Howdy how's it going? My name's Davy Chappy, and I hope you have spatial awareness because the Outer Gods of D&D have touched our little homeplane with not one, not two, but three full books to kickstart the 5e introduction to Spelljammer. I'm gonna talk about the first home in this threesome, The Astral Adventurer's Guide, and I'll spend next week's video spacewalking you through the full campaign adventure, Light of Xarixis. As always, keep in mind that the majority of this is just my opinion, so if Space Pirate D&D is somehow not the coolest experience that you've never asked for, feel free to play your games however you want. But with that out of the way, let's begin. So let's start with the stars of this spacebook, the new races and backgrounds that everybody has been excited for since Spelljammer was first announced. You got your obligatory elves that show up even when they're not invited, short-stack warforged replacements, oozes, hippos, terrifying monster bugs from beyond the void, and monkey men. Each race comes with the ASIs filed off because Tasha's word is law, and they all follow the theme of Space Pirate, so you can play as the space captain that heavily influenced your formative years. Of course, we have to start off with the elf, because if we spend more than 10 minutes not including them in conversation, trees will start appearing in my driveway, and I won't get any toys for Christmas. Astral Elves start off similar to their brethren. You got Dark Vision, Keen Senses, Faea Ancestry, and a trace that is almost the same, but it gives you a new proficiency every time you use it, because wizards only just now started putting stats on the whole shared lives part of the Elven reincarnation gimmick. Beyond that, Astral Elves also get some new star-shaped bells and whistles in the form of light-based cantrips, and a Misty Step ability that behaves just like Misty Step but is not considered a spell and it scales off of your PB, meaning that not only will you be saving on spell slots, but whenever you press your porf button, you still get the opportunity to cast a leveled spell before or after, which adds a layer of flexibility that the Eladrin will talk about in therapy. Every time they make a new elf, it's always a better elf than what came before it, so if 5E goes on for any longer, you can expect to play elves that come stocked with the level 10 spells at the start of the game. For those of you who bought Eberron for the races, but only ever wanted to use the Warforged, you have finally been targeted with a new and improved incarnation of steel soldiers in the autonome. A race of sentient steel boys who were created by the rockin' stoners to fulfill all sorts of tasks and absolutely not gain sentience. Unfortunately, rocknomes die sometimes, and the robot counterparts are often left dealing with that problem by considering their place in the universe and deciding to fly into space. As a Warforged counterpart, autonomes carry a lot of the same gimmicks. You don't need to breathe, eat, sleep, you're resistant to poison and poison effects, you can stop moving for 6 hours and nobody can tell if you're sleeping or just staring, and you get two free proficiencies, but they don't have to specifically be one skill or one tool.  Finally, instead of a flat plus 1 to armor, autonomes can make their base AC 13 plus dex if they don't put any armor on, and they can add a d4 to any attack roll, ability check, or saving throw based on their provisions bonus. Ultimately, the autonome is just a better Warforged. You basically get all of the Warforged abilities and then some, with the only potential gripe being that you're forced into a small size, but it doesn't even affect your speed. I know that I personally will just choose not to see the size requirement, and I'll allow any Warforged aficionados to shape the filing numbers off of the autonome so that they can finally play the Ironman that they've always wanted. One of the things that I did not expect when I took my spectral rocket ship into space was a semi-aquatic mammal with a gat and a British accent, but the gif are here to steal your spice and colonize the astral sea so I say teleho. Being a gif opens your mind to the astral spark, giving you a pseudo fury of the small that deals force damage and may as well be called fury of the big because size doesn't matter. They also get an improved version of powerful build that supplies them with constant strength check and strength save advantage, as well as the normal please forget that this used to be a large race mechanic. Finally, all gif are born with an evolutionary understanding of how guns ought to work, giving them proficiency with all firearms, ignoring the loading property, and letting them snipe from long range with no penalty. If this sounds familiar, that's because it's just the gunner fee, with the best part of sharpshooter tacked on. Except for the part where gunners can ignore disadvantage at 5 feet away, which kind of makes it impossible for gif to gain this benefit, since you're obviously not going to take the gunner fee if you already have most of it. Granted, plenty of DMs forget that this rule exists anyway, so as long as they're distracted by your second amendment, you should have no problems. In case you play the gif on a normal adventure, I should also add that gif have a swimming speed equal to their walking speed, but please do not use that as an excuse to jump into open space because your natural aquatic nature will not make your screams any more audible. This next race is the result of crossbreeding between sea scallywags and monkey. Hado Z are a race with a name that will irritate any DM and carry skills that match the name. First things first, like any monkey, you can be big or small, you have a climbing speed, and you can use a bonus action to use your feet as a way of manipulating small objects. And like substantially fewer monkeys, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 plus pb to tank slash avoid incoming damage. They also have no fear of heights, using their reaction and big leathery skin wings to glide across the air and land as a reaction for zero damage. When I say that the DM will get annoyed with this race, what I mean is that all of their abilities are made with unoreversed cards in mind. As long as they're not caught without a reaction, they can say no to fall damage, they can say no to normal damage, they can pick shit up even when their hands are tied, and the glide mechanic will force DMs into the terrible position of either doing math or just getting confused and saying sure, your jump works, I guess.  Have you ever wanted to play as an early 2000s Nickelodeon mascot? Well, now you can get prime for slime time as the premier primordial soup of space and sea, the plasmoid. This Pikmin Energizer exists as both the facsimile of the vague humanoid shape and also as a sentient ball of slime.   They also have dark vision and can hold their breath for an hour, which confuses me in the very simple matter that they don't have mouths or visible orifices. I can tell that the dev team was having fun with plasmoid because it really got front-loaded with crazy abilities and gimmicks, and as a person who was desperately hoping that the plasmoid didn't get cut between you ate a book, I could not be happier. And when I finally stepped down as an internet funny man, I intend to enjoy the remainder of my days as a slime rancher. And finally, we come to the other most creative creature of 5e, the three queen, a race of spacefaring insects that have a penchant for bugging around. Like other races in this book, they can be medium or small, and they get darkness so that they can look out into the black vastness of space. But beyond that, they get a natural armor of 13 plus decks, they have advantage on stealth, and while they can't speak anything but three queen, they have the incredible ability to just stare at somebody until that person starts hearing bug noises in their brain that resemble human speech. This telepathy ability is universal, as long as you have language, you can understand the three queen, which means that wizards and scholars who dedicated their lives to language can get fucked. Lastly, like all insects, three queen have six limbs instead of the normie four.   Beyond the races, this book also has two backgrounds revolving around the cult of space and being a typical astral pirate. While I don't think that backgrounds are normally anything to write home about, what's important about these backgrounds is that they went down the same route as Strixhaven. That space religion gives you access to the clerical magic initiate feat at level 1, and choosing to be a star pirate gives you the tough feat, which means, and I may be jumping the gun here, 5e is going to be releasing more backgrounds with feats attached to them as a way of retroactively giving people level 1 feats, and I could not be more happy. I've been using level 1 feats as a homebrew rule ever since I was introduced to the concept, and I never looked back. It's practically unspoken by now that 5e games do that. Backgrounds have always been nice, flavorful ways of helping new players get into the roleplaying scene, and their features are neat, but ultimately a little pointless, and if I even remember that I have them, I only end up using the gimmick once or twice in a campaign. But if the real advantage of taking a specific background was that it came with a free feat, then suddenly, both of these ideas are combined into one interesting choice that you make at character creation. I personally still plan on letting people pick whatever feat they want if they decided that the provided background feat isn't their cup of tea, but I like that the precedent is there. Overall, I think I say this too much, but 5e has stepped up its game with these new races. They're all so off the wall and weird, and I can't wait to see how they perform in an actual campaign. Luckily for me, this massive box set has an adventure included, so I'll be tackling that next time I'm on your device. Until then, taking my advice with these races will surely make you the biggest star in space. But that would normally do it. However, this isn't a normal day. As you might have noticed, I've been working on a big video called How It Feels to Play a Barbarian. Here's a link to the trailer. It's a vignette style love letter to the class and anyone who plays it, and if it does well, then you can expect videos on the Rogue, the Bard, and further. But this project is also a massive undertaking, and so if you have the chance, you should check out my Patreon, where I've already shown off behind-the-scenes photos, videos, and snippets of the Barbarian video. And I'm going to continue with the Rogue, the Bard, etc., so if you've ever felt like supporting what I do, there has never been a better time. But yeah, Daffy out.


