We are a family-owned company that's been born and raised here in Springfield, Massachusetts. We've been here for about 34 years. We had some parents that really instilled some incredible work ethic in us, and literally our motto was the only place the success comes before work is in the dictionary. So we had some great work ethic, which was great. Our vehicle within that work ethic was obviously the painting company that my father had started, so that was the direction that I decided to go in with him, and it's been a very, very incredible journey. Up to getting the MGM job, we were, like I said, cruising pretty well, but this has absolutely changed the financial fabric of our family tree. I can also pretty much thank you guys, the Game and Commission in particular. I consider you guys kind of pioneers, to be honest with you, because we've been in the construction realm for a long time, and I've never seen a site with this amount of diversity and inclusion, with this amount of females on it, and you can pretty much talk to anyone on site that says the same thing. I think, you know, honestly, this is a pioneering type of thing that you guys did, and hopefully, hopefully you guys have set a precedent that will be carried on throughout this state, continuous on multiple jobs, because I think it's going to really, really even out the playing field for a lot of people, and really put a lot of families in a completely different and unique situation. I really wish that this could be ran, you know, this exactly what happened here could happen across the nation. I think it would make the nation a really better place, and definitely has already made Springfield and Western Mass a better face, and just predicated off what you guys have done.  The story that you tell, I encourage you to continue telling it to others, like the ones you mentioned, the kids who may not consider a career in the trades or who may not see because it's a short-term commitment that can be grueling in terms of working and going to school at the same time. Just seeing what could be at the end of that road, if you will, I encourage you to do that because you speak to it very well.


I assumed there would be cheers, but that was a long ovation. This makes sense. You've got to have respect for this guy. He's arguably the greatest, not even arguably, he's the greatest Portland Trailblazer of all time, the time he spent there, everything he's done in that community, the big shots he's made, that he put on for this city.  And I can see him at some point going back there and retiring there and, you know, having his jersey up in the rafters one day. But it also makes it easy when his first game back and the trade, when he got traded, his team is going now through a rebuilding process, right? Like now Kevin Durant going back to Brooklyn, it's in the different conferences, it's a bad team. When I left Houston, went to Dallas, I remember I had to compete with those guys. It was a hard game. It was like an intense game. They ended up losing this game, but it was a big difference of that first game back, knowing you're basically playing against a tanking team in the future of that franchise is kind of rebuilding since you left. So I think that helps with his departure. It's not like he's got a battle against this team in the postseason coming up, you know what I mean?


Okay, we'll just pray and start. Father God, we just want to thank you for this day, Lord. Even as we come to your presence, Lord, we are humbled by your Lord's awesome power and wisdom and beauty and holiness, Lord. Father God, as we come, we realize, Lord, Lord, our own frailty, but Lord, we stand in awe of your infinite Lord power and wisdom. And Lord, we thank you for making us who we are. Lord, we thank you for drawing us and to yourself with your amazing love. And we thank you for making a way for us to come to your presence, Lord, without any hindrances, Lord. And so, God, we just want to thank you. We thank you that there's no limitation, there's no hindrance to come to you, Father God. And we thank you that you called us to come with boldness and confidence and courage, and because of your grace and mercy. And in order to receive grace and mercy every day, we can do that, Lord. Thank you for this awesome privilege. Yes, Lord, we stand in awe of you. And this morning, God, we just commit this entire day into your mighty hands, God, entire day of learning and receiving. And, sort of, God, we pray that you would breathe life, Father God, over every area of our lives, Master. The things that seem God, like weaknesses, I pray that your strength will overshadow it, overwhelm it. Lord, things that seem to be very stubborn, Lord, I pray that your power, your unanimous power will, Lord, just unearth that, Lord, take that away, Father God, and weed it away, Lord. I just pray that you would transform us. And, like, even as you said, Lord, that you would prune us, Lord, so that we would be even more fruitful, Father God. We trust you, Lord, and so we yield ourselves into your mighty hands, God. We thank you. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Okay, so let's start from where we left off last class. We finished just one second. So, yeah, we were looking at chapter four, right? Chapter four, and then we went all the way to chapter four and verse 16, right? Verse 16. Okay, so, yeah, I just want to know if there's any questions, anything, you know, feel free to ask, feel free to post on the chat. So, if there's any doubt at all, let's, you know, clarify it and then move forward, right? Okay. Okay. So, today we'll continue with, just to review, you know, like Paul's chapter four, verse one, on words Paul says, he refers to himself as a prisoner of the Lord, and he's, you know, very strongly urging the church, the efficient church, the believers there, to walk worthy of the Lord, to walk in a manner that's appropriate of the calling, you know, like, so he's saying, you know, walk in an appropriate way, like how we would, you know, for a certain occasion, like we would dress up in a certain way, in the appropriate manner, right? If it's a, let's say if it's a wedding, we won't go very casually dressed, we won't warehouse what you would normally wear, clothes that you would wear to, you know, to sleep at home. We would not wear that clothes, right? So, it will, we will be attired or dressed up suitably, appropriately.  Because, and then he goes on to explain how we can walk in that appropriate manner. So this is the, so he's explaining that, you know, lowliness, gentleness, long suffering or patience, and bearing with one another. Now, this is the appropriate manner or this is the worthy a way, a walk in which we can walk worthy of the calling. This is what he's asked, and endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. So, to be at peace with one another, that supernatural peace which God has given us, to be able to put it on display, to be able to extend it to one another, and endeavoring, meaning you make every attempt, make every attempt, make an effort. It requires effort in order to maintain that oneness and unity. And then he goes on to talk about what is common. There's one body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God, father of all. So these are all, you know, these are all common things. In the sense, see, you see, whatever is eternal, right, whatever is, you know, of eternal value, this is it. These are things that, you know, that's these are eternal. It's established for eternity, that there is one body and one spirit and so on. So he's saying, okay, this is what the truth is. This is what is of eternal value. So, you know, go by that, right? So this is something that is common. There's one God, one father, one father, and he's above all, he's through all and in you all. So, you know, no matter what other differences might be, like in terms of nationality, language, background, education, whatever it is, these are things that are common. So let that not divide you, let this actually unite you. So you make every attempt knowing that, you know, same God, you worship the same Lord, the other one, other person, other believer also worships. Make every attempt to keep that a bond of unity, in the bond of peace, right? And then from seven onwards, we saw that how we have been graced with spiritual gifts, and the Lord Jesus, he ascended in order to give us these gifts, ascended into heaven, the gifts of the Spirit, because he said that he needs to go to the Father, when he goes to the Father, he will send the Spirit, send the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit came and dwelt in us, and all these gifts are the manifestation of the Spirit or the display of the Spirit, right? So, and then he goes on to say, you know, the one who ascended also descended, like he went to Hades, and then he talks about how he descended, and then he went above, that he might fill all things, and he gave some, okay, now verse seven, now this is something which is important, that we need to understand and grasp. In verse seven, we see to each one grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. So, he's talking about something that is common to all, or to all of us, we have these gifts of the Spirit, and it's there in a measure, right? So it's there in a measure, and we can grow in it, we can grow in this grace, we can grow in this gifting, we can grow in this empowering, as long as we, you know, exercise it, put it to good use, minister faithfully, steward it well. Now, in verse 11, he says, and he himself gave some, okay, now this is not each one, but he gave some, so it is something that he desires, or he has already decided, and he wills that some will be apostles, some will be prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, so he himself gave some to be, you know, and then this is what we call as a five-fold ministry, you know, because there are five distinct ministerial gifts, right? And so, evangelists and pastors and teachers and prophets and apostles, now verse 12 talks about why the purpose, right, the purpose for these, for which he has actually called some to be this, which is for the equipping of the saints, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, so the saints to be equipped to minister, every believer to be equipped for the minister, so equipped to minister, so which goes without saying that the apostle will equip the saint to be in the apostolic, the prophet will equip the saint in the prophetic. The evangelists will equip the saints in evangelism and the pastor and the teaching and so on. So whatever the grace that has been given and the ministers, those who are called and