guys welcome back this is Kelly from House of Virgo if you're new please smash that like button so we're gonna take a look at the week ahead for you guys thank you all for your patience I was able to pop back in today yeah so let's take a look at the week ahead we're looking at the 14th through the 20th of November see what the messages are showing up here for you going forward you have girl with a snake you have Cupid's arrow and oh you've got the runner okay let's see what's up here okay girl with a snake empath and narcissist paradigm being charmed enabling boundaries Cupid's arrows having faith love is coming surprise invitation or meeting and a little bit of hesitation and you've also got the runner runner in a code dependent relationship fear of intimacy listening to ego alright let's take a look here see what the messages are girl with a snake okay empath and a narcissist paradigm okay a little bit of a dance here between two people let's see okay so there was definitely a blocking looks like you have or you may have or you will be there's someone blocked or someone that another person is not speaking with this week waiting it could be a Pisces for some of you but there's a decision someone wanting to make some kind of a compromise okay seeing things from a different point of view alright a lot of anxiety being caused so I feel like going forward this week there is this situation playing out here where it looks like boundaries are being put up because there may be someone in your life Virgo whom causes a lot of stress and anxiety okay you may be putting them up this week these boundaries or you may be continuously like following through with this for maybe you've already done it you're gonna keep doing it this week yeah I feel like it looks like you're trying to understand some kind of relationship like either you know what is this all about okay that's what I feel like mostly and why is this causing so much anxiety and stress in some kind of relationship that you have with someone okay on why should I but should I not block them should I block them why there's this question it doesn't have to be you it could be another person too it's like why are we drawn to each other why do we keep going back and forth with each other why do you know how can I block them I feel stressed if I do this maybe I don't want to do this maybe it's all me trying to hear that inner voice that message in in your head that's trying that like it's very silent you know trying to block out everything else and try to be a piece try to understand what's causing the stress and anxiety and some type of relationship that you have with someone and it's like having a hard time making heads or tails of some type of relationship that you have been in or that you are in and it feels mostly like this week making a decision whether you should keep blocking this person or whether you should not or you should open the door but I see all this anxiety attached to that there's all this stress so it's like you're damned if you do and you do damned if you don't like it feel like you're going to be stressed in about this situation no matter what wow that's pretty heavy duty energy right there in this situation here okay somebody might be very passive the person that you're dealing with are waiting for you to reach out waiting till you come to the end of the struggle or when you're done thinking about the whole thing this person thinks that you might reach out to you or that you might reach out to them they could be another Virgo it could be a Virgo Pisces type of relationship as well or there's a decision it may not have something to do with blocking it could just be like a decision waiting for the right answer and not being sure what to do because I feel like grow the snake kind of energy is like this person that you connect with seems to be a bit of a charmer so I don't know if there's like a little bit of resistance it's kind of an uphill battle this week kind of feels to me like you are trying to decide what you should do or what you need to do because there is a little bit of like this maybe some smitteness that you both have with each other there's some crush stuff going on there's also yeah the energy is pretty chaotic because there's a lot of stress and anxiety too and then there's peace and then there's isolation and then there's blocking and then there's communication it's very it's very borderline and I kind of feel like that's what this relationship is it's like a very borderline relationship with the girl will grow with the snake this this dance this empath narcissist paradigm where it's back and forth energy between enabling and boundaries yeah it can be very borderline it's like one minute the enabling is happening and then the next minute putting up sharp boundaries yeah I feel like this week for you with this situation is all about you getting your your sea legs so to speak and picking a lane like you got to choose a lane like you you're either gonna be in or you're out but once you make the decision you got to stick in the lane that you choose stick to your guns whatever you choose don't be one way and then don't be wishy washy because this relate relationship Mike it's very borderline I'm trying to say it's very borderline okay you also have cupid's arrows so there is a love there is like love is coming definitely so let's take a look at that and see what's going on here love is coming cupid's arrows this could just be a thing about letting go to you might be kind of like one foot in one foot out energetically let's see what this cupid's arrows is coming in this week new love meeting someone surprise invitation or meeting up with someone being a little bit hesitant about this maybe because of that other energy that's going on okay wow yeah it's definitely coming in full force here with the knight of swords oh it's it's on it's on okay okay okay okay got the Empress and the four of cups okay well somebody is viewing you with that Empress energy they think that you're not really interested or they're not sure they're gonna definitely try they're gonna offer their cup of love their emotions or make some kind of offer to you quite a few times they make this this is a situation where you might know who they are they might have done this before you might not know who they are it could be connected to a mother figure or they could be a mother themselves could be a Libra but I definitely feel like you're gonna get a surprise invitation or a stout so it's gonna be a little little surprising not shocking not shocking surprising okay it's gonna be kind of out of the blue but I kind of feel like I don't know I see you look at the guy there with the arms crossed this is either like hesitation not sure what to do not to have to make up your mind having options or thinking about it a little bit whether to accept it yeah let's see what else is going on here all right you've got the page of pentacles one more okay wow the Sun and the moon wow I just heard this person will give you the Sun and the moon and the stars yes that's their intention they have good fantastical ideas I mean it's definitely a breath of fresh air I can tell you that it's it's it's even like they're even saying like listen do you want to them telling you their ideas asking you out or asking if you want to go somewhere we can go out at night we can go out we have a night date an evening date or a daytime date a lunch date a day date kind of thing I mean I think this person is very serious they're coming in pretty quick definitely they view you with that Empress energy is someone who's just very attractive masculine or feminine very attractive like the Queen of Queens above all the rest their view of you could be him again another Pisces it could be a cancer or Leo yeah this person there's gonna be a lot of communication and this person's cupid's arrow so this feels mostly like a new love start this week so I don't know check your DMs check your text messages if you meet somebody or they could be reaching out to you sometime this week if they haven't already asking you out it's refreshing and if anything it's a beautiful distraction from all this it looks like so that's a very positive thing you also have the runner runner and a codependent relationship oh look at that you cups oh tennis swords in the east of wands so looks like you're gonna be running as fast as you can away from this energy and this week see when I said like whatever kind of relationship this was over here whatever you're getting out of some kind of codependent borderline shoes that's what I feel like it is that's what I feel like it's going on and getting into like you're done you're done I somewhere along this week I don't know if it's because of someone new coming in here that kind of like light your fire or there's someone who I don't know it's not I don't know I just kind of feel like it's a it's a it's a it's a reprieve of some sort and I just feel like somebody coming in it almost feels like someone's coming in take your mind off whenever this issue or this borderline codependency thing is like you're running away like you're you know what I mean but you're it's a little bit of your ego it's like yes just give me the hell out of here at this you know you're running like like you need some good loving you need your ego you need that someone to be loving up on you you want someone to tell you how wonderful you are how awesome you are how amazing you are and not have to wonder you know I feel like somebody whoever this person is coming in it's putting you like you know on like a little bit of they just came me that Madonna song like a lucky star like they see you it's like you must be my lucky star yes and look that person whoever they are okay so of course you know you got the 901 so you do have your boundaries up of course and you're keeping your secrets to yourself you're not you're not doing the kiss and tell you're not I don't see you like running to someone else and using them as like a therapist and talking about other people I feel like you're really interested in some type of working committed kind of relationship you know and it looks like you've got like a brand-new like a seed being planted there's an