So the ball is moving at 10 meters per second. Alice is stationary, so the difference in velocity between the ball and her hands is 10 meters per second. So that's how fast Alice will feel the ball collide with her hands. So now let's talk about things from Bob's point of view, who is standing on the platform watching the train go by. Now Bob sees the train going by really fast. It's a bullet train traveling at 90 meters per second. So in Bob's coordinates, how fast does Bob see the ball moving and how fast does Bob see Alice moving?


Tarzan and the apes from the novel Fayette will rise burrows with Mr. James H Pierce as Tarzan and Mr. Juan burrows as Jane Porter. This is an American gold deal production coming to you over the world broadcasting system and associated station. Tarzan has rescued Jane Porter from the pirate ship and with her has returned to the jungle because he believes that her own party cannot protect her. Meanwhile, Professor Porter and his party have been overpowered by Snipes and his crew who put them to work digging for the treasure in the jungle.  Now are you ready? Hold your breath. The weird pulsating crowd of the dumb, dumb, gross lover, more friendly, more compelling as Jane and Tarzan draw closer to the ceremonial mound of the great apes through the almost impassable barrier of twisted branches and matted verdure. The cries of the great apes sound like the ominous rumbling of distant thunder. Oh, I'm almost afraid Tarzan. Jane, not afraid. I'm not afraid, not afraid, Jane. No, I can't exactly describe the feeling.  Jane, not worried.  Are we almost there? Little more. Now, go down. Jane closes her eyes as Tarzan, like a falling stone, drops through the semi-gloom of tangled violence. Jane seats herself at the base of a giant tree. Before her, the apes circle in mad confusion, pausing every few steps to beat upon the great earth and mound with their short club-like sticks. On the outer circle, chattering and shouting encouragement that she apes with their balues sway back and forth, keeping time with the uncanny rhythm. Jane watches, fascinated as Tarzan joins in the reckless abandon of the print of his ceremony. This bronze body gleaming like furnished copper, leaping higher than any. The apes then forgets all about the tarman-ganny in their strange ways as he gives them to his pent-up feelings. The weird chanting rises higher and higher. Mighty is the tribe of Karchak, is the general of their cries. Mighty are they in battle, and mighty is the whole of Tarzan. Not only Tarzan springs to the center of the drum, still spinning with almost thickening speed, the ape man beats his broad chest with clenched fists, raises his head and gives a challenging cry of a great ape. The robbing drumming stops. The victory celebration is over. Some of the apes fall where they stand, exhausted. Others amble off into the jungle. Tarzan crosses the clearing to Jane. Jane likes? Oh, I don't know. It's so weird, and so savage. Karchak apes hold dum-dum because Tarzan kills Sheeter. I understand that part of it, but it's so human in some ways, and yet so unhumanly terrifying in others. I don't know what to think of it, Tarzan. Jane, tired? Yes, I'm tired and worried. I wish I knew what had happened with Daddy. Tomorrow, go to hut again. Maybe they come back. Oh, I hope you're right, Tarzan. Now, go back to Jane. Yes. And taking Jane in his arms, Tarzan turns to the jungle trail that leads to the platform in the trees. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Darno, Philander, Francois and Clayton are digging for the treasure under the watchful eye of the pirates. Nearby stands Professor Porter, who, because of fever, has been exempted from digging. Not a very promising cross-bake, is it? If we don't find the treasure, and if we do find it, what then? Ah, dear Monsieur, I did not believe at first that Sam's was serious about making us dig, but evidently he was. This is the most preposterous nonsense.  Ah, yes, yes, Clayton. I know your feelings exactly. Indeed, I feel rather guilty about not taking my share of the digging. Now, Archimedes, you take it easy. The rest of us have strong backs. Oh, oh, well, mine's a little stiff after our strenuous exercise of today. I'm not going to put in another day like this one. I'm going to have it out with Snipes. I cannot blame you, Monsieur, but let us wait for a better opportunity. Now you will only get yourself shot. Well, I'd just as soon be shot now to wait until this pass has played itself any further. Especially if Snipes will probably shoot us under any circumstances. I'm almost inclined to side in with you, Clayton. But, Monsieur, you'll forget one thing. Getting ourselves killed will not help Memoiser Jean. Now, it's a comfort to know that she is safe in the jungle with Tarzan. But, as soon as we are out of the way, the sailors may attack Tarzan, and then Memoiser Jean's last protector will be gone. Well, any suggestions? Frankly, I can't suggest anything. It's all right. I don't blame Monsieur. He comes the farthest he can't pretend. Well, all right. And just what do you mean, Snipes? You block-seize is all I mean business, don't you? Look here, Snipes, you're wasting your time threatening us. Well, are you ready to tell me where you hid that blasted treasure? But we know nothing whatever about the treasure. Or if we did, I'd give it you to get rid of the sight of you. All right, amateur, all right. Do you really mean that we have to keep on digging? Of course I do. This fast can't go on Snipes.  Oh, can't I? And why not? It isn't reasonable. That's why... And even if we dug up a square mile around here, you have no means of knowing that the treasure is within miles of this place. Oh, child that. That treasure chest is too heavy for you blokes to have carried it very far. We didn't carry your infernal chest anywhere. Can't you get that through your...  At Kutwa, you have overlooked something, Snipes. Look up the dance, Snipes. Oh, yes? And what's that? Have you looked in the original hole where the treasure is located on the map? No, I... Well, first, remove the treasure from there and dump her into the iron hole. Ah, but is it not possible that some of your men might have been too smart for you and that they might have removed the treasure back to the original hole? Huh? No, they never had no chance. Ah, that is what you think. But if you do look... Voila! The treasure may be there. Look here, mister. If you're trying on some kind... Hey! Welcome! All right, mister. I'll look. What kind of a gag are you trying to pull on, Snipes, Dono? You know perfectly well that the treasure isn't in the original place. Quickly, mister. While Snipes is looking for the treasure, do you think we can make a break for it? Not a chance, Dono. Those two fellas, King and Wilson, that he sent to guard is a pretty villainous looking. No, Dono. It won't work. King has a grudge against us anyway. And they've both got rifles and got potters at their leisure. But I think I can work something on the guard. A little trick, Harry. Well, go ahead. But I'm not a tall sanguine. King! May I have a word with you privately? Whatever you've got to say, my pal can hear it, can he? Very well. Though I thought you might like to know it all for yourself. Well, speak up if you've got anything to say. What if I were to tell you where the treasure really is? What's that? I say, what if I were to tell you where the treasure is hidden? Would you help us to escape before Snipes has a chance to carry out his trip and kill us all when the treasure is found? Well, I... I don't know. You arrange to come and talk to us tonight after everyone is asleep. I'd be taking an awful chance. But is not the treasure worth some chance? Oh, what about Wilson? Is he in? Of course. The treasure is picking up for two minutes. Midnight then. On, on, do you? Hush. Here's Snipes. Yes. Midnight. Why don't you find Snipes? Dancing beams of silver through the lacy screen of leaves that form the jungle. Overhead, the chattering of monkeys and the screeching of parrots have given way to the groaning hum of insects and the drowsy sighing of the light breezers playing in the tree tops. Below the jungle depths resound through the distant roar of New Mother Lion, the spitting cough of Sheetor, the leopard, or the shrill trumpeting of Tantor, the elephant. Lying before the sleepy alcove, Jane and Tarzan gaze along the jungle trails. Oh, I can't sleep tonight, Tarzan. I