This 2016 GMC Acadia SLT is stock number 12416Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used SUV headquarters. This 2016 GMC Acadia all-wheel drive SLT has the 3.6-liter V6 engine. It pumps out 281 horsepower. This vehicle has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off. And this one is 100% ready to go. We're going to go inside all the way around, check out under the hood, started up in this video. Carbon black metallic is the color and we shoot all of our videos in 1080p 60 frames per second. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, and options of the vehicle before seeing it in person.

These are 20-inch rims and it has, like noon, Nexon Rodian FTX 25550R20 tires. They have a lot of tread left on them. I'd say 80 to 90% of the tread left on those tires. Front fender is in nice shape. I didn't see any major dents on there. Headlight lenses are nice and clear. It does come with the projector lamp headlamps, the LED running lights, and the projector lamp fog lamps. As we come around the front bumper here, no major dents, dings, or cracks on that. You do get the chrome-trimmed grille on there. And the hood is in excellent condition. I didn't see any major dents or dings on that. Passengers side front fender looks really good as well. And the passengers side rim, no major scuffs or scrapes. Now, carbon black metallic's got a lot of metal flake in it. You can see just how nice that sparkles in the light there. And as you go down this side of the vehicle, take a note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. And we take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back rims in excellent shape. And the back tires are just as new as the front tires. Four-wheel disc brakes on this Acadia. And as we come around to the back, you'll notice that it does have the towing package with the receiver hitch and seven-pin wiring. Rear bumper is in nice shape, no major dents, dings, or cracks on that. And the tailgate is in really nice condition as well. This is a power liftgate. And we do have the cover for that receiver hitch right there. Those seats do fold down for extra storage and you do get storage underneath there as well. Like I said, these seats fold down and they go almost completely flat, but that seat's got to be up a little ways. I'll show you on this side that other seat is up farther. You can see just how nice and flat that those go. And then they have the straps right there to get the seats back into place and that works pretty nicely. To get this gate down, you just press this button right here and it'll come on down. You can see it comes down nice and smoothly. And coming around the driver's side just as clean as that passenger's side, I didn't see any major dents or dings on the rear quarter. And for full disclosure, this back rim is in very nice shape. Down the rest of the side of the vehicle, no major dents, no major dings. Looks really good. You do get heated mirrors, built-in directional signals.  Both of these front seats are heated. No rips or tears on the seats. Looks really good. You get lumbar, factory, all-weather floor mats, auto headlamps, power windows, power locks, and power mirrors. You get the nice wood-grain trim on there, the Bose sound system. We'll hop inside, turn the ignition on so you can check out the miles and the radio. Everything that this vehicle has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 65,719 miles. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. You get the leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and audio controls on the right, cruise controls on the left. No major rips, tears, or scuffs on that steering wheel. This one comes with the touchscreen radio, AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities, and it does have the factory navigation system on there. You can see that it does have Sirius, and this is also where your backup camera shows up.  USB jack, 6-speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift, and then the passenger side floor mat and seat are in excellent condition. So this one has, I think, GMC calls it the Skyscape Roof. So you get the power sunroof in front and then the second row glass fixed roof, map lights and home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems, and on-star and SOS capabilities in the rear view mirror. We'll take a quick look at the back seats, and then we will start it up and then take a look under the hood. So the second row gives you the quad seating. No rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Those seats are in great condition. And then these seats can fold down like so to kind of go into a cargo mode. You can see that those third row seats are in excellent shape as well. And that goes up like so. And you can slide these forward to get to the third row. And you can see that those slide nice and smoothly. They go pretty slick like so. And you get that all-weather floor mat back here and rear audio controls and air controls. Child safety locks on the back doors, the bottoms of the doors all look really good. You can see any corrosion on them. And we will start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video you will have been able to verify the quality and condition of this Acadia all the way around inside and out. All the headlights and running lights are working nicely. And under the hood we have the 3.6L V6 VVT engine. Runs very smooth. Engine bay is very clean. Not much to see under here, but this Acadia has been fully safety inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off.

What's the difference between favoriting a channel and following a channel? That is the topic of today's video.  It's like in the crevice. Is this shirt made of like... Hydrophobic material? It's not getting any of the coffee. Max. Let's start over Max. Steve, what's the difference between favoriting a channel and following it? What's the difference in teams between favoriting a channel and following a channel? That's a great question. What's the difference between favoriting something in teams and following it? There's a great switch license. We would suspend hours. So what I thought was is when you favorite a channel and somebody posts something on there you will actually get a pop-up like if you have teams on your mic on your phone that you'll get an actual pop-up saying hey something has been added to your channel. Favoriting is going to pretty much make it easier for me to get too quick or for me personally to get to where if I'm going to follow something I'll have a shortcut to follow everything that is being intertwined with that. I don't know the answer to that. Okay. That is a good question. Pedro, do you know that? Did I already explain this to you? No. I'm guessing when you favorite you get alerts. When you follow you just get the bolded notification in the team. You're very close. It's actually switch it around. Favorite just shows up in your channelist view. But if you follow you're going to receive the alerts. All right. So the difference between favoriting and following. So click on the more channel icon in your list of channels. You'll click on a star to favorite a channel. And then that way it shows up immediately in your list. So when you go look at your teams you can see all the sub channels. If I want to be notified every time that a new activity happens. I'll click the follow this channel button. And so now it doesn't matter what's typed in here. The person doesn't have to use the at mention feature for me to get notifications. As you can see I'm getting notifications right now. Even though it's not using the at mention feature. So that's how important that channel must be. Like if you're following your friends on Facebook you get activities. So anything that happens shows up in your feed. Favorites you just get to pick the teams that are your favorite. And they show up here and you can see your files. The different locations of the team itself. Hey everybody if you like our content don't forget to like and subscribe. You can also click on the notification bell to get notified every time that we post a new video. Which we do quite often.

