Alright guys, this is the Holyland Solidcom C1. It's a full duplex wireless intercom system with four headsets. One of the unique things about this is that it requires no beltpacks, no base station or anything like that, it is connected with just the headsets themselves for the perfect intercom capability for various different scenarios. I'm going to go ahead and unbox this first, show you some of the features, the key specifications, how to set it up and how it performs with using the headsets as a wireless intercom. Let's go ahead and dive straight in. Okay, let's go ahead and open this very nice heavy-duty carry case, just on the front you have yourself the four headsets so let me take out the first one here. This headset is 168 grams which is incredibly lightweight which will be super comfortable to give you all-day usage. Let me show you the second headset which is very similar to the first one. The only difference being you'll notice with both of these headsets, one has a red color and the other one has a blue color. The red one here is referred to as the master headset which will basically control all of the other three headsets, you have four in total in the box, this one is the slave headset which is the one color-coded in blue, you'll see there's a label just on these sides so M for the master and the other three are labeled one, two and three. Let me go ahead and show you what else is in the box, in addition to two other slave headsets you have yourself the battery pack here. Now there's eight batteries that you can charge using this little battery base station, once you have a full charge on the battery and it takes about two and a half hours to fully charge you get a maximum working time of five hours for the master headset but additionally for the individual slave headsets you get up to ten working hours and that will cover most of the scenarios that you're going to use this wireless intercom system for. Now there's eight batteries here but there's four headsets so if you have a full charge on all of them then you also have a backup battery in case you run low on power for any of the headsets which will give you more peace of mind of having a full day's worth of charge for using this wireless intercom system. Then you also have yourself the user manual, the quick guide, there's also some additional stickers red and blue so if you wanted to label them and set them up separately then you can do that. The reason there's up to eight here is because you can connect up to a total of nine headsets which would require a base station. If you don't need a base station or you don't want one then you can connect up to six headsets in total including the master without any base station involved or any hub. If we move into the accessories portion of this carry case you have yourself the power adapter to charge up the batteries, there's some soft leather ear pieces to attach to the headsets and then you have the foam sponge pieces that go onto the existing headset and microphones so that's the foam here and on the microphone part there and then finally you have yourself a USB-A to USB-C cable this is not to charge the headset this is actually to upgrade the firmware on the headsets. So plenty of accessories in the box to give you maximum comfortability. Now let's dive in a little bit more about the headsets themselves. Now a few other key specifications about these headsets is that this operates with a clear wideband from 150 Hertz up to 7 kilo Hertz of frequency response which I think is a very great response rate. This also operates up to 1000 feet range in a clear line of sight so that's roughly around 350 meters and I will test that range I'll head outside and I'll use this as an example to showcase you guys if it does cut off how is the audio and how's the performance in the signal strength so we will test that but having that range I think will cover most different situations of why someone would need a wireless intercom system like this and finally it has something called DECT 6.0 that's a security feature which stands for digital enhanced cordless telecommunications version 6.0 that basically prevents interference from other wireless technologies and also what that means is no one can interfere with your transmission on a certain frequency and they can't listen in so this makes it very private and very secure no matter what you're doing for it. I think a system like this is very beneficial for media production teams that are out doing filming and shoots that are very distant from each other. The reason you have a master is because there would be one person that's kind of directing the whole operations so that person will be communicating with the three other headsets if you have a team of four you can go up to a maximum of six without a you know hub involved or if you go to up to nine headsets then you would need a hub but essentially that would be the same situation where you have someone as the master that's you know powering and doing all of the key communications amongst all of the other headsets but it's kind of like a walkie-talkie but a more advanced and a very well built one at that. So let's dive in now a little bit closer about the headset how to set it up how to use it. Okay so taking a look at the headset of course this is your microphone piece depending on which ear you want to use this on your left or your right ear this actually swings both ways so you can go to the left or the right so whether you are more comfortable having this on one side of the face this is very easily adjustable this also has an auto mute mechanism so when you want to mute yourself you simply just swing it up you'll hear a slight click and that will mute your microphone to start talking again you simply swing it down and your voice becomes active. There's also an LED indicator that will light up here on the microphone piece I'll showcase that in example but this will light up green when it's paired and you are active. Button wise you have yourself the plus and minus which are the volume controls the A button is required to pair any additional headsets that you may purchase outside of the kit that you already have so for example I have a kit of four headsets if I buy a fifth one I can pair it by pressing this button for about five seconds and connect to that itself. The B button is to pair with a base station or a hub if you are connecting up to nine but in this case this will not be required. It's very straightforward and very simple. Just on the bottom there is the switch to turn the headset on and off. On the right hand side you have yourself the USB-C port this is not to charge the headset this is only to upgrade the firmware of the headset whenever you need to and you can use the supplied USB-C cable to do that. On the battery compartment this is where you will flip open the compartment here you just switch to unlock and it slides open and there you will slot the battery. So let me go ahead and do that now for each of these headsets. So I have charged this full and you do get an LED indicator on the battery pack so it's amber when it's charging and when it's fully charged it will switch to green it clips directly into place and there you have it. So now let's go ahead and turn both of these on and keep an eye out for the LED indicators that are on the microphone pieces here. So if you've got one there or one there I'm going to turn on the master first there you can see it's on. Let's turn on the other one it's blinking and you get a verbal confirmation in the earpiece that connection has succeeded both of them are solid green now they are ready to use and you can do the same with the other headsets in the carry case. Alright guys so now we're going to test out the 1000 foot or 350 meter range on this headset. So this is a national park that I'm just standing in right down there in the distance is actually measured 350 meters almost exactly. So I've got a team that's with me behind the camera and I'm going to be asking them to take a walk all the way down there and I'll be communicating with them at the same time using my master headset. One thing that I also wanted to just mention to you guys with the master headset is if someone for my team is 1000 feet that way someone else from the team can be 1000 feet the opposite way. Those two people are 2000 feet away from each other but they will still be able to communicate to me absolutely fine because I am the central hub for this master headset and I have basically a 1000 foot radius in a circle all around me for wherever the other people with the other headsets would be. So let me go ahead and get started with showcasing to you guys how the audio still comes out at that range. Alright guys so I've got my teammate there and she's going to start walking all the way down to the end of this trail just to test to see if the audio is coming out. I've asked her to give me a call on my phone but I will have it muted and once it's muted she won't be able to hear anything that I'm saying through the phone only through the headset and she'll be communicating back through her phone and hear her from my microphone how good the audio still comes out at various different stages of this distance so let's go ahead and make that phone call and I'll showcase to you guys so now I've answered it I'm going to mute and cameraman behind the camera can you see that's muted yes okay cool so now teammate you can start walking all the way down towards the end and give me random updates maybe at the 100 meter mark then the 200 meter mark 300 and finally when you get to the bench right at the back that will be 350 meters yep I can still hear you clearly just make sure you're closer to your phone so it picks up by my lavalier microphone okay quite clear cool yeah everything sounding clear the audio is actually very similar to a phone call as well but it's more like a walkie talkie voice which I think sounds a little bit clearer and you can also adjust the volume if it's too loud or too soft yep everything's still sounding clear whereabouts are you now meter-wise do you recognize I reckon about halfway halfway okay yeah it's actually quite a long walk we were carrying this equipment from that end all the way over to this end 350 meters it took a few minutes yeah I reckon that's about 250 meters where you are so far there's no dropouts everything still sounds clear to you right from me yep absolutely at least the sun has come out okay I'm not near enough okay so that's 350 meters and you can still hear everything I'm saying right yep is that clear the same as before oh well I'm just wondering like if you go another 50 meters back make it 400 meters pass the person with the dog another 50 meters the same quality wow that's crazy like if you're wave not sure you can see me I can see you teammate too can you see her on the camera okay she got confirmation she can see you on the camera that you are waving wow that's about 400 meters so you know we really push that thousand feet mark so that's really good teammate too if you zoom all the way back out yep and I'll come and quickly show you I'm still muted and I've got teammate number one that's done that walk still on mute so you know that distance for me is incredible and it's no wonder this is such a premium set of headphones by hollyland and I can't find any faults with this to be honest I personally won't see myself doing any type of filming at this extreme range if you're you know maybe in a massive Hollywood production or if you are maybe on a runway where you are racing cars then you might have people you know using this at a distance like that but it could be various scenarios that cover this but for me personally I think this is something that for anyone that just needs a great intercom system to coordinate with various different teammates this is the one to get I will definitely recommend you guys check out the link in the description for this and if you have any questions about any other capabilities of this let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as I can but for me it's a complete two thumbs up and now let's head back indoors to finish off so you see guys that worked perfectly fine and I was so confident that this would work so good outdoors in such a long range because I've tested a lot of Hollyland products in the past and they have been very premium quality and have never let me down and they've you know pretty much always worked out of the box and that's the key thing with this one it's so easy to use so even if you're a novice user that are not familiar with intercom systems and you don't know how this type of thing works then you want to need to worry about that because literally it's just you taking the headset out of the box putting the battery in turning it on they're automatically paired start communicating with all of your team and you're ready to go that's it there's nothing else to it and the fact that you can customize this by adding additional headsets if you need to later on down the line that makes it even more better because it gives you a little bit more peace of mind knowing that if your team expands you can always cover that additional usage by just getting another headset and pairing it very easily by pressing the a button on there for five seconds connecting it to your master and your up and running what more do you want but above all else you know for me personally this offers a highly portable and hands-free coordinating experience for media production teams or any team looking for real-time non-blocking voice communications and for any team that's required to operate in various distance to working scenarios so that's it guys check out the link in the description the four pack comes in just another one thousand dollars you may think that is quite expensive but the quality of the product that you get and the set of features and capabilities that this can do if you are a large production team this is definitely worth it and i recommend you guys check it out it's brand new it was released very recently so i don't see anything competing with this on the market right now of course there's a lot of intercom systems that exist but some of them and most of them will require a base station or a belt pack or you know a bit of fiddling about to connect everything together this eliminates all of that and just makes it so easy to use if there's anything you guys want to know about this system drop a comment down below and i'll try to get back to you as soon as i can i have new videos out every week with cool tech just like this so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of those ones and i'll catch you guys at the next one take care


The media created the popularity of Nefertron. It informed everybody in the public that there is a legal, good drug called Miao Miao. That created a huge demand. And when there's a demand, and you have suppliers that can also supply, there's supply.


