From New York, it's theCUBE. Covering Inforum 2016, brought to you by Inforum. Now, here's your host, Dave Vellante. Welcome back, D. Raj Shah is here. He's the president of AVAP, an Inforum partner. We're going to talk a little bit about partnerships, the ecosystem. D. Raj, welcome to theCUBE. Well, thank you very much, I really appreciate it. So, AVAP, tell us about AVAP. You made a big bet on Infor a while back. We did. Talk about the company. Absolutely, so AVAP's a professional services organization. We're a system integrator, largest system integrator for Infor, serving over 250 customers. But it started as a single individual 10 years ago, and there's two parts to our story. The first part really was between 2006 and 2011, where we started growing and we were looking for identity, and we had multiple businesses. You know, we had Oracle staffing, Lawson, we had a micro-strategy business, and then in December 2011, I still remember listening Charles speak, because Infor had just acquired Lawson, and I had the opportunity to listen to their vision. And there were two things that resonated. One was vertical focus, because the industry really is cluttered with a lot of enterprise software providers that do the one-size-fits-all. And the second was software that is beautiful. You know, we live in the iPhone world. That became obvious in the year 2000. And here we are, 15 years later, there's still forms-based software that dominates the industry. So we made the bet in December that we're going to shut down all the other business, and we're going to focus just on Infor. And that's translated for us significantly well, making us one of the largest system integrator and exhibitor here in Infor today. You know, it's interesting. Usually when you hear a company say, we're going vertical, you think niche. You think small-tam, hard, hard-to-scale. Somehow this company has figured out a model to, you know, right? Because every software company in the world is going out there building platforms, horizontal, publish an API, get a developer, you know, a community going. Infor has taken a different approach. You're saying that appealed to you.  You know, it really started with Charles, you know, his brand and his pedigree of what he'd accomplished. He was the architect at Oracle prior to that, what he did at Morgan Stanley, and then his career in the military. So it really was his vision and having a leader like that. That's what was missing in our ecosystem in Lawson. And then the leadership beyond that, Duncan, Pam, Stefan, and all the sales leader vertically focused that came in. So they not only talk, but they actually put action behind it. You know, as you probably heard every speaker say, they put in like close to $2 billion in software investments. That's a significant amount of money to put in. So talk a little bit about what's going on here at Inforum with AVAP, you got, you know, announcements, customers, what's the word? A lot of things going on.  We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. So in celebration of that, we had a party yesterday for our customers where we had 400 people. The excitement is unparalleled. We have 20 sessions, but the thing to note is we have nine of those sessions with customers where customers are talking about their experiences going into the cloud, how they're taking into the vertical strategy, how they're excited about the next release of financials. So that's where we're really focused. So talk a little bit more about your strategy as an SI because I always joke, the big SIs like to eat at the trough. They look for the big ERP three year projects, right? And so then you have Inforum saying, we're doing all that last mile hard work, right? And we're going to the cloud. So you don't have to worry about infrastructure. Just get it from Amazon, for example. So again, so when you see that, it's a different model than the traditional SI model. You erased it. We did, and I think, thank goodness that they're that big and they think that way because none of them are here. And it gave us the opportunity moving from a small five by 10 booth into one of the biggest spaces here on the floor. So I think that will happen. It's a progression of time. It's been played out in every ERP. You look at Workday or you look at other companies. None of the big SI's moved into it because they want to see the vendor come past that first mile. And that's what everybody's waiting on. And that's where you'll see consolidation happen. And we're betting that that will happen in the next years. And the big guys are going to come in and say, we're going to try to buy you. It's going to happen. You've seen it in other ecosystems. I don't know if you follow the ServiceNow ecosystem. It's similar, right? You just saw CSC and Accenture make big investments. A couple of companies that were there and saw the future and went ahead and built up a really sizable 400 people at your event last night. That's significant. It was a significant event. And one of the other announcements that we just made was we brought in, this is to indicate what Infor is doing and the name that's broadening, right? We went through a growth capital partner that we just brought in. We announced that at the end of May. And a company named New Mainstream Capital, highly reputable, great success track record in the market. And we didn't do that for any other reason, but to bring maturity and to help us increase that growth rate that we're going through. And there are beliefs when they came in and say that we want you to continue this. We believe in Infor. That told us that there is a buzz happening. But that's the first market that hears it. And then you're going to start getting into the secondary, which is a system integrator is a larger strategic. Well, you know, four or five years ago it was like, who's this company? Yeah. You know, the third largest. We get that today. So four or five years from now we'll be sitting and AVAP will be on the other side. And then year and a half ago in New Orleans it was like, wow, they do that? Yeah. That's pretty interesting. And now today you're seeing a real momentum. And energy and a lot of the investments starting to pay off. Now you have a strong business in healthcare. That is correct. So our business started in healthcare because of the loss and background. So today it's about 65% of our revenue, but it's increased dramatically from where it was because there was very point solutions that were ERP. And now it's moved into some clinical data bridges, serving workforce management. So several new bolt-ons that allow us to holistically service our customer base. The customer population is also increasingly changing. So one of the largest project we have going on is at the second largest health system in the country where we're doing integration and consolidation of 208 of their hospital supply chain facility. And they selected INFO as their software partner and AVAP as their system integrator over billion dollar corporations because they saw the partnership that we enjoy with INFO and the investments that we're making in healthcare. Well, the healthcare industry is just going to talk about huge transformations with electronic medical records and meaningful health and just the injection of technology into that business. Talk about a business that's being transformed. It absolutely is and a lot of it was driven by meaningful use zero, meaningful use one and we continue to see that trend and that's where the product investments, healthcare traditionally always had the stigma of being technology laggards, right? Multiple system, green screen, that's what you think.  That's changing. That's really changing based on the investments. Cloud, take cloud as an example. INFO beat every other vendor and every other industry by taking over 50% of their new sales in healthcare into the cloud. That's a staggering fact that the market would never bet on, right? So that's kind of the innovations that are driving it. Oh, cloud, danger, security, blah, blah, blah, but there's no question that cloud is another unstoppable force. What about retail? We're hearing a lot this week about retail, INFO is making big investments, new business unit. What's your play there? You know, absolutely. I mean, that's one of our latest tie up with INFO and I'm personally very excited about retail and a couple of reasons there. One, because in other industries, so we have a large healthcare, our second largest business is our manufacturing and distribution. About a third of our business comes from manufacturing distribution. But all those industries are point solutions and INFO has inherited a lot of the software in those industries. Retail, they're building it, they're transforming. They're taking advantage of big data, mobile analytics and cloud to come up with rewriting software, as you heard Duncan say, after 20 years, the retail's going to get a new software facelift. So that's exciting to us because this is completely changing the game. And we've brought on board very experienced leader to lead our retail team and we're going in, we're starting in predictix as one of the examples. Starmount as another example. A massive industry, we all know and love Amazon and understand well the impact it has had on the retail business. But I mean, we've been saying for a while, now you're going to see the Amazon war room start to take effect, these retail companies that have a presence, that have a physical presence, start using that as a competitive advantage. One of the barriers has been technology and the usability of that technology and that's starting to change. Yeah, it absolutely is. And over a period of time, you see this cycle. So in retail, we're at that cycle, the 20 year cycle and that's going to be a great thing for Infor that nobody else can even play catch up to and we're excited about that. Right, D Raj, we have to leave it there but I'll give you the last word on your organization, your relationship with Infor, Inforum 2016, whatever you like.  You know, the experience, the growth that we've explored is phenomenal, right? Ink Magazine, five years in a row, fastest growing company, Infor's only partner of the year that was voted partner of the year four years in a row. But the one that gives me a tremendous amount of pride, every night when I go to bed is the best places to work. So we've been voted the best places to work three years in a row. We have a tremendous culture and the biggest thing I feel a blessing to me is you have the ability to work with some incredible people. People that are very motivated, hardworking and believe in what Charles was talking just half an hour ago about changing the world and having happy customers. And that's really what AVAP is about. Awesome, D. Raj Shah, thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. Congratulations on all your success. It's a pleasure, thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Okay, keep it right there, buddy. We'll be back to wrap, at Inforum 2016, right after this. I'm the Chief Financial Officer.