And here we are on the metal voice. What is going on everybody? All right big day today last second jumping on the internet. Oops Jumping on the internet last second to talk about the track Been a busy day been a busy day just out of the blue last night I see this track is coming up and didn't even know if I was gonna do this and just out of the blue call Amen and game and let's just do this fast fast. Let's talk about this new song amen Tell us about yourself a little bit We got a little time Hello there James. It's great to see you again my friend Well, I'm over here in the old Ireland and you know when there's rustling through the trees It's all very beautiful over here The best news is I've got a trooper by my side in celebration of today's news All right. Good. There you go. The workday is done. Now. It's time to drink a little bit. All right So let's talk about this. I'm gonna bring it up here on the screen whoa Strategio strategy Joe Stratigo Stratigo, I think it's pronounced like that. So it's or Stratigo. I don't know Is it is it Stratigo or Stratigo or is it? Stratigo, what do you think? I would go I would go with a lot of them. What's I know, you know, the Japanese version Yeah, yeah, that's what I would go with I don't know, but um This is the second track From maintenance long awaited 17th studio album Sinjutsu Sinjutsu which is to be released september 3rd It's one of two songs on the 10 track 82 minute long album And it's written by yarr yannick yarr's garr's yarr's right yarr's garr's And founding member steve harris. All right. So right off the bat The excitement is building up. What did you think? Um, well first off an interesting fact. I went back through I was like, you know, all the singles of late have been idrian smith has basically had a right In most of the singles smith harris This is the first single to have garr's name on it since out of the silent planet. So it's been 20 21 years would that be right?  However He has contributed some brilliant songs to iron maiden. Uh, probably the finest one. I would have said would be, um Uh ghost the navigator or dream of murrers. I think he called it with the um But yeah, this is a nice second single. It feels like a second single uh with that mid-pace thing going on probably Uh In the same way as say two minutes to midnight something like that So after all the excitement and the burst of energy with writing on the wall, it's nice to follow up with something punchy like this Um, and I think it it bodes well for the album Yeah, by the way, how do you like my new todlatori shirt? You like that?  I know he's not paying me. He just sent me a shirt. So I figured and you know what? It's soft like bunnies like if you were to wear bunnies. Yeah, this is what it would feel like Well, I've got my todlatori shirt all Different guy Yeah, yeah, different guy completely. All right, here we go. So here's my opinion, you know Put it on it. What is it like four or five minutes long the song? Is that what it is? What's that? Is that the amount of hurt? I think it's a great song. It's tight And it's sort of you know progressive and tight and melodic But the said the production is really that's what sort of like kills it for me The production is out of the word is muddy or thin It just seems like bruce recorded his vocals in his house Not to say that people don't do that, right? But How were you listening to it? Were you on spotify or youtube? So I listened to it on youtube That's probably because someone else said that to me as well. Like just listened to it on youtube But initially I listened to it on spotify. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah And it shouldn't really matter. I mean, I don't I don't say, you know, they're similar You know, I don't know the science behind the technicalities, but it really shouldn't matter But I would agree with you on listening to it on youtube the mix It doesn't seem to be as clear as the spotify version. I listened on spotify. I thought This is a good production. Actually, you know, there's echo on the vocals Bruce is singing harmonies for the first time and god knows how long Um, and I thought it actually wasn't I was speaking to you earlier and said this probably the best would just Uh track that bad since brave new world at era if I ever listened to it on youtube I agree with you.  It's it's it's got a lot of meaning It's it's really such a great song, but it'll never be that hit on the radio and And and I kind of put that this song into that category. It ain't no run to the hills It ain't no two minutes to midnight. It's not number of the beast It's just It's just a very good well crafted song and I'm just I was kind of breaking it down for you before this, right And just to understand it like this is the structure and Correct me if I'm wrong about these things. Okay It starts off with a melodic riff, right You know sort of like to to bring the sort of like the tone and the melody to the song Then it goes into a verse and then you comment on this. There's that guitar riff underneath the verse Yeah, I mean not not in trump chair, but to to go along with what you're saying I love that first melody. It's like a two two note chord thing Although I suspect you'll have dave marie playing the lower register young fan higher one And I think that's great at the start of the song But I really dislike the melody under the voice to me the to me it sounds like It's like a guide to go. All right. This is the melody. I want you to sing and then he plays it And it wavers It wavers because they're not bruce isn't singing exactly They and yannick isn't playing exactly the melody.  Yeah, so he's singing it right in a certain way and the guitar is playing the same thing But in the background so they've done that on songs of dance of death. They've done that on On the last album, they've done it, you know, they they they tend to do that a lot So that's the verse so opening melody you go into the verse and then what's really cool They go into like a pre-chorus and a pre-chorus is sort of like it's a chorus But sort of like it happens before sort of like there's two choruses And that's kind of like the open notes and the big notes, right? Correct? Yeah, there must have been listening to abba abba all we said you need two choruses What a great song Right, you've got that's your first chorus and then see that girl And it's clever and it's clever to do a pre-chorus and it's different than a bridge A bridge is sort of like happening once or twice. So you got your your verse You got your pre-chorus and then you got your chorus where he's kind of you know repeating the same Not as much repeating but the phrasing and the phrases are repeated a few times And then you got the back vocals coming in right and it and back vocals and they do it right So he's got his voice On the first round of the chorus and then the second round of the chorus He comes in with the back vocals which sort of creates a more of a larger dynamic, right? Makes it more intense Yeah, I love to hear the harmonies One of my favorite tracks on Brave New World is the closing song with the inline between love and hate Which is it's kind of a deep cut now, but Bruce is singing harmonies the entire way through the voice the verse And it's a very underutilized thing when you've got a singer as powerful as Bruce Dickinson I mean you listen to something like wasted years the chorus of that and all those harmony So it's a to me. It's a fantastic surprise Because they tend not to sing harmony vocals. I can't remember the last time harmony vocals were used on a maiden track Um, so to me that was one of the big losses for this song Yeah, I mean, you know a perfect, you know If you look at uh, Flight of Icarus as an example that's that's like the three-part harmonies on that right You don't see much of that anymore. You see a little bit of it But not as much it's nice to see it and they put in the right place like he sings the chorus And then he adds the vocals on the on the repetition of the chorus right which lifts it up a little more And then it's really cool because after that Where am I now? And then they go back to the pre-chorus from the chorus And then they go to the verse And then from the verse they don't do the chorus again. They go right into the solo. What did you think about the solo? um, well, it's a yannick air solo So He just he fell asleep when he just decided to record it. Um, yeah, I I'm much more fan-adjusted about the works of solos I Dave Murray fires them off without thinking about it too. Although he's got the ticker style that works Yannicks Do you know what I would say this isn't one of his worst solos? There's loads of them in that category. Um There's a there's a melody he used halfway through the solo and I thought that's interesting It sounded like there's some structure and some form to it. So You know, but what can you say? I mean, it's a yannick air song. So he can play the solo. It's my song. I'm playing the solo lads All right, I would agree with you. I mean, it's it's it's okay. It's all right.  You know, I'm saying it's a great it's good It fits with the song. I wouldn't say doesn't fit but is it memorable? Not so much, but it fits with the song and it's fine and it's not too too long Then there's then from the solo, you got that cool midsection, right? You know and things are changing up and this is the difference between Maiden in the sort of and martin made a good point about this He goes you can't just keep repeating the same stuff and call it progressive Well, this is a this is a good example of a progressive song That's tight and that's kind of like there's a lot of changes going on And this is what a real progressive song is lots of bridges lots of pre-courses courses lots of changes In a tight manner right to make things real super interesting And you have that midsection and the keyboards are coming in now, right? You got a little bit of keyboard in the back. I actually really like that The keyboard backs up the melody at the end the the guitar melody and there's a really nice tone to it and I see michael kenney Doing something, you know I'm between tuning up the bass Yeah, I mean, okay We're not talking about complicated keyboard here just a little bit on a little bit on the top there You know just just to make it sound really yeah, no it no it works. Um, I think it's a nice addition It's not when I heard it. I thought that's not keyboard for keyboard sake.  Uh, I just say towards the end. Yeah All right. Here we go.  Hold on And just like that Who's that guy? Who's that guy? It's not called a tarry to come on I think Todd a tarry. Look, what do the Todd a tarry? I think I thought that was hysterical. Todd a tarry You'd be there. It's the japanese tribute to queens, right? Turn tide tide turn off the volume on the on the computer Remix mute There's nothing else on just how I normally have it You could hit mute Well, if I hit mute on my computer, I won't be able to hear you It sure you will no You're on zoom. No, you could you could close it. You close it.  