Hi, my name is Sebastian Amato, and today I'm going to show you how you can use Python inline script in your Open Sesame experiment So basically what we are going to do is we're going to convert this very simple lexical decision task that we have built in the Open Sesame user interface into a Python script Right just so you just so that you get an idea of how the user interface maps on to a Python script This I'm going to assume that you know in principle how Python works, right? So that you're familiar with the Python language and also that you're familiar with Open Sesame If you're not familiar with those things there are plenty of other tutorials available But the goal here in this screencast is just to show how you can use Python in the context of Open Sesame Now a little bit about the experiment that we're going to create. We're going to create a very simple lexical decision task In which each trial starts with a fixation dot. Let's click on it for 500 milliseconds. Just a small dot in the center of the screen Followed by a target word And the target word is just a defined by the variable stimulus Which will is defined here in the block loop. You will see that later This is followed immediately by a keyboard response Which has a timeout of three seconds and response only to left and right key presses This is followed by a sound glass dot ogg a little sound of falling glass But if you click here you see in the run if statement That the sound is only played when the variable correct is zero or in other words when the participant makes a mistake When you press the wrong key or no key And the trial ends with a logger that writes all the variables to file, right? Now so this is the trial sequence One level up. We have the block loop which defines ten trials So the trial sequence is called ten times Each time with a different value for stimulus Category and correct response. So you see here we have five real English words There we have five strings that are not English words This is indicated here, right? So these these are all in the category word all in the category non-word and you see that participant correct Response for words is right and the correct response for non-words is left okay so what we're going to do is we're going to replace these five items here in the trial sequence by a by a Inline script So we're just going to take this inline script and we drop it onto our block loop But and then we say set this item to run for block loop Which means that we will replace trial sequence, right? It's quite unusual thing to do really. Yes, okay So now and we can call this trial script Okay, so now We have a completely empty Python script and you see that in in open sesame An inline script item is basically just a text editor that has two tabs One tab called prepare and one tab called run now you can find more about the Difference between prepare and the run phase in experiments online and the documentation but the basic idea is that during the in the prepare tab you add all the preparatory stuff like for example creating a canvas a canvas is like a Stimulus display So you create that you prepare that during your prepare phase because it can take a little bit of time And it can throw off the timing of your experiment and then in the run phase You only do the the minimum number of things that you need to do during your trial sequence, right? So during the prepare phase, for example, you would create a canvas with a fixation dot with the target You would create a keyboard object. It would load the sample, etc. And then during the run phase You would only show the calm buses collect the keyboard response Play the sound if necessary, but you wouldn't do any of the preparatory stuff that you need to do before Okay, I hope that's a bit clear now, okay So let's start with the fixation dot, right? So we need a a fixation dot and In by an inline script in open sesame visual stimulus displays are called canvas objects So we can do we can create a canvas object like this fix dot underscore canvas is canvas, right? This will create a new canvas object Empty canvas object which we call fix dot canvas now if you want to get help for your for the Python object You can get that in you can go of course go to the website in your browser But you can also in open sesame go to help online help by the inline code And then click on canvas functions This is the documentation for the canvas object You see all the functions that are available to you and what we are going to use is basically the canvas fix dot object Right, so it just creates and here you already see an example that does exactly what we want to do as well We do you just create in a new empty canvas and you draw a fixed on it. Okay, so let's do that fix dot canvas Dot fix dot right so create a new canvas draw fixation dot on it Let's add some comments create a create fixation Dot canvas. All right Now the second thing that we need to do is Create a canvas for the for the for the stimulus right for the word or the non-word Through the target. Let's call it the target create target canvas Okay, target canvas is again, of course an empty canvas And this time we are not going to draw fixation dot on it But we're going to draw a text on it Now say that for example, we want to draw the text dummy on on there You would do it like this right so the text function is really simple You just say dot text dummy and if you don't specify a position It will be shown in