Yeah, from Austin. Oh, wow. You guys have like skate parks and stuff under you? Like that? No. Skating experience or like anything at all remotely close? I played a lot of Tony Hawk. Me too. That's how I got into it. Tony Hawk 6-8-3. Yeah. So how do you know like, like what's the best one that you can get? It's usually like, people have their own like different opinions. Everyone always goes for these. Yeah. And I always choose these. Yeah. Don't want the holes in them. We'll get whatever, whatever you like, no worries. These are sick. All right. All right. Yeah, all good. Yeah, I want to watch you install it, yeah. Just gonna swap out the front of it. Instead of putting the whole new truck on it. So I can have more life if this happens again. Oh, okay. I just throw the other one on there. Oh, yeah. Right there. See, now they're nice. Freaked out when we walked in here. No, no, no, they're just, they're always angry. Stay wary of these dogs. Yeah. Call them the Reese's dogs. They don't like me at all. Yeah. So that's how it is sometimes for these dogs. Unbelievable. Mitchmatch trucks. I think, I think they see me sometimes. They're like, why is that dog so big? Oh, wow. Hey, at least your hair is cool, man. Yeah, thanks. There we go. All right. You should be good.  So, I was like, at least I could do, you know? It's as long as someone gets inspired by skating. It makes me happy. Yeah, that's sick. I like that. I'm like full side quest. Yeah, of course. That is awesome. Yeah, of course. It's all good. You got the shirt on. I'm not calling no more. All right, there you go. Can I see it on the phone? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn. You are so incredibly nice. Oh, absolutely. Thank you. Stickers.

Okay, he's going to go for it. Let's see if he gets the trick. Yeah. Nice. Hell yeah. There we go. There you go, dude. Hell yeah. That was badass. That was so sick. What did he do? He landed it. Dude, that was so sick. Dude, feel strong, man. He finally landed it. All right. Hey, good shit, man. Thank you, man. Yeah, of course, dude. I don't feel good. Yeah. I'm going to head out here. You want to say it again? S-Fan. S-Fan? Yeah. Everything. Everything is S-Fan TV. I'll follow you on Instagram. Yeah, dude, that's good. All right, thank you. All right, we'll see you, man. Bless up. I'm so glad he got it, too. Yeah, that was cool. That was a cool experience. I like that. I'm somebody who I feel like I've been very fortunate over the years to have a lot of people that are like highly, highly supportive of me when you get an opportunity. And it's just like little stuff like that, right? It's not always about the money.  It's like, he's given us entertainment, you know. We're having fun watching because of what he's doing. So it's something so easy that it's like, yeah, here, let me help you out. It's like paying it forward, you know? People subscribe to me, they donate to me, all that stuff. And when you get like little opportunities to do stuff like that, it kind of, it feels good, you know? Oh, hello. Do you want a picture? Hi. Yeah, sure. What's up? Yeah, what's up? Yo. Oh, it belongs to Eric. Oh, that's not good. Wait. Who's Eric? It's E-Rob. E-Rob, oh my gosh. Lamont, what are you doing, dude? It's too far. What? It's too far. Okay, you complain about being too far? Look at me and look at you. You're the one complaining? It means when I take one step, it's like you're taking three steps. That's not true. That's the amount of force that has to be exerted. No, because I've got so much big, strong legs. Chad, look at my quads. Oh, frick. I think I just tore my pants. I pulled my pants. I think I like popped the thread. You're joking. Oh, you see that in my underwear? I swear. I swear to rip. Maybe it was my underwear. Let's just keep walking. No, you're joking. No, I'm not picking my butt. Sorry.  Look, I'm just going to walk with my legs closed. Yo, what's up? How's it going? Can I take a picture? Yeah. Thanks so much, man. Yeah, of course, dude. We'll see you later. Yeah, you too. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. It's about to go down.

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says if one angle of a parallelogram is 24 degrees less than twice the smallest angle, find the largest angle of the parallelogram. First let's recall the fact that is the sum of the adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 degrees. This is the key idea for this question. Let's move on to the solution. Consider this A, B, C, D is a parallelogram we take let angle A be smallest angle the parallelogram A, B, C, D and we take angle A be equal to x degrees that is we have this angle is x degrees by the question we have that one angle is 24 degrees less than twice the smallest angle so we take let angle B is equal to 2x minus 24 degrees that is the angle is 24 degrees less than twice the smallest angle which is x degrees so this angle B is 2x minus 24 degrees now from the figure you can see that angle A and angle B are adjacent angles of parallelogram A, B, C, D so we have angle A plus angle B is equal to 180 degrees since the sum of adjacent angles of a parallelogram is 180 degrees now substituting the values for angle A and angle B we get x degrees plus 2x minus 24 degrees is equal to 180 degrees that is we have x degrees plus 2x degrees minus 24 degrees is equal to 180 degrees this further gives us 3x degrees is equal to 180 degrees plus 24 degrees and this is equal to 204 degrees so this means that x degrees is equal to 204 degrees upon 3 which is equal to 68 degrees now since we have taken angle A that is x degrees to be the smallest angle so obviously 2x minus 24 degrees that is angle B would be the largest angle so the largest angle as the parallelogram A, B, C, D is angle B that is 2x minus 24 degrees now putting the value for x that is 68 in this we get 2 into 68 minus 24 degrees this is equal to 136 minus 24 degrees equal to 112 degrees so we have angle B is equal to 112 degrees so our final answer is the largest angle of the parallelogram of measure 112 degrees so this completes the session hope you understood the solution for this question


When we think of the great Sphinx, we also think of the greatest enigma of our civilization with the exception of the Great Pyramid. The Sphinx is older than time itself and you have to wonder why. Just why there is very little evidence as to who built it and why. What happened to the head of the Sphinx? This is very much the subject of much debate across all culture on Earth today. No one can agree on what the originality of the Sphinx's head may have been so this leaves the door open for debate and speculative thinking all over the place, but no one has cracked it yet. The dream stele, for example, is more of a label than an actual piece of documentation. It was erected during the dynastic period when the head was transformed into the head of the pharaoh at that time right around 1400 BC, apparently coming to the prince in a dream and the stele reads. Now the statue of the very great Keppri, the Great Sphinx, rested in this place, great of fame, sacred of respect, the shade of raw resting on him. Memphis and every city on its two sides came to him. Their arms in adoration to his face bearing great offerings for his car. One of these days had happened that Prince Thotmose came traveling at the time of midday. He rested in the shadow of the great God. Sleep and dream took possession of him.  Look at me, observe me, my son Thotmose, I am your father, I shall give you the kingship upon the land before the living. Behold, my condition is like one in illness, all my limbs being ruined. The sand of the desert upon which I used to be now confronts me, and it is in order to cause that you do what is in my heart that I have waited. The Great Sphinx is a mystery. The passageways that make this monument so special are still unexplored, and the two cavities under the Sphinx are thought to hold the Great Hall of Ancient Records. The Egyptologist Salim Hassan, who excavated the Sphinx during the 1930s, believed that the Sphinx could be dated back to the first appearance of the God Atun, whose name appears in the Pyramid text, along with those of Capri and Ra. On this basis, we can consider the Sphinx as one of the oldest of the Egyptian gods, but unfortunately we are building our theory upon New Kingdom texts, which were written at a time when the Egyptians had forgotten the original traditions. Very ancient texts do exist, but with very minimal reference to the Great Sphinx, but nonetheless we may have some detail in the Colburn texts that may shed some light on the Sphinx. One passage reads, It was the men of Zador who built the Great Guardian, which ever watches, looking towards the awakening place of God. The day he comes, not its voice will be heard. The men of Zador are mentioned several times in the Colburn's book of manuscripts, described as the wise ones from the east. They are the second group of refugees to arrive in Egypt after a cataclysm had wiped out the people of Egypt and perhaps their own civilization too. Many names in the Colburn have become skewed through centuries of translating and copying. For example, the Pharaoh Akhenaten appears as Nabihaten. The vital essence Haik appears as Haku, but usually the internal constants of the word remain unchanged, so Zador could well be a skewed version of the name Poseidon. If it is, then the men of Zador came from a place the 20th century sleeping prophet psychic Edgar Cayce described as the largest island of the Atlantis archipelago. Mention psychic readings and at once you find yourself on shaky ground. But Cayce is of interest here because one of his Atlantis readings mentions not only Poseidon, but also another place named Amaki. This sounds like the name of Ramaki, which crops up several times in the Colburn. The Colburn has more to tell us about the men of Zador, it reads. This was the land from whence man came. The great one came from Ramaki and wisdom came from Zador. The people who came with Nadhai were wise in the ways of the seasons and in the wisdom of the stars. They read the book of heaven with understanding. They covered their dead with potters clay and hardened it, for it was not their custom to place their dead in boxes. We dwell in a land of three peoples, but those who came from Ramaki and Zador were fewer in numbers. It was the men of Zador who built the great guardian whichever watches, looking towards the awakening place of God. The day he comes, not its voice will be heard. When the final sentence is unpacked, something extraordinary emerges, the awakening place of God. This must refer to Ra, the Egyptian father-creator God who in his role as Sun God, sailed across the heavens during the day in his bark of millions of years, spent the night in the underworld and was reborn at dawn the next day. The day he comes not. A day when the sun did not rise would surely spell disaster for the earth, its voice will be heard. The Sphinx had a voice which would be heard when he comes not, that is when the sun did not rise. What form could this voice have taken? It sounds like an alarm of some kind. Was the Sphinx built with a censor in its eastward facing gaze so that if the sun did not rise in the east as usual, or if the sky blackened out the sun, or if the rising sun were to be outshone by a brighter light, the alarm would be triggered. A picture emerges of something that forever sits in silence, watching and waiting for a sinister sounding