Climate warming is expected to cause alpine tree liens to advance upwards towards higher altitudes. However, empirical studies have shown mixed results, with some areas showing no significant changes while others exhibiting more advanced tree liens. These differences suggest that different regions may respond differently to climate change. It is still unclear whether or not Himalayan tree liens will shift upwards along the same gradient of response seen in other mountain ranges. This article is authored by Ushikov, M. Babrowski, J. Bonner, and others.


When you're buying a property that is under construction, you can do it everything from abroad, no need to come here. When you transfer the money, you're not transferring it to the developer, you're not transferring it to the brokers, you transfer it to the specific bank account. Whatever guys you can see around wasn't here 20 years ago. Hey guys, welcome to my channel. Today I have a guest, my husband Denis, he's a real estate agent and in this video we're gonna talk about how to buy an apartment in Dubai. Please can you tell us what are the main things people need to know if they want to buy property in Dubai? Okay, well first of all people need to know that here in Dubai we have two types of areas where people can buy a property. One of them is called freehold, another one is leasehold. If you are a foreigner you can own a property only in the freehold areas and if you are considering a leasehold there you can buy a right to use the property basically a lease for a long period of time like 99 years. As usual whatever you can see online that for sale it's a freehold property and especially new developments and basically developers as well are building mainly in the freehold but just keep it in mind that if you buy a property and you are the foreigner you need to focus on the freehold areas. This is one of the important things that people need to know. Another thing is that when you are purchasing the property in Dubai like if it's a freehold you become a proper owner and even like your kids can inherit the property because there are some things related to the Muslim countries where there is a specific law for the inheritance. Here it doesn't really apply so if you buy the property you are a proper owner and then your kids can inherit it. So this is like some basic basic things about the properties. And what is the difference between radio property and off-plan property? Okay in Dubai as Dubai is a young city whatever guys you can see around wasn't here 20 years ago developers are keep on building here new projects because it's a young city as I said. So as a buyer you can choose between the radio property or you can buy a property that is still under construction. So what are the main differences there? So when you're buying a property that is still under construction first of all you don't have to put all the money up front because there are payment plans and you need to follow the installments. In some cases even the developer can give you the keys before you even finish all payments. So there is a post-hand over payment plan. So let's say you pay it 50% you can get the keys and you have three years to cover another 50% and right now it's a very very popular payment plan. And obviously when you are buying from the developer you have more option to choose from rather than on the resale market because like okay there is a person who wants to sell his property but this is a three bedroom apartment on the seventh floor so like you want to buy three bedroom apartment on the higher floor lower floor so from developers usually it's easier. The advantage of the resale market is that there especially with the current situation there are some sellers who urgently needs money and they might sell it like below the market price so this is an advantage of the resale market. When you're buying a property that is under construction you can do it everything from abroad no need to come here and like 90% of transactions right now are happening this way so you don't have to be here because here we have all the structure all the laws and regulations that protects interest of the investor who is buying from abroad and on secondary market you need to come here and it usually takes around one month months and a half to complete the transaction because these are some of the main differences. What is the document required to buy property in Dubai? It's very very simple you need to have your passport copy and you have the you need to have money basically that's it when it comes to the off-plan purchase when you buy directly from the developer as I said you can do it everything from abroad so we just need your passport copy that's it from the documents obviously we need your email we need your address you need your phone number and the developer will prepare the reservation agreement he will send it to the to the client and like everything is very very simple yeah oh it's so simple for the secondary market it's pretty much the same if it's a cash purchase you just need to have your passport copy and the money for the mortgage you need to have a pre-approval from the bank before you start looking for for the properties and then again it's a passport copy and some documents from the bank the process is very simple and one more thing that I can highlight when it comes to the off-plan projects is that when you transfer the money you're not transferring it to the developer you're not transferring it to the to the brokers you transfer it to the specific bank account that is called like escrow account and when you transfer this money to this bank account the developer can just take it and use it for whatever reason he wants this bank account is regulated by the government the developer can use this money only towards the payment for the construction of of the property and the small part of it goes for the marketing what are the most popular areas today where people buy properties in Dubai it's usually like the most popular areas are areas that have access to the to the water like waterfront properties so we're talking about Dubai marina palm jumeirah specifically in this year we have very high demand for the townhouses so Dubai hills there the prices increased significantly during this year overall the most popular area was and still remains Dubai marina what are the starting prices to buy property today if it's a waterfront project a new development it will be around like 320 000 dollars it's for the one bedroom apartment in in the areas that are not next to the water you can get the one bedroom for around 200 000 dollars and the studio starts from 120 000 dollars and again you have a payment plan so you don't have to put all the money up front what people should know to avoid scammers in Dubai when they buy property whenever it comes to the like big amounts of money there are always some kind of risk involved but if the buyer is working with like a proper advisor there is no chance that he'll end up in some kind of scam people need to keep in mind that whenever they're buying a property on the off plan market they should always pay their money only towards the escrow account this is very very important how you can check if it's an escrow account or not there are like websites of the pilot department where you can search for the project and see if there is an escrow account or not even if somebody is saying you this is an escrow account this is an escrow go and check the escrow account should have as well the name of the project so if there is a abc tower where you want to buy there should be abc tower trust account or escrow account written on the on the bank account this is very very important i had a case with my client who bought the property he transferred the money to the escrow account there were some issues with the project he got his money back it took some time but he got his money back so if you're buying an off plan please transfer the money only towards the escrow account don't transfer it to the developer account because you expose yourself to the risk for the resale don't give any checks to the seller before the transfer you can give it to the broker if it's a licensed broker they can give the check with them but don't give any money to the seller before the transfer is before the transfer because there are cases when somebody is saying oh give me like 10 percent now and later on we will meet and you will make and we will complete the transfer they cash the check and they can disappear so this is an important thing and the most important thing is like try to find a good advisor with whom you can sit and discuss all these things and who can assist you with like your research and can highlight some of the projects that might suit you okay Deniz thank you very much for this information guys i will leave the link to his contact details in the description under this video if you have any questions you can always reach out to him and thank you for watching i will see you in the next video bye bye


This year's UN climate negotiations known as COP 27 will begin in a few days in Egypt. Now decisions and commitments made there will have tremendous impacts on Indigenous people and local communities who are guardians of a large portion of our biodiversity. So join me and Indigenous leaders on December 1st as we discuss the outcome of this year's COP and what is happening to the $1.7 billion pledged at last year's meeting.