the center of the screen just like the fixation dot by the way by default It will be shown in the center of the screen But of course what we want to do is show The variable stimulus right we have a variable stimulus which has a certain string in it and you can do that like this var dot stimulus So let's take a moment to understand what happened. What's happening here. So open sesame has a var object and this var object has And all the experimental variables that you have in your experiment are properties of this var object so If we define as we have in a block loop we define stimulus category and correct response That means that this var object has the properties stimulus category and correct response, right? So var dot stimulus basically does exactly what we want to do It's kind of comparable to using the square bracket notation in the open sesame user interface Okay, so we've created target canvas now we're going to create a keyboard response Let's just call that KKB for keyboard Okay keyboard now So we create a new keyboard response object and we've called it KB Create the keyboard response Now the keyboard response can take if you if you create a new keyboard response. It can take a few Keyword arguments and again, you can find all those keyword arguments You can find the description of all those keyword arguments in the documentation basically the two important keyword arguments are timeout is 3000 right there is a timeout of 3000 milliseconds or three seconds and key list Which is a last list of key names that are accepted in our case left and right So that's it basically we've created our keyboard response Then we need to create our sample right we were going to play back a sound sample create error sound We go we were going to play back in an error sound if the participant makes mistakes So we need to prepare that as well. So the error sound is Sample sampler, sorry and the sampler Always takes a file man file name, right? what we can and The file that we want to play back is is this one glass dot ogg Now we cannot just say glad pass the glass dot ogg to sampler Because the sampler expects that you pass the full file name like including the the directory and place on the on your On your in your file system and not just the name and we can do that like this. So we can say path is pool Glass dot ogg now and then we say sampler Okay, so let's take a moment to understand what's happening here So open sesame has a pool object and this pool object works like a dictionary And you can get Items from this pool dictionary And basically what what how the way it works is that if you if you get glass dot ogg from this dictionary It will return the full path to glass dot ogg on your disk So probably glass dot ogg will be in located in some kind of temporary folder That open sesame uses and this will be and this exact temporary folder will be saved in path and therefore we can Pass a path to sampler, right? I hope the logic is kind of clear Okay, and then no, that's it. Those are the the the The the objects that we need we need a fixation dot canvas target canvas keyboard and an error sound Right. So now we've done all the preparatory stuff And we're going to move on to the run phase in which we're going to actually handle the trial progression, right? So here we've prepared all the things as far as we could and now we're going to move on to the prepare phase to really Do the trial sequence? Run, okay, so we have our fixed fix fixation dot canvas fix dot canvas and we're going to show that That's the first thing that's gonna happen during the trial right? We show the fixation then we wait for 495 milliseconds will which will be rounded up to five five hundred clock dot sleep 495 if you want to if if you Want to know more about how you why? 495 will be rounded up to 500 you can find more information about that in the timing documentation on the on the website Now just to take a moment here Clock is an object that open sesame creates automatically It's your clock and it has a function called dot sleep which sleeps for a specified time It also has a function called time which will return the current time, right? So it's basically very simple clock object Now after showing the fixation dot we're going to show the target canvas target canvas dot show Okay, that's fine and the target canvas is The moment at which the target canvas is shown is important because we need that In order to calculate the response time right because the response time is relative to the moment that the target canvas is shown so To to do that we're going to make use of the fact that show always returns a timestamp So if we say t zero is target canvas dot show T zero will have the value will have the timestamp of the moment that the target canvas was shown Right this we could also get the timestamp of the moment that the fixation dot was shown But we don't really care about it. So we just gonna leave it. We leave it like this, okay? Okay, yes, and then we're going to get a keyboard response goes like this Okay var dot response T1 is KB dot Get key Okay, so what's happening here? So we have our keyboard object that we created before and we call the function get key This function returns two values, which in Python is called a tuple and These two values are the response So the key that was pressed and the time at which the key where it was pressed So the response and the timestamp of the key We're going to assign the response to var dot