Roman Atwood is an American comedian, prankster, vlogger, and film director who was born and raised in Millersport, Ohio. Considering he and his wife Brittany document a lot of their home life with their kids on YouTube, you likely know they've stayed in Ohio, living in a big house in Columbus for many years.  I think it's time we compare the Atwood's properties. Roman Atwood has been producing videos since he was in high school first creating comedy content on a YouTube channel dubbed Sketch Empire in late 2009. A year earlier, Roman had met Brittany Smith at a wedding of a close friend. They started dating and in 2011 they had their first son, Kane, followed by their daughter, Korra, in 2017. You make a wish. You can rub foreheads, rub noses, but if you want to have a real good time, get two all three. Two all three? The two were married in 2018 in Maui, Hawaii and eventually grew to a family unit of six with the birth of their most recent child, Nox, and the inclusion of Roman's son Noah from a previous marriage. Over the years, Roman and his family have built a swarm of loyal fans with over 26 million subscribers spread across two different YouTube channels. While Roman Atwood was his first channel and dedicated largely to his pranks, recently his focus has been on the channel RomanAtwoodVlogs that shows his family's home life on a regular basis. Over the course of 2020, the Atwood's content became more intermittent. This led to many of their fans expressing worry over their sudden disappearance and hoping that the family was safe. Roman and Brittany then posted a video to YouTube that explained why they hadn't been around as much as they used to be and the reason was intense. We've been dealing with some extremely scary stalkers, extreme harassment. This stalking experience led the couple to abandon their content for most of the year to keep their families safe. They turned the power off to our home. This home, they turned the power off in the middle of the winter. Like we have kids. Someone even sent them creepy pictures taken from their own home security system and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I want you to imagine that you have to have a funeral for somebody that you love. These stalkers bomb-threaded a funeral. Thankfully, with a little help from the FBI, the Atwoods got control of the situation and they're getting ready to launch Chapter 3 of their lives by moving into a brand new home. What's happening guys and girls? It's Kara here for you with an updated house tour on the homes of Roman and Brittany Atwood. Considering the stalker drama and all the family has been through, we're respecting their privacy about the new place, but we do have a full look inside, which is enough to see how luxurious the home is. We'll look at the Atwoods' former residence too and you guys can compare for yourself. Be sure to subscribe to Famous Entertainment if you're new and ring that bell for notifications because we post a new video daily. Follow me over on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video. Roman bought this gigantic estate back in 2014 for a ported $349,000 and once you take a look at this place, I'm pretty sure you'll agree with me that it was a huge deal. Not long after moving in, Roman constructed a whole new backyard space that must have set him back more than he paid for the property in the first place. He also installed a gigantic wreck area out front that's surrounded by a white picket fence where his kids could play all day long if the mood strikes. But the best feature of this entire property has got to be the lake front it boasts in the back where Roman's installed an epic water slide. According to the inside, Roman's original home had two bathrooms and three bedrooms, including a couple of fun kid-inspired rooms for the youngsters. When you enter the front door, you're immediately greeted by a stairway that leads up to the top floor. Besides the bedrooms, upstairs there's also an open space at the top of the steps that makes for a perfect family room where everyone can hang out. Downstairs, the kitchen and living room are combined together in an open concept style space. If you look up while standing in the living room, you can see the balcony to the upstairs that encircles the family room. Since moving in that home, Roman added a number of features to the living room, including a wall-mounted aquarium and a whole ton of equipment for rough housing with the kids. The kitchen has a gigantic island in the middle as well as top of the line stainless steel appliances. But more importantly, there's a ton of space for non-pooking related activities. The former at-ward home was full of open space, which makes sense since Roman used to film his content from here even when he installed an indoor rock climbing wall in the middle of the living room. While this spot was impressive and spacious, the at-wads made quite the upgrade. A few weeks ago, Roman returned to Instagram where he posted an update to his fans that his family recently built themselves a brand new home. And he also gave us all a peek. I mean, do you guys see that front entry? It's amazing. Wait, hold on, there's an even better look at it now. Thanks to the video of the home he just posted on his YouTube channel.  While Roman's posted a look at his new place, he's smarter this time after past situations to not show every detail off.  This kitchen has it all, even down to its own drinking fountain. Well, sort of. Off to the side, there's also a well-organized walk-in pantry, which is pretty much a necessity when your family is as big as theirs. Both Roman and Brittany picked their own favorite room to show off in their new digs. For Brittany, that meant displaying her jaw-droppingly large and fully stocked walk-in closet. The closet even contains its own vanity mirror and makeup table at the far end, which ensures Britt can do all of her glamming up in here. For Roman's favorite room, it's his brand new music studio, which has enough space for an entire stage, drum set, and a whole bunch of high-end speakers. As I mentioned, Roman and his family have lived in Ohio most of their lives.  Privacy issues are something that more and more social media stars are gonna have to learn how to deal with over the next few years. Even like what happened to David Dobrik and fans breaking into his home. But the Atwoods aren't giving up yet, and they've promised to eventually show us more of their brand-new place while inspiring others. As far as I'm concerned, I think the Atwoods' needing to move became a blessing in disguise. I mean, look at their new mansion. I would say that's a silver lining. After checking out Ryan and Brittany Atwood's homes, including their former family home and brand-new mansion, which was your fave? What were your favorite features? Be sure to let me know down in the comments. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram to continue the chat, or let me know some other YouTuber homes we should take a look at here. I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye.


