Next up, I want to introduce Dr. Sami Al-Aryan, who is a political activist, a community leader, and a former political prisoner. He was prosecuted by the Bush administration under the Patriot Act, and despite his innocence, Dr. Al-Aryan was in prison for years before being deported to Turkey in 2015. Professor, the floor is yours. Thank you very much, Brian. Thank you for the invitation and for the speakers and the audience. In 9-11 happened, the American political establishment had to explain to the American people what had actually taken place. They had two possible answers. One, that we were attacked before because of our policies. The policies such as the occupation of the birthplace of Islam in Saudi Arabia after the first Gulf War, or the sanctions on the Iraqi during the 90s, in which half a million people died. In the words of the former Secretary of State, Madeleine Halfbright, in which he said it was worth it. Or because of the policies in supporting Israel, the military hardware and economic subsidy to the tune of $200 billion over the past half century. Or the occupation of Palestinian land and subjugation over the Palestinian people. We're popping up of dictators and totalitarian regimes and Arab world undermining democracy every step of the way. These are regimes which have been supported by successive American administrations throughout the years. All these policies, if they were the root problem that caused the tragic attacks, that would have been an answer. But of course, we were given a different answer. The other answer was that America was attacked because of our freedom, our democracy of who we are.  And therefore, we had to see evasions, occupations, setting up corrupt and incompetent regimes, the tensions of thousands and thousands of people, get more and above rape, torture, black sites, drones, bombings, assassinations. The surveillance state, CVE programs in order to recruit thousands and thousands of informants, the securitization of the American Muslim community, the demonization of Islam and Muslims, the whole thing. What happened after 9-11, in the words of a former FBI agent who had a change of heart after 17 years of trying to serve this security state. His story was told to us by the New York Times last week, Terry Albert, he said that this was very important revelation is that what happened after 9-11 within the political establishment, within the security apparatus is that it was decided that Islam is the enemy and therefore we had to go and fight throughout the world, as well as domestically. Doing so silencing Muslim leaders, undermining Muslim institutions inside the United States, infiltrating Muslim communities, targeting the most vulnerable among them, using entrapment and other underhanded tactics. Just to name a few became standard government policies. I was among the first to be targeted, first Muslim leaders that is to be targeted by the US administration at the time because of powerful interest groups who thought that I was dangerous because of my stance on Palestine, my activism against the government and secret evidence and other civil rights abuses because of my criticism of American foreign policy and domestic policy. And the attempts actually to silence me were long before 9-11, but 9-11 became the perfect pretext to fulfill that goal of eliminating my voice and ability to challenge the false narrative of imperialism and settler colonialism in Palestine. Now 20 years later, it's clear that this policy has failed and the explanation given to the American people has been exposed as false and a lie. There was the last military act of the United States this week, this past week, is very revealing. You can read it today in Washington Post and New York Times. The government said that they prosecuted a drone attack in which an ISIS person was targeted and he was eliminated and that because of secondary explosions, other civilians were killed. But what the actual revelation of the investigation by New York Times and Washington Post is that this person was working for an American aid charity. He was pro-American, he actually applied to be resettled. He was targeted because he went to a house that the intelligence services thought was a safe house for ISIS, which wasn't. He was the house of his boss. He was trying to pick up a laptop and they went after him for eight hours and because he went four different places, he basically was dropping off and picking up his colleagues. And because he put something in his trunk and they thought they were explosives and that's what caused the secondary actions. They were not. They were simply jugs of water because there wasn't water in his neighborhood. They said that he was targeted alone. It wasn't true. 10 people were killed, including seven children. This is emblematic of the actual so-called war in terror in which, by the way, the figure of two trillion dollars that was spent on these wars, much of it actually never left the United States. Most of it was profiteering from these wars, whether it was defense companies, whether it was contractors, whatever have you. Today, Afghanistan is poorer, poorer than it was in 2001. In 2001, the average daily income of the Afghani person was $2 per day. Today, it's less than $2 per day. So none of that money actually went to Afghanistan. And none of it actually went to the American people. It just went to certain people who became extremely rich. Now, when I was arrested back in 2003, I was among the first to be arrested and prosecuted by the so-called war in terror. I was facing three life sentences plus 220 years. The government wasn't even ready for the trial. So I had to wait 27 months in solitary confinement until they get ready. All in all, I had to spend 43 straight months in solitary confinement. They had 471,000 phone calls that they had on me over a 10-year period, $21,000 to be exact. They had over 400,000 documents, 2,000 audio tapes, 600 videotapes, 65,000 Hebrew documents that they threw just for fun. They brought in 80 witnesses in which 21 went from Israel. We had zero witnesses. It was the longest trial since 9-11, still is, six months from opening to verdict. And with all that, with all the advantages in which they spent over $200 million on that trial, they got zero convictions. Four of us, they could not convict in a single accusation, single charge, even though they