A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hahi-hio silver, the Lone Ranger. With his faithful Indian companion, Tottle, the daring and resourceful mask rider of the planes led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofed beets of the great horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. Josh Kinsey and Psy Adams owned adjoining spreads in the far southwest, but they were anything but neighborly. Their mutual dislike which had started with a dispute over a line fence had developed into a feud. Hardly a week passed that there wasn't trouble about one thing or another. Hey, boss, look over there. A few of Kinsey's cowpokes are routed up more of their strays on our range. Come on. We'll teach them to stay on their own side of the line. Right, Adams slinging lead. Before that week was over, Psy Adams men retaliated because of the loss of some of the cattle and the wounding of one of their men. It was Tex who rushed into the bunkhouse with the news. Quick, everybody. One of the barns is on fire. I saw somebody riding away just a few minutes ago. Must have been one of Adams' cowhands. The boss would be plenty mad now.  It seemed that matters were going from bad to worse, and the dislike between Psy and Josh grew into a strong hatred. Josh, a widower, lived alone with his son, Terry. Psy Adams, a bachelor, lived with his orphaned nephew, Jimmy. Both boys were about ten years old and had become close friends, unknown to their elders. The boys met secretly to play together whenever possible. One morning, a cowpoke reigned to a stop at the Adams ranch house. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, is it? Say, boss, I thought you ought to know that split rail fence we put up across the east corner of the range is down again. What? That's right. I just come from there. Dad, bless that ordinary Josh Kinsey. He must have had his ranch hands pulled down late yesterday, so as to drive cattle through again. Well, that settles it. I'm going to town order some of that new fangled barbed wire fencing to put up. It doesn't matter, Uncle Psy. Nothing to concern you, Jimmy. This is grown-ups business. Oh, it's about that barbed wire. It's dangerous. Is that the wire you looked at in town, Uncle Psy? The kind that has stickers on it? Yes, yes, Jimmy. Now run along. Like I said, Jack, I'm getting plenty of that wire. We're putting it up. It'll take care of Josh Kinsey. Will it make Mr. Kinsey mad, Uncle Psy? Of course he'll make him mad. That's why... Now listen here, Jimmy. I told you to run along and be quiet. Yes, sir. It'll be worth all I have to pay for that barbed wire fencing to hear what Josh Kinsey has to say about it. I'm going to be shooting over it, boss. Good. It won't be the first time we've traded lead with that Kinsey crowd, but that fence will go up and stay up. And that's it. That same day, Josh Kinsey and his young son, Terry, were eating supper when the foreman of the ranch entered. All right. Speak to you now, boss. Come in, Tex. Come in. What's on your mind? Hi, Terry. Hello. I, uh, I just come from town, boss. Well? Got a bit of news while I was there. Might interest your considerable... I'll have it, then. Psy Adams got a whole load of barbed wire. Rolls and rolls of it. Watch it!  Well, that's right. He's fixing to do just that, so I heard tell him, Terry. I won't let him get away with using it. Why is Mr. Adams going to use that kind of wire, Dad? To keep us from getting our cattle across a bit of his lane, that's why. That means driving them 10 miles around if we don't go cross that way. Why does he care? Because he hates me, that's why. Now, Terry, you're going...    Of course I do. Why shouldn't I? I don't know. Why? For lots of reasons, that's why. I could tell you from now to we... Eat your supper, Terry, and stop pestering me with silly questions. Yes, Dad. Tex, you tell the rest of the boys. We'll keep our eyes open. Right, Josh.  We'll face him for a showdown once and for all. That afternoon, Psy Adams and some of his men rode alongside the big wagon that was hauling the barbed wire from town. If I thunder this wire, it'll settle things with Kimsey. Yeah, boss, but he'll do all he can to stop us putting it up. Hey, Psy, the support's been coming up behind us fast. Looks like to Kimsey, by the way. Well, whip up that team, get going with the wire. We'll drop back and hit them all.   All right, get ready for him, boys.  Hey, boss, the coyotes are shooting at us. All right, throw that at them, boys. The fight lasted only about five minutes. Psy Adams and his men drove off the Kimsey ranch hands, who turned and galloped away after one of them was wounded. They returned to Josh Kimsey's ranch and stopped at the corral. Josh walked toward them as they dismounted. What happened? What's the matter with Jim? We tried to stop Adams from getting that barbed wire home to his spread, but he and some of his cowpokes were riding along with the wagon. That's right. They put up a gunfight. Jim got wounded, so we decided to better leave.  All right, boss. Psy Adams let him take that barbed wire home. All he wants of it. But when he comes to putting it up, that'll be a different story. You can bet on that. It was dusk when Tuttle, Indian companion of the Lone Ranger, stopped at the temporary camp they shared in the nearby hills. You've been gone a long time, Tuttle. We stayed a little longer, get news. What news? Let me hear talk about range war. Range war? Just what did you hear? Let me hear men say, follow names Psy Adams by plenty wire with points. He make fence on range, make others plenty mad. I know where Adams' spread is. I understand he's been having a feud with Josh Kimsey, who owns the adjoining spread. That's right. You're going to use barbed wire. It make Kimsey another rancher's plenty mad. Then have shooting war, maybe. That may be the outcome if Adams puts up barbed wire fencing. You hear men say that. Well, the trouble won't start until actual work on the fence has begun. We'll keep an eye on things over there and do all we can to prevent a range war. The following afternoon, Terry riding a pony approached a clump of cotton woods along the trail near his father's ranch. Jimmy, who also owned a pony, was waiting there. Oh, boy! Hi there, Jimmy. Been waiting long? Uh-huh. Most an hour. You knew I'd come, though, didn't you? Sure. I brought you something. You did? What? This. Golly, a make-believe gun, just like the one you have. Yep. Here, take it. Gee, and the way it's painted. Sure looks real, doesn't it, Terry? Yep. Golly, thanks. Where'd you get it? Text made it, like you did mine. Gosh, did you tell him about us being friends and all? Yeah, but Text won't tell. He thinks we ought to be friends. He thinks your Uncle Si and my father ought to be friends, too. He does? Sure. But I guess they never will be. Growing up's so funny, aren't they? Uh-huh. Guess I'd get a licking from Uncle Si if he knew I met you here all the time. Guess Dad licked me, too, if he found out.  Yeah, but it's more fun being friends, I think. Me, too. Text says someone who hates someone else is an abomination in the eyes of mankind. Golly, Text said that? Yep. I learned it word for word. What's it mean? Um, I don't know. Neither did Text. He heard a preacher say that once. Anyway, he's sure it's something not good. Gosh, I wouldn't want to be that. Me, neither. Look, now that we have wooden guns, let's... Listen, somebody's coming down the trail. Yeah. Let's keep out of sight till I get close. Then we'll play hold of it. That'll be fun. Here they come. Come on. Get covered. Come on. Got both of you. All right, son. Guess you two ombres have the drop on us. I'll do as he says. And me looking guns. Gosh, Terry, now what do we do? If that... I'm not an outlaw, son. But you have a mask on. I have my reason for the mask. I, uh, I'm afraid those wooden guns aren't enough to keep us here. Oh, golly. He knows they aren't real. They're real enough for your games, boys. We'll put our hands down now, Donna.  Oh, yes, sir. I'm Terry Kinsey and he's Jimmy Adams. We're friends. I see.  Yes, sir. And Psy Adams is my uncle. I live with him, but they don't know we're friends. They wouldn't like it. You boys are lucky to have each other for friends. Is that Indian your friend, mister? That's right. Donna was my friend. My father hates Jimmy's uncle.  I've heard about their feeling toward each other. I feel sorry for them both. You do? That's what Tex said, too. Oh, who's Tex? Our foreman. He says Dad and Mr. Adams are going to start a range war if they keep on. That's what. Uh-huh. And Uncle Psy says tomorrow morning he's going to start putting up a barbed wire fence. He says he'll be ready for trouble, too. Dad told all our men they have to ride with him tomorrow morning to stop Jimmy's uncle and his men from putting up the wire. Ah, look like trouble come tomorrow. Yes, Tunnel. Oh, uh, where is the fence to be built? Over Yonder where the trail goes along the creek. Between Terry's ranch and ours. I see. We're right over that way, Tunnel. See you again, boys. Easy city, big hill. Easy town, easy town. Move, move, move, move. Goodbye, mister. Uh-huh. Sure a beauty. I hope we meet that masked man again. I'd like to hear. So do I. The Indian, too. Hey, we better start home. It's getting near supper time. All right. I'll tell you what. Let's meet here tomorrow and we'll ride over and see what happens. Want it? All right. We'll meet right here tomorrow then. Meantime, the Lone Ranger and Tunnel rode over to inspect the disputed boundary line between the ranches. That's where the rail fence was taken down so Terry's father could drive his cattle through. It's not good if wire fence be put up. Those two men got together instead of being at each other's throats. Their ranches would be more prosperous. Ah. Boys have more sense than older ones. Yes. They become good friends. Look, Kingsley. Hold over, hold over. Seems like Kinsley's men are going to drive cattle across Adam's land before the wire fence is put up. Ah. Men leave hurried on Kingsley's side for night and riding through in early morning. Don't get those cattle through before Adam's men come to put up the fence. They'll really be trouble. And Kingsley will lose some of these cattle. That's right. Well, we better go back to our camp for the night. We'll be right over here early in the morning, Toto. Ah. Maybe it's better if we... Hey, look! Man, we'll see you soon. Make for the arroyo quick. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. All to continue. As the Lone Ranger and Toto sat on their horses watching a roundup of the Kinsey cattle near the boundary line of the Adam's spread, their presence was suddenly discovered by the cowhands. The Lone Ranger and Toto headed into a nearby arroyo. We ride along the arroyo. Then what we do? We leave for the present. Best thing to do. Come on, Tilly! Meantime, one of Si Adams' ranch hands stopped hurriedly before the Adam's ranchers... Ho, ho, ho, ho! Hey, what's up this time, Jack?  He's got them all ready to run across our spread early in the morning. Before we get down that way to start working on the wire fence. So he's fixing to get his herd through in the morning, huh? Mm-hmm. Well, we'll set out earlier. Give Kinsey and his cowpokes a little surprise. Ah. It's a good idea, boss. Jack, you tell the boys to be ready to ride at sunrise. Yes, sir. After we keep them cattle and getting through, we'll get to work on the fence. And there'll be one fence that Josh Kinsey won't find so easy to pull down every time he wants to get his herds across my spread.  All right, good. Tomorrow's a good time to settle this feud between Kinsey and me once and for all. At dawn the following morning, Josh Kinsey sat on his horse, giving final instructions to his men. We'll start the herd moving right away, men. That'll give us time to get him well across the corner of Adam's spread before his men come down to put the fence out. All right. Yeah, yeah.  As soon as we get the cattle across, some of us will come back and see what we can do to prevent that fence from being put up. And the way I look at it, there's plenty we can do. No reason. It may mean flying led, boss. Why can't you settle in peaceful light? Don't try to tell me how to run things on this spread. If you want to work for me, you'll do what I tell you, understand? If Adam's has his way, my spread will go to the dogs and you'll all be out of jobs then. Now get them cattle started and see that you keep them moving in the right direction. All right, boys, you heard what the boss said. Now get to work. Hey! Hey! Meantime, Psy Adams and his men were riding toward the place where Kinsey intended to drive his herd across. Boys, we'll settle this matter first. Later, the wagons will come along with the fence posts and the wires so we can get to work on the fence. Josh, Kinsey ain't gonna turn back them cattle without a fight, Psy. That's right, boss. One of us might get flung. As long as you're working for me, boys, any fight of mine is a fight of yours too. Don't forget that. Kinsey wants to argue with Led that we'll accommodate him. I heard talkin' town last night, Psy. They were saying at the cafe that you hired an outlaw to rustle some of Kinsey's cattle during the night. What? That's right. Kinsey's men swear they seen a masked man and an engine hanging around earlier in the evening and they run them all. Last number, it was riding a big white stallion. Well, that's something they dreamed up. I guess no one they're in for a showdown makes them kinda nervous, especially Josh Kinsey. And there they are, heading across my spread with a whole herd. All right, come on, man.  Ride in from this side and stampede them cattle back where they come from. All right, come on. Get up here.     I'll start shooting! Back, man! They're snottin' down the tail by the creek. About this time, Terry and Jimmy, who had heard of the impending trouble, met at their usual place on their ponies and then rode along the trail by the creek toward where the herd was to be driven through. What if they'll be real shooting, Jimmy? Golly, if there is, somebody might get hurt. Yeah, that's right. Gosh, did you hear that? I do hear something. Hold it! Hold it! Hold it! Golly, they're shooting. We shouldn't have come. Uncle Psy would be mad if he knew I was here. Well, my father would be, too. I guess we'd better... Psy, what's that? What? Sounds like thunder or something. Oh, there ain't clouds in the sky. It looks like... Golly! Alongside the stampeding herd, saw Kinsey just ahead. Yeah, this'll teach you, Josh. Kinsey, this'll teach you. I'll get you for this. Jimmy, my nephew. Look on the ground. There's another one. There'll be tramples of death. You'll be responsible for that. A short distance away, other eyes had seen the danger of the two little boys. A lone ranger and toddler had written unobserved off the trail. Look, Kinsey, herd stampede, boys in trouble. We've got to get to them, so they'll hit big fans. Maybe we'll take the chance. Come on! Without giving further thought to the great risk they were taking, the masked man and Indian urged their horses toward the onwashing herd. The lone rangers, one thought, was to get to the boys and try to save them from a terrible fate under the hoofs of the maddened cattle. Silver and Skald, sensing the danger that lay ahead, seemed to slacken their pace for just a moment. Then, at the urging of their masters, they overcame their fears and raced forward at greater speed. Master, big fella, come on! In a couple of minutes, the two men covered the distance that separated them from the boys. Jimmy's pulling it runoff and as the lone ranger and toddler stopped, the two boys stood waiting with terror showing in their faces. Who's over there? Quick, son, give me your hand. Hang on tight, boys. You went so fast. You two saved our lives. We were all lucky to get away. I'll put you down now. Well, there you are. We're sure glad you saw us, Skald. Jimmy, Jimmy Lattie, all right. Very thank heaven you're safe, son. We better hold him for the show. Now, hold on, all of you. Maybe this is the masked comrade that I had snooping last night. But he... Well, I just saw him save my boy and that's good enough for me. I never saw that masked man before. Any snooping he did was on his own. But I'm darn glad he was snooping or Jimmy would have been traveled to death. That's right. I saw Terry's pony go down, boys. Jimmy could have got away, but he stopped to help Terry. What were you boys doing here anyway? And what were you doing together? The boys are friends, Kinsey. And Jimmy Adams was willing to give his life to stay by his friend, Terry. Well, I'll be doggone. So you boys got to be friends in spite of Josh and me hating each other, huh? Golly, Uncle Psy, being friends is better. Much more fun, sure is. While you two were busy feuding with each other, the kids were meeting every day and becoming good friends. That's right.  He said we're what? He meant you were feeling toward each other was foolish for a couple of grown men, Kinsey. We think grown-ups act funny anyway. Well, Josh, I guess maybe our boys got a better plan on how to get along than we have. Well, what are we going to do about it? Well, it ain't too late, Josh. It ain't too late. I'm sure you'll both find that as neighbors, it's far better to be friends. The future of the West depends upon the ranchers helping one another. Well, my friend and I'll leave now. Let's go, cut-off. Let's go! See, Dad, even the masked man has a good friend. That Indian is right away with him now. Well, I guess we could use a good friend, too, huh, Josh? Yep, I guess we could, Psy. I'm taking back that wire this afternoon. The men will go to work pulling down the rest of the rail fences. Now you're talking, Psy. You really mean that? I sure do. Let's try being friends for a while. Looks like it works with our boys right well. All right, Psy. Here's my hand on it. Is that all right with you boys? It sure is, Collie. I think it's fine. How about it, man? You know, that stranger with a mask had a lot to do with all this. I wonder just who he is, anyway. He calls his horse Silver, and his friend's name is Tomble. Yeah, and the masked man has shiny Silver bullets in his belt. Holy smoke, Josh. We've heard of that ombre. You dug on right, we have, Psy. Boys, that's one of the greatest humbries in the whole West. He's the Lone Ranger. This is a feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated, created by George W.

So what's the resolution? Let's examine each of these arguments in turn. Firstly, we can discount C. While different observers may observe things like different lengths or different times, none of this is contradictory. Thinking back to the Muon example, someone on the Earth would say the Muon travelled a long distance, but it decayed slowly, whereas the Muon would say it decayed very quickly, but only travelled a short distance. Both of these people, however, agree on the physical event, which is whether or not the Muon reaches the Earth's surface. Here we have a physical event, and it wouldn't make sense if one person thinks the rope always stays intact, while someone else thinks that it'll break. So now let's look at answer A. So this says that some sort of contraction like this occurs. However, this doesn't make sense. So in Carl's frame, they start off a distance L apart, and then he sees them always moving at the same velocity. If they're moving at the same velocity, they have to stay the same distance apart. There's no way that one of them can catch up to the other, or leave the other behind. And so we can discount answer A, leaving us with B. So think back to the first series of lectures on Galilean relativity and what kinds of frames of reference we could consider. We said that if you were inside a train moving very smoothly with all the windows covered, you could not tell what velocity you were travelling at if you were going forwards or backwards or not moving at all. If, however, that train was to accelerate, then you would feel it. Then you could say, yes, I am accelerating, and we are going forwards. Acceleration is absolute, not relative. Inertial frames of reference are only defined for objects moving at constant velocity. In this case, as Bob's speed is constantly increasing, at each instance of time, he moves into a new inertial reference frame. And so it doesn't make sense for Bob to say in my reference frame, because he has many different reference frames, all at different speeds that he's constantly moving between. So the only reasonable frame of reference to use is Carl's frame, who is standing on the ground. So what will Bob see? The fact that the rope breaks tells us that he will see Alice getting further and further away from him, even though both he and Alice are thrusting forwards at the same rate. The reason for this turns out to be due to relativity of simultaneity. At each instance in time, Bob moves into a new reference frame. And in this, he becomes simultaneous with Alice at an earlier point in time, when she was further behind him.


