This 10th year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by you, thanks to every single one of you listening, including Larry Bailey, Michelle Serju, and Ms. Music Teacher. Coming up on DTNS, a way to use existing internet satellites to replace GPS. Amazon wants to sell you shirts from inside VR. And what the heck is spatial audio anyway? Thank goodness Patrick Norton is here to explain. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, May the 9th, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Rebit, I'm Sarah Lane. At the edge of the 314, I'm Patrick Norton. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. If you go far over the edge of the 314, you either get to 618 on one side. What's on the other side though? I don't remember. I'll have to look that up. Yeah, yeah, I don't remember. The abyss. It's probably an abyss, yeah. All right, folks, that's enough about area codes. Let's start with the Quick Hits. Shout out to 707. Apple announced it will bring its Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro apps to iPad OS on May 23rd. Final Cut will require an M1 processor, and Logic will require an A12 bionic or higher, so that'll run on any iPad Apple that currently sells new. Both apps will be available as a subscription. $4.99 per month or $50 per year for each. We'll talk about this a little bit more on the extended show, Good Day Internet, a little bit later. Because who doesn't love a subscription? Microsoft expanded preview access to Microsoft 365 Co-Pilot Assistant. That's the one based on OpenAI's GPT-4 model that helps you do a little coding. They're going from 20 to 600 global customers. Microsoft also rolled out a new semantic index for Co-Pilot, which creates a map of user and company data to improve your search and your responses. Almost everybody who wants a Nintendo Switch appears to already have one. At least that was what the number showed. Nintendo reported that Switch sales fell 22% in its fiscal year to 17.97 million units, although that's in line with its forecast of 18 million. The company also said it didn't see typical growth in sales around the holiday quarter, and also that supply change shortages impacted Switch production until the end of the summer in 2022. And Switch sales are expected to continue to decline. Nintendo expects to sell 15 million Switches this fiscal year. Yeah, so time for a new Nintendo model, maybe? Meta announced an open-source AI research model called ImageBind that combines multiple streams of data. So it's multimodal, text, audio, visual data, temperature, and movement readings. That's an interesting one. All into a single index, which it calls an embedding space. So it's kind of like Dolly or Stable Diffusion or Mid Journey, which all rely on systems that link together text and images during the training stage, and then looks for patterns. Except Meta says ImageBind is the first to use six types of data in a single embedding space. ImageBind comes with an attribution non-commercial share like 4.0 International Creative Commons license. The Financial Times reports that Spotify took down roughly 7% of tracks uploaded by the AI music startup Boomi, affecting tens of thousands of songs. Spotify says that the number of streams was being artificially boosted on these tracks. Didn't say that the action was related to being generated by AI, though. Didn't say it wasn't, but they else. Didn't say it was. So you're saying there's a chance. Leaving that can of worms closed.  Tell us about it, Sarah. All right, so Tuesday Amazon launched Amazon Anywhere, a service that lets developers integrate Amazon shopping into virtual worlds and interactive environments. So basically, you buy physical goods from within an AR or VR or video game experience. The first example of this is a Neantics new AR game called Peridot, not to be confused with the semi-precious gem, Peridot, for iOS and Android. Players who link their Amazon account can buy shirts, pop sockets, and pillows, all with artwork of the creatures from the game. They can also see product details. They can get shipping options and check out purchases, all without leaving the game and the experience. Amazon handles fulfillment and shipping going from there. So this is kind of a new in-game purchase experience, at least as far as I can think of. Nothing like this yet, at least not with Amazon. What do you think, Patrick? Do you love it? I have tremendous difficulties seeing pop socket and not thinking about things that are going directly to landfills and entirely too short a period of time, which I realize is a downer. Well, you could say that about any sort of popular... Okay, but let's say it was a biodegradable pop socket, or better yet, something you want. What do you think of the idea of buying something inside a VR? It's such a... I don't know. I look at this and I think, okay, so shopping built into virtual worlds with the goggles, and I'm going to buy stuff. What was the catalog? I can't think of the name, the one where they would show you the pictures and tell you the story. When I was surfing off the coast of Greece... Jay Peterman? Was that the Jay Peterman? That's the one. It's like the Jay Peterman catalog, but weirder, right? Because it's going to be virtual items that are going to bear little to no result. And I have a couple pieces of clothing I love from the Peterman catalog, but I don't know. Part of me is like, this is exciting. All I need to do is get something that actually looks like me to try clothes on, or I don't know.  Like buying dog food was going to be a radically new experience because it was interneted and then you basically like click two times and dog food showed up at your house. I'm trying to get excited about this, but it's, you know, Amazon, Amazon, another platform. It seems to me the internet did change everything, and I do get excited that I can order dog food so easily. I mean, I don't know. Some people, I will back away from that question because it's a two hour drag on debate about the internet versus Sarah, you were going to say, well, so I was going to say, okay, so you made play Neantics new air game paradox. You might love some of the stuff that's within the game.  Great. Maybe you don't. But I was just less than two weeks ago that we mentioned on the show that Amazon had also partnered with Pinterest. So it's like looking at a Pinterest board, something that is available on Amazon, you click it, you go right to the Amazon page and you go ahead and buy. It sounds to me like Amazon is saying, all right, well, everybody knows what they can get if they go to amazon.com or variety of apps. But what about integrating things that you might eventually buy on Amazon or you might not eventually buy at all because you don't know it's on Amazon and let's incorporate ourselves into these fun experiences and see what we get. No, that's a really good point. The strategy of Amazon seems to increasingly be we're getting about as many people as we can to amazon.com. Let's figure out how to be where they are if we're going to pick up new customers. And so the Pinterest thing is a great example of that. This is a great example of it. And this is only as good as it is welcome.  