Faced with a growing patient population amid financial cutbacks, many healthcare facilities today are going lean. Lean management, a business strategy that originated in the Japanese manufacturing industry, has been adopted by the healthcare sector as a way to shed wasteful practices and focus on quality of patient care. But more than simply implementing the management tools that lean has to offer, going lean requires organizations to understand their capacity for change and commit to making a cultural transformation. In this study, researchers set out to determine which organizational qualities reported to be crucial to this transformation actually make a difference on the work floor of an operating theater implementing lean management. Although several healthcare organizations have found success in implementing lean practices, many have found it difficult to achieve sustainable, long-term results while lowering costs. Part of the problem is that these organizations often implement lean through a trial-and-error process. They focus on reaching the short-term benefits of lean practices simply by applying the tools of lean management, tools such as value stream maps and human-supervised automation. The result is a large gap between the transformation an organization desires to make and what the organization is actually able to achieve. In the healthcare industry, committed leadership and a supportive institutional culture have been shown to foster true transformation. But what specific features of leadership and culture should healthcare leaders focus on in their own organizations? In this study, researchers surveyed employees of an operating theater at a medical university to determine whether three features enhance the transformation toward a lean organization, transformational leadership, team leadership, and workforce flexibility. The transformational leadership describes the leadership style of a manager who can create a clear vision for change that inspires employees, encourages desirable behavior, and strengthens an organization's capacity to change. Team leadership refers to a dynamic partnership through which individuals lead one another to achieve team goals. And workforce flexibility is defined as the ability of an organization to adapt employees' knowledge, skills, and behavior to changing environmental conditions. As a highly complex and high-risk environment within a healthcare organization, an operating theater provides an ideal test bed for examining these factors. Employees were surveyed 18 months after a shift toward lean had begun. Results showed that all three factors contribute significantly to enhancing a lean transformation. That's because, the researchers explain, these factors align well with what's called the change competence model. This management model helps organizations balance their vision for change with their capacity to change based on five different elements. Here, workforce flexibility corresponds to focus, and transformational leadership and team leadership correspond to energy. These factors therefore promote an organization's capacity to change. As this capacity increases, it becomes more likely that a healthcare organization can move beyond the trial and error approach to lean and toward a successful lean transformation, yielding positive long-term results for patients. The researchers expect that these success factors identified in their study can also be adopted in other parts of the patient care process to strengthen the change capacity of entire healthcare organizations that implement lean management.


Welcome to the Tick-Mill Update. I'm Kiana Daniels, CEO of Investiva.com. On Monday, we found out that the New York Fed Empire State Business Index fell in September. Foreign investors reduced their holdings of Canadian securities by $1.2 billion in July, the fourth decline in five months. Chinese industrial output and retail sales fall short of expectations. The UK employers cut growth forecasts with Brexit and a global slowdown in their minds and, of course, Saudi Arabia attacks that led to a surge in global oil prices. On Tuesday, the most important economic figure is the Eurozone's zoo survey during the London session. The Eurodollar pair saw a massive decline on Monday, breaking below the ecumenical cloud on the four-hour chart. By the end of the New York session, the pair found support at the 61% of the Banachi traceable level that attracts the pair's gains from September 3 to the highs of September 13. If the support doesn't hold, Ichimoku suggests that we could see further declines towards the next Banachi level of 1.0971. Of course, trading in the financial markets involves a risk of loss, and you should only trade the money that you can afford to lose.

I'm looking at the West. There's really no like elite team in the West. Like they're deep. There's a lot of good teams. But when I'm looking like Portland is going to fizzle off. Utah is a team that we thought was going to lose, who's now is up and coming and winning games. But like Denver loses to Detroit last night.  Like there's really no, there's no Milwaukee. There's no Boston. Like the Cavs would be the best team in the West right now. Like there's the Warriors are having their own struggles. Like so they have a lot of good teams, but like, yeah, there's no reason that these Kings can't, you know, keep going and keep becoming one of the better teams in the West and once they add, you can tell last night to close out that game. They have never, they haven't been in a lot of winning situations. They almost blew that game last night just simply because they have no experience of how to do that. They don't have the Iguodala. They don't have those vet guys to like be there. And once they start adding guys like that and they add a few more pieces, these guys are going to be tough.


Coming up on DTNS, Apple's opening up its doors again, but what will it mean for the remote workers? Google says Canada's Bill C-10 is worrisome for both creators and users, and the Supreme Court narrows the scope on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, May 3rd, 2021. From Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. In lovely Cleveland, Ohio, I'm Rich Trafalino. Most in Texas, I'm Justin Robert Young. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. Before the show, we were talking about Justin's new bird, how birds' beaks get to the beautiful shape that they're in, and dogs, cats, and birds sometimes getting along, and sometimes not. You never know what you're gonna get on good day internet if you wanna be part of that wider conversation. Do so by becoming a member at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Twitter launched its subscription plan called Twitter Blue, which provides the ability to undo a just sent tweet and access new themes and bookmarks with additional features coming alongside the US rollout. That's right, it's not available in the US right now. It is available in Canada for $3.49 Canadian a month and Australia for $4.49 Australian and will be released in the United States later this year. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and WhatsApp head Will Kathcart confirmed in an interview with WABetaInfo.com that WhatsApp will support multiple devices starting with an upcoming public beta so users can access their accounts from up to four linked devices. New features include view once, which will let users send content that disappears after it's been viewed, and disappearing mode, which will let users turn on disappearing messages across all chat threads. Amazon's camera unit Ring announced in a blog post, it will make requests from public safety agencies such as police and fire departments for users video footage more transparent. Request for material must now be posted publicly in Ring's neighbors app. The request for assistance feature in the neighbors app will roll out starting next week, requiring user approval for requests from verified agency profiles with request history logged online so users can see how their police force is using the posts. The American Heart Association says that devices with Apple's MagSafe technology can cause interference when they're placed near cardiac devices such as pacemakers. The researchers from the AHA say that their findings highlight the importance of public awareness regarding an interaction between cardiac implantable electronic devices, or CID, and a recently released model with magnetic charging capabilities. And Google announced an email to Play Store developers that later this year it will cut off access to advertising IDs that track users who've opted out of receiving personalized ads. After user ops out, developers will simply see a string of zeros in its place. Google has also updated its support page for advertising IDs with the announcement. All right, Justin, sounds like everyone's going back to the office, or at least they are at one company. Apple CEO Tim Cook sent out an email to employees asking them to partially return to their main campus starting on September. Tim Cook said most people will be expected to come in on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at a minimum with the option to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. Teams that need to work in person will return four to five days a week. Cook said employees can also work remotely for up to two weeks a year to be closer to family and loved ones, find a change of scenery, manage unexpected travel, or a different reason all your own. Though managers need to approve these remote work requests. Wow, so, okay, I think we were all wondering at what point do some of the companies who have been, I don't wanna say they've been very lax about remote work because what choice did really anybody have this time last year? But yeah, for the Googles and the Facebooks and the Twitters and the Apples, and these are large, of course naming companies in Silicon Valley, but companies that made very public. Hey, everyone's gonna be remote and maybe for the foreseeable future when some of that was going to start to reverse course. And I think in Apple's case, it's interesting because just built that beautiful new campus. We've seen it in Apple's remote announcements of various products because they haven't been doing in-person events, but otherwise, yeah, I kinda wondered when was this going to start happening? And I guess the time is now.  