had over 100 charges. But they were not ready to let go. So I had to deal with them, give up my rights and leave. And after the agreement, they kept me for another eight years waiting because another prosecutor, a Zionist who didn't like that murder, he had to bring me and drag me there trying to get me to testify even though we agreed that there will be no cooperation. And I had to wait another eight years in which I was charged in another charge and put on first two years in prison and then six years in under house arrest. And at the end, because we had a decent judge, the government had to give up. And of course, I have already given up all my rights despite 40 years living in America. To reiterate, what this was what it shows is simply a new face of America that is ugly, that has been exposed. And that what we need is grassroots movement to stand up to these policies and to stand up to the ugliness of this so-called war and terror that has done nothing but devastation, destruction, death. All in the name of the American people. And if this is a true democracy, then people really have to resist, mobilize, organize, and make change. And I appreciate the efforts of many people who are attending today in many organizations and institutions who are trying to do that. But we have to think also outside the box, meaning that there is something fundamentally wrong with how we're resistant. I remember when I was under house arrest, the Occupy movement, there was a lot of good people there in the streets, but they could not come together to make an effective change. The challenges are many. The money that is in politics today and corrupting the whole system has to be faced and has to be dealt with. But all in all, we need to bring all good hearted grassroots people together and think of how you can make a change because believe it or not, what America does is destroying the whole world. A lot of people who live in America see only part of this, but the impact is huge. And when people resist, certainly they can win, but at the end still the stick is big. The devastation is why the manipulation of the economic institutions throughout the world, just like destruction and mayhem all over. And therefore it makes a whole difference when we have people who care about peace and care about real freedoms and care about people that they come together and make a difference in this world. And since America is doing much of that destruction, then it's very important that people, American people, people with conscience, take the responsibilities serious and try to make a difference in this world. Thank you. Thank you so much, Sammy for sharing.


ever thee I sing, I can sing such grandeur and glories about you. I tramp a perpetual round, come listen all, to Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota to hear their songs, then to Ohio and Indiana to hear theirs, to Tennessee and Kentucky to the Carolinas and Georgia to hear theirs, to Texas and Louisiana and along upward to California, I hear America singing, and to you all each and every one whom I specify not, health to you, goodwill to you all from me, from America. The songs, the stories and the achievements of a nation and a nation's people have been the inspiration of many distinguished American authors and among the most recent of our American novels of unusual historical interest is Red Lanterns on St. Michael's by Thornwell Jacobs. Tonight DuPont on the Cavalcade of America presents a radio play based on this story featuring the Cavalcade players and starring William Johnstone in the role of Perry White. In the morning, in the city of Charleston and the free and independent state of South Carolina, a party is in full swing in a home on the fashionable high-battery. Everybody quiet, quiet please. First of the Lincolnites over there in Fort Sumter refused to surrender to our sovereign state. So in accordance with our orders.  Don't they realize it means war? Most of them don't think it does. Of course it does. Some say that when the North realizes we mean business, there'll be a compromise. Oh no, it's gone too far. When they shoot at those men in the fort, it'll be too late. Darling, be calm. Perhaps it's hard for you to know how I feel, but I know what it means. I know that when war comes, it'll be my duty to hate one side or another. And how can I? How can I hate my friends and family in Boston?  But I'll be made to hate one or the other. You'll have to hate the North because it'll be war. Ladies and gentlemen, we've just learned that Mr. Edmund Ruffin, that grand old Charleston gentleman, the father of secession, is to have the privilege of firing the first cannon shot at Fort Sumter. Beginning of a war, a war that started with the cheers of ladies waving handkerchiefs from balconies and terraces. Three years later, the shooting was still going on, but the gaiety had died. Charleston was blockaded by a solid ring of Union ironclad ships in the bay. Charleston homes stood wrecked from Union shells. Ladies nursed rows of wounded in Charleston hospitals. Charleston faced ruin. Joan. Yes, Perry? I've heard you say often that war is so horrible, we must do all we can to make it less horrible. Of course. And I've said it too. But Joan, Charleston was starved, unless a way is found to combat those Union ironclad ships. And I've found that way. How do you mean? An invention. I'm taking it to General Beauregard in the morning. You said nothing. They called for secrecy. But Joan, I had to tell you, when this war is over and we get married, I want your love and respect. So I couldn't go ahead without telling you. Joan, this invention is something that will blow those ships off the face of the water with all the men on them. It's their ruin or ours I had to choose. What's this all about, Captain White? What are these designs? I call it a diving boat, General Beauregard. Diving boat? An underwater vessel? Yes, sir. Now look here. You know our previous experiments in that line were disastrous. Two whole crews went down today. Yes, sir, but I know what was wrong with those experiments. Look, I think I figured it out. I want to make this boat like a cylindrical metal boiler, four feet in diameter and 25 feet long. I want to divide it into watertight compartments here and here. I've calculated closely that the oxygen in this compartment would last a crew of eight men more