So, we'll get underway, we gave you a mix of announcements earlier, and we'll list the heightened section in session, having just now had to cancel, but we'll do a bit of Robert with us, so we'll get underway just in a minute or two, and we can take a wee bit more time to discuss it again, but we'll give it out, give it out for some Bruce, we've never had an iron brew, what would you call it, the Scottish Delicacy? Should you take that? No, no, no, it's not a bad thing, it's just like a drink, it's a soft drink, it's not making me drink, but it's flavour with that. So, just think of it as a kind of Scottish delicacies. Do you want that? Yes, when it swipes it is huge. Do you try and pronounce? Yes, but they will have any programme that I can use. So, I'm not trying to say anything. Do you want to use that on yourself? Yes. I'll just do it in the same way. You have to do this. I'll do it like a movie. Yes. I'll do it like a movie. We'll get involved in that. We'll get involved. We'll do it once. We don't share the word. I've got to give it out. I have to ask you. I'll show you that. I'll do it. I'll do it. Okay, hello everyone, thank you for coming along, my name is Rock, I've been involved in variants of authentication of research projects and I'm part of the business community of GEN, which we go to last year. Today, I'm going to talk about on-call systems and network actualising and education planning projects under the Erasmus Plus strand. And the idea of many on-call is, first of all, it's a network that supports up to 8.5 and also supports up to 6.5. That's very important. So, we do long-handedly to different groups, then sharing information, but probably, for the developers, to support these roles, it is, for the partners, we've really got a mix of business and institutions. And organizations, also some technology, some infrastructure, and so on. And so, for this project, such as the partners, and several hundred people have published my networks and meetings as well. You can just see, as well as what I was talking about, ideas for ecosysteming, perspectives on education. And the whole idea behind this on-call bus is, to take the OER situation in Europe at the level of an ecosystem. How is it all explained? How is it all set in each other when you change one thing? You've got five key challenges around the outside. And there really is a lack of coordination in a way that I regard as implementing across Europe as a whole. So that's sort of fragmented stakeholder groups, lack of consistency in the strategy between different countries. And a big thing to look at, as well, is how successfully is the OER position being shared to outside education? It's a business, it's not a strategy.  It's actually quite hard to find anyone who can do it. That's why I didn't want to turn this around. So I'm going to go on. I'm later looking at the slides, really, but most of what I was doing is saying that we're talking about, I think, about what's the relationship to the what about this in the next slide? At one level, innovation is kind of about powering people to do things differently than they've done before. So it's up to the ways that OER can be done. Things like lowering the cost of education, increasing the risk of nonformal opportunities, extending the education to a certain level of access, supporting diverse inclusion, more generally, because I guess we're talking about barriers to collaboration between different stable types, and in the institutions between which OERs are so developed and need for information to be in the countries. Do you sometimes say the same sort of things? Why that's interesting about your education? I suppose the same for America, it's a great deal of linguistic and cultural diversity by comparison, the same sort of area. So it's some of these things, that is our next question, but why that expiring condition? You know, it's very necessary to translate that well. So just a word around kind of innovation as a concept relating to OER. In a separate standard work, to the one I'm talking about today, myself and some colleagues at the University have been doing that and have a big structure of you, and looking for drivers, barriers, challenges in the neighbourhoods, all relating to innovation and so on. And what you find if you go and sort of look systematically a bit of literature is there's an ambiguity where people talk about OER innovation. So a lot of the time, people just talk about OER as the innovation. So this is number one, these two definitions. And so people will say, hey, OER is the innovation, it's connected to its behaviour. And it's true in the sense that compared to traditional approaches, traditional pedagogy, starting to use OER, even if you're doing nothing differently, except you've got open devices, resources, that's the innovation. Okay, fair enough, that's true. But there's also a different sense of OER innovation, which in a way is the one that's a bit more interesting, which is how people use OER to support downstream innovation behaviour. Those two things are conflating, you're trying to find literature. And so people tag it to keyword and say, innovation, just they're just using OER, which if you're familiar with OER, it's like, okay, I'm not blowing, right, you're using OER. But if you're not familiar with OER at all, that is an innovation. So sometimes it's useful to be aware of that sort of site ambiguity with innovation. So some of the areas where you might find innovation happening, I mean, I would say it's kind of, I mean, it's not really the resources themselves, and it's just not going to get out from small information, like information one. And so some of these things are to do with voice editing, training rather than teaching. And these are sort of areas that are going to be quite interesting. I mean, I might be over many of the questions that people are currently about in practices. And this is, you know, if you're from England, you can kind of plan strategic objectives, if you're from England, if you're from the United States. There's a lot of interest in the ways that OER can support these bigger societal changes. But it's actually quite hard to find concrete examples. You step outside of the OER meetings, quite hard to find people knowing how to do things with it, consciously moving that direction. So one of the things that we're trying to do below, we're doing OER, it's kind of free-fold. So one thing is we're trying to come up with a systematic way to understand how innovation works with OER and how you can evaluate it. So this is really about getting the concepts right, about innovation. It's a kind of script. It's one kind of script. So this is innovation. It's often a value judgment, right? But you say this is an innovative practice, or this is a kind of, you know, a significant new change or something like that. It also is necessarily the best innovations that we've got the most while we're in the fight. What we're about to remember is that it's an accident. It's an accident. It's an accident. It's just what's going on in the name. So in complex, it's the way to evaluate the system. Probably one of the things that we're talking about is the sort of conception work that's been done to try and sort of create some categories that you can understand this time. So coming off the back of that, we're developing a framework for evaluating which is OER, which shows innovation. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take you through these two things together. I'm sure we'll use them a bit so the framework and talking about the concepts behind that. The third sort of part of this is the difference research using those concepts, using those questions. We have some case studies that I know is all about some of the past that are emerging from that. So it's kind of three things for the price of art. It's kind of some things. Um, what was that? It was a time of science for me. Basically, music, which is the future of innovation, should make you free. Fast, fast, fast. Yes, essentializing innovation itself. Talking about OER itself, how people choose OER, obviously that's massively by the SAMR framework. I'll sort of put more of that in a second. But when it comes to thinking about, you know, most of the resources that are a bit available to sort of theorizing around this stuff come from business studies and they're normally framed in the language of competition. So innovation, what's the point of innovation? It's the thing that lets you beat your competitors because you're one step ahead of that. You've got the slightly better technology, slightly better practice. So a lot of the language, the resources of innovation come from that kind of sector. So one underlying question here is, is that the right thing to be talking about? When we often don't have the size to be open, here's the more collaborative aspects, rather than, you know, we're all fighting against each other, which is the kind of classic business studies. And I've also got a business model of typology for me, which I'm sharing with you today. This is really the size of the existing ones that go by. Thanks for rationalizing some of these things. I'm a bit aware of the importance around stakeholder models. And I do try to find a generally yet simple stakeholder model along that meant, right, where it's just like a universal thing for stakeholders. And so the one that we've been using here is called sometimes the UTC, which stands for users providers, for instance, governments, or customers providers, and it's a slightly obscure list, but I've had those used, because of what I've had these things to do with them. So I was thinking of some of the aspects that we've found around and I know it's a slightly, also what we're able to build in the cells and then compare with what they study together in the same module. So I'm also going to be releasing stuff, what should you place?  So I was going to start off by thinking about which audience we should rest in the place, or if you're trying to do any of these challenges, what do you create all of this? And then the next section is based on a classic thing from business studies, which is Miles and Snow, 1917, Respectors and Defenders. And if you are familiar with that, which myself, I've talked a lot about some of it, but I guess it was about five years ago. It was also based on some idea of Miles and Snow. So here, through the set of binaries, say to people, okay, here's what you're offering, as we're making a lot of service, something that is, you know, cross people, right, it's basically, you know, shouldn't you see the core questions of, maybe one of them, are you offering something that way, or is there a response to that? And so each of these binaries, which was highly, actually basically a very traditional idea for self-reliance, self-care, so different, it's comfortable, it's your own history, traditional. So if we teach each of our people a binary, I think you can see the aspects of it in this one, so I'm not going to say this at the moment. So this is a lot of different ideas into a small thing. So far, I've been able to, I haven't found anything that challenges everything that's in some way. If you know something that doesn't fit in here, I'll just tell you quickly what these things are. So externally funded, you might get money from philanthropy, you might get a grant from New York Foundation for instance, you might get money from the government, or you might basically offer a route to advertising to your learners, so commercially money is coming from outside, but it's not that you're not necessarily setting the data, it's more like the base of the model, and you're sort of offering a route in to advertise. Eternally funded, you might get money from your institution, you might be given the choice if you say, well, if you say money somewhere else, yeah, you can have some money to spend on where we are, why not? There's also the worth of the pays model, it's not popular, it's basically pay for itself. But a lot of the time, this, you know, no one's really saying, yeah, we're doing this, but if you think about it in time rather than money, loads of people do this. You can contrast these with more sort of community-based approaches where stakeholders kind of own the