In 1957, the geopolitical landscape changed forever, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1. By today's standard, this primitive orbiting satellite is certainly nothing exciting, but in 1957, its impact was psychologically devastating. The launch of Sputnik made outer space the new high ground of the Cold War. The value of space exploration was now obvious. The space race was on. For more than 10 years, the space race thrilled and inspired people all around the world with new and more spectacular accomplishments. Then, on July 20, 1969, the whole world stopped to watch as the United States, with the crew of Apollo 11, left the first human footprints on the moon. The eagle had landed, and in one sense, the space race was over. Without the competition and fear generated by the Cold War, our reasons to explore space have changed, and our sense of purpose is much less clear. But the truth is, humans use space more now than ever before. Today, many benefits of space exploration, such as weather, communication, and navigation satellites, are routinely taken for granted. Spectacular feats go unnoticed, and the valuable products of orbital research are rarely associated with their origins. According to Earth applications of space exploration, save people in distress at sea, assess the condition of crops, guide us to remote locations around the globe, and allow us to communicate with each other over vast distances. Unfortunately, without a threat to spur us on, our sense of urgency to explore space has significantly diminished. But the future of space exploration still keeps us looking up, and the value and potential of our work in space is far greater today than ever before imagined. We need only consider the possibilities. I'm Joanne Irene Gabrinowitz, and I'm a professor of space studies here at the University of North Dakota, and tonight we are here to discuss what the possibilities of space are. Joining me here tonight in Clifford Hall Auditorium are a number of North Dakotans and three North Dakotans in particular who have chosen to share their views with us on this subject tonight. To my left is Lani Falati, a farmer from Matic and President of Agra Images, Dr. Linda Gournault, a physician from Newtown, and Rick Heave, former astronaut and native of Jamestown. Six North Dakota towns, Grand Forks, Hazen, Jamestown, Minot, Mott, and Newtown will all be participating in this community conversation. Tonight's topics are going to be the economic, cultural, and scientific value of space exploration. Space has always been very interesting to me, and ever since I first saw them first moonwalk I've always wanted to be an astronaut like Rick, but I guess I never will be. But the next closest thing is to be able to see things from space. We developed a new company called Agra Images that is taking the satellite technology and bringing it into agriculture in a form that is usable for the average farmer. We're able to analyze the patterns within a field and be able to take them and put them into a variable rate application spreader and analyze the vegetation and change the fertilizer on the go. We're able to revolutionize agriculture in a form that we never knew would ever happen. We're all part of this life, and we're also related to all man, all mankind and womankind on the earth. And in a way it's like, yeah, I could understand that, you know, that we're related and sometimes some people don't see that, but I think once you get up into space and you look back down onto the earth, you realize that you belong, that's home and all the people there are family. Tonight I'm going to talk mostly about the third of my space shuttle flights. In a lot of ways it's the least, it was certainly the least glamorous space shuttle mission that I was part of because it was a space lab mission. Although my other missions were certainly visually more exciting, I can pretty well guarantee that when you or I on down the road 10 years from now, 15 years from now, the things that will affect your life in ways that you don't even know about, most of those discoveries will have been made in laboratories like this. Just as an example, one of the 80 experiments we flew, we had a furnace in which we had a bunch of different samples that could be injected into the furnace held in place with magnetic fields so they wouldn't go floating off and get about. And then another magnetic field or electric field was applied to melt those samples. Well, the big deal about that was that this particular metal, they believe that if they can get this special structure would be slipperier than Teflon and yet a metal. Well, I think anybody in here can immediately draw some rapid conclusions. If you could produce this commercially, every motor in the world within a decade would have to take this stuff into account. Well, now we'd like to invite all of you in all of the towns all over North Dakota to participate in this and use our comments as a springboard. I'm Solomon Mandel, a farmer 40 miles from Grand Forks and I just want to thank all the explorers for everything that they've done for our farming. We run center pivot irrigation, the resolver that tells me what degree my irrigator is, is a direct descendant from NASA. The computer that feeds my chickens that instead of running 108 motors, you run 10 motors, 10 minutes at a time, you're still feeding the 60,000 chickens without causing a brownout in Grand Forks. The energy savings that we've seen already, the water savings that we've seen with irrigation, we've cut our water use in half. This imaging, I can see where we'd be able to cut it, another 70 to 80% in the next four or five years, so the technology is there already. Engineer came up to visit his brother-in-law in Nebraska in the summer. And his brother-in-law said, let's go out there cornfield and check the irrigators. They went out and he said, my mechanical water meters broke down. And the engineer said, that's nothing. Everything we do at NASA, we check the flow. He said, I'll send you one of them. It's a magnetic thing that runs and there are no moving parts. And today, all our water meters are direct descended from NASA. And the potential is so great, it's just incredible. At this time in Southwest North Dakota, there's an emerging strategy for small town economic development that involves identifying relocatable companies, buying them, moving their operations to small towns in North Dakota. And in this area, our preference would be to buy a small, high-tech, space-related type company or manufacturing company. Can you UND space or NASA help in the following area? Identify companies for sale that can be relocated, provide technical expertise to assist relocating, help evaluate a relocation candidate's products or services. And as an alternative, can you suggest ideas for startups derived from some spin-offs in the aerospace industry? Really, NASA probably can't do that for you because from an economic point of view, there's no way you could argue that that's part of NASA's charter, but it seems to be clearly part of what your state delegation, your congressional bodies, that is part of what they should be doing. I've always lived in Maddox, North Dakota, a small town of 600 people. And when I really located the company there, they asked me, local people, why do you want to be here in Maddox? I said, why not? I said, we're connected everywhere. I can hook on to the internet and be anywhere in the world. Probably the most dramatic thing that space technology is doing right now is enabling people to engage in commercial activities that, at least for the last few hundred years, have primarily been aggregated in large urban areas. I mean, you can operate a business out of your home no matter where it is now. You have modem facts, communications, pagers, whatever you need. Dr. Gornel, how do you think we might encourage not only cultural diversity but discussion of cultural questions, as you alluded to, to be a part of future space exploration and the space program in general? And what is the value of including such questions and diversity? I don't know, I've heard somewhere before that for every action, there's a reaction. And that's going to happen with whatever they're doing in space. And I think it's so important to consider all the cultures of the world because we're all in this together. But I think everyone should be allowed to have a voice to contribute to what's happening to them because it's their future and their children's future. I feel that to some extent the planetary research programs in NASA have been sacrificed to keep the space station afloat and it strikes me that the planetary probes were very cost effective. As you know, the voyagers were reprogrammed to do things for which they were not really designed to do. And it bothers me that that money is being sucked up by the space station for a number of reasons. And first let me state, I would like to see man on the moon and go to Mars. My wife and I would be the first to volunteer. I've taped most of Rick's missions and I very much see man going into space. I'm just not going to think that the space station is really the way to do it. Certainly I agree that the space station has an enormous amount of politics involved. But then again, based on my observation of political system is that cancelling space station would not of itself guarantee you the planetary probes. That money would not be dedicated. Congress would not say we're going to take out this $2 billion a year or whatever and we're going to spend that $2 billion on the space program. They'd take the $2 billion away and probably wouldn't put anything in its place. Linda, do you have any final comments you'd like to share? Yes, I would say consider this. A lot of my relatives, I guess culturally Native Americans, a lot of our legends have star stories or stories about the space. There's also some tribes down in the Southwest who have these cave drawings. They were aware of all the interplanetary happenings in space long time ago, way before we were even aware at this point now. And there's even stories about different worlds. Like I said before, I never was going to be able to be an astronaut like Rick. But boy, I can see a lot of things just as he did and a little different perspective. But I feel like I'm up there right now. So go with your dreams and let's move this technology to the next level. I'd like to invite you all to join us here again tomorrow night when we continue this community conversation about what is the value of space exploration. And welcome to the second half of a symposium titled, What is the Value of Space Exploration of Prairie Symposium? We're glad to have you with us tonight and hope that we're going to have as much fun and as much information as we did last night. Joining me here in Clifford Hall Auditorium this evening are part of local North Dakotan communities. And along with us will be Tim Fote, editor and reporter of the Grand Forks Herald, Vivian Myers, a teacher from Bismarck, North Dakota, and Father William Sherman, a sociologist and pastor of St. Michael's Catholic Church here in Grand Forks. Tonight's topics will be the political value of space exploration, the educational value of space exploration, and the sociological value of space exploration. The question at hand is what is the political value of space