pleased to welcome here, Hadir Shwetala and Aira Gooding, who will be presenting the title, Open Licensing Improves Institutional Responsiveness and Reduces Administrative Verdant During Emergencies. Thank you. Thank you very much. So it's terrific to be here today. My name's Ira Gooding. I serve as Assistant Director for Open and Inclusive Learning in the Center for Teaching and Learning at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. And I'm joined today by instructional designer, Hadir Shwetala, also of the Center. And we're both part of a small team within the Center that focuses on open education and inclusive teaching practices. And we're gonna be telling you a tale of two courses today in order to illustrate how open practices can improve institutional responsiveness and reduce administrative burden when responding to emergencies. And so I wanna say up front that these are admittedly anecdotes, but our hope is that these stories and others you hear today might be shared so that they can help bolster the case for open licensing in your home institutions. So to that end, we have two primary objectives. First, we hope that you'll reflect on your own experiences and tell us your own stories about how open practices have reduced that kind of burden at your institutions. And we have one story to tell, but I'm sure that there are others in this room and among our online audience. And second, we hope that the story we're about to tell it can be useful to you. I know we all encounter skepticism from time to time within our institutions about why we shouldn't do open educational resources. And we find it's helpful to be armed with stories that we can tell to respond to that skepticism. And so I, first of all, feel free to move in closer. I know there's been some adjustments, but I would like to start out to tie into the braiding theme of the conference into today's presentation because I think it helps us emphasize our objectives with this presentation. So I'm a rock climber, and in this picture, you can see a pile of tangled climbing ropes. I can't use this pile of ropes the way it is because it would prevent me from ascending and descending the rocks safely. So having untangled ropes is crucial for my safety. Now, you're probably wondering, how does this relate to braiding? Well, imagine I'm trying to braid these tangled ropes. Would it work? And I'm looking, go ahead, shout out an answer. Would it work to braid this pile of tangled ropes? Not great. What would I need to do first before braiding them? Untangle them? What if I've never braided anything before? Would it work? I could muddle through. Yeah, but it'd probably be more efficient and better if I were able to practice. So these ways of preparing for the process of braiding also relate to the process of creating openly licensed content to reduce administrative burden during emergencies. So by preparing, it allows us to be proactive and organized versus being reactive and chaotic. And learning and practicing these skills will make us more effective. And just in general, being organized will result, the end result is a braid that is planned and a better final product than the braid that was not planned. And so the same may be true for openly licensed courses. And I just know for a fact, having created this picture, that I would not have been able to successfully braid these without untangling them first. I made quite a mess. So I'd like to ask you another question and I know we're really spread out, so feel free to shout out. In order to make open educational content, what extra steps need to happen? Any thoughts? How much extra work would you have to do or what additional tasks would need to happen? Pulling together the stakeholders, getting people involved, yeah. And that can take a little while. Can't do that instantly. Any other thoughts? Yeah, getting all those same people at the table to make that decision, even if you've collected them to all have them to come to the same conclusion of what kind of license to apply, for example. And one other thing that didn't get mentioned, but for the sake of time I'll move forward, making just in general, finding the content can take longer, openly licensed content to create more openly licensed content isn't quite as quick and easy as something that might be copyrighted. Thanks, Heather. So those are all good answers and we know that making open educational content, it typically requires more work than content that isn't open. And in our center it increases our workload by about 60% we've found. When we're making a course that's not openly licensed, it's a lot easier, it's a lot quicker. But we think that the extra effort is worth it and I suspect if you're here today you probably agree. And so we're gonna tell you two stories to illustrate one reason why we think that open licensing is worth it. So in our tale of two courses, the first course we'll talk about is psychological first aid. Did I go too quickly? Yeah, I did. Okay. Psychological first aid is a training course we developed in 2013 and it's intended to prepare responders to render first line care and support during emergencies. It's composed of didactic lessons, simulated vignettes and assessments and it's all delivered asynchronously and is publicly available as a MOOC on Coursera. Notably however, it is not openly licensed. It does not have any creative comments licensing of any kind. So now I wanna pause for a moment and point out that I'm not making any value judgments about that decision to not put an open license on this content. As you all know, lots of factors go into making that decision and those factors were weighed by the team behind the course, the instructors, the funders of the project and that decision was made. And I don't really wanna focus on whether that was the right decision or wrong decision. I just wanna focus in on what the downstream consequences of that decision are, specifically the downstream consequences when responding to emergencies. So sometimes we see surges of interest in the course, the psychological first aid that correspond with emergencies that happen around the world. Those could be natural disasters, mass casualty events and armed conflicts. We see those surges in terms of activity on the discussion forum and help requests from learners and we frequently see it in the usage data that we have access to on Coursera. So you can see here a curve of monthly active users in psychological first aid from March of 2021 through last month. And you can see these surges in activity and there are certainly way more emergencies in the world than these four but there are notable surges of activity in this particular course and they do line up with emergency events that happen in the world. The Israel-Palestine crisis in 2021, withdrawal from Afghanistan, you can see the Russian invasion of Ukraine and sadly to say this chart doesn't reflect it but I did check on the course this morning and we have seen a notable increase in demand over the past week since the events in Israel. So these emergencies frequently generate additional activity through the course discussion forums and flagged issues within the course platform but we also hear directly from organizations requesting permission to reuse the content for the specific populations that they are serving in the case of an emergency. And the things they're looking to do are the typical activities we talk about here when we talk about derivative works. They're looking to do translations, localizations of the content, adjusting it to serve a different population. There may be sometimes looking for a modality change from an asynchronous online course to something to a synchronous session or even an in-person session. And those requests come from government agencies, they're coming from nonprofits and regardless of those requests, they generate work for us because the course is not openly licensed. We have to answer phone calls, we have to answer emails, we have to have meetings and that requires effort. And we're happy to undertake that effort but it would be a whole lot easier if we were able to say, sure, go ahead, use the course, there are the terms, follow them. So we can take a closer look at a recent example to illustrate shortly after the invasion of Ukraine, the course instructor forwarded a request to me. He received it from an organization that wanted to translate into Ukrainian in order to train responders to render aid to citizens and soldiers who are experiencing traumatic events. The instructor said, let's do this. He was supportive, the institution was supportive, I was supportive, we were all eager to help but good intentions only go so far. Because the course isn't openly licensed, there were all sorts of questions, there are all sorts of questions that emerge in that process of trying to be supportive. What are the conditions of that use? What about attribution? What about commercial uses? What about access to translated content? Of course, all these questions would have been immediately answerable under an open license but we couldn't rely on that because that wasn't the choice that the team made. So all of this amounts to additional administrative burden. In this particular case, there were 10 different email exchanges, there were a couple of Zoom meetings, we had one Vice Dean level meeting to talk about it. The total staff time devoted to just responding to this one particular request ended up totally in somewhere in the neighborhood of about seven hours of staff effort. Now, that doesn't seem like very much in the face of the events in Ukraine and people were suffering and we wanted to help. However, we hadn't planned for this work, other work had to be set aside so we could respond to the request and we had to chase people down for meetings and we had to find convenient time for people to meet, we had to read and respond to emails. In short, it was time consuming and disruptive and it meant that we didn't respond as quickly as we could have. It took us three weeks to formulate an answer to the request. If the course had been openly licensed, we would have been able to answer them instantaneously and authoritatively and they would have been able to proceed with confidence. They might not have contacted us all at all. We hoped that they wouldn't, they would just go ahead and use it. And that's just one example. We've had many others over the years, the earthquake in Turkey, floods in Pakistan, conflict in Sudan and Tunisia. These happen with some level of frequency and it would be terrific if we could respond quickly and decisively by relying on an open license. But that's not the case here. So each one of these requests generates extra burden in varying degrees, email work, clerical work, phone call, Zoom meetings, legal and all while the emergency conditions still persist on the ground, making our response and our ability to support people less effective overall. So by contrast, we have the COVID-19 contact tracing course. This course is when we help our faculty create in May, 2020 in response to the COVID pandemic and the goal being to train future contact tracers on how to stop the spread of infection by identifying who had been in contact with cases of COVID-19 and asking them to isolate and quarantine. And you may all have heard about contact tracing in the beginning of the pandemic. So this course was designed to quickly prepare large numbers of folks to become contact tracers. It was offered as a MOOC on Coursera. And although we created this course in response to an emergency, we did create it with an open license from the outset in anticipation of future emergencies, which we'll see more here, if I can get it going to the next slide. So this graph shows the monthly active learners in the original version of the Coursera course. In this one, there's three major peaks of active learner use. And so these represent the three major variant surges of the COVID pandemic after the initial emergency had kind of started to survive. So we've got the first Delta surge, the second Delta variant surge, and then the Omicron variant surge. As we see in our other courses that don't have an open license, as Ira has described, these are the types of moments where we might get many other requests for reuse of the content. But we didn't have to have a huge influx of those requests. So to prepare this course to be easily reused when an emergency occurs, we gave the course the Creative Commons license. And we also compiled the course components into a zip file, which included the videos, the PDFs, and slide decks. Because the course was being used as a certification for