So, I want to talk to you about this project that I've been working on for the past two years, and it ultimately took the form of a text adventure game.  Okay, great. I don't have to explain that. So, I thought I'd be really mad to give my presentation in the form of a text adventure game. So, let's just start off right here. So, it's, okay, there you go. I'm part of an arts collective called Redoc. We're based in Manchester in Liverpool, and about two years ago, we were asked by this organization called FACT in Liverpool to pitch for the first digital commission, the first commission for a project called Network Narratives, and it was about young people in libraries in Wigan, Berlin Hall, and it was, and we decided, okay, we're going to get paid to pitch for it, so let's do it. And this is actually online, so you can go through the games if you want. You can just do that if you don't want to. So, this was the aim of the whole project. It's how do you get young people to work with art and technology in three towns that are very deprived? And we've done a lot of stuff in libraries before. There's some past projects that we've done that you can look at, but we always want to push ourselves, so, all right, so what can we do? This is, by the way, this is how we first start brainstorming for any project. Can we do a swan wave? No? Okay, what else can we do? All right, so I want to kind of do this interactive thing with you, so there's three choices. You are in charge, where should we go? So these are the three ideas, well, okay, this is not really an idea, but these are the two choices we had, B, okay, but actually we don't want to do this because there's already code clubs, there's lots of makers who do stuff like this, and lots of libraries have computers and people who don't know how to use them, and you don't really need to do that. I thought that there were also a lot of existing groups who were doing this, and I was really getting sick of trying to get everyone to program as well, so that's a bad idea. So we're going to go back to this one, and that's what, so the main idea that I thought was, we really wanted to use the idea that we're in a library, and even, we've been involved in library projects for a really long time, and they were all about digital making. It was learn Photoshop, learn Arduino or stop motion, make a movie, and you kind of forgot like the reason libraries exist is so you can read books, borrow books, and have time to contemplate being solitary and this kind of stuff.  That's like ultimately, I want this to be a good project, so okay, let's try to get rid of, let's try to make it as easy as possible, and get them to write a text adventure game. And I was, so yeah, okay, let's do that. They can do something that they've never heard of, or know about, okay, so. So part of my inspiration for this was the idea of connecting the three towns together, and this was, and I really like the tile map of the Northern network in Victoria Station in Manchester. I thought, okay, this is going to be my starting off point to get the kids to think about how the north is connected to, okay, yeah, so I'm not from here. So the north, it has its own identity, and I really wanted to know what the kids who lived there, who've gone up there all their lives, thought about it, and really it was for them to tell me what the north is about. Why is this happening in the kind of midst of the austerity cuts, and a lot of libraries were, they had their budgets cut, and part of the reason that this project was funded was because we were working in these three towns that were very deprived. You know, you need to bring culture to these areas according to the Arts Council. So on top of making this one game, I also wanted to make tangible things, and if you've played these games before, you know about the feelies, right, so they really bring the fictional world to life, so I also wanted them to think about that when they were making the game. So okay, that's what we're going to do, I'll also let you say, okay, so that's the idea, let's pitch it, should we do A or B, okay, so yay, we got it, it was one of the most terrifying pitches I've ever done because it was to the actual young people, and even though I do a lot of stuff with young people, I still find them like a bit of an alien species, so you'll notice that I've always bolded the young people and they're always capitalized as well, because they are a bit of their own kind of thing, so alright, so this is how we were going to do it, we're going to have a summit to decide the genre that everyone is going to work in, because it had to be one story and they all had to make it at least coherent, if not a good good story, so alright, okay, and then we decided, okay, how are we going to get them to write this story, and the way to do that was to break down the steps of creating a narrative, so we were going to do a mapping project so that the kids can see where they live in a different way, the writing, okay, so that's it, so now we have to go to the first summit, which was in Hull, and these, okay, yeah, so I know one of the hardest things about this project was that, even though I had a year to do it, logistically it was a nightmare because it's, the North is not very well connected, do you know, and Hull is like really far away from everywhere else, that the consensus had to be done online, mostly, so I did a lot of Google Forms, and so I sent out a survey in advance, and kind of predictably, because most of them are teenagers, the young people, they wanted to do a dystopian future, a sci-fi, that's the genre they're really into at the moment, so there's our, yeah, yeah, we do that, so and then I did a questionnaire after they've chosen the genre to kind of get it down to some base grounds, because you can't have aliens and zombies at the same time, well you could, but it would just be crap story, and again that was my main concern with the overall project that was going to be a really bad story, so you can actually go and look at the questionnaire, so it had stuff like how far in the future do you want it to be, what kind of things that you do you want to do, yeah, oh yeah, sure, so it was kind of like this, and these scenarios that I made up based on what the kids were saying that they were interested in, and also what sort of technology they wanted to think about sort of cultural social aspects, so that's how we came up with these ground rules, so they wanted to be set 50 in the future, I thought it was interesting that they wanted to explore a world that they would still be alive in, and also I was a little bit surprised that none of them thought about climate change, so those are the ground rules that everyone agreed to, and then from that on you could do whatever you want as long as you follow these, okay, so then we went to, now it's on to the first workshop, now I wanted everyone to, so part of the project you also had to teach them some skills and workshop, and I wanted to bring in as many people as possible to do the best people that I knew to do the specific strands of the workshops, so for the very first one I wanted to do a kind of mapping exercise, and I let somebody else do it, so let's just see how the one in, where do you want to go, should we go, see the first, Burnley, so the DIY mapping workshop was a GoPro on a giant helium balloon, and this allowed the kids to kind of lead where, where was mapped for them to get an idea that where they live could be interesting, and to show us where they'd like to go and what sort of areas that they hang out in, and also to think about, because they already knew they were gonna create a world that was 50 years in the future, what would this place look like 50 years from now, and yeah, and also it is as the first workshop it was fun, it was like an active thing, it's not something you think you could do in a library, and I forgot to mention, like when we did the summit, every time we introduced ourselves, I sort of had this thing where you, I gave you name tags, but you didn't write your name, you wrote a fictional character, so you had an alter ego for that day, it was kind of to get them to the mindset of thinking about a fictional world, so you could see, I don't, I mean I changed all the time, I think I was Henry Higgins in this one, and it depended on like what was going on, and I believe I was Phineas Fogg when I was doing this one, and then I'll just show you, so that's an image from the camera on the top, so it was really nice for the kids to kind of start thinking about an alternative version of reality, and then we went to Hall, it all went well until Hall, this is the balloon, we're still waiting, I was hoping, like I did ask Hall Radio if they could put out an announcement to see if anyone found the balloon, but it might be between the seas here and the Netherlands, anyway, so they've done this bit, and all these workshops were about a month apart, because they had to be repeated three times, and the map making, so this is starting to crystallize what you've done, okay, where should we go? Okay, I heard Wigan first, we're gonna Wigan, so we take, so Neil did this bit, so he took some of the footage and we started creating an alternative map, giant and points of interest based on where they've been and what kind of new landmarks they would like, and this is the point when they started thinking as a group, okay, I think this place should be like this, or I'm interested in looking at kind of the stuff like that, so this is where Burnley decided that they were gonna be overrun by robots, and that humans, I mean the story kind of evolved after a while, but they were really interested in this idea that robots had taken over Burnley and there was an underground human resistance trying to overthrow the robot overlords, so you can see sort of the process of what's going on, wait, this is oh, alright, Burnley, sorry, the other one was Wigan, oh, just by the way, before, okay, sorry, and this is Hall, just a thing about Wigan, so even though we laid the ground rules and I said everyone has to stick to this, okay, and I had a wiki that everyone could look at and said you have to follow these rules, Wigan didn't want to follow the rules, so they decided to drop a nuclear bomb in the city, they really wanted to do a Mad Max-type world where there were lots of weapons, but you know the young people are leading it so we kind of incorporated it to it, so, but I was actually, and while I was doing this, the thing that surprised me most was even though we started off in the same ground rules, the three cities and they're all in the north and they're all deprived, Hall wasn't as deprived as Burnley or Wigan, and I think this is because before we started this project, I think a year or two years before they were nominated as the city of culture, so there was a lot more investment going on, and Hall had kind of the younger groups, like Lower End, so I think like 13 was the youngest group, so I think they've not seen, they've just seen a lot of investment in their city, so I think like yeah, it's pretty well, it's gone pretty well, so why wouldn't it continue that way 50 years in the future, so nothing kind of plastic has happened in Hall and actually it's really thriving and their dystopia was mainly around the evil corporations who are doing experiments on humans and the school system where everyone had to go, I have to say most of the stories were kind of creeped from the hunger games, Game of Thrones, and the hunger games, especially in Hall, but maybe not as violent, okay, so we did that, then the next month we did the writing bit, and this was kind of exciting, because this is where you actually started seeing bits of the story crystallizing, some characters coming up, some plots being made, and all the kids had to work together to do it, and it was like a lot of negotiation, so honestly a lot