Fasting is put to the test for a number of diseases. Does it help? Watch the video to find out and check out the doctor's note below for other videos on the topic. Alan Goldhammer is the founder of the True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, California, which has fasted 10,000 people for conditions ranging from diabetes and cardiovascular disease to autoimmune diseases. He noted that conditions that seem to be tied to dietary excess tend to respond predictably to the use of fasting, followed by a health-promoting diet, which he describes as a low salt, all-plant, high fiber, low fat, low protein, and low sugar diet. This approach offers people an option to eliminate the cause of lifestyle diseases, often to the point where the medication is no longer needed, in contrast to conventional medicine, which is more about the suppression of the symptoms associated with the disease rather than removing the underlying root cause.   Preliminary data suggests fasting may benefit metabolic diseases, pain syndromes, high blood pressure, chronic inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, and psychosomatic disorders. But the highest level of evidence we have for the benefits of fasting are in regards to rheumatic diseases, autoimmune inflammatory joint diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. Nearly a century ago, it was written that diet treatment is not generally recognized by the medical profession as one of the weapons with which to attack such diseases. This attitude persisted until relatively recently, but a systematic review of controlled trials has since shown a statistically and clinically significant beneficial long-term effect. Rheumatoid arthritis is a well-known genetic component, but the concordance rate, the chance that a pair of identical twins both get it when one has it, is probably under 30%, despite having the same genes leaving 70% to be explained by non-genetic factors. Even if we don't know exactly what those factors are, fasting has been compared to rebooting the hard drive in a computer. Sometimes a drive gets corrupted and you don't know exactly what the problem is, but if you just turn it off and reboot it, that corruption may get cleared out. The evidence base started with case reports. Fasting followed by a plant-based diet. Remarkable reports of years of pain and stiffness gone within a week, and more importantly, stayed gone on the healthier diet. One after another like that. But case reports are just glorified anecdotes. I mean, there have been studies going back decades suggesting fasting may represent the most rapid available way to induce relief of arthritic pain and swelling for patients who have rheumatoid arthritis, but the studies often failed to have control for the placebo effect, which is especially important when it comes to relying on self-reported subjective symptoms such as pain and general well-being. But there are objective measures, lab tests of inflammation that don't appear to be affected by placebos, and that's what you can see in controlled trials, starting immediately and remaining down for at least a year. Ten different measures of inflammation significantly decreased after the fasting of subsequent meat and egg-free diets, whereas none of the parameters budged in those disease victims that continued to eat their regular diets. And the squelching of inflammation translated into a significant reduction in pain, morning stiffness, a loss of grip strength, and a number of tender and swollen joints. Even a year after the trial was over, those who benefited from the diet continued to benefit in terms of pain, stiffness, tender and swollen joints, presumably because they stuck with it. There's little doubt that while fasting, both inflammation and pain are relieved. But if you go back to the same diet you were on before, the inflammation returns unless, evidently, the fasting period followed by a vegetarian diet. Why might that be? Well, it could be due to the changes in the microbiome, the improvement in symptoms coincided with a significant alteration of the intestinal flora, which may somehow be beneficial, perhaps by strengthening the gut barrier. We know fasting can decrease the leakiness of the gut in rheumatoid arthritis patients, but we don't yet know what role, if any, it plays in the disease process. It could be as simple as icosinol, the mediator of inflammation that are formed from arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is a long-chain inflammatory omega-6 fatty acid found in animal fats. The biggest contributors are chicken and eggs, which together contribute nearly half of American intake. That's been suggested as an explanation of why those eating more plant-based appear to have better mental health. They're not suffering the cascade of neuro-inflammation caused by arachidonic acid. Why removing eggs, chicken, and other meat was shown in a randomized control trial to improve mood, suggesting the arachidonic acid might be negatively impacting mood states, and may help explain the impact of more plant-based diets on inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. So that may help explain why maintaining a plant-based diet appears to be necessary after the fast to prevent the recurrence of symptoms and inflammatory activity. Or as one popular press article put it, fasting may just be a tool to get you to radically kick-start a change in the way you eat. The strongest evidence of the benefits of fasting surrounds the treatment of an autoimmune joint disease known as rheumatoid arthritis is a detailed in my last video. There was a German study suggesting benefits for osteoarthritis as well with reported improvements in pain and joint function, but we'd really need randomized control trials to know for sure. The researchers despair that they only had 30 patients, but that's 30 times more than many reports on fasting than medical literature, which may detail only single cases. For example, a woman with a rare autoimmune disease known as mixed connective tissue disease, which can cause all sorts of painful and distressing symptoms, treated with steroids in an attempt to suppress their immune system. But 21 days later, off her medications, her symptoms improved with fasting, and more importantly, seemed to stay away. So does fasting work for mixed connective tissue disease? Well, all we can say is, hey, at least it worked. At least once. A similar success story was reported with fibromyalgia. A woman with pain throughout her body couldn't sustain activity on lots of drugs, but ended up symptom-free 24 days later and remained that way at least a month later. But when a modified fasting regimen was tried on dozens of individuals, the benefits seen at two weeks largely disappeared by week 12. What about lupus? A 45-year-old woman remaining in pain despite her immunosuppressive drugs, but pain-free by day 4 of fasting and remained symptom-free for a year, before wiping them out again with a second fast. Now, note this wasn't just fasting, but fasting followed by a plant-based diet in an attempt to solidify the gains. In a strictly plant-based diet, zero animal protein alone has been shown to control symptoms in at least some cases. The same with sacroiliitis, a common manifestation of ankylosing spondylitis. An autoimmune arthritis that primarily affects the spine, causing back pain that can last for years. They tried all sorts of conventional therapies and drugs, but the pain still didn't go away so. They tried recommending the complete avoidance of animal foods inside distinct persistent improvements within days until he ate meat again, but back on plant-based nutrition, he was off most of his drugs, almost completely free of symptoms. So at least in this case, inflammatory pain refractory to other treatment was abolished by eating healthier. So hey, at least it's worth a try. Autoimmune glomerulonephritis, where your body attacks your own kidneys, is a common manifestation of lupus. In a case series, 29 patients were fasted for 60 hours and then just put on fruits and vegetables until they got better, described such remarkable recoveries that fasting, in their opinion, should be an essential part of treatment. What about multiple sclerosis and autoimmune nerve disease? Sufferers were randomized to a fasting-mimicking diet, meaning a modified fast that started out with an 800 calorie a day diet of fruit, rice, or potatoes, and then they spent a week sipping a few hundred calories of flaxseed oil and vegetable broth before transitioning to a plant-based Mediterranean diet. Over the next three months experienced a significant improvement in overall quality of life. They also tried a ketogenic diet, but that failed to offer clinically or statistically significant overall benefit. And finally, chronic urticaria hives, where you get a rash of itchy wheels and welts, started to improve on day 3 of the fasting, completely disappeared by day 11. This is consistent with studies out of Germany and Japan that have evidently shown around a 75% effectiveness for such patients with what looks like some sort of tea with sugar diet. Certainly worth giving fasting therapy a try, but of course fasting should only be done under trained medical supervision. Otherwise, you'd never know if you have some, you know, hidden underlying kidney issue that could land you in a coma and then in a moor, right? You have to have your kidney function electrolytes monitored to make sure your body is up for the challenge. Despite the potential benefits, water-only fasting is not a cure or treatment in the traditional sense. It's simply intended to promote the body's self-healing mechanism, since, you know, by definition fasting is unsustainable. In order to maintain the results obtained by water-only fasting, it is necessary to adhere to a health-promoting lifestyle that includes a healthy diet, a mentally-processed plant food sleep, and exercise.


