I'm back! Did you miss me? You may not have noticed I was gone but I was. I was gone for like two weeks which is the longest I've ever gone without uploading a video. Hello friends! Oh hey guys, remember me? It's been a minute. Did you miss us? Because we missed you. How are we doing? Today we are going to be reviewing my 2023 reading goals, seeing whether I achieved them. Then we're going to go through some life goals for 2024 because I don't feel like I share stuff like that with you very often and I'm just feeling like I want to and then we're going to get into my reading goals for 2024 as well. Hello friends! That's what we're doing today. I feel like we need a little bit of a debrief though about why I've been gone. I have been so ill. If you remember my last video was my Christmas book haul video where I was ill. I was ill before Christmas from like the 20th of December over Christmas, you know, up until the last days of the year. Then I actually started getting better guys. I started like feeling good last three days of the year. I was like ready for 2024. First of January fell the sickest I've felt in a long time with a chest infection. I rotted in bed for five days. I'm starting to feel better now and I'm back. But yeah, this has been my day every year where we react to last years. I feel like it's a good way to bookend the year and then we'll get into what my goals are for 2024 and at the same time, 2024 I have a lot of goals and also not a lot of goals. It's a strange year and we'll get into that when we talk about 2024. But shall we just begin and react to what my reading goals were last year and see how I did? I've spoken to you all throughout the year about a lot of these reading goals. Kind of giving you updates on how they were doing, referring back to some of them. Some of them I feel like it's going to be a few I don't remember making, but like most of them I kind of kept track on throughout the year and know how well or not well I did at them. So shall we just dive into it? Get into reacting to my goals of last year. In terms of the amount of books I would like to read in 2022, I'm setting my Goodreads goal to 100 books, okay? I discovered I do not do well with negative feedback. I need positive affirmation, okay? So Goodreads ever telling me I'm one book behind schedule. I'm five books behind schedule. That does not motivate me to read more, that motivates me to read less. So I'm setting it to 100 so that it keeps telling me, oh my god you're doing so well, you're so ahead of schedule. But I would, in the back of my mind, I would really like to reach 150 books for the first time ever this year. Guys, I did it!  I did it! I achieved this reading goal last year was the first year I have ever read 150 books in a year ever. I have never read that many books in a year and it'd been my goal the previous year and I hadn't reached it. I did do what I said. I set my Goodreads goal to 100 books and then once I reached 100 I upped it to 150 because I don't want it to tell me I'm amounted books behind schedule. I haven't read anything yet this year. It's the 9th of January when I'm filming this. I haven't finished a book. I haven't even, I've read 40 pages of the book this year. So my Goodreads goal is at 100 currently and I am behind again. Which I don't like. I'm just not looking at it. But yeah, this was my biggest goal of last year. I would say it's why I set it first was to read 150 books. If we're honest, yes I was like, oh I'm setting it to 100 but the goal was for that to help me reach 150 and I'm so proud of myself. I've never read that much. Who knows if I've read that much again? I would love to. I would love to hover around 150 from now on because I feel like just even for the amount of content I want to make I kind of need to read that much but I'm so proud of myself. This was really the big goal and if I achieve this everything else is okay. I'm saying that because maybe I haven't achieved the rest of them. I read 155 actually. I overshot. I'm an overachiever. I read 155. I've read five books as fair. I feel like we can all be proud of me. Well done Megan. I mentioned series and my goal this year with series I mentioned in the series wrap up video is just to have a net negative with how many series I'm starting and finishing so just to have a net negative. Just a net negative. Just a net negative. Oh let's be realistic. I went into this goal in detail in my series review video of the year at the end of last year so I'll leave that link below if you want to go check it out. Depending on how you view it I did achieve this because what we did in that video is any books I got caught up on during the year we counted as like not currently reading so we took them off the currently reading total and I think that meant that I was on the same amount of currently reading series I was at the start of the year. So technically I kind of did do this. The rules don't apply. Even though I didn't because if we don't know a lot of books I don't account which we're into account at the start of the year. I wanted to make that change and the thing is it's gonna fudge with the numbers at some point so yeah this was a goal I was very aware of throughout the year and technically I did achieve it even though I didn't really but technically I did. I'm pretty proud of the series progress I made last year. I really did focus on making progress in series but not necessarily finishing them because the previous year when I'd had a really strict like currently reading series goal like I had to finish I didn't achieve it the year before but I was really trying to finish a lot of series. I just kept finishing the series. I only needed one book to finish. That meant there were a lot of series where I had like three books I needed to read to finish a series that were just like languishing so this year I did focus on doing more series reading that wasn't necessarily. I keep saying this year 2023. I was that kind of girl. It took me up until like 20th of January to start writing the new year when I was at school. I keep writing the old one even though I love a new year. What was I saying? Yes I made more progress in series rather than finishing them that's all we need to know. I'd say probably my biggest and most difficult reading goal coming this year is I want to get my physical TBR to under 200 books and I started 2023 on 227 currently owned physical TBR books. I started the year on 227. I demand a recount. One for Martin. Who for Martin? Would you like another recount? No. Okay here's the situation when I did my all my unread books on my TBR video I noticed that number of books I held up in that video was about 20 more than I had on my own shelf on Goodreads which is what I'd been pulling these numbers from like this is how many books are on my TBR because I thought every book was marked. I went through that video and I went and checked every book on Goodreads and I found the 20 books that had been missing so even though I'm saying is it 224 I sat the year on it was probably 20 more than that because most of the books were books that I'd got in previous years and just hadn't shelved correctly when I changed how my Goodreads were shelved. It's very complicated so I thought okay so realistically it was more like 240 I started the year on. My TBR is currently 261 yeah yeah so even though I read 150 books I bought in I mean some of the books I read last year were not books on my TBR but like how did I not make a dent in it how did I add 20 we're calling it 20 because really it was 240 in the start of last year because the maths were wrong how did I add 20 books to my TBR even though I read 155 that is obscene that is obscene yes yes a concern and a worry so yeah needless to say my TBR it's 261 currently I haven't made this a goal this year anything to do with the number of books my TBR but like let's be honest I would love to get it below 200 which I know is ridiculous I know there'll be loads of you with like four books on your TBR I'm like what is wrong with this woman but you know I don't do drugs if I want the amount of books my TBR to be my problem so be it. My final one is to read more 2023 new releases than I read in 2022 so I feel like I'm getting better of reading new releases when they come out. I read I think 33 which isn't terrible you know I read 130 books 33 of them were new releases but I would like to do more so even if it's 34 again I'm happy what I'm asking is one more okay I think I did this let me check my reading spreadsheet yes okay so in 2023 I read 37 2023 releases so it was only four more than I read in 2022 but I said I wanted to read more and I read more you know there's certain things in life where you find your level and this year I'm not gonna make this a focus I've got so many books right I've got so many books it would actually be irresponsible of me to say I want half my reading to be 2024 releases yes of course I'm gonna keep buying new releases that's what I do and I I know you guys are gonna have so many new releases throughout the year that you want to know my opinions on but I also do just