for a lot of the workshop leaders, it was a case of just being kind of a chaperot or a guy and making sure their voices were heard, and they actually did stuff, like write stuff down, so what happens to Wigan, you can see from some of the writings, the Wigan lot were a little bit problematic, because of a lot of circumstances, the library partners weren't able to support us as much as they thought they would be when this bit was originally written, and it had a lot of has to do with the cut, so we just couldn't get enough kids to come to the library, when we're trying to recruit kids to take part of this, there weren't any in the Wigan library, so we had to go to the youth zone, and that's very different, there was just a different type of kids who go to the youth zone, then the kids who would sign up to work on a project that's initiated from the library, the ones who come from the libraries, like Burnley and Hall, they were all really bookish, they liked actually reading, and some of them liked writing, they wanted to, they thought of writing as maybe a career option, whereas the Wigan kids weren't like that, so I think that's why they wanted to bomb the city, it was really to get lots of insights into how the kids are thinking about where they live, by giving them the space safe of fiction to explore their current circumstances, so we did that, and then, and the other thing that we did was we tried to kind of create a system that, or like strand their bits of stories together into a coherent thing, so that it would make sense, so like, I keep going back to Wigan, but one of the things, they're just like, nothing's available anymore, there's been fallout, so how are you going to communicate, what do the people who are left, how do they do stuff, and we kind of gave them hints, or kind of tried to help them along, so the solution for how people communicate in Wigan, because there's a lot of technology dead zones, was the tried and tested method of teletext, and you'll see some of that later. So after that, you got the story, now it's on to the actual building bit, and there was one tool that we were looking at from the beginning, which is twine, this is how I made this presentation in, and it's a really powerful tool for interactive fiction, if you're thinking not in the classic XORC type of games, you can't actually type in words, it's more hypertext, it's kind of like surfing Wikipedia, but as a story, but it's really good for mapping out stories and making a good way for the kids, especially. So this one was from Glenn and Ross, who was going to help with all the feelies or what I termed artifacts. So let's go hold this time. So now the thing with, I don't know if you work with young people, but one of the things is, aside from being delightful, is that they're really unpredictable, you can't count on them to do anything. And that's fine, so you work within those confines. But one of the things is they don't do any homework.  So even though we said, what kind of objects do you want to make? This is your world already created. They actually had some ideas, but not really. So I have lots of, because I was working with so many artists, I had an artist who was taking, who saw everything and decided to come up with some prototypes to show that maybe the kids could use it starting jumping off point. And one of them, I think, was this emoji glove. This is how people communicate in the future.  But there's a whole reason for this. It's because you can't, the human resources needs to find a way to communicate without the robots knowing what they're talking about. So this is one form of thing. And I find, yeah, and also the kids already communicate through emojis, so it seemed like natural that they would use this as an evolution of language. What is this? That's whole. Okay. Yes. Oh, and also we also played some text adventure games, and this is when I realized a lot, the penny dropped for a lot of them, because I don't think they knew what we were doing until this point when they played Merlin's Castle. Also for the partners and the companions. A lot of them, when I said text adventure games, a lot of them thought it had to do with mobile phones. So that's all the workshops finished. So what do we do now? We'll have another summit where all the kids can meet again, because when you were doing all the workshops in isolation, naturally the kids were only thinking about what's happening in their city, what kind of social changes there are, what kind of food they have, what they eat for dinner. They weren't really thinking about how the stories can connect, so we really needed to have an opportunity for them to see each other and also see how to link the projects, but also to meet the other young people. They've only seen each other through the wiki. And also tie up all the loose ends to the stories. And this was really, really difficult, because some of the kids were more inclined to making stuff. Others were like really liked writing and they just wouldn't start up. But also to have links and crossovers, and I really wanted them to think about what it's like, how the North can have an identity and why one person from Hull might visit Wigan, or why someone from Burnley would try to seek communication with somewhere with Wigan or Hull. And I think it worked, it went well. I mean no one died. Yeah, and then, yeah, so this is like six or seven months from the project starting. And then Glenn finished writing the master twine file. Ross made all the artifacts. And a nice thing for this project that I thought, besides having the game online so anyone could play this, there was also a touring exhibition of the artifacts that would go through all the libraries. And it's currently showing now. And like nobody knew what to call this game either. We're just calling it text adventure time, which is what I was calling the project. Partly so the kids would like it. I don't know if you watch adventure time. So while we came over the name in the end, it's called Northern Powerhouse, last town standing. And there's a there's a map of the game. A lot of them did have maps. I have loads of brochures so you can pick them up later. So you can see there's a timeline of critical events that explains what happened up to the year 2065. I'm just gonna tell you just a highlight is in 2025, the singularity happened and Iris, which is kind of like Siri but backwards, becomes sentient and takes over all forms of electronic communication. Then 10 years later, there's a nuclear explosion in Wigan. In 2042, a laser fence is erected around Burnley and it's re-Christian robot Burnley. And there are vats where humans are grown. You can either be from alpha, beta, or omega vat. And you have to wear a badge to say which vat you were grown in. In Hall, Hall was pretty nice. There's a big company called Future Gen that run the town basically. They are in charge of the AI industry and the biotech industry. They also have evil headquarters under the Humber. And all the kids go to, if you're lucky or privileged, you have to go to the education center where you learn not to ask about the book. And actually this is a school badge. This is one of the school badges. The logo is a hybrid of a goat and a spider. If you know your bioengineering legends, this was one of the first spliced animals. They put spider proteins with goats. Anyway, that's their school mascot. So, yeah, it all came together and then we had to launch in Burnley. Oh my god, this project took so long. So obviously, yeah, I was very happy to do this. Yes. And, yeah, so after Burnley went to Hall, another library in Hall, that was in Leeds two months ago. It's in Akrinton now. It's going to Eccleson and say Helen's next and then beginning next year, I'll come back to Liverpool where it will be finished. So you can go see it. Please do. So that's how I made the know-the-powerhouse, a reality ahead of George Osborne. So you might be asking or not, but you have two choices. So what have I done after this project and why I did text adventure games? So I'm just going to say A or B. So, yeah, so doing this, what have I done? Yeah, so I've done interactive fiction. Obviously, the next step is interactive non-fiction. And I really like the idea of exploring. So when we do this project, I did get what I wanted from the project.  I don't know if it's a good story, but I know it's not a shit story. So I'm happy with that one. And I really liked working with some of the artists, Ross and Glenn in particular. So we really liked the idea of using interactive fiction to explore other ideas and concepts. Kind of similar to the way I was able to find out what the kids thought about where they live and where they'd like to be by using design fiction in a way. So, yes, we created a little band called Domestic Science that we're going to use. And we've done a project in a International Trust property, Ray Castleup, in the Lake District, to explore radio communication and freshwater biology through text adventure games. So you can see that there. And I ran a workshop for librarians in an arts and libraries conference. And I was really surprised that there weren't more arts collectives or people running workshops and libraries that had to do with writing or books or reading. Like, everyone's, I know every, like, I love makers. I'm a maker myself, but I don't think everyone has to be a maker. You can't force kids to all be makers the same way you shouldn't force all kids to be programmers. So, yeah, and again I used this format to talk to the librarians there. I did a murder mystery and I'm here now. Okay, so do you want to know why I'm doing this? Okay, so like I said, not everyone has to be a programmer and I just, because I've been, I have been dealing with a lot of young people and I just see a lot of pressure from school, from parents or peers that you need to learn how to code, you need to learn how to program in order to be a valuable member of society or at least make some money. And I just don't think that's true. And there's such a skills barrier, there's such a barrier to entry if you're running these kind of workshops only in libraries or schools or whatever and reading and writing is such a basic skill, like you don't really need that much to be able to start making a text adventure game. And it's really, so it was really, it was really great for me to see the kids just start thinking about things and just go it, going at it, which like coding, even with scratch, I know scratch is really, but there's still the barrier and this just like eliminates a lot of that. It's still digital as well, I think there's other skills that were imparted to the young people while we're doing this, that aren't necessarily digital skills or technical skills, like negotiating, brainstorming, like coming up with ideas as a group, which doesn't, I don't think that happens a lot especially if you know that you have to work towards one goal of creating a coherent narrative. What else? Oh yeah, I also like twine a lot, so it's, yeah, and if you haven't found, if you've never come across this I really encourage you to look into it and there's loads and loads of stories and I think the other thing about interactive fiction or text adventure games is that because of this, because of twine, it's such a low barrier of entry, there's a lot of non-traditional people making games, like exploring things that are not about killing zombies. So there's this really lovely one called Depression Quest which is also built on twine that looks into what it's like to have to live with depression in a way that you would get from so much more than just reading something about it. So you start to really empathize it and narrative is so powerful in doing that. So yeah, please take one of these if you want and I'll give you the URL so you can play this game and explore all the other dead ends if you'd like later. Okay, thanks.