We lost it. But now you got to put on There's a weird delay happening You know, you got to do what now you got to put on put on headphones. All right, let me try that And in the meantime, don't tell me what to do. I'm the singer of queens, right? Let me alone Oh my god, we're gonna hear look at that. Look at that repeat. Yeah I don't have to do here I'm gonna tell everybody fast fast what happened yesterday. Yesterday. We're doing the interview with doro with my todlatory shirt on And everybody fast fast what happened yesterday. Oh god. We're getting a huge repeat There's the man There we go. Can you hear us now? They're still at the way You got to turn off the youtube turn off youtube just close it close youtube Trust me Okay, how about now? Perfect. Yeah, that's good. Now you can take off your headphones too Let's try it now. That's it. Look at that magic I had another youtube up with with an ironmaiden concert paused Yeah, that's weird. Anyway, hey real quick Obviously, I love ironmaiden. I I heard it on my phone and then I was playing it through my I'm in the garage doing some work yeah, and it was uh Crank it through my system through my speakers out here and it sounded better but the vocal does sound a little muffly but uh The first thing that I noticed that You know was that lead under it almost sounded like a lead guide track when you're sending a file to somebody to go Hey, here's a vocal melody Sink just what I said and then he came up with a melody and then they didn't mute the Mute that now I like the keyboard part during the chorus that goes with the melody But the one during the verse take I don't know I don't want to say anything because it'll be it'll be a goddamn blabbermouth headline tomorrow. So no, that was my first thought You know what you you can speak to the parts and it's fine, right? You know, that's all good It's a it's a cool song though and it you what I like is I can hear Like the room especially on the drums Like it has that more old school like recording sound, which I I think people are kind of going back to You know like instead of like sound replacing like you can hear Nico's drums like like Really well and you can hear the natural tone of the drums happening, which is like something you haven't really heard in a long time, but uh it's definitely You know, I like this better than the first single. Okay. Actually, that's what I was gonna ask you just that Do you like this better? What about you? Amen. Amen. What about you? Well, I I actually but is this metal is this metal go ahead. Amen. I I actually I made a few notes of my last note is I much prefer writing on the wall Oh, look at that. So there's the answer A little debate happening here, but then I'm it's the adrian smith thing too. You know, I just think he writes I don't know a bit more melodic songs blue yannick writes melodic songs too, but um, I I prefer that one, uh, even even even a multiple listens to I really like the midsection. I really like the midsection. It sort of made the song more exciting After that, yeah, yeah, absolutely. It just made it so much more exciting Yeah, I don't know and I and I liked how it faded out too Like he's got the chorus and he just stops he doesn't keep repeating over and over he just stops And it's got a little sort of eerie keyboard at the end Which I I liked it must be like a minor key of some sort another Yeah, I like I like the section after the guitar solo. I thought that was a nice change I agree. I agree. I think a surprising thing is that um, It's five minutes long, which really isn't a short song But it feels like a short song and I think that's that's actually a good Okay, I'm gonna look at the comments here because a lot of people are saying a lot of stuff Air is saying all of adrian solos are memorable every minute after every Even minutes after writing on the wall came out people instantly recognize the phrasing of adrian solo And that's to your point, amen And it's true adrian has more and he thinks more about creating those solos not to say that Yannick doesn't but I'm just saying he just seems that way That is that way That is that way adrian crafts his solos and yannick Improvises, you know and yannick comes from he would argue that he comes from kneeing gellin. I'm sorry. I've written blackboard You know just off the cuff kind of player Um, whereas adrian would sit down and construct his solos and that's that's very evident by what he comes out with And sanix is saying good song, but again garbage production as usual and that's to everybody's point here I wouldn't say garbage. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't say garbage. I would just saying thin Here's the thing We're so used to hearing a much more compressed crisp There's just a different sound that we've been hearing for the last 20 years that when you go back And you listen to somewhere in time peace of mind Even seventh son. There's you know, just the older records of all the all these bands This sounds kind of more like what would have been recorded would have what might have sounded like 30 years ago Unless you're talking, you know, there was a couple crazy high fidelity like empire and uh in god we trust there was like a few records that were so Crisp and like Not what you were used to hearing, but I think we're so used to hearing Just what what engineers are doing today sound replacing all the drums Everything is a lot of guitar players using plug-ins. Like you're not hearing that rawness So I think sometimes people are quick to say The production doesn't sound good, but that's subjective and But I don't know the first thing I noticed at least when I had my my phone listening is The vocals sounded kind of like a little mufflery like back there And instead of very present and bright and it it definitely sounded a little further back now when I played it in here in the garage It didn't sound quite like that But it certainly doesn't have the that presence that we're used to hearing But again, that's a very subjective thing and I mean, all right Yeah, well, okay So one of my buddies jay sends me a text today and he goes jimmy, you know, they they should they need somebody like martin birch To sort of like you have Zeus right right Todd, you know, you got a crack in the whip, right? You need someone to say look, I know you love this part, but you need to change it someone to be objective And I don't know. I don't know who produced it or maybe they self-produced after all these years Well, it's Steve harris Kevin surely so harris has got a co-producer credit for the first time since their the the the reunion Wow Yeah, well, what do you aim and what do you feel about the the Do they need do you think steve harris and the caveman is on on course? They're doing well or do they need to bring in somebody with some fresh ears to really crack the wind I mean that Todd was mentioning it there the production on Somewhere in time, which is like what 30 plus years old Is head and shoulders above anything that they've done You know, well seven some was great and then after that no What drives me mental actually is if you listen to an album like say for all kings by anthrax worship music The production on those albums is stunning. I would say they're the best just metal albums of recent times and you go Put iron midden with a producer like that. I was Jay rusting wasn't it done for all king And you could have something magical I think like anthrax are one of the the only bands at the minute that are truly cranking out albums that Easily stand head to head with what they did in the past and that's that's what I think about the production It's like I another another thing is like A great song is a great song a great song with a mediocre mix You know, if you if you take like if you take Sometimes like you could I mean sometimes people say well a bad song is a bad song. It doesn't matter how good you make it sound, but Sometimes you could take a mediocre song with an incredible production and That perception is that maybe it's better than it is, you know, so if you take a really good song With a production that just isn't resonating with people that first thought is ah sounds this Sounds this that that and and maybe the music Like listening to the actual musical composition and the song becomes secondary because they're just listening to how it sounds But you put that with an incredible production and it just elevates it So much like when we write we'll be like, yeah, this is cool like on a demo and our demo sound Dude, our demo sound is good As good as a most bands finished product them when we do the final thing and we're like, holy crap Wow, that really made that come alive. Yeah, and you know, how important Todd How important is it to have Zeus there saying, you know what? I'm not digging it. Do it again You know, how would have like, but I mean Is that so important? How important is it for a band? it's very important because as a as writers and as people in the band you get married to the demos and you've heard that Term a lot. I'm sure you have a personal connection and you have feelings attached to it That's how you heard it in your head. This is how you And then somebody that has zero feelings on it and they just critique it how they hear it. They're like You know, maybe somebody was said dude that guitar you got going on in the back with your vocal on the chorus Get rid of it. You're it's competing with the vocal. It almost sounds like a vocal guide track Um, is it really benefiting and then everybody goes well, no, I think it Emphasizes the melody and then somebody would say you don't need it to emphasize. It's Bruce Dickinson. He he is the he's the guy You know singing that melody. So you get different opinions and then the producer goes I bang the gavel.    Don't do it. And he goes, that's just kind of how I phrase things I don't think to do it. It's just how my my mouth It finishes something and it becomes signature to him so I gotta say very important. It's very important And I gotta say it's even more important in the mix Because what happens is when the band starts mixing stuff and they don't do it consciously You do it subconsciously they start putting themselves louder or they're whatever they did louder because they think no no It's it's it's not loud enough and and and that's why you need a third party just to go in there and And make sure the mix is done properly too Not only that but like when we do when we do recalls on a mix or like a record We all have notes and I'll say hey This this harmony vocal on this one part Needs to come up like two db's too. It's it's just I like it talked but it's almost I don't even know if I can hear it and then You know, so we all but then it goes back to what are you listening on? Put your good cans on Listen to it through your good headphones flat no eq Listen to it that way And then put it in your burn a cd put it in the car drive around listen because that's how people are going to hear it And we go over these but we usually go through about three rounds of notes of little baby stuff Like, you know because again in your head like your eddy might be focused on a bass part or a vocal And you know, but we all try to be very step outside and just listen to the balance of everything Nobody should be stepping or walking on another instrument unless it's a a very deliberate Part that you want to emphasize otherwise, you know, yeah You want a nice full rounded bodied mix where guitars are present But they're not over driving something and fighting with vocals and frequencies and whatever But it's it's very important to have somebody there And I would say and I'm not they're gonna let you say it because you know things happen I'm gonna say that they need to and and amen could say this too Because whatever we say, you know, it's not gonna go viral Uh, I would say they definitely need a friggin producer and I could see even the comments people keep saying they need I think you know, my fresh pair of ears there. I think you're right And I think a lot of people would agree But I think we all just have to accept that it's Steve Harris's band and he that's the way he wants it You know what? Yeah, and sometimes They might say That's the expectation There's a reason why we did what we did and maybe we're just not up to speed with their vision I don't I'm not here to critique That iron maiden.  