Okay, we're back. We're live to give in Monday afternoon. It's the 15th, it's president's day. That's a very special day now. It wasn't so special before it, but it's very special now after all that has happened in the United States. So we are joined by two guests who are both in Nampen. And we're gonna talk today about lessons from the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, very important. And Sam on SOK is with us and Monica Sok, his daughter is with us. And Monica is a member of Project Expedite Justice and Sam is, I guess, of the generation that is extremely familiar with what happened in the killing fields in Cambodia from 1970 to 1979, very important discussion. So we wanna catch up with what Project Expedite Justice has done and is doing and what Sam can tell us about the tribunal there, the place where quite a while in Nampen and Cambodia. So Monica, you first. Can you tell us what Project Expedite Justice is doing, has done with regard to Cambodia and the tribunals and what you are doing for Project Expedite Justice? Okay, so thank you for having me in the show and I would like to greeting the audience as well. And talking about the PEJ, we are not working with related to tribunal, but we, personally I used to work in at the Khmer Rouge Court for almost six years. So I learned from that and I applied to the, I use my own experience and working for PEJ to make sure that the world can use and bring the important things on the documentation and accountability for the crime in transitional justice in process and how we find the truth, how we do the documentation and how we have to the victim through my own experience working at the Khmer Rouge Court. Yeah, so. So what is your immediate interest in the tribunal? Cause it's over, isn't the tribunal over or is it still going on? For the tribunal, it's still going on. Briefly talking about the cases in the tribunal, it's having four cases. It has cases number 01, cases 02, cases 03 and 04. And now cases 01 already finished it, but for the case 02 slash 02 is still ongoing and it will be at the Supreme Court maybe this year and also the other two cases, cases 03, 03 and 04 is still ongoing and is now at the pre-trial stage, yeah. Okay, well my understanding is that project, expedite justice can go anywhere with the idea of investigating and prosecuting or assisting in the prosecution of war crimes and violations of human rights. What is your role in that? Are you a lawyer? Are you an investigator? How are you involved personally? For me, in a work with PEJ project expedite justice, I'm working as the country lead in Cambodia and also in South Sudan. In Cambodia, in South Sudan, I work with the partner, I train and assist them, helping them with investigation and also how to documentations on those evidence and also from those, investigations from our partner. And for in Cambodia, we are not really working based on the international crime, atrophy crime, no, but we work on the, promote on the, doing the same thing, like we train, we assist on investigation but on exactly cases like for example, child abuse, labor exploitation, human trafficking, yeah, something like that. We work close with our NGO partner and also we are not only focused in Cambodia but also we would like to bring all those cases to other countries, like for example, like we are now having cases that we work with the lawyer in French and also UK, Australia, US and Thailand work with the lawyer that could claim for compensation to the WIC team who have been abused from the actions or offender. How do you select the cases, Monica?  Who does the vetting and what are the parameters of your choice? We currently, we only work based on the child abuse and also money laundering if there is and also human trafficking, labor exploitation and how we choose the case. We work with our partner, with NGOs, like we have about 12 partners in Cambodia that mostly when they need our assistance, we always give in hand and we always give the idea, we always give our strategy on litigation cases, both in Cambodia and also the cross-border cases.  Are you a trial lawyer? I also, for PHJ, we do also before the trial, pre-trial, we do like investigation and also do the legal research if the case possible to go to the court. And yeah, this year, I'm a new lawyer, I just admit at the bar. So we plan to handle the case and we work with our partner, Amaran Law Firm, which is with my dad, so we can work on the cases and have those vulnerable victims on, yeah. So there's no reason why a new lawyer can't change the world, I'd like to offer that thought. You don't have to be an old lawyer to change the world. New lawyers are actually more adept at changing the world. Why do you do this, Monica? Why do you do this? Because I want to prove that young lawyer also can change the world. Okay, it's not for the money then, huh? I think it's about a passion because maybe I had a dad and let's say he influenced me maybe, but I really love to work on this thing. I volunteer working on human rights since 2009. So how much effect does your dad's experience have on you? How much of this is because you are Cambodian because your dad was involved in the Khmer Rouge incident of the 1970s? For me, I think maybe, I can say both influenced from my dad and also from my work experience because since I start work as an internship, before, I really don't know. I cannot imagine that I have this day from my work experience, from my view, from what I see, from my own perspective. It's bring me to become a human rights lawyer and want to have those people. Yeah. Let me ask you to introduce your dad, okay? And I'm sure we will find the answer interesting. Here he is, Sam Owensok Cambodian and he lived in Cambodia at a very difficult time. Why don't you introduce him? To be honest, he's my hero and my role model as well. And he's a really great guy, a great lawyer who passionate on human rights and he always gave all his heart to work for people and for justice. Okay. That's a good beginning.  When did you get to be a lawyer? And what have you done? What kind of practice have you had, especially Cambodia? Yeah. In fact, I practiced as a defense lawyer since 1990. So, yeah, right now, more than 30 years. And the defense of whom? Who have you defended? Mostly they are poor people and vulnerable people. And mostly our case is again, the powerful, powerful people. And I also handle mainly political case, especially the weaker, I mean the abuse by the ruling. So, your office is in Nampen? Yes.  