Good afternoon everyone and welcome to this session of the alt-conference. I'm really pleased to welcome Tirumani Nadan and Jim Turner and I'm really looking forward to this talk. Skip your sleep. It's one minute to midnight. I had a moment like that myself last night. I'm sure most of you are in the same position as we're preparing for semester one. So if I'm hoping for some hints and tips of when you get to that midnight stage. I will hand over now to Tirumani and Jim. Thank you very much and I'll share the screen. Thank you Emma for the intro. So welcome everyone. I've just posted in the chat. I'm not sure if people are I think on the waiting. Just waiting for it to start or oh we have 13 people watching. It would be great to know who is there, who's watching, where you're joining us, your institution because this is going to be an interactive presentation. So I've got my co-presenter Jim with me today and we're just going to make it a start. Can I have the next slide please Emma? Hi Alex. So today briefly we're going so a quick overview of the presentation. We've gone only 30 minutes with question 20 roughly 25 minutes. It's a deep topic but we'll try to kind of get into bits and pieces, kind of just kind of foot for thought to take away from today's presentation. So what we're going to talk about is your input. There'll be a lot of you input in this as part of this presentation today and we're going to talk about why this piece of work, why skip your sleep, it's 2359. And what is intersectionality? Current literature around deadlines, assessment, and cultural understanding. We're also going to briefly touch upon literature that tells us about deadlines and students and then intersectionality consideration for assessment before we then provide a question that is going more as a takeaway for you. Can I have the next slide please Emma? So there is a link that Emma is going to put in the chat. I can also do that actually. Whoever we've got today with us, sorry, can I have the slide before? So we've got a Google jock which is open, you can all have access and I would welcome you all to kind of fill this in for the moment. This will be the first activity of the presentation and the questions that it asks, it basically asks about your institution, your name, role, department and assessment deadlines, what type of deadlines you've got in your institution. I've got an anonymous call more rent, I didn't even know that was an animal, I've got a camel, I've got a kangaroo, so people out there are looking at the document. If you could please fill that in with pros of those deadlines that you've got in the institution, completely your thoughts, not what your senior management thinks the advantages and disadvantages are and then the cons and then you as learning tech designer, consultant, however you call yourself, the role that you call yourself, what are the challenges for you when you're designing the module online, putting it on VLE management, how you deal with having to put students into group, I'm seeing some slides being filled. Now, can I have the next slide please Emma? Now one thing I didn't tell yet is you've got just two minutes to complete this and there's going to be a reward for the first one to complete the role. I've been very generous, I've just told you the two minutes now only, it's deadline. We've got Ida, sorry if I've mispronounced your name, we've got someone from UU Academic, okay, we've got someone 7 p.m. on Mondays, 259, by the way my stopwatch is running, you can't see it but it's running and we've got someone who 12, I guess that's noon, 1 p.m. okay, UAL, I'm not too sure who's joined us from UAL, if you add your name that will be great. Cons rigid, user focus, I'm going to check the timer, okay, you're still good, not yet, I mean by the time I started it, so we've got somebody who said generally 4 p.m., senior learning, LSE, University of Worldwick, so we've got Cheetahs, Rhinos, Hamsters, Camels, I've got a bat, I've got a beaver, okay I've got loads of, I still don't know what a Cormorant is, I need to google that somewhere in time, Camelone I'm familiar with, Hedgehog, Otter, Hamster, Aunt Eater, yeah, let me look, okay you're still doing good in terms of timing, very generous with this stopwatch seriously, oh somebody sent me Cormorant Facts, oh the seabird, I feel like just looking at it, oh it's pretty, so we've got someone who said generally 4 p.m. and some 20 through 59, okay, yay, hooray, so time is up, now next slide please, so by the way the reward for the first one to have completed it is a big thank you from me, thank you for submitting it, for completing it on time and within time and for having done the whole rule, thank you so much, that's very much what we often say to our students and that's why I'm saying that as well, thank you, submission received, leave the bird emblem of Liverpool, oh I'm learning a lot about Cormorant today, so yeah thanks Emma for moving to the next slide, now what's intersectionality, you know I could have put a lot of definition around intersectionality, there are so many out there and Google provides a wealth of information on this, this presentation is not about teaching every aspect of intersectionality, so I will not go deep into this, however briefly to mention as you can see on this picture it's around race, gender, class, history, language, you have a religion, culture, sexuality, sexuality, sorry, education, economic background which is not quite on this particular picture and of course one thing that is often very very often missed is that all these elements also corresponding to your immediate family member affect your position in society, we often tend to say okay it's just my gender, it's just my class, it's just my ethnicity which is true but also it depends on the ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality and all of your immediate surrounding as well and this helps in your understanding and if I could have the next slide please Emma. So this is my definition, you can quote it as long as you say too many say that, so understanding intersectionality for me being born in Moorish was not challenging at this time because I was exposed to ethnicities and classes and genders that are present sexuality, orientation and all that were present at that time in Moorish, however I think I learned more about it when I came to Europe and got exposed to other cultures and things like this and to me in a natural understanding and intersectionality is understanding what I am and what I am not, if I don't understand for example I'm a female, yes I will not understand everything, I will not be able to walk in the shoes of a male right now but at least at some point I need to know that yes this is what I don't know and this is what I'm not and try to understand it, not obviously I will not have a live experience of that. Can I have the next slide please, yeah I'm trying to jiggle. So now a quick question I've seen in the Google documents some people are associate professors, we've got academics, we've got learning tech, educational developer, we've got Matt, I'm not sure which role you are and we've got senior learning tech, I believe we don't have any students at the moment with us. This slide I'm just going to ask you if you could put in the chat on YouTube where you're joining what do deadlines mean to you in your role as professor, senior, LTE, simply LTE academic, we'll have bread if we had somebody who's doing their PhD or post-grad or something like that at the same time during a part-time degree or something but we don't, if you could just write in the chat what do deadlines mean to you, to you personally again not to your institution, you don't have a deadline for that by the way but we'll still have to go with the flow because it's a 30 minutes presentation, sorry I don't seem to see the comments so I'm just going to come back to that. Can I have the next, okay Elena Dawn says place one wish to begin backward timing to set up workflow okay do we have some more comments around what do deadlines mean to you and if you are doing some part-time courses or even if you're doing online training where you know sometimes you've got these courses two three weeks that you've got to do for work if you can just write about that as a trainee or student on that course so I guess it's Emma who said for me deadlines are both a motivator and a pressure, Rich said deadlines are something many of our students have no respect for okay I'll do I'll leave the comments coming and I'm going to move to the next slide quickly can I have the next one please yeah so I'll now leave the floor to Jim who's going to take you through culture of deadlines and what they mean and what current literature says yeah this work that we're discussing today really comes out of a lot of meetings that the three of us have been doing where we're trying to find you know particular answers in the literature or plan a research project about trying to focus on one aspect of education and see how we can design a research project to try and understand it in a deeper way and we were talking about assessments generally and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to very quickly go through some of the things we've been discussing in terms of the literature in trying to understand this particular aspect so next slide please so just give like sort of macro overview and this might sort of link with you in terms of how we think about deadlines in our daily work rather than just in terms of how it affects students so I was looking more in the gray literature here with you know looking at the things like business insider and Forbes magazine and these sorts of things where this is where I could only find references to cultures around approaches to working across different cultures using deadlines and the impacts of that but one thing I don't mind Emma could you share that thing that I just dropped in the private chat there this is a link to a rather interesting little review where in business insider they're talking about the different cultural understandings of time so this is somebody who's worked an American who's worked across very you know different time zones for different groups of people globally and starts to discuss what are the different time understandings of that there's a really nice one I don't know whether it's apocryphal because I couldn't find the actual example of this but they talk about in western views we view time as we're facing the future and we walk forward into the future and in this review that I've just put forward there they talk about the Madagascan point of view where you walk backwards their whole linguistics is around the idea that they're moving backwards into the future always facing the past and these are quite you know quite interesting different ideas about how we think about time and how culture builds our vision of time and how we might use time to plan it but sometimes I think reflecting on some of this literature I've noticed as well this has changed my viewpoint on how I think about internal cultures within organizations about how I start talking to other groups and their understandings of the flexibilities within deadlines so there's a whole other range of literature which talks about how we set deadlines and where does that come from and the different ways in which deadlines are managed in different cultures so one of the interesting ones that comes