Marco, how are you doing? I hope you're well. Out of curiosity, any skin care tips for acne in teenagers? Okay, I'm assuming you're male, Marco. Okay, first skin care tip that I can give every male out there. Okay, every male out there. And it's something that you... I didn't find out until a friend of mine told me this when I was a teenager, is when you're shaving, do not go against the grain. When you go against the grain, you get a closer cut, but that messes around with your hair follicles, right? Coconut oil, indeed. That's my next one. But the first one is when you're shaving, go with the grain, whichever way your grain goes, right? So never go against the grain shaving, even though it gives you a closer cut, even though people say, ooh, smooth, it's not good for the skin. The other tip I have is a tip that I... something that I started incorporating into my life, because of my partner, and that's coconut oil. I don't use shaving cream, I use coconut oil. And once I start using coconut oil, wow, what a world of difference. Amazing, amazing, right? It's... it's not soap, it's oil, your body loves it, and you don't use very much.  All right, that was at the beginning stages of me doing it, and I was like, oh my god, this is amazing.  So those are the two tips I have regarding just facial where you are shaving. The other thing is reduce sugar intake, right? Reduce sugar intake. Melzi, how are you doing? Hello, all. How are you today doing good? My skin is baby soft at 40s, I have no more nonsense. That's a little scary, brother. But coconut oil, yeah? I use that. What?  Learned that coconut oil trick from you years ago. Awesome, awesome. MTL, but and that you... it's nice, eh? Like, wow, how come we weren't told this? Like, really? By shaving cream, put it on. It's ridiculous, right? When you run out, you use soap. It's like, oh my god, don't use soap, right? Ronnie, how are you doing? Kitty cats are running around, I have him outside in the patio. Gang, we're gonna give everybody a few more minutes to pop in for the comic we'll call. Okay, Marco, awesome Chicho, thanks, I appreciate it. I'll try coconut oil. Should I put it raw on my face after I cleanse my skin in the morning? Maybe. That part, I'm not 100% sure. Maybe oil cleansing the skin might not be the best idea either, right? I don't know on that front, really. I used to get the bumps on the area where I shaved and as soon as I started shaving with the grain, they went away within weeks, within weeks.  You suspend a fortune and blaze, yeah, wow. It's crazy, it's crazy. Padre, Padre, Padre, how are you doing?    I'm gonna stick with my coconut oil. Okay, I'll stick with my coconut oil. Khalid, Khalid, having tried coconut oil before, I really should try it. A brother just do chicho coconut oil and there should be a shaving video coming. You should see a shaving video I put out with coconut oil. Okay, really, it's amazing. It's amazing. Anosol cream I used. My acne was very bad. Anosol cream, that's what anal cream is. I don't know this thing. Empty lipid. I was at a foot doctor recommend applying coconut oil or Vaseline to the sole of your feet to keep them healthy. I've heard that as well, Vaseline, but I don't want to stay, I don't want to use Vaseline. I know some people use Vaseline, but I don't want to use Vaseline because petroleum based. And I know some black people use Vaseline. I still have a very close friend and she would put Vaseline on her skin and I was like, you put Vaseline on your skin? She's like, yeah, it's very good for black skin. She said, I don't know, but that's what she did and she tested by and she had very good skin. Very good skin. Right? Cheryl, tip regardless of age, hold a very warm, damp washcloth to your face for 30 to 60 seconds before washing with a gentle cleanser. It helps open the pores and freeze up more oil dirt. Okay, okay. Here's another tip I got from my great grandma. Okay, I lived long enough to see my great grandma. Right? To appreciate her. I wish she lived longer. I wish I wasn't as youthful. I would have appreciated more. But my great grandma in the winter used to wash her face with snow. Right? She would go outside and she lived in a village and stuff like this. So clean snow.  So she would in the winter time, she would go and wash her face with snow and she had beautiful skin. I forget how old she was when she passed away. She passed away a long time ago, but she was very old. Very old. The souls of your feet are always neglected. They need love. They need love and foot massages. If you can get foot massages, get foot massages. Elder God for Hemera. Oh, that's what it is. I know. I know salt cream is for Hemera. And that's why you call it the anal cream. Okay. Good to know. Good to know. I had no idea. Oh, they get together going crazy. I just gave him some treats before the stream. They were like meowing, meowing a little bit. Cheecho, come on, give us some love. Marco, thank you, Cheryl. I'll try that as well. Cool, cool, cool. So the trick is to get the oil out, right? But it was very extreme teenager. Yeah, teenage man. Yeah, some teenagers extreme acne, right?  Absolute game changer. Absolute game changer. Okay, let's read that again. Tip regardless of age, hold a very warm, damp cloth, wash cloth to your face for 30 to 60 seconds before washing with a gentle cleanser. It helps open up the pores and feel a freeze up more dirt oil. Okay, I gotta try that. I'm gonna try that warm cloth on the face with phenomenal. Hello there. 10 fits drums, drums. I used to play drums. How are you doing? Yeah, that was that one sound. Padre, padre, padre, and then use cold water to close the pores again. Yeah, I've heard about cold water, right? And cold shower. End your showers with a burst of cold water. I don't do it, but I heard it's amazing for you. Bit monkey, how are you doing? Hope you're doing well. Gang, should we do a comic book haul? Let's do a comic book haul. I know spreadsheet, I didn't make a spreadsheet or anything. It's two lots I bought from the same seller. I've never bought from this seller before. Okay, and he didn't tighten up the box, the comics in there. So the comics have been banging around on their way to me. I'm not happy about that. But we'll crack them open to see what how they are. Crack, how are you doing? Thought I smelled something. Pulpy comic goodness, pulpy comic goodness. You're gonna love one of the lots in this. You're gonna love one of the lots in this. Oh my God, the cats are going crazy. The treats must have had a little bit of crack in them.


