excuse me TLO what's pop we all wrote twitch we are but you could leave a like comment subscribe turning a post notification bells now let's continue to grow the family for Chicago to the UK if we do go live you happen to miss it this is where all the highlights from that live will be we also got the patreon man again I said this is a list of everything that's on there the list is not complete there are more things and there are multiple shows starting up right now and we also got the discord you feel me now let's get into this video man cuz I've always wondered this like cuz there's like almost no automatic cars in the UK which I mean you know to each their own y'all know I drive a Honda CBR 1000 RR manual bike but I cannot drive a stick shift car I don't know it's just not clicking for me well how to do this I'm stalling out at every possible chance simple let's get into this conquer driving I'm in a fairly typical streets Richard let's take a look at what people are driving here is a Ford fiesta and that is a manual let's take a look at this mini across the street and I did look both ways although the camera didn't before across the road days and that is also a manual is that a boat in somebody's front yard not gonna look at this fiesta because I just looked at that one don't need to look at two fiestas let's go and have a look at this Citroen DS3 instead is that a manual or an automatic also a manual now there is a Mercedes C class down there but look in the van look in the van I believe that is automatic because it's the e-model which means it's gonna be hybrid I'm gonna have a quick run just to confirm yes C350e just with a bike rack on top get over it so that you've never been a bike up there is going to be an automatic this is a much more expensive car and it's also still fairly young being five years old yeah five do you mass Richard all petrol and diesel cars need gears some change gear automatically for you and in others you have to change gear manually yourself all early cars were manual and the automatic gearbox didn't start to become widely available until the 1930s and 40s or at least widely available in certain parts of the world but that's did it just randomly get that footage like he was out and about and you'd like perfect time 80 years ago why is the manual still so popular today and in some markets such as America the automatic has been the norm for some time now in fact in some states you can actually pass your driving test in an automatic and be allowed to drive a manual I can only guess this can be allowed because there's so few manuals that it's not a major safety concern but in the UK most small cheap cars are manual also did you know in America when you go take a motorcycle driving test to get your license you can take it on a scooter and you don't have to take it on a motorcycle which is weird to me like that don't even calculate so if people in the UK could pass in an automatic and then drive a manual we would have somewhere between 500,000 and 700,000 new drivers each year passing in automatics with no manual experience taking to the road for the first time in their manual and in a country that has a population of only around 67 million that's a lot of drivers who don't know how to control their car thanks that could be quite chaotic in the UK the manual gearbox is in decline in 2010 20% of new cars sold were automatic and back then that was considered a lot by 2018 43% of new cars sold were automatic but now nearly 60% of new cars sold in the UK are automatic so although new drivers are still opting to pass their driving test in a manual over 90% of driving tests are manual the automatic is becoming the norm so why has it taken so long for the automatic to start the takeoff in the UK well it's quite simple traditional automatics with torque converters were big heavy and inefficient that does not bode well with Asian cars in the UK right that makes sense we primarily use Asian cars and European cars however in America their cars are already big bulky and inefficient they have big 5.7L at the 8 which they call a 350 cubic inch with loads of torque so having a less efficient gearbox doesn't make as much of a difference and gasoline as they call it over there is much cheaper so having the convenience of an automatic makes more sense because the negatives aren't as noticeable however if you were to put a traditional automatic and say something like a 1.1L Ford Fiesta from the 1980s it's gonna drive like you've left the handbrake on protect your privacy with I like when people like break it down like this because I wasn't even thinking like that I was just thinking like y'all just like y'all manuals but it makes sense when it's put in real perspective it's gonna drive like you've left the handbrake on but in the early 90s or 2000s something started to change it was out with the traditional torque converter planetary gear automatic and in with the robotized manual yes automatics were no longer really automatics they were actually a manual but with a robot changing gear for you so that got rid of the disadvantage of the automatic being less efficient and bigger and heavier they're almost the same size and same weight only disadvantage was the price normally it added around 1,000 to 1,500 pounds to the list price of a car and they worked well in small cars with small engines as well therefore opting to have the extra convenience of the car changing gear for you was no longer such a problem well it was actually convenient and then the automatic started to become popular and Japanese manufacturers started to use something called a CVT which stands for continuously variable transmission they work well with big engine cars and low powered small engine cars the only trouble is is how they sound many people don't like the fact that it actually sounds like your engine is staying at constant velocity whenever you put your foot hard on the gas it kind of goes and in fact in one of my videos I made a mistake of calling it a constant velocity transmission just because I was so used to hearing that constant velocity of the engine they work well they are efficient if you drive gently don't worry about it but if you want to put your foot down they're not very nice so the reason why it's taken so long for automatics to become popular in the UK is simply because the technology to make a lightweight low powered car which is most of the cars in the UK automatic yet still drive in a decent way has only become widely available recently but does that mean you shouldn't bother learning manual you should just learn automatic because all cars are going to be automatic soon well the manual is going to be here for a bit longer than you also man city driving in America like big city driving when you're in a manual is brutal on your foot like like switching gears from like one first gear the second gear the neutral to like you know I'm saying like in city traffic I'm talking bumper to bumper traffic like it's a lot may think they're going to be sold up until 2030 minimum when the petrol and diesel van comes in and that van essentially bans manual however that may be delayed wait y'all wait what they're gonna be a petrol and diesel so everybody's gonna be forced to drive in the automatic say the van happens in 2030 oh that's here in America they doing that too in California they did that as well that's why everybody's going electric now okay okay yeah then those cars are still gonna be on the road for 10 to 20 years after that so the manual car will still be popular for quite a while yet getting a manual license does give you the freedom to drive whatever car you want however of course learning automatic is easier but is there another advantage wait stop stop you're going to a manual license so when y'all go to the DMV is a manual license or it says automatic license automatic license with it not allowing to drive in the manual or is it all just about the money it's not just about the money it's about the experience if you are brought up around manuals learn to drive a manual it's fun subsequently got good at driving a manual and live somewhere where you're not constantly in nose to tail bumper to bumper traffic see what I'm saying like that bumper to bumper traffic is not not very good for manuals that's why it's in America man big cities like it's not a lot of manuals you actually have access to some relatively quiet roads with a half decent speed limit you may also enjoy driving a manual it's not guaranteed of course not everyone does it's not everyone's cup of tea but there are plenty who do and as a result the great British country roads the manual has stayed strong for years even though realistically newer it's always a cyclist somewhere the economy and how much people learn in this country means that automatics aren't really out of the question it is a bit of a choice now I could be driving down this road in an automatic but I know from experience I won't be having as much fun there is a sense of joy from the achievement of achieving the perfect gear change he's right cuz when I'm on my motorcycle I feel that sense of enjoyment because I'm doing all that extra stuff opposed to when I'm in like a regular car I'm like just hurry up and get what we're going the downshift rev match the heel and toe rev match under braking the downshift rev match the heel and toe rev match under braking and kissing the red line although you can do that in an automatic as well of course drive responsibly and that's part of what makes driving a manual so special I didn't break the speed limit there but I enjoyed myself a very passionate about this have automatic will shoot you up to very high speeds very quickly without you doing much at all which leads you wanting to enjoy the speed as opposed to the involvement so therefore driving a manual enthusiastically allows you to have fun whilst being safe because there's something else to enjoy of course manuals aren't for everyone some people just prefer automatic so I know both some people like auto some people like manual a lot of people like manual for the same reasons I do and many people like automatic because it's easier and not really enthusiastic about driving they just want to get from A to B whoever you are doesn't matter enjoy your car well I hope this video help like the paddle shifters to understand why manuals are still so popular in the UK if you think it does please give the video a thumbs up and check out conningwood and confused in the description if you're a learner driver and want to ensure yourself on a friend or and fire the link at the step you promo man I'm glad that like button for sure this is very informal it reminded me of a lot of things that's going on in the car world taught me a couple things I feel it man till I leave it like comments it's going to turn your post I'm gone


