So we will have one CD, we have one copy of Fearless Change, and then this is a new book for beginners to Agile. I reviewed it and I have a little comment on the back. It's a very good introduction, a summary of the values of Agile. It's called A to XP, the Agile ABC book. So I'm going to put them right here and we'll get the CD, right? Or maybe we're going to play it a little bit after the talk. Okay, all right, great. So we don't need to look at me, we need to look at this. Can you give us a book that changed your life? And usually the questioner has in mind a book that I might have read or a book that I might have studied. And since I've been asked that question many times, I now have a good answer for it. And the answer is always the same. The book that had the largest impact on my life was not a book I read. It was a book I wrote. This is a book I started writing with my good friend Mary Lynn Mans in 1994. And what we were doing at the time was trying to bring in patterns and scrum in 1994 into organizations. And as we were doing that, we noticed that we were doing some of the same kinds of things and we thought these could be patterns. And those patterns have been reviewed and they've gotten feedback on those patterns from people around the world. They're patterns for introducing ideas into organizations. Now the book wasn't published until 2005. So in that 10-year period, I went from a person I would describe as a technical person who was a designer, who had a PhD in computer science, master's degrees in computer science and mathematics, bachelor's degrees in chemistry, a very technical person to all of a sudden being interested in people and realizing that the world was a lot more complicated than I thought. It wasn't so easy to convince people of good ideas that it really wasn't related to techniques that I thought I knew about convincing people. So from 2005 until today, I now concentrate on learning more about people and how people think.


Africa and Europe are interconnected just the way the global community is. That we have similar challenges, similar opportunities and there's a very strong sense of commitment to charting a new future for the partnership so that the two continents in a very sustainable manner can move the agenda through the centres of excellence that we want to establish. So the take-home again is that we have worked over the last few months as deputy vice-chancellors, vice-presidents to prepare the work for what direct the presidents and also the vice-chancellors are addressing today, approving today. So my other take-home is that the work has just started so we've agreed on a few classes that we want to take forward but really the hard work is whether we can deliver over the ten year period that we are envisioning this cooperation. Well I could see the motivation and enthusiasm of the Guild and the Aruba universities today to launch radically new initiatives that could become a game changer in the cooperation between the two continents on research and innovation. And with these centres of excellence we have the opportunity to address together challenges of high complexity that are of relevance for all of us. Now the next steps will be to work to design effective and share the governance models and to set up credible and measurable certificate plans as well as to ensure the commitment of the institutions also in terms of fundraising. The partnership between Europe and Africa is new so we have the Erasmus Plus, we have got Horizon that have set a very good foundation. So we want to build on that in a very sustainable manner by creating centres of excellence that can permeate wider communities involving the private sector, governments, universities, research institutions. So this coordinated mechanism will then in terms of bringing in capacity building for PhD, doctoral training, for example building infrastructure I think is a new. And so for us we see this as a new dawn that we are bringing elements that we are not there before in a very coordinated manner where there is partnership between the research intensive universities in Africa and Aruba and the research intensive universities in Europe under the Guild. So we are taking this partnership to the next level. Well to move towards meeting the sustainable development goals I think that we have to accelerate the transition of Africa towards the development model that is based on knowledge, research and innovation. And so we need novel approaches to scientific and academic cooperation based on sustainability, on capacity building and on scalability. In other words we need to set up new real cooperation between Europe and Africa on science and technology that will enable us to strengthen the long term cooperation between the institutions to favor the circulation of talents, the emergence of excellence researchers and of course also setting up centers of excellence jointly between the two continents.


Need some extra tools that you and your mods can use to keep chat moving and not derail the stream? Want to empower your mods a bit and let them help you manage your stream so you can focus on the game or the topic at hand in chat? Well, I've got a handful of useful commands for you to implement in Streamerbot that will help you with all of that. Hi friends, I'm Flare, and I'm a variety streamer over at Twitch.tv slash Flare. And I make guides here on YouTube to help streamers learn to use cool streamer tech. Today, we're going to be looking at some commands in Streamerbot that you and your mods can use to make things a bit easier during your stream and help you manage your Twitch channel. We'll be going through these all one by one and building them all from scratch. I'm going to provide an import code for all seven commands, and then we'll dig through each of them and I'll show you how they work. So let's get down to importing the commands and actions. The first comment on this video will have the import code you need, so go down there and copy that beast. While you're down there, let me know in the comments what your favorite moderation command is and what other bots you use, and I'll tell you how to move that command over to Streamerbot. If you're not familiar with importing and exporting commands and actions in Streamerbot, I've got a whole video about that, and I'll put the link in the description. But we'll go through it here as well. If you do have that big block of text copied, just load up Streamerbot and click the import button at the top. In the import string box, paste that big import code, and you should see seven items populated in the actions tab and also seven matching items in the command tab. Ensure that they're all checked and click the import button at the bottom. Alright, now we're done. Next video, we'll talk about some commands that you can... No, no, I was just kidding. We'll go through each of these one by one now and see what they do. The first two of these commands are for those of you who switch categories often. Maybe you stream for a long time and make it through a lot of games. Maybe you switch back and forth between games and just chatting, whatever the case may be. You or your mods can type exclamation title and then whatever you want the title to be and it'll switch for you. Similarly, you can type exclamation game or exclamation category and then the name of the category you wish to switch and it'll switch. Though this one requires, you know, the exact spelling of the category. In order to make this simpler, if you switch to a similar category all the time, like just chatting or maybe fall guys or something, you can make individual commands for each of those categories that you switch to often to make it easier and a little bit more foolproof. That way, you can just hard code the category into the action instead of having to remember the type the category exactly correct every time. These next two commands are more to show your appreciation for other streamers than they are to manage your own stream. But they're both commands that can empower your mods to help you out nonetheless. The first of these is the nearly ubiquitous shoutout command or exclamation SO. I've got a whole separate video about this one that goes through a more advanced shoutout command and I'll link that in the description. But I've included a simplified example in this import that'll call out another streamer with a link and a reference to their most current stream game, which is the most common use case I've seen for a shoutout command. The exclamation rate command of this group is significantly less common and requires a good amount of trust in your mods. You may want to lock this down to specific users rather than just any moderator, but it's easy enough to cancel if things go wrong. This is the exclamation rate command that lets your mod set up a raid for you at the end of the stream. All they have to do is type exclamation raid and then the username of the target and it'll set up a raid for you. Easy piece. Quick note, this can easily be canceled by the broadcaster through the UI in a raid pop-up or you can use slash un-raid in chat to cancel a raid. I want to take a moment to thank you all for watching. Ask that if you find this video useful at all, please hit that like button, consider subscribing to the channel and leave a comment. It helps me out immensely and it's free. I'll answer any question you ask in the comments and if I don't know the answer, I'll help you find it. The next one I don't see very often but I think it can be pretty useful.  But Flare, why on earth would I want my mods to run a commercial for me? That seems pretty disruptive. Alright, calm down. I'm not saying this is something your mods should do all the time, but I can think of a few examples of what times it would be nice to have this available. Say you're taking a break and your B.R.I. back screen is up, you're off fetching a drink or wrestling a toddler or whatever. Maybe your mods can use this time to run a quick ad for you to help keep pre-roll ads away when you return. Also, maybe you get hit by really nasty follow bots and suddenly you have 300 or 500 or 1,000 bots in chat causing trouble. This is a great time to run an ad and hopefully one of your mods will have the clarity of mind to run it for you while you're panicking trying to get rid of the bots. In any case, I don't see it being the most useful on this list, but we're talking about empowering your mods to make decisions and manage your stream for you and this is just another tool for their tool belts. These next two are mostly useful for keeping things organized. First we have exclamation marker where you and your mods can add a marker to the stream with an optional description. This can be seen in the highlight tool under video producer so you can go back and highlight a clip for good moment or some funny death really any other moment you want to be able to find a clip. Markers are dramatically underutilized in my opinion. Next we have an exclamation clip command that does just what it sounds like. It automatically creates a 30 second clip. It's unfortunate that Twitch doesn't add more options to this ability yet but it can still be a handy way to snag a funny moment without having to go to a new tab and miss out on what's actually happening next. What other commands have you given to your moderators to help you out? I'd love to hear about them in the comments. I'll be doing another video on commands for general users as well so keep an eye out for that one next. I stream on Sunday and Monday nights on Twitch and I'm always down to talk about bot stuff so come by and pick my brain. Or leave your questions here in the comments and I'll do what I can to help out. I'll answer every single comment and if I don't have your answer, I'll find it. Helping's my favorite. Thanks again for watching and as always remember to spread love, not hate.


