Very good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hindi news analysis brought to you by Shankara AS Academy. Here are the list of news articles provided along with the page numbers chosen for discussion today and our video is time-stamped for your convenience. Now, let us start our discussion with this particular news article. See, recently the speaker of Iran's parliament said that Iran will never hand over images from Iranian nuclear sites to IAEA. So in this context, let us know about IAEA. See, we all know what IAEA stands for. It is the International Atomic Energy Agency. The International Atomic Energy Agency is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy. In addition to that, it also inhibits the use of nuclear energy for any military purpose, including nuclear weapons. And see, the IAEA was established as an autonomous organization on 29th of July 1957 and autonomous means the organization is carried on without outside control. The IAEA was independently established outside United Nations through an international treaty called the IAEA Statute. So that is what is called as autonomous. But the IAEA is very closely associated with United Nations General Assembly as well as United Nations Security Council. How the IAEA reports to these two bodies of the United Nations. Now, let us see about its office. See, the IAEA has its headquarters in Vienna, which is in Austria. And in addition to that, the IAEA also has two regional safeguards office. They are located in Toronto, Canada, and in Tokyo, Japan. And the IAEA also has two liaison offices, which are located in the city of New York and in Geneva of Switzerland. And in addition, the IAEA also has laboratories and research centers at various locations. And these are the important offices of IAEA. So why is an institution like IAEA very significant? See, IAEA serves as an intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical cooperation. So specifically for the peaceful uses of nuclear technology and the nuclear power throughout the world. And the program of IAEA encourages the development of the peaceful application of nuclear energy science technology. And they also provide safeguard, international safeguards against misuse of nuclear technology and nuclear material. And apart from that, they also promote nuclear safety, which also includes radiation protection and nuclear security standards and their implementations as well. So an institution like the International Atomic Energy Agency is a vital organ in today's world, especially with the rise of nuclear debt and all. Now talking about the membership, the International Atomic Energy Agency has 173 member states as of April 2021. And when did India become a member? India became a member in 1957 itself. And remember this, and these are the important points regarding the International Atomic Energy Agency. With these points in mind, let's move on to the next part of our discussion. Now, let us take up this news article, The Power of an Apology. See, this article is very important from the ethics perspective for our GS paper. All right? So as we know, some of today's developed countries have committed grave mistakes during the colonial period. We have also seen some countries apologizing for their past mistakes. Today, let us discuss this opid which talks about why countries shall apologize for the past mistakes. Here is the syllabus for your reference. See, recently Germany had apologized to Namibia for the massacres of the Herrero and Nama people in 1904 to 1908. France also apologized to Rwanda for its role in the genocide. And if you note in 2016 very recently, the Canadian president famously apologized before the descendants of the passengers of the Komangatamaru ship. At the same time, France had refused to apologize for its acts during the 1954 to 62 Algerian War of Independence. And same is the case with Turkey regarding the Armenian genocide during the 1915 and 1923. So we all know the impacts of European colonialism on the third world countries. It ranges from theft to racism to cultural destruction, slavery, and worst at sometimes is genocide. So the question is, should a nation apologize for the crimes of its past? See, there are arguments and counter arguments on this issue. See, note the arguments and counter arguments for your answers in the ethics paper. So to begin with, former Australian Prime Minister John Howard had opposed the idea of apology. So what was his justification? He maintained that today's generation cannot or should not be held accountable for the behavior of their predecessors. So it is like the present is apologizing for the past. And also the idea of holding people responsible for the crimes of their ancestors is deeply unsatisfactory, he believes. So what is the counter argument? Though the current generation did not actually commit the crime, many within it still reap the rewards of a colonial world. That is because even today, the Europeans and the descendants of the white settlers remain disproportionately privileged in comparison to the people they once conquered. That is why people throughout the world are looked upon with more respect and they are more privileged, right? And as you can see, this is an ethical question. So what is the solution for it? A potential solution for this is to acknowledge that the current generation did not do any wrong. But the state did in the past. So in this sense, the political leaders as representatives of the state should apologize on the behalf of the state. But this only works when it was the state that committed the violations. And this cannot be the case when settlers or organizations acted independently of the state during the colonial period. Also, we cannot assume that the same state that perpetrated the crimes remains intact today. For example, can Turkey be asked to apologize for the Armenian genocide when the event occurred even before the establishment of Turkey as a country in 1923? So will that be a valid question? And the issue of the intergenerational injustice is further complicated by our multicultural societies. So pay attention here. Let us take an example. Can a French citizen of Algerian descent apologize for France's colonial atrocities in Algeria? So what would it mean for an African American president of the US to apologize for slavery, right? And these examples create situations where one could be both recipient as well as a giver of apology. Now, coming to the op-ed, the author believes that such gestures can generate a lot of positive effect. How? One, it will strengthen the relationships between the countries involved. And there are also demands of giving tangible compensations for the genocide victims. For example, when the US apologized to the Japanese Americans for World War II atrocities, each surviving victim received a compensation of US$20,000. And most importantly, such apologies will help, especially the survivors to reconcile with the past. And it would also avoid some similar strategies in the future as well. And this is very important because today many leaders across the world are persecuting their own people to remain in power. So for example, the Rohingyas are persecuted in Myanmar to remain in power, and the sufferings of Yazidis in Iraq and the persecution of Uyghur Muslims in China, etc. So these are the two justifications that the author gives. One, to strengthen the relationship between countries and thereby it will also pave way for compensation for the survivors. And secondly, it will help the survivors reconcile with the past and it will avoid similar tragedies in the future. So these are the two supporting points that the author cites in favor of the countries apologizing for their past deeds. And apart from that, another argument that supports the countries apologizing for their past actions is that the effects of their past actions are reflected in the present. So making it mandatory for them to apologize for their past and thereby laying down the foundation for setting the past actions for correcting the injustice caused due to the past actions. So these are the three potential arguments in favor of a country apologizing for their past actions. So remember this, with this in mind, let's move on to the next segment of today's discussion. Now our next news discussion is going to be based on this editorial article titled On the Margins with Full Equality Still Out of Reach. See this article presents us a comprehensive analysis on how the section minorities are still far away from their dream of equality. So in this regard, let us see some important points mentioned in the article. So the syllabus relevant for this topic is highlighted. So now moving on to the discussion. So we know our constitution framers have provided us with fundamental rights and the fundamental rights are extolled to be highly liberal, right? But in spite of having such a liberating constitution which recognizes the right of every individual, certain marginalized segments are still far away from enjoying its benefits. And one among them is the queer community which still remains as a stigmatized and a invisible minority. So as we all are aware in the post-colonial India, the constitution has become a space for individuals and the states to converse with each other. And as per the author, the little gains that was attained by the queer community so far was a result of the role played by the judiciary only. And to support his arguments, he gives example of the two major court judgments which came in the favor of queer community. And aspirants note that these two cases has to be courted but on any questions pertaining to the gender minority, all right? So remember that and pay attention. So first let us deal with the Navtej Singh Johar and others, this is Union of India case 2018. So this was very famous because it dealt with the section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Remember on Indian Penal Code that is IPC.  So in its judgment, the Supreme Court held that the section to be unconstitutional that is it held section 377 as unconstitutional. Apart from that it also held it is irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary. And this served as a remarkable step for an Indian individual in his or her quest for identity and dignity. And in fact, this judgment served as a bedrock on which the rights of the LGBTQ plus community thrived. And another important judgment you will have to remember is the NAS Foundation which is Government of NCT of Delhi 2009 judgment. You will also have to quote this case in your answers. So this case NAS Foundation case came much before the previous judgment. And in this case, the court held that the section 377 leads to the creation of an unreasonable classification and that it targets the homosexuals as a class. So this was the judgment that first identified the draconian nature of the section 377. Therefore, the section 377 was found often the guarantee of equality that is enshrined under article 14 of our constitution. And here it should be noted that despite having such judgments in favor of the community, they are still far away from attaining full equality. So especially in matters of employment, health and personal relationships. Now moving on to the next part of our discussion, the author brings in the discussion of same sex marriage which is yet to gain acceptance in India. And this is evident when the center had rigorously opposed any move to accord any legal sanction to the same sex marriages in India. And it further stated that the decriminalization of section 377 of the Indian Penal Code does not automatically translate into the right to marriage of the same sex couples. So to contradict the views of the union government, the author brings in the example of the judgment made by the US Supreme Court in Obergefell vices Hodges cases 2015. Please remember this case also. So this judgment asserted that the universal human rights of marriage should not be denied to the same sex couples. So they highlighted by according value to the emotional and the social aspects of the institution of the marriage. And note that as of 2021 same sex marriage is legally performed and recognized in about 29 countries is legally performed and recognized only in 29 countries which is a sad state of affair. Now coming to the last part of the discussion, so we know about article 15. So it is it pertains to