appointed, will equip the body of Christ, will equip the saints in that. Now what does this happen? This equipping, what does this result in? It's resulting in ministry, right? So there are some who are equipped in the apostolic and they are going around and they are exercising the apostolic gift, the calling, and they're pioneering doing some pioneering work, opening up territories, extending the kingdom of God in areas and places where it has never been. So they're doing that. So those who are in the prophetic, again, they have been trained to hear the voice of God, to discern the voice of God, and to obey the voice of God. So, you know, so all this is happening. They are doing their work of ministry, whether it's reaching out, whether it's building up those who are already reached. So all this is resulting in the edifying, in the building up of the body of Christ. So the church is being built up. It's built up stronger. It's built up bigger because more and more are being added because of the work of ministry of the saints. So the other, or some of the other aspects of why the apostolic, why this five-fold ministry is that they will continue to equip the body of Christ till the body of Christ is edified. And all believers come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the, that's verse 13, to a perfect man, to maturity, to the measure of the stature of Christ. He's the standard. He's the role model. So that Christ's maturity, Christ's level of maturity, Christ's standard of maturity is the role model. Like that's the level. So till we all come to that, this equipping happens. So and why maturity, why maturity, why should everyone grow in the knowledge of Christ? Well, the reason is very simple because we should not be childish, right? We should not be childish because being childish, continuing to be childish, it's dangerous. Continuing to be childish is dangerous because we'll be, you know, swayed this way and that way by every wind of doctrine, by every teaching, which might not be necessarily biblical. Okay, so that's the danger. So when people are mature, then they'll be, they are able to discern. They are able to discern what is right, what is wrong with the help of the Holy Spirit. So that we should no longer be children with every carried about with every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in the cunning craptiness of deceitful plotting, which means that there are people who are manipulating, who are, you know, who are doing things, not for the, not with good intentions, not with sincere intentions for that will benefit the body of Christ that will benefit the believer, but they're doing it for the sake of their own advantage and benefit so that they might get some benefit out of it, right? So they are plotting, which means they are craftily planning something. How can I get something out of this person? Deceitful plotting, which means it's not all this planning and everything is deceitful. It's full of deceit.  And that is what they are doing. So that is verse 14. And then, sorry, one second. Yeah. And then, so we should no longer be in that manner. So we need to come to place of maturity. But we need to speak the truth in love and we speak in speaking the truth in love, which means in continuing to speak the truth of God in love that we all grow up in all things into him. So in all aspects, in all areas of our lives that we grow up and that we become mature. Okay. So that's the objective. So it all flows from, why did the Lord Jesus establish this in the church? It has all these effects, one after the other, one after the other. It's people are being equipped. They are ministering. The body of Christ is being edified. Everybody's coming to the unity of the faith. They're coming to the knowledge of the Son of God and they're being mature to be a perfect man. And there's no human role model but Christ Himself, Christ Himself is a standard. And when they come to that place of maturity, then there is no going to and fro with every wind of doctrine. They've reached a place of maturity, so that they don't have to be swayed by the plotting, by the cunningness of man, by the deceitfulness of man who are of so-called ministers who are actually, who are actually doing things for their own benefits. So what this does is that the whole body of Christ is edified. It's growing and it's being strengthened where every part does it share. That's another thing that every part, which means everybody who is a believer is a part of the body. Every believer is part of the spiritual body of Christ and every believer has their role and function. And as they faithfully fulfill that role and function, as they do their part, which causes, you know, they are causing growth of the body and edification of the body according to the effective working by which every part does its share. So this is God's plan, this is God's will and this is God's design in the body of Christ. So we will do well as ministers of the gospel, as pastors, as spiritual leaders to get this into our own, in our spirit, to receive this in our spirit and say, okay, this is why we are doing church. This is why I'm there as a pastor or this is why I'm there as a teacher or this is why I'm there as an apostle or evangelist as a minister of God. I'm there to, yes, I'm there to share and preach and all that, but the big picture, the objective of it is that the believer is equipped and edified in sharing Christ, in sharing the truth, in sharing all these messages, you know, Sunday after Sunday, that's the objective that we are taking this believer, you know, from where they are to a place of maturity. Okay, right. Let's look at verse 17, verse 17 onwards, I'll just share the notes as well. Okay, so verse 17, right, this I say therefore and testify in the Lord that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart, who being past feeling have given themselves over to lewdness to work all uncleanness with greediness, but you have not so learned Christ. If indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him as the truth is in Jesus, that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. Okay, so here's some instructions. So you're saying this I say therefore. Okay, so this is what Christ has done, the verses before that, this is what Christ has done, this is what he has established in the body for the body to be edified, equipped and so on. Therefore, I say to you and testify in the Lord that you should no longer walk or your walk, your life should not be the same as how it was, or it should not be the same as the rest of the Gentiles, people who do not know God, how there should be a difference. Okay, now, so he goes on to explain that the rest of how the rest of the Gentiles walk, okay, people who do not have a living relationship with Jesus, how is their life, how is their walk, says in verse 17, they walk in the futility of their mind. Okay, so which means he's saying in the emptiness or their life is futile, in the, in other word, for that is vanity. Okay, so it's a immoral depravity, you know, it's, it does not have truth in it, it does not have, it's not appropriate, right, it does not have truth, it's morally, morally corrupt. Okay, so saying you can't walk like that, you can't walk in or live in the same way, right, in the futility of their mind. Now, why is there, why is, when he says futility of the mind, verse 18 talks about, you know, why is it futile or why is it wasteful, right, why it does not have any, any, any, any kind of benefit, right, spiritually or even otherwise. So it means that having their, so verse 18 he says having their understanding darkened. Okay, so which means their faculty of their mind imagination, the ability to think, process, decision making, everything is darkened. Okay, so it's saying it has come to a place of not in the light, but it's darkened. Okay, so it's, does not have the light of the truth. Okay, so the whole thought process, imaginations, decisions, intellect, because they've not come to the truth of the gospel, it is darkened. Now it might be, people might be highly intellectual, people might be highly intelligent, very imaginative, very creative. Okay, but it's the, the thought process and everything is darkened. And it's, it's empty in the, in a sense, you know, it's, it's a futility of the mind, they're living according to their mind, according to their thought process is everything. But that is not come to the light of truth. So therefore in that sense it is darkened. Verse 18, second part also says that being alienated from the life of God. So what does alienated mean?  So being alienated from what distance or disconnected from what, from the life of God. Okay, so this is the reality of an unbeliever.  But even for such people, what happened? The reality is that they are alienated, cut away, distance, disconnected from the life of God. Okay, so the word used there is zoe, life, zoe, which means God kind of life, or the life that God has.  They're alienated from the zoe of God, from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart. Okay, this ignorance and blindness ignorance, we know what that word ignorant means, ignorance means that, you know, there's no knowledge or they're not, they've not come, they don't know, there's lack of knowledge, there's a lack of understanding. So that is ignorance. So because of the ignorance that is in them, they are not understood things, or willfully, or even otherwise. And it says because of the blindness, okay, blindness we know is something that we associate with sight, right, being able to see, and not being able to see, right, is blindness. But here it says because of the blindness of their heart, okay, blindness of the heart, the word you say is cardiac, which means their spirit is dulled, their spirit is calloused. So the spirit is not able to receive, because it's disconnected from the life of God. Okay, so we see this important spiritual truth that yes, people could be highly skillful, they could be very intelligent, but there is, they are in a way, they are disconnected, they are cut away from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, and because of the blindness of their heart, the spirit is cut away from the life of God, and therefore not able to perceive who God is, not able to understand, not able to understand God's ways. Okay, so you say, you know, don't walk like them, you know, don't try to copy them, don't try to compare yourself with them, and don't try to walk with them, you know, you walk worthy of the calling, now don't try to copy, don't try to live like them, because this is the reality, this is how they live, this is the reality, this is spiritual