Welcome to Psychic Medium, Tony Green. Excuse me, I am Tony Green, the Psychic Medium here to do the show for you today. Just a few little bitty things here. Blog talk is down again. So I'll be answering questions on in the YouTube chat. So if you're listening and do you typically call in, you might want to go to YouTube. That's going to be the best way to get your question answered. And also, please don't get scammed. I'm not even streaming to Facebook today because there are so many. They be trolling. They're so many scammers that pop up when I go live and use Facebook. So I'm not even doing that because then my whole week is just deleting and blocking those people. And I just, you know, actually kind of a busy people. I'm kind of a busy people.  I'm just going to go for it. I actually do quite a few things. I have the show that I do twice a week and I host and promote and upload it to the TV stations. It goes out to WSCS. WSCS snatches it for me. Thank you so much, Scott, and puts it on all of their stations. I, you know, download, upload to Rude Rangers TV where they put it on all of their social media. So I have the TV show that I do twice a week and host it and so on and so forth. And then I have the social media and then the website and then, but then I also take clients and I do private sessions for hypnosis for healings and then for reading, medium and psychic readings. And on top of that, there are other things that I take care of with the business. And then I also work with one of my friends and I do just so much stuff with that. So it's, I actually am a very, very busy person.  And I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to. So I'm not going to stream on Facebook any longer. And they all, you know what the funniest thing I realized, they all start out, it's the same person or all of these different people have the same script that they just paste to people.  I see there's negative energy around you. You're the only negative energy around me right now. So please, you know, don't get scammed. That's my very long thing for don't get scammed. Next. And since blog talk isn't up and running today, I'm just going to take my time. I really am. I'm gonna just take my time and not feel like I need to rush with anything. So the next thing I would want to say is I go live every Monday at noon. And every Wednesday at 7pm, both of those times are central. You can book private appointments. And again, I only have one, one website t o n i g dot info. And so if you do want an appointment, that's the only way you you can make that appointment, my private or my business number is on there. What else should I say? This is the most boring part of the show. And whenever I start a show, I'm always full of nervous energy. You know what, I'm going to just go straight into it, the eclipse. Today is the eclipse, happy eclipse day. And they've made such a big a do about this one. And I've I've said so many times that, you know, when they're don't be, don't be, how do I say this? Because because here's the way I think I can say it best. Don't fall for the fear. Don't buy into the panic. No matter, you know, if they're if our energy is fearful or low, it's very easy to manipulate. Stay happy, stay positive, stay in a good place. Today is one of the biggest manifesting days, because it's a new moon, there's a lot going on. If we're in a state of fear, we can't manifest appropriately. So if you are a person who manifests, please stay in that really positive space to manifest. Listen, the way I would also say this, and please do not come for me or think I'm whatever, if it's a big doomsday, we're all going to go anyway, don't, don't worry about it, don't panic. It's just going to happen. We don't have to like, be all Oh, my God, about it. But it's, it's, it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine. We might have an intense week, a lot of emotions, a lot of things coming up, but it's going to be fine. I do feel like if you, there is something that you've been wanting to put, put into the universe, I do it, but we do it with our heart, we do it with our happiness, we do it with our joy, and that's how it comes back the fastest. So don't buy into all the stuff they're putting out. Okay, please don't just stay in that higher vibrational level and try to keep yourself there so you can bring in all the things you want, but also just, you know, so that it's, you have a better life. I think people in a higher vibrational level have better lives. Obviously, obviously, right. That's obvious. Okay. What should I do first? Names, songs, or channeling? What should I do, folks? Names, songs, or channeling the first person to comment? That'll be what I do. Names, songs, or channeling? What do you guys think? What do you want me to do? I'm going to go with let's go with names, because that's what I'm hearing. Oh, channel, Jay Francis. Hey, Jay Francis, so happy to see you. Sorry about, I'm so happy you're here. So happy you're here. Okay, we're going to go channeling first because the first person who responded gets the thing. Okay. Today, we are going to channel. Today, we are going to tell you that there are universal changes coming in. These universal changes will take you to a new level if you wish. Yes, veils are thinning, but only for those who care to look, feel or understand this. The veil is the lining between the dimensions. I know you understand this as planets or planets, but it is actually planes. And between each plane, there is a veil. The veil will thin for those who are accepting and wanting.  If you are in a higher frequency and wanting to see the veils thinning or what is on the other side of the curtain, shall we say, you will be seeing higher frequency elements. If you are in a sad, scared, fearful place, you will be seeing the lower frequencies and elements. So as you go into the space, please make sure that you keep your frequency and your energetic being high. You can do this through laughing, finding joy, and being happy in the moment for the moment. And in those moments, you will have dramatic shifts in your energetic being. If you cannot find something to be happy for in that moment, perhaps things are not going in the way that you think they should, or the way that you wish they could. Think back to a time when everything was perfect in your life. Your cell memory will take you directly to that time of joy and happiness, and you will feel that and your cell energy doesn't know the difference between the past, the present, and the future. As you go back to the past, to the happiest memory that you can pull up, the happiest experience, your cell memory system will be flooded with that in the what you call now. As it's flooded with it, your frequency and your energetic being will be elevated and brought up even higher. If you do this two to three times a day, we would like for you to do it two to three times in an hour. If you are not feeling a high frequency at this time, if you are feeling depleted or depressed, we would like you to do this as often as you can. Also, if you go back to a time when you felt your strongest, your most vibrant, your at your peak, even if this is a time in childhood, and you recall that, your cell memory will fill with that again into your current cell being. Many times when people have nostalgia, you can literally see their facial expression change, but their face changes also, and they have that being, that essence of that time immersed within them. But then when they come back to what they consider the now or the reality, they lose that. If you can hold that as your being, it will be your being. It is imperative at this time that you reach your highest frequencies and energetic possibilities as possible. Universal veils are thinning. And with this, you have choice as you've always had choice. You have the ability to choose what choice to make. Make choices from the highest space possible. For the highest space possible. Thank you. Okay, you guys, that's what they have to say to you today. I love that. I'm actually going to go back and listen to that. I think that's really imperative and really beautiful. I am going to allow people to call in to my business phone, oops, my business phone, and ask questions. But you can only call in one at a time because, well, it's not like blog talk where you can sit and wait. And I can only take one call or at a time anyway. But I'm going to start with a question on the chat. Here we go. I think this is a good question. I haven't read it yet. Hi, Tony, thanks for helping out with my father's apartment in China. You are welcome. Things happen just as you predicted. And we are in the process of getting the key back. They're always right. They are always right.  