For today's Monday makeup lesson, I'm going to show you how to create this soft sheer glam makeup look. A few weeks ago, I showed you how to create a very similar look using more rosy, blushed tones for more of the cooler skin tone. And then this week, we're going to be focusing more on the warmer skin tone and potentially even an olive skin tone as well. Now before we get started with the look, if you're new to the makeup chair channel, make sure you are subscribed below. And if you like this type of content, please give it a thumbs up because it really helps me know. So to start off this look, I've already applied my face primer and also my eyeshadow primer as well. So we are prepped and ready to go. But before we start applying any makeup, I want to briefly run through the type of shades that we're going to be using today. So we're staying in a golden base. So a lot of golden, bronzy tones. Eyeshadows are blushes and also our liners and lipsticks. So I'm kind of keeping it in those beigey golden tones to work really well for those warmer skin tones. Pretty much the opposite to what we did last time where we used more of those pinky tones. We're going to focus more on the golden tones and definitely let me know which category you fit into. So I'm going to start off with the eyes. I'm going to start off with this shade, which is sort of like a yellowy, greeny, beigey tone. I'm going to apply that with a small brush. This is the E01, one of my favorites. And this shade is about one shade darker than my skin tone or at least the tan that's on my body, but not on my face. And we're going to apply this starting first in the crease of the eye and then blending it down onto the lid. Now a little technique that I like to do is to keep swapping over and back with a clean blending brush. So I use one for applying and then one for blending. So I'm going to be using the E13 by Blank of Us Cosmetics to softly blend out any harsh lines and to create that soft, kind of smoky effect. It's all about applying and then blending. So very slowly build this up, making sure to get that soft blended blurry appearance. And then you should end up with something that looks like this. Now for under the eye, if you're new to the makeup chair channel, this is what we like to do. We like to take our little brush and we like to squash it down even though it's a little tricky with very long nails. But we want to apply the shadow underneath the eyes using this technique of fanning out the brush to get really close to those lashes. Or alternatively, you could just use a small pencil brush.  There's nothing on this brush. It's actually just there for blending. Now our next shade is very similar to the first one, but this time it has a shimmer. You want to use something with like a reflective sheen to it. That's really important for this look. And all I'm going to use is my fingertips to apply this, starting at the lash line and then blending up across the lid. Do not blend it up too far. Keep it low on the lid. And I very lightly apply this just in the center underneath the eyes as well. But that's totally optional. Now eyeliner. So I didn't want to just go for a black smudge liner. I actually wanted to go for more of a bronzy one. And I actually like to test out the different liners, particularly from using a color to make sure that it's going to work with the original eyeshadow.  Because I loved this shade.  So I'm going to apply this on the lash line and then just use my fingertips to smudge it out. Alternatively, you can use a brush if you don't feel comfortable using your fingertips. But I love that kind of undone messy blur that you get with your fingertips. And you can also repeat the same process underneath the lashes on the lower lash line as well. So again, as close to the lashes as possible. And then on the waterline, I'm going to brighten the eyes a little bit. And I'm going to be using a nude color. Don't use a white, particularly if you have a warmer skin tone. Those nudie shades are a lot better. So pretty much match your skin tone. And I'm going to go ahead and apply some mascara. So what I typically do with my mascara is like a new thing that I've been doing is I coat all of the lashes very evenly in one coat. And then I softly sweep inwards on like pulling the mascara wand inwards to add that kind of a fluffy effect. It's also great if you have wide set eyes as well, because it brings your eyes closer together. Now if you're not sure the average spacing of your eye, it's usually about one eye length apart. So whatever the length of your eye is, it usually then should fit in the middle. If you're not sure or just want to give it a go, you can always just grab your finger and your thumb, measure one eye and then put it in the middle. If you poke yourself in the eye, your eyes are close together. And if you have some space, it means your eyes are wider apart so you can do what I do and bring the mascara in. However, if you're just touching tear duct to tear duct, then you probably have the average spacing. So you can kind of just swap and change however you like. Now moving on to the face, I'm going to grab my f20 and I'm also going to grab my foundation, which went missing. I was having one of those things where it's right in front of you, but you can't see it. Anyway, I went ahead and applied my mineral foundation. I'm not going to go into too much detail in this, just apply whatever foundation you like to use. I'm using the f20 because I love it so much. Another brush that I also love is the f41 and I'm going to be using this for everything else that we're going to be doing today. So I'm first of all going to take a matte shade that has a cooler or more of a gray undertone.  And what I do is I take a very small amount and I work this into the hollows of the cheeks. And a really good idea is to keep moving your face around to see where the natural contour is and then just simply emphasize it. I don't like to bring contour shades around the forehead as they can look a little muddy. So that's why I opt for something a little bit warmer and I can also then use this on the cheeks as well. Then when I'm applying this onto the cheeks, I just kind of tap along the upper part of the apple and a little higher as well, basically where I would typically apply blush. Because I'm then going to go in with a highlighter, applying it pretty much where I applied the bronzer. So across the top of the cheeks, a little bit on the nose and chin and kind of anywhere where I want to add just a little bit of a pop. And then I'm going to go ahead and apply some lashes. I'm going to be amazing if they just popped on just like that. It'd be magical.  And then I'm going to go in with some lip liner. I'm going to slightly overline using a slightly darker shade. And then what I like to do is I like to go in with a liquid lipstick that's kind of opaque and go over the top of everything. Because we have that darker lip liner there, it kind of just makes everything blend a little bit more. So the overlining isn't as obvious. And that is the finished look. If you enjoy this one, please hit that like button because it really helps me out. Definitely let me know what other looks you'd like to see. I really wanted to start off with the warm and the cool, but let me know what else you'd like to see. You can also check out more of my videos by clicking the screen now.