reality, they are cut away. Now the Lord Jesus says in John chapter 15, we see that, he says that, I am the wine, you are the branches, so what does he mean by that? He means that the life that is flowing in him is flowing in the believer, so he says, abide in me, and you will, you know, you will be, and let my words abide in you, and you will ask what you desire, and so on, and then he also says, you know, you are the branches, I am the wine, and as long as the branch abides in the wine, or stays in the wine, it will bear fruit, so which means we see that, well, life of Jesus, the Zoe God kind of life flows from the wine to the branch, it's disconnected, does not have life, so a person who is not yet a branch, not yet made that decision to be connected to the life of Christ is alienated from the life of God, okay? So verse 19, again, who being past feeling have given themselves over, okay? Now because of this, because they are alienated, now they have given themselves over, you know, to live in a certain way, and what is it? They have given themselves over to eludeness, they have given themselves over to work all uncleanness, with greediness or greed and uncleanness, and everything that is morally, that is immoral, is found, right? Now it might be in some degree, it might be in a, for some people it might be in a small degree, but then for some it might be a greater degree, but the fact is this, you know, this is the reality, right? Because they do not have the life of God in them. And then verse 20, okay, but you have not so learned Christ. Now that is not your reality, right? This is not how the condition is, this is not your condition now, this is not how you have learned Christ, okay? Your condition is different, your spiritual condition is different.  So everything that is opposite of what he described for the Gentile is what is true for, you know, the one who is a believer. So, which means that, well, the believer has the life of God. The believer is not distanced from the life of God. The believer is connected to the life of God. And there's no blindness of the heart because the eyes of his understanding are being opened, have been opened, right? And now he's a, he or she is a slave of righteousness and not a slave to sin, right? So, so this is the difference. So he's saying you have not so learned Christ, okay? If indeed you have heard him and have been taught by him, okay? So saying this is, you have heard, you have been taught by Christ, you have been taught by the Spirit, you have been, you have heard the Spirit. So we know that he spent, Paul spent, you know, this two and a half plus years in Ephesus, teaching them each and every day, training them.   And now this is, this is true for us as believers, right? We have the privilege of hearing him. We have the privilege of being taught, being taught by Jesus, right? So because of this verse 20, he says that you put off, okay?  So now you need to make some decisions, you need to live in a certain way. You cannot go on living the old life. Right? So what should you do with regard to how, you know, you need to live? You put off concerning your former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lust. Okay, so, so he's putting the, again, you know, like what we've seen in Galatians, he's asking the believer to be responsible, to take the responsibility of putting off, putting off the former conduct. So to make some decisions, to put off, to make some choices about how they live. Okay, so that word put off, that means to put aside, to literally push, or to push away, right, to cast off. They're saying, this is what you need to do. You literally need to push away your old conduct, you know, cast off the old conduct.  You know, should I consider these options, sinful options? No, you push away, you put it aside, have nothing to do with it. Right? Concerning your former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt according to deceitful lust, sorry, deceitful lust, which means that the old man, it's actually growing corrupt, the old nature. So it's decaying, right? It's not producing life, it's not life producing, it's decaying. So why do you want it? Right? According to deceitful lusts. So according to certain, you know, these strong desires, which are, in fact, deceitful, meaning it is something that is not of the truth and it's something that is deceiving, right? And it's a strong desire, lust, craving, but it's deceiving. It's a strong craving, it's a strong longing, it's something that is forbidden, sinful, and it's deceitful, probably leading you into more and more into sin, leading you more and more into it is something that is unedifying, something that's trapping you like a prisoner. So put away, cast away, push it away, right? And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Be renewed, be renovated, be changed. Okay? So that's the, that's the thing, that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind. So the whole responsibility, you know, for this is upon the believer now. Okay? So we as believers, we have to make certain decisions, certain choices. Now, what will help us make those decisions and make those choices is the life of God that is in us. And the Holy Spirit is in us. We are connected to Jesus. We have the life of Jesus in us, the God kind of life, Zoe, flowing in us. So that is there to empower us and strengthen us. But we need to, with our will, with our mind, we need to make a choice. Now, that making a choice and that renewing of the mind to think in a different way, it is our responsibility. Now, God will not do it for us. The Lord will not do it for us, because he's given us that free choice. He's given us the ability to design. So he says, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And again, verse 24, that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness that you put on. Now, the fact is, we are already new creations. We are new creations. There is change that has happened to our spirit. We are born again. We are the righteousness of God in Christ. Now, this putting on is to affirm that, to come in agreement with that each and every day. That you put on, what do you need to put on?   Maybe you're wrapped in some dirty clothes or something. You just take that off, push it aside. And then you put on some clean garments. You put on the new man. Now, this is a choice that you need to make every day. It's already been, you've already been made clean, but you're affirming, you're coming in agreement. Yes, put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. So this new man, the spiritual reality is according to God in his likeness. And in true righteousness, nothing deceitful, like true righteousness and holiness. Verse 25, some practical things. Okay, let's read that. Verse 25 onwards, therefore putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbour, for we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labour working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour and evil speaking would be put away from you with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Okay, so saying therefore, all these things are yours, you come to this place, put away lying. Don't continue to have or speaking of lies or using lies to get ahead or to get an unfair advantage, put away lying, speak the truth, you speak the truth with your neighbour. Okay, for we are members of one another. So we are actually members, we are actually part of the same body, which means if you are actually, if you're speaking a lie in order to put down, pull down someone so that you can go higher, or if you're speaking a lie in order to in order to save a situation for yourself, to make you look good, to cover up something, you are actually, in other words, saying you are actually hurting yourself.  Why? Because you are members of each other. Okay, so at that moment, it might seem like, well, I'm glad I got out of that situation. But it's going to come back, you have actually put yourself, you have actually hurt yourself.  Okay, first 26, be angry and do not sin. Okay, interesting verse, because it says, be angry, do not sin or in your anger, do not sin. So we've, we see that, yes, anger is an emotion and well, anger can lead to, if not checked, if not corrected, or if we continue on in anger, continue to feel that anger, you know, it can lead to a lot of destructive behaviour for ourselves and for others. Physically, we might get violent, verbally, we might speak words, hurt someone. We might do all these things. But the thing is, yes, we might feel angry, because some, there is some injustice. Okay, when we, sometimes we read the newspapers, we feel angry. We feel an anger, oh, this is not right. It is, it is unjust. This person has been dealt with unfairly. Why is there so much injustice? It's because of sin. And so we feel that emotion of anger, but do not let it lead to sin. I do not let it become a sinful act, because it is very possible. It has the potential to cause you to sin, but rather let your response be in righteousness. Okay. So he says, you know, do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your heart. You deal with it. Now you have to deal with it. No, don't, in a sense, even if in the day, if during the day you have felt this, you've become angry, don't wait, you know, till the next day. Right. So he says, don't let the sun go down on your heart. So before nighttime, so in other words, figuratively, it means that you deal with it quickly. Right. Don't continue, don't prolong it. You deal with it. And the important thing is this, don't let the sun go down on your heart, because if it, if you're going to extend that time, then you're going to, the next verse says, nor give place to the devil. What happens is that the longer you keep, you know, keep this anger as a, in your heart, you're going to give or give place. And the word they use there is a foothold. What means foothold. You're giving a topos, you know, a foothold for the devil, for the enemy. So it's like, when he gets a foothold, he's going to come in and create confusion and, you know, steal, kill, destroy. So don't do that. Don't give place to that devil. So this is the thing. So anger actually has to be dealt with. We can, we can feel the emotion of anger and not let it lead us to sin. But we can, you know, deal with it in the right way.  It can be a righteous response to it, which will express, you know, the wrath of man will not result in the righteousness of God. But, you know, but if it's a righteous act that we respond to by the power of the spirit, then it'll be a, you know, it'll have God's approval on it. Okay, we'll stop here and we'll come back and continue.


