Morning. Welcome to today's What I Eat in a Day. I actually just sat down in my office to send a quick email before I go and make some breakfast. I wanted to hop on, show my face, and welcome you to today's What I Eat in a Day. We have a busy day today. I have some new favorite products that I've been loving to share with you guys. We have to go show a couple of houses. We have to run a couple of errands. So I'll take you along with me. I have some great new foods and recipes that I want to share with you.

I'll link everything I share with you today. Nutrition coaching with personalized macros and calories and one on one coaching. Links and discounts to my favorite things and my Facebook group. Don't forget to come and join us there. It's free and it's a wealth of information. All of that will be down in the description box for you. I'm getting pretty hungry so let's go make some breakfast. For my breakfast this morning, I'm going to have a protein smoothie and I'm going to share with you some new supplements that I've recently discovered and that I have been loving. They are from the brand The Reserve. So I'm going to add a couple of those to my smoothie this morning and then I'll tell you about a couple more products that I'm really enjoying. So I did go ahead and add a little ice to my magic bullet cup. I'm then going to add one cup of Fairlife milk. That's going to give me lots and lots of protein which is what I'm after for breakfast. The first product I have been loving from The Reserve is their Beauty Balm. I've been putting this a lot into smoothies and protein shakes. You only need one teaspoon. It is a skin hair and nail supplement. It has maca, blueberry powder and collagen in it. It adds a really nice fruity flavor and kind of adds a little bit of creaminess to the smoothier protein shake as well. I've also been loving adding this organic Lion's Mane. This is a mushroom based superfood powder. This is an adaptogen and adaptogens are really really good for you. You cannot taste this at all in a smoothier protein shake. It does not change the texture. You can do one teaspoon or two. I've been doing one teaspoon and for my protein today I'm going to do the devotion angel food cake. I love this protein powder. It is my favorite one to bake with but it's also my favorite one to substitute vanilla because the angel food cake is a little bit sweeter, a little bit more creamy. So anytime a recipe or protein shake wants vanilla protein powder I always reach for my devotion angel food cake. I will link devotion down in the description box for you with a discount. If you love to bake like I do using protein powder devotion hands down is the best. And then lastly I'm going to go ahead and add in just a handful of spinach. This is going to get me some greens for today. And here is what we're looking like so far.  All right. We are all blended up. It's actually a pretty mint green color. Let me go ahead and get this into a glass and we'll go over the points and calories. Look at how beautiful this is. These are my glasses that I purchased off of Amazon. I shared these in January favorites. I'll link them down below for you guys. They're just really pretty and they are perfect protein shake and smoothie glasses. I'll go ahead and put the points here on the screen for you as well as the calories on having my breakfast. I'll talk to you guys a little bit more about the reserve and a little more about the two supplements I've been using in my protein shakes and smoothies and a couple others that I'm loving. So good. The devotion makes it so sweet and creamy. You cannot taste the lion's mane. You cannot taste the beauty bomb. It just tastes like a really sweet vanilla protein shake and not to mention that you get in a lot of greens with that big handful of spinach. So I want to talk with you guys a little bit more about the reserve. I just recently found this company and they have a ton of different supplement options. As you saw, I did pick up the beauty bomb. I also picked up the lion's mane and I decided to try out a couple of their matcha's. So I have the regular matcha and then I have the vanilla matcha. What I love about the reserve is they are made in small batches so that they remain as fresh as possible. These products come from different parts of the world. They are quality controlled and nutrient packed. They are even third party tested to make sure that they are the highest quality. They also offer vegetarian and vegan options. They have a wide variety of products including powders, blends, gummies, adaptogens and more. I'm loving my four products. The matcha is really good. It's organic. It has really good matcha flavor without the bitterness that you can experience with some of the less expensive lower quality matcha's. I've been loving the beauty bomb. I wouldn't recommend putting it in coffee because it does add a little bit of a berry flavor. But like I said, it's great in smoothies, great in protein shakes. The lion's mane, you can really put that into anything. But again, my favorite way is to blend it into a smoother protein shake. And then I do really enjoy the spray hand sanitizer. It has such a good smell. It's kind of a minty smell. Not a huge alcohol smell like a lot of the other ones. It actually smells really, really good. These products are exceptional, exceptional quality. They were so kind to offer my friends, my subscribers 50% off using the code here on the screen. I will put the link down in the description box. All you have to do is click the link and it will automatically apply the 50% off. It's a great way to try out a few of the reserve products. And I truly am loving all of them. You know, I like adding supplements to my routine, because it makes me feel better and it gives me all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients that my body needs. So don't forget to use the link down in the description box for 50% off. Mommy has to go work. Do you guys need a treat? You need a treat, buddy? I have a feeling your brother is not gonna get out of bed. Sit. Good girl. There you go. Pumpkin, can you sit? Good boy, buddy. And Diesel, no way he's getting up for this. Diesel, do you want your treats? Mommy has to go. Here. There you go, bud. It's snowed again today. This is another reason why we're moving to Arizona. I don't know if you can see, but my own sign is in my own yard. I am off to go show some houses in the snowy cold weather. I have two houses to show and one more stop to make. Since we're moving, we actually cleaned out a lot of things. We've sold a lot of things on Facebook Marketplace and I'm meeting a girl who's buying one of my Doonie and Burke purses. My mom gave it to me and it's more my mom's style than my style. So I'm selling it and I'm meeting her at a coffee shop kind of on my way home from the house showings. So that'll be nice. We've been able to make enough money selling off things we won't need in Arizona. Like our riding lawnmowers, our snowblower, our fertilizer. We don't have grass. We don't need any of those lawn care type of things. We've been able to sell enough to pay for our entire move, which has been great because it is not cheap to move cross country. Not at all. I mean, thousands and thousands of dollars. So we've been able to make enough to pay all of that. So we're super grateful for that. I'll do my best to show you guys the houses keep you updated on whether or not my clients like the houses. It is currently at 10 30 in the morning. I have not eaten since breakfast, but I did bring a snack with me. So I'll flip you around, show you the snack. It may end up being my morning snack and lunch because I don't know when I'm going to get home today, but I'll show you what I brought along with a bottle of water and this will at least tide me over. So I brought that private selection snack board that I picked up in this last week's grocery haul. It has almonds, little chocolate wafers, cheese and meat. It has 14 grams of protein, 280 calories. And of course, I'll put the points here on the screen for you. I don't know if I'll just wait and eat a little snack or something when I get home before dinner. We'll just have to see how the day plays out. I wasn't able to film at the first house because the clients were already there. But this blue house is the one that we're going to be looking at next. They liked the first house. This one's in a nice area in another part of town, but nonetheless, a really nice area. So we'll see what they think. Alright, I am headed home. They actually liked the first house better. They had two others that they were going to do a drive by as we like to call it and check out the area in the house. So we may be looking at some more we may be writing an offer tonight. But if anything, I think they're going to be gravitating towards the first one.  So I'm doing pretty good. I may have another snack before dinner. I'll definitely let you know if I do, but I have a little bit of cleaning that I want to do. I actually got a new handheld vacuum. I'll show it to you guys. It's awesome. Like it's super awesome. So when I get home, I need to vacuum Palmer stairs and really I should vacuum out my car. Where's my welcome committee? I want to share with you guys this vacuum that I was telling you about. This is from the brand VAC life. And this is a rechargeable cordless vacuum. I'm really excited about this for my car for in the house. It has lots of attachments. I'll tell you guys a little bit more about it. I want to see how good this works. So I'm actually going to vacuum Palmer's little stairs that he uses to get into our bed because they just get full of hair and dirt. So let's test it out. No Palmer. You have to attack the vacuum. Oh my gosh, this works so good. Wow, it's picking up everything. Hey, hey, no no Palmer, leave it as alone, buddy. Look at how good those look. Hey, your stairs are all clean. Mr. Yes, they are. Wow, that worked really, really good. Can you see all the dirt in there?  