response So that it becomes an experimental variable, right? If we would do like this it would work as well But the what response wouldn't be an experimental variable and it would for example not be automatically locked And you wouldn't be able to use it elsewhere in your experiment So if you have variables in your Python inline script that you want to that you would consider a Experimental variable right something that you want to use outside the scope of this this this little script you can make it You can assign it As a property of the var object and it will become an experimental variable Okay, now we need to have the response time, right and The response time is of course just a var dot response time is T1 minus T0 right so it's a difference between the moment at the time the key was pressed and the moment that the target compass was shown Then we want to Create an experimental variable for the correct status right whether the the response was correct or not We can do that like this if var dot response Is var dot correct response Remember we defined the variable correct response in the block loop so it exists Oh, Sesame knows about it and we've created var dot response ourselves here Okay, if var dot response is var dot correct response then var dot correct is one else For adult correct is zero, right? So if the response matches the correct response the variable correct will be one otherwise the variable correct will be zero We need to do one other thing you remember if the participant made a mistake Then we were gonna play the sound the error sound so If there is a mistake we can also say error sound hope error Sound dot play okay, so we play the error sound Okay, that is basically our entire trial sequence What we shouldn't forget at the end is to log all the variables for that open Sesame has a again a special object called log And you can do various things with it You can write all kinds of information to the log file, but the easiest is to just say write vars And it will write all experimental variables to the log file. Let me just check be sure that I say this correctly By the inline code you see so even I have to refer occasionally to the documentation to see how things work Write vars right there you go.  Okay show fixation dot and wait right for a little moment Show target canvas and get the timestamp right the moment at which the target canvas was shown Get the response and of course the timestamp of the response Do some bookkeeping bookkeeping in the sense that we determine the response time We determine the correct status, etc. We play a sound if If it's incorrect and then write Data to log file, okay So this this little script has exactly the same behavior as the the experiment that we had to begin with which didn't use any script Right, so basically we're make we were making it unnecessarily hard on ourselves, but it's a good Example, so I'm just playing it to give you see let you Let you see that it actually works Test guy Keem is incorrect read guy Tesser incorrect left Right if I make a mistake. Oh less Okay, so there we go


If you lose a few times, cause it's supposed to go down, but it never, it traps. Those other stocks are dangerous. You look at the VWOP, VWOP is very important to determine which side longs or shorts are trapped and who has the power. First, you have to ask yourself, who is trapped? How do you tell someone's trapped? The more deviated it is, the more trapped that other side is. If it's hovering VWOP, we don't know who's gonna go up or down. It's a 50-50 point toss.


Hi you guys! It's Lindsay here. I am back for another Stash Builder box unboxing. I've done this a couple months now. This is I think is our third one and basically I just got my Stash Builder box in and I'm going to show you what is inside and we can kind of discover the the Stash Builder box for this month together. So exciting!  To find out more visit stashbuilderbox.com slash hardbuilders and basically that is Amanda's charity endeavor where a portion of the proceeds of every box goes to help make and distribute quilts to kids in need. So it's a really a great thing that she does there and helps you feel good about about investing in Stash Builder box. In addition there's always cool stuff inside so let's see what we've got. Every one of the boxes comes with a little card and on the card is a quote and this one says three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind. Couldn't have said it better myself. Henry James is the one who is attributed to that quote and he's absolutely right. We should just all be kind and that's what's most important in human life for sure. On the back of the card is just what's inside so I'm not going to look too closely at that now because I don't want it to be ruined for me. The first thing actually looks very very familiar to me. These are wonder clips and we actually use this in garment sewing. I know a lot of you quilters use it too but basically wonder clips are used in place of pins so if you have a fabric like leather for example that you can't put a pin in because it'll leave a hole permanently you will want to use wonder clips.  