equality. So what it does is it tries to secure the individuals and citizens from every sort of discrimination by the state. So author here says that these grounds of non-discrimination should also be expanded to include gender and sexual orientation in addition to the mentioned grounds in article 15. And to this he gives the example of South Africa and United Kingdom which are already contributed in this regard. See remember South Africa and UK quoting these countries in your answers will also add value to your answer. Therefore as a way author suggests the need for the government to take initiatives to sensitize the general public and officials to reduce and eliminate the stigma associated with the LGBTQ community. So what can be done? This can be done through mass media channels and official channels. And further the schools and university students should also be sensitized about the diversity of sexuality. That is the schools and universities should make effort to break out of the gender binary notion that is existing in the society. So what is this gender binary notion? The general thought that there are only two genders either male or female. So there is a spectrum of genders in the existence and that is what the students need to be sensitized about. And there is also a need to break down the myth around heteronormativity. So what is heteronormativity? So heteronormativity means only heterosexuals are normal and that homosexuals are considered are normal. So that is what is called as heteronormativity and this myth needs to be broken down. And author concludes by insisting on the need for the Indian state to enact a law on these lines to do justice to the prisoners of sexual consigns. Since it is time for the change and the owners of the change reminds with us the civil society the citizenry and the LGBTQ community itself. So with this we have come to the end of this discussion. Keep this in mind. Now let us move on to the next part of the discussion. Now let us move on to this article regarding the small saving scheme. Know that the quarterly reset of interest rates on small saving scheme is due on June 30. That is every quarter of the year the interest rate changes and that is due on June 30. And if you remember the government had announced sharp cuts in the rates in the scheme such as public provident fund and national saving certificate before. But this was rolled back due to the assembly elections in several states and know that small saving schemes are set of saving instruments launched by the government of India. So they include instruments such as PPF, NSE, the senior citizen saving scheme, the Sukanya Samriti scheme and others. See the small saving schemes are popular with fixed income investors as they offer much higher interest rates than the bank fixed deposits. As we know a cut in small savings rate would be unpopular and the lowering of the interest rates will help the government reduce costs also. But it will hurt the investors particularly the senior citizens and the middle class. So with banks to reducing rates on fixed deposits income avenues have shrunk for small investors and apart from these lowering interest would worsen the lives of common people who already suffer from inflation. And the article says that retail inflation was around 6.2% in 2020-2021 and inflation is expected to stay around 5.5% to 6% which is on the higher through the year 2021 and 2022. So a rising inflation and a declining savings rate and a loss of income all these together could be disastrous and that is why such a move should be discouraged. And not just that the fall in small savings rate may discourage the small investors from investing in future also. So this won't be good for the government as the small savings have emerged as the key source of funding for the government deficits also. For example in 2021 and 2022 if you see the borrowings through small savings have been pegged at 3.91 lakh crore. See when you say borrowings through small savings it is nothing but when the investors when the small investors put their money inside with the government the government has liability to pay it back so that is considered as a borrowing from the small investors and that apparently was pegged at 3.91 lakh crore in 2021 and 2022. Now coming to the small savings schemes the public provident fund reminds as the most sought after in the investment option and it was introduced in India in 1968 itself so it was introduced with the objective to mobilize small savings in the form of investment coupled with a return on it. So what is the return the government will pay certain amount of interest for the amount you keep with the government all right and know that PPF offers tax benefit also which means the interest earned on the public provident fund is tax free and if you consider bank deposits the interest earned from them is taxable remember that and see the tenure of the account is for 15 years and can be extended for a block of about five years and a subscriber can make one withdrawal during the financial year after five years excluding the year of accounting year of account opening and also the amount of withdrawal can be taken up to 50 percentage of the balance at the credit at the end of the fourth preceding year or at the end of the preceding year whichever is lower so in this discussion we saw about this news article and the government's move to cut the interest rate and the criticism following it and we also saw about the public provident fund see this is an important topic that you'll have to remember these saving schemes can also be a popular UPSC segment for the preliminary point of view so with that information in mind let's move on to the next segment of our discussion now take up this news article this news article is regarding the state preparedness to manage the possible third wave of COVID-19 and this discussion provides a real-time analysis of data alongside few suggestions and strategies for an effective management so we are provided with the syllabus that is relevant to this topic so before we deal with the strategies and suggestions let us begin with the discussion by learning the delhi administration's policy responses during the first and the second wave of COVID pandemic and this will throw light on the seriousness of the issue see the first wave of the pandemic subsided in delhi and the need for hospitalization of the COVID-19 patients fell drastically so this happened during the month of jan 2021 so because the cases were down delhi administration was using only 20 percentage of the bed capacity for COVID-19 patients because in during the first wave it had ramped up the capacity and only 20 percentage of them were using the facilities in january 2021 then in the month of february delhi government reduced the bed capacity to the level of just about 5000 because the rest of the things are vacant so why to waste money that was their rationale although this decision had temporary success the health system collapsed by the month of march itself because the number of cases started increasing and the second wave started hitting the capital and as a result the bed occupancy went from 33 percentage to over 90 percentage in the first three weeks of april and government also responded rapidly but it could not keep up pace with the rise in the COVID cases but after an 18 day period that was during the month of may 2021 the utilization of the hospital beds also came down when the peak was hit and it started when the cases started descending so it was rapidly back to 30 percentage due to decrease in the COVID-19 cases but we have to know that at that point of time many other areas in the country were experiencing a rise in the case see this experience has two takeaways first COVID-19 wave requires the health infrastructure to be elastic that is it should be able to expand whenever it is needed and it should be able to contract whenever it is not in need so simply put the policy responses should be based on the needs now second the demand for COVID-19 specific health infrastructure is spatially varied so as we discussed before when delhi witnessed a decrease in the cases the other parts of the country experienced a rise also we know that the second wave hit the southern states at different occasions compared to the northern states hence the health capacity at a fixed location will not be sufficient and in addition to this scenario it is highlighted to convey the difficulty that several administrations in the country face and also this clearly demonstrates the fact that it is extremely hard to increase the capacity in response to the kind of surge that we saw in April 2021 and we are all well aware that the key health infrastructures don't exist in all areas in our country hence there is a lot of challenges that need to be addressed to prepare ourselves before the third wave sets in and alongside the delhi scenario the real-time analysis of data provides further information see when we look at the data it provides evidence that many of the districts that were hit by the first wave affected in the second wave to a greater extent see there were 145 districts that accounted for 75 percentage of the cases during the first wave and strikingly the same districts accounted for up to 80 percentage of the cases during the second wave so this group of districts are called as permanently at risk and know that the characteristics of these districts in terms of population size density and mobility make them prone to rapid spread thus permanently at risk districts need reserves capacity and resources to be expanded to prevent any risk associated with a possible third wave of COVID-19 hence actions to track and detect potential surges and early stage should be taken for these specific districts so keeping this in mind the author gives suggestions to address these challenges let us discuss it one by one so the first one is related to mobility framework that is the capacity to move a health care facilities from one area to another so there are two key aspects to moving infrastructure firstly identifying what resources can be moved based on mobility costs and supply elasticity so to make it more clear consider beds and concentrators see the cost of moving it is very less and supply of it has no issues but if you want to move an entire ICU unit to a different locality it needs a large number of equipment and a lot of cost as well and also the availability of equipment is another issue and in addition to it the article suggests policy innovations in three areas firstly it is in the field of personnel management so inducting trained final year medicine and nursing students as health care workers is recommended and rehiring of retired medical personnel is also effective way to address the lack of manpower so with vaccines in hand this can be a potential option and another strategy is to use paramedical workers to monitor patients provide oxygen and assist in telemedicine and secondly resources with high mobility costs need to be evenly distributed in order to ensure equity in access in poorly areas keep that in mind and thirdly it is about spatial equity so it can be done in two ways let us understand it one by expanding the health infrastructure covering all regions of the country which brings resources to the patient if not the other way is by providing accessibility through enhanced regional and area connectivity this brings patients to the resources and this ultimately leads to the sharing of resources within the country to reduce inaccessibility and inequity and in addition to this the article highlights that efficiency of resource sharing increases with the area coverage see when states or districts know that the benefits of resources sharing is going to be larger they would automatically coordinate and build trust among themselves so this ensures efficiency in policy actions but greater institutional coordination for a long run is necessary so bodies such as national disaster management authority nithya yo could play a vital role to bring these players in one platform and finally the article concludes by saying that meeting the success of waves requires enabling governance structures so with that information we are concluding the discussion on this particular editorial this is a very informative editorial not just about the COVID-19 and the third wave but this information can also be used know