Many rivers in Wyoming flow through narrow rock-walled canyons. These canyons make an excellent location for reservoirs, as you can see from the one behind me. Reservoirs are built for a variety of reasons, ranging from water storage to irrigation allocation and hydroelectricity. These structures affect and alter the river structure, flora, fauna, and ecosystem of the river. The alterations can provide positive and negative impacts depending on the particular species of interest. The water released directly below the reservoirs is sometimes referred to as tailwaters. Many trout species benefit from tailwaters. Due to the specific heat of water, water released is abnormally warmer in the winter. The opposite is true for summer, with abnormally colder water released. Sediments are also trapped within the reservoir, releasing low turbidity making tailwaters ideal habitat for native and non-native trout. Other species, however, do not benefit. Migratory fish species that need to move up and down the river system for breeding and feeding locations become trapped. Bypasses are structures that are built to allow fish passage. While all tailwaters are not productive trout fisheries, there are many opportunities that exist within the state for outdoor enthusiasts.

The Star Wars Episode 7 toys have been one of the closest guarded secrets in toy history and we're delighted to finally be unveiling those toys today in our own Star Wars Toy Museum. I've been collecting the Star Wars for over 30 years now. My earliest memories were on Christmas Day, opening up the attack which we see here today and being excited by that. Going to the cinema for the first time, my father in 1983 to watch Return of the Dead Eye and then seeing the new films released and obviously the new films coming out soon. So it's been with me for my whole life. One way that I used to do my yearly Christmas list was to get an Argos catalogue and cut the pictures out and give it to my parents. So it's extremely exciting every year and I'm incredibly grateful and happy to be here today on the launch.  So being into it since I was sort of seven or eight, I don't know what it is about Star Wars that grabs hold of you but it's still got me. Star Wars toys have changed remarkably over the years. We've very limited articulation to the figures we see today where you can move them around. The vehicles have changed a lot as well. They've got sounds, lights and the new Millennium Falcon's even got a gun you can fire from. So they've changed us a great deal. I particularly like the LEGO toys that have been released, particularly the Special Forces TIE Fighter which gives a bit of a dark slam on the original vehicle and I know features a lot in the new film. Star Wars has been around for 40 years. It attracts a lot of age ranges, a lot of generations are interested in it. We've all grown up with it and it's got humour, it's got romance, it's got action, all the things that make a great series and a great film. As one of the UK's oldest toy retailers, Argos has been selling Star Wars toys in it since 1979. We're expecting the new toys to be in huge demand this Christmas so we're recommending that people buy these toys early to avoid disappointment.


Welcome traders to another Tick-Mill Charter with me Patrick Munnally. I just want to draw your attention to a opportunity I've just taken in the Swiss Yen 4-hour time frame. We had a double bottomed form here at the 113 78. We popped high, we came into the long-term volumize average price and stalled out at this 114.6. We got this nice bearish rejection candle on the last four-hour close where we entered short positions on the close. I'm now looking for this price to break down through projected daily range support at the 114.40 and ultimately to get a test of the major monthly double bottom here down to 113.36 where we have the predicted monthly range support. As always traders, plan the trade, trade the plan and most importantly, manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


Could have played the the audio through for that Twin Peaks trailer, but it just would have been Over and over again I've never been I've never been into Twin Peaks. You're not alone. I'm starting to it I want to watch the second episode of American Gods, but I need to do it Well Ellie is not asleep or not as not awake running around because it's gory and stuff Yeah, I get that especially the first scene of the first episode. Yeah Like it was pretty I mean, I almost felt it was almost borderline gratuitous Wait, sorry, what was this? The violence in the American Gods Yeah, I still ain't seen it I got stars so I could watch it, but I still ain't seen it You bought stars and never watched it. That's right, buddy I got it and I'll watch it eventually. I'll watch it when I want to be honest like everybody's super hype for it and I got it and I thought we were gonna talk about it on like hotline and Everybody hated it. I'm like, well, no, I loved it. You love it. Yeah. Well love may be a strong I don't I liked it quite a bit. I like it. I Just felt that I just I mean, I only saw the first episode. So, you know, I expressed my my Opinions to Tom really the only thing that kind of but that I that I could Wrong it for was the fact that some of a lot of the acting is just kind of middle the road There's some really good actors, but you know for the majority of it's just kind of middling acting. I disagree Okay, I know I have not noticed that Although we did talk about Shadow and I don't think shadow Has the same level of desperation that he does I'm just really really really excited to when we were talking about this on hotline Monday to find out that Ian McShane Lives in your neck of the woods Tom of Venice Beach. Oh Like yes, Los Angeles. So does every other but oh, he's like over here. Good run in. Yeah Can go down to the corner store and be like go to a bar and see if you find them when Brian and I were at that That that Mexican dance hall down the road from you, right? To a burning the late night oil Ian machine Yeah Well, someone just rang the doorbell upstairs, which is always good times So the guys are gonna bark until One time somebody did that and it was a time-order cable salesperson. Oh Really? Yeah, they came down and knocked on the bottom door because they heard me down here And I had to get up in the middle of the show and go over and tell them. No, thank you All right, I think we're good though. We're not even late.  Yeah, let's go Alrighty then Daily Tech news show is powered by you to find out more head to Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Thursday, May 11th 2017 I'm Tom Merritt and we are here to help you understand the avalanche of tech news Hot password advice hot windows news and a cool Justin Robert Young here to help. Oh Man, I'm the sour cream To to even out the flavor profile of this tech news enchilada.  Let's not get carried away No, we are gonna talk about oh, yeah, no, absolutely. It's a soy based sour cream. Oh, we're gonna talk about a All the the Microsoft build announcements Microsoft build a little weird in that the more consumer Related announcements come on day two this year Yeah, well, I mean, what do you think that that's a Man trying to think day wise like I guess Thursday might be a slightly better news day than Wednesday. I don't know I don't know if that's it or if they're just shaking things up You know you got three. Well, no, I think that maybe it makes sense I think we would agree that it's better to segregate the retail stuff from the developer stuff Sure, you hit the developer enterprising stuff on day one get get the fans excited. Yeah. Yeah, and then and then the retail stuff I mean, it should be separate. Yeah, and this is this is a just retail obviously This is still very developer oriented, but but it's the stuff consumers will also care about let's start with a few tech things You should know Microsoft announced the next update to Windows 10 will be called the fall Creators update that won't be confusing already. I caught I do. I won't embarrass the writer I caught a news outlet writing creators update instead of fall creators update by accident Didn't give a date for the release, but I would assume it will be in the fall, Justin Yeah, I was gonna say that the natural punchline is the fall creators update comes out March 1st a Twitter signed a multi-year deal with the National Football League to live stream pregame coverage and a 30 minute Daily football news and analysis program Tom Do we need more pregame pregame from Twitter? I don't think so, but are you ready for some bidding on NFL? Rights when they become available again Oh Advocate general may say Spoon are advised the European Court of Justice that uber is a transport company and must obtain Authorization to operate in Europe. Spoon are said uber does quote much more than link supply and demand It created this demand itself now the court doesn't have to do what the advocate general says, but they most often do In my country there is problem and that problem is transport Now here are some more top stories Verizon officially outbid AT&T to acquire straight path communications for $3.1 billion those of you have been following the drama of 5g spectrum acquisition will be very excited about this revelation straight path if you recall owns about 95% of the 39 gigahertz spectrum in the US that's Significant because to make good use of the 39 gigahertz spectrum you have to own most of it So straight path was a big prize here They also own a significant amount of the 28 gigahertz spectrum in big markets like San Francisco in New York Anyway, if you want to roll out 5g, this is a feather in your cap AT&T had agreed to buy straight path on April 10th But was outbid the next day by an intern multinational telecommunications company who apparently was Verizon Had five days to respond to that initial offer and we didn't hear anything for a month So kind of implies there might have been a bidding more here. Yeah, again one month between when AT&T Had made the purchase had other people at five days to match Verizon matches and we I guess at that point it just goes internally But AT&T had five days to match they must have matched because we didn't hear about it five days later, right? Apparently so so so now I mean unless there's there's maybe other due diligence. There's other. Yeah other people involved That's true, but still this is Verizon saying Despite the fact that they are being attacked Certainly in the public by companies like Sprint and T-Mobile and and AT&T that Networks are equal now So consumers should pay attention to things like price and flexibility and the freedom to do what you want with your minutes And stuff like that They want to continue to hold their high ground that we have the Best network and if you know anything about mobile networking The the assurances that that will continue to be true Are five years delayed right by the spectrum now so it can be in use Years and years from now when the technology catches up with and hopefully scores you some points on the reliability and and service provision service reliability service quality Scale so good good thing for Verizon and Stoic squirrel in our chat room asks a very pertinent question Why did straight path own the spectrum? Were they using it as a matter of fact? No straight path got fined a couple I don't I don't remember the exact amount they got fined a lot For not using the spectrum that they had bought and the fine gets reduced to a few million If they sell the company or the spectrum to somebody who will use it So straight path was still was motivated to sell because they wanted to get out of that fine And they still got themselves into a bidding war Lighthouse tom a company from android co-founder andy rubens accelerator Announced an indoor 1080p smart camera with night vision light house uses deep learning and 3d sensing to determine Who is in the house and whether it is normal? And alert by app if it sinks if it thinks something is amiss It can also determine if the dog has been walked and alert parents when kids are home The app has voice recognition and you can ask it questions pre-orders today started $399 with a year of service $499 for three years and $599 if you want to go all in with this product that has literally zero reviews Five years of service if you believe this startup can last for five years giving in this in in in september this year You know we had a bit of a back and forth on this In our little pre-show that we do on my twitch channel twitch.tv slash justin our young That I almost think that this really isn't a story It's a product that nobody knows whether it's good or not. Certainly it is promising fantastical things And the idea that you have to build in service for it is New in that space Tell me why