exploration? And I must confess that I'm going to throw a lot of cold water on things tonight, I think the evidence at hand suggests that there isn't much political value to space exploration. But that's not to suggest that there couldn't be. And I think that what I'd like to do is take a couple minutes to think about the circumstances under which there could be. One thing that might happen is that there might be a resurgence of economic nationalism. Another set of circumstances might be a resurgence of redistributive economics. Space might be considered a sort of grand public work that would employ people. And finally, grimly, there might be a resurgence of political interest in space as a result of military threats. But I don't think that over the long run, those of us who believe that space is a noble thing and that we ought to be going further and we ought to be going, period. I don't think that in the long run, we're going to be satisfied with these circumstances. Space education and exploration is a perfect avenue for the students of the 90s, for they have before them a world of unknowns. There are unpredictable hazards and occupations yet to be discovered. These kids have to be equipped with higher level thinking skills, more so than ever before. Space exploration is a unique opportunity for this avenue of learning. Think for a minute, students trying to project into the future, trying to visualize what it would be like to live in space, to create a space camp, or to solve problems of garbage in space. These are the kinds of questions that we go through when we go through units of space exploration. Kids are turned on about these ideas and they are futuristic in their thinking. Maybe that's what space can do, is remind us, people who sort of fall into easy habits, that God is beyond us. God is the God of the universe. We see the pictures of the earth floating around as sort of a little part of a vast universe. Maybe that's why the good Lord, looking at it from a perspective of faith, brought aerospace into our world. The reminders of that other dimension of God, God, isn't something to be discarded, to be set aside, to be ignored, the power and the majesty of it all. And some of you remember that in the Holy Scripture it says something like this, the fear of God, the awesomeness of God, the awe before the presence of God is the beginning of wisdom. If you were the director of NASA, what would your priorities and future for NASA, what would that be? I'd say that the strategy ought to be survival. I think that the tactics ought to be to get rid of as many missions that involve exploitation, consolidation and filling in what's left behind and try to find a single mission that could have a fairly broad constituency economically and that could be as inspiring as possible. I think I'd do the public relations job. I don't know how it is. Maybe enlist the Hollywood and get them on their side. They seem to have a spokesman for everything out there and just dramatize it. I think they do a good job, maybe even a great job, but one of the things that I would change would be to advertise themselves more and maybe what the father here was talking about to enlist Hollywood isn't such a bad idea. It seems as though whatever the media presses, we get. A question for the entire panel, I'd like to ask them their opinion about the potential for access to space by ordinary citizens and depending on what your opinion is, how does that reflect on the value of space exploration as perceived by the general populace? It just seems that the cost would be so great that it's hard to imagine that in my lifetime people of my generation will get to fly in great numbers. So I think that you'd have to look elsewhere to find the value in space exploration other than you're not going to get it from the kick of flying. Somehow if we could capture the imagination of the nation with spectacular things, maybe what Tim was talking about, fix on something that has all sorts of ramifications, and we'll go along and we'll support it. I have a question for Vivian. Should there be a teacher in space, especially after the challenger problem and Christa was on board? Yes, I do. I think that if there is someone that wants, is willing, is prepared as much as anyone else out there that would have to go through all the preparation that it would take if they feel that they would like to and that it would be advantageous to both sectors of society, I think that they should. Tim, do you think the news media has a responsibility associated with selling space to the masses? I think a lot more newspapers and journalists ought to be eager about space and there ought to be more information about space. But I'm not sure that I'd assign the press a responsibility. Well, our concept of God change at all when we get in outer space and we're not down here on Mother Earth anymore and we look to the universe. Is our idea of God going to be any different?  You know, the whole business of race and of national conflict and so it becomes so petty when we see what a one world it is. That's one aspect. It tells us something about men and women. But the other I'm convinced is it tells us something about the divine. My experience with this has been an affirmation of why I have become a space professional. I think my gut, my instinct, my intuition tells me that the value of space and space exploration is its ability to connect and its ability to bring us together. And there is nothing, I think, more dramatic than the last two nights that proves that. Here we are spread around an entire state and it's space technology that has brought us together over time and distance. This is two time zones and an entire state and yet it's one experience and I want to thank you all and I hope we get to do it again. So thank you and good night.


What's up everybody, once again it's Brandon Shawn and we got to talk about Lil Wayne's Mona Lisa, the crazy true stories behind it and not to mention the Kendrick Lamar effect that took it to a whole other level. Now somehow you haven't heard that song, get up out under that rock that you've been sleeping under. It's on Lil Wayne's Carter V, a very much so standout track on it. What's the first story that really makes that song even more interesting is Superhead. Like Wayne will call the house at 3-4 o'clock in the morning and I will answer and if he says I'm at the skate park or I'm here I will get up and I will go. That's what's going to happen and you've got to be okay with that and it has happened. So basically you'd be in bed with your husband, Wayne would call in the middle of the night and you would go see Wayne. Yes and I'd be gone for days. You'd be gone for days. Absolutely. That seems pretty obvious now but a lot of people didn't make that connection even though that interview itself was pretty viral in itself at God when Mitchell was the first person to really make a tweet. He said he had to re-watch that interview after listening to Mona Lisa in a tweet when viral putting a lot of people on notice. This plays huge into the Kendrick Lamar effect and how he helps songs go viral after their initial shelf life but I'll get into that after the second thing about Mona Lisa that's a true story but it's just a little odd. A random rich guy that pretty much inserted himself into hip hop for a couple of years named Martin Screlly actually purchased the Carter five and played it on the internet. Not full songs but he did play snippets. Mona Lisa was one of those songs. He even said that it was going to be a two disc project so you can't necessarily even say that little Wayne just put so many songs on it because it took this long. And this just clarifies yet again that that song had been done some time ago because not only did he play this in 2017 when he uploaded that video, Infamous, one of the producers who actually worked on the project particularly he worked on Mona Lisa actually revealed in a DJ booth interview that when they recorded the song and when Kendrick got his verse on it was a to pimp a butterfly Kendrick. So that's probably at least 2015 and he said that eventually he was probably going to leak that song because he just felt like it was way too good for the culture not to have for that amount of time. So speaking of to Pimp a Butterfly Kendrick let's roll back into the Kendrick Lamar effect. One of the gifts that Kendrick Lamar has is the fact that he's primed his audience to really dissect his lyrics and look for stories even deeper than most audiences do for artists at this level. And when this happens you get this huge word of mouth effect you get the initial push of a project you get the initial push of a song but then after that people start to listen and then it starts to market itself because people keep talking about it. They're trying to figure out the mystery. They're wondering what's the story behind the story. When Vlad did that Karen Stephens or Superhead interview whatever you want to call her it was 2015 which once again lends to that verse being done at that time. So he actually played on the story that was popular at the time. He talked about it in a way that of course left some mystery. Karen Stephens not only mentions that Lil Wayne has a distinct ringtone in her phone. She said she had one of his songs as her ringtone. But moving on to other examples if you look at the Kendrick Lamar single with the heart part four when he dropped that at one point in the verse he said hey when I drop my album it's gonna be wild.  He let people know that he had an album coming. He sparked the conversation. You were already ready and just happy to hear Kendrick music but then he dropped some jewels some gems in there and not those kind of gems where you're like yo that's deep. He drops gems like golden nuggets for you to collect and makes you want to look for more head and treasure. Not to mention that that project was damn and think about all of the things that went on along with damn. People thought it was two album and then people said you could play it forwards and backwards. That was technically the two album so another one's not coming out. And then you can look at Duckworth on that project which actually alluded to a true story between the confrontation of top dog and his dad and if that confrontation went another way Kendrick Lamar might not even be here let alone be here working with the guy that almost possibly could have taken his dad out. There's always these hidden treasures to keep the energy going around his music and he plays with it and the fans love it and it creates this entire energy. What works is if it's another marketing campaign there's not any other artist on that level that has that effect. There's definitely some underground artists who have some small fan bases that do that and if you can continue to do that in your music as you grow it'd be dope to see more artists that have that kind of relationship with their fans and the media always keeping people guessing. But I want to know what you guys think as always. What are some other artists that do stuff like that that you like? What do you think about these true stories behind Lil Wayne's Mona Lisa? And of course as always if you like this video go ahead and hit that like button if you like it and might as well share it and if you're not subscribed you know what to do hit that subscribe button.


