Hello, and welcome to the Fort Report. I'm Alicia Woodruff. And I'm Chris Connelly. The City of Fort Worth is committed to fair housing opportunities for all people. That's why we're observing April as Fair Housing Month. The Fair Housing Act was adopted 43 years ago and today both federal and state fair housing laws prohibit discrimination in housing from housing providers, real estate agents, landlords, appraisers, and others. For more information about the city's anti-discrimination ordinance or to report a possible violation, call<PHONE_NUMBER> or visit fortworthgov.org forward slash human relations. Spring has definitely sprung in Cowtown. Bluebonnets are on I-30, the zoo is insanely crowded, and it's time for Prairie Fest at Tandy Hills. Yes, and celebration of all things related to Laura Ingalls. No. Prairie Fest is actually a family friendly day in the wildflower decorated acres of the Tandy Hills natural area. It hosts a collection of eco-minded vendors to help folks live a more earth-friendly life. There's also live music. Last year's Prairie Fest was voted best outdoor cultural event of 2010. Hmm, will there be hippies? The 60s are over, but there will be green-minded individuals dedicated to reserving our planet. I've noticed some hippies smell funny. Chris, being eco-friendly doesn't mean you're less hygienic. By the way, you smell funny. Let's roll one more little house clip. I hope you're not angry. What was the purpose of that? It's called a segway. It's come to my attention that councilmember Kathleen Hicks, along with some city staff and volunteers, found some weird looking stuff in the muddy creeks and fields of Cobb Park. Not sure why they were rummaging around in the forest. Actually, they were taking part in a recent and very successful Cowtown cleanup. That's good to hear, but what they found was anything but good. Love letter. Vacuum cleaner hose. High school musical blanket. Keeping that. Half-eaten peanut butter sandwich. What does all this mean? First of all, it means some people aren't showing respect for their city. We've all seen it. Litter can be found in every part of any big city, but it needs to stop. And it starts with us. It starts with you. Also, it means more citizens should take advantage of the three drop-off stations in the city. You can find the locations of these stations on the city's website or by calling 817-392-EZ. The city always encourages continuous cleanup efforts and will give free trash bags to groups wanting to stay involved and keep Fort Worth beautiful. With that, this ends this week's sport report. I'm Alicia Woodruff, Chris Connolly.

You don't have to go to the bank. It's going to take like two minutes, and I don't understand what's with your attitude. Chill out. I don't have an attitude. I'm just saying I don't want to go. Okay, well, you don't have to get out the car. You can just stay here for two minutes. It doesn't matter. That's like wasting time. Whatever. Infinite family already started. Anyway, guys, so we're going to go to the bank and then after that, we're going to go to Chick-fil-A. Oh, but that gets you happy. But that gets you happy, right? Yeah, I'm so excited to check out the bank. You see that? Oh my God, dang, bro. What?  How are you annoying? I'm excited. Get all happy over Chick-fil-A, but get mad because I got to stop at the bank for two minutes. Okay, continue, continue. All right, anyway, guys, we're going to go to the bank. I got to take out some shmoney. So, I'll see you guys there. Pulling up to the ATM right now, I got to get some shmoney. Hurry up, I don't want to be here. Babe, cut the negativity. I'm not negative. Hurry up. Cut the negativity. I'm five foot, like, three, so. You're not five foot three. I'm five foot three. I can't get out. I'm actually not even five foot three and five foot one. Ugh.

Just get your stuff and hurry up so he can go to Chick-fil-A. I'm working on it, I'm working on it. Oh my God. Oh my God. See, was that so bad? Honestly, it took a really long time. Infinite Fam. No. He was in there for like 10, 15 minutes because the ATM wasn't working or whatever so he had to go inside and- Bro, you are lying. How am I lying? I'm not lying. The drive-through ATM wasn't working so I had to go inside and I was in there for like five minutes tops. I just said that. All right, but you just said I was in there for 10 to 15 minutes. No, I wasn't. No, but you weren't in there for five minutes. You were in there for like, yeah, 10 to 15 minutes. No, I was, y'all already, okay. Can we just step on it so I can eat my food? I'm starving. Chicken Chick-fil-A. We're obeying the speed limit, okay? No, we're not. We need to step on it. Do you want to turn this into a drive-in crazy, like part five? No. Okay, then. If you guys haven't seen that, go check those videos out. I had them at last. Yeah, we got the freaking Chick-fil-A, bro. We got it. We got it. I'm excited. All right, pizza people who are listening to this will have bones. I think I just broke my straw. I think I just broke my straw. Yeah, that one's yours because you didn't break mine. Well, let me get yours because I rather have yours then. Wait, where is my straw? I don't know where's your straw. Dude, they broke my straw. Okay, we'll take mine here. No, how are you going to drink your drink? By taking the top off and drinking it. Dude, what the hell?  Oh my God. Now how am I supposed to drink my drink without a damn straw? I'm giving you my straw. Take my straw and I'll just take the top off mine and drink it like that. It's not a big deal. Never mind. That straw. Do you see the way that looks? So you can have this one. They're mine of happy again.  I don't care. I'm not digging that. Too bad.  I'm gonna need you to switch that up a little bit. This is busting. Is it busting, busting? I don't know. I haven't tasted it yet. It's busting. I'm over here making sure that you're all right in the head. I'm fine. We need something more.  I don't want, I don't know. Infinite Fam, we'll catch up with you guys when we're done eating because maybe I'm not thinking straight because I haven't eaten. We'll catch up with you guys in a minute. Guys. It's not funny. I'm not laughing at what you saw. That wasn't funny but the fact that you just, you just went from being so happy finishing your Chick-fil-A to just instantly crying like that. We're getting, I saw a baby deer dead on the ground. Babe, it happens. There's deer all the time, dead on the side of the road. It happens. Yeah, but the little face looks like my blue because he has the face of a deer.  I just started crying. You're like, I don't know, man. I don't know if it's the birth control or something. It is, I feel it today. Yeah, it's up there today. Your hormones are all over the place today. You're going from mad sad to happy to cry. It is. Also, I'm listening to Keanu Lede.  But she's made, she gave me all of my feels. Like, I love her. So it's like seeing that and then listening to her is like, I can't. We on the way to my mom's house right now. So I guess we'll pick it up when we get there. You good? No. You need a tissue? You need a shoulder to cry on? No, I'm gonna get makeup on your shirt. Dang right. Back up. Six feet. You know the rules. So, Infinite Fam, now I'm upset. Why? So, I just told you why. How? What are you talking about? Oh, all right, I'm gonna tell you again.  Which I'm still doing, no. No, because she just called me and she just said no. She said, never mind, it's canceled because apparently it's gonna thunderstorm later so they cancel the whole barbecue. So we came all the way over here for me not even to do her makeup.  We came over, all right.  Why? Why were we gonna come over here? For what? Because we always come here all the time. Okay, but like, why come this early to do nothing? Chill with the attitude. What's with your negativity today? Like, just chill. Like, life isn't that bad. Life is great. Relax. But it's just like annoying. Like, I was looking forward to actually like doing makeup and doing something creative and now I can't. Acting like we had anything else to do today. This was like one of the things we had to do and then there's like, we're going out to eat later. That's about it. I don't care. I don't wanna hear it. Bro, what is good with you? I don't understand. What is good with you today? This is a prank. What is a prank?  Bro, you're getting me tight. I'm over here like trying to like hold. That's the gold, knuckles. No, no, I'm like trying to hold in my patience. Count it. I'm trying to hold in my patience and my temper and all that because I think it's your freaking birth control and here you are doing it on purpose. No, my birth control did make me emotional. The only emotion I had that was Jenny when today was my excitement for Chick-fil-A because duh always. And me being sad with the deer because that made me really upset. But all of that, it was just a prank and I think I got you because look how salty he is. He was about to rip me. I knew it. I knew that once we got to the house.   Just stop complaining like, oh my God, life isn't that bad. You're right, it's not. Just like. Now I can actually enjoy the rest of my day without pretending to be mad. You stressed me out. No, I got a headache. Kiss? Oh. Please? You got lipstick on. It doesn't transfer, look. You say that all the time and it does. Did it? They can't see that. Come on now. Nothing, nothing. Yeah, no transfer. It's Matt. Matt, who's Matt? And all day lasting. Who's Matt? No, imagine. So you just wasted my time today? Well you got the mail, yes I did. All right, from the fam. So that is it for today's video. We are going to go ahead and enjoy the rest of our day.

