Welcome back! Today we are visiting one of the more unique departments here at Sportsman Votes. We are visiting our metal shops and our powder coating departments. In this building we fabricate all of the aluminum parts that will eventually become hardtop frames, rod holders and even hand rails. So stick around as we go behind the glass. When it comes to metal parts, aluminum is the preferred choice. There are two main reasons for that. The first is aluminum's superior corrosion resistance. Unlike other metal choices, aluminum is naturally resistant to corrosion. Modern marine alloys take these natural properties to the next level. The second is aluminum's weight. It's considerably lighter than other metals, allowing the frames to be strong but lightweight. The aluminum gets delivered to the floor in long pieces. These pieces come in in various sizes and shapes. Once the aluminum has been delivered, work can begin on the final parts. Let's take a close look at the manufacturing process of a hardtop frame. The team members start by bending the pieces using our state-of-the-art CNC bender. This ensures accurate bends on every piece and makes quick work of intricate compound bends. They will batch process all of the necessary pieces for multiple tops at once. The pre-bent pieces then get final trimmed to the appropriate size. Using templates and jigs, the team member starts assembling the required pieces together. This is a crucial step to have a high quality finished part. Once satisfied with the fitment, they start tack welding the parts together. This will secure the pieces together and ensure that it keeps the shape. Next, full penetration welds are completed on all of the seams. This is where the art form of welding comes in. It takes years to master and it's very visible in the finished product. It should look like stacked coins on every weld. The hardtop frame is coming along nicely. You've seen it go from a stack of parts all the way to a completed hardtop frame. This procedure is very similar for all of our metal parts. Now, let's take a look at adding the durable powder coating finish. Here at Sports our powder coating is done in-house. We utilize a multi-step process proven to be tough and durable. The completed parts are delivered to the powder coating room where a quality technician inspects the parts. The inspector is looking for defects in the wells and other signs of minor quality issues. Proper pretreatment of every part before powder coating is the most important step in getting great performance and longevity out of every powder coated parts. The prep process begins with an alkaline cleaner that removes any dirt, cutting fluid, grease, rust, oil and any other contaminants. This is followed by a high pressure wash to remove the chemicals. Our next prep step is what really sets our process apart from others is how we have elevated the durability and quality on all of our powder coated parts. Using a low pressure sprayer, the technician applies a cerconium acid pretreatment that chemically reacts and converts the surface into a thin film of cerconium oxide. This chemical change dramatically increases adhesion of the powder coating. This step has been proven to increase durability, corrosion resistance and salt spray performance. At this stage, all of the prep work has been completed and it is now time to apply the powder coating. The part gets rolled into the spray booth along with other parts to be simultaneously sprayed. As the name suggests, powder coating is a pigmented powder that takes advantage of the physical traction of opposing electrical charges. A charge is applied to the part being sprayed and the powder is negatively charged as it exits the gun. A 2 to 4 mil thick layer of powder effortlessly clings on the part and is ready for the next step. At this stage, the powder is on the part but it is not permanent just yet. That final step is done inside of an oven.  So this part here, the powder has been sprayed on the part but it is not permanent. Let me show you. You can actually take this and take it right off. So you see the aluminum is right behind it and that's what it looks like right before it gets baked. In my hand here, I have a part that has been baked and the finish on it is what you expect out of powder coating. It's completely cured on and it is now permanently attached to this piece of aluminum. So with that let's go ahead and jump back in and take a look at the steps required to actually bake an aluminum part. We now see the technician wheel the parts into a large oven. This oven can bake multiple large parts and small parts at the same time. The oven will heat up to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit and permanently bake the coating on the part. This process of pretreatment and baking is what gives powder coating its durability. The parts will spend roughly 30 minutes in this oven. The parts are now ready for final quality checks before they are delivered to the floor. These checks are broken down into three steps. The first step is a visual inspection. The quality technician is looking for any visible imperfections on the finish. This can include areas where the coating is thin or has any contaminants. The second quality check is a cure test. This makes certain that the powder coating has been fully baked and cured on the part. The final check is a coating thickness test. Similar to the mill gauge test we saw during our gel coat steps, the technicians use a digital mill gauge to measure the thickness of the coating at various spots. This step ensures the coating is within specification and ready to be installed on the boat. Thank you for spending time with us taking a look at our metal fabrication and powder coating departments. This is part of our SportTech Advanced Fabrication process. This proprietary combination of processes and materials yields the best results each step of the way and has been thoroughly tested with durability, longevity and finish. All sportsmen boats feature 100% composite construction with zero wood. Join us in our next episode for another installment of Sportsmen's Behind the Glass. We will be talking all about quality, issue tracking and our test tanks. From Somerville, South Carolina, my name is Victor and thank you for watching.


