Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining. I'm Park Ko-Cheng from Niko's Chinese Health Coalition. Let me share my screen. Can you all see the slide? Yes, we can see. So today's topic is about the truth about gambling that you didn't know. And I'm a health educator at Niko's Chinese Health Coalition. A little bit introduction for our entity, Niko's Chinese Health Coalition. We are located right across Warden J. Lau Elementary School. And we are actually right in the center of Chinatown. Our mission is to enhance the health and well-being of San Francisco Chinese community. We were funded in 1985. So we have been serving the Chinese community for over 35 years. And we are a public-private community partnership of 30-plus groups. We have partnership with various nonprofit organizations across San Francisco just so that we can better serve our community. And this picture is just our storefront. A little bit background about the project, Chinese Community Problem Gambling Project. So back in the days in 1997, Niko's conducted a telephone survey and we interviewed 1,808 Chinese American adults in San Francisco. And the whole purpose of the survey was to evaluate health profile. And at this time, over 70% of the Chinese Americans identified gambling as a huge issue, problem in the community. That's why Niko's implemented the Chinese Community Problem Gambling Project just so that we can address this social issue. So what exactly is gambling? Can some of the audience share some opinions? You can just use a few simple words to define what does gambling mean to you. Anyone in tears? So in your opinion, what does gambling mean? The house always wins. And what do participants usually gamble on? They will gamble on money, right? So here we have a really specific definition for gambling. Gambling refers to any game of chance or skills that involves a financial risk. So here we have some gambling activities such as people can play on table games such as Blackjack or PyGal.  But it is considered illegal in the United States but in developing countries such as China and Philippines animals fight is actually really common, especially in rural areas. But remember in United States, any animals fighting is considered illegal. And football or sport betting, sport betting is actually becoming really famous, popular as an at-home gambling activities because of the pandemic and horse racing in California. Currently, there are about 33 race tracks available in California. And this is a slot machine. Nowadays, because technology is so advanced, people do not necessarily have to go to a casino to play slot machine. They can just simply download an app and then they can play slot machine. And in time of the day, that's why gambling is becoming really accessible to people. But in the meantime, it's also becoming more dangerous because people can easily get addicted to it. And lottery tickets, mega millions. If you ever drive on highway, you might notice that they will have this giant screen telling you that how much money you can win by purchasing lottery tickets. And you can see all these lottery tickets machines in gas station, liquor store or grocery store. And the owners, they will put all these machines near the front entrance so that people will see them and they are more likely to purchase these lottery tickets. And this is mahjong. For those that speak Chinese, I'm sure you have heard of mahjong or you have seen your family play mahjong. In my own family, in Chinese culture, mahjong is a really popular gambling game. Although all of the Chinese people, they do not see playing mahjong as a form of gambling.  And stock trading. A lot of people see stock trading as a form of gambling and in most greater skill and also greater risk as well if you are a day trader. So here we have another activity called Mythbuster. It's super easy, I'll read you a statement and then you just have to help me identify if it's a myth or it's a fact. So the first statement we have here in lottery, there are hot numbers that increase your chances of winning. Do you think in lottery, there are hot numbers or your favorite numbers will increase your chances of winning? Do you think this is a fact or it's a myth? Myth, myth. Does anyone think it's a fact? Okay, I can see all people agree it's myth. You all are smart. So it's actually a myth. In lotteries, all the numbers are randomly, sorry, all the numbers are randomly select. So no matter what numbers you choose, you have the same chance of winning. Even in Chinese culture, Chinese people really like the number eight because number eight represent good luck, good fortune. By contrast, number four represent death. But no matter if a Chinese person select all number eight or all number four, they will both have the same chance of winning. Even including your favorite numbers, it does not help increase your chances of winning in lottery. So there are books like this one out there, winning lottery for everyday players by Prof Jones. When you all first look at this cover, you guys come in to buy this book. Does this person looks legit to you, this author? And also what does the word Prof P-R-O-F stand for? Does it remind you of a particular word right here? Professor, a lot of people will automatically assume that this person is a professor, but don't let him trick you. He's actually not a real professor. This guy gambles for a living. He might be a professional gambler. And also think about this. If this person has the secret of winning the entire lottery, he would keep it by himself, right? He wouldn't be generous and sure with the whole world. And also