the people who have known you the longest are the most threatened about you changing. Because they fear that if you change too much, they may not have the same place in your life anymore. So they have a vested interest in you not changing or you know is, I just do not have the time anymore for those conversations. I'm not interested. I don't know if there's any jizz in my life. I don't want to see for coffee every week and we talk about people all the time. I don't want all of that. So you realize you're changing because your energies are shifting. Your attention is changing. What you want to be around is changing but you don't know how to say to people, I won't be there.


How much can I earn teaching English in Malaysia? Situated just north of the equator, Malaysia is a tropical destination that has plenty to offer Teflok-qualified teachers. The country's rapid development, diverse culture and great food are all major attractions. The government is also keen to recruit more English teachers in the coming years, ensuring plenty of opportunities for international teachers. As there are a large number of local English language teachers, competition for jobs is relatively strong, but they are available for those who want them. What are Tefl salaries in Malaysia? Salaries in Malaysia are not in the same league as some other Asian countries, such as China, Japan or South Korea, with an average wage being around US$1,000 per month. However, the cost of living is relatively low, so this figure can go a long way if you live a normal lifestyle. Many jobs also include accommodation or a housing subsidy, which takes away one of the biggest outgoings for most teachers working overseas. After a three-month probationary period, teachers are usually entitled to 18 days paid vacation per year, plus the standard 17 days of public holidays. Some contracts also include paid airfare in and out of the country, but these are relatively rare. Who are the main employers of English language teachers in Malaysia? International schools are where the best paying jobs can be found, and there are many of them across the country. These schools follow either a British, American or Australian curriculum, which provides good opportunities for teachers from those countries. There are plenty of international schools in and around the capital city, Kuala Lumpur. However, employers will typically expect a high level of qualifications and experience for these positions. Public colleges and universities also offer plenty of job opportunities. Salaries are not as high as international schools, but the working hours and overall workload is usually considerably less. These roles normally consist of running conversational English classes that are often quite laid back compared to many other teaching jobs. Another popular option is private language schools. An online search will reveal a number of language schools that you can contact directly via their websites. What is the recruitment process for English teachers in Malaysia? Although some teaching jobs can be secured from within your home country, most employers take their recruitment process very seriously and will want to go through a thorough interview process in person. The best approach is to compile a list of potential jobs before leaving home and then contact them in person or by phone once you arrive. Local newspapers such as The Star are also a good source of job listings. The majority of positions are located in and around Kuala Lumpur, although other areas also have options as education is a high priority right across the country. As the job market is very competitive, the minimum requirement for most teaching jobs is a degree, a Teflor or TSO certification, and two years of classroom experience. What is the cost of living for English teachers in Malaysia? Although the cost of living is quite low in Malaysia, it will help a great deal if you find a job that includes accommodation or a housing subsidy. If you don't have to worry about rent, you can live a very comfortable lifestyle. Your monthly grocery bill should be relatively small, as it is cheap to eat out at local food stalls and restaurants, where you can enjoy high quality food for just a few dollars. This is also a great way to experience the diverse culture of the country and to make friends in the local community. Public transport is very affordable with a daily pass on the buses costing only 30 cents. G-bills are also cheap at around $15 per month. Thanks so much for watching.

Hi, I'm Nadia Chau, I'm a technology analyst with IG TechTax. I'm here at Cytosurge, so can you tell me a bit more about your printer? Yeah, basically we have here our Fluid FM Micro 3D printer. This is the printer which can print metal objects out of a solution at room temperature in the size of micro-objects, like one micrometer diameter for example, or even smaller or bigger. Sure, and is this the sample that you have printed? Yeah, for example you see here what you not see it's a triple helix, it's also on the screen, it's actually this one. It's a helix, it's a fairly complex 3D object with a diameter of 20-30 micrometers. It's the proof that we are able to print metal as 3D objects, because triple helix is one of the most complex things you can print. And what are some applications of this? The applications, as it's a brand new technology and it was never available for the industry. Our potential applications in this state, in the terms of biosensors or in the chip industry and for die contacting is a potential to make like micro coils or micro inductives for microelectronics also to print basically a coil direct on the chip. All these are potential applications. Right, and can you tell me a bit more about what you have here? Yeah, basically these are the tips, these are the print heads. It's very consumer friendly, I'm going to show you on this one, take it out, sorry. On this one we have a micro chip on the tip, this is basically an AFM cantilever and the cantilever is hollow, there is a micro channel inside where we can bring femtoliters of liquid to a specific room and so in our printing chamber. And these femtoliters we control and with these femtoliters we are able to print the metal objects out of the metal ions. Great, thank you. And so how has IDHACX helped you? Actually it's great because also from sensor industry people are there, many scientists people are here, from display industry people are here, like they're really a cross of different technologies. It's not only like 3D printing or not only sensors and this helps a lot, we had very good conversations, we had like until now 7 or 8 different application ideas. Which we didn't expect, so let's see what's coming up afterwards, but it was a great start. Right, well thank you for your time, it was nice to meet you. Thank you, bye.


But do you still consider yourself a Democrat? I will be changing that. I'm a lifelong Democrat. My family comes from the Kennedy Democrats, and I will be voting for Trump this election. Norma, did you watch the Democrats last week? No, I did not. It couldn't be bothered. I wanted to tell you all so that we were from Massachusetts and we were lifelong, and my parents were Democrats, but we're not anymore. We're Republicans. America, to me, is freedom of speech. It's the biggest one that the Democrats have just lost me on. They've been attacking it. You know, they keep preaching that they're the party of love and tolerance, but you got to read the fine print. That's only if you believe as they do. You know, and that's not the way we are in this country.  That's what America's about, and they just don't get it. America needs to stay as America. Very upset with everything that's going on in this country, and I've been a registered Democrat for many years, and this is done. I'm ready. I need a change. I've been in the Democratic Party for a long time and see the way that the direction of the country is headed. I want America to stay a place that is free, that is pro-business, that is less regulation, that stands for freedom, that stands for defense of our nation, and I see it going a different way with the Joe Biden potential. God bless Donald Trump. I used to be a Democrat until I didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016, but after they attacked him so brutally, I said they're not even giving him a chance, and he's fighting for America every day. I've switched completely. I am now Republican, voting Republican all the way. No more Democrat for me. Helen, who did you vote for in 2016? Well, I didn't vote for Trump, but I am now, most definitely. I've been a New Yorker for over 20 years, and I am so tired of the crime here. I am tired of what's going on here. I think this whole speech tonight with everyone was just right on point. I'm just tired of being tired, and I think everybody in the United States feels the same way that I feel. We are tired of feeling tired. Jennifer, who did you support in 2016? In 2016, I supported Hillary Clinton. And over the last four years, your views have changed? My views have changed. I'm a single mom. I have a daughter in New York. She's 12 years old. She's going to be 13. I worked with Candidly. I was a Hillary voter. And so for me, I bought into a lot of stereotypes about him, but I can't deny the results that they've had with the economy. And Candidly security is an issue I care very much about, and I don't feel safer with all of this just going on. The riots that's going on, what's happening in California and all these countries, I mean, all these states and cities, it's just, is that what we really want? I don't think so. It's just, it's amazing how the Democratic Party has changed. And the Republican Party and Donald Trump is the one who's going to take this country and make it better, like you said, and I'm just so impressed. I mean, leaning towards Trump is school choice. I do think there's a lot of, I don't talk about the Democrats, talk about structural racism, but I really don't think they're addressing it. I don't really recognize my party anymore. And that has really upset me as a lifelong Democrat. My principles as a traditional Democrat seem to lean towards Trump, which is ironic, but my heart just tells me that. I'm living in the suburbs of Chicago and I'm extremely disturbed at what's going on in the city. I feel like the city is totally lost along with the state. It's very disappointing. And I really have no idea who even votes for Democrats anymore. I think they're just a huge disappointment. I come from a long line of Democrats, but I have to say I switched parties because I'm so impressed with what our president did. And tonight, the whole RNC was wonderful. I think Democrats really have to take a look at what has happened to them, how they switched their focus, how they don't stand up for what the American people really stand for, and Melania and everyone who spoke tonight were just excellent. They spoke what the real true Americans are. Yes, I was originally a Democrat back in my teens when I registered. I am now going to be voting for Donald Trump. These past two days has given us hope in such perilous times. I am so happy to be voting for Trump. I am so happy that people are waking up to the leftist agenda and what they're truly about. This is about liberty. This is about freedom and taking our country back. The way that this Democrat party has gone to the extreme left has completely... It's a polly. I am not that. I am not that. And I will vote for Mr. Trump because I do not want the police to fund it. I do not stand for this post office lie that the Democrats are spreading because none of what he said, none of what they accused this person from the post office is true. And also, why are we not... Why are we getting... Everybody is going to vote by mail. Why? I have an ID.  I'm an immigrant. I am able to provide an ID. Everybody should be able. If I was going... I'm going to the store. I'd wear a mask. I can go shopping. Then I can go vote. So, Laura, you're calling on the Democrats' line, but you didn't have anything good to say about them? No, not at all. Not at all. Like I told this lady who answered the phone, I was a Democrat. I'm not longer a Democrat. They are communists. They're socialists. And that is not what this country is. I love the United States. I am an immigrant. I left my country because socialism destroyed my parents' business. And I will not stand for that. And I'm telling you this. If my life has to be put in the mail and given up for it, I will. I'm a Democrat. And our convention last week is no comparison to what I've seen in just the last two nights. I'm from Minnesota where all these riots and looting and the burning started. And I mean, not a mention about us last week, about saving our communities, helping our homeless, rebuilding our businesses. And this convention just in the last two nights has awakened me that there is hope that there are people that are willing to fight for us people in our communities. Barb, are you in the Twin Cities area or outside? In the Twin Cities. Right outside the Twin Cities. Has some of the protests, have they frightened you? Oh absolutely. They've been seven miles away with a new John Johnson of our party going into a neighborhood with 200 of Black Lives Matter supporters and terrorizing innocent neighbors in a community. It is scary.