Hello, and welcome to this screencast on section 9.5, Lines and Planes in Space. This screencast is going to cover Planes in Space. Jumping right in, a plane P in space is the set of all terminal points of vectors emanating from a given point p-naught perpendicular to a fixed vector in. As we have pictured here, we see that the point labeled p is the terminal point of this vector, which is perpendicular to this given vector in. We can choose any other point on this plane shaded in gray, say over here, and this will be the terminal point of some vector that is again perpendicular to n. This picture is helpful to visualize what's happening, but what does the equation of the plane actually look like? Well, since n and the vector from p-naught to p are perpendicular, we know that the dot product of these two vectors must be zero. This immediately gives us the vector equation of a plane. So this is one way we can describe a plane. We can actually take this one step further to get another representation for the equation of a plane. Plugging in the components of the vector in, which are a, b, and c, and the components of the vector from p-naught to p, which are given by v's, and taking the dot product, we see that we get an equation for the plane in terms of x, y, and z. This equation is called the scalar equation of a plane, where we have zero is equal to this expression. To summarize our work from the previous slide, we have the following two ways to represent the equation of a plane. At the top, we have the scalar equation, and at the bottom, we have the vector equation. One thing to note is that if we have a vector that's perpendicular to a plane and any point on the plane, then we can use either one of these representations to immediately find the equation of the plane.


I'll just start my lecture in the old-fashioned way, as lawyers do, and it certainly brings up some memories for some people here today. As is fitting for a reconciliation work lecture, I would like to trace out where we have come from, where we are now, and then spend some time looking at the path before us. On a personal level, my journey to ANU, to my appointment as ANU's inaugural Indigenous postdoctoral fellow, has been one of struggle, but also one of opportunity. Aboriginal people face many barriers when it comes to succeeding in higher education. As the 2016 review of Australia's research training system found, Indigenous students are one of the most underrepresented groups in higher degrees by research. This is an area where much more progress needs to be made, and one where I believe ANU is taking the lead. As someone who left school after year 10 and returned to further study following a music career and four children, I appreciate the opportunities that further education can deliver and value the pursuit of excellence. The pursuit of excellence has always been a hallmark of Indigenous society, where men and women of high degree were universally valued and revered. Unfortunately, when the first fleet arrived on these shores a little over 200 years ago, they didn't value the Aboriginal knowledge of this ancient land. They were willfully blind to our sovereignty and our system of laws, and they labelled our men and women of high degree as primitive and savage. My personal journey into postgraduate studies took place at ANU where I completed a Master of Laws, something that would not have been possible without the support of the late Roberta Sykes and the Black Women's Action Education Foundation. Like so many Aboriginal students, I didn't have the benefit of intergenerational wealth to propel me on this journey. Education has left Indigenous people on the bottom rung of the socio-economic ladder. So I wish to acknowledge the Black Women's Action Education Foundation for the vital assistance they have provided to many struggling university students like me. My doctoral research on the vital issue of Aboriginal water rights, along with my passion for law reform and justice, played a key part in bringing me to the role of Indigenous postdoctoral fellow at ANU. My doctoral research was inspired by the experience of being an instructing solicitor on a landmark abalone fishing case on the south coast of New South Wales, an experience which heightened my awareness of how Aboriginal fishing rights were being trampled, and also by my experience as inaugural executive officer of the New South Wales Aboriginal Water Trust, an experience which convinced me that Australian governments were giving Aboriginal water rights little more than lip service. My doctoral thesis lays out the case, the illegal case, and human rights case for a paradigm shift in Australia's treatment of Aboriginal water rights. But I will get to this a little later. Right now I want to credit WEEH Stanner and his family for funding the Biennial Stanner Award, presented to the best academic manuscript by an Indigenous author. It was my great honour to be presented with the 2015 Stanner Award and to receive the assistance of AYSIS and Aboriginal Studies Press to turn the doctoral thesis into my book, Overturning Aquanullius, Securing Aboriginal Water Rights. The endorsement and support given to the Aboriginal Water Rights cause by the Honourable Michael Kirby, through his forward in overturning Aquanullius, and in his speech launching it in Sydney last year, was a great encouragement. Who could fail to be encouraged by the strong endorsement of one of Australia's greatest legal minds? In no small measure, because he is someone who I have looked up to throughout my legal career, Michael Kirby was one of the High Court judges who decided the landmark WEEH case, was the Foundation President of the Australian Law Reform Commission and has exemplified a passion for law reform and justice that has inspired many of us. Indigenous Australians are the oldest living continuous culture on earth. We didn't need DNA tests to prove this. Our creation stories and our ancestral relationships to all things on country inform us. Our culture of belonging to, of obligation towards and our practice of caring for country left this continent one of the most biodiverse places on earth. Our sophisticated approach to land and water management on the driest inhabited continent protected the vast expanses of fragile soils. They've guarded the continent's waters and maintained an exceptionally high biodiversity. How much things have changed in the last 200 years. Sadly an appreciation of Indigenous culture and an awareness of the impact of British invasion on Indigenous sovereign lands and waters is still sorely lacking. For many Australian citizens, residents and tourists, such awareness surfaces only when Australia Day, Survival Day, Reconciliation Week or NAIDOC events take place attracting local and national media attention with both negative and positive responses. These events sometimes provoke challenging debates. It seems to me that the national appetite for the inclusion of the first peoples in Australia's Constitution has waned. Further entrenching the political invisibility of Indigenous peoples. In yet another lost opportunity in the process of healing, the Uluru statement from the heart was pushed aside by the governments. Once again, Indigenous Australians had their hopes crushed and their rights dismissed. But there is positive progress in some quarters. Australia's states and territories are moving towards reconciliation through the inclusion of Australia's first peoples in their respective constitutions. It is a recognition that is deeply symbolic and necessary but one that stops short of including