opportunity for growth and it looks like you're gonna pursue that whatever this person is offering here looks like you're gonna pursue that because it's better than this chaotic energy over here so this week you know as you're trying to it looks like try to figure out this what the struggle and the stress you get 10 of wands and the 10 of swords that's anxiety mental exhaustion physical exhaustion trying to sort all that out with that paradigm dance borderline thing that you're dealing with in your life so many new comes in here and it's just like here I am to save the day see the little mighty mouse action I don't even know where that came from but there you go let me see if you can figure out the person who's coming in what their Chinese sign is okay starting with the year of the tiger okay year of the ox year of the snake year of the dog year of the pig year of the rat year of the rabbit and year of the monkey okay so that could be the new person it could also be you just take it as it resonates alright let me see I want to see what this oh this new person they just said I want to kiss you every time I see you so that's definitely gonna be their energy towards you I'm gonna take it slow and savor every inch of you I feel like there's a huge attraction this person's going to have to you oh you make them feel shy or you will yeah because you're standing with that Empress card there so your scent turns me on I think this person will be like just if not if they all it's like if you already know who they are they're already enamored with you if you haven't met them yet and you connect with them you're just it you're just like the King of Kings you're the Queen of Queens to this person even if you don't feel that way about yourself that's okay because we are never the way we feel about ourselves is rarely ever what other people see in us you know so believe it when I tell you when someone else just there's a there's a there's a seat forever for every ass so don't get yourself down if it's hard to believe because it's not hard to believe okay let me see what other messages are there here for you and I will do my best you guys to path pop back in and

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. My name is Sonali. Today I'm going to be teaching you guys how to get this hair look And I'm really excited because I have some new products and a new curling wand to share with you guys So let's get started. So we are dealing with third day hair right here We're gonna have to brush it before we get started But honestly dirty hair is the best for this type of look or honestly just curling your hair in general I know it kind of doesn't feel the best, but it helps to hold the curls really well This is my hair all brushed out. So the first thing we're gonna do is take some heat protectant spray I'm gonna be honest.  It does kind of look like an ashy gray brownish look But it's better than white. So I'm just gonna lift the front part up Spray it in there Over here and in the back too and you want to make sure to do it under layers Just in case you have too heavy of a hand, you don't want to spray too much and have that like residue look So then just rub it in as much as you can So I know some of you wanted to see my big curl look, but today we're gonna do more of like a beachy wave This is kind of just like a beach wave and I'm so excited because I just bought this Drybar Mai Tai spritzer. I've been eyeing this for so so long I was in Ulta one day and I had a gift card So I was like, you know what today is the day that I buy it. So I squished so since I have a lot of hair I'm just gonna clip the top because it just like feels really overwhelming So I want the bottom pieces to be the curliest So I am going to set these in place with little clips, but for the top we're not gonna be doing that So we're gonna be taking a section about this big since my hair is pretty thick It's harder to get big sections and actually curl them So we're gonna be sticking to just like a small section and we're always gonna be curling away from the face So stick the curler like this and then curl away from the face So it's different about this technique rather than my big curls technique is that I do leave a one inch to two inches out of The curl this just gives like a really beachy look to it By the way today, I am using my newest curling wand and I'm so excited. This is the Bombay hair five and one I did have a new me, but it broke.  So I'm just gonna finish the bottom layer and get back to you guys Okay, so now that all of the bottom hair is done. I'm just gonna unleash The mane and start on the top So now we are just gonna start from the back like we did on the bottom And I actually really like when the curls are super close to my root because they're gonna fall anyways Remember to get that one to two inch section out. I'm not gonna set it with a clip So what I'm just gonna do is hold it in my hand kind of Let it cool in my hand a little bit and then drop it and then pull it So it kind of gives that wave When you pull it And I'd say I hold it for like 10 seconds to 12 seconds When you get to the front of your hair, I have layers So I take my bangs out I kind of like see where my bangs are and then I can do those separately You don't want to fully curl it. So what we're gonna do is just bend it just a teeny bit especially cuz mine are pretty short so I'm just gonna take it and Kind of put a bend in the hair and definitely make sure the bend is away from your face as well as all the other curls So as you can see the bend kind of will just fall into the curls So I finished my top hair and now what I'm gonna do is take out the clips on the bottom Because they're definitely done setting so after I just kind of Play with my hair not really brush it out But just kind of twirl the curls together, I guess kind of just lightly go through with my fingers So this is the finished product if you want to stop here But if you want you can add another step by adding some beach spray So like I said, I'm gonna be using my dry bar my tie spritzer. This is just a sea salt spray and I'm just gonna spray it Everywhere, then I'm just gonna comb through with my fingers again I'm gonna be honest it kind of feels a little sticky and gross right after you spray it But just wait a few minutes and it'll be fine So this is the final product. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and learned some cool hair techniques And I will see you guys in my next video. Bye guys


Today we're gonna talk about something you rarely hear about in the health food industry And that is the negatives that come with organic living Hey there njroute22.com here with another kind of vlog about I'm not sure what day this is publishing, but I think it's a low it falls into the low-carb keto carnivore, but This is a subject that is rarely spoken about in the whole health food industry the same way you'll never hear anybody Talk negative about a charity. It's this organic Industry which is which appears to be kind of like semi bulletproof from criticism. They're saying well anything other than organic is Bad for you And we're here today to talk about that is not the case This is called organic paranoia and I've witnessed this first hand first hand How over the years, you know organic was good. Oh organic organic organic There's it's printed on the box organic this organic that sustainable free range all these buzzwords And I've talked about buzzwords in the past but these buzzwords aren't your passport to like Eternal life or perfect health with no disease or sickness It's just a bizarre thing that we we witness and And I've seen first hand how some people actually really now all of a sudden Believe that if it's not organic It will literally kill you on the spot and give you like cancer and and all sorts of debilitating diseases and pain and suffering I I really don't understand how this happened and you know on as a counterpoint I do Think that you know companies and large conglomerates have pushed their luck In terms of what they can what and bad things they can squeeze into the foods But I don't think like things like fruits and vegetables I Don't think all these pesticides and all these things they put on on the on the vegetables are really Hurting anybody you wash your vegetables and you cook your meat and everything should be fine But it's this mindset that that more and more people are getting they're like they become Not obsessed but the unable to eat Anything other than these healthy buzzwords like it's like some sort of insurance policy. Oh, this is organic meat I'm it surely won't be bad, but then again you look at the look at that guy I forget where he was from but he would for ten years He was selling things meat to whatever producers or the government. I don't know what it was That he claimed was organic, but he was fraudulently Tricking the system and it was in fact Worse than the regular meat. He was figuring out a way to make more money because you know greed greed is the Ultimate evil, but and he ended up getting convicted getting a ten-year jail sentence and he killed himself I guess all that cheating and Tricking people and the guy like now that means that all these organic meats that people have been eating for the last ten Years depending on where you bought it and weather was the same from this guy, and I'm sure it happens everywhere else It's probably not organic. So I mean shoot.  No, did it? I see this this really bugs me and then there's things such as The statistical odds of sickness death injury Accidents and so on and most people don't really think about this. Oh my god. It's a non-organic blueberry I cannot have it.  They'll the next minute They'll hop in the car and drive on the highway where if you look at the you know annualized statistics It's the risk you take by driving or even just walking out of your own house is Worse than eating a non-organic food product. So that this is really I don't understand how People get like this to the point where they don't see you know the apples and oranges like oh I can't eat this bad thing.  They bring down everybody in their house. They Create trouble and yet without thinking they're gonna put themselves in a hundred times more statistically likely danger By driving or walking or going to the city or just going out in the sun So I think something's happened. I don't it's peculiar to me that people can't look at the hypocrisy in how they live life and and they'll just take some things for granted and then cherry pick some things to get Really upset about and obsessed. So I really think I mean we're we like organic sometimes But and sometimes it tastes better. Sometimes it doesn't I buy my meat and I only eat really meat I I'm good with almost any meat. It never makes me sick. I never feel bad I mean, there's some flavors. I like better, which is such as Pat la Frida Ground beef and that's not organic and it's fine for me. I get these organic Ground beef packs and then they're they're no different. No better I I really don't know what's going on unless I was there watching them raise the cows Feed the cows where they get their produce from you can never really believe these words these how many letters is organic Seven letters seven letters on a package and you're gonna believe it, you know full tilt I I just I think your mouth and body can can tell you a lot more than some words on a box or a package So that's it. Enjoy the rest of your day