It's going to be annoying. But I can imagine back when I was playing Warcraft a lot, if this there was something like this in the game that's like, hey, would you like a figure print of Bob X? I'd be excited to be like, oh, yeah, no, let me let me grab that while I'm thinking about it. And another swag and stuff. If it's done right, I think it could be very welcome because a lot of times people like, you know, take my money. I want the stuff for the thing I love. Maybe it's as the father of an 11 year old that has a really intense relationship to Minecraft. The last thing I want is Amazon and they're giving him opportunities to buy, you know, t-shirts and stuff. On the flip side, you know, when you describe it like that, it does sound super compelling. I'm a super man. I want something super cool from my favorite game. But I also just, you know, it's nice that they're doing this. But it seems like there's a lot of opportunities they could have in places outside of the, I just feel like there's just not a huge VR audience. And there's a whole lot of other places they can integrate this in. Well, and this is a mobile game is their first example, I think, which is emblematic of that. VR is sort of like, hey, and also down the road, right? I should be thinking Pokemon Go and it's, yeah. This is their trial before they move to VR. Also remember, I don't know, let's say like 10 years ago at CES, all the companies we're talking about, here's how we're going to add a layer on top of your favorite show.  Clothing, it was a good one. Clothing, yeah, or, you know, a car or whatever, even to like learn more about it. Yeah, I don't know. It would launch the purchasing app and pause the program. Sure, yeah. And I mean, that is not an immersive experience. So I wonder if the AR experience will fare better because even though I understand that advertisers would love to have something beyond product placement that you might see with your naked eye within a show, something like this might actually make more sense. Yeah, if you're like on the train and you're looking at that ad for the, and you're like, man, I really like that shirt and the augmented reality is like, hey, you can buy it right now. Like that's, that could be a compelling situation for salespeople and even for some customers. Yeah. Who gets the 30% from Apple or Amazon? Amazon say, what's that 30% there? That's why they're doing this. That's how you win. I want to give a thanks to KV87 on our subreddit for submitting this press release from the Ohio State University about an algorithm that you can use the signals from multiple low Earth orbit satellites to determine location. So basically it's GPS, but without needing dedicated GPS satellites. The paper about the research was presented at the IEEE ION position location and navigation symposium in Monterey, California. Tom, what, yeah, what, what was going on there? This reminds me of how we were talking earlier this year about using Wi-Fi signals to track people to do motion detection. This is doing it in the world to figure out where you are. So the scientists monitored signals from eight satellites across Starlink, OneWeb, Orbcom and Iridium. So if you're like, wait, I thought I've heard of them doing this before. Others have done it, including folks at the Ohio State University, but they've done it with one type of satellite like Starlink. This was across multiple. So you can use different kinds of signals. They would analyze changes in the signal frequency and the Doppler effect. So that thing that tells you whether a signal is moving away or closer. And then they trained a tracking algorithm and developed a beacon estimation framework. So without having to know what was in the signals, they weren't eavesdropping on what was in the data signals. They were just testing the frequency, testing the Doppler. The algorithm could estimate where the satellites were and then determine where the receiver was. And they were able to locate a stationary receiver in three dimensions within 5.8 meters. Wow.  Like it's not precision stuff, but good enough for customer use. And big advantage to this, right, is you don't need to set it up. There's more of these satellites going up every day to create these situations. You're not interfering with them in any way. You're not violating data privacy.  Because it can go through buildings. It's a wild concept.  Yeah, you could use GPS to find the FYE or the Forever 21 or whatever it is you're looking for in the mall. Thank goodness then. Patrick, I know this reminded you of Loran. Yeah, I was laughing because I was like, it's like the return of the revenge of Loran, which is a navigational tool pretty much up until GPS started getting more common, more affordable back in the 90s. But it had this very simple, very similar idea. I'm a navigation geek and it's always fascinating to figure out better ways to locate yourself on the surface of the planet. I get excited. But yeah, it is really similar. And when I had that thought and typed in, it's also interesting that there's actually any number of organizations working to bring a next generation version of Loran back to navigational systems as an alternative to GPS. So it's something go horrendously wrong with the GPS system or a war breakout and superpowers shut down their satellite access jamming. If I'm understanding this correctly, really, if this is something that we could all take advantage of, well, many people could take advantage of depending on where you are in the world. It's really just a matter of, I don't know, a cool app being able to either let you know or run in the background to make sure that you're connected to something without you needing to think that much harder about it. I'm assuming the receiver could be pretty easy. I wonder if it even could work off of typical modems data from receiving a 5G signal because most of these are 5G signals that are coming out of Starlink. And yeah, then you just need the algorithm running, which if it can run on device, you're golden. Askelly brings up a really good question. It requires up-to-date location information, but that was the genius as I understood it, is that they were using beacon estimation to figure out where the satellites were because unlike GPS, these are flying around the air. They're not necessarily meant to stay in position. So the algorithm was able to figure out where the satellite is to therefore figure out the location if I'm getting that right, which is kind of the key with this. Two One Web, four Starlink, one Iridium, next and one Orbcom were used in the study. So they didn't even have to be from the same satellite system. And like I said, more of these going up all the time, they're going all around the world. So this will be an interesting one to see if it turns into an actual usable product, but I kind of hope it does. If you've got thoughts on this, folks, join the conversation in our Discord.