look at this. Why would this person spend so much time writing for a book and also selling for 995? It doesn't make sense, right? He would keep the secret and then he would just win the entire lottery by himself. So don't let him trick you. The second statement we have here in the long run, the more regular you play in the casino, the more you will lose. Do you think this is a myth or it's a fact? In the long run, the more regular you play in the casino, the more you will lose. I see two facts. Anyone else? Do you think it's a myth that the longer you stay, the more regular you play, you will have a higher chance of winning? Okay, I will read the answer. It's actually a fact because think about casino. They are not non-profit charitable organization. They have to win money from people who lose money and also think about all those beautiful lights, fountains, they sometimes offer free greens, free hotel stays. They have to spend so much money to maintain the operation. That's why in the long run, casino will always win. So what are some tricks that casino do to keep players staying longer?  No, there's some strategies, tricks that casino do to just keep players staying in the casino longer, free beverage, hard to find the asset. Yes, anything else? Like free foods? Okay, let me review. So free drinks, most specifically alcohol drinks, because when people drink alcohol, they tend to make worse decision rather than better decision. And then abstract cash. Casino, they require you to use abstract cash instead of a real money like cash because they want you to use this kind of toy, plastic chips and VIP cars so that you are more likely to overspend just like people tend to overspend on credit cards so that you have a hard time keeping track of spending. And no clocks or windows. Clocks and windows are not expensive items, but casino, they refuse to install them because they wanna make the players more likely to lose track of time. And game design, this is actually a slot machine and I can be honest with you, all that slot machines, they will play a really pleasant sound just like the cable car ding ding, ding ding, no matter if the person is winning or losing. So casino, they intentionally place all these slot machines near the front entrance so that they can treat all the newcomers, make them believe that all of this play has so many people winning money and this might be my destination to make a fortune, but remember, no matter if the person is winning or losing they will keep playing the same pleasant sound. Maze design, if you have ever visited a casino, you will have a hard time finding direction, especially when it's crowded, finding a bathroom can be a challenge as well because they purposely designed the interior like a maze. And lastly, heated carpets. Many people will question why casino, they spend so much money and time to clean these carpets. Well, studies show that our eyes do not like to look at busy, complicated patterns like these carpets. Our eyes like to look at things that are natural and smooth. That's why casino, they purchase these carpets so that they wanna make sure that players they can focus more on the things that they're doing which is gambling. And some people might criticize and also make jokes that if they drop the chips on the floor they couldn't find it. That's also possible as well because the colors are just so messed up. So how gambling works, now I'm gonna show you all some tips that you can learn how to gamble responsibly in the future. There are three important concepts to remember. The first one is randomness. The second one is independence of events. And the third one is house advantage. So we will go through each of this concept with an example. Let's say we're all gonna purchase these lottery tickets. You already have the first three numbers pre-filled, two, 10, 18, and which option will give you the best chance of winning? Option A, 19, 20, 21. Option B, 27, 39, 44. Option C, 23, 33, 43. Option D, 20, 30, 40. And option E, any of the above. So which one of these following options will give you the best chance of winning? I can see E, any of the above, any other answers? Does anyone like option A or option B? I can see most people voted, well actually all people voted option E, any of the above. The correct answer is actually option E, any of the above. But I can also show you all that a lot of times when we present this slide to, for example, high school students, some of them will choose option B because they think option B looks the most random. And some people might like option C because they will like the last three numbers to be odd numbers and option D because they just like even numbers. But if lottery tickets are randomly, are completely random, can any of the combination be possible? Option A to D. So remember in lottery tickets, there's something called randomness. That's why option E is the correct answer. And the second concept we have here is independence of events. That's a winning liquor store will guarantee the next jackpot winner. Do you think this is true? So it doesn't make sense. This statement does not stand, right? So if any of the winning liquor store they have sold some winning tickets in the past, it will not guarantee that this liquor store will become special or lucky to sell another winning tickets in the future. These two events are not related to one another. So independence of events mean what happened in the past will not influence what will happen in the future. So the last concept is called house advantage. Who is the house? Can anyone tell me? House advantage and who is the house here? The casino, the