Genre. Now, this is surprising to me. This is surprising.  I bet you thought you'd seen the last to me. Hi, everyone. Welcome back to my channel. I hope you are well. Today we're doing a very exciting video. We're going to be doing my quarterly wrap-up. So I don't do monthly wrap-ups just because I feel like I vlog pretty much every week, doing themed vlogs. And so, like, you've seen everything I've read. So why would you care? I'm here to tell you right now. We don't care. Let me tell you. Let me tell you. We don't care. I like the idea of doing quarterly wrap-ups where we go through, like, the statistics of what I've read, particularly, and then kind of go through maybe the worst and best books I've read. So this is what I'm going to be doing every quarter. Sadly, I don't have the books I've read with me because they're all back at home on my bookshelves. So this is my TBR instead. I think I probably should have, like, bulked them up a bit, you know, put them on something that they reached here because there's all this wasted space. And I gotta confess something. I let the slide down a bit. I didn't properly track my reading this month. Like I said, in my Girls of the Year I was going to. But yeah, I want to track my reading. I've never tracked my reading before. I want to track how many pages I'm reading, how many five stars, four stars, three stars I'm giving out. I want to track the kinds of authors I'm reading. I don't really have a reason. A future quarter of the wrap-ups will have loads more steps to go through. But in this, we kind of just got the basic ones. For those of you that watched my end of year video last year, you'll know that I do kind of like an award where I go through loads of categories and, like, say which book fits that category. But in this wrap-up, we're only going to be doing most disappointing, most surprising, worst, and, like, my top three books. I may be cheating on the top three books, maybe. You can probably guess what I'm going to do already. In the month of January to March, I read a total of 35 books, which is the most I've ever read in three months. Considering I read 80 books last year, and that was like a crazy number to me, to have read almost half of that in just three months is pretty crazy. I would have hit half. I would have hit 40 if I hadn't had, like, a mini reading slump for about, like, two or three weeks in March. I still managed to read quite a lot in March. I think I read loads at the beginning. It would have been my best reading month if I hadn't have had that slump. I'm hoping to make it even more this next quarter because, like, we don't, you know, go backwards. We go forwards in this house. I'll get over your self-love, silly car. Let's get into the star ratings first. So I gave out two one-star books, four two-star books, eight three-star books, 13 four-star books, and nine five-star books. I would say it was a pretty good reading period. I gave out a lot of four stars. Four stars were my biggest, you know, rating. I'd say usually it is going to be like four or three stars, but I tend to rate quite positively, I think. I'm trying to, you know, not rate as positively. I'm trying to be a bit harsh sometimes and be a bit more critical because sometimes I think I just give out the four stars way too easily. Six of those five stars are from two different series. So if I hadn't, did you see how I had to stop myself saying series is there? I always say series is, and then I hate myself for it. Six of those nine are from two different series. If I hadn't have read those series, I feel like it wouldn't have been as great a reading month. I only gave out one one-star, I think, last year and I've already given out two in the first three months. So I think that shows I'm trying to be more critical. Genre. Now this is surprising to me. This is surprising.  I bet you thought you'd seen the last to me. I read three sci-fi books, five graphic novels, seven mystery books, two historical fiction, one horror, four nonfiction, seven fantasy, four contemporary, one poetry, and one romance. Here, what surprises me is mystery. So I read quite a lot of thrillers, typically, and I haven't read anything I would class as a thriller in these three months. I know mystery and thriller often group together and it can be a bit like the lines of blood, but literally all of those seven are murder mysteries, agatha Christie style, and so I don't see them as thrillers. I see them as mysteries. I think that number is so high because A, I did a video where I read just murder mystery books and I think I read four books in that video so like that's going to really skew the results and I also listened to quite a few agatha Christie audiobooks. I would say fantasy is probably the genre I read the most. Just because I'm trying to keep up on like what's popular on booktube, I'm pretty eclectic. I think this shows in the genres that I read. I don't typically stick to one genre. The surprise for me there is no thrillers, but all those mysteries. Yeah, I'm just really into murder mysteries at the moment. So if you've got any recommendations for murder mystery books, particularly like modern ones, agatha Christie style, then I'm ready. Format, I read 12 audiobooks, 21 physical books, and two ebooks. So the two ebooks were for my girl of fire and thorns read along that I was participating in. The covers for that, the UK covers are ugly. I was like, I'm not going to buy them. I'm not going to buy them. I could just have them on ebook. And actually the experience of reading it on ebook has been great. I really enjoy reading ebooks. So I'm going to try and do more. Some of those audiobooks, some of those 12 audiobooks, I did have the ebook accessible as well, maybe three of them. But I mainly read them on audiobooks, so I decided to count them there. I do like the majority of my reading to be physical. 60% of my books I read this quarter were physical. I see my physical books as my main TBR and then kind of like audiobooks I usually pick up on a whim, ebooks I usually pick up on a whim. So for me, I see these books as like my main books to get to. And then lastly, we have got kind of like the age group. I read 18 YA, 13 adult and 4 middle grade. So that actually surprised me. I thought I read a much more even split of YA and adult fiction, but over half of the books I read this quarter were YA. I guess a lot of the series that I'm reading at the moment are YA. It does surprise me, but I suppose it makes sense. But I definitely want to read more adult fiction, but again YA is a stuff that I think is more hyped up on Booktube. And so I feel more of a duty to read it. Now let's get into talking about some of the books that I read this quarter. So first, I want to go with the most disappointing book. And I think that would have to be Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. This is obviously one of the most hyped up books. Everyone loves it. And I gave it two stars. I thought I was gonna love it. And then I read it and I didn't like it at all. It was actually kind of the first proper romance book I've read. I want to do a video soon where I read loads of romance books and try and like actually get into the genre because for some reason I just never read romance. Sometimes even when I read fantasy books or you know whatever type of book where there is a romance in it, I'm like not bothered with the romance. Sometimes I am. But most of the time I could take it or leave it. It's not what I'm there for. So if you have any romance recommendations you think I would like, let me know. With this book, and I've seen a few treats about it like recently the past couple of days kind of critiquing this view. This story is a romance between Alex who is the son of the president of the United States and Henry who is the prince of England. And they kind of, it's kind of enemies to lovers but that part really doesn't last very long which was another thing I didn't like. I wanted them to be enemies and have that kind of like frictious, is that a word? Difficult relationship for much longer. It kind of got blown under the carpet very fast. But I also felt like Henry wasn't a real person.  Like I am not a big fan of the British royal family. This is from Architect. Would love to see Princess Diana. Like currently, I think that's what they mean. They would love to meet Princess Diana. And I got to say she was the people's princess and I would love to see her too. Probably pick her brain about a lot of things. Hear her, you know, thoughts on things. Unfortunately, I don't know if you have kept up with the news but she did pass quite a while ago. But he was such a caricature that to me he didn't feel like a real person. And I think if the story is entirely a romance where the whole story is depending on the relationship between these two people and one of those people doesn't feel like a real person to me then I can't connect to your romance at all because it feels like you are dating a robot. Do you know what I mean? I think it would have been way more fun for Henry to be kind of like Prince Harry was back in the day, like a party animal rebelling against the royal family. I think that would have been such a cool storyline but instead he was just like talking as if he was from the 18th century which I just don't think is realistic.  Like don't ignore your colonialist roots. And listen, I ain't ignoring that. At a government and politics A level, I'm very aware.  