about the health infrastructure in our country and how this health infrastructure can be shared among the people so with that in mind let's move on to the next segment of our discussion now let us take up this news article this talks about a minor rape victim so what happened is a local court handed over a minor rape victim to her local guardian but the local guardian is a relative of the accused and the court is criticized for that and the court was also accused for its refusal to let a member of the local child care institute in while hearing the girl who is possible victim of child trafficking from Nepal as well so in this light let us see some important points from the statute poxo or the protection of children from sexual offenses act 2012 see this act has been enacted to protect the children from offenses of sexual assault sexual harassment and pornography and it also provides for the establishment of special courts for trial of such offenses and the related matters of the incident and note that the act is gender neutral so this is not just for the female children this act is gender neutral and it aims to ensure the healthy physical emotional intellectual and social development of the child or any person below the age of 18 and know that the act defines different forms of sexual abuse also so it recognizes penetrative and non-penetrative assault and it also recognizes sexual harassment and pornography as we saw earlier and the act further deems sexual assault to be aggravated under certain circumstances such as when the abused child is mentally ill or when the abuse is committed by a person in a position of trust or authority and now coming to the punishments under this act penetrative sexual assault on a child can lead to an imprisonment for not less than 10 years and may extend even up to the life imprisonment and fine and as you can see in the clipping whoever commits a penetrative sexual assault on a child with 16 years of age shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years and may extend to the life imprisonment and or the imprisonment of the reminder of the natural life of that person fine is also a part of this statute and similarly the use of child for pornographic purposes can lead to imprisonment for not less than five years and it also includes fine component and if you take the case of subsequent conviction of the same person the imprisonment can be up to seven years along with fine for the same offense and see in order to prevent the misuse of the law the punishment has also been provided for making false complaints or proving false information with malaysia's intent and usually such punishment has been kept relatively light like six months or so to encourage the reporting but in case the complaint is made against a child the punishment is higher up to one year and note that the act provides for the establishment of a special codes for the trial of the offenses under the act and it incorporates child friendly procedures for reporting recording of evidence investigation and trial of offense for instance the statement of the child can be recorded at the residence of the child or at the place of his or her choice and this recording of the statement shall be preferably by a woman police officer not below the rank of sub inspector and likewise the police officer should not be in uniform while recording the statement of the child so these are some of the important points about the Poxo act so with these details in memory let's move on to the next segment now look at this news article from the Trivandrum edition so this talks about the achievement of the Pradhan Mantri Avasyogana so the only takeaway that we'll have from the UPSC point of view is about Pradhan Mantri Avasyogana we had already discussed this on our 30th march class regarding the scheme so I request you to go through that for better understanding so with that let's move on to the next segment that is practice preliminary question so we have three questions for discussion today let's go over it one by one so this first question is our three statement question and it is about international atomic energy agency see the first statement says the international atomic energy agency is an international organization that seeks to ban the use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for any military purposes including nuclear weapons see this statement is incorrect because it does not try to ban the use of nuclear energy but it tries to regularize the use of nuclear energy so statement one is wrong so we are eliminating statement one we are now left with option b and option d so international an atomic energy agency was established through a united nation statute and in the discussion we also saw that it is not established through a un statute but it has its own statute called the international atomic energy agency statute but however it is closely associated with the united nation how it reports to the united nation general assembly as well as the united nation security council so statement two is also wrong so the correct answer why elimination is option b now let us also go to the third statement international atomic energy agency reports to both the united nation general assembly and security council yes we just saw that so the correct answer is option b moving on to the next question so consider the following statement regarding the public provident fund so it is a two statement question and the question asks us to identify the correct statement so first statement is this it was introduced for the first time in the budget of 2021 2022 with an objective to mobilize small savings in the form of investment see statement one is incorrect because it's a very old scheme the public providence fund scheme and it was introduced way back in 1968 so that makes the statement incorrect now considering the second statement the interest earned on the public provident fund is tax free and we saw this in the discussion as well we have the tax benefit here and it is tax free the statement two is correct and the correct answer is option b now moving on to the third question so it's a three statement question and we are asked to identify the correct statement so the first statement is this the ministry of women and child development champion the introduction of the protection of the children from sexual offenses act 2012 so we know statement one is correct and we saw this in the discussion as well coming to the second statement the act has been enacted to protect only the female children from offenses of sexual assault sexual harassment and pornography is it true no because we saw in the discussion that this piece of statute is gender neutral and covers everyone below the age of 18 so statement two is incorrect and coming to statement three the act provides for the establishment of special codes for trial of offenses under the act by keeping the best interest of the child as of paramount importance at every stage of the judicial process so this is a correct statement and with that we arrive at option c as the right answer so here are some of the mains questions inspired from our discussion today write the answers and posted in the comment sections for the peer review see writing few mains answers is very very important for your mains preparation so with that let's wrap up our discussion today if you like the video like share comment and subscribe stay home stay safe good day


Hi, my name is Ellen Wendt, Stephanie Pavoni from Auburn, Georgia, with Six Fleet Naples Italy. In honor of the Navy's 239th birthday, I'd like to thank my husband Travis Pavoni and my family and friends that range from the Southeast to New England for their support.


Hello there everybody started in just a minute. Let's see if anyone else is joining. Okay, we're going to go ahead and get started. Welcome everyone. This is the SIG contributor strategy meeting for the CNCF. We are as a CNCF committee we are subject to the CNCF code of conduct. So be nice. And, and also this meeting is being recorded for the CNCF archives so please be aware of that. And with that, let's go ahead and get started. Make sure that you put your name down in the minutes. Paste that again into the chat. We don't appear to have any guests from projects with issues or looking for guidance today. So we will go through the normal agenda of subcommittee stuff, etc. Unless somebody has something else urgent. If you have something not urgent just put it under other in the agenda. Okay. So maintain your circle. Apparently Paris can't make to the meeting today. She added some notes. February 28 is the next scheduled maintain your circle event. She needs to ask Celeste and Steven for structure I don't know who those are apparently the presenters, the, and she needs to send our notice about that. So anybody else know anything about what's going on with that. Okay. So. Oh, hey, now I can actually see everybody. The. Hey, Charles. Hey, April. April had a good time off. Oh, good. It was nice. It was inspired by Carolyn. So thank you Carolyn. Okay, governance. We're just getting started for the year. We have our usual sort of slate of content that we're still trying to produce for project governance, etc. The one sort of bit of news we have is the elections online elections application is almost complete. The project will belong to CNCF infra after that so not a CNC a project because it's not cloud native, but but one supported by CNCF staff and available CNCF and Linux Foundation projects. For those who weren't following around with it it's a preference election application that works entirely off of defined off. So that projects can have things like steering committee election and it's a useful replacement Linux Foundation is offering access to something through LFX but that thing is a proprietary elections application. That costs money every time you use it. And as a result would be more restricted for projects. Having a free and open source option is helpful. I don't know whether or not the CNCF will be offering instantiations of this because the project is just the code. It's not a running instance, particularly because you need a running instance of it for each project the way we set it up we decided trying to do multi tenant was going to be painful, and therefore we just didn't do it. So it's going to be up to the CNCF whether or not they launch instances of these for the projects yeah. What elections will be used for. So we just used it for example for the Kubernetes steering committee to select their general board representative. And the main goal in doing this project was to allow was to support the annual Kubernetes and open telemetry steering committee elections. So, so yeah those sorts of elections. I think it's isn't it like anybody that basically if you're doing elections that are based on eligibility defined via GitHub. It's just like your life saver. It doesn't write and it doesn't even necessarily need to be GitHub if you're willing to add another OF provider. True. Yeah, the only one we've included in the code is GitHub, but it's we're using the generic Python OF library so anything that that supports could potentially be a provider. So, yeah, and mostly this came out of my pain with civs. I've done a number of elections using civs and it was oh my god I am just never doing this again. So, email hell. Yes. So if someone wants to do an election, because you said it's not hosted, they'll need to send it up and run it for the duration of election somewhere. Yeah, and so what I'm hoping is, and one of the things we should discuss in the next governance meeting is once it's 100% finished. It's not quite yet. I mean, I would say the code will be done in around two weeks. And then we need to finish the documentation. I, the, that I'm once it's completely finished. I'm thinking that we discuss some governance that we send a request to the CNCF saying hey, it would be nice if you offered this to projects to spin it up. Because the project will be providing say a a Kubernetes suitable container image. But it won't be free because you need a database on the back end. Configured currently to use my SQL could be anything that SQL Alchemy supports the and, you know, and a cloud hosted database costs money so the So it'll be kind of we can send a recommendation that it'll be up to the CNCF staff to decide what they can reasonably support there. And part of it's going