Hey, hey, how are you good? How are you dealing with the the old pandemic right now? How you doing? Can't do much have to be at home, you know, you know, so just reading few scripts and Sleeping and eating more Do it home it was a thank you so much for for talking to us man. We really appreciate it Actually Few days back. I was somebody just sent me a video of you guys Watching the eighth episode of Pataloog and I just saw the reaction of it And I was like I was loving it and telling my friends case see this This is so original, you know the the kind of feedback to the visuals and the characters and I just love that man Thank you and thank you and we really appreciate you doing the show We thank you loved it. It was a phenomenal show. We loved you in it Well, we'll talk about that more as well but how did We've seen you in a few things I think of the first thing. Well, was it gangs or Rossi the first thing we saw him in Rick I actually think the first thing we For you, yeah, yeah, Gangs of was a very was the first thing on your resume But I think we actually saw Rossi first and then we saw gangs. Oh, yeah So we've seen you a few times, but this was it felt like you had basically become a different person in and but not a lock It was it was a great great Character, so I'm wondering how did how did the opportunity come about and how did when you first read the script? How did you? How did you like the character? well, if you see the kind of filmography I have It's you know, I don't know maybe the way I look Which is very hard and harsh looks I have so I always get these you know very dominant Male characters either either they are negative or you know the gray shade or the positive characters, but they're always very dominating Take it for for Gangs of Wassey poor or Razi or maybe wish or upum with Kamal Hassan So they're all very very dominating characters. So first time when I have I read this this particular script Patan look I was like oh Hatir is is not is not one of them, you know He is is he's very common man You know you see him around you and you you have seen people like him you know struggling in life to get to get better in life and You know, they need one one good chance to go there and And I see Hatir I mean every man, you know throughout the world when when you believe in something so nicely, but Maybe the time or system or or your circumstances. They don't allow you They don't they don't give you those opportunities and once you are so desperate to to you know to To get something or to prove something You get a chance and you don't want to leave it You know, so that that was the first thing which struck in my mind that Hatir I'm is very vulnerable is very human like he He is very irritating and he's very lovable at times. He's a powerful at times. He's very, you know powerless. There are Many shades in in hot and at the same time the entire script was so nicely written and you know We wouldn't do each other. So I love that writing. So yeah, that was the start of it Yeah, and the character arc that we watch with this character We absolutely loved and for us there were two moments for him that seemed to be Really pivotal in his his growth and one of them was when his wife slaps him Yeah, it was that for you as well when you read the script Did you see that as a pivotal moment for the character when she slapped him almost like a wake-up call for him in a way? Yes, you know what there are many very small moments in the in the script when you can say that they were pivotal very into that zone of you know of Not going back again now because this is it and right I have to achieve this to get all the all the love and Right of course that was one moment But I think for me it was it was the moment when I saw my son on bed He's hurt somebody has been And that is the moment that if I can't even save or can't even protect my child I'm supposed to do What I'm gonna I'm gonna do in my career or in my at my job I can't in a force. I'm in the forces. I am in I'm a police officer and I can't even protect my son He's going haywire. He's going out of line. He's going somewhere He might and being a police officer, you know the way the way his his son is Getting things and he has involved. He's been involved in in these things in life He knows as a police officer that he might get killed or he might end up in jail some At this part So I think for men when it's like I have to do it. I can't I can't be at back foot right now Yeah Yeah, that's that that's life is very interesting also in that's in that sense that still makes you back on the ground and Realize that you have to be in all your senses. You can't just go haywire. You have to be understood You have to be kind of, you know Careful with the things also Yeah, yeah, yeah, did yeah, did she actually slap you? Yeah, in in two takes actually I took it once I Generally wanted to do one one take and I remember she was she was we were rehearsing and she was slapping me and you know With a fake slap and everything else and then I realized When it come for my close up, I realized that it this this there has to be an impact This is this is very crucial for so in one take I took it I genuinely just before the take I just leaned in like half half a feet and she didn't and notice that so for her I had to do it. I didn't know No other way around I thought that's awesome I wanted to talk to you about the new trend in India with all the web series going on Netflix Amazon The platform they're giving really talented, but a lot of people would consider underrated like yourself And people like that the opportunity to really shine and show your talent And what do you what do you what do you do you see it as a new trend in Hollywood and I mean I Think it is because I think already platform is the one where India for Indian audience. It's very new, you know It's just for three or four years and especially for last two years It's been more and this this lockdown situation make it more, but you know in trend Because people at home for last four months So suddenly they they realized that this all the platform that play Amazon or all these platforms they they have things we can watch, you know if they have Stuff so I think it's very new for India In terms of people watching entertainment or shows or films or things on on on these platforms It's growing up and it's definitely good for for the people Who don't get chance in in mainstream Bollywood cinema because there are you know there you can't make those kind of films and you can't make everybody You know in a lead role and it's kind of kind of at the end of the day It's business, you know you people go and watch films in theaters and you put so much amount of money on a film If you go don't get back. It's a disaster, right? So so I think This is good for for and With the products like, you know platform though The privilege of having a star face is gone because people out of country don't know you so they they look at the content So yes, so if the content is not good It's not gonna it's gonna the star face doesn't want to help you in a way because they don't know that face Only your people know that face So they give you that money in theaters not on not on Netflix because they don't know you So that that's that's happening Like if if we consider as we Indian audience and we see in a bar of blood or or maybe or lucifer or maybe What the game game of thrones and many series we see Untouchables and we know those actors because they have done something great on screen We don't know their faces before that before that product Yeah before that series. So we started knowing them money heist was a big hit in India. Yeah, you know that game of thrones was Super duper hit Yeah Bar of blood and all these things are super duper because now people know those actors and they go back and google them and then see their other stuff also So this global thing makes it more I think makes it more authentic for for for writers and for directors and for actors They want to work In in an environment or on the content, which is globally accepted Yes Yeah, yeah Globally accepted as well as the fact that there are certain restraints that are put on you when you do something Yes Exactly versus stuff you can do. We asked that question of both Nwazid and Siddiqi and Anjuan Kashyap said if you had a preference Do you prefer the process of television versus film? They said they preferred the television process to you Television for for this you mean the OTT yeah OTT platform? Yes, yes, I think I see see that they both have their own kind of courage mind in sense You know when you go for a film, which is you know on a big screen Audience see you and they shout on your name and they you know, they throw even they throw coins On on screens. That's how it is. This is crazy in India for that So that's also a very nice, you know view. That's also a very nice thing to watch but I think It there has to be there. There is a good balance now because On on audit platforms as you said that there is no censor for for this But there is of course there is self censored thing OTT platforms gives you a rating for like 18 plus or 13 plus or 10 plus They they give you choices to go there and watch them So which is I think which is more good because you have to at the end of the day You have to understand which what do you want to see? And if you don't give a good content people have the button in their head They will switch you and go on something else Right So I think I love both of them in a way because I love that kind of Indian cinema I have seen the power of that cinema people watching those actors on screen even If I talk about like Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui and I have seen him on screen I have worked with him in Gangsova Sibar and I've seen him growing Growing As an actor also and as a star also Just before the day of Gangsova Sibar Who he was an actor who's working as an actor in Indian cinema as name called Nawaz Uddin Siddiqui Within three days. He was the heartthrob of India We see that power of Within three days. I'm telling you it was like people were going mad about him And they have they go they went back and saw everything he had worked on like every small Characters he has worked on like maybe two scenes in a film or one scene a film And they loved it So that also has a power in in in the terms of if you if you're doing good that also a great Scenario and sometimes there are few stories who you can tell only two and a half hours or two and two minutes Two hours or two and a half hours in ten minutes. You can't stretch that that story in in in nine hours or ten hours You know, you will lose that story So it depends on the content actually. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm I love the amazon's doing a phenomenal job with content. Yeah And and doing interesting stories with great actors like yourself Mirage and Abhishek And and many of their other series as well and Netflix is doing stuff and So I love that it's One given great content with great stories, but also giving Actors who aren't the star actors the platform. Yes their talent. That's Yes, yes, but I I do wonder. Do you know if uh, we're gonna get a season two Well, I had uh, I had Some some kind of rumored thing because I had never talked about it When I was approached for this, but there was no season two at that time of Uh, that that kind of time But then Anushka ma'am said somewhere that uh, we are for that they could be a season two and Then the creator of the show Sudheep Sharma. He said that okay, we are we are thinking now. I think on on a very nice I think the on the amazon and Anushka and Sudheep can tell you the real story behind it. I so want to be Yeah, in the in the singing. Yeah, because I I really need I I think everybody wants it I think it's not just me everybody wants a season two of pata love and it's gonna be a great journey again It's gonna be happy for me. But yeah, great Yeah, it's it's one of our favorite things about the show We regularly will look at the films and there are certain shows and certain films We can recommend to people here in america that we tell them Do not presume you know indian artistry because most americans, they think With musical numbers and things like that. Yeah, one of our favorite things about the look is it's it's both very indian But it's also very universal. Yes. Yes. Yes. One of our favorite things about the show Um, I had a question for you about something we observed in the character and in Early on We noticed the way that he's talking to his wife and to his son and for me and I both mentioned about being rude to her But we had a lot of Those are subscribers say to us. Hey, that's normal behavior for a lot of indian men here in india We saw a transformation In your character from the first episode to the end. He becomes the gentler kinder Man, I think that was intentional, wasn't it? Yes. Yes. Yes I think I think see You know, uh, it's I think it's what makes it Universal the behavior of hathira makes it universal When I have seen this, uh, uh, you know, uh, without being an uh Only not indian, but I have seen this in cinema worldwide that The people in their bad times or in their down going times. It's like they are losing stuff They're losing control in life. They get hyper in in life, you know They they get irritating in life very small things It's just a natural human behavior. I think there is a if somebody you you see a kid who is just five years old And some somebody snatches his pen or pencil or maybe a book. He's very fond of he gets very hyper, you know Which he deserves Better in a way. So I think this is very universal behavior That hathiram in the state of hathiram when there is nothing there is no ray of hope for him Nothing is going in the right direction. He's more irritating. He's more he's more Illogical in life I'm sure that he has been a very gentle man and very gentler and kindler man In in in the past, but during the circumstances and you know in the past 10 and 15 years There is a dialogue in in in the very first episode when he says that this is the life You know, there are three three subsections of life. There is sorgh loak and there's Dharthi loak and Bata loak. There are people in different zones and different social strata of life And that counterpart Ansari says sir The Hindi line is the asa nahi hota hai. That means that It does not work like that Then he says of course it does you have been in the service for just three months I have been in the service for 15 years 15 fucking years and I know what happens to a man to a man who is who is who is who is very I When I was designing the background of hathiram I always knew that he used he used to be a very good life human being and a very nice cop He was very idealistic for the job He was very, you know honest for the job But the system Just crashed him in a way. Yeah, they don't want an honest man in the mainstream because he may cause Problem for everyone in the system. So they just sideline him slowly and steadily They just sideline him. So for him now it's just you know going for a job and just Being bored there and getting a salary. That's it and he know that he can do better He always knew that So that behavior changes When he is getting into the right zone of his own mind He's getting control out of the non-controllable situation Yeah, so when he's getting control of the situations, he's getting more gentler now.   I know I say I told you pop. I told you pop. I handle it. I'll handle it. So relax So that's kind of Michael Corleone line, you know telling to Don Vito Corleone. Okay. I told you why something bothering you It's okay. I told you I'll handle it. So I'll handle it Relax There's some more wine. I'll I'll take care. He's so calm in that situation So I think that happened to Hathira And you talked about his his background. Is that something that uh, how How detailed do you get with your background of your characters? Is it something that you normally discuss with the director or do you take it on yourself and then bring it to the director? What's your process with that? I think it depends both ways. Uh, when it first of all, it was very very, uh, you know nicely written and very Uh elaborately written by Sudeep sir is he's amazing is like that writings are so amazing I I when I read it. I was like, oh, you have done my job like most of my job on the paper Which is great because that's how that's how uh, it has to be So I what I did I read that script so many times Because I that's my personal belief if you if you want to know a character on paper You have to go through him You know number of times because like in life if I meet Both of you, uh, first time we have a you know, kind of Behavior in between because we don't know each other Maybe after 10 meetings or a month or like meetings 100 times We know each other. So we know how how rig gonna, you know, behave or how going to behave in some circumstances You know, so it's the same process for me if I want to know a character on paper I need to read it again and again and again and again So so that I can understand what why he's doing something in in some given circumstances in a given situation So on that I think I go back I take from the this thing and then I go back. I think that has to be uh, kind of The right way because I can't make a background and then ended up Wrong situation because uh, I have to start from here and going backward to the life So You see haathiram have the relationship with my wife and the son So I have a kind of I I do that that I take my own background And catch up with the director or show creator and to just to have you know, uh, kind of meetings and sittings Discussing how it would have been for haathiram in in the past life and What circumstances he had been there where he was born where he was studied where he how where and how he got married And you know first job and so there are glimpses In in the writing, you know, you can see those glimpses in the writing when he says don't talk about my father every time I do something my dad used to beat me like hell. I don't touch your son Why are you? Why are you saying that you always compare me with my father? Because there's a tense relationship with father So I I I I in great writing it is Uh, there's a common thing in every good writing because there's there are I believe there are threads Of your characters lying in those In those in that script You can find a thread maybe in the seventh episode of of haathiram's motivation when he says that I have seen, you know Uh, the kind of rejection in in my father's eyes for me throughout life But I can't see the same rejection same hatred in my son's eyes for my rest of my life So that's kind of a motivation for him also that I just cannot lose this case right now Even if I'm dead, I would prefer that I just cannot lose this so I find all these little threads in the lying in those scripts So I have to read it like and it always happens when you see a film Maybe 15 times or 30 times or 40 times you will find a different Maybe one line different in a different notion. That's Mm-hmm That's I think that comes from the theater because in theater that happens, you know In maybe 20th show you get to know.  