So we're just integrating the pipe into this little pool that we've got here, and as long as that can come up above the high form of the pipe, the system should self-start. One of the good things about this design is it doesn't need like proper earthworks, like we won't need to pour any concrete or anything. Basically, for Scotland, we've not had much rain, so the water level is quite low. If we can assimilate, get it all stirred up, get the turbine plugged in, run it through, make sure that it works in principle, and then come back up some rain, which we'll hopefully have in the next couple of days, and run it properly. I'll try that, see what happens. Still going. Yeah, it's not a full siphon though. It needs to be like the whole tube is gushing. We've still got air in there. We feel it blowing out. Yeah, it's running. There's no air in that at all. It can rest in a rock. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. It's got the weight. Yeah, it's good to shift it off to the side for flood levels, because when it is high, this just washes straight over. So any kind of kit sitting there would be at risk. It's quite nice to have this bit of land here where we'll set up the test load. It's quite neat, this location. No, it's good. I think that's a good run. Just test the intake a bit, and then get everything fixed up and secure. Yeah, get a filter in place. And plenty of water. We can then test it and that'll be good. Yeah, and then the water flow should keep most of the leaves off. I mean, ideally, we'll see. And then, yeah, there's not much bubble in the water by the time it gets there. Lots of stuff should move faster. I think we're able to shot. Great. Full power.  I think we're good to go with that now. I think. It's going to go every... Well, yeah. All right, since it's got the plexi on it, the back and sides should hopefully kind of sort of self-clean with the water flow going past them. Here's my hope anyway. There's so much surface area that, like, it doesn't need to be that clean, really, to have enough intake. Yeah, this is a much better spot. Like, the water's just so much... Yeah, it's always going to be carbon. And an extra meter ahead or one hour, however much should be good as well. That'll do it. Ah, yeah, well, we can just lift this out. That's a five-minute from now problem. Let's go check the flow. Yeah, that's proper. Now, like, there's no problems with, like, hatching the rocket and getting the sites and going or not. Like, that's completely tough, and no air as well. So I'm going to swap out that runner. So I made up two more runners. And discovered, like, these angle grinder cases are, like, the perfect small transpo caddy. So this one's more blade steeper pitch. I feel like that's going to be less efficient, but I'll give it a go. This one is basically identical to the one that's been in there just without the plastic ring around it. Hopefully there shouldn't be too much weight off it, like, if the water's in 3-4.  You're right. Yeah, that was me last time. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a warm day. How's the water? It's okay, mate. It's all warm. You've got to change clothes, like, near by. I'm not part of it. I'll, like, give you a shake here. Yeah, it was an interesting train ride. It was, like, that train was up to the waist. Are you going to wire it up first? Um, let's just get it going like in the circuit and see what happens. Okay, good luck. But then, yeah, after that, I'll put a load on it. All right, Tucker in. No, it's moving. Well, that, unfortunately, answers that question. No, these are not strong enough, as is. Okay, so take two with the steeper pitched nine-bladed fan, which is probably weaker than the other one, if anything. I think, well, hopefully, the previous one was just snapped, was, like, just a shitty fan, basically. But I have no guarantee this one isn't as well. I'm just going to tuck it in and see what happens. So, the highest reading. Seams it. But the steeper pitched fan will bolt lower. Or speed higher torque. It might have just been lower, efficiently. So the second propeller also exploded, but weirdly not until the last second when we turned off the water. It was spinning about 60 volts up until then. That was probably five. It might have lost some blades, or there might have been some friction in the system. And then as soon as we killed the water into the path, like, all the blades are gone. So it's almost like turning the water off is what sheared them. So I'm going to now chuck on what we had originally, which is the ring-reinforced blade. It's going to be a lot stronger. But the problem last time was that a little stone, a couple of little stones just got sucked in. And basically, this is supposed to be flat. That's all been ground in by the stones grabbing in on there. So I'm going to take out this innermost ring of plastic gear. Hopefully I'll give it enough clearance to that with the finer mesh screen up the top. Hopefully mean that it can happen again. And this should be a lot stronger and hopefully hold up. So I'm going to put this in place. I'm going to do another power test. And then I'm going to leave this running for some days and weeks to see what happens. And then reassess, basically. And I think I'm going to get a Seriva fan with the same shape and not a lot more expensive, but a lot stronger. It's like fiber reinforced. Hopefully that will hold up. And I'll just get some better standard fans which are a bit stronger plastic. I think the ones I got were a bit too cheap. And it just couldn't take the load. But hopefully a less cheap, less cheap one will do it. OK. Let's chuck her in and see what happens. What's that? 50 volts, 2.5 amps. So it's 125 watts right there. That's not bad for like 10 or 5. That's 50% of your open circuit voltage. And that's generally where the maximum power point sits. 121. I'm not unhappy with that. That is for room conversion. So 125 watts is not bad as a starting point. It's less than the 200 I was getting in Berlin with a few reasons for that. Mainly that in Berlin I had 125 millimeter pipe before the turbine and 200 after. Here it's only 110 and then 160. Also the hoverboard wheel that I'm using as an alternator here turns out to be only putting out about 42 to 45 volts DC rectified per thousand RPM as opposed to the Berlin one which is doing the more standard of about 55. And the liquid rear stat I was using wasn't quite conductive enough to pull the maximum amperage to max out the power curve. So we're still cresting that curve with that measurement. And so the next day I go back, I will tweak that and the other optimizations I've got in mind including a vectorizer for angling the flow onto the turbine so it vortexes and spins the water onto the blades rather than just having it go through straight. I don't know what that's going to do. Maybe it'll make it better, maybe it'll make it worse. I'll find out. But so the next video will be that last 5, 10% efficiency and power extraction as getting the system sort of honed in on its sweet spot. I'm a little surprised that the fans blew up like they did. I have used them before and they've held together quite well. I think it was maybe just because previously I've had them on turbines that have about two and a half to three meters of head. This one has about like four and a half. So notice the extra pressure just sort of crosses the threshold of what they can survive. I will experiment with ways of making them stronger and I've also ordered a server fan which is basically the same thing. It doesn't even cost that much more but it's just a lot stronger plastic basically. So I'll be trialing those the next time I go out to Glasgow as well. A few of you have been asking about the tutorial when that's coming out which is good. There's that much interest in it. The answer is soon basically. Currently I'm updating the wind turbine tutorial based on the data that I'm getting off the rooftop installation here in Edinburgh. And as soon as that's done basically I'll launch straight into the 3D animated step-by-step tutorial for this. That will be on the channel and on the opensourcelotech.org website. And I'll do another video coming out soon on the wind turbine and then the water turbine. And so that's basically it. So I hope you enjoyed the video. If you have any questions comment them here and I'll get back to you. Also you can email me directly through the opensourcelotech.org website. My email address is there. And like, subscribe. The usual stuff. You know what's up. And I'll see you in the next one.


Project management expertise is becoming increasingly important in academic research settings as it helps teams complete projects more efficiently and effectively. At Duke University, project managers have been employed to support clinical and preclinical translational research team science. These project managers have played a key role in helping teams achieve their goals and successfully navigate complex projects. They have also helped to increase the success rate of translational team science and system biology, big data studies. Additionally, project managers have provided valuable insight into the training needs and requirements for project leaders working in academic research environments.

