Hello everyone, thanks for joining our workshop. We are people of skilled It's really privileged to be able to speak at DEF CON and share with you what we're all passionate about Sorry, I'm short of breath. I was just running from bathroom. Anyways, I Think we will give you a little bit of introduction what this is about But pretty much we're gonna have two hours which are gonna be quite Quite easy going we thought of four different workstation that we will split into afterwards but to begin with we'll look into the topic we're actually covering here and We assume all of you are interested in building the talent inside of your organization You're either a DAO operator an educator Leader or someone who's just really passionate about building talent in your org So that instead of always looking for talent from outside You can bring in some people who are maybe not as experienced at what tree or Not at the senior level and you can build them and help them evolve inside of your org becoming much stronger and Happier and successful and also like contributing to your to your projects overall success So to begin with loy. Do you want to continue? Yeah, yeah, I'll give a little bit of like background context to about who we are So I've been doing people operations in the crypto space for about four and a half years And I often felt like an island in my project. There's like nobody else who is working on people issues And it can feel like wow these other people have a different mentality and I just wanted peers, right? So I found out that there were many other little islands and other crypto orgs turns out we're an archipelago of people ops staff in in various entities people with backgrounds in Argonne and get coin and giveth and people currently in pocket and giveth and Chain safe currently in get coin in DX DAO and maker DAO And many more and so we try to bring together the wisdom of what's going on in The realm of like managing people in crypto. It's pretty different, right?  So they don't really align to traditional structures of management And what it takes to build a healthy team and maintain a healthy team is pretty different than in the trad world So that's why we've all come together and we face our problems As they arise we find we're often facing some of the same problems at the same times You know last year we all went through swells in recruitment and trying to stay balanced and how do you do that? Ethically, we've also gone through a lot of themes of compensation as the bear market started to hit how do we build you know ways of Assessing compensation assessing competency that is crypto native But really helps us budget well So we've we've faced many of these themes many of these people problems that the space encounters And today we want to talk about building the builders biddling the biddlers And it's really timely, I think because as we settle into a bear market It's this natural time for Professional development and growth within you're not going to be hiring as many people from external to the crypto space We can't just rely on You know yanking experts from web to anymore those people are expensive and out of touch sometimes and so there's this natural phase where in Crunch mode in bear market times contributors who do stay They have to step up to the plate to take on new responsibilities new levels of professionalism and proficiency and it's up to us as Or glides Dow operators or even just contributors who care It's up to us to to help our organizations Foster that environment of growth right So that's why we're here today and as Lenka said we've got four different breakout stations that we'll go into at like 30 minutes after the hour and We'll get into the description of those in a little bit But I want to take us through the lifecycle of people operations. Do we have a clicker? I Don't think we do Is anyone here helping us with the slides? Okay, while we're waiting for technical things I want to just hear a couple shout outs like what's a big people problem that you notice happening in this space Team health, you know, rage quits. It could be anything Anybody what kind of people problems are you seeing happen in teams? Anybody has a people problem? Yeah, go ahead. I'm five thumbs Oh Five thumbs. Yes. Yeah cool, so Power structures anyone else Sometimes what people want to do doesn't align with the best interests of the Dow Mmm. Good one anybody else Sometimes people come for instant for incentives and when they dry out they can go elsewhere Or they come for instant instant games that are long-term growth of the Dow Thank you. Isn't that why we love bear market building? Okay, cool. I have my slides now, so So I think we'll just move to that Yeah, so I talked a little bit about What we do as the people obscured where we come from But yeah, we we try to educate this space We try to educate ourselves and just be a learning hub together. We're also available to anyone who needs some help if you have Like consult that you want to request We're happy to share our resources There's a few different educational resources that we have put out Some like worksheets and an article But we're also down to take people's questions and you can reach us By scanning QR code, there'll be also more opportunities for that QR code later, too Okay, so Um, I'm gonna stand up so I can see this Hi Okay, so This to me is the whole life cycle of people operations in the crypto space A lot of people are like what the heck is people ops? I don't know. Are you HR that sounds stuffy?  What is this? Um, but it's a little bit different in crypto orgs so Kind of at the at the entry at the 12 o'clock. We have like the hiring process We have like the discussion of compensation and benefits which often is left out in crypto jobs We have onboarding processes can be kind of hard and dows We have Role definition and work contracts work contracts can be super different in like non legal entities or in very inventive legal entities Then we have I you know the maintenance of culture once people are really in the org We got team building and and vibe maintenance We got IRL time with our teams. These are all things that people operations do then we come to Professional development opportunities for our contributors as they've already settled into their role and they need some time to grow How are they gonna know if they need to grow? performance review But it doesn't usually work in a typical managerial sense in all crypto orgs So a lot of us have some form of decentralized peer review We also have conflict resolution as well as like one-on-one Contributor support for hard times. These are things that people operations provides and Some orgs have a code of conduct to and this is something that's Tended by people operation staff. So when we look at this whole life cycle, I see the main things for contributor development being Obviously the professional development and the peer review and Sometimes actually a lot of the team building and team RL IRL time because you get a lot of educational Opportunities in that time. We're all here learning at DevCon, right? We're growing so much just by being here and so education and Professional development and peer review are the main things that we're gonna talk about today for contributor development And now I want to invite some of our guilds to speak about their experiences with that Hi guys, I'm Lenka I'm basically not officially a people ops person. So I always feel like Like a black sheep in this group, but it's kind of fun because it's something I'm passionate about and I got close to this topic While I was working on a project together with my teammates We called it x-ray and we were researching the centralized workforce. We were researching the ways to best attract on board and retain talent and The team I'm at in our language core unit. It's called SCS sustainable ecosystem scaling at MakerDAO and Yeah, the personal story I want to share here with you is actually my My time when I learned that the maker foundation as you probably know is closing down and Basically, there's this completely new structure where people should kind of like sell themselves as contributors to the DAO and be voted in so it was like a really big change in transition But we kind of knew this is coming because our organization has always committed to like progressive decentralization And when the time came I just want to share that the good experience I had from my org because On one hand, if you are a bit more centralized organization You actually do not want to have like you don't want to mess with the process of DAO Contributor onboarding so you actually do not want to influence or wait in when it comes to making this decision but I was super fortunate that we were led some sort of a wiggle room where we could actually in a Bit more peace and less stress figure out whether we want to transition into DAO how do we want to transition and Basically, we were allowed that space without the foundation and kind of like abusing its it could abuse its power Because they you know, they have a lot of influence. So basically I was in a situation where I had a bit more time and space to be able to figure this out and get the support From the foundation side, but not the support of helping me get there but checking on me and hearing my my plans and figuring out what other work and Important things are managing. I'm leaving behind so that the transition is smooth So I think that's a really good example to share with you if you are in a situation where you have a Bit more startup a traditional organization and you're looking into how you want to decentralize So I think that was a really nice approach to offer that safe space but do not interfere with that and Yeah, the funny thing is that I used to do I was part of the mark on steam and I used to do like Events management and community building and when I transitioned to the Dow I just said, okay I want to try something new and I kind of had to figure out the way to apply myself and I became a project lead So completely different thing you can have some experiences, but it's really nice this opportunity So that's what I wanted to share with you this short