don't know what it is. A sort of... I know this sounds silly, but I have a feeling as if something were going to happen. Tarzan not sleepy. Maybe Jane not like dum-dum. No, I wouldn't say that, Tarzan. But well, in a way, I'm sorry I went. I don't understand. No, I could scarcely expect that you would. For this is your life. It's all that you've ever known. But it was a bit disconcerting to me to be suddenly swept back thousands of years at the very dawn of humanity. To see primeval life in all its raw savagery and to see you. You are part of it. Yes, it was disconcerting and perhaps a little disillusioning. Tarzan does not understand what Jane says. I'm glad that you don't. Even if you had complete mastery of the English language, I still might not be able to make you understand. For how could you see through the eyes of a civilized girl? Especially when she's not sure that she sees clearly when she says disillusioning and perhaps means revealing. Oh Tarzan, Tarzan, you can never know how I felt seeing you dancing there with those great harriots. They are my people. Our ways are not the ways of the Tarman, Ganny. Sometimes it made me shudder to see you. That was disillusioning. And sometimes I thrilled. And that was revelation. I don't know which was stronger. Jane, sad? In a way, yes. Tarzan, sorry. It's not your fault. And nothing for you to be sorry about. You see Tarzan, there are some things that, well, no matter how much you would like to know about them, nevertheless, you're better off if you don't.  I think Jane just talked. Just talked to herself. You know you're teasing her, Jane. But I suppose it isn't quite fair of me to keep on talking about something you don't understand. Something, in fact, that I don't understand myself. Tarzan does not quite know what to make of this new attitude and not knowing how to answer the eight-man is silent. Jane gazes with unseeing eyes into the depths of the jungle.  She scarcely denies, even to herself. And try as she can. She cannot picture him in any setting other than the jungle. Her jumbled posture interrupted by a distant rumbling. Visit Tarzan. Even the lions. Everything seems to be afraid. Tarzan does not know. The eight-man steps to the edge of the platform. The roar settles into a steady, crashing, earth-shaking rumble. Tarzan! Tarzan! The fringe of trees that forms the jungle wall bends and sways, breaks and crumbles under the terrific onslaught. Tarzan's sweet pain to him is the herd of stampeding elephants precious down the narrow jungle trail. Tarzan away with them. And what of Dono and the others?


Well, the no-silicast were big believers in backups, that's for sure, and I know we've got a lot of Backblaze fans. We had Crash Plan fans, but nobody gets to be Crash Plan fans at home anymore. So I thought it would be great to talk to the people at Acronis who have a Mac client, but I assume a Windows client as well. And I'm here with Guider Magnarov, no, McDonough. Yeah. I got closer. All right. Tell us about your product here. Okay. Yeah. It's very simple. So we support Windows, Mac, iOS, Android. We also support backup for social media, Facebook and Instagram. We have one account. You backup everything to the same cloud. So iOS and Android as well. Yes. Oh, wow. Yeah. So you backup everything into the single place. And for the Mac specifically, what's important is that we can backup to multiple destination. You can have full image backup of your Mac to an external drive network device to the cloud. So you have multiple copies in multiple destinations. And also what's cool about our backup is that we are the only backup that provides also protection against ransomware. So we have a technology built based on machine learning that detects ransomware attacks on your files that can block the process that attacks your files and recover the files instantly. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to go to your backup and recover the files. We'll do it for you automatically. Well, that sounds like magic to me. I'm not sure how to tell, but you said specifically for the Mac it allows you to do all these other destinations. Is it also true for Windows? Yes. It's true for Windows. It's true for mobile device. You have also Android device. You can backup to the cloud, to local computer, or to a NAS device if you have it at home. We support Synology NAS for example. You install a small application on your NAS device and then it works as your own private cloud at home. You walk back home and your device is backed up to that NAS device. That's pretty cool. What about Drobo? Is there a Drobo app? Not yet. But we can support multiple NAS devices. We started with the most popular among our users. Sure, sure. I understand. I would probably pick Synology for that first too. So how is this licensed? So we have a few options for licensing. Most people prefer subscription. You pay us per year for one computer, it starts at $50. It comes with, yes, one computer with 250 gigabytes of cloud. And then you can add as much cloud as you need and you can go as high as you need. But also what we offer is that if you have to go to multiple computers, more than five computers, we offer a business line of product that's backed up. That is for smaller businesses or medium business enterprise businesses. We have the full product line. When you said one computer, 250 gigabytes is $50 a year? Yes. And you can go up to, let's say, $100 a year. You can get three computers or five computers. You can add one or two or three terabytes of cloud. Most of our users, they prefer to have either a smaller subscription where they keep only the most important files in the cloud or some people actually go to backup all of their computers, all of the images to the cloud Instagram. I'm kind of that big hog. I backup everything. And I've got a two terabyte drive in my Mac. So I've got more than that in a 400 gig in just my photos alone. Yeah, yeah. And we have a lot of people like that. So we have people who backup up to five terabytes to the cloud. OK. So I'm a little confused when you're adding more computers or more storage or both. Yeah. So, yeah, sorry for confusing. Maybe I should look online for the exact model. Yeah, so the model for Acronis Trumich product is that you have one, three or five computer option, and then you have subscription with different amount of cloud storage and you can add cloud storage. If you want to go above five computers, let's say you're expanding, you're using a product for a small business, home business, and you're growing and you need more computers, we have a business product so you can seamlessly upgrade to the higher tier product and you can use it for your business. That will have the special capabilities related to the business products. It will support servers, it will support business applications. That's great. That's great. So this is kind of, I'm looking at the interface. We're not going to spend a lot of time. We're not going to go through it, but he gave me a copy of the software so we can take a look at it and give it a try. If people want to learn more about Acronis, is Acronis the company and the product? Yes, it's acronis.com. We have lots of products for data protection, but you go to the website, you'll see everything you need. All right, very good. Thank you very much, Geiter. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Commanders and it fell another one for Andy I think Andy got like four or five straight those bots and it's paying off three straight hits for Andy what's this whoa it's a dual autograph both for the Nets though that's pretty sick how about a little Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson 48 out of 50 dual autograph both for the Nets so of course it was New Jersey now Brooklyn and it's William with the Nets and a couple people getting getting a couple hits all right for oh sorry Wander Franco again guys obviously you don't know what's going on with him let's say this thing was coming off but at the same time this was packed before obviously the whole thing has happened with him but like I said still nice hit like I said we don't really know what's going on but at the end of the day like I said we packed this before that so you know I know some people might feel a certain way but at the end of the day it's still probably really nice hit but that is a MLB raise Richard there you go on the cell she wasn't I don't see I don't see it looks actually fully going on yet so I said like you know we can't really say anything too much yet besides the rumors that are out there but how about a Kevin Durant for the Thunder 20 out of 25 there you go patch autograph Oklahoma City Thunder Lewis with the Thunder nice also to guys I know like with this big good express I guess there actually wasn't a full 24 cell sheet kids I think someone had kind of caught on to that so obviously there's probably a case or so out there that might not have a cell sheet to work safe but there probably was a big hit you know so just you know keep that in mind obviously but still have something what the hell is this Cart Warner 5 out of 20 that's for the Rams that's a heavy fine fine silver from impeccable and NFL Rams Rams are combo Brian Anderson last Bob Mojo one more hit guys here we go so I guess that I wouldn't doubt it actually if that wonder Frank it was actually could have been one of them somehow these are pretty big one could be definitely worthy of it the Jalen Hertz is quite there but it is a color card though hopefully there's one hiding in there but I guess that there's a chance that it could be one of those cases oh my god no it's right here it's the train whistle with an NFL shield one of one Aiden Hutchinson best for last Detroit Lions how about that that is a beaut so NFL shield autograph one-on-one Detroit Lions and that is going to the NFL Detroit Lions Lewis congrats buddy boom and again all aboard for you buddy all aboard the big hit express so I was wondering I was like man where's that train whistle at where's that train whistle and you know I'm getting a little nervous so maybe not another cell sheet but no there it is right on the top left corner so again guys again I think another really solid case I know it's tough guys I know there's plenty of you guys that either want to spot from a filler or you got in straight up and didn't get anything but obviously you know for the people that did when you do you do get a nice hit so there's a little recap there so obviously for Andy I got the box we'll shift that you to sealed we'll get that way your card but I'm very another very nice nice case and I'll drop the link in there right now it's back it's on the website already but yeah no problem in so thank you guys so much like I said big hit express number 12 is in the store and we're trying to do the same way right sell 16 straight up spots two fillers but just like most of them it seems like if you will sell the 16 spots we'll cancel one filler and we'll just have to do one filler plus another seven spots so there's the link right there I'll drop it in here in the chat obviously you have a chance to win some spots through a filler as well if you want but then I guess I definitely can run one back I mean if you guys really want to tonight but if not tomorrow for sure appreciate you guys Jaspiescasebrace.com


Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Jean-Marie Sliman, joining me today is Eddie Kilbane, CEO and co-founder of Dataplex Group. Eddie, thank you so much for joining us. How have you been in the last 18 months? I know you're in a hotel, you're traveling, which is quite a rarity nowadays. I know, it's a very, very large rarity these days. So yeah, I mean, like everybody else working from home and extremely busy because clearly the market is very point in the moment, everybody looking for more and more data center space. So we've been extremely busy looking for new locations, working with clients and customers to try and see what their next move is and try and work with them to address their demand and their growth plans that they've got. Clearly it's allowed the market and the clients to look internally what they need and where they want to go and what really the data center is going to look like now over the next 10 years. So lots of talk about sustainability, lots of talk about reducing our carbon footprint and there are things that we as a very agile company are able to work with them to achieve. So we're looking at doing that. So yeah, it's good, very positive. Positive during that very negative period, I should say. Yes, there's always a civil lining.  I don't think I've ever had the opportunity to say I've tested negative, so that's great. With a COVID test, you know. No, well, it's a weekly thing now. I didn't mind yesterday, so it's still negative. But I mean, you mentioned the next day, what the data center is going to look like in 10 years time. What will the data center of 2031 look like? And what are the construction challenges that come with it? Well, I think for us all, I mean, we've got to look at just in terms of how we're going to power the data centers. What power, what backup power are we going to have? So you're going to see a lot more gas turbines going into that gas generation down at the site, whether it's permanent in terms of because of the lack of grid capability across Europe at the moment, or whether it's just temporary backup, we're going to see a lot more gases turbines connected as opposed to the original diesel fuel. As you see more and more green hydrogen coming through, that's going to wash through with not just the generating plants, but our own on-site temperature generating plants. So we'll work with clients for that. We're working also in terms of looking at higher density racks and servers. So we've got a program working with a manufacturer and the design team in Ireland on on-chip cooling. So they're working with server manufacturers about deploying on-chip cooling pads internally. My own design team, then they're looking at the a hydrogen system inside the data hall retrofitting existing space to bring those there. So the client doesn't have to strip out the whole of their infrastructure. They can replace additional infrastructure with on-chip cooling type pipeline, etc. And then still maintain their cool systems, their airflow systems, because it has to be a combination of both. You're not going to just get everything being addressed with on-chip cooling. So you need to have some airflow as well. So it's that combination. So we've been working on that. So they're the sort of things we see densities is certainly going up in the last four years. We've seen them rise from six kilowatts to eight to now we're at 10. And we're seeing 16s now becoming quite normal. So as those densities rise, we've got to find better, more efficient systems to actually remove that heat from the data center. So heat exchangers, very close to the source of the heat. So you can start using that heat. And it's still a bit grainy how hot that's going to be. But at least it can feed into a glass house or be part of a community heat system or whatever. It can add to it or in the building itself. So it's not going to replace a whole heating systems, not at this stage, but certainly it may be in 20 years time where we see densities at 30 and 40. You may even have a greater heat source that you can do something with. So there's some of the footprints that we're taking at the moment, sorry, steps that we're taking a moment so that we can move forward and show that we're still innovating in terms of trying to reduce the footprint that we create. As a company, our focus is always on existing buildings. So we like Brownfield sites, we like existing sheds that could be repurposed, or we like old data centers that we can strip out and we can put in a new fully compliant, fully operational facility. But it's already a data center. So it's already got that footprint of the planning consent. It's already got power there. So we've got to increase the power capacity of the site. And that could be a mix of onsite generation as well as as utility grid. So as a company, that's our sort of focus. And that's where we're working with existing data center operators to see how we can take their assets. And for them as well, then they can go back internally and say that their governance in terms of handing that over to the next owner or occupier is such that it's reducing their business in terms of the carbon footprint, because a lot of these buildings have been demolished in the past. Well, that's only adding to the overall unsustainability of the planet. So they're also contributing by disposing with that asset and someone else then demolishing it. So we're trying to repurpose it and that helps them in terms of their disposals. So it's a win-win for everybody. And for the clients, it means that we can