Excuse me. I'm a genius. But I'm very aware of the kind of awful role the British royal family has played throughout history. But still, if you want me to care about your romance, you have to seem like real people. Yeah, I'm feeling good now, big brother. You can hear my voice. It's a little husky, bit sexy. I would say the most surprising book for me was The Strange Case of the Alchemist Daughter by Theodora Goss. I picked this up in that murder mystery video completely on a whim. I was, you know, scribble limits your reading choices after a certain amount of books you've read. And I was out of all books, like I could not find any murder mystery other than this. And so I just picked it up on a whim. I hadn't heard anything about it. And I loved it. I gave it five stars. We essentially follow Jacqueline Hyde's daughters and the female Frankenstein and loads of women from kind of 18th century literature reimagined with Sherlock and Holmes, trying to solve murder mysteries. And it's just a great time. My favorite thing about this book was that the girls are writing it. And throughout the story, it will break the fourth wall and they'll cut in. And it will be like almost like a scripted dialogue between them trying to change maybe what one of them is writing in the story or reacting to what someone has said in the story. And it just added a whole other layer to these characters and made you feel like you knew them even more. And I just loved it. I thought it was just such a fun book. The audiobook was incredible. I would really recommend the audiobooks for these. I think going forward, I want to own the physical book and listen to the audiobook at the same time just because I love these covers and I want to own them. I might even rebuy the first one. I don't know. I just was not expecting anything. I thought I was going to be a three star. I'm just going to read it for the video, but it was great. And I haven't heard anyone talk about it. Oh, and another thing was that to me, I've read Stalking Jack the Ripper. I haven't read any of the other series, rest of the series. But for me, this was like everything I wanted Stalking Jack the Ripper to be, you know, like having that reference in pop culture set in Victorian England. But this was so much better because you had a full cast of females with so many different attributes, so many different talents. Whereas in Stalking Jack the Ripper would often feel like the main character was like shaming girls that weren't like her or girls that wanted to be really feminine.  Whereas Hyde's daughter is really kind of like all over the place, like like to get in the dirt with the boys kind of thing. And I just like the mix of women that we had on show and how they became like a found family. I just think it's a great book and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. So in terms of the worst book I read this man, I don't think any of us are surprised. It has to be Rebel City of Indra by Kylie and Kendall Jenner. I read this for a video and it was just so bad. It's one of my favourite videos I've ever done. I feel like the video just perfectly captures me wanting to die. So I'll link the video down below if you want to go check it out. It's one of my favourite ones I've ever done. In this we follow, oh god, I don't even want to tell you. I've learned it from my memory but basically twins who are separated birth, one goes and lives like the princess life, one goes and lives underground. The plot is all over the place. And also you only get half the plot because it's like they've split the book in half and there's a sequel. I'm never reading that sequel but this book does not have a beginning, middle and end. It has a beginning and a middle, half a middle. It is one of the worst books I've ever read.  Some part of me, like I still keep up with the Kardashians occasionally.  Not proud of it but it happens. Has anyone got anything to say? And so for my top three books of the year, I did tell you I was gonna cheat. This is technically my top seven books of the year. Of the year? Year so far I guess. We're talking about two series in this because I just couldn't separate them. Don't ask me to. Like, we're just gonna talk about it. I make the rules. I make the rules. The first one I want to mention is the Illuminae series by Amy Coffman and Jay Kristoff. Illuminae was the first book I read this year and I tried to always pick the first book very carefully. Last year The Seek for History, which is actually... Can you see that? Yeah you can. The Seek, why is that on my TV? Last year The Seek for History was the first book I read and it was my favorite book of the year. So I want to keep this trend going and Illuminae was the first book I read this year and I adored it. I just thought this book is incredible. I wish I had vlogged it. I didn't vlog it and I feel like it's such a missed opportunity because that book was so good. I've read all books in series Gemina and Obsidio, other second and third book and I have just loved them all. This is basically a sci-fi series told through mixed media format. So we have drawings, we have diary entries, we have surveillance camera videos, we have online chats and it is just incredible. Like, the pacing of these books is unparalleled. They're like over 600 pages each but you'll read them like they're 200 pages. Like you just fly through it. The characters, the cast of characters that we meet are so good and the storyline is so good and basically it's one big overarching, arching, arching, arching, arching. I don't know. One big plot but we kind of follow different characters in each book because it make up different elements of that plot and it's just so good. Like it's just so good. Apologies if you can hear the bath running, that's Tom, he's having a bath. I always feel so jumped up on adrenaline after I read these books.  The endings these books, like the last 100 pages are always just crazy. Like they are just crazy. They're so fast paced and you feel like anything could happen because each book in the series follows different characters. There isn't that kind of thing where, you know, at the end of a normal series where you know the same characters flow throughout, you're like they're not gonna die, they're fine. Like when they're in peril but any of these characters could go. We could lose any of these characters because we can just kind of go and follow new ones. So the stakes always feel very very high, which is I think difficult to do in a series. And then next would have to be the Heart Stoppographic novel series. I'm so soft. So this is a series about Nick and Charlie meeting and falling in love and we're basically just following their relationship as it goes along. Just the way that Alice Oseman draws facial expressions is just like the cutest thing. I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. I did a video reading graphic novels for the first time. Before this year I'd never read any graphic novels and Heart Stopp is one of the video, one of the videos, one of the books I read in that video. And I just fell in love straight away and I'm now caught up in the series and I want the rest right now. I know she does publish it online before it gets published as a book but for me I just want to read them physically. I want to own them physically. This just relationship is so soft and they care for each other so much and it's just the nicest thing to watch but obviously it's dealing with some difficult topics like figuring out your sexuality, coming out and now in the third one we're starting to deal with topics like eating disorders. So it does cover serious topics but it does so in such a hopeful way and a positive way. Just nothing compares, like nothing compares. I don't know if a graphic novel, like I want to read more graphic novels this year but I don't know if a graphic novel will ever compare to this. Everyone always tells me off for mentioning Heart Stopp in every video but I honestly don't care. Like I honestly don't care. Like if you have not bought it at this point my job is non-existent.  And then my last favourite book, this is actually a single book, I promise, I'm not cheating on this one, would be The Guest List by Lucy Foley. So this is a murder mystery book, Agatha Christie style. It's set on a deserted remote island off the coast of Ireland, the country. The wedding is taking place and we find out on the first chapter that a body has been found at the wedding reception. We don't know who, we don't find out who for a large majority of the book. The book follows multiple perspectives, we follow the plus one, the bride, the bridesmaid, the maid of honour. Everyone has a lot of secrets, everyone has a lot of shit they ain't telling and we find out the secrets as it goes on and then we find out more secrets as it goes on and then ah it's so good and then we find out who's been murdered and then we find out who the killer is and it's just the best thing ever. I thought for a long time that the person who was killed was actually going to be the murderer, I was so off but the pacing in this book, the suspense, the atmosphere she creates on this remote island is just so good. I'm trying to get everyone I know to read this book and you know it's deep, you know it's deep when I saw, I saw it was a book of the month choice and I was like guys if anyone wants you know I'll pay, I'll pay so now I have the book of the month copy coming as well. The guest list, the guest list it's so good, it's so good, god I love this book. It actually hurts being separated by it, my mum is about to read it, she's just finishing off Obsidio, you can tell I should make her read all my five star rated books and then she's going to read the guest list and I just cannot wait, I just cannot wait. My brother's reading Illuminate, my dad's going to read Illuminate after him, my family the best. So there we have it, that was my quarterly wrap up, let me know if you enjoyed this and let me know if there's any specific stats you want me to track throughout the next three months just so I make sure I add them to my spreadsheet. I'm going to be tracking things like what topics are covered, author diversity, stuff like that so let me know if there's anything you want me to track and I will. Other than that thank you very much for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you very very soon with another one, bye!