employment in some jurisdictions, notably New York State. We didn't include the summative assessment because we wanted to maintain the integrity of that assessment. But all the rest of these files, we uploaded directly into the course so that the whole zip file was there for anybody who wanted to use it, and they didn't have to contact us to get ahold of that. So while we did receive lots of requests for reusing this content, we were able to easily accommodate them by just directing folks to that zip file that was hosted on Coursera. So five seconds to send that though, I don't know, a minute to write that email and say, here's where that link is. As with the psychological first aid course, reuses included complete translations and adaptations to make the content culturally relevant among many other adaptations. Most, many of which we may not even be aware of because they didn't have to contact us. On top of the reuses that we knew about because of the receiving the requests, there were plenty of reuses such as from the University of Geneva where they translated, adapted and modified the content for use in Francophone countries. We learned about the existence of that course just by stumbling upon it during our routine work on Coursera. So this course was created with absolutely no need for us to do anything extra. So here's an example of the content in reuse from the University of Geneva course. So on the left, you'll see content, a slide from our original course. And on the right, you can see the slide from the French version of the course. It's pretty obvious that that diagram is the same from both. And this image is one we created, our team created specifically for this contact tracing course when we gave it a Creative Commons license to that specific image. But what you'll also, if you don't speak French, you may not notice, but the French version of the slide is a fairly direct translation of the original slide. So the whole thing is just repurposed for their context. And the course itself largely follows the original course, but they do add in a few more pieces to make it relevant to their context and their purposes. So, hand it over to Ayala. Oh, sure. I forgot what our plan was for this part, so I'll just, I'll just wait. So just to recap and compare the two stories. The course that was not open had an extended response time, approximately two to three weeks, and the administrative burden in the form of correspondence, meeting, consultations, phone calls, and documentation. And it's not just about the amount of time, it's about the quality of that work. As Heather mentioned earlier, when she was looking at her ropes and figuring out how to untangle them, this was work that was unplanned. It was reactive. We were reacting to responses instead of being proactive. And the response was chaotic. We had to set things aside and chase people down, get on their calendar, and try to arrive at decisions. As our audience participant mentioned, getting all those people at the table together took some time.  Yeah, and I'll do the next part. So by contrast, the open license of the contact tracing course allowed us to have an immediate response time. So if someone hadn't come across the zip file and the Creative Commons license already on their own, if they did show task us to reuse the content, we could just direct them to that zip file, rather than having to take the time to pull all those resources together or find the exact item they were asking for. So we didn't have to interrupt our workflow beyond writing that brief one to five minute email. And then to also be able to outsource some of the digging to find that exact file they were looking for by saying, look in the zip file. So just to summarize, as a result, there's little or no additional administrative burden at the time of the emergency itself. Of course, in advance, we had to go through the process of selecting the openly licensed materials, and then we also had to go through the process of compiling that content in the zip file and then recompiling it after the course had gone through several updates to reflect the changes of the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, as Ira mentioned, this led to about 60% more effort on our part on the front end, compared to creating the content that isn't open. However, that effort was planned, it was proactive, and it was systematic. It had to only happen once, and it happened in a timeframe that fit into our workflow. So now you got a preview. Another discussion that I know we're pretty spread out here, but this is, I want to invite you to share your stories and examples. I mean, we focused on emergency scenarios, but any kind of example of the difficulty of sharing not openly licensed content or a counter example, I guess, potentially, of sharing how it caused more problems to openly license the content, we'd be interested to hearing any of your stories of a time when not having an open license caused problems for you. Anyone is welcome to share their thoughts. Also accept questions at this time. Yes. So to summarize, because I know we don't have mics for the people who are online. What's that? Just to summarize, just in case. There's mics. Oh, I see, the light's very bright, I can't see. If you'd like. It's a good story, so yes. I teach at Quantland Polytechnic University in BC, and we have a really high percentage of international students from the Punjab region of India, and often times their semester will start, and students aren't able to have their visa applications or paperwork ready, and they arrive kind of the end of week three, and feeling quite lost, right? So now that I've got this open ed resource that I use for my intro to Criminology textbook, which is a course, sorry, which is kind of the first, a course they've taken their very first semester when they first arrived in the country, they're able to access that online right away, whereas the textbook that I used previously, there's no way they would be able to get a hard copy of that in time, so that's just one example of how it's been extremely helpful with international students. Yeah, it sounds like it, especially with inclusion and equity for those folks as well, excellent. Can I just jump in on that? And I would also, also one advantage of an open educational resource in that, in settings like that, when we're talking about diversity and equity is that the ability to modify those materials sort of on the fly, if the population of your course somehow changes, or you've got a special need that requires sort of a different perspective, it's a lot easier to adapt that open educational resource and sort of make it fit with the population we're serving, whether that's an emergency or something we're expecting, and just that flexibility makes a huge difference. Yeah, so that's one, so our center is the Center for Teaching and Learning at the School of Public Health, and so most of our work is for our four credit programs, and so that work is not necessarily open, right? And so we make lots and lots and lots of content. We record lectures and do technical writing, also illustration, videography, all of that sort of thing. When we're not having to make something that's going to be open, it's easier. You don't have to go through all that additional work. When we say, okay, this is going to be an open educational resource, it's gonna have a Creative Commons license, there's more effort that we have to go through in order to make sure that say the slides that a guest speaker has provided don't include copyright protected content, or that we have to get together with people and decide on what that license is gonna be. Is this lecture gonna be licensed slightly differently from this one? Derivatives or no derivatives? Commercial or non-commercial? So just looking at, we log our time using project management software, so we're able to go in and look at the amount of time and effort that's put into not open versus open, and that's what we're finding. Now, that's an average. There are some that are a lot more difficult or a lot easier, but on average, it does amount to a considerably more work for us. Yeah, I suppose that would be part of it, but picking the license, although it is extra work, is not the biggest part. I would say the biggest part is that when an instructor comes to us and is ready to record their lecture, and they've got their slides, and they put in a bunch of stuff from journal articles that aren't open, and then we've got to correct for that, and that's probably the most time-consuming part of all of it. And just to dovetail onto that, let's say everything was given a Creative Commons license, and the same Creative Commons license, all of our SMEs, all of our faculty would be well-versed in how to create that content, and there wouldn't be quite as much of a learning curve. So the courses where we have somebody who's never worked on an openly-licensed course before is a lot more work to create that content than if we work with them again on another course, and they're much better at it the second time around, or even the second slide deck around, for example. So there's that learning curve. So the more we do it, the better and more quickly it goes. But yeah, so yes, it would probably be more efficient if we had the same license on everything all of the time, but I think the point more is just like openly-licensed content does take a little bit more intentionality in creating it in the upfront. Excellent. We've got a touch more time. Any other questions or any more examples or counter examples from your own contexts? Are we able to get questions from online or is it just like a live stream? Okay, just a live stream. Did you have one? Yeah, the microphones are back in the corners. I just wonder if first there were complaints about this new way of disseminating the course, and if then on the contrary, what we hope, and then those people were the most convinced one. What feedback did you have from the creator or the others? I think that's a good one for you to answer. Yes, it took convincing, and it still takes convincing sometimes. So there are challenges that come with it, but we've been able to demonstrate over time through anecdotes like the ones we just told that there is some real value in doing it this way because of the outcomes that you can have on the backend. Do you give them feedbacks of the reuse of the courses? I mean, I guess the other feel better when they know it has been really useful in crisis context, you see, and it's a way of recognition. It's where I work a lot on these subjects, how to recognize the contributor for open educational resources, and the first thing is human that they're here, they have a feedback on the reuse, the successful reuse of their work. Yeah, that's a really good point, and we do sometimes share that when something comes up, but we're not very systematic about it, and so that's a good suggestion that we actually be intentional and systematic about gathering that information and sharing it back to our subject matter experts. I work like Rory before, I work on this blockchain technology and therefore I came to open badges and recognition, and I really think there is something really strong for in every human that statistics or show people that they were useful is very important for their future contribution, which are harder, as you said. Yeah, it's a terrific point, and one of the challenges with open education is that frequently we don't know about the reuses because people don't have to tell us, but when we do learn about them, it's good to take note of them and share them to give that positive reinforcement, I completely agree. Looks like we are out of time, thank you for the questions. Did you have a quick wrap up? Yeah, I'll just wrap up very quickly to tie us back to our braiding theme, puns sort of intended. So it's been a delight to engage with you all today, thank you for sharing your thoughts and questions, to close, here you can see the resolution of that tangled climbing rope successfully braided. So I applied the best practices to creating open content to the process of braiding these ropes. I planned for the braiding process by proactively untangling all the ropes, and I've drawn upon my many years of practice braiding as a person with long hair. This proactive preparation allowed me to systematically and intentionally complete my braid. Similarly, when we proactively create course content with open licenses, we can reduce the administrative burden during emergencies. This allows us to fulfill our school's vision of protecting health and saving lives millions at a time, thank you.