deliver product quicker to the market. We're looking at the third, the second, the top, the low end of the second tier market and the third tier markets is where we're looking at. We're looking at those next-age locations that customers are going to need, the five to 20 megawatt type footprints, all with growth potential, but they're the sort of solutions. Other things we're doing, we're working with people that are doing waste to energy plants to try and get close to them. So we can do behind the wire connections against sustainable energy, sustainable footprints. And really it is all about that. That is the biggest driver we've seen under COVID. That's the focus because it's allowed people to sit back and say, this is this has caught us all unawares, but if we need to move forward, what do we need to do? And if you look at some of the big hyperscale statements that have been made about the fact that they'd all like to be carbon neutral at 2025, 2030, and you see how many wind farms and solar plants they're buying and investing in, they're going to achieve those aims by just having their own sources of power generation. We can't do that. We're not a big enough industry to do that. Our company's to do that. So we've got to look at them. How do we also help them and work with them then to do other things? And that's really our driver. And we have a good team with a new group of very seasoned professionals who've now joined the business, and that's helping me because it's bringing new ideas and new experiences into the company. So it's a huge asset. Okay, there's quite a lot of follow-ups there. Bigging up maybe on the hyperscale is building their own renewable energy plants compared to our industry that we probably don't have the means to do it. Most companies around the world don't have the means to do it. Do you see that changing, ever changing? Because we've seen a lot of green bonds being done in the last few months, in the last two years. Is our industry going to focus more on just getting energy from the grid? Or we will get into actually building our own solar wind farms? Okay, so having just pure solar and wind and those types of renewable energies is great, but it doesn't stabilise the grid. So you're still going to need some sort of generation that's going to create the frequency the network needs to stabilise it. So I think it's going to be a combination. I think with green gas coming, a green energy gas coming through hydrogen, I think that's going to help. I think we're going to see more forms of more sustainable gas production, which will then help those generating plants. And what it do see is that the hyperscalers are so cash-rich, they don't mind spending money on things that are very far out there to do that. Certainly what we've seen from my experience in Ireland is that Amazon, Facebook, Google, they've all bought wind farms in their own name. So not just buying the capacity on it, but buying the ownership as well. So that they own that, that they'll have the right to that use then for the perpetual. They're the sort of investments those guys are making. And if you think about where they've come from, from just offering originally software services and then online services to owning the road data centres, most of those companies now are the largest owners of fibre in the world. So why do we not think that they won't and also invest in grid or in other energy sources to make sure that their business isn't interrupted and is stable. And some of the things we're seeing across Europe at the moment come to an end, because there isn't a country in Europe at the moment, apart from France possibly, with all of this nuclear energy that isn't hit by governments insisting you've got to close down coal plants, you've got to close down pea plants like in Ireland and the Boland, or you've got to start producing your reliance on fossil fuels for gas. You start going to invest in hydrogen production so that you can have that mix. They're the challenges that the grid faces. The biggest challenge the grid faces though is the age of the grid. The physical cables that leave those generating plants are at an age where the volume of power going through them today is what they were expecting in 30, 35 and much later. But the power is going through today because of the demand and that's a bigger challenge. And they're things that aren't going to be quick to fix because they're massive infrastructure projects within themselves. And we've all got to work together to help that. Yeah. I was going to ask you what would you like to see to be done in that space? Would you like governments to step in more? Would you like taxes to help, not just to increase bolsters, there isn't operators changing their consumption? What can Europe do to help solve this problem? Because not all countries have their grids controlled by the governments anyway. No, at some level, I think that there's been a lot of money invested in those there. But a lot of shareholders has taken a lot of dividends out without probably investing further. I think their time to continue the investment was completely out of tilt to what was happening with Moore's law, if nothing else, just in terms of what's happening in industry, in the world, in everything we do, whether it's car manufacturing or shipbuilding, whatever. Technologies keep changing as Moore and Moore suggest. But the grids didn't. They set and they didn't look for accelerated programs or accelerated times to replace. They didn't look at ways of burying the capers so they lasted longer. They didn't do things that were simple at the time. And governments and industry and people paid a lot of taxes back then to do it. And I think that those investments need to be looked at again and either taken off them and redistributed or new investment put into there. But I don't think the common people can pay additional taxes. And certainly it's not the data center's business to pay additional taxes because we're paying for the base load then for those generating plants to stay up. But nobody's invested in the grid because they've taken all the money and they've used it in other things. So I think there's got to be a bit of a reckoning and I think people have got to bury their heads in the sand. It isn't the data center's responsibilities to start building micro energy plants and providing island power for their own buildings or alternative power for the grid itself. That's not their job. That's generating plants and the national grids themselves. And I say that because of the recent CRU documentation or consultive process that was in Ireland recently. The same is going to happen in England and the same is going to happen in Germany just because of the demand that's being put on there. So there was going to be challenges. In the UK last year, we've seen that in 2019, we've seen the first brownheads. A brown out when a power station or a substation up in Newcastle got hit. And that's something that so something fundamentally went wrong with the grid and they're the things that worry industry and worry everybody. It couldn't have been recovered. So the grid in itself has to look at into its own business and find out what the situation is. I wouldn't suggest for a minute that it's the hyperscalers role to go and invest in those grids. But will they or can they? I'm not sure. Cool. And Eddie, if people want to learn more about data flex and what you do and hear your next wave of news stories coming out, where could they go? So we have our website clearly dataplexgroup.com. And those who know me in the industry can find me on LinkedIn. I'm always happy to share. Happy to give people my opinion and share my experiences and also to give some advice as well when people are sort of a challenge in terms of what to do next. So happy to help. The industry is great. There's some really lovely people around. Always good people to give you good solid advice. In Ireland, we've been blessed with people like Chris Maltel and Brendan Gaggin, as well as Colin himself, who gives great advice. And in the UK, we got the likes of Matt Pullin and Andrew Jay and Duncan Club there. So it's a nice association to be in. It's a vertical. It's great to be in it. There's enough room for everyone. And yeah, it's a good industry to be in. It is indeed a great industry to be in. And we all fell into it almost by mistake. Exactly. Exactly. I made a single person that has chosen the industry.

