Hello everyone! I'm Yen from Vietnam. I'm currently doing the master degree in human resource management. I'm so excited to become a student ambassador and I come here to share my outstanding experience here in Edinburgh with you all.


Colgate palm olive peat makers of Colgate dental cream luster cream shampoo and palm olive shaving creams bring you our miss Brooks starring Eve Arden and we take this joyous opportunity to wish you on behalf of Colgate palm olive peat a glorious Merry Christmas And now our miss Brooks time once again for another comedy episode of our miss Brooks written by Al Lewis Well, most of us spent Christmas Eve with our families and friends But our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School wasn't quite so fortunate No, my family was too far away to visit and it seems my friends had other plans But I made up my mind not to brood about it and was trimming a rather tiny tree in our living room when my landlady Mrs. Davis joined me. What a nice tree Connie. It isn't really Mrs. Davis But it's the only one I could afford. Oh, what did you pay for it? I found it in a vacant lot What I like about it is the size. It's not too big or too small. It's just too small I'd like to stay here and celebrate Christmas Eve with you Connie, but I promised my sister Angela I'd come over to her place You remember Angela the absent-minded one. Oh, certainly Mrs. Davis She always got a big thrill out of the holidays even when we were girls Of course the poor dear could never remember when it was actually Christmas and one Christmas morning She did the funniest thing What's that Mrs. Davis? What's what dear? What did Angela do? Angela Your sister my sister The absent-minded one, what did she do? I haven't spoken to Angela in some time She did not too That's what I'd like to know maybe I can refresh your memory Christmas morning Angela did the funniest thing Christmas morning isn't until tomorrow Connie Be confused. Well, don't worry about it. I only get these spells once in a while Well, you shouldn't let it go Connie if you don't mind my offering a little advice I'd like to suggest that you train your mind to concentrate more I'll do it. Mrs. Davis Now I've developed a little scheme which works wonders for me Supposing you have trouble remembering where you put things around the house Well, you just keep repeating the location to yourself for the sort of rhythm for example I just chant to myself the musters in the closet the bread is in the box The mustard in the closet the bread is in the box now isn't that simple mustard in the closet That's wonderful, Mrs. Davis if anybody wants a mustard sandwich, you're really ready Now before I do anything else I want to invite you to join me tonight join you yes dear I'm going over to Do Angela's house. That's right She's so cute with that little absent mind of hers Quite sometimes she forgets what she's talking about right in the middle of a sentence and oh dear me I hope that cat's got enough milk. Well, I'm sure if we But then maybe someday or if it doesn't seem to and that's why I can't join you tonight Thanks anyway, Mrs. Davis. I'll just spend a quiet evening at home here But how about mr. Boynton? Don't tell me he was too shy to ask you for a date on Christmas Eve Why do you think there's mistletoe on all four walls? No, mr. Boynton asked me all right, but then he canceled yesterday Said he's going upstate to visit his folks for a couple of days, but don't worry about me, Mrs. Davis I'll have a gay time. I'll listen to the radio read and from this window. I can see our neighbor's television antenna But what about the little gifts you've got for Walter Denton and mr. And Mrs. Conklin and Harriet when you're going to deliver them Oh, they told me not to bother. They said we'd exchange on the 26th the 26th But I don't think the day after Christmas is the time to exchange gifts. You don't you should see the department stores What's that Mrs. Davis, it's Minerva. Where are you dear? Oh, she's over by the tree Here over a Minerva Isn't it the strangest thing how she bites at the pine needles, I guess the rosin in them appeals to her I'd swear she likes the taste of it. I guess to her. It's like a Tom and Jerry or rather Raminie and Mickey Come on Minerva come on over here. We might as well get friendly. We're going to spend the evening together Well, I'll be running along now dear. I hope you won't feel too lonely Oh, I'll be fine. Mrs. Davis after all I do have an imagination I'll hang my stocking up in a little while and then when I'm pretending that I'm asleep. I'll sneak in and fill it Before you know it, it'll be midnight Midnight of Christmas Eve I can just picture it a short thin man in a black suit come sliding down the chimney with an empty bag St. Penelus the school teacher Santa Claus Well, at least you're not bitter Now Connie about my Sister Angela. Oh, thank you, dear about my sister Angela. Yeah. Good night, Dorothy Good night, Bernice.  Come on over here. There's a good kitty Now I'll just settle down and Mrs. Davis is rocker and we'll have ourselves a nice quiet rock I've got to exercise more my bones are rusting It's the rocker kind of soothing at that You seem contented enough Minerva To as the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse Sorry, I Didn't mean to upset you Minerva. Oh Gosh, I'm sleepy Now who can that be expecting anyone Minerva, that's funny. There's nobody here. I'm here. Where oh leaning on my knee What can I do for you? I'm a salesman, but I don't believe in giving any sales talk or sob stories All I do is tell you what I'm selling and if you want to buy okay, if not, okay, okay What are you selling?  I'll take six. Oh, no, ma'am. I'm selling Christmas trees Not only a dollar apiece, but I've already got a Christmas tree But I'll make a 50 cent but I don't need about a quarter look little boy payments can be arranged Please take one ma'am. These aren't ordinary trees, you know, they're magic magic. Yes, ma'am You'd be surprised what miracles will happen to you if you buy one Well, a quarter isn't too much to pay for a miracle. It's 50 cents. I Thought you said 25 that's when you sounded tougher to sell Well before I melt down down to my cold buttons and the stovepipe hat here's 50 cents Well, you won't be sorry ma'am here's the little tree. Hey, it is kind of cute at that Would you like to come in help me set it up? I can't I've got to get right home. My sitter has been alone long enough Sit her. What about your mother and the firewood? That's just a routine My folks are attending and did or the other bank presidents. I've given for father With a pitch you've got you'll have your own bank by the time you're 12 Thanks a lot good night lady and Merry Christmas. Same to you you little underprivileged millionaire I'll put this tree over here. Maybe we can find some extra trimmings for it in the morning Minerva will you stop gnawing on those pine needles? I wish I knew what made them so appetizing to her Now you come over here and let those things alone There we are Well, I guess I'm not the only one that's spending Christmas Eve alone without family or friends Who can tell maybe Santa Claus has something up his big red sleeve that I don't even know about yet Of course, I do have a squeaky rocker and Minerva Jingle bells jingle bells and merry stuff like that. Oh, what fun It is to rock with a big fat drunken cat As I sat in the living room Christmas Eve with Minerva the cat on my lap I couldn't help noticing that the tree which I'd bought from that wealthy urchin had a rather peculiar Luminosity, although there wasn't any artificial illumination It seemed to glow from deep down in its branches as I rocked back and forth. I started to get very drowsy Little boy said this tree was magic Minerva I Don't believe it either Still it is Christmas Eve and very strange things have happened Christmas Eve What's that? Oh, I must have been dozing come well, it's Walter Denton. Come in Walter. No, well, no, well joy you is no Come on into the living room here I brought you this little gift to put under your tree Oh, that was very thoughtful Walter put it under this tree over here. Okay Say you've got two trees, haven't you? Yes one for Minerva and one for me Don't pay any attention to her. She's pine-needle happy Well miss Brooks as you know I was supposed to spend the evening nestled snugly in the tight little confines of my own small immediate family circle Oh for heaven's sakes come out of there. You're giving me claustrophobia But I went to my father and mother and crowed their permission to come over wait a minute Walter you Crove their permission to yeah crave Craven Crove, isn't it? Walter of course not crave craved. Let's see Craven Craven After you crowed their permission what? Presence for a long enough while for me to deliver to you miss Brooks the little token of my esteem and affection Which is now ensconcing under the tree. Well, are you still in my English class? Well sure miss Brooks. Well, I'd better bone up a little one of us is gonna flunk this term Well, it isn't just the gift miss Brooks That's not the only thing that brought me way furring from the warmth and conviviality of my own heart Oh, please don't start that again I'm glad you dropped over Walter and if you want to spend the rest of the evening with your folks No rush with them. They've got my present under our tree already Now what I'd like to say miss Brooks though is something I've wanted to say for a long while Yes, Walter now it's a little on the sentimental side perhaps for a so-called HEP high school boy to be telling a teacher, but it's sincere miss Brooks. I'm sure it is It's something I feel deep down inside of me miss Brooks from whence so many of one's warmer emotions stem That's whence they stem from all right Of course, even if it does seem over sentimental or even downright sticky Christmas Eve seems to be the time that you can say things like this and not sound over sentimental or sticky Christmas Eve is the time to say them. I just hope I hear them by New Year's Eve What I want you to know miss Brooks is that I'm grateful for what Walter for my Association with you during the past semester at Madison High School. Well, thank you Walter. I've tried to be a capable teacher Oh your teaching was nothing I don't mean Scholastically no as a teacher you were very adequate I mean personally the interest you took in me and my problems for that I could never thank you if I lived to be a hundred of course you'd be gone a long time by then Merry Christmas to you too You don't know what it's meant to me to have your ear whenever I needed it. Oh, it was nothing really. I have another one Especially about girls Guys, you remember how silly I used to act about girls every time one of them looked at me I giggle like a kid and then overnight. I matured. I met the one woman who really mattered Harriet Conklin Certainly made something out of you You saw me through the difficult transition period of that a more as well While Harriet and I were adjusting to one another It was wonderful to be able to come down to you for advice miss Brooks It isn't every boy who has such an interest taken in him by some intelligent elderly person Give me back my ear. I can't hear you That's your ancient or anything gosh.  