Do I need to do start broadcast? I thought you did that already. The broadcast is now starting. All attendees are in listen only mode. Hi, good morning. My name is Allison Badger and I'm the cataloging librarian here at the Nebraska Library Commission. And today, this is understanding Mark 21 and today we're going to talk about the introduction and overview that hopefully everyone here has had a chance to read. Can everyone hear me? And let me see what we have here. Let's see. I'm not very familiar with the software so you're going to have to bear with me. No? Okay. If you could just type a message in so you know you can hear me and let's see, attendees. Okay, let me unmute your guys' mics. Okay, maybe that's better. Hello? Hello? Hi. Okay. Can I mute my mic because we're having a lot of things running here. Okay, who is this? Okay, so I've muted you guys again because there was a lot of interference from someone. I'm not sure who that is. If you guys just want to use the chat box and you can ask questions or let me know what's going on. Okay, yeah, they are all muted. And so just as a reminder, this session is being recorded and I will post it so anything you say or type will be preserved for eternity. So let's just get started. Let's just leap right into this. So today I'm going to bring this up. You should all be able to see my monitor and the lovely handout, the introduction and overview of Mark 21. This is actually a meme I found a friend sent it to me a few months ago with, hey girl, I'm not usually the jealous type but who is Mark and I just thought that would be a really great way to introduce Mark. What is Mark and how do we use it? So I'm assuming most of you probably had a chance to do the reading. Are there any questions about anything in particular? Okay, I'm not seeing so far. If there are. Okay, someone? Okay, see I'm getting this all figured out right now. I still have interference. Okay, I'm sorry to hear that. Like I said, oh, I still have music playing. I still have interference. Okay, can you guys hear me now? I'm sorry, I don't know this software very well and I did practice some but not a whole lot. And I apologize for that. Well, I guess I'll just kind of go through the reading a little bit. I know talking to someone earlier today that there are there's some confusion about Mark and RDA and having a lot of questions about RDA and so Mark and RDA as you probably know are two different things. RDA has certainly influenced Mark and there have actually been some changes in Mark as a result of RDA. And as we go through the class, we will definitely touch on some of those changes. To me, Mark is the most basic thing that a librarian, especially anyone who's doing any kind of cataloging, can know. Really, for me, I found once I understood Mark that I could really look at a record and really know what was going on. And in fact, when I'm doing research a lot of times, I don't even look at the OPAC record. I have an example, that's not actually the one I wanted. Something like this, I actually will not look at this record like the pretty. I'll actually go and look at the actual Mark record. And oh good, people are saying they can hear me. I can hear you, but there is still music. Yeah, but have the go to, okay. The go to music is still playing. Okay. Like I said, I don't know enough about this to know how that is. Let me um, go to music is still playing. Okay, someone is saying if you are hearing the music, just to log out and then log back in. And that, yeah. So if you want to try that, and then let me know what's going on, okay, we'll do. Okay. Sorry, this is I know very disorganized and I'm kind of rambling here. So anyway, if you've had a chance to go through the reading, you can definitely see how the Mark record really, how people use that Mark record and how the data gets entered. How that really can affect what your patrons are seeing on the front end. You know, they can, you know, whether, and you can see how important it is to kind of get that Mark record correct. And that's something again, we'll touch on more as we go through the different sessions, the different things that you can do that you know, how that information, well not necessarily how the information shows up, but how what you put in can impact what shows up. So what I'm going to do is go back to my class website and I guess what we'll do is we'll just we'll start by going through some of these resources here unless someone's got questions. Oh wait a minute, I do see a question. Oh okay, when I am adding information to the 260 field, I like to use the two state abbreviations, but I know this isn't the correct way to do it. Does it really matter? So there's two different ways to answer that question. In RDA one of the things, one of the goals of RDA, I'm going to pull up RDA right now, the let's see, the tool kit. And so for those of you who may have used ACR2 and had the big binder, I still have my binder anyway, this lays out all the rules or guidelines as they call them for RDA. And one of the things about RDA was to make hopefully records a little more user friendly and to kind of do away with things like abbreviations. And so according to RDA, and RDA offers you a lot of different options. You can, you're supposed to transcribe what you see on the item. And so if for example Nebraska is spelled out, really you should put Nebraska in. However, that's really optional. I mean if you want to do the two letter abbreviation, that's fine.  As I always tell people, you have to do what's right for your library, for your community. And honestly for the most part, whether an abbreviation for a state is spelled out or not, it's really not that important. So I hope that answers your question. It's just one of those things that catalogers really like to obsess about. We're kind of a weird and wacky bunch. If you haven't figured that out already by now. Oh okay, so good. I'm glad I could answer your question. Sorry. So, yeah that's RDA Toolkit and you do have to have a subscription to access this. And I'm glad to see that you're back, Lori. I'm assuming it's better for you. And if you don't, and you don't necessarily need a subscription to RDA Toolkit to if you're just copy cataloging, I shouldn't say just copy cataloging. I do have one. I do go in and check the guidelines a lot if I see something I'm not familiar with or I'm dealing with a format I don't really know a lot about. But I guess what I'll do today, since there don't seem to be a lot of questions about the reading, and so I guess I'm assuming that you guys have all had a chance to do it and understand what Mark is, that basic understanding of what Mark is. There are some great resources out there for helping you if you have questions about Mark, if you want to know more about Mark. As it says in the reading, it is a Library of Congress standard. It's something that they manage and kind of curate. And so right now I've brought up the Mark Standards page that the Library of Congress does manage. And you can see that we have let's do I guess an arrow. Okay, so you can see over here off to the left, like the different formats. There's the Bibliographic, which is what you will use. Authority and then the Mark Code list, like for countries and languages and some of the other stuff we'll get into a little bit later. And there's also if you really want to get into Mark, you can come in and let's see, how do I get rid of that? Go away. So let's just do away with that. And there we go. Okay, so in the general information, you can come in and you can look, there's the frequently asked questions how Mark and RDA play together and all the different changes they've made over the years. All those different updates. And oh, an introductory Mark information up here. And this is not a resource I use a lot personally and here's the Bibliographic. So if you want to go in and learn a lot about how Mark works, like in the 100 field, you can, the 1XX. But like I said, this is not a resource I use a lot. I actually use, let me go back to what I use the most personally is the one that OCLC puts out. But they do. There are bibliographic formats and standards. And this is up while I'm working on records. And I'm constantly in here looking and just verifying things if I'm not sure about the fields or anything like that. Let me go to this. For example, if do we get, okay, yeah, for example, if I'm not sure about a tag number or one of the indicators or the subfield, I will go in and check and make sure that things are right. And I just feel like this is an easier resource to get through and they have a lot of really great examples. For example, if you're really not sure how a name should appear what I like to do is just go through and scroll through until I kind of find something that matches my situation, what I have in hand. And look at this and see how they have it done. And right now I do want to point out that no one expects you to remember all of this. All the names of the fields and the indicators and the subfield and all the technical parts. You feel like at first that you do, but you don't have to. My goal is I always want people to kind of know the lingo, to kind of know the terms a little bit. So when someone mentions like the 100 field, they have a good idea. They know what you're talking about or you know what they're talking about. And you have all these resources out there that you can refer to while you're cataloging, while you're copy cataloging. So a lot of this information here on this page it's more for the computer than it is for catalogers, but it does function as kind of a shorthand. You know, when catalogers get together or when we ask each other questions, we will use, we'll just mention the 264 or the 300 and we're all kind of on the same page and we all know what we're talking about. So it does come in handy then. So let's see. Okay, you guys don't have any questions.  I'm just going to continue kind of rambling on here. Let's see. I know at first Mark can seem, and I've said this, Mark can seem kind of overwhelming at first. How does this all play together? And I think for me what really helped was realizing there are patterns within Mark. And on pages like kind of 10 and 11 really talk about that or 10 talks about that a lot. About for example, a 100. That's essentially kind of the same as a 600 and a 700. It's always going to be a personal name. Or like a 110 and a 710 and a 610. Those are always going to be corporate names. And your physical information, it's always going to go in the 300. And kind of your basic kind of publication information that's always going to go in the 200. And so that brings us down to the fixed fields. And back to this more later on. This is more kind of the fixed fields really can kind of influence what shows up for a patron. Whether it's kind of a text or a map or like a CD. And so this is what it kind of looks like in OCLC on this page. And then you'll see depending on your system, what ILS you use, it really can influence the icons. That's a lot of libraries used for the format. And so if you've got, for example, the wrong type in here, if it's like a CD, well it may not show up as a CD. It may show up as a book over here or a map. And I think for a lot of people that's how they figure out what type, what they want is by looking at this format. And it is, it's a really easy way to know what you're getting. And yeah, oh hey, that's it. That's the end. So let me go back to here. So we've kind of gone through a little bit where you can look if you need to check your mark codes, your mark, the OCLC and the Library of Congress. Let's see, we have commonly used mark tags. And okay, so let me move that over here. And you can see these are just this just shows the fields that you'll probably use a lot that you see a lot and those indicators and what each one means and then the subfields that you will see. And here, one of the things about RDA that RDA did change was that we no longer have the lovely GMD. I know some librarians are really, really attached to the GMD. And I can understand why. It's a quick way of seeing what the item is. But that's been replaced. And we'll, like I said, we'll get into that a little bit more and the next couple of weeks. So again, this just shows you the different, kind of the different fields. And it also gives you a lot of examples. I think when I first started cataloging, I looked a lot at examples. And I still look a lot at examples of how things were done and kind of sorted it out that way. And I don't know if that's how, oh, what is the GMD? Thank you. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm jumping ahead a little bit. But that is a really good question. Essentially, it was a general material designation. And it was just and you'll still see the GMD, the subfield H. You will still see this in older records. OCLC is in the process of going through and deleting. Let's highlight this here. And deleting this from all their records, they will still take records that have the GMD. But it's basically it's kind of your format, your medium and like you might see it, let me let's see, let's go back here. Oh, that moves. Okay, sorry, I'm figuring this out as I go. Let me go into, okay, let's just get rid of that. Okay, there we go. Let's, and I'm back in the OCLC site. Like I said, they have a lot of good examples. Let me see if they've got anything in here with kind of shows you here. Okay, here we go. So you'll see in that main title field that 245, like the title, in this case the green bag, and then next to it, you'll see essentially you'll see the form, that subfield H. And so in this case, it's a microform. If you look at the previous example, it's a sound recording. So it just tells you what the format is. Just a shorthand quick way of saying, oh, okay. And so when you're looking at the actual mark record, it's a really easy way of seeing, oh, okay, this is what this is. And if there's not a GMD, then that meant it was a book. But like I said, it's going away. OCLC is starting to remove it from all its records. But it's okay if you're still using it. I hope that answered your question in kind of a rambly sort of way. Okay. So we'll just move on. I haven't seen a response about whether that answered your question or not. So I guess what we'll do is we'll talk about the assignment that we had for this week. And this week it's kind of a survey just of what you and your library are doing. There we go. Where you get your mark records from? Do you create them? What kind of automated system are you using? Do you edit them? Can you customize? And oh, hey, we have another question here. Okay. Let's see. Okay. Sometimes when I do mark records and my system doesn't already have the records submitted based by the ISBN, what is the best place to get correct records? Often when I look on the Library of Congress or WorldCat I can't find the information I'm needing. Okay. So that is a really, oh, okay. I got another question here, a follow-up. So let me answer, I think it's Rachel. Let me answer Rachel's question first and then I'll go back and finish up with the GMD. Okay. And so Rachel, I think actually I might unmute your microphone because I actually have some questions for you. You can't find the information you're needing. So what information are you needing per se in your record? I just muted myself and now I'm unmuted. Let's see. Oh, it's Rachel. I'm sorry. Okay. Rachel, I've just, yes, you are unmuted. So what kind of information are you looking for in your records, Rachel? Are you just not able to match up the title information or the publication information or the description? Because that can get kind of... Let me see here. Okay. Okay. Because sometimes it can be really difficult to find that record that does match everything you're looking for. And depending on what your library, your policies are for your library, we're bringing in records. Some of the libraries I've worked for, if it's like fiction, it doesn't have to be exact. You can always bring something in, like if it's the copyright or the publication date isn't right or the publisher isn't right. But pretty much everything else is the same. It's the same content. There aren't, I guess, additional things like introductions. You can go ahead and find something that's not necessarily an exact match for a record but is close to what you need. Oh, like where to place and do we? Oh, okay. Like a subfield, okay. Mostly with nonfiction. Nonfiction can be really tricky. And a lot of times what I do is I'll bring in something that's close and go in and make local changes or sometimes things just need to be corrected. We all read Mark a little differently. We all interpret RDA a little differently. So sometimes their interpretation is a little different than my interpretation and so it kind of depends on what your local practices are. And as far as assigning call numbers that's a whole other class. I will give you some advice that a mentor gave me once, which is I will quite often and I do this now is I'll look at if there's something similar like the same subject in the collection. I'll go back and search in the catalog and see if I can't find something similar and put it there because or at least that's a starting point for where to find it in Dewey if you're trying to match numbers in Dewey. And I hope that helps. I had another question. Let me see. I still use the subfield H just didn't know that it had a name. Will my ILS still use it in the future? You know it's really going to depend on what you and your library and your ILS decide what to do. I believe they are still nothing that says you can't use that subfield H and it should still take it. But it is, it's a really good question and it's something I would encourage you to ask about if it's still going to be used as far as I know. Yes, you can still put it in the record and it'll still show up. It's just OCLC is going is doing is not having records that will have that subfield H anymore and I don't create records with the subfield H. Should I use Library of Congress? Oh, I'm sorry. We're back to Rochelle now. Oh, in terms of getting your records or okay. Thank you. And let's see. Yes, and getting them. You can you can get records from Library of Congress. You can get them from if you go into like other library catalogs. You can look at what's there in WorldCat. I've always worked for libraries where we've gotten our records from OCLC and we bring them in in a variety of ways. And when we're searching for those records, typically we do like to do library records that were created by the Library of Congress because they are quote unquote America's library and so they typically the records are of a better quality. And I would say, yeah, those are really good records. I've got a question here from Mary. Oh, it's a comment about there can be the same problem in Library of Congress classification and getting a good number. Yes. Not always sure what to do when you get that item whether it's Dewey or LC or any other system you may be using. And I've used mostly Dewey in my library, my career as a librarian and here at the Library Commission we use LC for some materials. And so I'm always having to look like in our catalog and see, oh, where did we put this? Okay, that looks like it should fit there because and a good way to know is I'll look at the subject headings and if the subject headings are the same or very similar then you're probably getting everything in the right place. Oh, Dewey is easier. Yes, Dewey. I'm a big fan of Dewey and I do love Dewey. This is kind of off track a little bit but I remember when I was a library student in the library and I was doing something like retrieving something and we had just talked about Dewey in one of my classes and I could sit there and see like how Dewey worked, how those divisions how they nested within each other. And for me it was just this very magical moment when I realized I could see how Dewey worked and I've never, I've not had that moment with LC. Maybe I will someday, I don't know. So so anyway back to the assignment and so you with the assignment you can be as brief as you want or as detailed as you want. It's just kind of to give me a better idea of kind of what your experience is with Mark and what you and your library are doing with your Mark records. And so if I see that a lot of people just maybe aren't real sure about editing records or customizing things, maybe those are topics we can touch on a little bit and talk about. And so that's the assignment. That's due next week and next week we will also get into, let's get out of here. Let's we'll start talking about the 200 fields the 2XX fields which is and you can see I've pulled this up on my screen. I'm not going to get too much into this today because I think I've given you a lot of information and I don't want to overwhelm you too much and I know some of you are probably going oh my goodness there's a lot of information, there's a lot to know and how do people remember all of this and and as I said we don't. I don't remember I'm constantly having to look things up. Part of it is I'm horrible with numbers. That's why I went into library science hopefully to avoid working with numbers. Little did I know. So but yeah so the 200s that's kind of what I think of as your bibliographic information, your publisher, your title, the people who are responsible for the creation of your item, kind of the information you might put in like a bibliography is a good way of thinking about that and and so next week I will talk about that was not supposed to be up. I am so sorry that was not supposed to be up okay. Okay sorry about that I did not mean for my email to be up so the next week we'll talk about the assignment that will be due the following week. So so unless there are any more questions or I've hopelessly confused you and I am going to actually let you guys go early this week and thank you so much for being patient with me.  