These things are wonderful and I mean people just really love them. Myself included already have some so it's always nice to have more. So yeah 10 neon green wonder clips love that. There is a pencil so we got a pencil the last two times I think this one says measure twice cut once great little reminder because I think a lot of us can get really excited and then we cut it wrong especially in quilting you guys are struggling out there sometimes with the cutting because if it's not exactly precise and you don't have a perfect square then you're just screwed. In garment sewing if we cut to if we don't pay attention to our cutting we can have something that's too small or too big or just all messed up. So yeah good little reminder measure twice cut once for sure. Let's see we've got some more art felt thread this one is like a pretty blue gray color they're calling it just gray but it's like a bluish gray to me. I don't know what do y'all think really pretty though almost denim denomy colored denim colored okay so it looks like we're eating right into the fabrics now they are the Deer Stella Junebug collection this one is called floral texture it's really really cute I love this one a lot it has a lot of great colors in it there's that's pretty like coraly orange navy turquoise pink really really pretty gray love that one floral texture this one is called net and it's in the mustard color way so it's kind of like a golden yellow color really really pretty and then we have the denny circles so the denny circles has like that almost mint turquoise background and then has like the mustard and coral all combined in there really pretty here's all three of them together really cute right I love these I have used some of my stash builder fabrics from previous boxes in my garments I've used them to make a couple of pockets for some dresses so that was a lot of fun but I could also see like this floral one for example I could see this as the placket of a dress like if you had a navy or a gray and then this was a solid as the body of the dress and then you use this as the placket in the middle that would be so cute I think in like a tunic or I don't know something that has that that placket at the top that would be so cute I think so yeah so that's what I'm doing with the stash builder fabrics like they're not just for quilting they're only fat quarters though so you can't make a whole dress out of them or anything like that but you can definitely use them as accents like pockets or like a placket or a sleeve baby could fit a sleeve into one of them so so yeah that's what I'm using mine for okay so now we're getting into the patterns and every month you're going to get a quilt top pattern and you're also going to get a block pattern so the block pattern of the month BOTMSBB is the hashtag if you want to see how other people are using the blocks of the month this one's called card trick and it's kind of just like all those chevroni almost like two s's turned kind of flipped around a little bit it's really cute I can't really imagine it as a whole quilt because that's not really I don't know it's not really how my brain works I can't visualize it but um you only need three fabrics so that's kind of cool um so half square triangles and quarter square triangles that's it so cool and they walk you through how to cut how to piece them together and then your block is done I'm curious to know if people are like would it be weird to make the the blocks of the month out of the fabrics that are sent and then piece them together even then the fabrics don't match is it would that be weird like none of them would go I don't think or are people just buying like a bunch of fabrics and then sewing up the blocks of the month and then putting them together coordinating fabrics or people with a bunch of different fabrics or are you guys um like making a whole quilt top out of one block like I'm curious to know if you're getting this dash builder box yourself um let me know what you're doing or what you would do if you if you've got all these patterns and fabrics every month and you wanted to do a quilt with them it is really inspiring to get this quilting stuff every month even though I'm not a quilter I have made a quilt in the past and I always get kind of an itch to do it again when the temperatures start to drop coincidentally it's also a great time to start a quilt if you're going to be giving one away for the holidays um so yeah it's kind of like in the back of my mind a little bit and every time I do one of these unboxings it kind of brings it to the forefront a little bit more so yeah let me know what you guys are doing or what you guys would do um okay and then the quilt top is called the stash pick of the month and this one's called a bundle buster so it looks like this you'll see that trying to get the glare to go away just a bunch of rectangles and I believe if I had to guess from the name bundle buster you could make this entire quilt top with a fat quarter bundle am I right the bundle buster quilt is a large lap size quilt that can be quickly pieced from 16 fat quarters the pattern is a perfect way to use up a fat quarter bundle of your favorite fabric line that's so true and so cool I think it's really neat to just to be able to because for me honestly like quilting is so overwhelming because I can't imagine picking out all these fabrics that go together like that's hard for me to do but this one like all that work is done for you you just buy the bundle the bundle already coordinates and then like you know it'll all match you know it all look cute and then you can have um your quilt this is what it looks like draped over some trees I can't tell if that's like a tree or a cactus but that's kind of what it looks like in