Alright, so we had four testimonials coming, I shared them on Slack last night. One agent just closed her first lead ever, and it was the first lead she ever got, and it was from us, so she's going to have a really good outlook on the lead in general now. Every lead's a sell from now on for her. First lead, first presentation, first sell, $720 bucks, then she texted her upline saying a final expense just called, lead just called me, what in the world? I actually said something else, I can't share our video, it's kind of funny. It was a good thing, but she said, wait, they call you now? What in the world? So I thought that was cool. Then we had another one that said, brand new agent, another brand new agent actually ordered 20 of our leads for the first time on Friday, and it's already booked 10 appointments, and that was yesterday morning. So that was within like the first 60 hours or something like that, which is insane. So 10 for 20, 50%, we talk about 40 to 60% all the time. Brand new agent, no clue what they're doing probably, 50%, so there you go. Also another agent shared they put up 2300 bucks on Saturday, both from our leads. They've already tripled their investment. They said, if you are contemplating buying secure agent mentor leads, do it. So that's kind of cool. And then another one, we could just keep doing these forever and ever. Another one is, morning to morning, another one is, when leads are calling you at 5 a.m. to book appointments, then you know that these leads are smoking hot. So I thought it was pretty cool, with a bunch of fire emojis, that was awesome. So everything we're doing is helping, everything we're doing is absolute fire, positive testimonials just keep coming in. There's a lot of people that haven't tried our services yet, that will be because of the wild and saint success that we're having. So give you guys a hand and keep it up.


After watching the next video, Two Laws of Logic, I want you to practice these laws on your note sheet. First, the law of detachment. And I want to, a little reminder of the law of detachment. You start with the conditional statement, if P, then Q. And you can only make a conclusion if you know that P is true. Keep that in mind, it's really important. With the law of syllogism, it's really important to organize your statements. If P, then Q. If Q, then R. And so on. Make sure you're organizing them and matching up the conclusion of one statement, the second half, the then of one statement with the if or the hypothesis of another statement. If you line those up correctly, you'll always get law of syllogism correct. I also want to make a note that number nine on your note sheet has the statements jumbled up. So, get them somewhat in order before you try and figure out what the final conclusion is and organizing your if, P, then Q. If Q, then R. And so on.

Hello everyone. Okay, so this is my Titles my a destruction an AR wing flown to destruction And that's basically, you know what I've done with it and yeah, don't get me wrong This is the way, you know, I like to learn how to fly everyone's gonna have their own way I just like to get out there just keep flying about just keep pushing it And you learn quite a bit So on the left hand side If I remember rightly this is the final flight with this aircraft Yeah on the left-hand side of the big screen and then on the right-hand side What we got is just a whole bunch of clips top right of the crashes now These are not all the crashes. I didn't want to run a video for like 19 minutes or anything and I wanted to use like the last flights as You know as the last one so on the left-hand side Now, what can I tell you about this this wing? It's great as you can see down the bottom Look, you know, I've wrecked this thing in the end the Further down the right-hand side of this wing got absolutely ripped off And that's why I couldn't put it back together again because it it was just flapping about too much then But up until that point I mean this thing had I think it was like four nasty nasty Tear apart and it's still with the bitty you who glue but is that we've take you can bang it back together again and Great thing about it as well as when I took off Near enough all the tape not all the tape because it's still a little bit left on the fuselage and I couldn't bother to rip off and around the mouth Mota housing But when I weighed up what I took off the wings what I'd taken off the wings 57 Sorry 47.7 grams 47.7 grams of tape Now I did start flying this first with a camera With a camera mountain nose a GoPro I smashed my GoPro to pieces I broke one lens. I reorder another I didn't change the LCD screen even though it was damaged after the first hit But I have got another one now, so I can do a change of that screen And it you know that's You're talking a camera that cost four times more than the wing So I realized that's a bit of a daft idea Especially if you're a learner, don't be wrong You've been flying these things for a long time and you're quite happy with your launches in your London's fine But if you're just getting into this and you want to be flying around Don't stick a GoPro in the front You don't actually need it in there anyway for the way because at this minute in time And I'll do a video after this video about my setup because I don't have a HD camera in there I've just got what I've done now is I put my FEV camera just in the nose and I've reinforced the nose with some good light but the Phone so rather than the nose just getting smashed in the way it does Now there's going to be quite a bit to it to hold it in I don't use like you can see the Video transmitter on the left hand side there and the camera. I don't use that Video transmitter with a big antenna on anymore. I just got a little tiny ipix linear antenna Because if you do land Top down there's a good possibility depending what you land on you're going to rip that antenna out So you're going to rip part your cabling out If you come down hard like I do in some of these you know these top-right videos You'll rip the wings off. You'll pull your cables out The server you can't do anything about but in the way I've set it up now I've got everything inside apart from I put a very cheap. It's the BT-03 E-sheen video transmitter with the linear antenna just on the wing And I've not glued in the cables or anything. I've I used a soldering iron Just to cut a sort of trench so I can lay the cables in and what it means now is like I found out because I've already broken the new frame Is that the cabling just popped out the video transmitter popped out and nothing was damaged no no Antennas ripped off. I didn't lose me before the 16 pound when I bought it 14 pound now luminaire stubby You know I just lost that with the With the cable in the field so and I've decided now, you know, you put 45 pounds transmitter in one of these things when you're just learning I Look out on the left-hand side see that running across there Yeah, and then yeah, you can lose, you know, you can damage the video transmitters so much especially the ones that You just rip the pads off the video transmitter. So I did I decided everything stays in the middle Yes, the transmitter still goes out in the ring slightly But I've set it up in wires that will just pop out the wing if the ring comes apart or breaks And so it's not really gonna do too much damage. And it's only a it's only a 10 pound video transmitter Which compared to some of the others isn't too much of a loss So, yeah Fantastic honestly fantastic flying these things has been a fantastic laugh, you know, even though decent landings coming like that But it can't wheeled over I'm absolutely, you know loving it It's different to a mini quad and the main difference is you are continuously in your fast forward flight You're continuously in forward flight, which is Means there's no real room for it a lot of errors, especially when you start coming in quite low But it is so much fun. I'm gonna swap out like I said, I don't have a HD camera at the moment I've just fitted a caddx The 1200 TV lines just see what it's like But I do what I want to be able to do is by a I don't know Runcam split Hawkeye, you know because they've got the HD But they're the size of the little tiny cameras so I can fit that in the front I don't have to bother them with a big bulky heavy HD camera Because like I say, you know, I damaged my GoPro so much It's it's just not worth sticking one in the front and like I say you don't need to have that weight in the front Have it all balanced out. I've got a brother hobby with R3 return on R3 on the back of my wing Nice and light 28 grams with a nice light dowel prop 6040 prop now And it flies nice It really does fly nice. We can't really see it in any of these videos because These videos, you know, we've all got the tape on as you can see look see how it's takes up Any images down below and you can see this tape around the motor now. This is because it has another accident. I Didn't take photos. I didn't do a lot of video of the accidents I was too keen just get the thing back up in the air. We get very limited time in this country for decent weather, you know Where it's like pretty Four or five mile an hour winds, six mile an hour winds It's normally a little bit more than that and it makes for quite turbulent flying A lot of the time. So it's just nice to be able to get a Couple of days where you can actually get some flying in so, you know, my idea is just quickly slap it back together again And just trick it back up in the air because that's all you want. It's just practice practice practice Now of course the way it is now is Down the bottom bottom right except for where the white foam is in where the normal FPV camera go I've now got black foam in there. So you can't really stick out so much. As you can see, there's nothing on the wings See this They're the ones that sort of trash it. No sort of things. They do are then have to muck it up Yeah, but as you can see there's no tape or anything now because I'm not flying in the field If you see in the field actually in that meadow part there on the top, right, that's fine, but in the field here, it's all this almost like bamboo, but not and At one stage, you know, I was I let you have got my shorts on I was running across this field It was like scratching up my legs quite badly We got to do that, but we're not flying here anymore now because the farmers asked us not to In not so many words Yeah, but it's absolutely fantastic. Honestly this a our wing I can't believe one that it took so much abuse and it Was so easy to fix now the things that I did get through on it were serbones Okay, so the first surveys well, they went pretty quickly anyway Then I put in a couple of extra tronics and then I had a turn of Jesus when the extra tronics failed on a crash But now I've got a couple of emacs ES twos I think they are the metal gear job is and I have not managed to damage these yet But then I've not had I've only had one sort of a crash where because the wing that you can see down the bottom now Is the new frame, but that's actually