A former secretary to the government of the federation has stated that the northern Christians are in support of the presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Abbey. Lowell, who was speaking at an interview, said that Ubi had more chances of winning the election. Then the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu, asked why he chose to endorse the Labour Party presidential candidates. The APC Chieftain said a government by the duo of Pitobi and Dati Baba Ahmad would give Nigeria its desired peace. The Astiwadru campaign team in the south-east has faltered and displaced the former secretary to the federation, Mr Babachel Lowell, from Adamawa State for insinuating that the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, will not get votes from south-east in Nigeria. The campaign team said that Babachel would have been no farther from hallucination when he opined that the south-east was a no-go area for Tinubu and requested the ex-SGF to go back and watch the tremendous support of the zone in Tinubu's visits to just two states of the zone when the full campaign period has not even commenced. While joining us to discuss this is Alad Dottung Hassan. He is the global president of the European Council worldwide. Thank you so much for joining us, Dottung. It was a pleasure to be here. So going to what Babachel Lowell has said, now we've seen, I think you and I have had a conversation in this direction when the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubo Dogara, started this campaign against the Muslim-Muslim ticket saying that this does not necessarily sit well for those who are Christians in the north. Now again, Babachel Lowell is coming out to say that Northern Christians are endorsing the Liberal Party candidate as opposed to his own party candidate. Let's hear your thoughts on this matter. Well, let's get it clearly. The Northern Christian is just one group of persons that have interests from the religious point of view, in view of the fact that there was a Muslim-Muslim ticket that Ashurajibullah Khmeritunubu chose the person of Chaitseema Kashim as his vice presidential candidate, and that led to one or two issues from some members that have Christian faith within the APC. So many of the entire Christian faith that is a different, we must separate it from the entire Christian faith in the whole nation is that just Christian members of the APC. And that does not mean they did not appreciate Ashurajibullah Khmeritunubu. They've shown tremendous support from the outset. So considering the issues that have been raised by Babachel Lowell, to me, I've defended Ashurajibullah Khmeritunubu presidential candidate not on the premise of religious animosity, but on the premise of capacity, competence, and experience. So what we are looking at today is an issue of self-emotion, self-inflicted pains, and how best can we pacify the aggrieved. And I believe that Babachel Lowell is one of the aggrieved persons. So there is no harm in somebody being expressive of his opinion or emotions. But when you now get to the level of hatred, pessimistic views and also penchant mod sliding, so we cannot be able to get the actual truth from that opinion. And that is what has bedeviled the opinion of Mr. Babachel Lowell. That is the former SDF of the federation. So to many, even to the camp, if so, belongs to, that is the APC Christian Association, denied him in whole. So it shows that he's just within his own volition, he's acting on his self-wage. So we wouldn't want to make him feel so lonely. That is why I'm appealing that if you rethink those statements he had, he chose to put in the media by granting a personal endorsement of Peter Albee as the candidate of his own personal group or his own person as Babachel Lowell. So that is just how we can describe the bottom. Many Christians, a lot of Christians are reviewing their thoughts on the premise of one equitable balancing between the North and the South and also looking at who best can drive us, especially at this critical point in time. Okay. Let me quickly come in there. Let me quickly come in there. You started off by saying that this was purely political and... No, it's emotional. Well, you said it was politically motivated and not necessarily about religion. But I just want to quote Babachel Lowell. Just because he's not here. So let's give him that benefit of the doubt. He said when he was asked why he decided to go in the way of the Labour Party, I'd like to quote him directly. He said, we're politicians and we're realists. We want to support a political party that has the potential to win and rule, then address all other dynamics in society like marginalization, insecurity and inclusiveness. He also went on to say that there are still some Christians who are hanging around the APC and of course, whatever their reason, we don't begrudge them. He said, some are in the PDP, but he said the average Christian rank and file in the North, they are for the Labour Party. Now according to Lowell, he says chances were that the election would go to a runoff rather than win directly from the ballot. What are your thoughts? Well, let me say, in election politics globally, there's no amount of how much opinion or how you foresee or the foreseeability rule. Most times politicians, any politician that is going into any political contest always sees himself as a winner until he loses. But the fact that the political machinations and every other thing at this point in time is all about winning for Ashwajibullah Ahmed Tunambu and Baba Chellawal, so unfortunate that Baba Chellawal has benefited from the milk only of Ashwajibullah Ahmed Tunambu than any other North Christian he predicated is political. So when you say the milk and honey of Baba Ahmed Tunambu, are you saying that he had put money, he had pumped money to Baba Tunambu? So are you saying that Baba Tunambu gave him that position? That he was not? So what exactly do you mean by the milk and honey of Baba Ahmed Tunambu? Please explain to me. In politics, there are virtues that you can benefit as a result of your commitment to that political venture, winning that political position. And when they are not choosing some specific positions that are of utmost importance to national development, they look at the spread, the personality and it's most predicated on interest and that is the key virtue of politics. That is the game of interest. Who's interest? I'm going to try to guide your opinion and our viewers that Baba Chellawal should not be coming from this angle is coming because if he's coming from that angle, he will be seen as a people. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I have to probe you. Why can't he? I mean, everybody has one vote. We know this. Hold on, let me just let me ask the question. If you're saying that he shouldn't be coming from this position, he has a position, he's a person, he has one vote. If he thinks and if he has other people who also think in this regard, why shouldn't he? Is it because he was breaded and buttered by Baba Ahmed Tunambu? No, no, no, let us look at the moral value of our views here. I'm not saying, the fact that I'm looking ahead to seeing Baba Tunambu as our president come 2023 after our 25th election of February, I still believe that there are some certain individuals who have benefited from the benevolent, the political benevolence of Ashwajibola Tunambu in ensuring that the benefit of that marja, when they are sharing all the legacies of stakes for Baba Chellawal to hand from the Christian faith from Adamu al-State shows how much more is value and the key interest stakeholders appreciated him and Ashwajibola Tunambu sincerely, I know how much I'm talking about, is a close ally of Ashwajibola Tunambu. He cannot deny that fact, but the fact that he's not the vice president or European to be won, or he's denying never to be won, it shows political vendetta here because when somebody is aggrieved, he can say anything and he can throw you up on the rail line and that's what is happening. I know that you're not Baba Chellawal because I was almost impressed upon to ask you what political vendetta you think he has, but then let's move away from that. Let's move away from that. Let's dwell on some factual things. Now, when Mr. Baba Chellawal was probed as to why he thought that there will be a runoff for the election, he gave us some statistics. He said that in his thinking, he thinks that Baba Tunambu will not get up to 25% in Kaby State, in Sakoto, in Zamfara, Kano, Yobi, maybe 25% in Borno, but he said know how so full an estate, it goes nowhere. He said, Baba Tunambu's ticket has antagonized the Christians, so he's going to lose. He said he will get the Southwest because of his affinity and it's our tons syndrome. But then he says, Artika will clear the most of the Northern states. Now, I'm going to ask you a direct question. Do you think that the Muslim-Muslim ticket will not cost the APC some states? Well, even without a widow of the Muslim-Muslim ticket, as a candidate, where you win, where you lose, you lose, I've run election and I've had a personal experience. So for the fact that the base of what we are looking at now is on the premise of Baba Chellawal pre-empting a runoff election, yes, INEC themselves is preparing for a re-run election should there be any as a matter of statutory principle. So for the fact that we believe that the election ahead of 2023, I cannot be grandstanding as though we are going to win, we're going to appeal to voters. What are we appealing to voters for, and that's where I'm coming from, is based on the 80-page document, the renewed hope of what Ashwaj is bringing on the table that is going to better our life. Shifting power from the North to the South is very important at this critical point in time. We know how Peter Obi came about, Peter Obi was the vice-president of Atikua BiBaka, meaning there must have been some political machinations in between the line and the politics that we are running on. We know that the game plan, yes, we understand the general opinion of some outside Fulani within the North to the South. What do you think the general acceptability of the TNU and his running mate ticket is across the country? I'm sorry, I don't want you to speak as president of the Yoruba council, I want you to speak as a lawyer and a Nigerian. How acceptable do you think this ticket is? Listen to me clearly, and you have no my opinion, I'm not too sensational or emotional about whatever I'm saying. You know my position, whenever I'm into any program or any other issues, I try to be very, very neutral and objective, but on this opinion, we are only looking at how can we heal the nation, we are not trying to look at how much of