Hey everyone, welcome to Echo Calypso. Today we're going to be tackling team building basics. This is all you need to know where to start, how to do it. This is basically in sequence. So once you have, you know, you have started the game, most probably you'll be starting off with one SSR, two probably if you're very lucky. So let's go to your deployment. Okay, so once you consider one to three of your SSRs from the start, but take note that you might be able to deploy more than three in the future. Okay, so consider SSRs because number one, they are your core. Normally your SSRs would be composed mainly of DPS to start because most often, most often you will have SSRs, DPS SSRs that are very good. Okay, so all of us got Fenriru of course. So it's actually cause for you to start your SSRs with a DPS. So I built my team starting with Fenriru, Yulia as a tank, then Kiki as another DPS. So consider your SSRs first. The remaining will be SSRs. I won't recommend any SSRs at this point, but the remaining slots in your lineup will be more or less SSR, sorry SSRs. Considering that you have to think about the link for each of your cases. Okay, this is the link. The link gives you a lot of buffs for a specific case. So if you activate links, as you can see here, these ones, these cases here activate the links for the case that you are using. So this case might be used in your team or might be used in your assist roster. Okay, so to activate them, you have to put them on the team itself, the six man team here, or you put them in the assist here. Okay, so consider the link. The link is very important. It's not really the nature of the game is not really to let you bring a lot of SSRs and just plow through everything. So the key here is to establish the best link possible for the best team. So again, it would be a rare case that all of your cases would be SSRs. But again, consider the link system. I'll go through my end. So again, going through Snezana. So Ferriero, I'm using these two are in my assist. Nanook is in my assist for Yulia. So Snezana is in the team. Of course, I don't have Audrey and I can at this point. So they're not giving me link bonuses for this is for Yori. For Yori, I have Senko in my team, I have Pavaratin assist, and I don't have Taura yet yet. So that is basically what I have in a nutshell. And again, Kiki here only has one link because I have Fenriru in the team. So it's good that you're bringing both of them because they also participate in the same link. Okay. And for Senko on my fourth DPS, so Yori, Snezana, Orvati and Lalyanling are in my assist. So again, take, consider your links, consider putting them in your team or putting them in your assist bar here. Okay. So next would be your leader buff. This one will come into play later once you have more or less a lot of SSRs. But for now, I was able to trigger to these are SSRs of the same faction in your squad. So they trigger additional type of buff. So as you can see, I have a plus 90 attack on all units. So as you unlock as you deploy more SSRs, which is rare, you can deploy a lot, but your link will also suffer. So technically, your link and your leader buff should be a balance of who to deploy in your team. Okay. So that is it. So as far as composition is concerned, my ideal scenario would be at least one tank. So I have Yula here as my tank. I have one healer here, which is Yori. And I have four DPS. You may swap out one DPS. Like for example, if I want to swap out Senko, I can change her to probably another support. Whatever you need, because that is what I'm planning. This team is enough for three DPS. I don't need a fourth DPS, but Senko here has has a lot of links. So once I get more SSRs coming in, I'd probably swap her out and place her in the assist column here. Okay. So that is my ideal team composition. This is very flexible, but the one healer and one tank, that's non-negotiable. The rest, you could actually tweak it to suit what the content is and who you're playing up against. Okay.  So these are, this is your assist right? Switching. Now this is your artifact. So most of you are already, what do you call this, are familiar with artifacts. They trigger depending on the sequence on auto. So if you put here the crown of Baal, then this will trigger first. Then the last one is a glyph, which gives heal. This will trigger last, especially if you're in auto. If you're in manual, you can actually trigger any of the artifacts here. So if you want to go through auto, I would suggest you go first with artifacts which give you buffs. So as you can see here, crown of Baal is first because I want to give my team buffs and the rest is history. The next one is Levathane. Not sure if I read that right, but it has a burn. So I'd like to put that also up front. The next one, this has 60% chance on the target with the highest HP percentage lasting for one round. And also try to put in healing glyph, healing artifact because if you have a tank, usually your tank, for example for Yulia's case, she has taunt, then usually her HP goes down quick. This one is going to save her. So that is why I have a healing artifact here. And the final one, just to tell you more about guys is the battle sequence, team placement, because debuffs and buffs and healing would come into play. The reason why I put this here, Kiki, nothing special. She's there for DPS, first initial DPS. Yulia is here because I want her to take more