Let's talk about one of the most useful power tools that you can put in your workshop, a retractable electric cord reel. Ola would work here's Paul Carson here, small workshop guy. In a very small workshop it can be difficult to reach your electrical outlets behind your various tools on the walls and so one of the best things that I have done and I didn't think it would be all that useful but I find out I use it all the time and that's the proof of the pudding right if you use it all the time then it must be something that works. I added a retractable electric cord reel this particular one I think the name has changed now I got it off of Amazon I'll put a link down below but this particular one is a 20-foot retractable I researched and researched and researched these and this is the one that I thought looked the best and it turned out I'm awfully happy with it. It comes with a pull down cord that literally when you're talking about a small workshop like mine it will reach every corner with ease so if I have a particular power tool that I'm carrying around to do different things with I can keep it plugged in and easily reach. This will even if I open the garage door and I need a circular saw or something out in the driveway this will easily reach out into that area just outside of my big garage door so very very handy but I have to admit I use it all the time just for tools that you would think I would plug into the wall somewhere but in a small workshop you don't always want to have your electrical plugged in the wall because then it's something you might want to walk over and trip over so having this available to plug in right here and I tend to pull it all the way down so that I can see it and I don't run into it that's very visible for me and it easily retracts of course now we're on film so it won't retract this time because that's the way filming is but anyway pull down or release and it retracts comes up nicely gets out of the way you definitely want to pull it up high enough because if you leave it down here where it's reachable you'll run into that puppy time after time after time this has four different circuits on it so I have converted one plug in the ceiling to four plugs that are very very flexible and reach anywhere so and these actually even have a little circuit breaker on them as you can see and I think I've only tripped it once so highly recommend it I'll put a link down below and consider putting one in your workshop uh just an idea to help you out in your small workshop guy small workshop guy hoping you'll stay safe in your workshop signing off


What's up guys Michael here with Jaspies, and we are here with our last break of the night It is a 2023 Don Ra's football three-box break two random teams each and tonight only we're giving away two free spots and Steve snatched up those last two to sell this thing out, so thank you to this group here We're gonna do the randomizer to see who gets two free spots Nick is a great dude. Yes. He is here. We go One of the and one of the three so four times top two names.

That's for Nicholas Yeah, I'll be like, yo, did you hear about or work? Did you hear about whatever happened at blah blah blah? He'll be like, yeah, I was there. I was like well All right box one Yeah, yeah, and I play Xbox with him too all the time and Whatever, uh, whatever we're on I could just hear like the police radio in the background because he just likes to listen to it When he's off for fun, which I guess is like me watching breaks when I'm not working And the best is like if we're hanging out and he'll be like how's work you pull any cool cards recently And I'll be like how's work? Have you got did you get shot at recently Byron young no name? Addison Kirk E. Oh Richardson exactly Rex Kevin Byrd skips Chuba Hubbard to a hundred Kenneth Walker to five hundred. Oh, it's yet Cole pepper Mimsy was B. John Bryce young Tyree Wilson hooker All right first hit Jalen Hurts all pro-kings to 300 or 399 Jersey patch there. That's going to Cody and the Eagles. I mean we should have an autograph, right? I'm starting to get nervous Mari Cooper to a hundred Clayton tune. All right, this is Not good be it We get shorted Take a look through the bass stack again. See if I miss anything. I hear a Byron, I hear like the number one way that people get or not number one way, but one of the ways people get caught is like Like they ask you to do something and then they respond like I can't even do that if I was sober Like all right. Well, you're saying you're drunk then Unfortunately, it does look like we got shorted guys. We got panini. That is annoying. It's not it may be on the TV rex It was that or men in black two in Spanish should turn down so we don't get in trouble What am I doing?

I just want a little something from you about politics, and reminisce a little about the good moments, maybe how you do it a little bit. You are certainly one of the most successful politicians of this age, and I just wanted to get your secret. Let me ask a few questions about it. It has been fun, hasn't it? This whole political life of yours that came after your other career. Yes, yes. I must say, I could give an example. I really was dragged kicking and screaming into it. It was contrary to anything I thought I'd ever want to do, and I was very happy in the entertainment world doing what I was doing, but only a few months after we found ourselves in Sacramento when I was the governor, Nancy and I found ourselves in the living room one night saying that all of a sudden this made anything we'd ever done before. Look, it's Dulles' Dishwater. What is it about it? You like the crowd, the audiences, or what? Well, if you're show people, you automatically like people, and that's the stock in trade. But no, I think it was that I'd always believed that you pay your way. So even when I was in show business, I campaigned for candidates and causes that I believed in and taking advantage of the fact that the recognition from being in show business meant that I could help attract people to fundraisers and so forth. And I thought that was that you participated. And I think one of the things that finally, because I inherited a bad situation in Sacramento when I took over some things that really needed was almost a kind of mess I inherited here. But to all of a sudden find yourself not, you know, I've always said to you that if you don't sing or dance in Hollywood, you wind up as an after-dinner speaker. So my personal appearances were usually speaking things. And I did my own speeches and spoke on the subjects I wanted to talk on. And more and more, I was being very critical of government and some of the policies. But then to find yourself able to deal with them instead of just talk about them, that's what I think created the excitement. What was your best, has been your best moment over these, I guess, almost 20 years? Is there any one thing that stands out where suddenly the gratification became apparent, the political life? Oh, golly, I think it's been such an ongoing thing that I can't... Any speech that you felt was better than that. Did you have a State of the Union or acceptance speech at a convention or what? Well, there was a speech before I ever believed that I would ever get involved in politics. And that was the speech that I made on behalf of Barry Goldwater. Oh, yes. That speech. And that was just very shortly before the election. And it was on a group of donors had asked me to make the campaign speech I'd been making and at gatherings throughout California on the air. So they bought the time and I went on NBC and did this speech. Was that before the convention? No, this was just a few days before the election. Before the election? I've been up and down the state campaigning for it. And they had heard this at a dinner, heard me speak and wanted me to make that speech nationwide. And I did. And I must say, yes, talk about a thrill. You know, there was some question of the part of some of his staff at that late point as if maybe that time could be better used with something that they had. And there wasn't anything I could do about that because this time had been bought by this group of citizens. And I couldn't cancel out, but then I went to bed after I'd done the speech, very concerned and worrying, you know, who was I in the face of the candidate and his staff and so forth to go on and do this when they thought there could be better use of the time. Right around midnight, which had to be about three o'clock in the morning here, I got a call from his campaign manager telling me that the switchboards were still lighted up and the pledges were coming in. And that had to be a high spot in my whole career. I see. How can you possibly like this matter of campaigning, the hours, the flights, such a grueling thing? Yes, it is. Has it gotten too much so? Well, there's no question about that. But at the same time, I have to tell you that here again, show business blessed me. For eight years, doing the General Electric Theater, a part of that job called for about ten weeks a year of personal appearances in the cities and the locales where General Electric was represented. They have plants in 139 plants in something like 39 states. And I visited every one of them. And I personally met a quarter of a million employees. And they would, in addition to my doing that and touring the plants, they liked Ralph Cordner, their chairman. He was one who believed in the decentralization. And he wanted his managers of those plants and those various communities to become part of the community of life. So they would make me available then on those tours for speeches, for appearances, for whatever they thought would be helpful in their areas and their communities. That's when you got in shape, huh? Eight years of it. And I learned an awful lot about traveling and doing that. And I used to take a lot of pride in the fact that sometimes before I left the town there, by that time the executive staff of the General Electric plant would be saying, when are you going to get out of here? But when you get up before an audience, particularly as president, do you still read the crowd? Do you have rules of behavior? Can you tell how to pitch your speech, your gestures? Well, no, I just always believe there's some sound rules about speech making. One of them, you try to open with an audience catcher. That's why I love to find a joke that can open a speech with. And then you tell them what you're going to tell them. And then you tell them. And then you tell them what you've told them. I love it. I love the rules of the road there. What would you advise George Bush to do about this campaign?  