out is this idea that the most important thing about a deadline is not hitting it but what remains after it so the one of the important things that comes from this cultural understanding is that the most important part is that the relationships remain strong and respectful so you have the importance there is that what you're doing is you're not pushing to get the job done you're trying to build up that relationship and I've noticed that just reflecting on that in my own institution of how you know you set a deadline you go why aren't these guys hitting it and then you go and sit with them and chat about it and lo and behold by the end of it they've gone oh yeah there you go that just finished it for you so there's a lot of like negotiation around these sorts of things another one that comes out quite strongly in this grey literature is this idea of hitting the deadline in terms of and they describe it using the bus analogy okay so again I don't know whether this is apocryphal or not but they talk about well in swiss time for instance the bus leaves always on time but in some other cultures the bus leaves when it's full and they use this to sort of highlight the significance of quality over this temporality of getting the job done this all links together as well with a wider discussion about the impact on creativity how you want to actually get quality out of this process but by setting this deadline the closer you get to it the the less quality that you can produce because you're squashing this creative creativity in a shorter space of time and I'm worried about my time load now next next slide please so um what I wanted to talk about here as well is just focus on two of these aspects here a lot of the literature now if we think about the impact on students is procrastination so there's a huge amount of literature and if you share this particular one Emma for me as well that I just dropped into the chat this one's quite an interesting overview just recently done it and what it highlights is our viewpoint of procrastination is very much a sociological point of view no sorry a psychological point of view rather than a sociological point of view there's very little literature that talks about the context of the deadline rather than just what's happening inside the individual as as they start to reach that that crucial deadline so there's something really missing about that and an opportunity to explore this with students I think there's also a massive connection between well-being and procrastination so the emotional side of this is not really explored very well in the literature it's more um the psychological effects are more about personality traits you know the usual kind of surveys and these sorts of things to highlight particular personality traits rather than these emotional reactions so there's a huge opportunity as well of exploring anxiety and its effects but also causes of procrastination that it's cyclical that it's it's not you know as as you approach that deadline it could be what's happening as you lead up to it as much as the cause of it so there's also this multiple deadlines as well and you'll see this a lot in the literature and I think I've forgotten to put this one together I'll send this one out in a minute the link to this but there's a really nice piece of research that's been done by Jones 2020 in the development of this student minds mental health charter the university health charter they did a really nice sort of development process interviewing staff and students and assessment bunching becomes really begins to highlight in that literature and its impact on mental health and the last little thing here this liminality and becoming links back to procrastination as well and through the topic of mental health because what you'll see in there is whether we talk about during this this lead up to the deadline itself the journey that the student is taking towards that and whether we actually building greater support where we discuss the emotional impact of coming towards your first deadline and how to deal with some of these things just get them out on the table and actually begin to share them and discuss them and then possibly an opportunity so last next slide please Emma here's the link now for that Jones article I'll just drop in the chat um so it's this uh there is different possible solutions here UDL universal design for learning I don't know whether you're familiar with that but that there's a there's a real richness in the connection of that theory with um neurological studies and these sorts of things is grown through neurological studies but it doesn't focus so much on procrastination and deadlines it's much more focused on assessment uh flexibility in the type of assessment that you offer that the format that it that you give the student there's some literature around continuous assessment as well although there is some evidence in there that it this continuous assessment is almost like over assessing the the students and they become like overly tired by this performative process all the time there's some interest in studies about flexible assignments um there's not too many studies although I you know I haven't done a massive literature review on this but what does seem to come across there is that the studies that are it's not truly flexible what they're talking about is offering three or four deadlines that the students can pick from and what they tend to find is that the students are really bad at choosing the optimal deadline for them so basically what they're saying is they always go for the final deadline out of the four um and they still haven't planned well enough to to hit that deadline and also that they talk about the fact that well we in order to offer this flexible flexibility we need to help students to become flexible learners which seems to be like you know giving even more weight to the to the problem one of the um interesting couple of examples though around the identification of bunching some some really interesting things coming from the tel community around building systems to make the academics aware and and to use some kind of systems to identify those deadlines and put them into some kind of order so that the student the staff is aware of how many deadlines are all happening at the end of the month but I got really interested in the block delivery okay so I'm going to share a couple of really I think really key little bits of literature here that maybe you'll get your time to have a look at these I don't know whether you offer block delivery um in there but the the first one I've shared here is a review by an Australian University Victoria University in Australia and they've gone big with it they basically over the past four years everything is block delivery all all modules are taught in that way and they present a really interesting I wonder if you move the slide just one step forward yeah so this some graph is from that study and shows you the effects over the three years as they shifted to block delivery and there's a lot of really interesting things where they look at intersectionality and how block delivery has really supported those learners so I think there's something in block delivery but the second one that I've offered up which is Nixon and Gorman from 2020 looks at the problem from the lecturer's point of view of handling block delivery and there there are some good points about this but there are some complications for instance this you get a faster sense of accomplishment and insight about what's happening to the students but you're you're you're there's a little margin for error because you're only delivering in such a short space of time if you're not sorted and you you miss that deadline yourself as a lecturer it's too late I've finished my little bit sorry to you Rumani if I've gone too far but no that's that's all right um I wanted you to cover um in a puzzle so that the audience can understand why we are doing this piece of work can I have the next slide please Emma uh no next one so quick questions around intersectionality considerations it's quite a packed slide with text are we bothered about intersectionality are we bothered about students with care responsibilities are we bothered about international students there is in the google doc a timeline which was around I think 4 p.m roughly let's say if I'm a mom and I've got care duties I've got my kids in care center daycare center I'll probably have to think okay do I go and pick my kids up around four or do I leave them enough to school things like that and there's a whole list of intersectionality consideration that we can understand but there's also one thing that we need to think about what types of assessments are still valid in 21st century especially now post pandemic and things have moved online most all modules have written assignments and exams I recall when I was doing programming I used to have to do assignments with pseudocodes I was like why am I having to write pseudocodes I'm never going to in no job will I be asked to do pseudocodes what is that I mean I've been a software engineer I've never had to do pseudocodes I've never had to even remember codes by heart I knew the abc's of I don't know python uh cc plus plus and all these I knew you had to end with a semicolon when needed and things like this but I've never had to write the code but yet assignments were please write the pseudocode and even in exams and um one of the question I would like everyone to ask is how much are we bothered by the way about assessments about deadlines and about intersectionality and about students whether we are doing things for the students or all the students or whether we are actually looking at just a category so when we say students benefit from it who is benefiting and there will be somebody who's not benefiting from it are we looking for that somebody who's not benefiting from it um one thing also that doesn't work with the current model of uk actually uh assessment is for t&e students now that okay rasmus plus has been you know brexit and all but there's still um t&e courses t&e courses is really horrible like when I was in Greece in Spain yes it gave me one and two hours ahead but it also meant that if I didn't manage my time properly I was still working till one or two and I didn't mind if I didn't manage my time probably it's not because I wanted and I chose you but because when the students move to other countries there are other things that they've got to deal with look for the accommodations I've had visa issues so many times there's always something else that you've got to worry around are we accommodating for these students are we linear enough can I have the next slide please I'm aware we probably will not be able to take questions uh one thing that Jim also mentioned is uh like for example block deadlines and things like this all their alternatives are we having these alternatives are we implementing them are we talking about them in our institution and Jim also mentioned already about uh I've put digital in bracket because not all assignment you need to be working on a computer you probably are already are reading a book students are reading a book and writing it down then typing it on on the word document or something it doesn't mean that everything they are researching on online library and stuff like this so where does well-being stand there in that and sorry I should have asked one