Live from Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, it's theCUBE. Covering Women in Data Science Conference 2018. Brought to you by Stanford. Welcome back to theCUBE. I'm Lisa Martin, and we're live at Stanford University, the third annual Women in Data Science Conference with, this is a great one day technical event with keynote speakers, with technical vision tracks, career panel, and some very inspiring leaders. It's also expected to reach over 100,000 people today, which is incredible. So we're very fortunate to be joined by our next guest, Ruth Marenshaw, the CTO for Research Computing at Stanford University. Welcome to theCUBE, Ruth. Thank you. It's an honor to be here. It's great to have you here. You've been in this role as the CTO for Research Computing at Stanford for nearly six years. That's correct. I came here after about 25 years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. So tell us a little bit about what you do in terms of the services that you support to the Institute for Computational Mathematics and Engineering. So our team, and we're about 17 now, supports systems, file systems, storage, databases, software across the university to support computational and data intensive science. So ICME, being really the home of computational science education at Stanford from a degree perspective, is a close partner with us. We help them with training opportunities. We try to do some collaborative planning, event, promotion, sharing of ideas. We have joint office hours where we can provide system support. Margo's graduate students and data scientists can provide algorithmic support to some thousands of users across the campus, about 500 faculty. Wow. So this is the third year for Weds. Your third year here. It is. When you spoke with Margo Garrison, who's going to be joining us later today, about the idea for Weds, what were some of your thoughts about that? Did you expect it to make as big of an impact? No. No, people have been talking about this data tsunami and the rise of big data literally for 10 years, but actually it arrived. This is the world we live in, data everywhere. That data deluge that had been foreseen or promised or feared was really there. And so when Margo had the idea to start Weds, I actually thought, what a nice campus event. There are women all over Stanford, across disciplines who are engaged in data science and more who should. Stanford, if anything, is known for its interdisciplinary research. And data science is one of those fields that really crosses the schools and the discipline. So I thought, what a great way to bring women together at Stanford. I clearly did not expect that it would turn into this global phenomenon. That's exactly, I love that word. It is a phenomenon, it's a movement. They're expecting, I said over 100,000 participants today at more than 150 regional events. I think that number will go up during the day in more than 50 countries. But it shows, even in three years, not only is there a need for this, there's a demand for it. That last year, I think it was upwards of 75,000 people to make that massive of a jump in one year and global impact is huge. But it also speaks to some of the things that Margo and her team have said. They may have been comfortable as one of, or the only woman at a boardroom table, but maybe there are others that aren't comfortable and how do we help them and inspire the next generation? Exactly. I think it's really a very powerful statement and demonstration of the importance of community and building technical teams in making, as you said, people comfortable and feeling like they're not alone. We see what 100,000 women may be joining in internationally over this week for these events. That's such a small fraction compared to what the need probably is, to what the hunger probably is. And as Margo said, we're a room full of women here today, but we're still such a minority in the industry, in the field. Yes. So you mentioned, you've been here at Stanford for over five years, but you were at Chapel Hill before. Tell me a little bit about your career path in the STEM field. What was your inspiration all those years ago to study this? Well, my background is actually computational social sciences. How interesting. And so from an undergraduate and graduate perspective, and this was the dawn of Western civilization long ago, not quite that long, but long ago. And even then I was drawn to programming and data analysis and data sort of discovery. As a graduate student, and then for a career, worked at a demographic research center at UNC Chapel Hill, where first hand, you did data science, you did original data collection and data analysis, data manipulation, interpretation, and then parlayed that into more of a technical role, learning more programming languages, computer hardware, software systems and the like, and went on to find that this was really my love was technology. And it's so exciting to be here at Stanford from that perspective, because this is the birthplace of many technologies. And again, referencing the interdisciplinary nature of work here, we have some of the best data scientists in the world. We have some of the best statisticians and algorithm developers and social scientists, humanists, who together can really make a difference in solving, using big data science to solve some of the pressing problems. The social impact that data science and computer science alone can make with ideally a diverse set of eyes and perspectives looking at it, is infinite. Absolutely, and that's one reason I'm super excited today, this third wids, for one of the keynote speakers, Latanya, from Harvard, she's going to be talking, she's from government and sort of political science, but she's going to be talking about data science from the policy perspective and also the privacy perspective. I think this data science provides such great opportunity not just to have the traditional STEM fields participating, but really to leverage the ethicists and the humanists and the social sciences. So we have that diversity of opinions shaping decision making. Exactly, and as much as big data and those technologies open up a lot of opportunities for new business models, for corporations, I think so does it also, and parallel open up new opportunities for career paths and for women in the field all over the world to make a big, big difference. Exactly, I think that's another value add for wids over its three years is to expose young women to the range of career paths in which data science can have an impact. It's not just about coding, although that's an important part. As we heard this morning, investment banking. Go figure, right now SAP is talking about the impact on precision medicine and precision healthcare. Last year we had the national security agents here talking about use of data. We've had geographers. So I think it helps broaden the perspective about where you can take your skills in data science and also expose you to the