thing Who do we have next? So who wants to go next this one this one works So thanks you for sharing that link. I didn't prepare a share for you guys But I just want to tell you a little bit about who I am and what I do. My name is Melanie I am a contributor to DX Dow. I lead the tribute contributor experience there. I Have a traditional background in HR. So pretty much my entire career. I've covered all things under the HR and Bella like Recruiting compliance performance management all the way to talent management And coming into a Dow has been a completely different experience But definitely learning these skills and like gaining that type of knowledge has given me the skill set to really help support my team Help support my squad And my Dow so today I'm actually going to be at the peer review workstation And we're going to be talking about building a culture of feedback Introducing some mechanisms that you guys can use within your Dow And then implying them to certain cases, but that's a little bit about me and who I am and yeah Thank you for joining Yeah, thank you all for being here. I'm staff. I do people ops at get coin Get coins an example of an organization I think we've like gone through all of the things that lowie mentioned earlier where we've grown really quickly We're up to like 45 full-time contributors in the past year And yeah, like I you know being the people of person I have gone through sort of like many of the the different pieces of the the contributor life cycle Yeah, like just doing a lot of hiring and When we were still in bull times And then realizing that there's a lot of work debt that we've accumulated In the bull times that we now kind of have to Yeah, like set up structure and processes for So yeah, I've been involved with like compensation creation at get coin and today. I'm just I'm here with Anna and Melanie at the peer review station Yeah, thank you Hey guys, thanks for being here with us. I'm Anna I work at chainsafe and I come from traditional web to space and came into web three two years ago with You know a bunch of tools from web two can be implemented on web three We just with different different outlooks and basically adjusting Making it work as well. So happy to be here and talk about that today. I'll keep a brief and short and Yeah, the the period The peer review review station is super robust and it's gonna be a great breakout group so Heather, I don't know if you want to say just a little bit about Recruitment and what you guys won't talk about there Hi, my name is Heather and I'll be filling in for Francis at the recruitment station Station and I currently work for giveth Oh, I forgot to mention like thanks all first showing up I thought we would be speaking to a room of crickets But it's really awesome that there's like so many people in here that are like really passionate about this are at least interested as we are and I'm a little bit about myself is I don't come from HR at all Yeah, I'm I'm actually trained as a clinical I also stutter so if I stutter during our Breakout session, that's just me, but I come from a clinical mental health Counselor background so I got my master's in that and I worked in and an adult psychiatric hospital locked unit for five years over in Denver and It sounds like maybe it's not transferable, but I think in this like Wild West of web three There definitely is I'm like, all right Thank you So I think through that experience What taught me a lot about that is how important job satisfaction is to Everyone you know if like you have purpose in life if you have a job that you like you're probably going to be happy overall And I think it's really important that like we try and create like a curated Workspace so like people show up excited for their jobs that they're having fun with their teens that they're laughing and It's like you have that like good vibe going on in your team chances are you're gonna be more productive you're gonna have more retention and like people are gonna be proud to like work for your org so and I think the very part of that starts at the recruitment process where like I get to use my like bullshit detector and Just really choose like the outstanding Candidates that can fit in your teams the best and I'll pass it on to Ben Hi, everyone. So I'm Ben Perez. I work at Pocket Network Which is a protocol for decentralized node infrastructure If you don't know what that is you can come and talk to me and we can talk about together I'm looking forward to meeting lots of you. I'm an incredibly awkward person So if I look to hug you when you put a hand out for a handshake, just warn you upfront. That's who I am And yeah, I think there's like lots of ways to think about web3 but One that I think about often is that it might be like the largest human Re-education program since like the industrial revolution I think the fact we're here today talking about different ways that we can develop people and upskill them is It's a really important topic The really important part I think Is to also not teach them all of the patriarchal power structures that are built into our existing educational systems So I'm really looking forward to talking about that a little bit. My station is about tactical development It's with a bunch of experts who are working on Educational programs that you can potentially work with so yeah looking forward to chatting about that today Thank you Okay, so We we're gonna have you guys pepper out questions I think we'll still do just like five minutes of that because we want y'all to have a good idea of what workstations You should go into and I might I might just Make a little a little bit of distinction kind of between the workstations before I have you guys give questions As you know, these three folks are are really focusing on peer review. I think that one is pretty self-explanatory Recruitment, you know for like a life recruiting for a lifelong growth journey for any contributor and then the the the two that I want to give you a little more distinction on is Continuing education, which is me and Lenka and tactical development, which has been so at our station, we're gonna talk a little bit more about The learning environment in general we're gonna talk about like brain plasticity and how to build like a culture of learning in Your workplace. We'll talk a little bit more about like the philosophical education around crypto the movement what's important to know about that and how people can develop kind of as you know Thought leaders in web three as well as just doing a good job of being in these Organizations and what it's like to develop those skills to exist in a dower wherever else Versus Ben station is more about the technical skills It's gonna be about more tactical professional development stages and like he said he's got some visitors from various Different developer education and other really tactical web three skill education cohorts So just so you know kind of the difference between those two And before we go into breakouts I'd love to just open up for a few Questions these can be questions about like, you know, how do I? how do I execute like a decentralized performance review or How do I convince people in my org that this thing is important just I just want to hear a few questions from you guys So so that we can see you melding into these breakouts better You can just raise your hand and I come with the microphone. Okay Hey, I'm Alex a question from my side. I come from web two being in web three for one year I was fortunate to be in a web two company that focused a lot on growth and HR and Just helping us in the company. We're 200 people there coming in web three I see it's very focused on financial and technical part and missing that human side I tried to bring that in the company. It's not easy. How to do that. Thanks That's a great question and honestly, I think it it steeped in the culture Overall and kind of involves all of these aspects But I would say if I were you I would go to either like continuing education or to peer review I think those stations will have some some good answers for you. Okay. Do I see another hand? Thank you really fascinating I have my question is how do you work during this bear market as a team and avoiding people burning out or Not delivering or you know, just a number of human issues during this bear market really Yeah, I think it's very important to talk to your people and like actually hear out what's going on why it's going on and Be it, you know in one-on-one setting or through some sort of survey Anonymous or not and just hear your people and like come up with things that you can do together To you know address some of the issues we're all facing burn out wellness, you know disconnecting from your laptop That's a big one. I think for everybody I'll add to that. So I like to call myself an emotional support human And I think In at least in at giveth what I do is like someone's having a hard time Like I come in and like have a check-up call with them. I'm like, hey, what's going on like? Your productivity is down Like you seem kind of sad on calls like you're not showing up and it's like a private neutral space So we can just talk candidly about what's going on in their personal lives or if it's something internally going on and then we like don't really dwell on the problem so much is more like focused on Solutions and like brainstorming how they can like communicate better or how they can like Propose different ideas that they're kind of like struggling with so I think it's it's especially in like this digital space It's really important to have like that human touch that we lose and when when we start losing that human touch is when people start Feeling more isolated disconnected from teams I have one more answer to this question And then we'll pass it I think that it's really advantageous to have like connection moments in your team and like Fun educational moments because sometimes when it's like not that fun to be at work It's more fun to be at school and to remember that like even in the struggle of Trying to have a successful business that you're in a place where you're developing yourself so much and you're learning