Thank you very much. Very much, Rebecca. I can't wait for 2028 to show you my personal robot assistance. I'm sure that it may help me to make better decisions at the boardroom. But of course, I'm not here to debate on that. For that, we have a wonderful panel this afternoon. And I'm just going to introduce the moderator of that panel. Will Cerny is an international recognized thought leader on water strategy and innovation. He has authored numerous books and articles and is the founder and CEO of WaterFoundry, a disruptive collaborative and responsive company promoting 20th century water solutions. But above all, and I'm quoting his own words, Will is young at heart, and I think that this will be a wonderful talent in order to get the most out of our panel. Will, if you wish. Well, that's a great way to start. Your key takeaway is young at heart. So I might be young at heart, but I do remember measuring water levels with a steel tape and chalk. So I just dated myself pretty significantly and you caught that. So I'm really excited about the panel. I'm excited about the experts that you'll be hearing from today. And I've been thinking about digital water, obviously, and the panel and decided I would start with a quote from a science fiction writer, which surprised me a little bit, but it's appropriate. So some of you may know William Gibson. He coined the term cyberpunk cyberspace. And this great quote is the future has arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet. And when we think about digital, this really, really fits in that there are stakeholders out there that have adopted digital technologies, embraced it and creating a lot of value. Others that are getting acquainted with it and others that know nothing about it. So we're really essentially on this journey in understanding what digital means and how it will change our relationship with water, not the water sector, all of our relationships with water. Key word in that quote for me is yet. So we will get there. I think Rebecca framed it very nicely where digital technologies will become a commonplace, create enormous value for society, and maybe we'll even achieve SDG6 in all of this, which obviously is critical and why I believe we're all here. So panelists, if you don't mind coming up. We've got about 20 minutes. We're going to keep this lively, engaging, hopefully entertaining. Answer key questions related to digital water. So the panelists are Avachek Shaduri, Water Industry Advisor for Tata Consultancy Services, Patrick Decker, CEO and President of Xylem, Arlinda, Ibrahim Lauri. I did okay, right? Better. Aveline Volke, Associate Professor in the Department of Biosystems Engineering of Ghent University, and Rebecca if you don't mind joining us. We don't have an extra chair, but come on up and I'll walk around and ask questions. So I'm going to go off script because it's going to be a lot more entertaining for the next 20 minutes. We had a couple of conversations when we were preparing. One of which was what is digital water? What is the digitization of water? And Rebecca, I think you gave us a nice landscape, but I'm willing to bet everyone has a different view of really what this is and what it means. So if you can briefly, in your own words, just frame what is... Oh, thank you. What is this? What is digital water? Who wants to dive in, so to speak? So yes, you're right. Well, it means completely different things to different people. To one CIO, it means giving an improved handle device to all the field stuff. It's going digital. To another CIO, it means taking all the applications to the cloud. That's going digital. Both of them are right in their own way. But how do we come... How do we converge, if you like, and come to a single definition of what we want to do? There will always be different priorities for different companies due to regulation, due to the way they operate. But that's what I think we would... Looking at the experts around the room and here on the podium, we need to get to somewhere where we can say, okay, if you are talking of digital water, step one to three is this. You might want to do one D before one C, or one D before one C. That's down to here. But that's what we should get to. Patrick, I'm interested in your take. Xylem has a digital water strategy that you are executing. So what does that mean to you and your customers? So first I would say I would love to scrap all the buzzwords. They're intimidating. I think it invokes fear. I think when you are a solutions provider to the industry, you have to build trust with an industry that is understandably conservative in its nature. There's not a lot of upside for taking risk and a whole lot of downside if you fail. So to me, what digital means is any utility understands, they're getting loads of data off of various types of sensors, meters or sensors. It's how do you turn that information into actionable insights? I know I have a problem as a utility. How can I turn that data into something I can work with to solve a very simple problem? And the challenge is differed by utility. So I'd rather get away from the whole digital, AI, machine learning, IoT, those things intimidate. As opposed to we all know that if you get the right data to solve a problem and you actually have people can actually turn that into actionable information, people can then become disarmed. But it is an issue of trust. May I react to that? Go ahead, then I'll tell you about that. Well, it's a container item or container terminology, as we say, so we always need to define it. But then for me, it would be like having lots of data. And yeah, you said trust. I think trust is very good. But for me, understanding is better. You could also say control is better, you know. But in this world where we gather more and more information, I think it's very important that we have education, that we train people not only to manage the data, to find the right information, to also train them in fundamental things so that they keep their critical sense. That's essential. And it also has another dimension. Understanding also we need to get the people in the utilities understand what we're doing. Because we want to have them implemented. We want to get their trust. And then back there. As far as you mentioned utilities, as I'm representing utilities, I think, on a panel. Well, not in Albania, digital water is not even mentioned. We're still in between new innovative technologies rather than talking about digital water utilities. So not trying to represent middle-income countries or low-income countries in a panel or in the room, but still concerned of finding a way on how to finance new technologies, innovation in the water utilities, and how to bring those, all the stakeholders needed to understand that maximizing efficiency in utilities and being effective, being customer-centric, what did it mean? So just trying to give an example. A few years ago, in my utility, we still continue to have this manual water billing system in place. And we really wanted to try something new. So we implement the smart, innovative water meters, and it took us years to make the regulators, together with the local government, together with the supplier manufacturers as well, in a table, trying to make them understand why we need to change the behavior, the mindsets, and to change the technology. So different meaning of digital water in different contents. Yeah, that's my perspective. Would we benefit collectively if we dropped the jargon and the terms? And just we have new tools in the toolbox, basically.  