Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen in the room and especially online To this press conference at the 48th annual meeting at the World Economic Forum I'm joined today by Senator Corker, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Gary Hugen CEO of International Justice Mission Monique Villa CEO of Thompson Reuters Foundation and And Last but not least John Sedinsky vice chairman of investors relation and business development at Blackstone So to get us started senator Corker You've been a champion of this global fund for a long time Could you share with us the history of its creation and the vision you had for it? Sure, I'm glad to be here with these other panelists who've done such an outstanding job in this arena But there are 40 million people estimated today that live in slavery Around the world most of them are in about 15 countries And we became aware of it actually through Gary who's done so much work in that regard Someone on our staff heard him speak our chief of staff who's actually here We had him in our office. We began You know reading materials we visited a project they had in the Philippines to see the kind of work that they had under way became aware of the magnitude of this and Just felt like there was a need to have a Global fund to deal with this much like the world community did with with HIV Through PEPFAR So we began writing legislation. It took some time to make it happen We want to have something that many many countries and philanthropists are involved in we've set something up Towards that end and the United States has made a contribution the United Kingdom has made a contribution other countries will follow Thank You Gary You've your path this you're passionate about this topic, but usually this topic is seen as something in the history books Why do we need this global fund more than ever? Well, I'm grateful for senator Corker's leadership and the leadership of the Prime Minister Theresa May and the other panelists in addressing this issue because I think most people would not get the History question correct About whether or not there is more people in slavery now than in any other time in history But that is the fact there's more people in slavery today than were extracted from Africa Over 400 years of the transatlantic slave trade. So the thing we just need to know is that the modern slavery Problem is still is massive. It's as brutal as it's ever been But it's more stoppable than it's ever been It's illegal everywhere now in the world. It is Everywhere in the world, but it's also concentrated itself in a few countries And so this ought to focus our global efforts and this is what has been missing over the last 20 well really 10 years There's been a proliferation of tremendous efforts and raising awareness to trying to address Modern-day slavery and human trafficking, but they've been completely uncoordinated efforts and the establishment of a central fund Which will not only have the capacity to address the problem on a global scale that actually will be commensurate with the scale of the Problem, but it will actually do it with discipline around a coordinated strategy And an accountability as to whether or not all those various efforts are actually being effective in Measurably reducing slavery. So this is a game-changing effort in that regard It really is modeled after the tremendous success of the global fund for HIV AIDS And I think a similar historic Transformation can take place in the world So Gary spoke about strategy Monique your foundation has had a lot of initiatives. Why do you think we need a cohesive strategy? Well, I mean the foundation regarding slavery because we we address other you know under reported and very important issues like women's rights and and and Human impact of climate change, but slavery is since 2012 one of the core thing at the foundation and we have started to shed light on the issue through journalism So everything that our 48 staff journalists at the foundation right is distributed on the Reuters wise so it has a global audience and We have started to to really shed light on the issues of journalism and journalism of slavery Slavery is today outlawed in every country in the world and then as Gary has said It's still growing and we have more slaves than ever. So universally it is a board and Globally, it is growing. So there is something that we don't do right and So we shed light on the issue in order that people take interest and then we also take action. So we started by Creating a bankers alliance in the US with Cyrus Vance to look at the credit card data to ask the banks To look at the credit card data of their clients and see when there is a pattern of human trafficking So with the best NGOs in the US we designed the red flags that they incorporated in their Software in order to see when the red flags flash and they can share with law enforcement And Cyrus said that it it conducted to a lot more Suspicious reports from the banks. We did the same bankers alliance in Europe and we are now doing it in Asia And the Wolfberg grant the group of banks, which are the 15 biggest banks in the world When we launched the European one last May Said to all banks in the world to adopt the tool kids that we were putting outside In order to fight slavery through data because you when you can prove that someone is a slaver Through data, you are much stronger than when you only prove it on the strengths of the person that has been abused So that's one the second one has been to really interest Corporation to the issue because you have 40 million slaves today according to ILO probably a lot more But data is not right and we have a big hole there And we try to to to address also that issue But on the 14 million slaves you have 30% in sex trafficking and 70% in In forced labor so forced labor it is children 25% of the slaves in the world are children children or adults who work at no pay and are treated as a commodity by corporations and Unfortunately because the waste has outsourced a lot of their production in 40 years ago Without paying enough attention to their supply chain and what happens down down down the supply chain This has a load forced labor to flourish so now Corporation because the laws were voted in California in the UK now in France soon in Australia, etc Have to pay attention to the issue of the supply chain and so companies can be a force for good if they really start To pay attention to this issue and some have really started so we created two years ago the stop slavery award Which is an Anish Kapoor Statue that we give to corporations which are best in class to try to clean the supply chain from forced labor and The first year you had Candidates like Apple like test score like, you know, they have to self-nominate themselves and answer a very long questionnaire You let Packard wanted an XP semiconductors But this year it was consumers brands will want it and it was Adidas overall winner Intel CNA retailer a Corp in the UK, etc So more and more consumer brands are really paying attention to the issue and do the right things which is really important and Finally, we're going to we have just launched with Humanity United, which is an NGO which works a lot on slavery the ranking of the 300 Biggest company in the world on what they do for forced labor in order of that many Don't feel they have to do something because they are in another country where a law doesn't exist on that maybe should pay attention and last last thing I want to say is that a Journalism is not dead investigative journalism is not dead most of the candidates who were candidates for the stop slavery world where We're starting to really pay attention to what happens in the supply chain from the moment where media Showed that they have that problem either in their production line like line like Apple at some point or Or in their own supply chain and then they paid attention and immediately started to fight back on forced labor So it's it's very interesting that Media attention can also lead to good things so John Monique talked about the power that business have that they can be a source of good as The voice of business on this panel. Can you let us know how or even why business get involved in this global fund? Thank you. There there's probably Three or four different legs on this table in terms of answering this First of all, we have the international investor community And increasingly particularly sovereign wealth funds And particularly the larger ones not only in the United States For example, the state of California, but also in the Nordic region are very focused on ethical investing So they are very much looking at a broad set of ethical issues and now with this Announcement and with other announcements We're basically shining a bright light on this whole issue of modern slavery as it relates to supply chain transparency So it will become an investor issue secondly Remember the fish rots from the head and what that means is Corporations have to demonstrate leadership at the chairman and CEO level and at the board level With respect to this important ethical issue It's a moral issue and we're we're living in an age of increasingly moral disorder And this is the most visible example of where companies Around the world in their supply chain are employing people Seemingly employing them. They're not paying them Incarcerating them. I can give you lots of examples where on the ground we have filmed slaves in a mine Sent that film to a chairman or chief executive They denied that was their employees and I subsequently had to prove to them with the video That that was their Mine where they were employing People and not paying them So there is a need in this environment to have corporations in terms of Bring the discussion into the boardroom bring the discussion on the front page of the annual report Bring the discussion to a point where companies Develop best practices on how to deal with this issue in their supply chain The UK has been leadership. It's in this area with the modern slavery act And there's no question that companies around the world Will be able to share best practices With the global fund as to what they're doing to remove Modern slavery from their supply chain. This will take a long time This is not something that's going to be solved in one or two years But we need to get Going and lastly I would say Given we're in the age of social media Investors have power boards now need to take responsibility among their stakeholders, but ultimately the consumer Particularly has power in this age of social media to be much more assertive with their companies As to how they feel about brands that are not taking this issue seriously So I applaud the global fund and I know the global fund will become an important partner and Companies will become partners of the global fund both financially and in terms of sharing best practices as well as How they plan to eliminate Modern slavery from their own supply chain over the next decade Thank you before I open the floor for any questions I'd like to provide you all an opportunity to add to any of the comments made by your fellow panelists. I Would just add to to the comments that were made to to look at this And to try to deal with it in a manner that you measure the results I think is very important so much We see so many efforts where that is not the case I know as a chairman of the form relations committee for instance As it related to dealing with HIV around the world We had to really focus on making sure that we looked at cases and the amount of treatments that were taking place And we didn't lose sight of what our goal was and so the same is true here And so one of the things for those people who might be investing in these kind of things Whether it's the United Kingdom or the United States Which by the way, there is a 501c3 set up much like the national endowment for democracy That will have board members from all around the