My name is Ahmad Amri, and I'm studying in the University of Fulunggong. And I'm studying about maritime security in Southeast Asia, a PhD degree. The best thing that I found out by studying in the University of Fulunggong, I've seen many people from overseas. There's so many people, international students, where I could meet. So I could communicate with many people. And this is my first experience because usually when I study back home in Indonesia, I just meet people from Indonesia. And this time I could see many people from overseas. I want to let everyone know that this place Australia is one of the reasons I have become the person I am today. I have made new families. I'm able to go for conferences overseas. I'm able to lead many organizations. And most importantly, I am able to learn new things about my field of study. That is maritime security in Southeast Asia. I tried to join as many social clubs as I could. So I joined the football clubs and I joined the international clubs. And then I gather with people, talk to them and share experiences with them. I think Australia is a great country, multicultural country. And I think there are many graduates which are really good from Australia. So I thought of learning my field of study that is maritime security in Australia. And I hope to get more knowledge here. I think saying thank you is the thing that I learned from Australia. Like every time you meet people and then they do stuff for you, you say thank you because this is not normal in our country. Like only when people do something really great concentrate, like really significant, then only you say thank you. So like learning thank you, saying thank you is one of the best experience that I get here. So I think for other people who are considering applying for Australia Awards, I would really encourage them to apply because once you get in, you will have many opportunities. After you get in, you can work for the government, you can get many knowledge and then you learn other cultures. So I think I would encourage people to get the Australian Awards scholarship.


We've been hearing a lot about how important it is to have a multi-stakeholder approach, governments, civil society and the private sector. I have here Elizabeth Rochmann from Hewlett Packard. Tell me, why is it important to have the private sector in on the WSIS process? Yeah, actually, we at HP are an IT company. We provide the technology and I would reflect back to what has been said yesterday at the opening ceremony, both from our partner, you know, Intel and from our VP HP. We are providing the technology but what's important is, you know, to meet with other stakeholders, ICT ministers who have a vision of how they could use this technology to actually make a better impact. So how can they, you've been talking about information versus knowledge, the importance of information management and portability. What are Hewlett Packard solutions, what sort of effect are they having in the field? So you're right, there is actually a trend which I discovered recently from talking with all the colleagues from HP that before it was the power of information. And there is also the complexity because information is exploding, it's doubling every, I think, 18 months, so it's a challenge to manage this information. But what is more important as well now is the knowledge becomes really how do you transform this information into knowledge. And what's become important as well is learning, the ability to learn and to relearn new things and to adapt with all this flow of information. So that's the shift that we've been seeing. So for that the supporting technology that we are focusing on in HP is cloud information management and mobility. It's your big shift in mobility. So are you getting an opportunity here to hook up with a lot of ministers and are you finding that's giving you traction in the innovations you're developing at Hewlett-Packard? Actually, yeah, I was very impressed about the amount of interest we're getting from the technology we are speaking about in the workshop and we are showcasing in the HP store. We designed the field office kit, for example, for UN agencies because they have this need of, in case of emergency situation, they need to bring rapidly routers and servants start an office, start registering people, refugees, migrants. So we've been developing this data center in the backpack that you can take with you in the plane, along with supporting thin clients and tablets, et cetera, and printers. And what we've been seeing as well is from ICT ministers the interest they have to use this as well for government needs. So not only for UN agencies, but also how do I start a classroom in remote areas or a government office in remote areas? It could be a remote telecenter, so we're seeing lots of traction. The second thing we're showing in terms of mobility is the e-print kiosk because there's a lot of proliferation of mobile devices even everywhere in the world in developing countries and developed countries but how do you print easily from mobiles? So we've been showing as well this kiosk with the HP e-print technology which enables to print wireless just by having, downloading an app and being able to see the public print locations nearby and to print, you know, the job postings, CVs, anything you want. And as well you can imagine if you were a shop owner to even print, you know, signage for your shop. That's fantastic. Thank you very much. Thank you, David.


Diolch. Beth mae'n gweithio'r cyfrannu cyfrannu cyfrannu, ar ôl yn dweud yn cael eu cael eu cyfrannu cyfrannu, fel ymweld yn rhywbeth ateb, ac yn edrychwch ar ei fod yn oed ein gweithio y gallai gael ei wneud o'r cyfrannu cyfrannu ar y cyfrannu cyfrannu cyfrannu. Mae'n dechrau'r cyfrannu cyfrannu. Felly mae'n gweithio'r cyfrannu, mae'n gweithio'r cyfrannu cyfrannu ar y 80s, I didn't include some nice pictures, as you did, John, of those early ones. But really, like the eclectic car, they've only taken off in the last decade or so. And there's a very uneven landscape of how popular they are globally. So in some European countries, mainland European countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, they're very popular. Those of you from those countries know all about it. They're also very popular in China and other Asian countries. However, in some other countries such as the UK, they are not very popular. And many people have absolutely no idea what they are. So for those of you who don't, I've got this slide here talking about different types of e-bikes because it's also really important to distinguish between the different types of bikes. They are often brought together in discussions, and I would argue that they are quite different types and it's really important to be precise about that. So what they have in common is that they are a bike, that they have a motor, and they have a battery as you can see on the top left. But as you can see already from the images, you can have all sorts of different configurations of them. They can be folding bikes, they can be cargo bikes, they can go really fast, and they can have different modes of pedaling and assistance. So for example, there's a group of bikes called pedal assist, pedalec or electrically assisted bikes, which I'll mainly talk about today. They are like a normal bicycle, you need to pedal, and you can have additional assistance if you wish. But when you stop pedaling, the assistance cuts out. That's very different to the throttle controlled or twist and go bike that you see in the middle where you can have the assistance without pedaling. So it's more like a moped style bike really. You can pedal, but you can also go without pedaling. And then on the right we have the electric scooter moped, which is basically a normal scooter moped, which runs with electricity. So really important to always be careful which type you're talking about, because for example, with the electrically assisted bike, you're still getting the health benefits of doing some pedaling, even if it's easier. And when you switch it off, you have obviously greater health benefit. All of them you can charge up without needing a specific infrastructure like cars do. So they usually just plug into the mains and you can charge them like you would charge your phone or laptop. Are they sustainable? Always depends what kind of electricity they're charged up with and what kind of battery they use. I won't go into detail. But if compared with a car, the CO2 emissions certainly look a lot better. This is based on doing around trip 200 days a year, 15 or 5 miles a day. And the little green bit is the e-bike bit and the big one is the car CO2 emissions. There's been some research done that in many urban areas, e-bikes are faster than cars for trips up to 9km and that cargo bikes are the fastest alternative for goods up to 100kg in urban areas. The global e-bike market is growing for 2012 projected sales are about 30 million units. The vast majority of that is happening in China, so it's about 83 to 92% of the overall market. That is largely twist and go e-bikes that are more moped style than pedalex. Whereas the units sold in Western Europe and in the US are much more the pedalex style where you have to peddle to get the assistance and that's mainly due to the different legislation in those countries. This is a growing market so the projected growth rate between now and 2018 is 7.4% global and for Western Europe 11.8% so there's a lot happening there. Just to say that Asia and China is on a completely different scale than the European market in terms of the size that you can see on here. Now not only cars but also bicycles can be shared. We all know from the London Boris Bike Scheme and you can see an illustration of that in the bottom. They've been integrated with charging stations, they've been integrated with other modes of transport for example with the Deutsche Bahn in Germany and there are all sorts of ways how they're integrated into cities in interesting ways that you can check out. Now I wanted to mention the project I'm running at the University of Brighton. It's the smart e-bike project where we're specifically looking at how we can use electrically assisted bikes in the UK context and we're using mobile media for monitoring and feedback to riders. And we're especially interested to encourage people who don't currently cycle. So we've bought 35 of these Riley Electric assisted bikes. They're also a project partner. We've put a monitoring system on all of them with Android phones and Yo-Yo boards and sensors. It's all open source, other projects can use the same system and we can collect real-time data about the usage of these bikes as we give them out to different trial participants. So we know exactly how much they use the bikes, how much assistance they use and we can attach all kinds of other sensors and we can give real-time feedback to everyone riding the bikes and participating in the trial. And this is a really important part of it that we use the kind of mobile media infrastructure and the bikes together. I've got some early results for you from the first trial that we ran this year with the Brighton based insurance company where 20 people took out the bikes in the early summer and another 20 in the late summer and what is really promising is that we are managing to actually get people into cycling that did not previously cycle to work, people commuting. We got some people that did 450 miles in 10 weeks that did not previously cycle to work so that was a really interesting result and a lot of people had very emotional responses to riding these bikes because it's just more fun if you can go faster uphill or against the wind or overtake all those people in Lycra and not breaking a sweat. Now, people are also reporting that they are saving time and money by using the bikes and a sort of side effect that's not really part of our project but they are also reporting impact on health and well-being that their heart rate goes up, that they get to work out and that they do a lot more exercise when riding these bikes. And it's interesting to mention that actually using the bikes still fits in with the guidance on physical activity and the nice guidelines that came out last week in terms of moderate exercise. But really the bit that I want to end on if that's okay is the integration of media into this so I think it's really key to understand this not necessarily as a fleet of bicycle but much more as an internet of things. So each of these bikes is collecting data in real time. We can have sensors about pollution in the city, about people's heart rates about all sorts of other things going on and that can be shared with everyone else riding these bikes in the city. So what we are developing now is that people can share their ride data with others and they can put it on Facebook and all of that. And of course people are obsessing about their stats and the quantified self and all of that. So we are tapping into that. So I would say in the spirit of speculating about the future that if we think more about e-bikes and possibly less about electric cars that we could have multiple benefits of high density they take up a lot less space than cars of reducing carbon emissions of meeting physical activity guidelines of decreasing traffic noise. They are obviously silent and to really integrate communication networks into this mode of transport at an early stage to collect data about usage and how we can take it further. Thank you. Rhina, is this a competitor? No. No? And why not?  