Or if I may say so, the agriculture sector. These three bills being first, the farmers empowerment and protection agreement of price assurance and farm services bill. The second being the farmers produce trade and commerce promotion and facilitation bill. And the third being, you know, the essential commodities amendment bill. The bills will now be, you know, tabled in the Rajya Sabha as they have already been passed by the Lok Sabha. There has been a lot of, you know, noise, protests, you know, doubts and confusion. About the intent and understanding of these bills. The government claims that the proposed laws are aimed at helping small and banished farmers, the marginalized farmers. Nevertheless, the bill has sparked massive protests in predominantly agriculture dependent states where farmers are panicking with regard to the proposed law, you know, intending to harm their income and livelihood. Let me explain to all the viewers some salient provisions of these bills. And once I have done that, I will, you know, also let you know about what apprehensions and doubts and confusion or misconceptions farmers have or the critics have with regard to the new bill. Predominantly, the farmers produce trade and commerce promotion and facilitation bill. As I'm speaking in English, I personally feel that I should also do this lecture in Hindi language so that, you know, this lecture or video talk should reach as many farmers as possible and including their family members. Perhaps I will do that soon. I asked myself, you know, why did the government think of bringing about these new laws? Where was the need? Well, on the face of it, I do not see anything wrong with these proposed new laws. Though it is natural that, you know, when you shake the age old system, there is bound to be resistance. But I think that the old system has outlived its utility and it was not helping the farmers to grow. It is high time that the farmers realize that they are also traders in a sense. They're also businessmen, they're significant part of the economy, business and commerce. They need to get the best price for their produce and that too in an open market, in a transparent manner. The agricultural markets in India are primarily regulated by state agriculture produce market committees or marketing committees, APMCs. They were, you know, established under respective state laws to ensure fair trade between the buyers and sellers for efficient price discovery of farmers produce. But these market committees have not helped the farmers as they were expected to. Most agriculture produce market committees have a limited number of traders, you know, who are operating within the domain, thereby leading to the cartelization and jeopardizing fair competition. And one has also seen unjustified deductions in the form of commissions, charges and market fees. The entry of new persons into market yards is almost next to impossible because of the cartelization of traders, commission agents and other operators, you know, leading to oppressive competition and unfair pricing of agriculture produce. The APMC regime disallows in a way free trade of farmers produce and does not support, you know, marketing at multiple channels. And APMC also does not propagate farming under pre-agreed contracts. There have been reforms suggested in the agriculture sectors as to trade and commerce of the farm produce for several decades but no reforms have been brought about. And it has not attracted private investment into the agriculture sector because of that reason. Hence, I feel that the introduction of these bills was highly essential in order to boost the agriculture sector. Let me brief you first about the farmers produce trade and commerce promotion and facilitation bill. Before, you know, proceeding to the substantive provisions of the bill, you know, I would like to share with you the three main objectives. Behind this bill, the object why the government wants this particular law first to provide for the creation of an ecosystem where the farmers and traders enjoy the freedom of choice relating to sale and purchase of farmers produce and facilitates remunerative prices through competitive alternative trading channels. That first objective. Second, to promote efficient, transparent and barrier free interstate, interstate trade and commerce of farmers, you know, produce outside the physical promises of the markets or the markets notified under the state agriculture, you know, produce market legislation. Third, to provide a facilitative framework for electronic trading and matters connected therewith or incidental there too. Now moving on to the substantive provisions of this new law to be the proposed new law. First, you know, farmers produce is now a matter of business trade and commerce. The farmers produce trade and commerce promotion and facilitation bill. Permits and enables interstate and interstate trade of farmers produce outside the market locations of the state agricultural produce market committees. Hence, you know, the farmers can now trade their produce outside the trade areas.  Two, farmers trading will be on the electronic platforms now. The bill allows and enables the electronic trading of scheduled farmers produce that is agriculture produce regulated under any state APMC act in the specified trade area. There shall be an electronic trading and transaction platform to facilitate the direct and online buying and selling of such produce. It's historical and it will be done through electronic devices and the Internet. And quite transparently, the entities which can establish and operate such platforms would include companies, partnership firms or registered societies, having a permanent account number, a PAN number under the income tax act or any other document, you know, notified by the government from time to time. And it can also be set up by a farmer producer organization or agricultural cooperative society. These platforms. Then third sale in feature state market fee eliminated. Yes, the bill forbids and bars state government from levy any market fee says or levy on farmers, traders and electronic trading platforms for the trade of farmers produce, which is transacted in an outside trade area or in other words outside the physical areas of the agricultural produce market committees. Now, let me take, take up the farmers, you know, empowerment and protection agreement on price assurance and farm services bill. I mean, this is interconnected with the previous bill. First, formalization of farming trade transaction. This second bill provides for a farming agreement or contract between a farmer and a buyer before the production or rearing or nurturing of any farm produce. It also stipulates the minimum and maximum period of agreement. You know, minimum being one crop season or one production cycle of livestock. Whereas the maximum period being five years, you know, unless of course, you know, if the production cycles are more than five years, then it could be even beyond five years. Second, commercials of farming produce. You know, as per this bill, the pricing of farming produce shall have to have shall have to be declared in the agreement. However, where the price prices are exposed to variation, the agreement will clearly provide for a guaranteed price for the produce as well as for any additional amount above the guaranteed price. The pricing will have to have some basis behind its calculation and determination, you know, which will have to be mentioned in the agreement. So that's very transparent provision, you know, transparency enhancing provision, if I may say so. Third, dispute resolution mechanism. You know, wherever there is an agreement, there must be a dispute resolution clause. This bill provides that a farming agreement shall provide necessarily for a consolation board as well as a consolation process for settlement of disputes, if any. At the first instance, all disputes shall have to be referred to this board for resolution, failing which, you know, the board may approach the concerned SDM, the Subdivision Magistrate for Resolution of the Dispute. And parties will also have a right to appeal to an appellate authority, you know, presided by the collector or additional collector, you know, against the decision given by the SDM, by the Magistrate. The decision as to dispute shall be taken in a very time bound manner, in a very time bound fashion, that is not more than 30 days at each stage or level. And as I've explained, there are three stages for resolution of disputes. Each stage cannot take more than 30 days. Now, the most important offshoot of the dispute resolution is that no action, no action can be taken against the agricultural land of the farmer for recovery of any dews. So, I mean, you cannot take away the agricultural land of the farmer in order to execute the dews. Now, in so far as the Essential Commodities Amendment Bill is concerned, basically, this amendment allows the central government to regulate the supply of certain food items, you know, including cereals, pulses, potatoes, onions, edible oil seeds and oils, only in extraordinary circumstances, which include war, you know, famine, you know, extraordinary price rise and natural calamity of grave nature. Further, this amendment necessitates, requires imposition of any stock limit on agriculture produce that must be based on price rise and there is a, you know, formula assigned to it. So, the stock limit can be imposed only in case of price rise. Now, the doubts in the mind of farmers and some critics has been, you know, predominantly on the following grounds. Or for the following reasons. First, there is a worry, fear or concern that the farmers will not be in a position to get paid at the minimum support price, the MSP and the commission agents fear they will also be hit as the business is going beyond the cartels and physical bounds. Because farmers can sell now outside the physical bounds of the agriculture committees. Now, some critics also feel that this is a step towards corporatization of agriculture and farming business, which may not be in the interest of farmers in agriculture sector. But there is no basis behind that argument. Third, the agriculture dependent states like, you know, Punjab and Haryana also fear losing revenue because, you know, as per the proposed law, they are now prohibited barred from living and collecting the market fee. Cess, you know, in other words, Monday fees in those transactions where farmer will be selling the produce outside the state agriculture produce markets. Yes. So, you know, so they will lose revenue, but farmers will gain by all means. Fourth, you know, it is a matter of fact that these states, you know, earn huge revenue from the central procurement agencies who purchase produce like wheat and rice for the central pool from these state states. Now, if central agencies do not buy from the state Mondays, you know, this will result in a massive loss of commission for the states. But farmers will be the gainers and the platform providers would be also the gainers. But I am of the primary facing opinion that these three bills or proposed laws intend to boost the accessibility of buyers for farmers produce. They grant flexibility and enable the farmers to trade freely without any restrictions whatsoever. With no license required, no stock limits. These proposed laws are aimed at increasing market competition so that the farmers get the best prices for their produce. So overall, great initiative for the benefit of the farmers.