It's actually like a 20 minute drive from the East Bay or San Francisco down to that campus when it will almost certainly be the hour and a half that it normally is eventually. This is a lot of follow the leader, like you pointed out, Sarah. Everybody is going to eventually sort of cascade in these announcements. I wouldn't be shocked if they look a lot like what Apple said, but what I'm more interested in is how he mentioned the floating two week work from home totally idea. Because what I had not considered is some of these companies taking the pattern interruption that COVID was and trying to be a little bit more progressive about overall work agreements. Now, this is the same kind of way that a lot of the tech companies started offering unlimited vacation as opposed to what we had traditionally understood of you getting two weeks a year or five days a year, blah, blah, blah that you would save up over time. And then when you left, you'd either have to use them or you would get the commensurate pay for that amount of money. I think that this to me, the floating two weeks work from home sounds a lot like that. And I'd be curious on whether or not eventually we get back to a five day a week work week with maybe a floating bank where you could always take Fridays off if that's what you wanted to do with it. Or you could save it and say, well, I'm gonna work half the year from somewhere else. Yeah, it seems like this is like the opposite side of the coin of what Microsoft has kind of been hinting at what they're gonna be doing, at least in a lot of like their surveys about the future of hybrid work and stuff like that where it's more of the, okay, you can kind of work from either there are gonna be some days you're gonna be required to come in and actually be in the office. I also wonder if Apple's kind of, I know it's not a unique position, but they're very much still a product company. Services certainly play a large part of it, but physically making products is still the bedrock of their business. And I do think that there is something that you can only do in an office to a certain degree. Obviously they've been able to very successfully continue product development over the past 16 months. But I do wonder if that puts them, puts a little bit more of an emphasis in going back into the office. I mean, because all of these giant tech companies have extensive campuses and real estate holdings and stuff like that, that would incentivize them to theoretically use that. But we're not necessarily seeing a rush to it, not even a rush to it, but a call to it like Apple has just put out. Yeah, I think to the mandatory, okay, let's all rethink how we do our days. Rethink childcare, rethink where you sit at your desk at home because you didn't have an office before. All of those things were done in a rushed way. And so I think this is, I mean, certainly Apple, but a lot of other companies will be watching closely because Apple wouldn't do this unless the company was thinking to itself, okay, we've gotten through a certain period. We're doing okay, but this will make things that much better. And once this does go into effect in September, then there's gonna be another period of time where it's like, okay, is it actually better? We thought it was going to be. Because when I look at this, I'm like, it's kind of a complicated week. It's like, what days am I working from home? What days am I going to the office? Sure, you get on a schedule and maybe that's great. Maybe the flexibility works, but it almost adds in, at least on paper, a layer of complexity that I'm just not sure anyone knows how that's gonna play out just yet. Also, can you imagine if Apple, Facebook, and Google all told everybody that they could work from home on Wednesday, it totally eliminate traffic to the south there? It would be a marvel. Yeah. Well, in a blog post, Google voiced some concerns about negative effects of Canada's Bill C-10 and the impact it may have on creators and also Canadian viewers of videos on YouTube. Bill C-10 would let the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecommunications Commission, or the CRTC, set discoverability requirements for Canadian creators so that a certain amount of Canadian content will appear in users' recommended videos. Google writes, quote, if someone is searching for Canadian content, we will show them Canadian content. But if a student is researching American history or someone is looking for the best way to fix a flat tire, we wanna make sure they have access to the most relevant content for their needs. Google argues that C-10 won't let Canadian see video suggestions based on their personal preferences, but instead what the government decides is Canadian. This is fascinating, and it's something that is not new to do Canadian law in terms of mandating certain amounts of Canadian-made content, right, Roger? This is correct. So the whole idea behind Bill C-10 is to update Canada's Broadcasting Act, which in its formulation was designed to promote Canadian content as part of the regulatory, the CRTC, which is like the FCC here in the US, to mandate certain percentage of Canadian content. For example, broadcast stations currently require at least 60% of the content per year is of Canadian origin, and 50% of programming from 6 p.m. to midnight must be Canadian origin. And so the idea is to broaden out that remit to cover online streaming platforms like YouTube, like Netflix, like your Hulu's. And a lot of the pushback comes back because the opponents of the way that Bill is currently written say that those rules were written when broadcast spectrum was scarce and not available there. Not everyone could start their own TV station. Not everyone could start their own radio station. As opposed to YouTube, which is a platform, anyone can start a channel and they can do whatever kind of content they want. Really, I think the crux of the issue is that the way it is currently written is very broad and gives the CRTC a lot of leeway in deciding what rules apply, what rules don't apply. And so what the opponents are saying is that you just kind of have to take it on good faith that this government agency will do quote unquote the right thing when it comes to this content. And they're worried that if you do put in strict mandatory content rating or quotas, that could potentially, for example, if Netflix needs to have 30% of the content to be Canadian origin, are they gonna expand the amount of Canadian production or are they just gonna shrink the library down so that they meet that weighted measure? And so there's a lot of vagaries and a lot of vagueness to it that they wanna see a little more basically to have something a little more explicit in guarantees of protecting content creators in Canada. So they're not necessarily seen as broadcasters and then subject to those same types of rules.  We're just trying to give the people what they want, not necessarily the weight it to be Canadian versus the information from everywhere else. And if that is something that YouTube is gonna have to provide in Canada, what does it mean for other areas of the world? And yeah, so I see why both are arguing for what they want. And where I think there's a lot of confusion on this is that initially there was in the bill an exemption for user-generated content which was subsequently taken out. And so the line on this has always been, listen, this is really for impacting large platforms. But again, Roger, getting back to the vagueness of how this will be implemented and getting into the fact that just defining what counts as a Canadian production has this very complicated, there's a point system.  It gets very nitty gritty.  And ultimately, I mean, a lot of the messaging on this has been kind of been also very incredibly vague. For example, the heritage minister, Steven, oh, I'm gonna mispronounce his name. Steven Cubault, I hope I pronounced it correctly, is basically said in an interview that it would not apply to individual content users unless they reach a certain threshold of subscribers, which can mean like, is it a million? Is it 500,000? Is it three, you know, again, there's a lot of vagueness to it. And a lot of people are like, well, can you just make it a little more explicit? Can you say that, you know, content creators on YouTube or Twitch or TikTok aren't subjected to this. So if I make a super awesome TikTok video that goes viral and I get like 10 million subscribers, suddenly I'm not a broadcaster and subject to these rules. All right, well, Roger and Justin and Sarah, do you like finding free stuff online, but don't wanna sign up as part of a social network to do it? I know I do. Well, Nextdoor just launched a new feature called free finds that might be what you're looking for, sort of. It's a feed of local giveaways and it's available to browse without signing up for a Nextdoor account if you wanna contact a seller about picking upset item, then you do need to go through with the account sign up. You can be able to verify your location. If your cell billing address is the same as your physical address, you can do it by text and it's pretty instantaneous that way. Otherwise you have to go through Nextdoor's mail and system. Odds are your free thing will be gone at that point. Free and buy nothing groups are kind of all over Facebook and other social media groups. And Nextdoor has also seen its own finds marketplace listings up 80% since the start of 2020 with 25% of those listings free items. Kind of an interesting way, I think, to kind of grow their user base kind of with this explosion of, we've seen a face marketplace kind of increasingly popular and kind of leveraging this in the same way. I guess the only reason I think this will work is for people who have heard enough terrible things about other Nextdoor users and they say, I don't wanna be part of that. Just a bunch of people tattling on each other, right? Yeah, Nextdoor, it's for the neighborhood, busy bodies and nosy folks and people not being very neighborly. I am part of my local Nextdoor community. I don't look at it every day, but I'm in there enough. I know in general what's going on and free things or stuff for sale is a big part of that. And I guess if I was like, gosh, I hate Nextdoor, what a crappy place to gossip about my neighbors but I wish I could find some free dining chairs. This would at least give me an entry in. Otherwise it kind of seems like something that Nextdoor already offers. It's pretty simplified. I think the idea is that you have more people that are looking at it by making a free version of it and everybody can complain about Nextdoor until there's a loud noise and you wanna see whether or not somebody saw the transformer explode. There is a reality there that I think this is huge. To be honest, this has been such a gigantic part of our existence personally, moving where we gave away a lot of stuff and now we've kept our eye out on our own new neighborhood to find stuff to fill in the gaps of the new place that I'm kind of surprised that we have not gotten a full on dedicated social network to this aside from the fact that nobody can monetize it because the whole point of it is that you're giving