Hi, my name is Kim Stockham. For the last four years, I've led corporate communications for Expedia Group right here in beautiful, dynamic Singapore. But I'm in Aussie and I went to the University of Newcastle. I studied at BA followed by a DFAD and I finished in the 90s. And I'm really, really proud to be part of the alumni. And in Singapore, actually there's quite a dynamic and fun alumni group that I've been really lucky to get to know. So I'm a proud Nova Casterian. And I think the foundations of Newcastle Uni is that it gave me really good friendships. And I learned a lot of skills and tactics that I've been able to use throughout my life and in different communications jobs. I've had a pretty long career in communications. Last year was very exciting for me. I went to New York to receive a Global PR Award for my work in communications. And that really topped off a career that has seen me do all sorts of things from consumer communications to issue and crisis communications, corporate communications and really so much more. Today, I work in a really tight-knit group of people in a part of the business called enterprise communications. And we work on some of the most complex and confidential communications for the organization. Given Expedia Group is one of the largest travel companies on the planet, you can imagine the scale of the work that we do. And I love it. I represent APAC. I get to work across quite a few different audiences, internal comms, high-level media relations, partner communications and social media, everything in between. And part of the reason I think I can do that is because of the BA, because I moved between so many different subjects and I learned little tidbits of information along the way that ended up being very helpful to me. In communications, one of the most powerful things you have in your toolbox is to be able to spot a great story. So great storytelling, I mean, it can be taught, it is taught, but once you know the tips of a great story, you should always be looking out for it. And if you work for a company, then you are also making sure that the stories you find are helping to reinforce some of those company values, company priorities and bring to life the people behind your organization because no organization is really an organization. It's a bunch of people at Expedia Group where a group of thousands of travellers who care passionately about travel and want to get people where they want to be. It's exciting. One of my very favourite things about the University of New Castle is its motto, I look ahead. It's something that I've often reflected on throughout my life when you've had a struggle and you just think, come on, keep going Kim, keep going. It's a sort of pep talk. But I think it's really relevant today. So as we all face the challenges that come with COVID-19, there's really never been a better sort of North Star motto to think about this idea of looking ahead, being the person in the room that can be optimistic, having confidence that we can get through this and sticking to your guns when you know that there's a really important communications task and you can deliver on that task. So COVID-19 has changed a lot of things. It's affected all of us in ways I can't even imagine. But for the travel business, it is virtually stopped. We've really had our wings clipped and while people can't get to where they want or need to be, that's been very challenging for, like I said, one of the world's largest travel companies. But it has meant that communications has had to take a very important role, be that communicating with travelers and helping them make new plans or change old plans or cancel their plans to get information quickly, that's directional, help our partners through this path and provide them with information that can help them find some green shoots of travel again. And most importantly, maybe for me at the moment with my focus is internal comms.  And so COVID in a way has been a strange gift for communications. So given the challenging times, I really thought that maybe today I would just give you a few tips that give me inspiration and hopefully they work for you too. And so one of those things is this little saying that says hold on tightly, let go lightly. And that talks about the moment when you are sort of championing something, working hard on something knee deep in something. And then circumstances change. And the let go lightly is is when you pivot when you move when you change tack, because something has changed, or maybe you have changed. That is very powerful in times like COVID when you may have been going down a business track or a communications track or having a budget, and everything changed. It's the let go lightly, look up, as we say it Newcastle, uni, and look forward with optimism. When it comes to communications, one of the most important things you can do now is be truly authentic. Or if you're working with your spokespeople, make sure they're truly authentic. You know, we are all human, we all have faults and flaws, we all have things to learn. So bringing that through in your communications is going to be incredibly important. And for all of us, when we feel most uncomfortable in a situation, I think it's good to remember that when you're most uncomfortable, is likely the opportunity you have most to learn. When things get rough, there is another saying I like that talks about it tests the strength of your anchor. And so you can only be a great colleague, a great friend, a great member of your community if you have sort of strength and resilience. And to help build that I would say get lots of sleep, eat well, move, stay connected. And don't lose sight of the big picture. I keep coming back to that idea because it's really important, that big picture of optimism. And also, if you work in a company really understanding the values, and the purpose, and the north star for your organization, and making sure that everything that you do is helping that organization be successful, save costs, get rid of inefficiencies, whatever that may be, you want to be part of the solution, you want to be a positive part of a team and someone that people frankly want to work with. Another piece of advice is to stay curious. And if you work at a tech company that won't be new advice to you. It's basically just saying ask questions, be vulnerable, think of new ways of doing things. If there's a door jar, go through it. If the door is closed, find a new way in. It is this idea of lifelong learning actually.


Controls are important to take into account in a VR experience because the devices that people are using to control their experience can be so varied. Here we have a set of VR controllers similar to an Oculus Quest or a Rift and we're showing how the various controls accomplish various things within Mozilla Hubs. The keyboard equivalents are listed at the bottom of the signs. When designing your experience, make sure to account for fine-grained motor control as well as broader stroke, larger movements. Being able to control your speed or your turn increments are a good example. There is a lot of research and development currently into VR controllers that you may have never considered, not just for assistive devices, but also for controls that give a unique experience to specific apps. Locomotion Vault has a great resource for this. You can view that in the motion room. For controls that support hand tracking, this can be a huge boost for accessibility, allows for things like sign language, communication of emotions like a wave, pointing in direction, and other signals to users. And don't forget about haptics where it's supported. The vibration from some controllers can alert people to when they've hit a wall, when someone is talking that may be off screen, or when something is generally happening in a VR experience.


What did I gain out of the speechcraft you can see there is light here in this room But I am glowing and that is what I have gained because I'm so excited that I have been able to pass on something to others was self-discovery being a part of the speechcraft project itself was Leadership in its highest sense. There was support from a lot of the members Everything is hard before it is easy and Just like that our speech crafters who once found it hard to deliver a speech has come out Challenging themselves to become better versions of themselves every single day And don't think that our journey is complete here as a speechcraft. There are other platforms We can take it as a postmaster We can join the clubs This is a really it is a great platform Everybody has ability and you know, they know, but this is like we can organize You know how to be a good speaker what I found here is it is a platform Where there is always positive vibes, you know all the people they are always Encouraging and they're always and I found the smile in all the faces All the team members everyone I'm really grateful to have you all giving so much support Imparting knowledge being patient with us and making us good speakers. It's a very good platform to improve our self And you know we all all like diamonds only the thing is that we have a dust on it So someone have to come and remove the dust and obviously the diamond will sparkles


If you want to get a politician to change the subject, ask them how they're going to deal with the federal debt. That's what happened when I asked Vivek Ramaswamy what he would do to cut spending. He said he'd focus instead on super-charging the economy so that we can grow our way out of it. We've grown at more than four-plus percent GDP growth for most of our national history. If we get back to a three-handle, three-point something, actually most of those fiscal problems are completely gone. Since 1970, annual GDP growth has averaged 2.7 percent. So what happens if Ramaswamy becomes president and is actually able to unleash economic growth that pushes the U.S. economy to average 4 percent annual GDP growth for two full terms? Would most of our fiscal problems be completely gone? Not even close. The projected deficit would be cut almost in half, but the government would still be running red ink every year and the federal debt would just keep growing.

Hi, I'm Dee Stevenson from Venice, Florida. I'm an ophthalmologist, CEO, CFO, Chief Bottle Washer at Stevenson Eye Associates. And I have been in practice for 28 years. And what I'd like to talk to you about today is, you know, as we're learning about ophthalmology and surgical procedures, we have to decide, you know, what kind of implants we're gonna use and what ones fits best in our hands. And, you know, it's easy for me to sit up here and tell you this is how to do this and this is how to do that. But the thing I like to tell residents and students as always, you need to find something that works in your hands, learn how to use it and learn how to use it well, know what your outcomes are and learn how to perfect it. When I'm doing surgery, I do a 1.8, I'm a mixed surgeon. I actually don't do on-access surgery. I'm a 12 o'clock surgeon just because that's what I like to do. Making a capsulotomy here, I try to make it about five and a half millimeters, 5.25 to five millimeters in diameter. I use a free form, make it with a cystotome. You can use a utrata forceps. There's some other procedures that you can do that are all manual. Of course, there's FIMTO and I'll show and share with those capsulotomies and techniques shortly. If we go a little, I'm gonna speed this up just a little bit so we can get to the implants. Again, I'm just showing you in real fast motion here, just the capsulotomy, the hydro dissection and hydro delineation that occurs after you've done the capsulotomy. And I do a divide and conquer technique. I still to this day do a divide and conquer technique. I have to give that credit to Dr. Harry Grabo who taught me when I went in private practice 28 years ago. Once the INA is performed, I think it's very important that we polish our capsule for any kind of implant that you use. And I use a capsule polisher that is diamond dusted and I try to dust the posterior capsule as well as the anterior leaflets. The lens I'm gonna show you here is the LI61A0. It's an aspheric lens and it has to be, your incision has to be enlarged to 2.8. It's an inserter that I call, it's an inserter, not an injector because you can stop it at any time. So I'm opening the wound here to 2.8 with a metal blade and the inserter is really nice because it kind of blossoms and the lens comes out in a planar fashion. So I'm gonna just show you the LI61A0. And it comes out, it put the leading haptic in the bag and then just rotate it and pronate it and drop the trailing haptic into the bag and remove the viscoelastic both in front and behind the lens. This lens has been on the market for a very long time and it's very reliable, refractive-wise. Postoperatively there are really no any surprises. But it's a very nice lens to learn on because it is so predictable in the bag, predictable. You can put this lens, also it's three-piece, you can put it in the sulcus, you can capture the optics. So there's a lot of things that you can do with this one particular IOL. So this for many years was my go-to lens. However, it is a silicone lens but it is an aspheric optic so it's a very, very nice lens and very stable in the eye. Thank you very much. That was the video on insertion of the LI61A0. I wish you good luck and enjoy the good outcomes you'll get with this lens. Thank you.