Cancer is a metabolic disease that involves the uncoupling of glycolysis from oxidative phosphorylation in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, leading to high-rate glycolysis and the Warburg effect, which are crucial for cancer cell proliferation. The review discusses the molecular events involved in this process and highlights the key role of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor HIF-1 in long-term adaptation to hypoxia. Advanced anti-cancer treatments targeting tumor glycolysis are briefly reviewed. This article was authored by Palo Iporparato, Rajesh K. Dedeach, Suvira E. Dup, and others.


I myself sewage from drone automations, we are into cleaning, inspection and maintenance of sewer pipes as well as government manuals using low cost robots, so how everything started in my second year of engineering I saw a Facebook poster, it mentioned that the person and tiger are cleaning the manual sewer pipes, then I thought they are technologist to go deep into space but there is no technology to go 10 feet below the ground and clean the manuals, so from there we started building our hotel, testing it in a natural scenario then after 1 and half to 2 years of graduation we are here, so our primary we are into private buildings, apartments, wherever the building maintenance are there they will be there and apart from the private sector we are also into government manuals, private housing complexes, what not, so wherever pipes are there and there is a cleaning which needs to be there, we can deploy our robots and we can even see what is happening inside the pipe depending, it doesn't depend on any size or length of the pipe, so any size any dimension of the pipe we can give our robot customizable to the pipe and till now we have raised the robot our first seed round and we have 1-2 robots namely startup karnataka and jl procted robot and where we are going in future is we want to develop a rocket highly efficient robot and from karnataka we want to deploy all over India and wherever pipes are there we will be there and understand and we will build the future together


Hello everybody and all of the people here in the room, my name is Royal O'Brien. I'm the general manager of Digital Media and Games over at Linux Foundation. I'm also the executive director of the Open 3D Foundation and the Open Metaverse Foundation. And today we're going to talk a little bit about the metaverse, kind of getting real. The idea here is to talk about what really exists today, what's really happening today and other things that we really need or what we think we're dreaming about or, you know, how do they fit into that? So this is kind of a talk, an open talk with really anybody about what can we really do, what makes sense. And I think that's really the main point here. And so kind of everybody do a short introduction on yourselves and we'll kind of hop to it. So you're up first. I'm up first. Well, my name is Leo Bongers. I'm mainly an independent developer, started my own company and last year mainly focusing on small volume manufacturing and makers, independent creators and really trying to focus on that group, help them kind of like turn their hobby projects into products they can sell to other people. And next to that also focus on metaverse, try to help build the foundations that to kind of get like an open source foundation to it. Great. So I'm Matt White. I am the CEO of Berkeley Synthetic. It's a small private research group focused on the intersection of simulations and AI. I do teach at UC Berkeley. I also am a co-founder of the OMF from the way back version of it. And I also chair a working group at the Metaverse Standards Forum. So James Hurst house. I've been in digital media content and infrastructure for about 20 years now. Got my start in Japan. In the early days of massively multiplayer online games working with at the time was half of Nexen. So really had a front row seat to the Jurassic period of massively multiplayer online gaming. For me, obviously a precursor of what some people would describe the metaverse to be. 2007 was a contributing author to a thing called the Metaverse Roadmap with guys like Philip Rosedale from Second Life and a whole bunch of other folks that are still sort of active in the space. And it's interesting to go back and see what we said in 2007 as to what we would need moving forward in terms of things like high performance cloud and compute new approaches to 3D and all these kinds of things. And so, you know, here we are in 2023 finding out what we got right and what we got wrong. Move to Canada in 2010 to start a mobile game studio called Roadhouse. And then around 2019, I guess started on my current path. And today now what I'm doing is running a studio called Departure Lounge. And we have, we think North America's largest highest resolution volumetric capture stage. And the main purpose of that is to turn human performances into digital avatars ready for their appearance in the metaverse. And so, you know, Departure Lounge gateway to the metaverse and that's what I'm doing now. Awesome. So, so kind of everybody has their particular areas. And I think a good place for us to start is to talk about digital assets because it kind of crosses everybody. And there's so many different angles we can talk about such as, you know, how they're, how are you going to get them into people's hands? How many of them can you get in their hands? You know, what's it going to look like when you do that kind of interaction of trade? You know, what, what, what exists? Like what have we been able to do today? So from my background in the games industry, you know, we know how many things we can put on the screen at one time. We know some of the assets and characters, but you know, I guess it's really for anybody. What do you think the limitations are today with what we can do and what games do versus what we think we can do or where people are dreaming for it? Is there anybody? I personally think that the intention is probably quite a lot further than we think technologically wise. But into some degree, it's about how much effort you want to put in because you can do quite a lot of L.A. streaming and interest management to get really, really detailed worlds with quite a lot of content. But like the issue ends up being like, okay, well, you need to very sophisticated system for knowing what data you need to stream in and then also getting it very efficiently because a very simple world is where you can just load it in all at once. So I think it's a loaded question. There's a lot of dimensions to this, right? And so when we talk about digital assets, how do we distill that down, right? Because nearly like anything can be a digital asset. And so if we distill it down to like 3D digital assets, right? Something that's renderable. There's certainly a lot of views on ownership, right? And like in custody and being able to engage in commerce with your assets. And then when we talk about rendering, you know, being able to load times, right? Like we look at some of the decentralized solutions today. None are really a good fit in my opinion for, you know, decentralized 3D worlds, right? Virtual worlds. Is it a scale problem or is it just an architecture? It's an architecture issue today, right? So if you look at, you know, this might get me burned by a few folks, but if you look at, you know, blockchain, right? And we look at NFTs, you know, they're effectively Providence, right? Like you have ownership, but of something at the end of a URL that is not immutable, right? And so if we are going to try and like take a 3D asset, an avatar, have a bunch of LODs attached to that and stick it into IPFS, which is running under somebody's table or sorry, under somebody's desk somewhere, that's not going to yield a very good experience, right? And so I think the concept of like a global CDN and this idea of like secure storage and being able to geographically situate or cache assets next like close to the virtual world in which they're going to be rendered, I think is going to be important. There is no solution in market for that right now. I think it's very naive for folks to think that we can use some of the existing technology today. I do think that you can absolutely have an NFT and you know, put that up as art in your, within your virtual space or your virtual home, but I don't think that that is going to scale for the needs of 3D virtual worlds, right? So I'm going to double click on something you just said earlier, but I want James, you can't weigh in on that because there's a lot in there. Well, I mean, my reality for the last couple of years has been far less gaming and it's been much more in the realm of virtual production, real-time production. And so for example, as we look at using Unreal or we look at using Unity or we look at using these scene creators, my take on this, my answer to this question probably comes from a different angle than maybe where you wanted to go with the utilization of asset in gaming or massively interactive live event kind of 3D worlds, right? I mean, one of the things we've been trying to do recently is that high performance cloud and compute platform, the ubiquitous thing, but it's a massive undertaking to try and create that level of ubiquity and that level of, you know, always on lag-free, latency-free computing that you might think that we need. But you know, the answer that I would give in terms of sort of digital asset and the current use case because you know, in the hall we were saying, what's real now? I mean, I am sensing, for example, that, you know, if you look at things like even in our wheelhouse with volumetric capture, you know, we're creating scans of performances. Sometimes, you know, a great use case actually was last December when the Whitney Houston biopic came out. So the Whitney Houston biopic that came out used volumetric for every extra in that show, right? So it was, I can't say how many millions of dollars worth of volumetric, but it was a lot cheaper and more cost-effective and more energy-efficient to do it that way than it was to rent Dodgers Stadium or Carnegie Hall and have all of these folks show up for real. And I think the next phase of that, for example, is that each of those assets that have been captured volumetrically and now you've got, you know, a guy dressed as a surgeon for the background of your medical drama, you're not really going to need to have that guy come in and do a performance again, right? Because that volumetric asset already exists. And the idea of somebody who's now making a movie and using Unreal or whatever, wanting to utilize that asset in the production of that content in the same way that Getty Images works or in the same way that Shutterstock works can start to now go out and look for these different elements. And I think what's interesting is, is somebody takes that one asset and says, okay, well, the actor needs to get paid and the guy that designed the costume needs