I saw this job description and it was the weirdest kind of mix and hodgepodge of characteristics that I'd ever seen advertised for somebody and I went oh my god this fits me perfectly you know must be able to drive a snow cat box ticked you know must be able to work on a furnace and keep a facility running box tick and so it kind of really intrigued me because it wasn't just putting my scientific skills to use but the entire repertoire that I've built over my entire career and even back into my childhood growing up in Denver Colorado we would get these snowstorms and at the time I remember pretending that I was an Antarctica just you know being out there and enjoying the the winter and doing important research or doing important work you know of course that kind of imparted itself on me and that's why I love working with it now. This lab was part of three labs initially built to study snow science in the western US of those three this is the last one standing really and has been collecting data since 1946. Donner Pass in the area where the lab is located is realistically one of the snowiest places in the continental US. How do these big months that it might be multiple tens of feet 10 20 30 feet really stack up and can I survive them in this kind of remote location and after having the third snowiest month in the labs history back in December of this past year I'm happy to say that I've passed that test. There's that childlike excitement for the storms but it's almost just as exciting to be able to take these measurements and collect this data and make these contributions to science so that we can really get a handle on our water resources and where the planet's going in terms of climate change and planetary changes a whole. In addition to working here I live here at the lab with my wife Megan and our two dogs. You know there there hadn't really been anybody full time at the lab for 18 months so when I first got here there were a lot of roommates that I had and not many that I wanted in the terms of having plenty of spiders and plenty of mice here and plenty of ground squirrels as well but then there was also issues like all the sinks were backed up so that needed to be taken care of. The internet here wasn't even fast enough to send an email at that point so that had to be remedied. So it was a very unique process getting the lab up and going after first being hired and it does feel at home not only for my career but for myself and my free time as well. When I'm able to wake up in the morning after a snowstorm and go out and do my measurements and then come inside it's really kind of nice and it's been great so far just being here secluded in the mountains.


Welcome back to ToffeeTV, road to glory time.  Hopefully win. We're playing Chelsea 96, social distancing, social distancing. Chelsea 96, 06, some tremendous footballers, Vialli, Zola, Robin, the world's greatest footballer, Joe Cole, of course. He can do things messy, can't he? He can do things messy, can't he? Michael Essian, thanks for the advice. Can't rescue. That is the Dennis Wise kit. It is? And Demetreo, who can't get on the side. I think of them. It's mad, isn't it, when you look at both teams, you know, the world of football that we live now, that a car, windscreen replacement firm would be sponsoring a Premier League football club, and thank you, like, photo coffees and stuff. They do a bit like NEC, mate, they both... Interesting, interesting. Both still going strong, I believe. Interesting, I believe anyway. Anyway, let's win it. Let's go and win it. Come on, the Blues, here we go, come on. Waggy. Nigel, man, I'm going conservation, mate. It is conservation, mate. Oh, man. Shoals just there for fun, don't they? Well, social distancing, making sure the crowd... Look at the Artie Bull each in the back, crowd. It's going to inspire us. Let's do it, mate. That Ibra, half back, Lingoff, nice. Chelsea in the corner there. There's your one.  Come on! Let's do it, onto the 4-4-2. 4-4-2. Very much the Carlo, a blue-print, there it is. I mean, that wasn't supposed to go there. OK, OK, go across, you've covered the middle. I've covered it, I've covered it. I mean, I didn't cover it, but you definitely didn't cover it. I said I was covering it. You said I was covering it. You said you were, I mean, that's some sign, just to get there, isn't it? You know, I tried. You put a little badge on me on the fridge. I tried. I started at the better side. We have not got going yet. I can't even say it. Never mind, do it. All right, let's settle. Just got to settle. It's early days for Rusty.  I really had to appreciate it. We've got to get back on it. That's OK, that's OK. It's your warning. What's all the moaning for? The offside. Well, hey, you didn't get it. No, stop moaning. And then you were offside. Just be grateful that wasn't Celestine Baviaro. We played it in.  Ream running's in there. Ream running's in there. Ream running's in there. It'll out to Rooney. Yes! Ha-hoo! Get in. Stevie Pitt. Oh! Well, you know, social distancing. What's your hands? I mean... What? Those hands? I would've thought it'd be bad. You've sprained. Yeah. Spray on me. You've got, like, virtual gloves. And you've got those, like, paper things. Like cling film gloves. More nails. Good move. Yacht move more there than that celebration in the first 20 minutes. Good ball, the ball. That is the ball. Peanut. That's where you drew this I.A. Cross through the legs. It's a beautiful finish. Pet rescue. There's no in here. Throw them on BG, that's what I was doing. Fully, Julian Anderson. Have you watched X-Education? I have not, no, but... Honestly, it's dead funny, mate, honestly. That's just it, she gets. Quite a lot of going in there. All right, let's focus again on forget about Julian Anderson. Can Chelsea's look for the yacht? Oh, sorry, I should have been there. Yeah, he's getting involved for... He's just being a lair, and now... Well, it's something that rounds with a lair. Yeah, exactly, and that...  You're in! You're in! Still safe. Oh, Coo the Cheney. Great ball. Oh, he was in. Great ball. He's been like the fluker. Look at that. Oh, he done everything right. Waited. Oh, he done everything right. That's right. Keeper went down. Did he do everything right? Jilly and Anderson. Go, hey! Whoa-ho! I'm not batting that again. Looking around again.  Yes! Oh! That was an unbelievable jump. Unbelievable, you know. Tight. They're killing Anderson. Hey! Whoa-ho!  Oh, he's pinched it.  Shhh! He had to wait. He steadied himself. He did steadied himself. I like the old chush. You put the pressure on them. You're in. I can see them in. Oh, that's right. Great play from our tether. He carried on one of them. You keeper steadied. Oh, he just waited. He went down. Oh, he just waited. I mean, I tell you what, if he wouldn't have scored, our tether would have had his guts for Garas, mate. He'd have gone full, half-shoot, or Cabo. Kella! There's the break. Oh, it's Cabo, mate! And he went, waited for Cougar to go down and just played it under him. That is classic for you, Cougar. Although this is the most dangerous lead for us. It is the most dangerous. It's proven it's a dangerous lead. In football, for us, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's like setting a house on fire and trying to put it out there. That's our thing. God, better! Our tether. We were hungry, yeah. Like the wolf. Very much so. Put your hands, your hands, Shred. Hungry like the wolf. I'm laughing at them. I'm butting them down. Nuno Valente! Rude! Oh! Oh, my word! Nuno Valente! My word! Nuno. Nuno. Nuno. Nuno. He's coming to the end of the tether. I said 40. He'd come from the Sunday League. 47. Pull it back. Oh, my goodness. Oh, he's got it up. He's got time to stay on site. There's options. One of them. There's one, there's one! Sorry, 20! I had two. I had two. I should have done better. Yes! Good off! Good off! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Two up. Let's not make this... Joe Cole again doing things. He's messing it up. Great touch. Oh, Blake. Peanut. Peanut.  