So welcome everybody to the Department of Anthropology and our open day presentation. So my name is Jacob Klein. I am the MA tutor in the anthropology department, which means I have a kind of coordinating role for all of our MA programs I help the other assist the other MA program conveners in their work a little bit from the sides. And I have with me today to my colleagues. Charlotte Sanders Dr. Charlotte Sanders who is the co convener of the MA migration and diaspora studies program. And Dr. Catherine Dolan, who is the co convener of the MA in the anthropology of global futures and sustainability program. And also I should mention, in addition to being MA tutor, I'm also a convener of the anthropology of food program. So what I thought we do today is I'm going to give a presentation, it'll last about 25 minutes, possibly up to half an hour. And hopefully I'll cover a lot of your questions already in that presentation, and that will leave us with about 30 minutes of Q&A. So you can ask me and my colleagues, any questions that you may have. Okay. So, let me say a few things about anthropology that so as so our department it is called a department of anthropology and sociology, but it's actually stopped primarily by social and cultural anthropologists as social and cultural anthropologists. We study the human condition from the perspective of the global diversities of social organization and cultural practice. It is an inherently interdisciplinary subject, which straddles the divide between the humanities, such as literature and history, and the social sciences, like sociology and political science. Anthropology as we do it here can be quite abstract and theoretical. At the same time, our theories are always grounded in real life, everyday experience, and social action social interaction. And we study these experiences and interactions, often through long term immersive ethnographic field work, in which we carefully listen to observe and participate in the lives of the people with whom we work and study. Anthropology I should highlight at so as is not just theoretical, but very much driven by concern to better understand the world in order to address social and environmental issues, ranging from gender relations to migration to food and food safety and food security from rural poverty, human health and well being to environmental degradation and climate change. Now our department is one of the leading anthropology departments or so we are told, according to the 2021 QS rankings of anthropology departments, we rank a fifth in the UK and 16th in the world and of course we're very proud of that. While we're a leading department, according to these global metrics, our department is also very small department with a friendly supportive atmosphere, and a good rapport between academics and students and I should add amongst academics as well, amongst colleagues right now like us as a whole, the anthropology department's student student body is very diverse and very international and deeply engaged in current issues. And like so as more broadly, our academics have regional expertise in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and their diasporas. We also have a concentration of thematic expertise in areas such as migration studies, food studies, medical anthropology, and especially mental health and sustainable development. Now we very much value the importance of research led teaching. So this means that all of our areas, all these areas of expertise. So which I've already mentioned, all reflected in our program and course offerings to students and in our research seminars and students are master students are invited very much invited to those research seminars. The Department of Anthropology currently houses two research centers, the Center for Migration and Diaspora Studies, chaired by Ruba Saleh who is currently on leave, and the SOAS food study center, which I am currently chair of. These centers run seminars, lectures, workshops and other kinds of events. And as I've said, they're open not just to researchers, but our events are very much open to students in the department and school. The department offers degree programs at three levels. So we have an undergraduate degree programs and if you're interested in those, you should speak to my colleague, Dr. Namu Leight. Those are the details there. We have taught research programs, taught master's programs, and we have postgraduate research degrees. And as you know, of course, I'll be speaking mostly about our MA degrees for which I'm overall coordinator. If you're interested specifically in the postgraduate research degrees. Please get in touch with my colleague Dr. Kostas, that seek us. And he's very happy to answer any questions you might have about the research program. The MRes, which some of you may be interested, the MRes social anthropology degree is something in between a taught master's degree and a research degree. It's meant primarily for students who have a prior degree in anthropology or sociology, but who need more training in, for example, research methods and or in languages prior to embarking on a full research degree. And it is categorized in the department as part of our research degrees. So it's also cost us who is convening the MRes social anthropology. So do contact him if you're interested. Now our MA degree programs do not require, let me emphasize this, we do not require prior training in anthropology or other social sciences. So at the MA level, some of our students have an undergraduate degree already in anthropology or sociology, but many do not. And many take the MA degree as a kind of conversion course into anthropology. So we currently have four programs in the department. The MA social anthropology offers a broad introduction to the discipline and a wide range of optional modules, ranging from food and migration to mental health and development. It's currently convened by Dr. Ben Bowles. So if you're interested particularly in the social anthropology program we may be able to answer some of your questions about that, but you can also contact Ben. And we also within that MA social anthropology program, we currently offer a specialized pathway in medical anthropology, and which is convened by Dr. Orchide, but it was on. And again, if you're interested specifically in the medical anthropology pathway, I do get in touch with Orchide. So the MA migration and diaspora studies program, which of course all I can tell you much more about. It focuses on the study of human abilities, and on humanitarian and refugee studies. So, as mentioned, it's co convened by Dr. Charlotte Sanders who's here, and Dr. Roba Saleh, who is currently on leave and is expected to be back in January. So the MA anthropology of food offers grounding in social anthropology, together with specialist training in food systems and food culture. As mentioned, I'm convener of that program. And apart from any questions you might have today, please, please do get in touch with me. If you're interested and you want to have a longer conversation. I'm happy to correspond by email or to speak to you by phone or zoom or something like that. Finally, the MA anthropology of global futures and sustainability is a new program, which offers students the opportunity to explore and address some of the major debates of our day on issues such as climate change, sustainable development and global equality. It's co convened by Dr. Catherine Dolan, Dr. Ben Bowles, and Professor Ed Simpson. And I hope, Charlotte and Catherine that I haven't misrepresented your programs. But of course you can add more to that in a few minutes during the Q&A. I want to say a few things about the structure of the MA programs, just you have a kind of fundamental understanding of how they work. So each MA program consists of a combination of compulsory and optional courses or modules. I'm going to use the language of modules now because that's what you'll get in the SOAS on the SOAS website and in the SOAS literature. So theoretical approaches to social anthropology is a good example of one such compulsory module. It provides grounding in the key schools of thought in the discipline and is compulsory for all students without a first degree in anthropology or sociology with the exception of students on the MA migration and studies program, which as you can hear from the name, it does not have anthropology in the title of that program. Often students on that program are typically encouraged to take a theoretical approaches to social anthropology. It is a great course or module, excuse me, but it is not a requirement for migration to ASPR study students. I should point out that currently if you look at the website, you'll see that theoretical approaches to social anthropology is taught over two terms. So both in term one, which is October through December and in term two, which is January through March. But actually from next year, only the first part of theoretical approaches to social anthropology. So those of you who may be coming in next year will only have to do the half option as it were. You'll only have to do the first part of that of that module. The second part will be optional. Ethnographic research methods is a training course in ethnographic fieldwork methods. And again is normally compulsory for all MA students without a background in anthropology and sociology and even for many students who have an anthropology undergraduate. A lot of undergraduate programs don't actually offer methods training. So that would be a requirement for you as well. And if you're concerned, you can ask your program convener and they can advise you on that. This is currently this year it's scheduled for term one, but actually from next year it'll be taught in term one. So for those of you. What you'll have is your kind of core anthropology compulsory modules theoretical theoretical approaches in term one and the ethnographic research methods in term two. Another compulsory module for all of you is a the dissertation and anthropology, which is a final research based dissertation of 10,000 words supervised by a member of the department, but mentored by all of us. And each program then each program and pathway will have two distinctive compulsory modules. So for example for the anthropology of food, you have two modules one called politics place and mobility and one called diet society and environment and you have to take both of those. If you're on the anthropology of food program. If you're not on the anthropology of food program, you may choose one or the other as an optional module, but not both of them. So, as I said, so, as I've mentioned, our all of our programs offer a range of optional modules. And these include specialist courses in a region, or in a particular area of anthropology such as climate change. So as I suggested they often also offer one, one or two compulsory courses on the other anthropology programs, as in the food example that I've just, that I've just given. And students may also take course modules in other departments, they're open modules available in other departments, and these include of course, the many languages that are taught at so as. Good. So I'm speeding through this or actually have more time for q&a. Let me know if I'm speaking too quickly. I have a tendency to do that sometimes. So just interrupt me if you can, if you can follow. Okay, so let me say a few things about our modes of study. Our full time mode on our programs is one year and that is one year it is 12 calendar months from September through to