event to happen. The great guardian faces towards the awakening place of God eastward to where the sun rises. This is echoed in the Sphinx traditional name Horamakhet, meaning Horos in the horizon. Why would the Sphinx be called the Great Guardian? In Egyptian mythology, the Great Guardian is a jackal-headed god Anubis who, like a watchdog, guarded the entrance to the underworld, protected burial places and oversaw the weighing of the hearts of the dead. The investigative author Robert Temple believes that the Sphinx was originally carved in the form of the jackal Anubis. In the Sphinx mystery, he devotes an entire chapter to his controversial theory, saying, The first time I went to Egypt and saw the Sphinx with my own eyes, I was deeply shocked. I had always been told that the Sphinx had the body of a lion with the head of a man, and I accepted that account as being true. This was one of those disillusioning moments in my life, like realizing there is no Santa Claus when all your hopes and dreams are stripped away from you. The Sphinx was something, but it certainly wasn't a lion. Temple puts forward an interesting case for the Sphinx originally having been carved as an Egyptian jackal or, to be precise, what has been genetically identified as an African golden wolf. We will leave a link to that below in the description for you guys to go and check out for yourself. Temple points out that one of the Sphinx's many reconstructions involved filling in the once narrow dog-like body of the Sphinx to make it more massive and Leonine. He also notes that the monument's thin, smooth lion tail is made entirely of bricks with no carved stone core at all, leading him to think that the tail may not be an original feature but was added at a later period as part of a lionizing process. If there had been an original tail he writes, what we have now is largely or wholly a replacement or tail transplant. This of course is further evidence pointing to the fact that the dynastic Egyptians simply found this place as an already ancient site and transformed it to suit their own ruler's beliefs. There can't really be any other explanation. There seems little doubt that by the time of the new kingdom the Sphinx was regarded as a god of the dead and guardian of the dead. An attribution which its situation at the entrance to the necropolis rendered very suitable. The role of guardian to the underworld was held by a lion and by a jackal. If as inscriptions and folklore suggest the Sphinx was later represented as a lion then this cultural assertion only serves to accentuate its extreme age of tens of thousands of years and not that of 4500 years. Is it this just stunning? So it seems that even though there are no actual direct answers written down that tell us of actual events, there are loose part statements that we can fit into the historical timeline of the Sphinx. These ideas are the work and research of Graham Hancock and many others of which we will link below as many online sources as we possibly can for you guys to go and check out yourself. This is part one in this miniseries that we are adapting for YouTube. We hope to open up your mind up just a little bit on why we believe the great Sphinx is in fact older than time. Older than history and dating back to a time on earth which we refer to as the time of the gods. What do you guys think of this anyway? Comments below and thank you for watching.


That was better look at that long long That was a lot better Steve oh Buddy Good to see you Good man, how's everything? Yeah. Hey, hey look at this guy. Geez man What's up guys? It's Eric Johnson from Airtate throws nation in today's video We are going to go through our inside the ring edition We're gonna go look inside a training session with the Campbell brothers We got older brother Steven and younger brother Alex and Steve oh for short I've been working with him since he was a little guy and his little brother Alex I want to say he was probably about five or six years old Steve oh has made the switch from the glide to the rotational shot Very well. He's he's thrown about 1650. I want to say in college So things that we had to work on with Steve oh we have to work on we're working on the sweep leg path And how he's entering to the middle of the ring. He does some really good things We got some early drop issues He was the way he's coming around what we call as a pillar one to two as he's moving around and into the circle There's some wrong timing elements and we were trying to correct that younger brother Alex They had kind of gotten away from some of the things and that's really understandable There's so much information out there and you see this and you see that and you can't help sometimes To want to try this and try that but what happened was is Alex started to they learned something I think what it was is an interpretation of what they had picked up from another camp and a very good coach But they were talking about how to work the block arm which resulted in a in the shoulder being in the wrong place And you'll see in the videos that Alex just pulls around and he doesn't have like a really strong block now This is this is a good word of warning to everybody out there Be careful some cues that are really intended for more advanced developed throwers that requires a higher level of body Awareness and just a more intuitive response a lot of times won't work with younger throwers So during the weekend we did a lot of things and did some drills to help Alex feel how to fix that and we made some really good progress So again, both the guys again had did a very good job We're throwing well felt really confident towards the end had some nice things to say So hopefully you guys have enjoyed watching what's going on here in this video and we will see you on the next video So check it out Okay, so also you see how you're pre flexed that's called planter flexing when you push So when you start up like this, there's nothing left to push on you got a you've got a push and turn into it So it's loaded so it goes this way if it's already loaded You're gonna push and you're gonna pull around because you're gonna lose your leg hold it in that position. Okay? now wind flat wind Flat feel that that tension and then you twist the hips hips level shoulders level wind level you're in pillar six That was a little better Yep, right there That was much better. Yeah. Good. Keep it wide Yep, and then turn around Good now just remember hinge to 530 watch here come around Head. Yep hinge go Yes That was much better. Okay That was better. Look at that around For all my throwers out there and coaches, you know We the thing we talked about in the chain reaction is is the sequence of how we start And so that that has a lot to do with the whole you know action reaction And so in this part of the training we had to kind of just change up some basic little sequence things Not major changes, but just think about the flow of that start a little bit different And that's what we call our pillar one to two and this really helped Steve make some really good adjustments And then that by default started to fix the entry and allow him to load and Accelerate in in the middle of the circle through the finish and that's of course how we're gonna throw further increasing speed and Applying more power to the shot That was pretty good That's all right Okay, that was a better throw you see the alignment was real nice pop See here this this is literally how you're throwing What no no pay attention watch? Does that look right? Watch look at my upper body. Here's you create tension smash the lower body Wham right? Okay push See how you're reaching you're just doing this you're never opening your knees are supposed to open to the direction of the throw And that's how you've been throwing and now you can see how That was closer good. That's just a few But I was really trying to get you through see Steve-O you kind of pull that shoulder back, too That was the right idea That was better Steve-O Push pull your knees That's close. Here's where everybody screws up the arm is the shoulders here if I open the arm Look at the shoulder what young throwers do they start here the shoulders already open So now what he does is he pulls around? Long long That was a lot better Steve-O so that's you that's okay So here's a perfect example where I want you to pay attention that throw was so much better timing of the release was wrong and Nine times out of ten you go. Oh, you know, I missed I did and it's like no no That was that's what you want to keep repeating That was better good. I Just wanted to basically, you know, hey, it's great to see you guys you guys came from Utah I remember when Steve-O was the first time we actually trained together was when we were in California That's how long ago. It's been about seven or eight years ago is that you guys came out, right?  I've known you since you were a little guy I remember when he was really a little guy and you're thrown at the collegiate at the NAI level University of Idaho or College of Idaho, that's right. I just wanted to ask you guys how you've enjoyed the system Like what do you think about the training and what keeps you guys have come out to California? You've come out to Arizona. I've actually gone up and trained with you guys up in Utah So what keeps you guys as us being the resource and you keep coming back? I mean, I've worked with you for like eight years now and just over those eight years I've seen like in my discus. I've seen huge jumps like 15 to 25 feet a year Like I mean my freshman year in the discus was kind of hard my sophomore year I tore my Achilles and come back my junior year.  I thought I'd never reached before It's just like sometimes I veer away just because you know life gets busy sometimes and you know Slacken a little bit, but obviously we come back because we want to refine want to get better And I think that's what really what the TCR really does I think if you want to get better and make huge jumps and not only know more about the throws and the Culture, but if you want to just overall increase your knowledge about just throwing in general to become Really good athlete. I mean, this is the place to go obviously. I think what the key has been With the boys, this has been real consistent in in the messaging throwing is unlike any other sport It's very complicated. It happens really fast You practice thousands of throws to get two seconds to do your best And I think that breaking it down into a simpler system helps to refine each part of that throw And I think that's what really helped us the most Steven is a sophomore tours of Keely's the junior came back to be a state champion and I that system was a big part of Achievements in that Alex. What do you think for the short time? I've been kind of doing this I feel like I've gone a lot out of it because Like last camp I was only feeling like 70 feet and then once you just told me like the basics and how to get The hang of it. I would gain like 30 feet. I was only like a 90 foot goer in a stand So honestly, I really think this program is really beneficial and don't really help you out. Do you recommend the system? Absolutely recommend the system


Say hi to me for me. Wait, you don't think she's in danger.  It was planned I think you saw some plans for a bomb truck So that's pretty much all you That's happened. I just came across this Private army that the mayor Hired just now. Mr. Another call from doc Saber. I think his name.