Welcome to George H. Smith's Excursions into Libertarian Thought, a production of Libertarianism.org and the Cato Institute, narrated by James Foster. Committees of Correspondence and the Road to American Independence. We've seen how Parliament repealed most of the Townsend duties in April 1770, retaining only a nominal tax on tea for the symbolic purpose of reaffirming parliamentary sovereignty, that is, the right to tax Americans at its own discretion. This partial repeal caused problems for the American non-importation movement. Many merchants had agreed to continue their boycott until all the duties had been repealed, but some merchants now had second thoughts. When New Yorkers decided to limit their boycott to tea, the one item still taxed, a committee of Philadelphia merchants responded with indignation, and have certainly weakened that union of the colonies on which their safety depends. We cannot forbear telling you that, however you may color your proceedings, we think you have in the day of trial deserted the cause of liberty and your country. This protest accomplished nothing. New York merchants resumed trade with England, and they were followed by merchants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina, and other colonies. By October 1770, even Bostonians had given up the ghost. Trade with England flourished as Americans replenished their depleted stocks. The great non-importation movement was dead. The two years following the breakdown of non-importation have been called the period of quiet, the period of calm, the period of American disunity, and even the period of conservative reaction. Historians use these labels because there was no great issue around which radicals could rally opposition to Britain. This is not to say that Americans had suddenly become obedient British subjects, far from it. They continued to smuggle, and they continued to use violence against customs officials. The most famous clash during the period of quiet occurred off the coast of Rhode Island when a British naval schooner, the Gaspie, ran aground in June 1772. The Gaspie was commanded by Lieutenant William Duttingston, an arrogant man who had incurred the wrath of Rhode Islanders for his zealous seizure of merchant vessels. When the people of Providence learned that Duttingston had grounded his schooner, they sought revenge. Led by John Browne, the town's wealthiest merchant, a party boarded the Gaspie. A British sailor described the fight. We fired our pistols on which they boarded us upon the starboard bow and fired a number of small arms. Immediately Lieutenant Duttingston, her commander, cried out, Good God, I'm done for! He was wounded in his groin and arm. When they'd got possession of the schooner they used the people very ill by pinioning them and throwing them into their boats and refused the Lieutenant and officers any necessaries but what they had on, and not even suffered the commanding officer to have his papers and robbed his servant of several silver spoons and throwed his linen and apparel overboard. We were then sent ashore, I remained on the beach and about half past three o'clock saw the schooner on fire. A royal commission of inquiry was appointed to probe the Gaspie incident. Lord Dartmouth, Secretary of State for the Colonies, stated the intentions of the British government. The offence is an act of high treason, that is to say levying war against the king. It is His Majesty's intention that the persons concerned in the burning of the Gaspie schooner and the other violences which attended that daring insult should be brought to England to be tried. If convicted of high treason, those who participated in the Gaspie affair might have faced a horrible execution. In commentaries on the laws of England, the English jurist Sir William Blackstone, while noting that the ultimate penalty was not always enforced to the letter, wrote, The punishment of high treason in general is very solemn and terrible. One, that the offender be drawn to the gallows and not be carried or walk, though usually, by connivance at length ripened by humanity into law, a sledge or hurdle is allowed to preserve the offender from the extreme torment of being dragged on the ground or pavement. Two, that he be hanged by the neck and then cut down alive.   Five, that his body be divided into four parts. Six, that his head and quarters be at the king's disposal. The identities of those Rhode Islanders who had stormed the Gaspie were a matter of public knowledge, but no witnesses could be found to testify against them, so the British government dropped the case. Nevertheless, many Americans were alarmed by the threat to bypass colonial courts and hold trials in England instead. This threat would soon have serious repercussions. In the summer of 1772 on orders from the home government, Governor Thomas Hutchinson announced that his salary would henceforth be paid by the British government rather than by the Massachusetts legislature. This put control of the colonial government more firmly in British hands. More bad news arrived later that summer. Judges were also to receive permanent salaries from the Crown. This was the controversy that radicals needed to reawaken American resistance. Samuel Adams described the outrage of many Bostonians. The news was like thunder in the ears of all but a detestable and detested few. Even those who had been inclined to think favorably of the Governor and the judges were alarmed at it, and, indeed, what honest and sensible man or woman could contemplate it without horror. We all began to shudder at the prospect of the same tragical scenes being enacted in this country, which are recorded in the English history as having been acted when their judges were the