I was thinking he was actually recording it in his house those vocals and that it sounds like a, you know, a home That doesn't matter. That that doesn't even matter. I record or a poor home home recording You know, like somebody didn't know to hook up properly recording because I want to I get these Band demos a lot and it and it sounds like that, you know, like guys who don't understand how to, you know, record their vocals And that's what you get you get that muffled sound, right? I'd have to listen to it again I only listened I listened to like three quarters in the house and then I came out here and put it on and Right before it was done Uh, you hit me up and then I kind of so you're talking about the fade out I didn't even hear that yet. No fade out.  Yeah I'll listen to it like multiple times today And and have a better assessment, but I do like the song. I think it's a cool song. It's got that traditional gallop That, you know, it's kind of signature to like that Steve Harris Here's a great question for Todd and Raymond sleep betrays me Do you think they've slow they're slowly covering up Bruce Dickinson's register change? I would I would say Singers get older singers change and get more depth in their voice And if they're they're just they're adapting and and I would use a word the adapting then Changing I don't know. I mean from what I heard he hit some Yeah, no, he hit notes that sound like iron maiden. I didn't hear any Anything that sounded like he couldn't do anything. He sounded. Yeah, the You're right. The timbre of his voice has changed a little bit, but it sounds the same as it's been Still sounds great. It still sounds great. No sounds great and yeah, you know, I think I think people You know can be a little harsh with The aging process the guy did have a cancer or something that he was going through so we don't know You don't know anything about any maybe scar tissue or this or that or I mean also like I mean, we just did some shows We've been out we haven't toured done shows in a year and a half And there was a couple nights where I was like, wow, this is I'm a little out of condition here It's not the same as singing in your house as being with the band And so You know they recorded and to me it sounds Bruce Dickinson sounds phenomenal He's still one of the greatest of all time. He still sounds like he's got it. I wouldn't even question it Look at this. So here's a cool comment Jonathan says I heard an interview where he said they were making it during the pandemic at their home studio So there you go. It's maybe I'm a little not off there, right? Maybe you just didn't know the right settings, but then again Dude, we record in our home studio, but it's how you do it, right? It's how you do it, too Right, right, right and as Sydney says I love the new song by far. It has a very 80s feel to it It's cool. I would think it does have an 80s feel to it, you know a little more the tighter. It's tighter, you know It sounds like classic maiden the other first single that they put out did not sound like what I Think of when I think of iron maiden that intro kind of reminded me of something like kansas or It had a different sound with that intro and the way that it developed the song developed Whereas this right out of the gate Sounds like iron maiden Here's to everybody's point. Klaus is saying Yes, love the live room feel of it and I think Todd you are mentioning that totally, you know, it's got that sort of The live it's a live atmosphere to it, right? And that's what I love. I really like that Yeah, and somebody says air is saying you've been wearing that toddler torii shirt since the doro interview Take a shower man. He's saying those. You know what actually Exactly I go to sleep with it and you don't need to take a shower with this first of all It's soft like a bunny like I mentioned, right? And you don't need to take a shower once you put it on your your smell great throughout the day That needs to be your tagline though.  It's a good quality shirt and it's bulletproof too At least I think it is it looks cool. It looks good At least look how cool it is Look at that Yeah, it's a runner up to the metal voice shirt. That's for sure. I like your doro interview Yeah, you know, she was great. Oh, man I thought it was funny because when you said Todd sends as bad. She's like, yeah cool I'm thinking she doesn't know who I am And then she says to you finally Oh, you're like, yeah, I interviewed you. She's like, oh, okay.  All right. So what else on this out on the song? Sorry Uh, I think we talked about everything the keyboards. Nice. It was just enough keyboards, right? We're not getting rick wakeman here. We're not just you know, someone It's just a little bit in the background just to sort of emphasize and create that dynamic in the song Guys any other uh, anything's anything else you'd like to say about the song I I thought that the that the waving Banner flag was a cool I was yeah, I said to myself I wonder if they had a huge like backdrop with this artwork made on it And they just had fans like it looks so real. I'm thinking that I'm wondering if that's real or if that was computer done But I thought it was the same thing. I wondered the same thing who did that animation. It's amazing. Yeah, it looks really looks really good Um, I mean for me all of this I mean, it's great that we're sitting here to be in this and it just reminds me of I went to see Aaron Maiden in Belfast in 1995 With blaze Bailey singing and there was about 400 people there They couldn't even sell it out and for Maiden now to be and that's not a slur on blaze by the way But it just shows how far the bar band had come to bounce right back up And they're bigger now than they ever were and I think that's a fantastic thing I'll always give the rush analogy for all you rush fans out there You know, they started off as sort of this hard rock heavy metal band And then you started to get into this new wave progressive style And then it kind of went into another direction And the fans kept wanting them to go back to 2112 and moving pictures But they never did they go we're gonna do what we like and that's that the end And if you want to jump on you know and join us great if you don't well That's what we're doing and that's what they kept doing throughout their whole career And iron means the same they're gonna do whatever they want.  And after this many decades of a career Not churn out songs that all sound the same. That's really hard Without venturing into new territory. That's why I thought that that Section after the solo was like, oh, that was fresh.  It was more epic Strat what do you how do you think you pronounce strattagio strattagio? Is it italian pronunciation or is it a japanese strattagio or is it strattagio? Stratigo Yes, it's more of an american that's how I'm reading it. Stratigo, but maybe I'm wrong. I don't know I I am friends with the Steve Harris's sister. So maybe I'll I'll ask her. Hey, we need the pronunciation The correct pronunciation. I have Nico's cell phone number, but I don't ever call him I don't want to bother from give him a shout right now. Ask him what what he thinks Guys, what else is going on Todd? What's happening? Do you have a show tonight? I'm home. We did we were out for a week. I'm home until the 20 I fly out again the 27th to I think california And then home for two days then I'm gone for five days or whatever it is So I'm just doing stuff around the house and Hang it out. Yeah. All right. Okay That's about it guys. Yeah, I don't see if there's any other cool comments here Iron Maiden sticks to their guns. I think they write the music and they love to listen to and hope their fans catch the same vibe They're doing everything right and I got to say oh, here we go. Here's a pronunciation from estibal.  About war strategy Oh, oh Stratigio Like I would say Stratigo I would say Stratigo, but Stratigo. I don't know I'm what's all go even though.  I'm just making that up Here we go. Jody saying hi Todd. I miss you from our facebook, uh, you know messages and uh hard g Oh, it's a hard g so Stratigo Stratigo Parents giving us a six out of ten by the way six out of ten. He likes the first song better I would go the other way like Todd. I think I like the first song a lot But I think I like this one better because it's it just I don't know it just Is it memorable? No, because I can't remember the chorus. Could you sing the chorus right now, amen? No See see I've got the wall stuck in my hand. I've got writing on the wall stuck in my hand That was more of a catchy chorus. I want to google this name and see if it has the phonetic hold on Strug oh somebody's saying Michael saying I thought it was a it was in Spanish Oh Strat great board game I remember risk here. Okay ready board game Stratigo and I'm gonna play the audio here we go Stratigo Stratigo Stratigo Stratigo Stratigo Okay, all right that white have that Japanese samurai there. That's what I'm wondering All right guys, that's all right. Have an awesome day. Thanks for having me jump in Yeah, bye. I'll talk to you later bud. Ciao

