Seventeen's continuing coverage of town meeting 2019 and we are speaking today with Margaret Bass who is a candidate Uncontested candidate for the Winiski school board. We're so glad you're here Margaret. Thank you. I'm glad to be here You're running for the three-year term. I am. All right. Well, why don't we start with telling us why you're running and what qualifies you for the position? I Love kids. I love schools. I'm an educator. I've been an educator for 40 years. I started teaching in the public schools of my home state of Mississippi and Early 70s and I moved from public education to college and university work and I did that for 25 years and I'm Really pretty committed to public education. I've only been in Winiski two years, but I absolutely love the community It's just the best place to live ever and so We need a lot of things in Winiski and I want to do what I can to Make things happen Especially for the kids. Do you have priorities? Could you name the top three things you would like to get to work on in the school district? My priorities are the school districts priorities, right? I'm 100 in favor of the Bond issue that's coming to the public in May. I've done the tour of the community tour of the school district I've seen the vision of the architects and of the board and of the school administration So I I understand the importance of the renovations for the school that Is overcrowded right now. There's a great need for space, but also the upgrade in academic Expectations for the school and equally important green space Right places for kids to play and so they can look out windows and see green and stuff like that. So I'm Completely supportive And do you support the school budget? I do absolutely right and the proposed The proposed A budget that the board is bringing forth to the public. I am completely in support of that And what's your observation of this? Thing called the opportunity gap and do you think that there's enough opportunity for the children in the school district? well mostly no Right, I think that When new ski gets a pretty bad rap um In general and in particular from from Many people external to it and some who live there I um, I recently spent a morning at the high school and The question from several kids was Why do people think we're such a bad place? Right and that's It's a difficult question to answer when you're talking to a kid Except to say you're really not and maybe people don't know you and don't know and don't know the the place at all and so When I see When new ski I see actually among the best school districts with which You know, I have ever been had any affiliation whatsoever because when you walk into a new ski you walk into the world and what better education Could there be for our children Than to be in a space where people speak Multiple languages and come from all over the world in various national costumes It's the most fascinating school district that I've ever been in in my life And I think it's extremely valuable What what they offer but You know, we live in a working class community where there's A lot of poverty and so we have Hungry children right we have children who Don't have enough clothes to wear and so that's for me You know, those are the kinds of services that when new ski provides That other school districts may right but not to the extent that when new ski has to And I think The district does a great job Of that with not a whole lot of resources And given the diversity of the student body and the community How do you think the question of unconscious racial bias Is addressed do you think that's something that people are aware of and working with? Yes, and no, I mean, I think that the perceptions of the wanooski school district are all Unconscious racial bias, right? I don't think that the perceptions of wanooski would be the same if it were not racially diverse and In working class area, you know, I don't think there would be mean the the number of middle class white parents who Moved from wanooski to another school district who said to me it's because I need my children to be Quoting a better school so Nobody's going to say well, it's there too many black and brown people in that school, right? But the the relationship between race Ethnicity and social class is great and it's no more evident in vermont than it is at wanooski And so I the the the unconscious Racial bias in the community certainly exists. I think that The school district itself Works tremendously hard to address issues of Unconscious bias and bias in general um It is unfortunate that the Staff does not reflect In a more comprehensive way the the community but My sense is is they're working pretty hard To do that So we're we're making a shift to a portfolio based assessment of students Do you think wanooski's geared up for that ready for that? What needs to be done to make that? shift Say they're ready to begin 2020 and 2020 and there is the Gx I think yes that they are preparing students for college and career and Planned as I have read it. It's x 77. I think so. Yeah the plan as I have read it Seems reasonable and doable I'm always a little skeptical of these Times of quote plans that come Filter from entities outside the school district and school districts have to figure out how to adapt them for their particular communities, but Wanooski is going to give it 200 percent for sure So speaking of those entities that You know the state school board or the legislature. Do you are there any? Any messages that you would have as a school board leader for those entities that you would like them to be aware of as they make decisions That's a tough question because they're No, sort of administrative bureaucracies Have to do what they do right and to sort of I would say I I would say in to Vermont's credit. It's way of funding schools, right? As well as I can understand it and I've read a pretty good bit about it makes sense in ways that other districts don't The the so that there is built into the funding A desire for equity. That's clear, right? But I'm not quite sure That when that it it can address effectively Uh, a district that needs as much as Wanooski needs but as for the sort of the funding plan and programs itself Makes sense, you know that you can't have a school funded There's no equitable way of funding schools Based on property taxes that doesn't work. And so to its credit Vermont has come up with a better plan. I I think so, um One of the things you're touching on is that Wanooski is Has very high enrollment, which is different than a lot of the other schools in Vermont that are losing enrollment Yeah, so where do you see sort of the enrollment trends hitting Wanooski? Is there going to be a time where there's a drop and all these capital? You know improvements are for empty classrooms. What's your projection of my projection is that at the at Worst we're going to be flat, right? Best case scenario is that we're going to grow and that you know, that would depend That interpretation depends on the person who's who's you know, the perceptions of the person But I do know that now we're in a school just we're in a school A building built for 500 students and we have 865, right? So we'll have to take quite a drop To be a be a facility that can accommodate even the students that I mean we can lose what 300 plus students and still Need space so I don't I don't think that's gonna I think we'll need more rather than Less as time passes and what other capital needs do you see in the school district's future that we should be planning for? I think that And I don't know if this comes under I mean it's school district because it's kids But our kids need Place to play We need a teen center, right? We don't we don't have space for Young people and little kids um, and so That makes for some difficulties. I mean my other hat is the restorative justice panel manager for the city of Winooski, and so that many of the juveniles I see um I'm seeing because they don't have any space They have no place and although that you know the the Myers pool is a head was very Controversial and continues to be you know despite the fact that the vote the outcome of the vote was positive, but On and and I understand both sides But I'm committed to that space because it provides an opportunity for children That we just don't have in Winooski Are there other types of interventions that would benefit the young people? I think so I mean we are the group of us now who are kind of scratching our heads and trying to figure out We're actually looking at spaces that could be possible places for kids um Ray coffee who is the community services director? And I are doing our best to Figure out how the school resource officer who is really a great guy is also Bringing us together to talk about that because we all see that some of the problems that we have with the kids In the community is because they don't have anything else to do So yeah, and teenagers look for risks. So you want to give them some healthy risks to take. That's right. We do Yeah So um, I just want to ask this question because I think it's on the minds of a lot of people thinking about leadership Which is how do you rate political compromise as a way to get things done boy? that's uh I think we have to right I think that the the Line that I draw in relation to political compromise is when I'm not going to ever compromise my Ethical and moral values, right? That's not going to happen I'm open to listening to most people uh and their points of view and even engaging in conversations and and looking for points where compromise is possible But we're in a pretty difficult climate right now. Um, and so I would say that I remain open and and certainly have seen a number of places where conversation can Can happen, you know for people. I mean we describe ourselves now on as different sides, which I think is ridiculous But there is room and space in the middle on most issues for conversation And I would hope that I'm I can engage in those kinds of conversations with people who are Or seem to be on another side or in a different place how you know, however we would define that Well, it sounds like in the work you're doing in the community remediation that You have experience in bringing people together and thinking I try right through problems that maybe people have different views on or I try yeah, I um and and Vermont is Vermont so that it's been um, it's been uh Progress is slow and steady. I think that um The sort of character characterization of Vermont is a white space is That's tough to get through right. It's tough to get through that perception And say well, not exactly right in particular in the case of wanouski right not exactly And we have a community here that is not a white space And because of that there we have some demands that are remarkably different from any place else in this state and so Making sort of suggestions about what those demands are some of which require funding right can be Difficult because the response is what we have other Working-class communities. There are other poor people in Vermont and that is quite true But there's no other community in Vermont that needs what wanouski needs And that we cannot provide it unless we have the resources To do that and do you think there's support from the leadership of wanouski for that? I do. Yeah Yeah, no question about that. Yeah for sure. And where would you like to see more support coming from? Where are you seeing that needs to be short up to? obtain what you're describing That's a hard one. I think that There's some There's some wanouski residents who are slow There's a There's an old wanouski conversation and by that Some resentment that I have certainly heard toward the I hate the term toward the new american communities Some resentment about the changes that must be as a result or being able to accommodate These communities there's some conversation about letting people participate in local elections that's going to be a huge Debate, but you know change is hard Change is hard. Yeah, and it's interesting because wanouski has always been the most diverse community For years 100 years. Yeah, and a working class community with french-speaking people versus the english and the irish and You know there has been You know a long legacy of wanouski being characterized in the way that you're describing Frogs across the pond was one of the terms And then also the internal conflicts Among the people. Yes. Yes, but I mean, you know, I think we'd be Kind of foolish not to acknowledge the fact that yes, there have been waves Of immigration to wanouski, but this wave is black and brown that makes a difference This wave is black and brown is looks different And speaks languages with which we are not many of us are not familiar has cultural practices that are not quote Hours that makes a difference the demands for for this community are remarkably different and it It also requires an openness that some people just haven't quite gotten there yet So in your closing comments, would you like to state what you hope to accomplish and What you hope for wanouski? I hope to be the best school board member that I could be I'd like to be present in the schools and present in the community. I'm completely supportive Of the superintendent of schools in wanouski. I'm completely supportive of the work that the wanouski school board Is doing and so I just want to be a part of that team Well, margaritas. I appreciate you coming in today. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you We've been with margaritas. She is a candidate for the three-year term. It is uncontested for wanouski school board We're so glad to have spent some time with you. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for continuing coverage of town meeting 2019 Great. Thank you so much. Thank you so much


A bill to legalize sports betting in Minnesota has cleared its first committee test but still faces an uncertain future. The bill by Senate tax committee chairman Roger Chamberlain passed his panel on a five to two vote today. It now goes to the Senate State Government Committee. His bill would allow sports betting only at the state's two horse racing tracks and its tribal casinos, with a provision for wagering via mobile devices linked to the tracks or casinos. The state would collect 6.75 percent tax on net wagering revenue. Minnesota's 11 tribes opposed the bill. John McCarthy of the Minnesota Indian Gaming Association testified that expanding off-reservation gambling would threaten revenues that tribes need for funding essential services. No hearing has been scheduled on a similar bill in the Minnesota House. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.


