That's the Kokomo song, eh? Let's look at, for instance, the song you are just listening to the Kokomo song, Let's Beautiful the song again Netsamu Inatsamu OK, we'll come to the production aspect So, how do you come up with the right budget that cuts across for you and the producer? Okay. For me and the producer, it's more easier because we already discussed how much he's going to pay him. And what challenging is only for the ground there, the villagers, but it's not much challenging since it's by my community. So, you'll just come with roughly, okay, we are going to use this and mostly if you know the prices of some things like the food there, we have to do the traditional food, blah blah blah, yeah, something like that. What do you look out for when it comes to you working with maybe an audio producer or video producer? What are a couple of things that you look out for before you start working with them? Okay, I first see the quality, like the video, the quality of the video, the colouring, if I'm a filter, you know, I'm very concerned about the colouring, you know, the way something looks, I mean, how it attracts me. So, I look the quality and I have another song like which one of them, Sissemi, I didn't like the quality because I did it with another... A different producer? Yeah, so I didn't like the quality because I think the colouring wasn't so perfect. So, I look on videos, I look mostly on the quality and on audio, I've been with the same producer for almost all of my songs. Okay. Yeah, and okay, I think how he dies, the beats, wherever, and most of the time I'm satisfied with it, maybe that's why I haven't tried another producer. Ah, what are a couple of financial lessons that you've learned or through investing in this, in the music industry? Okay, financial lessons. Okay, it's difficult because sometimes you might spend and not expect what you get. But it's a normal life because it doesn't have to, all kind of businesses they go and ups and downs, so you just pick up from where you are and you just try something else, yeah. What are a couple of achievements looking back that you're actually proud of, that you were embarked in this journey? On the music? Yes. Okay, from partly I've been growing in my music as in music kind, I don't mean in the financial part, so I've been growing like every song that I produce it comes up differently and maybe it always at least the previous one, so I feel a bit proud out of it and also I've got some positive comments. Comments from people and mostly encouragement, that's probably one proud thing at least I feel about and I believe I'll be in a year or in a few years. Exactly, so what does the future look like, speaking about actually being better and everything, so what does the future for Rakeha look like? Okay, as long as what you do, it's content and it makes you happy, that's a bright future, that's what I can say, so if something makes you happy you should just go for it. Looking at your profile on your social accounts, you always release projects after projects, any new projects coming up? Yeah. Can you mention the time from when you release a year? Next month. This month okay? Next. This or next month? Next month. Next month? Yeah. Okay, so where can guys back at home just keep tabs with you and make sure that they check out your projects? On Instagram they can look Pukamo Prinsense and on Facebook into Rakeha. Alright, thank you very much Rakeha for getting time to be with us. Thank you. Alright, so guys back at home make sure you don't have that doubt, be coming up, sampling a couple of your comments on the question of the day which is, have you ever been conned and make sure you send in your comments. Let's keep that composition going at Y254 channel so you can find us across all our social media handles. At michelaashira so you can find me across all my social and make sure you don't have that doubt, be right back.


So, now prillums is almost 2-3 days down the line and aspirants will be keenly preparing. So, what are your last minute tips for those aspirants who are taking the 20-21 prillums? As I said earlier, don't accept your defeat before you give the exam. I always say to my mentees, you just fight it, then you accept it.  So, that's the first and foremost thing. We are, we face prillums with fear of failure. That's the first thing we have to change. Anyway, it is 100 questions, fresh new questions, 2 hours. So, we have to be ready for it. Readying, making up our mind for facing one of the most toughest exam in the world. We have tension, but we have to accept there is tension. Because it's a universal phenomenon. So, accepting our opponent or accepting what it is waiting for is the first and foremost thing. Second thing is, you have to stop reading things in the day before the prillums. You know, by the night you have to close the books. Tomorrow morning or the day after the prillums, you have to go with a fresh mind. You don't want to hurry through all the notes you studied just before the exam. That is very counterproductive, I think. It doesn't matter actually. So, you have to wake up by 7 o'clock, you have to have the breakfast, drink a lot of water, go to the exam hall with a positive mind and just be in the exam hall for half an hour.  Fine, okay, I am going to give the exam. So, by 9.15, your tension will be over. This I tried and it was very fruitful for me. Third thing is, the moment you get the question paper, then stop overthinking something else. You have to be, you and your question paper, nothing else. You have to read the questions carefully. You have to read the options carefully. Earlier I said comparing the answer with the question and find the right answer. Done. Then you would quickly move out to the next question. Please don't sit with one question because that won't deal with anything. You first read, then read the option, go to the question again, again you read out. Two times read is enough. If your answer is not coming, leave it and move to the next. Otherwise you have to quickly, quickly go through the question paper. I had a friend who used to do only 60 questions because by two hours she didn't even read the rest of 40 questions. That's a huge mistake we are doing. Sometimes the questions we know will be the other questions. So there is no concrete rule that you have to do the first question, then move to the next. There is no rule like that. Maybe the first 10 questions might be from art and culture which would be extremely difficult. So maybe the last 30 questions would be very easy. You can do question paper from anywhere. Sometimes I used to start from 100. I used to come from behind. Sometimes I start from 50, 50 to 100, then 50 to 1. I used to do a lot of things because I am not stuck with a certain idea that I have to do from 1 to 100 and all. There is no rule like that. Another important thing is there are clues as we discussed earlier. There are clues inside the question paper. So if you consciously go and find out the clues, maybe they won't be there. But there are clues in question paper and you have to be prepared for it. And please don't mark the answer in question paper and then blackening it. Another friend did that. She used to mark every answer in the question paper thinking that she will blacken it after doing the 100 questions. It is the biggest mistake we are doing. So whenever you are sure about an answer A, B, C or D, you quickly mark it. Because we may not have the luxury to come back and again blacken it. And one another thing is like most of the times aspirants expect current affair question, geography question, history, environment. We studied it in that way. So we expect that in the question paper also we will be having question from history. We will be having question from modern India or something like that. No, there is nothing like that. Sometimes UPSC may mix geography and environment. Sometimes current affairs and science and technology. Sometimes ancient and art and culture. It will be mixture. So we can't compartmentalize questions into quality, economy, geography, etc. So we should be very ready for mixture of questions. You might be remembering right. There was in 2018 I think economy and environment they clubbed it together. And they asked 2017 or 2018. Three questions, three to four questions they clubbed economics and environment. So that was like really startling. But we should be ready for it. As in the Norse mythology there was a King Odin. King Odin used to advise King Thor that a wise king should be always ready for a war. Should not seek war but always ready for it. So UPSC aspirants should be always ready for the unexpected. Be prepared for the worst. Just one more point I want to ask is about seasat. You failed 2019 seasat. You bounced back and cleared 2020 seasat. 2020 seasat was difficult as compared to 2019. Still you cleared it with a good margin. So you told you took classes from Shankar. So what is your advice to those aspirants who find seasat as a difficult paper? A seasat is a particular paper where we can choose the questions. For example, as a person I am not comfortable with mathematics. I understood my weakness because maths is my difficult area. So rather than concentrating more on maths, I should concentrate more on comprehension which is my strong area and reasoning. Comprehension is a strong area for me because I used to read newspaper. So reading an article, comprehending it made me a better person to read comprehension questions. I concentrated like I made a strategy for seasat that in the first one hour I will do maximum comprehension questions.  So I did that and after the next one hour I will do reasoning and maths which is comfortable for me. For example, cube, average, age questions which are easier for me. But for some other aspirants I have a friend, his comfortable area was mathematics. So what he does is he first went through all the maths because that is his strong area. So seasat is all about finding your strength and weakness. If you are strong in reasoning, do reasoning questions first. If you are good in English comprehension, do it first. So anyway you have to do maximum 40 questions. That only we can do I think. 42, I think 50 questions max. That is the thing we can do in seasat. So find your strong areas. Anyhow all the best, very best to those aspirants who are taking problems.