gambling operator. So a lot of the casino games they are customized so that the odds are always in casino favorite. So more advantage for the house and more disadvantage for players. So let's say we're all gonna play this roulette and if half of us will bet on color black and the other half will bet on color red, will the chances of winning be 50-50? So half of the people will bet on color black and then the other half will bet on color red. Do you think the chance will be 50-50? Or more? Okay, I will reveal. So in this particular roulette, okay, less than 50-50. That's correct because beside color black and red, there's one more column. You can see the green column, single zero. And I can tell you that in casino, they oftentimes have two green columns, one single zero and one double zero. And these two green columns belong to casino. So if people bets on either black or red, the chances of winning is actually less than 50-50. And in this particular roulette, if people spend one time and only 49% of the people will have win money, but most people will not just, sorry, most people will not just play roulette for one time, they'll play multiple times. So after 100 spin, 36% of the people will have win money, but after 1000 spin, only 19% of the people will have win money, but guaranteed by that, after 10,000 spin, all people will have lost money. So remember house advantage, there are more advantage for the house and more disadvantage for the players. The house gambling operator always win in the long-term. Now we'll talk about prevalence of gambling. So let's look at the maps here. Back in 1975, as you can see, only a few state have legalized gambling in the East Coast and in the West Coast, we have Nevada. But as we all know, Nevada is like the capital of gambling. But let us time travel to 2013, you can see a lot of the state are highlighted in colors, meaning that they have legalized gambling in some ways. And Nevada is still the same color because they have been the capital of gambling all the time. And can someone tell me what are some of the state that do not have legalized gambling? Right, Utah and Hawaii. So this is Utah and this is Hawaii. Some people sometimes my question what state is this? But don't think of this as a state. This is actually Lake Michigan. Now let's focus on California. So this is the California maps. And you can see there are so many dots here. There are blue dots and there are red dots. So the blue dots are Indian casinos like Dunder Valley, Grayton and the red dots are car rooms, sometimes also called car clubs. Although some car clubs, they will still label themselves as casino like Lucky Chance's Casino, but technically they are not a casino, they are car rooms. Car rooms meaning that you can only play a limited amount of car games and also Bay 101. And the most commonly used transportation for gamblers is buses. And Nikos conducted a study just in SF Chinatown. They are total of seven carriers from Monday to Sunday and up to 18 times a day. Sometimes up to 12 a.m. they will also offer buses because casino they won't attract more customer so that these people have a higher chance to lose money. And there are two other famous gambling destinations. One is Reno and the other one is Las Vegas. So what exactly is problem gambling? We have a spectrum here from no problem to severe problem. And based on a California Prevalence Study back in 2006 in California, about 17% of the people are non gamblers. They have never gambled one time in their life. But surprisingly they are 70% of the people are casual and social gamblers meaning that they only gamble for fun, for entertainment. And then roughly about 9.5% of the people are at risk gamblers meaning that if they do not pay attention to their gambling behaviors, they might get addicted. And then about 2.2% of the Californians are problem gamblers. They already have problem gambling and if they do not seek help then they might become pathological gamblers which is the most severe stage. About 1.5% of the Californians are considered pathological gamblers which is mental health professional can make a diagnosis of it. Some warning signs that I wanna share with you all so that you can learn how to identify if a person has a gambling problem. So they will need to gamble with increasing amounts of money just to reach the desired excitement. And then when they try to cap down or stop gambling they will feel restless or irritable. And they will make repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cap back and stop gambling but they always fail. And the mind is fully occupied with gambling like where, when and how they can gamble. They couldn't stop thinking about gambling. And when they gamble, they oftentimes feel in distress helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed. And after losing so much money gambling, they will have this stubborn idea that they wanna go back to chase back all the losses to get even. And they will like to significant others about the gambling movement because they feel ashamed. And they will tend to jeopardize or loss a significant relationship, job or educational or career opportunity because of excessive gambling. And lastly, they will rely on others to relieve the desperate financial situation caused by gambling. Some people might end up being homeless because they could not afford to pay rent. So if you know someone has one of these warning signs it means that gambling has become a problem. And if you know someone has more than four of these warning signs, a mental health professional to make a diagnosis of gambling disorder. Problem gambling and