had the wing ripped off When I hit a goal post something flying between the goal post Of course these things are gonna happen The only way you're gonna learn how to fly like that in a way is to actually do it But I don't have big air air gates on the fence. I've got to use goalposts I think what it will do if maybe not of the bigger gates is just Make me fine to my flight a little bit quicker You know, maybe that's the way you're looking at it Thoroughly enjoyable. This is definitely well, this was a bad smash. Even though it doesn't look too terribly bad That was quite bad. Now these ones in the black and white. This is using the eagle Night night eagle and as you can see look just flying around fifty four percent throttle Just keeping it fifty four percent Little fly around that black and white Yeah, just wait There we go buff We've got a reboot We've got a reboot, but I've I didn't really know what was going on I was talking to me mate at the same time and I didn't really get real gear to just take over this thing This is funny. Look at that. Nice and focused. Whoa, what's going on? The lenses loose. I don't know why you have never played around with a lens on this Maybe I've knocked it by accident or something or maybe the glue is just cracked and But this can happen. It's one of the things that you need to just be aware of these things can happen like I say, I mean that just went out with a focused lens and it's coming back in with I can't see anything But we're down. We're good. Now this one here again and the black and white and there's The the night eagle is not the dominating factor in this We're up a hundred percent the throttle here 21 amps from the 30 amp ESC and bang. We're out of power again This time it didn't reset the camera as you can sell because we didn't go through that But I sort of caught it this time and even though we're at 50% throttle there because I've not dropped it down As you can see it's saying 0.9. It normally that should mean more like 0.3 and a half or But it's more accurate when you're going up in the current I put it on my meter and Yeah, that's not right. So the one that was on the left-hand side there That's that was the finish off of that and just to show you it wasn't all bad landings even on a real windy day Oh, we still get him. Thanks for watching guys. I enjoyed the wings a great wing. Bye if you like it


team. My name is Erin Barker and I am a customer success specialist with Hypothesis. Today we're talking about actual implementation of social annotation in your courses using Hypothesis. One thing I want to tell you before we get started, today we are not talking about how to add a Hypothesis assignment to your LMS. I'll quickly give you some resources on how to do that. We are also not talking going to go into a lot of depth into what Hypothesis is. The assumption is if you're here then you kind of have a general idea. That said we'll do a quick review and then we'll hop into actual ideas for use with your students. So first we're going to cover today a quick review of what social annotation is and its benefits. Then we'll do a quick review of how Hypothesis works in your LMS. We will not work specifically with the very like just Canvas or just Sakai or whatever just because everyone here has different LMSs. We're going to talk about why social annotation is important. I'm going to give you some ideas for using social annotation in your courses and with your students and then I'm going to give you some specific examples of Hypothesis in action. So if you've been to a previous Hypothesis workshop in the past which I actually think is many of you, you know that we like to use a quote about sharing the margins of a reading with our colleagues and peers. So to that end I want to go ahead and share this quote from Dr. Brandon Morgan from Central New Mexico about social annotation because I think it really encapsulates, encapsulates, let's see if I can say that correctly, the purpose of social annotation. So take about five ten seconds and read the quote to yourself. I like this because I think this comes directly from an instructor who uses social annotation frequently in his courses and I like it because it's direct and to the point and it gets to what we want social annotation to do which is to think critically and engage with texts. We also want our students thinking to be visible to us the instructors. So I heard this wonderful liquid margin show recently where the instructor was talking about marginalia representing individual thoughts and individual interactions with the text but it all lives in the reader's head. So think about social annotation now taking what's living in the reader's head, taking that marginalia and allowing that to be shared with peers and colleagues. Lots of you have seen this slide before but I want to just point it out again. We have lots of resources on using Hypothesis and teaching and learning. These are just a few. I always push the annotation etiquette guide for students because I think it's a nice clear example of creating substantive annotations and I do like to say those of you who've been on my webinars before so I apologize if this is repetitive. I think it would be very meta for students to annotate the annotation etiquette guide. And then adding images, videos, and links to your annotations this is a great one because think about if your students are able to add images and videos to annotations they're going to engage more deeply with each other and with the text. So real quick you're here because Hypothesis is installed in your LMS whether that's Blackboard or D2L or Canvas or Moodle. Just remember that when it's installed in your LMS students do not need to log in. They automatically have an account with Hypothesis and they don't need to be added to the course. They're already in the course and their annotations are private to that course. I do want to quickly say some of you are coming from schools that are requiring you to add Hypothesis at the course level yourselves. I did notice we have a participant here from Ventura College. We do use a Valencia or Ventura. Either way, both of them are requiring you to add Hypothesis yourselves at the course level. If you have any questions with that let us know. And this is just a quick list of resources for those of you who may need it on implementing Hypothesis specific to your LMS. They're all listed there. If you don't see your LMS listed there then I probably did something wrong at 11 o'clock last night. So let's get to the meat of what we want to do today which is talk about implementing social annotation. If you are still on the fence with social annotation or you haven't yet launched a Hypothesis-enabled reading in your course I wanted to just go over a few reasons why you might use Hypothesis and social annotation. I just want to say we're going to use a couple different terms here. We'll use digital annotation, we'll use social annotation, we'll use Hypothesis, we'll use marginalia. So the first is that digital annotation really encourages meaning-making. Meaning-making is the process of how people construe understand or make sense, make sense is key I like that, of life events, relationships, and self. So if students are able to create meaning in the margins of a text and share that meaning with their peers they're first going to develop a stronger relationship with the text and create stronger connections and they're going to create stronger relationships with each other because they're able to share that meaning together. I also say the digital annotation encourages textual analysis which involves understanding the language in the text to gain information about how people are making sense of the text right. If students are really able to engage in deep textual analysis they can make substantive and deeper connections across context, across readings, across disciplines, and we at Hypothesis really do think that social annotation allows that. Lastly and I think this is key because you may be the instructor in the room but you're not really the only expert right, you're not the only teacher. Digital annotation encourages peer-to-peer collaboration which really allows students to feel socially and emotionally safe and then therefore prepared to learn academically in the course. Think about the comfort level that comes from being able to see each other's ideas, meanings, and connections to the text and how that then creates a community in a course where students feel socially and emotionally and academically safe. So a couple other pieces about social annotation and digital annotation that we think are important. I'm a former middle school teacher, lots of people are like yeah yeah middle school how does that apply at you know the higher ed level? Actually turns out middle school and higher ed are not so different. In middle school we really focus on this idea of student-centered learning and in higher ed we should also be doing the same and ultimately learning is the students responsibility. We think that social annotation shifts the ownership of the learning back over to students, allows you as an instructor to spend less time explicitly telling students what to do and to spend more time asking them questions. So you can then take on the role of provoking their thinking and motivating them to ask their own questions. We also think that it really builds this idea of community around a common critical reading. So again returning to this idea of you are not learning in isolation. A lot of you might be teaching online right now, you might be teaching in a hybrid format, you might be teaching in person with students who can't come to class because they're in quarantine or for whatever reason right now. Digital annotation allows all of your students to come together over a text and be part of, I've said the word community a million times, but be part of a community together. I get a lot of questions right now about how does this work in person? What if we go back to school in person? Now we don't need this right? Or now we're in a hybrid class so we meet and you know we see each other or this class is too large to use hypothesis and actually I would disagree. I think that hypothesis enables student learning in a variety of environments, whatever those look like. If you're online, students can go ahead and they can annotate synchronously or asynchronously. If you're in person you can even take 10 minutes of class out of your in-person class and have them annotate together at the same time replacing say a discussion. You can also have them annotate prior to an in-person class. If you're in a large class you can give different students different roles in annotation and if you're in small groups you can do the same. Lastly I think that digital annotation makes your thinking visible to others which leads to more potential change and learning. If you think about this, thinking together really leads to cognition across contacts, across groups, across diverse ideas. Let's get to some specific ideas or cross-discipline ideas for implementing social annotation