things to each other peer to peer for free. Yeah. The one thing I'll say is this is like, still walled gardens, but Nextdoor is just installing a really big window into one room and I could see them doing the same thing with like events and that kind of stuff which is a huge draw for Facebook, same thing with Facebook Marketplace. I could see them being like, hey, you can view these community events that are happening going on. If you want to RSVP, you need to sign up and get you in. I could see that being an effective way for them to grow their user base. Amazon. One second, one second, Justin. Before you get to that, just wanna remind folks, if you want us to talk about anything in particular, something that's come across your desk, you might let us know by submitting that story to our subreddit. Submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. Amazon, like I was saying before I totally scrolled past the plug, it's adding a new feature for Halo, it's fitness tracker, an app called Movement that measures how a person moves and areas of improvement. It offers up curated exercises. Users will have to record themselves performing various exercises using the phone's camera. With that information, the Movement app will offer routines based on user-specific problem areas that will improve exercise form and mobility. There are a total of 35 possible corrective exercises and the program was designed by physical therapist and author Dr. Kelly Starrett. Of CrossFit fame, I believe. This is a really interesting kind of direction for Amazon to take for their fitness work, or kind of their fitness ambitions in general, because at least from the Apple perspective, what they're doing with Apple Watch, or with Apple Fitness Plus, right? That is very much kind of in the Peloton realm of, hey, you're gonna have on your TV screen, there's gonna be people in front of you that are doing this exact same thing that you're doing. You're part of this group that you're all doing this and it's all great and you're getting positive feedback to keep going, keep exercising.  This is very much in the more personalized healthcare situation, we've seen that taking off a little bit more kind of in the medical field, the kind of personalized healthcare. And Amazon is, I think, is banking on that. I wonder though if, hey, set up your phone and do these stretching exercises by yourself and we're gonna tell you when you do them wrong, certainly useful. I don't know if that's the feeling that people want when they do this now. I haven't used it, so I don't know, maybe there is like a positive reinforcement dynamic that kind of mitigates this. That would be just like, that was just my first thought, like kind of looking at this. Well, as far as I understand it, and I don't have a halo fitness tracker, but Amazon is definitely going with the, we wanna give you data and stats that make sense to you. What's your body mass index? Well, what if we say it a different way so it makes more sense to you, whether your goals or weight loss or improved mobility or strength or your shoulders have better range of motion, all of that stuff. So when you, I think about this all the time because I do a lot of fitness wearing my Oculus Quest. It's like VR working out. And a lot of the time, I kind of look at my Fitbit, which is the fitness tracker that I use after I'm done with the workout. And I go like, okay, I burned 350 calories. That sounds pretty good. But I mean, what if I was squatting improperly the whole time and doing incremental damage to my back every time? And there's a way to have known that ahead of time where I can make adjustments. I'm not saying that Amazon has cracked the code on this. I mean, it's obviously not the same thing as going to a physical therapist. But that kind of data, I think for a lot of people, especially people who are saying, well, I don't really feel good or something kind of hurts or I'm not seeing the results that I was expecting, being able to adjust the way that you're trying to do something correctly can be really helpful. Absolutely. And I think that this is a whole different version of kind of fitness. The idea, there used to be this kiosk at the gym that I was at that would have you do what I presume to be similar ideas here. 10 squats, 10 jumping jacks, stuff like that. It would then map out kind of the joint positions and point out that, okay, you are leaning too much on this side or you are doing things improperly. And so I presume that the next step there would they would try to sell me some plan where I would go forward and correct these things. That's where I think you get the feedback is you do the exercises and then you get your diagnosis. You then get what is essentially, I don't want to say physical therapy, but some sort of set of exercises that would help to correct that.  Amazingly better form even if it's incremental. So I think it's an interesting idea and something that gets us a little bit more coherent in our quantifiable self-revolution where we have nothing but information and not a whole lot else to show for it. The US Supreme Court has slashed the scope of the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act in a six to three decision handed down Thursday. This means federal prosecutors can no longer use this law to charge people who misused databases that they are otherwise entitled to access. Now the central case involved Nathan Van Buren, a police officer in Georgia who searched a license plate database for an acquaintance in exchange for cash and whether he violated US hacking laws by doing so. Van Buren was originally prosecuted on two counts. The first, the first which was thrown out was for accepting money for accessing the database as a serving police officer. The second was for violating the CFAA which was upheld until now. And the legal question wasn't whether or not he had broken the rules, he had broken the rules, but whether or not he had exceeded his authorized access by obtaining the data. Justice Amy Coney Barrett said in the majority ruling, quote, the government's interpretation of the statute would attach criminal penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity. If the exceeds authorized access clause criminalizes every violation of a computer use policy, then millions of otherwise law abiding citizens are criminals. So this was something that civil libertarians had long contended was overreach by the government. It was additional prosecution and often a possible jail time were fines on top of what would be other crimes because you could put this on top of it and then that would give more leeway to prosecutors to do all sorts of prosecutorial things. What's interesting here is the coalition, the 6-3 came from all the liberal justices and all three justices that were appointed by Donald Trump. The three came from the other side of the conservative side of the bench that had not recently been put on. But it does bear at least maybe some sign of optimism that a more coherent view of some of these older laws, specifically as it comes to computer issues might be looked at with maybe little younger eyes, maybe people that have set up their own email accounts. Well, and the thing to keep in mind is also that like accessing these databases that you're authorized to use for unintended or for unauthorized uses or whatever the particulars in this case may be, this may be against the terms of your employment. This may be against the terms of service of that workstation. So you could still lose your job. You could, it's just that you cannot, at least under this ruling be brought up under, this says the president, you can't be brought up under federal charges under the CFAA. Right? Exactly, yeah. That's really what, this is about defining the scope of this law and therefore making it more potent and not something where, in 1986, the concept of this many databases was something really not foreseen by the creators of the law and obviously was kind of used to overstretch their bounds by the prosecutors who were using it. All right, well, hey, we got some cool space news because NASA's new administrator, Bill Nelson, announced Thursday the agency will spend $1 billion to send two new robotic missions to Venus by decades end. NASA's first visit to the planet since the early 90s. The DaVinci Plus mission, that stands for Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry and Imaging Plus, very catchy and obvious, will measure noble gases to store out the planet's origins and sniff for sulfur and carbon near the surface for evidence of recent volcanic activity. Meanwhile, the Veritas mission, Venus emissivity, radio science, INSAR, topography, and spectroscopy. Spectroscopy. Yes, we'll use synthetic aperture radar to look through Venus' clouds and recreate its topography, revealing whether volcanoes or variants of tectonic plates are active on its surface. Venus a notoriously inhospitable planet for kind of exploration. So using some cool tech and gonna be gonna be getting some more information on that kind of moody planet. And also when it comes to Venus versus drones, Venus has a winning record. So let's not get too excited about whether or not these are going to, like just don't expect Mars level information and excitement from either of these drones. Venus is way better at playing defense against drones. But think of all that hot, hot water, Justin. You gotta get there and figure it out. It's gonna be great. Yeah, I, you know, when I first saw the story, I was like, oh, that's cool. We've done that before? Yeah, in the 1990s, in fact. It's been a while though. So hopefully we'll learn a lot more about tectonic plates on that hot planet. They don't last long. So it'll be a flash in the pan. Yeah, well, you know, it's, you know, best of luck robots. Rich, did we get an email today? Yes, we did. Maravina sent us an email and said, quick question about the Amazon mesh network. If you have multiple devices, do you have to opt out of all devices or is it an account-wide opt out? Love the show. Take care. Maravina, that's a good question. We were talking about this with Allison Sheridan the other day. It was funny cause Allison was like, I don't even have this option when I look at my Amazon account. Hopefully she has it since then. I was able to, well, I had the option to opt out. I actually did not opt out. I'm okay with the sidewalk network at this point. But yes, good news, Maravina. It is attached to your account. So if you have multiple Amazon accounts that are using for multiple devices, you would have to do it by account. But no, it's a blanket opt out. So that's good news. If you have questions or comments or anything that we talk about on the show, you can send all of those emails. And we hope you do early and often because we love your feedback.