real life that's such a cool idea I love that I love that it's actually um yeah this this may be the one that makes it into the Christmas gift this year um just because like all of that guesswork is done I guess you could buy a fat quarter bundle um for any fabric this is probably seeming so obvious to all you quilters out there but I'm just working my brain around it now um you could buy a fat quarter bundle and make any quilt top with it but would it be exactly the right amount of fabric that you would need or would you have extra or would you need two fat quarter bundles I don't know how all the math works so this just makes it nice and simple and I know what I'm getting and I've managed for the expectation of what I need so I love that so this was um prepared exclusively for stash holder box by quilting jet girl cute um all right cool well that is it I think let me double check um nothing else is on the card so yeah just some confetti and some tissue paper really cool yeah this is a really good one I love the fabric so much um obviously I love the quilt top a lot um this month and in terms of being a garment so are the um wonder clips you know you can never have too many of those so yeah really great if you are interested in getting your own stash holder box subscription I'm going to put a link down below for you that'll take you to um a page where you can choose the plan that you want you can either buy a month a month you can buy in three month chunks six months and up to a year um kind of like prepaid there's also a coupon code inside the hem will get you three dollars off your first box so be sure to use that whenever you check out otherwise I'll see you on instagram and in our next videos thank you so much for watching I'll see you next time bye


We're here at ITU Telecom World 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand. I have great pleasure to have with me today the Minister for ICT and Youth for Rwanda, Jean-Philippe Baer and then Shingamana. How are you, sir? I'm doing well. Thank you. Thanks for having me. It's shaping up to be a great event and this year the theme of this event of course is embracing change in the digital world.  Well, I think there is one world that captures all that change and the world is transformation. Everything is transforming due to influence positive but also negative in some cases of these new technologies. So there are five sectors that we have identified in Rwanda that we're going to focus on in terms of making the promise of new technologies work for the people. One is agriculture followed by healthcare, education, government and businesses in general especially the small and medium enterprises. Excellent start. What do you think are the biggest threats in terms of getting your roll out in Rwanda? Is anything slowing you down or are you very, you know, heading in that direction already in terms of digitising the economy? Well, I think in Rwanda and pretty much in the rest of the developing world there are two main challenges. One is electricity and energy. That's a big challenge. Yes. But at the same time, as it was said earlier on today, the biggest challenge represents at the same time the biggest opportunity. The other challenge is of course affordability. These new technologies don't come cheap, they don't come easy. It requires a lot of investments and it requires also maybe if I mentioned the third one is digital literacy. So Rwanda has been working along the three main challenges to transform them into opportunities. Understood. And also can you tell me more about the roll out of 4G because I'm presuming 4G will be the major element to get broadband to the people. When the CEO of China Mobile spoke this morning, I was the happiest man in that room because he said 4G LTE is the future and Rwanda is already in that future. We launched last month our first roll out of 4G LTE in partnership with Korea Telecom and our objective is to achieve 95% coverage within the next three years. So we are there and the project has started and we want to be able to share the lessons we've learned because it requires big changes in the policy, in the market structure. It requires also a big change in people's mindsets. I was wondering that because moving from virtually no communication straight into really the leading edge communications is a big challenge for any developing country. Absolutely. It is a challenge. But again I think we need to emphasise that this is the opportunity especially for Africa to catch up or lead a big wave of an economic revolution because you know that broadband is going to lead a big economic improvement and change in Africa. Now when you come to events like this, what are the benefits for yourself and for the people in your entourage and people in the country? What do you get out of events like this? Well I think the biggest benefits in terms of networking partnerships, this is a place where the industry, the leaders, the political leaders, ministers, regulators, investors, they all come to meet here and really see how we can strike win-win relationships. It's also a great platform for learning. We get to learn a lot of things, new technologies coming up, new opportunities showing up everywhere in the world. So it's a platform that we've decided we'll never miss. Minister, it's been a pleasure being with you today and it sounds really promising for Rwanda. We look forward to hearing more in the future. Thank you so much.