legal mechanisms for first peoples to exercise self-determination over the day-to-day management of their lives. A positive step, albeit a small one. Without a deep and meaningful understanding of this nation's history, I don't believe it's possible to achieve national reconciliation. There simply won't be the appetite or the passion for substantial change. In his reconciliation lecture earlier this year, Peter Yu described the failure of successive national governments and parliaments to forge pathways to recognise Indigenous peoples in the nation's Constitution as a failure of Australia's body politic. I wholeheartedly agree. It is useful, I think, to draw on the experience of other First Nations that have suffered the impact of colonisation, such as Canada. I was honoured earlier this year by the University of Victoria as their 2018 Distinguished Woman Scholar, which gave me the opportunity to meet some of British Columbia's leading First Nations scholars and community leaders. Canada, like Australia, was founded on the morally and legally bereft doctrine of discovery. And legal fiction, of course, Terranullius, whereby the British crown acquired radical title to the lands already occupied. This doctrine conveniently ignored the now-established fact that legal possession of these lands by First Nations peoples dates back millennia. Like Australia's First Nations, the First Nations of British Columbia have never ceded their sovereignty. Professor John Burroughs, a member of the Chippewa of the Nahuas First Nation in Ontario and the Research Chair in Indigenous Law at the University of Victoria Law School, in his definitive study and analysis of Delamouc versus British Columbia's pointed out that. It does not make sense that one could secure a legal entitlement to land over another merely through raw assertion. Professor Burroughs quotes Chief Justice Marshall of the US Supreme Court. The Chief Justice observed that any such assertion is an extravagant and absurd idea. A similar sentiment was expressed by the majority of Australia's high court in the Marbeau number two versus Queensland decision, which found that it would be repugnant to adhere to the doctrine of Terranullius. I can recommend a recent book by renowned Seth Quemic Visionary, First Nations leader and land rights campaigner, The Late Arthur Manual. In the Reconciliation Manfesto, recovering the land, rebuilding the economy. Arthur Manual says that all of the assertions and doctrines used by the colonial powers to assert sovereignty, when boiled down, can be reduced to, we stole it fair and square. Manual asserts that this theft of a continent is the crime of a millennium. In a reflection of the situation in Australia, statistics show Canadian First Nations people live an average of nine years less than non-Indigenous people. Their youth are three times more likely to live in poverty and more than ten times likely to be taken away from their families. Their suicide rates are five to six times the national average. Indigenous Canadians are less than half as likely to get a high school education and the incarceration rates of Indigenous women in Canada is eight times the national average and rising every year. Does this sound familiar? Arthur Manual writes that, Canada has apologised for forcing generations of Indigenous peoples into the sole and culture-destroying residential schools, but in reality it has only substituted jails for the schools in the forced institutionalisation of our peoples. One would need to be willfully ignorant to not know that the same dynamic is playing out here in Australia. Where racist attitudes towards Aboriginal people continue to persist. Just last week the ABC News reported that the registry of burst deaths and marriages in Perth had been redacting references to Aboriginal genealogy from birth certificates as part of its records digitisation between 2007 to 2015. Because they had deemed the Aboriginal reference on the birth certificates was offensive. The registry had adopted a practice of whiting out the term Aboriginal from birth certificates. There is much we can learn from Canada's successes and failures. Canada established its Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2008, which wound up in 2015 with 94 calls to action and the publication of a multi-volume report. A key conclusion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is that Canada's residential school system amounted to cultural genocide. It is not dissimilar to the impact of Australia's stolen generation policies we have here. You still hear commentators in the mainstream media claim that Indigenous children were stolen for their own good. The Bringing them Home report, which was tabled in federal parliament 21 years ago, concluded that Indigenous families and communities have endured gross violations of their human rights. They were an act of genocide aimed at wiping out Indigenous families, communities and cultures vital to the precious and inalienable heritage of Australia. Prime Minister Rudd's apology to the stolen generation 10 years ago was a very welcome contribution to the process of healing that started with Goff Whitlam and Paul Keating. But many of the recommendations in the Bringing them Home report are yet to be implemented. Some people may be surprised to hear that Aboriginal children are being taken away from their families in greater numbers now than in the 90s and that the rate of removal in the ACT is the worst in the country. The theme of National Reconciliation Week 2018 is don't keep history a mystery. And this is an important message. How can there be reconciliation if we as a nation refuse to face up to the truth about the impacts of invasion and colonisation on this continent? Face up to the truth about dispossession that the legislated theft of the land and water resources from the First Nations of Australia has left a legacy of poverty and disadvantage. How can there be healing without facing the truth? How can we forge a way forward together if we willfully choose to keep our history a mystery? Truth and reconciliation must go hand in hand. You don't have to look far to find some uncomfortable truths. The commitments made in Prime Minister Rudd's apology speech have been left to languish. When the report of the Royal Commission into the Aboriginal Death Syncucity was tabled in parliament 27 years ago, Aboriginal people were eight times more likely to be imprisoned than non-Aboriginal people. Today, it's 20 times more than that. The Honourable Justice Rothman of the New South Wales Supreme Court in his Honours March 2018 address on disadvantage and crime, given to the Public Defender's Criminal Law Conference, commented that the vast majority of Aboriginal people in prison are there on remand. In his reference to the High Court Bugme and Munder decisions, Justice Rothman argued strongly for the application of the Fernando principles, whereby the courts give weight to the serious social and economic disadvantage endemic in Aboriginal communities when sentencing Aboriginal offenders. In similar manner, the Gladue Principles, applied by the Canadian Supreme Court, also call on sentencing judges to give consideration to the unique circumstances of convicted persons, such as endemic poverty, substance abuse, lack of education and employment opportunities as a means to address the overrepresentation of Aboriginal peoples in the social justice system. In Andrews versus Law Society of British Columbia, 1989, the Canadian Supreme Court quoted the words of Justice Frankfurter in Dennis versus United States, 