But you were also into political things. So, you don't mind, you don't mind speaking up to power then? Okay. Okay. I mean, yeah, in many cases, especially political case, you know, the ruling party, they have strong power. They dominate the judiciary. They dominate the armed forces, et cetera. They all have their power. But for the political case, very few lawyers, they are to handle that case. So, that's why I think, but anyway, in our law, I mean, we respect the right to counsel, right? So, that's why we, actually my organization, we volunteer to help those poor people. Okay. I think some of that rubbed off on your daughter, right? Yeah. So, what about, what about Khmer Rouge now? Yeah. Yeah. I and other and Joe, we are working, we are lobbying to establish this tribunal since 1994, you know, at the time that in some of our people were arrested, arrested because we tried to get something from the people to support the establishment of this tribunal. Okay. And until 1999, at the time, Khmer Rouge not yet dropped the weapons. They are still fighting with the government, you know, so that's why we urge the, at the time we think that it is better for the UN to reinforce this issue. That's why we try to lobby, get the thumbprint from people and send to the United Nations to establish an international court for them. At the time, we not yet to think about how to establish the tribunal in Cambodia. At the time we only think, only we urge the UN to establish a special tribunal to try those top leaders of Khmer Rouge. And in 1997, the boss prime minister, Randred and Hun Sen, they also sent a letter to the Julian to have to establish the tribunal to, to, to block those top leaders for justice. And after that, the Khmer Rouge also talked with the government and he dropped the weapons, you know, so that's why the political need to be changed.  So they, they don't want to try all the top leader on the, on the small top leader. That was interesting. I, I have a recollection that, as you said, there was difficulty in getting the, what do you call it, the E triple C, the extraordinary chambers in the courts of Cambodia together. People didn't get together on it. And it required, where it resulted in organizations like the United Nations outside of Cambodia to actually put this together. And they were, I guess the United Nations was involved and made it happen. Am I right? Yes. At the time the UN's respond and, but, and then after the Khmer would drop the weapon and join the government. So the, the situation is a little bit changed, you know, so the UN urged us only to try a little, a very small top leader. And the UN want to establish the international court at abroad. So, so they, they think that it would be organized in, in Cambodia, maybe the expense is very less. So, yeah. So, and then we think that, okay. Establishment in Cambodia is maybe also useful, you know, because the, maybe if we, if it took abroad, maybe a few people on the, on the educated people who interested know about that, but if we happen in Cambodia, maybe more people to know about that. Yeah, it's not true. Sure. Yeah. And the very important, one important is the, because mosque, not mosques, maybe all of them are people living in proper time. We have, we call Khmer who trauma, because at the time when we talking about Khmer who is about living in, in Khmer with time, we at the time, maybe we have nightmare, we scare something like that, you know. So, but after we know that, okay, these those top reader are try, and we have, they make a normal, Khmer know more power, maybe it can hear the trauma. I, I myself, I also experienced in healing this trauma too. For you were involved. Yes. Yeah.  And, and then 2000, many people know, that they are, the tribunal will be established. Okay. In 2000, in 2000, you know, he's a prime minister of the Khmer, Khmer was a regime. He came to my house. And asked me to defend him. And, and I, and after that, but at the time I denied because we do not know what happened because the tribunal is not yet established. And at the time, I'm very busy in lobby with the. To, to recommend the internet, internet regulation. So that's why I think that if I, I know that I defend him, something like that, maybe I lose my neutrality. So my recommendation may be not so strong. Okay. So that's why I said no, at the time I cannot say anything. We will see if you, if there is no any other lawyer to, to defend you, I, I will, I will consider your request. I said like that. And after that later, did you later represent him? No, no, no. So, what do you think about the triple C? Has it been successful? Has it done what it was intended to do? Has it found the facts? Has it found the, the reason why? Yes. Some success, some, some, I think that some success, some, some small fail. Because, because after that we have some objective for this, for the establishment of this tribunal. One, we want access to justice. Two, we want to know the truth. Three, we want, use this, the establishment of this tribunal to be deterred the future leader, not to do such thing. And for, maybe it is good for education, maybe young generation can know, can understand. And five is to release, release, releasing the trauma. So that's why, after this, after the ECC start their operation, we urge the, June has the outreach program, so that they can, they invite many people, many poor people, or not poor people, many people around the country, especially from the countryside, to visit the tribe, the tribe, so that they can know, oh, my rules, my rules come, it's ended, something like that. So that they can heal their trauma. Yeah. Well, and the last point, you want this tribunal to be a model for the judicial reform in Cambodia. Well, it was, it was an extraordinary time. This was madness. This was opening countrymen for no reason, really, no obvious reason. Anyway, do people understand yet exactly, what kind of social phenomenon this was, that Cambodia would suffer like that, do they understand why this could happen? Did they understand what it, what it did to the country? I, right now, I think, not, still not yet clear we need some analysis, analyze clearly, especially the clear report from, because the trial, the trial do not show any, because only like a human from both sides, something like that, you know. So that's why make, if the people follow trial, maybe they still confused, you know. So I think maybe we need some analysis, take all facts from the trial and then analyze and tell the people what happened, why the Khmer Rouge killed a lot of people like that. So I asked you before the show, and I was surprised to find that the tribunal is still going on. It's not quite done yet. But what is it doing now? Yeah, like Monica said, that means because we have the appeal process. So that means and the defense lawyer, they are very clever. They are all very clever, very good people, the best lawyer in Cambodia and from the other country, you know. So they know how to prolong, you know, because one strategy of the defense of those crimes, those crimes that are used mostly are old people, right? And then their best study, they try to delay until all of them die. Sometimes, this is a joke for lawyer. So where is it going to go, Sam? I mean, how long do you think it will take to wind this up? Because, you know, 1970 to 79 was a long time ago.  