Yeah, there we go. How Mike ready? Good Good afternoon everyone. My name is Matthew Fraser. I'm New York City's chief technology officer and commissioner of the Office of Tech and Innovation I'm thrilled to join you today in the Bronx for this historic link 5g event We are honored to have with us mayor Eric Adams. I thank the mayor for his outstanding leadership Vision and collaborative spirit in our shared quest to transform New York City Into a global tech and innovation hub I also want to recognize city bridge CEO Nick Holvin and His team for making link link 5g into a reality and to say a special hello to our local elected officials in attendance Including assembly member tapia Today's link 5g launches a mark in the next evolutionary step for link New York City Project that approximately seven years ago into its existence continues to fill a profound Need in the daily lives of million New Yorkers and visitors to our great city, but more importantly today's Link 5g launch represents a dramatic leap forward in New York City's efforts to bridge its long-standard digital divide during the pandemic New Yorkers who lacked access to internet face significant obstacles Signing up for vaccines staying in touch with family members completing virtual assignments for school Activities for us for those of us who was reliable connections might otherwise take for granted and the key here It's bringing technology and bringing this commodity level service to a community and to people that need it Imagine kids who went to school couldn't do school work when they went home after the pandemic because they didn't have access to the basic service And the city is wealthy and technology and technologically advanced as ours that pandemic revealed revealed the price of inaction To the individual aspirations community well-being and our city's ongoing economic recovery is too costly and too conscious Links 5g ultra-fast network and expanded coverage area will go a long way towards clearing the tech technological barriers So many New Yorkers encountered during the pandemic It's also potential to lift The entire neighborhood and communities that have languished as digital deserts amid this century's rapid tech advances Today's unveiling in the Bronx in very near future will be bringing the same promise to the residents of Brooklyn, Queen Staten Island in northern Manhattan 90% of the 2000 kiosk that will go live will go to the areas that's been historically under underserved Equities at the heart of the link g-roll 5g rollout and at the forefront of this administration's large larger tech vision I credit mere Adams for recognizing New York City must empower the people who have access to the lease To borrow one of the mayor's favorite New York City catchphrases the city of yes So now to introduce a man who needs no introduction the mayor of this great city the honorable mayor Eric Adams Good stuff good stuff good day. Good day for our city. You know during COVID We remember Just don't want to miss that picture During COVID we remember the lack of Having access to Wi-Fi was a real issue. And so there's a lot of learning moments out of COVID If you didn't have Wi-Fi, you could not do telemedicine You were not able to stay up to date on what was happening Around the services that were provided. You were not able to use translation services for those who speak English as a second language You were not allowed to do so many things to stay in communication with your loved one and family members because you were Isolated from home and so we knew that one of the missions we had to accomplish was how do we find a way To use our existing infrastructure To ensure that we have access to Wi-Fi high-speed broadband and that's what we're doing today So this is a great day not only for New York City, but it's a great day for communities like the Bronx, Brooklyn Staten Island Queens of many of these historical areas that have been denied access To the power of the internet and so I say this over and over again. I'm a five borough mayor I spent more time in the Bronx in six months than probably other Administrations have done and throughout their entire administration and I can say the same for Queens and Parts of Brooklyn I am all over the all over the borough and so New York Times got it, right? This is a man that just doesn't sleep I am out Speaking on behalf of New York is in this new link NYC 5g kiosk Is going to expand and improve mobile technology coverage all over the city this amazing tower Is the next generation from the first generation of we had with link NYC? Free Wi-Fi and free foam service for those who needed the most something that we often take for granted But the reality is That too many people don't have access to the foam service and don't have access to free Wi-Fi Accessible broadband and foam service. It's just not a luxury. It's a necessity Just as we need electricity and heat and water these same services They play a vital role in being able to carry out our function. So too is Wi-Fi What telephone service was was to our grandparents Wi-Fi is to this generation right now So we're stepping up working with our partners to make sure that communities in every borough has access to Free Wi-Fi in the service as the CTO mentioned we are We are Focusing on those areas 90% of these kiosks will go to areas of that need to services the most and have been Denied these digital Oasis have existed for far too long And we need to zero in and be intentional as we focus to get the equity that we need Long-range plan that is what we want to accomplish and when it comes to digital services We did to we know that too many are left behind and this administration is committed to Ensure that all New Yorkers have access and so I want to thank our partners I want to thank link NYC for their partnership for helping to provide us with this essential dentist digital Infrastructure, they have been great partners and all those who are here Nick Rob Bob President Vanessa Gibson who's not here with us right now The 70 women are tapia Clayton Bank CEO CEO and co-founder silicone Harlem Just the partnerships are coming together to make this happen to link us up together These kiosk from link NYC is going to assist us in accomplishing this task This is a campaign promise made campaign promise kept and we're going to Continue to keep those promises we made on a campaign trail. Love you Bronx, you know people don't know it But I'm just a I'm just a BX car So as the mirror just said it takes partnership to do this and we can't do it on our own So I'd like to introduce the CEO of link NYC and city bridge Nick Colvin All right, thank you CTO Frazier and thank you Mayor Adams and thank you everyone for joining us today But today marks an important milestone on the path to fulfilling our mission to bring digital connectivity for free To everyone in New York City's five boroughs As the mayor said seven years ago Lincoln see like NYC was founded on the belief that access to the internet is a fundamental human right Necessary to participate and access opportunities in today's modern society and as both the CTO and the mayor pointed out The COVID pandemic really underscored the truth of that belief, but not only that It laid stark the disparities that still exist in so many too many parts of our city Link NYC's vision to create the world's largest fastest free Wi-Fi system and telecommunications system in the world Has been upgraded to include the equitable deployment of 5g the next generation of mobile wireless connectivity I'm proud to stand here with all of our partners celebrating the launch of the first link 5g right here in the Bronx Link 5g will bring all the free services of link NYC free super fast Wi-Fi free nationwide phone calling free device charging and Access to city and nonprofit services and social support systems as well as host 5g equipment And as they both said 90% of these new kiosks will be deployed outside of the Manhattan core above 96th Street And in the outer boroughs just in those communities that need the access the most Just like building roads and bridges Investing in broadband infrastructure is absolutely critical to ensure long-term economic prosperity And with link 5g when it comes to neighborhoods it brings new fiber infrastructure fiber that can be used to provide high-speed high-quality broadband service options that don't exist today and together with 5g and link NYC's digital safety net this system is truly It's truly a comprehensive digital connectivity platform And a key component in bridging the digital divide in our city Thank you to Mayor Adams and CTO Frazier for all of your support and thank you to all of our partners including borough president Gibson Assemblymember Tapia Clayton banks our old friends the city of New York the office of technology and innovation And everyone who's who's really been a partner in our mission to provide this this service I'd like to thank everyone who believes that connect to our communities is absolutely fundamental to providing social and Economic equity in our great city and of course we couldn't do this without Zenfine Networks our fiber and wireless connectivity partner Together we will build the pathway to a more equitable digital future for all New Yorkers And with that I'd like to hand it off to Rob. Dakota our president of the wireless division to say a few remarks Hi, my name is Rob. Dakota. I'm the president for wireless at city bridge I'm also with Zenfine two of the entities who made this link 5g possible. I like to thank all The people who made this event possible including all the employees at Zenfine city bridge Comtec who worked many many long hours the last couple of years to make this happen I like to thank our local partners the Bronx community foundation I'd like to thank the Hunts Point community network who's going to help us out with the second link 5g Which is also right here in the Bronx over in Hunts Point than the 700 block We'd like to thank our partners in the city the office of technology and innovation the mayor's office the Bronx borough president's office They had the foresight to know that we could deploy this innovative structure here in New York and make a difference They have truly made this the city of yes At city bridge and also I'd like to thank Clayton who's here with the first