September. And it is an intensive program. So you have to be expected to be working, you know, on the program full time effectively. Most of your coursework, as I've already suggested, takes place is actually carried out currently between October and April so in term one, and in term two, most of the work towards your dissertation will be done between April and September. Broadly speaking, that's kind of how it pans out for those of you on normal full time mode. So students who are normally resident in the UK or Ireland can also take the program on a part time basis. So for either part time over two years, or even part time over three years, and I should. Point out that actually all of our master's programs are available are you can you can get student loads UK student loans to take our master's programs. That includes the full time program, the part time program over two years. This is for those who are normally eligible to apply for student loans in the UK. I should point out that if you want to do the program part time over three years. That is not compatible with the student loan, we would not be able to do eligible for student loan to do it over three years. Finally, in terms of pathways, we have something called anthropology of anthropology food or migration to ask for studies and intensive language, and this is a full time, 24 months, two year program. And that includes a language school. So in the first year you do both anthropology, you know your discipline and language in the summer you do a summer language school and the following year. In the second year you also do a combination of both disciplinary modules and language modules. And this is so this is co convene between us in anthropology and the people's in the respective languages departments. So currently, languages available for this pathway, or as you say normally, a language is available for the path for this two year pathway, include Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, and Indonesian. And again just to reiterate, you can also take one or more language modules as part of your ordinary full time or part time anthropology, only program as well. These languages and many many many other languages that are offered at so as quickly on funding I've already mentioned something about student finance postgraduate loans. There's also a limited number of scholarships available. This is a link to that page. It is currently being updated for 2022 intake. So what's up there now or last check a couple of days ago anyway. It's not actually current but it is and I expected the next over the next few weeks, you should have information about scholarship availability of possibilities for next year. And finally, a few things about careers. You know, alumni of our MA programs go on to a variety of careers, and these include research degrees in anthropology and similar disciplines, geography, sociology and so on also love our students going to do. They involve careers in media in government and policy in humanitarian and development work in corporate research and in consultancies and public health. And now to some extent, career pathways are shaped by particular by the particular degree that you've chosen. And several of our programs have internship based course modules and other modules that train students in making connections between academia on the one hand, and the worlds of employment outside of academia. On the other hand, and these modules are directed practical study in the anthropology of food and internship based module which is convened currently by my colleague, Dr Catherine Dolan is here today. We have the from theory to practice and back workplace and placements in migration research, and this is within the migration and diaspora studies program and available only to students on that program as Charlie can tell you more about. And we have the module, how to change things, which is, which is a required module for MA anthropology of global futures and sustainability, but is also open to students on other programs. I'd also encourage you to have a look at our website to explore testimonials from former students, both by the departmental web pages, and also the by the department the anthropology of food alumni page has it has a specific page for those of you are interested in that program we can read all about some of the things that students have gone on to do after completing the program. And finally here is a slide that has been prepared for you, not by me, but it has gives us some examples give you some examples of organizations and careers that are anthropology graduates have gone on to work in and develop. So, thank you very much. That's me. And thanks for your attention and any questions. I'll leave that slide up for a few minutes and I'll move back to a slide with our names or something like that. Thank you so much Jacob. Like I said previously if you've got any questions for you don't want to raise your hand you don't want to unmute your camera no problem, you can pop them in the chat box, and our academics can answer them. Or if not if you want to unmute yourself. We can take a question that way. You've been incredibly comprehensive presentation. So I'll take that as a as a good sign perhaps. Or just a terribly boring presentation maybe even. So maybe not a great sign. But of course, as mentioned earlier, I mean we're all of us. Catherine Charlotte and myself we're all very happy for you to get in touch with us if you have further questions. And also, I should point out the same is true of our colleagues, other, you know, convenience and other programs and also, like I said I'm happy to meet with you in person, as well, or via email, phone, video link, etc. We've just had a question come in that says, would it be possible for Catherine to speak a little bit about the global futures and sustainability module. Hi everyone. Can you hear me. Okay. Hi everyone. And this is Kayla. Thanks for the question. This is a new program that we're running an anthropology this year so we're having a kind of inaugural year. And it really aims to bridge social and environmental perspectives to sustainability so we, there's three required courses on this module. The first is the anthropology of sustainability, which is focuses on issues around indigenous economies, alternative economies. What is sustainability climate change. We look at extraction and sort of the environmental collapse and crises that we currently face. And the second required course is the anthropology of climate change where you dig deep into obviously climate impacts and spend the term really teasing out the various kind of threats to our environment and possible solutions to it and as Jacob mentioned, the third required course within the program is how to change things where we move from critiquing and examining the issues around sustainability and around social justice and social equality to what are we going to do about it what are some of the kind of practical technical technologies and initiatives that we can develop to actually move forward and address the challenges that we face as a society and a planet. So, as I mentioned, it's a new program. This year, we have, we have bi-weekly group meetings where we discuss either topical issues or in term to bring in practitioners who are working on issues of sustainability within either the private sector or the public sector. So, I think that students can get a sense of how they might move forward, take these issues from, you know, a space of critique and academic engagement into the real world and, you know, begin to participate and engage in solutions to these crises as part of their career growth. And just one final point. The program also of course, as Jacob noted, includes the requirement to take the standard MA anthropology courses, core courses in ethnographic research methods and theoretical approaches to social anthropology. It's not a interdisciplinary program final point, but one that provides you with a very strong anthropological foundation. So, although we bring in perspectives from geography from sociology, and so forth in our critique of climate and social justice, racism, etc. It's very much firmly grounded within anthropology. If you have any other questions, I'm, you know, happy to answer them here or do feel free to email me at any time. We've just had one more question come in that says, would it be possible for Charlotte to introduce a bit more about migration and diaspora studies program. Oh, I'm just checking. I'm already muted, which I am. And thank you very much for that question. And yes, absolutely. And it's a sorry, I was just checking in the chat. And I can explain a little bit more about the program. So, as Jacob already suggested, the MA migration and diaspora studies program is interdisciplinary. And there are many of our students and currently are taking core anthropology models as well. But also at the same time, our four modules are very much focused on migration and diaspora studies. So we have in the first term, we think we have the module that is African and Asian diasporas in the contemporary world, migration space identities. So in this module, we're very much concerned with thinking about mobility regimes, sovereignities, border regimes, and we do that through a decolonial lens, and thinking, bringing together sort of anthropological research, but also critical race theory, gender and migration, and so on. So we're very much approaching through ethnographic case studies, border regimes and the governance of migration. And the second term is which to thinking about diaspora. So we think about. We think about diaspora as sort of through its political work through its creative work as a mode of resistance. And we think across a number of different contexts we think about querying diasporas as well. So I'm just going to have some water. So we shift our focus then from thinking about the governance of migration to thinking about diaspora as a site of resistance as well within the within the second term. And then as Jacob also suggested, we have the really exciting workplace module, which provides students with the opportunity to take all of the theory work that you're doing within the space of the classroom spaces of the course, and apply it to practical work placements within the field of migration, migration research. So this year, some of our options include the Migration Museum London, the UN, the Bale for Immigration Detainees. We have counterpoints art as well and independent filmmakers, as students have the opportunity to work within these placements in order to to gain really invaluable experience within the field that then also you can feed back into your work on the course more broadly. And so that's, so that's the migration diaspora studies program across those sort of three core modules and then of course the opportunity to write the dissertation in relation to migration and diaspora studies as well. Again, really happy to to receive any questions about that by email to have individual conversations with your. Oh, I should also mention as well that we have the Center for Migration and diaspora studies seminar series also, in which we have many speakers who are also writing those speakers who are writing some of the essential texts or sorry I've written some of the essential texts across our courses. So again a great opportunity to hear from them throughout turn one and turn two. And so yeah so that's our MA migration and diaspora studies. It's more introduction. Thank you. Lovely. There's a couple more