Looks like Matt Monarch finally detoxed himself enough on the vegan diet to start eating meat again. Even better, he's now selling supplements that allegedly saved his life. Matt Monarch was the most popular raw vegan several years ago, having a huge online company where you could buy a variety of raw vegan products, doesn't look like he's doing so well anymore.  So they've been angry at me, they've accused me of being evil, they've pointed their fingers at me simply because I haven't shared what I eat in a day. I must be pretty big time for people to care so much about what I eat in a day. I didn't even realize it. Yeah, they're going crazy because you influenced millions of people to follow a starvation diet and those people are likely having health problems because of it. And they want to know if you're eating meat so they can either listen to some other brain watched vegan or schedule a reservation at a local steakhouse.   It's ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it. I didn't realize I made it that big to be such a big thing. You should see how many YouTube comments I deleted from my YouTube video because people scream at me what I should eat in a day and I don't know, there's people who are supposedly popular. I never even heard of it before. They were writing on my YouTube channel. Anyways, I blocked everybody who was rude and they're all gone. Anyway, they all think that it's because I'm eating animal products that healed me from disease. There's this whole war, I guess, going on between vegan versus keto or whatever you want. Yeah, animal products will heal you from disease because your disease of being a brainwashed vegan manifests itself in the form of vitamin B12 and iron deficiency, both of which are contained in animal products you're avoiding.  No love had in their being whatsoever. They build up these huge followings of people, a tight-knit community where they rely on each other and then after all of that, years and years and years, they pretend like it's not a big deal when they're eating meat. The only thing that should result from these people is an apology, accepting their mistake and irresponsibility with their own health and the health of those they influenced. Here we have this dirt bag now trying to make more money off of people who are likely suffering trying to find a solution to fix their health.  So here I was a year ago, falling into Angela's arms, dying.  I don't even know what that is.  And luckily by a miracle, there happened to be a man there who had a little bit of a medical black background who just happened to come to give me a vitamin C drip intravenously because I wasn't doing well. And so what he does is they throw me on the couch. They do this maneuver with my legs, like a cardiac arrest move. And then he happened to have a shot of cortisol on him and he shoots me with it, jump-starts me, and then I was off to the hospital. It's a literal miracle that I'm alive today. This man was given a second chance at life, something unbelievable in itself. And he chooses to do this. It goes to show you that there is no inherent good in this world. Even an evil person with strong intentions can do whatever they wish. So I went up to 104 pounds after eight months. I ended up on the Ecuadorian airport on the floor, 104 pounds eight months later, which was like four months ago, with Angela checking me into the airplane. And my girls are just witnessing this because I wanted to get medical intervention in the USA thinking it would be better. So my diet change had nothing to do with my healing. When I got back to the United States, I was introduced to these products. I started taking them and miracles happened.  And now today I'm up to 5.2 miles a day. For a year, I've been bleeding in my stool. And I literally thought I was stressed about it. I finally made peace with it. And I was like, OK, fine, I'll just live with this for the rest of my life. And I was taking iron pills just so I don't run out of iron and get short of breath and not be able to walk. Like, I experienced for eight months not being able to walk more than 10 feet. I was living in a house for eight months. I couldn't even walk. It was ridiculous. I had to get a blood transfusion once, and then I was able to walk more. But then it went away again. So after a week of taking these products, literally the blood stopped. I couldn't believe it. A vegan diet made me so anemic I couldn't walk. So I ate a steak and took a probiotic.  I thought that meat was supposed to be horrible for your colon, but vegans are the ones shitting blood. For any of you vegans watching, I'm still selling carnivore doodoo if you want to get your B12 and iron in. Any inquiries can be sent to frankatofanoatgmail.com. So the big question of the day is, what do I eat in a day? Since everybody must know it, Matt Monarch puts in his mouth every moment of the day. OK, so I've always been a fan of Dr. Norman Walker. He's the only rock food eater who's supposed to be a rock food pioneer, everyone can call him a rock food eater, who lived to be 99, states on his gravestone. Now, what he did was he ate 100% raw, but if you read all of his books extensively, like I did because I was a big fan, he also did some eggs and dairy. I'm not a big fan of eggs, but every once in a while, I will do it. And dairy has kind of been my lifesaver. So dairy is your lifesaver, but I thought it was the products you were selling. After a week of taking these products, literally the blood stocked. I couldn't believe it. What I eat the most of is goat milk, milk, and chocolate. I'm on the milk and chocolate diet pretty much. No animals are harmed in the process of getting my goat milk. I hope to do a video on my goat that I actually get milk from, from locals here. I think that'll be a lot of fun. It's not actually my goat, but you know. I don't think vegans would really care about that too much. What do they call milk? Animal excrements that it's for baby cows? They call the meat dead, rotting, putrid flesh. Kind of funny how a living animal to a vegan is the cutest thing in the world, but any sort of food product used to sustain life is some disgusting, vile poison. I don't know. Maybe if you put some googly eyes on a steak, the vegans will like it more. But let me tell you how good these are. Here I am, as many people know, I'm in a lot of debt right now from the company.  And here I am at the warehouse. On the last day before we had to close it down, because I had to give up the lease, because it was $7,000 to $8,000 per month, and there's no way that I could continue with that. And there's tens of thousands of dollars of product around, and I'm looking, what should I take? And I look, and I'm like, same stacks of these crack-out confections, almond butter bars and salted caramel bars. And I just took some stacks of them like this and threw them in my car, and I lived off them until I left for Ecuador just a little bit ago. So that's how good these are. And all of my vendors have been incredible. I didn't even realize I owed all of the money. For example, crack-out confections, every time I placed an order, I'd pay for the order up front, and then I put a little bit more towards pass bill, and then I'm paying it off pretty quickly. I'm pretty happy about it, actually. And GoPals is doing the same thing. So all my vendors have been incredibly, most of them, almost all of them, have been incredibly helpful with me in getting me through this mess. So I've been living off of these with the Go Milk since then. And let me tell you, in those nights of trouble, when, anyway, what we're doing right now is we're offering the caramel chocolate bars alongside the crack-out confections almond butter bars right now at cost, even with the funny little three-packs. What baby? At TheRawFoodWorld.com, also known as Matt-Monard.com. That's a very fitting name for the chocolate, cracked out because this guy is nutty, clearly out of his mind. So not only was he peddling his supplements that saved his life, he's also trying to sell chocolate bars. Does this guy have no objective thought whatsoever? Does he not realize how much of a low life he is appearing to his viewers? This really showcases the mentality of these vegans, how despicable these people are, and that they should not, so here I was eight months eating the same diet, only gained eight pounds, didn't heal, thought I was gonna be bleeding out of my rear end for the rest of my life, and then I was gifted by Miracle, these products, which are Miracle products that I started taking, and a week later, the blood literally stopped. I couldn't believe it. I'm already getting testimonials from people that are coming in from taking it from just a week. P12 probiotics, the postbiotics, and the syringes probiotic, these three together, I've already healed me completely in a week.  Now I'm not saying the raw food diet's no good. Everybody's different, requires different things, and in regards to this whole situation that I went through, there's a huge spiritual component behind it. If you knew what I went through, you would understand why I went through the physical aspect of what I went through. Hold on, let me get this straight. A diet that literally kills you isn't no good.  All you people who think it was animal products that healed me, believe what you wanna believe, that's fine, but these products were literally gifted from me to me at the perfect time. Let's be realistic. There's no way he actually had these products at any point during this healing phase. He was on his deathbed in and out of the hospital, but allegedly had these supplements to take to save his life. He literally cured himself by drinking milk, and now he's trying to sell his naive viewers dirt powder. The next few minutes of this video is him reading testimonials to try to convince you to buy said dirt powder. I guess he spent all of his vegan blood money destroying his brain on drugs. I think this is like comical. This is, I don't know what else to think of this. The dude is drinking a gallon of goat milk every day and telling people a vegan diet is still okay and that they should buy his products to continue to support him. You can't make these stories up. You know, Robana ate some, not Robana, what's her name?  I don't know what to do anymore, guys. But if you enjoyed this video, please give it a like, subscribe if you haven't.