and that's thrilling and you are Developing a sense of community And so that's like something that we're going to talk a lot about how to do at the continuing education station I really think you could take your pick from any station for this question We are traditional organization and we have recently kickstarted our progressive decentralization process and I can definitely see some resistance internally from some of the some of the colleagues From the perspective of being judged and seen by everybody else in the public basically Because I mean yeah when you're in a traditional organization, everything is a pack You're like you just work with your colleagues like you have your manager But when you're a contributor when you are working in building in public basically Anybody can can look at what you're doing. Everybody can see your performance So there's definitely a Mindset that some people do not have Coming from I don't know ten years of experience in a traditional organization. How can we help them to kind of be? Feel safe and and I don't know feel Not judged. Let's say. Yeah Who wants to take this one? The first thing I would try and say to those people is Okay One of the things that I find About the experience of being in web 3 is that it does challenge you but usually it challenges you by Allowing you to see things that were sort of kept from you in the past And I think it's really important that people understand that maybe Challenges around their development or their capability are okay and that the conversations were happening before often behind their back So I think it's like a really good healthy culture to have that transparency It gives people the opportunity to lean into developing themselves and growing I think the part that you're saying though, which is really tricky is them feeling judged and I think often that comes from the way that we communicate with each other So I think communication is a huge part of what we need to do to create safe environment And I think in this space if anyone's ever heard of nonviolent communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg Rosenfell Yeah, definitely great to pick up that book it will not only change like your How you communicate and like your job and life but I think when people feel judged they tend to shut down and That's really easy to shut down when you're on a screen and like you can literally just close and not engage with your team I know we have another question coming to I mean I was definitely gonna second that about clearly communicating I think it's important to Communicate some type of road map maybe introduce like some phases into the transition And transparencies of course really important as well. So yeah, thank you. I'll be really quick It's mostly just a question. That's clarifying. I hope Ben, I think this is mostly directed to you I Noted that lowee mentioned that this was kind of like the tactical and or more technical skills I am curious if that's like really just geared to developers and like those hard skills in in the space or Your workshop will also cover some of the kind of like frameworks that are necessary That may be for non technical contributors Yeah So we'll talk about one framework just a way to think about your development and your capability Experts or our speakers Working on projects which are around technical skill development But they will talk about two things they'll talk about what their project is and does is something that you can think about the way People are addressing these challenges and then they'll look to share their Insights or expertise around what they've learned from that experience, which would be Generally applicable to any type of skill development, but um, you know, they're a little bit more on the technical side So I'm not not sure how that answers your question. Yeah Okay Right. Yeah, and so anyone who's like really feeling that the non technical Like skill journey you could consider coming to continuing education, too So and I think that means it's really time for us to start these these breakouts We have a lot more people in here than we were expecting. Thank you all you guys are great So we had originally made four different like groups of two tables I'm gonna say You guys might need to pull more chairs around or you know If you even want to add a third table if the group is getting big That's permissionless in my opinion But let's just name these sections. So here we'll have peer review So staff Melanie and Anna will be at this huddle here um in The back we will have recruitment. So Heather is gonna be there And then let's see up on this side Let's do continuing education. So that's me and linka and then this group of two tables here will be Tactical development and then we'll be anchoring you guys over here So I'm just gonna change these titles here Did you guys have fun in those breakout sessions? Okay, good I'm glad Um, so we'd love to hear Just some learnings from you before we go into that I think we're gonna just do the very last portion of continuing education all as one group together Because it's about events is about the importance of being here at these conferences at off-sites And linka wanted to share a little bit about how Being IRL at events really feeds into contributor education and development and then after that We'll we'll hear from you guys what you learned in your stations. Yeah, I think thank you guys So we also have a couple of handouts So if you didn't get the physical copy you can just scan the QR and then you'll be able to get it The one that is continuing education. We've been doing this is the last bit of it And it's basically talking about events because we're here at DevCon and we're also learning something new and sharing together. So It's quite interesting to actually consider like in which ways do you think that Having people as part of the events is helpful to your organization And then it's also interesting to think like not only one-sided that they're representing your Organization but also at the same time that you help them to learn and grow So I have actually like three examples. I would like to share with you That might inspire you, but I would also like love to hear from you or maybe you can try to fill that Empty box in the table yourself later on so it kind of can inspire you like how can you actually use events for continuing? education to both Enable your contributors, but also like gain something as a secondary Product of that as an organization. So of course, I have this marketing background, so this is very close to me and First thing I would like to share out of the three takeaways is that I have been hired to work for a distributed organization To to do community building for Europe and that's quite a large area to cover. I Don't know where the noise comes from. I Think this one's better. Thank you. So Basically, I was three months into my job and I went to my first in real life event I have barely met anyone from my team or I barely have been to like a real crypto community event Other than like what I knew in my area or something online. So my first event was Eid Berlin and I remember that I was in 18 And I just remember I was like really unsure like am I doing the job? Well, am I really building the community? Am I really connecting to people and by actually being like at the first hackathon I actually understand. What does it mean to be part of Ethereum community? I also understood, you know like all these practice rounds you need to to promote your project and like meet people who don't know about your project and you have to as we talked about like Learning the basics teaching the basics to the people who never heard of your project That's like a quite challenge and it's like exercise. You need to do over and over. So After I came from Eid Berlin, I felt like, okay, I have met the people I actually work with. I Understand the community better. I met other people in the same situation and I have the contacts I actually need to actually make some events and initiatives happen And it's so much easier than trying to cold call or cold email someone because you met them at the party and you were sitting on event together at one of the closing events or something so This is really good for roles that are outwards facing a community roles, BD roles, marketing roles Anyone who really need to connect with the other people other projects in the communities. It's really really important So make sure to include this as part of their onboarding or Personal growth professional growth because it really makes an impact after those after that event I felt like a lot of things have changed plus I had a lot of motivation And like the energy to keep going forward because like it really recharged me So I think this works for many people as well. That's the first option second thing is I was also managing events and You know, I really do not like if people go by title or CXO levels, etc And everyone wanted room to speak but I never wanted to do that. I was always looking for what is the opportunity and Who would be the best person who could be the most knowledgeable on this And, you know, not always we had people who joined org who are trained speakers but I always try to like combine the two and If they needed some support to be confident and comfortable on the stage I wanted to provide them with so it's a great way for people to like share their learning share their experiences like being with like-minded people and also like overcome this and Through this process of starting at a small event coming to another one and another one They can actually become like thought leaders and many of the people as we call them maker mafia have been Starting of that little stage with their nervous it. You know, so just support people enable them to become speakers Give them the courage. Give them the dress rehearsal Help them with slides help them with some practicalities and show them grow on the stage. It's really awesome And what was the third example? Oh, yeah So you probably love to talk about crypto and blockchain So you imagine that many people are in this space then imagine they have like some super niche area