with students. I want to be clear here. All of these ideas we have gleaned from instructors across the country and even across the world so I'm not the expert in the room here. I'm guessing all of you have lots of great ideas as well and I encourage you to post them in the chat. The first one is asking students to annotate with questions to the text. We tell students all the time, go ahead and annotate questions about the text. Think about changing that question to can you annotate with questions to the text? What questions do you have of the text itself? And what kind of conversation does that lead to among your students? Students can annotate with comments and connections to prepare for discussion. So essentially using annotations to promote discussion in class. Some of you have been in my webinars where I've talked about this idea that if you're able to present and vet your ideas in writing first, you're more likely to discuss it in class and to have a more substantive discussion in class. So using annotations to actually prepare for in-class discussion. I have a lot of instructors who will go ahead and annotate the text prior to students accessing the text and they go in and they annotate targeted questions to students in the sidebar themselves. Students are able to see the text. They're able to see the questions that connect directly to the text and they don't have to kind of go back and forth between okay reading questions, text, how are they connected, what's going on here. When students are able to answer the questions they can also respond to each other in that sidebar and connect it back to the text. This last one I really like. I have some instructors who will provide examples of annotations of a difficult text in advance. So they will show they're kind of showing students how to create good annotations and how to use that marginalia to their benefit. Thinking about how do we take notes on a text. This kind of comes into the scheme of modeling. The more we model to our students the better results we're going to get. So they're just modeling those annotations. So I want to stop for a second and take a look at the chat. I see some great comments and questions happening and let me open up my chat bigger because there's so much going on. We have lots of how-to webinars. I can't remember what school you're at so I can't remember if you have a webinar coming up but we'll be happy to direct you to the right spot. If not, you are welcome to schedule with one of us, either Becky or I, on how to use Hypothesis within your LMS. Then I've been referred to this idea of using Hypothesis to teach students how to read in their specific discipline. This is actually one of my favorite ideas. I have lots of instructors who go in and will say, this is what you should be paying attention to, focus on these key words and this is what you should not be paying attention to, really helping them guide them through these difficult texts. I can tell you that's one of our most successful uses of social annotation. Carol, regarding access to the annotations, students can print to PDF their annotations and then this is kind of getting into the weeds a bit. As an instructor, you can have access to kind of a spreadsheet of all your course annotations and you could print them out for students. Get in touch with one of us. Our email is success at hypothesis.is. It's in the slide deck and we can give you access to that dashboard. Aaron, I love this. I've taught a reading with or without Hypothesis and I didn't get questions until I used Hypothesis. Excellent. That's really cool to hear. I hear that quite a bit actually. Anna at CUNY Kingsborough, we are actually doing a webinar on Wednesday. Emily Schnee is the person who's in charge. If you want to get in contact with Emily, she can give you the information or if you want to email one of us, I will make sure to get you that Zoom link. The chat is saved along with the recording and I believe you get access to that right after today's session. Okay, perfect.  Let's talk about examples of Hypothesis in action. I want to be clear that maybe some of what you see will be from a different LMS than the one that you use. But the idea is the same. The other thing I'm going to tell you is everything that has a resource is linked in the deck. So I'll show you an example. This resource about teaching students about annotation. This top title right here is a direct link to more information. So just know that if you're like, Ah, this doesn't give me enough info. You can go ahead and access the slide deck and select the title, and you'll be able to get more about it. All right, or more resources about it. So this is an example of an instructor who really wanted to make sure students knew how to annotate first. She was very intentional with teaching her students how to annotate before she said to them, just go annotate. Good luck with that. Let me know how it goes, right? And so she created these instructions for students on how to use Hypothesis specifically, and then how to annotate effectively. I love this because I think that this instructor was very intentional. And I think that intent is crucial so that students can do the job correctly and demonstrate their learning, which is what you want to see, right? So this instructor gave different ways to annotate and then how to annotate effectively and linked the different types of annotations and the tips directly in the instructions. I have seen other instructors who will if like say they're in an online course or even an in person course, they will model annotating in front of their students so they know exactly how to do it. This is another example of using explicit instructions. One of the biggest questions are biggest that's not correct. One of the most frequent questions I get from instructors is what should you tell students to do? How do you get them to annotate? I think that you have to decide number one, what is your intent for annotating or for asking your students to annotate together?  That's fine. What is your intent? Do you want them to demonstrate their thinking? Do you want them to ask questions of the text? Do you want them to just show that they've read the text? So once you've determined your intent, then you can determine your specific instructions. In this case, you can see that the instructor asked students to choose a word they would not normally use and then to annotate that word. And it's possible that in this case, the instructor was trying to get students to focus on vocabulary. That was the intent. You'll notice as well that this instructor asked students to tag their annotations. You can use tags and annotations as a way to categorize or group them and to get students to think kind of in this idea of, okay, these are based on theme, these are based on thesis or this is a discussion type of tag. Actually, how to criminal justice professor I worked with who had students tag with the type of evidence they found in the text. So they tagged with things like, I believe it was statistic, personal story, physical evidence. This is an example of giving students explicit instructions for reading a scholarly article. And this again is linked. If you select the title here, it's a link to more information with the resource. So this instructor said create two annotations that provide facts or images and one that adds an insight or asks a question. So the instructor saying, I want three annotations. And two of them need to be this and one of them need to be this. Again, very specific. And then when the instructor goes to grade, they're able to say, check, check, check, you got it right, you check the boxes, you get 10 out of 10. I stole this one from my colleague, Becky, who actually stole this one from another instructor. And again, this is linked directly in the deck. We often talk about using social annotation to create community. So this is a nice way to use social annotation to get to know peers in your class. And if you're comfortable working with your peers, I think it also gives more insight into student backgrounds, because it's talking about student names. The other thing I was thinking about when I put this together, I don't know if some of you have noticed, but our LMS is collect the student name that comes to us from the student information system. And it's possible that is not the name the student prefers. Hypothesis itself reads the name sent to us from the LMS. So I think this is a great way to get students to really reveal more about themselves, more about their history and to connect with each other, while also learning about annotation. In this case, they had the students annotate their name, give some background on their name, oops, sorry, talk about any problems that their name may have caused in the past. Let me go back here. And if they have a nickname, I know that this is not necessarily a scholarly article or an academic activity. But knowing the way brain science works, if we cannot get our students to feel comfortable in our course, they can't learn, right? Oh, Kaija, I love that. The great way to share preferred pronouns as well. This one does not have a resource, but I want it's something I want to think about and to refer to. I worked with an instructor recently, who was really talking about this idea of annotation as recursive practice, recursive practice, I have to say that correctly. Learning doesn't just end one day, right? And, like, yes, class may end on December 1st, and we are done with that course for the term. Okay, fine, goodbye. Ideally, our students do not walk away from our course and stop learning entirely. They're done, right? The same is true of annotations. Annotating a text with hypothesis should not be a one time gig. You should come back to the text over and over again, so that you can see how others have annotated. You can go back and check your own annotations. You can see how responses are going. So one of the things that we do have to say in hypothesis is that you will have to encourage students to return to annotation regularly. In your LMS, we do not send notifications to students when someone has responded to their annotation. That's because we don't have access to student email addresses, so we don't have the ability to do that. Additionally, it's because most LMSs are pedagogically built on this idea that if you submit an assignment, you are done. You don't need to come back to it. And in reality, hypothesis is not that way at all. This is another way in terms of determining intent and how you would like to grade your annotations. I know that if you're on a smaller screen than me, this text shows up quite small and you can't really see it. So I understand that. Know that this title at the top, Use Rubrics, has a link to this rubric specifically. So feel free to take a look at this rubric. This is a pretty involved rubric for grading annotations, but some of it may work for you, some of it may not. Feel free to grab what works and what doesn't. So take a look here. I like some of the sections here. Consistency of comment, depth of consideration. This