i'm wrong Uh, you're not wrong. Uh, it is a product. We don't know anything about that While andy rubin has expressed faith in it andy rubin isn't running the company. It just comes out of his accelerator Yeah, but the one thing I will by the way is the same time that that when you ever see a random movie It just says from the people that brought you another I have a feeling the rubin takes a little more active hand than say erlich bachman from silicon valley and his accelerator But but yeah, I get I get your point. Yes. It's also to be if jerry brugheimer is a On your on your movie then you're gonna say from the people that brought you. Yeah. Yeah Now that said it's a shipping product Like a lot of times you hear these as demos at ces or or or an nda that was released This is a product you can pre-order today. You can put your money down It's going to ship in september and if it turns out to do what they say it's going to do I think it's a significant step in this, you know, practical use of machine learning and ai because This has got elements of your voice assistant of your smart speaker But it's in a camera and that's pretty cool if if if I can talk to my app and say Hey, let me know when my husband gets home and the camera knows who my husband is Can recognize that and when he walks in the door It sends me an alert say hey your husband's home Then that's that's pretty impressive and pretty useful and differentiates it from say nest or or others That do some computer vision and recognition on a very simple level Yes Now I do want to add one caveat. It is a product with a ship date. It is not a shipping product Fair enough Right So so there is that the idea that a new product could be delayed to make Ensure that all the bugs are worked out of it would certainly wouldn't be the first product ever to take people's money and not ship on time Exactly But all that I mean the fact that that has happened most people don't take your money until they're pretty sure they're going to ship No, no, no, no, no, and I think this will come out, right? whether or not this will become on the grand scheme of From echo to juicero. We don't know exactly where it's going I think it's I think it's definitely closer to echo I don't think it's on the juicero side because this is real tech Where it where it could diverge from echo is if it just doesn't work as promised and it ends up being like well Yeah, it can tell who people are some of the time It's really not that much more sophisticated than what nest does Then it then it starts to disappoint. So but that but that is the issue, right? Yeah, yeah When when you look at what broke echo through It was that whenever you said something 90 percent of the time it recognized what you said and it spit back a reliable answer And that's that was with the problem with video stuff before or sir voice activated stuff before This is uncharted ground. We will see how well they do Ian in our chat room whom I love Uh does not disappoint in chat room pedantry when he says but juicero works has promised That's a fair it's a fair point All right, uh, we talked about the snap earnings yesterday, uh losing money at a greater rate than people expected Five percent growth in in active users Not as as fast as they have been What we didn't have yesterday was the earnings call and yesterday evan spiegel spent a lot of time emphasizing over and over That they don't care about getting the most users They they don't want to just do things to attract users by by sending notifications and tricking people into spending all their time on their app They want quality users over quantity They think that they can better serve advertisers who pay money to reach them if they have quality users And he also said he's not worried about facebook and instagram copying them saying pretty much that you know Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery Two things out of that that we can pick through and one of them I believe is a direct reaction to Some of the unfavorable comparisons that people were making between snapchat and twitter as Sort of uh, you know twitter being sort of this cautionary tale of a once red hot company that has kind of been wayward in the eyes of investors snapchat specifically in saying quality over quantity or quantity quality over quantity Is saying we don't want to make them a the same mistake as twitter about chasing wrong numbers That devalues our product and then forces us to make embarrassing deletions of gigantic of fields of of fake twitter accounts or inactive twitter accounts that then puts A larger harsher light on whatever growth that we have We want to make clear from the beginning that this is uh, not we're not going to have that problem yeah I on the one hand Absolutely agree with evan spiegel You should be going after quality users You shouldn't use what he calls growth hacks because it ends up causing more problems in the long run Then it solves And he said the way to try to help people understand how we think about daily active user growth Is really through the lens of creativity and creation they they want people to create good things on the platform And that's how they judge whether they've got good users However, he said through the lens of creativity and creation and then immediately pivoted into talking about lenses And said people enjoy looking like a puppy and things like that I'm going to ignore that and move on to his his statement that he is not afraid of facebook and instagram tom the grand jedi master yoda once told luke skywalker you will be Is this a little foolhardy by by spiegel? Here's the thing he says if you want to be a creative company You got to get comfortable with and basically enjoy the fact that people are going to copy your products If you make great stuff that is a fine thing to say If you keep making great stuff If everyone's saying well, yeah, instagram copied snapchat, but look what snapchat's got now And they just released a bunch of new features yesterday That allow you to like the magic eraser Or you can erase something from your snap and it just automatically fills in the background Evan spiegel is banking on those kinds of features being popular and seen as new things that nobody else copies And that snapchat will continue to be ahead of the curve That's a tough game to win. You have to continually be inventive And not only be inventive, but actually be an inventive in a way that that people appreciate and use And and so there is the challenge and I think a lot of us are looking at snapchat lately saying, okay You've got new features, but I i'm starting to wonder why I use you Yeah All I know is that when you actually listen if you listen very very closely to him saying that uh that he's not afraid Of of instagram and facebook If you listen very very closely, you can hear a slight rattling, which is the chains of the ghosts of vine Just just shaking its fists uh to to heed the warning of what happened six seconds That's that's why now you can watch an image for as long as you want you can have forever uh court in Yeah, it gets arena berg russia gave us a Spended three and a half year jail sentence and 160 hours of community service to a blogger Ruslan a sokholsky For inside i used you did it so much better earlier today sokolovsky sokolovsky Uh sokolovsky hosted a video on youtube of himself playing pokemon go in a russian orthodox church while using strong language and mocking christianity After the sentencing sokolovsky said Quote i'm content. I won't play pokemon. It's already out of fashion and quote tom what's the bigger story here the uh chilling effect on free speech Or the fact that this kid doesn't want to play pokemon no more Yeah, I think this is why this is burning up the charts on on places like our subreddit Is that quote uh, I mean the idea that someone got fined For playing pokemon in a church is capturing people's imaginations sad fact is that's not what happened Uh, he got fined uh and and and a suspended prison sentence for saying things that were controversial about religion in russia And russia has very strict laws about it these days. Uh, so it didn't have to do with that However, his his sort of you know, pokemon's already out of fashion Comment is is amusing Yeah, uh You know, this is one of those stories where it's it's it's evidently super funny to read and and uh, Despite the fact that it is kind of chilling if you read it in a certain way. It is just kind of funny, right? Yeah, if you leave out if you leave out the uh, the serious part, uh, the whole pokemon part is pretty fine Uh, the us national institute of standards and technology has issued new draft guidelines on password requirements NIST says users should be able to pick whatever password they want So no requirements for special characters. No capital letters No, all you have to pick, you know an exclamation point or a hashtag or no none of that pick whatever you want However The following passwords should be disallowed by the company you're creating the account with So if it's a known password from a previous breach Kick it out if it's a dictionary word kick it out if it's a repetitive or sequential character 1 2 3 4 5 a b c d e Kick it out if it's a context specific word like it's the name of the service or it's the person's actual username Kick it out. Uh, NIST also recommends not requiring users to change passwords frequently They say that just leads to people trying to use insecure passwords Uh, so let them pick one let them keep it long keep it forever and uh, And you enforce The things that are going to make it crackable The idea being like yes, of course if you put an exclamation point and a percentage sign And a bunch of random words together that is a stronger password But forcing people to do that who aren't motivated to do that causes them to do things like put the exclamation point In place of the letter i and that is an eminently crackable pattern of behavior so What they're saying is right, you know if somebody wants to make long random secure passwords or use a password to manage a grade But if you're making people do something make them pick a password that isn't in a dictionary or in a database breach Or very obviously going to be crackable this is Brilliant and amazing and awesome and until somebody's smarter than me about technology and security tells me otherwise I will continue to say so out loud I love the idea that for the first time Like this just feels like common sense Like we live in a world where you are able to search for your breached passwords Why is there not a publicly, uh, you know an available database to say? Yeah, you use that password That's already out on the internet So we're not going to allow you to use that here because We're just exposing our service in the same way that you've already exposed yourself on other places or The the idea of like I think it is it's I have more often switched to insecure passwords Because I've either had overly restrictive Guidelines to make a password And so I just wind up making one up or I make one up and I can't remember it And I wind up switching it to the most least secure version of that I possibly can like just because I can it's easier to remember it and yes, I should have one password And yes, I should have all these other things. I don't Don't add me But I think this makes so much more sense to just raise the baseline Yeah, and and graded there you can poke a lot of holes in this because you are telling people Guides your guidelines don't make every password the most secure that it could be right? You want a 20 character long random password with special characters if you want the most secure password We and we all know that and we talked to barton buchats about that last week But if you're saying what should we force people to do well right now? They do like eight character password forcing and and and one special character that they just put it play That's not making more secure passwords I think these guidelines will actually make more secure passwords because one of the other things they're encouraging is Encourage your users to use phrases like take the bunny out to the fairgrounds in march Is a hard to crack password because it's long and it's even though it's got dictionary words in it The dictionary words strung together are not in an order that is easily found So you you know, you can get them to do even memorable passwords that are at least more secure than you know Uh password with a four instead of the a or something stupid like that The the the greatest the reason why I love listening to people like uh, Shannon morris and darin kitchen at hack five is because they both have such an amazing grasp on The fact that security is only as good as human nature. Yeah The reason why social engineering works is because you understand human