vulnerable populations. Here we have a quote I really like. You are not alone, there's hope. There's hope. There's always a way to have a normal life again. And research indicated that approximately 83% of adults 21 and above in California have gamble at some time in their lives. Roughly 3.7% of adults are problem of pathological gamblers. This means that about 1.2 million Californians have a gambling problem. So as you all can see that roughly about 1.2 million Californians are potential gambling. They have gambling addiction. That's why it's important to help those in needs and know some of the gambling resources so that we can help those people out when it's needed. And here's some statistic I wanna share. I will quickly go over the slide so that I don't run out of time. Some data's out. For example, this is data from 1999. Some Chinese researcher, they conducted a survey, a research in San Francisco among Chinese adults and they identified that 14.5% of the Chinese adults met the criteria for problem gambler and 21% met the criteria for pathological gambler. So gambling was a really severe issue within the Chinese community. And also a study conducted by researcher among university student. 12.5% of the API population have gambling problem versus 4 to 5% among African American whites and American Indians and 11% among Latinos. But API populations do remain the highest prevalence of problem gambling. Yes, API stand for Asian Pacific Islanders. And some most recent statistic from 2016 by some university student, San Francisco State University student conducted survey on campus and then they found that 12.8% of the API student are probably pathological gamblers meaning that they might have gambling problems. And among those people, 15.7% are foreign born API students. And lastly, problem gambling among San Francisco youth, 11% among API youth and versus 2 to 6% national average. So it is a significant difference among API youth in San Francisco. There are a lot of challenges and triggers that make people become addicted to gambling such as immigration related issues. A lot of the, for example, a lot of the Chinese immigrants when they came to the United States, they would, many of them would just work in a service industry. So they will get off work really late. And sometimes they do not find many other ways to relax because of cultural and language barrier. That's why gambling seems to be a good resource for them because casino, you do not necessarily have to speak English and some staff can even speak your own language and some people might even joke that gambling is a universal language because as long as you know how games work, you do not have to say English or anything else. And also cultural acceptance in Asian cultures, also in Chinese culture, gambling is pretty common. Even in my own family during holidays, I actually grew up watching my family play mahjong during holiday and they also taught me how to play mahjong and poker cards when I was a kid because they just kind of assumed that playing mahjong or poker games with family is a good way to bond with each other. And also target marketing. I will later talk about target marketing and some stigma helps seeking behavior. In Chinese culture, it is not easy to reveal that you have a problem gambling because when you say that you are addicted to gambling, people will assume that you must have lost so much money. You should be ashamed. That's why a lot of the problem gamblers, they do not want to tell the significant ones about their gambling involvement because they will feel ashamed and they would just hide from the gambling addiction and then they never seek help. And also lack of culturally, linguistically appropriate resources, but in the days, there weren't that many culturally, linguistically appropriate services. That's why Nicos as one of the nonprofit organization, we implemented the Chinese Community Problem Gambling Project so that we can create more in language materials, resources for those that monolingual Chinese Americans. And gambling industry, they have this special target marketing.  And I can tell you that this Chinese means you got a big chance. This is the Chinese word for big, like saying that if you come, then you will get a big chance for winning money. And this is actually created by Grayton. Grayton is actually not far away from the Bay Area. And nowadays, if you pay attention to some of the bus station, they have the signs, the ads from Grayton. They actually pay a lot of money for this target marketing and they have all this in language advertisements. And for many community-based events, they have the biggest sponsor from all the casinos. And here we have the Dunder Valley. Dunder Valley is also not too far from Bay Area. And bilingual bi-cultural staff, casino, they will hire a lot of this bilingual bi-cultural staff so that they wanna make sure players, they will feel welcome and encouraged to gamble. And you do not have to speak English, you can directly speak to them in Chinese, Tagalog, or Spanish. And you will feel like home, they will treat you like VIP. That's why I love the customer. They will feel like casino may be a good way for them to relax, to escape from reality. And culturally competent physical space. This is the old MGM building. You can see this lion gate here. But in Chinese culture, there's a thing called Feng Sui, meaning that if you believe in luck, Chinese people will think that going through a lion's gate means bad luck. So shortly after that, MGM, they actually will build a whole casino. You can see they just bowed the lion's statue. So they believe this kind of