1950, that, there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals. Justice Rothman goes on to state that, it is clear that in Canada, in the United States of America and in Australia, the notions of equal justice are offended as much, if not more, by the equal treatment of unequals as by the unequal treatment of equals. Addressing the overrepresentation of Aboriginal people in Australia's prison requires the severe social and economic disadvantage faced by Aboriginal people to be addressed and that the influence of this disadvantage be given weight when courts are dealing with Aboriginal offenders, especially if the offence relates to summary offences. I believe there is no case for any person to be incarcerated for a fine default. The Australian Law Reform Commission's report on the recognition of customary laws was published almost 32 years ago and none of its recommendations have been implemented. We can and must do better. While in Canada, I learned that the national and provincial governments, especially British Columbia, were investing substantial funds into an Indigenous Language Revitalization Initiative, which was a key recommendation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, as well as human rights obligation and a constitutional obligation under Section 23 of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A similar commitment and investment is sorely needed in Australia, where the revitalisation of Aboriginal languages is an imperative. Language is the conduit for Indigenous laws and traditional knowledge. Another significant outcome from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is the significant moves by Canada's leading universities towards Indigenousization. The University of Victoria adopted an Indigenous plan 2017 to 2022, in which they have reaffirmed a commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for Indigenous students and developing initiatives and programs of education, research, outreach and engagement with an Indigenous focus. Similarly, Thompson Rivers Universities at Camloops adopted its Aboriginal Services Plan 2016 to 2019, in which it commits a priority for Aboriginal programs, services and initiatives that will improve the recruitment, retention and completion rates for Aboriginal learners. I am encouraged that ANU's Reconciliation Action Plan commits this university to building greater respect for Indigenous peoples within the university environment and institutional culture, providing support for Indigenous students attracting and retaining Indigenous interns and staff and consolidating ANU as the leader in Indigenous research of national significance, including building a critical mass of Indigenous post-doctoral researchers within the university. My personal experience at ANU confirms that these commitments are genuine. In the six months since I started here, I've had nothing but support and encouragement for my teaching and research, and that is segue into my Aboriginal Water Rights Research, the focus of the rest of this discussion. Existing Australian water policy is failing Indigenous Australians. When the Commonwealth and States formalized the Intergovernmental Agreement on the National Water Initiative in 2004, it was the culmination of a long process of an alienation, entrenching the invisibility of the water rights and interests of Australia's first peoples. Under the National Water Initiative, which provides the blueprint for Australia's water market, water can be bought, traded and sold by individuals, government or an entity, separately from land, under a market-based economic system. During this process, the powerful interest groups, farmers and irrigators, water-hungry industries, towns and cities, had their water converted into water property rights. But the water property rights of Aboriginal people were not catered for. The national water reforms had a huge impact on Indigenous people, extending and further embedding their marginalization from a crucial natural resource. In itself, this legal separation of water and land was an alien concept for Indigenous people, for whom water and land are innately inseparable, intimately connected to our sense of self and to Indigenous ontology and laws. Indigenous communities throughout remote and regional Australia continue to suffer poor water quality and inadequate water infrastructure, which impacts their health and quality of life. On this dry continent, with its highly variable rainfall, control of water has underpinned wealth generation. Since Indigenous Australians in general are the poorest, most disadvantaged people in Australia, lacking the economic means to buy water, and where native tidal water cannot be traded, opportunities for Indigenous Australians to participate in the water market are extremely limited. The Northern development of Australia raises concerns in a relationship to water access and use in the future. My research is focused on developing frameworks for incorporating Indigenous water rights into this national water initiative, that is, into Australia's laws, policies and regulations. I argue that there is a compelling case to incorporate a reserved water right for Indigenous peoples outside the consumptive pool to provide economic certainty for Indigenous peoples. Securing Indigenous water rights is an imperative. It is absolutely vital to addressing Indigenous disadvantage and is a vital step towards closing the disgraceful gap in health and wealth status. Indigenous water rights are a human rights imperative and human rights standards and principles must become the benchmark for water access, utility and use. As the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Social Justice Commissioner snated in his 2010 report, human rights are not just abstract concepts that exist in documents, such as treaties, conventions and declarations alone. They become meaningful only when they are able to be exercised. I believe that incorporating Indigenous water rights in the national water policy framework will not only give legal certainty to Indigenous water requirements and help build Indigenous cultural economies. It has enormous potential for flow and benefits to the wider rural and regional communities. In 2015 report, Connection to Country, review of the National Native Title Act 1993 Commonwealth, the Australian Law Reform Commission stated that if sustainable and culturally appropriate economic development is to occur, in many regional and remote Indigenous communities, water will be a critical component. While there is a strong legal, ethical and human rights case for Indigenous waters as a First Nations right, in practice securing this right will not be easy. I am sure most of you appreciate that there are powerful economic interests with strong political clout that can control Australia's water resources. As the 2006 UNESCO World Water Development Report pointed out, water is power and those who control the flow of water in time and space can exercise this power in various ways. Nonetheless, I believe the same political and social forces that overturned the legal fiction of Terranullius and brought about the incorporation of native title into Australia's legal framework are capable of overturning Aquanullius and spurring the incorporation of Indigenous water rights into our legal and institutional frameworks. My plea is to you is to put your energy behind the Indigenous water rights struggle. The cause is just and the time is right. Indigenous communities around Australia will welcome your support and history will acknowledge your contribution. Thank you. Thank you.