to get paid and this person needs to get paid, that person needs to get paid. I think there is a lot of companies that are starting to emerge now who are using smart contracts to be able to kind of properly divide the royalties or the payments for each of these assets that we're going to start bringing in to these environments. And then obviously I think in the gaming context, what's interesting is that if through, you know, 20 minutes or two hours or 200 hours of gameplay, somebody's interaction with that asset has meaningfully improved it or what have you, still the original creator and the designer of the costume and all these. So, you know, when we were talking outside about where do I see, for example, digital asset and the intersection between blockchain and creative. For us, that's our current reality much more than it is about the scalability component that you were trying to address. And if you obviously, if you're making very, very high-end Unreal-based digital movies, in a way, compute is not a problem, right? You know, because massive render farms and things like that. And so it's much more about how does the underlying commerce work in conjunction with these 3D assets. And I think, you know, that will eventually find its way over into more sort of gaming and interactive experiences. So particularly because now the assets are obviously converged through these single game engines, right? So two things are brought up. Secure storage and smart contracts. What's the reality? I mean, I think the reality on the smart contract side is now starting to happen, right? Not necessarily quite as far as what I've just described in terms of people being able to be remunerated sort of on a micro revenue basis for the utilization of their asset in a particular movie, for example. But you are starting to see, for example, companies that are going out there and now trying to sort of hoover up the digital rights, for example, to world landmarks, right? So for example, if you want to put the Louvre or you want to put, I don't know, Dodger Stadium into your movie, the idea now of being able to go and obviously acquire that asset, drop it into the background of your scene and utilize it and potentially have that asset change over time, for example, because we're talking real-time now. I think the distribution of who needs to get paid for that asset and in some cases that's multiple layers of payments that are required. That's real, it's beginning to be real now, right? I'm a little curious because I think you probably have a different perspective on smart contracts and content. Well, I can talk on end on what I specifically think about the way smart contracts are implemented right now, but I think the most important part for me personally is that the concept behind it to me is very interesting because yeah, we've got this really complex web of people who really should be getting paid. For example, like actors, we've got currently a big discussion going on of exactly that kind of 3D scanning that is happening of extras basically, and a lot of the unions especially are starting to say, wait, these people need to get paid. And I think that myself, I am not a big fan of blockchain and I'm going to be very honest on that, but I do think that the idea of having that system of people actually getting paid, of royalties, having that in some kind of way that you can interpret digitally certainly is a lot better than not having anything at all. And I also think it's very important and how I think personally how to be implemented or not. It's a little bit more besides the point as long as you do have that system because I do think that that is the incredible valuable part that I personally really care about. Yeah, I think you're right because you have to imagine a future in which the situation is better than where we're at now, which is actors typically are bought out, extras are bought out, and yet at the same time many folks who want to make movies wouldn't be able to use the range of acting talent that could be available to them if they knew that they were able to pay for that talent over a period of years based on success. So if all of a sudden this movie is now a $200 million, $300 million movie, ideally, if you think about it, the remuneration for everybody in it and all of the people that participate, it should be more than the full buyouts. And so does that engender a whole new era of creativity where it's more democratized because you don't have to pay for a thousand extras at the beginning and you pay them when it's the movies of success maybe. And then the next question is, you know, if that extra is now in a movie and I use AI, generative AI to change the appearance of that initial performance, is it that actor anymore? So somehow there has to be a relationship between the underlying performance and the iteration of that or the manifestation of that performance on the screen, which also is very challenging when you sort of think about it. So I reckon that if we really try and fight for this future in which that type of remuneration is possible, then it is a better democratized, more creative future, right? And then that probably I think would come spill back over into games and interactive experiences as well. But initially I think that that kind of revolution is going to come more from screen entertainment and linear than it probably is from interactive, just because it's easier, right? Yeah, so I fundamentally and philosophically agree. Yeah, practically it's a little, I think like in the, if the studios are going to share assets, right? Like decentralized digital asset management, there's sort of an honesty policy amongst them, right? Because today with the technology, I can take a 3D asset off chain and it's, even if it is encrypted on the other end, which it never is, I can pass that around, use that and then it's gone, right? There's no remuneration for anybody that's involved in that process, right? So if that, there were several artists that were there and they produced some asset together, now it's gone, right? It just, it's like if I go and bought it from one of these, you know, marketplaces, right? And so if I bought it from a 3D asset marketplace, I can share it and it's on torrents and so forth. So I do, and even Roy and I talked about this last year, which was, I do think that there needs to be some form of digital rights management that has to be bound to these assets. And gaming is seriously complicated because we need to be able to load these assets real time, right? And we need to be able to load the appropriate LEDs. And we don't want to be wasteful. We don't want to load LEDs we're not going to use. And so there has to be, it's just, it's a different use case, right? But I think fundamentally the same technology can serve all purposes. But we're just not there yet, right? I mean, secure, you know, and by the way, anybody can ask questions at any time, better here. But secure storage and digital asset management, I mean, here's the thing. What makes you think you can secure it that I can't get it? It's not impervious, right? Because I can, I can, I can't crack Netflix's DRM, but I can scrub and make a copy of it, right? Of the entire film. So, but what it does is it creates this, like, you know, fundamental legal liability, right? That you have made the effort to circumvent the security that's in place. And, you know, that's fundamentally what digital rights management does. I mean, it slows down the process. And, but nothing to date, I have not seen any technology that can't be defeated and bring in quantum computing and, you know, the entire blockchain is decrypted. Yeah, I have a question. It's not like the cubes we threw around before, but it's good. Now that I've embarrassed myself thoroughly. So on the digital, I'm sorry that we came in late in case you already addressed this, the on the digital rights management issue of assets. I'm wondering, I've been thinking about this in a broader way as well about like a post-truth world, a post, you know, economics in this way world. Like, what does it mean? Is it possible for a world where, like I was inspired by Europe specifically about the fan economy and the creative economy and that, isn't it possible for people who are enjoying the content to reward the people who are creating the content?  I wonder if a fear-based economy is preferable to a fan economy where people are, you know, paying, you see the entire economy is creating ridiculous things, which would be ridiculous to me, not to them, rewarding people who created it without the threat of, you know, law on top of them. You ever use Patreon? Sure. Ta-da! Yeah. That's, I mean, that's the whole point of it. Yeah, but I'm talking about DRM though. You guys are talking about legal liability. What you specifically were saying was like a certain liability that was created on you because you copied an ethnic film that they can sue you. So mine wasn't more, it wasn't really from that perspective. That's why I'm asking, yeah. Well, I mean, I think what we were, what I was trying to get across is the idea of having 20, 25, 30, maybe 100 people having had an influence in a single asset that's involved over time. So it's not really about saying, well, who's going to get caught out. And I think you're right that there has to be a social contract between people. It's a different paradigm where people are willing to sort of say, okay, on a pay-per-view basis, I'm going to be receiving micro, micro, micro remuneration for my role in having created whatever tiny percentage of that particular thing that's being viewed has been. But because it's so ubiquitous and because many people are looking at it, other people are influencing it, that there is some mechanism through which, individual creators, contributors can be remunerated somehow. That I think is the most interesting point to me is if you, I'm sorry, because I missed the early part of the conversation, but if you are talking about blockchains and some kind of real true ledger on which you can track the contributions of so many people, like you look at the writer strike and all these things happening, then you truly could have the fans or the people consuming the content rewarding directly the people who are creating the content as opposed to the current fear-based economy in which still the artists don't get paid and the studios and whoever is involved are getting all the, you know, running all the way out to the bank. So I feel like there is that the case always gets made for artists are getting screwed. Let's do digital DRM copyright, take down all this stuff. And at the end, we are still not any closer. You know, like we did Napster and now we have Spotify. So I just feel like whenever people get into this conversation, I like to bring back to reality of like the philosophy of DRM and then the reality of the world we live in. Spotify is a different pair of time, right? Like artists are compensated, right? It's tracked. There's legal agreements in place. So you weren't here for it, but I did say I agree with decentralization and compensating creators, right? And giving ownership to users. So let me ask you a question. If you spent a considerable amount of time creating this amazing avatar, right? You designed it yourself. I'm going to cut out generative AI for a second because it'll change some things. But let's say you spent a lot of time on that or you spent a lot of money buying that avatar. How are you going to feel about the fact that you've amassed millions of followers, right?  