slide before now oh yeah sorry this one this very one this is actually sorry the the next one this slide is actually questions that I've already got in the abstract uh that I will share I've shared on Twitter it's basically if we have a 20 for 59 deadline what happens at midnight does the tutor suddenly wake up and starts uh marking the assignment why at midnight why are 20 for 59 could have been 5 am 10 3 5 am is not right as all because the students have got to sleep some of you have written noon which is a really great um deadline because then you also have staff who can help and you're not stressing staff as well there's so many questions that are out there on this slide I'll continue the conversation online as well on Twitter but one exercise for you to take on as it as a takeaway from this presentation is if you had a for Riti and the finance because most of the time I hear that people say I'm not in power I don't have the finance there's this and that issue around offering finance but if you had a for Riti and finance I actually have a public link there if Emma could put that it's a takeaway exercise that you could fill it um in your time if you had a for Riti and finance what will you do differently all the cons that you've added on the google doc how would you then do that differently so that there's no cons and there's no challenges well I I believe there will be some point some model that you'll implement will have some sort of cons maybe you'll have to apply to to employ more people but if you had it all logistically possible what would you do differently and how would you do it so this is more of a takeaway uh kind of exercise for you to and if I could have the next slide which is um oh sorry this this was the one I was talking about and the next one which is about choice we have the choice but are we making the right choice or is money and our line manager preventing her from making the right choice I've got the next few slides which is around references there's also further reading that Jim has shared in the chat I'll be sharing these slides online I'll put it on discord as well if you're on the score I'll um share it on um twitter as well and uh potentially ask uh alt if they could tweet it to reach more people as more members as well and before I finish I'm free when it's already past I'd like to thank uh September call who she hasn't joined us today but she's been a critical friend uh at the early stage of our discussion especially because of our work around intersectionally and what we wanted to look around in intersectionality this is I must mention is a work in progress uh your input around what you've done in the google sheet if you want to kind of fill your row completely that is most welcome so I can have your information and we can defer the work around that uh I don't seem to see question I know we've overrun happy to take questions on twitter Emma I I didn't notice any questions either lots of cormorant facts and other seabirds but um yeah if if you want to share your twitter um with or even on discord um if anybody wants to continue conversation there but it's been a really oh we've lost Jim it's been a really um inspiring conversation and um really interesting and I've been finding myself scribbling down all the references um so I just wanted to say thank you very much Jim and to Romani and um hopefully continue the conversation soon thanks Jim for the uh logistical support that sorry Emma and thanks Jim of course for my being my uh it co-present on this and collaborate on this difficult topic thank you very much and see you at the next session thank you


Welcome to the Crypto Minute! Huge mainstream brands like Nike, Gucci, Adidas, Tiffany and Co have a massed over $260 million in NFT sales. A pudgy penguin sold for $400 million. And they say NFTs are dead. Well, in mainstream credit card news, Visa's launching a prepaid Bitcoin Visa card in Brazil, MasterCard's working with Binance to enable crypto payments in over 90 million stores. Do you S.T.C. wareholding percentages hit a two-year low? Patiently waiting for the e-merge. Jordan and Hackers transport almost all of the $625 million in ETH to Bitcoin using Bitcoin privacy tools. But to Alik and XRP are having a moment, it's clear saying that they tried to throw ETH in Bitcoin under the bus in the S.T.C. lawsuit. Hackers still money from the general-bites Bitcoin ATM's by making themselves a beneficiary of all incoming crypto. Can I just say we found that in Latin America, most Bitcoin uses were real-world use cases. Way better than those fake-world use cases. When you buy the dip, and it keeps dipping. The FDIC has issued a cease-and-assist to five companies, including FTX, for allegedly misrepresenting their deposit insurance. Lost by private keys again. In the John McAfee documentary, an ex-girlfriend said that he faked his death in his living in Texas. A new report analyzed that NFT transactions could hit $40 million in the next five years. Keep stacking and I'll see you next week.


Happy Friday to everybody You know around here make sure to subscribe and turn that notification bell on and make sure to slap the like button All right, so today we are here in the smile room as you can see I'm noticed employees only beyond this point Oh my god, there's a rat all right So I researched this the smile room was created by the same guy that created a cartoon dog cartoon cat Which he goes by the name of Trevor Henderson. So this should totally be creepy. So let's keep on moving on Welcome to the smile room anyone who enters never returns have fun on your journey. Dude. What is that? Oh my god, it's like I don't know what that is right there. Okay, so that is a smile room as you can see the door has teeth on it Which is very creepy by the way Okay, let's check this out So like people get spit out of here or something. I don't know man. Let's go inside the smile room And let's see what we're getting ourselves into spread me. Oh man. Okay. Uh, do we just go in here? Okay, we get on this wrap That is not very oh, there's a tongue Oh And I believe we have started Oh my god. Oh, that's all that's alive over there Oh my god, what is going on? We're just falling down like Some intestines or something. This is kind of disturbing. We're cool at the same time Oh, man. Oh Dude, okay.  Okay, um, do we just go forward? So we have to be on a raft but there isn't any rafts here Okay, maybe we can go. Oh no. We can't oh Okay, great I'm just flinging around dude. We're stuck here There's no rafts Okay, the teeth are right there Okay, you know what we're gonna have to reset. All right So here we go again and hopefully we managed to stay on the raft this time because apparently You need a raft to continue on on some other parts. All right, so far so good.  What's up my boys? Oh Oh my god Okay, so I have no clue what all this pertains to guys Okay, we're on the raft this time Okay, you should be in a raft to get out of this area and no My god that loud breathing Oh And okay, it worked nice Okay, so good thing we stood on our raft because if not we would have been stuck there again My god, where's this taking us? Oh like there's another way wait. There's two ways Um left to right.  All right. I think we're stuck here guys. Um What if I just jump off? Oh Okay, we fell down.  This thing is going fast. Oh my god. Yo all right, um Where am I even going? Okay, it looks like it's slowing down. Oh my god. It's like glitching so bad Dude, where did everybody else go? Oh Oh, okay.  Oh, that is so nasty All right, so I guess if we take the other alternate route it takes like to a totally different place. So let's go check that out Oh, man Okay, guys, make sure to stay on the raft Dude, what is that sound?  Do not jump off of it My god. Yo, all right. This is pure madness I don't know what mr. Trevor Henderson was thinking when he made this Must have not been a lot of happy thoughts Okay, stay on the raft. Okay. No get off my raft Oh, man. All right, so this time let's take a left instead of going straight All right, stay on the raft stay on the raft.  Oh look our old raft is there. No, I'm gonna go this way now. Oh Okay All right, so let's keep on moving. Oh my god. There's a lot of tunnels actually What happens if we go down this way? Does this take you anywhere? Okay, it took him somewhere Dude, it's so dark No What is going on here? No, take me back. I do not want to go down the dark hole Oh my god, we're just moving now Okay What is wrong with this music? Dude, I think we're stuck here What's up rat? I think we made it to heaven guys We are in heaven Yes, take me away Dude, we're stuck here Get away We're on vacation Dude, um Okay, I'm gonna reset because I believe we're trapped here once again All right, so we're back to this creepy room without the tunnels Um This time I'm gonna take a ride instead of going straight because that just seemed like a dead end over there Did she dragging? She's just going off All right, let's go this way this time the two where this takes us Hopefully we don't get trapped in the dark room once again. Oh, dude. That is so disturbing I don't know why this game is so weird, but it's so cool at the same time like how is that even possible, man? I don't know But let's just keep on going. Oh, look there's a room. Should we go this way? Well, I guess here goes nothing Oh, look, I got a badge. Okay, you went down the main tube Okay, so we're doing something right here guys. We're getting somewhere Oh, man.  Oh my god, we're going like a supersonic speed again. Was that a noob or there was like a body right there, right? Um Oh, okay, I think we reached the dead end Um, I'm stuck here. Oh my god. Please don't let it be another dead end. I can't move I completed whoa. Oh, there you go Okay, sweet. I thought I was gonna get stuck there. Hey, come over here. Don't leave me alone Oh gosh, okay. I guess we go off on ourselves once again.  It's like flinking so much. Okay, let um, I guess we'll keep continue going down this way Oh, man. Hello girl wait, isn't that the girl that was dragging back there on her face?  That was like doing the spider-man crawling on the wall.  Don't get me close to that rat. Oh my god. Thank you Why are the rats so humongous man? Kind of creeps me out Hey, what's up spooky? How's it going buddy? Okay, so What is this place yo?   Okay. Uh, what is that right there? Dude, it's a giant crocodile. No, okay. That was gonna kill us My god is doing like park horn stuff Okay, this is getting more strange Each tube we go down Why is there crocodiles now first the rats now crocodiles? What are we gonna see next man? I mean, I don't want to see what's gonna come next because it might be even 10 times more disturbing From what we previously have been through that she's been in there Okay Now we go this hole Ew, that was nasty man. He pooped us out. Literally. Okay, uh Okay, so now we're in some sort of other type of intestine or organ I have no idea what this is Okay, do I just run? Okay. No, I guess we just lied Oh, man, I wish I had a raft right now. It would have been way more easier What's the point of this game to get this Gusted I'm disturbed all at once man, but you'd never would have figured to get Disturbed all at once in one single game Okay, dude, this thing keeps crashing me Okay, what if I just run Think it might help a little not too sure Okay, I guess we just keep on going There's nothing else we can do from here How long is this?