to be honestly based on demand, right. If I were Amy or you or whoever what I would probably do is see how many projects requested. Yeah, thanks. So, but yeah, you have to instantiate it and run it somehow. And we've been running in this instance for test purposes for the last three months. And I'm probably overpaying because I don't understand the Google cloud system very well. But I think it's costing about 90 bucks a month. Most mostly because the hosted database the Don do we have anything else for governance. We've really done anything else in a month. Everybody's been on holiday. Yeah. Oh, thanks. I got it kind of more purple over the holiday. Thanks. Okay, contributed growth Carolyn. Um, this is kind of our status from last week when we met. We are in the middle of interviewing projects we've done for so far that I'm aware of for contributor framework. Um, but I don't really know much more than I don't know. Charles, if you have more info on that, maybe. I'm sorry if you don't know. No, no, sorry. There's somebody is on our fire escape and it is. I was not told this was going to be happen so happening so I have no idea what you just said. Oh, I was just wondering if you if you had more information about the interviews that we're running right now for the contributor framework if you know Yeah, yeah. So Catherine I believe is done with the interviews I have reviewed her doc with my notes. So I know that she's looking for input from other folks as well. I think the doc is linked in the meeting notes. And I have going to set up a meeting with her to teach her how to make a pull request. So that's that's why it's not in GitHub yet but she's looking for reviews in Google Docs. I just updated it with the link to it. It's really good this whole bunch I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Yeah, she, she and I walked through it so it's it's looking good it's in shape I think it's got a lot of good feedback in there. Yeah, I think overall she's looking for information about whether it's too specific not specific enough, you know, looking for the right amount of prescriptiveness, I guess is the right word. Um, the other thing is the contributor ladder. I owe Karen Karen review and really just more content a little more. Can you link that again, because it's not a pull request so Oh, yeah, right. And while she's looking for that I'm just wanted to call out that Paris updated in notes that January 28 is the next maintainer circle not February 28. Today I play the role of Paris but then which happens a lot anyway. So I just added a link to the contributor ladder, we have a draft in our repository that Karen started it off. I think I think it needs just another round of like editing and a little bit of maybe cleaning up the text of it. But please take a look to what it looks like. It's better PR if you have more changes you'd like. We also discuss starting an onboarding guide, and also a reviewing guide, we're tracking this under our content issue. So I wasn't going to make extra ones for that I don't know how we're doing things Josh if you want individual ones for each piece of content. I, you know, I don't know whatever works for you the actually probably ones for each piece because we might say oh wait this one is not quite ready. And it's a lot more helpful to actually have a separate issue for that. Because otherwise you're combing through all of the comments to try to figure out which things were actually improving. Yeah, yeah, we've just been updating the app. But I can switch it out and split all those into issues. So that's, that's what contributor growth is kind of doing at the moment. Everyone has any questions always I can jump right to the website. Yeah, go ahead and jump to the website I'm just looking at this. So, I made a proof of concept for the website and open up a PR because I'd like to get it into our repo. So I don't have to keep merging in changes. What'll happen to the tiny amount of content that's currently in the contribute repo. And sorry, what. So there is a little bit of content as in basically two pages in the other repo. It's in the website. Have you seen it lately. Yeah, but I thought the website was drawing from that contribute repo currently. It is at the moment it's a, it's a my own personal fork. I don't feel like I have license to make changes to anything yet. If that's not true please tell me, because then I won't be maintaining forks and kind of doing weird things. Okay. I'm going to say I. You can verify this but as far as I know you have all of the necessary authorization. Okay, okay, cool as long as as long as the the existing content is still there in some form. It'll be an exact same spot those the extra files and data. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay. Cool. What I wanted to ask about is the current. And this is all in the issue of going to read through it. I made the minimum required changes to make pulling in the content from the contribute repo the existing one work. But to be honest right now it's made to be read from GitHub. And it isn't following any of the conventions of Hugo, which is how during the site. I'd like to change that so that people obviously added it on GitHub, but it's meant to be viewed on Hugo and it would just move a lot of hacks. Yep. Great. That'd be awesome. Yeah, I think it was good. I like that. I was just, you know, playing with it. It looks really good. I like it. I do have one correction that I'll send over for GRPC, the primary language. But other than that, everything was great. Yeah, if you need to change anything I suggest doing it against the, the real canonical repo on the main branch. Okay, so should I just wait until it's not a big deal so like I can just wait until everything is set up. I would just submit your PR. Let's get it merged. And then when I do a final merge and match up with everything that's in there. You know, it doesn't go for your change. My stuff is definitely out of date. I haven't done a merge in the past like two weeks. So when do you play? Sir Caroline, when do you plan to complete your job with with the website like to merge everything into into one single space? Um, so we saw that there's always going to be two repositories. There's our six repository and then there's this contribute repository. I haven't merged them together I didn't plan to. I wanted to get the POC that I have in the main branch so that it's not, I'm not carrying the burden of merging constantly. And then I'm making sure that anyone can make edits. So this isn't like a, you need to finish the editing experience. So I think I'm almost there and then the question would be what do we need to do to switch. And then Netlify is serving that URL. I'm not sure it's probably the direct. So, we have the contribute.cnc.io which is directly routed into the GitHub. I'm not sure how it is exactly set up. So this has been done by LFIT, I assume. So we'll have to submit the LFIT ticket to change that. Or you can, you can redirect directly. You can, you can submit your changes directly to the CNC of Contribute Triple and in this case, it should just work. So, when I submit the changes to both of our repo so that both means have all the website content in it. I'm just talking about that final redirect so it doesn't go to the root of the repository goes to this website on Netlify. Can I open a Service Desk ticket for that or? But just shoot me an email because we'll have to circulate on that internally. Or yeah, you can do a Service Desk ticket actually. Anyway, let's do the Service Desk ticket, the CNC Service Desk ticket and we'll figure out internally what to do here. That'd be awesome. Yeah, I will, I will do that then there's like a couple things just to make sure everyone knows how to contribute and then I'll submit those PRs. Perfect. Oh my gosh, I see cube conspring there. And I'm terrified. Okay, so wait, so the the actual the all of the markdown files and stuff, those are going to live in the Contribute repo or they're going to live in the SIG Contributor Strategy repo or where? Um, so what I'm taking advantage of the fact that Hugo can pull in content from multiple locations. Yeah, so the website, we have two links. They say I'm a maintainer, I'm a contributor. Okay, if you say I'm a maintainer, it's taking to a section of the website that's populated by our content in our SIG repo, and that'll keep going, you know, what I recommend we do is instead of having draft folders, we just mark it as draft and it won't display on the website, but it'll live in its final destination, you know, in GitHub, just fine. Which would be great. How do you mark something as draft. It's YAML metadata. Okay, in the header of the page. Yeah, you just basically say draft true and it won't, it won't render that page. You just mark it as a draft in GitHub though, right? Yeah, so I don't have like anything that could just like switch where it took to show you. So, like when you write a webpage for the website, at the very top, there's just a little bit of YAML and has a couple of fields like what's the title, things like that. And one of them that we can use is draft, and what that means is when we publish the website to production, that page won't be included. Gotcha. It'll still be in GitHub, which is great. We can also edit it and see it. But when someone goes to contribute, they won't see it. Got it. Yeah, and then we don't need to keep using that draft folder if we don't want to. If we can do that, it makes sense, because the other option obviously would be to have a draft branch. Yeah, I don't think we need to do that. Okay. But we can try it this way and, you know, if we need to change it, everything's changeable. And so as far as the, anything that's on the other link, anything about related to contributing, being a new contributor, things like that, it will show you content from the other website. Sorry, the other repository. And, you know, over time, we may want to, right now it's just two giant pages, to be honest, we may want to split that up because now that we have, you know, website format, we're not just using GitHub, I think we may be able to present it better. So it's not quite so overwhelming and scrolling. Okay. Well, this is awesome. So, you know, you'll work with you or to actually get this made live. And in the meantime, the rest of us should look at what other sort of content we can get online since we can just push it into our existing folders. Yeah. The, and, and we'll file some issues because I just realized I actually want to make a subheading under governance so the Okay. Cool. Great work. I'm getting very used to looking at Doxy sites lately. The, although admitted my other sites I'm using Doxy Jekyll so that I don't actually have to have a build step. It's Doxy Jekyll. It's a set of Jekyll themes that give you the same layout and functionality as Doxy. I didn't even know that existed. That's awesome. What you need to use it is that if you're using Hugo Doxy right, then your CI or on your desktop you need to go through a build step before publishing. And because Jekyll is run by GitHub itself, you don't, you can skip the build step. Yeah, well, Netlify runs Hugo as well. So, oh so Netlify is doing the build step for you. So, as an editor, you can change it in GitHub, you know, you can just like right click on a file say add it, you know, make one line change and you'll get the full build everything you don't need anything on your computer. Okay. The, yep. But they look the same. So. Okay. Awesome. So that's where we are on the website. Everybody should be contributing to that. And this now means that if you create a document in your folder, it needs to have a little bit of metadata at the top of it. And it really is a very little bit. Look at the existing pages. Okay, so let's move on to KubeCon Spring. We, there's a recommendation there that we should have some kind of a submit some kind of a contributor strategy session. It can be just kind of a tour of, you know, what we have to offer, etc. and what we're working on. Or, you know, do we have a particular topic we can focus on for this one. I'm wondering if we'd like to focus on some of the guides that we've finished creating. Yeah, yeah, like have a topic that's about, um, actually, I think Don submitted one. I saw your proposal, but stuff like that like some of our advisory guides would just make great talks standalone you know how do you do a contributing guide how do you welcome new contributors things like that. Yeah. I think the talk I submitted was about business risk, which governance is a big part of. Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean that would actually kind of have an argument. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a session that sort of focuses on contributed growth. Because that's an area where we've had a lot of questions from projects and it would be a little different from the attempted session that we had in the fall. And I think would have a lot of interest again from, from the sort of target attendees for KubeCon spring. There's contributed growth is a big area do you have any thoughts on. I would be, it would be basically sort of an overview of how do I get contributors for my CNCF project. Okay, the new contributor pipeline. Yeah. Yeah, the that's just a thought right if you have something something else that you think would be bigger but but that is kind of the question we've been getting from projects. You know, how do how do I get contributors. I have this project. It's, you know, technically successful. But it's like our company and our company's ecosystem so how do I start getting public contributors is a big one. Yeah, I saw a lot of submissions actually related to that for Yeah, for KubeCon Europe. So, I think a lot of people are thinking about it. Yeah. Okay. I guess the question is, do you think any of those submissions pretty much cover that topic so that it doesn't make sense for us to do one. Okay, no I think they're coming from slightly different angles. So for example, if we covered the new contributor pipeline. I didn't see submissions related to that. You know, coming in for you can. Yeah, I think I think it's okay for you to talk about it in general just don't name anybody or gives the exact content of the submission. Um, yeah, so I think that like, that would be an area that no one's known really submitted anything on to say how do I bring people in, what are good practices what would a contributor ladder look like a contributing guy and any of those types of things. You know, people are focusing on different areas of contributor growth in their talks. I'm going to get an angry letter from all this money anymore but so I was going to watch this video and get me out of me. Okay, I think that's a good idea I would be I would be in favor of that and willing to help with it. Anyone else. Somebody who want to volunteer to lead the drafting process for the submission. Someone else really wants to do it then I want them to do it. And Harris and she's not here should I just volunteer her for that now she would kill me. I'm happy to help I don't know that I want. I don't know that I have the expertise to, you know, be the lead on the submission but I'm happy to help wherever I can. I'll maybe get a couple different ideas and what we need we can meet and kind of see which one seems. Yeah, we can just like flush it out and do a brainstorming yeah. Cool. The one other thing that we have an agenda, Paris put in if there's no comments or suggestions for graduated guidance and templates to see should begin their approval process. So, the. The next question is, what is that approval process and we're going to have to bug Matt and sod. Yeah, which I, she sent an email didn't she like recently to them. Yeah, she sent an email and I have the, I would really like as much as possible to not have a full to see vote every time we want to publish a document. The, I think, I think maybe I should comment on that proposal and suggest that hey, if it's a non controversial topic either Matt or sad, or their replacements from the TOC should be able to just approve it. Can we just lazy consensus. We just put out there and if no one says anything after a week, it goes. I would like to have somebody who's sitting on the TOC approve it just so that we don't end up in the situation where we publish something and then somebody in the TOC takes exception to it. Yeah. Slightly consensus you just need one person. But yeah, I think it can be just one person right. Yeah, the. So, like I wonder, like, what's the process for approvals. If there's a like change in the TOC repo, like, surely they don't all have to approve. No, so like, can't we just copy that same process for our stuff. The. Yeah, I mean, honestly, the the actual physical promotion gets done by the CNCF staff. Do it based on judgment, I guess, is whether or not the TOC approved something. So, you know, and pretty much everything going to the TOC repo does get at least brought up at a TOC meeting. And I'm just saying, you know, hey, if I publish a guide on. If we publish, for example, a new contributor ladder template that should not need to be approved by the entire TOC. Right, right. You know, it's just not some things right like if we post guidance on the multi organization requirement, etc. That probably does need to be approved by the default to simply because they've already argued about. But for most of our documents, they're just, it's just missing documentation. It's not controversial.  I was a little unhappy that Paris pushed that email to the TOC without having discussed it with anybody in this meeting. So we'll have to backpedal now. Well, I mean, are we, the content is still correct. But she she sent an email to the TOC that include a proposal that the full TOC would vote on every piece of content. Oh, I yeah, I missed that part. I just got the email that Matt and saw needed to give their okay. Yeah. So, yeah, that was in there and I was like, oh, so the, I think we might want to modify that proposal. I guess ultimately we need the TOC to tell us what they want. I mean, if we're supposed to be a subgroup of their efforts, then they should tell us how they want to receive and approve. Okay. I actually need to jump off because I need, I'm being paged in the SCD community meeting. This, this, I will not end if people still have stuff to discuss. But, but I need to jump off. I mean, I think that was the end of the agenda right so. Yeah. Awesome. Thanks for attending everybody. We'll follow up in Slack and GitHub. Bye bye.


For all of the horror stories around vegan diet, we never really address the unreal amount of global warming these vegans are causing with their lawnmower buttholes. I have talked in the past about how some vegan girls I have gone out with here and there have smelled pretty bad. But the farting is something else. Fortunately, for vegans, we have Dr. Clapper with his words of wisdom on how to prevent this from happening to you on a plant-based diet.  Everybody farts. I mean, all animals do it, all mammals do it, about 20 to 25 times a day we all And it happens a lot when we're speaking in the horizontal. So it's not a state of disease and so people should just understand that as part of having a tubular digestive system where chemistry is happening. But very importantly, where does this gas that has passed come from? Well, a significant amount of it, 40, 60, 80 percent, is swallowed air. What is that? Well, there's air in the food. On a fork full of rice, there's air between the grains of rice, in a floret of broccoli there's air down, in a fork full of salad there's air between the leaves of lettuce. And when we put the food in our mouth and chew it up and swallow it, if there's a lot of air in the food, we're going to swallow that air. And once that air is in our stomach, it's going to go one or two places. It's going to go up, it's going to go down. You either release it discreetly from above, and a big fan of quiet belches after dinner. But if you don't release it from above, it's going to go through your gastrointestinal tract and cause flatulence. So how do we avoid swallowing so much air? We've often taught how important it is to chew our food really well, break down those cell walls so we can absorb the nutrients in these plant foods. But one advantage of chewing your food well is that it forces the air out of the food. So by chewing that food to a cream, you're going to swallow a lot less air. But that's really the opposite of the way most people eat. We're in a big hurry to get that meeting, we're going to have to catch a plane, two chews both down it goes, and all the air goes down there. And we wind up passing a lot of gas and blaming the beans, but it wasn't the beans, it was the air swallowing from eating too fast.  So even too fast and not chewing well enough, it's one major factor, chew your food. Your mother was right, chew your food, they're a little bit more vibrant, but seriously it's a major factor in the gastrointestinal tract. So Dr. Clapper's theory of the air in food causing you to fart is so ridiculous, I am not going to address it. What I find hysterical is that the other guy is sitting there nodding and agreeing with him. Then he goes home, uploads this video like it's good information.  How can he look at this old quack with a straight face and agree with what he is saying? Let's explore further into vegan fart escapades. Here we have someone who recently turned vegan. For instance, I took a crap in a center world the other day and the guy who went in after me turned around and left, waving his arms as if he was a beleagu'd veteran, helling the last rescue helicopter into Saigon. And the responses are comical.  I'm with you and my farts don't smell at all. Then we have Mr. Delusional who claims that farting on a vegan diet is temporary saying if you continue to follow the vegan diet your gut will adjust and the farting will go away. But here we have an almost 10 year vegan who still farts a lot and another who attributes their farts to detox. Oh look, another comedian. I fart a lot but I don't get gasp pains and they don't smell. They don't smell. Then we have Tiffany. I have been a vegan for about a year now and while my farts have always been bad they have gotten worse. Personally, mine have not gotten better but maybe just me. Don't think you're alone on that one Tiff. I still fart a lot after 6 years vegan. I think he is still detoxing, maybe he just needs his gut to adjust a few more years. I don't fart much but my dumps are massive. Like crazy massive. Yep, every time I go it's a freaking loaf.  I also love to rub in the fact that I poop at least 3 times a day. I am a master of this stench. You aren't so dainty young lady. I was the exact same for the first few weeks and then the farts stopped. You're just adjusting. It will pay us. The only thing passing is the demonic stench coming out of vegan rear ends. Here is another story. I have been vegan since November but this month I have been very gassy. I didn't realize how bad the smell was so I usually just let it out silently. I'm starting to realize how bad the smell is. I was taking the public bus home from school today and I let a very small tube out of its prison. I thought it wouldn't be a problem as most of the windows were all open and it was a big bus. I was very wrong. A girl all the way on the other side of the bus starts to put her shirt over her nose. Then she searches in her bag and takes out a bottle of essential oil and starts shaking it everywhere as if she was baptizing the whole bus. Then she frantically tried and struggled to open her window while holding the bottle of oil very close to her nose. After she finally opened the window she began to give me the Sicilian stare that lasted the rest of the bus ride. But we have the solution boys and girls embrace it. What's also funny is if you Google why a vegan diet causes farts we see the same nonsense explanation that your stomach is adjusting to a new bacteria, a higher fiber intake. But if you Google specific foods like beans or broccoli it gives you a specific compound in the food that makes you fart whether it's a type of sugar or fiber that the body cannot utilize. Humans tend to make things up and are getting away with it. Pretty much everything about a vegan diet is made up and everyone believes them but what are you going to do?  The opposite of a carnivore diet when people go carnivore their bowel movement frequency regulates to an average of one small to medium sized movement per day and they are not just a little bit smaller compared to the food volume that vegans are eating probably 4-5-6 pounds of food on a vegan diet compared to a pound or two of food on a carnivore diet the input versus the output is drastic.