In the beginning of the course, we asked people a bunch of questions in episode one in a section called About You. And one of the questions in particular we asked was, do you think that there are health practices, for example, herbal remedies, spiritual harmony, dietary practices, traditional healing, that aren't being investigated either because the medicine and drug companies don't like them or because they don't fit current scientific theories? Now we had tens of thousands of people respond to this question and 85% of people said yes, that is, said that there are practices, alternative practices that aren't being investigated. Now why? That's a really big number. And again, we're interested in this episode as to why people believe these sorts of things. And the reason in this case is that I think a couple of things are going on. But one is just the information that people are exposed to when deciding whether there's actually something to these treatments. And if you think about it in terms of the media, television, movies, most of the sort of exposure that we have seems to be that there are definitely effective alternative treatments that aren't being investigated. And there seems to be a bias against traditional sorts of scientific medicine, evidence-based medicine. And some of the examples that our students on campus provided seem to suggest that. They mentioned things like traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, aromatherapy, homeopathy, a lot of the things we're talking about in this episode. And again, the second thing I think might be going on is that you don't really notice non-occurrences exactly as we heard about in the last episode. So if something isn't effective, if one of these treatments have been tested adequately using traditional evidence-based medicine and it came out negative, you wouldn't hear about it, would you? You would never see in the headlines in the news about a non-event. The fact that the placebo is no better than the active drug in this case. So you're not going to hear about those particular treatments. And so they won't factor into your rating as to whether these things are actually happening or not. Yep. I think the availability heuristic is operating very strongly here. So when you're trying to ask, when you're trying to answer that question, the experiments that have been done about traditional or alternative therapies don't come to mind very easily. You said, yep, there might not be reported in the media. But where do you get this information? How would you even assess if you're curious about a particular treatment? Where would you look to find out if it had been investigated and what the outcomes were? Well, one excellent resource is called the Cochrane Library. And it summarizes and interprets the really good scientific experiments that have been done on a wide range of treatments. For example, there's an entire section on complementary and alternative medicine. You can find treatments for everything from blood disorders to infectious disease or tobacco drugs and alcohol dependence. If you look at something like mental health and then depression, now here there are all sorts of alternative therapies that have been tested like acupuncture, light therapy, St. John's Wart. And for each treatment, they actually list the experiments and analysis that have been conducted. And what I like about it is they provide a plain language summary at the end of each of the articles. Now, in this particular case, there were 30 trials. There were 2,812 participants that were included in the review and big meta-analysis and analysis of analyses. But there was insufficient evidence that acupuncture can assist with the management of depression. So it's a great resource. I really think it can help with your everyday medical and health decision making. That's right. As an example, when we were traveling around the world doing these sort of conversations with people, I was suffering jet lag big time. And one of my colleagues recommended that I try melatonin, right, yeah, maybe. I didn't take his advice in this case, but maybe I should have. I got back home and plugged it into the Cochrane Library. And sure enough, it turns out that there have been dozens and dozens of experiments. And they've all come out really positively. So there really seems to be quite a benefit of melatonin in combating jet lag, which I had no idea about. So I think next time I might actually try it as a result. But this idea, I mean, this idea of the Cochrane Library, people really don't know where to find information, but this is such a good resource. If you want to know if there's anything to a lot of these treatments, and people I think are going to be very surprised by the sort of things that are included in that database. Like you said, from light therapy to herbal remedies to acupuncture and all sorts of things. And you can see whether there is anything to these treatments. The experiments that have been conducted are by people who are looking to find effects. They're not by a biased sample of scientists who are trying to demonstrate that they're not there. I mean, often they're done by drug companies who want to make money. If there's money to be found, then these alternative medicines will be regarded as medicine. They won't be alternative anymore, and people are going to profit from them if that were the case. So I think it's a great resource, and I think people ought to make use of it. But there's another really interesting claim or topic that I want to discuss, and that is vaccinations, immunization. And there's a real tendency, at least at the moment, we're seeing outbreaks of measles in Canada and Australia and throughout the United States and all over the world. And it turns out that a lot of parents are deciding not to vaccinate their children for one reason or another. And so I had an opportunity to chat with Ian Fraser, who's from the University of Queensland, and he's developed the cervical cancer vaccine, which is proving to be really quite useful.


what a year just just experienced the third earthquake in Zagreb this year I've only been in Zagreb maybe four months out of this year but managed to catch every single earthquake one back in March that was I think 5.3 Richter scale yesterday morning was woken up at the same time about 6 30 a.m. so 5.2 5.3 as well and then just now it was a 6.3 6.4 building was shaking it was pretty pretty spooky just just wanted a lot of friends family reached out I'm fine everything's okay and apartments fine only thing that you know had a few broken bottles some things shake some of the stuff on the stove got shook up a little everything's fine it was in the it was in southeast of Zagreb in the town called CISAC and I think there were some pretty big damages there I obviously I can't get out there I think downtown Zagreb is okay what a crazy year well I'm gonna start shaking you can see I still have my coat on well packed up with some of essentials just in case I have to run outside it's amazing in times like this you find out what you really what you really need to grab and what you really need so when I ran outside everybody was flooded in the streets the phones and networks were all jammed up people are trying to call but people stayed calm for the most part so yeah hopefully that that hopefully that was just a that summer there's not a lot of big aftershocks after that but gotta stay prepared crazy year I'm sure those of you the experience in earthquake can relate let's hope that 2021 is better for all of us


Top of the morning to you We just made this 3d Farmhouse st. Patrick's Day collage Using our blue ford some MDF and some paint and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up welcome back do it to do a builder to make it we do too We have a new video each week this week. We totally got lucky that we had a project in the pot Yes, we had a little project fail this week It's not a fail. It's on hold back burner throw it on the back burner. It's simmering Yeah, we had a simmer one and come up with another one So last minute yes, we had an all-night design session last night not all night But we did work pretty late designing something new last minute today's Thursday. We're filming this video today We will edit today, and we will had it out much more morning at 9 a.m. So we are ready to go So what are we making we are making a farmhouse? Collage frame so it's kind of like the tear tray at the cubbies. Yes cubbies It's got nine little boxes, and it's it makes you think of the tear tray accent So basically we're taking those to your tray accent So we're putting it in the nine coys and creating this photo collage or three Yeah, this 3d get a pop farmhouse frame collage Anyway, I am so excited about it. I can't wait to show you what we've come up with I can't wait to paint and put it all together. Yeah, some cute designs.   Yeah, it's like a big top hat Yes, lucky. He's got such a big hat Step one we're gonna gather all of our supplies All we really needed was a sheet of eighth inch MDF Hardboard draft board, whatever you call it a sheet of quarter-inch MDF We needed ours by like 16 by 20 because we're making the sign and we're gonna use some of our country sheet paints I'll go to the colors when we get there Just as a reminder because we always forget to say if you're interested in purchasing some of these country sheet paints They're really great. You know, how are we always bragging about our one cup? You can purchase them from country sheet comm using our code you get a 10% discount to make it 10 make it make 10 Yeah, make 10. Thanks. Hype man. Somebody stole make it 10 And some of our gorilla contact cement here a gorilla glue Step two We're gonna make all of our cuts We're gonna bring the eighth inch MDF over to the glow forge first and we're gonna cut out all of our little accents We got a bunch of cool little accents and then we're gonna take this one over and we're gonna have to use a pass through Because the sign is just a little too big just a little too big Just falls right outside. So you got to use the pass through Look glow forage right here. I'm gonna clip it on Maybe I'll meet you over at the app. We're gonna hop over a glue forage. I just finished up the design file and illustrator I Exported it so I could pick it up and glow forage. It's just an SVG does have text on it That's some instructions on how to how to actually just put it together Alright, we're gonna start with the accents. So we're gonna move the accents over to the medium draft board Let's set it up so everything will fit Oh, let's select medium draft board and gray cut cut This one score and Cut all right, everything looks good. We're gonna set focus I like to set focus first because sometimes It will shift. You'll see it shift. So when you hit ready print, it's gonna set focus anyway So you'll see right before a print sometimes it will shift the image on your board So I like to set the focus so I see where it's actually gonna lay on the board before I do anything All right, let's hit print Let's go make some magic All right, I swapped my board. I put the eighth inch in I'm gonna select everything Move it all the way right. I'm gonna start at the bottom of my design Hold on some of that's cutting as you know Going to grab all of the stuff that went on the eighth inch Slide it over Now I'm gonna do some magic. I'm gonna enable pass through Bam, there's my design Looks good again. I'm gonna set focus And now I'm just gonna hit print or go make magic Whatever the button says now we paint We have all our little accents cut out and laid out here. I don't know if you