Because what? Wait. Where's the next one? Okay. Wait, we're in the middle of a story. We can't leave it now. We caught him let someone occupying the place without our permission. Hmm. Just wanted to know if this apartment is still able to be sold to our neighbor or someone else. I think what you're asking is if the apartment is going to be sold to the neighbor or someone else. And then we're going to go here. Currently, this is a continuation of that one, I believe. Currently, the apartment is under heavy restriction by the officials. We are not sure if the neighbor had some bad influence over this matter. Okay, Julie, we need to book a session. If we need to book a session, let me know. Okay, Julie, what I'm going to give you the best possible. I'm going to give you the best possible answer I can. Okay, so is. Okay, I have to go back to the question. Is still going to be able to be sold? Okay, is this going to be able to be? Yes, it's going to be sold. Is the neighbor going to buy it somebody else? Somebody else is going to buy this property. The neighbor is not going to buy it, nor is the neighbor going to be able to buy it. If the neighbor, the neighbor, I'm going to say this in a way that I'm hearing it. The neighbor kind of hijacked it and did this to strong arm you to manipulate or strong arm to get what they wanted. It's not going to work. I do feel like it's going to be a little bit sticky and challenging, and you do need all of the appropriate paperwork, and you will get through it. The neighbor is going to be in trouble, which is going to be very, very not good for the neighbor. Not easy trouble either. It will be trouble, trouble. And let's just put it this way. If an official was involved, that official will also be disgraced and in a lot of trouble. But eventually it's going to take a moment, be patient. It will be able to be sold sooner than you think, but not as quickly as you would like is what I'm hearing. Just make sure you are doing everything by the book and appropriately, and you are going to be very happy with your results. That's what I am getting for you, my love. If someone would like to call in and ask a question, let me rise. You're going to be the next question I post. If somebody would like to call in and ask a question, a call in number today, and only today is<PHONE_NUMBER>. The first person to call in is the call I'll take. And when that comes in, I'll let you know. If it comes in while I'm answering a question, you're welcome, Julie. While I'm answering a question, I will take the call, have you wait, and then I will continue to answer the question just in case. Because when blog talks down, it's a little bit different. And everybody expects to be able to just go to blog talk and call in. So the people here in YouTube land are just used to posting questions, which is a okay. Okay. Let me rise. You have risen. Okay, I think I'm funny. I'm sorry. You know what, you guys? I didn't even do names and questions. The channeling had me so like, I didn't even do names or questions. Okay. Sorry about that. I had a song lyric playing on loop. Oh my gosh, let me rise. Isn't that like the craziest thing? I'll tell you in a second. Playing on loop in my head over a few days. And I had a feeling that I belonged. I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone. Can you please tell me the message from spirit? Yeah. Yes. That is, I want to make sure, let me rise. I think, and I had a feeling that I belonged. I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone. Those are the lyrics that were playing, correct? If those are the lyrics that were playing, please let me know. The message I'm getting for you is reach higher. You can do exactly what you are wanting to do. Don't hold back. This isn't a time for holding back. I don't think this is a song or maybe it is. I'm hearing it in a song lyric. I'm hearing reach for the sky. Reach for the sky. I can't sing like that. I can't sing at all. But reach for the sky. Please hold. And allow yourself to be in that space where you have no limits whatsoever. Let me rise. That's the message I have for you. I have a caller. I hope it's a caller. It could be a telemarketer too, but I don't think so. Thank you. Let me rise. Let's go here. What's your name and where are you calling from? The connection is terrible. I'm sorry. There's not a lot I can do about that. I'm having so much technical difficulty today. I can't even send out texts right now, sweetie. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll maybe just put a question on the track because I don't want to miss anything that you say. Thank you. Okay. You're welcome. So you guys, listen, I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's literally my phone or if it's something else, but even sending out text messages, it's saying they're not delivered. It's just a crazy, crazy, crazy day right now. Crazy day right now. Okay. Lynn Marie, I don't see a question from you, but it says thank you. So I don't know if you asked a question, Lynn. If you did, please let me know. Okay. You're welcome, though. Amy, is this Amy? Yep. All the same about high school musical. We're all in this together. Okay, yeah. These are messages from angels telling you, like letting you know. And you know, it's so funny, you guys, for Let Me Rise and Amy who are asking this and everybody else who's getting this, the message I keep getting to, it's not a song, but typically they do connect to me in song, but the message I keep getting, there's no red, there's no blue anymore. There's no right, there's no left anymore. There's no DEM or R-E-P. It's one bird and the wings are getting closer. Okay. It's an illusion they use to keep us. You've got to keep them separated. So if they can keep the peeps separated, it's us against us instead of us coming together and realizing what's going on, what's going on. Okay. Thank you for using music. It makes it easier. So if I said to you guys, you have absolutely no enemy, except for the, if I just said there are no enemies, there are no whatever you would say, but this person, yes. Okay. I get that.  Sorry, Ani. You're going to obviously be next. A place of non-conflict and a place of knowing that we are one, whatever is going on in our head is what shows up in front of us. So if we have inner conflict, outer conflict shows up. If whatever it is, that's where that is. And I could go on about this for days, but I'm not going to do that to you guys because you've heard it all before from other seers and other channels. And the idea is to get to the place of peace within you. Okay. Alrighty. Ani A and I. Hi. I have been waiting for someone to come and initiate contract with me and propose when do you think this is going to happen? Okay, Ani. I need to ask a question. What is the way this comment is written? I'm not sure if this is work or relationship. Can you please clarify that for me, love? Just go, I'm going to scroll all the way down and wait for your comment. If you could please let me know because initiate a contract could be a work contract, initiate and propose. Propose always sounds like marriage to me. So Ani, if you can, if you can let me know exactly what that means, I would be happy to answer that. Julie, you're welcome. Hey, Mo, how are you? I hope everything's going well for you. Okay. I had a question before about a relationship and your advice helped me process. We are no longer together, but the messages from Spirit were helpful. Is there any message for our healing? Yeah. Here, let me do a clearing. And this is really, you guys, this is at the 27-minute mark of the show. And I'm just going to say let's clear any and all hurt, pain, suffering, has healed, cleared, released. Let's pull that out. And then let's do, I've let go of all from this situation. You can say relationship and I get a no. So let's clear that all across and kept this. We're going to clear that. And I know that a lot of times when we leave a relationship, we're not ready for the next one where we want a next one, but we want to get past the hurt and pain before we jump into something else. Like I can't imagine for me personally. I can't imagine trying to be happy with someone else when I'm still sad about one person. I can't, I'm not, like if I've broken up with someone and I really cared about that person, I couldn't just like, and it's not wrong if you can, if you can, you're probably more functional than I am. I want to process all those unhappy feelings. I want to like, be healthy and not sad before I move on to the next thing. Because I don't, I don't want to take that into the next relationship, first of all. And second, I don't want to be thinking about somebody else while I'm laying with a new person. I don't know. Anyway, so let's let everything go. And I'm going to tell you in June, you're going to have the potential to meet somebody new and have a new relationship start. Now, I always say potential because it's your choice. You don't have to, you don't have to go into something new. You could take more time for yourself. But that June and into July time is a time when people will be gravitating toward you. And you're going to have the option to start new relationships with friends, but especially with a partner. And the relationship with the partner is going to be significant. And it will be something that will help you learn and grow with and in love. Now, here's something I had to learn to put out. Or I've had, as we all have, we've all had relationships that have been maybe not the best, strongest relationships. They taught us to love ourselves. Every relationship is to teach you to love yourself because everything here is about self love. If you can unconditionally love yourself, not in that egoic way, but in that way that I know who I am. I'm not better than or worse than anyone. But I am me and I love who I am. I love what I do. Even if you can't love your daily work, if you love everything about you, that's what this is about. Now, when you allow someone to come in that is not respectful, that is not loving, that is not kind, that is not caring, you can make excuses for that person because of their past and what they've been through and their their exes. But then you're compromising your own self love. And it took me a minute to get this. It took me a minute to understand.  