The issues of transboundary and cascading climatries are at the top of the agenda in the Africa Climate Summit. The CAHOSC, as we normally call it, is the one that provides guidance to the ministers of environment on what to consider and what to put emphasis on in the negotiations. Based on the science indicating that transboundary and cascading climatries are important in Africa, it's critical that we try to share the evidence that is available so that we are able to catalyse support and investment on addressing the transboundary and the cascading climatries.


I'm moving into stories from outside Africa. Olaf Scholz, the chairman social democrat candidate, to succeed Angela Merkel, aims to reach an agreement to form a coalition government. The coalition will be with the Greens and the liberal free Democrats before Christmas. Scholz said a government led by him would offer the United States continuity in the transatlantic relations. In a humorous swipe at petrol shortages in the UK, Scholz said, the free movement of Labour is part of the European Union and they had worked very hard to convince the British not to leave the union. Germanist social democrats will now start the process of trying to forge a three-way alliance. They will lead a government for the first time since 2005. This is after they narrowly won Sunday's national election which Scholz promising stability. The free movement of Labour is part of the European Union and we worked very hard to convince the British not to leave the union. Now they decided different and I hope that they will manage the problems coming from that because I think it's constantly an important idea for all of us to make it happen that there will be good relations between the EU and the UK. But this is a problem to be solved. Let me just add, it might have to do something with the question of wages. If people want to decide for a certain job, they want to know if it's something very good for their whole life and if you understand that being a trucker is something which many people really like to be and you find not enough, this has something to do with working conditions and this has to be thought about.


Hey guys, Mr. Gibson here. Thanks for watching the video here in cryptography. Today, we're going to be talking about the Caesar cipher. So as you mentioned in our last lesson, substitution ciphers are any ciphers where we can map a plain text alphabet to a singular cipher text alphabet. And we saw we could do that in a whole bunch of different ways, 26 factorial different ways. But today, we're going to focus on just one particular way of doing that through the Caesar cipher. So the Caesar cipher allows us to set up mappings using what's called an additive operation. So we're going to need to use some arithmetic in order to set up our cipher text alphabet. The first step in doing any sort of algorithm that requires a mathematical operation is assigning a number to each character in the alphabet. And the way that we're going to do that is say the character a is 0, b is 1, c is 2, and so on all the way on to z being 25. This is a real kind of computer science idea to start counting as 0. We're going to see there's a nice reason that we do this when we start programming this up in Python. But for now, let's just run with the fact that a is 0, even though that might be a little bit counterintuitive, all people want to make a 1. So the idea behind the Caesar cipher is we're going to need a key and the key is a single integer. So I'm going to use a key value here of 10 to go with my plain text message of airport. And the way that the key works is that we're going to take each each plain text letter and we're going to add the key value to it to determine our cipher text letter. So for example, our first letter in our message a, we convert that to 0, and then we're going to add 10 to that to get our cipher text of value of 10, which corresponds to the cipher text letter of K. And we can do that for the same thing for letter i. So plain text letter i is the same thing as an 8. We add 10 to that. That gives us 18, which corresponds to s. Now, when we get to r, something different is going to happen here. r is 17. We'll add 10. That gives us 27, but there is no letter 27. So what we need to do is kind of wrap around. So we need to find an equivalent value between 0 and 25 to 27. And the way we can do that is you could kind of physically count it. So from r, we can go ahead 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The z to a is 9. And then a to b is 10. Another way we can do that is we could mathematically just think about, if I get to 27 and there's 26 letters in the alphabet and I need to wrap it back around, we can just subtract 26 from 27. And 1 is equivalent to b. So that kind of wrap around idea is going to be really important because we're going to do a lot of operations that are going to take our plain text number and try and map it to a cipher text number. But a lot of times we're going to try and we're going to end up calculating a number much bigger than 25. And we need to find the equivalent value. I'm going to go ahead and continue through with the rest here real quick. And once we've finished our complete message, we can write that as k, s, b, z, y. The algorithm to undo this message works almost identically. We would convert our cipher text to a number, subtract off the key value, and if the key value happens to go below zero, we'll just add 26 to map it back to a corresponding value between zero and 25. And that should do it for the Caesar cipher. Next up, we'll look at using operations that are a little more complicated than addition. We're going to try some multiplication and then combining the two. Thanks for watching. We'll catch you in the next one.


Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the history of turmeric is that, according to written history, it has never been found in the wild. Like ever! Never ever! Oh my gosh. Turmeric is the most holy of plants. The Immaculate Plant Conception! Historians believe that turmeric was actually created as a hybrid between curcuma aromatica and another curcuma varietal. Similar to ginger, it's one of the few spices that only grows by planting rhizomes, not seeds. Turmeric's been in use since about 3000 BC, and possibly even longer. In New Delhi, India, 4,500 year old pots were found containing traces of turmeric root, but the western world took a little longer to catch on, as it really didn't get popular in America until about 1980. 80! That was about 40 years ago.  We know it today on eccentric nature. And now, the history of turmeric! Turmeric Ecology! One fun aspect of turmeric's history is just how many names it's had throughout the years. First off, the word turmeric comes from the Latin, terra merita, which translates to meritorious earth. All hail the prestigious and glorious turmeric! Turmeric has been called lots of different things depending on where you've lived and when you lived. In ancient Sanskrit alone, turmeric went by over 50 different names, including fun names that translate to things like golden goddess, fortunate, gives delight to the heart, herb, beautiful as night, and the one whose face is light and shining. Wait a second, you tell me one word means all of that? Well, that's one translation of it. Turmeric is actually the name for the Hindu goddess also known as Parvati. But wait, there's more! In Ayurveda, the ancient form of Indian medicine, turmeric has over 100 different names, including one who is victorious over diseases and as beautiful as moonlight. One of turmeric's most famous names, haridra, has several different meanings. Some simply translate it to mean yellow or the yellow one. But breaking haridra down to its root, it actually refers to hari, another name for the Hindu god Vishnu, and dhara, which means what one wears. So basically it means the stuff that Vishnu likes to use on his body. And if it's good enough for Vishnu, it's good enough for me. Origins of turmeric Now that we've gone through some of turmeric's pseudonyms and connection to gods, it's probably no surprise that turmeric comes from southern Asia and most likely from India, which incidentally is the country that still uses it the most. After a while, turmeric and its cousin ginger were taken out of Asia by the Austronesians who helped spread turmeric over the big and briny sea. Before long, turmeric could be found as far as Madagascar and Hawaii. And it didn't take long to make its way across land to other countries as well. There's evidence that it was already in Israel as early as 2600 to 2200 BC, and the first ever written account of turmeric actually comes from Egypt around 1500 BC. Recent research indicates that turmeric was already making its way around the Mediterranean Sea by 1000 BC. Wow, bump the brakes there, mister! Well yes, turmeric was making the rounds of the spice circles of the Mediterranean. It wasn't immediately the most popular kid on the block. Maybe we should call him Cherkiles. In fact, it pretty much disappeared from Europe for about 2000 years, more about this shortly. First off, we need to move back to India, where turmeric was taken off for several reasons, but not as the tasty spice most people know it for. Turmeric the dye! There is archaeological evidence supporting that turmeric was used as a dye before it was used as a food source. In all those famous yellow Buddhist monk robes, well they were traditionally dyed with turmeric and it doesn't just make yellow, depending on the pH level applied during the dyeing process. Turmeric also has the ability to dye materials in orange or red. Turmeric has even been used as a paint pigment and for dyeing foods like cheese and yogurt. Dyeing materials with turmeric became a widespread enterprise, as evidenced by turmeric dyed cloths from Egypt, India and Mesopotamia. And even the traditional bark cloth used by various Polynesian cultures. Some anthropologists believe that turmeric was being used as a dye around the same time that agriculture was first invented. The expansion of turmeric. Well despite being in use for thousands of years and the Austronesians amongst others trying to get turmeric into Europe and Africa, turmeric was really slow to take off in other countries. I can mention how it was very popular in Ayurvedic medicine and with the Vedic culture in India. But really it's not surprising as India is the one place that turmeric's always been revered. It did start taking off in China, as evidenced by its inclusion in the famous Tang Materia Medica of 659 AD. And as the spice trade routes expanded, you can see it taking a foothold in East Africa around 800 AD. Even the famous explorer Marco Polo couldn't get turmeric to take off in medieval Europe when he brought it over around 1200 AD. Part of this is because as a spice on its own, turmeric really isn't that flashy. It's really only as a supporting player in other food dishes that it really shines. Though the biggest problem that turmeric faced was being overshadowed by its arch enemy, saffron. Oh yeah, saffron, well you're not that great, you know, turmeric is just as good as you.  Before 1000 AD, Spain was one of the only European countries to really become enamored with turmeric, but even they called it curcuma, which is a derivative for the Arabic word for saffron. Even turmeric's biological name still contains curcuma.  Probably not a good thing for building your own reputation when you're always being called by another spice's name. Turmeric Goes Sailing. Despite being humiliated for centuries, turmeric slowly started to scrape and claw its way into the hearts of the rest of the world. A big help was the British East India Trading Company, which helped increase the popularity of curry, and concurrently the popularity of turmeric. But this still took a lot of time. As the first mention of curry in Europe was in a Portuguese cookbook from the 17th century, and it wasn't until 1747 that turmeric appeared in hana glosses the art of cookery made plain and easy. And a recipe for Indian turmeric pickle, no less. Unfortunately, turmeric's expansion also went hand in hand with Indian slavery. Between 1838 and 1917, more than half a million Indians were transported to the Caribbean Islands to fill the gap in plantation labor following the abolition of slavery. Ugh, slavery! Why, people? And one of the only good things to come out of this is that the Indians brought turmeric over with them. Small consolation that. Turmeric's Getting Closer. Turmeric's popularity in the scientific world started to take off in the late 19th century, thanks to discoveries like turmeric paper, which is used to test alkalinity. Don't know what that is? Well, look it up. I can't tell you everything. In 1842, two German scientists discovered turmeric's main active agent, curcumin. And the first paper exploring curcumin's medicinal properties appeared in the journal Nature in 1949. And then, turmeric really started to take off. Nope. Eh. Western medicine still turned its nose up to turmeric in dramatic fashion. Talk to the hand. Turmeric arrives in America. It really is amazing how slowly turmeric was accepted in America compared to other herbs and spices. In the early 20th century, Maud Grieve's famous A Modern Herbal only mentions turmeric as a mild aromatic stimulant seldom used in medicine except as a coloring. Wow. Was she ever wrong? And it was only in the 1960s when more scientists started studying turmeric that Americans finally started acknowledging turmeric's benefits. And by the late 2000s, it had finally taken off to the point where turmeric consumption in the United States increased sevenfold from 2009 to 2019. And now, the USA is the largest importer of turmeric in the world. Importing over $46 million of turmeric in 2020, an increase of over $13 million from 2019. Well, this is nothing compared to India that produces and consumes over 80% of the world's turmeric market with the average citizen having over 2 grams of turmeric per day. That is a wide, wide margin. I don't think anybody's catching India. When did you first try turmeric? Let me know in the comments down below. If you want to learn about turmeric's fun cousin Ginger, then watch one of these fun videos right here. Please be kind. Take care of each other and enjoy the power of turmeric.