full range of skills that's needed to make a good data science team. Right, the hard skills, right? The data and statistical analyses, the computational skills, but also the softer skills. How do you see that in your career as those two sides, the hard skills, the soft skills come in together to formulate the things that you're doing today? Well, we have to have a diverse team. So I think the soft skills come into play not just from having women on your team, but a diversity of opinions. In all that we do in managing our systems and making decisions about what to do. We do look at data. They may not be data at scale that we see in healthcare or mobile devices or our mobile health, our Fitbit data. But we try to base our decisions on an analysis of data and purely running an algorithm or applying a formula to something will give you one perspective. But it's only part of the answer. So working as a team to evaluate other alternative methods there never is just one right way to model something, right? And I think that having the diversity across the team and pulling in external decision makers as well to help us evaluate the data. We look at the hard science and then we ask about is this the right thing to do? Is this really what the data are telling us? So with WID's being aimed at inspiring and educating data scientists worldwide, we kind of talked a little bit already about inspiring the younger generation who are maybe, as Maria Claway has said, the ideal time to inspire young females is for semester in college. But there's also sort of a flip side to that and that's I think reinvigorating. The women who've been in the STEM field or in technology for a while. What are some of the things you have found invigorating in your own career about WID's and the collaboration with other females in the industry? I think hearing inspirational speakers like Maria last year and this year, Diane Greene from Google last year, talk about just the point you made that there's always opportunity, there's always time to learn new things, to start a new career. We don't have to be first year freshmen in college in order to start a career. That we're all lifelong learners and to hear women present and to see and meet with people at the breakout sessions in the lunch whose careers have been shaped by, in some cases, remade by the opportunity to learn new things and apply those skills in new areas. It's just exciting. Today for this conference, I brought along four or five of my colleagues from IT at Stanford who are not data scientists. They would not call themselves data scientists, but they're data elements to all of their careers and watching them in there this morning as they see what people are doing and hear about the possibilities. It's just exciting. It's exciting and it's empowering as well. Again, back to that idea of community, you're not in it alone. And to be connected to all of these women across generations is really, it's just invigorating. I love that. It's empowering, it is invigorating. Did you have mentors when you were in your undergrad days? Were they males, females, both? I would say in undergraduate and graduate school, actually they were more males from an academic perspective. But as a graduate student, I worked in a programming unit and my mentors there were all females and one in particular became then my boss and she was a lifelong mentor to me. And I found that really important. She believed in women. She believed that programming was not a male field. She did not believe that technology was the domain only of men and she really was supportive throughout. And I think it's important for young women as well as mid-career women to continue to have mentors to help bounce ideas off of and to help encourage. Encourage. Definitely, definitely. I'm always surprised every now and then when I'm interviewing females in tech, they'll say, I didn't have a mentor. So I had to become one. But I think we think maybe think of mentors in an earlier stage of our careers, but at a later stage we talked about that reinvigoration. Are you finding WIDs as a source of maybe, not only for you to have the opportunity to mentor more women, but also are you finding more mentors of different generations as a being part of WIDs? Absolutely, think of Karen Mappas, not just Margaret, but Karen getting to know her and we go for sort of walks around the campus and sort of bounce ideas off each other. I think it is a community for, yes, for all of us. It's not just for the young women and we want to remain engaged in this. And the fact that it's global now, I think a new challenge is how do we leverage this international community now? So our opportunities for mentorship and partnership aren't limited to our local WIDs. They're an important group, but how do we connect across those different communities? They're international now. Exactly, I think I was on Twitter last night and there was the WIDs New Zealand about to go live and I just thought, wow, it's this great community. But you make a good point that it's reached such scale so quickly. Now it's about how can we learn from women in different industries in other parts of the world and how can they learn from us to really grow this foundation of collaboration and to a word you said earlier, community. It really is amazing though that in three years WIDs has become what it has because if you think about other organizations, special interest groups and the like, often they really are, they're not parochial but they tend to be local and if they're national they're not at this scale. And so again, back to it's the right time. It's the right set of organizers. I mean, Margot, anything she touches she puts it herself completely into it and it's almost always successful. The right people, the right time. And finding ways to harness and encourage enthusiasm in really productive ways. I think it's just been fabulous. I agree. Last question for you, looking back at your career what advice would you have given young Ruth? Oh gosh. That's a really great question. I think to try to connect as much as you can outside your comfort zone, back to that idea of mentorship.   I don't want to be a statistician. Well, why not? So I think to encourage more curiosity outside the classroom in terms of thinking about what is the world about and how could you make a difference? I love that, getting out of the comfort zone. One of my mentors says get comfortably uncomfortable and I love that. That's great, yeah. I love that. Well, Ruth, thank you so much for joining us on theCUBE today. It's our pleasure to have you here and we hope you have a great time with the event. We look forward to talking to you next time. We'll see you next year. Thank you. Excellent, bye bye. I'm Lisa Martin, you're watching theCUBE live from Stanford University at the Third Annual Women in Data Science Conference. Hashtag with 2018, join the conversation. After this short break, I'll be right back with my next guest. Stick around.