Yesterday, I was looking around on YouTube and I saw a music video I liked that had been re-uploaded. So it was the same music video, but with spatial audio. Pretty much every new pair of headphones that you look at these days, Sony's new MDR MV1s, Realme's Air 5 Pro earbuds, promise incredible spatial audio. So I get it. It's modern surround sound. It's gonna put the audio in space around me. But haven't we had that since the mid 20th century? Patrick Norton is here to help us understand Patrick. Let's start out with what is spatial audio? Okay, so I'll say this, the stated goal of spatial audio is to be in the room with the music, to envelop you in the music, to be like you are at a show or in the room with the band being created or you're at the event with the concert going on around you. It's a really nice speaker engineer. I got to meet him once. Siegfried Linkwitz. He did a whole paper called The Magic and Two-Channel Sound Reproduction, what we call the Phantom Center Channel. You have a left speaker and a right speaker and it seems like the singer is dead center in front of you. That's the Phantom Center. Wikipedia calls it a psychoacoustic phenomenon when the same sound arrives at both ears at the same time with the same intensity. It appears to originate from a point in the center of the two speakers. So as we start learning about how people hear, it's really cool. This idea, it takes advantage of humans being binaural. We have two ears and the time difference between the sound hitting your left ear and your right ear, your inner ear, the pin eye, some frequency stuff goes in there.  To localize sound, rage, elevation, azimuth, I feel like I'm talking to like Roger talking about it, some sort of targeting system for rockets. If you want to nerd out really hard on this, start with a Wikipedia entry on head-related transfer functions because it's kind of fascinating. It's us hearing and locating sounds in spaces is a really complicated thing. So Atmos takes psychoacoustics and tricking your ears to the next level, way beyond stereo speakers. There's also Sony 360 Reality Audio and DTSX, but Atmos is really the biggest name in the game. Atmos has been around since 2012 and it creates really immersive audio effects in theaters. Part of that is additional speakers above the listener that are firing down, but the really big deal about spatial audio or, you know, I should say not spatial audio, but in this case, Dolby Atmos is that it's based on sound objects. So instead of a train going from the left to the center, to the right speaker as it crosses the screen in front of you, they could put you under a bridge and have the train go over you at an angle. The audio engineer, you know, creates the train sound object and uses an app to move it around the room that a lot of math happens. And you sit in the theater and you hear the train moving above and around you as if you're, say, hiding under a bridge, right? The meteor shower and the opening gravity you've ever seen in that movie, netback, you know, it's all around you and they're moving back and forth and it's utterly terrifying. It's really slick. So is sitting in a concert hall or for some artists crafting songs around these same kind of sound objects. I want the ride symbol to float around the listener's head or the bass drop to change locations on every third bar of music. There's all sorts of things this opens up with how you play around with music.  And I think a lot of people go, oh, that's good. But it depends on what you're looking to experience, right? Oh my goodness. So a thousand years ago when I still had hair and lived in New York City, one of the first products I tested was a 3D sound spacializer. And they're like, it's some music. It's like you're in the music. And I'm like, eh, it just makes the music seem kind of wider. And they're like, no, no, no, it's 3D. I'm like, no, it's really not. You know, spatial audio experiments or products or effects, they've been around for at least a couple of decades, right? Just by my own personal use and it certainly predates me. The thing is like the ease of streaming audio and Apple's dumping a lot of time and treasure into the launch of spatial audio or bringing Dolby Atmos to Apple Music has made it a much bigger deal. For example, Thailand, Amazon music, we're both doing spatial audio before Apple. No, you weren't aware? Nobody? Anybody? Yeah. So, yeah, it's also because Apple, right, is a much bigger company, not that Amazon, but people still don't realize Amazon music exists. And I'm not even going to go down that particular rabbit hole. But blatant foreshadowing here, spatial audio is very, very different if you're using headphones versus using surround sound speakers or a sound bar. One of them is much more impressive than the other. So how's that different from Atmos then? So, you know, so when you look, I found it really frustrating, right? Because Dolby Atmos music, you go to the web page, it's music like never before. There's a lot of breathy language around this stuff. So there's a Marvin Gaye demo. What's going on is a song, Dolby Music, or excuse me Dolby.com slash music. So you play the stereo version, right? And it's they have this little sort of bouncy music graphic and the little bit. It's very small and kind of contained. And then the Atmos version kicks in. You know, there's music and there's music and Dolby Atmos. Is it more spatial? A little bit. What it really is in this particular case is a completely different mix. It isn't thinned out.  You can actually hear James. It goes from like, I can't hear James Jamerson playing bass on one of the most important songs in modern music to, oh, yeah, there's James doing his thing. Oh, and I can finally hear the congas. I can hear the whole track. That's not really spatial audio. That's kind of a sad trick for Dolby. At its best, you can create an environment where you actually feel like you're standing in the middle of the band or like I was saying before, you're in a concert hall feeling all of these, you know, instruments in the concert hall moving around you. You know, Sony 360 reality audio is so immersive. It's real. It plays the same type of games in their demo, albeit with a custom track. It's, you know, this kind of digital track they created with even more visual cues to space in the video. So they're trying to... I'm going to notice this on my speakers, though, or on my headphones. Yeah, I mean, I'm, you know, I'm wearing nice Sony monitor headphones now. You know, these, these, they're great for me. I don't know how music could sound better.  Well, I think the, first of all, the headphones are probably the least part of it. Like if you have a good set of quality headphones, if they've done a good job with this spatial audio mix, they're going to do the best job with it. I was funny because I started playing Apple music back and forth with Spotify, which is not spatial audio. You know, Taylor Swift, Bob Marley's Could You Be Loved, Aha Take On Me, Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice really stood out. The Atmos version sounded like they turned down the bass and Snoop's Vogel sounded recessed, which is the exact opposite of what I want from a Snoop Dogg track. 