I've always been obsessive about consuming self-growth material. You know, the day that I decided that clearly not doing anything was not working out too well for me to live a better life, to get fitter, to make more money, to meet the kind of girl that I wanted to date long term. When I realized that things were not happening on their own, I went all in on the self-growth stuff. I did visualization, manifesting type stuff, new AG stuff, traditional goal setting. The crazy thing is, looking back seven years later, I realized that were really only two things that made a difference for me.  Alex Hein here. Now, before we jump in, there's a journaling worksheet right below this video that is free that you can download that will help you plan out how to get your life together and build the most awesome life imaginable. So check it out right below this video. I had this cool experience recently where I wrote down four of the most unusual experiences that were achievements that I had in the last seven years. And I wrote down these four specific events that happened in my life. The first was writing my two books before the age of 30 that have made six figures in royalties. It's pretty damn unusual to write a book. The goal is never to write the world's best masterpiece, it's to do the best you can. It worked out to an unusual degree. Number two was my YouTube channel, now that I've built, now a second one is out, but really being able to get this to several hundred thousand subscribers and tens of millions of views. That was something that I think a lot of people want and have not been able to do. Goal number three was finishing up my doctorate and doing some doctoral work, studying spontaneous cancer remissions. And number four was a general life experience of having lived on three continents and traveled to about 60 countries, so about a third of the earth. Now the reason I started with these ego flexes was purely because I wanted to see what really produced tangible outcomes in my life, what really produced material, tangible changes that were unusual, that were not just like, oh, this is a little bit better than average, but things that were pretty extraordinary to me, you know, 10 years ago when I hadn't done any of those. And I looked at all the actual daily rituals and daily habits and actions that I took. And the list was very, very long. I tried affirmations, visualization, journaling, all kinds of emotional and physical and spiritual healing, somatic therapies, therapy, hypnotherapy, psilocybin assisted therapy, the classic tactics, hard work, journaling, strategy, KPIs, read hundreds of business books. And reflecting back, it's shocking that I cannot track any of those outcomes to really anything that I did besides two major principles. And I wanted to share this because I think it's very, very important. So what worked? Two things. The very first broad principle, remember it's not a tactic, it's a principle. The broad principle was I only worked on things that were really, really exciting me. To make it more specific, I felt excited about something and the idea kept coming back to me. So, writing my books, you know, I had been doing this online wellness website, Modern Health Monk. I had never done a YouTube video and I was like, let me just put together a little packet because right then the self-publishing industry was just booming. You know, we were beginning to see self-published authors do quite well. And so I was like, let me put together a 30-page packet on my philosophy on where self-growth means weight loss because I was doing a lot of both at the time, coaching. And then eventually I was like, why don't I just take a year and do the absolute best I can to create a really good book and be deliberate and strategic. So I shelved it for a while and then a couple of weeks came back and I was like, that would be cool. And then a couple of weeks later, a coaching client asked a question and I was like, man, I wish I had that little book. So it kept coming back to me and I felt excited. And one day in a coffee shop, I just started writing. And then master the day, that first chapter began. In the other parts, you know, the doctrine of Chinese medicine, I was trying to figure out what work excited me because I liked entrepreneurship, but I didn't love it. And I was trying to find what was the thing that kept speaking to me over and over again. And as I read Robert Green's book, Mastery, I got, you know, as you have those images in your head, as you read a book and your imagination tries to create images, an inner movie to fit the words you're reading on the page. I saw myself as this kind of old school physician alchemist philosopher helping these patients in a very kind of cheesy traditional way. But ever since that vision popped in my head, it only got more and more exciting and more and more appealing. So after a year of ignoring it, I decided to take two weeks off work and I went to all the acupuncture schools on the West Coast of the United States and the excitement only increased. And I reread the welcome packet curriculum over and over and over for almost a year and it never got less exciting. And for other things, whether they were dates with women I ended up dating for a long time or beautiful countries I wanted to travel, the number one thing was this quality of excitement and it kept coming back to me. And so I knew that there was some degree of resonance there. The second thing is just as important and this is specific. I took action on it every day. You know, I think all of us are delusional and we fool ourselves with how much we think we are actually working towards our goals. In my mind, it's really simple. If you want to write a book, you either wrote for an hour today or you didn't. If you want to