Were you expecting mr. Boynton tonight? Yes, Walter I was we were going for a wheelchair ride together He had to visit his folks upstate his folks gosh. They must be well along in years His father's over 50. They may shoot him next spring Look while you're here. You might as well pick up the little gift. I got for you Oh, but miss Brooks you shouldn't have where is it? I'm the tree on your right. It isn't much just a remembrance. Oh, I almost forgot. I can't open it yet Why not? Oh, you mean you want to put it under your tree at home and open it with your family? Oh, not exactly, but well, I'll get it later miss Brooks. Oh There they are now. I'll answer it there who are now We should have stayed home Christmas Eve Sides freezing out now. Oh good. Don't be so grouchy. Hello, miss Brooks. Merry Christmas Why it's mr. Mrs. Conklin and Harriet. How are you all? I'm cold. Oh That's too bad come here man over rub up against mr. Conklin What's that? What are you go away cat?  She's not that hungry. I Don't like cats. Why doesn't she go chase a mouse or something? You forget mr. Conklin. This is Christmas Eve. There isn't one stirring Hey, Harriet. Yes, Walter. There's a lot of mistletoe around this room. I know it's real pretty Oh good notice all the mistletoe in this room. What? Oh All that green stuff More often than not it makes me sneeze Come on. I was good. Let's see if it does. Oh now Martha. Don't embarrass me. It doesn't make you sneeze does it Harriet? I'm willing to find out Here's a nice wreath of it on this wall Yeah Well, here we are Yeah Here we are just conklin if it's all right with Harriet. It's all right with us. Oh come on, Walter. We're getting old Sweet Harriet, isn't that cute? Oh good. Come here dear. How about one for your faithful old wife? Well There's customary I guess Yeah, I'm under the stuff Yeah You see I I I I I told you Let's stop this romantic dribble and act like adult human beings Miss Brooks, I'd like to take advantage of this visit to inquire as to your plans for the coming years classwork Do you have your schedule all laid out? Well, frankly, mr. Conklin. I haven't had much chance to work on anything Haven't had much of a chance, but you've been away from school all week Your vacation started last monday. I know mr. Conklin, and that's what I took the week as I mean a vacation is something you go on when you get the opportunity to You don't work on it or during it unless even though I didn't actually go anywhere when my vacation came along I went on it or was on one usually And you wanted to be the head of the english department Please our good. This is no time to talk of school affairs We're here to spend part of our holiday with miss brook. It was very nice of you to think about me, mrs. Conklin It was nice of all of you Where are walter and harriott? Denden get my daughter away from that mistletoe at once. But mr. Conklin harriott is an allergic to mistletoe No, but i'm allergic to you Harriott's almost irresistible sometimes, especially alongside of older women like mrs. Conklin and miss brooks Saved by the bell i'll get it Why mr. Boyden come in. Oh, thanks miss brooks. I thought you were going upstate to see your folks Well, I was but they sent me a wire that they wanted to come down here for a week or so They'll arrive in the morning So I thought I'd drop this little gift off for you tonight. Oh, but you shouldn't of where is it? Let's just put it under the tree in the living room Look who's here everybody. Well, it's mr. Boyden. Hi there, mr. V. This is nice. Hello boyden Hello folks, this is beginning to get more like christmas eve every minute sit down mr. Boyden I'm certainly glad your folks decided to visit you instead of vice versa. Oh, so am I there's a particularly good reason why i'm glad There is Well, yes, it gives me a chance to see how my guinea pigs are affected by this cold snap So far they haven't reacted at all. What do you expect them to do blow on their paws? Miss brook, have you pointed out the mistletoe to mr. Boyden? Oh, why don't you stop that nonsense marker? If he isn't nonsense mr. Boyden look at the mistletoe Mistletoe. Oh, oh, yes a very interesting example of the flora found in various areas throughout the globe An evergreen parasitic shrub. It is indigenous to the regions where apple trees and oaks are bound Now that the lecture is over may we ask questions? Certainly miss brooks Want to stand under it? I Stand under it well You see because of certain characteristics in its makeup an allergy is sometimes aggravated by its presence I'll take a chance if you will come on. Mr. Boyden. Yeah, come on. Mr. Boyden. I just bring him over to this wall here I'll get under it if you like Well, don't just stand there. Can't you see miss brooks is cooking? Well, don't fuss for me. I couldn't eat a thing Mr. Boyden Don't you know what standing under the mistletoe signifies? I know what it signifies to most people, but to me it's just Well, there goes 85 cents worth of mistletoe Hey, I know what let's do. Let's open up the presents right now. Well splendid suggestion walter Shouldn't we wait until just before we leave might be less embarrassing that way Well, if you want to open them now golly this one tree is pretty crowded I'll put some of these packages under this little one over here. Look out walter. You're bumping into one of the branches. Look out Gosh, I got the funniest feeling when I touch that branch. What kind of a feeling walter.  Well, sure. I'm harriet conklin. What's the matter with you? Nothing nothing's a matter with me It's just that I want to tell you something Harriet, you've got to change you want to try to be more like miss brooks What do you mean walter if you want me to stay interested in you? You've got to be more alluring youthful glamorous Feminine in that real feline brooksway walter have you been drinking pine needles too? Look at that tree it it seems to be glowing. What do you mean glowing just a reflection from the street lights This party is giving me the me-me's Holiday is indeed here. I'll just move the tree where it won't glisten in our eyes. There we go Hi, mr. Conklin happy go lucky fun-loving gag a minute aus good Gag a minute aus good. Sometimes I've wanted to This brooks is that really you standing there? I think so mr. Conklin. Why do you ask? Because you suddenly look so different So intelligent This brooks.  Well, thank you fun-loving aus good I'm going to put this wonderful tree where it belongs right in the center of the room and give me a hand boy Oh, yes, sir. Mr. Conklin. I'll just take this hand here Miss brooks. Yes, mr. Boynham Come here, baby I said come here connie. You did not you said come here, baby, and I'm here Where did the mistletoe? Isn't it wonderful? Well, well, well, well, what are you going to do mr. Boynham? I just call me Phil connie And this is what i'm gonna do Beautiful dream. Where is everybody? Oh, I must have been dreaming Well, that's real enough. I'll be right there Oh, sorry manerve. I didn't mean to drop you But you all just left. Uh, I mean come in We thought it would be nice if we spent our christmas eve together miss brooks Yes, and we brought a few little gifts over for you. I'll just put them under this tree here Yes, do that walter aren't you going to ask me why I didn't go up state, miss brooks I know why mr. Boynham your folks are coming down to see you Well, how did you know about that? I just got the telegram Uh, don't let's get too carried away with the holidays to prepare for the hard school season ahead miss brooks Oh, let's not talk about school affairs now osgood walter Look at the mistletoe Yeah, look at it. Now just a minute before we go through all that again Would you please touch that tree mr. Boynton the one on the left with the Why it's gone. There's only one tree miss brooks. Are you all right? Of course. I'm all right Could I have dreamt that part too? Uh, mr. Boynton, would you do me a favor, please? Of course miss brooks. What is it? Would you touch the christmas tree touch it please it's important All right there Nothing happened. What did you expect? What happened? A miracle Oh, excuse me. I'll be right back Senator i'm so in magic christmas trees, but you just please buy one lady They only cost 50 cents a piece 50 cents. That's right. Here's two dollars. Give me four of them All over the studio here. There are happy signs of christmas bits of red and green Holly and some imaginative person even hung some mistletoe in the control room must remember to drop in there after the show But the christmas spirit is even more evident in the faces of our cast Together with our sponsor the colgate palm olive pete company makers of colgate dental cream Luster cream shampoo and palm olive shaving creams. We join in wishing you a merry christmas Yes, jeff chandler and gale gordon jane morgan virginia gordon dick crena gloria mcmillan jeffry silver Our writer director al lewis and our producer larry burns our conductor wilbur hatch and all the others on the armist brook show And we're gathered here to say may this be the most joyous of the holidays for all of you history liberally sprinkled with labs listen to mr.