nature. It's it's a lot like magic Yeah, it doesn't matter if you ask people to create a 20 character That has four special characters because if my uncle was a woman, she'd be my aunt, right? Like This brings us closer to hey Do the best you can In a way that you can remember your passwords for these different services and let's just Avoid the worst as opposed to forcing them and letting them fail at doing the best And don't forget folks this these are the guidelines. They're asking websites and services to put in place These aren't the guidelines. They're telling people the guidelines. You're telling people are still like use a password manager and make it totally random Uh, you know use long passwords with with random characters and things like that That guideline hasn't changed. This is how do you enforce it on the website end? And I think this is pretty good If you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines.com don't go do it right now It'll it'll change your ability to be up on technology You can not only get it as a podcast but on the amazon echo and in the anchor app at anchor.fm We are not done. However, because as we mentioned fall creators update windows 10 coming Presumably of the fall, uh, and we've got a bunch of other microsoft build announcements So i'm going to run through these and get justin's reaction as a consumer to these announcements Are you ready justin? Are you sitting comfortably? I'm ready to consume Microsoft announced a ui refresh for windows 10 as well Previously called project neon the official public name is the microsoft fluent design system It's intended to be a successor to the microsoft metro design Will apply across not only windows but ios and android apps as well Most of the changes include subtle things like blur effects people already comparing it to windows vista And microsoft says it is focusing on light depth motion material and scale Along with this they did a demo of a new inking feature showing the ability to annotate anywhere in windows You know Windows has continued to look a little bit more aesthetically pleasing I think that they are continuing to march down that path and that is good for me Yeah, and uh, I don't know so far it looks pretty I want to see it in full on action But the idea is to make things look like they're moving As long as that's the only way it's like windows vista i'm fine with it microsoft is expanding its graph service that lets developers get data out of apps and cloud services microsoft adding devices And third party apps to the graph uh previously it was users and documents So it really worked for file sharing mostly, but now It's working more like handoff one effect could be users having the ability to start a task say on an android phone May you're you're doing uh, you're doing a spreadsheet on your android phone And finish it on the laptops version, but it doesn't even have to be a microsoft app It could be some other kind of app that's just using the graph to handoff to windows There's also a cloud based clipboard that will launch with the fall creators update That will integrate with microsoft owned swift key and allow you to cut and paste across devices So you can cut some text on windows and then paste it on your iphone as long as you're using swift key Uh pretty much any device that uses cortana becomes part of the graph as well Cortana can do things like if you're using let's say you're using an app to uh to do do a checklist To do list on your windows machine and you turn on your iphone and you've got cortana on your iphone Cortana can say hey, there's a there's an ios version of that to do list Would you like to install it and it can direct you to the app store to do it? This is very exciting to me because it begins I think a very uh, you know rather it doesn't begin it continues a very meaningful transition of microsoft to a company that doesn't feel that if they Don't own the entire playpen. They don't want to play in it that that their answer to other services is to build better services and force when i force but but make it Make it the reason why you want to stay in the windows ecosystem This is a more open microsoft. This is a microsoft that i believe is just more in tune with reality frankly that Like me and you tom we own both We don't you see we own ios devices We own android devices the more that they can all talk to each other the better our life is and that is a good Ray of sunshine another another graph element is windows timeline that shows you everything you did on your device And it gives you a chance to jump back So it's not like a restore point necessarily But it's like oh, you know i was working on this file two days ago What what was it? Where is it? You just go look in timeline find it and jump right back in Where you are so that's another one of these graph elements. It's kind of cool There's a new video and slideshow creation app coming called windows story remix That's coming in the file creators update as well. It can automatically mix your media into a shareable clip or let you do it yourself Now this sounds familiar We've had a lot of apps promise to do this But this one's got some pretty impressive machine learning in it that helps create montages Choices you make on videos and remixes help the ai learn what style you like You can also search for people And things like you can say show me all my dog videos show me all my cat videos Show me all my uncle herald videos It will eventually be able to integrate 3d objects into videos for special effects So one of the examples they showed was a kid in a halloween costume Casting a spell on an empty driveway and they put a 3d effect of a dinosaur That like raised up its wings to attack and the kid cast the spell and the dinosaur disappeared Capture apps that work with story remix will be available for ios android and windows phone Those will just be able to capture stuff that you then use on windows to create these video time these little video montages You know You mentioned before that there's so many of these kinds of apps and they all sort of do the same thing But they do their credit kind of incrementally move this forward I don't exactly have a ton of use for it, but I am fully preparing myself that one day There's just going to be a button. I can press that makes a full feature length Quentin Tarantino ask movie with all of my media plays perfectly. So uh good another step down the Pathway you because you are not one of eileen's uncles making a video for tita dolly's Birthday, uh, you don't need this but this is going to be useful in a lot of other or other very popular, uh, twitter accounts that Need to put together various, uh video clips Also coming in the fall update is one drive files on demand That can take data from the cloud version of one drive as needed So that you can see all your one drive files, but they all don't have to be taken up space on your local drive There'll be status icons and file explorer to tell you which files are available locally Which ones are in the cloud and recently open files will remain available offline. So it'll automatically manage that Nice, uh, you know, um, do you use one drive? I do I kind of use it as cold storage though. I don't I don't use it actively except for some of my writing Yeah, just because it's easier to put it there because you're writing on a piece Yeah, because a lot of times I'm writing on my surface pro or my surface book And so I want to make sure I have the the word documents Easily available. I think that that that is an interesting thing that it kind of happens now is that we're not in a world anymore Where it's like, well, I just use blank because blank is the easiest and it's the best Everybody kind of uses a lot of different places for online storage and ultimately you just want to make sure that your port Is as clean and reliable as it possibly can be Microsoft showed up motion controllers for devices that use Microsoft's mixed reality software The controllers work with sensors in the headset. So you don't need external sensors They have a thumb stick a touchpad and a wand like design with a tracking ring on the end So they're a little bit vive a little bit oculus rift They'll be sold alongside the variety of Microsoft mixed reality headsets Coming out this holiday. Acer will bundle a controller with a headset for $399 The controllers, however, will not work with the hololeds. These are just with the third party Microsoft mixed reality Headsets and we got the first two are available for pre-order Acer's $299 mixed reality headset dev kit and hp's $329 headset dev kit up for pre-order today shipping the summer from the Microsoft store That Acer one is the same headset that will be bundled with the controller, but the controller won't be coming out till the holiday season Do you look at this as an ominous or tent for hololens? No, I don't hololens development hardware arriving in china by the end of the month. So they are still Serious about hololens. I think they're trying to wait for be very patient and wait for that killer app For hololens. This is Microsoft saying we've got VR stuff Let's let's work with our partners to be out there with competitive offerings that are cheaper than the oculus rift and the HTC Vive Yeah, and and at the same time Hold our powder dry for hololens, which we think is going to be amazing So they're they're just saying hey look our partners want to do this. Yeah, we're gonna give them a thing Enjoy it. Although that doesn't exactly give the most tremendous photocop But it's for these products that are being pre ordered right now Yeah, and as much as Microsoft calls it mixed reality. They're just VR headsets This is just microsoft's play to compete, you know with VR Uh the xamarin live player lets you develop ios apps on windows without a mac You just need the live player app for ios. There's also a live player app for android So it's super easy. All you need is the device and your windows machine You don't need to have another development environment. You don't need xcode Any more to develop ios you can do it right on windows This is another one of those another one of those opening up the gates. Yep opening up The restrictions one might say that satchamania is still running wild Well, let me feed let me feed that fire Microsoft has a version of ubuntu available in the windows app store right now And it's adding fedora and susa soon so that you linux heads can run your linux apps Right there on windows easy I mean you could do this before and you know some kind of emulator, but now you just buy it You just get it out of the app store. You don't even buy it.  There is itunes for windows already It's a win 32 app a version of itunes is coming to the windows store That means it'll work on windows 10 s as well as windows 10 That means it's a universal app. That means apple had to do a little bit of work Maybe they just took the win 32 app and rewrapped it But they had to do a little bit of work and felt it was worth it to put it in the store Well, I hope it runs better than the version that we have now which is I think almost universally understood to be just A bloated mess on pc Yeah, best of luck To that Thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit You can submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com It definitely helps us figure out what to put in the show each day A message of the day comes from adam said he was listening to our episode about the amazon echo And he said look $50 price point makes it easy to justify an echo even if you just use it for a few functions I just bought another one for the bathroom because I want to be able to get the time weather news and music without needing to touch anything At first I thought the idea of a five pack was ridiculous. Now. I'm thinking it's a great idea if you have a big house Uh, you know the nsa certainly thinks so walka walka walka I I agree though. I think that that this is A defining device of its age. I would put the I would put the echo in the same conversation as You know the the iPod or the iPhone in terms of As it came out it just kind of revolutionized what that space should be and everything that followed Was iterating on this large leap forward to find the category. Yeah, I think it's fantastic I you know patrick, uh was saying a lot of things about phone Smart assistance that he doesn't like and and he doesn't understand why he would like them any anymore in a smart speaker Uh, and I was talking about how I kind of agree with them on phone assistance But I love my amazon echo Uh, so I wrote up for for our patreon today Five reasons why I think a smart speaker is better than an assistant on your phone And if you uh backs at the five dollar a month level you got that right now It's in your inbox or at patreon.com slash dtns Thank you.