Hi everybody and welcome to our session on re-platforming Victoria's Department of Health on the single digital presence So today we're going to cover The things that you're seeing on your screen there So we're going to look at some of our budget requirements the process Solutions and also the give-backs to the STP platform and also some key project takeaways First of all a little bit about your presenters today. So first of all we have Suchi Hi, my name is Suchi Gark. I'm a technical manager at Salsa digital and at the risk of exposing my village I've been working with Drupal. I've been working in open source technologies for the past 20 years And I have been working with Drupal since 2006 So that's 12 plus years experience with Drupal. I have been a developer at here a solutions architect mentor trainer pretty much everything then it comes to Drupal and And in this particular project my role was of a technical lead Thanks So my name is Philippa Martin. I'm a Salsa content strategist and also a project manager I've actually got 25 years plus experience also exposing my age in writing and editing fields and With definite online specialization even since the very early days I think I got my first role as official online content writer in 1999 I'm really excited to manage that In another life. I'm also a published author with a PhD in creative writing For this project I wasn't working as a content specialist. I was actually working as a project manager So first of all let's have a little bit of a look at the project context So the Department of Health is a very large Victorian government agency As part of their consolidation of lots of departmental websites They're chosen to move health.vic.gov.au to Victoria single digital presence For those of you who don't know I know some of you in the room know what SDP is because there are some people from the Victorian government here SDP is a whole of government digital platform that consists of three elements It has the first one is called Bay and Bay is the platform itself Then we have Tide which is a headless Drupal distribution and finally we have Ripple Which is a front-end library of components which is built in view and next In terms of some of the key challenges for this project the website was on site call It had a high cost of ownership. It was actually a very large site It had been built up over a number of years like a lot of government sites of course more content coming in And there was actually 80,000 content objects in total and that covers pages, documents and other components There's also a lot of features and functionalities and obviously during a migration project What often happened is both content and features are actually looked at in terms of what do we really need and what Can we actually get rid of? The team ourselves We're back We're quite a large team. So from the Victorian Department of Health, we had eight members in total project manager, product owner, a delivery lead, a designer, a developer And we also had three content creators on the team as well In terms of the CELSA team, we had the engagement manager, which was myself We had a business analyst, a solution architect, the technical lead, Sitchie A migration engineer, a back-end dev and also two front-end devs as well as an accessibility consultant Who is involved throughout the process and of course QA I'll pass to Sitchie for some process All right So we basically went through a step-by-step process We went through a series of discovery sessions And Sure, is this better? Okay, so we went through a series of discovery sessions and out of those discovery sessions They were we were able to identify the required features for the new site The next step was okay. This is a feature that we want But we had to map it both to the front end which was a ripple and to the back end Which is which is tied in single digital presence the sdp After that we were looking at the gas because there were so many features Which one there was no one-to-one mapping and we started discussing those features Some of them we sort of changed a bit to make sure that they map with the existing features But there were some which were absolutely needed and there was no feature within sdp Which which could map so we went ahead and create some created some custom features Then we set up and built a site including the custom features We did them so we did some migration about 17,000 pages were migrated 17,000 foot pages were identified that needed to come across and they were migrated across Of course, we had to have to migrate media elements. So around about 30,000 media elements had to be migrated We also went ahead and set up some pages manually So for example the home pages some of the landing pages etc We had to tweak them a bit and set them up manually And then we launched very easy, right? Okay So now a little bit more about the process So like all good projects we started off with some discovery workshops I probably need to make move this microphone up as I'm just a little bit taller and switching Um, so we started off with some discovery workshops and we're looking at documenting those as a feature matrix in google sheets so I think you can just move here and all right. Let's do that So this is this is actually the feature matrix that we created in google sheets As you can see we've got a legend here that looks at every single element Looks at it's got color coding for mvp nice to have phase two aspirational etc And it breaks down each element. So for example, the original header had a site switcher home link top navigation An extra net login etc. We went through every single sort of feature and functionality From everything from footer to header from top to bottom literally And on all the different pages as well and notated those so just to give you an idea though I'm just going to scroll through We don't make you see sick as I'm scrolling through you'll get an idea of how many different features there were Because we run out of letters of the alphabet And we kept going started getting bit creative with our symbols special characters. Yeah, special characters Okay So this is just a visual representation of that from there We then moved to Mapping ripple. So ripple, of course, if you remember was the front end component library So we had to look at those different features and how they would map into ripple to do that. We used figma So this is an example of A bit of a zoom out of the figma file As you can see we've actually also kept our letter a number of references. So you've got your a1 a2 etc We've used color coding again In this case the color coding is representing whether it needed to be a custom feature or whether there was something already existing In sdp that we could use To give you an idea of what's inside each of those boxes because obviously it's hard to see Uh, this is a simple example of video. So on the old website, that's what it was called the video On the health website the video feature and on sdp that mapped nicely to the embedded video feature All right Back to me So Yes, we did a lot of discovery sessions as an output of all the discovery sessions We basically got a total of over 110 features Which were identified as mvp mvp manoon who have a product but 110 features were mvp So those features were imported into jira as Ticket placeholders now remember for each of those features We actually had to create three tickets for feature because we had to have a backing ticket We had to have a front end slash ripple ticket and we had to have a migration ticket So that's exactly what we did. So three types of tickets And then back in and migration That means 600 plus jira tickets story starts Bugs, etc, etc. We also made sure that We we did a lot. We created a lot of manual test cases as well and all of them also create were also created in jira That means 1000 plus manual test cases So standard agent agent process was followed and With each sprint progressively we would look at the most important tickets slash features and we'll put them into the sprint And that's the whole process that was followed essentially That's again you So I just want to talk a little bit about The accessibility we did so I did mention that we had an accessibility consultant on the project from the start So we bought that person in really really early So for example, they were part of the design ticket So from the very start as the designer was working Tickets would be passed on to our accessibility consultant to make sure that they were Okay in terms of accessibility for color contrast, etc Then they're also part of all the front end jira tickets. So every front end jira ticket included an accessibility acceptance criteria So here's an example And you can see, you know, given I'm a website visitor when I visit any page on the website Then the footer is wcag 2.1 a compliant by I'd actually step out what those requirements meant From an accessibility point of view So this embedding accessibility early in really helped with ensuring that the website the final website was accessible So now it's on to some of our solutions So first off we had talking about some of the custom features Obviously, you know, like all good community contributors, we try and avoid custom where we can But there are times when we can't avoid custom features And so here's a list of some of our custom features that we implemented for this website Looking first at the home page We included health alerts and I'm going to show you these in a moment Some customized news cards that the client wanted and also we added in some social media cards Including pulling in the social media feed for their home page So I Just go to then If we look at the home page here, so these are the health alerts All right If we go to the home page here, these are the health alerts As you can see you can click on this to you're showing the latest one the most recent one But if you click on this it expands to show back a little bit further And you also have the ability to browse all the health alerts Scrolling down to the news pages So these were just slightly different to the normal sdp out of the box News that they wanted some customizations on and then we've also got the social media feed as well here coming in from Facebook, twitter, etc So those are the home page customizations If we look now at sidebar links, I'll hand over to sushi So yes, we keep on saying that we try to minimize customization But we did a lot of customization the next one we we wanted to talk about was the sidebar links so sdp by default does allow us to List out a component on the right hand side of the page where we can have links But there was a slight There was there was slight mismatch with the requirements So what we did was we went ahead and created a new company which was called sidebar links And as you can see in the in the screenshot, they are the right outside the red outline structure. That's what it has The way it was different with the standard ones was two things number one We could embed We can we could embed multiple sidebar links on the right hand side of a single page And we could change the background colors There were three specific colors that that a user could select So they could either have a gray background background. They could either have the A white background and the third option was the color palette of the of the site they are on So that was one customization and the second one was that with each in every link We could actually add a description as well because what I think we were offered was just links But what was needed was that with each link there were some links where we needed to add in Um descriptions so as you can see in the first and the third link there There are some descriptions that have been added Another quite major customer not I would not say major But quite useful customization was by before if you go to a city site The top navigation menu And the footer menu so the menu that we hit see here the topics about us, etc, etc They are actually set up set off of the same menu That means the top one is replicated in the footer But considering the fact that health.week site is so huge They wanted to offer the users a different way of navigating So they wanted these links to be separated out from the top Navigation so what we did was we basically went ahead and created a new menu item And a new menu and that menu was linked to the front end component here So that they could have different links showing up here as compared to showing up in the top navigation The next custom feature that we'll look at is content collections So these are basically List pages so you'd normally use views in Drupal However, because single digital presence is headless and uses elastic searched index data