I'm getting some nods. Well, I think so, because first of all, at least for me, when I hear digital, I think expensive. That's not necessarily the case. I also, it raises questions in my mind around the sustainability of the technology. How quickly is it going to change on me when I put it in place? Whereas what I find, I'm an optimist towards this industry and the whole water management, because working around the world, we see a number of utilities, large, medium, small, developing countries, developed countries, that when they get to the point where there's such an important need, whether it be scarcity, affordability, resilience of the infrastructure against climate change, they move. But I think we could serve the sector quite well by creating a conversation where the utilities themselves are sharing their own case studies of learnings along the way. That goes back to my comment of trust. If it's always me going in trying to sell a technology, they assume I'm trying to sell something, as opposed to creating a conversation within the sector itself. Sure. And yes, you can jump in. I'll just, I'll contribute quickly. I think it's almost a clash of cultures, if you will. From a technology standpoint, we're used to trying new things. That's what we do. From an engineering, a water perspective, we can't, there's no room for error. It has to work. It must work. So, for me, call it what you will. But digitization creates this space for creativity that's badly needed. By creating a representation of the physical system, you have a place where you can do scenario planning and you can try different things. But the trust is a big thing, right, to get over and to start, you know, exploring that. I can go back to a couple other things, again, going off script here. And that, you know, I know we're primarily talking about the water utility sector. But there's a broader value proposition with these new tools, if you will, that we're talking about, where the public sector, industrial clients, civil society, you know, everybody, basically, suddenly has tools to collect data, aggregate the data, and turn it into actionable information. So to me, it's this relationship with water that is being transformed through AI, fill-in-the-blank, and so on. And one thing that we touched on was the issue of technology doesn't sell itself. So Patrick, you're talking about building trust. I mean, this is basically, you know, what's the human dimension here in terms of workforce and so on? So can you all sort of jump in a little bit on the soft side of deploying these new tools across all sectors? And Arlene, to talk about the generational push in all of this, because you are the youngest one on the panel. I think, yeah, the young generation, they are very, I think, active. They're born with their mobile and the speed internet being always proactive, always supplying time. So I think they are very going in parallel with the new technologies, although we'll embrace the technology. I think it will be the key factor that will help all the companies, not only utilities, but also other companies, to bring the specialty millennials into and jumping in the millennials into their workforce in order to prepare this skill set which is needed. And this, I think the generation will be embraced by the technology area. So I think it's good opportunity for all the companies to start thinking in advance about that. Thank you. I think the human element that you touched upon is probably the most important one. Technology is the easier part if you ask me. A couple of weeks ago we had a very difficult discussion with one of the treatment plant owners in UK. He owns a treatment plant around set for the last about 15 years and his question was, I have a budget. I have to produce X volume of water every day of certain quality. If I do that, I go home happy. Why do I go digital? What's what's in there for me? And we didn't have an answer because he was doing his job. What he's supposed to do in the right way using whatever tools and equipment he has. So taking him on the journey for digitization or going digital, whether it's new new equipment for treatment, whether it's new handhelds for his people, it's that's extremely important. I would only add though that we're always going to have those examples. You know, there's always going to be the utility who's reasonably slow to adopt for all the reasons that we've articulated here. But I think I look at the convergence in two ways. I think about it from the inside out in terms of the human element. What we find is if we go in and we're meeting with the CEO of the utility or the CTO or CO or whatever and we come in over the top with our moonshot on what they ought to be able to do and we're not working it through the middle management, the operating layer. It's like anybody in human nature. You don't want to have your boss coming in and say I just met with so and so and they think there's a whole better way to do it. You've got to work the relationship at multiple levels of the utility. The good news is generationally that's changing and they are expecting to have things faster, cheaper, smarter. But then I think about what's happening in the greater society. We're seeing more and more of the utilities that are progressive because they need to be focusing much more on the consumer engagement, helping people empower themselves on their own footprint, but to be more transparent around how they're operating as a utility. That's a whole brave new world that is going to require them to make moves in the so-called digital space that there wouldn't otherwise be thinking about. So I think it's a positive convergence that we're seeing, but it takes time. It's not evenly spread. Right. So that's an interesting thread and Evelyn, I'll jump in a minute, but the two-way relationship between the water provider, water user, and the customer, consumer, citizen, scientist, whatever we want to call it, is now enabled by these new tools. So Evelyn, I'm interested in your take on all this. You were nodding. I was going to have a take on the previous question, but I'll try to have a take on this one as well. It's about the generation of data and how the consumer is there. I would think then immediately about smart censoring and all these things we have in our houses to control water consumption and so on.  Maybe I don't want to have...  So what is the added value, I think? If we want to install these smart meters, it will take a lot of human dimension to show the customer what is the added value of that. I would just real quickly add, I think, that that's incredibly on point because it's not digitization for the purpose of digitization. It's to what end? So what is the goal that you're trying to achieve and then work backwards? Maybe there's a new way with these new technologies and tools that we have to get to that end point, but we just haven't figured it out because what we've done in the past was move from A to B to C. And so these... If we can use these technologies to blow up... Not to blow up, I shouldn't use a gas industry analogy, but if we can use these new tools to rethink how we're actually working and do it more efficiently than... And do so by bringing the people along who have to actually make the change, I think that's where you start to see everyone collaborating and working together. My take is that this is really not optional in a way. I mean, we're having this intellectual conversation about a set of tools that have emerged, but fundamentally, we're facing increasing water scarcity, declining water quality, and when supply exceeds demand, you could be really sloppy. I don't think we can be sloppy with the gallon or a liter anymore. So we're going to have to get over these human hurdles and value proposition, perceived cost issues, and so on. There's really no choice. I mean, is that how you see it? Or am I pushing an agenda here? No, I mean, you know, I pick said country, pick said utility, pick said watershed. You know, they're each facing different issues, but I go back to the notion of when there is necessity, okay, when there is no other option. Whatever that may be, it may be scarcity for industrial expansion. It may be a resilience of the water infrastructure to climate change. It may be the affordability issue, which is pretty much commonplace around the world. I find the affordability. If the regulator pushes you. If the regulator pushes you. You know, I was in India three weeks ago, and I met with three of the different state ministers. And the very first thing they started the conversation with was the key block for me to build out my smart cities initiatives in India is water. It's water scarcity. But then it quickly goes to water affordability. And then you begin the conversation around, you know, how are you dealing with your non-revenue water issue? And you start digging deeper into it. That's when the eyes let up. And then you begin to have the technology conversation around what solutions actually exist. But if you go in there starting with our pitch on all the great technology we have, it's a non-starter in that conversation. Arlanda, can you jump in on this because you're nodding. I mean, you're living in this world where. I think, yeah, because I'm practitioner, so that's the reason why I'm always a bit concerned of, like, jumping in new technologies. I'm just trying to figure out how to adjust tariffs in the end and think about affordability issues. So, yeah, it's, it's, it will not happen during the night. I mean, it's a process. It has to start. You can start with new technologies and then talk more about digital technologies, but it's a process. So I don't think it will happen everywhere the same and everywhere in the same time. It's lumpy, as it should be. I mean, any transformation looks like that. So, you know, I think for us to assume that this is a linear path, a road map, you know, plan A is not realistic in the scheme of things. Eveline. But digitalization is, and I agree with it, but to add to that, digitalization will never be a goal as such. We will also always have to keep in mind what specific goals we have for specific cases and which part of the digitalization we need for that. It's a bit like modeling, I feel. You can be a very extensive model with all levels of detail, but in the end you only need to answer your first question. Right.  