J-E-L-L! Oh! The Jello Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The Orchestra opens a program with Mr. and Mrs. America. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! You know, one of our grandest American institutions is the Good Old Time Parade. And starting next Thursday, April 6th, the Parade of Progress will go marching along all over this country. It's sponsored by the associated grocery manufacturers of America, and Jello is proud to join. Because Jello's whole existence has been a parade of progress for the 40-odd years it's been on the market. And through the years, there have been constant new developments and improvements. Jello's delicious flavor has been made extra rich, and the new flavors have been introduced. Jello is quicker and easier to make nowadays, but it dissolves instantly in hot water and sets far more quickly. And with all the improvements, Jello costs less. Today you pay half as much for it as you would have 20 years ago. Yes, without boasting, we can truthfully say that Jello has kept right on the bandwagon in the great parade of progress. So Jello salutes the grosses of America and is proud to march along with them. Before our float in the big parade, we suggest a box with the big red letters on it that spell Jello. This is America played by the orchestra. Now, folks, due to last Wednesday night, Clark Gable and Carol Lombard elope to Kingman, Arizona and were married. Hello tonight, ladies and gentlemen. We bring you the man who held the ladder, Jack Benny. Yes, sir. Jello again. This is Cupid's assistant talking. And, Don, I don't know where you got that information about my helping Clark and Carol. But you're right, and I was never so embarrassed in my life. There I was holding the ladder all dressed up in a tuxedo, like a big goof. Tuxedo, what was the big idea? Well, it's very silly, really. You see, Carol called up and asked me to hurry over because she was going to run away and get married. Yes. Well, I got so, darling, excited. I thought she meant to me. God, I thought Gable there. I almost fainted.  Well, it was. But they were awfully nice about it, though. They let me keep the ladder. I'm going to grow ivy on it, you know? Well, Jack, now, what in the world made you think that Miss Lombard would elope with you anyway? Oh, I don't know, Don. She's always so nice when we meet on the street. Then, one time, during a dust storm, she winked at me. So what was I to think? Oh, I'm too bad, Jack, but you shouldn't jump at conclusions like that. I'll say I shouldn't. On the way over to her house, I tore up all my old phone numbers. Now, if I want a date, I'll have to join the Lonesome Club. But as I said before, Don, they were awfully sweet. You know, they even wanted me to go along with them and... Pardon me. Hello? Is this the benefit of Rochester? It is, eh? Are you still mad at me, boy? Yes, Rochester. I'm not talking to you. Goodbye. Hmm. Can't get around me that easy. Now, what's the trouble, Jack? It's a personal matter, Don. I'd rather not discuss it. What were we talking about? Oh, you said something about Clark and Farrell wanting you to go along with them. Oh, yes. They needed a best man at their wedding, but I couldn't make it. You see, I'm pretty busy right now. I started making my new picture at Paramount. Paramount? Well, that's where you made your last one. I know, Don. I was surprised. This is going to be my first legitimate picture. It's called Man About Town. Oh, it's a very clever title. Who's directing it? A fellow by the name of Sandwich, Mark Sandwich. And I'm having a lot of trouble with that guy, too. Jack, you're always having trouble with your directors. What's wrong this time? There's plenty wrong. You see, Don Sandwich directed most of the Astaire Rogers pictures, and he can't get away from that Fred Astaire treatment. It's too much for me. Now, what do you mean? Well, he has me jumping over furniture all the time. Hey, I'm so tired at night I can hardly rinse out my socks. No kidding. Oh, but I can't imagine that director. Why don't you do the work like Fred Astaire? It must be quite sprenuous. You said it. Why, yesterday, we shot a scene where I enter an English drawing room to talk to Edward Arno so he plays a part of Lord Arlington. I see. Well, anyway, instead of just walking up to him and saying hello, Sandwich made me leap over two dye vans, a love seat, and the duchess have crippled up. My goodness. Did you clear everything? All but the duchess. Every time I tried it, I wound up piggyback.  Oh, hello, Mary. Hello, Leaping Lena. How are you? There you are, Don. You see, Mary's been over at the studio. She knows. No kidding, Mary. Does Jack really have to do all that jumping? Does he? He's got a kangaroo for a sandman. Now, Mary, he's not a real one. That happens to be the man's name, Barney Kangaroo. Well, he's got an awful big pocket. You're just being silly. But you know, Don, there's one thing about this picture that's me. I think it'll see how agile I am. Why leap over that furniture just like Fred Astaire? Who couldn't with bed springs on their shoes? Well, I had to have some help. And those springs worked out fine. You'll get the Academy Award from the Mercy Bed Company. Oh, I will. Well, let me tell you something, Don. If I don't break a leg, I think this is going to be my best picture. Oh, I'm glad to hear it, Jack. Who's going to be in it beside yourself? Well, there's Dorothy Lamour, Edward Arnold, Benny Barnes, E.E. Clyde, 500 extras, and Phil Harris. By the way, where is Phil? Oh, he'll be here in a little while. No kidding, Jack. Is Phil really going to be in your picture? Yes. I got him a small part. He also hangs up my clothes and sees that they're pressed, you know. That'll keep him busy. Those big love scenes with Dorothy Lamour will keep him busy, too. Listen, Mary, Phil may hold Dorothy in his arms, but her heart belongs to Benny. Don't worry about me. Say, Mary, how is Phil in the picture? Is he a good actor? I think he's going to be great in it. Great. What a show-off. Somebody told him he had beautiful hips and he keeps backing into the camera. He looks like a crawfish with a Marcel. Now, let's forget the picture. Oh, hello, Kenny. Hi, Jack. Say, your shirt tail's sticking out. It is. Where? April Fool! Why did you fall for that one? Kenny, in the first place, yesterday was April Fool's Day, and in the second place, you didn't fool me because my shirt tail is out. Is that your shirt? I thought it was a Chinese newspaper. Well, it has been to the laundry a lot.  I'll say. See, I sure pulled a good April Fool gang of my girls. She falls for anything. What'd you do, Kenny? Well, I called her up and I said, uh, this is Robert Taylor speaking. Will you marry me? That's cute. What'd your girl say? She said, yes. Just as soon as I get rid of that clock I'm going with. Well, you certainly fooled her all right.  I sent him a bomb. Yee-hoo! You sent him a bomb? Did he get it? Oh, I think so. I can't find him. Why, Kenny, you're just making that up because I saw Mervyn Leroy on the street this afternoon. All of them? Yes, all of them. Now, let's forget about April Fool's Day because it's over and done with. How about singing your song? Okay, I'm ready. Hold on a minute, Kenny. Come in. Telegram for Jack Benny. Take it, Mary. Here you are, boy. Here's a tip for you. A tip? Yes. Hi-ho, nickel! That's right, guy. Don't believe him, folks. It was a quarter. Must be cheap material. It shrunk. Never mind that. Who's the wire from? Oh, look, Jack. It's from Fred Allen. Oh, that Mongolian? What's he got to say? Uh, dear screwball. Hmm. Understand you are starting a new picture called Man About Town. If you're the man, get out of town before it's released, my dear. Oh, he would have to put his two cents in. That's a hot one. Sing your song, Kenny. I'll put you back in the trunk. Well, Allen's going too far. It wasn't on the island of Capri. It wasn't on the big, the darker king. Nor at a perfume counter in Paris that we met. Ah, something in the air was continental. There were moonbeams for a beam of sun. I was feeling young and sentimental.  Gallantly I handed you the mustard. Then you curtsied, I kissed your hand. Inwardly my heart was getting flustered.  The bubbles in our soda pop just hit us like champagne. I guess that we had five or six. Somewhere in the distance came a beanie-free frame. All of my fancy plain trim. Then in there, the spark of love ignited. It was real and a feeling was grand. Oh, a wedding backfist if you're invited.  There were moonbeams for a beam of sun.  Gallantly I handed you the mustard. Then you curtsied, I kissed your hand.  The bubbles in our soda pop just hit us like champagne. I guess that we had five or six. Somewhere in the distance came a beanie-free frame. All of my fancy plain trim. Then in there, the spark of love ignited. It was real and a feeling was grand. Oh, a wedding backfist if you're invited.  There was a little old hot dog stand sung by Kenny Baker. And very good Kenny, I enjoyed it immensely. You're not the only one, sweetheart. Modest little devil. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a rare treat in store for you. Mr. Don Wilson, that eminent American author, has written another. I can't get over that wire from Alan. You know, Don, that guy's got a lot of nerve taking up my time with those cheek gags he is. I agree with you, Jack. Did you hear him Wednesday night? Yes, him and that Maxwell Stroud stuff. He's about as clever as simple Simon. Well, I think it's marvelous the way Fred makes up his gags as he goes along. Oh, you do, eh? Yes, he certainly knows how to ad-lib. Ad-lib? Sure he ad-libs. He has to. He can't read a script.  I happen to know. Well, Jack, if Alan can't read, how does he order food from a menu in a restaurant? He goes to a cafeteria where he can point. He took up juggling just so he wouldn't drop a tray. Anyway, getting back to our program, Mr. Don Wilson, that eminent American author, has written another. Pardon me. Hello? Hello, Mr. Van. This is me again. Rochester Van Jones, I'm not talking to you. You mean I'm still on the blacklist? Certainly. Goodbye. What's the matter with you and Rochester, Jack? Oh, it's nothing, Don. Forget it. I know. Quiet. Where were we, Don? Well, you started to tell the folks about my play. Oh, yes. And now, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Don Wilson, that eminent American author, has written another of his famous short playlists, which are bringing him nearer and nearer to the Pulitzer Prize. Take it, Wilson. The scene is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Luke Miller, who live in a cabin just part of the Mojave Desert. They are just finishing their evening meal. Music, please. Well, Ted, I thought our dinner tonight was excellent, especially that tempting and delicious jello. You're right, Luke. It was worth going 50 miles to the nearest pulitzer to get it. I'll say it was. Hmm, who can that be? We haven't had a visitor in this forsaken spot in over three years. Luke, I told you we should have built this out of camp on a highway. Oh, they'll put a road through here one of these days. Come in. Oh, I'm starving. Look, look, Luke. It's a man. Yes, yes. Yes, it is. Let's carry him over to this chair. Where am I? Take it easy, young fellow. What seems to be the trouble? I'm a prospector, and for three weeks now I've been lost in the desert without food or drink. I'm starving, I tell you. Starving, starving! Be calm, my boy. We'll take care of you. Yes, I'll fix you a nice hot dish of beef stew. No, thank you. I'm a vegetarian. Oh, and how about a nice cucumber salad? Sorry, old man. I like cucumbers, but they don't like me. Hmm. Oh, I'm so weak. I'm starving, I tell you. Starving, starving! Be patient. We'll take care of something strange, eh? Say, would you like a piece of homemade chocolate cake? With nuts in it? Yes. Pecans or walnuts? Walnuts. No, thank you. Well, good heavens, man. You've got to eat something. Isn't there anything you'd like? Yes. Have you any jello? Jello. I'm sorry, old man. We have some, but we ate every bit of it. But I'm going to make it again tomorrow. Okay. I'll be back. So long. So long, stranger. I'm starving, I tell you. Starving, starving!  