Bob is going to talk about something a little bit different. State of the Union and roadmap for mobile wearables, SBCs, and IoT running Ethereum. Hello. Let's see if this works this time. Hey, hey. OK. Fantastic. Slides. So, hi. I'm Bob Somwell. Most of my career has actually been in the games industry at EA Sports. I have been working on ARM Linux cross builds of the C++ client for the last year or so. And then since February, I've been working for the foundation as well on the C++ client and various other things. This is my desk in Vancouver. Got a Raspberry Pi here. Various other pies. An Odroid, a project chip. And in the background there, I've got a Commodore 64 and an Atari. I'm not trying to get Ethereum to run ARM. It would be great if we could. But I think they're a little bit low spec. But I have been looking at mobile devices and wearables. So what are resource constrained devices? There's lots of different kinds of constraints that you might have. I mean, ultimately, all computing devices are constrained. But really, it's talking about things which are less capable than desktop machines. And there's lots of different dimensions that might be happening in. You might be limited CPU. Most desktops now, 64-bit. But 32 is going to be around for a long, long time. Lots of them in these kind of devices are just single core. They may be pretty low frequency as well. Limited memory, limited storage, limited bandwidth, limited power as well. And also, the OS itself may be limited. Lots of such devices are basically single app at a time. So some kind of examples of these, wearables, be those smart rings or watches or health tracking devices. Mobile devices, though they are very prevalent now, they are very constrained compared to desktops, even tablets, same thing. Games consoles, people often don't think of those as being constrained, but they are. And more generally, just embedded devices. Lots of single board computers like Raspberry Pi. And really, IoT devices of all stripes is really where this stuff gets interesting. So, I mean, why would you care about having Ethereum on your smartwatch or any such device? Well, really, when you look at mobile computing, I mean, mobile computing now is mainstream computing. For lots of people in the world, their smart phone that they get is likely their first computer. And really, if you look at the specs on mobile devices, they are of comparable specifications to what desktops were not so very long ago. You've got mobile. And then after that, wearable, taking it down a bit. Edge computing is a term that you'll hear more and more in the coming years. Really, along the theme that if you have billions and billions of devices, they're not going to run client-server. There's no way that you can have some mega-farm that they're all talking to and waiting their instructions. Devices need to become autonomous to scale. And also, really, along Andreas's analogy, boundary security is a dying paradigm. Really, you need individual nodes to be working on the assumption that they are in a hostile place and they need to be responsible for their own security. This is not new. On my right hand here, I have a Java ring. Don't know if anyone is aware of the Java ring. 1998, at the Java Developer Conference in 1998, this was a giveaway. And what it is, is there is basically a chip in there running Java with a battery in there. And the external part is actually a physical contact. And it was doing public key encryption in 1998. And this is how it was envisaged. It would be used. Lots of things that we're talking about now, smart locks. The blue dot, the way that that works, is you would physically touch your ring onto the blue button. That would do signing using the private key that was in this device. And really, barring the fact that you haven't got NFC at that point, it's a lot of the sort of things that we're looking at now. Coming right up to the future, this is the Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch, which has been announced but not released yet. On my other wrist, I have an S2, which is pretty similar spec to it. But if you look at this, you've got a dual core ARM chip, 3 quarters of a gig of memory, 4 gig of flash storage, not only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but also LTE and GPS. Accelerator gyro, heart rate monitor, and so on. And I mean, the other thing that you have on this device is actually, you've got a GPU with hardware-accelerated 3D graphics on your watch. So this kind of caliber of device is obviously, it's kind of top end for that. But it's indicative of how even these constrained devices are really moving up in spec. But it's expensive. Project chip, $9. And what you have there, again, you've got a system on a chip, an ARM device, you've got a Mali GPU, nearly as good as spec. But it's $9. If you go down lower, you're not going to run a theory on this. But expressive systems, who are Shanghai-based, this chip, you can get it for about $2. And it's about the cheapest Wi-Fi-capable device you can get. Again, 32-bit risk chip, very, very low specs. But this kind of price point and this kind of caliber of device is likely to creep up in specs to some of those higher ones over the coming years. So that kind of price point is not inconceivable for running an Ethereum-capable device in the near future. This is a quote that you know, this is a figure that you see all the time, is going to be 50 billion IoT devices by 2020. Looks like the consensus on that has come down to 30 billion, which is less. But it's still a gigantic number of machines. So you may be thinking, some of this stuff that you're saying here, Bob, I think I've heard this before. So this is Paul Brody, who was previously at IBM leading Project Adept. And here is Henning, who I believe is here later in the week. And Project Adept was unveiled in January 2015 using Telehash BitTorrent Ethereum. And there are follow-on projects which are still going here, which is really looking to blend blockchain and IoT. And these efforts are still really ongoing, though the projects are changing. This is still what we're all aiming for. And this is a slide from one of the