t's exactly what we'll be talking about here. It's something that EPCON does anyway. So if it's not a requirement already of PDR I would think that the commitment here would be that there would be a continuous sidewalk network through the community to the public right the way. And then with the open space requirement, open space commitment. So I'm not sure that we can make a specific commitment. I wouldn't know how to phrase it. I think to Commissioner Cease's point, you know, I was trying to understand what his concern was. I think he explained it to it and we were responding to that. EPCON's community, if you've been to them their home's feature, outdoor courtyard. And, you know, they're part of the Asia-stricted market is looking for low maintenance. So they have HOA maintained yards. That includes generally kind of a space behind the houses which I think most people will call their backyard. That's not really what happens in an EPCON community. It's more like an HOA yard that is kind of continuous through there. So, you know, if that's what it is, I don't know that we would make that into a zoning commitment but just to try to give you an example of what EPCON communities are like. So I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't know how to put that as a commitment. Mr. Cahill, does that answer your question? I mean, I think it does. What we're hearing you commit to is what are UDO requirements. So I'm not foreseeing anything additional that you're adding other than you're trying to provide a dialogue or a context around the current development plan. But what you're describing is things required in the existing UDO at that level. Yeah, I think that back. Okay. Great. Mr. Cahill, I assume your questions have been answered. And if so, I don't see any commissioners looking to speak for the first time. So I'm gonna circle back to Commissioner Miller. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So I have a question again for the developer to take one more throw at this to see if I can make this case something I can vote for. EPCON is big.  Do you not have a townhouse product that would be complimentary to your single family product in this site? And if you were to deploy some townhouses in here, would not that make it so that you could perhaps give us a little bit more land in the programmatic priority tree protection area from the natural heritage program? This is Jason Coffey. Interesting you asked that. We have had some different kind of attached units in our history, both a four plex kind of pinwheel design that was attached, that would actually take more, right, more space here than we would like. If it's a pinwheel, I can see where it would. Yeah, but we have recently been doing some R&D and looking at townhouse opportunity. We did not see just because of the nature of this location, we did not see this as necessarily a townhome location. Everybody else sees it that way. What's that? I said everybody else sees that part of the county as a townhome location. Yeah, and we just thought that in keeping with, we have Andrew's Chapel, frankly, which is around the corner, and the success of what we sold at that location seemed to make sense with the market and we didn't really get into demographics, but the demographics, I know you're talking about some different types of housing and there's a real need for 55 plus housing. Yeah, I'm not arguing about that. Yeah. I'm arguing about attached units and how you could add this to this product, add this to this development in a way that would free up some more space. I'm looking to add it one, because I think a variety of housing types is nice, but also because to give you some greater opportunity to cluster units in a way that we could trade for more preserved natural area. And of course, I'm a big proponent of committed elements in a development plan that give the developer a certain amount of freedom overlapping ranges of unit types as long as they stay under a unit maximum, so that when you get in there and you see, either because of engineering considerations or even market considerations, you wanna shift your numbers along the way, you can do that. You might have to change your site plan, but you can do that. I'm for that kind of flexibility, but I am looking for a way to make this development just enough better on the broad range of issues that we've raised here that I can support it and write comments to the council saying I've been a skeptic about the serral space and but not this one. Would like to be able to do that. Got two months left on the planning commission and I don't have very many opportunities to be a cheerleader for a project and I was hoping you could fix it. So this would be the project. So we'll say, Commissioner Miller, that because of the way this process works, I mean, one of the things we did when we had our neighborhood meeting was discuss this product type. So, in fairness, we did make it clear that what we were considering here a single family detached home. And my understanding is, and I'm happy to correct it by the planning staff if this case, but I'm not sure that we could kind of change the unit type without essentially having to, I mean, not to start all the way over, but go back to your neighborhood meeting and that type of thing. If I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, I think what you're saying is that you would like to see a commitment here that instead of it just being single family that single family and or townhomes would be allowed on this property. If it would make it easier for you to give me that 33% tree save that I've been angling for. So I think we're gonna be able to answer tonight. I mean, it's very, very close. At 33%, I think it would be like an additional three acres which is just kind of hard for us to know specifically if we can get that close. I've got a goal here. It's going to be to save as many trees as possible, but this site does have some challenging topography that's going to know bones about it, so we can require some retaining walls and grading and clearing. We admit to all that. So we're at 29%, which is almost 50% more than what would be required. And we're not gonna be able to commit tonight to doing an additional 30% in order. Well, we can delay if that would make it easier for you to answer the questions with certainty. So, I hate to say it, but when Commission Member C speaks about the intense statement of PDR, it reminds me of when I joined the Planning Commission and that I frequently cited the intense statements too. And I'm a little bit ashamed that as my service has dragged on, but I have stopped doing that and I'm glad he's back to remind us that these intense statements are real things and their expressions, strong expressions of policy and that the PDR tool, and in fact, all development plan zoning in Durham is set up so that we can get better. We can have better design and better planning. And I know that the staff told us that the goals and objectives that we should be looking at are the current development, I mean, current Comprehensive Plan. Quite frankly, I like the goals and objectives on good design in the current Comprehensive Plan. So I'm untroubled by the fact that we are working off the old one. So while I came into this case thinking, okay, there's a lot here that I like. What's the likelihood that we could do better on this piece of property under the current climate where the council's approving everything anyway? But I'm convinced by what I've heard the public say and what some of you commission members say that I believe this project could be better. It could more closely conform to the vision of PDR that the PDR intense statement lays out for us. And I would like for it to be, have just those increments of betterness in it like a unit mix. And also saving more of the natural environment there since it is a programmatic priority for tree protection than we're getting. And so I have slowly been persuaded into a no vote and I've done everything I can to give the developers an opportunity to make it a little bit better. And we're not getting there. Well, let me try to address a little bit. I don't know if I can get all the way where you're thinking, but I think there's a couple of components. One is we do now have a townhome product, like I mentioned, we did not anticipate going here because frankly, we had the neighborhood meeting. They were, I think happy that we were doing the detached homes that we've done in our typical communities. I'm not sure, again, no, alluded to that. I'm not sure if that does to commitments or things we have alluded to to the neighbors. When it comes to the percentage, again, of tree save that the difficulty, which I mentioned before, is without engineering, you can make any number. We thought by going from 20 to 29, I know that's maybe not what we've heard some other folks think we should be. We thought that was a significant improvement from what the UDO says and the commitment there. And even that was we're taking some risk knowing that we may have to do some different things and lose lots and lose different things because of when we get into the actual engineering, when Acres and their group get through with this. So we really thought that was a huge improvement. We can commit to doing a different product, some amount of product. Again, it's new to us, but I don't know that a factor can affect the percentage just because of where we are in the process and the uncertainty as to what you can actually say from a tree perspective given that we're almost 50% above the requirement. And we thought the large stand of trees at the end of panoramic was not only a great decision for the neighborhood, but also a great decision for the ability to get the additional tree save that we thought would be warranted in this area. And we thought both of those were really supportive from the neighborhood and we thought we'd get support here tonight because of those two design elements we brought to this community. And I appreciate all of that, I really do. But I always have to fall back to the ideas is that a satisfying even more than the minimum code expectations doesn't entitle anybody to a rezoning. Rezoning is a political decision, not an administrative decision. You're not applying for a permit here. You're asking for the rules to be changed in your favor. And I think we always have to remember that when we look at a rezoning. And those are my final comments. Thank you, Mr. Chairman for letting me go a second time. And when you're ready, I'll make a motion. Thank you. Well, I'll recognize commissioner Durkin and then if no other commissioners raise their hand, I'll be back commissioner Miller for that motion. Commissioner Durkin. Sure, thanks. Before I assume answers, yes, can staff confirm whether this parcel would be included in the Southeast Durham small area plan? Yes, this would be in that area. Okay, that's what I meant. Thank you. So given that fact, I'm running no for this. I think we need to slow down in this area, especially given what community members have said and knowing that the small area plan is coming and coming soon, I think we really need to think a little bit more holistically in this part of the county and the city and what we're doing and what we want the development to look like. And a development of this size, this acreage and at that price point is not something that I would like to vote for without having the small area plan further progressed. Thanks. Thank you. Commissioner Cease, the second time. Commissioner Cease, are you, I think you raised his hand and then got frozen. So I'll give it one second to see if he's able to join us again. All right, commissioner Miller, I'm gonna, we have talked, he's spoken before, so I'm gonna ask that you make the motion and we'll wait for him to rejoin to vote. Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. You're sure that you don't wanna give him another minute or so? Yeah, he'll have the opportunity to debate the motion once he rejoins us. All right, if you wanna do it that way, then I'm perfectly comfortable making the motion. Then with regard to case Z2000030, the courtyards at Dock-Nickels, I move that we send this forward to the city council with a favorable recommendation. Seconded. Thank you. So moved by commissioner Miller, seconded by commissioner Morgan.  We have a live motion, but I will give you a moment if you would like to make a statement on debating the motion and then we'll have the vote. You're muted. I was simply going to add in response to commissioner Miller's comments that in terms of talking about mix of units and numbers of units and things like that, I mean, this is a site where notwithstanding commissioner Durkin's question, which I think is absolutely appropriate concern with regards to the Southeast Durham plan, this is the kind of site where you'd almost want to see twice the number of units occupying half the amount of built acreage in terms of saving trees. And so I wanted to make sure I stayed that and I'll leave it at that. Thank you. So we've got the motion and a second and so we will have the roll call vote. Mandolia. No. Baker. No. Hang on one minute. I just broke my pen. Baker was no. I'm Busby. No. Cameron. No. Cut right. No. Durkin. No. Kynchon. No. Lowe. No. McIver. No. Miller. Unfortunately, no. Morgan. No. Zeiss. No. And it's filled unanimously. Thank you everyone. That was our final case for this evening. Grace, is there anything that's worth noting as we head to our next meeting, which is the regular June 8th meeting? Sure. I'll let Mr. Stock fill you in on what you can be expecting next month. And again, we appreciate you taking the time to hear from the policy staff today tonight about the land use, excuse me, the comprehensive plan and the steps forward. Our pleasure. I'm gonna let Mr. Stock take it from here. Hello all. Michael Stock with the Planning Department. We have two cases scheduled for that meeting. One is a continued case Griffin place from your April 13th meeting and a new one. It'll be up in the Bahama area. Oh, and Mr. Stock, will you remind everyone on the call and anyone that might be listening of the committee meeting too that's coming up? Yes, and there is a, the special planning commission committee meeting is a meeting at seven o'clock tomorrow evening. I believe the Zoom information is on our website. Michael, is that case in Bahama a big one or a little one in terms of acreage? It's a little one. It's right at the intersection of Staggville and Bahama. It's just an expansion of a CN zoned area. All right, thank you very much. Thank you. And just to clarify, the meeting tomorrow is the policy committee that was set up a while back. And Commissioner Baker is leading that effort. I don't think that group has met since December if I remember correctly. So I just wanted to clarify that because I saw a couple of surprise faces. So this is a committee that was set up a while back and has been, I think paused in its work and is picking up some of its work again starting tomorrow if I have that correctly. Mr. Chairman, it's going to need members too. So I guess I'm speaking for Mr. Baker but we're going to need some members because at least one is dropping off. Thank you. Thanks. If there's nothing else, this meeting is adjourned. Thanks everyone for your time. Have a good night. Thank you.

This video is about doing the rail the rail the bottom rail between the two Legs is going to absolutely be the easiest thing For you to build it is nothing more than if you look at the plans It's nothing more than One board that is 42 inches long and then another board and there are going to be two of those on the inside and then there's going to be a board on the outside of both sides that is 29 and 1 quarter inches long you're simply going to take the shorter board the 29 and 1 quarter and you're going to glue that 4 and a quarter inches from the end of the longer board and And so four and a quarter plus your 29 and something will leave a certain distance eight and a half And that's going to be your rail eventually you'll round off On one side just for looks that's as simple as it can possibly get Just cut them to length and glue them together With a little four and a quarter inch offset and you've got your rails obviously there's One rail for each of the two saw horses, so you're going to do two rails


The President of the European Parliament May I kindly ask both presidents to unveil the plaque which will remain with this 110 years old olive tree the first message With this olive tree this 100 years old olive tree is the message that we need a greener Europe And we need to move forward and do not deviate from the goals We have set to make our continent more green greener the second message is That we need today more than ever a more democratic Europe a Europe with its people and It is true But just like your house the European Parliament our house the European Committee of Regents With democratic Legitimacy since we both have members that are Democratic elected on the ground from the citizens of Europe We are here to make sure That the future of Europe Will be based On a bottom-up approach We shared the philosophy that politics is a force for good And that those closest to citizens those of us elected in the name of citizens must work closely together and Just like the olive tree is rooted in the ground Our project is rooted in the European regions since Ancient Greece the olive branch has been a symbol of peace and a symbol of friendship and With a brutal war on our continent It is heartwarming to witness what our European regions are doing to support women Children and men forced to flee their homeland olive tree is a symbol of Perseverance it is known for its longevity and For its resilience to periods of droughts and fires and I cannot think of a better comparison To our union. Thank you very much for both to both presidents Thank you to all of you Who found time to join us today?

And it's time for our very first hot topic, which will be reviewing the national security of the country ahead of incoming government. Global terrorism index of 2020 rated Nigeria third worst country within security in the world. The Northwest and the North Central are the most troubled region, followed by the Southeast region, where unknown gunmen and process session agitators have made region security climate very, very unsafe. We've been joined by Mr. Augustine Ega, he is a security expert resident here in Lagos. Good morning Mr. Ega. Good morning, my pleasure. Mr. Ega, why has Nigeria not been able to tackle the multi-dimensional and pervasive insecurity across the nation, government after government, but it appears to be getting worse? From all indications, I think they have not been able to pinpoint what they need to do at the state level. So far, there have been some provision for resources, but the state government, to me, I will lay my own kind of concern on the state government, and the governors that are coming on board. They don't have, they have not built of a networking platform that will bring all the resources together and then provide the results. And then security is coming from the state and the local government, while the federal government is just the general overseer of everything. And so I believe that all what have been extended to state government should be appropriately accounted for, especially the security votes. They need to build a platform that they will handle, make all the secretaries. Like for instance, before the, after the terrorist bombing in the U.S., there was a review of the entire security structure of the U.S., and after that they came out with one particular formidable front that could help them deal with the security issue, the internal security issue, which is called the homeland security. So Nigeria, like you said, from over time, we've had the same issue over and over, and we don't have a complete body like the homeland security that will look into every aspect of security, because security is like a very big, a big building with many rooms. So all of those rooms need to be cut out for, and so that we can have a, we can have a corporate plan that will totally reduce the insecurity in Nigeria. But now it's like a trial and error. Every government comes with a trial and error. There's no structure. That's what I can say. There is no structure that is actually deleted, the security for all. But you're putting some blame on the state government because they get the security votes. But their own excuse is always that they don't own the security infrastructure as it is. The police, the army, everything belongs to the federal government, and they have to take permission before they are able to do anything. So when you say that the state governments have not done enough, what else can they do in light of the kind of powers that the constitution gives them as state government in terms of security? You see, Nyangu, security is a very complicated domain, and even the federal government alone cannot do. As long as we have this infrastructure in every state, it is actually important for every governor to be knowledgeable enough to harness some of these resources that have been given. For instance, you should always have a security committee. In every state, there should be a platform. This committee is very important. For instance, in Lagos, two decades ago in Lagos, Lagos was very, very difficult to move around. We had big pockets. We had so many violence acts in Lagos. But until they have this security fund, this fund that they had in Lagos, that they had to bring the private and public partnership to get funding, and then to build a structure that they are able to respond to so many emergencies in Lagos. You see that security in Lagos, in security in Lagos, have been reduced at least for minimum. But we look at some certain states that don't even have. They have a lot of terrorist attacks or attempts of penetration in Lagos. But of course, it's not the news that would be in the public domain because of funding. They have all these terrorism trying to invade Lagos, but they are actually ready to go because they have a structure that can inform, that can gather intelligence and quickly inform the command and control in Lagos. But in some states, it's totally not available. For instance, look at Benway State. We had the first issue that happened when it was in TPC, a letter in PDP. The thing repeated itself, and it was still crying to the federal government to send help. Meanwhile, you have to help. All you need is just to get this response and work with them.  