How much are you seeing in terms of, in quotes, outsiders transforming not the water sector but our relationship with water? And you know, you're obviously living proof of this, but I'm interested in your take in terms of how do you bring outsiders in? You know, is that really transforming the sector? You know, some examples. Who wants to go first? Eveline. A simple first example I'm thinking of is interdisciplinarity is very important and if we see in other sectors that they have good solutions for certain problems, we should not reinvent the wheel. For instance, specifically for data management and data accuracy assurance, there are very good and proven technologies in the chemical engineering sector, but we will have to apply them to our specific cases with specific variables and boundary conditions. I would say generally speaking that if I think about it in the world of utility, I think that the role that the so-called outsiders, because I don't, you know, our tag line is let's solve water. Get rid of the apostrophe, it's let us solve water. We don't care who, whoever wants to jump in, come right at it, but I do think that there with the utility, typically speaking, just getting access to the data, so having an off-the-shelf platform tool that they can gather data is not necessarily particularly helpful. They're overwhelmed by data. It's who can actually turn that into actionable insight around the very network, hardware, physical network they're trying to improve, whether it be the pipeline, the pumps, the treatment plant, so you're still going to need the level of domain expertise that people with longevity in the water sector bring to them. Where I think there's even more of a positive disruption for the more advanced utilities is whether it be the IBMs, the Googles, the Microsofts, and others, you know, Amazon is getting involved, they're thinking about it as much in terms of the user of water's empowerment. How do we build the social interface at that individual level in terms of the water piece of the equation? And we talked before we came out getting rid of the word water sector, which is a silo as opposed to water simply being one important aspect of people's lives. How does it contribute to Smarter City? How does the electric utility, how does the gas utility, how does it all come together? And in the end, what is it that the end consumer wants? Because you have these end customers that have paid for these smart meter networks, right, for electric and gas, but we don't have water yet. Well, maybe we should. Maybe we should piggyback. Maybe we should find a way to leverage, you know, we're such a fragmented industry. So how do we look at the bigger picture? Yeah, in one of the innovation sessions in Northumbria and water recently, we had representations from the customer and retailers. And the top three things they wanted was a single bill for all their utilities, so which underpins data sharing, which underpins, you know, processes has to be common and stuff like that. And then they were saying when a power company can do a smart meter in my home, why not a water company? So there are opportunities to learn from other sectors. Yeah, again, it will take time. One size fits all doesn't help. In this case, it will take some time. So I'd like to stay on schedule and we're over, unfortunately. But let's be bold, you know, what does this look like in what are two sentences going forward? I mean, what's your vision of what water will look like with a whole new set of tools? So just real quick before we wrap it up, Eveline. Not just big amounts of data, but big quality data that we measure the things, not everything we can possibly measure, but exactly to give us the information we want. Great, Marlinda. Toby with more young people that will embrace the technology and will be speedily implementing, I think. Wonderful. Where the utility is able to use a common set of data and they can use insights and machine learning other tools to be able to determine where the next best dollar of capital could be spent addressing the whole issue of water affordability and to a world in which the young people are demanding that they have a chance to be empowered in terms of what their own water footprint is. I think the whole situation is around intelligence operations. So it fits into good quality of data, as you mentioned. What intelligence do we derive from them? And that's where I see a big change of the water companies with all these new technologies coming in. They would be in a better place with the data, with intelligence, which would help them to become more proactive rather than reactive. That's where it's going. For me, it's just the smarter communities. It's the ability to, again, break down the silos to collaborate across all participants and really solve for the most enduring problems that we have in this world. So I want to thank you. I will just add one thing. I think that really what we're talking about is equity and abundance. So how do we take all these tools that are wonderful and magical and achieve SDG6 and not wastewater but create abundance for all of us in an equitable manner? So thank you for being part of the panel. Thank you for being part of the solution. So a round of applause for the panelists, please.


Hey guys, Sean with jaspyscasebrakes.com debating how many hits Joe and I could have if we had 200 at bats combined, but I want to do a recap and we have a randomizer for the 2020 Panini Luminance Football Six Box Half Case Breaks Number 8. We had a non-signed player, Nathan Rourke from Ohio University, so that's gonna get randomized to the entire group of customers. So we're gonna go over here. We've got a list of all the customers from Serenity down to Jordan, and we're gonna do a dice roll to see who gets the Nathan Rourke. And we're gonna do it ten times apparently. Canadian Football League second-round pick 15th overall, Nathan Rourke. Ten times on the randomizer, nine and tenth and final time. Going to Rocio. So Rocio, you now have the Nathan Rourke Ohio University Auto, and a little recap. Very nice half-case guys. This was our last case of Luminance. This is the last half of it. Jacob Eason, we had two autos. Very nice names. Jeff Okuda, third overall pick. Cam Akers, Lamar Jackson, but not the Lamar Jackson. Brandon Cooks, couple of redemptions. Denzel Mims going to the Jets. Courtney Davis going to the Vikings, and then Nancy with the Cincinnati Bengals had herself a break. Joe Burroughs to 50. Joe Burrough case hit. Joe Burrough year one signature redemption. And Joe Burrough auto number to 25. So congrats Nancy and everybody else in the break. Thank you guys very much. That was 2020 Padini Luminance Football Six Box Half-Case Break number eight. JasperCaseBreaks.com. We'll see you next time.


It's not a pain point but it's something I've noticed. I feel it and a lot of my peers I'm sure feel it. It's almost this thing that when we say digital it's almost like an afterthought. So when griefs go out, when agencies work on them, you do the big idea first and you make the TV see first, which is understandable because that's how we've done it in the years. And it's only after everything is over then it's now it's about ticking the boxes and then you start to think about it. And then it's whereas when you start with almost at the same time and in instances when we've done that, when we've been in rooms where you know the griefs have come at really upstream, you can then create for platforms, you can ensure that the work isn't just sort of retrofitted and optimized but it's made specially leveraging all of those superpowers that are available on digital. And I wish that that would happen a lot more because when that becomes a priority and people the best creatives start working on it, then awesome work will happen. So that's the one key pain point I find that I wish that would change. Because the intent is there, the talent is there. It's just the prioritization of how late it comes in, whether your best people are working on it, whether it's at the heart of what we do.