And, you know, people forget, they move on, they want to find reconciliation. How long is this tribunal going to go? And what has it got left to do before it ends? Ladies, you know, for the people, in fact, we do not focus on the conviction punishment, you know, only establishment of the tribunal, it is a success. I mean, the purpose is to release, you know, I mean, they can hear, okay. We, maybe very few people care about the result of punishment, about conviction, we do care. But I think that the only establishment is success for us. Good. How do people feel now?  I don't know, this was also the 20th century, wasn't it? And, you know, it's worth studying to prevent it from happening again. And how do people feel? They must all know, even if they weren't there, they must know how traumatic it was. Is Cambodia healed? How does the average Cambodian person feel about what happened now? Are you beyond that? Are you past that? How do you feel about it? We, yeah, like I said, I mean, this trauma can be healed after we know that this regime is dead. So the outreach program tells people, to make sure all people know about this, the people who live in Cambodia with time, they can be here, okay. And right now, I don't think that people still continue to talk about Cambodia. I mean, it's over, you know. I mean, all of us can be healed. What kind of emotional reactions do you have? Are you angry? Yeah, okay. I mean, after 1979, yeah, I feel angry, you know. So that's why I, from 79, I go to the border and join, join resistant folks to fight gang marriages because I don't want the, the communities exist in Cambodia anymore. But after that, and after the establishment, the tribunal, and after I try to follow up the story in the trial, that means Khmeru is over. No more Khmeru. And the people hate communism. Yes. That's part of the whole discussion, isn't it? So what kind of a country is Cambodian now? I know you have good broadband. I wouldn't be able to hear you and see you so well. So that's a good thing. You have a certain amount of technology in Nampen. But what kind of a country is it now? How would you describe it as against other countries in Southeast Asia? Yeah, we, at least we, we a little bit start the democracy. Yeah, but the democracy game is, I mean, the people can play, can play the democracy game. Okay. So, so that's why democracy in Cambodia right now is a little bit bad. Bad because I think that the, the, the ruling parties know, understand very well, you know. So if we, if we compare with Myanmar and Cambodia, our, our ruler, our prime minister very clever, that Myanmar, you know, because my, my prime minister use judiciary, the Myanmar use armed forces is different. But in any way, any way we need time to, I mean, to be a democratic institutions in future. Good to hear. Important. Yeah.  And that includes Southeast Asia was a great future for Southeast Asia. I think that the question that the last question I put to you is, could, could this happen again? Could what happened with the Khmer Rouge happened again? I don't, I don't think so. But it is, it is very, if, if you, you start Zee maybe, but I think that the people know that because during Khmer Rouge time, they, we have no market. Do not use money. And we, we know that it is wrong. It's not good. And they were, the people know that the market is very important. They make us very happy. Okay. So we cannot go back to the same Khmer Rouge regime anymore. But okay. But we need to educate the young people to know constantly, you know, we should not forget that after that. Because if we do not continue educating young people, maybe they forget and they fall the same mistake. Well, you know, if they say he who doesn't study history is doomed to repeat it. So we all need to know the history, however painful that may be. So Monica, I want to turn to you at the last year, we're almost out of time and ask you how you feel about this.  And yet it, it, it pervades Cambodia in history. So how do you feel about it? Is this well on your mind? You must have a sort of an impression of it as part of the, what do you call it, the history and culture of Cambodia? What do you think? For me personally, I think I learned a lot from it. And like my dad say, as a young people, I cannot forget the history. Even, yeah, the history already in the past, but we learn from it and we take actions. We advocate to, to prevent it won't be happen again. So from those experience, from those during the transitional periods and also the tribe, you know, we have to bring those for our benefit, bring it and educate it, learn from it. And we can change for the better even now or even in the future. So like PJ doing, like we are not engaged only in Cambodia, but we engage in in other country as well in the cases. So we believe that we all are one. So we can work on helping people and we can work for a better system. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, what I get out of this and I'm interested in your reaction is that the ECCC was valuable. It was necessary. It was necessary for, you know, truth, truth finding. It was necessary for, you know, responsibility as, as finding responsibility and punishing some people. But the important thing is that it was, it was a commission that showed the world, not only Cambodia, but the world, what you do when you find this kind of travesty, this kind of madness has taken place. It's sort of a global responsibility for what happens in every country. It's not limited to one country. So what the commission has done is a lesson, don't you think? Or everywhere, every country, don't you think? I think everywhere, we, like, like I'm said, like, the reason why tribunal using as the hybrid, because we want to show that international and national can work together. And we, we, we, we look for it for the better for a good model for everyone to learn from it. Even sometimes it's a negative outcome, but at least we have positive to learn and trying to tell the world, okay, work on this is what this part is working. So we motivate to everyone to see it and learn from it. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's really important. Sam, I want to give you the last, the last words here. What would you like to leave with our audience about, you know, your, your life as a lawyer, your experience in Cambodia, your experience with the, the Khmer Rouge and, and with the development of the country thereafter? What would you like them to think about Cambodia and all these things? Yeah, one, one mistake of Khmer regime is they have no separation of power and they have no independent judiciary and they have no law. Okay. So I, the pillar of democracy, pillar of, I mean, protection or insure the, the freedom and right of the people that maybe need an independent and strong judiciary. Very important. Very important. Yeah. Lessons we, we can easily forget, but we should not forget them.  Democracy is so fragile, as we have seen right here in the US. So it's very important that we learn from all of this. Thank you so much, Sam. Thank you so much, Sam. Enjoy this discussion. Thank you very much. The best to all of you and happy president's day.