Thank you so much for joining me today in this video I'm going to be sharing about moving your lymphatic system with exercise I will specifically share about riding my 6-3-0 bike for exercise and getting out in nature. I love my 6-3-0 bike Watch the video. Let me know what you think and if you're new here welcome.  I'm a certified holistic health coach and the creator of the 90-day walk to fibric freedom group coaching program Where I help women shrink fibrates naturally using food as medicine There's a link down in the description box where you can learn more if you're interested and be sure to subscribe and hit the Notification Bell so you never miss an episode. I buy today Out in nature Can you hear that? Can you hear nature? So I'm here on noose noose River Trail I'm actually taking a break here for a minute because I wanted to talk to you and just talk to you a little bit about Exercise, I know you guys always hear me talk about What to eat to shrink fibrates naturally? But you absolutely need to add exercise to your daily regimen some kind of exercise One of the things that I often tell my clients is that You need to move your length your lymphatic system and the reason that many of us are in the position that we're in with the Fibers is because our lymphatic system is stagnant like not many of us all of us Our lymphatic system is stagnant if you have fibrates is stagnant in some area of your body and the best way To get that lymphatic system moving is by exercising and today. I am riding my bike. Let me see if I can Show you my bike. I have a cruiser I'm riding my bike because I just wanted to get out in nature and see some of beautiful North Carolina before the Summer actually gets started and before you know it. It'll be over Because I can't believe that it's June of 2021 already. It just seemed like it was December of 2020 and I want to get out and enjoy God's country just like I always Recommend that you guys eat God's medicine foods Get out into nature So that you can enjoy God's Beautiful country as well, but let me show you my bike. This is my bike. I absolutely love it and The reason I love it is because it's easy to ride You see the seat here. It's nice and big and comfortable So that it does not hurt my butt I could be riding for three hours and my butt won't hurt That's why I love it so much and also it's a good quality bike It's by 6 3 0 and I got it from Mother's Day last year and the reason I Got it is because the gym's closed and I wanted to get out of the house instead of just doing Exercising the house all the time. I wanted to get out and do some outdoor activity and So I ordered this bike as you guys know When COVID hit everybody bought all the bikes So I was actually able to get this bike last June which I'm grateful for It is one of the best investments. Well, I didn't make the investment my children bought it for me I think I had to add a couple dollars to it because they gave me money towards it, but It was it's like this bike is a great investment and then this year We actually were able to buy my husband a bike. That is the same Bike but for men and we get to ride it together the color is is coral and That's really all the colors that they had available that I liked at the time whether you ride a bike whether you Get on a trampoline whether you walk with your two feet whether you go to the gym whether you do an exercise video Whether you have on an online coach like I do that where I do exercise online Get some exercise Because when you exercise that helps to heal your body You will help your body get rid of toxic waste that is causing fibroids to grow that is causing the heavy bleeding You will get your body in better shape just by getting some exercise and biking is one of those things that you can do If you are having trouble with anemia, so It won't kill you. Hey, I just finished my bike ride and I just realized that Some of you may not even know what the lymphatic system is And if you'd like me to do a detailed video on the lymphatic system and how it relates to fibroids I'd be glad to do that. Just put a comment below But in short the lymphatic system is the body's sewer system the system of the body that excretes waste like cellular waste mainly fluids of the body and The lymphatic system is released through the waste is released through the skin our largest organs through our lungs because we breathe that's a detoxifying organ through our urine through our feces and Most people Who have reproductive issues or humps lumps and bumps on their body like tumors and cysts? Their lymphatic system is stagnant So they need to in order to move the lymphatic system to get all that excess lymph out of your body You you have to move your body because it doesn't have a pump on it to or a way to excrete The waste from your body unless you actually move your body. So moving your body equals moving the lymph and also some of our elimination channels like our bladder our kidneys our colon our Congested so the lymph can't even move out the way it would normally move if our bodies were clean. So Just wanted to give you that tip because I remember I started talking about that and I was like, hmm Some people might not know what that is So I just wanted to give you a tip but if you want to know more about it and how moving the lymph will help you to shrink fibroids Please let me know I'll be glad to share that information with you lots of love Don't forget to subscribe and like the video share the video and I will see you next time lots of love


a big tiddy-gay. Guys, we're in my dive studios. When we filmed Hwaiting on Facebook, I'm back here. I'm back here because Peniel, BM and I are filming a podcast today. We had our first test shoot last week and this is our second time. It's really exciting. I'm not really sure when it's gonna go up, but I will let you guys know. Oh, hi. Hey, are you part of the big tiddy-gay? If you want to be. Can you be a part of it if you have small titties? Hell yeah! Hell yeah! It's not about the size. It's about the heart. Yeah, it's about the tiddy heart. Yeah. Are you recording something? Everything you see. Oh, okay. I'm not going to use it. This one? No. This rug? Break time? Break leather? Cursor and cheese. Oh, I forgot that was her thing. Did they make you do improv? All right. I'm at Radio Now. We recorded three episodes, so that took quite a long time. I'll keep you guys updated with the podcast stuff once I know more details, but please look forward to it. It's 8.30 am and I woke up super early today because I'm going to get my hair done. stylist from Overmars contacted me and asked me if I wanted to get my hair done and I knew about Overmars because a lot of rappers and like R&B artists here in Korea get their hair done there. They do like a lot of experimental hairstyles and do a lot of like colorful hairstyles and I thought yeah why not I'm excited to see what color she thinks will look good on me.  I don't know we'll see I don't know how that's gonna look and I also want to get layers and cut my hair a bit. I'm here. I'm tired. So nice they have their own sink here. I really like the walls. So it's finished. Putting on the robe and ear covers. I've never seen something like this before. Oh they make this. Do they sell it like this? I can put on something that takes out the color of my hair to take out the purple that's kind of left in there. I'm gonna dye my hair this color. I'm kind of nervous about it. Basically like this color.  I'm just gonna keep it the way it is right now and I'm just gonna add some layers. I'm nervous but excited. I just want to like try all the colors. I have snacks here. This is so cute. Happy Moo. Little smiley faces. This is Singaporean. I know it's gonna be good. Let me try it a little later. The bleach at Purple Shampoo and I have to lay here for 15 minutes. I feel like I'm gonna fall asleep because I'm so sleepy. I'm gonna keep on. They got Supreme's chairs. Wow. I'm the only one that can sleep. They styled it in the wet hair look with baby oil. It's kind of oily but wow. I'm at radio now and today is the day that I have recording for the weekend with Alec so I'm gonna try to get his reaction to my hair.  So the sides of my hair are blue, which is a nice little touch to the overall green color. It's so vibrant. I can't get used to it. I feel like I'm wearing a wig. Let's see what his reaction is going to be like. Oh yeah, over on the side. How's that? I did. I just did it. Yeah. Thanks. So I'm back at home now. It is 12 30 a.m. and I've got to start packing. I realized I didn't mention anything about my trip but I'm going to Cheshire tomorrow with four of my girlfriends. The reason why I started packing so late is because I had to finish up working on a vlog and I just uploaded it. So now I gotta start packing. I'll be gone for three nights and four days, so Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. And the downside of this trip is that it'll be raining three days out of the four days we're there. It is monsoon season right now and it's been raining in Seoul for like three days too. Yeah, so that's kind of like so now I just kind of don't know what to pack. But I feel like this small carry-on bag will be enough for four days. Considering the fact that Joan's bringing like all this skincare so we don't have to pack any of that. Probably just like clothes and shoes and personal items. Let's get started with packing.  I do not enjoy it at all. Oh wait, this is a lot smaller than I imagined. Okay, first of all I have this jump fruit from days days that I've been saving to wear to Jeju-do, so I'm going to pack this. But like the temperature isn't even that high. It's like mid 70s. I feel like it'll get really cold at night. Yay, one thing so far. What do I wear tomorrow is the question. It's actually not raining that much in Jeju tomorrow. So I should save the best outfit for tomorrow. And now also I have to take into consideration that my hair is really colorful. So that's going to get in the way of a lot of my outfits too I feel like. I was saving this vintage dress to wear but I feel like it's too much with my hair right now. I also wanted to wear this but I feel like this is too much with my hair too. What do I do? Do I just wear it? Do I just rock it? Too much. I actually got a lot of packing done while I was charging my battery for my camera. So I decided for this trip I'm only going to wear nude or white colors. Just because I just don't know if I can wear any other color on top of this hair right now. I packed my white romper, white linen pants, nude tank top, and that one day's jumpsuit you saw before and tomorrow I'm just going to be wearing my pants with my halter top. Also I packed my probiotics, vitamins and emergency for the five of us. Just because I feel like we're not going to get a lot of sleep and I don't want us to get sick. I also packed another pair of sandals besides the Dr. Martin ones that I'm going to be wearing. I'm not going to bring sneakers for this trip because I honestly don't think we're going to be walking around too much. This whole trip is supposed to be like a healing trip for all of us and we decided that we weren't going to do too much sightseeing. Just a lot of relaxing and eating good food. That's the reason why I'm not bringing my sneakers. I also need to bring them out of there just in case it gets cold at night. I'm just going to bring my black cardigan because you can never go wrong with a black cardigan. I think I'm going to need to wear it on the plane tomorrow so I'm going to set it aside for now. I feel like the rest are just like my chargers and my personal makeup stuff.


Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is a genie in the bottle. As always, adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is a bottle, magnesium deoxyde, 30% hydrogen peroxide, thread, tissue, tape, and a princess, Princess Grace. Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. I'm Grace. And my assistant Grace. And today experiment is a genie in the bottle. And first we need safety goggles. You know where those are? Yeah. All right. Grace is going to get the safety goggles. And after this experiment, we're going to show you how we put together safety goggles. Now we put those on. And now we need a genie bottle. You know where it is? Yeah. All right. You get the genie bottle. And what do we do with the genie bottle? Rub it. Okay. I'm going to rub it and we're going to wish for something really cool. Oh, I know it's wrong. I'm a frog.  The princess has to rub the bottle. Give it a good rub both hands. Now make a wish and pull the top off. It's a genie in the bottle. Just like that. A genie in the bottle. To set up genie in the bottle, you need to put 100 milliliters of 30% hydrogen peroxide. I got it at a pool supply store. This stuff can burn you. The household stuff is 3%. This is 30%. Be very careful putting it in. And once you put this into the bottle, it could be any kind of bottle. I'm using a genie bottle, but it could be a wine bottle. I like to paint it gold to give it to the effect of the genie in the bottle, but it could be any kind of bottle you want. Now I'm taking a regular tissue, a single ply. It just has to be one piece like that. And then you take your magnesium dioxide and you're going to put it in the tissue. So you don't need much size of a pea a little bit more, maybe, but it's not a lot. And once you get that in the tissue, we're going to roll it up so it fits into the bottle. So I'm pretty much just rolling it up into like a cigarette. And then I'm going to tape it so it's long and narrow and it fits down the tube. So I just take a piece of tape and tape it there. This is part of where it kind of becomes a trick, because I'm going to put it down the bottle. I got the hydrogen peroxide in there. I do not want this to hit it. So I measure the thread right before it hits the hydrogen peroxide. And then I'm going to tape that on to the magnesium dioxide right here. And I'm going to place in the bottle, but it won't go all the way down. So my bottle is a little bit thinner. So I'm going to need a skewer to help push it down. Normal wine bottle will just go straight down in. So once you get it in and it's free and you can feel the string might drop, you're going to put the cap on the cork. So make sure you're holding on to that thread like this, because you don't want it to fall all the way in once you feel it's there. Then you're going to put the cork in. And that's your little safety release.  But when I first grab it, I'm holding the thread and it will not fall into the hydrogen peroxide, which will kick off the steam. So it's most important when you want it to drop, you let go of that thread and it will fall in. So the recap is you get the thread in, you get your finger on it. Then you put the cork in, that's going to hold the thread in place. That's holding it right above the hydrogen peroxide. When you're ready to release, like when I had Gracie rub the bottle, I opened it up, I released the thread, and that's when it fell in. And then the reaction occurs. The gene in the bottle is a demonstration that shows decomposition reaction. A decomposition reaction is when a substance is broken up into two or more different substances. In this case, hydrogen peroxide, whose molecule formula is H202, is being broken down into oxygen and water. Hydrogen peroxide is easily decomposed by light. And that's why it's sold in the drug stores in brown bottles. So what we did is to speed up the reaction. The compound we used was magnesium deoxide and it was used as a catalyst. The catalyst provided an alternative way for the reaction that had a lower activation energy and it was used to speed up the length of the chemical reaction. What's cool is this experiment also demonstrates exothermic reaction, which means the hydrogen peroxide decomposes. It also releases heat. Therefore, the bottle will get very hot after the reaction. So make sure you don't hold the bottle too long as you will be feeling it started getting warmer and warmer. And eventually you want to put it down. As you notice, I didn't have Grace hold the bottle in any way or to pour any of the hydrogen peroxide because it can burn you. Thanks for watching. Remember to click thumbs up or genie thumbs up and subscribe. And thanks for watching. Bye.

Hello and welcome to this roundup of some of the new content available on the Coaching Manual this month. We're going to take a look at a variety of new resources that have been made available for our premium members, starting with an in-depth youth development phase article from our Head of Content, Lee Fletcher. In this guide, Lee explores the 1-4-3-1 formation in the attacking phase of the 9v9 game format, discussing its advantages and disadvantages and how coaches can utilise this system in the development of young players. He discusses ways in which the game format and formation can be used to teach players about playing out from the back, creating width from deep positions and also supporting the striker. You can find this article by clicking on the link in the description below. We've also got the latest episode of Coaching Focus to tell you about, the web series that puts you in the dugout. Now, we're well into series 2 of Coaching Focus at this point where you can find all previous episodes on the Coaching Manual with a premium account. In the latest episode of Coaching Focus, we talked to Director of Coaching at Stony Brook Soccer Club, Mark Nash, about a session from Alex Ball about defending outnumbered. One thing Mark notes about the session is the coaching style that Alex demonstrates, particularly his communication with the players and how he asks them for the answers to show that they understand what the session is about. But of course, as with all episodes of Coaching Focus, we invite you to watch the session for yourself, come to your own conclusions and let us know what you think. We've also got the latest League Managers Association Masterclass to tell you about. In the latest installment of the LMA Masterclass series, current SPAL Manager Pep Klotit provides an excellent three-part session focusing on the principles of press, cover and balance. The session is made up of three skills practices, each of which will help coaches to develop their teams covering when defending as a unit. Less attention to detail throughout not only helps one understand the outcome of each practice, but also makes it easier for coaches to deliver the session when it comes to their own practices. Our LMA Masterclass series represents some of the best coaching session content ever made available online anywhere. From David Moyes to Steve McLaren, Renny Mullenstein to Gary Rower, these sessions are a unique insight into the ways some of the biggest names in coaching deliver sessions and communicate with different players. Recorded at the home of England football, St George's Park, these broadcast quality video masterclasses are unmissable content for coaches of all levels. If you have a premium account, you can access the full masterclass series, including the latest one from Pep Klotit, using the link in the description below. That's all for this update, but keep your eyes peeled for more great content being added to the coaching manual every single week. To be the first to access exclusive resources, like the content we've discussed in this video, as well as thousands of pieces of session content including videos, animations, drills, diagrams, infographics, guides and articles, make sure you get yourself a premium account with the coaching manual. When you pay annually, it costs just £5 or $7 a month. The coaching manual, get the knowledge, pass it on, and I'll see you next time. Thank you.