can see them Oh, yeah, we got another camera going and then here's our backer The great thing about this little backer is we put these scorebarks so you can see all nine squares And you know exactly where to paint and not paint or don't have to or Different colors and then the little frame here comes in all the separate pieces easy to put together But they're all labeled horizontal vertical top bottom right side left side up down left is right That was from a little test cut we did and we couldn't what we were like, which is this is this a side Is this a top? I forget. Yeah by the time I took it out of the board. I forgot where it went I learned and labeled yep, so we test cut it again now. They're labeled. We dry fit it looks good All right, so let's get this thing painted and see how it goes. Oh, yeah nice and easy to paint everything separated or scored That's what I like. I don't have to stay in like any lines Well, and that's also going to be great with this backer So you don't have to fill in this box perfectly because This this is a quarter of an inch and it'll kind of hide a loamy. I mean you got to get close Let's not get crazy. Yeah, yeah close. All right. Okay. I'll be close I'll let you start with that. So we're gonna do a green and white checkerboard for the back So we're gonna do that in our fireworks Crinoline So I'm gonna let you know that fireworks is green I feel like it should be orange or red. I hear you. I will start with start with our gold items and I am going to use So either luminous which is a really beautiful bright yellow or this fresh mustard I really want the gold to pop and I'm thinking this mustard is gonna look like a good gold So I'm gonna start with that and I'm doing luck. I'm doing the pot atop of the pot of the gold In and then the buckle. Yep, the buckle of his hat right here And then one more thing.  We got these on Amazon. You can buy them in bulk What is that?  Yeah, let me see that thing. It's just on a tippier finger. Uh-huh.  So Father like son They look like stilts for you. He goes. He says oh, so I could paint. I could paint twice as fast Losing focus babe Okay, this little kit here this little lucky charm that goes on the tag this thing is Super delicate. So you have to be real careful That you don't break off the little letters here.  Does it? That was pretty good Irish accent, right? Mm-hmm pretty good Almost thought I was like straight out of Dublin. Oh, hey, you ever see that movie? Darby O'Gill on the little people Remember that thing? No, like I've asked a million people and they're all like no I don't know what you're talking about.  It's a real movie No Back to being delicate All right, go ahead Moving on, enough leprechaun speak I was going to make another comment about our buffalo plaid square here. This is also very delicate these little buffalo plaid stripes are Tiny tiny tiny. No, I'm not sure if I should do that with an Irish accent or a Rastafari accent It's a wee buffalo plaid man I'm gonna cut that out It's not fair that you get to cut out yours embarrassing moments. I Love that. Look at this little buffalo plaid. This is the same buffalo plaid Pattern that we used at Christmas time to make our tags.  Look how cute that is. Oh, so cute. It is so cute. I love it. It's just a wee buffalo plaid All right, I'm gonna wear a wee by the end of this this video Yeah, but you gotta move on to the frame I'm gonna glue it down with this gorilla contact cement. I'm gonna start with the frame let it dry Well, we work on the accents. All right, you want me to you want me to start? How about I glue in you place? Okay, we're gonna work our way inside out, okay? Hand me. Can you still read it after you? Oh, yeah, you sure can. All right, awesome. This is my right side This is vertical Vertically horizontal Vertical give me something to start with. All right, and this is the top quickly. It's coming out. It was an out You gotta wait two minutes on this stuff. Well, do you want to be? If you're gonna set it aside now, go ahead and lay it down. We're gonna set this back here And we're gonna set the easy press on it till it dries Yeah, that's what he's decided to use as its weight You wait there. It is not on Yeah, it's not on. Accents together. But there's not much to glue together. Well, they have to glue down mostly. Oh, well That'll be ready in like two minutes. Let's look the frame looks like Do you have our other camera on right here? All right, I didn't say it was that try Still easy and gooey But found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow this week. Yes, I love this This is exactly what I envisioned. This is exactly what I wanted to make. I am so excited I can't wait to set this up on my island and using one of those little Like what is it like frame stand stand? Yeah little frame stand like we did our Which what have you put on there like your home sweet home sweet home sign? Yeah, I'll set this on the island So everybody could see it set it on the counter Popped out all through that looks great. Let me know what you think Well, I'll put the cut files up in the store will also make this kit available Yeah, I am yeah all these little accents. You can make the frame it will include everything It'll include everything that you see here with all the accents and the frame You'll just have to the cutest little no, yeah, cute little no all you have to do is add some paint All right We're about out of time Because we're cutting it close So I got to go edit and we'll see you next week where we'll do it build it make it again I Think I should balance it. No, no, no, I know You can balance me Good you good to


This came in the mail on Friday. It is now Sunday. I don't know what it is but the fact that it says Spacemop on it and it's from Canada Makes me suspect That I know what it is But we'll find out. Yes space janitors as I suspected This is a Kickstarter that I helped fund Like two years ago. It's been a while If you've never watched the space janitor series, you should go do that now. I'll include a link. I remember the first season being Extremely funny very original very entertaining. I Don't believe I watched the entire second season. I remember the second season getting kind of weird and not as a Not as entertaining as the first but anyway When I saw that they were funding more shows I instantly Send in enough money to get to a DVD set. It says there's two DVDs here Exclusive first pressing for the Kickstarter backers all 24 episodes plus extras. So I guess this is Yeah The snow scenes are from the second season. I guess second season they call it I'm glad to get this space janitors if you hadn't see it go now


Hi, my name is a year Hershko. I'm the VP of engineering at Zadara storage and I will discuss briefly about the company And what's the concept that we bring to the world? Few words about the technology. I will show you a short demo and Finally, what the value proposition that we bring? So as a daughter storage was founded two years ago, we are a team of very experienced storage and technologies and Sales people we have raised up till now. We have raised seven million dollars up to date and We have gone Production about a year ago and our technology was adopted by dimension data And it's currently being evaluated by 20 plus other clouds And we have revenue customers including Deloitte and and others So what's the concept and when we founded the Zadara storage we have a basically Came to the conclusion that there is no way today to consume enterprise quality storage as a service in the cloud and What if we could have provided an enterprise storage as a service with high performance and availability with the the customer ability to control and the freedom of choice of the storage that is needed and the flexibility and charge back charge back and billing and on the other hand There's a need for cloud scale in cloud economics Which means that we can scale up the storage cloud up to X a bite with a single management point and we can provide predictable performance to end users and Basically, you can think about it. Can we provide a single tenant storage experience in a multi-tenant environment? So, how do we do that? so we said, okay, let's lay let's look at the benefits of traditional sand storage arrays Where you can select your criteria For the storage type that you need you can define the controller performance You know how much cash you have which type of drives and how many drives you want to have which raid protection you need and You can provide a storage to clustered applications and Basically, that defines your uptime and your IOPS and latency All of those things are the things that you can control when you use traditional sand like storage systems But on the other hand the downside of sand storage like storage systems is that they are costly And they are not elastic And you can and they're upfront cost so The concept is as follow you take a pool of resources commodity standard x86 servers you put our software on top of it and You create a cloud storage those are this is the cloud storage of resources of drives of compute resources and networking resources and then as As a service on demand we partition those resources into storage systems so each customer its tenant can get a virtual private storage array which is built from dedicated resources and So basically we allocate full drives. We allocate network bandwidths and we allocate CPU cores and memory in order to build a storage system So how do we do that if you look at the bottom? This is our Zodara cloud fabric This is this there's a Dara storage cloud and you see there a bunch of store of servers with direct attached storage and running our software we build this virtual storage array Which is you see on the top has two array controllers storage controllers you can define the amount of memory that is used for cash and then you select drives from Different nodes so there's no single point of failure you select drives from different nodes and You carve from that a virtual private storage array from that storage array You can then go and create raid groups pools and carve volumes and assign those volumes as ice Kazi or NFS To your hosts to your application servers in the compute cloud So what are the key benefits the key features that we provide? So we provide an enterprise class ice Kazi which is block and NFS storage You get full control. You have your own GUI as a tenant you can build an array in five minutes and You get consistent performance with dedicated cores dedicated network bandwidth and dedicated Store in storage drives you can get high performance and high consistent performance Security we have Authentication with chap and in addition You get full flexibility of the storage system Which you are able to add and remove and drives you can add and remove a Compute power as you need a word about data security So this is very critical for enterprise customers. We Tackle it end-to-end through access control We use identity management and Data privacy So the whole architecture of VPS a is such that one tenant cannot is Isolated from its neighbor tenants We use of course a chap authentication And we have since you have full control of your drives that are dedicated to your VPS a you can then shred your data Whenever you are done with your drives we support data encryption both at rest and in flight and The old the user the tenant owns the encryption keys and On the network inside we have we support villains per tenant and you have isolated networks per VPS a So each VPS a is isolated and secured So, how do we do that? the basic a Our cloud orchestration is built using open stack