Guys, what's up? Welcome to a brand new movie review today. We're talking Blumhouse's new film upgrade And of course you can see I have a special guest Cody why don't you introduce yourself? They for some reason never seen you on my channel. Hey, what's going on everybody first of all? I gotta thank Zach here for allowing me to be in this review with him If you guys don't know who I am my name is Cody Curtis. I'm on YouTube. I'm a movie reviewer like Zach I do movie reviews movie analysis and of course you guys know that we do the sweet film podcast Yeah, aren't already listening to it. Yeah, so go check it out and he's also done one review on sandwich on films Just like I have which was for nostalgia. Yes. Yes. Yes So if you guys might have seen him on that review as well if you guys watch these videos on the website or even on the sandwich John's YouTube channel, but of course we're talking upgrade today This film is a brand new Blumhouse film Blumhouse tilt though a little bit different kind of their indian stuff And I will say the blast the blast to watch Yeah, like when now does direct it and he is one of the guys who has developed insidious He's developed saw he's made some good horror franchises with Blumhouse before and other studios So, you know, he has a wonderful mind a very grotesque mind Yeah, and I would love to see the guy do a Mortal Kombat film, which we'll talk about Yeah, absolutely. And it also starts Logan Marshall green. Yeah, his name the other Tom Hardy You guys might know him from Prometheus is our spider-man homecoming. He wasn't there for a bit as shocker now Initial thoughts Cody just couple seconds. What are your thoughts about this film thoughts about the film? It's a fun film It's a very very flawed film But it is a blast to watch and if you guys are gonna go watch this which I think Zach and I both recommend that you do Yeah, I recommend it go see it with an audience because this movie is an audience experience kind of movie It is really like our audience was fantastic. Yeah, it was that they were saying out like I'm during one of the action sequences Which will go into again. Um, they are very grotesque. They are Mortal Kombat ask I'll even go into and they are brutal. They are filmed fantastically like Amazingly and this is why I go to say layman L because James Wan is producing a Mortal Kombat film and Them they too are both friends best friends I would totally go with saying get him to direct the Mortal Kombat film I think the way he decided to direct and stylize these action sequences were brilliant And the best thing was was the guy who behind us who won one of the grotesque scenes happen He went fatality.  Oh, oh, and that's the best So this is a film. I do recommend going seeing we pretty much have the exact same thoughts on this film This film is a flawed film, but a very fun film at that. I put it this one I actually told you this when we walked out of theater.  Yeah, no from the trip. I never saw the trailers I will go as far as say though this film I did expect it being since the sci-fi film and since it was under Blumhouse tilt studios I was thinking it might have been a more smarter sci-fi film going in Did the trailers give that because I didn't watch the trailer So did the tri trailers give that kind of smarter feel or was it more of the B rated? You know from what I saw it just it looked like a B rated sci-fi action movie So that's fine. So I guess that's what it looks to be and maybe that's just my expectations going different But I will say it was a fun film. It's a blast to watch the cinematography is beautiful. Yeah, it's true Zack's absolutely right cinematography is great the performances the performances are fine. They're fine I think Logan Marshall green this is another issues the script. Yeah, you talk about the script Yeah, no the script if you guys remember Deadpool 2 when Deadpool says that's just lazy writing You can pretty much attribute that to every single aspect of this movie because the the script the dialogue everything it's Poorly poorly written which is one of our yeah, which is a poorly Yeah, and maybe if you gave got Tom Hardy or say because this guy does look like Tom Hardy or maybe a Leonardo DiCaprio And they got this dialogue. They might have been able to spruce it up a bit, but Logan Marshall green He's a decent actor I think he's actually underrated because he has actually in a pretty good amount of stuff for me his script though The script for this film at times. It was lazy writing. Yeah, and at times the The dialogue was not that well done.  No, but it's it's just chugging along Maybe that's cuz the actors do do a decent time with it I just I feel like there could have been some more non-lazy stuff some other subplots taken out because there were Subplots in here that you said that were placed into the film to just get it over to that hour and a half runtime Yeah, honestly when it comes to this film I don't know if Zack and I really disagree on this and I don't generally say this about films that are only an hour and a Half long because this movie is about 90 minutes long I felt there was enough that you could take out that if the film was Filmed to only be an hour and 20 minutes. It would have been perfect. Yeah, see and I think that's where we do this I do I don't hate the subplots. I didn't I think they were unnecessary But it was to add to just a more of this world in the story and I I understand why they were there But I think that's the one issue. I know you've had some pacing issues too, right? Yeah No, this movie felt very very excruciatingly slow to me and see and I didn't I thought the film was just chugging along it again Predictable when the film starts, you know where it's gonna go. Absolutely when the film ends I will say the ending caught me off guard But this is another issue with me and I think we'll talk about this in a bit We're not gonna go into spoilers. No, so and I don't really want to because I think this is a film that maybe you if you Don't get caught off if you do get caught on surprise. That's awesome I hope it does get work for you that way, but um, I do think that the film Does kind of catch you it tries to catch you off surprise But it leads into a kind of a dumb ending where I feel like the the studio I feel like this wasn't a director choice.  Yeah, and then it kept going. I was like, oh god everyone ground Yeah, everyone grown everyone grown in the theater. Honestly, it kind of felt like Generally everybody going into the film had their own ideas while watching it how the film was going to end and then it Ended a very certain way and out of anything I think this was probably the element in the film. That was the laziest out of anything. Yeah And this is where I think the film just kind of died again It's a fun film if you're wanting a great blast. You've already seen every other film in theater I wouldn't say go rewatch another film. I just recommend this film a hundred percent I think upgrade is a total blast in the theater. It's a dumb Fun grind house be rated film in a sci-fi universe the sci-fi universe is really cool and the CGI was great I mean if you guys are looking for just a fun entertaining movie that you can go out and see with your friends And you want a fun movie theater experience. This is completely a movie. You should go see. Oh, yeah, totally I totally agree get as many as your friends as you can go to the biggest opening night theater You can which will be two nights. So I hope you guys get to check it out I want to hear you guys thoughts on this but since we're going off my rating We give it the same rating correct. Yeah, all right. So our rating for upgrade It has some decent performances some fantastic mortal combat ask action Great cinematography great direction some lazy writing in the script the ending was poor But it's a fun blast of the theaters and I cannot deny that I thought I really enjoyed upgrade I didn't enjoy it as much. I think the story was a tad bit better It probably would have enjoyed it even more. Yeah, but the endings where it kind of fell apart for me again Awesome action. I'm blown away some of the best action I've seen this year So with all that said me and Cody will be getting upgrade a C plus Guys so much for watching our review of upgrade if you guys are new here. I want to hear you guys thoughts That's what's important here. I want to hear you guys comments. What do you guys think about upgrade? Are you side for it? Please comment down below and tell me what is your favorite Blumhouse film? What is your favorite Blumhouse film? We were talking about this. Yeah, I'm right out, right?  I don't know that's really tough I might actually put the first or second insidious because I really like those films But there's so many Blumhouse films. I'd have to go through it But I want to hear your guys's thoughts are of Blumhouse. What are your as favorite films by them? And maybe what's even your worst and plus what did you think of upgrade?