We wish to continue with this conversation, but we can't end sports Friday discussion and arguments here. Salim Mozeri, Antriza Munyeki, many thanks for coming. We are going for Christmas. Munaenda usha, go amam kuna Nairobi. Alazi matanda usha, go. Salim, yo, Azazi, to relax kido, go. Salim, ya, I'm Muslim but I got to go home because I only get a chance to go to Western once in a year. So this might just be the moment. Yuh Christmas, in kwawe celebrated it a few days ago, for us Christians, if you allow us, let us this December celebrate our sales. Many thanks for being part of sports Friday for the whole year now. We'll be moving to the next year in the next one week or two weeks or so. Many thanks for having part of this program. We'll see you in the new year, Merry Christmas and Prosperous 2019. My name is Dereva Hillary. Have yourselves a good Christmas and Friday as well. Bye.


This is Dr. Rupali Sherke working as an associate professor at Wolchen Institute of Technology Sholapur. In this video lecture I am going to discuss on the High Frequency Limitations on the Conventional Tubes. Learning outcomes at the end of this session students are able to describe high frequency limitations of the conventional tubes. These are the contents which will be covered in this video. Now, before discussing with the limitations of the high frequency, let us first see what are the conventional tubes. Just recall what are the conventional tubes. A conventional tubes are nothing but a tubes which are operating at a frequency range in between 300 MHz to 3000 MHz frequency. Now these conventional tubes are nothing but a vacuum tubes. We are familiar with that vacuum tubes like triode, tetrodepentode. Nowadays we are not using these devices but still there are some devices which are using the principle of these devices like CRT tube or a television tube. Now this vacuum tube is nothing but it consists of a gas or some liquid in them. So we are calling it as a vacuum tube and this vacuum tube consists of a electrons which are flowing from cathode to anode. There is a electron heating gun across the cathode. The electrons are emitted from the cathodes and move towards the anode. Cathode is a negative potential and anode is at the positive potential. In some cases cathode, anode is also called as a plate. Now to control the flow of electrons there are one or more grid inserted in this. This is the equivalent circuit of the vacuum tube. Now these grids are used for the controlling actions. So these devices are called as a voltage control devices and they are usually used for the very high voltage and to generate the high power also. Now when you make use of these devices they are at a high frequency there comes a limitations. There comes which are known as a high frequency limitations because conventional tubes are useful only at a low frequencies that is we are already discussed the range between the 300 megahertz to 3000 megahertz. When you make use at the micro frequency that is in a gigahertz frequency range then there comes a limitations on them. That limitations are inter electrode capacitance effect, lead induction effect, transit time effect, gain bandwidth limitation effect due to the RF losses and effect due to the radiation losses. Let us see this in the detail. The first inter electrode capacitor which is abbreviated as IEC effect. Now you can see that the if in the equivalent circuit of this vacuum tube that is a cathode and anode there are the plates which are been or capacitors which are been at the connecting between the two plates. They are represent this equivalent circuit in which we represent the two plates are been connected through the capacitors and this capacitors are been abbreviated with the C between C k, G k which is between the grid and the cathode and the capacitor which is connected between the plate and cathode is a C pk and the plate which is the capacitor which is been connected between the grid and the plate is a C capacitor C pg. Now when you see that the behavior of this capacitors are measured by the reactants, reactants are nothing but a xc which is given by xc is equal to 1 upon 2 pi fc. Now when you see this equation this reactants where this reactants takes place, this takes place at the lead, lead of the plates, leads of the plates. So when you see this relation the frequency, as the frequency increases, as the frequency increases its reactants decreases because it is inversely proportional, it is inversely proportional to the change in the, now when you go for the high frequency its reactants goes on decreasing. As this reactants goes on decreasing this capacitor will not be this, the reactants goes on this capacitors will act like a short circuit in this case. So as it acts in the short circuit the output are going to be reduced. So to overcome this there is one solution to increase the size of the capacitor because as the size of the capacitor increases the reactants can increase but increasing the size of the capacitor is physically not possible. Now the second effect is a lead inductance that is a Li effect. Now this effect is also been observed at the lead positions because the inductors which are been represented they are represented at the, from between the lead and the plates. Now this inductors, these inductors are responsible for getting the outputs. Now when the output at the lead, when you measure the outputs we are measuring at the lead points. Now due to this inductors, due to this inductors the reactants of this inductor increases as the frequency increases. Now you can see by this relation xl is equal to 2 pi fc. Now as the frequency increases this reactants also increases. Now instead of the getting the output at the lead the maximum output is received at the inductor only. So as the frequency increases the output will be across the lead only. It will not be at, so automatically the output decreases. Now this is a, this due to this effect again at a high frequency there comes a limitations over here. Now the third effect is called as a transit time effect. This transit time effect, what is a transit time now before explaining. Now let us consider a low frequency signal. This is a low frequency signal now and this is a high frequency signal. Now you can compare these two waves. The first is a low frequency and second is a high frequency. Now the time taken, a time taken from the electron to move from anode, cathode to anode is called as a transit time that is measured by the term. Transit time is a time taken from, from for the electron to travel from cathode to anode. This transit time is given by tau, it depends on the T by V0 where V0 is a velocity, D is a distance between the cathode and the anode and it is mined by my tau. You can see in the waveform this much is suppose we are distance we are measuring. Now this distance, this tau time for the high frequency you can see that there are two cycles which are being covered. Now this is for low frequency and this is for the high frequency. And the high frequency when you consider for the high frequency then the cycle of passing of the waveform is double compared to the single wave. So what happens there will be a phase shift in the signal. Let us see that how this can be controlled. Now the electric static energy which is nothing but applied potential energy we can called as potential energy which is given by E V. V is nothing but applied voltage and the kinetic energy which is generated due to the potential energy is one half m V square where V0 is the velocity of the electron. At the equivalent or equilibrium position the kinetic potential energy is compared with the kinetic energy. If when you equate this equation then the equation for the velocity we are getting as a under root 2 E V by m, m is a mass of the electron. Now when you substitute the V0 at the time duration transit time equation it is d upon under root 2 E V by m. Now once you know the mass of the electron you know the electron because this are going to a constant value and d then and the applied voltage the transit time can be controlled. But at a high frequency when it is been observed at a low frequency this transit time is negligible. So the plate current and the grid voltage are in phase but at a high frequency they does not remain in the phase but they change by some angle theta which is known as a transit time effect. This phase change may cause the measurement of the in the measuring of the gain. The next effect is a gain bandwidth limitation. Now the gain bandwidth limitation is given by the product which is given by A max into bandwidth. What is this A max? A max is nothing but a gain which is multiplied with the bandwidth. The bandwidth the this product this product is always equal to the C. Now as you know the relation as bandwidth increases the bandwidth increases at the frequency as a frequency increases bandwidth increases. So this constant value may increase this may create an issue. Now this next effect is the effect due to the RA losses. As you know that the RA losses are specified as a R square I square R by R I square R which are nothing but a power equation which is affected on the power. Now at a high frequency if you at a high frequency when the current has a tendency to conflict itself towards the smaller cross section area of the conducting towards the surface. So as the conductivity of this is given by under root 2 by mu omega mu sigma. Now this conductivity is inversely proportional to the root of the frequency and it is always directly proportional to the A effect.  