Now I kind of want to try it out in my car. I'm going to put on the little attachment that we can use to get in the crevices and let's go try this in the car. Okay, no judgment on the car here but I want to use that attachment. I can't believe how fantastic this vacuum works. And this attachment fits really nicely in all those little crevices and I'm able to really get under my feet with it as well. Yeah, this is fantastic and get under all my pedals and even your feet. So here is the filter and has dog hair, dust and then look at how much I have in the bottom here. Super easy to clean. You just hit the button to remove the tank, pull out the filter and empty it out. So I want to tell you a little bit more about the VacLife cordless vacuum. I will list it down below the link. Any discounts, discount codes, links, everything will be down in the description box for you but I will tell you, spoiler alert, it's super, super affordable. It's cordless and portable. It is cord-free and hassle-free which gives you super convenience when it comes to cleaning whether it's your car, your house or in my case Palmer stairs. It deep cleans. It has a lot of suction power and a really long battery life. You can actually use it for two hours on a single charge. It comes with professional attachments with two different attachments to better meet your cleaning needs. There's the brush and then the one that I use to really get in between small areas and crevices like in my car. It also comes with an additional filter if you need to swap that out once it gets too dirty. It does have an LED light which I think is really cool and that's helpful for cleaning dark areas and corner cleaning. You can turn it on to light up the place that you're trying to clean making your work much easier and they do have customer service if you have any questions or concerns or need to exchange or return the product. It's about two and a half to three hours to charge the vacuum up which is not bad at all and that gives you at least 20 minutes of usage and as you saw it works really, really well.  I was able to get under the pedals in my car, under my seat, in the crevice in my seat so this attachment is one we'll get a ton of use out of. So really, really impressed with the back life handheld vacuum. Again I'll link it down below with all of the information and discounts for you but definitely grab one. It's a nice portable vacuum. So I just got home and filled up my water bottle and it reminded me to share this product with you guys. I bought this on Amazon. I've had it for a while now and I have really been liking this. This is the Protein X Hydralized Liquid Protein. It comes in a ton of different flavors. I have the watermelon. It has 18 grams of protein in 72 calories and that is in two tablespoons. So what I usually do in a 20 ounce water bottle is I put one tablespoon. So I'm getting nine grams of protein and it also flavors my water watermelon which is great because it makes me drink a little bit more water and it's a healthier water alternative at least sweetener wise, ingredient wise than those water enhancers. So I have been loving this. I'll make sure that I link it down below for you guys. You can pick any of the flavors. I have only tried the watermelon but it lasts forever. I've had it for several months and I put it in my water usually one to two times per day. So I wanted to share that with you guys. I'm also going to grab a quick snack before dinner. I'm going to have a bag of my quest protein chips. These are the Loaded Taco. I love these. This is the only quest chip I like and these are delicious. I bought these a couple weeks ago in my grocery haul and I haven't even had any yet. They have 19 grams of protein and four net carbs. So between the 19 grams in my chips and then the nine grams in my water I have about 28 grams of protein in my snack which is perfection. Moving update. A lot of you are asking to see kind of the process as we pack up and get ready to move. So we have sold a lot of things on Facebook marketplace, lots of furniture, lots of random things and we've just started packing. We're still waiting for the inspection on our new house in Arizona to be finalized and until that happens we're just a little leery and cautious about packing but we did end up selling the gray sectional that was in this living room. This is the furniture we're actually taking with us to our new house. We're also keeping our kitchen table and we've started really cleaning out some of the other rooms that we don't use that often. I've actually started cleaning my office. You can see that my eyeshadow pellets are already packed away. I've cleaned off the shelving. I've cleaned off some of the shelf other than what is seen in my videos. I've also mainly cleaned out the closet in my office. I'm just slowly but surely packing that up. The bed and table and lamp and everything we had in this room we sold as well. So we have a system here where we're packing up in one bag, a lot of clothes that we're keeping. We also have the items that we're selling, our suitcases, all of that that we're keeping.  I've started taking everything off the walls in the spare bedroom too. I just haven't taken down the large picture. So my next step is to pack up all the small stuff, the more decorative stuff in this office. We also cleaned out this closet and started to organize it. We are keeping all the blankets for packing but we've cleaned out the whole bottom of this closet as well. So we're getting rid of everything that we aren't going to need in our new house including our riding lawnmowers, our snowblower, our generator, all the things that we use here that we won't be using there because we don't have any grass and like I mentioned that's really helping us pay for our move so it's been really good to get rid of that. Next up is my closet clean out so I'll take you guys along with me on that for sure and then of course once I move we'll do some shopping and I'll take you with me there. A lot of you in the comments of my life update video said that you would love to see more vlogs so I'm definitely planning on that. I'll incorporate some what I eat in a days with the vlogs. We'll buy some new clothes. I'll take you guys with me when we're shopping for home decor for our new house and all the things. So you'll get to see Arizona as we see Arizona and it was a renowned yes for me to vlog our trip down there. We are driving with our dogs. I'll give you guys a complete update on that probably in next week's what I eat in a day but I'll vlog the entire thing, show you how I stay on track, how I make good food choices and of course the states and cities that we pass through so you all wanted the vlog so you'll get the vlog. For dinner tonight we are having Tater Tot chicken pot pie casserole. We are pairing together some of my favorite foods chicken pot pie and tater tots so let me show you what's in our recipe.  You can either use ground chicken like I am or you can use chicken tenders or chicken breast whatever you prefer. My ground chicken is from Imperfect Foods. Don't forget about Imperfect Foods. I'll link it down below with $20 worth of free groceries, no minimum order. Just take your $20 worth of groceries and run so I'll link that down below. You'll need some light shredded cheese and some milk. So to get started you're going to need quite a large pot because everything pretty much goes into this pot so I'm going to add one quarter cup of light butter, the diced up onion, both cans of cream of chicken soup, half of a cup of milk and for seasonings we'll need garlic powder. I didn't even pull those out in the beginning but you will need some garlic powder, salt and pepper. Give that a quick stir. We're going to cook this over medium heat until it is heated through. Also in a skillet I'm going to cook down my pound of ground chicken. You would also want to cook your chicken breast and shred that as well. Once it is warmed through go ahead and turn off the heat and we're going to add half of this large bag of vegetables about 16 ounces. We're also going to add in one and a half cups of light shredded cheese which is what is left in my bag. Give that another quick stir. I added the cooked ground chicken in with the rest of the pot pie mixture. Stirred that in really well. This looks delicious. I have a 9 by 13 baking dish here that I sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I'm going to go ahead and add in the mixture. Spread that out nice and even in the bottom of the baking dish. Now we're going to top it with the entire bag of frozen tater tots. If you want to lower the points you can always add less tater tots to the top but honestly Troy is going to be the one eating the majority of this.  It is going into the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until heated through and our tater tots are nice and crispy. Dinner is out of the oven. Let me just tell you how delicious this looks and how amazing this smells. Let me go ahead and get this plated up and I'll be back to share points and calories. So here is my dinner. Doesn't this look amazing? Chicken pot pie paired with tater tots. Yes please. I will go ahead and put points and calories serving size here on the screen for you but this is dinner. For dessert we're keeping it simple. I'm going to exceed my protein goal for today. I'm having one of the ratio strawberry yogurts. These are so good. 25 grams of protein. They're creamy. They're sweet. They are one of my very favorite yogurts and just a great way to get in lots and lots of protein so that is my dessert for tonight. So that's a wrap on today's What I Eat in a Day on WW. I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today sharing all of my really good foods, some new recipes and that dinner you need to make that dinner. It was absolutely delicious. You will find that recipe on my recipe website. It is linked down in the description box along with nutrition coaching.