On February 17, 2021, St. Lucia, through the Ministry of Health and Wellness, launched the National COVID-19 Vaccination Campaign. This campaign is now in its sixth week of implementation, and as of Monday, March 29, 2021, a total of 22,011 individuals have received the first of two doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine. Amongst these individuals are health sector professionals, officials within national security, border protection, tourism sectors, as well as various staff within line ministries. Vaccines have also been received by our senior citizens, people living with mobility challenges, and individuals living with lifelong chronic illnesses, all of whom are at particularly high risk for the severe COVID-19 illness, if infected by the virus. This significant response to the national campaign has resulted in our initial stock of 23,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines being augmented by St. Vincent and the Grenadines, which loaned us an additional 5,000 doses to allow for the completion of our phase one of our national vaccine campaign. Early in April 2021, St. Lucia expects the first shipment of 24,000 doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine from the COVAX facility. These doses shall be used to commence phase two of the campaign and to administer the first batch of second doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Initially, St. Lucia had decided on a six-week interval for receiving the second vaccine dose. However, the World Health Organization, in its last release on March 16, 2021, noted that a wider second dose interval of 8 to 12 weeks is recommended. This revision was done as it has been proven that this wider window increases the effectiveness of the vaccine as it provides increased protection from the virus to individuals who are vaccinated within this updated schedule. Considering this update, the Ministry of Health took the decision to reschedule the second dose appointment to eight weeks for people who were initially given the six-week appointment after the first dose. The Ministry of Health will be informing these individuals of the new date of the second COVID-19 vaccine dose by way of a phone call or through the management of their organizations. Like any other vaccine or medication, there are common side effects associated with these products which some people may experience. For the COVID-19 vaccine, these side effects are generally mild to moderate. When they do occur, they tend to last about 24 to 48 hours after receiving the vaccine. Common reported side effects include tenderness, pain, warmth, and or swelling at the injection site, fever, chills, fatigue, headache, nausea, muscle ache, and body pains. There have been few reports of rash, bleeding, dizziness, sweating, and abdominal pains. The Ministry of Health is encouraging people who experience side effects associated with the vaccine to report this to the healthcare provider. This is part of the monitoring and evaluation process of the COVID-19 vaccination program. To date, there is no evidence of death caused by Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine globally, nor in St. Lucia by the Ministry of Health. The vaccine has been manufactured in keeping with the strictest safety requirements from the stage of manufacturing to the administering of the vaccine to individuals and the monitoring which follows vaccination. The COVID-19 vaccine is safe, it is free, and is being made accessible to all over the age of 18 years. The Ministry of Health will be providing further updates on the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the coming week.


Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media, and today we will show you how to open the Acer Predator Helios 18 PH 1872. If you want to open this huge, powerful device, you have to unscrew 14 Torx head screws. Then, lift the backside by carefully raising it while holding tightly the two plastic exhausts. Don't apply too much force because you can break the plate close to the Ethernet connector, just use a thin plastic tool to pop the left, the bottom, and the areas around the LAN port. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. The battery isn't secured to the chassis with screws, because there is a dedicated socket for it on the inside of the bottom panel that keeps the unit in place. The battery is a 90 watt hour model. To remove it, unplug the connector from the motherboard and lift it away from the base. The capacity is enough for 4 hours and 46 minutes of web browsing or 4 hours and 33 minutes of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the Balanced preset in the Windows Power and Battery menu and select the Balanced and Optimus modes in the Acer NitroSense app. You get two Sodims that fit up to 32GB of DDR5, 5600MHz memory in dual-channel mode. There is a dedicated thermal pad for each RAM module. In terms of storage, you can rely on two M.2 slots for 2280 Gen4 SSDs. Our machine has a duo of 1TB NVMe drives that operate in RAID 0 mode. The benchmark results are very good. The sizable cooling has two aeroblade 3D fans. It also sports a pair of heat pipes shared between the CPU and the GPU. We can see an additional pipe for the processor and two more solely dedicated to the graphics card. The system is also complemented by four heat sinks and two huge metal plates. Acer has pre-applied liquid metal on the CPU chip. The cooling system here boasts rectangular vector heat pipes with wider contact surfaces for better heat transfer.


So here's a new development board here with a TI processor. So hello, so who are you? I'm Bill Mills. I Do Linux strategy for TI so we're pretty excited about the Beagle X-15 This Beagle board is back to sort of the original concept of being a high-performance Beagle development board Beagle bone is very successful and is not being replaced and it's more aimed at device IO and makers but This is back to the original concept and one of the things I'm excited about about Beagle X-15 is the true heterogeneous processing. So we have two a-15 processors multiple M4 processors and two C66 DSPs so What we want to use the Beagle X-15 for is to find a way to Make those other cores very accessible to the Linux programmer and make it very easy for them to use those So this is a heterogeneous Computing Development board also right right and you know if you're not interested in those you two a-15s is nothing to So what do you do? So who are you? So I'm Pranit. I work in TI Android Automotive software team and So we are lucky to get the Beagle X-15 to play with it very early in the last few months We tried to get bring up Android lollipop with latest LTS kernel 3.14 based and Couple of minutes probably we can show a quick demo on that one Yeah, I mean you can so we are pretty excited to use this especially for on a more broad market and Android automotive strategy and to we just want developers to start playing with it and provide Interesting use cases around it and see whether how it gets the community. This is the Android development board for Android Automotive so this is the new big push for the car and the TI is this is a chip for that, right? This is one of the reference boards we use it for a broader strategy for TI and Automotive some of the customers will also will be willing to play with it apart from our full reference design platform So can you show some of the ports so what do we have here? There's the HDMI so it should have a HDMI and As you can see the serial is through the FTDI 2 3L connection and we have USB These are dual Ethernet ports dual Ethernet. Yeah, so what do you do with dual Ethernet? So You can have two two it's two the same two Two Ethernet connections like Ethernet zero and Ethernet one can run at the same time We have some USB Ports like as you can see there are three USB connections and like you know, we can run Like in USB mass storage mode and like connect one through mouse Those are some of the interesting use cases, especially Like Android like you know you as you can see there is the bare metal big LEDs 15 platform There is no real display here. So we use HDMI and Browse through the I mean for navigation purpose we connect USB mouse and It works perfectly fine. So we hear the linear connect and so This and the beagle bone and the beagle boards and the panda boards and all that have been really big successes, right? built really like I guess some of the most successful development boards No, yeah, we're really proud of the the legacy that the beagle has in in Spearheading this open hardware movement. That's really catching on all right, so This is going to be a very good price Yeah, so the price isn't publicly announced yet. I'm not sure it's actually set, but it's expected to be under $200 So affordable Access to this Cortex a-15 development platform. So so hello, so who are you? I'm Gregorius Trishko. I'm working for Leonardo mobile group as I knew from texas instruments and Now I'm working on Some management features For this board and also trying to optimize and really bedtime using Suspended disk and hibernation features. So what kind of stuff are you doing right now? Right now this is connected is a boot lock of this board. I can turn it on if you wish. Yeah So does it boot what works This is right now on 3.14.19 and This is the same baseline used across Multiple business units and the core development teams in Ki. So we have Android booting up. Yeah, Android booting and as you can see Some Like fancy boot animation we created. Is that a CI boot? No It's just we are just playing with it as as I was telling you earlier We just started playing with it like since one to two weeks back and probably a more cleaner boot animation will come later But no, this is great. You shouldn't that's fine So So then there we have Android. Is it the 5.0? What is this? Yeah, this is 5.0.1 Rc7 R7 So you have lollipop. Yeah, this is smooth. Yeah The use case what Gregory will be able to tell a little more. We are trying to use Android hibernation see whether we can do suspend to disk and Show whether the boot time actually improves and that's one of the experimentation project what Gregory is helping through LMG. In a car. It could be cool to have a fast boot, right? Yeah, how fast can it go? How long can you think you think you can get it? Because it's the development is just started so now we have using hibernation. I've got a 40% Can you get it down to three seconds? So we in the past we have seen using this feature Getting to around five to six seconds boot time And that is running full Android stack without playing with Like, you know removing the debug flags and all those so so that's because it suspends the disk it's suspend to disk and running the internal embedded MMC at the highest possible throughput and Ensuring all the peripherals are running at the highest possible throughput. So But with the help of Lenaro, we want to see the solution going to upstream that's So so what are all the things that are happening with the TI Linux at the narrow and this board and so You're working on many different things, right? Yeah, so I mean these guys are working with Android You know when Beagle X 15 ships it will come with Debian as Beagle bone black does today So we work on multiple fronts. We work with Android we work with Standard Linux and we're Looking to advance the Wayland and Weston Graphics stack For the X 15 and seeing if we can use Debian to make that a little bit more standard So, so what's the GPU here? It's it's an imagination Where we are five five forty four One core running Alright, so what kind of other optimizations you can be working on in the weeks to come? So there's fast a boot. Are you doing other or some other things? No, first of all because this is a new board. It's Still has some issues Related to the kernel and Android. It's just like a wake-up time of this board So first of all, all these issues need to be solved to continue future optimization And probably you will continue to work in on being related to features and this hibernation trying to optimize it a little more than Yeah So what's happening now the system is stored is said effects System is stored is the system just created a sub image and now this image is stored on disk There are some issues, but it's This is they're going to be sold just in kind of for next So now we need to save it and we can just to power Devices powered off So now we just Know the term is it about 18 20 seconds well System from on. Oh, yes, that is cool