cultural belief so that they wanna feel that all the customer are welcome and they will come to gamble more often as well. Familiar flavors. One of the key elements of casinos is they parfait because they offer all kinds of food like Chinese. You can have dim sum and have other Chinese cuisine as well. And cultuating customer loyalty. Casino, they have set out many buses in various location. Like I mentioned earlier, just in SF Chinatown, there are seven carriers that provide bus service. And this is like in language, bus advertisement. They just want to invite more people to gamble. And some problem gambling prevention tips so that you can learn how to avoid gambling excessively. So we should learn the facts. Like I mentioned three important concepts to remember, randomness, independence of events and house advantage. And you should always set a money and time limit and leave credit and debit cards at home. Avoid borrowing money because when you stop borrowing money, you will just borrow more and more. And lastly have a plan, win or lose. Do not be stubborn that I will not stop unless I win. And remember the house, gambling operators always win in the long run. Lastly, some resources I wanna share with you all. So there's a survey created by Office of Problem Gambling. You can just simply fill out the survey and then to identify if you have problem gambling or not. And this is the link problemgambling.ca.gov. And in California, actually in United States, each state has its own independence gambling hotline. In California, we have the 1-800-Gambler. I'm sure you all know how to dial gambler. And they have this 24 hours English, Chinese, they have various language assistance. And this is more for English speaking callers. And then at Nicos, we also operate this SF Bay Area bilingual English and Chinese gambling hotline. The number is 1-A-A-A-9-6-A-7-A-A-A. I said it before, Chinese people really like the number A. That's why our entity selected this phone number with so many A on it. And also in California, there's a program called CalGet, it stands for California Gambling Education Treatment Services. And they will provide free counseling treatments and also confidential. Some other online resources. I will just share the PowerPoint with SF Main Library. And I think you can just download the PDF and then you can check out all the links. Some websites such as California Console on Problem Gambling and National Console on Problem Gambling. And also self-exclusion, self-restriction form. At Nicos, we also assist clients with self-exclusion and self-restriction forms. And if you need help, you can call us and we can make an appointment and work for you. So this is the end of my presentation. And if you have any questions, you can call us or email me. Our office number is 415-7-A-A-6-4-2-6. And this is my work email address. Thank you all for listening. I hope I didn't run out of time. Okay, 41. You didn't run out of time. That was really interesting. How does self-exclusion work? So in California, I want to specify that in California, self-exclusion only works for car games. That's not worked for Indian casino, like tribal casino, because tribal casino, they have their own individual self-exclusion form. You will have to go through each individual Indian casino. But for car games in California, they have the standardized self-exclusion form. As long as you fill out the standardized self-exclusion form that it will apply to all car games, oh, sorry, car rooms. Also, you had another announcement you wanted to share. Oh, yeah. So Nicos-Chinese Health Coalition, we have this annual health fair event. I will just show the flyer one minute. So we have the Chinatown Community Health Fair. You all are welcome. It's free. It's taking place on October 22nd from 10 to three. And it's Chinatown YMCA. You can get all these free health screening. Such as blood glucose, blood pressure, bone density, dental vision. And for vaccine, we have COVID and flu shots as well. Plus, you can also have access to many online workshops as well. Can you all see the flyer? Yes, thank you. So a few people joined while you were talking. So I just want to remind everybody that we are recording this. So everybody will receive an email with a link to the recording if you want to watch it again or if you want to watch this later. And the slides as well.  So you'll get all that information later this afternoon. That was very interesting. Thank you very much. Is there any? Sure, yeah. Oh, there's something in the chat. So you got some nice, you got some thank yous. So I want to thank our presenter, Paco Chang. And everyone, you know, if you know someone who could benefit from this information, please share it with them. Later, I will share the slide with you Doreen so that if some participant would like to reveal the PowerPoint, you can also share with them. Okay. Yeah, all the information that you see on the screen will be emailed. So again, I don't see any more questions in the chat and it looks like it's about quarter till. So I want to thank everyone for coming. Thank you, Paco, for presenting. And I'm sure we'll see you again soon. Oh, and I want to remind everyone whether you're watching this live or you're watching the recording, you can come to the main library fourth floor and pick up a goodie bag from the Nicos Health Center. And that's free for everyone. So we will have them at the business and science desk. You can just come and ask for that. Okay. Well, thank you, everyone. I want to wish everybody a good day and a good afternoon. And thank you, Paco, for presenting this today. A pleasure. Thank you.