than half an hour. And I know the attack on an ironclad can be made in that time. This design looks as if you know some physics. I have studied the subject, but look, sir, there's no other way that we can ever combat those ironclads. The metal plating on the sides of those ships protects the sides completely, but not the bottom. We've got to reach that vulnerable part. You're right. Quite right. Now, we could approach the ironclad underwater with a great charge of explosive at the end of this long pole passing to the prowl. We'd ran that into the bottom of the iron. Then we'd back up quickly, but there'd be a rope from the boat to the explosive charge, and as we backed and the rope became taut, it had set off the explosion. Why not? Why not? I've tried to think of every single detail, and now look, sir. How would this boat be propelled by hand since we can't use an engine underwater? The men would sit along these seats here, and each one would have a crank beside him. Here's a detailed drawing of it. Now, those cranks will turn the screw. Now, we'd start off on the surface.  We'd keep going until we came close to the ironclad. Then we'd dive down by filling these compartments here with water. What I want to know is, how are you going to come up again? Well, here. Here's the drawing of that, too. We'll have these heavy metal weights underneath the boat here, which can be released from the inside by unscrewing these bolts. And every man has a boat right by his seat. The moment those weights are released, we'll leap to the surface. Excellent. Why not? This boat will be built at once. As soon as it's ready, you'll take charge of the test. Yes, sir. All right, that's all. Yes, sir. Oh, just a minute. Yes, sir? Captain White, there's something most important I want to discuss with you. Talking about the boat, I clean forgot about it. Tell me you know telegraphy. Yes, sir. Come back here. I notice you talk somewhat like a northerner. When I have northern friends, sir, perhaps I've picked up their habits of speech. I think you could sound real in all of them. Well, I could try. Captain White, you're going to jail right now. You follow me? I'm not sure. Then listen, you're a Yankee captain from the military telegraph corps. I will give you a northern uniform. And you've been captured. You'll be in a cell with a Yankee officer named Phil Barlow. Phil Barlow has some information we'd like. There's a new Union code being used between the Union ships and the bay and their troops on shore. We've got to get that code. I see, sir. Take your time. Get Barlow's confidence. When you learn the code, you can signal us by refusing food. Then we'll know it's time to let you out. Yes, sir. Meanwhile, we'll start on your boat at once. Look, Perry. What? Look through the bars up there. That's the church tower. St. Michael's, they call it. What about it? It means there's a fire. That's the way we used to tell from our ships when one of the shells made trouble for them. That fire looks serious. Too bad. It's a nice old town. I understand our orders will be to level the city to the ground. It's an object lesson. Yes, I'm afraid so. It's the way it is. The longer the fighting goes on, the more violent it gets. All right. I certainly get tired of this soup. Well, it's all we'll get. Let's eat. Say, do you say you were from Boston? Oh, yes. I was up there once. I met a girl named Joan Brooks. Then she later went south to live. Yes, yes. I remember her. You know her? Yes, a long time ago. A nice girl. Well, I guess she's turning into a fine southern belle by now. Seveners are putting up quite a fight. Yeah. Hopeless though. What are you laughing at? I was just remembering how I was given the job of deciphering the new Confederate code. What? It had me guessing, but then suddenly it was just like ABC. Did you decipher their code? Sure. Wasn't the key passed on to your company? No. Well, I'll have to explain it to you sometime. You were shifting letters. Well, you knew that, didn't you? Oh, I thought it was. Well, they tried to mix you up by throwing in arbitrary words to break up stock phrases. It's got clever stumbling blocks. Not as tricky as ours at that. I guess it'd be hard to decipher this new series of ours all right. Oh, yeah. It's clever. Still as simple as daylight when you know it. Yeah. Say, how'd they ever think of it anyway? I never ran across a code like it before. Didn't you know it again? No. It was an old gambler's trick. You see, in this old gambling system, King was five, six, seven, and Queen, three, four, eight, Jack, one, nine, two. Here's what happened when they first began working on the code. They took that idea and adapted it in such a way that when the third letter is taken as another... You see? That's working out, General Beauregard. Go on, go on, young man. One, six, two. So these last words become create diversion northeast of Charleston. That's it. You have it. Captain White, now we'll be able to anticipate every move of the enemy. I'm glad I could do it, sir. Good work, good work. Now, your boat should be ready for tests in a couple of weeks. No word about it is leaked out. Only the men working on it know about it. In spite of the fact that every man on the two crews had tried it before in similar boats drowned in the attempt. These men still volunteered to be your crew. Very good, sir. Now, middle of next month, the nights are dark. I'd like you to be ready for the first attack on an ironclad by then. Very good, sir. All right, that's all, Captain White. Sir, what is it? My cellmate, Philip Bartle. What's to become of him? I don't know why. Everything can be done for him. I'd like to do it. There's to be an exchange of prisoners. Could he be among them? Request granted. Yes, Perry? I can't go without telling you. What do you mean? Remember that invention? You never mentioned it again, Perry. Well, tonight's the night. We're going tonight. Going? That's all I can tell you, honey. I had to tell you this much because... Heaven knows if I'll ever be back. Perry, I'm frightened. Don't be, honey. We thought on every detail, I know we'll succeed. It's just that I had to tell you we were going. Goodbye, darling. I love you, Perry. We remind you that you are listening to the DuPont Cavalcade of America presenting Red Lanterns on St. Michael, a radio play adapted from the novel by Thornwell Jacobs and starring William