Is there anything before we go is there anything I can do to help you it's okay I'm laughing too. I'm not okay. Okay Mary has a question I'm not sure I understand question 6. Okay thank you. I really appreciate it when you guys ask me questions and have comments for me. I don't feel like I'm talking to myself quite so much. So I'm pulling up that assignment again is it going to come up yes open up it's just slow and I'm impatient okay there we go question 6 does your automated system allow editing customization of the web opac display. Okay so that is actually a good question I can understand why people might not quite understand that so let me let me just go to the Nebraska Library Commission pull up our catalog. So this is what our catalog looks like and let me just find something that I know we have and we can look at that record um oh okay I'm going to get a lot of hits here but excuse me okay so oh I got another okay if I watch next week's class as a recording well yes yes um we do ask that you you do six of the online six of the sessions at least six of them live to get the full credit and have those credits count towards your cataloging certificate and like I said you know my hope for these these sessions are to be kind of question and answer sessions not so much me regurgitating material that you've read I know your time is very valuable and so I really I really want you guys to get as much as you can out of this but if it if we end up going back to where I do PowerPoints and I can definitely go through the material again for you guys that's totally okay but yes Arlene it's okay if you do watch the recording it probably will be a lot like this one very rambly and jumbled but if you have questions you can always email me and I'm always I'm always happy to answer your guys's questions anyway back to the question about number six can our our systems kind of I guess can we customize our settings and what appears so this is the Nebraska library commission catalog and we use Mandarin which is kind of and I'm new and very new as you have gathered and I've said so I don't know how many what are what quite all our options are for what can be displayed but let's click on let's click on this potato study and so you can see this is what we all see on the front end and in terms of what is customizable you know what fields do you want to show up here you can see we have a limited number of fields that show up we have notes your subject headings the description the title publication info and in some systems you can do a lot more you can have a lot more show up let's see let's do actually we're going to go look at Lincoln City libraries and we'll be looking at a different record it won't be the same record but let's go in and library catalog and so they are a Cersei Dynex library and you can see that they definitely have a lot more options just in their initial interface here and let's just go click on this Danielle steel book find in my library and we can see the record and so I have a question over here can any library have access yes you got anyone can access our website go to the Nebraska library commission and then click on NLC catalog up here and you can see what our records look like you can see if we click here let me see and so within your systems you have the ability to decide what you want to show up in that mark record and you can see here that Lincoln City has a lot more that shows up they've got a full summary they've got and a lot of it depends on what is in the record to begin with but they've got some subject heading some genre headings they show the ISBN and of course that that record we looked at in Mandarin doesn't have that I would not have an ISBN let's see again we're going to get a billion in one hits but let me see see here let's see okay this looks kind of governmenty oh good I'm glad that okay Lori I'm glad that we're able to kind of undo some of your confusion or clear clarify some of that a little bit okay so here's something again in this basic record you know you can decide what shows up here depending on what system you have and okay so again this is just a very basic record it pretty much is just this is probably what is more or less in the mark record okay yeah and so I hope this answers the question I think that was Mary that had oh okay if I'm understanding correctly our ILS can be customized but not by me as the local cataloger is that the sort of is that the sort of response you're seeking you know Mary that it's a very open-ended question and if that is the type of if that's really the situation that your vendor can customize things maybe according to your specifications this is just kind of an information seeking tool it's what is going on in your library do you can you customize or do you have to work with your vendor to customize and at some of the libraries I've worked with in terms of customization I'm from Montana originally and worked for several state agencies and we were part of a consortium called the Montana shared catalog and we were all Cersei Dynex libraries and on kind of our record pages here we had we kind of had to go with what the consortium decided as a whole in terms of customization and we might have a wish list of what we wanted to see and our system admins our system administrators in the consortium would then work with Cersei Dynex to either decide if that was going if that could was workable or did we have to give up something and so okay so Mary I think my confusion was that I've not known a library that could do its own customization without going through the ILS vendor I think you can I'm not a systems librarian I'm like to say I'm a good old fashioned cataloger and so I'm kind of guessing here a little bit but I can certainly do a little bit of research I think my understanding is libraries can do a certain amount of customization that it kind of depends on where information is being pulled from in the mark record for example we talked about when I was talking about the GMD earlier and these icons these format icons that show up you know that can be pulled from a variety of sources it can be pulled from within the fixed field and so that's it can be pulled so it just depends on where information is getting pulled from I always encourage people you know ask questions of your vendor you know what if there are things you want changed or you'd like to see changed I know one thing one thing we did have some influence over back in Montana and the shared catalog was kind of the facets over here and what did we want facets to show up and what facets did we want to show up and we actually had to do some behind the scene work when we switched over to Enterprise in our mark records because we were going to have like an endless amount of facets like material types show up and you know so we had to do a little bit of work there I'm really confused participants on this question I don't know you may be you may be the only oh no okay so no you're not and it is it is a tricky question and like I said this isn't necessarily something I know a lot about how to customize like I said I think it's kind of a partnership between the library and the vendor and it's understanding what you can do and if there are things you would like to do can you know talking to your vendor so I don't know if that answers your question or not or if I've just really made things worse it helps okay okay and I will look into that for you guys because that is a really good question about how much customization you can do let's see I think many libraries now utilize cataloging programs that already create those records let's go back oh did I just lose that question okay I'm sorry I just accidentally deleted that question so if you could retype that question I would really appreciate it oh okay okay I'm glad that I was able to clear that up and if you're not sure that's fine you know that that's fine like I said I'm not necessarily sure what I can do here at the library commission I'm just I'm the cataloger and I get the information in there I do I do like to go in a lot of times if I'm not sure how something's going to look on the screen I do like to go in and actually look at it upload the record and look at it because I can do some editing I can edit within Mandarin on the back end and if I think it's if I'm confused by it then I know a patron is going to be confused by it okay I have worked with our vendor to customize but this is helping me to think of more changes I could make good I'm really glad to hear that that is from Diane okay and I hope you guys don't mind that I'm reading your names as these questions come about and okay okay I think many libraries now you know this is the person who I accidentally erased thank you so much I think many libraries are now utilizing cataloging programs that create those records if it is in the consortium so many libraries have a pre yeah I think it was I think that's from okay I wonder okay oh we have another one or maybe that was was that okay anyway it doesn't really matter um yeah um a lot of people work with vendor records depending on how you order your materials and who you're working with and you can get very basic records from the vendors and then go in and if you wish to enhance them add things that like table of contents or summaries or more if you want to go in and do some local practices things like if you want to do subject headings like for specific like if you get a lot of Nebraska stuff and you want to put something in like Nebraska author yeah you can go in and definitely utilize that so thank you how many participants are there today there are 18 out of 20 I did have two people who told me they were not going to be here today and um I capped the cat class at 20 but I think you guys know that and it filled up really quickly so we've got about nine minutes left um I'm just going to kind of summarize what we've talked about we I've showed you a couple of the different resources for using mark OCLC and Library of Congress the help guides they have we've talked about the assignment assignment one kind of the survey and um question six in particular what you can do to manipulate your opac display and show you some examples we've I've also answered some questions about the 260 which is the publishing field and the subfield H and the 245 or the GMD and um I've also probably hopelessly confused people hopefully not too much if you have questions afterwards feel free to email me and I'll do the best I can to kind of unconfuse you and I am going to go and do a little bit of research on vendor displays and customization and what libraries can do and maybe we can get some more answers and next week we're going to be talking about the 200 fields and um I will also talk about the assignment that we'll have and okay that was a good let's see what we have here that was a good beginning thanks well thank you very much um yes so unless there are any more questions or comments um I'm going to let you guys go early today well I guess I don't have to let you kind of come and go as you want and you're welcome I feel better about the good I'm glad I'm really glad and guys there is there you know don't stress too much about this and I know that's really easy for me to say but I remember when I was first learning mark when I went to library school I never really worked in the library I never cataloged and decided hey I want to be a cataloger because these look like really cool jobs I know I'm crazy and so I had no understanding of mark or AACR2 or RDA and it was very overwhelming it was very confusing and um so I remember feeling that way and it's okay it really is is there any a way we can see the other questions and comment you know I don't know I will certainly look into it I think they show up on the recording um oh this is the best explanation of mark that I have ever seen okay Mary um your check is in the mail uh you know just yeah just just bear with me um and and you know ask ask questions and in putting these together every time I've done a training session I've always learned something new about mark or