They are not necessarily to be used to transport your big family goods or anything. We have also heard about cargo bikes. Okay, you can't fit two people but you get fit by using it. Yes, that's great. But you know, as I said, we believe in the whole system and we have for example a corporation in Dysrdorf on one of our locations with the next bike is a German bike sharing company and together with Public Transport where people buy a monthly ticket which includes hours driven with a bike sharing program and minutes driven with a car to go because at the end, as I said, people decide from situation to situation if it's raining and I have lots of bags in my hand I probably don't want to take the ride sharing program but I might want to take the bus I want to take the car sharing car. In summer, and this is, from our numbers, of course people prefer the bike because it's nice and warm and makes it fun to ride a bike. So people are really flexible. I think the secret only is they don't have this car in the garage anymore which forces them to take it every day because I've paid it anyway. So apart from this, I'm perfectly fine. I think this is the future otherwise I can't get people into only my cars if the people don't have alternatives like the bike or the bus or the train or a taxi or whatever. Now we'll stick to the theme for another five minutes if there are people in the audience who want to make a comment or want to ask a question please indicate in a moment so I see that already. I'll come back to you in a moment. Frog, another question I have and I guess obviously anyone who is already cycling would ask it. Is there not a danger that we are seeing e-bikes replacing conventional bikes and the question whether we see any evidence that's already the case? I would say that's probably different depending on the cycling culture that you already have in different countries and it's really important to be specific about that but what we are trying to focus on in our project is to engage people in cycling that do not currently cycle because they are being put off by going uphill, they are being put off by having a lot of wind along the sea front for example in Brighton people that don't want to arrive sweaty at work so all these kinds of reasons putting people off cycling or they are afraid that they might run out of steam and they can now use the assistance so I'm sure there will be some people who switch or who extend their cycling careers later on in life for example by doing so but we are mainly interested in getting people to change their mode of transport towards cycling. We had a question from the audience, Ben please. I'm the director of strategy for surface transport at transport for London and my job is to encourage people to take up more sustainable patterns of transport over and above the rail network it fascinates me in a conversation about post-car cities, we've talked almost exclusively about new forms of cars and electrically powered bicycles if you look at cities around the world that have encouraged sustainable patterns of movement they've done free things, really good mass transit walking and cycling using the quaint old manually powered bicycle and I think it's a real mistake that you've got to start with the alternative to existing car technology that's a very important part of the package but you've got to do those other three things first, not least because the technologies are available right now at a very significant mass scale so we've got to be clear about where you start and I wouldn't start with electric cars critical those are as part of the wider mix. Thank you, any further questions? I see here. Judy? There were two things really, I mean one of the essences and I wonder what the explanation is and if it isn't to do with huge youth and poverty and things like that that youth that it's not a choice actually it's to do with the state of the economic position of youth at the moment the second thing is I just wanted to pick up Philip's point about the family car and things and one of the things I remember very early in the green movement was that it's very much parents with young children who were trying to take kids round and shopping and all sorts of things who had lots of conflicts with early green politics that were anti-car and I just wondered what the demographics are I mean you know making it fun and the sort of pictures and all the images we've got here it seemed to me of single people and I just sort of wondered about that if there's any thought to different situations and different demographic groups Thank you John, are you willing to take that? Yes, thanks The first point about younger people and driving licences is interesting and of course it is hugely affected by current prolonged period of austerity but of course this period of austerity looks like it's going to go on for a long time and so it might be actually pretty setting in place particular pattern there are also surveys that ask people what young people do you want the latest smartphone or a second hand car or a car and they increasingly say so you've got this data now over quite lengthy periods that say I'm not getting a licence and I prefer a smartphone rather than a car it's sure it's highly interpretable data so it's kind of interesting I think the question you also say about families is interesting because of course the car is never just a means of individual transport it's also moving objects and of course this brings out the sort of materiality of lives that are lived partly in and through the car and of course moving other people, dependence and so on so one of the things will be important in all of these will be how is it that luggage and objects and materials and small people and elderly people are also moved so one of the things that implies is the diversity of forms that these vehicles whatever we call them are going to take and we shouldn't have a single size I suppose I'll take one more question from Thomas please looking at it from the consumers perspective I have a question to Mr Becker you probably have done some research on how the average city dweller uses his car and if you compare that with the cost he would have to spend for the car to go how does that compare we have done some calculations of course based on examples that we came up with I think it's very much looking at the individual situation first thing is I don't want someone to replace their car with car to go once again I don't want someone to sell their car and then use car to go only I want them to go into the transport system so at the end the calculation you have to make is someone sells their car and instead let's say 10 times a week uses the bus twice a week uses a taxi and once a week uses the rental car and then maybe twice a week which is an active customer in our statistics an active customer drives twice a week and not 50 times or something a week a car to go and then at the end of the month you draw the line and you see what the costs are and if you use public transport a lot if you use the bike or walk a lot and use the car from time to time at the end I'm pretty sure that the calculation will be better than owning your car and getting into it every day I think just if I can add this quickly also to this question when we buy a car, I mean we start with okay I go to work with one car and my husband goes to work with this car and then one has to bring the children away then suddenly the car has three places then we need to go to the grandmother on the weekend oh yeah then we need four places because we go all together and then we go on holiday sometimes okay the dog also has to be in so it's five places at the end and the car is huge and we take the car every day because it's there and we start with one person so the flexibility which the whole transport system gives us helps us also to avoid unnecessary space that is consumed or the day just to justify some events that come every area I don't know two weeks or so thank you it's time to move on and we'll now focus on intervention in space and the first and most obvious candidate is our home and a lot of discussions have happened about opening up our home it's one of these areas where probably we're most skeptical and over to Ken Larson with his experience at MIT and revolutionising our house thank you


All the light and it's 96,000 dealers present All the light brings you rave notice a suspense play starring mr.  Yes, sir By what standards do you consider yourself to be an actor? You're persecuting me. I persecute nobody The man cannot play a role he's replaced replaced There goes that persecution talk again replace me and I'll kill you witnesses He's threatening me and don't talk of replacement.  Milton burl in the first act of rave notice They will talk I say will talk I hear you're a campaign manager you bet senator and my candidates are cinched to win What's his name?  He's the famous auto light stay full battery My candidate is so well known that every valiant voter wants his valor and veracity What is that for? Why the famous auto light stay full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use senator And he's running on a platform to give longer life 70 percent longer life in fact has proved by tests conducted according to the society of automotive engineers Minimum life cycle standard and that's really an endorsement is your candidate prepared for a long Cycling office will come he sure is senator because every positive plate of the auto light stay full battery Is protected with a fiberglass retaining mat to help reduce flaking and shedding So friends join the crowd voting for the auto light stay full battery the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use See your neighborhood auto light battery dealer And remember you're always right with auto light And now with rave notice and the performance of mr. Milton burl Auto light hopes once again to keep you in suspense Look when i'm walking across time square like this i'm just an ordinary man plain unnoticeable I watched the crowd you wouldn't even notice me. It's though. I were invisible Yeah, I like that Invisible but wait come here come with me through this door through here and into the darkness Now I breathe deeply of the thick dark air and I become taller My eyes drink in the gloomy shadows become lustrous birdlike noble Here in this temple of the passions I throw off my cloak of invisibility and I reveal myself my true self Or this is the theater and I I am an actor Down there beyond the empty seats lit by the single bare bulb of my fellow actors and we're all here to make a play friend norman Seated alone in the third row is our director. This is the fifth day of the rehearsal Still rather rough stiffish and so forth, but it's not a bad little play and You know norman norman will manage somehow to spoil it Norman will misdirect actors and lose values and I've known norman for years From the group theater We were in the group together. Oh no no no no no But norman why not because I'm the director and I say no no very well Try again I wish somebody would tell me what it's all about life. I mean I wish somebody would give me the word adequate thank you Uh norman.  I um come over here. I I want to talk to sure norman sure What is it? This is uh Well, believe me sam the most difficult thing I've ever had to say speak out norman. You know me Well, I I've had to turn over the bell ringer to luther The bell ringer But what do you mean norman? That's my part the bell ringer. What do you mean to luther? Don't make it difficult for me sam difficult. I'm not making it difficult not at all The bell ringer role is mine norman. That's all there's no difficulty involved. Please You joke no It's not as if I hadn't warned. Well, tell me what's wrong. Tell me where I've stepped off. What irritate you? What doesn't fit and I'll fix it. I'll fix it. That's my role norman I carry the whole cast with that role. Don't shout sam.   What do you know now easy? What do you know? What do you know about acting? Easy there easy.  That's enough.  He's threatening me again. Yes. Listen good norman.  You see you can't even deliver that line You stink by a gun. Yes, sir. What sort of a gun as you wished by one that will shoot through fat, sir Pardon me. I was thinking What have you got? Why pistols rifles shotguns?  Oh, here's a nice little item Looks pretty small.  