This was the line which has to be In a different way. Yes that happens That happens in theater And that the theater is the oldest oldest form of of acting So I I I believe in that form because I have to read it and in films. We can't do we can't do that What is your theater background? I had I Go for theater. I used to do theater in my college time and then dead for like three hours three Three years and then I joined the film and television issue of India, which is in Pune So it's a proper two years training course Acting training course So yeah, three three a three and a half years of theater. Yeah, that's awesome Well, it's very clear from your work As well as the way you converse Your training one of my favorite things about you as an actor Are things that a lot of people don't pick up on unless they know what to look for and there there isn't a moment Where I see you on screen and I know We're already processing where you were Uh Yes, there's always the believability of even in a chase scene I know you did the work before they said action You knew where your character was two scenes before and what was leading you into that scene Yes, and and that's that um I would and I we tell people all the time for aspiring actors We tell them training training training and I would imagine you'd say the same thing Yes Yes, but that helps in a lot, I mean As we were talking about reading a script that helps a lot If you don't read a script you don't know the flow of your thing Even if you are like and especially especially uh in cinema a theater is a different thing when there's there's Though, you know curtain is open Everything is an actor's hand the cinema is not like that We can start from the last scene of the of the film or the show So you have to understand the graph of it. My first day of shoot Was a scene from uh episode six and seen from episode one two scenes I did for first day first day of the shoot So you need a good team also to understand that You know, there was there was a very good team To make me understand. Oh, this has happened, you know, and this has not this is going to be After this scene and this the story has you know has traveled Till here like this But I think that's why I said that I had to read that story So many times that I don't think when I go on on sets. I know it's not about oh Sorry, what happened in the last scene or what happened in the last no that cannot happen If that that is happening to an actor I think you will lose the spontaneity of the scene you will lose the entire Entire feel of the scene. Yes, you will you will be thinking what I'm gonna do next That's that's not uh, it's like preparing if you're going for a war you have to prepare at home You can't be at the ground and now okay. Let's prepare now here That's not a right right way to do it. Yeah, yeah Yeah, you have to get prepared at home You're you're very really natural. It's our favorite types of right. We're just very effortless and natural and I know From a different interview you said looked up to um Irfan and and monat Yes, your other inspirations and what made you want to become an actor See, uh I never wanted to be an actor but till my graduation to be very honest I wanted to be an indian army officer, which is which is which was you know in my my state Which is very new very near to deli. It's hariana There are so many uh senior and batch mates and junior students during during my Graduation that they used to prepare for in an army because that's how the people people go there. There's no background of Actors or cinema actors or professional actors as such so, uh I used to do that But that didn't happen and I started doing theater which went on for three three and a half years and then I joined FTI I think during film is shoot What happened? We have we used to watch world cinema, which is you know Uh, great learning as an as a cinema student just not just an actor But as a as a cinema student it was great watching You know japanese cinema korean cinema western cinema iranian cinema and uh, you know Understanding how they they create stories on screen, which is amazing and beautifully You know it it it gives something in your mind and in your body you you get attached to those characters And I still remember, you know That I think that was the time I I was getting to know this craft as an art form And who are the Who are the craftsmen of this form? You know who are the artists of this this genre? so so Definitely irfan irfan bhai and manoj bhai they were always inspiration for us all I think they were interesting for an entire generation in india And before that they were like, you know nasirikun Shah and ompuri and and and many actors, you know Uh, so uh and at the same time you're looking at the western cinema also like I am I'm a huge fan of alpachino and deniro and daniel and you know The many actors you can see their craft, you know Getting into those On those characters and behaving like them, you know living those characters on screen So I think uh, it depends after sometime it depends on on on the work of every actor There are sometimes very new actors and you see Some amazing, you know portrayal of a character on screen and you get Blown away by that and you're like oh Well, that's that's something new on on screen. Yeah, so that gives you I think now work gives you every Every work gives you every product gives you the high of it the inspiration from it Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, but I love I love irfan and pachino and deniro and like I I was watching Oh Martin Scorsese's film few days back one more another film the Irishman was on Netflix and it came and like Oh much. I think it's one of the finest The portrayal of characters of those actors. They are in a different zone. You can't you can't just do that You need You know, you need some different kind of understanding of those characters. Yeah, you just can't go there and do that Well, yeah, they're like, you know slaves slaves books for us Yeah, yeah, yeah, we we put you for we really do We when we watch you and think of you we put you in the same categories for us as far as Thank you Because you have that you have that aspect of effortlessness where You do what an actor should do is you're never caught acting. You're just Now I love that job ricks I just love that that being in front of camera. I just love that I I I live there, you know The best time I had lived my life is either at home Or in front of camera. Otherwise I have this Well, I was saying you your resume obviously you've been acting for a while now But it seems like things have started to change With pata look have you noticed more attention and more authors and things of that nature with pata look and people recognizing me Yes, yes, definitely. I've been I've been here for almost a decade now. Yeah, almost a decade. That's a long time But thankfully I've been working with with the great directors But but that's that's kind of, you know, uh, you know, your your journey was not so bad Because I always get some work to to you know to do my my thing and you know kind of but the kind of popularity after pata look is is is enormous. It's it's going is something, you know, uh, I The day it got released on 15th of last last month So it was 15th. It was like next three days. I couldn't understand what happened because I I never I never got that kind of attention, you know, of course razi was good hit and you know, everybody was praising and this and that But pata look did something and because It's on oddity platform and I think because of the circumstances also everybody at home Watching it like, you know, they they are there. I think they were just waiting for something You know good on screen, which is it it went Good for us for for pata look people and I used to tell people and friends and family that I don't know. I can't handle it. It's so much now suddenly For a week. I could not understand what happened So I used to be on phone or like videos rocking like this or or maybe interviews telephonic interviews or Insta live or something.

I Did I did almost 170 interviews in one month Yeah That's quite a press junk it So that felt that felt great, of course that's well that felt awesome But it was it was that that's how it it went on on social media and everybody else and Thank you so much for loving this because it was a real real hard work. You know Yeah, we uh, we we've always More crossover from hollywood and indian cinema, uh, would you ever be interested in going and trying stuff in hollywood?

So it's a it's a theatrical thing But I don't know because of this pandemic going on how they want to release it But I personally want to see it on cinema because because that's how it it was made as a typical Indian bollywood cinema, you know, which is everything It's not it's not it's not a story for everyone around the world. It's it's a story for indian You know tribute to those 80s and 90s cinema kind of, you know, the hero villain and hero in situation So that's a very interesting thing.