Okay. Good afternoon. Today is Tuesday, February 9th, and this is the Vermont House Human Services Committee. And we are starting our afternoon meeting, having a walk through by legislative council of age 171, a bill related to improving quality access for childcare. For childcare. Katie. Great. Hello, Katie Mclin office of legislative council. I'm going to pull up the document so we're all literally on the same page. How did I do. Are you seeing each 171. All right. Okay, so each 171 is an act relating to childcare and changes. Just to give you kind of a broad overview there are some changes to the subsidy program, childcare financial assistance program CC FAP. There are also some programs to support the workforce the childcare workforce. There are also a few provisions that create either reports or study groups looking at financing and governments of childcare and Vermont. So that's what we'll be going through this afternoon. The bill starts with a finding in legislative intent section. For today's purpose to move through the bill I might just skip that and get right to the substance of the bill. And we could go back another time and look at it if committee would like to. So to start off this first section deals with the childcare financial assistance program CC FAP and the language we're looking at right here is codified law in the green books. And I want to flag for the committee that this section appears in the bill. It is amended in two different places it is amended twice. The first time it is amended right here in section two, it takes effect on July 1 2021. It's later amended in the bill to take effect on July 1 2022. So I just want to flag that even though the same section appeared twice, the different amendments to this section take effect a year apart. So, first and subdivision a one. There's language about why the program is established and there's an additional purpose on lines 11 and 12 added to support the healthy development of their children the family's children, and then you'll notice that there's some language removed. There's language removed that families seeking employment shall be entitled to participate in the program for up to three months, and the commissioner may further extend that period so that limitation that families seeking employment could participate for up to three months that is removed. The next change is in subdivision a to, and this talks about how the subsidy is structured, and in current law the lower limit of the fee scale is up to and including 100% of the current federal poverty guidelines. So that changes to 100 lower limit is 150% of the current federal poverty lines, meaning that a family at or below 150% of the current federal poverty guidelines receives the full benefit of the program. So that changes effect on July 1 2021 and then we have a word change here that this the scale shall be structured that it supports employment versus encourages employment. Next in section three. The next language is not withstanding just in fiscal year 2022 the language that we just looked at with regard to the upper income limit of the fee scale. So I might just scroll up so you can see what existing law says. Here in lines 19 through 21, the upper income limit of the fee scale shall be neither less than 200% of the current federal poverty guidelines are more than 100% of the state median income adjusted for family size. Section three does is just for one year just for fiscal year 2022. It adjusts the upper income limit of the fee scale to not be less than 350% of the federal poverty level guidelines adjusted for the size of the family. Section four is the same section that we amended in section two. This is where the changes take effect on July 1 2022. The first change is in subdivision a for this is a technical correction this is cleanup, because this change will take effect after September 30 2021. And since this language specifies that this change takes effect after September 30 2021 we no longer need this language after that date. So we can remove that language. And here's the substance of change there's a new subdivision a five this language reads that families eligible to participate in CC FAP shall include those in which a parent or guide guardian works at least part time works a non traditional schedule is enrolled only part time whether education or job training program, including graduate and professional programs, or a second bachelor's degree program, or is participating in inpatient or intensive outpatient substance misuse treatment, or mental health treatment or both. So that's a change that would take effect. Again, July 1 2022. The next change has to do with how the payments are calculated for the CC FAP program. So under the current language, there's sort of split in between two pages here. There's language about using the prevailing market rate for comparable services. So the proposed change is that the payment established under the section shall reflect the following considerations, whether the provider operates a licensed child care facility or regulated child care program that is struck. That's sort of a technical change. It's being replaced with regulated child care program licensed child care facilities and registered family child care homes are regulated child care program so it's kind of just using a short slide to capture those two other categories. Whether that so whether the provider operates a regular regulated child care program, the type of service provided and the cost of providing the service, including early childhood educator compensation that is commiserate commiserate with peers and other fields. So taking into account that child educator compensation piece is new, and then payment shall be based on enrollment and the proposed change removes language about any other basis agreed to by the provider in the division. So, if this change were to take effect payments would only base be based on enrollment and some of the flexibility that the division now has would not be available any longer. Next is section six. This is, I sort of like to think of it as a set of instructions that the General Assembly is giving the child development division when they're negotiating with the federal government about how the subsidy program should be structured. So you're asking the deputy commissioner of the child development division to seek out an amendment to the division's federal child care development state plan. These are the different components that will that we're asking to amend. So first, adjusting the sliding scale of CC FAP to ensure that families whose gross income is up to including 150% of the federal poverty guidelines receive 100% of the available benefit. So this asking for this change just matches what has been done in section two of the bill and section two of the bill, the language was changed to increase the limit from 100% to 150%. So this is kind of the parallel construction of that asking that the federal government when we are negotiating the child care and sorry the federal child care and development state plan that we would like to make this change to 150%. The second change is to adjust the sliding scale of CC FAP to calculate family contributions based on a percentage of the family's annual income. So this and three, which is changing the methodology used to inform the fee scale, and it's childcare financial assistance program from the market rate survey to the cost of care is part of reflecting some of the changes that the department is proposing as part of the five year plan. So those are changes that we're directing the childcare division to seek from the federal government. And then the last piece of this childcare financial assistance program is in section seven. So this is the appropriation for everything that we've talked about so far. And so this is the fiscal year 2022 appropriation and the ask is for roughly 4.7 million to be appropriated from the general fund to the child development division above the fiscal year 21 base appropriation for the purpose of implementing the changes and section two and three that's increasing lower limit on an ongoing basis and adjusting the upper limit for fiscal year 2022 only. And then in subsection be we have intent language, and we have, we have this intent language, because we're trying to avoid getting in the situation where we're binding the hands of a future legislative body by making an appropriation. So far out. So it's the intent, but it's not binding that an appropriation that meets or exceeds the amount distributed in fiscal year 2022, he made in fiscal years 2023 through 2026 to progressively adjust the upper income limit of CC FAP each year. And the second piece of that is by fiscal year 2026 a family shall not spend more than 10% of their gross annual income on childcare. So those are all the childcare subsidy pieces going to move on to technology. So section eight is also an appropriation. This is a fiscal year 2022 appropriation 4.7 million is appropriated from the general fund to CDD for the purpose of completing implementation of the bright futures information system modernization plan. So that is completion of that work that was started. I don't know if it was last year or two years ago, but that's the appropriation to finish that process. And then on top of page 10 we move into workforce supports. So let me tell you what you're going to see before we look at it. I'm adding a new sub chapter to the existing chapter on childcare that deals specifically with workforce. And this chapter is going to create three different programs, there's going to be a scholarship program for current providers, scholarships for prospective providers, and there's also going to be a loan forgiveness portion. So you'll see that these programs, I believe except for the first one, they're all time limited and so after we go through each of these programs you'll see there is repeal language that at a date certain these programs go away. Which is the scholarships for current and early childhood providers. And subsection a we're just setting it up that it's a need based scholarship program for individuals employed by a regulated privately operated center based program or family childcare home will acquire in credits and early childhood development, or that are related directly to working with children from birth through age eight. And then subsection be directs that the division is to contract for the administration of the program, adopt policies procedures and guidelines necessary for its implementation. And it tells us that scholarships are distributed on a first come first serve basis, until the funds are depleted. And then subsection see only allows somebody to participate in one program at a time. An individual can't participate in this program and also be receiving the loan repayment assistance from the program that we're going to look at in section 3543. The next program is the scholarships for prospective providers. And again, subdivision a one we're just setting this up that it is for individuals pursuing a college or graduate degree and early childhood education or early childhood special education. The program is to provide financial assistance up to the full cost of tuition for an eligible individual. And then we go on to define what who is eligible for this program. So at somebody who attends a Vermont college or university at least part time. They have to be pursuing an associate's bachelor's or master's degree in early childhood education or early childhood special education. And the person has to commit to working in early childhood education for at least three years after completion of their degree program. And again, the department is to adopt policies procedures and guidelines necessary for implementing