Christian-Muslim war. What Babachel Awal is promoting is a very dangerous methodology of politics. If you have to look critically, what kind of foundation we've never been to religiously opinionated on our political yastic or how we try to draw up our political pathfinding opinion. But for the fact that what Babachel Awal is aping on is a personal vendetta and hatred for not being able to cling to one or two inches, we are all aware. Sincerely, if you have been following my home view as the president of Yoruba council worldwide, all our press statements, even earlier before now, was a promotion of a Muslim-cretan ticket. I can admit that to anybody because it shows our natural love for every other religion. But for the fact that political calculation of article coming from the north, being a musafulani, and how do we really balance to get in road to that extent, it's wrong to balance that political value. And I believe from that opinion, we cannot avoid a sizey importance of winning. But I wouldn't want the Christian community to now look at it from the point of aggressive vendetta or trying to retaliate over non-issues. Because I'm sure you all know from Lagos state, it has shown high level of respect. No religious has to tell you that they have been locked down for once, or they have been a ban on an Islamic or a Christian faith, or the Christian religious leader. Lagos, even south-west as a home. Are Yoruba people for who you know us to be, we are not this dangerously a mess in religious animals? We have to go. Unfortunately, Doton. We have to go. I'm so sorry. Unfortunately, we have to go. Alar Doton Hassan is the global president of Yoruba council worldwide. We thank you so much for being here. Unfortunately, time is not our friend. Thank you very much. All right. Well, that's it on the show tonight. But before I go, I would like to give you my take. Here's my take. Now, there are many ways to recognize a functional democracy. Unfortunately, when we speak of the Nigerian model, it fails to spectacularly in every unit addressed it. Even talking or taking into consideration the emotionally charged arena of politics, you realize that asking why our elected officials can't seem to solve our problems isn't a question worth asking. It's obvious by now that so many of our officials actually work against our interests. One standard by which to judge our democracy is the acceptance of resource of an election and the unimpeded transfer of power. In an ideal world, we would have the corporation of the incumbent team of AIDS and the transition team of the incoming government officials to familiarize the latter with the inner workings of the office. But instead, what we see here is the outgoing governor trying to go on an employment drive for high-ranking officers or offices to settle the new governor with problems before he even takes over the government. And it makes me really wonder what kind of democracy are we actually operating in this country. Well, that's my take. I'm Mary Annakon. I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good evening.


Whether you're a gamer, a professional, or someone who just wants to put his feet up while he watches YouTube, a desk is important. It is where we enshrine our RGB madness, but it is also where we would rather spend the least amount of money. A new desk isn't as exciting as getting a new graphics card or a PC case, but it's something a lot of people never choose to upgrade because the budget is better used elsewhere. But what if I told you you could transform your old table into a premium desk set up for as cheap as 8,000 pesos or even less? Would you believe me? I'm Rafael from Hardware Sugar and I just discovered the Tabletop Hack. A couple of months ago, I found a furniture maker who did a fantastic job at making my dream desk come true. I spent 7 years fantasizing about this desk and it was worth every penny. If only, however, it didn't cost a whopping 35,000 pesos or roughly 700 US dollars. The table was made out of two Alex drawers and a solid slab of mahogany which was placed on top of the drawers. It is a stunning piece of furniture which gave me a lot of legroom and a massive amount of space to put as many monitors as I wanted. You can see the full review of this at the link above. Recently, however, I got kicked out of my room for some slight renovation. I dreaded the feeling of having to use just one monitor again because it was too difficult to move my new desk into the other room. And the spare desk I had was way too short to have my PC and two monitors on top of it alongside my plan, of course. And that's when I realized. This video is handed to CDKoffers.com.

Not only did I have the exact same amount of space as I used to, but installation was quite literally placing one piece of wood on top of another, and got me thinking. For the seven years that I checked Pinterest pictures and YouTube videos about desk setups, never did I come across a similar idea which saves on the environment, is cheaper than a full-fledged desk, and at the same time greatly enhances the looks of my desk setup because of the natural feel and finish of pure thick wood. Does the tabletop move? Heck no! There is so much weight on this that this isn't going to budge unless you really want it to. One of the greatest things about a wood countertop is that you can quite literally move it to any other piece of furniture any time you want because it's a plank of wood. So if you ever get tired of your recital desk, or if you see another piece of old furniture which might be a better fit, you can just move it to that table instead. The main benefits are, firstly, you can get a modern premium desk for a lot cheaper. I asked my furniture supplier to give me a breakdown of how much my desk cost, but just for the wood countertop. I did the math and it came out to 109 pesos per inch. My table is 30 by 80 inches, thus coming out to 12,000 pesos. However, most people don't need the length of a table which can dine eight. I would recommend that a decent size office table countertop would be 50 by 23 inches or a cost amounting to 8,000 pesos. Yes, there are local companies who make completely new tables for around the same price or a little bit cheaper, but are the countertops of these other suppliers made of pure wood?  You have to remember that just because it looks like wood doesn't mean it's wood. Laminated MDF and plywood may look like wood, but they are actually discarded wood shavings which are merged together through heat in order to become a single solid piece rather than individual scraps. You will see bending with these kinds of countertops.  I just had a really good experience with axe woods and I can't help but recommend them. Secondly, using real thick wood provides a premium experience. I highly recommend 2 inches of thickness. My mahogany countertop emits a natural red when hit directly by light and the individual grains you see on the top remind me that I have a desk which is unique as they were formed through the natural process of years of growth before its life was sacrificed to serve my commercial needs. This brings me to my next point.  The table I'm using is an old table we've had in the family for many years. It's a classic furniture piece from Bulacan made out of Nara and it's called a memory table. It is meant to connect with an identical table through these ports in order to extend it. By itself however, it doesn't serve my needs for productivity and if you have a lot of unused furniture, maybe you could consider looking at them with potential for a similar setup rather than selling them for less than its value. Finally, if you ever want to complete the upgrade path for your desk and get alex drawers like mine, the option is available anytime because you already have the most important part. The countertop. It does give you the benefit of getting a good looking top now and improve on it in the future. A KLB opening in the Philippines soon and you can probably get cheaper alex drawers there. Dangerous. Do not however do this with just any kind of table. A thick countertop like this requires two people to carry and the added weight of the computer and the monitors will require that whatever table you are attempting to enhance must have the foundation and strength to carry that weight. In short, there is a danger for your computer and expensive hardware to collapse if you aren't careful on the table you are choosing to recycle and the countertop you are going to place. If you aren't an expert then feel free to inquire with professionals but please take care of your stuff. What you need. First, you need to know how much space you can max out your work area. Get a measuring tape and see how wide you can allot to the upgrade so you know how large a wood plank you should get. By the way, if you don't want to expand the area of your desk but want to upgrade its look then placing the wood countertop on top also achieves that. The top of this MDF cabinet is just cheap white MDF like this one but you don't see it because I had the furniture maker drill the same hog at the countertop on top of this. Second, you need to make sure that what you are getting is the genuine deal and that the plank of wood won't bend or break off thus resulting in the unthinkable. Do not get plywood or MDF as the countertop. Alex Jowers which are made of MDF however are fine to act as support but not as the actual countertop. If you feel like being creative there are a lot of YouTube videos on how to make a great wood countertop and how to stain it as well. Thirdly, choose the desk you will be recycling and make sure that it can handle the weight of your modifying wood countertop and your PC gear. Do not use tables with a glass countertop. You are asking for a disaster of epic proportions. Again, if you are in doubt ask an expert. Fourth, you may want to place rubber pads so that the two pieces don't scratch each other. Heck, I didn't even bother sticking them and so I just threw the entire package along with the plastic in between. That way, if you ever change your mind on the combo you made, you won't have damaged either of the pieces. Finally, for comfort purposes, I always recommend you make sure the height of the desk is leveled with that of your armrests and that there is enough leg room for you so that you don't feel restricted. My temporary setup has an okay height but my legs feel sore after being pressed hard against the wood all day. If you want a good looking desk, this is a fast and cost effective way to give your current one a really nice makeover. Provided you make sure that the pieces you choose are sturdy and safe. No upgrade is worth taking if there is even a slight chance that it might result in injury.