So I don't know what they call it bajrah in english So there are special wheat and And I I love them from made by is my mom And they because it's still they make it on you know that That fire made by by the coal or something like that so it's it's made by that and and and Homemade stuff because there's no dish You can't you can't go eat that in market because you you don't have that Yeah, yeah, but I love pizza other than that. I love pizza. That's that's my uh, the only junk food I really love Well, thank you so much for talking to us man. We really really appreciate your great fun to talk to you. You're super really talented Uh, and we we can't wait to watch uh more of your stuff when we're very very hopeful for season two Uh Yeah, I really appreciate you very much. I love I love your tattoo up my mind. Oh, yes You have only one Indian yes, just but it's my biggest one Yeah, this this is quite big Yeah, that was uh, that was the first Indian film we saw in movie theaters Golly boy. Yeah, so it was almost a year and a half ago, but Oh, yeah But have you seen gangs of us in book? Yes. Oh, yes. It's one of my favorite films All the time truly one of our favorite films of all I I actually like it better than I like godfather Yeah, it's it's it's because it's just the authenticity of the characters.  It's like the feel of those characters is so vulnerable and so Authentic in the situation that you love them, you know moving those characters on screen. Yeah. Yes But yeah, I want to thank you so much for talking to us man. It was really lovely talking to you Thank you so much. You have a great night. All right. Same as it was great talking talking to you and please take care and We'll be in touch I would love to meet you. Thank you. Thank you for giving Thank you for giving so much love to Pataloog also. Thank you Easy to do stay safe man. Thank you. Thank you. Stay safe


Well thank you very much, thank you for inviting me to this important event and let me say I echo everything that Yvonne has said and I shall be amplifying one or two of the aspects that she's mentioned. So I'm going to mostly be talking about work that we did in Cambridge when I was responsible for all the staff in the university a few years ago. So familiar story in Cambridge around 50% of our postdocs are female we have 4000 postdocs all together, but only 20, a few more, a bit more than 20% of our full professors are female. We have too few women becoming academics and too few being promoted but the pattern is different in the sciences and the arts and humanities and we might talk about that later. So women are generally more reluctant to put themselves forward for new roles promotion pay rises fellowships and grants. And then to add to that problem committees tend to make appointments in their own image as Yvonne said, and this was a particularly acute problem in Cambridge because we have a very low turnover rate once people are appointed to the positions in Cambridge. So we tend not to leave to leave the one is it matter. Well, it was 50% of our talent and as we heard earlier more diverse boards, more diverse workforces are more effective. So there are there are two aspects to the problem and one is around policy and the other is around culture workplace culture. In the last decade policies have made a lot of progress. We have a qualities legislation we have training for awareness. We try to make gender balanced appointments, fair workload models in theory, but often not in practice. And in Britain, 10 years ago, the National Institute of Health Research which funds will have big clinical research projects. And Athena swan silver award for grant renewals. And at the time Cambridge had a 114 million pound grant, which was it was in danger of losing and that did rather concentrate the mind of the vice chancellor. And I was able to extract from him major resources for Athena swan activities which were encouraging a better gender outcomes. So we have a lot of good policies in place but the problem is culture, and how do we turn policy into successful outcomes. And the kind of responses we would get in Cambridge when we started working on this 1015 years ago. Well, well, we're the best already with the best why do we change now. Or, if I start talking about the long work hours culture, then I said well, but it's an international competition you know in America and Japan, they don't have they don't care how long it we work. I had of course men saying well it's a woman's problem not mine. And a few successful women, especially if they become successful by behaving like them have said well, I'm successful nobody helped me why should we change anything. So there are a variety of cultural problems that we need to think about and to tackle. So an early initiative we had in Cambridge was called wissetti women into science engineering technology, and it was initially focused on undergraduates but when I was involved. We, the first thing that we did was to introduce mentoring of CDs for women who were seeking promotion by neutral volunteer academics from elsewhere in the university. So not their head of department or their manager, but we, we help we look to people to see these we help them to improve them. We identified gaps and initially this was just for women, but it was very successful. And now that's available to everybody who wants to apply for promotion, male and female. But the more we realize that actually there's an important principle here. And that is there's a lot of research which shows that women and also be me start black and minority. tend to be more adversely affected than white men are by poor culture, or by poor management and governance. If we accept that that's true. Then it will also be true that women and BMR BME staff will tend to be more favorably affected than white men will by improving the culture the management and the governance. So, the conclusion from that is that in general, initiatives and schemes should be devised that are open to everybody, even if we expect and hope that women will be the main beneficiaries. If you devise schemes that are exclusively for women it does generate resistance in some areas of the male colleagues. Another area where we've worked hard is around the processes and criteria for academic promotions. We increase the weighting the proportion of teaching and administrative contributions to the overall case, so that research becomes less dominant. We reduce the barrier part time applicant I think this is very important that many of our colleagues have not been working full time in the last five years, sometimes for family reasons sometimes for health reasons. And we've now adjusted the criteria so that someone who's been working less than 100% has to present work of the same quality, but the amount of quantity that we expect for them to be promoted is adjusted so if they're only worked half time in the last five years. We expect half as many papers or half as much grant income. Half as much teaching contribution that makes a very big difference. We encourage everyone to declare their caring responsibilities with we've reduced the weighting of things like international travel this course is pre COVID. If you make international travel a criterion for promotion you will inevitably disadvantage women. And that has to be removed. We invited all the eligible staff to workshops to explain what was happening what was changing. And we have made heads of department responsible for interviewing all eligible staff and to encourage the reticent to imply and they often not always but they're often women and discourage the premature applications and usually that's enthusiastic young men who want to get promoted very quickly. And we also make those heads of department explain to any unsuccessful candidates, why they were unsuccessful, we're trying to encourage an honest discussion between the management and those who are applying. And in the last few years, we've now got the same proportion of eligible women applying as men, which did not used to be the case, and with the same success rate or some or in some areas of the university a higher success rate. We created a scheme called the Recurrent and Care scheme, which provides funds to assist staff in catalyzing and building up their research profiles after they've had a period away from work for family responsibilities. We put together a fund of 300,000 pounds a year we make small grants, and these benefited hundreds of families and careers, mostly female but not exclusively, and many of them are postdocs. Now as popular kind of grant is that when someone wants to go to an international conference after they've been away for parental leave, we will pay for a care of their child or children to accompany them to the conference. So they can go to the conference and take a young child or children with them. And they can combine their family and their work life. And the person who goes with to look after the children, maybe their partner, it may be a parent, it may be professional care, we don't care. And that has made a huge difference to people to get them back into visibility back into networking and community. If they don't want to travel will bring collaborators to Cambridge with this variety of scheme. Very, it's very flexible. An interesting benefit of this is of course it's very popular scheme, the head of department's got to write a letter of support and unexpected benefit is the head of department has now got to think much more than he and it's usually he has had to in the past about work and family interactions. And so in retrospect and this was not intentional but it's a benefit. This is this is a policy which supports and validates employees decisions to combine work and family life. And it's also beginning to raise cultural awareness and sensitivity among some managers who've not thought about it as much as they should have done. We've got some other things I mean we have a fixed retirement age here in Cambridge, which is unusual. And what that means is that people like me who are retiring and mostly male. And a fewer, but the new appointees are more likely to be female than those of us who've retired. That's making us a difference, but it's very slow. We've got much stronger instruction and training for appointments committees. We have equal parental rights parental leave rights for women and for men with a very generous financial scheme to make it easy, getting men to take up the leave is still a cultural challenge. We published a book which celebrates different kinds of success of women in Cambridge, and we asked all all women in Cambridge you know who do you admire amongst your peers. We eventually celebrated 26 in this book which you can see on the web it's wonderful book. And it demonstrates it celebrates many different kinds of success administrators secretaries, as well as some famous professors. There's still a lot that we need to do around workplace culture. And sharing meetings this is something that is not thought about sufficiently but the way that a meeting is chaired is really crucial, ensuring that all members have an opportunity to speak, and ensuring that all constructive contributions are properly acknowledged. Training your chairs to make sure that they are that they behave well is really important part time working is really important. We all recognize that all work we all work part time, none of us work 24 seven, and there's an arbitrary definition of what