Okay, so, after a lot of delay, I have finally finished reading Winter World Awakening, and, uh... I gotta say, it could have been a lot worse. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. Now, that might sound surprising, because when I've read the first two books, I said that they were literally the worst series I've ever read. And I think it still is the worst, because the first two are just completely irredeemable in just about every way, and really the only reason I continued reading, because normally, if something was that bad, I wouldn't have read the second or third one, but the reason I kept going in this case was because it was genuinely fascinating to me how absolutely everything was done wrong. And I mean that. I mean, the characters, the writing itself, the plot, the world-building was... It was all done really terribly, and it was just... It came together in such a way that it was just fascinating to watch it fall apart. But honestly, this last book is not as terrible. Like, it's still bad, don't get me wrong, but really, as far as climaxes go, this one could have been worse. There is some level of competence in there. I actually want to do something a little different for this review, so rather than like a regular one where I have a long section where I talk about specific points I liked and disliked, and then have a brief spoiler section, or like my reviews of the last two books in the series where I just kind of praddle on about everything I hated without any concern for spoilers, this one, I'm going to kind of summarize the majority of the plot here, so that way I can go into more detail about what specifically I hate about it and what few bits do work. So my brief non-spoiler part will be... I still don't recommend these books, obviously. If you read the first two and you liked them, then I guess go ahead and read this one. Again, as far as climaxes go, it could have been a lot worse, but overall, yeah, it's still pretty awful. So this one starts off right after the last one ended, or not right after, a couple of weeks after the last one ended, and Hunger and the Pratheria are gathering up, preparing to take over Hungary. Meanwhile, Hungary is being attacked from multiple directions by Russians and Austrians and all them, and Anna's cousin, Noemi, has gone... she's been kidnapped, and so this one starts off with her cousin Mattias and some of their other friends going to rescue her. And Gabor, Anna's Roma boyfriend, is gone at this point. He left to go join the Hungarian army, however, right before he did so, he gave her this paper, or this set of paper, rather, where if you write a message on it, it appears on the other one. It's magic. And I have to take a moment to talk about this because that's really stupid. I'm not saying that magic in this world couldn't do that. I'm just saying that if that was a thing, if long-range instant communication was a thing in this world, that would change everything, okay? And it's not that expensive or that rare. It's not a new invention, I don't think. It's just something Gabor was able to just buy. And just the military applications of that alone, being able to communicate with different parts of your army that are spread across hundreds of miles, and you don't have to send an old-school horse messenger or anything, those are huge, those are huge implications, and they never mention them before this, and they never mention them afterwards. They only use them to communicate between Gabor and Anna, that's it. But anyways, Anna and Matias and their friends go into this cave to rescue Noemi. However, one of their Pratherian friends betrays them, and Matias gets captured, and Anna has to run away. However, Anna gets caught not long afterwards by a soldier, and she gets brought back to Vienna. While she's there, she finds that the new emperor, Emperor Franz Josef, has had some sort of curse put on him, so he's in this comatose state almost, and the emperor's mother asks Anna, hey, if you can use your spell-breaking ability to save him, then I will let you go. And the curse is really complex and difficult, so Anna has some trouble doing it, but she is able to break the curse, and she saves the emperor's life, essentially. However, the emperor's mother betrays her and sends her off to the Russians, because the Russians want her, apparently.  Meanwhile, while this is happening, because remember, this is split between Anna's and Matias's point of view, he manages to escape, and he finds his Turkish friend Bahadir, who, I hope I'm pronouncing that right, I don't know, I don't speak Turkish, but he finds him, and they manage to go back to the world tree, and he starts training with his shape-shifting telto's powers under the war god Hadur. And I just want to say that this entire book, the plot of it, is just the main characters getting captured and escaping over and over again. And I mean, you're probably going to notice that yourself as I go on here, but that is probably the biggest issue with this book, because that is a very fundamental problem with the actual setup of the plot, okay? There's no... how do I even put it?  So while Matias is training with Hadur to control his telto's powers, he also gets trained in military tactics and strategy, which, okay, that makes sense, like Hadur is a war god, he's not just good at fighting, he's also good at strategizing, that makes sense, I can buy that, and they take a little bit of time to mention that Bahadir is apparently a really good tactician. I just want you to remember that going forward, because it's never mentioned again until right at the end.  Whereas in this one, these bits where he's training are actually okay, it actually goes into some depth about how his powers work, and yeah, it's okay. It's more interesting than Anna's because for most of the book she's in captivity and she's just sort of watching other people do shit, so his are better, but they're still not great. Now while Anna is captive, she and Noemi are, you know, glad to be with each other, and she is sending secret messages back and forth with Gabor, and he's talking about how the war isn't going that well, all that sort of stuff, and Anna is trying to find some information on the praetaria, and if she finds anything important she's going to send it to him, but she doesn't yet. And also, while they're there, she overhears Noemi talking with Hunger, and apparently they're in love now. Forgive me if I missed anything in the first two books that would have hinted at that, but there was, I don't think there was anything in those that hinted that Noemi and Hunger were into each other in the slightest, I don't even remember if they met in the first two books, and considering that, again, they're meeting in the context of him kidnapping her and holding her hostage, that's a little creepy, but even setting that aside, there's no emotion here. We can't see them fall in love, therefore why should we care? Okay, I guess emotion's not necessary in a romance, whatever, we'll just move past that. Anna's Uncle Paul is also there with them. He's a really powerful magic user, I just want to remind you that he's there because he hasn't been that important since partway through the first book, but whatever, just remember he's there because it becomes important later.  And I mean, he feels guilty about it and goes back to training, which I guess could work in some contexts, but in this one, like, dude, there's a war, you're at war with these guys, and you're specifically trying to destroy their supplies, which will mean a lot of them might die, or not get proper medical attention, and then die, and so I'm not sure what you were expecting there, but okay, whatever, we'll just... He goes back to train, and then Hadouard also decides, okay, you know what, let's actually go out and do some stuff.  It's really kind of over the top, honestly, because if they had just made it seem like, okay, he's doing his best, but he's not quite up to the task, that would have been one thing, but by making him seem like just such an obvious dumbass, it makes all the people following him also seem like dumbasses, and well, if they're all dumbasses, I don't particularly want to see them win. While he's there, he also meets Gabor, and Gabor is, I guess, he's still fine. I said in the first two books that he was the only okay character, and while I will get into the ways that some of the other characters become better than they were before, Gabor is still fine. There's really nothing that changes about him to make him awful, and he talks with Matias about Anna and how her and Noemi are okay, and yeah, nothing super important, nothing else super important happens here. I'm not going to re-record that, I don't care. Now Anna, while she's in captivity, starts getting trained by Vasilisa to better control her chimera powers, her ability to break spells, and okay, so they go into more detail about the magic system here, except it is kind of dumb, because apparently all things have souls, even inanimate objects, and so Anna's powers can actually break things other than spells, or unmake things, they describe it, and so they have her try and unmake rocks, so the rocks just crumble apart in the dust, or at one point they capture a soldier and they have her unmake his eyes, so his eyes disappear and he starts screaming in pain, and the thing is that that's not the worst idea for a power I've ever heard, it's just that Anna's already kind of overpowered, and she's just getting worse now. So not only can she break most spells that people try and throw at her, and not only can she in theory cast spells twice as powerful as a normal person, but she can also just break apart everything without even using magic and without knowing spells at all. That's just, you know, she's overpowered, but she's too much of a dumbass to use it properly, and so that's just frustrating to read about. Her uncle Paul is still there, and he's still just being kind of mysterious, and it's clear that he's up to something, but Anna doesn't know what, and she also, while she's writing letters back and forth with Gabor, she gets one letter, which has some sweet stuff that he wrote about her on it, and it also has some information about the movement of Hungarian soldiers, and she doesn't erase it because you're supposed to, like, say a magic word to erase it, and she doesn't do that, she keeps it because it's like, ooh, he's wrote sweet stuff about me here, and then the letters get stolen not long after, and so the Pratheria and their allies find out about the soldier movements, and a whole bunch of people die because of Anna, because she's a selfish bitch. Yeah, I want you to keep that in mind, because even though later on she gets a little bit better, shockingly, she'll always be just the most awful protagonist ever. Now Matjes and Hadoor continue fighting with the Hungarian army, and eventually Hadoor gets fed up and just takes charge, he decides to lead it, and Matjes, who I should mention, one of his other Taltos powers, is that he's able to sort of separate his soul from his body and sort of go into the dream world, I guess you'd call it, and you can visit people in their dreams, and so he visits Anna, and they talk a little bit. And while they're talking, apparently there are other wars all over Europe, like Pratheria are still coming out all over the place, and there are other revolutions, like there really were in 1848, which is... okay, whatever. That's a little weird, but I'm not going to get into too much detail about it. I made a whole world-building video about that several months ago, and I don't want to retread old ground, and I don't want to harp on it more, so just get whatever, it's kind of dumb, whatever, move on. And then not long after this, hunger gets betrayed by the other Pratherian leaders, and they kill him, including Vasilisa and this other new guy named Chernabog, who comes up, and Anna and Noemi are like, oh, that's so horrible, he was evil, whatever, and Matias is actually in his soul form watching this.  