Okay, hi Thank you for joining to my session today Offloading calculations from WordPress onto other services such as AWS and Google. So this is my title My name is Shin I create websites for my clients Clients are based in Japan and in Thailand. I used to live in Bangkok for two and a half year And now I'm living on a Japanese small island with 150 people so This is me working in Bangkok and This is the island I live now And This is my daughter cleaning the house Yeah, so This is my life and my life is totally backed up by WordPress the software and its community. I Try giving back to the community through translation and theme review and running events so events include meetups in Thailand Yeah, and on my island This is really small like five people. This was like a translation day and then This is the big one. Welcome Tokyo 2012 with 1400 people Yeah, so that's me and To the point High traffic websites and spiky access. You suddenly get a lot of access and WordPress So it's it's a bit tough sometimes when you get a lot of traffic. Maybe 10 people Come to your website within like 0.1 second then your WordPress might not work right so WordPress is a great tool to build websites and sub contents but when the website really grow then you need to think more and To deliver the content to the all the audience like all the time without failing So of course there are a lot of things you can do to like speed up your website or to to make it light But today I want to focus on Non-wall-press things. So these are the things you can do within wall press and There are things you can do outside and we I want to focus on like outside of the world press or PHP or the server so the base basic idea is Not letting like Don't let the world press do what what press is not good at or what press is not made for So these are things to offload Searching sorting showing related posts or related products recommending contents based on users preference and Logging lots of data such as like access log or security log or Bucking up itself. Yeah So when your website needs to really scale These things can be done inside WordPress, but when it scales you need to scale your website then you need to Do these things outside of WordPress So let's look at this model This describes how usual plugins work Plugins are included inside one big process the white one So when wall press is loaded Plugins hook into wall press right and then what it works as a one big process This is the like off-loading model So let's look at the pop-up boxes in the middle So I wrote Connector plug-in so they are connector plugins and the work itself. It's done outside of the world press I wrote micro service So you connect the world press core and The micro services through API so this is the basic idea to when you want to offload something and This idea is not new. It's a it's a really like common and old idea. For example, Akismet So Akismet plug-in does a lot of things in also inside one press like they have the admin page They are admin menu this spam comments like they offer like mark spam buttons But the judgment the core function the judgment whether a comment is a spam or not It's done outside of world press. It's done at Akismet server like a server hosted by automatic so When you want to know this comment is good or not then you Send information IP address and stuff like that to the Akismet server. They collect the data They know if they are good or not and they Give you the feedback and then it says it's a smile so you can delete them right, so Here Akismet plug-in is working as a connector plug-in you connect your work press and something outside of work press and We can find more similar like plug-ins like connector plug-ins In for example security fields most of the security plug-ins offer services Which happen outside of one press Such as like a blocking bad access like a blocking should Happen outside right when it reaches your one press. It's like no use. So it needs to happen outside and Logging and so on Also some of the features in jetpack plug-in They are the same concept you send data or you ask someone to do something they do they give you the feedback Okay, so cases offloading ranking popular posts Okay, so we want to show the popular posts below article and The post needs to be like this top three most viewed posts within these seven days in a category JavaScript or anything like Singapore under Slash and slash path. I mean example.com slash en slash So you can do that with WordPress too But to achieve this only inside WordPress Basically the plug-in needs to log every access like this one this access this timestamp and Yeah, this URL or ID post ID or stuff like that. You every access adds one new role to your database So what happens? You get million access a day then like million rows rows rows and That's really bad for scalability So then who should do this? logging and calculation like which are the best within this like Criteria or like the conditions So we have another software. We I think everybody use here So that's Google analytics So Google analytics is made for that. So we need to use that data This is a plug-in by Horike Japanese guy This plug-in fetches data from Google analytics through its API Can you see this? So with three posts and within seven days and post type is post category is JavaScript and we need to filter them with the path So it's going to be written like this and then You give it give this array to SGA ranking get data then you get the data and the data come from a Google analytics and this plug-in always caches the result because you don't want to Ask every time maybe once an hour All right, then you are not logging. You are not calculating that sort of thing is done outside At Google analytics service Okay, next one offload such related posts So what we want to do is these are like example like the cases so we want to look up the full text of an article and look for a really related post so Yeah, or we need to look at the taxonomy times and post meta too and But we don't need to have the perfect match like we want to look for contents even someone misspelled and rate the post with frequency rate so The usual search List just list if it has the contents has the words you search and Maybe you want to search products in your e-commerce website You want to sort by price or you want to search by price range and then these kind of things are Really bad for your performance because for example the price In most cases prices are saved in like meta field maybe post meta And they are not indexed in my school So if you want to sort like top five then what it's going to do is okay Let's look at all the posts and which has the post type product And let's look up to the like meta table and then list everything and sort it You can imagine how slow it it's going to be so It's really difficult And This is a plugin for that elastic press it's written by 10 up and We have elastic commerce related items of those are how to get and he did okamoto and more and elastic commerce search form or WP simple elastic search So elastic search is a search server. It's a software It's open source project and you can store and pull data through restful API Interface so it's good for full text search or relevant result result or fuzzy matching not perfect matching and Inside world press you can use it for like sorting searching Especially like searching like metadata or meta You know taxonomies or terms or time meta and you you just put the data and you tell How you want the data back then it's really quick So maybe let's look at a demo So it's that demo website So here we have a A lot of products and then It says hi to low We go back to yeah default sorting It's a menu order then we want to Sort this by popularity Or rating or maybe the price high to low. Yeah so This calculation is not done inside world press. So it's asking To elastic search and then they give you back the answer you render the result so next caching so The easiest way to be happy with high traffic is caching and especially we like caching on CDNs So caching can be done inside like PHP you cash everything into your database you don't query but you just get Something from the day like get the HTML from the database. That's number one or you can Like offload that to server level like vanish or nginx proxy caching But it's still happening inside your server right so access comes to your server world press. Maybe it doesn't move But your server is working and if you cash your HTML like images Style sheets and scripts and also the HTML then Access doesn't reach to your server Then you don't need to work then you need you can keep it really cheap So the problem is how to control the cash So there's a plugin for that the C3 cloud front cache controller So we cash almost everything including that generated HTML. So before we were caching contents on nginx proxy caching server But after cloud front, it's a service inside AWS. It's a CDN service. It's a global one Then we found it's it's a lot easier to do there Yeah, so this is the plugin we use to control the cash on the CDN Cloud front did it delete Cached content from the CDN when you click delete button, of course Or when you publish something or you update your contents, then it just delete everything and Backups storage and more so we want to do outside of one plus these kind of things So this is a like I map this is a map which maps like what is done where and These are like AWS icons, but here you can see many things are offloaded from WordPress So there's our AMI or This one is it to server So there there is PHP and your WordPress is there and then you have my sequel That's but it's outside of your server. So it's outside of your OS It's there all DSDB instance. So it's a Amazon's Database service so you can just use the service You don't need to set up some something like server and you install OS and your OS Needs this this this middle where you don't need to do that. You just use the service And that one will back up everything like you can roll back to any point Which means you don't need to back up your database You don't need to run like WPDB Export and send it somewhere and all things stuff. You don't need to do that. You just leave that there and The medias are stored in Amazon S3. It's a storage service. It's cheap so instead of sending your Uploads like medias to your WP content slash uploads slash 2016 something something you do that but you sync it to Amazon S3 Then it's really difficult to lose contents from S3. So which means you don't need to Do backups right like it's backed up there And you can create backup of backup to I mean S3 backup to and then And then your source code like themes and plugins and one press core or other files They can be like anywhere like git or something right then you can Like switch anything like you can switch the database you can switch the easy to serve itself because PHP runs and you have your source code and you have tested then everything works So backup is there and you have the cloud front So if we add here the Google analytics simple GA ranking or other tools like you can offload your comment to maybe discuss or Like Facebook comments, that's also like you're offloading something outside and Other like a synchronous tools Then I think we'll press look like this. So this is the model we saw before You have one press core and connect our plugins and other services like Google Amazon Discuss Facebook and stuff like that So but this one is like we we look the world press as a like hub or it's a it's the center but Maybe we need to change different think differently So this is about building micro services So system of like multiple components like and then Components they work like individually like independently. They they can work alone and Each components are loosely coupled through a restful API or some kind of API Then This one should look like this So this should be it's service sees model. I name this So but you have a lot of things you can use Right and then won't press can be one of them So think like won't press has now WP API It's to communicate With others right so we have yeah, I love won't press won't press my life, but We don't need to think like okay. We start from one press. Can we do this with world press? I told you like let's don't do this Let's not do this, but like how can I offload stuff? This is the like second stage may be like the last stage would look like this we can have a lot of things we can connect them each and One of them is one press. This is the model and One thing I like about this model is like if you do this then you can come back to The real good point of world press. So what presses mission is? democratization of publishing which means like everyone can publish what they want Anyway, and freely so and the thing we want to do is Like deliver your contents your thought your products to someone Then it's not like a logging or like a security You don't want to care about security when you want to tell something some somebody something so we need to We this way we can like really concentrate this way or even this way We can really concentrate on what one press Offer us or what we want to do with one press so The talk started from how to offload how to like serve the high-traffic website But if we choose this model, there are a lot like we can like come back to the one press strong point And that was my talk today Yeah questions I think you have quite an interesting life Thank you