structure, that's what keeps it going. And then you have what we call service models, and some of these are kind of like moves, that kind of thing, or you might have something free, this is like open line, but you've got some content free, people like it, they might carry on, and then you start charging them, and you offer various services, or you offer a way for, you know, you sell the data that you collect, and you really, for instance, so these are different ways of thinking about business models. If I was a skeptic, which I am, and a peddler, which I am, I might say, these are actually great, but new models. They're not true business models, because they're not conserving costs, they're not really conserving, but these are coming to you. Probably am I just saying, we should practice people on the combined as well, that would be too complicated to take up, it's starting to be, which is the most important thing. I've also asked about what kind of pedagogy we could use in terms of cultures. Do you have a big list of technologies that have been used so far? I do also have other people that are on the pedagogy as well, just want to say, you know, is it closest to this or closest to that? So I mentioned the SAMR framework, it's really hard to find a really concise way, to talk about all the different ways that people use OER. But finding this to be a fairly useful one. So the SAMR framework is a model of technology for acceptance. So basically any educational technology that we can use in the classroom, you can understand it, going through these steps. It would say to people, are you basically substituting OER for commercial content? You could be doing that, but with a few tweaks, with a few changes, you could have a significant redesign of what we're doing, based on the value that we are. Or you can completely reconceal how you're using, how you're teaching, for instance. Now you think about something like text books. You know, at one level, yeah, you can just do a straight swap, and have stuff where there's some stuff online to support it, or, you know, maybe do a little bit of tweaking or reading scenes. You could have that taken to another level. But then you can start thinking why would you use text books at all, right? It can be a route into reconcealing how you're doing. So it does that quite nicely onto lots of different ways that you could use them. State order route. So I'm going to give all the pieces on the board, so I can then talk about saving my lunch in the information. So this is the way that we've been developing our state order model on board. The U-Pit model. So users, these are the people who teach OER. Providers, provide OER. Influences kind of affect the discourse around OER and kind of what people actually end up doing.  Imagine if you could have asked me to find an issue or an attitude about it. But we do say, like, if people are using the framework themselves, you don't have to use these categories. You could build your own state order listing and use that instead. But it's just to give the equal thing. So then cross asking people, for these different state order aspirates, what is your value for this issue today? And what is the impact it's having? And I guess it's why are they matching up? Like, are you really delivering the thing that you say you could hold people? And similarly, so this is the future of innovations, stuff I mentioned before. You can say, okay, for these different groups, what are you really offering them? Where is the point where you say, this is why it's relevant to you? So these are the five categories that, in Rogers, are used to sort of explain why some innovations, you know, doggies, others don't. So thinking about just the needs of that system, that's the things that say, okay, that's something I'm supposed to do. And I mean, there's barriers and enablers that people, you know, say, dense by their own pattern. So these are just the categories that it fits into. But even imagine it's quite a broad range of things that can be. And the answer to this is just to say, okay, I am into all that stuff. So I was going to do some of that, but I was going to do Wendy, so I'm going to place these on the side of that sort of problem. So that's the sort of rough outline of what framework is going to be involved. So I did learn the case studies. So first of all, thank you to those who took the time to give you some things. So that was pretty essential for me.  So we've got a spread of organizations where somewhere, now just providing to a few dozen people, maybe in at the last round, up to millions of users every month and people in the last year or so. So again, you can see some of the options. This way, you can see there's a mix of different things, different size organizations, some new projects, some local things. Where are they representing? And yeah, basically some of the other stuff. So also, I'm sorry, three last dictation. So what's coming out of the survey? Some of this stuff I did genuinely is quite interesting. So to give you a sense of what's in the data set. So we asked people, what kind of, how would you describe your operation? Are you more like a project? Are you more like an institution? So I want one business only. Projects and initiatives are kind of time-bound, right? They're not ongoing forever. They have an end date. Most of the people said other, but basically profit. So they weren't sure where they're going. You can see here, like, international is the most common focus for the people that are passing. But we do have pretty good spray across the others as well. And really how long they've been going for. You can see, like, for the internationally focused people, about half of them would be known for more than five years, which is significant. I wouldn't expect that necessarily. But yeah, quite a bit of spray across the different, you know, kind of barriers that people could have been going for. So this is where you get into the more interesting stuff. So we asked people, which is your main kind of OER implementation? This is the SAMR, that's brilliant. And we also asked them, what's your business model? Which is it closest to? And so what you can see is, for substitution, it's much more common to be in this institutional context. Brilliant. So you're already using the textbook, and then you're moving to the open version. It's the kind of classic example. But then as you move down into more kind of, what we might say is more innovative use of OER, you also see more diverse business models emerging as well. And for people who thought that really what we're doing is kind of redefining the way that we teach people, you're seeing some, you know, so much more of the examples of how they see their sustainability work in the future as well. And you can sort of understand this as a kind of progression in a way. This is the temptation, right? As people become more experimental in their pedagogy and they're using OER in kind of different ways, they're also becoming a bit more experimental with their business model. You maybe they're forced into these things, right? Well, I think that's interesting, but sort of bounce off this. If you're familiar with Garwish, paper from a few years ago, this is a good idea of edu-prinertia. And it's not that easy to read, it's quite a detailed table. But basically it says, you know, as you use content in different ways, your revenue models also change. And they become more complex or more kind of distributed or decentralized in these kind of things. And it moves away from, you know, kind of here's some content. And more into the direction of we're connected to lots of different things, including the job marketplace and, you know, there'll be a sort of coherent system for the way information is shared between them. So this kind of gives some support to Garwish's model. Because what we see is as we move through the, you know, she's first of all saying, I'm assuming that these can be mapped, right? So static content, interactive content, dynamic content, transformative content, saying can be mapped to substitution, implementation, verification, and definition. That's an assumption I might have. But if you go after that, you get partial support for the idea that Garwish puts forward, which is that as you move into more kind of interactive content, more kind of inhibitive ways of presenting content, you're also moving to more inhibitive ways of understanding how your revenue faces. So that's the challenges that you face, specifically Garwish. And the sort of answer, I'm assuming, is that you've narrowed to what's being involved in this. Do you think you could say it's tiring at the sort of same thing, right? You know, like on my edits, people just don't know what we're doing. That stops us from doing what we want to do. That's just an issue. Changing culture, practice, is a barrier. There's a temptation here, I think, some people might have sort of thought we were asking about in general, what are your challenges, or in general, what's stopping you. You did ask in terms of innovation, these are the answers people gave. There wasn't much to do with the situation before, the skills to learn, and so I'm sure it's just my question was a separate answer. You could also, I just thought, the size of the institution, so the size of the focus, so what they're trying to do, they're trying to agree. And again, you can see there's not that much difference based on this. It's mainly money, awareness, and pressure, changing people's culture and practices. So I think you're going to have this one quite a few choices here. This is the results that we have on the asking. And so, being in the yellow is prospector. That's considered the more innovative approach, whereas green, the fender, is the more traditional approach. And so these are now ranked, according to which were the ones where people thought they were most prospectors. And so people thought it's really about our competitive advantage. That's where we're innovating. That's where our focus is when we're trying to invent something. Secondly, the value chain. So we've got the value proposition people are making. Moving down to communication channels, sustainability networks, so on. Down at the bottom, the target group shows the highest portion of defender attitudes. What this means to me is they're still focusing the traditional learn. It's not like they're still trying to break into some new idea of who should be learning and who should be using early on. This is my interpretation. This is quite interesting because you're trying to compete in new ways that you think the same audience is. So that's a remarkable finding. I should say that for sustainability, this was the one where I think probably 12 or 13 people gave no data for sustainability benefits. So I guess they couldn't really know if they were more of a prospector or a defender. But I think it's interesting in conjunction with previous slide about challenges. Where budgets can finance with the number one challenge. And so challenging, they didn't even know what their approach was to sustain the goods, maybe. And so you can appreciate that this is just the top level breakdown of this stuff. When you start connecting with different variables, it's an interesting task. No, we're still in the process of putting that together. So we ask people, the barriers of the neighbors, what's enabling you to innovate. Maybe surprising. I've been sourced off by a number of them. And I guess it's the kind of thing that it's a little bit invisible. You shouldn't really think about it. You know, it's like, don't really think about it. How does my computer work? How does this server run? But this is what people say. They also said leadership was a very important maybe in fact. And I say, you should be pointed out, people completing the survey kind of the leaders of their organizations. So it may be a little bit of bias in there. But it's still interesting. And the idea of personal characteristics driving things. So not necessarily a strategy, but more like individual creativity, individual drive, that kind of thing. And evidence, yeah, important, maybe not the most important thing. And so on. So yeah, you can see for yourself, there's a range of stuff here. And I think the interesting thing is going to be relating these to the different plans to the other answers, to see what kind of configurations emerge. So we also have a lot of questions about people's organizational functions. This is something science and history has really got to work back. And we'll be honest with you guys.  