world that will be leading this effort But to make sure that that investment is yielding results is very very important And so as Gary mentioned there's metrics Going in and figuring out how much slavery is actually occurring in a place before you began and then Showing that you're actually deriving results. So this will be an effort again. It's a true public-private partnership Led currently by two countries other countries will follow will have private sector involvement And we really want to leverage our funds and build momentum around again achieving results So I'm indebted to the people here involved that have been and let me mention one other thing They're there you come here to the world economic forum and you realize there are Efforts that are taking place that are not coordinated People are not necessarily taking advantage of the best practices that another organization may have in place I mean just sitting here listening to the panelists you can see that they're involved in differing ways But to be able to have an entity that's using those best practices and helping others do the same I think it will be very very important in achieving the goal. We've all set out to accomplish Just following on what senator Corker has shared This is the game-changing development over just the last five or six years as we've now developed tools by which you can actually draw prevalence levels of forced labor and slavery sex trafficking within a jurisdiction Imagine as the senator mentioned to try to fight HIV AIDS if you didn't know how much there was and whether or not various Interventions were actually reducing the the prevalence level. This is now possible So it's no longer an excuse to say well this we just don't know what works and what does not there are means by which we can actually Test and measure what's working? And so now it will be about Investing in those methodologies that are proven to be effective the second game changer here is that the The commercial sector has a huge influence on addressing the utter impunity that exists in many of the emerging market countries in terms of forced labor Where the laws are there, but just simply not enforced and now corporate sector can step up and say we love helping Grow the economy here, but we're facing tremendous Reputational exposure from the possibility of forced labor in our supply chain and to go to those governments and to say it would be Indispensable to us if you the local government would actually enforce your laws against slavery So we're not swimming in this ocean of impunity when Corporations start to begin to raise their voice in that way. We are finding that these are the voices that the Local authorities especially in emerging market countries care about the most and so this is also going to be a a game changing Role that the private sector is going to have in this fight Yeah, if I just can add to all that is that the real impact Comes really from the cross-sector collaboration, you know when when companies started to to fight slavery in the cocoa industry in In ivory coast they joined forces together to to address the issue when now we Corporations tried to address the issue of slavery in the fishing industry in Thailand or in the Philippine And they work together To to to address the issue because alone a corporation cannot do a lot so when you have this this Cross-sector collaboration and shared expertise that as you say with business with government and with civil society Working together then you have really a force and this is what we we start to see coming And this is what we we I think we all around this table and I know Jean Bader Schneider at the global fund Really try to push this collaboration without which nothing will happen And all the laws that are voted are very good They don't have a lot of teeth at this stage because it's just a question of declaring what you do To address the issue of forced labor but one day they may have teeth and then you know Corporation will really have to address the issue. So collaboration for much bigger impact is crucial. I Think the other thing it's worth saying because this is not a simple problem There are really three big legs on a very big table, which is the whole issue of prevention Which is a very big discussion the issue of rescuing and then thirdly the issue of rehabilitating Survivors and all three of these are in itself Three separate very deep and broad areas, which you have to remember There are lots of examples around the world where from a poverty point of view if you can deal with job creation Locally and deal with poverty locally the likelihood of that you're going to have a high focus of preventing Trafficking is is very likely The issue of rescuing and more over the issue of rehabilitation of survivors is Very important and there's a lot more work to be done on this Thank you. I'm now going to open the floor for one or two questions if we have any Please state your name and your organization We've a moment for the newspaper to stun out in Brussels in Belgium How much money is being invested in the fund by whom and how will it be spent? The goal is to raise 1.5 billion and Thus far the United Kingdom has put 25 million in the United States has put 25 million in we'd like to to leverage an overall investment by the United States over a seven-year period of 250 million with 500 million coming from from other countries and then have that matched with 750 excuse me It's a 1.25 million dollar 1.5 million Billion dollar investment. We'd like to have the the 250 matched with 500 coming from other countries and 750 million coming from the private sector and so This in the areas that the fund works in the areas that the fund allocates money What we'd like to see happen is a 50% reduction in slavery in those areas to prove that what we're doing is Effective and shows results and then grow the fund from there that it's a problem of of jurisdictions of laws not being Properly Excluded so how are you going to do that? Yeah, so I'll let Gary speak more fully to this But going in and working with law local law enforcement working with prosecutors Changing the culture of the police department themselves making sure that That on the back end after victims have been rescued There's there's a there's a safety net to allow them to come back into society in a real way But it takes resources to do that. It takes teams of people Going into these countries again in every country in the world slavery is against the law But going in and causing we saw for instance I won't mention which jurisdiction but we saw were just a a few policemen at the top of a particular department Changing the way they went about dealing with this changed the entire department because before that You can imagine the corruption the graph that was taking place to allow to cause people to turn their heads away from this blight on society a Few years a few years ago the Gates Foundation invested five million dollars in a project to try to reduce Child sex trafficking in the city of Cebu in the Philippines and the goal was to have that reduced by 20% Over that five-year period of time I jam partnered with them in standing up local law enforcement to address this and when the outside Auditors came back to measure the effectiveness of that they found a 79% reduction in child sex trafficking that was then replicated in the city of Manila and in the city of Pampanga in the Philippines And they produced 76 and 86 percent reductions in child sex trafficking so it shows it's actually possible to invest in Building local capacity to bring great effective law enforcement and great survivor services And you can now measure the way slavery collapses when there's the risk of actually going to jail for it And when survivors believe they actually have a future This is the vaccine that actually exists in the world now for getting rid of slavery But like all other sort of global efforts It's going to take resources commensurate to the problem as the senator pointed out. It's a hundred and fifty billion dollar profit annually according to the ILO and it seems rather modest for the world to pony up 1.5 billion to take on that fight If I may have one of the big big difficulty in the fight against trafficking is the lack of Prosecution is the total impunity that slavers and joy all around the world so we fight a very organized crime in a Pretty disorganized manner. So the global fund and whatever Means can be given to justice around the world, etc. Will be important, but we have to realize that You know slavery exist only because of corruption Corruption is degrees of slavery everywhere at every level from the policeman or the police woman That you that you pay to to judges which are not doing their job, etc Corruption is the big issue behind this very organized crime. So it will not be that simple But it's true that to have means instead of not having no means in the fight will change things obviously So we have one more question. Yes. I'm actually from the World Economic Forum. Gary Schmidt. Sorry Mr. Sotinski, you mentioned social media as a way for consumers to to pressure private sector players to To hold up the standards. I like to hear from you But also from the other panelists what role technology can play in this in this fight against slavery. Thank you Thank you. That's a very good question. I had lunch today with a very prominent fashion designer and This is someone who's an activist and this is someone who's very interested in the subject and This person said to me categorically. There's no question that People buying their brands will ask the question very soon Is there slavery in this garment? It's not a question of whether it's made in China or the United States or in the UK Or whether it's made out of cotton linen silk or rayon. The issue is has a modern slave Made this garment and one of the things I often say And I've often Introduced the term ethical profit, which is we should be interested in profit. That's been entirely ethically Arrived at rather than the maximized profit and the ethical profit is a profit Which is someone can look their consumer straight in the face and say we understand our supply chain and there are no slaves that manufactured this t-shirt and consumers can Text they can put things on Twitter and they can when they when they come across a brand that they think has dubious origins I often think something that is very inexpensive has to be challenged. I don't want to make any generalizations That's unfair, but something that's very inexpensive. You have to challenge the origins of it where it's made how it's made and the supply chain and and if a company actually says to you well, we don't entirely know all Aspects of our applied chain. That's not sufficient companies have got to take full Responsibility for every aspect of their supply chain Otherwise the consumer has a right to raise a lot of questions On that issue because this is something that we want to address with the stop slavery award because indeed you receive an award Because you have done the right things to try to to eradicate false labor from your supply chain But you will notice that the big consumers brand that received this award this year Have not made big campaign on that and the thing is that the mentality are not yet ready And it's a very interesting discussion where consumers should have a role to play and I hope they will play it it doesn't seem that Companies are ready to to Advertise on the fact that they have clean supply chain because they think that you know, maybe the consumer Doesn't want to feel guilty when you buy something So I mean this notion of the consumer feeling guilty it's quite interesting to think of and Quite interesting to push because I think that consumer would feel guilty if they knew that there were slaves in the supply chain But would certainly feel much better if they knew that in this brand there is no slaves And it's clean so it's an interesting discussion that will be the one in the in the next months and years and Social media and technology can play a role one of the things that's quite amusing is a number of chief executives in the last 12 months a Lot to do with as a result of the work that gene is done Monique is done and other sort of activists in this area a lot of chief executives I said well, we actually believe we don't have any slavery in our supply chain and of course as you know today That is a red flag to the media and the media will go out of their way to try to prove them wrong and I would say now every chief executive who's said this is not an issue for us has regretted it Some of them have been publicly embarrassed because they have had to pull in their tail and say whoops We actually Went a little too far in the statement. So What we're now seeing certainly in the UK under the modern slavery act is everyone is very cautious Wants to do their homework wants to understand all aspects of their supply chain Before they go too far and I think most people know they have slavery somewhere in their supply chain it's a question of how to deal with it proactively and being very candid about how transparent they can be and Focus on it's almost like asking a company to reinstate their Their values and their their set of ethics in terms of how they actually do their business how they do their core business So on that statement, I would like to thank my panelists for taking the time to explain this important issue and Discussing the ways that it can be resolved and that there is an optimistic option for that and that we should be Galvanized to join that cause and I would like to thank everyone in the room and online. Thank you


Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food. Our channel is all about the food. We do taste test recipes, grocery hauls, and what's for dinner. And I am here today with a taste test. So a week or so ago, I went to Kroger and I did a grocery haul. And I hauled this Betty Crocker Brittle Mix, Peanut Brittle Mix. And if you've been watching our channel for a while, you know that I'm wild about peanut brittle. I've tried to make it myself, but it didn't turn out. And I saw this mix and I had to pick it up and try it. So the interesting thing about this brittle mix is that there's no mixing needed, meaning you don't add anything at all to this mix. It's a dry mix. That's what it sounds like. Let me turn it over, show you the instructions. So I have already preheated my oven to 350 and I've greased my pan. And then all you do is sprinkle this mix onto the pan and then you bake it. There you see right there, you bake it. And then you let it cool and then you break it up and it's supposedly supposed to be like peanut brittle. I certainly hope this works. And it actually says don't eat the raw peanut peanut brittle mix. Let me show you the ingredients. Here they are. Peanut sugar, dextrose, which is another sugar, palm oil, cream, dried honey, soy, lecithin, salt, cornstarch, wheat starch, artificial flavor, and soy flour. So I am going to sprinkle this on the pan and I'll show you guys what it looks like when I have it sprinkled on the pan and I'll bake it. And then the other candy recipe that I'm going to try today is this praline mix. I've had this in my pantry for a while and I love pralines. I've never made them myself and this is of course is a box mix. And what you need for this is a third of a cup of evaporated milk, four tablespoons of butter. I'm using unsalted and one cup of chopped pecans or pecan has. And it says you can do it in the microwave but I'm going to do it on the stove top. Let me show you what's in here. Or actually I'll show you the directions first. So here are the directions. You're supposed to cook everything in a heavy bottom pan so I have everything there. Okay so these are the stove top instructions. Like I said they do have microwave instructions as well. And here are the ingredients that are in the box. All right so like I said I'm going to start out with the riddle first and then I will move over to the pralines so stay tuned. Okay so I have opened up the bag and this is what it looks like inside the bag. And so I'm going to sprinkle this on the greased portion of my pan here. And then because I do have a nonstick pan it says to bake it for 11 to 19 minutes. Now it doesn't say whether or not you should path this out or spread it out. I think I'm going to. It's a little different than what I expected. It's very very powdery.  I think that's about eight inches about close enough to it. So here it is. So I'm going to pop this in my preheated oven and it says 11 to 19 minutes. So I'm going to check it after 11 minutes and then I will come back when I pull it out of the oven and show you guys the finished product. Okay guys so I just took this out of the oven. At first I cooked it for 11 minutes and it looked just like it did when I put it in the oven meaning it was just powder. So then I added another nine minutes to it which is the max cooking time and this is what it looks like. It looks like it may have gotten overcooked. I don't know but I'm going to let this cool completely. I have my fingers crossed. I hope it turns out good. I don't know guys I'm a little concerned. I'm thinking maybe I should have cooked it in an eight by eight pan. Like a baking dish instead of this cookie sheet where it would spread out so much which is what it called for you to do. But anyway I will I guess hold my opinion until it cools completely and how many of I give a chance to taste it. So I will bring you guys back after it's cooled. We'll taste it. In the meantime I'm going to get started on the pralines so stay tuned. Okay so we are going to start with the pralines and it calls for the mix and this is what the mix looks like. Smells really you know pretty sweet brown sugary. So I'm pouring that in there and then it calls for the four tablespoons of butter. By the way I have my burner on a medium heat and then the four tablespoons of the evaporated milk. And then what it says is to heat them on a medium heat. Heat this on a medium heat until it comes to a boil all over the surface which may take a while. So this is what it looks like and I will show you what it looks like once it starts to come to a boil. Okay so I boiled at a high heat for one minute and then supposed to add in the cup of pecans. You're supposed to take it off the heat and then you're supposed to stir continuously for three minutes. Smells really good guys. All right so it's been removed from the heat and I am just dropping these by large spoonfuls on the parchment paper. Okay so I got about nine pralines out of that and it does start to stiffen up pretty quickly. So it says to let these cool for about 15 to 20 minutes and so we'll let these cool completely. And then Howard and I will come back and we'll do a taste test on the pralines and on the peanut brittle. So see you in a little bit. Okay guys so we are here with the peanut brittle and the pralines. So we're going to start out with the peanut brittle and let me show you what it looks like. So I broke it up the peanut brittle by the way cooled for it's been cooling for several hours now so I have the pralines but here it is and ready to try. Cheers. What do you think? Very crunchy. It's peanut brittle. It doesn't eat peanut brittle much. Yeah you're the peanut brittle expert here. Okay so what I will say is I told you guys that I cooked it initially for nine minutes like the directions called for at nine minutes when I checked it it was still powdery just like I put it in the oven. So I cooked it for another for another 11 minutes and I think I may have cooked it too long. I probably could have cooked it for maybe baked it for nine minutes. I thought you said additional two minutes. No it was additional 11 minutes because that's what it called for got peanut brittle on my sweater. So I think if I did this again I would probably make it in an eight by eight baking pan instead of on the cookie sheet because I really feel like it's spread too much I don't know why you couldn't have made it a lot of the directions called for you to make it in the cookie sheet but I would definitely make it in an eight by eight pan next time. So but it's not bad I would probably give it another try or just try to make my own peanut brittle next time but it's not bad but it does have it's a little bit overcooked but it's it's not bad so what I buy it though it was really easy I did pour some powder out so okay all right what you get by it again um I think I would buy it again but I would cook it in an eight by eight pan instead of on a cookie sheet next time and I would cook it for less time than the package directions called for okay all right pralines all right this is another thing that you like praline and it really does look like the box don't you think it looks like real praline it does I've been to New Orleans before and I've had a real praline and this is what it looks like I just broke it in two cheers that's really good very sweet but I mean it's not so sweet where you can't like it doesn't have a flavor I mean it doesn't taste to me it doesn't taste just like straight just sugar no it tastes like pralines I yeah it tastes like a praline you would buy from the store now these are really good and I made let me see I think I made nine pralines out of that little box I would would you buy these again not a big praline person but yes they're not bad so I would definitely buy these again I am a praline person oops I am a praline person and to me like I said they taste like a praline that you would buy out of the store I have a candy shop like I said I've been to New Orleans I've been you know in the French quarters and had their pralines and these are really good so um I guess for me prefer the pralines to the brittle I definitely prefer the pralines to the brittle I would buy both of them again but I would cook the brittle differently next time okay so hope you guys like this video if you haven't subscribed to our channel I hope that you'll do so and we'll see you guys next time thanks so much for watching bye

You'll experience patient care that is specific to you with exceptional follow-up care that ensures your hearing and balance needs are being met. Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Prestonsburg Tourism's executive director Samantha Johnson has been elected to the Kentucky Travel Industry Board of Directors to represent Kentucky Tourism on the state level. I was really thrilled and excited to hear that I had been officially nominated and that nomination accepted to represent a board position with Kentucky Travel, Kentucky Tourism Industry Association, which is kind of the overarching organization for tourism in Kentucky. It includes everyone from tourism offices and organizations through our hotels, our restaurants, our attractions, events, marketers, and it's just such a great organization. I'm really, really excited to learn from my peers who I think the world of that also represent that board. Johnson will serve a three-year term at KTIA in hopes to provide more representation for Eastern Kentucky on the state level. It's such an honor that my peers selected me as an individual to represent and to make decisions and help be a guiding post for this board and for this organization. But I think even bigger, the fact that we have more representation for Eastern Kentucky means a lot for me. And I know that was of consideration as well for the board is making sure our entire region, entire state is really represented and that our voices are heard. So as honored as I am to have that be selected as an individual, for me it means a lot to have our region and our entire Eastern Kentucky voices heard at that table as well. In addition to the KTIA Board of Directors, Johnson also serves as president for Kentucky's Appalachia and holds advisory roles to the Kentucky Wildlands and Country Music Highway 23.