As you sink in, you get more and more in touch with that inspiration.  That's what's going to take you down the runway faster and faster and faster until there's liftoff. It's one of the things I really appreciate about our community is there's encouragement for inspiration. There's encouragement for extension. We have our meditations. There's encouragement for stillness. There's many different ways of expression, but when I was back in university, you know, it was all of us students trying to find out what are we going to do with our lives, and there's a book that came out, What Color Is Your Parachute? Remember that one? It was really just helping you start to get in touch, you know, with where your inspiration was. That's what it was about. And here we are, you know, seemingly at a monastery at a snowy canyon and we're tapping into that, where is my glee? Where is my joy? What is my inspiration? What is my calling? Knowing that I must have everything in the blueprint in there that is part of my, we'll say, playing my part, even though in the end it goes way beyond parts. But that's the kind of the metaphor from the Course, you know, Jesus calls it your special function. He uses special in a positive connotation, the use of all the things that the ego made that seems to be part of your personality, but just channeled in line with the Holy Spirit. So it's your special function. It's the use, like we took a trip with Lila and she was talking about sometimes the preferences will still come up and it's like, yeah, the Holy Spirit will use your ego preference system, will use everything to take you home, everything, even the preferences, which is the ordering of thoughts, which is the hierarchy of illusions, which is saying this one's better than that one and I prefer this one over that one. It's like that line from Simone, if you ever saw the movie Simone, it's in my movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment, but at the end of the movie, the Pacino character who uses this virtual actor, this vector to make up all these movies and everything and she's not a real actor, so he feels real guilty that he's been using this vector and not telling anybody about it and his daughter finally helps unravel the whole thing, get it all his private thoughts and realize everything that he's done and she smiles at him in there in the car. She has this great line. I'll never forget that line. She says, we're fine with fake dead. Just don't lie about it. That's the Holy Spirit. That's the Holy Spirit and Jesus in your mind. We're fine with fake. Just don't lie about it. Just don't pretend we don't know. Just don't lie to yourself. Just don't try to cover it and hide it and protect it and think that you're guilty because of the fake, because the fake is the fake. The fake is fake. Fake is not real. You're making yourself guilty over something that's not real. We're fine with fake. Just don't cover it. Just don't hide it. Just don't conceal it from us. If you bring the fake to us, we'll make sure that it disappears and is gone. We're fine with fake. Just don't lie about it. Now, when we're getting into our inspirations, you don't have to feel guilty about preferences. You just have to say, take these from me. You can use them in a way to get me out of here. You can use them in a way that will lift me up beyond all sense of limitation, beyond all identification with the ego. You can lift me up and use everything that the ego made to lift me up. That's why the Course says the Holy Spirit uses special relationships and transforms them into holy relationships. This is what the ego made and transforms it into holiness. If you remember that song by Air Supply, Australian Ben, Making Love Out of Nothing at All. That's what the Holy Spirit is lifting us up to holiness, out of nothing at all. That's a pretty good lift.