Gig center we created and the Andrew Friedman house to a second gig center We're hoping to set the third in Brooklyn and the fourth in Queens shortly At city bridge it is our mission To spread free public Wi-Fi across New York City But we just don't talk to talk we walk the walk we've deployed over 2000 kiosk today That forms the largest public free Wi-Fi system in the United States, but we're just getting started Over the next few years. We're gonna double that from 2000 to 4000 But that doubling and another the kiosk because we're going to deploy our new upgraded link 5g And because we're gonna optimize the deployment for Wi-Fi coverage that doubling and the number of kiosk is gonna quadruple That is 4x increase the area that has free Wi-Fi here in New York City That means more free Wi-Fi for New Yorkers walking down the street That means more free Wi-Fi for New Yorkers standing over but bus stops like that one across the street in many instances That means more free Wi-Fi for New Yorkers in their workplace in their homes depending where they are If you're here at the new Andrews deli grocery, you're gonna get awesome free Wi-Fi You can also get one of the best breakfast sandwiches around so I recommend it highly If you live in any of these apartments overlooking us here today You're gonna be able to get free Wi-Fi Right that is an awesome achievement and that leads us to a next point which is for link 5g deployment We can't just do it in the commercial areas We need to go to residential areas as well because the digital divide in New York City is the biggest in the residential areas That's why we're planning to ask the Public Design Commission for approval to deploy link 5g in residential areas So that we can bring more free Wi-Fi to the people who need internet access the most Today is the kickoff for the link 5g The link 5g is going to provide all the same services as the existing link the free Wi-Fi the free phone calling The access the tablet that provides access to city services 9-1-1 We're gonna continue our program that allows local businesses to advertise for free We're gonna continue our program that allows local artists to display their works But link 5g is going to do more than that Link 5g is going to provide the underlying infrastructure necessary for the deployment of the fifth generation of mobile phone services here in New York What many of you know as 5g? 5g is going to enable you to get connected better 5g is going to enable you to get connected faster 5g is going to enable you to get connected more reliably than you can today 5g is going to be a revolution in mobile technology And we at city bridge in Zenfai we want to make the Bronx a leader in 5g here in the city And we want to make New York City a leader in 5g in the United States The lead of our mayor at city bridge in Zenfai we plan to get stuff done and The stuff we're gonna get done is ensuring there is more equitable access to internet across New York City and Making sure that New York City is the example that other cities in the u.s. Follow for 5g deployment. Thank you very much And to get this effort done we can't do it just from City Hall It requires partnership across the entire city and state I have the honor and privilege of introducing a simply member Tapia who will give us a few words today Thank You Commissioner. It's great to be here in this beautiful afternoon Not a cloud in the sky now.

I Thank me mayor Adams for this for his commitment to end these disparities and Coming to the Bronx To unveil the link the first link 5g kiosk in the city Fast reliable and affordable broadband is not a luxury It's an essential utility for learning working public health and to ensure All people can thrive, you know in the I'm from this neighborhood. This is my district I am a sampling member. You like a tapia and let me tell you during the pandemic Many of our community couldn't make an appointment to get vaccinated They didn't have internet They didn't have a smart phone to be able to do it and that's why this area where we are was the hardest hit By Colby Because I mean we couldn't do that We were able to make sure that we brought I mean just in the spot A vaccination Station so our neighbors can just walk they didn't have to make an appointment And they just walk and get the vaccine that they needed We were able to do to vaccinate like 3000 people like that 3000 of our elders of our people that didn't have access to the internet So this what is happening here today Is exactly what fighting equity inequity looks like Thank you mayor for taking us into consideration I know that you had to come to the Bronx because it's all right now I'm as an electro official not fighting for for equality and fighting for equity And we deserve the most that we we are the most that deserve so we need the most resources Thank you mayor Aiden for recognizing that and coming to the Bronx for the second day in a row Okay Thank you very much So one of the first things that we did at the start of the administration when we looked at digital equity And how we brought technology out as we also looked at how we bring technology to the youth and build skills And capabilities so that they can be competitive with the rest of the world and have a spot in the future workplace So to do that we partnered very closely with Silicon Harlem It's my pleasure to introduce you to Clayton banks who's going to give us a couple words Clayton, please Thank you very much and it says silicon Harlem, but I love the Bronx. Let's get that straight Um, I just want to quickly say you've heard a lot already and and I hope you really did absorb it because It's rare that we are able to put this kind of infrastructure In a community that often gets it later on in the process. So you're the first that's a big deal Here's the important thing You heard a lot about what has happened in the past and sort of almost a little bit about the president But what's really interesting What I think our mayor and our cto has really thought a lot about is not only solving some of the issues right now But thinking about what's coming next Everybody hear me What's coming next? And for us to be prepared for things that are coming next you've heard of things like metaverses You've heard about NFTs. You've heard about all types of new technologies and there's a much more coming web 3.0 We need this type of infrastructure To be prepared what I call future readiness So it's not only going to do a tremendous amount for our community here and around this city What our ongoing problems we've had around connectivity and mobility and all these type of things But this kind of infrastructure starts to secure your children your grandchildren Our seniors everyone's going to be prepared and not fall behind in this country New york is going to lead the way Under the guise of the mayor our great cto and me Anyway, this is a big honor to be here. I'm very proud That the uh cohort of people that came up with this link 5g that will be a game changer And certainly will secure our future. Thank you everybody Topics and a few off Quite well Let's answer that part and uh, that's a good idea to have cameras on here. I'm a big camera guy I believe public safety is important. We're not doing surveillance But right now we have police cameras scattered in different places. I think it will be cheaper to do here So i'm going to take that idea and explore it, but we're not abusing We're using tools to keep us safe We want to know that the timeline so the timeline for completion for the franchise is 2026 by the end of 2026 We're looking at that 4 000 kiosk deployment and of the second 2000 that's going out now Like it said 90 of that is going to be focused on the equity districts in terms of surveillance technology and The the cornerstone of this administration the cornerstone of city is is privacy, right? That's why part of the office of tech and innovation is the mayor's office of information privacy We want to ensure that the public feels safe leveraging these devices and their information is only used in ways that's acceptable In terms of surveillance tech, there's nothing in the devices outside of a camera, right in the event It's activated in the event that Periodically it's not on 24 by 7, but there's nothing other than that We have this tower Yes, yes a great great question and those free wi-fives came from our department of aging Because we want to put that technology in our older adult hands And so having something like this would give you the free wi-fi the original deal allowed wi-fi for a period of time But now it's going to be free wi-fi when you go into those senior centers in other places You're going to you're going to be able to use the free wi-fi Thank you And yes sounds like a plan Okay, let's see a few off-topics You got it How's it going? After six months now like what are maybe one or two things you might change about working at a city hall I'm sorry, just one or two like one or two things that you would change about working at a city hall um probably Have room nine be kinder to all the successes that I have For them to acknowledge them when you take when you take our ongoing fight of crime When you take that out of the room and you start to look at what we have done You have to say this administration really has figured out how to improve this city When you look at what we have done with earned income tax credit increase in 100,000 summer jobs dyslexia screening child care When you start to look at what we have done And not the crime battle that we're fighting because of the over proliferation of guns in our streets You have to say that this administration is really moving a needle in those things that have been impacting us for a long time So I think that if there's one thing I would change I will move room nine closer to my office so they can see you know, how we're doing some good stuff And the shooting in queens Yes, the the guy called the of the 9 11 And you know as the investigation is going to show he said some things That clearly advertised violence those officers responded of The gun was displayed of from my preliminary review rounds were discharged These officers responded to save the people that live in that community. I I say yes and I thank those officers for Placing themselves in harm's way of a person who was clear that he was