An evening fire at the park theater marquee has temporarily shut down that historic theater in Park Rapids. Haiti Clotter has the story. A trip to the movies usually consists of popcorn and entertainment. But then something happens that's right out of a movie scene. You smell something so you go outside and check it out. Came back in to check on the theater, went up and looked at the marquee and saw that there was smoke coming out of the marquee. Shortly before 7pm the Park Rapids fire department received a report about a marquee on fire in downtown Park Rapids. By then social media was buzzing taking pictures and video of the fire. At that time our people entered the building to seek the source of power to the marquee. They eliminated that source and began extinguishment proceedings. About 35 patrons were in this room watching Dunkirk when staff came in and told them they had to exit. Most of them exited to the front and out to the left away from the marquee. Within an hour the nearly 60 people inside cleared out. Wilson doesn't know the exact amount of damages including smoke damage in the lobby. But crews are already working to make the necessary repairs. Companies to come in clean and sanitize all the smoke from the building. Once we get that completed then we will reopen. A physical and thermal investigation determined the fire didn't extend into the building. Chief Hoffman says there have been fires on Main Street in the past and although this one isn't common it's still a concern. This marquee in my understanding was originally installed at around 1953 so it's considerably old. The fire is definitely related to the marquee itself. The neighborhood has rallied around their beloved Park Theater and are hopeful they can catch a movie on the silver screen soon. It feels great to have the community support. It's been overwhelming.

So for us to post our information from the API, we actually use wpInsertPost which is a wordpress function and all it does is that it inserts a post, it can post all this information that comes usually by default to posts but you can also add your own meta values inside that post. So we have an example here whereby we are getting a post object and then all we are doing is we are inserting it inside that post. So what I'm going to do is just capture this and then I'm going to go back to our outgoing SMS and then I'm going to paste this inside our function that we created and we actually called store inside SMS. So I'll copy this and then I will punch this right here. So I'll save this, I'll add a semicolon and then I'm going to pass in the response here so that it can be used by that function. So we'll have that as an argument and save this. So what I'm going to do is go back to my techie press allow for one more SMS to be sent and when it's sent we shall be able to see the post object that we actually get back in our outgoing SMS. So fast and foremost, I just want to get the response that comes back. So save this here, let's go back, hit our SMS plugin and we'll see that we get information coming back in our body. We have a status, we have a cost right here. Of course the headers give us that it's a status 200 and so we're able to differentiate, we're able to show the different statuses given the different feedbacks from the status code. So we know that while we were sending this data send API we had different pieces of our object being sent to this particular field. So we'll pick the information from here and then we shall add it to this. So what I'm going to do is actually just strip off this JSON encode at this point and what I'm going to do is that I'm going to add it here at the point when we are sending to the body so that I can actually reuse this particular object. So I'll get this little API I am able to get the user data or I'm able to get the message data at this point. So I'll get the data and then that's what I'll be passing to this particular field. Now in our poster we don't have a title we don't have content we don't have the status is published that's okay. We don't need to add an author in the category. We don't need the content. The title will will fabricate our own title but I'm more interested in adding meta keys at this point and at this point we add the meta by adding meta input. This will take in an array. Inside this array you're actually able to add the different meta fields that you do need. So for example I'll add data send API onto that I am going to map the message message data and then onto that I am going to map the number. Now inside this meta out meta input I just need to go back to this file and I'll look up what are we looking for? We are looking for the sender ID number one we are looking for the message status we are looking for the message we are looking for the send numbers. So number one is we are looking for the sender ID and that comes with this meta key so sender ID meta key come back here I'll duplicate this so sender ID meta key what we need to do is actually get the sender ID at this point and add it here. Next is we are going to need the numbers so we are going to get the sender's numbers field so I'll copy this and add it in this meta key and add it in the meta input then I'll duplicate this come back get also the message copy this here and then we'll pick the message from here copy then we'll add the message for the message field and then finally what we are doing is we want to get the status we want to get the status as well so I'll duplicate this and add the status now give or take the status is going to actually we are going to get the status from our own stored status so I'm just going to pass this in inside this field here we are going to pick it from this point when we actually pass in our response in the different fields so I'm going to copy this response so we are going to pass in the response we are going to pass in the status and I also want to pass in the data send API data so I will pass that in as well so that we can tap it we can tap this then from the response we are going to be able to get the response here we are going to get the code for the response and depending on the code that will be the status we shall get our status from that particular point so at this point let me just get the status so the status will be equal to the WP remote retrieve and at this point we are going to get the header or the status so we want to get the code and we shall pass in the response at this point here so if our status at this point is equal to 200 so we start off with 200 is equal to status and we can make this three equal signs then our status will equal to success shall pass in a string of success to show that it actually went through and then if it's anything else then our status is actually going to equal to failed so duplicate this move this down and then I'll call this failed so we know that we are actually going to pass a status from here which is either success or failed so when we pass it in here we are actually working I'll uncomment this when we pass in we need to pass this in in their particular order so when we pass in the status we know that the status will either be failed or it will be success at that point so data send API will give us different information we need then what we need to do with the response here is actually we want to get the body and then get the status if it's okay we need to find the cost I'll comment this out for now then what I'm going to do here is actually get the WP remote retrieve body and I'm going to get the response here so this will give us our results I'm going to JSON decode this and then after JSON decoding our results I'll be able to get the different this is so from the results we'll know we'll get the status whether it's okay and yeah so we're going to get the cost we're also going to get the status so at this point I can actually just get the status by saying result then append this and get status here so we can do more refinements to find out if everything else works out well but we'll just add this as a status so okay or fail will be coming from there so we don't need to do much of this at this point here so I'll just delete this and keep what comes in by default here I'll also remove this point here and then fail it if we have a failure then I'll automatically fail this so that means here at this point I need to return so I'll I just need to return so I'm going to return this and then delete this meaning nothing else will be executed but if everything passes out well we have a status of 200 we should have this showing up here run this function passing this data and then passing the status here and then what I'm going to do is just add another field and then I'll call this SMS cost so we'll have an SMS cost key here and then from the result we shall have cost so meaning come back to our admin fields here and then we shall add also the cost so I can just duplicate this and then I'll I'll change this go back here look at this key copy it come back and change this SMS cost key and then I'll edit this so we have an SMS cost key here same key we shall have here and then I'll just get this also and change this sender ID to SMS cost and save this right here so if we come back to our messages we still also don't have this showing up so we'll have SMS cost and then we shall call this our cost at this point so allow me to just make one SMS send out after saving this and let's see what we actually get so at the end of the day we will have gotten all of this and then passed in we just passing into our post and then we'll see that we actually get our SMS so let me click this we have our SMS showing up and then go to the messages so we're not seeing that here because we forgot one argument here we should actually be post type so we'll add our post type and the post type we're going to add this SMS so I'll save this and the moment of truth hit SMS plug in here see what comes let's check here we'll see we have edit a new post was created which is successful however we did not get our information showing up before we send anything here let me just update let me get an update option so that we don't send so many SMSes we shall later delete that option so SMS result that will be our option and what we're going to do