How are you going to feel if suddenly the Metaverse is full of your avatar, right? I think that is exactly the question at the heart of this is people keep asking about like someone is copying you and that is stealing and that is like somehow like this loss. Like I feel like there is the opposite, which is they are your fans. Like these are the people that you inspired. They're not leaving you for the other person. And I would say I'd be pretty happy about that as long as I got a micro-remuneration for everybody every time that somebody had used my image, right? And again, you know what you were saying too. Sorry, just one really quick point with Spotify. The problem with Spotify is that it doesn't actually do the full decentralizing. It pays the rights holder for the music who in turn keeps an unnecessary piece. So the record label gets paid by Spotify who in turn keep all of that stuff and pay the artist. And what we're saying here is if you imagine a Spotify where the seven people and the musicians who actually played on the track all you know like imagine every time you listen to Spotify the middle man was disintermediated and it did pay the 13 people who actually had a role in the creation of that track, right? That's because Spotify I think is not really the right parallel what we're talking about because it's still got the middle men in there who are greedy along the way. And we're trying to sort of imagine this utopia where there's a direct consumer-creator relationship without those folks in the middle. Sorry, it didn't mean to jump in. I think there's a bit of an interesting point in there because when we're talking specifically the example of say you've got like your special FDRS like a Twitch streamer and you see a bunch of other people using the FDRS. Well, I would say in personal experience talking to these people who didn't Twitch streaming, YouTube streaming they probably just wouldn't care because in the end like that's not particularly their business. And I think that for a big part what we are missing with like these digital contracts as well is for the most part it seems to me like most people don't seem to really care about the very strict enforcement part rather they just want the people who are playing in good faith to be able to track this stuff and to do the payment because as I showed you in my presentation we've got fans that are very, very passionate very willing to reward these creators entirely through the nations. So I think the actual like the programmatically tracking part of smart contracts is I think we're going to see a lot of positive reception to that but there are a lot of problems with the way we're currently approaching it with blockchain in the way the implementation work and I think a lot of creators also say like well I think the developer truly perfectly enforced this so why are we having this gigantic overhead with a bunch of additional people in between and a bunch of additional costs in between? One of the things that actually came up in the conversation that I had today was one of the questions I hit somebody in the audience which was about likeness and the ability to protect it so you know I dressed in a particular outfit I've got you know the red furry hat and the big fly things and the polka dot of boots and I put it out there and I'm streaming the things of people that actually know that outfit you know of what I wear and then all of a sudden other people just decide I'm going to dress like that too and I'm going to try and you know change that identity you know mess with that identity somehow steal that identity of what it is is it really protectable? How does that come into play? Are you taking revenue out of their pockets? How does that there's a lot of avenues that come along with it because and here's the thing even if those intellectual property pieces you know the hat gloves whatever it is even if they bought them off the store and in fact they combined them together to create that unique outfit is that protectable? How far does it go? At what point? At what scale? So there's actually a lot more questions that go along with it and then how do you kind of enforce that? I think that was a great question I think but my opinion which may be the dumbest but I thought about this stuff my opinion would be what is this whole talk about protection and like I feel like that is the biggest like that is what they use just be clear this is the language that the business people use so let's just not muddy the water with like protection like the artists are not being protected with any of this it's the people like if you were truly to bring a community of artists together none of them if they have the artist spirit which they would not be the people saying let's sue people for wanting to be like me and this whole idea of you know trademarking and patterning and trying to sue people over this shit is not coming from this coming from the business people who know they can make a lot more money on top of artists work so I just want to clarify like I don't think that is the case like I am so happy to hear those two differing views together on the panel because I wasn't expecting to hear that I do need to of course say that like my perspective that I've had I've been very lucky to talk to a large group of twitch streamers youtubers but I do need to with that clarify of course that I do not have the entire picture and mostly it's like more on the gaming feature besides and even with that it's just a small subset of it so I cannot speak for everyone I do need to add that I can just give a bit of context of the people I know sorry I mean there's a couple of good examples right where it works quite well even in the current situation or in the current scenario current format where I think you know again if you use these things as examples as to how it can become more democratized more open to individual creators more smaller things right so for example you know like everybody knows I'm a big Maiden fan, Iron Maiden right and it always comes to Iron Maiden but there's a band called the Iron Maidens there's about seven or eight different Iron Maiden tribute bands Iron Maidens being an all female Iron Maiden tribute band and they do that with the full blessing of the band and the band likes it because every time they play you know they get royalties from the songs there's publishing rights all these kinds of things similarly I think with things like Guitar Hero if you think of the success particularly for guys like Slash I mean you know it's talking about iconic silhouettes like Jamiroquai very iconic silhouette Alice Cooper obviously very iconic makeup right and so those things I think have been the preserve of bigger companies that were able to look at that and go actually this is in the interest of the artist to a certain degree because by licensing those things out so again I think what we're talking about here is a much more democratized situation where even smaller smaller artists can enjoy the same kind of benefits by using automated smart contract in my opinion right and so it's no longer the preserve of somebody that happens to be on you know like Geffen or Warner Brothers it can be those types of opportunities become a lot more democratized and open for a lot more people and if we can achieve that then it starts to become a much more you know caring environment and so I agree with you when you look at it you say well obviously the incumbents have got a lot to lose if we manage to democratize this direct consumer audience sorry creator audience relationship right and they're trying to hold on to it but anyway so I will say that there is a distinction between appreciation and impersonation right and so you can appreciate a band and you know play cover songs now impersonation and this is probably getting ahead of Royals questions here but with the standard of AI being something of a game changer here I hate that word um yeah that's like my least favorite word in the world the I think um I'd love to live in this utopian world where it didn't matter right but people to your point need to be compensated for their work and so whether that is an individual whether that is a company it doesn't matter right if you create something you should be compensated for it right and so it yes just throw it in the public domain if you want if you don't want but why are you putting on the blockchain if you right if you don't want to be compensated for it right I'm going to throw a complete monkey wrench into this so you might want to finish this up I did want to uh I did want to add on to that a little bit I think there is a lot of developers who are vocal about this which is that in open source we're not really seeing a lot of the um of the money come back to the open source developers who are enabling a lot of stuff right now and it's the same problem as with the with actors not getting royalties for the stuff they're doing and I think that's like it's a lot of cool overlaps there but it's also really interesting is taking me back to the content creators a lot of them are saying like well we're using all this existing IP content we don't really have permission to use it the only reason we get to use it is because the companies just aren't going after us and it's kind of like this kind of gray market area they would benefit quite a lot from having certainty on that I want to hear the monkey wrench okay so the monkey wrench is coming completely away from creatives and let's talk about industrial metaverse let's talk about 3D assets in that realm where VRM isn't so much about room variation and paying the creatives it's about hey this factory that is in you know an industrial metaverse situation and how do you validate life safety things so that that factory may get copied and used as a model for another factory and how do you make sure that that doesn't get changed how do you make sure that you know there's not intellectual property that's stolen from you know efficiencies in factory it's like it's the same things you folks are talking about but more along the lines of how do you protect kind of the not the creative look and feel so much but the way things operate in reality right physics all that stuff it's kind of funny when you bring that up because what's a little more scary than that is what if I replicate the same exact factory and I put it into the site and I redirect you and you think you're actually