So good Thursday morning everybody. I hope you all are doing well. I'm happy to be here along with my colleague Kyle Boyson to share some digital tools that can be utilized in the classroom. I'll be going first to share a couple of tools and then Kyle will take over. So my name is Corana Cashord. I am the Director of Educational Technology for the Arizona Department of Education Adult Education Services Unit. The first tool I'll be featuring is Padlet. I'm going to show you all about Padlet. I'll demonstrate three examples of how Padlet can be used as a classroom tool. Then you will get to experience Padlet as a student would. And finally you will get an overview of how to create your own Padlet. So first of all what is Padlet? Padlet is a free tool with paid options. With the free version you can create up to three Padlets. So collaboration Padlet is an easy way to stay in touch with students with live updates. So for example during class time you would be able to see what is being posted as it's happening. It is accessible so Padlet can be used on a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or smartphone with the apps available for Apple, Android and Amazon devices. It supports many different file types which include website links, image uploads, document attachments and so on so that that can be added to a post in Padlet. So this offers flexibility in the types of deliverables you require of your students. It's also flexible so you can make them as simple or as complex as you'd like. You can make them personalized or plain. The Padlets that I will show you all use the same layout which is a grid or columns. But there are many other layout choices to choose from. And last but least Padlet is easy and intuitive. I know that it that's subjective but I do believe that Padlet is indeed easy and intuitive to use for any level of technology experience. It has a familiar feel if you have used or if you do use interest or social media you'll notice some some similarities. So I like to think of Padlet as education's Pinterest. So the first example is using Padlet as a discussion board. So this is what Padlet could look like if you were using it as a discussion board. You have your title up top which in this case is current events the 2020 census followed by a prompt for students to reply to. So this here is the prompt. The first boxes at the top of each column are the headings. So these this is where you can customize and enter whatever information you want. So these boxes here are where you can adjust what content goes in them and you can also adjust the amount of column. So you can have 10 columns. You can have one column that's completely customizable. In this case students were given a sentence starters and asked to reply in the appropriate column. Students would hit the circle at the bottom of the column to add their response. So they would read the prompt and then decide which column they wanted to reply to or their response went with and then hit this circle button here to enter a reply. So if you notice the prompt asks them to provide a credible source. So this is where being able to insert a link and or attach a document comes in handy. So the goal here was to give students an opportunity to express their concerns regarding the census and you as a teacher could address any misconceptions that they may have had regarding the census. So this is just an example of how the discussion board could be used. You could also use padlet as a resource repository. So now that we are working remotely staff meetings and other opportunities to collaborate may have gone down. So this is one way you can still come together and share resources with your colleagues. As you can see here we have several states sharing ideas about an attendance reporting model known as the teacher verification model. This setup could be used to share instructional materials with other teachers at your program or maybe by subject. So if we change these headings instead of having the states here if we added reading language arts, math, civics, science or if we had teachers names if we had Mrs. Casual we had Mr. Boyson etc etc you could have a one-stop shop for instructional materials that are vetted by your peers. So this is one way that you can still collaborate with your with your fellow teachers as far as sharing instructional resources or any other information announcements that sort of thing that you wanted to share and collaborate on. The last example of how we can of how to use padlet is using it as a mini LMS and I mean mini. So maybe you have a lot of instructional resources for your students you just need a way to organize and manage submissions. Enter a padlet. So the title can be for example the teacher's name and subject or just the teacher's name and let each column be a different subject. So for example here I have the teacher and the subject and then please find your class each column please please find your class column and attach your assignment when completed. So I mean depending on how your program is set up and how you want to set up this mini LMS you could have your eligible one class or if you have multiple subjects in one class and it's more by day so you could have your Monday Wednesday AM class here and this is an example of a post that I gave for an assignment. So it says please complete the practice problems below and return by Friday. So one thing that I do recommend is color coding your post your your post as the teacher a nice bright color so that when you start getting submissions and the scroll bar gets longer and longer students can easily identify your posts whether they're announcements or assignments. So if you consider scrolling down down down down every time they see a bright orange post they'll know that it's an assignment or something they need to read from the teacher. So this assignment was to complete a handout with math problems and students can submit them with the reply. So once they reply they can say I said hi teacher here's my assignment they can up if they saved it to their computer they can upload from a compute their the file from their computer. This happens to be from a Google Drive so they could even just enter the link to their Google document as a submission. They could take a picture of their of the handout and upload it there so they have all these options to upload their assignment. Another example so if you see here there's the film circle. So if you wanted your ESL students to practice speaking for example they could use the film option to record themselves repeating a list of vocabulary words that you might give them. So there are many ways that you can that you can get a deliverable from your student thanks to this flexibility here all these options. Okay so now you're going to get to experience Padlet from a student's perspective. So I've set up this sample Padlet for us to use as a discussion board. If you have an iPhone you can just use the camera to scan the QR code otherwise you can go to the website read the prompt and add your story to to one or more of the categories. I'm sure we have more than one one story. You know somebody asked if there is a way to make the instructional text on the Padlet larger or more evident. Yes you can show you can adjust the font I'll show that just after this example. So this is an example of how Padlet could be used as a discussion board. So now I'm going to go over how you can create your own Padlet. So first up you would go to this website www.padlet.com and register for an account. I just use my Google account so that I don't have to remember a new login or password. It gives you that option so I definitely take advantage of that. Then once you log in you'll see that you'll see this menu here. You're going to click on the pink circle that says make a Padlet and then this is where you get to choose your layout. You can choose a wall which is probably what you would see like in Pinterest, Canvas, Stream which you would see for example on social media like a Twitter feed. Don't actually have Twitter so that might be inaccurate. I apologize. Grid is what I was using for the discussion board and the resource repository and the mini LMS. There's a shelf. There's back channel which like like you would see in your phone through texts. A map and a timeline. So you can choose any of from any of these and then you click there will be a gear button and you'll get this modify selection and this is where you can make all your you can you can basically customize it. So title you enter your title. You give the description. You can choose an icon and it basically has all of the emojis that you would have in your text keyboard so there's a lot to choose from there and then this address is important as well as you can see by default it just assigned you a combination of numbers and letters but this is where you can put something to make it easier for students to log into. So if you remember in the example mine was slash Q life quarantine life so you can make it first you can personalize that so it's easier for students to get into. You can adjust the wallpaper. You can make the color scheme whether it's darker or lighter and then you have these other options as well. So display author name above each post. If you're going to use it for classroom purposes I would say turn that on that way and it would require students to log in so they would have to get an account as well but you would see who posted what. But again if you did it like a mini LMS and their their submission had their name on it then I guess they wouldn't need to have their name above it but it's up to you. A new position post this is like email do you want the new post first or last the top rather bottom. Common so you can allow classmates to reply to posts reactions this is kind of like social media where you can give them a star a thumbs up heart that sort of thing you can choose what what icon they can give. Content filtering require approval before it gets posted so you can you can decide whether you want to approve things before they post and then a filter for profanity that replaces bad words with nice emojis so that's one. So in a nutshell that is padlet do we have any questions. Yeah there are a couple of questions still pending asking if you're using this for ESL classes. Personally no I am not using this for ESL courses. And the other question was do students need a padlet account. Yeah so if you turned on the attribution where the author's name was displayed students would need an account otherwise you would just give them the link like I gave you here and they could go in and post. Padlet is available in multiple languages but I've never tried it so I don't know how well the translations are. As far as the size of the text I thought it was here under but I mistake I mistook it for color scheme that you can be adjusted I apologize I don't see where you can adjust the size of the text. And then could you go over again personalizing the URL and how how that link is created