Alrighty, let's take a look at the dog. Alright, so it's better through here, but what I would do is do a couple things. I think, and this is just because I'm picky, this seems very straight and faulty. I'll probably twist, tilt the head a bit at the beginning so it gets into this, right? I'll start off with this offset so that this feels like some of your rotational channels are at zero. In terms of the Y and the sideways twist, so just a bit more complexity there. What I would do is, the slowdown to me is here. Right now you're jumping and by now you're already slowing down. The other thing is he jumps or she runs and jumps. That's all the full power and the slowdown comes here. Now the dog is suddenly only able to hold on to this, gravity kicks in and this is where the slowdown starts. So this jump is going to be slower. I feel a slowdown through here already, so I would vary the timing a bit. You can make that a bit more explosive, but then this is the slowdown. She's here or she, all of that slows down a bit more.  And right now it feels like a very tired, which you might argue, well, I just want the dog to turn and land and not push off. But I think contrast wise it would be nice to go fast, fast, slow, fast. Just that is your burst of energy. Run, run, slow, bam, faster. So where this might be a bit more stretched out, I mean the head might be here, stretched out. That type of silhouette, so that this landing happens, I don't know, I'm guessing where that would be. It might be somewhere here. And then once you're there, let me just go back here. That's all cute. Once you're here, careful, you got a couple of moments towards the end where this area, this and the head all feel like one unit. There's no break up, especially through here. When you go up, this whole thing goes down and then up. There's no drag overlap and you haven't broken up any of these chest, neck and head areas. Same thing here, it just goes down, this goes down, especially with this pose. This whole thing goes down as one triangle. It feels very, very blocky. And then same thing here, it feels like the orientation is always the same. Even though here the orientation changes through there, this feels the same. And you're back in that same trap where this goes down as one big unit. Even if the legs stretch a bit, it suddenly feels very, very stiff. That would be my comment. Once you get to here, burst, full stretch, compression land around here instead of whatever it is. And then really work into head, neck and chest area, breaking them up, twisting the head around, giving you a bit more complexity. Once you're here, I feel like there's a certain bend to the dog. This feeling of, it feels like bent and bent. It feels like compressed in and never getting back to its stretchiness. That's my kind of impression of that ending part. It's like he ran and hit a wall and got all squashed and now he's unable to stretch out again. That's how it feels to the end. I think that feels, that's okay. Yeah, it's just a slow down. And I'm not talking a lot of slow down, but just a visible fast, fast, fast jump, fast, slow. Like once the dog hits the tree and stuff, slow and then fast again through here. You know, and this will be a good opportunity for a really nice twisting. You can even turn the head a bit more. Really turn and this is already turned in the wind. It's already looking at, that's this goal to go over there. Here, twisted and wide. The head is really looking over here. Really breaking up sections. That's the main thing that I see in terms of addressing right away to get rid of that, that blocky feel. Alright, thank you. Thanks for watching.


You're welcome back. Right now, we've said that the president, Ahmad Bollat-Tinibu, has been advised to go after barons responsible for bunkering. That's our second hot topic that we are going to briefly take on now. And we're glad to be joined by a political affairs analyst, Dr. Omoshallah Deji. Good morning and welcome to the program. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Okay, oil bunkering. We've been seeing news every day how oil is being bunkered and we don't know how to go about it. Salis now is telling the president to go after barons responsible for bunkering. What are your thoughts? Well, the president has to go after oil bunkers, looking at it from the perspective that Nigeria operates a mono product economy dependent on oil. What that means is that a large chunk of our resources, of our income is being earned from oil and gas mining and production. In that case, if oil bunkering is allowed to persist, definitely it's going to affect the income of the country and that has been on for decades. But government has not been able to adequately respond to it because the perpetrators, some of them are in government. Some of them are in top hierarchies in the military, in the police, in the Navy. But then the responsibility now for some government to see how the issue can be tackled holistically in such a way that the nation will not be at a loss. Why if you continue to profit from oil bunkering? But how possible is this because, okay, government go after these people and you've just mentioned that part of them or some of them are top government officials or top military officials or top people in the society that may not even be in government but they hold the strings to how government is run in a country. So what steps do you think the government can take to make sure, or the president, not just government, the president can take to make sure that these people are held accountable? But first, government must realize that PMS is an essential commodity and if PMS is expensive, definitely the poor has to find a way around it to survive. So first, making PMS as affordable as possible. I've argued that, I rightly don't buy the argument that because PMS is, because there is 12 subsidies come, then the subsidy should be outright removed. All across the world, government subsidize in one way or the other. But if Nigerian government says it is no longer going to subsidize PMS, then how do you expect the poor, like, okay, imagine the rural community, not like us, let's look at the internal, look at the economic value of some of these communities, then you ask the poor calendarizer to come and buy, well, of about 600 Naira per liter or more. So making it affordable by going after the cost of subsidies and make sure that that is meet in the board. When you go outside the cost of subsidies, then things would level up. But you don't leave the teams to be enjoying the loot that they've done, then you now pass the pain to the ordinary Nigeria. I use myself as an example. I can't think of anything that Nigeria has done for me since I was born. I can't think of anything. I stand to be corrected. So one of the rare ways of benefiting from government is by petroleum cheaply. But now that benefit has been removed from me. So going after the big guide that one to technology in Saudi Arabia, for example, there is high technology in such a way that when there is oil bunkering or you try to tamper with the oil pipeline or any form of practice at all, definitely it's going to save them at the nearest office. There's a quarter to tackle this thing, the amount of oil that is flown from one station to another has been recorded. You can't even steal anything. That is the essence of technology. So you ask yourself, what is stopping the government from embracing this technology? And what is stopping the oil multinationalists as well from embracing this technology? So if government can't embrace this technology, why not compare the oil multinationalists to make sure that adequate technology is being embraced in such a way that it makes bunkering difficult? Now another thing is standard of operations. If you compare the standard of operation in Nigeria and West African countries, where mining is taking place, compare it to the European countries, the American countries, you will see that the standard of operation is different.  The standard of operation that they will be using will be cheaper, will be less expensive than the standard of operation that they will be using in the Americas. So we have a weak government that have failed to stand up to its responsibility of enforcing adequate standard of operation in such a way that what you do in Mexico, the Americas, is what we also do in Nigeria. Another thing that government can do is ensuring the commissioning of oil facilities. I use the case of Oguni. Oguni land, that's an example. Shell stopped oil exploration in Oguni land in 1993. Since Shell stopped oil exploration in Oguni, the oil facilities there, they are still there. They are not the sustainable oil to light, as they call the professional power, the commission these facilities. So look to the commission these facilities. These facilities get old. Some of them spill oil because the company is no longer there. Some of them are accessible to oil bunkers. How do I know this? During my PhD, my research was on the oil issue in the Niger Delta and I spent months there during my data collection. So I saw it first hand, what self-spalier to decommission its oil facilities in Oguni is causing to the people. So when you fail to decommission your facilities and these facilities are readily accessible to the people you've with them, with their land, with environmental degradation, then what do you expect them to do? They have to survive. They are especially agrarian people. They rely on fishing and farming. Their land has been polluted. The water sources have been polluted. The next thing for them is for them to survive based on the oil that they can see around there. So the failure to decommission facilities is a major issue that government must tackle. Another thing that government can tackle is the easy accessibility to oil pipelines. Oil pipeline is supposed to be beneath the earth surface. But if you go to the Niger Delta in Nigeria, you will see that most of the oil pipelines are only reasonably easily accessible. You see pipelines passing through a community. Oil pipelines with a strong pressure that oil is pumping strongly every day. You will see it passing through the backyard of some people. In other words, government has allowed the oil multinationals to operate with infinity. If they have put the oil pipelines beneath the earth surface or the oil pipelines, definitely it will not be easily accessible for the bonkers to access it. But if you put oil pipelines on the earth surface in the backyard of a man that you have polluted his farm, that he can no longer fish because the rivers and water bodies in his community have been polluted. Definitely such people are going to improvise, which is for them to now find a way of how to survive via the oil that is in their community. And that is why you see that some of these citizens there are engaging oil bunkers. Oil bunkers are in two ways. The oil bunkers are being conducted by the big guys. In the sense that those that steal oil and put it into ships to sell to the Americans, you know, Dogo, Cameroon, you know, all those places, those guys operate on a large scale. Those ones, they are vessel, some of them are even being secured by Nigerian security agencies. Then you have the medium stroke small scale, which are the artisanal refiners, whereby they steal the oil and they do what they call cofire. That's the local policy. Cofire, which means the oil will be cooked on that, you know, and put it. So when it's cooked then it begins to filter. And there is a red market available for it because the local population in the Niger Delta can't afford the foreign refinery, refinery, business suits for about $600 a liter at the moment. So maybe the one that was refined through cofire. Maybe those ones will say for like, government has not removed from first off CDO. When I did my data collection there, but I guess maybe now it will say for like maybe $250 or $300. So that is quite affordable.  So those big guys that bring vessels and ship to the Niger Delta and both the small and medium scale has to be tackled holistically. In other words, top the big guys, then make environmental remediation as quick as possible. Or you legalize a prisoner refinery and create agencies that would monitor their operations and pay taxes to the government. So in other words, the prisoner refinery will be accountable to the government and they will also pay taxes. But you can use only force to stop the oil bumping in the Niger Delta, which we never work, if anything is to go back. But first time experience, it won't go. Okay. Well, this is how we're going to wrap up the show this morning. But you've said a lot about how we can remedy the situation. So thank you so much, Dr. Deji, for coming on the show. Thank you. That was a political scientist, a public affairs analyst, Dr. Degi, talking to us on the show. This is how we draw the curtain on the program this morning. We'd like to thank you for your time this morning and hope that you'll join us again for the same program, same time tomorrow. Until then, my name is Nyamgul Agadji, on behalf of the entire breakfast family, saying thanks for being there.