is we're going to save our response so let me just get this right here let me just get this as response terminate it here save it let me get this as our response then I'll save that inside our value and then we shall use that to save our data when we can see what's going on so let me hit that again we have that so let us get our option get option and the option that we're going to get is SMS underscore results and then what we need to do is we've add dump it and save our reload and we have our first value of status here so in this case if we're adding so now we have to always check when we're sending SMSes we actually don't have failures of not having enough money if I JSON decode the response that we have here I should be able to get at least from the response I should be able to get that status which is failed as we publish to our SMS so let me and do this save and then reload this and get failed status when we go to messages I have two messages and we have our status of failed actually can be right there so that's brilliant so what I'm going to do again here is instead of wasting our failed we should be able to add our message here and say for example when this happens when we ping and we have our message here we should be able to add that to our status I'll come back here status and then append using two dots I'll use space in between add a dash and I'm going to get results then I'll add on the message result then I'll add message so save this this is not the best way to do this I should be able to cross check if this actually works out so I'll reload this we have a failed come back check this and see our status of what's happening here now I just need to find out why I'm not getting my data send API message and then getting the sender ID showing up here so let me get this and then I will over down that save it let's go and send so I have my method and then inside have user data and I have message data let me also overdump like sender ID to see what's happening reload and it is now so let me save this reload this is also now so when we dump this we will actually see that this is decoded it's a json encoded I don't know why it's json encoded but let's try to decode it and see if we will save our data so ah the reason we are doing this is we are getting that object wrong in how we send this data so I'm just going to append a few elements here wrap this in a single quotes and do the same for this so wrap that in single quotes and then we should be able to do the same for all the others copy this paste this then just get the number here cut it paste message cut paste and save this the missing piece is actually adding that this is the first array of data so we add zero to this and then we'll add zero to that then we'll take away our dump that we are having here save this come back to our messages let us just delete everything here that's there go back and send so we have a message success when we come back here we have a message click edit we'll see that we have our ID we have a cost we have a message we have the numbers and this is working out brilliantly this is what we needed to do so we can see that our data now actually comes back because we got everything right so from the data that comes from our object up here we just need to pass it into our store inside CPT and then pass it in here get the message but because we know that's the first array that's coming in then we add the zero and then we add the sender ID or the number or the message to actually wrap all of this here and that's why we're getting all this information here now just to make this a lot clean and better for the UI we know that the cost is going to be zero so in the event that we have an empty or null cost we should now start sanitizing this and know that if it's empty or if it is null then we should throw back a zero so we need to add some if statements and let me just get this and wrap it inside a variable so I'll just get a variable called cost here and it's at this point where I'm going to get the cost is equal to this and then wrap here so I know if it is not equal to if it's not equal to null we need to do this in a yoda format so null would be zero if it is not equal to null or if it's not empty or not empty so not empty if that is not empty then we shall get that as a result else then cost will equal to zero as the value so we'll save that we need to just wrap this properly and then yeah terminate this save we cannot use this over and over again so I'm going to copy this then just say cost cost as that and then I'll come back here and say cost is equal to that save so we have it here if it's not null or is not empty sorry if if cost is not null and is not empty then the cost will equal to that however if it is empty or if it is null then the cost will be zero so let's try to do that we also need to check this if this is not empty if this particular field is not empty then we can add that we have a couple of things to check that whether they are empty or so and so we need to check we need to sanitize all this data that's going inside our database so we need to be very clear about how we do this so I'm going to just try one more time to see what's happening go back to our messages check the second message and we'll see now that we have a cost of zero we have our message we have everything working out well and that is what we are looking for so the only thing that we need to do is actually just show these numbers on the admin side and then we'll wrap up this video I'm going to go back to our custom so we're going to use one other filter to add our content in there and it's called the manage and we'll use our post type which is SMS post column and this is a singular so custom column so custom column and this is singular and now in here we're going to add data so take a press add custom column data so I'll copy this and then I'll just start up a function here and then I will add this data from this point so we're going to be looking for the different pieces of data as we've stored them in these different columns we need these columns actually right here so I'm just going to press them here to make it easy so we're going to do a switch statement but first of all this filter alone gives you the columns gives you columns coming in it also gives you the post ID that you do get so I'll just utilize those for now so we're going to a switch statement and we'll start off with switch and we're going to switch for each column that we're getting so this is column not to not to to confuse it's just singular columns so we'll do a case and we'll say for the case where we are looking at the sender ID here all we need to do is we're going to come and we're going to actually echo and what we're going to echo is similarly what we've been doing here so we're going to get the post meta sender ID true and I realize in these points we did not put semicolons which is very bad PHP but we are getting away with it because it was just one line of code so making that correction here so I'm going to come and echo this and terminate then I need to break this because I'm done record and I need to break so I'm done for the sender ID so for example let me close this let me save that let's have a look at what's happening here and we have some issues showing up because I passed the wrong post ID so I need to copy this paste this here the reason why this is also broken is because I did not pass a priority and also talk about the two and also don't talk about the two arguments that I'm actually passing inside this function so let me save this and then when I reload this you'll actually see that we have a sukuma coming from our ID here so let's add all the other pieces and see how that evolves so we just need to duplicate this and then we shall get the different pieces so send paste here send number count we shall have to count the numbers are in there status SMS status shall add the status cost shall add the cost in here so just need to get the other pieces send numbers send numbers field is going to help us with our count shall write a function for that we have the message field come back here paste it in our message and then we have the send ID cost get the cost counted for us here and then we just need to get the status also so get the status and add it here so save this after cleaning this out save this and reload and we have our values showing up here with this at hand let me just add some credit to my account and let's try a successful message let's try this one more time reload and then let's hit plugin get a response that's okay let's go back to our messages we see that we have okay as a message and our phone just buzzed with our message we can get it so this is how this looks like we have a couple of things to do in our code to make it cleaner to sanitize it because all this data is going inside our database we can make this also look just a little bit nice wrap it with a span and add a little green color to it make this with a fail maybe pink or red color just to distinguish it to show what's happening so this is how we are doing this and how we are showing this inside our custom admin I hope this is working out as you thought it would let me know in the comments what you think about how we are heading how we are doing this are we doing the right approach should we just throw all this content into a custom database or should we keep this as it is for now this is going to help us to do all of this but I'm going to set up and show another admin side whereby we can actually just create our SMS and type inside our boxes verify that we have enough data because our database right now actually knows how much we have on our account to be able to allow us to send a particular number of messages so in the next video we'll be looking at the number count we'll be looking at the admin side to make sure that we are doing everything correctly thank you for watching the video enjoy your coding


Good morning, sir. Do you have confidence in the PM? Here we are, here's your have to come in now. A French star, thank you. How's the boat? How's the boat this time, please? How's the boat this time, please? How's the boat? That was good, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. He's riding hard.