Healthy people are dying in hospitals. Every year globally, more than 4.8 million people die from preventable causes. Preventable deaths in hospitals are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. behind heart disease and cancer. And this problem isn't just measured in human lives. The social cost of in-hospital adverse events is estimated to be between 18 and 45 cents of every dollar spent on U.S. health care. That means of the 3.5 trillion dollars spent on health care in 2017, medical errors account for 1.44 trillion. This all may feel unsettling, but there is hope. We are the patient safety movement. And we've made a commitment to drop the number of patient deaths by preventable causes to zero by 2020 by unifying the health care ecosystem and implementing a commitment-based movement, actionable patient safety solutions, and an ecosystem for predictive algorithms through data sharing. We can together eliminate preventable deaths and dramatically reduce the cost of health care worldwide. Last year, we reported 81,533 lives saved by committed hospitals. And this year, we're excited to report that 90,146 lives have been saved by hospitals that have taken action. And with your help, we can get to zero. But we must act quickly, as we're going to need everyone to lead us to zero. We're going to need policymakers to create incentives for change, health care technology companies to sign the open data pledge, and health care providers to implement proven processes such as APSS to save lives so that patients survive and families don't have to mourn their loved ones. Your commitment could make all the difference for her family, his family, their family, and your family. This is more than a mission. It's a commitment-based movement. Commit today so people can live tomorrow.


There is always good that's waiting for you down the line. The question is, are you waiting to receive it or are you sitting there with your hands out waiting for something bad to happen to you? And today we're going to talk about how to stop worrying and stop thinking that something bad is going to happen to you. And this came from a conversation that I had in one of my coaching groups. And one of the people that was inside the coaching group said, you know, and everything's going well. Like this is a crazy thing. He's talking about how everything's going well. Like his business is going so well. This is the biggest year that they've ever had. He's like my relationship with my wife is going so well. My kids freaking love me. We've been traveling. Everything's going amazing. And I just still get this deep feeling that something's about to up. And we started having this conversation and as we started having this conversation, there's other people who are in this coaching group as well. We're like, oh my God, I feel the exact same way. I feel bad because this year was bad for a lot of people, but it was so good for me. When am I going to get mine? Like they're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Who like, like it's this weird universal law that if things go well for a while, you're going to get punched in the face at some point in time. Who, who said that? Like, where did that come from? I think it comes from the deep internal fears of always looking for something to go wrong or something that is bad as a way of survival. And that's what our brain looks for. So it's like, oh my God, good, good, good, good, good.   And we're constantly looking for the next tiger to come out and attack us. No matter how well it's going or how bad it's going, it seems like we're always waiting for the next thing to come kick us in the crotch, right? And so do you secretly worry that something bad is going to come up for you? You know, I hear a lot of people, I'm not a parent yet. I will be one day and I hope I don't do this. But I hear a lot of parents that do this where they'll be watching their children sleep.  They have all of the love chemicals, the oxytocin, the serotonin, all of them just flowing through their body. And they're like, this thing, I love this thing, this child so much. What would I ever do if I lost them? And it's like this, this beautiful moment of just being in the state of just absolute love. But they think to themselves, I hope I don't ever lose him. I hope there's nothing tragic that happens. I hope they stay healthy forever. I hope that they don't ever die before me. I'm going to ask you this question and I want to be honest with yourself because this is a rhetorical question because I can't hear you because I'm talking to a microphone. But have you ever done that before?  I hope I don't stop. I hope she doesn't ever leave me. I hope she doesn't ever find out who I truly am and then she won't love me. Have you ever been in that situation before where you're just like, please don't let the next thing happen and we're just waiting for the shoe to drop? If you're doing that, the worst part about that is that if you're starting to think about a potential future that doesn't even truly exist, it's just something that you're making up in your head, you're literally pulling yourself from one of the most beautiful present moments that you could have in your life and you're destroying it. You're literally the most present you could be with that child when you're thinking about that love. You're literally the most present you could be with this person when you're thinking about that love and then your brain immediately goes to, I hope that this doesn't get taken from me. And that's one of the hardest parts about love is that love, the person that we love, could go and leave us at some point in time. There could be something tragic that could happen to them at some point in time. And so we almost pull back the love that we have in fear that something could happen to them. Once again, it's waiting for the other shoe to drop is a phrase that people always talk about, something bad is coming. Things have been going well for so long. And some people have had your, when is my you're going to come? And we hold ourselves back from our potential. And once again, it's like, it's like the law of the universe. Like it's got to happen sometimes. Like that's what people actually feel like. There's every time I hear someone talking about potential, terrible future outcome, it's always like, it's got to happen. As almost like it's, it's definitely a thing that's happening in the future. So why do people feel this way? Why is it that we feel this way? Where does it come from? Like, is it, it has to be something that we've learned a little bit has to be something that also is part of our nature and inside of our brain. It's nature and nurture as well. But it comes from a scarcity mindset that there is not enough good to go around all of the time. Where did we learn that? When did you ever find out that there's not enough good to go around all of the time? Why does it have to go bad? Why can't it be great forever? It's like when people say, oh, you're taking three steps forward and one step back, like life is just three steps forward, two steps back or two steps forward, three steps back. And there's always like a, a forward and in the back and then a forward and in the back and the forward and in the back. And the thing about that is that it's all perception in that situation. It is all perception. The back, the quote unquote back that you feel is all perception. What seems like a step back could just be a redirection in the correct way that you should be going. That's really what it is. It's a detour on the path that you're trying to go to. It is the universe in some sort of way saying, hey, dude, maybe it's time to pivot. Like this isn't the actual path. Let me move you just a slight bit so that you can make sure that you're going the right path. That's really what it should be. The way I like to think about it is, is I've been practicing a lot in my backyard with a bow and arrow, right? I have a compound bow and I have a target that's in the back. Whenever I shoot that thing, it is, there is no way, there's no way in physics that I can get that thing, that bow, that arrow to fly forward unless I pull that bow back. So if a redirection doesn't necessarily hit home with you and you're not like, oh yeah, maybe it's not a redirection.  Cause just like an arrow, the arrow is not going to go anywhere unless you pull it back and then let go. Here's the interesting thing about it as well though. The further that you pull it back, the more tension that there is on the string, the further it's going to fly. And so sometimes these momentary quote unquote setbacks actually are something that we need to propel us further into the future. We can all agree and we've talked about this, I don't know, countless times in the podcast where if something happens to you that is quote unquote bad in your past, when you're going through it, it doesn't feel amazing.  Those lessons are the things that are given to you by the universe to then propel you. And so maybe it's not a step back, maybe it's just a new lesson for you. Maybe it's a lesson so that you can make a little bit of a shift in your life to start to actually change what's going on. What if it's just a pivot? But really what it comes down to is what you're focusing on the most. So what are you focusing on? When you go through your day, are you focusing on what you're afraid of? Are you focusing on what you don't want to happen? I had an event a few months ago that was in Mexico. One of the women that was at the event came up to me after the first day and she's like, Rob, I had this massive breakthrough today and I was like, cool, what was that breakthrough? She goes, I've realized that I've, my entire life, I've almost never focused on what I want. I focus on what I don't want. And I go, how's that working for you? And she goes, I get a whole lot of what I don't want. I'm like, I know.  And so if we're focusing on what we're afraid of, we're gonna get more things to be afraid of. If we're focusing on all of the bad that we don't want to have in our life, we're going to actually attract that bad into our life. And so if you're focusing on those things, you're going to get those things. I've used this example before too. But there was one time there was, it really hit home with me when I was oddly enough, going go-karting from one of my friend's birthdays. And we have a track here in Austin. There's a guy who used to be an F1 driver. He literally drove like in Lamar. He drove all of the kinds of crazy cool things that he did. And he was a French guy. And he was funny and he was all laughing and making us laugh the whole time. He was talking to us about the carts that went like 50 miles an hour. They were crazy fast. This mile long track that he had. He was making jokes and then he got really freaking serious. And it was like the energy of the room shifted. And he goes, there will be a crash at some point in time. When there is a crash, do not look at the crash. Look past the crash to where you want to go. And then everyone kind of chuckle a bit. He's like, no, this is the most serious thing I can tell you. Do not look at the person who crashes. Look past it. Because if you look at it, you will absolutely hit it. And that's exactly how life is. Whatever you're looking at, you're aiming it. If you go back to the bow and arrow example, if you're looking at something, that's the thing that you're going to hit. So are you looking at the bad? Are you looking at what you're afraid of? Are you looking at your deepest darkest fears, your insecurities?  