We needed to look at a different solution From discussions. We also knew that stp had some bigger plans for content collections Where they wanted to let content editors build these pages Which is again views are done by side administrators So to give you some of the examples we had quite a lot of content collections We did some A to Z of infectious diseases for example annual reports conviction register video audio We had lists of data pages lists of fact sheets List pages for media releases and news and in fact because we were developing the content collection as a listing page from scratch We ended up using that for the whole site search as well So i'm going to show you some of these pages now So this first one's the A to Z of infectious diseases As you can see there's also some front end theming in terms of adding in this literal abc And then we have the results are automatically displayed for all of the results They can be sorted as for items per page and in some of the other ones For example the videos you also have the ability to search by keyword We have other drop downs available as well. For example file type is available in some of them Again, this is another example of some of the front end theming with our little video icon And then the main search which is this one so that by default everything comes up. So well, that's a very even number there Sure, that'll be different tomorrow Just for us exactly 10 000 So yeah, you can enter by keyword or you can select a topic and then browse by topic Again with the ability to sort by relevance and also change the items per page And so in this way our content collections were actually built into the website from very tailored pages listing pages to the whole site search Back to the presentation let's be another thing Another custom feature was that what has that we wanted what was that within the same website? They also wanted a way to slightly change the color palette So and that could be used for campaigns, etc So I have put in a screenshot of three pages and all three have actually different subs So the sdp allows us to tag content with something called subsites But as of now sdp does not have a ability to actually color code them differently But what we did was in health topic that with each subsite that was created We could actually add a different color palette So if you look at the these three websites the health service partnership That is the core health topic palette that that has been added then the medication for patients There was a there is a subsite called go with 19 and that has a slightly different Different part and you can see that The h1 And the styling of h1 has changed and the styling of the right hand sidebar The right hand side menu item has changed and now recently they have added another color palette Another subsite called jobs in victoria And that has that orange palette. Unfortunately that orange really clashes with pink, but yeah, that's what they wanted So this is again Customization we went ahead and they did for them. What this have them is with is that They did not have to do custom development in case they needed a campaign They did not have to really go and create another site or create, you know, create another site and develop that From from scratch they could use the existing website and they were easily able to maintain campaigns Now I'll also talk about two pretty big custom features all of the ones that we have talked about as of now are very Smallish they had huge impact. Yes, but dev wise are Effort wise they would not that huge but I'll be talking about two one is the symmetry search Another one is water fluoridization And I'll just do a quick demo as well First one all right, so Tell that we wanted as the name suggests search symmetry. Yes But the content for the symmetry does not reside in Drupal They all this content actually resides on the data and what we had to do was that we had to create A front-end component which could talk to the data dot week get that content and show it We could also search so I can do something like let me just put something for something some server So we could do something like this and say radius of 10 kilometers it gave me a Perch reverse as a map we could also see a listing at the bottom So these are all the symmetries around and I could actually click And go to an individual symmetry page Now none of this content is actually inside it in Drupal. All of this is coming from the data week on the slide So in order to achieve that what we did was we create a created a front-end component In view js that's not as a player Which did all all the calling all the all the filtering searching etc etc And that view js was actually embedded within Drupal. So for that we created a very simple custom paragraph for Custom yeah uninspiringly the name of the paragraph is custom component We just went and created that and what it did what it just asked for one key And that he was basically something that would define in the front end So that would tell you like, okay I have to generate the custom component and use this key to figure out which custom component need to be added here So we did that and this is a pretty pretty powerful and very I used one in the in the similar way There is another one is my so that this data is called water fluidization Data, I think I'm correct, but this data is also not reciting in um Drupal it's also coming from apis and it has a similar kind of a thing So is that it is the is the water fluidization Fluoridated or not fluoridated that's what it shows and we can also insert and do several things with it Okay, going back to the presentation. I don't want to close it yeah Sorry, this is not my mouse. This was her windows machine I convinced her to use my windows instead of her mac Um, so yeah those ones we were just talking about was the cemetery search and the water fluoridization Uh, we also added quite a few new custom content types Uh, so some of them are here. So conviction records data page the health alert advisory Hospital circular and a record page. Did you want to say anything more about those? No, they're pretty straightforward. Yes Okay, and I will hand it over to you this one So as we had been saying that we are good citizens We try to Not we try to we were trying to restrict ourselves to the into the stp boundaries as much as possible But client requirements can't do much So we did create a lot of custom components as we just saw But the way the process was done that the stp team who's actually sitting here They were they were consulted right from the very beginning so Uh, we had involved them from the initial phases of the project and we would have regular meetings with them We would discuss the customizations. This meant that either the customizations Either it was decided that the customizations would be adopted slash adapted and would be added to sdps screen later or the we coded things in a way And anthony you can You can say no whenever you want to but that's what we try to do And we also coded things in a way that the upgrade path was not impacted a lot. In fact Sorry, how do I get this? Yeah So in fact that ever since the site was launched, we've already upgraded ripple. We have already upgraded Tied so we tried to manage things in a way that it was not impacted There was a minimal impact. All right. So next now start About migrations. So the next three slides actually can be an individual ripple sort presentation in itself They are complex but still I'll rush through them. Happy for you to come to me later on. We can discuss them out but That's what we have to do So before we start explaining the migration Explaining the process We need to talk about two main tools that we used in the whole migration the first one quant cdn or quant as we call it it's an All-in-one static web and jam and jam stack solution to generate a and serve a static representation of your existing website It is actually a bit more but for the context of this project We just used it to create a static representation of the legacy health.vic site The other tool that we should talk about is Merlin. So Merlin is an open source command line tool If I have to talk about it like short and sweet it crawls and scripts So it is basically a content migration helper tool that can be used to migrate content from any source content management system Into any target. So basically what Merlin does is it's crawls and scripts your website And emits the content of the website into nice json files and those json files can be easily then added used and absorbed by Drupal and my for migrations Now The next slide. Please don't be afraid I'll be talking about the steps and then I'll be showing you a diagram. Okay So as I said, yes migrations are a huge part of the project and we migrated a lot of pages It was not the number of the pages that was a problem 17 000 pages. Yeah, it's a bit huge, but not really We we have been part of projects where we migrate millions of pages The problem was the source of the migrations, which was the legacy cms So it did not emit content in a structured manner in a nice manner And that was a big problem. So what did we do? We extracted a list of URLs For the content that needed to be migrated. That's number one then We used want to take that list of URL and create a static static Copy of the website because we did not want our scraping tool to be hitting the production website We wanted the scraping tool to be hitting the static website instead We analyzed And collected and organized the source content into format formatted json files using Merlin This is just one line, but it actually involves a lot more Using Merlin what we did was we mapped each and every field that we needed to extract So h2 was for example h1 needs to be migrated as a title H2 needs to be migrated as summary etc etc etc And h1 and h2 are very very basic things But the moment we start going into accordions a contact us component at this component that component This thing started growing mammothly So we created config files for those mappings and then we ran it against Merlin CLI tool Which gave us pretty nice structure json which Drupal likes Then we created migrate API configs with those json files as source and migrated them into Drupal Now during this whole process because this was a huge website and because the content was that huge We made sure that we implemented a layer of validation throughout the process This is part one of the of the The diagram and let me just quickly walk through and we don't have a lot of time So I'll be very quick So I've just we just mentioned the steps export the URLs Create and then the URLs were also not very well Exported we created a drush script Which did a refinement of the other input csv? It gives us three outputs refine csv Merlin URL list and quant URL list Quant URL list went into quant we created a static site Merlin URL list we did the Merlin mapping we did the Merlin scraping It gave gave us the json's for a force redirects and duplicate content We also created a refined csv which was used in the next step For validation because refined csv made meant that we had a list of URLs that need to be Need to be migrated So what we we again created another drush script for validation and the output of that that drush script was a very Very very