Okay, be gracious to the model. Be gracious to the function. We are writers. Be gracious. I'll start with R and R and so on. He's a very part of our activity to be innovative. We're not quite the same as this, but this is where the bias is. Bias is the most. And again, these are things that, in the innovation sort of literature, people recommend some of these things. Using KPIs to track innovation behaviors. Not that popular. Management assistance, which I don't want to do that. It's not cool, right? It's not fun to have a KPI for innovation. You might have more of a kind of like, we're doing something cool, we're creating, we're being innovative. But also, again, that idea that personal drive and personal leadership seems to be a more important factor and a system for innovation or a system for managing. Just a couple more slides to show you a bit. So what you do, put all this stuff together around the stakeholder group. You can get some nice combinations.  So you can say to people, what's your value proposition to each of these? Frontiers beyond minds, design. What's your value proposition for each of these? What impact are you having for each of these groups? And where is your focus with vast and sort of diffusion of innovations? How do you do this? So that somehow this, this, and this all line up nicely. So this is one of the things the framework is intending to do, is helping people about this. So what else I said is, you know, we can put together this, stranding from that kind of thing.  So basically say, these are the most important aspects of each party. So that's important. And there's not a massive difference between them, right? So I think we need to do a bit more work on this again in terms of the granularity of it. We also ask people, are you achieving what you want to achieve? I think we're going to publish that in a case study. It'll be interesting to see how people suggest or knows that question, how they saw this, how they saw, you know, the impact of what they were doing. So what I was going to do from the case study that I was showing is trying to find, based on the data from the case study. So four qualities. First of all, transformative, focused mostly on the M and R, the SA and R. So less on substitution and more radical redefinition. We can see what's going on. A practical, in a sense, targeted, merely deduces and providers less to influences in governments. Making it observable, observable, observable, simple and capacity. These are the ones that can cross the most important infrastructure. But also this idea that there's an ongoing interest in expanding the offer beyond just necessarily where you start with the use of providers and making it more of a kind of strategic than expanding that to a wider audience. So I think it's just quite interesting to start with. Yeah, I was saying before, like, it's a very, very important to inspire a lot of people to be able to see the information so I'm just very interested in trying to join some people just to have some kind of a better understanding of what's going on. Right, it's quite a hard thing to get a grip on. So, for the coming publications, the innovation work's going to be on call. So the thing that I've been talking about today, the innovation framework, this will have a kind of blank form, if you like, for people to fit in themselves. But also all of the case studies as well. So the idea is you can compare your own responses with the responses in the main data set. And we'll also have a bit of commentary in there about the results and everything. I mentioned the desk research report we're doing. That's a long, long bit of work. It's quite a complex bit of work but we're getting there. So the idea again could be to kind of have these sort of generalized understandings of what are the challenges around innovation, what are the barriers, how do you overcome them. And so from the case studies, we're also going to do some more developed cases and there'll be a showcase for our innovation if you're coming out later in the project. So thank you for your attention. The BOTCORP project does have some of the best outcomes of three world-wide integration and it's very big. The best is in deciding what's also going to be the best of the project. So we're at a five-percent sort of an event worth a seven. So I encourage you to check out the website of this BOTCORP on most of the board that you're going to have. If not, we're at an organization to see what's happening. So it's BOTCORP project. Thank you very much. Thank you. This is going to be the second presentation session. Take whatever questions you have and then you probably still finish me there already for a bunch. And I think it's this general set of questions. Thank you so much for the presentation. Robert, I have a question that is embedded with a commentary and it's around the concept of innovation. It's part of my research and I was wondering how you approach to the concept of social innovation because sometimes innovation can be focused on technology, appropriation and business models as you said about competitiveness and this can be intentioned with part of the openness and the movement of what is education about. For instance, social innovations can be a little bit more nuanced. It's a theoretical approach to education as a phenomenon as it might allow to understand innovation not on the technological part and the appropriation part which leads, for example, to the appropriation of some are a sort of framework to measure innovation but rather towards the social aspects that enable both transformation in the structures which has part of what openness is about. In my own practice, I have approach and I made a mistake as a practitioner of OER to approach innovation in the tech way through my non-profit organizations and I know that it can be like an innovation that is not impactful because it's focused on content and technology rather in the social practices that under being a long lasting change. So my question is around the extension between innovation and social innovation and to know why have you opted for this kind of surprise or the other one. Yeah, thanks. It's a fairly interesting time. So I have allowed so far some of these problems to do. So it's a series for the image agenda which is around supporting rates of investment which are largely a sort of transition between innovation and it's really a response to find ways to to to to re-order processes that are very obvious that are very obvious that are very obvious So that's a simple answer to my side of the side of that my side of this is the other side of the side of the way of enforcing the way which we're making. So my interest in that is to see what actually as well as this might, you know might be iterations and so one thing that I found which I I'm spawning up against this reaction is pretty well, you know which one basically which you follow no no I'm just I think it's just another one um power one it's a sort of a position where you know your education and you know you can re-order online with the sponsors because the sponsors are just not talking to you know what you just think about and it's um not the the sponsors but it's it's it's it's it's not about it's it's especially if you're on by this is facilitating right it's just going on it's it's outside as you know sure so that's about how I think I've such a information stuff that hasn't reached a million before that just rising by this as you say and um you know this is a whole lot about now it's it's I'm trying to sense it's it's just not what you're saying it's to you about um I'd like to talk about it for sure sure thanks this is impressive and it's going to to change a lot of things um and we have a special uh piece of work associated with which you you don't only evaluate and describe what's happening with the landscape before you are but also you actually provide a framework for those system organisations who want to take full of their own roots because I see there is um you know it's very focused it's very important to understand the landscape then you have provide something for those who want to start doing things how many of these have next are we probably threw up framework for the future making the presentation and then the other question is open something whether or about this yeah it about this about three percent percent so um we so here we are on some focus on some that there's some people there basically basically they're basically stars right they don't they don't they don't just trying to be understand what's going on can't understand it where's the money coming so that's really I'm actually a little bit off of people when I say about cabs is there um but it's just high on the point so what happens next because you know if I want to make my my my my balance a lot of time is something like that so it's just where you can start um so often it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not I can't be I'm you know workshop you know I'm I play I play kind of I can't just so yeah I think um some way my my my my my cause with so so this is exactly the same we do it's free about the paid money it's not often worthy and it's that measure some people don't it's not often it's really what all the considerations is what it's gonna get the background get it's not So I find it's a useful response, people say they can't understand how can they kind of work, how we are, where's the money coming from, so we're open source software, it's exactly that. It works exactly the same principle, you can still be really aware of it. So I find it quite useful from that point of view, because it's massively successful. I'm not going to deny these successful practices. I'm sure that fits. Yeah, no, no, no. There's another question over here. Yes, Rob, thank you for your presentation. At the beginning of the presentation, you presented two types of the output. Kind of an intermediate OER innovation OER. So that's the OER type one was adoption. Two was the use OER as a driver as a tool for other innovations. And isn't that the second one is actually contributing to the adoption? Yeah, quite possibly. It's really just something that it's all noted when we're doing the literature. It's just searching for papers where the key word is innovation and OER. But you're getting a lot of stuff where it's just, we're a college in North America and we adopted OER and that's an innovation that you cross. I'm not just sort of disagreeing with it, but it's different. So we're using OER and it's really transforming the way that we're approaching things. So it's just trying to sort of separate out those two things. But I think it's important being to be aware of anyone who goes off and starts Googling OER innovation. You might just get stuff where it's like we would open OER. Yeah, but maybe the focus for the OER community to widen the doctrine of OER should be more on this second phase. I think it's the more interesting one actually. Yeah, but also appealing to for instance decision makers. For instance, when you say OER can contribute to the question of flexibility of education for them, that's on the mind. Yeah, and it's a little bit of a shame that the test research was happening in parallel with the survey. So it wasn't that we had all the concepts worked out first. But I think you're right in the sense that for the substitution, people with an interest in the substitution and implementation, maybe they are more interested in innovation at one. But the people who are more interested in policy makers, that kind of thing, maybe number two is the more interesting process. So yeah, that's an interesting book. Thank you. I think we'll get on to 22. So I think we'll probably do it. It's my colleague's opportunity to demonstrate that. You're allowed to shake. Yeah. But thank Rob for my statement. It's fantastic. Thank you very much. Then it's a long break now until two in the next session. It's time for lunch.