Yeah You you think that'll do it? Oh mister that gun will I guarantee I use a gun like that myself single barrel light handy truly beautiful weapon bullets You got bullets or shells shells you use in this weapon now They're they're all kinds depending on what weight shot you want to use You choose it. I want one one box No one bullet one. Yeah This rat i'm not gonna miss It's time now he'll come out of that far door of the entrance and he'll walk this way because he's going to go into sardis for a drink I slide it out from under my coat and I smile and I say Goodbye Norman Pull a trigger heart or belly heart or belly Belly. Yes His cultivated porch Fatted with Hector's heart Yes, belly Am I invisible now?  I'm shocked Somebody call an ambulance. Won't do you any good Norman? You're dying.  Help please ambulance Godgunny did it right in the middle of 40th history. Oh He brought him in an hour though give you any trouble like a land Oh, I thought you'd like to know that guy. He's still kicking Alive He's alive. Yep. So you're not a murderer not yet. I brought your lawyer What's that? I'm your lawyer How do you do? Thank you They say he's still not dead Nobody's sinking how much longer they didn't say When he dies, I become a murderer. Yes They'll electrocute me Yes I must have been crazy. I thought of that What do you mean temporary insanity? I thought we might plead that. Oh, I don't we Because you threatened him before witnesses at least twice Went to a store chose a gun with great care waited for him to appear you did all this and then you shot him That's right. I did that's premeditated murder first degree murder So the temporary insanity thing is out way out the only other thing I can think of is that With the proof you were insane all along me insane, but of course not I should say not I mean What would happen? I mean if I were Oh, they get the psychiatrist in salmon you'll send you off to be cured. Yeah You seem very calm I'm an actor Gone and I sit here seeming very calm from time to time the god passes looks at me curiously I know it's not as mine. He's saying this. It's a cold-blooded murderer I know all my life. I've studied the human beings memorized their gestures tones expressions inflections emotions I've learned to probe every moment of my own experience from early childhood Searched out my every reaction emotion learned to feel a parallel emotions of others The stanislavsky method of acting I have it Know it because if we could prove you were insane all along But I'm not the insane man moves without motive and I had a motive. I know you I know actors You're no actor. Oh, I could do it again. No actor. No actor. No actor I could do it again Insane crazy nuts.  I'm going to have myself exonerated of his murder Yes, freed of the charges. It's so simple I can hear it Play the greatest role of my life Played without makeup without lights without script a cue I'm going to play a part strangely foreign to my nature I'm going to play a homicidal maniac Auto light is bringing you mr. Milton burl in rave notice tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater thrills suspense A campaign slogan for your candidate Right, oh senator the auto lights day full battery is the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use That's my candidate simple sound and superior slogan seems pretty dry to me will go Why am I droll dignitary? Let me tell you about my candidate's characteristics He has fiberglass retaining mats protecting every positive plate to help reduce flaking and shedding and senator Everybody votes for auto lights day full batteries because you can't buy a better battery for your car What's the opposition will come no opposition senator Why with a 70 percent longer life has proved by tests conducted according to a uh SAE minimum life cycle standards who would even think of opposing an auto light stay full battery. He's in will cox What did you say he was running for for the wonderful dealers from coast to coast who sell Auto light stay full batteries to the masterminded motorists who drive their cars to perfection with auto light stay full batteries The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use Better see your auto light dealer and get an auto light battery at once senator Good idea will come and remember senator. You're always right with auto light And now auto light brings back to our hollywood soundstage mr.  I didn't mean to kill it, but I had this stick It was in an alley this cat and I poked it just for laughs. See he didn't run That's all I wanted to do was just to make him run Oh, he scratched me and I hit him he hit him across the back with the stick and he started this howling and squalling and oh, I thought Oh, I thought I'm gonna get into trouble. Stop that noise Stop that noise.  I am I kill for the thrill of silence of the cat I am a murderer a murderer. I am I kill without reason That's it. That's it. That's the character all I need for turning it on is the memory Those key points gray cement cat's eyes my feelings as a six-year-old Oh, there will be refinements. I'll refine it Oh norman if you're only here to see the scene In the house lights raise the curtain Now to get my audience in What's that sounds like the shotgun guy. He's laughing. We better go see what's up Who may I ask are you? What? Why why why oh, oh come on now mac calm down. I asked the civil question and I expect the civil answer Why why why you was so nice and quiet for a while. Yeah Hey, just answer my question. That's all I ask and that's not much reward for a hero to be asking now Is it don't you know who we are?   What does it matter better than that sam?  That's you guilty and you want to be punished Yeah, punished punish yourself. That'll do it But a little hurt so what so what not like it hurts when they shave your head and slit your trousers and strap you to your seat Oh, that's seat 10 000 volts coursing through this poor player's frail body with which I am cursed Murderer should be punished should be punished one Two three curtain going up Guilty guilty There he goes again. You go. Ah, what a job Murder murder I murdered him. I am a murderer I'm a murderer and I confess it. I confess Hey, I want to confess it. You don't have to do that Confess to purge myself of this guilt But you did all that when you first come in here. I am a murderer. I am guilty here I smashed him. I smashed him.  He is dead. He's been dead these past 36 years 36 years.  Hey, I am guilty. I'm guilty and I shall be smashed as he was smashed Your hands.  I shall be smashed.   I'll be sure I can lose this young thing when I get out of here When?  I'll open the cell if you want to go there. Of course I do How long has he been doing this? Well about 15 minutes doctor since just before he sent Schultz after you I think All right now you can stop that I don't stop. I don't stop. I I don't look I keep right out of the keep in the pot Murder and guilty it hurts But if I keep at it if I keep at it, I'm paying a price I am paying my way out of being electrocuted. I'm gonna be freed. I can only keep it up I'll stop it. You aren't doing yourself the real good this way man. I'll put it out All right, quick Leave me leave me alone. I want to pay I am the guilty one and I want to pay the sentence to the car. Hold him in come on Let me go. Let me go. I must pay. I must pay now. I'll steady steady At the timing needle He's pressing the syringe. It'll knock me out. I can't act. I'm unconscious I can't play the part I'm guilty I can't I can't So quiet here So white Such sweet stillness and peace Gone the darkness of the Field and concrete and the cell this white ceiling. Well, they're watching me very carefully The taller one. He's new The other gave me the hypodermic. Yes Oh, if I've been out did I say anything while I was out? Perhaps if I keep still where we'll let me know I must have been wrong Are you awake you say he showed definite suicidal tendencies suicidal immediate or simply self destructive While it was unconscious I listened to him he spoke He seemed under the delusion that he is invisible invisible.  No, there's something to quiet you a little while ago a little while ago You're trying to injure yourself that we think you're insane. You've decided to give that up, haven't you? If you only let me go let me out of here I have to carry out sentence, you know But how would you carry out sentence he smashed I am to be smashed as I have smashed the cat Is that the law an eye for an eye and a two through two You believe in it You believe in the eye for eye law.  You mean shotgun, don't you? Why would I say shotgun if I meant stick?  What happened? What what what came after he was dead? Oh I was I was frightened. I went home mama was there. She said how did you get blood on your hands?  I understand you're an actor We are all actors We try to act innocent when we are guilty Doctor come outside the moment will you I've got them I've got them just keep playing it cold and clear What are they talking about out there? I wish I knew I have them I know that I've got them I've got them Well, I guess you'll be leaving us soon Well, that's what I asked for Thank you. Thank you. You're understanding doctor. I am guilty and I must carry out sentence You you know that what the doctor means is that you're going to a place where they'll help you to get well Get well, but I am well I'm just guilty that's all If you'll have the uh, David's drawn up outside instead of court order committee Nice means you were right all along You know, I will be sure until you've told me about the man who was shot About his recovery. Oh, yes The guards told this man he'd recovered, but uh, he didn't comprehend it He went right on screaming and punishing me See Well, let's go What would they have given him? Uh, were he saying? Well, that depends the injured party refused to pass charges He'd be out of here in an hour Recovered Recovered they didn't tell me he'd recovered How could he've recovered? I shot him. I shot him in his fat porch in his belly When did they tell me? It was while I was screaming maybe I was really into the part then deep in it Couldn't have heard them couldn't have heard and now Now he will walk out of here and I will go off to an insane asylum Married to a role that I loathe that I hate No No Doctor come back here come back here. Please. It was all a joke. Doctor come back come back What is it? Listen doctor, listen, I have a confession to make doctor. I'm not insane. Please believe me. Please believe me question Uh, that's a little confused.  It was just a gag. Of course it was now you're going to a place Where you can rest and everything's going to be all right. Oh, no, believe me. Believe me. I am sane Why shot? I'm not shouting. I only want to impress upon you. You were shouting rather loudly Oh look I shot and my lawyer said if I could prove insanity. I wouldn't go to the chair chair I thought you were to be uh, you said mash Forget that that was part of the method method, you know the stanislavsky method. It's a system of acting What do you think? I don't know. I assume you're telling me this. I can fool you all over again If you feel it's necessary to prove my point. No, I don't believe you'll be able to fool me again Well, doctor sane I say sane. I say the man is in full control of the faculty is aware of his crime Committed it out of what society called sober motive and you sir you agree with the doctor It's what I've been telling you and I say sing That makes it unanimous Oh Glad that's over. Wow What a performance gentleman never in the history of the theater has such a performance been rendered nor under such adverse condition Uh, just one more question. Shoot. Shoot. Why did you kill him? I Kill him but I I didn't I I shot him. That's all Shot you you mean shot, don't you? Well, don't you? No Hey Norman is dead and you were sane You're going to repay society with your life Norman is dead Oh Fratuary villainy Bring down the curtain Bring down the curtain Suspense presented by auto light tonight star milton burl Well, will talk did your candidate win win senator Why the auto lights say full battery is the winningest candidate the polls have ever produced And this winsome leader is only one of over 400 auto light winners for cars trucks planes and boats made by auto light in 28 plants coast to coast These include complete electrical systems used as original equipment on many makes of america's finest cars Spark plugs batteries generators coils distributors electric windshield wipers starting motors bullseye sealed beam headlight All engineered to fit together perfectly work together perfectly because they're a perfect team So friends don't accept electrical parts supposed to be as good Ask for and insist on auto light original factory parts at your neighborhood service station car dealer garage or repair shop Remember you're always right with auto light Next week on suspense miss Barbara stanwick as a woman who gambled and the stake was death in the wages of sin And in weeks to come you will hear such famous stars as richard widmark pervert marshal and william holden All appearing in tales.