Nuno! Nuno in. Ah! Perfect. He's cut him in. There's options. One of them is unbelievable. Yakuza! Oh! They're almost came to speed. End of... Don't pop it, Miquel. Oh! Miquel. Miquel. Miquel. Right. Him and Galli's speed are proving to be... Go part in the top part. There's no retreating. There's got to be retreating. Nuno. What? Peanut. What? Peanut. What? You've done them from behind. Yeah, they just stay on your feet, lad. Oh, it's a penalty. I'm sorry. That booking will be followed by an automatic one-game man. It's Miquel. I reckon he's going bottom, mate. Come on. He's all left. Yes! Great save. Peanut. The chance of people stepping over and no-one is there. Oh, that's terrible. That is terrible. What have you done? Get, get, get. Good tackle. Put your foot through it. Yes. Peanut, come on, lad. Get your head in again. Peanut has had a mad few minutes. That's good, though. Stop and go. Peanut's going to stay on the shoulder. Go on, Stevie. Go on. Just keep holding. Don't put it in. Don't put it in. Into your cupid's man behind you. Two. Oh! Go on. Put it in. Peanut in love, Mooney. Oh! Yes! Drop down. Well, come on. Come on. 3-0. Let's watch it. Second of the day. Come on. Peanut, another assist. Oh. Look at this. Good ball. Your cube has done well. Done really well. All right. Peanut, into the danger zone. Rooney reacted beautifully. Beautiful. Absolutely. Harlow Curicini almost joined Everton in the summer of 2005. Everton, Mooney, go on to him. Chelsea wouldn't let him go. But he's a good goalie for Everton. He's a good keeper. He's a good goalie. He's a good keeper. Then Everton have a really good lead. He's a good keeper. And they are r�tsing out of sight. The show's it. I don't know what it shows you. It shows you who you nearly got. Here. Almost nearly got Scott Parker as well in the summer. That's beautiful. Cover in the middle. Trying to cover in the middle. No one's going out to him. And that's a well closed down. Well closed down. Imagine that. Nothing's silly. And here's the chance to counter. This is not over for us. Normal teams. We're just engaging. This is a win for us. Yes. What a tackle. What a tackle. Oh, UHT. Sees the run of Kinshelskas. And picks out the run of Kinshelskas. What a pass. Yikubu arriving. Is it more? Yes. That's a home ball. It's another. Oh, yes. 4-0 to a piece for the Yakinrooni. Penals ball. Kinshelskas. Boom. Four zip. No social distancing there. Nope. But it's 4-0. Juicers everywhere. We have a wallop. Look at this for a ball by Kinshelskas. And Yikubu. Look at the ground he makes up. And it's a great ball. And Kinshelskas. Everyone going the other way. Back where they come from. Ever. Four. Kinshelskas. Beautiful. Beautiful. 10 minutes. Now I can start to think we might hang on for a win. Only now. And suddenly. Penal's pinched it. Has he... I mean, he's had one minute. Yes! A great win. That is a win and a half. That is unbelievable. That's beautiful. Unbelievable for us. That is unbelievable. You never, ever, ever perform like that. You know, well, we never keep a clean sheet. And we've kept out. And it's a 4-4 to. Maybe that's where we've been going wrong. We were seduced by 4-3 for something. Right, Sheffield wins the away. We've brought in. And the Inchcliff. Conservation, because New York had a really good game at left back. But we've brought him in. And it's mainly because Penal's gone out the team because he's suspended and Beazley's come into the team. So we need that extra little bit of something. And the left foot of Sheppley. Maybe. And we went to Instagram to choose the kits. We did. Both. There was an Instagram vote. And we've chosen the pink kit. Apparently that's a thing. That's a thing. It is. So let's go. Come on. Classic. Classic. Classic. Oh. There's Walker. He's up for it. He's in. And guards aren't missing a mosaic. You know though, they're up for it. Because we've just beat Chelsea 4-0. We were very, very good in that one. And we know they're going to have to be at the top of the game. I think we're going to play some of our games together as a result. You're right. But you're absolutely right. But I'm confident. No pain at all. That is a big blow.  He's in second. But we've got Beazley. Beazley's amazing. He's in second. Great. We're going to be men back. The treats. Always the treats. There. Drop that. If you play deep like that. Play deep. He's got great stuff by the end here. Come on, roll it. Oh, man, that's a bad one. Not a great ball. It wasn't, but he wasn't. Not a great ball. Trying to get the jack away. Come on. Get better. Pressing. Pressing from the front. Yes. Well done, Snob. It was an ambassadorial attack. It was. It was. Looks like it has to be. Hello. Hello. Don't you say it's good to be, Jack? Well done. This time. It's beautiful. It's a very bitty game.  Go on. C.J. Kubo. Trying to stay onside. He's still there. Oh. Oh. C.J. Kubo. I mean, speed like that. There was a great strike in the end. Tell you what. I thought you were going to go straight. He just wants someone to run. Run, run.  Boom. Matt and Alex is pulling off. I say that, and of course, Matt and Alex. Come on, Steve. Oh, Tete, Tete's going to go up flat and so on. That's C.J. Kubo. C.J. Kubo's going to win. Go on. Takes it, that's real chance. Yes! Get in! Peter Beardley. Peter Beardley comes into the side and scores immediately. Cheney, Cheney, Cheney. The chance to hit it, like, has smashed it into a bottom corner in, you know, great strike one-nil. It hasn't been much else since I was unemployed. Peter Beardley taking up his own social distancing at the moment. But, evidently, the ball into the penalty area. I think it was, it might have been Andre Kincels just that went for the header. Beardley on the chest and arrowed it beyond Martin Hodge to give evidently one-nil. Sheffield Wednesday. They've not won that. Oh, it's a chance again. Go on. And he's looked for Rooney. You, Kubo. Go on. Into what Beardley ever and they're all over them at the moment. Go on. Ah! That's really early one. Oh! Poor. It was rushed. We've rushed too much here. There was no rush. There was no reason for it. There was no reason. No reason. It's a great tackle. It's a great tackle. What is going on? It had to be done. Don't know why he's given a foul. But we're going to have to watch Palla da Caneau or Chris Waddell nothing-day. Nothing-day. There's your top out there. Nothing-day. Yeah, that's a poor square. He's had a crack. It's too early. Oh! It's too early. It's one more. Then he hits it. I'm on a piece. Chris Waddell. And that was the danger. OK. Never felt hard once again. Oh! That was more of a foul than what has just been given at the other end from which I feel Wednesday scored. OK. Re-focus. The manhandler's in that midfield! Oh, my God! That's me! Everton. All over the place now. All over the place. We're rocking here. What? On air. There's going on. Looked like a corner tonight. It did look like a corner. Well... That's a mark. It's gone long. Yeah, come on. Wins it. Rooney. Go on. Go on! Go on! Oh! Oh, it was a big one. Great ball from Snow. That's what was going out. The QB won the head. That was the most important thing. Great ball by Snow. Beautiful ball. Yeah, won the head. Right, just at this. Never had the height. All right. Better signs. Better signs. Cut to the right. Matt March is going to go long. Goes long. It's a big effort and win. They stand. Compete. It's better. Let's start winning those face balls. The QB fires it off. Nice. Because I off it. Rooney. Oh, it's got there. Probably shouldn't have got there. Oh, it's done. It's done. It's got brilliance. Go on! Oh! Got a cross. Oh! Keep us there. Oh, you... You're panicked. All right. All right. That's the way we've done well to get to our final. Very even game. Very even. So we can't complain.  I mean, it's rush far. No. Ah, bro. Shane. Good treat. And Snowy. And that's brilliant. That is brilliant. Got that. Go on! Brilliant, that's it. Brilliant. Can you? Make the roll. Come on. Go on. Come on. There's the pass. Brilliant from Rooney. Brilliant from Snowden. Break into the box. Keep going with it. Keep going with it. It's all Rooney. Yeah! Yeah! Shannon! Great! Oh, Snowden. It was brilliant. Oh, yes. And yeah, cool. Yes. It was unbelievable. Ian Snowden. With the assist. Look at the staff. You cannot beat. I thought Ian Snowden was that. Oh, yes. And yeah, cool. It was unbelievable. Ian Snowden. With the assist. The last time was that. Sheffield went into the 1-2. Great play from Rooney in Snowden. Rooney bust the gut to get back in Snowden. Brilliantly, Rooney causing problems. It went right to the back. And then Yaqubu on hand to just gobble up the opportunity inside the six-japot. Oh, Rooney's picked it again. It's speed. Yaqubu trying to get close to him. Not sure what he's going to do. He took him on the outside. Floated on him. You don't well really there, probably should have simplified it, but he'd won it so fair enough. It's okay, I've still got to get it through this little tiff. Difficult bit. Oh, here comes Trevor Francis, the first million dollar, million dollar, million pound player. I've lowered his valuation. Oh, shite! Good play. Plot through it.  Oh, no! It was coming. It was coming. We've never got set in this half. That's all.  We ain't had this for us. Come on. And hold it up. Come on, come on. We are all over the place at the moment. And we shouldn't have been. That's where it's coming from. Just giving the ball away in the field. Get over there. There you go, something's up your cube. Nothing is sticking at all. Hold it. This is from now.  Where's the run? Oh, too, too nicely, nicely, I suppose. Oh, shoot.  Look at Dan! What's going on? Ah! What's going on here? Oh, you jammy guess. You can't win if you don't lose it. Go there there, go there there. Go there there, go there there. Oof. I had a win, so he was going to fall back. He fell back onto there. Oh. That's it! That's it, that's it, didn't it? Oh, well, we didn't deserve to win that. No, we didn't deserve to win it. I mean, we've led twice, but we've got ourselves to a point. We're still in session. We've got games behind. I mean, we've won, we've won. Well, I've got more than 23. Six games to play. Oof. Big. 59 is the problem there. Big, big. Six games to go. So make sure you stay with us here on Road to Glory to see the season out. We'll see you later. Ciao.