Hello everyone who is trickling back and or has been at their computer this whole time and hello live streams who are just tuning in now. I'm just getting set up for the next session, which will be a pub accessibility demonstration number one deep dive into Let me get that. Okay, it's 1145 so we'll get this going as I said welcome YouTube live streamers welcome back everyone in in the zoom. We're going to keep things taken along so this is the public accessibility demonstration for reflowable e-pubs. This is going this is a pre recorded video from Kylie of now she's one of our accessibility consultants. She's going to go through simple and complex features of the e pub of reflowable e pub. There, this video is about 28 minutes long so we that we've only got a short little bit of time for Q&A but Kai will be here for the rest of the summit don't fret so we'll be you'll be able to talk to him if you have questions or you know talked to any other accessibility consultants and testers who are around if you have questions. I'm going to get this going right now thank you so much, Kai, for making this video and let me just share that. Let me check my computer sounds good and we're getting going. Enjoy. Hi, my name is Kai and I'm an accessibility analyst for Nells. I do a lot of testing of websites ebooks and apps. And so what I'll be talking about today comes from my experience doing that work but I'll also bring in my personal experiences as a screen reader user. And then we'll be talking about reflowable e pubs. We'll be going over some of the characteristics that make them accessible, as well as things to avoid when designing them. But before we go into the details, I want to talk about a decision that all publishers and designers must make before they embark on this journey. One of them is deciding whether the e pub will be fixed or reflowable. I like to be unbiased and say that there's some advantages and disadvantages to each and both are fine but the fact is, I like reflowable e pubs a lot better. And in fact, if I see a fixed e pub, I'll avoid reading those. So why is that? Well, you may be aware that fixed they are books are often used to preserve the appearance of a print book. But what you might not be aware of is that this approach sacrifices accessibility. Reflowable e books allows users to customize font type size and color. But also from a screen reader perspective, it reads a lot better using text to speech. Let me show you why. Here I have a reflowable e pub open but I've also got a fixed e pub open as well. And we're just going to take a listen to the screen reader and see what each of them sounds like. They soon know that they will grow up and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old she was playing in the garden and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful for MRS. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, oh, I can't be remained like this forever. This was all that passed between them on the subject but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. And now here's the fixed layout. Here we go. Mini Perl was a dog of another sort who preferred sandy beaches for her comfort if a lake was inside she was on her way wagging her way into the bay. So you can tell that the fixed layout sounds a little bit choppier. Why is that? Well, the way that this is coded is using span tags around every word. And so the screen reader will display this as a word on every line. So if I go to the beginning of this section and arrow down from here. Mini Perl was a dog of another. You can tell that there's only one word per line. But if I go back to the reflowable EPUB. Thorium Peterpan Thorium. And start airing down from here. To who is the beginning of the end? Of course they lived at 14 their house number on their street and until Wendy came her mother. She was a lovely lady with a romantic mind and such a sweet. Mockingmouth romantic mind was like the tiny boxes one with the other that come from the. You can tell that I'm getting full lines of text. This is why I vastly prefer reading with reflowable EPUBs. Now some of you might be thinking some books need to be in fixed layout such as poetry. Poems can be displayed well with reflowable EPUBs. I'm going to find a poem and we'll see what that looks like and sounds like. Here we go. So you can tell that all the pauses were pretty much at the right places. This is again with a reflowable EPUB. So it's definitely possible to offer a good experience even using this layout. So next we'll be talking about navigation. The ability to navigate through EPUBs efficiently is essential for accessibility. It allows readers to find the info they need. For example, a linked table of contents and headings are common features that users will gravitate to the most so that they can find the chapters and sections they need. You saw me navigate by headings to find the poem, but I'll do it a little bit slower so you can hear what it sounds like with the screen reader. Not only did the screen reader announce the name of the section, but also level 2, level 3, level 4 headings. This is really helpful to be able to understand how the book is generally laid out. For example, major sections usually use a level 1 heading, subsections level 2, and then subsections within that section level 3 and so on. When designers use headings as styling, this throws it all off. I've seen books where it jumps from level 1 to level 6 and then back to level 4. So that's not very helpful. Also, I've seen books where they will have the chapter number as one heading and then the name of that chapter as a separate heading. And because these headings act as navigational points, I'm only able to navigate to each section when I press my keystroke to jump by heading twice. Right now, because of the way this demo book is marked up, I can press the jump to next heading command once to build a jump from the first section I'm on to the next. But when you add these extra navigational points, I'll have to press it more than once, which again is a little bit less efficient. Now with table of contents, the way to get to them is a little bit different depending on the reader that you're using. I'm using thorium, by the way, and so I can over navigation landmark list with three items list with five items navigation toggle button pressed list with six items toggle button not press table of contents. Press the table of contents. And then if I arrow it down from here. Table of contents list with seven items heading level one link cover heading level one link title page heading level one lick list of illustrations heading level one link dedication at level one link epigraph. At a level one link chapter one, the earth with six items at a level to link all children except all the list heading level one link chapter one. The earth breaks through. At a level one link epigraph heading level one link dedication at a level one link list of illustrations thorium, the or if you're talking about the list of list toggle. I can jump to the section and then I'm going to find the main content here and then I can arrow down from here and see what the content is. Now there are a lot of other elements you can use to jump to different areas of the book. A second ago I was using landmarks to try to find the start of the main content for that page. But we can also navigate by links. Diagram 2 global population of persons with disabilities long description group and long description region HTTPS slash slash star link footnote. Images. Region image alt y minus y sub region diagram 2 global population. Tables. Table with 56 rows and 6 columns row 1 through 2 column row. Etc. And one thing to point out with landmarks in particular is that there are different types of landmarks to use. For example, main content usually uses the main landmark and asides will use the complementary landmark. This is another way that users can efficiently navigate to different sections and to know how in general the book is laid out. Now links are heavily used for extended descriptions and footnotes. So I'm going to show what that sounds like here. Star link. So here let me navigate to the link. And then I'm going to click on this. Landmark star link. And when I arrow down. There is a room link star days you never once forgot to sweat our link star. Star link in England soccer was called football for short footnote. Then I can hear the footnote and then if I click on the return link separate footnote link star separate footnote link star star link. But in the back of the line of face straight on John's footer link star days you never once forgot to sweat. I'm back to where I was before. This is the same with extended descriptions and I'll demo that in a few minutes. Another thing to mention about links is that they need to be well labeled. Most little links in this demo are pretty well labeled but there's one that I think could use a different one. Landmark star link. Region diagram to global population of persons with disabilities long description group and long description link caption. Region HTTPS slash www.execlipation.com and this link would be this really long URL. It's quite a challenge to listen to the whole thing without trying to move on. And so to make this more accessible, we want to rename this URL to something like new COVID cases. Since this is a link to a map and make it so that when the screen reader user comes across it, they know what it is without having to sit through that really long link. The other reason why we want to label this properly is so that when users pull up a list of links elements list dialogue review level zero HTTPS where all these links are displayed now in a list. They can jump by first layer navigation and be able to hear what they've landed on without having to again sit through a really long link. By the way this concept of a links list can be applicable to a headings list as well. It just depends on the screen reader. Some screen readers have this feature while others might not. I would say nowadays most major screen readers do. A well designed EPUB will allow you to navigate it even though the interface of the reading