No, not any. That's up to him. Yes, I think that would be kind of bold on my part. Do you see this campaign as being different from any that you've been through before? Well, I think the main difference as I see it is the fact that the conventions are going to be held and yet everybody knows of the candidate. And this is only fairly recent. We didn't used to have nationwide primaries. And so, yes, candidates would be out there campaigning, but they would be aiming themselves at the coming convention. And then most of those conventions would be suspenseful because that's where the decision was going to be made. And sometimes it was a very close call. But now, in this convention, there has to be a whole different tone. It's one of mobilizing your troops, but the decision has been made. You know in advance who the candidate is going to be. The only thing that's left undecided is who's going to be the Vice President. Yeah, a little suspense there on that sort of thing. Television bigger than ever, I gather. Yes, because I think television gives us back something that our size has taken away from us, and that is back when the term stump speaking, what did that mean? It meant that the candidate went out and he got up on a stump or whatever was handy or the back end of a wagon or something to speak face to face with the people to see them and get acquainted. But today, with 240 million Americans, there's no way a candidate can do that. But television offers you that. You can come right into their living rooms now and address them. And that, in my way of thinking, that has restored us back to the day where the candidate could actually meet the people face to face. There have been a good deal of kind of personal references in this campaign so far. Is it up to get bitter? I can't remember that yours was in the past. You didn't have. Your campaigns were fairly elevated, weren't they? They weren't personal references that much. Well, I've always believed in you talking about what it is you want to do and what you believe. But the out party kind of centers in on dragging down, well, for a time when it was the incumbent, but now our candidate. Well, does that to be worse this time? There seems to be something of a tone of that, but I don't think it's going to be on our side. Although I do believe that we have a legitimate right to correct the facts or the statements about the qualifications of the other candidate or his record if it has been misstated. What was the most important thing looking back over your campaigns? Was it to keep the theme pure or was it the pace of the campaign? What were some of those things that you concentrated on? Well, I thought that you had to sell the people on what it was you were going to do and what you believed should be done and campaign from that. That's why something out of those eight years of General Electric also happened to me when I first ran for governor. My campaign people came to me and they were telling me some things that the opposition was saying that I was an actor and therefore I was only used to reading scripts. And sure I made a good speech, but who wrote the speech? Well, at that time I always wrote the speech, I had plenty of time to do it and I always did that. They'd always been that mind when I was out of the mashed potato circuit. And they wanted to know how we were going to counter this. Well, I said you can't go around saying, hey, I write my speeches. So I said I'll tell you what we can do. This was my first experience out. I said whether the audience is 30 or 3,000, why don't I shorten my remarks and then open the session to question and answer. Now they may think that somebody wrote that speech, but they know that nobody can write the answers I have to give to questions that I'm hearing for the first time. And this is the way we campaigned. Well, the funny thing is we all learned something very special from that. Not only did I do this and I say give the answers, but very shortly I knew what the questions were from one end of the state to the other, speaking in the auditoriums and so forth. You'd find the same questions coming to you up in Northern California and thus you learned what the issues really were. These were the things of concern to the people.  Remember that first debate in Louisville? Yes. In that first one, I think we were over. I was overcoached. I think we took it so seriously that we... You came back in the next one. Well, in the next one, we changed our policy a little bit there. But I mean, this idea that one-liners or a thrust like that has so much power in the campaign. Well, yes. Does that bother some? No. In fact, I profited by one of that second campaign. And that was when that first question came at me from the press. You remember we're asking the questions. And that first question about was age going to be a factor, a consideration in this campaign. Oh, I know you came back. You were ready for that. I said, no, sir, there's no way that I will make the youth of my opponent become an issue in this campaign and his lack of experience.  I mean, you must enjoy that sense of competition or going up against another person. Well, yes, there has to be some of that, yes. You can't just go out there with some kind of a standard thing and think that that's... You have to be... Maybe that's something again from show business. You have to be able to read the audience and respond where you think it's necessary. And sometimes you goof. Like I've just been penalized here recently for that joking statement that I made about someone's health. And sometimes that will happen. And it really was true. It slips out. It wasn't 15 minutes until I knew I shouldn't have said that. I see. You never quite get over that, huh? No. I see. Ms. President, the speeches are so important, can you do it with one speech or even two speeches or is it just the constant throughout all of those months, repeating the themes and that? Well, one thing is that, of course, for the most part, you're not on national television making a speech to the people and they're going to get the media's interpretation of it in a very limited way. So yes, you have to stick to what you know is the theme. You want the people to hear. And so if it's here in Chicago today and you're in Cincinnati tomorrow, pretty much, yes, the same speech. And I have to say here is where a bias in the media has to come into consideration. But for example, I made a speech some time ago that was on television. And our pollster, who I think is the best in the country, found that two-thirds of the people who heard that speech had a positive reaction to it. And about one-third, no, they weren't impressed. Then he did a poll of people who had not heard the speech but who had only read or heard about it in the media. Two-thirds of them didn't approve of it and one-third of them didn't approve of it. So that has to come from the way it is. Well, this comes back to your theory about television, where you can get on the stump and you see, look them in the eye. That's present. That's great. That's what I'm doing. Well, listen, my roommate told you to give you her very best. Okay, that's terrific. Yeah, I... And, incidentally, I don't want to accuse you of bias or anything, but recently some of the talk shows in which you participate, I have come away with a warm feeling in my heart for you. Well, Mr. President, it's just unbelievable, sometimes we'll talk about that there is a terrible bias about giving you credit for what's happening in the world. I know. About 30 years, I've never seen anything like this, all over the movement towards peace. And you know, we can't give any single person total credit, but your policy of strength and the willingness to use it, I think that's the main ingredient of why these people have finally changed their views about things. I mean, I just can't deny it. The bottom line is there. I think history is going to give you credit for it, but right now it's a little tough in a campaign, I'll tell you there. Yes. Well, pretty hard on it. I'm most grateful. You have been fair. Oh, I hope so. Yeah. No, I... I told... I wrote Cap Weinberger when he retired. I said, my dad was in World War I, and he used to tell stories about being on the front in the armistice. My uncle went through Bellowwood, you remember those names, you betcha. I was in the Army at the end of World War II. My brother was in it, my cousins. I had a cousin that went to Korea, and I had another cousin that flew in Vietnam. For the first time in 70 years, I got a kid who was a boy who turned 18. For the first time in 70 years in my family, no 18-year-old faces a war or the prospect of the draft or confrontation in this world. Now, I don't know who you credit with, but that's pretty good. I say the bottom line is good. Okay. Thank you. I know it. Yeah. Yep, right in behind. That's not bad though. Anyway, listen, good luck.  So I'll be... I'll be... Keep mine. I'm going to New Orleans to California myself. Is that right? Yeah. Okay.