mere creatures, dependence and tools of the Crown. Such indignation was discovered and expressed by almost everyone at so daring an insult upon a free people that it was difficult to keep our resentment within its proper bounds. Sam Adams now had the controversy he needed to revive the flagging spirit of resistance. He wrote in the Boston Gazette, Is it not high time for the people of this country explicitly to declare whether they will be free men or slaves? Let every town assemble, let associations and combinations be everywhere set to consult and recover our just rights. I move that a committee of correspondence be appointed to consist of twenty-one persons, to state the rights of the colonists and of this province in particular, as men and Christians and as subjects, and to communicate and publish the same to the several towns and to the world as the sense of this town, with the infringement and violations thereof that have been or from time to time may be made. On November 2, 1772, a town meeting approved this resolution, thereby establishing the Boston Committee of Correspondence. This was a bold step with tremendous significance. Rebuffed by their governor, Bostonians had formed an organization that operated independently of the legally established government. Defenders of the Crown immediately recognized the revolutionary implications of the Boston Committee of Correspondence, one critic called it the foulest, subtlest, and most venomous serpent that ever issued from the eggs of sedition. According to Governor Hutchinson, the committee was composed of deacons, atheists, and black-hearted fellows whom one would not choose to meet in the dark. Some members of the committee Hutchinson suggested secretly favored American independence. He was probably right. The Boston Committee of Correspondence quickly prepared its first report, known as the Boston Pamphlet. This report was one of the most important documents of the revolutionary era. It opened with a statement by Sam Adams. Among the natural rights of the colonists are these. First, a right to life. Secondly, a right to liberty. Thirdly, to property, with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. After presenting additional arguments supported with quotations from John Locke, Adams closed with these ominous words. The colonists have been branded with the odious names of traitors and rebels, only for complaining of their grievances. How long such treatment will or ought to be born is submitted. The second part of the Boston Pamphlet was written by Dr. Joseph Warren, who penned a list of colonial grievances, some of which would later appear in the Declaration of Independence. Among other things, Warren condemned the general warrants, also known as Ritz of Assistance, that were used by customs officers. These general warrants issued without probable cause and with no specification of the property to be searched functioned as blank checks for government officials in search of contraband.  Our boxes, chests and trunks broke open, ravaged and plundered by wretches, whom no prudent man would venture to employ even as menial servants, whenever they are pleased to say they suspect there are in the house wares, etc., for which the duties have not been paid. Flagrant instances of the want and exercise of this power have frequently happened in this and other seaport towns. By this we are cut off from that domestic security which renders the lives of the most unhappy in some measure agreeable. Those officers may, under color of law, in the cloak of a general warrant, break through the sacred rites of the domicile, ransack men's houses, destroy their securities, carry off their property, and with little danger to themselves commit the most horrid murders. The Boston pamphlet was approved at a town meeting and sent to other towns in Massachusetts. Its effect was electrifying. Some 80 towns followed Boston's example and formed their own committees. These developments worried Governor Hutchinson. He convened the Massachusetts assembly and delivered a carefully reasoned speech on the sovereignty of parliament. I know no line that can be drawn between the supreme authority of parliament and the total independence of the colonies. It is impossible that there should be two independent legislatures in one and the same state, for although they may be but one head, the king, yet two legislative bodies will make two governments as distinct as the kingdoms of England and Scotland before the union. Hutchinson hoped to turn back the tide of rebellion with this either or reasoning, but he miscalculated. According to John Adams in a reply written on behalf of the assembly, if no line could be drawn between subservience to parliament and independence from parliament, then the colonies were independent. If there be no such line the consequence is either that the colonies are vassals of the parliament or that they are totally independent. As it cannot be supposed to have been the intentions of the parties in the compact that we should be reduced to a state of vassalage, the conclusion is that it was their sense that we were thus independent. This was a radical position, but it was not a complete declaration of American independence. John Adams denied that Americans were subservient to parliament, but he affirmed their allegiance to the king. A few colonials, such as Benjamin Franklin, had defended this theory earlier, but it became increasingly popular after 1773. In the following year, for example, it became the foundation for Thomas Jefferson's influential pamphlet, a summary view of the rights of British America. With their committees of correspondence, the people of Massachusetts had established organizations that could unify them in