okay now should be working let's try to check it independently in my phone as well right okay we are live to as per usual a tweet in as well yeah post that quickly yeah talk about this later i forgot to turn a webcam thing on do it right now yeah we're using this i don't know that's for video processing i know we had a different tool called something clone yeah digital twin of course and this avatar code that again gpt a made for us just to make sure it's using the correct camera webcam input just run it in here quickly right yeah it's using my nvidia as expected can close it here release the camera need to run it in a separate python things just so we can a you know use the id and everything and i noticed yeah when i don't have the lights on don't have the lights on the mouth is not yeah it's not very responsive to my face right also pop it in the obs down the bottom so you should see it somewhere somewhere on the screen then just turn on the light just so it works better yeah now when i open my mouth it's more i think it's a bit more respond yeah i need to look at the camera as well it's sick yeah i just adjusted my microphone so i can look a bit up towards the camera so it's yeah it's kind of working okay it's fine i was actually thinking putting a sam altman or someone in here i actually started started doing this yeah it was working with a base base avatar and now i can't use it because i'm using the camera using actually both cameras i don't know why it should be working okay it should have and recognition as well we need some thumbnails for future videos you can have one of those i can't it's not getting my mouth right but you get the gist okay so we can close that one right someone was actually asking about the bland altman plot so we can do a quick just warming up thing so we have this two chats one of them should have an example yeah there's an example there so he generated it in like two seconds in a python with the code and everything the code works obviously locally as well just great so i can reproduce the example and i can actually obviously use my own data for it as well so that's the code you can add more more data there you can run it locally yeah and it's creating this bland altman plot which is difference between two measurements versus average of two measurements so yes in this case when i have those extra extra ones there yes the average between 110 and 120 is 115 and the difference between the measurements is minus 10 so it's putting another dot over here so it's working as expected now i was thinking doing something more interesting with it well first of all is a potential bland almond plot in e g blah blah blah so yeah when we are particularly using comparing two different e g channels in the same recording so let me know what you think of that and we can turn it into another web application that will look something similar to to this e g noise removal except you will choose two channels and we'll show you the bland altman plot as a comparison between two channels but actually just relevant actually have a tool like that already which is actually using cross coherence function yes we can improve on this interface quite a bit and yeah this showing a coherence function it's a cross sorry for that cross correlation so it meant to be yeah coherence is cross correlation in frequency domain between two channels is lecture two channels yeah this interface is not great is it and it will show you the cross coherence between them it's actually the same does that we know if you had the chance to look at the website as well because i'm open for any feedback so yeah so we might later turn this into a web application a flask web application as well but for now let's stick to what we were doing last time and that's this spectrogram close that for now get back to it let's do a spectrogram there are no questions in the chat keep going right so this tool is just called spectrum and we were already to remember how many sessions worked on that spectrogram yeah over here and let's close everything else close all we had this info file just a description and some prompts from memory it was working kind of okay already let's run it so this is a flask application is indicated by this line here it's running locally it's not in production yet and that's what it looks like it still has the well not still i mean i might leave it there and the feature for wavelet noise removal this will this chart actually shows both right and that's what we were trying to do last time without much success is also changing what the e g spectrogram shows when you toggle this switch so this should we have a prompt for it here at the end we can't program i can't program anyone can please do let me know happy to collaborate for me to program anything i need to ever use a github core pilot which i had a mixed success with and i had a better success with gpt4 so start on our chat start popping stuff in so obviously we have the python code we have also this shell script css and index html so let's start from the x html and it has at the bottom confirm ring because it will generate anything else sometimes this gets ignored let's put some exclamation marks if that prompt let's see what it says to have this voice wave gpt voice control thing i haven't donated yet because has this mixed success using it right so it trades through the text then that's great maybe exclamation marks did help some of the times it just ignored me why this has a template this has a template don't like it it's kind of obvious that there's previous code there and yet don't like this one otherwise it looks okay so this one actually never being used can remove it right let's pop it in as again confirm reading the code and do not generate anything else exclamation mark and sometimes this button now disappears there you know the one that just scrolls with the thing yep read the code didn't generate much else that's great okay we also have this python code we definitely don't need that it's just for testing field field spectrum are not being used might use them later pop it in as well okay now in info have these two lines what did it say i've read through the flask python code you provided it's designed for a web application that visualizes eeg electroencephalography data the code includes routes for loading and processing eeg data applying wavelet denoising generating spectrograms and calculating metrics like signal to noise ratio s n r and mean squared error m s e what specific aspects would you like to discuss or need assistance with regarding this code yeah that's great so yeah we need assistance with this wavelet denoise on when the wavelet denoise is turned on the spectrogram should display the spectrum of the eeg signal after noise reduction this means the spectrogram will show the frequencies present in the signal after the noise components have been minimized or removed by the wavelet denoising process wavelet denoise off when the wavelet denoise is turned off the spectrogram should display the original unaltered spectrum of the eeg signal this will include all the frequencies present in the signal including the noise your description of how the wavelet denoise feature should affect the spectrogram in the eeg data visualization application is clear here's how it can be implemented in the existing flask python code modify the spectrogram underscore data route to account for wavelet denoise when wavelet denoising is enabled apply the apply underscore wavelet underscore denoising function to the eeg data before generating the spectrogram when wavelet denoising is disabled use the original eeg data for the spectrogram yeah okay let's see i haven't actually didn't listen should listen to what the pot says be obedient let's listen to it again spectrogram underscore data route to account for wavelet denoise when wavelet denoising is enabled apply the apply underscore wavelet underscore denoising function to the eeg data before generating the spectrogram when wavelet denoising is disabled use the original eeg data for the spectrogram right so spectrogram data is in our python script always go python spectrogram right we already have wavelet denoise there yeah we also want to take levels we have levels yes we did have levels that's for the levels up there yeah the changing you can tell the bloom the denoise thing essentially how detailed the denoising function is the wavelet transform is that's fine yeah we want to take those as well they're not yet being used that's okay start sample line window size key eeg data sample and sample channel if wavelet denoise with changing eeg data changing eeg data generate a spectrogram this line expected to be the same yeah we have some parameters that we later can make inputs as well so we can play around I think this one remains the same that's preparing response and then turning it into a chase and instead it looks let's actually end and instead of reading that let's the best way let's just test it okay we need to read that because it's not actually changing we save it's yeah because it's in debugging mode so any changes make should take effect immediately there's just not much change between noise denoise and to expect this to change just lightly but it doesn't yet to expect changes there let's read that ensure that the front end sends the wavelet denoise wavelet transform and levels parameters in a request to spectrogram underscore data update the spectrogram visualization based on the response yeah okay so we need to adjust the front end as well okay can you can you just do that for the front end adjustments to work with the wavelet denoising feature in your eeg data visualization application you need to modify the javascript that interacts with the flashback end here are the key steps to ensure the front end correctly sends requests and updates the spectrogram based on the wavelet denoise setting modify the javascript functions that send requests the spectrogram underscore data endpoint to include the wavelet denoise wavelet transform and levels parameters this is crucial for the back end to know whether to apply wavelet denoising and with which parameters okay in the function that fetches and displays the spectrogram include the logic to send the state of the wavelet denoising toggle and the selected wavelet transform and levels right so we're already