going to harm people now When a police officer responds to a scene He doesn't have the Individuals medical records. He doesn't know if he's dealing with someone with a mental health crisis They can go to the information they have in front of them and in front of them they had an individual with a gun willing to use that gun and They took appropriate action based on what They are trained to do and because of that action. I think they saved the lives of residents in that community Listen, let me tell you something that's shooting in brooklyn the officer That carried out that shooting It was part of our neighborhood safety teams the teams that have you know, the numerical minority said that we shouldn't do But we listened and we did it anyway because we knew we were right They did a car stop One person hops out the car and runs because of their training. They knew the others were stayed with the Suspects one officer fled ran for blocks For blocks chasing this guy This guy turns around and discharge a shot at that officer that officer was able to Discharge his firearm and terminate a threat I I stopped body 8 8 to see that officer and just really thanked him when I looked at that body cam footage It was unbelievable that he was willing number one. He ran for several blocks He was able to meet that threat and terminate that threat So other innocent people were not killed in shock. This is my bam That's crowded during the during the week. That officer did an amazing job that whole team did an amazing job We don't hear how well these officers are doing. He ran towards the gun violence Not too many people who are standing here and sitting here right now Were run towards the gun violence that officer did it and because of his actions People in that area went home and his entire team went home He's a real hero and I thank him for the job that he did and I went to day They appreciate last night and stopped and I spoke with him in his team and told him thank you and new yorkers Thank thank him for his job The police body cam footage you saw when you were the city released that and of the other incident as well Yeah, you know It's my belief. I'm hoping we can just release people need to see what these cops are up against And I know there's a time delay for whatever reason beyond our administration But these these tapes I think if the public start to see these Um the footage You are you will be shocked with these ladies and gentlemen are doing every day And so whatever the procedure is we're going to follow the legal procedure to do so But I think we should we should show these tapes, you know People need to see What these cops are up against, you know, so whatever the rules are I'm going to look over the rules and see what we can do to get it in the hands of people In a more expeditious fashion, but right now the procedure procedures are the procedures Hold on one moment. I got I got to finish There was this big Comptroller out of the camera out of the camera last week with the ferry system Your office told me they kind of blamed de Blasio for rushing the system through I was wondering have you any thoughts how you want to change the ferry system So it doesn't keep eating into taxpayers money like what kind of changes would you like to make to the system? Well one thing for sure the the The controllers controllers report was not this administration. We need to be clear on that Uh, I know it's hard for people to believe but I've been the mayor for only six months in 10 days, you know So, uh, we're looking at the previous administrations They rolled out a very complex system building out the piers providing services I was out in queens the other day in a Transportation desert and speaking to the residents. It's the nitro development. The pier is right there And they said that ferry Is a lifesaver for them. So we want to look at how number one We can make it more cost effective for those in transportation desert, particularly in poorer communities And make sure we improve the services. So we're looking at his report We're going to learn from that report, but we have some ideas on on our own on how to Uh, have the system move at the level that I expect andrew kimble from edc Uh, he's he has done a briefing for me and we're going to roll out our next gen of the ferry system Going back to the queen shooting. Yes chief madri said that this individual that was shot and killed Had prior contact with police Where is even at the point of the 911 call when he's calling it and making these obvious very violent threats in crisis Where's the mental health? Person worker that is there to not only help at the 911 call But also with officers and how to deal with someone that's clearly in crisis You know, of course. Yes, they use their judgment. They went in the other gun But six officers are more walking up the uniform with a guy that's clearly in crisis He has a gun got it in 2019. We decided going forward. We were going to handle these specific calls very different No, what we do we have be heard an excellent program We're in those cases when you're dealing with non life threatening Incidents we are using and we continue to grow it, but we use it meant to help professionals in those non life threatening incidents I would not support A call Stated i'm going to harm someone Eminent in an imminent way that we're going to send in a civilian When you look at listen to those tapes those 9 11 tapes It would be irresponsible if we would have sent Of civilians to respond to that This gentleman was very clear on what his actions Were going to be and he lived out step by step what he stated he was going to do So those non threatening with using be heard, which is a great program That is is going to incidents where we could send a police or a non police personnel But remember mora and revera They were going to a domestic violence complaints You don't know when you walk through that door Of a person can call you for one thing But what you walk into after is totally different And so the way those officers responded yesterday tactically They did an amazing job saving the public Saving of the lives of people and terminating that threat This guy was a bad guy and you know when you listen to those tapes It's clear He had one role he wanted to accomplish and they terminated that role and that's really I think it's commendable Okay


The use of artificial intelligence, AI, in medicine is rapidly growing, with applications ranging from diagnostics to treatment. While some have suggested that AI could one day replace doctors, this paper argues that AI-based systems will likely only augment the role of physicians, rather than replace them. In particular, the paper examines for specialties, radiology, pathology, ophthalmology, and cardiology, to determine how AI-based systems can be used to improve patient care. Ultimately, the paper concludes that AI-based systems will not replace physicians, but instead will enhance their ability to provide quality care. This article was authored by Abhimanyu Asahucha.

As Wissi's Forum continues to celebrate its 10-year anniversary, it's the opportunity for the organisers and the over 3,000 participants gathered here in Geneva to recognise the unique role of ICTs for development. Whether it be gender mainstreaming, climate change or promoting our cultural diversity, Wissi's Forum is a key platform to raise awareness about important issues. It's also a place where we can learn about innovative projects across the world, where ICTs were used to help deliver the United Nations' sustainable development goals. Virtual reality, for instance, can be used to enhance and protect culture. All over the world, languages are disappearing at an alarming rate. Out of the 7,000 spoken worldwide today, half of them will be extinct by the middle of the century. Last Wissi was really an invocation of languages that are being dead and in the piece that this person is experimenting with right now, you're actually facing the earth and you are seeing those languages all around the globe disappearing and you see their names and it's really a way for you to perceive from within, from the inside and embody what's happening. And for those who've always dreamed of flying like a bird, VR can also help. Birdly is a simulator that can recreate similar sensations and emotions. Beyond its entertainment value, this immersive experience can also act as an effective educational tool. Using information and communication technologies to empower women and girls was at the heart of discussions at a gender mainstreaming session as bridging the digital gap and enhancing inclusion is one of the priorities of the Wissi Forum. What governments need to do is to take targeted specific interventions that address the groups that are basically are being further pushed away from the digital divide and they need to look holistically. Yesterday the Thai Minister was talking about this as well and I love the fact that he said it's not just the digital divide, they're all divides, there's the economic divide, education divide and there's cultural social divides and of course we have the gender digital divide. Another busy day here at Wissi Forum 2019. Join us again for the next highlights video where we'll be talking about connectivity in the future and we'll also discuss the security and ethical implications of transformative technologies like artificial intelligence.


I'm Gia Battista. I'm one of the artistic directors of David Shakespeare Festival. Really excited to be here today. Big Day of Giving is a really great day for people to support the company. What we do is we run a theater festival in the summer and in the fall, and we also produce educational programs for children from the ages of 7 to 17. And it's a really great program. We've been running for about 10 years now, so we're really excited to be a part of this. So this summer we're producing two shows in Repertory at the Davis Veterans Memorial Theater. We've got a musical called A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, and that is paired with a drama called The Tenth Muse, which premiered at Oregon Shakespeare Festival. And in the fall, we're producing Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. And for the fall show, we also have student matinee, so schools from all over the county can come and see the shows.