I mean there's a simple answer to the question in one way from my point of view which is that there's plenty of evidence out there that when you ask people about things going wrong with their relationships one of the top reasons they give is arguments over money. Absolutely and we know what the key stresses are on relationships and money worries is one of those big key stresses but it's what does that mean in the internal workings of that relationship in the couple dynamic. I think there's another side to it as well which is that money isn't just money money money stands for all sorts of things one of the things that myself and a colleague at University College of London did is we did this really big survey and we've got 109,000 people who told us through a questionnaire things about their emotional and psychological relationships and money. One of the things we're interested in is what did money stand for for them and we we were broadly able to divide people up into three kinds of groups. One group was people who saw money primarily about security it's about putting stuff away for a rainy day it's about making sure you've got enough for your pension. There's another group a very different group for whom money was all about freedom it's about the freedom to do whatever you want the freedom actually to tell your employer to go hang and I don't have to care about whether I keep this job or not because actually I'm okay financially. A third group saw money as primarily about power and status. You know these are the ones who who were very keen that people saw them in a flashy car or that they were able to get their way because they've got lots of money. Money also about love. Money as the giving and receiving of love about generosity. I think if we're thinking about what does money do in relationships yes money trouble can cause the stress but actually the very different ways in which people see money can I think be also a source of friction. No absolutely and I think what what we found I mean we did this stay called the enduring love study and it was about how couples sustained their long-term relationships and people were mentioning especially women were mentioning arguments about money were one of the biggest things that they disliked about their relationship but what was interesting is once couples work together to resolve a financial problem then their relationship seemed to be positively impacted from that kind of economic deficit in a way and they had this idea of the relationship horizon where something would change later on one partner would get a job their financial situation would get better and it was you know against all adversity they were stronger and I think that's that's really interesting about how many worries actually can be a positive thing when couples work together as well people often are in relationships with people who are quite different from them sometimes that's what's attracted them in the first place and the issue is not are you different but do you find ways of talking about it and negotiating your way through that you know so if you've got someone who sees money is all about security and their partner sees money is all about freedom to do what they want then that you know that in a sense is a recipe for lots of arguments and lots of difficulty but like anything in a relationship it's it's there to be negotiated through and obviously you know that's usually gendered you know we you know we know that the pay gap if we're looking at in terms of parenting households as well that it is more likely to be the woman the mother who stays at home and then the disparity in income and quite often resentment that you know I used to have a good job and now I don't and so suddenly I am dependent on the income coming in from the primary breadwinner that you know that is I agree and I think this that there can be some quite toxic combinations you know see if you've got somebody for who sees money is mostly about parent status and they're the one earning all the money in a relationship you can see that that being quite a toxic combination what was interesting for me as well was when people were talking about this what they then saved or how do they rebalance the scales when you know when you've got such different in difference in finances one woman was actually talking about was she was withholding her intimacy she was withholding the love that she could give because it was the only way of retaining the power she felt she hadn't got so it's interesting how money can be matched by something which isn't money and it's I think it's it's not just about couple relationships you know if you look at wider families you know often often the the death of a parent can be an occasion when that trick is all sorts of arguments between siblings about money entangled in all of that is all sorts of stuff about oh well they always loved you more than me and it becomes a proxy for that absolutely and it turns that the old adage you know money talks completely on its head it speaks volumes and the volumes it speaks about the emotional currency of money rather than the actual monetary value if you think also when the times of year post Christmas people have spent a lot of their money and we know the divorce spike is post Christmas but that isn't so much money that's about the intensity of the occasion the huge cultural expectation that we're all going to spend all of our time together and it's going to be quality time but it's in forced quality time that we're used to not spending together most families spend vast amounts of time apart and suddenly they're in this contained environment so I'm not convinced it's entirely about we spent all the money and we realise we haven't got any by the end of January I do a lot of work around financial capability financial education and so on I think in that world one of the things that often gets easily forgotten is that yes of course there tend to be less money troubles where people are able to manage them but that's is almost completely drowned out by the fundamental issue which is when you've hardly got any money that that is the in itself the cause of the problems and I think that one of the things that I suspect is really important is that in relationships where you're really only just managing day by day or really struggling to manage or not managing that the money becomes a focus of those difficulties and those stresses in ways that it doesn't otherwise but it also gets tangled up with all of the other stuff I wanted to do the best for your kids if you've got children and just not being able to meet the ideal that we have as the cultural norm which is the generosity of parenthood but I mean what was interesting about the study the qualitative study we did was that people were saying that the emotional value that the couple relationship value of small gestures and they were very dismissive of grand gestures so forget the big you know interfloor bouquet it was the very small flower that was picked from you know a garden and I think that's where money is you know you can really see that it isn't the problem yes I completely agree if you've got none actually it's just hard work when you're having to think about how can you feed your family but it isn't money per se is the dynamic of the couple which is the problem I think that not only is money inherently very emotional how you manage your emotions makes a real difference to how effective you are financially you know for example one study we've just completed shows that people who are bad at managing their emotions will often find other ways of doing it well we know also you know that people do do things like comfort eating and turn to drink or drugs or but one of the things that people also do is turn to things like buying buying impulsively you know you know paradoxically people in money difficulties will often cheer themselves up by going out shopping we know that people who understand their own emotions and other people's emotions are are actually better at handling their finances what was interesting for me is the way that people were talking about their relationship so we had one couple for example who would talk in a very clear-sighted way about it's like having money but you have to put affect you put your emotional wealth together you you put your energy into a relationship and then when times are really hard when things are lean emotionally you control on that you control all of that so I think people are making very sophisticated associations between money and economic value of things but there's also a burden of social expectation that people are dealing with and they're constantly being flooded with actually very clever emotionally manipulative advertisements for example about you know to have happy life you've got to have this you could have that I mean I think that's true but I mean if we think of some of the other adverts where it's just about this cultural expectation of everything's going to be rosy and everything's going to be great and what was interesting in our research project the enduring love project was that people were saying all media representations of rubbish we don't relate to them at all we just have no affinity with these because these aren't real people what we do on an everyday basis is we just get on with life we muddle on and what works in a relationship isn't those things that can be identified in the cultural sense what works in a relationship are those things that only that couple know for example so the very very small gesture and I think that's what's different about the media it's sort of it's out there but it doesn't in a way impact on the personal relationships in the way we might think it does so I'm not sure about the advert well there's lots of evidence they're quite successful in getting people to buy stuff this idea that came up in our research of people equating money with love if you're not able to spend money on your family on the people in relations with somehow you don't love them enough I do worry about the way in which as a society we seem to be constructing our expectations of the role money should play in a relationship where I and colleagues started with all of this we weren't studying emotions at all we were studying or certainly not relationships we were studying the risk-taking behavior of traders in investment banks and what staggered me was just how much time these traders spent talking about their emotions and the emotions of managing these very large sums of money you know so this this idea so I think you know you studying relationships myself studying the way in which people professionals and ordinary people behave in relation to money have come from different directions to this idea of just how important emotions are in all of it yes no absolutely and the cultural value that is assigned to emotional value so definitely we agree I don't think we were supposed to oh dear