A new Freedom Graphics team, question mark.  How many of you graphic artists out there would be willing to volunteer your time to create graphics on demand in exchange for shoutouts and features on The George Show as well as the people who you make graphics for? I saw a comment yesterday that really piqued my interest in asking you, the Freedom Family, whether this is something you want us to organize. SoapyEdit's free GFX templates wrote, hey George, I've been with Freedom for around one year, four months, and I make free Photoshop graphics templates such as Banners, logos, etc. And I would love a Freedom Spotlight. Would you be willing to be part of a new team, SoapyEdit's, where you would be making graphics and banners and thumbnails for the Freedom Family who deserve it, who are asking nicely and who need the help to grow? Do you remember the 101 designers? Click that eye up there to watch this video. 101 designers from a long time ago. How many of you remember this? Tell me in the comments below. We also have a graphics channel. It's just been dormant for over a year. www.youtube.com slash gfx. Click that eye up there to check out what you see behind me. The channel has 8,000 subscribers, but the last upload was seven months ago. And there's a lot of tips about graphics that are still very relevant today. But I would love to find people who are willing to resurrect this channel and organize themselves to create a community around graphics for the Freedom Family. I emphasize this is a volunteer position. Of course, it may lead to a pay position depending on how much value you create for the Freedom Family. Down there in the comments below, tell me if you're a graphic designer who is willing to try to get together and build a team around this. I'd love to know. Have you seen this website behind me? www.ytgraphics.com. I was recently linked to it by one of our members who says they get their channel art from here. So these are all freely downloadable banners that you can use in your channel. The only catch is there's always a www.ytgraphics.com watermark. A promo back to this website in the banner. But I'm curious how many of you use sites like this to get your graphics? Tell me in the comments below so we can all share these resources amongst each other to help everybody grow together as a family because that is the spirit of freedom. We all help each other grow together as a family. Now let's go back to the original comment that I mentioned at the beginning of this episode, Soapy edits. He asked for a channel spotlight. Let's do it. Here is your channel, Soapy edits. Let's have a look at your channel available on your channel for free. That's fantastic. I would encourage you to add cards here to showcase the examples of the graphics that you've designed in video. I would also encourage you to add your own commentary to your trailer so we can hear you explain the awesome graphics that you design. Let's take a look at your playlists. So you have uploads, revamp packs. I love that. Thumbnails, outro and cards. Twitch, YouTube, video overlays. Awesome, awesome use of playlists.  I think you've maximized all the playlists. Every one of you should do exactly the same. Maximize the playlists that YouTube lets you create in your channel homepage. Now let's have a look at your video thumbnails. So as a designer I would expect these to be top notch. Let's take a look. So the graphics are top notch. My only suggestion is to make the fonts bigger because at small sizes it'll be very hard to read but I think these template thumbnails are excellent. You can see the design, you can see your skill as a graphic designer. Well done. Click that eye up there to check out SoapyEdit's channel to get more of his designs. To summarize, all of you graphic designers in the Freedom Family who are willing to share your expertise in exchange for promotion on The George Show and on the channels that you help improve, would you be willing to do this in an organized effort that I will help organize? Just tell me in the comments below and if we get at least 10 of you who are interested to do this I will commit to organizing the graphics team and seeing how far we can help the Freedom Family grow together in graphics. And who am I? I am Papa George, George Sunpai and many other names you the Freedom Family has given me. I am George, CEO and founder of this beautiful family called Freedom and you've been watching and we will grow together as a family because this is the Freedom Family. You are part of it, we are all part of it and we're all growing together. So grow with us and partner with Freedom.

What's going on? How are you guys today? I just got home from work. It's pretty early I think it's around 3 30, but I've had a very long day Haven't eaten anything just non-stop. So the first thing I did when I got home was I put two cups of organic sprouted brown rice in my instant pot And I got rib-eye steak from Frankie's Suranged Meat Nice and thought out while I was at work and I haven't had these in a while But some lamb testicles, you know when I'm low on energy these do actually boost your testosterone I had one person that actually left the review of these saying that they had morning wood again and One of my viewers actually sent me Testosterone panel he took after several months of eating them. So they definitely work but this is from Lundberg family farms So I don't know how much sprouting the brown rice reduces the anti-nutrients And content, but it digest pretty well compared to the other rice. I've tried so all that was in here was the two cups of rice and Four cups of filtered water. I split this up between a high calcium mineral water and Lower calcium mineral water just so I don't get constipated or anything I also have some cookies that I just baked they're in the freezer cooling off right now This is cinnamon raisin First time I've ever tried this flavor. I think the chocolate kept me up last night So I just want to see if it was the chocolate. Oh, I also put some salt and coconut oil in that brown rice I don't really like the flavor of like beef tallow or lard in my rice So I'm just gonna sear off this ribeye steak and then we'll sit down and eat. So I got my steak searing in the pan also have to get my water kefir and digestive enzymes ready and This is so that the food is broken down properly and the lactobacillus and the water kefir inhibits any Bad fungal overgrowth or any C-butt or anything this water kefir has truly been a lifesaver You guys haven't seen my video on it I think that was two or three months ago and we also have the kefir grains available on Frankie's free-range foods, which are actually Right here. Honestly lately.  There's a bunch of lemons limes and ginger in here for flavor So I gotta strain it out into the glass to get The water kefir grains out and like the random ginger or whatever that falls in there So maybe I'll show you guys the enzymes one day. I'm just using some generic supplement brands I do have some powders downstairs of each of the components the fat protein and carbohydrate digesting enzymes So I do want to make my own enzyme supplement that I'll hopefully have within maybe a month or two for you guys So the rice and steak aren't done yet So we could dice up these lamb testicles Because I eat them raw to preserve the bioactive properties of the testosterone This isn't how they're packaged on Frankie's free-range meat. We sell them as 2.2 pounds one kilogram Do you guys want me to do this like two testicles individually wrapped? I can do that but it's gonna cost a lot more because you know I was just so labor-intensive to put them individually wrapped like this But I did this for myself because you know, I don't really eat them every day I have them maybe once or twice a month So it's nice to just take one package out and you guys have seen me do this before But This is kind of nice because usually they're a lot bigger.  We don't actually Care about the ball size because we're not interested and more is definitely not better You know, you kind of want to have a small amount over two or three days every day as opposed to just blasting it all at once Which I think is what I'll do here. I'll save this one for tomorrow And I'll have just this today. So I've had a meal like this several times over the past week just beef and rice typically brown rice sometimes white rice sometimes I actually mix both rices together but Never only white rice because it just gives me SIBO doesn't sit well in my stomach Normally I still have that stew that I showed you guys You know a couple of months ago now and I'm going to have that again later today I just wanted to do this meal first just as something kind of like new and exciting Then the boring stew and chocolate chip cookie diet today. We have the beef and brown rice lamb testicle and cinnamon raisin cookie diet The rice is a little bit undercooked, but I'm just really hungry So As you can see Steak is pretty much raw So the steak and the testicles are obviously where most of the nutrition is here and since we're only having maybe You know Two or three teaspoons a tablespoon of the lamb testicles the actual You know protein and mineral content isn't what we're focusing on here It's the male hormone optimization that's a Sasha and that's going to give you physical energy as well as strength Steak protein B vitamins keeps the brain healthy Bioavailable minerals brown rice some of the B vitamins that aren't as high in meat But it's mainly for feeding the gut microbiome the gut motility and since I added those high mineral waters to this rice It's actually a pretty good source of calcium and magnesium. That's a nice little trick you can do water keeper Super super nutritious because you put sugar in this and molasses Which have a high mineral content and the bacteria eats it turns it into B vitamins So you're basically drinking liquid B vitamins and minerals and if you ever have a headache Drink one cup of this stuff. It'll go away in like 10 minutes. Not even