want to like get through this backlist a bit right if I want to achieve my goal of getting my physical tbr down proportionately I have to get through these books which none of them bar maybe like one arc are 2024 releases so you're following the logic here the two don't go together it's oil and water so anyways I achieved this goal so I achieved really if we're being honest three out of four of my reading goals last year who is she wow go me okay I'm amazed by you let's get into 2024 goals shall we now that we've reacted to those I want to talk about my lifestyle goals to begin with because I feel like I don't share that a lot with you and I just need to talk through my year a bit I want to share more of my life with you I have this ongoing concern with YouTube which is strange that I think you guys don't care about my life and just want to hear about me review the books so I feel nervous sharing things about my life also my life isn't very interesting I do the same thing every day I spend time with my family my boyfriend and my cats I go for walks spend time with his family that is basically it I don't have a very exciting life but I do want to share more with you because when other youtubers share their you know the mundane day to day I find it interesting but anyways for me my focus I came upon this doing yoga the other day um my I think my theme for 2024 my word is cultivate right I want to cultivate the life that I want to live when I think of my dream life just in terms of my daily habits the the style of my life the attitude that I'm going through life with it is a bit different than what I have now and I want to cultivate that life but I like the word cultivate because it gives me this image of me like in a garden like cultivating this little garden in a cottage you know what I mean it's really important for me in this new year especially because I haven't had the best start to the new year right usually in the year I'm like I'm gonna have these really unrealistic goals and I feel like this the start of the year of me being ill start the year actually gave me pause and made me realize I need to give myself time to actually build that up right cultivating is not something that happens overnight right like your garden grows slowly but you've still got to turn up to water it every day and I'm not saying like I'm going to be like I have to do this and this and this and this and this habit every single day right but I have to I want to do something constantly I want to constantly have that in my mind to do something to like bring me closer to what I want to be does that make sense so there's not a rush on it everything happens slowly everything grows slowly everything has to take its time to grow but it's about turning up every day and watering the garden you know what I mean so for me my number one goal in terms of that is to start meditation as a I don't want to say daily practice but like ideally it would be a daily practice again I'm not putting pressure on myself to do something every single day I have noticed I can pinpoint the times in my life when I've had it together and they have been times and I've meditated and I want to take a moment to say a big thank you to the sponsor of today's video which is aura for me meditation really helps control my stress and anxiety I'm naturally quite a stressed and anxious person particularly when it comes to work and like productivity I was like this in school a lot I had to go to like school like therapy in school for my anxiety from when I was like 12 years old right so it's something that's followed me throughout my life and aura has really been a life-changing app for me aura is a new mindfulness and sleep app that won the best of apple award and is used by over seven million people it is a all-in-one app for your well-being and sleep it has thousands of meditations stories and so much more like CBT life coaching and breath work aura's content is created by hundreds of expert coaches and therapists throughout the world I think what has made aura really the app that has worked for me in terms of my meditation style in terms of finding something that really works for me is there is so much variation like I said there's hundreds of experts and coaches so you can really find someone with a speaking style that works for you or like a meditation pattern that works for you there's so much variation with other things I've used in the past I find it's like one style this is it but aura has so much variation option and choice so I cannot recommend it enough and you guys can get started for completely free by using my exclusive link down below the first 500 people to use this link will get a free trial and 25 off so go check out aura if you're thinking of starting these kind of practices in this new year like I am I cannot recommend enough so go check out my link down below in the description and in the pinned link down below yeah I think you should all give aura ago because it's genuinely been revolutionary for me and then my other life goal for this year is gonna be just to be more caring and also efficient with my time I think I spend far too much time scrolling through social media doom scrolling if you will and that habit has gotten worse while I've been ill I don't want to hear any goddamn excuses anymore but I feel like it's a problem I've had forever especially recently where I just feel like I feel like I have no time because I'm wasting my time on these other things and I just want to be more caring when it comes to my time I want to have more care towards the value of my time and to really value it do you know what I mean and so I guess it's a runabout way of saying I want to have less screen time and spend more time doing the things I love be that meditation be that yoga be that going for walks be that reading right I want to spend less time on the phone it's a big goal for the new year so that's kind of my life goals my big my big goal is cultivate I think cultivate is such a lovely word when you think of it I just imagine myself gardening in a little cottage garden you know I don't know if that's weird but that's kind of the approach I want to take in my life and I mentioned this at the start I think I was going to talk about this that you know I don't want to set too many goals for 2024 because it's going to be a wild year and this comes into the reading goals which we'll talk about in a second as well but it's going to be a crazy year like I am Tom and I are hoping to buy a place together in the new year which is kind of scary it's kind of scary um so that's going to be wild and that will take up a lot of our time like finding a place decorating it we're buying furniture like God you know that's the whole part of my life that I want to just I that is going to take up a lot of time and energy and I want to because it's such an exciting thing to happen but that might mean reading takes a bit of a seat for a while what have you you know and I just want to give myself the grace and time to like know that this might be a busy year for me and to not put too much pressure on myself you know so shall I just get into my reading goals of the year they're pretty much a lot of my goals that I have every year so okay my big goal my big goal this is the big goal of the year I tend to have one big goal every year and my big goal of the year is to have my best reading year ever and what I mean by this is I want to have my highest average rating of a year ever I want to read books that I love this year whoa I am crazy consistent when it comes to my average rating almost every single year that I have been reading I think every single year that I've went back and I've tracked this my average rating has been 3.7 3.7 around that it'll be 3.68 one year it'll be 3.71 another year but it's literally 3.7 almost every single year and so my goal this year is for that to be I mean let's say 3.8 or above is we're winning but ideally I'd love it to be like a four I really want to read books that I love I want to have loads of five stars I want to have loads of books that I want to share with you I want to seek out the books that I'm gonna love good luck have fun hope it works this time around and so I'm doing I'm gonna be doing a series throughout the year to kind of help this hopefully we'll see how it goes but yeah I just want to I want to have a better reading year than ever so there's not much like control over this there is element of luck to it because who knows like it is like a draw when you read a book what you're gonna rate it it's not like the series goal where like I can numerically make sure that happens I can't right but I want to do things that try to help it happen we shall see what if I end up like giving like a average rate of 3.5 this year like what if it goes the other way I'm a bit nervous that is my big reading goal of the year other goals we have some returning goals I want to read 150 books this year again I'm setting my good reads to 100 until I reach that and then we'll up it to 150 um like I said it is gonna be a busy year for me so I'm a little bit nervous