No, the key is to no matter what, never let anybody compromise how you feel about you. Never let anybody make you feel less than or never let anyone, and the terms I'm using might not be the best, never let anyone come in and let that love you have for yourself diminish in any way. Even if that person is hurt or has bad experiences, we all do. So what I had to learn to ask for was to learn love in a different way. I had learned since I was a born love in this way from dysfunctional whatever situations, which many of us have. I'm not claiming a badge on that. We've all been through it. But now I say now bring me somebody who eight loves love, like I do, because I just love love. Oh my God, I love love. Bring me someone who is kind and caring and able to behave in a kind and caring and loving way and express love. And if that doesn't exist, that's okay, because I have plenty of love for me. And again, not in that egoic way. So please know that in June, you're going to have that opportunity come in to you, pick wisely, choose wisely, choose wisely. That is what they are saying. Okay. Okay, I've come down to the bottom relationship. Okay, Annie, Annie asked the question, when is a contract going to come in for love? And possibly a proposal main. Now, Annie, Annie, I'm sorry if I'm mispronouncing your name. Please know you are going to have this person come in in May. And I'm hearing the song, it takes two, it takes two, baby, me and you. So it's good if if either one of you are not bringing something to the table, don't, don't participate. It's okay to walk away. You need to be in a situation where both of you are bringing equal things to the table. Okay, just know that. Let me rise that this makes a million percent sense. Tony, you are amazing. Thank you. Absolutely, my pleasure. Absolutely, my pleasure. The next question. Oh yeah, you guys, it's not, you know what, I'm going to tell you guys, there's so much going on this week. The eclipse, the new moon, Mercury's in retrograde. Planets are conjuncting on Wednesday, I think. So just be patient this week, no matter what happens, be patient. Okay. Oh, Lynn Marie, thank you. Thank you so much. I'm going to go to, I'm looking for the next question. So many people are in the chat, just having great conversations. And I absolutely love that. And thank you, Jay Francis. Yeah, Jay Francis is asking for my higher and better. Let's see, I think this is a question. Okay, is asking for my higher and bet high is asking. This is why I didn't go to college, folks, because I can't read a sentence. Oh my goodness, is asking for my highest and best a cop out. No, never, never, never. Am I just too lazy to think about what I really want? No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, absolutely not. Okay, so here's the thing, when we ask for what is in our highest and best for us, we are saying you might know something I don't know. I might be trying to push my boat down this river. But I'm really, if I go down this river, the boat will just flow on its own. So asking for the highest and best of what is supposed to come to you or the highest and best possible is a beautiful statement, because you're allowing you know, angels, God, whatever you believe in to come and bring you what is meant for you in the best possible way. And I sometimes I'll do that. Sometimes I'll say, okay, listen, I've asked for a a million times since I was 20 and a is not being delivered. So bring me what you think I'm supposed to have. And that that's a beautiful thing. Jay Francis, absolutely beautiful. I love it. Okay, let's see what. Okay, Rebecca has a question. Rebecca, this weekend at work, I had a customer her name was Raquel. I told her that's my mother's name. She's like a mother's. She's like my mother's name is I'm sorry, I need to read this over here. I know everybody has read it three times already. And I'm still trying to get through the first sentence. This weekend at work, I had a customer. Oh my gosh, that is okay, I finally got it. The customer. They each had their mother's other name. That's so awesome.  Those are little signs and synchronicities that are pure sweetness for us. I believe that. Okay, I'm going to take a break from this reading and answering questions, because I want to do songs today. So I'm going to I'm going to go back to questions, don't worry. And I am going to go back to whoops, I don't want to lose my spot. I am going to go back to questions, but I want to do songs because songs can be their messages, they're either answering a question, telling you your purpose, helping you along your way, what you should do next, or they can be a song your loved one loved, you love, listen together, or you just know it's a message from your loved one. And one song can be for so many people. So the first song that I'm getting is, row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Okay, that's the first song. The next song is, and sometimes it's a it's a statement. So I'm just going to go with whatever comes out. If we had more time together, I would have shown you the entire world. That's, that's a statement. I think that's a statement for someone. And then I'm hearing the name Robert. The next thing I'm hearing, or the next song I'm hearing is, it's a, you don't believe me, just watch, you don't believe me, just watch. I think it's, is that a tongue funk? I don't know if that's uptown funk, somebody let me know. The next song is, live and let die. The next song is, take it to the limit one more time. The next song is, or yeah, the next song is, make me a believe, make me a believe or that song. And then the next song is, let me in. The next one, I'm only going to do one more, everybody. The next one is, as soon as I said that, somebody just pushed their way right to the front and said this one. Because there were like four different songs playing at once. Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you. And we all know who that is. So yes, that's that. Okay. Okay, here we go. I'm going on a cruise in three, I'm going on a three day cruise. I'm nervous about it being the middle of ocean. Any message? Yeah, don't worry. Don't worry. Be just go and have fun. Enjoy it. Don't worry about it. Just have fun. Okay. Don't try to sneak alcohol in no matter how you try to sneak alcohol on to the cruise, they catch it.  So if you think, Oh, I'm going to put it in a shampoo and conditioner bottle. Nope. If you think I'm going to put it in this and this canteen and they won't know. Nope. They open everything and they go through it. They, they will find your alcohol if you try to sneak it in. All right. Just on that. How do I know? Does that really matter? I know a lot of people who cruise. That's how I know. Hey Heather, how are you? Heather wants to know where should I go on vacation for my birthday? Well, happy birthday, Heather. Happy birthday. Heather, go someplace you love. That's the first thing I'm hearing. I'm hearing you should go someplace warm. I hear stay in country rather than out, but someplace warm and someplace where you can have fun. That's what I'm hearing for you love. That's what I'm hearing. I hope that's helpful. What kind of e-commerce business should I open? Elizabeth, narrow that down for me. Give me some options. You guys, I'm happy you have so much faith in me. Sometimes I can get it. I'm going to tell you when I take calls, I can tap into the energy so much more. When I'm doing just reading the questions, there's so much energy coming at me and it's a little bit different. So please be patient with that. I wish blog talk was, you know, open and I could take calls right now, but I'm going to go to the next one. That was uptown funk. Thank you. Thank you, Mo. Oh, so if I went further down, she said I want to go to the beach, but I have no clue where. Yeah, Florida is good. Florida would be really good. Stay away from Tennessee. Don't go to Texas. And this is just for you personally that I'm testing on. Don't do anything west coastal. Don't go west coastal. Go east and down south.  Even, you know, one place I'm hearing might be fun, but not as fun as you would want it to be. Would be Georgia to vacation in Georgia for you would be okay. Not Tennessee. I get a yes on Georgia. A yes on Florida. I get a yes on anyplace else. Georgia or Tennessee. Not Atlanta though. Not Atlanta. Don't go to Atlanta. If you go to Georgia, not Atlanta, go someplace that is not Atlanta. Anyplace else? No, those are the two. Those are the two they're giving me a solid yes on. So that is what I would say for you. Okay. I am going to say this. Where are we on time wise? Okay, I have a little bit of time left. So if you have a question, please post it. I'll be happy to answer that question. If I missed your question, please post it. I will get to your question. I think I've answered all the questions today in the chat. I could be wrong. Probably am. You're welcome, Heather. You're so welcome. So the person who asked about the e-commerce business, I'm going to go back up to Elizabeth. Elizabeth, if you're still with us, tell me some of the things you're thinking and I'll tell you which one is the best. E-commerce covers a lot of area. I mean, there's now if I'm getting this correctly, e-commerce covers everything from TikTok shop to Amazon to Walmart to eBay to there's so many different things. And then on top of that, there's so many different ways to do e-commerce. I somehow I'm on this loop of people there. Okay, you guys listen to this. I'm not we're going to talk about businesses right now and what you can do for businesses. So I saw this video of this woman who has a cart, a little cart that like a cart, it's not a truck, it's a cart. And she has all the chicory stuff on it and little plastic containers with individual spots in them. And people come up and she gives them, she makes them chicory boards in this plastic container and she's busy from the time she shows up to the time she goes. Now that's ingenious. That's somebody who saw something trending chicory boards and said, you know what? I'm just going to take a cart to a park and start chicorying up everybody. I'm going to say this again, if you can build a what is it called? It's like a thing. I know the name of this a portable bar and start booking events. If you can't build one or have somebody build one for you, you can order something that will fit your need for a portable bar and start booking for private events. Another thing, I saw this this weekend, it's crazy. People literally go and they're on a live video and they're at a store, whatever store, and they're shopping, showing everybody on the other end of the live what's at the store and then picking it up and the people send them the money right away, you could be a live shopper, a live shopper. I'm going to tell you and they're doing it at not only like at stores like T.J. Maxx, they're doing it at thrift stores, they're doing it at estate sales. So even if they make sure they have the money before they check out and then the shipping and everything is included in the price and then they purchase it. Now the girls doing this at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx, I want to say kudos to you because if you have the card, you get all this bonus money that you can use there, that is infricking genius. That's bonus on bonus, seriously. If you see something, just run with it, run with it. So let's see, Olga is, can I my person? Hmm, let's find out. Is, can I Olga's person? Olga, are the two of you together?  