RDA and and so I I learned too um because I have either didn't learn it to begin with didn't think to ask a question or I just was too embarrassed to ask and or just kind of always accepted the practice and so yeah so I will post everything hopefully by tomorrow I do basically as soon as this is over with I'm leaving to go to Grand Island for the pioneer consortium meeting um the library commission we just kind of go as consultants if they have cataloging questions or what not and um since I'm new they want to introduce me and so I will definitely get it up there by tomorrow tomorrow afternoon at the latest and um if the questions are not um a parent like if you can't see them what I will do is I'll go through and transcribe the questions and I will get that posted then to our little class website so you can at least see and they'll be they'll be anonymous I know as in the chat I've said who asked them but I'll make them anonymous so um okay oh I'll be on the phone with you this afternoon looking forward to your intro okay oh okay that's one of the other Alice's okay well um on that note um I am gonna stop recording and yes for scott's bluff I'm part you up co yeah co-hot and that's a system I don't know anything about so Allison I may have a lot of questions for you because I don't know anything about that system um and like I said I'm kind of an old fashioned cataloger I don't necessarily mess around with the system so anyway thank you so much for bearing with me as I struggle to get things posted and make sure the links are that they work and that everyone has the right web address and as we have figured out the software so looking forward to seeing you guys talking to you guys next week no oh okay sorry I'm rambling I have a very bad habit of doing that but um I am looking forward to talking to you guys next week and feel free you know between then and now if you've got questions to email me and um let me know and um yeah next week the 200 fields the 2xx and we'll talk about that assignment and I'll I'll go over or if you guys are interested I can go over the results of this week's kind of um questionnaire so I am now stopping the recording


So this is a dissection of the right side supine cadaver. I'm standing on the right side. My camera person is also on the right side towards the headed. So we have completely opened up the axilla, the right arm, right cubital fossa to show the neurovascular structures in the muscles. So this muscle that we see in front of us, this is the coracobrachialis. This takes origin from the coracod process and it gets inserted onto the major side of the middle of the humerus. This muscle that we see here, this is the biceps brachialis. Incidentally, this is the reflected bactralis major. So come back, this is the biceps brachialis. These are the two heads of the biceps brachialis. This is the short head taking origin from the coracoid process.  And the long head then takes origin from the supraglinoid tubular scapula. And these two then unite from the belly of the biceps and we can see the biceps tendon is coming down here and the tendon is getting inserted here. This is the tendon getting inserted in the cubital fossa on the radial tuberosity. And as it gets inserted, there may be a bursa underneath. At the same time, we can also see that it is giving this aponeurotic expansion majorly which we have cut. This is the major side. And this is the other cut portion of the aponeurotic expansion on this side. This is the biceps aponeurosis. The biceps aponeurosis reinforces the roof of the cubital fossa and also reduces the pressure of the biceps tendon on the radial tuberosity. Once we reflect this biceps, we see the next muscle underneath. This is the brachialis. The brachialis takes origin from the anterior surface of the humerus and it descends down from the floor of the cubital fossa and it gets inserted onto the anterior surface of the coronoid process of the ulna. This is the musculocutaneous nerve that we can see here coming from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus. I have lifted it up. It enters the arm at the point of insertion of the coracobrachialis. And therefore this coracobrachialis muscle is referred to as a landmark muscle because it indicates the location of the entry of the musculocutaneous nerve as well as the site of the nutrient artery to the humerus. The musculocutaneous then supplies the coracobrachialis and then it runs between the biceps and the brachialis as we can see here. And then it supplies both these muscles and then it comes out between the two laterally and it becomes known as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm. If there's injury to the musculocutaneous nerve which is not very common but can happen then there will be paralysis of the flexors of the elbow namely the biceps and the brachialis. However, the patient will still be able to weakly flex the elbow by virtue of the brachioradialis which is supplied by the radial nerve. I want to mention another clinical correlation pertaining to the biceps. The biceps is the two heads. As I mentioned, this is the long head. The long head can rupture in old age due to degenerative wear and tear in which case the rest of the biceps will bunch down here and there will be a hollow in this region when the patient tries to flex the arm and this is referred to as pop-eye deformity which can be seen in certain people in old age. This is the clinical picture of a patient that the author tended to showing pop-eye deformity. The next muscle that we can see here in the cubital fossa is this one here. This is the pronator tiris. This forms the infromedial boundary of the cubital fossa and this muscle that we see here, this is the brachioradialis which forms the infromedial boundary of the cubital fossa. So, having mentioned these muscles, now let's take a quick look at the neurovascular structures. Let's start with the superficial most vein that we can see here which we have preserved very carefully. This vein that we see here, this is the cephalic vein. This is formed on the radial side of the arm, forearm and as it ascends up, it runs in the delta pectoral groove, namely the groove between the deltoid and the pectoralis major. This is the deltoid muscle. Then it goes through the delto-pectoral triangle or the gliby-pectoral triangle and pierces the gliby-pectoral fascia or the costa-corocate membrane and it opens into the axillary vein and we can see that here. As it's running up, it gives the communication across the groove of the cubital fossa which we can see here. This is the median cubital vein which communicates with the basalic vein and that we can see here very clearly. This is the basalic vein which runs on the medial side of the arm. This basalic vein then runs up and it unites with the vena commitantes of the brachial artery and it ultimately forms the axillary vein which we can see here. This basalic vein is accompanied by this nerve which we can see here. This is the medial cutaneous nerve of the arm and further down it is the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm and we can see it is coming out from the medial or the brachial plexus. While we are talking about the nerves accompanying the superficial vein, let me mention that the semantic vein is also accompanied at part of the distance by this nerve here. I have reflected the brachyceps to show this nerve here. This is the terminal part of the muscular cutaneous nerve. Muscular cutaneous nerve after it is supplied, the coraco brachialis, the biceps and the brachialis, we can see it is running between the two and then it becomes cutaneous and it becomes known as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm and in this place it is accompanied by the sabalic vein. The clinical significance of this is that this vein is quite often used by the nurses and other people for venisection and venipuncture and in so doing, if there is extravagant of blood, it can produce irritation and numbness tingling peristicia along the distribution of this lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm, which is the terminal branch of the muscular cutaneous nerve. Likewise, the spatial vein is also used for many sections. If there is extravagant of blood, it can produce irritation of the medial cutaneous nerve of the arm and the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm. Now let's take a look at other structures in the cubital fossa. Going from medial to lateral, we have this structure here. This is the medial nerve and we can see that the medial nerve is found in the axilla by the lateral root of the medial nerve and the medial root of the medial nerve, coming respectively from the lateral cord and the medial cord and the two unite to form the medial nerve. The medial nerve initially is lateral to the axillary artery. It then crosses in front and then it becomes medial to the brachial artery in the cubital fossa. Up to the medial nerve, we have the next structure here. This is the brachial artery. The brachial artery is the continuation of the axillary artery. We can see this muscle here. This is the teres major. So therefore, after the teres major, the axillary artery becomes known as the brachial artery and my finger is tracing it. This brachial artery runs just lateral to the medial nerve in the cubital fossa. These two structures, the medial nerve and the brachial artery, can be injured in supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children as well as anterior dislocation of the elbow, which is also quite common in children, in which case we have to reduce them immediately. Otherwise, there will be jeopardization of the blood supply and or the nerve supply to the still part. This is the next way to show anterior dislocation of the humerus. This is likely to injure the neurovascular structures of the cubital fossa. The next structure I have already mentioned is the tendon of the biceps. And finally, if I retract the brachioradialis, we can see this nerve here, which I am going to lift up now. This nerve. This is the radial nerve. The radial nerve comes from in front of the lateral epicondyle and here, under the brachioradialis, it divides into a superficial division which runs under the brachioradialis and the deep division, which we can see continuing here. This is the deep portion of the radial nerve, which supplies not only the brachioradialis, but it also supplies the muscles on the extensor aspect of the forearm. Therefore, in the cubital fossa, the structures from medial to lateral are medial nerve, brachial artery, the biceps tendon and the radial nerve. Supia boundary is an imaginary line joining the medial epicondyle, where my right index finger is located and the lateral epicondyle, where my left index finger is located. This is supia boundary. Infromedial boundary is the proentoterias and the infrolateral boundary is the brachioradialis. This median nerve, as it progresses down, it goes through the two heads of the proentoterias, namely the humeral and the ulnar head, where it can get entrapped to produce the condition known as pronator syndrome, where the patient will have pain in the cubital fossa and numbness and tingling in the distribution of the medial nerve. These are some of the clinical correlations pertaining to the arm and elbow. That's all for now. Thank you very much for watching.