Vasilisa actually helps them with this, because I guess she's a friend now? I don't know, it's never really explained that well. And I also just want to point out how this makes death completely... just completely pointless in this universe, or meaningless, actually, is a better word for it, it's completely meaningless. And... no, I don't think I need to explain why that's bad, just death is meaningless in this universe. Now, right after this, Matias actually gets captured by Vasilisa, his soul does, when it's separated from his body, but using his Talos powers, he's able to transform Anna and Noemi into birds, so they fly away, and they escape, and they join the Hungarian army. And I don't really have an organic place to put this in the rants, I just want to say that the dialogue in this book is really bad, it was bad in the first two, but in this one it's still pretty awful. Nothing people say ever sounds natural, it sounds like someone is trying to emulate Shakespeare almost, but also make it sound more like how normal people talk, or something? I don't know, it's just not done very well, and I just wanted to throw that out there. So when Anna and Noemi reach the Hungarian army, they find that, hey, Russians are allied with the Pratherians, and they're coming in and attacking us from another direction, even though they already kind of knew this, so it should be that surprising, but whatever, I'm not going to dwell on that too much. And Hador gets removed from his position as head of the army, because he was never officially appointed to it anyways, he just sort of came in and said, I'm in charge now, so I can't blame them for that too much. And Anna and Gabor meet up again, and even though Anna was very irresponsible with the messages he sent her, and admittedly this is a little bit his fault as well, but even though she was irresponsible with that, and even though she let sensitive information get into enemy hands, which resulted in the deaths of a whole bunch of Gabor's friends, and a whole bunch of loyal soldiers that they're supposed to be trying to protect, he just forgives her for it. And again, it's partially his fault too, but for fuck's sake, dude, where do you draw the line? It also turns out that Gabor can use magic now, which, I mean, it makes sense in context, because after the binding was destroyed, lots of normal people found that, hey, I can use magic now, but it also feels like they should have brought that up in the previous book, because the previous book was a lot lighter on plot anyways, and they could have used an extra- whatever, I don't care. So yeah, they're talking for a while, and he's saying that he's accidentally using his powers to control people's minds, and he feels kind of guilty about it, and Anna says, eh, it's not a big deal, and then they bang, I think, I think they bang, I don't know, it's written in such a way where it's honestly kind of hard to tell what happens. After this, Anna sneaks away from the army to find Emperor Franz Joseph, because now he's all well and good, and she tries to plead with him to stop the fighting, and she says like, well, hey, I saved your life, and we're friends, you know I'm not a terrible person, can we please, like, maybe come to a diplomatic solution here, and he says, you know, I feel kind of guilty, but no, and that whole scene was very pointless, honestly, I don't even know if I needed to bring it up here, but I just... So Paul comes to Anna in a dream, and he offers to trade Maches' soul for her, and she agrees to it, and so she tells some others, and they say, okay, yeah, we're going to make this trade here, it's essentially trading hostages, and Hadur comes back, his absence was totally pointless, and I don't know why they threw it in there, so Anna and the others go to make the trade, and it looks like they got Maches' soul back in his body, but they get betrayed, and the Pratheria attack them, and Hadur is killed, and Noemi is killed, and I guess I'm supposed to be sad about that, but honestly, Noemi is just such a nothing character for the majority of the series, that it's impossible to feel bad about that, and then they also take Maches' body, so now that Anna is back in captivity, again, Vasilisa reveals that she is actually Baba Yaga, and I guess... Here's the thing, that could have actually been a pretty good twist, but it's not foreshadowed in the slightest. The thing is, Baba Yaga is just this character from Slavic folklore who I'm not very familiar with, just because I'm not all that familiar with Slavic folklore in general, but the thing is, her being a Pratheria makes sense in the context of this world, it does, but the thing is that they never mentioned Baba Yaga before this at all, like if they had just taken a couple of lines even in previous books, or in this one, to say something about like, oh, there used to be Baba Yaga, but she's dead, or, ooh, Baba Yaga did all these terrible things, but she's just a legend, you know, she's not real, then maybe Vasilisa being revealed as her could have been kind of impactful, but as it stands, it's really a pointless twist that doesn't mean anything. So the Pratherian army attacks the Hungarian army while they're also fighting some of the other human armies, and Vasilisa talking to Maches in his new... well, his old body. You know, he's kind of emaciated now because his soul was separated from it, so his body deteriorated a little, but he's still alive and he still has his powers, and Vasilisa basically convinces him that it's impossible for their side to win, so we should just try and end this as quickly as possible to avoid as much bloodshed as possible, therefore you should help us, and it doesn't make a lot of sense, but Maches goes for it, and so he turns into a dragon and starts wrecking shit. It's pretty dumb.  And he reveals to her that everything in existence is made of soul threads, or soul stuff, I think they call it, and so they already touched on that earlier with her being able to destroy inanimate objects and stuff, but he mentions that time is also made of soul threads, and so apparently she can use her powers, the same powers she uses to destroy threads of magic, to alter the timeline, and he wants her to alter the past in order to make it so that he was born emperor. This is another twist that really isn't bad, and the plan itself isn't bad either, like as far as evil villain ideas go, that's kind of interesting, it's not 100% original, but I kind of liked it. The problem is that, again, just like the Bobby Yaga thing, it comes so out of nowhere, and it's so reliant on new information that we weren't given until just this moment that it just falls flat, and so after talking for a bit, Anna realizes that, hey, by changing the past, I can make the world better, I can do this, and so she actually thinks that, hey, let's go along with it, but she also, not long after that, she realizes, you know what, everybody thinks that they're making the world a better place when they do stuff like that, everybody thinks that the costs are always going to be worth it, because she realizes that if she changes the past, then that's going to result in people not being born, and other people dying, and that there's really no way around that, and she starts to stop and think, well, who am I to play God? You know, maybe I shouldn't be doing this, and this moment just caught me off guard, because I realized, wow, she has actual development, she's actually changing a little bit, she's realizing, like, you know what, maybe it's not right of me to have this power, or rather it's not right of me to try to use this power to do something like that, and so, yeah, for the first time in all of these books, I had a little bit of respect for Anna.  It's kind of like that, because Anna actually says, and I wrote down the quote here, because it's actually a really good one, I am Anna Arden, and I will have my soul back, and I just, I remember reading that, thinking, wow, that is legitimately a badass scene. All right, you know what, Anna?  That was a really cool badass scene. So she gets her soul back, puts it back in her body, then she manages to go find Matias in his dragon form, and she just sort of calms him down, which is kind of dumb, but whatever. And then Gabor gathers up a bunch of soldiers, and using his bind controlling magic is able to sort of rally them, and then they get Bahadir to lead them, and again, he's such a minor character, and they really only mention once that, hey, he's good at strategy, but they never actually show him doing it.  So after that, they actually go and fight the leaders of the Preytheria, and Anna actually defeats Vasilisa slash Baba Yaga by actually taking away her ability to use magic. Like, apparently she, like, severs her connection or something, I don't know. It's not that well explained, but it does kind of make sense given the way magic has been explained in the rest of this book. And honestly, that is also a pretty cool scene. So I'll give the books this. The climax, the final battle is honestly pretty good. It had no right to be as good as it was, but by just putting in a couple of decent moments with Anna who I'd want to reiterate is awful as a character. She's an awful protagonist, but by just putting in a couple of really cool moments in there, it actually made the climax pretty good. Like, it's not mind-blowing. Like, it's no it's not going to compare to something like Mistborn or just it's not amazing, but it does have some level of competence to it. And so after the climax peace comes. You know, the war is over, Hungary gains its independence, Austria becomes a Republic I think. Like, they have a brief conversation between Anna and Franz Joseph where he mentions he's no longer Emperor and how they're setting up a Parliament now, but from what I understand about the real Franz Joseph, he was a pretty staunch believer in divine right of kings, and he wasn't happy about having Parliaments and stuff, so he seems way too chill about it, and also like, was there really the political will to turn Austria into a Republic? It makes sense that Joseph would just stay Emperor, whatever. It's kind of dumb, but okay, whatever, it's not a big deal. And then Anna and Gabor officially get engaged, and well, that's kind of it. You know, it just ends with you know what, peace has come, let's try and rebuild, let's make a better world, which is pretty generic, but also competent. And that's what I want to say about this last book overall. Like, it has some actual competence to it. The first two books did not have any. Okay, the first two books were awful in just about every way. This one, while it is still awful in most ways, has a couple of bits that are done alright, and I kind of wish I could have seen those bits done in a better book. Like, again, if everything leading up to the climax had actually been let's just say they had just been okay, or average, then the climax itself probably would have seemed a lot better. But by having everything leading up to it just be terrible, it, I mean it falls, I don't want to say it falls flat because it is still a decent climax, I think, but I just feel like it could have been so much better. And let me leave you with this. A couple of competent bits do not make up for all of the shit that came before this, but I will give credit where it's due. And so while this is still probably the worst book series I've ever read, I think that the author could become better one day. So just, tell her to keep working at it. Thanks again to Des Brennan and all of my patrons and be sure to subscribe and all that other stuff.