Okay, well, welcome back to my favorite books and for the first time, I'm very excited to say that it's not just me talking about somebody else's book today. I'm getting a chance to interview one of my dear friends, Luby, about her new book, which is this one here. It's called Cultural Emergence. I'm going to find out what's inside there because I'm going to ask her. I haven't had time to read the whole thing yet. I've been a bit of a skimmer on this one because it's just coming out and I'm still trying to finish my book. But it looks extremely exciting. It's full of great pictures and more than that actually because for me, what's exciting about this particular new book, Luby's new book is it brings together everything that she's written before along with a whole bunch of other things like the work of Joanna Macy and I've forgotten his name, Chris Johnson. So all the work of things like Coyote's Guide, which is also a fabulous book but very heavy and quite difficult to get in the UK. Anyway, so maybe rather than me just rabbiting on for ages, I'm going to ask Luby, what exactly is Cultural Emergence? Where did that title come from? Well, it was quite an emergent process actually, but it gave birth to that title Cultural Emergence. It was through a collaboration between myself and John Young. So Coyote's Guide is written by John Young and other people and he's a deep nature connection specialist and he was looking at that question of why are some cultures more nature connected than others and interested in this whole process of what he describes as cultural repair. And in permaculture, we have this permanent agriculture and permanent culture. And it's like, what does that actually mean? And it's a bit of a fallacy, this idea of permanence in terms of culture and actually culture is much more of an emerging process, this organic process. So the phrase cultural emergence came from this kind of intention of how do we emerge regenerative cultures? How do we repair and make cultures that are healthy and supportive and nourishing for everyone? And so that was like the origins of that. And it came through this emergence of this synergy and connection between the work I've been doing with people in permaculture and how do we use permaculture principles and design and then the practices that support deep nature connection. So we asked ourselves, what would be the practices that support cultural emergence? What would be the principles of cultural emergence? And over the last four years, that's been a process and a journey and a story of harvesting collective wisdom to answer those questions, to then formulate in the book and share with the world. Yes, it feels very much like another practical book, you know, it's not a book to just read, it's a book that's full of, you call them activities and what was the other phrase and used, reflection questions, questions for reflection. And it's very much about, I'm writing at the moment about systems and patterns as well from a different perspective, very much a sort of physical landscape sort of thing. And you're very much focused, you're always being focused on how does that affect our cultural behaviors, the paradigms we create in the world. We see around us and why it looks like it does to us. And what's particularly key, I think, is that nobody really up to the point that you wrote people in permaculture had looked at the people care side of permaculture. It's been very much a case of, I think in Bill Mollison's book, he mentioned something about provision to basic needs of crude water and shelter and that's sort of it. But as has been pointed out by yourself and others before, we can't do the physical permaculture bit if we can't get on with each other and very often people will try to get together in intentional communities, even with a shared goal of let's do this thing. And within a year or two, half the people have left, other people are coming and they've got slightly different ideas. And we haven't been trained in our culture, our Western culture doesn't train us to live in community. And you're taking on board and providing in this lovely framework for the new book, a lot of wisdom from other cultures, which in many ways for us in the West, we don't relate to because we don't live or we don't connect to our history in the same way. We've been so disconnected from nature and that sort of appreciation of nature and the importance of us looking after the world around us because it's not just about the beauty and honouring the fact that there's this amazing thing that we immersed in this landscape of life, but also that it directly affects us that whatever we put out there comes back and bites us on the backside. So there I am waffling on again. So you very much talk about a toolkit and the book is very nicely structured around these different parts. So you talk about a toolkit and these premises which essentially underline create this foundation. Do you want to say a little bit about the premises of the book, the cultural emergence? Yeah, so one of the premises there is like that we, it's an ongoing process that the creating culture is this ongoing process. There's another premises that humanity is part of the web of life and has a positive role to play in that and that's hugely you know, can be a huge shift in thinking. I know a lot of people are very disillusioned by the human race at the moment and really thinking oh you know we're just heading for the destruction of the planet and the world would be better off without humanity and actually if we're coming from that thinking it is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy then and it you know it depresses us. It makes us hugely pessimistic. We have that we're you know constantly finding stories that reinforce that belief and there's plenty around but if we turn that around and think actually we do have a positive role to play we can become part of the try as Pat McCabe calls it the thriving design for life that we have. Humanity has a thriving design that we aren't the only species on the planet that hasn't got a place in the web of life. We have and if we come from that set of thinking that premise then how we relate to nature how we see ourselves as individuals and collectively shifts dramatically and that shift can lead to all sorts of things. So you say you know the what's manifest in the material world comes from you know our thinking humankind thinking you know what the the chairs that we sit on the desks the computers the buildings we have that our agricultural systems they all manifest out of our cultural beliefs and our paradigms and our values and our priorities of what we you know what we focus our human ingenuity into creating is it do we focus our human ingenuity into creating better iPhones or eliminating poverty you know and it's maybe not on either all how you know but where do we put our priorities and that's where then the you know the things in the material world shift. So those premises sort of create the foundation then from the toolkit and they're more that that's a couple to get going with. Yes it's very interesting this idea that humans are a problem we should get rid of them well the earth should get rid of them but it's not us as human beings that are the problem it's the some of the behaviors we're doing at the moment because some of the things we do are still lovely it's just a few other things we're doing are creating a big mess from a social and environment perspective and so we just need to change those I mean Charles Eisenstein has lovely quotes about humans are kind of in the teenage phase and we're just playing with our gifts and we haven't quite figured out what we're doing yet and we're making a bit of a mess but our situation now is to find a way through that and Bill mollison talked about you know we know everything we need to know to fix the the earth situation but what we didn't have so much of in the west at least was a cultural understanding of how to do that and what you've done with your new book in particular has brought that really sort of the latest version of how we might do that providing us with a lovely toolkit. So for me it's yeah it's the latest version of this lovely kind of framework and I think when when you sit down and you spend a lot of time writing the book and I know you do you're very good at getting disciplined and writing your books and what you're doing is you're taking time it's taking new time but you're putting things in a framework that just makes it a lot easier for the rest of us to just okay now I know what to do and I could and yeah so let's talk a little bit more about the book itself so then the bulk of the book is these three phases as you call them and do you want to tell a little bit about these three different phases of cultural emergence? Yeah so they're the phases are challenge and awaken, moving, invigorate and nourish and empower and when we have a balance of those in our lives it leads to more regeneration because it leads to this emergence so we're not stuck we're not stagnant we're moving forward and it's a regenerative process it's renewal it's invigorating and so you know the challenge and awaken it stimulates us it gets us thinking you know we've been very much in a challenge and awaken phase over the last 12 months collectively patterns have disrupted it's like we're in cultural quicksand what's happening here but that can lead us then into well how do we move forward then what's our vision what do it what can we use in terms of design process to manifest things in our lives and then the nourish and empower phase it's about connecting with ourselves with other people with the more than human world and how that can resource us for the other phases and we need to bring those into balance and that's really I feel what one of the you know my intentions moving into this new year is how do I nourish and empower myself and others and seeing that we have had a lot of this challenge and awaken how can we do more nourishment empowerment that can lead us then into more move and invigorate can lead us into effectively designing and yeah as you say moving out of that teenage that collective humanity as teenagers into being productive and adults that can look after the earth well yeah yeah lovely thank you and so then in terms of the book's framework within each of those sections which is in a quite big long section do you have these core routines do i say a little bit more about core routine yeah so if we think of cultures as you know habits and this web of patterns you know habits being patterns in our lives pattern thinking packet