Hey everyone, it's Leanne welcome to Tuesday tea. Hopefully you have your tea with you I certainly have mine It's a bit chilly today here in Kelowna. Although I can't complain. It's supposed to come up to 11 degrees here tomorrow Sorry 11 degrees Celsius for our American friends. I don't even know what that is Anyways, it's warm for the beginning of March. So we're quite we're quite lucky here in Kelowna We're starting to think about getting the garden ready It's been speaking of getting the garden ready. It has been A linked in season for me. So the past five weeks I've done a ton of content around linked in a lot of it, of course as a springboard to my digital course called profile to profit Enrollment for that course ends on Thursday night and and then next week. We're starting a lot of content around personal branding in particular around How to deliver some of our branding messages? So I'm super excited about that Not that I haven't been excited this month because I love talking linked in and it's been a lot of fun digging deep into the guts of linked in so this is kind of sort of the wrap up to All of my linked in content and we're talking about the three strands that weave together to create a cohesive linked in Story, so that's what we're talking about today So this is shouldn't be confused with my master class which talks about linked in content strategies And I outline nine different strategies in that class There is still very limited room In my last master class, which is taking place tomorrow at this time If you would like a spot you can sign up at leanne colderwood.com forward slash webinar But this facebook live today is not about content, but rather it's about kind of i'm calling it They're strands and here's why i'm calling them strands of your linked in story is When these strands start you can breathe weave them together in a braid That's kind of the imagery and the analogy i'm using is you're weaving these three strands together into this cohesive beautiful beautifully designed braid Which becomes your linked in profile? So that's kind of why I I call it that is it just it really works well to bring those three elements together the three strands together so the first strand i want to talk about are The visuals that are on your profile and there's so many opportunities to incorporate visuals On your linked in profile the two obvious ones of course are your profile picture, right? But there's also that background photo or banner photo as you may hear it called These are prime pieces of real estate to hook your reader and draw them into your story So there's a number of different ways that you can design your banner But remember the the purpose of the banner is not only to be brand cohesive with you and your organization But it is also to draw them further into reading more about you But aside from those two obvious places where You have your visuals. There's visuals that flirt in and out of your profile from top to bottom a lot of people use Little emojis to kind of break up the copy a little bit I actually do that some people love them some people hate them It's a personal preference and what you think your ideal audience would Respond to but those emojis do break up the eye and Create more of a cohesive read Where you have your reader's attention and and it sparks a little energy in them I know for me when I see emojis and a couple of my colleagues Use them really really well. It really does It does it makes me happier and makes me feel better So you can start to use emojis in your copy either as bullet points or as dividers And it helps break up the copy and give your readers a bit of a visual element But the other visuals, of course within the copy themselves Is your featured section This is a section that falls right below. I should check where it falls right below Right below your about section. I believe And not everyone has The featured section, but if you have access to the featured section You've got access to create some and upload some incredible visuals Again to bring people into the story and what I love about the featured section Is these are your storytelling pieces. This is where you can link out to your website I'm linking out to one of my my my youtube channel With one of my featured pieces. I also link out to a pdf. You can link out to Blog post you can also link out To posts that you've created on linkedin especially posts that you feel got a ton of great engagement Or a linkedin article that got a ton of great engagement You can include that in your featured section. So that is another incredible way to use visuals on your uh your linkedin profile But there's also other visuals that you can include. So if you scroll down you can also upload media In your work experience. So again, it doesn't become this run on copy of Of words that people are going to get lost in but you're breaking it up by including some pieces some media pieces right in your work experience Um, so that's strand number one are the visuals now strand number two I've already alluded to it and I've kind of talked about it already, but strand number two is the copy So if you look at the visuals strand number one the visuals is being the hook strand number two the copy Is what the story is and you need to keep the story engaging From the beginning or you're going to lose your reader So copy starts right at the top Including the copy that you put in your background photo or your banner So it can start within the visual itself But the best the second best place to conclude that copy, which is a really great way to hook your reader Is in your headline And I know I I talk about headline a lot But here's why I talk about it a lot is I feel so strongly that this Is what really brings people in to read on further about you If there isn't anything compelling in that headline that speaks to the person that you want to talk to They will flitter off of your profile before even hitting your about section So you want to make sure your copy in your headline Is talking to the right people and using language that's going to Encourage and entice them to read on further about you Now the about section of course as you know, that's the big chunk of copy. It's 2000 words It's it's the best place to feature everything and anything about you But again, make sure that your kitchen sink in your about section Speaks to your community Don't just use the 2000 words to use them But if you have a strong message use every single word that you can I love the about section Like I said with the First strand the visuals the about section you have the opportunity To plunk in some of those visuals through maybe some emoji bullet points or some divider lines again Just to break up the 2000 Character copy and of course copy then drifts right all the way through your profile When they hit your work experience you want to make sure you're still keeping them in the story, right? You want to keep these people in your story right through the end and want them wanting more And that's what brings me to the third strand the third strand in my opinion Is the one it's the easiest to do But it is the most forgotten and of all the I I peruse linkedin profiles I may even peruse yours and I am I'm a stalker on linkedin To see what people are doing well with their profiles and where they fall short and I find a lot of people forget This third strand and it's so That's okay. It's the reason you are on linkedin is this third strand and it is your call to When you take that person on the journey with you through their linkedin profile You need a next logical step for them at the end of their journey And the next logical step is your call to action Now you might be thinking but leon, I don't even know what I want out of linkedin Nevermind think about a call to action that would make sense for my readers and I hear you It's one of the most common questions I hear about linkedin About how do you tailor your profile for just one purpose or one audience or one individual? And for a lot of us myself included it's not just for one person or one audience or one individual There's a number of audiences that you might be talking to And so your