Nobody talks about this man. I wish somebody gave a speech on it. I'm so glad Friday night when we showed up here. We smoked a cigar with outside We were just having a good time. This is why all you guys need to hang out in the barbershop all you guys need to stop Well, you can play your video games or you need to get off that for a little bit You need to talk to other men need to talk to other men who are established not some boy Not some guy that has a concept about relationships not somebody who's just starting out You're not somebody who married their first girlfriend or whatever it is not somebody who just has this limited experience But a man all right, and he's not special. He's not greater than you He doesn't have to be more alpha, but somebody who has life experience and man. He brought this up You know and this was one of those things on those calls. I test drove this sucker on the On my TSL calls and Jim said to me. It's an older gentleman. He's in his 60s He said Stevie didn't make this much more simple for the guys.  I believe I man. I love women, but this is not a cool place to be if you get there And I've been here with this right, okay? It's easy to get carried away with the legal battle.   You guys like well I don't want to have kids neither did I you know and that happened to me 18-year paycheck Jim is like you need to make this simple 18-year paycheck guess what in some states it's different for everybody or different areas It can go up to 26 if they go to college Right where you're paying that Okay, you get all resentful because you're paying you can't get there man Who gives a shit if she's spending it on something else you cannot get there right the average custody battle cost $40,000 that's for men and women for men because we tend to fight for fight more. I'm sorry Goes up. I'd say it's above that so that's the legal fees man And that's not just the the retainer you give to your attorney. That's everything that gets added on to it It's easy to do right Average child support 430 a month mine's double that That's 5100 a year over 18 years. That's if you're 18 years 92 thousand dollars Man use condoms by your family a beach house fire. Whatever it is man do something for yourself You know pay that child support In a different way.   There's another thing here. I didn't have the slide Just because well it came a little bit late But a lot of the guys on the different forums we talked to the Facebook groups we talked to they said you have to Also talk about the abortion talk. I don't want to be political.  It's a it's a different story You can have that discussion before you have sex sex is different man We think it's this logical thing, but there's this emotional thing, right and after somebody gets pregnant Use a man can get attached some men don't that's normal. All right That's very important. All right, and some people their kids are born They're super attached they find out their wife or girlfriend or someone someone is pregnant and they develop a lot of attachment Some people don't that doesn't mean you're a bad dad that doesn't mean you're a psychopath or anything And that should get thrown at you. You know if you guys break up It's it's different But women also the same thing too they go through an emotional change You know in the state of Texas they make it very difficult for you to go through that procedure if you choose to do it So I'm not pro or against but you got to have that discussion if you don't have that discussion It's gonna be had on you. I remember I had somebody got pregnant and A guy said this to me. He's like well Steve. It's her choice, and I was like what? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I get the cool political like whatever We're all voting and let's hold up a sign for whatever party we believe in no It's our choice.   All right, so we got to talk about that stuff. Here's the other thing guys I Rode on the way up here. I said the number one thing that was that was said was use condoms All right, it's number one thing that was said And the guy next to me said yeah everybody says that but nobody uses them Man, I'll tell you right now. I've had a lot of sex, right? And I was actually talking about this last night as a man for a hundred times of having sex So this could be with the same partner and so on but a hundred times having sex I probably used the condom twice five times Right and and I'll tell you this this makes no sense for men and women, right?  But there's times this amazes me with sex amazes me man. I can't tell you how many times this happened This is this is unbelievable. This is the power of sex We build walls around it through culture and all this stuff of not to have it but guess what happens man Guess what happens? You say hey look I have this STD. I you know This is whatever blah blah blah blah blah man I have a lot of crazy stories about it I'll be on the phone with an ex-girlfriend and the other girls next to me whatever it is and Ten minutes later. We're in her room and we're about to hook up and it's like well. Do you want to?   It literally is a force of nature. It's how we stayed alive


me every time Charlie spring speaks. That was beautiful. You did such a good job of expressing yourself. Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. I hope you are well. So today is a new style of video. What I'm going to be doing is talking about some of my favourite book characters and then recommending you booktubers based off of those book characters. I'm a genius. I'm going to be doing four of each, so four pairs. Let me know if you think that's a good number. I want these booktubers to like have a bit of a spotlight, so I don't want to do too many so that some get lost or whatever, but I don't want to do too few. So I feel like four might be a good place to start, but let me know if you want this again and let me know how many you would want in a video. And also another thing I realised when trying to plan this video is I had this idea and then in the planning process I suddenly realised I am much more of a plot reader than a character reader. So although I have characters I loved, I struggle to explain why I loved them so much. So if there's things that this character has done that are a bit shitty then please don't be offended. The people that I'm recommending. One of my favourite characters of all time is Ryn from the Poppywob. I found it really hard to think of a booktuber that wouldn't mind being compared to Ryn. Before you're excited make sure you subscribe down below. I have no idea why I'm hugging myself and hit the bell notification if you haven't yet already. Okay let's go I'm very excited. So my first favourite character ever is Charlie Spring from the Heartstopper graphic novel series. This is Charlie, that's Nick. The Heartstopper graphic novel series aka one of my favourite things of all time. I definitely do a reread because it's been like six months which is far too long since I've read any of these. It is a boy meets boy and boy from in love. A romance graphic novel series and it's just the sweetest thing ever. It deals a lot of heavy topics like figuring out your sexuality and eating disorders but it does it in such a soft caring way and just the art style is just the most beautiful thing ever.  