You must work with these structures that they have given you. It's not like waiting for permission or waiting for a time that something has happened and you begin to react. Reactive security can never solve Nigerian security problems. Reactive is actually building a structure on ground and looking at every avenue that will cost the security before it happens. When they have these structures, I think even the federal government would support because they know that they are doing the right, they are doing something good. Like Lagos, Lagos will always receive support because they have a structure. But some state governments don't have anything on ground. And so when it happens, they are confused because there's no prep plan. They begin to call federal government to solve them. Exactly. You know where people are dying. Edgar, you know, I like what you're saying and I believe that Nyamgo's question is actually very apt. However, just like you, I am against a situation where states record hundreds and thousands of their people dying and then you have the state governors crying, crying repeatedly to the federal government. Now tell us how far they can go. Each state should be able to go with the security vote that they receive in their domains as chief security officers of their states. How far can they go? And how far should they go? The first thing they must, yeah, the first thing every governor must know is that there is time for policies and there's time for business. And they must know that they are the chief executive and also the chief security officer of their state. So I don't want to believe that they have to approve approval from federal government. Of course, they must take the consent of the federal government. That is only if they have something very good to present. So one of the things I've seen, I think I've seen something in the governor of Kaduna states where they have a commissioner of security or something like that. Just you form that kind of commission within their system and get professional, get experts that will sit there and build a structure for them. The homeland security did not just come. In the U.S., they work with both private and public sexual policing and that's why they are able to get a very, very strong system that monitors everything for them. So every state government, they should start by having a commissioner. One of their commissioners should be a security expert and from them, they should be able to give them a blueprint that will work out a structure that will really enable security in every state. That isn't the first thing to achieve it because the governor might not have the technical knowledge on how security works. It's complex. Security is very complex. So they should have a commission on its own. Every state government should have a commission and they should get experts that will sit there and develop a plan that will totally reduce security in their state. That plan will contain the complex security management plan as a whole. People security. It will also include cyber security. It will include investigations of how we have the police doing that. But these are all platforms that will harness all of these platforms, including intelligence, active intelligence, and to ensure that they get all this information coming strategically and also enabling them to build tactical and operational plan that will help the security of the state. But currently, it's like the state governor, when he has a problem, he will call a commissioner of police. A commissioner of police will only do a reaction. It's just the reactive security they have at that moment. So he will only give them what they have. If the government takes their own decision. Yes. Mr. Ega, you know, it was the former head of state, General Sani Abacha, that said that when insecurity continues for more than 72 hours, they know that government is involved. Do you share this sentiment in some quotas that some state governors are complicit in some of these things we see happening in their states because they want to be able to justify the wastage of their security votes and some of the things that are best known to them? I want to believe because Abacha is one of the best security officers Nigeria have ever got, including Al-Mustafa. These are the best security guards in Nigeria. You can check records. So if this statement is coming from Abacha, I believe 100 percent. Why? Because they are accountable. Every state governor is accountable for the life and safety of the citizens of that state. So they are supposed to seek measures in which they can build a security system that will protect their people, protect their business in that state. So if the government is really not doing anything, then they say that they are blaming it on federal government. I think the people should stop looking at the state governors and hold them accountable. There should be accountability. Why should people be dying? When you have the results, you have the military, you have the police, you have every sector of the national security in every state. And then you see how the budget they are supposed to control and then bring them together and sit at the work instinct to achieve the results. But they are not bringing them together. It's only when the needs come help them. They call the military or they call the police or they call the Navy. It's only when there is a need. Maybe they say kick naps. They say piracy issue. There's some violence that you call it. No, it shouldn't be like that. There should be a common platform that all these people should always meet and work together at all times. That is where we can get results. Private sector people should be dead and intelligent. They are knowledgeable in the practice security. They are good in reactive security. So you cannot join the two together and just say, okay, the police. They will never get the results. Okay. Every state, as I understand, has a state security advisor. But what you're saying is like taking it a notch higher. What else will they be doing differently from what they're doing now? Because when you have a state security advisor, he also gathers these people, the security heads, police army and the rest of those people to come to a round table and always discuss these things. But what else should they do that they are not doing now that you are recommending to have a commission that will be in charge of security? What else can they do? What they can do is that I want to believe from every of my assessments from all the violence that have been happening in Nigeria, they don't have a security master plan. It's not enough to just call the bodies, the security heads in every state and say, okay, I'm the state advisor, I'm the state security advisor. Let us discuss on security matter. I mean a plan, a blue plan, a master plan that will work over years, over the years. This plan should be clearly researched. I see, repeat, physical security system, how are we going to address it? How is the state going to address the corporate security as a whole? How is it going to address political security? How is it going to address practice management? And you see that there's so much lack in practice management. Because practice management is a very proactive document or a system that will really help to prevent crisis in any situation. But when they don't have this plan, they wait until when something happens and then they start calling for help. It's too late at that moment. They know how you can fix it. Quick fix will not work. So they should have well-written plans and then evaluate them and see in which area they can implement this plan. Because let us take into account that every state and every local government have its own security challenge. So every plan will not work for every state. So that is why they will actively conduct a risk assessment of their state regarding the local government that they're in charge of and then advise on the particular system that will work in every local government. In some states, or in some local government, they have kidnapped and finished. In some states or some local government, they have pirated. And of course in just some areas, in just terrorism, some places, hedge men, some places, they have banned difference. So you can see that every state and every region have their own security. And that is why analysis is very important. They must analyze and they must develop a blueprint and that blueprint must be enforced and it must be fully funded. Before we can move in ahead. Okay. In 18 days from now, a new government will be sworn in. Some have said that Nigeria cannot progress or make any kind of significant success if we continue as we are structured. If we do not return to regions. What would you say to the incoming government as we seek for how to solve the security challenge? Should Nigeria be restructured? I think the Nigerian government has been shying away from the truth. The real thing is that you cannot manage a system that is too big and too boggled. If they really restructure the regional leadership, it is a step ahead of progress in Nigeria. I am truly in support of this. Because you can actually see the system. Like we said, every region has its challenges, both economic challenges and of course, security challenges. So it is the first step at which they can begin to address security issues objectively. And so I'm in support of this regional restructuring. It's very important. And actually, as what we've seen over time, you can bring the best head of state from anywhere. You will get confused in the Nigerian system. That is very true. Because the system is not a system that enables progress to stay. I can say from the level of management. It is very difficult. And there can be no meaningful progress with aspects of all checkmaking. You can see the position we are finding in the international index. It's very bad. That's the first place. And so which of the investors across the world that want to bring this money to Nigerian investors? When you are reading number three. And when we run to other nations, we have a system that is working. They even take money to those countries that are invested because they have a good system that is working. So I want to believe that it should be the priority for any government that is coming. There must be decisive in dealing with accreditation. So that is more like a political restructuring. When they are restructuring the security apparatus, the security infrastructure, what do you recommend they do, just as a final thing that you answer? Like what I can say, I still believe that the state governors are not doing enough. The federal government, from the system we practice, the federal government is there to support them. But because the citizens in Nigeria, they dwell in every state and every local government. They should take local government autonomy very seriously because that is where people are. The effects of every security come from a particular local government. And so I believe that this system should be built across the state, local government. This is where we can really contribute meaningfully. Or every state government can contribute meaningfully today. In security and security in Nigeria. All right. Well, thank you so much, Mr. Augustine Ega. Mr. Augustine Ega is a security expert who has joined us to review the national security ahead of incoming government 18 days from now. Thank you so much for your time. My pleasure. You're still watching The Breakfast. We'll come back to take a look at a second hot topic. Stay with us.