doing that we need those constants yes it has a placeholder in there so it's not the full function you have to be careful that those things this line right so we're taking um wavelet denoise transform and levels into account as well so we can comment that one out the event listener there are more changes add event listeners to the wavelet denoise toggle and other related controls like wavelet type and level selectors to update the spectrogram whenever these settings are changed do we already have this line yes do i still need to do that okay why do i need another function i do i need another function add event listeners to the wavelet denoise toggle and other related controls like wavelet type and level selectors to update the spectrogram whenever these settings are changed do i have to add another function update spectrogram and what no no no do i need to add another function yep if you're asking whether you need to add another function in your javascript code for handling the wavelet denoise feature in the EEG data visualization application it depends on how your current code is structured and what functionality you want to achieve based on the previous discussion here's a quick assessment it's not that for a sec to edit this do i must have this function yeah because we're really doing this kind of thing in the context of your application the update spectrogram function is not strictly necessary but it does provide a clean and organized way to handle updates to the spectrogram does it this function serves as a centralized handler for various events that require the spectrogram to be updated here are a few points to consider yeah consistently easy debugging that's fine alternatively you could directly call fetch and display spectrogram within each event listener like this how many times do we do that i'm just trying to understand the structure of the code if your application is relatively simple and you don't anticipate the need for more complex update logic in the future directly calling fetch and display spectrogram in each event listener is a viable option where is the f edge and display edge and display spectrogram false scroller yes so that will be replaced would have it's a question if i'm if i keep this one yeah do i need to replace this wave a new function then i will assume so no what why no you don't need to replace all instances of fetch and display spectrogram channel start second window size with update spectrogram the function fetch and display spectrogram is specifically designed to fetch and display the spectrogram based on the provided parameters channel start second window size it's used in various parts of your script where these specific parameters are known and need to be passed directly the update spectrogram function on the other hand is more of a convenience function for event listeners it's designed to be called when there's a change in any of the controls that affect the spectrogram like the wavelet denoise toggle wavelet transform selector or level selector this function retrieves the current values of these controls along with the channel start second and window size and then calls fetch and display spectrogram with these values well right because i also need to be updated in here but then why not just take the original or denoise signal in raw eg and turn it into spectrogram that is plotted in double t does matter signal chart yeah there's like a weird logic to the whole to the whole thing my original it's because my original prompt is not great using the original or denoised signal from the raw eg signal chart to generate the spectrogram is indeed a viable and logical approach this method would ensure consistency between the displayed raw signal and its corresponding spectrogram here's why this approach can be beneficial and how it can be implemented consistency the spectrogram directly corresponds to the raw signal being displayed ensuring that any changes on noise reduction applied to the raw signal are accurately reflected in the spectrogram efficiency reduces the need to process the data twice for the raw signal and the spectrogram separately this can be more efficient especially for large datasets or complex wavelet transformations simplicity simplifies the data flow in your application you process the data once and use it for both the raw signal plot and the spectrogram making the system easier to maintain and debug yes i wasn't listening properly distracting messages using the original or denoised signal from the raw eg signal chart to generate the spectrogram is indeed a viable and logical approach this method would ensure consistency between the displayed raw signal and its corresponding spectrogram here's why this approach can be beneficial and how it can be implemented consistency the spectrogram directly corresponds

twice for the raw signal and the spectrogram separately this can be more efficient especially if a large datasets or complex wavelet transformations simplicity simplifies the data flow in your application you process the data once and use it for both the raw signal plot and the spectrogram making the system easier to maintain and debug okay we'll have to make quite a few changes just save what we got so far old style old school um what's called version control yeah i wouldn't be able to use a github co-pilot for this um let's do complicated so we need to do something with the back end the process is the eeg data both original and denoised and makes it available in a format suitable for both plotting the raw signal and generating the spectrogram someone is asking about the eeg signal generator there's a couple of those for synthetic eg yeah this one yeah it's pretty basic thing sorry for the ads yeah it's actually can be much improved we had a better version of it before moving to linux to a different server i'll see later how we can update this create a different version for it as well instead of the bar charts just create those overlay the spectrum a energy plot that will actually be overlaid you'll have the actual frequency in there instead of having those frequency bands you know the classical yes those are classical yeah depends who you talk to some people love those a delta theta alpha beta but yeah this is literally just changing the energy in each band very simple you can change the window size and obviously on different window size you will see more details in different bands because yeah because the yeah different frequencies so so having a smaller window size helps to see what's what we have another yeah we have the ecg signal generator as well and memory yeah we could do a better version of it we had some old yeah from the old tool the only thing that is left is videos of how it was working and it was slightly better so we can definitely improve this one as well and where is it the eg signal generator and writes just back to what we are so this is real eg if you were wondering this is recorded from the surface of the brain recorded from an implant can fetch the data from eg.org if you like think pretty sure anyone can do it can get the data just requires a simple login and yes they will have a viewer on the website as well but that's nothing as good as this one obviously I'm biased so don't listen to that so actually it's working now yeah there's just not much difference going on you can see it's slightly changing you can only see it with very small window size check that's actually working okay and yes some well it's definitely changing it's just the it just has a minute difference there maybe some other channels and yeah increasing the levels should well anyway the interface is working so that's a good sign keep me sick someone's asking if the tools or the couple of questions there's still questions can improve it straight away you can show you the source code right now eg gen silly ads so I'm gonna call the eg gen 2 yet this one the source code should be on this side as well actually no if you do try this before okay that didn't work there's actually should be like description to it and everything that I forgot to put in so what was the question can control the width of the oscillator there's no what are the we are okay yeah the bandwidth that's the width of the oscillator yes so that's controlling the bandwidth of within each band which will obviously increase the energy of it well not necessarily well anyway that's the source code for it is pretty straightforward actually need to improve on it quite a bit can also pop it into a chgpt it will explain the code to you when chgpt wrote it for me to begin with if you have the prompts which are really yeah those are the prompts so we can pop the code in here you can probably share and this chat as well yeah because we forgot the description on the page have to put it in the html and what was the question can you control the width of the oscillator and other features of the wave being generated on theory can control everything from what parameters yeah window side we have yeah we have window size up top we have the amplitude of each band and yes we have the bandwidth as well so it's kind of hard to see when it's actually changing it would have been easier to see if this chart was actual plots instead of bar charts like we had previously so we can actually do that that all the video of that stuff and find that should be still public a e g chain something yeah this one here we got a simple g g signal generator you can set it right so yeah this one is better we can quickly change this tool to have the same plot such as a matter of changing this plot from a bar chart into I think that looks like that we actually have it in another application don't we yeah we have it in here no it's removal yeah with e g spectrum yeah this one here it's the same because well this is real e e g and yeah this spectrum and you can also select if you want the whole whoops sorry for that annoying ads I was actually thinking putting all this on the on the now website domain that I have by only cloud.com that's currently doesn't have much and there you will have some sort of login thing so if say Alex is interested it could be a simple login and then you could see this the tools with no advertisement but anyway yes that so it's actually but the controls are the same you also have window size okay this one you can't control because it's already pre-recorded