Welcome everybody! Hey, today I'm going to show you how to make lobster tails. We're going to broil these in the oven and if you thought they were difficult to make you're in for a sweet surprise because they are not. They are very simple and not only that I'm going to show you how to make a nice little buttered lemon garlic sauce to put over it that is just out of this world delicious. So I'm Rockin Robin and I'm going to show you how to do it right after this. Before we get started, I just wanted to mention that over here at Rockin Robin Cooks we're always cooking up something delicious with flavor being our number one priority and quality ingredients, healthy ingredients number two. So, you know, our recipes are gluten-free a lot of times we're doing some low carb. We're doing Mexican recipes. I know you love those and I tell you, you know if that sounds good to you then go ahead and smash that subscribe button and click the notification bell next to it so you won't miss my new videos coming out every week.  So what I have here is some brown butter. Now, I have a video for you. Go make that. It's super easy to make and it will make a huge difference in your lobster tail flavor. It's so good. It has a nice nutty smell and flavor to it. Man, I wish you could smell that. It is wonderful and you can see the brown bits in this. That's what you want to incorporate into the sauce. And by the way, I'm using a butter from pasture raised cows. Now, I have an organic lemon here because what we're going to do with this is I'm going to use a microplane and we're going to put the skin here into our butter to let those oils infuse for some really delicious flavor along with. I'm going to squeeze some of this in there as well. So go ahead and just do the whole lemon. Next, we're going to add some garlic. I have it in a fresh garlic in my press here and we're just going to squeeze it through and add that to it. Now, I like to add a little bit of paprika. You can use smoked paprika. You can use chili powder. You can use a combination. You can do whatever you want. Sprinkle that in there. I'm just going to toss some in until my sauce has that nice red look to it. We're going to put a pinch of salt because we talked about how this is unsalted. So we'll put a little bit of salt in there. And the last thing we're going to add is some fresh chopped parsley. We've got to have that. All right, we're going to add that to the dish. Nice and green. And then we'll just stir it up. And if it does start to get, you know, cool, it might firm up on you. You can always reheat it in the microwave if you like. But that's perfect and ready to go. We're going to let that set. And like I said, let those flavors infuse. It's going to be incredible. And you can always taste this. In fact, let me do that. I'm going to do a little taste test to see if we need to adjust any flavors. Fantastic. Now we're going to move on to that lobster. All right, so here's my lobster tail. And I'm going to weigh him out just so I have an idea of how much he weighs in. So that will kind of guide me. It says 6.8. So since my lobster weighs about six and a half ounces, then it's going to take about six and a half minutes to all the way up to about 10 minutes to cook him under the broiler. So it will just vary. We want to cook him to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. We don't want to go over that because if we do, then it can turn out pretty rubbery and unappetizing. So we want to make sure we don't overcook it. What we're going to do here is take a pair of kitchen shears like I have here and we're going to snip right under the shell, okay, all the way down his back and we're going to go down to about there. So you just want to snip it off or just snip it in half. I should say not off. And hopefully sometimes you might get some shell that breaks off. So you want to make sure you try and get that out of there. You can wear gloves if you want.  And then take your fingers and just kind of run it down the side. You want to release the meat from the shell on both sides. You hear the cracking. All right. So once you kind of release that, we want to get it underneath. So you want to stick your fingers under the meat but next to the shell, okay. And you're going to lift the meat up. You see how I've done that? I'm lifting it up all the way up. And what this does is it lifts it up so we can pull it up like this, right. Close the shell back up a little bit so that the meat can sit on top. This will make a nicer presentation plus it'll make it easier for it to broil. Now I'm going to clean this up a little bit. Make sure I don't have any little shells on there before we put our sauce on top of this.  So I'm going to pour because I have too much sauce, butter sauce for just one lobster. I'm going to pour some of this into a separate bowl so I don't contaminate it. And I'll show you what I mean here in a minute. Okay, we're going to take our little lobster and we're going to place him on our cookie sheet. I'm going to place him right there like that. And then I have my sauce right here with a brush and I'm going to brush it on. And let's get the bottom first. Might as well, right? I want to get it all over so that we don't miss anything and make sure that he's just very flavorful. Gotta make sure that shell is closed when you set him back down.  Just let that sauce just go everywhere. And I will probably baste him one more time as he's cooking and he's ready to go. So I've got my oven in the broiler setting and we're going to check it in about six minutes. And I have an instant read thermometer here. These guys are indispensable. We want our temperature to be no higher than 140, hopefully. And that will tell us when it's ready. So in the oven we go. Alright, so I've got my oven set up. It's on broil, the heating element. I want the pan to be about six to eight inches from the heating element. So we are going to place him in second rack down. And I'm going to try and line him up so he's underneath one of the heating elements right there. And we're going to keep the door open because I want to keep an eye on him. And I'm going to set my timer for six minutes. You can see how our lobster has turned a nice red color. Isn't that beautiful? Alright, so six minutes and we're going to test with our instant read thermometer. Just make sure you try and get it right in the middle of the meat. And we're at once fifteen, fourteen, it's going down. So we have a little ways to go yet. Go ahead and baste it just a little bit more before we put it back in the oven. Okay, nine minutes and our lobster tail is done. Smells incredible in here. Okay, so I'm going to place my lobster tail. Place it right on the plate. Just like that. Now what I did was I cooked up for my meal to go with it. It is some gold potatoes. I just basically just coated them, rubbed them with some olive oil and some salt. And I placed them in the oven 425 degrees and just roasted them for like 30 minutes. And boom, they turned out beautiful. So I placed some of those and I steamed up a little broccoli. Very simple meal guys, but very delicious and almost elegant looking. So I'll put some of that on my plate. Can't wait to dig in here. All right, let's do a taste test. See if I can cut a little bit of this off. Little piece here. That sauce is amazing. I like that potato. Such a good meal. Man, that is delicious. That sauce is what makes it make sure you use brown butter. It is the best. It makes it taste so flavorful. You're going to love it. You can use regular butter, but I'm telling you, you'll miss out on a ton of flavor. So thanks for watching everybody. Subscribe to my channel, share the video and leave me a comment. And hey, what the heck, give me a thumbs up too. All right, thanks again. We'll see you next time.


I'm Richard Axelby. I'm an anthropologist and I work at SAWAS as part of the Global Research Network on Parliaments and People. I'm also the Chief Returning Officer of the Living Democracy Exhibition. One of the things I'm really interested in is elections. I just find them fascinating, you know, the sort of the noise and the tumult and that sense of uncertainty. No-one knows how it's going to go, so all identities are sort of fluid and statuses are not determined. So I love that sense of all the people that sort of go and queue up ballot boxes or go to vote and will spend the day making decisions that are going to affect the next four or five years. And I've followed those in India and I've followed them also in the UK. One of the things I always think about elections is when you get to the ballot box and you cast your vote, you take all these different feelings with you, you take all these different hopes and all these different fears and all these different ideas about the candidates or about the parties they belong to or about the policies that they're going to enact. And then you have to make a decision and those decisions are very simple decisions. They're quite often a binary decision, a vote for yes or no, remain or leave, or to vote for this candidate instead of another candidate. So we wanted to sort of reflect that in our exhibition and we asked a series of questions at the end of the exhibition. We asked questions like, are all politicians the same? Have you ever visited Parliament? Do traditional parliamentary rituals undermine democratic participation? And finally, who gets to decide the answers to these questions? We asked these questions and we asked people to vote on them. So you have the option to vote at the end of the exhibition. Everyone can have a vote, but it's always this very binary simple yes, no type questions which can be really frustrating because you don't get to explain why you feel that all politicians are the same or not all the same. You don't get to say anything about why you've never visited your Parliament. You don't get to say why you feel that traditional rituals are good for democratic participation or bad for democratic participation. You either vote yes or no. And in a normal election, it's up to politicians. Once the voters have made their choice, it's then up to politicians to interpret what that choice actually means to go into the Parliament and try their best to sort of reflect their voters' beliefs and wishes. But we've done something slightly different because we're encouraging you. When you vote, we're also encouraging you to spoil your ballot paper. So you come in here, you can vote in a normal way, but also maybe you want to write a poem or draw a drawing or say something about words of encouragement or hope or fear. So do come along to the Living Democracy exhibition and at the end of the exhibition, you can vote, count the votes and we'll show some of the best creative contributions to those votes.