Project Adept ones, which is basically showing this really long-term progression through from the 50s, really small number of mainframes, through personal computers, through mobile, and on and on and on. And we are going to have a gigantic number of devices in the near future, though who knows what the actual figures are going to be. So I mean, across that, you've got a sliding scale of options, really, for Ethereum. The very easy thing to do on a very constrained device right now is basically not really to run anything on it, but have it talk to a trusted server, just sign transactions, and talk to a trusted server. I think that's the integration route that you're going to see on a lot of mobile devices. But like Client is a big, big step up to it from that, which is really then running as a standalone node that is not assuming trust, and then up through full node and archival. But as we've heard, Ethereum like Client, really, really close now. For myself, the question of why C++ for resource constrained devices, why am I even bothering doing this? Why am I even looking at this rather than just the get implementation? And really, the reason is that if you look at the gains that we're getting from Moore's Law, they are slowing down. There's only so small you can get, and we're kind of getting towards the end of the line on that. Amdahl's Law is something which a lot of people are not aware of, but it's going to become very, very important in the coming years. And what Amdahl's Law is saying is that not everything that there is can be parallelized to an infinite degree. Programs do have critical path pieces, which are serial by nature. And depending on the parallel proportion that you have available, you are basically capped on how much speed you can get by adding more cores. And it's a fact, really, that for the majority of general-purpose programs, that constant is probably really quite low. You see on PCs, there's very few apps that can take advantage of 4, 8, 16 cores. You just end up with multiple apps running in parallel. So what that means is raw performance does ultimately matter. You see now also compiler settings optimizing for power usage that where you're running from batteries, actually, the power drain, it does matter.  Most C++ is not modern C++, but you can write C++ apps that look fairly similar to other ones. But most importantly is maximum portability, is C and C++. They are the language which pretty much all OSes and systems programming is done in. So really, when you're looking at these very constrained devices, having the raw power of C++ does actually matter. So cross-CPP Ethereum is what I've been working on for the last year in a bit. And it's docker files and bash scripts to cross-build CPP Ethereum to ARM Linux. And we have the first successful cross-built binaries in November of last year. It's been largely stalled since then, and especially since February when I joined the foundation. And then I've been just working for the foundation on foundation things, not on my own project here. But very soon, I will be starting on like-lite implementation for C++. I did receive a grant for that, which I'm very grateful. And I hope to actually do some work on that soon. So a number of devices have had success for this already. YOLO phone running selfish OS, also a Buntu phone, a goodly variety of single-board computers. And I'm targeting further SBCs and Tizen and Android and iOS. Very low demand, really, for X86 for Intel. ARM is where it's at. Looking beyond my work, Peter has had Go Ethereum cross-builds working for a goodly amount of time there on ARM64 and more recently on MIPS as well, interestingly. The like-client work. So Zolt will be presenting on his progress on like-client as well. And the stats here are from John Garrett on what he is seeing of that LES branch running on Raspberry Pi 3. So the binary 25 mag, the chain data only coming in at 50 mag, only using 12% of CPU and the high watermark on the RAM of 162. So I mean, these figures are very much, very, very doable on a lot of these devices. Nine minutes there for a header sync. The smallest device that I'm aware of that we've got Ethereum running on so far is a Raspberry Pi A, which is a very, very weedy device. And that was full clients as well. That was prior to any of this LES work. So it's quite conceivable that we can have Ethereum running on something even weedia than a Raspberry Pi A and getting down to some really, really very minimal devices. And whisper. So whisper development has restarted quite recently. That's also something which is going to be very applicable for these kind of devices. And also Raiden, I haven't gone out on slides here. I'd kind of forgotten. But Raiden is going to be very, very applicable to these kind of devices. So what are the ultimate constraints on running Ethereum on limited hardware? So yeah, I mean, the specs there on the Raspberry Pi Model A, it's a single core, only 256 mega memory, 700 megahertz. That device can run full client. The problem is that the full sync on that, it can barely keep pace. That no longer a problem though, if you're running a light client. So I mean, what are the ultimate constraints? Well, the CPU's got to be able to execute the EVM fast enough. This kind of caliber of device can do that. You've got to have enough memory. I'd imagine that's going to stay around the same, even with light client, even through CASPER as well. And you need to have enough storage for blocks. Though the storage bottleneck there really goes away quite a lot with light client. When you're running a full node and you're having to sync from the start, the performance can really matter. Having an SSD makes a huge difference.  And the network connection's got to be good enough. So yeah, we're going to see Ethereum on a lot of devices and they are going to be very, very weak devices and they'll be able to cope just fine. There are multiple threads of work going on to reduce the resource needs. So we can cope now and the demands are going to get a lot lower. So it's only going to get better. Thank you so much, Bob. And there we go. Yeah, that's great. IOC will be a delight with blockchain.