The closer you will be to the microphone, the silencer it could be and the sound is better. What do you think about it? From the vendor it is, normally we don't start from the vendor. I'd say it depends how much we have. And we have some lags still in the game. Sorry I had to jump. So I think we can start right now, good luck. Hi everybody, I'm just going to play the game for a short time so you get a good impression of what we built with Blender game engine. While I'm playing I'll just tell a little bit about the game itself. So you are Brian Lofield, you are a convicted marine that has been convicted for murder. He did not commit and they locked him up in an abandoned prison and from this abandoned prison you had to escape. It's a third person action-adventure game combined with stealth elements. And you have different kind of challenges in this game. Because the main objective is to get to escape unseen. This is the main goal of the game. And I can show you some of your challenges. It's a little bit difficult to talk and play at the same time. Or I can just look here. Why is it so difficult? For example these guys over here, they are your enemy. And they are very attractive to sound so you have to be very silent to escape. And I can give you an example. The sound, the voices at the moment are not open. You can play the game with the Xbox 360 controller or with your mouse and keyboard. And currently we are also working on the UJER controller support. And we have been working on this game for two years now. That's in about six people, six to nine people. And we are in beta currently and in November we want to go into alpha and we want to release in December 22. I don't know what to do. But sometimes we still have a lag. At the moment we have a lag in this level. We did something wrong, I think, but the logic is still quite fixed. So you have these kind of challenges. You know door locks, you know, typically gameplay elements. So I need to get out. I need a kit, I guess. Oh, what's that? I like this game. Maybe I just play it for half an hour and you guys just watch. Isn't that a good idea? Then I don't have to talk either. Yeah, these are the kind of things that we still need to fix, you know, camera glitches and other stuff. And we attend three gaming conventions now, two in Belgium, one in the Netherlands. Quite big, first look, facts and game force. You have your inventory to see what you collected. It's a soap.  Definitely this is a placeholder. So yeah, this is what we've done and what we achieved till now with Blender Game Engine. I'm quite happy with the result. We still can improve it a lot, but we really want to wrap it up now and thinking of the release. So I'm just going to quit it now. One of the few that uses Windows as a... Sorry, guys. Well, anyway, my name is Wesley Blyliffens. I'm from the Netherlands, from Rotterdam. I'm 28 years old and I'm working for quite a while with Blender for over 14 years, I think, now. And I still enjoy it. I already showed you the production of... We were working on it for two years now, ready to release. And the goal of this presentation is to give you an insight about how we work, things that we come across and how we handle them. Unfortunately, I'm too short in time to go really into that. But if you have any questions, you can come over later. If you want to have more details or just buy the game and see how we made it, or torrent it, it's also a possibility. So how did we start it? Well, two years ago we just wrote a plan and I wrote the story first from the story. We wrote down the amount of levels and I wanted to have a goal that at least you can play this game for like three to four hours. And from that we cut it into quarters of 15 minutes. And from there we started to design the gameplay per level so that we had a good overview of how much we had to make. Well, apparently we had to make too much. So we deleted some levels and ideas. Yeah, this is a part of cutting it into pieces. Doing it completely wrong. I've worked at the game companies before. It's not so long but it's a professional. And then I was convinced that I would do it better than them. But that was a mistake. For example, when we started we just started making the levels and thinking, coming up with crazy ideas, scripting the gameplay elements, the control, the character, et cetera, et cetera. And after one year I realized that we did almost everything wrong. All wrong decisions. It wasn't solid enough to make a good system where you can keep on building up on. So we had to delete everything. So we actually built the whole game again. And that's why it took two years now. These are a few of the things that I would do differently now. Instead of just making the gameplay and the levels directly, you can better just focus on the assets. Just let the artist model the assets. You know what the genre is going to be. You know the time and place it's going to be. So just let them model for three, four months. It doesn't matter. But don't go directly into deep and start making that level and the gameplay. You can write it down first. And that's something I would definitely do differently. Per level see that, okay, which gameplay elements will I put in this level? What's going to be next? Then you can see the build up of your gameplay and see if it's good and logical. Not going too fast. Are you giving the player a chance to learn the mechanics? So we have quite some assets. And what we do is we make packages of assets. So for example, a vehicle asset package, pipe assets, et cetera, et cetera. And then we link those assets into our levels. And I just want to give you an example of such an asset or such a package. Let me see. Something nice. Vehicles preview. So this is just one vehicle. Oh, sorry. Why aren't you seeing it? Because I have to do this. So just a vehicle. This is just one object. For example, let me get something else. This is good. Loading the shaded mode down here. You can see the packages. So everything that is for the outdoor, outdoor environments. We just put them together, see what fits together. And from there, we link them into the blend files. And this way you can really, you know, can keep track of your assets. And it's better for the artist. If you want to change something. And we have quite some assets, as I can show you here. And of course, organizing your game and your workflow is the most important thing, which something seems logical. But when you're starting and you want to make something so big and you're new to it, you tend to forget these things. So planning is better than directly going into production. We also used Photoshop and all of the Texas Army and DDS files, maybe some PNGs, because that's the best for the game. And if we can make another game, the next chapter, then we want to use Krita so that the whole game becomes open source and also by coincidence developed by Dutch people. Which is extra cool, I think. So let me just show you this. Another mistake that we made is when we were making buildings because we have quite some buildings, we were making floors and we were putting them on top of each other like a real building is. Well, that ain't so smart. And if you look at games in general, you also see that they don't really do that a lot. And why? Because of the cooling for the assets in your level. It's a little bit more complicated. So in the beginning, we were modeling like this, putting floors above each other. And now we are modeling like this, more from the left to the right. So when you want to go up to the second floor, you're actually not going above it, but you're going to the side of it. And if you really want to put it above each other, you have to put a big space between the two floors, which is just better for your cooling of your assets. So these are also things that we just learned by time. And we didn't analyze the other games and how they do it because, you know, you don't think of these kind of things. And these are the things that we have learned so far. Yeah, another thing in Blender is the logic bricks. They're nice for if you don't know how to program, you can make some funny things with it. But really in a production like this, you don't want to work with the logic bricks. So we try to avoid them as much as possible. And we really make use of properties a lot because it just makes it more solid, less buggy, and we are more in control. And I'm going to show you right now what I mean. For example, our light source. I have here a picture of our light system. We just have one light that causes the shadow. This is the only way that you can keep the frame rate acceptable. And what we do is we have those cubes all over in the level, and the light just follows you and follows and gets the settings from the cube. And as you can see here at the right, you see the properties. And we almost do that for all gameplay objects, for doors, puzzles, sounds, pickups. With a raycast we check what the properties are and then we see what we have to do. And this works quite well. You have various of settings. The light source is just a property that the engine knows that the light should go here. RGB, we can set the color values, the amount of how fast it changes the distance. So at what distance it should be activated. Color speed, how fast do you want it to color blend? Blend is if it actually has to blend or not. And the strength, how strong the light is. And what we do is it starts from zero and when you come closer the value becomes stronger. So you don't really see that we're using one light, otherwise you just walk into a room and all of a sudden there's a light. That's something that you don't want because that's a little bit strange. So we just fix this with blending the light or the value of the light, that's what I should say. And I can give you another example of a door. We just have the cube with physics and here again you see that it's an interaction and it's a type of interaction door. The door type is locked so it means you can't open it and what kind of sound you have to play, the volume and that it has a camera collision. And this really works well in Blender because your system becomes much more solid. Then you don't, if you do this with Logic Bricks you have to check, am I using a keyboard? Am I using a mouse? There's all the things that you don't want to do. So this is really one of the best ways to fix that. Same goes for sound, I can show you the last one. It's the floor. We just tell it it has a ground collision, the material and that's all and we can put anything there but we have in a sound system we have a crazy amount of sound that it knows how to play the sound when you're walking on a certain surface. Is there anyone that has a question so far? Yes. We do it with the rate cost. We ask which object it is that you are colliding with. No, I wanted to know how do you read the input because all the examples I've seen so far they have a block for key W expressed and then you link it to some motion of your character but if you don't use these how do you get the input from the user? Okay, that's the next slide I'll talk about this. Oh, I explained that. Yes. Please repeat the question to the microphone, okay? Where you are. You are doing the level design. You are not putting the floors above each other but next to each other more or less. That was for the overview to keep a good overview of the level? No, for the culling. It culls better the assets away because the culling doesn't like it when there's not enough space between it. He doesn't know what to do. Okay. Yeah. I don't know if it's really something you blend or in general but you see and I pay attention especially to the PlayStation 2 generation games that they almost don't do it, build above each other and another thing is with the light example it's also easier for us when we just keep