The study found that there was no significant correlation between home working and mental well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there was a slight increase in psychological distress during the second lockdown period. The authors suggest that longer-term shifts to home working may not have adverse impacts on population well-being if restrictions are lifted. Further monitoring of health inequalities is recommended.

We're just using using the medium It's meta, but it's basically the same because we usually talk about like what we're doing that the other people can't see Oh Secrets what's been over? I'm chicken. I'm peaking. I'm peaking. What's he doing over there some sort of chicken splatoon character. No some sort of Disgusting malnourished animal some sort.

I am literally done I am literally God.  I think the reasoning that she gave was that like if it looks good and when you'll look at from every angle Which I don't know if that's true. Oh, okay. Well, I get that like you should it's like the analog version of flipping your canvas. Yeah Or or the animal the animals version of can flip your camera Which is basically the digital version of holding up to a light backwards, right? Yeah, is that what you're gonna say? Yeah. Yeah, or or just flipping a canvas in real life. Yeah No, like mirroring your canvas you can't do that in real life Well, you can hold it up to a mirror. Yes, but yeah, baby I've got I've got that like slight fire, but I'm using it to my advantage Slight what you know what when a buyer is like I was not fully coming through but I'm using that to my advantage Oh, what a biro But there's a biro. It's these pens. Do you not know what they are there's a ball? They're called the ballpoint pen. No bull points are completely different. No, this is a ballpoint. What is a biro?  I've never heard of a biro So the ball pen ballpoint pen as we were called here in America Okay, I didn't I had no idea the ballpoint pen is like it's a ball on the end I this this this comes as quite a shock to me.  Specifically a ballpoint pen is it just is this but it five seconds What what's a ball? I'm too late. We ever have five seconds.

I have to be that guy This doesn't even oh, I thought I'm not even a funny joke, but it's so bad.    We're doing the comics. We do a panel each and possibly long and undone Oh, this is the worst one. Oh, I'm so mad Five I'm gonna look at other people We need to do a though, yeah But I love coming strand of drama and some drama drams. I'm so I'm so glad we actually Managed to get it done or getting to start it So I could I could go now I'm just gonna say we're good.  Yeah, so we should cuddle together. Yeah, sure We'll explain them like one at a time. Yeah, yeah This one. Oh, well here here. I started this one. Okay. I started Okay, okay, why don't you go first kid?   Yeah All right, all right This is in a food land, but there's no food Lollex D Bar I suppose I know what I have to do. He says serious and confident. Ah, this is perfect Prozac 2.0 To your family. Sorry. Gotta kill myself. Hope this Prozac helps you deal with it love Cool Joe Oh, mr. Cool Joe. No, this is his wife's hands. Oh, okay He's just it or no, not his wife. We don't know what they were. Yeah, we just know that he's So he killed himself because he was so hungry And they didn't want to starve today Wouldn't do it until he knew his family would be well taken care of with a bottle of Prozac 2.0 Yeah, this guy's considerate. He knows he has ideas and he executes Instead of using the pros like on himself to make him not upset about No, no, it's not it's not it's not that he would even become less hungry He would just be less depressed about that guy He might like in a desert something he is in a food land and there's no food Personally, this is our supermarket. We can just walk outside.  Yeah, well, maybe maybe he just maybe I don't know They need to follow his example, but now they got pros like to help them through the process Yes, so they can't kill themselves. Literally. They cannot do it. All right. This is the one I started We're just like suddenly no it's all over and then but what if No funeral no no no funeral payment on public property bitch $20 Okay, so this so this became Skinner here I guess and this is the crusty crack wait, this is Crusty burger it says KK.  Here's my thought process He's holding the shelf. Well, maybe Jesus just got mistaken. Yeah So what I presume is Tom made this Hippo Decided to do this for some reason and so my okay my thought process is Skinner knows this person is dead And like, you know, it's like like how am I supposed to body? But this is supposed to be this person It's all over Like oh It's just like this you so you're doing a steam. Well, well, okay I thought this was Skinner and this is a different case So he brought her to the KK and dug a hole so she could be buried here She and he wouldn't have to pay for the funeral payment. Oh, I'm from the property. We're got gotcha Okay That one's really high-concept. It is all right. All right. Here's the last one All right, so you got shovel in here, you know What's the gayest thing in contemporary Nostalgia I met a night like this On Shovely 2k forgiveness at any cost 400,000 tears dear God This is this tune Creek Y2k when he found out it was profile. Oh, it's a whole show Shovel why forgiveness at any cost and that is that is our friend. Yeah, that's our boy I like 400,000 tears shovel wool. Yeah shovel wool Um Dear God met and I it's very Comment that you they can't read fully it's about where the word bill but it says it would have said literally did nothing wrong Nothing illegal bad bad bad. Yeah. He's a good boy. Yeah a strong Any cause What's cause gonna forgive him he's gonna love and tolerate everything he does There's nothing they can be done you have to do this Do you think Twilight Sparkle couldn't find it herself to forgive him? Well, we should be more like we should be more like of course these are This just literally just like scan this Going to we're gonna scan this and put it on a t-shirt. You will be able to buy this link in the description You guys gonna do round two. Yeah, okay.  Okay, I tried to draw one thing and now it's just our house like because so like it doesn't actually it's not real You'll have to interpret it very very from very loose things It's just nothing these characters. I have just created are literally the peak I Can't wait to see you try When I assume I found your father Groveling in the in the battlefield. I Was there for your birth Monchi I Held I held a gun. I held a gun. I'm surprised you survived the radio waves I held a gun to the birth canal But I didn't pull the trigger. I thought you weren't worth it.   Yeah, sure.  All right. All right. I'm starting now Is anyone who this is supposed to be been no, okay Why No, no doesn't look like someone no questions. No questions. You had your time Yeah, me too, I've got I've got this I'm doing what I do. What did I take a drug or something? Digi home you're getting into drawing stuff Yeah, two minutes before they left. Oh, no They can't get much worse than that now this This is art like I should take a picture of this before it gets finished Like the fact that there are missing panels is what makes this incredible Also, I think I just showed everyone my diamond yara image I have as So that'll be funny People you're like, oh my god, what? Okay, like some ponies. There's not a pony And they know now though No They would have just seen something else Bleep out my whole audio How much time? I got one 59 seconds Yeah Would you look at that? I mean, what am I looking at? I mean, what are you doing?   I'm a genie and I didn't even believe it time One minute 50 seconds. What's so funny?  I'm so sorry. I failed I've I've I've gone from zero to here.  Maybe it's turned out. Maybe it's all I can't even parse this. Oh No, oh, no, I shouldn't be allowed to draw What's it smoke? Camel We'll do it. I literally interpreted that as what's a company that makes smoke I'm just like what are you talking about? Campbell's smoke Campbell's tomato smokes Okay, no more no more no more no more dry Yes, what are the worst one yet?  I think There's they there's definitely some variable quality going on here For the last two I I've taken to like redrawing the face of the main character But in like a thumb like a like a like a analog thumbnail version to the point where I don't preserve The integrity of the actual design and just kind of draw from memory really small what the character looks like in that Like like not like what he looks like but the way he's portrayed in like in one angle. You know what I'm saying sounds Not intelligible, but I like it The viewers will know everything be well, but I'm exactly Think I'm done.  What the we've drawn what will we merge up about it? I don't know. Well, we should know we should do We should eventually collect all these comics and make like an art book You know, that's not even a bad idea. That's a great idea. Hey, yeah, do we did we save the um the Stuff from ten paces. Do we save the they're right back there? Yeah, okay Those good we can we should put them all like all these of course all the original art from Brad Khan We should collect and Of course.   I started I Started I think I just started your one. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Okay. Okay. Okay, which one of you guys started Okay, okay, okay hippo all right so There's a guy. He says man. I hate getting bullied at school What are the Mormons doing here? Oh, you know the Lord's Oh, you know just drawing on the Lord's good road smoking the Lord's best weed Oh, that's a what is that a car blowing up? It's like it's that's it's a car in the road But it's all I don't know. I didn't had no idea what's going on What I tried to draw was like something and then I was like, I don't know what that is So I just made it a black two black holes with a smiley face And they're every all of like Life it's like you could basically kind of a building and a tree and some cars Yeah, yeah some sort of creature. No, I had no idea It does not help for like at the climax of a comic What I like I Know this is masturbatory, but just look at my panel here, man I hate getting bullied at school and then look at look at this person is posture says it all Look, you don't even need this Yeah Have no arms what will happen to me? This is a guy.  I love this character. He looks great. Yeah, and then I gave him nobly knees and That's what he says So I just I just thought well, I guess the mom must enter here in order to transition from this Okay, good We like your idea, but we won't give you a raise until we know for a fact That you your baby smokes tobacco. Oh, you know it portable So so honey, I'm home How could you how could you let our baby?   We're going to get our baby hooked up tobacco tonight. It started with just this panel, and I added this one. And I felt kind of bad for whoever got these two, because I was like, this is a whole joke right here. There's nothing else. It doesn't need it anymore. I mean, this helped me a lot. This is so much better with these two now. I mean, I'm really proud of that. Yeah. I mean, I'm so bad at this.  My rendition of Tom's character. You did it better. This is perfect. There's nothing I would improve. Not even looking at them, just looking at the table. I kind of like how it suddenly gets kind of realistic for one panel. Yeah, it kind of works.  This is a serious moment. This is a crisis. This is where the moment of all hinges on. I loved it. I loved it. All right, all right. Here we go. I'm cool. I am not the star of a political comic. The last panel is not canon. I'm my favorite. I'm your kid. Just kidding. I'm anti-antifa. I mean, just look at me. Some men can't. Oh, man. I'm doing it. I thought the logical progression is some men first. Yeah, yeah. Wait, you got it. What was here when you got it, HIPAA? I got these two. OK, so much. You did this one after this. OK. And then. I just gravitated towards this character.  And I made this weird pose. And I was like, this guy can't be tied to any sort of political ideology. He just is a nice guy. I just wanted the rest to just be about this guy, being everyone's favorite and their kid. But I guess my wishes were not granted this time. I know, but so I saw that and I thought, well, I can't let that happen. I'm so mad. We did it, boys. We made art. I love this one as well. This one's great. Wait, Tom, you did this one? No, that one. I think this one is OK.  I'm proud of my new character. Yeah, he's great. You should use him for something. It's a girl? I thought it was a girl. I thought it was a guy. I thought it was a girl initially as well. But then I thought this one was done first and there was facial hair. I just got real sloppy with the jawline. I thought that was like a beard or some sort.  It's a trend. Yeah, I guess maybe. I kind of like it both ways. This was really good. I think we can all agree what the winner is. Yeah. So good. We like your idea, but we willing to give you a raise until we know for a fact that your baby smokes tobacco. Oh, you know it. That sounds reasonable, guys. I understand. Thanks, boss. See you on Monday. You can't smoke weed. You can't smoke vane. He needs tobacco in his system now.  I want you gone. I think you just smoke tobacco.  Do you guys want to do another round? We need to go to bed right now. It's really late. OK. Well, thanks, everybody, for watching this clusterfuck of a draw cat. This was the best draw cat in the entire world. This is the best one yet. Yeah, for sure.  Use mine. Use mine is the coolest character of all time. Look at him.  He's pretty good. He's pretty good. I like his crotch. Sick. All right, bye. Bye. Bye. Game or gate, what more can I say?