Hey everybody welcome back to magic orthodoxy my name is David and this is a magic review Hey today, we're gonna look at screen test from Steve dimmer. What is it? It's a mentalist routine that uses a movie postcards movie titles or your specular picks a Random postcard and then you are able to discern which one they picked. You'd like to see what it looks like. This is it Your spectator selects a movie from a bunch of 17 mini movie posters While your head is turned they read out a list of every single movie contained within this pack Now with no peaks and no memory work You can instantly tell them what movie they're thinking of now your pulse is already starting to race. So this is a thriller Yeah, so I want you to try and think about what the movie is about in your mind Just make it up as you go along, but it's Okay, this is a thriller. Can you just visualize the poster that you just looked at just visualize it in your mind This is a lineup, isn't it? Are you thinking of the usual suspect? Now if that wasn't strong enough with my bonus handling you can actually predict a second spectator's movie on Your ringtone in fact, let's try something else as well because remember I popped a card down here Well, we'll try something else this time I'm not gonna ask you to to remove the car, but I want you to see that the cards are all different Okay, we're gonna give them another mix up. So I don't know the order and you don't know the order more important Okay, just touch the back of anyone. Just touch the back of one this one here. Yeah, that's all right So you're not gonna take it out. You're just gonna remember it. Yeah. Do you know what that movie is?  I'm gonna show the camera Okay Now I couldn't have known what movie we're gonna choose there, but remember I said I made a prediction This is something that I believe was gonna happen. Okay, you're thinking of one movie on the card Is a number does that make any sense to you at all? Apart from being a mobile phone number Okay, pick up your phone and Do me a favor just dial this number for me and when you've dialed it just press call Perfect, do you know the thing change to this movie you'll think no, yes, you don't yeah, cool Is that it what you think of the choice? All right, so that was Steve dimmer. You might have also recognized Peter. Nardi He is heavily on this video as well. This is published by Alakazam magic Alright, so a couple questions. We always ask about all of our magic reviews. The first of which is what is in the box? Hey, what's in the box? You're gonna get 17 movie postcards. These are high-quality thick postcards I'm not laminated, but they are done on a very thick stock and you're gonna get a download code to a 50 minute video teaching instruction that includes both Steve dimmer and Peter Nardi You get all of their tips tricks and advice. Is it what I thought at first just reading the ad copy I didn't really know what to expect kind of had maybe some ideas, but didn't know for sure But when I got it, I will say that it is based on very traditional Mentalist work. How are the angles on this? There are zero angles You're totally angle-proof and you're good to go from all directions. Can these cards be inspected?  You don't need to hold them at any time All right, so what's the overall quality and production value of the video? It is one steady shot You do get some live performances that are done in a theater But for the most part it is Peter and Steve sitting at a table discussing the routine since it is a mentalist routine You're not going to need all of the multiple camera angles because there are really slights involved But it is done in HD and it's everything you'd expect from Alec-Azam Magic. Is it well made? Absolutely, like I said the video shot in HD. It's got really good sound The cards themselves are done on really high quality stock and should last you a very long time How much practice does it require? Not much. It is going to take some memory work However, okay, so there is some memory work involved and so I would offer that the more memory work you do the less practice You're going to need But other than that it's just kind of figuring out the routine and how you're going to phrase it all and put It all together. I think though that once you figure out the secret You should be able to do this pretty quickly. How much setup and reset is there? There is none. You get the cards and the cards do all the work You don't have to have them in any particular order So what are the positives to screen test? The positives are I think a lot of the movie titles are very familiar That's nice that you're using posters and titles that I think people will recognize instantly Also, you're going to get lots of extra handlings and some extra input from Peter, Nardi and Steve And so I think that always goes a long way when buying a single marketed effect. All right So what are the negatives like we say around here? There's negatives to everything. These are just the negatives I see for this effect. They don't have to be the negatives that you see There is one title Amongst all of these that I think an American audience will not recognize Alec Azzam is a British company and Steve Dimmer and Peter Nardi are both British as well And so this might play better Overseas, I don't know but there is one title that your American audience won't recognize We're hoping they'll just blow past it and not give it a second thought They'll just look at the title and assume it's some old 1950s movie that they don't recognize But that was just one tiny little negative second negative for me is originally when I got the effect I didn't know how it was done and I didn't watch the video. I didn't watch the download I simply went through the cards Inspected the fronts and backs and within a couple of minutes. I figured out how the trick was done So I figured out how it was done without even watching the explanation So that could be an issue for some people especially trying to pass this by another magician or somebody that has a working knowledge of magic It's not that difficult to figure out and so that was just a little bit of a negative But I do also have the working mind of a magician and the average person doesn't and so who knows Maybe this might blow past a lot of people and and be a really good hit So I do have a tip for taking the heat off of the gimmick. Okay, and so here's my tip Okay, the trick itself is so that you have the card freely selected and then as they read through the titles You're listening to the inflections in their voice and you're able to tell which card is the one they're holding Here's what I would do. I would use the gimmick and learn the title of the holding and then stop the effect and say It's not working. I'm not picking up anything. I don't I don't I don't understand, you know, what's going on? Take the cards back note the top card Cut it to the center and force it with simple riffle force and force the title Then while they're holding their card and not saying anything to you just focusing on the title You reveal mentally Which card they took and then you say now your mind is clear now I know the title to the first card you selected and reveal that one also That way with the second effect you're erasing the process that took place in the first effect You don't want them to backtrack through the trick and then try to discern how you did it So by doing the second trick in a more mentalist type way, even though you're forcing it It shouldn't make it look like a force You're gonna reveal the second title and then that will seem much more magical. That is just my advice for this effect All right, so is it worth your money? It's $46. It's $46 almost 50 bucks For the download and for the cards Is that worth it? It depends I guess on your venue I think if you use this as a stage trick and I think the card size This is how big the cards are so it doesn't really work for a walk-around effect You're not gonna stick these in your back pocket So I think if you're doing this on stage and you're using it as a stage effect in a mentalist routine $46 is right in the pocket. I think it would be well worth it. Who would like this mentalist? Like I said stage mentalists I think that kind of works better for the size of this effect All right, so that is screen test from Steve dimmer and if you'd like to purchase your own you can find it One of your favorite Murphy's Magic suppliers. Thanks. Bye