epithelial tissues, types and functions, first the contents, epithelial tissues, basement membrane and the functions of epithelial tissues. So first the definition of epithelial tissues, epithelial tissues are actually the renewable sheets of cells which covering the outermost layer or surface of different organs or they are lining the inner body parts. So students if we talk about epithelial tissues, the word epica means the outer one, the upper one. And thelium is called a layer. Epithelial tissues are basically the type of cells or tissues which line the outermost boundary of different body parts. And similarly the tubular portions of the body with the outermost boundary like the stomach or the lungs or the tubular portions of the body with the hollow spaces, the tubular portions of the body are also lined by the epithelial tissues. So if we look at the example of epithelial tissues, our skin is made up of epithelium, the outermost layer of our skin is covering the entire body. So the visceral organs like the internal body, the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, the outer layer that is also epithelium, if there is space or cavity in it, the lining of the cavity is basically epithelial tissues. Epithelial tissues, the special thing is that they are continuously dividing cells. So the cells on the upper epithelium, if the slough of the upper epithelium is removed, especially the digestive tract epithelium, it is continuously removed. When we eat food, the cells of the digestive tract come along with our food, the cells of the membrane are removed. So it means that the epithelium is removed from the upper epithelium and the new epithelium is removed from the lower epithelium. The other cells that separate the epithelium from the lower epithelium, the boundary that is the basement membrane, the basement membrane is basically epithelium and the endothelium is the other cells that separate it from the connective tissues. In the diagram, you can see that the long columnar cells, column-like pink-colored cells are epithelial tissues and the lower epithelium is the layer of the connective tissues. The lower epithelium is the base of the membrane and the lower epithelium is the base of the membrane. So the base of the membrane is basically a matrix, which is a different non-cellular material that usually separates the epithelium from the other types of tissues. What are the functions of epithelium? If we talk about the functions of epithelium, we should first know where the epithelium is. Number one, epithelium is the layer of the outer most of the body. Now when the outer most is the layer, the functions of the skin will perform on the epithelium. What are the functions? It is a sensation. As we have touched, we can feel that there is a sensory organ in the skin, the part of the sensation that will perform on the epithelium. Similarly, our test words, the relevant work of the test, if we look at the internal body organs, we can see that the work of the intestine is to absorb the nutrients. The small intestine is the large intestine, they are absorbing. So if we look at the collective leg, there are many functions of epithelium, which if we have a few functions, we have absorption, then transportation, then excretion, then protection, then sensory functions and the secretion. Now if we look at the work of protection, it is skinning. Similarly, the secretion is our glands, digestive glands, like we have salivary glands, there are glands in the stomach or the glands of the intestine, all of these glands are basically the modifications of epithelium. Similarly, excretion, in the sweat gland, there are many toxic materials, not salt that excrete from the body. So sweat gland is basically an modification of epithelium, which is performing on the function of excretion. So similarly, transportation. In transportation, if we look at blood vessels, arteries, capillaries and veins, which when the blood flows, the lines of the blood vessels are actually the epithelial in nature and the epithelium is formed. Here we have some diagrams. In this, the top is the diagram of nephron. In this, this tubular structure, the nephron basically is made up of the single layer of epithelium of the cell, which has different functions, in the kidney. In its important functions, one is the urine, whose formation is that the urine will travel through the nephron and go into the urinary tract. Kidneys. So the second function is in the intestine. The second top, which you can see in the picture, is basically the structure of the small intestine. It is called cross-section. So the small intestine is making microvillage and village in epithelium, and its function is absorption. If you look at the bottom like this, then there are gills. Gills are for gaseous exchange. What are gills basically? There is epithelium on it. In this, we have the lungs of the kidneys, which we are looking at, which has to play a role in gaseous exchange. In this, in the next diagram, you have two test birds. The test bird's sensory function is epithelium. Similarly, in the next cross-section, you are looking at the wall of the stomach. What are the gastric glands on the stomach basically? They are epithelium. They are made up of epithelium, which gives secretion.


bear 1000 here today we've got this ceiling fan it's a Harbor Breeze it's from Lowe's Builder series it's a 52 inch white finish ceiling fan it says functions beautifully well as it should it's brand new so what I want to do is have I've installed a bunch of these in the past a lot of it's real simple but for the do-it-yourself for this never-installed one I think you'd be alright just make sure your power is off and I'll show you what to do first we're gonna do this step-by-step together that way you know how to do it this is a flush mount it it's not gonna have the rod to bring it down lower it's a flush mount also known as a hugger to some people because hugs the ceiling let's get this opened up let's see what's in it and we'll go from there and I'll show you what to do okay guys this is just some specifications here shows you what to do it's like a lot of people when they have their ceiling fan on in the summer they have it blowing down on them and they just keep it that way excuse me that's not what a ceiling fan is supposed to do okay the ceiling fan like here it shows you airflow with normal rotation and then the cool weather airflow so what you're supposed to have it do is in the summertime you're supposed to have it running backwards yes that's right you're supposed to have it running backwards that sucks the hot air up it helps keep the hot air up above you and in the wintertime you should have it blowing down because heat rises so you know you want to keep that heat down below you know down to your level so that's what that's kind of explaining there but a lot of people don't know that but anyway so let me get my knife here let's get this opened up I should put my mic on hang on I'm gonna put my mic on okay I put my mic on the camera that way you're not getting a left and right bad sound effect going on there so let's open this up this is an LED so it does come with the light nothing but the best for the shop right 50 bucks so I just wanted something just to kind of help it'll help me both in the summer and in the winter it'll help keep my heat down here in the winter and heat up there in the summer which that's why I keep the attic open all winter long because it helps suck suck the air up out and what monkey thought I should do which I'm not going to do today because I want to get this up this is all your all your paperwork and everything here's your instructions these are pretty detailed instructions you should have everything you need here except for maybe a couple of tools so it should come with all the hardware and all that that you're going to need but anyway so what monkey suggested that I do she thinks I should paint these up since they're already white well see you got this this side too so I can have this side pointing down or this side which one have this side pointing down because it's all white in here anyway but what she she said I should do is paint black checkers in here make it look like a checkered flag on these we'll get we'll do that sometime but we're not going to do it today okay so always make sure you get all your parts they should have a part parts list in the in the instruction guide there which we'll get to in a minute this is your chains you know your pool chains for your light and fan this is one of your your your mounts okay so it should go something like that this is to hang your fan this hook here a lot of people don't know what it's for but it's to hang your fan while you're hooking your wires up we'll get to that so you've got these are for your for your fan blades to hold your fan blades on there's your wire nuts so you're going to need I mean for that for that part go ahead and open this up and we'll get to the working end of it and there it is okay there's your your light here's your fan these here are for your fan blades they will of course screw on here with these screws that are provided okay hopefully this is not gonna be I got a 52 inch I was gonna get a 54 and a lot well the doors over there so hopefully we'll have enough you know enough room in between there and then this will bolt this bolt's on like that see that's what that hook does it hooks up like that once you get this mounted it'll hook it hold it while you hook up your wires and then you'll you'll bolt it in so okay so there's that this is supposed to be an LED light check this out that's a pretty thick there in it wow so I'm done good way so there's the LED light there's that piece that'll go on here okay so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna get these instructions out excuse me and I'll get them opened up and I'll show you pretty much what they consist of hang it hang on a second okay now here's the instructions it's got your your safety of excuse me your safety information your package of contents okay now that's going to show you everything you get okay it shows you every little part and piece that comes with this kit okay so that's what I was telling about there it's all able everything what it's called there's your hardware which we saw those we saw the blade screws the fiber blade washer and the wire connectors okay so let's see we've got eight foot ceilings in here so we're gonna need 30 inches that way which I think I will have I'm not sure I got to check I think it'll miss that door if not I may have to move it over in the box then but and you need it you know you want seven feet tall which we're gonna have because eight foot ceilings I figure that's gonna drop down about a foot so here it shows you all your your initial your installation how you go about it I don't know if I'm gonna have to see there it's it's showing you about your j-hook how you can hook that and so it'll it'll hang there while you're hooking up your wire so you don't try to try and so you're not trying to hook the wires up and hold it at the same time so and it tells you know of course you'll need black tape and want you to tape them off which I remember they used to used to not tell you that if you had a wire connector you were good to go but I always tape mine off when I can anyhow sometimes in tight spots it's near impossible but so yeah it's