Please confirm that for me. I feel like someone else is going to be coming in for you. If you two are together, I'd be interested to know how long just because of what I'm hearing. Once you answer those two questions, I can tell you the rest, Olga. How long have you been? And if you were on the phone with me, I'd be answering, I'd be asking the same questions just because of what I'm hearing. Two months. Okay. Thank you, Olga. I'm gonna, I'm gonna sneeze and then I'm gonna answer, excuse me. Okay, Olga, here's what I'm hearing. And thank you for letting me know that this is so much easier to say. It's not easy, but it's easier to say for someone who's been with someone for two months, not that you don't have feelings than somebody who's been with someone, let's say for two years. No, he's not your person. And let me explain. I know that by this point in the relationship, we're typically pretty like, oh, you know, trying to visualize a future with this person. And here's what I'm gonna say to you. There's something about this person that you're not aware of. I feel like I'm hearing the word addiction. It's an addiction. If you are aware of this person has this particular addiction, you're not aware how bad this addiction is. You, you're not seeing the whole picture of the addiction yet. This, like, let's just, I'm not going to give a four example, because you're going to know if this is accurate. The next thing I'm hearing is he is, he also, you may not know this yet, but one of the things I'm hearing is anger, anger, anger.  And this might have something to do with the addiction that he has. Or they could be two completely separate issues. There is something you're going to see within the next week, possibly. Don't take it when you see these things.  Oh, it was, you know, whatever. No, no, no, no. This is the tip of the iceberg. The rest is about to come up. And you're, as this person gets more comfortable with you, you're going to see more of it. So please don't. Now, the good news is, if it's good news to you, oh, she says, I felt that already. That's why I haven't slept with him. Oh, so good for you. That's so good for you. Let me tell you, by chemistry, chemical wise, by the third time, women are intimate with men. We are bonded and in love with them. This is how we fall in love with those guys that nobody, they're like, what does she see in him?  Why is she doing it? And this is why, because of our hormones, our hormones make us, well, it's like a genie. You get three times and then it's done for life. I'm sorry, don't. Yeah, in a month, somebody new is going to come in. That person's going to be better. But I'm going to tell you, in a month, somebody else is going to come in. But in July, Olga, July, July. Thank you, Rebecca. July is when you're going to meet somebody substantial. When I say substantial, this person has the opportunity, the potential to be somebody very important, very strong in your life. Somebody who can be a much better person to you, help you grow and learn in love, self love and other love, give an equal give and take relationship. And you know, when I'm talking to someone and I'm here, the tone in me, and the energy I feel tells me how it's going to be. So talking about the first guy was very, you know, talking about this guy that's coming in in July, very calm, very comfortable, able to get out full sentences and speak without hesitation. This is going to be a much more mature person, a very mature person. Please know that. Blessed girl. Hey, thanks for joining the show. Hello, question. Who is coming towards me in my love life in the near future? You're single. Thank you for being very exact on your question. Blessed girl, I'm just checking the time here. I'm going to do this as quickly as I possibly can. Blessed girl, I'm going to tell you this. You have somebody coming in in September that is going to be a significant person. This person has the opportunity to help you. I'm okay, I should just say what I'm hearing, but okay, escape your past relationship types. Tell me if that makes sense. Blessed girl, put it in the comments. If you've had relationships that have been same guy or same person different, same person, different body, same, same personality, this person's going to help you escape that type, meaning it's going to be a whole new type of personality coming in. And again, when I tap into the person coming in in September, it's a calm, peaceful energy. It's somebody that's elevated and can elevate. And if you if you are good with that, I want to say if you can if you can hang with that. I don't know, that's a weird way to say it, but this person will help you incline, go up is the way they're saying it to me. Thank you so much for your question. I am going to say this. I'm going to say if we we need to look for people who are respectful and working out of spirit, not spiritual, like, oh, la, la, la, like they're not working out of ego. And ego says, I can have this, I can have that. Where spirit says, I'm allowed to be here, so I'm going to be here. Ego wants everything, spirit wants what's best. I'm giving really kind of choppy, quick definitions to this, but that is what it is. So please, when you're looking for anybody looking at a relationship, and I'm going to do a quick clearing of anything stopping or blocking us from healthy loving relationships are now clear. Find somebody who's respectful first, both ways, and no ego is coming to the table. Okay, you guys, I love you so much. I'll be back Wednesday at 7 p.m.


Awesome. Hello, and welcome to another 12pm tutorial. This tutorial will teach you how to use G-Tunnel in order to access the internet securely. G-Tunnel is a program that creates a local HTTP or SOX proxy and uses that proxy to send information from your computer to the G-Tunnel server farm and then out to the greater internet. This means that G-Tunnel is encrypting your web session and circumventing any filters that might prevent you from viewing content online in your area. Now that you know how it works, let's go get the software. Open up a web browser and go to www.gardennetworks.org. Feel free to take a look around the Garden Networks page and when you are ready to move on click the download link on the right. Now click the link that says Click Here and save the file to your computer. Once the file finishes downloading, close out these windows and go to where you saved your file. The program comes to you in a zip file. If your computer cannot automatically open these files, you will need a program like WinZip or 7Zip to open it. Go ahead and extract the files. Inside the folder you will see three files. This is all you need to run the program. Go ahead and double click the G-Tunnel icon. This is the G-Tunnel user interface. You can see that it is currently in standard mode and that it says it is not ready. The creators of G-Tunnel have decided not to offer the standard mode for people outside of China but that's okay because they've built in other ways for people to use the program. Let me show you how that's done. First click on Settings. Here you should see Options, Standard Mode, Skype Mode, G Talk Mode, and Tor Mode. We're going to use G Talk Mode but we have to set it up first. Click the Options button. Under the Settings tab, I'm going to check the box marked Clear Internet Explorer Cache on Exit for added security. Now click the Transport tab. Here you should see two boxes labeled Gmail and Password. If you don't have a Gmail account, go to www.gmail.com and sign up for one now. I'll wait. Now that you have a Gmail account, enter your username and password here and then click the button that says Test. When it says Test Succeeded, you're ready to go on. Click the OK button. Click this OK button too. Now click the Settings button again and select G Talk Mode. In a moment, your Trans State will go from Not Ready to Ready. Now click the Internet Explorer button and then select Yes. Before we do anything, we should run a test. I'm going to open up an unencrypted web browser and go to www.checkip.org. That number is my current IP address. Now go back to the Internet Explorer browser and go to www.checkip.org. Hmm, that's not good. The number hasn't changed. If this happens to you, there's this very simple fix. First go to Tools, then Internet Options. Click the Connections tab. Click on Land Settings. Check the Use a Proxy server for your LAN box and then after Address, enter <IP_ADDRESS> and after Port, enter 8081 and click OK. And then click OK again. Refresh the page. Great. The number's changed, which means that we are now using an encrypted channel to access the Internet. In the lower right hand corner of your screen, there should be a small green version of the G Tunnel icon. You can click this icon and access many of the different options that are available on the user interface. To exit the program, simply click Exit. Now you know how to use G Tunnel.