questions about migration diaspora studies I've just come off the back of that. I'm just in the chat box the first one says, can I ask if the career course from theory to practices and back work placements in migration research open to other department students as it was shown as offered to migration and diaspora studies. Yes, thank you good question so at the moment, and as it will continue to be the from theory to practice and back work placement module is is offered exclusively to MA migration and diaspora studies students. Whereas, similarly to what Jacob said about the anthropology of food, our core modules, African and Asian diasporas in the contemporary world, and across her one and turn two are open in that you can you can decide to take one or the other from outside of the program. But in order to take both and also the theory to practice and back module, you have to be on the MA migration diaspora studies program. And there's one more that says also about the migration and diaspora studies program. Am I correct in understanding that for the optional modules I could pick one from another course such as a module on post colonialism on the open options list. Yes, absolutely so the way that the course is structured you have the option to take various optional modules from within the Department of Anthropology. And there are also opportunities to take modules from outside of the department. And also, I'm thinking of current students who are taking modules across and various departments and including and post learning studies. Lovely. Another one says, as an MA social anthropology student, can we take courses in migration and diaspora studies can we fluidly take courses between different tracks. And yes, so we have so we have them are two core modules that are open to all of the MA students as I said you can take one of those and of those two core modules so we have in the first time the migration space identities models, which focuses very much on on the governance of migration on mobility regimes and borders and power and topics like necropolitics and the coloniality of power in relation to migration and so on. And then, and then we have our core module in the second term, the cultures of resistance and the dissolution of boundaries which thinks more about the creative and the political work of diaspora. And, and that is also open, but the key thing being that you can, from outside of the program we can pick one or the other, but but not both as both is only open to migration diaspora studies students. I hope that answers the question. Someone has asked, I'm interested to know if there's any opportunities to focus on even more specialized areas as opposed to broadly Asian, African or Middle Eastern. So for example, Central Asia or the Fagardo Valley, for example. So yes, so within across the two modules within migration, the migration diaspora studies program, we think every week through a very broad range of ethnographic case studies. So we very much take a global approach in thinking from sort of particular context about how we might how migration diaspora studies has been approached and how we might approach it differently as well. And so there is definitely a lot of scope to bring in your own research interest there and many, while all of our students have various specific interests and a focus on a specific context and they bring that into our discussion spaces within the tutorial. So I think the course provides, I think that what the modules what they provide, and most of all the sort of conceptual frames for approaching your own, your own, you know, particular areas, areas of interest when it comes to your research and, and I think the tutorials for that reason are always a really dynamic space with the students bring those bring those insights from their own context into into those tutorial discussions and then of course you have your, your opportunity to write and the dissertation, which will allow you to explore those in more detail as well. And I should just add that what Charlotte has just said of migration diaspora studies holds equally true of all the programs. So I don't need to add to what she said it's, I mean, I guess the one thing that I could add is that of course, you'll find that a lot of people in the department are specialists in, you know, particular regions within these regions as well that may or may not, you know, correspond one to one with your particular regional interests, but in some cases, they do. Lovely. This is for any of our academics as a graduate of anthropology and sociology, what other career avenues would be available to someone with this MA degree. Does anybody want to take that or July have a first stab at that. You have a first stab at that. anthropology before. So what I would say is that I mean I've already, in addition to what I've already listed in the, in the slides previously, and have mentioned there I mean those are representative examples. And I've also said that you should have a look at the testimonials from our students on the service website, which will probably give you a better sense than, you know, me simply rambling at length about all the different kinds of jobs that people have gone to do, whether it's in museums or business or in the food industries or whatever. What I would say, however, is that, which I kind of glossed over a little bit, but in a mentioned in passing is that actually to some degree. Those kinds of career opportunities are very quite specific to the particular program that you're taking as well. And or something which is something which is cultivated through the relationships and context you build up with fellow students and with staff attached to those programs to some extent. So, for example, in the anthropology of food program, you'll find that in addition to the kind of internship based module that we have actually a lot of the things that we do revolve around the food study center and invited speakers and so on.  And that actually has already led to the person who ran the establishment that hosted our event, asking if we have any people who would be interested in taking up internships with them or and or short term positions in the organization. I think that kind of thing that happens very much. I think that's true probably for our other programs as well that it's very much within that kind of, you know, the context that are developed amongst fellow students and with staff and other kinds of organizations when you you know in the program itself, a lot of our food students have gone up and set up their own startups after the program for example they've met here, and they've gone and done that so again, I think you should really speak to the, the, especially try to you know try to find a time to speak to the convener of the program that you're interested in, and maybe pick their grades little about a little bit about that you can get more more detail I said I wouldn't start rambling but I kind of have done that. But just to kind of, that's an exemplary form of rambling right I mean that's an example of the kind of roundlings you might get from other conveners as well, who might be able to give you more information with you know with respect to that particular program. Yeah, and just to add there, and it's also definitely the case that the the work placement module within the MA migration diaspora studies program has has led to a number of long term jobs and careers for our students. Amazing. So another question has come in sort of split into three questions. Is it possible to change from an MA program to the MRes. How many programs can you apply for sort of each academic year and if there are any sort of special requirements for the application of an intensive language program if you combine it with an anthropology and sociology program. Shall I answer that. I suppose I could. Okay, so it is sometimes possible to change your MA program. When you get here, I would say during the course of the year. Really, actually, but if if when you if you've been given an offer of your main offer to one of our programs and you decide when you get here that actually much rather do another program instead within the department. That is sometimes possible to do, you can speak to the conveners about that and you can apply to do that, but it's not normally done and it's not something I would recommend but sometimes there is a degree of flexibility about that but it's something I would. You know if you want to do it do it early on first couple of weeks really after you get here. How many programs can you apply for when you put in an application for so as you can't have several applications in at one at the same time. What you can do is you have a first and second choice on your on your application so if it. If there's a program that you really really want to do, but you think you may not be entirely qualified for that it might be to fulfill to get into, then you know put that as your first choice and then put you have a backup as a second choice, but you can't put in several applications at one at one time at any one moment. These are the special requirements for the application of intensive language. Most of the languages are available from the beginner's level, even on the intensive language pathways. But occasionally that has not been the case with all languages. So what I would do is if you know specifically which language you're interested in contact the convener of the on the languages side. You can find it very easily on the so as website, and ask them specifically, whether it's going to be offered from the beginner's level. In that, in that, in that following year, what happens with languages in general, because a lot of our students come into the study language either if it just as an optional module or if for an intensive language pathway. Our students come in with prior knowledge of the language, and you will be assessed in the first week. So typically already during registration and welcome week, you'll be assessed in the languages department, and they'll put you in a class that is suitable to your level. We've had another question come in from Elisa who asks other student associations to take part in the organization of conferences or suggesting guests within the center of migration and diaspora studies. Sorry, I just had to unmute myself there. And so, yes, I mean, within the program, the sort of MA migration bar, studies program is a kind of, is this a very small community in the sense that we, we all, you know, spend a lot of time together and there's definitely a lot of scope for students to have to have a say, as I suggested as well we also organize the seminar series around the essential texts of the course so there's that as well. But the series is organized a term in advance and there's always scope to suggest guests as well. I'd say that many of our students take a really active role in such things. And with regards to sort of events outside of that, I mean, Monday, for example, we're hosting a film screening. In addition to the seminar series. So, yeah, also the Center for Migration Diaspora Studies can can be a really useful forum or platform for organizing additional events as well. So, yeah. And using the resources as a source as well. And with Charlotte just said about the migration diaspora studies program holds true of the anthropology food program as well so there's a kind of a close relationship between the anthropology food program and the food city center and the weekly seminar that we run. And at least two of the speakers that