controlling the factory in the meanwhile you're doing something to somewhere else or having no effective ability to do it right that's the digital twin piece right is how you control the IoT that the IoT sensors are actually feeding back from the thing that you think they're feeding back from right in the digital twin yeah so in other words you're you're basically you know somewhere there's a pressure gauge that's going off the roof you know going off the the rails and you're like oh I just need to turn this knob over here but the problem is you're not even in your digital twin that you should be and as a result that thing's going to blow itself apart because you didn't realize you weren't even there in the right place because it was an exact copy and this game when you don't know you're fighting about yeah so you mentioned what if that like I'm wondering what if as opposed to like so what if you do that which is fraud and criminal already if you you know do this like create a factory you go to jail or something like there's already laws for this yeah who's gonna prosecute fraud no who's gonna where are you gonna get prosecuted for what for creating a factory like and endangering people yeah what jurisdiction this is not about intellectual property I'm talking about intellectual property as being ridiculous we're not talking about intellectual property what is the what is being done here is it like you build a factory that like does Tesla's work and makes more cars for people and cheaper cars or are you doing something that damages and hurts people if you're doing something that hurts people you go to jail for or you could get prosecuted for hurting people if you are creating cheaper cars by using some technology that was you know proprietary they're making cheaper cars and the people who are making cheaper cars for won't want you to be prosecuted so you better be in a country where you're not gonna get prosecuted yeah you're focused on the IP I want to hear your comment you're focusing on the IP angle I think I'm more focused on what Royal is saying which is it's the life safety pieces of it right which is that do you know that that digital twin is the one that you think it is and it's it's a to me it's a different use case in the renumia renumia I can't even say that renumeration use case it's more along the lines of how do you how do you validate the the proveness of something that it is what it what you say it is legitimacy that's the word I was looking for I think to one to some degree my personal answer to that would be to some degree at the very least making sure it's on your own servers because there is like when you're introducing another third party like it's introduced a whole bunch of lists of different issues as well but also we have going to like what do we have right now we have a large collection of pretty good approaches to making sure that whatever server you're talking to is a server you think it should be there are this and that's such an incredibly complex topic with so many ways for to make like really subtle mistakes where absolutely disaster stuff can happen and I would say like being able to go after it after the fact from like a legal perspective is one thing but like in the very moment if you're turning the wrong knob people's lives are at risk incredibly critical to get that right so I'm not going to mention anything legal for the rest of this session so in the industrial metaverse it's still decentralized right and so if you have the putting on your own server thing is kind of nice in concept but in practicality not so much right because one we in the cloud we got the cloud right to their supply chain or in certain you know you may have multiple companies that have their parts of this supply chain right and so some something may be happening with a set of digital twin of some part of the factory and some widgets are made and that entire factory all the sensors are being streamed back to the digital twin and there is some partnership between these different companies to be able to streamline process within the digital twin space and this sort of thing and so you still need this you still need some form of protection in my opinion to be able to ensure not just the like company secrets you certainly don't want someone to be able to just go and there's this you know shared network let's say as a federated network and not a decentralized network there's these assets in there to be able to see them and to be a pull sensor data or whatever so we need encryption it's a foregone conclusion but identity decentralized identity right we have this sort of untrusted network and everybody should be able to access what they need out of there and validate it with you know zero proof type scenarios and I think that's what helps sort of the industrial metaverse is that like we don't necessarily need to trust everybody but we can trust what we're getting is legitimate right and valid I think it's kind of interesting if you think some of the talks today that were brought up was that the identity model of being able to have you communicate with an endpoint and instead of it going from kind of like the issuer to you to the validator coming back the reality is that by you being able to work directly with it and creating a secure channel itself is probably going to be your only means of making sure you have a secure environment because if you trust the server it's not like you've seen the big metaverse padlock you know on our browser okay you haven't seen one of those so I think the fact of having digital identity mixed along with what you're trying to get an identity to create that secure channel that's not just a generic HTTPS is going to be essential because when somebody can pierce that veil you could be sent anywhere especially if you're using a distributed cloud environment which is going to send you to whatever node is open and available you can't guarantee it's going to be on a server because of course I've got thousands of other people running the same facility so I think the digital identity and being able to secure a channel of communication is probably going to be one of the most essential elements and I think your point is valid which is that having it on your own servers is nice but it doesn't scale right we're at the point to be able to do this to Matt's point it needs to be federated it needs to be able to scale it needs to be able to be in the cloud and it needs to be something that you can be 100% sure that's the digital twin that you are actually working with and interacting with yeah I think one point with just one moment we're going to get to you just one one thing one thing we said that's interesting like when I say on your own server that doesn't necessarily mean your own hardware but also of course being other issues bringing in by having it be a spatial interface which is not only do you need to make sure you're talking to the correct server you also need to make sure that the dial you're looking at isn't being like that there's not like a little dial being rendered over that by the little camman board app that's being used in the room next over or the or the fact that imagine if the copy of what it is isn't really in front of you but is behind you a spatial environment I could put your feet behind you and you don't even know it's there but yet you're in the same place so there's just quickly one on that topic so there's one piece of this equation that I didn't mention which is like contracts like multi-sig contracts so where you come into an agreement with X number of different parties right this is what allows you to to basically execute that contract that might be tied to the encryption and being able to decrypt only the parties that are involved have the ability to decrypt the right and maybe the data streams that are you know going to Kafka or whatever are encrypted you know point-to-point encryption perhaps but the actual assets and the ability to when we think about like digital assets I mean this can be other things too right not just 3D rendered objects right and so it could be anything that you want to allow in a third party to access right and so I think we need to I don't want to get too far off the topic but there's in the industrial metaverse there's certainly other applications and other things that we can share between trusted parties so we got one last question since I don't want to run too far over time do you have a question I have many questions don't we all but do you have the answers I probably have the answers for one I'm a kung fu teacher so when you're talking about perception flipping things around on people that's actually a neuro-training technique and it is learnable the elements that we talked about in you not knowing where you were in regards to accessing one terminal which may be accessing a false terminal we have and I kind of had this question a little bit earlier with the IBM gentlemen one from the blockchain side and one from the quantum side and my question to them was assuming within the next three or four years quantum computing chainsaws the encryption that blockchain uses who will be leading blockchain tech in the future will it be blockchain technologist or quantum technologist since the question never got answered I'm assuming that was the answer I believe that one of the elements that are missing in this first and foremost in regards to metaverses we have a host of building information modeling and CAD and elevation knowledge and domain expertise which is 100% absent from this trying to work with them is just going to give you a smattering of proprietary tools which don't overlap as far as security goes we don't have multi-sig but we don't have multi-GP rendering across parties so every person will have a full copy of whatever model or 3D asset you've produced and a memory dump will extract if blockchain or encryption or not a lot of the missing elements in the blockchain side exist with this concept called oracles but they lack the computer vision to be able to say this is the thing I see it I move because I'm doing change detection every frame and every pixel is being monitored so being able to compensate with this inability of differentiating whether or not you're looking at security fidelity or security noise I think needs to be compensated by possibly a new internet because I'll give you a little bit of really really old school background there was a concept called freaking it's not a sexual reference the exactly so that was enabled and then stopped it was enabled because 2600 hertz in-band signaling process would be triggered and you could then control the phone lines at some point that became out of band signaling and there was no more red boxes there was no more freaking there was nothing like that if you look at the internet we still have in-band signaling on internet we only have out of band signaling on extra nets so at this point you can have an AI on your network that can simulate you now we're