app may be different. As long as the reading app is accessible and uses an accessible web view, the experience is pretty similar across a lot of popular platforms and screen readers. I want to specifically talk about the navigation because that's again really important and something that is fairly consistent. So I can jump by headings. And so on. I can also go to the table of contents. And go to the next chapter by clicking on the link. So as you can see, the power of navigation really comes from well coded reflowable EPUBs. Now the reason why I took us to the section is because I want to talk about drop caps. Drop caps are problematic for screen reader users if they are poorly implemented. One of them on this page is poorly coded because it uses a span tag which separates the first letter from the rest of the sentence. So the first word is then read incorrectly. So in the section we have the poorly coded drop cap and this is what it will sound like. Were you able to catch that? Let's listen again. My screen reader said T key. The word of course is the but because of the span tags surrounding the letter T it's putting it on a separate line. When I arrow up I landed on the line that just says T and when I arrow down I can hear the rest of the word followed by the rest of the sentence. Now one of the solutions that I've seen some publishers try to do is provide the drop cap as an image and then add alt text to that image which the alt text would just contain that letter. That still doesn't work because the screen reader will see it as a separate element and still pronounce the word incorrectly so please don't do that. There is a properly coded drop cap in the section as well and when I read it with the screen reader it will read the word correctly but I still in general don't recommend using drop caps because they can be problematic as well for readers with learning disabilities. Images can be made accessible to blind and non-vision users through image descriptions. There are two kinds alt text for simple to medium complexity and extended for complex descriptions. Here we have an image that uses a simple description. Whenever the screen reader comes across an image it will say image and read the alt text that is provided for it. So when you write your description it's generally unnecessary to say that this is an image because the screen reader already knows but what the screen reader does not know is what's contained in the image and that's where you come in. There are certain circumstances where you might want to include the word illustration or map or graph to be a little bit more specific but that's a little bit beyond the scope of this presentation. However I encourage you to check out accessible publishing.ca so that you can learn a little bit more about the details of how to write good descriptions. There's a lot of guidelines and examples that you can draw from. Now let's look at a complex description and see what that sounds like. All right here we have a complex description. This is what it'll sound like. When we go down from here we can hear the caption. Now we have a link. So notice that the alt text itself is simple but because we know that there's a lot more information that needs to be conveyed we can provide this in a longer format by offering a link when we click this link we can now tell what else is in this image that's important to convey. Here we have our caption again and then now we have a return link. When we click this we are now back to where we were before. This is a really elegant way of doing this and something that Nels has been doing for quite some time as we've been producing books with well-written image descriptions. Next let's talk about math. A lot of people think that math can be made accessible by providing alt text since a lot of equations are provided in image form. However what we recommend is MathML because it presents equations in an accessible way which means that screen readers can read the terminology using the correct terminology and it can be displayed with math notation in this case Nemeth. If components to display the math are not installed the fallback then would be alt text on the image itself and the image would of course contain the equation. So let's take a look at what this sounds like. We have the image showing the equation and it is provided as alt text. And now here's the MathML one. I expand this button. Both are technically correct but as I've mentioned MathML is preferred because there's that guarantee that the screen reader will be using the correct terminology and it will be displaying the Braille using math notation properly. Next let's talk about tables. Tables of course should be marked up semantically. This allows readers to get a spatial sense of the layout. Here we have a pretty big table. Table with 56 rows and six columns row one through two column one ranking. And because it's marked up properly I can move up down left and right and move from cell to cell. Row three one. Applicants name applicants name column two Samsung electronics code dot LTT origin origin column three Republic of Korea. Number of designs contained in published registrations 2017 column four six hundred twenty six two four five hundred seventy three three zero five six hundred eight four oh six three hundred fifty three. Because this table has headers I can tell which column the headers are associated with. Now one advantage of course of using tables is to be able to get a sense of where you are in this table. So if I move to the right and then down number of designs contained in the number of designs contained in the edge of table five five zero seven four hundred six three hundred seven zero nine three. I know that I'm down a couple of rows and have moved right a couple of columns to where I started which means that my starting point is now above where I am now into the left. You can't really get this with a list or with a description of a table. In fact I strongly discourage you not to write alt text to try to describe a table because it'll be overly verbose and no one will want to go through all that. What about graphs and maps? Well these of course can be made accessible through your text descriptions as well but we have auditory means. This technique is called sonification. For example we can display a graph using a variety of tones and notes that can be used to represent the height of bars if we're dealing with a bar graph or sine wave if we're dealing with the shape of a curve like a line graph. I have a sonified map which I want to show you now. Map showing number of active cases by location for more detail see link HTTPS slash www. This is a link that we just link out to the from the EPUB rather. HTTPS slash www.excessive publishing. And by the way this is part of our COVID project in which we provide publicly available data in accessible formats. Graphic map showing number of active cases by location. We're using SAS accelerator so I'm going to accelerate map showing number of accelerate this map. And now I can explore the points on this map. Unfortunately this recording is in mono so you're not hearing the stereo effect which is really important in sonification because that in this context gives me a general direction of where the locations of the different points are and I'm able to tell the different locations as they relate to each other. The notes also are important because I can tell the softer notes are provinces that are in front of me and the slightly harsher notes are ones that are behind me and the pitch itself indicates the distance. So in this way I'm able to get a much more spatial representation that I otherwise might not be able to get with text description alone. Images can also be represented tactically in hard copy form. These could be tactile supplements that could be included in EPUBs but what tactile graphics are are images that can be felt with the fingertips. I'm going to pull up an image and tell you what that looks like in its digital form and then I will share the hard copy version. What I have here is a map of Russian troop locations for February 2022. This is a tactile map that's been produced by the San Francisco lighthouse for the blind for the touching the news project. The PDF that I'm showing on the screen is the digital version for the Swaltouch method. Swaltouch is a really neat method where you take a specialized paper that has been coated with a proprietary formula chemical formula and when you run it through heat these little bubbles microcapsules break and cause wherever there are lines to swell up and you're then able to tactically feel these different lines. So this is how you would design a digital version that can then be run through a machine with a light source that can cause the effect that we want. Now there's also an embossed version that comes with the set of graphics. This allows users who have a braille embosser to be able to create the image themselves or to print it out themselves and that's the method that I've chosen. So I will turn off my screen share and hold up this hard copy version so you can see it. So as you can see there are dots there closely. Tiny comment. I've linked to a scan of this because it's not showing very well in the video but if you go to the chat there's a link to the scan of the printed version that he's holding there. We grouped together close enough to build the form different shapes and in this way I'm able to tell the different locations and what the different countries look like and their borders. By the way here is the print version of the print reference version where you can see all the labels as well. But basically when I look at this map I can see that they've used a different texture for the Black Sea, a solid dot for the newly arrived units, some letter abbreviations so CR for Crimea, MD for Moldova and different numbers to represent the number of troops. I can see that they've used different lines to outline the different borders so Ukraine is in the center with Crimea to the south surrounded by the Black Sea, Romania is the southwest, Belarus is to the northwest, Russia is to the northeast so I