Welcome to another episode of China is Not Our Enemy, coming to you from Code Pink. And today I'm very excited to talk to Ting's chalk. Ting's is an international activist and an artist trained in architecture. And after spending quite a few years as a migrant justice organizer in Toronto, Canada, she's been supporting various working class struggles and movements across the global south. But Ting's is currently based in Shanghai and contributing to popular political education projects and crafting designs towards the socialist future.   And so we want to hear more about the culture from Ting's. Ting's welcomed so much to our show and also just give us an idea of where you are, how long you've been there and kind of maybe what part of Shanghai do you live in? What's it like? Thanks, Jody, and thanks to the team for Code Pink for inviting me. So I'm in Shanghai right now, as you mentioned. It's a little bit late here. It's about midnight. And so, I mean, it's interesting you ask me that. Most people don't usually move countries in the middle of a pandemic, but that's what I did. My partner, I actually moved to Shanghai about five, six months ago. And as you mentioned, one of the main works I've been doing or projects I've been working on in the last years has been the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research in the area of the, I organized the art department, so both in production and research. And then since arriving here, a new project was formed out of both desire, necessity, and just curiosity as we were seeing the events unfolding here, moving here, and trying to transport some of the realities that we're seeing here that really are captured if you're looking at Western media. They're really captured not only the mainstream media, but even, I think, a bit lost to a lot of them, I think, our world, which is of the left of social movements and popular movements. It was kind of clear that there was a richer and a deeper story to be told. There was a kind of flattening of what is China, Chinese society, Chinese people. That wasn't getting through. So in the months of living here and with different colleagues and friends and comrades, a project was formed to form this Dongfeng Collective to gather a group of people who are curious and asking questions and reading and researching and trying to gather some of that and sharing that in a form that, hopefully, is useful for different audiences around the world. And right now we're doing it in English as well as Portuguese and Spanish and French and Italian and where we have kind of thoughts for other languages as well to specifically reach more of our audience across the global south, social movement bases, the kinds of organizations we're more linked to. So cool. So it's not just the United States that needs more education on China. It's not any world over. Yes. So since arriving, give me a couple of the things that have surprised you the most. You know, I think one of the first conversations I had when I arrived here was actually with an artist, as you mentioned, obviously, my area is more around culture and where culture intersects with politics and movements. I had a conversation with this artist from Shanghai and he agreed to chat with me. You know, I had come across his work online for some time and was curious, so we just had a chat. And basically what he did was he was in the first two months he was in quarantine, he started to paint two paintings every day. What was he painting of? You know, it's funny because he was using a traditional Chinese like oligarchy style. You might have seen kind of the wash paintings, very few colors, rice paper, but instead of kinds of landscapes or, you know, kind of, which are beautiful, he was painting interesting things, like a traffic officer, he's just eating a cup. Oh dear, it seems like we've lost Ting's for the moment. I wanna show you a little bit of her art while she finds her way back on the internet.  So maybe if we share a screen, we could look at some of Ting's art while we wait for her to come back. Oops. We're just, we missed you Ting's. We're showing, we were gonna show a bit of your art while you were gone. Welcome back. Great. Here, let me see if I get my screen back normal. Okay, perfect. Well, the good thing is whenever there are visuals, it always can fill space. Yes, there we go. Sorry about that. Where was I? Where did I cut off? You were saying that he started to paint like a policeman with something in his hand Yeah, so I mean, the portraits he was painting was about the real lives of people responding, coming together on the coronavirus and the responses. So he was using this very traditional style and he was painting exactly kinds of delivery workers. We're talking about workers in factory sewing, the PPE, protective equipment, security guards taking a little nap because they've been working overtime. And so these kinds of portraits, I think and also the experience of moving here during this time definitely showed a vision. It's very clear. You do not see in the Western media and you do not see pretty much ever in a portrayal of China and how the story was being told during the crisis, during the height of the crisis and even afterwards. I was just doing a little test right now. I was just trying to Google what you see when you see China. The kinds of images that usually come up are big industrial infrastructure scale projects or people in masses or you're talking about state leaders but very rarely do you get these kinds of portraits about remembering that Chinese people are actually just human beings and there's a lot of them. It's not 1.4 billion people but those portraits and stories are never told. And we know a lot of the way that the media works and especially kind of an imperialist form of media is that the first thing that is denied is the people's humanity, is the people's ability to be seen as people who are organizing, who are responding, who are responding in a very collective way that they aren't just the victims of history at all. And they're not just victims of their government or victims of a society. So I think in terms of a roundabout way of answering your question of the surprises was encountering and having this conversation with this artist is a good reminder about what the focus should be on. And he actually said a few things I was asking him as well as the world at that point was entering into their moment of crisis, what is also the role of cultural workers and artists? And one of the things he was saying, well, we can reflect the situation also positively to bring unity to share the experiences of people as they are living them. And he said a nice thing too. He said, whether you're in quarantine home, whether you're caring for people or being cared for, whether you're working at your easels or with your pens and pencils, we're all kind of soldiers in this battle against a united battle against the pandemic. So I think that was quite useful. And for anyone who's interested also, his paintings were featured in a three-part research series publications from Tracontinental. Actually, I have it here. It was- Oh, cool. So his paintings are online. You'll see some of them if you wanna check it out on Tracontinental's website. And some of his words are there as well. And that's the issue that you did about the lies around coronavirus, correct? Yeah, so the Tracontinental team put together, I mean, it was very clear during the early moments about what the reports about what was happening, the responses to the coronavirus was inadequate, let's say, by Western media. Not only was there a lot of kind of xenophobia, not only in Chinese people in the state, but there was also just a lot of things you didn't know about how the response was from the level of the neighborhood committees to the level of the state, how resources were deployed, how China was able to break the chain of infection in a relatively quick way. So this was a publication that came out to address some of these issues, to bring to broader audiences what we couldn't be seeing elsewhere. So what's it like in your neighborhood? Just maybe a little bit about how is this neighborhood different than your neighborhood in Sao Paulo, for example? I mean, I think it's one of the things I'll say. I mean, I had the privilege and through the kind of political work I've been doing to live in various places, get to know various places. And in terms of one of the things that also surprised me, I would say, and also relates to the neighborhood, I guess, is that I never felt like I could, right now it's midnight, I could just walk outside. I could go and pick up some things at the cornerster as a woman and walk there. And that's something I think I, even my body had forgotten it could do. And this is in many parts of the world. There are some things I think for me as a woman, definitely there are moments I was quite surprised of security walking around on the streets. I think that would be one thing. The neighborhood itself is kind of a, a 90-style popular public housing, very comfortable, lots of trees, modest, but has like, here it's a pretty impressive amount that the amount of time they spend on landscaping.  