Welcome, and welcome to ITU Telecom World 2013 here in Bangkok. I have me today the Director-General of the Rwandan Regulator, Mr. Francois Regis Gathrayiha, who is going to talk to me a little bit about what's happening in that market. Welcome today, Director-General. It's good to have you here. Good to see you. This event is really all about embracing digital changes in the, or embracing the digital world, in fact. Where do you see the biggest opportunities, particularly in terms of the changes for society? Well, the digital world is actually providing a lot of opportunities, especially opportunities that come with the convergence of communications technologies. And with convergence comes the investment opportunities. For example, we don't have, these days, you cannot talk about a mobile phone that doesn't do internet. You can watch a movie, you can watch a video on a mobile phone. And these come with better investment opportunities. What are the challenges that come with it, though? Yeah, with convergence, the challenges are huge as well in terms of regulation, how to separate the players in the market. We used to license differently, but now things have to change. So the regulators have to adapt to the convergence of technologies in terms of licensing as well. Do you have to, as a regulator, look at all the elements in that digital world and say, well, I can't regulate one and not regulate the other? Is it easy to do that, or do you have to change the way you look at regulation across the board? We definitely have to change the way we look at regulation. We have to embrace the changes, and we have to make sure that we don't create any bottlenecks for creativity, innovation that comes with the convergence of technologies. So our entire regulations have to be changed. What do you think are the biggest benefits for your own country? I mean, in Rwanda, moving from virtually a fixed-line environment to mobile, and now moving into the mobile broadband world with the announcement from China Mobile, what do you see the changes, what will occur in Rwanda? What will be the dramatic changes that you'll see? Well, we've already started seeing a lot of improvements in the way people do businesses, the way the kids are just interested in using a lot of internet, and the government has seen this opportunity. And we are already looking at a number of services. The government is providing about a thousand services online. So these have to be implemented and accessed through internet and broadband. Wow. Now, for yourself, what has been the biggest thing that you've experienced at this particular event? What are the benefits you've got from coming to ITU Telecom World? Well, ITU Telecom World 2013 was a very good platform for us to exchange views and see the technologies and how other countries are approaching the implementation of the new broadband technologies and big data. So it has been a very, very, very good experience for us. Well, it's been a great pleasure having you here today. Thank you for spending time with me. Thanks for having me.


Welcome everybody to the ENDS webinar on International Data Week, what happened in Denver? This is sort of a joint webinar, Andrew Chua and I, my name is Stephanie Kittes, we'll be talking for part of the time and then we get perspectives from a variety of participants of the International Data Week. So this is a brief outline, we'll just give a brief introduction, overview of the International Data Week and then we have eight people talking about specific aspects, sessions, outputs, things that they liked along the way during International Data Week. Okay to give a little bit of context, Codata holds a conference which is called CIDataCon every two years and this conference has a research focus. The research data lines as you may know holds a plenary every six months and the current plenary was the ex plenary so we've been doing this for four years and the plenary events have a strong practice focus and are meant for the research data lines working interest groups to come together and advance their work on their goals deliverables and also to bring people together to set up new interest in working groups and gauge the interest for them. So having those two things happen pretty much at the same time gave an opportunity for the planets to align as Andrew put it. This is the first time this has been tried and this resulted in International Data Week which had two days of CIDataCon on the Monday, Tuesday, a day in the middle called International Data Forum and two and a half days of the research data lines plenary at the end so the whole event ran from pretty much Monday morning until Saturday afternoon. And if you were involved in CIData Governments you were doing things on the Sunday before and there were even some co-located events on the Saturday. So the intention of this was to bring the International Data Community together. It also exhausted everybody I think although that wasn't the main intention of the event. Just to give some numbers altogether International Data Week had over 800 I think 816 participants from 42 countries which meant they attended some part of International Data Week not necessarily all of it. CIDataCon had about 640 participants and the RDA Plenary 8 had 551 participants from 33 countries. It was very good to see that 21 Australians registered for the plenary. The plenary had about just over 70 breakout sessions where the groups came together and did their work. And personally I was extremely surprised to see that over 60 people attended the RDA Newcomer session which happened to take place on Thursday morning at quarter past seven so I was immensely impressed to see nearly 70 people in the room. And that was really great. Okay, I'll now hand over to Andrew. And so essentially all of those numbers at least of the RDA segment can be right regardless having increased from previous years. So that's kind of consistent with the general growth trajectory for RDA as a whole. The people attending RDA for Newcomers, this was an innovation that we introduced in Plenary 3 and we've done ever since and this is clearly meeting a need. One of the characteristics of RDA, I'll talk about things in a minute, one of the characteristics is that the plenary moves around so it's held in different locations each six months. And as a result it picks up lots of people in the country or the region that it's in who've never gone before and don't really have any good sense of what RDA is and how it's different. And so the RDA for Newcomers is a great opportunity for those people to get a quick overview of what we're trying to do and some sense of how the plenary itself is structured. I was also particularly pleased with the significant increase in the number of Australians which is great. So the themes of the event were very, but there were some kind of common things that ran across them. So that kind of stuff is said is much more like a conventional conference. There are traditional papers, not actual paper, but there's publications that are associated with that. People speak as short questions of clarification. And this year they said even though the committee is the committee on data for science and technology and even though COData has traditionally had more of a policy focus, this year they decided they wanted to look at research data infrastructure and wanted to talk about issues of data sharing. They had a particular focus on central data and a particular discipline emphasis on earth and space science. The International Data Forum was in the middle and it was intended as the sort of the overlap day between SciDataCon and RDA plenary and a number of the stories that came out of responsibilities of scientists and scientists in quotes because it was deliberately all research onto science. And some of the data stories picked up the theme of sensitive data that SciDataCon had already talked about. And as you'll see in a little while, some of the talks that Stephanie and I like best were in that kind of overlap area. The RDA plenary doesn't really have themes the way a normal conference has themes. So a normal conference will have themes to help people structure what they're putting in under the call for proposals. RDA plenaries typically are much more focused on doing stuff and so these were not explicit themes that they were themes that ran across the two and a half days. So the first thing was that of the increase in momentum in RDA, this is an organization that's continuing to grow, continuing to have people become interested in it. The second theme was the theme of the impact that RDA is having through the results of its working groups and interest groups. And the third theme was the adoption of RDA outputs. And so to talk a bit about those, here is a list of the adoptions that were featured at this particular plenary. So the Brokering Governments Working Group had a series of recommendations for how you might construct connections between infrastructure components so that they go for a broker. You have a series of one-to-one connections into the broker rather than having to come up with multiple point-to-point connections. So that one's clearly got a very infrastructure builder focus. The Code Eight to Summer School Working Group is more focused on providing how you would provide researchers with skills in working with data, using a train-to-trainer model explicitly targeting Africa. Generally low and middle income countries. Yeah, the alert middle income country is going to have a particular focus on Africa this year. The Publishing Data Services Working Group, which is co-led by Adrian Burton, had its recommendations revolve around a thing called the SCOLIX framework, a framework for connecting together different infrastructure elements within the overall publishing data ecosystem. The Biosharing Registry produced a whole series of recommendations on how you might describe elements within the life sciences, and the MetaData Standards Catalog is attempting to do the oily ocean tasks of capturing all the MetaData standards they can get their hands on. In addition to that set of outputs, you'll notice those are all listed as WG on the slide. These are working group outputs. We have what we call supporting outputs from interest groups, a very comprehensive set of principles on legal interoperability from that interest group, and the 23 Things material coming out of the libraries for research data interest group now translated into lots of languages, and I was very pleasing to see the astonishing success of Anne's promotion of the 23 Research Data Things in Australia being highlighted at that event. In addition to those outputs, so the outputs are effectively, here are things that you can pick up and use. We had a whole series of talks at the plenary about, well, talks from groups who were actually adopting stuff, and I'm not going to go through all of these in detail. We have links at the end that we'll highlight when we get to that point to the videos. If you're all interested in looking at how RDA is making a difference in the activity of particular communities, I strongly encourage you to go to the adoption stories section of the videos, because there you've got people who aren't necessarily infrastructure builders talking about how they're using these outputs to improve either the support that they give to people with disciplines, or the actual work they do themselves. For instance, the data citation of rice, genome data is a strong focus of the interest group and agricultural data at the moment. So rather than try and summarise those, I would encourage you to go to those videos and have a look at those links. Maybe one comment. The data citation working group recommendations have been adopted by quite a few of those adopters, so if you're interested in dynamic data citation, it might be worth having a look at what's been done with those. And some of you may remember, Andrea Saralba gave a talk about that with this year, late last year.  