the e g a real e g the vasigia everything and the other one is yes so those controls are the same controls as you have here that they change the bandwidth of the thing so hopefully that answers the question that yes you can change the width I assume you mean bandwidth within each frequency band yeah just display it better over there so yes for example yeah if you had all those as zeros so say you only looking at alpha that's not zero why is f something there there is not not going completely zero so why okay this is weird yeah I think this is like an edge condition that should not be anyway so this one's changing the bandwidth within that specific what's that 8 to 12 hertz yeah if you're adding beta need to add some amplitude to it and this bandwidth okay there's something check the code there's something weird a random uniform yes this one generating components for your frequency band and explain this with chpd code snippet rather crucial part yeah of course it is yeah it's looking through the bands yep taking the amplitude for each band and yeah just random number generator yes not all random number generators created equal so you have to be careful with that but then it's also not a real data so it might as well and random frequency yes well right there is also noise on top of the whole thing so maybe that's what's making yeah noise will make things behave in a weird fashion but generally it should be working okay you can try sharing the link like this put it in the in the chat and I actually never try this before I don't know if you need the gpt4 I hope not or you do actually see it you can try in there yeah I can try it out see see if it works it should just literally make you see that's the source code the back end so the fighting code that actually does the calculation for different bands so hopefully that helps I was sure you can actually because this is published on the server and the server is accessible via this link so so somehow I assumed you can just get access to all these files on it but yeah have to double check anyway hopefully it will become a bit clearer as we because this is fresh in my mind so I can it's actually related as well if you're doing synthetic eg and you have the spectrogram you kind of can see what's going on in a more precise fashion what happened there right now this working in it like a page page refresh right so that that's the eg beats this 100 seconds of eg has a seizure in it so if you look at say 18 seconds or so you can scroll through it and it shows you the spectrum so yeah it will be good if you had the same option for when generating a synthetic eg when you change your bandwaves and things a spectrum could tell you in a much more detailed fashion what's going on with the signal but yeah the current tool needs lots of improvement that's why the website is called chaos anyway currently I'm just testing this one I'm gonna get it right and move on I want to publish this as well on the side so we might be doing this next time just take a short break and we'll continue from there do you know if there's any questions or anything I wish there was like yeah in previously I had like a play button so it could just keep scrolling through the file while I'm taking a break you have to be careful with auto scaling here as well yeah it's still a bit the flask application you provided is designed to visualize eg electroencephalography data it serves as a back end for a web-based tool that allows users to interactively view and analyze eg signals and the corresponding spectrograms here's a breakdown of its components and functionalities flask setup the the application is built using flask a lightweight wsgi web application framework in python the eg data is loaded from a text file i 004 underscore a 002 underscore d 001 underscore day seven dot txt into a pandas data frame it preprocesses the data such as by setting the time column based on the sampling frequency 400 hertz apply underscore wavelet underscore denoising this function applies wavelet denoising to the eg data it uses the pie wavelets library to perform the wavelet decomposition and reconstruction filtering out noise in the process two functions butter underscore band pass and butter underscore band pass underscore filter are defined to create an apply but with band pass filter this filter is used to isolate specific frequency bands in the eg signal index root renders the main html page index html data fetching root get underscore data handles requests for eg data it processes the eg signal based on the provided parameters like window size channel the trending wavelet denoising etc and returns the process data for visualization spectrogram data root spectrogram underscore data provides the spectrogram data of the eg signal for a given channel and time window it supports wavelet denoising and returns frequency time and spectrogram intensity data eg data is processed according to user inputs like channel selection window size the trend toggle wavelet denoising etc spectral analysis is performed using fast Fourier transform fft for the spectrogram calculate signal to noise ratio snr and mean squared error mse for the process signals interactive data visualization the app allows users to interactively view eg data users can choose different channels set the window size toggle the trending and apply wavelet denoising spectrogram visualization it provides a spectrogram view of the eg data allowing users to analyze the frequency components of the signal over time dynamic data processing the back end dynamically processes the eg data based on user inputs ensuring that the visualizations are updated in real time signal analysis tools the inclusion of snr and mse calculations provides users with quantitative tools to analyze the eg signal quality yeah you get the picture hello vladislav arlov it's a nice name now it's taking a break just having something to eat yeah we can improve that previous tool quite a bit and i was just saying if for the what's called where is it the synthetic eg generator yeah this can be improved quite a bit and also if we have a spectrogram you can then see better what's going on when you change bandwidths or the different frequency components because currently yeah there's some noise introduced into into it so you can't actually tell what's what's going on but yeah we're currently focusing on this one i was just saying to be careful with numbers auto scaling like here because this file has a seizure in it eg with a seizure 16 channel eg you can select your channel i don't know what's happening with this one from memory channel 10 had a nice seizure in it a yes i do pay for gpt4 plus and it's totally worth it and i'm really skeptical i won't be selling you like cryptocurrency or anything like that like i don't normally fall into this but yeah seriously this thing worth way more than what they actually charge for it i would have paid the much more don't tell such cover that i said this because yes they will start charging more you know back to this and just saying those spectrogram plots have to be careful with the colors there the numbers the scale auto scaling because during seizure just refresh the page will go to default 10 second default so you have those 1500 that's what's going on during baseline and then when you have the seizure so this is the epicenter of the seizure you see this number going up to a 4000 5000 so yeah just have to be careful with this kind of auto scaling stuff so you can differentiate between baseline eg and something else like seizure in this case and check the side put this back into here yeah so we'll have a eg annotation so this annotation that used to work in levio doesn't work anymore have to redo it in python and i don't know python that's what gpt4 is doing for me and i'm also paying for github copilot i'm not able to get much done with it i think because it's again geared for developers so i haven't figured out how to maximize usage with github copilot yes you need something minor changed i guess it's good for that but for something major gpt4 is good because it's actually holding context for well in this case four different files so about the don't remember what do we have about 50 lines of no already what 200 lines of html how come ah because it has the description and the description is wrong by the way so we need to replace this because this was from a different flask application so essentially we have about 150 lines of html another 150 of javascript another 200 lines for python code close this one some css which we haven't loaded yet and seem to be able to hold everything in memory and because it does have context for the whole thing one thing though in the recent update this button have just disappeared the one that makes the windows sync with the more recent output it's not there i don't know why anyhow so that that's the description for the flask a jungle no this is flask uh i don't know if i'm using no don't use i haven't used jungle before but this is a flask it's uh doing is this one doing a fetch uh i don't remember i had one application using a jj query which is like yeah i know it's i can hold stuff this one actually doesn't one it's all json json files so using the json fi a flask that's how it's communicating with the front end if that what the question is so no jungle no jungle mango no trying to kind of minimize the number of um because you always have someone saying oh you must use this new grade two what happened to my something happened to my face the camera timed out what what could possibly time out start again know something the camera being held up by something yeah the camera right being held up it must be be obs that's annoying that's good my cpu usage went down came quite there as well the gpu is not going crazy just turn on the regular i think i know what happened that sound is not right yep the microphone better finish this stream but i'll just try fix this quickly i don't know what happened yeah now it's the right the microphone sometimes need to actually go obs okay right and now the camera is not being used so we can actually i should have just go regular camera well actually working yeah having trouble with my usb devices yep not much success anyway the avatar no the avatar is also not working now i had a lot of success with flask it's being really good to me