Member statements. I recognize the member for Toronto-St. Pauls. Perez Lopez died by suicide at the age of 16 this year. He was a child in my community. He loved his family, his friends, guitar, books, dinosaurs, science club at the ROM, and he loved music. He earned his second degree black belt by the time he was 12. He was happy. At home learning war saw all down. He began to fall academically in classes he loved, and when he was in school none of his friends were in his cohort. Isolation, loneliness, anxiety, loss of routine, missed milestones, and a growing sense of doom and gloom captured him. Our local hospitals have seen unprecedented spikes during the pandemic in kids' mental health crises and attempts at self-harm. Sadly some are successful. Government listening to science, telling families the full story last year, and delivering families a solid safe schools plan might have meant a different ending for Sao'ol this year. I'm going to end with the lyrics from a song called Tears of a Clown by Iron Maiden, one of Sao'ol's favourite bands. The song was dedicated to renowned actor Robin Williams and Sao'ol's parents Marcella and Sao'ol Sr. dedicated it to their son, their only child. All looks well on the outside, underneath the solemn truth. There's something that Sao'ol has died. Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes, but the cloud remains the same. Wonder why he's feeling down. Tears up the clown. Marcella is watching this morning. Marcella, I'm very sorry for your loss. Thank you very much. Member statements? The Member for Mississauga Centre. Thank you, Speaker. I'm thrilled to share with this House news of a major Métis project in North Bay, the Métis Nation of Ontario Legacy Preservation Project. This project will create the first ever Métis Times capsule, preserving Métis culture, history and way of life for generations to come. Monsieur le Président. Mr. Speaker, our hearts are broken with the discovery of 215 children that are in a farm or residential school in Kamloops. So initiatives such as this one are even more important to protect and help cultures, histories of the First Nations. The Métis Nation was formed in 1943 by Tony Baku, with a vision to have an organisation that's independent, to have more self-determination for the Métis of Ontario. During his presidency, he fought to recognise the Métis people and their rights. The MNO-Ontario Framework Agreement was signed, recognising the unique history and way of life for Métis people in Ontario. Since then, MNO has continued to advance Métis rights with governments, including the historic 2019 signing of the self-government agreement between Canada and MNO. The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the time capsule will be on November 16th of this year, which commemorates the annual recognition of Louis Riel Day. This gives us all an opportunity to learn more about the Métis community, culture and citizens. Merci, thank you. Thank you very much. Member Statements, the member for Niagara Falls. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I rise today to discuss an ongoing issue facing our community in Niagara, MRI wait times. For several years, we've been waiting with its governments to ensure Niagara received adequate funding to ensure the people in our community can receive an MRI in a reasonable timeframe. Under the previous government, we were successful in passing a motion, ultimately securing funding to drastically reduce the wait times. Unfortunately, Niagara is facing the same problem again. Right now, only 6% of Niagara residents, as compared to 46% of Ontario residents, have received their MRI within the provincial benchmark of 28 days. The current wait times for MRIs in Niagara is 255 days. Provincial average is 114. There are currently 5,000 Niagara residents waiting for MRIs at Niagara Health. Fortunately, through the hard work of Niagara Health Foundation, general support of Tom Rankin, a Rankin construction, Niagara Health was able to secure a new MRI machine. This is wonderful news for our community and further example of community-minded nature of many Niagara businesses like Rankin. While this is great news, we know that Niagara Health will need the necessary funding to ensure they can run 16 hours per day, 7 days a week to help ease the backlog of cases. We are calling on this government to approve the request of annual funding, reduce our wait times, and ensure the people of Niagara have quality health care. No one in Niagara, anywhere in this province, should be waiting 255 days for an MRI. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. The next member's statement, the member for Burlington. Speaker, in June, the Northern Hemisphere celebrates the summer solstice, the day with the most hours of light. The summer solstice serves as a reminder that we all have infinite opportunities every day to bring light into the lives of those around us. In celebrating Pride Month and the vital role of two SLGBTQ plus communities in our province, we can also reflect on our continued commitment and responsibility to create a more inclusive environment. Speaker, when we hear about symbols of pride being stolen, vandalized, or not being displayed, we know that we still have a long way to go. June is also National Indigenous History Month, a time to honour and celebrate the traditions, heritage, and culture of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Ontario and Canada. This year, as we reflect on the strengths and resiliency of Canada's Indigenous people, we also honour the 215 Indigenous children who lost their lives at the former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. Speaker, we can honour these children and their families by committing to the calls for action outlined in the 2015 report by the Federal Government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. And as Ontario's Minister of Indigenous Affairs and earlier this week, we can also support the investigation of former residential school grounds here in Ontario. June is a month of celebration and light, and many opportunities to help make things so much better. Thank you, Speaker. Member for York South West. Thank you, Mr Speaker. I'm honoured today to rise and give voice to the York South West Youth Council. These young leaders have been deeply engaged in amplifying the voices of youth in our community. The Council has recently focused on education and mental health-related issues. The Youth Council is very concerned with youth unemployment and are calling on the renewal of Canada Emergency Student Benefit. The Council states that my coat as a summer inches closer and also continues to primarily provide loans to students whose work opportunities continue to either be cancelled or few in number due to lockdowns and public health measures. The lack of support has left many students having to choose between their education and their wellbeing. A renewal of CESP programme can support students during these extremely percussive times and could help prevent them from facing unstable housing, food insecurity and dropping out of education. The long-time costs related to these struggles will be much greater to our students, our community and to Canadian society. I thank the York South West Youth Council for their continued hard work and input and encourage other members to form their own Youth Council and help empower young people and amplify their voices. Thank you, Mr Speaker. Thank you. The next Member's statement, the Member for York Centre. Thank you, Speaker. As we rise for the summer, I'd like to speak directly to Ontarians. I know how hard it is for so many of you. With everyone's mental health and peril, business closed, towns and cities are dying. I hear from so many of you and I feel you so much. So I invite you to think and focus for a minute. In the dark days of fall and winter, we didn't know what the world was going to look like. We couldn't speak or express skepticism about what the government was doing or what the experts were saying on TV. We had so much fears about the future of our democracy. But now our voices are heard loud and clear and we're pushing back and we will not allow for freedoms to be eroded. And we'll peacefully defend our children, our lives and livelihoods because we're smarter and kinder. The people who work in this chamber, they're afraid of us right now. They're afraid of you. Because a year from now, if you choose so, you'll get to fire all of them. But here's what's important right now. It's not just about coming out of lockdown. It's the terms by which we come out of lockdown and open Ontario.  