Now let us look at a slightly different example. Suppose there is one cake and there are two kids and their mother wants to divide the cake in such a way that both these individuals, both these kids, are happy with his or her portion. What do we mean by happy? That they do not envy each other. So one way of defining that is that after the division is done, kid one will think they got at least half of this cake. And the other kid will also think that she also got at least half of that cake. I would like to emphasize that this view that they are getting half of that is according to their own view. And the mother does not know, nobody essentially knows what they actually like. So maybe some of them like the cherry on top, some of them like the chocolate part more than the other parts. And this is completely unknown. If the mother knew everything, every choice or every preference of these individuals, then she could have actually made the division herself and given the pieces to them. Now this at least half as we have mentioned, this notion is subjective. And this is also a private information of each of these kids. Now without this information, if the mother cuts this cake and gives the pieces to each of this child, then there could be a possibility that one child will say that the piece of the other child is actually larger. And that will create a situation of an envy. Now the question that we are going to ask in this context is how can you make or can you at all make this kind of a division to be envy free so that nobody essentially envies each other's pieces? Now this is a kind of a classical problem, very age world problem. And therefore it also has an age world solution. So how does it do? Before that, let's list down the challenges. So the mother wants to achieve what we will call a fair division, fair as in envy free, but it does not have, the mother does not have enough information to do that fair division. In other words, it does not even know that what is a fair division. So how can you still do a fair division without knowing this information? So this is naturally bringing us to the situation of mechanism design. Can she design a mechanism that with this incomplete information the mother can achieve a fair division? And people who had siblings might have come across the situation very often. And here is one solution, one very interesting and quite a well-known solution.  So what the mother says is that it identifies one of this case, let's say kid one to cut the cake, but kid two to choose her favorite piece. So it will not allow the person who is cutting the cake to pick the first piece, the remaining piece will be picked by kid one.  So let us try to understand why this mechanism works. So the first thing is that you would see that kid one when this mechanism is designed and the rules are told to this kids, the kid one will know that it will get the second piece after kid two has picked her piece. So kid one will try to make the division as equal as possible in his view. So his view might be different from the other kid's view, but he will divide it exactly in half according to his view so that he is indifferent between these two things. Because he knows that if he cuts it unequally the other kid might pick the bigger piece and he will be envious. So he will do it in exactly the halfway and he will be happy with any of the pieces that he gets. Kid two will also be happy because he got exactly the first piece to pick. I mean, if in his view, in kid two's view, one of the pieces were larger then she gets to pick that larger one and she will not be envying the piece that kid one gets. So this will solve the problem for both these people. Nobody will envy each other's pieces and that will solve this problem for the mother even without knowing what is a fair division. So isn't that a classic mechanism? So that is exactly what mechanism design is all about. We are going to discuss that and quite naturally it is the inverse of the game theory. We started with an objective to do a fair division and we designed the game and this mechanism is essentially that designed game which gave you the desirable or the reasonable outcome in this case the fair division outcome as the equilibrium and nobody will like to deviate from it. So this is essentially giving you a prescription. So this is why it is called the prescriptive approach mechanism design. Why should we care to design a game in practice? And there are many such examples. So this is certainly a toy example but you can extrapolate that example for various other kind of fair division problems. Just imagine the division of some other resources when there are various other kind of influences or constraints. So one example that I'm going to talk about specifically which really happens in practice is about sports tournaments. So imagine the cricket tournaments or football tournaments, any other kind of sporting tournaments. Typically those tournaments have the teams are being partitioned into different groups and the first round is a round robin where every team in that particular group plays against each other. And then finally the top two qualifies to the next round. Now we are going to ask whether this is a really good tournament design. And I'm going to argue that it is not. And here is one example. Let us go back a little bit. In fact, there are various such examples in the recent past, in particular the 2012 London Olympics in the badminton tournament. Very similar thing had happened. You can search for it. But let me keep my attention focused on this specific example. The World Cup footballer soccer of 1982. So and this happened in group two. So at that point, there were various teams and Austria was one of the very strong teams at that point. It was much stronger, presumably on paper than most of the other teams. And Chile was the weakest team in this group. There was no doubt that Chile has very little chance to qualify to the next round. The only contest is between Algeria and West Germany who are kind of quite close to each other. Now in the first game, some shock happened. I mean, even though West Germany was slightly better than Algeria, Algeria actually beat West Germany in 2-1. This was a shock defeat for West Germany. And that essentially started this whole event of how game theory can come in or mechanism design can come in into this situation. So the rest of the games until the last game was very uneventful. Austria beat Algeria, which was expected. Algeria also beat Chile. So essentially everybody beat Chile. But what happened was Algeria beat Chile but by only a goal difference of one while West Germany beat Chile with a larger goal difference. So in goal difference way, West Germany was ahead of Algeria. Now all that depends is on the last game between West Germany and Austria. So the final game was between Austria and West Germany and almost everybody assumed because Austria is a much stronger team. West Germany has no chance to win against it. So if they draw or even if they lose or make a draw, Algeria is going to qualify. But that is where the whole game theory part started. This essentially West Germany and Austria made a pact for whatever reason. They made a contract that they will essentially get will be losing. So Austria will be losing to West Germany. So in the first 10 minutes of the game, West Germany was very aggressive and scored one goal. And then in the rest of the game, they both these teams just stopped playing. They did not, they were doing some passes around and there were no competition among them. And both the spectator account and all the other documents essentially point to the fact that they decided the outcome. What happens in that case is because Austria has already qualified, it doesn't really matter for them whether they lose or win at the last game. But for West Germany, because of its win, it gets the points which equals Algeria. But because it has a larger goal difference than Algeria, it actually qualifies. So Algeria gets eliminated and West Germany and Austria qualifies. So if you want to dig deeper into it, you can search with disgrace of Gijon. Gijon is the place in Spain where this tournament took place in 1982 and you can get more information. Now, if we have to say what was the reason, it is not about the players, like the teams. In fact, FIFA's final ruling was that none of these teams have actually broken any rule. It was the rule that was imperfect, the mechanism in which these tournaments were designed was imperfect and these teams just took advantage of that. So similar things happened, as I mentioned in 2012 in London Olympics. So the point here that I'm trying to make is that your tournament design should be some sort of truthful in some sense so that none of these teams have any incentive to do such kind of a malpractice in the game. Later on, after this incident, FIFA has changed its tournament design slightly by making the last two matches which are quite a deciding factor among these teams simultaneously. But that also does not completely solve this problem. So you can think of a completely different tournament design as happens in most of the tennis tournaments where it is knockout from the very beginning, but that gives very little chance for anything to come back. So for instance, if there was just due to some other reason, they did not perform well in the first game itself, they have no chance to come back into the tournament. So there is a kind of a disparity and maybe it's a very interesting mechanism design problem, how you can keep both these chances of coming back to the tournament as well as not doing this kind of strategic manipulations. So that is what we will be discussing in the second part of this course in mechanism design. So the broad outline of this course is that first we'll be talking about non-cooperative game theory. That is what I meant by game theory. We'll not be discussing another component aspect of game theory, which is cooperative game theory. And in the second part we'll be discussing in mechanism design in more detail. And that is the focus of this course. The first part is essentially a preparatory phase for the second part. And in between we'll be giving various applications where both this game theory and mechanism design could be useful. So at the end we will be able to apply the principles of economic theory and computation to understand incentives in social systems and that on the internet. And we'll get test for mathematical description of the social problems. And if you are interested, you can also transform this understanding into deployable AI system that does all this decision-making automatically. So this course will be mostly self-contained and we'll share the lecture notes and also these videos will be available. But if you really want to read some of the books and do problems, there is a game theory book by Mashla, Solan and Zameer and a multi-agent systems book by Shoham and Lettendran and several other references which are also given on the course webpage.


Eyes of the hawk, ears of the wolf, strength of the bear, speed of the bull up!  If you're new to this channel, you're welcome.