about setting this goal but I think having done it once I feel like I can do it again so yeah we're setting a goal for 150 books I want to read this year I don't know why it makes me nervous but it does what is that it's like 12 books a month isn't it something like that yeah 12 and a half books a month I can do that I tend to average like 13 14 books a month now so it should be easy it shouldn't be something that's a struggle so hopefully it'll be okay then we have another goal I said this would be a goal every year to have a net negative on series this will I mean this will have to end at some point because like we can't we can't get down to zero but I am currently reading 34 series that does not include the series I am up to date with a lot of those series I will no longer be up to date with like because a lot of them have got books coming out this year so you know take that into account hopefully I can just stay up to date with them but yeah net negative in terms of series we'll see how that goes my first book of the year may be a book in a series not exactly setting myself up for success but um yeah net negative in terms of series is gonna be a goal at least for the next few years for me every year it's something I want to keep tracking I'm still going to do a few videos a year where I really try to like get some series finished um and that also is just going to be in my reading hopefully I can incorporate it more in my reading throughout the rest of the year as well then we have two genre specific goals number one is to read four classics I can do this I can do this I said this year was gonna be my classics era I can do this I'm gonna have a video series hopefully coming out once a quarter that will have me reading one classic that is totally doable that is totally totally doable why am I saying no I can't I can't I've tried it and I failed why does everyone expect it then I'm not including things like when I read acrocracy I count that as a mystery but anything else that's that old I would probably class as a classic but acrocracy I tend to not class as classics because also they're not intimidating they're they're short they're easy they're quick right classics are my brain or anything a bit more intimidating yeah we're gonna be starting this series that I've wanted to start for years to help me read more classics and I just never do it because it's not a video series I necessarily think is gonna do amazing but I just want to do it even if I only do it this year it's four videos you know big work let's get over it Megan let's do it and then I'm also setting a goal I've said this before and I never reach it but we're gonna do it this year I want to read 12 nonfiction that's one a month one a freaking month one a freaking month nonfiction I probably am not including memoir autobiography in that I will probably class that as separate in my in my spreadsheet right so we're classing am I is that fair yeah I think that's fair so we're saying nonfiction that's like anything other than memoir or autobiography I'm gonna be reading two memoirs this month and two nonfiction in January whoa but so we're only counting two of them towards the goal but yeah I've always set this goal how many did I read last year because imagine if I read more than that last year how many did I read let's have a look nonfiction oh I read five last year I read one memoir so we're talking about like doubling bloody hell I thought I would have read more than that okay yeah we're gonna try and read 12 I don't know the last time I read 12 nonfiction a year I've always said this before I sat on my channel I when I first got back in treating bear in mind this wasn't for a very long period because I kind of like got back in treating I was like I'm gonna make a youtube channel but I would read one fiction one nonfiction one fiction one nonfiction so my reading used to be 50 nonfiction and I would love to get up again because there's so much nonfiction I want to read so we just got to get into it we just got to get into it I look at so much the nonfiction my tbm I get excited so get it together 12 nonfiction we can do this then my last goal that I thought of whilst filming this video that remembered I want to do I want to for the first time ever I want to track my spending when it comes to books I want to track how much I spend on books this year why do I want to do this I don't know because I don't necessarily want to change this but I just kind of want to know I'm just intrigued I don't have to necessarily do this in the future but this year I want to track it if I only do it for a year I do it for a year but I just I'm intrigued to know do I want to know probably not but like I feel like I should know for once and for all how much should I spend on books in a year god give me strength and I'd love to know that in the future so I'm like oh the books I read this month I spent this much or whatever I don't know I don't know if that makes sense but I'm just gonna start tracking that I've never tracked it before but it's not you know if I stop I stop if I'm like that's enough of knowing that did I stop so there we have everyone that is me reacting to my 2023 reading goals and talking about what my 2024 life and reading goals are I would love to know what some of your reading goals this year are hopefully they're a bit more exciting than mine because mine are like the same as usual apart from me trying to like drastically change the average rating I'm giving to berks out of nowhere but yeah I'm so happy to be back with you guys and again make sure you check out aura down below to try out this wonderful wonderful app of mindfulness and sleep and meditation and breath work and so many amazing things I cannot recommend enough I'll leave the link down below and I hope you all have a wonderful

Today, we are checking out this super clean like new 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab 6 foot 4 inch short box. This trucker, this truck has the 3.0 O-Liter V6 eco diesel motor. From this HD video, you will be able to tell that this truck is extremely clean all the way around. Inside and out, blue streak. Pearl coat is the color we shoot all of our videos in 1080p. So if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device, turn them on right now. Because it is like you're right here looking at the truck with me. Very clean on this side. Like new has the 20 inch alloy rims with the chrome covers and it has the Goodyear Wrangler 275-60R20 tires with just about all the tread left. I'd say 95 or more percent of the tread left on these tires. So it is the two-tone paint. It's the blue streak pearl over the bright silver metallic from the front end here. You can tell that it is the Laramie package. You get the chrome trim grille, LED running lights and the projector lamp headlamps. Front sonar. No denser dings in that front bumper. Factory fog lights. The hood is absolutely perfect as well. No denser dings on that. It does come with a nice chrome bug guard on the front. Passenger side fender is absolutely perfect as well and the passenger side rim is very clean too. No scuffs or scrapes.  How clean the body is. No dense. No dings. We take these HD videos. So if you are far away, or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can still see the vehicle, hear the vehicle and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. We sell a lot of these trucks out of state. So you can have the confidence that you're dealing with the right people and the right truck. Full-length wheel-to-wheel side steps. Back rim is absolutely perfect as well. No scuffs or scrapes on that. And the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. You can see it does have the plastic wheel well liner, which helps keep your frame and under body looking like new for many years to come. It's like that all the way underneath. As we come around to the back here, you can see that the rear bumper is in excellent condition. No denser dings on that. Has a full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is in absolutely excellent condition. No denser dings on that. It does have the backup camera and the locking tailgate. You can really see that metal flake in the blue streak pearl there. If you got your 1080p on. The bed is in really nice shape. Very, very light-duty usage. No major denser dings. Has the LED bed lighting, which is a nice feature. Bed rail covers, of course. And as we go down this side of the truck, just as clean as that passenger side, no dents, no dings, no scuffs, no scrapes. Very, very nice all the way down this side, passenger side. Rear tire and rim is in excellent condition as well. And you can see just how clean those doors are. No dents, no dings on those. It does have the heated power mirrors with the built-in directional signals. Those are also power folding mirrors.  Both of these seats are heated. Both of these seats are cooled. Both of these seats are power. You get the nice white stitching and a memory driver's seat lumbar on the driver's side. Factory floor mats throughout and power windows, power locks and power mirrors.