everybody. First day filming on the GoPro 10 that I bought yesterday. I've already had a camera just like this before so I know it's a good camera. What's neat about this GoPro is that there's a screen right on the front here so I can see myself talking to you so I know if I'm in frame or not. Whereas the GoPro Hero 8 that I usually use doesn't have that. I had a GoPro Hero 10 like this before like I was saying but it broke. So let's try to be very very careful with this one. My Hero 8 got stolen or lost. I'm gonna say stolen but might have been lost. Anyways. Morning Theo. Look at that. You got a fancy GoPro. You like that? Not quite as big as that big one with the fluffy mic eh? Show them your feet. Show them your those are very nice feet. Very nice. Wow where did these come from? Did you make those? Are those yours? Because that's where they were around here yesterday too. We're getting company in a little bit. First dad and stepmom are coming over. Theo's grandpa are in there. That means we've got a vacuum on the floor or we've got a vacuum on every day with our clothes but that's what people have in common. I don't know how she does it but in a way Brett keeps this house just immaculate all the time. Reminds me very much of my mom growing up. Very very clean people. Clean houses and no matter how hard I try it'll never be as clean as she gets it but I try. I try. Vacuuming is pretty straightforward.  I mean that's pretty I think I can handle that. Pretty sure. And to be honest I do like things to be very clean. Like it bothers me when things aren't clean. So I do try my best but I'm just not one of my fortes. It's not one of my greatest achievements in life to keep things just immaculately clean. I like it to be clean but it's a lot of work. It is. So that's why when I see guys driving down the road with a clean truck that you can eat off the floor I'm impressed. Honestly genuinely impressed. That takes a lot of work and effort. My hats are off to you guys. Oh I'm almost done buddy. I'm almost done. The rest of the cells are shouting. Tell everybody. Hello everybody. I'm hungry. So hungry. What's that? Off to the next day I'm getting ready to leave. So we're gonna continue this as we get ready. Tomorrow's vlog will be us going to Canora. Brought the cooler home to test it. Works great. I'll show you. Got it plugged back in here in the shop. Drove from the house to here. It was two degrees when I left the house. It's now three degrees. So only lost one degree on the way here and I had it unplugged for a total of about 20 minutes from when I unplugged it. Put it in the truck. Got in the truck. Left got here. Plugged it back in. 20 to 30 minutes lost one degree. So that's pretty good. It holds the temperature well. That means that I can feel comfortable going from the shop to home with perishable foods in there and it'll keep it cool. I didn't know how well the insulation was if it had. Obviously it's built for that. So my review of this Bodega cooler is actually, you know, five stars. Five out of five. It's fantastic. It cools down fast. It's very quiet. It's running right now. You want here? Like listen to this thing. Very, very quiet. It has a plug where you can plug it into the wall that I'm using right now or a plug that you can plug it into the cigarette lighter in your vehicle and it also has a battery voltage meter. It'll tell you right on here. That's the battery level of your vehicle. Obviously I'm plugged into the wall right now. So it says full battery. But on here when I turn my truck off overnight, it'll show me what my truck batteries are at and I can set it for high, medium, low voltage protection. I have it set on high so that when it's in the truck and my battery level goes down just a little bit, it'll shut the cooler off or the fridge. It's actually a fridge. Shut the fridge and freezer off to protect the battery so I can still start the truck. But it shouldn't need to do that because this thing will be able to run all night. No problem on the battery. Because it keeps its temperature so well, I'm sure the compressor will barely even have to run it all. Depends how hot the night is, I guess. I really like it. I think it's a good purchase. I mean, if you guys are looking, where's the name brand? Check it out. Anyways, I would recommend it. They're not paying me to say that. So that's a genuine review. Pretty cool. So what I've decided to do is turn it into one big fridge but leave the divider in there for now. I can take it out if I want. So in here, you have the light at the front there. And I've turned both sides to stay at two degrees Celsius. It's probably with 35 Fahrenheit. So they're both cooling down to the fridge. If I want to, I can take this divider right out of here and take these baskets out of here too. And the whole thing can be one big freezer or one big cooler. I tested it out. It works great. It does. Both of them. And I got the freezer to go down to minus 18 Celsius. The lowest it's set for, you can set it to go down to minus 20. But I had it plugged in for a couple of hours at home and it went only down to about minus 18. I think I saw minus 19 at one point. I never saw actual minus 20 but you can set it to go down to there. I'm sure it can reach there if you leave it on long enough or if the weather outside isn't that hot. I mean, it would keep stuff frozen at minus 18, minus 19. So I cleaned out my entire truck before we got going, which took quite a bit. It's amazing how much junk you accumulate in there. In such a sort of, just like a year. So all kinds of stuff in there that, oh, I thought if I used it one day, never used it. So if I didn't use it in the last year, in the garbage it goes. I don't need it to weigh me down. I don't need to take it up space. There's almost stuff in the garbage. I'm still looking for my old GoPro 10 extra batteries and charging box. I know I have it somewhere. So I know I had it had a blue lid. It'll be in the shop here somewhere. Somewhere. I'm not buying new ones and I don't need new ones because I have them already. I just need to know where batteries for GoPro 10. They're bigger than the Hero 8. Bigger batteries so I had them in the truck for the longest time and then finally I'm like why am I keeping these in the truck? I'm not even using my GoPro 10. So I had a GoPro 10. It was a gift and I was very thankful for that and I, to be honest, accidentally it fell out of my hands while I was walking. It got unintentionally dropped and it broke and I felt so bad and I've never admitted that until right now I think but so I was using my GoPro Hero 8 until that got lost or stolen. Now I got another GoPro 10. I bought it and now I need to know where those batteries are. Where did you go? Why did you leave me? I'll find it yet. Okay it's time to put the cooler in there and see how it fits. I loaded it full of food first. That was probably a bad idea. I should put it in there first. That's not bad. That's not bad. There you got this. Okay so I need some lights on in here in the back. So it's working. I haven't had this truck running for a while but the truck's not running and it says that the battery is at 10.7 volts with this running. You can see that the battery power of the truck is not very strong right now. I've also had to turn the the auto off too low instead of high so it wouldn't run on high. So let's turn it back up to medium see if it'll run on medium. Oh yeah let's turn it up to high. See there's the L medium high enter. So now high protection. So the battery level might be too low and it might kick off the cooler to save the battery. See the inside temperature of the fridge right now is three and the freezer is four. They're supposed to both be down at two. So far it's still going. Okay when the truck is running that should be at about 13 volts. It's a 12 volt system so it's it's not too bad. Yeah it's running and I'm probably going to have it right here because here I can open it right get to my food. If I want to look I have water behind there right now. I don't know if you can see it or not. Cases of water. If I move those I could slide this whole thing underneath the bunk. Little update here. So I had it at high protection to protect the battery so that I can definitely start the truck again right.  The truck's been sitting here for a little while. The batteries are probably going down a little bit. I like it that it shuts off so that I can definitely start my truck again.  It gave me an F1 air code. The battery levels are at 11.9 volts. 