Johnstone as Perry White. The Cavalcade of America is brought to you by DuPont, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. The last chance to stay ashore. You know what we're facing. Anybody want to change his mind? Now, will you please answer when your name is called? Gary? Yeah. Henderson? Here, McCulloch? Yeah. O'Brien? Yeah. Yes, sir? Carol? Yes. All right. Let's get in. Go on up, buddy. Take it easy now. Everybody set? Yes, sir. Quiet now. What was that? Sorry, sir. I dropped my wrench. We've got to be absolutely quiet. Not a sound now. All right. Well, each one of you put your wrenches on the floor right beside your seats. I want to have them handy to release the weight so we can rise to the surface if anything goes wrong after we're down. Is that clear? Yes, sir. Everyone set? Now, the idea is, we've got to get close to those Union iron clans before we dive under. So, start cranking them. Hey. Hey. Hey. Headed just about right, I'd say. Awful black out there. Those atomic should be straight ahead. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, look. What? I'm sure. I sure want to hit one of those houses. It's on fire. We'll keep blazing light up, all right. I'll hit light up the water. All right, men. Keep going. Hey. Stop cranking. Don't move, men. What's that? Wait. Listen. We're right in the light of the burning building on shore. Don't move, men. We better dive under. There's fire on us. Another minute for sure. All right, men. Close the hedges. Quiet now. All right. We're ready to dive, sir. I'm going to let the water into the compartments. You know, can't eat. We keep on as we're headed. We ought to hit a squarely. If we miss her, we wander underwater till we find her. Now I'm going to light the candle. Remember, when this candle begins to go out, lack of oxygen, we know we've got to get to the surface and get that quickly. When that happens, I'll give the signal for every man to grab his wrench and start unscrewing the bolts to release the weights underneath. Everybody got your wrenches handy? Yes, sir. Remember, you'll be in the dark. Can you find the bolts? I got them. Right here, sir. Until the flame dies, we've got to keep trying. Remember, if we succeed in this, it might be the means of winning the war. Good luck, men. Relax, sir. Let's go. Stop a minute. Have we missed her, sir? I don't think so. I don't think we've come to her yet. Everybody all right? Yes, sir. Does that candle seem to be sputtering to you, sir? No, I don't think so. Come on, men. We've got to find the Housatonic. You ready? Yes, sir. Let's go on. Stop cranking, everybody. We've hit her. Now then, quick. Back her up. Start cranking. Yes, sir. He's got the weight. Yes. Where's he at, sir? We're rammed in that heat. Nice, man. Yeah. We've got to get off. We've got to back away. Hurry up. Hurry. We'll be blown up with the Housatonic. The kingdom comes. Quick, men. Hurry! Hurry! The hospital, sir. Take it easy, Johnny. Water. Water, get me some water. Yeah, I think there's a guard. What happened? Enough so they probably shoot you when they get time for it. Oh. Using methods not recognizing civilized warfare.  Did the Housatonic blow up? The pieces are still drifting up on shore. What about the others? Your friends? You're the only one for them. You say they're going to shoot me? What do you think? What day is it? I wouldn't worry about that. What happened to you when they asked you to step out one of these fine mornings? What's that? Maybe this is when they come for you. Right here in the stockade. Here's your prisoner, Captain Bolo. Harry? Phil! How are you, Perry? I heard about you being captured and I've been working for your release. I finally got your papers.  Free? I can't believe it. Release the prisoner, God? Yes. Come on out, Perry. We'll be back in Charleston tomorrow. You're a free man. Sir Perry, you're back! Yes. Oh, bless the Lord and all these chases. Is Miss Joan home? Oh, my, sir. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, right away. Joan, darling. Oh, Perry. Joan, sweetheart. You're back. You're back. Yes. Oh, I hadn't dared to home. It's good to see you back, Master Perry. I haven't been praying. Oh, honey. Phil Bolo heard about me and got me exchanged. Phil Bolo? Yes. He's back with their forces on Morris Island. I was in the stockade there. Oh, Perry, I'm so happy. I was so lost without you. Joan, someday soon we'll all learn what I'm beginning to understand. That the people of the north and people of the south are not enemies, but kinsmen, brothers and darling. Soon this will all be over, and it must never happen again. Americans have always taken pride in the heroism self-sacrifice and gallantry, which have resulted in many remarkable achievements by those men who have served our country according to the finest traditions of the United States Navy. And in times of emergency, this is more true than ever. Today, as industry collaborates with all the armed forces of the United States in safeguarding our democracy, still another achievement has recently received public recognition in the records of the United States Navy. The Navy's Chief of Ordnance, Rear Admiral William H.P. Blandy, has presented to the management and 1,000 employees of the DuPont Smokeless Powder Plant at Carney's Point, New Jersey, the Ordnance of the United States Navy. The awards were for outstanding excellence in defense work. Said Admiral Blandy in making the presentation, I quote, those who know the tradition of the Navy E are proud to win the privilege of displaying it. Those who see it displayed say, there go the champions in their class. Here, therefore, this award has been restricted to those in Navy service, but under the conditions in which we live today, with defense depending so largely on the performance of the Navy, industry and American workmen, we believe that they also are eligible to become candidates for the Navy E for Outstanding Achievement. Of the hundreds of firms engaged now on Navy Ordnance assignments, the DuPont Company is one of the first 14 to receive special recognition for excellent performance. The employee who received the E Lapel Button Award on behalf of his 1,000 fellow workers is here tonight, and I think his chest is a bit of a challenge and I think his chest is a bit expanded because of that new blue and white E badge that I see on his coat. He is Mr. Dennis C. Fay, a