is one of my favorite topics. Is there a depth of consideration? And how would we grade students on that? And then engaging with other students, I think is really important. And I think, was it Justin, Deborah, Erin? Erin, this might help with some of the repetitive piece. I have some other ideas to help you with that as well. I do want to kind of talk about grading and using rubrics and giving students points for annotation assignments. I'm going to give you my personal opinion here and you are free to discard it or listen to it or whatever. I do not think that social annotation is great for assessment purposes. I think that it's not it's good to demonstrate the process of learning. And in that regard, I think it's better as a participation grade. So you're not necessarily looking for proficiency. You're looking for did students complete what I asked them to do? Did they follow my guidelines? And if so, 10 out of 10. Now you may think differently, and that is totally fair. But just considering the nature of social annotation and what it's meant to do if we go back to the first couple slides we talked about, it's not perfect for assessment. I do want to take a look at some of the questions in the chat in terms of repetitiveness of annotations. There are some ways around that. I'm going to throw some ideas out there, Erin, but know that they may work for you and they may not. So the first idea that we often give to instructors is to give students different roles in the annotations. So for example, you might say students with the last names A through F. Your job is to create questions to the text in the annotations. Students with last names G through O or whatever. Your job is to answer your peers questions. You may also say students A through F. Your job is to annotate with comments or connections. Pages one through five and students G through Z. Your job is to annotate with connections and comments on pages six through ten. So splitting up the document and then giving them different roles within that document. Of course, it does require a little more work on your part in terms of giving the instructions, but I think you'll get less repetitiveness that way as well. You can also divide students into groups and say, hey, group A, your job is to find the key words in this document and define them in the annotations. Group B, your job is to find the key ideas or write questions and write that in the annotations. That might help with repetitiveness and then if you require students to reply to each other, then they're replying to questions or comments they haven't already created themselves. Hopefully that's helpful, I'm not sure, but yes, I like that. Thank you, Becky, for contributing. Something about students accessing the text after the courses over, Deborah, is as long as students have access to the course, they have access to the document and the annotations. So sometimes the school will continue to provide access to the course, but students cannot continue to contribute or to turn in things. They'll still have access to that document and to the annotations that way. Anna, great question. What do you mean by annotate with connections? So you might say to students, I'd like you to annotate with connections to previous readings. How does this reading relate to the reading from last week? Or can you annotate with a personal experience? Tell me how this relates to a personal experience. Can you annotate with something you learned in a previous course? How does that relate? Can you find something else on the internet that is connected to this statement? So those are some ideas with connections. Remembering, you can always annotate with images, gifs, memes, videos, URLs, and so you can even ask students, can you annotate with a related image, adding some visual to the text.  We have lots of hypothesis partners. Thank you for being our partner. We have over 251 now. Just pretty amazing. I see lots of great questions today. Some of them about, you know, installing or accessing. Feel free to always, always, always submit a support ticket to support at hypothesis.is. As a partner, your ticket goes to the top of the queue. I will tell you our support team will even hop onto a zoom call with you if needed and screen share as much as possible. And then if you want to talk to Beckier Eye, this link right here will schedule time with Beckier Eye and we can walk you through anything you might need with hypothesis. Lots of the ideas that we used today actually came from liquid margins, which is our regular show on using social annotation across disciplines. If you take a look at that liquid margins link, it gives you access to previous shows where we talk to instructors in world languages and teacher education and they even have little one-minute clips with the best ideas. Please check those out because I tell you I learned so much from that show that I then pass off to all of you. And if you have any questions or need anything after today, this is our email address. But before I sign off, I want to see if there's other ideas that might come out from those of you who've been using hypothesis or more questions. And if you want to talk, you can feel free to raise your hand and I'll give you permission to talk. Hi, Kaija. Hi, so it's Kaya, but no worries, no worries. So today actually, so I had my students annotate over the like over the weekend before their Tuesday class and so then I read their annotations before class and I was able to pick up on where there was a lot of energy, things that people wanted to talk about and some questions that were raised. So then I sort of picked and choose between that about what I wanted to focus on on class and discussion went much better because I was asking questions that connected to what they cared about rather than what I cared about. I mean it was like it was related. I picked the things that I cared about out of what they cared about, but it was a place where we crossed our interest intersected and it made for a much better discussion in class. I love that because I think that, you know, one of the things we always say a hypothesis is that it makes reading visible to you, the instructor, and you don't know unless they've taken some notes or annotated it ahead of time. Thank you. Yeah, thank you for contributing that. I love it. Yeah. And for being a good example of what I was talking about. Sure. Kaya is welcome. She will answer all of your questions from here on out. So if anyone has questions, Kaya is here as our special guest. Questions, comments, contributions. Joanne, I have my own theories on this one. Joanne asked, how does hypothesis help enhance equity in the classroom? I actually want to throw this back out there to some of you who may have used hypothesis. How do you all think hypothesis helps enhance equity in the classroom? Okay, so great comments coming in. I appreciate what you're all contributing right now. So more voices are heard in annotations than in the classroom. One of the things I frequently say is not all of our students like to talk just because I work in customer success and talk all day doesn't mean others want to. So they're able to make their voice heard through annotations versus verbal discussion. Students who process differently or more slowly have time to think before they participate. And they have agencies. Students can choose what to ask, what to notice, and who to reply to. I love that. So I do want to address this issue with the phones on the equity piece. Hypothesis does work on phones. It will open in the browser window within the student's phone if you have set the assignment as open in a new window in your LMS. Now some LMSs require you to do that. Some do it automatically.  Now one thing I will be completely transparent and honest about is that if the phone is small as you can imagine you have the reading and the annotations. So that's a lot of information to put in a small space. Of course because it's a phone you can you know expand it with your fingers but it's a little bit harder to manipulate. I've worked with lots of people who use iPads with hypothesis and have no problem. The other issue is because it opens in a browser then whatever browser they're using needs to be a standard browser such as Safari or Chrome or whatever it is and it needs to be up to date. So that's the phone discussion there. I get that quite a bit because we have lots of students right now who are lacking devices and are accessing their work on their phones. Great comments in the chat. Philip thanks for contributing this.  Extroverts can sometimes take over in class. Yes, introverts need more ways to get their voices heard. I would agree I often in class have sat there in graduate and undergraduate classes afraid to say something because maybe it's a class where I don't feel 100 confident in all the time and if I had had the chance to annotate instead of speak it in front of my peers then my contribution at least gets in there and gets heard. Thanks Ann for coming. I like the varied and valid perspectives. Thank you Carol for that one and I like the idea about appreciate hearing ideas that they not thought about before. So we you know we're instructors and we're the experts in the room but our students can also learn quite a bit from each other and I think it gives that opportunity. And Erin had a question does anyone else limit the number of annotations per students per student excuse me Erin? So if anyone's able to comment on that that would be great. And Erin I think by limiting your your thinking of this idea of don't contribute more than two annotations. Yeah I actually um and Cecilia asked why limit. I wonder if the idea of limiting two is really to get students to think more um what sort I'm looking for to think yeah to focus on quality in that quantity and to to really consider the annotations they're creating. It does make me think Erin too like if you can identify those particular students then if you could reach out to those particular students and say you only get to create four annotations or whatever that looks like. Because there's you know not all students are going to contribute 15 annotations first it's like this subset of your class they're always the same ones. And Cecilia made a comment about providing a rubric instead of limiting participation that might work as well. And regarding breaking the class into groups through the LMS uh right now LMSs do not allow students to submit assignments using an external tool like Hypothesis within a small group. We have a workaround that Becky can link in the chat on how you can use Hypothesis with small groups. And coincidentally we have a webinar on Thursday on using Hypothesis with small groups in your courses. And you can find that webinar and register for it by checking out the partner workshops link in the slide deck. And that is when we are going to address the small groups. Thank you to everyone and Ben it's good to see you. All right I don't see more questions so I'm going to go ahead and sign off. Joe if you need anything let us know. Have a great day everyone.