so i'm going to have The lamb testicles and swallow them down with the water keeper A few more bites And then we'll go take our enzymes I'm just going to pour some more water keeper And the only deviation today from the norm is me having those lamb testicles I've just been Like a little tired lately and exhausted. I mean i'm not sleeping, but maybe they'll give me a boost It's maybe a handful of enzymes And if I don't take enzymes and drink water keeper with my meal, I will break out Terrible acne 100 for sure When I eat like beef jerky and chocolate at work because i'm really hungry and I forget to pack stuff I almost always get acne Every single time so let's um Have a couple more bites of steak and rice now. I'm still eating quite a bit of meat every day You know one and a half pounds So i'm still getting the high protein and B vitamin content, but now I'm getting in carbohydrates for energy the water keeper So I would bet that my current diet is actually higher overall in vitamins and minerals than The previous carnivore diet now these rib eye steaks on frankies from age meat I just did a price analysis. I took a few dollars off so We're Even more affordable than before, you know, we were already price lower than other companies online, but you know, i'm not gonna Charge more for stuff just because other people are selling it Higher ever since I was a teenager and I was bodybuilding one of my favorite foods in general is rice with salt and oil like That's it butter to Butter's delicious on rice. This is actually a little more than I normally eat I just Been so busy the past two days. I only had time to have one meal both days and i'm just kind of hungry I was so tired monday when I got back from work at like five I just fell asleep until five a.m. The next day and then I had to get up and just work again. It was not fun all right, so I think i'll save the steak and the rest of the rice in that instant pot for tomorrow morning's meal, I guess Because we're gonna have the stew later just to show you guys what I normally do so I had these cookies in the freezer and If you guys have never put like chocolate chip cookies in the freezer, they taste so good when they're cold Uh, someone actually emailed me about the best bars we have on frankies from age foods And said they were really really good when they were cold just makes it more like ice cream for some reason But these are not chocolate chip as I said earlier.  It's like you're trying to be healthy, but it's not healthy I just scratched the oatmeal when I was a kid I used to love Like the cinnamon raisin toast with butter one of my favorite things. So these are very very simple organic coconut oil organic coconut milk organic cane sugar organic white flour organic raisins everything's organic vanilla extract And cinnamon pretty simple. I'm waiting to get sponsored And we're gonna put frankies vegan cookies in every Whole Foods Hopefully they don't know my youtube channel Because I won't buy my cookies in hindsight If I launched vegan cookies it would have to be under some like Secret company name Because the vegans would cancel me. They were like protested Whole Foods like don't eat frankies cookies. They were like They were like ransacked the Whole Foods Take my cookies off the shelf and like step on them on the street outside of the park of that All right, I like the chocolate a lot more I don't think the amount of chocolate chips in a couple of cookies Is there really that much magnesium and copper? Hey, you know if I eat three cookies four cookies every day It is a decent amount of minerals from the chocolate Water keepers carbonated fizzy Really really tasty and delicious to me. It's like a healthy version of soda Maybe this is a good thing because when these are chocolate chip I'll eat like three or four of these But now I don't even want to really eat two I wish I didn't have that cookie dough now I don't think I can just throw chocolate chips in it It'll taste real So the main reason I eat cookies is calories. They're very concentrated in sugar fat carbohydrate energy I will literally lose weight if I don't eat three or four cookies every day and and The only way I will maybe slowly gain weight is if I literally eat like Two meals like this and have like four cookies and stuff myself at each meal It's very very difficult for me to maintain my weight let alone gain weight Especially now that I'm not working out everything's organic. So the pollutant concerns are reduced and what this is really doing is feeding The bacteria that's in our water keeper. It's eating all the sugar in these cookies Kind of like keeping our gut populated and healthy All right, look the cookies are good, but cinnamon raisin makes me feel like I'm an old person about to die so I can't do it So I technically don't have to do anything immediately right now. Thankfully, I'm filming this video for tomorrow. So I don't have to like Write a script or film for a couple hours or anything today Which means I'm probably gonna lay down because I only got a few hours of sleep last night and then We'll get up later Do a little more work and then we'll have our second meal. What's up guys? So I laid down for a few hours. I feel a lot better I still have a bunch of work to do on my computer mainly Answer emails and just do some website stuff for Frankie's food range meet Thankfully, you know, this meal is going to be a lot quicker to prep So I can eat do a couple hours of work go to bed because I gotta Wake up early tomorrow morning for some reason they scheduled a cheese delivery at seven so what do you do but I have some of the stew that you guys have seen over the past few months The base is very basic. It's always barley, mushroom, onion Sometimes I add potatoes Sometimes I use venison most of the time I use beef. We actually have a lot of stew meat available on Frankie's food range meat Rib eye stew meat New York strip stew meat, and I'm going to add some sirloin stew meat So I've been having those more tender steak cuts in this red wine and beef broth is the base I put some salt. I haven't been using thyme or bay leaf lately, but The red wine is is really one of the most important ingredients here just adding a copper to really helps bring out the flavor We're going to take the stew just put it in a pan to heat up. So I have everything here already some more water keeper The enzymes for this meal and we have our cinnamon raisin cookies earlier We'll definitely make some chocolate chip tomorrow. I did sleep a little better Since I didn't have the chocolate but I don't know I have to think of something else I can put in the cookies I was doing like a like organic hazelnut that I found but It's okay. So we're just going to heat the stew up on the stove and then we'll sit down and eat So here we have our gruel No, this is actually very tasty very delicious and I've had excellent digestion with this very consistent every day So I'm kind of sticking to it Now about half the time I'll actually use ground beef instead of stew meat or Like venison meat because it's like evenly dispersed throughout the stew and I get a more consistent protein intake every meal I'm not really that hungry. So We're going to have the enzymes now and maybe I'll finish off this bowl of stew. So same exact thing as earlier I'm just going to take the handful of enzymes And the water keeper I'm like a little hungry. I mean we ate, you know, five six hours ago. So I think that'll be good. I had about a bowl. Maybe we'll have a cookie or two Cinnamon raisin Honestly, I think it's more I don't like the cinnamon than the raisins I think I'll just have half a cookie Usually I'll have like two or three of these chocolate chip every meal, but a lot of fan of those So we basically had a bowl of stew half a cookie and two cups of water key for so I feel pretty good A little more energized. So thank you guys for joining me today Please leave a comment down below like the video Subscribe so that youtube can unsubscribe you next week And if you guys do want to support me further check out frankiesferringmeat.com We have the ribeye steak the stew meat so many products for you guys The water keeper is on frankiesferring foods and the nice thing about that is Once you buy the key for grains for ten dollars or maybe fifteen dollars elsewhere All you need to do is you know spend ten bucks a lot on organic sugar at the grocery store. So It's really a minimal investment and you get a nutritionally rich B vitamin vitamin c probiotic drink to have every day with every meal granted If you don't have like a well or spring water source You have to you know buy some glass bottled water which you know kind of adds up I probably spend as much on water as I do the sugar for the key for but That's how it is in New York. So let me know what else you guys would like to see Maybe I'll try to do a cheat meal in the next video Maybe I'll show you what I have at work sometimes although I'm not a fan of you know the food quality that I had access to but thanks again for joining me guys I'll see you for tomorrow's video Fuck these cookies