That little drama, folks, was written by our own Don Wilson.  Of all your plays, that's the best one, yes. Well, don't give me all the credit, Jack. That was a true story. I believe you.  Hey, Jack, look who just came in. Oh, yes, our new movie star.  I am a bit tardy, but by the time I selected my wardrobe and had my bar, time just fizzled away. Well, I can amortize you. Listen, Phil, because you're in the movies now, there's no excuse for being late. Well, I was home studying my part. I've got a big day before the camera tomorrow. Oh, you have. Hey, Phil, can I have your autograph? Later, son.  I want to tell you something, Phil. I saw a screen test. Phil, I saw a screen test. Phil, I saw a screen test of you the other day, and believe me, it broke my heart. Was it that good? I'm talking to Phil. And another thing, Phil, while you're working in my picture, I don't want you to go around giving all the girls at Paramount your phone number. My phone number? Yes, phone number. I saw you with that blonde in front of the commissary the other day. Now, wait a minute, Jack. She just asked me what time it was when I told her. Well, she must have a poor memory. She wrote it down. I can't see how you ever gotten to a swab-sophisticated picture like this one. You should talk. You used to be a comedian in a burlesque show, sliding Sam Benny.  Mary, have I ever been in a burlesque show? Only as a customer. There you are. Now, Jack, go in there once to get my father. He's nearsighted and thought it was grand opera. Who was he waiting in the alley for, Gallicurgy? I didn't inquire. And now, Phil, if you can forget you're a movie star for a couple of minutes, how about a band number? OK, Jackson.  Pop, I'll be home with a bun. Now, Phil, stop with those epigrams. Now, what are you going to play? All right. Mary and I have been rehearsing that new song. I go for that. We're going to sing it to each other. Oh, well, that's a novelty. Say, Mary, you're going to sing with Phil, eh? Uh-huh. That ought to be cute. Well, it's better not become a habit. Penny, don't be so jealous. You're not the only singer in the world. Well, I'm the object of my affection. Never mind that.  Let's hear what you've cooked up. OK. Hold it a minute. Come in. Mr. Benny? Yes. Is your real name Maxwell Stroud? No, it isn't. I'm not Maxwell Stroud. Don't lie to me, Daddy. Come right home. Get out of here.  I wonder if I could catch him on fly paper. The way you walk that silly talk, I'd go for that. You're dizzy post your carnage jokes, I'd go for that.  But you love that stuff. I guess you don't get around enough. Your crazy poems, your letters from home, I'd go for that. And for the more I just adore your kinky hair, that puffy stare. To Mr. Cupid, I'd take off my hat. You can't account for a silly place of all the girls you could have chased. I looked at you and knew I'd go for that. You know, Mary, we'll have a home, a private phone. I'd go for that. Yeah, not only that. You'll have a ring, a pretty thing. I'd go for that. But you tell me, Mrs. so caught off that stuff. You mean the going will be rough? I guess you just don't make enough. But Jell-O's fine, and I'm in line to get more dough. I heard that crack, you'll get the sack, you corny Joe from the wheelchair ball. Now Mr. Benny, you take that right back. Now look at boys, you mustn't fight.  You'd better not, because do I go for that? Now as I go for that, I play by the orchestra with a special vocal chorus by Jeanette McLivingston and Nelson Harris. The Nightingale's of the Jell-O program. If you want a real old Aunt A. Kenny, I don't recall anybody asking you. Now keep still. More darned singers on this program. Don't be surprised if I'm not here next Sunday. You'll be here next Sunday and like it. I'll be here, but I won't sing. You'll sing too. Now drop it. And now folks, I won't sing good. And you'll sing good. Not very. And now folks, going from juvenile temperament to our feature attraction. Tonight, we are going to present, pardon me, if that's Rochester again, I'll... Hello? Oh boy, are you still looking down on me with scorn? Rochester, I want you to stop with these telephone calls. Do you hear me? Well, both of them said I was sorry. Rochester, what you did to me, only time will heal. Goodbye. As I was saying, ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are going to present... What's all this mystery, Jack? What are you mad at Rochester for? Donna concerns only him and me. Oh, why don't you tell him, Jack? Yes, what did he do? Very well, Don. Rochester hocked my polar bear. That's what he did. The what? You heard me. He pawned Carmichael for $30. Of all the low tricks. For heaven's sake, Jack, didn't you know the bear was missing? Of course I did, but Rochester told me he was playing the Orpheum. Then, when I was downtown last night, I happened to walk by a pawn shop, and there was Carmichael hanging in the window. Right next to a slide trombone. But Jack, how'd you know it was your bear? He was wearing my new wristwatch. Don Rochester, he could have got $12 on that alone. I know. Well, he hasn't heard the last of this. Oh, well, let's get back to our play. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to present a new and original comedy drama entitled Topper Takes an Aspira. He's taken everything else. Now, in this vehicle, I will naturally play the part of Topper. While Mary... Oh, more interruptions. Come in. What are you... Well, I'll be darned. Hey, fellas, look who's here. I lost, Hanson. Slapperman! Well, this is indeed a surprise. It's good to see you again, Slapperman. And I'm happy to see you, too, Jackie Boy. Well, look, everybody's here. It's like old times. Hello, Mary. Hello, Slapperman. My, my, you're getting prettier every day. Thanks. How's your wife? My, for my sake. Ah, good old Slapperman. God, God, it's good to see you again.  Hello, Slapperman. Glad to see you, Slapperman. And Don Gilson, my, my... Tell me, were you always so big or don't I remember? Well, Slapperman, to tell you the truth, I did put on a pound here and there. Here, I don't mind, but there it's unbecoming. Ha, ha, same old Slapperman. I haven't seen you in over a year. What have you been doing with yourself? I've been all over the country. North, south, east, and uptown. I was playing in Voderville. In Voderville? What kind of an act did you do? I was a magician. Oh, a magician? Were you a good one? Sensational. You should see me pull the lining out of the hat. Hey, that's some trick. What, what are you doing out here in California, Slapperman, on a vacation? No, I'm in business here. I opened up a little nightclub. Slapperman's, Hawaii, Haciente. What did you do? Well, I'll sure be out there to see you. Tell me, Slapper, have you got a floor show? Have I got a floor show? My son, Tinker, plays the drums. I play the ukululu. And for a future, my wife, Wiggles. Hey, that sounds great. You know, I'd like to drop in and see your wife do the hula. Okay, if you're passing by, but don't make it a special trade, please. Oh, she can't be that bad. Well, I wish you a lot of luck in your new place, and we'll be over to see you very soon. Thank you. Well, I've got a couple of long now. Aloha, everybody. Hello, sir. Good to see you, sir. Hello, I'm Slapp. I want to go back to my little dress. Second, I'll see you at the end of the third street for undercurrents. Well, it's your good-seeing Slapperman again.  Well, kids, get him kind of late now. I don't think we'll have time to do our play. So how about saving it for next week? It's very long, and if that's who I think it is, he's in for a good boiling out. Hello? Hello, boss. This is your bad boy, Jordan. Rochester, I told you before, I'm not making up with you until you unhocks that polar bear. So goodbye. Goodbye. Wait a minute, boss. That's what I called you up about. I got called up out of the pawn shop. He's back in the house. Oh, well, that's more like it. Now, don't you ever do a thing like that again? Goodbye. Goodbye. Now, wait a minute. I just thought of something. Where did you get the $30 to get Carmichael out of the pawn shop? I thought you weren't speeding to me. Rochester, where did you get that $30? The what? The $30. Where did you get it? It could have been a legacy, you know. It could have, but it wasn't. Now, for the last time, where did you get the $30?  Now, if you don't tell me where you got that $30, you're fired. Okay, boss. Your violin is now hanging where Carmichael was. Oh, my... Rochester, did you pawn my flight of area? That ain't what the man said. Come on, boss. Rochester, Rochester. You match that color as he pawned my violin. There's something every woman knows, but her family is always eager for something new and different for dessert. It's not always easy to find all, and that's why every week we try to bring you some new ideas. Tonight's specialty is a delicious combination called Jello Plum Mold. It's a shimmering mold of rich red cherry jello with canned blue plums, the big juicy kind. It's easy to make, too, and here's how. Dissolve one package of cherry jello in one pint of hot water and chill until slightly thickened. Then fold in one cup of canned blue plums. Mold until firm and... Well, there you are. Quick, easy, and temptingly good. For cherry jello brings you that incomparable, extra-rich flavor, as appetizing as fresh ripe fruit. It tastes just brand combined with the succulent goodness of juicy plums, so try this new dessert tomorrow. Ask your grocer for cherry jello and surprise the family with a jello plum mold. We're a little late, so good night, folks. J.T., come out!


So were you aware of the fact that there's a play Happening right now in the UK. It's actually they've released some of the first Photos of the production that's gonna be opening soon. What that is a musical of the Lord of the Rings No, and the music was written by ar rayman wait what? Yep What that's what I thought I saw I follow several. I'm way more intrigued. I follow several threads accounts that are Theater world both in LA and in the UK and New York Broadway LA and and the UK and One of the thread accounts that I follow in the UK said here are some of the stills And so I went to the actual page that was showing the stills and it talked about the creators of the musical The music is written by ar rayman No, I wouldn't have been intrigued at all in a musical version of Lord of the Rings, right? But if it's ar rayman, I am very interested.  I am not ar rayman. That is the understatement of the century That's true. You can follow same square on Twitter for more juicy content Takes page one fold sort of counts cover like button, but I can write some songs that don't even come remotely close to how good he writes But I did there.