And the recording of that is available from the end's page. Yes, of course, thank you. So that's to give you a sense of some of the activity that happened. We then thought rather than just point you at the websites for these three different events and say, have fun, we thought it might be useful to talk a little bit about some things that we liked. So Stephanie and I will start with things that we found of particular interest at the event, and then we have perspectives from a number of other Australian attendees who will talk about what they liked. So two things that I wanted to highlight. The first was going to be a birds of a feather session called Mapping the Landscape, which was really bringing people together who were interested in the topic of how do we map out all of the different activities that are happening in this area and get a sense of what's going on. And this was something that the hyperactive lesbian I've organized. And over the course of the week, she kept bumping into people who said, oh, we're doing a Mapping the Landscape activity as well.  And so that by Friday, when that session was actually held, it had actually turned into a Mapping the Landscape of Mapping activities. So I was trying to get a sense of who are all of the other people who are trying to do Mapping the Landscapes in various ways. And that for me was a real demonstration of two of the benefits of bringing lots and lots of data nerds together into one space. The first is that you've got lots of people in one spot who you otherwise wouldn't normally see. And I've said in the past that if all of the research data lines did was hold meetings twice a year, that would probably be it. They would get it alone without a value. And the second thing is that you bump into people and you have these serendipitous conversations. So Leslie didn't know a lot about a lot of these things. I didn't know a lot about a lot of these things. And so as a result of these serendipitous interactions, she was able to make that session much better. That group recognized, yet we are all trying to solve similar problems and we need to try and do this in a more coordinated way. And so this is going to be a birds of a feather that's going to turn into an interest group. And the interest group, in fact, there's already, or the proto-interest group, were already starting to think about are there particular tasks that we could spin off as working group activities, which might be precisely the way the RDA process is meant to work. The other thing that I wanted to highlight was a whole session on building a disciplinary world by data infrastructure. This was on the International Data Forum date. And so this was essentially a whole lot of groups reporting on how do we do infrastructure in our discipline and what are the science, in quotes, drivers for it and what are the lessons we've learned. And this was very broad. You can see it's not just hard sciences, it's linguistics and digital humanities. And as a quick way to get a sense of how different disciplines differ in, that's a very good way of doing it. I should also mention in this context the closing keynote for the International Data Forum day by Christine Bergman, who spoke about some early research that her group has been doing, especially on the same thing. We're looking at disciplinary differences around data sharing. There are some huge differences around data sharing and I think it's valuable for us to not just assume that data sharing is the same for everybody and we need to recognise there's a lot of nuance there. Stephanie? Okay. So I'll talk a little bit about two things that I liked. One of which is because my background is in quality of research, I've always been interested in how to share and when to share personal sensitive research data. And I particularly like to talk in one of the SciDataCon sessions on that by Neil Walker who talked about data anonymity and the fact that in many cases data anonymity actually makes data access harder because it looks like it works but it doesn't really and he brought a couple of examples of how and why the anonymisation doesn't work. So for example he had one data set that he mentioned where someone looked at a specific disease and aggregated the data by country. Now in theory that would have been great but for example in France there was just one person, two persons who actually came out of that data set, one was male and one was female. So the identification really didn't work in that case and that's something that I actually find quite interesting. The second thing I like is more a process kind of thing after having had several days of conference where someone stands at the front and talks and everyone in the back sits and listens to what does their email. What I found very refreshing was the interest group for archives and records professionals in RDA which for the second time in a row that I'm aware of actually set up in their breakout session, little breakout sessions. So they made little breakout groups with specific topics and really brainstormed and worked through the issues that they gave us to discuss and I found that a very refreshing and a very much more interactive way and I felt I was contributing way more than in a discussion where you have 30 people in a room and one person says something and the other 29 are listening. So I really enjoyed that and thought that was a very good way of doing this. Now, we have a list of people that have volunteered or have offered when asked to provide their perspectives. Okay, so Malcolm Olson, Griffith Hewney. I guess other than the opportunity to network, the one we're asked to think of something in particular, one of the interest groups I've been involved with for about 18 months is the, calls itself the long tail of research data interest group. We were going to have a meeting at Denver so we decided just to give it some focus, a few of us tabled a document, 10 ways to support the long tail of research but it quickly became apparent that we'd missed the target completely. So the way the meeting, the interest group agenda was we tabled the document and then had 10 two-minute speakers to respond to the document and we had the likes of Christine Borgman, someone from Mendeley and Fig Share. We had a rep from the European Open Science Cloud. So a really wide variety of different senior representatives from different groups, if you like. And as we worked, they went through and gave their two-minute response. Most didn't like what we've written. Not that there was anything wrong with the content but missed the target. The end result was that we should be, if we're targeting funders, we should be thinking about the long tail of research data in terms of orphan data rather than our perspective which is the long tail of research. But I guess the key, the interesting bit I found about the whole exercise was nine or 10 people from a wide variety of international organisations talking for two minutes can come to a pretty quick conclusion about where we should be heading which is very hard to do through an online interest group but also typically other conferences where you only get one or two of those people speaking. You don't actually get them in a room to contribute to a 90-minute discussion on where to from here. So I found that particularly valuable and I don't notice that in many other conferences where you get a lot of broad spectrum from all sides, from institutions, from vendors, from government representatives, from key people like Christine Borgman talking to a particular topic in a practical sense. Thank you very much, Malcolm. That was very interesting. Hamish Holler, are you there? Thank you. Hamish Holler from Griffith University and the Queensland Cyber Infrastructure Foundation. He was fortunate enough to also attend research data reliance in Denver. I actually kind of found it to be quite a good organisation with a good method to both network but also to understand how a lot of the larger collaborative programs, so the sustainability, global sustainability goals, the group of Earth observations, our co-data, our side data and RDA actually worked together to actually promote and formalise best practice and standards and actually to get much greater awareness across this kind of landscape. It was also quite... I also attended a workshop called the... an interest group called the Virtual Research Environments Science Gateways and opportunities for developing a more coordinated approach to interoperability across different systems. This is of particular interest as it provided an international perspective on things that we classify here as virtual laboratories and how in Australia we've been doing and what is the challenges and lessons learned in the international context. Within that session there was... well, there was three speakers, four speakers may have been included, but there was a speaker from Purdue University who was leading the Nano Hub or Hub Zero initiative, which has got about 1.4 million users at the moment, and then there was also a person, Demetrius, that was leading a virtual research environment in the UK. What it was really actually... what was quite interesting is that I think Australia is actually quite organised actually in this approach within virtual laboratories in the infrastructure approach, but sustainability came up as a key issue and how do we actually kind of grow these kind of services, and there was similarities across those international contexts, so there was the approach of expanding vertically quickly to provide that proof of concept and also to show value was universally recognised. You need to also always be justifying your existence and measuring your impacts and measuring impact is not just always about users, but it's about what they do with that and that could be research and government. And also that a strong kind of method that when you're approaching developing these environments is that really you're starting a small enterprise as such. It's not just a program or a platform. You need to think about learning and you need to think about teaching and how you actually integrate this into curriculum and into research practice. A particular note there from HubZero and Nanotech was that they see uptake in learning for their research tools, so in education first. There's been nine-month lag before that actually comes into research despite having a research driven agenda. Just quickly from my perspective, the breadth of topics actually was quite bewildering. Anything from social to biodiversity to health, digital humanities and everything in between. And it was a great networking event and a lot of people attended, so thank you. Okay, thanks so much, Hamish. Yes, it was a bit overwhelming, I think, for all of us in fact. I mean, nearly seven days of this was quite... quite overwhelming. It is possible to have too much page right now. Okay. Thanks very much. Next, Sara, Mr. from ESSA, if you're there. I am here. And yeah, so I'm Sara Disbett. I'm from E-Researchers A in South Australia and just quite grateful to have power at the moment. So I recently became the project lead for the RDS 1.6 Cultures in Community project. So I attended the RDA plenary sort of in that context. So I was particularly interested to sort of find out what the interest groups around the digital practices in history and ethnography and the archives and records professionals was sort of doing and what was happening in those spaces. And Stephanie, I guess, my experience was similar to yours and perhaps my favorite thing was attending that archives and records meeting and just the sort of interactive nature of it and being able to sort of participate actively rather than sort of listening to the participant. So I mean, I sort of broke off into a working group around skills and training for sort of digital skills and training for archives professionals and sort of able to share what some of our plans were in the RDS project and some of the things that we want to achieve in the next phase of the project