Okay, so right here is where it's all, this is where it's all, this is what it's all about right here. This is what I call step one, just when you click that green button, this is where everyone gets it wrong. So those that are in the business of capturing leads, it's conversions. That's what you wanna be doing is conversions, none of the other ones. Lead generation is what some agents run, lead generation, because they don't have a landing page. So they'll use lead generation, use Facebook's form. There's just way more steps involved. That's why I never use lead generation. So I only use conversions. That's the only one for capturing leads. Traffic isn't gonna capture leads, engagement, video views, messages, brand awareness, none of the other ones, it's just conversions. So that's all you gotta do right there is click conversions and then scroll down and then you'll see the ability to title your three tabs. There's just these three tabs. Exit of this real quick. All we're gonna do is go through the walkthrough of each tab, campaigns, ad sets, add. That's it. That's all there is to it, Dee. There's nothing else too. That's why it's so simple. You're gonna learn, you'll learn it on this one. We're recording this one. So you'll eventually get this one on this one because it's really this simple. Click the green button, conversions and then just title each one. So each tab has a title. So you go conversions, hit the dropdown or go, no, no, no, go down and then just hit the dropdown right there and then just name them. So the way I name them is the campaign. I'll do that number two or whatever, like home styling ideas number two and then in parentheses, conversions. And then the ad set title could be maybe just the location that we're targeting. That could be a title for conversions. And then the ad set, the title for that could just be Oklahoma city. And then the title for the ad could be the same as the first one, home styling ideas number two. Same thing. That's it. That is the beginning of step one which is the campaign tab.  And over here, all we're gonna do is hit the dropdown, special ad categories and go down to housing. That's it. That's all for step one D. That's the campaign tab. That's it.  That's it. That's step one. So now over here, step two, all we're gonna do is go with our targeting, our budget, we're gonna set the calendar. And that's it. So we already named it Oklahoma city website is already filled the blue dot. And then down here, you choose your event which is your conversion event which is our custom conversion, FSBO leads. That's our custom conversion. So that's fine. Your conversion is enacted. That's fine. To make it active, all you do is just go to your cartura and open up the thank you page but we can do that later. So dynamic creative, you don't have to worry about offering, you don't have to worry about budget and schedule. That's where you just go in and put the budget.  I don't know what your budget is but whatever it is, just run it for seven days and then look at the numbers. Look at the numbers on the sixth day. That's how we always wanna look at this. And that's why we should really schedule a call every week. Like once a week, let's set up a call where we review this ad, which would be on the sixth day, we're reviewing this together and we're setting the ad for the next week. That could all be done on one call once a week. I can easily do that. Are you all okay with that? I'm good with that, yeah. Yeah, we could do that. Because again, what I really get out this as well is the content for YouTube because I'm gonna continue to build my YouTube channel. That's where I'm all in on. I'm all in on YouTube and that's where this content goes. So you're actually helping me as well. So don't think you're taking my time. We're actually using this as content. So right here, lifetime, go lifetime budget and then just put whatever, put the 70, put 70 and run it for the next seven days. Lifetime budget, that's $10 a day. And then you just set the start date, the end date and you want each one to be 4 a.m., that's Pacific time. So always start it for the next day. We'll go 4 a.m. and we'll go June, June 5th. So are you, so again, I say this every time. What's the one day? Is it Saturday, that every, you know, that's what we're gonna do today. That's, it is what it is, that's what it is. Every Saturday, a new ad goes live. You and I, we're gonna talk every Friday. So for the next however many, like let's just plan it out. We'll schedule them, I'll get you on the calendar right now. We'll schedule the next four Fridays where we're reviewing the ad and we're setting the next one live. Okay. So this one, this goes live tomorrow, June 5th, 4 a.m., run it for seven days. We are going to talk on the sixth day, which would be Friday, perfect. 4 a.m., 4 a.m., perfect. So we scroll down, we're not gonna retarget any custom audiences right now. And in fact, let's exclude, go ahead and exclude the custom audience for leads. Because there's already been some leads I've came in. So let's exclude them now. Go ahead and click exclude. Yep, click exclude. And then go ahead and click inside the box and exclude that audience, which would be leads. Leads, yeah, leads having scheduled appointment. Yeah, you can go with that one. Okay, so perfect. So some people using iOS, that's fine. Excluded from the audience, okay, perfect. Okay, so click out of that. That's who you're excluding. You're always going to exclude your FSBO leads, okay? So scroll down, change the United States, put in your city and we're gonna stay focused on the same 15 mile radius.  So people living in this location is what you'll always wanna go with, people living in this location. Hit the drop down again. It's people living in this location. Oh, I didn't realize I said living in or recently. Yeah, yeah, that's a big difference.  Dang it. I swear, these things, I need some glasses or something. Those little boxes are hard for me to see sometimes. And always go with the drop down, right? Always go with the drop down. So there's the area, there's the area. So let's scroll down. And now all we're gonna do is simply, we don't need age, we don't need gender, we don't need detail targeting, we don't need any of that. Languages, go ahead and change the languages to English and we'll just stay focused on the English. So just type in English and you'll see English all and always go with the drop down. So there's English all. We're gonna leave it automatic placement, scroll down and that's it, that's step 2D, that's it. There's nothing else to it, that's it, hit next. And then now we're on the third and final step. So all we wanna do is we already titled it. So there's already a title there at the top. Go ahead and connect your Instagram account, hit the drop down where the red triangle is at and just choose your Instagram. It's not gonna run on Instagram, but just go ahead and get rid of the red triangle, click it. Okay, so now we just scroll down, add setup.  That's where I was confused. I was like, man, how, what do we grab the post ad if we've already started creating the campaign for the ad? Okay. Select post right at the bottom, select post. And all you're gonna do is you're gonna, you're gonna make sure you're in the right page, which you, yeah, yeah, it's just one page. So yeah. I'm gonna run this one because I didn't like the other ones. Okay. So go with that one, click on that. Okay, perfect. So now, yeah, it can't be run on Instagram, that's fine. Okay, so now all you're gonna do is simply scroll down and add your button. So we'll scroll down, scroll down the call to action. Go ahead and add your button. So add button and that's your landing page. Oh. Okay, so this is your thank you page, right? Go back to your thank you page real quick. Go back to your thank you page. Okay, so as we were setting up the ad, I don't know if you remember, but on the ad set level, the second tab, it said your custom conversion is inactive. And it was because this page hasn't been visited in the past few days. So now what we did is we just opened up the page. So now it's active. So hit the pixel helper there in the top right. And this should read FSBO leads. So there's your custom conversion, so it's active. That's the pixel 6859 or 6869, I think that is. That's the pixel. So now you're good. So go back to the ad manager and or actually copy the link for the thank you page or the landing page, sorry. The thank you page. Oh, landing page. Yeah, right here. Yeah, this one, the landing page. So that's the link that goes in right there. And then you just simply update post. And then right here down, it'll show your pixel. So 6869, there's the right pixel. It's green under tracking. Yep. Yeah, and that's it. So go back up real quick. What's the red triangle?  Select, yeah, you already put that in. So you should be fine. So go ahead and scroll down. That button stuck, right? Yeah, there's the link right there. Next step, okay, that's fine. Called action require your campaign objective requires an external website URL. Yeah, it's like called action, Tentro website, yeah, that's fine. It's already there. I don't know why it's not reading it. But go ahead and hit publish. In that, yeah, everything should go green. I don't know why it was reading that. It didn't read the website, but it should. Yeah, perfect, okay, we're good. So now what you can do is you can just, you know, take a quick look at it in the newsfeed real quick, see what it looks like. Just hit that drop down to the very right, that square above the images right there. Yeah, so if you click on that, go down to Facebook desktop newsfeed and then you'll see it over here in the newsfeed. So as people start to scroll through tomorrow, what's that? I was just saying it allowed me to scroll to that option last time it wouldn't, it was weird. So yeah, you should be right here. Scroll down just a bit. It should be right, okay, X out real quick, just X out and sometimes what you have to do is you have to just, we went to it too fast. So go in X out to the top left, do X out to the top left, just X it out and then let it just, okay, so all edit saved. Okay, now go edit right here below the title. Click on edit. So home-selling ideas number two, right below that title, click on edit. It's like I don't see edit, I guess when you hover over the option pops up. Now hit the drop down to the right. Now we, now we, now we'll be able to see it. Okay, so if you scroll through, it should be like the second or third post down. Okay, scroll down, should be the second one. Yeah, there we go. Okay, so, and that image, that's obviously a good image, but you can tell it's horizontal shot, right? So you got the black borders on the right and left. Vertical. I mean vertical, vertical, yeah. So you wanna be doing horizontal from this point on because it looks like that. Yeah, I had always done horizontal but for some reason I had heard rumored that for whatever reason, people are gravitating to more vertical like the video. And so I tried it that way, but then when I uploaded it, I was like, ooh, I don't like that. Yeah, it looks like this on desktop, but on mobile, it looks normal on mobile because it's vertical on mobile. So what you can do, I mean, you can easily target only mobile and that video will look just like an IG video. It'll fit, it'll look good. But if you're targeting everyone, then those of us that are actually looking at Facebook on a desktop, that's just how we see it. Yeah. So it's all good, I mean, whatever, but you get, yeah, knowing the targeting, like knowing, okay, we're gonna only target Instagram or we're gonna only target mobile users. So let's only do a vertical video on this one. You know, knowing that beforehand would be good too. So in this case, we maybe should have only targeted mobile, but those are things to test in the future. You know, it's all good with this one, but had I known this prior, I would have probably only targeted mobile. But I mean, again, it's not a make or break. It don't even trip. It's not even a big deal, but just looking at the borders, you know, it doesn't look right, but it'll work, it'll work, it'll work for sure. So I can, I mean, if I can always cancel this out. No, no, no, it's gonna work. Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. But I'm just saying for the future, like make sure that you know which platform is gonna go on, which will allow you to know which way to shoot that video, vertical or horizontal. So it's- Now, like I said, I think I, you know, I've always preferred the horizontal, and I think I will continue to do that. Well, vertical is good too. I mean, vertical is good too. We could easily run a vertical video to Instagram, but it can't be more than one minute. So in the future, maybe do a vertical one and keep it under a minute and let's run it to only IG or we'll run it to only mobile users on Facebook.  This is the stage we're in right now. In the beginning, seeing what way works, you know? And so that right there, that's the full-blown walkthrough of a conversions ad. That's it. So now just X out real quick, X on the top left. No, no, no, not the tab. Just this X, yeah, right there. So click on the navigation bar, the three lines to the left, and just go to your audiences. And so right away, what you wanna do right away is set up a custom audience for that video if you haven't already. So the video goes, it posts on the business page first, which is what you did. Make sure that every single word is spelled correctly. There's no dot missing. There's no comma missing. Make sure that everything is perfect because the moment you come over here and set the ad, you can no longer edit the text. So post it on the business page first, making sure everything is perfect first. And then we come over here and we run the ad, which is what we just did. And then once we publish it, which is what we did, now it's in review, it's scheduled to go live tomorrow, then what we do right away is we come and set up the custom audience. So every video needs to have a custom audience. So click the blue button and go custom audience. And then all we're gonna do is simply, we're gonna go video. These are our custom audience. See what I was mentioning earlier regarding the title company and getting a list, that's customer list. So I can click on customer list and I can upload a list of people. And then I can turn around and make that either a custom audience that I retarget or I can simply, if it's a big enough list, I can give that list to Facebook and say, hey, turn this into a lookalike. That's customer list. And even people that have hundreds of, like people, but at the same time, a lot of us don't even have everyone's email. Like if you've been in the business for 10 years, do you really have an email list of all your past clients? Some do, some don't, most don't, most don't. Cause that's a long time and not everyone even, like we all keep record, good enough record, but if I say, okay, do you have every client that you've done business with in the past 10 years? Do you have all their emails? Most wouldn't have that. But if you did, then that could be gold right there. You take that list and upload it to the customer list and turn it into a lookalike. I do have a few and then there's some that I just kind of lost because I'm on system crash and so I can't get into it. But that's what it's all about is the lookalike audience. So in this case, we're gonna just do video, so hit next and then all we're gonna do is simply choose the percentage, which we're gonna go 15 seconds, which is a through play. So people who either completed or viewed at least 15 seconds. So we'll go with that one and then choose videos right then the top right, choose videos and then you'll just simply make sure you're in the right page and you'll find that video and then just give it a name and that's it. So I'll end up just naming it the same as I named the ad or maybe the title there, but hit confirm. So now we're gonna just simply go over here, the retention, that's fine, 365. Actually, you know what? I would change that 365 to, I mean, let's drop it to 45.  So if you watched it within the past 45 days, sometimes you may wanna go even lower. If you watched my video in the past 30 days, you're in this audience, you know? Because then when I retarget you, you'll at least somewhat still remember me. Even if you just watched it once or seen me once, you know, 30 days is good. So why don't you stick with that? Stick with 30 days for all your custom audiences on videos, 30 days, okay? And then the audience name, just give it the same name as the ad maybe. Homeselling tips number two or something like that, whatever you put, perfect. And then create audience and that's it. So this is what we're doing. We're building up these audiences. We're building up these audiences. And again, if that was an audience of a list, for example, 500 people who all purchased in the past year, then I would have just created it. Right here, I would click on create a lookalike. And that's it. Facebook goes and finds me a million more people that look just like them. Gotcha. You know? So go and click done and that's it. So that audience is set up. The conversion is set to go live and you and I were gonna chat every single Friday at this time. Okay. I'm gonna schedule it. I need to turn the ad off. The other one? Let's take a quick look. The green toggle button. So right here, you'll see in review. So that's in review the third tab. So this is already scheduled. What has already been approved is your special ad category, your conversion, that's the first tab that's already scheduled. It's already been approved. Click on the middle tab, ad sets. So this over here should be scheduled. It's already approved, your targeting, all that is good. And then now click on the third tab, ads. This will be the one that's in review. So now they're just reviewing the video, making sure there's no curse words and stuff like that. So that will go scheduled or you'll get an email later on today and that email will say your ad is scheduled or running. So let that run and we are going to talk next Friday, review it all and set up the next one. I'm gonna hold you accountable. We're gonna be consistent.  I will. So schedule it, right? Schedule it or just make a mental schedule, but I'll schedule it on my end. Is this, does this same time work Fridays? Yes. Okay, consider it done. 11 or 12 works for me. 11 or 12, perfect. And your central time? Yes. Awesome. Okay, D, I'll schedule it right now and I'll be a message away if I need anything. Thank you. Cool, right D? Okay, bye-bye.


Harold, you are the 13th Arthur Goodheart Visiting Professor of Legal Science to be interviewed for the Immolence Scholars Archive. You're currently the Sterling Professor of International Law at Yale Law School, a physician that you've held since 2013. You've been a Goodheart Professor for the academic year 2018-19 and we are very grateful for your agreeing to share some reminiscences of your life and career and your experiences here in Cambridge over this period. I hope you can also give us some thoughts on legal topics in international law. So could we start with your early life? You were born in Boston on December 8th 1954 and this was 16 months after the end of the Korean War. Your father was originally from what is North Korea but he escaped to the United States. Can you tell us a little about your parents, how they came to the States and re-established themselves there? Yeah, so actually it was my mother who was from North Korea. My parents are the inspiration of my life. My father is an international law professor which explains why I'm an international law professor. His name was Kwang Lim Ko and he was from a very small island off the south coast of South Korea. So he was as south as you could get. It's called Cheju Island. It's a fishing village and he was an incredibly hardworking student and was the first student from the island ever to go to Seoul which was an Astana. It would be like someone from the Isle of Wight coming to London. At the time the Seoul National University was controlled by the Japanese colonial forces and so what he attended was called Keijo Imperial University where he was the only Korean with one other fellow and they were very heavily discriminated against. But my father took this as a challenge and was number one in the class even though he was the only one of the only two Koreans and this created this incredible drive for achievement really to prove that Koreans could not be looked down upon. My mother who my dad passed away in 1989. He did not escape to America. He came as a student. In fact we just found the materials. He got a scholarship from an educational institution in Princeton, New Jersey which he misunderstood. This was in 1949. He misunderstood to me. He was being admitted to Princeton University to study law. Princeton doesn't have a law school. So he came all the way to America, went to Princeton and they said we don't have a law school. So he enrolled in a PhD program at nearby Rutgers University in New Jersey. Got a PhD. He then went to Harvard Law School, got a master's LLM and then got an SJD and then finally just to establish that he could practice law in America he got a JD degree from Boston College Law School and I'll say more about this in a moment but his specialty was Law of the Sea and particularly the study of fisheries. Next week I'm arguing at the International Court of Justice about, among other things, Russia's theft of fisheries from Ukraine. So it's coming full circle in some way. Finally I realized my father had a vision that was just very far-reaching. Now my mother, Haesung Chun-ko, is from a very different walk of life. She's from a very well-to-do family in Seoul. She is still alive. When I get back from Cambridge we'll have her 90th birthday. She gave birth to six children. She has her own PhD. She is the head of a research institute on Koreans and Korean Americans and she's a sociologist and my parents were the first Asians ever to teach law at Yale Law School where they did 1961 and my sister and I are now a chaired professor at Yale Law School many years later. But what happened was that my mother's family had a summer home in North Korea which is a very cool mountainous part of the country and when the country was divided by after the end of World War II they were having to be up there herself and her two siblings and was actually trapped inside North Korea for three or four months and the Russians were in control and she was recounting to me just very recently that when the Russians came marching down they didn't know what to do so they held up a sign you're