Okay I think there's actually only like three songs or something in it. Okay. Um, I could be wrong Maybe there is that maybe we did but I'm forgetting anybody want to place bets on whether or not akshay is gonna get wet but it says more the This is not like Classic comedy akshay.

So we'll see but you know since this watch along if you watch this on YouTube, this is obviously a very very very very cut up version if you see think that oh, why are you guys talking all the time we're not talking the entire time That's just the highlights of the reaction. And that's how it works. That's how it works people watch this In case you couldn't tell People come here to see how we react to things and if you sit silently with a straight face that's a pretty stupid boring reaction and we are paying attention so we say what's on our mind in ways we don't in the movie theater but this will be in the probably around three parts so if you'd like to see the full uncut version where we are staring at the screen blankly you can head over to Patreon I'll put the link in description below in the pinned comment and you can go check that out so let's just get into this yes I still love how the United States government admitted UFOs and aliens exist and everybody was just going about their business we all kind of figure it's so funny I think they planned it and said we're gonna wait till it's so hot nobody really cares MTV pH 1 Sonic what the fuck is going on does Viacom own all those clearly they're connected in some way I'm guessing Viacom owns wide frame your mom's a wide frame I did not know that there's no 18 month yeah I'm right why isn't there any water we know those faces that is not Akshay Kumar that is I thought it froze for a second I'll take oh no that happened to us last night we're watching a horror movie and it paused because it's like found footage we thought it was our TV we're like Canadian Kumar I think I remember and Johnny saying she liked this movie yeah I remember talking about it once and it was either this one or I think it was this I think she said she liked this one I could be wrong Kumar is coming for your ass the beginning of a heist film it really does well it's cuz it's a heist film it is yeah wow I would never have thought I take Kumar I take Kumar I take Kumar I take Kumar I take Kumar I take Kumar I take Kumar is coming for your ass in the water or he's heisting you I don't know yeah I don't know if he's a good guy I hidden I love that type so much is this that's being Kerr or is this other Kerr we've seen both I already love this movie that's what people think oh nice oceans 11 did that a lot didn't they yeah like the split I think I've only ever seen one of those the first one something's going down did they do the shoelace thing to let us know that he pays attention to the smallest details it was definitely a note yeah that wasn't maybe to distract yeah Tam straight they are four years I had tool chrome on the ground we've frozen on i don't see whatever punchy jokman sweet means that's what I call There's nothing. Give me the key to the cupboard. The key is lost. No, it's not. Sir, the minister's talcua. Interesting camera angle, like a fast paced angle. Very... I mean, I guess for a heist, I gotta... There's a camera angle! Gotta keep up, though. The tension and the energy is being communicated through everything. The camera work, the score. Yeah, editing, that's great. Even that, the in and out. Sir, there's nothing. He's just sleeping like this. Why are you doing this to him? There's nothing. You're being suspicious. You're being suspicious. At least think about the Lord. Yeah, no. Check that thing out. Come on, Girdharji, sir, there's nothing to say. Come on. Sir, please come here. Calm down, sir. Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. She said, you're so mean. Oh, that's a nice touch. The under it. Said a lot about Akshay's character that he took his shoes off before he went in there. These guys are doing it by the book. High level of right and wrong. At least at face value. There's got to be a secret compartment somewhere. Look behind the photographs. Look behind the cupboards. Move a book a certain way and something's going to move. But I'm also wondering if these guys are actually CBI. Right, yeah, something's, I have great skepticism about what we're seeing at face value here. Is this the heist? Right. Or one of them. Yeah. There you go. Hey. But you know what? We're going to let you off with a hand slap. We'll just take all this money. Stop talking like that. I can't understand you. Subtle, very subtle. You guys are being very suspicious. Oh. Don't ruin that car, please. That's a really nice, older car, man. Interesting editing choices there. Love the foley footsteps. Why did they only do Anupum's footsteps and not Akshay's? He's wearing slippers. Please come over there, sir. Here comes the offer of bribe. I feel a slap coming. How do you know? He's crazy. No, so money knows. Yeah. How much will you pay? Exactly. Unlimited water for Akshay. All of it. Two. I think it's going to be fine. Two. Yes. There it is. I knew a slap was coming. Sir. It's good that you offered two, sir. Run veer Singh. Come on. Inform your chocky on wireless. That is not Run veer Singh. We're reaching your chocky. Come on. You'll stay here. The real power is in your heart. By God, always remember this. OK, sir. Sir, right now. Yes. He's a real police officer. They're not real. And also, we know him. Yeah, we do. Where do I know him from? They're doing the real work. We're just our own. They're the real Robin Hoods. We can let the facade down now. The real power is in your heart. What do I do? I'm running after the minister. I'm running after him. I'm running after him. And what are you guys doing? I think he ordered a special vacuum cleaner so he could get that pick up and take him away to. Remember that in Breaking Bad? You have to order the special vacuum cleaner. By some of you, Jeff, for Philip, we'll see how he's doing. Do we just see him in something? The guy that just spoke. I don't know. I really like the music. I do, too. That's a little tip of the cap there. It's great. That's making it possible, right? Yeah, the music is very, very genre-specific. It's great. Him. What do we just see him in? Rines maybe his character in the Cashmere files. Yeah, yeah. I was just going to say that. With the beanie. Forgivable. Yeah. Forgivable. You've been had, my man. You've been had. There'll be no peace for you, Shanti.  What have we seen him in? They weren't. They weren't CBI.  It's not as bad as you think. Oh, gee. It's all a small mistake. Well, more than a small mistake, I think. All right, so we've moved almost a year later. For a second. Yeah. It's not. It's not. Yeah, wait a minute. What's written here? Yeah, get a good watch for the boy. And? That was a VCR of Phillips. And? It's a juicer grinder. I don't understand anything. Yeah, get a new number of good black shoes. Get a batta without a license. And get that perfume and scent. Jaipur, we've been there. Where's papa? Papa is washing his clothes. I'll call him. He wasn't in that Marathi movie, the dark comedy one. Was he? I don't know. OK. We just saw him. We've seen him in a lot, but we just saw him in something. Clothes? No, it was a bit dirty, wasn't it? It's called from the head office. Clearly in love with each other. Hello? Hello? Don't tell them about this. Juliette. Let's try it. That was great. What is it? What a pretty song. Job. You don't understand. Our image in public. Ranveer Singh. Catch me off guard every time. Where's Deepika? We'll help the thieves. You're right, sir. See you, sir. Can't see a field without thinking Shah Rukh Khan and D.D.L.J. like that. Lots of kids with very similar names. She said Sunia and it said beloved. I thought Sunia is listen. Must be very similar words. Sonia. You are my Sonia. Okay, and then Sunia means listen. I guess. They're just similar words, I guess. I keep thinking that's Nawaz. The guy right behind Akshay. That was a fun little song. I enjoyed it. Yeah. Jai Hind, sir. Jai Hind. Jai Hind. You go, I'll talk to you. Jai Hind. You go, I'll talk to you. Jai Hind. You go, I'll talk to you. You go, I'll talk to you. You go, I'll talk to you. I've thought a lot. We need more people to grow up and to keep them. If you were working, this would be my retirement cage. You've been saying this since last 5 years. We've been there too. We could have done all these hights. Baaad, baad, baad, baad, baad. Manoj. There he is. I hope that's your wife, bro. Where's your son?  Wrong look. It wasn't a look of interest. It was a look of disgust. I don't. Are we going to get villain Manoj? A lot of interesting shots. Yeah, I like it. Keeps the intrigue in. Is that helicopter you think? No, I think they were up on top of a building. You think so? Yeah. Tough, that was a tough shot. You got to time that. We've walked there. It looks familiar. Yeah, I think we walked there. Back to the fast paced. All of these backward walking shots for the cinematographer and the assistants. Okay, so he's CBI. You needed those. Yeah. They had to make sure it was kind of good. Kind of looks like young Nawaz a little bit. I think you're going to stop the car.  You have just looked into the eyes of justice. Richard Chase. Now is he actually CBI? Yeah, I think he is legit. And those looks constipated. He's going to slap him and let him fall. A lot of people showed up. Why do I know that guy? And now to the end of our part. One reaction to Special 26 with Akshay Kumar. Did it make you want to go number one? Yes. And if you watch this on YouTube, obviously you saw a very cut up version. If you'd like to see the uncut version and the other parts that are already on. Patreon, you can head over to Patreon. I'll put the link in the pinned comment. And on to part two.