Hi everybody and welcome back to my channel. Thank you for tuning in. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe to both channels which I'm going to leave the links of course and I really hope you enjoyed this amazing collaboration because this is my first collaboration. It's their first collaboration. Let's go. Guys welcome back. As you might see I'm in my working form and this is a quick little clip for me. The rest of the video you're about to see I pronounce Claire Carmichael's name completely wrong so I'm sorry about that but no so it's Claire Carmichael. She just told me and I'm very embarrassed so sorry see you guys soon. Enjoy the video. Hello guys and welcome back to my first ever collaboration. Hi everyone my name is Claire Carmichael and I'm a second year adult student nurse. Hello guys welcome back to Touring Guys with Jacob here and if you don't know who I am Jacob that's what you said. So today I am doing a collaboration with Kyle Sands from Two Ordinary Guys. I'm so excited. So I'm a nurse. Kyle's a paramedic and well he's going to be a paramedic and we're going to do a collaboration so you can see what we both do. I'm really excited for this. So firstly how do I know Kyle? I know Kyle just purely from YouTube. We've both subscribed to each other. We both watch each other's vlogs. We both comment on each other's vlogs. We're both really motivating I think. I really loved Kyle's vlogs because it's so nice to see the other side to nursing, the emergency care side and people that want to get into paramedics and there's no vlog out there that shows a journey into the paramedics so I think he's got something really amazing on his channel and I love watching it and I love seeing how excited Kyle and Jacob get about the paramedics and how far they've come. Like they've come so far already. I'm so excited to watch their journey and just find out more about the paramedics for myself and my own knowledge. As nurses we are going to come into contact with the paramedics and we have to work together in a collaboration which is why I thought this idea of a collaborated video is amazing. If you guys don't know me then I'm going to university in September to do paramedic science at the University of Worcester. I don't know how long I've been following Claire for on her channel but I can remember when I first came across Claire's channel and I've seen that she wanted to be a student nurse and obviously already as the profession I wanted to go into you know paramedic I was automatically drawn to her channel anyway but the thing I noticed about Claire was how passionate she is about nursing, how determining she is to achieve her dreams and her goals which you're going to hear about in the in the upcoming episode of this collaboration but also how I don't think I've ever come across someone like Claire you know the passion, the determination of achieving her dreams and how she wants to inspire people to go into nursing and I kind of seen myself in Claire but that's what I want to do. I want to motivate people to follow their dreams. I didn't have the best upbringing regarding going into university with grades etc so and obviously Claire was the same she said that she left school and she didn't really have the best grades and etc etc so me and Claire are quite similar in the fact that we didn't have the best start going to university and me and Claire obviously want to put across in this video that if you want to go into nursing or paramedic science or anything going to university even if it's not in NHS based don't let grades sort of detain what you're going to do because obviously as me and Claire are recording this video now it's kind of you don't need you don't need the best grades to go into your dream job it's about having the passion and determination if you get knocked down to get back up again so that's why I wanted to collaborate with Claire because I think we're both quite similar we both share the same channel goals and I really really think Claire is an amazing person and if you haven't subscribed to Claire uh and you're from my channel go and check uh go and check her out because your life would be so much better with Claire in your life and and if I'm if I'm this video you're watching this on Claire um I can get my words out today if you're watching this on Claire's channel then obviously hello and nice to meet you guys and yeah let's get on with the the collaboration it's a kind of best friend we thought we'd start this channel um quite a few years ago actually we started this channel about two years ago I was in college and very excited started time in college like I was just moving through getting getting on to uni but I thought nah um I didn't get into uni when I was in college I thought I needed a year off to kind of develop my skills clinical skills and develop my confidence and kind of show you guys that you don't have to brush you don't have to go into uni straight away it's not are you leave school go to college go to uni all in the same line you don't have to you can leave it for a year if you wanted to to save up money or go traveling or whatever I could kind of both um so me and Carl we're student paramedics now uh we started in September we wow I guess we're not officially student paramedics um that we are heading towards that we started in September very excited and yeah um we started this channel kind of to show people that what it's like to go into uni so starting from college that's what we started in college and we kind of shown what we've done this year and going to interviews going to open days yeah on the channel there's quite a lot there we have quite a lot of content uh range of from talking about mental health which i always think is important to go into marmaris um shit we uh yeah uh on the channel there's quite a lot there we have quite a lot of content uh range of from talking about mental health which i always think is important to go into marmaris which is in turkey and also to go into adjuran which is you know everywhere around england so traveling in front of it um yeah you never really see channels kind of showing people's insight of going to their course whether it's nursing whether it's doing a medical course medical sciences you always see their video when they start that channel they're always in the middle of their course and i mean college wanted to show people why it's like to go into that um we are just we want to basically show you that you can do it really like i'm i'm just an ordinary ordinary guy hence an a tour and a guys and if i could do it you might scan um carna went in with that mindset of if i can't do it this year if i could do it this year great if i could do it next year even better but you know if i do it in the next 10 years i'll do it at least i'll get in there at least i'm becoming a paramedic or i'm becoming a nurse um if you guys don't know uh i want to be in the heart team which is hazardous area response team uh i can't want to be a clinical team mental um that's very exciting and that's such an exciting time for us because it's different we are kind of going to the same thing going like beginning roll into a paramedic then we're kind of branching off which is quite big uh today's video uh we are actually collaborating for the first time which is something major for the channel we are really excited for this and we're collaborating with a new youtuber cool player from our mouth hi everyone so as i said i've got an amazing collaboration for you and i can finally tell you who it is so it is the two ordinary guys from the two ordinary guys channel it's going to be kyle and jack up i know i know are you excited i'm excited that'll teach you forget my name wrong this is going up she's a student nurse and it's quite it's actually quite nice to collaborate with someone else who's also doing a medical science um so yeah i'm excited to meet you claire it's very excited to do this collaboration with you um yeah we're going to be talking about uh why when to go into paramedics or nursing um what our plan is over the next five to ten years and how do they both work together so yeah that's been a quick introduction to me a bit to the channel and a bit what we're going to talk about today so what am i currently doing so i am in the second year i'm actually coming in to the end of second year now i'm a january intake and i started january 2017 and so i'm coming to the end now i finish in november second year and then i go into third year in january i'm so excited we've currently got our nursing in society module which has been really great we've got a few case studies that we've had to go over and sort of analyze and assess and sort of work out what's wrong with them a little bit like actually what paramedics do when they go out to a patient they're assessing patients as well it's all about that patient assessment managing the patient and preventing further deterioration so paramedics and nurses we're kind of on the same sort of wavelength in that way in that in that sense so that's currently what i'm doing at the minute i'm learning all about the different assessment tools different ways of you know discharging your patient as well back out into the community and making sure that it's a smooth discharge and that the patient's going to have that safe delivery of care when they get home and be able to self manage themselves with whatever condition they might have and prevent that hospital readmission so that's what we're doing in the minute and i really love this module it's fantastic it's really good to know it's building on everything that we did in first year so we're building and managing that now and i love it it's fantastic i love it so claire's just mentioned her point about what she's going to be doing and what i'm going to be doing now so what am i doing right this second so basically as i record this video i start university in 29 days which is crazy um and obviously i'm getting ready for university i'm prepping for university um getting on my stuff i've nearly got everything i need for university regarding you know my kitchen stuff my studying stuff you know stationery i've just brought a mac book pro to obviously help with studying so um obviously claire would probably know this when she when she first started started university she was in the january intake so she can probably understand what the stress is like moving into university uh and it is stressful obviously with student finance etc etc so if you are going through university uh at the second now or have been through university obviously i can relate relate to that kind of stuff and so can claire so at the moment that is what i'm doing now i'm getting ready for university um and i'm really looking forward to bringing videos starting university you know meeting my university friends moving into university all these all these videos are going to be very exciting uh and it's great to bring these videos to