the program, scholarship, excuse me scholarships are distributed on a first come first serve basis, until the funds are depleted. And again, and subsection see we have this language that limits somebody to participating in only one program at a time so a person who's taking advantage of this program can also be participating in the loan repayment assistance program. The last of these three programs is the student loan repayment assistance program there. Sub and subdivision a one we're setting up the program. This is for the purpose of providing student loan repayment to an individual employed by a regulated privately operated center based childcare program or home. And then we go on to list who is eligible somebody who is working in a privately operated center based childcare program as a lead or associate teacher, or in a family childcare home that is regulated by the division for at least an average of 30 hours a week for six weeks of the year. They have to receive an annual salary of not more than $60,000 and we have to have earned a bachelor's or master's degree in early childhood education, or early childhood special education within the proceeding five years. To this debate in the program the individual has to submit to DCF documentation expressing the individuals intent to work in a regulated privately operated center based program or family childcare home for at least the next 12 months. The participant may receive up to $4500 annually and repayment assistance, which is to be distributed by the department and for allowance. And the department shall distribute at least one quarter of the individuals total annual benefit after the individual has completed three months of employment in accordance with the program. The remainder of the individuals total annual benefit is distributed by the department every three months thereafter. Again, this authorizes or directs the department to adopt policies procedures and guidelines necessary to implement the provisions of the section. The funds are appropriated shall be expended for repayment of student loans, and this again is available on a first come first serve basis until the funds are depleted. Again we have this language and subdivision three that says if you're participating in this program you can't also be participating in the previous one of the previous two programs, the scholarships for current or perspective providers. So those are the three programs and then we have some language about funding them. So, basically a one two and three tracks the order of the programs that we just went through in the previous section so these are all appropriations for fiscal year 22 300,000 is appropriated for the current provider scholarship program. 200,000 for the perspective early childhood provider scholarship program. And in subdivision a three, we have 200,000. Oh, I'm sorry. I have been saying this wrong. No I was right 300,000 200,000. And then we have 2 million and loan repayment assistance. That was the last program we looked at. In section B we again have this intent language so as not to bind a future legislature to a certain appropriation, but it's the intent of the General Assembly that appropriations that me or exceed the amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2022 should be made in fiscal years 2023 through 2026. And then at the time limited nature of the programs that we just looked at. And then we get right into the repeals. So, the first program, the student loan repayment assistance program is repealed. Yes, we're only repealing subsection C of that program. Subsection C is the section that refers to the other two programs. So let me say that another way, the program that deals with current scholarships for current early childhood providers is an ongoing program that won't be repealed what will be repealed is subsection C that references the other two programs because the other two programs are going away. So in subsection B here and subsection C, you'll see that the perspective scholarship program goes away on July 1, 2026, and the student loan repayment assistance program is repealed on July 1, 2026. So those are the workforce supports. And then we move into a series of study groups and reports on various aspects of the childcare system. So first we have a governance study in subsection A gives the purpose in order to ensure that Vermont's governance for early childhood education effectively meets the needs for children families and providers. Right futures is to undertake an analysis that evaluates and makes recommendations of the following. So here are all the things that are going to be part of the analysis existing early childhood education governance and administrative stakeholders and structures. Early childhood education governance and administrative functions that are currently not staffed or understaffed emerging system needs stakeholder engagement and decision making processes and state plan development. In subdivision five line eight mechanisms to strengthen system oversight and leverage current system strengths identification of existing needs and challenges. And lastly ensuring that an anti racist approach is used and modifying existing policies and procedures and creating new policies and procedures. So this analysis and recommendations are to be submitted by January 15 of 2022 by building bright futures. Subsection C, instructs that building bright futures is to consult the early care and education advisory committee that is established in one of the coming sections that we'll look at and preparing the analysis. In subdivision D one we have an appropriation for fiscal year 2022 $150,000 is appropriated from the general fund to building bright futures to implement this section to do this work. And in subdivision to building bright futures may use appropriated funds to cover administrative needs associated with the study and to contract a consultant with experience and organizational or administrative governance administration or system management experience. And then we have a definition of early care and education. It means programming provided at center based programs or family childcare homes regulated by the department for children and families and child development division that serves children from birth to five years of age we have this definition for no longer operating in the green books this would be in session law. In general the language is starting to move towards early care and education, and those types of terms are not currently reflected in the green books so I wanted to make sure since these are the terms that are being used and the various studies and work groups that we're going to be looking at that we're defining what that term means and kind of tying it back into the terms that we're familiar with from the green books. In section 13. This is a financing study. In January 15 of 2022, the state treasure auditor, jfo commissioner finance and commissioner of taxes is to deliver the general assembly a comprehensive report, identifying and intermitting the feasibility of implementing a stable long term funding source to finance affordable high quality early childhood care system, given childcare's role and post pandemic stimulus and long term economic development. So this group of individuals is to consider stable ongoing funding necessary to achieve a system in which a family does not spend more than 10% of its gross annual income on childcare. In which childcare providers receive compensation on par with their peers and other fields, in which Vermont children below five years of age have access to a childcare space that meets their needs. And in which early care and education programs are able to support families access to coordinating services. And the report required is to determine a stable long term funding source to fund the system, the optimum design of a stable long term funding source, the feasibility of such a stable long term funding source in terms of sustainability equity and appropriateness and the feasibility of dedicating revenue from a stable long term funding source to a dedicated early care and education fund create basically creation of a special fund and the most efficient methods of administering and distribution of this special fund. In subsection C, this group of individuals we've identified beginning of this section is to include input from state or contracted economists and analysts are both including an economist or analysts with expertise that specifically related to early care and education issues. So part of this report required under this section, the same group of individuals and any contracted advisors are to produce a consensus evaluation of the economic impact of investment in high quality affordable childcare for children birth through age five years of age, through a long stable funding source. So the consensus evaluation is to include both micro economic and macro economic simulations, looking at individual and economy wide impacts and responses, and the allocation of such impacts across economic sectors including direct and direct and induced results. Section two goes into the data tools to be used to do this consensus evaluation. It shall include Moody's analytics and customized customized Moody's online Vermont models, as well as dynamic and other input and output based models, including those regional economic models. Dynamics in in plan I am PLN and other models as advised, the consensus evaluation is to consider demographic impacts, workforce impacts, warnings savings and multiplier effects for parents and guardian or guardians, childcare providers, early care and education programs, and it is providing supplies and services for early care and education programs. Children receiving childcare as future members of the workforce. General business earnings and multipliers stemming from increased workforce participation, community development, increased tax revenue, and social service savings including care education and corrections. And the consensus evaluation shall present findings on the following. First, the efficacy of the infrastructure investment and high quality affordable early care and education as a short term stimulus to enhance Vermont's economic well being and the immediate aftermath of the pandemic. And the efficacy of the infrastructure investment and high quality affordable early care and education as a long term economic development tool, and to the extent possible to quantify long term return on investments. And subsection either secretary of administration. Shall be allowed to accept philanthropic contributions to underwrite the cost of hiring economists and analysts to do this work. In the end of the section is the same definition we've already seen in the previous section the definition of early care and education. The next section creates an advisory committee early care and education governance and administration. So first we're just kind of setting up the purpose. We're creating an advisory committee to advise this child development division on all services pertaining to children and early education regulation, including licensing rules policies and procedures, administration of the early childcare education system. CC FAP rules policies and procedures and plans childcare provider credentialing and compensation standards. Early childhood care and education curricula standards including anti racist early childhood education practices and standards. And the early care and education governance and administration study that we already looked at in section 12. The members of this advisory committee they're all pointed by building bright futures and it's most of the long numbers. A parent or caregiver from a large town or city, a parent or caregiver from a rural