we have in the food forum which is the Food Studies Center's research seminar, our speakers have been invited because our MA students asked me to invite them. Brilliant. The next question is for Catherine. Does the anthropology of global futures and sustainability have an approach of political ecology to it. What is the difference between that masters and the MSc environment politics and development program and the sort of second question would be, what advice would you give when they are applying to the program. Okay, thank you for that that question. Well, in terms of a political apology approach. It does feature in some of the topics that we engage in. As I mentioned earlier, the program is interdisciplinary but it is also comprised a very diverse range of sort of academic approaches to the topics of climate change and sustainability. And at the center of those approaches I really would say that we're concerned largely with issues of power. So how economic and political structures today construct nature and our planet in a particular way, i.e. We're concerned about the value to, to natural resources in a way that justifies their, their destruction. So that means that, you know, for example, we might use a political ecology approach when we're looking at indigenous economies and the appropriation and destruction of land and the Amazon. We tend to use an economic anthropology approach when looking at alternative economies such as D growth or circular economies, or different sort of food sustainability initiatives. So, I think the point here is that we draw on a range of different approaches conceptual lenses to look at the topics that we're covering. You raise the question about the program and development studies on the MSC environment politics and development. We frequently have been asked the question about what's the difference between what anthropology does and what development studies does when we're the focus is on development concerns. And it's largely one of, but I'd say actually there's two central points to this distinction. One is that anthropology, specifically this course as well as all of the MAs that we offer is fundamentally rooted in ethnographic material ethnography. So we're really concerned with understanding how people in various parts of the world from urban centers to rural areas are really understanding conceptualizing engaging with the issues of concern, whether that be urban displacement or water shortages or racism in the United States. And development studies may draw on a similar approach for example in political ecology, but the level of analysis is quite different they're not approaching the topic from the bottom up, if you will, but rather more the top down. There's also a greater focus on sort of policy analysis and policy prescriptions in development studies, whereas we're very much concerned with how ideas get produced how the way that we think about nature is derived from certain beliefs we have about nature. So when we think about people and neighborhoods and community is actually something that we produce, and that value is, is means different things to different people. So in thinking about the difference between development studies and anthropology I think it's important to just think about the, the lens that's applied to understanding social problems and our critical engagement with them with anthropology really being concerned with drawing on ethnographic material material that anthropologists have derived from long term engagement in the place in order to understand how we approach problems. The final question is, what would you advise us to have in mind when we apply to the program. Is that, I'm not sure I understand. Is that what you should include in an application to make your to make it stronger or how would you choose a program perhaps you could just clarify that for me I'd be happy to answer it. I believe it's in reference to their personal statement when they're applying. Oh, okay. Yes, I think in terms of the application itself, I mean, it's always wonderful if you've worked or you've taken, you know, classes that are related to the topic at hand. You know, one of the things that we look for is just your interest in the topics that we cover in the program how you see yourself in relation to those topics and what you would see as potential future career opportunities as a result of participating in the program so we're very broad minded with the global futures MA because it is an interdisciplinary and broad based MA and don't look for you know particular opportunities or particular experiences but more more interested in how people understand the issues of sustainability and climate change at this point in time and how you wish to engage with those issues through participating in the program. Amazing. Thank you. We are going to have to wrap up this session in just a couple of minutes so I will take the last question that's in the chat box. If you do have any sort of more specific question feel free, like our academics have said to email them. If you want to talk some further. If you have any admissions questions about your application in general, you can email study at so asked AC dot UK. I've just put that in the chat box, and they will get back to you. The final question I'm going to ask is, where's it gone. What are the potential work placement modules are the areas of focus, i.e. law health mental health food education up to us to choose. You want to take that again Catherine was in relation to the food one. Oh sure, sure. Sorry in the MA anthropology of food as Jacob mentioned we have a directed practical study in food where students engage in a work placement opportunity and so for the past couple of years, we've really been broadening out the number of places that students have been able to work for their placement, and this ranges from like edible landscape London to various food banks food provisions centers to pulsar an organization that works to gain knowledge of diaspora culinary histories and immigration histories. We have a student that's working this particular term with food organization in Cornwall that is distributing food locally. We have a range of different, we've had a range of different internship opportunities in policy with various government departments with magic breakfast that provides meals to children in schools. So, I would say that the work placement opportunities straddle various areas in the public sector, the private sector, and the NGO sector and cover things everything from sustainability to working is in as a PR person in a restaurant advertisements for food to working on farms or an ethical sourcing so it's just incredibly diverse and I would have to say that it's one of them, the most valuable and I think personally exciting opportunities we have in our department because the students have an opportunity to bridge policy or bridge real life experience with their anthropological theory and the anthropology of food which they love. And also many of these opportunities have led to employment, further employment for the students that are doing the work placements, because they just have enjoyed the opportunity so much that they've stayed on. If you'd like to hear more about that please do email me and I can provide you an actual list of the specific positions people have held at various places, which would give you probably a more comprehensive sense of what's it what has been entailed. And I'm sure that to add a couple of things from the work placement and migration studies. Yes, absolutely. So, again, I'm happy to receive any emails and if you would like a list of all of the different opportunities that are currently available for this year but again we have a really wide range of work placement opportunities, such as working with independent filmmakers within the arts and towns of points arts, various exhibition spaces, also the migration museum, the working with the UN special rapporteur we have working against in action groups, for example, and challenging the reports of public funds. Immigration detainees working doing case work across various migrant support centers in London so there are loads that are very wide range of opportunities to be involved in for both building sort of expertise that you've already been building or for trying out something completely different as well and gaining new skills through the module. So again, I completely agree with Catherine that I'd say it's just so valuable and also such an exciting opportunity. Amazing. I just want to say thank you so much to Jacob, Charlotte and Catherine for today's session. Like I said previously, if you do want to contact them their details are on this slide here. And if you have any admissions questions or general questions before applying to SAAS then feel free to email study at saas.ac.uk and someone will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you all for joining and I hope you will have a lovely rest of your day. Thank you. Thank you everybody. Thank you very much.


Hello, in this video we will be reviewing the pdf to json activity. So I have already added the pdf to json activity into pdf.go scope. Here we can see like mainly it is containing the pdf file as an input parameter. We can provide either the url or the absolute file path in the inputs. And there are other inputs for example if we want to restrict the extraction of the data as json for certain region only then we can provide the coordinates of the region in here. If we want to restrict the extraction to certain pages only then we can provide the page numbers in the comma-separate format in here. If our input pdf is password protected then we can provide the pdf document password here. And here are some other outputs for example this output text contains the json text format for the extraction result and result file url contains the url of the generated extracted json. Let us see this in xn. So here I have one sample file for invoice. You can see like it is containing some dummy items here. And let us try to extract this particular table in json format. So first of all we need to provide the input file. So I am copying and pasting the path here. And let me also provide the destination file path here. So let us assume like our destination will be in this output folder. So I am providing path to output file. And here we only want to extract this table not hold the document. So to get the coordinates I am using this program named pdf multitude. So pdf multitude is a freeware provided by the byte scout. If you want this program you can just google this out and install. It is very useful in this kind of thing. Let me select table here and double click to this coordinates. So it is copied to the clipboard and now let me provide extension region here. And for the output text here I am creating the variable that we named extracted json. And here we are providing one here. Let me add the path variable name here like extracted json and let me save here and let me run. So upon the successful execution we will see a message box containing the json output and as well as the result file should be generated. So here we can see message box containing all the json. So it is also providing the other aspects of the element for example font name font size coordinates along with the text so it is very useful. And let us check this json also so let me open with the sublime text and we can see all the data are here. So this is how we can use the pdf to json UI path activity to extract json from pdf documents. Thank you.