Welcome to the 10th meeting of session 6 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. Before we move to the first item on the agenda, I would like to remind everyone present to switch their mobile phones to silent. The first item of business is to decide whether to take items 5 and 6 in private. I was a committee content to take these in private. Moving to agenda item number 2, we are considering instruments subject to the affirmative procedure. There was a late change to our agenda due to an SSI laid by the Scottish Government yesterday. It was the draft social security residence requirements Ukraine Scotland regulations 2022. The Department for Work and Pensions intended to make emergency legislation shortly, which will include removing certain residence-based qualifying conditions to allow individuals coming from Ukraine to the UK to access the benefits system immediately upon arrival in the UK. This SSI has been laid to ensure a parity of access in Scotland for Ukraine citizens to benefit for which Scottish ministers have responsibility. The Scottish Government is therefore seeking to have these changes come into force today. While the committee needs sufficient time to properly consider each and every SSI laid before the Parliament to make sure that they are correct as a matter of law, given the obvious immediacy here, I have allowed it to be added to today's agenda. I nevertheless reserve the right for the committee to look at the instrument again next week should any issues subsequently be found. We could then write to the Scottish Government to highlight these. While taking all of that into account, is the committee content with the regulations? Also, under this agenda item, no points have been raised on the following draft instruments. The Agriculture, Horticulture and Development Board Amendment Order 2022, the Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies, Scotland Order 2022, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, Exclusions and Exceptions at Scotland Amendment Order 2022, and the Relayed Social Security Uprouting at Miscellaneous Amendment Scotland Regulations 2022. Is the committee content with those instruments? Under agenda item number three, we are considering instruments subject to the negative procedure. An issue has been raised on one of those instruments, which is SSI 2022-97, the Police Act 1997, Criminal Records Scotland Amendment Regulations 2022. The instrument is made under the Police Act 1997. It amends the Police Act 1997 Criminal Records Scotland Regulations 2010, which makes provision for enhanced disclosure with suitability information relating to children and adults. The instrument adds an individual seeking to provide accommodation to a Ukrainian national who has left Ukraine in connection with the Russian invasion and any other person aged over 16 also residing on the premises that are to be used for the accommodation, as to further categories of individuals to whom an exempted question may be asked for the purpose of an enhanced criminal record certificate. Under section 282 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform Scotland Act 2010, instruments subject to the negative procedure are required to be laid at least 28 days before they come into force, not counting recess periods of more than four days. In correspondence with the Presiding Officer, the Scottish Government explained that the regulations are required to come into force urgently in order to have a suitable safeguarding system in place for the imminent commencement of the Homes of Ukraine scheme for those fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament under reporting ground G in relation to its failure to lay the instrument in accordance with the laying requirements under the 2010 act? At the same time, is the committee content with the Scottish Government's explanation provided for the breach of the laying requirement. Also, under the agenda item, no points have been raised on SSI 2022-86. Is the committee content with the instrument? Under agenda item 4, instruments are not subject to any parliamentary procedure. No points have been raised on SSIs 2022-82, 92 and 99. Is the committee content with the instruments?


Hi, this is Dr. Pramod Krishnan. I'm a consultant neurologist at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. I specialize in epilepsy. A seizure is a neurological disorder characterized by an abnormal, sudden, excessive electrical activity that involves the brain, which might involve a part of the brain or the entire brain. When you get recurrent seizures which are unprovoked, then you use the term epilepsy. So a single seizure is not really epilepsy.


Welcome back from the break. We talked already about the role of algorithms in social media today in the panel on media and education. And yesterday we already had a discussion in the context of the roots for a democratic and peaceful society. And then we also had some site discussions about narratives around protests and around social media discussions and how they play a role today. And now we have a talk about peace building in the digital era with Andrew Suthayu and Dava Abdullah. And I give you the floor for the talk now. It will be about 35 minutes and also that we can have 10, 15 minutes Q&A afterwards. Yeah, give a warm applause to the reference. Thanks. Thank you very much for the introduction. Hi everybody. My name is Dava Muhammad. I'm a journalist working for a local media organization called Curson24 based in Iraqi Kurdistan region. Today we will be presenting to me it's a really interesting topic and also a very new one as I have jumped into this world almost very recently. And the reason that I really wanted to take part in this was to really encourage people and also deliver and convey the significance of peace building efforts digitally. It has been a topic for a very long time. But as with the rapid growth of technology and digital media, we are more in need of this critical tool in our lives. So today I'll be talking about peace and conflict and digital era with my colleague Andrew who will be presenting the technical part of a very important tool that will be helpful in terms of achieving the end goal which is achieving peace and building peace digital world. I'll go throughout my presentation. I'll talk about these two concepts as well as my very recent participation in an interesting research project. It was called D-Maps organized and presented by BuiltUp which is a non-governmental organization and funded by British Council. Mr. Andrew was one of the amazing member of the technical team who developed let's say a tool system that really helped us as digital peace builders in terms of identifying all the issues and all as well as designing interventions to resolve them. So I will be presenting my part and then Mr. Andrew will walk you through all the technicalities of that tool that was really helpful. So firstly peace and conflicts have been the almost the two most long-standing themes and marks in our lives in everyone in everyone's societies around the world. It depends where you leave I get that for example I am from a region the Middle East which is known and which is known for its long-standing conflicts whether it's religious ethnic sectarian they have been there because it's a really what we call it a hordes area that in terms of climate as well as in terms of you know ongoing conflicts sometimes they get really violent and this is what really concerns people both inside the region and outside the region as they depend on the region for a lot of its resources and and the connections and the geographic similarity. So it's not new that's my message peace and conflict are not nothing new that we are discussing today what what is new to us or what has become a new trend is talking and discussing these concepts in the digital world we are very invested in technology and its advancement but unfortunately little attention has been given to all these consequences that are the results from this technological advancement peace and conflict are you know two parts of this of this issue that have been given less attention so if we define peace I think anyone can have a definition of its own but the definition that I picked up and I believe this that really fits the concept of peace is it's not only about the absence of violence it's not the it's it's not enough for you the the weapons to seize where it's more than that it's a climate it's an atmosphere in societies that people feel they they can thrive they can develop themselves they can grow that's peace it's it's it's it's a kind of situation where you feel secure where you can predict a foreseeable future and you feel you have the sense that this is gonna be the case for a long time on the other hand we have conflict which is basically it's a clash of opposing feelings or needs that's very simple we see that conflict in every aspect of our lives as we see later so what is the difference that that that's that's gonna be the next question and I know that many of you might have it in your minds what's the difference between this digital this peace building effort in real life and digitally and that's an important question and I think that's the main theme of this talk that I'm giving right now the there are similarities for sure but the the differences are the differences are the things that make this effort unique and requires our special attention in real life we see that diplomats politicians researchers university lecturers academy from the academic community generally come together to discuss the issues that their society suffer from and it's usually conflicts between the members of their society and and we know the actors we know who how are the opposing sides what are their needs what are their frustrations and concerns they come together to to discuss those issues in detail and to find solutions unfortunately sometimes they lead nowhere they lead the only thing they lead to is the continuation of conflicts uh that that turns into violence and it could be very deadly but in in digital uh era or world peace building is is very uh has has become very challenging because of two main reasons there are other reasons definitely but two main ones I in my opinion I think are obstacles or challenge big challenges for the process are first rapid flow of information given the the technological investment we have and second is the multiplicity of actors we can in real life we can have one opposing actor for example representing the community okay it could be a political party it could be an organization it could be you know any sort of other entity in the digital world that person let's say or that entity could multiply due to the the enormous access that social media gives you to represent yourself or digital world in in in general terms through websites through you know our focus is more on on social media platforms face begins to grab twitter and other social media networks it gives you an enormous you know opportunity to represent yourself through multiple channels through multiple tools that you can amplify your voices so this this this this is also a blessing but at the same time a really big challenge when it comes to digital peace building because you then you deal with with an enormous significant source of of of people or entities that try to push to push forward their causes as well as them and might use all that that opportunity to attack the opposing sites and and what we really did in our project with the build up and was was to to firstly analyze this this this this let's say landscape who are the opposing sites what they need what are their frustrations concerns what is what are their narratives that they use and I'll go into the more detail when it comes to to the the the project I took part in and and there are also in addition to the challenges we have you know tools at our disposal that we can use in order to tackle those challenges so that's the brightness that's the good news here one of the tools that was also part of that project I really benefited from was network or actor mapping in the