is full time. I think vital to recognize the value to your institution to your families, individuals, and indeed to society, the value of part time work, which enables people to work and to look after their family and to make contributions to society. And your promotions processes your assessment processes to take proper account of that and this is very rare in most universities. And I would say to anyone who has to leave a meeting early to go and collect their children, don't, you know, traditionally men pretend they've got another meeting to go to, rather than saying I've got to go and pick up the children. It's really important to say, I'm going to go and look after my children now. We have in particularly in Cambridge we have a very long hours culture, which is, I'm afraid quite difficult quite toxic, and we still haven't improved enough advice and mentoring this is something that Yvonne mentioned informal what we call old boy mentoring reinforces the tendency for men to network, you know after work and so on. And it reinforces tendency for men to apply for promotion too soon or women tend to apply too late. So we put in place quite a lot of formal mentoring processes. Honest and well informed advice are crucial. I believe it's essential for women to be mentored by women or men by men. I think if you speak to a lot of successful women they'll tell you that support from men was really important. And we need to encourage nominations for prizes and other recognition that's got to be fair and equitable as well. That tends to be done too much by the old boy network. So here are administrative and caring roles, nurturing roles in your departments. Senior leaders tend to turn to women first and ask and women are more likely to say yes than men. So if a head of department asks a young man to do something that's not research is likely to say no and women are more likely to say yes. But leaders heads of department need to be more even handed in their search when they're handing out these roles. And women need to be stronger in saying no I've got to do my research or I've got to do something else. Ask a man. I recognize that's not always easy. So my final slide is I mean changing culture is what we really need to do. And it all actually all begins at home parental leave needs to be shared equally childcare and other the most domestic responsible is need to be shared properly. And universities employers need to recognize and account for that. And so if you change to start to change the culture the next generation will grow up in a different sort of attitude. And so I'm just going to end on a personal note. When our children were small, my wife went back to work she was a lab technician she worked long hours, no flexibility and when she could leave the lab. So I frequently had primary childcare responsibility I did all the course still do all the cooking. I took the children to violin lessons and piano lessons all of those sorts of things. And then after we all had a meal in the evening I went back to the lab to be with my research group and I wrote a textbook. And I did a variety of things and my message, my final message really to people the next generation is, but also to senior leaders is I had a very family oriented lifestyle when I was young. And it did not mean sacrificing my career. And I think it is possible it must be possible for us, at least in a university system where we have lots of advantages of flexibility in the way we work for us to be able to achieve a successful family life and a successful career. I'm going to stop there. Well, thank you very much, Mr Sanders. Many interesting points are coming from Cambridge thank you very much. So, just a question for me regarding the, the research stay abroad because so a year ago I did a podcast with with the five female researchers here for professors one assistant professor and they all mentioned that you know the research stay abroad after the postdoc was an issue to most women because at that point in the 30s, they had very often a partner in the midst of a career as well, and, and maybe kids as well. So, so do you think that we should reconsider whether research they're brought after the postdoc is is crucial for for your promotion should we should we review. You know, the research stay. In my ideal world, we would. I think now what's happening is people are spending longer and longer as students longer and longer as postdocs. So they get their first academic position, probably 10 years older than when I started. I started my academic career independent academic career when I was 24. That's impossible now I think. Finally, I would take a risk on giving more people tenure younger. You know if you give 10 people tenure and only seven of them turn out to be really successful. Then that's a pretty good success rate. However you define success and I'm not going to I'm not going to go down there right now. If people more security, early on in their career, then they will feel more able to have a flourishing family life knowing that they've got some security.  And so you you you speak about part time and parental leave and part time work is not really an option today in in in academia and that is something that sort of is it makes academia very different from from from the rest of the world. And I guess that's a culture difference there and we need a culture change if part time should be an option because very often we have focus on, you know, progression and speed you have to publish all the time in order to get a promoted. In addition, we review these these criteria as well. I, so I come back to my point we all work part time, you know, what's the definition of nobody works 24 seven we all work part time. I think it is possible for people to work, say, 30 hours a week rather than 60 hours a week or 70 hours a week or 80 which is what we often see in Cambridge. It's possible for people to work a smaller number of hours, particularly at crucial points in their in in their family development and for a promotions process to take account of that. If you know that somebody took a year away from for whatever reason, for ever good reason. If you take a year away in the last five then you only expect 80% of their product of the productivity, and you can account for that quantitatively. There are many universities in their promotion say we take account of course and circumstances, but actually there's no evidence that they do.


Hey, everybody, Dr. O here. Let's talk about the four different types of bone cells. So first of all, bone cells only make up about 2% of bone tissue. Most of it's going to be your protein collagen and it's going to be your minerals, especially calcium. But there are four types of bone cells, but I'm going to show you that there's really only two. We'll get there in a second. Let's start with the osteogenic cell. I call this the osteoprogenitor cell.  So a cell that can make new bone, it can make other things too. But osteoprogenitor cells make new bone and here's how they do so. If you need to build bone, let's say you're building bone from an embryonic cartilage skeleton in your mother's womb or you're repairing a fracture or bones are going in some way, these osteogenic stem cells or these osteoprogenitor cells will become osteoblasts. Osteoblasts build bone. They take calcium from the environment and they put it into your bone. So remember that blasts build bone, osteoblasts build bone. So once an osteoblast has basically encased itself in bone by adding all this mineral all around it, an osteoblast then becomes an osteocyte. So an osteocyte, word means bone cell, this is a mature bone cell. It's going to be the cell that maintains the tissue. So notice that an osteoprogenitor cell made an osteoblast that became an osteocyte. That's why I say that even though there's four types of bone cells, these three are really just one continuum. It's really cool. Osteoprocytes maintain bone. That's their primary function, but they can help repair damaged bone. They can actually become, they can revert back to being an osteoblast or even an osteoprogenitor cell. So pretty cool. So osteoprogenitor cells are bone stem cells, osteoblasts build new bony matrix. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintain it. The other type of cell is the osteoclast. So osteoclasts as you can see they look a little different. These are giant cells, multi-nucleate cells and their job is to resorb or break down bone. So you would think, why would ever want that to happen? Well, if we need calcium in our blood, our body has to go and get it from our bones. So osteoclasts will take that bone, the calcium from our bones and put it back into our blood, same with other minerals. But you also want to do this. I imagine like remodeling and maintenance of bone, you have to tear down old bones. You can build better bone. I think of like around here we tear down old bridges and build new ones, right? So osteoclasts are not always bad. Too much osteoclast activity though certainly will weaken your bones. Let me talk about that more in nutrition. So osteoclasts break down bone, osteoblasts build bone, osteoprogenitor cells are your bone stem cells and then osteocytes are the mature bone cells. Those are the four different cells that you have to know to understand bone tissue. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


And we hear the CES unveils. Hi, so who are you? I'm Srinivas Patamata. I'm a VP of Marketing and Business Development from Atmospheric Technologies. We are a Bluetooth chip company that is doing energy harvesting and we achieve two unique things. We can actually extend the battery life so that the battery lasts for 5 to 10 years or in some special cases as you can see here we can run without battery We can do four kinds of harvesting. We can do, if you point to here, we can do RF, light, motion. We can do four kinds of energy harvesting. And by doing that we can eliminate batteries or the replacement of batteries forever. Can I see this one you have there? So which one is this one doing? This is doing RF energy harvesting. So where does it harvest? It's harvesting wireless energy coming out of this 900 megahertz antenna. You can also take 2.4 gigahertz that's in the building and harvest that also. We can harvest all this trashy Wi-Fi. Yes, you can, you can. Really? Is there energy in that? Yes, there is energy in that. As long as it's not too far away. But in here, would there be enough energy? Not necessarily, because it's always transmitting, it's transmitting beacons always. And you can just harvest those beacons. And it depends on what you're trying to do. We are not trying to power a phone.  