important csv that csv had all the URLs With their status was it migrated? Or or not was it a duplicate Was the redirect created because in within this process we also Also baked in the redirect process If it was migrated, what is the target one? What is the source URL? What is the target URL and that csv could be given to the client They had an excel file and then it made the qa for them very very easy because source Target map it it didn't work create a gta ticket if it worked great So this was the whole process that we followed And filibar So as we mentioned We were working closely with stp on those custom features and we were able to give a lot of them back into the core um So for example our give backs included the custom footer component that suit you mentioned where people are able to actually Customize exactly what how they want the footer to appear The content collections were actually taken over what we had done were taken over by stp Who have been progressing them further to make them into those? content editor experience We had also some contact dust enhancements, which were contributed back the side bar links that sushi talked about were contributed back Um, and also that embed our innovatively named custom component Was also delivered back. So that was also used for example for those social media cards We just did that in the back and the embed custom component And also the news content type was also contributed back These give backs were sponsored by celsa. So after the project finished we then worked on Well after the site went live And so the main part of the project was finished. We did hand over then to support But the give backs were sponsored by celsa. And so we continued to get those and distribute them back to stp Working them with the stp q 18 Key project takeaways very quickly in large projects It's can be difficult to allow enough time upfront to write and review and estimate all tickets before the build starts Building accessibility into the acceptance criteria earlier worked really well As we've said we had it from the design and also all the front end tickets Rather than doing as an afterthought once the website was built and then having to change things and fix things A strong product owner on the client side is essential I think everyone or the devs in this room and project managers will be going. Yes We also had the benefit of a dedicated and highly professional project manager So he was able to work Extensively on the project and really dedicate a lot of his time to managing the health team and working with us as well And that's it content migrations What sort of percentage of the whole project was that and was that a new methodology that you introduced? So the methodology that we introduced was absolutely new This was the first time we introduced this methodology and that has now been Actually, we have actually had four projects after this one where we had followed the same or similar slide with slide tweaks When you talk about the percentage So the initial So the ledge the the old website it was It was it had grown organically So if you look at so what I would the head thought we came gave us was a huge csv And with like a number of columns and then they said we have some business logic apply that business logic and then migrate That is why the first step was that we had a drug script which was visuals which did the requirement and those business logic was actually applied In to get the output. So when it comes to percentage, I would not be able to answer that because there was so much content there It was somewhere it was maybe published But it was duplicated etc etc. So it's very difficult to give me to give the percentage So part of that process was there a content lift process going on? And how did you handle that or was it just a one-for-one straight migration of there was no content left in what? There was a one-to-one migration And as all the content was extracted from the old site using the merlin scraping So we did not use the content in the in the old database and tried to go left. No Two quick questions. What search engine did you use? Elastic search elastic search and with the content collections in the views where people could see Are they used? No No And that is the best part about content collections actually so that gives the the ability to create pages like this Content creators can create both pages. It doesn't have to be a side build of purpose So we are not using views the content in the on the back end So back end in front end are two different things in sdp because it's a decouple thing in the back end We have a component called content content collections and within that we can easily add filters So filter can be a topic or this or that you know content type etc etc So as a content creator you can say for example, I need to create a news listing page So you can actually go and say let me create a content collection The filter will be that the type should be the content type should be news And I need to show that as a list not as a tile thing as an example Then I will expose the date as a filter So you put as a content creator you can do this and it automatically map up into a content collection page on the report thing So that's how strong it is I'll just add to that to clarify that We had done step one of that process Yes, but step two is done by the sdp team to take it to that level So we had done it using schemas that were put straight into the back end And then the sdp team took that and created the user interface for the content editors to make it the final process Whoa sdp team. Thank you You have a question here. Yes Yeah, we've got many pages. What did you do with sort of internal and external broken links? Yeah, so the question is with that many pages. How did we manage the internal external links? A few things actually so the migration Conflicts that we created and I'm going into a bit of a technical thing here For external links, we didn't have to do a do a lot, right? But whenever we are migrating so each content type on each source content type Let's put it like that We have two migrators to it the first one would be the base migrator And then we would have an annotate migrator The way it worked was first all the base migrators ran That means we already have stubs, etc Then the annotate will run it will look at the links try to map Okay, this is because we were also whenever we were migrating we were also saving in the Drupal three things the source URL the The source URL the source type etc etc three things so it will look at okay. This is the alias This is the old alias Let me look at the Migrated content and see what masks it to what is the new alias for it and that annotate actually changed that And this was done for media as well. So yes, it was Complex, but that's how we managed it. We also migrate. We also created a huge list of redirects So these were the two ways we managed


We can graph an equation by finding points, but is there something we can do that's a little bit more efficient? Well, let's take a closer look at that. While every equation corresponds to the graph of some curve, some equations are easier to use than others. So if I want to find the coordinates of points that satisfy this equation, I have to do a bit of work. On the other hand, if I want to find coordinates of a point to satisfy this equation, it's a lot easier. And so it's convenient if the equation is in a standard form. What's a standard form? Well, it's any form that we've defined as being convenient. And in this particular case, an equation in two variables is in standard form when it's in the form a times x plus b times y equals c for some real numbers a, b, and c. And so here the thing to notice is that all of our x and y terms are over on the left hand side and we have a number over on the right hand side. So let's try to put this equation in standard form. And again, the thing to notice is that standard form consists of having all of our variables on one side. So we'll write down our equation and we'll start moving our variables to one side. So I'll add eight y. I'll subtract seven x. And now I have my variables on the left and my constant on the right. And so this equation is now in standard form. Now we could say that ax plus by equals c is a first degree polynomial in x and in y. But we also have another name for it. We call it a linear equation. And that's because the graph of a linear equation is a straight line. Now before we continue we should point out something important. Fermat said that any equation in two variables corresponds to the graph of some curve. But this particular equation in two variables gives us a straight line. And what that means is that we have to consider a straight line to be a curve. Now a normal person doesn't typically regard a straight line as a curve, but mathematicians aren't normal people. The theorem that the graph of a linear equation is a straight line is a very important theorem for the following reasons. Since the graph will be a straight line, we can invoke an axiom of geometry. There is a unique straight line between two points. And this suggests the following approach to graphing this equation. First, we'll find two solutions x1, y1, x2, y2 to the linear equation. Since these correspond to points, we'll graph these points. And then because there is a unique straight line between the two points, we'll draw the line through the points. So just as a quick illustration, we already found three points on the graph of y equals 2x plus 7. Now, we might note that the equation y equals 2x plus 7 can be put into standard form. And so we know that the graph of y equals 2x plus 7 will be that of a straight line. Since it will be the graph of a straight line, we only need two of the points. So let's get rid of the one that involves fractions. So here's a useful thing to remember. The secret to graphing, graph first, then label. What do we mean by that? Well, let's start on our set of axes. Now, I have two points I want to graph. The first one is 0, 7. Now, you know this specifies a point that we get to by going to the right 0 units and then up 7 units. But what's important here is that we don't go to the right any distance at all and then we go up some distance. So rather than counting off our spaces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, we'll just start at the origin, then go up some distance and simply declare that that distance is the correct amount. How do we make that declaration? We label the point. Similarly, the second point, 5, 9, tells us we should start at the origin and count out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 units to the right and then go up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. But again, we can just start at the origin. Go out some distance and then up some distance. Now, while we don't have to make our distance as exact, we should at least make them consistent. So for this first point, we went up by 7 units. Because we're now supposed to be going up by 9 units, we should make sure that we go up a little bit farther. And again, we declare that this is the correct place by labeling it. And since we know that this is the graph of a straight line, we'll draw the line and, guess what? We'll label it. We'll put down the equation of the line.