100%. Yeah. Right. It was really weird. Like Miley Cyrus' lyrics and flowers in the stereo version, it was a very, you know, intimate kind of thing. And again, it sounded more spaced out, sure. But it also sounded like the vocals were recessed and I had lost the sense of intimacy in the track. It's kind of peculiar, right? Because there's also a process. You have to listen to Dolby Atmos on your iPhone or your iPad, you know, you have to go into settings and tap music and choose automatic, always on or off for Dolby Atmos. And then, you know, you don't need necessarily special headphones to do this. I will say it's going to sound a lot better on sort of external speakers, whether it's a surround sound system or some type of like a home pod, right? It uses five tweeters and a four inch woofer. So it's blasting sounds in all directions around you. The Sonos' new Era 300 is a big bet on spatial audio. And again, left center, right channels, and then up firing tweeters along with a pair of woofers, the much more affordable Amazon Echo Studio. It's got a front facing 30 millimeter tweeters, three two inch mids and a 5.3 inch woofer. So I think for a lot of people it's going to be much more impressive in a home theater or out of a dedicated speaker like that than it will be out of a set of headphones. Headphones, you can tweak a mix so it sounds bigger or wider or not so much in your head on headphones. But generally speaking, if there's a driver here and a driver there, one for your left and right ears, they really aren't going to put sound above you or below you or behind you. So, you know, if you get external hardware that takes advantage of the room with the space around you, I think it gets much more interesting. Well, all the spatial audio talk has made me hungry. Tom, you might like this next story then. US burger joint Wendy's, if you're not familiar with Wendy's home of the square burger patty, announced that starting in June, it will automate its drive through service, at least at one location at one of its restaurants in Columbus, Ohio. It's very near its headquarters. Using a chatbot powered by Google that's trained to understand what people say when they order. Wendy says the goal is to make ordering easier and faster and also that it's been working with Google in areas like data analytics and machine learning and cloud tools since back in 2021. Does anybody have any issues? We're going through the drive through and talking to a chatbot. If the chatbot is well trained on what you might want. If you don't know it's a chatbot, you won't have an issue, which is I think why none of these stories tell you which Wendy's in Columbus it is because they don't want you to know. They want to see if this is going to pass off. That's right. Because it's got very sophisticated listening, large language model listening. It can hear over your kids screaming in the music. It's supposed to be able to tell when you go like, give me a milkshake. Wait, no, I actually don't want a milkshake. I want to dye a Coke. It's supposed to be able to keep track of that stuff. It knows when you say milkshake, you mean frosty. They say it'll work. It'll sound like a person and you'll never know it's a chatbot. Very curious how good this thing can be. These language models are good enough that it's plausible at least. I always laugh because I think everybody's had that experience where there was a busted speaker or a busted microphone at a drive through. Presumably, they're going to do some pretty serious upgrades to the microphones. Certainly the speaker better work. When you think about what's going on at a lot of drive throughs, I don't know how it is where you guys are right now, but around here, there's one particular restaurant chain. They make fried chicken. They have biscuits I love. I've given up on them within a 25-mile circle of St. Louis because they don't hire enough people. They can't retain people. You can't get in and out less than two or three days. If putting chat GPT in there means they can have two people actually paying attention to the cooking, I would be curious to see if it works. That is a good point. They did make a point of saying, we're not replacing people with this. What we're doing is taking the people who would normally operate this and putting them on cooking your food and delivering the food to you at the window. I'll be curious. They want to speed up. Chatbots on typing, which is, I think, much simpler than listening to spoken words, are all over the map. It ranges from, wow, this is pretty impressive. What's called Turing to, no, I don't want a purple delete expletive. I want a, it's amazing when they go wrong. Those are trained on everything. This has the advantage of being only trained. You're not going to be able to talk to it about global thermonuclear war. It's just Wendy's stuff. What is the square root of? That's where I think these large language models are shining when you limit what they need to do. This is a very nicely limited set. I can't remember the last time I went through a drive-thru. I don't know. It wasn't that long ago. I probably wanted some chicken McNuggets, but I've always gotten the impression where sometimes you do get somebody across the speaker where you're like, you know, I think they're having a kind of fun time handling the drive-thru section of this restaurant right now. More often, you kind of go, they're busy. They're just trying to take the order, but they're at work. The large language model vary between a happy drive-thru and bored drive-thru worker.  But yeah, it's like if the employees who are working there anyway can be, you know, taken off the stuff that they don't really like doing, for example, interacting with a customer over speaker, still got to see somebody over at the counter, you know, the window when you actually drive up. Although who knows what that's going to look like in another few years. But yeah, this would not bother me.  As long as I got my order. Yeah, that's all I care about too. All right, let's check out the mailbag. Let's do it. This one comes in from Josh Grisdale, who wrote in with his experience of getting attention from the media. Josh runs a site on accessibility in Japan and in advance of the Olympics and Paralympics, after his first interview, he said he was flooded with interview requests from other outlets who saw the first one. Josh wrote, as someone who feels they need that feels they have a message about an issue, you have a hard time saying no. I felt the message was more important than myself. And if someone is interested in listening and passing it on to a larger audience, I need to say yes. Maybe if I say no, I'll have passed on the opportunity to make life easier for a future traveler with a disability. Now you might say, well, is this referencing something that we talked about recently? Yeah, actually Josh is wondering if father of AI, Jeffrey Hinton, who has since said he's concerned about the future of the technology is showing up in the news so much for the same reason. As Josh puts it, it's a topic that he is an expert in and he has an opinion on and feels it's something bigger than him. So it needs to be said even when he's tired of all those interviews. Yeah, that makes sense. That's a good possibility of why he's taking so many of these interviews is that same feeling of, I feel it's important to get the word out there. Maybe it is altruistic like that. Also regarding the imager apocalypse, Sean from New Zealand wrote in, rest in peace to my imager gift of Tom slowly turning his head towards the camera, imitating stock footage of a wolf. I asked him, I was like, you know, if it's active on imager, they won't get rid of it. Do you have the link? And that's when he's like, yeah, I can't find the link anywhere. So if anyone has the imager link of me slowly turning my head toward the camera like a wolf, please let me and Sean know so we can keep that from being deleted. Thank you in advance. Also, thanks to Patrick Norton for being with us talking about spatial audio and all the things. Let folks know where they can keep up with all that you do.