And more importantly, what the key is not in harvesting. The key is our Bluetooth consumes 5 to 10 times lower energy. The analogy is both of us can run the marathon. I can run the marathon by eating a salad. He has to run the marathon by eating a full meal. Right? So that's the analogy. So we don't require much power. We can take modest amounts of power and then harvest it. And that is the key. So is an arm cord taken M0? The key technology is not in the processor. Yes, we are using arm M0. But the key technology is in the mixed signal solution. And that's where the radio is. And we all came from a big company that has been doing wireless technology for the last 20 years. Mixed signal. Mixed signal RF. So this is a different part of the chip? It's different. The radio technology is what really consumes the power. The what? The radio. The radio inside the chip is what consumes the power. Can you point to it? Where is it? It's inside the chip. It's the same chip that does it. Cortex M0 for N0 class. If you look at it here, this is the Cortex M0. The real trick is, in this part, the Bluetooth RF, ring player, modem, the energy management, the PNU. This is where the real power can solve. So it's not a Nordic semiconductor chip? It is not. We are competing with them. What's the main difference? The two main differences is our power consumption is many times lower than the competitors in the market space. And the second one is, we are the only one in the market that has integrated RF energy receiver inside the single chip SOC. Integrated. We have done two things. We have integrated Bluetooth. We have also integrated the RF energy harvested inside the single chip SOC. These are the two different things compared to competition. Now Bluetooth is five times lower than competition. And there is no one that has RF energy harvested inside the Bluetooth chip. But a Nordic does put the Bluetooth inside their chip, right? But they don't have the harvested one. Yes. And compared to Nordic, we are much, much lower power consumption. That's a big deal if you really are. What? Does that mean you have less efficient Bluetooth signal or something? Nope. Or you do all of it? No. All of it. We have patents. We have less than other companies for the last 20 years. All of our people are from Stanford University. And we have raised CDSA and CDSB total of 50 million dollars. So is this in actual mass production? Yes. We are in mass production today. We are working with beacon providers, asset tracking manufacturers. We are working with remote control solutions. All of these you will see in the market space sometime April through June of 2020. And you have RF on the SoC, but you also have light motion and thermal on the SoC? Yes. The same one. That's the same one? The same one. You don't need to have different screws for each different energy harvesting. What you will need? What you will need is an external, like a solar panel. Obviously I cannot integrate the solar panel inside the chip. Our piezo converter for the switch. There's a piezo converter that you need to put outside. But our PMU is the most efficient PMU in the market space. It's a power management unit. So it's better than what TI is doing? Yes. Yes. Apples to Apple comparison. We are much lower power. Many times lower power compared to all the competitor names that you talked about. Are you like famous? Or is it new? We have announced the product a year ago. And we have about 80 customers that are starting to work with us. And we are trying to fulfill the demand. We will have about 8 to 10 customers launch by Q2 timeframe. And then probably 30 to 40 customers by end of this year. Energy harvesting is going to be huge, right? The way I would explain energy harvesting is, energy harvesting is in stage 1 today. It's got many legs to go for the next 20 years. And we believe it will continue to improve. What we are showcasing is the early stage of energy harvesting. And for energy harvesting to work, the trick is not energy harvesting only. You need to consume very very low power. Only then a modest amount of energy will be sufficient for you. That is the key. So how do you get 5 to 10 years of battery? Is it a big battery? Yeah, it's not a big battery. You get by doing two things. One is you reduce the Bluetooth power consumption. So you consume very low power. And then you harvest enough energy. One of the four kinds that I showed you previously. And then use that to kind of either supplement the battery or kind of recharge the battery. So one of the reasons that energy harvesting hasn't really been huge that far except for solar. It hasn't been huge success for two reasons. I keep going back to the same theme. One is because you consume so much energy that you will have to harvest a lot of energy. Since we are not consuming only five times lower than anyone in the market, we don't require a lot of energy. And then the second thing is you need to have good energy harvesting techniques. Our art of energy harvesting is higher efficiency than others in the market space. You need to have the energy harvesting on the SOC. Yes. That's one of the missing ingredients. That is missing ingredient because if it's outside, you lose some of the energy that's when you harvest and you have to supply to the Bluetooth chip. So how can you have these four different energy harvesting techniques on the same SOC? What is the functionality? How does it work? That's a very good question. What we have done is we have integrated a special power management unit. What it can do is two things. It can take a very small voltage coming out of any of these energy harvesting solutions and then kind of modulate it so that it can boost it up to 1.2 volts. And the second thing is it can manage multiple energy harvesting solutions. You can hook up a photo and you can also hook up an hour of energy and then you can modulate between the two. Isn't it more efficient if you design energy harvesters specifically for each different type? Or you can do one that does all four equally good? Not necessarily because in the end the chip all requires voltage. What it is trying to look for is a voltage. If you are able to kind of come up with a power management unit that can convert voltage no matter where it is coming from, then you are okay. So if this is real, this is pretty big. This is revolutionary. Well, we are hoping that over time that our products will be in the market in the next two years or so that we will be shipping in a quite high volume. So that's why we are working not just one kind of customer. We are working with keyboard, remote control, wearable customers. On the industrial side we are working with IoT. We are working with beacons. We are working with asset tracking solutions. Sensors. Sensors as well. Gas sensor. Well, those are all IoT solutions for us, right? We don't make the sensors, but sensors will hook up to our Bluetooth solution and then kind of transmit whatever sensing it is. Whether it's thermal sensing, whether it's gas sensing or temperature or heat sensing or motion sensing or any kind of sensing. But your solution is useful not only for the energy harvesting people because you say five times less than any competitor. That's correct. That's why it can go in any Bluetooth device. You are very perceptive. That's why we have two kinds of solutions. We have the basic, excuse me, we have the ATM2 series solution that is very extreme low-powered Bluetooth because it's five times lower. If you are able to replace some of the competing solutions that you talked about, you will immediately get three times the benefit of battery life. And then if you are able to do ATM3 solution, it's got the additional energy management technique. Now you can actually extend the battery life more than three times. You can do maybe five times or ten times or even no battery at all. So you are absolutely right. We have a two-step solution or two kinds of solutions we can use. How are you going to price it? Is it going to be a very attractive pricing? So ATM2 is going to be more expensive than everything else. Very good question. ATM2, which is competing with Nordic and TI and others, which will give you immediate 3X benefit, will be comparable with them. The ATM3 is going to add energy harvesting value add. It will be priced at a slightly higher price point. Because the value is not about the battery cost. The value is about paying someone $50 to go replace the battery, the sensor battery that you just talked about every six months. And so it will be priced at a slightly higher pricing point than the standard Bluetooth. And we already have a lot of interest in both solutions. Isn't one way to save a lot of power is just the algorithm, like how many times it pings and stuff. Is that basically what you do is much more than that. We do two things. One is we design a special radio that it does multiple techniques depending on whether it's transmitting or receiving or standby mode. It conserves the power or consumes very less power. And then the techniques of energy harvesting, we actually try to do such that you can harvest at a very high efficiency. Mind you, energy harvesting is still not at its peak today in the market space. We expect our energy harvesting solution to improve over time. And then you can do even better things, even further energy harvesting. You can be like 50 feet away, maybe not just 10 feet. And then even harvest more. Let me give you one analogy and it will be obvious to you. 20 years ago, we were doing Wi-Fi and to do this distance, you were doing only 54 megabits per second. Today, you can do Wi-Fi which is 50 feet away and then do gigabits per second. Energy harvesting is at this stage today. We were at a company called Atheros that went public and then we were bought by Qualcomm for $3.6 billion. We all worked there for 15 years. And for us, energy harvesting is the same thing. Step one today, there will be many more steps in the future. Atheros, isn't it at the modem? No, Atheros used to be the Wi-Fi chip company. The Wi-Fi chip, yes. Many years ago that got bought by Qualcomm. All right. So if the receiver and the sender is using your chip, does that increase the battery life of the whole system? Yes. It's compatible with anything else and it will be low power no matter what. Because you need to sync the algorithm between the sender and the receiver. Well, we have Bluetooth compatible. We have Bluetooth standards compliant. We support the full Bluetooth 5.0 LE. So we can talk to any Bluetooth on the other side. We don't need our Bluetooth on the phone. We don't need our Bluetooth on a laptop or an access point. We can talk to any Bluetooth in the market space. Do you think this energy harvesting is going to be in every high-end Nike shoes? Is it going to be in phones in the future? Because the phone is moving all the time. Yes, but... Can you harvest this or is there no point? It will start with very battery, triple-A, double-A, coin cell battery kind of devices so that it can help those devices and eventually it will grow. I mean, phones I think is in the early stage. Energy harvesting for phones is very, very early stage. What we are targeting is anything that is running on double-A, triple-A or coin cell batteries today. Smartwatch. Smartwatch. With a nice reflective display, like E8 or something. Basic display, like a wearable, right? Nike shoes for sure, or any shoes. Wearables, consumer devices like remote controls. Smart glass. Head sets, all those, right? Remember, the key is not just replacing battery. If I were to just compensate for the standby current of the battery and extend the standby from one day or five days to 20 days or two months or even six months, that itself is a big achievement. Sometimes people promote that they have a Qualcomm chip in there that does better signal for these headphones and stuff. It's important to have a stable signal. In a way, there's many different flavors of Bluetooth information. Of course. Of course. Today we are not supporting headsets, but in the future we will be. But of course the quality of the Bluetooth link is important, but what we are promoting is both quality of Bluetooth link and also very, very low power and harvesting together.