um so this web application should soon go on to the site to replace this thing here just to have more details in the spectrum i don't know what happened so probably ready to deploy to publish this can we do it do we have time yes can do it probably straight away here so let's send this spectrogram in the index html send it up top it's called spectrogram yes well we can check all the other tools that should be available on this slide apologies for the ads in advance trying to recoup some electricity costs the server is quite the power power hungry little thing in live server right so that's now at the top this is actually showing the files well because it's once you turn it into flask application it should show this a couple things that we need to check first need all that stuff that's to do with checking if we i'm calling the application from production or locally so we have that and just make sure actually using it everywhere and point base should have two of those now well because we have two URLs this thing we have two functions bunch of event listness a wavelength noise right so we have yeah the rest of the code common can go now there's something wrong JavaScript so we have this API a URL with parameters so how many of those fetch right we have the fetch API URL and this is the one once Jason right and this we have another now this one called spectrum data wait what happened to the flask application now we had another window yeah so this will return the spectrum data but this also needs to check if we are in production or not yes we have get that can i'm a bit confused i have to get data in the back right so we need to actually check the back end don't we so we have the regular route what the whole thing we have get data we have tools to be three and we have another one spectrum data yes the one i was looking for so this spectrum data yes we should have another one of those would keep up copilot and sort us out no it would not production that okay it did actually do it but just add to the line with something and now where do we use this one a control i where to use currently it's not being used we can use this code the same way in the same file okay yeah yeah of course we use this in the same file yeah obvious really doesn't like my usb camera okay cancel that i still don't know to use this exactly this bitch you are real i can't minimize that right over here we need a control just fix fix this what's the issue the code well that it needs a to be changed to use spectrogram endpoint base change to use speck is it called again on tight okay let's check this too can't ah it's over here right so that's the old one a this is the new one looks legit so we'll accept a yeah we should have a file called my app wsgi this one here to change the name of the application yeah those are commented out but just change it anyway should be fine should have some prompts the instructions on how to and not here okay yeah we need to add another flask application to a config test as well so using g edit i'll just do it on the separate screen quickly right well i can show it to you it doesn't matter it's an open source project and so it's the flask uh no so that's the configuration of the of the website and we should have yeah we have 10 flask applications running we need to add a new one configuration what the last one instead of this feature extraction called spectrogram is need to change those with spectrogram so that's what this web app is called you can save that need to do a config test that syntax is okay syntax is okay what else do we need to do do we just deploy do we need to check anything else okay deploying in a live stream it's always a good idea isn't it so the website will go down for a bit it's normally takes a few like five seconds or so to get updated we restart their patches server as well fingers crossed so check the youtube analytics if anyone's interested happy to go over that as well okay so the site is back up okay this is the old one control f it's loading something right okay it's loaded stuff why so thanks forever and where's the main thing where's the spectrogram control five so now it's not a cgn problem it's actually loading and fine yeah there's some sort of weird delay thingy the main thing is where's the spectrogram that's not cool this is what it should have looked like packed we're getting the errors yes each spectrum failed to load resources server responded with four or four so is the yeah i don't know what's up my theory is it calling no it's calling the wrong yeah for the spectrogram data function it's calling the wrong thing problem is no what will it take to fix yes it will be in java script yeah this thing okay let's do you know just the brutal just bombard a gpt ppt put the whole java script which is confirmed yeah just do your thing let it loose the java script code you've provided is part of a web application that visualizes EEG data this script is executed once the DOM document object model is fully loaded as indicated by the DOM content loaded event listener it sets up interactive elements and data fetching mechanisms to render EEG signals and their spectrograms here's a breakdown of its key parts element references the script begins by obtaining references to various DOM elements like sliders file scroller window size input selectors channel selector wavelet transform levels toggles the trend toggle wavelet denoise display elements for snr and mse scenario wavelet denoise default setting the wavelet denoise checkbox is set to check by default indicating that wavelet denoising is enabled when the page loads endpoint URLs it defines URLs for fetching data differentiating between a production and a development environment endpoint base and spectrogram endpoint base initial execution finally the script performs an initial data fetch and render operation when the page loads it fetches and displays both the raw EEG signal and the initial spectrogram based on default or initial settings the error message you're encountering indicates a problem with the fetch and display spectrogram function in your java script file EEG JS specifically the URL being constructed for the GET request is including undefined values for start second and window size this issue typically arises when the function is called without properly retrieving or defining these values the fetch and display spectrogram function expects channel start second and window size as arguments if this function is called without these arguments or if the arguments are not correctly retrieved from their respective DOM elements undefined will be passed in their place the resulting URL constructed with undefined values leads to a 404 error because the server cannot find a root matching this incorrect query string ensure correct argument passing make sure that when fetch and display spectrogram is called it has passed the correct values for channel start second and window size check for undefined values before constructing the URL check if start second or window size are undefined if they are you should either provide default values or hold the function execution with an appropriate error message debugging log statements add console dot log statements before the URL is constructed in fetch and display spectrogram to log the values of channel start second and window size this can help you identify where the undefined values are coming from yes it is kind of obvious so i shouldn't have even used the gpt at all to solve this problem it's obviously a github copilot made a mistake well i'm copied i copied the thing from it will be able to fix it this is so this is the wrong wrong folder we'll be able to pick up i'm not sure if i understand anything at all kind of thing i changed this to be the current folder now i know i can do it manually of course but that's what we paying a bot for no it doesn't get it no this guy there yeah don't get it yeah this thing only called twice so we can just have to change it manually i mean that's okay just annoying that uh couldn't should be like a simple that should have just sorted out itself right now it's redeploying test so it's still running locally okay yeah because we'll keep developing this thing so we do need it to to run the locally as well let's redeploy though let's forget doing control shift v into the terminal instead of just control v so the site should be going down yep site is down website is down oh no it's starting it should be restarting though so the front page the landing page started okay this one loading takes too long still loading something control f5 okay what's up where's the spectrum okay now we really have lots of errors let's just refresh one so we get a one of those it's still going to okay this one i think and it's too we need to go cloud flare and put it in development mode obviously when we making these changes they might be not taken into account development mode again and yeah let's fix the problem that was the cdn the cdn can one of this log is taking the entire screen is a mystery because that was not the case in on the local server should be just tiny thing over there yeah we later will be adding more controls there anyway otherwise it's working yeah this is up and running you can check it out yourself let me know what you think just happened there like a jumpy business yeah i have to keep testing but yeah this file has a seizure in it yeah there's some sort of weird delays that don't not get on this on when running locally it's much smoother scrolling everything but yeah the server might be overloaded with me live streaming so i might finish that finish the live stream hopefully that tool will be more responsive for you and we'll go from there don't forget to subscribe like comment requests complaints and check the sites provide your feedback and i'll see you next time bye


This study demonstrated the potential of using remote sensing imagery combined with machine learning algorithms to monitor water quality in large and remote areas. The study found that the XGB algorithm was the most accurate at predicting chlorophyll levels, while the Random Forest Regression algorithm was the most accurate at predicting total dissolved solids levels. Additionally, the study showed that stratified sampling can be used to improve the accuracy of the models. This article was authored by Elias S. Legas, Fazaka A.