everything straight because if a light has to go one floor above we also have to check that yeah, is it not too high, not too low is it really that room that the light has to go through so also that is an advantage for us to work like this. So it's more creating space in the environment to keep the calculations down, let's say? Yeah, to actually give the engine a chance to handle it better that's what it's all about. Thank you. You're welcome. No questions any further? I see another hand raised. Just to then because I'm a little bit short of time. What was your motivation to go with the Blender game engine? Because I love Blender. Because I know that it was possible to make a game like this with Blender and I just wanted to prove it has been a dream for me for like for a long time and to keep it short I've been busy with game development for a long time and 13 years ago Blender was like the only package available that you can actually make a game and create anything with it not that you're sticking to a first-person shooter like the Unreal or the SDK at the time or the source engine it was really a free and open thing you can do anything that you want and it was the only thing that was free available. Nowadays it's changed a lot the indie industry has changed more opportunities about 13 years ago that was completely different so yeah it's more of a dream and the love for the software. No questions? Okay. Yeah, so the question about the input we made the character the first time and it was really horrible we just had like the mesh of the player and then we just had empties everywhere around it following the player and I was like this is not gonna work so we just throw away everything and we started from scratch again and we just sit down for like three days with three guys, one of a friend of mine Robert Saunders helped me he had like a 25 year experience in programming and we come up with this solution as it says again take the logic brick and run like I said you don't want to stay in Blender when it comes to the programming why do you want to have control of what's going on so take the logic brick and run away as fast as you can you see there the input keyboard mouse and xbox controller uja controller but they're actually the same it goes into a Blender controller the python and then it goes to our staff and what we actually did is we built a command pattern for the input and this works really well and we just take really take our time to make this so solid why because from that point we can build upon it and even till now I think it was almost like eight months ago we didn't touch it anymore we just build it one at one time right and we could continue from that point so what it does is just takes the input translates it into a command put that in a stack and it just pops up the commands from the stack and tells the player what to do walk, turn, so on and so on the same goes for the camera just a stack with commands that's all and later we actually realize that we built a command pattern and another important really important thing of our system is the state system in the beginning we just have like if and else statements all over the place if it's not Monday you're not crouching and you're not turning and not doing something crazy then you are allowed to open the door that ain't gonna work so we had to come up with something else and we come up with a state system and what we actually do is the following let me show you sorry what you mean? sure, yeah sure thanks, thanks, yeah this is our string library and this is how we handle it it looks a little bit chaotic but it works really well and what we actually do is we make different kind of states the player can only have one state at a time and tell the player is that listen when you are in this state you are allowed to have another state for example if you are in a shaft and you're crouching you can't stand up and what we do is we just tell that here which state it's allowed to go so then we don't have to make an if statement because it just knows that it can only go to states that are allowed in a certain state and this works very well after that we the state system became so much much more simple and you can also activate states from another state it's a little bit technical so if you really want to see it more in depth just come over after the presentation I'd love to show you how we build it and to come up with this command patron and the state system just took about like three days in pair programming and from there we just build the rest and then I have to press F5 you said just press every F that you have so the new refactored system is our AI system you just saw the guard we don't use a navigation mask in blender why because we want to have control again I really don't like it it's not full screen I'm so sorry stupid you should go to Linux and not stay with Windows this is my punishment as you can see here on the screen there are certain waypoints and we use the A star algorithm to build a path for the enemies and the enemy can actually also put a new waypoint in the level in real time for example when you're kicking somewhere making sound you just put a waypoint there and build a path through it so he comes to see and check what you're doing because sound is also an important thing of one of our game mechanics and we have different enemies like dogs, cameras and helicopters and we are building an enemy manager so that there is an overall manager that knows what the player is doing what's going on and then the enemy manager can start making new situations for example when you're kicking somewhere he can send a guard tell another guard that he needs some help go there check what's going on or the dog is barking then the enemy state manager knows that the dog has discovered something the guards, the two nearest guards can go there etc etc so that's really nice and it's really becoming an advanced system it's an enemy it's a state veteran that they built I didn't make the AI system so I don't know 100% in depth how it works and also crazy stuff like that they can walk on the stairs for us that's really nice when they can do it when they achieve it nice where's my mouse I have one minute left yeah well I just wanted to talk about these things when I have some time left but I think I'll just answer the questions for now does anyone have a question so far yes it will be distributed through Steam and Desura and we're also thinking of retail distribution but we're seeing the possibilities license what license it's not true that you can't release GPL license products on Steam we are Greenlit by Valve itself and we have a launcher where we do the DRM check and later in the game somewhere else we do again a check to see that you really got the copy legal of course you can continue like this forever you can break it blah blah blah it's a sort of small check to see that you get it legal or not but we don't want to spend too much time on security issues we just hope that people that like it support us and buy it and if not then you can also turn this but it is possible to release a game on Steam with Blender why did you say I didn't hear you the source code is available you can just check it doesn't matter yeah it's open source you can do everything the assets the whole game everything I think that something that we really should do people can learn from it but also we can learn from it unfortunately we do not have enough time to refactor everything there is some ugly goat in it but we hope that if we sell enough we can make another game and we will make a better system and at the end we want to see that we can make some sort of template that we can give back to the community so that you can easily also with this system the last thing that I want us to show is that we also did motion capture so much to tell it was the school of art and design and Rotterdam supported us to do the motion capture we're really thankful for that because everyone was nagging about the animations and we recorded the motion capture put it into motion builder and later we cleaned it up in blender with a script that was somewhere on blenderartist.org and that's how we got the motion capture into blender we also shared the motion capture data on the blender art form you can download it if you like we are finished thank you one last thing sorry I'm going to set up a computer upstairs if you like you can play the demo till the end if you're good enough thank you


All right, it's time to get ready got my thermals Got our hat on got our uniform on. It's time to go get busy what we're gonna be working on as a generator We're not gonna work on this generator because this is my generator and this is what I used to get my house up and going This stays inside the garage where it's nice and warm and it's when it needs to run I come over to it. I turn it on I choke it and then I Start it right up got a little Core there goes right into my heavy-duty plug there, which goes in my breaker box I have a special disconnect build on it It starts up it runs and it powers the whole house hasn't given me any problems yet granted It's only got 81 hours. So it stays on standby. I got the battery replaced this year And I keep tracking my changes and stuff I actually write down the hours that it was done at what kind of oil I've got so what we're gonna do though is we're gonna go work on a home standby generator and See what's wrong with it. The problem with today is it's about 15 degrees and it's snowy Let's go take a look at it and see what's going on and see if it's not a battery issue fuel issue snow issue or maintenance issue Now one of the other things I didn't mention it could be is the environmental Some of these generators don't like to start when it's extremely cold now They do have cold weather kits for them that helps out quite a bit and they've made some major Fruits over the years with electronics changing like they do all the time You know the first generation didn't have choke. They didn't have heaters They didn't have a lot of stuff the brushes with freeze into place They just have a fit they lock out on undervoltage because they couldn't make voltage because the brushes are frozen in place A lot of things affected them So we're gonna go take a look at this one. They just said it has a red light I'm not sure exactly what it is. It's causing it So we're gonna take a look at it see what's going on But you know something to consider before you guys go in to start servicing generators is Think about what when you're gonna be working on them They always break when they're needed when are they needed they're needed in the extreme cold Extreme hot when it's raining Snowing basically extreme crappy weather. So before you hop into it Just make sure you're ready to work in this kind of weather. I can't imagine why May not have started and ran, but we'll take a look Gotta remember You got to bring a shovel with you just in case because as you can tell the truck's not really built for snow I mean I weigh it close to 10,000 pounds, but It It's amazing how easy these can get stuck so it What I'll do is I'll pull in I'll back up and forth a few times And in that way I try to get myself a path and also try to point my nose to the roads It's a lot easier to get out Let's uh, let's go talk to the customer and find out what the complaint is Can't get to the front door that way. So I guess we'll just walk through the back. Hopefully we can get to somebody All right, well, they'll probably hear me out here working There's no way to get to their door and I don't think they want me trudging through the thing So we have a RPM since loss I'm gonna tell you guys right now. It's not your do-yourself channel Like I said before it costs money for us to go to school for these things I am doing this for the guys that need extra help not saying