In the case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, by now most people understand why she did what she did. Gypsy Rose Blanchard was the victim of Munchausen by proxy and this led to the murder of her mother Dee Dee. But in this video, I want to take a different angle talking about this case and I believe it's something that all of us can learn from. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, what I like to do is take different topics from the news or YouTube community or TV and movies and pop culture and try to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our own lives. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and yeah, this is something that's been on my mind If I'm being honest, since I think two episodes ago of the show The Act when they introduced Gypsy Rose Blanchard's grandmother, which is Dee Dee's mother and they kind of, they showed that situation, alright? So there's also been a lot of media attention around what happened to Gypsy Rose Blanchard's grandmother and everything like that but basically, basically what we saw in that episode was that Dee Dee's mother, the grandmother was very verbally and emotionally abusive to Dee Dee, alright? And I've mentioned this in some other videos recently where we talk about how parents mess up children, right? So I'm not a licensed psychologist or therapist or anything like that, I never knew Dee Dee, I don't know Gypsy and all that but I'm somebody who's very passionate about mental health and personal development and what I see and what I can assume and my guess is that Dee Dee develops some issues from her mother, okay? And Munchausen by proxy is an interesting disorder and from Dee Dee's point of view she was doing everything out of love and one might argue that Dee Dee didn't feel loved by her mother and what she was doing to Gypsy was an act of love. I actually did an interview with Joey King and they were talking about how this case like in this case everybody was acting out of love, you know, but some people have a messed up version of love so when Dee Dee was doing that to Gypsy Rose Blanchard which was clearly abusive it made Gypsy feel so helpless to a point where she thought her only way out was to murder her mother, alright? Now, what I want to talk about in this video is a larger issue and it's about how things are passed down through generations, it's about how messed up families, it goes down through the generations and it's something that we need to look at and break the cycle. Like when I talk about these cases and you know just looking at people who are criminals and I have a background working at an addiction treatment center where we also specialize in mental illness, I can tell you from my personal experience as well as my own personal experience with addiction and everything like that, most people had some kind of messed up childhood, messed up parents, things were going on in that house and I want you to think about that as well, alright? Like think about how many people, how many people who grew up in an environment where there was like verbal abuse, emotional abuse, maybe even physical abuse, how many of those people who grew up in that environment end up turning into an abuser? How many of them believe that's normal because it's all they ever saw, right? And on the opposite side of that, some people don't become the abuser but since that's what they know, like say for example, a child sees that their mother was being verbally or emotionally or physically abused, that child might get into a relationship or get into a series of relationships of a man or a woman who is very abusive because in their mind what they learn from a young age is that this is normal, this is what love looks like, alright? There is also a very, very high instance of children of alcoholics and drug addicts who then become alcoholics or drug addicts or on the other side of that, people who were children of alcoholics or drug addicts, they are more likely to get into a relationship with an alcoholic or drug addict when they get older.   I believe that's something that came up in the surviving R. Kelly documentary. Now this isn't to make an excuse or anything like that, but the message I'm trying to get out there is that we need to break the cycle. We need to understand that we don't have to become our parents. Now I read a very interesting book. I love reading like books about psychology and mental health and everything like that. And one of the issues is that for any of us who grew up in that kind of environment or households, we focus on like when we become adults or on a way to become adults, we focus on, I don't want to become my mom. I don't want to become my dad. I don't want to become my parents. I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, right? But what this psychologist was arguing in this book was that since our minds have a negative bias and it focuses on the negative, we end up having it turning into this self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Where when we focus on what we don't want to become, that turns into what we do become. So the tip that this psychologist gave in this book, which I'll pass along to all of you, is don't focus on what you don't want to become, focus on what you do want to become. So rather than thinking for example, rather than thinking you know, I'm always gonna be there for my child, I'm always going to be emotionally available, I'm always gonna you know, provide for them, I'm always gonna have a job, I'm always gonna have money, I'm always going to have this, I'm going to do this for them. Like like rather than thinking it as like I'm never going to yell at my kid, I'm never going to spank my child, I'm never going to fight with my child's parent in front of them. rather than saying I'm never going to do those things, think about all the things that you will do, okay? That will help train your brain to focus on the positive aspects. But this is just something that I've always found fascinating, like ever since I remember, I remember dating, dating a single mom, only single mom I ever dated, right?  And she's now almost 14 years sober. I myself am almost seven years sober. And so like this girl, this woman I was dating, she grew up in a very, in a very abusive household, a very, very abusive household, right? And she was a single mom. And yeah, I remember one time, you know, our kids were playing or whatever and something happened with the kids. This was like five, maybe four or five years ago, maybe longer, I don't know. But anyway, something happened with them. And we disciplined our children in different ways, right? And she had opened up to me about, you know, you know, what happened in her childhood. And anyway, she was telling me how I should be parenting my son, right? And I'm talking to her about it.  And she said this to me. She said, well, that's that's what my parents always did to me. So that's the way I'm going to parent my son.  And like, just think about that for a second. She's been very open, very honest. She's very self aware that she had a messed up childhood. But her mind is telling her that she needs to raise her child the same way that her parents raised her. So you're looking at this and you're like, wait, wait a second, wait a second, you're admitting that your childhood was messed up. Why on earth would you want to raise your son in that same way? And it's something that I have to think about as well. Like this was like a big like we all have these aha moments in our life, right? But this was a gigantic aha moment in my life. I'm like, wow, like, am I doing this? Am I doing this?  Am I acting a certain way in relationships because this is what I saw? Like at what point do we pause and say, okay, wait, maybe these things weren't all that great. You know what I mean? So like when looking at what happened in, you know, Gypsy Rose Blanchard's life, you know, what happened to her mother and her grandmother, like I would guarantee if there was like a documentary about Dee Dee's mother, you would see that Dee Dee's mother actually had that relationship, you know, a messed up relationship with her parents as well. And this is something that we have to think about because we're living in a time right now where there's like this shift in generations, especially in the conversation around mental health, right? Like some of the previous generations, like what I grew up with, like my dad raised me and it was like stuff your feelings, don't acknowledge your feelings, toughen up, do your thing, da, da, da, da, right? And like, was that healthy? You know, more and more we're learning as somebody who's passionate about mental health today, like I'm learning that that's not healthy. That's not good, right?  Like a lot of men were taught to, you know, being a man is being a certain way, right?  At what point do we question these things that we were taught? At what point do we question these beliefs? Like, this is something I try to do all the time when I have a fixed belief on something, I'm like, where is that belief coming from? Is it coming from my mom? Is it coming from my dad? Is it coming from, you know, society? Is it coming from a friend? Where is my belief coming from? Am I even acting out of my own self-will anymore? Are my thoughts even my own? Are my behaviors even my own? Or are they coming from somebody else? And this is kind of what I argued in one of my last Gypsy Rose Blanchard videos, is that she was taught to lie, cheat and steal. Gypsy Rose Blanchard was taught these things by her mother, and that is what she knows. They are ingrained in her, and it's going to take time for her to work through that, through therapy and psychology and all that kind of stuff.  I'm acting in a way that, you know, was, you know, impressed upon me by my parents or whoever it was, like, just know, like, you can get better. You can start making better decisions. You can start developing your own life. You can break the cycle. If you're worried that you're doing to your children what your parents did to you, you can break that cycle. Like go out and get help. Like if you're not in therapy yet or you've never seen a psychologist, like talk to your doctor, see if they have any recommendations. Talk to your insurance company, see if they can recommend a therapist or psychologist. Another great thing to get recommendations with is talking to friends who are in therapy and say, yo, can you recommend a therapist to me? Right? I personally use BetterHelp online therapy. There's an affiliate link down below. What that means is you sign up. A little bit goes back to the channel, but I've been using BetterHelp for months now and my therapist is pretty awesome. So just know, you do have the opportunity to break the cycle. You just got to put a little work. All right? Anyways, that's all I got for this video.

Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with a pack of 2019-2020 Panini Mosaic basketball cello pack break number 900, I don't think they actually have done 900 I think I just made up a random number so we don't step on any of the other numbers we've done in the past But we've done a lot of these over the years. Anyways, our last filler to knock out court Kings basketball I've given away four teams here in this In this particular order right here, but we're gonna do the break first Then we'll give away those teams then we'll we'll do that court Kings basketball in the next video big Thanks, everyone here for making it happen. I appreciate it There are the teams right here. Let's roll it and randomize it Four and a three seven times for names and teams different dice roll for the giveaway part one two three four Five six and seventh and final time four and a three seven times for the teams one two three four five Six and seven in the final time. No trade windows in this Just quickly get to the break And we'll get to the giveaway of heart. All right, so here's the first half of the list right here And the next half of the list right here, and let's alphabetize print and rip. Here we go hot off the presses Is the final list there we go? Thanks everyone for getting in on it. Appreciate it. Let's see what we got Cameron Johnson for Terry in the Suns About this pink camo Exciting here Danny Green even Chenzo in a PJ Washington, Jr. NBA debut pink camo for Charlotte. That'll be for a Tim. All right, it's nothing too wild there But what's wild is who's gonna win those those teams now? We're giving away Four teams here four of the nicer teams Detroit Toronto Cleveland and okc in that order. All right, so let's let's gather everybody's names again from tab one from Terry Down to Michael one through 30 And then we're just randomizing your names not the teams will match you up with the team After we randomize it four to four eight times Eight times. Good luck top four after eight one two three four five six Seven and eight eight the hard way All right, so a lot of sad faces here is only the top four can get in So from five on down Ryan Just right on the doorstep But not quite. I appreciate you and everybody five through 30 for getting in I appreciate it But only the top four can be happy Eddie is happy. So is Brian Wesley and Terry Top four has teams in the next break. So you've just parlayed your way into the next break There you go We'll put a little rooftop next to your name to let you know that you won that spot We'll see in the next video Terry with Detroit Wesley with Toronto Brian with Cleveland and Eddie with the okc thunder There you have it. I'll see you in the next video jazzy's case breaks calm


Okay. I see folks joining us. All right. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon, depending where you're joining us from today and welcome to Engineering for Change or E4C for Short. And happy New Year to all of you who are joining us for our very first seminar of 2022. I'm very pleased to welcome you here today as you are all trickling in. So for those of you who are new to the seminar series, this series aims to intellectually develop the field of engineering for global development. We typically host a new research institution monthly or bimonthly to learn about their work in advancing the Nine Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Today's seminar will be presented by Dr. Yael Perez, who is the program director at UC Berkeley's Blum Center for Development Economies and focusing particularly on development engineering, the development engineering program. And today she'll be speaking to us about how engineers can work on problems that matter on the issue that I'm certain is of particular interest to all of you. All right. My name is Yana Aranda and I am the president of Engineering for Change and the director of the ASME Engineering Global Development Team. And I'll be one of your moderators today along with Dr. Jesse Austin Brenneman and more on him shortly. So the seminar you're participating in today will be archived on E4C site and our YouTube channel. Both of those URLs are listed on the slide that you're seeing right now. Information on upcoming seminars is available on the E4C site. E4C members will receive invitations to upcoming seminars directly. If you have any questions, comments or recommendations for future topics or speakers, we invite you to contact the E4C team webinars at engineeringforchange.org. We also invite you to share your feedback at the end of the seminar to inform our strategy. I believe you'll be getting a link to that as well. If you're following us on Twitter today, do join the conversation with our dedicated hashtag, hashtag E4C seminar series. All right. And now it's my pleasure to introduce our seminar series creator and moderator, Dr. Jesse Austin Brenneman, who's an assistant professor at the University of Michigan in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Jesse has a tremendous resume and we are so lucky that he also serves as the research committee co-chair for ASME's engineering global development team. He is currently at Michigan where he leads the global design laboratory as director. I'm not going to read his entire bio because he is a constant figure on the seminar series, but I welcome you to connect with him a moment and he didn't ask me to do that but I'm doing it right now. Jesse will be leading our Q&A for this session and we're so grateful that he is with us today. So before we move on to our presenter, I'd like to tell you a bit more about engineering for change and who we are. E4C is a knowledge organization digital platform and global community of more than one million engineers, designers, development practitioners and social scientists who are leveraging technology to solve quality of life challenges faced by vulnerable populations. E4C's perspective cuts across geographies and sectors including ICT or information communication technology, energy, water, sanitation, agriculture, habitat, health and more. This provides pathways to connect and learn, explore and freely access critical knowledge networks to advance the social sector. E4C members can access news and thought leaders, insights on research and design and hundreds of essential technologies in E4C solutions library, professional development resources and unique training opportunities such as our E4C fellowship. Members also receive exclusive invitations to online and regional events and access and resources aligned to their interests. To learn more about our impact and just about us in general, I encourage you to visit the URL in the slide for more information. E4C leverages our unique community digital platform and expertise to enable the global engineering workforce to contribute their talent in service of the sustainable development goals. One key pathway is through our impact projects. This is an annual program that brings together our ecosystem of pragmatic optimists as we call them with organizations were applied to advance shared sustainability objectives across three work streams. Those are impact research designed for good and advancing workflows. This entails everything from investigating issues or key questions of interest in these organizations, supporting them with design of technology-based solutions and improving processes through advancing workflows. The impact projects are co-designed with these diverse organizations ranging from academic institutions, non-profits, social enterprises, private sector and multilateral agencies. To achieve the objectives determined together with our partners, we assemble a diverse talent pool which integrates our engineering for change fellows who make both these urgent issues and train to execute the mix of scholarly work, private sector market research and human-centered design required to propel the sector forward. On that note, I am eager to share that we are actually accepting applications for our fellowship until January 31st of this year. The fellowships enable engineers early in their professional journey to develop their professional skills while advancing the SDGs. This highly competitive program attracts applications from around the globe and continues to grow. It is an opportunity that is quite complementary to any studies, graduate studies or otherwise for students in the space. So if you are looking to apply to the development engineering program, please note that you can also participate in the E4C fellowship as it runs May through September of this year. It is part-time and 100% virtual. It's a really excellent way to build up your CV and perhaps if you're still not ready to apply for a master's level program, it's something that allows you to build up more experience to really improve your chances of acceptance as well. You can learn more about the fellowship and how to apply in the link that is listed on the slide. So please be sure to check that out. Last year, we received over 600 applications. We had 50 fellows join us from around the world and we're eager to see really great candidates this year as well for those impact projects that have already been identified. I also want to give a shout out to an upcoming webinar that we will have. This is going to be a really exciting webinar with one of our partners for impact projects that are happening this year and happened last year. On March 4th, we'll be celebrating World Engineering for Sustainable Development Day and we'll be hosting a webinar with Habitat for Humanity's Telwego Centre for Innovation and Shelter focusing on circular economy. So more details to come as you'll find on our site and do your mark that date. Put it on your calendar so you can join us for that awesome event. So with all of that background information, it's my pleasure now to meet some of you. I'm eager to see who's joining us today and from where. So I'm going to go ahead and ask you to share where you are joining us from today through the chat window which is located at the bottom right of your screen. Just type in your location and welcome to from Sweden and Cambridge. I'm here coming to you live from Brooklyn, New York. I'm just going to type that in myself. So if you don't see the chat on your on your screen, try cooking the chat icon the bottom of the screen in the little slides. Welcome from Calgary to Ann Arbor, Oregon to Yemen, Nairobi to Trinidad and Tobago. Really great diverse audience and all across the river in New Jersey, Germany, Nigeria, Dayton, Ohio. Welcome everyone, such a pleasure to have you with us today. It's wonderful to have you all here. Please note that you can use the chat window at any time to share your marks during the seminar and if you have technical questions, you're welcome to also put in a private chat to the Engineering for Change administrator. If you have any troubles with a broadcast, try hitting stop and then start or opening up a zoom in a different browser that sometimes helps. During the seminar, please use the Q&A window exclusively which is located below the chat to type in your questions for the presenter as that helps us to keep track of all the questions. And we will like to deserve the last 10 minutes of the seminar for that Q&A. So welcome everybody from Kansas to Nigeria. We're so glad to have you here with this. It's my pleasure now to introduce our presenter, Dr. Yale Perez who is the program director of the Development Engineering program at UC Berkeley's Blum Center for Developing Economies who manages the Dev Engmasters and Dev Eng PhD designated emphasis. Yale holds a PhD in architecture from UC Berkeley with a scholarship on co-design methodologies and technologies, a support and empower communities and desired practitioners in fostering sustainable development. For more than a decade, she has been collaborative leading CARES which is Community Assessment of Renewable Energy and Sustainability, a