Now when you see this and the next is a radiation losses as you know that as the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength as the frequency increases its wavelength increases. As the wavelength the sorry wavelength decreases as the frequency increases wavelength decreases. If the wavelength of the signal is less than the surface then it start radiating. It will emit the radiation this radiation losses causes as the frequency increase because the wavelength is decreasing. These are the few limitations which are been discussed these are the references for the


Hey there foundation staff. This is dr. Sherman and welcome to dr. Sherman's office hours We once again have an evening of a little extra downtime between tests So I'll be watching the chat if you guys have scp related questions I am your instructor into the ways of the foundation. We can talk about anomalies We can talk about staff drama. See what everybody's up to In the meantime, how are you doing today? Welcome to the chat I am just now pulling up the scp database That way we have it on hand for any Articles you guys want me to do some research on Hello's and hi's to everyone who's joining Good to see you all let me head to the home page of the wiki. Well timed out. Don't like that There we go Got it Can you show us a picture of scp 096? Obviously, I could but will I will I? No, no Do I recognize the bodies in the water? Nope My CRV is perfectly high enough to stop me from having that issue at least for a time Dr. Sherman, what is your opinion on the scp red white and yellow journals? Dr. Moon aka 05 star. I think you're talking about the scp art books, right? Yes, I heard something about those they were involved in drama But then they were non dramatic after that Let me pull them up real quick so I can confirm What I believe the situation is that? the red yellow white journals were initially art projects for Andre Dixon the Russian person who? Trademarked scp in the Russian Federation so that they could shut down other Scp artists who were making their own stuff not even copying his just making their own and Obviously, that's no bueno for a creative writing community, which is why we had a big lawsuit over it But that drama hasn't come up in a while mainly because covid slowed everything down So I never heard exactly how that ended But the point isn't that the point is that while he was I think again, this is all allegedly The progenitor of the red white and yellow journals I believe that After a while the project was sold off to another publisher that was unrelated to him So that they could solve the books without having any problems So in that case if they are not giving money to the guy who did bad stuff to scp artists, then that's great But I have not seen the works themselves, so I don't know how quality they are Dr. House, thank you for your donation to the site 42 cause and the cordy sticker Dr. Swan good to see you today greetings. Dr. Sherman. I'm interested in your personal favorite proposal of scp zero zero one so I would have to say probably When day breaks is like second best to me. That's just a fun world In fact, I want to make a live-action film in the when day breaks universe where we use practical effects to do Cronenberg Style like melty people. I think that'd be really fun But my favorite is Lily's proposal the world gone beautiful Because that one is just it's so short and poignant It has a lot of feelings in it and it hits a lot of nerves in very little words And so it's very impressive as a no one Siren of Woodstock mobile task force unit epsilon 11 designated nine tailed foxes into the facility Well, hopefully they clear up whatever mess they're getting into ay-ay-ay But I'll tell you this the on-site nuke is not in To not in danger of being armed at least this time the last time it was armed we we all have a little bit of a We didn't die party after that cleared out And by the way with 136 people viewing only 44 likes it's time staff to catch those up catch up those likes Make it match the viewer count. That's how we do things here at site 42 The failed Dini. Thank you for your don't know. Good evening. Dr. Sherman. I'm just curious why aliens are so often considered anomalous That is a great question What is anomalous is a fantastic question for the foundation to ruminate on and it does in several articles because on one hand Sometimes an anomaly is just science that we haven't caught up to yet And so that's the case in a lot of the explained SCPs anything that's dash ex That is an explained anomaly that we discovered wasn't anomalous or maybe we caught up to the science or maybe there was some fraud Involved in the documentation so sometimes that's the case and other times it's a judgment call because Magic is a factor of the universe But the foundation has decided that it is anomalous Ergo it is off-limits and that's because it is not known To I guess a large enough amount of the general public for it to be considered normal So the paranormal ghosts magical that they exist and as far as we can tell they're a part of nature In fact, anomalies they exist and if they weren't made if they naturally develop that is natural So aliens they're from another world. Yes, but that's as natural as anything else. The real question is what does the foundation as a Fascist secret organization. What have they decided is normal? For their predetermined choice of what to hide and what to let free and so that's pretty much it It is the case of when you're the ones who decide what's normal and you are sorting What's on one side of the line or the other sometimes the distinctions get a little arbitrary? It's a great question the Faldini Very fun to answer and talk about that kind of stuff Catching up with the chat because we had a good amount of super chats one after another and the chat is going crazy. Oh my word Okay, quick don't know duplis 2004. Thank you for your don't know what scv6 a to find way out if he was put in 3008 yes, if you put 6 a to in the infinite Ikea The point is that the unkillable lizard or the hard to destroy lizard as it should be is nigh Invulnerable and that means most importantly that it's going to live for gosh darn forever And that means that no matter how infinite the infinite Ikea is it is a statistical fact that it will stumble upon the door at Some point now it may take decades. It may take eons, but it will find the door and it will get out and Especially because we can't research it. We can't do anything if it's locked in there running rampant We would not put it in there for that reason another good question good theoretical Cyberwood stock nine tail fox to control requesting beta nine has matters. We have an scp that is radioactive All right, let me Has matters What are they dealing with right now? Are they gonna have a problem with that? scp mass headers What are they up to right now? Are they available to be deployed? the mass headers Beta seven is currently working on No, they are free. So Yes, they will be deployed to your location shortly.  