2022 has peed! How's it going guys? My name is DPJ and if you're doing enjoyed the video, leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. So, peepo. Peeepo. P-E-E-P-O-L-P-POL. Microsoft have only gone and purchased Activision Blizzard. Latest news just all over my Twitter feed I'm seeing all kinds of source and like what? And then I see Xbox themselves tweet it out. Jesus peepo. Okay, so if I change my scene and my old BS you'll see right here. Today is a historic moment. We are excited to announce that the world renowned franchises and talented people at Activision will be joining Team Xbox. What the? Now click on the link if you guys want to read through this all. I don't really know if you already saw because I'm going to talk about it but there's a little bit of a statement there if you want to read that you can. Let me just zoom in on here so you can see a little better. Can you see that better? I think that you can. So yes guys. Microsoft have purchased Activision Blizzard. Now what I will say is it costs them. $68 billion. $68 billion. The creators of Call of Duty Warcraft, Candy Crush, Tony Hawks, Diablo, Overwatch. Sparrow was originally our PS1 game.  Heartstone Guitar Hero, Crash Bandicoot, another PS1 game. Starcraft and more join Team Xbox. Now Call of Duty has fallen off over the past few years but it still has many millions of people that enjoyed the game. Now I said this to a fellow content creator on Twitter earlier.  Call of Duty hasn't been a relevant game for many people for a long, long time. For me even I haven't really played and enjoyed Call of Duty for a long while but I am enjoying Vanguard. I am enjoying Vanguard. But Call of Duty and Xbox Exclusive can you imagine that? I don't know about the business side of things. I don't know if that would be bad for business. Making it an Exclusive would mean it to be only $68 billion for Activision in my opinion. I mean some will question that kind of business but hey Microsoft have obviously seen something they think is worth investing in. Diablo. Diablo is a Diablo for people.  They seriously are. Now what I will also add is I know Activision are basically a company, a publisher. They want to push out billion dollar games, multimillion billion dollar games. That's what they want to do. That's where their interests are peaked. They want to earn billions in pushing the games. I think now Microsoft own them. I think we'll see many many other kind of games which don't have to be those billion dollar deal games. So I think it's good. I'm not sure how PlayStation fans, because I'm actually, I've got an Xbox. I've got a PlayStation. I mean if a game's good I'll play. I don't care what console. So I don't even PC. I'll play PC. I played Cyberpunk on PC. I played New World. I love that game. I loved it. Got a bit dry now. Call of Duty being an Xbox Exclusive. I know many many PlayStation fans will not like that. I know there's been a lot of controversy around Activision and the way they run their business as it relates. I'm not going to get into it. I'm just not going to get into it. I'm not going to go there. This is about something else. This is about Xbox purchasing. Well, Microsoft purchasing Activision. Blizzard. So this is a big deal in my opinion. It really is. And you tell me your thoughts down below. Do you think it's a wise choice for Microsoft? Do you think it's something that they will see a return on? To be honest these days now I'm not even sure Microsoft care about seeing a return on their investments. I don't know what Bill Gates has got his hands into. But what I do know is this phone Xbox player is absolutely massive. We all know everyone who plays on Xbox will tell you Game Pass Ultimate is the best deal in gaming. I mean, I think many PlayStation fanboys will agree with that. I mean, a lot of them are in denial about it. But Xbox Game Pass is the greatest deal in gaming. There's no two which ways about it. We get back catalogue of all Activision games. Published games. Dropping on that Game Pass Ultimate. I mean, it's just the cherry on the cake.  And then we get, imagine, quality. I'm not saying this is just me just guessing here because we don't know full details yet. I mean this deal may even fall through yet. We don't know. But it seems as though it's official. But imagine quality every year free on Games Pass. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. I mean, it's a massive, massive deal. It really is. It's probably the biggest thing in gaming. Since maybe Microsoft bought Bethesda. And now we get Starfield, which is a Xbox and PC exclusive, which is going to be an absolute massive title. But that's the thing I like about Microsoft. It seems as though they purchased these companies and don't pressurize them as much as what would have been into dropping games at certain points. As long as games are perfecto, which I believe Starfield will be. Well, perfecto is a bit of a crazy statement. But I think it will be as good as. And that's what I think Microsoft will do with Activision and many of these game developers as well. Who are obviously adjoining who are under Activision, which is unreal, unreal pay for craziness. Crazy. I still can't believe it. And being an Xbox. I mean, I'm an Xbox fanboy.  I love the PlayStation two. Had the original brick Xbox. And I just stayed with Xbox from there. Did Xbox 360 probably the best console ever made and just carried on from there. But I bought a PS5 because PS5 games are cool as well. Don't get it twisted. Play on PC because PC got those cool games too. But Xbox is always my home. It's where all my friends play. I just love it. And this is just an absolute insane addition to what we already have. Now, obviously, details are scarce at the minute. We don't know what's going down. And once I say that, actually, they're fantastic franchises across Activision. But he said we'll also accelerate our plans for collab gaming. A lot more people in more places around the world to participate in the Xbox community using phones, tablets, laptops and other devices you already own. Activision Blizzard games are enjoyed on a variety of platforms. And we plan to continue to support those communities moving forward. So what does that mean? You tell me. You tell me, guys. But I think this is great news for Microsoft. I mean, if they've got money to throw away, throw it away. I don't know. I don't know. Good for business, bad for business. You let me know down below, people. But on that note, we have come to the end of the video. Microsoft have brought out Activision Blizzard 2022. I've seriously peaked. We ain't even passed the first month yet. But guys, hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, leaving a like really helps out. And hopefully, guys, I will see you on that next.


I know that there's a lot of work to do on climate. We need to see the Biden-Harris administration rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement with stronger ambitions. We need them to reverse over 100 climate policies that the Trump administration destroyed. We need them to phase out fossil fuels and transition us to a renewable economy that creates millions of jobs for all of us. I'm most excited about their movement towards climate change and the reaction that they're going to do to put in some kind of new deal. We're coming to the point of no return and I know that things might get worse if Biden doesn't start the process of trying to rebuild renewable energy essentially. We need to not put money towards that wall and just break it down and really we need to help a lot of our immigrants. That's what makes up America. I think climate justice is probably the most important thing in the long term. Health care access and the short term, those things are going to be very difficult for them to do without a big push from activists and grassroots organizations. We know also not to depend on the federal level for everything and city, local organizing, state organizing is going to be where it's at from here on out. I want to feel comfortable going out at night and my friends being comfortable going out at night and not feeling attacked so we feel safer on the police that they'll protect us and not harm us. Cancelling the criminal justice system is really important to me as a public defender. You know, Biden does not have a good track record in that area but I'm hopeful that we can push him now that there is such a strong movement. I want the Biden Harris administration to listen to know that this is bigger than them. I think there's this really weird idea of political leadership where you have the administration that leads the people. We're talking about a movement that already exists that you have to catch up to.