What do we got a few tech things you should know Carry on my wayward ipo Snapchat becoming so meaningless nicci would love it I don't think that's what nicci was all about any case. Uh, human nature is the worst password Do we need more pre game? Are you ready for some? Are you ready for some positioning for future negotiations snaps in a z-formation? And I'm missing that one. What am I missing? Hello? What what what don't I get? And there's no snaps in a z-formation Uh, I think that's a dug a football reference Oh, okay. Well, that's good. I'm inside. Don't care change of the ghost of vine Show me all my uncle carol videos Microsoft is a little bit vivy and a little bit occultist rift Apple begins selling ice water in windows store Snapchat is snapping their legs Such a mania still running wild Leap passwords One sizzling episode with cool news pokemon goes out of fashion in russia NIST gives a pass on password rules Mmm snap applies a positive filter to their financials. I like that one Lens positive lens But human nature is the worst password is at the top followed closely by carrying on my wayward IPO You're my IPO What do you guys like I like human nature is the worst password All right I'll do that Let's do it Just a lot just set up a system where you can put in more than 12 characters as a password I guarantee you you would solve A lot of these passwords not everybody would put in more than 12 12 Letters make you like a mad man date 12, right? Ah, you could you could mandate more than 12 like for example someplace Some sites will not accept less than eight a minimum of eight characters Sure, but I guess my point is is that That mandating 12 creates Poopy your passwords The the thing is the longer a password is the more secure it is Right, it doesn't matter what character you use if you even just stuck with 26 letters of the alphabet But you made it so your password could be a complete sentence. Yeah, it would be secure Now what if you're using dictionary words like can't somebody throw a dictionary? I guess It could but it would have to go through more permutations So, you know the theory is I saw biocast saying this like isn't six dictionary words just the same as six letters And the the answer is no because there are more than 26 words The existence and you would have to run through a permutation. Yeah, right. They're not always going to be I hope they're not all the same order It's the length right you could use you could have you could use every character set known to make unicode But only have like a five character password. You would be able to find it Right to brute force it I mean the truth of the matter most passwords aren't found by brute force or Found through phishing. Yeah totally So pulling that rod and reel and go to long john silvers where we do the phishing I guess You know one point in time that place used to be semi mid-level restaurant. No, it's just kind of a Some people still say it is long john silvers. Oh I have a weird I have a weird habit of watching old um Restaurant commercials from the 80s and 70s specifically steak restaurants Really, which ones? the steak house there was a Not like scissor, but there was like a what's the um See I watch all these. I don't even remember their names It's really bad. It shows you how poor um at the ground round There was one called not the steak steak house Uh 1970 Ponderosa that one that was the one. Oh, yeah, I love the ponderosa I remember something I remember going to one and I was wondering why all the waitresses were wearing tablecloths for shirts Because I had that same pattern Because I was a kid. That's what I assumed steak and ale Oh steak and ale's the bomb bonanza, bonanza Bonanza Where's my steak? Well, I'd like a flame and we don't do that the what? Oh, it's a soon-to-be revived chain Bonanza Nails coming back baby steak and ale's coming back. Huh? Wait. Are they taking the place of casking cleaver? The plan revival in 2013 a facebook page was created for the comeback of steak and ale And bennington ceo paul miagami announced that the chain Comeback concept In february 11 2015 uh miagami and his wife gwen Closed on a management buyout of the company from its parent private equity firm for an undisclosed price The new company legendary restaurant brands llc is now 100 owner Of the bennington's restaurant chain its fast casual concept bennington's on the fly and Steak and ale steak and ale um, okay, so This is not related to steak and ale and I and I hesitate To distract you from what is proving to be a very fruitful discussion of legacy restaurants But I gave you the russian thing because you nailed it when we were on twitch I choked on it man. What am I gonna say, dude? I should have set you up better then. I apologize Oh, no, no, I I was I was bragging about how good I am at pronouncing you did so colovsky perfectly the first time in every time Ah, I don't know whatever for whatever reason. I looked at it and I just I choked all right I'm sorry. I'm sorry to bring that up But I I just didn't want you to think that I gave you that out of maliciousness No, because we were joking about it. Of course not. No, it's only the really weird asian ones Weird asian and indian ones are the ones that I'm just like oh come on Uh, but yeah, so so like so legendary. Sorry legendary restaurants. Do they have any other legendary? Properties that they can revive. Oh, so that apparently is a new okay a new LLC but even then What what I'm going to guess Well, yeah, let's let's get into the steak and ale No, no, no, no steak and ales found there's an independent restaurant chain in dallas on february 26 1966 On january 29 2008 the chain's remaining 58 locations Closed as part of a chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding chapter 7 in 2014 the ceo benegins Announced their intended comeback, but that was later pushed to early 2017 Like a kid can we see stuckeys come back? Yeah, I don't know Uh popular menu items at steak and ale included the signature herb roasted prime rib In club the new york strip the filet mignon the hawaiian chicken and spicy grilled chicken pasta The restaurant featured unlimited salad bar or a choice of soup with most of its entrees on the dinner menu It also featured free drink refills and honey wheat bread Formally known as squaw bread before a group of native americans threatened to protest and sue over the offensive use of the word squaw yeah steak and ale also offered a lunch menu with many items under Six dollars and 99 cents in the mid 90s in an attempt to revitalize lagging sales the early evening menu was introduced In addition to lower prices all the early evening fairs included free beverages and free desserts Some of the complimentary dessert selections were strawberry sundown cake twilight triple fudge cake and spice cake The restaurant was uh also featured wine samples for only 25 cents Wait, so did they invent the early bird special or? As I was thinking along the same lines. Yeah When you change your business model to hit the early bird special crowd that means your your audience is dying Yes You know what that's very depressing because that's my breast. That's my parents problem They're very popular amongst older people. Unfortunately, their clientele is slowly getting dropped off It's doing years when he says it's his parents problem people may not realize he means his parents own a restaurant So that's their restaurant. Yeah, and it was very popular with the older crowd including the the uh the early bird gets the discount I wonder if there's a way to manage The nostalgia cycle And it actually sounds like that's what bennington's is trying to do here So that you get the older people who like the thing because they've always liked it And then the young people who like it because it's throwback And you urge those crowds is that impossible? Yes, let me let me let me let me spit you some game here to the history Uh restaurant pioneer norman brinker founded steak and ale in 1966 in dallas The chain with its dimly lit dining rooms Filled itself as offering an upscale steak experience at lower prices And it was seen as a model for the casual dining steakhouse and many executives, uh There went on to run other large chains. It was so successful that it was purchased in 1976 when pillsberry purchased it and folded it into a restaurant group with burger king bennington's and other stores At the time the company had 113 locations of steak and ale and jolly ox Uh the name that it used in markets that didn't allow references to liquor in the restaurant name Uh in 1982 pillsberry spun the company off Along with bennington's in the independent sna restaurant group And it went on uh late 80s at 280 locations Uh before uh the fact that it just it got murdered by the fact that it created a genre the the idea of the uh, you know the state Perience casual steakhouse was invented by steak and ale and then it just got subsumed by it Well, yeah, I mean before when you went out for dinner at a place like that You'd have to get dressed up and I guess people were like, you know, I'll put on a jacket and tie but i'm not gonna You know do the rest of it because it's a it's a lot of effort to eat steak I kind of miss the old red lobsters I have never even had a red lobster Oh my god, I I once dated a girl that loved red lobster and just wanted to go there Uh uh for birthdays and valentine's days and stuff like that Did you smell like drawn butter? Well, it's the cheddar bay biscuits, man They uh, well see the old the old red lobster in the 70s was very much like steak and ale They had the dim lighting, you know and the the fancy decor Candles on the tables and you felt like you're at a really fancy restaurant But it was lower prices Uh and now it's just become more of a you know well-lit family restaurant right There used to be a franchise mcdonald's in medesta that advertised um Like at eight. No, it's at 6 30. No 7 30. They offered uh dinner by candlelight Oh, really? I was thinking like who are you attracting to a mcdonald's? For a candlelight dinner. I mean like yes Maybe uh, I mean in high school. I went on some dates to mcdonald's. Maybe that would have been appealing People get married at the taco bell in vegas. Like there is You know brand loyalty Is a very interesting phenomenon Like mcdonald's means something more to them than it than it would do us You know, it's kind of weird. I would have said I was brand loyal But the problem is like a lot of those brands over time have shifted In so much like their food what they originally you attracted to them for No longer exist or like for example like the um The really cool happy meals used to get like glass like collector glasses even though they're really cheap um Those things were like I used to I used to love burger or mcdonald's was a burger king They did the bump at once. Yeah, and I used to like I always loved burger king because they had um At those glasses a and w was the other one a and w burger drinks because they had the uh fireplace with the chain link Um Screen in front. It just seemed very classy for a fast food restaurant at the time. It's just hard to maintain though It is so that's what they don't do it and all generically they all end up looking exactly the same. Yeah So now i'm in a deep dive on benegins Because apparently there are still close to 40 Franchised benegins still open. Wow. That's more than I would have thought because you never see them anymore Including one in santa clara. Huh? Hey for more on benegins patrons Check your full audio version at patreon.com slash dtns Everybody else. We'll see you tomorrow