call to action it needs to resonate With each and every audience and if you can't find a call to action That would be logical the next logical step For all of your audiences in your network Then your call to action needs to be quite simply connect with me here on linkedin or Follow my content on linkedin or whatever that call to action again is So you can sprinkle your call to action Throughout your profile in a number of different places Um I've included my call to action Right in my background photo now if you look at my profile right now It's not actually up because I have a different Call to action which is the great thing again about the visuals So you can always swap them out So right now my call to action in my visuals Is to enroll in the linkedin course that I have Open for enrollment right now But when my course enrollment closes later this week My banner photo and my call to action will change to something different It's that next logical step I want the person who lands on my profile to take in order to engage with me So make sure that you're sprinkling call to actions throughout your profile Again, your background photo is a great place your about section is obviously a great place A lot of people will put their call to action right at the bottom of their about section Again, it could be anything from your email address to your phone number to Like I said to follow me on linkedin or connect with me on linkedin Whatever that cta is for you make sure you're weaving it into your story So that when people get to the end of the story They're not left wondering. Well, what's next? How do I engage with this person further? So you don't want to put all of that work in all of that hard work in To create these incredible visuals to weave this incredible copy And then leave them hanging about how to next engage with you or with your services So those are my three strands for your linkedin profile You've got your visuals your copy and don't forget your call to action And when you weave those together it creates a narrative that can engage your target audience Encourage them to take that next step with you And it's it's just a beautiful beautiful profile I love those profiles if I can see a profile that is woven those three together nicely It's just it's just a beautiful thing to see So would love to hear if you have any questions about the three strands of your linkedin profile Drop them in the chat. I know I'm talking really fast today And I'm sorry. I think it's because I'm standing up. I don't know if anyone else noticed but the My camera looks different because I'm actually standing up. I've gotten one of those risers on my desk and I actually feel Winded It's because I'm standing up, but I'm also very energized as well by standing up Um, so If I could talk about copy again for just a second it's that's obviously one of the biggest Pieces of your linkedin profile and probably the one that may end up tripping you up the most because you're not sure what to write Um, and I get it. I mean I've revisited my profile on a constant basis and I remember when I was first crafting my about section even when I made this Transition into personal branding services. It took me a full week to really land on what I wanted to appear In my about section on linkedin about my new services Um, and I do revisit these sections very often Um, again, that's another tip. I can impart on you is Your linkedin profile, uh can change over time Uh, it'll change as your skill sets change It'll change as your passions and talents change Uh, and it of course it'll change if you change positions in the industry. That's an obvious change for you so every three to four months Schedule some time in your calendar where you can go in and make those changes to your linkedin profile Again start from the very top and with these three strands You've got your visuals that you'll need to change the copy and potentially even your call to action There's a lot of outdated garbage on linkedin that leads back to people's former places of employment So if you are currently looking for employment or you've landed somewhere new Make sure your calls to action on your linkedin profile Reflect your new place of employment if that's where you want the people to go So they're not drifting back to your former place of employment So that's definitely key if you're looking for employment or you've recently switched gears In your career So i'm just going to look Everything looks looks and here's great. I appreciate that facebook user because yesterday I don't know if this facebook user was on my masterclass yesterday um But in setting up my new desk um Even though my audio was plugged in and all the settings looked right On my zoom and on my computer What else did I check on my uh system settings everything read for the correct audio and no one can hear me so it was eight minutes of scrambling trying to figure out because I might not be a tech geek But I am a fast learner and I know where to go if my audio is not working and I just couldn't figure it out So all I had to do apparently By the way, this is now another tip you can put in your back pocket If you think you've figured it out and you've MacGyvered everything on your computer and with your microphone And you still cannot figure out why people can't hear you on zoom Leave the meeting and log back in That's all I had to do So I left the meeting logged back in and but a big but a boom all my audio was working In fact, they probably had three sources of audio by that point because I was scrambling but anyways it was I appreciate Madam facebook user for telling me that you can hear me because yesterday People couldn't hear me very well Um, ooh speaking of hearing and this is about linkedin. I always bring it back to linkedin I don't know if you are aware. I have started using this feature on linkedin, but when someone messages When someone messages you on linkedin You can obviously type an answer in response and if you're using your desktop You have to type an answer As a response But if you're on your phone And you want to type or you want to send a response to someone who's messaged you okay? We're talking about messages here. We're not talking about Commenting on posts or anything So i'm just going to pick a random message. I don't know how if you can see this But when you go to respond to a message on linkedin if you look in the bottom right hand corner There's a little microphone and you can send them an audio response So i've been starting to do that a little bit more I can't take full credit for this one of my connections sent me an audio response What once and and now that i figured out how to do it Um, it's a great little touch. You talk about setting yourself apart from your competition Um, especially using linkedin messaging, which can appear spammy especially if a lot of people are sending those email messages um Try responding with an audio message And see if you get any I guess any engagement from that the engagement I get mostly from it is oh my gosh, how did you do that? So then I teach them how I was able to send a little audio response versus a written response Um, so i'm quite enjoying that for sure So yeah Thank you facebook user. Yes, it was you know when it happened yesterday Obviously stressful everyone gets stressed out when they can't get their audio working I think about the lawyer that showed up on his zoom call with the judge And the lawyer's zoom filter had him appear as a cat.  