team of UC Berkeley faculty and students working with Native American citizens in their pursuit of sustainable development. She's going to, I believe, speak about this during her presentations that I want to reign on that parade. I'll let her unpack that further for you. Before joining the Blum Center, Yale was a visiting scholar at IIT, London, India. Yale, we are so honored to have you join us today. I'm going to stop sharing my screen now and turn it over to you to inspire us with your insight. Great. Thank you, Yana. And click the share screen. Okay. Is that looking good? We can see it. It's a bit small, but hopefully if anybody has any trouble, do let us know. But yes, we can see the slide. Thanks. Hi, everyone. It's early in the morning here in California. And I'd like to acknowledge that I'm talking to you today from Berkeley, which sits on the territory of Huchin, the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo speaking of Huloni people, the successor of the sovereign Verona band of Alameda County. This land was, was and continues to be of great importance to the Mawitmah of Huloni tribe and other familial descendants of the Verona band. I put two links in the chat, one explaining more about Berkeley, more about this. And the other way you can find which indigenous land you may be joining from today. And thanks for sharing the places you are from. As I go ahead with my presentation, feel free to share which native land we may be talking from today. So in my presentation today, I will go over my own research in which I developed the concept of development as freedom and how it led powered my becoming involved in development engineering at Huchin Berkeley. I will start with a quick history of sustainable and human centered design and the social pillar of sustainability. I will introduce design as freedom as a way to connect sustainable design and social impact. I will present two studies of sustainable design within indigenous communities in the US, if we have time for both. And I will then discuss why education needs the field of development engineering and we'll close with why development engineering need education and where are we going. It sounds very well organized, but I will flow through this topic and it may pass seemingly, but if you have any questions please include them in the chat. So as Yana mentioned, I come from the field of architecture and their social impact and the integration of social factors in design has been recognized since the 1960s, which is 60 years ago already, in a subfield called environmental psychology. And as part of my architectural education with the Technio in Israel, I was trained, but also here in Berkeley, I was trained to consider social factors in the design, in my designs. The power at the end of the millennium was the millennial sustainable goal, social factors were incorporated into sustainability, acknowledging the importance of these factors in obtaining sustainable world. In 2002, the Johannesburg Plan of implementation, published by the UN, the combination of social, economic and environmental factors has been described as the three mutually reinforcing pillars of sustainable development, to be implemented eventually through the global development goals and developed into the sustainable development goals. So you see on the left the social, environmental and economic pillar of sustainability as it was defined in the early 2000. And then as we know it better today, the 17 sustainable development goals. So now the UN has 17 goals as part of sustainability and the goal I'll be mostly discussing today is goal number 16, promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institution at all level. This has now several indicator and is well detailed or relatively well detailed in the sustainable goals. But originally, as we learn about the social aspect of sustainability, we didn't know exactly what it means in design. And that was where my focus my work was focused on. So let's think a bit more about the past. It wasn't just the UN and big institutions developing sustainable goals. It was actually built on thought leaders in sustainable design. And I share here a few that I built on. And please share in the chat some thought leaders in sustainable design that impacted you. So I went through the cradle to cradle, free and McDonald's, McDonald's and Michael Brungard, natural capitalism by Paul Hawking, Emery Lovens and Hunter Lovens, biomimicry, Jeanine Deneuse, the natural step called Henry Robert, and not done yet by Vananda Shiva. Each of them has a different focus, but all of them trying to think how do we reach the sustainable sustainability in the world. My story of today starts with the environmental director of the penolabial combination who was looking for partners on campus to work on sustainable housing development for grant the PPM the penolabial combination and was planning to get from the HUD, from a housing and urban development. Our collaboration since spanned over a decade, several dissertations, courses, and several environmental directors. So the penolabial combination is a small tribe in California, a nation with around 300 enrolled members. It's situated on the 200 kilometers, sorry 100 kilometers north of San Francisco, two hours drive on the highway. You see here San Francisco, Berkeley is hidden a bit across the bay from San Francisco and we would drive the two hours drive to the penolabial combination. So we started as there were no agreement about what is sustainability and since we didn't know what the term if the term is meaningful or relevant for the tribe and what it means for them, we started our work with the workshop defining their meaning of sustainability. We're set eventually of workshop. What we learned is that sustainability for the PPM is a combination of achieving sovereignty, both cultural and tribal political sovereignty, economic efficiency and environmental harmony. And that was our first publication where we presented the process and the result of understanding sustainability for the penolabial combination. As we started our joint work on sustainable design, I also investigated the meaning of development in sustainable development and I encountered the work of Amartya Sen on development as freedom. According to Sen, the ends and the means of development called for placing the perspective of freedom at the center of the stage. The people have to be seen in this perspective as being actively involved given the opportunity in shaping their own destiny and not just as passive recipient of the fruits of cunning development programs. This is just a sentence from his book Development as Freedom that resonated very strongly with me and impacted my work with the penolabial combination. So Sen defines and identifies five freedoms to help us think of development as freedom. Political freedom, economic freedom, social opportunities, conspiracies and protective securities. But what are these has to do with design. So according to Sen, development should enable people to lead the kind of life that have risen to value. Winning Sen's concept of freedom to design puts greater responsibility on the designer to understand what is the kind of life the people, users, have risen to value before coming up with solutions. Therefore design as freedom as term in this research is the means and the end of achieving development through design in a process that supports human flourishing. The analysis evaluates design freedom by distinguishing agency at different phases through the co-design process, through the material and construction stage and through the design results, the product itself as it becomes an independent agent in each of these phases. So in each of these phases the important characteristic that supports human flourishing in our case study will be highlighted. So what do I mean by all that and design a freedom? So what do I mean by all this? Is that design as freedom is a transformation? Meeting with engineering for change and that makes it even more relevant. So you may call it design for change or engineering for change. In order to contribute to well-being design as freedom should be a process that identifies opportunities, exercise through a place or a product for people to lead a meaningful life. In addition to being an engaging methodology that enables culturally sensitive and sustainable accomplishment, design as freedom, design as freedom is also a transformative process in and of itself, expanding opportunity of all participants in the process by reinforcing relationship and cultivating positive emotions. Exercising design as freedom will force the well-being on the individual level, enhance resilience and support sustainable development on the societal level. And I'll go into more details of how this was developed and what it means. So here is the first research study. We looked into the unmediated technology. What do we do when we do collaborative design? We went through the process of designing the sustainable and culturally sensitive bones with ethnological combination. We had professional designers working together with non-professional designers. And what we found is that the process need to include the first part is to avoid looking at the second part. We need to extract information through reacting to form and then integrating all that through the form or the shape of the design. So in order to reach sustainable design and co-design process, the co-design process needs to start by actually avoiding any discussion of form. And what we specifically encounter is that the member of the community would tell us what we need, what we want in our dream home is very high walls around the house. And we had to unpack that and understand what exactly do you need before they come into the form of a solution which may or may not be high walls around the house. And that was privacy and security, for instance. Then once we had a better sense of the form of design through the collaborative design, we had a discussion on expressive materials as part of their design freedom. So we went over, we created this presentation of different architectural building materials and which of them would be more sustainable, less sustainable. Some traditional material that they mentioned that they would like to work with, like earth, we look into those as well as strawbell. Even if strawbell is not a sustainable material, they mentioned that as something that we'd like to explore and represented those material and the benefit or challenges that may be with each of them. And what resulted is that many of the design feature in the final building were actually not designed. You can see some niches that were incorporated in the wall or incense, blessings. You can see the tree, the shapes of the tree, the round windows. All of these look very design and yet they were created through the material as the people were able to express their design ideas in the actual making. Finally, what we used to think with is the effective design as freedom. And how do we know if the design we've done is effective? In architecture, we have post occupancy evaluation. We had here the advantage of working with academic institutions. So we had a master's student who did an evaluation in a life cycle assessment and created sensors to put in the house and measure the sustainability of the house. And we had a community evaluation, a PhD dissertation by Dr. Chris Gordon that looked on the community evaluation. So that's the advantage of working, one of the advantage of working with academic institution and being able to do all these evaluations of the final product. But this is still what we usually mostly look at sustainable design is the final product and its sustainability. But I want to argue here that the design as freedom is beyond just this one great product. Even a product that proves to be successful to users appraisal, in example, architecture