One way I think you can sufficiently gauge just how much trouble a politician is in is if even people like Marjorie Taylor Greene Go out of their way to not just distance themselves from you But to actually delete any evidence that she ever met or knew you That is the exact situation that Florida congressman Matt Gaetz is finding himself in now and after learning about his scandal involving alleged sex trafficking and a possible extortion plot More details have been slowly but surely emerging and to make matters worse We're now finding out what actually triggered this investigation in the first place as Sarah K. Burris of Ross story explains CBS News revealed Wednesday that representative Matt Gaetz took a trip to the Bahamas in late 2018 or early 2019 That triggered the sex trafficking investigation sources revealed according to the report Gaetz was on that trip with a marijuana entrepreneur and hand surgeon named Jason Parazolo who allegedly paid for the travel expenses Accommodations and female escorts the Justice Department is investigating to determine if the escorts were illegally trafficked across state or International lines for sex with Gaetz or merely as escorts that do not provide anything other than companionship Hmm. I wonder now We also learned that before Donald Trump left office Matt Gaetz reportedly had a private conversation with him And he asked for a preemptive blanket pardon according to the New York Times He said no Since this story broke Donald Trump has come out and publicly denounced the story Alleging that it's fake news and you know since Donald Trump is usually a really truthful honest actor I think we can take him at his word that this totally was never a conversation that occurred Except it's totally probably true, and I don't believe it for a second. I think that Matt Gaetz is He's not letting on to how much trouble he knew that he was in and Really one thing that's telling about the situation is the fact that all of his usual allies Aren't really speaking up on his defense usually when there's a Republican politician in trouble the Republicans Propaganda arm Fox News mobilizes and comes to his defense, but they haven't really said too much about this I mean they've covered it mostly in the first 24 hours when the story broke, but even Matt Gaetz is bestie at Fox News Sean Hennedy has been nowhere to be found on this particular subject and that really tells you a lot that His closest allies they know that this ship is sinking and they want to get off before it takes them down with it So as Eric Hananoke and Matt Gertz of Media Matters explains Representative Matt Gaetz owes his political rise to Fox News Politicians gain power in the modern GOP by grabbing and holding the attention of the base and the easiest way to do that is through its most Trusted media outlet the Florida backbencher understands this structure and gained a national profile in his first two terms By fervently supporting Donald Trump and denouncing the former president's foes in near constant appearances on the right wing network He also won the favor of Trump himself who watches Fox regularly and appreciated the congressman zeal It seems however that Fox has now abandoned Gaetz at his moment of greatest need Gaetz has been engulfed in scandal following the New York Times's March 30th report that he has been under Federal investigation for alleged sex trafficking the congressman has spent the last week denying that he had sex with a minor or Paid women of legal age for sex Declining to comment on reports that he showed nude photos of women He claimed to have had sex with to other members on the house floor and drawing lackluster defenses from colleagues speaking on the record and descriptions of cartoonishly scandalous behavior Anonymously but Fox devoted a mere 45 minutes to the Gaetz saga through Tuesday and nearly three quarters of that coverage came in the First 24 hours with the network providing sparse coverage of subsequent revelations Perhaps the most notable absence from Gaetz defense is primetime host Sean Hannity Even as Gaetz responded to the allegations by spinning the sort of convoluted tale of deep state conspiracy and right wing Victimhood that seems tailor-made for Hannity's program The Fox star has seemingly left him for dead Gaetz is a Hannity fixture since August of 2017 He made a hundred twenty seven appearances on the program roughly 41 percent of the 310 interviews he gave the network overall including a disastrous turn on Tucker Carlson tonight to respond to the initial Times report According to media matters database of weekday programming Gaetz is the 11th most frequent Hannity guest over that period and ranks Second to Senator Lindsey Graham among guests who have not served as paid Fox contributors Yet the Fox star has not mentioned the embattled congressman's travails not on his primetime TV show Not on his nationally syndicated radio show not on his website and not on Twitter So obviously Sean Hannity silence here is deafening imagine if We were in the middle of an election cycle and as someone who supported Bernie Sanders and defended him There was this gigantic scandal that popped up and I had nothing to say about it. That would be really Really conspicuous right my silence would be a little bit weird if you're a usual viewer So the same thing is true here when you have someone who is an ally to you Who goes on your program all the time for you to be silent in a time like this? That says a lot now perhaps Sean Hannity silence has something to do with the fact that Matt Gaetz Implicated Tucker Carlson and maybe Sean Hannity is a little bit too close to this He doesn't want to fly any closer to the Sun than he already has I don't know I'm very obviously just speculating But the fact that Sean Hannity of all people is not touching this That says a lot That tells you that Matt Gaetz He's going down This is uh This is one of the many red flags. Uh, this is This is him.  How many republicans defended Roy Moore who was an alleged pedophile But in this instance for whatever reason they are conspicuously silent for one of their best friends matt Gaetz And that says a lot that tells you everything you need to know That uh, there's more than they're letting on and they know that this is a very very serious scandal But I mean, I think that we all know that matt Gaetz should do the right thing He should resign and I'm gonna take some time to fire off a tweet at him telling him how I feel I'm sorry, but when even marjorie taylor green Distances herself from you You know, you're in real trouble So do the right thing and resign matt Gaetz.  I hope that matt Gaetz gets the message Anyways, the story is incredibly interesting and I am anxiously awaiting more and more details because This might be one of the biggest political scandals of the year


Can you tell us, Felicin, on the last 24 hours about the investigation? Well, yesterday, a 51-year-old male person contacted CAN-C-I-B and wanted to give some information in relation to this investigation. As a result, detectives from CAN-C-I-B and the Homicide Squad travelled to an address in Corander where they spoke to this male person. He subsequently made a number of ambitions in relation to the murder of Miss Liddy. And as a result, he was later charged with murder and is now in custody. Are you able to say what his connection to who was? Was he a friend? No, I can't say at this stage. Was he the cyclist at all that made the call to crime stop this? Look, I believe that he has made some admissions in relation to that. So, he was the voice on the end of the line saying, look, there's a girl bleeding in a bus stop. He made some admissions about making their phone call. So, that's about all I can tell you at this stage. What will you be looking for at the, obviously, there's something set up at Corander? What will you be investigating there? Look, there's a crime scene to process at Corander. So, we'll be working there until that's completed. That's part of our ongoing investigation. The investigation doesn't stop. There's still bits and pieces to be followed up and finalised before the investigation can be considered complete. And did police probing lead to them finding this alleged offender? Sorry? Did your investigations, like your messages being sent out and all of that, did that lead to finding this alleged offender? Look, I think from what this gentleman told detectives, he was expecting to be visited. And we're assuming that the great media support that we've had in regard to this investigation has built up over time. And this guy, as a result, has decided to come forward. Is there any idea of whether Erika has been at this place in Corander and that was where she may have been assaulted and then taken to Freshwater? Look, that's part of the matter that will be material that we put before the court, and I can't say too much at this stage. Is it the fact we're known to each other in some way? Look, I can't probably come out on that either at this stage. No, it's kind of rephrasing what you've said, but obviously I would imagine that it sounds like the public have helped you in your investigation here. Is that the case? Look, the investigation has received a lot of community support and information which we've followed.  Is this case any different to others in the fact that you're the reaction that you've had from the community? Look, it depends on what people actually know and we've had a fair bit of support from the community in relation to this and we thank all those people who've come forward with information. Every bit of information that is brought forward to us is followed up and we follow all those things out as part of the investigation. What was the murder weapon? I can't tell you that at this stage. Are you still looking for anyone else? Is he the only person that was a suspect in this? At this stage we're not looking for anyone else. Do you think that his house at Corander is that believed to be where she was killed or is there another primary scene other than the bus stop? Look, the address at Corander is considered probably the primary crime scene. Is there anything else that you'd like to add in this picture? No, other than to thank or acknowledge the work of the detectives that were involved in this matter. There were homicide squad detectives from Brisbane plus Cancelby detectives and they've been working flat out for the last five weeks putting this together. I mean, there hasn't been a lot of information so it's been hard work and we've been supported by the media and we thank you for that as well. Have you spoken to the Liddy family? Yes, detectives did contact the Liddy family yesterday. I'm not familiar with what that conversation was. I know that they have made the family aware of this outcome. Do you know whether the family knew him at all? No, I'm not aware of that. So at the moment we think that she's an innocent girl out in the streets and somehow she's been picked up and taken to Corander and murdered? Look, I can't probably extrapolate any further the information I've already given you.