Hey everybody, welcome back to my Star Wars channel. My name is David and today we're going to look at the new Star Wars Unlimited Starter Set. We'd be honored if you would join us. Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. Thank you guys so much for being here. Welcome to my Star Wars channel. My, my Star Wars channel, right? This is the place where I show you my Star Wars fandom. So it could be anything. This channel doesn't land down on one specific area of my fandom. So I will do videos about vintage toys or the new toys that are just coming out. I've done vintage book reviews. We've talked about the different games and trading cards. And so, you know, I think with most Star Wars fans, we kind of have our finger in a lot of different pots. I don't think any one Star Wars fan says, oh, I only like the movies, right? Only like Galaxy's Edge and nothing else. Like if you're a Star Wars fan like me, you pretty much like everything, right? And I collect everything and I use this channel. I use this space to show you my fandom. And so I'm super excited about Star Wars Unlimited. It's a brand new two player collectible card game from Fantasy Flight. Fantasy Flight has put out most of the recent Star Wars collectible card games. I've even done some reviews for several of them. There's several different gameplay videos or gameplay reviews here on the channel as well. And I thought, you know what? I've got some other games that I haven't pulled out in a while. I could pull those out. Let's do some classic games. I'll show you some vintage cards as well, I think, going forward. So I think that'll be a lot of fun. But Fantasy Flight! Fantasy Flight! Man, we've been waiting for this, I think. I think at first when I heard about this, I was kind of excited, but also a little trepidatious because the way Star Wars games usually go is there's all this hype, there's all this build up, and we start to build community around it, and then the game just kind of falls apart and nothing happens. And you've seen that with other collectible card games, not just Star Wars, but it's hard to get into that realm to compete against Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! Like those are your top three and to kind of break that wall and get into that upper echelon, that's difficult to do. And I know Lorcanna has been trying recently, but the issue that I've seen with Lorcanna is you have a huge fan base of just Disney fans who are buying all the cards and not allowing people who actually want to play the game play the game. So I kind of had a wall go up in front of me when I was getting into Lorcanna. And so I think now I think I'm just going to pass. I'm going to pass on Lorcanna completely and put, I'm going all in. I'm going all in on Star Wars Unlimited. The last video I showed you the starter deck for Darth Vader. And so this time around we will show you the starter deck for Luke Skywalker. Let's go. And of course let's look at the box first. Last time we took a look at the Darth Vader deck. Today we'll be looking at the Luke Skywalker deck. Just figured it was easier to do one deck at a time. And when you get this initially it shows you the playlist, right? The card list of every single card inside each deck. That way if you end up getting subsequent booster packs and you mix cards in and out, if you ever want to go back to your original starter and see exactly what it looks like, you can refer back to the box. But this is a two player game. Age is 12 and up from Fantasy Flight Games. Let's open it up. Of course one reason to get this starter pack is to get the extra items that are included. Because this game is so popular and you know everybody loves Star Wars, they've purchased a lot of the extra large play mats that were available. A lot of the plastic transparent tokens they're all sold out everywhere.  Since we're looking at Luke today, you're going to notice that it has a picture of Luke on the back. And then the other side has spaces for all your units, your base, your leader, your command units, resources, and then there's helpful notes and reference guides. So if you're just starting out, those references are there to help you as you learn the game. And along with that, you'll get the cardboard punch out tokens that you can use. And they are double-sided, double printed. And yes, they're not as exciting as you know, the transparent tokens that Game Genic has put out. But you know, right now they're sold out and they're very hard to find. And so these are, I think, your next best. And you will also get a Star Wars Unlimited Spark of Rebellion play guide.  Their instructions are very clear. I know there's lots of YouTube channels out there that tell you how to play. But depending on how fast a reader you are and how well-versed you are at collectible card games, you might just want to start with the rulebook. It might get you going a lot faster. Another nice thing about getting the Starter Pack is you're going to get a box for your deck. Now, yes, there are custom boxes out there that have a little bit more features. They look nicer. But you know, when you're just starting out and you want to jump in and feel like you've got the game, it's nice that you've got one of these that are available. And so we're looking at Luke today. So this is Luke's box. All you have to do is squeeze there. The bottom will click right in place.  And if you are wondering, yes, the boxes are big enough to support the cards with sleeves. And you can purchase special Star Wars Unlimited sleeves as well to go along with your cards. I love the look and smell of brand new cards, don't you? Especially when it's a brand new game. I have been waiting for Star Wars Unlimited for such a long time. I've always been a big fan of Fantasy Flight. I've played all the Fantasy Flight games, own them all, still own several, including the original Decipher game. I have the original Decipher Star Wars collectible card game. Of course, it's in my heart forever because it's such a classic. But these cards have a nice smooth feel. They glide from hand to hand very well. Here's your commander, Luke Skywalker, faithful friend. And so when you're building your own deck, if you're not getting a starter deck, you will need a commander in your deck. And he deploys like this, very similar to commander in Magic the Gathering. But then when you deploy him to the battlefield, you're going to flip him this way. He has a deploy cost of six, a strength of four, and health of seven. Also in deck building, you will always need a base. And so the base that comes with this is Administrator's Tower. And you will need this and a commander when building your deck. The other thing to note about deck building is you have a few symbols here in the corner. And so just like Magic the Gathering or Pokemon, this denotes how you would build your deck. Having support cards that also have these symbols are going to work the best with this set. Of course, you can include cards that don't have these symbols, but you will have to pay extra deploy costs, extra resources to deploy them to the field. All right, let's look at the cards. First, you're going to get three experience cards. It's a plus one, plus one with a deploy cost of zero. You will also get the two 1B surgical droid, a strength of one, health of one, and a deploy cost of one. Everybody's favorite little buddy, R2D2. He has a strength of one, a health of four, and a deploy cost of one. You'll also need a fleet of X-Wings, strength of two, health of three, deploy cost of two. And everyone's favorite protocol droid, C3PO, a strength of one, health of four, and a deploy cost of two. Rebel Pathfinder, this is a Rebel Trooper, strength of two, health of three, and a deploy cost of two. Here's a restored Arc 170, it's a Rebel Fighter, with a strength of two, defense of three, and a deploy cost of two. Three copies of Layer Organa, with a strength of two, health of two, and deploy cost of two. Rogue Operative, another Rebel Trooper, strength of two, health of four, and deploy cost of three. Three copies of Fleet Lieutenant, with a strength of three, health of three, and a deploy cost of three. Wing Leader, with a strength of two, defense of one, and a deploy cost of three. Yoda, your force Jedi, strength of two, health of four, and deploy cost of three. Cloud City Wingard, with a strength of two, health of four, and a deploy cost of three. system patrol craft, a strength of three, health of four, and a deploy cost of four. Three copies of a security force, with a strength of three, health of seven, and a deploy cost of four. The liberator gunship, strength of three, health of four, and a deploy cost of four. General Dandana, strength of four, health of four, and deploy cost of four. Snowspeeder, strength of three, defense of six, and a deploy cost of five. Here's a copy of Chewbacca, strength of three, health of six and a deploy cost of five. Honor guards, strength of four, defense of six and a deploy cost of five. Obi-Wan Kenobi, strength of four, defense of six and deploy cost of six. Han Solo, strength of five, defense of six and deploy cost of seven. Resilient with a plus zero for strength but a plus three for health and a deploy cost of one. Three copies of Luke's lightsaber gives you a plus three plus one with a deploy cost of two. Two copies of repair, which is a supply, which is a deploy cost of one. Shoot first, this is a trick with a deploy cost of one. Two copies of asteroid sanctuary, also a trick with a deploy cost of two. Two copies of surprise attack, deploy cost of two. Two copies of Wele with a deploy cost of three. Three copies of vanquish, which is a tactic with a deploy cost of five. And that's everything. That is everything in the Luke Skywalker starter deck. So if you're looking forward to seeing some boosters, I'll be doing some booster unboxings pretty soon. So look forward to that. All right, so that's the Luke Skywalker deck and I think my next purchases that I'm starting looking for, I want to look for the extra large game mat that's pretty much sold out everywhere. I drove all around my hometown going from a comic book store to game store looking for it and they're sold out everywhere. The acrylic game tokens from Game Genic sold out everywhere. So it's nice that this starter set at least comes with paper ones just to get you off the ground, right? And I would say if you're looking for those things, don't panic, I'm sure Game Genic is gonna put out more. Don't go out and buy the imitations and the knockoffs. I think you just have a little patience, wait for the Game Genic ones to come back out. I think we'll all be pleased and we'll all, there'll be some for everybody. I think people understand that there's a lot of Star Wars fans out there and we tend to like products and merchandise when it comes out. And so, you slap Star Wars on something, it could be a spatula, right? And we're gonna buy it. So I'm sure Game Genic has more coming up in the works and I'm gonna make more videos. I will make more content videos. I got some booster packs. We're gonna do some unboxings and look at some various cards. We'll talk about strategy. We'll talk about deck building. We'll do all that. We'll do all that, all right? So thanks for watching. Thanks for hanging out with me. May the Force be with you. I'll see you next time, bye.