They're nerding in and they're working with Where can they talk to like-minded people at the events that focus on that specific topic at that specific level So if you enable them to go to these events They're not only are gonna like build the good network where they can spare with these people But they also get to bounce ideas and maybe get inspired to like come with the next best product So I gave you like a three examples of how I think like events were really helpful personally for growth for different types of contributors and how you as a As a person in your org who cares about building the talent inside could get inspired so hopefully this was helpful and It's very very good to consider events being part of your Budget or plan how you actually manage your team or how you grow your team Of course, there always has to be a good connection Why are you sending this person and is this person going to appreciate and be happy for it? But it's a really good thing to consider if you want to have a strong team that really enjoys the work that they're doing and It's grateful to be in the orc that they are in so it was a quite a long Example of why events are important, but we're all here at DevCon. We're learning together. We're sharing together So I just thought to share this with you Please don't be shy to ask your team lead or whoever it is whether you can go to the event represent the orc I think most of the time you meet with very positive response and you can always call back on Lenka's examples Right, we have lots of examples of why this is important. I can vouch for you That's that's part of what we want to do in this workshop is give you guys Ways to argue for these elements ways to argue for professional development ways to argue for an events budget Ways to argue for time spent connecting And educating right because sometimes it can be hard to prioritize that to budget in but there is absolutely a business case for it And y'all whether you are orc leaders being convinced yourselves or you have a leader you can go convince now you have some Some tools and some some facts to share there and just so you know That like last prompt that Lenka responded to this is kind of a homework item that we left for you guys It's on the continuing education worksheet And the prompts are like in what ways have you benefited from going to events and like what roles do you think benefit the most from that? So great reflections to have especially continuing education folks love for you to reflect on that and any of you Can scan the QR codes that we've provided It'll take you to the the notion site for the people off skilled And you can see all of the all of the worksheets that we have there So with that I'd love to just hear from you guys like a little bit of what you learned What were your takeaways? From these workstations you were at and I can I can go around in past Mike So which is the first workstation We were the continuing education Workstream, and I guess one of the main takeaways We're one of the things that's gonna stick with me is the idea of incorporating some sort of 80-20 rule Into how we ask Contributors to invest their time to allow them at least 20% of their time to go out and actually learn And contribute to other orgs and bring and actually and bring that learning back also just for their personal growth and development I also just want to say continuing education station if any of you guys want to share what game you came up with You're welcome to I Passed by a couple of stations, but my first the main one was the recruitment one. It was amazing. Thank you for that So I learned how to like search for people with a spark of interest to like start a community from scratch because We can't do this alone. We need to build builders And we learned how to search for these people how to retain them how to keep them engaged and inspire them to Teach more people later, which was which is like the seed That you plan to like grow everything after yeah, that was amazing. Thank you Well done, Heather Thank you so much for the continuing education workshop. I was there to contribute But I think I actually gained so much that I was not expecting really. I was just like oh just tune into this, but I've been doing this for a couple of years mostly on my own But I somehow have managed to gather contributors volunteers for now around me that are supporting me and I'm a bit emotional just thinking that I would have wished them to be here With me at Defconn because they've done so much to support me And I just wish that I can get to that point where I would bring them on and I want to include events for them I'm already like thinking where they should all go and grow in their own respective areas of interest because apparently they like to be around me Already without me paying them But I think just you know, I'm thinking like bring merch back for them and stickers just something like just little snippets But next time I want them at Defconn with me and the second thing is the social gathering hour I think that's such a brilliant idea I think I was doing it sort of in a very loose casual way, but to actually make time Spend an hour to just connect share books share the latest crypto news together and just have that moment and to Make time for that is what I'm going to be implementing moving forward So thank you so much and I might hire you for the social gathering just to to launch it and do games together Well, this is why we need to pay educators like you Ray And we need to put education budgets into our teams so that like your project and the contributors who volunteer for you can come To these places and keep doing more of what they're doing and be funded to do that Crypto canal by the way. Oh Yeah, who is So we came up with a fun game for Engaging with people and that would be to have their co-workers describe them as a cryptocurrency Might be a little shady, but All in good fun. We promise And yeah, just so thank you for the space Thanks, Nathan Hi everyone, I really want to say thank you to the peer review team It was a lot of interesting insights and a lot of interesting discussions the takeaway that I'm going away with is Creating that safe space for people that people need to have a safe space just because we're in the web 3 world doesn't mean we're different and from IRL so creating a safe space that one-on-one conversation and building a human connection because That's what's most most fragile and yeah, I thank you In the peer review workshop, we introduced a few frameworks for the participants to use while giving feedback That's one thing. That's really difficult to do. It's easy to give positive feedback It's definitely difficult to give corrective feedback So we you know provided some frameworks for them to use and I think it seemed really helpful Unfortunately, not everybody is here from our workshop still but That's just a little bit about what we did there Okay, one more game that I wanted to suggest is only to have fun. It's a usual game, but In our space like what did you do at DevCon and people who play the game like raising their hands if If they did the same and win who have less people who did the same That's a cool one. Thank you Which station did we not hear from or is there anyone else? Oh, yeah, Ben Oh So I've been sort of synthesized all of the answers partly because I know being in My session that I had massive FOMO that I wasn't in the other sessions So actually on our board we've got The websites for the people who presented. I thought they were all fantastic lots of Lots of great insights there. So we just encourage you on the way out to maybe take a screenshot of Of those websites that are that are up on the board They're doing really cool things and if you're looking to develop people or collaborate with Experts in the space and yeah, I think that's really great Do we still have any of the educators here? Oh Okay, I know you guys finished early If there's not more take aways, I also have another question for you guys But I'm just gonna scan if anyone else wants to share another take away Okay, so I have a question for you guys We would love to know For us as a guild what else would you guys want from the people operations guild? We've already put out some stuff on on Education and development here and We've put out like a couple of resources online, but we'd love to hear from y'all What's needed from a guild of you know, decentralized HR folk This will totally not come as a surprise that I I bring this up In the sense that you're specialized in Lowy and it hadn't hasn't really come up. I think yet but so we all work in remote organizations, which Means that you cannot just go to up to like a person's desk for like two minutes and be like hey that thing in that meeting There was like this small disagreement or that misunderstanding. I wanted to explain what that was so what happens is that tensions build up and so I think having all various forms of of Conflict resolution and remediation in dows is massively important and I was wondering if you could speak a little bit to that So I definitely can I'm very passionate about decentralized conflict resolution I would love to call out that there is a group dedicated to this gravity Dow they run a cohort of Conflict resolution education called the Graviton training. I think there's been two or three so far to date And it's a great like discussion group on on topics of conflict resolution, but I also really recommend Just being aware of trained facilitators. They exist in the space I've collected a roster of like 10 of them that are ready to provide this service to various crypto orgs So you can always reach out to me to get in contact with those people And in general, it's worth it to provide some training on You know reflective listening And safe communication and conflict resolution to your teammates, you know if you're gonna have this time for team training or for Connection hour you could consider Having a nonviolent communication specialist come in You could consider watching some videos on restorative justice together Or bringing in a practitioner to talk about this And and guide people through some exercises because