So if you only want to make it to YouTube you gotta let me win the game. That's all I'm saying If you win the game Then what's gonna happen is we're just gonna delete it and delete the past broadcasts and everything Who's in Tampa Bay? But really I mean it's about it's about using the The bad plays you know or the regular plays like for verse mixing that up doing hot rounds with that verticals out of bunch stuff like that Who has the 96 overall guard? I like it. Well, this is why they watch up to 7-0. Nothing. I already Baby dots baby dots. Oh, that's such a big that's a touchdown I What are you talking about what was lucky about the like and you gave it up it was wide open it wasn't even a hard pass my Any other mode that's covered.  That's a died Check what was lucky about the drive chat?  You don't have anybody to put there That's why I'm just told you You got to have somebody with 90 speed the user.  Thank you methodical. That's what I'm saying.  Well, you could use her any black player in the game. It's your fault Oh, we just didn't bump we just didn't bump him at all. Who do you got? Who is that? Allen Robinson Any other mode check any other mode? Any other mode we have 99 day on there.  Let me see who's team.  You don't have a tight end.  Oh, why are you using me?  They worried about you. They said the chats worried about you We're trying to get you ready You just bagged the last drive. I was cool taking three That's why the chat that's why we drafted offensive line. Well, can we please come out? There was no easy stops out there said did y'all see any stops out there But you didn't have the right. All right.  My play you it's just like, okay stop here No way You don't block anybody Stand in the pocket. You can't back up against his defense. You have to trust it now.  How is that lucky?   Woof now seriously You better play turn you can't put the ball in the middle of the field like that I mean this is gonna get dark early Woo, I You gotta make plays on defense kid. You gotta make some plays on defense kid at more twice He only got one stop.  Well, you got something better than that You can't have something you gotta have something better than Pat sale. What? So you get some draft in Eli's athlete shirt 40 seconds on the clock the only reason he got close to the stop. Well, I'm shooting 50% right now Actually, I'm shooting you you had the ball three times and I stopped twice I'm shooting 50% chat Septimus Prime, man That's Earl Thomas, baby Earl Thomas, baby. It's Earl Thomas, baby. That's Earl Thomas, baby Put that down kid. Put that down kid. Put that down kiddo Welcome to the party kiddo You're terrible.  What are you doing? I'm sitting in cover. What am I sitting in covers? What? Bag nobody's open. Woo Nobody's open. Woo Nobody's open. Eli ain't it. Woo And y'all played well Caleb y'all played well kid I'm back. He just said I'm back for tech. He sent out everybody Yeah, so we're just really now on the same level, man Uh, Tappy Chan, Tappy Chan, Woo. Tappy Chan Knocker, I'll tell you what I gotta go. I'll tell you what I gotta go. I'll be back. I'll be back. No, we can play all night No, for real, we can play all night if you want to, but I gotta go. I'm gonna take my mom on the dinner lunch I told you I had one of me GG's in the chat for the Woo, man. YouTube, man. Hit the like button Comment on what mode Siwu can beat me at because it's damn sure not this mode and comment on When you're in draft champions, man, what who do you like the user man? Siwu's a user in a 78 speed linebacker and he's mad at me Never put the losses on youtube YouTube we will listen. I'm gonna upload this as I go get lunch Talk to your family. Never talk to them. Have fun Like I said, man, hit the like button when I get this this video to 100 likes. We're gonna play Woo again


So the normal first-time PC builder usually takes an entire day or the entire weekend to build their first computer So in this video, we're gonna see how fast an enthusiast like me can get one done Today's video is sponsored by NordVPN. Now for those of you that don't have a VPN You really need to have one. For those of you that don't know VPN stands for virtual private network And what it does is it helps protect you when you use the internet If you don't use one you leave yourself open to any malicious person who wants to get a hold of your data and information I have had a friend of mine have his identity stolen online and to be honest It wouldn't have happened if he had a VPN it also wouldn't have happened if he was not going on websites He shouldn't have been on but yes a VPN could have prevented that now There are other uses to a VPN for example Let's say hypothetically You are a person who is suffering from something called article 13 and you already know that your internet experience is being Dramatically censored and the only way around that would be to use a VPN. Anyways, Nord VPN is hooking us up with a special offer They are giving you 75% off of a three-year plan. That's available at Nord VPN comm slash Christopher I have the link on screen as well as in the description. So go ahead and check that out Please trust me. You do need a VPN The rules are simple as soon as I start the timer I'm gonna try to put this computer together as fast as I can and it officially counts as built once we see a post on a Monitor I'm trying to speedrun this computer build similar to how Jays2Sense did it for those of you who don't know who Jays2Sense is You probably live under a rock He's one of the biggest computer PC tech youtubers out there and he also has a video similar to what I'm doing right now So I figured what better opportunity on a day where I don't have a lot of time to time myself So we're gonna try to do the same thing that Jay did where we have for the most part the rest of the parts box But the case will start off unboxed He built his computer in just over an hour So we are gonna try to beat that time now obviously this isn't an apples to apples comparison because we are using different parts Than what he used but this will still give a pretty good idea of how fast I am also to make this a little bit more Interesting not all of these parts are brand new this graphics card came used in an Amazon return box And this motherboard actually came from a fan for free However upon giving it to me he told me that he actually fried his processor doing some weird Overclocking in this so both of these parts. I'm not entirely sure if they work So while I might finish this build correctly and get a really good time There's no guarantee that it's gonna work. So now that you got up to speed. Let's quickly go over the parts So the first two parts we're gonna be talking about are the case and the power supply for the power supply We have a pure power 11 which is a 600 watt gold rated power supply from be quiet and our case is a dark base pro 900 also from be quiet for our ram We have 16 gigabytes of RGB trident z which is made by G skill and it is clocked at 3,000 megahertz speed which actually works really well because of our processor our CPU is going to be a Ryzen 7 2700 the non x variant which is an incredibly powerful processor and has eight cores 16 threads and can handle just about anything you would want to throw at it now for the cooler This does actually come with a stock Wraith cooler However, I wanted to make this look a little bit nicer So we do have a Wraith prism that we're gonna be using instead of the traditional stock cooler for our graphics card We have an RTX 2070. This is the aces rock Strix variant is an amazing looking card And obviously it performs very well too. I just I hope that it works and for our motherboard We are gonna be using a rock Strix B 450 f motherboard It is not the most powerful motherboards doesn't come with a ton of features But it does look somewhat nice And you know what we're still matching by going with the rock Strix versions and then lastly for our drive We are using an m.2 SSD. It is 120 gigabytes from Pioneer. Yes They mainly make audio equipment, but this was a really cheap $20 drive. So I figured I'd go ahead and pick it up So now that we've gone over all the parts without further ado, let's get started Hold up. This thing actually looks so clean.  So before you start touching the cases, make sure you reground yourself Go touch something. I'm gonna go do that really quickly so that I don't fry any of the parts All right Oh, there's already thermal paste on it. I'm cheating. Let's go. I Can't see the triangle. I'm going blind. I'm actually choking under pressure. Holy. Oh I need tissues and tissues space Wait, it doesn't have the back all the brackets. This is ruining my time We're improvising. I refuse to pause the timer because I am a trooper. I can overcome this It's not coming off The transplant, let's go. Oh Please tell me this is the same dimensions.  We're back Why did no one tell me that I was screwing the brackets the other way? I'm just gonna go second and Screw it in the case now. Oh, no, no, no and that to end up to I need my small screw Why did I have my tools prepared? Why did no one remind me? I am a big boy.  I cannot find the hole. Is that my screw? Wait, I found it I found it We'll clean that up later. Wait a second. This case is actually so much more complex than I thought Don't turn around just don't turn around don't turn around the timer's not there No one's gonna judge you if you don't finish under an hour just yourself and your parents and everyone on YouTube Your future girlfriend. Don't laugh at me. Don't say future girlfriend was funny I'll get her one day and if I can't get her organically. I'm sure there's enough money. I can pay someone What's next?  