Absolutely. Hi, Mike. How are you? I'm good. How are you? What is the challenge at this rookie mini camp maybe compared to past ones with limitations in numbers or is it just maybe tweak a few things here and there to you know to get the work in that you need to and I guess just after last you're not having a rookie mini camp. Nice to be able to have these guys in here to get started working with them so quickly. Yeah I mean it's very exciting which we said to be able to work with a group of players that you know we evaluated you know for for quite some time to get them in here to to get them to understand our program things that we believe are important begin to teach them get into a schedule get into a routine install our begin to install some of our offensive and defensive and special teams terminologies and plays and then as far as the numbers go I mean it's it's kind of different every year this year we've got a decent nice group of offensive linemen but unfortunately only one defensive one so a lot of the stuff has been group work and individual but I do feel like there's been a lot of great teaching and there was a lot of really good energy out there today I feel like we we were better today than we were yesterday. Mike, we were talking to Dylan earlier. How did Buck get so high up in the batting order? You tell me man I'm just I'm just waiting for the uh waiting for the opportunity. It just came it just threw me off a little bit. Well listen I can I can stick around or I can ask him now. No absolutely.  You better bring it. All right Dylan was talking to us earlier about you've been preaching to them that they their objective is to make an impression over the course of this rookie mini camp. I know it's individualized but are there ways that you can like cite examples of guys that have made impressions on you so far? Well I think the message and and and I've tried to continue to preach to our veteran players and our rookie players is his coaches everybody is coming and try to make a daily impact and make an impact on this organization make an impact on this team and you know I think the easiest way for them is to to do that is by by being coachable learn learning what to do not making the same mistakes twice uh trying to take the coaching from the meeting rooms to the field and then the coaching that they receive on the field um translating that to the next player the next time that they get the opportunity so that's really the way that they can um I think make the biggest impact each day to this team. Harry? I'm kind of following up on Unbuck's question and I know it's a long process because this is just the first step but is there a quality or two or trait that is kind of universal when you start knowing when it's time to put some of these young guys in the lineup and see what they can do? Well they're all going to get an opportunity Terry. I think that the lineup questions uh at rookie minicamp are are a little premature but we talk about um you know being in a position to take advantage of your opportunities and that opportunity may be this week for for some players and maybe this weekend if they're a tryout player um you know we've had those players that made an impact on us over a couple days and we've added them to the roster but as but as far as the lineup I think that that's a little premature I think that these guys are trying to be great teammates, learn our system, learn each other, and appreciate the work that they do each and every day and you know we'll see what it looks like when we we get with our veterans and see how they develop that way. Ron? What's up coach? Hi Tomas. We see Coach Bowen really moving around to the different different units uh for you when you kind of made that transition from being focused on one point to moving around how much did that help you just kind of put your stamp as a defensive coordinator on the defense? I think it's important for for the head coach to to be visible I think it's important for for our coordinators um and I think that that's the same thing that everybody's trying to do is is continue to try to make an impact and work their way around and evaluate and try to help coach wherever we can. Rex, Ron? Yeah Mike just wondering if you can let us know what's going on Elijah Molden why he was not there today? Elijah did a little bit of work towards towards the end and again you know Joe we've been through this for a few years everybody each day has a different plan and so part of Elijah's plan today was to do the walkthrough and then do some of the group and and some of the seven on seven at the end. Okay so yeah so injury related then in some form. Joe he did some of the practice and and did some of the walkthrough so if there was an injury report which there's not I think Robbie would probably come together and say that he was limited. Jim Wyatt? Mike do you challenge some of uh you know the the draft picks maybe some of the guys to take on a leadership role even in a rookie camper do you want some of that to come naturally? Yeah I mean I people make a bunch of money about trying to develop leaders by selling books and you know infomercials I think it's probably the most overrated thing I've ever heard of in my life. You either are going to be a natural leader and you can improve or you're going to be somebody that you know isn't quite a leadership role but but can certainly excel at at their role. We ask these guys to take care of each other I think that's the biggest thing. I think leaders will kind of come out. My point to these guys is they're all sweating like I've been there everybody else has been in a new position where they feel like they're by themselves and they've got other guys that are working through this process of learning new terminology and and things that are happening quick and changing out there so the biggest thing that to me is trying to help the guy next to you communicate help them do his job better but you know as far as trying to challenge anybody because they were drafted to be a leader we didn't draft them to be a leader we hopefully drafted them or sign them so that they can work hard and be a great teammate and develop a role in this football team. Eve Layman. Hey Mike after not having the opportunity to have this weekend last year do you have a different level of appreciation for being back out there with the rookies and how important is it for them to have these couple days just on their own with you and the coaching staff to really get off on the right foot? Well one I'm always appreciative of the opportunity to coach this team Steve and on the football field in meetings it's an honor and a privilege to be a part of this league to have played in it to have been lucky enough and fortunate enough to coach in it and I do think it's important I think it's I think it's critically important that they do have this time by themselves veterans aren't here they'll be plenty of time for that you know when we get moving on into phase two and what phase three would look like and the other thing I really noticed is the fundamentals you know these guys were away from their colleges for a while as well and maybe some of them opted out maybe some of them had a shorter season maybe some of them didn't have a very long training camp or a ramp-up period before their season no spring practice and that was the one thing that I really tried to impress upon these guys is that we got to get going teaching and coaching technique and fundamentals Luke? Mike we know you guys hold your guys to a high standard of character learning what you have about Rashad Weaver do you still believe that he fits within that model that you all have? Well man I think we're all held to a high standard you know by the national football league you know by the organization and everything I've seen from you know Rashad here in person has been one that's been attentive wants to try to be a good teammate and is taking coaching we're certainly we understand the severity of the the accusations we take them very seriously but we're also going to allow the legal process to play its part and run its course. Did you know about the charge when you drafted Rashad? I think we've made a statement on that Luke I think we became aware after I think it was Monday when we put the statement out. Gentry? Yeah Mike when you when you look back at you know some of the the guys that have come through tryouts or undrafted guys who have made it what's what's kind of stood out what are you looking for out of those guys to to impress enough to to be able to to make a run at it that way? There's always just kind of something Gentry it's you know whether they go out there and and like Jim mentioned they excel in a leadership role that maybe we didn't see maybe they picked up the the offense or defense to a level that would allow them to not only know their job but also you know help the guys around them I think they're they have to exhibit some sort of skill set. You know I guess just looking back at Robert Spelane he was a tryout guy who who came and was athletic he's much more athletic than I think we recognized on tape and his ability to pick up the system and I think there's just a combination but you kind of just you kind of know you kind of see it it's either there or it's not. Paul. Micah the numbers that you have you talked about having the offensive lineman not having the defensive lineman do you like that shape some of what you did like did you have a run period today with maybe working on run fits because you could stack coaches and equipment guys on the other side and had had a almost a full cast of characters for that? Well we refer to them as as the look team not cast characters but you know all our practices I think are just trying to be structured based on who we have who's available and I thought that was some really good teaching you know that's that allows those offensive players those offensive linemen to get a look at what that half of the line may look like make their calls based on is that a shade is that a three is that a five where's the safety a lot of those things when you put the installation in there's there's a million adjustments