Violence is erupted again in Lebanon and Grenada. It's past Sunday at 22 minutes after six Beirut time. A truck, looking like a lot of other vehicles in the city, approached the airport on a busy main road. The truck smashed through the doors of the headquarters building in which our marines were sleeping and instantly exploded.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we will discuss a question which says that a high school talent, the number of males and females that with the members of the school club find each parability. First part is, a student is a member of the club given that he is a male. Second part is, a student is not a member of the club given that she is a female. And in third part, a student is a male given that he is not a member of the club. Now before starting the solution of this question, we should know our result. And that is, in two more tables, conditional probability of occurrence of event A given that event B occurs is equal to probability of event A intersection B upon probability of event B which is equal to frequency of event A intersection B upon frequency of event B. Now this result will work out as a key idea for solving out the given question. Now let us start with the solution of the given question. Now here a two-way table is given to us and this table shows the number of students, males and females showing numbers and non-members of the club. Now in the first part we have to find the probability that a student selected is a member of the club given that he is a male. First of all let us define the events. Now let event A is student is a member of club and event B is student is a male. Now in the table we are given club and no-club in columns and male and female in rows. So in this table, club is event A, male is event B. Now we see that no-club will be event A bar or we can say event not A that is event A not happening. Also A bar denotes A complement similarly female will be event not male so it will be event B bar denotes B complement or we can say B bar denotes event B not happening. Now we have to find probability that a student selected is a member of the club. The student is a male it means here we have to find conditional probability of occurrence of event A given that event B occurs. Now using this result which is given to us in the key idea this is equal to frequency of event A intersection B upon frequency of event B. Now we know that event A is student is a member of club and event B is student is a male so event A intersection B will be male members of the club. Now here we can find frequency or number of students belonging to the event A intersection B from this table. Now here you can see male members of the club are 156 it means number of students belonging to the event A intersection B is 156 so frequency of event A intersection B is equal to 156. Now let us find frequency of event B. Now event B is student is a male so to find frequency of event B we have to find total number of male students it will be total of no one that is 156 plus 242 which is equal to 398 so frequency of event B is equal to 398. Now we have found frequency of event A intersection B and frequency of event B so this conditional probability will be equal to frequency of event A intersection B that is 156 upon frequency of event B that is 398. Now we know that 2 into 78 is 156 and 2 into 199 is 398 so this is equal to 78 upon 199 so the probability that a student selected is a member of the club given that student is a male is 78 upon 199. Now in the second part we have to find the probability that a student selected is not a member of the club given that she is a female. Now we know that event A complement is student is not a member of a club and event B complement is student is a female. So in the second part we have to find conditional probability of a grand supplement A complement given that event B complement occurs now this will be equal to probability of event B complement intersection B complement upon probability of event B complement now this will be equal to frequency of event A complement intersection B complement upon frequency of event B complement. Now event A complement intersection B complement will will be the female members who are not the members of the plot. Now from this 2-way table you can see frequency of event A complement intersection B complement is equal to 108. Now we want to find frequency of event B complement and that is total of row 2 that is 312 plus 108 which is equal to 420. So frequency of event B complement is equal to 420. Now putting these values here we have this conditional probability is equal to 108 upon 420. Now we do that 12 into 9 is 108 and 12 into 35 is 420. So this is equal to 9 upon 35. The probability that a student selected is not a member of the plot given that the student is a female is 9 upon 35. Now let us start with the third part where we want to find probability that a student selected is a member given that he is not a member of the plot. Now we know that event B is the student is a male and event B complement is student is not a member of the plot. This means here we have to find conditional probability of occurrence of event B given that event A complement occurs. Now this is equal to frequency of event B intersection A complement upon frequency of event A complement. Now here the event B intersection A complement will be the main members who are not members of the plot and here you can see this number is 232. So frequency of event B intersection A complement is equal to 232. Now we want to find frequency of event A complement. Now total of column 2 will give us frequency of event A complement and this is 232 plus 108 which is equal to 350. So frequency of event A complement is equal to 350. Now using these values conditional probability of occurrence of event B given that event A complement occurs is equal to 232 upon 350. Now 2 into 121 is 242 and 2 into 175 is 350. So this is equal to 121 upon 175. So the probability that a student selected is a male given that he is not a member of the club is 121 upon 175. So this is the solution of the given question. That's all for this session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.

Creditors are not your friends and you learn that at a pretty catastrophic moment when you've run out of policy options and you're being forced into a position of debt service, continued debt service at the cost of public spending or indeed debt default and exit from the sovereign market. So looking ahead a little bit the left hand column we've already gone through HIPIC debt relief was of course a big one around the early 90s. We had a big wider conference here around about 2000 about HIPIC debt relief. One of the issues of the 80s and 90s was restoring fiscal management and the fiscal stance that Steve mentioned. I do urge you to take a look at the Stiglitz 98 annual wider lecture which is on the website because there Joe was really having a go at IMF policy around Ethiopia. At that point in the late 90s many countries were still very much a dependent for their public finances. We moved on somewhat from that. The issues around Dutch disease and the management of Dutch disease still a big issue for us. Looking forward what we might see over the next 30 years and I'm looking forward to coming back to the annual conferences we'll have celebrating my road 35, 40, 45 and then I'll turn up a ghost at the 50th probably. Really the bigger task of how you're going to build domestic revenues into your macroeconomic framework in a more profound sense. We're going to have a session on tax issues this afternoon but really you know the optimism around aid has pretty much disappeared. If you want to be reliant on aid and unfortunately still many countries are you might turn out to be very disappointed and really building stability into your macroeconomic framework when you are so reliant unexpectedly on domestic revenues including obviously domestic debt issued in domestic bond markets as well as your sovereign rent. The management of debt this has been discussed by the previous two speakers. I think the issue of infrastructure bonds which Ethiopia and other countries have done, Kenya has done quite successfully is a very interesting area and in some ways if you get the rate of return right on the infrastructure and the rate of return exceeds the debt that you've issued then you're good. You're good for growth and you're good for a more expansionary macro policy down the line but you know the task around actually managing and appraising infrastructure to get the right kinds of infrastructure projects that do really deliver you the growth to repay the debt are not as easy as sometimes people pretend. Big issues around financial deepening and inclusion obviously notably Rajan in India has gone out on a big campaign around getting the financial system to be more inclusive as poor people are not just reliant on micro finance. Going forward I think one issue that we haven't really explored much in developing countries is the macro impact of demographic change. We're going to see very big rises in populations over the next 30 years. The golden period the demographic dividend as it's called will have savings and investment implications and then finally the really big one which is the macroeconomic impact of climate shocks and what they will mean potential loss of revenue potential loss of key export sectors how that how that how we can build resilience into the macroeconomic framework on that. Okay well let me in my last few minutes just switch gear and think about a little bit about what's happening at the moment. Give you some thoughts well that's happening at the moment crude oil has gone woo don't need to tell you that and commodity prices have generally gone down with it. I'm not going to talk here about about food commodities though they're important there's another wider project led by Peir Pinstrup Anderson on that but we are seeing what for many people was quite an unexpected shock. We could have a lot of discussion about the causes of that shock but we have a very interesting geopolitical combination where OPEC is trying to drive out sorry Saudi Arabia is trying to drive out US shale producers it's finding that as a much tougher job the oil market oil demand is is still growing China is still importing oil but there is just a massive oversupply and Iran is adding to that. There is an overall lift to the global economy the IMF has given out some recent estimates but a lot of the oil importers actually some of them can't take much advantage of that because they have structural problems structural rigidities on their export side infrastructure energy so some of the net benefit of the oil price drop to the oil importers has not been as big as we'd have expected and of course some of the countries are suffering themselves from the sell-off in metals Zambia on copper South Africa we've discussed so there's suffering a simultaneous terms of trade shock so things are improving on the on the import side through a lower oil price but deteriorating on the commodity side. We've seen that some have ample fiscal busfers the example of Botswana always comes up but many do not Angola