I'm be honest with you right now this No, no, that's that's not slim thick. That's not gonna fit in there. How does it get in there? This part come up is the front on God. This is the most Great case. I've ever worked with thanks be quiet. So in hindsight, this was not the case to speed building I'm just gonna start getting these in while I wait.  It's a total of five screws to get the shroud out You have got to be kidding me. They put five screws the fifth one. You can't even touch. What if I do this?  Oh Right here like this. I cannot reach in and screw the other two bottom screws down So you guys are just gonna give me a little winky face because we both acknowledge that I'm not I don't need to do that We're gonna start threading our cables through Yes, yes, okay CPU cables in I Need to put the graphics card in I'm pretty sure that's it. Is that it? Come on. Come on. Come on.  This card is thick. Okay. There's Eight minutes left. I think I could get the the computer to power on with the bill be done No, but I could get the computer to power on. Oh, come on.   Am I gonna get this? Okay, oh don't choke you come so far don't choke. Where's the power button on this thing? Where's the power button? No wait, can I short-circuit it? Would it still go?  Was it a Connection it's functioning. You could see it. It's functioning.  What was it? So the computer is not turning on but there's clearly power going through the motherboard But there are certain things that are happening in here right now that lead me to believe that the motherboard probably is Dead, but certain parts of it are still functional So I did finish this in under an hour. All right, the proof is there But just to figure out whether or not it really is the motherboard I'm gonna go ahead and swap out another b450 board that I have lying around and we'll figure out what this actually is Okay, I've switched out the motherboard. I put all the parts back in Only took about two We're at the two hour mark. All right, let's see please say psych So after 16 hairs have been pulled out of my eyebrow and about a handful of hair of my head has been sent onto the ground I I cannot figure out what is wrong with this computer for the life of me I'm gonna blame it on myself. This was a trial run. Okay, if you don't like the ending of this video I apologize, you know my bad but I did have it done in an hour and What we're gonna do is we're gonna try this again in the future But we're gonna do it better than an hour. We're gonna one up our time. Okay, this is not the end We will be back. This is not over. All right, so before the video ends. Thank you guys again so much for watching I really appreciate it. I have to remind you guys one more time The video is sponsored by Nord VPN seriously if you use the internet you need to get what they are offering links are in the Description for their product Nord VPN comm slash Christopher you go ahead and check it out and again. Thank you guys so much I hope you have an incredible day


If you look at any nice, can you talk about how you folks are helping? You can talk about either your solutions or how you guide, help users and you set big enterprises as well to deal with this complexity. Within the NNINES platform, there are several active areas of development. If, and obviously we're utilizing, you know, Kubernetes as a primary framework to build new generation products. So one of the problems we see is, how do you, how do you represent organizational units of a large client? We could call them business units or development teams or tenants, if you want to. So that's one of the first things is, how do you, how do you say, well, this is a department and this department has a team and this team has let's say half a dozen dozen Kubernetes clusters for various purposes. And you would like to be able to restrict their access and management of a certain number of users to that particular tenant. And ideally, without using infrastructure means. So of course you can set up a hierarchy of AWS accounts if you're in AWS. But one of our mantras at NNINES is to be in a healthy relationship with the underlying infrastructure, which means not to depend on their tooling too much. You know, take the commonalities but shy away from those vendor specific constructs wherever possible, especially if they're provided by the infrastructure vendor and there's no alternative. Let's say on another infrastructure or the alternative is vastly different. So tenant management is one. And also, when if you think about the Cloud Foundry ecosystem and the idea to centralize application development in order to gain efficiency, especially operation efficiency where I still believe Cloud Foundry is absolutely stunning. Then you also have that concept of a marketplace. And I spoke to many clients and I also spoke to many developers and there's a confusion about the term what marketplace is and what its purpose is. So in Cloud Foundry, it basically serves two purposes. First, it enumerates the backing services available to consume from your application. So you could, let's say, create a database through the marketplace. So it's about browsing and discovering your options. But then it's also about provisioning it and to a certain degree, configuring it, let's say by choosing service plans which could boil down to certain configurations or virtual machine sizes of, let's say, your database. So if you think about a large enterprise using Kubernetes at scale, having such a marketplace, telling the developers of individual departments which tools they can choose from is also something that needs to be covered. But there are some tools going into that direction, but some of them don't seem to be contemporary. So what we are going to release possibly also as an open source framework is a framework to build a marketplace. Well, obviously it will be easy to download metadata for any nine products. But you could also import data from AWS or GCP or any other provider. So that developers within large organizations can discover the tools that have been cleared by platform operations or the platform managers within an enterprise to choose from. So marketplace, that's more like that exploration part. But then you also want to be able to provision and maybe do lifecycle management beyond using an API. So something like a generic AWS console as an open UI framework. So what we are going to do is release that UI framework. So we'll be able to do white labeling. It will be able to write components for each cloud service you want to integrate in that console. And the marketplace will also be built on the same UI framework. So they will go together very, very nicely. And it will address the problem on make a service discovery within the organization of a client much simpler.


I was born just a couple miles south where my folks lived. I've been here my whole life. My dad didn't like farming all that much. We were more cattle oriented and he was always kind of cussing some of the ground we farmed. It was pretty marginal land and said this should be sowed down. We got three great kids. We've tried to raise them to appreciate the land, appreciate what we have, what God has given us, and to really work hard for everything that they have. It's not about how many cows you can graze on an acre of ground. It's more about the health of the grass, the health of the soil, the sustainability of our resources. Over the years we've become more and more focused on that and that's really helped us to improve our operation, to improve our bottom line. The health of our grassland is what enables us to produce the pounds of beef that we produce. We have different fenced in areas for our cattle. We let them graze in a certain area. We know when to take it out by a measurement of the grass. So we'll move our cattle, just open a gate, and move them 100 yards to another area. That'll allow this grass that we were just on to regrow, get a better root system. It'll allow maybe some other varieties of good grass or forbs or legumes to establish. That's the concept behind rotational grazing. Some of the management that we've done has brought back our native plant community. You know, some early spring grazing on some land that we didn't even realize had much of a native population anymore. Now later on in the summer is showing those natives and showing the native forbs coming back. Just the timing of our grazing has really made a difference. The loss of our native grasslands really impacts us on a global scale. It maybe isn't as headline news as the loss of the rainforest, for example, but it's as impactful. The breaking of land in the Dakotas alone has skyrocketed in the past couple of years due to some of the crop commodity prices. We need to remember that this land was native grassland when we first inhabited it. That serves a huge purpose in our global ecosystem. We need to keep that in mind when we are talking about feeding the world but also maintaining those native grasslands. They're so important. I'm really hoping in future generations that we will have done our job to give them more than what we started with. It'd be fun for my grandkids later on down the road to have good land and soil and water, and I guess that's my main goal.