Terima kasih, Pn. Tang. Terima kasih dan terimakasih untuk dapat duduk di sini. Semoga kita dapat berbincang dengan anda. Semua ini telah dibuat. Kami sepatutnya berbincang. Saya berkongsi beberapa kisah saya. Kamu berkongsi beberapa kisah saya. Tetapi lebih saya melakukan perniagaan kepada anda, lebih saya rasa saya akan suka mengambil sedikit lebih banyak kembali. Dan seperti sangat berkongsi dan menjelaskan anda dan kisah anda dalam perjalanan anda. Dan di sini dan di sini saya akan menjelaskan sedikit. Dan saya juga mahu berkongsi beberapa kisah saya di dalam perniagaan yang saya telah melakukan. Saya bermakna seperti hanya melihat video anda, mencari artikel tentang anda. Saya mahu seperti, membuat perniagaan dengan cepat tentang saya. Ini adalah sebuah video yang terbesar untuk kami. Tetapi saya mahu dapat menjelaskan perniagaan seperti perniagaan saya untuk anda dan perniagaan yang saya suka tentang anda. Dan kemudian, saya akan menjelaskan anda dengan lebih banyak pun yang telah digelaskan. Kemudian saya akan membeli ke dalam pertanyaannya yang Michael yang saya beritahu. Jika anda tidak tanya, jika suara itu terbaik untuk anda, saya fikir akan akan lucu. Terima kasih. Apa-apa saja perkara yang anda teriakkan, ada apa-apa kisah yang anda ada dengan mengapa perniagaan ini akan terjadi atau sebagainya? Well, first of all, I thank you for your consent for this to be a not internal only conversation where I'll publish my side of video but your side of audio as well to the Creative Commons attribution because I do believe that this is more than just a dialogue. I think this is the beginning for people to have a wider understanding appreciation of the areas of common interest, namely the pride and LGBTIQA plus communities current take on not just the geopolitical and the technical but also like socially how we form solidarity across jurisdictions. So I hope that with the public launch, the Creative Commons attribution of this video, I look forward to more remixing and more conversations based on the topics that we explore today. Okay, totally unrelated perspectives may be emerge. For example, I had a very serious interview about like digital democracy and so on, but there was a rap band in Japan called Dos Monos that just took bits and pieces from that interview and remix into a hit rap song, a hip hop song, and that brought the conversation into a very different perspective, a very different audience. Now there's no guarantee that our conversation will be made into a hip hop song, but you know, maybe some other art forms. Yeah, hopefully if they do make a hip hop song, they use your parts and not mine. So yep, we'll see, we'll see. Karen, I think you could be a really good rap star. I know. I don't know about that. Alright, I don't have anything else. Okay, maybe we'll give this a go. We'll see how this goes and then like we, since it's all a recording, we can always pause and retake. Just give me a few seconds. So what's going to happen is our countdown from 5. Karen, you just start with your intro. And then just what we like to do is we normally have the conversation be as natural as possible. We'll just let it flow. If there's any additional questions or things that we want to talk about, we can do it at the end. Otherwise, we'll just let the conversation be, just let it flow as naturally as possible. Can do. Oh, sorry, my hair is not as medium as this. I always like to stand up on its own. I'm sorry. It's fine. It's very independent. Yes, independent. Minister Teng, are you in Taiwan today? Ya. I'm my jet lag brain is in Italy, but physically I'm in Taipei. I'm the second day of my currency return. Oh, dear. Thank you for making time for this. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm the last batch to do seven days. Everyone else after this week do three days. Ah, and when can visitors come because I'm dying to go to Taiwan. If you're okay with three days, you can come right now. If you want to do zero days, maybe I don't know August. Okay, great. Thank you for that. I'll come drop in maybe your weekly chat. Oh, yeah, go ahead. Social Innovation Lab, that's right. Yes. Okay, are we ready? Can we roll TDR and can we roll the cam in the studio? Thank you. Micah, I'm just going to keep you silent. At the point where we cut our unmute you. Let me just switch over to Karen solo frame first. Okay, Karen ready. Let's go for the first take. Don't worry if we need to retake, just take a pause and then we start from the where we maybe the top of the paragraph. Okay, I'll do a quick introduction about myself. Let's just a very quick like two lines and then I'll go into the the bit about Minister Tang. Also feel free to just call me Audrey. There's no need for the right honourable and everything. Just Audrey. Okay. Okay, ready? Let's go for the first take. In five, four, three, two, one. Hi everyone, I'm Karen Teo and as you know, I head up the global business group with the scale team and the global co-exec sponsor for Pride Ed. I am very excited to be here today to talk to Minister Audrey Tang. Now it takes very little to find out a lot about Minister Tang online. I've taken the liberty to put together a few of my favourite discoveries of Audrey. But let me start with pertinent information first. Audrey Tang, if you didn't know, is the digital minister of Taiwan. The first digital minister and as the first and youngest digital minister of Taiwan at age 35, Audrey wrote the JD for that position in the form of a poem to make it relatable and to make it understandable for the general public. Audrey is probably one of most articulate and fun speakers to listen to in the space of public policy, governance and tech for all. In my research, I found that my favourite strategies of Audrey so far is number one, humour over rumour during the pandemic to combat both misinformation and the management of the virus. And Gov Zero, a social innovation initiative to drive government tech improvements. I'm sure we'll hear more from Audrey as we continue talking to her. Not surprising, Audrey, that you've made the list of top 100 global thinkers in 2019. All in all, in my research and observation, Audrey and Audrey's intellect is full of fun surprises and I look forward to learning more about the person behind all this impact and intellect. Audrey, over to you. Hello, Karen, and really happy to be part of Pride Connections. I'm really happy to share my personal journey leading up to the moment. One of my most formative moments occurred when I was four years old, one of my earliest memories. You see, I was born with a heart defect and I overheard the surgeons, my doctors, telling my parents that this kid, that's me, had to live to, I don't know, how many years old in order to get the heart surgery that I need, but the chance, or so the doctor estimates, is just 50-50. Now, since that's my formative memory, I spend the next eight years until I actually got a heart surgery when I was 12 in a kind of shirt in the box. That is to say going to sleep every night without knowing whether I can wake up or not. And that accrued in me a very different world perspective. Basically, I'm motivated to publish before I perish, still to this day. I check every night before I go to sleep whether I've already published everything I can into creative commons for the video recordings and interviews like this one. I ask everything to be in the commons right away instead of having to wait for 70 or 80 years after I pass away and so on because I understand there really is nothing to hold and there is everything to share. So I'm sure that my commitment to radical transparency, free software, civic participation and so on all flew from this very simple idea that someone else can continue and just say vehicle of the kind of very transient vehicle of the knowledge, of the fun, of the social solidarity and so on. It's not about me holding anything but rather me sharing what I have to share. So looking forward to today's sharing. Yes, I'm sure we will hear a lot from you and a lot of your thoughts and sharing and I agree you basically embody the whole sense of living every day like it's your last and that's something that many of us fail to do for ourselves and for society but thanks for that reminder and it's definitely giving me a different insight into you and the way you are today so that's helpful. But let me start since we are talking about how what you went through as a child let me keep us in that early part of your life. Many of us in our pride community at Metta really want to know even more about you. I read that you left school at 14 and then you started your own company in the Silicon Valley a few years later and then you didn't look back. So beyond the age of 12 tell us more about your youth and how it led to who and where you are today. Anyone who inspired you when you were young and how did they do that? Sorry, that was three questions in one but I want to pack as many as possible. Yeah, I attended three kindergarten, six primary schools and just one year of middle school before dropping out so that's ten schools for ten years. I've never had a chance to do what we call a summer work because I'm always switching schools in the summer. So I think this instilled in me a very different pattern a different social pattern in that the physical seems to be very transient, impermanent for me but the virtual is actually more real than real. One of my earliest moments is encountering the idea of programming when I was eight years old. I think it was because two of my uncles worked in information industry one in Acery Computer one in the Institute of Information Industry in Taiwan and they have in our bookshelf lots of programming books. Now I learned about programming languages I think it was first logo and basic and then I didn't have a personal computer that was 1989 so I just drew on paper using a pen to draw keyboard and a pencil to draw the cursor and every day I wake up and erase that pencil mark and type in I think randomized time CLS or something and then just erase the pencil and I think this taught me really computational thinking and programming as a form of an instrument even before my parents finally gave in and just got me some personal computer hours afterwards so this really showed to me that computing as a way of thinking is independent of any particular hardware and it is just a way to kind of outsource part of the thinking part of our brain the automatic part into the machines and then we can focus on the creative and co-creative parts now after I got a personal computer it became my hobby to play some of the educational games available in the demos in the Guanghua market but I didn't purchase any of those commercial software rather I just