Computers keep changing the world, but their power and safety is limited by their rigid design. The T2TiLE project works for bigger and safer computing using living systems principles. Follow our progress here on T Tuesday Updates. This is the 30th T Tuesday Update. Let's get into it. Last week it was about ETS or Albuquerque Board Manufacturer manufacturing T2TiLEs for us. That was great. Since then, and actually also going back to the prior week that I didn't deal with it then, there is a huge long sorry saga of intertile connectors, which I will tell you about today. Looking forward, it's preparation for this Pioneer's Festival that will be heading out for a week. Well, part of this sort of busy period, this Rapids that I mentioned last week. I did want to mention that in the chat room, the Gitter chat room, folks have recently started talking about how to pitch this sort of ideas to new folks and what's the sort of best way to make it understandable, make it interesting, draw people in. I want to participate in that after I get past all the other stuff that is now currently running behind because it's traveling last week through the weekend. But also, the new folks that are joining in, the people that have come and found it interesting for one reason that, for example, just because of the novelty of the computational approach, whatever it may be, if folks would be willing to contribute to that, to drop in the chat room if you're already there, speak up, that feels incredibly valuable to me since, as I've mentioned times before, I'm so deep in this stuff, it's hard to remember where the beginnings can be. And with luck, maybe I'll be able to steal some of the stuff folks are thinking up and use it at this Pioneer's things coming up. So if you can manage, if you think you might be able to contribute, if you'd be willing to give it a try, to try the chat room, I'll put the link again down at the bottom once more in case for new folks. Okay, so today. Well, so it's the manufacturing. I have the first tile in hand actually. Here it is. It's probably can't see it very well, but it is running. And it's doing its little display thing. It used to be talking to itself all three directions so that I could test the intertile communications, but that passed that test, so I had unhooked it so that it could connect up with some of the other guys. And, you know, so when I got this thing, you know, I was at ETS a week ago Friday, and that got as far as putting surface mount parts on, still had to add the through-hole parts, the intertile connectors, and so forth. So I went over on, I guess, last Monday.  This one's called, I couldn't really see it here. This one's called E10. It's going to be the series as ETS, and this is the first one in that series. It looks like there may be more than 100 tiles in the E series, we shall see. Got the first one home, got it under the microscope, took a look at it. You know, everything was really beautiful. Oops, I'm going crazy here. Also going very slow, and I'm not quite sure why that is. The light sensor, it's such trouble placing when I was hand-building these things. Look good. The joints look good. The switches, they were a little dirty, but that was because they were added on afterwards, again, to avoid getting water inside the switch when the boards were washed using the water-soluble flux. So the switches got added on afterwards. The whole thing heated up nicely. It booted up in the dark. You can see the red grid power and the green tile power lights working. And I created the whole thing up in one of our brand new, fresh off 3D printer, more or less, cases. And that did reveal a little bit of an issue that when this screw here, which is closest to the power switch, if I screw this thing all the way down, it interferes with the operation of the switch. It turns out the switch will still open and close, but it doesn't click. It doesn't have its proper tackle action because it's just a little bit too tight, and once again. And so taking a look at it, it's really just that the solder, I think because the solder paste was on those pads and so that when it got soldered on later, it was just up a little higher. And I, you know, I reported that back to Robert Evans, and it was like, you know, boom, we will take care of it. Great. So I'm hoping tomorrow or the next day, maybe depending on how the timing works, that I'll get over to ETS again and maybe get some more of the finished tiles. And we'll see if we could, you know, perhaps, well, it's going to be a little tough on the connectors. But to build a rink, get seven of these guys all going hooked up together. That would be cool for next week, we'll see. All right, the very next day, I guess a week from tomorrow, the boards were all done. And Robert wanted to know, you know, if they're going to be building more, if so, they can keep the machine set up. And I had to say, well, no, it's time to tear it down. We're going to have to be working on this for a long time. So that's just done. We have something like, I'm not exactly sure, he ran all the boards. That would be 200 boards if they were all good. Now there's going to be issues there always are with some of them, but so far so good. All right, so that's the board situation. And yes, so on the 3D printer, that we had been doing cases, we got 180 cases. So I switched over to doing the PD, the power and data intertile connectors, they're called DPs here in this picture. But it's the same thing. It's the ones that are going to connect all of the things within a power zone. And we need a ton of them. So we need 41 per zone, which comes out to 2.16 per tile when you work it all out. So for 133, which was the original build, we needed about 300. But with a larger build, we need more than 400 of these things. So I've been printing them up as best I can. For a while, I had run out of the black, the Prusament Galaxy blacks filament. So I was using some gray to do the interzone connectors, not the DPs, but the PDs, but the DOs, the data only they're going to go in between separately powered zones of the grid. So I did some of those eventually. Oh, yes. And this is the point of all of this that as I mentioned at the end of the update last week, when I came back from ETS, I had this wonderful thing watching all the boards get manufactured. There was a collapse on the printing the PD connectors on the 3D printer. What I didn't mention in the video was that that was not the first one. And in fact, there was this weird thing that it was usually seemed to be failing in a specific spot in the layout. There's 18 PD connectors on each print run. And it was, you know, sort of two over and two in from one of the corners that usually seemed to be the one that was failing. Moreover, it's the thing, the bearings, the Y axis bearing, the thing that goes in and out towards you. Z goes up and down, X goes left and right. Whenever the Y axis was coming toward me, it was kind of making a little sound when it went the other direction. It was quieter. It makes a little noise, but this was a thing.  Just what I need. Now, of course, you know, I've been putting a lot of stuff on it around the clock for months.  I had tried a bunch of things to fix this. And so one thing I did try finally was actually that this golden sheet that you see is actually double sided. And it's got this, this coating on it that's supposed to be good for the things to stick to and then release on both sides. So I flipped the thing over and I tried it again. And actually for some reason, somewhere in that attempted print run, the bearing got quiet. I don't know exactly why. And I'm sure this is something that's going to come back and bite me later. But all right, so these were a couple of other little failures we had, you know, when I was messing around with it, but hadn't dealt with it. And this is the run that I had at the end of last week. You can't really tell, but this gold build plate is the flip side of the one that we had before. And so some combination of having a nice fresh plate that had never been printed on before, plus whatever magic caused the y-axis bearings to stop being loud, which, you know, and I did a little YouTube thing to read about linear bearings and yes, you know, they're almost surely wearing out or the grease is running low or something like that. So this is going to come back and bite us again, but so far so good. All right, so that's the 3D printer. Now, the ITC parts. So trying to build 450 of the circuit boards, these things. We're printing the tops, the tabs for the PDs ourselves, but we want to get the board plus the two connectors that each one joins two T2 tiles together. I had started to set up an order at Seed Studios and was pricing it out. At first I was using the sullen super-expensive, domestically sourced connectors that were costing 68 cents a piece. And the bottom long and short of it was that Seed's quote for the thing, right, and here's the thing from Digi-Key, the component distributor, 956 available. So we'd need 900 because each connector takes two if we're making 450 connectors. Seed's quote came in really expensive, 1,400 or plus for the 450 connectors. That's like more than three bucks each. More than three bucks each. More than three bucks each cost for these things.  