They turn themselves off. I see fixed it. All right, can I kiss scp 096? test denied with prejudice Have you ever died or been in a breach of the facility I? If I have died I was not informed and Yes, if you work at the foundation you've been in several breaches within your first year it just keeps happening and You know, that's not a failure on us by the way It is it these things are impossible to deal with a lesser Organization would be completely annihilated within a week. I guarantee you the foundation is not incompetent We're just dealing with incredible odds, and we're doing it with style and panache. I believe Andre C2 8 welcome to the chat. Do you know how scp foundation created scp 4 0 1 1? I will have to investigate to that anomaly and give me one moment That would be in series 5 4 0 1 1 is what you're asking about history is written by the victors See what we've got here parts of this document are not available at your clearance level. Oh, give me a break Victoria crater Provisional area lost Ups on 53 is monitoring the entrance It is Architecture symbols found through similar to those of a standard foundation site though materials used for construction appear to be of Martian origin Anomalous artificial intelligence system within So are you wondering how we created the site or how we created the anomalous artificial intelligence? Because both are interesting questions, although we have created a large amount of anomalous artificial intelligences So that's something we deal with very often All right, let's enter our level five credentials here and get on to the next addendum. That's the conversation Do we talk about how we made anything? do do threat level black for the information discovery NASA spread of the image three Portland's Accord Unknown foundation mark structure contact Constructed by the scp foundation construction began 18 but 53 8 to 12 Declared open Correlates with historic events indicates that this state corresponds to 1551 Oh three thirty Comprehensive historical archive of the scp foundation and subject peoples to maintain the security and sovereignty of the foundation K books files stuff revision archive Incident Exploration log 411-2 Temporal modification device I'm breezing through this since it's first super chat, but I want you all to know this looks like a pretty good article So you guys might enjoy it if you want to go read 4011 on your own But it looks like there's a mystery to all of us how this was built But we're still gonna have to wait till the future to figure out how Or the past as time and stuff like that happens to be Bear with a flamethrower. Thank you for your first don't know to the site 42 cause Hello from site 82 quick question. How do I deal with an indestructible reptile that wants to end all living beings that has been triggered by doctor? redacted since site 82 is having issues along those so I mean art the solution. I don't really like is acid bath It's always been acid bath Even though I think it should be able to adapt to the acid bath. It seems to work So I would go with acid bath first and foremost get back to me if it doesn't work Mouse oh nine if you lot met the doctor from doctor who what would you do?  It's on the site 42 black division but I can pull it up for our edification and Let you see how that went down So I will show that to you in just a moment when I find it And in the meantime, I'm going to answer this super chat that's almost disappeared So sorry woods doctor Sherman doctor Sherman to the administrator's office You're gonna have to wait until The next 15 minutes, that's what I'm gonna be able to get to the admin office But I will make my way there once office hours are done, but first I Need to oh Ex out of this. We don't need this Stop what you're doing doctor Sherman Space doctor who because I made this video so I just got to show you this video. It'll be great This is cool. It's like a react content to my own content. All right, so let me pause it when it starts Whoo, this is an old one. All right enjoy doctor Sherman trying to contain the doctor And We've been trying to contain the doctor for a very long time. We've actually captured it multiple times It's not that hard to lock in the box. The problem is there's always Out some sonic screwdriver someone on the outside someone on the inside it flirts its way out We've worked with the torchwood Institute. We've worked with unit. They're basically the global occult coalition anyways It was locked in two different pandora. There were two of them And it traveled back in time to release itself So yes, as you can tell we've put some thought in it We have contained it for a time in fact for very long times and then It got out It always gets out It is almost as frustrating as trying to get the tree to scream as a matter of fact It is almost that frustrating But not quite that frustrating All right, now that I've shown you that little blast from our past. Let's go back to our Wonderful music and head back to the chat Dr. Sherman, what was it with the scp foundation and some Russian hacker boys? I didn't really understand what happened So it wasn't all the Russian hacker boys. Okay, so that was a different thing but what happened is that It's not that the hackers went after scp wiki It's that the Russian hacker boys are the Alleged rusher hacker boys because again, I don't think I ever found out if it actually was Russians or not But what happened was they went after specifically wiki dot the main wiki site for Multiple fandoms including the scp foundation So wiki dot got taken down and then there was some drama after that Where did it really go down because of hackers? Was it really Russian hackers? I never really got a big Finish on what happened there summary wise, but can't hurt to hit Google and see if they Get us any more Interesting information on the subject scp All right, so wiki dot Hack do do do. I don't even remember when that was. I just remember it was down for like a week or something Come on come on wiki dot hit by hackers Yeah, this was a year ago in the last 24 hours hacking incident Hmm What would happen at 343 was put near the danger area of the gate guardian. We don't know because he won't go Uh, although if there is a tail where he did go on the wiki, I'd be interested in reading and hearing about it Yep, I cannot find Any update on the wiki dot hack Uh Oh, I do remember that because of abuse from The hackers that wiki dot decided to black out Russian access to wiki dot which means that the russian branch of scp couldn't do anything Uh russia and belarus got shut down but Here's what you need to know Okay hacked in 2022 Yeah, I don't have any final intel on what happened at the end of that Melodrama so unfortunately, I can't give you too much more of a fill-in than it happened And it got fixed and then I don't even know if russia was allowed back on to wiki dot afterwards I would assume not because it happened really shortly after the start of the war And ukraine and so I believe that While that's still going on. They probably haven't reinstated them or anything like that Above my pay grade is what I say above my pay grade Nova asks does being part of the scp foundation give you derealization?  It really makes you think that Nothing matters, but when nothing matters Everything matters and so you can find meaning in the meanlessness That is what we do at the foundation to stay sane Do your best And just to note we are less than 10 likes away from matching the viewer account So you haven't liked the stream yet site 42 staff. This is your moment to crest the gap You know watching the stream. I don't even know if the likes and the views are above my head like they are for You guys if they are for me, but I'm just guessing that's where they are for me So that's where I'm gonna point And if I look at the video playback later and I don't see anything above my head and it just looks like I'm waving at the clouds then I will be that old man who waves at the clouds Honeyberry I see your question about 106 I'm going to have to ask you to stop attempting to fraternize with the anomalies I'm also going to have to ask hr to stop hiring all these monster fuckers in demon daters to join the foundation And then they're gonna tell me no because they're the only people who will work for us anyways And I'll be annoyed and then we'll go back to business Can I wink at scp 173? Yes, but it will still probably kill you for breaking the rules of its game At least in one can and it just got annoyed and it's not the guy's neck anyways Can I join site 42?