It's the same exact thing with motorcycles. I've never driven a motorcycle but I do know this from friends who ride motorcycles. When we've talked about it, is you are taught when you go through a turn to look at where you want to go. You don't look at the ground of where your motorcycle currently is. You look at where you want to go because when you look at where you want to go, you will lean in to where you want to go. Just makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, when you're shooting a basketball, you're not looking at the basketball. What are you looking at? Where are you trying to shoot the basketball?  But for some reason, our brain just automatically goes to what we don't want. And if you continue to look at what you don't want, you're going to get more of what you don't want. And so how can you wake up every single day and focus on the things that you do want to look at them as if you are an archer? I went and shot my bow and arrow today. I was at the range, right? And there's a little, we're 25 yards away and there's a little teeny tiny, it's like an inch and a half white circle. There is nothing else that I'm looking at. Everything else kind of blurs away and I stare at the white circle because if I look at anything else, I'm not going to hit the white circle. The white circle is in the center of the target. All of the rest of the entire target is black. And if I'm trying to hit it, shouldn't I look at the thing? Like that would make sense.  So what are you focusing on most? That's an important thing to ask yourself.  But what if you're never worried about something going wrong? How, how weird would that feel? Like be honest for a second, you just never actually worried about anything going wrong. If you just believe that God or the universe or your own personal power is going to make it happen, it's going to, it's going to get you to pay the bills. It's going to create the life that you want.  It's just going to happen. What if you woke up every single day with that confidence of I'm going to get what I want? And the reason why I'm going to get what I want is because every morning when I wake up, I write my goals down. I write them down. Even if I wrote them down the day before, the day before, the day before, the day before, I write my goals down every single day.  How could I possibly hit that target if I'm not looking at it? How can I possibly hit my goals unless I'm waking up every single day and focusing on those goals as if I was trying to hit that target? I'm focusing on it because that is my target. I'm focusing on it because that's where I'm going. I'm focusing on it because I know that if I put all of my energy into that thing, I'm going to get it. And it's exactly the same for you.  And so if you're looking at what you don't want, you're going to get what you don't want.  And if you're going, oh man, I'm just always poor, I'm just always broke. We all have that friend that always talks about how broke they are all the time. They're focusing on it. And guess what? I have friends like that that have been, you know, friends since high school that have talked about how broke they are. I graduated high school, what year are we in? I graduated high school, it's been forever. 15 years ago, coming up on 15 years, I have a friend who's a great friend in high school. He's a great friend in college and he always talked about how broke he is. And every single time I see him, at some point in time, I know he's going to talk about how broke he is. And guess what? He's still freaking struggling. Why? Because he's literally setting himself up for struggle every single day because that's what he's focusing on. And so if he were to wanna make an adjustment, he would just go, I'm gonna make money this year. I'm gonna make money this year. I'm gonna make money this year. And he would start to journal every single day and guess what would happen? His ideas would come out. His ideas would come out. His energy would start focusing on going into the direction that he wants versus what he doesn't want. And really what he would do is he would start to shift his mindset. This entire episode is about shifting your mindset to waiting for something good to happen at all points in time. There is always good that's waiting for you down the line. There's always good that's waiting for you down the line. But it's always just sitting there waiting to give it to you. The question is, are you waiting to receive it? Or are you sitting there with your hands out waiting for something bad to happen to you? Whatever you focus on, you will get. There is no bad that's coming for you. There is only good that's coming for you but you have to set your sights on that thing every single day the same way that you're only gonna hit that target when you see the target. The question is, what target are you focusing on? Hey, thanks so much for watching this video. If you wanna learn even more about Master Your Mind, click right here and watch this video as well.

okay it just happens to be Saturday afternoon June the 29th 2013 yes you heard it right June the 29th already how about that is it is busting out all over isn't it amazing how fast the weeks the weeks and the months fly and what's even more amazing is how quick the seasons seem to go by hey that I just that was more I didn't even try to rhyme that just that rhymes you know it's more amazing what how old I keep getting you're right about that and speaking of how old people keep getting that you don't expect to get old because they're so youthful their mentality it is just so youthful and and vibrant and full of vigor and energy and yeah energy energy vitality Ellen vital yes and and when it comes to dealing with Republicans vinegar to not just vim and vigor but vinegar you know but what I'm but I'm like bitters what I'm getting yeah bitters Angus Angus store of bitters yeah Angus store of bitters the Liberty Bells the Liberty Bells are are doing well right mr. V for vendetta anonymous right it's my buddy now I got all kinds of buttons I got Billy Junior the self-portrait water color Billy Junior here to my left I got mr. Anonymous to my right I got all glory and the Jolly Roger representing the pirate radio network and representing the underground movement and back of me I mean come on and how about my research folders research yeah research oh to that jerk yeah to that jerk off on YouTube doesn't have a very better get glasses that called us hoarders whoa and and said that we have junk that's not junk that's loaded with data my friend research folders didn't mention anything about the content of the show just criticized where we do the show but did not mention anything about the content of the show and of course he did he did not subscribe to newsletter censored so at least contributes he's able to criticize but he criticizes where we do it now I mean contribute something positive or even negative yeah about the content like Al Sharpton says friend or foe I want to know hey I like that he said that yes he did friend or foe I want to know that's true knowing when you send them an email you're right to friend or foe I want to you're right to be heard and you're right to hear and be heard and to hear the real truth whether they be an angel a demon a scumbag or a sweetheart no matter what they are or a sycophant or a sycophant which is the word of the day and I will get into that later but anyway let me get through with the formalities of course the weather people like I told Billy Morrill this week perfect job the perfect career to have is to be a weather person because you can be wrong every day and you get paid a lot of money for looking cute all dressed up smiling yeah some of those weather girls are pretty damn cute on the latin stations have you ever checked out the latin weather report they got the girls with the big breasts and the cleavage showing and the hot bodies oh yeah and they're very pretty oh yeah yeah no no freeze ginger z raisins or new ones ratings ratings ratings ratings but anyway in the old days we had watching what's that guy with a puppet Lloyd Lindsay young no no he had a puppet or something a ball-headed puppet he was the weatherman oh that was good wait I must have been before my time well maybe but the Jeepers creepers you know in those days the weather was just you know an adjunct thing it was not a big deal the weather is the weather what can be taken finger out the window and it's a it's gonna rain you know the wind is blowing listen whatever like the emperor of the planet Vulcan said to pow she had like a Jewish accent she said the weather is the weather but can be done about the weather remember when spark was fighting Kirk yeah he had the blood the blood the blood fever fever yes yes he had to spawn he had to spawn every seven years every seven years back to Vulcan and bones McCoy gave him the triox compound took to simulate death I wonder if that exists triox compound that's not a speaking like dilute like dilithium crystals right speaking of Star Trek yeah I saw that thing and I shared it also on it Facebook what we'd Kirk oh in the in the corner the young lady in a corridor there you know like she's given him a blow job and bone said I saw that episode was she given I forget why the hell she was me was she given him a blow job no no no no gene rod rod and Barry rod and Barry would not put that in any of his episodes because he couldn't put it I don't know if he would put it out if he could I mean what would a wood factor change you know it would just would chuck wood well you know Spock I mean the shows were kind of low budget back then what I had to be but it's amazing how they became legendary content content content there you go like the honeymooners same thing super low budget you saw the when they were on location they weren't really on location they had like a mural of a street and the honeymooners with fake fake street lamps and fake buildings but it was people didn't care it was the honeymooners you know like but these idiot I said to that guy you must be a right-wing flamer in disguise for the first thing he does is he gives us compliments about being progressive but then after that he just chops us down for nitpicky stupid things now let me get the formalities over with here by the way it didn't cool down all that much because but it's not 90 degrees it's like 84 but the humidity is still high oh speaking of people that totally shock you when they when they mentioned their age and they don't look