time of crisis. The next step was to form committees in every colony. Virginia took the lead in this endeavor. After the Gatsby incident, as we have seen, the British government expressed its intention to move trials on some colonial matters to England. This encroachment on colonial rights alarmed Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, and other members of the Virginia legislature. In March 1773 this legislature erected a permanent committee of correspondence and invited other colonies to follow suit. Within a year all had agreed. To appreciate the revolutionary significance of these committees, we need to understand that royally appointed governors could dissolve the provincial assemblies in most of the colonies and that governors frequently exercised this power during crises to dampen anti-government protests. The committees of correspondence defied this power by establishing standing committees, that is, committees that continued to function even when the provincial assemblies were not in session. Committees of correspondence could thereby mobilize public opinion and coordinate resistance activities at will without official sanction. An inter-colonial organization was now in place to deal with a future crisis that was not long in coming. It involved the unrepealed symbolic tax from the Townsend duties, the tax on tea.

Controversial businessman Niko Matlala arrested by Hawks Controversial businessman Niko Matlala will be spending the next seven days behind bars until his bail hearing. This comes after the Northwest Hawks' serious commercial crime unit arrested him on Tuesday for allegedly defrauding the Matlasana municipality. The 41-year-old briefly appeared in the clerk's Dorp magistrate's court yesterday for fraud. Hawks spokesman Captain Trangelani Rick Hotso said, In July 2016, over R4 million meant to be paid to service providers was paid into several accounts. One of them belonged to Matlala, who allegedly received R1,8 million while not having rendered any services. Matlala is known for having dated several celebrities, including Winnie Encheba, Pelsa Makhiminyanumat Dysakwain, and Kibitzwe Kb Mosulanyanu. He recently appeared on the TV show No Excuses, Pay Pap Geld for allegedly not maintaining one of his kids. In April, he was accused of stealing items worth R420000 by Serge Kabong, who calls himself the International Blesser. According to Serge, he saw Matlala making off with a pair of Jordan sneakers. His fraud case was postponed to Wednesday for a bail application.


Hi everyone, I'm Tim Franson, a web and graphic designer and technology designer at South Bank of University. Today I'm going to talk about a project called Map of Essex 1777, and there will be an opportunity to explore the map and find a cartographic folly to be entered into a prize draw to win a one-off 80 prints of one of the associated great sheets, which is as the prize. So Map of Essex is an open access resource which shares a remarkable 17th century map of the county and supports all modern, desktop and mobile platforms for the benefit of students, teachers, historians, researchers and other interested people. I produced a map of Essex using scans and digital images from the Essex Records Office, the Spanish virtual library of bibliographical heritage and layers of London, another map-based history project. Here are three iterations produced today, so from the left to the right, version one in 2017, using scans of an Essex Records Office volume published in 1950, version two in 2018, using scans of the original map courtesy of the head of digital projects Julio Cordel El Viro at the virtual library of bibliographical heritage, and a GPS version three in 2021 using a geo-referenced digital image prepared by layers of London and GIS officer Lewis Calvert, so GIS's geographic information system. In 2010, I bought this 18th century timber frame cottage in Mockford, Essex, and while researching the building's history, became aware of pioneering work of cartographers, John Chapman and Peter Andre, not the musician, who surveyed the county of Essex between 1772 and 74, so that's the two fellows there. The resulting atlas of 25 engraved sheets, plus a key sheet showing the arrangement of the plates, was published in 1777. For the use of landowners, professionals and businessmen, the atlas shows about 10,000 place names, 5,000 farms, 400 churches and 400 mills. And was the first of the entire county that was extraordinarily detailed, so it's about two inches to the mile and accurate. So, I discovered this Essex records publication entitled a reproduction of a map of the county of Essex 1777 by John Chapman and Peter Andre in Southern Library. The publication consists of a title page, introduction and end matter, 24 plates and that key plate printed on heavy cartage paper and half the size of the original engraving. The hardback edition cost 21 shillings, there was a soft cover edition which cost eight shillings and six plates, or you could buy separate sheets for six plates from booksellers. To extend the publication's original intention to enable a wider public to enjoy this remarkable map at low prices. So that's sort of noted in the publications end matter. I decided to produce high resolution scans and publication and began kind of researching the best way to share share the map. I settled on a range of technologies and process discussed a little later and built a prototype version one which I shared with the Essex records office and who after a bit of two and throwing and grinding permission to make make it public. Here's an example of one of the plates plate plate 18 and and the detail. One was was well received and shared amongst the network of local Essex history groups. Whilst