can see all that with the tactile graphic. This is of course one of the advantages of being able to display things spatially but when we compare this to auditory techniques like sonification the big advantage of tactile graphics is the ability to see the different shapes. Auditory means can provide a spatial sense of the general approximate location of things but it's very difficult to show shape and other details like that. So one thing that I do want to mention before we end the session is that in the future there are tactile dynamic displays that will be more common and instead of printing in hard copy we can display these in a digital form but it would be really nice for the time being and perhaps even in the future to be able to get an EPUB and a tactile supplement of tactile graphics as well or even 3D models. With that that's the end of this presentation and I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you very much. Thank you so much Kai. I really appreciate that video so just a quick update. This session is scheduled to go until 20 after so we've got just five minutes for questions so and then we're having a 10 minute break but definitely happy to take questions for this five minutes time and it looks like we have a raised hand. Kate go ahead. Hi can you hear me okay thank you so much Kai that was really awesome to see that demonstration and super helpful. I have tons of questions but I'll keep it short. One at the end just in terms of the accessible technologies going forward I work with an organization that works with a lot of smaller publishers and creating things like sonified versions and tactile versions of images is probably going to be beyond their own capacity in-house so I'm wondering if there are ways that publishers can create and mark up their books and images that would facilitate the process of creating those those types of formats either by accessible content production organizations or by users themselves. Yep that's a great question definitely Nels is one of the organizations you can or publishers can reach out to to ask about tactile graphics and sonification that's actually been my area of focus for some of my projects so I'm definitely happy to answer any questions after this summit but generally we're I guess we're not really expecting publishers to be able to do all this on their own so definitely working with an organization is kind of expected and in terms of making images accessible or preparing the digital versions there are guidelines there are BANA guidelines that are kind of the starting point to give people an idea of the things to consider when designing these images so I can certainly provide a link to that as well but yeah great questions thanks thank you that was an excellent question thank you Kay your names are so close one letter apart so we've got another raised hand from Lars hello Lars go ahead if you want to unmute you can ask a question hi guys hi I just wanted then this is for you Kay as well I have this thing that I never got you know around to actually starting but I have a suggestion that we start an initiative called accessibility annotations where we can crowdsource web annotations basically that you can side load with any publication to let pretty much the community help out with adding you know supplemental information categorizing or type adding types to to regions you know like aria roles to regions of content stuff so if anybody wants to hang out and speak about that sometime just give me a shout that especially goes for you Kay that was all I wanted to say thank you Lars yeah I do like that kind of idea certainly you might find some people here do we have any any more questions that would take one minute or less okay all right come on come on down I think this is a pretty straightforward question I was just hoping to to get a bit of clarification on landmarks and what exactly you look for in terms of landmarks is it just start of content in the book or is it you know all headings and subheadings or that sort of thing yeah so landmarks usually pair pretty well with headings because they're indicating the start of sections and so it's an alternative way for people to navigate because some people prefer using headings some like landmarks and then of course there there are pieces of content out there where you might not want to use a heading but you still want some sort of navigation point and so landmarks can be really helpful in that way because you still get your navigation landmark but you're also visually not showing a heading so there's kind of that motive as well thanks and I think Leah just shared a link for me to look at so kind of it's so I when I shared a link to was accessible publishing some at school because I think there is you know I'll keep it short but there's there's like aria landmarks and then there's also the landmark section in the navigation files so that's kind of a distinction as well which we're going to get into in this session right now but I think we'll probably cover it at accessible publishing school which is open to anyone and everyone so thank you so much kai that was excellent I'm so excited that we have this video now in our repertoire and we are going to take a break for 10 minutes and then we've got another exciting video so I will mute and stop my video and we'll see you back here in 10 thank you so much everyone


When you're talking about trust it's a it's a word we take for granted a lot, and it's really easy to Get into Pollyanna territory where you're like yeah, yeah, yeah, but you know nobody's really particularly trustworthy and I'm not talking about naive trust. I'm not talking about blind trust about trusting everybody Everyone knows that there are bad actors out there I'm also not really talking about Ronald Reagan's approach on this trust But verify which is how we approach the nuclear negotiations with Gorbachev and the Soviet Union There's an element of this there's an element of verification, but really I'm talking about system design and I'm talking about trusting most actors and not designing around the bad actors first, which is what we've been doing in System design in interaction design begin with a gesture of trust and then engage in thoughtful design So to draw a little contrast this is the bigger picture. I'm looking at about designing from mistrust versus designing from trust In mistrust you you build coercive systems They start to be control systems, then they become coercive systems pretty quickly you design around the bad actors first You're aiming for efficiency and scale Individualism is really important so you can personalize things for people, but you really seek control If you're designing from trust, you're looking for cooperation not coercion You design or deal with bad actors last and you deal with bad actors together The best thing you can do actually is convert a bad actor to a good actor by treating them well You're looking not for efficiency and scale, but for thriving systems Which means a whole lot of things I'll go into separately and you realize that we are interdependent that Individualism and independence might be prized as parts of the American dream and other mythology But that we are in truth all interdependent and then we cut this at great peril. In fact, you're aiming here for community not control There'll be more about design from trust in other recordings But I just wanted to head into this idea that that well You can't just trust everybody and that's completely true. You can't just trust everybody You have to be careful about how you design these sorts of systems This video is part of a bigger work on trust which is part of a larger thesis about the relationship economy I'm Jerry McCalsky.

Hey, can we do a little juke 101 for our audience that might be sort of the CNBC crowd and might not be as familiar with with a juke Can we do that? Yeah, you know, that's it. What is it do where to come from? I preach so often to the choir that I forget that But back in the day if you had a data problem if you needed to run business analytics You wrote the biggest check you could to Sun Microsystems And you bought a great big single-box central server and any money that was left over you handed to Oracle for Database Licenses and you installed that database on that box and that was where you went for data That was your temple of information, right? Spensive there's a problem with that strategy and that is Data is growing faster than computers are getting bigger now That means you can no longer in the long term have one box with all your data It just is impossible for that to stay true the curves are absolutely irrevocable, right? Data needs to be spread across many many servers This system was built by the biggest web properties on the planet who ran into that problem Maybe five years before the CNBC crowd to solve that problem So they had a lot of data Google Facebook Yahoo spread that data across many servers and built a software system that knew how to coordinate interoperate and could run Really powerful new analytics the kind of business questions you want to ask of Sensor data or long-term historical tick-level trade detail or name your large Heterogenous data source this platform was built to solve the data and analytics problems that are confronting businesses today Not the ones that were the fodder for the relational market in the 80s and the 90s now Mike what kind of companies besides say Google Facebook Twitter are using Hadoop as a gone mainstream? Yeah, we see adoption in several key verticals clusters of adoption and financial services and telecommunications in retail certainly in government applications But it's not limited to those verticals and the thing that excites me most is as a database lifer is that this is a Broad horizontal platform we see adoption in different vertical markets a wide representative sample of the technology industry a Few excuse me a few verticals are further ahead for example telco and financial services We see real clusters, but I'm convinced that we're building just as the relational vendors did in the early 80s The platform of the future for business