you guys because not many people well obviously quite a lot of people make these kind of videos like moving into university but not many people i haven't seen anyone make videos regarding you know paramedic science uh there's a lot of people going into like a medical school and when i first youtube you know paramedic science there were just people like talking yeah you should join paramedic science and they were based from different universities you know to get people into university i'm going to be doing now so what am i doing right this second so basically as i record this video i start university in 29 days which is crazy um and obviously i'm getting ready for university i'm prepping for university um getting on my stuff i've nearly got everything that i need for university regarding you know my kitchen stuff my study and stuff you know uh stationary uh i've just brought a mac book pro to obviously help with studying so um obviously claire would probably know this when she when she first started started university uh she was in the january intake uh so she can probably understand what the stress is like moving into university uh and it is stressful obviously with student finance etc etc so if you are going through university uh at the second now or have been through university obviously i can relate relate to that kind of stuff and so can claire so at the moment that is what i'm doing now i'm getting ready for university um and i'm really looking forward to bringing videos uh starting university you know meeting my university friends moving in to university all these all these videos are going to be very exciting uh and it's great to bring these videos to you guys because not many people well obviously quite a lot of people make these kind of videos like moving into university but not many people i haven't seen anyone make videos regarding you know paramedic science uh there's a lot of people going into like a medical school and i when i first youtube you know paramedic science there were just people like talking yeah you should join paramedic science and they were based from different universities you know to get people into university like to their university and i thought why can't someone just vlog their journey into the ambulance service i mean that would be amazing and that's what i wanted to do and that's why i like claire's channel because claire is taking her journey through the student nurse side of the university and i'm taking my journey through uh paramedic science i haven't started yet so there's not that much regarding paramedic science at the moment but there is a lot of videos regarding you know how to prep for paramedic science the interview tips and in 29 days think of the videos that that's going to come on on to my channel and it's great to have a friend like claire to relate to these kind of things for she's helped me a big huge amount and it's nice to have someone to bounce off and that's why i think claire's amazing uh so that's what i'm doing now prepping for university that's it guys episode one is finished i know i'm gutted but you know what we're going to be back here on wednesday for episode two of this and thank you so much to everybody that's tuned in and watch this and we're really really grateful to you and hopefully you are enjoying this let us know in the comments and we'll see you on wednesday you're excited


Yeah Plus by me 910 AW if you're using I insta mooch a little bit Yeah Morning We're from Columbus, so yeah, we're all pilot trainees. We're here for the center center Yeah That's our class patch. Yeah Yeah, so what we have like six more months for the train


Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer James Stelpeck with your headlines from around the fleet. The Navy celebrated the keel-lang of pre-commissioning unit John Warner at Huntington Ingalls Industries, Newport News Shipbuilding, in Newport News, Virginia, March 16. The Virginia-class submarine is named for former five-term U.S. Senator from Virginia and Secretary of the Navy, John Warner. The maritime exercise, Saharan Express 2013, concluded with post-sale discussions and a press conference March 14. Scenarios included at-sea ship boarding and queries, medical familiarization, air operations, communications drills, and regional information sharing. The exercise began March 7 and was designed to improve cooperation among participating nations in order to increase counter-piracy capabilities and deter maritime crimes in West Africa. You can read more about these stories at Navy.mil. From All Hands Update, thanks for watching.


The Impact Top 50 list is an incredible platform. Every year you see some old and some new members on the list. But I think what's common across all of them is that they're doing such path-breaking work and creating a platform for people to be inspired to see, to share with each other. You know, women who are really breaking the mold and getting out there and achieving is, I think, it's incredibly inspiring, motivating and energizing. So, kudos to the team which puts this together and power be to them in terms of taking it to another level year on year. So I've had women bosses and male bosses and I have team members who are males and females who have different people in their teams. But my view is that it's actually the person and I find women who are incredibly empathic, who are able to share their stories with other women managers and thereby giving them guidance and mentorship when they get stuck. But equally, I've seen extremely empowering and enabling male managers do the same. I think the critical similarity is that when you actually go out and tell a young woman manager when she's stuck that you can. I think the key words are you can. You can do this. You can get from this level to the next level. I think it makes a world of a difference. So yeah, the short answer to your question is that male-female, I think it has certain traits. There are certain traits which are enabling traits, nurturance traits, guidance traits which set the great managers aside from the not so great perhaps.


Well good morning everyone, we might kick off for this concurrent breakout session at the Crawford Leadership Forum. Somewhat excitingly and provocatively titled Tech Wars is technological globalism dead. I'd like to start off as we always do at the Australia National University by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on the land that we are meeting today and I'd like to extend that to the traditional owners across Australia and indeed the world wherever you're tuning in from today. For Canberra where I am that's the none of all people. I'd also like to welcome those members of the media who've joined us today and indeed anyone who wishes to engage on social media. The hashtag to use is hashtag ACL forum and we're looking forward to a robust debate there as well. So without further ado let me welcome the speakers for today's panel. In no particular order they are Tim Watts, the Shadow Assistant Minister for Communications and for Cyber Security. Tao Wang, the Managing Director and Head of Asia Economics with UBS Investment Bank. Heather Evans, the Supply Chain Manager, CDL COVID-19 Rapid Screening Consortium and finally Dr Tobias Fekin, Australia's Ambassador for Cyber Affairs and Critical Technology. I should also say I'm Catherine Manstead, I'm a Senior Fellow in the Practice of National Security here at the Australian National University. So let's dive straight into the panel today. It seems almost as though we could have no more of a topical discussion on such a critical set of issues than one on technology and the way in which that's playing out in geopolitics. For those who were at the Crawford Leadership Forum yesterday, the Australian Treasurer's remarks really bear on this panel as well. He was emphasising the importance of economic resilience and the need for Australia to consider how we go about securing our supply chains and that really builds off into the topic of today's panel which is looking at technology and the way in which it is very much at the front lines of US-China competition, one of the enduring geostrategic realities that Australia has to confront as well and trying to understand just where this is going in the future. Are we heading towards a world of multiple different supply chains, maybe a bifurcated world of supply chains? Are we headed towards a world that is in some level interdependent as it has been to this point? Really, we could think of no better people to weigh in on this debate and also sheet home the implications of all of this for Australia. I thought I might kick off today by first turning to Heather Evans and asking to get a bit of a view from the US. This is shaped up as a US-China frame and we can perhaps deconstruct or unconstruct that as we go through. My first question to you, I suppose Heather, is we know that in the Trump administration the notion of a trade war between China and the US was very much at the forefront of President Trump's agenda and we also know that there was a big step up for the US to start becoming a technological leader once again or shoring itself up as a technological leader often in opposition to China. So my question to you is to what extent is this continuing under the Biden administration and what are some of the key policies we're seeing President Biden's administration putting out there in this space? Thank you for the question. Building on what you said, it is very clear that the Biden administration is continuing and in certain cases amplifying some of the punitive measures that the Trump administration initially put in. There's also a lot of questions that still remain in particular with respect to trade between the US and China which has caused a lot of disruptions in the business community doing their best to plan ahead and work around a number of tariffs that continue to exist on around $360 billion worth of goods between both countries. We've seen on the domestic front a very partisan