so that students can receive it. Sure so here where it says address this yellow underline is where you can personalize so by default it gives you padlet.com slash your name or your username and this the last part of the slash is what you can personalize. So if you wanted to put a voice in math or you know whatever you wanted it to be this this is the section that you could customize and for example here the Q life is what I customized the sample went to because the topic was quarantine life. So this first part padlet.com slash Karina underscore Avila 07 will always stay the same but this last part the Q life is what gets customized. Once a padlet is created is it possible to erase it and use it again. Yes and that is what I do so like I said with the free version you can only create three but you can you can continuously modify update delete columns add new ones so it's as long as you don't need more than three at a time you can completely use those three over and over again. For the sake of time if there's nothing else I'm going to move on to our next tool which is loom and loom is a screen capture tool that I like to use because it's free easy and intuitive are three favorite words when it comes to tech tools. So the website is up here it's use loom.com and using loom is as simple as installing a plug-in which the website has a big blue button for so when you go to this website you'll see a big blue button that says get started with loom and you just click that and it'll install on your browser and then you select what you like to record so you see here we have the loom plug-in right here I think I have a circle for it so it's circling the logo of loom and then you choose whether you want to share your screen with your camera just your screen or just your camera and then you decide whether you want the full desktop which if you're going to be switching between tabs definitely recommend full desktop you're just going to stay on one thing like you're just doing a lecture for your PowerPoint presentation you're not going to be leaving the PowerPoint you can do current tab either way and then you just hit start start recording it'll give you a three two one countdown so that doesn't it doesn't catch you off guard and then the other tab that you see here through the plug-in is notifications so it'll tell you when someone's viewed the video for the first time so that you know okay they received it that sort of thing but it only gives you a notification for the first one not thereafter and you can also disable that if you'd like so when you log into the website you can organize your videos into folders much like you would in a Google Drive so here this is how I recognize my my ADE folders miscellaneous questions and tips for success so I use loom I teach online courses for Grand Canyon University so this is what I use for that and then obviously ADE Arizona Department of Education to the videos I've created for that so you can organize them any way you like and two of the main ways that I use loom is to offer feedback and answer simple how-to questions so for example for feedback videos you see here they're they're relatively short between two and a half and three and a half minutes this project so there's only two to four people per group so hopefully everyone got to see it it tells you how many people viewed it and then how long ago it was made so if you think of your typical grading time you review the content you might write your notes on the side sometimes students have questions about it like what did you mean here sometimes they're unable to read it that sort of thing but if you consider giving verbal feedback through loom you can give clearer and more in-depth guidance as well as use your tone of voice to encourage students so like you could say something like you know this needed some improvement but you really did a great job here you know like show your enthusiasm for what they're doing or demonstrate you know if it's a speaking thing if demonstrate how to pronounce it something or how if they misspelled it you can pronounce it for them and then show you know this is why that sort of thing so ultimately the time it takes to review assignments is the same or less than grading with pen or paper and the feedback quality is generally greater because you can give more information easier and then the other thing I like to use it for is how-to videos so like I mentioned I teach online courses and I have found that with each course there's a set of frequently asked questions so I create a video to post in the discussion forum or announcements somewhere that I know students are going to go to that students can access so for example you get questions like how do I how do I access the rubric or how do I get to the grade book so you just create a short video how to do it so we can get that question you paste that link back to them and your set or maybe you have a colleague who sends you an email asking do you know how to access the Google Drive and you can do a quick screen capture of the steps and send the link off it's much faster and easier than trying to reply by typing out the steps and I mean some of the videos I've made are as short as 10 seconds so here I had a question from a teacher how about reading the student data sheets so I just showed them really quickly how to what each column represented that sort of thing I did a quick video on how to use the discussion board in Blackboard for one of the courses that we have going I have a introduction video about myself for my for my online course well 12 views it's like half the class so I won't take it personally and then again how to video for just demonstrating a tool Geogebra so it's two and a half minutes I mean it can be as long or as short as you want them to be or need them to be and that's loom so also consider that we just covered padlet so you may want to have your students create and deliver a presentation so they might have a PowerPoint presentation that you had them create but they're not able to present it in class as they would so they can record themselves presenting record their audio presenting each slide and then paste that link into their padlet as their submission so these tools can kind of work together as well we have any questions for loom there are a few here starting with is do you know if there's a limit on recording time with the free account I believe that there isn't a limit on recording time but there's like a limit on how many you can do wait or am I getting that backwards so I think that there is a limit on recording time but that's like 10 minutes something like that however what you can do is so what we did at Grand Canyon University is where I started using it is if you invite someone then you get that time is extended so my colleague invited me so she got the extended time then I invited the next colleague so I got the extended time so if you invite each other instead of all of you registering separately then that could work but I've never run into an issue where I have been cut off for the amount of videos I have or for length I'm not sure exactly what the time is we see I have 60 videos so far so I haven't been cut off yet but I do believe that there is a limit for the free account but it's pretty I mean it's pretty reasonable I haven't run into an issue with that yet and I hope that answers your question here are other questions so it's asking or they're asking can you download the videos and post them to YouTube which yes you can sorry the other thing I forgot to mention was as soon as you hit stop for recording the link is posted it automatically is attached to your clipboard so you just have to paste it wherever you want it to go so you don't have to copy the link somewhere you just paste it can you use loom on cell phones yes so at this point I'm going to pass it off to Kyle Boyce in Arizona is very talented blended and virtual learning specialist so take it away Kyle thank you Karina hi everybody I hope you're doing well my name is Kyle Boyce and I'm the blended and virtual learning specialist at adult education services division of the Arizona Department of Education today I wanted to feature a tool for you called play posit and we're just really quickly going to walk through and walk through setting up a play posit bulb and then understanding how you can utilize play posit to especially supplement distance learning and help with your classroom during this time of very specific needs so what is play posit to start play posit is a platform that allows you to bring in an external link for a video like a YouTube video or a video and you can take that video and insert interactions throughout the video that will stop the students viewing and ask them a question that you designate so in this example right here you can see that there is a clip from a video on heredity from the crash course series that's the link that I chose and I've ordered the video to stop here for students that are viewing it and pose them a question about how genetic traits are passed down from parents to children you can see it's a fill-in-the-blank question there are a bunch of different interactions which I will go into right now so once you pull in your link from whichever video you choose you can add discussion questions as you can see on the left here those discussion questions allow students to respond to a prompt that's given by the teacher and then reply to one another and all of those interactions are saved for that particular assignments so students can kind of build on their understanding in addition to that there are free response questions which require teachers to review responses afterwards there are where there are multiple choice and check questions as well that will grade themselves and provide instant feedback to students as well as fill-in-the-blank and other options as well so for this section right here you can go along with me and try this out this is a link to a preview of a bulb which is the term that playposit uses to describe a video that has interactions included inside of it if you did follow the link then it will look a little bit like what I have on my screen right here I'm going to click begin this is a this is a preview and so this video I'm going to pause it really quick to explain this video will not save the responses because we're just previewing it right now you need to assign it to students to be able to actually save responses I'm going to press play and I'll maybe talk over the video to explain what's going on water expands when it's heated and earth's ocean is taking in more than 90% of the heat from global warming that's a lot water temperatures also cause a lot of the ice to melt and it ends up in the ocean okay so you can see and usually there's a on the little navigating bar on the bottom there's indicators of where these are going to pop up but might didn't show up this time but you can see that I've included an interaction in this video and this is at a particular point in time where I felt as