and really enjoyed that opportunity to sort of like be actively engaged. I also, this was my first RDA plenary and sort of feel like quite a newcomer to this space. So I enjoyed the newcomer session and yeah, I thought it was a very positive experience. I learned a lot and I think what I really wanted to achieve was to sort of improve my understanding of the research data landscape and I think it did that. I think moving forward, I really want to see how the outcomes of the RDS project, how they sort of pan out and how we can feed that back into the archival interest groups. So yeah, so thank you, Anne, for the opportunity. Okay, thanks very much, Sarah. Okay, the next speaker would be Richard Lyons from the Victoria State Government Department and I'm sure I'll forget something. It was jobs, transport, economy, resources, and something else. Richard, if you're there, I've got your slide here. We're from the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources, so well done, Stephanie. It's a mouthful and we're part of the Agricultural Victoria portfolio. I just reiterate my hands for supporting us in attending the RDA. I found the RDA and both Kieran and I found the RDA a very well-organized, it was an exceptionally well-organized event. It was also really heartening to see so many interest groups trying to grapple with some of the problems that we've been noticing in our closets, if you like, in our work practice in place. And so the sort of pragmatic, practical approach of conversations on a global scale was really something that was outstanding. And so the thing that stood out to me was, for my own particular point of view, is that I attended a number of the sessions, including the archives one, and I too found that really useful. And across the sort of five or six areas that I focused on, we began to be able to build a map of all of the various elements that we're having to grapple with in our work in relation to data management. And so I've mapped that out there just through probably a couple of hours just of thinking and discussing this with a few people. And it is the case that our department actually touches almost all of those areas. So we've got one of the most complex working dynamics that I've ever experienced in my working life. And so we touched just about all of those elements in the matrix. And so it was, and then we also observed the various activities around the enabling features, data management plans, interoperability strategies, and so on. So to be able to put that all together in a bit of a landscape was the most useful thing to me, and we hope to work with a number of our stakeholders to actually create some web resources to link all of these, to provide some, and link to RDA activities in all of those areas over the next six or so months. And we also took into the meetings a very strong interest in archival and records management because of a particular tool that we've invested in the department. And we were exceptionally pleased to notice that that tool seems to be well conceived and for what many of the people are grappling with. So we're very pleased to have that sort of feedback. So I will stop there, I think, and just thank you once again to Ann's. Thanks so much, Richard. Kieran Murphy, also from the department, did you want to add something? Yes. Definitely. Andrew, thanks again and just echo Richard's thanks to Ann's for the support to head over to the conference. It was certainly, I'd want to say it's the best event I've been to in my professional time here at the department in ten years, maybe selfishly because it's very much right down the problems that Richard said we've been grappling with and I was a little bit concerned before we left, you know, with some of the, you know, the world we're in and going there with the quality of the speakers and presentations there that could have been a little bit over my head, but it was right down the alley and we've got so much from it. So thanks very much to Ann's for the support. Just a really practical example, you know, obviously the newcomers for RDA session was really valuable to go there and I think Stephanie Moore said there was, there might have been 60 people at that session, or 60, 80, so it looks that the RDA model is growing. There's a lot of new people there. So basically being a newcomer and then participating in the events during the week and all the breakouts, obviously, really excited to go along to things such as the, you know, an emerging interest group in agile data curation, which is a really data curation, is a high priority capability area that we're focusing on in our area and I know we're called the big long name but we also are a branch, we're a division called Agriculture Victoria so whilst we're representing digital our interests are in the agriculture sector but obviously the lessons we've learned there will be spread further across the department. So just probably, I've got a lot of notes, I've actually only just landed back in the office today. I took a few days off since when I got back from the US because Richard and I extended our visit to University of Illinois and post-Denver so that was really valuable because the learnings from Denver got supported and I guess furthered in what we worked out in the university and the context there. So I'll have some time together and my thoughts and put together our report and we're happy to share that with everyone but as Richard said, it really does align to the problems we've been grappling with, the product that we've, the tool that we've developed in the last few years which was very well received over there and we hope we can contribute that to the Australian landscape in whatever shape or form and I'm sure we'll be doing that through ends but practical take home is around that the working groups and the interest groups in agile data curation has emerging interest group which I've joined and then the working groups that reported on that are really relieved to see some artwork that the commons and the fair principles have created. So I might go on too much longer. Stephanie, thanks for giving us a chance to catch up. Thanks, June and maybe we can talk about, say, if you wanted to present your report as a blog post or something like that we could help you with that. Okay, and Anita, how are you doing? Yes, hi everyone. I again am getting feedback. I think it's better now, no, it's improved. Yes, so thanks again to Anne's for contribution towards going to the sessions. In fact, if it wasn't there, I'm from Tern Ecoinformatics at the University of Adelaide and mainly work on the ECOS portal and also the shared data submission tool. And we're basically on subsistence money so it was really important to visit. And for me, I guess in terms of what we do here, I'm in the data sort of publishing realm and I guess my role is trying to merge or bring together publishing policies in a way that really reflect long established science practice. And I've been reading a lot about the co-data recommendations and papers and that and also the RDA recommendations. So it was absolutely fabulous to actually get there and see how these two groups work together collegially to sort of guide us in an international sphere in this area. So that was really important to participate in that. I was kind of like a kid in a candy shop. There were so many things that I could have gone to of interest. But the one that really stood out for me and it was mentioned in Simon Cox's talk in the plenary but also was mentioned in quite a few other sessions. And this is the notion of trustworthiness of the data that is published openly in repositories and things like that and how the recommendations that are coming through in terms of principles and guidelines through the RDA, from the various working groups may well give some kind of basis for working out or identifying the levels of trustworthiness in terms of our infrastructure. So that had huge implications for the kind of systems, the infrastructure that Tern has and it really overflowed in a whole range of areas. It came through in terms of ontologies and generalities you could have in ontologies in terms of control vocabs it came through and it also came through in this whole notion of reproducibility and the different like I hadn't realized there were three levels of reproducibility or three types of reproducibility so that was absolutely fascinating. Going forward, I guess from a Tern perspective it would be really great to use some of our infrastructure as case studies for the next lot of working group activities, particularly in the publishing data services and in that space we'd really like to be involved in that. And it's good to feel that you're not alone in thinking about these things. It was really great. Thank you. And also it's the location, the organization. It was just brilliant. It was a really well run, well run sort of week. Thanks to everyone. Thanks very much Anita.  So we do have a bit of time for questions at this point. We thought we should provide you with some information where you can go and look further. So there was a quite an active conference in terms of tweeting under a number of different hashtags, hash IDW 2016 and hash RDA plenary for the plenary event. For those of you that are looking at the hash IDW 2016 hashtag now and wondering why there are so many tweets about deafness, it's because after we ran our event there was international deafness week for 2016 and we got a hashtag collision. But the archive that's listed on the screen there, please don't try and memorize that. It will be in the slides which will be available after the session on the ANDS events page. But that just captured the tweets for these events. The programs themselves online with links to the presentations. So if you download the slides or the slides you can, there's also videos for much of the material, not however the breakout sessions for the actual research data reliance plenary, only for the sessions that were happening in the main room. Much of the work of RDA as you've heard already happens in working groups and interest groups and these were in 8 parallel tracks or something like that. And so there isn't video from those, but there's certainly video from the main space. And most of the groups that help the breakout sessions have material either being from the program or from their group pages. And finally there's some blog posts that are being aggregated together. They currently sit on the codator at the moment or the codator at all websites. But there's blog posts for a whole range of people including RDA people that's simply being used to a point to pull them together. So lots of additional information for people to go and look at if they want. So, having said that, Suzanna. All right, thank you, yes. Stephanie has reminded me that too much RDA is barely enough to quote Roy and HG and if you would like more information on RDA, Stephanie and I are running two bots at E-Research. One is essentially on why you might want to use the Research Data Reliance to solve particular data problems. So you've heard already today for a number of people about how they got value out of the RDA experience and process in realizing other people tackling the same problems. We're running a bot that will help you understand how you can get more involved in RDA in terms of building solutions. And then the second bot is focused on how you might adopt some of those outputs that we talked about at the start of this webinar. So if you're interested in either of those, they'll be on at the E-Research conference if you're coming to that. And bearing in mind that RDA has produced quite a few more outputs than the ones that were presented at this particular plenary because the plenary output sessions only talk about outputs that are either presented for the first sort of plan out where working groups finish and present their outputs at this plenary or where they are going to be finishing in the next six months and will be presenting their final