the whole point of Conflict resolution in a decentralized sense is that it belongs to us. It belongs to the people who are in conflict It's not about some external judge or jury It's about the people who are closest to an issue having the most agents And how to solve it and I know that that will stick well with your teams because Most people who work in this space really value that that self-agency and decentralization I think that's a great point to make to bring in some type of external Facilitation in our peer review workshop, you know, we introduced these frameworks of how to give feedback But some people are asking What about if the person isn't receptive what if I'm talking to my founder and you know, I'm nervous And I don't know how I can give him this feedback, but he really needs to know And that's what we suggested bringing in some type of facilitation some type of mediation to help support you through those difficult Conversations because like I said giving any type of corrective feedback is not easy You may also not be fully equipped or have the skill set to do that So leaning on someone else. I think is also really really helpful Thank you So we have people all across Europe at the moment and I would say in terms of diversity we're doing okay There's still some more work to do. I don't feel like it's a focus in my organization at the moment And I don't really know how to bring it up in terms of like intercultural communication to have it like in a sensitive manner But also just like providing a place to work from people from all types of background So I'm wondering like do you have any like type of information about that topic? We have people among us in the guild who work in DEI diversity equity and inclusion And I would definitely defer to them as far as providing resources on that I think that you know a lot of times it's about like just Advocating to the decision makers that this is important and worthwhile and if you can at least Get them to say yes to a consultant Then those consultants are the are the best folks to put it in the right lingo, you know, they can they can speak to your to your Founders on like the real business cases of having an inclusive environment They also can speak really sensitively to people that are just experiencing a hard time in the work environment So like I'm not a specialist in that myself, but one of our guild members Sandy has a background in DEI Also a personal friend and colleague from get coin Gloria Kim Bwala Has done a lot of DEI work So I certainly would just like recommend those people and if you want to get in touch Feel free to go through me if you need to thank you Okay, that's that


Hey, this is Brett and this extremely rare 2017 Ram 3500 Crew Cab Short Box Single Rear Wheel Laramie Sport is stock number 12402Z. We're here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used heavy-duty truck and Ram headquarters. The reason that this Ram is pretty rare is that it has the high output 6.7 liter Cummins diesel. It's paired up with the Eisen heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and it is 100% ready to go. We're going to go inside underneath the hood, start it up, we're going to go under the truck as well. In this video, Granite Crystal Metallic is the color, and we shoot all of our videos in 1080p 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, and options of the truck before seeing it in person. And if you liked the video and how we do things here at Summit Automotive in the upper right-hand part of the screen is a subscribe button, click that, and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates to the videos we do each and every day here at Summit Automotive. This sport package gives you the 20-inch painted alloy rims, and it has Firestone Transforce AT tires. These are LT28560R20s, and they have a good amount of tread left on them, I'd say 80 to 90%. Rim and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck. Front fender is in excellent shape, I didn't see any dents or dings on there, it does have the projector lamp headlamps, LED running lights, and factory fog lights. Front bumper is in excellent condition, I didn't see any dents or dings on there, it does have the front bumper parking sensors, the headlight lenses are crystal clear, and the hood is in excellent shape as well. You do get the clearance lights up top, and the passenger side front fender looks really good as well. Notice you get the RAM 3500 and Cummins logos all blacked out, also part of that sport appearance group. Passenger side rim, no scuffs or scrapes, does have the nice black step bars, and as you go down this side of the truck, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away or even if it goes by, and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision, decision from the comfort of wherever you're at, does have the cargo cam there. And if this video helps you make a smart buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful, and that Brett sent you. The back rim is in excellent shape, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, frame and underbody is in nice condition, has all the remaining factory exhaust, and it's very clean all the way underneath. The rockers and cab corners look good, and those nice gloss black step bars are in nice condition. Granite crystals get a lot of metal flake in it, always like Sean, just how much metal flake is in some of these paint jobs. Looks really good in the sun. Coming around to the back, rear bumpers in great shape, does have the back of parking sensors and full towing package, which includes receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is in excellent condition as well, does have a locking tailgate backup camera, and you get the gloss black Ram logo and blacked out four by four lever. Comes with a spray-in bed liner. Looks like it might have had a fifth wheel bed rails in it at one time. Bed itself is in excellent condition. That tailgate shuts nice and solidly as you go down the driver's side, just as clean as that passenger side. No dents or dings on the box. And for full disclosure, this back rim is in excellent shape as well. Going down the rest of the side of the truck, looks really good. I didn't see any dents or dings in the doors, I didn't see any major scratches. Has the enter and go system, the heated fold up tail mirrors. They fold up like so, they have built in directional signals as well. And they do power fold in. Inside the Laramie package gives you the black leather interior. You get the Laramie embossed backrest. Seat are in excellent shape, I didn't see any rips or tears. Memory driver seat with lumbar. You also get the 40, 20, 40 split bench seating in this truck. Factory all-weather floor mats, auto headlamps, audio controls in the back of the steering wheel, and power windows, power locks, power mirrors. Wood grain trim, leather bolster. And you can see that those mirrors fold in like so. I always like showing both sides so that you know that all the options are working in the truck you're looking at. Let's turn the ignition on and check out the miles and radio and everything that goes with the interior on this truck. You can see that this one only has 7,556 miles digital speedometer, compass outside temperature display. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. Comes with the leather wrap steering wheel. This is a heated steering wheel, cruise controls on the right. Bluetooth and audio controls on the left. Comes with the six-speed ISEN heavy-duty transmission with the optional tap shift on there. And this one has the 8.4 3C radio, AMFM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities. And you can see it has the factory navigation system on there as well. There's your Sirius heated cooled seat buttons. You can check out your backup cam or you can check out your cargo cam. So that's pretty cool. Have your climate controls right there. And then you have all your different apps that you can do as well. Now down here is your turned-out four-wheel drive. More tactile climate and volume controls. Factory brake controller, heated and cooled seat buttons, heated steering wheel buttons. Stability control, tow haul. Factory exhaust brake in those front and rear parking sensors. You can turn those off and on. Does come with a 115-volt, 150-watt plug-in. Carpeting and passenger side floor mat and seat are in excellent condition. No rips or tears on there. Smells very clean inside this truck. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. The headliner is in nice shape. And you do get map lights up here. Power sliding rear window button and home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lane systems, assist and 911 buttons in the mirror. And it does have the Alpine premium sound system in here. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. No rips, no tears back here. It does have the latch, child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Power sliding rear window with the build-in rear defrost. These seats fold up for extra storage. It does have a load floor which is nice if you've got muddy boots or tools, dirty tools. Put them on here. You're not going to get your seats dirty. Or if you've got pets, put both sides down.  There is storage under here. This one does come with a winter front. All weather floor mat back here and you get in-floor storage back here as well. And this looks like a receiver hitch reducer back here. All weather floor mats, very nice side curtain airbags on this truck. You get the same trim on the back doors, child safety locks, bottoms of the doors all look really good. And we'll start it up and take a quick look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video. You will have been able to verify the quality and condition of this truck all the way around inside and out. You can see how the lights are working nicely. And under the hood we have the high output 6.7 liter Cummins diesel, 385 horsepower, 854 pounds of torque. Engine base very clean, runs very smooth. Once again this truck has been fully safetyed and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been tracked and topped off.  And this truck is 100% ready to go.