Thank you. So good morning, everyone. I would like to start. Thank you all for coming. It's quite earlier today. But let's start talking about WP CLI. Does everyone here knows this tool already? No? OK. So it's basically a command line interface for WordPress. You can, possibly, all the things you do on your dashboard by using this command line tool. It's a powerful command line tool. This is from their site, you know? It's a powerful command line interface for WordPress, which allows you to handle almost everything that an administrator would be. It runs an MIT license. It's quite good. And I would like to start by listing some kind of things that I'm doing every day using this tool. It's kind of download, install, update, and manage WordPress. Install, activate, deactivate themes, plugins. Install, activate language. Manage Chrome events. Manage attachments. Database. Perform basic database operations. Publish posts. Sounds strange. Publish posts using the command line tool. But it's quite useful. User management. This is quite useful on a day that you need to add even update a password on command line tool. So you don't need to go inside a dashboard to create or update an user. So you can add, remove, update load users from a CSV file, which is useful when you need to migrate sites. The requirements to use WordPress SQL I, it's pretty much that all we have now on hosting. It's an Unix-like environment. They have support for Siegwind, but please do not install Windows and run PHP or anything else. It runs on PHP 5.3 or later and WordPress 3.5.2 or later. If you install this version, 3.5.1, it will not run. OK, so I'm going to show you some pages that you see, comments, just to make sure you all get this. So to install, it's pretty easy to install WordPress CLI. You just need to download a file, run this file using those two arguments, and then just turn it around, enable, move it to your path location, and voila. You have WordPress CLI running on all your Unix-like environments. First things first, to download, it's quite handy, these two, to download. You can go ahead, use your path to your site. This is based on an nginect stack, so the var slash www dash slash your site. You just need to run wp core download. It will go there and download your WordPress, the latest version always. Then you just need to configure. What does that mean? It will create your wp dash config dot PHP using those arguments. It means that you need to have your database already set up. You need to have your password. The next one here, car install, will install your system using the URL, title, user, email, and password. This is great because you don't need to use the first user as admin here. You can change it. You can use anything. So you don't need to go into your dashboard and then create a new user and then erase the admin user. To update your WordPress as well, this is how you can downgrade. To downgrade WordPress, site's not so easy with all these two. But using WordPress CLI, you just need to use wp core update, which using just this part, we will update to the latest version. It's needed for the freed, outdated. So to downgrade, you just need to put this argument version equals the version you would like to have it downgraded. And then put the force here. This will actually downgrade your WordPress version. It's not recommended, of course. But if you want to, you can. And then the last one, car update DB. Even if you include the core update, you might need to run the update DB. So customers don't need to go there and wait the process of database update. With WPCLI, you can manage the themes without going to a dashboard or even downloading a zip file to install on your system. Here are all the possible arguments. But I will show you the basic ones. To search themes, it's quite useful. So you can use these arguments and put here the slug. So you will have here some great informations about the theme. In this case, Glades, the slug, name, and rating on WordPress.org. Then to install a theme, it's pretty easy. Only need to change the search to install. But the slug, and it will download the theme. And then you will have this theme on your system. You can, of course, activate this theme here on your command line. So you're seeing that you don't need to go into your dashboard to do anything. You can also combine the dash, dash, activate here. And then it will download and automatically activate the theme. So to list the themes, you can use these arguments, wp theme list. It will list all your themes installed in your system. It will also show you if there is an update of iLabel, which is quite handy if you are going to make some maintenance on this site. You know, keeping themes outdated, it's a huge security risk for your site. So you can see here, and then you can activate, perform the status. Status is not so useful. It will only show you the author of theme. You can also update a theme. You can also use an update here. So just make sure you get it. The theme activate will change from the full theme to your brand new installed theme, just like this. It's quite easy. To remove a theme, you might need first off activate another theme. So before the letting, it will not allow you to let a theme already activated, still activated. So you need to activate another theme and then the let. It will deactivate the theme, and also will remove it completely from your system. If the theme has been properly coded, it will also remove all the things on your database as well. Just like the themes, you can run almost all the same things using the four plugins. It's very, very cool. You can search just like this using a keyword, and then you will see almost all the plugins. It's 1,000, more than 1,000 plugins with this keyword. And here is another great trick. You have this arguments dash dash fields, which you can use on almost all the things you can list to choose the fields you would like to have on your screen. The fields name are mostly the same name on your database, the database fields. And you also can set the per page results, because it's 1,000, more than 1,000. So showing a little bit less results is nice. And again, the list, this is the full version of list without using the fields arguments. It's also show you if there is an update, the version, and if it's active and inactive. So to install plugins, the same thing that on themes. You don't need to worry so much. You just need to run WPPlugin install and use this lug. Using this lug will download the plugin and it will install. Just like on themes, you can combine it with dash dash activated. And then it will activate your plugin automatically. And again, with that WordPress CEO now installed. And here is, I think, the most useful argument that's update plugins on WordPress CLI. So you know that the plugins normally breaks almost every site. Anyone here probably had the site messed up.  You need to download the plugin and upload it via FTP and then extract. And then the site will be fixed. So using WordPress CLI, you can both update one plugin or you can run this dash dash all. And you will update all the plugins on your site using just one comment. Think about it on a huge server that has 10, 20 sites. It's pretty easy to update tons of plugins and a ton of sites just combining a bash script. You can run one line to update all your sites. And here is another great trick. It's the filtering options on WordPress CLI. You can use here a name of field here. It's update. You could be using version or status. But on plugins, of course, the update is great to use. So using WordPress CLI plugin list, the name of field dash dash update equals a variable. It will bring you only the plugins that has an update of a variable. You can also change here by status and use only for inactive or active plugins. And here again, just using two fields. So this applies to almost all the comments on WordPress CLI. It's pretty useful when you need to build some bash script to automate your job. Now, talking about language, you can list the language. Again, using the fields arguments, you can download, install, activate just like the same as themes and plugins. It's pretty easy. You can list your events. You can do anything regarding to your event. So you can list. You can schedule. You can delete. It's very nice. While you are going to manage your WordPress site, sometimes when migrate content from one site to another, you see some files that are available on your media gallery and other aren't. So this is quite useful to bring all those images that aren't present on your media gallery to your site back. Here is just one line script to bring all the contents on uploads directory. So you can see here that this file wasn't added. So you can see that there weren't the thumbnails generated. And so you can just run WP media regenerate. And it will regenerate the thumbnails and also bring all those images to your media gallery easily, very, very fast. Here's one of the my preferred things to do using WordPress CLI. While you are needing to perform some database interactions on your WordPress, using MySQL command line, you need to understand where exactly is the database. You need to know the password. But using WordPress CLI inside the directory, you just need to run WPDB CLI. And then it will automatically opens the MySQL CLI.  You are on that database for that site and nothing else. So you will not mess it up in another database or another site.  This is another thing very nice is the optimize. This is the same of MySQL check. If I'm not wrong, it will run the optimize, just like the dash dash optimize on SQL. To export data, again, this is pretty useful. You can export data, import data, run queries, show the tables, reset your database, and run a search and replace. This is very nice when you are migrating sites. It's always a pain to run this search replace. Using WordPress CLI, it's very easy. You can also use the WordPress options to get some options on WP options table. And you can list them using get. You can set them. You can also set using the update. Users, you can list users, create, list using the same thing. You can flush your cache. You can also flush your transients. You can also delete all them. The rewrite is also another useful to change your slug, and then the flush just to make sure it's working. You can list posts. You can create a post. This is not so earlier notice. It's just because the WordPress, when it moves to the 4.4, the WordPress CLI has incompatibilities, but you don't need to worry with this right now. Okay, people, so anyone here has questions?