patterns of behaving so if we create these routines these practices that we do regularly in our lives and this is where it isn't just a book to read it's a toolkit to use if we use them regularly then they become our personal culture and our personal culture then ripples out into the cultures we're part of and so they become part of our own culture part of this web of patterns that we have by doing them regularly so i call them yeah core routines from john's work in nature connection what are the core routines yeah connection and then what are the all practices routines the habits patterns that we create in our lives yeah there's a very lovely introduction by john in your book honouring your work which i really enjoy reading and yeah thank you it's yeah he's been really lovely to work with him and to get it for it to come from this emergent space with with him and with maddie harland who's editor and your publisher as well as mine and you know she's very much bought her wisdom into this from teaching and i've been co-teaching with star hawk as well so and andy gouldering so a lot of other people have bought their wisdom into developing this toolkit as well and then we have the principles of cultural emergence because in permaculture we like principles don't we do and it's and i think you call it something about principles and moving forth so it's about how do we that last part of the book is very much about creating sort of momentum really isn't it and where do we go from here so exactly and how do we do this on a small scale of ourselves what the you know the cultures of you know how do we create a culture of self-esteem of trust for ourselves how do we create a culture of collaboration in our family for example you know how do we create a culture of safety in our neighborhood what are these cultures that we're trying to create how can we name them and help them to move forward and manifest yeah very much yeah so it was nice for me as well too as i was say skimming through at this point but to come across you know so thinking differently so your seven ways to think differently which is one of those books that i remember getting through quite quickly because it's a relatively small book but you know fascinating um but it sort of sat on its own to some degree although it was sort of attached to this one although of course there's a later there's a new version of this now isn't there there is yes this is the second edition second edition so but it's sort of loosely attached itself to that but within the cultural emergence book this then becomes part of challenge and awaken because it's about how you look at the world isn't it and how you're thinking about what you're seeing and then your design web which i remember you talking about originally the design web was sort of something was part of the book but it was the thing that most people seem to grab from the book and make use of in many really interesting ways and so then that becomes that's become part of um is it move and invigorate move and invigorate section isn't it so in here it has yeah so it was really nice for me because i love putting things together i'm very much the kind of person that i don't do jigsaws but i see the world like a jigsaw of ah that this whole chunk over here joins to this chunk here and look they fit and look it's a bit missing so what is that bit and it feels very much like this book has been has done that so you spent time making the jigsaw of all the parts and the parts that you've you've come up with and created and parts that other people have that fit nicely on there um and that for me is what feels particularly exciting for me about reading this book hold on i'll probably be told off if i spend too much time reading at the moment um because that's writing a book as well it seems to me looking at the structure of the book that that's what you've done is you've just pulled the door together in a really nice way that it fits beautifully um and so it's absolutely why i would thoroughly recommend anybody particularly if they read any of your other books before but even if they haven't doing any kind of permaculture that it's key for us to understand this bit because it is all about how do we work together in order to create a better world in the physical sense as well because this is the bit that we haven't done very well yet so yes totally thank you and it's yeah i mean as you your your quotes on the back of the book are there it belongs in the hands of every changemaker and in the hands it's a doing book and it's it's not just about like you know we know we say that permaculture isn't just about the garden and it can be used permaculture can be used for designing anything and what i really love from hearing people's stories that have read people in permaculture it's like oh and then i went to i went on to use your design web for caring for my elderly parent or for moving house or for changing jobs or setting up my own business or starting coaching other people you know and it's suddenly you know for learning a new language and all these things that i wouldn't have necessarily thought of to design people have gone yes i'll use this and and so and then because i'm a diploma tutor as well i get to read lots of other people's designs and i'm teaching it and so then i've i've actually sort of upgraded that information that was in people in permaculture about the design web for cultural emergencies like what are the questions that i've been asked what are the sticking points what are the things that people haven't quite understood that i've needed to explain more and so i put all of that into um this book as well maybe not all of it but it's you know it's it's an upgrade on the design web as well so they they fit together yeah well i just want to say congratulations it's fantastic to see it in print i'm very excited about it and we definitely recommend it to anyone doing community stuff permaculture stuff anyone who wants to even just get on with their neighbors it's permanent publications it's out now and it's a very lovely book thank you lube and uh all the best with whatever you're doing this year thanks Rania bye bye


Hey, what's up, guys? It's Chris Pike. My friends call me, Banksy. Back in action. Today, I want to show you some new, brand new AI image generator and AI sketch to image or drawing to image generation. Let me show you what I'm talking about. Let's start with the AI image generator. First off, go to free pic.com. This just launched a few hours ago. It's brand new. When you click on it, you can go ahead and hover on it and then presto. I've gone ahead and opened up the text to image. If you want to change it, you can go ahead and do that. You just click back here and then under tools, you'll see that there is Picasso. The first one is AI image generator. Here we go. Now look at this. I've already created a few of them. First things first, you get 20 generations per day for free.  You get 20 cracks at this. Now, what am I going to do here? I've gone ahead and done a comic book style. I've done a photo style. Let's go ahead and do, I don't know. Just do a Labrador, I don't know, smiling at his mom. Something silly like that. Just having some fun here. And then you'll see on the left side, they've got a bunch of different styles. They've got 11 styles already. You can do an anime, pixel art, low poly, painting, cyberpunk, et cetera. In this case, let's do it as a cartoon. Why not? You can select the coloring you want. I'm going to go with pastel, but there's lots of different styles here. If you want to try the orange and teal, it's really nice. Vibrant is good, too, and dramatic, actually. You can light it, studio light it, warm, cinematic lighting, just all different types of lighting. I'm going to light this one golden hour. Why not? And then for framing, portrait, macro, et cetera, et cetera, there's a whole bunch of different styles here. I'm going to do a portrait because why not? And then here's the thing. This is actually branded as the fastest AI image generator out there. It is like literally real time. Let's see how long this took here. That's about three seconds, four seconds, five seconds. Okay, five seconds. So not perfect, but hey, look at that. Cartoon pastel coloring golden hour portrait. And look at these. These are pretty cool. Maybe not exactly what you want, but hey, this looks pretty darn good. Not bad for free. And presto, and if you don't get what you want here, you can always regenerate or you can just restart and take out. If I don't want it to be pastel, I want to get rid of the cartoon, I can just go ahead and do that and presto, it will create another version, Labrador smiling at his mom, but without the cartoony section. So there you go. Look at that. This is pretty damn impressive. I'm not going to lie.  So that's the first thing. Link is in, of course, the description below, but there's more. Check this out.  And now check this out. If I go to the tools and I go to Picasso with a K, strange. I know it also has sketch to image and this is free as well. And it's actually kind of cool here. So here we go. If you look at the left side, this is the drawing. I didn't draw this. This is by default. But here's the right side. It's got all these cool looking jellyfish looking things. Now, how good is it? Watch this. I'm just going to click on that. Oh, never mind. I'm going to command Z that. I'm going to go ahead and I am going to select, click on the select here. And I'm going to grab maybe this jellyfish here. I'm going to hold down the Alt or the Option key to duplicate it. Now watch on the right side. You'll see a jellyfish right here, Presto out of nothing. It just creates it on the fly. This is absolutely bonkers. If you know how to draw, this tool is for you. I'm going to create another jellyfish and it's literally creating this out of a circle. Like this is basically not a circle, but I mean it's just an ellipse and they're turning them into jellyfishes. So here's the, here's the prompt up here at the top. Jellyfish is swimming in the ocean, magical ambient light, beautiful rocks at the bottom. Look at this. This is crazy how good this is. So this is just one example. You can of course go over here, re-imagine it and bang you. If you like what you got, click on download. You can make a few changes here. I'm going to take the landscape version and damn download it. It's done. I've got it. Let's open it. See what we got. Look at that. It created it just like that, guys. This is a free tool. It just launched today. It's pretty wild. It's pretty fast. You got to try it out. Thanks for watching.