Hello and thank you for being here today. My theme is Encouraging Engagement with Technology and I was talking to my husband about it who's in a similar field to me and he said, I can't believe that you have used that preposition in that title. It's so ambiguous. And given my sociocultural linguistic background, he said, I can't believe it. What are you really talking about? So, thanks darling. This is why I test these things. What I'm really talking about is how we get our learners on board being active participants in their own learning and technology is one of the tools that we can use to do that. So it's an encouraging engagement with technology or through technology or with technology on the side, all of those things. I was getting quite nostalgic listening to Don talk this morning. I thought I'd love to have done that PhD. I was doing a lot of activities that I used to do in the classrooms and so on. Today I'm going to talk to you about the challenges that face large institutions, particularly Monash. Look at examples of what we're doing here at Monash using technology to engage our students in authentic learning. See how that other teachers are doing it with quite sophisticated tools and quite, you know, tools that we can all use and then how we can use Moodle at the end. I'm going to talk a little bit about that, how we can use Moodle to do some of that as well. So the challenges were quite a large institution. We have about 65,000 students. They're spread across five campuses here in Victoria and we have international campuses as well in Malaysia, South Africa and the Prato Center in Italy. And I've put my hand up to go to the Prato Center because I'm sure they need some education design there but I haven't had that gig yet. But that sounds really lovely. We've got a lot of students at Malaysia and often courses that we have here are run here and Malaysia simultaneously. They're quite large classes that we have, business economics, medicine, health science and science can have cohorts of a thousand students per unit which comes with a lot of logistical issues, large lectures and so on and how can we personalize that and make that sort of more meaningful. We have a high percentage of international students so they need individual one-to-one sort of help with their language. All our students go through the IELTS test and there's a certain level of language ability that they have to have when they, or they should have when they enroll but this doesn't give them necessarily a working language so how do we deal with that in the classroom? How do we do that? Our academics are very, very busy as you would all yourselves be. They have teaching loads and research commitments. Malaysia is a research intense university and the research work that our academics do is really important and they are promoted on the basis of their research and we need to maintain high quality of learning and teaching for our students. So as part of the Office of Vice Provost Learning and Teaching I'm involved in what we are calling unit enhancement which is essentially getting teachers involved in looking at how they're delivering, looking at what they're doing online, looking at what they're doing face to face, introducing a blended learning methodology or enhancing a blended learning methodology and helping them personalise that learning for their students. My aim as an education designer is to make it easy for them to do that and I think Moodle has a lot of really good tools that are easy for people to use. You don't need elaborate plug-ins if people have trouble getting their head around sometimes and I'm going to show you at the end of this some of the tools I think that people can do that really make the learning valuable and individual personalised engaging our students. So I'm going to show you three projects that we have here that we're doing. The first one is with business economics. Now, they have built Starlab which is on our core field campus. They also run this in Malaysia so they're aiming at doing it simultaneously. Starlab is a suite of financial simulations. They have lots of programmes and they do market training and they do all sorts of things related to banking international banking and so on. It's as authentic as it can be. Last year they had 2,000 students go through it there's high engagement with the students and it's run from undergraduate and postgraduate. I'm going to let Kevin tell you about it. Starlab stands for simulated teaching and research laboratory and it is aimed at actually involving the students in making the theories come alive. Today's really about consolidating your learning. Today's really about you thinking about the issues. Our initial process was to develop a trading room. It was the first established at a university in Australia. Starlab was started some 25 years ago and it's been an integral part of the curriculum here in banking and finance at Monash University for all those years. The software packages that are used confront students with real life scenarios both in financial markets and in corporate decision making capital budgeting and so forth. So what the Starlab does is it really allows you to take the knowledge and the theory that you've learned throughout your degree and then weave it into a very practical experience. The key skills that the students will get from Starlab will be transactional trading and managing a position. Secondly they would be connecting economic information and aggregates to market outcomes and thirdly teamwork and collaboration. Every semester each team of about three students sometimes maybe four is designated a bank. So it really is like a real life simulation of whatever is happening in the economy. So that's some feedback from the people who have been involved in the building of this program, the teachers, the industry consultation and the students. The key objectives are to help the graduates become ethical and engaged employable global citizens. Now that's quite a big undertaking for a course. The course has been running a long time and they've developed a lot of software to work with this and to help the students get involved in project planning and decision making and ethical. They have ethical dilemmas. The students are engaged at this in a real level. They work in teams, they work individually. They have to produce all their coursework in authentic workplace documents. So Kevin who was featured in that video won't accept essay type responses to assessments if they don't do it in a reporting format, if they don't use business artefacts to produce their reports and their assessments. He takes marks off actually. He really wants to immerse them into this community of practice of banking and finance. The assessment is what the students care about. Teachers care about content. Teachers care about creating learning opportunities. Students care about assessment. Students are, is this going to be on the test? Am I really going to have to know this? So the Monash graduates, graduate attributes are built into the assessment tasks so that the students are working as finance people. They're working as bankers. They're working in this process all the time they're embedded in that so that when they graduate, they have the qualities and the attributes that will be recognized in the workplace, that will be recognized in interviews and that will make them very successful when they're looking for work and start work immediately. So here's the assessment tasks that are involved in the build all of this up. They have individual assessment. They do project reports. They do business reports and because they work with industry, they have opportunities to network and give presentations and really immerse themselves in this. The students really like things like quizzes because it gives them feedback and they do presentations. As I said, they get feedback all the time on the work that they're doing. Though they have a big cohort or though they have about a thousand students per semester, per unit, the teachers break them into groups. They have lectures but they also have group workers in addition to the Starlab work and they really tease out all the ideas that they need to be working on. So here's some of the feedback that the students have had. I'm well prepared for employment before the Starlab experience and the project work that they did. For example, on average 34.9 after the Starlab, 61.5. And then it's broken down for males and females in some of these as well. Students entered learning. Learning is largely instructor-led. Most students thought that it was but after that they thought, no, actually, I do a lot of the work as well. So it changes. Learning in groups is more effective than learning on our own. I really like this one because traditionally students really don't like group work because it's problematic. They have to negotiate with each other and someone always doesn't do the work and someone always does most of the work and students generally don't like it. We do a lot of work with these groups to help them work in teams and work effectively in teams. So that's part of the built into the learning. But by the end of it, a lot more often think working in teams is a really good thing. So that's a really good workplace attribute. I don't think I've ever applied for a job that hasn't had teamwork as one of the key selection or desirable selections. I love this one. I do not feel anxious about executing million-dollar money market or foreign exchange trades. Can anyone put their hand up and say they don't feel anxious about that? I cannot. Language, I'm not maths. You can hear me stumbling over the words finance. It's not me. Before Starlab, 42% of the male said no, I don't feel anxious about that. 28% of the female said no, I don't feel anxious about that. After that, it changed considerably. They all felt a lot more confident. I don't feel anxious. Actually, that's skewed around that. They actually improved their level of anxiety about that drop and they improved because of the practice that they'd had. And the ethical issues one. At the beginning, this is the last criteria, at the beginning they were all fairly confident that they had their ethics sorted. They knew what was right and wrong. They knew how to make decisions. They weren't so sure after that. I see that as a good thing. I don't think that we should ever think that, yeah, we've got the ethics sorted, that situations require unique responses and I like to think that our students are very reflective about the work that they do and they're building a more mature capability in that. And profit is more important than ethics. Great one, isn't it? Profit's more important. Is it? Is it really? At the first 42% it was at the end 55% of the males said is more important than ethics. They are in banking and finance but the ethical element is still very important. So the star lab here pictures of students working together in the star lab we have 108 students. They often set up two rooms and have them trading against each other and this year as I said we're hoping to do this with Malaysia in real time as well. Here's the website if you want to check it out. But while the students, what happens is the students will come into star lab and they're working away on a planned scenario that the teachers have programmed in and set up for the day and they're working along and everything's going along really nicely and then Kevin, who you can see standing there will go into the control room and there are a couple of students in there whose job it is to add variables to the day's work. So he will go in and say things are looking pretty good out there and they've got the value of the Australian dollar and they change it and then it gets really noisy outside and everyone's ringing and phoning and changing things or why don't you say that Greece has voted no on the referendum and things will change again and all hell breaks loose again and the room becomes all noisy again. So nothing is taken for granted. The students have to respond very quickly to this. This is authentic learning for them and it's very, very effective for our learners. But this is a big program that is programmed and it's not something that ordinary mere mortals like us can do in Moodle, but it's a really good program. The next program I'd like to talk about is a case study that was developed by one of our ed designers here in collaboration with Medicine, Nursing and Health Science and it's called ISAP. It's Integrating Science and Practice and its aim is to provide authentic case studies for the students across all the disciplines to work on and react to and get feedback on. So it's scenario based learning. It's case based learning. It's stories. What's most powerful for our students? What do they really remember and I think it's the stories. So they have scenarios that are from actual scenarios. Names and faces have been changed to protect the innocent but these incidents really happened. So the students have to react to an incident, write the reports and so on as if they were really, really there. The challenges for the faculty of medicine are to bridge the gap between the university life and the theory and the research and what actually happens in practice. So it takes a long time to be a doctor or to be a nurse and there's a lot of theory but when you get out into the clinic how does that translate? I had the same issue when I did teaching education. There's a lot of theory and everything which is wonderful and underpins what you do but you get into the classroom in 35 in those days. Young children are looking up at you and it's like well