this was happening, I began contacting libraries, archives, trusts individuals in possession of the original Atlas explain project and possibilities of scanning the original plates to produce a sort of envisioned version version two. The responses weren't promising from 6,900 pounds for digitization and online permission fees for five years to a disappointing silence. I was quite tenacious. I scoped beyond the UK shores and discovered the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, Virtual Library of Bibliographical Heritage, had the Atlas in their collection. I will translate my Spanish being non existent. I emailed the head of digital projects within 24 hours. I received a reply from Julio Cordello, El Vero, who loved the version one prototype within within a week. I received 25 archive master files and was grant granted perpetual online commission in support of the open access publication project. So version version two had been given the green light essentially. This is an example of the same same plate and and and the detail and and here's here's a side by side comparison of the ER publication, which is kind of a bit like a photo copy if you like and and the superior scans of the original engraving. There's lots on the map. So there's buildings and accepting streets at nearly every house and cottages show. Conventional signs donate windmills and water mills and the principal seats and their owners and most of the manor houses and farmhouses are named roads. The first printed map of Essex to show minor roads bridges milestones and turnpike gates are also integrated. The countryside parks, woods and heaths mostly named a draw. The address indicates accurately the area of many a common and village green lost or drastically reduced because of the enclosure acts. The coastline and every creek wharf he very duck decoy and cliff is shown distinction is made between marshland and saltings. And churches have got in the middle here ashington church shown in a and a sort of perspective view with some some attempt to denote styles of of towers. Here's an overview of the three stage production process and software utility and open source JavaScript live library that was used to produce version one version two and the only are 23 edition, which will be able to explore shortly. So stage one Photoshop to stitch together the 25 separate plates into one large image file. I sort of call this the production image. And I popped in again as well so that being equally capable tool to to do that not not wanting to be an adobe salesperson. G dal so that's geographic data abstraction library and to G dal and open source software library for reading and writing best vector and raster geospatial data formats within the library. This is a whole range of different rules I use utility called G dal to tiles. Basically generate small tiles from the large production image to enable online viewing. And finally, stage stage three leaflet is the leading open source JavaScript library for creating mobile friendly interactive maps. It's designed with simplicity performance and usability in mind it works efficiently across all major desktop and mobile platforms and can be extended with lots of plugins as an easy to use and well documented API and straightforward readable source code which is all very well commented. So production process stage one is the production image of the 25 sheets stitched together the PSP image file and sizes a huge 9.1 gigabytes and you could print this image file three meters high. You could print it with dots per inch without any kind of pixelation or D grade. And so I popped Mel Gibson or William Wallace as a kind of an idea of scale. Anyone who's used Photoshop Photoshop and PSP format so Photoshop document that stands for switches to something called PSP so that just stands for Photoshop big when cameras with or height exceeds 30 30,000 pixels. The file is exported as a 30,000 pixel wide JPEG the maximum Photoshop can export in this format and bring the file size down to to about 810 10 megabytes in stage to so this diagram shows the next stage of production using the G dal to tiles. To generate small tiles which are like 256 pixel square so quite a teeny tiles from the exported production image to enable efficient online online viewing G dal to tiles is written in Python is run in a text based terminal and involves just one command line where one config is parameters such as the local location of the Python script. The production image and the output folder to export tiles as as shown here in just some red outlines and lines and other parameters shown here that the kind of zoom level to render so you can determine how many how many zoom levels there are. So you can see that it chops up tiles accordingly. And about 10 minutes. The process is complete and the output folder contains about 15,000 tiles and the size is crept up to 2.4 gigabytes. So it's stage stage three and finally just the the web viewers created you with HTML and CSS and the leaflet Java JavaScript library and all all this including the tile file folder is uploaded to a green web server, more about re-hosting a little a little later. So since version two's launch in 2018 Mac of Essex has received over 30,000 unique visits comprising about 45,000 sessions and notably visits increased during lockdown. Big jump up there. So during the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting its use to support homeschooling informal heritage learning and self self directed activities. And as a result, Map of Essex was selected as a featured learning resource by Essex 2020, a year long, county wide celebration of science technology engineering arts and mathematics and was nominated and notable and are