Charlie Spring, my dear Charlie Spring is a very emotionally intelligent character. He's so kind and caring. He's like to me the epitome of a soft cinnamon roll character. That's not a term I use very often. If there whatever was a soft cinnamon roll it is Charlie Spring. I just think he's someone who is really able to easily put himself in other people's shoes and empathise and he's just very caring to those around him, to who he loves. Me every time Charlie Spring speaks. That was beautiful. You did such a good job of expressing yourself. So the booktuber I'm going to be recommending based off of Charlie is Aaron from Booked and Busy. Now Aaron is great if you want fantasy recommendations. She's definitely someone I go to for new fantasy recommendations. She is just one of the sweetest people on Booktube.  I love watching her live shows. She was doing a live show the other day where just the way she spoke about understanding people's situations and looking outside of ourselves was so enlightening and just like it was just wonderful to listen to and her videos give me that calming yet vibrant energy that halfstopper does. Like there's an element of it that is very calming and relaxing and soft but there's also something that's filled with happiness and life and vibrancy and I feel like they're just the exact same vibe. Her videos and halfstopper so You're what? I'm you. Definitely go check out Aaron if you haven't already. I love her videos. Okay my next favorite character. This one was hard as well to think of a booktuber for but it is Darby from No Exit. No Exit is about a girl called Darby who gets snowed in at this rest stop and there's only a few other people that rest stop with her and she goes out to the car park and then finds that in one of the vans there is a young girl who has very obviously been kidnapped and it is the story of her having to fight against the kidnapper. This isn't linked to the booktuber but like this book one of the most stressed out books like I've never been more stressed out it gave me heart palpitations I was sweating like it it wasn't pretty like it wasn't a good time.   Obviously running away from an evil person and booktube are two very different things like it's very hard for me in my mind to compare so I had to be a little bit imaginative but the booktuber I'm going to be recommending is Hannah from Snow White Reader I love Hannah Hannah has been one of the booktubers I've watched for the longest time and my link and my comparison here is that Hannah is constantly surprising me and amazing me with the video ideas and the videos that she puts out like this girl constantly taking it to the next level just like Darby is in very different circumstances Hannah just always puts out a video and I'm just like wow your mind like really and truly where does it come from? Hey queen girl you have done it again constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. So if you really like creator videos you know videos that push the boundaries that are something a bit different on booktube Hannah is definitely my go-to person she's generally one of the most creative booktubers I know she did a writing a song for Bella Swan video and one of my personal favorites is Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte go for a road trip I loved that video so much Hannah also strikes me as very clever which I feel like if she was in Darby's situation she would be able to pull off the stunts I think if Hannah was put in the worst situation she'd actually be able to pull it out of the bag my next favorite character is Ella from Gemina this book is one of the funniest books ever but Ella I think oh ever Ella oh my mind oh it amazes me sometimes but Ella is so hilarious so all I can really say on this is that we're on a different ship maybe can I say that I think I can it's not a spoiler and we're following different characters than we did in Illuminae. Ella is a member of the House of Knives which is a gang a familial gang so it's through her family that she's a member of it a gang on the ship earlier on in life Ella was paralyzed on the waist down and so where she's really found her passion is through hacking on the computer she's so so talented at hacking and it plays a really big role in the story she's kind of like a secondary character she's not one of our two main characters in Gemina but she's so hilarious I would just look forward to the scenes with Ella in I'd be like racing through the pages but like where's Ella where is Ella I just need Ella that's all I want she has kind of like this tough exterior which like the booktube recommending doesn't but she's so funny and so soft at heart she's such a big heart and I just think she's one of my favorite book characters I've ever read and because of how this is told through multimedia if you don't know this whole series is kind of like through chat logs and video surveillance cameras and emails because of that like we mainly know Ella through the chat logs and so I just think it's brilliant how she becomes such a well rounded character in such a short space of time and through a medium that is very different than what we're used to so definitely pick up the illuminate series if you haven't already yet so for Ella I wanted to think of a booktuber who's editing I really enjoy because she's so good at hacking but I'm going with Sabine from Sabine's book nook I love her editing she's so incredibly talented at everything she does and she's so