Session discussions and if you don't mind I'll start with group number one funders and data policy and in our group we had basically two types of people research funders and also people supporting data and research infrastructures in the countries and There was an interest from Danish Research Council in Introducing open data policy and reusing some of the warnings that mark presented today Then There was a comment from research data storage infrastructure in Australia about data value checklist Something that would be really interesting to look at because what they did in Australia as they come up with their requirements from disciplines from discipline communities and They check whether they are service provider can Met all these requirements. So that would be interesting to compare Australian data value checklist and UK data value checklist Then there was a comment That it's really cheaper to keep Data then to try to recreate them because sometimes it's really more expensive to recreate data There was a question from Nordic Council of Ministers If you have a situation when Some data were generated from research funded project Plus there were some data sets brought by research like external data sets then can you require Open availability of that part of data set that was brought into project And it's really the answer is that you should probably approaches case by case in general. Why would researcher try to find to try to hide someone if He or she is good then he or she should be happy to share But there is a question whether it's only access or reuse only so in this case case by case Negotiation should go and Then if research projects have been funded by multiple funders then Whether data policy of one funder would be applied and Recommendation was to have this data policy that would be applied to research funded in whole or in the pot That's that's the best approach Mark mentioned that Codata is preparing a toolkit for the funders how funders can come up with open data policy So I think that would be really useful resource Then there was a comment from UK repository net What is the role for Institutional repositories in this whole data process and also it's somehow related to a comment and question from Spanish foundation for signing technology for science and technology and It looks like institutional repositories will be good places to Handle some Data related to certain experiment for example or to certain publication, but speaking about data pools like really data sets That were created by pulling Data from different sources. It's probably something that only data centers can do because that's kind of added value of data centers and for institutional repositories, it's very important to have clear and proper Metadata information so if some if some data are deposited in repositories, they should be really well documented to because They say the goal is to have them reused later and you need proper documentation Then there was a question from Swedish national data service how do you handle data management plans after the project so if there was no data management plan and the project is over and possibly if Data has some value and there is a risk of loss of those data Then maybe a data management plans could be funded poster project But in general, it should be still institutional responsibility Institution should have internal audit or what data sets are available. How they are managed Then We had discussion about identifiers that Again related to data in repositories or in data centers That it would be good to have Researchers identifiers then it would be good if researchers would acknowledge funding sources It's kind of common in the US to acknowledge your fund there It's not so common in Europe and it would be good to introduce as good practice And then when you have research and identifiers you have those avoid identifiers. You have DOI's then you can pull together Projects information publications and data and There was a comment from University of Botswana whether Because we were talking about some national data management plans whether there might be some International approaches to data management plans in certain areas and there might be some opportunities means this. Thank you And I'm passing over to Inger okay So we talked about institutional policies and We saw that in most institutions. There is not yet a policy and not even The project of getting a policy because it's not easy to do Now what I especially got out of the session that we had is Many institutions ask themselves what other steps that we have to do before getting such data management policy So First of all be aware of the hierarchy. Who do you have to involve? Who do you need to talk to to get everyone in this and and to Want to to join the project and be happy to do so So be aware of it hierarchy identify academic champions not People really just focusing on their one niche a Subject but more academic champions in Reaching out throughout different disciplines different sorts of material so that if you work with such champions You get a broad overview of what are the needs of researchers because that's something that you have to take with you What are the needs of the researchers? Try to get into their processes. So they start an extra administrative burden That's something that you have to take with you in your mind and in the development of such a data management plan Be sure not to contradict other policies. It has been said before so Be careful about that so identify which policies are in place in your country in most used Funders that your researchers engage with so that you know what the policies are there Certainly align what happens in align with what happens in other external Repositories because it was also identified as a problem that many smaller institutions and even rather big institutions Don't have the ability don't have the infrastructure the money the budgets To get into a big data management infrastructure. So to keep all your Data safe and everything but what you can do is develop a data management plan that guides researchers throughout the process of research Failing redoing things and data to keep in an archive in in an infrastructure so that you can at least guide them and give procedures and advice and things like that also What do they have to? Deposit in that repository what do they have to keep? It has been said before a checklist is needed a Basic checklist. What is the data that we have to keep? What do you mean with primary research data? So that is Certainly important. There's a few of the key things we talked about If I look at it from an open-air open-air plus View how can we help? People how can we help institutions to develop such a management plan the data management plan because that is what we want to do is a Help or engage in in the projects in in the talks discussions about putting up such a checklist and and try to Get in Help with that. That's what I want to say Also guidelines and developing policies. I already mentioned some things But if we can make a sort of guide to develop Management data management policy so that you can see what happens in other institutions. What are the things that we have to look at? Also, if you want to do a survey in advance, what kind of questions do you need to ask? What do you want to know before starting such a management plan? So we do have a few things in open-air plus that we can do to help institutions get into such a data management policy and So that is something that we can do. So that is what I get back from take with me from this talk this breakout group So I will report back from group three researchers and publishers. We started off with the two questions Do researchers want to share is data publication a reality and All all over the discussion typically the examples you You get to the table of from life sciences or environmental sciences and Overall, there's a recognized need for for further Cases in other other fields where you can demonstrate the value of things and we touched several questions in this in this field like In a typical experience could be of a researcher that He or she does not felt acknowledged for the the effort which has been put into the collection of data It's it's then at a later stage where people are get acknowledged that like you have some methods You have the tools and these people are cited, but the others are not cited So this is then something which is a practice, which is of course a bad thing and is in is a hindrance in between sharing so a question which was We discussed say quality issues