I want to share a couple of to-do list tips for those who use that tool. I've been using to-do list now. I don't know. It's been more than five years anyway. And prior to that, I jumped from this to-do software to that one to that one. So I've tried various ones and then some of them I tried for like two or three years. To-do list has been the longest-lasting one and I've still been quite happy about it. And it's very simple to get started and it's so full-featured now that it's ridiculous. It has so many things you can do with it. But let me give you a couple tips. Now, one thing that I won't be able to show you is my screen because there are some private to-do items there that, you know, I wish there was some kind of shell to-do list account I could use and show. Anyway, I'll just talk through. Those of you who used to-do list hopefully will be able to understand what I'm saying. First of all, to-do list has different priority levels. There's P1, 2, 3, and 4. P1 is red. P2 is orange. P3 is blue. And P4 is, I guess, clear, clear color flag. Four different color flags. Four priority levels. And the way I practically use that is P1 is basically before noon.  P3 is either, like, during my, right now, the way I use P3 is like evening, evening to-dos. And P4 is optional slash to-be categorized still. So those of you who use it or use some kind of priority level for your task system, that might be real helpful to kind of think that, think it that way. Because when you look at the today list, oh, I got a lot of stuff to do today, the first step in prioritizing or decluttering or just making it more doable is to say, well, which one should come first versus second versus, you know, optional, right? So again, P1, I say the first part of the day, generally before noon, but it could be like before 2 p.m. or something. P2 is the second part of the workday. You know, the final few hours of the workday, P3 is evening slash free time or some pockets during the day, like during lunch, I could look at my P3 items to see it. Like more personal type stuff. P4 is like I still need to categorize it for today and complete option or like right before bed or something like that. So that's one tip that might help. The second tip that's helpful is I find myself using the recurring command a lot. So for example, you know, what's one cool thing about to do is that you can type something out on a task and just with a few keystrokes automatically categorize and put the right due date. So for example, if I said, you know, give buddy a bath, my dog. Give buddy a bath every two weeks. I know it sounds like not very much, but you're not supposed to bathe the dog very often. I actually, to be honest, don't tell me, but we only give buddy a bath when he rolls in something in the park. So that ends up being like once a week, three months or something. I'm not sorry, my wife wipes him down at night. Now we're talking in a dog, dog stuff. But so for example, right, give buddy a bath, I would type give buddy a bath and this would be during the evening. So it would be P3, give buddy a bath, space P3 and automatically it'll tag it correctly and space, you know, number sign personal is like personal category, right, personal projects. And then I'll do and then the final thing I'll type is every with an exclamation mark two weeks, just type it like that. Every exclamation mark two weeks. And what it knows how to do is immediately reads that to say, okay, every two weeks, when you complete that item, we will recurred for two weeks from now. So for example, let's say it came up today, give buddy a bath. I'm like, oh, I'm too tired, we're not going to do it today. Then I will set that to do date as tomorrow. I will click on the do date and I'll click tomorrow and it instantly it's tomorrow. Okay, good. Tomorrow rolls around. Okay, yeah, we'll give good buddy a bath. So we give gave buddy a bath, I checked that off and instantly knows, ah, two weeks from the completion date is when it will come back up again. So that's what every exclamation mark means versus every. If you if I just type every two weeks without the exclamation mark after the word every, it recurs every two weeks from the date I set the task in versus the date of completion. For example, if I created the task every two weeks starting January 1st, then even if I postponed the task, I didn't give buddy a bath on January 1st, I gave buddy a bath on January 3rd. And then I finally kept postponing it and then I finally checked out. Yes, I did it. It'll still recur on January 14th or 15th. You see what I mean because I started the task on January 1st every two weeks. So then the next date naturally is January 15th. If I put every exclamation mark, but I actually gave buddy a bath on January 3rd, it'll recur on January 18 because it it's recurring based on the completion moment instead of based on when I created the task. So that's the cool thing about every with an exclamation mark. And you can even shorten that by doing EV without typing the whole word every just EV exclamation mark or EV, whatever. So to us has like cool little tricks like that where it makes it easy for me to.  It's like, Oh, yeah, that's right. Every six months, every nine months, every two years, every year, whatever may be, you know, pay property taxes. Actually, that is okay. That's a good example of where I it's not every exclamation mark is property taxes are due every April and every December. Doesn't matter if I keep postponing it several days. It's still I still wanted to come up on April that particular day. So then I do not use the exclamation markers. Anyway, so just a couple of to do is tips. Let's see what else is really useful. Oh, very importantly, no dating things is because like, when you start using it to do software like do is it's so tempting to set due dates for everything because you don't want to, you know, you don't want to go into a black hole, right? Like, oh, I wanted to come up because I want to keep her being reminded of what what this thing to keep slapping me in my face, so that I'll actually do it at some point. Terrible way of productivity.  So I don't forget about it. Right. And then you start accumulating 12 different things on a desktop. So you don't forget about like, I'm looking at this one thing right here. It's completely faded into the background. I didn't even know was there. It's the thing I put there for two months ago. Didn't even know was there. But it's just cluttering up the stuff. Terrible way of doing it. Right. So same thing with to do items. You don't just let it keep slapping you in the face and keeps postponing it. Bad idea. Practice using no date, meaning there's no date on this thing. There's no due date. But Georgia goes to a black hole. But the way you do it is by following what I teach capture categorized calendar, which is like, for example, an item, books to read is a great example, right? Links to view, right? Movies to watch or software to look at whatever I want to keep slapping my face. No, I put it's a book to read. I categorize it under the books to read category. And if it's really important book to read, I really want to read this sooner rather than later. It's really going to help my business or my belt. Put it as priority one without a date. No date priority one. So next time you're ready to read a book. Oh, I have a whole list of books to read. I go into my books to read. I sort by priority. Ah, there it is, rather than letting it keep on bothering me and cluttering on my to-do list every five days or every two weeks or whatever it may be. Just it keeps creating guilt. Not good. So capture categorized calendar means for every category, like books to read or software to explore, links to look at, you have a calendar recurring calendar spot makes sense. So every two weeks, you have a half hour calendar item that says check out your books to read or check out your software to explore. And when that calendar comes up, you're being faithful to your loyal, gentle assistant to calendar, your wise past self that says wouldn't it be wise to look at books to read or software to look at every two weeks, every four weeks, every six weeks, whatever the calendar thing pops up Saturday at 4pm. Every four weeks pops up. Oh, good. Okay, Saturday at 4pm. I've carved out half an hour to look at software to look at, look at links to look at, look at books to read or oh, where do I have, what do I have links to look at? What do I have software to look at? What do I have books to read to do this? Let me look at that category. There's no date on these items. Wonderful. I prioritize them or now I can do so a little bit better. So please no date items. Don't let things keep making you feel guilty or you have to keep postponing things. There's no that's no way to treat yourself. Okay. No date items more often put in the category and then put a calendar reminder slot in some time for that area of life that you care about. So I hope this is helpful. If you have any other to do with tips, I will make a video about it. But for those who use it, I hope this is helpful. And if you have any to do with tips, comment below. Others will probably find it beneficial as well.