Welcome back, especially to, to those of you who are still with us, we will now go into a plenary session where again we can recognize people if we have time at the end. And Suzanne Barber who is the Dean of the Graduate School and Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapelville will provide a summary of the day which is an awesome responsibility and she does it so well. So, so first thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this really exciting series of workshops I know I've learned a lot and I hope others have learned a lot too. And I'm really excited that this community is coming together and having these conversations and I think one of the take home messages from all three workshops is really that sense of community the importance of the of the networks, the individual effort certainly, but also networks and and ultimately the institutions that we need to change. So throughout the three workshops, we've heard from past current and aspiring leaders. They've come from very different walks of life from different disciplines from France Cordova who spoke this spoke today she's an astrophysicist and former director of the NSF to the cellist and humanist and although we come from different spaces I think we all agree there there's a need for change if we're to broaden participation in STEM. There's a need to move past the deficit model where we we fault the student default the underrepresented in individual, and there's a need to start looking at some of the systematic changes the systems that have held us back and prevented us from achieving I think we all want to achieve. And so the first two workshops I kind of summarized all this in my mind is as being action that needs to be taken at individual level, and the level of networks and at the level of ultimately institutions and I think I still what I'm hearing today. I think today we unpack this little little bit and maybe put some meat on the bones. And so I'm going to frame my comments and those three, those three categories. And I'll start out at the individual level. Today, I think we've heard some really inspiring stories about the power of individuals to make change. I think that to Shirley Malcolm's comments about her lived experience in Baltimore. I'm not sorry not Baltimore Birmingham, and how it compelled her to leadership. And, and similarly how Dr Cordovo talked about how she had a leadership position and that allowed her to shine a light on the work that was being done by underrepresented scientists who are kind of toiling in the darkness doing wonderful things that other folks weren't seeing to paraphrase Dr Cordova, it's not in your genes or your physical appearance it's not that that determines whether you're a leader.  And so this idea that we as individuals can engage with life, and in a way that ultimately achieves our goals I think is an important take home message from all three of the workshops. You know of course in order to do that we have to be at the right tables we have to be a part of the right conversations. So how do we get to those tables so we can be parts of those conversations. So Dr Sanchez Nieto offered a really interesting insight when she said, gave the story about challenging Francis Collins, and the idea that our little voice, you know, even if it means we have to be incredibly brave to stand up and and make our voice heard can be the start of something really important the start of that opportunity to, as an individual be invited to those tables where the important conversations are being had where the important decisions are being made. As Dr Taylor said at the beginning of the workshop there's a difference between leaders and leadership, and we all have the potential to be part of leadership, if we choose to act when we see injustice. Dr Tripathi also emphasize the importance of individual acts of leadership and the individual actions may seem like they're they're very small, but ultimately they add up and they push us closer to where we want to be. I think Dr Poojri offered some really important advice for leaders that we should all need. It's okay to make mistakes. We should always question our assumptions. We should emulate people who demonstrate curiosity and reciprocity to ideas and model and nurture a growth mindset. And I know those are the kinds of things as a graduate dean that I'm always asking our graduate students to aspire to. Well, many of us are way past graduate school, and I think we too should be thinking about moving forward with that growth So when we move beyond the individual I think we start getting into into networks, and we heard a lot of really interesting information about networks and some of the important work that they're doing today. I mean as far back as the 1970s, people like Dr Tapia were working with Lydia, for example, to start SACNAS to bring like-minded people together to affect change. And if you fast forward to the 21st century, Dr DePas talked about an intervention on this understanding interventions group has just launched today their UI impacts. That's designed to bring networks together to bring aspiring STEM leaders together with people who are already in leadership positions to broaden that network and enhance its impact. Dr Cordable I think offered some really interesting insights into the genesis of the NSF includes community, a nascent network that's been brought together to continue this really important work. And she mentioned Hillary Clinton in her comments and that really it put it in mind for me, a statement that Hillary Clinton made back in the 1990s, the idea that it takes a village. I think all of our speakers all the panelists throughout the three panels with throughout the three workshops would probably agree that it does indeed take a village to do the important work of broadening participation. And our goal I think our charge is to continue building those networks, building those communities as Dr Cordable did when she built the NSF includes community. Without the recommended we need to build and strengthen our relationships with other people who are committed to social justice. And I think it's really exciting to see that our three aspiring leaders who are in the last panel just a few minutes ago, are all building networks and they're using those networks to affect change. I think we all need to aspire to do the kinds of things that those aspiring leaders are doing and, and hopefully those networks are networks and ultimately come together in a way that we have that community that village that's about the change. So what do we want to change what do we need to change when we need to change the system. And then, and I think that starts with the institutions. At the very beginning of our workshop Dr Taylor reminded us that we need to move past the deficit model. We're not in the business of fixing individuals we're rather in the business of asking some really critical questions about the cultures of our stem institutions. Dr Pothi addressed this when she she discussed the push toward assimilation. And when why would we assimilate into a stem culture that's flawed a stem culture that doesn't recognize the value that we as as individuals we as different individuals bring to the table.  So how do we educate power how do we turn that dumb off so the power recognizes the importance the value add that we as underrepresented scientists bring to the table. I think Dr Taylor made a really important observation at the beginning of our discussion today when he said, you got to adjust the message to meet the audience that you're trying to influence. So do you lead with social justice. Well, maybe not. Maybe the lead is competitiveness, and the degree to which this nation which has enjoyed the leadership in the world of stem and research and engineering for four years now, that that's on the brink of going away if we don't engage everybody in this important enterprise. And so I think this issue of how we tailor our message to meet the audience of our institutions becomes a very important part of the question. And Dr Malcolm said, we have to meet systemic problems in a systemic way. And that comes down to engaging institutions and how do we engage them. Well, I think both Dr Malcolm and Dr to pass emphasize the importance of data. And importantly that even more importantly, the importance of data that are institution specific that can really wake people up and make them recognize that the problem isn't in somebody else's backyard it's in their own backyard. And that provides us with a wonderful example of the power of admissions data at the University of Chicago, when a group of graduate students got together and pull the admissions data and put them out in front of folks and said, look, there's something wrong here. That ultimately led to a Brexit, so to speak, moving away from the GRE and so the change the machine of change starts to starts to work. And he also raised the really interesting concept that our HBC use actually MSI's in general have really unique cultures that embrace not just the four frames of academic leadership that Bowman and Gallus recommended, but also what he called the soul of leadership. He encouraged us to embrace MSI's as role models, institutions that are primarily white institution should be looking for looking to, for advice in terms of the context of the strategies the approaches to broadening participation. And I think although we may disagree on the impact that MSI's have had on the demographics of STEM faculty. I think we all agree there's a lot that we can learn from those institutions and a need to to sit at the feet of the master so to speak. I've heard about the importance of having great leaders at our institutions. And I think a really important insight that Dr. Topia made was this idea that change at our institutions, it really comes from from up top. It comes from on high.  They're the people who have the bully pulpit, I can cause a whole institution to change yes you have to buy and lower down but ultimately you have to engage in leadership as well. So how do we ensure that people who think the way we do, people who look the way we do people who have our lived experiences are in those leadership positions, so that they can affect that kind of power. So, so in summary, I think we need, I think what we've learned from these workshops all three of them is that we need the collective impact of individuals and networks to affect change in our STEM institutions. Dr. Taylor has gave us a lot of really important things to think about. And one of the nuggets he left us was with was this idea of first order change versus second order change. You know the first order change he said is basically rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. That's not what we need to do. Instead, we need to affect structural change by leveraging the power of the individual the power of our networks to ultimately address these these entrenched cultural issues that are within our STEM institutions. In the words of Dr Sanchez Neville, we have a really unique opportunity in the wake of a pandemic, we have an opportunity to be disruptive to have to affect that second order change in a very positive way. And the court of I asked us to take a risk and get it done.  