And this is such a random way to start a vlog, but hi What do you guys think of this dress? I know it's big for me. So we have to imagine it like cinched in a bit like this and Meat and heels. It's from a brand called Marquesa Notte. I don't know if I'm butchering that name But I think it's so beautiful I bought it for the ball that I went to last week that you saw in last week's vlog at Annabelle's But it didn't arrive on time and I have one of my really dear friends wedding next year in Rome in June And I was thinking if I repurchase this dress in a one-size-smaller What do you guys think but also do I look a bit too? Florally It is super long. I'd need to get it altered even when I get one size smaller But let me know your thoughts. I am glad I didn't end up wearing it to what it didn't arrive on time But I would probably wouldn't have won it a because it's so big But be also like it's too long and see I Don't know. I just feel like this looks more wedding guest than it does Charity gala ball. So yeah, let me know what you think and welcome back to another vlog with me, Sephi So it is 1 30 in the afternoon I'm stuck at home because I'm waiting for a UPS Delivery actually opposite. I'm waiting for a UPS collection to come. Otherwise, they really want to go to a museum Or do something nice for those of you wondering why I'm not at work I start my training program on the 4th of October Which I'm really really excited about so I decided to give myself some weeks off in September where I'm just catching up on admin work, but I need to do relaxing and Just taking a breather before I start a seven-year training program, which I think is well deserved so yeah, I've just been doing so much admin work this morning and Organizing my closet getting rid of things. I don't want any more Getting putting away my summer clothes and getting out my autumn winter stuff again and putting that all in my wardrobe, too So that's also been good. I'm so hungry now So I'm gonna make myself some lunch. I think I'm gonna make a Greek salad If I could tell you I don't think you'd believe How long I've felt this way I'm begging you to stay If I could show you I'd hope that you could see all the possibilities I'm just walking Banksy this morning and The weather is so perfect and we're having a lovely walk We went up to the high street because I wanted to get some storage containers For some things that I have in my bedroom that I just feel like I could put away more neatly So I went to Tiger, but they didn't have anything which is sad So I'm gonna look online maybe on Amazon if you guys know anywhere else. Let me know tell me some recommendations They could tell you I don't think you believe I Had an audio stream going out of the day, so I hope you appreciated that but survive top of Zara The trousers or jeans are frame and my shoes are Laura Piana. I mean necklace is male But I didn't realize that the food court area is shut until the beginning of October Which is annoying because they're refurbishing. Yeah, so I went to the food hall and I got this like roll Sat thing one of them is lobster roll the other ones egg and truffle and the other one is prawn mayo I'm so hungry. It's like four o'clock now so You can still talk this is so lovely. Thank you, sir. I love it. Elliot Do you want to put your hand in so that I also get some Morning I have woken up about 45 minutes ago. It's 10 25 so maybe I woke up at 9 30 so almost an hour ago And I've just washed my face brush my hair brush my teeth and put on some joggers and Very full vibes by the way. This is essentials.  So I was like, why not? I had these burgers in the fridge. So Just trying it up. I didn't have any balsamic vinegar shockingly. I can't find it I know we have balsamic because I wanted to make caramelized onions But yeah, so I've just fried the mushrooms and the onions and then Got all my like naked ingredients Yeah And I'll show you the end result because I feel like it's gonna taste amazing So now I just need to add my sauces. I've got the sauce shop honey chipotle barbecue I've got some loaf at Mayo and I've got some cholula hot sauce Yes, he's so holy I'm staying at the fancy. I'm taking myself for a drive I'm any plenty solid to defeat my soul I feel whole Back like you never let me to show the vlog my gifts that you got me You're the best Thank you Just so cute Oh This is all I've been craving you guys I So Saina got back from Beverly Hills with my mom yesterday and She managed to score me something from Emma's that I've been wanting All summer and I get that summer's over. So when you guys see this you might be like seppy summer is over But fear not I will be going on a lot of trips This coming here because it's me you guys know me I use my annual leave to travel so fingers crossed I will make very good use out of this and I'm just so excited I can't wait to share with you guys if you follow me on Instagram. You would have already seen what is in this but Can't believe it so she got really lucky to find these and they had it in her size and my size And they had it in white as well in my size But given that I already have the Kelly sandals in white I thought I don't need to also get the sheep hers in white at this moment in time. So Here they are. I got the black sheep hers from Saina. I can't believe it She is the best sister in the world I don't think anyone's ever brought me such nice gifts back from holiday ever. So I'm really really happy They are beautiful. So these Here we go The black leather sheep her sandals. They're really hard to get I would say probably try and get anything that's summery now because you'll have better luck with it She got these from California. So that's maybe why she had a bit more luck. I don't know But I'm really happy with them. They're a size of four and a half UK Which is half a size bigger than I bought my Kelly sandals in because everyone told me you're including the sales associate I should go up half a size and I'm really glad I did because they fit perfectly as half a size bigger So I absolutely love them today is the day before I have my induction for my new job My new job officially officially starts next week but I've got my trust induction tomorrow with the hospital and then I've got my Like departmental induction on Thursday and Friday where they show me how everything runs and where everything is and I am really a bit. I'm gonna be on some really nervous now that it's actually here I am definitely suffering from imposter syndrome And I've done the utmost in my career to be where I am and to be able to get a London training post is Like my absolute dream come true and I'm just so blessed and grateful I need to keep reminding myself that you know, you did make it and you are worthy of being here But I think it's just because I I'm a bit like I don't know what's coming next. That's making me a bit more nervous But also really really excited like this is the start of a seven-year chapter for me So for those of you guys who aren't familiar with how medicine works in the UK in terms of specialty I'll give you guys a really quick run through Just so that you can understand. So in England medical school is five years like that's the minimum amount that you must do and the end of that you come out with usually an MBBS, which is a Medicine bachelor and bachelor of surgery. There are other like letters for it. So you couldn't get like different I can't remember what other you need to do But there are some other units that give you like a different lettering But essentially will come out as a doctor and then you have to complete two years of foundation training Which you apply for so you apply for all the different hospitals The most competitive ones are London because obviously it's a capital city and there's not as many Job roles as there are people who live here or want to live here so then you do that for two years and In your second year, you're free to apply for a specialty So the shortest specialty is GP which starts with general practice and abroad in different countries I'm I think you guys call it family doctor or family medicine. There's three years as a specialty and The other specialties tend to be around seven to eight years. There's