Congress and Senate has been able to pass bills specific to increasing the domestic capabilities of the United States with respect to technology. So earlier in June the US Innovation and Competition Act was passed a $250 billion investment and there's a lot of look at infrastructure investment right now in the United States and an element of that President Biden and his team are discussing how by shoring up additional infrastructure domestically again it's a way to counteract what's going on in China. Interestingly while campaigning for President Biden did discuss the fact that the Trump administration was not working well with allies with respects to trying to manage the relationships trade-wise with China. And so we have seen with the EU in particular that Biden's team has worked through some trade disputes and played a part in a more aggressive trade deal for between the EU and China. But in general at this point there's a lot of questions that remain about what the main economic Chinese strategy is with the Biden team and currently it's been said that they're doing a complete review of all data and policies prior to announcing anything but there's a lot of anticipation from the business community in particular to try to figure out how they can continue to manage operating within the two largest economies in the world. Exciting times. Can I straw you out on that Heather because it's not just economics it's not just trade right there's a lot of policies in the US coming out about clamping down on the export of kind of multi-use or dual use technology. There's concern about Chinese researchers in US University. There's a whole range of kind of non-economic policy in terms of immigration, data protection, foreign investment etc that's really been amped up of late. Are you seeing I mean so it's one thing to say this is bipartisan. Is this also a cross portfolio kind of initiative are there any would you say there are any holdouts or any areas of at the federal level in a certain portfolio areas which are less on the front foot of this of this process or indeed are there any state governments that maybe aren't as far bought into some of the trends you're describing. Well of course it sort of goes without saying that while it's politically very favorable to be incredibly hawkish towards China again regardless of what side of the aisle you're on the relationship that different regions have with China with respect in particular to trade but in other areas can be really key to their local economies. But another thing that I think is undoubtedly going to come up and should continue to come up on all panels and discussions in today's world are with respect to collaboration for climate change and climate solutions and so I very much look up to the diplomats and the negotiators who are working on trying to find solutions and avoiding the politically challenging or dangerous red lines in their conversations in order to try to reach productive conclusions finding solutions to various things related to climate change. And one additional thing just quickly to add on that I think an area that's under threat which you mentioned that's quite concerning is of course the lack of inner scholastic movement of individuals collaborations at an academic level even just something so small as during the Trump presidency when they blocked Chinese graduate students from coming to the United States and in general doing anything to make it more difficult for students to study at university from a soft power perspective are pretty dangerous. It speaks volumes for a lot of the world's elite wanting to study at universities in the United States and anything to make that more difficult. I think is on the whole quite negative for the United States but in general it's very important for minds from all over the world to be able to gather together to help figuring out the challenges that we face but it can be very easy to to read headlines and get an impression that there's a universal negative and sort of restricted glance between both countries and in fact many countries in relation to China at this time which is challenging but I think it's much more nuanced than like anything in life it's far more nuanced than it seems at a high level. I think that's a really important point and I also think that's one that we've seen messaged out of the new administration when we see Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan when they first were shaping up their foreign policy they were clear to say that there are areas of cooperation and potentially competition with China and climate change being one of those areas of cooperation as you surface. Look I might bring Tao into the conversation now we know that there is a bit of a global stash over some of China's tech giants at the moment it's no secret that there's a there's disagreement between the US and China over the fate of big tech leaders like Huawei and ZTE but Tao what I wanted to bring you in on is it's not just the US cracking down on Chinese big tech right now it's also China cracking down on Chinese big tech right now we've seen some big muscle movements over the last 12 months where leaders of tech companies in China have come a cropper of the CCP we've seen restriction on listing on overseas capital markets how are you seeing this from the Chinese government's perspective is there a bit of a crackdown on big tech happening and if so why is it is it part of this US China stash or is it something entirely different and domestically perhaps orientated instead thank you for this question and thanks for inviting me to this forum I think I would not characterize recent regulation tightened regulatory tightening China as a crackdown on big tech I think we need to separate this these two issues so since 2018 the US has tightened China's restriction to you know access to technology banning sales of certain semiconductors chip you know chip equipment to Huawei and ZTE as you mentioned and as Heather mentioned under Biden administration these restrictions has actually intensified it did not ease and indeed it's unlikely to ease because you know USC tech rivalry as a core part of rivalry with China and so you know Chinese investment in technology has been restricted highly scrutinized and probably you know impossible to proceed in the future and and some some restrictions have also been placed on academic collaboration as well China's response on this front is as indicated in the five-year plan and so on is on one hand continue to advocate for you know continued integration with the world and collaboration and the same time pursue market opening but also preparing for the worse right for things not easing and maybe the restrictions intensifying so there has been an increased emphasis on technological innovation and self-reliance in China which means increased investment in in hard tech as for example semiconductors and advanced manufacturing and so on and to to basically shore up its own capabilities and continue to push for digitalization and building digital infrastructures including 5G the recent regulatory tightening is in the internet space is really stemming from a rectification I would say of earlier lax regulations on internet finance on antitrust on data privacy and data security and so on so forth they are mainly you know domestic agenda about controlling risk including financial risk reducing monopoly power and have better oversight it's not inconsistent with supporting technology and you know supporting digitalization data security part I think is perhaps influenced by the US China dynamic because in the current political atmosphere every country is talking about data security as a national security and so China is also sensitive to that and and realize that a lot of the rules and regulations were lacking and so they have come up with tighter rules I just want to pick up on one thing you said there that data security is national security and I'm actually going to then throw this across to Tim Watts because it seems that in these conversations when we're talking about technology data etc what once were hived off as being tech issues are now seen considered universally almost by countries as also being security issues Tim from your perspective how do you see both US China tech competition impacting Australia but also how do you see this kind of securitization of technology and data playing out in the Australian domestic sphere as well sure and I should start by acknowledging I'm joining you today from the traditional lands of the Buonarung people in the Kuala Nation from here in Melbourne it's great to be a part of this panel look the first thing to note on this topic is that you know these trends represent a really big change for Australia we've benefited enormously perhaps more than any other country in the world from that kind of post-urogri round period of increasing trade openness increasing technological integration standards harmonization I mean as an open economy as an open society we've thrived in that world this world we're moving into now where governments are increasingly using technology policy as well as economic policy to pursue strategic ends you know that's a big change for us it's going to require a bit of a change in conceptual thinking for government because reality and a lot of these technology markets now you know these are increasingly state driven markets you know they're not driven by sort of commercial outcomes in the way that they once were so Australia is going to have to adapt to this there's a lot of challenges for Australia in domestic policymaking here you know you only have to imagine a world where we're in one technology ecosystem and a lot of our export markets are in another technology ecosystem and imagine the challenge for for our exporters particularly in you know very human facing sectors like services exports but there are also opportunities but only opportunities that we can realise if we get through that conceptual change and the way the Australian