Let's build communities and networks, and then let's change our, our institutions. As Dr Tripathi said, inclusive diversity is an achievable goal. And I think in the wake of these three wonderful workshops, we are on the brink of being able to make it happen. And that's just a brief summary of what I saw today. And I'd love to throw the floor open to questions and comments. And I'm not sure how we're going to moderate that and are we just going to have people raise their hand perhaps. I just wanted to say it was an excellent, excellent summary. You captured all the points that I heard is something that I missed so thank you. I thought it was great. Thank you Nora. I love your summary Susan but the question I have is if we have to get leaders up to the top of institutions so that they can have the right mindset to create the change. If people don't conform. How are they going to get those positions how are they going to make it up in these institutions that are so biased and that are all set up wrong. So is, is a strategy to conform, you know the edges and get there and then make the change, which is what the previous generations have done or is there another way I never really understood your summary on that point. Yeah, I didn't address it so it's a great question right and, and I'm sure everybody has it has an opinion on it I can share my own story and then interpret my story in the context of what I think we we heard today. So, so for my own poor story I basically did the good conform piece. You know I assimilated it in every way shape and form. And I knew that I was doing that because I knew that I wanted to aspire to a leadership position and ultimately have a bully pulpit, but, but I think had I not done that during the time that I was coming through. I don't think I'd be where I am today. Young people we heard from today, however, they're not conforming.  We've moved from pre pandemic to post pandemic. I think the opportunity to be disruptive to be that that disruptive agent of change, the positive deviant so to speak. I think there's a very small window of time when it's going to be a little bit easier to do that. And I think you know these young people are doing it. I think we need to do it. No, I disagree. I disagree, because the young people from what I heard from the three young people is either they know of people who almost got sick, and some quit. Some died, something happened, and then to three people survived but they are not moving. They may not move up the academic ladder. Well, we won't know that. We won't know that for some time that that's a point taken. I don't know how the change will happen. Well, I think that in part some of the lessons come from those of us who came before. I mean, you heard from all a large number of the speakers today and before that that we didn't start out wanting to be leaders, I didn't want to start college with the idea that I would be a vice president for research, or even then I would be ahead of a lab. And so that's part of what goes on with disruptors is you do your thing. And some people are better at taking the easiest path, which is to be like everybody else as much as you can be given what you look like. I mean, the sometimes it's cultural and comes more naturally that some of us are more willing to swim through the current, and other people are really don't really want to do that they want to be more aggressive earlier. And I think that that's just partly human nature and partly the the the our particular national history. But I do think that it is a magic time, because there, there's so much ferment right now and my sense of the time is that there are people up in the majority who have seen what is happening and recognize that something must be done. You know, and often what they do is incomplete because they don't really fully appreciate the experiences that they're trying to recognize and bring forward, but they are able to make change Francis Collins is a good example of that. He started some good things. So, from many perspectives he had to be dragged into it kicking and screaming and it hasn't gone far enough. I mean the fastest way to introduce institutional change is to make it part of the money. It is the fastest way to get an inclusion to do whatever it is that you would like them to do. Howard Hughes is an example of an institution which recognize that after it wasn't certainly wasn't easy took many years and a lot of people in changes in leadership, but it is now at the end of encouraging and bringing up people like we heard today from Cody and Fatima. Those two are that Gillum fellowship allows them. Give something that they might not otherwise have, and whatever they end up doing they will be leaders. I think it's true of a viral who may or may not still be here. She decided not to go into an academic a standard academic career, but she's working with students. That's important. I will still nourish more students who will some of whom will go on and be leaders, because you know however you look at it. If you want to go to the top it's a pyramid, many more start at the bottom and end up at the top. And that is a function of the fact that leadership positions are rare. So, I think you sort of figure out what you can do is Francis, and then do it it's an opportunity for something and you do it and I think the young people today are more willing to do that. They choose their own path they won't be an academia necessarily, but they will make a difference. And I think wholeheartedly, thank you for, for, for your comments and I also, you know, I, one thing we haven't talked about is the role that our, our federal funding agencies play in all this too. You know, one, one thing we do on see us we're always pushing NSF and saying, look, you've got the purse strings, you know that is the biggest hammer carrot whatever you want to call it, that you can possibly have so when we, when we come to you with these issues when we talk about these cultural challenges are STEM institutions have what better way to inspire institutions inspire incentivize institutions to make a change them to talk about the money. Right. What said you have your hand. Oh, all right now you have your hand up. Say you have your hand up first you put it up a little earlier do you wear way before me. You know, just, just to add to Lydia's comments. One of the things that really excites me with what I see with the, the current generation of folks who are coming up through academia, including Korean. Is that they, when they, their generation of trained up in as undergraduates in this country. What's exciting is that there are disciplines that they were exposed to that many of us in stem, they didn't even exist at the time when I went to college like Cal State LA, you know fields like different fields of ethnic studies, gender studies. They didn't necessarily exist. Right. And this was true for the generations before me. So then there were the folks who brought their lived experience, you know they had very specific areas of scholarship but they were not emergent disciplines that we were really broadly training students in. You know the landscape for higher education is totally different now so many students who are studying STEM, you know most institutions country are getting that training and so they're equipped with fluencies and frameworks that we didn't have access to. And so what they're able to envision, you know, is truly convergent. And I think their, their leadership, their imaginings are actually really something to look to. And, and I also, you know, and I think of this also as like as a scientist who draws on tools from different disciplines, you know machine learning and what this can help us with respect to climate modeling. And I see the same thing with respect to what they're able to do when thinking about institutional change. I also am excited by the examples of leadership that we see that are bold that are brave. You know I see what's happening at Arizona State University at Brown University, right, and there are examples of at the very highest levels of leadership. There's people who are actually opening up space, right so Vernon Morris being hired at ASU, you know, and learning about how they're reshaping policy and in that case it's being you know the new school that he's director of it's kind of a incubator of sorts right, but what I'm seeing there is a real example of transformative leadership, and that's being done by opening up space for another leader, right. So Vernon, and then what I see at Brown University with the way they're approaching a lot of their strategies. I think that that's actually a really kind of exciting model, you know in that case. So there are some examples that I think we can, we can look to but the question is, you know, will we see enough, even if there are folks who've come through who have simulated which we all have done to varying degrees you know compared to the current of leaders, you know that still doesn't mean that we can't acknowledge that and then open up space right for leaders who are even more bold to also lead in our institutions. I just was going to make an observation that I always feel somewhat disillusioned when I hear younger or junior colleagues say well academia is not for me I'm living academia, and especially those who could become leaders or who could perhaps transform the institutions, and I agree with Suzanne that one potential way to change these traditional institutions is through the perks. Right now, it's really challenging to work with some of the institutions the dominated by mostly monoculture groups. Those are really challenges that we all need to work on and I would say that one example that we have to document that some progress has been made in terms of at least diversifying the workforce is with the private sector. The private sector is way way more ahead than the academic institutions. And the reason is that the private sector they know that if they don't diversify their leadership the workforce, the bottom line will suffer. Somehow we need to really place that message with the institutions I don't know how to do it whether it is necessary to do to do it through the political system or perhaps through the system that the junior colleagues today share with us. I think we need to kind of reflect on those approaches that we need to take in the future.  I have to say that of the attendees. When you come you do come for a whole panel or two. And that's, that's very gratifying. I also want to say that we will be releasing a survey. Your opinion is really useful someone asked earlier if there was any way that you could be of assistance and the answer is, yes, as we noted we will be doing a report on this it will both a journal type publication, and a longer report that we hope to get published. And certainly the paper we will distribute widely this recording will stay up, and it will be broadly available will be available the recordings of each individual talk will be available on this website for the indefinite future. I also consider putting up both the whole thing and the pieces there pieces of it on to YouTube directly. So please tell your friends and colleagues about it. And we'll get that will that will be helpful. So when you have a suggestion, we'll put a comments area on the website so that people can come and tell us their thoughts about what their responses to the talks, their suggestions for. How we might go about things. That would be terrific. So please respond to the survey. It really does inform the way which we go forward. And I hope you keep this in your minds and hearts, as we all go forward because I think we all have common goals. So thank you once again, and have a great weekend.