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Happy Monday to you guys. This is the market outlook video for this week on foot. Should be a full week of content. Again, we are deep into the heart of foot miss, a promo that definitely hasn't been the most spectacular promo as of yet. The SBCs they've been putting out have been bang average most days just because of the price points, right? The players in the upgrades. Well, some of the upgrades aren't even that good as well. Douglas Costa today with like just a very kind of poor upgrade. Fakir kind of an upgrade as well. I mean, I like the position with center attack mid like this is a good card. I would I would think about doing this card if it wasn't the 200,000 coin price kind of cap that it is somewhere on the 200,000 coin range with this card, 87 overall squad. If you would tell me this this was like 85 rated squad with an inform then I would totally do it probably. I mean, because that would knock the price down a lot and it would be probably a little bit more worth it. But that's going to factor into what we talk about this week for foot miss content. So what do we have to look forward to this week on the game? Of course, foot miss. We're getting two SBCs every day and we have four more objective players that we will be getting in the next until the 24th of December. Four more objective players that we're going to be getting as well. So one every couple days, it seems to be what we're getting right? So six objective players total. So every two days, we'll probably get one. So today, Monday, probably not an objective player after we got Thiago Mendez today. So we have Mendez and Bauman both in here for objectives at the moment. So we do have two options there. Probably Tuesday we'll get another one of these. It'd be interesting to see who they put in. So far, two CDMs, right? Two CDMs with decent cards. I would have liked maybe a little bit of a increased stat boost on Thiago Mendez, but it is what it is. I do think a lot of people are interested in this card though. I've seen him once in a week and they're ready today. So I think people are grinding that one out, but just kind of it requires some rivals, man, which I don't play a lot of rivals. So it is what it is. But first of all, I want to look at the SBCs that we could be getting this week. I won't spend a ton of time on this, but I always like to cover what could be coming at least today on Monday and then look ahead a little bit as well. Boys, have we had a single player that's been a Premier League player in these SBCs yet? I don't think that we have now today on Monday, the count up on the nationalities, men's international team ranking number four. We're on day four of foot miss and the number four ranked team in the world is England. So we will be getting an English SBC today. Somebody from the English national team or an English player will be in SBC today on Monday and we will also be getting an SBC from one of these five teams here. Lester, Sociedad, Haufenheim, Nimes, Olympic, whatever that is, and then Sampdoria, which right now there are leaks going around the community at this moment that are saying that we are getting a foot miss Rashford tomorrow. So there'll be two years in a row for a Marcus Rashford SBC if that does come true. That would mean another Rashford SBC is coming last year we got Rashford and this year the way they're pricing and a lot of people making jokes today that this SBC would be like 700 K right, which would be really grossly overpriced, which he doesn't have any special cards.  He is England is English and he's Manchester United. So you give this guy a sizable boost. A lot of people are going to want to do him. So again, the boost and the pricing is what's the most important for these cards and if we get a good SBC tomorrow that a lot of people want to do it could be interesting right. So Rashford is in the hype tomorrow. I do think you're you know, I don't I don't want to trust the leaks because we always get foot mist leaks man. We really we always get foot mist leaks and the first two weren't really leaked, but then today was with the Costa with the Fakir. It was known hours before that we were going to be getting those. So that's where people are also getting the the Rashford and this Marillo card is also supposed to be getting an SBC and here's kind of my question man. We keep getting all these Siri a SBC's man Mal K today Douglas Costa. Those are two Syria SBC that we gotten back to back days two out of the first three days of foot as we have Syria players. Can we get some other guys in there? I know we got Vitzela. We got Luca Bakio and I think we got like a first day we got Moses Simon who is League on right. I think I incorrectly said that he was in La Liga in my my video a couple days ago, but we had Bates today with Fakir. Can we get some more La Liga and Prem SBC's please? Yeah, a lot of people in this in this game use Prem and La Liga SBC's. So again, we're going to find out later on this week if the links are actually if the leaks are actually true. I don't want to really focus on that, but it is a big talking point. This is the other SBC that we could be getting today. If they juice this card man, it could be a nice card medium high work rates. Can you imagine like plus four plus five plus sixes on this cards stats? If they give him like plus five pace, get him to eighty pace and like mid eighties defending and mid eighties physical like this could be a sick card, right? Not that a lot of people would easily be able to link it in teams, but I think you would see people go out and do the SBC if it was 40 or 50 K for a card like that.  Douglas Costa with a very minimal upgrade. Again, I mentioned for like nothing, no upgrade and you're spending like 200 K on that. And this is also like 200 K I think. So these are maybe like 160 and 200. I don't even know their prices to be exact. Douglas Costa's 130 and Fakir's 190. Those are the exact prices according to foot bin. So again, just kind of another meh day on the market. One thing that we did not get today though was a pack supply SBC. These are still the two pack supply SBC's that we've gotten that I have not done yet. They're out for a couple more days. I do think we'll get another pack supply SBC on Monday. Okay. And that was one reason why you might see some of these cards that people are talking about flipping these team of your nominees. They are very risky to flip. They are possible to flip because they fluctuate a lot, but it's risky, right? Because these cards are in packs and they have a huge, huge drop rate and that's going to be something that's going to keep this market in control. I think this week and this another smart move by EA men 12% pack weight inside of a hundred thousand coin pack. They've been refreshing these packs in the store every six hours. So there are, they are putting packs in the store that people can open, but they did not run lightning rounds. So that is kind of interesting. Although I do know some people are opening packs while these cards are in packs, but some of those, some of these cards are very flippable right now and very tradable, especially with chem style flipping for me. No is one that I've had really good success with chemistry style flipping around 110,000 coins. You can get a sale with a hunter chem style on his card and I've gotten multiple of them for around like 90,000 coins where his card actually sells at and you can get sales around a hundred and 10,000 coins with the hunter chem style. So that's something to look out for that. There's another one with a hunter chem chemistry style trading with these new cards is really cool because yes, they are only plus one upgrades, but people want these cards in their teams because they are cool because they have the dynamic images. It's only a plus one, but some of these guys don't have any other special cards that are, you know, like in this game they're usable that are at a decent price, right? For Roberto Firmino, you either have his gold card, his UCL card, which are the same rating. You now have this card, which is 90K and then you have his Scream card, which is like 900,000 K, right? So 900,000 coins for the Scream card versus 90K for this. A lot of people are using these cards, man. Allison is also one of the most popular. I mentioned this in my video yesterday, I think this is one of the most popular cards out there too, man, because Allison doesn't have any special cards. I've heard from people that this goalkeeper card is very OP and you know, it's a link to VVD. He's Brazilian. It's got a cool dynamic image and he's Liverpool, right? So I think a lot of people are starting to use these these cards and put them in their teams. Again, I would be very, very careful with them this week though, because their pack weight is insane. Yes, people want to use them. They're good to trade with on fluctuations, but you really have to be careful with pack supply. A lot of times these guys get low during the middle of the day, especially early on when they've been pretty rare. They haven't been packed a ton yet because we haven't had lightning rounds. That's something to remember with these cards. We haven't actually had lightning rounds yet, so that keeps their value kind of low. If we see a lot of pack supply SBCs this week, that would deter me from like wanting to maybe invest in these cards out of packs or trade with them even more because they're going to have less supply from not having lightning rounds, but it's something to remember that when we do get pack supply this week, these cards will be getting packed a decent amount, so just be careful for that one PM each day. Usually it's kind of the lowest for the market. The way that the market has been working recently in recent days is that the market actually gets the lowest around the middle of the daytime and Saturday specifically, we saw a huge opportunity to buy these cards into Sunday morning. Even I did this Friday night into Saturday, the first night they were in packs. I bought sterlings for 147 149, sold them for 180, right? The fluctuation wasn't as big from Saturday into Sunday, but I'm hoping for another small fluctuation from Sunday into Monday even with squad battle rewards. After that, these prices did take a little bit of a hit on some cards. So I'm looking to maybe take advantage of that on some of the more usable cards and especially on a guy like Sterling, right? If Rashford comes out tomorrow, who are you going to link Rashford to as a right wing position? Well, Sterling is your guy to be honest. Sterling really is your guy. So I'm watching this card pretty closely. If I see him around 120,000 coins again, I will be definitely interested in picking him up. I think as a possible link investment now, I'm not one person who really likes to invest in leaks, but maybe this will be a buy that if I do see Rashford come out right away at 6 p.m. UK, I do go and check that out. So again, that's a look at the kind of the market with those cards and how I feel about them. I do think we're going to get packed supply SBCs. One other mention about that is this week's team of the week is going to be a decently rare team of the week, in my opinion. Yes, we have had packed supply SBCs. But this won't be soccer cards like 49,000 coins, right? 