building blocks so as I said at the beginning I have we have a Stack of stores of servers of nodes with the architect Drives and then we use open stack Which is a very scalable cloud architecture as you all know and we use we have an Nova a VPS a scheduler that is used in order to schedule drives and to schedule virtual controllers per VPS a We use keystone for identity management and we use a glance To manage our virtual controller repository and of course everything is with the rest API so Our unique thing is that we use open stack Mainly Nova part of it in order to create a block and file storage cloud Very scalable, so I will show you a demo in a of Okay, so this is the management console where you can log in and Create your virtual private storage array Okay, I Will go and create a VPS a when I create a VPS a Provided a name Open stack demo and I will Select three criterias the first one is where do I want to locate the storage array in which? Data center in which cloud currently we support today. We are deployed at Amazon dimension data and equinex. I would select Amazon East to for example and then I in order to create my VPS a I need to select basically two things one is what is the Zadara engine and the Zadara engine you can think about it as the virtual controller so which What what is the virtual controller capabilities? Which is basically the amount of CPU cores and the amount of memory? That is being used to process the IOs I would select a basic is a Zadara engine and then I can select which type of drives I want to have and How many drives I want to have within the VPS a for example, I would select Three drives that are 600 gig sass and and I will submit and Basically, that's it within two minutes. I will have a VPS a created Which is Completely isolated from other VPS a's in the cloud and it is fully owned by me so if I'm Going to a VPS say that I've previously created This is the good that you get when you'll spawn your VPS a today As you can see I can I can look at the list of drives That exist in my VPS a this one currently has ten drives I can remove a drive if you want to give it back to the cloud and stop paying for it For example, I'll take this drive and I will remove it and This is no longer belonging to this VPS a Then I can go and create a raid groups. So currently I have a single raid group I can go and create another raid group from the drives that I've Selected for example, I can create a raid one With two drives for example and from that drives I can go and create virtual volumes assign those volumes to servers hosts and In addition I can manage I can see the virtual controller and their characteristics So this is how the VPS a go. He looks like Now the last thing that I wanted to show is The next release of the VPS a which is coming in a in a month We are adding capabilities of Snapshots and remote mirroring so and in addition to the previous Management capabilities that you saw of creating raid groups creating pools creating In addition to the capabilities of creating raid groups and pools and carving volumes in the upcoming Release you will be able to create snapshots defined snapshots policies where you can create In delete snapshots automatically and create remote replication. Okay, so you have Okay, so Where does the Darah fits in enterprise storage so we are a software as a service and Which is similar to sand but is that as a service and it is elastic And it provides low latency high IOPS for your database and other mission critical Application you can deploy it on-premise or off-premise and That's our unique proposition Today we are available at Amazon web services. We are available at dimension data and in equinix So just to summarize it the service provider unique value proposition is to provide an enterprise storage as a service to build a storage a cloud with With enormous scale that supports thousands of storage nodes and thousands of petabyte of storage and Cloud economics It's a software defined storage. You can provide your customers your end users a single tenant experience within a multi a multi tenant environment and It's a traditional sand ass benefits plus the cloud elasticity and ecosystem From the end user perspective a developer position is consistent performance a high performance You can do application clustering And you have full control over your storage and you own your own encryption. Thank you very much


So this person was the busiest person out of all the folks out there. And the one that was experiencing the most success, right? But he's also the one that made time to be present and to show up and to be on the call, to give back. And if you read that tweet that I put out there, I'm consistently saying that the people that are present, the people that show up, the people that actually give the most, receive the most. And I think some of you have been a witness to that as well because, you know, maybe you had the opportunity and you didn't take advantage of it. But really what I find and he said, he goes, Eric, what if I didn't, what if I canceled on you today? Or if I didn't come? And, uh, it wouldn't have been so dramatic for me, but the benefits to him would have been significantly reduced.


Minnesota Department of Human Services reached an agreement with the Molochs Band of Ojibwe to transfer operation of a Brainerd Substance Abuse and Addiction Treatment Facility from the state to the American Indian tribe. The state will officially close four wins, its Community Addiction Recovery Enterprise Program in Brainerd as part of the agreement. The transfer was prompted after a change that would have made four wins an Involuntary Treatment Center. However, since over 90 percent of clients are American Indians and seek treatment voluntarily, the American Indian community would have lost a vital resource in the area. We would basically lose an American Indian specific treatment center, our American Indian focus treatment center in the region. Not a lot of American Indians that we see that are involuntary committed. The majority of the membership and clients that we service are voluntary. Currently, four wins is the only state operated treatment center with a focus on traditional American Indian healing and recovery practices. The transfer will officially take place at midnight on March 1st.

Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Johnny Hernandez, Hi-Tech Oki and Logan Larson. Coming up on DTNS inside the Amazon Style Store, eBay's move to live shopping streams. A lot of streaming ads happen when your TV is off and we solve the disinformation problem. You're welcome. This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, June 16th, 2022 in Los Angeles, I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. From Austin, Texas, I'm Justin Robert Young. And on the show's producer, Roger Chang.  Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Samsung released a new Samsung Wallet app in the UK, the US, and parts of Europe, which will handle payment cards, but also passwords and integrate with the smart things to store digital home and car keys, while it takes place of the existing pay and pass apps, while it also integrates with a Samsung blockchain wallet app to let users check values on their dwindling crypto asset. Oh, so sad. Microsoft announced Microsoft Defender for individuals as part of the Microsoft 365 subscription for Windows, of course, Mac OS, iOS and Android. This provides a dashboard with the security status of connected devices and runs its own malware protection engine on Android and Mac OS. Microsoft plans to add identity theft protection and other consumer focused features to Defender going forward. The markup looked at the websites of Newsweek's top 100 hospitals in the US and found that 33 of them included the Metapixel, which is used to track data for Facebook's advertising system. Pixels are small one by one images but log the IP address of an individual loading the page. IP addresses are somewhat vague indicators of a person's location, but they can also send other referral data when they do load and the markup found instances of the pixel packaging in medications, also descriptions of symptoms, doctor's names, search terms, and conditions selected from a dropdown menu. The markup wasn't able to determine how personally identifiable the information was or how Facebook might use it or already be using it. Discord launched its auto-mod autonomous moderation tool available on all community servers. It scans for select words, phrases, and malicious links with automated responses like blocking messages and alerting admins. Elon Musk's The Boring Company has received approval from the city of Las Vegas, Nevada to bring its underground transportation system called The Vegas Loop to city limits. The Vegas Loop was originally a 29-mile tunnel network connecting 51 stations. Now the network is said to expand, at least granted the ability to expand to 34 miles and have a total of 55 stations, including ones that will serve the Harry Reid International Airport and the Allegiant Stadium. Tunneling could begin in 2023 according to boring company president Steve Davis. You really will be able to never see the sky in Las Vegas from the minute you land at the airport. That was always my grape with Vegas. Too much sky, not enough indoors. Oh man, I had to actually step outside. I only want the fake sky that's in the mall in the Venetian. Come on. I lost $300 at the tables in the Hyperloop. What a bummer. All right, let's talk about what's going on with shopping online. Let's do it. So if you can believe it, it's really been a year since Andy Jassy took over from Jeff Bezos, a CEO of Amazon How Time Flies. The Wall Street Journal has an article looking at that first year and noting the moves by Amazon to cut back on the spending that accelerated during the pandemic lockdowns. Amazon is certainly not alone in a company that has had to scale back on that. One aspect of that is shutting down physical stores like Amazon's four-star and bookstores, but also opening new ones such as Amazon Style, that's a clothing store. Now, Tom, we know you went to one yesterday. Not everybody is near enough to go to physically hang out at an Amazon Style store, so how to go? Yeah, so the Americana in Glendale has one of the Amazon Style stores. They shut down the four-star store there and opened up Amazon Style. It's interesting. The idea, if you remember us talking about it before when they launched it, is there's one of everything on the rack.   I'm just gonna send it to the pickup station. So I went over to the pickup station and picked it up. I had to wait like five to 10 minutes from the time that I scanned it. So I actually had a little seating area that I sat at and waited.  