Hello everybody! In this video, I'm going to tell you how to unlock Smart Hub in Samsung TVs. At the moment, this guide is the only solution for this problem that is known to be effective. This video will be useful for all the people who suffered from the recent Smart TV locking by Samsung on 22 January and 4 February this year. So let's begin. Hello friends! If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore remote browser history, Hetman software products will help you. Follow the link in the description, download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. If you bought a TV from the so-called grey market, you may face the problem of its Smart Hub getting locked, which makes all of its apps no longer available for use. On the screen, you will see the words, this TV is not fully functional in this region. To fix the problem, you need to enter the service menu. And in order to get there, you should have a special service remote control or a smartphone with an infrared port and a special app. On the remote control, press Info – Factory. As to the smartphone, go to Play Store, find and download the application named RCOID3. Find the link in the description. Start the app and in the lower left corner here, click on the three dots and select Download RCOID file. Now look for the remote control for Samsung TV. What you need is the service remote control and you can find it at the bottom of the list. It is located as 2008m. Before you start configuring the settings, start to unplug the network cable from your TV, if this is how the television is connected to the router. Turn the TV off, if it's on, and turn it on from your phone, pressing the red power button. Now go on to press the buttons Info and Factory. It opens the service menu. When you are there, you can start using the standard remote control that came supplied with your TV. The only purpose of using the RCOID app was to get into the service menu. If you have a full-featured remote control, you can try getting into the service menu using this device and you can do it by slowly pressing the following sequence of buttons. Mute 1, 1, 9, Enter. Wait for the service menu to appear on the screen. Then press 1, 2, 3, 4 for the full menu to show up. This trick only works with some TV models. Now you should be very tender and follow the prescribed steps most carefully unless you want to break it to me. Open Options, Local Set. Set the following localization – EU-RS-AFR. Go down to find the line MRT option and open it. Navigate to Language Set and press Enter. Press the right button until you see CIS. Press Return. Now move to Region and make sure you select Pan Euro. For PNP language, set the language you prefer and Wi-Fi region as Q. Now the setup is complete. Move to Factor or Recept and press Enter. Now press Enter one more time. Wait for the TV to shut down. Now you need to change the IP address and for that matter you need a laptop or a desktop computer with a Wi-Fi model. Connect the computer to the router with an Ethernet cable, so that it will have an Internet connection from the cable and not from Wi-Fi. Wait until the connection icon changes into the cable connection. Now there are two apps you should download – Connectify and Hide Me VPN. Instead of Hide Me VPN, you can use any other VPN client you like. Install Connectify and agree to restart. Download, install and start Hide Me VPN. Choose the trial version. Change location to Germany, for example, and click to get connected. Open Connectify again. Click Internet to share settings and select Hide Me adapter. Set network access to rooted mode. Give the hotspot name and password. Click to start the hotspot. Enter the hotspot, for example, from your smartphone and check if the region has changed. For that purpose, use one of the services – QR.net or 2IP. It says the region is Germany, so it's okay. Now turn on the TV, select your language and press the right button. Click Next until you are suggested to select Wireless connection. Select your hotspot and enter the password. In the next window, with the Confidentiality policy, press the following buttons on the remote control. Fast forward to 89. Revind. At this stage, you can also use a different button sequence – mute, volume up, channel up, mute. Select your smart hub. The Confidentiality screen appears again. Select all checkboxes and press OK. Now sign in to your account. Click to create or sign in if you already have one. After all these manipulations, Samsung's smart hub should become active again. Now you can turn off the hotspot and connect the TV by Wi-Fi or by network cable. And that is all for now. I hope this video helped you to fix the problem.

To study film and to see how hard he's working to make the film industry amazing. And take it to the next level. I celebrate you.  Really quickly. What's up with you? Thank you, wix. This is the first time I've been appreciated in Blamely. Thank you very much. This, okay, I nominate. Let me nominate someone I think has been overworking. Tiyani. What are you going to make, Swahili? Whom do you want to nominate? We have to create a video. I'm going to nominate you. Like I think, I nominate Jaki Vike. Jaki, Jaki, here you go. Perhaps the last one, alright? Okay, Jaki. I'm going to nominate you. Thanks, Pujita. I'm going to nominate Swahili. Finally. First of all, I'm dissatisfied because I'm a full hour. I'd love to nominate Wilson. I love you. I love your content. I'm going to nominate you. I'm going to nominate you. For the remaining three roses, I'll first be the one to nominate the person who deserves it, not necessarily the influencer, but anyone in the room, right? So this one goes to one of the parties that has been really great to me. Sejuichi Nafi and Nani, but he deserves a rose. Are you touched, Rosa? All right, what do you have to say, sir? Okay, hello, guys. I'm Kelvin. Thank you for coming. I'll turn the screen. Thank you. Thank you for coming to NSK. She'll come for more poxels at the Ellen Bar. NSK, NSK is where we make our own poxels, our signature poxels, the best of all in the world. So if you have never shared one, please do before you leave. Thanks a lot. All right, I'd love to personally give this to our boss. Wamboyo, he also deserves a rose. She's been doing really excellent.