their age at all Johnny Depp had a birthday very very recently he's 50 years old so happy birthday Johnny Depp and I know Johnny Depp plays tanto and that new new long ranger baby coming out in July or is going out now that crow sitting on top I have no idea what that stupid thing is that a stuffed bird I never saw a tanto with something like that you know who decided to put a dead crow on top of tanto's head a raven is that stuff there's that a real bird no idea the trailer is a lot of action and it moves very fast yeah so you can't really focus on it fantastic actor of course you know it's a Disney movie right like Pirates of the Caribbean Caribbean I think it's made by Disney I could be wrong a great actor the read maybe the reason why Johnny Depp looks so young is that he lives in in France he doesn't live in the United States so he's not absorbing all these toxins that we have in the United States but he looked great I mean really for 50 years old Johnny Depp look great well in Monsanto to control our food and poisoners isn't it funny how the US media is not broadcasting all the massive protesting that's going on around the world against Monsanto and against corporate elitists yeah what the hell is it oh geez North Carolina North Carolina every Monday they have moral Monday oh no and yeah they're there because of the governor and the Republican legislature who keep coming up with all these bills to get rid of teachers and firemen and policemen oh they want they want they want to get rid of teachers and firemen also yeah so it's not just because paid for by the government so it's not just Chris Christie no these were these Republicans this is their agenda across the board you know people you know they got the Illuminati the Council on Foreign Relations right it's center of these secret meetings and stuff like that yeah well the Republicans have that too they meet and they have an agenda like the Bilderbergs they have secret meetings they have an agenda and that is to shrink government down to nothing now now when they privatize education is it a true that only the rich kids will ask what they won't be able to get a good education what you know that's how it is right now a dollar spent on education for the poor the rich spend so much more for it I'm gonna that's how it was back in the days of the kings I'm going to say it's such a rather I'm going to say something about that I don't I don't have I only have one topic as far as my my initial monologue goes I don't have everything that's been going on with the Supreme Court and don't know no we'll know we'll we'll get into it as the show progresses but I want to say something and get off my chest because of something that happened recently I will not mention any names read my lips I will not mention anyone's name for those of you that are nuts and neurotic and paranoid and misinterpret what you hear or read I'm not mentioning anyone's names normally I do but in this case I think it's wise not but let me get done with the formalities I am going to formally pipe aboard my illustrious co-host and mentor for this show which is progressive discussions welcome to progressive discussions I'm your host James P. Madonna of mega life 21 the hardest hitting internet talk radio station on the planet and I am here at the newsletter censored research center in northeast New Jersey and this show as well as all of our shows are FCC and corporate free and we don't owe anybody and anything we're not controlled by anyone no entity it's total free form hard-hitting broadcasting at its finest so if that man wants to criticize where we do to show and say something like well you should be in a super expensive state-of-the-art professional studio like others have said once in a big while well guess what if you're in an expensive state-of-the-art studio it costs a lot of money therefore you must find sponsors if you find sponsors to pay a salary to the broadcasters and to provide that studio then the sponsors tell you what to say what not to say there's no free form uncensored FCC FCC free media any longer you have the corporate entity from the sponsors pretty much censoring you and that's not what we're about so we do what we do for a reason to maintain the freedom and the real hard-hitting truth so I'm gonna pipe aboard my co-host and mentor and the founder of newsletter censored in 1977 which is the backbone of our entire organization welcome aboard our progressive liberal starship mr.


The internet is revolutionizing every industry, and the world of ideas is no different. I'm Steve Patterson. I'm a philosopher working outside of academia, and you may have come across my work with Patterson in Pursuit, which is a weekly podcast where I'm traveling the world, interviewing different intellectuals about really big ideas. You may have come across my work on YouTube where I'm releasing videos like this, or some of my articles online, or you may have read my first book on philosophy, Square One, The Foundations of Knowledge. None of this work is produced thanks to a university system. It's all made possible from supporters like you online who value the work that I'm doing. I'm convinced that the future of intellectual progress will not come from people who are working within the academic establishment. It's going to come from people outside the academy who can work online without any of the pressures to conform to the ideas and the standards of your peers in academia. There's a new world out there, the wild west of ideas, and we're smack in the middle of it. And because I'm outside of the system, my work doesn't have to be hyper-specialized, doesn't have to be really jargonistic in a way that virtually nobody can understand. My goal is to discover truth and then to communicate it as clearly as possible for those individuals who care. Now what that means is I can cover work from philosophy and metaphysics and epistemology and logic to mathematics, to critical thinking about social problems and economics and politics. My work covers all of these areas with the same lens that I'm trying to break apart the truth in any given field and analyze it based on its principles. And if you value that, then this is your opportunity to show your support and make this voice a little bit louder. With this show and the work that I'm doing, I also don't have to pretend to be an idle bystander where I just humbly comment on the ideas of other people and I just don't know anything about anything. No, I've been working on these ideas for more than a decade. I've got, I think, a lot of conclusions. I want to put my ideas to the test. And I'm not shy about communicating to you, putting my ideas out there to say, hey look, this is what I've discovered. This is why I think it's true. What do you think? Is this right or is it wrong? So if you like this style of communication and if you like the idea of analyzing big ideas in a straightforward and honest manner in ways that everybody can understand, then please become a patron of the show where you can contribute a dollar or two every time a new article or a podcast or video is released. And if you have more means, then, of course, feel free to donate more. If you do, you get all kinds of good perks. So every level of support gets a free copy of all the books that I've written and all the books that I'll write in the future. Right now that includes what's the big deal about Bitcoin if you're interested in Bitcoin, and square one the foundations of knowledge. And you also get access to a private Facebook group which is filled with other patrons who are also trying to discover truth together.  So if you value the work that I'm doing and the worldview that I'm trying to create based on foundational principles and rationality and the universality of logic, this is your opportunity to support that worldview and make it that much louder.


Crossings are extraordinarily important in the fight against COVID. Life has changed a little bit for everybody. It's the same for us when we finish our shift we go home. We're not allowed to leave our home except for essential purposes either. Not policemen, my angels. Just the way the world works. Been looking forward to this moment for the last 18 months, haven't I? Chaos's actions on the night can only be described as complete bravery. Wow, what a year it has been. Thank you Queensland for working with us to get through such a challenging year. From the entire Queensland Police Service, we wish you and your family a very happy 2021.


I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a leader in the world today, with things moving more quickly, greater disruption. The other day I was riding the car with my son, and both sons are drummers, and I was talking to my eldest son about a song that is particularly difficult on the drums. We're listening to Welcome to Paradise by Green Day. And I was asking him, why is this song so difficult? And part of it is the pace or the cadence of the song. The second part is the complexity of the drumming. Now what I've always wondered about is how drummers do it. They're using two hands and two feet almost all the time. So one foot's on the kick drum, the other's on the hi-hat, and then the hands are doing the drums as they do the song. It seems like a miracle to me that anyone can do that all at once. But it dawned on me. That's what's being asked of leaders today. In the past, I think leadership was like managing the kick drum and one drum at the same time. You had to hit growth and profit, and you were good if you did both. Today as the world, and it was actually relatively slow, today as the world speeds up, the cadence, the speed of the song is continually getting faster. But at the same time, you need to be playing with two hands and two feet, at least, to deal with growth, profit, inclusion, community impact, sustainability, and a list of other things that people are looking for from companies and from leaders. So as a leader, one of the key elements is how do I get myself into the space to play in that complexity? So I asked my son, what is it that enables you to do that? And he said there's two things. One is to actually focus on parts of the song. So get very good. He calls them rudiments, I guess they're called rudiments, which you start to build a capacity within yourself, a pattern within yourself, so that you can do the complexity unconsciously. And it's broken down into rudiments. So you have to practice over and over and over. The second part is he said you can think about nothing else, you have to be in the song. One of the principles I've talked about here before is be here now, being fully present in the moment. So part of the power of navigating that world is being fully present. The second part is to figure out what those elements are that you need to be better and better at to navigate that world and treat them like these rudiments. Practice, practice again, practice again until they are natural. So I wish you the best of luck navigating that world and I'll talk to you soon.