Lee's out of town, who's doing your old job Me but I could always use more help You know anyone actually I do His name is Miles Morales Why does that sound familiar? His father was being honored at City Hall.  He's just Having a tough time. I Knew a boy like that once I Remember it helped to Stay busy might help him too. Here's his mom's number Thanks. I'll give her a call Hey, you haven't heard from mr. Lee. Have you know why just curious I've got a few minutes before work. I'm gonna look around see if there's anything else I can do to help you out Oh, you don't have to I Know I want to I should check out Lee's office Hanging in there. This office is locked. How do I get in there? quietly Probably a vent nobody saw that ever seen that room before Whoa, what's lines? What needs this much power? Casually working to its office. It should be right on the other side of the shrine. I expect Lee's journal take the key Key Wonder where the lock is You're not saying much Pete. What am I doing wrong? It's the ghost story Lee's father read to him About a demon that could only be mastered through balance Only balance can master the demon strength without balance the muscle will turn on anyone who attempt to control it Hmm Some kind of puzzle lock. How do you move it? Rotates L. Okay, there we go. That seems right. What are you hiding Lee? There's a flaming sword. He's giving his powers to the others How does Lee imbue these with his power? Bioelectric induction compressed phase shift. He sure is obsessed with masks Is it a Jungian thing? Like he needed to pretend to be someone else to let his darkest feelings out Pretended to be a demon until he became one of my anger Father would say I've lost the path of balance and he could never understand the only way to fight a monster Is to become one This is all about Norman Osborne Harvey in the button Thanks, ma'am six months eight months in a row. I'm up. Yeah. Yeah Welcome welcome nothing here. I didn't hear what he said here. Let me look again. We did that The folder MJ found at the auction house. This might help us figure out what Lee's plan Number one. Yeah Jurassic John you are number one. Thanks man for the bits Everybody's showing some love in the chat. Thank you, man.  Oh, I do it three times police It found this don't want to think of what could have happened. I get out there. No Okay through the floor great. Oh, okay. There we go. Do I get out of here?

Appreciate it, dude Well, I should go when will you be back when my work is done? Welcome back Thanks to Rats John for the 50 bits y'all using too many napkins What? Whoa I finally got your evidence head to the feast center in Chinatown What am I going to find a nice lady named May Parker and some really weird stuff hidden in Lee's office? But listen, he's got another attack plant where when? Still working on that, but I think he's going to use something called devil's breath Sounds destructive. What is it?  I'm holding on to it for now. I'll send copies as soon as I can Okay, we'll check his office. If the evidence stands up. I'll put out an APV MJ. Hey, just checking in. I think you'll want to hear this. Wait. Why are you whispering? Just in the middle of something How about we catch up over dinner my place? Oh Sure, I'll even cook Wait, remember how you told me about Lee's corrupting touch I think I just saw it in action Some perfectly nice homeless people just jumped me Thing is they had glowing eyes and I remembered Yuri telling me something similar about the guard who released shocker There's more but I guess we'll talk about it at dinner dinner What should I cook? That's evil pretty soon. Oh, hi doctor. How are you? Parker exciting news come by the lab like now This is my defining moment. Can't wait to show you cool I've got dinner plans. Can I come by later? Yes, I wonder if this means I have a job again. Yes, I can stop by just for a minute Hey guys bird watching I saw some pigeons over there. You can't have the ones inside feeling left out Out there below guys just like walking around patrolling. Oh, I get these other guys. It's your demon warehouse area Going down.

Whoa that range They're all danger. I Think that's everybody wait. What was the crap? How do you see the other we go a 35 hit combo? Well, I better get down there and do that Six seven eight nine forty-four sixty-two. I need I need combos Not not the snack Good. Good. Come here. No, I need to get somebody in the air before I died. Oh No, we're gonna die chat No, we're not we're gonna do this.  I Want a 35 hit combo? I Could have went in there with a ball or something, but I want the 35 hit combo Okay, that guy's safe Can't reach him that guy's safe Yep, come here you didn't hear the what okay, he's got it's safe All right, that's right. Okay, right here. I don't think we're gonna do 35 hit combo. I'm just gonna go in there and do this A Bear spread out my box a little bit. There we go And we'll take a This guy that was a bomb my dude. I didn't want that to be a thing.  Oh my goodness. I was trying to swing up there All right Waste my time doing that again. I really want to get up here Thank you. I don't think I got the combo, but whatever Where's those two bombs? Where's he at? I kind of lost the chat.  Stop as we try to press the trick button and you do the wrong thing In progress sick crime in progress Pardon me It's also a day to bow. Hi dudes Say goodnight I'm not everybody off the roof except one guy. Well, there's the one guy Oh, I thought they were enemies going Oh, no, I'm a blossom. I'm sorry. Oh god. Okay.  You just don't know it yet Keep power ready. We're doing it That ability is kind of spoiling me. Oh, give me that.  I'll be just a minute Look at all those activities. Well, it's like we're probably gonna have to do some puzzles stuff I'm gonna break my brain What's this? We really need to get better. Where did you get all this equipment called in every last favor? Look at a few loans. It's like we're starting over once again. Oh every space is back on on Lutz They bought a new round first volunteer subject Lance Corporal, Texas or Lost his arm overseas and now just wants to hug his daughter again. What this? You've been busy just getting started You know until now we've been looking at prosthetics from the wrong perspective Why restore people to what they were when we can make them better? Okay? I think that should do it


Good local time everyone. I'm really happy to be here honored to share with you some thoughts around digital social innovation in Taiwan Taiwan is around 23 million people and in the past two years and a half We've managed to counter the pandemic with no lockdowns and we countered the infodemic that this information crisis was no takedowns and What follows is about 15 minutes of slides talking about how we did that with social innovation And I will come the Q&A that goes after that So social innovation or everyone's business with everyone's help can be distilled into three pillars. That's fast, fair and fun The fast pillar contains this idea of collective intelligence On the last day of 2019 in PTT, which is the civil society equivalent of Reddit in Taiwan There's a young doctor no more pie posted this message from Dr. Lee Wenliang from Wuhan saying there's a few SARS cases Seven SARS cases in the Huanan seafood market Unlike in more anti-social corners of other social media platforms because this platform has no advertisers or shareholders This is purely for purpose people very quickly triaged the information Amplified the legitimacy of this whistleblowing and then we took action the very next day And started health inspections for all flight passengers coming in from Wuhan to Taiwan But connective intelligence is not just about people who frequent text-based bulletin board systems Rather anyone with a phone line a landline can call this toll-free number 1922 to add to the collective Intelligence instead of an answering machine someone with a lot of empathy Receives the phone and for example in 2020 April There was a young boy who calls saying hey, you're rationing out mask which is great But all I got was pink ones, which is not great. I don't want to wear pink to school Well, the very next day on the daily 2 p.m. Press conference Mr. Chen and all the medical offices were pink and Mr. Chen even said that pink panther was a childhood hero So for a couple weeks all the fashion brands were pink until they were rainbow a few months afterward And then must become something of a self expression instead of a top-down order again that adopted The mask rationing and all the mask use became much increased with this fashion self expression based fast collective intelligence Now the rationing system that we adopted for mask and for rapid tests and so on is again based on the idea of open data We update in real-time Every 30 seconds the inventory of rapid test and masking so one in all the thousands of pharmacies So that people in G zero v org of zero Community can take those real-time numbers and make hundreds and hundreds of different tours maps chat boss voice Assistance to guide people to the place where there's still mask and PPEs or rapid tests available and more importantly This allowed the data bias to be discovered very quickly because everyone has real-time visibility Into the distribution the opposition party and the journalists and so on of course they can offer their criticism But because they seed exactly a data as we do we can then say please teach us And then they make better suggestions and then we implement better distribution mechanisms again in 24 hours time So that means that we not only increase the bandwidth of democracy But also shorten the latency the time it takes from one good idea one good innovation to happen to the countrywide adoption In just 24 hours and finally to counter against not just the health but mental health hazard We rely on this idea of humor over rumor The central epidemic command center have this spoke stock named strong chai as she by you knew