Airing from September of 1987 to February of 1988 via first-run syndication, Bravestar revolves around the title character Marshall Bravestar, an Indian galactic space marshal who resides on the planet of New Texas, which orbits three suns. Now I know, I know what you're thinking. Why did I call him an Indian and not a Native American? Simply because there is no American in this. In fact, Earth isn't even mentioned. So for the sake of this video, he's an Indian. The idea for Bravestar began with Tex Hex, his main adversary. Tex Hex was created by Filmation's staff artists in 1984 during the development of Filmation's Ghostbusters. Lou Scheimer found the character fascinating and pulled Tex Hex from the Ghostbusters cast. He asked Arthur Nadell, Filmation's vice president for creative affairs and art director John Gruzd to develop a science fiction western around the character. As the concepts took shape, staff writer Bob Forward flushed out the writer's guide and eventually co-wrote the feature film script for Bravestar the Legend with writer Steve Hayes. Marshall Bravestar was voiced by Pat Fraley and is best known for calling upon his spirit animals to perform brief superhuman feats. When he does this, he calls upon the eyes of the hawk to enhance his vision, ears of the wolf to enhance his hearing, speed of the puma to enhance his speed, and strength of the bear to enhance his strength. It's never shown, however, if he can use these enhanced abilities simultaneously, as he generally only ever used them one at a time. The closest he ever came was using them in quick succession, almost like rapid fire. Bravestar was joined by his chief deputy, 3030, voiced by Ed Gilbert, which was a talking horse that could transform his body into more of a humanistic figure at will. His weapon of choice was a large blunderbuss from which he projects directed energy. He called this blunderbuss Sarah Jane. Judge J.B. McBride, who is voiced by Susan Blue, she was the only judge and lawyer in Fort Curiam on New Texas. In battle, she uses an electronic gavel, which she called the Hammer of Justice. This was given to her by the Prairie people. Shaman, also voiced by Ed Gilbert, an otherwise unnamed mystic capable of teleportation, time travel, psychokinesis, and near omniscient clairvoyance. He is Bravestar's mentor and foster father. Bravestar would often telepathically contact Shaman for advice on how to handle certain situations. And Deputy Fuzz, voiced by Charlie Adler, who is a member of the Prairie people, whom Bravestar affectionately called Lil' Partner. Fuzz is typically a character of comic relief, but also plays more serious roles at need, and was the first of the Prairie people to befriend humans. Together, they battle Stampede, voiced by Alan Oppenheimer, the chief villain and ringleader of the Outlaws based at Hexagon. He's a monstrous, partly skeletal broccasaur, and apparently the last of his kind. He seldom appears in battle directly, but is usually the source of his subordinates' evil plans. He is also the arch-nemesis of Bravestar's mentor, Shaman. Tex Hex, voiced by Charlie Adler, is Bravestar's rival, opponent, and counterpart, distinguished by his withered appearance and lavish skin. Considered Stampede's junior partner, Tex Hex originally just called Tex, was a greedy Kyriem prospector who briefly co-owned a Kyriem mind with Angus McBride, JB's father. He crashed a Kyriem overloaded ship while heading home from New Texas and was revived and given a host of magical powers by Stampede. While these are the two main villains in the series, there's just too many subordinates within their gang to properly go through in this video. The people of Shaman and Bravestar's tribe discovered a great power. Unfortunately, the evil Stampede also desired it. Shaman encouraged his people to protect their power plant at all costs, which was a decision he soon came to regret as Stampede soon attacked, devastating the tribe, causing everyone, including a young Bravestar, to fight back. Stampede managed to gain the power he sought, and the tribesmen made ready to flee the planet in totem pole-shaped rocket ships. But the power plant's energy proved even too powerful for Stampede to absorb, and as he expelled it, he destroyed his own horde of bronchosaurs and the entire planet. All but one of the escaping rocket ships also went up in flame, leaving Shaman and Bravestar the last of their tribe. From that moment, Shaman could never forgive himself for what his actions had cost. When their rocket passed through a newly formed set of stars, Bravestar was unexpectedly granted four-spirit animal powers. The series, though short-lived, produced a memorable premise, a toyline, and a direct-to-video movie, which tells the story of the original discovery of Kyrie, and how the galactic martial Bravestar came to battle Tex-Hex and his master Stampede. It also introduces his allies JB, 3030, Deputy Fuzz, and the Shaman. Mattel released an action figure line based on the series in 1986, a year before the series premiered. Each figure had a unique action feature, and was packaged with one or more Kyriem nuggets. Bravestar was produced by Filmation and Group W Productions to be broadcast before Filmation shut down in 1989. Reruns of the show aired on QO Niall from 2010 to 2013, and on the Retro Television Network from 2010 to 2015. Filmation produced 65 episodes of the series, along with a 91-minute direct-to-video movie, Bravestar the Legend, which was released on March 18, 1988. The series nearly produced a spin-off entitled Bravo, however during production, Westinghouse sold Filmation to an investment consortium named Paravision International, led by L'Oreal Cosmetics Company in 1989. Filmation's library is currently owned by Universal Studios, who acquired the property from Dreamworks Animation on August 22, 2016 for $3.8 billion. A Bravestar video game was released for Commodore 64, Amstrad CBC, and ZX Spectrum in 1987, and is a side-scrolling shooter game. In an article by Diane Wagner from the LA Times entitled The $200 Million Man, Marshall Bravestar isn't just a plaything, but a marketing mega-concept, a look at the serious business of toy merchandising. She states, with $15 million worth of toys being produced, the movie and the television show its exposure was expected to earn $200 million or more within two years for Filmation, as of December 21, 1986.

When you align yourself with God, you get this breakthrough in prayer, Holy Spirit kind of touches you and after that nothing changes on the outside yet, but your inside gets filled with peace. And when you get this peace, you can't explain this peace. Nothing happened on the outside that justifies this peace. But this peace gives you this assurance everything is going to be okay.   One of the things that you were trying to really get through, you get that contract or you get the thing, you're like, man, this is a good day, joy. Everything starts with aligning ourselves with God, which brings peace. And then this peace, it attracts joy. It attracts good things into our life. Align yourself with him and be at peace and good will come to you. I want to tell somebody in this place tonight, if you find yourself in a very stressful, difficult situation, get your life aligned with God as soon as possible.  Get all of that aligned with God. When you align yourself with God, it may take a day, it may take a minute, it may take an hour. But you align yourself with God.   You may still have the car that doesn't drive if you don't put gas in it and you don't have money for gas. You will still might have this situation, but when you have peace, something happens.  Can somebody say amen? You know, I have a refrigerator in my house. It's a new refrigerator. It's an awesome refrigerator, but this refrigerator has a very interesting function. When the water that's supposed to come from the refrigerator, when you put a glass and you push the glass toward that little pedal that releases the water and the first time when I saw that happen, you know, I thought I just had a wrong refrigerator. Maybe I do, but I would put a glass in and the water wouldn't go into the glass. It will miss the glass and go outside of the glass. So it would always go on the floor because you have to kind of push the pedal in such a way and churn the glass so that the glass is not inside there. Otherwise, the water is going to go straight on the floor. So all the new visitors who will come into my house and sometimes it's funny to watch them because they don't know that secret. So they grab the glass, they push toward the pedal and all the water gets on them. So I wanted to change that refrigerator, but I just enjoy watching water getting on people. So I'm like, oh, this is not working. But in reality, they have not learned how to align the glass to the flow of water. The water is not going to change. You have to change the way you move the glass. And that's how it is with God. When you come to God, God has His water. His water is called peace. And His peace, He is ready to pour into your heart. But you got to align yourself.  When His peace comes inside of your heart, you are already loaded.  You're walking around and all the good stuff begins to be like magnets drawn to you. Because God's peace makes you a magnet on the inside for good things.