like peer review what kind of principles I mean, this is something which is emerging which is not there yet under which kind of principles you should Proceed when you peer review research data So and it's typically the ones who use the data which are candidates for reviewing the data and And there are then various degrees of openness how you handle the the the peer review and of course how you handle the the sharing of data which we touched already in the in the talks and and one Discussion a longer discussion was about what makes researchers Nervous about sharing data. What are the issues on their side? It's it's typically of course quality assurance quality issues and Well the point of promotion that can always mention of their of their Work and then about I mean, they're not always confident about the value of that data They they have some have the attitude like well, my data is not good enough for sharing or whatever And we felt it is well, it would be good to endorse this principle and give them more Confidence in this this area and leave it then to the to the field What is what is done with the with research data when shared? so overall we should aim for Changing the habits of researchers such that Sharing is not something which happens at the beginning of the project and at the end But it should be a process which you touch on a daily base like do it five minutes and things are easy so Yeah, and Publishers also have a role in this area like they can help to in enforcing standards We had Theodora from plus in our group which we shared some Experiences also like when it comes to quality. It's important that you have have the original For example pictures you some researchers use them, but you well then you go back. Do they Still have the original part the original data yeah, and No, one one of the last points was about data citation He's not should not be the only thing we are looking at also alternative matrix Which are not there because there's not so much a critical mess of of these kind of things But like for publications, this is of course something which we should look at so one one point of summary like I Already mentioned this like Aim for key key ex I mean aim for good examples, which which can be used in this field to To educate researchers and the and and push push things and also a list of trusted Databases where where to share data is something which is Obvious need so that's it what I can If there's anything else from the group, please I'm presented the results of That the discussion that we have of the technical on the technical discussion We were a small group of people of six people. I think just one outside of the open air Consortium the other ones are people that are already involved, but it was interesting to to To know about from exactly from that that person that is not currently working on on open air about an initiative in Finland of constructing a national data catalog that will collect research data from all disciplines and it will have a A mix of meta that only records and the meta that and that is and data sets And of course, we immediately and polimately start thinking that we could use that for for harvesting and for connecting to to to finish data sets then we we have a small discussion on change of ideas on on that on the open air data model and Especially we have we spend some time Talking about the the fact that on the data model and services of open air we we are using Trust levels for for entities and and for relations and that those trust levels can be used Not only for the automatic relations that so the relations that can be established by By our computational methods, but also for man-made relations as Aryan Pointed out on on his presentation on an asset publication that in some cases we will have man-made relations and the data model of open air can also use that levels of trust to to apply to to to that and And and also and then we discussed that the issue of the need for get off of Guarantee or at least every information about the long-term preservation and long-term availability of Datasets and other objects on an S publications for an S publications to be trustable. We need to to to To be sure for hopefully to be sure that all the the components are Will be there in five years or ten years or one hundred years or at least to be to know what parts of the of the of that An S publication will be will we'll have a long life and Eventually what parts will probably ever shorter life and so with we also talk about that We can also use kind of levels of trust for that and from from those levels of trust We can then develop services at user interface level so we can show users what kind of relation and what kind of of preservation It's associated with that object and also we can for instance develop some automatic Services for instance for low trust preservation objects we can then periodically sent our Robots to check if the object is still available and if not just drop it from from the relations with with the publication so I think that's the the main issues that we have discussed it I don't know if Aryan or Paolo want to add something else Okay Right in two minutes. We had a very small group and a lot of what's just been said I'm not going to repeat because we covered quite a lot of those points In terms of what relates to open a plus There was a question about metadata and whether or not there were licensing restrictions for the metadata itself not just for Databases, so we may need to think about that also technically how we're going to link We should get sort of the case studies with our scientific communities out there Published as soon as possible in terms of how we're linking going to link up from our information space to to external data sets and databases I Think that There were two research issues flagged up that the credit for researchers should be really made very clear in terms of sharing data and Usability was really really crucial The role of the library and the sort of inertia that comes from the library sector and fear perhaps launching into sort of the data management world Was perhaps a reason why libraries don't have data management policies perhaps they're not best suited And that needs to be tackled and also universities are fairly difficult places. They're very disparate with different Units and divisions and there's a lot of politics going on So one one person said that it's quite hard Politically to to put forward a data management policy that everybody agrees on And That's really the those are the main points that that we went through because there are lots of in-between Discussions, but as we're running out of time. Those are the points. I'd like to tell you so I think I'd like to bring the Workshop to a close. Thank you very much I'd like to spank thank the speakers very much because I think that they were all excellent really good level of Talks and a really good range. Thank you for all of your participation in these breakout groups Please go and enjoy a nice lunch I'd like to also thank the open-air team because this has all been a team effort to pull this off today So thank you all very much and last but not least and order bibb as well I hope that this has stimulated some interest within your regions for the open-air partners You could go back and start to discuss about data management policies how you might start Thinking about preparing one yourselves at the very least. I hope this has interested you in this topic Thank you very much and Enjoy the afternoon


Are you ready for warm weather and a little sunshine? The Appalachian wireless team has decided to have the ultimate spring break event. The spring break event is going on now through the end of April and all smartphones are on sale with Appalachian Advantage. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. Kentucky State Police, Post-9, and Pikeville Police responded to a motorcycle collision Thursday along the US-23 119 exit. Trooper Michael Coleman reveals more about the crash. We had a vehicle pursuit which started in the Papua community led onto the US-23 119 intersection where at which time the operator of the motorcycle actually was involved in a single vehicle collision. He's being transported to the Papua Medical Center at this time. We just asked to be in the area to use caution, let's do the work and investigation here. The suspect was transported to the Pikeville Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries. His name has yet to be revealed as the investigation is ongoing. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Porjol.