outputs at the next plenary. So on the RDA website, there is a page under outputs and recommendations called all outputs and recommendations, I think. And then you'll find a list of probably over a dozen at this point. Okay, so Suzanna, has anyone typed any questions in chat? Actually, no. Okay, well, so if no one has any questions, this is your last chance. Oh, no, actually, no one's got any. Here we go. What do you think of the priorities for ANZ in the follow-up? The follow-up to International Data Week. I guess the priority, well, I don't know if I can speak for ANZ as a whole. I can certainly speak personally, and I should explain that Stephanie and I, we work for ANZ, but in a sense, we work for RDA as well. Stephanie, I think, literally works for RDA as their Director of Operations three days a week, and I work in air quotes for RDA as Co-Chair of the Technical Advisory Board. And so I suppose, well, do you want to give your answer first and then I'll give my answer? Okay, so my answer would be really very much in line with the slide that's on the screen at the moment. I would like to see more Australians using the RDA processes to solve data problems, so more involvement in working groups and interest groups. The fact that more people from Australia were coming to this event was great. The positive stories that we've heard today were also great. I'd like to see more Australians involved in using RDA and not just in running it. And then the second thing I guess that I'd like to see from an ANS perspective is more adoption of the outputs. So if you may have heard Rhys Francis in the past talk about how Australia should be not trying to reinvent the wheel all the time in the research infrastructure, we should be adopting what's happening overseas. RDA is a great place to go to look for things that you can adopt. Data Citation, Stephanie mentioned, is just one example of that. So more people involved in solving problems through RDA and more people involved in picking out outputs would be an answer. Yeah, so more people in Australia getting benefits out of the research data lines is I guess how we could summarize that. And part of why we are doing those first and final sessions at your research is because not everybody knows a lot about the research data lines. We just want to make sure that more people have a chance of hearing about it and hearing what it can do for you really and how you can help it as well. So it can be a win-win situation. As the RDA Director of Operations, I have a strongly internal role, so at the moment I'm actually trying to make sure that some of the processes within the research data lines work more smoothly. So that is my priority following up from International Data Week, which has nothing to do really with the outward reaching phase of RDA but more with making sure that people actually can use the research data lines and can get benefit from it by making sure the organization works smoothly. I'm just wondering if RDA website collaboration for OSF website the working group I joined was using OSFOS. As in OSF.io. So the OSF.io, if I understand the question correctly, OSF.io is a hosted platform for research collaboration. You can think of it as being a little bit like a light form of a virtual laboratory, although it's mostly focused on managing data rather than on integration with tools. You could use it for some of the kind of collaborative activity that the RDA also supports, but the intention of the research data reliance website is basically to do two things. The first is to provide information about what RDA is and how it's structured and what it does and its outputs as Stephanie has already identified. But there's a second if you like once you log in as a registered RDA member and anyone can become an RDA member for free. Once you log in and join particular groups, each of those groups have their own space with mailing lists and wikis and file repositories that they can use to manage their own processes and outputs. One of the reasons that some people decide to use the RDA system is simply because it gives them all of that collaboration infrastructure for free. I hope I answered what I think the question was. Maybe just to add one thing. As Andrew said, the RDA website of course also has the purpose of showing information on the RDA, and we also have requests for comments open normally, so that means on the RDA website you can find documents that are currently under what we call community review and where we actively ask the community to provide comments. For that purpose, the RDA website is a central point to do so. I think one of the priorities for other institutions in Australia is to participate more in the review of the outputs before they become outputs. They're published on the RDA website. I guess what we're looking for is feedback on whether, well how practical their recommendations are and whether they can be adopted within your institution. Even if it's a good comment or a negative comment, constructive criticism, it would be useful, because no comment doesn't give you a good direction whether it's a good recommendation or not, so the more feedback about the outputs that are up for community review the better. I'd like to see more Australians involved with that process. That's a great point now, Malcolm. I was taking a slightly parochial tab focus on things rather than thinking broadly, more broadly. I should emphasise the incredibly valuable role that the organisational assembly members play in RDA, because they're the people who are working in organisations that are going to be adopting the outputs. So their role in the RDA process is extremely important. Any other questions, Suzanna? There's another one. It says is there a particular place for the draft outputs? Is that the question? Yes, is there a particular page for these draft outputs? There's the outputs page. Yes, so on the one hand there's the outputs page which is under outputs and recommendations all outputs and recommendations. That's a list of outputs. The first set is endorsed outputs, which means they're the ones that have already gone through the review process. We have recommendations currently being endorsed or something like that. Hang on, let's just have a look. What's it actually called? Recommendations with RDA endorsement in process and they're the ones that we actually really like those comments on. And we do highlight some of these in the request for comments box. Once the recommendations have been formally submitted to RDA for consideration, they end up in the request for comments box and that's when we really, really, really want community comments. And also comments from the organization members that are presented by the organization because what we're trying to determine is whether these outputs are actually useful to anyone, to real people, not just in theory. A fit for purpose. A fit for purpose and also yet adoptable with reasonable amount of effort. If you go to rd-alliance.org right up at the top of the screen there's the words recommendations and outputs and that will let you get to that. Okay, there's one more question which says what has been discussed in Denver about the facilities for developing countries? So I can point to a couple of things. One was as I mentioned the RDA summer schools. It's got a particular focus on improving the standard of education in data issues for researchers from developing countries. There was a keynote from one of the RDA council members K.A. Raza Roka from Botswana talking not just about issues relating to Botswana but about data issues ranging across the whole of the African continent and the other thing I point out is that although RDA is currently the RDA membership is drawn primarily from Western Europe and the United States consciously working to expand that out and so we have an increasing number of members from South America and in fact at this election the current technical advisory board election which is closing real soon now one of the candidates is from India so we are starting to broaden out the geographical base for RDA which from my point of view is extremely welcoming. And one of the adoption stories that was presented at the RDA was the one about rice. They were working with people in the Philippines. The International Rice Research Institute is the leader of the interest group on agricultural industries from Brazil Argentina. So the agricultural cluster of interest in working groups actually has a better involvement with geographical spread. So they become Adali who is from India she is one of the top candidates she is also heavily involved in the agricultural interest group for example. It is sort of natural that not so much Africa I don't think. Okay we have another question which says CoData RDA Research Data Science Summer School will it happen in Australia? If not, why? I have no idea. Can I answer that one? No, sure. So this was something we've been talking with Simon from CoData and Simon Hodson and Cusif and just trying to get ahead around what's the difference between what CoData offers as a summer school and what we offer already in Australia and things like software carpentry. I think we're looking at all the carpentry and some of the sub-components. The thing about the CoData especially the one in Trieste it's a three week summer school and they did target a lot of a lot of the participants were funded from various sources from developing countries. So I guess our last conversation around this topic with Cusif is will people really turn up for a three week conference in Brisbane or Melbourne or is it better offered in shorter modules and if they're in shorter modules where we already run software carpentry so what are the missing elements? So definitely like the curriculum's open there's some parts of the curriculum they offer that we have big gaps in especially around visualisation and probably some of the HPC machine learning stuff but I suspect that there's courses around Australia online that are already meeting that need as well so probably to reiterate an earlier problem why we wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel if there is some good programmes already available so it's a matter of I guess trying to decide do we want a summer school or get more managed or focused or get a coherent group of courses together under a banner if that makes sense but definitely the CoData sorry to say the CoData Open Curriculum especially if you can find the one at TRIEST is quite interesting to have a look at. I'll put the link where the materials are deposited into the slides as well and I should also make the point that the developers of the curriculum for the RDA summer school were talking closely with David Flanders about the links with the RESBAS curriculum and I believe there's significant overlap between the RESBAS curriculum and the summer school curriculum so in a sense much of the material that was covered has already been offered in Australia through the RESBAS vehicle we're over time so I think we might wrap it up there thank you all for attending thanks in particular to the Australian attendees who provided their perspective on the event the slides including those links will be available on the events page real soon now and thanks for coming in enjoy the rest of your day