I'm all that because I don't do near the many as I used to but a lot of times, you know, it's Just the normal things that need maintenance You can see that the snow probably got sucked into there and it wouldn't surprise me with these crazy temperatures as brushes might have froze But that's just kind of free judging it See we're rat on our oil make sure the obvious stuff's taken care of which looks good enough Check my filter make sure we got ice and all that in there, which does not appear to be Don't see any oil down there in the air filter area Be careful these boxes man. They get cold. They get brittle We'll go ahead and reset this thing. Take it to off inner service form sure Inner switched off back to auto ready to roll. Let's go to manual see if it starts to start and run and Lucky there RPM sense loss, you know what that is boys and girls. That's we spend a lot of money on a generator But we don't replace the battery when it needs replaced Generally the battery I recommend is changed every four years I don't care if you normally get more out of that and then that but you spent this much money on it Spend the money on a new battery every four years I'm gonna go ahead and check the battery make certain that that's what's going on But I can just about tell you that's what's going on. That is probably one of my most common things This is one of the newer ones which You got to take this whole right hand corner off here Which I think it pops off on the side. I Believe we got just take these out here. So I gotta go grab some tools Kind is better for the overall part, but kind of a pain to butt to you two other ways All right So First thing I seen was the battery Cable they're using now as garbage Look at that. I Don't know when they went to this. It was fairly loose. These are some some of the best batteries out there the X side here, but when we check the Battery here, they put it under a load It drops down about ten point four ish area The battery might be just a little bit low, but at the age we've got here. I'm going to recommend we replace it I bet you if we check the water levels, they're probably low also so One thing about this cover the way they switched it which was pretty nice is You can actually get the battery out so that's pretty sweet I mean that was one big improvement, but this right here those things are just asking me broken off so They would have made about something more resistant. I guess it would have been fine, but Unfortunately, those just aren't cutting the mustard right there at all I'm going to pop the top of that cover there and look in the water levels I have mixed feelings on Serviceable batteries are not myself personally. I prefer serviceable batteries, but most people don't ever service them So I check the battery water levels fine. I'm going to leave it up to the customers their money and let them make the decision See if we can see a date on this out here too August 17 is that what it is? Even if it is I mean it had a good connection and good enough that it would change transferred power To the thing to start it. I'm going to Hold that ground tighter to it. I'll pair up pair of vice grips on there and see if it'll start it if it will great I don't like the fact that it's not charged And relying on the charger of the generator to charge it's not a good idea It's just a trickle charger. We went ahead and got a pair of vice grips on there This is on the negative terminal so we won't have any issues with shortening. It's outside of the thing I'm going to see if the thing will start now It does start customer said she wants it replaced either way So that's a good sign We'll go ahead and go get them one one of the batteries that way they're good to go Got to check through here see how many hours are on it too. She wants to schedule up a maintenance on it So it's good to know that this one's going to start. This is a this is one of the newer ones Which these are the ones I've had the least problems with I believe Without going through my books because like I said, I do maybe four or five of these a year now I just don't do them like I used to so the um The software on these ones is able to be updated through the usb port there And they add us a few tricks to it to allow it to run longer so that it would Wear off any ice it gets on the brushes and stuff like that So I'm going to go get that real quick and get her put in here All right, so we got her cut off here I don't like these type of clamps. I like the solder on style But I would had it going all the way across town and spent quite a bit of extra Time doing that and since we're going to come back and do the maintenance on this in the summer I told her we could just bring those when we come back I'm going to go ahead and spray these terminals down and then get this thing up and going I got that one done it up being a simple one.  So it must be softening up the eye of the snow a little bit She had that real fine pea gravel stone, which doesn't get any traction. So Batteries changed got it scheduled as you see it in there. She had 19 hours of runtime on it That's all it's ran now for the last 18 19 20 21 for the last four years. It's ran 19 hours Um, so that's that uh, we got scheduled up for in the summertime when it's decent weather Like I said, I don't like those clamps. I prefer the kind that you can solder on they make a nice good connection But I didn't want to come all the way across town to go get it. So anyhow, that's just one of the simple things So my advice to anyone out there that has a generator As far as homeowners, the only thing I recommend is keep your battery changed every four years If you don't want to that's up to you you can pay somebody to come out at nighttime or on the weekend And you can pay twice as much Or, uh, you know, you can just be proactive and get it taken care of The cost of the generator is very, uh costly So a couple bucks for a battery is not that much money when you look at it in the realm of things So anyhow, um That's going to wrap that one up if you like it, you know what to do until next time guys We'll catch you on the next one


Alright, good morning everybody, welcome back to another stream, hopefully you guys are doing great. Without further ado, let's get started. I ended up missing yesterday again, sorry. Didn't mean to miss it, just ended up sleeping just that extra hour, and waking up just shy of another one to be streaming, but it sort of came down. Didn't miss much yesterday, I mean, yesterday it was pretty much just a rebound or whatever they did on Monday, and Monday was, we already covered, it was just that downwards movement that we're expecting, come out from it. So it's about the two levels that came up, I mean, first levels of course, just coming in here, and then the next level was the agreed play just coming up here. Which ended up hitting on that second pass, giving a nice little double bottom, as you can see from there, hitting up high, and then coming back down, all the way to 50% of that last week that we mocked up. Nice little point for us where they instantly recovered, again from that changeover that we had there, and New York just rebounds, gives you a nice little point to come into that later point, just at the end of Asia, and pushes itself, London ends up recovering the entire thing, then we're back where we started, next time New York. Now this, yesterday, pretty easy, didn't even need me, nice little point where they just came back down, took out the stop here, as you can see, nice little stop on yesterday, and then pushed along, and then there again, another sort of midnight move coming in from Asia, it ends up hitting it now, we sort of find ourselves in this outside area here, nice little outside point, taking out the range high, that we made on Monday, nice little weekly high, London end up consolidating into this nice little flag, we're expecting at least price to try and push itself down, all things considered, because we had that nice little stop on, printing out retail patterns, we're looking at this and saying, ah okay, they pushed up high, they printed out retail patterns, they're giving you a nice little double top here, the various move on this offset, they've been sitting over to the book map over for you, go ahead and look at where they potentially went along, good game, there we go, there's your trap, that's where they hit with that double top, there's your initial trap that they had here, double price below this sort of marker, and it is now falling below this marker, so we've got our further point here, where they've trapped longs, and you can see that's what they came on to, on this point, it always shows that, they just trapped liquidity, and now they're on their way, pulling it down, hitting it here, so we might expect some retracement to come out as long as they stay below 28, 600, they're about sort of looking at that and just saying, ah okay, there's your cover, there's your fucking cares, probably see that pushed down much further, getting potential up from right to right, squeeze itself all the way back into sort of that's 200, at the very least, but very sort of sharp sort of pushed down, again, instant sort of shape recovery, so you're expecting people to buy this up around this point here, so we might expect, ah, could you back down within the same bar, or have a little bit of stress was induced, but generally as long as we're sort of below this sort of area, given our current sort of trapped liquidity, then we sort of say it's considerably bearish, again, that'll be your test where you can come in there, so yeah, that looks pretty negative, we'll continue the pressure downwards, but times for today will come in, look at it, nothing sort of too major, we've got trade balance, which is important, didn't really take it favourably one way or the other, minus sort of from a species, 10 o'clock, standard times, doesn't look like there's any sort of negation, doesn't look like there's any sort of special point, we have trade balance, sort of affecting it here again, a sort of delayed response I guess, then we've got 10 o'clock on this sort of close to conclude it, good flush, yeah, good flush, so that was a nice flush out liquidity, so now we have that good flush out of the way, we'll see if it sort of drags itself further down, and in preparation sort of for a rebound, so we've got a potential look out for that as a possibility, so if it continues up higher, just from taking itself a bit lower here, then come 10 o'clock it sort of pushes higher of the week, yeah probably, but my only concern is again, it sort of hit this very negative very quickly and on this sort of time here, they could easily recover as soon as they clear out the bats that were left here, again push it down a couple of bars, come in and here, doesn't make sense to continue it all the way until just Kingdom come, so maybe at some point we get a nice little bounce, then you can catch, as long as it's sort of below here again, you can probably reassure that, but once we start moving higher, you can potentially look for it to try and push the envelope, at least some certain extent, because looking at this again, we still have Friday, and if you sort of go through Thursday, it should be relatively quiet day, Friday again is where you've got your sparks coming in, there's a non-fun pair on unemployment, so we always count those, especially considering they're only two days away, so you've got to figure out, okay, is this going to create an inflection point until Thursday, or is this just going to try and recover and then Friday opens up much higher, then just collapses, so it really depends on what they do today, or sort of make my expectations for Friday, we'll see if they lead it downwards, but again, they've got pretty sort of narrow doors down, unless they're trying to completely