So, Jeff, is there a connection here between the conversation that we're having at this point in our history about abortion and the conversation we're also having about gun violence? Have we lost the plot as a society in terms of what it means to be pro-life? I think we have. I think, obviously, there's a sickness in the culture. There's no question about that. There's a lot of parallels here with abortion laws because we talk about toning down the rhetoric. I think the way to tone down the rhetoric is to get over this idea that there needs to be one uniform set of laws on abortion or guns or all kinds of social issues for all 50 states for 330 million people, some of them who live in very sparsely populated rural areas, some of them who live in dense cities. I think federalization and centralization, I think putting these things under the auspices that Supreme Court's been a disaster.  I don't get how he runs in Texas. But the fact is, is that there's plenty of people, especially with Austin booming, there's plenty of people in Texas who probably agree with him. We need to find a way to ring fence this stuff. And I really think this reading of, especially the Bill of Rights under the incorporation document that they all apply to states. I think that's really been disastrous for federalism in this country. I mean, obviously, this is a multifaceted thing. We've got sick kids, we've got the COVID lockdowns, we've got psychological issues. I mean, this is a very, very, very difficult issue. But we also have, you know, if I can add on top that, we also have a homeless crisis plaguing major cities in this country. And we also have no problem throwing adults away. It's not just kids. It's not just boys. It's not just unborn babies. It's across the board and we need to address those things honestly, because there's a correlation with all of it. You guys, I really appreciate you tackling all of this, being respectful and thoughtful. Ned, Kevin and Jeff, thank you all so much.


Hi, I'm Brian May with Cal OES. We are in Santa Barbara County, specifically the Kachuma Lake Recreation Area, and behind me you see a group of about 50 or 60 that are camping here this weekend. But this weekend is about much more than just campfires and s'mores. Welcome to the first ever instructor retreat for Leastos. Leastos, Spanish for Ready, is a grassroots disaster preparedness program. It's tailored to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking communities. We don't talk about any terminology that's too overwhelming or acronyms or us in the preparedness world tend to be very, I want to say like almost complicated with all this terminology and information where the community, really the message you want to relay is get prepared at home, have a plan, stay informed, right? That's what we want and that's what Leastos is about. The whole way Leastos is presented is tailored for the Latino community, including the fact you will almost always see food. Lots of great food at Leastos gatherings. It is part of the hook. When we're having a meal, it's after the meal that you have these awesome conversations right? Getting there and everybody's kind of full and happy and starts sharing. You will also always see children at Leastos meetings. Families are embraced and a huge reason why many get involved. I'm really proud of my dad and my mom. My dad started the program and when I found out he was getting involved with the community, I felt proud. I know I have friends and their parents are scared like I said before, but by him taking that initiative, he sets an example for me and my sister to not be afraid to take the first step. Since its inception 10 years ago, roughly 35,000 people have gone through the Leastos programs across California, each one attending sessions like this one. No power points, no equipment needed, just basic but thorough safety and preparedness information. Let's be real, at home they're really not going to put on their rescue hats and really be very thorough in their search and rescue patterns and none of that. It's at home. How are you going to take care of your family at home? What are you going to do if you're without water for 10 days or electricity? How is that going to look like? It's that really planning at a family level. That's what we want to focus on. We need to get educated in these issues. We ignore how much help there is in the community. But someone came and told me there's these classes that are completely free, you should go and check them out. So I did. But wow, I'm blown away by everything that I'm learning, which is very basic. But I think it can definitely help me create a plan for my immediate family. I thought that I have to have a lot of money to buy an emergency kit, but it's not true.  It's been a whirlwind, kind of 10 years, I just can't believe it's been 10 years. Back at the instructor retreat at Kachuma Lake, Barbara Anderson reflects on how much Listos has grown. She's been involved since day one.  We were able to have that relationship and that trust to say that might be what you've been told, but it's not the right thing to do. This is the right thing to do. Moving forward, the goal for Listos for the next 10 years is to look much like the past 10 years, more growth, more empowerment by those going through it. It requires collaboration. It requires partnerships and it requires funding, right, and that's a huge component to it because we wouldn't be able to do all of this. So we got a fantastic partnership with the California Office of Emergency Services and California Volunteers. We have tremendously hardworking, passionate people. It's going to make me cry now because we just had someone in tears saying, I do this because I'm helping people and I'm helping people like me. And for us, it's, that's what it's all about. If you'd like more information on the Listos program in California, you can go to CFA as in California for all, cfalistos.org. We've also got it on our website at oesnews.com. For all of us at Cal OES, I'm Brian May. Thanks for watching.