veteran of 43 years of unbroken service with DuPont at Carney's Point. Every employee of that plant today is privileged to wear a similar E badge, and incidentally, about 40 of them have been with DuPont 25 years or longer. Dennis, how does it feel to be a champion? I'm so proud of this button, ladies and gentlemen. That is the fear of my life and I might lose it. I intend to wear it only to very special affairs. Now I ask what man wouldn't be proud of it, coming as it does from the Navy of the United States. And I want to say this while I'm on my feet, down at Carney's Point we're all Americans, and the whole lot of us is mighty proud of that too. The only isms we have are Americanism and patriotism. We're working for the best company in the best country in the world. We're turning out all the power we know how to make, and added some more for good measure. The boys at Carney's Point didn't expect to be winning any medals. None of us is looking for a fight, but none of us is aiming to run away from it either. It's the other fellow we hope to see running. Thank you, Dennis Fay, and more power to you and the 1,000 men and women at Carney's Point. I think you've expressed the spirit of all DuPont men in this emergency. To do the job that's to be done with a bid added for good measure. Powder is only one of many products that DuPont is furnishing the nation in this present emergency. Neoprene, plastics, nylon, dyes, plating materials, and chemicals of all kinds are being produced on schedule in the common effort to make this America of ours strong and safe. Yes, the nation's security is a vital objective in the DuPont pledge better things for better living through chemistry. Next week, the Cavalcade of America presents Kenneth Del Mar as Stephen A. Douglas, the little giant. Idolized and feared by the men of his time, Douglas might have defeated Abraham Lincoln for the presidency. Why didn't he? The answer to that question will be found in our play next week. In our story of chemistry at work in our world, we will tell you how chemistry contributes to better dental health. We hope you'll join us at the same time next week when DuPont again presents the Cavalcade of America. In support of William Johnstone as Perry White on tonight's program were the Cavalcade players. Agnes Moorhead was Joan Brooks, Frank Reddick was Phil Barlow, and John McIntyre, General Beauregard. Our drama was written by Eric Barnell, and Cavalcade gratefully acknowledges its obligation for material in the new historical novel Red Lanterns on St. Michael, written by Thornwell Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe University, published and copyrighted by E.P. Dutton and Company Incorporated. The orchestra and the original musical score were under the direction of Don Burry. On the Cavalcade of America, your announcer is Clayton Collier, sending best wishes from DuPont. This is the red network of the National Broadcasting Company.


Welcome to our video on strategies and actions scanning for specific information. In this video, we will be looking at some examples of how you can support your students as they gain mastery over your content while also helping them with the reading skill of scanning for information. To help me with our video today, we have Dr. Moon Cho. She is a visiting professor in the linguistics department at Ohio University and has years of experience with studying about EMI and teaching EMI courses, such as in math and statistics. Pay attention to the strategies that Dr. Cho uses for helping students with scanning. Welcome, Dr. Cho. Dr. Cho is going to demonstrate scanning activities with us today. When students scan for information, that means they are looking for specific information. Think about all the times you scan for information, no matter in what language. You scan for information when you read a menu and look for desserts. You scan for information when you read a journal article and are trying to find the results of a specific research question. You even scan for information when you review a list of TV shows or movies, trying to find the one that you are looking for. For our students, they need to be able to scan for information so that they can find information fast. Scanning does not mean reading carefully for main ideas. It means looking for specific information. One of the reasons it's important is because it helps good readers read quickly and for a purpose. Can you imagine if you wanted to have dessert at your favorite restaurant and you had to read every word carefully of the appetizers, salads, main dinners and drinks before you got to the desserts? That would be very frustrating. It's better to scan and find what you need fast. Students need help with this though. You can help them by training them to look for information and not read every word. For example, students can look for key words based on the information they need. Imagine our dessert example. You might look over the menu quickly to find the word chocolate. When you're scanning, you can also look for the shapes of words. Imagine the outline of the word dessert in your mind. There's a tall D at the beginning and a tall T at the end of the word. Imagining that can help you find the word. Another strategy is to guess where you think the information will be found. Most restaurants put the desserts at the end of the menu.  In academic reading, if you're looking for the results of a study, you go toward the end to find the results section and then scan that area for specific information. We can practice something together. I'm going to put up a text from a sociology textbook about the scientific method. But first, I'm going to tell you the information I want you to look for. As soon as I put up the text on the screen, try to find the information I asked you for as quickly as you can. That usually means you don't read the beginning of the paragraph word by word. Instead, you quickly look for key words related to my question. Are you ready? Okay, here is the information I want you to look for. What does reliability mean? We'll look at the longer texts together and then zoom into the part of it. Okay, did you get the answer quickly? We can see that reliability means if someone reproduces a study, how likely it is that the results will be the same. You probably noticed that the word reliability was bolded, which helped with scanning.


Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Yoon Chang from Cochlear.ai, and we create ears for artificial intelligence. Let me kick off with a short question. How many of you use AI-enabled devices like this? Yeah, many people use smartphones, for sure. With the power of advanced machine learning technology, now these kinds of devices can see things and understand what people talk to them. But you know what? The thing is, these kind of devices cannot really understand sounds other than voice commands at the moment. We are all surrounded by millions of sounds that contains important clues of our surroundings. For example, when you listen to the raining sound, like in this morning, you might think of taking an umbrella or closing the window. Also, when you know a fire truck is approaching by listening to its siren sound, and this is the core question that triggered our innovation, how great would it be if AI can understand sounds other than speech? Cochlear.ai is a research-based company focusing on audio cognition technology, founded by a bunch of PhDs from Music and Audio Research Group, Cell National University. We provide our technology through cloud APIs, as well as on-device solutions. The system finds the presence of acoustic events, music, and speech, as well as in-depth information about it. Operating in a real-time, in a real-world environment, since API is the first available general purpose audio cognition API, as a simple use case, if smart speaker can understand the sounds of coughing, then it can be useful, for example, ask a user to take a cold medicine. Or analyzed age or gender information can be used for customized services, too. Furthermore, gunshot or glass-breaking sound can be used for surveillance purpose, too. And all these sounds will be heard in very meaningful ways with our system. We've been identified as our top four AI startups in the autonomous system in 2018 by NVIDIA.  Cochlear.ai, we create years for artificial intelligence. Thank you. What is your strategy to go to market? At the moment, we are building APIs. And go-to-market strategy will be for now, we are having several B2B projects with big IT companies. So for now, we are discussing with mobile for manufacturers and music streaming service providers for music recommendation, too. So I think having collaboration projects with big companies for put this technology into device will be our first market for us. How are you building out the data set to train your system? Actually, there is two different kind of things. We actually really collect the data because we really need high-quality data. So we use part-time jobs and tagging and labeling, and we do by ourselves, too. And we are collecting license-free online data, too. Any more questions? And the present level of investment being made in the firm? I'm sorry? What level of investment do you have and where from? At the moment, we just finished the Cideron investment last year, and we are looking for Series A investment in 2019, mid to end of 2019. And have you talked to any of the in-home device companies yet? Actually, we are talking with some home appliance companies, which we cannot reveal at the moment, but there is ongoing project with POCs. All right, thank you very much.