Whenever we see something inaccurate for example about masks containing 5g antenna or whatever We roll out even more funny memes featuring this dog So this is about physical distancing and this is about the dog putting their hands to the mouse thing Where I must to protect yourself against your own unwashed hands and because humor travels even more fast than conspiracy theories This allowed the science and clarifications to get to people and people after they left about it We'll no longer share the conspiracy theories. Now. How do we know which conspiracy theories which in? In factual ideas are being going viral. Well, we again rely on something like contact tracing So even into an encrypted systems like messenger or signal or in Taiwan's call line People can voluntarily flag incoming messages as spawn And just like flagging your incoming email as bomb this sense this kind of fingerprint of the individual message So we know exactly which viral payloads are Trending and then the fact checkers the independent journalists investigative journalists Spend their time on only the ones that are going viral and then the administration rose out again humor over rumor Memes to out meme the most viral strains of this information. So this is pre-pandemic We see a viral strain that says One million dollar fine for people who pump their hair multiple times a week and the meme that rose out Just four hours afterward says it's not true and features the head of our cabinet our premier Su Zhenchang in his youth Saying I may be bought now that I used to have hair I would not punish people with hair and a fine print that says The labeling crime is just for hair products and then a hair blower saying was the premier I say looks now saying if you put me your hair many times a week It will not damage your bank account, but it would damage your hair Or your hairstyle might become my hairstyle and a lot of people laughed about it and share it and again That this information become kind of inoculated right is it like a viral vaccine that goes viral and even for more Interference that's more tangibly from outside of our jurisdiction for example There was leading to our 2020 January presidential election a disinformation that says the Hong Kong people are not really Protesters they are being hired to kill a police to earn 20 million and so on again We did not take down anything but rather we work with the social media platforms So they carry this mandatory Notice and public notice again from the independent fact checkers We trail traced this to the Chang'an Jian weibo from the Chinese Communist Party And then we then say oh this Message it may be going viral, but actually the payload this particular mutation came from the Chang'an Jian weibo It doesn't come from Reuters which supplied a photo, but the original caption says something else entirely again Instead of taking anything down we rely on this viral inoculation to out meme and in this time Inoculate against the disinformation So to quote Dr. Tsai Ing-wen our president in her first inauguration speech in 2016 Democracy of yesterday is about showdown between opposing values But democracy nowadays must become a conversation between many diverse values So instead of showdowns, this is my office by the way in the social innovation lab We meet with all the social innovators and we just asked two questions. How quickly can we get a Rough consensus a good enough consensus given our different positions and a second question once we have the norm The rough consensus how quickly can we scale out the innovation so that it reaches everybody So for example, it used to be that people do not trust the nation's numbers about air pollution Because we only had less than 100 weather stations measuring PM 2.5 But instead of just protesting demonstrating against people demonstrated for so this is a demo with Primary schoolers and their teachers on their balconies and their schools setting up inexpensive PM 2.5 sensing stations Writing a distributed ledger is called airboxes and then instead of beating them We join them and now this form the backbone of our civil IOT system where people can make sense of the PM 2.5 level Together where the industrial areas industrial parks are taken care of by the municipalities According to the design of the social innovators every year our president Dr. Tsai Ing-wen gives five trophies out of 200 or so of those teams And so after proving their concept in a smaller jurisdiction like a town or a municipality The five winners received this trophy shape of Taiwan was a micro projector underneath that when you turn it on it Projects dr. Tsai Ing-wen giving the trophy to you basically saying it's as good as a presidential Idea platform and we will strive to make the budgets the personnel and the regulatory Adjustments needed to scale that idea from one city to the entire country within the next fiscal year And that allow all sort of data collaboratives to bloom And then we tour around Taiwan to not just introduce presidential hackathon But also meet with the local social innovators But of course there are many different stakeholders for each social innovation So we also use assistive intelligence or ai to automate this way of getting the rough consensus from the people The first time we used it on national scale was in 2015 in 2015 when uber experts came to taiwan the taxi drivers the unions And the uber company and their passengers were feeling very differently So again set up a digital public infrastructure polis Entirely free software to ask people just one question even the common facts How do you feel about people writing to work picking up strangers with a professional license and charging them for it Now all those ideas that convince people of different feelings We only hold ourselves to account to get those ideas into the agenda So you actually have to prepare something that convince people of all the four groups Who which are grouped by their sentiments So you see one sentiment from me you agree you move toward me you disagree you move away from me But you have to convince all the four groups with your own sentiments in order to get it into the agenda of regulation So again every time we see that the ideological debates are maybe just five percent But you used to take all the bandwidth in mainstream media and social media But actually most people agree with most of each other On most of the points most of the time and we surface this and then nowadays uber is a legal taxi company the q-taxi But the local churches local temples and so on can also serve the ones in need in places where uber Our existing taxi fleets wouldn't go reusing exactly the same diversified taxi regulation that we pass thanks to this crowd sourcing intelligence So the idea of social innovation is to develop measurement of progress the kpis in a way that's with the people Not just for the people and finally I like to relate to you my job description Which I wrote in 2016 when I first became digital minister I used to say that my work is under three sdg targets effective partnership reliable data and open innovation But at the time people don't memorize the sdg targets, so I translated them to poetry it goes like this When we see the internet of things let's make it the internet of beings When we see virtual reality, let's make it a shared reality when we see machine learning Let's make it collaborative learning when we see user experience Let's make it about human experience and whenever we hear that the singularity is here Well, let's always remember the plurality is here. Thank you for listening and look forward to the questions Minister Tang dear Audrey absolutely fascinating and a whole lot there to digest Who would like to pose a question to Audrey Tang? Could we have a microphone here in the front row? Thank you. Could you put your hand up again so lova finds you? Yeah, there we go Thank you so much for your insights now On the grounds of what you explained your whole philosophy and what is really done on the ground I kept on thinking about for instance the latest endeavor of mask with twitter and The democratization So if I understand well what you're doing in Taiwan It is about also controlling having an open discussion that is controlled from your ministry and And also there are also measures that of course are being put in place For the good of people Now, how do you see this democratization of such a jumbo platform? What can be the consequences of this in your opinion? Thank you. Thank you Is a very important question of our times people often ask me When we hold town halls In taiwan people don't use twitter much. So on facebook Why do we never get the kind of good enough consensus that we consistently get from polis? And my answer is always well I see facebook as the digital equivalent of the entertainment sector like a nightclub If you your mayor holds a town hall in the nightclub, it will be a smoke filled room You have to shout to get heard addictive drinks being served. Maybe not suited for people under 18 Private bouncers waiting to escort you out And so on and so all these is not conductive to a town hall discussion But it's not a function of the people it's a function of the place The place the space was set up by the advertisers and shareholders to maximize addiction and so-called engagement So I think the point here like the polis platform why we took out the reply button And allow people to focus on each other's sentiments reflecting on that instead on flamores and so on Is that because we optimize for a different kind of engagement? It's not about engagement to spend time there but about engagement to find the common grounds despite the different Positions so it all depends on what you're optimizing for now. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against the entertainment sector I'm just saying that we should also have public parks and town halls and universities and museums in the digital's place Thank you very much very interesting indeed take out the reply button to get people to listen and not simply to talk Here we have a question in the back. Please go ahead Hello, my name is Stephanie Babka. I'm a data culture lead at MEAC and um, yeah, I work Also on the topic of people and technology. That's why I really loved your last chart and most of the things you had on there Really, yeah triggered some imagination for me. So internet of beings shared reality human experience But the collaborative learning and the machine learning and then integrating people to it. I didn't really See the vision you have so I wanted to ask what what this is about Certainly for me. AI stands for assistive intelligence meaning that is a assistive technology Now I happen to have an assistive technology with me, which is this eyeglass Uh, and I wear it to to see you more clearly But it's aligned to my values meaning that I see you instead of a 20 minute pop-up advertisement That I have to wait for 20 seconds to close right which would be serving somebody else's best interest So it's aligned again. Uh, it's accountable meaning that if there's something blur if there's bias in someone I don't have to sign an NDA. I don't have to pay three million dollars in a license fee or something I can't fix it myself or take it to the local civic tech people Well, the repair people down the street to repair this eyeglass So if something that is at once aligned and accountable Then it enabled this kind of collaborative learning that we can then empower the people closest To the pain the end users should have the most freedom to innovate based on whatever the actual local need they have From the assistive intelligence any AI regime that doesn't do that would be in my book Authoritarian intelligence. I hope that answered your question All those ayes. Thank you very much. Who else has a question please Good morning. I'm Bertrando La Chapelle. I'm the chief vision officer of the data sphere initiative Just one question you mentioned enhancing and facilitating data collaboratives. Can you give more examples of Things that you've done in taiwan in that regard Yeah, definitely. So, um one thing about data collaborative is that it must serve a common purpose and I believe that in EU is now called data altruism if I'm not mistaken. So serving something that is Beneficial to the general public instead of just the private interest of the Participants in a way that doesn't encroach on the privacy So one example is this contact tracing system that we've run for around one year Until that we thought of all the alpha and delta and the first wave of omicron until the pecs lovid arrived to taiwan We use this contact tracing system Which is the data collaborative uh to shorten the time it takes to contact trace from 24 hours to 24 minutes It works like this On 7 11 or really any venue millions and millions of venues they self-service and print this random qr code And you scan it with your built-in phone no app required It triggers a sms that sends this 15 random digits to 1922 the toll-free Number for counter epidemic that I just mentioned And so what this does is that it stores in your local telecom. We have five telecoms Whatever telecom you have it stores this post-it note there for 28 days And if this venue has a outbreak then The venue learns nothing about you the venue doesn't even know your phone number And the telecom because it's a random code doesn't know which venue you've been to But these two pieces puzzled together allows the contact tracing people to send an automated notification to you So this bootstraps much more easy than bluetooth based exposure notification because it requires no bluetooth Even a flip phone you can manually tweet Those 15 digits into 1922 of course we provide reverse accountability So on this website you can authenticate using your phone and you can download in reverse audit in the past four weeks Which contact tracing which municipality out of which reason have looked at your checking code Of course, everything is deleted permanently after 28 days And so through I think the technical term is a oblivious federated storage People join this Voluntarily and people who don't want to use it of course can always revert back to pen and paper Fascinating. Thank you very much. So I have another question here in the third row Tatiana Rumeau France um, I have a question If you would replicate your progress and success in europe, let's say in france in germany What would you your What would would be the main obstacles? um The main ground on which we stand is a resilient infrastructure that offers broadband as a human rights Indeed anywhere in taiwan even tip of taiwan the yu shan or jade mountain Almost four thousand meters high your guarantee to have Some 10 megabits per second and both ways also Allowing for this kind of data collaboratives to form now if you don't it's my fault like personally my fault I've got people in quarantine places sending me emails Complaining that they're suffering from a human right violation and Within two weeks we set up a repeater tower to solve that by that time They're already out of isolation But they made a point of driving back to measure the speed test and posting on social media to help me to account So that's the first thing broadband as a human right and the second thing is the data and media competence in basic and lifelong education instead of the literacy curriculum, which we used to have in the days of televisions and radio broadcasting where people do not get to be produced us Nowadays as you have seen on the air box example Everyone who wants to learn about data stewardship and so on can actually contribute to the data So for the primary schooler who measured the weather And for the middle schoolers who fact-checked the three presidential candidates on the presidential debate platform and got They're a fact check posted on national Livestreaming tv and so on they get in power even before they turn 18 So I think the digital competence and broadband as human right will be the two pillars on which these ideas stand Thanks very much for that Who else has one final question for audrey tang? No further questions Okay, then Dear minister tang.  I think there's a great deal for all of us to learn From what you've shared with us and we're very grateful that you could join us All the best


How familiar are you with the multiples of 2 through 10? This game gives you many opportunities to build strategies to find multiples of a target number. For this game, you will need a deck of cards with kings and jacks removed. You also need at least 5 tokens per player to keep score. The object of the game is to play cards that add to a multiple of the target number. Queens represent the number 0, Aces represent the number 1. Use the numbers on the other cards as shown. Shuffle the deck, deal 5 cards to each player. Put the rest of the deck face down on the table and flip over the top card until there's a 2 or higher. The number on this card is the target number. The player to the left of the dealer plays first. On your turn, use addition and subtraction to combine your cards to make multiples of the target number. Each number may be used only once. Place one of the multiples from your hand on the table. Take a token. If you use all of the cards in your hand, take an extra token. If you cannot make any multiples of the target number, discard one card. Replace the cards you put down with the cards from the deck so that your hand has 5 cards again. Your turn ends. Play continues to the left until the entire deck is used. Now let's watch the first round play out. Do you have 5 cards? Alright, so our target number is going to be 8. So we're going to use our cards to look for multiples of 8. Do you want to go first? So if you don't have one, you just discard one.  Oh no!  Oh wait, that's not a multiple. So I'm going to play, I don't know if I have one either. I'm going to get rid of my 6. And I have the exact same thing. Alright, so which one are you going to get rid of? Same. Alright, so I'm going to play 9 and 7 to get 16. 8 times 2 is 16, so it's a multiple. So I get to take a token. Reshuffle the deck and deal 5 cards to each player. Turn up the top card to reveal the target number and the starting sum of the round. Your goal is to make multiples of the target number. On your turn, lay down a card. Add it to the previous sum. State aloud the sum of all the cards played so far, including the one you just laid down. If the sum of the played cards is a multiple of the target number, state how you know it's a multiple and take a token. Replace the card with a card from the deck. Your turn ends. Play continues to the left until each player earns 5 tokens. Now we can see how this round plays out. Time, our target number is 6. And you can only play one card at a time this round. So you can't play 2 or 3? Yeah, we can only play 1. So that makes this one a little bit harder. So I couldn't do like 3 plus 3 is 6. But you can play 6. I'll play 6 and I get 1. And so what? 6 plus 6 is 12. 12. And I'm gonna play my... Oh, and then you get to take a card after you put one down again? Yeah. And so I'm gonna play my 10. So 12 plus 10 is 22. And so I didn't make a multiple. So I don't get to take a token. Who wins? Play until each player has at least 5 tokens. Then the player with the most tokens wins. Here are some questions to think about while playing. Does 0 count as a multiple? If so, for which target number is 0 a multiple? What is the relationship between one multiple and the next two multiples? What strategies do you want to remember for the next time you play? For some more fun, try these variations. Have it both ways. Use addition and subtraction to find multiples in round 2. Some more than others. Use operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in round 1. More cards. Deal out 6, 7 or 8 cards to each player and play round 1 and 2 again. Have fun playing. Can't wait to see how many multiples you can find.