How can you keep your cool when you're faced with a situation that makes you feel like you're going to explode? We're going to explore some ideas for that in today's podcast, so keep listening and we'll dive straight in. Okay, so one of the things that I often talk about in my work is the need for us to be a calm adult. So when we're faced with a child who is anxious, angry or otherwise distressed, one of the most helpful things that we can be is calm. That's fantastic, but what about when we feel like we're going to lose it? When the things that we're seeing in them challenges us internally somehow too, or we've got other stuff going on and we're just finding it really, really, really hard to be that cool, calm, collected adult that this child needs right now. How do we be the adult they need in those moments? So we're going to explore a few ideas today for just keeping calm when you don't feel calm at all. So number one, the old favorite, slow, low, low. This is adapting how we speak, how the sound of our speech is, in order to make us sound and seem and start to feel calmer. We slow down the pace of our speech, we lower the volume, we lower the pitch, so we speak a little bit more deeply. This is because when we are anxious or angry, we tend to speak fast and loud and shrill, and we're trying to do the opposite of that. Imagine your favorite bedtime story being read to you really calmly and slowly, with a nice, deep voice as you speak. When we speak in this way, it tends to really calm things down, both for the child and also for us. So you can consciously step into that slow, low, low mode of speaking. You can say pretty much anything, but when you say it in that slow, low, low voice, it's really reassuring and calming for everybody. And when you speak like that for a while, it will help you to calm as well. It's kind of a fake it till you make it, tricking your body into responding in a calmer way, sort of a thing. Surprisingly effective. I do it all the time. Next is reminding yourself that you've got this. So a little bit of positive self-talk, to be quite honest. I will sometimes find this, if I'm entering a situation that I know I'm going to find challenging, perhaps my kids are arguing, and all I want to do is shout at them. Pretty confident that's not actually going to help. And so I'll just seal myself and be like, come on, you've got this. And that reminder, as you're entering into a situation that you feel that you might find stressful, that reminder that you can do this, you've done it before, you can do it again, keep your cool. Whatever it is you feel you need to hear, and it can be helpful just to take a moment to reflect on what are the words that you need to hear in those situations. So you can tell them to yourself when you need to hear them.  And you know what you need to hear. So tell yourself you've got this, or whatever it is you need to hear right now. Remind yourself, build yourself up. It can make a difference. Number three is really simply just take a breath. So when the situation feels overwhelming, when we begin to feel our feelings, get to the point where they might erupt and get messy, just noticing that, checking in with ourselves, taking a big breath. I will often turn away from the situation if I can do so without kind of triggering other feelings from other people. Look at a blank wall, close my eyes. Just remove myself for a moment from the sensory overwhelm of the situation. You may or may not need to do that. I think that's because I'm autistic and overwhelmed by everything, but turn away from the situation or close my eyes and take a really deep centering breath. Much like you might do if you're someone who doesn't love public speaking, and I know lots of you don't, if you were going to go and step on stage and you were going to be faced by hundreds of people in the audience, as you were doing that, you might just, as you approach the stage, just take a moment and take a really deep centering breath. And you might say to yourself, right, so it's taking that breath. And a big deep breath like that, and just a moment's pause, rather than barreling straight in, can make all the difference to our ability to respond in the way that we'd like to, rather than the way that our feelings are trying to overtake us into responding. You can build on that with idea number four, which is about using an actual breathing strategy. So today I was thinking about the five in seven out breathing strategy, but you can use whichever you prefer. So the five in seven out breathing strategy is where we breathe in for the count of five, and then we breathe out for the count of seven.  Actually, right now what we care about is it works. So we're taking a nice deep breath in for the count of five, and then we're breathing out, we're exhaling until we're really, really, really empty. So for the count of seven. But any breathing exercise where you're checking in with your breath, you're just taking control for a moment. This sends really strong messages through your body and your brain that it's okay, I've got this, I'm in control. Taking control of your breathing is one of the most powerful things you can do and a great way to stop that big red panic button in your head being hit and you losing control of the situation. Take control of your breathing to keep control of the situation. Number five is about building a bubble. So just sometimes when we are working with somebody, they're going to trigger tricky stuff in us, whether that is a child or an adult. And it can begin to feel really personal. And when things begin to feel really personal, we sure as hell are going to respond in quite a personal, emotional way. And it's not likely to get the outcome that we want, and we want to try if we can to keep things calm to take the high road here to be calm and in control of the situation so we can have a reason discussion or so we can bookmark it and have a reason discussion later. But that can be hard if it's gotten kind of personal. So what we can do here is build a bubble. And I literally do this sometimes, I can imagine a force field around me and allow those unpleasant words, thoughts, feelings that are being directed our way to just bounce off and remind ourselves that those things that are being thrown at us, sometimes literally, they're not really about us. This is about what's happened to the person who's doing the hurting. Hurt people hurt people is always a really important thing to remember. And sometimes the people who need us the most, who love us the most, who are most keen to test whether we're going to continue to be there for them when they need us are the ones who will do and say the things that seem the most hurtful of all. So we need to, if we can, try and build that force field. And there are other times when we want to let that down and we want to be vulnerable and we want to allow that relationship to develop. But when there's a lot of hurt being hurled your way, actually imagining that force field reminding ourselves this is about them. It's not about me and trying to allow that to somewhat sort of bounce off and stay