getting towards to the nitty-gritty where you don't want to be for example I run a discord server so a lot of people like to pretend they're me and then go after other users discord itself has no internal facility for me to be able to say hey no that guy's not me and I think that's what's missing on our internet yeah there's you get like five questions there by the way we're going to start for the first one cat and mouse game old school doesn't matter so your answer who wins quantum vs blockchain give you a hint nobody you know why because quantum will be block and then somebody will be quantum and it's a never-ending race so the answer of why it's neither is because neither can be winners because whoever the next generation of what we don't know and don't understand will become the next winner who will become that infinite loop and we know this it's the common argument we do have the general statement that there are no unhackable systems I am one of the creators of an unhackable drone system that uses quantum entanglement until somebody breaks it that's the problem with your statement is that you said it was unbreakable but that's not the case because that is improbable but what is the probability of breaking Heisenberg uncertainties that at some point we've hit a wall that we're not going to break for another thousand years what you know well there's an old joke what is the how secure is that system it's as secure as a five dollar wrench that's the xkcd I mentioned that one a little bit earlier I said if I hit you in the head with a hammer a couple of times and ask you for your pin code which is more effective that or your encryption right I forget what your other questions were so the other question was when you were we need a new internet we need computer visual oh the video payload that one's easy to address so here's the funny thing I actually did an experiment back in 2000 on this and what I did was I had multiple machines and you don't even know this this is a really cool one but I had multiple machines that were running GPUs and what I was doing was I was actually taking each one and split the scene into objects I had rendered the scene past the video put the overlay behind it rendered the next one on the next machine with an iframe delay and then send it the next and the next and the ultimate result was I rendered a full 3D frame with four different machines that were near real time of graphics across the distributed environment and then we had to do a video payload of video to accomplish it so can you do it yes so your point is well taken you're paralyzing a workload and that's an amazing way of creating efficiency but what I'm saying is assuming we've broken this encryption assuming we have a computer memory profile but we have what we have as a DRM 3D model so now if you look at all the 3D models they don't include, hey, how can a GPU render this without compromising the internal structure in such a way that it can just be copied? I mean, reality is that when you're talking about those objects, still set of vector coordinates of where you do that. Exactly, so the primitives fall down into something that's very easy to copy, just like... Sure, it always is. That's the thing. And you were saying like CAD-CAM and not being able to translate that, but the reality is that those all translate across anyways. I mean, we do that all the time now with the so's...  We give it an S. And so we do that for modeling because that's how we strip them down into 3D models that we 3D print with. And they all start from base... I mean, you can get them from either or. So doing that translation is super easy. You don't even need to do... Literally, you can use the ASIMP library that's open source to do the whole thing and call it a day. So CAD-CAM, translation, 3D objects, all that stuff. We've got that now. That's a breeze. And as for when you're talking about DRM and that, you didn't say that the parallelization of the GPU had to have a decrypted payload in between because I can replicate the same exact payload of four different machines with the same key existent in a private public key type system and accomplish that task without having to do any kind of corruption. But you can also do a multi-carded computation. Well, sure, same machine, but it's a matter of whether you're doing it in a distributed environment, which is kind of like when you start doing sharded environments for large-scale replication of objects within a simulated space. Because, you know, if you want to do it, let's just say you're doing large-scale simulation in a space and I've got 1,000 people. And our big problem here is that the compute has to be distributed. So how would I do that? Well, I would get a whole lot of memory that can hold all of it and I'd put it on a box. And then I would turn around and page back that entire thing and I'd pass the memory pointer, that shared page memory into nine different instances that have a certain number of CPUs to it and I would allow it to float as a system machine to machine, basically harvesting and slicing it as the compute load moves from place to place but have a zero latency because I'm doing it all in line on the same memory map spot. And then I can replicate objects in and out of band through network replication. And there you go. That's millions of things moving in and out with an efficient memory model that actually does that. So, same thing plays when you're talking about scaling GPU objects. Right, well, I mean, we start to lose some of the efficiency abilities that you can do with those things as you start to add security to it. My question was, or my comment was really more related to the multi-sig primitive doesn't really exist outside of wallet. It doesn't exist for a 3D model, an avatar, an asset, audio. No, none of that exists today, right? We were talking a little bit earlier about how the system that is in place, like blockchains, I'm not even convinced that blockchains will scale to the metaverse, right? I think like direct basic like graph is superior technology and that's the kind of direction we have to take, right? We can have blockchains in the metaverse, right? There's no harm in that. But do you think there's going to be like one blockchain to rule them all? I'm not mentioning any of the company. You know, that's not going to happen. And so it doesn't exist today, right?  Are we going to do cloud-side rendering, right? And if we do cloud-side rendering, let's say, then we pull an asset, 3D asset off the chain and then we decrypt it, right? Through that multi-sig contract, we have this asset here, we're going to render it and now we're sending a DRM encrypted video stream down to the client, right? Which is, that's a harder task to defeat because you're just getting a two-dimensional image at the client-side, right? Or you're getting frames, exactly, right? Right, right. And so that's probably a more robust model, but is that, I don't know what, you know, client-side computation is going to be in the future, right? And then I think it goes back to your point about whether or not in the majority of cases, majority of people, do they really want to be so nefarious that they deny the original creator of the asset from the money that we all believe they should be paid, right? So to a certain degree. What I've finally understood is, like, the security aspect of it. Like, you're running as Amazon in the warehouse or whatever you're doing while you're in prep for it and you're working with Digital Twin only, you need to secure all your assets. That's a different problem than worrying about copying of renders or copying of, like, the 3D model. Like, that's an irrelevant issue. You got a copy of the shelf store. Like, that's not the point. The point is, like, securing that it's the correct information. That's a different question than someone got an asset and now they're in their house, this 3D printed Amazon warehouse shelf. Those are two very different problems. So I just want to clarify this. We're discussing the modeling two different ways. One is about protocol. You could just entirely achieve it by encryption and to an encryption that zero-proof stuff. Keep in mind one thing you're talking about, 3D assets and all the stuff in the metaverse of what we're doing, right? Everybody's going to have a copy of it anyways, whether it's encrypted or not encrypted. The only thing that stops it is the lack of presentation from the server side and the coordinate. If I don't give you TRS coordinates of where that thing is in space and I'm running around with everybody else and I don't tell you where that hat fits on my head, that hat could be in no man's land and you will never see it because if the server never transmits the identity or the coordinate space of what you're supposed to see, it never transmits. You never see it. You're the only one who sees it on your local computer because the server has to transmit the coordinate space to the other 1,000 people on the actual server to actually see it show up. It has to be tracked and sent to you in real-time and coordinate space. So keep that in mind. You can have a copy of all this stuff. It only becomes a problem when everyone else can see it. When you're the only one who sees it, nobody cares. But no one else would see it because you wouldn't transmit it. That's the point. My point is that we're so worried about the asset on the hard drive that's not the worry point. The worry point is actually how do you keep it from the replication system? My point is precisely that we're talking about a problem that isn't even a thing because most likely, like you said, the very first point, if you hosted that information on your own server or something very centralized, most people would do that. There is no reason to put that information, the most critical online.  But I was just saying, two very different problems. One is about securing that you're seeing the right true picture. The other is the asset being copied. And one last, I guess, last thoughts and last comments are definitely murdering our overtime here. It's a good conversation, but you guys can finish up. Yeah, just to finish my thoughts on that, it's like the idea of like, well, put on your own server, you can put anywhere else. Well, the actual data, I would say, is like one of the very large issues we're getting right now already with the internet is delivering just huge swaths of data all across the internet to all around the world. And while at a certain point, you just like, if you're hosting stuff yourself, you just do not have the resources to deliver dead volumes of data and it's going to get even worse. And we're essentially getting the entire world in something that's the equivalent of a high-end video game. I'll say one quick thing, which is if we're designed, if we're building the Metaverse for a single-use case, we're in trouble, right? What do you got, James? I'll say one thing. Thank God for Hazy Pale Ale. That's all you got. Thanks a lot, everybody.