Ha ha ha, I got caught out there, didn't I? I got caught out. Hello, welcome to FMR on this absolutely beautiful day. I'm climbing up the first hill of my run today. You know the score, we're on episode six of the Lakeland 100 training series. And as always, we're gonna start by going through the week's training from last week. And then we're gonna talk about GPS watches and why GPS is not the correct term anymore. And just before we start, if you do find the video interesting, please do give it a thumbs up. And if you're new here, please consider hitting that subscribe button. Also, we do have memberships now, so you can join FMR as a member for as little as one pound a month. When you join as a member, you will get early access to some videos. So some of the videos I release, I'll release them early for members only. And then other videos will be exclusively for members. So you won't see, if you're just a subscriber, there are some videos you won't ever see on this channel because they are member only videos. As you all know, or you should do by now, if you watch the channel, I am a treadmill runner for a lot of the time I run on Zwift. If you wanna go and see my live Zwift running, you need to go and subscribe to the Zwift run channel or go and check out the Zwift run channel. Suffice to say, Monday, 10K on the treadmill. So Tuesday, another Zwift run in the morning. I do 4.2 kilometers with my treadmill set at 12%. So we did that on Tuesday morning and then Tuesday evening I went out with my running club, my local running club, Worthing Harriers. The problem with going out with your running club, as much as I love them, is that every run turns into like a tempo effort and then a race at the end, which is not what you want when you're trying. Well, sometimes it might be what you want, but most of my runs are easy paced, low heart rate. And I don't often wanna get into a tempo-based effort. But it is nice to go out with the club and it's a social thing, isn't it? So that was a 12K run. So it was a total of around 16 kilometers for Tuesday. Wednesday was a 5K run at lunchtime on Zwift and then in the evening, I represented my club in the Trumbull View five-miler. That was my hard effort run for the week. Zone five, much of the way through the woods near Goodwood Racecourse. Thursday was a double Zwift day, so a four kilometer climb on Hills in the morning and then in the evening, a nice easy 6K, low heart rate. 22K on Friday and then on Saturday, we were in the beautiful but very flat County of Suffolk where Victoria was going to run the Suffolk Backyard Ultra. If you don't know what a backyard ultra is, then you need to watch my award-winning film called 81 Yards. It's available to purchase on Vimeo and it's about the world record that was broken for the backyard ultra at Suffolk last year. Suffice to say, Victoria did amazingly well in her very first backyard ultra. She covered 66 miles and I ran the loop a couple of times of the course. So on Saturday I did two loops which constitutes about eight miles but then I had a small problem on the Sunday. See, on the Saturday night, I must have lent on something on my left side.  So much so that I could hardly walk when I woke up on Sunday morning. I took a load of painkillers. I managed to do one loop but in order to get my 100K for the week, I needed to do two loops and I just couldn't manage it. I could not get out to do another loop. My leg was so sore, I just had to give up. So mileage for this week, total mileage for this week, 94 kilometers. So even worse than last week. That's about 29, 30 kilometers on the treadmill and it would have been about 70K outdoors but ended up being 64, 65 kilometers outdoors. In terms of heart rate zones, I haven't done the full maths yet. I'll do it later and I'll put it on the screen now for you. I'm guessing five miles of zone four and five and the rest in zones one and two or a little bit in zone three. So approximately 10% in zones four and five and 80% in zones one and two and a little bit extra in zone three. Something like that is my guess. This week, Garmin announced the new 255 and the 955 four runner watches. These replaced of course the very popular 245 and the 945 watches. So if you are looking to buy a running watch, your main three companies are the big daddy Garmin, the relative new kid on the block, KOROS, which is making big strides and you've got SunTour, which has always been a kind of rival to Garmin. All you want is a running watch, a basic running watch, basic functions. Honestly, if you've got an Apple watch, just use that, it's fine. Or even your phone will do a passable job these days. But you can look at something like the four runner 55 or the KOROS pace two, which are great functional watches. Honestly, they'll do anything. They'll do almost anything that you need for a basic running watch. If you're going to do triathlons, if you're looking at long distance races, ultras, off road trail running, then you might want to look at something a little bit more advanced. Something that has maps and navigation built in, something which uses satellites in a slightly different way, which I'm going to explain in a second. So you would look at something like the 255 or then up to the 945 as it is now. And then right at the top end, you've got your adventure watches, your multi-sport, long distance watches, things like the Phoenix range. We're now up to the Phoenix seven watches and the Epyx Gen two watch, which is the one I use. You might want to look at those which have incredibly long battery life as well. That's the other main thing with watches. You want good battery life if you're going to be running anything more than four or five hours at a time. So as well as battery life, one of the main things people want from their running watch is accuracy, speed and distance accuracy. They want to know how far they've run and how fast they've done it. And you get that from satellites. Now, we've always called them GPS watches and GPS is global positioning system and it's an American system. It's actually a brand, but there are other satellite arrays in the sky and notably the European one, Galileo and there's the Russian one, Glonass. So we've been combining the data from all of those satellite systems into one much better, much more accurate track for our run. But it gets more exciting and even more accurate as of these latest running watches coming up. The 255, the 955, the Epyx here, the Phoenix range, the Phoenix seven range all have multi-band satellite technology. So this means they are accessing all the different arrays in the sky from the different companies, but they're also accessing them on two different frequencies. L1 and L5 are the different frequencies that they're using which without getting into too much technical detail partly because I don't understand the technical detail we are just getting much, much more accurate GPS. It's still not going to be perfect. If you run around a city or in a very heavily wooded area you may still find the track flies off a little bit but it is so much better than it used to be even just a couple of years ago. So although the term GPS watch will probably be around for ages yet, it's so ubiquitous, isn't it? Really, we should be calling them GNSS watches. And that is it from me. Do let me know down in the comments how is your training going? What are you currently training for? And also what GPS? I got caught out there, didn't I? I got caught out. What GNS, what, no. What GNSS watch do you use? What global navigation satellite system? This is why it's called GPS, isn't it? What GPS watch do you use? What watch have you got? Are you thinking of upgrading? Does accuracy with speed and distance make a difference to you or just do you get out and run and not worry about it too much? Also, if you're new here, do consider subscribing.  We'll add 10 kilometers every week to the distance until we get up to 100 miles two weeks before Lakeland 100. So take care, everyone. See you next time. Bye-bye.