Functions are often presented in graphical form. The graph of y equals f of x is the graph whose points are xy, where y is equal to f of x. So, for example, we might sketch the graph of y equals f of x, where f of x has the following values. So, remember, the graph of y equals f of x consists of all points xy, where y equals f of x. And so, if we look at our table, we see that if x equals negative 2, f of negative 2 is equal to 3. So, negative 2, 3 is on the graph, so we can graph it. And remember, if it's not written down, it didn't happen. Always label your points and graphs. If x equals negative 1, f of negative 1 is negative 1, so negative 1, negative 1 is on the graph. If x equals 0, f of 0 is 2, so 0, 2 is on the graph. If x equals 1, f of 1 is 5, so 1, 5 is on the graph. If x equals 2, f of 2 is 4, so 2, 4 is on the graph. We could connect the dots, but we have no evidence that there are any other ordered pairs, x, y, where y equals f of x. And so, at this point, we only know that the graph consists of these five discrete points. And again, if it's not written down, it didn't happen, so we should label this as the graph of y equals f of x. An important thing to be able to do is to be able to read values off the graph. So, let's say we have the graph of y equals f of x. We want to find f of 3. So, it's important to remember, equals means replaceable. We want to find f of 3. Since this is a graph of y equals f of x, we can replace x with 3. And so, f of 3 is the y-coordinate of the point of the graph where x is equal to 3. So, we look on the graph and we see the graph passes through the point 3, 5. So, x equals 3, y equals 5, but equals means replaceable. y is equal to f of x, so f of x is equal to 5. But equals means replaceable. x is equal to 3, so we can replace x with 3 and get f of 3 equals 5. Another way we can use this as the following. The graph is shown. Let's solve f of x equals 0. So, we want to solve f of x equals 0. Equals means replaceable. y is equal to f of x, so that's y equals 0. And we see the graph passes through two points where y is equal to 0. The points negative 2, 0, and 3, 0. At negative 2, 0, x is negative 2, y is 0. So, y is equal to 0. Equals means replaceable. y is equal to f of x, so f of x equals 0. But equals means replaceable. x is equal to minus 2, so replacing x with minus 2, we get f of minus 2 equals 0. And so we can say that x equals negative 2 solves f of x equals 0. Or f of x equals 0 when x equals minus 2. But wait, there's more. That's second point 3, 0. At 3, 0, x is equal to 3. y is equal to 0. Equals means replaceable. So, y is equal to f of x, so we can replace y with f of x and get f of x equals 0. Equals means replaceable. x is equal to 3, so we can replace x with 3 and get f of 3 equals 0. And so we can say x equals 3 solves f of x equals 0, which gives us a second solution. Now, because the accuracy of reading numbers off a graph is limited, then we're often more interested in more general questions about the values of functions. So, for example, the graph of y equals f of x is shown. We might be interested in when f of x is greater than 0. And so we want f of x greater than 0, but equals means replaceable. y is equal to f of x, so I can replace f of x with y. And so we want to find where y is greater than 0. But a point has y greater than 0 when it is above the x-axis. And so all of these points will have y greater than 0. And we can describe this in interval notation. We see that for x in the interval 2 to 5, y is greater than 0, and so f of x is greater than 0.


because you know I know it but how'd you know I know that I didn't want I didn't want the wire knowing something that you didn't I just say I don't know check with you let me check they tell me it's always good business say let me check on that when G follows I'd like to help you but I'll have to check it okay cuz you're not supposed to wait my mind okay


Okay, it's one thing to verbally phrase the purpose in the conclusion and it's another thing to really see the full implications of it So let's work with Russell's theory a little bit here. Let's work with this conclusion. Anyway, so we have this thing here, right? They have this thing here. Um What are the appearances of this thing? What do you get? What do you see? You know with century information


So we're talking to Dean and kind of just getting his evaluation of the evolution of this defense and I would love your opinion too on kind of how you've seen this defensive evolve from maybe what y'all thought you would be in training Sam to kind of what you are now. I feel like, you know, we got better every week, you know, putting ourselves in a position to have some success and making some big plays and nice turnovers and which is good and, you know, it's just been a learning process, you know, for everybody, whether it's the players, coaches, you know, been learning about us, us learning the scheme more week in and week out, making necessary adjustments. So I mean, it's been a progress, you know, so I don't know if I could like answer it like as far as like from what I would think evolution wise from beginning to now because I mean, when it be in the first year, you don't really know. You kind of trying to establish an identity type thing and but, you know, it's been good to have some growth. Do you feel as though kind of coming, you know, 2021 being in first year of the system and you look ahead to maybe 2022 and feeling more confident and comfortable in this game? Do you feel like that will maybe, I don't know, change the mentality of this defense a little bit to kind of feel more comfortable in what Dean has installed in this year?  So I mean, it's like, you know, I'm sure when the more somebody's in the system, the better stuff get, you know, with players, new players, however, may go, but I'm just not in a position to really speak on 2022. With this game coming up, seeing Taysom Hill again, what does that kind of add to y'all's play that you maybe didn't have the last time you saw these happen?  That don't mean that every time he's going to run like say like, hey, they wildcat guy a week and somebody else playing quarterback kind of, you know, have a kind of idea what's going on, but with him being in for every snap just got to be ready for everything, you know.  So definitely, definitely a dynamic player and highly competitive guy and, you know, got it ready to go. And then for you personally, you've probably been asked this before, but I would love to hear it from you. But I was watching when you were mic'd up against the Lions and there's this one moment where you were tripling and you're like, damn, you'll have got to block anybody else. From your perspective, I mean, what does that kind of make you feel when you have offensive lines in the league of being a guy who honestly has to be double team, sometimes triple team? What does that kind of feel for you at this point in your career?   It's really just talking trash, you know, with the other guys, you know what I'm saying?   So I was like, it's kind of said that just not even, not knowing what I'm saying, but whatever.  And that's what you want, you know what I'm saying? You want to be a guy that a team got to account for, you know what I'm saying? And demand, you know, that kind of attention, respect, whatever it may be. And it's just up to me to be able to handle it, you know what I'm saying? And get through whether it's in a run game, pass game, you know, hold it down and do what I got to do.    I think it's interesting because like when it comes to the idea of respect, I know when we were talking to AJ at some point in time during the season, he was talking about, well, like, if you're a corner, if your stats aren't where they're supposed to be, but guys are choosing not to throw you away, that in and of itself is a sign of respect.   But that's just as much a good sign of what you're doing as any number. Oh, yeah, absolutely.    Yeah, yeah, I just wanted to pick on the, the culture, you know, foundation you all to try to establish this first year. You know, you got a game left, but how important is that being the way you feel it, that is. You know, definitely, we just want to finish strong, you know, against, against the Saints. Disappointed we didn't make it to the postseason, but at the end of the day, you know, we still got some football to play, and group, group full of competitive guys that want to do good. And, you know, once the season over, you look back and evaluate and see some of the things, you know, because we wanted to get done, got done, and not with things to build on.  So, just being in it, you know, it's been so focused on just week by week trying to get a win, get better. So, as far as looking at the big picture of things, it's going to take a little time to decompress and look back on it, but, you know, while you're in it, right now, I'm just, you know, focusing on the Saints. Cool. Yep. Thank you.