collapse it here, you only really have this place here, and maybe, to some certain extent, low here where you've got to come in, target these levels, trade around the 50, but moving down further just starts opening doors for just too much, I think, in the way of moving downwards again, wouldn't make really too much sense when you start sliding lower and lower, if you sort of push it down this far before Friday, send the risk of looking at it and just saying, okay, Friday's just going to end up giving you a double bottom like that, and she's in too bad, but at the same time, she's in the best in terms of completionary sake, if you start looking at where the spot book is, and especially the collection that it had on the rise here, again, we've got this area of selling that was reduced so of the last last week, again, a lot of selling, then finally got them back, you have them back here, and even to some extent here, they started buying up, which is very weird, and then sort of peeked out here again, now we're sort of starting to see them panic sell a bit, so we'll see how far they can sell into, again, we're looking at potential point of just earlier, they no longer sell because they haven't said to sell, we do have sort of walls that were built up, and it's price sort of cleared to certain points, again, they're sort of non-secretaires, so you don't really pay attention to them at least from now, at least sort of interesting one that instantly got put up is that 29k wall, pretty much fervent the whole time, again, even with price fluctuations that cleared it lower, here and here, just stayed relatively strong here, it's just one stationary wall, nothing sort of changed here, few sort of changes here and there, but relatively just keeping it as one single bit smack dab here, pretty interesting to see how when they end up hitting it, when they end up hitting it, they end up hitting it today or if they wait for it a bit before committing to it, mostly to see the same sort of wall come in on future, but again, it's just comes in now, generally, it's how it is, and it's only sort of committed up from there. Would you add a short from 28600 I mean, we still haven't closed this bar and we have already sort of recovered this, so it's half off, I mean you're probably waiting on the next one to fully commit, just because this one just instantly snapped back everything within the first candle here, so you've got plenty of you've got chances to try and push it in, but structurally it's just closed itself here, they showed that they've just wanted to try and they're just trading in the mess pretty much, so you've got easy chance to try and reclaim, if they're going for a short time to try and reclaim then push it back at the same time, just sort of feel it further down and just continue down from there on this point of view here, it's just the trap instantly got snatched up as you can see where they're just trading between the sort of times when here I mean, they've tapped it a few times up here, but it's just okay it's just easy to recover this and get up back into this area here and just absorb a bit higher and once you get that absorption a bit higher, you can then try and hold it up here once you get that hold you can then from there maybe pull it down but better chance they hit it much higher but again it's just possible this is at this case see where they have that sort of force wall, so if they do end up pulling it down, if they do end up coming down and they're hitting it they hit it here and there's a nice point where they just create a very shallow double bottom where they push up try to take it a bit higher again that's that sort of pitfall that I was talking about that may come that's the one you're concerned about and she's someone who has a pit very sort of a deep clean sort of bottom but just not too many sort of intermediate levels here you go again come back to these sort of bottom walls here sort of just miss this area so maybe we'll get that some tide change over but already very much progressing a lot faster without the need of pulling it a bit lower so my reactions here they remove that instantly here as they sort of push up higher again very sort of large reaction out of it coming in from just trapping this short here instantly pushing you up trying to push up and think are they trying to go for that all up top who knows I think they can make an easy break for at least sort of try hit 800 and see that's where my apprehension came from scary for my shot again it's just there's probably a better chance at the chance short there I mean still not too bad all things considered I mean you still have a lot of space to push up higher again we already know that we've got walls up here and here sort of contend with as a potential point I mean this one is a more sort of stagnant one when you have sort of what greatest of overhang when you go there from there you might just be dirty and hit up much higher or hit up around here you know looks like they came for you in sort of balancing out here sort of trying to even it back down it's interesting how all things are considered I mean if you look at where things have come again over the last couple of days this end of hanging around staying in for just pushing itself a bit higher and higher then you get that sharp correction there but generally no mind paid to it continue to sort of maybe we'll see it if it starts pushing up push up who knows what what ability it has generally I mean if it can hold above here and seeing these sort of levels play out it can try and at least take out the intraday sort of level here up until this point if it can push up past that point to go up into target double top from there maybe expect start selling and that sort of will translate nice into Bitcoin to try and hit up that high if it needs to but generally where it's at currently where it's at currently I would say I mean that's large explosion was nothing I mean it's a nice little point and I thought paid to trap longs which is always a good sign if you want to go down sell it but looking how they sort of propping that wall up instantly here trying to keep it at least for a couple more minutes so I instantly removed it so it looks like they're done keeping it here at least for now not seeing any pressure on the other side so no real driving pull it down got a nice wall entered here now in the sort of split it is where we're interested in seeing it be held if it's sort of held here as in comes in and goes in there and then try clear up higher getting no real pressure from the upside just stopping stopping from going higher but at the same time pretty balanced on the other side as you can see these walls are running away so not really acting as resistance for a barbarian yeah pretty much I mean just stick to the timings man there's no use getting frisky especially when there's sort of news levels out because it doesn't even matter you see this and you're like oh cool I didn't know the trade balance was positive nope it wasn't they just wanted to get your money I mean the balancing out here and you can see where they're concentrating the volume it's just coming out this sort of high and you can see it on bulk map again but there's just having that slow little burn up here money to put back down and see coming back down so they're trying to get people short but again still sort of still has the intensity sort of to yo-yo so it would be a pretty much ill-advised sort of move to try to catch the short there but they're sort of waning out for it now again we're sort of just looking for stop on some new york range can we get that anyways back in the cathedral oh no I mean you're looking for clothes below here I mean then you're sort of trying to look at that and say oh yeah that's definitely trying to put it off down but move the body closer but again at the same time trading below that rate well that range that we looked at here again just coming back into this area here we're just pinning but at the same time just having bodies here so it's just really no man's sky at this point we have our maximum volume level here and it's the highest volume of today at any single sort of price point coming in at this point so it's very nice to sort of say okay below here okay definitely going down above there you can trade with them there as in reason as long as we're sort of coming I mean to like project here then we can potentially go down other than that everything else will just clear this level because it's not really a case of oh yeah this looks very bullish but they can make a lot of mess out of what they've put in and for sure this person here has clearly sort of wiped out or this person here is just instantly sort of regretting decisions to do that because next one came in and he's got large sort of quick came about that but we haven't sort of got the appropriate sort of counter trade that came in on the up top side so it's sort of stretchy out and sort of adds a lot of a lot more hurt I mean on the 4 hours you can see that they're just closing it off nice it's nice that it's just very liquid though which is they start running into risk I mean looking at the previous bars it's just like okay this just doesn't look pretty it's the best way to describe it it's very ugly little chart that we see here but not much of the less so you got to deal with the cars dealt with I mean the next 4 hours sort of takes doesn't sort of stop until a while so we've got the time I mean it's coming in here just seeing this sort of almost the third doji but I don't think it completes the third doji like this so we've got to look at it where people are sort of there's not a lack of volume we know there's volumes and markings within sort of this area here at the same time there's not a real movement coming in that means having fun playing with people I think that's the best assessment I think with the more likelihood chance of it going a bit lower though could be a nice little page or flip saw but again just waiting for it to try and show that it goes here pull it back see what we get on open again with getting the right amount of longs coming in which is always nice to see we're hoping that downfall but at the same time just stalling out in the center of this hole here so we'll see if we get the right amount of buys and if we can just try and collapse onto itself and again same thing happening for that spot here getting those buys coming back in again those people who are selling buying or someone's buying this area here with a large amount of bids coming in here instantly sort of phantom I mean nice little shadow iceberg here instantly sort of punished now we're sort of blocking trying buy have some buys then just fall down if it sort of starts moving fast it's going to take out some buys here I mean yeah just flashing red nothing fancy nothing to ride home about shocker of the day if they just come in and say you know what for today just go consolidate and just like god damn paid us I don't think they were I mean we're at the sort of fifth point here we've got sort of the see that sort of four hour here trap volume that's your last last sort of standard look normal looking bar this is your body closes and that's your wick and you can see how they trap volume in the wick they put it back it close all the bodies that here below the area where you have the trap volume we only come into it once we sort of clear the lower liquidity up to some certain extent generally we're just back at it again introducing the same amount of long volume being trapped so just come in and say okay it generally looks more as bearish than it does bullish and that's I can retest lot of levels we're not considering considering it to be a long we generally have some levels and say okay it's got some wings to try and push up into sort of this area and it's