It's been a much more stable period. It makes it sound a bit uninteresting, but it's not uninteresting to suddenly be able to do all of these things again without even thinking about it. A couple of months ago I went down to London for the day to have lunch with some people that I used to work with in the 1980s. Walked in and it was like the hearing loss person's nightmare. It was this huge room with hard surfaces everywhere and it was packed and I had a can I do this moment and it was really really noisy and then actually I can. I think my brain starts doing what hearing people's brains do and they start to zone out the background noise so that I can I can hear. So yeah sometimes I still think gosh can I do this but nearly always I can and one of the best things about it is that I forget that I'm wearing it. I never think about it at all it's just completely liberating and feels feels completely natural completely natural. University of Third Age is a great thing. It's an organisation where retired people put on activities and groups and classes and I had this idea that I would really like to run a class on the history of council housing because I worked in housing management for all of my career and it was something that I find fascinating and which I know a lot about. I first had that idea I suppose about three years ago and then you know I had this thing and my hearing just went over the edge there was another pronounced it and I just couldn't conceive of actually being able to run the class and then I got the implant and around the classes I just loved it. It was such fun. It was wonderful that if people asked me questions I could hear what they were saying and it was wonderful that in the coffee break and throughout on a visit people could talk to me and I could understand them but what was also wonderful was that I just again felt completely comfortable running that sort of group. It was losing the confidence to do it totally and then regaining the confidence to do it which was so dramatic and I just I just loved that. It's one of the most life affirming things that I've done post implant because it just seemed to symbolize the fact that here is something that I just completely lost the ability to do and then I can do it. I can do it quite confidently and had a great time. Met lovely people. I found it very difficult to remember how things had been. I just got used to her being able to hear things the whole time being able to talk to her and then knowing that she would hear that you you forget how it was and you just sort of well you know you accept in a way this is this is it this is how it is and it's great and you just carry on and live your life like everyone else is doing really which is a wonderful thing. I've been ringing my friends I've been ringing the hospital so yesterday I rang a friend in London and we chatted for half an hour and she said this is just like speaking to anybody else there are you just you know this is great it's just perfectly normal and I could hear her very clearly. I think the real nub of it though comes when there are things that you can only do by phone yeah and you you'd had to ask me to do them yeah and I think that's the really important change if you can do those instead of not being dependent on me that's a really positive thing yeah yeah it is it is. The other day I lost my keys out my car keys out on a walk with the dog there I am in the wiles of Yorkshire miles from anywhere what you do you ring your husband I've lost my car key but just that automatic picking up the phone and speaking is now feeling quite normal so I'm going to keep on practicing doing all of those things and I'm sure I can pine that'll be fine. The fact that you feel more confident about things means you've got you've got much more energy to do anything you're getting involved in different things and therefore you're leading you're leading much fuller life as a result of that which is how it should be. That's certainly true that's certainly true. Just all came flooding back didn't it? I do I do. You've actually got back who you are.


Hello and welcome to the section. I'm Priyanka and this question says write the general term in the expansion of x square minus yx raised to the power 12 where x is not equal to 0. Here we need to write down the general term of this expansion. So let us proceed on with our solution. We know that the general term of r plus one-eth term is equal to ncr a raised to the power n minus r b raised to the power r. Now here we are given the expression that is x square minus yx raised to the power 12. First of all, let us convert it and write it down as x square plus minus yx raised to the power 12. Now here if you compare it with the general term here a is equal to x square b is equal to minus yx and c is n is equal to 12. Now on substituting the values of a, b and n in the given formula we have tr plus 1 is equal to 12cr a is x square raised to the power 12 minus r and b here b is minus yx raised to the power r. Now if you open it, we have 12cr x raised to the power 24 minus 2r minus yx raised to the power r. Which can be written as minus 1 raised to the power r, here negative sign is taken before 12cr x raised to the power 24 minus 2r multiplied by y raised to the power r x raised to the power r. Now here we have the same basis. So we have minus 1 raised to the power r 12cr x raised to the power 24 minus r it can be written as minus 2r plus r can be written as minus r y raised to the power r. Which becomes the answer of our solution that is minus 1 raised to the power r 12cr x raised to the power 24 minus r y raised to the power r. This is the general term of the given expression. This completes the session. I hope you enjoyed the session. Take care.


Masha'Allah nice to share this space with you before this closure I just wanted to begin with the clarification about my education of course I had been studying for much more than once in my life and at Katerine University Masha'Allah I did have the pleasure to study there but I still haven't believed the Quran but insha'Allah I hope to one day you know by Masha'Allah I've less been blessed to memorize quite a bit of it and I completed the Kulia of Sharia although I did take classes in the traditional school as well right and so I was there they gave us a break right you know so and I was there there was some Russian students from Moscow as well who study at the and the Kharouyan traditional school but I believe that it's great to be here tonight to see a lot of you know old friends people I've been seeing for a while Masha'Allah course it began by stinking thinking the start of the worship for the invitation to come to speak here tonight as well you mentioned to me that he wanted me to speak for about 20 minutes but I'm afraid that I might go a little bit overboard because I would also speak from the heart as well and Masha'Allah is also Mr. Ahmed James we call it radical blue Masha'Allah as I mentioned before that we actually would classmates at one point at the GTU and and he didn't ask me to say this but if there's any reason to buy his book is he has books in the book they shine a song right Shala and there's any reason to buy his book is because of that poem he just read about from him I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so fine I lost my social mercy I knew him so hey and he was in one of the most gentle souls very humble person and the beautiful brother and and actually I had multiple mini exchanges with him via text prior to his passing I mean I lost my I don't know but it's a mercy and I see you be kind to his wife as well we're here tonight of course because we are celebrating commemorating an important pivotal event in the life of the Masjid Alayhi Salatu Wasalaam see the co-name with the Qareem the master of the two planes of existence and the two weighty creatures the Jinns and men as Jinns the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say you to co-name that he was of course the master of alam al-gayb and shahada the the realm of the scene and yancy al-murta al-malakut al-malakut and the sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as we know was that miraculous event when Allah was invited him to his kingdom and to witness the kingdom we know that on a one occasion he asked Allah to show him how he gave life back to the dead and Allah showed him in order to comfort his heart to remove any doubt from them about it but Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he showed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam how the entire universe works the workings of this this universe and often we forget that there's an unseen realm and it really what really matters is what happens in that unseen realm we know that prior to this great event this journey from as Koran says glory be to him who took his servant by night from the masjid al-haram to the masjid al-Aqsa that masjid or that place of worship which has been abounded with blessings in order that we show him from our signs and what great signs he had been shown at that night alayhi sallatu sallam but this is also a story of love as of course the said of the rush of you highlights is this is about love and what's love look like we know true love there is their ups and downs there's mokrah or munshab munshab thus moments of of great joy and celebration and sometimes there's moments of struggle and displeasure and we are asked to bear patiently in those moments of displeasure sometimes we celebrate through giving gifts to our beloveds to prove our love to them and what was preceded by the islamic Raj was ten years of great struggle Allah called the masjid al-Ali sallatu sallam to deliver a message to his people purify God's house that's what my job is I've not come here to take away your status and your power your position I'm coming here to tell you that Allah is not pleased with seeing the worship of other things along with him and he wants his house to be purified and that's all he was asking them to do something very simple to be truly honest but they didn't believe that yes we have to do something else it can't be true that that's all he wants he has to be trying to be he has to be trying to set him up sub himself up to become the next king or the ruler or the leader of this of this peninsula but that's all he wanted at the today proven by the fatima and we know that three years prior to the islamic Raj there was a embargo there's a he saw and of the the Muslims they were almost starved to death and at the end of those three years the Prophet sallam he experienced great sadness and we know that in the books of fear I said that this is called the year said it said it's amir kuzum and pop and then contrary to popular understanding or at least important to shake it on the bottom of the site on the bottom of the bottom up it said the reason why this year is called the year said this is not because he lost his wife Khadija I said I guess it's just by the way that's making sure you should say this but actually what they people used to say very long ago after every time someone died but not only because he lost his wife and he lost his uncle Raju Allah on time I'm sorry that of course the Sunnis even though of course