12 volts is normal. So my batteries are actually doing just fine but it did shut off to protect them. Now if it's going to do that every time I stop even though my batteries are just below 12 volts that's going to be annoying because I want this thing to run through the night. So the high protection might be a little bit too much protection for the batteries. I might need to go down to medium or maybe even low. I'll have to test this out. Sometime probably in the shop uh like here in the shop when uh I have the time over the weekend I'll leave it in here on low and just run it and see when it shuts off with nothing in it and then come back and see if I can still start the truck even if it was only on low battery protection. So I didn't like it on high so let's press settings. Move it down to medium. Let's try that. We'll clear that code. All right so I'd have to do some research to find out exactly how much power this thing draws but on medium protection it's running again. Remember without this cooler running it was saying that I had 11.9 volts on my batteries. They're pretty much fully charged then they're not and there's no problem with them but with this thing running right now and without my truck running it brings it down to 10.7 10.6 volts but remember this thing's also on eco mode and it won't run the whole time it'll just bring it down to the temperature that I asked it to and then it'll shut off until it needs to start up again. So it's not running constantly like my other cooler was. My other cooler was just one of those coolers with the fins right it's just constantly running and it doesn't actually refrigerate it just chills or cools. I'm pretty excited to see how this works this whole trip here. I'm just going to see if I can get the water out of the way. See I got my big Costco water underneath there. I'm trying to get that out of the way to see if this thing will fit under the bed but I think I'm going to leave it here anyways because it's just me in here and it's just easier accessible to be able to get in there like that right. Okay so that's that does it then proves it my measurements were correct. I've got my water all out of there you see it the cooler fits under there just perfect so if I wanted the extra space in the truck I know I can put it under the bunk no problem but since it's just me in here and probably like I said I'm going to leave it out here in the open I have my desk my desk what I call out here anyways where I have my computer on usually so it'll just be underneath that I can't stand there anyway it's just me so you know if I ever take diesel along again I don't know if I will I was really thinking of taking him along on this trip again I really wanted him to come along I miss having him in here but he's got a heart murmur now he's getting old he's got severe anxiety and he's just he doesn't do well in the truck anymore he doesn't eat when he's in the truck and he's just so happy at home with his brothers and his mom and Theo now I just it's just best that he's at home best for him not exactly best for me I mean I need him here it'd be nice to have him here he was sort of like my my support buddy right so I miss him a lot in here and I know what you guys do too he was a big part of the vlog for nine ten years now here's what it is he deserves his retirement now he's he did his job as a support animal an unregistered support animal for me for a long time and you know he deserves to be able to just relax now and enjoy his golden years enjoy the rest of his life hopefully he has several years left yet but now he's got a big yard to run around in brothers to play with he eats well at home he gets the gourmet meals all the time brit makes him all the special stuff all the time he gets all these treats he's spoiled it's better for him to be at home doesn't mean I don't miss him but if I were to ever have a dog in here I could my point was that I could put the cooler under the bed just to free up a little bit more space here well we're getting all blue red head off to kanora right away and that'll be tomorrow's vlog got quite a bit of stuff organized we've got the cooler fridge in the truck now filled with food that was the highlight obviously and got this new gopro i'm filming on now this is the first vlog on this new camera it's not the first time i've had a 10 but is the first time i've had this gopro 10 the gopro max will be the next upgrade but we're gonna wait until we have the house for that we spent enough money now i needed a cooler because my other cooler was making my food go bad and i'm actually gonna save money by having this cooler because i don't have to buy food at every meal which is what i'd have to do before it was very limited things all i could really do with that other cooler is just keep my drinks cool not even cold just cool so now i can actually have food in there and i don't have to buy food at truck stops every day to eat so i'll save money it'll pay for itself over time won't even take too long with the price of food now it is and then i think we're all set now for the next year so it might even be two years before we can buy a new house but we want to make sure we do this right we want to make sure that we have enough of a down payment that our monthly payments aren't going to be unmanageable we'll need to take into account future interest rates if they're going to keep going up or if they're going to freeze or if they're going to go back down they were unreasonably low for a long long time so i don't know where normal is i haven't been in the housing market for long enough i've owned my own house now for 10 13 13 years since 20 no when did i buy that house when i was 26 so about nine years i've been a homeowner nine 10 years so i don't have much of a basis to to base my interest rate history on right hopefully the truck runs well it's been running really well so far knock on wood uh that engine's been great it will need to rebuild i'm sure probably in the next few years i'm hoping to get another three years out of it yet before i'll need to think about rebuilding it the truck itself has three million kilometers on it that's about 1.8 million miles the engine has about what was it 800,000 kilometers around 500,000 miles since it's been completely rebuilt so it's getting there i'm hoping i can get three more years we'll see we'll see we average if i run full time the entire year for a full year you get about 200,000 kilometers in a year which would be one sec which is that miles i always look i'm gonna translate everything into american because i know a lot of you watching our american like 50 between 50 and 60 percent of my audience is based in america so i like to make sure you guys can understand the measurements and stuff that i'm talking about as well so that i'm not just speaking foreign to you uh so 200,000 kilometers is a good year that's that's a full year i probably don't hit that because i'm regional now but 200,000 kilometers would be 124,000 miles just over so uh let's say i get about between 100 and 124,000 miles a year between 150 and 200,000 kilometers so it'll be a little over uh put a million 1.2 it might be two years i'm three years we'd be getting close to uh close to 1.5 or 8,910 hmm 1.3 million kilometers or so since the rebuild so it'll be time if i if it lasts three years it'll be time to get it rebuilt again we'll see it all depends on the truck every truck's different everybody treats their trucks differently everybody runs it differently if you're hard on it it's not gonna last as long i try to be as nice to her as possible give her all the five star treatments and everything and never open her up too long all the way sometimes you just gotta give her i get it but you don't want to just give her every single stop light you know i'm doing my best maybe there's some things i could be doing better i'm doing my best so let's let's hope that it lasts another three years okay anyways i'm gonna end this vlog here we're gonna start tomorrow's vlog right here in the spot we're going to canora i hope you join us subscribe so you don't miss it there's gonna be a lot of trucking content coming in the channel in the next for the rest of the month i've had a lot of time off now at home it's

up with the algorithms leave me a comment down below and let me know what you're thinking get to know each other a little bit more you know me i don't know you tell me something about yourself i'll talk to you later take care and drive safe