damage in front, Kiki and Fenriru as well. So Yulia is your tank, your taunt. So she has to be up front and she has to dish out the taunt as early as possible. Fenriru is here for another DPS. So your first line is technically for DPS because this battle sequence will be one, two, three. So first line going from up to down, one, two, three. Then the next action would be the back line would be four, five, six. So from top to bottom as well. So I put Iori here because Iori has defensive skills. So let's check out Iori. So for Iori here, this is what I mean. So raises her shield and heals all allies. If you need a quick heal, she's your fourth one to act. And there's a 50% chance to increase armor resistance by 20 for two allies with the lowest HP for two so that is why she's there. Another, what do you call this? Another option that you might want to swap in if we're talking about lineup is Rinkin. She is also a healer but if you can check her out, her skill here, this is giving a buff, attack buff to all allies. So the reason why I also can put Rinkin there because I would want to make sure that the last two DPSers have buffs before they act. Okay, so that is an option. Make sure that you read what they are giving your team because the action of this is a continuous action from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. In terms of the sequence that they'll be doing, I'm just going to go back to Iori for this one. So there you go. So don't be afraid guys to swap out. Let's say for example, you go back here. So you have Iori. If you want to swap out with somebody or someone or some of your cases, where is she? Let's say just an example, Garula. So swap upgrades of Iori in Garula. You can replace, just replace because they will carry over the upgrades to the one that you're bringing in. So that's one good thing about this game which I really appreciate. Again, going back to the battle sequence, placement is key. Buffs, debuffs, healing, who goes first is I think the most customizable feature that we have in battle.  Preferably they are here in the fourth place which is upper back row.  So again, that is it guys. That is the battle sequence team placement. Next after this video, I'll be creating a gearing guide for all of you. So far, that's it. That is your basic team building guide on how to go through your roster, go through your assist. Take note here that I have two slots of assist to be filled out. I just need more SSRs to come in so that I could activate some of the links here. The links are important and also what is important is you activate your assist. So the last one is activated at level 50. Okay guys, so that is it. So hopefully this team building basic helped you and would be able to give you an idea on how to swap out in and out your lineups and tweak your lineups. So thank you very much guys, take care, stay safe. This is The Warden and I'm out of here.


Welcome to the second day of the CNI conference, second morning, the hangover morning. I'm Todd Grapone, I'm associate university librarian at University of California Los Angeles and with me is Atricia Cruz who's at California Digital Library heading up the UC3, the data curation center at CDL. We're going to talk a little bit about a project that we've been working on for the past few months. It's a tool that we're developing to create data management plans, a simple online web form. Atricia and I are going to speak for, make some brief comments hopefully 10 to 15 minutes and then we really wanted to have an opening open discussion about the tool and it's what it's going to be and what it's not going to be. We're hoping to really engage the audience in that. We're really at a very formative stage in the tool development and we feel that getting some feedback right now where we are is really going to help us in our tool development. I'm really going to talk a little bit about the tool and what we hope to do, get some background for you and Trish is going to show some screenshots of the tool itself and hopefully that'll get us talking about the tool. So we've really been as an industry sort of talking about data for the past few years and we've been talking about it in a number of different ways and it really occurred to me as the NSF came up with their requirements in January. This was one of the real substantive ways that data is going to have an impact on the way scholarship is managed, the way the grant application is managed, this new requirement really forces people to consider these resources they create as part of their scholarship right up front and so we're taking that opportunity to provide some simple tools for the users and hopefully give them some ways, new ways to think and use their data. So what is it about data? You know it's sort of like this is kind of how we feel when we think about data. We're lion tamers out there working with large eScience data, lots and lots of digital humanities projects that produce lots and lots of small data sets. I would like to mention this data management plan online tool we're creating is a collaboration of eight institutions within the UC system. We've got UCLA, UCSD, CDL, but we also have folks from outside the UC system, University of Illinois, the Smithsonian Institution, University of Virginia and the Digital Curation Center. Am I missing anyone? Okay, but yeah so that's kind of how we approach it. You know the lion tamer metaphor I think