48K. If you can get this guy for like mid to low 40s on bid on Xbox, he's still kind of like 50,000. I would wait for him to drop down to 50K on Xbox with like a couple packs supply SBCs. I think he could get there. But this card is again a very good budget right back in the Premier League.  So that gives him some added hard and just for a little bit of context, I think Ricardo Pereira's card is around this price. How much is Ricardo Pereira? Yeah. So he's a similar price. He's got less pace. They're really identical cards and our boy won't be soccer gets way better links. You know what with a shadow? Hold up, boys. Whenever I see a shadow on the cheapest card in the market, I get curious. Is this the cheapest car with a shadow 48K and 46K? And the next cheapest is interesting. Where's the next cheapest after that? 54K. Interesting. Very interesting. I might have to look at that a little bit. I'm not going to look at the moment though because it doesn't look like there's much money in it unless I could sell them both and sell them for 50. But I don't know how many people are going to use that card. His price has gone down a lot after the Wombie soccer has come out. But I do think that there are some cards in this week's stream of the week that could rise out of packs. It's something to look forward to if we get it packed supplies. We see today on Monday or Tuesday is maybe getting in on some of those other events that we could have earlier on in the week this week. We've already seen some panic selling because of this, but a popular striker in the Bundesliga is set to win player of the month. His name is Timo Werner. His inform is taking a dive right now because it's people are selling this inform because anticipation of his player of the month card coming out. He's gotten player of the month cards before. He would probably go to an 87 POTM. He's going to win. Like he's going to win the fan vote and he had an insane month. So I do expect to get an SBC card of player of the month Timo Werner this week. I think that Serge Nabri expires on Wednesday. Is that correct? Nabri expires on Tuesday. Tuesday? Tuesday. So yes, Tuesday. It's 6pm UK. Nabri will be expiring. It looks like or not even 6pm UK. One day, 12 hours. So even earlier than that. So Nabri is going to expire on Tuesday. It looks like. And then we will be the Tuesday or Wednesday. I can't get my math right. But then I think we'll be seeing player of the month Werner. If you guys want to invest for some of that again, if we look at some of the we'll have a specific video on that probably early in the week this week, talking about some of that stuff. But of course, you're looking for Bundesliga. You're looking for maybe some German informs and then some higher rated.  Even some guys that just link to those cards could be good. Some good link investments through some of those guys for a possible team over the month. And then of course, after we have all the foot mist stuff that's going to be continuing going on through the end of the week on Friday. It's another big day because these team of the year nominees go out of packs, but prime icons and icon swaps to should be starting. As you can tell if you look at the top right right on my face cam right over here. Season two. It says four days and 12 hours. That is going to be Friday. It's 6 p.m. UK ish Friday at 6 p.m. UK ish is when that will be these icon swaps will be resetting and we will get icon swaps set to now there's going to be some talk about that later this week. People are asking what about icons? What's going to happen with those? Icons are at an all time low right now especially some of the higher tier ones. I think that some people are selling off these mids just because the market is so low and because I think they're scared of the prime prices. Honestly, this mithold is 5.2. He was over 6 mil baby Eusebio. Some of the babies in some of the middles are being panic sold. A ton. Cruyff is another one. I think of Carlos Alberto. Now a lot of people want to know are these cards going to rise out of packs? I mean, I'm going to do a little bit more research this week and see what we see with more icon prices later on in this week. I don't think that these guys are going to rise out of packs that much except for a select few. This guy might be a select few but the market is just so low from you know all the panic in the past two weeks with team of the group stage and this new week of foot miss and these team of your nominee cards. So if there are some icons that you think are super duper low I think some of the mids I do think some of the mids especially like a guy like Hullet who is one of the most in demand icons in this game. I think a guy like this could rebound 5-1 for Hullet. I'm going to add this and see if it gets a bit in sales but I think this is the type of card that could rebound because let's be honest boys you have people talking about the prime icon and pack weight and is our prime icons pack weight going to be are they going to come out of the market and kind of you know push down the prices of the mids I think no I mean honestly if you see this middle whole at 5 mil right now he's already dropped a million coins if you think about how rare it is for somebody to pack a prime Hullet I would be surprised if we see more than two prime Hullets within the first day even with lightning rounds now unless EA wants to do some stupid out of mind thing and makes prime icons like their pack weight like kind of legit and like you can actually pack them and we start seeing and pop up with a market that might cause some problems in this game but I cannot see them doing that because these are icons men icons have never been easy to pack it's like that with team of the ears as well people ask me are team of the year is going to have insane pack weight like these other promotions have been with the nominee cards and stuff like that and to that I say no like there's no possible way in my mind that they're going to make those cards cheap right I think prime icons are going to be stupid expensive right away to start things out because that's how we a makes money right that the cards are stupid expensive right away people by them with at the inflated price you might see people buying prime whole at like eight nine million coins right it's going to be the prices that some of the moments would have been last year even though the market is this low people know it's coming and I think they're not prepared for it but I think they're they're expecting it right and that's why I think you're going to see a buy back on some of the middle tier icons because just people are going to realize yo there's like one or two hold on the market I'm not going to pay nine or 10 mil for the prime hold it when I can just go buy the middle one for five right so I do think you're going to see some of the mid icons the really OP ones maybe Vieira maybe you sebio even baby card um maybe Carlos Alberto but again I mentioned Vieira hold it maybe like a Zambrata you know there's some position change stuff going on there as well but the really really meta ones I don't think they're going to stay this low now some of the babies and some of this guys that are just kind of like you know icons in there like like a baby barns or a um like a middle linnaker some of these guys I just think uh there's just not as much hype for them anymore because yes their icons but a lot of these guys have fallen so much like I don't know if people really want to use linnaker at the moment prime linnaker is going to come out but you know that was a good card last year I don't know I don't think that's going to affect a lot of the really low tier icon stuff you know the baby icons like discard icons we call them discard they're not actually actually discard but it's crazy how low these are getting right now I mean 120,000 coins I think is what I saw for the discard icons which are like the cheapest icons on the market I want to check this because this is insane and again it is insane because these cards are not going to be an sbc this year 100 119,000 coins for baby and zaggy on the market right now baby and zaggy for 119,000 coins never going to be needed for an sbc this year and that's why some of these prices are nuts but again that's another way that EA can crash the market and zaggy was probably like 250k early this year right or maybe 200k and now he's 119 so interesting stuff with those prime icons we'll talk a little bit more about that and maybe get ourselves like an icon swap set to prediction later on in the week this week as well but that's what I see for the week man every single day this week again when you see a new sbc come in to the sbc section look at the card that comes out look at the upgrade and look at the cost compare the card to its other highest overall versions see what kind of upgrades it gets and compare the cost of that sbc and think about if this card had an inform how much would it be on the market if this 87 Fakir card had an informer had a special card on the market I do not think it'd be 191 thousand coins I really don't and I know you have to value the sbc maybe a little bit higher than what the card would be on the market because then you wouldn't take as many coins off the market if you're sitting in EA's shoes and thinking about that but why'd you make Whistle 50K I think Whistle on the market would probably be somewhere around like 40 to 50K that sbc was valued very well for what the card was so again that's a good way to kind of judge the price of a card and you know maybe maybe you think Fakir on the market would be somewhere on like me 60 or 70K maybe even like 50K um but if the sbc was 100K I bet you there'd be a lot more people doing this because it's foot miss man it is foot miss and we just it's foot misses it's Christmas is about like what gifts you know and being nice and friendliness and a lot of these sbc's have really not been in the spirit of of Christmas at