Yeah, the green, the care for nature is profound. And even the care for ancient nature, some of the places that you go where they, you think about a museum and they're showing art, but if you go there in China, it's the whole thing is cared for. All pieces of the container are important, which is something I hadn't ever experienced. Yeah, I had the experience in Beijing recently to go to the Red Brick Art Museum. It was my first time there. And it's exactly that it's, it almost feels like the art you see inside, which is a very contemporary art museum. It was reflections on kind of the state of exception and different artists responding to that. But on the outside, it is basically just a magical garden. So both inside, outside, exactly what you're talking about. Very, very embodied experiences, let's say of art. So let's talk about Dongfeng.  Tell us some of the surprises in searching and maybe some of the gems you have to leave on the cutting room floor. Yeah.  So Dongfeng, it's a pretty simple concept of how we approached coming up with this weekly digest of news sources from China or on China, mostly from China.  One of them was talking about the experience of pandemic and the responses and the kind of, kind of how much this society still remains a very collective one in its, you know, in treatment of its people and its responses to crisis. So that's one thing. The other thing is definitely a really big shock of how poor our knowledge is for those coming outside of China to China about just basically anything. And so we started reading and reading a lot. And, you know, I like the campaign title, you know, that you have, just China is not the enemy because it seems like a simple phrase to say, but then it almost still, it feels necessary to say that, you know, it feels necessary in this moment to say that because we have very little news that brings that voices that are actually from China to the world. So we take 15 stories. We take dozens of stories in a team and we read them, we share them, we kind of, you know, do pitches about them. And then we choose 15 every week where we do little short summaries and do links. So they have different themes. So geopolitics obviously can be avoiding geopolitics in this moment, the key theme of our day to national politics issues, so national issues, there's economy and also issues like you brought up environment, agriculture, big questions that we have and health. Then the debates around science and technology. And then an other aspect, which is people's life and culture, which I already talked a little bit about a big part of, you know, you'll see if you read the digest, at the end, at the last section of every digest is always trying to bring some of this cultural element, bring some of these more real life people's stories. Get the links in the chat, try continental and... And then we also have, you know, actually this week we just launched a weekly video that's also trying to bring more of these visual elements to highlight the stories and photos. And all these things brings a little richer discussion to the point of the digest. But in terms of gems, it's like quite hard. We learned so many things in this process. I think one of the things, for instance, I mean, I think you're also your listeners or viewers and members of CodePick are interested in stories about women. You know, we try to bring some of those too from historical figures that we're learning about. There's a comrade who passed away. Her name is Wang Ding-Gou, who was part of the Long March. It was in 1934 where the Communist Party and thousands and thousands of soldiers had to flee persecution and they walked for one year across thousands and thousands of kilometers. And she is a story she just passed away. So she is recounting the story of how she was part of the theatrical group, you know? Doing these kinds of journeys and being in the army meant you had to really employ culture in a necessary way. You know, how to keep the morale up, how to entertain people on like, you're crossing mountains filled with snow and valleys, you know, and many people didn't make it and many people couldn't stand the hardship. It was amazing because we learned about her because she had actually been sold to her husband when she was 15 years old. And she escaped. She ran away when she was 20 to join the party and, you know, lifelong committed member until she died. I think she was 104 years old. So we hear, we see kinds of lots of stories like this that are just absolute gems. And I think there's another story that really impacted me is about a, it's a story called the Red Detachment of Women. It's also around the time of the 1930s. It's based on a real story, but it became essentially a popular culture mythology. You know, it has filmed since the 60s, it has become a National Ballet and now it's become a huge production that plays nightly in Hainan, which is the southern province, it's an island province, the most tropical area of China. So it's like palm trees and beaches and all beautiful things like that.  And that's become, I mean, there's a play, I actually had a chance to go see this play. And you'll see it fits like 2000 people moving stages, big lights, like you're in the middle of the whole deal. And you're seeing kids, families, multi-generational families go there. You'll see people even arguing with the play as if they're watching like a soap opera. It's like very popular, very interactive in that way. And then when you leave, it's people, all the women actors, hundreds of them dressed in their red army outfits and all the kids are going up, taking photographs and selfies. And I thought I was like, this is incredible. This is incredible, but a story from the 1930s about women fighting against patriarchy, fighting against feudalism, fighting against landlords, fighting against imperialism is a relevant story for little kids to take selfie. It's not Mickey Mouse, you know? So there's something incredible to think, like that kind of interest in what they call here red culture, like a socialist or leftist culture, certainly things you won't see ever in news about what China looks like. But I think, I mean, I've been talking more about the cultural, the historical cultural aspects, but just to point out how also culture has evolved and stayed relevant with people. This is a story maybe from the 30s, but they've kind of reinvented in a way that's very much of 2020, that speaks to the young people of 2020, that I think is pretty incredible. And that's not even to speak of- Well, I think what's interesting about that is that the government is willing to have a piece of theater that's about an uprising. You know, as a group of revolutionary women, it's not what people want the story to be told about. They don't wanna know about that. That's super interesting. You know, one of the things that I noticed, a couple of the feedbacks that I've gotten on Dongfeng was I remember one issue, the cover photo was a trans newscaster on one of the biggest broadcasting companies. And some of the people around me were just like, trans exist in China. Like that was the shocker of that. That's how silly everybody's view. I remember when I was taking photos of wedding parties and there were lesbian couples and people just didn't believe me that that existed in China. So even just the basic, you know, I think there was an article recently about a sex change at the work and how the guy was won a case.  