So I think we started running out of gas this afternoon Last session. We were heavily populated this one. We're sparsely populated. So we'll wait until the presentation comes up and I neglected to introduce myself Paul Gruber All right, well, you're we're gonna go with orange first Hello, I'm Karen knee from American University and Yeah, I took notes on our discussion. So we first discussed the question of in areas of severe groundwater depletion What steps may be taken to manage groundwater including recharge? The most basic thing we talked about was to have better monitoring because it's very hard to manage a resource without accurate information We then talked about focusing on the three are so reducing water use reusing the water and Recycling wastewater, which is similar to reusing it. I guess it's kind of different ways of saying the same thing and then reducing water use we spent quite a while talking about how human behavior in this area can actually be kind of complicated, so I don't recall the name of this economic paradox, but we talked about an economic paradox where you increase efficiency and instead of using less of the resource in the end you actually end up using more because then that's a Jebens paradox Yeah, there you go Because people they're like, oh we have this extra water. We're gonna expand cultivation We're gonna grow more water-intensive crops now and then it actually can make the situation worse And there's a lot of perverse incentive structures like that that can occur And so understanding the context in which the people who are actually making the decisions are making them and what What influences them instead of just going from like theoretical things like if we have a more efficient Irrigation system will save water is good We discussed how technological and economic adjustments can help so implementing Better technologies where less water is lost shifting to higher value or less water-intensive crops in times of drought but all of this again requires like Understanding the producers and coordinating with them successfully and and actually being able to influence their behavior The way you you want which doesn't always happen like if you look at the case of the drought in California Sometimes people do surprising things Someone mentioned looking at success stories such as Israel where people have achieved very high productivity and returns on investment of their water by really focusing on Technology and kind of trying to replicate that And also seeking intelligent ways to recharge aquifers looking for high permeability geologic structures that connect to them How do we advance to the next slide? Oh? Wow, and this is not So I think the first there's a lot of similarity again between our discussion group and the other discussion group And I think we started with how do we better? manage demand and supply What can we do to affect crop selection irrigation efficiency water reuse? And encourage more affect effective and efficient water reuse schemes and technologies um Engineering solutions taking water from water rich areas to water poor areas was something that was considered as a way to more effectively manage groundwater All depends on the cost associated with that Looking at what NGA can do to help out along those lines Is providing support for databases of groundwater conflict maps around the world We probably have groundwater conflicts here in the United States, but we don't talk about those as much and Look at conflicts not just from a water quantity perspective, but quality restraints on groundwater issues as well and overall need to increase the education of the user community general public as well as the industrial and agricultural use users I Was suggested that we look at trying to rebuild infrastructure in a more sustainable way and that focused on things like integrated stormwater management as We rebuild communities to encourage resilience associated with climate change how do we improve recharge throughout the area through things like decreasing the use of impervious services services and increasing infiltration Lot of new buildings are being developed in that area, but probably not enough to have much of an impact on Looking at ways to more effectively optimize groundwater reuse and recharge which is emerging in more emerging in more and more areas around the country it's heavily being promoted in California, Florida's been doing it for a while and we need models to do this more effectively and in areas that are flood prone How could we encourage the use of that excess surface water to I guess improve groundwater storage and also look at the impacts to groundwater quality where we do have Salt water that's encroaching on the land surface as opposed as Associated with sea level rise How does that affect groundwater quality and groundwater use in general? so That's our That's all we can come up with today. I think Okay, so then we talked a little bit about what remote sensing technologies could be used to help identify and track water management approaches Our discussion on this question was considerably shorter We first talked about in SAR which can measure changes in surface elevation and deformation and so if your groundwater depletion is causing subsidence you can measure it that way, but We also realized that subsidence does not always have a consistent relationship with groundwater depletion You can have subsidence for other reasons besides groundwater depletion and in some formations You can deplete the groundwater and you're not going to see that much subsidence. So you kind of need to understand the geologic context and We also discussed how you can look at patterns of change in soil moisture Which can be detected through remote sensing and use that to infer information about water management approaches So well, I think our discussion was a little bit broader. Thanks to our facilitator You know we he stressed several times remote sensing is not just not satellite sensors and What can we do to encourage more low-tech solutions that are closer to the ground? and closer to in situ Monitoring such as utilizing citizen science in SAR seems to be the technology of choice for a lot of things But we tried to focus on other types of technologies that can help with the remote sensing So is there other high-resolution thermal technologies optical and radar solutions that we Can Develop to help us better understand recharge patterns for groundwater Should we be looking at things like grid networks of sensors? Again have high schools adopt the well program back to the citizen science and Utilizing better accuracy high accuracy sensors to send signals from it in situ monitoring locations Can we talk to Well and pump manufacturers and how can they integrate? remote sensing technologies into their pumps that could be utilized to help with Developing data for groundwater management and then looking at phone apps and trackers for water use and conservation and raise awareness I Think there's a lot of folks that are looking at big data applications using for economic projections, and we should be looking at those kinds of capabilities on the water use and Water conservation side as well Okay, and the next topic was how could NGA resources be leveraged to advance Work in identifying and interpreting changes in water management strategies and So we first recognize that NGA generates data and also serves as a repository for data Sometimes they purchase their data from commercial satellites, and sometimes if the data comes from a private source There's certain limitations on how it can be used and distributed I Guess we discussed the need to consider the broader context and the food water energy nexus so the fact that groundwater stress can often result from an increase in energy availability or A desire to produce more food to meet you know to meet people's food needs And then we just talked about how NGA's main role is to provide information to policy makers and war fighters Translate science to non-specialists and advise policy makers, but they don't make or promote specific policies So we started from the big picture reengineering act agriculture. I don't know if NGA can play a role in that But that was a topic of discussion that we had identified other similar Discussions about NGA's role and interface with other agencies state and local go governments Helping to figure out better ways of reusing water and managing the water reuse activities Education seemed to come up regularly in our discussions on this topic How do we think about overall water policy educating users not just the regulators and policy makers and need to identify what investments have already been made in Educational resources and how to take better advantage of that. I think looking at What NGA is doing and can they do to develop sensors for looking at microbial water quality globally because that has a big impact on water use and Trying to do more with the commercial sector On looking at the sensor technologies that they were developing not all-specific and NGA, but we were looking at a variety of ways of increasing sensor capability and technology By working more collaboratively with other Sensor developers and there's a lot happening on the commercial side in agriculture that we may not be aware of Okay, and then the last one was to talk about successful collaboration opportunities and promising partnerships And so we were I think we had maybe also been losing steam. I don't know we talked about working with International agreements there was one example of a collaboration with Germany to Train the scientists to produce a high quality elevation data set up to our Standards and also we talked about how land use modeling based on SWAT could be used to predict how different changes in land use such as Adopting green infrastructure could improve groundwater recharge But yeah, I think we we mostly just focused on like working collaboratively with scientists in other countries training them and broadening data coverage globally So we took a similar approach obviously looking at transnational Aquifers what can we do to encourage multi-agency efforts to develop more effective Treaties and water management techniques to avoid conflict Is there an opportunity for an international organization to serve as a repository and host of groundwater data? and thought about Supporting more collaborative efforts on groundwater diplomacy is that an emerging area probably is and talked a little bit about Who's the right organization to develop some of those? questions and start focusing on those collaborative efforts and I Think several folks in the room talked about efforts that are already going on with the UN and Maybe that might be an appropriate organization To help develop these multi-agency transnational boundary treaties and management operation techniques So I think that covers it and I think we're Ready for closing remarks any questions to these breakout rapidures If not, thank you so very much


Welcome back to my channel. So today we're gonna do some meal prepping and we're gonna do some snacks. And the video today is a little bit different in the fact that I'm actually doing this in the evening. It's getting a little later, so we're gonna be cooking as the sun goes down. And to be honest, I've had a really long day. I don't really feel like doing this, but I think that if I film it, it will motivate you guys. So it's gonna be me to film. We can motivate each other. And the other reason I wanted to do this is because I know that there's a lot of parents out there or even maybe if you're not a parent, but you're doing meal prepping for yourself and your work all day and you feel like you just can't squeeze it in. And if you take one night out of the week and just plow into a nice list of stuff, you guys can have a lot of things stocked up in your freezer and your refrigerator. Some of these things are just something that will last a few days. And some of these things you could put in the freezer and they would last a while. So let's get into the kitchen and let's get started. I'm gonna start out with making some lemon cookies. I'm really excited about doing this because it's been a few years since I've made lemon cookies. And this version is gonna be a gluten-free version. I will leave the recipe links below, like always. And it seems pretty simple. I think I'll be able to whip these up pretty fast and get them popped in the oven. I'm in cookie dough, chilling in the refrigerator. It has to sit and kind of get a little more doughy, get cold in there so that I can roll it in the powdered sugar, which of course is the iconic part to a good lemon cookie. And while it's doing that, I'm actually going to make some keto-friendly turkey pinwheels. They're super simple, but they do include bacon bits. So I'm gonna go ahead and put some bacon in the air fryer and get that frying up because it makes the best bacon and it makes really good bacon that you can crunch up for bacon bits. Okay, if you've never done this before, I've never done this before. This is gonna be a new technique for everybody involved. So in the recipe for these pinwheels, what she does is she says to take six ounces of cream cheese, put it between two pieces of saran wrap or like plastic wrap and then roll it out flat. So hopefully this isn't like some kind of a comical moment and it really does work. I'm just kind of wondering if the saran wrap can hold up to getting rolled out or if it's gonna tear or what's gonna happen. So let's see. I'd say it was pretty successful. We had one little puncture here and I think there's a small one somewhere here, but I think it's gonna work out well.  This is a pretty cool concept and I definitely think I'm going to make other variations of this, but this one's supposed to be down the line of like a chicken bacon ranch flavor. So now you put it in the refrigerator. You let it chill, get that cream cheese all firm again and then we will be slicing it up a little bit later. Next, I gotta get some hard-boiled eggs boiling here for another snack that I'm gonna show you in just a little bit, but I'm gonna boil up a entire dozen. Even if we end up with some extras, there's something that are nice to have on hand and the girls really like these as well. It's going to be a sweet snack and it's often something that we make around Christmas time or in the winter time, but it's called Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow. It's the same thing. So basically I have a cup of chocolate chips here. I'm gonna mix in a cup of peanut butter, pop it in the microwave and get it all melted together. Now that this is all melted and put together, I'm going to put some cereal. I'm not sure if my bowl is honestly big enough. I may need to pull out a bigger bowl, but I'm going to put some of the Czechs or rice cereal. This is just an off-brand in the bottom and then add a little bit of the chocolate, kind of layering it in so that I can stir it around. Another little thing that's great about this as long as you make sure that your peanut butter and your chocolate chips are gluten-free. This is an awesome gluten-free treat option. I had to turn on overhead lights, but I put the Muddy Buddies in the refrigerator just to cool them down because you are going to add powdered sugar to them to make them kind of like powdery. And I think that's why they get called Puppy Chow because they kind of look a little bit like dog food in some sense till they're done. Anyway, so they're cooling and then I actually pulled out the lemon cookie dough and I'm going to go ahead and scoop them up and get them in the oven. I have the eggs. Actually, I pulled them out of my little colander thing and put them back in the pan. They were in, put ice over them so that they could cool down quickly. Everything I'm doing right now and make a comment about these pinwheels, they are so ridiculously good. Like I know that Corey is going to love these. He loves bacon ranch flavor and these are so good. So basically the idea is that if you like cucumber, you eat them like this on the top of the cucumber and they just make a nice bite-sized snack and they're easy to keep in the refrigerator. They would probably keep for at least a few days. They're just super good and you could do different variations and they're very keto friendly. So I just had to stop that if you're going to make anything out of this video, you should totally make these. They're so good. All right, so if you can guess by now, I am making up some egg salad and when I make egg salad, I literally just cut up some eggs, our boiled eggs, put in a nice scoop of mayo and squirt in some mustard and mix it all together and what I'm actually going to do with these to make them kind of more snackable, if you want to call it that, I'm going to fill up some celery with the egg salad and put them in a container and put them in the fridge so there's something easy I can just grab out and go and eat over the next couple days and then whenever I'm done doing that, I'm going to shake a little paprika over that. I just think paprika goes so good with hard boiled eggs for some reason. It's a flavor combination that I think is really good. You know what, I'm just going to work with it anyway.   So if you can make things that have a lot of fat in them like with nut butters or butter or that kind of thing, there's just like little bites, you can make them with cream cheese, you can make them all different kinds of ways. Well, the other day I was on Pinterest and I found a recipe for a churro inspired fat bomb, which to me sounds amazing. Cinnamon and sugar and all the yumminess. So I'm going to go ahead and whip up the base, which is like almond flour and some swerve sweetener and that kind of thing. So I'm going to mix all of that up and then put it in the refrigerator. Then I'm going to mix up like a cinnamon sugar mixture. I'll show you how that is and then pour them in it. I'll put it in the freezer and now I'm going to kind of make a cinnamon sugar combination. So this brand is a pretty keto friendly sweetener. It's one that I really like and they do make a brown sugar version of this but the store was out, they didn't carry that version of it. So I'm going to give you a little hack here if you're somebody that does keto and uses other sweeteners. So basically I'm going to put the granular version of this into a bowl and then I'm just going to put literally like a drop of molasses in it and that will give it the brown sugar kind of flavor and then I'm going to mix in the cinnamon. For today, but thanks a lot for hanging out with me.  So you could do like those lemon cookies and just use regular flour in place of the gluten-free flour. I want to get better at making my own snacks for the girls and not just always buying or like Cory and I too. Not just always buying chips and things like that to have around but knowing that I made it from scratch, I know what's in it. I can be a little more picky about what ingredients go in it and I just feel better all around feeding those kinds of things to my family. If you're new here, I'd love it if you subscribed and joined my channel. I do a lot of cooking and meal prep and freezer prep and that kind of thing. Don't forget to give this video a like, comment below. Let me know which recipe looked the best to you and which one you want to try and I'll see you guys in my next video.