government thinks of it with these state driven markets we're going to see new market opportunities for exporting into other states that share our strategic circumstances or share our security concerns we're looking for trusted suppliers but we're really going to need governments by a bigger role in leading that this is not just about government regulation it's also about government investment and setting directions in R&D and innovation policy we've seen around the world a big increase in the amount of industry policy not just in you know defence procurement but in strategically significant or sensitive technology sectors you know sectors like AI like quantum security quantum computing and that's something that Australia is going to have to push into in a policy space in a big way it's really notable when you look around the world that quantum computing investment quantum computing is a big part of the post-COVID recovery strategies of countries like you know China, Japan, EU, Netherlands, Germany, France, India all of which have billion dollar or multi-billion dollar investments in quantum computing state-led investments in their quantum computing sector it's really notable that in Australia we don't even have a strategy for directing quantum computing investment in this country and in this new world that we're moving into unless we can get a more active government in these spaces you know Australia is going to be left behind here. Well one of the areas where we do arguably have an active sector of the government is in our diplomacy capability I might bring in Ambassador Fekin into the conversation I see you're sitting behind a recent Australian cyber and critical tech engagement strategy and I know a big part of that is thinking about what role the Australian government has on a number of these issues including kind of supply chains building out our our capability and working with partners from your perspective two things one what role can Australia as a kind of a small-ish middle power play in these global stashes a and then b to the extent we can play where are our main lines of effort? Let me characterize it maybe I think we should be thinking big and acting shrewdly and let me see if I can dig into that a little bit you rightly pointed out behind me you know we launched an international cyber and critical tech engagement strategy for all of the reasons that we're already discussing in this panel and thanks very much for having me here today which was recognition that the world is undoubtedly changing at a significant rate of knots that there are these key areas of especially digital technology certainly those technologies that feed off of the infrastructure that cyberspace provides us with such as AI, such as quantum machine learning a whole range of these new technologies now which are becoming such common parts of lexicon for the general public in a way that I think probably is taken many by surprise and the realization that it is important that we as as you say perhaps not the most highly populated country in the world but certainly technologically significant country needed to be involved more prominently in the international discussion around these broader sets of concerns you know where I began in this job and the Australian began in its international outreach was very clearly about what did we want cyberspace to look like how could we shape that and well what we learned is is that if you direct your efforts in particular areas you can have significant impact in the way that the global environment is shaped now you know one benchmark that you could use is is in cyberspace around the UN group of government experts the UN open-ended working group and all those processes that are going on the UN we targeted our voice in a very direct way to work the middle ground to make sure that we were there with new ideas new thinking on on what could be next and that is the same in terms of this broader technology environment and absolutely in terms of the current coded situation it's not only accelerated our focus on all these areas of technology but it's also meant that we've had to think more clearly about well what does our supply chain look like because it's shown us the fragility of that globalized idea of supply chain now I don't think you know globalized concepts of tech supply chain are going to disappear entirely but certainly you know policies like the international cyber and critical tech engagement strategy and a range of other policies that government is taking colleagues are addressing are aimed and targeted at trying to ensure that we are best placed to take advantage of what's going on and it's interesting you know if you look at um blinkens recent speech um to uh the the uh it was an AI conference uh sorry the the national security commission on artificial intelligence uh summit and there's a couple of things that he said which resonate very strongly with the way that we're looking at this as well it's you know it's not that you need to unsure everything but we need to work to partners and he used the term to friend shore or near shore and I think that's a really interesting concept to work to it's how do we work more creatively with other partners and we've certainly been doing that through the quad mini laterals bilaterals to think about how do we shape that supply chain so that we can use trusted vendors and trusted suppliers know where the tail of that supply chain comes from know that there's some transparency around that supply chain and you know it's excellent work that my home affairs colleagues have been doing for some time now on driving that uh you know the domestic discussion on supply chain resilience and what it looks like we're taking that further with colleagues across government to have that conversation internationally to ensure that we can not only diversify our supply chain but ensure that we have trust built in as far as possible into that increasingly diverse supply chain that we're now working with. Tao I might bring you back into the conversation at this point because I think what we've heard pretty much across the board today is that there's a bit of a renaissance in industry policy it wasn't very it wasn't very sexy in the 80s and the 90s and now all countries are doing it Australia's doing it we've heard an eloquent plea from Tim Watts for Australia to be doing more on quantum for instance the US is doing it even though industry policy was once anathema to the Americans China's doing it too um so my question to you is where do you see this going looking ahead 12 months 18 months with a resurgence of industry policy where does this leave the world does it actually mean that globalism as the title of this session was titled it does it mean that globalism is dead what is going to replace it and what does the world look like and what does the global economic situation look like 12 months 18 months into the future as we all start to do industry policy in this space more thank you that's a very good question it's quite ironic that the US one of the big accusations on China of course is that China has conducted industrial policy subsidizing its domestic firms and that makes Chinese firms inefficient uncompetitive but somehow it worked wonders so therefore the US is going to do it as well so it's it's unclear to me that you know is that going to be really successful the current world with an open economy globalization and so on has led to deep integration especially in the tech space where you know US actually is the absolute leader in technology with you know the upstream for example in the semiconductor space upstream the design and so on and the IP are all from the US the manufacturing are in Taiwan and Korea and so on are in the French or in the alliance of the US is only the assembly at the last stage that is a lot of that is in China but I think the US it would be very interesting to see how this collaboration with with allies work because the policy is you know allies please work with us to have a united front against China but by the way I'm going to subsidize my semiconductor company so the manufacturing is in the US not in any of the allies space so I'm curious how these policies you know all for oneself each for oneself works I think the end result it probably will not happen in the next 12 to 18 months though because reshaping the whole industrial structure and it was take a long time but I think you know eventually subsidies and so on from each countries will try to I suppose disassemble the already quite competitive supply chain a very efficient supply chain that means that even though companies may not want to do so to de-globalize and decouple political pressures from each government is going to force the companies to do that that's going to raise the cost of production for companies that's going to make things less efficient as before and that's going to mean higher cost for consumers for taxpayers in every country not just in the US or in China so I think that's not a ideal outcome but probably a more realistic outcome given the political winds that's blowing in most countries at the moment. Tim I might bring you in here because it's interesting Taos mentioned this concept of efficiency which has been the organizing principle I would argue of of liberal economics for some decades but we also now have a competing concept of resilience as well and I wonder if you have a reflection on the extent to which I mean to efficiency and resilience in this area do they trade off against each other or are they one of the same coin I suppose COVID has really shown us that sometimes very efficient supply chains may not be the supply chains that get us through in a crisis so welcome your reflections on that kind of complex trade-off in the tech space. Yeah I mean I found myself reflecting while listening to Taos observations that while the Americans may they may disavow industry policy in word in action they're probably the the world's greatest exponent of industry policy and they