Hi, Dr. Jared here with Pediatric General Seminars. I'm super excited for our upcoming webinar next week with the Olandorf Appliance Laboratory. They are a great appliance laboratory and I think Kevin is gonna have a lot that we can learn from him with the digital workflow and also what common aerosolab sees to make it so that you can prevent making those mistakes in your practice and have smoother appointments when you're going to fit your space maintainers. I know there's a lot to cover. We're also gonna cover what type of space maintainers are available and when to use them. So we look forward to seeing you there. Hope you have a great week.


The reason why you don't feel good around the Narcissist The reason why you don't always feel good about yourself The reason why you always feel angry or upset The reason for this is because emotions are very contagious Emotions are energy in motion Energy that is being transferred from one person to another From the Narcissist to you When you are around them You are ticking on their emotions So if they don't feel happy with themselves If they're not happy with their own lives Then that's exactly how you're going to feel Because emotions are contagious Their emotions, feelings or attitudes Can spread and affect you Until you begin to feel the way that they do Narcissists are operating on a very low frequency A frequency that has very low energy Energy that lacks motion Energy that is very thick and dense When you begin to feel trapped You begin to feel like you can't move Like you can't accomplish anything Like you just want to give up You feel this way around the Narcissist Because you are tuning into their frequency They vibrate primarily on the frequencies of pride, anger, desire, fear, grief, apathy, guilt and shame And when you are around them You get pulled into their frequencies You get pulled into their way of thinking and feeling Until you no longer feel good anymore Because you have tuned into their frequency It's like tuning the dial on one of those old radios You are adjusting yourself to the frequency of their signal You are adapting to their particular purpose or situation Which really has nothing to do with you And it is not something that you would naturally resonate with They have to pull you down to their level Into their way of existing Until you can no longer experience the peace, love and joy that you would naturally feel And it gives them great satisfaction to do this Because they are envious of your vibration They wish they could experience life in the way that you do But they can't So they don't want you to either You have to separate yourself from these narcissists Go no contact Because you cannot be around them and still vibrate at a high frequency They will always pull you down Until you feel miserable Until you no longer see the good in your life Because that's exactly how they feel Emotions are contagious And that energy can be transferred into you Which is why you don't feel good around the narcissist Thank you for watching I hope this video resonated with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe Click the bell icon to receive notifications for my future videos If you are delighted to donate My PayPal link is in the video description Coaching inquiries you can email me at www.coachingagmail.com Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon

My name is Maria Clavé. I'm the president of Harvey Mike College in Claremont, California. I'm sorry I can't be with you in person, but I'm delighted to be able to talk with you by video. I'm going to be telling you a little bit about what our Computer Science Department did to dramatically increase the number of women majoring in computer science at Harvey Mike College. When I arrived nine years ago, the number of women are each year graduating with a computer science major was between one and three. Which was about 10% of the number of people in our computer science major. And I'm very happy to say that after about four years that number had dramatically increased so that the number of women graduating were about 40% of our CS major. And in fact in the last couple of years the number of women graduating has been about 30 rather than one to three. The things that our department did were relatively straightforward. They were not particularly difficult or expensive. And the reason I want to tell you about them is in the hope that many other universities and colleges will be interested in trying some of their techniques at their own institutions. So very briefly what our department did was it did three things. It changed our introductory course to make it less intimidating and more attractive and interesting. It offered to take first-year female students to the Grace Hopper celebration of women in computing each fall and it offered research experiences to a smaller number of students, female students between their first and their second year. So let me talk in a little bit more detail about specifically what the department did. So one thing you should know is that every student at Harvey Mudd has to take a computer science course in their first semester. They also have to take math, physics, and chemistry and a writing course and many other things. So it's not unusual that they're taking a computer science course. But the course we were teaching, which was a pretty standard introduction to computer science, was framed by the students as learning to program in Java. Now of course it actually taught a lot more than just how to program in Java. It taught a lot about the basic concept in computer science. But the students thought of it as learning to program in Java and it was one of the least liked required courses that students had to take in their first semester. When our faculty revised the course, they very deliberately framed it as creative problem-solving using computational approaches in Python. Now Python like Java is a very popular programming language in industry, but unlike Java it's relatively easy to learn. Now the other part of that was creative problem-solving. Pretty much all of the young women that I know would love to be seen as a creative problem solver. Most of the young men too. And so talking about it being creative problem-solving made it much more attractive. And in fact in teaching the same