community, a family childcare home provider, a center based childcare and preschool childcare provider, a head start family policy advisory council member, a head start early childhood provider or program director, a representative of the Vermont Association for the education of young children, early childhood education, higher education consortium, a representative of the parent child center network, or representative of a community childcare resource agency, a provider of children's integrated services, a provider of childhood special education services, a regional universal pre K coordinator, a pre a pediatrician and a community member. The committee is to have the administrative assistance of building bright futures and the technical and legal assistance of the child development division. There is a report required annually on or before January 15, a written report is due to this committee and Senate health and welfare with a summary of its annual activities findings and recommendations for legislative action. The meeting's building bright futures is to call the first meeting by September 1 of this year. The committee would select a chair from among its members. The majority makes up a quorum and the committee would cease to exist on January 1, 2024. This is a compensation and reimbursement for not more than six meetings annually and fiscal year 2022 that appropriation is 25,000 for the year appropriated to building bright futures. And again, we have the same definition of early care and education that we've seen the previous two sections. And we've made it to the end the effective day section. The bill takes effect July 1 2021, with the exception of that duplicate section in the subsidy program that we looked at, which takes effect July 1 2022. And that is it. Okay, I'll entertain a motion to this bill just kidding. Just kidding. This is the beginning of our exploration of this and it really is a walkthrough of it. Representative Rosenquist. Thank you. I just wanted to make sure I understand the changes that are made or it changes to what are an underlying bill or this bill from last year. Maybe I didn't understand that, but you know, you showed a lot of changes to different things here and what are we changing. So this was a new bill that was introduced in this biennium. Some of the changes, particularly the changes in the first half of bill are changes made to existing law like the subsidy program. So those are already in the green books are existing law that have been in, you know, been law for a number of years they've been amended over the years, some of the latter language the language that is all underlined, particularly the study groups, the financing group, the advisory committee that's all proposed. That's all a proposal new law that isn't amending anything. And the same is true of the workforce supports that's a proposal for for new law it's not amending anything. Thank you. That helps me put it in perspective. Thank you. We've got at this juncture, a couple of minutes for questions of content to Katie. Thank you madam chair. I have one question. On page 15 line 11. And on page 20 line 21. A term as you was there.  Do we have a definition of either racist or anti racist. I couldn't find one in the bill.  And so to that I would have to look and get back to you. Thank you. Jessica. Thanks. Something I didn't think of Katie when we were originally working on this was part time do we have a definition of what equals part time, like it's not just five hours or I don't have anything specific in the bill but I'm guessing if I were to consult with Damien Leonard who deals with labor law that he might be able to direct us to the right place and statute. And it could be that we could out of cross reference and depending if the committee liked that definition or if you wanted to kind of come up with your own. But I can reach out to him and I'll ask that question. Great. Thank you. Are we at the after lunch law. Just so folks know this is a the beginning. I mean, I thought, you know, it's clearly it's important that we know have a walkthrough of what the language is. And there are this is a piece of legislation that I want to say the overall concept of the importance of childcare is very important to 90 some odd if not more members of the House and Senate. That doesn't mean of the house that does not mean that 90 members agree with all the aspects of the 23 pages. And so that is part and parcel of what we will need to be doing is hearing, not necessarily from representatives but from the stakeholders and from people who will be impacted. In terms of house human services will we will be starting tomorrow as you see on the agenda, hearing from what I would say, three of the major three of the provider or advocacy organizations that have been that will be either impacted by language of this or and have some views one of which is clearly let's grow kids who help set the framework for some of this. Clearly, clearly it is our Department of Children and Families, because there are, there's language in here that is assumes a direction that may or may not be consistent with the direction of the administration. So, a couple of you have wondered how and when we might be looking at the governor's proposal. This is one place, because there are things in here that may not be consistent with what the governor is proposing and so we're going to begin with that and then there are there's a significant role for building bright futures in this bill and so we want to hear from then that you know then I think it's important that we all figure out what how how who else we need who do we need to hear from what our providers or groups or individuals who we may never who we may not usually hear from that it is important that we hear from in terms of childcare and then to know that this bill has a long way to go, or shall I say has lots of stops before it gets to the floor. So it's a very likely education. And if you look at some by by the appropriation of money, it will have to go to buy by House rules. It will have to go to appropriations, and in terms of some of the aspects of the study it very well may need to formally go to raise and means. And then there is whether or not it formally or informally goes to commerce and economic development. In terms of of that. Those are the committees that have been identified as potential interests as a committee not as individuals, in terms of, shall I say, policy interests, whether or not all will take whether whether some will just will will take possession or whether for instance, or whether they will just do a look see is another question. The crossover has not been identified yet. But when that is identified, we're going to need to be doing some backward planning. And given, given the path that this bill needs to go, we'll need to focus a lot on this bill in the coming weeks, after we do the budget. I know that we would that in terms of setting the agenda and thinking about who we want to hear from. I don't know if right now you have some ideas off the top of your head. But keep that in mind in terms of what are the perspectives and voices that will be important to hear. And while while Katie has I think other places to go this afternoon it will not be the last time that she is available to us for questions about content or what things mean. And how to make sense of some of the, the language. Before we take a 15 minute break, because we're going to go on to some other things as well. Are there some quick questions for Katie in terms of content. I think Robert wants to know if there are places anywhere definition of what racism and Jessica asked about what does part time mean. Okay. Katie, thank you. Thank you very much. And we will see you on shore very soon. And now, let's take a look at the committee. Let's take a be back my clock says it's 202. And how about we take come back by 215. So a 13 minute break. And when we come back, we're going to do the big reveal on what the committee priorities were in terms of the voting and expectations. After that we'll be having a presentation and information from Jen around advanced directives and some requested changes as it relates to COVID-19 needs. So let's take a break and as we are taking a break we will be I believe still on YouTube. So please keep your voice off and turn off your picture and I'll see you now in 12 minutes.


The discovery of EGFR mutations in NSCLC has led to the use of EGFR, TKIs as effective treatments for the disease. Unfortunately, these drugs are not always successful leading to the development of resistance. This resistance can be caused by multiple factors including secondary mutations, activation of alternative pathways, altered signaling pathways, impaired apoptotic pathways, and more. By understanding the mechanisms behind this resistance, researchers hope to identify potential targets for developing new therapeutics. This article was authored by Li Huohuang and Li Wufu.


Good afternoon, everyone. This is Ms. Lili Chishik from the Department of Economics. I warmly welcome each and every one of you to the webinar session on emotional intelligence organized by the Department of Economics Tetsuo College. Today, we have a very interesting topic that is on emotional intelligence. And I'm sure all of you have heard of the abstract kind of bio of our guest, Pekati, today. So you will be speaking of emotional intelligence.  The skills involved in emotions, intelligence, are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Today, we are living in a world full of uncertainty. And this heartening news, we can see this. We can hear this heartening news, everyone. And most of us are affected by this appendix in one way or another. So we cannot control the difficult situation. We cannot control the appendix and all that it brings. But we are faced with stressful and difficult situations. It can emerge in many forms in our daily life. But the need for development and emotional intelligence is that one can cope with any situation in life and live a happy and successful life, and one does well in personal as well as professional life. And also, even in the students' life, students with higher level of emotional intelligence are able to manage themselves and to live with others around themselves and help to develop and improve self-motivations and effective communications skills essential to help students become a confident learner. So this is the reason why we have chosen on the topic emotional intelligence to help the students in this difficult situation. When one is faced with pandemic and when they are facing a lot of uncertainty in their lives, we hope that through this session, the students will learn how to regulate their emotional being, how to regulate themselves and live a good and balanced life. So today, I'm very happy to welcome our speaker, she is Ms. Nathini Nipalmai, counseling psychologist. So she is specialized in educational psychology from Martin Luther University. Yes, you can please unmute your microphone, the participants. So currently, she's best in directing. She is a school counselor, teaches psychology and also gives a life school programs at Botel member of school, Causium. She holds double master degree philosophy from the new and emissive counseling psychology. She is also a research scholar for Causium, her area of study in attitude of students among travel students to our mathematics and academic performance. And I'm very happy and glad to welcome her to our webinar session. And also thank you to the speaker for accepting our request to come and speak to our students in spite of your music schedule. And also she, I'm so happy because she is my roommate and my close friend. So I hope we will have a very engaging and