The Appalachian Wireless Holiday Sale is going on now. Till the end of the year, visit us in store or reserve online for an unbelievable sale on the hottest devices. We know what you want for the holidays because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The first responders of the city of Pikeville held their Christmas with a first responder event at the Appalachian Wireless Arena on Saturday, December 17th. When I first started this, when it first started coming up, I was partnering with the city police department. You see those faces still to this day and just letting them know that we care about them then as we do now, seeing how they've grown to young women, young men that's been out in the community serving them as well just like we did many years ago. More than 50 children got the chance to spend the day with a first responder, get presents from Santa and Mrs. Claus, play games and more. Christmas with a first responder is the culmination of many outreach and fundraising events Pikeville City first responders hold throughout the year. So when we do these small fundraisers, the police department has done an amazing job and the fire department as well is getting involved when we can and making sure that, like I said, they know that we're there for them. So those little events throughout the year, they may seem simple when we're doing them at the time, but at the end of the year, as you can see these smiles and these kids' faces and the love that they show towards us and we get to show towards them that's why we all do it, is make sure that they know that. Christmas with a first responder helps and creates wonderful memories for many children every year. This event would not be possible without the support of the community and corporate sponsors.

I received a large item in the mail through eBay earlier this week, and the people who shipped it to me, they padded it by stuffing in just whatever they had at hand, which is fine, it works great. But one of the things I noticed, they tossed in a napkin in a sandwich bag. Just a napkin in a sandwich bag. It doesn't appear to be a used napkin if you're concerned about that.


Hello, everybody. Happy Saturday. So welcome to our live stream today. It's Monica and it's noon, so we'll start now. I hope you're having a good weekend. Today's topic is about how to turn a research article into a presentation and I'll give you a background of why I want to talk about that is because a lot of times my customers come to me and that's what they have to do now if they're in college Sometimes they're assigned like an article from the peer-reviewed literature Like a research article with a study in it and then they have to turn that into like a PowerPoint presentation And give it in their class just to teach to learn how to make presentations Excuse me, but also What will happen is like I'm a scientist and when I do my research, I have to present it Okay, so you can present your own research that way or you can present somebody else's research that way now this What I'm going to teach you in this live stream is About how to make an actual like a research Presentation now that you can present on a lot of different things like if you're on a task force and you guys do some work And you write a report you maybe present the report What this particular live stream is geared towards is if you actually have a research study, so Whenever we write about research, it's always in the certain format It's like introduction and then there's a research aim or a hypothesis at the end of the introduction Or sometimes they call it background So that's the first part and then you explain the methods although in some journals I've seen the methods at the end for some reason. It's normally the second thing Then you have the results where you have the graphs and the figures and then you have the discussion Which maybe has a conclusion at the end so everything is structured the same way all Throughout science Regardless of the study design Regardless of how long it is right because if you have an abstract it's little and If you have like a peer-reviewed article like an abstract is like a summary of what the whole peer-reviewed article is about and The peer-reviewed article is only a few pages, but those of you who've done a thesis or a dissertation Those of you who've done that, you know, that's a very long document, but it's the same structure.  Thank you in the chat Vinnyak, thank you for coming And Vinnyak says very good initiative useful to polish the presentation material make it more interesting to grasp the crux Actually, you're so right, you know, I'm being very dry about this. I'm going like But that's actually the whole point is people are not going to listen to you if you're boring, right? and Research isn't boring. It's very exciting But presentation have you been to research and presentations that are boring has that ever happened to anybody? Why is that happening? Because research is interesting. So why is the presentation boring? Well, I think the answer is this is my opinion is that the balance of background methods Results and discussion is off that that balance isn't right Because we as an audience, what are we excited about? Are we excited about background? No, we're excited about results, right? We want to see, you know pictures, okay? So but we can't have we aren't going to understand the results unless we have the background So that's actually kind of leads you into my process because I'm going to teach you not only like how to take a research article in that framework and Turn it into a presentation But I'm going to sort of tell you the order in which I do it and it's going to lead to What Vinnyak pointed out which is actually like you want people to watch your presentation your research presentation You want them to learn like whether you're in class You don't want everybody falling asleep and of course if you're presenting your own research at a conference You want to be excited about it? So so that's what this is about is how do you how do you even do it? First of all, I'm going to first show you how to do it and then I at the end I'm going to give you like tips and tricks of actually making it okay So first I before I go too far. I want to start by just going over our present that my Example article so you know how like if you are affiliated with a company, you know, you always want to show their brand Well, I have a friend and I love her research. So I picked Articles she wrote I didn't write it. I know I think I helped her review it or something I helped her with something on it. So I know a little bit about it, but I didn't write it It's all her research, but the reason why I picked it is It is well, first of all, it's a qualitative study But what I'm going to teach you you can use for quantitative any study any research thing You know any as long as this is that structure But the second thing is is I know she is a good writer and I know this is a well-written article. I Run into problems Applying this process I'm going to teach you if I'm helping a customer who is a student and was assigned to do an article and the article is Terrible like for example Certain things are supposed to be in the results Certain things are supposed to be in the methods if they're not there then how do you present it, right? And so people often ask me well, Monica, you're saying this peer-reviewed article is you know, like crappy Like it's missing stuff and it's bad and I'm like, yeah, it's bad And the reason why some peer-reviewed articles are bad is because the people reviewing them don't know that They're bad and so they don't know to fix them, you know How can you know everything and so I don't have a lot of faith in our peer-reviewed. I like you just have to be smart That's my opinion and so I'm teaching you how to be smart and that is to read my friend's article. So let's Look at her article So I just see here. What am I doing wrong? I'm using this here we go Where is her article that I hope here it is Okay, so I'm gonna start by just quickly looking at the article and just pointing out some things about it You know just sort of like curating it a little bit Because there are some things that should be in every research article that you should look for before you make a presentation about it And if you write the article you should have this information, all right So first of all, you should be able to see the title Here's the title diversity and inclusion or tokens a qualitative study of black women academic nurse leaders in the United States and then you should see the authors which you do and You should know when it's published. This is brand new research Then you're gonna have an abstract and one of the things I've noticed is Sometimes the abstract is super clear in the article is not or vice versa Sometimes the abstract doesn't match the article a whole bunch of car accidents can happen between abstract and article, right? I picked a good article. So you'll see that this abstract is a really good job of summarizing this And if our abstract does a good job of summarizing an article, there's two kinds of abstract or two structures There's it's called structured and unstructured and all that means is structured means is where you actually say like a title like intro and then methods or like background and the methods and then results and in this one It's unstructured because this is a PA format because this is a nursing literature. So they don't have that you just have to imagine Like like you can see here methods and stuff and you can see results and so This abstract sometimes can help you when you're getting ready for your presentation making a presentation But mainly only can help you with understanding the article you're really going to have to have the whole article and look through the whole article because Depending on how long your presentation is you're going to have to use stuff from the actual article and you know If you're presenting at like a scientific conference sometimes your presentation is only five minutes Okay So it probably isn't going to be much longer than the abstract But it is going to include stuff that's not in there. So you really need the whole thing and it's nice if you can get the pdf Um, so you really do need to look through the whole thing and actually it's harder to make shorter presentations longer ones So if you're getting ready to make a five minute presentation Um of an article like this Then you really want to get to know the article first because you're going to have to be very picky and choosy of What you actually put in the presentation All right, so so we have the title we have the authors. We know where it's from We've got that uh, we've got this abstract. Okay, and then I just sort of look for We know background is going to be here. So I look for how long is this background and what's in it? What are the sub uh headings in it? So here's the beginning of the background. So our first sub heading is conceptual framework. Okay So let's say sometimes I'm helping a customer prepare a