different routes There's medicine and there's surgery So what that basically means is medicine is anything that any interventions that you can do without like doing a major operation on people and Surgery are all the specialties that you do where you you operate on people like there's some aspect of Operations, etc in those specialties. So medicine will include stuff like cardiology a heart doctor Dermatology a skin doctor respiratory medicine a lung doctor That doesn't mean they don't do like procedures that are intervention also like a cardiologist will Need to like insert a pacemaker or a respiratory physician general medicine physician might need to insert a chest strain or a gastroenterologist Will need to do endoscopies and colonoscopies. So there are procedures, but for surgical procedures You fall under the surgical domain. So that's obstetrics and gynecology, which is what I'm doing There is trauma and orthopedics and then there's general surgery. There's ophthalmology there's there's loads of specialties on either side medicine or surgery and There's two ways to get into these specialties Some programs a lot of programs nowadays are introducing something called a run-through training I apply right after f1 and f2 and I go straight into a run-through training program where for the whole seven years I'm just doing obstetrics and gynecology whereas for a lot of medical specialties. You have to do something called IMT And that means that you need to spend three years doing general medicines that you're very well familiarized with All aspects of medicine and their domains and then you go into a specialty for another four years I have the equivalent of that for surgery Where you do almost like a general training rotor in the different surgical domains and then From st3 onwards you can apply to a surgical specialty and you do that for the remaining four or five years So it's really exciting. It is really really competitive and so Sometimes when you get in like you get your foot through the door and you get your dream post and you get it in your dream Location wherever that may be in the UK It can feel really surreal because you've you've jumped through every hoop and Essentially, I know you might think like oh you made it when you got into medical school and you passed and you became doctor But I think essentially it's this bit where you start to feel like you've made it or you know You're on the path to reaching your goal is when you've got into the specialty that you want to do for the rest of your life I know in different countries is different So some countries you don't really do anything like F1 F2 and you just go straight into your specialty training But I feel like it's given me such a good foundation and knowledge and some of the jobs that I've done Have really built me to be the strong doctor that I know I can be and broaden my knowledge For example in A&E I got so much exposure to so many different Specialties and the same with my cute medicine job Every single job that I did like I learned so so much I'm so grateful in the UK that we have foundation training F1 F2 because I do feel like it gives you so much confidence I know that you guys ask me so much about medicine and a lot of you guys follow me for the medicine content So if you want to see more I'm thinking of documenting my journey into Fully becoming a surgeon and I hope that you guys will enjoy following me along if you want to see more of that content Let me know in the comments if you want me to discuss something specific or show you something specific And I can do that let me know in the comments I'll try my absolute best in the meantime I'm gonna go cut my nails short get rid of my nail polish and Get ready for the rest of my life I know I'm being dramatic, but it just does feel like that wish me luck And I hope that you guys enjoyed this vlog if you did don't forget to give me a thumbs up Subscribe down below It really means so much to me if you guys do that because it shows that you are interested in what I'm posting and I will see you in my next video Bye


Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com. Yep, we got it, 2023 Tops Definitive Baseball. One box, pick your team, number one. There were some delays here, I appreciate everybody's patience, but we got it here and we're going to bust this stuff open. There it is, fresh case, one box out of there, big thanks to this group. Most of the break filled up straight up, which I appreciate.  We only had to pull four teams for a random number block, which is awesome, thank you. Here are the results of that four team random number block, we uploaded that in a different video, Diamondbacks in the mix, member zero gets any and all redemptions, including one of one redemptions, a rare occurrence, but part of the rules. All right, now let's pop this case open. All right, so if you mark these boxes A, B, C, so you know they're all from the same case. We're going to roll the die, we'll go one, two, three, four, five, six on the dice roll. Let's pull the camera back right there, there it is, five, one, two, three, four, five, six on the dice roll, so we're going to go with box C. And these other two we'll save for next time. So I'm just going to go back over here. Now let's pop this open. And good luck everybody, real big monster potential here. All right, see it Jeff? Let's do that, flip that around. You can see all the cards there and on the top camera above my head. All right, first one right off the top, one, solo, two out of ten. A bit of the Padre pinstripe there is excellent autograph, real nice stuff. And that's going to go to Steve Lott. Nice one Steve, San Diego Padres. And they're thinking about, there's been some rumblings about a trade possibly. These top loaders. Next is Gabriel Moreno, rookie autograph, six out of fifty. That's going to go to Toronto Tristan with the Blue Jays. I like that, I'm assuming that's an RC in the back right, I kind of like that. It's very definitive, that's RC, makes sense. And we've got nice Ryan Howard, five out of forty. Got the Phillies pinstripe in here, on-card autograph. Rob with the Fightin' Fills.

Hi and welcome to the session. My name is Shashi and I am going to help you with the following question. Question is form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by substitution method. Fifth part is a fraction becomes 9 upon 11 if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. If 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator it becomes 5 upon 6. Find the fraction. Let us start with the solution now. In the question the numerator and the denominator both are unknown. So let us assume the numerator equal to x and the denominator is equal to what? First condition in the question is the fraction becomes 9 upon 11 if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. y plus 2 must be equal to 9 upon 11. This implies y, y plus 2. We get this equation which further implies 22 is equal to 9 where the condition given in the question is that if 3 both the numerator and the denominator it becomes 5 upon 6 multiplied by. Let us name this equation as equations are 11x minus 9y plus 4 is equal to 0 minus 5y plus 3 is equal to 0. From equation 1 we get upon 11. Let us name this equation as we will substitute the value of n equation. Now substituting the value of x in equation 2 we get 6 multiplied by 9y minus 4 upon 11 minus 5y plus 3 is equal to 0. Multiplying the equation by 11 on both sides we get 54y minus 24 minus 55y is equal to 0. 33 plus 24 is equal to minus 9. We can say y is equal to now we will substitute this value of y in the equation 3 to get the value of x. Now substituting the value of y in equation 3 we get x is equal to multiplied by 9 minus 4 upon 11. This implies 81 minus 4 upon 11, 77 upon 11 or we can say x is equal to y is equal to 9. So our required fraction is 7 upon 9. Our required equations are 11x minus 9y plus 4 is equal to 0, y plus 3 is equal to 0, 7 and y is equal to 9 is the solution of the given equations where x is the numerator and y is the denominator and the required fraction is equal to 7 upon 9. This is our final answer. This completes the session. Hope you understood the session.