and Nigeria Steve has already mentioned are finding themselves in a very difficult position the average fiscal loss is about four percent of GDP that's a lot more to some of the smaller exporters what do you do in that situation or many of them are running down their foreign exchange reserves or depreciating their currencies they're running the classic risk of maintaining the peg at the danger or cost of rapidly losing reserves if you look at say the Venezuela case Venezuela is probably on the edge of default one of the most difficult cases a rapid movement into fiscal deficit a bit difficult to read this diagram but the story here is a big drop in reserves including Nigeria some countries like Indonesia are in much better position because they've diversified exports but generally it's a difficult period some countries have maintained pegs but now we're abandoning those pegs others are conducting large depreciations they're being helped along the way that some of the hedge funds for example are shorting commodity currencies so if you want to short copper one way you can short copper is short the Chilean currency and likewise probably other emerging currencies Malaysia's currency is right down as well and some of the african countries as well as we've seen are undergoing quite large depreciations Beno Ndulu was going to be at this conference but he's busy dealing with some of this okay so for the last five minutes or so let's talk debt and there's only really one thing to say about debt which is uh James Carville said it um he was Clinton's advisor in the 90s he said so when he when he comes to reincarnation Carville said I want to come back as the bond market because you get to just you know get to intimidate everybody you know finance ministers live in fear of the bond market um to degree in low income countries middle income countries it's quite a good thing that they start to live in fear of the bond market because it's a sort of you know countervailing check on policy and it's something that you know obviously goes with becoming a richer and more developed country but the bond market is not necessarily your friend and as Steve mentioned Garner is now back in the hands of the IMF our respondents from Garner might want to say something a little bit more about what they see as the situation going forward the Fed tightening is the big question fortunately we had the Fed timed last night just before this session and the Fed chairman came out with a statement saying that the Fed is actually holding after a long expectation it would begin rising partly because of emerging market concerns if we knew the answer to when the Fed would start tightening then you know all of us in this room would be very rich people we can't predict stress in the bond markets has been relatively limited so far to oil companies which are in deep trouble some of the smaller ones Venezuela which i've mentioned before there's more of an outflow in terms of stock markets equities exacerbated by the china boom and then bust earlier this year to a degree emerging market bonds have priced in a lot of the fed eventual rise but there's a lot of corporate debt sitting there particularly in dollars and a lot of it sitting in asia and quite a lot of it sitting in china and so if you want to rerun the 98 asian financial crisis story you might want to run it look at the level of corporate debt in dollars particularly in asia but also now in africa to degree but the fed tightening it could be quite modest the slowdown in china and the depreciation of the chinese currency is to degree exporting deflation into the us now constraining the feds move this is where in some ways you know if you 30 years ago you had said that china would have affected us monetary policy people would just thought you were crazy taking you out of the room so we have in some many ways just changed in the geo geopolitics of economic policy and europe of course is weak so the fed tightening could be quite modest and that's a graph of em bond spreads you can see actually that you know venus well as the red one they are in serious trouble the oil price is the thing going down but even argentina actually is not seeing too much chaos yet but we shall see headwinds i'll start to finish up now we still have weak institutions grease demonstrated that we still do not have effective sovereign debt bankruptcy despite the push by many economists ranging from ideological opposites like ancroga to joe stiglitz pressing for proper debt workout mechanisms for sovereign bankruptcy we still have too much reliance on self insurance by maintaining high foreign exchange reserves and we still have asymmetric adjustments in the global system so i'd like to end by saying there's a lot of big questions that we need to answer in macroeconomic policy we have moved forward in 30 years and i think this is where i'm going to say one last thing which is going to congratulate the way in which we've been able to work in africa and particularly the role of arc in improving the quality of the macroeconomic conversation and debate and effectiveness in policy and if there's been one really big change for africa i think that's been one of the most welcome changes so thank you mr chairman


Good afternoon, I'm Mary Ellen and today I am going to do a tag video that my friend Mary from the channel Let's see fritzy Encourage me to do. I thought I'd already done this But I went back in my playlist in my tag playlist and I had done several YouTube Tags but but not this one I'm gonna link Mary's video below Because she made lists who created this tag and then I also want to announce the winners of my last giveaway So anyway, I'm going to do this first And I'm going to be reading the questions How do you feel about the term influencer? And do you feel that you are one? I don't like the term influencer but And I don't think I am one at all What I think I do I really want to do more than anything is to encourage And to leave an imprint of encouragement with you You know when you say influencer, there's good influences and bad influences, but um I don't think of myself as one whatsoever. It's not how did I decide to become a youtube creator? Well, my childhood friend Emily her daughter had a blog BLOG and then she'd put up a few youtube videos and at about the same time Emily Noel 83 she was our local newscaster in the morning She quit her job at the television station to work on youtube full-time and I thought Wow, I didn't even know she had a channel So I went and I benched watched her channel and that was probably in December 2013 or something like that And I thought to myself oh I think I'm going to be that person that's 30 years older than Emily that's going to give reviews But that's that's how I got to start a channel What is my experience with knowing other creators in life good or bad? I think in 2017 I started a playlist and a playlist is a group of videos that you know that relate to the same thing And it was youtubers that I'd met in 2017 2018 2019 and I don't think I had any in 2020 But I know there's at least a dozen women that I've met The experience could not have been better In fact, every person that I met Was prettier in person than they were on On their videos and that really surprised me I also have some really good friends that I haven't met yet that I consider very close and dear to me And we just haven't had the opportunity to meet up. So I've had good experiences Do I accept sponsorships and how do I feel about them? I have never accepted any money or any sponsorship or even accepted a product for a positive review But I don't have a problem with anybody that I trust Doing them, you know, so if I don't trust somebody I'm not going to be watching them anyway But I think it's wonderful. There have been a couple that I was tempted by because it was it was things I already used But in their information, they wanted you to they wanted to check it Send the video to them and check it and I thought I don't need to do this I don't you know, I know it's something's working for me and I might not be able to Get you a real good side-by-side But the people that have watched me long enough know that I'm going to tell them the truth So anyway, I if Ebates would ask me or Rakuten or Alter rewards, I'd probably do a a sponsored video because I like anything that saves people money That's my favorite to do but I don't have a problem at all. In fact, I'm happy for those people Who do get sponsorships because I know how time consuming youtube is Have I had an experience with a brand that left a bad taste in my mouth? No, not really. I can't think of anything The only thing that kind of bothers me is that I used to accept pr from it cosmetics And they would send me things and I would give them away and they'd always send me the today's special value And if I liked it, I'd go ahead and buy one for myself But I would give my viewers the opportunity to have the today's special value And I don't know if they didn't like that. I don't know if they quit giving as much pr But that kind of bothers me right now. The only pr that I'm accepting is from bk beauty That's Lisa j and I just have loved everything that she's made and I'm just happy to receive products from her And what I do is I buy it for myself and I give it to you So anyway, if I love something I want you to love it too or at least have the opportunity to love it How do I deal with negative comments? Well, if it's just somebody's opinion and they You know I I replied to him. I replied to him. There was one I got recently I can see at the top of my screen when somebody's a comment And it said something.  