What's up guys? It's the long-awaited duel between myself and RhymeStyle. We've dueled with Pax, but now it's time to duel on Master Duel. Just so you know, actually to the people at home, I hear Yugi Bloomer, you're kinda Yugi, right? Oh yeah, straight up. We're gonna give you a Declastic Dark Magician vs. Blue Ice setup. We're doing a best of two, two different duels. If one person takes a 2-0, they win. If we go 1-1, you guys will have to hit. How many likes you think it to get for a rematch? I say 10 million likes. 10 million likes for it to rematch. That sounds about right. Let's get into this thing. I'm going first. I'm feeling good about this. Do you prefer going first? Yes, I do prefer going first. I can get setup and everything. Okay. I actually hate going first, but that's because I built my deck around responding. Yeah, your deck is... I mean, if I'm going off the dual-links deck that you played, I'm sure you added some other stuff, but it seems a lot more like a going second deck. Something like that. Alright, we're playing Dark Magician. A list here. Okay. But yeah, it's not pure Dark Magician. Let's do this in the beginning right here. Okay. Alright, Maxi. Fun card, fun card. Okay, but that's fine. We haven't special summoned yet. I know that. The reason why I like to toss in the beginning is to make you stop your turn. Yeah, I figure you would, but fortunately for me, Alistar is a normal summon. It's a spellcaster.  Okay, now I got to think about what I want to do because Maxi Challenge is a real thing. And giving you two cards is pretty scary. Don't forget, I am just using blue eyes here. You are just using blue eyes, so you probably don't have to worry too much, but we'll see. Probably know I might have bricked. Yeah, that's true. I mean, I have a feeling you didn't brick though. So I think we're going to do a mini-challenge here. So we're going to special. Okay, okay, okay. See, I like the confidence. Yeah, I'll boost. We're going to give you a pot of greed, which doesn't feel good at all. Alright, I mean, let me do some reading while you're doing this. Okay. Alright, if you want me to explain anything, I'm down. Well, if you want to do like a mini explanation, go for it too. Okay, so I'm bringing out Mechaba, which is an Omni-Negate. It banishes anything that it negates. So if I negate like your monster, it's going to banish it. I do have to pitch it the same type though. So if you activate a monster, I have to pitch a monster to negate it. It works for spells and traps as well. I'm getting the Alistar back to my hand because invocation effect allows me to send invocation back to deck and bring Alistar back to my hand. So now I'm going to follow up with my actual Dark Magician card. We're going to go Soul Servant. This is going to let me take any basically a Dark Magician card and put on top of your deck. So we don't want to change anything to that. So Mechaba only does it once per turn though, right? It's not a hard once per turn. So if I have two Mechaba on the field, I can do it twice. But with one, it's once per turn. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to put the Magician Souls on top of my deck. I'm going to set one card. Okay. We're going to pass it over. See what you got. I gave you two cards, which does not feel good. Actually, I'm happy you did that because, well, you're about to see what's going to happen. Oh, no. So I'm taking this back to 2002 with a little bit of Reiki. Go ahead. Activate it. Activate it. I dare you. The question is, will you be able to win if I don't negate this? It's not good, but you kind of have to. I feel like we're in trouble either way with this. We're going to negate it. We got to keep this on the field because I know Blue Eyes does have the potential to OTK if you have the right cards. So we're going to do that. Well, I'm happy you did that because this was definitely bait. Yeah. Well, I know it was bait, but like either way, like, you know, I had to decide. Are you playing triple Reiki? Oh, wait, is it? Oh, it's not triple Reiki. That's TCG. It's TCG. It's unlimited now, though. All right. So first things first, with a little bit of this. Okay. Yeah. Bring out the Whitestone respect. All right. And one of these. Okay. Pretty cool. I'm going to get a special summon. Dragon Spirital White. Okay. Yeah. And I'm going for the bottom card. That's fine. That's fine. Yeah. Let it go. It wasn't doing anything. Eternal Soul would have screwed me later. All right. This is the part where I'm kind of screwed, unless I got a little luck of a draw. This is the actual card I wanted to play. Harder the cards. Oh, you didn't have a Blue Eyes by Dragon. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. We set this. I have a little bit of confidence.  I'm crashing. Okay. I think that's probably fine. I think. But wait, I ain't done yet. I am just going to end here because I can do this. Yeah. You're going to get a special. That's nice. And we can finish this as well. Yeah. Get rid of the meltdown. Okay. Okay. Okay. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. All right. I like it. I like it. All right. I'm going to draw into the card that I know I'm drawing because I put it there. I think we start off with a normal summon here. Right. Well, activate his effect. You got another Maxi back there. No. Okay. That's nice. That's nice to hear. A really nice thing is the fact that you are playing blue eyes, which is a light. So that is that's going to work well for my invocation because I can banish cards from your graveyard as well. Well, that's not good. And Mekuba is a light. So that's pretty nice. So we obviously don't. You can get advantage from the white stone. So we're going to get rid of that. Good play. We're going to special the Mekuba. Fortunately for you, I've played this blue eyes deck a lot too. So I know that there's some good cards in there. Okay. Well, unfortunately, I should say, okay. So I'm going to get the invocation back to the deck. We're going to get the Alistar back to hand. Oh, because you get a banished card back. Yeah. So I get Alistar back to my hand. He's also a hand trap for my fusions, by the way. Right, right, right, right, right. Now we're going to go with the souls. We're going to send it to graveyard and special summon a... Well, first we're going to send a dark magician to graveyard. I slightly misplayed just now. Okay. Okay, he's not going to tell me yet. So I guess we'll find out. I think we go for this. The souls in graveyard. We're going to get a draw off this. Just one though, because I don't have a dark magician girl in graveyard. If I did, we could get a double draw, which would be pretty sweet. Okay. Okay, we're going to draw. Oh, that's a cool card. Did you just get game? No, I didn't get game. I didn't get game. It is a good card though. I think that we should probably use it. All right, I guess I'll activate it. Called by... Oh, yeah. That would have been a good card. Yeah. This is why I said I misplayed. I should have banished your dark magician. I thought I was able to banish the magician's soul and then it would negate it. I mean, I guess I can't do much about that. Okay. We'll force that. Now, okay. The problem is everybody's 2,500 on the field. This is what we're going to do. We're going to go to battle. We're going to go in with dark magician versus blue eyes of equal strength. Okay, smart. Okay. Boom. Okay. We're going to go direct for 25. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, let's see. I can handle a 25. See what you got back there. Okay. Is that nothing too crazy coming out of the hand? We're going to set a card and we're going to hand it over to you. Let's see what you got. Boy, am I happy that that's all you did. Yeah, this is not a really OTK deck. It's a little bit slower. And that is game, my friend. Oh, okay. You're going to bring back that. That's pretty good. Yeah. That's okay. Go for it. If you can't stop this is game. All right. We'll see if I know me. I might misplay it too. Yeah, you never know. You never know. Okay. Yeah. Misclicked, misclicked. Come on. Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. Why this is why I say it might get a little bit insane here in a second. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, the levy in the blue eyes. You got an alternative in there as well. Let me show you my little luck over here real fast. Oh, let me show you my luck. You're going for it. Huh?  All right. Well, we'll see. Hold on. I'm going into that play. I don't know. This is going to work out. Oh, okay. So we do this first. So if I do this, this and that. One, two, three. Okay. I can do this. It's all lights, right? All light monsters. You're going to get the special light, light, light. Okay. Let's, uh, let's see what you got. Special summon the blue eyes, white dragon. So the pledge you did earlier was banishing my egg. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. If I had that one egg in there right now, you would just, you would take 17,000 damage right now. But I'm doing something a little bit different here because I know you can negate my effect. Hmm. You're playing it so safe right now. Like, I know you got, you got one negate.  Yeah. It's really good. The banished part is really good because it doesn't, it doesn't count as targeted either. Yeah. It just banishes it. So you'll be able to target dragon 97, right? Yeah. If you activate 97's effect, I should be able to negate it and no banish it. You're googly on. Well, wait a minute. Hold on. Let's, let's be safe here. I'm just going for attack because at that, at that point you just got to take it. Uh, we don't because we can Alistar. Thank you dragon lords. Yeah. Okay. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. It's, the dragon lords is very problematic here. Yeah. No, if I don't, if I don't get dragon lord out in the beginning, I am basically screwed from every meta that exists in the game. Yeah. That card's pretty good. Okay. What can, but here's the thing. You have no protection now. Oh, ho, ho. That, it gives me a chance. It gives me a chance. We drew another one. But unfortunately ruxen have to give you the skill drain Oh, it's not even at three in this game. Pain. Oh no. Okay. Wait, is there anything we can do here? I don't, I don't think you know, it's funny. Is that extra because so maxi I drew two terrible cards back to back. Right. So those two cards you drew me, save me from a break just so you know, I didn't want to say at the beginning of the tool. No. Okay. So I think at this point, is there anything we can do? Well, you're going to be able to do, well, you've skill drained yourself. I'm trying to think if there's anything I can draw before you just, well, you've got nine K on the board. I'll be honest with you. I partially skill drain myself because I learned something the other day about skill drain and his deck. Yeah. It's only on the field. Yeah. So, right, some of it, but it's, there's something else that I found out that I didn't know about. Okay. Well, I'm interested to find out what it is. So let's see. It's kind of nice. I'm gonna just go for the attacks here might as well. All right. All right. Clear that field real fast. The skill drain. I love this card. I'm sure I'm sure and and nobody can tell me anything because end of the day. I still play blue eyes. Yeah. Well, blue eyes is I mean, once you get skill drain and blue eyes, that's pretty good because they're huge. Okay, let's see.  What is this on the field?  Yeah. So what happens? Oh, wow.   Oh, yeah. You mean you chain it over skill drain. So like it goes first. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is good. I'll play it safe. Gotta play one of that mirror force. I mean, look, I ran into a couple of mirror forces and every time I see it, it blows my mind. I'm like, are you kidding me? Yeah. It's like, is this real? All right. Here we go. Game two skill drain, baby skill drain is like it's blue eyes, but it works. Oh, also, by the way, I drew two eternal souls, which is in my first day, which is terrible against the fact that you have dragons of white in the beginning. I think I had a two trade-ins alternative and then a spin and egg. Then right. Oh, my God, that right. I get you was actually huge. If you didn't have that big, I had to go for the bait. Yeah. That was big. Okay. Fortunately for us, we drew this. Let's see if you got us. You got another maxi for us. I wish I did is what I would say, but I do have it. Oh my gosh. Last time this did not pay off. So I have a love hate relationship with maxi.  Yeah, but I also love it because it gives me no chance of starting. Yeah. It's kind of fun. Okay. The last time you bricked pretty hard, which was, uh, which was fun. You know what? We're going to switch up the strategy this time. Let's see what you got. Oh, see what you got. Okay. You made the right call. Okay, good. Good. Yeah. Giving you two last time felt really bad. This second door might go fast. We'll see.  Like once it starts going, it's going basically with both of the deck. It's the matter of who gets your engine started first. Let's do that. And here comes. Oh, Artemis. Yep. Artemis simply just to give me a light for mecobo basically. Um, right? So we do that invocation. It's funny looking back at all those times where I open all those recent modern day packs, like looking for 10,000 drag or something like that. Invocation was in that set. Yeah. I see all these cars now where people used to come like, Oh, it's a good car. Ryan's a good car. And I had no idea.  I don't care. I want 10,000 drag. Yeah. Same for me. Like, because we were was another one. The montage of putting the bureau and people like, this is a good card. I'm like, I don't know anything about it, man. Dude, that's exactly how we both were. We're like, dude, I don't care about these medicards. And then we like start playing and we're like, Oh, that's what they were talking about. Okay. I'm going to say it. I'm banned dragon. I agree. I agree. Well, especially DPE. I love DPE, man. When that actually it's not a band yet, but it's not even in the game. But when that shows up, that's going to be fun. I think we want to go through. If the OCG will like your out of it, or if we're getting rather than I don't think it'll get your out. I think it's pretty fair, actually. Dragoon is my problem with Dragoon. If Dragoon is banned and by the way to the people at home, uh, he's not banning TCG. He's banning OCG and this game follows OCG rules. If he's banned the OCG rules, why is Harold of ultimate still allowed? Dude, I don't know. I think that card is way worse. Also this ban list is not actually OCG. It's a it's its own ban list. So it's like a mixture. Yeah. I thought it was everyone thought it was OCG early and I did to, uh, but apparently it's actually both. So it's, it's really weird. Yeah. But yeah, it's pretty. It's actually kind of cool to have like a different format. Uh, I think we're going to go, I think we're going to go to battle. This is a stone. This is definitely a stone.  You know what I should have done? I should have Alistar attacked that thing. I should have banished it with my own invocation. That's what I should have done. That would have been big brain. Okay. It would have been, yeah, it would have been a slower play, but it probably would have done way more for you. Okay. We're going to do that. Okay. Now that I know you can bring out spirit of white, I probably don't want to set anything. Your call.  Well, because the thing with eternal soul is once it leaves the field, it destroys all my monsters. So like, yeah, that's why I don't use true light. Yeah. And eternal soul is a little better. Uh, but even then that, that drawback is pretty significant, especially when it's like a bunch of stuff on the field. Okay. Everybody keeps telling me to use true light. I'm like, no, true light is not a good card. I mean, it's a good card, but it's way too dangerous. Yeah. True light is worse too. Like, I, I think it, they can still target blue eyes and stuff like with dark magician, you can't target the dark magicians because of eternal soul, which is pretty cool. Well, hold on. Does eternal soul activate when you banish it or just destroy it? Cause for true light, if you banish it, it doesn't activate the effect. I think it's what, you know, this one says when it leaves the field, which so it's anything, yeah, that's way and it can go to your hand and it can still do that. So that's terrible. Yeah. All right. This is going to be weird. We're not going to set. Okay. You're going to get that, which I'm considering negating this because I really don't want you to have anything on the field. So you know what? I'm going to actually, I'm going to negate that and I'm going to pitch my, uh, my maxi. That was a smart play. Yeah. Cause once you get that stuff out there, it starts really rolling and it's the worst part. Yeah. Yeah. The mech effect is crazy. Oh, okay. He's normal summoning. Uh, I have a feeling you're going to go for that same play as last time. I'm going to throw out my other maxi. Uh, no, actually different. Okay. Does it involve a special summon? Are you going to attack it to me? Oh, he's attacking. All right. Uh, I respected. Okay. Um, you got to do what you got to do. No, I did that. I did that wrong. I did that wrong. Shoot. I did that way wrong. I don't know what you're doing. I'm so confused.  Yeah. That's, that's true. I could do that and I will, I will do that. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. All right. That heavily screws me. I think, yeah, that's game. It depends.  No, I told you. What? Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. It could be mirror force. It could be mirror force. Okay. Just you definitely have. Hey, hey, just pretend it's mirror force. Okay. I activate my heartbeats feather duster. Okay. What actually was it? Oh, return of the dragon lords. No, I, I, I classic blue eyes hand. Okay. Well, you know what this is perfect for? Since it is blue eyes versus dark magician. I could finish you off with the dark magician. Direct attack. Perfect. You want to know, you want to know what I was getting ready to do had you not banished me in the beginning or negated it. Probably beat me or something.  Yeah. Yeah. That would have been terrible. That one play, that one play was by far the best move in the entire duel. Also, you're going to be posting a couple of duels on your channel later, probably later than I post mine. So if you guys are watching this video, go check out rhyme styles channel.