Welcome. This is Melissa Armo of Stock Swoosh, and I thought I would just review here. This was an option trade that I called yesterday, the 24th. I called a round of option trades. They were all calls. So they were basically all longs. And they're all going to work. Sometimes that is the way that it is, where everything kind of lifts at the same time. I called option calls in four trains, the spy, the queues, Google, and Apple. And they're all going to end up working. So each one was a different expiration date and price. But I just want to talk here right now. I'm going to review the one for the spy. This looks great for the first time. For the first time since February, this is just incredible here. The market actually is close to the highs all year since this drop-off. The market has failed to go anywhere at all. And we are actually finally doing it. A few minutes here under the close, we might get up to 284. Let's just see here. 283.81, we almost got there. So what a nice lift. What a nice lift. And I called this trade long after the gap up that happened yesterday, okay? So this is, so I made the call option before the open. And even though we traded down, broke the low yesterday, I still felt that the gap would work. This is what I wanted to see. This is what I've been wanting to see. And again, going all the way back. When was the last time I made a new high on the spy? A long time ago. 286.43, that was 129, January. We have been stuck in this range for almost the whole year. So this is just fantastic news. And anyways, going over the option trade. If you bought the calls in that morning, you would have paid around 150, okay? Today you would be up 250, but I'm telling you the trade looks good. This is out for an expiration day for August 3rd. So you got more than a week. Very, very exciting here to see this kind of rally. Facebook out tonight. I don't know what Facebook does, but it's hard to imagine that anything could screw this market up now. But we do have Facebook tonight. And we also have Amazon tomorrow night. So, you know, we'll see what this does. But this is a profitable trade right here. You could get out here, here. It's gonna try. Wow, it's gonna try to get over 284 here into the last 12 minutes of the day. Can you believe it? This is a good example of institutional buying, okay? That's what I saw in the gap yesterday to make this call. Now, you can day trade gaps. You can also trade options with gaps. I have the options letter. The options letter is three grand for the whole year. You get all the trades. You just get the trades emailed to you. Now, the class, you will learn how I pick these stocks, how I pick the gaps, how I pick which ones to trade. And you can day trade them in the live room. This is gonna go to 284, can you believe that? Wow. And again, I did not know what Facebook does tonight, but if this Facebook tonight gaps up, this rally will really get a lift tomorrow. So tomorrow's Thursday. Yep, here it goes. Here it goes. It's gonna, we're gonna close with the highs.  We're gonna run up into every minute into the close. Look at that. That's, here, I'm gonna blow this up here so you can see it. I mean, you can see in the daily chart, but this is here where the lift came out. There was positive news on the tires that came out. I got the alert because I'm on TV and I'm keeping up to date with all these things. 336, here it is. And look at the lift the market got. Here it goes. Look at that. Here you just saw it, see? That's exactly what I'm talking about people right there. That is institutional buying, the market's getting bought. The market's getting bought. And 284 would be the target if you could get out right here. This is, what a nice trade. So let's see what happens. Very exciting. We got some data coming out at the end of the week. Here, wow, over 22, 25, 26, 27, 28. Yep, look at this. We're gonna close right near the high. Love it. Finally a big, massive, look, we're gonna try to run up to 284.50 before the close. We got 10 more minutes, that's a long time. This is what institutional buying looks like. So what do I do? I'm looking for momentum, whether it's buying or selling. So you, the way to make money in the market as a trader is guess what? You trade momentum, okay? Trade with what's happening with the institutions. Institutions are finally, finally stepping into the market. I saw yesterday I called it. Great trade, good luck everyone. I will talk to you later.


Thank you very much. The entire IDS fraternity and also to the organizers and for the participants. Thank you so much for taking your time joining us today. This topic that I am going to present today is part of the research that I was doing with the pastures, pastoralism, resilience, and uncertainty, a project that ended recently, whereby my PhD was also part of that. So we co-authored a paper with a colleague from pastures program, Michele Nuri. And the paper is yet not published. So it's part of that discussion. And I'm linking this to the International Year of Chemolids. So happy International Year of Chemolids, whatever you are. And yeah, let's get going. Rahmah, you can move to the next slide. Yeah, because it's the year United Nations declared this year for the celebration or even acknowledging the importance of chemols in people's livelihood. So to begin with, I just want to know what comes to your mind when you hear about chemol or even chemol milk? If you can sacrifice two, three seconds and maybe put down in the chat, what comes to your mind? Like, is anything interesting, intriguing? Just note down what you see when you hear about chemol. Anyway, so please do drop that in the comment just to analyze how people know about chemol or even what they perceive of chemol. So that is it. And then chemol is a very important species. There are seven of them, seven species across the world. But in Kenya, we have this one called dromedaries. So it's really important, especially in terms of contributing to the sustainable development goals around the fight against hunger, poverty reduction, and also women empowerment. Because in the context of Kenya, where my case studies first, most of many a time, chemol milk production is managed and owned by female hiders. So it really enhances females' economic empowerment and also livelihood opportunities. And also why chemol is important, of course, it contributes to nutritional and food security. A study has shown that in Kenya, the nutritional composition of people based in pastoral area, 50% is derived from chemol milk or even chemol related materials. So it's very important in terms of contributing to food security, especially in areas where farming is not viable due to ecological condition. And recently, I know many of you have seen it maybe on TV, you've seen organization restocking chemol to pastoral in Northern Kenya, Samburu, Siolo, Marseille, because it has been identified as one species that can withstand climate change. And also it contributes to sustainable ecosystems because, for instance, compared to cow and other livestock, it produces less methane, which contributes to risk gas emissions. So it's environmentally friendly. And also chemol is very important as it contributes to cultural and social values for people across the world. It is used as a form of exchange for dowry, inheritance, and also for compensation when there are crisis between communities. And also comparing chemol to, let's say, cows or even cattle or even a small dominant, it has longer lactation compared to other livestock. And because of its long, dry drought resistant trade, it can withstand water, stay without water for quite a number of days. So that is what I can tell you about chemol, but you can share what you know about chemol in charts. So in Kenya and in Africa, the chemical population is estimated to be between 32.7 million. But in Kenya, it is 4.7 million. That shows that, of course, it's not visible everywhere. We don't get to hear about chemol everywhere every day, but it is a significant number in terms of population considering how the condition in pastoral areas is variable and also harsh climatic condition. But let me take you to now chemol milk. I was in this WhatsApp group for chemol own association and then someone shared the photo on the price of chemol milk in the US. And it really surprised me because 500 ml of chemol milk was going for 21.99 USD. That is going to about 3,300 Kenyan shilling at the moment. And that is only 500 ml. And then someone visited a store in Isiolo and found that chemol milk powder, which was about 900 grams, was going for 4,700 shilling. But do you know that the price of chemol milk from the farm per liter is only 80 to 90 shilling. And to the final terminal market in the city, per liter is going for 200 shilling. And look at that price. How it is not even double or even triple. It's just so much. So the price difference from the local price to international price is very different. So this shows how chemol milk is valued outside. Rahman, you can go to the next slide. So having seen the price of the chemol, why is that so much valued? I think it has many health and therapeutic benefits, number one, because it has high content of vitamin C, vitamin A. And so it's considered like for treatment like diabetes, asthma, even eczema. So that is number one. And then many a time people with lactose intolerance problem, they can easily digest chemol milk. So it's important as such also. And also, from even practical experience without even scientific evidence, of course, even scientific evidence is there. But chemol milk is close in composition to human milk. That means even like people, children who are very much lactose intolerant or even cannot breastfeed, they can easily be substituted on chemol milk. So it shows how it is beneficial.  