insightful session. Okay, so I will be giving her the time, but after her talk, we'll have a Q&A session that is you can post your question, you can unmute your mind and give your ask questions or also you can put it in the chat box at the end of the session. And yeah, participants, you are kindly requested to unmute your microphone, okay? And also you can turn off your captions if you are not able to hear the voice clearly. So without further ado, I give the rest of the time to continue there and please, you can have your time. Okay, thank you Ali. Am I audible? Yes, it's audible. Okay, thank you for the introduction. Okay, so I'm not going to show the video, but I'll directly start with the presentation, okay? Okay. Is it okay to allow me to do the presentation? Somebody is to present things. Oh, I think somebody needs to be here. Okay, thank you. Okay, Ali, is the screen visible? Yes, it's visible. Okay. So thank you for having me in your session. Okay, so today we will learn about the basic understanding of what emotional intelligence is. So this is a modern day concept and a lot of psychologists would like to give credit to emotional intelligence for a person's success rather than the IQ, the intelligent questions that a person has, okay? So in order to understand emotional intelligence, I would like to break this term into two words, emotion and intelligence, okay? So if I ask you what emotion is, then a majority of you might say it is a feeling. So it is correct, okay? But when we talk about emotion, it is not just a feeling, but it also involves reaction. So whenever you feel something, you react. Whenever you're angry, happy or sad, you react, right? So when we talk about emotion, it's not just feeling, but it is also a reaction. And it is also important to know that it has no gender. Sometimes we attribute some of the emotions as boyish and some are girlish, okay? But it is very important to know that emotion has got biological determinants, which means your biology made up your emotions, okay? That's the reason why it is not wise to label emotions as masculine and feminine, okay? So let's go to intelligence. Intelligence is the ability of a person to learn or to apply the knowledge or skills. So if you're able to learn something or able to learn new things and if you're able to apply the knowledge that you have learned, so you are an intelligent person, okay? So what is emotional intelligence then? It is the combination of emotions and intelligence. So overall, it is the person's ability to learn and apply emotions. So what do you mean by learning and applying emotions? So let's try to cover the area of what is meant by learning and applying emotions. So here are four areas that you need to understand, okay? So the first one is learning how to manage your emotions. We all have the positive and the negative emotions and we understand that whatever emotions that we feel, we have the tendency to have an effect on the other person as well, okay? So learning how to navigate and regulate, especially the negative emotions such as anger, hatred, okay, those are the examples. Learning how to navigate your anger or your hatred in a more healthy way is meant by managing your emotions, okay? The second one is understanding emotion. A lot of times we're confused what we are exactly feeling, okay? Sometimes people might say when they're feeling bored, they might confuse that as sadness, okay? But be able to turn the emotion correctly and understand what exactly you're feeling at the moment and at a particular situation is very, very important. That is meant by understanding emotion, okay? And the next one is learning how to use your emotions. It means that you know how to use your emotions appropriately and also learn how to express your emotion depending on the situations that you are in. For example, if you're going to a funeral and if you're having a good time and you're laughing out loud out here, it is a very inappropriate emotions that you are showing, okay? But emotional intelligence is learning how to use your emotions and express yourself in an appropriate manner. So the last one is perceiving emotion. It means you use your senses. We have five sense organs, right? So using your senses to understand the emotions of other people. So when you look at your teacher, sometimes they're not in good mood. So they didn't have to tell you that they're not in the good mood. You just look at them and then you perceive the emotion and you know that they're not in a good mood. That is perceiving emotion, okay? So emotional intelligence encompasses all this for areas, okay? So let's try to understand what is meant by emotionally intelligent person. So according to two social psychologists, Peter, Celery and John Mayer, they feel that to be an emotionally intelligent person, one need to acquire five skills, okay? So we will be talking about the five skills that an emotionally intelligent person should have. So the first one is self-awareness. So when we talk about self-awareness, what does it mean? It means that you are conscious of yourself. To be conscious of yourself, it means that you know your inside and outside of yourself. You know your strength and your weaknesses. You know the bad side, the good side of you.   So that is being self-aware. And the second one is empathy. Empathy is being able to walk in the shoe of someone else, which means that you're able to feel the same thing as the other person is feeling, okay? So remember, empathy is different from sympathy because sympathy, when you sympathize with somebody, you are feeling pity for that person and you felt sorry for that person, and then, but in your heart, you're glad that you are the person who's going through that situation, okay? But to sympathize with somebody means you are really feeling the sadness of that person or the happiness of that person and who are walking in the shoe of that person. So that is being empathizing, okay? And the next one is self-regulation. So being able to be in control of yourself, especially with your impulses such as your anger, aggression, or you being in control of yourself and you're able to regulate whatever negative feeling that you have to do a more healthy one and you're able to express yourself, that is being able to self-regulate, okay? And the next one is motivation. Motivation is being aware of what motivates you and also being aware of what motivates other people. Remember, when we talk about emotional intelligence, it's not just about you knowing yourself, but it is also about you knowing other people as well. That's why you have to know what motivates you as well as other people. And the last skills that you need to have is the social skills. So these are the skills that you need to develop in order to have a good relationship with other people, okay? So what are some of the skills that you need? Some of the skills like learning how to communicate effectively with other people or learning to be assertive or maybe learning how to be a team player. So these are some of the skills that you need in order to have a good emotional intelligence, okay? So let's talk about EQ and IQ. As I've mentioned before, many of the psychologists would like to give credit to EQ for a person's success in life. May it be in personal success or may it be a professional success, okay? Maybe in the olden times, maybe around 50 years ago, many of the people would say that IQ is responsible for a person's success. Maybe because they would view success as a person who is earning a lot of money or having good social status as a society, okay? But in the present time, EQ is very important because people have begun to understand the importance of overall well-being. So in order to have overall well-being, having the capacity to think and perform will not give you an overall well-being. But you need to have emotional intelligence as well, okay?  Let's say you are applying for a job, okay? So when you apply for a job, you have passed out from your university with 99.9%. Okay?  So out of all these people, what makes the employer choose that one person who is fit for the job? So they look into the EQ of a person, okay? Which means that they need somebody who knows how to have a good relationship with other people. They also need somebody who knows how to work and make good decisions under tough times or when they are being pressured, okay? So you need emotional intelligence. If you're supposed to work in a reputed organization or any business firm, okay? And the next one is it also increases leadership ability. Emotional intelligence increases leadership ability. So in the present time, a leader is not just a person who gives command and demands from the worker to do the work and he wants other people to listen to him. It's not the case anymore, okay? Because in the present time, it is all about everyone contributing to the success of where they are working. So if the person has, if the boss or if the leader in the agency has a good emotional intelligence, then he will be able to understand the different needs of his workers, okay? And then whenever there is a conflict because of the differences in idea, a good leader will be able to resolve the conflict understanding the background and idea that they have and he'll be able to come to a good decision-making. And at the same time, he'll be able to empathize with his workers. So to have emotional intelligence is very important if a person has to be leader someday, okay? And the next one is having a good emotional intelligence will improve in decision-making. As we all know, emotions do not have right or wrong, okay? It doesn't have any rational thinking. So a person who has a good emotional intelligence will be able to rise above the emotions. And whenever a person is able to rise above any emotions, then he will be able to see the situation clearly and will be able to make a good judgment based on your mind or your brain, okay? So that's the reason why a person needs to make decision when they are not emotional, okay? And the next one is a person who has good emotional intelligence will suffer less stress. The reason is that he or she knows that there are things that are happening around, there are irritating people, there are people who are very negative and there are also situations which it is out of control for him. And he is aware of that and this awareness helps him stay focused on the things that are important at the moment and staying focused on the things that is important to him. He'll be able to avoid the unnecessary conflict that is happening around him, okay? So this helps him to lower down the level of stress even though things are happening around him, okay? And the next one is if a person is able to resolve conflict in a healthy way or if a person has a healthy relationship with other people and within himself and if a person experiences less stress and if he's able to make good decisions in life and if he's able to manage his emotions well overall this person is going to be very happy, okay? This happiness will lead a person to be more productive in work and overall it will give a personal and a professional well-being to a person. So at the end of the day, what is the question? IQ is more important or EQ is more important. I would say we also need a brain, we also need the heart. The brain and the heart together will make a very successful person in life, okay? So that's all I want to share about today and thank you. If you have any questions, we will have a discussion now, okay? Okay, EQ is a mine for sharing your thoughts and emotional intelligence. I'm sure that students have really liked this session because we will, should we have the EQ or shall we go straight to the question now? I think we should