have a and have since you know since the Cold War a very complex system of state institutions and policies designed to promote their their technology sector like people like Mariner Matsukado have detailed in you know in great depth the way that institutions like DARPA for basic research flowing through to Incutel for directing venture capital funding to strategic imperatives of the US security establishment work together to create the great private sector efficient companies that we we know and love like you know the apples and the googles of the world you know even companies like Tesla and SpaceX the sort of the new generation of those have benefited enormously from that innovation system that the US has been operating in this space but I think there is a different calculation on the efficiency and resilience context when we are moving into a less stable global order less stable from you know COVID but less stable increasingly in the future from climate change and less stable from geostrategic considerations so so maybe that the balance between efficiency and resilience you know hasn't changed in a philosophical sense but it has changed because the context that the companies are operating in and that that nations are operating in is significantly different there there is just a lot more risk and instability built into the way that the global supply chains operate today I should also say in cybersecurity a moment will follow another significant source of instability across international supply chains we've got a few questions coming in from the audience and keep them coming I'll come to them in a moment I just wanted to wrap up with one final question to set a really a baseline for our discussion going forward because it occurs to me we're talking a lot about technology is this huge amorphous thing but it might be helpful to for us to break it down a little bit into what some call the technology stack right so the bottom you've got the inputs you've got the infrastructure you've got software and algorithms it's in on top of that and then there's a social and informational layer that sits on top of that and I suppose I might having set up a little bit of that framework throw to Toby to ask you two things one is my framework broadly right and please tear it to shreds and two how does Australia go about I guess prioritising or thinking about those different layers and making sure we're doing the right action in the right places yeah look it's um it's a frequently asked question is so you know you're the mandate of your job has expanded and you've got this thing called critical technology on the end of it what does that mean um and and if I'm honest it's important that you don't tie it to you know exact technology types I first need to caveat the fact that yes inside government within classified circles we're absolutely you know looking through one of those technologies that are critical to us as a nation you know and that that could vary depending on you know what your supply chain looks like what you may have a shortage of or a surplus of at any given time um but certainly when when we were conceptualizing critical technology and where the expansion of this position came from it began from the position of okay so we have cyberspace which is the infrastructure part you know which which creates the the the internet that we know and love and operate on often without even thinking about where it comes from but then there's this whole range of other technologies which are feeding off of that infrastructure and the data that it provides so therefore logic and you know look the first big tech decision that really was if you're like a canary in the coal mine was the 5g issue um which you know we should be speaking about for quite some time now in the international context but that illustrated that when we have these new technology innovations which build on that infrastructure and then further enable it and also then produce enormous amounts of data which are then going to feed further that innovation cycle that certainly was the jumping off point but you know look still we would include within that you know biotech and critical minerals you know though the absolute base sources of how we can then build silicon chips and and build all the parts of the you know critical infrastructure that we need to continue um so you know for us we took a definition of critical technology as meaning those technologies that are critical to your national security your economy or your social cohesion and and within the context of the strategy that we wrote we decided not to drill down into individual subsets of particular technologies on purpose because certainly for the international engagement part it's important to be thinking in broader concepts you know you asked the question of me first off around well what should Australia be doing well what's certainly evident is whether we like it or not now technology is being interpreted its use is being interpreted in extremely different manners and that means that we've got to be a bit more conscious and protective in projecting our values into the way that technology cycles mature and also the way that technology is absorbed into international systems otherwise we could well find ourselves in a world which we don't really want to live in to be frank because many of these technologies are being interpreted in quite draconian ways which which are completely opposed you know the way that Australian values and interests and principles um adhere to so you know it's that that's where we began with and that's what the strategy really tries to outlay so that we can engage and there's broader subset of you know diplomats government officials can engage on these issues with confidence without having to have you know a deep understanding of how an AI sorry an AI algorithm might be programmed you know they don't need to know that but they do and can do good work in terms of projecting our interests in the tech space because in terms of windows of opportunity I would say we genuinely have now I would say a five to ten year window in which to shape these technologies which are maturing rapidly in ways again but I think the public would find quite hard to understand and sometimes it's good just to reflect on history and think about where we are digitally and the way that our lives are so um sculpted by our digital engagements even compared to five years ago if you know and I would challenge anyone who's listening today just go and do a self-check of where they may have been digitally five years ago compared to now and I bet that it will be quite surprised now if you ramp that up to a national a regional and then a global level um we need to be in the middle of that game um to be frank regardless of which exact technology we shouldn't tie ourselves to exactly which technology is because it may mean you know much like an innovation cycle it might be that you target efforts in one area and realize ah no it's not that area that's the important one we need to shift quickly so having that flexibility to be able to turn quickly is absolutely vital I would say in terms of this area Toby I'm going to stop you there because we've got 10 seconds before there's a hard cut off here thank you so much to our panelists and specifically also the audience for your questions we look forward to keeping the conversation going


The Savannah College of Art and Designs Museum of Art turned ruins into revitalization at the country's only surviving antebellum railroad complex. Built in 1856 by slaves, the railroad depot was a Union stronghold during the Civil War and later the heart of Savannah's African American commercial district. Yet by the late 20th century, after decades of neglect, the complex lay in ruins. The college recognized the neighborhood's value and chose to expand in the blighted area. The 82,000-square-foot museum, which showcases world-class African American artists, was erected within the footprint of former warehouses. The museum conserves historical material, enlivens a formerly dead streetscape and reconnects this district with Savannah's vibrant center. The museum's location gives voice to a historically marginalized demographic in the very place where history occurred. It's truly a lesson in the art of conservation.


Hundreds of marriage equality supporters gathered at Boston City Hall Tuesday, the same day at the nation's highest court began hearing arguments.  Today I am honored to stand with you and with families all across Massachusetts and our country and calling for the Supreme Court to extend the right of marriage equality to all Americans and to finally end this era of discrimination. Thank you all for being here. Boston Mayor Tom Menino said he was proud on the city and the state's record of supporting gay and lesbian rights to marry. Well I think we're a state of equality that's why when the first issue came up we're the first in America to allow people to get married and I'll always support that issue of equality for all. When America was built on that was Boston, that's how I live as my political statement is that we're here to make sure everyone has equality no matter if they're straight, gay or whatever they may be. That's what Boston's all about. Rallyers came with signs and flags expressing that it was time for a change. I've been involved in the LGBT community for a while now.  Neil Manahan teaches Boston's gay and lesbian youth that the federal government must act. The marriage issue in Massachusetts I think we've arrived at. The problem is that it's not recognized in the federal government. So, you know, that's what this case is about and that's why it's so important. I'm in the same sex marriage and my taxes are treated differently and run differently. My federal rights are differently. The Obama administration has not enforced the Defense of Marriage Act. The Supreme Court takes up the issue. The ruling is not expected until June. In Boston, Mike Neff for the Boston University News Service.