So what is the reason why the chemol milk marketing is expanding in Northern Kenya or even across the world, including Somalia, Ethiopia and other places including even the market in the US? So as I mentioned earlier, climate change adaptation is one of the key. Why? Because chemol is considered a resilient animal. So it has been restored to the communities and because people need to diversify their livelihood, they have to practice chemol milk marketing. And secondly, initially where this research was based, there was also support, of course, minimal, but infrastructural support, especially milk cooling plants, also training by organizations such as VSF, SNV, quite a number of them, I can't name all of them, but EU funded project USAID. So all these organizations have been supporting resilience program, especially around chemol production. So because of these and infrastructure development, there is highly, people are highly adapting to chemol marketing. And also, beside the infrastructure, the transport infrastructure, especially the motorcycles, which link chemol milk from the rural markets to centers like Oslo and even Nairobi. So this improved transport mechanism has really enhanced chemol milk marketing. And finally, because of need for diversification, especially for women and young population who cannot access livestock, but they can use livestock mints on produce to sustain their livelihood. So now, did you know that in Kenya, Kenya is one of the, it's actually world's largest chemo producer and it contributes 15% of annual milk production. Like if you remove the cow milk and other milk that are available, chemol milk is like 10%. And also recently, FAO starts ranked Kenya's milk production to 1.16 million, 5 million leases. So, but then the major problem is some 50% of this milk goes to waste because of improper handling and also like when it is rejected from the collection time and all. So now having talked about the important about chemol, so there are few challenges that chemol production entities face, especially around land use pressure because chemols have to move and because of pressures and competition from mega infrastructure, insecurities, people cannot move their animals. So it becomes really challenging. And these days, I think disease is something that is almost underscored, but it is a very, it's a very serious thing. Some of them even very mysterious, people do not know the cause. So animals just dying, suddenly having very complicated symptoms. So a lot of emerging disease and even others reappearing. So it's really problematic for chemol producers. And then of course, in development of infrastructure enhances chemo milk marketing, but that is like 0.1% So there's a lot of limitation in terms of cooling and handling facilities, even road infrastructure. Sometimes when there is flood or when there isn't security, it's very difficult to transport milk from the farm to central market and also like weather variabilities. Like recently when the, what was it called? El Nino was anticipated, people who are trying to move their animals to highlands area. So it's very difficult to deal with these variabilities. So now having talked about chemols and the challenges and important, let me take you now to the moral economy. Rahma, you can stay on this slide as long as I talk and then I'll tell you to go to the next slide, please. So moral economy is something that has often actually been overused. It's been used in many contexts in various way. It's one of the time that can be applied in whatever situation as long as it makes sense. So the writer or even the scientist working on that concept. So for this purpose, I'll just take you briefly to how the concept came about and what is the theme that it summarizes. So maybe some of you know, it originated from those early essays by E.P. Thomsons trying to understand, trying to resist the capitalistic exploitation in the early centuries. So this one, they use moral economy to mobilize people so that they can resist that kind of action. They cannot lower the price of bread during that time. And also it is applied also in transnational movement and ethnic nationalism. Basically also all this is trying to bring people in the same identity together, people with the same identity together so that they can look for a particular goal or even protect particular common good. So it's all this aspect of mobilizing sense. So it is rooted in that mobilization, collective action aspect, but also moral economy is rooted in the distributive practices. Like for example, in Islam, the aspect of tax on the one wealth. Like for example, if you have wealth, livestock wealth included, there is a particular tax you pay annually. And this kind of tax is called redistributive. Like it's given to the less endowed community members. So, and it is rooted in religious norms and values. So it is kind of also moral economy, but this one is more on collective mobilization of struggles and stuff like that, but mobilization in terms of redistributing resource. Okay, bringing this moral economy concept back to the pastoral perspective, it's more on livestock transfers and redistribution, livestock transfers and distribution. But in the historic context, it was perceived to be patriarchal because it was only male who can own and have access to that animal. And they are the ones who have say and decision on who to distribute that animal to. So if you talk about like that moral economy among the women, it's mostly pictured in this aspect of rotational savings among women. In Burana, they call it Marro, whereby women can collect resources together and redistribute that resources on a rotationally monthly or even weekly basis. So that is the tenant of moral economy. Next slide, please. So for my PhD because I was looking at the moral economy and how it changed from 1975 to 2020, the 45 year changes, I was looking at how that changed and building on all these resources about moral economy, going back to historic time, I defined it as a set of traditional as well as recently created network of relation centered on collective and redistributive transfer of values, pairs and some form of solidarity to help people survive everyday crisis. So for me, basically it is to survive no matter what means, is it about with distribution with, you know, labor sharing and this kind of stuff. So for that purpose, we have, I had a pipe practices of moral economy. And number one is what we call normative distribution. These ones are the moral economy practices that is embedded in society's norms and cultures and values. Like for example, the one I said among the Burana community, like they redistribute livestock when someone is affected by drought or even calamities. So that is embedded within the norms and values of the community. But also there is moral economy through comradeship and collaboration. And in this case, this moral economy is not necessarily rooted within the norms and values of the community. But because people need to capitalize on their labor relationships, on their resources, sometimes even you need to bond with people so that you can access secure grazing land. So this kind of relationship, we call it moral economy through comradeship. And then there's also the third one, the moral economy through diversification. This one not necessarily diversifying into economies, but the most important thing is the non-economic aspect of diversification. For example, how can the resources that is diversified redistributed access? And also who has the power to decide on which economy to diversify? So all these things, it takes power relationships within the household to decide to send children to school, to send a woman to market to sell meal, to send the man to herd the animal. So it is within this family circle negotiation that communities are able to diversify and we categorize this as a form of moral economy. And then before last one, it is the institutional and it's moral economy. As you know, pastoral areas have been interacting with agencies like states, development agencies, religion, because many of these pastoral communities initially had their own customary practices, but now because the state is moving closer to them, the religion like Islam or even any other religion is going closer to them. So they have to adapt to this changing dynamic. So what's happened is there are nomative practices are becoming institutionalized. I can give you an example for instance, the case of Harambe. Harambe has a root in political move like social pulling together. Pastoral communities now are highly practicing this aspect of Harambe because they are no longer so much embedded in redistributing livestock, but they are so much practicing redistributing cash or even supporting people to go to school and stuff like that. And also like Zakat, one of the institutional support is also being practiced like annually you see people giving hayfares and camels and small ruminant to their hard men and stuff like that. So finally, there is the component of moral economy where we define it as collective defense whereby pastoralists can band together to respond to crisis or even to collectively make voice for a particular thing that they want to achieve. So we can go to the next slide. Okay, now that we know what moral economy is and how it is categorized within pastoral communities, let us now tie this to camel milk marketing. And for this purpose, I use the case of Anolei. Anolei is a women-owned camel milk cooperative based in Isiolo. It was established in the 1990s and then it started with about, I think, nine people and to date, they're about 90 plus people who are members. So some members coming and go. So you see how it has transformed throughout this. It was established as a cooperative in 2010. So now in a nutshell, this is how Anolei Cooperative works. So membership, as I said, it's by women and they have a main manager and also technicians who are helping within the cooperative. And then there is the milk source whereby it's located in a very interland, very rural remote place area. And this one is now the hardest or even sometimes the members themselves have camels. So, and then the milk is taken from that rural place to what rural border, border, border, border is a motorcycle transport within Kenya. So there's special border, border within the rural context who collect milk from the farm and bring it to the Central Tamak Collection Center. And still remember, this is in rural place which has not yet come to Central Market in Isiolo. Once it is collected in now, like in Central Collection in rural area, it is taken by another border, border team. That is now the Tamak or even the other part of the journey. They take it and now bring it to milk processing centralized places. And in this case, Isiolo Central whereby Anole have their cooling plants. So they do, they test the milk, they test for water content, germs and stuff like that and some milk are rejected. That is why I was saying there is 50% wastage many a time because some milk is rejected, some is contaminated. So once the milk is now processed then it is transported to terminal market in Nairobi. Initially what Anole used to have is they used to put their plastic jerkan on the roof of public buses and lorries. But these days they have refrigerated truck came to the external support that they got. And then finally the milk goes to Isli and then it is sold in market as wholesale to restaurant. And these days you find many places like camel milk tea, camel meat soup on so many camel related products, camel yoghurt, camel cheese, camel sausage, all stuff like that. And then finally the payment mostly is done by cash and also in PESA because the most interesting part is those people who are based in a very, very remote farm the camel farm and those based in Isiolo and those now taking milk in Nairobi some of them have never met but they just send the money through in PESA they send the milk. So it is a transaction that goes on without people meeting and then it is a very dynamic and reliable system of marketing compared to this demand supply-led market. So these entities, these people ensure that the milk is supplied even in difficult time even if there is insecurity they have to make ways of maneuvering through to deliver this milk. And this is the backbone of this economy that is all often not given consideration. Please go to the next slide. Okay, now