presentation. That's going to be like 20 or 30 minutes And sometimes it's only going to be five minutes When we're talking 20 or 30 minutes, like when I see this conceptual framework, I'd think oh, you know, maybe we can Like I usually try to put diagrams or like visual things in presentations I I don't know if this there's a visual conceptual framework But I would try to make some visual slide for a conceptual framework if we had the luxury of time But if we don't have you know, if this is a five minute presentation, maybe we won't have conceptual frame Okay, but I know because it's a sub heading. I know that there's plenty on it. Okay So it looks like there's in in this article There's a whole section of a background where that has more of like the factual Evidence based up and then there's the sexual in the the section on the Conceptual framework. Okay. So that the so remember our four sections basically is the background methods results discussion Well, this is all we get for that first part to choose from Okay, now we're going to move on to our methods Well, we see the sub heading research design And we know we're going to have to explain that so that's nice. It's there. They're sampling Um, this is a qualitative study. So I'm not sure if sampling is that important if you have a short presentation You know, if it was quantitative, you probably would need to include it Then you have that data collection and analysis um I remember actually when she was now it's coming back to me and she was publishing this The the journal was really interested in the quality Like the level of quality Of the data analysis like they wanted her to write all this extra stuff But I didn't think it was very interesting to be honest.  So I I don't I don't know every journal's different But in any case, um, we are I'll tell you we are going to want to explain to the people in the audience You know the qualitative nature of this like who did she interview, you know, those are you do qualitative research? You know, is it a focus group? Are there, you know, are they alone? What's your framework you use and you know those kind of things? So, uh, we know that we're going to have to put that stuff on the slide All right Here's results Now as soon as we get to results, I start thinking remember a picture's worth a thousand words and we're making a presentation So there should be pictures in the results. There should be tables. Like here's a table. We see, um You know, I always argue with her. I say this is a mixed method study And she says the journal says it's not mixed methods, but there's quantitative data here So regardless whether it's a mixed method study or not There's a table here and we could put this data from this table on the slide But as you can see the table sort of long So I would not and and do we really need all of this? You know, we might just choose some of this information to put on the slide depends on sort of how You know how we want to spin this and how long it is That's one thing and so we've got thematic results, which is what you usually get themes out of qualitative studies And you see these sub headings, which are her themes and I kind of helped her with this I remember helping her with this This is like a framework of our themes and I like these You know part of the reason why I like I wanted to help her with this is I like them for presentations Exactly what I'm showing you right now um As a qualitative researcher you can express the themes you have Any way you want but hers were sort of hierarchical there were four main themes and two of them had these sub themes And it was just easier to put it in a diagram So this is something that I would really want to put for sure. This is going on the slide. I mean, this is the main results So when you're thinking of quantitative research you might have to Be more picky and choosy like if they put a whole bunch of figures and tables You're going to have to just pick Whatever you think this is gets to the interesting part. Whatever you think tells the story the best Um and just those because remember you're talking you can fill in the rest Okay, so this these are the results. So we see we've got a lot of rich results We've got a lot of and I encourage you to read this article because there's a lot of really interesting quotes in here about she interviewed Black nurse faculty as a title Nursing faculty leaders, I think I can't remember administrators. I can't reverse. She does a lot of research Okay, and and she puts like Her teams put direct quotes in there. It's very interesting what they say It's so hard to choose what to put in you can't make these articles too long. And so it's Difficult she has so much research. All right, then we get to the discussion And what's going to happen is they're going to pull together in the discussion the authors You know what to think about the results and so again now we're thinking again, you know, we've got our we're blocking it out our background Methods results are going to be these pictures mostly this you know This tables and figures and discussion is going to be sort of the punchline that what do we do about all this Now sometimes it'll be like me like here. This is nursing. So there's a subheading implications for nursing education But you kind of have to think of your audience, right? So if I was presenting this like I'm a public health person If I was ever presenting this I would I would probably be doing it to public health people and I'd be saying Racism and nursing education blah, blah, blah, right? So I might have a section that says implications for public health, you know So you just have to think about what is your spin? What is your audience? as to what to pick and choose from there to put in um, but uh If you're presenting to nursing leaders and obviously nursing education probably and then here we have a conclusion at the end And so now I I kind of see the lay of the land with this and also I'll just tell you what I teach my customers to do Is there's always a method section in all of these. So I try to teach my customers to put their um Research aim as the last question Before the methods just because it's good practices catchy did it here and her team did it here That also then Teach my customers to Like she put in as a research question. It's good is to just skip ahead And pretend to answer it or essentially answer it With the first line of the discussion right, um I don't know if uh It's kind of like the the third one looks more like the answer here But but you don't have to be perfect about this But the person should be able to find the research aim or the question At the end of the introduction and background before the methods And be able to find the answer at the beginning of the discussion after the results And that's going to be sort of the crux of how we make This presentation. All right And you can go that link and um And follow along with me So I'm going to come back here and see if anybody's got any questions. No, I guess I don't Okay, now in my next section I'm going to start talking about power point, which is the uh software where we're going to um use to make the um Presentation so I opened a blank power point And I'm going to share my screen and go to the blank power point. Um, here it is Okay Now I have a friend who uses a mac and she makes gorgeous presentations and keynote But the reason why I advocate for power point. I'm not from Microsoft or anything. It's just easier to um It's easier. It's more interoperable. It's easier to turn it into other things And uh make it useful on other computers And also I hate to admit it because I'm always hate to you know Say good things about microsoft, but it's I think it's a really good program I've been using power point since literally the 90s when you would have to go to um Like a photo shop and have slides made Like I was doing that like that's how I actually started as a scientist as I was working as a research secretary And I had to use power point. I was using a macintosh Back then um, and you can use a macintosh now with power point. I mean, it's kind of amazing program And I I would have to make these research slides and then I'd have to Make them be like I take this file on a floppy disk to this print printing place that main like printed photos and they would print these slides that they put in this carousel and then show um But and so I know a lot about power point and I I think it's a really good program and I think you should use it to make your presentation um, unfortunately the way The one bad thing about power point is it's very easy to hack and put um viruses in it So therefore I can't actually post A power point file on my blog or on github or anything so you can download this one.  I'm probably not going to be able to make the whole um The whole presentation of kechi's paper because you know, I don't really have any parameters I'm not saying it's 20 minutes or it's five minutes. You know, I don't have any Audience or anything, but I do want to make this available. So if you are watching this you can download it. All right um, but first I'll I just want to show you some things about power point So this is what happens when I open a blank when it it's not saved as anything But but I'm I'm going to save it here. Let me save it so I don't um not lose it, right? Let's see I'm going to so save as beginning of Now I want you to realize some things about this I just it's just blank and this is the way it is Um, it opens and there's a slide here that you can see already and if you go to layout You'll see that it's chosen title slide So there these canned layouts that you can have and they're sort of shown here And um, let me see if you can see No, you can't really see um on the screen that I'm if you choose layout um You will see that there's all these different layouts And you'll see that they have different names like in the one I tend to use I'm telling you the names is title and content to content In comparison, okay and this is This is just title And so one of the things you'll be wanting to think about is Every time you make a new slide you want to choose a layout that just makes it easy for you Then the next thing you'll notice is that there's already a font here Like if I click on the font you can look up here and see what the font is and I don't like I don't like that And in fact, you know, you'll see that it's very boring. The slide is very boring so One thing you can do before you even start going is you can configure power points so that All of your slides are going to follow a certain trend now, um Like a format or certain font or whatever now sometimes people say oh my school gave me a template well That template just is you know stuff on a slide. It's not really configured I'll show you how to configure it Behind every slide presentation is a thing called the master And if you go under see all of these if you go under view You can see normal is what we're looking at But if you go all the way over here to slide master You can see this thing that looks like Let me see how it looks on my Yeah, you can see this thing that looks like a a presentation with a whole bunch of slides You want to go up to the top see how this is like the uber slide and all these are under it But This is a template behind your presentation So anything you change here is going