up for the International Society for the International Society of the Maps inaugural prize in Map History 2021. So just down the bottom there. Additionally, the map has featured in a museum of London's Havering Horde, a bronze aid mystery, Epian Forest interpretation boards, so here on the left, and layers of London. And so I shared version two's digital assets with layers of London. This other another map based history website and developed by the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London. You can see the map of Essex integrated into the human interactive map platform that they use. Layers layers of London includes a range of historical maps and information overlays my work keeps trying to install new software on my computer. Can't get rid of them overlays. So yeah, information overlays about various topics and things. So the dark area you see there is an overlay of 24,000 aerial photographs of London taken by the RF immediately after World War two so you can see the kind of the bomb damage. And this was a crowd sourced project to do all that, that work and all the geo referencing was done by schools and volunteers, which I was one of those. So through this partnership with geo reference, Mac image. So it's a geno tiff. That's the file format was created for the GPS enabled version of the map of Essex to support kind of field trips. geo referencing is a technique where you kind of you kind of manipulate and position a scan map of an aerial photograph or scan map. It lays over a spatial reference system so you kind of you kind of tweak and you pin things and kind of manipulate it. So so the gaps are the results of that manipulation so you can see kind of where areas don't quite map on. So if you imagine a kind of satellite image behind behind that, but it is quite incredible how close the 18th century map is to today's precisely measured locations on the surface of the of the earth. And here's a screenshot of map of Essex, the GPS version, the little red dot there. That's my home shows says one's one's location. The the web viewer and the new GPS tracking functionality is dealt with using the leaflet JavaScript library as with version one and two. However, the geo reference tileset was created and hosted by Matt Tyler desktop I think it's now called engine piece of software. Another another another platform another mapping platform designed for developers for publishing interactive maps in web applications and mobile, mobile, mobile devices. So about sustainability, not including labor which I provided a sort of gratis. The map of Essex costs about 100 pounds a year to run, which basically covers green web hosting domain registration and site maintenance and security. So you can connect through play printing print sales. So here's one of the prints here, and simply donations, what, and pay what what you can afford. And presently map of Essex has generated enough funds to cover the next five five and a half years. So the map of Essex is hosted on a verified green hosting service for the details about carbon pluting data data centers and supporting the transition towards a green internet is available via the sort of there's a floating climate emergency declaration and green hosting button which is on the map of Essex website. Okay. So, find the the folly so cartographic follies are deliberate fictitious entries on maps to help reveal plagiarism or copyright infringement. You might put the fake streets or something something like that. It was also a practice of kind of cartographers that are simply this board and they just make things up. So it can also be just for just for fun. So if you scan or visit that address at the bottom or scan the QR QR code this will take you to the area 23 edition. And I'd like you to kind of the challenges explore the explore the map and find the cartographic folly which is the area. You can see the folly just in the folly and the area 23 logo so it's it's nestled next to a particular place place name. If I just pop to the site. There we go. So here's here's this window here and you can you can zoom zoom around, etc. within that or you can click the full screen and that will pop it out into the full screen of your browser. Few little instructions there. So just sort of similar to Google Maps on a computer you can zoom in and out by using the plus and the plus plus and minus buttons by double clicking so you can just double click. You can use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom zoom in and out. And what you'll notice is those tiles building up. So it's kind of like the images rather than this, this couple of gigabytes of image.  And to move around the map you simply click and drag or use your keyboard arrow keys on a mobile you just use typical navigation gestures, such as press and drag to move around and the map around the map and double tap or pinch and spread to zoom to zoom in and out. Okay, so it'd be quite a task for you to kind of find it with that just being the, so I've got a little clue here, clue to the follies location so in 1274 where in Essex was this revered Scottish national hero, possibly born. And so it's a contested possibility. You know, the village says definitely this person was born there. When you when you find the folly email a screenshot to myself at map of Essex dot UK by noon tomorrow to be entered into a prize draw to win a one off print 80 print print of the associate sheet and the winner will be announced and receive the print at the end of the conference. Just a few shout outs thanks thanks to the generous generous institutional supporters and individual donors who have collectively helped to realize the project and ensure this this remarkable map reaches the widest public and remains