In this video we will show you how to add a dashboard tile and edit its layout. We will explain how you can add tiles to your dashboard, create your dataset by adding the search criteria, edit your chart layout and edit the formatting options. To access your dashboard click on dashboard in the navigator menu on the left hand side. To add or edit a tile click on the task button on the right hand side. In the task menu you can click add tile edit layout. You will now see the add tile edit layout menu on the right hand side of the screen. When you click on the drop down menu behind the view field you'll see all the different views you can choose from. Each view contains a series of predefined tiles that you can add to your dashboard and each view contains an empty tile. The empty tile allows you to build your own tile from scratch. If you are looking for a specific tile in the view you can search for it using the search field. This way you can filter out all tiles containing specific information. Next select and drag your tile from the view list to your dashboard or use the add button that appears when you hover your mouse over the name of the tile to add it. The tile will now load and show you a graph, chart, numbers or a list of information depending on the type of tile you chose to add. You can change the size of the tile by hovering over it with your mouse and dragging the corners into the desired position. In the top right corner of each tile you'll see two buttons. The circle with the cross through it allows you to remove the tile and the square with the pen allows you to edit it. Click on the edit button to open the edit tile dialogue. This dialogue contains two tabs, the data set and the layout tab. In the data set tab you control what data you wish to extract from super offer CRM and in the layout tab you can decide how you want to present your information. All predefined tiles contain specific search criteria to visualize, in this case, my weighted forecast. You can add, change and delete search criteria if needed. To add a search criterion click on the plus add button. You can now add the field you want to search for in your database. Click on the field name that is first on the criteria line you've added. A drop-down menu containing all the fields in super offer CRM will appear. Each field that you add or change will contain its own specific drop-down menus that you can use to build your data set. You can delete a criterion by clicking the delete button on the right hand side of the edit tile dialogue. When you've added all the search criteria you want to use you can open the layout tab and check how your tile looks. You could always go back to the data set tab to change your search criteria. The first and most important decision you'll have to make is to choose which chart type you want to use. You have nine options to choose from. You can choose a pie chart, big numbers, a list, column chart, a bar chart, a line chart, an area chart, a column plus line chart and a bar plus line chart. Each chart will have its own specific fields that you have to consider when you choose a chart. For this video we'll choose the column chart. Now let's decide how we want to measure the information from your data set. Here we can count the total numbers, calculate the sum, calculate the average, see the max value or the minimum value. Let's select sum. Also we want to see the sum of the weighted amount of all your sales. That's why we'll select the weighted amount from the drop down menu. Now let's choose which currency we want to use on the chart. The next field, called buy, allows you to group the information in your chart. You'll see that this tile is grouped by sales date. You can also group it by, for example, company categories. When you choose another field to group your information by, the tile will update immediately. So you'll see what the tile looks like with the field that you choose. You can choose any field available in Supra for CRM from the drop down menu. When you're new to dashboard, we recommend you to play around with the different fields and see which results they give you. This will help you to get a better understanding of the options you have. You are always able to cancel the changes you've made by clicking the cancel button in the bottom right corner of the edit layout dialog. Depending on the field you choose, Supra for CRM will offer you different fields to further customize your tile. For example, if you choose a field containing a date, you can set the period that the tile should show. You can choose from our day all the way to a year. You can choose how you wish to group your data in every field. Depending on the chart type that you choose, you have several grouping options. You can choose not to group them, stack them, group them, or compare them to another time period or value. For this tile, we'll choose to stack by the columns. And finally, you can choose the field you want to use as the content for your columns. In this example, you see that the columns represent sold and open sales. To change the look of this tile, just choose a different field. For example, if you use a sale source, the tile will change and the columns will show different sale sources. To add even more information to the tile, you can fill out the formatting fields. You can add a title to the tile. You can add a title for the tile. You can add a title for the x and y axis. And you can choose where to show the legend. The legend can be visible below, on the left, on the right, or above the chart. You can also choose which labels are visible in your columns. Here you can choose to show no labels, numbers only, percentages only, or both numbers and percentages. And finally, you choose how you want to sort your columns. You can sort them by value, rank, or label. When you've made all the changes you want to make and added all the information that should be visible on the tile, you can press save. Then click done in the top right corner to save the changes you've made to your dashboard. We have now shown you how to add a new dashboard tile and edit its layout. As you've seen in this video, the new dashboard feature offers you great flexibility and a larger range of options to visualize the information saved in your database. Thank you for watching.

Oh splendor's all right You don't have to hold on to him spike. He won't run away. I don't know about that You ran away with you didn't he? No, I didn't run away. He just got excited when the saddle slipped He just kept going around in the circle. Yeah, that's right Well, all right, then I'll let loose of them. Go ahead and eat some grass pony I don't know how to thank you for saving me. I forget it Jerry I was glad I happened to be coming by this way and hurt your hollering besides This makes us even now. What do you mean fine?  Murray was looking for a man. Well, anyway, I'm awful thankful to you I needed a job pretty bad Jerry Your job means everything to me.

He likes most everybody I think he took a shine to me. Give me his paw and wag his tail like he's greeting an old friend Sure, he likes his fight. You really think he does. I'm sure of it. Here Rags.  Well, that makes me feel pretty good Jerry. Why? Well, because they say dogs have a pretty good sense I I mean they can judge humans mean that they only like nice people. Yeah, that's what I mean Well, I guess that's right because when we first joined the surface There was a man named Loran who was awful mean and Rags didn't like him right from the start Yeah, uh-huh and finally Lorenz held up been at the Baymaster and stole a payroll money. You don't say yeah But they caught him. All right now. He's in jail for about 20 years. I think Nice If I was bad he'd roll at me wouldn't he sure would Too bad. They don't use dogs on juries so they can pick the right man. What do you mean by oh nothing? Oh, how do you feel now? We got your breath back. Yeah, I feel all right I guess I better get Splendor now and tie him up in the horse tent. Oh, I'll get him for you.

Just put it down right there That's that. Goodbye Splendor. See you later. And the next time we ride, I'll see that the saddle doesn't slip Gonna ride him again, huh Jerry? Sure. Why not?

Why you do? I think the circus is great Well, I wouldn't give it up for anything. Well, you see there's bike and Jerry's blood already The boys do to spend his life with a circus while he could spend his life a whole lot worse Yeah, you're right there.