pretty pretty detailed the thing about what it's not gonna it's not going to tell you is if you have to box an end you know if you have to build a two before box to have something for this to mount to so like I said I may have to move it over but we'll just have to see once I get the old light fixture taken down but yeah it's it's pretty detailed now if you get into that you know you you might need some carpentry skills so but there's that so what we're going to do is I'm gonna put you up here towards the ceiling and well I got to get my ladder and then we're going to we're going to take the old light fixture down and we're going to see if I have to if I have to move it over or what it's going to take because you can't just you can't just you know you're not going to be able to just screw this on to drywall you know what I mean you can't it's just not going to hold it you're going to want you know some kind of two before you're going to want to be into something and I'm not sure if that has that on that light or not I don't think so I just have to get up there and see and this is this is of course where your wires are going to come down through we'll get into all that so let me see what we got going on up there and again this is what's going to hold that big piece on there the cover so let me get that let me get my ladder get my light fixture down and then we'll commence to commencing okay so alright guys okay something else I wanted to show you there's three different ways you can wire this fan up you can have the fan and light controlled by pull chains you can have the fan controlled by pull chains light controlled by switch or get this open here you can also have it the fan and light controlled by two wall switches now I do have two wall switches over there but one goes up into the attic and I don't want to get up in there messing around too much there's too many spiders up there so I'm just going to hook it up like this because it's going to it's it's going to be a wall switch it's just going to work like the light that's there when I flip it on it's going to have power to the fan and then I'll just use the pull switches now you know like I say your application may maybe may differ so you may want to consult an electrician if you don't know how to run two wall switches but you can also have it this way you have to make sure you have the wiring there that is for that so just be mindful of that but I'm just going to hook mine up to where I'm just going to be running the pull switches and so as long as you know I flip the light on there then I can pull the switch to turn the light on I'm pull switch to turn the fan on whatever so just be mindful of that okay so all right I got my ladder ready and let's get up there and pull that old light down hopefully I don't get attacked by a spider again but we'll see okay guys I know there's a shadow here but I got the lights off here this is dead this power is dead so hopefully you can see okay we're going to go ahead and pull this down there should be a box in here that is what's going to screw these on to but I may have to move this over to the other side there's a rafter up there ceiling joist if you will that holds the box and this is and you're going to screw you're going to mount the check okay you're going to mount the the fan unit on to that box so I may have to get longer screws I may have to I know I'm going to get some washers yes there is a box here okay I don't see a ground wire I don't see a ground wire on this thing I'll tell you what these old these old balls man I forgot just how hot they get you know I'm used to running fluorescent or LEDs anymore and kind of makes you forget about how hot these things do get now the green wire I'm probably going to have to run up in there somewhere and I'm going to have to hook on to a ground okay so we got this down so we have to take this screw all the way out and I'm going to I've got some washers over there I'm going to put some washers on it and I'll show you what I did like I said I'm going to have to run a ground wire up through there I'm going to have to get up in the attic I don't want to but you'll get the idea of what's going on here as soon as I get this up here so hang tight let me get a couple washers and I'll show you what's next so there's my flat washer on there and it's going to go in these slotted holes like that and that is what it does just like that okay now I'm going to get up there I'm gonna put this on like I said I'm gonna have to run another wire up into the attic I'm not gonna bore you with that because all it is is a ground wire so let me get you back in now remember these wires here have to come down through this hole like this they come down through that big hole and you should be able to see usually you might have better lighting than me but there's a little right there where that box is that's where the screws go this is a plastic box so I'm not going to use any kind of power tools on this because I don't want to strip them out you can if you're careful but I don't want to teach you guys that and then go well you did it which I normally don't anyway so if it's plastic I'm not gonna I'm not using any kind of power tools on it so they can be fiddly just got to have some patience like I said I may have to move this box on to the other side of this too before and hopefully if I do that hopefully it'll cover this hole so I don't have to do any finish work on the ceiling move a mine all the way far over as I can get make sure that's up there because he's fans they got some weight to them remember they're just gonna be hanging so want them to be on something solid okay yeah that's very solid I just hope it's gonna clear the door now I'm gonna come get you and I'll show you what I did here okay now hopefully you guys can see it's okay it's a screw here and a screw here like I said I'm gonna have to run because there's another green wire onto the fan motor that this is gonna hook on to and then I'm gonna have to run another green one up in through there and up into the attic and all I'm gonna do is hook into what's the ground that's up in the attic is all I want to do with that so let me go ahead and get that run at least up in there and then I'll connect it later I don't need to show you that because I'm just gonna run it into another green wire that I know is up there why it's not grounded I don't know you would you would have thought it would have been code even in 1994 but we'll just have to see so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna hang the motor from here right here but first I gotta run me a green wire up in there so it can be grounded hang tight guys and then I'll bring you over and I'll show you how this is all hooked up okay guys now we're gonna go ahead and hang this on that hook on this side here is a slotted hole on this side is around the round hole you want to want to hang it into the slotted hole it's like that and it's just gonna hang there now we're gonna hook our wires up it's also explanatory okay I'll show you here in a second how they go okay so we're gonna hook the white up to white because I have some extra ones here you may not have but they run the they run the fluorescent light that is right up above your guys's head that is not turned on make sure you have nothing showing and put your wire nut on okay the blue and the black one the black they're all able like the blue one's the light the black one's the motor which that's gonna be your your hot wires we're gonna wire them right in with the black wires because I want the light to come on I wanted to have power when I flip the switch on okay so that's why I'm like I said your application may be different if you're running two switches you're gonna run that blue wire to another switch but this one's just getting all switched on one and then I would use the chains for that also if you don't have a green ground wire it may be bare don't be alarmed if you got a bare wire up in there that'll be your ground that's what you hook the green up to okay and I'll bring you down here and I'll show you I need to clip this if they're too long for your wire nut to go on just clip a little bit of it off and put your wire on and I didn't get these right now I'm gonna show you exactly how they are hang on okay you guys probably didn't hear much of what I said I've got the mic turn around backwards but hopefully you get the idea this is what I've done greens go to greens like I said yours may be it may be just a bare wire might just be a copper wire that's your ground your black wires go together and that's where my lights gonna go if you're just using one switch this is where you're gonna hook it up your black wires and your blues gonna go in your black wires then your white as your neutral and it's just gonna go to white but like I said now I got two extras because they run that fluorescent light over there yours may just have three wires come out coming out of it so don't be alarmed if it's a different so now what we're gonna do this is how that hook hooks on looks on just like that now what we're gonna do is we're just gonna flip this right up in there and we're gonna put our nuts and washers they're nyloks which is a locking nut and they lock by nylon so let's go ahead and we'll put you back on a stand turn the mic around this time and we're just gonna go ahead and put this up in there tighten it down and then we'll see now these screws here is what covers your your your plate your your cover you know you'll see so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and put that on there I'm gonna put one blade on it just to see if it's gonna clear that door because I need 30 inches I'm looking at like 28 or 29 here so alright so hang tight guys and now what I'm gonna do I'm gonna put these wires up in here all the way up inside that box up through that hole and I'm just gonna get the holes lined up with the rubber grommets make sure nothing's in the way now I'm gonna put my flat washers on first and then the nut now these these nuts on this one are 10 millimeter yours may vary depending on the manufacturer what they use but so as you can see we really have used many tools you're gonna need a screwdriver Phillips and a straight actually you probably just get by with a straight because these are either or on the fan for fan blades okay now let me get a fan blade and let's make sure it's going to clear that door now to put this piece on see there's a slot back you know I'm sorry about the lighting but I have to have the power off okay see on one side there's a slot right there and a screw hole two screws are going to go on this side and two screws are going to go on the other side but they're if you can see their offset so what I did was I took two screws out opposite of each other diagonal and left two screws in but it left them loose that way I can put it up on there and lock it in then I'll put the other screws on so we're gonna go ahead and put that on now I won't zoom you in as far this time so you get an idea of what's going on this stuff here it's pretty self explanatory I did lose one of the screws it fell down here somewhere let's make sure you get that little washer back here that's your that's gonna be your hardest parts trying to get that washer back behind there that should be behind this one's behind so we're gonna just start this up on there start this one and turn