Thank you for joining us today on our new session as part of the GUESI webinar series. As you know, or for those joining us for the first time, the GUESI webinar series serves as a platform for the GUESI network members to share experience and expertise and evidence synthesis and to learn about potential collaborations. My name is Tamara Lutri. I'm the coordinator for the GUESI secretariat and I'll be moderating the session today. Before we begin, if you're using GoToWebinar for the first time, as you might have noticed, you are automatically muted as soon as you've signed up. So if you would like to submit any comment or question, please use the tab on the right. If you'd like to make the comment and address our presenter directly, you can use the raise your hand button and then we can unmute you so that you can discuss directly with our presenter. Our session is part of our webinar series on stakeholder engagement and environmental evidence synthesis. Our session today is on a five-step approach for stakeholder engagement and prioritization and planning of environmental evidence synthesis. And our presenter is Brianna Makura. Brianna is a colleague of ours, a friend of ours, and we're very happy to have her with us today. She is a research fellow at Stockholm Environmental Institute and environmental social scientists with the main research focus on the provision of robust evidence for decision making in environmental policy and practice. Brianna is conducting systematic evidence synthesis in the field of environmental management and working on the improvement of systematic review methods in the same field. She is a co-creator of ROSES, which stands for Reporting Standards for Systematic Use in Environmental Field and Editorial Monitor of the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence Journal Environmental Evidence. Thank you, Brianna, for joining us today. Thank you, Dan. So in a few seconds, we'll be able to see your slides. Yes. Yes, looks great. Perfect. So should I start with a talk? Yes. Would you like us to launch the poll first? No, I will let you know. OK, great. OK. So sorry about this. So hello everyone. As thanks Tamara for the introduction, as Tamara already mentioned, I will today hopefully give you an interesting overview of an approach that we were using in a project I was involved a couple of years ago in. And this is approach for stakeholder engagement in prioritization and planning of environmental evidence synthesis. OK, so this is just an overview of how this webinar will look like. First, I will give you a little bit of introduction to stakeholder engagement. Then I will try to introduce stakeholder engagement approach and give you some examples. Then I will share the challenges, the lessons we learned while applying this approach and also provide some recommendations. And finally, hopefully we will have some time at the very end to discuss and clarify things that you would like to know more about the approach I'm going to present. OK, so first to get us into the right kind of thinking, I would like you to answer a poll question and I would like you to tell me whether you have ever attempted to co-create or co-design your research with so-called non-experts. I am interested to know how many people have been engaged in co-creation or co-design processes. OK, so it seems that this webinar is going to be very useful because none of you seem to be engaging in any of the co-creation approaches. So that is great. OK, so let's move on. As you know, systematic reviews and systematic maps are golden standard synthesis methods that try to kind of increase transparency and comprehensiveness and try to minimize the biases during every stage of the review process. These review stages are identification and formulation of the review question, then publishing the review protocol, searching for studies, inclusion of relevant studies, assessing the validity of the studies if you're conducting a systematic review, if you're conducting a systematic map that step is not done, then extraction and synthesis of the findings, then finally writing a review report. However, in order to create a valuable reviews and valuable findings from those reviews for policy and practice, you need to ask a very relevant review questions. This is probably obvious, but also the findings of the review process. The findings of the review need to be recognized as the legitimate evidence. In order to do that, I would argue that engagement with organizations and individuals who use your reviews or affected by the reviews finding has to be done and it's very, very crucial, the engagement process. However, the stakeholder engagement process can be done throughout the whole review process from question formulation to report writing. But today's session and today's focus is actually only on the stakeholder engagement at early stages of the review planning process, at the question formulation and until drafting of the systematic review protocol. Okay, so first of all, I would like us to be on the same page and we'd like to share some definitions of the key concepts. I'm going to use throughout this presentation. So by stakeholder, in this presentation, I mean those who use or may be affected by a review findings and these stakeholders can be researchers, the subject experts, can be practitioners or people who are funding the reviews. They can be representatives of academia, governmental and non-governmental organizations, etc. So this is a very broad, as you can see, definition of a stakeholder. When it comes to the stakeholder engagement, I would like to define it as a bi-directional relationship between the stakeholder and the researcher that results in informed decision-making about certain stages of the review process and the review findings. Okay, so I will present your approach for early stakeholder engagement, but I will present that approach in a case example. As I already mentioned, this is a project that I've been involved in and this project is called Evidence-Based Environmental Management or EVM and it's funded by Swedish Research Strategic Environmental Funding. It was funded from 2012 to 2018, so the project has finished, but more information can be found in the link provided. It was, EVM was conducting reviews relevant, but not restricted to the Swedish context and these reviews were about environmental management and the aim of... Viljana, we can't... ...finally, yes? Yeah, we can now again. So can you please repeat the slide? This slide. Yes, so I'm going to show the approach on a case example of EVM, which is a project that was running from 2012 to 2018 and was financed by the Strategic Environmental Council or Foundation. It's called MISTRA. More information is provided on the slide here. So EVM was conducting reviews relevant, but not restricted to the Swedish context and aim was to improve the basis for decisions in Swedish environmental policy and management and it was composed of Executive Committee, methodology expert and was working with an international team of scientific experts. This setup was giving financial and political independence of this body and these reviews that were produced were reviews that can be considered as a public goods because they were produced with a public or general audience in mind. They were produced in an open access and they were not produced just because one party was requesting that review but was produced in a response to knowledge needs of multiple stakeholders. Okay, so how we were going about systematic reviews in this project and how was this combined with a stakeholder engagement? Well, every systematic review project would start with the implication of knowledge needs by very diverse and large group of stakeholders. These knowledge needs would then be prioritized and framed as review questions that would further be specified and made into systematic review questions. Systematic review would then be conducted by independent review team that was composed of the methodology and subject experts and then once the draft report was produced, stakeholders would be invited again to comment on that draft. Finally, final report would be produced with the final findings and these findings would then feed into the decision support tools. So this is the general context into which this stakeholder engagement approach was applied. Okay, so let's go to the approach to early stakeholder engagement itself. So this approach was done in order to incorporate stakeholder views and opinions in review planning and design. So the first setting up of the review stage. It was composed of the five steps. So identification of the stakeholders and then identification of the policy and practice relevance topics, relevant topics, knowledge needs of stakeholders, then framing and prioritization of the review questions, then establishment of specific scope of a review and then finally would finish with a public review of a draft review protocol. Okay, so this approach is published in 2007 in a special issue on stakeholder engagement and it's available in the link that is presented on this slide. Okay, so remember our evidence synthesis pathway from the beginning. Well, we are now focusing, we are now applying the stakeholder engagement approach just on this first bit of systematic review planning, as I already said. Okay, so how do we start with stakeholder engagement? Obviously, this stakeholder, every stakeholder engagement process starts with the identification of the relevant stakeholders that are going to get involved into the engagement process. This process is the most crucial process because depending on the stakeholders you select, you might have one or different types of the questions you end up reviewing, right? So this identification of relevant stakeholders has to be done very carefully, has to be planned very carefully and it's usually in this case done as a two-stage process. First stage of the identification of the stakeholders is done at the very beginning for the knowledge needs assessment stage. This stakeholder identification is done through the stakeholder analysis. There are many, many methods out there for stakeholder analysis, but this is what stakeholder analysis is about. It's actually about creating a list of stakeholders, just brainstorming, a list of stakeholders that might be affected by your review, that might be involved in your review, that might provide questions for your reviews. So this can include county and municipality administrators, other governmental agencies, funding agencies, NGOs, industry representatives, policymakers at any level. You have to think about a diverse set of stakeholders. Then you would normally describe the roles and responsibilities of each of the stakeholders and try to understand the level of their influence on your review project