They're like, oh, great, can we see your app? And so I opened the app, they scan the app. I'm like, okay, great. And then they go back, honestly, I honestly, they looked around for it. I'm like, it's the only thing on the rack. It's not gonna be hard to find. Then they gave it to me and said, all right, you just gotta go check out now. So then I had to carry it over to the checkout stand and buy it. And I bought it in the app that I had just used to scan it. And then I had to scan that app to prove that I paid for it before they handed it over to me. But yeah, it's a nice purple shirt, very, very comfy. I think for that use case that I used, way more complicated than it needed to be. Well, yeah, cause it seems like a more complicated version of the treasure truck, which some folks have interacted with, but that was an Amazon thing that would bring one item to various different locations in major cities. And because one of them was very close to my house, I bought a bunch of stuff off there because every once in a while, there'd be an air fryer for cheap. But I would buy it right there on the app like you would any other product and then I would just pick it up. So the fact that this is two stages as opposed to one is interesting cause they've already had a successful one stage version of this. Yeah, and in fact, I think that's what this is meant for is I want to just try it on. I don't want to buy it yet. So I go in the app and say, put it in a dressing room, I'll be there soon. And then you show up, try it on and buy it, right? Or I think you can also buy it and just pick it up and not have to check out. I did the normal thing you do in shopping, which is browse around, find something and then not try it on and hope it fits. And it's not really meant for that. Yeah, and what you described, Tom, is like there's one step too many for something like that to sort of sit there and wait for somebody to take something off the rack that you could have just taken to the registry yourself, seems a little counterintuitive. But what if you were shopping for 20 shirts? I don't know how often somebody's gonna be doing that, but there'd probably a lot of reasons that you would. And then I think that would make a lot more sense of, okay, I'm trying on a bunch of things, colors not right, fits not right, help me just kind of organize everything so I'm not schlepping all the things that I decide to finally buy to the register myself. So it does seem like it has a good use case, but not necessarily for everyday use. I don't wanna get anyone in trouble, but I did ask like, hey, how's it going since you opened? And one of the employees like kind of slow. I'm not sure anyone knows we're here. And it was, there were other people in there. It wasn't totally empty. It actually felt like a normal crowd, but it wasn't like a new store had just opened kind of crowd. There were ads all over the Americana for the store, but I'll be honest, I didn't realize they were for the store and I was going there. They just looked like Amazon clothing ads. I'm like, oh yeah, Amazon sells clothes. Like they didn't make me think, oh, there's an actual location I should go to in this mall. Man, if I had a location targeted mailing list. Yeah, right? Once you were in the store, did the store remind you of any other retail stores you've seen before or did it feel really different? It felt like like a Zara, but with only one of each thing on the rack instead of, you know, five. Okay, yeah.  Exactly, yes. Browsing and optimized for browsing stuff for that, I would say traditionally, you know, women's clothes tend to be a little bit more Byzantine in their descriptions and listings and everything. So trying things on is more of a necessity than men's clothes, which is a little bit more forgiving. You need to know a few numbers and a few letters and you're pretty much able to dress yourself, even if you get it a little wrong. So I'd be interested to see how it goes, but as for there being nobody there, again, I made a joke, but holy smokes. Let the world know Amazon. They are. It's just that people are like, yeah, Amazon. I know what Amazon is. Like they don't, it doesn't even click that that's what, when you see that Amazon logo, that's what you think. Anyway, another trend that's dominating in China and other Asian marks is live stream shopping. Amazon has some of that. They haven't gained as much traction on it though. Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, they all have their own efforts, but there's a new one. Indeed there is Tom. eBay is getting into the game with eBay live rolling out in beta this month. You might say, well, what is it? The first event will be a selection of rare trading cards from Bleaker Trading in New York. To note, these are actual cards. They're not NFTs. This is physical stuff. That starts at 3 p.m. Eastern on June 22nd. Highlights will include a 1995 Tops Finest Michael Jordan M1 Red Bordered Refractor PSA Nine Mint and a 1998 Kobe Bryant Skybox. That's jam PSA 10. If you know, you know. Shoppers can access the live event in the eBay app or website. Also interact with the sellers in the chat to ask some questions and make sure it's what you want. And then of course, buy the things. Yeah. Best of luck to eBay on conquering live shopping in the United States when it's huge in other parts of the world. What do you think that is? I don't know. I think. Yeah, I think people think QVC when they hear it and then don't try it. And there was not that history elsewhere. Or you think QVC salted the earth. Yeah. And the people who like QVC go to QVC. So they don't go try the new thing. I think it's because it is fairly pervasive in our culture. Like there's a lot of sponsored stuff. There's a huge market for people demoing things and trying things out. And that's ultimately what you get from this kind of stuff because we're making informed consumer decisions. Yeah, let us know what you think. If you've got a theory on, especially if you're someone who's in one of the markets like China or Korea, where this is huge, like why do you think it's not catching on over here in North America? Feedback of Daily Tech? There's probably more than a few folks saying it has caught on. And I'm one of the people that is super excited about it. Yeah, but by numbers, it's not even close to what it is over there. Not even close. Yeah, I mean, my answer is always, well, only so many people kind of want to be collectors. But again, that's still a large number of people. Well, moving on to ad companies. We all love them. We often hear about them targeting you based on a huge amount of personal data that they can access based on your behavior and your history. We also occasionally joke about how this seems to end up with you seeing ads on pretty much every website or social network for a product that you just bought and therefore are no longer shopping for. For example, I bought the linen sheets already. Why do you keep showing me the ads for the linen sheets? It's truly a thing I go through every day of my life, although sometimes I think about getting more. But the Wall Street Journal has another story about ineffective ads, ads that just don't work at all. So Justin, what is the story here?  A study by ad buying company group M and ad measurement firm, iSpot.tv, found that about 17% of ad shown on television connected to a streaming device, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, et cetera, are playing while your screen is off. It happens most often while viewers are watching free streaming channels like Pluto TV and is estimated to result in a couple billion dollars worth of ads unseen by human eyes. Sometimes when you turn off the TV, the device gets the message through the HDMI and turns itself off, but not always. This pretty much doesn't happen if you use smart TV app since the app stops running when the TV turns off. Yeah, it sounds like we're gonna start seeing a lot of work to detect if your television is truly off, even if the screen is off and has stopped playing ads because that is important information for advertisers. And you'll definitely see more attempts by apps to put up one of those. Are you still watching Netflix X prompts after a certain amount of time has passed without you taking any action in an app? When I first heard this story, I was like, really?  Does this apply to me? And I don't really think it does with most of the apps that I use, but this is really good intel for anybody who cares about this sort of thing. Yeah, if you're watching Netflix, this doesn't apply, right? Netflix doesn't have ads yet, might someday.   Pluto TV though, there's no downside. If you're just watching that grid and you're watching that Golden Girls channel and then you turn off the TV, it just keeps going. And it doesn't affect your viewing history, but it is playing ads and those ads get counted, but you never see them. And apparently that's a problem that is 17% of ads shown on television's large and streaming ads are getting bigger and bigger, not smaller and smaller. And advertisers everywhere are like, la, la, la, don't hear it. No, I don't wanna know. It has been a problem since the beginning of display ads from the very first time that somebody sold a spot of their cave for which a local business could paint their logo on it. We have had the problem of trying to track exactly how many people are going to see this thing. Newspapers count circulation, despite the fact that there is no guarantee that they're going to see your ad on page three of the sports section. There have been problems with television ads and you are only trying to guess based on a flawed Nielsen system, exactly how many people are doing it. Same thing with magazines, same thing with radio, same thing with every other version of this. These kinds of ads are by definition scattershot. So the fact that we even have a quantifiable look at something that we now understand is total waste is actually a huge leap forward for this method of advertising. There's a reason why targeted ads that came through on Facebook and Google immediately overturn the industry. Adding that level of granular analytics to advertising was and remains today in the year of our Lord 2022, a game changer. Yeah, I think the only difference is with a display ad, you had to survey people to find out if they saw the ad in the newspaper. With web delivered ads, internet delivered ads, you know they got delivered and you know where they got delivered. And so the fact that somebody might not have seen them is something you think you can solve with an HDMI sensor, you know, like with a prompt. It's like, well, maybe we don't have to settle for the problems we had with the display ads. But that's so well said, Justin. That's really the only difference here. Yeah, we just know. And that's, you couldn't guarantee that when you bought an ad in a popular magazine that it was ever going to be seen by the amount of number. I mean, because you're buying an ad based on circulation. That's how these things used to work. Well, let's say magazines, for example. So you're saying, okay, the ad rate is set based on the fact that there are X number of subscribers. There's X number of people that we distribute this to. They sell it at X number of stands across the country. You're paying for that, despite the fact that almost certainly not everybody that it has a circulation for is going to read the magazine, let alone see your ad. But that's just how it is. You are building in- But that's not how it is. That's not how it's been on the web since the 90s. Yes. So people got used to the idea of like, yeah, but we don't want to go back to those days. Well, I mean, even then though, right? So let's look at web display ads, which ran on impressions. And as somebody who ran a blog. But they got better and they got better and they got better. And now we're very sure that those ads we deliver at least get seen. They get served. Whether or not they get seen is a different story. As we are seeing in today's story, yeah. Especially as they are refreshing, right? Yeah, yeah. So this is the problem. But if you're in this game, you understand that you're buying in bulk. You understand that there's going to be a lot of ways here and what you're hoping- They don't want to go back to that though. They don't want to go back to that. They're doing that. There's no choice. It would be kind of cool as like Pluto TV or any other network where ads are being served to somebody with their TV off. Like configure out how the AI robot within the app can see and absorb the ad and then serve content to the human when the TV comes back on later. Let's get Lemoine on that. I bet he can make that happen. Sure. What do you either human or AI listening to us want to hear us talk about on the show? One way to let us know is in our subreddit. You can submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. The specter of misinformation on the internet and disinformation, particularly for this story, has loomed large for almost a decade now and governments and tech platforms keep making stabs at fighting it. In the latest move, the European Commission updated its code of practice on disinformation to now cover manipulative behaviors that include deep fake videos, bots, demonetizing accounts that spread misinformation. It requires platforms to give users tools to recognize and flag disinformation. 