Yeah, we're continuing with Cricket here on the Sports Mac Zone on this Friday, Cricket Weston is CWI and the Weston is players association WIPA signed a new memorandum of understanding inside the Sports Mac studios in Kingston, Jamaica on Thursday evening. The major provisions include improved prize money and match fees at the regional and international levels including for women cricketers to achieve parity with the men by October 2027. Issues concerning no objection certificates for players and the potential both CWI and franchises to award multi-year contracts. Cricket Weston as president Dr Kishore Shallow has embraced the partnership that he believes will enhance the game and reward excellence. Cricket is undeniable and this is not blindfold optimism by any means and today I present to you some of the reasons why I share that sentiment which has been echoed by many across the region. Over the last few months we have been engaged at Cricket Weston with negotiations with WIPA, Weston is players association to chart the course for a more inclusive and result-oriented approach in a memorandum of understanding. I can report that we conclude these negotiations no different that we started months ago with the best interest of cricket at heart and so I'm delighted to share with you five of these and later on you will hear from President Wave and Heinz who would elaborate on some of these. One enhanced team price money and individual player rewards potential for multi-year retainers contract. Increase men's match fees retention policy for overseas domestic tournaments and of course some city best for last equality for women's cricketers in our region. These provisions underscore commitment to creating an environment where players strived and Weston East Creek continues to shine on the global stage. I'm quite happy to say that we still not we do not conclude here as Cricket Weston East and WIPA but we will continue to work effortlessly to update the following framework fitness and conditioning selection policy and NSEs as we embark on this transformative journey for Cricket Weston East. Yes and the Weston East players association president Wave and Heinz who played 45 tests and 119 one-day internationals for the Weston is stretch the stress the inclusive nature of the process that led to the final document. Here of our players are important the rights and benefits of our players are important and certainly we did not come to an agreement without the involvement of our esteemed players. We have a player advisory committee led and chaired by Barbeid former Barbeidist captain or maybe still captain of the Barbeidist team Ms. Shakira Selman who is also a director of the Weston Displays Association want to thank her and our team for their contributions. Captain Hailey Matthews made her contribution in a very significant way and so did Captain Ravman Powell. So we had an all-inclusive approach where we had members from the AGM the last and our general meeting in Antigua who have nominated their respective supporting groups from the player group to join us at a negotiation table. We're looking forward to this there are different increases in the different bands which most players are likely here and we are also very grateful that in what we're doing we're also about gender equality and gender equity and as such we have managed to craft an agreement that will see between 2024 to 2027 where our women cricketers will be on par with the men in terms of their the payment so it is indeed a great time for the Weston Displays Association it is a good time for Weston this cricket and we also look forward to making sure that from the regional level up we're doing so to go with that for regional women we are looking to have at least six women contracted as professionals at a regional level and we look to to grow those numbers in a very incremental as we get to the end of the contract at the MOU in 2027 so yeah all that happening live in the Sportsmax Studios on Thursday evening the CWIC CEO Johnny Grave spoke about the huge rewards for individuals and teams. Yeah I think all the sort of the headlines from this deal are remarkable they are historic I think we've we've got over the period of the next four years a framework to pay you know upwards of 2.5 million US dollars to our international players in prize money and a similar amount for the for the regional players as well so there's a real focus that we put on this in terms of rewarding performances we want to have a structure where the best players who perform individually and collectively benefit the most and so the move towards increased prize money the move to reward players who get into the starting 11 rather than just sort of coast in squads has all been part of a strategic move to make the system tougher reward performances and get a real focus on winning. Yeah so it was a great evening in the Sportsmax Studios on on Thursday some technical issues prevented us from having a live show with it but great to have these decision makers in our studios yesterday talking about some important projects. Yeah and I think it's a really positive move it's a good way forward especially for the men and women cricketers for me you know because Krishna is a part of the Windy's women set up I'm always looking forward to see what's happening with the woman you know I'm always championing to ensure that the ladies get the same opportunities as the men and I'm always very vocal about that like it's no secret so yesterday to see the different advancements that will be taking place I know the ladies are very very happy because I had a conversation with my sister about it and I was like she was breaking it down to me as to what exactly would the benefits be for them and they're very happy you know they feel as if finally they're getting to some sort of equality and I think it's a good feeling I know Cricket West Indies they are working to ensure that in time the ladies will be getting equal payment just like the men so it's going to take some time but I know the ladies are very satisfied and they're looking forward to these advancements. Yeah as when Lewis the Honorary Secretary of the West Indies Players Association pointed out they had robust discussions with Cricket West Indies so there was a certain level of unity that we saw yesterday when all the gentlemen were here but as Wayne Lewis sort of pointed out or as Wayne Lewis pointed out they had some serious discussions they did not always agree on everything of course which you would expect at the negotiating table having said that I'm happy to hear Mariah say that the women Cricketers are quite happy with the provisions here in the document I hope as well that the male players for the most part will be pleased as well with what has come out of this MOU there are a few of the things that really strike me Lance and Mariah one of them and I put the question to waiver Heinz is the retainer contract so all retainers will be on hold once that NOC is issued for an overseas domestic franchise tournament I try to get further details or specifics or give specific scenarios Mr. Heinz kind of stepped away from that he didn't want to go into that which I can understand but that is that is quite interesting because now for the first time a player who is contracted to Cricket West Indies could still potentially request and get a no objection certificate but what would happen in a situation like that is that they would not be paid by Cricket West Indies in that period so that for me is an interesting development and I just want to add before we wrap of course there's room for improvement but for me where the ladies are concerned and I'm just speaking in relation to that aspect of the MOU it's a step in the right direction because we heard from them saying you know the minimum fee that the ladies would receive when they now started to play cricket for me it's a big step in the right direction of course there's always room for improvement and with time I'm hoping that whichever cricket West Indies body um takes the place of this one right now in years to come they can have something substantial to build on and that's so important yeah and I would just like to emphasize though that we want to have a robust West Indies players association because the fallout from the India boycott in 2014 had triggered a departure of a lot of the international cricketers from the West Indies players association and over time we would like to get from Messers, Lewis and Heinz the the percentage and the volume of current international players who are actually a part of Weeper because we did say we did see a decade ago where a lot of the international players had had left Weeper and Weeper would not have been representing a huge chunk a lot of the senior players senior players yeah so I'm hoping that in the future we will be seeing the players embracing Weeper and its relationship with cricket West Indies so there can be harmony going forward as we try to rebuild West Indies cricket we go to break still more to come on the sports max on back in a moment


Hey guys, Thundee here and welcome to another video. This one is one you guys have asked for. This is of course the best gaming TV to get in 2022. Now I haven't checked out all TVs, but here are some of the ones that I really like. I'll start off with the Sony X19K. Now I have the 65 inch version and what you see here with this TV is one that fits in a couple of categories. Price point, it's under $1,000. This is a mini LED full array TV and yes it is not an OLED or a QD OLED but this TV packs in a lot of great features. You've got two HDMI 2.1 ports. I've got the Sony XR processor and you've got calibration for the PlayStation 5.  This TV works in sync with that. It's got Google TV built in together. It's a very light TV to set up and put around within your home. So I definitely like it for that and I think it's absolutely solid. So the Sony X90K is my very first TV and if you're getting 55 inches, actually $800. So price point, it's really good. Now my second TV is actually a group of televisions. I'm talking here about Samsung 2022 and 2021 TVs. You're saying okay, that's a whole category. Not all the TVs but it does fit in for one particular reason. The reason I'm mentioning this is because Samsung has their gaming hub which will be available on all 2022 TVs and 2021, between the certain category. Now, if you look at something like this Samsung QN90A from last year, that will be updated to have the Samsung hub. So you have access to GeForce Now, Xbox Game Pass as well as also Stadia while it's still around. Giving you the ability of course to use all the great features from that TV from last year, this year being able to connect and play game streams directly or even something like the 2022 Samsung frame TV which I do have that supports that feature as well and it's great to see if they're being able to just connect to your Xbox controller or any controller really that supports Bluetooth connectivity and start gaming from your TV. That really is a great experience which means you don't have to upgrade your TV having all the Samsung TV from 2021. You can use it now to gain and that's my key gaming feature here for this TV. Now next up is the Samsung QBOLED. Now this is Samsung's first OLED TV I so like to call it and this is one of my favorite TVs of the year. In terms of picture quality and color volume, it does really the best in my opinion and I really like the way this TV actually handles. For each of my 2.1 ports, you've got of course support for all your gaming features in terms of 120 Hertz, it does have a game hub as well on that TV and images look bright and vibrant. Everything runs pretty well on this TV. I love the functionality altogether which makes it one of my best TVs of the year to actually game on and I think once you see this TV in person, you really like it plus the price point has dropped a little bit and it's pretty much the best price QD OLED TV you will find on the market and it makes it very tempting to pick up. And now my next television is the LG C2 OLED. Now I do have the Star Wars Edition which has a couple of cool features but honestly, this TV almost takes the cake. It has every single feature, HDR, gaming, supervision, gaming, all that fun stuff built into the TV. It is absolutely impressive. And of course it's an OLED so the colors are very rich, the blacks are very solid. This TV looks absolutely amazing. And when you're gaming, whether you're a PlayStation or your Xbox, whatever games you're playing on it, they look very vivid and very sharp and I think this is one of those TVs that people will love. You might not be able to find the Star Wars version but you can definitely pick up my LG C2 OLED out there but I have to say this TV really hits the mark. It was a hard tie between the Samsung QD OLED and the LG C2. Luckily I can actually game on both so I'm happy for that but it's gonna be a tough choice for anyone who wants to pick one. Now of course there are many TVs out there which I didn't try but one that I wanted to definitely include from our friends at Digital Trends is the TCL Class 6 TV. It's a mini-LED TV. This year's version is also priced under $1,000 and this hits the market in a lot of areas. It's got some really nice color volume, great brightness, high supports, of course HDMI 2.1 ports and it really fits the mold for something that will hit it pretty well. Now it's got Roku in there for those who like or love Roku that is of course your choice but from what I'm seeing, especially from the guys at Digital Trends, this TV actually is a solid addition. All right, so there you have it guys. Those are the TVs that I think are the best gaming TVs for you. They are different price points, they are different feature sets and there are some TVs that just basically have of course streaming access as the main feature. Let me know what TVs you think are fitting to the Skyri category and what TVs you're picking up. If you want to do that, use our links down below otherwise if I get to like, share, subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment.