get fit and feel better and lose weight and sleep better, you either went to the gym today for an hour or ate a salad today or made a different nutritional choice or you didn't. If you want to stop being single, you either made a different choice to either go to a new spot or join a hobby or talk to that attractive person or you didn't. You want to build a business, you either spent an hour in your evening strategizing, planning it, doing or you didn't. If you want to save money for have a better life or a more secure retirement, you either have an automated savings going every single month or you don't. And I think we are so delusional about we're frustrated with the lack of results and completely unwilling to look in the mirror at how much action we've actually taken. And those two things, resonance, excitement, and really making sure I wasn't BS in myself with how much action I was taking on a daily basis. Those were the only two correlations with my big things coming true, my big dreams. Because you know what didn't work? Affirmations, visualization, even working hard, very debatable how effective that is for reaching so many goals. Only these two things, these two qualities were the things that made the difference in my life. And I wanted to share those because if you're frustrated with traditional goal setting advice and it's not working for you, then maybe you need to try something else and maybe these two qualities will help you. And one is a general philosophy and one is very, very granular and specific. And I think a lot of us bypass these and wonder why that big dream isn't happening. Now, one of the best ways to also keep plugging towards your goals is constantly be investing in yourself in the same way that I've learned how to be better on video or have hired people that help work with me and make my content better. But Skillshare is one of those services I've used quite a few times as well. And I've actually loved their workshops and their classes going back as far as to when they started in New York City. Check out all of the online learning communities and programs that Skillshare has with thousands of inspiring classes for creative and curious people on topics like illustration, design, photography, video, freelancing and more. So take, for example, this course called DIY Filming that I went through. It really helped me, number one, figure out how to really storyboard my video in a much more strategic way versus just being a teacher, as well as how to properly prep a short but sweet kind of highlight reel, as well as edit it, put it together and really polish it to be a much, much better presented piece of content.

Well I think what's there to be done is the life he now leads and you know that's at the field but also and more importantly away from the field the life he's leading you know he he has done enough to earn the opportunity to be here and to compete and to be a part of this team now the proof is in in the daily life that he leads and we're certainly going to do all we can to support him and and help him to become the best version of this of himself possible but you know now now the proof will be in the in the in the days ahead we go next to Lindsay Adler please on you and over the last few days we've heard a number of your players saying pretty candid about things and not to equate them but definitely talking about the mango they're talking about the labor issues so do you think the value is players being more open to an extent about about their perspectives on sport and in their uh and their experiences within it yeah I mean we're probably seeing more of that across the board which which I think is a good thing um you know I I think it's it's it's existed throughout time though in sports you know some people are outspoken about things and you know one of the things we've certainly encouraged our guys that if something you know you're passionate about um you know whether it's you know labor issues whether it's social issues um whatever it may be if something's heavy on your mind and heart and you feel like you want to um speak on that um by all means you have that opportunity you have that platform you have that right and uh I think by and large we're seeing more and more acceptance of that and appreciation of of you know people and athletes and entertainers you know having their opinions and allowing them to be heard uh Brendan cutting please unmute you have the next question Aaron what did you think of seeing Taeyong for the first time against others today yeah um I thought he was good I thought he started out a little bit slow and I really like liked how he finished um I thought his stuff as he got going on got really crisp um I really liked overall you know starting with Jamison really I thought by and large our pitchers threw well but likewise I thought our hitters were really grinding away and and giving really competitive that that so I thought it was a real competitive environment and and you know Jamo I think saw you know seeing Judge and Hicks and Frazier and not not sure who else he saw but guys that obviously really control and know the strike zone and um you know got an early look here in February that against those guys you really got to execute and I thought it was a really good another good step for Jamo and and I really liked how he finished um I thought his stuff really crisp got crisp as he went on Brian hope please unmute you have the next question Aaron we've talked a lot about Domingo from the clubhouse perspective uh from a baseball perspective where do you see him right now where how close is he to the guy you had in September 2019 and what have you seen so far on the field I mean I like what I've seen um you know he's he's throwing a couple bullpens he's been sharp he's been