Purchased at the Goodwill for three days. The first big money Bolo. Purchased at the Goodwill for $3.99. Listed it on auction and it didn't sell after a week. So I listed it, buy it now, and took a best offer of $85 the same day. It is a ultra rare Blanco, Blanco, not sure how to say it, double spout pitcher. And this is what it looks like. Okay, here we go. This was an after Christmas Christmas sale. I picked it up for $5 at an estate sale just 10 days before Christmas and priced it at the low end of comps to try to move it before Christmas. Didn't happen. January 8th I received an offer of $25, half my asking. I countered at $45, which was declined. Two days later, Cha-ching, different buyer paid full asking price of $49.99 plus shipping. Mr. Christmas is definitely a Bolo. He is correct. This is the Mr. Christmas Winter Wonderland Eve Express musical train tree working with a video. One of my favorite places to source are those sidewalk sales where everything is free.  I have made literally thousands of dollars selling things people throw away. This DVD set was found curbside among the emptied box and packing materials from an exercise machine. Saved it from the landfill and added $34.99 minus free media mail shipping to the Jerry fund. You got to love it. That's Jersey Shore thrifter eBay store right here. And Jerry, I remember featuring his eBay store back when my Bolo Buddies channel was like, I don't know, and it's infant stages. So Jerry has been around a long time and I always love his story. So Fluidity Fitness, there it is. It's a DVD lot. That's fun. Faraday's Flipper and this is eBay store right there. This is one of many items from my in-laws estate. We are selling everything so we can fund our cross-country move to Seattle late this year. Paid nothing. Sold for asking price of $50. Cross posted from eBay to Mercari and that is where it sold. It is a Chinese red mun shoe. Femil. Long, longevity pattern. Sorry guys. This is what it looks like. All right. I got this Folk Monus Mickey Mouse puppet at the Goodwill Benz on half off day. Plush is 50 cents a bag. I had about 10 plush, so 5 cents each. Sold him for $997. Buy it now. Are you kidding me? Wow. Folk Monus Mickey Mouse Goodwill Benz, 5 cents. Found this guy on Facebook Marketplace for $40 and sold it in less than 24 hours for $400 plus shipping. It is a vintage Jerry Mahoney Paul Winchell's ventriloquist dummy. And they say that they're a Bolo Buddies member also. So I need to look at my memberships and see what's going on. It looks like I've got lots of new members, but it looks like their eBay store is Picker Money Flipper and you can see it right here in the photo. The next one is bought these Blue Willow Bowls for 59 cents each. Plates were 79 cents each at the Goodwill. So about $10 into them all. Had two more. I hadn't listed yet because they were a different brand. Someone I knew locally asked me if they could buy them without the shipping. I even delivered because I was so glad to not have to pack them up. Sold for $76.99 total. I threw in the two extras I had. Sometimes it pays to talk about what we do. He had followed my store after hearing about what I was doing.  They are vintage Churchill England set of seven Blue Willow, cereal bowls and fruit and then the salad plate. Pick this up at a garage sale for $1 sold in three weeks for $99.99. Check it out. It is a porcelain figurine ballerina. Schambach, I may have said that wrong. Koonst, Wallendorf and that last word I'm just going to let you read because I'm not even going to attempt that. So it's a porcelain figurine. This one right here comes from Got Junk in Our Trunk. This is her awesome YouTube channel.  So go show her some love with a sub. She said this set of books was free. Found on the side of the road during a trash dash. I love all these like different names for things. Trash dash. I love it. Makes it sound so sophisticated. Like I was out on my trash dash. Sold for full asking price plus shipping. It is a vintage 1994, the Bible story, a Maxwell complete set. And there you have it. $99.99. Trash dash.  Paid $3 at the Goodwill. It is a peanuts peppermint patty cedar fair exclusive stuffed plush. And it's sold for $45.99. This one here got at the Salvation Army for $4.95 and sold it for $49.99. It is a hard to find Vera tote bag in cozy quilted plaid. Academia. Academia. Am I saying that right? Style. This is what it looks like. And this one comes from Noni's, no, Noni's Treasures. And this is her eBay store, Noni's Treasures. She said, I got this at the Goodwill for $0.99 and it sold overnight for $39.99. It's a vintage Tupperware two cup 16 ounce, 16 ounce measuring pitcher with blue lettering, new old stock. This one comes from Nina's Jewels. And this is her YouTube channel. We purchased this at an estate sale for $25. I always pick it up if it is Bose. We tested it and it worked and it sold for our full asking price of $125. It is a sound system. And this is what it looks like. So definitely sub them up. They are linked down in the description of the video eBay store and YouTube channel. If they have both, otherwise you will just find their eBay store. This one comes from Bolo Buddy's member, Mindful Recycle Terry. She said, I purchased that in a state sale a couple months ago paid $20. Took a best offer of $350. American Girl Samantha 1986. So she is a pleasant company. If you see the ones with pleasant company, those are typically a bigger money Bolo. Paid 10 cents each at a garage sale and sold the following day they were listed. E-caller, ET 300, one half mile remote dog trainer, mini educator, pink collar and purple collar. So $20 all in looks like one person bought both of them for $250. Bam. Yeah, I've sold dog collars before. The electric fence ones, definitely a Bolo. Even if they're used, they can sell for good money. Pretty good sale. Bought a lot of stamps from Donna Telebotelino's auction. Spent $100, I believe. There were 25 to 30 stamps, but I purchased because there were three of these types, bigger house mouse stamps. So I did a calculation. It was about eight in but really more like 30 because I knew the house mouse stamps would be paying for the lot. I had a coupon going on. So buyer asked if I would do these two. eBay was glitching so they just made her a bundle. Okay. So if you don't know, house mouse is definitely a Bolo. Some of them can go for over $100. I have a video on wood rubber mounted stamps that go for big money and house mouse is one of them. She sold these for $56.25. Purchased another vintage Barbie lot for $55. I sold two wigs from 1961 that covered the complete cost of the lot. Long story short, I found this outfit in the tote. This is the third item from it. Bottom line is my investment is nothing any longer on this lot and there's so much more to sell. The above screenshot is proof they bought and paid for it and left amazing feedback for it. This was so exciting. It is the 1967 Francie prom pinks dress Sears exclusive outfit sold for $250 right there. Definitely a Bolo. She is also a Bolo buddies member and her eBay store is Janie Marie 310 and this is what it looks like. She said the dress jacket and shoes sold for full asking price. My research to me where to market this financially and enough to make an offer if they asked the buyer didn't ask for a discount. She left amazing feedback. Yeah, Barbie clothes can be crazy good and you can see she has the item number. It's number 1295. If you can identify what the outfit is and what it's called and put that number in the title that's going to help you sell your item. And plus this had you know the additional accessories with it. So that's fantastic restore habitat for humanity paid a dollar listed on eBay and sold the same day. I'm sorry listed January 17 and sold January 19 for a best offer of $30 and 99 cents. It is the doctor Seuss the Grinch small six inch plush Fred the reindeer stuffed animal from 2018. Now this looks like it was sold in Canada. Okay, this one comes from cat feeling thrifty and she is starting to put content on YouTube. So I'm going to link her YouTube down below and her eBay store. She is fantastic. Definitely check her out. You may have seen her in my recent this is my Bolo where I invite everybody to do a 60 second video of their Bolo. And this was a members video. Sometimes I open it up to everyone but this one happened to be members and she did her first YouTube video 60 second video. So you may have seen her there. This is what she sold purchased at an estate sale paid up at $95 knew it would sell for a lot sold on best offer of $250. It is a Sony radio AM FM. It's like a boombox kind of maybe it's not a boombox. It's a shortwave radio not a boombox. I don't know what I'm talking about tested in works and it's made in Japan. Okay, this one is also from cat feeling thrifty purchased lot of watches for 59 at a local auction. This one item surprise that it worked and what it sold for cha-ching. It's a vintage Hamilton watch military field mechanical manual wind 1979. And my husband probably would have picked that one up. He loves old watches. She sold that for $275. This one is another one from cat feeling thrifty vintage compact lipstick. Trickets by Whistler Miami 50s Pearl Aqua rhinestones knew this is cool purchased at a local estate for $27 sold on best offer for 140 plus shipping. Wow, that is fancy. So it's a compact. Okay, here we go. We got some information here. Hey friends, I found another Bolo. I purchased these very heavy wrought iron fireplace candle holders for the floor for the floor at habitat for myself three years ago. I paid $3 and decided I had personally collected too much stuff. So they needed to go each candle holder weighed 2.58 pounds. I couldn't find great comps anywhere. So I listed them as a buy it now or best offer in the $50 range originally. I got really low ball offers that I did not accept because even though I got them cheap, they had excellent value and quality. And I always say that it doesn't matter what I paid for the item. It's what the item is worth. Okay. So I ended the listing change pictures around and title prior to buying photo room and listed them at 199 and let my sale kick in which brought them down to 143 plus change and buyer to pay shipping within about two weeks. They went for full asking price. So moral of the story, you can increase the price and still sell the item. She went from 50 and increased it to 200 and sold it for 143. That is an awesome story. And that is Janie Marie. I'll pop it up right here. This is her eBay store and it will be linked down below Janie Marie 310. There we go. Oh, right. This one comes from my reseller treasure. This is her YouTube channel. She is not a member, but I'm going to shout her out because she has helped me so much. She is incredible. Brandy has an amazing YouTube channel. If you want to learn about Barbies and toys. Oh my goodness.  I will link her down below. Here is an example of just how knowledgeable she is. It's a super rare hat.