Just so I'm doubly celebrating today. I am Vilda Veramayuga, commissioner of the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Today we are joined by our Mayor, Mayor Eric Adams. And also the executive director of the Workers Justice Project, Ligia Gualpa. And a founding member of Los Deliberistas Unidos, Gustavo Ache. Lots of workers behind us. We have our friends from 32BJ, council member, Go Brewer. Thank you so much for all the support. Now, I want to start today, oh, council member, Marjorie Velazquez. We have a tradition in my household, and that is that every Friday is movie night. So my kids really look forward to that. And that means we order. We order in. And so it's very special to us, something that we do every Friday. We really depend on all of the delivery workers who make us help us keep that tradition alive. It's a chance for us all to reconnect after a busy week. A moment that I cherish so much as a working parent of two rapidly grown kids. And it's all possible to delivery workers. At Bay's restaurant delivery workers serve our city in rain, snow and extreme heat. Only to earn less than minimum wage with no benefits. Throughout the pandemic, they provided warm meals directly to our doors, helping so many of us to stay safe and healthy inside our homes and providing a crucial lifeline that allowed so many of our beloved restaurants to stay open for business during a time of such uncertainty. Ensuring these workers earn a dignified pay is an issue of equity. Like all workers, delivery workers deserve fair pay for their labor and to be able to support themselves and their loved ones. This new minimum pay rate will ensure they earn a better day's pay while still allowing for flexibility for both apps and workers. When the rate is in full effect in 2025, these workers will make at least 1996 an hour guaranteeing New York City's more than 60,000 at Bay's restaurant delivery workers a dignified pay rate and establishing pay equity with other workers who are protected by the minimum wage. We will continue working with advocates and worker groups like Leah and LDU here with us today to conduct outreach to ensure that workers learn about the new pay rate and DCWP will monitor compliance by requiring apps to submit detailed reports to us. I am so proud that our city has fulfilled its promise to deliver greater financial stability to more than 60,000 workers and their families. I encourage all delivery workers to visit nyc.gov slash delivery apps or call 311 and say delivery worker to learn more about the new pay rate and if you believe your worker rights have been violated, I urge you to reach out to us to make a complaint. I'm going to share some words in Spanish. I'm going to share some words in Spanish. I'm going to share some words in Spanish. And with that, I am going to turn it over to Mayor Adams who has centered this administration among our unhelping working families in our city here. Thank you. Thanks so much, Commissioner. And I really wanted to encourage those who are part of the organizing and part of who have been on the ground doing this. I want to encourage you to keep a journal because this is an American narrative and it's an American story to come here and fight on behalf of what you believe is right and organizing groups and using your political power and strength. And many of you are going to go on from being deliveristas to open up chains of restaurants. You're going to go on to organizing other groups. You're going to go on to producing your own products and allowing those products to be sold. I think this is only the beginning and the commissioner is right to ensure that no one is in our city hiding in the shadows of not being paid the minimum wage and it's good for the economy because when the deliveristas are paid the right salary, they're going to recycle the dollars back into the communities. They're going to become a benefit to the city and not an inhibitor to the city. This is an exciting moment. It is something that we wanted to get right because New York City is setting the tone for across America. And I want to thank my council persons who are here for their support as well as Senator Schumer. He's in route now, but I want to thank him for the role that he has played on advocating on behalf and the commissioner has done an amazing job of balancing the continuation and expansion of restaurants in our community in our city and the employees who are there but also the other aspect of it. Those who are delivering food, those who I saw during the years of COVID, when people were able to shelter in place, the reason they were able to shelter in place is because these men and women were delivering food and services to them. We had two New Yorks, those who were able to stay home and those who created the environment so you were able to stay home and we owe them a debt of gratitude. They delivered for us, now we are delivering for them. It is the right thing to do and we are proud of it. Technology has transformed the way we take out and deliver. Taking New Yorkers from a drawer full of paper menus to an amazing range of different cuisines right on your phone, right on your smartphone and able to get that service delivered to your door. It has been great for restaurants, consumers and the tech companies. Today we're now saying it is good for those who are delivering the food as well. We're making sure that working people who power the sector are getting their fair share. There are the contract workers who have to cover lots of costs themselves paying for the bike or car and medical bills if they get sick or hurt and they deserve a raise just as we fought for raises and we continue to do so for our union members. We are fighting for raises for this union organizing body that is here. Effective July 12th, we are raising the minimum wage for our city's app-based restaurant delivery workers from an average of $7 an hour to at least $17.96 an hour. Significantly boosting the base pay rate for over 60,000 of the hardest-working New Yorkers out there.  The ones who bring you pizza in the snow and that thigh food you like in the rain. This new minimum pay rate will guarantee these workers their families can earn a living. They should not be delivering food to your household if they can't put food on the plate in their household. We are balancing out on both sides of the equation. The bottom line, our delivery workers have consistently delivered and we understand that. The rise of delivery apps and services has created a new kind of workforce and a new kind of workforce need new policies and protections from our city government. Supporting them is a core part of our working people's agenda. We say it over and over again, this is administration of a working people's agenda. I want to thank everyone who played a crucial role in this initiative, and particularly the last delivery service, UNINDOS, for what you have done and have been consistent in this area, and all who has delivered items for us 24-7, kept this city a city that never sleeps because our delivery services are on our streets delivering the food to us. As a former paperboy that delivered papers to the homes of countless number of people when the Long Island press was there, I lived off those tips. That is not the day that we are living in now. People must live off of a base salary and I encourage everyone who's listening to this, don't forget the tip. We like the tips as well. Congratulations to all. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And now I'd like to introduce two people who fought so hard to get just a just pay rate for delivery workers. Ligia Gualpa, Executive Director of the Worker's Justice Project, and Gustavo Ache of Los Deliberistas Unidos. Thank you, Mayor Adams and Commissioner Mayuga for welcoming us. So good afternoon, everybody. My name is Ligia Gualpa. I'm the Executive Director of the Worker's Justice Project, which organizes Los Deliberistas Unidos in 2020. And I'm proud to be here today. And today marks a historic moment in our city's history. We can finally say that New York City's more than 60,000 app delivery workers who are essential to our city will soon be guaranteed a minimum pay. New York City is delivering justice for Deliberistas. This victory would have not been possible without so many people in this room and as well as countless others. And I want to acknowledge a few of them. And first, I want to say thank you to Mayor Adams and also his administration for setting the minimum pay rate and for recognizing the contributions of delivery workers. And a special thank you to Deputy Mayor Maria Torres Espringer and our Commissioner Mayuga. And I also want to say thank you to Brett Lander, who first championed this minimum pay as a City Council member. And I want to say thank you also who we're going to see in soon, our Senator Schumer, who has been our ally, our partner, our biggest supporter since the beginning. And we're grateful to you both, as well as our city and state elector officials for their endless support and their commitment not only to Deliberistas, but to every worker in our city. And also thank you to New Yorkers, who uses delivery apps and demanded this very moment in our history. And unfortunately, apps will try to scare customers by claiming that today's announcement will force to raise prices. They will say that $19.96 cents per hour is too extreme. But what they won't tell you is that they force Deliberistas or delivery workers to spend hundreds of dollars a month just so they can do this work. The apps won't tell you that Deliberistas don't receive any benefits and they're required to spend their hard earned money on expenses, putting the build for their equipment like e-bikes were very expensive, health insurance, protect the gear, cell phone plans, and so much more. And last, I also want to say thank you to every courageous Deliberista who's part of Los Deliberistas Unidos and who has been critical to our cities. And this movement started three years ago when Gustavo Orche, who's a founding member also of Workers Justice Project, began responding to Deliberistas by connecting them with resources, cash relief, most importantly a safe space to organize through the workers justice during the pandemic. After countless street meetings, conversations during the pandemic, and after having conversations about the hard work, the poverty pay, unsafe working conditions they were facing during the pandemic Deliberistas from all over our city from the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens came together to organize and fight for better working conditions. A group chat that was actually created during the pandemic as Los Deliberistas Unidos as emergency response and within months that chat grew into one of the largest movement of gig workers that this country has ever seen. And today's announcement serves as a reminder not only to the power of organizing but the power of workers everywhere in our city, in our country. Despite what the app companies are claiming, this first of its kind minimum pay rate will uplift working and immigrant families, ensure that workers who keep New Yorkers fed can are able to keep also their families fed too. The Workers Justice Project is honored to be part of this historic moment. We look forward to counting with our, we look forward to count continuing our strong partnership with Mayor Adams, his administration, city council, Senator Schumer to ensure that every worker in our city is protected, is safe, is treated with dignity and respect that they deserve. Thank you. So, good afternoon. My name is Gustavo Akche and I'm the founder of Los Deliberistas Unidos and representing 60,000 up-delivery workers who leave their homes with the hope to provide a better life to their families. To get to this moment, we fought a lot and many companies have become billionaires from our hard work and our labor. This fight started with a vision to bring dignity and better working conditions to every worker in our city. And I want to say a special thank you to every New Yorker for their generous tips. But now we can say we're not going to only rely on the tips but actually on a minimum pay for our labor. Para llegar este día hemos sufrido, estamos acá contentos, pero en los últimos meses hemos sido víctimas de ataques anti-sindicalistas y de desinformación, pero eso no nos hizo rendir, estamos acá victoriosos. So, to get to this moment, we have suffered a lot, especially being victims of union-busting type of tactics, but nothing has stopped us to get us to this moment.  So, in one moment of my time, I didn't want to keep organizing, but until 2020 while I was working as a delivery worker, I got into an accident and I called the company to report my accident and what the company really cared more was if the food was okay. Me hace sentir afortunado de ser una de las personas que ha luchado por mejor vida y para que los trabajadores de reparto sean tratados con dignidad y gracias al alcalde, Eric Adams, a la comisionada también, a senador Schumer, que siempre han estado con nosotros y a todos los consejales acá presente, a Teddy to V.A. y hay un sin fin más de organizaciones y aliados que siempre nos han apoyado de una y otra manera y eso me hace sentir orgulloso de que no estoy solo, hay mucha gente que nos apoya y nos sigue respaldando día a día y esta lucha continúa. Accident inspire me to keep organizing and fighting. I'm a person that likes and will never stop fighting and I'm proud to to be here but also to say thank you to our mayor Eric Adams, our commissioner Mayuga and every city council member that has stood behind us and also allies, organizations that has been part of and has kept us supporting and thank you for having our back. And I forgot to mention that Gustavo also thinks Senator Schumer who has been our ally and our supporter in this fight and he just wanted to remind them important moment when he saw Eric Adams at one event in upstate Albany just to say hi and just like his quote to get stuff done he said to me I will not disappoint you I promise you and yes we got to this moment I strongly believe you mayor. And now I would love to introduce a fierce advocate for delivery workers all working people not only in New York City but across the nation. Senator Schumer. Well thank you I just got back from the parade we had a great time you know what I said throughout the parade. Anyway it's great to be here today with some of my favorite people in all of New York City and that's the Deliveristas. As you know I've worked with the Deliveristas on so many issues over the past years I'm deeply moved by their passion and by their ability. It's rare you have an organization that is both passionate but really smart about how to get things done but the Deliveristas combine both and we're celebrating one more large victory in that fight the first minimum pay standard for tens of thousands of delivery workers across New York City. We're here today for a couple of reasons first and foremost is just the tireless organizing of the workers. I've been with them from the beginning when no one would recognize them and they never gave up. They're beautiful people they care they're the American dream hardworking people didn't come here with much but they worked so hard to just try and build a little bit of a better life for themselves and for their families and I was I rode the bike with some of them I went on a few Deliverista routes let me tell you it's not so easy full of cars darting in and out and so much else going on and of course the order the you know the big companies they don't care if they're telling them to go three miles and get there in 20 minutes it's really a tough job but they did a great job and they never gave up they always had that faith the movement that they put together is one of the most exciting and extraordinary examples of new labor organizing anywhere in the country because we have to organize people who have never been organized before and it's very important to do that and this was one of those instances and this the Deliveristas formed unity across many languages and culture and now there's hope on the streets hope on the streets because of what they have done I want to thank Lidia would you go there you are yes and the workers justice project Gustavo and Manny Ramirez my buddy and all of the workers across the city second is Mayor Adams his whole team and the great folks at DCWP this is a mayor who's committed to working people he knows what it's like he struggled in his life and so he has an innate feel for when people struggle but he also has some power to get something done about it and he doesn't shy away from using that power he's lived their struggles he grew up in a family and community that knew like mine we knew how much a little extra money meant it's not nothing when you don't have much it's a lot some people might say this isn't that much live the life and then say it's not much and so um uh he knows in his heart the mayor does the joy and relief that the thousands of families from Sunset Park to Jackson Heights to everywhere in between are having I've been proud to be a part of this my team and Adams team work closely together for months and it's been great collaborating with him and his team to make this a reality he has led the charge and I have his back he is truly the get stuff done mayor third I want to thank many lawmakers who are here I see Marjorie I see uh Carlina just came in Gail who's always here uh did I miss any of the elected officials I don't think so okay well all right and thank them for being here because they've been great allies in the council to make this happen so here we have it the combination of first the passion and strength and never say die um of uh emotions of the delivered east does second a great mayor who cares and third other elected officials who stood in so congratulations see se play day thank you so much uh senator just fighting on behalf from washington for us just continue to deliver talk about delivering you just continue to deliver for the city of new york and the state of new york can we do a few um on topic questions and for us as in the so the rule goes into effect July 12th and part of the rule has requirements for the applications to submit records regularly to our agency that's how we are going to be checking on compliance and certainly all of the delivery workers they are going to let us know as well if there's any concerns anything they're observing so that we can be also taking action and and the as any other uh protections that are in place if someone is not receiving their minimum pay those those are still in place here and so uh there will clearly be a way to report that you have an amazing organizing team here if they receive complaints uh we have the human rights agency as well so the same processes as any work in the city that's not receiving their pay that avenue is open for this body of workers also you should stay up the the rule offers options there's two options the apps can play pay by hour for all of the trip time or they can also pay for connected time which will be a per minute time it will start at about 50 cents and it will go up to at least 55 cents yeah i think that that is really an alignment with what the senator has stated stated that the this new industry i mean this is a new industry that's materializing before our eyes here in new york city um there are several items that we have been working on together of the conversion of news stands which is a real win we're pushing forward of the batteries we know the e-bikes batteries have created a real challenge particularly of those batteries that don't pass proper certification and so we are going to do what we can do under government to end but we also in communications with the delivery app company to play app companies to play a role as well we want we want the tools that are being used to be safe uh and we don't want unsafe equipment so we're still in negotiation conversations but we're taking our steps as well okay thank you congratulations everybody