digital world so who are the actors who are the opposing actors what they want you know where they are located and what what they say what they write and all this kind of information is very very crucial for understanding the conflict for analyzing it or even forecasting its trends as well as most importantly to design interventions if you want to deal with this challenge if you want to build peace digitally you really need this this this this is also a tool as well as a necessity that that you need to have at your disposal in order to tackle this challenge of of of this multiplicity of actors which is on you know a huge magnitude you really need to analyze and group them together and see who are they and what they want so in the the the official term that says the network or actor mapping that's that's one of them the second one is I think part of any day to day life of a digital base builder it's the ongoing social media monitoring it is similar to the life of a journalist you know that I have that you have to be constantly aware of the situations developments whether political economic or any other sort of developments that take place around you you need to have that awareness to see what's going on sometimes it's not for the sake of your work it is a habit you it has become a I will become like a habit for you to follow all these developments so later you feel that you can that that that will be useful for you in terms of of of being aware of all the trends that are taking place so for the digital digital base builders similarly this is also a case that they have to have that high awareness of what's going on in their societies in terms of you know who are the actors the channels the media organizations that have a big presence on social media and we can affect people's perceptions on on on many aspects or whether they are a source of spreading hatred fake news misinformation hate speech and all of that that all comes from an ongoing social media monitoring for example in our project with build-up we had another tool that we used during the research project was narrative analysis okay you have monitored you have the actor map you have mapped out the actors the entities that are opposing sides to each other and you have the information what they write about how they want to lead societies or people and how they want to affect people's perceptions but what is now here that's that's called narrative analysis then you come and analyze all their talks or the perceptions what that means but sometimes it could be indirect you you won't be lucky to find someone directly threatened another group or a person or a religious a member of a religious group you can sometimes you can't find direct religious you know hatred comments it could be you know very indirect and subtle for example in this example that's on on the screen this is a poster published by a very famous iraqi television called asha phia which has a lot of followers and viewers both on social media and and on tv in one post that's about covid-19 infections they chose a picture of members of a particular sect in iraq during the religious ceremony and they wrote on it that iraqi ministry of health wants of increase in covid-19 infections nothing there is nothing wrong with this statement right what is wrong is the choice of the photo for that statement and all the people here knows that this is this photo is taken or these you know ladies are performing a religious ritual and then the negative let's say perception that it gives very indirectly that blaming this sort of religious rituals and members of that that group to be a source of spreading covid-19 however these religious ceremonies were halted during the pandemic but this is this is the kind of danger that that that you will expose during your narrative analysis by analyzing it by understanding the motive behind these kinds of state statements that are put out here we have another issue in the digital world that's for any digital please builders and they they have to tackle and they have to face it generally is the issue of hate speech misinformation disinformation my my country my region is not devoid of this i know it's it's a global issue nowadays sometimes you know societies and other that have are lucky to have correct tools at their disposal to tackle this issue unfortunately in our parts of the world this is still a growing awareness raising issue that we are dealing with but what i can say that hate speech and misinformation always said that it's federal it it can kill people i've seen it and this is also case here that people groups have been discriminated even killed based on misinformation disinformation and speech and i believe it's an important aspect for any digital please builder to deal with of course challenging misinformation is one way you know to to tackle this issue and that challenge you could be absolutely bunking misinformation disinformation on on a particular social media platforms there are a few organizations that do that interact hopefully they're growing and it could be in the comment section sometimes that you have a team or you as an individual you see a post you comment on it you try to particularly or replying to you know comments from other people other commentators to to to raise that awareness this is fake be careful and you provide evidence for example so all all sorts of these steps could be taken to tackle this or it could be one-on-one conversations sometimes in terms of in the subject of hate speech you know some people targeting another group in the comment section as we dealt with and i this was my particular focus it was under my particular focus how can i work to in order to tackle the issue of hate speech against religious minorities in iraq in the comment sections of many posts that were about you know they're the religious peace now reach will go people who are fanatics were attacking them and shaming them and spreading misinformation disinformation one way we are mighty midnight took was was was to try to speak to those kind of people and telling them this is this is this is not true people are not like that but also that conversation is i compared to a talk therapy you really can't force them to speak you really can't just say no you're wrong no it's not going to work like that you need to speak to them peacefully in order to reveal their frustrations it could be in the comment section it could be in your private direct messages or any other tool in order to let them tell you their frustrations and then you you can challenge those thoughts through that or paranoia if they have any so as part of the digital media arts from inclusive public sphere project the maps i was it was a huge and a significant steps towards digital disability busy because it equipped us as people from iraq and korea to some region with the necessary tools with the necessary process that can that can help us and identifying as well as designing interventions for this issue and in and as part of the program i was with my colleague andrew we the technical team developed system or process or tool in order to help us or the base builders to to to achieve or go which is identifying and analyzing and designing interventions and also following up on the on the interventions we made my colleague andrew will be will walk you through all the technicalities of of the of the talk and i will i'll come back later to share my experience with that gray system uh and uh it's uh it's time to present the spark andrew the floor resource perfect thanks the var so as he said my name is andrew schiao i'm a data scientist i've been for seven years also the chair of correlate netherlands which is an NGO which brings data science to other NGOs on top of that i'm also a partner at a and and machine learning um consultancy called data value people and together with them we helped build up create phoenix which is a technical platform to help local peace builders and respond to social medium so as the far said we have these problem statements that come from local peace builders there's a multitude of things that they can do interventions that they can do but there are so many people and so many places where these interventions can be placed how do we make sure that the intervention that we're placing is going to the right place and if it's the correct intervention at all for that we need to munch through data so the thing that i'm going to be talking about is the data pipeline to get all that data in how to get automatic labeling models to reduce the manual organization of the data and how to get a dashboard to get this information to local peace builders uh next slide please for the computer scientists among us this can look uh familiar it's also quite a standard structure for a data pipeline um we have data coming in for us at social media twitter facebook youtube uh event data uh we need to get it into our system which we call raw we need to organize it anonymize it do some inference on it so that it can provide value to devar to be able to do that we also need some manual labeling and once everything is processed it needs to be shown on the dashboard next slide please so yeah data sources um again if you have a cs background i'm sorry this is going to be quite shallow but we have uh apis application programmatic interfaces ways for code to contact twitter or youtube um so that we can get the data in one thing to note is facebook and instagram used to come from the crowd tangle api which meta um published however due to bad pr they are discontinuing it probably um so right now we're applying for a facebook graph api which hopefully will get us the same thing um that's where most of the data comes in um some things we aren't able to get through apis which we'll need to manually scrape in this case facebook comments we created a small plugin where um people like devar can look at a post and look at comments and while they're scrolling through comments we screen grab it and um take the comments in to our system um beyond that we also have databases uh in this case the egg led which stands for the armed conflict location and event event data which is a near real-time data of um reported political violence and protest events has locations dates actors fatalities and what type of conflict it is um what we do is we get it all in we don't change anything at all no modifications save it as is either in jason or for us park a uh next slide please now the organization this is 80 percent of my work um but we'll run through it in one slide um so we organize things because we want to be able to compare and contrast uh between different platforms we also don't want to repeat pieces of code to process each platform separately so what we do is we uh map things that are similar between platforms into one structure so uh discourse while tweets have a character limit of 280 i believe now and uh youtube comments and facebook posts don't they're all snippets of text that people are using to speak on the internet so we can map that into a bit of discourse data um same thing for authors so whether it's a facebook profile or a twitter handle or youtube account it's all a person or a thing that places this snippet of text online um important is that we map only what we need um everything else we keep but we keep separate and for this you can think of uh unofficial retweets in twitter where you put an rt at the start or certain reactions in facebook like ha ha or lol or whatever there's no real easy way to map that to everything else it might be interesting at a later point um but it doesn't map cleanly into it doesn't map cleanly into um uh one structure um here we say them as parquet files um if you want more tech uh questions ask me later uh next slide please um this to me is a funds part as a data scientist um on my classification inference so the overarching and fundamental aim for us is to build a model or a representation or theory of the system that we have an interest in uh in this case we're aiming to build representation of the dynamics and drivers of conflict within societies from how they're played out in discourse