it's a lot about the question of the fate of our thought of the question she got city he died a Muslim what's in there say did not die what's up if no if she shaman the seerah gives the impression that they see he died a Muslim to be so young so long as best of his fate but anyway we be Sunnis we're orthodox but I thought that we know was kind to the messengers that's what's not but the point being that I'm a say Ramadhan ad-Dhoti Raju Allah on Rahmata Ali he says that it was called in the year of sadness because that was the year where in the Prophet saw as Allah he found the greatest opposition and he couldn't find an ear open to his message anymore the Quran says we know that it saddens you to hear what they say but it said it's not you that they reject they reject the signs of God we know that it's saddened you but what is interesting is after this we know he goes to talk and he's looking for after the he saw it as over because the time he's rejected by the people eventually he's pelted and finds his way to a place where he sits down he makes that special prayer that we all know that they're beautiful prayer perhaps the most beautiful prayer of the seerah Allahumma inni ashquha Allahumma inni ashquha ilayka ta'fa quwati wa qulilatahilati wa hawani'a al-nas oh Allah I complain to you the weakness of my strengths the ineffectiveness of my strategy and my debasement in the eyes of the people yeah I'm a lot of me and talk about the team on top of me oh all merciful of those who show mercy you are the Lord of the week and you are my Lord and we know the rest of the the prayer but what is interesting about this is that outside of the fact that towards the end of the prayer he says that if these things that are happening to me are not a sign of your anger and your wrath upon me do what you may with me it doesn't matter whatever of course I want things to be easy but do what you may with me and what is interesting is that we reflect upon what has happened recently in Turkey in Syria where Allahumma ta'ala grant relief to the people the Muslims and others who have been tried in that area in that part of the world is that when you see the videos of survivors and you see the celebration people are not blaming God and that they're a law but they're not rejecting Allah was despite everything as if they themselves has heard the lessons enough as well if this is not a sign of your wrath as long as you're not angry with me I'm not concerned it doesn't bother me that you do this but what's interesting is that when the Prophet ﷺ decides to head back to Makkah he eventually he reaches a place called Nakhla and he is Aireen Harith or Rajallah and they pray and that is he's reciting Allah ﷺ he sends past them a group of the jinn and then later on he tells the Prophet ﷺ about what happened say it's been revealed to me that a delegation of the jinn that they listen to the Quran and they said this is a marvelous recitation this is a marvelous book it guides to the straight path we believe in it and so we will never ascribe any partners to Allah ﷺ and reflect upon when we turn to your direction a delegation of the jinn and they were listening to the Quran and once they came to it they said they said to one another be silent and listen and then once he was finished they returned to their people there's a book that has been revealed after Musa ﷺ affirming what came before it etc it guides to the truth and to a straight path and anyway the point being that it's as if Allah ﷺ is already sending a message to the Messenger ﷺ even though or despite the fact that those in the material realm are rejecting you then those in the spiritual realm they have received you they have accepted you so first sign of consolation that the Prophet ﷺ received he didn't lose faith he was committed to his mission and then he goes back he makes his way to Makkah he spent the night in the house of his cousin Umar and then the angel comes to him of that night and then that night Allah ﷺ takes him to Mashallah ﷺ he leaves the prayer the angel shows him the maharaj and the Prophet ﷺ said there's nothing more beautiful than I have ever seen in the maharaj and it is to the maharaj that every single person when he or she dies is fixated on that your eyes when people died their eyes become fixated in certain direction what are they looking at they're looking at the maharaj and then he takes them up and when he arrives he sees a man who's observing something something's being shown to him what is being shown to him people as he they pass and transition out of this ground and then when one of them dies a kathar that man says Ruhun Khabitha, Kharajat bin Jassid bin Khabith, a foul soul that came out of a foul body and when someone died a believer who said Ruhun Khaibah, Kharajat bin Jassid bin Khaibah, a good soul that came out of a good body and so the Prophet asked Jibril A.S. he said what was this? He said this is your father, Adam he's presented with the or shown his progeny and he makes comment about them he expresses his discontent with those reject Allah S.A.W. so once again it's he just la ilaha illallah, that's his message he also eventually makes his way to what's called Babun HaFala, the gate of the guardians and at the gate of the guardians is an angel his name is Ismail and Ismail he turned to Jibril he says Jibril who is this? And then Jibril says Adam Muhammad and then Ismail responds, Allah Khabib has already been sent because all the angels are waiting to hear news of Muhammad A.S. Khatim al-Amiyya and al-Mursaleen and in every lehevani goes into the every angel they're asking him has he already been sent? He's already been sent. The angels are greeting them everybody's happy they're smiling and you're welcome and then he passes by one angel and the angel he greets him but he's not smiling, he's frowning and the Prophet thought that was strange as I was happy listen he goes to Jibril he said what was that? He says oh that Dismatic, the treasure is the keeper of Jihannam, of the hellfire and he said if he were to smile he would have smiled at you but he didn't smile at anyone. He said you're no more worthy smile than being smiled at but you. This is how he is. So then he takes him to the second heaven.  In the fourth heaven he meets Prophet Idris al-Alih as-salam. He continues he goes to the next heaven he meets Haroon, Aaron, the brother of Musa al-Alih as-salam and then he meets Musa the sixth heaven and then the seventh heaven he meets Ibrahim al-Alih as-salam and then eventually Jibril he tells him there's a point that we have reached and only you can go I can't go there to that point. This point is the extreme limit of the universe and then that point in that place there is a great tree called Siza Ratul Muntah, the low tree of the highest point. And the Prophet says some of them he mentored into that area and in some of the narrations they say that it was as if thousands of golden butterflies appear they scab and then eventually Allah swt begins to speak to him. So Allah swt brought him into his kingdom and he leaves him and he speaks to him shows him the dominions of the heavens and the earth and then he sent him back with a gift and that gift was a gift of 50 prayers. At least to start.  Ask him to give you to lighten your burden and he goes back and a lot. Okay 40 and goes back. There's no too many. No okay 30 okay 20 until eventually he makes it to five. This five are equivalent to 50 and then the Prophet swt of course he's too afraid to or to ashamed to return to Allah. If the Musa says it's not on this too much they won't be able to have even five. I have experienced this with my own people. So of course he returns but fundamental point is this. This is all after everything that he had come through. We know that he started his life. He never knew his father. He only knew his mother for about a year. He goes into the care of his grandfather and he loses his grandfather not very long after that then of course into the care of Abu Talib. But in his life you know later on in of all of his children all of them die except for one of them Fatima Zahra. And we pray in every single raka'a prayer we say Deena surat al-staqeen. God is truly straight path.  They are the prophets. That's what these people and fundamentally what we're asking Allah of course to make us like them. In other words it's as if we're asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala not to test us but that if he does test us that he allow our reactions to be similar to their reactions. In other words we are expected to receive hardship in our lives. Moments of displeasure. The prophet said the people with the hardest tribulations, the hardest tests are the prophets and then those who are next to them in likeness and those who are next to them in likeness. So we're asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make us like them. But we look at the stories of the prophets in the Qur'an. We don't see that this is the moments of joy, the moments of pleasure and luxury. We actually have to see the opposite. I had him out of his son. I was tried by his sons. I knew how he said I was tried by his son and his wife. I knew how he said I was his wife. He rejects faith in him. Ya'u tried by his children. He was tried by his brothers. Challenging. Challenge after challenge. That would be fine. And so it is not a sign of Allah's hatred to us if we find ourselves in tribulation at times. Especially if we're not responsible for placing ourselves in those considerations. Sometimes we can place a burden on ourselves greater than we can bear. We can do it to ourselves. And when we do it to ourselves, we make bad decisions. And of course we can't blame Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But sometimes things just come our way. And when those things come our way, that's usually a sign that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants to test us. It is not a sign of love necessarily that you get all that you want. It is not a sign of hatred that you don't get everything that you wanted.  But this is a sign of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's treatment of his beloved. This is a way that he treats his beloved. He will as some would say that the one affid the hypocrite Allah answers their prayers right away. The believer Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he lets him continue to pray because he loves to listen to the the please of the believers, the please of his friends. In any rate, again, I apologize for going for so long, you know, but I just wanted to take an opportunity to to just speak from my heart and reflect upon, you know, things that, you know, life is real. Death is real. All of us want to leave this world as part of life is a it's not a very attractive or please in fact to reflect upon what all of us are going to transition. We were not created for this world created for the next world and we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that he allow for us to leave this world upon him that we live upon Islam and be asked him as well that he bless and reward those who have left this world already and really, we unite all of us inshallah and Jannah and the company of the messenger Aleyhi salatu wa s-salam.