Hello everyone, welcome back to a new session on dentistry and more. So today we have a new topic, survey procedures, survey we have seen survey and we have heard lot about surveys, the survey which is coming just before the election that is political surveys, pre-political surveys, pre-election surveys and survey on various things. So survey is nothing but a part of epitomology or the descriptive part of epitomology. So epitomology we have two major varieties that is descriptive and experimental or you can say observational and experimental. Observational study means the investigator has no special role, nothing but an observer he just collects data and interprets the data. So survey is nothing but an observational epitomology. So let's see the definition of survey. It is an investigation in which information is systematically collected but the experimental method is not used. So like I said there is no experimental method is involved in survey. So survey is like a common man's term, epitomology is more of a kind of scientific term. So the types of survey we have seen this I told you there is no experimental method. So it is nothing but an observational part that is descriptive and analytical. So in descriptive we are just seeing cross-sectional longitudinal and even analytical we have cross-sectional longitudinal. So descriptive study and analytical study, descriptive as a name suggests is just describe a situation like distribution of a disease. We know it is mentioned under time, place and distribution, time, place and person distribution. So analytical means it tries to explain a situation by determinative power like why does the disease occur. This is like where is this occurring, how it is occurring, how fast it is occurring and what are the age groups which is affected. So here it is saying why does the disease occur. So here we formulate the hypothesis in analytical we test the hypothesis and if it is based on the time period we have basically two types that is longitudinal and cross-sectional. So longitudinal is nothing but a follow-up study cross-sectional is only one point of time we will be checking the data of a population. Now let's move on to the oral health service that is basic oral health service. These are particularly on the oral health matters that is defined as a survey to collect the basic information about oral disease status and treatment needs that is needed for planning or monitoring oral health care programs. There is nothing but we do a survey to plan a program or monitor oral health care programs. So these are the basic oral health service that has basically few objectives that is to provide a full picture of the oral health status and needs of a population and to monitor changes in the disease levels or patterns. So these are the objectives of oral health service. So pathfinder service are the common question that has been asked. So pathfinder service is nothing but how the oral health service conducted. So it is like for the past 25 years the practical economical survey sampling methodology by considering special factors associated with oral disease which is known as pathfinder. So the striking feature of pathfinder service is it uses a stratified cluster sampling technique. We have seen sampling designs in detail. So previous videos I mentioned about the sampling techniques, probability and non-probability sampling. So this stratified cluster sampling technique are particularly used in pathfinder method. So while we are using stratified cluster sampling it aims to include the most important population subgroups which are having various disease levels and particular age groups also included. So by this way we can get a very reliable and clinically relevant information for planning a oral health program. So never forget this particular sampling design stratified cluster sampling which is particularly for the pathfinder survey and pathfinder survey is for oral health service. So we have two types of pathfinder survey that is pilot and national pathfinder. So pilot survey is like any research we do pilot study before doing the actual study just to know the feasibility or reliability of the examiners. So pilot survey is just like a pilot seeing from very top of the area. So he can have a very large view but he may need to do it at a proper level so that he will understand what are the limitations or roadblocks he might face in the actual study. So pilot study we do on a pathfinder survey by keeping one or two index ages so index ages we will see in the next slide. So it is like we don't take all the age groups just one or two index age groups and mostly the 12 years will be one among that and we do the pilot survey it will be a very small study. Why we are doing pilot study means it provides minimum amount of data needed to commence planning additional data has to be collected in order to provide a baseline for the implementation and monitoring services. So just to start a plan or before planning we need to do a pilot survey by keeping one or two age groups and the age 12 should be one among that because it is a global monitoring age of dental care is and we can start the program but we need to get more data by conducting national pathfinder survey it is a very big type of service it has to include at least three age groups and most importantly other most importantly it has to include all important subgroups here you can use only most important subgroups so you need to collect people from most of the cities or most of the populations or most of the group where you get the stratified sampling and clusters wherever you get you need to include a national pathfinder survey the aim is to represent a very larger picture not like a pilot survey which gives a very minute or very fraction of the data so national pathfinder survey a minimum three age groups should be there here only one or two age groups okay so let's see what are the age groups index age groups I was talking about these are also known as World Health Organization index age groups or age groups or WHO age groups so it is important that when we are doing a study on oral health these age groups should be included because it has relevance in our oral health age groups are five in number that is first one was five that is for primary dentition then 12 15 35 to 44 I'm 65 to 74 for permanent dentition so why fifth year is important because the level of caries and primary dentition which may exhibit our short time frame so at the age of five we have our perm deciduous molas erupted maybe for two to three years so can have a better look on the dental caries pattern and 12 year is also known as global monitoring age for caries so because it is a age when children leave primary school so therefore it is the last age at which reliable sample may be obtained through the school system because once they are out of the school it is very difficult to collect data so 12 year is very important that is why in pilot study we were including one or two index age group and one among it should be 12 so teeth have erupted except because by 12 years most of the teeth must have erupted except the molas and this is known as global monitoring age for caries for international comparison and monitoring of disease strengths so 15th year by this age permanent teeth have exposed to oral environment for three to nine years so caries experience can be assessed 35 to 44 years like it is a standard monitoring group of health condition adults so the full effect of caries period on the disease are into action so we can easily make out our current do comparison of the caries and period on the status between the people and 65 to 74 this is necessary for planning appropriate care for elderly and the overall effect of oral health care also can be assessed at this age group so the index age group or WHO age groups are 5 12 15 35 to 44 and 65 to 74 in pilot study out of this five two should be included and one should be 12 for national pathfinders away three should be included that is total five are there so out of five there are three should be there for a national pathfinder survey okay so how we conduct a survey it is very similar to our descriptive study because we need to do the objectives establishing the objective then we need to design the investigation sample selection conducting the examination analyzing the data drawing conclusion and publishing the result so objectives means the hypothesis we discussed hypothesis null hypothesis alternate hypothesis everything we are covered in detail so we need to establish a hypothesis then we need to design how we are going to conduct a study based on the objective that is descriptive or analytical so it can be a prevalent study or it can be an incident study it depends upon the nature of disease if it is already occur we can do a prevalent study if it is yet to occur we can do an incident study so incident study are like which is happening in the future so it might take longer duration and it might cost a lot of money and administratively complicated and sometimes we need to keep control so all these are the patterns which we seen in descriptive study and analytical study so we know how to conduct a case control and cohort study we have seen in detail so I am not going very detail about it so you can always go back and check the video where I mentioned in detail about case control cohort study in the epidemiological section and then we need to do the sample selection so selection of sample also we have covered in detail that is probability sample or non probability sample so it depends upon always probability is good because it has equal chance for all participants like simple random stratified systematic and cluster so in pathfinder survey this is a combined stratified and cluster was used stratified cluster sampling so non probability convenience judgmental quarter snowball so I am not going in detail because the same topic we have covered so that was sampling probability and non probability after that we need to do the examination so conducting examination by approving proper role from authorities budgeting we need to schedule it and cases refill validity and reliability of data so instruments examination area all these we need to plan and then we do examination on patients so we have four types of examination this is also very important for the exam types of examination so type one two three and four type one is a complete examination and type four is just using a tongue depressant so always keep in mind type one is the best and type four is the worst okay so keep in mind in that way so type one means we have all the arrangements all the investigations all the equipments to understand a patient's oral health we have mouth mirror explorer illumination radiographs diagnostic methods such as for testing transillumination and lab investigation we have everything to understand a patient's oral health status but the type two is mouth mirror explorer and illumination with radiographs okay so type two is a little bit compromised and type one type three is only mouth mirror explorer and illumination okay so type four is just a screening procedure we use only tongue depressor okay so type two is commonly we use in clinical trials when we do study clinical trials we can use this type two with mouth mirror explorer illumination and radiographs type three in epidemiological service when we go to a field we are doing study on a very large group of people so in epidemiological service we can use mouth mirror explorer and a torchlight for illumination type four is just for inspection of school children in that case we can do so type four is screening type three is a epidemiological survey and type two is clinical trials and type one will be a most accurate and most complete examination so this is the types of examination type one two three and four type one is a complete one and type four is the minimalistic one okay so after that we need to analyze the data how we analyze the data it is based on the risk estimation we know how to conduct a risk estimation relative risk odds ratio so those parameters we have seen and finally we need to reject or accept a hypothesis based and we need to put the conclusion and we can publish our reports okay so that's all about survey method survey method is nothing but epidemiology in the descriptive part we are giving in a more general way epidemiology is very much scientific way so we are expressing the same epidemiology descriptive part or observational study in a more common way that is survey so survey the important things are the types of examination and the sampling and this one the age groups okay pathfinder surveys are common husions and this index age groups a pathfinder survey index age groups sampling and types of examination and survey is a very common essay being asked every every say two years once in two years or every year it's been asked so survey methodology and other short notes are important in this chapter so I'll come up with a new session and understand what I think