It's like oh, it could be worse. I could be a cat Um, but I wasn't a cat. I was just um, just didn't have my voice quite literally Um, but yeah once since we got the video there were the audio figured out I was able to fall back into my master class material and away we went so So it was fun. Uh, it was a great class. Uh, yesterday was a smaller class So it wasn't as long but my classes have been going for about An hour to an hour and 10 minutes with all the q and a Which has been great. There's been a lot of great q and a Questions about the course of course course, of course So questions about the course that is currently open for enrollment But also questions obviously about uh linked in and in particular about pages A lot of questions about pages Which is very encouraging. It makes me think, okay, you know, we need to talk about pages more Here's a place on linked in that a lot of people are not capitalizing on So either they're not capitalizing on using pages if Pardon me if they're an entrepreneur or they're a one-man show and they can have an organizational presence on linked in But the other thing is a lot of people aren't capitalizing on The great things that their organizations page is doing And how to I guess grow the brands of both of those entities. So When I get into a linked in series again closer to the summer, we're going to talk more about pages Because those are a lot of questions that came up yesterday As as as prosaic is even how do we even start a page? Where on linked in do I go? To start a linked in page So we're going to talk more about pages But going back again to the three LinkedIn strands that I wanted to talk about today I'm going to recap quickly if you're late for the call, but we're talking about how to weave your visuals your copy And your call to action And how we weave them together to create a compelling story through your linked in profile For many of us the linked in profile is your only piece of online real estate You know your facebook profile is your personal piece of online real estate But unless you have a podcast or a youtube channel or a blog or a website Which a lot of us as entrepreneurs, which means we're salespeople for another organization as an entrepreneur We do not have A piece of professional real estate on the worldwide web with the exception of our linked in profile So that's the other reason why i'm so passionate about ensuring that every single character that we write Every single visual that we upload every single piece of media Is relevant is because that's that's the only professional real estate we have Um, you know on the worldwide web So let's make the most of it and make the most compelling story that we can To keep people coming back to our little piece of home on the worldwide web So i'm going to wrap up with for today unless you have any questions. I'm looking at questions via What you call it stream yard because that's the app i'm using but i am going to just jump over into my facebook group and My oh, oh it was dino. Thank you for the comments dino. I see you now that those comments were for you on stream yard It just said that your facebook generic user, but you are far from generic my friends. So thank you for commenting on the video If you don't have any questions, I am going to leave you with those three strands today It's food for thought as you go through your linked in profile And as I mentioned if you want even more assistance and more personal touch Creating the profile of your dreams Profile to profit is currently open for enrollment Enrollment closes this thursday when it comes back in the summer It likely will be at a higher price point So if you're looking to save a little money as you work through your linked in profile in 2021 Now is the time to do it because there is going to be a price increase as we go into the new season Thank you so much for joining me on this facebook live. I hope you have an incredible week And please do stay in touch DM me if you have any questions about linkedin. I'm happy to help Thanks for watching everyone. Bye for now


Why not take a side here? Well, it's important that we understand what's going on here. I mean, obviously, workers in a firm, in the ports, for example, in this situation, they need to show flexibility. But on the other hand, what we need to see is the employers showing fairness at the same time. That's where we should be going with our industrial relations future. There needs to be some leadership shown by somebody.


Welcome to the public meeting of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Today, we're considering staff posed final rule to establish a safety standard for crib mattresses. It's an important rule that will establish mandatory safety standards for crib mattresses address hazards from a traffic, laceration, and suffocation. More than a decade ago, Congress called on the CPSC to protect babies by establishing standards for durable infant products. This is an essential step towards that mandate. Staff have identified nearly 500 instances associated with crib mattresses since 2010, with at least 139 deaths. This rule will ensure that all mattresses used by infants meet essential safety standards. Recently, we've heard from stakeholders about one aspect of this rule, the incorporation of existing voluntary standards for the aftermarket play yard mattresses. We approve this final rule today will be requiring industry to meet the standard, except for itself, the voluntary standard. I'm aware that an ASTM subcommittee is examining this voluntary standard and considering changes to it. While I understand that CPSC staff and other stakeholders have concerns about the current proposal, the process is going forward as it should. If this rule comes final today, it will not mark the end of CPSC's participation, that effort at ASTM, nor will it set a current voluntary standard in immutable stone. Our process is clear. If the ASTM subcommittee makes changes to its standard that improve safety, the commission will be able to incorporate them into the rule through the statutory update process. I welcome any changes and updates that advance consumer product safety. We should start by providing a baseline protection for infants and children. We have several staff members present at this meeting. With us are two members of our staff who briefed us on the proposal in November, Hope Nestero, Program Manager for Children's Products and Mary House, Attorney of the Regulatory Affairs Division of the Office of General Counsel. And also in attendance are Mary Boyle, Executive Director, Dwayne Rae, Deputy Executive Director for Operations, Dwayne Boniface, Director of the Office of Hazard Advocation and Reduction, Austin Schlick, General Counsel, and Alberta Mills, the Commission's Secretary. Each commissioner will have five minutes for questions. After questions are complete, consider any amendments. Once again, I remind everyone that's perfectly permissible to voice your personal opinions on illegal issues. It's not appropriate to discuss any advice given to us by the Office of General Counsel outside of executive session. Illegal advice to receive must remain confidential. And finally, I've asked all panelists, commissioners and staff, to meet your computer if you aren't speaking. We experienced feedback in the last meeting, and just to make sure everyone is watching can hear the proceedings. With that, turn for questions for staff. I don't have any. Commissioner Biacco, do you have questions? I do not. Thank you. Commissioner Feldman. I do not have any questions, Mr. Chairman. I did for the record, I want to say I received a letter last night from Alan Schoem, who is representing Dream on Me, an industry stakeholder in this space, with unanimous consent. I'd like to enter that letter into the record, but I have no questions at this time. Without objection. Commissioner Trumka. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have no questions. Thank you. With that, we turn to take any amendments to the proposed formal role. I don't have any amendments. Commissioner Biacco. I do not. Thank you. Commissioner Feldman. I do not have any amendments. Mr. Trumka. I have no amendments. All right. Seeing that there are no amendments, I'm just going to move to the, I move to approve the staff's final draft, final rule for career of mattress safety and to direct publication of the same in the federal register. Is there a second? Back in. Thank you. I'll go into the vote. Commissioner Biacco, how do you vote? I vote yes. Commissioner Feldman. I vote yes. Commissioner Trumka. I vote yes. The yeses are four. The nos are zeros. The motions are approved, the draft final rule for career mattress passes. The final draft rule has been approved and shall be published. Oh, I'm sorry. I realize that I didn't vote. So I should say I voted yes too, which is why I chatted myself ahead of myself. So I vote yes. Four yeses, zero nos. The motion to, which honestly, you could have approved it without me, but I do want to vote on this as well. The motion to prove the staff's final, draft final rule for career mattresses passes. The draft final rule has been approved and shall be published in the final register. Now I just want to give everybody 10 minutes for commissioner for any closing remarks. I'll just take a couple of minutes and just say thank you to everybody, commissioners and staff. I'm really pleased that we completed this rule today. Crib mattresses are a long-lasting product that families use and reuse for many years on end. And a rule governing their safety is long overdue with this vote for ensuring the standards governing the safety of these durable infant products will keep up with the times. Babies shouldn't face hazards in their cribs. That place should be the safest for them and play our germane safe, whether a parent uses the mattresses sold or the ones that buy in the aftermarket. And today's rule is an essential step forward. And I look forward to working with everybody going forward to keep this as strong as possible. I do want to thank Joyce Davis, the president for keeping babies safe. Joyce's petition was impetus for this rule and her dedicated advocacy on behalf of her son, Garrett, is inspirational. And all this, again, I want to thank all the staff for their work and for the commissioners for working together. With that, Commissioner Biacco, do you have a statement? Yes, thank you. This one was a close call for me. I'm not thrilled with some of the data that was relied upon. I also remain extremely concerned with this rule as I have with some of the other infant rules that we have passed particularly recently, that we are and we know that parents do make adjustments even though they know what the best sleep patterns should be. They know bear is best. They know the ABCs of sleep. They do take steps in their mind to make babies more comfortable by adding blankets and pillows. And those things in a play yard or in a crib, as we all know, increase the risk of harm. And so I do hesitate and worry that some of the rules that we pass, including this one, do push parents into making decisions about their children that are not necessarily in their best interest. I'm also a little bit concerned that we have, it's my understanding anyway, that we do have another voluntary standard at issue either, and I'm not clear on the votes, but either today that ballot was being taken or it's going to close within a few weeks. And I voiced concern that maybe we should wait on that, but having thought about it, I hope that the voluntary standards organizations start picking up the pace. A lot of the things that this particular commission has addressed recently have been around for way too long. And I think the voluntary standards organizations, they do a lot of great work, but I would encourage them to get these updates and get these voluntary standards in place sooner rather than later. That being said, I do support the rule and I am concerned that for baby safety. So that's all I have. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I do agree. If there is best to get that message out there, we do figure out how to do that best. And thank you. Mr. Feldman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanna take a moment just to thank staff and my fellow commissioners for everybody's hard work on the rule today. I think this is an example of the 104 process, working as it should, what a standard that is strong and addresses the safety issues with a durable nursery and infant product. I wanna echo Mr. Chairman, the statements that you made at the top of the meeting today with respect to the ASTM process, what we're doing here, contemplates additional work within the ASTM subcommittee and there is a process that's spelled out in statute within section 104 to make adjustments as necessary and within the scope of that law. And I think we will continue to engage, that's my hope and expectation and make adjustments as necessary and when appropriate, hopefully sooner rather than later. But I think what we've done today here is good and puts a 104 rule in place that's going to improve safety. We're all better for that. So thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Feldman. I agree. Mr. Tromka. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, thank you to staff and the other commissioners, everyone who worked on getting this rule in place. I've got two young kids and I can't count how many times I've woken up in the middle of the night and felt this, I felt compelled to just go check on them to make sure they're okay. Parents worry about whether their kids are safe, particularly when they sleep. And even parents who know all the rules of safe sleep and we know to put babies on their backs on a firm flat surface with nothing else in the space, but even then we worry and we don't always know why. We also make some assumptions about the things that we shouldn't have to worry about, just viable assumptions. A lot of parents assume that the governments check the safety of anything sold as an infant product, particularly an infant sleep product. But for too many things, that's not true. And until today, it wasn't even true for the one thing we tell parents that it's safe to have in a baby's sleep environment, mattress. But with today's passage of the final rule, we've come one step closer to meeting parents justifiable expectations that we're ensuring the safety of the products in their baby's room. And I'm very glad we did the right thing. I also just wanna mention how much I agree with Commissioner Biakko's sentiment that we're not gonna wait and have our pace dictated by anybody else. We need to move quickly and I hope others keep up. With that, Ms. Chairman, thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. And I would say once again, thanks to staff and all my fellow commissioners for their work on this rule. And with that, this concludes today's decisional meeting of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Thanks, everybody. Thank you.

And on to sport. For the second time in six years, Novak Djokovic is halfway to a calendar year sweep of all four Grand Slam titles after winning the French Open for a second time on Sunday. The 34-year-old dug deep into his reserves of resilience to hit back from two sets down against Great Steffano's City Pass to win 6-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 and increased his Grand Slam Tally to 19. That makes him only one behind the men's record 20 held by Rafa Nadal and Vota Federa. And there is nothing to suggest the world number one will not surpass his two career rivals. He can already claim something neither of the two have after his win over the 22-year-old City Par made him the first player in the professional era to win each of the four Grand Slam titles at least twice. This kind of scenario in the last 48 hours I mean probably ranks the top three all-time achievements and experiences that I had in my professional tennis career. You know going through four and a half battle with Rafa on his court and and then bouncing back after not practicing yesterday and just coming in today with as much as you know the recharge batteries and energy regained to fight another another battle of four and a half hours against City Pass who was you know playing in his first Grand Slam finals and it's always of course a bit tricky because you know you're playing for your trophy for your first Grand Slam trophy but you don't have much to lose so I knew that he's going to probably start off very well which was the case. I believe yes I'm able to to play for titles like this despite my loss today I have faith in my game and I very much believe I can get to that point very soon I was close today and every opponent is difficult there's like there's a small difference between the player I played today and the ones from before but I think with the same attitude and the same if I just if I don't downgrade myself I see no reason for me not to be holding that trophy one day.