in our bubble and try to stay calm and not latch onto those things that are being said or done to us. That's really difficult to master, but if you can, it makes a fundamental difference to your ability to deal with really challenging situations. And then finally, the final idea is just thinking about our body language. So when we are in a situation where we're beginning to feel anxious, angry or otherwise whelmed, overwhelmed, then our body language will tend to reflect that. So in the same way that our voice will get kind of loud and shrill and fast, our body language will tend to get quite sort of defensive or offensive where we're kind of almost ready for the fight. And you can begin to feel this happen in your body. Your muscles will tense. You might find that your hands are clenched and that perhaps your arms are crossed and your jaw is set. And there's all sorts going on that's basically like, yeah, come on, I'm ready for a fight. And that's not really what we want right now. What we want is open, calm, loving, caring, nurturing body language because that's what the child or the adult that you're supporting right now probably really needs. And again, we can hack this a little bit by consciously thinking about how we're holding ourselves, what our body language is like and changing that from what has come naturally, which might be our fight, flight type responses and kind of overriding that with what we would like which will be our open body language so sort of palms up, arms uncrossed consciously thinking about relaxing our muscles and trying to have a more open, soft posture. And when we do that, when we think consciously about the way that we're holding our body and we change that body language, that changes how it feels not only for the person with whom we're interacting who will see a very different you in front of them but it also begins to change how things feel for us because we're overriding the response that our body was trying to give and going, no, no, it's okay, I've got this, I'm calm, I'm in control.  So when we do this, when we think about our breathing we think about our body, we think about what we're saying and we consciously try to do what we would do if we were calm quite soon often our body and our brain will catch up with that idea and we will begin to feel more calm. When you're just thinking about it, just listening to be blabbering on a podcast it probably seems really unlikely but honestly, try it. Have a think, plan ahead for what you would do next time you began to feel like you were going to lose it in this type of situation have a little plan for yourself, maybe even write it down and just experiment with it and see if it makes a difference. Okay, I'm going to try and take control of what my voice sounds like. Okay, I'm going to try and think about my breathing a bit more and try to regulate that and take control of it and I'm going to try and change what my body language looks like and feels like and then I'll see how that impacts on the situation whether it actually makes any difference and maybe I'm wrong, maybe it won't for you but for many people it really does. As with all things, this stuff takes practice and the more that you do it, the more able you will be to do it. So have a think, have a go and see if it works for you. I really, really hope that it does. I hope these ideas were helpful. If you would like to support my work, the best way you can do it is by sharing it so let other people know about my podcast or my other resources on your social media on emails by word of mouth. You can join me on Patreon for a pound a month to support my work in that little community there or you can invite me to speak at your next event where I would love to come join you and learn with you and your colleagues. But for now, until next time, over and out.


Descent record. Type file found within SCP-871's physical documentation. Author unknown. What's your favorite dessert? It's alright if you don't know. The foundation offers you a lot of choices. One of the nice things about working here is how well our needs are met. Hell, might as well stop saying we work here. It's a lot more than that. It's a community. A lifestyle. We're the folks behind the curtain making sure the trains run on time and that time can run the trains. Easy taking pride in the work we do here. Getting back on the topic of desserts. We've got a few notoriously dangerous snacks. Chief among them would be our friends, the cakes. I'm sure you're familiar. We don't fill our bellies, then all the other space will become cake. Maybe you've worked on it and know the lingo. Dumpling-class personnel waddling into a top-secret mission. That's another one of the funny things that happens when you've got full buy-in to the foundation's way of doing things. Dehumanizing outsiders becomes second nature. Quick question. Do you think we serve the greater good of humanity or normalcy? Trick question. Same thing. Warren G. Harding popularized the phrase return to normalcy as a political slogan. One of those things where it sounds nice to the ear without actually meaning a thing. If you ever really dig into this file, the cake supposedly just popped into existence one day and then just kept happening. That's awful convenient. A lot of faith to put in the foundation to keep it under wraps. A death wish? No. Those pastries are not as they seem. The Ketter cakes have a unique property. They increase in correlation to the hunger of humanity. Which is absurd, right? Isn't it a little inconvenient to have exponentially increasing cakes that slowly, inefficiently crawl their way towards wherever the hungry and dying lay in the streets? Hunger isn't solved that way. You might even be one of the sharp cookies out there who knows that hunger is a distribution problem and not a supply-side issue. Ever since Fritz Haber gave us that good fertilizer, we've had no problem keeping production on par with the amount of hungry mouths. So isn't it just as ridiculous that there's still grief and death from empty bellies? If you've ever seen the pictures from Syria, Yemen, Congo, the Holocaust, Holodomor, and a million other things, then you've got a taste of how horrible hunger is. There's many different actors to blame. It's always the fault of humanity. We choose to feed some and let others starve. That's normalcy. What sort of normalcy are we preserving? The Foundation has incidentally replicating food and the infrastructure to instantly transport it any place where a child's belly is dry and shrinking while their limbs waste into thin rods in their faces age 100 years. It's normal for us to grind the bones of the dead into bread so that we may live to see more die another day. There's no proof to what I know the cakes do. Does it matter? We have the resources, means, and opportunity to preserve a normalcy where everyone can eat enough to live. What sort of protection are we offering a world where the population of a small town in Ohio shrivels every day because the abundant food resources available to everyone else didn't get to them in time? We will make a dessert and call it peace.