So guys, thanks to People Can Fly, I actually had hands on time with the new content coming for free to all of us all within Outriders, the expeditions etc etc. And today guys I'll give you my honest thoughts and opinion on them and how I feel this would go for the game. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you're seeing and want to see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so even before release I played and streamed the demo daily. Upon release of the game nothing really changed. Those daily streams were some of the best days I've had on YouTube and that's obviously because of the support you guys gave me but we have to obviously mention Outriders too as it was the game we was all playing at the time and let's not lie to ourselves. For the most part within the early days we really enjoyed it. The game obviously went downhill with the problems it had etc etc I don't need to mention them for the hundredth time. PCF worked to fix the major problems the game had and they succeeded in that aspect but what it did was just delay anything new being added into the game, it delayed any mention of anything new to come. What this did was blow this game in terms of where it was to where it is now. For most people they gave up hope with the game but it's clear now PCF never did and with all those fixes they were doing they were prepping the game for what's to come next. A thing I myself was starting to believe was never going to happen. It was a mess, a big mess and from level no, Cyberpunk level no, No Man's Sky level kinda. I say this because they are doing all they can to resurrect this title and well this content coming I feel is a great great way to start for PCF in doing that. Now you guys who have watched me know I don't mix my words I say how it is and have been pre-harsh on both PCF and Outriders in the past to a point like I said I'd given up hope on this game and basically just moved on. Now when I was invited to take part in this hands on obviously I ought to Outriders would give the game another chance and to be honest I'm glad I did. The game I played although it was a development build felt sharp, felt clean, felt smooth, kind of new and I know that sounds crazy right now and I don't know if it's because I haven't played in ages but it felt really good. Now with this hands on I had a preset trick to build, no it wasn't my own character or loadout so I obviously couldn't check and test a lot of things I would have given the chance to use my own character. But what I noticed straight away was being on level with the Expeditions things felt a challenge something I'd forgotten Outriders had due to many things just being too powerful. Now I know people will hate the fact that their favourite mods were OP and have been nerfed but the fact that you don't rely on such to push through things actually made it feel much more rewarding at the end. Now the Outriders broadcast will know that it showcases more than I had access to and I can obviously only judge on what I played and saw myself. So before we talk about the Expeditions quickly on to a couple of other things. Can I just say that the changes to TA Go as a Legendary is a great great one, is a Legendary loot that is what he offers being a vendor. This will sit well with the community in my opinion. If you don't know you can now re-roll his Legendary stuck. Now we'll have a video to come looking at this a little deeper so stay tuned for that. Also guys the transmog system is incredible, way better than I thought it was ever going to be. Again though I have a video coming on this too. So the Expeditions, well what can I say, the four were amazing, although one was too hard for anyone to complete, it was still pretty good. Now if you were a fan of the previous ones these will tick all the boxes the previous expeditions had and more. Now to a full new like I said, we have the Marshals Complex, the Morton Depth, the City of Nomads and the Whalespring. Now we'll have all four runs on my channel by the way if you do want to check out each and every one, that's entirely up to you. So these Expeditions definitely felt new and while I will 100% say, I do have a favourite, that one being the Morton Depths, I say this because the final boss of this expedition is another friend, an actual boss I felt was a little wasted on the story and well never to be seen again, well that changes with the Morton Depths. But yeah guys, these Expeditions all feel great, they all feel brand new and there is definitely a challenge here. I don't think people will storm through them like they are used to either and while this is great and I feel a great balance has been brought with the other new addition to Expeditions and Outriders. While I say an addition, well actually, Expeditions are now one damn because the timer which meant DPS was the most important part of Builds has now been removed and I think this is one of the best things with this new content that PCF have done. No timers now in Expeditions is an amazing and amazing thing, it changes almost everything. The fact of a build now besides those DPS builds will be viable, I feel the mix of playstyles will drastically change for the better. People experiment with other things and that's a massive thing I feel Outriders end game was indeed missing. I also feel many solo players who could never quite beat their tier 15 expedition timer for gold will also enjoy this feature a lot more. So yeah, I feel this was definitely the right move by PCF, now I've tried it out, I wasn't sure at first but it's definitely the right move. So final thoughts, what PCF are giving for free is one I feel was something very much needed but it's also something I feel needs to be from this point forward and much more consistent thing, not the free part, just the content part. Now I don't mean new content every week or month, what I feel the point in them doing this, dropping all these three good shiz, they need to ride those highs before letting things fall out of their grasps again. Cause I do feel this is a little short of perfect, I've added a little short because as I make this video I don't have info on everything this free content offers, I don't think, nor info on the near future either. The only thing when I was playing this new content I felt was missing, as a day one gamer, one who is basically everything the game offers, I feel the one thing that was missing was indeed New Loot. But like I said, the Outriders broadcast hasn't happened yet as I make this video, so I don't know what to come there, I don't know if New Loot is being added or not so we will see. But other than that guys, it's a great addition to this game, it's new stuff for you to experience in Outriders, and I guarantee you when you go back after this content update, if you do go back, you will have a pleasant surprise. But there we have it guys, my thoughts on a new content coming to Outriders, mainly the four expeditions, the Transmug and T.A. Goals, New Legendary Loot System. Again, I will have videos of all the expeditions, the Transmug and T.A. Goals Loot on my channel, so do check that out. But on that note guys, the end of the video has arrived. If you're an Outriders Day 1 player, let me know your thoughts on this three content update for the game. Like it, don't like it, let me know why down below. But on that note, the end of the video has arrived. If you enjoyed it, leaving a like really helps out. If you're new around here and want to see more Outriders, be sure to subscribe. And if you never want to miss a video I upload, you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button. But guys, thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one.


Now is a great time for small businesses to start to look in depth of what truly matters to their consumers and make a connection on a much more personal level. Personalization is very important for small business owners. When you're selling your goods or services, you're also selling experience with an emotion with your customer. One of my favorite memories is I purchased a small spa kit since we're all at home and we're needed to have some self-care right now. I was already excited to open the box and when I did this wonderful smell came out of the box and I instantly had that sense of an emotional connection with the seller. I knew that she had taken just a couple extra minutes to spray one small spray of perfume to add that little personalized touch and I loved it so much that I shared it on social media and I gifted that same gift to a few family members. Used to be almost taboo when you think about a business taking a stand on a socially conscious issue for fear of losing customers. Now customers are really looking towards those businesses who do take a stand and take a side of this is what matters to me. For example, if you make a purchase from a store and you've decided as a business that you also donate to your favorite charity with every purchase that really stands out to consumers because they also feel like they're doing some good in this world and they want to be able to kind of have a double duty for what they're purchasing. So by sharing your beliefs as a business you will align with those customers which will gain you much more loyal customer base. Small business owners got so many different duties that they're trying to pull together to make their business run and you might feel drained at the end of the day and it's time to package up those those things that you've sold during the day and even though it might take you just a few extra steps to add something personalized into what you're selling it goes so far with a consumer of creating that good feeling of what they've purchased that they're more likely to come back tenfold. So while it does take just a little bit more time from you it's well worth it in the eyes of a consumer. Feel free to leave a comment below we'd love to hear what you think.