at this time yet so hopefully as we near the actual date of Christmas they turned things around and get their heads out of their butts we'll see what happens boys alright we will see what happens with that kind of stuff of course player the month this week again prime icons coming into packs on Friday the 20th I do believe other than that some player or some again player the month but also these team of your nominee cards impacts this week probably going to be still good for fluctuations a lot of people like these cards and yeah I'm really interested to see what happens this week with the foot miss content that's like the main content that we should be getting this week row to the final cards I want to make a quick mention about a lot of these are rare right and some of these guys fluctuate a ton I'm thinking about Alan a decent amount Alan's right now is down to 378 379 that's kind of low for a man that's kind of low for Alan he was over 400 K because of the Mal K as Mal Kui SBC yesterday Militao fluctuates a ton so if you honestly want to trade with some of these guides like chem style trade or just trade with these row the finals these guys are going to fall at the back burner a little bit unless they're like a direct link investment to an SBC that comes out and if you do a link investment to any of the foot miss SBCs that come out again if it's a good value SBC that people are going to do link investments will go up because people will do it and put in their team these cards will be great if there's if they link to any of the foot miss SBCs because they are rare right screen cards and these are going to be great for Lincoln investments during the footness promo so keep your eyes out for link and compliment link investments and supplementary investments speaking of supplementary Hama's Rodriguez today is down like 40k thanks to the SBC brought to you by Fikir right I think you might have been even lower than 250 or 240 earlier today but he's 250 right now Fikir came out as like 200,000 coins 190k and he's a center attack in mid like this Hama's card is and it dropped Hama's today so that was an interesting thing to look out for but if you got a Hama's at a cheap price today in the panic it probably will rebound right because screen cards are super rare so again just something to keep in mind as these foot miss SBC's do come out value and the upgrade is what you really need to be worried and focused on when the new SBC's do come out thank you guys for watching this video today I really do appreciate it if you enjoyed it smack a thumbs up on a comment let down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you are new it's been Nate the Foot Accountant catch you guys later


Newt is reigning love and forgiveness in the music industry. Tewa Savage and Whiskit might have put an end to their two years of rumored beef. The two of them linked up after their performance at Afro Beats Festival in Germany as seen in the video making rounds on the internet. Whiskit and Tewa Savage met at the after-party and squashed their beef when Whiskit walked up to her and gave her a warm hug that chatted away like old friends who haven't seen each order in a long time. This act of reconciliation is coming days after Whiskit publicly declared his love for Davido and two of his two years of Tewa Savage being dragged by his fans.


We are having a meeting here. This is actually more entertaining than above. A little bit of what the video team is doing. We have several teams here working. The teams are this abstract for the proceedings for our camera team. How do you mix it? Do we have extremely authority? Extremist is the most important. Not knowing and archiving is not really... I'm not sure if this will happen from Mexico. And collecting of the slides of the speakers, which needs to be done and producing in the east. These are the areas of the team that we have. We also have some... Tomorrow, today, we have network here in the morning. I'm not sure there are some other open questions. Should we use the meeting? We started the recording for the last conferences. For other stuff, like for example, we talked with Foster, but there are also other talks, which might be interesting for Indian people. The same goes for other conferences. One of the issues is that at the moment, in the last year, I was the only one maintaining the archive, uploading stuff there, putting slides there, organizing stuff, and I would like to have a team doing this because in a year or two years, I won't be fed up with this if I do it alone. Also how to inform about new content. Last year, I mostly used my blog to say there are new talks available. I was thinking about creating an RSS feed or announce mailing lists, or I don't know. Another question is what to do with the source files. Today, we've gathered 100 gigabytes of data. I think we can throw away 30% or something, but DV is still the best quality. Should we keep it now and upload it in three years, or should we throw it away or whatever? Another thing is backup of the complete archive. I upload it to one machine, from which it gets r-sync to another, but if it's deleted on the one machine, the r-sync mode automatically deletes it on the other, so I keep a backup of everything I upload on my hard drive at home, and I'm buying hard drives. I've bought two hard drives in the last year, I think. License stuff. At the moment, we use a software license. We discussed and forced them to create a DepCon video team license, which was when you wanted to do that to... I haven't done that, but I should think. I can reword the MIT license slightly, so it's failure rather than software or something like that. Yeah, I knew it was easy, but I didn't remember what to do with it. The last thing from my list from this proceeding was sponsorship. Maybe find sponsors for DV cams for video team members so that we can actually test setups before conferences and not in the last evening before. And also, the last conferences I did, I borrowed DV cams from different friends and copied all the tapes, and the thing what makes... The cameras... Playing DV tapes is more... Does the camera hurt more than recording, so I don't feel comfortable always asking friends for the cameras to grab stuff from the tapes. That's the list of things I had. Yeah, I don't know how to go on with this buff at the moment because I'm completely tired. So one thing which we not discussed here and were really a volunteer would be needed would be collecting slides from all the speakers so that we can upload the slides together with the talks. Usually 30%, 40% of the speakers sent in their slides, then you send a request mail for the slides and another 30% sent them. Yeah, hand over the microphones. We cannot do pictures as last year in Helsinki. In Helsinki we had a hardware DV mixer and we don't have that thing now because of the lack of DV cams also as a reason. It wasn't a DV mixer, it was an analog mixer. Okay, in Helsinki it was an analog mixer but we thought about preparing a DV mixer or anything and we couldn't do this because we have no cameras. And at some Spanish conference in Mallorca, I don't remember which it was, the SCP, the slides, the screen shot from the speaker's desktop to a web server so people on the net could see the slides. This is one thing, but the other thing is to actually get the slides, get the PDF or the sources to upload them together with the movie. This is a different thing. So this would also be another job which would be nice if somebody would do this which also involves going to the speakers, installing the small script to upload the slides but it would also be good because as we see today some speakers don't test their laptop with VGA out and come here and don't have a way to display their slides. So this is also a task. Tullima is going to all the speakers and tells them that they should test the notebook and they should speak with the audience and they should do whatever speaker information and so it would maybe good to hook up with him and to go to all the speakers and prepare this SCP thing. So do we want the SCP thingy? I think it would be nice. The streams are not so good quality and some slides are not really readable. Like in the Intel talk, she used very small forms. But if we have no internet here, what's the point? We do have internet here. We do. Yes, it's just turned down today because we did not manage the bandwidth. I can work in that. Yeah, it would be cool. But as you said, if the... Yeah. I should have tested it better, I guess. Yeah, but I don't think it's so difficult to do. Well, sometimes it makes the whole screen flicker with every capture this script makes and that's very completely... I can try. You can do it. Yeah, then somebody would be nice if somebody would say, I will collect the slides and upload them. Yeah, cool. We could do it as a team. Exactly, but just, yeah. Have a mailing... Okay. No, he doesn't have to... Yeah, we all have a... You not, but everybody in the video team and we can add you as an account on Homa. Maybe everybody has an account on Homa now. And then you have an account on Homa, you have an account, I know. You got mail with your password. Oh, that mail. And there we can just create a shared directory for the video team where we can upload all slides and put them, yeah, collect them. The other thing, we need to work on the encoding of the videos. Like now we have the raw DV files and we need to write some scripts which will encode them to different codecs and different qualities, which should not be that hard. The script is easy. I've written those scripts for other conferences and we just need to define what qualities do we have and then we need to decide if we can keep those DV files, if there are enough, or throw them away because we don't have the hard drive space. I think we should see this in a few days. We still have at the moment 900 gigabytes free space left on this machine and on the other machine and the heckler is also one terabyte. So that should work. This is a borrowed machine. So we will presume we cannot take away the disks. So unless we have disks to copy to, we cannot keep those original files. Yeah, I was already counting on your hard drive and my hard drive, which is together half a terabyte, that we will most certainly need to... There won't be enough for the DV, will it? One hour of DV is 12 gigabytes. So... And with the encoders... We will have more than 40 hours. Yeah, and with the encoded stuff in different formats, so we can say one hour is probably 20 gigabytes, including raw DV, maybe it's only 18, but if we have 40 hours, then it's 700 gigabytes, so we will