It's just the veteran commons Like Julius peppers and Dwight Freni that won't ship Jamal Adams, of course will ship Hall of Fame insert Dan Marino will ship. I think the only vet commons that do ship are Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes They're standing orders for that. I'm pretty sure and then Rookie parallels will sleeve up right away. Those will be top-loaded later by our shipping team I silver Henry rugs for the AFC West mark with that one the speedster and their CD lamb as well for the NFC East Kid recorder recorder card on the back there I Jalen hurts The NFC East yeah for some yeah, Tony's saying for some reason the Rams Just win a bitch beat the Saints or beat the Seahawks for some reason.

Hopefully they keep it up. There's Jacob Eason Green for the AFC South Jason F Another NFL debut Jacob Eason All right, we'll rip another five boxes here Hall of Famer Paul Horning passes away at 84 rounds reopen facility after a positive test Anyone been watching the Masters to see Bryson D. Shambow Who I feel like everybody was talking about going into the Masters About how much I mean he does I'm surprised on it. How big he looks he he looks a lot bigger. He's packed on some muscle He's been hitting these monster drives But uh But that that course is kind of kind of humbling him a little bit And he but he but he kind of got He gets screwed. I don't know he hit a shot into the rough and the ball just disappeared I don't think I don't watch a whole lot of golf, but I feel like I've watched enough golf in my lifetime I don't think I've ever seen anything like that happen with all those TV cameras out there You know they they had like five or six people like wandering around in that area looking for that golf ball I was crazy they couldn't find it Whatever the lost ball rule is gonna be in this. I think that's one of the impacts of no fans being at golfing events usually they're probably be I Don't know at that particular hole, but I would assume at that particular hole there would be Fans along that area may I mean maybe if they're if they were there would have been someone who'd been like there It is landed right there So that's that's one of the little Disadvantage of not having the fans there or one of the many disadvantages, I guess People are saying the energy level at the golf At the golf course It's a little weird to box here not to Jared got on the top right here and be a free agency is gonna be wild There's talks about Westbrook being moved around Paul George being moved around It's gonna be wild. Oh and our autograph, which are kind of rare in these blaster boxes It's gonna be Bill Bates scripts autograph for the Cowboys NFC East Anthony with the NFC East There's a flea flicker for the Cardinals and a green to a tango Viola Miami AFC East another one for a Chris Erickson this time a parallel. It's Tom Brady right there Another flea flicker triple player card Yeah, Chris Paul looking like the Suns are going after Chris Paul and then Paul George may be on the move There's our first Justin Herbert AFC West that's gonna go to mark Chris Paul on Phoenix that could be really interesting This Jalen Hurts green to the NFC East I mean Chris Paul definitely raised his stock by by taking The okc thunder as far as he did A team that people didn't think would go as far as they did so maybe they're thinking Hey Maybe Chris Paul can do that with our young team here in Phoenix. There's Joe Burrow our first Joe Burrow NFC North Catherine The FC North But yeah, I don't know what I don't know what they're gonna do You would think that that they're they're not gonna move Devin Booker, right? The Suns would have to move pieces and pieces and picks There's Anthony McFarland, Jr. Green. It's gonna be pretty interesting to see How Phoenix is gonna pull that off No, I don't think then I don't think Devin Booker is going anywhere, right? Although Lakers could use a Devin Booker Yeah, but the rumors are all over the place. I mean, I'm hearing that the Knicks The Knicks might be interested in Westbrook. All the Depot wants out of of Indianapolis You know and he's got like a list of three teams that he wants to go to but I mean I don't know how much leverage he has when you demand a trade like that. I think you just just go where they send you but You know so that so there's There's that issue happening here. I think I heard on sports hockey radio in LA the LA that uh That DeMar DeRosan might be a good third option for the Lakers behind Anthony Davis and and And In LeBron But I don't know if the Spurs and Popovich are gonna do the Lakers any favors They're not gonna send DeMar DeRosan to the Lakers, right? Unless the Lakers just get fleeced in a trade or willing to be fleeced in a trade There's DuVernay for the AFC North Catherine NFL debut Jalen Régor For the Fly Eagles Fly NFC East Anthony, but we're in some pretty interesting exciting sports times We've got the NBA draft coming up next week, and we're right smack in the middle of the NFL season Should be should be a lot of fun Apparently linebacker KJ Wright and defensive end Benson Mayowa are among the seven Seahawks listed as questionable of Sunday's game against the Rams Pete Carroll said Wright looked very good in practice center Ethan Pochich Ruled out and Kyle Fuller will make his first start at center on Sunday for the Seahawks This Rams are a little banged up too Seahawks are gonna be without starting cornerbacks to kill Griffin Quentin Dunbar Could be a lot of could be a lot of points in that game Harden and Westbrook expressing concerns about direction of the Rockets. If I'm the Rockets, I'd be tempted to just blow it up, right?  They made trades Not like they were just idle so Maybe maybe fans will be understanding of that. It's like hey, we gave it a shot now. It's time to rebuild Let's move some of these big contracts. Let's get some draft picks You know, maybe suffer through a rough season or two Go from there kind of terrible Did I do yeah?

I'm looking at my Raiders now that they're five and three at this point this season I'm looking back at their losses They lost to the at Patriots. They allow now seeing how Poorly the Patriots have played in recent in recent games I'm thinking maybe the Raiders should have been should have had six wins right now Maybe they should have been six and two The bills. Yeah, the bills just wasn't a good game. They lost to the Buccaneers, too I don't think they really got out of the gates in that Buccaneers game, but But now I'm looking back thinking they should have probably beat the Patriots Could have been six and two.