for the Office of Imports and Valens, Sabrina Keller. I will provide a public disclosure next and then provide an overview of the beta pilot. Go over the timeline, your expectations and consideration as an importer. I also preview the IT DAG working group who has been working with us already for the past several months. This is a group of nine importers who have volunteered their time to work on the IT development aspects. Then I will cover some of the support CPSC will provide and the resources we have before I go on to discussion and a Q&A session at the end. This meeting is just a welcome meeting and onboarding session. We will not go into too much detail about the registry or the message that per se we're gonna keep it high level, but in the next several weeks over the next few months, there will be more training sessions and more materials sent out to all participants. So welcome again. And I will pass the baton to Deputy Director Sabrina Keller for a few remarks. Well, thank you, Arthur. Greetings, everyone. My name is Sabrina Keller. As Arthur mentioned, I am Deputy Director of CPSC's Office of Import Surveillance. I would like to start with just a few words of introduction. Firstly, to warmly welcome you to this initial meeting of the e-filing beta pilot volunteers. And equally important to thank you for being committed to consumer safety and for partnering with CPSC on this important initiative. This is such a critical project for our agency. And I would say for American consumers overall because your candid input during this pilot will help ensure that we get this right and will ultimately contribute to public safety. So we've got a great team here. We're always available for any questions or concerns as we work together on this. And with that, I will turn it over to CPSC's e-filing program specialist, Arthur Laciak. Back to you. Thank you, Sabrina. And I don't think I could have put it any better. I just want to reiterate how important this project is for our office, for our agency, including for the commission, our commission who will manage the agency. They are very excited about this project and very excited to have all of you participating with us. We hope this turns into a great success down the line. Just one note, please hold off all questions until the end. And when you do have a question, please raise your hand and I will call on you and then you could unmute yourself. We do have close to 100 participants on today's call. So I do want to be able to manage who's speaking. So a quick public disclosure because this is a project that we will be presenting on to the public, a list of all participating firms we made available to the public and later published in a final report upon the completion of the beta pilots. USC, the main participants here are the importers, but they are allowed to work with their brokers and after third party collaboration for this project. So they and any of their third parties would be their names as participating firms will be later made public. Second, participants will be requested to provide feedback and share experiences in regular current group meetings attended by all beta pilot participants. These meetings will be scheduled beginning in about two weeks or so. And throughout the summer, we will keep you apprised with all. We as in my team will keep you apprised developments across the next several months. I would talk a bit more about the timeline later on today. Every meeting will be published on CPSC's public calendar and anyone from the public can attend the meeting as a listen only attendee. We will also be recording most meetings including this meeting for individuals who are unable to attend. However, only beta pilot participants will be able to speak. That means that anyone who wants to attend just as an attendee will only be able to listen. They would not be able to speak up during that time. Participants during these meetings will not be asked to share any confidential business information. The only feedback we request is in regards to e-filing in regards to the e-filing system including the message that the product registry and anything related to that. And participants will be requested to respond to surveys from CPSC staff. These surveys would be sent out prior to the beta pilot and throughout the pilot and at the end. So very quick overview. Beginning in 2020, October 2023, excuse me, CPSC is conducting a six month beta pilot test to test the e-filing system in order to test the electronic filing of product certificate data. We expect that e-filing will be fully implemented by 2025. So this beta pilot, as I mentioned, will consist of at this point, approximately 40 importer participants and their industry partners, which would include their brokers, labs, software developers, et cetera. Any partner that the importer feels is necessary to assist them on this project. Again, the importer participant though is the main participant and we will be fielding most of our communications via the importer. The beta pilot will test the e-filing system and participants will provide feedback to CPSC to inform the final system development and rulemaking prior to full implementation. My team is currently working concurrently on a rule that we will propose towards the end of this year and finalize after the beta pilot finishes, we will take the results of the beta pilot to help inform our rulemaking. And once the rule is also proposed, you as a participant or just a member of the public will be able to provide public comment on that. And when it comes to e-filing, there will be two means of doing so. The first is the full PGN message set, which is to provide all certificate data at the time of import. The second is the use of the product registry and the reference PGN message set. That is to pre-file your certificate data in the product registry, which will be a database that CPSC staff will maintain. There you would retrieve a registry ID and you would submit that into the reference PGN message set. We find this as a best option if you bring in the same product and repeated shipments using the same certificate. Using the second option, you file the certificate once and then file a reference to it in the message set. If you choose to do the full message set, you have to repeatedly provide the same certificate information for any repeated shipments. We have broken down the participants into three roles. The main role, of course, is the importer. They will be the ones who will be coordinating with their customs brokers and we've identified some kind of tasks and responsibilities for you. We ask that you during this process and over the next few months, consider your internal business process development to be able to incorporate the beta pilot and e-filing. We ask that you set up a business account when the time is ready in the product registry. We also ask that you kind of review your processes of managing your certificate data and how you plan to submit that data via the message set. You will, of course, work with your brokers in many of these tasks, but the broker's responsibility would be to review the e-filing infrastructure development and testing, also have some role in the data management and also will be filing the data via the message set. As I mentioned in the previous slide, there's two ways to file. We are building this e-filing system in a way that is very versatile for all the types of business operations that we expect to see in all the different types of, or all the different depths of relationships we expect importers to have with brokers. So in the product registry, you will find that there is ways to provide permissions from the importer to their brokers or other trade parties to provide them permissions to file this data on their behalf and certify on their behalf, but the importer would be the one who will manage the permission levels. They could either provide most access to their brokers and other partners, or they could limit the permissions and they would be responsible for filing the data into the registry, or you could opt out from using the registry to file the data using the full PGA message set by submitting that data via your broker. When using the registry, you would also have the option for bulk and EPI uploads. So we are truly creating a system that is adaptable to many different business operations and throughout the process, we will ask for feedback on the e-filing system as a whole. Third, I have here our self filers. In short, a self filer is gonna fulfill the role of importer and broker. So I'm not gonna repeat the bullets listed here because they are the same as to the left.  Below is a timeline of key activities for beta pilot participants throughout May of 2024. So I'm gonna start at the bottom where you see this little rocket ship. That is the launch of our e-filing beta pilot which is expected on October 1st. The pilot will run for approximately six months. So we expect that to end in or around April of 2024. During that time, you would be testing the e-filing system to its fullest potential using actual live certificate data that you own, submitting it via your broker through the message set that do this and through CVP and then comes to us and we will be using that data to improve our risk assessment and targeting. During that time, of course, you would provide us feedback and we'll be there available to answer any of your questions especially if you run into any hiccups or have any concerns. Well, let me address what we have already developed. On this timeline, you don't see the earlier months of 2023 but during this calendar year so far, CPSC staff and its developers with assistance from CVP have been actively working on IT development with the assistance from the IT Development Advisory Group. This group is a working group of nine importers who have volunteered to assist in the IT development. So their assistance essentially helps to establish an integration print that CPSC is developing to be used by all beta pilot participants. They already previewed and provided feedback on the e-filing product registry features as well as the PJ message set. They will be the first to conduct cert testing of the PJ message set and test registry and the feedback and lessons learned from their testing will help inform us over the next few months and prepare us for the beta pilot so we could train the remaining participants to use the e-filing system. Going back to this timeline, in the month of June and through July, we have been focused on development integration and the e-filing application preview and cert testing has been open for the IT DAG group. The cert testing is testing done with dummy data. No real data is actually submitted and it's just a means for the developers to test the PJ message set. At the moment, the message set is available for testing with CVP. However, the product registry is not yet available and will be available later in June or the second week of July. And then at that point in August, we'll begin live production testing with that group of nine where they will submit real certificate data into the system. And in the months of August, September as you can see below in green, that's when the remaining participants would be onboarded. They would begin their system integration and testing and participant training on this call. There's, I said, parking between the importers. There are fewer brokers because most brokers have multiple importer partners participating in this. Some have already been participating in the IT DAG. So if you are an importer who has a person a different quarter in that case, they will also be able to help onboard you into the e-filing system and throughout the training and onboarding process will be particularly focused on working with each and every single one of you, working on your specific needs of onboarding. We will have training sessions throughout the summer. We'll provide SOPs and business education material, but we'll also be open to have one-on-one meetings between you and your broker so we can help iron out any kinks that you may have and work with you through the system. Your expectation as a participant for the summer 2023 can be broken down into these four bullets. The first is to determine which HTS codes that you would file for. On our wage at cs.gov.com slash e-filing you could find a list of HTS codes of approximately 265 codes. However, these are not all the codes you filed the certificate under. These codes is only a subset that we would want to test in the pilot and that is based off of our targeting HTS code list. However, there are many products that require certificate that may fall into other HTS codes. You are able to and we actually highly encourage you to file certificates under different HTS codes if you find that necessary for that particular product. We do wanna see the whole universe of which HTS codes would be affected by this e-filing requirements. So by filing for any HTS code that has a certificate, requirement will actually assist us in knowing which HTS codes we would flag once e-filing is fully implemented. I mentioned about HTS flagging. We will not flag during the pilot because it is limited to only the beta pilot participants and flagging is a universal