious diseases or population growth of people in cities or in animals and ecosystems, linear model's not exactly the right model there. We'll see some better models later on. Linear model is appropriate when there are sort of like a restriction, like if you take the student body at SUU, for example, the university actually has control on how many students will we admit each year? And so because of that control, the university could say something like, oh, we're gonna allow an extra 100 students each year come into the school in terms of emissions. And that in that regard, we actually, since we're sort of controlling how many people are coming in, then we actually do get a linear growth. Or another situation, if you're like pumping water into a tank, oh, if we're pumping at a rate of 10 gallons per minute, then that's this constant inflow. And that would be a sort of like a quote unquote population growth for which we would use linear growth. Linear growth happens when there's a constant increase per unit of time. So for example, let's say we have a fictitious town population that's growing linearly. That just means that every unit of time it grows the same amount of relevant of outside factors. In the year 2004, the population of this small town was 6,200. And then in 2009, the population grew to 8,100. Assuming this trend continues, can we predict what the population would be in 2013? So how would we predict this to be? Well, one thing we could do here is we wanna figure out essentially how many people is the town growing per year? That essentially is finding the slope of this thing. If this thing is growing linearly, basically what we're trying to do is we're trying to find a linear function f of x equals mx plus b. The m right here is gonna be the rate of growth. And so we have to make this rise over run. What's the change of population? The change of population with respect to time, right? So it went up to 8,100. It came from 6,200. And this happened over the timeframe 2009 to 2004, which is a five-year span, right? So the denominator here is a five. If you take the difference on top, you get 1,900. So over that five years, the people gained 1,900. And then if you buy 1,900 by five, you get 380. So what we wanna think of here is right here is what is this 380? Our population is increasing, 380 people. Per year. And so it's oftentimes important to start mentioning units when you work with storage bombs. This isn't just some arbitrary number 380. It has a real-life interpretation. The city increased 380 people per year. Keep the units in track there. And as slope is a ratio, it's a rate of change. Your rate of change should have two units, one unit divided by another. This is a rate of people per year. The fact that this is a positive 380 per year means the city is growing. We had a negative 380. That means that the city would actually be decreasing. Maybe there's an exodus out of the city for whatever reason. Now you could then try to figure out like, okay, how much farther from 2009 is 2013, right? So we could very quickly determine that this is four years later, in which case then you're gonna take four times 380 added to the current population, go from there. That's perfectly fine. I do wanna just kinda show you a slightly different approach, which is basically the same thing, but this strategy is gonna be helpful in more general situations. Because after all, when you give it a story problem, your goal as a student is not actually to answer the story problem, right? Do we need you to decide how many people are gonna be in this city in 2013? No, I mean, one, the city is fake. It's not a real city. And even if it is, the city has people to do this type of job. City planners and things like that, right? That's their job. Why are you doing this? The reason you are doing this is not to make the prediction, but to understand this mathematical analysis. How that you can use functions to model data and thus make predictions, make forecast based upon that data. That is a very relevant skill for you that you could use in the future if we know how to do it. So don't focus on finding the answer. Focus on how do you get the answer? That might seem a little bit different, but the goal is not to actually find the prediction. The goal is to understand a strategy that'll give us to that prediction reliably here. And that's where this modeling functions is gonna come into play here.  And your X coordinates do not necessarily have to coincide with the numbers that you're given here. Because we have the years 2004, 2009, 2013, you might think that, oh, I'll just set X to be the current year of X 2004, 2009, 2013. That's perfectly acceptable. But what you can also do is the following. You could then set X equals zero to be 2004. There's no reason you can't start your timeframe there. Which would tell us that 2009 is actually year five with this model. And then we get that 2013 will be year nine in terms of this model. Like if we start graphing the population growth, are we gonna start at year one AD? Or are we gonna probably start it at 2014? So in some essence, our projection starts at 2014. And so that's time zero. That's gonna be our X equals zero right there. Which that does modify our rate of change right here. Our denominator would look like five minus zero. But notice five minus zero is still five, right? When it comes to the slope, the actual location doesn't matter. It's the change that matters. This is a rate of change. And whether the starting value is X equals zero or X equals 2004, that's a difference of five years. So that won't change in the denominator irrelevant of that. The slope is still 380. That does affect of course the X intercept. One of