in the digital public space then you can use our model or theory um to ask it firstly what will happen with this system in the future or what's likely to happen with the system in the future and secondly what's likely to happen in the future if we were to take a certain action to affect the system so in our case we want to be able to ask something like oh please go back uh we want to ask it something like um how might we affect the system if we do initiative x now these theories or representations of systems will be something um between precise mathematical models and fully qualitative and fuzzy theories um not to do that um we need to be able to view what's going on in that system at a level that's uh higher than the micro level um to create an analogy um if you want to understand what's happening in a forest uh you don't always consider every tree as an individual you try to categorize them into species and then try to look at aggregated data or more macro level metrics uh and properties of the system so for this forest we can ask um what proportion of the forest is oak tree in the same way uh we want to be able to ask what proportion of the discourse uh in the datasets that we've uh crawled is about the economy or about gender or about sectarianism now to answer that question of what proportion of the discourse is about gender we need to find a way to efficiently um identify which of these discourse data points are about gender so this is where uh automatic classification tools and models come in um we ask the peace builders to develop a taxonomy uh that's specific to their research question ask them then to manually label a small uh sample of the scraped data um and we then use that manual dataset uh to build a general classification model um next slide please um this is what it looks like uh it's a bootstrapped google sheets because the first thing you do is you find whatever works um this has tweets in the chronological order um they can read the text and say hey is this about gender sectarianism economy um or other irrelevant uh we also give them the option to say all right there are certain keywords in there which mean that if you see this in any text it's always about sectarianism uh as well as okay there's a keyword here that usually means it's about sectarianism but not always uh next slide please once we have this um this annotated data uh we can make rule based and statistical classification models for a number of different things text relevance subject topics hate speech types of conflict and online behavior and we also ask them to make uh actor and affiliation labels uh from a pre-identified list um with this we can then run this on the rest of the dataset that um they haven't seen before haven't annotated to get classified labels for all the data so with this we can go a level deeper and ask not just how many but how are oak trees distributed within the forest are they evenly spread out uh are they in tight clusters uh analogously we can ask okay in what areas of the network are individuals um uh that are speaking about gender um is that discussion localized to certain groups of accounts is it localized to certain people um so the answer is to this question um help us build that representation uh or theory of the system and that allows us to uh gain that insight into what an effective uh initiative could be to affect that system for the better uh next slide please um so what's the value of this uh in the overarching game uh it's take all this fine-grained data uh build a higher high level representation of it um you could read every single posts um if you had infinite patients in infinite time but we don't so we need to be able to compress that data um down into something that's consumable to humans same way that if you uh want to understand the forest uh you don't analyze every single leaf now there are many open source models uh out there that compress data into something that's consumable by us and a lot of them are very good um we use this to improve our own inferences uh improve being the operative word here um as all open source models are trained for a use case that's slightly different than ours um so an open source model but might be very good at bowling down whether a particular discourse data point has a positive emotion or a negative emotion attached to it uh what it won't be good at is understanding the localized context and building that representation that we want um hate speech and the words that are used to display that hate speech uh are different in different countries and regions and it's something that I as a data scientist or programmer from the Netherlands know nothing about and it's something that um I don't have enough knowledge for to create a representation for what I can do is I can facilitate the flow of information um into the system from people like Devar people that are part of that context uh people that are steeped in that conflict or part of that community um next slide actually go go two more because we don't have enough time for this um yeah so uh let me take you through this dashboard in uh general um uh general case uh what this dashboard allows you to do is to slice and dice based on uh sentiment based on uh peace builder defined classes such as sectarianism or religion um and uh look into date and cross-reference with things such as the acled database uh it's currently made on uh AWS quick site but we're moving towards apache super set because free and open source software um but to showcase how it's used further um I'd like to hand over back to Devar great thank you very much uh uh Andrew uh on the dashboard uh that we had and uh we really uh to get advantage of was was in terms of targeting interventions in terms of for example in one case we wanted to find out uh which media organizations based in Iraq across the whole country that have uh posts uh even their own posts and the comment section that have a lot of negative sentiments and we were able to identify them easily without going through all of these uh pages and the the system gave us you know the top five uh pages that had that attracted during the certain period of time that you can choose a lot of negative sentiments and then you can narrow down later to see against tomb and what were the reactions how we're because we had different also uh the sentiments uh in the system uh for the uh the the other part of of the project was also about uh uh using the dashboard to design the intervention as I did later when I made an awareness raising uh video and also uh online campaign uh that that was wholly based on the results we got from the dashboard so in conclusion I want to say that the digital base building is if it's not uh already decayed it's an integral part in uh of of future conflict resolution methods uh I think this is this is the most important part of it that we have to sooner or later deal with it so and that's why as a local peace builder I'm 100 percent for for encouraging this this effort and improving it because that's that's the future of conflict resolution thank you very much for your time I hope it was useful and if you have any questions comments uh that we missed something in the presentation we would like to get it thank you yeah thank you very much for the interesting insights in your work and uh it was amazing how you show how technology and humans interact and build together because often technologies understood as solving problems on its own but it's always needs uh yeah intelligence how to build it and also how to use it and put it into practice it was a very interesting example for it to the audience are there already questions to the talk otherwise I I'm I would would would ask there are there are many technical aspects and and and one of them would be um you you said that you if you analyze the disc the discourse uh you normalize it so um then I would ask is this a kind of finding uh double posts and and bots for instance or and and to to to bind it back to to to the real real posters or what would be the the focus of normalizing um the twitter posts for instance um it's it's less for that I mean we also do that but that's a side effect for it um the main reason for us to to normalize things back is um we want to build a data set of this is um an interesting corpus of data for us so for a particular research question um as I said before we have lots of open source models which work very well um but for us to get something that's useful for Devar or any other local peace builder uh we need to rebuild that that corpus and retrain the model to help understand um differences between the data set that we're looking at and whatever the previous model was trained on um not too sure if that answers your question so it's mostly a data set gathering um effort yeah my question was in the direction that um some yeah you have the the danger of of a misrepresentation of discourses in in social media because if you have a a small amount of of people who are very well organized um then things can can can look much more more um relevant than they might be in in practice and and I I wondered if if this would put one one aspect of your your your data um normalization and um not really I mean it's it's always going to be inherently biased also by the the way that we do our analysis so um we don't have access to a twitter fire hose um we ask them okay what what actors are important to you what actors do you see and from there we try to expand it to um um a small subset of the public online discourse so we're always going to have that bias but um by picking and choosing actors that um are important to the particular conflict um you're able to create this narrative analysis around a conflict that they've already specified um so this uh sorry I've gone on a tangent no no it's it's it's fine I think it's getting getting clearer now um is there another question I would just open the room for questions I have a lot of but yeah um there's one question from the audience hello yeah um thank you for the interesting presentation um maybe you said it but I missed it somehow uh the the categories how many did you have how many labels did you have for many different ones and and which ones um so uh there's a difference between labels and classes so um for classes that depends on each of the the groups that we um that we serviced so Devar I think you had about 10 religion sectarianism something like that yes uh I mean the we had one about sectarianism we had one about religious hatred I think these two about that was close to each other but we have we had ethnic and others too yeah so roughly between five and 10 per group that we helped and then labeled data we had a couple of thousand tweets or posts that we used to train a model maybe let me ask another question um I still have um it's it's it's not so easy to to to make up my mind how it really is in practice there are two two things one how would you in in your local work um how would you see that that the the social media discourse is really so impacting your daily work and and how strong is this interrelation and the second one um yeah or maybe you want to ask um to answer directly okay uh I mean in terms of of my uh as a journalist you mean uh and and how social media is affecting uh you know my my profession uh I deal with every day uh it's it's it's part of my work uh you know to debunk uh to to see the you know misinformation to detect them miss or disinformation and also uh it's uh what we really focusing on right now is especially after the the research project I took part in it's just to to build an awareness about for example we have we report something on a religious uh uh uh a fast or ritual of a particular religious group inside our region we try to when we report it we try in the background information we try to provide accurate information about the event about the rituals why they do it and what's what's their significance for its people because this is the awareness we want to build through journalism to uh to our audience it in my opinion it was in the absence of this accurate information and it's in the absence of it that