free access accessible for everyone. Also to Alice you for funding travel and accommodation all for the scholarship reward and print room, print room group and providing the print giveaway and thanks. Thanks for listening. How are we doing? I did time it last night. So I guess any any kind of questions. Further further. Is the map also downloadable for reuse in. Not only only kind of. HTML but also do you have it. I have but not it's not available. So in a way I was quite open with it. Couple of people that said, oh, could I have this and I was, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they started printing them for profits. So I've sort of paused pause that because it's kind of one of the things that enables the thing to stay. Yeah, because we work with our kids and we make interactive maps. Yeah, and they are three or four maps on each other to see the growth of the city or an environment. Yeah. So then in because you're talking about sustainability, then we have to open and make it sustainable. Yeah, probably between higher education institutions for the use. Yeah, I mean the, the, the actual map itself can be overlaid over. So it's just, it's just a strip of code that needs to go into whatever GIS is. So currently, I got contacted from a geography department at college university which are doing a project on projects about wetland environments and mortality in England. The 17th and 18th century self-shared, so they can kind of put that map with their kind of data on mortality. So it's really the, the geo reference one, which is kind of the most significant one. It's a little bit like the John Snow maps of the cholera in London. So you can, how they, they've enabled us to look at disease in a very different way, you know, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That's good. Any other questions, John? Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.


Mind-altering substances inducing vivid visions and deep insights. In other words, psychedelics, the focus of my research project. I'm Joana Pop and in this video I will briefly talk about a new research project exploring the effects of ceremonial psychedelic use. This video will show you what the project is about and what it means to take part in it. These cultures have been practicing ceremonial use of psychedelics for spiritual and healing purposes for thousands of years. In the last few decades, in western societies, there's been a huge growth in ceremonial use of plant medicine, and we are also starting to see more interest in psychedelics for mental health and well-being. This is due to a growing body of research that has shown that psychedelics could have powerful therapeutic effects and could be used to treat a range of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and PTSD. They can also be used to help people gain greater insight into themselves and the world around them, assisting them in their quest for self-development and growth. We are still learning about the effects of plant medicine ceremonies, as they are practiced today in western countries. And again, keep in mind that psychedelics aren't legal in most countries, so the obvious question is why do people engage in something that exposes them to an illegal substance? And the next question is, with what effects, for their behavior and general well-being? So you want to participate in a study? First things first, who are you? You are taking part in a plant medicine ceremony for the first time, and you are recommended by the organizations that collaborate with me in this study. After you get informed about the study and you sign the agreement for participation, the research assistant will contact you, will help you set up the smartphone app so that you can send us data, and you'll fill out a first series of tests. We'll do this a month before the ceremony. The month before ceremony, using the app, we will send you a few questions at random times during the day. For example, what are you doing and how are you feeling in that moment? While it is important to answer right away, you can also answer later. Just make sure you're responding to what's true for you at that moment.  We do not do this every day, so don't worry about that. A week before the ceremony, I'll meet you up online, and we are going to have a first interview about the ceremony, how you feel about it. This is going to be no longer than 30 minutes. In the first month, after the ceremony, data collection will be more intense, and you'll get some new tasks on top of the questions you answered before. For instance, you'll get a test after the ceremony, and also journal prompts throughout the month. Again, do not worry, we won't get these questions every day. At the end of the month, you will fill out a longer battery of questions, and we'll talk again for a longer interview so that you can tell me how your month has been. So why participate? Participants will receive a personalized report based on the data collected through the app, as a thank you for taking part. It will give them a good idea of how the ceremony changed their mood, behavior, and general well-being. In other words, participating in a study is an opportunity to learn more about one's health while contributing to scientific knowledge, and you will also receive a financial compensation. And a few final words. My hope is that this study will give us important insights into the potential benefits of these ceremonies for mental health. You can help make this hope a reality by participating and supporting this study. Researchers like me will be able to learn more about how psychedelic work through your participation, and eventually this knowledge will also contribute to better public health. Thank you.