and how they are linked to the review projects and what are your expectations from them. Based on this, you would then prioritize the stakeholders as high priority, medium priority or low priority, and then decide to engage with a smaller or larger group of the stakeholders. The output of this whole process is a prioritized list of the stakeholders who may describe their knowledge, who may be relevant for you to describe their knowledge needs and propose review topics. Okay, so once we identified relevant stakeholders, we can then invite them for a meeting and we can engage with them and ask them for the needs, for which kind of knowledge needs they have in order to make informed decisions in this case, environmental policy and practice. So we would collect from them policy and practice relevant topics and their concerns that they might have and that might prevent them to make informed decisions in the jobs they are doing and that would be decision making in policy and practice. So as I said, this would be an interaction with a broad range of stakeholders across different sectors and the output of this process would be a list of broad, very broad stakeholder-generated topics and questions. The more detail of this process is described in the paper. And so these topics could be very global, national, all regional, environmental issues, perceived gaps in the evidence-based or simply controversial questions that were, for example, recently discussed in public debates. And you need to understand whether these topics are actually the synthesis gaps or places where there is enough evidence to connect to conduct systematic reviews. Primary search gaps where actually there is no any primary search on certain issue and needs to be, more primary search needs to be done or simply maybe these are translation gaps, a gaps that occur in science policy space where, for example, the knowledge from science is not translated into the policy. So these are all three different types of gaps or knowledge needs that the stakeholders can identify at this stage. So, for example, one of these broad concerns that were brought up by stakeholders during these stakeholder meetings is, for example, what are the reasons for the decline of seabirds in the Baltic Sea region? This is a very broad open-frame question. And if you're conducting systematic reviews, you will know that this question is not specific enough or not reviewable at all. However, this is just the first step in the process. Okay, so once you connect or collect the knowledge needs, then you would have to prioritize and frame better these knowledge needs into reviewable questions. So first you would conduct initial screening of the post topics and a post question at this stage whether these topics are reviewable at all. Is there a need to split them up or narrow them down? And after that, we would conduct a scoping studies of prioritized review topics. And a scoping study is a kind of a quick and dirty overview of the evidence base on a proposed review topic that tries to understand if there are any other systematic or traditional reviews on the topic. Is there sufficient scientific literature on the topic? Is there a need at all for a review on this topic? Are proposed questions at all scientifically meaningful? Are they answerable, conceptually clear, methodologically feasible, etc. But also you would in the scoping study kind of identify stakeholders that would be relevant for that specific review topic. Okay, so this is example of a scoping study that was done in order to understand whether biological control by Basileus of mosquitoes is working or not. Or does it have any effects on targets and non-target organisms and humans? And for example, some of the conclusions of this scoping study was that there is a fairly large number of studies on this topic of biological control of mosquitoes. But there are no reports on occurrence of resistance to BTI and that there is a fairly large number of studies on the effectiveness of BTI treatment in terms of mosquito abundance. And this scoping study proposes that a review may be conducted on this area of effectiveness of BTI treatment and persistence of BTI treatment in the environment. Okay, the other example of scoping study would be the one that was conducted in 2013 on the effects of plastic particles on growth and mortality of marine organisms, for example. This scoping study concluded that there are fewer studies that, only few studies investigated the effects of the exposures to plastic and that there is not maybe at that point of time was not a good moment to conduct a systematic review on the topic. Okay, as I said, apart from conducting scoping study, you would also and kind of identify review topics out of this general knowledge needs that were collected by stakeholders. You would also need to understand what are the stakeholders that will be most interested in this specific review topic. And so in order to do that, we would start from this initial broad stakeholder list and then kind of apply a snowball sampling in order to get more specific names and specific stakeholders that are relevant for proposed systematic review topic or area. And a snowball sampling, however, may entail community bias or overrepresentation of certain stakeholders in their interest. So it's always very recommended to conduct active searches for stakeholders with different or opposing interest in order to kind of combat the community bias. So the output of this process will be a list of stakeholders that are relevant for specific review topic and that can comment on a review scope in the next phase. Okay, so to summarize prioritization of the review question, would entail a scoping study, a list of prioritized review questions that coming out of that scoping study, and a list of review specific stakeholders. If you have several review questions proposed, as was an example in the scoping study on mosquitoes, you would invite key stakeholders to help be prioritized between different review questions. Based on the scoping study and additional stakeholder prioritization, in our case, Evian would invite an independent body, which is an executive committee to make a final decision on the review question. Because obviously time and resources are limited, so additional prioritization and this final decision need to be made by an independent body external to the review team and stakeholders. Okay, so once you decide for a review topic, this review topic might still not be relevant for all the stakeholders, might still be very broad, unclear, etc. So then you would invite stakeholders, again, to a review specific meeting. And this meeting would be led by the methodology expert and a scientist who will be the topic expert in the field, and they would seek, they would present a kind of preliminary plan for the review to stakeholders and seek input of the stakeholders to the scope and the focus of the review. So the stakeholders would be invited to focus on the PICO and PECO structure, on the inclusion strategy, on the search strategy proposed, even on the sources of relevant grey literature. And so this is kind of a way of narrowing even down the review question, but also still making it relevant for stakeholders. Finally, as I said, this is about fine-tuning kind of of the scope according to the stakeholder priorities. However, this has to be done with the methodological and scientific limitations and kind of questions of time and resources available and what is possible to do in terms of science and methodology behind. So the review team has to make a final decision on the review scope. Obviously, justification for the final decisions on the scope are communicated back to the stakeholders and are provided in the protocol. So the whole process is very transparent and no one feels excluded if the justifications are made in a very clear way. Okay. So for example, a review on the ability of wetlands to remove nutrients from water that was now published in 2016. During this final stakeholder engagement review specific meeting, during that meeting, the review scope was extended to cover removal, for example, of phosphorus from water and not only nitrogen, because that was more relevant to stakeholders, but also stakeholders expressed the need to, for example, focus only on creating and restored wetlands, but to exclude natural wetlands from the review scope. Okay. So then a review protocol, once all these comments are collected from this engagement process, review protocol is being drafted by a review team, by methodology experts, by subject experts, and then this draft protocol is then open for a public review. Everyone is kind of invited to comment on this draft protocol and obviously you have to put the time limit on this public review. So in our case it lasted two to three weeks and then these comments are incorporated in the final draft, in the final protocol and this protocol is being published. Independent body, in this case executive committee of our project would review the protocol development and stakeholder engagement process and finally approve the final changes to the protocol. And this early state with this early stakeholder engagement basically ends. Okay. In one of the examples or example reviews on roadside management, roadside management review was initially to include management effects on vascular plants and all kinds of animals. However, during the open consultation stage, the scope was narrowed down to cover vascular plants and invertebrates only and exclude, for example, mammals and birds because one of the stakeholders clarified that mammals and birds would not be good indicators of the impact of the roadside management. Okay. So now I would like to share with you some of the main challenges, lessons and recommendations from this whole process and this whole experience. Okay. So since we wanted to create reviews that are relevant for a broader audience, we needed to include the broad groups of stakeholders who then comment and affect the scope of the review. However, this is obviously time and resource demanding. This although may be in this presentation in this talk may be represented as a linear process. This stakeholder engagement is a very iterative non-linear process. It goes back and forth between the reviewer and the stakeholder group. This might be perceived as a challenge, but this also can be beneficial, obviously, to the review team. Also, what we notice is that sometimes it's very difficult actually to respond to knowledge needs, desires and expectations of the stakeholders and conceal these needs with established review methods. So you still have to keep the systematic review rigor in the methods, but you have to balance that with the stakeholder desires and expectations and this can prove difficult. However, this was helped by