flag that would hit every importer, importing under that HTS code, therefore we don't wanna cause confusion and flag all and begin flagging importers in advance of the full implementation. We will hold off wagging until that point. We also will have a final draft to get there. Early on the webpage, we do have a almost completed version available. Later this summer, I will release the final version prior to the beta pilot. But for brokers and self-filers, you should review the Katerin order prepare your IT team for integration. What I can say is that the Katerin that's already available online is pretty much complete. The only, throughout the summer, I expect to make some small tweaks and changes, but nothing substantial that would affect kind of the core of the implementation guide. Third is the required e-filing data elements. I won't read through all of them because these are the same data elements that are already required on certificates as of today. And in the registry and in the message sets, you would have the option, you would also have the option to file additional certificate data elements, which of course will all remain optional. Those data elements will help you or intend to help you keep track of your certificate data, but it also will help us in kind of informing us how best to analyze the data. Of course, besides the seven data elements listed here, the remainder will be optional, so it's up to you if you wanna provide that. And as I mentioned, the product registry will have an option for a CSB bulk upload and an API framework. The product registry itself will be a web application for user interface for individuals to submit certificates one by one. There will be features built in to make the registry very user friendly, which includes notifications to do list, copy and coding functions, editing functions, et cetera. But the CSB bulk upload and API framework will provide you the ability to submit multiple certificates at once into the registry. We will have additional training regarding the registry later this summer, so please hold tight on that. We also want to provide some considerations. These are lessons learned from the Apple Pilots, and so we would like you to consider these bullets as part of your internal planning efforts. For one, please consider the software update requirements implementation. You would want to identify requirements and timelines to integrate systems and access the necessary certificate data and to engage software teams early because software updates to existing broker systems can take several weeks to implement. For internal business processes, during the beta pilot planning development phase, you want to anticipate the on-born internal meetings and internal planning activities that have a higher time and resource requirement, the beta pilot test should require a lower resource burden. At that time, we mostly land on brokers and their software developers, and once the beta pilot test kicks off, some of the burden will be on the importer, but we do ask that you plan in advance for this. We also ask you develop plans to process the coronation data and mapping a certificate data system and associated timelines, and to identify resources and established timelines for gathering, applying, and reviewing certificate data. This really comes down to how the certificate data is already managed on your end. I've anecdotally learned from importers that some already have an electronic format, others have their certificates in a PDF. E-filing would require that the data be in an electronic format, so of course, if you have an PDF, there would be more work there necessary in order for you to translate that data into a usable format. However, that product registry will assist you on that, so you don't have to create a new system on your end. A lot of software development is regards to the broker's interfaces using the automated broker interface, connecting it from their systems to CBPAs. And we also ask you to consider competing priorities that may affect resource availabilities and timelines. Excuse me. Throughout the next few months, and the beta pilot will be here to provide you support. Later this summer, and prior to the actual kickoff of the beta pilot, we will have an official kickoff meeting. Today is just a welcome meeting. We also have one-on-one meetings with participants who address individual concerns and questions, and these meetings would be between you and your broker and any other partners that you require to have on these. We would also provide technical support throughout the next few months in the beta pilot who will provide training, business education material, SOPs, videos on the product registry and the message set, and we'll be here to answer any of your API development questions. And lastly, in regards to the message set, I'm repeating myself. We will be here to answer any of your questions and to troubleshoot. Brokers also have access to their CDP client reps who can help you with specific questions directly related to the message set. That is not to say that we won't be here to help you, but they may have a quicker answer if you have a very specific question related to the message set. To message set system as a whole, questions regarding perhaps to Qatar, you could send to CPSC. We also will assist whenever any of your shipments are flagged. These flags during the pilot are just error flags, they're warnings. None of your shipments are gonna be held as in regards to the beta pilot. We are just, these flags would just be issued when we find that there's an error in the data. This could be a formatting error, this could be missing data, this could be data is not matching, et cetera. And we will provide all those business rules at a later date so you know what those error flags will be. We're still actively working on that with CBP. And when you receive that flag and you don't understand it, just please come to us and we'll help you understand that. And again, I wanna say we are not, we are very happy to have you to participate. So none of your shipments that you provide that you filed for during the beta pilot are gonna be under extra scrutiny. Like we understand this is you providing support to us and so we are very grateful to have that. However, as a small caveat our normal enforcement operations are still in occurrence and if you have a shipment held under our normal enforcement policy, that's something else separate from the pilot and that may still occur. But if it does occur, we will try to prioritize your shipment for review and exam. I've discussed this in the web page though is cpsc.gov forward slash e-filing. There you would have find the implementation guide also called the Qatar, the list of HTS codes. You also receive information regarding testing and certification and the which of your products requires certification and which testing must be done. Please be mindful that there are two different types of certificates and children child product certificate and the general certificate conformity and those certificates very similar but have different requirements. And sometimes both certificates can be applicable to a product just depending on the age grade of the product. Additionally, we have a resource here about a future case scenario where we are working with GS1 to be able to access their data from the global data synchronization network. The hope is if our certificate data is available in the GDSN cloud, we're able to access that data. And if you provide a G10 to a product, then we will access that data from the cloud and you would not have to use the registry or the full message that you would just file the G10 to us. So that's an exciting development that we're working on. Please keep that web page bookmark because any additional resources will be provided there including as I mentioned some of the business education and tutorials, SOPs, et cetera. So with the time remaining, I will open up to questions and feedback but before I do that, I'm just gonna address the next steps. So CPSC will complete the IT development and filing system and share requirements with participants. Please keep your eyes on your emails because over the next couple of weeks, we'll send out invites to training sessions in the future and provide you more information. We also will schedule a kickoff meeting and additional onboarding. I think we'll have your quick considerations in the welcome packet that you should have received. And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. The email address is in that welcome packet but for you on the line, it is e-filingsupport at cpsc.gov. So I'm gonna open up to questions and if you raise your hand, I should be able to see it and I could call on you or if you like, you could type in your question to the chat. So I have a question from Anders here. Can we assume that it's okay to be a bit late with the imported implementation towards brokers and if required, come with updates during the pilot project using the full PJ message set due to imported software deployment plans? Yeah, so we understand that your business, everyone's gonna have different business operations and we won't be able to dictate like specifically about which date you would require to have the software development. The pilot, when it starts, if you are not able to commit filing certificates for all your products, that is okay. You could begin if a subset of products, they have the certificate data available and you're able to file. You could choose to start with the full message set as Anders suggested here or you could continue to use the product register using the UI, for example. We're trying to be as flexible as possible. We understand that you have competing priorities and we're gonna work with you throughout this whole process. I see there is a question, a hand raised by Xu Shuang. Please go ahead and speak. Hi, this is Xu Shuang from REI. We are the importer and does this e-filing pilot include in FTZ entries? Yes, FTZs would be included. We do need to provide some guidance regarding FTZs but the idea is that once a product exits the FTZs, that's the point where you provide the certificate data. So here's my second question. So can we just file the regular entry and what I'm trying to say is can we not participate in the pilot for our FTZ? Yeah, so you could begin with your regular entries at the time and when you're prepared to file the FTZs, you could do so at a later date during the pilot. We hope, we plan to have that material available to you by the end of the summer. And so we hope that you could test it during the pilot but again, it comes down to you how you choose to file the data and for which products. And the pilot is for six months and so if by the first month the pilot you're not prepared for every product, that's okay, you could do it later. And once the pilot finishes, it will turn into a voluntary process until final rulemaking. So you could continue to practice and file the certificates for different products. Okay, I have another question. So we have some kids bicycles. So do we have to file a CPC or GCC for kids bicycle? A children's bicycle would require a CPC. The rule is that any product for a child 12 years and younger would require a CPC. Okay, because on your e-filing HTSCLE flagging, it doesn't specify for the HTSCLE, it does not specify that GCC is required. So if we have a kids bicycle that's under the same HTSCLE, we only have to file a GCC, but I mean CPC. And we don't have to file a GCC, right? That may have been an oversight on that list and it depends on the product you're bringing. If it's a bicycle for a child, then it's a CPC. If it's an adult bicycle, then it's a GCC. Okay, that's clear, thank you. So I have a question here from Guido. Will importers be required to provide a full list of HTSCLE codes or only provide a few HTSCLE codes for some chosen products for the purposes of the beta pilot? So you won't necessarily need to provide us a list of the HTSCLE codes you're using. We will actually be able to obtain that data because when you file, we already know