This is Dukal Continental Hotel located on the highest point of Morrovia, 1,000 feet above the sea level. It is the very first five-star and the oldest hotel ever built in Africa. Now you will see the beauty of Morrovia, the heart of the city and of course you will enjoy yourself. It is of touristic nature, it is of cultural nature, it is of environmental nature. This is Liberia. The oldest republic in Africa. And this is the highest peak in Morrovia. Daddy, thank you so much for bringing me into the hearts of Morrovia. Why the name Morrovia? Well, as you may know, Morrovia James Morro, the capital city, but the initial name for Morrovia was Christopolis, meaning city of Christ. Then, of course, in 1835, Maserado County, they have the name after President James Morro, the fifth president, because of his contribution towards the coming of the slave to Africa and his helping in putting the government into place. Wow, let's take a walk. We are currently at the oldest five-star hotel ever built in Africa. Now it's abandoned, right? But I just want to know, who built this hotel? Well, this is owned, it was owned by government, but this hotel was built by the Pan-American Airways in 1954. The engineer for this hotel was Prince Neil and Israeli fellow was the engineer. And of course, in the 80s, in the 50s, in whatsoever unit, it was the top leading hotel. 1979, my son, when Labira hosted the OU Conference, 1979, there was the Neve Center, there was the Balling Point. Though we have beside this hotel, we have another hotel in Virginia, which is called Hotel Africa, which has 210 rooms and this one has close to 500 rooms, exclusive of the offices that are here. Well, what is the height of this hotel? Because I feel like it's the tallest building in the city. It is, of course it is the tallest, but it is located on the highest peak in Moravia. It is above, the area is above 1000 feet above the sea level. Wow, so standing here you can see entire Moravia. Look at the beauty, like you guys, you have no idea what we see in here, when the beauty in here, this is the Atlantic Ocean. That is the Atlantic Ocean. But is Moravia surrounded by? Of course, Moravia is almost on the island, it is surrounded by water. The Atlantic Ocean on the north, in the south, and of course in the north is Mercerado River or Stockton Creek and on the other side we have the do all over. We are surrounded by water as you can see from this point. Wow, the historic city of Moravia. Historic city of Moravia. Which means that this city is really historic. Yeah, it is a historic. So much rich history. Yeah, so much rich history. In fact before 1822. It's my first time here. I don't know whether you were around when they built this. Would you ever see it when you were building it? No, when they were operating it I never saw it. But when they got through to completing it, I was, I worked here, OU Conference 79 as a tour guide. I used to carry the visitors around. I was assigned at RIE at the airport, receiving guests from the airport, tourists from the airport. And then I was assigned on board the floating ship hotel that was here assisting the hotel in Virginia, Hotel Africa. But I brought some tourists here. It was a beautiful place. It was almost like a paradise in Africa. I heard there is a duplicate of this hotel in Ivory Coast. Yes, yes. Felix, the late Felix Hofebwajian of Ivory Coast. The late Kenya President Jumon Kenyatta, they took the model from here and carried it to their various countries because they saw this place was very beautifully built. Wow. And why is it abandoned? Why is it abandoned? You know, it is due to the war. We fought 40 years of civil war. And it is how it is like this. But the government is trying. Some people, during early selling administration, Gaddafi tried but he felt he came with his other thing and ensure some investors are now investing to see that it get in place. This of course, when it is built, it will provide job opportunity for the Liberian people and other foreigners. And of course, it will add value to our accommodation sector. It will add value to the tourism sector of the Republic of Liberia. What we pray and hope for is this government has, the government is giving people the something to build and invest in this hotel. So as a result, they are always advertising to people to come and invest in this area. But I'm sure, I'm of the conviction that somebody on the ground engaged this facility to rebuild it, to rebuild the hotel. It's in an added area. As you can see, you can see the executive mansion. You can see the capital hill. You can see the Ministry of Information. Of course, you can see everything here. In the northern part of it, building Hotel Dukor is the slum town of West Point. Above West Point, there we have our, the harbour, the free port of Morrovia, which was built in 1944 by President Thotman, which is the gateway to Liberia's economy. And to the western, to the southern part, we have the diplomatic enclave of Mamma Point. And to the eastern part, we have the central Morrovia out of the city. And to the western part, there we have Virginia. Or from there on the Atlantic Ocean, you can go straight to Sierra Leone, so this is how it is like. Of course, indeed, a beautiful place that needs government attention. This is the rest of the water. Dry season, when dry season comes, it's very hard to get water. So water and sewer connect a pipe from the rest of the water here. Surrounding the locals come here to get water from here. Water from here? But they should have been the rest of the water. I feel like this should be renovated because it's too strong. The building is too strong. This is how it is. But the government trying, we put up to investors to come and invest in today. Even the hotel Africa. Hotel Africa. If you have money out there and you think that you can invest in this structure, make sure you go see the... Who should they see, the president? Well, we have the president executive. We have people in the parliament that are responsible for such things. And we have the investment commission area. People contact them. Possible people that can... Because it's beautiful. If you check the surrounding, I can't imagine those days how it looks like. Oh my goodness. That's like in New York. Wow, amazing. This place really looks luxury. So I wanted to know who are the people who used to come in here. The head of state like Halle Salasse came here. Halle Sufabanya came here. Even Seputuri. Including Queen Elizabeth. As you know, this was built during Totman administration. Totman was elected in 1944. He was the 18th president. And it was that time that they built this structure. And of course a lot of dignitaries and even musicians came here. This is one of the double rooms here. The double room here. This is the bathroom. And you can see here. Wow. That's the bathroom there. Interesting. This was the bathroom. There was the bathroom. Okay. Everything. Everything. So I want to say thank you so much for educating me and also the entire public about this place. Is there any final message that you have for everyone? Well, I just want to tell the people thank you too for promoting Liberia tourism industry. For promoting the entire country. And I just want to urge you people when you go let them come and see Liberia. Come and experience Liberia. We are very friendly people. And as you may have on BBC Liberia was rated the number one in the whole of Africa for being so friendly, hospitality. And we were rated the number eight in the whole world for being so hospitality. We have all natural attractions in Liberia. You are welcome. We receive tourists every other day in Liberia. The entire forty five for the three thousand square miles tourism potential. We have accommodation. We have transportation. You name it. Thank you very much. And all you need to do is to book your ticket.  Make sure you come and visit the famous Duka Palace Hotel. Thank you so much for watching. Don't forget to like, share, leave a comment and let me know. You actually enjoy this episode. I am more to come from the oldest republic in Africa. Peace out. I pledge allegiance I pledge allegiance to the flag of Liberia and to the Republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. We are hospitality people. We are hospitable people in Liberia. You are welcome. You are welcome.


The discovery of senior L204 EU2+, DI3+, in 1996 marked a major breakthrough in the field of persistent luminescence. Since then, numerous other materials have been developed that exhibit similar properties. Despite the progress made since then, however, there is still much to be understood about the underlying mechanisms responsible for the persistence of these materials. This review provides an overview of the current state of knowledge regarding the preparation and properties of persistent luminescent materials, focusing specifically on those based on EU2+, emission. It also discusses the proposed models and mechanisms that have been suggested to explain the bright afterglow observed in various compounds. This article was authored by Kuhn Van Den Eekhout, Philippe F. Smet and Dirk Pellman.