to change whenever you make even a new slide So let's say that I want this to be um like aerial black because I always use See that now all of them you see it's cascaded. Let's say I want this one to be aerial I generally want these things to be like just aerial And I I like to make it at least 24 point Because otherwise you can't really see Okay, so you'll see that this this is open here because we're in the master We're not in any particular slide and I went to the top. So this is cascading now. So if I go back here Okay, where are we? Oh here if I go back here to slide master. I don't know how I got that I have to go to close master view. You'll see this was affected But it's hard to tell like what happened, right? But you can see if I make a new slide. Let's make a new title and content slide. See it's all aerial So if you go into the master and you change colors or you do things like that That's when you're really making some sort of template Right and sometimes schools do that and sometimes I don't I they just give you stuff and now who knows what it is So there's that and then the other things you can do is you can go to the design tab This is when you're not in the masters You can choose a design, but that's going to trump anything you did to the master. So let's just not do Um one thing I like to do I like to make my own master, right? Like you can go back into it's under view you can go to slide master and I don't know. Let's see format background. Let's go put um Let's go add Picture fill I'm going to insert a picture from one of my Libraries here um Just something that's sort of a back background here fine Oh, what is this topic? Okay, so, uh Uh, I guess we could say apply to all here Okay, and now we can close master view So now I've basically created my own, you know template with a background. Okay, so let's say That's it. That's all I'm going to do um Another thing well, I could do is uh I can go to design. What's kind of nice Is if you go over here and you choose a color palette, let's see here It's under here. You click colors And you choose a color palette. I I made my own. I made my own called variety here You can you can do that under customize colors.  Okay So any questions so far? No. All right So now I'm going to go and start talking about what I'm no longer in the In the master I've just got this title slide and I've got this slide and what do I do next? Well now, um I'm going to just not share my screen for a second and just talk to you So now is when you start deciding How what is actually going to go in here? You know, you're going to have to have the intro methods results in discussion If you pick out any references that you need to cite like that are kind of important You know, like you'll notice that there's a theoretical underpinning for this this uh conceptual framework of um critical race theory so there might be some landmark work on that That is pertains to this That goes in the references will then maybe we'll have a reference slide with just a few references Um, and we'll just cite them when we come up to them in the presentation But not the whole thing not all the references So that's how that's that'll be maybe our last slide And probably we'll have a conclusion slide. So maybe we'll have a slide for conclusion But one of the things is you're going to have to really think about Is how long is the presentation? when you're delivering so Let's say that the presentation is 30 minutes. That's a long time A lot of times people think that you're going to have a lot of slides then but it's actually not That logical if you think about Because slides communicate visually so they communicate a lot Like if you look at that theme that figure from catchy's article You realize that communicates a lot not just the themes but the hierarchy like how they're related to each other So the shorter time you have to present The more your slides have to do the work of communication So you may actually have more slides that you spend less time on and that you say less about When you have a shorter presentation so when Like learners or customers come to me and they're like monica. I have to do the short presentation only a few slides I'm like, okay short presentation and only a few slides are not the same thing Sure presentation means it doesn't take that long But you'll probably need a bunch of slides, you know and I'm sure those of you in business especially have seen people with very few slides talk easily for an hour So it's really more about Before you make this line presentation ask yourself. How long do you want to talk? and What who are you talking to like?  You might have a different length of it But in general what I say is this if all you're doing is presenting this research study Think about it this way You have intro methods results and discussion And everybody really wants to hear the results of the discussion So you probably want to make think of how long you're going to take Split it in half And make sure the results in the discussion Get fully covered in the second half And if you think you don't have enough time for them to skimp on the beginning part You want to make sure you have enough time to get your results and discussion out This is especially true if you have a five minute presentation You just start by making the slides for the results and the discussion because that's what you have to communicate And then with the time you have flow over you just shove in what you need to communicate About the intro and the methods and the research aim in order to set up the results and the discussion And that's um, and so that's how I think about it So I'm going to sort of show you now the next step, which is I've so what I've done is I've selected the research article I've read through it. I've looked at it to see what I think I might want to present I've decided who my audience is and how long it is, but I'm not picking that for you You get to pick that for yourself And I've configured powerpoint Now I'm going to go and block out the presentation. So let's share the screen and go back to powerpoint Okay, so I know I'm going to have a title slide here. So I just for now. I'm going to say title I'll fill in later Then I always start with an outline slide. I call it outline. You can call it agenda It's basically going to have our introduction methods results Discussion now I might do something special like public health implications. Remember how I said maybe I want to cover that Um, you know what I mean and actually to be honest to you I normally make this a two content one and then I'll I'll put like a picture here. Let's picture I think I uh So that's just some picture of whatever right Interesting Okay, now I'm going to make a new slide And what is the slide going to say? Well, it's going to say background right because I know I need a background And then I'm going to make a new slide and What it's going to say is a research aim And actually, you know, remember I showed you where uh, can't you put the research aim? I'm going to go over to you can't see me doing this but I'm going over to the um PDF and I'm just going to copy the words out uh I mean, I'm going to want to not plagiarize it But I can go back and sort of set it up and or say that it's quoted or whatever But here is I'm just going to paste. I'm going to paste special here There for see it does this you get a kind of And you know, I may replace this all this is just my first pass. This is me blocking out um This presentation before making it Okay, because You know, it's going to take me if if I have a longer time I might put a lot in the background maybe even some pictures or whatever Um, but I I don't know. I know I need a space for it And I know I need my research aim Actually, it doesn't make sense to that, you know, and I probably should rewrite it or quote or whatever But I'm going to just leave it that way and of course I haven't even named it yet. I haven't put anything in there Okay, so then my next one is going to be um It's going to be the methods, right And then I'm going to have the results and usually There's a beginning slide with the results where you explain the study design you explain what's going on And then my next slides and the results Are Whatever I'm going to do from the tables, you know, I could go up here.  Remember I showed you that table of um The demographics here So I'm going to just print screen these out Let's see here So I'm going to um Let's see how this is You can also um make this like a new table. Whoops In powerpoint, um, but I haven't had a lot of luck with That, you know, like I end up fighting with powerpoint a lot Let's see here Okay, so this is table one I didn't get all the demographics in there. I just got through the first three questions. Let me see if I can Yeah, let's see if I can get the second part of the table So you get a little uh creative or you don't have to do this.  So I'm doing it this way But you could just pick out which ones you wanted to present. Maybe you can't present all of them And and just retype them on the slide. You know, I'm being doing this kind of crappy version of it, but So this is uh, I guess quantitative And I didn't mean that I meant this one and then thematic remember that pretty Picture we're gonna go get that here on print screen So I'm gonna get that out of there Here we go. And then I'm just gonna crop it All right, and you know realize I'm just making the powerpoint like you're gonna have to You know practice it Practice the presentation and you may change it when you're practicing it But this is just to get you off to the right start to put the right things in it Okay, so this is pretty much What you get for results is you get to say some stuff and you get to talk about the pictures, right? um, you may like if you were presenting this and you know, I could kind of imagine maybe we would have Some quotes, right? um quotes From the interviewees remember I was saying that Um, it just depends. So I'm I'm gonna imagine we have that then I'm gonna have what's next is we have discussion And usually I also put a conclusion. It you know depends on the time conclusion Any other conclusion like you don't have to spend much time on each slide the conclusion can just be one sentence and you're done And then I've got this last one, which is references okay now um, one of the things I'm going to go back here and say Remember methods Let's say that we wanted to talk about the conceptual framework I'm going to make a slide for that just because it was in there Inceptual frame Work now. I'm going to go look under conceptual framework In the article. I just want to see what it says um, it says here Oh um Okay, I'm I'm actually copying Directly I'm plagiarizing ha ha Hello, sorry catchy. Okay. This is me plagiarizing what catchy wrote in her team Um, but I'm not going to leave a plagiarism I just wanted to show you this sentence okay it says um, this Study use critical race theory CRT is a framework parker and villal pondo 2007 page 525 21 articulated the key aspects of CRT as being Now these are key aspects. So I'm gonna I'm gonna do this right. I'm gonna say an acknowledgement of the centrality of race and racism a challenge to the dominant ideology Um, a commitment to social justice and praxis a centering of experiential knowledge And an approach Let's see here. I'm