Today, we're going to be talking to David about what his job is in the Air Force. He actually has a YouTube channel as well. I'll link it up above. You guys want to go check out his channel. Emergency management. The ANFSE is 3 Echo 9 X1. Why did you join the Air Force in the first place? Because I know it probably wasn't to do emergency management specifically. The reason why I enlisted is because where I was before I enlisted, I was working two jobs.   I did that money through Friday and then I worked at a grocery store, being a cashier on the weekend. So my days off were the holidays. I was just in a financial spot there. I was going to school for some time, so I had incurred some student loans. I had four credit cards that were maxed out. I was paying all my own bills. Anything I was paying was literally like keeping my head above water as far as finances go. So I was kind of looking a way to help with school and at least finance or like some sort of... Alleviate that stress of drowning and debt. 100%. Yeah, exactly. So debt was huge. And I know that if you were enlisted in the military, that this specific company that had my student loans, they'll hold off your loan as long as you're enlisted. So I thought, okay, that fixes my finances. And then working two jobs, as you can imagine, it wasn't like the most ideal scenario because I was trying to pay off all the credit card debt.  You don't think I want to unload people's dirty laundry or a cashier. I was looking for something else that had more meaning to it. And then I also wanted to travel. That's one of those perks with the military. Where are you originally from? So it's a small town called Frankfurt, Illinois. So it's south suburbs of Chicago. Midwest then. Yes. So living in Florida is way different than what people back home is. Exceptional. This is my first time ever in the South. So it's like two totally different environments. So basically, I was looking for that hard reset in life.  Felt like I was drowning as far as finances go. The jobs were just kind of suffocating me. I was looking for new opportunity and stuff like that. So that's why I enlisted. So that's something that probably a lot of people can relate with. They're in a spot in life where they don't want to be either financially job-wise, travel-wise. Just all these things. That's exactly where I was as well. So I know we're not the only two in the world that have looked to join the Air Force to kind of reset our life or get our life back on track. So that leads us to today. When did you join? So how long have you been in right now? And what's your current rank? December 7th, 2015 was my first day in BMT. Current rank is senior airman. You're not a staff select right now. Not yet. So you haven't tested yet. So that's testing for staff sergeant to be an E5. So you're currently an E4. So when joining the Air Force, a lot of people, when they get their contract up front, they're hoping that they get a specific job. But sometimes they sign some sort of open contract, either open general, open mechanical, open electric. So did you get this job, emergency management? Did you get it right off the bat or did you sign an open contract when you joined? So I got it right off the bat. It was part of my list, but it was maybe four or five. And I was told that you'll be working closer with security forces, because at the time that's what I wanted to do. My degree was contoured towards law enforcement. Yeah, I guess that's more like the broader category. So you said it was your fourth or fifth job on there. So what other things did you have listed? Just kind of give people an idea of what you were trying to do overall in the Air Force. So I wanted something where I was physically moving about, when you're a cashier, you're moving, you're scanning items, you're bagging, so it was active, working at the warehouse. I'm unloading trucks, I'm physically moving. I didn't have an office. My office was wherever the workplace was. So when I was asking the Air Force liaison at the MEPS Center, I just want something physical. They said, do you like working with your hands? And I said, yeah, but I don't want to be a maintainer. You should have just become a maintainer. You would have been super satisfied, like literally every day, just work, work, work. So they asked me what I am doing at the time in the civilian world. When I told them, they said, okay, well, here's stuff that's like civil engineering. I didn't know what civil engineering was. And so I was looking at things that were before that were fire prevention was number two. I remember that because they told me it was an oversaturated career field and I couldn't get it. I think three and four were structures and heavy equipment. And all that was kind of in the CE realm. I didn't know that at the time. I took his word for it. But I also took his word for saying emergency management. You were close to security forces, which I haven't yet talked to a security forces member. That's right.  So this is actually a good time to talk about this. You're watching this. You're trying to learn about this career field, right? Or like, maybe I want to do this. Maybe I don't. Your recruiter most likely only has done one job in the Air Force and there's over a hundred jobs. So it's very, very hard for a recruiter to be like, yeah, emergency management does all this because the most information that they have is just like, they've heard this or that from somebody and that's they've never actually experienced it. Definitely do your research when your recruiter tells you something about a career field because if they weren't that career field, then they honestly have no idea. Hence why I'm not talking about emergency management. David is because he actually is that job. I could tell you stuff about it and then you join and be like Kyle was totally wrong because I honestly don't know because I didn't live through that. I was a maintainer while I was in for six years. You were saying you're like the recruiter told me this and I was like cool. And then you get the job and you're like that and nothing but your recruiter I'm assuming wasn't emergency management. It was it was the liaison at the maps office. Okay. And they probably weren't emergency management either. I think they were fuel something. So they were something in maintenance. So they probably had no information about emergency management other than like the little snippet that the Air Force says about it and they were just like probably works with security forces like emergency security forces response emergency management response. What do you do? We manage emergencies. Yeah, maybe so that's probably where they got their information. So just take what the recruiter says with a grain of salt. Don't fault them for it most of the time because honestly they're just trying to get the information but they're not an encyclopedia. They can't know everything and they only know what they've done. One of the only reasons why I went along with what he said is because in the civilian world if you see something where there's like a major accident there's actually police interceptor cars that say emergency management on them. And I remember like oh that's cool. So he's I thought he was right because in the civilian that's probably what he fought to exactly. Yeah, so but in the civilian world and in the military sense the emergency management and emergency management over here in the civilian world are two different things. So you joined straight out of debt with that contract. You didn't have to go to BMT and find out later because you signed an open contract. So when you signed your contract how many years did you sign four or six? I signed for four year. Okay and why? What was the main reason you signed four instead of six? Did you come in as an E3? I did. Okay so that would have been a big reason why to possibly not sign a six year because you're already coming in as an E3. There's no incentive to sign the six in that sense. But is there anything else that influenced you that might help somebody else? So I only did a four year because like I said I needed help with school. I wanted to continue my education but I was financially strapped at the time in the position to do that and I wasn't going to take out more student loans. The military helping me out with that. I could defer those loans while still getting the free education. Signing the four year with that I already I needed help with school and I could do that in the four year period. I didn't need six years to get the bachelors. Coming in I had 60 some odd credits. That's why I signed a four year because my original intention was help with finances and school and travel was kind of like a tertiary option like that was going to happen regardless just being in. I could get everything done in the four year so I didn't need to do six. I was going to ask you if emergency management was something you wanted to do and we kind of already talked about that you said yeah because the way your recruiter explained it you were like that sounds like something I want to do so other than that like you didn't originally join like the Air Force being like I want to do emergency management. Right so I originally wanted security forces and the reason why I wanted that is because not only was my degree kind of going towards that already but just like as a person I felt like like my mission in life was I want to help other people and I want to like I want to be that kind of shield in front of one of those things where I was like you know what I want to be in that position where I can help other people individuals families or even loved ones to not have to go through terrifying experiences like that to be that person up front where I could be like you know I have a skill set where I could help other people and protect them so that no one when they go out at night they don't have to worry about are they going to get jumped are they going to get robbed stuff like that so I want to be that shield for other people so that's kind of the reason why you signed emergency management because you thought it kind of had something to do with protecting people in that manner which it kind of does we'll get into that in a little bit right so you still are kind of protecting people just maybe not in the mindset that you originally had right it's not the I'm not a first responder I'm an emergency responder so those are two totally different things and it's not necessarily in the title of emergency management it's in like the job that I do so something that's really important for people that are taking a job is they want to know where the heck is my tech school at so after basic training they're going to go to tech school where are they going and how long so after graduating you're going to go to Fort Leonardwood Missouri you're going to be there for approximately four months you actually know that ground transportation is also at Fort Leonardwood yes I mean other jobs are at Fort Leonardwood because I just interviewed interviewed bully juice which is ground transportation yeah and he was like Fort Leonardwood and I was like I didn't even know we had tech schools there before Leonardwood is a basic training base for the army so that was probably hectic because there's