Well, hello friends and welcome back to my channel. First things first, don't mind my beautiful Band-Aid. I snagged like the side of my like finger skin at work. So Anyway, I'm sporting a band-aid today, but today we are gonna be sharing the contents of the September Simply Gilded Box. I'm very excited to see all of this in person. I don't think I... Well, I don't know if I've ever shown this it like on camera in its package not opened yet But it comes in this really pink, really pink. It is really pink. This pretty pink like foiled bubble-mailer. I don't know if it comes pink every time, but all of mine have been pink so far, but I don't know. It's kind of cute. Not gonna show you the other side because it's my address and that would be weird. Let's zoom in a little bit more here. All right, and this month's... Let's do that again.  And it's got some rose-gold foiling on it and like this kind of gem pattern and then on the back it says bright, brilliant, fabulous, and then all of the Simply Gilded stuff. It's got the little thing on the side there. So yeah, but I have seen all the sneak peeks except for the mystery item, so I don't know what that is. If you don't want to see the mystery item, like please stop watching now. I gotta say, this box I'm like the least excited about, unfortunately, but I wanted to keep going with these videos and I wanted to like share the love with you guys too because You know, here, everything's out. Whatever I don't keep, I always do an Instagram giveaway like after this video is up. So, I agree. All right, so let me grab the card first because it's like tells you what's all in the box. It's Your Gem September 2019 box. There's foiled journaling cards or a foiled journaling card. Sorry. Designer washi tapes, iridescent acrylic gem tray, Lux Quilted Velvet Pouch. There's three sticker sheets, a set of seals, a set of washi cards, an engraved gel ink pen, and then a mystery item. So let's start going through it. Here is the acrylic gem tray. Let's see here. I'm gonna move, I'm gonna move some things off of the cameras. Oh, interesting. Okay. So yeah, so this is the acrylic gem tray. Like I said, I've seen all of it before. It's like a... It's acrylic. It's not super thick, but I think this would be really pretty for, you know, like in your bathroom. If you want to put like your jewelry on it so you guys can see yourselves right now, so check that out. But again, this totally is not my jam, but if you guys have been watching my videos for a while, you already know that. But I think this is really cool for someone that would, you know, really like this stuff. So I'm not exactly sure what I'm gonna be doing for the giveaway for this video because I know it's gonna be the majority of the items. So I might gift a couple of these things to some friends and then do the other things online. I'm not really totally sure here. The next item... Let's see. What is this? Oh, I think this is the mystery item. So it's a little organza pouch and it's like a little, it's like a little gem. That's exactly what it is and it could, you know, you could put that in your acrylic tray. That's kind of a cool little thing. I don't know what its purpose would be besides to just look cute, but that is that. And then we've got the... Are these the, what is this? Oh, this is the set of washi cards. That's what it is. I can't talk today. It's been a long day. I just got home from work. All right, so here are all of the washi cards. This one is a really pretty foil. This one says shine bright like a diamond. This one is just, you know, like a little cluster of gems and then this says love your heart in a gem and this says precious with like the little emerald cut gem and then you've got the signature. Oh, it's hard to see. You've got the signature bow from Simply Gilded as well. All foiled in the rose gold and then it all has that kind of crackled gem overlay as well. So those are really cute and then, oh, this is the journaling card, right? Yeah, foiled journaling card. So this has the rose gold gems on it and it also has this like overlay. And I know she said like don't pick it because it can come off.   But this is kind of a fun thing for people that really like iridescent stuff. I think it's just something really different, I think for her shop. So we move along here to some of the stickers. So there are three sticker sheets. And then I think I see the seals in here too. So let's check her out. Yeah, so here's the seals. I'm definitely keeping the seals because I like the seals and the seals just work really well for like gifting and envelopes and stuff. I'm just I'm obsessed with the seals. They're really nice. And then we've got the sticker sheets and OK, so we've got some kind of bigger sticker sheets here. I really like these, the like the gem ones. I don't know, I might want to keep this sheet. Oh, or maybe just this sheet because it's got the gems here. I don't know. I might need to keep a couple of these sheets because I'm normally not a person that keeps the sheets, but you just you never know with me. And then you've got your Monday through Friday or sorry, Monday through Sunday, lots of other fun things. And, you know, just there's some holographic foils and rose gold foils as well. So yeah, I think I'm going to keep I think I'm going to keep these two sheets. I'm putting them in my keep stash. I don't know. I don't know what's going on, y'all. And then we get to the pouch. It is a velvet, like kind of like smushy, like with a lux quilted velvet pouch. And I got to tell you velvet on my fingers, like for some reason, I just don't like it. I know we all have like, you know, texture issues and issues like that. But I'm like, oh, but so I'm definitely going to part ways with the pouch just because that the inside is really nice. But yeah, so it comes off like way more red on camera, but it's more of like a deep berry kind of a color, like a deep raspberry. Anyway, but it is like smushy. So you could even put like, I think you put like electronic things in here, like chargers and stuff like that. OK, so let's move the wash tape for a moment and let's zoom in because we're going to do some close up thing. How much eggs? So this is the pen for this month, as always, I like to write on the back of this card and it is rose gold. I really, really like this pattern. I don't like the rose gold, but you know what, I might just keep it. And the purple is really nice. The kind of like gradient is really nice as well. It's just something different. So this is black ink, but not that long ago, I bought some blue ink little doodads from the Simply Gilded site. So I can change this over to blue ink if I prefer. So I might do that, I'm not sure. All right, so let's take a peek at all of the washi tape. First up, we have, whoa, let's let's refocus our efforts, everyone. OK, so first up, we have the famous bows. They are supposed to be a little bit different. So this one is like to me is like a little bit of a deeper purple where this one just has like a little bit of like a sheen overlay.  So I will be doing this in the giveaway for sure. I mean, they're cute and I like the theme with the box. This one just isn't my jam, but that's all right. And then we have the Simple Line bow. And I love me a Simple Line, but y'all, I can't get in with the bow situation. I wish I could because this would be right at my alley, but I like a plain Simple Line. So this one's I can't remember what it looks like rolled out, but it was, you know, kind of a purple. I think it was more of like a watercolor purple, if I remember right. So there is a little variation, but this is super cute. And I know everyone has been going a little nut so over the Simple Line bows as well. So hopefully one of you guys that really love this will get this. And then we have the gems and OK, my assumptions are correct. And I'll tell you what my assumptions were in just a moment. So this first one is a really deep purple with rose gold gems on it. And it's kind of cool looking. And then this one here is very similar. Well, maybe not so similar. This is a little deeper than this. Sorry, it's kind of hard to see. Well, I don't know. It's probably going to turn out fine on camera, but whatever. And then this has holographic foil on it, this one here. And I knew that this is probably going to be the only washi I'm going to keep. So I think that is what I'm going to do with this one. I'm going to keep this one and I'm going to put this one in the giveaway just because it's rose gold. I know I won't use it. And if I was going to use anything from this collection, it would definitely be this guy right here. So what I'm thinking about doing is at some point, I don't know when, probably sooner rather than later, is doing like a gem week and using some of these gems and possibly, you know, some of these other things and, you know, using some purples and pinks and stuff like that in a in a spread. That I think would be really kind of fun. But these will all definitely be in the giveaway. The giveaway is not going to be up when the video is up. It will be up on my Instagram. So my Instagram is right down below in the description box. So feel free to follow me there and eventually it will go up. So anyway, that is it for today. So anyway, I am going to say goodbye for right now. Thank you guys so much for watching. Like I said, there will be a giveaway going on on my Instagram page at some point and there might, I don't know, there might be a couple of little extra things in there too. Not totally sure if I'm going to do that with this box or the next one. But I do have a couple of other simply gilded goodies to give away as well. So anyway, that's going to be it for me today. I hope you enjoyed the video. If you get the simply gilded box, let me know what your favorite item was this month. These, these are my favorites. I think these are my favorites for sure. So cute. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and I will see y'all in the next video. Bye guys.