Piages you're at this level and it doesn't work like that and it doesn't work in the clinic as well. So it really needs to be something that's going to help students work through actual things before they can get out there and do some damage. So what we have built is a learning object in effect that's web based and it has cases and you can see this is the front page of one of the first case and it's a radiography case study and someone is handed the work for that worksheet. This is what you need to do. It's your first day, it's a busy night and someone has presented and the doctor sent through the instructions I want these x-rays done. This is what happens. So the top screen is the next page of the scenario and what happens the radiographer starts to do the x-rays and the patient is an elderly male and he's a bit uncomfortable so that he does the first two x-rays that were ordered by the doctor and you can see them there. But he doesn't do the third x-ray that the doctor ordered because the patient gets really anxious and starts to throw up and it's all over the place. So the radiographer is there on his eye and the patient is covered in vomit and everything is covered in vomit. So he asks a nurse to help him clean it up and the nurse says oh we're going to get back to emergency. You deal with it. So the radiographer cleans up the patient and makes a decision. What am I going to do? The doctor wants me to do the third x-ray but we can't. So he cleans up the patient, takes them back to the ward or somewhere. Then the doctor comes in and says well what about that x-ray? I told you to do this you didn't do this why? All along the time there are reports that the radiographer has to fill in and say what's happened and why it's happened because really if the doctor tells you to do something you don't you've got to have a pretty good reason. So I'm going to show you a video of some of the participants and the teachers in Marilyn Baird Professor Marilyn Baird talking about this project and why it's really really useful. ISAP is integrating science and practice and the real goal is that we help students see the value of scientific knowledge in informing their clinical decisions so that patients receive expert care. There are several elements to the design of ISAP. You start off with the scenario or the case it's written fairly shortly, succinctly, it can be a letter form it can be an image it can be whatever but what it must do is give the student an idea of what they need to do with that case. The second element is a student is told essentially the professional issues in the case. They are then provided with resources to go away and create a clinical action plan or CAP. Once they create the action plan in response to the issues raised within the case they upload it on uploading they get a copy of the expert report or action plan. The learning doesn't stop there, the student or students must then compare their action plan with the action plan or suggested response by the expert and upload a comparative report. The comparative report is for me the element of the entire process that the educator can gain some insights into the critical thinking the reflective abilities of the student because until we actually get the students to commit to paper what that case really taught them we can't be sure of anything we don't even not even sure if they actually read or made sense of what the expert suggested should be their approach in the particular situation described within the case. So that's what it's about. It's about that authenticity but then producing the documentation to show that they understand what's really been going on. They download the documents from this case study as you can see and then they get video feedback or a video insight from an expert to say how they should have reacted. So this woman tells them about the appropriate action that radiographers should have taken with the ill patient to continue with the x-rays. So I'm just going to show you briefly what the students think about this because their voice is powerful. Students are actually being facilitated to reflect on the situation that they've been given so with that expert report they can reflect on how the expert did it and reflect back on what they've done so they can do it differently or do it better than before. ISAP gave me the opportunity to self reflect back on to my practice and it gives me the opportunity to also introspectively look at what I've done and how I could further improve my practice. So that's really an essential part of it that the students develop the language and they're able to think like a practitioner. They're being enculturated into this community of practitioners so they develop the language they don't say well I've got to continue with this that they have the patient at the centre and this is really important for our students to learn before we send them out into the clinic because if that old man was your father and you just had someone who said well I've got to get this done that's really inappropriate and you'd be very upset. I'm going to touch briefly on this because I see we're getting close to running out of time but this is higher ed degree students Honours students and PhD students who are part of the robotics laboratory in the swarm have developed swarm technology. What I liked about this project was that it and they do lots of projects but it's a collaboration of a lot of different disciplines so is that on yet? This is the little single unit, little simple unit that makes up part of the swarm here and the swarm little robots are programmed to act as a group to collaborate and make decisions as a group from directions and obviously a mathematical algorithm from the central computer. This project brings together students of mathematics, biological sciences mechanical and electrical engineers IT people all of whom contribute to make this a really valuable experience. Each of them knows something that the others don't. So this, I really loved this obviously robots are really cool and glamorous and so on but it's the project work, it's the group work and it's the this is really authentic work these students are sitting at the grown-ups table in the real world with real people they are involved in cutting edge research and technology and that's really validating for them as well so that's a really wonderful project it's not something that I could do so I need to mention that aside, I need to now look at social media because social media is a big part of education, we've got twitter streams going on and so on, I just want to show you a couple of class units that use social media I'm going to look at Facebook and Yammer Twitter's brilliant, I love it if you've, you know, I'm on twitter but it's very public and so Yammer is a preferred platform for our students for some of our students because of the nature of its privacy so this is Facebook, this is science communication and practice and it's student controlled, as you can see what's the clue here that it's student controlled clue is John Snow the teacher did not put up that photo of John Snow, does anyone watch Game of Thrones hands up, show of hands, anyone recognize this, you know sad looking person this is John Snow, there was a question on the exam about John Snow this post came up after the exam after saving London, despite saving London from the cholera epidemic John Snow still knew nothing which is a theme, a meme that's going around at the moment you know nothing John Snow I won't tell you the cholera story, it's pretty fascinating it signified a real shift in science and germ theory the way John Snow worked out where the cholera was and how he worked that out, it's pretty fascinating but mostly this Facebook page is used by the students to ask questions about the exam questions about what they have to do they use it more than they use the Moodle forums, it's accessible the teachers love it any claims of pseudoscience falsifiable does anyone know what Flair is I think is one of these questions somewhere these are things that are on the exam that students are asking about in the weeks leading up to the exam they use it as their own form of communication the teacher likes it because the students use Facebook that's a no brainer but not everyone does and this comment I hear this a lot where's my thing, teacher has less control this is a problem that teachers have if we give control of the learning to the students they might learn the wrong thing and a lot of teachers are worried about that students the teachers do go into Facebook and correct any misunderstandings to trust our students more to find their way to the right answer and then there's social media Yammer this is a psychology and psychiatry group and they use Yammer because of its very closed nature and they use it to ask questions about the course who's doing the reading, what reading should I be doing and so on students care about assessment there are lots of questions in these and I think that as practitioners we should really rethink how we assess try and make our assessment more authentic essays are fine they're a great way of teasing out what students know, what they don't know and the theory underpinning it but there are lots of ways that our students can demonstrate their understanding they could make videos of what they're doing they could collate a whole lot of different things into something like Moodle Wiki or we use Google tools for education so they could use Google sites or WordPress and draw a whole lot of things there's more than one way to represent what we know and I think we should really give our students the opportunity at least in at least one assessment task to do that the ed designers are working with the teachers to help rethink their assessment practice, think about the weightings and should you have an 80% exam so what can we do in Moodle so the ISAP case the ISAP case could be built really beautifully in Moodle with a Moodle lesson you can link to documents that students download you can add videos, you can add pictures you can make it more like a decision I love Moodle for decision making it's a really powerful tool I always get teachers to start with big bits of butcher paper so they can draw the tree, the decision tree and have post-it notes so they can move things around before they actually build it it's quite, once you start building it it can become a bit overwhelming we're doing a lot of work also with peer assessment so that our students are reviewing each other's work okay, two more minutes students can assess each other's work research has shown that when students have to look at someone else's work if they're going to be reviewing someone else's work and have their work looked at by someone else they work harder if they're doing something just for the teacher they do what the teacher wants but if their peers are going to be looking at it they are more careful about what they do and we use the Moodle workshop for that and I've run a workshop in building a Moodle workshop and teased out all those ideas of control and so on I will flip through these quite quickly because I am out of time but I want to emphasise that Moodle should be used as a learning it is teacher controlled and should be used to develop learning and build learning design in and contextualise all the learning we do use authentic activities I'm a big fan of choice if you saw my presentation yesterday you'll know I'm a big fan of choice it gives students information before the lecture before they come they're thinking about the topic it gives them something controversial they have to vote when they get to the lecture you mention it they think oh I thought that it pre-activates their thinking about a topic and I'm encouraging the use of this as a pre-learning activity because really students don't often do the reading we would like them to do sort your content and activities, contextualise the learning and so on using pages Moodle pages I think are possibly underused they can be used to contextualise any activity that you do the ISAP case study could also be built in a series of linked pages you could make your own link from page to page again you can download documents and insert videos they're really powerful this science and communication unit is using it to sort the learning for that topic so here's what you need to know for this topic here is what you're going to do here are the links to the assessment tasks and the lecture slides that you really want all in the one place for the student to find so for our advanced learners not a problem they can sort it out but for our students who have English as a second language or students who don't have good learning strategies this is really powerful for helping them develop the cognitive skills that they need to manage their learning this is thinking about what the learner needs not just putting our documents up in Moodle because that's not helpful to our students I'll get through those feedback what are the future directions I have no answers to these questions but this is your homework to think about do we need lectures, how can we redesign our learning environments and how do we keep our learner at the centre of what we're doing we'll stop now thank you very much


Welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel. I'm Goldpony. I typically do new car truck and SUV reviews on YouTube, but today's video I wanted to switch it up. And so every now and then I will cover warranties in the actual reviews of the vehicles that I do, but a lot of the time since I can't actually review a warranty I don't always mention it. So I did want to make this video the top 10 auto manufacturer warranties for the 2020 model year because there has been some changes for the 2020 model year actually. And the other thing is I don't think a lot of people actually know about the way warranties work. So for instance, some manufacturer warranties do transfer to the second owner and some don't. That's kind of interesting because if you then buy a used vehicle, a lot of times you're thinking that you do get that manufacturer warranty that's left over from the previous owner. Some of them you do, but some of them you don't. So I wanted to cover that a little bit. Bumper to bumper warranty I'll be going over that essentially covers everything about the vehicle that is not your own wrongdoing. Perhaps like, let's say you run into a light pole, you're getting into an accident, that obviously isn't going to be covered under warranty power train warranty being the mechanics essentially covering things like the engine, the transmission, the drivetrain, etc. Anything that actually powers the vehicle.  Really, if the cars paint decides to peel on you before that warranty is up, the manufacturer will pay to have that repainted for you. It's always a plus in the event of a tiebreaker between those warranties I'm about to cover.  So hopefully it helps for that reason alone. But so anyways, having said all of that, let's go ahead and jump right into it and working our way down to number one. Let's go ahead and start with number 10 on the list. It's a number 10 on my list is going to be Buick. And so Buick for 2019 offered a four year 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, six year 70,000 mile power train warranty. However, for 2020 that is reduced slightly. So one of the changes for this year, three year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper, five year 60,000 mile power train with a three year 36,000 mile anti corrosion warranty. And I will say they do give you one year 10,000 miles of complimentary maintenance if you're interested as well. So they will slot in on number 10 of the list. But now let's go ahead and make our way to number nine. It's a number nine on my list is going to be BMW four year 50,000 mile bumper to bumper, four year 50,000 mile power train battery warranty. This is something I'm going to mention for certain manufacturers because not every manufacturer does hybrids and battery powered cars quite yet, but battery warranty for BMW is going to be eight year 100,000 miles. And that's going to include of course the hybrid components and essentially the electric battery itself, but three year 36,000 mile complimentary maintenance. That's huge. That is also actually included on any new BMW as well. And then making our way to number eight. Previously, if I were to do this video before this particular manufacturer probably would have been number one, but now sitting at number eight being Volkswagen. And so Volkswagen drastically changed their warranty from the 2019 model year. In 2019, they were sitting at six years, 72,000 mile bumper to bumper and power train warranties. That was the very best back then. However, for 2020, they did switch that up. Of course, 2020 gives you a four year 50,000 mile bumper to bumper, four year 50,000 mile power train. Still respectable. I got to be honest, but not as good as the 2019 warranty, of course, but included with that, I kind of to make up for that, that lack of previous warranty that they had in 2019, they will now offer for 2020, two years, 20,000 mile free complimentary maintenance.  But so anyways, that is going to be the number eight. Let's now go ahead and make our way to number seven, which is going to be Lexus. And so Lexus includes a four year 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, six year, 70,000 mile power train warranty. And once again, like BMW, eight year, 100,000 mile hybrid component warranties, including the batteries, of course, and they will also give you one year, 10,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well. But so then yet another luxury brand on the list coming in at number six being infinity. And so when it comes to infinities warranty, that is going to be four year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, six year, 70,000 mile power train. And unfortunately, with infinity, there is no free maintenance there. But still a very respectable warranty. That is why they are going to come in at number six. Make your way to number five on the list being Jaguar. And so five year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, five year, 60,000 mile power train. And here it is. Here's the kicker with Jaguar. They have the very best free maintenance plan of all other manufacturers out there right now. So when it comes to complimentary maintenance for Jaguar, they give you five year, 60,000 mile just like the warranty of complimentary free maintenance. So that is a heck of a deal there to go along with that. Once again, eight year, 100,000 mile battery or hybrid component warranty for Jaguar as well. But now number four on our list being Kia. And so this is where I got to say we're really getting into the good stuff here. So when it comes to Kia, they do give you five year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper just like Jaguar. However, they will give you a 10 year, 100,000 mile power train warranty. So if you drive less than 10,000 miles a year, you have their warranty for up to 10 years when it comes to the engine transmission and drive train and things like that. That is wonderful. Especially if you were to get, let's say a Kia Stinger GT with a twin turbo V six. How often do you see twin turbo V six is warrantied for 10 years? That's amazing. But here's the kicker with that 10 year power train warranty. It does apply to the original owner only. So if you were to buy a used Kia Stinger or used Kia at all, that 10 year, 100,000 mile power train warranty will not apply to you. However, the bumper to bumper warranty is transferable. So you will still get that just not the 10 year, 100,000 mile power train warranty there. But having said that Kia does also make hybrid and battery powered vehicles when it comes to their battery warranty. It is 10 years, 100,000 miles, so slightly more years, same mileage as some of the previous companies there. But so that's going to be there for you. And Kia also offers actually roadside assistance coverage for five years and 60,000 miles. So that is a big old plus as well there. But now let's go ahead and make our way to number three on the list. And so here's one a lot of people might not actually know about. Number three on the list for best warranties is actually Mitsubishi. And so the reason why five years, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, once again, 10 year, 100,000 mile power train just like Kia. And although Mitsubishi does not offer any free maintenance, they do give you five years unlimited miles of roadside assistance. So that's where they're going to differ from Kia. And that's why they slot in before Kia actually on my list. And they do want better actually with that roadside assistance. They actually give that to the primary and the secondary owners as well. So if you were to buy a Mitsubishi that was used or pre-owned, you will also get that roadside assistance if you are the second owner. So that is something to consider if you were looking at a used Mitsubishi as well. So that is why Mitsubishi slots in at number three on my list. And now let me now get to number two on my list. And part of the reason why I am currently driving the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe today. And so a few years ago, I bought our 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. And along with many other reasons, the warranty was definitely something we considered my family when we actually got this one. And part of the reason is because Hyundai does give you a five year, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, 10 year, 100,000 mile power train, again, for the original owner only again, part of the reason why we bought it new, we do get that power train warranty. So that's a big plus. And that power train warranty, I really can't stress that enough. Part of the reason is because it does apply to all of their vehicles, including cars like the Hyundai Blaster N that is their turbocharged hot hatch, so to speak. So competing with cars like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, competing with cars like Honda Civic Type R. So that is definitely a huge plus for a performance car like that to be warrantied for 10 years, 100,000 miles. When it comes to the engine transmission and drivetrain, that's a big plus there. And like with Mitsubishi and Kia, of course, the bumper to bumper warranty does transfer if you were to get a used Hyundai. So that's something to consider as well if you're looking to go that route. But here's why Hyundai slots in before Kia and Mitsubishi, you guys, three years, 36,000 mile complimentary maintenance is now offered, now comes standard on every Hyundai sold as of February 2020. So this was a recent change that just happened last month. So that's what I'm saying. There's so much new movement in the 2020 warranty world right now, and that is going to be included in every new Hyundai purchased for 2020.  So that's a huge benefit if you were looking to get a new Hyundai. And the weird thing about that is you guys probably know Kia is kind of the sister company that Hyundai purchased. Kia doesn't offer that yet. Hyundai does. So something to consider as well. So you go along with that when it comes to Hyundai, five year unlimited miles of roadside assistance. And here's the best part if you were looking to get a hybrid vehicle or a electric vehicle. If you go with Hyundai, one of theirs as opposed to Tesla or any of the other manufacturers, Hyundai has the very best warranty when it comes to electric vehicles being that the hybrid components are actually warrantied for the lifetime of the vehicle. So if you get an EV, if you get the new Hyundai Kona EV, that battery on that SUV is warrantied forever. That is crazy. And a huge incentive to purchase a Hyundai electric vehicle as opposed to let's say a Tesla or a BMW or really any other electric vehicle out there. That is pretty cool. Along with that, Hyundai also gives you a seven year unlimited mileage anti-perforation warranty or anti-rust warranty once again. And although all of that warranty sounds absolutely amazing, I can tell you because somebody is going to ask, I've had no issues whatsoever in my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's got 30,000 miles on it. Of course, hopefully you wouldn't think there would be any issues, but there isn't. So I haven't had to use any of those warranties. So in case anybody was curious about the vehicle I'm driving right now, no, I've had no issues with my personal Hyundai. So that's always a plus too. But now let's go ahead and make our way to number one on the list. And wouldn't you know it is a brand associated with Hyundai being their performance luxury division named Genesis. Genesis is number one on the warranty list because of course you have the five year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain. Once again, only applying to the original owner though. But the cool thing once again about that is they have that twin turbo V6 found in cars like their G70, like their G80 Sport and G90. And that is a heck of an engine. Whenever you put twin turbos on a V6, you have stellar acceleration and the fact that they warranty that acceleration, that fun is absolutely amazing. So I love that. Three years 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance also included five year unlimited mileage for roadside assistance, seven year unlimited mileage anti-perforation warranty. All of this is identical to Hyundai. However, the reason I had to put Genesis at number one because again, they are pretty darn similar to Hyundai. They are essentially the same company is that Genesis does offer one feature that Hyundai does not that is going to be coverage for three years 36,000 miles for a service valet. That is something Hyundai has yet to do. And so what that actually is is when you do need to schedule an oil change or a tire rotation or whatever, of course it is covered for the first three years 36,000 miles just like Hyundai.  So if you never wanted to leave your house, Genesis is really the way to go because they got you covered there and that is why they are my number one. So hope you guys enjoyed this little switch up a little change of a video there and hopefully you found it helpful as well maybe in your future purchase of any vehicle. So that is about it for this one you guys, do appreciate you guys watching. Feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there if you like. Be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button if you're into new car reviews. That is what we do here primarily on this channel. Do appreciate you guys watching more than you know and I will see you guys all in the next video. Stay Gold!


Right. Well, if a politician uses social media, that's as if they're making a speech. You can fact check a tweet. You can fact check a Facebook post. This is something that we do routinely. And of course, one of the ways that we disseminate fact checks is through social media, tweets, Facebook, what have you. We even do Snapchat fact checks of presidential debates. In terms of fact checking things that appear on social media, this is an important role now for fact checkers because there is a lot of false information that appears on the internet.