We have come down to the final four the AFC Championship will be represented by the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs The Chiefs have won 12 of their last 13 games the only loss the Cincinnati Bengals by a field goal The Bengals find themselves here after playing tough defense against the number one C tenancy Titans The Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in an overtime classic both of the teams have a lot of momentum going into this game Anything could happen between these two teams I really struggled between who is going to win and I really wanted to look into the offensive and defensive stats for these teams For the 2021 season. So if we break that down even further, we got the Bengals offense We're looking at 13th all the Chiefs offense is third in the lead However on defense the Bengals led by Trey Hendrickson late led by Sam Hubbard led by Logan Wilson A lot of these guys that have really stepped up in 2021 They're 18th ranked as opposed to the Kansas City Chiefs defense Even though at times they could look good when the competition gets tough They do tend to give up a lot of yards and a lot of points. That's where they're ranked 27th For the league. So that's that's breaking down the stats and now we asked you guys on social media Who do you guys feel like is going to win as well as giving you our prediction and here are the results Very very very tight race between you guys and the viewers on social media 51% like in the Bengals 49% like in the Chiefs I mean we took a poll probably a hundred and fifty two hundred people on social media and it came down to Legit probably like eight or nine votes between the two like it was very very close Determining who's going to win this game? Our heart is telling us to pick the Bengals. We want to see the Bengals succeed and we do feel like since they beat the Chiefs earlier We think that they can do it again. However, the Chiefs a very tough team do not count them out I will not be surprised if the Chiefs were to win this game. That's why we have it very close We have the Bengals winning by two So if you guys that pick the spreads Kansas City minus seven that might be the smartest choice because it's gonna be a very very close game I feel like But moving on over to the NFC championship between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams The 49ers have it up on the Rams 2-0 this season Against LA trying to make a 3-0 in a clean sweep as the motion by Debo Samio earlier this season For the Rams, they beat the Buccaneers to beat the areas of Cardinals They beat the Cardinals in extreme fashion They dominated the Buccaneers from the majority of the game and most people are regarding the Rams as the most well-balanced team in the NFL thus far in the post-season For the 49ers, Dark Horse Contenders We've been talking about them being Dark Horse Contenders all season long and finally if they're getting a lot more credit Let's just admit that the 49ers instead of saying that they're the underdog, which they are Let's just go ahead and admit that they are a great team Like beating the Packers beating the Cowboys being the Rams in three straight games to get to this point And we want to do the same where we break down the stats So let's go ahead and break it down even further for the 49ers You may not believe it, but they have a top 10 offense And the reason why you may not believe it is because a lot of people look at the quarterback and it's like Oh, would you make a raw flow? He's not that good of a quarterback. So they can't have a top 10 offense Well, when you have Debo Samuel that's up there as far as scrimmage yards in the NFL When you have a great run game on top of that as well You're gonna have a seventh ranked offense for the Rams They're top 10 as well obviously and on the defensive side of the ball the 49ers have really stepped it up They're a top three as opposed to the Rams. They give up a lot of big plays in the secondary So they're only 17th in the NFL Now here's the thing. We took the poll on social media This one was not as close as the other ones, but let's just go ahead and show you the results We got the Rams here winning 70% favoring the LA Rams while only 30% is favoring the San Francisco 49ers We're taking the Rams to winning this one as well. I know we picked against the 49ers all postseason long So i'm not going to be surprised given that the 49ers beats the Rams two times this year We won't be surprised if the 49ers win however to win three times In a row against a team that is better than you that is very very tough to do The Rams the spread minus three and a half. That is what I am picking So seems like we agree between the Rams between the Bengals So if all of our predictions come correct if your predictions come correct If our predictions come correct, then this is the Super Bowl matchup that you have to look forward to Between the Rams and the Bengals for Super Bowl 56 What a matchup that would be honestly any matchup 49ers chiefs Rams chiefs Bengals 49ers all of them all of them could be good potential games. Leave your comments Leave your thoughts down below. I'd love to hear your thoughts and your opinions on who do you believe personally is going to make the Super Bowl And would you like to see the Rams or the Bengals?

another day in the life of the teacher mom vlog. So today is Monday November 16th and I am just getting ready to leave the house. It is like 6 10. I am on a cruise to Starbucks this morning because I am out of coffee and I am out of creamer. Luckily though I do have some leftovers for lunch from Thai chili. So I am going to take that. Today is my formal pre-conference for my observation which is Thursday so I am a little bit nervous for that. Normally I am not really too nervous about observations and evaluations and things like that but because I am at a new school with a new principal and all new administrators is a little bit nerve wracking especially because I haven't really seen my administrators. Like our school is K through 8 and so they have a lot of things going on like I can imagine they have a lot going on and also the whole like pandemic thing they're just not coming into rooms like they would normally do because from what I've been told if they're not worried about you like they think you can handle it and they like aren't worried about you being like I don't know how to explain this like if they think you're okay and they don't need you to walk through then you won't see them. Like if you're doing a good job you won't see them so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go well but it's just hard because like when you don't see your administrator you don't really know what to expect from them as an evaluator. Like if they'd come in a few times and say hey your room looks great or hey like I love what I saw then you would kind of know what to expect. I have no idea what to expect so as soon as I get to school I need to email my principal my lesson plan my near pod and then all of the papers I go along with the lesson which I have not created all of them yet so I'm gonna hurry up and do that. I also have a student council meeting today and today is the first council meeting that we have with our officers that have been elected so I need to push a schedule out to those officers so that they can help me run the meeting so that has a whole nother ball game and then yeah I will walk you guys through my day. I got a new gym bag super fancy from TJ Maxx it was like $10 but it's nice because I was taking my little tape spade backpack and that thing is falling apart so I got a new gym bag super cute I can carry it around with me put all my stuff in it it's great I'm good to go so I need to pack my pre-workout I like the alani new pre-workout my favorite flavor is the Hawaiian shaved ice I love it I keep it in my fridge it helps to keep it a little bit it helps to keep it fresher a little bit longer just gonna plop that in there and then I'm getting ready to get out of here I think I might get breakfast at Starbucks I don't normally eat breakfast but my belly is hungry today so I'll probably just get some egg bites but I'm on my way look at all of this crap so something that I've been doing you guys to help kind of keep myself like balanced and managing all the things I do is I keep this laundry basket in the back of my car and inside of it I have like random stuff pull-ups for if cash has like some major accidents and I don't have any extra clothes workout clothes are in here I have toilet paper I have swim diapers for when we do swimming towels we do swimming every Thursday and so in order to keep myself like prepared for everything I just keep like stuff in the back of my car for every activity that we do so that for some reason I forget something I'm covered so I need to put this in here so it doesn't spill and then that I think I have everything ready to go I don't exactly know why this is but I am one of those people that doesn't decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving I'm not hating on anybody who decorates early but I will tell you I did put a Christmas Olaf in my front yard yesterday because I have a three-year-old oh my gosh a three-year-old who desperately wanted to put Olaf out in the front yard yesterday it's just fun I'm driving through like the neighborhood and seeing all the cute little Christmas decorations and I'm like I really want to decorate for Christmas but I also know that I have like next week sorry this week and then next week is Thanksgiving so I'll just wait until next week um so I'm on my way to Starbucks my little commute to Starbucks is probably like five minutes I always always use my app in order I run in and pick up and it ends up taking me like a 10 minutes total in my like whole trip and that just kind of depends like on if my drink is ready I tried going on November 1st and I think that was the day of like a holiday drink and cup situation and I was there until like 7 15 and I was like no we can't be doing this herbs now I'm a happy camper although I don't have anywhere to put it because all my cup holders are full because I went on a little road trip over the weekend and now I have stuff all right what did I get today I got a Trenta iced coffee with vanilla classic and soy milk tastes a little burnt but that's okay it's coffee it's gonna give me the caffeine I need okay it is now 6 36 which means I will probably get to school at like 6 40 which is great for me because I have so much to do today so um we have officially had I think it's one confirmed adult COVID case at our school no I do not know who it is they told us if we had any close contact with this adult that we would have been contacted so that was like last week or something and so I know that I haven't had any contact with that adult so my entire homeroom is back I do not have a single child that is out isolating or anything now at this point from my home room however from my second class I do have I think three and then one from my third class that is now an isolation isolation is different than quarantine isolation means that they have a or multiple symptoms of the you know what and they are awaiting a negative test result to be able to come back to school so they do have to isolate for 10 days or they can come back