your IOR number that you're gonna use in the pilot. So we're gonna use that to keep track of the message sets that were submitted and CBP will send us every message set that was submitted. And with that, we will have the HTSCLE code. So in short, you're not gonna provide us that list but we will know which HTSCLE codes you're using. Okay, I have a question from Sandy. In case we assign the lab to enter data for the product registry, do we share the same amount, the same account login? That's a great question. So no, in short. So you, Sandy, as the importer will have a business account that is solely created for your company. You would be like the business account holder and you provide access to other people in your company to be business account owners as well. Then you would be able to invite a lab or another third party to enter data on your behalf into what we're calling collections. So you could have as many collections as you want to manage and store your certificate data and to keep things organized. By having multiple collections, you'll be able to assign different third parties to different collections. So you could protect CBI if necessary just keep your products organized. So at that point, your lab, the official at your lab will receive an email invitation. They will go into the registry, create their own account and they will have access to your collection to enter that data but only to that collection where you provide the permission. That lab, if they're working with another importer, could also receive a permission to the other importer's collection. They will, that lab will maintain their own account login and when they log in, they will see both collections and be able to access both and enter managed data in both. However, those collections don't communicate with each other. They won't be able to copy data for one collection the other because those are data for different importers. So that's how the sandbox is created. The importer has the main account. The data that's entered on their behalf is there. They have the ownership and legal responsibility. Therefore, they will tightly manage that data and provide permissions to whomever they would like. Does anyone else have any more questions? A follow-up question from Sandy. Can the lab join the pilot program for testing? So the lab could work with you. So you are the imported participant. You could bring in any third party that you find necessary to assist you on the project. We will just only ask that you inform us that they are participating with you. Well, I still have time in this hour for any of your questions. Okay, so a question from Vijay. Does this apply for children's goods only? No, so eFiling applies to products that require certificates and there are general use products intended for adults that require certificates. One example that was given earlier were bicycles. Adult bicycles need to be tested and certified. They, I mean, the requirements for them is a little bit different from children's bicycles, but at the end of the day, they also need to be tested and certified. If you go through CPSC's website, you could find the list of all products that are regulated by CPSC. So therefore require certificates. And just kind of a note, any time you be here, me or anyone from CPSC say regulated products, these are products that we have an active rule of regulation or standard that applies to the product. And therefore those products require testing and certification. There are other products that are within CPSG's jurisdiction, but we do not regulate. So therefore no certificate is required. And then I have a second question from Stuart. Can you provide more detail on who have access to public repository and as a follow-up, who can amend the info? Only the person filed initially anyone with access. So Stuart, I not go into too much detail because the registry is pretty advanced and I could probably spend an hour talking about it. And we will have training in the future, in the near future regarding this registry and give you, provide you with a walk-through on how to use it. And so you as the importer will be the business account holder, I assume that you're the importer. So you of course will have access to populate data into the registry. In your account, you would have multiple collections if you'd like to organize and manage your certificate data. If you would like a third party to enter the data on your behalf, then you would provide them access to your account. They will receive an email invitation and by filing that invitation, they will create their own account login and then see your collection and be able to submit data on your behalf. So there'll be multiple options or multiple types of permissions. So you could have, provide like edit permissions so that third party could essentially do everything that you can. You could also limit the permissions on who can certify the data or not because it's as the importer, you are ultimately responsible but you could delegate that certifying permission to a third party or you can maintain it yourself. So someone could file the data on your behalf, submit the data into the registry on your behalf and then you have to review it and certify. We'll go into more details of these permissions later, one of our later training sessions. And then you also have options to provide someone a permission to view. They will just see what data is available but they can't access. So when it comes to amending the info, it really comes out and it has access. So the business account holder, so people in your company will have full access, full control of everything essentially. However, third parties who have the provide permissions to it depends on what permissions you provide them. And we also created the system in such a way where you're able to submit some data and then save that certificate. We're kind of foreseeing that in some cases, one individual has perhaps a lab information, the product description immediately available and wants to submit it. And then a second person goes in to submit like the manufacturer information, for example. So there are multiple means to access it. I think once you see it and once you get to play around with it, you click with you. Is there one-to-one assistance available to help with submitting this data? That's a question from Aharon. Yes, so CPSC staff will be available to help you. And we're happy to have like one-to-one meetings with you and your broker if you have specific particular questions regarding your data. Are there any more questions? I don't see any more hands raised, nor do I see any more questions in the chat. I'm just gonna finish this meeting. And if you have any questions, hop on into the chat or turn off your mic and speak up. So thank you once again for joining us in today's meeting. This is the first of many meetings. You'll have a lot of us and you'll hear more of me in the future. We're very excited to have you participating with us. We do believe that working with industry on a project such like this is just gonna end in a huge success. So we're very excited to have you participating. And on that note, I will end the meeting. I'll stay on to the end, but thank you and have a good rest of your day. Thank you for the presentation, Arthur. Have a great day. Welcome. Thank you, bye. Thank you, bye. Thank you, bye-bye. Thank you. I'll go ahead and end the meeting. Bye, everybody.


Welcome back to the breakfast and it's time for our first hot topic and we'll be taking a look at the cost of insurgency in the country. We have as our guest Reverend John Hyap, he's a chairman Christian Association of Nigeria Kaduna State. Reverend you are welcome to the program. Thank you for having me and good morning to all Nigerians. Oh welcome. Reverend I think the best place to start is to ask you what is going on in Kaduna even as we speak. What is the problem right now? Well as we speak I am actually in Kaduna I'm speaking to you from Sarwantesha in Kaduna precisely in Sarwantesha and people are out there doing their normal businesses but the challenge we are facing at the moment is in the Sobo and some of the distant local governments where bandits that we thought had flee, bandits that we thought that have been neutralized, bandits that we thought that have gone away and still have a field going about killing, destroying innocent lives and properties of citizens, bringing back fear even as we approach the new government, people are beginning to say wait a minute. We thought we are getting out of this but what is what is happening? Are we really out or there is something worse that is about to come? Alright so the concern is that lives are still being taken in that place properties destroyed matter of fact thousands have been killed. There is a saying by Gumsu the daughter of the former head of state in Nigeria talking about General Abacha. She said that if insurgency lasts for more than 24 hours the government has a hand in it. Do you share this saying by Gumsu Abacha in looking at the situation the prolonged attacks on your state. Do you have any concerns that government may not be trustworthy? Truly speaking I have said this and I want to repeat that our government have not done well, our government have not been honest with us. Another government show that is in charge. What we find every day is the normal rhetoric, the manipulation of the situation and give a picture as if a lot has been done but nothing has been done and I will say this without fear of contradiction. One of the reason why one of the things I've just realized that it's simple and a cheap way of stealing our money because when government refused to deal with criminality like this, when government failed to deal with people killing lives like this, she just hide under these whole incidences and continue to siphon public phone and say she spent security. If you listen to the last report our government gave, the amount she is presenting out there that she spent for security and then you see the killings going on. The report that is out there is a report from just one tribe. I think Gumsu knows, the report of 570 people killed is just a report of atyap, atyap but you have not said what happened. Chawi have not said what happened. Kaburo have not said what happened and you know in recent most of the killings have been done in Kaburo in large number. The people in Sanga have not said what happened. Then you come to the worst hit that is the Adara in Khaju local government have not said what happened and Chikun have not said what happened. So when you begin to put all these numbers together, you will wonder how do we really still exist as a nation that we have government that people can be killed in such number, property can be destroyed in such number and nothing happened, no one is arrested, nobody has been brought to justice. Every day we just hear stories on television, stories on the pages of newspaper, it is very unfortunate. So government knows very well that our aunt is well in this matter. I mean I was going to ask you if the figures are really correct because the figures before us are 518 people killed. Just in Atyap land. But they say it's 18 villages. They said it's 18 villages. Are these 18 villages? Just in Atyap land. Just in Atyap land. That's why. So our viewers to know, Atyap is just one tribe in Zengong Katap local government. And Zengong Katap local government has 4 chiefdoms. There is the Atyap chiefdom, there is the Bajju chiefdom, there is the Ipulu chiefdom and there is also Kamantheng chiefdom all in Zengong Katap local government. So we're just dealing with one tribe in one local government and you know if you've been following the stories of Kaduna state and the killings in southern Kaduna, you know you've heard about Kaguro. Kaguro is not on this Pigo. You know you've heard about Manchuk. Manchuk is not on Marwa. Marwa is not on this Pigo. You know you've heard about killings in Sanga. Sanga is not on this Pigo. You know you've heard about the killings in Gajuru. That is in Atyap land. These tribes are not in this Pigo. You've heard of the killing in Chaway. Chaway are not in this Pigo. I'm just, we're just speaking about one tribe in one local government that have four chiefdoms. So what do you think is an estimated number, if you might, that has fallen? Because if 518 are just in one tribe, what figure are we looking at as a total figure that might have been victims of this insurgency? When you are dealing with a government, be careful when you use figures, because they would just want if one dot of that figure is wrong, then they wouldn't talk about the substance of the story. They would just use that as excuse to cover every important figure, but thousands of lives have been lost. All right. My question is, haven't seen that these killings have continued year after year with mutinous rampageant bandits attack village after village in different parts of the country. We're talking about not just Kaduna, Bauchi is there, Zamfara is there, Sokoto is there, and some other parts. Let's focus on Kaduna for a minute. What are the things that the people are doing to protect themselves, apart from waiting for government and trusting government and not trusting government? Because the issue of trust has been raised here. What other people have they resorted to any kind of self-help, or are they just helpless and waiting for the worst to happen, even as they do not trust that government can help save their lives and properties? Look, let me put it in this clear perspective. The people have been doing a lot to protect themselves, but this is where the challenge is.  