always trainees everywhere but there are me trainees and you're like this teeny little detachment there but how many other career fields actually do their tech school there so this is all new to me Air Force specific I'm guessing yeah okay so there's ground transportation yep they're there emergency management there are they call them dirt boys I think it's structures technically it's the heavy equipment have operators or something I don't know the exact title for it but I know I know it was dirt boys yeah it was called a dirt boys and then the EA's are engineering assistant so there's four jobs total that yes Air Force wise that's actually more than I thought for me I was actually on a Navy base and Pensacola which was like super crazy to me but there was three jobs that were stationed there for tech school also little no don't base you're joining a job just off of where they go to tech school there were people that joined my job because they're like yo I saw tech schools in Pensacola Florida so I'm like I'm doing that and it's like four months and then after that you go wherever the Air Force wants you to go so like some people joined for that four months that there six years and I'm like what are you doing so yeah definitely don't base it off just because you're going to Fort Leonard Wood and you're like I don't want to go to Missouri or whatever like don't base it just off of that so talking about tech school after that you go straight to your base how many bases can you go to are you limited like some jobs are limited to certain bases or is yours a job where they kind of need you everywhere so what's nice about mine is that being emergency management they need that support everywhere right we have a section called plans and part of those plans are how is the base going to respond to those disasters you don't have emergency management at your base you know yeah you have plans how are we guys going to respond like our em program we call it emergency management program is ran by high-ranking individuals that they need to know like hey em how are we going to respond to this yeah so that's a component in emergency management so you need that at every base okay now not every base is all military there are some bases and I'm blanking on it right now is that they're all civilians however that em component is still there thanks so you can go to probably some bases that other jobs don't even have access to 100% see I'm learning new stuff every time I interview one of these people about their job is yeah there's a lot to it that you might not meet at surface level and once you get into it you're like well there's a lot more to it than I thought so going into there's a lot more to it than I thought let's explain your job to or I'm gonna let you explain your job to these guys where they can understand it in like a few minutes like two to five minutes of like what the different sections of your job are because some people think when they join they're going to do one thing that's it their whole career but that's usually not it with most jobs so what are all the different kind of components of your job and what do they do high-ranking title is readiness and emergency management flight so readiness and emergency management are actually broken down into two categories you have the readiness and emergency management readiness is like prime beef section or like the expeditionary section or the deployable section that deals with helping people deploy and then the emergency management side is broken down from there training which I'm in right now we have the plan section mentioned that earlier we have the logistic section which handles equipment and then we have the operation section which handles our EOC or the emergency operations center so that's kind of like the sections you can expect to work in and each of those have their own specific duty and then as E.M. or E.M. as a whole share other responsibilities that are E.M. related okay so when you are saying plans what do the plans actually include so for plans some of those sections there's a specific rank needed because they expect a certain level of know-how of the job and you'll be working with the installation emergency manager who will be working in that office with you so they have the connection to the commander to the group commander to the wing commander of how E.M. is coming up with these plans and how they work with all the different units or so that isn't that's more of a desk job not a hands-on job yes very much so you're more so in taking in information about like how the base is either set up or how many people or whatever I like how many supplies you're just kind of like crunchy numbers maybe like like for people like if we have write-up teams like what kind of units are going to go where who you know like what are those contacts like who's going to talk to what what about M.O.U. is M.O.A. is memorandums of understanding an agreement with like the county would you say that that is one of the most like desk job wise in your overall career field or like what what would you classify because you said you want to join for hands-on yeah so what is the most hands-on section out of emergency management and what is the least and you're not in logistics right now I have been I've actually been on logistics most of my career that's how I started out and then when I was deployed I was in the logistics section and the plan section which is rare for an A1C at the time yeah but I was working with an NCIC staff sergeant who mentored me in a direction to operate at basically an E5 level okay but the most hands-on would be logistics the most desk job I would almost combine them as far as like operations and plans they do different things but they're the both very desk job heavy you would say training is like kind of hands-on but like you're basically like a teacher in a way so you're you give like a three-hour lecture about how to do your job and you kind of show people how to do it yes but everyone does that all the sections do so like as an as actually part of the EM Tech School the last block of instruction isn't even EM related it's instructor related so I am technically like I'm not an MTI but like a military and instruct like a certified military instructor so a lot of times like a running joke for us is like oh your EM here teach this because I'm certified to know how to see how to teach yeah so that's actually something you probably didn't even think of when you join emergency management so it do you think it's been more hands-on or less hands-on than you thought originally probably less hands-on okay and so but have you what's your overall like feeling with your job has it been something you're like glad that you had or you've enjoyed it even though it wasn't exactly what you thought is it something where you're like you're not sitting here like this is the worst job ever but and I think you've had a lot of experience because like you said you were kind of trained to be an instructor before you should have been an instructor so it's kind of helped you progress in life we actually talked off-camera how you said you used to not like public speaking or anything it scared you at first and now it's like a normal thing yeah I mean I still get like the butterflies before teaching it's only because I expect a good performance out of myself because I've been doing this for a couple years so once you start doing this the butterflies go away just kind of like you're in the motion yeah yeah once I start and it's like okay this feels familiar now okay so definitely not exactly what people would think with emergency management even myself I'm like oh your emergency management you must do like some crazy like when emergency happens on the base like a hurricane hits you're the ones out like moving stuff that's what I originally felt it so that's what I always thought so and even now it's totally different than what I would have imagined so you're more so on the base to help the base react in a way and not necessarily you're the ones reacting correct so that you see I mentioned before while it is kind of like operations or ops kind of owns that or runs that all of us emers will work in there and the EOC what that is is there's however many representatives in there from different units there's like an LRS representative there's a med group representative there's you know all these different representatives there from the base that they designate as these EOC reps representatives right so for example when the hurricane came through and hit Tyndall they were asking us hey you know we need resources so they called the EOC we talked to security forces hey security forces can you send people out to help Tyndall yeah I'll get you know someone there right away or you know however it goes down so we were like like the like the talking point for them so like Tyndall was like hey we're hit you're the closest base can you help us and then I was in there talking to security force hey LRS can you get some trucks security forces guys over here pick them up and bring them over there so in when I'm doing that part of my job that's when it was more hands-on that's when I was like hey this is I'm helping people this is where I was like I feel good about you were like kind of directing people to go do the help but you aren't the people on the ground helping correct so you're kind of just like the way I would explain it is like you're the you're the person kind of like calling in the air strike but like not not like you're the ones like helping people but you're like calling it in like they're like this person you're like these people go mm-hmm so that's pretty cool so one of my bigger questions I want to ask interview is are you planning on making this a career or is this just a short-time thing because you originally said you were doing it just for short time right so have your ideas changed over time are you questioning it now or where's your mind at now that you've been in versus your original thought you already said I'm joining I'm doing that for might get out after two to go guard and so now you're at three and a half so you didn't do palace chase correct so you know what's your what's your overall goal what did you turn this into I just had to extend to take an assignment which I was okay with because like I said yeah I was gonna do my for and get help and then go on about my degree and getting what I want to do with my degree but for the opportunity for traveling came up I don't mind extending for five months to take an assignment okay so so that's where that took me so now okay I'm in longer than what I expected so what am I gonna do with that now really depends because for me to stay in there have to I would have to find something else not saying I don't enjoy it but to find something else where the job kind of really grabs me to work because now I'm gonna be 28 and it's like I want something I'm gonna keep doing yeah I don't want it like I did this for help and it wasn't necessarily my first choice like we said I want to go for something like Secret Service wise yeah but then I found out about OSI and they do stuff that's in the Air Force like Secret Service so I was like oh that's interesting but then doing that I have to re-enlist yeah so now you're talking about another four years yeah I want to do four years I you're still kind of on the fence I'm still kind of on the fence so you're still trying to process everything right now way options so you haven't decided yet I haven't decided I don't mind extending because in your enlistment you can extend for up to one year for four years and then and then it's like hey you have to re-enlist so I could still I don't mind going okay one year I'll take this assignment one year I'll see if I can cross train one year let's see what this base is like yeah so it really depends at that moment but as of right now I just plan on doing that assignment I have coming up okay and then looking at other options outside of the Air Force my last question for this interview is going to be what advice would you have for somebody that is watching this and they're like hey I'm actually interested in this job I've watched it all the way to this point so you know I might put it down on my list what would your advice for that person be something I didn't know coming in now that I know is it's a lot of public speaking it's not based on your section it's everyone in E.M. will have a chance to teach do you like public speaking now I think even if I knew that I would still try it out only because I wanted to challenge