got that buffer into sort of this area and still be considered bearish being just got to give it up nice there's no need to be in sort of conditions now gold's increasingly high now higher everything's opening up green so there's going to be a point where they just flash that everyone just dies it's just slowly looking to get into that short mindset it might be that typical sort of Wednesday reversal that we get time and time again even if we don't get on Wednesday there's a delay for Friday so hold our hope it's just like if you don't get what we want today just come back Friday everything seems to be at a high so shouldn't be too concerning say that price itself drops its belly down again coming into highs for everything so makes sense to have a fancy everything's pretty high should come down at least a bit going up high I mean it's very much clearing that monthly level which is always nice up into this point here somewhat in sort of newer territories so coming into fruition has been here for a while so congratulations I guess a very long time last August nearly almost one whole year finally sort of breaking that sort of struggling period at least that it has here finally after a very long time just making above that next sort of daily market but again easy sort of fall below here at least try to retest the some of this range here at best case scenario I mean we've got all our volume trapped here at the same time for that we've got sort of screen blue dodges as well as this volume so it makes sense to try and at least sort of the best but again made a break for it finally cleared some level so it's nothing to sort of not not like I just say ah it's done nothing again it's done something done its best just done its best was good enough and just sort of having sort of weird times having sort of bids or areas here it's just not really ideal still holding sharing not too bad see if there's any sort of news printing off bullish news which is sad not too bad for a bearish outcome I mean they did sort of stall but at the same time not really getting too much just camera jinx on the spot just letting those bids escape now we've got some longs again same thing they're just letting short sort of pile up which is not really what you want to see if you want to see it price got lower really sort of tallying up I mean nothing to major coming about it and this is sort of holding off again just accumulating shorts it's not a significant amount which is decent so we still have some hope that it continues down but again just very lackluster looking at this just from a general sort of perspective just very sort of lackluster sort of sort of shorts and longs and both sides just not really committing to either have a look at it no deal very large sort of escape here that volume here again as long as it's below sort of that day marker there easy to say that will come down but anything above that you run the risk of consolidating then just up we go again this sort of accumulate shorts as people start to get oh yeah it's gonna definitely come down the more we can go around and run the risk of going into these higher walls but it doesn't look sort of too bad it's very sort of top heavy same time the first half coming in here you've already got people sort of hitting into this and adding sort of short volume here at least from what I can see some level as long as it's below this like I said you can see that try come down at the very least again nothing sort of too major looking very non-committal again just sort of mellowing out this is where you look for a side to break it's just very much tight consolidation essentially no comment from other side on now comes the interesting part and we see accurately say where price is gonna go at this point in time 50-50 I guess is my guess 50-50 but in case one scenario again talked about it come 10 o'clock so we've got a bit of short so we need to clear out a bit more but once we get that downwards take out the range low target range low, step one here again the best case depending on who you are here if we're going for a very deep point so if we stop out start brushing it depending on if we stop here or not we still have that available to us we might go here it just becomes a nice little bottom for it where this this needs some fire so you've got look at that alternatively we tape this and just flip this in its head where this just comes in here and just says we need to bounce higher we need to bounce higher take out some stops range high again add more if they add below easy sign to say I'll go short again if they're sort of coming in and just coming in below down up but you've got to see how much follow through they have come again through here and through here so but once we sort of reach here we've got that little bit of stretch overhang but then we've come very much out of not willing to try and short this in the sort of max see we want to give to it about from seven essentially the shy of that down this go from here to here essentially is where we're looking for like essentially a stop on for that weekly range if we're being very sort of conservative conservative is where normally you'd maximum case would say if we're sort of targeting and still have that bearish outcome it would be there for the week and we did hit there already on the start, on the open but hanging around here again it would be an easy hit in this part generally don't think we will too many blanket statements here I don't think we'll hit there even though it is a possibility still want to keep in the cards just depending on these next bars what will end up happening again we still have that short throw here we have that liquid is trapped here as long as we're coming back down and accumulating a long volume doesn't matter where we do it as long as it's packed in terms of where it sort of comes in out again just below these areas here and here again we've got this additional 300 here so interesting to see if that remains again to keep your eye on this if this stays stagnant that's just coming above the area here so again look for just below if it happens it happens not getting too much too many biters but if we get enough biters we can then push down again and we've got this wall pushing it back and buying pressure so it does sort of have some merit in saying okay they're just pulling price up just trying to get people to buy at the very least lots of things these false walls once they sort of push people up they push people to buy push out or spice there's the support buy it pushing it up slowly so buy it with us then once they sort of drop it they cut the line you can easily sort of push it down I think they got sick and tired of waiting for people to try and make decisions on here so again we want to see it fall up it's removed very short not really giving it time to sort of breathe because it didn't give it time to sort of breathe ah there we go fine you just reverse that flip the book again now we're just pressured on the other side I don't know if they clear it and they want to pull it to push it down you want to see it push it down same thing I said about that all you can just say about this wall if they remove it if we bring it upwards if they push it down with it more power to us they are probably under here I don't think I can have too much too much of the conversation we'll go for spy slash yes what's there so we're opening pretty much lower which is decent but we can see that the islands that we created and the gap ups that we created come here here then here ended sort of where we said on the third day the ended it sort of mellowed out gave you that stop on here push it back down now we're sort of riding the underside we have that extra sort of spread here but generally we're looking trying to see it reverse throughout the day probably push itself lower so again that being said we're probably expecting bitcoins to push itself comes into again unless we nip this very high here then pull it up possibilities has that so we have that possibility of it just reversing into there then just creating higher levels for it that would be a very low point and it still would be a low point where we expect that double what I'm coming in for this and this it falls through gain first areas here these are very low so we can consider that until much later but so we'll have a very ample time to consider these I don't think it just flashes the pan then recovers instead we'll have points where oh yeah there's points there and how they may come about we'll still have some level of time to react to that being said that's pretty much it again removed it they didn't need the pressure anymore time to back down see if they try to catch on this wall or if they go down further that sort of hitting that similar sort of piece and very disappointed in the level of longs that they needed push that down so we'll see if they try to recover some of it hmm yeah I don't think so again we need them to break this break this maybe cause it's not long and finally goes down broke it now he has to close below this point to try and admit otherwise it'll be just this here next candle I mean like depending on how we close this candle it's long for below here it's still considered and classified as a retest depending on how they print this out still classified as a retest within this so if they close this entire candle red to try to catch people out once we saw it also closes candle we see the level of which it opens up from the low point and from there we just try and call it that's something that you guys can do in your own time I mean you guys still have time to sort of the price of the advice again just look for stockpiles of the range they're usually the easiest plays to try and reverse a very sort of tight break with not too many sort of escapes without breaking any legs essentially there's that recovery but came on the tick level we'll see how they close this just go like this and flash it back later then come back as long as we love this still sort of have that desire to push it down we'll see if it stops on slow then they just try and push it in Asia like they have for the past two days when they push it Asia and they push it in Asia so we'll see if they work it outside of the New York window nothing that that's all I got hopefully you guys enjoyed today's stream so I have to be here tomorrow again I can always try my best but it just depends on my sleep schedule and what time I get to sleep essentially if I can wake up in time start hours like squeeze an extra hour and my body knows when the marker opens so that's when it wakes up have a fantastic day people trade safe I will catch you guys


Views were always part of news coverage but they were clearly identified as views. What is happening now is that the views have become part of the narrative and what is worse is from a traditional mainstream journalism point of view, the two things have happened. One is that people have themselves become journalists of short sorts. Yesterday's source is today functioning like a journalist airing a views on social media. Second thing is the rise of right-wing politics also means there has been a blurring of the difference between the idea of the objective narrative and the subjective narrative because yesterday's objective narrative based on values is being now seen as bias. I think the word create movement sounds a bit questionable to me because if brands create movements then they are not brands in the corporate sense of the term. It seems as if they are artificially manipulating the idea of social movement but they can write social waves, they can espouse or advocate social values which are desirable and most important they can also as from a corporate social responsibility perspective engage with social movements. This is where I think brands make a decisive difference.