the advantages of setting X equals zero, sorry, it would change the X intercept. I meant to say it would change the Y intercept. One of the advantages of changing X equals zero to be corresponded to 2004 is that the Y intercept would then be that value, 6,200, right? So by convenience, I have the slope intercept form basically immediately. My function F of X equals 380 X plus 6,200 right here. This didn't give me a model for this city's population. For which case then, I wanna look at F of nine. I'll get 380 times nine plus 6,200. In which case, 380 times nine, that is 3,420. We add that to 6,200 and we see that the predicted population will be 9,620. And so it's good to actually explain what's going on here. So we would actually probably say something like the following in the year, in the year 2013, we expect, let me make this a little bit bigger for us. We expect the town's population to be 9,620 people. When it comes to a story problem, it's really best practice to have a story answer. There should be some sentence that explains the context of what that number means. Now, when you work with like a website, like WebAssign or MyMathLab or whatever, they often just have a box that you type in the answer and so it does all this writing for us. And so therefore we forget that we should actually be interpreting what does this number mean and the number is our prediction. We predict to be about 10,000 people in the year 2013. And I should mention that this number right here is probably gonna be wrong, right? I mean, at the time of the recording of this video where seven years past 2013, we could actually check if we had this town data, was this right or not. One doesn't expect the answer to actually be perfect. Modeling is not about being perfectly right. It's about being estimates, right? People complain about the weatherman like, he said the temperature high today was gonna be 79 degrees and it was only 77, right? Sure, sure, off by two degrees Fahrenheit. It's not so significant, right? But if they predicted the temperature's gonna be 79 degrees and then it's like, oh, it turned out to be 47 degrees outside, that's a big difference, right? You might've wanted to wear a coat when you went to school today. So these are supposed to be predictions. They're not exactly right, but they're supposed to be close. And so that's what modeling's all about. Another important question would be, so like we've answered the question, when in 2013, what do we expect the population to be? We expect to be 9,620. But other times we have to answer questions like, when will the population reach 15,000? Maybe 15,000 represents some critical infrastructure point for this town, right? If the population gets bigger, we expect more people will be driving, more water will be used, more trash will be created. How do we compensate for that, right? Well, we might need to figure out, when is it gonna reach 15,000? So how much time do we have to plan how to update the roads or the dump or the water or whatever the infrastructure is? This is a very important question. So if you wanna identify the year in which the population will reach 15,000, we're trying to answer the question. We're trying to solve the equation f of x equals 15,000. We have to solve this equation. But once we have an algebraic formula for f of x, this doesn't become too much of a chore. We take 3,800 times x plus the 6,200. This equals 15,000. We then have to solve this equation. So we're gonna subtract the 6,200 from both sides. This is gonna give us 3,800x is equal to, 15,000 takeaway 6,200, which is gonna be 8,800. Then we need to divide both sides by 3,800. This will cancel over here. We get 3,800. And so then x would turn out to be, that turns out to be, if you wanna be precise, that's gonna be 440 over 19. But I think a decimal approximation is a little bit more fruitful here. You'll get 23.16. So basically this tells us approximately 23, I'm just gonna round to the next year right here. So 23 years later, 23 years later from what from, so 23 years later from our starting point, which was 2004. So then with that estimate in mind, we'd probably say something like the following. So we expect, we predict, again, let's make this text box a little bit bigger. We predict the town's population will reach 15,000 around, let's see 2004 plus 23, that would be 2027. So again, this video was recorded in the year 2020. So our town hasn't reached that point yet. And so we would expect about seven years from now it will reach that critical infrastructure point of 15,000. So our town will have to compensate based upon whatever it needs to do to prepare for that population of 15,000, but it'll happen around the year 2027. And so this is the basic idea of how we do linear modeling. We can use modeling to predict at a certain point in time, what will the population be? But we can also use the linear modeling to predict when in the future will we reach some specific number of interests to us. So this comes down to function evaluation as part A, but also comes down to solving equations, which we did on part B here. And linear models come into play when we expect the growth or decay of the quantity to be constant with respect to time.


Global mean hemoglobin levels have increased slightly since 1995, from 125gL to 126gL in non-pregnant women, from 112gL to 114gL in pregnant women, and from 109gL to 111gL in children. This has resulted in a decrease in anemia prevalence in all three groups, from 33%, 43%, and 47% in 1995 to 29%, 38%, and 43% in 2011 respectively. The greatest improvement has occurred in South Asia and Central and West Africa, where the prevalence of anemia has dropped significantly over the past two decades.