Madual 29 change in taste preferences and agricultural products छब हम दिसक्स करते हैं demand for agricultural products को तो उस्ती demand की determination में different factors कऱोल है उन्व्फलिड़को हम economic factors की under categorize करते में या हम उने non economic factors में categorize करते मैं छब हम केपते हैं ki economic factors ये mostly refer करते हैं उस product की prize को यह रेफर करते हैं उसे मिल्ती जुल्ती चीजों की प्राइसिज के साथ यह रेफर करते हैं के वटिस दी कंजुमर्स इंखम देकी जब आप नाँन इक्नोमिक फैक्टर्स की बात करोगें इस में हम बात करते हैं अबावोड कंपोजिशन अप दी पापूलेश्यां तो और वोड करते हैं लोगों के रहीं सहें की फिर साथ साथ, और कोझों से फैक्टरच अथ यह टेक्नोलगिकल फैक्टरक हा भी र dobreद्टान यह समें अदवीर्टाईट्टान ये जो सारे प्यक्टर्स हम ने लिस्ट किये, के जी पापूलेशन की खमपोजिशन किया है, लोगों का एटीटिटूर किया है, तुवर्ज, हेल्त, और नुट्रीशन, लोगों की फूर सेट्टी के बारे में क्या प्रसेप्ष्यन है, ये अटीटिटूर है, इन सब फैक्ट्टूर को हम क्या केटें, दीजार नुन इक्नोमिक पैक्टर्स, वायल प्राइस, औन प्राइस, प्राइस अप खमप्ट्ट्टूर, और और इक्नोमिक पैक्टर्स है, इस सारे को अंडर स्टन्ट करने के लिए, हम कोई भी एक अगरी कल्चल्ट्टूर कोन सेट्ट्टूर कर लिट्टें, स्पोस मैं कहत्ता हूँ, के जी वीर स्टर्टिंग, दीमेंड फार वीट बाई कनजुमर, कौन्ट्टी दिमेंड फार वीट किस चीस का फुंट्ट्ट्ट्टूर है, ची वत is the price of wheat in the market. वीट से रेटेद कोन से या इतम है, मेरी आजम्शन है, के जी राइस is an item that is very close related to wheat. वीट के people are using rice as a substitute of wheat. के if there is any change in the price of substitute, के if there is any change in the price of rice, क्या करेगा? वो आपकी गंदम् की दिमेंड को भी फैक्ट करेगा. फिर एक और चीज जो है, वो income of the consumer is also playing some role in the demand for wheat. जब हम बात करते है, change in taste and preferences it basically refers to all non-economic factors. अब दन एकनोमिक फैक्टर्स में पहला फैक्टर क्या था? आप हैल आप फैक्टर क्या ता? रज़न फैक्टर ृथिकुची. अंकुच अद इते कि दब कि इस फैक्टर की चीज रदना था? इस अप उस द़य आतिका. आप आ पापबबदती क्या दि्में है दब बी अप पहलीटुग करेंगा. अप भी भात करेंगा? अगर हम कुछ इस पैट्टन पर बात करने, कैजी जवान लोगों के बादनी में शेर जियादा है, तो क्या करेंगे, अगर मैंद भी पोस्ट्विबल, कैजी वो फास्ट वोड बरगर, पीजदा टाईप चीज़े इस्वाल वहांपे जियादा हो, अगर मेरी अजम्ष्यन है के in the population, kids जियादा है, बच्चों की तदाध जियादा है, तो क्या होगा, it might be possible there is increase in consumption of milk. So any change in the distribution of the population has some impact on the demand for commodities. Depending upon the nature of the commodities, what are the requirements of that particular age group. When we talk about attitude towards nutrition and health, people's attitude changes because of their attitude towards nutrition and health. When people were aware that smoking causes some type of adverse impact on their health. What will happen? There is decreasing smoking over a period of time. On the same pattern, if my assumption is that the demand for red meat is beef, what is happening because of it causes heart diseases, what will happen? Because of attitude towards nutrition and health, people will decrease the consumption of red meat. On the same pattern, I can also say that the soft drinks are also having negative impact on people's health. On the basis of medical research, again because of bad impact of soft drinks, because of health and nutritional concerns, there is decrease in demand for soft drinks. When we talk about food safety, we talk about pesticides and herbicide residues in crops. If a crop contains residues of pesticides and herbicides, people will decrease the consumption of that particular commodity. If I know that this particular livestock food contains antibiotics and hormones as a residues, I will not prefer to purchase that particular commodity. If I talk about two types of chemicals in the market, there are two qualities of milk in the market. One is that it involves certain types of the hormones, that have some negative impact on the health of the people. And what is that? That is pure organic milk. Milk that is desirable for the health of the people. So, on which side will we go? Because of the food safety concerns, if organic milk is affordable for me, I will try to purchase that particular milk, that is without hormones or any antibiotics. On the same pattern, if we talk about the lifestyle, because of changing the lifestyle of the people, there is change in demand for agricultural products. Historically, women's participation in labour force increases. Because of that increase in labour force participation, because of increase of women's participation in labour force, what happened? That demand for fast food increases. That women have no time to cook food at their homes. So, on which side did we go? That we increased demand for fast food. On the same pattern, if we talk about technology reference, because of availability of the technology, it might be possible there is decrease in household food preparations. You have ready to cook items available, what are you doing? We do not want to do that at home. Because of change in factors related to food safety, lifestyle and technology, there is change in preferences of the consumer. Now, if we talk about other factors, which affect the preference of the consumer, there is also advertising. Because of advertising and promotion, it might be possible there is increase in consumption of a particular category of food and lifestyle. For example, if I have an advertisement on this pattern, that organic food is very good for health, while inorganic food has adverse impact on the health of the people, then what will we do? Because of that particular influence of advertising, we will increase the consumption of organic food, if that food is affordable for me. What is advertising? You can say that it is a very big influencer in the market who motivates people to consume a particular category of commodity. Then we talk about because of advertising, what happened? There is increasing demand for packed food. If advertising is good for health, packed food is ready to cook, is it to cook, then what will happen? Because of that advertisement influence, people will move towards the packed food items. Then on the same pattern, demand for organic fruits and vegetables is also increasing. Again, what is the factor of advertising? Advertising will also play a role. At the same time, some health and nutritional impacts of organic food on the health of the people. Then when we talk, if I know that this is the milk that is free of hormones, what is available in the market? There are 5-7 brands available in the market, but there is only one milk that claims this is hormonal free milk. Where will I get awareness? Again from advertisement, because of that advertising and promotion, I will try to buy a milk that is free to hormones. In fact, all the non-economic factors will influence each other. Health safety is also coming along, your advertising is also coming along, it might be possible that health safety will motivate you and your advertising will take you on the other side, it might be possible it will create certain type of confusion among consumers. And what does rational consumer do? It always makes decision on the basis of available information. What will rational consumer do? He will choose only that particular combination, only demand for that particular commodity that will maximizes satisfaction. Thank you very much.