sooner if they get a negative test so that has become very frustrating because I am at this point teaching hybrid learning because I'm having to provide multiple students with virtual assignments luckily though they can take their computers home but it is becoming quite a task so I do allow them to google meet in I think I mentioned this before but they can join my google meet in the morning and then they can sit in on live lessons and get live instruction so that's really nice but it is really difficult to provide them with like an online version of what we're doing especially if it's like paper copy like because I get my kids a lot of stuff to glue into their notebooks and so if the kids are not there I can't give them what they need to glue in their notebooks and I don't want to make a virtual copy because then they're not going to have another notebook when they come back so that's been tough I do however provide the office like I'll send a paper copy up to the office and I'll just let the parent know like hey there's a paper copy of something in the office if you don't mind grabbing it or I'm fine with them waiting till they come back to get it and then I put pictures of everything we put in our notebooks up on google classroom so they could potentially like catch up and fill that in if they need to so this week I am starting to teach weathering and erosion again so this is a topic that I did cover online in the first quarter I think it was one of the very first things that I taught however I still have a lot of students that don't know what weathering and erosion is and they don't know the difference between the two so I think it's a really important topic especially for fourth grade science since they are tested on it um they need to know it so today and tomorrow I will teach vocabulary and basic information Thursday is my observation day and we're going to do an erosion cookie lab so I really want to get the kids hands on seeing erosion weathering in person and then the next day I will do my own demonstration of weathering and erosion and I'm going to use a generation genius video usually the first one that gets here every day and it looks like there are plenty of people here before me which is great um so okay things I need before I go in the building mask I need that I need my we do take our temperatures before we can enter the building not like enter the building but like get through the office and um I swear the thermometer in there it doesn't work because I'm always like 92 degrees I'm like um this mask by the way is made by my friend Shannon over at teaching joys she has this really amazing website shop where she makes headbands she's really on the mask train right now um love you Shannon love your masks super thin my glasses don't fog when I wear these so I love that okay first you guys this is the life of a mom right here spilled animal crackers I can't win do you guys so I finally made it in the building it was not without struggle though my hands were so full between coffee and water and water and coffee okay I'm gonna unload stuff here so I got my little eggy bites for breakfast and I don't need anything else out of this purse so I'm gonna put it away this is problematic I've got lunches in here from last week because when they bring me extra lunches we keep them in the fridge in case they like I don't know I guess forget to bring one one of the days but now my fridge won't close so that's problematic okay here we go gout it I need to clean that fridge out okay um to do list this morning I need to type up an agenda for my stuco meeting I need to finish making my items for my observation lesson and then honestly I'm not ready even for today so I'm probably gonna just wing it um we'll see maybe some doodle notes that could take some time so maybe we'll do that which means I need to find and make copies of that I have like a 30 minute study hal time in my third class that I can work on my student council stuff the priority right now is today's stuff because I cannot go on without doing today's stuff also I think my computer is dead so that's fun and see what else I brought home that I didn't use oh all this stuff you guys do that huh take stuff home oh totally gotta work on it nope sure didn't okay let's get this bad boy up thank you starbucks for giving me a knife to eat my you guys so it is now my prep period and this is pretty much the only prep period that I get all week um in my actual classroom so it is um mondays and fridays I get a 40 minute prep time in my actual classroom by myself the other three days a week I have library taking place in here so I pretty much lose that 40 minute time in my classroom I have to go and do it somewhere else so mondays and fridays are like my paradise because I can come in my room sit quietly nobody talks to me and um it's really nice so right now I am working on some other documents for my observation lesson and I'm making a lab page for them to work on and I am going to finish that and then I will probably start planning for next week it has been a very stressful morning moving fast but I did um switch up my vocabulary procedure today and I decided to and I haven't been doing it and I don't know why I guess it's just one more thing that I keep forgetting that I used to do and that is mirror vocabulary and so that's where like I have all the kids stand up and we go through the vocabulary words and I have the kids acted out while we read through them and it's just a lot more fun and engaging for them than just sitting there and reading the vocabulary words so they had already copied them down sorry I'm just pruning myself they had already copied down the words and the definitions so I always do like a closed notes version of vocabulary just because I think it's exhausting for the kids to have to like copy the entire definition um it just takes forever when I can just have them fill in some blanks in the definition and then I have them write the word so they write the word and then they fill in the blanks in the definition and it just takes a lot less time and is easier for my sped kids and my ELL kids and all around it's just better for everybody so um we did that and then when we come back from lunch and recess we're gonna take notes on weathering and the forces that cause weathering and so that is what we're doing today I need to print this and then I'm gonna go pick up some copies at the copy machine so yeah I'll probably see you guys at the end of the day because after this I don't have any more private breaks um I will go eat my lunch in the lounge with a couple other teachers because the kids eat in here and I just like to have my own time to eat and then we have recess outside so um I will probably pick you guys up at the end of my day which is a student council meeting and then my formal observation pre-conference so we'll see how that goes okay ready so we're at the gym um it looks like there's a class getting ready to start so we should probably dip out but uh Nicole's not here today it's just Vanessa and I so um we're probably gonna have to dip but let's bring your little weights with us okay so we're gonna move and um finish our workout here. Cash and I went to Old Navy after the gym and I picked up a couple of sets of Christmas pajamas I had to get a tag removed like the security tag from a t-shirt that we bought a couple weeks ago so we had to get that removed and then I ended up finding some PJs for like 50 off so we grabbed a few of those and just a couple other things that's the gym yeah that's the gymnastics gym um so it is 642 now yeah cash is begging to drive his pop patrol car so we're probably gonna go home and do that for like 10 minutes and then we will run inside and make dinner real fast in fact maybe we'll put your chicken nuggets on while we drive your car and then when we come back they'll be ready should we do that okay that's a good idea um he is begging to drive his car so we'll do like a 10 minute drive I usually just set a timer let him drive it for 10 minutes and then he turns around and then we go back so um you know and then it goes off and then we go back so um then we will eat dinner we will read some stories I want to read the books yeah oh that's the way to school we need to go this way to go home guys I'm exhausted long day um I need to go to Walmart tomorrow and buy all those things from my labs because today I just didn't have the time and I need to get home to eat get myself home to eat I'm starving um tomorrow's new day but I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog and I'm gonna end it right here because things are about to get crazy busy when we get home so thank you guys so thank you guys so so much for watching today's video I hope you enjoyed and cash and I will see you in the next one


How to use at all from EspressoEnglish.net Recently a student sent me this message She said I usually hear questions like this. Do you drive at all or similar and they are very confusing for me I never know if it is a positive or negative question and how to answer it. Could you help me on this? At all means something like anything more than zero or even a little bit. At all is most commonly used in negative sentences. For example, I don't eat pork at all means I don't eat pork not even a little bit. He doesn't exercise at all means he does no exercise zero exercise. The party was no fun at all. That means there was zero fun not even a little. I can't sing at all. That means I have zero singing talent not even a little ability to sing. So that's how to use at all in negative statements. In questions the person is inquiring about any activity even small or infrequent. So when someone asks, do you drive at all? They are asking do you drive even a little bit or even infrequently? So if you ever drive if the amount of your driving is more than zero then the answer would be yes. If you don't drive you never drive you spend zero time driving then the answer to do you drive at all would be no. Here's another example. Did he say anything at all? That means did he say anything even just a tiny or short phrase? If he said something even if it was just one word then the answer to this question would be yes. If he stayed silent then the answer to this question would be no. Let's put it into practice. Leave a comment on this video and fill in these two blanks. I don't like at all. For example, I don't like beans at all or I don't like rock music at all. Remember this should be something that you don't like even a little bit. You completely dislike it. And I haven't and then put an activity at all lately. For example, I haven't studied at all lately if you spend zero time studying in the past few days. Or I haven't watched TV at all lately. Again, if you've spent zero time doing this activity recently. At all is an example of an informal expression. That's a little bit hard to translate, but you'll hear it in spoken English.

The second precedent. Be patient, therefore, beloved, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, as the patient, strengthen the hearts for the coming of the Lord this year. Beloved, do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See the judgment standing in the doors, as an example of supplication. Beloved, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