It's going to be a reflection about the decline of the civil liberties in France and really the very sad and dramatic year that France has experienced from the start of the year in 2015 with the attacks on Charlie Hebdo to the recent attacks in Paris this November. All of that is tragic as it is but sadly this has also had the effect of increasing push by the French government to put legal frameworks in place to not really make things easier or better for citizens but for the secret services in France and that is what the two speakers in this talk will be addressing right now as well as attempts of French NGOs to push against this kind of legislation.  Tazie Den who is the co-founder of a non-profit ISP in France and also the member of a Federation of non-profit ISPs and Adrien Charmet who's the campaign coordinator at La Croix d'Azur du Net. Applause please. Hello everyone so I have to warn you I have to do a little disclaimer this talk will be very depressing so keep calm please keep calm hug your neighbor everything will be okay and let's go. So we wanted to give this talk because as you have seen a lot of things has happened in France all this year Geraldine said it and so we wanted to share this with you and to give you an insight on what's going on. So yeah let's start sorry with 2015 in a match show. Yes 2015 was a very black here in France for freedom and marked by terrorist attacks on security and measure voting permanent atmosphere of terror. It began with the Charlie's attacks in January followed by the intelligence law in March then by an international servants law in September then by November attacks and now the state of emergency and new threats about liberties. Yeah so the thing is not just 2015 it started a whiteback and since 2013 actually there have been several measures and laws put in place and one of the first is a military planning act so it was kind of the first reaction to the post to the Snowden revelations in France and so this this general law on military planning included a measure about giving an administrative access for the police to the ISP networks giving them access to metadata in real time. Yes and this measure was voted to protect fundamental interest of France against economic espionage and terrorism and it was for us the beginning of the of the problem. Then in 2014 we had a new law about terrorism voted in an emergency process because your jeans apartment is a new new way of democracy in France when you talk about terrorism and there were several measures mostly inefficient to prevent people from becoming terrorists and one of them was the vote of a provision to allow police to block websites for apologia and glorification of terrorism very strange formulation and police can directly ask the ISP to block by DNS access to websites and of course it is with no control by judge the list of blocked websites remain secret and you have no information to citizens and to the owners of the websites. Yeah and that's not all for this law also a glorification of terrorism was removed from the the only low framing freedom of speech in France and so it was put into the penal code and the effect of this is that is like is that glorifying terrorism is now judged like an act of terrorism itself like it's ruled by the same judges and so on and also the sanctions if this glorification is made using the internet are increased and after Charlie attacks in January this year many people were judged for glorification of terrorists and a lot of them were drunk people or very young people and it shows the problem to define exactly what is glorification of terrorism so that was for 2014 and then came 2015 and the intelligence law it was a law prepared since two years approximately and the January attacks offered a window open the window for the government to push the law and more easily and during two months between the Charlie attacks in January and the presentation of the law in March it was an intense debate in France about must we have our French Patriot act or not and internet was always presented as responsible for radicalization or and terrorism and encryption was targeted in France and in other countries like United Kingdom for example even even if nothing proved that encryption was used by terrorists and even the news cartoonist the famous cartoonist from Charlie Hebdo was not a fool about all this and he made this wonderful cartoon about the situation and I think it's very it's based by by itself so what were the arguments for the law yes you are the government's arguments and the reality and the first arguments were that the objective of the law is to create a legal framework for intelligent services but in fact France was under the threat to be condemned by the European Court of Human Rights so it was a very complicated for the government and then also one argument of the government was we needed to replace the only law on the matter on surveillance it dated back to 1999 1991 but in fact it was only a question of extending the surveillance to internet and mobile communication which was not previously in the in the law the third arguments was that the government wanted to legalize existing practice and needs of the service which were in a gray zone they call it a legal practices not not black not white but a gray zone but it was just illegal practices and use probably since many years by other services one other argument was that well you see this law is bringing an independent control on the on the surveillance activities and the intelligence activities but in fact there was the real control is still in the power in the hands of the prime minister and the commission but the commission has just a consultative advice yeah and so one of the argument is that I was that you see it's giving the citizen a way to challenge the surveillance now that it's framed and so on but actually yes in fact different secrecy can be opposed at each step of the citizen challenge and the process is not under and duty under judiciary court so you cannot challenge the state so here for the arguments that we heard during the debate but what is the scope of this intelligence law that's something very interesting because obviously its scope for the it was sold in the in the media as something targeting targeting terrorism but actually there are all sorts of categories of people or actions that are concerned by the law like collective violence likely to seriously harm public peace that's something very broad and very vague and so there are also economic and and scientific strategic interest of France and international commitments and basically everything and everyone is concerned and for example a potester against nuclear power can even fit in several of these categories and the law legalize offensive and defensive espionage yeah and we don't have the time to cover all this and there is also immunity for the intelligence services in the law but let's see some of the measures the concrete measures that are included in it so obviously there is targeted surveillance like kilo girls geolocation microphone cameras are included in the law allowed by the law there are also MC catchers and one of the thing that crystallized the debate was black boxes that were to be put into ISP networks hosting providers and access providers so that these black boxes can detect weak signals and I'll go I'll go to me clearly and yes put it into the law in France and into the law that's crazy so obviously we were against the law yeah we were not very happy with this we start the campaign against the surveillance law immediately and coordinate large coalition of opponents and our slogan was everyone can be under surveillance and was detailed on a community website you are here sous surveillance that effort it means under surveillance that effort so yeah the mobilization was really broad and it came up very fast with not just activists but also NGOs lawyers judges journalists trade unions digital economy also and yes and we started with a by a press conference in like what are your office and it was not by the newspaper at the as the beginning of opponents campaign and we were surprised to be at the at the center of the coalition but I think we are used to be faster than all the NGOs because we know how to mobilize to analyze and to campaign and that give us more experience at internet ways to organize yeah so the organization other than the opposition grew all around the debate at first at the very beginning very few member of parliament who are against the law it was really something that was going to pass it was a lost battle but a very large citizen mobilization has been organized through LQ liquid ultra internet tools yes we use for example the Pifon with which is a website to facilitate calls to member of parliament the missing unit is a phone number and we just had five weeks to convince member of parliament that it was a very very rude campaign but at the day of the vote in the national assembly 20% of member of parliament's vote against the law and for us it was it was very it was like a little victory and three weeks later we have the same progress in the Senate with at the beginning nobody nobody against the law and at the end 20% of the senators against the law and during all the campaign we provided legal amendments and explanation to the member of parliament we explain again and again the law to politicians to the media in order to change the public and political view on the law and it worked because despite the bad result we are proud to have forced the government to justify himself every time about freedom and now the law was called the intelligence law at the beginning in media and at the end was called the surveillance law and for us it was very important to change the world yeah so this is not all we decided to also take the legal fight and so we there was a small group of people who decided to write an amicus curiae it's a document that you can provide that you can contribute to a judiciary debate and so 122 pages were written describing what was wrong in the law and comparing with the European commitments of France and the European Court of Justice case law and trust to to sustain the appeal launched by 60 members of the parliament to to before the constitutional council to asking the law to be censored and that's something like this you can read it on our website yeah and so this was written not just by lawyers but also by with a team of lawyers and activists that is very interesting and we put it online so that people can review it and every people can review it and and give us feedbacks and comments and fixes and so it worked very well like very very well we had 500 modifications in 24 hours we were like the first surprise to have so many comments and so this is proof that hackers and lawyers can work together and do a pretty cool stuff and July the constitutional council validated the law except one small part nothing small part all the provision about international surveillance it's not to say that international surveillance is prohibited of course just to for the parliament to vote explicitly the measure and not just vote for a future secret decree to organize international surveillance so the law was reintroduced before the parliament in September it's a it has been a nightmare like liquid nitrogen in it was alone on this yes the most NGOs in France it was too fast only three weeks to campaign so we were alone and the law legalized surveillance and all traffic going in and out of France this is obviously mass surveillance and has been clearly as such it's written in the law no targeted surveillance so it's the mass surveillance was voted and the law state that authorization to spy are given for entire countries for companies or for geographical zone so we without any prior control and the law was has been voted in three weeks without any serious debate presented just at the patch to the intelligence law yeah yeah I would say traffic going out in in and out of France it's nothing like well this is a map of cable cables are going in and out of France so this is pretty scary and so at this very moment we were like okay the battle is lost was the end of October yeah end of October but we were like okay now it's kind of finished we are we are still we have still a word to change yes it's the end of a very hard period and we would continue our positive agenda and campaign for rights and freedom on the internet net neutrality data protection copyright reform some very positive things