having ultimate decision-making as the executive committee, as an ultimate decision maker who made a final decision throughout the stakeholder engagement process on, for example, review topics or review scope and put the final say on where the reviews could go and which topics could they should address. Okay. However, it is very, very important to engage with the representative, diverse and well-balanced group of stakeholders. Like this, various biases and Western interests would be avoided. If you are searching for typical groups of your stakeholders, always search for a range of different views within these typical groups. So if you invite NGOs, there should be a different kind of types of NGOs in that stakeholder group. It's, if you are, for us, was quite easy because we were focusing only on the Swedish context and environmental management actors in Swedish context are very few. However, it's worth exploring the participation tool to kind of combat geographical bias and kind of spread the audience of, included in this engagement process. You have to remember that reviewers gain from stakeholders and this is a bi-directional exchange. Engagement with stakeholders, for example, help me and my colleagues to understand better the potential impact of the review for those concerned or affected by review process or review findings. Without stakeholder engagement, especially this very early stage, we were unable to kind of think or predict of potential impact and we would not be able to create questions that we would, we would, we are, we were more able to create questions that would be more kind of perceptive of different values and different views because, as you know, it depends on which question you ask, you get certain answer. And the most importantly is that I believe that early stakeholder engagement can facilitate endorsement of the review process. So the findings of the review are perceived as legitimate if you involve stakeholders at the early stage and keep them involved throughout the review process. Stakeholders need to feel that they participated actively and have opportunity to influence. So it's very important to understand that not everyone would be willing, for example, to talk in a meeting where everyone else is presented. So it's important to be aware of this kind of a power relations in a group of stakeholders and allow everyone to speak or to provide comments either in oral or a written form. And in order to increase this feeling of the participation and influence to the review process, it's also very, very important to stay transparent throughout the whole process so everyone would not feel excluded. And this actually will at the end pay at the end of the review process can pay better because then you also have stakeholders to which a group of established stakeholders to whom you can communicate your findings and hopefully hope that these findings will be taken up to further up to decision making process because these decision makers have been involved in production or production of the evidence they are going to use or they at least influence the production of the evidence that they are going to use in their decision making. Okay, so here with this I will slowly finish. Here are some references that I used in the presentation but more is available in that paper, the link to which you have in a couple of first slides. And with this I would like to thank you and maybe open floor for questions and further discussion. Thank you very much. Thank you Juliana for the very interesting session and definitely very informative. So we're going to start taking questions. Let's see we have a question from Sumant Kumbagiri Nagraj. Sumant I'm going to unmute you if you'd like to direct your question or comment to Juliana. Hello Sumant. Hi Juliana. Hello. Hello, yes. Am I audible? Yes. Yeah, it's a nice presentation. I'm from India working presently in Malaysia and you talk about including diverse stakeholders. I have a question. If the diverse stakeholders talk different language and understand different languages and there is no common language, do you have any suggestion? How do we include them in the research? Hi Sumant. That's a very, very interesting and valuable question and a point. In our case we haven't had a language barrier when it comes to stakeholder engagement but I assume that then engagement would have to be done through some kind of maybe not through a face-to-face meetings but through a kind of a e-participation where you would have to translate your questions that would be kind of posed to different types of stakeholders with different talking different languages. So perhaps this e-participation platforms where the engagement can be done in a virtual space in different languages facilitated by a review expert that and help with the translator I assume would be the better approach. This approach that we had so far was mostly based on kind of a face-to-face meeting where the exchange happens in a face-to-face kind of a discussion but I assume if there is a broader audience or audience that is more diverse e-participation would be one of the options for that. I don't know maybe others have some comments to that or some other ideas. Yeah I agree with your suggestion about the e-participation but if we introduce e-participation are we not limiting the participants only to be of a certain category who are internet literate or who have the capabilities to use the internet? What about people who don't have internet facilities who are not computer literate? Yes that's a very very good one. Yeah are we not excluding them by telling that we will include in the e-platform? Yes we do definitely so you would then include some kind of bias in your sample of stakeholders so I guess I don't know you would have to have translators in your yeah in your meetings this this seems to be like a like a only solution. I'm sorry that I can't provide any more clever. No no thank you thank you. This is actually a very interesting comment and we faced that with many of interventions or activities that are that are based actually on the internet but so Sumans I would actually like to ask you how would you suggest dealing with this or what would be an alternative that would not be restricted of actually that would not be restricted by specific access recommendations or requests? I think definitely as a suggestion came that we need to hire a translator and I would rather go for an interview. I would select my stakeholders and I would interview them probably what is their opinion and I would collect the findings. I don't see any other way to get the information from different strata of the society. Yeah thank you that's very interesting yeah definitely okay so thank you Sumans for your input and for this discussion. We still have a few minutes so if anyone else would like to make a comment or ask a question discuss directly with Rihanna please feel free to send your question now or raise your hand so that we unmute you. Tamara maybe I can ask one very general question. Yes definitely go ahead. I wonder if and thanks Sumit for starting this but does anyone else see any other challenges of the presented report presented approach in your working context? I would be very much interested to hear more about that since this approach was really really applied only to one very specific context. I guess we don't have any answers to this maybe it's a little bit premature to ask as people have not. Yeah maybe it's something thinking about after this webinar. Yes once people digest what they heard because it was a little bit too much of information. Yes potentially but great information. Yes okay so Rihanna thank you so much for this great presentation and I thank our attendees for joining us today please make sure to follow us for the other sessions for this webinar series. If you have any questions please feel free to send to Rihanna or send us the question we can direct to and connect you with Rihanna. Thank you very much once again everyone and thanks Tamara for hosting this webinar. Okay thank you so much Rihanna. Take care and health.


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. Question says, for the exercise given below, verify that the given function is a solution of the corresponding differential equation. This is the given function and this is the corresponding differential equation. Let us now start with the solution. First of all, let us consider the given function. Given function is pi is equal to e raised to the power x multiplied by a cos x plus b sin x. First of all, let us name this expression as 1. Now differentiating both sides of 1 with respect to x, we get dy upon dx is equal to e raised to the power x multiplied by minus a sin x plus b cos x plus a multiplied by cos x plus b sin x e raised to the power x. We know derivative of phi with respect to x is dy upon dx. Now we can find derivative of this term by using product rule. Now this further implies dy upon dx is equal to e raised to the power x multiplied by minus a sin x plus b cos x plus y. We know e raised to the power x multiplied by a cos x plus b sin x is equal to y. So we can substitute for this term y. Now let us name this equation as equation 2. Now we will differentiate equation 2 with respect to x again to find the value of d square y upon dx square. After differentiation, equation 2 becomes d square y upon dx square is equal to e raised to the power x minus a sin x plus b cos x plus e raised to the power x minus a cos x minus b sin x plus dy upon dx. We know derivative of dy upon dx is d square y upon dx square. We can find derivative of this term by using product rule and derivative of y is dy upon dx. Now we can replace this term by minus y. Clearly we can see this term is equal to minus e raised to the power x multiplied by a cos x plus b sin x and e raised to the power x multiplied by a cos x plus b sin x is equal to y only. So we will write this minus sign as it is and we will replace this term by y. So we can write d square y upon dx square is equal to e raised to the power x minus a sin x plus b cos x minus y plus dy upon dx. Also from equation 2 we get dy upon dx minus y is equal to e raised to the power x minus a sin x plus b cos x. So we can substitute dy upon dx minus y for this term. Clearly we can see this term is right hand side of this equation. Now let us name this equation as 3.  Now this further implies d square y upon dx square is equal to 2 dy upon dx minus 2y. Now adding 2y minus 2 dy upon dx on both the sides we get d square y upon dx square plus 2y minus 2 dy upon dx is equal to 0. Now this equation is same as the given differential equation. So the given function is the solution of the given differential equation. Hence verified this completes the session. Hope you understood the solution. Take care and have a nice day.