In Mystery History's opinion, the ancient ruins found upon the Plateau of Giza are some of, if not the most, heavily debated, heavily guarded, and most academically protected ancient side on Earth. Yet it remains one of the most talked-about, mysterious, intriguing ancient stonework of them all. Many people are now aware of the anomalies, which were once tightly controlled secrets surrounding the exterior features of the build and, more importantly, the achievements that these feats once were. These inexplicable factors, the size of the megalithic exoskeleton, the vastly different ages of the casing stones, are now thought by many as the defining motive for a cover-up regarding the pyramid's true age and original purpose. The idea blackouts, counterintelligence, and many other outlandish conspiracies now rife among the research of the site, from giants to UFOs, the ideas and theories people have put forward for their function, or indeed, what could be hidden in voids constantly discovered yet to be penetrated, these hidden rooms, along with their ancient entrances, remain a complete enigma, even in recent years, as advances in penetrative radar become a reality, and accessible to self-funded individuals and research teams, more and more voids, unexplained heat anomalies, and even air shafts not known of before continue to be discovered within these enormous mystifying structures. Yet as mentioned, the subculture, many genuine yet misguided in their investigative method, but also many funded individuals involved in many other hard-to-deny subjects, has successfully swamped the field with dis-and-or misinformation, creating opinionated followings with a successfully corrupted impartiality, deceptively manipulated into becoming said misinformation's advocates, rather than whence they came, an open mind, a skill for discussion, and an unbiased critical approach to subjects whose true nature are actively being protected. The predictably far fewer articles, books, and other logical critical, impartial to all but fact, unwavering competent research done by many capable individuals, although adrift within an ocean of fallacy, shines much light upon some highly compelling, yet albeit highly controversial features of the Plateau of Giza, features which may one day lead us to ultimately unlocking the pyramid's secrets and allowing us to finally understand what these structures' past functions truly were, not only in detail, but perhaps in an attempt of replication. During our own research, we have found some interesting similarities between Giza and Bosnia, among other lesser-known pyramid structures, and this curious, yet continually reoccurring feature is now being more frequently discovered all over the world. The Great Pyramid of Bosnia, for example, a site discovered by Samir Osmanogik, has an ingenious river, which, after three years of research, was confirmed by him and his team to have had an artificial current. The reason for this is currently unknown, but it seems water was a significant factor in the past function of these ancient structures. Water is a curious thing, and in many situations acts just like that of electricity. It runs in currents and travels through tubes like electric through cables. Yet no one seems to know what electricity is. We hypothesize that these water features are of tremendous significance when it comes to understanding the true function of these incredible structures. But I digress. The plateau has always intrigued me, although, buried by a desert sand, the solid sandstone below is of an unimaginable size and seemingly level over 40 feet deep in some places. Yet no one truly understands its origins. Indeed, structures as large as the pyramids would need impressive foundations, but the plateau, it seems, is far too large, and if man-made, bafflingly sparse of any ruins, structures which one would have presumed would have been the reason for its enormous construction. There is, however, another hypothesis, a legend that told of a lost labyrinth, a secret underground lair as big as a town, a secret underground structure so large and thus so easy to get lost within. It became known as the Labyrinth. Long spoke of, but always dismissed as mythological, this due to a lack of any substantial evidence for its existence. That is, until a few years ago, when a groundbreaking rediscovery was made, yet unfortunately it seems this groundbreaking event was somehow masterfully stifled, not shared by mainstream media, funded institutions with their armory of literature and magazines alike. Thus, it merely becomes an observational exercise in yet another display of the influence our currently controlling institutions have over public opinion, preventing an underground city of gigantic proportions buried beneath Giza, never successfully achieving public notoriety. The Sand of Harara was scanned by a Belgian-Egyptian expedition team in 2008, in an effort to research something known as the Quarry Theory, suggested by Petri in 1889, following his finding of a great artificial stone surface measuring 304 m by 244 m. Petri interpreted the enormous artificial stone plateau as the foundation of the labyrinth, concluding that the building itself, although long believed to have been totally demolished in the Ptolemaic period, had in fact survived and lay hidden for millennia. The surveys proved its foundation remained unpenetrated and still laid undiscovered beneath the sandstone, never lost, the possibility of the results being that of the roof of the labyrinth, all but proven true. The following is an excerpt from the Dig's official report. Underneath this upper zone, below the artificial stone surface, appears, in spite of the turbid effect of the groundwater, at a depth of 8-12 m, a grid structure of gigantic size made of a very highly resistant material like granite stone. This proves the presence of a colossal archaeological feature which has to be reconsidered as the roof of the still existing labyrinth. Are the legends true? Does the labyrinth of Giza still lay hidden, unexplored, beneath the sands of Egypt? We find the evidence to suggest such highly compelling. Hey guys, so a few months back I shared with you the story of adventurous geologists who had trekked far into the cold wilderness of Russia in an effort to catalog the largest megalithic site on Earth. So remote, they are steeped in legends of snow yetis and mysterious monsters devouring all who dared to venture into these remote areas. When I shared the amazing images of these stone structures, many argued that they were natural formations. Maybe because they struggled to conceive such enormous ancient ruins in such remote places. Discoveries that seem to be many hundreds of thousands of years old. Maybe even as old as the giant Sphinx. More and more is being learned about them, with ever more daring explorations of the ruins being undertaken, a team discovered a vault in one of the stone megaliths. An access vault that led them into an artificially made stone cavern system. These underground structures are truly massive and are undoubtedly constructed by an intelligent builder. Hidden for many millennia, these caverns are not only massive but constructed using blocks placed upon one another that are over 50 feet in length in some instances. Eclipsing these stones many thousands of tons in weight, seemingly placed effortlessly into the shape of underground walls. This discovery is not really shed light upon how the ancients built such structures, but rather pushed their apparent capabilities farther from our understanding. Not only are these structures purpose a vast mystery, but they also contain placed stones bigger than any we've ever discovered, even eclipsing the unfinished stone found at the ancient Chinese quarry known as Yangshan. A stone can be found here half cut away from the bedrock, in excess of 16,000 tons, thought by scholars throughout time to have been left at the quarry due to them not being able to move it. Yet, here we have stones placed into a cave system designed which even outweigh Yangshan. This not only proves they could move them, but lift them and work them. Just how many, quote, natural formations are really just extremely weathered, once extremely large stone-built structures. Maybe there are many stone granite hills, and even maybe mountains that dot our earth, which work before millennia of rain, grand structures of a forgotten people.