myself too yeah because I needed to break the barrier I was in I wasn't a confident person before I enlisted and even after enlisting I was like I need to work on me as a person yeah so I knew public speaking is probably one of the most key things to get confidence so after doing it for a couple years I feel like I have confidence now where I can stand up in front of people and talk confidently about you know any given topic I can do something off the cuff and be like oh hey you know I can tell you about this so advice would be if you don't like public speaking and you're not willing to take on that challenge probably not the best job probably not the best job because let's I would say keep an open mind though and 100 possibly be willing to I would build yourself into that right it's never gonna hurt you long term right and actually an almost any job depending on the job but almost any job most jobs eventually you're gonna be some sort of instructor yeah or even to get a job you're gonna have to do an interview right so you're gonna have to talk in front of someone else so even at that point it might not even be a bad thing because you could set yourself up to be killing interviews right from your own job right getting used to talking in front of somebody so don't just look at things like I don't like public speaking so that's out of the picture right but definitely I think that's a great great advice as far as like keep it on my mind when you're gonna be public speaking regardless if you want to or not in the career field because I literally told my supervisor he was like yeah we're gonna have you you know do some like some class teaching at the time not knowing any better I was like oh I think my efforts are put better you know somewhere else he goes no you have to like you do that's your job you do this yeah so and it's not just you know like Sebron classes it's like EM rep courses it's control center operations courses so like when I go back to work this upcoming work week like I'm teaching a class somewhere else that I have to go to in front of other people the seventh special forces group that I talked about the base around here I have to I did a hurricane brief for them three days in a row for three days in a row I was in front of army Rangers teaching them about hurricane safety and where they go if the Rangers have if the Rangers are like hey we can't be here anymore because of whatever mission capabilities you know happen that they you know that the hurricane damage and they have to go somewhere else I was briefing them hey I'm your Rangers here's where you go and they're listening to the whole senior airmen Air Force thing so that's actually pretty cool and it is when you look at it like that you start getting your confidence it's like oh wow like that's though that's like I tell Army Rangers what to do more or less yeah I tell them where to go so some other advice just know that you will have to be public speaking at some point now obviously I want to reach a certain rank your focus shifts some other things coming in this crew field it really depends on your base how active you are like for where I'm at an Air Force base now actually here for CE there's only three military squadrons all the rest are civilians so like plumbers electricians structures all civilians so I actually work closely with EOD here and fire here so we do a lot of training together which is really cool for me because it's not like that everywhere else yeah so like other places again it depends on the missions like I think Peterson Air Force base in Colorado they have air shows so like EM will go out in staging case of an emergency and they need to set up an EOC on the spot like that that hub I was talking about before so they'll actually go out and set up for that but there's not those here your job and the business of the job may differ depending on the job the base you go to so that's another thing that I think is unique with this job okay so like if somebody were to be like yeah that's a really busy job maybe that's their own experience but not every base is going to be like that right and so and a really good example I think is in Germany like between Spengalum and Rammstein is that Rammstein excessive super busy from what I was told yeah yeah I wish though a super busy Spengalum different mission not as busy but they're in Germany and they're like they're like an hour or two apart I think they're like they're two hours yeah pretty close to each other but totally different somebody's like yeah I was stationed in Germany it was crazy busy but this was I was stationed in Germany it was super slow yeah this is excellent I'm talking about so it really depends as far as emergency management goes what where you're at at the base and what their mission is so basically keep an open mind as far as public speaking goes and then also keep an open mind as far as busyness goes if you're like a busy body and you have to be in a busy place might be a good job but also could be a bad job because you might get stationed somewhere that isn't as busy but overall do you feel like this this job has satisfied you and your overall experience of what you wanted to do in the Air Force as a whole like because you originally joined just kind of like help yourself financially but you feel like it's helped you beyond that like become who you are today for a better version of you 100% that just the kind of person I am I'm always like like positive thinking like you know even if you have a bad day there's something you pull out of that you know so the public speaking even though I still don't like doing it yeah the confidence it's brought to me is gonna be tenfold for the future my future self yeah now the confidence that I bring across people are like man he's good and I'm like I was so nervous like you don't understand how nervous I was and that I was a little coward when I first started yeah you have no idea I mean like the shaky voice like sweating and everything yeah and now it's it's you know less but anyway you just have learned how to control yourself more exactly yeah and that's something where not all jobs are gonna be tested especially at an A1C level my job we never did public speaking right almost ever like I had to do it like maybe once or twice when they'd be like hey Sergeant guy you're gonna brief the like weekend safety brief or whatever and so then they would make me like read this thing in front of our whole shop but it'd be like 30 guys and it was all guys I knew so it was like big deal yeah but that was like the most public speaking I ever had to do and even then I didn't like doing it I'm just like you stole me on the spot like right now like hey read this I'm like oh okay yeah mine is like I'll be you know on the computer one second the next minute they're like oh hey cap someone has an appointment you have to teach us three and a half hour course oh okay let me get ready all of a sudden yeah you know let me mentally prepare myself in four seconds right but some other things that I think it helped me is so another thing about this job and I don't think it's actually advertised on your first website is that I'm actually has meant tech certified so actually part of that tech school is you go to a part at Fort Leonard Wood where they teach has met awareness ops and technician so actually that has meant tech certification what they told us in tech school is it's a two-year certification we got in two weeks you take a test every other day and you you study like no one's business and it's two weeks of your whole time there so like when you're doing that that's your main focus you do em stuff em stuff em stuff and then it's like oh it has has met time that's like has met I forgot what they call a block we just said it was has met and then you do that for two weeks and then you get has met tech certified which is I have like a certification from the NFPA saying your has met tech certified I can respond and recover to different disasters like chemical spills like trains that fall on over and have has met that fallen out so that was one of the thing that I didn't know about the job that I thought was holy crap it's working in like they call it like level a suits is like the type of protection you have and it's like those big bubble suits that you ever see people out in that's my job as well whoa so there's kind of hands-on so it is kind of that emergency or response stuff that you were talking about yes but you don't exactly do that all the time but you have the certifications right because depending on the base like I said before is they may have the civilians do it or a lot of times like like for this base here it's the fire department's job like they have that show so they do that like we may come on as like a recommendation like yeah here's what you should do and then we'll go into you so you want to do it as a civilian though you have the certification so you can get out and is it have you seen or heard people it's easier to step into that job getting out there's actually a very good example and I don't remember the person's name and I don't think it would matter actually but I this particular person this was years years ago but she had you know she came in she did her foreign got out she got out as a senior airman and she had this hazmat tack and worked don't remember where but it was some big company and was making like 80 grand out of like right away like right like right away right out of her four years went to this company and was making like like some crazy amount of money at very young age with the certification because they had military experience because my job emergency management is actually actually directly related to FEMA in the civilian world like the Department of Homeland Security there so it transfers pretty well into the civilian world it's not one of those jobs where it's just a dead-end job once you get out of the military you're like now I can't even use this it's actually a direct correlation because of and I could riddle off all these DODI's and AFI's but there's a specific instruction from the DOD that says every DOD installation will have an EM program from there we have what they call NIMS National Incident Management System from their Air Force took that and made AFIMS which means you know now here's how we operate for the emergency management so it is a direct correlation to FEMA for the Department of Homeland Security and that's what my bachelor's is focusing on now because now I have all the schooling for it I've been doing this stuff so you're pretty well set up if you did want to get out you're like you're not too worried about getting a job because it will transfer and that's why I'm at that point where I'm like I got what I wanted I'm going to be doing my foreign extended to take the assignment for travel which I don't mind doing but I completed what I've wanted now and I'm going to finish my bachelor's while I'm in Korea before I get out and I have that direct correlation I can go anywhere with this certification with this experience and it's just right you know right there that's super awesome so that's good information for somebody like a tip is this job can transfer so it doesn't have to be something they're like well if I do it then I'm stuck because if I get out how am I going to use it so if you guys enjoyed this video or appreciate it be sure to give it a thumbs up also go check out David's channel as well I'm going to link it up above I'll have a link in the description check him out