If other countries and provinces can do it, then so can we. And we will not negotiate. We must demand that our way of life is restored and full. They're scrambling right now in this building because they already pushed them back. Now we have to insist on how this ends. A full return to normal is non-negotiable, and so the future is bright because we'll accept nothing less. Thank you. The next member's statement, the member for Mississauga East Cooksville. Thank you, Speaker. For months now, Ontario has been calling on the federal government to secure our borders against emerging variants of concern. Our requests have fallen on deaf ears as the Prime Minister and his caucus refused to acknowledge the serious matter. Earlier this week, the St. Catherine's Standard reported, and I quote, province-wide in recent days, the B-1617 variant has been found in 322 cases, up from 45 a few weeks ago. Speaker, the B-1617 variant is the one currently ravaging India with tens of thousands dead and a healthcare system on the brink of collapse. Obviously, Speaker, these variants cannot swim, nor do they have wings to fly. The Prime Minister of Canada has failed this province and all Canadians by not securing our borders against these deadly variants of COVID-19. The last thing Ontario needs right now is a fourth wave to set back all the progress we all have made collectively this year. I encourage everyone to reach out to their federal representatives and call for securing our borders now before it is too late. Thank you, Speaker. Member for York Centre will come to order. The next Member's statement, the Member for Parkdale High Park. Thank you, Speaker. My child's in grade one, but she essentially has missed grade one. Such an important year. The teachers have done an incredible job, and we as parents have done our best while juggling our own jobs. But it's not the same. For such a formative year, it's a huge loss with lasting impact. And so many parents feel the same way about their children. That's what this past school year has been. And now we're near the end of the school year. All I'm thinking is, we cannot repeat this mess. We must get it right to the next school year. So things need to start now. The planning, the consultations, the upgrades to ventilation systems. Everything needs to happen now so that come September, schools can reopen safely. For the past year, this government has made announcements that give people zero information or clarity, or said one thing one day and the complete opposite the next. Like right now, first you say schools will reopen before the economy, and now it's reopened economy before the schools, and yet we still don't know what's really on your mind. This government seems to be unable to make decisions. Yes, decisions have consequences, but not making decisions also has consequences, and the consequences of your inability to lead and provide leadership have cost us. Not just in dollars, but in terms of people's present and future. The Conservatives love to brand themselves as business people, executives making decisions effectively, efficiently. While judging by what's going on right now, it's clearly a myth. You have time now, three months, an entire quarter, until the next school year. So come quarter and you better have something to show for it. Or you would have missed your quarter. And when you miss again and again, you get fired. Member statements. The Member for Eglinton Lawrence. Thank you, Speaker. June is ALS Awareness Month in Canada. MEO Trophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS, is a terminal disease of progressive paralysis that eventually leads to the loss of the ability to move, speak, and breathe. This disease can move with startling swiftness.  Over time, as the brain's connection with the muscles of the body breaks down, someone living with ALS will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, swallow, and eventually breathe. There is no cure for ALS and few treatment options available for the 1,000 Ontarians living with this devastating disease. On June 20, supporters of the ALS Society of Canada will rally together for the virtual Walk to End ALS in communities across Ontario. The Walk to End ALS helps raise the funds to enable people living with ALS to access services that lessen the burden of the disease and that ensure a strong pipeline of funding for Canadian ALS research. I want to extend my best wishes to the ALS community across Ontario participating in the June ALS Awareness Month and the Walk to End ALS, and I encourage everyone to learn more about the disease and to sign up for the Walk at www.als.ca or Walk to End ALS.ca. Thank you very much, Speaker. Thank you. The next Member's Statement, the Member for Mississauga, Markham. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week, my heart ached at reading the newspaper headline, 66-year-old senselessly killed during gas and dash theft in drumbo near Woodstock. Ms. Speaker, Stephen Madison was a loving father, grandfather and an outstanding citizen. Should this incident have happened in BC or Alberta, Mr. Speaker, this manslaughter could have been avoided. These provinces have gone ahead and made the payment of gas mandatory and have since then seen practically zero cases of gas and dash thefts. My bill 231 passed with unanimous consent in the House is advocating to make prepayment of gas mandatory so we can avoid similar tragedies going forward. We have received support letters from the Police Services, PAO, Police Services Boards, Rabba Fine Foods, Ontario Convenience Stores Association, Husky, Hasty Market, 7-Eleven and many more. Mr. Speaker, this incident unfortunately shows us that this is not an issue just in the urban areas. This is an issue that affects all Ontarians. So I want to say thank you to all of my colleagues for your support. Let me repeat, the death of Stephen Madigan was completely unavoidable. The time for action is now, so I implore all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to keep working together to ensure to bring safety and security for fellow Ontarians. Let's make prepayment a reality and say goodbye to such headlines forever. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. That concludes our member's statements for this morning. I beg to inform the House that we have laid upon the table the individual member's expenditures for the fiscal year 2020-2021. Member for Brampton East has informed me that he has a point of order that he wishes to raise, and I at least recognize him. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to call for the unanimous consent of this House to observe a moment of silence to remember the countless six who were murdered by the Indian government in the June 1984 sick genocide, lest we forget. Member for Brampton East is seeking unanimous consent of the House for a moment's silence to observe and remember the victims of the sick genocide from 1984. Agreed? Agreed. Members will please rise. Thank you very much. Members will please take their seats.


You know, going low carb, keto or carnivore is not just about weight loss. Hey there, njrew22.com with another low carb, keto, carnivore chat. And today it's just a, I guess kind of like a milestone or something that everybody who does low carb, keto, carnivore will eventually encounter and whether you should talk about weight anymore. Now losing pounds of gravitational force as they say is one of the markers that you can use for tracking your progress and the other two most important ones in my opinion other than how you feel and how you look or how your clothes fit and your actual body fat percentage which you can probably figure out without a scale. You can use that, the belt test to figure that out because the numbers should never depress you. Like if you get down to 200 and you're there for like six months and all of a sudden you're at 210 or 208, remember your weight fluctuates probably up to 10 pounds a day. So try to weigh yourself at the exact same time every day, you know, because weighing yourself in the morning or in the mid afternoon after lunch or dinner, you're going to be disappointed. The point is always pick, the morning is good for me because that's usually the lowest, but so, you know, if you plateau and you don't know why you're plateauing and there's no other measurements or if you're not paying attention, like for me it's the belt. I can tell when I mean I have five or five notches and it's easy and if the weight goes up even as much as seven to ten pounds and your belt is somehow getting looser, maybe your belt is cheap and it's just stretching, I don't know, no. But you can tell that the clothes aren't getting tighter and even though your weight goes up there's probably a good reason and that's why you should probably invest in a semi-decent body fat scale.  We lost, I think, it was over the course of six months. I stayed the same way and I was starting to get a little bummed and I didn't pay attention to the number on the scale until like, I hate to say it, I have an app. No, I actually didn't do it on the app, I take that back. You can log into their website and there's a chart you can manage. So I looked on the chart and I'm like, wow, my body fat percentage has been going steadily down even though the weight has sort of plateaued and so I did the math and it ended up being even though my weight stayed the same or even up a pound or two, I lost between eight and 10 pounds of body fat while the weight stayed the same which means my lean body mass went up. So that's something to don't get hung up especially if you've been doing the low carb keto carnivore for a long time and you're feeling good. The weight becomes much less of an issue over time. So what? I remember when I first did it and my weight went up, let's say I hit a milestone for argument sake. Let's say you were like 200 pounds your whole life and you wanted to get down to 150 and you broke 150 and you were like 147, 148 and then like a month later or two months later you're like 158, 159 and some people would get heartbroken and they'd be like, all that progress and I lost but if you still feel good and the clothes fit, you shouldn't really worry about it because your body does go through changes and the fluid has a lot to do with it.  You should also be honest with yourself in terms of what you've been eating. If you notice the spike and it coincides with stuff like this ruby red beer that I've been drinking, even though it's only three grams of carbs, that may play a temporary role and once you kick the beer to the curb, your weight will stabilize and go back down again. I think these wheat based beers sometimes throw me off for two weeks or more. So that's it. Don't worry about the weight. The weight is just one of many and that's that. It's how you feel and just carry on. Please subscribe if you like the video. Hit the bell if you want to get notified. We do three videos a week and that's it for njroute22.com. Have a nice day.