cost, occupancy, evaluation or UX research and product design, it still has a great potential to produce social impact and positive change through the design process itself. Therefore, design as freedom offers an empowering mechanism that enhances agency to achieve human flourishing. So we usually consider the co design process as a way to achieve better design. But here I'm arguing that the co design process is important in and of itself. And the co design process as a process as freedom has the process itself, the material as an opportunity for expression and the final product, the combination of the three. So then we looked further into digital technology and how this can support the co design process. We had a second case study, a second research that I'll go over just quickly. It resulted in a book chapter published with community partners on community based participatory research to an international design competition. That was a set of building in that process. We went through the programming with the community. So that was the co design process with the community. We had different group thinking of a living culture center, which is in between a museum and a cultural community center. And we had the design results from architecture firm and architects from around the world, all together 40 teams from different countries. Some of them were nearby and were able to visit the place and learn about the place and the community. Some of them had to rely only on mediated experiences and that created our opportunity for research. So the designer were our research subject in this research. And you see some of the winners of this competition. And this is the mediated experience of place that the community created. We used the Facebook since everyone was on Facebook back then. We used movies that the community created and that we recorded and pictures of the place. And we asked the designer what worked, what had the most impact. There were a few interesting results. But what we learned mostly was that the technology that was created by the community with the community was the most impactful, the picture they took, the presentation they created through those pictures and the movies they recorded themselves to present themselves. And we also compare designer who had non mediated experience. You see that on the top. And those who had only the mediated experience. And we see that the impact of the technology was much greater for those who had to rely on those. For those who were able to visit the place, the impact was smaller. So this eventually evolves to a structured program. And a few other faculty, faculty who work on design with community gather together to create the graduate group in development engineering. Professor Alyssa DeGeno was working on the research with the penile pulmonation and other UC Berkeley affiliated community based action research offered together the designated emphasis, which is a PhD minor in developing development engineering. That was the first program they offered as a department. More recently, we started the master of development engineering. Both of them are led by the graduate group in development engineering, which is a multidisciplinary group of 30 plus faculty and put only a few of them on this slide, but you can check more of them in the development engineering website. They come from 18 disciplines and that's part, another part of the beauty of academic institution in UC Berkeley that it facilitates this bringing together of faculty from different disciplines and creating almost a separate department in development engineering. So what is development engineering? Development engineering is a field of research and practice that combines the principle of engineering and design with economic entrepreneurship, design, business, and policy, among the others, to create technological intervention in accordance with the needs and wants of individuals living in complex low resource settings. So I'm coming from architecture, but we have students and faculty coming from a variety of disciplines that are not engineering. We have a supporting team in the Blum Center that support the different programs that development engineering is offering. It's as well a multidisciplinary team and the designated emphasis in development engineering is a campus-wide system that provides doctoral students with certification in specialties outside their home discipline to be added to their doctorate. So this again support the multidisciplinary aspect of degrees in UC Berkeley. Developing this designated emphasis in development engineering was sponsored by USAID, a grant from USAID, as well as the National Science Foundation through an NRT NSF research traineeship grant in innovation at the nexus of food energy and water system. And both are trying and are investing a lot in supporting multidisciplinary thinking in solving complex problems. So what is the DE, the designated emphasis in development engineering? It's a program for the PhD students who incorporate the core classes of design, DaVenge 200 and DaVenge 210, which is a design seminar, and elective in three field problem identification, quantitative and qualitative methods, and development technologies. And to have a group of students concentrating on food energy and water system, we collected several classic cross campus that focus on food energy and water system, and the student research will focus on those systems. The master of development engineering is the three semester program, fall, spring and fall, with an internship in the summer. It provides training to solve complex societal challenges in and across the for-profit, the non-profit and the public sectors, in response to the demand of diverse STEM professionals who can invent, adapt and implement technologies to benefit communities in need locally and globally. And it leveraged a human-centered engineering methodology that we described before. We have, we just started this program, this fall, with 46 students in the cohort. The motivation for starting the masters is that the tech industry is now populated by people without development theory and no training in social good issues, even when they are working in developing countries. Innovation and entrepreneurship are core for many development organizations. But what can be more important is knowledge of local contexts and challenges, working with local stakeholders and governments. So the program brings together the need and the master program, the need for problem solving, for implementation of technologies in no research regions, the knowledge of political and cultural complexities and place-based nature of technological intervention, the core skill in qualitative and quantitative methods for evaluating technological intervention, professional skills that involve community-based approaches, teamwork, communication, post-cultural awareness, capacity building and sustainable design. And finally, deep knowledge in the research area for the PhD students or in the concentration area for the master students. So what we learn from some of the employers that we talked to before developing the master is that they are looking for people who know the current state of technology and how it has affected development. But they should also have one thing they are expert in, whether it's energy financing, solar design, etc., which is why we created the secret concentrations in development engineering. The vision was educating change maker, fostering innovation, innovative solutions to global problems. And the mission of the program as an education program is to empower, graduate with the ability to develop scalable, sustainable approaches to complex societal challenges globally and locally, to educate and graduate, to educate graduates to design new sustainable solutions through technology innovations and social entrepreneurship and enable graduates to continue to the development, to continue the development of more sustainable, just and equitable world. What we've seen both through the PhD and the master's program is that the general distribution is more balanced. So we have a good representation of women, which is not often the case in other engineering programs on campus. This is the distribution of countries that students are coming from. So we have about half a court from within the United States and the other half from around the world. And the program itself sits in the Blum Center, which is the home for rich social innovation ecosystems. So I mentioned the development engineering designated emphasis for PhD, the Infuse program, which is the NSF research traineeship. We have the big ideas program that support innovation of ideas by students. And we have also the global poverty and practice minor, which is an undergraduate minor. In all of them, the practice aspect and the experience is an important feature of all these programs. And the campus make it easier, as I described before, to bring different disciplines together. These are some of the disciplines that come together at UC Berkeley for development engineering. And this is where the graduates are going. So we're looking to have graduates as intrapreneurs, innovative specialists, corporate social responsibility leaders, and director of sustainability in big corporation or in organization who have graduating non-profit as non-profit leaders, either creating their own non-profit organization, which has been the case with several of our graduate, both PhD master students, research analyst, impact strategists, etc. And government change agent, foreign service program officers, energy manager, natural resource specialists. And I'll put later some of the links to stories of our graduates, more stories from our graduates. So where are we going with development engineering? Where the field should be going is broadening participation through localizing engineering solutions. And we recently got awarded the NSF inclusion across the nation of communities, of leaders, of underrepresented discoverers in engineering and sciences, which is called NSF Includes. We worked with the team. I was part of the team of faculty. Professor Alyssa Gugino, together with Professor Coletta Chipp, has an NSF research traineeship that focus on the Native American in food energy water systems for University of Arizona and our program in development engineering in UC Berkeley, with this specific collaboration with the Pinolevic combination. And we brought together this set of faculty to create a career pathways in food energy and water system within Native American communities. So our focus now is on Native American communities as part of broadening participation of other represented and underserved minorities. The idea is that we want to change now the system. We want to address urgent food energy water challenges in indigenous communities here in the US. We want to co-develop, for that we want to co-develop integrated indigenous place-based fused curriculum mentoring and practice experiences. So we want to make transform the institutional STEM field to be relevant and accessible to indigenous communities. And for that we use curriculum and intervention to recruit, retain and graduate indigenous students. And that will bring back the circle into the capacity to address urgent fused challenges in indigenous communities. So again we have this cycle of creating the curriculum, transforming the system, the academic system, making science more relevant to indigenous communities and students. And by that bringing more indigenous students to the field who can then go back to their community and address the urgent food energy water system challenges. So this is our shared vision of the Native Fuse Alliance. Our professional focus is fused because it encompasses basic human needs, the food, energy and water. It's the foundation of health and well-being and the development engineering. UC Berkeley has proven numbers that