and then and then and then and immediately after the attacks the attacks took place at a Friday evening at 10 p.m. and at 11 p.m. the French president declared the state of emergency and the day after the prime minister declared that a law will be voted the next week to extend the state of emergency in its perimeter and duration for three months and the law was voted with only six votes against under a very massive pressure of the prime minister and the minister of interior affairs so let's see what is the state of emergency you have to see that it's a suspension of separation of powers it's the something very exceptional and it allows the police to do the search is 24 7 without any judiciary control there are also also rests people can be forced to stay at home 12 hours per day and not quit a specific area and also websites can be yes and I've been in new provisions yes new provision adopted last month so electronic search is allowed into any system accessible during a police search any year which means that if the police come at your place and see that you can access from your computer other computers it can also copy the data of these servers or stuff or devices yes and websites can be blocked directly by an order by decision from the minister of interior affairs and there are a provision about the solution of formal groups or organization without any judgment and forever including after the end of the state of emergency and all of this is not operates with a judge advice it's just with the intelligence services information you have not true to prove something before before block a website or make an house arrest or police search yeah so let us give you some numbers of what happened so until now we have numbers given by the French National Assembly some kind of reporting and so far there as of actually the December the 17th there have been more than 2,700 police searches 368 house arrest and no websites blocked but the Internet was always the main problem yeah Internet was the main problem so and we decided to document the disaster on the on the liquid at your wiki with the help of people on the Internet and every day every article on a newspaper about the state of emergency is crowdsourced on our wiki and for us it's very important to to grow the awareness of people and politicians before voting next year so at this moment when we were documenting the disaster we were realizing that the targets of these searches and also rest were not all the time terrorists but they were like everybody that could cause danger to public peace would be considered dangerous by the police and the minister of interior affairs so there were Muslims on our case climate conference activists and also they have been during the conference the climate conference they have been demonstration prohibited and people are also rested so this was not just about terrorism it was very broad and very far and there is clearly a logic going on throughout all the laws we have been discussing since the beginning of this talk and it's clearly a minority minority reports kind of a way of thinking like they want to prevent the crime before they happen and so they are willing to do whatever they want to avoid justice and to do people the administrative way through the police and so on and with next we are afraid to be targeting in the next day or months for example one the provision about association and organization targets facilitation or encouragement and committing dangerous acts and we ask ourselves providing a tour exit node promote encryption is it to encouraging for facilitating so we don't know and that is a part of the problem when just the police can decide for the the the society who is dangerous or not you don't have the rules you cannot know if you are targeted or not yeah and so this is pretty bad but that's not enough that's not finished there is a constitutional reform that has been announced a few days ago it was an answer to the attacks but the details were published a few days ago and what has been announced is mainly two things the first is that the state of emergency will be written directly into the Constitution it's very important to be not attacked by a judgment later yes that it's kind of protected and also it's starting starting now in France there is a huge debate over the second measure which is deprivation of nationality which would be a major change of policy in France and it's an idea coming from the far right and so this is sparkling a debate right now yes and the debate takes place under the street of new terrorist attacks used by the government to force the parliament into voting the reform and probably the constitutional reform will be vote under the state of emergency and two new bills has been announced for few days ago about again terrorism and organized crime and they will probably be discussed in January or February and we foresee new attacks on encryption privacy citizen rights especially online because politicians don't want to understand what what is privacy online it's more easy for them to not know what what it means so what is at stake clearly what's going on there is a shock doctrine implementing a permanent state of exception in France we are seeing that there is definitely some the the willing to avoid the judiciary powers at any will like to put more powers into the police and intelligent intelligence services and more and more pressure put on the internet like yes it's always presented by the government as a propaganda tool for terrorists and we think that counterterrorism seems to be the new policy of the French government and it's a symbol of the general crisis of democracy in France yeah we think so we have to adapt and to find the counter strategy at first you have to acknowledge that digital freedom is a lie there is just freedom plain and simple you need to refuse the shock doctrine stay alert and protect yourself help people to understand the situation give them tools to to act to protect themselves against surveillance and bad policy and and you have to anticipate the straight and be careful about the discourse of the few governments and for us since the beginning of this year it means in la quadrature and other NGOs systematic public campaign even if we know that we will lose because it's very important to document the facts it requires building our story telling about the events and not just have the government storytelling to prepare and conduct legal action every time and everywhere before the French justice and the European justice it also means and that's something very important that we must document the disaster we we document the disaster like we did with the wiki page and more than anything it means taking part and building coalition with groups and organizations that we are not used to work with because we must enlarge the basis of the opposition yeah well not alone it's not just the digital thing it's we are all concerned so one very last important thing is we spoke about France but it can be in your country very soon I don't hope but you should stay alert as I said even as we speak there are countries like Tunisia that are using what is going on in France to promote the same schemes in the same shock doctrine and so on they are saying hey it's the country of human rights why can't we do the same thing and so well I'm sorry but even the country of human rights can turn into a police state so as a few words of advice to conclude this talk stay safe help others and encrypt all the things thank you very much to the two of you I'm gonna check my we have four minutes left but I know that you're also gonna do an extended Q&A because there's not that much time now do you want to announce that quickly yeah so we are it was very short slots a certain minutes is very short to talk about all the details of what we shown so we thought that it would be good to have a more more time to to elaborate on that if you're interested so please join us in in the all a1 in 30 minutes so we will discuss about going beyond the state with all other people from like what at your and French and Geos yeah sure and if you cannot come join us at the T house have some see and be welcome thank you


Hello guys welcome back to another video It's been a really long time since it uploads this YouTube channel And I thought I would start the idle game series again, so I felt like I did a that's a good job last time and There's not enough tutorials up there and I feel like that I've Improved over the ever since I've uploaded and I thought I'll start fresh So we're gonna go to Unity I Already made a new project, but I'll show you what it looks like if you're new to the Unity so you You'd open it up.  You click new Name whatever you want and for the template choose TD 2d and then just choose whatever location you want So I got a project already. So we're gonna set this up So what's nice about the latest one is that it starts you off the scene You know to save it and then make a new folder To clean it up. We're gonna create a few folders. We're gonna do scripts and I don't think we'll be using images. So we'll just keep seeing some scripts for now and a 2d game requires a Canvas so we're gonna right-click or go to create And we're gonna go to UI and then we're gonna go all the way down to canvas So now we have a canvas that's been created This adjusts the size of your free aspect window in the game So I'm a mobile I'm mobile dev now. So I like to make custom resolutions So right here you click the plus make whatever you want. So for 6s, it's oops. That's vertical You just do 640 by 1136 that is the iPhone 6s default resolution. So that's 6s Portrait and There we go. You have a resolution ready to go But if you want to do windows just do Make a new label 1080p 1920 by 1080 do whatever you want. So now you have a 1080p window, but I'm gonna go with the success So first we don't see anything because there's nothing on the canvas We're gonna create a text which we right click on canvas UI text I'm not really sure how to use text mesh pro, but I would recommend text for your beginner text mesh pro has more options and you can do a lot with it Change it to whatever size you want it to be I'm just gonna put a dead on the center See we'll have our text like right here now that line that we want it in the center For each vertical and horizontal and let's make the text bigger. Let's make it a 50 font So you can see it changes color to whatever you want. I'm gonna change your mind to white and let's see Let's do a currency as coins. So we got zero All right. So now we can see stuff, but we can't really do anything yet So we're gonna right click on canvas. I'm gonna get UI and then button. Let's create a button for us Scroll the zoom in you can put this wherever you want. I'm just put mine right in center and If you have any sprites you want to use or images just you can change it here if you wanted to But I'm just going over fun about polls for this video and Creating the basic concept. So I'm gonna try to keep these tutorials really short simple All right, so we're gonna do click plus one Just one coin We just changed the button text by Opening up the button by clicking here and then the text right here So what we can do now in order to actually do something we can make a new script So I'm gonna do it on the text just to make it easier or what you could do is that you can right click on canvas and create empty Just do my game manager here This isn't making a million scripts you can all do you can just do it all in one We're gonna just can call this idle tutorial Game and a script and it's a C sharp. All right double-click to open it. I Have a visual studio installed so it'll automatically open that for me once it does All right, so we have our new script. We start with our our packages System collection system collection generic you really won't need these so we just need you to the engine and in order to access our text right here we have to Copy paste that and do dot UI because that basically gives us all the methods and objects and classes which is something like Oops public text for example, which we'll need so we're gonna do it make it create tech. We're gonna create text or click Name whatever you want. I'll call mine coins text where that will be this text right here So I'll just call this coins text to make it easier for you guys to see So I'm gonna delete these two methods because we only need a few at the moment and in order to Actually have numbers we have to create We have to create a