I'm the only one that really want it Need to think about it. Okay, give me another objection What don't have time Don't have time need to think about it. Those are the two we're gonna play with right now You ready to play with those yeah, so listen so number one I want to say something to everybody and by the way, everybody do me a favor just like I said yesterday Give us your mind because this is the time right now where we want to grow now Listen, I want everybody to understand something. Okay, the logic of sales is obviously to know your industry. Does that make sense? Look, I need to think about it is different for a setter. I need to think about it is different for a closer I need to think about it is different the automotive industry. I need to think about it is different industry And insurance it's different in every industry so your goal is to know your industry does that make sense Okay, so like we can say I need to think about it There's not one like I said well, of course you need to think about it Sam and then I go into overcoming it But I need to know my industry and I need to know where I'm at am I in the presentation stage where I'm closing Am I in the advancing the stage and I'm at a setter point right now? And I need to set an appointment so a closer can come in and set let's say we're sitting at the kitchen table and You're selling give me a product You're selling solar All right, I am customer We are like he went through the wholesale and he's like, you know, there's this cool thing It's 30 grand 50 bucks a month or whatever it comes to and then I'm like, you know, it all sounds great Randy, I just need to think about it. Yeah, so listen anytime You're sitting at the kitchen table number one when somebody says I need to think about it Usually what they're saying is any more information am I correct? You think that people are uninterested in saving money You think that people are uninterested in being inflation proof You think people are uninterested in signing a contract that's good for them contracts are good as long as they play in your favor. Would you agree? There's a car sitting in your driveway right now. You probably have it financed for 60 or 72 months, right? There's an end date on the payment. Would you agree? Would you drove the car from the car lot and drove it put it in your driveway if you'd have had to pay the payment forever? Yes or no So contracts are good. They just need to play in your favor today You're in an unspoken contract, which means whatever the utility company wants to charge you for your utility You have to pay it am I right or right? If they decided to triple it today, would you be upset? Yes or no? That's staying in the same current situation. You're at now Now what I can tell you is the grid's gonna max out at 15% the reason why we're in this area is because solar isn't going to be available for much longer And when your utility bill doubles or triple just like gas went from a dollar a gallon to six you remember when it happened Do you remember what gas was a dollar a gallon? If there was a way that you could assign an agreement to ensure that when it went to six dollars a gallon You wouldn't have paid for it. Would you have signed that agreement? Yes or no? I? Bet you would have believed it wasn't real though. Am I right? But it was real wasn't it and so is inflation and our dollar doesn't go as far as it used to go I'm here because I'm gonna give you an opportunity to be in control Do you like being in control of your money and you're in your own decisions? Yes or no? Well, you're currently not With the current utility bill Energy company you're with if they decided to triple it today You would have to pay it or you'd run your house off candles. Am I correct? You want to be stuck in that position The only way that I can ensure that you won't be stuck in that position is by signing on the dotted line and putting glass on your roof And I'm gonna tell you it feels good to know that you're inflation proof It feels good to know that there is an agreement in place in which you won't be taken advantage of by someone Doesn't that feel good to have control?  Yes or no? What would that be worth to you everything, right? I Don't need everything. I just need you to sign right here Hey guys, what's going on? It's Andy a lot of you leave comments Tell me that you need help do me a favor I'm gonna tell you the best way to get a hold of me shoot me a text message right now 918 210 254 918 210 254 I'll help you with whatever you need.  Let's get back to the video Hey, by the way, I don't sell solar that just maybe kind of what I would say just made that up I did just make that up. I want you to pay attention and write this down. Is my objective bigger than their objection and You can see his conviction and saying I'm here to rescue you.  Yeah, totally and by the way, I want to tell you guys this This is the only way to get good. Does that make sense? Dude, I didn't know he was gonna hit me with I need to think about it And I'm not in the solar industry, but you know what? I know I love people and I know that I got a good product I know solar is a good product. I know that I just need to be a master communicator What is a master communicator somebody that makes it easy to say yes to hard to say no to and makes it the client's idea every Single time that's our that's our framework. Okay now. I can I say something real quick? This is important if any of you in here right now want to earn the top 1% in your industry You should have already I'm not telling you to do it now You will do it, but you should have already wrote down the top 10 objections, right Brad That they probably have in their industry and you should probably know these and have them tattooed on their heart Does that make sense? And if you don't if you don't guys all you have to do from now on is when you don't get a deal for some Reason find out why funny enough when you start asking why am I not getting this deal to your customer? You end up with a deal because you'll find more opportunities most times people here know and they just walk away But asking why will allow you to write down that objection? You should know your top five objections at minimum and how to handle each one five different ways The only way to learn guys. I'm telling you right now is practice repetition and accountability You need good content, which is what this is, but if you don't go practice Repeatedly and hold yourselves accountable or your team's accountable. It's never gonna happen Getting put on the spot is the best thing that you guys could ever do for yourself. Do you feel me 100%?  We got daily sales training videos dropping I'll see you soon


What's up guys and welcome back to another exciting video. I know a lot of people that have small businesses or just started running their own business, but don't know how to film themselves in order to promote what they are doing. Hiring me can be very expensive. So I thought I would make a video on how to film yourself with not much cost using an iPhone to get the best results out of your video. With that said, I have 10 steps prepared for you to follow easily. Let's get into it. So step number one is to set up your camera settings. Go to settings, camera, record video and choose 4K 24 frames per second. 4K has more detail than 1080p and 24 frames per second gives us that natural filmic look. If you don't have that option, choose 1080p 30 frames per second, that's fine too. If you want to get more out of your iPhone camera, I highly recommend you purchase the Filmic Pro app which gives you full manual control over your camera settings and will turn your iPhone into a professional video camera. If you want to check that out, I have a tutorial on that which I will link up here. Step number two is to check your iPhone's storage space. Delete all of your cat pictures to free up enough space. Step number three is to turn off your notification.  That way you won't get any interruptions while filming. Step number four is to clean your lens.  Step number five is to use a tripod. If you're filming yourself, it makes sense to invest in a tripod. The tripod allows you to adjust the height and be more flexible when choosing your framing. I went with the Coleman Alpha tripod because it's an Alpha tripod which is super cheap and costs only 30 bucks. Make sure to additionally get the compatible tripod mount for your iPhone. The Ulanzi adapter for only 15 bucks is a great solution. If for some reason you can't or don't want to use a tripod, get creative. Stack books together or ask someone to be your human tripod. Anything that can keep the camera in place. Step number six is to live monitor yourself. Use the front-facing camera which usually has less quality but will allow you to live monitor yourself. The main reason why you need to see yourself is to mainly get the framing right but also check if you're still recording. This is probably the easiest, most cost-effective way since you don't need to buy an external monitor. You will get decent quality out of your front-facing camera but if you want to get the best image quality then using the camera on the back of your iPhone would be a better idea. The downside to it is that you can't see what you're recording and if you want to frame yourself you could do it through trial and error but it can get very frustrating. Hello, my name is Bennett, I'm a filmmaker and I would like to apply for a job. It does work but there are easier methods which will lead us to our next step which is to frame yourself. In order to frame yourself, the best solution would be to connect your iPhone to an external monitor but those don't come cheap. A more cheaper solution would be to use a placeholder like my Obito stand. Simply place it where you would have yourself standing. You could also use a different object. The goal is to set a reference point. That way you can adjust the framing, set the focus and exposure to make the image look good. Once everything is set, hit the record button, move the placeholder away and position yourself where the placeholder stood. As you might have realized by now is that you can't see what you're recording. I don't know what I'm recording, my friend. So for example, if the camera accidentally stopped recording because you have no storage space you wouldn't know until you checked it for yourself. If you're recording at home I recommend using the Lightning Digital AV adapter for 50 bucks to connect it to your computer, laptop or TV. These days there are plenty of TVs with HDMI inputs that you can buy for an affordable price. Really great solution to mirror exactly what you're seeing on your iPhone. Now when filming yourself the rule of thirds is a good starting point to get a more appealing and better balanced image. The rule of thirds divides your image equally into nine parts. You want to position yourself at the points where they meet. Make sure to have grid lines checked to have them appear in your frame. A lot of beginners place themselves in the dead center although that composition can be powerful using it too much can get very boring. In general, videos should be shot and viewed horizontally. This way you have a wide screen format. Never set up your iPhone vertically while recording unless your video is specifically for Snapchat or Instagram. Step number eight is to light your video. If you don't have the money to buy video lights the best way is to use natural light that is coming from the sun. You want to pay attention to the time of day because depending on how high the sun is the light can get really harsh which will cast strong shadows. You generally want to go for a softer lighting. If you're filming outside, pick an overcast day or avoid midday sun. If you're at home place yourself close to the window. Over time it's definitely worth investing in a good light. For my videos I use the Aperture 120D combined with the window light. There are certainly cases where you will need additional light. If you're on a budget a great solution is to buy a small newer LED light for 30 bucks and use it with a $10 lantern from IKEA. Place it above or close enough to illuminate your face. A great hack that produces a really soft light. Well, Bennett, I don't want to set up an extra light. Why can't I just increase the ISO? You hear that plane? It's a beautiful day outside, huh?  So if there's absolutely no way to add additional light into your scene the last option would be to increase your exposure in your camera. You can do that by tap holding on the screen. Box will appear. Then tap hold somewhere around the box and slide either up or downwards to adjust your exposure. Now you can also lock your exposure and focus by tap holding with your finger on the screen until it says AE Lock. You absolutely want to do that before you start recording. This way you will avoid exposure and focus change during recording. Step number nine is to use a microphone. Huh, this one. If you don't have the money to invest in a decent mic make sure to place yourself close to where your iPhone is. Buying a microphone is a great investment if you plan to film a lot of videos. I like using the road video mic in the elf which you can get for 50 bucks. That produces great audio. If you need to move around a lot you could invest in the road wireless go for 200 bucks with an Apple Lightning II 3.5 millimeter jack adapter for 10 bucks. This is absolutely my favorite because of its simple setup and good audio quality. And I can move around wherever I want and the audio quality is still great.  A great and free software is iMovie which I used to work with before I upgraded to Final Cut Pro X. If you never have edited a video before then I suggest you start right now. iMovie is really easy to use and there are many tutorials online if you want to get started. That was it for today's video guys. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did please leave a like and let me know in the comments what you would like to see next. Subscribe to support me.