You get the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, no rips or tears on that. Cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and Information Center controls on the left. This one comes with the 8.4 4C radio, and you get the factory navigation system on it.  Also just a little bit of redesign of the buttons and the visual aspects of it.  You can turn those off and on. 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in. And finally, if we put it in reverse here, this is where your backup camera shows up as well. You can also do your heated and cooled seat buttons right there, too. And this one does have the Alpine sound system. Passenger seat is very clean as well, no rips or tears on that. This truck has never been smoked in and has been driven locally for all 2,000 miles that it has on it. Power sliding rear window, you have your home link system up here for your garage door security systems and lighting systems, and you do get the assist and SOS buttons in the rear of your mirror.

Back seats are just as clean as the front seats. These back seats are heated.  So that's nice if you got pets, or if you got muddy boots or tools, you can put your tools and muddy boots on there and not can wreck your seats. If you got pets, they can have a nice flat place to lay, and you have storage. That's the winter front for the vehicle.

OK, next up we have Eloise Davies, so Eloise is an early career researcher in criminology and she's currently working as a research associate at Lancaster University as part of the Violet's Health and Society consortium. Hi, so I'm going to just give a quick overview of one of the pieces of work that I've been working on as part of the vision consortium so it's looking at violent crimes with more than one perpetrator. So when there's more than one assailant understanding the variation of victim's needs. Oh, yeah, it works now. So just to acknowledge our funder. So a quick background to this work, so in the crime survey for England and Wales between 2011-12 and 2019-20 more than a quarter of violent crime was perpetrated by multiple perpetrators. So where there was more than one perpetrator involved in one event of violence. So past research on crime by multiple perpetrators looks at mainly the perpetrators and not the victims. So focusing on the group composition, so the age of the group, the gender of the group and the number of perpetrators in the group. And they find that generally co-offending groups are more often same sex groups of men and they're more often younger than solo offenders. When looking at violent crime specifically there's a discussion about quantity and quality of the violence. So quantity refers to the number of violent crimes that groups of offenders commit together. And quality looks at the severity of the violence. And this research has shown that when there's more than one offender both the quantity and the quality of violence can expect to increase. So multiple perpetrator violent events, mostly on the slide there's MPVs are more often severe and more often result in injury to the victim. And this is compared to single perpetrator violent events. So given the greater severity of crimes perpetrated by multiple perpetrators we might expect that victims more often seek help from various services. And that's what I'm looking at in this paper. So previous research on co-offending usually relies on administrative data. So data from police, health services and specialist services. And one of the issues is this is that you only have data on the victims that come to the service. So I'm looking at using the crime survey for England and Wales to compare both groups of victims and just get a more comprehensive picture of which victims contact which services. So the paper at the slide say eight years, the paper actually uses nine years of crime survey data from 2011-12 to 2019-20.  So I don't include threats just because I wanted to look at victims that go to the hospital for treatment so it made sense to limit it to physical violence only. So this gave 6,838 victim forms that when weighted to the population was 7.65 million victim forms or violent events. And there were slightly more victim forms for male victims than female victims so it's 52% male and 48% female.  And of the events of multiple perpetrators, 40% had two perpetrators, 20% had three perpetrators and 40% had four or more perpetrators. So this paper has two main research questions. So what are the characteristics of victims of multiple perpetrator violent events and how does this compare to victims of single perpetrator violent events? And are victims of multiple perpetrator violent events more or less likely than victims of single perpetrator violent events to access different forms of services? So the characteristics I looked at were limited to age, sex, ethnicity of the victim and I also looked at victim-perpetrator relationship. And then the services that I looked at were victim support which is a national charity in England and Wales that provides support to victims. It's government funded and led by volunteers and they provide all sorts of services so help with accessing other organisations, help with contacting places to get compensation and other forms of support. Is that from? So the services that I looked at were victim support like I said, whether the victim reported, whether the police were made aware of the incident and whether the victim was injured and whether they ended up getting treatment in hospital. So the first table is probably quite small because I know the fonts have been a little bit. So these show the victim characteristics and compared to single perpetrator violent events and multiple perpetrator violent events. So I'll start at the top and work down. Where there's an asterisk just means that the CHI square test was significant so there's a significant difference between the two groups.  But for multiple perpetrator violent events these were majority male victims so 71%, 72% male victims and 28% female victims. And then for ethnic group it was less likely for the victim to be white so there were 13% from minority ethnic groups compared to 9% for the single perpetrator violent event group. And then for age the age of the victim was generally younger than the age for the single perpetrator violent events and then for relationship to the victim. It was quite a bit less common for the victim to know any of the perpetrators if there was multiple perpetrators involved. Especially if the perpetrator was domestic relations so there was less than 3% of multiple perpetrators that were domestic relations to the victim. So I used binary logistic regressions looking at the four types of contact with services and mainly focusing on whether there was multiple perpetrators or single perpetrators. Each logistic regression model controlled for socio-demographics of the victim, relationships of the perpetrator, sex and age of the perpetrator. I didn't include ethnicity of the perpetrator because there was quite a lot of missing in this variable with it being victim reported and socio-economic class of the victim. So for model 1 whether the victim contacted victim support this wasn't significant whether there was a multiple perpetrator or not. For whether the police were made aware of the event there was a 24% increase for when there was multiple perpetrators compared to single perpetrators. For whether the victim was injured, there was a 33% increase in the odds of injury for victims of multiple perpetrator violent events compared to single perpetrator violent events. For whether the victim had treatment in hospital the odds of treatment in hospital were double for victims of multiple perpetrator violent events, than for victims of single perpetrator violent events. I might have rushed through this a little bit too quickly. A bit of a round-up of the main conclusions of this paper. As most research on multiple perpetrators of violent events focuses on the perpetrators, the group composition and the dynamics between the group, they tend to use administrative data sources. So, like I said before, health police records and special services records. This paper that uses the crime survey data shows that victims of multiple perpetrators are more likely to be injured, to report to the police, to turn up at the hospital. So, using the administrative data, you might find that you are... Sorry, I'll try and word that better. So, using the administrative data, obviously there's only data on the people that reach the services. So, the findings of this paper show that there might be an underrepresentation of victims of single perpetrator violent events in administrative data. So, if we're using this data, we should just be aware that there are limits to the coverage. Obviously, everybody here or most people here will be using the crime survey or a form of crime survey. So, it's just an acknowledgement of how valuable this data is and how much it can show us more of a whole picture than other data sources, which allows us to make these comparisons. That's... I finished really early, didn't I?


Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners thanks to all of you including Dustin Campbell, Tim Deputy and Brandon Brooks. Coming up on DTNS, we dig into a busy week of tech earnings. Adobe shows its true colors and will cultured meat ever make financial sense. This is the Daily Tech News for Friday, October 28th, 2022 from lovely Cleveland, Ohio. I'm Rich Drafilano. Draw on the top tech stories from Cleveland as well. I'm Len Peralta. I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. And joining us from across the seas is Nate Langson, Bloomberg's tech editor and host of the Techs message podcast. Nate, thanks so much for being on the show. Appreciate you having me here. Oh, it is always a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me back. Sorry, it's been such a long time since I've been here. No apologies necessary. It's truly our privilege. Let's get started, though, with the quick hits. A few tech things you should know. According to an SEC filing, Elon Musk completed his bid to take Twitter private. It's been pretty low key. You might not have heard of this. The company's stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange on November 8th. As part of the acquisition, Twitter's CEO Parag Agrabal, CFO Ned Siegel, Twitter's chief policy officer, general counsel and chief customer officer were fired. Musk is expected to share more information on his plan for Twitter with employees. It said on October 28th, we haven't heard anything yet. We will let you know. Musk has also said Friday that Twitter would be forming a content moderation council going forward. Telegram founder Pavel Durov said on his own Telegram channel that Apple claimed they wouldn't allow content creators to use third party payment methods. This is despite the fact that Telegram allows content creators to offer access to channels or individual posts through a paywall that users can use to pay for with a third party payment method, bypassing Apple's in-app purchasing system. As a result, Durov says Telegram must disable paid posts and channels on its iOS app. Adding quote, this is just another example of how a trillion dollar monopoly abuses its market dominance at the expense of millions of users who are trying to monetize their own content. YouTube began rolling out changes to how video content will appear on channel pages. This will now be split into three different tabs. On one, you have videos. These are just typical long form your standard YouTube video content. There are shorts for your short vertical video and live showing past, current and upcoming live streams. Users watching shorts videos that navigate to a creator's channel will go directly to the new shorts tab. You can see the same type of content there. Pull one out. Lego announced that it will discontinue its Mindstorms Robotics lineup at the end of 2022. I'm a big fan. It guaranteed support for Mindstorms mobile apps, used to control and program robots until the end of 2024. Lego first debuted Mindstorms in 1998 and I was one of the first people to buy a set. Sad to see it go. Long legacy. And finally in the quick hits here, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Microsoft's office group, Joe Belfiore announced his retirement. He worked at Microsoft for 32 years, starting with the Windows 95 team. You probably have seen his picture at least he co-led and served as the public base for Windows phone division from 2009 to 2013. That includes kind of the Nokia acquisition of when Microsoft is really making their big push with Windows phone. All right. Well, one of the stories that kind of caught my eye this week is kind of about the world of meat substitutes or meat analogs. And just follow along with me here because when it comes to meat substitutes, we've gone a long way over the past couple of decades. Plant based meat substitutes have received a big venture funding and right now, fairly easy to find at grocery stores, increasingly at national restaurant chains. I loves me an impossible whopper from BK as of work. But while plant based offerings from impossible beyond tons of others have really taken off, lab grown meat still remains well in the lab. Jessica Hemslow at MIT Technology Review published a piece musing if lab grown meat will ever indeed become a commercially viable product. We've been talking about lab grown meat for a while. Hemslow points out that the arguments for so-called quote unquote cultured meat are compelling. For example, eliminates cramped conditions for animals, which can ethical issues notwithstanding hasten antibiotic resistant bacteria. It also cuts greenhouse gas emissions inherent in large scale animal agriculture and would use a lot less land for grazing, watering the rest. Yeah, and we've been following this kind of space for a while. You may recall back in 2013, Google co-founder Sergei Bren spent $330,000 to fund the creation of a lab grown hamburger, one hamburger. Costs have come down significantly since then from the tech billionaire only level, but scaling them to consumer production remains a challenge. A 2021 study in the journal Biotechnology and Bioengineering looking at scaling in industrial fermentation and upstream biopharmaceuticals ultimately found that metabolic efficiency enhancements and the development of low cost media from plant hydro lysates are both necessary, but insufficient conditions for displacement of conventional meat, by cultured meat. So even basically looking specatively at technology innovation that isn't there yet, just saying like assuming we advance kind of the state of the art technology now, that doesn't seem to be a foreseeable way to get cost to a consumer level at least at this point. So the short of it is even if technically possible, cultured meats would still have to pass regulatory hurdles before going to the market. But there's the bigger question of if consumers would want to eat this meat because eating cultured animal muscle fibers is still meat. It probably doesn't have the same appeal to all vegetarians. Meaning success would depend on converting meat eaters from eating traditionally raised red meat or meat in general into a lab grown. Now in 2016, the US, a US survey found that about a third of respondents would be willing to give up farm meat for cultured. But just as many assumed it would be less tasty, less appealing, and more importantly, more expensive. Yeah, that seems to be the sticking point. So I mean, Nate, are you going to be pouring out a test tube hamburger? Does that sound appealing to you? No, not really. By pure coincidence today, I had a beyond burger for dinner about three hours ago before I even knew we were going to be talking about this. And I really like those burgers. They're very, very nice. I'm not a vegetarian. I'm not a vegan. I have been significantly reducing the amount of meat I eat. Part of that is for health reasons. Part of it is a bit of an ongoing personal experiment to see how little meat I can eat without actually becoming a vegetarian. Because a lot of the problems I think with meat and certainly with industrialized agriculture and farming is that it is possible to do it in a way where animals are very, very well looked after. They're fed an organic diet. It's very natural. There's no antibiotics, things like that. It can be done. But it's quite expensive and it's hard to do at scale. These are the kind of products that are going to come out that essentially could potentially take over at scale when the costs come down. But that is such a long, long way away. And I think that the biggest hurdle isn't going to be the regulatory issue because we've seen very dangerous things. Well, not dangerous things, but we've certainly things questionable, questionable things pass through regulatory barriers. The biggest hurdle other than cost and regulation is going to be are people going to want to eat it? And over here, I mean, genetically modified food, GM stuff isn't even legal. Like it's barely a thing. So getting past that itself is hard. Growing in a lab fresh, long way away. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to talk over you. No, I'm done. Oh, sorry. One of the biggest hurdles mentioned in this article is getting over the perception, which is why I believe the biggest market that cultured meat would go into is processed foods. So in other words, it wouldn't be here's my steak or here's my ribeye or whatever that you get at the butchers. It's going to be in your steak homes or your processed breakfast meats or whatever that you get in the freezer aisle or in pre made food items, because in a way it's hidden. And if you if you do enough creatively marketing, you can make it seem like, Hey, this is real meat. It's good for the earth. Good for you. And it's, you know, it works out the same. And all you all you're doing is making the the consumer feel better about themselves while selling them a product that's maybe slightly more expensive initially. But you know, eventually, if you get this at scale, as Nate was saying, you could bring the cost down considerably. I do wonder though, if because in this piece, there was an interview, I believe it was with the beyond CEO basically saying that they don't see culture meat being a competitor to them anywhere in the foreseeable future just kind of signaling how far from these they see it as. But I do I do see that as like the as the as the natural competition for this right because there's always going to be that, you know, even if it's industrial, you know, farm raised meat, you know, whatever you want to call it, you can always have that kind of traditional appeal of that right. Whereas, you know, I'm kind of the same but I do I'm not a vegetarian but I am trying to be conscious of like the amount of eating and I I actually like if I'm just going to throw like a cheap hamburger patty like on a grill for like some are growing. I actually prefer like an impossible burger. I just I think they taste really good. I think they've nailed, they nailed that one specific thing. Some of their other stuff is hit or miss for me. But I feel like that is more of the of the market here where it's like the conscious consumer for whatever reason, whether it can be, you know, we can make these lower fat and still, you know, maintain that taste or something like that. I feel like that is the market but the fact that we're hearing that even like, you know, we've heard like other technologies like solid state batteries like we've heard like oh those are coming along, even though we're like we're still inventing the things that can make those industrially possible that that bio technology and bio engineering study made it sound like, even if the speculative technology that we're not sure we can make with all of our VC funding is going to get made, we're still a ways off from figuring out how we can scale this and anyway now throw enough money at something, you know, there's a market demand. Sometimes we can make some stuff happen but there is a it's this made me more incredulous about when we are going to see this been 2013 I thought oh in a decade. That's the thing you'll probably see this taken up in areas or regions of the world where land is at a premium and being able to lab grow things and a vertical in a vertical farm basically a building instead of having to score out acres and acres of valuable real estate to raise animals, I think would be a much would be fiscally a lot more attractive to some to some entities. And a better use of venture capital. Oh, serious, I was just sitting here two minutes wanting to say that. All right, well one of the big complaints with Adobe's creative cloud is users can't really own their own apps anymore and if you use them maybe you felt the same way instead, really only available through a continual subscription. While some complain about subscription models it still hasn't stopped these apps from being wildly popular for Adobe, but now users may be on the hook for another subscription to access color in their past projects. Users report that opening projects in Photoshop illustrator and in design using colors from Pantone. Now show the warning, the file has Pantone colors that have been removed and replaced with black due to changes in Pantone's licensing with Adobe. All right, now Pantone has been around since the 1950s, offering industry exacting standards out using its Pantone color matching system designed to license colors for exact matches across the manufacturing use cases. Now Adobe and Pantone have been working together since the 1990s, the Pantone color libraries in Adobe apps haven't been updated since 2010. Pantone says that to to jointly decide quote decided to remove the outdated libraries and jointly focus on an improved in app experience that better serves our users. Yes, filling it in with black better serves our users. There were of course warning signs that this was coming in 2021 Adobe announced the plan to remove Pantone color books from its app, but said it was working on an alternative solution. So, you know, not great to hear, but okay, they're working on alternatives. Adobe kept pushing back the date of removal. It was originally set for March 31 of this year, and then we back to several dates in August. It seems we have now hit that date in late October. Now Pantone offers its Pantone connect extension that can bring colors back to creative cloud, but the catch costs 90 bucks a year for the premium version. The publication print week also notes that you can back up your Pantone libraries, then re import them when Adobe software update removes them, although if you're already seeing the error message, you're probably as well. So there's also a non industry standard color scheme like open color. So much about the the the insidious licensing world of color Nate, I just didn't think it went this deep. You know how that it went as deep as the colors within the thing within the thing. I just thought colors were colors. Well, and this this may not, you know, impact a lot of more consumer facing use cases for in design and stuff like that. But this is if you've done anything where, okay, I need to send this to print I need to send this to manufacturing, you know, for the for the very professional use cases of these, you know, these. It's easy to say oh you know Pantone wants a license for a color how ridiculous but if you're a brand and you know part of your brand is we have these exact colors that we need to hit we're a certain shade of green a certain shade of yellow and a certain color or whatever you know whatever. That is extremely important to you. And clearly, Adobe was exchanging money with Pantone at some point and they have they have broken down those discussions and decided hey we can pass these on to our, you know, to our commercial users who will, you know, put this in the corporate checkbook and most people won't blink an eye, not realizing that this error message is going to be on Twitter immediately and cause a whole kerfuffle of people being upset about stock images. So one of the things I've used Adobe Creative Cloud for before is their library of stock images sounds and samples. Now, currently, I think they're all royalty free but if there were a thing where they licensed a library say from first com or BMI or whatever to do, you know, background bed music and stuff for for video creations and stuff. And they fall afoul and then someone comes around says well no you can't use that anymore so any reference to these old libraries that are in your project suddenly just get deleted. I think that I think there would be a lot of angry users because you're working with the assumption that up until this point, I get to keep those elements as part of my project and then my final work. And Roger, I do think that it's a separate issue but I do think that points to the concern that we've that lot of people have not just with Adobe being, oh, I got to pay the however much a month and I'll pretend to cancel every year so I get the cheaper rate, you know, whatever. Like the, you know, being on the hook for these subscriptions with Adobe, but it also speaks to it's not just that Adobe is updating these Oh yes, you get the latest features that's a nice benefit of being a subscription service right I never oh I they rolled out this new healing and how I get that that's awesome. That's great that I get that as a benefit of my subscription but there are more dynamics to this kind of software and this is a particular one where things can go away that you have no control over this is a B to B thing, a licensing fight between, you know, it's like the equivalent of a carrier dispute, it feels like a lot of ways where I don't I don't have any agency as a user to be like no no no don't break anything I just want to use the software