Let's take a look at our units for the magnetic force on a current carrying wire. Here's the equation that we came up with on our last video tutorial. And it tells us that the force is equal to the current times the length of the wire times the magnetic field strength times the sign of the angle in between the wire and the magnetic field. So if we take a look at the units on those, force is going to have a units of newtons. Current is going to have a unit of amps, length is going to have a unit of meters, while the magnetic field has a unit of Tesla. We don't have to worry about the sign here because sign, once we do the sign of the angle, that has no units. So if we put this all together, what we end up with is units of newtons equals an amp times a meter times a Tesla. Now if we wanted to use this equation to help us find an alternate unit for Tesla, we take this amp meter and divide it under from our newtons. And what we end up with is that one Tesla is equivalent to a unit of one newton per amp meter.


The Kraft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the Great Gilded Sleeve. The Great Gilded Sleeve is brought to you partially transcribed by the Kraft Foods Company. It looks wonderful, it tastes wonderful, but the big news about Kraft's new parquet margarine is the way it spreads. Even when ice cold, new parquet spreads smoothly. It won't tear a fresh slice of bread, it won't crumple thin crackers. New parquet is ready to spread smoothly the instant it leaves your refrigerator. Get Kraft's new parquet tomorrow in the new blue package. You'll love the way it tastes, you'll love the way it spreads. Well, ever since school started, the Great Gilded Sleeve's nephew, Leroy, has been having a little trouble with his studies. Of course he wouldn't be human if he didn't blame part of it on his new teacher. What does she think I am, Birdie? A quiz kid or something? That Ms. Tuttle knows what she's doing, Leroy. Yeah? Look, I gotta read this whole chapter of history tonight. What's she trying to do? Make a bookworm out of me? She can't make no bookworm out of you, you'd wiggle out of it. Well, I guess I gotta get started. Birdie, what do you know about the Lewis and Clark expedition? Leroy, that's a trip I didn't take. What about the War of 1812? Well, Birdie knows it was fought in 1812. I can't get much out of Birdie. I guess I'll have to read this stuff. Gosh, look at all the pages. Not even any pictures, except some old maps. Oh, here goes nothing. When Thomas Jefferson learned that Napoleon Bonaparte would sell the area called Louisiana... Hello, Leroy. Hi, honk. What are you reading? The comics. You kidding? Oh, history? Yeah. History was always my favorite subject. Good. You can help me if you know history. Did I say history? I meant English. After dinner? Let's see now, there was something I had to do after dinner. Okay, don't help me. Let a little kid fight it out with that new teacher all by himself. What's this, my boy? I'm having a horrible time. I think my teacher picks on me, honk. No, Leroy, I can't believe it's all your teacher's fault. Surely you don't think it's mine? Well, if you and your teacher are having a little misunderstanding, why don't you stay after school and talk things out?  Yes, and it wouldn't hurt you to do something nice for your teacher. Like what, quit school? Of course not. But you might offer to wash the blackboard, empty the waste paper basket, pound the chalk out of the erasers. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with it? The kids wouldn't even speak to me. I'm not going to polish the apple. I'm not asking you to polish the apple. Just wash the blackboard and clean the eraser. No, uh-uh. Took me years to get my good reputation with a gang, and I'm not going to spoil it. Leroy, I'm not going to let you flunk history. If I have to go talk to your teacher myself. That's all I need. What? An alcohol who's an apple polisher. Miss Marjorie, good morning. Muffie? No, ma'am, Mr. Gillesley's having his second cup in the dining room. Hi, but you're all dressed up this morning, big meeting at the city hall? No, I'm going to pay a visit to the school today. Oh? Leroy's having a little trouble with Miss Tuttle. Miss Tuttle? New teacher. And I always say it doesn't hurt to get on the good side of your teacher. If Leroy won't make the gesture, I will. Now, Anki, let's not go upsetting the whole public school system. What? More hot coffee, anybody? Oh, no, thanks, Bernie. Does Leroy want somebody to go to his history teacher? No, ma'am. Bernie, I think Marjorie asked me. Oh, I thought she's asking me. Sorry. That's all right, Bernie. You gave the right answer. Yes, yes. Well, when anybody asks me, I give them a straight honest answer, and I thought she was asking me. Yeah, all right. And the straight honest answer is Leroy don't want nobody going to his teacher about nothing. Of course, nobody asked me. But if they did ask me, that's what I'd give them. Straight honest answer, that Leroy don't want nobody going to his teacher about nothing. Of course, nobody asked me. I'm sorry I brought it up. Eggman. And Miss Cooley at the back door. He'll come in, he always does. Eggman. Doors mean nothing to that man. Really, Anki, I don't think you should go to Leroy's teacher if he doesn't want you to. All right, all right. Eggman. Right into the dining room. Excuse me, I'm leaving the eggs in the refrigerator. Hello, Birdie. Thank you, Miss Cooley. I'll find them. I don't like to leave eggs without telling somebody I've left them. Hello, Mrs. Thompson. Hello, Mr. Cooley. Last week, I went to a customer's and had to go clear to the attic before I found someone. I bet they were hiding. But I found them. Hello, Mr. Gilderslee. Hello. Haven't you gone to the office yet? Well, I'm in no hurry this morning. I had intended going by the school to see Leroy's teacher. Miss Tuttle? You sure can't pick them. Why, Mr. Cooley? I didn't mean to be disrespectful, but take it from your Eggman. Miss Tuttle is some chick. Well, I got the impression from Leroy that Miss Tuttle was, well, not too attractive. Leroy's just a boy. In fact, if he thinks that, he's still a babe in the woods. She wears rouge and lipstick. To class? Unki, they all do. Please, Marjorie, I'm listening to Mr. Cooley. She also wears high heels. Very modern. Well, I don't see why Leroy can't get along with a teacher like Miss Tuttle. Now, Unki. Marjorie, I consider it my obligation as his uncle to go talk to her about his grades. If you'll wait until I deliver my eggs, I'll go with you. Cooley, this is my problem. Well, here's the room. And that must be Miss Tuttle at the desk. She's even prettier than Cooley described her. But I'm here to help Leroy. Pardon me. Yes? You are Miss Tuttle, I presume. Yes. Won't you come in? Thank you. I hope I'm not intruding. No, I was just grading some papers. Well, I dropped by to talk to you about one of your pupils. I'm Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve. Gildersleeve? I don't recall a student by that name. Well, his name is Leroy Forrester. I'm his uncle. Oh, yes, Leroy. Dear Leroy. By the way, which is his desk? The desk in the next row with his name on it. Well, do they put their names on the desks now? This is Carve. Oh, well, Leroy always was good at woodwork. Better than history, I guess. Miss Tuttle, I wouldn't suggest this if it wasn't lunchtime. But would you care to skip out for a bite so you and I can talk over Leroy's history problems? Well, thank you, Mr. Gildersleeve. I brought my lunch. Well, is it anything it'll keep until tomorrow? Or perhaps you'd like to come to the house for dinner this evening? Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gildersleeve, I can't this evening. Well, when you get around to grading Leroy's history paper, I guess you'll remember you were asked. You can't be serious, Mr. Gildersleeve. I'm serious with Leroy. He's been getting some low grades, Miss Tuttle. Well, I know, but I try to be fair. Now, if you don't mind, I have important things to do. Well, I have important things to do, too. Perhaps you don't realize I'm the city water commissioner. Oh. You thought I'd mention it. Not that it should necessarily influence you in grading Leroy's papers. If you want to criticize the school grading system, why don't you come to the parent-teacher's meeting tomorrow evening? I'm not criticizing the school grading system, Miss Tuttle. My complaint is about you. Well, that's one reason we have parent-teacher meetings so you can air your grievances. May we expect you? Me? Well? I'm sure everybody will be anxious to hear your views. I'm afraid I can't make it to my own night. Where's my hat? What a busy day. 3.30 and I haven't eaten. Well, I shouldn't have wasted my lunch hour talking to Leroy's teacher. Maybe Peavey has some lunch sandwiches left. Hello, Peavey. Yeah, hello, Mr. Gildersleeve. What can I do for you this afternoon? Peavey, what's on the menu? Yeah, let's take a look. Roast beef sandwich, Swiss cheese on rye, tuna salad. I'll take the cheese sandwich. No, you won't. What? We're fresh out of cheese. Well, give me the roast beef sandwich. Don't have that either. Well, tuna salad. It's too late for tuna, tuna. Peavey, if you don't have any of these things, why did you mention them? You didn't ask me if I had them. You asked what was on the menu. Oh, my goodness. I haven't had a bite of lunch yet.  