and so on. And then if I go to read only, then we're at sales and purchase, read only, all these are set to read only, and then we can check these off. We can't check these off. So let's say we're gonna go to standard, I'll say standard for us, and say cancel, add a personal message, and then I'm gonna send invitation. So you could add a personal message. I'm gonna go ahead and send the invite. Here's what it looks like on the other end. So we'll go ahead and say, okay, let's get access to it, get great guitars. We'd like to access their account at zero, get great guitars users. Okay, I accept the invitation. And Jane's like, I'm in, I'm in. And boom, hi, let's get up, let's get set up, use this dashboard to get an instant overview of your business and so on and so forth. So Jane's ready to roll. And then back on our admin in, I just refreshed the screen up top. And so now we've got Jane over here. We've got the three dots on the side, which we can change permissions or delete Jane if we so choose. So pretty easy process. And like I say, I think they say that there's no limit, which is still kind of shocking to me, because like I say, that's usually one of the things that causes people problems in some other, you know, online softwares. That's one of the things that oftentimes online softwares limit is the number of people that can have access. So pretty nice, pretty cool with zero on that front. All right, so let's go back into our settings again. And so now we've got the currencies. Let's take a quick look at the currencies. So you can send invoices, reconcile accounts and get paid in over 160 different currencies. And our video learn how zero updates rates automatically and calculates gains and losses. And so you can get into that more detail. Now currencies can be a little bit confusing when you first kind of jumping in and thinking about how the currencies are going to be working. Because like if you're in a single currency like the US dollar or something like that, then if all your transactions of course are in US dollars, that makes things easier. But if you're purchasing things and you're using different currencies as you're purchasing, then of course you have these exchange issues. So just as a general rule, the idea would be that your financial statements are gonna be in one currency. We can't have, you're not gonna generally have multiple currencies on your balance sheet and income statement. You have to have one measuring set like the metric system, you know, in measuring other stuff. You can have multiple rulers and then meters and what at the same time. And you have to have one measuring system. But if you wanna pay someone in other currencies, that means that you're gonna have this, these gains and losses for the currency exchanges. So you can do that and zero helps you with those kinds of transactions and deal with those basically exchanges as the rates change. So generally the idea would be that you're gonna have your set currency, whatever that is in our case, the United States dollar. And then you could set up adding other currencies where you might make transactions that you're gonna be paying in other currencies. And then you'll have to deal with the fact that if you have like an accounts receivable transaction that you are going to be paying with a separate currency at the point in time that you put the accounts receivable on the book, the exchange rate will be different than the point in time that you actually pay or receive the money from the accounts receivable in this case at some future point in time. And again, there's gonna be basically a currency kind of gain or loss situation between those two time frames. And so zeros can help you to set up that system once you kind of get the idea of it. It's not too bad to deal with and it's quite nice that more and more of the systems, zero here has access to the appropriate exchange rates and whatnot to be able to calculate these items as you do the different, as you pay things in different currencies. So we might do a separate whole kind of course on that, another section on that because I think people, especially people outside the United States which I think zero has a good market and may use these currency exchanges more often. So we might like dive into that in the future. It's a pretty interesting topic and it can be a little confusing at first, but so we might dive into that later but not in this practice problem. So connect apps so you can add and manage third party connections to zero. So if we go into the apps, this is where we can be adding apps, the major apps they have here or simplify shift work with staff scheduling. You've got the automatically sync your Amazon eBay Shopify. This is another big area these days is to have the Shopify and Amazon stores and whatnot and then to be able to link them to the online softwares and zero's one of the big two for that process. Obviously zero and QuickBooks online. There's integrated apps to help you to manage that because oftentimes there's inventory involved and whatnot, there's grouping of payments that we have to group together to pull that information into the system. So there's different ways to kind of deal with those online shops. And so that's another area that I'd love to go into in more detail which we might do in another course or section but not in this one. And then we've got as an ecosystem staff picks apps and small business app for your 2022 finance, the SIN7 core is the number one choice for businesses that want to manage all products, okay? And then the last one, if I go back into my settings again is the subscription and billing and we'll get into the features in a future presentation. So that takes you to your subscription and billing and then we go to manage subscription if we so choose and currently we're in a trial period at this point in time so we could then buy it and we'd have a different subscription. So in a future presentations, I'm gonna go back to the get great guitars, we'll dive into the other settings on the right which are the features settings and then we'll dive into actually doing some data input here.