funny I think with Sabine I've done a couple lives with her and like I've watched I watch her videos all the time and she'll come out with lines that you don't expect and that to me is one of the funniest things not when someone makes a really obvious joke but when someone just pulls something out the bag that you did not expect I just love watching her videos because of her quick wit and she's just so funny but she also has this massive heart like Ella and her videos are just so aesthetically pleasing to watch such a joy to watch also okay linking to the tough exterior thing whatever like Sabine doesn't have a tough exterior but when I first watched her it was before I had my own booktube channel so like over a year ago I was kind of intimidated by her and I don't know why and she doesn't know this so like a profound silence has entered the chat I don't know why because she's such a warm welcoming person but I was just I just thought she was too cool for me I was very intimidated by her so that's kind of the tough exterior part that Ella has I guess but she's just lovely she's so lovely so definitely go watch her if you haven't already and then the last of my favorite characters is Tilly from Pages and Code Tilly and the Book Wonders by Anna James this is a middle grade so Tilly is a young girl she lives above her parents bookshop and Tilly starts to see characters from her favorite books but it's a really magical kids story and Tilly is very inquisitive she's always wanting to learn she loves adventure like this story is very based around that want to seek and learn and have an adventure and Tilly I just see as a very adventurous character this book just on the whole has a really cozy feeling because it's set in a bookshop and this kind of old rickety bookshop at that it just has the most cozy warm comforting feeling so for this I had to recommend a booktuber who reads a lot of middle grade and that is Jade from JD Ray reads I love Jade's vlogs I love her vlogs so much they have that cozy feeling that this has I just feel like Jade is a bit inquisitive I don't know why this could be completely wrong like I could be completely misjudging her character also she does have a tbr game called tbr pursuit which is like trivial pursuit and that feels like you're going on an adventure tbr pursuit is always nervy you never know what you're gonna get you never know what tbr pursuit is gonna turn up so it feels like you're going on a bit of an adventure when you watch it just like you go on adventures with tilly in this so I love jade's videos I watched like she's as soon as I see all of her thumbnails pop up I'm like okay I'm clicking on that she's just such a joy to watch I would definitely recommend watching her if you haven't already so there we have it that is four booktuber recommendations based off of some of my favorite book characters let me know if you watch any of these booktubers already and how much you love them because I want to hear it and I'm actually gonna be I mentioned Sabine I just realized I'm gonna be on Leonie's channel with Sabine they have a book club together and I'm gonna be the guest for their episode on the poppy wall which again I wanted to fit into this video I just couldn't find a way out so definitely go subscribe to Leonie's channel down below I'll leave that linked if you have read the poppy wall and want to join us I love the poppy wall so I cannot wait to chat all about it I've got a lot of exciting things lined up soon I'm gonna be announcing in the next couple weeks so again make sure you ring the

Today is really a great day for us, for those of you who don't know, LearningWorks has had a program, a restorative justice program for probably almost 20 years now in which young people who have to do community service because they made a mistake, made a bad choice, we take them out into the community to do all kinds of different projects to try to improve the community and use the opportunity to show them how perhaps something wrong that they did can be made right. And they go around the city and take down Graffiti. And we've done it forever. Tom Cain, who's here somewhere, was one of the originators of this, the Graffiti Cowboy, as it used to be known. But as you can also tell, Graffiti has really expanded in the community a lot. And it's become harder and harder for us to keep up with. The director of our program, Tim, who's also here in the hat back there, who's been running the program for a few years now, has never seen as many referrals as we've been getting this year, especially on his desk, just a pile this high. And because of that, we've been trying to figure out how to get some additional resources. And when Bullos came to us and said, how can we help, we basically said we need additional resources to maybe get another truck out there and another crew. And at that moment, they stepped up and they made a $45,000 donation to LearningWorks to help us staff a truck, to help us buy a truck, to help us get some awesome sign on the side of the truck, so that we can now get out there and really get ahead of the graffiti in this town, hopefully, so that we can finally start to get ahead of it. Because often what happens is we'll take it down one night and somebody may go fill it up again the next. So we need to be ever diligent in that process. So we are here really to thank Bullos for all they have done for us to make this happen and for the entire city. A couple of months ago, Drew came to speak with me and said, you know, I'm really kind of concerned about what is happening in the city with graffiti and that we're starting to see more graffiti in the city. And we talked a little bit about what the city does. The city currently funds LearningWorks for about $30,000 a year out of the city budget to remove graffiti on public and private property within the city. But as Ethan pointed out, there has been a little bit of an upsurge in the last several months of graffiti in the city. And so with this support, public-private partnership with Bullos and Company, it's going to allow us to respond to the increase graffiti that we've seen in the city. And why is this important? 