variable. I'm gonna do double because they have a limit of one to the 308th power Which is a big so if you really want to make a big game that's highly recommended, but you can import other stuff Such as like something called break infinity or you can go really really really big like 27 but that's not for today So what I see is that a lot of tutorials actually do floats No, don't do floats because that's one to the third like once the 38th And that was my big mistake when I became and I know that besides I started using floats instead of doubles or beyond So we're just gonna use a double. It's just good practice. Anyways floats are not as good. They're really good for Like progress bars and stuff like that or timers So we'll just save those coins. Alright, so now we have a text and we have a number named coins, but it doesn't do anything yet So we want to create a method called public void of start So what this does is that unity automatically runs the start method right as you load the project Well, there's a few that start before that but it's the main one that you want to use to initialize stuff So we're gonna start with points equal zero. That's if you want coins to start off with a hundred Okay, you can start with a hundred. This is the good place to start and That's all we need to do there for now Next we need something to update every frame That's public void updates. This updates every frame Since I'm on a 144 Hertz monitor it will run this 144 times a second. So Let's see. We want our coins to display something. So we're gonna copy paste our coins text Or we're gonna put the dot text attribute to it Just so we know that we're saying, okay, we want to edit the text right here This is labeled text. If we wanted to change the font, we would do dot font, but we don't need to do that So we got a lot of stuff you can do in the code. So we want the text to say this right here. So we're gonna do coins Colon Space we need a space because if we don't then there would be no space between it So every character matters and we'll add a plus and then we'll do our coins, which is the number So now when we run it'll it'll say this exact same thing right here right now Unless this coin value changed to one. So let's say we want this 123 and we save it So game manager so before we can do anything in order to actually display text We have to drag the coins text into the script Right here into the editor Or the inspector and now it should work. So we should see coins 123. There you go. One coins 123 That's this right here. So if we change this to zero, let's say coins zero So we need the click button to actually do something to make this number go up Because that's the point of this game, right? So we're gonna make our own custom method that we will call using the button We'll call it You can do clicker clicked or just click just whatever you want you can really call it Joe if you want to just got to remember it, but I highly recommend you not do that. So public void click work So on click when we click this button, we want this number to increase by one. How do we do that? Do coins plus plus one or plus plus semicolon? Why so but this is not a good method This is good if you buy it at a single upgrade that goes up by one permanently like only one time or if you Let's say we set we start the game and you want to count how many times you've started This would be a good use for that But we don't want to do that. So we want to do plus equals one Because we can actually change how much this adds by we can change it to ten if we wanted to but for now We're gonna do plus equals one so we're gonna save that and a lot of you are pride beginners Coding but basically this is the class. This is your packages right here for the first two lines These are your variables your data and these are your methods so we have different ones we have Constructors which are made in several classes which basically Give this is basically constructor right here your start because you're basically start you're basically building the whole class starting with coins equals zero and Then we have the updates which we have the mutator which basically changes what's going on in the code and Then we have the another mutator which click which we're changing the value the value of coins. All right It probably made no sense, but If you've heard those terms before that's just a quick refresher So in order to actually make this button do something you want to click on the button Let's go all the way down to the button script and then on the click function right here We want to put the plus and then we can drag the game manager Which is where our script is located into the object right here and then for the no function We click that we clicked our script name idle tutorial game and then we click the click function There you go idle tutorial dot click that is this right here because it's part of the idle tutorial game class So now once we click it should work. We should see this the number go up. I want There you go. It goes up. I want because every time you click this button It calls the on click function which calls the click our public void click method And it refers to our class So this is a really short and simple video, but basically this is the Basics of how to like start your project what what certain methods do and stuff like that If you think you can go on from here good luck to you if you want to continue to serious I will be posting more videos as soon as possible Thanks for watching if you have any questions comment below. This is a very short tutorial just to Just to warm you guys up. I guess Anyways, have a good rest of your day. Peace

Well, hi everyone, I'm Deb Goodkin and I'm with the FreeBSD Foundation and coming from Boulder, Colorado where we're headquartered and thank you for attending my talk. I do want to send a big thank you out to the Linux Foundation for accepting my talk and including our voice in this conference. One thing, just a little logistics really quick. If you have any questions at the end, I'm going to try to allow for some time at the end, but this talk, I am cutting it down from an hour talk originally and so what I was hoping was to leave more time on the Slack channel, which you can connect to. It's called track wildcard channel and and please feel free to submit any questions there. You can also send me questions over Twitter as well as email me. I don't have my email here, but Deb at freebsdfoundation.org. So let's get started. First, who am I? I do have a technical background, but it's not with operating systems. So I'm letting you know that just because this talk is really an overview of FreeBSD, what it is and how the project works and and so I so it's not really intended for going into much technical detail of FreeBSD. I've been with the FreeBSD Foundation since 2005, so it's been almost 15 years and I refer to myself as a curiosity. I know it's not really a real word, but I'm an avid learner and I do spend a lot of time trying to learn about FreeBSD and operating systems in general just to help me in my job, but also to help advocate for the project. So my goal here is to tell you what FreeBSD is, really just give you an overview, tell you how the project works and why you should contribute or use FreeBSD. So what is FreeBSD? So first I have to start off with FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution. And I'm telling you this because even though it's 2020 and FreeBSD has been around for a long time, people still think or you know, the FreeBSD is a Linux distribution or they include it in a survey like I'm showing you right here that this came out from opensource.com, which is owned and run by Red Hat and they were doing the survey near the end of last year and they wanted to find out what your favorite Linux distro was and they included FreeBSD and so it makes it really confusing and so we're always having to tell people that FreeBSD is in a Linux distro and just to get back to this survey really quick. I mean they had really good intentions and I know that they included it because they know FreeBSD is a popular operating system and so they just wanted to include it here, but so I was just pointing that out. So FreeBSD is comprised of like three different components and so on the top right you have the operating system. So that's what you're actually running on your computer. In the center we have the best part of our community and so the project is made up of thousands of contributors and volunteers who contribute to that operating system and then on the bottom right is it's who I represent, the FreeBSD Foundation and we're a separate organization, but we are a non-profit and I'll talk about this in a little bit. So FreeBSD is one of the oldest largest and most successful open source projects in the world. It's a complete operating system. So what does that mean? When you compare it to Linux, Linux is the kernel. So this is why you have distros out there because then you're integrating the kernel with the other components that make up an operating system and FreeBSD is the whole operating system. So it includes the kernel, the user land, documentation, tools, utilities, anything that you need to make up an operating system. There's over 33,000 software packages that you can use. So that allows you to customize your operating system to what you want. So you get to have like a GUI or access the internet. It's created by thousands of contributors from all around the world. FreeBSD runs on many different platforms. So all the, you know, most of the popular CPUs out there it runs on as well as cloud platforms too. And there are tons of millions of deployments out there. So this is my really high-level abridged version of where FreeBSD descended from. So you have, you know, because I came out of Bell Labs at AT&T back in 1969, and then Berkeley started working on it and doing a lot of research and innovation on it. And then in early 93 it branched out into a FreeBSD and NetBSD. Then I have this timeline here that this is also a very shortened version of a timeline that we have on on our website. And on the bottom left you can see the URL that will take you to the timeline. And I'd really encourage you to go look at that because this is really, you know, interesting information about the history of FreeBSD as well as the history of UNX. And so you can see on the top right that UNX was developed in 69 and then in 74 Berkeley started modifying and approving it. And then in 92 is when the first unencumbered full operating system was available. And that was called 386BSD. And then in 93 FreeBSD split off and it was formed. And actually on June 19, 1993, that was when the name was FreeBSD was chosen. And then in between that time, between 93, 92 and in 94, there was a lawsuit and it was brought on by AT&T. And so because of that, it just took up the developer's time that he had to deal with that from Berkeley. And so during that period, there was a lot of adoption or development. And so it's slowed down the progress for a little bit of time. But since then really, there have been 27 years of innovation and growth. And so I don't know how hard this is to see on your screen. Maybe you can zoom in on that. And the reason why I showed this large flowchart of UNX is because to show you how like on the right here in the pink blocks, you have all these corporations who used FreeBSD. In fact, when I was at IBM, we had our own version of UNX and HP and Sun and all these different companies back then were using some of their own variations of FreeBSD. I'm sorry, of UNX. And then as you move over to the left and I zoom in on this here, you see FreeBSD as well as Linux. And the purpose of this chart is to show you really the long history of FreeBSD and how it did descend from the original UNX up at top on the top or Linux was created to it was a replacement for like a free version of MINIX back in the early 90s. So who uses FreeBSD? These aren't the only companies that use FreeBSD. But I chose these names because they're marquee companies are recognizable names that I'm sure most of you are familiar with. And so it shows that there are a lot of large corporations out there that do use FreeBSD. And most likely you use FreeBSD. So if you have an iPhone or an Apple computer, the Mac OS was based originally on FreeBSD. And then most of those components were replaced by FreeBSD. And Netflix, if you're watching a movie, all that streaming is being streamed from FreeBSD servers from around the world. If you're playing with a Sony PlayStation, that is also FreeBSD based. So why should you use FreeBSD? I mean, when I think about it or when people ask me about it, community is is my first thought and answer. And the reason why is because it really is a welcoming and friendly and inclusive community. Is it perfect? No. But the thing that I like about the community is not only do they come back with constructive criticism, if they're like reviewing your changes or code, but they do work on approving.  