Man uses condoms for bungee jump. Yup, that's the story that hit the headlines across the world in 2008 because a man called Karl Dionysio decided that he was gonna do a bungee jump using a rope made out of condoms. He told journalist that it was a 30 meter drop so he had to very carefully, very mathematically calculate just how many condoms he would need for that in case you were wondering, 18,500 condoms were used. But it took him four months to put the rope together because he said that the knots just kept opening because the latex is so slippery. But eventually he managed to get the condoms all tied together and in April 2008 he did the jump successfully. The condoms did not come apart and they did not even tear. So the next time someone says, oh I don't wanna use condoms because there's no excitement. Just remember, with a condom, you can literally do anything.


Hello, welcome to the Dave Trumbo show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Roy showing here with Stevenson women's volleyball head coach Dave Trumbo coach a busy week last week. We'll try to recap everything Starting with last Wednesday. I guess play the Lebanon Valley beat them to clinch the top seed in the Matt Commonwealth for the sixth straight Year take us to that match a little bit Well, we're we're really trying hard to play one match at a time And that one was huge if we did not beat Lebanon Valley there. You know the Hopkins matches kind of meaningless To us, but we were able to to clinch that top spot and be able to be home for the playoffs as long as we win So that's really important to us. You know, we are able to get have a nice fan base We saw that against Hopkins and just they were loud and they really weren't obnoxious as much as they were just loud Yeah, absolutely and just having fun. You know, and so it's it was it was nice to beat lead Val We may face them again. Yeah, depending upon they play Messiah I think tonight just decide who's going to be third or fourth Yeah, and then the following night, you know back-to-back you get John's Hopkins. They come in here You start off really strong and then eventually a 3-1 victory against, you know, very good John's Hopkins Club Yeah, that was that was match was more for pride at that point because They're one in their conference. We're one in our conference. They've got a great record We've got a great record. So last year it was kind of proceeding in the NCAA. I'm not sure It's a little early for that right but Hopkins had been on an 18 match winning streak They hadn't lost since the very first week and that was the number one and the number 14 in the country. So It's a good situation to get them on our court and like I mentioned the crowd was just incredible and We played really well. Yeah, and you know then the Think we were down like 19-14 in the second came all the way back and won it and then gosh We were down 24 19 in the third and we're serving for serve for match point and didn't get it But then came back in the fourth set. We're able to pull it out And that kind of says something about our team about the mental toughness. Okay We didn't get that that that point we needed to go to send them home But you know, we regrouped and we're able to beat them in the fourth set But the Hopkins a great team I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we saw them again the NCAA tournament Yeah, it feels like that's been one of the big differences this year Your team has faced a lot of adversity, you know, obviously people look real quick at 27-1 record at how much but really you've been down One-nothing, you know Arcadia tough match, you know, Hopkins like you said studying for match serve for match point You know, some teams might as hung their heads said well, you know, we couldn't close it out And now we're gonna you know, they would collapse but not this team Well, we've actually played 11 regionally ranked teams and we're 10 and one against them The one being Carnegie Mellon the one loss. So I felt like the we I think we have a little bit more confidence We have more veteran this and the leader and it's the senior leadership is Really strong and probably the biggest factor is our team chemistry. I think it's a lot better this year as far as all 18 of us pulling together And we're all in this together kind of thing in the support and encouragement which goes a long way to Confidence and making the big play at the big time Yeah, and then Saturday after the big Hopkins when you have one day of practice and then you're right back on the road You know Stockton's team that you've had some some epic battles for the last couple years Yeah, the first set and you're able to win that and then be rowing That was a tough one and we kind of knew it could we summon up some summon up enough energy and passion that we did like against Hopkins because Stockton we just it's always a great match. We knocked him out of the NCAA tournament a couple years ago We played them last year and it was a really intense match and Just everybody really kind of cheering really loud and just very aggressive and this one was the same way and they took That first set I'm going oh boy, but we just didn't play that well And they were able to regroup him and well, I wouldn't say one handily But we won by five or six points So but most of those sets were really close to the end and again going back to that mental toughness some teams You know, you you see it all the time where team you has a big win like against Hopkins And they made it less sound a little bit in the next match and you know that didn't happen Well, I tell you the truth. I was really uptight. I Wanted to win that Hopkins game I mean that's why that's Stockton game so much because that would have kind of negated that Hopkins when I say people say Oh, that was kind of a fluke or something, right? so that I Probably wanted to win it a little bit too bad. My coach is kind of my assistant coach. I said you need to calm down You're just you're just you're reacting Negatively to to when we make a mistake just calm yourself down do what you always do You know, so I have a lot of trust in my assistants. And so my wife says I do that too this time She says man, you are so uptight and I'm not seeing it. So I'm just trying to relax I'm tame trying to take my own advice take one game at a time Yeah, and tonight it happens to be a senior night without Bernie Yeah, and I've talked about that obviously closing out the regular conference season senior night against El Murnia Just talk a little bit about what these four seniors have meant to this program and success they've had boy Well, we'll start with Megan Ren Megan Ren is that enter Janice or bunny that comes on and she always seems to be on the court for the big points At the end of the game. She you know is a designated server and she just she provides a lot more than that and then because a lot of times we'll let her stay and Deanna does not come back in because may gets hot starts making a couple great plays picks the whole team up and That's been her role and she is just excellent at it. And she's one of our top servers Then you know Lauren Weaver Started as a freshman started from day one at a position. She'd never played before she came in here as a middle outside and then we needed a right side and she's a tremendous athlete and So she's one of the reasons she and Mariah Savage There are two of the reasons we switched to a six to because we felt like our right sides are really strong and so Lawrence had a great career here and She just kind of keeps everybody loose and has great perspective on On things Deanna Bradbury, you know, she had the Sammy Perillos shoes to fill She had to come in here as a freshman and she was replacing a three-time honorable mention all-american and We went to the second round when we had Lauren Deanna and Annika all starting as freshman We went to second round the NCAA So that was a good that was a good feeling and Deanna just makes just phenomenal plays and just all over the court and Just is very even keel. Yeah, you know, she doesn't get excited about too much She doesn't get down if she if she shanks the ball. She's just you know just Very confident and then Annika Swartz Has been phenomenal, you know, you know, there's been lots of talk about Annika In all the awards that she's winning but she is kind of the glue that holds everything together I'll never forget when she was a freshman and she put the ball down to send us to the NCAA And you know 15-13 in the fifth against Messiah and everybody rushed out on the court and she was like, oh And now she's the one Leading the cheers and just embracing the moment and picking everybody up and just very nurturing and encouraging to her teammates and They have her confidence is contagious. Yeah, and she's able to Really has put together a fantastic season when everybody knows she's gonna get the ball But but she's not it doesn't have to be her right, you know, we've got a lot of other great hitters So and she's more than happy For it to be the way it is. Yeah, so the four seniors three of them started from day one, you know And so this is gonna be a tough tough class to replace. Yeah Well, certainly obviously will be you know, it always goes Jim tonight to honor them, you know Obviously some more home games to go but you know, we're on them tonight Best elect this week as you close out the regular season for Dave trembo. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Dave trembo show