Realistic Gaming here and today we're here with my boy. I still haven't named him. It's so difficult to think of a name. You guys commented some great awesome names as we could see like Realistic Spider and what not. And the list goes on but I still can't decide what to actually name him. So I don't know for now let's just name him Larry. Please Larry for now. Oh right this thing is covering his face. There you go. There we go little Larry the spider. Okay so this is just a temporary name okay. I have not named him Larry permanently. Alright so today we find ourselves on Cocoa Crack's channel. Shout out to Cocoa Crack. Make sure to go check him out on his awesome channel. And let's go ahead and begin with this Peppa Pig horror story happened versus Piggy. Hey yo heads up this video contains horror themes that could potentially spook and spook your local children. Please sign the waiver before watching so we're not liable for your potential demise. Oh my god. Oh my god. Make sure to grab the snacks. It relax. Okay. Mommy Pig is working on her computer. Mommy can we play Piggy on Roblox? Yeah. The pic claims she's good at it. Her failure will be whole violence. Me losing isn't that funny? It's kind of funny. It is mild humorous. It's not the only reason I'm here. Well I'll show you. I'll show you all. I'm actually very good. Not like every Roblox player.   Dude I remember when Piggy first came out. It was the bee's knees man.  Susie can you please stop talking. I think my ears are going to bleed. You're just insecure because you sound like a 19 year old man. It's a birth defect. It's a birth defect. I also take offense to that. No. I can beat this. All right let's see if Piggy can actually beat it. Get the wrench for that pepper. You need the wrench for that pepper. Dude he's straight knocked out. Game over. Get good. You can't open the fridge pepper. How are you so bad at a game that you're in it?  What the heck? Piggy's going to come out of there. Dude what's up with mommy pig? They got sucked into the metaverse. That's what happened. All right I'm back. I got over what Susie said. Hey what the... You ditched me again.  Well might as well take a crack at this. He's going to play the game with them in it. These online players look just like my Flaker friends. What a strange and unexplainable coincidence. This is pretty creative. I like it already. Oh pepper versus piggy. The Pogo crack really helped in this episode. That's how we sleep we do. 10 minutes to escape. Oh my gosh. I think we're... Why does George sound like that? Another wacky adventure for the pepper squad.  Oh if this is real or if we're dreaming it. How? How could this have happened?  You're asking that little miss temper tantrum freak out on the computer girl? All right. No need to point fingers. But if this really is the piggy game then it's okay. All we gotta do is find the keys and stuff and open the front door before the timer runs out.  No biggie.  Oh what Susie? You're not going to heaven. Wait is that a bot or a player? What does that mean? If it's a bot the game controls piggy. The frame. But if it's a player someone real takes control. Well it's just staring at us. It has to be a person. Help we're trapped in here. Oh my goodness. These graphics are so realistic. Oh. He just knocked out the mom. Poor mummy pig. Dude this is so cool. Sticking together is probably a good idea. Right? Seriously? Isn't that there? This is so neat man. Let's go to the bathroom. Oh. His neck is sticking out. Oh. That was a close call. What? How did you get under there? But not skipping when time runs out. Isn't that a game over? Yeah. Gotta start finding keys and stuff. Oh it just went around. Can we stick together now? Can you get good at the game? Yes. Actually. I found a key. What? I found the key. Oh there you go. Where did you get a banana from? Got the smallest apple. No where this goes. I got it. Susie no. Wait. What?  We get to move. I thought she was going to die. Why did that key glitch always come up? Hey guys. Sorry. How long have you been here? A long time. I chewed through the boards that were blocking the crawl space. What? Whoa. You guys. I think because we're real life people. It's causing the game to not function right. That's why we're able to break some of the rules. That sounds like cheating. I love cheating. Let's go. Oh okay have fun with that. Stay in here.  Dead people don't come back. They never come back. I just got dark very quick. They're still down there. Come on. Got a contribute man. I can't take this. Run girls hurry. Oh no. Cheating power is acting. Oh. That's not working. Oh. Wait. It stopped. He's pretend. Oh I'm gonna get you. Baby. You sound like a 19 year old man. Oh. You're not the real thing. Get him to reset. Maybe the game will end. Well actually I don't think. Dog. Reset your character and the game. Papa wait. Sure. I can do that. No. What? What's your deal? When someone playing as picky resets. A bot takes their place. Oh that's not good. A bot always knows. Is that really true? I'm pretty sure it is right.  So that makes sense. Oh they're in real trouble now. Oh. Right so now they actually have to beat the game. In order to get out. Oh that'll work. Dude George is still down there. Poor George.  Run Susie. Dude she's trapped. Alright there you go. Oh. Oh. Nice. Hey I'm back. And I found a gun. Yeah we can clear this. Oh. She's stunned. I'm so good at this game. Okay. This is so intense. Dude he's just eating popcorn. What was that? Like piggy glitched? Hmm. We tried busting through this door. But it isn't working. We need the final key. Yeah. It must be in the bathroom upstairs. What? The final key wouldn't be in one of the first rooms available to the players. That doesn't make sense.  You've barely done anything this whole time. Hey hey hey enough. We'll be helping each other man off fighting. We will get nowhere with arguing. Yeah. If we must we'll triple check every area. But we need to work together to get out of here. Yeah. Together. First things first. Yeah. No. Oh. Dude. Pinkie's going try hard mode now. That's the way she'll see me if it's me. What? It's gonna be okay. No. Depped on a trap. Oh. Dude everything is going downhill now. The key is going to be over there. Forget the key and help me. Forget the key. Come on. Forget the key. Forget the key. Why do you even think it's in there?  Are you? Oh. You are. Stop blabbering man. If you want this game stop trying to prove you're not and help me. Oh I'll show you. Oh no. He. I told you. I knew it.  Eight seconds. Five. Four. Three. Two. I won. Oh. I won. You're almost there Peppa. Game over? I guess they didn't make it out. Gosh. You guys. I am so sorry Suzy. It's okay. Really? Now it is. That's fair. Where are we? We don't know. We all came here when we got killed. I think it's like a waiting room. They're in the void. Oh my gosh. You guys. I. Totally escaped the house. Oh wow. Told you I was good at the game. Very selfish of you Peppa. I literally couldn't have done it without all of your help. There you go. I'm sorry. Teamwork makes the dream work. Close enough. I still don't know what's going on. Well now that the game's over I'm sure Don will do something to get us out right. I don't know what to do. It won't do what I want. I think he's going to load another game. And they're going to be there. Oh. Another bot. Great. Oh now they're at the. Oh cool. They loaded up at the level two. Police station. Second level. Guys. Cool. So it seems like he's going to continue on the Peppa Pig versus Piggy Horror Story. And they're going to go through every other level that exists in Roblox Piggy. Alright that is pretty darn awesome. I can't wait for it for episode two which is going to be the prison. And I feel like he's going to continue on as. Oh sorry Larry man. Didn't mean to drop you. I feel like he's going to continue on chapter two chapter three and then Peppa Piggy chapter two and whatnot. Dude this could be endless. Alright you guys well shout out to Coco Crack. Make sure to go check out his channel. Thank you all for watching. Thank you all for the amazing support. And I will see you all in the next one.