development engineering on food energy water system brought more diversity both gender and underrepresented minority minorities to the field. Our focus is on work with Native American communities. We want to bring traditional knowledge that will contribute to the institutional knowledge, making food, energy, water, system professions relevant to Native nations. And we want to serve the First Nation first. And we started with the West of the United States which covers both mountain plains and the coast and will expand to the rest of the U.S. and the rest of the world from there. So this is our project goal, weaving pathway to career in food and energy water system for Native youth and students. We start thinking with pre-college programs and we have members that are managing this program including the Pinoleville Permanentation, the work we've been the nation tribe we've been working with. They have academic success centers that they have been managing for many years. We have partners that are tribal colleges and community colleges. We have undergraduate programs that are focused on views in Native American communities. We have the graduate program, the UC Berkeley University of Arizona and other graduate program. And we want to collaborate with the different career organizations offering career pathway in food, energy, water systems. So this could be post-doc and academic career but also government organizations, non-profit organizations, teacher education and the private sectors are working with and within Native American communities. And that's the plan of achieving scalability and sustainability and the development engineering model. So we have a cycle where we, our education model cycles around the combination of quantitative and qualitative data that informs a plan for intervention, then pilot and test action. We then do a study that evaluates the action and an analysis and framework for scale action, scaling that action into a program implementation and then back to adjusting the plan. So this is how we mentor our students, how we educate our students and how we implement our own program in development engineering. And that's all I have for you today. Thank you very much. All right. Thank you, Dr. Perez, very much for the talk. I think one of the things, so really exciting to hear about it. We're seeing a lot of questions in the chat about how they can become part of your program and what are the different pathways to your program. So I think a lot of people are inspired to, you know, looking for pathways to come into the field. And one of the things, I don't know if my, sorry, I had my headphones working. One of the things that I would ask just to start with while people continue, if you're a participant and you have questions for Dr. Perez, please go ahead and put them either in the Q and A. You can type them in and then I will try and synthesize them. But I wanted to start with this sort of central idea that you began with, of sort of design as freedom, right? And you spend a lot of time talking in your different projects.  It's not this program where we're coming in and doing a development project, and then everything's great, right? This is something where the people and the place of whatever community is of interest is central to the whole project. And I wondered if you could talk a little bit more about what you mean by design, because you're an interdisciplinary program, right? And you're coming from architecture and you've talked about some of the things, some of the works that were central to your thinking about sustainable design. We also talked about engineering and sustainability. And I think that those words mean a lot of perhaps different things across these disciplines. So when you're thinking of design as freedom, what can you just talk a little bit, like expand on what you mean by design and what you're thinking about when you're saying this is bring, you know, this in itself equals freedom? I don't know if that articulates the question, Yeah, thanks. Thanks for this question. And I need to articulate that even for myself and remind myself, okay, what are we talking about indeed when we design it? So clear to me coming from architecture, but I'm working with students in different disciplines. What we were emphasizing for both the students and through the faculty is that design works on different interventions. So in the past, we mostly worked with engineering students who are working on different technologies. I'm coming from architecture, which focus on design of the building environments, it could be urban planning, and the building level architecture, or landscape. But we're also talking about a student coming from policy and designing a policy as an intervention, a student coming from education and designing an education program as an intervention or a curriculum. So design can really encompasses both tangible and intangible products. Students bring and we encourage students to bring their own focus of design and use the design methodologies, the same design methodologies and the process in whatever intervention they are inspired to work with. Yeah, that's great. Thanks. I did want to make that clear because I know that, you know, people listening. So I was like, okay, I was following, but I want to make sure all of our students across the different disciplines. So thank you for that. Allow me to ask a follow up question just because I want to synthesize what people are saying in the Q&A and in the chat. A lot of people are very interested in the pathways to your program. I really like how you broke down, you know, sort of the histogram of where people currently in your program are that. And I saw that tied pretty closely with the projects that you're doing where you're like, we're trying to get more pathways both in academia, but across all of these sort of future careers to expand who is doing the design, who is making these decisions and doing that. And again, sort of centralizing the people in the place within the whole process. Can you talk a little bit about how people, not necessarily the logistics here, but how are you building these pathways and what do these pathways look like sort of specifically? So if I was in Zambia right now, what would be my pathway towards getting to your program or towards getting into these careers and pathways that you talked about, whether that's NGO or company or government? How do you see, what do we need to do as a community to sort of continue the work that you're doing and expand these pathways? So I think for me, starting my own PhD when development engineering wasn't around on campus was exciting to see this as an academic field being developed. And the support it gives the students in pursuing, especially in the PhD level pursuing your research that is implementational. So we've been hearing in the past students saying, you know, okay, you want to work with the community, that's great, but this is not part of your PhD. This is not part of your research. Your research needs to be in the lab and you need to prove things there. And students often had to do that outside their academic degree. And by creating development engineering as part of the institution, it now becomes part of their degree and accepted part and evaluated part and something that is appreciated. And that's true for the faculty as well. Faculty has been doing investing a lot of time in working with communities, wasn't evaluated for many years. And now it becomes more part of the institution that community work is part of the academic requirements as faculty. So we have again, the PhD program is at the moment just a minor. So students are coming into different departments. And as they are accepted to the different departments, they can choose to do a minor in development engineering. So the first step for PhD students who want to do research in development engineering is to be accepted into any of the department in Berkeley. And we had students in development engineering who pursued PhD research in the social sciences as well. And the master program is for people who want to be more practitioners and apply their intervention more immediately who do not want to pursue a long-term research into the field. So thank you. Yeah, that definitely answers that question. Just as a quick follow-up because there are multiple questions about this, sort of logistically, you know, a lot of the students that I have seen, there's big differences between the academic systems in many of the countries that you're drawing from, right, and the U.S. So I wonder, is there a way like how if someone was interested, you know, we're talking both logistics from like a financial perspective, like what scholarships are available, how do I get those, how do I apply for those? And, you know, if I'm in the U.S. system, I'm used to it, I'm at a U.S. institution, I can sort of understand the Berkeley ecosystem and what's going on and it's very used to me. If I was a student participant today, where can I go to sort of get information about that? Would I just reach out to your guys' program or are there other ways that you're seeing students, pathways for students, to your master's program or to your PhD program? Yeah, so definitely the first step is to reach out to the program and I'll put that as well in the chat. I put it at the end of my presentation, but on our website for the master's program, we put several fellowships that are focused on master's students. PhD students generally have more options of research and the department, UC Berkeley now, more and more departments across the campus are required to offer students that accept a package that includes fellowship throughout the years. So that's for PhD students. The master's students have external fellowship and we are grateful to have the MasterCard Foundation sponsoring students specifically from Africa and that application is through the UC Berkeley campus and there have been different fellowships sponsoring different specificities of students. We put those we know on the website. We also have our internal fellowships, both a married fellowship and a need-based fellowship that students can apply in the application. Perfect. All right. Well, I think that we're very, very close to time and Yana always, always dings me if I don't, if I go over because I have lots of questions. I want to thank you, Dr. Pritzfer, for coming and speaking to us today about the program, but really speaking to this, the need for us as a discipline and a community to centralize location in place in our process. And I was really excited to hear a sort of about where you guys are going in the work that you're doing and again, sort of laying a pathway for us to build on. So I'm going to personally thank you because I'm inspired to go off and continue working and trying to continue to do stuff with communities and do it in a better way. And I'm going to turn it over to Yana to wrap it up. So again, thank you and Yana, please. Thank you. Thank you, Yale. Thank you, Jesse. This has been such a great presentation to start the new year. So I'm going to share my screen real quick here to highlight just a note for all of our listeners. If we didn't address your questions, we do apologize. Feel free to send us an email so we can relay those questions to Yale and perhaps address them through a follow-up communication or an article. For those of you who are joining us, I do encourage you to also join us as members and on the note of building up your CV for applications to the program at Berkeley. Also, you can feel free to leverage the U of C fellowship. And with that, I want to wish all of you a good morning, a good evening, or a good afternoon wherever you are joining us from today. And we look forward to seeing you on the next E4C seminar or webinar. Thank you, everyone. Thank you to our presenters. This has been an enriching conversation. Have a good day, everyone. Take care.