Thank you, everybody, for being here today. It is Sunday, the last day of our work here from Atlanta, and I am so honored to be here. I'm also excited to talk about this topic, and it seems like AI is just everywhere. So, well, I want to clarify by the way that this is kind of a big introduction, but before I get into it, I could ask everybody raise their hands. Has anybody in here been trying or using AI? Pretty good. I also would like to know, has anybody tried to use it for project management? That's good. So I'll begin with a introduction to how to use it in project management. So as I go on, in project management, I should like a professional project manager if I could explain who I am. And what I do is I help agencies, small agencies, micro-assessors, or even small business owners manage the project. And that's how I kind of fell into it. Let me kind of give you a life story. So this is kind of a story telling time. And this is a real life story. It's not something I would wish on anybody. About eight years ago, yeah, eight to 10 years ago, we started our house and bought a business. And we had to move out of our house in 30 days and moving to a new location out of the state and take over the business in 41 days. So everything had to happen in a span of 40, five days, but we had to move out of our house in 30 days. This is where a project manager from a company had to finance. Get it?  The house that we were living in, we were living for 18 years. Three bedroom racks, two cargo racks. And my husband was at the time working for time for somebody. After all, it was the time that we were doing it and it was the busiest time of the year. Time for shows, face shows, year-end wrap-up. Me, I was working remotely at the time, pretty late at the time. He said, you got this, babe, mm-hmm, yeah. So what I had to do was I worked backwards and figure out how to get everything organized we were moving out of the house in 30 days. In the house that we were living on for 18 years. The manager. For those that lived in the same house for 18 years. So you can imagine that there are things that we've accumulated over the 18 years, right? So I had to map everything out. So I start backwards, getting, making sure I had my truck for orders, making sure I had batteries, making sure I had the supplies, and then I had to map out what room that was in the tackle. And then I had to figure out where we were gonna live. Where I was gonna live, he was not gonna move in with me two weeks after I moved into the house. So as you can see, so if you can imagine that, I actually received my book, but it would be back for sale both. By room, I had dump trucks, I had donation days, and I needed to say it's not something I would recommend. It was the pound every day, because there was anybody. But I was able to move out of that house on October 31st, and I moved into my rental factory at that night, October 31st, with my dog, with two cats. And of course, the moving trucks did not arrive until two days later, about a second, I stepped on the floor of the rental factory for two days. And then I started on my new business a week later, and my husband joined me, two weeks after. This is where a pack of medicine comes in handy. And with my skill set, I figured if I could do that, then I could become a class of medicine for any time. And that's how I was able to convince people to hire me for class of medicine. So anyway, but that's my story. And that's kind of how I got into it. And then when AI started to go pack up, I started to think about, okay, can AI help with class of medicine? My answer was yes. I see AI as a tool. I'm sure all of us who've been using it, it's a tool. But you gotta know how to use it, along the process management task that we do in the day-to-day life as a practice manager. So the way I see it, it helps me to become more efficient, stay more time, make better decisions, and then more time to lead and mentor your team. As a lead practice manager, use that with not just putting together a book, putting together the document, managing the budget, but it's also leading and mentoring your team.  So that's how I look at the AI, because when you're managing multiple projects, you feel like the day is at. My other mission is that you're not struggling with that data to be able to lead and mentor your team. Okay, so that's where I was looking at. How do I use the AI to help me become a better practice manager? We're always trying to be better. So let's talk about it. If we're not using it, use it. And I want to try to demonstrate how we can use it. So in a daily life of a practice manager, we all know what we have to deal with. We have proposals, which help us collaborate and put together proposals, statement work, kickoff agenda, the budget timelines to get running, managing the process, with progress resources, change management, managing the scope treat. Everybody loves managing the scope treat. And then you've got your pre-runs, the longs, the post-runs, and then the rest of the sessions. We've got all that, right? That, that, that. But it's not just one website, it's multiple websites that we have ongoing. And then we have other things. We're also helping put together a complete standard of practices, sometimes the playbook, sometimes we put together training materials and then we're mentoring and coaching. So that's the daily life of a practice manager. So it allows you to do so many things. You can automate, it can pull real-time data, it can eliminate manual errors, you do tasks, it can also assist the scope treat and a whole lot more. And with other tools that I see that are out there, there's so many. The only thing I would say is I could recommend a few, but you just don't have to experiment and find the one that works best for you. I put down a few and like for the SOP, I recommend Scribe, the speaker before she said there's room and that AI that puts together the transfer. That's good. Scribe does something similar, but it's a little bit, the next level up because that is what Scribe's purpose is. Scribe over her purpose is for passive management. So the start process for AI is helping passive managers with the SOPs and other things. So I would recommend taking a look at that. I use chat open piece, chat open AI, and then Magi and other tools. But today I just want to demonstrate how you can use it for some applications. And then if you notice the click up introduce AI, notion has AI, right has AI, team work has AI. If not incorporating them in there, try it, but you just have to figure out how to incorporate using it. Who's using click up? Okay, how about notion? Okay, how about team work? Okay. The trick with AI is found is that you need to coach it so to speak. Okay, lay the foundation with the chat GPT. I use Google chat GPT and Magi and other things. By finding out when you profit ahead of time, you can get to and generate things that you want. I start with putting in your brand voice, your client, ideal profile of the product market, and then your company core services and values. So for example, the screenshot that I have up here, that comes from a chat GPT Thursday session. So in a minute, how what chat wants to know about you. You fill that in and blow to it. You can prepare how you want them to respond. And then this is my example. I put up there. I said that I provide web design, digital marketing solutions. And then I put in my mission and my passion. And then what my goal is, okay. And then down below is my brand voice. What I want my brand voice to be is my warm approachable. And if you notice, I got a session that says we provide the best practices and growth mindset in our knowledge, okay. So for a client. Now I'm not certified in product management, but if you are certified in product management, this is where I will put it. So that's the result that you generate. It will pull from the product management or the PMI certification best practices in the outcomes. Now I played around with it and tinkered with it. And I think this audience here, with free answers to small micro agencies and other agencies, I decided I would just focus on a certain level. But I know for a fact that if you put in a package of medical practices, that's the type of results you're going to get in the outcomes. So this is what you'd be mindful of. And I'm going to start demonstrating from here at this point. So when I say chef prompt and done is the type of question that you're going to educate chef prompts, okay. You're interested in what you want, the type of response that you want. It could be anything, really. And then I have some tips that I found that will generate the best results. But you want to be descriptive, be clear, concise, and then try to break down complex query experiments. We find your enquiries and set a limit sometimes and be patient. In this slide I will share at the end that you can download it. And for me, I've been a fair machine for my own part of management because with my clients, I've had to tailor, especially with the e-commerce agencies that I work with, I have tailored my chef query specifically for that client. And then for other clients, I've tailored certain chef requirements for that client. So if you are a certain agency, just to fill both sites, they have standard packages. She can have her project manager experiment and then create specific chef queries over time after they experiment and they become standard and that they can use it over and over again. Or they'll suddenly become a standard document. It's done, okay. So I'm going to stop here. I'm going to start demonstrating here. So this is the document where I type out to fill out, this is Chef2pt. Now my version is I pay for it. This is the customer expression. And this is where I plug in my brand voice, who I am, and then down below, how you want the chef to respond. And this is what I'm suggesting. So I'm going to pick on her again. So she's an agency. So up at the top, she sort of put out her type and who she is as an agency, her brand voice, her mission statement, the type of client that they serve, okay. And then down below, okay, how do they want to respond? So if they are a passive manager, if a passive manager is certified, that's what she's going to put in there. The best practices are passive management, certification, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. But she can also mention, you know, what I asked about them. The voice tone, warm confidence, whatever that part goes in there. And then everything that is generated will come out of that. Okay. As a freelancer, the type part is also important. You need to know who you are as a freelancer. Okay.    Okay. How do you type? How do you engage? You put that up at the top and it down at the bottom. What type of response is that? Even though you say, well, I'm not a passive manager. I'm going to say, yes, you are. Yes, you are.  