a teacher there it'd be good to check for understanding at the beginning of the video you can see on the left hand side this little sidebar is popped out with the question and these are checkbox answers so I've checked the two responses that I know to be correct and I'll click submit and what you can see right here is that it's given instant feedback to indicate that the student answered correctly there's a point total that you can you can adjust or you can remove if you if you so choose I'm going to click continue and it will take me on to the next bulb which I'm going to have to find I don't want to make you sit through the whole video right now if you don't want to now you can see the little bulbs that have been included on the very bottom and this is the second question which will have another fill in the blank answer it asked me to fill in how many feet the sea levels will rely will rise in in a child's lifetime that was born recently the answer I believe three I'm gonna put four just so you can see you well I got it correct so you can see right here that for fill in the blank it allows you to put in the anticipated responses for students I put four spelled out and then for the digit if it were to be answered incorrectly you would see that there'd be no points awarded and it would immediately tell the students that that was the case so I'm going to go ahead and click continue and as the ocean rises I'm going to jump ahead to the next bulb you can see down on this bar that there's these white bubbles that have appeared that's where I've included interactions there is the only planet we've got and you can see right here that the video is requesting a long form answer so this type of answer if you I'm just going to type the word answer and click submit you'll see that this is an asterisk out of three points which will prompt the teacher later to review the answer and give feedback moving forward this is a discussion board post it has to do with politics so I'm not going to go too far into it right now I'm going to just type the word reply here and reply with a generic comment you can see that that comment is posted right here all students that subsequently view this video will then see that same comment and have the option of posting their own original reply back down here where I post where I typed before or clicking reply underneath another student's comment and commenting on what they've included so you can facilitate a discussion this way and that's pretty much it for this example video because I want to take some time to show you what things look like from the perspective of a teacher but first I think it's probably okay to take some questions right now if if there are any where did the questions come from and did you create them these are questions that I created so I've created a a handful of different videos just as kind of an example but these are fully customizable there is the option I'm glad you brought it up there is a repository that's available of all of the public lessons that teachers have created so you can go through and find content that other teachers have assembled and use that to to make the process a little bit quicker okay the next question says do the students have to answer before continuing with the with the viewing activity or can they skip answering the questions so the way that functions is customizable by the teacher so you can go ahead and you can choose how you want the video to be consumed I suppose so once you get to interaction you can say can does a student have to answer the question right now can the student quick skip the question can the student go back those are all options that you can enable or disable depending on what you're going to be using the video for so there's a lot of customization in there as well okay next question will spacing matter when answers are entered i.e if you hit the space key before entering four would that have affected anything yeah I believe so I haven't tested it extensively but from what I understand based on the way that it interprets answers you want to be very careful about the the way students be very careful in informing students that they need to answer the in the cleanest way possible I suppose the most direct because those fill in the blank ones are going to you're going to be able to put in as many answers as you want to anticipate but it's not going to be able to account for errant special characters and spaces and things like that so I'm going to be careful awesome can the students click on the videos at any time or do students and teacher need to be online at the same time so this video that we just watched that I just went through is a preview and is actually accessible at any time and is a great option if you want to just add annotations to a video and have students view it and kind of be guided through the process but once again it doesn't record answers if if you want it to record answers then this teacher needs to assign it to the students that they've put in their class on PlayPosit which is something I'm actually not going to go into how to do today but those resources are available on the PlayPosit website okay and last one can the created videos be inserted into another platform like canvas so the integration for PlayPosit is definitely integrated into Google classroom I'm not a hundred percent on the canvas piece I have to verify that in fact we're going to look briefly at a Q&A sorry an FAQ that's included on PlayPosit's website later and it probably addresses it there but the only one I can confirm is Google classroom right now awesome and that's it for questions okay so I'm going to jump back over to the presentation for just a couple brief slides getting started with PlayPosit is pretty simple don't go do this right now it'd probably be better to follow along but all you're going to need to do is go to playposit.com you're going to log in and you can see in the first the first slide right here the login piece is just at the top right after that I would highly recommend logging in with an account that's linking your Google account linking your Office 365 account or something that will help you remember the password because it's just one more platform after that you'll be taken to a dashboard where all of your videos that you've created your bulbs is the word that they use all the bulbs you've created are displayed as you can see in this third slide and then there's a button a blue button that says add Doombolt all you have to do is click that and it will take you to what I believe is called the director and that's where you're going to input the URL for the video that you've chosen so rather than inundate you with more slides I'm going to take you through that process so you can see my screen right here I have navigated to the dashboard where I can see all the videos that I've created you can see actually right here at the top is the video that we just viewed a preview of I'm going to go ahead and add a new bulb to show you the process that a teacher has to go through to create a bulb and I'm going to enter it's not the director it is the designer so once I'm in the designer this is where I can input a URL I'm going to click this input URL that has a link icon next to it and it will ask me to input the URL I'm going to click over to another tab right now where I have a video about learning basic greetings in English and then I'll jump back over to where I was I've copied that URL and I will paste it in this section once it's pasted in if it's a video that's from YouTube then PlayPosit will automatically find a preview of it and show you what you're getting into so that you can verify that this is this is indeed the video that you want to start to add interactions to and edit it will also offer the default title you can change that as needed if you have naming conventions for your classes that's all well and good I'm going to leave it for now as as a default too which is learning English in 30 minutes which seems like a tall order so I'll click done right here to verify yes that's the video I want to work with and it's going to take me to the place where I can start to add interactions I do want to let you know right now that if you want to add a second video you can do that or you can add a third and a fourth and you can inter-splice videos at your will which is a little bit more advanced and not something that I'm going to go into for the sake of time but is pretty useful if you want to be very very focused on the content on a certain piece of content that one video doesn't cover completely I want to direct you first we're going to play the video and I want you to listen to the first about 10 seconds of it speak real English from your first lesson sign up for your free lifetime account at EnglishClass101.com so the first 10 seconds of the video are essentially an advertisement and because I'm teaching language learners I don't really want to add any other distractions so one of the features that this designer has is if you click up here in the top left it's kind of hard to see there's an icon of scissors you can trim the videos down which is super helpful for focusing on specific portions of videos that may be longer than you'd like so I grabbed this green handle and I can move it all the way up and down I'm going to move it to 10 seconds just to clip out that advertisement and I'm going to shrink this down to three minutes so we have a two minute and 50 second video when all is said and done and I'm going to click done so now you can see that this video if I scrub back to the beginning and press play welcome to EnglishClass101.com that's going to start from the point that I've indicated I'm going to play the first 20 seconds after this so that you can get an idea of what this video looks like and then I'm going to start to insert some interactions English in three minutes the fastest easiest and most fun way to learn English hi how's it going I'm Alicia nice to meet you in this series we're going to learn some easy ways to ask and answer common questions in English it's really useful and it only takes three minutes in this lesson you're going to learn new more common ways to ask and answer the question how are you in English so my teacher senses are tingling and that means it's time to insert an interaction to make sure that students are following along I'm go ahead and insert a free response which you can see right here now that I've chosen to add interaction I can add multiple choice fill in the blank pull check boxes discussion you can also add embedded images and you can add annotations which are super helpful if you're doing something that's more of like a guided walkthrough of a video these templates I'm not going to go into right now but are helpful if you're doing the video series that has similar videos and you want to apply interactions at certain points so I'm for this first interaction just going to click free response and you'll see right here that it's going to have me enter enter my