From Denver, Colorado, it's theCUBE. Covering Supercomputing 17, brought to you by Intel. Hey, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at Denver, Colorado at the Supercomputing conference 2017, about 12,000 people talking about really the outer edges of computing. It's pretty amazing. The keynote was these huge square kilometer array and new vocabulary word I learned today. So it's pretty exciting times and we're excited to have our next guest. He's Bill Jenkins. He's a product line manager for AI on FPGAs at Intel. Bill, welcome. Thank you very much for having me. Nice to meet you, nice to talk to you today. Absolutely, so you're right in the middle of this machine learning AI storm which we keep hearing more and more about. Kind of the next generation of big data, if you will. That's right, that's right. It's the most dynamic industry I've seen since the telecom industry back in the 90s. It's just evolving every day, every month. So Intel is making some announcements, using kind of this combination of software programming and FPGAs on the acceleration stack to get more performance out of the data center. I get that right? Sure, yeah, yeah. Pretty exciting the use of both the hardware as well as software on top of it to open up the solution stack, open up the ecosystem. So what are those things are you working on specifically? So I really build the first enabling technology that brings the FPGA into that Intel ecosystem where Intel is trying to provide that solution from top to bottom to deliver AI products into that market. FPGAs are a key piece of that because we provide a different way to accelerate those machine learning and AI workloads. Where we can be an offload engine to a CPU. We can be in line analytics to offload the system and get higher performance that way. And we tie into that overall Intel ecosystem of tools and products. Right, so that's pretty interesting piece because the real time streaming data is all the rage now, right? Not in batch, you want to get it now. So how do you get it in? How do you get it into the database? How do you get it into the microprocessor? So that's a really, really important piece. That's different than even what two years ago we really didn't hear about much real time. Yeah, I mean, I think it's like I said, it's evolving quite a bit. Now a lot of people deal with training. It's the science behind it. The data scientists work to figure out what topologies they want to deploy and how they want to deploy them. But now people are building products around it. And once they start deploying these technologies into products, they realize that they don't want to compensate for limitations in hardware. They want to work around them. So a lot of this evolution that we're building is to try to find ways to more efficiently do that compute and what we call inferencing, the actual deployed machine learning scoring, as they will, in a product. It's all about how quickly can I get the data out? It's not about waiting two seconds to start the processing in an autonomous driven car where someone's crossing the road, I'm not waiting two seconds to figure out what's a person, I need it right away. So I need to be able to do that with video feeds, right off a disk drive from the Ethernet data coming in. I want to do that directly in line so that my processor can do what it's good at and we offload that processor to get better system performance. And then on the machine learning specifically, because that is all the rage and it is learning. So there is a real time aspect to it. You talked about autonomous vehicles, but there's also a continuous learning over time that's not necessarily dependent on learning immediately, but continuous improvement over time. So what are some of the unique challenges in machine learning and what are some of the ways you guys are trying to address those? Yeah, I mean, once you've trained the network, people always have to go back and retrain. They say, okay, I've got a good accuracy but I want better performance. So then they start lowering the precision and they say, well, today we're at 32-bit, maybe 16-bit, and then they start looking at into eight. But the problem is their accuracy drops. So they retrain that into eight topology, that network to get the performance benefit but with the higher accuracy. But the flexibility of the FPGA actually allows people to take that network with the 32-bit train weights but deploy it in lower precision. So we can abstract away the fact that the hardware is so flexible, we can do what we call floating point, 11-bit floating point, or even 8-bit floating point. Even here today at the show, we've got a binary and ternary demo showcasing the flexibility that the FPGA can provide today with that building lock piece of hardware that the FPGA can be and really provide not only the topologies that people are trying to build today but tomorrow, future-proofing their hardware, but then the precisions that they may want to do. So they don't have to retrain. They can get less than a 1% accuracy loss but they can lower that precision to get all the performance benefits of that, data science's work to come up with a new architecture. But it's interesting because there's trade-offs, right? There's no optimum solution. It's optimum as to what you're trying to optimize for. So really the ability to change, the ability to continue to work on those learning algorithms to be able to change your priority is pretty key. Yeah, I mean, a lot of times today you want this. So this has been the mantra of the FPGA for 30 plus years. You deploy it today, it works fine. Maybe you build an ASIC out of it, but what you want tomorrow is going to be different. So maybe if it's changing so rapidly, you build the ASIC because there's runway to that. But if there isn't, you may just say, I have the FPGA, I can just reprogram it to do what's the next architecture, the next methodology. So it gives you that future-proofing, that capability to sustain different topologies, different architectures, different precisions, to kind of keep people going with the same piece of hardware without having to, say, spin up a new ASIC every year, which is, even then, it's so dynamic, it's probably faster than every year the way things are going today. So the other thing you mentioned is topography, and it's not the same topography you mentioned, but this whole idea of edge, right? So moving more and more compute and store and smarts to the edge, because there's just not going to be time, you mentioned autonomous vehicles, a lot of applications to get everything back up into the cloud, back into the data center. So you guys are pushing this technology not only in the data center, but progressively closer and closer to the edge. Absolutely, I mean, the data center has a need. It's always going to be there, but they're getting big, right? There's the amount of data that we're trying to process every day is growing, right? I always say that the telecom industry started the information age. Well, the information age has done a great job of collecting a lot of data. We have to process that. If you think about where, again, I'll maybe I'll allude back to autonomous vehicles, you're talking about thousands of gigabytes per day of data generated, smart factories, exabytes of data generated a day. What are you going to do with all that? It has to be processed. So we need that compute in the data center, but we have to start pushing it out into the edge where I start thinking, what are you going to show like this? I want security. So I want to do real time weapons detection, right? Security prevention. I want to do smart city applications, just monitoring how traffic moves through a mall so that I can control lighting and heating. All of these things at the edge in the camera that's deployed on the street, in the camera that's deployed in a mall, right? All of that, we want to make those smarter so that we can do more compute to offload the amount of data that needs to be sent back to the data center as much as possible. Relevant data gets sent back. No shortage of demand for compute store networking, is there? No, no, it's really a heterogeneous world, right? We need all the different compute. We need all the different aspects of transmission of the data with 5G. We need disk space to store it. We need cooling to cool it. It's really becoming a heterogeneous world. All right, I'm going to give you the last word. So I can't believe what we're November of 2017, which is bananas. What are you working on for 2018? What are some of your priorities? If we talk a year from now, what are we going to be talking about? Yeah, so Intel, I mean, Intel's acquired a lot of companies over the past couple of years now on AI. You're seeing a lot of merging of the FPGA into that ecosystem. We've got the Nirvana, we've got Movidius, we've got Mobileye acquisitions, Saffron technologies, all of these things when the FPGA is kind of a key piece of that because it gives you that flexibility of the hardware to extend those pieces. You're going to see a lot more stuff in the cloud, a lot more stuff with partners next year and really enabling that edge to data center compute with things like binary neural networks, ternary neural networks, all the different next generation of topologies to kind of keep that leading edge flexibility that the FPGA can provide for people's products tomorrow. Exciting times. Yeah, great. All right, Bill Jenkins. There's a lot going on in computing. If you're not getting computer science degree kids, think about it again. He's Bill Jenkins, I'm Jeff Frank. You're watching theCUBE from Supercomputing 2017. Thanks for watching. Thank you.


This study investigated the progression of hearing loss in children with unilateral hearing loss, UHL, finding that almost half of these children experienced some degree of deterioration in hearing in one or both ears. The majority of deterioration occurred within the first four years following diagnosis, with the decrease stabilizing and showing a plateau in the last four years. Children with ENT external slash middle ear anomalies, inner ear anomalies, syndromic hearing loss, and hereditary slash genetic causes were found to be at higher risk for progressive hearing loss.