Well, I still wonder actually. So this again led into the whole thing that you've heard about if you've watched any of these videos in the last few months about trying to find alternate parts instead of the sullen's connector. And 4Ucon had one in Taiwan. It had the same thing, the same 8.5 inch body height, the same angled polarized rib in the middle and so forth. Also, this YXcon company and the people's recovery China had the same thing, same height and so forth. Had this very confusing ordering part number to come up with what I wasn't really sure. I thought it was F185-1216 because my best guess was from Googling around and finding other places like here, here's an F185-1236 right there. And it claims that that's two by 18 positions. So it kind of implies that it was giving you that the number that you stuck in there was the total number of positions, even though the circle broke off and said, you know, the number per row. After last week's update, Andrew did some additional research and dug into this. Thank you, Andrew. And reported into the chat room that my suggestion of thinking I wanted to say 16 for 16 pins total was probably wrong. And I wanted to say 08, meaning the number of positions per row. And he found a bunch of examples and so forth. Some of which I'd found, but some of which I hadn't. And perhaps one of the most compelling things. I'm not sure where there it is. There was one that had an 03 in the part in that corresponding position. And if it was 03, then for the entire position, the entire number of positions, having an odd number of positions makes no sense. So the Seed Studio order seems way expensive. So I went back to PCB way, which I was going to try them in any case. But I made the order and I went with the F185-1208. The positions per row rather than total number of positions. And so they accepted the order. It had two parts. The top part was making the 450 boards and the bottom part was assembling them. And the first part passed was ready to go because that was relatively straightforward. The second one was being reviewed. But then not that long later, three, four hours later, it was approved for $517 with $297 in parts cost, which was a lot better than what I was getting when I was trying to use the Sullen's part. And they quoted back with the fact that it needed a minimum order quantity of 2,000 pieces and so forth. And so the $297 was for buying 2,000 pieces even though I only needed 900. And off we were going, right? So the orders and process and we're paying for it.  Which I responded, you know, there's no pick-and-place file because there's no surface mount parts to pick and place, right? And in fact, that was it. And this is one thing that makes me think that even if, you know, Yolanda Chen is actually a real individual, which, you know, maybe so, maybe not. I don't know. It also seems to me that, you know, several people at PCBway behind the scenes may speak as Yolanda Chen because people sound very different in different circumstances and so forth.  I still am happy to have a single point of contact that is supposed to have sort of a customer relationship to me rather than just nothing or things coming from all different directions. So there is no pick-and-file. That's okay. They'll fix it and so forth. But that was not the end of it. Oh, the circuit boards, they went through the process. They're all done. They've been done for a long time now. But we checked the parts and they say we checked the link again. It's two by eight pins, two rows, eight pins per row. But there's only 12 pins where there's 16 holes on the board. And this was the other point I had worried about that these connectors have two sets of plug pins on the end and unlike the 4U con data sheet where the 1, 2, 3, 4 pin count started inside the plug pins, apparently the XY con data sheet started on the plug pins. Yes, indeed, that's what it was. So we didn't want 1208 at all. We would actually need 1210 to have 10 across with two plugs leaving eight pins piece. Could we change that? Could we requote it and so forth? I went and did some more Googling saying I think it probably needs to be F185, 1210, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Can we switch to that? They did the same research. They said yes, indeed, 1210. Is that actually okay? Should we go for it?  And then there was an additional pushback, which is yes, that's the same part that they had found. But part of the part would extend beyond the silkscreen, the actual part on the circuit board, you know, the equivalent of this little box drawn here except for the inner tile connector, not for the tile. Is it okay that it goes beyond the silkscreen? And so my answer was, it's okay if the part goes beyond the silkscreen because in fact all these do as long as it doesn't go beyond the edge of the board itself. And at this point, I was really starting to freak out about, you know, what are the actual measurements on these things? I thought they were sort of standard to get the thing with the thing and the rib. They'd all be the same. So I went and I got the calipers and then I started measuring my parts. So the one that I have, I don't know if this is a solens or not, but it's something equivalent to it. 25.33 millimeters. So 25.4 is an inch, which corresponds to 10 positions of a .1 inch. Those are .1 inch headers. So that should be all right. So my connectors are 25.33 millimeters. And I went and measured the shroud of the shrouded header that they have to fit into. That's 25.55. So in these things which fit fine, there's two tenths of a millimeter spread between the two sides. And when I went and looked at the datasheet for the 12.10.1, it looked bigger than that. In particular, it was at 25.4 plus a half a millimeter. So I sent the measurement off to them. I said, you know, if you haven't bought it, please wait. It's all messed up. And they were checking as well.  And the board is only and they sent me pictures. It was really great. So, you know, here's the picture of my PD board, which in fact, I can see how they've panelized it up to make a bunch of them all at once, which I hadn't seen before. That was cool. They take a measurement. The board is 25.44 millimeters long. And the part is, you know, 10 times 2.54 plus a half won't fit. And so, you know, yes, again, we crossed on the mail talking about this, what to do.  See, look at these. These things are the plugged pins and yet the part I have 25.34 millimeter. These things work fine in the shrouds, but if it's 25.4 or up, it's not going to fit. So I broke down at a time. So I'm going to skip this part. They also said, you know, forget about, you know, maybe don't use the plug pins. No, how about let's use the let's go with the expensive part. Let's go with solids. However, they don't have enough anymore while I dithered around and tried to save money. It went from over 900 to under 900. So the long and short of it is, is we are doing a reduced order. They're going to do 725 panels, which is 600, I believe. Oh, no, 750 parts instead of the 950. And we're going to have to wait for the stock to come in to do the rest. So I paid the extra difference for the why pay less for it's all ends connector, which I could have had ages ago. And in fact, they went and bought them immediately. So I went back to digikey time is up. And the digikey says they get them end of May. I checked back again today. Now they're saying in June we shall see at a time. The next update will be out a week from today. Join in the chat room if you can. That would be great in any event. I'm happy that you're here. I'll see you next week.