Sherman. Is there an scp site in latin america? Also?  Of course. We have sites in latin america Although we of course have to deal with the various groups of anomalous interests in south america when we deal with or latin america latin america you said Oh, they're everywhere. So it doesn't matter where you ask. We're there Even that island that's like like 10 people and they don't let anyone on and they're like this Enclosed enclave that has been there forever and they kill everyone who comes to their island We've got surveillance there. They don't know we're there, but we're there Dr. Sherman isn't scp 999 technically classified as a baby Not to my knowledge um scp 999 I do not believe is classified as a baby but I will check my documentation real quick to be sure I think we says it has a puppy like intelligence baby Because I think we referred it to it as like a dog like Pala property rather than a human child But i'm pulling it up now large amorphous gelatinous mass weighing about 54 kilograms reminder 999 is not like this cute little thing. It is 120 pounds It is two meters wide and one meter tall. It is a lorge pupo It is not a tiny little baby baby Hydro pump hydrophobic although I can willfully absorb liquids temperament is best described as playful and dog-like scp 999 will often react with overwhelming elation slithering over the nearest person and leaping upon them hugging them So yes, we don't say it's a baby. We say it's a dog. Oh scp 999 is a very good dog. Oh A very good goo doggo And by the by we are in the last five minutes of this stream So any questions you're looking to get make sure if you're a member you're super chatting That's what we're doing because we are running down the thing Bear with a flamethrower. It has not worked scp 682 is loose on sub level 65 uh, huh, that's Yep 682 is on sub level 65 Well, they're they're way down there. They got plenty of time to get him. So i'm not i'm not worried in the least Other than that bear. Thanks for your don't know and good luck surviving Andresi 28 can scp 6000 spread to other fictional universes like lord of the rings harry potter, etc You know, I forget what scp 6000 is. It's been a while Let's have a look see look see We're loading. We're loading. We're dropping our pen on the floor Bah, all right, this is a rounderhouse joint overseer council director moose foundation records revision one revision two Man the database is running slow tonight Probably since 682 was on the loose at sub level 65 massive dimensional extrusion centered at degrees amazon rainforest brazil Largest class w transportation gateway locally known as way ever encountered by the foundation 19 kilometers from northeast southeast point Directly affected significantly larger and temporary security perimeter has been established Growing at an unstable rate presence of service effect on the plant life Semi aphidian organism Discovered with the exclusion zone during initial reconnaissance coming to a state surrounded by human corpses Kex based on reality with the extra national location known as the wanderers library So is it known to go anywhere else does it spread? I'm working my way down because it's a way to the library That's one thing but you asked about it spreading. Is it spreading? Open file, darn you initial encounters Wow, my Database is really chugging along today It's an unprovoked hostility remote location I wonder if it's because This has so much graphical things and wiki.can handle it Is it just a The internet or is it wiki.dot Let's go scp You know what? Let's go look at this Nope, even google's chugging Honestly, I'm surprised that my uh Camera is doing so well Oh, that would be because I'm not on the wi-fi that's in this location Okay, open open sealed envelope director moose Characters I saw characters. What are we doing here? Of course telling you what till you're at the end of the story kind of story You have a silver bullet to fix everything. Jailer. That's how it goes not going to roll over and die No, no one's died. Jailer weren't you missing serpent? You already knew in your heart what else could have been I have I think you banned all the rest of us.  I learned it as a little girl You know it now don't get picked your ending look at choose how you take it So the girl was you then yes, even I didn't realize until now the memories come back stories are bullshit stories are all there is Essentially should be flattered. Why in the world would I be flat? You left the library on your terms and you wouldn't admit it anyone see right in your face. You want to see it again Okay, so I do not see That it is spreading anywhere air go I don't think that would spread to other fictional universes But in the time I have left before my next operative shows up for training It looks like I will not be able to get to the bottom of this due to internet lagginess But I'm just going to go ahead and flip a coin and I'm going to say that Yes, if it is spreading Then from the wanderers library two other universes is definitely possible Because the scp wiki in the wanderers library are different Their sister sites, but they're not the same and that tells me that it's not the same fandom So it could go to other fandoms That is what I believe it could be Oh, and now it's doing choose your own adventure. How great So yes, that is my Winging it best I can do in a short format version But now that we are at the end of the stream and my next agent is showing up for education Make sure you like the stream on our way out so that big number go up YouTube likes that and gives us more credit for it.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Coast to Coast. My name is Lily Weinberg and I'm here joined by my colleague, Raul Moaz, the Miami program director from Knight Foundation. Hi, Raul, how are you? Hello, doing well yourself? Doing well. How's the family? How's everyone doing? Good, we had a really nice Christmas break where we kind of disconnected from everything. And then that first Zoom in January reminded us that we're very much still in COVID work from home mode. But thankfully, we're all good. You all up there? We're all good over here. And one of my New Year's resolution was actually to do a little bit less Zooms, to pick up the phone sometimes. So we'll see if that works. But listen, as you know, Coast to Coast, we started Knight Foundation talking about really the future of cities when COVID hit in March. And we've talked about all sorts of topics from the future of public spaces to mobility to technology and everything in between. And today I'm really excited to talk about entrepreneurship. We know that COVID has disrupted everything. And I see many articles, almost every day, Raul coming out about Miami and entrepreneurship. We go back and forth with this and kind of the mobility of talent. But I think there's a real question of how do we build an entrepreneurial community that's inclusive and accessible to all? And so I'm really excited about this topic. Would love for you to tee up what we're going to be talking about and who our special guests are. Absolutely. So thank you so much for the space, for always grabbing amazing folks to go into the nitty gritty and into the hard question. So I think today will be no different. We've got two amazing, incredibly accomplished people with us today. So the intro will be very short because we have a very short amount of time. I'm not naming all of our accomplishments nor roles, maybe just the headlines. But today we have with us Felicia Hatcher, who is the executive director and co-founder of the Center for Black Innovation, and Rosabeth Moss Cantor, who's the founding chair and director of Harvard University Advanced Leadership Initiative. And what we want to get into today is this question of how is it that communities across the country, especially in light of COVID and as they think about rebuilding and building forward, and can ensure that that building forward happens in a way where all can participate, right? So we're talking about building prosperous entrepreneurial ecosystems, prosperous entrepreneurial communities that meet people where they're at and give them the opportunities to build companies that improve livelihoods, that improve community well-being, and ultimately make them more resilient. And so Rosabeth, Felicia, thank you so much for being with us today. Hello, hello. So we wanted to kick off just with a general kind of challenge or prompt here. That is to say, when we think of the work that you all are doing and theories around how we can build inclusive and accessible entrepreneurial communities, oftentimes the conversations are maybe a little bit feel good or they're values-based, but we don't get into the nitty gritty of what are the real hard sticking points and what are the frameworks that we can use to measure against the values, measure against the progress we're making towards those values and those desired outcomes. So Rosabeth, probably we can start with you. Could you give us a context of your frameworks and you think of what do you measure for when you're looking at a community and asking whether it is working for all, especially in a startup community? And if you can maybe give us also a little bit on the fore end and how does that community can use that framework to measure their progress. Well, let me start with the fore end. And I also want to say thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. And I'm a particular fan of Felicia's work and I think this will be an exciting conversation. So the fore end are four things that you have to watch out for. And if we don't get them right, we're not going to be inclusive. The first end is numbers. And by numbers I mean how many people of a particular kind are in leadership circles or not. Because if we only have a few token entrepreneurs of color or of a different gender, that means women, then we're not going to break through particularly. Because if you're small in numbers, you have extra burdens to carry. You have to represent your group. You have to show up at every meeting or also won't be anybody from your group.  