go straight to the questioning. Yeah, yeah, we're going to go straight. So students, we have a presentation, so please feel free to ask questions. You can unmute your mic, microphone and ask questions or also if you don't feel free, you can put your questions in the chat box, okay? So please take this opportunity to hear all your thoughts. Yes, okay, Miss, we have one question. In the meantime, the rest of the students also you can put your questions in the chat box or also please feel free to unmute your mic and ask questions, okay? Yeah, this is a question from Abilio. She's from first semester. Her question is, I would like to know a little bit more about empathy and how it is different from sympathy. Okay, yes, the thing is a lot of time we sympathize with other people. For example, let's say a person is going through a difficult time, okay? So let's say a person is suffering from COVID right now, okay? So sometimes we tend to sympathize with them. We will say that we saw if you're going through the situation, but at the back of our mind, we feel that we are glad that we are not the one who is suffering from COVID-19, okay? But to empathize with somebody is when the person is suffering from COVID-19 and he must have been going through a lot of things. Maybe emotionally or mentally, a person will be going through a lot of things. So to empathize with them, you really feel the same way, the same sadness or the same thing that the person is going through, which means you are walking in the shoe of that person and you really, really understand what that person is going through. That is empathy. So is it clear? Yeah, yeah, you have, yes, I've been there. It's clear, isn't it? Yeah, me says clearly explain the difference between empathy and sympathy. Yes, is there any more questions? You can share your own personal thing, which is affecting you or maybe others if you are going any negative emotions. Can you please take the time and ask? Yes, students, please take this time. We still have more time. Ali, maybe it will be better if they do the activity also because that activity also it's very helpful if they are not so interactive. Okay, yeah, we can do that. We still have time. Yes, look into themselves. It will help them to look into themselves. Yes. So it is more practical and it is very reflective. So I think that will be more helpful. Okay, yeah, you can go ahead with that. Students, please don't leave the session, okay? Don't worry. It will be helpful. Will it be okay? Can you show the slide? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. So, I mean, you may not, can you show the slide about the case study? Okay, all right. Okay, just a minute. Okay. All right, I hope it's visible now. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay, so I hope that this is visible to all of you. Okay, so what do you have to do in this case study is that this is a study based on emotional intelligence. So if you have to look at the story out here, okay, you have to read through the story and in the end you have to analyze how each individual have behaved and if they possesses high emotional intelligence then how would the situation be different? Okay, so that's what you're supposed to do. So take your time. Maybe I'll give you around three minutes to read through the story. And then after that maybe I would want one or two people to share how would things be different? Okay, so I want one or two people to share your ideas on this. So are you reading out? No, I'm allowing the students to read it by themselves. Students, I hope it's clear enough, size is big enough for you to read. That's fine. Okay, I'll give you one more minute. Okay, Ali, were you able to complete the, were you able to complete reading the story? Yes, yes. Okay, so which means even the students would have been completed by now. So, yes, so I want you to pick up maybe one or two students like were a little bit interactive to share some of the ideas that they have regarding this case study. Okay, good. Because remember when you're sharing it, there is no right or wrong answer, okay? So this is the situation and you're just supposed to look at the situation and then if it were you, if it were you, how are you going to change the situation differently? Okay? Okay, so I hope that students you have all read the case study. You can, you can read the presentation. Give me a break if you can present it. So, yeah, I would like to request any one of you to please share what you have learned from this case study. Yeah, Shankoye, Shankoye, Shankoye, have you read this? Yes, Miss. Yes, Miss. Can you please share your view and then next Centrum Law, please share your view, okay? And then I would like to request a Bill in Law or C.I.P. in Law to please share your view and also Yakshi Kaba, okay? So share your view, okay? And also others are most welcome. And Abinio also, yeah. Hello everyone, am I audible? Yes, you're audible. According to me, if the high, if the boss is high emotional intelligence, first of all, Ratha, who was a brilliant student. Okay. Positioning high IQ, but she posted for because of our father's post and so on things and without knowing the reality. So such things like posting of our father's name and so on things and she wouldn't have done that with high emotional intelligence and on second portions, Ramya, right? So even she, like if she had posted high level of EQ, greater in place of being enemies or something bad or able to Ramya or Ratha, she could have advised her or like give her empathy or shown some kinds of sympathy and give motivations and so on things first. I think if the bosses such high level of emotional intelligence, they could have supported each other in place of doing evil to each other. That's all, thank you. Okay, okay, thank you. The next person would like to share. Okay, good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon. Am I audible? Yes, you're audible. Okay, good. So the first thing I noticed here in this case study is that humbleness, they were all leaking in humbleness. That's the first thing that I noticed, okay. So first of all, Ratha's father, Ratha was very proud of her father but her father itself used to narrate his own story saying about his honesty and degrading. That means the father was also proud of himself. And he was talking about himself, the greatness that he did, the goodness that, about his own goodness. But if his father was also humble and would have taught Ratha in that way, like even if, say, I don't know. Okay, okay, continue. If he would have told, even though he was a great person, he became a great person. If his father, her father would have taught Ratha about being humble, I think Ratha would have done that even in the college. She wouldn't have post much about, so his father was well-known by all the colleagues in the colleges. I think Ratha wouldn't have post a lot about his father as well. And Ratha, yeah. Then coming to her friend, Ramya, if he had had to process a high emotional intelligence, she could have, you know, corrected Ratha of what she was of her behavior instead of being jealous and trying to put her there or trying to hurt her. If she hadn't liked the attitude or the behavior of Ratha and if she could have corrected her in a better way instead of trying to hurt or harm her. Okay. Okay, so thank you for sharing. Let's go to the next person who would like to share. Yes, anyone from Sixth Semester? Yeah, Villano, Sikrano, Villano and Sikrano. Or Piek Sikaba. Anyone like Anam Di? Friend to me? Yeah. Or Kuplen? That's you, Abilio? Friend to me. Okay. Yeah, Abilio was here. Abilio's view is what we see here in this case studies, there's actually four characters. That is Ratha, her father, her friend Ramya and also one of his close friend. So my point of view, like agreeing with Shacoi and Jeng Jun Law, it's true that Ratha, I think she had a sense of, I mean, her self-awareness emotion was more stronger than, I mean, her social awareness emotion was more stronger than her self-awareness. Likewise, even her father as well. So we, like the sense of brightness, because one is more conscious about your social environment rather than being low key, like the kind of self-awareness one would like to grow. So that is a negative point. I mean, like that social thinking, it was not good according to what I've studied and also her friend, like, honestly, I prefer someone who, when there is a competitor in anything, because that really helps someone to be more idle thinking and someone to be more ambitious. So I appreciate the way her friend Ramya was against Ratha. However, not using her vocab properly, like, how do I express it? Like, not maintaining that social competition among others and by using negative words, that was, that is not a good emotional intelligence, a balance of emotional intelligence in IQ as well. And actions speak louder than words. So at the end, I would like to support her friend who slept Ramya, where at the end, after having faced that embarrassment by Ratha, it was actually better if someone took an action like how we consider courts and polices to control us when we are out of our, when we are out of our control. So yeah, that's what I, that's my understanding from this case study. Thank you. Okay, thank you for sharing. Okay, so everyone has a different way of looking at things, okay? So it's very interesting to see how the mind works and how you interpret the situation in your understanding, okay? So do we still have anybody who would like to speak about your interpretation of the situation here? Would anyone else like to share? Okay, so if anybody doesn't have anything to share with this case study, then this case study is supposed to be reflective, okay? So it doesn't have the right or the wrong answer. It is dependent on how you see the scenario and how would you react according to the situation based on your emotional intelligence that you possess, okay? So we will end the case study out here. And if you still have questions, then we will go ahead with the questions. If not, then I will give the time to Lily to go ahead with whatever things that we need to do. Okay, thank you. Taking me for this very engaging session. I'm sure all the students have learned something from this and they will implement this in their life. So on behalf of the Texas College, on behalf of the Department of Economics and Texas College, thank you so much for taking out your time in this very busy times. You have taken up your time to speak to us on this very important topic. So we believe that knowledge that we have shared with our students will help them to improve and develop emotional intelligence and they will be able to regulate their thoughts and lead a very positive life and their overall well-being will be improved. You know, almost everything we do into this world is dependent on our ability to manage our emotions. So I believe that through this case study and through your insightful message to the students, they will be able to know this and they will be able to know themselves better. So we often see that some people that are very successful, they have a high IQ and they become very successful. At the end of the day, they are very stressed, they end up into some addictive habits, they are very stressed, they are angry, they are not able to manage people. But there are some people who are, they live a very humble life, even though they don't have all the richness and all the world will work with pleasures, but they are living a very good and happy life. So I believe that it is how we regulate our thoughts because our thoughts lead our life. So we cannot control the external factors, like you say, but we can control the internal factors. And if we are aware of our self, we will