question I'm going to enter the question what will you learn from this video I have these already prescripted here and then when students get to the 37 second mark as you you can see right here in the blue text at the top of this interaction then it will ask them what will you learn from this video and they'll be able to provide a response in long answer form so they can write a paragraph if they just use remember those are going to need to be reviewed by the teacher afterwards so they're a little bit more time consuming but can offer you a little bit more insight as well so I'm going to click play and I'm going to continue on you've probably learned how are you and I'm fine in textbooks before she's going to go over a couple examples of of how people ask or how people greet each other in English and I'm going to fast forward a little bit she goes over some some questions that you might hear and some response potential responses not bad let's look at our question again how are you this is the most well known way of asking how someone is you can so I'm going to add interaction right here to ask what the examples that she went over were and I'm going to make it a checkbox I'm going to say well it's less of a question and more of a command here check all of the sentences that are common responses to how are you and so we've got good she went over not bad not great I'm going to add it right here another answer option not great and then also over there which is kind of the the obvious choice to not check so as a teacher once you click once you insert these checkbox options you need to check the correct answers so that the students will understand will receive that immediate feedback and it will be auto graded so I'm going to go ahead and press done it's going to include that second interaction at 130 and that's essentially how that process will go you'll go through the video stop it at certain points that you think are essential and add interaction to check for understanding or create a discussion you can see right here that these interactions have been included on this this designer section so that I can see which order they go in and I can also edit them and I can see the timestamp as well I'm going to fast forward really quickly to the very end of the video and I'm going to include one interaction that I haven't mentioned too much so far which is the poll you can go ahead and poll students at the very end and I'm going to ask them which response do you prefer when someone asks how are you I'm just going to type a couple of options right here I'm fine and great just to gather some information for students and to allow them to kind of have a little bit of agency express themselves in the class so done once that's done and I feel good about the bulb that I've created which once again is just the term for a video with interactions in it I click on review I can type a learning objective in here I'm not going to do it right now you can tag the video so it's searchable by the public the there was a question about playback options earlier that I want to address if you drop this menu down you can allow learners to rewind after an interaction appears so they can go back and find the answer or rewatch a video if they miss something you can allow learners to skip interactions if you so choose you can allow learners to jump through the video and fast forward if you choose and you can allow them to retake it so you have a bunch of options of how you want to deploy this how high stakes you want to make it if you're going to make it strict and stop them and not let them rewind so those are all options that are in your control I'm going to save my changes right here save and exit it's going to take me back to my dashboard you'll see here at the top the video that we just created or the bulb excuse me over on the action side I can then assign it to my class and I'll do that really quick but I'm not going to go through how to create a class so this is kind of hedging into the territory that's that's not been explicitly explained but if you have questions not only are there resources on the site but there are also we'll take a second to answer some questions at the end of this so unassigned selected date it says for my class that's called pima training this is just for training that I was doing before I'm going to select a due date of the 14th so one week from today looks like midnight is the due date and then once it's assigned students will have that accessible as an activity inside of the platform I can also get the assignment link from here and copy that link and I can share it with students in my class or on an lms if if I'm doing an announcement on for example so even if there is an explicit integration you can you can address that piece by by copying those lesson ids over and then students have access to them will be able to will be able to access that concept pretty easily that is the quick introduction to a tool that that really addresses a lot of needs in a in a time of distance learning so I guess it's a good idea to take some questions if there are any yeah so the first one is do students need accounts to play play positive videos or to view play positive videos so the viewing of videos just like we did with the previews if you're not going to record responses you don't need an account for so that was the example we looked at earlier if you are going to record responses they will need to sign up for an account so if they have a google account I would recommend logging in that way but they can just supply their email as well okay and the other question is is there an option to slow the speed of the video that is a great question and I don't know off the top of my head so I'm going to jump over to the preview really quick and see if yes so um you can still see my screen I assume it looks like in the bottom right when you are in the preview video or the lesson you can slow the speed down just like in YouTube to quarter speed half speed and then you can speed it up if you're I don't know to try to torture your students I guess it says can you embed play positive videos in a blog or canvas course okay so I just mentioned going over or including that link and let's see orange I'm looking at an FAQ document that's pulled straight from their site here um organizations upgrade to institutional licenses because they want to integrate with LMS's so it looks like the integration with other LMS's is maybe a pro feature um all the the presentation so far has been done on only tools that are accessible for free by teachers so there is a limitation on how many learners can view these bulbs which is capped at 100 unique attempts per month so the example they give is if you have 25 students you can do four bulbs per month so this would be a supplemental material in the free version but if you do want to do a guided video with the preview like we did initially those options would be available for without any real limits that I've found so we wanted to say thank you very much for taking time out of your what I assume to be crazy busy schedules and joining us to look at some tools to aid in in your efforts to to continue to facilitate distance learning with your students um we have an email address that will reach all of the edSEC team if you have questions or looking for recommendations that you can reach us at AES edtech at azed.gov and then we are starting actually to do weekly webinars on these tools and we're kind of building up a repository of tools and guidance on how to use them and you can access that channel that part of our youtube channel at the bit.ly link below which we'll also include in chat here thank you for this information uh yeah I haven't seen anybody do the play post it um so that'll be fun to play with and I've got some new ideas on the padlet and the loom so thank you thank you for presenting remember everybody that the handout will be posted as soon as Karina gets it to me it'll be posted on the OTAN website and all the links that were contained within the the handout will be there on the OTAN site as well


So, we need a 57-yard field to win the game. And it's three! Okay, so Prater is a game winner. The first home in the season. Perfect. So, we need a 57-yard field to win the game. This is the only clip I've put in the video. How did we choke this lead? Looks like a nutcracker, and it's three! My God. Yeah, I had Marvin Jones' fantasy too. He went off today. Let's go. I'll take it. Okay, so Prater is a game winner. A lot easier to replicate in Madden than out here. I'm gonna be totally honest. I was pumped to come out to this field, to serve me in de-starring kicks, right? Because you usually get this massive win. And I haven't kicked at a high level in, like, five years.  There's no big win today. In fact, there's a crosswind, which makes it a little bit tougher. So, I might be out here for 10 minutes, get really lucky. I might be out here for six hours. I'm not really sure. This is a 50-yard line. Oh, that's a 60-yard field. We gotta add 10 for the end zone. People still don't know that sometimes, I don't know. I'm on the 49. I'm kicking this way to get, like, minor win. I know Prater can have wind. I know he's in a dome, but I'm also in that Matt Prater, so. Also, I have a Matt Prater jersey. Just pretend this is Matt Prater. They're both goats. It's fine.  I gotta do this in honor of Prater, though, for bombing that game. This is attempt number one. No cap. I might be able to do this, boys. So that's a horrible kick, no rotation. Ever since the de-strawing video, I lost my teeth, my one-inch teeth. So I've been kicking off the ground like a legitimate college NFL kicker. That excuse is no longer valid in the comments, so good try, bud, but get fucked. Oh, oh! That was a literal yard off! Oh my God, I Kody Park-y did it. Shot three. One more good one left. What I'm doing right now is a kicker classic. So I'm gonna come up to a 50-yarder. I guarantee I'm gonna hit this. Very easy. And then I'm gonna go back to the United, see if I'm not impressed. I'm sorry, boys. I'm not gonna be able to hit it, but I'm gonna kick off steps it. I'm sorry to cheat. I gotta do it, though. I gotta hit Prater's kick. So I'll put the kick off the out here and run up to it, and it's pretty easy at that point. I'm sorry. I need more reps, bro. I gotta get out here with de-strawing more. All right, Prater. I know that this is cheating, but I'm trying my best. Ah, sport probably work. I'll be out here 10 minutes, so I'll be out here six hours. We're going on. Seven hours, but you know what? We made it. I love you, Prater. I'll keep rappin' for ya. Hey, boys. That's a banger. After kickin' with de-strawing, I'm motivated, so I need to get better. I need to get a Prater jersey to fuel the energy. Could we even beat Washington football team?  I know you don't have any real fans, though, so it doesn't really matter. I'm not talkin' to anybody. But big dub. Lions 12 and four. Nice watches, always. I'll see you guys next video. Peace.