crisp uh you know he's in good shape uh you know he kind of going through our assessments with strength and conditioning and training you know he came in in a good spot in a good shape and and that's what he's demonstrated so far in just his couple of bullpens but you know that's a long time ago you know that's a year and a half ago when he was you know at the top of his game and uh there's nothing that suggests he can't get back to that point to being that kind of player but I would also caution that we're very early in the game as far as you know him working his way back but so far I've liked what I've seen. We go next to Pete Caldera Pete unmute. What do you recall from the time of last October when John Carlos Stanton was on that full season home run tear and what are your thoughts about where he is now as he comes to the camp? I think it was consistent to really I think the last couple of years if you hear my comments and I've always kind of talked about where I think he's gone to as a hitter and as an approach and in his focus and I feel like you know we saw what I what I feel like had he been healthy in 19 and 20 a lot of what we would have seen throughout those seasons. I was obviously really happy for him you know for him to go and produce at such a high level on on a big stage against the best of competition but I really feel like that's what he's capable of and I and I feel like through these injuries I've seen a guy that you know and and I think it's just the evolution and the maturity of a of a great and talented player you know playing in New York I think he's learned how to navigate that and I just think again I think if he can stay healthy he's going to turn in a special season I think he's in a lot of ways a much better hitter than even he was when he when he won his MVP several years ago. Thank you. We can go to Ron Blum. Ron go ahead. Look I think they they're all in that mix you know and I think you can expand the list even more when you talk about Wojcowski and Chesine and you know if we go down that road with the Nick Nelson and there's a number of guys and and you know one of the things I've talked about at the start of this camp is I feel like from a depth standpoint you know our 10 11 or so potential starters I feel like all wouldn't surprise me if if any of them are impacting our club earlier at some point in the season so I'm just looking forward to seeing how it plays out who kind of emerges and maybe declares himself but again I think coming off the last season and with whether it's some of our younger pitchers getting built up whether it's guys returning from injury we're going to need to lean on a number of guys and that's why the depth's important and at this point I feel really good about who could possibly emerge so it'll play itself out and declare itself as we go. You see Hermann has someone who's either a starter or at the alternate site or would you consider him also a possibility? Yeah I think I would say everything's on the table we certainly consider him a starter but again you know we might get a little bit creative too in that first especially the first month of the season where you have a few off days in the first couple of weeks you're trying to build guys up and protect guys especially early in some of the colder weather so you know we could get a little creative with guys but I certainly feel like Domingo is a starter but you know he could be a weapon in a lot of different ways as well. Thank you. Yeah we can go next it's a Sweeney Murdy. Aaron both you and Brian have talked about the impact that the shutdown had on Labor Torres and the shape he came into in the summer camp how does he look now compared to what he looked like last summer? Great he looks great it's you know I don't mean to overstate it but one of the first things I did the other day when when guys went through their physicals and assessments was at the end of the day you know kind of went in and met with you know Eric Cressy and Brett McCabe and Matt Rutledge just to kind of get an idea where we're at and I think they were really really impressed with across the board where guys came in and and Labor certainly fit that bill he's in great shape and you know if you guys get a chance to see him up close he looks good he's moving well and excited to see what he's going to go do for us. Thank you. Meredith Murakovitz please unmute. Aaron Lutoy had a pretty big year last year from a power perspective he spoke earlier about wanting to make some strides defensively this season what type of growth would you like to see from him this season considering the solid year he had a year ago? Yeah I think I think continuing just continuing to get a little bit better at his game and defensively as part of that I feel like even from 19 to last year defensively I felt like he made a lot of strides now where you know we're not even taking a step back but where he got hurt up a little bit last year was you know the foot issue that he was dealing with where it didn't really affect him obviously at the plate it probably did cut down on him in the field a little bit and just his ability to move laterally you know move you know as efficiently as he should so hopefully health and just being in a better place physically heading into the season you'll see a natural uptick on the defensive side just in his agility and his ability to move. Have he looked any different this spring or is it the same as last spring it was just that injury that then you kind of set him back a little bit? Yeah I think similar you know hopefully he's you know improved incrementally and as you continue to work and you know bust it at your craft so he's looked good so far and uh yeah hopefully you know he can stay a lot more healthy and and it improves his agility