supposed to welcome them. She didn't like the Russians so she put up a sign that said welcome allied forces and she was advised that she was 17 years old that the Russian forces were raping and molesting young Korean women so after several months she dressed up as a boy and she and her two brothers hiked to the border and my grandfather who I never met her father sent a car to meet them when they got to the border there was no car and then they just waited there for 10 hours or something and suddenly a car appeared and took her south. Amazingly a few months later she went to America on a scholarship to Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. As a freshman the Korean War started and Dickinson College is very close to the Army War College and they sent a kind of distress signal saying does anyone speak Korean because our generals need to know how to speak Korean so my mother went over there as a freshman 18 years old and started teaching them Korean language and then a few weeks later she said to them you know you can't learn Korean language without learning Korean history and you can't learn Korean history without learning Korean culture and so I want to teach these courses and you can't do it any of it without knowing Korean geography so she taught all of these courses as a fresher so she is a remarkable person as you can tell and so my parents were among the only two Koreans in the east coast under the Japanese I'm sorry under the the Korean Normalization Act they figure less than a thousand in the mainland of America as opposed to Hawaii and then by incredible coincidence the my father's dissertation advisor at Rutgers went to Dickinson where my mother was a student to give a speech and my mother was his tour guide and so he went back and told my father there's this remarkable Korean woman at not so far from here so my father began writing her letters and proposing marriage and things like this sight unseen and and eventually she agreed to a meeting and then they got married in the I'm the fourth child of six and what an incredible trajectory well I think there are a couple things you can get from that one is I'm an optimistic person I think by by my history you know it's it's a miraculous story really in fact I'll tell a little bit more if it's not too much the pivotal moment of my father's career came in he was at Harvard Law School and Singh Munri's government which was sort of an American being propped up by the Americans collapsed and my father's friend John Chung was the ambassador from Korea to Washington wanted to run for prime minister and my father was so popular in the south of Korea that Chung asked my father to go back and campaign for him but my father didn't have any money and but he had just joined the church at Harvard Law School right it's right next to Harvard Law School and so the minister of the church said to my parents okay on Sunday we'll tell you to leave the church and just take your family and walk out so he did and a few minutes later he came on gave us several thousand dollars he had he had just called for the congregation to donate money so that this young patriot could go back to Korea so my father goes back they win the election and he suddenly was offered every position he was sort of the young star of the government he then agreed to be the first ambassador to the UN but and he was only 40 years old the Korea was an observer nation so then they said we would like you to be the number two guy in Washington the Sharjah the fairs and this was the ideal position of my father the year was 1960 John Kennedy had just been elected and my father was constantly over at the White House and everybody at the White House was somebody new from Harvard and he was having the time of his life and then and we were living in Washington DC the whole family one day he my mother gets a call and my father's at Dulles Airport and he says to her what I was worried about is happening I'm going back to Korea and it turned out he had been warned that the Korean government would be overthrown by a military tatership and so he flew back and warned Chang his mentor and boss and Chang said no no General Park Park Chung he will prevent this from happening a few days later General Park himself committed the coup and they were all thrown out by this point my father was back in America and he convened the meeting of everybody at the embassy and he said everyone must take a pledge we will never serve a dictatorship we will only serve a democracy that's governed by the rule of law and everybody signed the pledge and within a year everybody broke the pledge except for my father and he was exiled and he never served in the government again but he told me the story countless times and his main point was that many people profess to care about the rule of law but it's it's really kind of a but they're weak-willed and when push comes to shove they don't live their commitments then the other amazing thing this happens and then I'll end this little account is that my father heard that Chang his boss would be executed and was under house arrest so he went to the White House to see the deputy national security advisor who was a man named Walt W. Rostow famous economist and Rostow said to him we know where Mr. Chang is he will not be harmed and my father was just staggered by the reach of American power that this guy sitting in Washington could say this with certainty about something happening on the other side of the world and then when it was over and also I think he was stunned by what he thought was the goodness of American power and obviously America's powers had many faces but this gave my father a deep love of America which I think everybody in my family shares that there's a good America and then there's a not so good America but we have to keep calling America to its better angels at the very end of the conversation almost proving this what Rostow says to my father what are you doing now and my father says I'm I'm exiled and I'm unemployed and I have six children and Rostow says don't don't you teach law and my father says yes and he says well you know my brother is dean of the law school Eugene Rostow let me call him so he picks up the phone and they have a very short conversation according to my father the conversation lasted maybe 10 seconds and he couldn't hear what he said and my father just assumes that nothing had happened so he was getting ready to leave and then Rostow said where are you going and my father said I guess it didn't work out he said no no no he said my brother said can you get here in a week and a week later we moved to New Haven 40 years later I was dean of the law school so so from these strands come a couple things you know first I think this belief in human rights that we have to fight for human rights second that we have to be committed to the rule of law third that we have to call America American citizens have to call America to its better angels and finally that you know there's a generous approach to life and a less generous approach to life and you know if you're lucky enough to be the beneficiary then you have to take that generous approach to others and so I've tried to live by those ideas not imperfectly but that's been the case now there's a very interesting connection to good heart which is when I was growing up in New Haven Connecticut my dad wanted my brother to get into a local boy's school and it turned out the only way you could get in was to be recommended by someone who had gone to that school and there was a guy a young professor Guido Calabrese and my father went to him and asked him would you recommend my son's my brother to the school which he did and then he recommended each of us and that's how he went years later I was Guido's colleague and then succeeded him as the dean of the law school but it was Guido who said to me the best year I ever had was my year at Cambridge as the good heart professor at Trinity Hall and that's when it sort of came into my mind gee I'd like to be the good heart professor someday and my other colleague John Langbine also had a similar experience at Trinity Hall so um anyway that's how I that's how I got here thank you very much


Hi friends, welcome to the session I am Alka. Today we are going to solve the sum on the basis of a pair of linear equation in two variables. Our question is the sum of the digits of a two digit number is 9. Also 9 times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits. We have to find the number. Now let us begin with the solution. Let us first assume the tens digit number and the unit digit number. So, let the tens digit of the number be x and let the unit digit number, unit digit of the number be y. Now this becomes, therefore our number becomes, therefore number is equal to 10x plus y and we are given that sum of the digits of a two digit number is 9. This means that sum of the digits, sum of the digits x and y, x plus y is equal to 9. This is our first equation. Now we are given that 9 times this number is twice the number obtained by reversing the order of the digits. 9 times of the number is 9 times, 9 times, 9 times the number is equal to 9 multiplied by 10x plus y which is the number give us 90x plus 9y. Now according to our question when the digits are reversed because we have to, we have to reverse the order of the digits. When the digits are reversed that is when the unit digit come on the tens place and the tens digit come on the unit place, so it becomes when, when the digits are reversed the number is equal to 10y plus x. Earlier the number was 10x plus y. Now since the digits are reversed the number is 10y plus x. Now according to question we see 9 times the number which is 90x plus 9y, 90x plus 9y becomes twice of the number obtained by reversing the digits is twice of 10y plus x. This implies that 90x plus 9y is equal to 20y plus 2x. This gives us 90x minus 2x plus 90y minus 20y is equal to 0. This implies 90 minus 2x is equal to 88x and plus 9y minus 20y is equal to minus 11y is equal to 0. On taking 11 as common we get 8x minus y is equal to 0 and this implies that 8x minus y is equal to 0. When we divide both the sides LHS, when we divide both sides LHS and RHS by 11 we get 8x minus y is equal to 0. This is our third equation which we get after dividing LHS and RHS by 11. So our equations are our first equation is x plus y is equal to 9 and second equation is 8x minus y is equal to 0. Hence the equations are x plus y is equal to 9 and 8x minus y is equal to 0. Further we see that if we add equation number 1 and 2 we get on adding these we get 9x. These will get cancelled out is equal to 9. This implies 9x is equal to 9. This implies x is equal to 9 upon 9 therefore x is equal to 1. Now on substituting the value of x is equal to 1 in equation number 1st we get our first equation is x plus y is equal to 9. Now we will keep x here as 1 which gives us 1 plus y is equal to 9. This implies y is equal to 9 minus 1 which gives y is equal to 8. Now therefore the required number is on the 10th place it was x which is 1 and on the unit's place it was y which is 8. So the required number is 18. Hence we see the equations are x plus y is equal to 9 and 8x minus y is equal to 0 where x and y are 10s and units rigid and the required number is 18. Hope you got the problem and understood the solution. See you and goodbye.