I'm the kind of housekeeper who doesn't like things showing I'm the kind of housekeeper that likes to find things where they belong. What are you complaining about? David you have the second rubber right there in your hand. I had a devil of a time finding it in that closet It's darker down there on that floor than the black hole of Calcutta Oh, I didn't know you've been to Calcutta and another reincarnation Fine way to start a day. I must say I think you were a squirrel in another reincarnation I have to comb my hair all over again terrible tragedy. Well, if I made you crawl around on the floor of that closet I'd never hear the end of it. I'm a woman woman has it makes no difference at all My mind was never unchained Darling, don't you want to sit on the chair so you don't break your neck? No, I have perfect balance People with perfect balance break their necks, too Probably even more often. How do you do that? Well? Firstly because they're so proud of their perfect balance that they take chances people without perfect balance would have the sense not to take Very convincing argument. I thought There See I have one rubber on already Well, you were probably standing on your good foot. No, both of my feet are good. Thank you Well, no credit to you hate rubbers. They remind me of when I had a governess that poor woman She must have had to have infinite patience David Going to break your neck. I'm warning you Managed well, so I see Confounded rubber won't go on The other foot went on all right. I can't understand it. It should fit Well, maybe your good feet are different after all my shoes aren't oh, David. Listen, please sit down You know, that's what these chairs in the front hall are for Something must be to matter with this rubber once you sit down darling, you'll see how simple it is It doesn't fit any better sitting down. They did standing up now No wonder no wonder what it's a rubber for my left foot What a rubber for my left foot and I'm trying to get it on my right foot Well, then you must have the rubber for your right foot on your left foot switch around. No my left rubber is on my left foot I'd have had more trouble getting it on Well, that is certainly clear Just have two left-handed rubbers. That's all You know, that's what it is two left-handed rubber. That's great Convenient all right. I wonder how darling maybe when you bought the robbers you had two left feet Could be it was quite a quite a while ago Attractive with two left feet. Yeah, I was I I walk kind of sidewise like this. You see me One foot was pigeon-toed and one foot was slew On the street, isn't that lovely when I walk down the street everybody turned around look at me Yeah, oh, I wish I'd known you then come to think of it. Whoever it was who took my Right rubber and left me his left one Come to think of it now. Hmm. He must have two right feet Say that's true Well, I hadn't thought of that. Let's see think hard. Yes, I'm thinking now. Who do we know with two right feet? I Will bet you that half the people we know have two right feet only we don't know it Yeah, but but who's been up here with two right feet and robbers? Only Roger Roger How happy that partner of mine must have been when he spied my right rubber I'll bet a man with two right feet has a terrible time buying a pair of rubber So he has to go around snitching the right feet of his friends Wait till I get my hands on him poor Roger. Well, I am on my way David the robbers What about them? Why aren't you gonna wear them? Fun is fun darling, but I have not got To left feet fun is fun But Roger hasn't got two right feet either so if he can you can't put them on now go on force yourself David you promised me a promise did I do that you did in a moment of weakness? No, I Cannot go back on my promise In that case, I should wear my rubber good. I didn't promise to wear anybody else's so I should wear only mine David now you can't go running around in one robber. Oh, who says I can't well all the other commuters a whisper and talk Who cares I should wear my one rubber and no more the other doesn't fit so it's one or none at all Personally, I think it's a very happy compromise David.  What are you gonna do with the other one? Bring it into Roger and exchange it for mine. See I can wear it We're on my left hand. See oh, of course. It fits perfectly. They look stunning. Oh Well, goodbye David Don't you even want to shake rubbers with me? I do not and all I can say is if I were walking down the street with you I wouldn't know you. Okay. Bye. Bye.

F1,000 research is online publication, online journal and we publish all good science regardless of perceived impact at time of publication. We're here sponsoring the poster session today. We also have a sister company called F1,000 posters who are the repository for the posters from the Neuroinformatics Conference today. I'm here because I'm interested in neuroscience generally and also we are looking to collaborate with people to publish their papers in an innovative way.