The other time I went to that community and I gathered all the clerics and I was advising them that we must intensify our effort in self-defense, we must bring strategy that we can protect ourselves. One of the leaders just after listening to me said first of all, we are doing what we say and we've been trying our best, but here is the challenge. When you listen to the sound of the gun of these people, it will take a strong heart to stand here, just coming with a den gun, with a stick, with a cordless, and the sound of the gun, you know, cheers to the thousands of youths that may have come courageously. That is one. Number two, we have reports from our people out there that any time they even hear the sound and some of them pick courage and want to go and defend us, render support. They will find the military coming to stop them to go and render support to that community that is under attack, but some people who are destroying life and killing people will have a field day to kill and destroy homes and go away, no arrest and no trace of where they come from. So why is the government interested in blocking the people from going after the criminals who are disturbing and denying them peace and then allowing the criminals to have a field day without doing anything? That's why if you read that report you are going through, you would see that the community even said they don't even trust the military that are there, because the categorically said that the commander who is in charge should be removed because he has compromise. There are many instances that will give that sometimes even people with knives and these den guns will be arrested by security and they will come and drop them here in Katuna or somewhere the police say they will go to their farm, they have no other source of life they would. So when people want to defend themselves and they realize that they are the basic of what government determines that is self-defense and what is not self-defense, then that is where the new problem is. Are people courageous? Are people not people who are giving cheaply to fear? But we are having a situation where the bandits are on the other side. The institution that is supposed to protect us also is hitting us and crept in unnecessary tension and even looking for excuse to arrest some of our youths and just lock them up. That is why the idea and the effort of self-defense have not yielded enough fruit. We have tried the issue of dialogue, the issue of peace but this is another challenge we face. We are dialoguing with people who do not even know who are the insurgents. We are dialoguing with people who have no business, they may belong to the same tribe or the same identity of the insurgents but they cannot deal with that. So the insurgents are people who do not belong to this same flag, the same other group that we are staying with. They are criminals who have vowed to terminate our people, take over our land and cause harm on our people. Certainly government that is supposed to protect lives and property is not protecting us but actually hiding on the misquieses and blaming people.  This state of coming to commissioner with you is now accusing you just to cover up. Well paint for us a picture of how the Kaduna people survive now. Let's know how this insurgency has impacted on the economy of Kaduna state and its people. Let's know how you survive. Let me let me I'm going to use one small statement to explain what you said. Yesterday I had to send food home to the village and when the driver was to leave there someone was asking where they mean faster you mean from Kaduna you are sending food to your parents and put your relatives in the village and I said yes in the past it was the responsibility of our parents to send us in the city food to augment the little salary we are having but these days they can't farm they don't have food if they go to farm they won't come back alive so many of them cannot even afford what to eat that is the situation before you even talk about paying students movies before you talk about medical bills they don't even have what to eat there are many families in many of our local communities that in the past four years have not invested any crop it is the same crop they would eat it is the same harvest that they will sell and pay students movies is the same harvest that they will sell and pay medical bills they don't have it they are living in fear they have no food they have nowhere to go and if they even try to make effort they are arrested so that's the kind of situation we are so nobody has taken over the state you will hear fantastic stories about constructions and others it's just a city game you're a city fencing there is nothing in the state I was in Choway a few weeks ago honestly speaking you won't even believe that this point is part of my theory Obasani has been elected as governor of Cardinal state he's going to take over from Nassau air five and it's been said that he is uh he's anointed candidate um how do you respond to the fact that a government you do not trust is handing over uh the button to the incoming governor well uh I will leave some response about this for another day but let me put it this way there is an effort from his team from his transition team to correct some of the wrongs uh some of his inability to speak out his mind was because he wanted to win by all means and he don't want to offend the man whom people say is his anointed candidate but I want to set the idea of that even if it is erophized biological sound that takes over from him give them six months you will know the difference you will know the truth there are certain things people will not do when you have a man who have no heart who have no sympathy who do not care who even look for controversy please don't talk everybody I think I've known Oba for a very long time I don't want to go into the politics of what is going on but Oba cannot be erophized so people shouldn't but I can also say this but interest of the public yesterday his committee reached out to me through one of the most respected persons in the community look they want to meet us they want to discuss with us what are those things that went wrong in the outgoing administration that we want to see correct so for me even that effort alone shows that there may be hope going forward so if they do it genuinely we trust that it will be there's one thing about honesty when you are honest to anything our holy book says actions are judged according to intention if you have an honest intention about bringing peace an honest intention about uniting the people an honest intention about building a better society go bless it and prosper it and you will see for oppression from people so already there is effort by them to reach out we didn't just agree on the date they wanted but we agree on it right now I'm going to be available my colleague my team would be available let's talk about this together with them so since there's even that opening let's assume that something good is about to happen okay um should insurgency end today in kaduna what are some of the things that you feel kaduna will need to be able to bounce back is he anybody coming in to lead kaduna now one of his most important agenda should be uniting the people you don't fight insecurity with a divided team with a divided community with a divided society with a divided interest no yes you could have people who always think differently but there are certain things that unite the people I have said this and I want to repeat there was a time we suffered this kind of thing but we had a governor who saw something different and brought something different and begin to reach out to people and begin to work with people and begin to unite the people and begin to meet those needs of the people it wasn't about sharing money he was even an accountant whom you know will not just give out money everything it is about relationship it is about listening to the aliens of people it's about understanding the pens of the people it's about recognizing who those people they are uniqueness and what they think they can bring to the table and gradually things started stabilizing that we were able to achieve in nine years without violence without killing in kaduna state unfortunately the 2011 post election violence brought us back and since then certain developments have continued and we've not been able to go back but that means that we can go back what did we do that time that was right what were those things that we did brought about unity brought about understanding we can just go back and look at the time we are in do some little adjustment do some little amendment put some few things that will improve meet up the time now and we can move on probably we may even go beyond nine years now we may even go up to 15 we may even go up to 20 years I do believe that when we are able to unite the people build trust among the people encourage the people to speak I'm speaking let me be honest to you hear that even peace practitioner in this state end of just wasting funds because you go to your community talk to the community call on them to unite all of them to be peaceful but in the next one week or one month the action or trans from the government house can just destroy all that you have built and the people who start looking at themselves as enemy so even if you want to build peace you only build peace when the leaders who are honest in finding peace and the leaders are willing to see the people united but if a leader will go among some people and instigating them against one another thinking he's playing a smart game divide and rule then you will find this situation so bandit will say wait a minute we can do this they'll be divided they'll be fighting among themselves and nobody will even care to go for at once when the evil Reverend Joseph Hyap can chairman Cardinal state Reverend we do hope that Cardinal stops bleeding and indeed Nigeria subs bleeding because this insecurity this rising spate of insecurity has affected every sector of the nation's economy and we cannot afford to have this go on I shared the hope that you're having uh as the this administration winds down and you're hoping that the incoming administration of Obasani will give you peace and tranquility and prosperity in Cardinal state that's what we join you to hope for thank you so much for your time thank you too for having me and thank you for hoping like us so please let's pray together and then we walk to other chicken thank you the breakfast continues in a moment stay with us