Join me as we go behind the scenes in the freedom office Showing how we train our staff to learn about KYC know your channel that reviews all of your channels Let's go for YouTube's sake. This is a video that we're creating to show you how we train our staff and the process we use for making sure all over reviews are consistent in our own policy Come up to the microphone and tell us what your process is for reviewing a channel Maybe that PewDiePie says that Let's have a look at this one this one He shows PewDiePie footage for about 30 seconds of PewDiePie saying the n-word And then he talks for the other 10 minutes about that and then there's another one If you press the number between the numbers one to nine that jumps to the 10% point So five goes to 50% of the video Four goes to 40% of the video three goes to 30% You'll learn something new again. I'm a good teacher today Indian channel tech India tips. Yeah, he's got things like free products from Paytim free shipping with proof And there's a few other places where he's like five best ways to earn money online free. So welcome everybody Thank you for joining us in today's Educational session about channel review quality We're gonna go over several channels that I've personally reviewed that have been reviewed by others and sharing my opinion and Where it differs from the opinion that the reviewer had the whole purpose of this is to make sure everyone Gives consistent reviews Regardless of who it is. So starting with the games 133,000 subscribers. What is the process you go through in order to create an opinion? For a channel like this. I'll just pick on someone then Ronaldo if you could Come up to the microphone and tell us what your process is For reviewing a channel. What do you look at first? What do you look at second and then looking at this channel? What would your conclusion be? Oh, go ahead? I Go to the dashboard and check the earnings. Okay, historical earnings. Yeah, you're to date lifetime Okay, I take a look at how long the channel has been with us. Yeah before I go to the content I checked the trajectory of the earnings for the last 12 months If there's a huge spike within the last few months I check that's the time that I check the actual content Then I go to the usual housing these spikes in revenue Exactly then after that I go to the usual or traditional review that we do I take a look at how the video is tagged How it's it's described and if the I have encountered a few videos based on the thumbnails How do you look at the thumbnails? I Normally put that into recommendations if I see Opportunities in the thumbnails like it's if it's too bland it doesn't sync with the actual Character or the branding of the channel things like that Oh, no, definitely that's for approval of the creator That that would just be a recommendation, but it would not factor in. Yeah, yeah training. Yes. Okay, so looking at these Description what do you what would you say? I'm not familiar with the game But I would check normally if the download link would be directed to the official game link. Let's try that How to download that's another video, but let's take a look at the video There's another video on the same channel how to download Jurassic Park world alive Scroll down So let's see where it's telling us also saying search for Jurassic World alive on Google Play was pretty simple Yeah, I don't I think that's okay because it's still being directed to Google Play Yeah, so that's gonna be okay Then I look if there are any fishy stuff like repeating that repeating phrases They're coming in the description. Yeah, I would also check the Content section comment section. Sorry comments in the videos. Okay. Yeah, because they're there are cases where The comments are like e e ggg. They're like spamming and right you want to look for anything that's bought it Spamming or otherwise not a real human. Yep. Now do a search search for hack. Oh Okay, let's see How to hack angry birds scroll down Okay, let's look at the video. Why not I was gonna say just to see if there are other hacking videos Or is this like just one It's not clear to me if he's using a third-party tool to hack it or if he's It uses the same principle as bypassing the permits for APK files for Android, right? So it's a little technical, but if you do that, you don't have to pay for coins You don't have to pay for the licenses if you scroll down. We see yes one hack The others don't look like they have anything to do with hacking just regular gameplay videos. So what would your? Opinion be knowing there's one I know I wouldn't I wouldn't like that channel. Why? Yeah Why would you? Cut the business relationship when that can be you know amended It is definitely an action point But you have to take a look at what the channel brings to the network Take take a look at the big picture than just putting your putting the scope on just one video That can easily be fixed. So when I looked at this particular review the reason for unlinking was hacking But of course, it's only one video out of probably hundreds if not thousands of videos that look to be okay So it's very important that we look at the total channel just like Ronaldo said and if it's like Every other video is a hacking video. All right unlink if it's one two even like Five hacking videos, but there's five hundred good videos. Let's contact the channel owner explain to him that this is not acceptable delete those videos and Then if he's not responsive or if he's not Doing that we may unlink him because obviously we don't want to work with someone who's Who doesn't listen to our advice when we know we're right But just based on This I you know my opinion was keep for these for the for those reasons does that make sense? So if you go to the next channel, so if you scroll up, this is another channel It's that it's an Indian channel tech India tips Now tech India tips was also recommended to unlink making potentially fraudulent claims about earning money So yeah, the channel has one strike takedown in one takedown. They do have some URL shortners They don't use any external links. So there's some questionable practices which we would need to ask the channel owner about It's okay to have an opinion on how to make money as long as he's not showing how to abuse or hack or Like get credit cards for free things like that, which is illegal if it's an opinion saying like hey This is my best way to earn money online free even if we disagree with it Maybe no, what characteristics would you look for to decide whether to unlink a channel for making claims about making money? Basing my opinion on tech India tips if I Saw only one or two videos claiming for like earning money Like illegally stuff like that if it's only one or two then I think it could be fixed But if the rest of this channel are more on vlogs Setting like that, then I think he has a real intention with this channel to grow even further so I think if that's the case I would talk to the partner and Suggest that he sort of revised his titles or his content around the illegally making Extra money he sort of uses some clickbait titles stuff like that or clickbait thumbnails What's important is to really look at the content of the videos and see if the videos really speaks of Those clickbait titles so it relies on the content itself Yeah, and the part of the challenge is he doesn't speak in English He does speak in Hindi or some Indian language, but we do have people Know Hindi and the other Indian languages. So if it is a question of well, we just need to know what he's saying Yes, then we can always ask those people that we have in India to help us understand the content of the video, but you're right He should be flagged for Like outreach to help us better understand the kind of content. He's creating. What is his goals? Why is he doing these kinds of videos? Is it working? Maybe we can suggest other videos that he could do that would be help his channel grow even better So this is what we're trying to get to is this full-service coaching model where we become the I don't know what the equivalent like a football coach saying to every channel if we feel like they need our help We give them that advice and then follow up to see if they've taken the advice But I think this is a good example of a concert video that is fine because It's really a 24-minute video of him getting ready for the concert going to the concert Even if he shows some of the concert footage I think it's fine because that's a very small part of the video the blackfail brights was the biggest red flag I can remember because that's that's like one of the first huge channels. So I've had 200 This is the care that we spend in reviewing all of your channels to make sure We only unlink the people that deserve to be unlinked never kill a Mozart That's what we strive to do We never want any of you who are potential stars in YouTube to be Demotivated because you get unlinked for the wrong reasons, but it's a process and we make mistakes We're human So if you feel you've been unlinked by mistake email freedom or support at freedom.tm And we will look at your case again and make sure we give you a meaningful reply based on our decision to Re-invite you or keep you unlinked and we'll always give you suggestions on how to improve click that I to see all of these KYC series that I've made that teaches you the things we've seen that I feel will help you grow and keep your channel safe So that we can all grow together as a family That is the spirit of freedom.

Okay, so let's go ahead and continue our discussion of structural isomers, doing these structural isomers, C4H10, okay? So the most obvious one, of course, would be the C's all in a line, right? In fact, if we do it this way, it's called U-ting. If we got two hydrogen's together, that's hydrogen gas bubbles away, okay? So that is a different model. The only requirement of our molecule is that it's got four carbons and ten hydrogen's. We can build this in several different ones, okay? So let's try to build it in a different one, before we go to sleep. Okay, so we could do three carbons in a row, if we wanted to, right? And put one carbon on top, just like that, okay? So that's got a different quote-unquote backbone than the other ones, okay? Online structures of both of these molecules while we're at it, okay? So remember, like Charlie Brown, well, here, let's turn it over. Up, down, so one, two, three, four, right? One, two, three, four, like that. Everybody okay with that one? So, start at the top, one, two, three, like that, and then the fourth one's down like that, okay? Why do we put it like that? Because we want it to be at the point, okay? It kind of looks weird if we do it like this, because that's not an ideal bonding, okay? So if it helps you, and erase that, we can draw it differently. We can draw it with this guy on top. So you kind of want to represent these with more idealized bonding. So in fact, those are the only structural isomers of C4H10, I guess. They have some other ones, but those aren't C4H10. Those are C4H10s. We can do some C4H10s. Let's do those. Can we erase these ones and do some C4H10s? Well, why don't we just kill this video and do its own video? Are there any questions about this?


Changes in elevation on US Geological Survey or USGS Topomaps are illustrated by thin brown lines called contour lines. A contour line is an imaginary line on the ground along which every point is at the same elevation above sea level. Often every fifth line is darker than the others. These are known as index contour lines. They may also have a number printed on them which indicates the elevation along that line. The distance between one contour line and the next is known as contour interval. The contour interval of your map should be printed at the bottom margin of your USGS Topomap. There are some things to remember when interpreting contour lines. When contour lines are widely spaced apart, that represents a gentle slope. Lines that are closer together represent a steep slope. Topo lines that look like they're running together represent a cliff. When topo lines cross a stream or river, they make a V shape. The point of the V is always pointing uphill. Ridges or hills are represented with topo lines in a U shape. The bottom of the U points downhill.