let me tie the three together. Now the moral economy, we understand what moral economy is and then we go to know the cooperation of camel milk marketing because of Anolei. But now what traits does that camel milk marketing entity have in terms of moral economy? I'll take you back to the slide. If you remember, I was talking about the moral economy through identities and collective struggle. This membership, the membership like yeah, just continue on that slide. Yeah, let's stay here. So you see the foundation of moral economy it's about collective action it's about mobilization of people to resist negative thing but also it's about protecting common goods but also this women group who are coming together sometimes perceived women are perceived to be vulnerable because they don't have access to life. But now despite that difficulties they bond together they form women group or even that entity. And then they respond to crisis in terms of getting economic autonomy they have access to resources so that they can run their families. That membership itself shows a certain trait of moral economy. And then in terms of identity what even ties this group is so many complex identities apart from being women like there are also that clan interaction like women from the same clan so I am in this group so I tend to influence women from another my clan so and then religion also most of them they are Muslims and then some of them get to know of this entity through family network, kinship, ed stuff like that. So it is a very fluid identities and of course there are negative and positive aspect of it in terms of who is included, who is excluded but the thing is that gives them identity and make them even like consider it's not just the economic gain but the aspect of social gain because this person comes from my family my kinship, my lineage or my agement then we have to bond together to do this business together. And then thirdly aspect of labour organization this chemical marketing many a time gets attention because it's important thing is nutritious but then deep down the hinterland what happened is like from the milking milk is smoked traditionally by different harps and then levelling of the jerican they have this plastic jerican then transported from different cooling until marketing. Do you think all these things is happening in vacuum? No, what happens is this labour is really is facilitated by different forms of communication like you have to be reliable you have to be timely you have to adhere to certain rules you have to make sure that the milk is not contaminated and this labour organization people have overcome the barriers by building trust and also establishing different norms and values that guide their relationship. And then I know critics of moral economy like there is the aspect of individual and collective action the business is individual business but what makes it morally, economically viable is the aspect of collectiveness, solidarity and flexible perspective. Let's say if there is crisis like there is insecurity within the milk transport route what happens? They have to communicate they have to look for a means of hiring a van or something so that the milk can be brought together to see that togetherness these people do not like they are hauled by this aspect of being together and showing solidarity in short term and also beyond economic gain especially the women like they have the monthly contribution whereby they support the sick among them they support the needy among them to take their children to school so it's the social aspect that comes out of this other individually driven business and finally maybe you can also put in the chart here what are the limits of this moral economy who is included and who is excluded? That's a challenging thing because as I said sometimes it is rooted in clan family stuff like that but also it's free for people, other people to join but then one thing I forgot to mention is among this women group who are forming this cooperative they are widows, they are like widows they are divorces all kind of vulnerable women so it's a aspect of building solidarity within themselves so let's go to the next slide. Ahira try to move faster, the time has come. I don't have the slide. Okay. Yeah, so just this is the second last slide so why seeing chemical milk marketing through moral economy is important? Number one, many studies that which amazing studies that has been happening is mostly looking at value chain, microbial content of chemical milk marketing, economic return, et cetera, et cetera but the moral economy perspective brings out the hidden adaptive capacities of local agents and network to respond to social, political and ecological uncertainties in milk production because of course market is important the nutrient content of chemical milk is important but these adaptive capacities of individual is what makes pastoral livelihood resilience and it is these people who many a time are not recognized and even acknowledge for resilience building purposes in pastoral areas and also as I mentioned earlier diverse network within this network connect urban and rural places and also support livelihood of marginal groups especially the women and young by creating employment opportunities and also generating income but also there is policy dilemma here like this informal network and arrangement is very vibrant dynamic and helpful but then we have this external intervention that come with fixed market places fixed infrastructure making people follow rules and regulations very formalized so how can the trade off between these two can be balanced so it's a question that we need to think about and maybe come together again to discuss the answer final slide please okay now to summarize you've seen how chemo is important the challenges that it has and then the moral economy behind the commoditization of this amazing product so how can chemical milk marketing and chemical production be supported to get value for its global outlook I think we can contribute to this debate by putting our notes in the chat but I have four takeaway points number one is taking the moral economy line seriously we need to go beyond the market infrastructure or the cooling plant and recognize the importance of flexibility of these agents involved in chemical milk marketing secondly, I think there is significant need for infrastructure support especially cooling plants and also transport and I mean in terms of even facilitating transportation between these places and then thirdly, resource allocation especially the national government county government and international they really need to rethink how the budget and resources are located for chemical production because you've seen the value of this animal even internationally and finally, there is high need for investment in chemical health, vaccination, disease control and stuff like that because of course people also need knowledge on how to manage this animal because many agencies are talking this past release of this animal so know how and also investment in disease is very important yeah, that is from my end thank you very much


But I am going to talk a little bit about social media, and mostly just Twitter. And I'm going to use a little example of what we had done at the co-team, as well as what I personally do to try to provide some interesting content. So the next slide is going to be a meme that Amanda Katana and I came up with. We were sitting around talking about Fight Club. Boy, that was a long 30 seconds. So we were talking about Fight Club. She was talking about Fight Club. I wasn't, because I haven't seen the movie. But we're coming up with the number one rule in open source marketing, is that you have to participate in the community. And we started talking about what was really making our team successful, or what was making anybody successful. Why any of us know the people that are here is because one, we're here and we're out here talking to people, and that we are participating and we're a member in the community. And that is probably, if you do anything, is you know who your influencers are, and you share their content and you participate in the community. The second thing is the good tenants of open source. Well, we made some goals. One is because it helps us stay focused, doing the things that are the right things, and actually the thing that a lot of us strive for is that we really want to work less. So we do follow the good tenants of open source as we all should when we're sharing content in this community, and that's transparency and openness, and that as a group we really can produce some better content. So that kind of flows into our goals in the code team, and my goal when I'm sharing on Twitter is that I try to do about 50% engagement, which means that I'm finding content that somebody else has shared, and there's an alien back there, that somebody else has shared, and try to retweet, see here, I'll turn around, try to retweet that content. And then the rest of it is I find interesting things that people say, like I'm going to look for that alien picture later, and then I'm going to reshare that on Twitter. Now how many times do you tweet a day? And you can read this, like research has it all over the board. And when you read those articles, they say, if you don't do just choose whichever bullet you want on that, then you will never be successful in on Twitter. And it's just frankly not true. The magic number that I came up with for the code team was about five day times a day. For myself, I do three to five times a day. I try to be consistent any more than that, and people just kind of start shutting you off. But the number one thing is that you need to be consistent. You need to be out there doing it every day or at least a couple days a week. And that we were very community focused. I'm very community focused. I lead my content with the community. I make sure that I use their Twitter handle whenever I can. I use the hashtags like this event hashtag whenever possible, because that's the way that people are going to find your content. And that last bullet on the last slide talked about engagement. And that's what social media is about, and especially social media here in the open source community, is it's engaging with your audience. And I have a couple pictures here of some Twitter lists. And that's the code team's Twitter list. And the other is my Twitter list. They're open. Go out and find them. You know, I didn't know who the influencers were, or the people I wanted to follow, or the people that even, I think, say something interesting once in a while. I didn't know who they were when I started. So I created those lists. So go out and copy some lists. So if you're going to do this, set some goals so that you're not working too much. Know how much time you have to be doing all this stuff. Share community content. And Twitter is the easiest way in this community to get started and have your voice being heard. So just spend a little bit of time getting a profile picture and a decent Twitter description. And you'll be good. That's it.