So we have to get rid of tokenism. What we need is balanced groups of people of many kinds together. And so any program needs to make sure that we don't just have a sprinkling of few tokens here and there. It just starts with that, it's fundamental. Second end is narratives. The narratives can't be deficit narratives. Oh, let's help those poor people. Let's give them an opportunity. They should be asset narratives that say they're people with talent and how are we going to put those people with talent together? So another thing every effort in this thing should do is to elevate the stature of people in underrepresented, less representative groups and show off their talents, not show off their complaints. I mean, let's vent if there needs to be venting, but not too much of it. The third end is networks. Networks are incredibly important. Networks are the way you access all the resources needed to build and grow a business. You access capital through networks, whether it's banks or venture capitalists, you've got to know the people. They have to know you access expertise through networks, and that might include mentors. But mentors have some limitations because it's really sponsorship that matters. You access through networks legitimacy, that you're at the table and therefore you're somebody to be reckoned with. And unless the networks are inclusive themselves and balanced, unfortunately, people can have support networks. They can even have a mentor, but it doesn't take them anywhere. They need networks that give them access to resources they wouldn't otherwise have. So networks have to be wide open to the world outside one's particular neighborhood or a particular group. And the fourth end is new institutions because one of the things that holds people back are the structures, the institutions that we have today. Like, how long is the commute from your part of the city to where the incubator happens to be? What kind of transportation is available? How about access to health care or childcare? How about even bike sharing? It turns out bike sharing is more prevalent in more affluent communities and not in communities of color. Interesting because that should be an easy one. Marketing platforms. I mean, they're a woman entrepreneur in my area who is building a marketing platform for businesses of people of color. Where do those exist and is the narrative positive? Will we get them in enough numbers and will that help build networks? That's the challenge. Which is a founding executive director and of the Center for Black Innovation, which is new-ish, but it's a long time coming. She's also a past, long time, and recent night grantee for that work. Felicia, could you give us some history, some background on the work you've been doing over the last decade that led to the creation of the institution that is the Center for Black Innovation? And what it is that in terms of market positioning, what is that the Center for Black Innovation is aiming to do? What gap is it filling in the institutional landscape or continuum to Roosevelt's point of their being institutions that meet folks where they're at? Right, right. I'm excited to be having this conversation with you guys. Center for Black Innovation is a rebrand to the work that we've been doing for the past six years. And so largely people are familiar with Code Fever and also Black Tech Week. All of our work for the past six years has really been around ridding black communities from being innovation deserts. And so most of us are really familiar with what food deserts are, right? People having to travel miles, often time to get access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Well, the same thing was happening from an access point, largely this conversation, right? Access for entrepreneurship, for tech professionals, for businesses and our small businesses overall, but specifically as it relates to black communities being able to be active participants and financial beneficiaries of the innovation economy. And so the rebrand as a name really just came from having kind of clarity to the work that we've been doing for the past six years, but then also really being able to take that forward, right? And so some of the things that Roosevelt mentioned was around data and networks, right? And knowing that there's a huge disconnect and a huge gap for entrepreneurs period, but then when you're talking about technology, entrepreneurs, that gap is even wider, right? And so for us, it's really, we are largely a think tank now, so really tackling the research component in an area in a way that we have not seen anyone do that responsibly from an asset framing standpoint as opposed to a deficit deficit framing standpoint or another disparity study, right? And then the other part of that is black innovation, ecosystem building organization, and our understanding is that smart cities and communities are formed by cultivating great leaders, great entrepreneurs and real capital pathways that value black culture and communities as a greatest asset. And so when we talk about media and what that can do to drastically increase the social capital to get more eyeballs on entrepreneurs, specifically with those that can accelerate what they're doing, we don't see responsible storytelling of black entrepreneurs in that way. And so pushing the needle forward with that, but then also giving them the right kind of data to do better storytelling is one big aspect of our think tank in center for black innovation, right? The other part about networks. Networks are important, we always hear people say, you're what your network is your net worth, but if your network or the networks are hard to access or hard to penetrate, it doesn't mean anything for you. And we have so many people that are building, kind of have their head down, building really great companies and solutions that don't have a network or disconnected or are largely not trusted by their cities. And so the introductions aren't happening. And that's what we've been doing over the past four years with VC and residents is giving entrepreneurs largely their first connection point to a VC where our organization can make that warm introduction for them and then hold that relationship accountable. So it's not this thing where they kind of ghost the entrepreneur, but they actually help them do what they said that they're going to do and better position them. And then aside from that is creating better capital pathways for black entrepreneurs through that program through an angel investor accreditation program that we're adding to that and then just space in general, right? So we have a 10,000 square foot space in the historic overtown area of Miami that is a beacon for entrepreneurship and innovation and is literally the only center for black innovation across the board. So Felicia, you've hit on a couple of things. I'd love to get to kind of the nitty gritty that the hard truths, the uncomfortable truths sometimes that then you get overlooked. A lot of communities, a lot of individuals are seeking to live out their values of building inclusive accessible entrepreneurial communities. But that journey is not going to happen overnight. It's not going to happen even in a couple of years, right? It's a long, long journey. And there's going to be pitfalls and kind of road bumps along the way. Could you highlight for us maybe two or three of the most common kind of pitfalls, common missteps or ways that folks kind of veer off the path and kind of distractions, if you will, that don't let them kind of get to where we want to get to. And Roosevelt, afterwards, I love your reaction to what Felicia shares as well. Yeah, I mean, and we've had a lot of conversations around this over the years, Raul. I think that the first part of that is actually doing an honest assessment of your city. You know, what is the marketing shiny stuff? And then what are the real realities and prior to the beginning of 2020 was a whole other conversation where we were still trying to map out the best resources to move things forward, being able to measure that and then duplicate that, and then COVID happened.  And so whatever we were trying to do before then has now further been exacerbated by COVID. And so one is definitely having an honest assessment. And then two, I think it's really looking at the sheer amount of resources that are needed in order to start even beginning to tackle systematic like generational trauma in those communities, distress in those communities, and then like a lack of resources. And so I'm always gonna center about like, let's have real conversations about where we are, move away the marketability of what we need to do sometimes into our sell things so that we can actually start having conversations on what are the right type of resources that are needed specific to every city that we are talking about. And there is no one-size-fit all around that. And Amen. Rosabeth, your thoughts? So I think very wise thoughts, and I think that the institutional structural problems have to be tackled somehow. First of all, there are people who would like to start and grow businesses, they may enroll in courses, they can get training. On the other hand, they also have to hold a job. They have family responsibilities, they have impossible commutes. So unless there are enough social supports and it looks like the current, the new administration in Washington is thinking about those social supports, you're not going to be able to get it. So what you have is more people dropping out of community college programs where they would be getting skills and they would be getting contacts because they don't have the social supports around them. And then I just want to underscore the network and connections problem again, that there are incredibly savvy black, for example, business people, and they are not in the social circles with all the bankers in town. They start to be, but it stops at a certain point. And again, partly that's residential patterns. So we have to situate the incubators, for example, in places that are equally accessible to affluent and left behind populations. That's incredibly important. And we have to, so that's gonna make sure that they're inclusive. I know that in Miami, there's one that's doing green tech and it's located in a heavily black area. So it's a, but it's green tech, which is a very hot field. So it's attracting people to that incubator in a black neighborhood because of the theme green tech. So I think that black and brown communities have to have resources and assets to offer other people, rather than only being the recipients of help. So maybe grants, so that they get to give out the money to somebody else. I mean, if you want to see somebody that's your rise in an organization or a community, let them control the budget. So that's, so we're two things I'd like to do. One, I'd like to remind folks who are participating with either by Facebook, YouTube, live through here, Twitter, we have a kind of a Q and A kind of elements. So feel free to drop in questions. If you have a question for Felicia or Roosevelt, feel free to drop it in. And can you all hear me all right? Yeah. Perfect, just making sure. We're testing out a new system, folks. I appreciate you all bearing with us. And then the second thing I wanted to do is kind of then kind of flip this a bit and discuss opportunities. It's been a cluster of a year, challenging on so many levels for so many different reasons. That has also unlocked opportunity. Are there silver linings or are there genuine opportunities, systemic opportunities that you're seeing in communities? That was the best touch on the national level, but I kind of want to bring it back to the local level because these commitments have to happen locally, as Felicia mentioned, really being honest about what's happening in our places. Where's the opportunity today? And where are we seeing kind of things that give us hope or optimism for there being more access, more inclusion, more equity in the outcomes of entrepreneurial communities?  