Or something like that? I could not find that comment anywhere. I looked all over So if I would have replied to that it wasn't a negative comment But I've had some negative comments and I reply back whether they get it or not. I don't know What's my biggest pet peeve when it comes to comments? Well, I'm really upset about this Nobody has accused me of having Procedures fillers plastic surgery in a long long time So I guess maybe my skincare isn't working as good as it used to be But I mean I always really kind of liked it when people said that Because it made me feel like my skin looked good But I really don't have any True pet peeves. I'm just joking about that. What is my favorite part about being a youtuber? I like just talking about what I want to talk about. I like saving you money. I like Just sharing with you anything in my life that is helpful It may be helpful to you. It may not be I like to be able to say this enriched my life or made my life easier And anything whether it's makeup or not anything that makes me happy is a beauty item And I do have makeup on today and I feel like a duck out of water. I do I I wanted to put it on because I haven't it anyway. I'm wearing it today What is my least favorite part of being a youtube creator? It's probably looking at statistics. It is so discouraging When you put out content And you open the page because you have to open the page to get to your comments And it tells you where your video is ranking in your last 10 videos Well, of course, there's going to be 10 of 10, but that that is uh, I don't like that I wish they didn't even put it there and I haven't found a way to not see it But that's probably my least favorite part about being a youtube creator Do you edit your own content and if so, do you enjoy it? Yes, I of course I edit my own videos Every video I do it is my goal not to do any edits Well, that's where you get those things in the end. Those are the things that I Say wrong sometimes I can't get it out. Sometimes I'll just write it in here what I meant to say And you would be surprised how tired I am of seeing myself and hearing myself when I'm done editing It's just taking clips out and putting like transitions. That's all I do when I edit I'm just sick of it. I don't even want to watch the video once it gets put up Where do I draw the line in regards to sharing on social media? I don't go on facebook I I recently put up a photo on instagram I don't really know how to reply to comments on instagram I know how to heart but a friend of mine sent me a a nice long instagram message And I just stumbled across it about four or five days after she sent it. So I'm not very good at that I don't want to say the city that I live in. I don't want to say just recently I've mentioned that my son's name is Jeremy and he's 47 and my daughter's name is Gretchen And she's 44 and she'll be 45 shortly. That's I just came out with those But that's that's about as much as I limit. I live in southern Illinois And I am not active on twitter or any of that name one thing you wish you knew when you were starting out I wish I knew how to do things technically. I don't I do. I wish I would have known But I didn't and I still film with an iphone But that's probably about it. Is there any change you'd like to make in your content in the future? Well, truly, I'd like to get back to doing a video every sunday But that's highly doubtful at least until the fall that I would I would like to do that Every other sunday will work for a while. What company collaboration is my dream? Oh, I I love to do anything That I can get on here and tell you how to get the best deal possible I'd like to know when rack your tens percentages are going to be up I want to know ahead of time when Ulta Is having like 10 times points because I would love to share that with you and be able So you can get some great deals on products that you love. What other creator do you admire slash want to work with? There are so many people. I don't really want I don't do collaborations because I only do two videos a month But there's so many women on here, but I love and anytime I mention somebody's name I always link their channel below And I would not mention their channel if I did not think they were worth watching What kind of comment do you hate?   And if so, how? No, I haven't had two yet. And I hopefully I don't ever say anything that is taken wrong But you know, I mean I always really When I edit my videos I make sure that I don't say something that would offend someone And that's all there is about that and I tag anybody to do this that would like to do it I would love to hear what you have to say I've had several people ask me about my bookcase This is a barrister bookcase and it was my grandfather my paternal grandfather's and he died in 1925 And it comes apart and I do have the doors that go over their clear glass And you lift them up and they slide in and I just love it. So, uh, that's that's what's been back there And before I announced the winners of the 375 dollar e-gift card or paypal deposits, I want to mention something else I had two people that wrote in the comment section that they That their name was called. This was in my skincare video But I haven't gotten their addresses yet. So the who I haven't heard from from the address is Joe salmon or salmon Joe won the timeless and I'm going to type in my email address at the top And I'd like you to send me your address your mailing address And the second person is lory amber crombie And lory one dermatology and lory. That's the same address at the top that I'd like you to Send me an email and uh, and that's all that's all there is to that So when I went to random comment picker Dot com, you know, you copy and paste all the comments and you hit a button and then you can Filter out the duplicates and then you can also Put the one word that you're looking for that once needs to be in that sentence or in the comment So I have people that spell Favorite without a u and other people spell favorites with the u. So I just search I just told them to search for f av fave and They came up with all the people that had f av in their Comments and I want to announce the winner. The first name that was Popped up was judy pollock. Congratulations judy The second name was l boyer Congratulations l And the third person and the last was b noodles Congratulations b noodles Just make sure you leave a comment below and I will let you know how to get in touch with me that it is all good Thank you for watching and I will see you in my next video.  She's not I would love to edit Okay favorites

Hey everyone welcome to this week's video update today's Friday February 2nd Hope everybody had a good week. Let's take a quick look at the markets, and then we'll jump into the trades for the week So let's start with Vicks. So Vicks has been just kind of chopping for the last month or so in this little box Monday, I think that little spike above 15 was a misprint little data issue I don't think it actually got that high but Contracted Monday Tuesday Obviously big spike on Wednesday with FOMC and then contracted back down below 14 SPX obviously a all-time new high today 49 75 point 29 Nasdaq down early in the week up today and yesterday as well Russell finished lower and the Dow had a down day on Wednesday, but up every other day Gold dip today, but up for the week silver down for the week a little bit big story though bonds Bond notes and bonds pushed higher and then really came down hard today with the 10-year yield popping settling in above four Oil lower for the week. Natty gas kind of chopping sideways All the grains were kind of up and down chopping sideways Euro ended lower with a big Big move lower big move down today with US dollar going up and Same with the pound and then Bitcoin settling in at 43,000 to 20 All right, so let's jump into my trades for the week So pretty decent week if I pull up let's see and get my screen here I Go with let's just go through the zero DTE So for my AM trades Two trades one for plus 3400 and then the one today Minus 5500 on that big move. It was looking really good It was up like 30% and then just just got ripped with that big push higher DKS just one of those this week and that was a $1100 winner a couple of FOMC trades this week on Wednesday Actually, these should be merged together. So that's basically a scratch and then a Did a long strangle for plus 3,800 JSP's okay. Yeah one. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, big one for 2,900. That was a nice trade and then for power hour You get all these checked so for power hour I did well plus 11,000 and in fact this one here would have been a winner, but I entered it incorrectly That's one that I should have done a different based on the price action I should have done a different structure, which would have been a winner ended up being a $5,000 loser So unfortunately Unfortunate for that one, but still plus 11,000 for the week for power hour and then my PM Iron condors So both of those were winners. This will settle these options expired. So they'll settle tomorrow, but the longs did So plus what is that six some of 7,000? Yeah, a little over 7,000 on those two trades. So a couple nice trades there Quiet lunch Three trades two winners one loser. So plus 3600 on those Had one Rick It was good for about 3,300 O2 call calendar just had one of those plus 325 one DTE iron condors Three of those all three losers. So minus 8300 on those those have been doing so well too Unfortunately, not this week Dynamic butterflies Had two time flies one was a winner for plus 650. This one will not be a winner I think it'll be like minus a thousand once the once the Butterfly portion of that expires so that that plus 3400 that is not correct So a little bit red on the on the butterflies this week Dynamic calendars good week for calendars You get all these checked just to trade them all but just to make sure we cover all of them so $130 winner on a five seven $1,200 winner on a six seven nice winner on a three five nice winner on a four five Nice winner on a three seven had a B&B loser B&B winner And then this was a TGIF. I actually did not post this one in the community. It was I did a two-to-one ratio I put it on right before FOMC Just as a just as kind of just as a more of a discretionary kind of a test trade ended up being a nice winner for 1350 on that one Let me uncheck all these Why is it not letting me uncheck that way? I guess I'll do it one by one next category is Iron ducks just had one small winner plus 140 on that duck MOC trade so these trades don't come very often, but had a nice market on clothes and balance trade and that was good for 2600 options selling That's actually just a roll so that one is not closed yet so no closing trades on those and Then a PM iron condors Excuse me portfolio margin trades not PM iron condos plus thousand for the week so $650 winner on a Humpty $290 winner on a reverse vertigo Minus 3400 on Humpty and then plus 35 on a reverse double calendar so plus thousand The thing I forgot to mention on zero DTE so I'm doing some other trades as well In addition to the ones that I showed you I've just been kind of testing those so I have those Under my test trades one of which is using our NTT indicator So had About a $5,000 profit on those and then another kind of variation of that. I'm just calling it zero DTE price action those didn't do So hot but I'm I'm pretty excited about you know what what I'm doing with this it's it's more not back test related entries but more price action related entries and Unfortunately on the on the price action version I started on Thursday and we know how Thursday and Friday went this week just monster move So not the best way to get started one one takeaway from this is There was really no reason for me to be doing the size that I was doing Instead of just trading really small or even paper trading and so took some losses on that That that really could have been avoidable had I just you know been trading smaller size Especially when I'm still kind of working out some of the structure and the kinks of how I'm going to trade it But even though did did show some losses see some see some nice promise with that So look forward to continuing that and I've I've actually put some of my more back test trades on the Back burner for this month because I'm really focused on this trying to hone in exactly how I'm gonna be trading this going forward And then once I get that all dialed in I will Move back some of those back tested trades in for my trading next month, but for the full month of February I'm gonna have a heavy focus on this. So you'll see some of these results in the weeks to come All right, that's all I got. Have a good weekend. Take care. See you Monday