And it's not what people think about China. And I think one of the other things, even someone who runs a, you know, pretty radical think tank was just like blown away by the fact that so many Chinese people, I think it's over 90% understand the dangers of climate change and are pushing their governments, their local governments to do more.  But what have you seen about taking care of the planet? I mean, I think, I mean, I think with the, the environment question, which I mentioned, like it's something that we came with a lot of curiosity. I mean, there's, there's, there's, we have one section that's on agriculture and environment. We put them together and because they're pretty inseparable. You know, we started this conversation when you made it, you made a joke about Monsanto, you know, this, we know critically, the survival of the planet, survival of the people are, you know, completely interconnected. There's a few things we've been quite surprised. I think that the government here is really aware that there are environmental issues, you know, and that the kinds of, you know, the biggest issues people face right now are things from air quality to food security, to food safety, to, you know, and all those things. And so we've been kind of following the stories of how that's been responded to. One of the surprises, for instance, this that came out, I think last, last issue or two issues ago was that, well, I'll just give a little context. China has 1.4 billion people. It's to give a context is 20% of the world's population, but it only has 8% of the arable land, so the farmable land. That is a mathematically, it's a question, you know, it's a lot of, to feed people has always historically been one of the greatest challenges of this country. So it requires a lot of growth in other places. But in the middle of all this, it's a, you know, it's a food insecure time, let's say. Two weeks ago, there was a, we launched a story about Kafka, which is one of the state owned, one of the biggest food and agriculture companies that they've announced that they're gonna start, for instance, tracking where the soybean comes from, because soy consumption and a lot of soy production in a lot of the world actually gets exported to China. That's not news to anyone. But they're actually starting to track it with the end of saying, oh, we're not gonna start, we're gonna stop buying from any place that is illegal deforestation areas. So they've highlighted specifically places like the Amazon and you know, other protected areas in Brazil. I mean, this is not a small statement for being the largest soy importer of the world of doing this. And why is that also important?  This last week, we also put out a story about food grains. So that's his rice and wheat and all those things. Even though there's great production here, despite the big floods, you might have seen some stories about historic floods here that was devastating for a lot of the crops.  But just a few days ago, Xi Jinping came out with a new campaign and a big campaign about food waste. Basically, reprimanding and saying to the whole country, listen, you know, everyone's arrived at a level of consumption that we've never seen before, but this food waste is not acceptable. You know, we're talking about on average, it's 11% of food being wasted per person. You go out to restaurants and meals. This is food to feed millions and millions of people if it's from the waste. So what I thought was really interesting is you used the main kind of slogan or saying, which in fact, my mom drilled into my head since I was a kid, really drilled, which is that every grain of rice is a sweat of a farmer. So I have like both Mao and Xi Jinping's voice in my head now. So reminding me. But I mean, even in a few days, the amount of campaigns, what does it look like from social media platforms? How are they responding to it? How does it, you know, how does actually get played out? It's pretty decisive. It's something that people will respond to and are hearing and makes a difference.  And what about just recycling? Tell me about your own personal recycling. Yeah, oh my goodness, recycling here. And my partner is Brazilian and there's less recycling in Sao Paulo where we lived. And here now it's like, you know, it's a real strong duty, you know. They're just to give you an example of how it's organized in this small community.  You then you have your non-recyclables. There's people who help you there. There's a little hand washing station to help you wash your hands afterwards. It's pretty quite organized, but it's been impressive because this is still a pretty new concept here, you know, to think about use of plastics. This is all about public education as well. And of course it's been heightened by the fact that once the coronavirus means that there's been a lot more deliveries like the rest of the world deliveries and consumption of plastics. So what two of the big campaigns has been against banning plastics in a lot of these delivery as well as like utensils or the kinds of cups and chopsticks and that kind of thing. To organizing mass recycling composting systems and they're going to start with, they started in Shanghai, Beijing and big cities but they're going to launch them in the 80 big cities soon. So these are kinds of, you know, pretty nation-wide projects that they're part public education that will take time to also change the habits of people. But I love the hand washing station.  Oh my God, that's so lovely. What are some other of the rituals that you noticed that are different from say your life in, you know, Toronto or Sao Paulo or South Africa that are, you know, it's just that you feel the cultural difference. It was beautiful like what it is to be a woman. What about public transportation? Do you find that different or the same? I mean, Shanghai, I think since I lived near a subway line, it's a pretty, I mean, with all the days I take transport, one thing, unlike any other city I've ever lived in is I've never seen a, I've never seen one of those delays. I mean, I'm making a joke but I think overall the city, Shanghai is one of the kind of wealthy year, very cosmopolitan cities. So it has a really developed infrastructure for that. I don't know, in terms of other kinds of daily life, things that don't have anything that comes to mind. There's so many, I guess, that sometimes on the top of your head you don't really think about it at the moment. And has there been a lot of interest in Dongfeng? Have you found, are you getting a response from the readers? Are you getting, usually when you have an audience they kind of want the what they want. Are you hearing from your audience that more is missing than what you're delivering? Yeah, I mean, overall, I think the response has been overwhelmingly very positive. I think even more positive than the whole team working on this has expected. And it was very quick that the project has grown, I mentioned all the language it's in and there's already other languages coming up. We're starting to do videos and we're already planning other forms to share the content. I think it's just clear right now, there's been a, not just right now, but for a long time, there's been a huge hunger and absence of information coming, not mediated just by through New York or through Washington or through London, but actually some sources and voices coming from here. And what is interesting is that a lot of the information is there, but it takes a lot to, you know, both experiences of being here and observing and following, but also reading through and collecting it all. We've received really amazing personal feedback, you know, from Cuba to, you know, Spain to Portugal to South Africa to Morocco to pretty much like dozens and dozens of countries. We've gotten responses not only from, you know, activists from social movements to leaders of social movements to academics, journalists. It's clearly a necessity. And right now we're living in a new world. So it's kind of why we have China is not our enemy because there's this big vacuum with no definition, which makes it very easy to throw tomatoes at, but it's super serious for us in the United States because at a time when, you know, global superpower should be getting along and solving these really intense problems.  Like, what do you see? How do you, what do you see and feel there? Do you feel an enemy? Do you feel concerned? Do you, I mean, I always say about my husband that he lives in the future or at least the future I want to live in. What is something that really could communicate that, you know, China is not only our enemy, it could be a really great friend. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think that the, yeah, I like what you said in terms of living in the future. I simply feel like I've been transported into the future. I mean, I think I'll use an example. Like this week, one of the stories was that among the many, many, many different groupings that have been put onto this foreign mission list by the US, now they've added Confucius Institutes, which is, you know, a grouping of educational institutes, culture sharing institutes, you know, where people get to learn across universities, campuses and school campuses, how to exchange with another culture. I mean, that's essential. It seems very clear if that is kind of put on a list of our enemies, there's something really misguided about how we can foster kind of human understanding about a different people. I mean, if learning about calligraphy or the poetry or history of another society, let alone it's people's daily life experiences, realities, concerns or aspirations, what they think about is denied, then I mean, that is, that's pretty tragedy. And I feel like we should feel angry about that. You know, we should feel like we're being denied a possibility to engage. And certainly, I mean, from the experiences that we've had here, coming here at this time, there's so much learning to be done from here. There's so much that is impressive about how society organizes itself, how the people are put ahead of all else, how even the economy, you know, how people band together, the kinds of values, the kinds of, how the values are deployed in a systematized way, in a way that, you know, is actually organized, it has planning and all these things. I mean, we're seeing just basically this, this mass of people who are impoverished, who are generally black and brown, who are in many of the places in the world and the capitalist world that has all this abundance being thrown to the side right now, you know, if there's something that we want to learn, of course we have to be on the side of the people. So that's all to say, it's a loss for everyone of us if we don't get to learn more about what has happened here, exchange more and we hope we can, you know, as Dong Feng Collective be a bit more of that bridge, provide a little more information, learn, hear, get feedback about what are the kind of burning questions and try to fulfill some of that because that bridging is more necessary than ever.  What you're creating with Dong Feng Collective is the pastapies, so super grateful. I wanted to just, you know, when we say that someone's an artist, we have an opportunity to show a little bit of your art and I just wanted to share the screen and show some of your tri-continental covers and let everyone know that they can follow you on Instagram at Ting's Chuck and also that we've put in the chat where you can subscribe to Dong Feng Collective and also the tri-continental and there's the issue that she showed you the photographs out of is a great way to get smarter about China and COVID and I just, you know, last night there was a big party in Wuhan and it was trending in the United States. It was a pool party and when we talk about the future it was there where, you know, Americans were looking at it kind of in crazy envy of just huddled altogether dancing and at a pool party and someone from China said, this is what happens when central government acts decisively to crush COVID, the whole city locks down, the hospital's built in seven days, 11 million tested and three months later we live in normal and I think that was a hard tweet to read when we're at the most desk a day here and in so many places around the world. So thank you Ting's, thanks for joining us. You're amazing, thanks for all the beauty you bring into the world and all the connection. Thank you, thank you, take good care.


That does not happen. So instead we can evaluate history and analyze relationships and see if we can learn from the babies that have been made in a family and see what we can figure out. Okay, so a couple things that you need to know about pedigree analysis. First of all, squares are anatomically male humans. Circles are female humans. Connections between them, horizontal connections are baby-making events. We used to say, those are marriages, but I don't think we need to say that. We just need to say that we made babies together and then look carefully at this. Things that are connected with horizontal lines are siblings. I don't know if that's clear, but these are siblings. So let's look at this example. I have pedigree A sitting here and it's super simple so that we can see. We have a male, we have a female, they had a baby-making event, and then they produced every one of these things is produced. Those are humans. Every one of those humans was produced by the baby-making events of the top two people. So some things that we could say. The top two people made two boys and two girls. One of the boys is affected. So a filled-in circle. Any filled-in shape equals an affected phenotype. Oops, we don't have to put an eye there. Okay, one boy is affected. No girls are affected. What can we, is there anything we can figure out about this condition? We don't even know anything about what it is. Well, how did the boy get affected if there's no, if the parents aren't affected? Right there, you should say, oh, this must be a recessive trait because we have one affected kid that like somehow that kid got its genetics from its parents. Okay, so we have the trait is recessive. What does that tell you about the parents? Well, I suppose it might tell us something maybe about, like I wonder if this could be a sex-linked trait. It's possible, but it definitely tells you that at least one of the parents is a carrier, right? So let's just say, let's see if it could be a recessive trait not linked to a chromosome. Let's just see. And I'll just make up a letter.  And I'm gonna say like, let's see if this works that we could say big a little a for both parents.  Is it possible that none of the other kids would get the trait? Totally. I mean, they could all of them have to get at least one dominant allele. And who knows, they could get two dominant alleles. That would work because they have a dominant allele to get from each parent. You could go through and make a square for this scenario and convince yourself that yes, it is possible. In fact, possible and like the numbers, the percentages match up. Keep in mind the percentages are probabilities. So it doesn't have to match up. That's not a slam dunk. But I would say that this is possible that it's an autosomal recessive trait possible. Should we see if it's possible for it to be a sex linked recessive trait? Let's see. Okay. I'm afraid that in order to make it sex linked, watch what I'm going to do. I'm going to take this and say yes, it is possible and we're just going to throw it up here even though it's like a mess.  Okay. If it's sex linked, let's just say X linked. Because if it's Y linked, then both boys would have it, right? So we know it's not Y linked. Here's X dad. Dad doesn't have it. So I'm going to use the same letters, big A. Mom has to, she doesn't have it, but she has to have the recessive allele, right? And she has to give that recessive allele to her son because the son got the X chromosome or the Y chromosome from dad. Are you cool?  Girls get an X from their dad. Dads only give X's to their girls. And I say that anatomically, not genderly. Okay. We know this person has to have a Y chromosome, but doesn't express the condition. So they have to be X, big A. And now we have two girls who do not express. So we have to say they have at least one dominant allele and who knows? Oh, maybe I should say they do have an X, but who knows what flavor of X they have. They could be carriers given this scenario where they could be homozygous dominant. Could it be sex-linked trait? I think it could be. I don't see any reason that this isn't a sex-linked trait. Pedigrees are puzzles. They're not easy. You don't just do a pedigree and voila, everything becomes clear. Sometimes it does and that's fun. We're going to do one more pedigree practice, but let's just see. We're going to do a similar thing as this and see what the possible inheritance pattern is from another one.