play it when I visit and then I go back and reverse engineer not really a clean room implement the games so I made a lot of interactive games and those to entertain myself but also to just show my cousins my brother and so on how it is possible to learn about very advanced mathematical concepts in a very gradual way with a tireless teacher that is to say the computer program playing the role of a kind of ambient teacher so pedagogy has always been my inspiration and I think of computer programming and social applications oh, that's a for a young child that thinking is fascinating you know most kids they see something they want something and then they're like ah I don't have it I'll do something else but you actually created your own computer with a piece of paper drew and then reiterated all that but when you did that when you created this paper computer until you finally got a computer what was going through your head did you think that you were playing and it was an imagination or were you actually thinking this is kind of planning for when I actually have that piece of hardware what was going through your young mind probably at the same time I was learning piano but I didn't have regular access to keyboard until a while afterward so to me this is a lot like my piano classes where I study the very abstract notes and then simulate the playing but without actually a piano but by the time I actually got into I think it was weekly my piano classes I get to practice what I have already practiced rather silently of course again after a while we've got piano in our home but I think the point I'm making is that I see programming as a kind of performance that has two parts one is the abstract part that's the notes and the interactive part that's the actual melody and the melody shapes people's interactions in a way that may be pro-social or anti-social but it's the notes, the abstract part that interests me but I don't like mathematics but I don't like math and before I got computer and computer programming I thought to study advanced mathematics required during the learning process do a lot of math and I really don't like that but it turns out computer is really good at symbolic processing so as long as as soon as I get the concept right the technical part, the mechanical part can be taken care of in a much more enjoyable world of mathematics not just math that's calculations I think that's fantastic it's like even the way you run the digital ministry at this point it is you are owning I've seen an interview where you say if you're bandwidth if your internet access is not strong enough that's on me at the same time you open it up to everybody to contribute to it what are some of the core values driven you to take taking the kind of decisions that you take and the choices that you make or even the people you keep around you and the way you work I think really the earliest memory I have of participating in the internet was reading about the earlier internet documents the internet drafts the request for comments that talks about the philosophy of the internet was 1993 I was 12 years old and then I remember very clearly Postel's law from John Postel that says the way to build a robust network in communication is to be conservative in what you do but be liberal in what you accept it's later being referred as the Postel's law the robustness principle I really had a lasting impression on me because I tried to apply it socially as well as you probably have heard I've described myself as sort of a conservative in a sense that I respect the traditions and in Taiwan we've got 20 national languages more than half of which indigenous always their traditions and I don't like the idea of a simple progress in one of the 20 directions to decimate to set back the other 19 traditions I want to feel that I can take all the sides find the common ground and deliver innovations that works together for everyone or at least that everyone can live with and that comes from the early internet protocol philosophy of being very liberal in what I accept that's cool and my work today is we manage like a skilled business which means we manage businesses of all sizes there are some really big ones and there's some like just starting and we're also trying constantly to create processes and programs so that we can add value to all of these different businesses rather than trying to just do one for just the big or the small or the middle size and I do think that understanding this actually comes from from a business standpoint you know we're driven by things like cost and efficiencies of resources so it kind of makes sense but from living as a human being trying to think about how to bring create impact that benefits everybody all the different identities around you I think that can somehow be more challenging I've also seen that you've talked about how your non-binary identity has allowed you to see more perspectives. There's this one quote that maybe you don't mind explaining the quote, we don't think that there's half of the world that's different from us I don't know whether you remember this but it definitely resonated can you explain that a little bit and tell us how the experience of living through can you see this multiple perspectives? Ya, I don't see that myself living through different identities really what I've always pictured in my mind is just a continuous experience now when I say be liberal in what I accept, I don't just mean in a tolerating sense I mean actually if I see someone a stakeholder in a multi stakeholder conversation talking from a place that I just totally don't comprehend so that I cannot even accept mentally what they're saying I always think it's my fault it's on me to spend some time on an ethnographic really hanging out with that group of people until I can sincerely argue their case but I wouldn't say I switched to a different identity during that that would sound very strange but I would say that I joined in their experiences so that there's one more point in common that I can relate to or to build empathy so instead of saying that I identify as this and then I identify as that I usually say I had this experience when I was 20 or I had another experience when I was 25 so you very deliberately create opportunity for these different experiences to in order to create that empathy and understanding Yes, I don't have a fixed label of myself is what I'm saying Yes, I understand I'm very cerebral and also very emotional desire to connect and build the empathy is hard Do you have any advice for people to build those two muscles like you have Ya, I think always start from a place of humor, of fun that relieves the tension and also creates memorable points of reference I always like to say that in April 2020, when a young boy caught the toll free number 1922 of our country epidemic line saying that I'm a young boy you're rationing your mask pink one side, wear pink to school all the boys in my class have navy blue mask the very next day on the daily 2pm conference all the medical officers including the minister Chen Shizhong war pink and Chen Shizhong the minister even said that pink panther was his childhood hero and so the boy became the most hit boy all the fashion brands turned pink for a couple of weeks after that minister Chen became a little bit more transgender just that moment just that 2pm and it's not a huge thing it's not like he thoroughly cross-dress but like him wearing the pink mask saying pink panther much hero really cements a cultural moment in the Taiwanese population and that allowed us to then see mask as something that is a point of pride a point of obeying something of compliance of state power state capacity rather it became a symbol of civic capacity and self expression so I made a point of wearing rainbow mask for quite a while after that wow thank you that's awesome that's such a great story and look obviously all the stories that you shared so far shows how important it is in the work that you do and the work of any public servant or even someone in tech as well with you how do you think and that's why I ask for your advice how do you think your own lived experience has been an asset to developing empathy and developing it constantly any thoughts there? yeah 2 broad brushes of thoughts one is that I'm non binary not just in gender but rather in everything so people know when I became digital master in 2016 that I not just wrote who or not applicable to the gender field in the HR form but I also wrote the same word not applicable to the party affiliation world so people do not see me as part of the ruling party part of the opposition policy or things like that I'm like no matter which party you have I'm happy to stand by you and argue from your point of view to take all the sides as it were of course I would officially endorse a party later on can't stop this party which is a joke party created by YouTubers for pedagogical purposes disbanded a year after but again that puts the humor the shared experience point of reference that dissolves a lot of tensions toward party polarization from outreach into co-creation so that's the first thing it's about being non binary in everything the second about building empathy is simply that people can't be trollish especially on some antisocial social media so no like people can very easily start flam was and so on and I developed a habit of what I call troll hugging basically I would look for personal attacks toward me and on Facebook in particular in the mobile interface there's this latest search API that very easily let me see what latest personal interactions that people have toward me so I can see basically everything that mentions me like in three different languages my name and then if there's of course something constructive I reply and we do co-creation but even when there's pretty toxic personal attacks instead of just reporting it I would look at those 100 words see maybe 4 or 5 words which that can be construed as constructive and then I just ignore everything else and then just focus on the 4 or 5 things that can be taken a little bit out of context to mean something authentic something sincere and then I just reply either direct message or publicly and add that person as a friend and then we start to develop this camaraderie it's both pedagogical in showing everyone it's only the constructive part that get any attention at all but also it's generally like hugging a troll people troll mostly because they feel a kind of frustration that their gripes are not being addressed by the powers that they but when I just focus my attention on the part that are authentic they become very willing to share authentic experiences and many of them actually visit the social innovation