Hi and welcome to the session I am Deepika here. Let's discuss the question, find the intervals in which the following function is strictly increasing or decreasing 10-6x-2x square. Now we know that a function f is strictly increasing in an open interval a, b if f-x is greater than 0 for each x belongs to a, b and f is strictly decreasing in an open interval a, b if f-x is less than 0 for each x belongs to an open interval a, b. This is a key idea behind our question. So let's start the solution given fx is equal to 10-6x-2x square. Therefore f-x is equal to minus 6-4x and this is equal to minus 2 into 3 plus 2x. Now f-x is equal to 0 implies x is equal to minus 3 by 2. Hence x is equal to minus 3 by 2 divides the real line into two disjoint intervals minus infinity to minus 3 by 2 and minus 3 by 2 to infinity. Now for x less than minus 3 by 2 this implies our f-x is equal to minus 2 into some negative number and this will be positive. This implies f-x is greater than 0. Hence f-x is strictly increasing for x less than minus 3 by 2. Now for x greater than minus 3 by 2 f-x is equal to minus 2 into some positive number and this will be negative number. This implies f-x is less than 0. Hence f-x is strictly decreasing for x greater than minus 3 by 2. Hence the answer for the above question is function is strictly decreasing for x greater than minus 3 by 2 and strictly increasing for x less than minus 3 by 2. This is the answer. I hope the question is clear to you. Bye and take care.


Hello everybody. In this lesson, we're going to be taking a look at unions in my SQL. A union allows you to combine rows together, not like columns like we were doing before with joins, or one column is next to the other. And union allows you to combine the rows of data from separate tables or from the same table. It's up to you. But you do that by taking one select statement and using a union to combine it with another select statement. Let's see how this actually looks. So what we're going to do is right after the select statement, we're going to come here and say union, then we're going to go right below the union. And we're going to do another select statement. So we're going to copy this, place it right here. I said the demographics table. Just for example, we'll do the salary table. Now if we look at the demographics table, let's say we want to take age and gender. And let's go and take a look really quickly at the salary table. And let's say we want to take a first name and last name. We'll do first underscore name and last underscore name. Now let's go ahead and run this and see what it looks like. And let's pull this up. So as you can see, we have age and gender. That's from the very first select statement. And that's also the column names. But then we have all of the data for the age and gender. And then below, if we move this over a little bit, we have the last name and first name from the employee salary table. It's just down here. Now what I just demonstrate is that this doesn't always work for everything. You can't just combine random data together because this is bad data. We shouldn't have age and gender mixed with first name and last name. Really, when you're using this, you need to keep the data the same. So for us, we should take the first, I'll actually just copy this, the first and last name from the employee demographics as well. And let's run this. Now we have all the names from all of the tables. Now you may be thinking, where'd all the other data go before we had a lot of rows, but now we only have a unique row for each one. Well, by default, this is actually a union distinct. And if you remember, distinct is only going to take unique values. So when we're doing this, union is going to remove all the duplicates. And the first name and last name from salary overlaps a lot with the employee demographics table. So when we ran this, the only one that's actually somewhat unique to one table is that in the employee salary table we have Ron Swanson, whereas we don't have that in the employee demographics. Now, if we wanted to show all of them without the distinct, there is something called a union all. If we run this Now we're going to get all of the results without removing any of the duplicates. So if we were scrolled down, we're going to have duplicates in here. But we're just showing all of the results from this table and from this table. Now that we know how to actually use a union. Let's look at a use case. So let's go right down here and let's copy this. Why not And let's put it right down here. Now let's say in the employee demographics, we wanted to take the first name and last name where the age is greater than 50. And let's run this. There's only one person, but let's label them. Let's have a label. We're gonna say comma old. This person is old. And if we run this, it says first name, last name and old and we can even call this as label. And if we run this, the label is old. So Jerry Gergich is the only old person in this demographics table. Now, why are we doing this? Well, the parks department is trying to cut their budget a little bit. They want to identify older employees that they can push out. And they also want to identify high paid employees who they can reduce their pay or push them out to save money. So we just identified someone who's older who we're going to want to try to push out. But let's in the same output find people who are also highly paid. So now we can come down here. We can say Union. And let's do this like this. I need to spell this right. All right, Union. And let's take this. We're not going to be using this exact same query. But we actually need to pull from the salary table for the employee salary. So we also want the first name and last name. But let's say where their salary is greater than let's say 70,000. That's a lot of money. You're making more than 70. For sure the parks department is going to try to get rid of you. But for the label, we're going to change it to a highly paid employee. Now let's go ahead and run this. So now we have Leslie Nope and Chris Traeger. They're both labeled as highly paid employees. Now 50 I think is just a little too low. If I'm being completely honest, I think we need to change this and we should do a union and then add another select statement. Bring this down. I think the 50 is too low. Let's change it to 40. And let's add one more thing. Let's say and the gender is equal to male and then we'll go down here and say where the gender is equal to female because we want to separate this out. So we want to know who's the old man. Oh, that's actually old lady. This is the female one. And for up here where it's male will say old man. So we have three different select statements using two separate unions. We're selecting the first name and the last name in all of them keeping the data consistent. And then in our third column, we're labeling it either old man, old lady, or highly paid employee. Let's go ahead and run this. And let's look at our output. Now you may notice something really quickly that Chris Trager and Leslie Knope are an old man and an old lady and Leslie Knope and Chris Trager are both highly paid employees. So these people meet multiple criteria. So let's actually order by and then we'll do first underscore name comma last underscore name because we want to order by these to see. So let's run. And now we can easily see that Chris Trager is both of these. Donna is just an old lady. Barry is just an old man and Leslie is both an old lady and a highly paid employee. So now we can send this to whoever we need to send it to to make sure that these people get looked at first so that our job is still secure. The job market is tough these days. You got to do what you got to do. So that is how we use union. And let's just take one more look at it. There we go. So this is how we can use unions. It's kind of a real use case. I've done something very similar to this in my real job. But you know this is just an example of how you can have multiple select statements all combined or combining the rows using a union. In the next lesson, we're going to be taking a look at case statements.


You think of your childhood as having been profoundly unhappy my childhood wasn't wasn't Filled with any any great tragedies or anything. I think I think it was fairly normal Scott. What do you get? There's a lot of things that show us. He's he's containing his emotions maybe so he doesn't blow up and do something to his dad or whoever's there because If you got somebody that killed people and then eats them, there's a lot going on there From a psychological standpoint, and if you're trying to hold your emotions in Maybe he got to a point where he couldn't hold his emotions in for whatever reason or those people he would do that too