So what will you say to like a young person that may be watching that is thinking of owning their own business? So I am here at the health fair, and I wanted to introduce you guys to Ashley and Junie. They are the owners Yes, these young looking females are the owners of Sapphire And so it is a essentially a group home, but we're calling it Sapphire house And so they own this business they specialize in a particular disease But I'm gonna let them talk to you about that you can just get a little bit of information from them So tell me what is your health care background? So my name is Ashley. I'm a registered nurse. That's my background. I started off working at a nursing home as a nurse today, and I made my way up to the nursing And yeah, that's my background So my name is Junie and my background is more on the administrative side So I did case management here in Ohio, and I worked with seniors With the central area agency on aging. So that's kind of how I got So we kind of Did you guys always know that you wanted to start a business? I think we always do. We wanted to start a business. Yeah, I think life experiences brought us to this business And can you tell us a little bit about your business about Sapphire house? Yeah, so Sapphire house is a residential care facility I we like to compare it to an assisted living But instead of it being such a huge facility, it's a small home setting So we take up to five residents. It's a two to five staff to resident bridge And we provide personalized care, so we do everything for them as far as like laundry meals Anything that requires their care we do Partnered up with our local Alzheimer's Association So we provide education as a component of the work that we do in the community We like to educate families who have members who might be affected by the disease So why Alzheimer's? Why did you guys? Choose Alzheimer's or partner with Association about So me personally like I said, I worked in a nursing home and I realized that people with Alzheimer's or dementia Tend to be the ones that are left out. They can't speak for themselves. They need an advocate So at that point I was drawn to them We've also been affected by the disease personally in our lives We've had family members that have been diagnosed or we're showing signs of the disease What is the one thing that you want people to know about Alzheimer's? The one thing that we want people to know is that we are Passionate about making sure that the care that we provide is personalized to the individual It's not, you know, an institutionalized setting where everyone's getting the same thing to eat or everyone has to do the same thing during these hours We really love to learn about what the person's life was before they got dementia And then we try to create that atmosphere for them even though they're in the Even though they're you know battling the disease we try to use as many things from their past to kind of keep them Overall we're creating a new standard for senior health Good so what will you say to like a young person that may be watching that is thinking of owning their own business? I will say Educate yourself on whatever business that you're going into educate yourself on the rules, the laws, the regulations Make sure you know everything that you mean before really diving in I would say it is gonna be hard. You just kind of have to keep pushing yourself Go pass those obstacles All right. Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it again Be as good for your patients for your family members and educate yourself Those are the two things that I learned from these beautiful young ladies over at Sapphire


5 a.m. we're back at it early today because I have to have a trailer in a dock in Winnipeg at 6 a.m. So here we are about up at 4 a.m. Didn't have much time to get ready this morning, but I got everything ready last night so that I could just wake up, grab my stuff, jump in the pickup and go. So now we've got to quickly start up the truck, let it warm up a bit, grab our trailer and head out. I'd like to be there at quarter two at least. Tim Hortons wasn't even open that early. I had to get 7-Eleven coffee. I was so confused. I showed up. Is it Tim? He's always open? What do you do when Tim's isn't open? Thank God for 7-Eleven. 7-Eleven's always open. You can trust them. Morning, girl. It's early, I know. How was your weekend? Well, her oil's looking good, so wake up. There's another gauge there yet. There you are. I know, Mondays, right? Mondays. Before you're supposed to be in the dock, we can get there a little early park and go let them know we're there so that we're there bang on time. That makes sense? I'm still tired. It's Monday. I kind of figured, but I didn't want to just leave the trailer there if they hadn't given me specific instructions to. I couldn't remember if on Friday they said just drop the trailer, come back, or wait there with the trailer till it's unloaded. Before 6 a.m., I got into the dock, bumped the dock at 6 a.m. sharp. By the time I got my paperwork ready and everything set in motion for them to unload me, it was about 6.30, so it was just an extra half hour I had to remember. Or do you have changes so I don't have to remember? But if you don't have one of those, did you forget? It used to be such a big deal every day like savings time. Everybody would forget to change their clocks and everyone would be to work late or something or early. For this weekend, I can feel it. I didn't sleep as well as I wanted to last night. I was worried that I wasn't going to get up. I kept checking my alarm to make sure my alarm was set for 4 a.m. I didn't want to sleep through it. And then when I finally fell into a nice deep sleep, my alarm went off. Wonderful. I'm doing okay. I'm doing okay. I thought I'd be more tired, but I feel good. I must have slept better than I thought I did. I kept waking up. The sunrise over there. Just bob tailing right now. No trailer behind us. Move really good. They move pretty fast when you don't have a trailer behind you. What today is going to hold for us if I'm getting off early because I started earlier, if I'm still working to the end of the day, I'm guessing I'm probably still going to work to the end of the day. All right, so South perimeter. East is that way because that's where the sun comes up. Beautiful sunrise. I thought we're on daylight saving time. It actually comes up later. See it's 730 already. It still hasn't come up, but I'm going to go home today and it'll still be up in the sky. I don't like daylight saving time. I'm not a fan. I like to sketch one. You know, they don't do that. It's always the same time there. Look what I got guys. Fixing those horns today. I really like the fender mirrors. I know some people think it looks ridiculous. It does look a little goofy, I guess, from this angle. Now that we're used to the other view. Functional. You know, that may not look the prettiest. It definitely needs to be shined up, but hey, this whole thing needs to be shined up and now it doesn't look like I got horns. Being in the city a lot, even they're everywhere at the same time. I'm giving space here and move over here. You want to build it big enough that it can handle rush hour, but you don't want to like spend a whole ton of money into it and make it too big. I couldn't do it guys. I couldn't do it. I got them down in here. All I could think of was Mickey Mouse. That's very distracting when you're trying to do some serious trucking. When all you can think about is Mickey Mouse. So it's not going to work. So we just pulled in here real quick. I lasted half an hour. There's my key there. It's all I could do. I'm sorry. I won't do that to you again. I'm sorry man. She was mad. Continue going. We won't do that. Mickey Mouse voice in my head the whole time driving me crazy. I think it looks way better and way slicker like this. The horn's off. Don't worry. We're back to having the horns here. Oh Mr. Ford, you can go. You're faster than me. Go on. I'm just going to hold you up. You too, minivan. You got to get to hockey practice. Come on. I'm going to bring my tools from home tomorrow. I don't have my Allen wrenches with me here. I have a new set today just for that. So I'm going to take them with me. Usually I have them in my pickup, but I have no excuse. Better if they wouldn't have looked like Mickey Mouse ears. If they could have made them look a little nicer and slicker. But nah, it's just a little extra chrome I have to shine up. Whatever. We'll be fine. On last week up here, they're losing their snow. Good for them. Rather get a side by side. So many choices of where to park. Just slip it right in there in one shot and not have to pull forward at all.  Guess I could have just refilmed it until I got it right. But kind of want to go home. So that's what you get. Haha, to pull forward ones. Another one with that. We'll do better next time.


Some people explain it that they feel more connected, a place where they feel higher resonance or higher vibration or even a presence.  How did you feel? Did you feel healthier? Did you feel happier? Did you feel more alive? And have you ever had that experience in your life where everything just worked out perfectly? And everything that you did was successful and everything flowed naturally and easily. Or have you experienced the opposite of that? Everything you did just failed miserably and it's just roadblock after another. So secret number three in my webinar is how to use life force to transform your spirit. Now if you remember, secret number one is how to use life force to transform your body and secret number two is how to use life force to transform your mind. Now this is the third secret on how to transform your spirit. So in Chinese we have the concept of shen which means spirit or soul. We also have the concept of feng shui which is the study of how life force or qi flows through a geographic space or a building or your home. And feng shui is based on the 64 trigrams which is based on sacred geometry. So you're probably wondering, okay so what's all this about? Well did you know that our planet earth has magnetic field and then that field has a grid? What we just found was that on this grid some lines had stronger electromagnetic forces than other ones. And what we've discovered is something called lay lines. If you study the most sacred sites on earth you'll find that the pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, the Emperor's palace in China and many temples around the world from different religions and different cultures were built on these specific lay lines. And not only the location of these places were specific but also the geometries of how they were built.  And that really depends on what your fundamental role view is.  Or do you believe that there is a higher power, that we are part of a greater design and that our consciousness actually does continue on after death? If your world view is just the first one, well just come to the webinar and learn about how life force can transform your body and mind. And just cover your ears when we start talking about secret number three. Because in secret number three we're going to start transitioning into the shun which means the spiritual aspects of life force. If you study many different cultures and religions, for example the Tao, Zen, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and even mystics, you'll find that they all connect back to a single source of life force consciousness. Alright so I know that this might sound a Machiavellian but what if we can tap into this life force source of energy through some technology? Imagine you have the technology to duplicate the energies from these places in your own home and tap into this source of life force regardless of the position of where you live. What if we can duplicate the geometric forces, the frequencies and also the geometries of these sacred places? I think a lot of the technology today, whether it's designed to or not, is actually shutting down that spiritual faculty in our beings. It's making us sicker physically and mentally and stunting the ability for us to use our minds to the full potential. And I think it's limiting our ability to connect to our higher power and to connect to the source of life force. So why not counteract all this with technology that you own that will protect you and actually open up and harmonize the flow of life force so that you can have smooth sailing in your life? So if you're open-minded and you're searching for answers, then you must come to my webinar. Don't miss it. Market and your calendar is coming up real soon. Make sure you come early so you don't lose your spot. I'm really excited to see you soon in my life force webinar.