that I paid for. I didn't pay for the software I paid for the service to use it and now Adobe is or Pantone you know this is again that I'm not the point fingers here for whatever reason now I have less functionality with my software that I am still paying for every single month. I just I just I just don't get it if I draw a picture let's say I draw a really lovely cloud and a tree, and I use only Pantone colors, and this license expires and I don't pay more money. Does my image just disappear. So in this in this particular case your exported image would be fine like if you have already saved it and you've saved this artwork. It's not going anywhere because that's like baked in obvious obviously but that's that's baked in. But if you open that PSD file, and you that had your corporate branding like, if you were using those specific colors you're probably using intentionally because you want that matching that Pantone offers. And then yes, these would be based on user reports that we're seeing right now these would be blacked out, unless you pay for that extension for just a mirror $90 a year. Wow. That's part of it feels unseemly a part of it feels like this is how the industry works because I've seen similar things with in broadcast when you have music libraries that go missing because no one wants to pay the licensing fee anymore. And I'm wondering moving forward is there a better system where it's just like okay you pay this and you get I mean at some point it's called buying software Roger. No at some point nesting licensing and subscriber fees the whole point of it is to make this a very simple process for for creators and it sounds like it's getting more complicated than it needs to be. So just just wrap it into the creative cloud description. I mean that's the only simple way to do this. I mean this sounds to me this just sounds completely ridiculous. It does seem weird that they wouldn't just be like, alright you can pay $2 more and you never see this or something some kind of term like that where they had to have known Adobe had to have known that this would be a black eye and it's going to come back on even if it's again anytime there's a B2B dispute that bleeds over into consumers consumers don't care they're going to blame whoever shows them the message. That's why I compared to a carriage dispute like we always blame we always blame the cable provider and the network is usually like okay it's because my cable provider is giving me the error message it's telling me it's the one telling me it's broken I have no relationship with Pantone right so that that is always where I feel like these things happen all the time it's just consumers aren't aware of them and this is a weird example of it of it coming over. Wow, I have learned a lot today I mean tomorrow I'm going to look at the window I'm going to be a rainbow as to be a black line through the rainbow because someone's removed only if it's a corporate branded rainbow. Give it time. Well, if you have a thought about something that you've heard on this show but don't know our email address here it is check it out feedback at daily tech news show.com. Well, go ahead Roger. As expected it's been a week of tech been a bit of a week for tech earnings earlier this week Microsoft saw a steep decline in Windows license revenue. Meta reported its second straight quarter of year and year revenue decline and Alphabet saw YouTube and ad revenue drop. Well, now it's Amazon's turn for underwhelming Q3 financials they earned 28 cents per share on revenue of 15% of the year to 127.10 billion dollars, which is by my accounting a lot, but below analyst estimates. AWS generated $20.5 billion in revenue up 27.5% on the year, but its slowest rate of year over your growth since 2014 that's quite a while. It's operating income of $5.4 billion accounted for all of Amazon's overall $2.53 billion profit. Its ad business grew 25% on the year to $9.55 billion. Now in its quarter Q4 earnings, Apple earned $1.29 per share on a record revenue of 90.15 billion up 8.1% on the year. Both beat analyst estimates. Revenue was buoyed by strong growth in its Mac business up 25.39% to 11.51 billion dollars. While iPhone revenue grew 67% on the year, it missed analyst estimates with 42.63 billion dollars. Services and iPad revenue also missed analysts estimates with iPad revenue down 13.06% on the year to 7.17 billion. And rounding out the financial news in Intel's Q3, the company earned 59 cents per share on revenue of 15.34 billion dollars down 15% of the year. Then you say, okay, Amazon was up 15%, they missed analyst estimates. Well, Intel was down 15%, they beat analyst estimates. Its network and edge segment was the only one to see revenue growth in the quarter up 15% to $2.27 billion. Data center and AI was down 27% to $4.21 billion. While its client computing group, and this includes PC chips, fell 17% to $8.12 billion. Now that's a lot of, we threw a lot of percents, lots of billion dollars. It feels like pretend money when we're talking about $127.10 billion. But Nate, anything standing out to you in these three earnings report or just kind of this kind of crazy weekend tech earnings? Yeah, I mean, overall, I mean, this is something that at Bloomberg, my head is in 24 hours a day pretty much. And if you want to talk about billions, you can even talk about trillions, because if you look at some of the market value of these companies, in fact, if you add up the big tech companies, they've lost about half a trillion dollars in market value recently because investors have basically said this is terrible. All of these companies are suffering from the same fundamental problems. That is to say things like inflation and currency as opposed to anything fundamentally wrong with their products. And they're all, and they're all doing very, very badly. So you have seen investors fleeing. And the other side of this that is particularly interesting is if you look at what some of the analysts are saying about these companies, is that it is a fundamental problem with what's going on in the business. We're talking about recessions, we're talking about inflation, we're talking about currency problems. That's not set to immediately get better at all. And a lot of these companies stock that their shares are still extremely expensive. They have been decimated this year, not literally decimated, but they've been hit very, very hard over the course of this year because investors are saying, well, look, this isn't going to get better in the short term. These companies are extremely highly valued and they are extremely risky. And now the price has come down a lot because investors have pulled their shares and so the price has gone down. But people analysts specifically are still saying they're very, very expensive. And that means they're very risky because there's no immediate sign of this getting better. So the TLDR version of all that is that it's been really bad and no one's expecting it to get better anytime soon, which means it's a trend we can probably see continuing. Certainly investors are expecting it to continue and we're not really seeing any indicators that are about to change. So one of the things that seemed kind of interesting was that the Apple Mac revenue actually increased. Now is that because Apple has done something significant or counter fluctuation to what's going on in the market broadly? Like is there something about the Mac that has people wanting to buy those instead of buying new PCs? Well, I will say it is interesting to see that especially given the overall PC market has basically been like, where everything's down, everything from memory chips we just talked about on Daily Tech Headlines yesterday, Seagate's cutting like 3,000 jobs. Like the overall PC market, we're seeing this with Microsoft and Intel. There's just a dearth in PC demand and really weird to see that for Mac. Now, obviously they're still in the first phase of their Apple Silicon transition, which I think has churned a lot of users and they've released some of their first professional PCs in the last two quarters with the Mac Studio being like their first kind of really high powered workstation style. I know it's not the Mac Pro, but it's a fairly high margin device for them. But it does definitely seem notable even with all that to not just that it stayed flat, but that it basically was the reason they beat expectations. I mean, they still had record revenue, but one of the reasons they beat expectations because the Mac sales were so strong. I'm wondering if you look at the chips. The M1, the M2, that is a big drive of why those Macs have been so popular with that question. And is it possible that those sales are actually people not buying those instead of buying a PC? So in fact, adding to the kind of depressed sales on the Intel side for client hardware. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't have much to add. No, I just, it's because it's a very interesting, like, you know, if people are jumping ship and saying, I'm going with the Mac because of the M1, because of the M2, and they're just like, well, next time I upgrade, I'm not upgrading my Intel powered laptop to another Intel powered laptop. I'm going to go M1, I'm going to go M2.  And the one thing I'll say real quick, and this may not be the thing of top mind for a lot of consumers, but Amazon's cloud revenue, it's slowing down. It's still like the reason that Amazon is a profitable company is AWS. So that cannot be understated, but Google Cloud and Azure are growing faster. Now they're much smaller, Google Cloud is like a third of what AWS generates and very key. They're not profitable at all yet. So it is, it is interesting to watch this cloud race as it develops as Amazon continues to be the 800 pound gorilla in the room. The almost the legacy player, the dominant player in that market and how it is going to fend off, you know, continue to growth as it as its business perhaps settles into a more routine growth going forward. All right, well, we're just about done with that. But that's a Roger. What's in the mailbag? Well, we got an email from Sam who wanted to comment on the Twitter content moderation store we had yesterday with Justin Robert Young. And he wanted to say, my personal experience on Twitter is quite good, but I think that could be attributed to two things. One, the list of people I follow is quite well curated. And two, I am not in any way quote unquote famous and I don't post on Twitter. So while one can certainly be covered under Elon's idea of people being able to configure their Twitter experience, I think two is the hard part. You can do a lot of harassing of people on Twitter without it being illegal. And I don't immediately see how you can configure yourself out of this issue without just blocking interaction with anyone you don't follow by default. But I'll not discount Elon's attempt yet. I don't have a very high opinion of him mostly because he posts too much stuff. I don't really consider having a Tesla because of this, for example, because I don't like the way he keeps just showing that stuff is almost there. And yes, I acquired electric car last year. So it was actually in the market, but I'm not turning running away from Twitter. If he doesn't do anything that makes my experience significantly worse, I'll stick around.  Certainly. Do you do you think it comes down to just curate the list? Yeah, I mean, I don't I don't really use Twitter anymore. I deleted all my tweets. I still keep the account because I've got thousands of followers and I just can't bring myself to delete it. But I deleted all the actual tweets. If you look at my feed, there's nothing there. So I am genuinely quite curious if something changes here fundamentally that brings me back. So I don't really know what Twitter is anymore. Yes, it's useful as a journalist, but LinkedIn is far more useful to me as a journalist than Twitter. And if Elon changes it and makes it more appealing to me, then I'll go back whether or not it's Elon in charge. I won't be following him, but I'll post if it's useful. It's definitely very similar to me where I just kind of left Twitter on cruise control. And, you know, depending on the decisions and the direction he takes the company, I might revisit that decision, use it more. But at this time, it's just sort of out in the left field for me. Yeah, I am on team curate all the feeds. I Marie condoed everything and asked if it gave me joy and whittled down my list a couple of years ago. Definitely better for it. But I admit, you know, if you're posting a lot or if you have a certain level of notoriety, I know that gets exponentially harder. Well, before we get out of here, we have to thank Len Peralta, who's been drawing one of the stories of today. Now, Len, you were doing a lesser known story from today, right? I was doing a lesser known story. Yes, you know, I always this, I always introduce myself as drawing the top tech stories of the week or, you know, so I feel this is probably the biggest one, right? I mean, not Elon buying Twitter, but him walking into Twitter headquarters with a sink. So this, this is an image of Elon walking in with a Twitter bird inside of a sink. And he has some colorful words to say. This does not in any way indicate how I feel about Elon or hopefully, you know, it's just I'm not making a statement. But if you're not going to check it out, go check it out. It's at patreon.patreon.com forward slash Len. You can, if you're, if you're a backer there, you can immediately download that cool image, which is called must sink in. And the other thing is you can get it just normally at my online store. Len for all the store.com and celebrate my birthday this weekend by purchasing something, maybe even this print. Well, happy, happy birthday to you, Len. And also happy to have Nate Langston on the show. Nate, thank you so much for lending your expertise, especially in the running stuff. That was really great stuff. Where can people find text message and all the other great stuff? Yeah, I mean, my stuff professionally is at Bloomberg.com. I'm a tech editor over there. My podcast UK tech show.com.

Welcome to Matchday Saturday, watching on Fox Sports and also viewers around the country on ABC. Great to have you company. We're set for our match about to kick off at Eden Park in Auckland, Wellington, Phoenix on the rise. Good results the last couple of weeks in Western Sydney. Wanderer's free losses on the trot. Is it a blip or is it the start of a full blown crisis? Kamau was his target, I think, given up by Wellington. Pretty sloppy early on, backers now. And the shot from Yabawa! Just wide of Morinovich's post. Kwama Yabawa had a really good look at that, and Stefa Morinovich is not happy with how things are happening in front of him in the first five minutes. Yabawa and Duke looking to combine. Here's another chance for Yabawa.  I think this is the structure that Marcus Babel was talking about, and they've been working on throughout the week. They've got themselves into an attacking position again. Muller! Chipped wide by Stefa Morinovich from the hands to the head there from Nicolai Muller. I think he thinks that's going in. Stefa Morinovich will see end on, but I think this is a very good save. Not having his best 30 minutes of football of the season. The set piece. He's headed to Watscalf, fantastic save. Really good save to keep his side. Level in this one. Third A-League Club for Daniel Giorgeski. A couple of seasons for the Jets. Three at Melbourne Victory. Born in the western Sydney region. Played as youth football with Blacktown Demons. Now, stand by because, oh, Giorgio Citerio early in the second half. Giorgeski with a bit of realism. Who has the equalising goal for the visitors here tonight? The clenched fist from Nicolai Muller. So, if he can find those positions, then the finish could be on to a good thing. Five yellow shoots forward here, including McCow. And David Ball is taking it away. Kakachi joins the party, much as keeper to deny Kala McCow at a first A-League goal. That's a good connection from McCow. What a save. What a save that is from Lopar. Davila again, driving deep. A deflection and another save by Lopar. Appeals for him, the post. Let's have a look. I think this one could be interesting. There's Hooper. David Ball is urged into the attacking third with the ball. I just want him to hold on to it. McCow might be sticking a goal. So, my ball! Great, terrific save by Daniel Lopar. How many is that? Hooper, the old pro, takes it into the corner. We've ticked up to the seven. It's three straight wins for the Phoenix. A fourth consecutive loss for Western Sydney Wanderers. Ulysses Davila's late penalty gets all three points for Wellington. The Phoenix two, Western Sydney Wanderers one.