Okay. And here you are. You're going to say, week one, I'm going to be doing week two, I'm going to be doing week three, I'm going to be doing, you're going to be doing, you know, I'm going to say, look, if you want to get more efficient without making more money and be able to do more website classes, you've got to become a process manager. You can use ClickUp just for yourself and start doing it, organizing your process that way. So you can use this as well. So I'm going to create a new set. I have a paid version. It's $20 a month. That's the buy time. Buy time concerns. So you can use 3.5, 3.4. I go back, I've been going with 3.5. I find I get a little bit more better output results in 3.4 for some reason. But again, as I mentioned earlier, my tips, you're going to have to experiment. And you've got, so the outcomes you have to realize, sometimes the outcomes that the results should get, still requires your knowledge. Because you're a look at the outcome go, you know what, I need a Twitter account. And then you may make a decision, okay, this is good enough. I'm going to take it and put it in whatever I want and then just add. But what it's done for you is save time instead of just watching. But let me just show you. I created a smile for the color scenario. So my scenario is that we have a website that we're going to build for a CPA. So this is a scenario I created. So we're going to build a website for the CPA. And I've got a stakeholder in there. And I put in that we're going to build it with a WordPress. We're going to use some plugins. And I'm going to let's see here. I put in the hourly rate of a project manager. I put in a junior in the back end. And I put in a copywriter, UR, U.S. designer, and a quality assessment tester. Okay. So I need to create something. So, I'm going to take this copy of this document. And we're going to create a page. But I got all that, right? I'm asking about outlining the web. I've got a stakeholder. I've got the hourly rate. So I'm going to base on above. I'm going to start one at a time. I'm going to run it over one month. I'm going to create a project plan. Create a ... So what it did was it gave me a breakdown of the project plan. The home page. The back page. Server page. Blog section. Contact. Miscellaneous pages. Now I didn't say anything about the miscellaneous pages. Making suggestions. Legal. Privacy. Terms and conditions. Okay. And then the blog section. Now I did mention that we wanted some evergreen blog content. So it's making me recommend four evergreen blog topics. To write the content. Estimated hours. So break it all down. Total estimated hours for each minus hours. Okay. Now I put down that the project manager was part-time. Me. I'm fast enough. I was part-time. I also like my budget. So when there's a budget in there, we like to have a contingency. Every project manager has a contingency. And then when I put in a profit margin of 35% in that budget. So it came up with a total estimated cost per project cost. So I put in a contingency for each review. So this is the total cost to build that website. Right there. It came up with an estimated hours to build up all that. So you can look at that and go, ah, this is for if you don't have those standards as a piece. If you don't have to apply stuff. And you should start trying to figure that out. Okay. But you look at this and go, hmm. All right. Let's run with it. But let's say you look at this and go, ah, my car is not going to pay for that. I can't clean that. That's a lot of money. You have to play with it and tweak with it. But I wanted to give you another thing for that. My budget is, I guess, the burn down rate. Now the burn down rate is where I used to say, okay, the budget is $65,000. And I want to start up the timeline by spring. I need to know how much money I will be burning down each spring so I can stay within the budget. During the team, spring one and at the end, stay within the budget. Meaning, I'm not going to go over the budget if I follow this spring. I should be winding down and being able to launch a birthday within a certain timeframe. But again, but you can see how and the type of questions that you ask it can break things down for you, for a two column. Let me go to Magi. Now this is Magi that I've used which I like because this is what Magi will do for you. And this is the question that I asked using $50,000 for the budget. The question of create two columns, risk assessment of that same project the CPO website project. Okay. The bone rate the price of timeline to meet the price of budget of $50,000. With the price of module 35 percent we want to launch the website in 56 days. Same people with their hourly rate and this is what it did for me. But what I like to hear now for some reason, the CPP didn't come up with the same risk contingency that they stated. Price of run over time, miscommunication in average estimation, client unsatisfied and then the timeline milestone to pass and then down below I dive deeper into the bone rate. We want to create two based on above create statement of work by the boom, by the break statement time. Okay. I might use the type there and I'm too fit it's too much to ask for it. I don't have to worry about any type of and the only I can make sure about is this part where it's asked about the budget. Usually I don't like to let the client know I'm a profit margin that we're making in now. But that's it. I'm going to go based on above create kickoff agenda. Now, I think it's too long to kickoff agenda for 30 minutes. There's most kickoff part about 30 minutes and then you have a college asking for a client access and that you need to kickoff. Next oh, let's do some long stretchlets a pretty long stretchlet for update. It gets pretty much a lot out here with tickle theater. We view design, craft and responsiveness. It's pretty impressive. Functionality and performance. User experience. Availability. Content management system. Analytics and tracking. Security and backup. Legal and compliance. And then the user testing, the former testing and the final test. How many times have we ever forgotten about the four or four? Belling a grammar. Famous fabric lines. Those little things. Launch plan. How can we not forget about the launch plan? Post launch plan. Documentation. And this is the SLP assigned team members to the SLP. Okay. It assigned the team member to the SLP document for the launch shock. Update launch plan. Who is the reflectability guy for the pre-launch preparation? Did that in line with the step obviously to estimate the time that's involved with the team member? So as you can see, AI can really help with the process management. But you need to figure out a part of the project how to ask the right question and then it doesn't work for you. And just use it. But it does take some affirmation. And this is the result that I try to I affirmation was there some preparation for this presentation. But as I mentioned earlier I created a file for specifically for my clients and using my knowledge and I can treat and tailor it based on their needs. You can do the same. And I encourage you to use it. You can become better part of the manager become more efficient to lead the team to the next level. That pretty much wraps it up for my presentation and I'm open to questions. Big question right again. It's only been a long year I'm going to be so much more efficient now. My question is for some of the audience that my clients want to see they do want to see a rating chart just add that in if you are. Yes. You can You can do that Google Sheets How do you use Google Sheets for that? Google Sheets I added is I have this function that you can add kind of sheet GPT that you can incorporate with Google Sheets and you can ask questions and the way it works is that when you add a new let me see if I can there's this sheet here and then over here on this side you can be organized you can have whatever information like the last sheet part of it and put it in here and again you're going to have to spam it with it You can't put a lot in there you can take portions of it and put it in there it'll create foundations of the sheet and build it for you in there. It's not perfect at least the way I see it it saves you that time of building it this is the section that you would incorporate and then it starts to build up for you and that is how I was able to build this one to create the burned out short track to start asking questions within the sheet using the sheet for the particular project so that's the only suggestion that I would use and again there are a lot of apps out there you'll have to pay for and that's my concern there's so many project management apps out there and they're not just so costly especially when you're free you have to outweigh the budget so you have to pay for those 200 dollars a month for all these and I just feel like whatever you're using if it's teamwork or if it's a click app I would pay for the click app and maybe one more and then try using Google use within that and then just build what you can do with the knowledge on top of it the way I'm looking at it is we're trying to get efficient and be safe time and that's how the AI tools are I just don't see the sense of time 200 dollars worth of apps just use it where it's appropriate for what you do if you're doing nothing by creating SLPs I would recommend you pay for the squads because they don't match for SLPs but if we don't do a whole lot of SLPs you can do it with the SLPs and we'll be done with that Question back here I don't know if you touched on this or if Bryce didn't hear it have you experimented with BARD and what is your take on that versus chat team I have found great my personal opinion so it needs to be not at that level the examples that you had on there do you have a link or something because I just wanted to read through it just to see the verbiage that you used because I thought that was awesome I never really thought to use it for that I use it for AI for everything else and I never really thought to use it for but just to actually read through it get that sense of what you wrote and the type of verbiage that you used it's sort of like a link or anything that I could just click to go and see that it's certain show well you can download my slides but the examples that I put in here no I don't have this but I would be happy to if you contact me through LinkedIn or my email address I'd be happy to share that assessment so that you can use your questions through the experiment and try but again just to tell I put this event but if you need something to tell for your agency or for your needs or whatever I'd be happy to consult on that Thank you for the presentation I have a question for the future how do you see these tools change the landscape or migrating seas or small companies because for me it seems like we are doing the competitive competitive edge what do you see in the future that could be that could be a good question I mean I'm seeing it in so many ways and in terms of a tool I see it from the past as a matter of fact I see it as a tool as a way to stay time and how to be a little bit more efficient and get better data to make better solutions and also be a better leader I've seen it on the other side in terms of content I'm not saying to take off a copy right away but in the agency world is there a half of make better solutions is there a half of become better leaders in terms of better relationship with our clients with the information that we have and that's what I see if we use a property I have a two part question how much time did it take you to figure this out and then how much time do you think this has saved you maybe every week oh good question in preparation for World Camp I already talked to maybe 4 hours of experimenting and crafting and all the questions so I didn't even show you all of them so I would say about 4 hours often I'm not consistent about the product because I was experimenting I knew the questions I wanted to ask but I was trying to get the results that I thought were logical and right results in a sense were the outcomes I was looking for because I'm coaching the chat basically training for this event but for me as a project manager for my clients I would say it would save me and I was oh god probably another part of time how I'm in the way I see it between hours a week because I'm a manager of self in a week so anyway I can save more time so I can spend more time with people because I'm a client facing a project manager I would spend more time talking with my clients and more time talking with my team that I do generate a report so if I could do that that would save me probably another 15 hours a week that way perfect


We kept pushing. We utilized all our assets. I think we performed well, showed them what we got. To become the best soldier you can be, you need to train against the best adversary there is. We're facing near-peer adversaries, so we've got to keep in account that they have basically what we have. They have the same units, the same attachments. Everything that we have, we have to focus on that. So we've got to focus on a different fight, a new fight. In forms of modernisation for training it's nice to see people moving back, fighting with us, rather than some mock enemy.