I'm positive that almost everyone in the world knows who Kylie Jenner is because how could you not?  Not to mention she only just recently turned 22. Her amount of fame and fortune is enough to blow your mind and she's 144 million followers on IG at the time of this recording. Kylie has a handful of titles including media personality or reality TV star, model, entrepreneur and socialite. She's well known for starring on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, obviously, as well as owning her own company, Kylie Cosmetics. Kylie is also a mom these days and had her daughter stormy with her man Travis Scott. But that's all old news. Let's not forget that she was titled the world's youngest billionaire earlier this year. Forbes magazine said that Kylie's net worth was estimated at one billion US dollars. They called Kylie the world's youngest self-made billionaire, but obviously that received controversy because, duh, look who her family is and where she came from. Anyways, imagine all the things you could do with that kind of dough. Considering Kylie is a billionaire she can definitely afford any house she wants. So of course, Kylie has an impressive mansion that's not only spacious and fancy, it's also all personalized to her liking and to reflect her style. Kylie opened up her home for a photo shoot and gave a tour of it earlier this year and I've also seen footage of her spot thanks to her IG. Like when Travis covers the place in roses. So if you've ever been curious where Kylie calls home, today I'm going to show you. We'll see if her mansion really is a total image of her. Hey guys, it's Kara and we've been trying something a little different here on this channel. Today we're going to be taking a look at Kylie Jenner's home and give the details on her house tour. It's no doubt that Kylie's spot is nothing short of insane, so get ready to be at least a little bit jealous. If you like this idea, I'll make more house tours fit. We also did one on Ariana Grande's homes and Jeffree Star's pink Barbie mansion and we'll have links to those at the end of this video. I've also been reading all your comments and I'm going to be responding to some at the end of this video. I need you to let me know who to do next in the comments down below and whose home you'd like to see. Kylie purchased her spot back in 2016 and it's located in the LA suburb Hidden Hills. In fact, according to trulya.com, the youngest of the family has three homes in the Hidden Hills. Since she bought one for $6,000,000 there beforehand and it's neighbor for $4,500,000. Her mother, Chris, and her siblings also have houses there. The mansion that Kylie calls home was purchased for $12,000,000 and features eight beds and 11 baths. The house is 13,200 square feet and sits on 1.4 acres of land, obviously looking over Los Angeles. When Kylie bought the home years back, it looked stunning and was brand new. It already had a theater, a gourmet kitchen, a pool and spa, even a massage room. But Kylie didn't want to settle.  So Kylie got the designer Martin Gorence Bullard to help her create her dream home. He's apparently a big deal when it comes to design. Kylie said, I told Martin I wanted a fresh, fun vibe to match the way I was feeling. Color was essential. I love pink and wanted a lot of it. And a lot of pink is exactly what she got. But you'll see. And remember how young Kylie still is. Even though she's a mom, I doubt she wants a boring house. Definitely makes sense that she wanted her place to be exciting. I for one am into the pink theme. By the home's entryway, there are Andy Warhol prints of Marilyn Monroe lining the wall up the staircase. Kylie has said that she loves Marilyn and feels a deep connection to the icon. So this artwork was chosen for that reason. Looking at the living room, the color scheme looks really fresh.  The living room is meant to give both an old and new Hollywood vibe. And Kylie's golden sparkly cocktail table in this room is totally a statement piece. I'm obsessed with Kylie's dining room, definitely one of my fave parts of the home. This room gives off equal girly and retro vibes. The table and chairs are custom by Kylie's designer Martin, and just like Kylie requested, the chairs are pink. Well, almost all of them. I could imagine that this room would make the perfect photo op for a dinner party, especially if it's a girls night. Kylie's kitchen is fancy as well, and I also heard that the star likes to bake. So this giant kitchen clearly gives her more than enough room. There's also a really interesting chandelier in here that looks cool, but kind of scary too. Apparently, if you want to buy the chandelier, you can, but it's going to cost you over 13 grand.  When you go into the master bath, you can tell it's Kylie's. Pink is a theme here, and one of the things I noticed is how great the natural lighting looks in here. Pretty sure you could take some great selfies. And in case you wanted to know, all of those pink towels are Louis Vuitton. If you're staying in one of the guest bedrooms, you probably won't complain considering how nice it is. You just have to stare at pictures of her mom, Kris Jenner, while you're in bed. This room has a monochrome vibe and features vintage pics of Kris on the wall. I think that I like the family room better than the living room, just because it looks a bit cozier. Like, I would rather hang out in this room in my PJs than the other one. What I like about it most has got to be that hammock thing and what looks like the furthest blanket in the world, not to mention the fireplace. Her mom also agrees with me. Even the second floor landing in Kylie's house is a hangout space in itself. There's enough space for a giant sectional and then self. The hot pink and blue tables here are gorgeous. Kylie also has a games room with a bar at her place. The star says that she loves having people over, so keeping this in mind, her designer said, the look is glamorous but totally inviting. There's nothing so precious that you can't stand, jump, or dance on it. The bar is super cool and looks like a great spot to hang out. I found the condom art on the wall an interesting choice though, not gonna lie. The game room is supposed to be slightly more wild and Kylie wanted it to be an adult play zone. Aside from the bar, there's also a pool table and pinball machines. If you look closer beside the candy bowls, she has her sister's books on the table. Not surprising. So in my opinion, I've saved the best for last, which would be Kylie's glam room and her closet. I think her glam room is what makes the mansion the most Kylie-esque. The glam room is the place where Kylie does her makeup and hair or gets her team to do it for her. There's a ton of pink feature here. After all, it is a Barbie themed room. There are pink seats, pink tables, and a neon pink sign that says plastic. There are also some framed photos of Barbie herself. Kylie has also said about these rooms. My closet and glam room are very personal to me, even down to the size of each drawer. So they fit my specific products and clothes. I spend a lot of time in those rooms, so we had to make sure they were perfect. Kylie's closet or dressing room is fit for a princess and it's the perfect spot to show off all her designer gear. There's also a walk-in area specifically for Kylie's handbags. Looking at it makes me so jealous. Actually, her handbag closet reminds me a lot of Jeffery Stars. So I wonder who has the better collection. We also know that Kylie has a pool because first of all, almost all celebrity mansions in Hollywood do, and because we've seen it. And plus, what else are you going to do with 1.4 acres of land? So although Kylie has always lived in luxury, her main house is definitely a step above the rest. And comparing it to her previous spots, she really outdid herself. I think that Kylie's house has got to be one of my faves considering how personalized it is. Even though it's really fancy, there's still an inviting and comfortable vibe to it, which I think a lot of mansions don't have. I might be a little biased because her place has so much of my favorite color, pink. But I think Kylie did a great job bringing her dream house to life and getting the interior designed just the way she wanted. The girl has great taste. After seeing Kylie's house and Jeffree's stars, I don't know which one is more pink. Well, it's probably Jeffree's, but it's a close call. I think Kylie does the whole pink theme while keeping things tasteful, but let me know what you guys think. Kylie is only 22, so I wonder how long she'll call this place home. But considering how much effort and time was put into it, I think it would be hard to create something better. Okay guys, so I'm gonna be reading out some of your comments. This was from our recent fit on Ariana Grande's house tour. Jesse Paul said, who cares? Ariana, Satanic, Puppet and Illuminati. Interesting point, Jesse. Maybe this should be one of my next videos, researching Ariana and the Illuminati. I haven't heard about them in a long time, to be honest. Also from our Ariana house tour vid, Chris McCullough said, yeah, I agree, Kylie would probably be better compared to NYC. Thanks for agreeing with me, Chris. I honestly wish I could see more of Ariana's mansion in the hills. Definitely leaves me curious. All right guys, that's all I could find on Kylie's home. I look forward to reading what you guys think about her spot or if there's anything I might have missed. What was your favorite part of Kylie's girly mansion? Leave some more comments so I can respond to you guys and let me know some other celebrity houses you'd like to see. I'll see you next week with some brand new videos. Bye.


Back hands and inside time, head position here. When I push the guy, I take ground. They have backed that guy up. I don't want him, and I would encourage you guys to really avoid pushing with your hands. Okay, if I want to back this guy up and I want to get pressure in him, I don't really want to do it by just pushing him on my hands, okay? There's so many ways that he can clear my hands and score. You're going to snap him, and then my hands come in. You can post him, okay? So there's a lot of different ways that you can clear my hands and get to my leg back. So that's why I want my head to fly in here. And when I'm backing the guy up, I want to get my hips and my heel in here. I take ground, my hips underneath my chest, head position, and that's the way I take ground. I don't want to push a guy like this with my hands. All right, now, another reason why it's really important that our heads are always in the fight, my first line's a defense. If this guy attacks me, my first line's a defense, I'm going to be my head and hands. Okay, head and hands, okay? So the first thing we're going to work on here is the head block. And that's making sure my head's always connected. So I'm here, I hit my position here, I'm going to hand fight a little bit. So if this guy attacks, you're going to be changing them. Then my head's in the way. My head's in the way. Now, my head block with my head, and then you'll notice my feet immediately get an angle. Here, I get this, I'm backing up, these shoes, head block, and then my feet are immediately getting an angle, okay? Now, we're going to do this a little bit right now without our hands, just to try to teach you the importance of kind of making sure my head's in the right spot. So here, I'm backing up, and these shoes, I down block, okay? Circle my feet, pressure into the guy. I'm not abusing my hands here. Here, I get pressure, that's key, I have to have pressure. If I don't have pressure into the guy, and these shoes, it's going to be hard. And I'm going to block with my head, but typically it's a lot harder to feel the guy come. So I want to have pressure into the guy. I'm here, I'm backing up a little pressure.  Okay? So I want you guys just to go through that drill.  I'm just going to show you the field. Letters me this, head block, level change it without a partner, level change it, head block it, then I get my feet out of the way. Okay, that's the better standing. First line to the defense, head, hands, okay? Put your hands on him, hit the pocket here, take your hands away, level change the shoes, head block, pressure into the guy.  Do I got it? All right, so we'll put that head block and drill. Once you make contact, take your hands away. One, two, three.