probably and right an approach that honors historical context and promotes inner bisminary perspective so we could kind of stop Say this here, um consider critical race CRT And then this is parker and villal pondo As described by 30 Or maybe there's a better way to say that. Okay. So see parker and villal pondo. See how I've got this little reference in here Well, because I'm mentioning them. I need to go back here and put them in here And in fact, I let me just do that. I'll just steal it steal it copy it from um, catchy's article Parker right i'm looking for parker. Yeah, here's parker and villal pondo uh Okay, so if and if you're doing a pa format see you have to edit everything um And and you have to kind of pay attention because I think um This is supposed to be Now you see this is p. So if I add anybody like don't put a lot of references in and by the way, you can make them really small You can make them like You can make them 12 or 14 because most of the time people just um Uh, you know, they download the slides. Oh and I want to show you something here under paragraph Like if you've got this and you can go under this paragraph here You can do the spacing before and after if you add these spacing before and after It's different from line spacing like if you have single line spacing the lines are right next to each other But I often will do this thing where I have um Six here and six here. So let's just pretend that I have another um reference which I'll just put after that. I'll just Another copy see how there's a little space in between So that's cool to do. It like it just makes your references kind of neat So I haven't seen if there's any questions. Oh, there's no questions. Okay, good. Um, okay. So let me save this All right, so what have we done so far? Well, I now I've kind of blocked this out now I can start filling this in so this is kind of like a coloring book I've made that I can start filling in it now if I have a lot of time that I can present I can spend More I can I can add more background Before we get to the researching Okay If I don't well, I do need to you know, and actually I would start I wouldn't even start with the background. I would start with the results I would start with trying to figure out how much I get to say in the results Um, obviously we have to talk about how many people like she had a section on sampling. So probably sampling is important. So Uh, maybe maybe we need to talk about the sampling. I mean, you don't have to you can put in the methods Or you could mention the results how it happened Um, so you have to make those decisions and then um like these quotes I put this in here, you know, what quotes do we want to include from the actual article? Well, it's going to depend on how much time we have and really what am I trying to Uh, what do I want the audience to understand? from this article You know the research is the research, but if you're presenting it you don't get to say the whole thing, you know The co-authors they got to say what they said it in the peer-reviewed article if you're presenting it You're saying less like let me give you a parallel Back when I was like being a research secretary. I was going to my undergraduate and I was studying journalism And it was pointed out to me that the news is the same whether it's in the newspaper and you're reading it Versus it's on the tv Or radio, but especially the tv But still when you think about it Think about if you spend like a minute reading the newspaper How much more information you get than if you spend a minute watching tv of the same news Even though there's a person talking and there's visuals You can just get more information from reading You just go faster. Maybe it's more boring But it goes faster So there's no way I can take what catchy said in that article And turn into a presentation and do justice like do every you know Her and her co-authors like get the whole thing out there So I have to have I have to choose What am I going to pick from there That aligns with what I want you to know And that's why starting with Using the process I'm talking about Where now I'm here and now the detailed choices about what you summarize and what you put in Happen is because then at the end you're going to have a presentation That the audience Hopefully is interested in because you were thinking about them all the way through But also that communicates what you want them to know I I recently had A person who was seeking a job They said that they had to do a presentation and they sent me a presentation And asked me my opinion about it and to tell you the truth I had no idea what the presentation was about Meaning I really did not know what this person wanted me to get out of the presentation Like I I didn't know what the point was And you don't want people to And leave your presentation and not know why you did it and if you're presenting research You have to have a reason right So if you're a student and you're like well monica, I'm a dental student I was just assigned this uh oral health study to present so the class knows the result I would say well, what is what did you find? Did you find that you have to be careful when you do a certain surgery or that certain Patients are not good candidates or certain treatments or what is it? Because you know make your passion come through may say students fellow students You have to know the results of this research because You know, we have to use it in our clinical work But if the person was a public health student they were assigned it. I'd be like well You know, maybe you want to take the public health Tack on it, but in any case If you use the process I suggest You should be able to produce Um a presentation at least the slides at least a plan for one That um meets with what your um audience wants to know And also is just you know true to the article um It's really important to include um Pictures in your presentation And I get a lot of my pictures from pixabay because it's a place where you don't have to do attribution um, but you can also use uh images from creative commons places like wikipedia Where you have to use uh attribution and just use attribution. It's no problem And those people like it because then people come to their wikipedia page But in any case it uh the thing I wanted to say about pictures is I I've had more than one story of Where I helped a student present their research like prepare a research presentation And I told them they had to get pictures they had you know a few of them and I even made a space for them and uh Sometimes my customers like don't do what I say And I don't like it But it's kind of nice because then I get to see what happens when people don't follow my advice And that's one of them that you should really listen to me because They get like I remember one of my students who is really good She didn't listen. She removed the the pictures and her Um faculty screamed at her like yelled at her and she cried to me and she's not like a crying type So I didn't forget that I was like that's serious like You know like that was really jarring that they yelled at her because there were no pictures That's just weird. Okay, but she should have listened to me I mean I only had four pictures in there. It was a research presentation just like this but the pictures were like It was an oral hall thing. I can't remember what it was but there were just some pictures to make it look interesting, but um It was a really high-profile presentation. She was giving like there was some visiting faculty or something And her advisors were just really mad. There's no pictures. And so Definitely, uh, you don't want to overdo it I'm enough. I'm another customer. She loves colors and fun. I mean, I do too. Maybe I overdo it sometimes too Um, but anyway, yeah, some people would think that my background is overdoing it But in any case, it's really important that Um, if you're presenting research, whether it's yours or someone else's that If somebody bothers to listen to the research or read the slides at the end They know They they walk away with it From it with some knowledge because if they don't, you know, you kind of waste their time, right? Um, all right. Well, so this is what I was here to present. I don't see any questions, but um So, uh, but if anybody ever has any questions like if the um, if the reason you're hearing this It's because you're listening to the recording, you know, go ahead and post a comment and I'll come back I'll try to answer all the questions And I'll I'll post this uh power point as a pdf. I don't know how awful that will be But it'll sort of remind you of the structure of this um and then uh, if you if you got anything out of watching this then please like this if you're on uh, youtube or on linkedin and bryek has to youtube and linkedin and um, and so I and hopefully those of you who watch this and See it got something out of it and now it's going to be a little easier for you when you sit down with some research And you need to set up a presentation like to get started All right. Well, those of you joining me. Thanks for joining me. It's a beautiful saturday It's a beautiful weekend and I hope you have a great one And I hope to see you again. Um at my future live streams in the chat. Bye. Bye


All this month get any smartphone 32 giga under for a 50% off regular price at Appalachian Wireless. Better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. While supplies last, two-year agreement required. When someone has a drug problem, it's not a road that they walk alone. Oftentimes, there are those that care for that person that walk that road right alongside them, often feeling helpless along the way. But they're not helpless. There is something they can do. They can intervene through Casey's Law. Casey's Law is an involuntary treatment act that allows parents, relatives and or friends to petition the court on behalf of someone who has a substance use disorder. It's called Casey's Law because our son Casey died of a heroin overdose at the age of 23. At that particular time, we were told that there was nothing that we could do that he had to want to, lose enough and hit bottom. And while we were waiting for all those things to happen, Casey died. Charlotte went on to say that if Casey's Law keeps one family from going through what her family has gone through, it was all worth it. If it wasn't for Casey's Law, I know that I would have died. Casey's Law is not a cure. Casey's Law forced me to sit still, to learn about myself, to learn about my own disease through the 90 days and it gave me hope. Casey's Law not only profoundly affects the life of the person with the drug problem, but those closest to them as well. I have a home now and I have my brother with me and my mom with me and that is the biggest thing that's ever happened to me in my life. I have her now and I can talk to her and she can talk to me and know who she's talking to and know what she's talking about. It's completely different. We're taken care of. I mean, we don't live rich, but we live happy and we live comfortably and our tummies are always full. It's incredible, the things that Casey's Law has brought to us. For more information on Casey's Law, visit them on the web at www.caseyslaw.org. Reporting from Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shawn Allen.