33 companies voluntarily signed on to these revised rules. They include Meta, Google, TikTok and Twitter. Companies have six months to show they are in compliance with the new rules and can be fined up to 6% of global revenue for any violations. The code was first introduced in 2018. And for whatever reason, it's arguable it has not had much effect on the spread of disinformation. Which leads us to a protocol story about the effectiveness of banning political ads. A narrow effort to prevent misinformation related specifically to elections. Twitter's policy, for instance, was to stop taking ads from political candidates, parties, government officials or PACs, political action committees, Spotify, LinkedIn, TikTok and Pinterest all banned political ads in a similar fashion. Non-profits in smaller political organizations complained that the policies penalized them more than big corporations. Protocol uses the example of Exxon being able to run an ad about their view on climate change while a climate advocacy pack could not run a counter ad. So what effect have these ads actually had? Well, it's hard to say since none of the platforms opened up their data on the policies or shared any of their own research on the matter. However, former director of Facebook's public policy team and professor at UNC Matt Perot and his colleague Scott Bobwood Brennan did some research on publicly available data. They claimed that Facebook's temporary ban on political ads that started immediately before and then ended immediately after the 2020 election had minimal impact on the spread of misinformation. It also limited the reach of smaller organizations and limited political fundraising efforts on Facebook. Political ads as a result have become more expansive and placed on programmatic ad systems that have less transparency. So we have less of an idea of who's buying the ads and where they're going, but this is one study and it's far from what is needed to fully understand the impact. My big drum that I've been banging for years is you have to study the effects of these things to understand if you're even solving a problem or just taking a wild guess that something might be wrong and then doing a thing to make yourself feel better and having no effect, which I'll be honest, kinda looks like what has been happening. Well, and especially when we enter into the realm of politics, considering how mainstream it has gotten and how much tech companies have taken it upon himself as being the entire arbiters of all communication, some elements rightly others wrongly. It means that you also mix in, did the wrong political message get out and how do we affect that? How culpable are we to affecting it? Tom, I wanna ask you this question, you and Sarah, this question. What is the line between disinformation and misinformation? Because I think a lot of people can be confused about this, including us, because we went back and forth with that definition even in the copy here. Yeah. I mean, I guess very broadly, I would say disinformation is straight up not correct. It is just, it is just- Give me an example. If I said, I am a canine, I'm a dog. You are, that would be disinformation, yeah. Now I'm telling you. That could almost be interpreted, like I was born a canine and that's what I am. You'd say, well, that's not true. But if misinformation would be, well, you know, I have some dogs upstairs and they are really good at math. You know, it may be like, is that true? In my dog's case, it isn't. Love you Otis, but you're not good at math. So that's kinda how I identify the two separately. So that would be a thing where somebody would be like, well, cognitively, your animals could not be that good at math compared to a human. And you'd be like, well, I've owned a lot of dogs and this one seems to know that I always give three treats. And when I hold back after the second, they're still looking at me. And so I consider that good at math for a dog. And so there's wiggle room. Yeah, yeah. Sure. I think- Maybe the wiggle room is the differentiator here. Sarah's definition fits what I've seen most people define this as, which is disinformation is like, absolutely, it's wrong. Misinformation is sort of misleading and is a little bit less solid. But honestly, I don't think if you're doing a proper study, I don't know that you even need to define that. What you're looking for is the effects. What you're looking for is, did this policy lead to a certain effect on the election? Did people feel like they were well-informed and made choices that they meant? And I think that's where this gets so wibbly-wobbly is sometimes people really just wanna prove that the candidate they didn't like shouldn't have won. And that's not a good study. A good study says, was the electorate well-informed about why they chose something? And you can design those studies. I know that sounds really wibbly-wobbly the way I said it, but there's a long history of being able to design studies to be like, let's measure if a policy had an effect and what that effect was without presupposing what the values should be and what people should have done. Let's just see if it had an effect. You could learn something just from doing that. Yes, I think even beyond that, we have to understand what is the best version of our society, right? What do we want to incentivize and what do we wanna stop? And that is an element that I do think it's important to categorize misinformation and disinformation because misinformation I think is very, very, very hard to get untangled from just a absent-minded or well-intentioned untruth for which happens in society and a malicious element of it. And it gets even more dicey when we enter the realm of politics which is the art of misinformation. You are trying to shade the reality as much as you humanly can to twist it so your candidate looks excellent and your opposition looks terrible. And that's what politics is and always has been. It's why whenever we get into these conversations, it's so unfortunate to me that politics tends to be the realm we wanna fight on because it is by far the most tricky. Yeah, and I think that's why we're in such a garble about it and not making any progress on improving anything, whether it's political misinformation or disinformation or anything else because people wanna prove something different than what needs to be studied. What needs to be studied is, hey, they changed these policies. What effect did it have? Did it have any effect? Let's look at that.  But study the effects. We can't do anything until we actually find out like did these policies change anything at all? And we have vanishingly few studies that actually do that. Well, I'd like you all to behold something that I found very interesting this morning and that is the Flopatron. If you're not familiar, it's a somewhat ridiculously large PC hardware orchestra that plays music using only electric motors, no software. Polish engineer Pavel Zorodniak has been building various iterations of the instruments since back in 2011. So you may have heard about it. The first Flopatron was just a pair of floppy drives that played the Imperial March theme from Star Wars. And quite well. However, the Flopatron 3.0 is capable of a full orchestra of PC peripherals. Specifically, and hold on to your butts here, 512 floppy disk drives, 16 hard drives and four flat bed scanners. Zorodniak explained in a blog post that the floppy disk drive wall is arranged into columns, each handling a single note at a time. The number of drives involved varies the sound envelope with the floppies handling the low tones, the scanner section providing the higher pitches and the hard drives acting as the percussion section.  This is the coolest thing I've seen in quite some time. Yeah, let's just listen to the beautiful music of the Flopatron. This is amazing. And you might say, I don't know, just sounds like MIDI music, right? Well, yeah, and it is, but what has gone into creating this hardware-wise is a real feat. Oh, man. I feel like it's better than MIDI. Yeah, salute to Pavel, man. Tour with this, tour with this. You deserve it. Yeah, can you get that into a truck with a battery? Just take it around to festivals? That'd be, that is an amazing feat.  He should be playing Sydney Opera House. Absolutely. He's a high art. Also, Pavel has been working on this for half my tech news career. Like, we covered his first effort at Buzz Out Loud. No, wait a minute, I guess it was TNT if it was 2011, but still, crazy, crazy stuff. Yeah, it's been some time. Yeah, I sent this to a friend who's into this sort of thing and he was like, this is insane. Do you know him? I was like, no, I don't know him. I could try to find his information and connect it to a view of it. Email the show, Pavel. That's right. I'd love to hear from you and we love your music. Yeah, we sure do. We also love all the feedback that you give to us. If you have questions, comments, or anything to add on anything that we talk about on the show or anything we might talk about in a future show, we would love to get that feedback. Feedback at dailytechnewshow.com is a good way to send us your feedback. Thanks to Justin Marbury Young for being with us today. Justin, I know you're a busy man, so what's new? I have a brand new panel political podcast called We're Not Wrong featuring myself, Jen Briney of the Congressional Dish Podcast and Andrew Heaton of the Political Orphanage. This week, we discussed the January 6th hearings, the bipartisan gun control deal and the case of Happy the Elephant, an elephant at the Bronx Zoo that had a case filed for it for habeas corpus. So it would be freed from the zoo. All that discussion, it is the most fun thing that I've done in a while. I love talking with those guys and I think if you enjoy the banter on this show and you're interested in politics, you're gonna love it. We're not wrong available everywhere that you get your podcasts. Excellent. Also wanna extend a special thanks to Mike Beatty, one of our top lifetime supporters for DTNS. Mike, we see you and we raise you a glass of thanks. Thank you for all the years of support. Yeah, could be you next, just stick around. Yeah, exactly. There's a longer version of the show called Good Day Internet. Many of you already know about it, but if you don't, find out more at patreon.com.dtns. We roll right into it for 30 minutes after DTNS rolls up. But we are live on this show, 4 p.m. Eastern, 2100 UTC Monday through Friday. You can find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash live. We're back doing it all again with Rob Dunwood. We're gonna stop you soon. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Get more at frogpants.com. I hope you have enjoyed this program. Hehehehe.