Well, last week we learned that Mike Lindell and Rick Wiles are beefing. And now Alex Jones and Donald Trump are apparently beefing as well. Everyone in the Trump world is seemingly turning on each other and you really love to see it. But Alex Jones was turned off by something Donald Trump said at a rally in Alabama and it doesn't necessarily seem like Alex Jones was alone, given the reaction from the crowd. Take a look. In a flashback to 2020 last night, former President Donald Trump held a rally in a state being ravaged by COVID. This time it was a rally in Alabama, which has the lowest vaccination rate in the country and is out of ICU beds. At one point, Trump did urge attendees to get vaccinated, but then he backed off after some of the MAGA faithful booed. Watch. The vaccines. I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines. But you got now. That's okay. That's all right. You got your freedoms, but I happen to take the vaccine. I recommend taking the vaccines. I did. It's good. Take the vaccines. The crowd then booze and he immediately does a 180. No, that's all right. You've got your freedoms, but I happen to take the vaccine, but you don't have to.  You know that Donald Trump's base, it's all a cult. Like the support around Trump is a cult of personality. There's no policy substance there. Having said that though, it is clear that Donald Trump, along with a lot of Republican lawmakers and even Fox News, like the entire right wing bubble is all very fearful of the Republican Party's base.  I would be afraid of them too if I was a Republican Party lawmaker, which is why I wouldn't be a Republican Party lawmaker because I for one really care about facts and science and reason and just like basic common sense, whereas they don't like that and they attack people who try to exhibit any common sense whatsoever. So when Donald Trump tells them, maybe you should take the vaccine. Even that like really tepid endorsement and I'm just like getting slightly nudged is enough for them to boo Donald Trump. Their savior. That's insane. So Alex Jones reacted to Donald Trump, encouraging people to get vaccinated and he is going to turn on Donald Trump and even go so far as to question Donald Trump of all people's intelligence. This is a really weird thing to watch like I watching this makes me feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Nonetheless, let's see what Alex Jones of all people has to say and a bunch of medical doctors. I want to play for you on this when we come back. But first, let's take President Trump, who I believe is a good person. And who I really care about and who I want to seek a lot of good Republicans elected the midterms and who I would love to see run again. We got to take him to the woodshed, though, because he came out last week on Fox and friends and said, I really am suspicious of this booster shot. If this supposedly works so well, why do you need a booster shot? Because you got lied to Trump. He didn't have 98% efficacy. We knew day one, it wouldn't work period. It's a fraud. It'll create mutants. You got chumped. You got signed on to a fraud to restart the economy. I understand why you did it. You believe in science. Except these are bad actors, sir. You believed America could produce a good vaccine. Of course they could have. They didn't want to. They didn't create a vaccine. They created a Frankenstein. And now they've got you signed up to it.  And you are. CNN comes out and says, we need to see Trump come out and take the shots. And within weeks of them saying it over and over again, CNN snaps their fingers. Jeff Zucker snaps his fingers and Trump clicks his heels and hops up there in attention and says, how do you want me to jump, boss? There's Trump in Alabama yesterday. I believe totally in your freedoms. I do. You got to do what you have to do. But I recommend take the vaccines. I did it. It's good. Take the vaccines. But you got, no, that's okay. That's all right. You got your freedoms. But I happen to take the vaccine. If it doesn't work, you'll be the first to know, okay? I'll call up Alabama and say, hey, you know what? But it is working. BS. Trump, that's a lie.  Just two weeks ago, they said it was 65%, then 40%. I saw a number put up on about Pfizer shots, 30% percent, because they just want to tell you it doesn't work. So you're running out of the new damn shot. And then they'll tell you in six months, that one doesn't work. It's called Ropa Dope.  Seriously. Hey, if you don't have the good sense to save yourself your political career, that's okay. At least you're going to get some good Republicans elected.   All right, we'll be right back. Stay with us. This video makes me feel so conflicted because Alex Jones is simultaneously right and wrong about Donald Trump.  But he's wrong about Donald Trump in this instance. Like in this instance, Donald Trump is right about the vaccines. He's correct to encourage his base to get vaccinated. And I don't know why Donald Trump happens to be correct here. He's had a history of being an anti-vaxxer. But I mean, he had COVID-19. Maybe it's the firsthand experience that led him to see how serious, you know, this disease was. Maybe it's because he tries to take credit for the development of the COVID-19 vaccines with Operation Warp Speed, which he does get some credit for that. So you know, he wants to promote it. Or maybe he just doesn't want his base to die if he runs for president in 2024. I mean, that could be part of it, but either way, Alex Jones is right about Trump being dumb, but wrong because Trump is actually right here. What a weird world that we live in right now, where I'm siding with Donald Trump in a spat that he's having with Alex Jones, but still have to concede that Alex Jones is correct to point out that Donald Trump is a dumbass because he is he's pretty vacuous. Again, it's a cult of personality. There's no like policy substance there. But let's let's look at what Alex Jones says. I don't put too much stock into anything he says, so I'm not going to like break this down one by one and fact check him because anything that comes out of Alex Jones' mouth, just assume that it's wrong factually incorrect until like you see evidence to the contrary. This is an individual who told stories on his program about literal fish people tapping on the aquariums, begging for his help. They had tanks, people with gills and little babies. They were in there just gulping, clawing at the sides. You see a turtle at the zoo and it once out, you feel for it. They got humanoids crossed with fish and stuff. I mean, we're screwed people. I mean, do you understand that? And I know I keep obsessing because it's in the news. What they're doing now, they don't show it to you. They just go, yeah, gestating on farms or embryos of humans growing in animals. No, it's beyond that. They take them out, they keep them alive. And notice they go, the only law is you don't put it in a real human woman and don't worry, these creatures don't have any rights because they're not human and they're not animal. They're in that phantom zone. They're in that fifth dimension of the twilight zone. And they're just.  Yes, the planet in our solar system, that not a single human being has ever visited, visited. Apparently, no, no, no, they've already visited Mars. And also, there's this like vast conspiracy of pedophiles on on Mars. OK, OK, so this is Alex Jones, right? So don't take anything that he says seriously. Nonetheless, let's look at some of these things he said. He says the vaccines, he knew that the vaccines wouldn't work and that they're going to create mutants. Hmm, I don't know if. Joe Rogan got this from Alex Jones. But I know a couple of weeks ago, I had to debunk Joe Rogan citing or misciting a vaccine study, making the same claim. So who said it first, Joe Rogan or Alex Jones? It's interesting that they sound relatively similar. Now, if you're a Joe Rogan fan, you should really question supporting him still, if he sounds identical to Alex Jones. The vaccine is going to create mutants. No, stop. There's no evidence that that is the case. And to say that the vaccines wouldn't work, they do work literally. There is real world empirical data that proves the efficacy of these vaccines. They are incredibly effective. So to say that they don't work. I mean, there's an abundance of evidence. And if you don't see it, you're choosing to be ignorant to the evidence that proves that these vaccines are safe and effective. He also says you got signed onto a fraud to restart the economy. So I'm not sure if this is a reference to the great reset conspiracy theory. It seems like the great reset conspiracy theory is a little bit more broad in that it's this belief that COVID-19 is a conspiracy to like reset humanity or something, but COVID-19 is hurting the economy. Do you think that doing lockdowns is good for the economy? I know that we didn't do lockdowns very long in the United States, but in countries like Australia and the UK, they actually did do real lockdowns. Where you couldn't leave because they wanted to contain the spread of the virus. So we live in a global capitalist system, right? So overall, big business and the economy would benefit from us getting rid of the virus. So if you're saying that like the virus is an attempt to restart the economy, you don't even understand the system that you shill for. And I'm assuming that Alex Jones is a capitalist, is he not? So, I mean, at least understand capitalism if you're going to be a capitalist. He says, you believe the America could have produced a good vaccine? Of course they could have, but they didn't want to. They didn't want to create a vaccine. They created a Franken shot. OK, so people are turning into monsters. I mean, I feel like he watched I Am Legend with Will Smith where there was like a cancer vaccine and it led to a zombie apocalypse. Look, I feel like that's his evidence that these vaccines are Franken shots. Like it's Alex Jones. So we have to assume the stupidest thing is what he actually believes. He also says maybe you're not that bright.  True, but for different reasons than the ones you cited. So this is weird. Look, here's the thing. As harmful as Alex Jones is, he still has a lot of people watch him. And when I see these Trump sick of fans, Mike Lindell versus Rick Wiles, Trump, the God of the right, versus Alex Jones, even if Donald Trump doesn't respond, this still is really substantial. Like to see the far right rip each other apart. That really is important. I want to encourage right wing infighting. I want to encourage all of these ghouls get so conspiratorial to where they further factionalize themselves into oblivion because they're bad for society. They're bad for society. They're, you know, keeping all of us in a state of stupidity. They're spreading lies and misinformation and, you know, democracy can't exist under these circumstances for that long. Like we're putting all of our democratic institutions to the test because of these dingbats who believe that the election was stolen and that this virus is a hoax or whatever they believe. So, you know, the more that they rip each other apart, the better. We'll all be.  But let them let them fight.   Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous. Tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous.