Haking how's it going?  This is for you It is January. I realized my tree is still up. Let's just avoid that so by popular demand People wanted to see more of my random grocery hauls. I needed a couple of staples again, so I bought said staples I made a very quick awesome meal that I absolutely love. It's one of my go-tos. I'm obsessed with tacos I love tacos if you don't love tacos. I'm not quite sure what's happened in your life, but that's a shame Tacos are great and anti-inflammatory as well for me. I make them in a bowl today's taco bowl. I mean It's not very exciting. There is no cheese. That's inflammatory There are no tortillas because taco bowl not inflammatory You are so disappointing on so many levels and yeah, you can add in all kinds of things normally, you know onions garlic Jalapeno, whatever. I did not anything. It was very very very plain but Delicious and very well-seasoned. So anyhow, here we go. Here's a random grocery haul. P.S. If you're new to this channel welcome I'm so glad you stumbled upon me because aside from silly little videos like this at least I think this is more of a Silly one. There are videos on this channel that are full of awesome info that really can help heal more than 90% of Any health wellness or body image challenge. It's not that hard I am a holistic health and wellness coach. So please do check out the other videos on this channel But without further ado, let's get into this grocery thing. All right, so this is my Typical grocery haul when I just need to grab a few things that I generally eat on a daily ish Basis or more often than not. We have some hickory smoked turkey breast shaved so yummy and P.S. It's only 70 calories for six of these slices 15 grams of protein.  Usually some sweet potatoes Gravy gluten-free. I like to use this for homemade poutine such things like that Curry paste because I love Indian food. No need for takeout. Make your own curry. This is life-smart minced turkey Avocados parmesan cheese for when I feel like being really bad and having my spaghetti with pasta sauce I like the roasted garlic and I like the classical the reason why is there is no added sugar in here If you're buying spaghetti sauce any kind of tomato sauce or salsa There is always so much added sugar and it just doesn't make sense. It doesn't need to be there Don't worry about it. Just fine one with no sugar romaine hearts these I love to make Caesar salad at home I also use romaine in my wraps in my taco bowls, which I think I'm having tonight. We've got some apples It's a great snack if you are eating veggies or fruits as your snack Don't eat them on their own always add in some hummus if it's veggies some nut butter if it's apples something like that Icelandic-style yogurt. There's 19 grams of protein per single serving of this yogurt So this I actually use in place of sour cream It is healthier and nicer on the gut and quite honestly in a taco wherever you're not gonna tell the difference Try swapping out the sour cream for Greek yogurt The texture and taste is nearly identical plus you'll save a lot of fat a good deal of it Saturated and you'll really pack in more protein to minute rice. Yes I see that this is one of those it looks very microwavable actually do not own the microwave But inside here the ingredients are whole grain brown rice, huh, you know like doesn't get easier Butterball turkey bacon normally I buy the low sodium version. However, they didn't have any today I like a wrap every now and then I buy gluten-free wraps made with spinach from the health food store here But today I didn't have time to go there. So I just got roti so yummy high protein low calories There are nine grams of protein for two of these. That's huge some organic taco It's important to have organic spices no matter what spices you're using because all non organic spices have been Irradiated and feed the bad gut bacteria tomato for the taco bowls and such And then we just have some turkey breast local turkey breast that I like to make stir-fries with or chicken stew blocky skewers yummy also thanks to that butte of an air fryer down there I actually make my own Breaded chicken fingers and chicken nuggets that are way healthier anti-inflammatory won't cause water retention or weight gain And oh right. Okay. So this cereal is my replacement if my healthy kind isn't here My healthy kind that I usually get is this one here. This is cashew. There is nothing inflammatory in this cereal It is very very good for you this it is sugar-wise, which is better. But honestly, I don't recommend this I'm just gonna put this into my 80-20 on the days that I really really crave cereal. So that's our grocery haul today Let's get to cooking some dinner now if I was the type of person That enjoyed onions. I would have added the onions and garlic to the pan first before the meat But I don't need onions. They bother me. So I am just going to make this meat with some garlic and the taco seasoning The garlic that I use is organic minced garlic This is found in the produce section of pretty much any grocery store I've ever been to I always try to buy organic everything There's a major major difference when you're eating organic for one thing It takes life force energy of your bodies to Process food that is not organic. Yes, I know that's a ridiculous amount of garlic that has no vampires in this place It takes our bodies our own life force energy to process food that is not organic This degrades our health and it over-toxifies our detox systems in the body. Our body is not meant to be that toxic It does not know how to handle that much metabolic waste output So please try to buy organic anything that you can especially spices as mentioned I am going to be chopping this up for the taco bowl putting some romaine some rice just some easy peasy dinner tonight Now this is not sexy. I realize that but this is half a cup of ground turkey with taco seasoning organic Of course, we have some romaine lettuce some chopped tomatoes We have a third cup of brown whole grain rice and some salsa and some greek yogurt in place of sour cream And this will be my dins Did I forget to mention dessert to you guys because I am having one square of this 70 percent cacao Lind chocolate and cacao is better for you than cocoa. It is less processed. I would go cacao for anything I realize that more than 70 percent like 80 90 and above to baking chocolate is healthier But I don't care because 80 20 and this is my chocolate of choice. So usually I have one square They are let me show you how big the squares are So one square is that big it's 170 calories for three of these squares I eat one and I am more than satisfied. So that's that that's all there is to the video today My little grocery haul my absolutely delicious taco bowl I highly recommend that you try that add in whatever you want for you Doesn't matter bowls are such a good go to and they are such a good Feeling way to keep on track to keep the fat down in your body to keep your body image goals in check Awesome awesome go to just so delicious.

Corsitin, a polyphenol derived from plants, has shown potential anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic applications, and may aid in attenuating lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, and capillary permeability. Further research is needed to understand how Corsitin provides these beneficial effects, particularly in relation to obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Johnny LaLiever from Signature Resources. How are you today, Johnny? I'm excellent. Thank you. Johnny, this is a multi-generational property that you have in Signature. Is this correct? Yes, it is.  Is that correct? They sure do. So let's start with your most recent drilling results from the Lingman project, please. Well, that's a great place to start because it's really exciting for us, Signature. This property has relied on historical information to get it to where it is today. And of course, being the new guys on this project for a little while now, everybody was looking to us to produce our own results. And we just finished a 1,500-meter drill program. We tested the West Zone, South Zone, Central Zone, and the North Zone. And to our not so much of a surprise, but at least to the positive side, not only were the results fantastic, but indications are they're better than what the historic results had indicated. So we're excited. So speaking of excited, for those of you out there from the cannabis market, looking to redirect your capital into a resource company, as a junior, you have a substantial amount of claims and I read nearly 10,000 hectares. Is that correct? So actually, we're sitting over 22,000 hectares. And it is a very, very large land package covering, for the most part, the whole greenstone belt that encompasses the Lingman Lake area. So would you mind dumbing that down for some of us at Investor Intel who may not have a multi-generational resource background like you do, Johnny? So in simpleton terms, a greenstone belt is part of a geological formation that typically gold is found within. This particular belt is about 25, 27 kilometers long. And it trans-east-west with a bit of a horizon curve to it as it's trending. And we found that there was some mineral occurrences to the far west, about 22 kilometers away from the actual Lingman Lake mine site. So what we did is we chose to cover that, particularly with computer staking now. And we covered that, protected ourselves, protected the asset for our shareholders and future opportunities. And it's exciting because an airborne geophysical program had been completed on the property and indications are two major horizons trending across the whole greenstone belt with nothing but A, prioritized targets for us. There wasn't any Bs identified or Cs identified. So this is a great upside potential for exploration for our company. Speaking of the greenstone belt, you have two other projects in addition to the Lingman project. Is that correct? So the optics of it is there's three components to the project. We have our focus at the mine site where there's 234,000 historical ounces indicated in the ground from previous drilling. Our focus will be over the next 24 months to increase that ounce count by drilling. Just focused on drilling, drilling, drilling. Then we have the two other components to it. The east and the west of the mine site area. And we refer to it as what you just referred to. And it's exciting because that's what we refer to people talk about the blue sky opportunity. We're going to put some boots on the ground in the summer and do some exploration and we're fortunate up there there's a lot of bedrock exposure following in these trends. And we're looking forward to some really exciting opportunities in those areas. So Johnny, just to make sure that I understand properly, the Lingman gold property has four freehold patented claims and 50 state claims. Is that correct? And what's our resource estimate at this time? So historically, the four original patents where the mine site is is where our focus is going to be, including on the claims that are surrounding that property. And with the high grade gold that the historic has indicated and with our results that we've gotten with the high grade drill intercepts, we're just going to drill a heck out of this. And we're going to build our ounces, build our ounce count. And within the next 24 months, I'm sure if we're lucky, we'll be able to hopefully get up into that million ounce area. And of course, I am a dreamer, so we're going to continue that dream and hopefully get there sooner than later. Well, Johnny, I am privy to some of your background, which may or may not be online. And we know historically you are deemed to be a treasure hunter. So can I ask you why this particular property? Because I think you were semi-retired when you came back into the industry and found this property or put it all together. Can you tell us why this property is so intriguing to you, please? Well, I was retired and coming back into this world when I did was probably one of the nuttiest things I ever did, especially with the markets heading in the direction that they were going. But Walter Hanich and I were introduced to this property back in 2003. And he always prodded me, you know, let's look at this, let's look at this, let's look at this. And the opportunity came around, as I think we probably talked about once in the past, right place, right time, enough money, and put it together. And this is my focus, 100%. And we're going to turn this into something big. And we have a great shareholder base that are excited about our project. Well, Johnny, thank you so much for joining us again today. It's always a pleasure. Thank you very much.