uh misinformation disinformation grows and people people take the chance to target them so so so to to wrap up my answer is is that I think it's it's closely uh interrelated and and and I can't really do my work without uh monitoring social media all the trends and trying my part you know without trying contributing to to to to to fix it uh you know even if it's little I think uh it's a collaboration an announced one but uh it's it's part of my work and um if there's no other questions from the audience I would I would ask um beyond your your work as a journalist um is there also a link to more to or how can I imagine the the link to civil organization groups um are there is there interest in in monitoring media and interacting then in in real life operations interactions yeah uh with regards to this question uh which is a interesting one uh in in in iraq generally and in my region because of region uh there is I I feel that there is a growing appetite uh for monitoring social media platforms because people are getting uh aware of of of the dangers uh we've we've we've already enjoyed the the the significance significance of it as the positive side of it I think people are now waking up to see it could be really dangerous in terms of misinformation in terms of disinformation in terms of hate speech and there are people you know especially young people are grouping up to to to to uh some some of them are just online initiatives others are actual civil society organizations one of them uh who is also part of their research project with us uh was tech for peace based in fact that the capital of the country uh they did an amazing job and they are still doing it in terms of uh they're also monitoring our channel as well for for any misinformation or inaccurate and they posted and they once they posted on on their platform which has a lot of um uh the audience of followers uh they uh they try to aware people of fake views of misinformation inaccurate sometimes so I believe it's a growing we are in a growing stage it's it's not fully and it's too it's not fully developed but I understand this is because of lack of awareness which is now you know uh starting to to to uh to garner momentum and to add to that um the demaps project that we were part of it wasn't just myself and of our and build up and tech for peace um we had I think 19 or 20 local peacemakers around the Middle East and North Africa uh Jordan Libya um all jumping on this opportunity to understand the digital public sphere and figure out what kinds of interventions they can place on it okay thank you and maybe a last question we as as a fifth local group for instance how we could make use of your system um it's free and open source software so great because I missed I missed the GitHub link maybe it's a GitHub link um I'll make sure it gets to you yeah fine good thank you um yeah thanks very much for the for the presentation maybe you give a warm applause to the two thank you both


Oh What would happen if you did that same type of force to an M. Oh I think we killed it. So we have some serious denting The teeth of this thing just dented the cap and as you can see it's got a nice little pinch in there Yeah, I think it's still functional though. Let's see if we can reshape it Reshaped the condenser not sure if that's gonna help I would guarantee the cap is still functional the teeth on the hammer really chewed up the cap Put it on this 21m tip and cap This was struck pretty hard. Oh So it does still function the airflow is going to be different. It's gonna give you a very unique experience. I Will say that but overall this is still a functional cap You


Do you believe in soulmates? Having a soul connection is more powerful than any kind of relationship we can have. If you share a spiritual bond with a friend or partner, the bond is likely to last a lifetime. And as your friendship blossoms, you're drawn to one another and learn from each other's experiences. So, how will you know when you meet them that they're special? Before we begin, we would like to say that there has been a huge decline in mental health around the world, which is why we're so committed to creating more content than we ever have.  Alright, here are our six signs your soul is connected to someone. Number one, your conversations are easy and natural. Are most of your conversations awkward or boring? Maybe your conversations lately haven't had that spark that you're looking for. When you have a soul connection with someone, all of that can change. Conversations with your partner or friend should flow easily, and new topics should come up naturally. You'll find yourself wanting to talk to them more, even if you're not one to frequently keep up to chat in a group. Forced small doc and awkward silences won't be a regular occurrence with them. Actually when you do run out of things to say, those moments of silence will be comfortable because you feel comfortable with them. Your intuition is telling you, this is right. Do you let your intuition guide you? Perhaps your instincts are kicking in with this individual. Something just feels right, and you know it deep down inside of you. Whether you've known them for a while and want to grow in your relationship or you're just meeting them for the first time.  Will you approach them? Number three, it's as if you've known each other forever. So you're falling into one of those natural conversations we've discussed and everything just feels right. You can't help but think, have we met before? Because it feels like I've known you all my life, maybe in a past life, or maybe there's just a deep connection between the two of you. You feel comfortable around them and their presence even feels familiar. This is a sign you may have a soul connection. Whether as a friend or a lover, they may just be destined to be a great addition to your life. Number four, you both respect each other. So you've been hanging out with this individual for some time now and you've noticed there's a great deal of respect between you both. No one's trying to force you to fit their standards and both are looking out for each other's needs in a respectful way. You should have and receive respect in all your relationships, but this is definitely true for someone you connect with spiritually. You're both equal partners in this journey you take together and you treat each other as such. Number five, there's a strong positive energy between you both. Things feel natural and comfortable between you two, but you also often feel this strong energy, an electrical current running between you two. This is another sign and should be a positive force you feel. You shouldn't feel afraid or insecure when you're with them, but instead excited and drawn to them. They should also feel the same way about you. And number six, you share the same values and you encourage each other to grow. Healthy relationships work when couples not only trust and respect each other, but when they share the same life values as well. This goes for the important things in life, not the small indifferences and opinions every now and then. If you both can agree on the important values of life, then your relationship will flourish. You should also encourage each other to grow and not stay static. You shouldn't have to stay in the same place for someone. You can both grow together in many ways. Partners who not only encourage each other to grow, but hold similar values in life are perhaps destined to be great couples. And if they have many of these signs, they may even be a spiritually connected couple as well. So, do you have a soul connection with someone? Who?

Being on this jump means to me empowerment. It lets me know that the 82nd Airborne Division, Center of the Universe, sees me and tears me. They know that I can and I will get it done. We are a all-female aircrew. We are uploading 82nd Airborne all-female jumpers out of Pope and then we're going to go over Holland D.Z., drop them. So the fact that it is on all-female aircrew, both in both jets and in all-female jumpers is a huge deal because all of these women have gone through so many hurdles in order to be in their position, be qualified, and be the tactical airwomen that they are. And so the fact that we can celebrate our ability to do this as an all-female crew and all-female jumpers is incredible to me. So I just feel very honored that I get to be part of this two-ship and a part of female power as a whole for the Air Force. What this jump means to me is that females are finally being recognized for all that they can do. And as a female paratrooper, I just feel honored and blessed to stand by my fellow female paratroopers and be able to complete this mission today and jump out of this bird.


We've done quite a bit of work over the years in public opinion issues related to climate change. But in our looking at other areas really were the issues of energy and environment intersect. Fracking or hydraulic fracturing for shale gas is a very prominent one and so on. This survey we look at the opinions of Michiganians and Pennsylvanians on this particular issue. We were actually surprised that given the fact that Pennsylvania has had such longer and more intensive involvement in this issue that public opinion on a great many issues converged or was really quite similar between Michigan and Pennsylvania. We did find that majorities in both states think that the benefits of fracking will outweigh the problems caused by fracking. That said, there clearly are concern about a range of environmental risks and very strong support in both states for a rigorous regulatory system for environmental protection, full disclosure of the chemicals that are used in the fracking process, taxation, and other mechanisms that have emerged in consideration of policy, including the idea of possibly some sort of a delay or moratorium to study the issue before going fully into this. In Pennsylvania overwhelmingly the biggest single concern related to water or water quality, an issue that has emerged substantially in Pennsylvania as fracking has expanded and even been brought up in documentary and commercial films. In contrast, in Michigan we had a much more diverse set of responses, some concern about water but also other considerations and also a much larger percentage of Michigan respondents who really weren't sure about what the single biggest issue is that simply might reflect the different experience that we've had thus far and could be a significant driver for policy considerations going forward.


Diabetes malitis has been a big problem in recent times in Ghana and in Kumasi in particular. People come to us every every week to be tested to know their diabetic status and in some cases we face with a problem to decide whether they are diabetic or not. In those cases where there are borderline suspicion that they are diabetics we do what we call the oral tolerance test or GTT. Now the patient is made to fast overnight for at least a period of ten hours and then the patient comes to us in the morning at the hospital. Some blood sample is taken at baseline to assess the fastened blood sugar and we prepare a standard glucose for the patient to take in. What we expect that if the patient is actually non-diabetic the first 30 minutes you expect the glucose load to rise. So for one hour the glucose levels going up then ultimately at the end of the two hours it comes down to normal indicating that the patient is not diabetic and during that period of glucose load there is a corresponding and concomitant release of insulin that controls the sugar level. So at the end of the two hours you expect that the equal rise of insulin will control the acid glucose and convert it to glycogen for storage and it comes back to the threshold which will be between 3.6 to 6.4. So in summary what we expect that if the patient is normal then after the glucose load challenge then the glucose level at the end of two hours will come between say 3.5 to 6 and not more because obviously the the insulin working perfectly would have converted the acid glucose so that the patient will have a normal glucose level.