8.5 million people come through the city of Portland every year. 8.5 million. And oftentimes their impression of the city is shaped by what they see on buildings and how well the city is maintained. So it's important for us to stay on top of the graffiti issue and make sure that we have the best perspective, the best picture that we can paint for all of those people that come to the city of Portland. And secondly, as Ethan pointed out, this project has the added benefit of providing job skills and a learning experience for young people that do have have been involved with the criminal justice system. So it has a very positive community impact. At the same time, we're addressing the graffiti issue. We're simultaneously assisting young people to develop job skills and a work ethic that hopefully will benefit them in the future. You know, our business is commercial real estate and our life blood is buildings. And this city of Portland has given us so much over 40 years. Whenever we show a vacant building to a prospective buyer or a tenant, we really have that one opportunity, that one impression. And it's the same with our city. As Mayor Brennan mentioned a moment ago, we have 8.5 million visitors that come to this city. We have a lot of people that are coming to potentially move their business to this city, potentially looking to move to this city. We have one opportunity to make a great impression. And we're trying to make an investment so that we can make the best possible impression when these people come to the city of Portland. The truck you see here is a symbol of our commitment to this cause and of a new partnership. It will improve Portland's commercial real estate values, help to entice more tenants and businesses to relocate, expand or launch here, and make the city more appealing to residents and tourists. National real estate experts have found that graffiti, when left to fester and multiply will eventually lead to reduction in property values in the area. That's why it's important that building owners, especially owners of commercial property in the downtown areas and in the tourist areas have an option to call on a service and remove graffiti as soon as it appears. If you two are invested in the reputation and success of this great city and care about our neighborhoods, commercial property and a bright economic future, we hope you'll join this effort. We hope today's announcement will encourage the city and other business owners and property owners to add resources, enforce the laws and volunteer to make a city a cleaner and more appealing environment. In the end, we all benefit. Reach out to the mayor to learning works or to our organization and let us know if you'd like to get involved in this project. I'm with Harold Pacius right now who's a property owner here, commercial property owner in Portland. Harold has really my sons are, but I look after my sons. Yeah.  Oh, major. Yeah. It costs them a lot of money every year. It's an interesting phenomenon. You see people here today, uh, saying they're contributing money to try to reduce the amount of graffiti in the city, talking about how it harms the image of the city. We're trying to attract business here. We're trying to track jobs and that graffiti erodes those attempts to improve the city's economy. And yet at the same time, we have a bunch of people in Portland going around trying to erode the image of the city by putting the graffiti on these buildings. They're trying to harm the effort to bring more jobs to Portland. They're trying to erode the effort to attract more tourists to Portland and they're trying to erode the possibility of people want of having a very clean and safe city. So you have a group of people who are trying to hurt the city. Do you do you believe that or do you believe that they're acting out in a way they could get attention for their needs? No, I think they know it costs tens, hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to remove the graffiti. I think they know that when people from away see that graffiti, they think it's a deteriorating city. No, I think they know that but they're so selfish that they want to do the damage because it makes them feel better. It's vandalism. The thing that I see I don't want to excuse you.  I don't buy that at all. I think one of the things that I see missing here though or maybe some of the graffiti artists to have a voice in why they are doing this, maybe have a discussion. No, no, no. I don't care why they're doing it. It's harmful. If they you mean to say the only way they can express themselves, the only way they can have a meaningful life and an opportunity in life is to go destroy people's property. That's garbage. No, I don't believe that but I do believe that dialogue about the city including everyone who's part of that city and that includes the graffiti artists. I have dialogue with them, you know. Dialogue. Oh, just talk to me and I won't do it again. Okay. Thank you, Harold, for making it clear how you feel. You're welcome. I'm here with Justin who is not only is he a student at Learning Works in the YBA program but he's also an intern on the working on this graffiti project. Hi, Justin. Hi. This is kind of exciting for you, isn't it? Yes, it is. It's giving you another option in going forward with your life to learn about some of the things happening in the city and doing something about it. Yes. Tell me why you wanted to be an intern in this program. Well, I ended up doing it with a community service and I ended up liking it. I think it's pretty easy. It's pretty fun and it's helping out the community to clean it up so it makes our city look better. That's a good thing. So have you ever known any graffiti artists? No. I mean, I've seen plenty of it around town, same tags and everything. What did you think about it before? Before you got involved and realized that people who own these buildings are not happy with that? Well, with the good tags, the really artistic ones, I think those look pretty cool and I think they actually attract more people but with all these like swear words and everything around, I just think it makes our town look nasty. Kind of trashy. Yeah. Well, thank you for the effort you're putting into this. You're welcome. And do you get to drive the truck? I don't. I don't have my license yet but when I do get my license, hopefully. I hope so too. Thank you, Justin. Thank you. Well, I'm with Mayor Brennan now. Hello. Hi. This is an exciting day for the Learning Works community as well as the community of Portland. One thing you did say is that it's a community