The most ancient sites to be found here upon our planet were often created using enormous erosion-resistant megalithic stones. This use of enormous stone being the reason why many of these structures have indeed survived the eons, and although the actual methods used to move such stones has been lost to history, their existence and indeed their placement remains a testament to our lost ancestors' past capabilities. According to modern science, or more specifically, the known laws of physics, many of these stone blocks defy understanding. And although little is known regarding the true builders of such sites, places such as Puma Panku still possesses many megalithic blocks, which display the extraordinarily advanced, astonishing feats of block building and precision carving, which we believe were left by a people who flourished an incredibly long time ago.  Their existence is undeniable, yet highly controversial. Therefore, predictably, many of these sites are either quietly investigated or simply ignored, successfully concealing unexplained feats of past engineering. Some of the most visited sites on Earth contain megalith blocks walked past or over without a second thought every day. These stones, however, hold the secret to unraveling the currently-attested historical inaccuracies, for they do indeed exist, cannot be shifted, and fly in the face of the incomplete history academics are attempting to teach as fact. These same individuals simply fall silent when asked to explain how their currently-attested builders of said sites, be it Roman, Inca, Mayan, Egyptian, etc., actually built such structures using such enormous blocks. Additionally, regardless of these said individuals apparent qualification to speak on such matters. When one presents any compelling evidence, such as erosion patterns, machine toolmarks, highly advanced building techniques, be it anything solid which indicates a far more superior, far older civilization as the true constructors, their lack of true knowledge regarding their apparent specialist subjects always becomes apparent. Additionally, these selected, submissive, often subsequently authoritatively placed individuals, have never had the experience to explore such controversial evidence, or indeed the indicative possibilities attached thereof. This means that although their knowledge of permitted history is substantial, their overall knowledge regarding the past, and indeed its possible past inhabitants, will always be severely limited. Yet, fortunately, although it may sometimes feel like an eternal battle, in the end the truth is always found. When Austrian explorer Arthur Poznanowski performed a study on Puma Panku in 1926, he later hypothesized that it was, in fact, one of the oldest archaeological sites on the face of the Earth, an ancient ruin dating back at least 15,000 years ago. Poznanowski was one of the first explorers of the modern age to have ever investigated Puma Panku's incredible existence, but as our regular viewers would have predicted, his hypothesis is staunchly denied by academics worldwide. Yet regardless of this, his sound reasoning, and indeed that of many other critically minded individuals, means that his theory is one many others have arrived at, thus it continues to have many supporters to this day. And although mainstream academia persists in their attempts to place this amazing and largely inexplicable site's date of construction within permitted timelines, claiming to have carbon dating done at the site which places its origins at around 500 BC, supporters of a greater age dismissed this dating as unreliable, and due to our own in-depth and many years of investigative experience regarding these ruins, tend to agree that the site is indeed far older, and due to their having been in Ice Age around 10,000 years ago, this dating made by Poznanowski would put it right where one would expect to have found it if it was indeed the work of a pre-cataclysmic civilization, with Puma Panku being a surviving relic of their incredible legacy. Additionally, archaeologist and researcher Neil Steed has also investigated a relationship with astronomical alignments. He discovered intriguing supporting evidence for this controversial opinion, finding that it was built to coincide with winter and summer solstice and a precise alignment with the spring equinox as well. However, these events would have only been perfectly aligned with the temples over 17,000 years ago. We have long argued against a field of study that is not only assumptive in method, but is also conspiratorial in nature. Any dating of any relic which cannot be explained is merely an attempt to muddy the waters of understanding, often obscured with an in-depth volley of detailed and competent investigations into civilizations. We posit merely re-inhabited said sites within known recent well-studied history. This convincing tale of events, however, is short-lived if one explores any of the said sites with a logical eye. One soon finds that many characteristics on display are not only found globally, which on its own is compelling proof of a past global superpower, but the countless trilathons enormous megaliths some reaching into the thousands of tons, along with highly advanced incredibly accurate yet unknown masonry techniques, all tell a story which academics who never seem to mention said features cannot explain. Not to mention melting pots of ancient academic anomalies, such as that of Puma Punku. How can anyone logically claim that the astonishing precision on show at the site, along with the many basalt megalithic platforms weighing many hundreds of tons, all indicative of a past highly capable technologically advanced civilization once having been responsible and once one grasps just how many holes can be found within mainstream opinion? They can be forgiven for doubting said tale of events, especially when those who tell such tales actively attempt to conceal such unexplainable features. Who built Puma Punku? Is it really over 15,000 years old? How would one cut such precision stonework without precision machinery? It is a place which we find highly compelling. Polygonal masonry is undoubtedly a top Trump argument, along with toolmark patterning, and indeed pyramidal and other structural forms which can be found across the globe, which prove there was not only once an ocean-going ancient civilization, but a worldwide highly advanced superpower who once dominated the earth. The proof is there for all to see, yet en masse, how they incorporate these proofs into their critical decision-making faculties is still up for debate. Yet regardless, this proof of their past capabilities are still on display the world over, a duly awarded testament to their building prowess. Although many have attempted to explain these stones, some claiming they are of artificial or geo-polymer origins, others claim they are somehow a reformed rock from a plaster of peristite constituent of the original stone itself. Some even claim a plant was responsible. Any definitive answer as to how these stones were shaped and placed, or indeed any recreation of these claimed methods, elude us to this day. A lost technology from a now lost, yet once highly advanced ancient civilization, Cusco, which translates as The City of the Puma, holds some of the most exquisite and best preserved polygonal masonry to be found anywhere. Home to the famous 12-sided stone, something which many are not aware of, however, is that it is also home to dozens of carvings and structures which were intended as artistic masonry renditions of animals, one of which, namely, the Puma. Academic hypothesis suggests that these creations were built by the Inca to once form the boundary walls of an ancient temple, yet like the countless other areas we explore here on our channel. Any explanation as to how the walls were constructed, or indeed why pumas and other animals were incorporated into this enigmatic stonework, is absent from all and any academically accepted historical description of their origin. We feel that these structures were built for a reason, even stretching as far as Egypt, present as casing stones on the pyramids of Egypt themselves. They wanted future man to witness this stonework, built to last, and to remain immovable. It is if they were trying to tell us something about their existence, and indeed the true history and perhaps future fate of mankind. We find Cusco's Puma, and indeed the lost knowledge itself, highly compelling. We recently covered the astonishing precision-cut ancient ruins which can be found at Puma Panku within Bolivia. Once an enormous city complex, which still possesses some incredible features, one of the more controversial of these still surviving attractions is undoubtedly the Wall of Humanity. During the 1960s, archaeologists employed by the Bolivian government excavated a temple at Tiahuanaco. On the walls of the courtyard, hundreds of stone heads were discovered, all with a diverse range of features masterfully built into the architecture. A once perfectly constructed wall adorned with a variety of different faces, each now believed by a number of independent researchers to represent the different tribes and civilizations which could be found upon our planet at the time. If proven true, it is clearly a controversial reality for academia to explain. How can a wall, supposedly built by the Incas, display faces from all corners of the world, built by people who never traveled intercontinentally? Or does the Wall of Humanity further support the premise of a world-going advanced civilization actually having once built such sites? Furthermore, and perhaps the most intriguing detail surrounding this ancient artifact, is the addition of two heads made of a noticeably different material that instead of displaying a possible lost tribe, appears to actually represent what many would now identify as grey aliens. The question is, if the Wall of Humanity does indeed represent the different tribes which could be found all over the world at the time of its creation, then who or indeed what do these two faces represent? Are the ancient alien theories true? Did an extraterrestrial race not only once visit our planet but actually called it home? Clearly an astonishing ancient artifact which demands more alternative research. In our last video, we explored the work of the first pioneering antiquarians of the modern age. We discussed how archaeologists Arthur Poznanski and Neil Steed, along with many other astute individual researchers, unraveled a possible key to unlocking the true purpose and indeed historical significance of the site. They concluded that the site, due to academia's reluctance to tag any ancient ruin with a date of more than 4,000 years, is the oldest ruin on Earth. The archaeologists discovered an alignment with the solstices and spring equinox, which only occurred around 17,000 years ago. However, there are many other intriguing areas of interest yet to be fully understood. Along with the volumes of photographic documentations of precise measurements, independent researchers also discovered that the site's gray stonework also possesses a curious magnetic property. The question is, if these ancient people knew of this interesting characteristic, what was the purpose of using said stone? Was the stone slowly magnetized by a technology once present at the site, now lost to history? Along with the gray stone, however, the site also contains an equal amount of red sandstone, which was used to build the site, yet this red stone does not share the enigmatic magnetism of its gray counterpart. Perhaps the sandstone is somehow immune to what was responsible? Perhaps this is why the Great Pyramids were built from sandstone to avoid the masonry taking on this magnetic charge? Perhaps, but I digress. Puma Panku is what we like to call a smoking gun, a site which clearly displays masonry skills of its ancient constructor, precision-cut stone masonry, which today could only be achieved with the use of advanced stone-cutting machinery. Shrouded in mystery, the archaeological side of Puma Panku is one of the biggest headaches for mainstream archaeology to explain. So how would an ancient culture, one which was far less capable than modern man, cut shape and transport from many miles away, carvings out of some of the world's toughest stone accomplished with such incredible precision? A group able to transport blocks of stone, sometimes weighing far more than 50 tons to the site, effortlessly placing them in position, often using a placement technique indicative of polygonal methodology. Interestingly, after investigating possible causes for this characteristic, it was realized that the building material was not granite, as it had long been assumed, but was in fact andesite. Andesite is the most iron-rich volcanic material we are aware of. It can contain around 15% iron oxide, and can have up to 4% magnetite. Thus, the stone, it seems, could have already been displaying magnetic characteristics when placed where it now lay. Yet the question still persists. Why did this stone get selected as the building material for the temple? It was built by a civilization that brought the stone from many miles away, so the suggestion that it was the only stone available would not be a logical conclusion. It was chosen by a group who were seemingly meticulous in their application. So it is quite possible that the magnetic characteristic was somehow utilized by the builders. Thankfully, it is only a matter of time before Puma Panku's secrets are fully understood, and we finally discover who built it. It is a place we find highly compelling.