concepts that were in the old course, our faculty made a special effort to teach the concepts around how those concepts were a tool in solving a real-world problem. And the homework assignments also offered the opportunity for students to apply their knowledge to real-world problems. Now the other thing that our faculty did was they addressed something that I will call the intimidation problem. So one of the things that commonly happens in your first computer science course is there are one or two people in the course who seem to know almost as much as the instructor. They're always answering questions and asking questions and the questions that they ask and answer are talking about things that most of the other students in the room don't have a clue about. And it's very scary for the other students because the other students just especially the young women assume that oh everybody else in the class knows all of this stuff. I really don't belong here. I'll never be able to compete with people who know so much. And so one of the things our instructors did was to talk to these individuals, almost always boys, and say, Joe, I love having you in my class. You're a great student. I love how passionate you are about computer science. But you probably don't realize that some of the other students in the class are feeling quite intimidated by how much you know. Let's take our conversations offline. Let's have them one-on-one, perhaps in office hours. And Joe and the other young men in the class who knew so much are always happy to have those conversations out of class if you ask them nicely about it. The other thing our faculty did was to divide the course into two sections. Our colors are gold and black. One section is called CS5 Gold. That's for the people who know pretty much nothing about computer science when they arrive at Harvey Mudd. The other one is CS5 Black, which is for the students who have perhaps taken one year of computer science in high school. Now we always have a few students who have taken way too much computer science to be in CS5 at all. And so we put them in a separate section called CS42, which covers the first two computer science courses in our sequence. Now in addition to making this course be about creative problem solving using computational approaches, we also emphasize a lot of teamwork because we know that when you're learning to program for the first time, it can be quite frustrating and lonely. And by having people work together using a technique called pair programming, we found that both males and females enjoyed the course a lot more. Now let me talk a little bit about taking students to Hopper. Hopper is held every fall. It moves around the country in the U.S. They have also been coding some versions of Hopper in India and I believe in Britain. And we also have some regional versions that move around the United States. The general idea is it brings together several thousand, last fall it was eight thousand, several thousand women and a few men to talk about careers in technology, new kinds of research, career advice, just a wide variety of things. But it's a very exuberant, exciting experience. So if you haven't been to a Hopper yet, you should try to get to go to one. It's really very exciting. And what we found was that for our first year female students, just going and seeing so many excited, exuberant, happy women was a hugely positive experience for them. Now the final thing was that we know from research that if we offer young women and also underrepresented minorities the opportunity to be engaged in a research project early in their university experience, they're much more likely to persist in the major. And so for four years we offered between eight and twelve young women between the first year at MUD and the second year at MUD the opportunity to be part of a summer research experience. Now we actually offer a lot of these research experiences across all disciplines in science and engineering at MUD and we often offer them to our male students as well as our female students. But in this particular case it was really the first time our computer science department had offered them at such an early stage. Often these experiences are available after your second or third year as an undergraduate. All of these together took the number of female students graduating in our CS major from less than three or at three to around thirty. Now you might say, so how does that work? I mean that's a multiple of ten. Could that really be going from ten to forty percent? Well of course what really happened was the things we did to make that intro course more interesting to the young women in the class also made it more interesting to many of the young men. And so now we have seen that the size of our computer science major has almost tripled over the nine years that I've been at Harvey Mide College. Now each of these things we have written several papers about them. We make the materials for our introductory computer science course available on a Harvey Mide website. And soon we're going to be offering a massive open online course and MOOC via edX that will also provide a lot of the resources for our introduction to computer science course. Now one thing I should make clear is when we made these changes it's not that our young women would take one, take the intro CS class and say, oh I'm going to be a CS major. No, they'd say, oh that's a great course. I think I'm going to take the next course which is the CX 60. Then they'd get a, they didn't get a summer research experience. They'd get an industry internship at a place like Microsoft or Google or Facebook. They'd have a good experience there and then they'd say, okay I'm going to take the next course in the sequence which is CS 70 and usually sometime in the below CS 70 they'd go, I really like this. This is great. I guess I could be a CS major. So I think the real story about all this is computer science is a fascinating discipline. It has amazing job opportunities and opportunities to make contributions to the world today. And if we simply take away the fear factor and encourage everyone it makes the learning experience much better for everyone and it attracts young women and it keeps young women. Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful day in Geneva.