based on fronts so I thought that that was a very efficient drill I thought it was run at a pace that that allowed the players to to take a lot of reps to to give a look at it but then not have to go against or not be against the defensive player which we know in rookie mini camp can can get competitive and you know you end up with guys on the ground we're not trying to do that we're trying to teach and and get these guys to understand our technique and and then what their job is sticking with the the great coaching you're talking about naquan jones gets a real treat these three days in terms of being he had three coaches with him at one time just just with him he's getting some special treatment out of that huh in a good way in a good way um you know we we were excited to be able to add you know connect you daisy who was a former player who somebody that I met a few years ago in a in a scouting process and he was coaching and kept a relationship up with him and an opportunity to add him to that room and you know I know that he'll he'll assist T who we've got a lot of respect for um as a defensive line coach and um you know we were excited to be able to add naquan in the post draft process and you know it is a little unique with just just the one defensive lineman and uh but I just was cutting out some of his clips today and I'm going to be excited to show the team about what he's improved on tomorrow morning. Ben Arthur. Hey Mike what would you say to you know some of those on on the outside who may you know kind of have have concerns or questions about you know y'all's um you know scouting process just having the rashad weaver situation sort of come out of the blue like straight from left field what would you kind of say to those people well man I think we uh we stand by our process Ben you know we uh again the the allegations we take very seriously but but I think that I haven't talked to John and met with John as much as I have and you know his scouts and our coaches you know we stand by the process and you know of evaluating players and there's always going to be things that come up and we'll do our best to do everything we can to to avoid those and and then work through them uh when they happen. Couple more Chris Harris. Hey Mike how encouraging is it just from a team standpoint that safety protocols and stuff are loosening it up you know relative to what the CDC has said we're out there with no masks on today and you guys are able to have more contact in person just how encouraging is that for you guys? I think it's exciting for everybody it's exciting for you know our country it's exciting for our city you know that we can we can hope that we're playing in front of a lot of fans and our fans at home fans on the road it's great for our league but our families you know obviously the health and safety of everybody involved but that is encouraging and it's you know we try to follow the protocols exactly as they give them to us. Luke? Mike how have you seen Caleb attacking the work he's been doing with Todd and then inside with the playbook and in meetings? I think that that's uh we we and we try to talk about when we're not available to focus on the things that we can do and not not the things that we can do and he's doing everything that we're asking him to do he's studying he's been conscientious he's answered the questions that I've had for him in our team meeting as it relates to his assignments he's answered them with with Shane and he's trying to stay focused with with Anthony Anthony Midget and then all the reports that I've gotten from Todd is that he's he's working hard and doing everything that they're asking him to do. Last question Jim Wyatt. Mike what's the plan for the rookies uh when rookie many campaigns tomorrow? Uh the plan is to try to get some rest and and they have a program ready for them on Monday that will allow for them to to grow on this process and continue to develop as we add more things and then we'll probably get them with the with the veterans they'll be in with the veterans after about a week but as far as my plan is I'd like to keep them separate for another week so that we don't slow down the the installation and the teaching that we've had with veterans and also not to to waste the the rookies time and and speak over them but they've got a week to catch up to where our veterans are on the 24th but we'll be on the 24th. All set. Thank you coach. Great to see you guys out there. Thank you.


It's time to go behind enemy lines presented by Windows 11. Pleased to be joined by my friend Frank Frangy, the voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars for our second visit of 2021. How you doing, Mr. Frangy? I'm doing well. Am I good to be honest? How are you? How's everything up in Nassos? We get set to get up there. Everything is set. We're rested. Finally, the bye finally came and we had the opportunity to catch our breath a little bit with such a big deal for this football team. Your bye was way back on October 24th. Was that a good time or a bad time for a Jacksonville bye? I think the bye might have been a little bit early. They could use a break right now because offensively it's a tough go right now for the Jaguars. Frank, what are the problems on offense that you're identifying right now? I think more than anything else, they don't have any receivers down the field. Mike, that's the biggest thing is they don't have anybody that can get open down the field. He's got a young quarterback. He's got to learn the league. He's got to learn how to play. I think there's a host of things that are connected to that. There's not much open down the field. There's one thing I would identify Mike, it's better receivers. They need better receivers. Talk to me about Trevor Lawrence's year. At this point, nine touchdowns, ten interceptions. He's been sacked 22 times. He has run the ball pretty well. 49 carries for 241 yards. You touched on it a little bit, but take it further as you characterize Trevor Lawrence's year. He's got to learn how to play. They've got to learn how to play with him. Usually, the Clemson receiver was faster than the Wake Forest cornerback. That's just usually the way it was. Well, here, they're all the same. They're all fast and they're all good. The good thing about Trevor Lawrence, Mike, he's a great kid. He's humble. He's a good dude. He understands. He doesn't throw anybody under the bus. He's going to be just fine, but we're seeing that learning process that is painful right now. James Robinson ran very well against the Titans back on October 10th. 678 yards rushing on the season for the second-year man. How has he done running the football since we saw one another two months ago? Mike, he's been hurt all year. He's had an ankle. He's had a knee. He's such a tough guy that he plays through it. And they're not sure what to do. But he started the game, got hurt. Two plays in, fumbled. You could tell he wasn't himself. So the next 16 plays, they didn't use him. They used Carlos Hyde. Then he goes back in. They're trying to figure out, do you shut him down for a while?  To your question, Mike, he's been beat up really, probably ever since that Titans game. Good player when healthy, but he's really fought that knee and ankle stuff. Frank Francie, you gave some kudos to the Jacksonville defense earlier in the conversation. What have you liked and who have you liked through 12 games through this Jaguars defensive attack? Guy I like the best is the coordinator. They found something in this guy, Joe Cullen. He's pretty good. They've inserted Rudy Ford in as their nickel. He's more of a safety special teams guy, but he's one of the fastest guys on the team. He's big. He's built like a safety. That's helped the cause. The rookie out of Georgia, Tyson Campbell, is going to be a good cornerback. So they're getting there. Miles Jack, I think Miles Jack's one of the best linebackers in the league. He doesn't get that attention because the team has been very good. And Josh Allen's put it at a good level. What they've got to do is they've got to get the other side, whether it's Caleb on chase on or smooth. The guy playing opposite Josh Allen's got to play better. I think that's part of it. If the offense was helping at all, the defense would be at worst the middle of the pack defense. I really believe that even without Derek, you guys are a physical football team. I'll be interested to see how they match up there. All right, Frank, since we've seen one another, you've beaten the Miami team that's now won five in a row. You've beaten the Buffalo Bills, and that certainly got everybody's attention. What's the formula for Jacksonville to come into Nashville and win on Sunday? You're going to have to keep it close.  You're going to have to run the ball. I think the Jags are going to have to run the ball because the Titans are going to run the football. They're going to have to keep the game in the teams. Right now, the Jags aren't a team. The Jags are the only team in the league that hasn't scored 24 points in a game. But still, as you talk about this year and you see Trevor Lawrence and some of the young players come on with what the Jaguars have in terms of draft capital and the financial aspect, plenty of salary cap room, still a bright future for that organization going forward. So while down a bit now, Frank, not the end of the world looking at Jaguar football moving forward. Here's what I'll tell you to add, Mike, and I really believe this, not just because I'm calling the games here. When someone gets that really good quarterback, they tend to become good pretty quick. So I think they've got the quarterback here, Mike. They've got to go get those guys around them. That's such a big part of a young quarterback's development. And then when teams do that, suddenly they go from not very good to pretty good. In our business, as you know, we want to move on to some hope. We want our fans to hold on to some hope. Well, that's the hope. Frank Franci, voice of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thank you so much for your time as always. Always great to catch up, Mike. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