Stampers welcome to another week of watch a weekly Wednesday. I'm Aubrey part of the Stampin' Jill creative team And today I'm excited to share with you the part 2 of our Stampin' Blends marbling technique videos on our last video part 1 I showed you how to make a card using the Stampin' Blends and alcohol on vellum cardstock to make this really fun marbling technique and I showed you a few other cards using that Today I want to show you just a little bit of a stepped-up version of this This is kind of the beginning level of the marbling technique. It's pretty simple You don't have to have a lot of control with the ink that you're running in the video today I want to show you how to control it a little bit more So once you've done this technique and you've gotten the hang of it then you can move on to the next step so in the last video I showed you this card and These kind of little rosettes that you can make on a card and how to do that I want to show you this in this video, but I first want to start with a different card So we're going to use some different colors and you can see on this card I'm gonna make a little line right across the card just like this I'm still using vellum cardstock. This cardstock is really great for this technique I'll tell you all the different things you'll need to create this card You'll need vellum cardstock. You'll need alcohol just regular rubbing alcohol You will want a stamp and spritzer This we actually won't be using it to spritz the card.  Those are super handy to have nearby and You'll want whatever colors of alcohol blends you want to use So I'm using Stampin' Up Stampin' Blends and I'm using let me tell you dark poppy parade dark sauceron dark Bermuda Bay light polished pink and Dark mimp macaron on this card So I have kind of a lot of colors and you can see on my vellum cardstock I have already gone and colored all the way up the colors that I want to be on my cardstock Just like the last video that I did I colored all over this one We're just gonna control that color and where it's gonna go a little bit easier on this card So you can see I have already started down here in the corner to One by one Make my colors kind of run together and move So I want to just show you how to do that and control it a little bit easier So we're going to start right here with this mimp macaron color. I haven't done that one yet Oh one other thing you need. I'm so sorry a Heat tool this will just help to make your Your life run a little bit easier when you're doing this so we're going to just take our Alcohol that's in our stamp and spritzer and instead of spritzing it like I said you're gonna twist off that cap and you're just going to kind of dip it and collect some of that alcohol and then just Dab it dab it Right on to the color That you want to be working with so I want it to be right on that mimp macaron Now that color is gonna start to run a little bit and it might start to run into the other colors That's okay with me because the marbling technique kind of wends itself to that so what makes the Marbling technique so cool is That as this alcohol dries it leaves kind of these Rings in it. You can see that kind of in this poppy parade color. It kind of leaves those rings as it dries So as this dries I'm gonna start by not using my heat tool and just kind of letting it Kind of pull within the color and and make those little rings around the edges And then when it's kind of made those ridges I'll come in with my heat tool and turn it on the low setting and just kind of help it to dry the rest of The way and you'll see that slowly it will just start to make that marbled look It's just a little bit more controlled there Okay, so let's do the same thing again with our Bermuda Bay here We'll just dab it in there get a little bit of ink or a little bit of alcohol And just put it right on top of the ink that we want to work with and then just kind of move it around until it picks up all of the Ink from the stamp and blends just like that like I said this so this is a little bit more controlled It also is going to take you a little bit longer than just using the heat tool all and Pushing around the ink with that so you can kind of turn it on I like to start from far away and come closer, and it'll kind of push the ink around But you can see it starting to kind of marble Look Just like that. Okay, and then move on to your next color. We'll do this Pink our light polished pink color And just kind of do the same thing let it move around so essentially you're just making multiple little pulled sections of the alcohol Within your different colors Okay, and you can see on this one it pulled a little bit of that Bermuda Bay and brought it into the polished pink, but it just kind of makes a little purple color there And it just adds to it. I just I love it. I kind of love that color So I'll I'll finish this up, but let me show you the finished card here You can see So I just put a piece of white cardstock right behind that and then added some Gems and a thank you I stamped that and stays on black on that vellum and You have kind of a one of those geode looking cards super simple and It takes a little bit longer than the part one of the marbling technique, but What a cool effect Okay, so once you kind of can get that idea down where you're kind of controlling that Pull of alcohol and ink a little bit better Then you can move on to the next part which is this card and making kind of these little rosettes now this takes Time to get used to but I do want to show you Some different tips and techniques you can do to make the little rosettes It's the same idea as we did on this card where you're going to have the Individual places of ink and pull that ink all in one spot so you can see here I've done one and finished it on This one I've done one layer of the ink and alcohol and this one I haven't finished or I haven't even started so I want to start here and show you Kind of from start to finish what we're gonna do so on this one. You're I've just colored The stamp and blends this is the dark polished pink color and you're just gonna color a little Circle circular area there of the polished pink blends Just like that and on this one. I'm going to actually pour the alcohol when I'm starting this right from my alcohol Bottle because I'm gonna use a little bit more than what I can get from my spritzer So this is always a scary part. You're trying to control how much you're gonna get there I could pour it just from my spritzer bottle, too, but it really doesn't make a difference But I just want a good amount. We'll start with that and see if I can get what I need from there So we're just going to kind of like before we're gonna let that alcohol just run And try to get it to I'm gonna grab just a little bit more Okay, we're gonna let that alcohol kind of run and grab all of that ink That I want and you can see once it starts to dry and it makes that ridge it Sometimes has a hard time getting over The ridge that it makes and you can use a paper towel and kind of Create the edging that you want there. Maybe just pour a little bit more in. Okay So I'm gonna take that alcohol and just let it flow to the edges Just like that and then I kind you have to be kind of patient. I'm gonna just let it kind of Dry for a second You can always come in with your heat tool the heat tool will make it dry even faster So it really just depends on The look you're going for if I bring my heat tool in again stay far away and come in slowly You don't want it to push your ink as much as you just want to help those edges to dry Okay okay So you can see I have Kind of just one of a little bit one of these pools like what are on this card Okay, now to make the rosette. I want Even more of those pools just all stacked on top of each other. Does that make sense? I hope so so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pour a little bit more alcohol each time But I'm not going to let it get to the edge of my circle I'm gonna and this is always the part that it's like oh I might mess up because I might get too much alcohol So we hope and pray that doesn't happen Like that. I'm gonna dab up as much as that as I can get Because I did way more alcohol that I meant to do Okay, we'll see if I can salvage this because the thing is if the alcohol touches it It's going to Affect any of that ink that it touches. Okay, so pretty much what I have now is I'm starting all the way over So I'm gonna just dry this and this is gonna be my new circle of Once I get that dry okay, so as You can see it you can't control it It really is it takes such a practiced hand and it takes so much time and it You can mess it completely up, but if you are patient I'm gonna add a little bit more ink in here Just in the center if you are patient with yourself. I promise you can create a beautiful rosette So let's try again. I'm gonna add just a hopefully just a little bit of alcohol Just a drop and we're gonna try that again So on this one my hope is not to get all the way out to the edges Because I want those edges to be like the edge of my flower Does that make sense? So with this ink in here, I'm hoping to make another ridge and you can see that forming All along there and I have a good amount of ink in here now So I may even be able to get two ridges Out of this So if I let it dry again We might get another ridge Okay, so you can see I got a few ridges out of that actually here, which looks really cool So now we're gonna go back in with a little bit more alcohol in the center and just do it again and push it out to the edges at And then you can see I have another ridge forming Come in with my heat Just like that Okay now that I'm dealing with a smaller place here in the center I'm gonna go back to using the little thing when in my spritzer so that I can control the amount of alcohol That I'm getting a little bit easier Okay, so I'm gonna add just a little more ink with my stamp and blend just in the center because I want to have plenty of ink to To continue having that really good pink pigment all the way into the center of my flower So now I'm just gonna dab a little bit of alcohol using my spritzer and I can control that just a little bit better And then do the same Keep just making those ridges all the way through Okay, I'm gonna add just a touch more ink there in the middle Try to just get that center Don't want too much alcohol Maybe just a little bit more Okay, I'm pretty happy with that So you can see that kind of rosette just all stacked right on top of each other so Like I said, it takes a lot of patience and some time, but it can really make a really really cool look So let me bring in the card again You can see the different Rosettes that I've made here Super duper fun I do want to show you one more stepped up version I decided I'm gonna make a part three of our stamp and blends marbling technique I made this look so I made a rosette And then I added some of our gilded leafing along with it. So you get even more of that Gold geo looking um rosette So in our part three watch for that to come the next few weeks I'm going to show you how to add in Some gilded leafing on your rosette to give it a really cool Dynamic look so watch for that If you have any questions on how to do it or if you need any tips or anything Please reach out to us at su demonstrator at gmail.com Or you can always follow us on instagram at stamping jill. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you next week for another watch at weekly wednesday