Hey, welcome back folks. I have a wild one for you today from Libs of Tiktok.  Words just don't do this one justice.  Just try not to look directly into the eyes. We're gonna get it soon! Together when it's done. Thus. Friday then. Well, the little nightmare fuel for you there.


This is the stunning bronze Hand of God sculpture, found at the Roman Fort of Vindalanda just south of Hadrian's Wall. The hand is thought to come from a temple dedicated to Jupiter, Dolachenas, a Roman god who became the centre of a mystery cult in the Roman Empire. This cult was closed to outsiders and followers had to undergo rites of initiation before they could be accepted as devotees, with this secrecy meaning that Lutter was known about the cult even to today.

I'm Greg Pollen, CEO of Northern Health, the largest health service provider in Northern Melbourne. Here we go. I'm quite passionate about workplace safety. So Northern has a very interactive way of dealing with workplace safety. We like to teach, we like to learn from people as well. I think I'll learn things as a researcher that I would never learn as a CEO. It's a bit daunting to me, I must admit. But sometimes I feel as though stuck in the corporate office. I'm a bit isolated in an Ivory Tower. So what I hope to do is to get down on the work floor and find out what actually goes on and what can be improved. I'm sure there are practices and processes in place at the moment that can be tweaked to make it safer for staff. I just want to introduce you to Graeme Hart. He's the research tuner. Nice to meet you. Just show basically Graeme how you go about doing all your day-to-day activities, mate. We usually just mop the floors. We just make sure there's a sign around saying people can't slip. Yes. Slip over. And is it normally a problem with wet floors? Is it like slippery? It does get slippery. That's why we put the signs up. Yep. We usually wring it out as much as we can. Yep. The mop. But the nurses usually know that we do it this time in the morning. There's signs up. Yes. So they know. So you can see how many nurses are flying through and this is still actually, this is an hour. Yes. After we're normally finished with this room by now. But yeah, normally this is wet in the morning. Because they've mopped it. It really lasts like five or so minutes. But generally that's the busiest part of the day for that room. But I don't know what to say. No. Schedule is. So maybe there's a reason why they have to do it at that time. And there might not be a reason. It might just be tradition. Yeah, that's it. That's how we start our day. I don't know. But yeah, I don't see why we can't do it.  How long have you been here, Michael? Northern? I would have been here 15 years. Is that right? Yeah. And do you enjoy working here? I do enjoy working here. So if we're going to, you know, go to management and say, listen, we've been working with staff and seeing what they're doing. And we think this should happen to make their life easier. Can you think of any one thing we could tell them or probably just maintaining the equipment? Maintaining the equipment. Like the hoist. Sometimes we get a lot of remote controls. We grab them, try to use the hoist in the roof. Doesn't work. And what happens when it breaks down? What do you do? Well, there's an emergency thing that you can try and fiddle with and try and click it on. But if that's not working, it's really, really unhappy. Then you have to go and get the manual on. We've had some issues with our emotes. Our emotes have stopped working. And that took a while to replace. You're always a bit further away from everything when you're down the back, so... How much walking do you think you'd do over? Have you ever used a thermometer and measured how much you did? I did. I'm in my graduate. My first 10 weeks as a grad, I lost 7 kilos because all I was doing was walking. That's awesome. Yeah, you should just be a nurse. And I walked 22 kilometres in a shift. 22 kilometres? That's further than someone runs in a day and playing football. It hurt a lot. And if you're walking 22 kilometres a day, what footwear do you wear? Is there a more appropriate footwear to wear? Can you wear runners? They don't really like you wearing runners. Right. But you're supposed to wear hard top shoes. When I try to buy the right ones with the nice arches and all that sort of stuff, half the time they're so uncomfortable they give you blisters and you can't afford to have blisters in the shop. You have to have comfy shoes at all times. I just need to go up a little bit higher just for you to take your tablets.  It's a bit like coming back from overseas. You're sort of in a different time zone, aren't you, when you shift between shifts? Yeah, pretty much. So how do you cope with that? There was once where I fell asleep when I was walking to my patient's room as I was walking. Good display. Because I was so tired and that was during my 10 in a row. But, yeah, I had to work 10 shifts in a row and it just kills you. And you just see you're doing late early, so you're getting, because I live about an hour away, I wouldn't get home to about midnight and then you get up at four to go again. And you'll sit down when you can. You'll just, whatever's easiest, just to get the patient where you need them and how you need to do it. So you just shortcut, shortcut, shortcut, just to survive. So we just grab the coyly. The coyly shape? You know, you're not doing anything special with your knees or anything like that? Well, bending's always good and trying to take the pressure off your back.  All right. Okay. One, two, three. And have you had any injuries in your work life so far that's required you taking time off? Touch word, no. No, not me. But I think if you ask every other nurse here, yes, they have. They're all lifting type injuries, are they? Yeah, all back injuries, pretty much, yes. And do you think your good luck may be something to do with the overhead lifting and the mechanical devices? I think I've just been lucky and probably going on borrowed time at the moment, I would imagine. Goodness. Thank you very much. So what's the most rewarding thing about your job, Kate? Patience satisfaction, I'd say. You tend to think that you've done a bit of a difference to someone's life. That's always probably the best bit. I think that's why you get out of bed. Can you see yourself being a nurse when you're, say, 60? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I just wanted to be a nurse since I was three, so this is the only job for me, unless I get injured. But, um, yeah, no, this is... Hopefully you won't. Yeah, no, I love it. So, yeah, no other job in the world for me. Well, you're obviously a very caring person and you're in the right job, really. I mean, it is known as the caring profession, and you've shown today how much you care about the work you do and how you care about your patients. So that's a real credit to you. I was impressed, genuinely impressed by Kate and Michael and their dedication to their profession and also to this organisation. I think they're great attributes and great examples of what, you know, professional staff in a public health service can actually represent. Hospitals are very busy places. Some things are done for historical reasons rather than because that's the best way of doing things. I learnt as a CEO that I can learn a lot about the organisation from working on the shop floor, going out and visiting, rather than just sitting at my desk and going to meetings and answering the telephone. I picked up on a few things that I'm sure will help the organisation and I think will help staff morale.  From my perspective, getting out there and listening to you telling quite truthfully what happens has been a revelation. It's good to see that you've come down from the office and there are a lot of people who sit up here. Well, it's... I feel a bit embarrassed I'm not going to be there more often.