need another 300 gigabyte hard drive to get everything... We'll keep the tapes. We can keep the tapes, but then we have 40 tapes, which will be, again, lots of work too, but that would be a way to store it and copy it later, but I don't think... The tapes are... The DV and the raw DV is going to be just a backup, because no one's going to want to download that. So it's a backup if we really need it, I think. I think nowadays nobody will download it, but in five years maybe it's... Then we have the tapes. Yeah, but then we won't work with the tapes. Then the tapes will be in some dusty corner of some cupboard, and I won't be interesting in 40 hours copying the tapes. It's not 40 hours work, but it's 40 hours. I think we should definitely keep the tapes, but what if in five years devices that can copy off DV tapes faster than real-time will be actually affordable. Right now they're not affordable at all, but maybe we might in the future be able to borrow or buy one relatively affordably. Tourer hypotheticals are very nice, but I don't know if that's really realistic at the moment. No, no, no, but the point is in five years we will still have the tapes. In five years we'll have another five years worth of tapes as well. Sorry. Can you turn the camera away now? Okay. Tourer will just build this machine, no? Tourer knows about tapes. We have the setup with the streaming that we constantly produce streams and write it to the hard drive and get files which are labeled I think tower minus date minus hour or minus time. And that would be another job to on the end of the day to rename those files into useful file names for the encoding. Otherwise we'll get much more files which we'll need to rename. I think this and also delete the other stuff so that we get... I think this would be good to have it in the video team tasks schedule like we have now tasks for audio mixers, video camera operators that there is every day somebody who volunteers to go through the files and we need actually to have a way of viewing the DV files as it is. There's... As Marge is currently configured there's no way of actually viewing the DV files from there. We would need somewhat to be able to serve those to... I mean you could serve them to the grabbing machines and install a... Toge and Morph DLC or whatever on there at the moment that isn't done. We also have the problem that we... The hack lab will be closed... At least the tower will be closed at some moment in the evening and we only have a 10-ambit link to the rest of the network so we cannot really watch DV files on the other end. Or can we? No we can't. DV certainly not. So we basically need to encode everything and then decide after encoding what we throw away, right? We can figure it out fairly well by the timestamp, by looking at the modified time. You have to tell us when the recording ended. Like the way you work now you interrupt the recording when the talk starts and interrupt it when the talk ends and so we have one 10-minute break or something so we can throw away the small fires. No. We actually have one break between... We tend to have one break between talks. In practice, the way it's been done I've tried to do it this way but I don't know if it's been done this way consistently but I interrupt it before each talk and after each talk which then produces a bunch of small fires which we can then throw away or just echo nil into it so that your serial number generator won't be confused because that just iterates over each serial number. Isn't it so that in the current schedule there are no consecutive talks? There is always a break between the talks. There will always be a break between the talks because at least the speaker changes. Yeah. I don't see where is the point because you don't have two talks following each other yesterday but I mean the coming days? Yeah, but there will always be a small break like people will get in and get out so that's not really the point that's just the point that we will have small and big fires which we know we can throw away probably but I would still suggest to encode them first to view them shortly. Another reason to continue making the small files is that as long as the breaks in the file are short enough we can continue streaming them so that you only you don't stop the stream which would force the clients to reconnect you just stop recording or just make a sort of mark in the recording. But if you stop if you stop the recording now then it automatically reconnects do the clients then have to reconnect? Not if they don't run out of buffer space I believe from my personal experience sorry from my personal experience what further away what am I doing wrong from personal experience when I run an ice car stream without the source briefly it sometimes will if it's briefly enough it will not reconnect but the way it's set up now was how brief is briefly enough? less brief than what we're doing now because what's happening now is that when we interrupt it's just a quick rerun of the files then half a second probably you're always just saying I'll see that they did have to reconnect between Denise's talk and this one so it depends how briefly that was yeah but we encountered some strange network related problems if you scroll up here you will see that it fails to log in to the server several times but the way this DC6 record whatever script is called it just automatically restarts the capturing and the streaming is this break short enough? yeah it should be anyway but we cannot make it any shorter anyway it's automatically started instantly actually there's a one second delay in there simply so that you can interrupt it properly so that could be removed but it wouldn't be very difficult to stop the loop then it would be difficult to to break the script we could just reduce the delay, do you know sleep allows for floating point delay numbers if you just say sleep dot one seconds you might decrease the chances of that happening I believe so yeah this is getting a bit into details yeah it is yeah but I think it would be nice if we try it but this is the details of topic or details but we already have I have not counted the files 20 or 30 files which we cannot review tonight because we won't have the bandwidth to view them well we can if we encode them first yeah if we encode them fast but how fast is the machine here I don't know I think it's just a single processor with three Gihats or something there are 27 files by the way there are at least two processors so in my experience if you load the quality the encoding will run much much faster and you don't need much quality for review yes but we will need to have to set it up and I think it's unrealistic that we'll start the encoding things before dinner maybe we should just do it before dinner so during dinner it gets encoded then we can review them after dinner or maybe we should have a task force tomorrow or one person or whatever to review them we can try starting encode them which can we decide quickly which formats and we can just encode them now without deciding so what we streamed would should be enough to review them and do proper encodings later we just throw them away fine there are 27 files 7 of them are of zero length and how many are below 2 gigabytes most of them 12 minutes hang on I'll just grab 6 of them are large as in over 1 gigabyte and how many talks did we have today 6 yeah that basically works out then cool I love it when that happens is there anything else we need to decide now I'm interested in your ideas of team maintenance of meeting archive dbnnet I'm not quite clear what how much work that involves what the tasks are do you mean the encoding I mean the archive well all the recorded talks are stored all the depthcon 5 videos and the foster videos and the other conferences videos because at the moment these are mostly talks or conferences where I have been and if you go to a conference to make recordings there at the moment there's no way to upload them to announce that which I've right so it's not so much that there's more work than you can it's just not so much that it's too much work for you it's just that it's an access issue yes also that but there's there's also leftover work from depthcon 5 the we had a nice overview or we still have a nice overview page on the dbn wiki which I think would be good to have it moved there there are still some slides in my inbox but people send them to me and there are still slides missing and there are some DVDs were not produced there's stuff other people could do and this is basically just a call for your participation participation and how the access issue then we will be solved can we discuss and practice when it's due okay you want a mic so let's stop now might be a time now might be a time to assign people to task for tomorrow yes cry the noon I just remembered by the way that today on IRC lots of people for various buffs so I think it's interesting to stream buffs and I think we have the setup so we just do it in the other hack lab it's only operating a camera basically no we have not tested this today as planned yesterday by the way but we tested it which is the same setup so it should just work with little preparation and tomorrow there's this welcome we went at 11 I think and then there's the first thing scheduled here at right after lunch I don't know I don't think so there's the schedule with the all the handwritten editions to the schedule I don't know if there's an online version I hope so yeah there's something in the wiki for all the buffs and stuff in the schedule there's actually one short session here before lunch yeah tomorrow Open Selahat and Debian can we be friends there's also just before that the welcome thing which is going to be here of course aren't you looking at the schedule Neil not at the schedule at the I'm looking at everything that's in here here being the parliamentary tower we need to assign people to the high ground as well there are buffs tomorrow the only extra ones that I remember off the top of my head is no we wanted to discuss to settle our tasks our schedule for tomorrow I think okay I think the world has to enjoy a very overworked video team now hello by us be be it would be nice tour has been disenfranchised so Natti you don't have your list here all of you bastards so then we can decide to talk about this list during dinner or before dinner preferably before dinner that was when Neil was looking at this computer there isn't nothing here is it no wireless internet anyway boom have you recording that have you seen what they're doing ah streaming porn she was naked again should we stop the recording now and discuss