That is supposedly tech, if we get rid of biased algorithms, tech is color neutral. And if you have great tech, you can sell it lots of places if you get access and many people would like you to get access. So that's tech. Child care is a huge problem. And it's why women are dropping out of the labor force. I think women and women of color are probably the hardest hit. And that's not around entrepreneurship. That's in general because of being in search about broadband connections into homes. And we have to do a lot of reinventing of things. Now that reinvention, including how we deliver healthcare, neighborhood, clinic, barber shops and hair salons should be delivering some basic services, health services. Those are opportunities. If you think entrepreneurial and you reinvent where and how, imagine if every barber shop and every hair salon could take blood pressure into a system, we would solve a health problem and we would provide more income and more opportunities for the people that own those neighborhood businesses. Yeah, I think we're seeing some opportunities that have come out of COVID or silver linings if we're able to talk about silver linings. One was the heavy adoption and accelerated better understanding of the utility of technology for those that are not in the technology field. We saw that in a way that, I think, largely that conversation, that activity had been swept under the rug. We felt like we were at a level where we were okay. And we realized that we had a huge infrastructure problem. But in those moments, you get more solution-driven entrepreneurs out of that. And so I think given e-commerce became really huge. Not that it wasn't a big thing anyways prior to, but the reliance on e-commerce in order to get products and services, the kind of insurgent of black entrepreneurs that were using platforms like Shopify without having the heavy technology skills in order to get their product to the market, essentially to people really fast with something that we've seen grow dramatically over the past year. I mean, even if you talk about kind of the food and in tech scene, right? And so people kind of laugh at like trap kitchens, which are largely just people cooking out of their homes and selling plates or selling whatever the product is on Instagram. Well, actually a lot of our big established food businesses did not understand that utility, right? Or did not have that kind of understanding from a marketing or logistics standpoint that quite frankly, a lot of black and brown businesses did understand that because they were running these businesses largely underground as side hustles and they were actually ahead of the game in March, February, March, April, May, the beginning of the pandemic. And so what other resources do they need to further grow that because they have a better understanding of how to quickly kind of pivot and utilize digital in a way that some of our larger organizations and corporations just did not? We've also seen growth in like health and beauty, which is a high growth area, low entry point for black businesses specifically around female entrepreneurs that actually did not dip under the past year. People were still taking care of themselves but getting them directly to the consumer was something that we saw strengthened in this past pandemic. And then I think just people starting businesses that are micro businesses really to either help them because they lost their job during the pandemic or to just kind of give themselves the safety net financially just in case something does happen. I think we saw people getting really creative but I think we always see that kind of moment happen in major economic downturns or instability. But I think we've seen in a lot of ways the black community had been affected but in a lot of ways we've seen kind of this insurgent of creativity in businesses that I hope will be here to stay and kind of help us get back to recovering from that 40% dip in black entrepreneurship, businesses that have closed. So I think that it's absolutely true that a lot of creativity comes out of that and we hope those businesses are sustainable but it's hard for them to be sustained when they're really small by themselves then they're vulnerable to every downturn every change. So what we need is more partnerships and on the one hand, the fact that we're working remotely we can talk like this coast to coast means that you can connect people on the other hand, you can't do the face to face making a relationship. So we need more collaborations. We need to have those small neighborhood beauty and health businesses for example connected with others in their city and beyond their city because then they have marketing clout then they can like cooperatives. I mean, some of our food in America still comes from farmers cooperatives where small farmers band together in a cooperative for marketing ocean spray, cranberries and blueberries and other things is a cooperative. So we need more cooperatives. Capitalism needs cooperatives. Yeah. No, I definitely agree. I think kind of measuring this like what are the actual collaborations that makes sense. We're doing collaboration from intention. I think that we throw around very easily the term as ecosystem builders like everyone needs to collaborate. Well, no, what does that collaboration look like? What are the outcomes of that collaboration so that we don't just have outputs and we feel like we're doing something but when we look at the hard numbers we have actually not moved anything forward and we saw that under 2020 of the pandemic and the social justice unrest. Like we saw that, right? And so for us with Center for Black Innovation like we're measuring that, right? Like our framework of how you measure the health of a black tech and startup an entrepreneurial ecosystem comes out next week, right? And so looking at 13 key areas in which not only are we scoring Miami as our first city but like you hopefully other people in other cities use that exact same framework so that they understand where the gaps are and then be very intentional about like what the collaborations, what their resources are, what funding is needed. Cause I don't think we ever get really granular in that aspect when we're talking about communities.  As it relates to how they are largely affected when these kinds of things happen. And so looking at like measuring density, and fluidity and kind of like actual connectivity, you know, what does culture actually look like in the city when we say like specifically in Miami, like everyone for the past six weeks has been talking about how diverse our city is. And then you see an article come out about like, you know, welcome to Miami and here are all the places. It did not list like one black community as a community that you should live in if you're looking to relocate to Miami. It did not list one black restaurant that you could frequent. And we have some really amazing high growth black restaurant that are here. It didn't list one black neighborhood, one black museum, one black author that you should read to get a better understanding of Miami. And so when we're talking about, you know, inclusive innovation and we're talking about communities, but when we market our cities, we're literally not like almost kind of erasing what 17% of the population and 17% of what your lived experience should be or how you should contribute or just like go about the city, like that's a problem because those are missed marketing opportunities for those businesses that could be strengthened by either just that commerce or those investments. And so looking at, you know, talent, of course, mentorship, infrastructure and investment, really the regulatory environment here, not just in South Florida, but throughout the state and then incubator and accelerator and spaces. We have 13 targeted urban areas here in Miami. We have four co-working spaces that exist in black neighborhoods. I actually think only three. And so when we're talking about even all the activity of the past, what, six weeks on Twitter, we're only talking about the city of Miami. We're not talking about the county. And so if you're not talking about the county and bringing those resources or those VCs to concentrate on the county, you're actually not talking about the black community at all because the majority do not live in the city. And so when we're talking about mobility and then of course how everyone measures the start of their ecosystem by the workforce generation of that and then like exits, like we have to have a much broader conversation how we measure things so that we know where to align and put resources. But I think that was beautifully said. Tons of folks commenting. So I don't know if you can see it on your screen there. You got a ton of love coming your way. We're coming up on time, which is crazy. These things always fly by. You hit on something. You hit the cold kind of flu analogy and that there's a question that had to come in at that center on trust. And actually we're gonna go a little deeper into public health here. But basically the asset question, how can businesses promote trust, especially as it relates to kind of COVID vaccination we're in particularly black communities, communities of color, there's a lack of trust or mistrust or distrust around that. So really hot takes quick 30 second hot takes Rosa and Felicia on how businesses can build trust in communities that don't have it as it pertains to our current context of COVID. Ask the community and listen to them. I think it only goes partway to show the vice president of the United States getting the COVID vaccine or another person of color getting the COVID vaccine. Okay, that's not me. You have to ask the community. You have to get trusted opinion leaders in the community to tell you what the barriers are and then work with them. It's their voices that matter. I'm working with an organization in Chicago, a huge collaboration serving 550,000 people in largely black and brown areas and having the community at the table as an equal partner and letting them lead is really important. Yeah, we'll quickly just second what Rosebeth said, right? And so it is definitely asking the community. I think it's also, you know, when we're talking about distrust of the COVID vaccine, everyone immediately points to Henrietta Lacks or the Tuskegee experiment that have happened decades ago, right? But what we're not talking about is the day-to-day experience of black people in the healthcare system today, right? Like there's mistrust that's happening today. And so the fact that doctors and healthcare professionals aren't giving black people pain medication because they feel like they don't experience pain. Like these are real studies and real experiences that are happening today.  Like these things are real realities today. And so it's not to be like forget about Tuskegee and to forget about Henrietta Lacks. We're asking you forget about your experience last week at the doctor's office. And so it has to start there of fixing that. I think it also has to start with a more equitable, like marketing around this as well, which we have not seen really addressing those pain points other than just kind of forget about this thing, trust us in this moment where you have kind of been, not have the best experience in the most recent time. So I definitely say starting there. Rosa, thank you both so much. Thank you. Thank you for so sorry to cut you off. Thank you both so much for the real talk, the hard truths, the optimism, inspiration, the orientation of what we should be thinking of and looking to as we think about building better, more prosperous equitable communities. I want to acknowledge a couple of things. One, you both are amazing individuals. I highly encourage our viewers and our participants in our audience to check you out. Your social tags are there. You can Google as well and you'll find more about the work that Dr. Kendra leads at Harvard and the work that Felicia leads through Center for Black Innovation. Also, I want to thank you for bearing with us in any technical issues we might have had as we test out this new system. My colleague, Lily Weinberg, who I think had some glitches as well. So thank you for that. And lastly, before we break for the afternoon, we'll be back February 25th. So we're doing these once a month and going into the issues that are shaping our communities today. And so we hope to see you again February 25th. We'll announce kind of the topic and our guests in short order. We hope you'll be part of the conversation that really is about living in the moment, taking the long view and building more engaged, better prosperous communities across the country. Thank you so much for the time. Hope to see you all soon. Take care.