Hello, my sweet apples and welcome back to another vlog.  I know I'm really indecisive and I change things up all the time I don't know why that is. I'm just very Fickle? I don't know So a couple things I wanted to share with you guys as promised in my last vlog in my classroom setup vlog my first one I'm going to share with you guys our district's return to learn plan. So I'm going to be teaching in the District near Queen Creek. I don't want to say the exact name of the school district, but the Queen Creek area I'm gonna be teaching there And we have they have created a return to learn plan Parents will be given an option to send their children to school in person or send them to a Virtual Academy that is a complete different entity than the in classroom option so in person would have teachers me Other teachers and then online would have their own set of teachers their own set of curriculum It's kind of its own entity So parents are given the option whether to return in person or virtual if they choose virtual each student who needs a Chromebook Will be given one the district is going to give them a Chromebook if they choose to go online Students who will work in person will also have their own assigned Chromebook in the classroom So they won't have to share with any other student school district purchased more devices So that every student can have a one-to-one device Because we want to try to keep paper use to a minimum just because that's just one more way to spread You know what? So the students who return to school will be coming to campus five days a week There will be limited recess. There will be grab-and-go breakfast and lunch Students will be doing recess with their own cohorts So every class will have its own designated recess time so that cohorts of students can be kept together There's going to be temperature checks hand-washing you guys know all of the things but they are Expecting students to come five days a week if students want to switch online. They can but they do have to finish out the quarter I believe where they are. I don't know exactly that detail It said that they needed to finish the quarter Which to me sounds like they have to finish whatever quarter they're in in the classroom and then they can switch I think it's all because of grading purposes because they are moving from one Institution to another So we were supposed to begin teaching on July 22nd in my district and we were going to be virtual for the first two days of school It was going to be the 22nd and 23rd and then the 27th students were going to come to campus Since then Governor Ducey has announced that he is going to postpone opening schools in person to August 17th Which is when most of Arizona schools begin they usually begin like the first week of August My district is a year on district So we have longer breaks in the middle which I'm so excited about because I'd rather have a shorter summer and longer breaks But as far as opening schools go, I don't really know yet So I begin trainings next week July 7th and that whole rest of the week And I'm assuming we're going to begin virtually so that we can keep our district calendar So that means that we will be virtual from July 22nd to August 17th Pending everything goes well and we can actually go back to school My fingers are crossed that we can actually go to school to work like teachers can go to their classrooms to work Because I'm so unmotivated at home I will do so much better if I'm in my own classroom like my office I can just do all my like science demonstrations there. I can do all my lessons there I think it would be so much more productive if teachers could return to their classrooms and work from there You know, obviously we have a little bit more discipline We can stay away from each other as long as we stay in our own classrooms I feel like it would be no problem. Oh fingers are crossed for that. Okay. I'm starting to ramble so as far as planning goes I have sort of taken a standstill on Planning like what I'm gonna teach and when because I don't know if we're gonna go back Virtually or if we're gonna just wait until August so I do have like the first four weeks of like what standard I'm teaching and all my learning targets for those Standards and so I'm gonna just wait there because if I teach online It's gonna look very different than if I teach in the classroom So I'm kind of waiting for that. So I am gonna show you guys what I'm using to plan So I might be switching from this view to a computer view or to an iPad view So my iPad planner I talked about this in my last video One of my last videos that I was shopping for a planner I did announce this on Instagram But I wanted to share it with you guys here on YouTube so that you guys can be inspired and if you like it You can go and grab it. So I use good notes on my iPad to plan And the planner that I chose was the boss babe planner and I will link it down here below What I like about it is that it has and I'm gonna begin my screen recording here on my iPad What I like about this planner is that it comes with predated planning so I can Go without having to write every single date down in the corner of every box And it just saves me a little bit of time I can just swipe to the page that I want and then I'm done It comes with a full month layout, which is what I'm showing you here on my iPad And of course you guys can see that I've already filled in some important days It comes with a week at a glance. So if you want to just write basic things Have a week at a glance you can do that and then it also comes with a daily layout So it is predated for every day and in every day's area. You have a morning routine space You have a top three. So those are like your priorities. You have a to-do list. You have a meal tracker and a workout tracker You also then have a spot for your schedules and appointments and then of course there's a wellness tracker down there too If you want to track your water intake or things like that. So every day of the week. There is a Daily layout and then and the last day on the Friday There's a week of thought so you can kind of reflect on your week And then there's like a brain dump for the next week and then again There's another week layout. This goes all the way into June 2021 and it's really cool at the end of the planner She also includes sticker pages and other really cool templates that you could use if you're a really rigorous planner I am not But these are so this page that I'm showing you right here is a shortcut to the different templates So there's personal planning health and wellness. There are blank pages There's life organization cleaning checklist home inventory. There's stickers. There's project planning goal setting and dream Planning so that's why I really like this planner. I really love the font I really love the stickers that she made. They're more like doodle stickers that you can put in there So this is gonna be where I plan all of my personal and professional Dates so if we have an assembly which we probably won't have we have a staff meeting if I have an IEP meeting if there's any type of event that I need to write down or a due date that I have from As a professional I will be writing all of this in this planner so that I can keep track of everything I like to color code like personal plans and pink and then school plans in blue that way really can see what's going on So that is the planner that I chose for my iPad That is going to be my regular life planner and then as far as lesson planning goes I am going to use plan book comm. I love plan book comm Because it has all of your standards already typed in put in there You just click and drag them into your lessons You can type everything up separated by block one block two block three and then you can just print them So if your principal is someone who likes you to submit your lesson plans You can always share them through plan book comm or you can always print them It's really nice because they have an app on the iPad so I can plan using my iPad if I'm just working from home You can access it on your phone your laptop and then like let's say your accent You can email them to your teammates to print for your substitute. So I really like plan book comm I'm gonna show you guys a short little video that shares plan books features. So let's do that right now Okay, so here I am on the regular home page of plan book comm You can see that everything is able to be customized So I've changed the colors of my blocks and what I'll probably do is if certain things are Scheduled for certain blocks. I will write them in my digital planner in the same color so that it all can coordinate But basically you are able to create different Classes and then within each class you can change the plans up So if you're gonna teach the same thing for all three blocks if your departmentalized like me You can just copy and paste all of your plans down in there But it's if you are doing something different for each block Let's say one block is more ahead than the others. You can of course change your plans Within each block you are able to click and drag in standards Mine are labeled in the homework section right now. I need to change that but normally this would be labeled standard But you can literally click and drag certain standards that you're using into this plan book comm Planning system so let's say I'm using now I have set mine to the Arizona state standards and then I also have access to the next-gen standards So let's just say I'm gonna use this one It will pull up all of my standards that I'm gonna use so we're gonna just pretend We're using this one we click check and then it will automatically put your standards in for you You can also of course write your learning targets You can talk about what homework assignments the kids are gonna do and then you can Type up the activity you're using so instead of writing this with a pencil or a pen in a planner You can just type it in and then of course if you need to make changes you can do that You can also share Copy and paste lessons with your teammates So if you guys are teaching all subjects and one of you wants to plan reading and one of you wants to plan You can just send the lessons that you've planned to your teammate and they can just paste them right there in their plan book So this is really cool. You can do start times end times. You can obviously Edit text things like that. You can also attach things So if you are sending a lesson plan to another teacher You can attach the items that you're using and they have access right away So that is why I love plan book. It's just right there at your fingertips If you want to move a lesson you just click it and shift it to the next day It will ask you of course if you want to override it and then you can move it So if you don't get to something because something came up You can just push it to the next day and then of course you can print your plans in different formats landscape portrait Day by day hour by hour week by week You can also see your month at a glance Of you on plan book comm as well and that is really helpful for planning ahead of time So that is why I love plan book comm and I've used it for the last four years So it's kind of something that I am used to I thought about doing an Aaron Condrom planner or a happy planner and I just couldn't bring myself to do it Because plan book is so simple and I've been using it so long So one more thing I wanted to talk with you guys about this video is already 13 minutes long But I think I'm doing pretty good. I can keep it to under 20. I'm winning Okay, so when I got to my classroom last week, you guys saw if you watched it I did discover that I do have a curriculum. It wasn't complete. I am missing one of the modules. I Think I'm missing module one, but I believe my district did purchase me or my school at least PhD science which is made by great minds and I did have time to kind of zoom through it and see some of the lessons And they are really cool. There isn't a ton of hands-on. It's mostly like Observations and watching Demonstrations, which is fine So I'll probably use this as much as I possibly can and then throw in my own twists and turns in there So I do have PhD science. I have the first I have modules two three and four and so I have student books and then I also have Teacher editions here. So I'm kind of looking through those but again I'm waiting to plan until I know where I'm teaching if I'm gonna be teaching from here from school or at school So and then something else that I purchased over the summer was science fusion So I didn't know if I was gonna have a curriculum coming in and so I wanted to find something that I could use It's kind of like a roadmap. And so I did purchase this textbook from Amazon. It's just a student textbook So inside it's all student led Or student, I guess this is what the kids would have not for the teacher. This is not teacher edition But I really like it. It's really cool. It has hands-on activities inside labs really colorful pictures And it also has an online Component which I don't have but it would probably be really easy to create lessons using this So I just figured this is just one more thing that I can have if I need ideas Because I've never been able to actually teach science the way it should be taught The last six years of my career. I've had 30 minutes or less to teach science and social studies So I've never really been able to teach it correctly It's always just kind of been, you know, informational texts and then trying to get those standards Met in like an ELA area with an extra 30 minutes So I'm really excited to have 90 minutes a day if we go in person I'll have 90 minutes a day to teach science and social studies So I'm planning on doing like a bi-weekly plan so week a would be science week B would be social studies I've mentioned that before And so hopefully that will be really helpful. Okay, so that is the end of this video I know that it was really chatty and I pushed a lot of information at you guys That's all I got for you today I hope you guys enjoyed this video Thank you so so much for watching if you're not following me on Instagram make sure you do so I do post lots of updates there as Well, and I will see you guys in the next one