lab and we become pretty good acquaintances that's pretty amazing I don't think it's in our in our guidelines if you're trolled online what you do is try to hug the troll that's a really interesting way of addressing people who may not be on the same page as you or are really just there trying to yank your chain a little bit from like trolling online wise people sometimes view trolling as bullying as well other than in the online space for me growing up in its different forms has taken place before I was never like the most popular person in school or the most beautiful or the fastest, strongest etc I've experienced bullying to some extent what about you just this trolling just makes me wonder if you have how did you deal with bullies in your past I think right after I discovered personal computers when I was 8 years old I did get some bullying at school and that was the time when I'm in the gifted class when I was in the second grade and the person that placed in the ranks in terms of written exams always bullied me sometime quite viciously because that if I had died then he would be the first place end of quote so this a pretty intense individual to individual competition going on so I did actually quit school for a couple months on the second semester when I was 8 so he actually became the first in class but in absolute terms that really didn't do him any good but I relatively did improve his standing in family but in all honesty I didn't focus on kind of revenge or anything I spent most of my time reading books from Satya from Piaget, Montessori and so on and I learned about child psychology to learn about how the social structural individual to individual competition and how it shapes a young person's mind because in my mind if I retaliate or if I try to out him as the bully that doesn't solve the structural issue because I may pass away any day than the next class one year younger and the same structure may repeat because this is after all not about the bully or the bully this is about the educational culture at a time in Taiwan after I figured that out and decided that the only way to resolve this is to get the young children each one their own PBL purpose or project based learning so that everyone can be the first in their end of us so that's when I became really interested in pedagogy in educational theory which would also affect my work later on to actually reshape the curriculum of Taiwan circa 2015-16 so that actually this current generation of children do not suffer found the same institutional structural abuse that I used to suffer what are the results like today? it's much better yes yes, definitely Taiwan now is the most vibrant in Asia in terms of alternative experimental education up to 10% of schools can be schools in a very liberal sense like homeschool or group school institutional school that's not following the curriculum but at the same time even for institutional education we've incorporated the same idea of autonomous interaction common good so that people who are 8 years old now do get to choose their own directions and become much more liberal I guess in what they accept and there's far less individual to individual competitions now which is a drastic change actually from our previous East Asian written exam cram based education way so I think if I had not myself experienced that sort of bullying I would not able to contribute meaningfully to the education reforms and very thankful unbelievable that you even as a young person as a young child the instinct is not to fight, the instinct is to let me go and read about this and then let me figure out how to fix this structural problem I really don't think that anyone else out there works like you, things like you functions like you in fact everybody's kind of everyone feels that they are flawed to some extent and I'm sure you with all your broad reading and psychology and understanding of people one of the biggest things that drives behaviour or harm to oneself or to society or to someone else is this sense of insecurity or pain how do you how do you especially in the LGBTQI community, I see a lot of that this inability to embrace oneself and to always authentic what is your advice for the community in this situation in a space like this but I think the safe space that I found in first computer programming and then in the internet society internet culture really is the anchor that kept me first sane and then later on productive because as I mentioned the surrounding environment changes literally every year I do not have a good social anchor on which to build my security my psychological security profile but rather because I understand that online if I publish anything it doesn't go away even if I move to a very different city as long as I remember my passwords I can always just log in back to my internet account and then follow on the same mailing list and so on actually if I don't say I'm just 14 years old most of the researchers I work with at that time just assume I may fellow PhD student so really there's almost no discrimination on the early internet because people were at that time discovering this new thing called a web called a preprint server and so on they're far more interested in actually publishing and doing something together than discriminating against each other so I think I was blessed to engage the early 90s internet culture at that point in life so that I can feel anchored in the safe space we've seen LGBTIQA plus communities anchoring themselves on the internet forums even on the shared realities the so called metaverse that people enjoy to get but I think even in the tech space the only way that I experience in the early 90s this speaks to the same spirit of a safe space independent of the social relationship in the analog world what do you think we can do as you know meta once it's very invested in being one of the many companies out there in building for the metaverse and one of the things that we talked about incessantly is about making sure that we build access for everybody for community and part of it is I'm just wondering as LGBTQI A plus people how do we play a part in building the metaverse so that we can continue to be a place of diversity and inclusion I think it's at the end of the day just to empower people closest to the pain so they can shape their own social norms my earliest social VR experience was in high fidelity I was in Paris and talking to a bunch of middle school and high school students in Taiwan and we're all just wearing these HTC 5 thing in this metaverse but my avatar is deliberately shaped to be the same height as the young children so they don't have to look up to me but rather can relate to me in the kind of playgrounds that we commonly share and it's very important that it's just me and them and our surroundings that get to decide which may or may not make sense to anybody else just like posting and recording a podcast and listening to a podcast can be on very different platforms and it's all decided by the people who have something to say and something to listen this end to end innovation principle I think is very important going forward now I'm not pretending that metaverse can be solved by a simple protocol RSS that I worked on that enable the podcast ecosystem but we need to remember that the internet was shaped like this that end to end innovation really makes sense when the persons in the safes are the only ones that has the final say about rules and interactions that makes sense idealistic makes a lot of sense embrace that and build that future where we can continue to have diversity and inclusion in that space I also want to call out something that I read an article recently about you and you were quoting Anthem the Leonard Cohen song and the lyric is really very beautiful song the way it's written the poetry almost there is a crack in everything do you mind telling us more about what this speaks to perhaps in your opinion to people in our families our communities and our companies and I think also many in Taiwan and around the world too the verse that goes before that was ring the bells that still can ring and forget your perfect offering and then there's a crack in everything and that's how the light gets in that was the verse that cured me of perfectionism I used to be very perfectionist I don't want to publish anything before I polish it but I also am compelled to publish before I sleep and the end result is that I publish in like very fine fragments but the problem of very fine fragments like small haiku and poetry is that really there's very little or others to do you can retweet that or say like but if it's short and pretty complete it's not a building block on the other hand if I just publish a stream of consciousness that has a lot of wrinkles a lot of places that I haven't thought through it may look not perfect but it actually is the beginning of a conversation and that's how the light gets in so I encountered that verse of Lena Cohen translated that to Mandarin and it's been my emotional ever since to remind myself that maybe the best way to contribute to the world is not to publish things that are perfect but to deliberately publish working progress in a way that elicits conversations but also trolling but as fine also hugging the trolling that's so aligned with we think about social innovation and social technologies here at Metta you know many people around the world look to you as an inspiration and as a role model I think a lot of people want to see someone who looks like them, identifies like them in a position of power and influence how do you feel about that and any last words of advice and encouragement to the community at large iya so you mentioned briefly my poetic description I would like to recite that because really I think that's us in the technology world it's very easy for us to focus on the technology and then asking the society to adapt to technology while of course all the technology that got real adoption is not the disruptive ones but rather the ones that fits the norms empowers the local norms so my description goes like this when we see internet of things let's make it an internet of beings when we see virtual reality let's make it a shared reality when we see machine learning let's make it collaborative when we see user experience let's make it about human experience whenever we hear that singularity is near always remember plurality is here so yeah the plurality is here that's my word we don't need to chase the singularity we need to embrace the plurality it's brilliant thank you i still have like a million questions but we'll save that for another time thank you so much it was really great talk with you and i love the old connection plurality peace