Well, I wouldn't have if I hadn't spent so much time with Miss Tuttle. Oh, been dating one of the school teachers, have you? Peavey, would I be dating a school teacher during the school hours? Well, there's always recess, you know. Yes, yes. Peavey, I went to talk to her about Leroy's low marks in history. And she practically accused me of trying to upset the whole school grading system. And you weren't trying, I take it. Of course not. I was just interested in Leroy's grade. Yeah, I mean, well, so I made a mistake. But Peavey, do you know what that teacher wanted to do? Chase you off the school ground? She tried to talk me into going to the parent teachers meeting tomorrow night and making a fool of myself. My, my. She's not going to get me to any meeting. Well, it's Leroy. Hi, Mr. Peavey. Hello, Leroy. Hey, Uncle, I've been looking for you. Guess what happened at school? Uh-oh. No, it's good news. I want you to go to the parent teachers meeting with me tomorrow night. Leroy, I was just telling Peavey, I don't think I'd better go. I don't think you'd better go either. Yeah? Gosh, it's going to be a big deal. It's American Education Week. It is? And after the meeting, the school's going to have open house. That'd be nice. That's when all the parents get a chance to see what the kids have been doing. We're going to exhibit our work. Not your history papers, I hope. No. Heck, I'm an artist. You don't change. Yeah. They're putting one of my pictures on the wall. They are, Leroy. I'm getting to be a regular Rembrandt. Yeah, my boy, I've seen some of your drawings. But this is my masterpiece. They tell me. I like to see that. So would I. Aunt gets a picture of your reservoir. It is? With you standing on the dam. Do you mean I'm in it? Sure, I did the picture for you. Well, Leroy. Here, I'll take my pencil and sketch it on the back of this menu. Okay, Mr. Peabee? You're okay by me. We're out of everything anyway. This will just give you an idea on... Well, here's the reservoir. And you? And the dam. Leroy, isn't the reservoir a little large? Well, that isn't the reservoir. That's you. Peabee. Make sure this leave will be back in just a moment. Today, a great new discovery by Kraft Foods is changing a family custom that's been going on for years. The discovery is Kraft's new Parquet Margarine. And if you serve new Parquet at your house, you won't have to leave it standing in a warm place overnight. So it'll spread easily on your breakfast toast or rolls. New Parquet spreads smoothly even when it's cold. Even when it's ice cold. That means you can whisk it from your refrigerator to the table just a minute before any meal is ready. Parquet slices instantly into neat pats, no crumbling or splintering. It spreads without an argument. Won't tear the freshest bread or crumple thin crackers. There's another wonderful thing about new Parquet. You can leave it standing out in a warm kitchen and it won't melt down. It holds its shape instead of running all over the plate. There's never been a table spread like it before.

Well, nobody can deny that the great gilder sleeve always means well, but when he went to the teacher about Leroy's grades, he got himself in a jam. You say your uncle is definitely not going to the meeting? No, but that's okay if he's busy or something. It doesn't mean a thing to me, not a thing. Well, if we've got a budding Rembrandt, somebody should be there to see his painting. Oh, that. I may even burn the painting. Well, before you do that, I certainly would like to see it. You would? I'd give it pretty penny to be at that parent teacher's meeting tonight. Of course, I don't know who I'd go with. Hey, I've got an idea. You have? Would you like to go with me? I'm going to be by myself, you know. Well, Leroy, I'd be honored. Oh, boy, here's swell, Mr. Phoebe. No, I'm not. I'm just a patron of the arts. Hey, why don't we have a soda on the house and plan our evening? Keen. Chocolate, pal. That's for me, too, pal. Two chocolates coming up. Hey, here's Judge Hooker. Hi, Judge. Hello, Leroy. Greetings, Phoebe. Oh, Judge. Having sodas, are you? Yeah, on the house. Yeah, we're celebrating, Judge. Well, if they're on the house, make it three. Let's all us kids celebrate. Okay, Mr. Phoebe. Well, the judge is a pretty old kid. But now, Phoebe, what's the occasion, Leroy? Mr. Phoebe's taking me to the parent teacher's meeting tonight. It's open house. It is? Where's your uncle? He's busy or something. Leroy and I are going to have quite a time. Here's your free soda, Judge. Leroy. Thanks, Mr. Phoebe. Best look on soda I ever saw. Phoebe, I hardly think that you're the one to accompany Leroy tonight. How's that? If I may say so, I'm much closer to the family than you. After all, I'm the boy's godfather. Yeah, I'm his pharmacist. If Gildy can't accompany Leroy tonight, I should. It was I who helped nurse the lad through his little childhood ailments. Didn't I, Leroy? Yeah, but... Well, I brought him his pills. Didn't I, Leroy? Yeah, but... But I recall sitting by his bedside when he had the mumps. You should have caught him. What'd you say, Phoebe? I said so far. I think... I think that I should be the one to take him. And I say I should take him. Hey, I'm pretty popular. Hello, Phoebe. Judge? Hello. Hello. Phoebe, no matter what you say, I'm going to do it. Well, no matter what you say, I'm going to do it. Old buddy, in ski. I'm going. Oh, Poo, I'm going. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute, fellows. I don't know where you're going, but why don't both of you go? Hey, that's an idea. Well, how about it, Phoebe? Teach me. Swallow. Yeah, you see? It takes me to iron things out. Where are you two going? Auctions. You can't go there. Taking me to the open house and school tonight. Yes, now everybody's happy. Everybody but me. No, it's a Mr. Gilseep. He's gone. Already? Well, too bad. I wanted to have a word with the boy. Yes. The judge and Mr. Phoebe picked him up and took him out to dinner. Oh, well... Ain't that nice of the judge and Mr. Phoebe? Well, I wanted to tell Leroy I had about decided to take him myself. Yes, sir. Mr. Gilseep, why didn't you take him?  I didn't think I should go to the meeting. Yes, sir. Well, when somebody muddles things up, it sure is nice when somebody else comes along and clears them. Yeah, you're right, Bertie. And the judge and Mr. Phoebe sure cleared things up for Leroy. All right, Bertie. I know I muddled them. Yes, sir. Oop. Sometimes I wish Bertie wouldn't always agree with me. George, the snow's getting deeper all the time. I always enjoy the first snowfall, but not tonight. What am I doing? Walking around the schoolhouse. I can't go in. I would like to sneak a look at Leroy's painting, though. Picture of me painted by the boy's own hand. Hey, room's right above me. I could crawl up this fire escape before the crowd gets here. You why don't I? Slippery. Oh, well. What if I break my neck? Nobody cares. Hey, I'm in luck. Window's unlocked. Hope nobody sees me. I can see the headlines. Water commissioner caught breaking into the schoolhouse. Well, I could just tell him I was going back to the eighth grade where I belong. It's nice and warm in here. Yeah, let's see. There's a lot of paintings and charts on the wall. Wonder which is Leroy's. Hey, somebody coming. Where'll I hide? Here's the door. Oh, for supply closet. Well, I'll have to squeeze in. What is all this stuff? Pencils, chalk, blackboard erasers. There they are. And here I am.  Where's your... Hope she doesn't need any supplies. Oh, hello, Leroy. How do you do, gentlemen? Welcome to the school. It's our pleasure, Miss Tuttle. Yes, you do. Where's your uncle, Leroy? I don't know. Here I was looking forward to seeing him at the meeting tonight. I'll bet she was. Leroy, why don't you show your guest to see? Sure. But what about your painting? Well, we have to wait until the meeting's over for that. Here, I'll sit between you. They're sitting right outside the door. I wish I could shift my position a little. At least I can turn my head. Oop! Stuck my nose in a chalky eraser. Looks like a big turnout tonight. Oh, darn dust. Everybody interested in the school, I'll be here. I'm gonna sneeze. Bless you, Peabee. I didn't sneeze. I was just about to bless you. Don't bless me. I didn't sneeze. If they don't open this door, I'll bless them both. Blast everybody's leaving. In a minute, I can get out of this closet. I've been standing here like a mummy in a case for two hours. All the time, Leroy seemed to be having a wonderful time. Didn't miss me at all. Yeah, don't hear anybody now. I'll open the door and sneak home. Hey, seems to be stuck a little. Must do a lot from the outside. I can't stay in here all night. Maybe I can arouse the janitor. Hey! Open up! Yeah, I hear footsteps. Boy, am I lucky. Here comes the janitor. Well, thank you, Mr. Whooo! Gildersleep, what are you doing in the closet? What am I doing? Well, I can't think of anything to say. How long have you been locked in that closet? Well, I came by early this evening to see Leroy's picture. When I started to leave, I guess I took the wrong door. I didn't see you come in the building. I came in through the window. That's right. Go ahead and laugh. You poor man. Why didn't you let us know you were in there so you could come out and enjoy the meeting? After our first meeting, I didn't think I'd enjoy this one. Why not? Well, when a man is made a fool of himself, he doesn't like to have it pointed out to other people. Mr. Gildersleep, I don't even remember our first meeting. You don't? All I remember is a very nice man who's so interested in his little boy's schoolwork that he climbed through a window and got locked in a closet. Well, I couldn't tell Leroy why I didn't bring him to the meeting tonight. I guess he doesn't care now if I ever see his painting. But could you point it out to me, Ms. Tuttle? Of course. Ms. Tuttle! Oop, Leroy's back better hiding the closet again. But Mr. Gildersleep, I want my uncle to see it.  I'll never miss another PTA meeting as long as I... The great Gildersleep will be with us again in just 30 seconds. The newest discovery in a table spread now comes in an ice blue package.