be able to understand others and we'll be able to regulate our emotions. So at times, like we are emotional beings, our emotions take control of us. So when our emotions take control of us, it brings, we are not able to think awkwardly and we are overtaken by emotions and we don't believe, and there are times when we do things which is, which we become very upset and we think, why we have done this? But I believe that through this session, we will all take something positive in us and from now onwards, we'll be able to regulate our emotions well. And there's, it's always, we can always improve our emotional intelligence to lead a very good life. So with that note, I would like to thank all the participants and the guest speaker and my department colleagues, Sarah Leverbete and Hugh Younger for these questions. Or if you want to ask more questions, you can always contact me so that I can help you to commit to my friend. Okay, so there's one more question. It seems to be more engaging. So we have one more question. Can we, can we know ourselves if we're emotionally intelligent or not? This is, yeah. Okay, so a lot of tests are available online. Okay, so you can do a lot of tests because these tests are meant for you to check yourself whether you're emotionally intelligent or not. Okay, there are a few things like I have spoken to you if you're self-aware, if you're able to perceive emotions, if you're able to regulate your emotions in a healthy way, it is a sign. You will be knowing yourself. So it is a sign that you are emotionally intelligent. But if you still want a proof, then you can go ahead and do the test as well. Okay, are we clear? Yes, yeah, we are. I hope, yeah, Mrs. Maek everyone here. And yeah, if you have more questions, you can ask. We still have one minute, two minutes. Okay, so if there is none, like everybody, especially you know, youngsters, teenagers, you will all, you will not be able to understand emotions properly. You'll be facing a lot of stress, tension, you'll be confused, and it's full of time. And although there's now we're facing uncertainty, we are facing pandemic. And we are all affected by this pandemic in one way or another. And then we have to shift from offline to online mode. And then we're facing with a lot of uncertainty that people around are paying, facing with a financial problem, relationship problem. So this emotional intelligence is very important. So I believe that, you know, my students have learned something from this session. And in future also, if you want to ask any questions with regard to this topic, you can please feel free to contact me so they can connect you to Ms. so that she can help you in personal level as well. So thank you, Ms. once again, for engaging and very insightful session. I myself have learned a lot from this session and then being a teacher, even though, you know, being a teacher and being more old and still now I'm facing difficult to regret my emotions. We are still trying improving every way to regulate my emotions for my well-being. So thank you everyone, all the participants. In future also we will be like to have this kind of session. Yes, yeah, we have a guest here and she's a former teacher. That's a college model of ACS. She wants to ask one questions. I guess I can take the time. And we can still give time, but yeah. Yes, you can please go ahead. Yeah, Ms. thank you so much. And I thought of not revealing my identity, but you have just, you know, my name. So yeah, that is fine. But yeah, I've also been attending the session. And yeah, thank you so much, Ms. too, for sharing, you know, about emotional intelligence in a very clear, you know, in a very clear and simple manner. You know, I've learned so much from your presentation and you know, the question that I would like to ask is that, you know, nowadays see, because of this current situation that we have been facing, most of us, we go through a lot of emotional struggles and all like, you know, for example, we go through many of us, you know, we are also struggling with anger, you know, fear and anxiety or insecurity like that. No, so many problems, kind of problems. So what I would like to ask you is that, what would be the best way? You know, what would be the best way or the right way to deal with such kind of problem if we're going through such kind of problem? Would it be advisable to seek, you know, professional, those professional counselors, if we're going through such kind of problem, is it, you know, advisable to seek professional help or who would be the right person in this case if we're going through any kind of, you know, emotional problems like that? Who would be the right person to approach, you know, if we're facing such kind of problem? So I would like to ask the speaker to please share your views on this one, yeah, thank you. Okay, yes, during this uncertain times, it's not just during uncertain times, but when talk about anxiety, depression, it has more to do with the mental issues. It's not just about feeling sad, okay? So it is always nice to have somebody who understands you. So if we're supposed to go through something, then it's always nice to have somebody to share, somebody who understands you. But if we're talking about depression and the anxiety and a little bit more on the mental issues side, then it is always, the best advice would be, it's always good to seek the professional help, okay?  But with the help of the professionals, you'll be able to learn how to navigate or you'll be able to learn how to come into decisions what would be the best thing for you to do at the moment. Okay, so yes, if you have anybody whom you can talk to, talk to them, do not always keep, but not bottle up the feelings you have. It's always nice to talk to somebody and then once you share that with somebody, you will feel that all of your problems are gone, okay? And yes, I think would be if you think this is very serious that if you have been going through this for more than maybe a month, then it is very important for you to seek professional help as well. Okay, so yeah, that's the answer that I have. I hope we can get up with whatever they need. Thank you so much, Miss, for answering their callways. Again, like, no, we still have one question. Okay, so should we take that question? Oh, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is for everyone who wants to take the question. Please feel free to ask. We have all the time. Yes, Shanquan, let's go ahead and ask the question. Hello, Miss. Okay, your presentation is very helpful to me and like I have one question to ask and that is in this present scenario, there are lots of people who are stubborn and like I have a lot of friends of mine who are like willing to take their own decisions and not listening to others who are giving them the right advice and all. Giving a sign of low EQ and something like that. So how do we suggest some ways to correct them in their own way, like something acceptable to them? How do we correct them, those kinds of subburn or some kinds of people who are, who wishes to take their own decisions? Okay, so wouldn't we talk about human beings, okay? Like, complex, sometimes it is very difficult to give the appropriate answers to any type of questions, okay? But what I would suggest is that your friend, okay, lack emotional intelligence, but the beginning of it, you can always start with telling him the good things about him, okay? So that is the beginning of self-awareness. So maybe in his whole life, maybe that person did not get any positive feedback, okay? Or constructive feedback in his life. So maybe he's not able to listen from the other side or from the other's perspective, okay? So what you can do is you can always tell the person start from his good behavior or maybe start from his positive strength, okay? So once he's aware of himself, then slowly, slowly you can start working on the other areas as well. The reason being that person are who they really are because they really, really lack self-awareness, okay? So to be self-aware is the answer for everything that we are going through. If we're really self-aware, then a person will be very reflective, a person will be able to understand the situation even from the other's perspective as well. If you do not know the person, if you do not know yourself, then it is very difficult to know the other person and understand the other person. So what you can do is help him to be self-aware, okay? So maybe you can start from giving him the positive feedback about himself. So that's what I would like to suggest. This is not a definite answer, but that's what I would do to my friend. Is that okay? Please, one more question. Okay. How can we let a person know that we are not interested in them without actually telling them? See, okay. It is not, if the person is not emotionally intelligent, maybe the person will choose to ignore even if the person is emotionally intelligent, if he really likes you, he can do anything, okay? So the best option for you is maybe if you really don't like the person and if you are getting that vibes that you don't like it, you are supposed to use your social skills. The number one important thing is communicate. So you're supposed to communicate effectively to the person, which means that you're not going to blame the person. Why are you behaving like this with me? But you're supposed to be assertive. In what way, you tell the other person that whatever you are feeling and whatever he's doing is making you feel uncomfortable, okay? So you're supposed to be assertive, telling the person what you really feel, and at the same time, you're not hurting the other person. So you're supposed to find a way how to communicate this with your friend, okay? Is that okay? Yes, thank you so much. All right. Yeah, and I also believe that it's not wrong to like someone, isn't it? Yeah. And then we should not force other person to like us, like us. But when they like us, and then we should not do respect their, we should respect their feelings also. And if we don't like them, so we should tell them in a very good way, we should give a positive message, like that not considering his feelings and communicating in a very proper way so that it will radiate positive energy, not that both of you will become enemy, okay? So as you've stated, you want to maintain a friend, so you have to honestly communicate your feelings, you know, that I don't want to turn this to another level. So I hope that if the person is emotionally intelligence and care for others, you will also respect the decision that you are making. Yeah, yeah, this is just the additions. All right, so yeah, is there any other questions? Yeah, so I'm sure like every one of us will be facing different problems and we'll not be able to express this in this platform, but if you feel like, you know, you have a, you're going a lot of stress, tension, and you're running a portion to even share with your family members or with anyone, but you can always share with your elders or you can always contact Ms. Tio, okay? So that she can guide you properly to understand the emotion and take a better decision, all right? So if there is no other question, like you know, this session was very engaging and I'm sure that all of you have learned from this session and we will all try to take a positive from this session and live a very good and positive life and we will be able to manage our emotions and also we will be able to have a good interpersonal relationship with our friends and community, okay? So stay happy and stay positive. With that note, let's wind up our session. So once again, thank you so much, Nisq for your time. Okay, thank you. Okay, so everybody have a pleasant evening, okay? Okay, thank you, bye.