effort. And one of the people standing with me today mentioned that the police department wasn't here. Is there a reason for that that they weren't represented? Not at all. That we really saw this as an opportunity to promote the fact that we have a public-private partnership with Bolson Company. They had a special occasion of their 40th anniversary. Drew came in and said, Hot, can we contribute to the community? And he mentioned the fact that graffiti, he had seen a rise of it in the city of Portland. And so the partnership with Learning Works in the city and with Bolas seemed to be a natural. Yeah. And I love the idea of the community rising up to meet some of the demands of the city and the city. It's not all on the city. That's right. That's correct. And that's why we always like partnerships like this because it expands our capacity. I mean, just today we're now going to have another whole truck. We're going to have additional youth that are going to be able to participate in the program. And our ability to respond is going to double. So there's no downside to that. And now your office has to get busy seeing who else has an anniversary coming up. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. And we wish everybody in the city of Portland that had a significant anniversary to celebrate that they would do it in terms of trying to make a contribution to the city. I think it's a lovely idea and the call is out to the community right now. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. I'm now with Drew Sigmundsen. Sigmundsen. Sigmundsen. See, I knew I was going to do that. Who represented the Bolas Company. What a gift to the city and to the people of this city. Well, thank you. It's really, from our perspective, we feel as if it's not enough, but it's a step in the right direction. And this city has given us so much as a company and as individuals we're trying to give something back in a way that reflects our business. And so helping to protect and clean properties in the city of Portland is something that's near and dear to our heart. And what a way to celebrate an anniversary. You've been here for so many years and have your, you know, logo is everywhere on buildings when they come up for sale or rent and to see you really taking an active interest and what makes more sense than to get graffiti off of the buildings. That's what we, that's what we thought. We thought it was really a good fit between what we do on a day-to-day basis, what our clients do on a day-to-day basis, and we've heard so much frustration really from property owners and our clients, where every morning they have to go and paint the walls in front of their entrances because they were tagged the night before. And we wanted to just help support them in that ongoing effort and try to augment the efforts a little bit as well.


investment activities are are involved with typically financing activities financing the business the financing the business happens through the owner financing it and through the loans so equity section and loans and then the total cash flow the end of the total cash flow should tie out to the balance sheet so cash and cash equivalents at the beginning cash and cash equivalents at the end 57 790 60 and that should be the the checking account so I think it might be the 6407 5.98 minus the the credit card 900 minus the 900.95 statement of cash flows no that's not it why see we have a PayPal account in here that's a liability let's try it again so it's the 6407 5.98 minus this overdrawn PayPal account minus the 6285.3857790 so 57790 okay that's how it ties in all right let's see what other reports we have we could talk about the statement of cash flows all day so statement of owner's equity could break out more detail on the balance sheet if you need more detail there which you met you might depending on how complex of owner's equity you have then you've got your payables and receivables now remember that most of these reports are going to give you more information about one or multiple line items on the balance sheet or the income statement so it can be a little bit overwhelming to look at these reports but just remember that there's just usually going to give you just more information about the primary reports also just note that the balancing of the income statement also through the edit layout tab gives you a lot of capacity to do comparative reports comparing like one period to another period subtracting the two periods you can compare quarter to quarter current year to the prior year and that kind of stuff so you've got the aged payables these will give you more information about the about the liability of accounts payable showing who you owe the money to and then you've got the aged receivables which show you who owes you money and how overdue the receivables are income and expense by by contact these reports gives you more information about your profit and loss and this is why in particular with the income side of things we don't usually break out the income by who we got the money from we did this time because we had gig work and it's a little bit different but usually you don't want to have all your customers broken out on the income statement one reason is because it'll be too long another reason is because you can get that information with other reports like for example possibly this income and expense report and similar on the expense side that's also why we'll keep it at that so payable invoice detail that gives more information about the accounts receivable because or the accounts payable the payable invoice summary the receivable invoice detail so these are given more information about the accounts receivable and accounts payable accounts you would only have if you're deviating from a cash based system because of the industry that you're in the reconciliation reports primarily the primary one being the bank reconciliation that we take a look at when we constructed on the bank reconciliation noting that these reports are a little bit different than the other reports in that their internal control type of reports and zero the way zero puts them in here we're kind of building these even as we do the data input as well it's built a little bit differently than other software like QuickBooks online but even still this is it's a bit different of a report because you're really showing the reconciliation