Yes That's the one and you said you thought you knew who it was or had seen him What about her? Well, I think I know who that man is I'm not exactly sure yet, but I'm going to find out Find out for sure if I'm right. Well, who do you think it is? Well, I'll tell you just as soon as I'm a little more certain


My name is Tata. This is Charles. We will be your two professional robbers today What would you say that? Why is it our names? No, that's fine. You said it will be two professional robbers. Why not? Let's go. Why is it opening? It's my time. Nobody move. Who uses a belt during a robbery? You want to be like this guy? It's nothing happens. Let's go home. Yeah, I think you just hold it. Okay guys, we will be back. Okay, don't move. If you move, I will not hesitate to shoot. Don't move. You got this thing? Yeah, we have authority. Let's go do number two. Over the safe. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this robbery where all your possessions will be taken from you. After this, we shall take off to the Maldives to have an amazing life, to ensure no problem. Fasten your hands on the table so you can purchase safety first, be provided. However, we shall enjoy one right after this robbery.   Thank you and enjoy your robbery. You, come here. Charles. What? I don't want to do this anymore. Is it a little too late to say that? Yeah, but I'm just not in the mood. Okay, what do you guys think? I'll tell you what, put your hands up if you don't want to get robbed today. I don't have the hands up. I tell you what, let's do this tomorrow. I'll be in a better mood. Can we come on you guys?

Let's open an account here. We have all the documents here, our names, our addresses. All the evidence to prove our honesty is here because we trust this bank.


I'm here with Coach Graham Miller, Jamie Watson here. A terrific, tremendous game. Really enjoyed calling it and watching it. Three to two final. What did you say to the guys at halftime? Yeah, it was a nice second half star, right? Now, we keep challenging them. We got to start faster. We had the same first half performances we did against Washington where we were slow to start. We did get the first goal, but we kind of got through it. And I thought, well, let's second half. Let's go after them. And it was those guys. We tell them to be creative and do something, and just a great ball from DR to Jordan. And Jordan did the rest. We challenge the guys. They've got to be quicker at the gates, first half, and the second half, especially at home. We've got to take advantage of our home field. Tell me, what did you like about the play overall in the game from your guys this early in the season? Second game? Yeah, I think there's some positives. We're a young team. We had a really close game, hard fought game against Washington on Friday. The guys will learn from this. It's a young team. They've been through adversity before, and it's how they're going to handle this adversity. So the positives, we scored two goals, two nice finishes. We had plenty of other chances. We doubled up their shot total. So there was a lot of good things and obviously some areas that we need to improve on. Speaking of those areas, you mentioned a few, but what jumps out as you move forward, areas to improve? Well, I think the energy has to be there from the start. I've seen it warm up, and I think in the first half we saw that, second half after we scored, we kind of let them back in. We've got to go after teams. We've got to be relentless, and we gave plenty of guys an opportunity today to step up. So everybody's in this together. That loss is a team loss. It's not the mistakes that were made maybe at the back. It's a team loss. We're all responsible for it, including the coaches. So there's going to be no finger pointing. Now step up, and let's see if we can overcome this little bit of adversity early in the season. Of course, sir, you can. Last question. You're about to go into the locker room to address your team. What do you say to them before you head out to Gettysburg for the next game? Well, we'll just get, you know, we take it one game at a time. So we'll get back to work on Tuesday. I told the guys, OK, we leave it all in the field. You know, we left it all in the field on Friday. We leave it all in the field today.  Let's be angry. But then we'd be ready to go after our day off tomorrow and ready to go on Tuesday and earn your spot for playing against Gettysburg on Friday. Coach Graham Miller, thanks so much. Terrific game. Appreciate it.


This study developed an improved echotime independent technique for measuring transverse relaxation time of glutamate in the frontal cortex, where structural and functional abnormalities have been associated with psychiatric symptoms. The optimized four-flit angle measurements at 0°, 12°, 24°, and 36° with matched repetition time were used in 9 human subjects, 6F, 3M, 27 to 49 years old, at 7 Tesla. Longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates for glutamate were measured from a 2x2x2 cubic centimeters voxel placed in three different brain regions, gray matter-dominated medial prefrontal lobe, white matter-dominated left frontal lobe, and gray matter-dominated occipital lobe. The results showed that the scan time per voxel for measuring glutamate transverse relaxation was shortened by more than 50% compared to the original MRZSS technique. The glutamate T2 was found to be 117.5 ± 12.9 MS, mean ± standard deviation, N equals 9, 107.3 ± 12.1 N equals 9, and 124.4 ± 16.6 MS, N equals 8, in the medial frontal, left frontal, and occipital voxels, respectively. The improvements described in this study make the MRZSS technique a viable tool for reliably measuring glutamate relaxation from human subjects in a typical clinical setting and can be applied to characterize the intracellular environment of glutamatergic neurons in a variety of brain disorders.