Good morning everybody, it's not really morning anymore. Good afternoon, almost evening. But I got unloaded, and now I have to head to Drummondville, Quebec. A bit of a wait, we had to do some hunting from what I hear to get some good freight out of here. I'm gonna have another LTL load going back to Manitoba or going back west anyway. LTL stands for less than truckload. So I have three pickups, I believe. That'll fill up my old trailer, that'll make one truckload. If it was just one pickup, that would fill up the whole trailer, that would be called a full truckload, FTL. LTL is a little bit more work because you gotta go to different locations, like I got three pickups. But you can make more with them if you do it right. Usually, yeah, usually the more work you put in, the more money you should make, that makes sense, right? But this is our option for now. We're gonna take it. Let's get going. I stayed here at this Petro Pass in Mississauga. Just around the corner from where I had to deliver. It took a couple of hours to deliver. It was much later than eight o'clock. They got a hold of me and said, well, you know, the appointment said for eight o'clock, but they also said the appointment for like five other trucks was eight o'clock as well. So since I was just around the corner here, I was able to sort of just hang around and wait until they were ready for me and then go and quickly get unloaded there. After I got unloaded, I was able to come back here. I got a snuck in a little bit of a nap. That doesn't happen too often. So I'm all fired up, ready to go now. We've got to head to Drummondville, Quebec, and that is seven hours from here, at least. The problem with that is, it's rush hour now in Toronto. And I'm in Mississauga, which is sort of the same city as Toronto, but I'm gonna have to go out of Mississauga through Toronto to get out of the city and go towards Montreal. Drummondville, Quebec is on the other side of Montreal from where I am right now. So we've got to pass Montreal. And we've got to leave the city here and it's rush hour. And everybody else is getting into their cars right now at this very moment. I can feel it. And they're all getting ready to leave work and go home.  What, toot dirty? I wash this thing twice already. I keep, I guess when I have my gloves on, I keep touching my straps and stuff, get my hands dirty and then I adjust my toot. My hands are getting dirty.  That is what it is. Okay, I'm gonna grab a coffee and we're gonna tackle this Toronto traffic. I was right down by Lake Ontario, right down by the lake in Mississauga. So I have the whole city to get through yet. And I just thought of something. I went and got a coffee, a nice big coffee, right? So I was like, yeah, this will get me through the city. Then I started thinking, this is Toronto. You might drink all this coffee. I have to go to the bathroom long before I get out of the city. It's gonna happen. I made sure the tank was empty when I left, but I don't know if we're gonna get to Toronto before we have to make an emergency stop. We'll see. 500 meters, take the entrance to the right on Q Toronto. I already paid for the coffee, so I'm gonna drink it.  Don't worry about having a full tank later. 400 meters, take the entrance to the right on Q Toronto. That's one piece of advice I can give to the drivers getting out here on the road. When you know you're coming into a big city with a lot of traffic and no bathroom stops, be careful how much water you intake or how much liquid you drink. Just remember, what you put in is gotta come out sooner or later. And if you're in the middle of traffic, you can't just stop and go to the bathroom. The highways and interstates in New York in the city there are built better and they make more sense. Here in Toronto, Mississauga, this whole area here, you have the 401, the 407. The 407 no one uses, cause that's a toll road. So everyone's on the 401, including myself. You got one highway stretching through the entire city and every resident of Eastern Canada, by what it seems like, is on that highway with you at the same time. And everybody gets frustrated. The longer you're in traffic, the more people get frustrated. And you can tell by the way they drive around you. Be very careful. The signals are optional, not legally, but in most people's minds, here signals are optional. You gotta keep that in mind.  So this is pretty good right now. We're moving pretty good. We're getting right up to Mississauga city center now. Once we get through there, we'll jump up onto 427. That'll take us up to the 401, I believe. Do I got those numbers right, the 401? Yeah, right? I don't know why I had a brain fart right there, whatever. It's all Toronto. It is a beautiful city. You know, I gotta give them that. I don't wanna hate on them too much.  Majority of the people here are great people. Like I said earlier in this clip though, I'm a prairie boy, so I like the open spaces. You know, I'll take the smell of manure every morning over the sound of traffic. Sirens and horns, you know? Oh, here we go, here we go. Here comes the brake lights. Oh, I knew it was too good to be true. I knew it was too good to be true. I didn't wanna say it out loud but I thought we were moving pretty good. I said it out loud and now look what I did. Looks like they're expanding this highway here too so probably making it better. But you know, Toronto's growing so fast cause people when they move to Canada most of them move to Toronto, right? A lot of them do. And the city is growing in people faster than it's growing in infrastructure. So you know, they'll expand the highway to seven lanes each direction, right? But by the time they get that done, there's so many more people here that they need eight lanes or 10 lanes in every direction. It's a constant battle. Not enough homes for everybody. 100 meters, turn left on. Tixson Road and back. Turn right in 116 meters. That's sort of that way across the entire country though, right? That's a big problem we have right now is that there's not enough homes for all the people coming to Canada. Turn left on. Linge near Avenue. Karen, what are you talking about? Wake up. I'm not turning left. Where am I gonna turn left? She wants me to turn left. Really, Karen? She thinks I'm on the side street over there on the other side of that fence to our left. Who on this road for six kilometers? Yeah, we're still on the QEW here, Karen. Put the bottle down, come on. I'm a navigator in here. I don't have diesel with me anymore, so Karen gets me lost all the time. Fords Montreal, side of the whole Greater Toronto area. It's truck stop coffee before I left the city. It was a little baby, well, cars that way, trucks this way. Oh, okay. Usually the trucks would go right. Why are we? Oh, that's confusing. Look at these guys. Look at the wheel. Why are you parked in the driveway, my guy? Buddy, that is a- Can you walk this road for 190-trick-a-long-dress? Literally no parking signs all over here, man.  Whatcha doing? Whatcha doing? Parking is back here. Hopefully there's a parking spot. Oh, there's lots.  They didn't want to walk. They didn't want to walk from back here. That's why. Lazy. I don't like walking either. I'll park as close as I can, but I'm gonna park in a parking spot. Look up on anybody's YouTube channel. What's this guy doing parking here? Nope. Not me. And look, the building is right here. It's actually closer than where that guy parked over there. I'm gonna have to walk less distance than they did. So maybe that's not the reason they- They're clearly, obviously, way more important than any of us. As any of us parking in a no parking zone in a driveway, we'd get a ticket, but they're special. Welcome to the vlog, everybody. Would it be a vlog if I didn't complain about something? If I didn't call out someone for doing something weird, it's kind of what I'd do. So I've been really good lately. I've eaten pretty good, you know. Gone on a few walks. Think I've been behaving myself. The reason I say all of this is there's a Burger King in there. What do you think? I earned a Burger King burger, a Burger King meal? Too bad it's not an A&W. My favorite fast food, if we're gonna talk fast food, A&W. I love the Papa Burger combo. No pickles.  Papa Burger, no pickles. Onion Rings, A&W Onion Rings. There's no match for them. An A&W Root Beer, but there's no A&W here. There is a Burger King, though. And I haven't had fast food in a little while. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. Don't follow my example. Eat healthy. 253-foot trailers, you see a lot of them on the prairies where I'm from, right? For a one-two on the corridor between, I believe, Toronto, Montreal. A lot more stressful doing that here than on the prairies. And the prairies, you've seen it. That's where I live. There's nobody there. Probably more cows than people. I mean, more chickens than people. Hungry for chicken. Anyway, very popular on the prairies, but there's nobody there. Here, there's a lot of traffic, right? I've never seen where they hook and unhook and how they do it over here. Yeah, Mary goes again. Pass for here, so I gotta pay with credit card. They accept debit and credit, which is awesome. Remember the old days, which wasn't too long ago, so like, yesteryear, where you had to come up with cash for tolls, because no one accepted credit cards or debit cards at tolls? I guess it wasn't that bad, but. Let's thread the needle here. And careful, careful. Couple of inches on both sides of the truck. You could have made it a little bit wider, you know? Just saying. Just saying. Squeaking on through less than six inches on each side. Ha, ha. 10 bucks, wasn't it, like, 9.50 or something? Now it's 14.50. Top lights in Quebec are sideways. And the red lights have two red lights. I've noticed that in some places they even have different shapes for the different lights, like the green lights a circle. The yellow light, I think, is a triangle. And then the stop lights are diamonds. Crack me if I'm wrong. But I've seen that, and that's for people who are colorblind that they can see what the lights are trying to tell them. Your destination is on the right. I see it, thank you, Google. We're at the Esso in Drummondville, or Drummondville, what's it called again? I think it's Drummondville. Drum-O-V, Quebec. My first of three pickups in town here tomorrow. We'll never arrive. Let's see if we can find a parking spot out back. I've never been to this truck stop before, but I found it on Trucker Path. So here we are. See if we can find a parking spot. According to the app, there's usually always parking available. I already see a couple of spots right over there. I think I see the one I'm gonna take. Yeah, lots of spots. Look at this, it's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I never knew this place was here. How many times have I driven past this place? No idea it was here. So thanks Trucker Path. Shout out to you guys on right here.