Remember, education holds our future and better schools build a stronger America. Of course, when you visit your school, don't lock yourself in the closet the way I did. Hey, Aunt, I'd like my picture. Oh, great, Leroy, splendid effort. I'm glad you brought it home to show it to me. That's okay. But, Aunt, I must be hearing things. Hearing things? Yeah, when I went back to get my picture from Miss Tuttle, I thought I heard somebody sneeze. Oh? Well, she said I was just hearing things. Hey, is that snow on your lapel? Snow? It looks like chalk dust. But, of course, it couldn't be. Well... Here, I'll brush it off. Please, Leroy, don't brush it toward me. Is it? Is it? Is it your brush? Yeah. Ah!

Welcome back to my channel guys, it's Shakira Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion, lifestyle and styling. So today I wanted to come to you ladies with some quick little tips on what you should be buying during this winter's sale. So I did a blog post about this, very very detailed, but we are, sorry my shirt keeps like moving and I don't want to flash you guys. But most of us do have emails coming from these brands that we absolutely love. But right now they are flooding our emails guys. So what happens with this is the sales shopping right, you guys know I talk about sales shopping. And I love sales, I do love a sale but I'm very smart when it comes to sales shopping. So things that you should be buying right now during these winter sales is the things that you're going to use for next fall and next winter, right? So let's jump into things like classic blazers. You guys know I'm going to talk about these essential items that we need in our wardrobe. For example, this jacket that I have on right now is my La Mark Leather jacket. They have a sale right now. I believe it's like maybe 20% off I believe. Nothing too much but you guys know their blazers are super expensive so that's good.  So if you do not have a black leather blazer, if you're not into leather, go for something like, like a tuxedo style blazer, right?  So like a tuxedo style, can you guys see? Like the lapels, satin, really nice jacket, super, super nice jacket. I got this from ALC.  You can go for something that is more tailored or oversized. Okay, now you guys know I'm a leather lover so I'm gonna have leather. So definitely have you a black leather blazer or a tuxedo blazer. If you don't even like tuxedo because you want something super classic and no type of detail, just get a plain black blazer. Those are fine as well but if you want to add a little bit of jazz to it, definitely get that. You want to get your moto jackets, right? This is a good time to get moto jackets. Fall is not quite here yet but if they have a sale right now on things, you're probably going to be able to get a nice moto jacket, right? Because they're going to be going out. Some people wear them in the fall, some people don't. So try to check out moto jackets. Any outerwear, your trench coats, your wool coats, those are going to be worn for next winter. Y'all know how I feel about my Frankie shop jacket, hold on. Let me grab this one here. You guys know how I feel about this Frankie shop one. Let me come back some just so you guys can see it. This jacket, this light above me is annoying me. So make sure you have your trench coats, your wool coats, your, what else? Your impossibly, if you are into like parkers and stuff like that, you can get those now as well. So that's it for outerwear. Let me want to go to the tops. For your tops, this is a good time to get your sweaters, guys. Any knitwear, any cardigans, any thick turtlenecks, perfect time to get them. And everything that I'm saying, I'm not saying to get trendy items. I'm saying to get, is my, is it focus sale? I'm not saying to get trendy items. I'm saying to get classic pieces. Why? Because you're going to be able to wear them over and over and over and over again, right? So buying something trendy now, it's not going to be on trend next year. So that's for your tops. Get those knitwear items, guys. Classic pieces that we are going to wear over and over. So now let's get into the bottoms. When it comes to bottoms, you want to get like nice leather skirts, right? Leather skirts, denim skirts, leather skirts, denim skirts. What other kind of skirts? Satin skirts, because you can wear those in the winter and in the fall and in spring and summer. You can get your slip dresses now. Everything is on sale, but do not go and just buy everything, guys. Don't do it. And then you want to get denim jeans, some trousers. Trousers are great to have. Now, you may look up and be able to get some that is more for winter, like wool ones. Get those if you can, if they're really good quality. And then something maybe still dark, possibly, that you can wear in the fall and in the spring. You can look up right now, especially with your trousers. And let's see what else. And as far as other bottoms, you want to get leather leggings or pants. Because we can't wear those, you can wear them in the fall. So they may still be a little bit pricey, but I can almost guarantee that you will find something that is still of a good price and on sale. So get those leather pants. If you like leggings, go for leather leggings. And shoes, guys. Alright, so we like to wear boots in the winter and in fall. So a lot of designers are having boot sales right now. And I would say, jump on it now. Don't do what I do. Don't sit on the item. And then before you know it, it's out of stock in your size. Jump on it right now. But don't go and just buy all the boots. Because remember, a lot of the boots are very trendy, so they're not going to be in style next winter. Right? So let's get classic color booties, knee boots, thigh boots, classic colors. That way you don't have to buy them again. You guys know I'm big on that. I have a ton of shoes back here. But most of my shoes, they're not really like crazy in color.  Like a lot of years ago because I realized that I was just buying stuff like... And I didn't have the space for it. Realistically, I'm just like, I don't have the space for it. Especially living in New York City. Like I just had a ton of shoes, but that's also to work in an office. I had to get on the trains. So you know, we have to look fly going to work, right? But definitely get your booties, your pumps.  Loafers, you guys know you can win loafers in the spring and fall in winter, guys. So depending on where you live, girls are doing it so many different ways. So you want to buy things that's actually going to help your wardrobe come next fall and winter. Okay guys, even this fall, right? So that's pretty much it on things that you should be getting as far as like your attire. Accessories, it's a little different because some brands do have sales, but it's really really not that serious, right? Maybe if you wanted like some classic bracelets or like even a watch or something like that. Definitely go for that. If you're looking for something more clean cut and jewelry, you want to get like some studs, some diamond studs, gold studs. You can find sales right now.  I still need to clean some more. But we buy things that we absolutely do not need. And this is what women do, right? We say we're going to wear it and we never wear it. So let's just try to get away from just buying things because everybody else is doing it. But I just wanted to give you guys a quick little video on some tips on things you should be buying right now when it comes to shopping these sales. Now, after you've purchased all of your essential items, great quality, also too, because you already have your essentials in your closet, you may want to replace them because you've had them for a long time. That's totally fine. So like that leather blazer, I have another one, but I needed one that I didn't cut the sleeves on. Actually, the one that I have on. I got one that I didn't cut the sleeves on, right? The other one I got it tapered, cut into three-quarter sleeves for my style. Let me show you guys. Remember, I got the sleeves cut on here. So I have a crop sleeve one and then I have the one that I have on. So this is a good idea to play around with the things that you need in your wardrobe and that works for you.