But usually it's resolved in a positive way. It's also known for excellent documentation. And so as I learned and I play around with FreeBSD, not only do we have great documentation that comes with the operating system, you can search for help and you will almost always find your answer. We have modern and good tooling and really a consistent development and release process that really has been built on from the original FreeBSD and just only improved on over the years. And like I said before, we support a lot of architectures. And the other thing that stands out really is license, is that it is a permissive license. And so it's what that means is that you can make your changes, you can implement something that is your own IP, your own secret sauce, and you do not have to give that back. Though we do find that most companies do give back most of their code, which is awesome. So how does the project work? I just don't mind me every so often. I'm looking at the time since I want to make sure that we cover all the points I really want to cover here. But anyway, so the FreeBSD foundation is a whole different organization than the project. And so we do not control or run the project. We have a core team, which is really the leadership of FreeBSD. Sometimes I think of them as upper managers, they're the governance team. And they are elected. And in fact, we just had elections. And so we have a whole new core team. And it's starting, I believe, this week. And so there's a whole transition going on. We have a great mentorship model that we follow. And so when you are new, and you're showing interest, and you're contributing to the project, someone will reach out to you and offer to be a mentor. And that's how you get your commitment. And you can actually commit your changes to the source tree. We have different functional teams that make up how things are done. They have some of the different responsibilities of the project. And I'll cover that in a sec. And then it's a very collaborative environment. So this is how I view the organization. It's not a real org chart. If it was, all the red boxes on the bottom would go even further over, including all the different teams that I listed on the bottom of the slide. And it just would have been too messy. So it doesn't mean if you have a red box that you're more important. But what I'm showing here is how on the top level, you have the foundation, and then you have the project. So two separate organizations. And then you have that core team that I just talked about. And so they help provide guidance and leadership to the project. And then you have these functional teams, which have all these different responsibilities to support free BSD. And the nice thing about having these functional teams is it allows people who are interested in contributing to the project to participate in one with either they have the skills and experience to contribute, or maybe they want to gain those skills and experience. And so they could participate in one of these functional teams. But also it's not required. So it's just something that's available to help. And this lists what the responsibilities are of the core team. And so you don't have one person who has the final say or who's actually in charge of the project. And just so you know, you can access all these slides because I'm not going to be able to cover all of them during this talk. And so you can spend a lot more time looking into some of these areas. I am highlighting the age distribution of the contributors or the committers, just to show you that we do have quite a few young people who are continuing to join the project and to contribute, as well as on the older side, too. And what's great about this is that having these people that well, so the older people actually most of them have been on the project since the beginning, which I think is awesome, because they're still involved, they're still contributing, and they're available and they want to help. And so they're there to help bring up these newer people and teach them, and they're very approachable. And then you have a lot of people in the middle. And so it really shows the sustainability of the project, as well as the growth, and keeping the knowledge, too, within the project. We're sharing that knowledge. The release, I'll just go over this really quickly. We have two different branches, one's the current, this is at the bottom, current and stable. Currents, any of your changes that you make, and then stable is the stable branch, or anything that has been changed, as long as it's been tested and improved, then it can move into the stable branch. One thing about FreeBSD is we really follow that principle of least astonishment. So what it means is don't make changes just to make changes. So don't break things that already work, but it doesn't mean don't make changes. We're still very innovative, but people think through their changes more. They might present with their thoughts and ideas to different people in the community and get their input. And so there's more thought into things before changes are actually made. And then we have the two different types of releases. We have the major release right now. We're looking at coming out with 13.0, mid-year next year, and then 12.2, which is coming up shortly. And so it's just sort of a minor versus major releases. And how you contribute to the project, I'll just go through this really quickly. It's basically you can contribute writing code, writing documentation, maintaining ports, and advocacy, many different ways that you can step in really quickly to contribute. And I always suggest even if people have a computer science background and they want to get started, doing documentation is the best way to get started because you have to understand technically how things work. And it's a great way to learn how things work. Here's a list of how or why companies use FreeBSD. And I'd say the main reasons really are the BSD license and the CFS support. And where FreeBSD is used and where it stands out. I'll let you read through this list. And when you look at the kernel features, this is the basic functionality that an operating system needs nowadays. And so we have that in our operating system. And the same holds with user line. But one thing I would say is that when you look at the kernel and the user line tools is that because it's one operating system, you have everything together, it's very coherent. And you have one team that is working on this together. And so the whole effort of putting this operating system together is it's definitely a collaborative effort. But you have like when you do testing, the testing is done by the same group of people across the whole operating system. So you don't have different pieces that are coming from different areas and trying to mesh it together. It's a very coherent system. Other features of FreeBSD from the CFS were actually the foundations actually funding a few CFS projects currently, the Ctrace for real time debugging and performance analysis. Jails, we developed the first containers back in early 2000. And jails are used a lot for containerization. Beehive, we have our hypervisor, the network stack, or the TCP IP was developed originally in FreeBSD and improved on FreeBSD and it's still being used. And it's used in a lot of different operating systems out there right now. And then Capsicum, which is out of University of Cambridge are doing a lot of work with this and security right now. The foundation, it's we're here in Boulder, Colorado, we're a nonprofit. One thing I want to point out we are classified as a 501c3 and which means that we're a public charity and we're for the public. It's our whole purpose is to support the FreeBSD project and comparing to other types of foundations which usually are 501c6, which what that means is that they're still a nonprofit, but they're a trade association. And so that means they're focused on commercial users and companies out there. And so a good example of that would be the Linux Foundation. And so that's how we differ. We're 100% funded by donations and really our purpose is to step in and help guide the project as well as to fill out critical needs.  And so really it's I'm not trying to say we should code together because it's you know different operating systems, but I think that it really helps if you're working on operating system to understand others. And because you learn you learn pros and cons and so if you we all have successes and failures and so you learn from each and and so and and so it just it only makes you better at what you do. We have different coding philosophies and methodologies and so it's great to understand both and why you might like one over the other. And whether our smaller code base I mean we have like in our kernel we have I haven't checked recently but maybe five million lines of code versus Linux is at about 26 million lines of code and this is just the kernel because we're a smaller code base it allows you to have it's a great reference for actually learning about operating systems. And then I include this quote at the bottom I had read from this one guy and I think that this is true it just makes you better at what you know what you're doing with the operating system. So why should you contribute to FreeBSD? I mean really to be the community. So if you are looking for a new project to contribute to FreeBSD is great because first our strong mentoring culture as well as just the community being inclusive and welcoming. It's like I was pointing out before the operating system is a great way to learn systems programming and just the study operating systems. And because we're a smaller project the size of it allows you to make notable contributions and so you can start contributing in an area and be recognized for that. And when I was talking about sort of on that age graph that I showed earlier a lot of those people are notable FreeBSD and FreeBSD founders and they're very approachable and they actually and they do want to help. So why use FreeBSD on your desktop? So one thing I'll point out I mean so I've listed these are all the reasons that I see and I hear from people that use it on their desktop. And one thing that I do want to point out is that one thing that we the foundation has taken up is you know we recognize this a lot of times it's difficult to get FreeBSD working on your system it may be really old or it may be very new hardware and so we're working on making sure that FreeBSD does work on you know a lot of the hardware especially the newer hardware out there. If I did list these distributions I call them distributions they're not really distributions out there from free they're based on FreeBSD that if you want to try one I might try ghost or midnight they're all great Fury is a newer one so I'm just not familiar with it and so anyway I would suggest trying that I know I'm running out of time so I'm going to try to finish up here but what I would suggest is just jump in and get your hands dirty and the easiest way is to rent it on a on a cloud on a virtual machine you know so you're not installing an bare metal at first but you can do that too I actually have a system here so this is my list of resources I will I'm going to actually make this available later but you also have access to the slides so you can see that and but I would really suggest just reading the FreeBSD handbook if you're interested and looking more into FreeBSD and I do see that I'm almost out of time and I do have some questions here so because I'm not going to have okay I'm not sure if I'm still alive or not but anyway since I won't have time to answer them here please go to the channel that slack channel that I mentioned the wild card one and and I will be happy to answer them there and I'll try to actually tweet them too so more people have access to that so I want to thank you for attending this talk and I look forward to seeing what you're going to do with FreeBSD in the future so thank you