it now I'm going to put the other screws in I'll have to find the other one and put it in later but and of course you got to find the hole this is the most tedious part here guys it's trying to find okay well I took the wrong two out all right no big deal let me speed this up for you all these screws they want you to what I usually do is do one fan at a time because it can get confusing also you want to put your fan blades together and I'll show you how to do that right now okay guys again very simple very easy depending what side you want this is the side I want pointing down so you're gonna put this like this now if you want the other side pointing down you'll put it like that but since I'm going with white it's gonna be like this so I'm gonna put these three in there like that and they give you these these blade what they're calling blade washers they're just a flat washer it's it's like a fiber and all you're gonna do is you put your washer on there you screw these on and you tighten them down don't get them super dino wapping tight but you do want them snug because you don't want them coming off I've seen that happen that's a that's a story from several years ago let me back out a little bit you get the idea still got to find my other little screw to hold my decorative plate on and the other screws up on top like like I said they tell you to take them all out at once but if you do them holes look really confusing this is a five blade fan so all right so what I've done is I've taken two out already because I had to see if it was going to fit okay and it does now I'll bring you up here and I'll show you the best I can putting this on I'll tell you what I'll do I'll go ahead and put one on and then I'll bring you up with the camera and I'll show you exactly what it looks like okay guys this is what I was talking about see that how many if you take them out they'll get confusing so what I did was like take one of the two closest together and then go to the next one take it out put your fan blade on and then do that all the way around there so I'm gonna start I'm gonna take these two out and put a fan blade on these two out and put a fan blade on that way it's a lot easier than going wait a minute you know because then you got you know 10 holes up there that look all the same I noticed on this one there's little there's little lock washers there and sometimes they'll stick to that okay so make sure when you take that screw out there make sure you get the lock net off or the lock washer off because it goes up inside there okay now I'm not gonna bore you with that because that's all I'm doing so the next thing you see we're gonna go ahead and put our light fixture on okay guys now we're going to put this piece on where the globe is going to screw on to here there's three holes here you can't get it wrong there's an indentation right here on this one and there's also one right up here now what you're going to want to do is just line your chains up and they're going to come out these little holes here on the side which looks like it's gonna be a pain in the ass but what isn't right so there's one other one's gonna come out this hole here and I'm gonna go ahead and put it's got these three little screws in here and there's three holes again I'll show you once I get them in here they're kind of a kind of a pain because you really can't see what's going on in there put them chains in after this snug them up pretty good but you can't go too tight because again they will you don't want that because remember that's gonna be holding your globe once you get the first one in it's not so bad because you can see the other ones when they get started one more and I'll show you how these screws go in now now we're going to run our chains down I don't know why it tells you to run your chains in first when you got all this room to do to do this after you can get different style of lightings you can buy these without the light and add your own light light fixture I've seen them you know with like four lights kind of like a chandelier coming down you can get you know they're pretty versatile on the different things you can get they had a switch on now but so I don't want to pull that yet but I'm gonna go ahead and bring you up here I'm gonna show you how them screws okay so there's one there there's one right back over there and there's one on the other side they're spaced evenly what they do is they come in through these holes here one two one over here on the other side that's three and this is that divot I was talking about so you can get them right and again your your chains they just you just go through that hole and out and then you hook the other ones on now the light bulb just screws in and the lampshade just sticks on and screws in with these little divots here if you can see them when there's three of them and that's all that holds that lampshade on so I'm gonna put you on the stand I'm gonna screw the light in and then we'll we'll put the shade on again this is an LED bulb but you can go up to 60 watts with a regular bulb now this you just line them divots up with your light here and you give it a turn that's all holds that on there I don't like that but it is what it is right so now I'll show you how to put these little chains on here okay now we're gonna put our chains on just got one of these little little doohickeys here you'll see it's self-explanatory and you just slide that in there there it is just like that I'm gonna put the other one on and we want to try this puppy out and see how well it works okay guys so we know the light works because it was on when we turned or screwed the ball man so I think this is a light yes that's the light this should be the fan to see which way it's going I'm gonna want it to suck the air up so I'm gonna want it going this way okay and then in the winter time I'll have it blowing counterclockwise but I'm gonna be wanting wanting it to run this way so let's see and it is okay awesome this should be medium and that's a love and I'm telling you what I can feel a difference man awesome let's shut this light out or shut shut this fan off I'm gonna open the door and make sure and then I'll show you that switch I'll show you how to switch it to go like for summer and winter like I said a lot of people have it backwards they think they should have it blowing down on you but that's not how these things are supposed to work okay so I'm gonna go ahead and stop this open the door here's the door I'm just gonna turn it with my hand I think it's gonna work great perfect beautiful alright now I'll show you that switch shut the fan off so we don't chop our heads off and switch is right there now if you flip it down you'll see it'll go the other way okay but that's not the way I want it that's gonna be for winter time that's gonna blow whatever heats coming up here it's gonna blow it back down on me so I'm gonna flip it back up there and I'm gonna leave it on low there's high medium and low and plus it gives more light a lot more light than that little bulb did and I mean I can really feel it sucking that air up from there so what I can also do is open the cat door she never uses it so I can open the cat door up if I want and I can oh I can feel cold air coming through there yeah so what it'll do is it'll it'll suck the cold air in and the hot air up and out through there so alright let me get you on the stand I'll let you know what I think about it okay guys so there you go that's um it's easier than what it looks the instructions make it look a little harder but it's self explanatory don't lose screws like I did I found the washer to that one screw but I didn't find a I didn't find a screw yet yes I did I just found ah alright that holds that white cover on so I found it and I've got the washer for it now they did give me one extra screw and washer lock washer for the blade and they gave me one extra fiber it's just a flat washer blade washer they call it and screw for the blade that goes on to the mount but they don't give you an extra one for anything else and that's this one I found it and I did find the the washer a little bit ago so it's real easy like I said I I don't usually have to use the instructions because I know the different wiring patterns once you do a couple of these are all pretty much the same but I wanted to show you you know go ahead and do it step by step like they say we got lucky we didn't have to move anything got plenty of room I don't like that it's not in the middle in the center of the garage I don't know why they would have ever put that light like they did I would have put it in dead center but apparently there was a reason for it I don't know but I wouldn't have done it that way because that bothers me but I'm telling you what I got it on low right now I can feel the cold air like coming up my back so it is sucking the heat up and out the out the into the attic which it's vented you know the roof's vented so it's got a ridge vent on the roof so yeah I can and that's on low so and I can tell difference with the light over in that area so yeah we're good to go monkey's messaging me so we're good to go thanks for watching guys if you have any questions on this leave them in the comment and I'll get back you as soon as I can but I don't think you'll have any issue if you're any kind of if you've hung any kind of light before or anything like that if you're pretty handy around the house you can do this it's real simple especially once you do one you know now if you're putting it on a slanted ceiling you're not going to you can't use that hugger you'll have to get a bar you know extension bar that comes down and brings your fan down to whatever you know however your pitch or ceiling is but that's just for a flat ceiling that's all we needed so that's what I got it was out 49 bucks it ended up being $52 I ordered it online through lows and I was like well when's it going to be here next thing I know I got an email saying it was ready so we had to go pick it up but it's only a couple miles up the road so that's good so we just went over and got it and picked it up it was already paid for they had it waiting for so yeah like I said it was $49 plus tax ended up being around $52 good enough for you know what I need in here so and I like I said I can I can feel it I've got the I've got the garage door open a little bit over there so I can feel it pretty good now our next our next one we're going to take the the the light that's over the over the desk we're going to put it here we want to take these down we're going to put that light over here and then this light here I've got two more shop lights I was going to put one in the center and then monkey was like I said or I can put a fan here she was like yeah just go ahead and get your fan so I'm going to put a different shop light here and this shop light here that doesn't match the other ones is going to go over there where the little LED one is so anyway stay tuned for that I'll probably do that while I'm vlogging or something so anyway I got to get back with monkey here see what's happening and we'll chat it you guys soon thanks for watching remember any questions leave them comments below I'll get back to you as soon as humanly possible I'll help you out any way I can so that being said shea bearer the myth man legend gone for now and y'all enjoy the rest of your week we'll see soon bye bye