is working really well for us now we're beyond the humor piece. So a little bit about the development so far. You know this all began with the Digital Curation Center in the United Kingdom had been working with their funders to create their own online tool and so I believe the requirements from funding bodies in the UK have been a little more established than they are here in the US and so they had been increasingly asking for these plans the DCC developed this tool and the tool is not only to develop a plan for stewardship how to manage but also stewardship of the data that's often irreplaceable so the DCC developed an online tool for use in creating plans for scholars. The tool is basically a comprehensive list of plan details that are required by various funding bodies. It allows a scholar to complete relevant portions to create a comprehensive plan according to their their needs and the funders needs. Now that we've got similar requirements coming in the United States we thought it was a good idea to look at their model and try to replicate some of the services here and if you look at the makeup of our group you'll realize that it's not just a .edu issue it's really an issue for all kinds of research and scholarly bodies museums and libraries as well as anyone who gets funding from a body that requires these plans and really the plan is a way for us as IT and library professionals to insinuate ourselves into the data discussion you know we are information organization professionals and I think I think historically the NSF has recognized a nice role for the libraries in what in the work they fund and that this is simply another way of them sort of saying that the library does have a role in the scholarship process and they like to see us involved. So they goal of the project is to streamline the process to produce a credible and high quality plan for managing data to develop a plan for managing data it's eight institutions coming together to develop a flexible online tool to help researchers generate data management plans leveraging the work of the data management plan online from the DCC and the tool development that we will do have multiple phases. Our goal is to have a usable tool that creates consistent usable data management plans because right now planning is pretty inconsistent the plans themselves I think if you read the requirements they're open to interpretation what the tool will do is allow people to interpret those rules respond to them with inline online help at the same time so institutions they do rely a lot on soft funding agencies have created a new demand in this data management planning piece and you need to meet the planner you don't get funded and so we decided to work collaboratively to consolidate expertise and reduce costs and really the goal of the tool is to begin helping researchers focus on the research not so much on requirements really taking some of the administrative piece away from the grant application process. So these are basically the components of data management plan you know it requires you to have content characteristics so you know a bit about your data you know what standards your data will live and work under access to that data you know what sort of governance that you see is important in sharing and reuse policies as well as archiving and data archiving so the funding agencies you know they have these data sharing requirements so do a lot of places you would publish so it's really you know it's really becoming an emerging issue for a lot of folks and we're hoping that the tool we create is going to be flexible enough to meet all these needs. A little bit about what it looks like at UCLA and this is just why I wanted to kind of give you an overview of how we see the data management plan working into the grant application process at a place like UCLA just to sort of give some background and ways to think about working with offices of contracts and grants or vice chancellors for research that sort of thing and we do have an office of contracts and grants at UCLA that oversees the process of applying for grants we will use this tool to insinuate data management into that process so by the application of necessary and usable tools we hope to influence the process of grant application at the policy level you know why do we really want to do that well first of all people need to need to develop these plans and historically the IT and library infrastructures of the institutes we represent don't really know what grants are being applied for what grants have necessarily been received on campus what the IT and data requirements are for those grants this is we hope that this is one salvo into getting us involved in that discussion so that as as grants are applied for as they're received on campus we may we can provide usable tools for people to comply with the data management plans as part of those grants and hopefully we can put some business intelligence and and do some planning of our own around what kind of research might be going on on campus and hopefully with this information we can determine what kind of what what data curation means for us and what kind of services we need to develop on campus the tool itself I think one thing to note you know from a UC perspective is that the tool should be flexible and open enough for us to integrate with other UC campuses and requirements so as things like easy ID develop and we work this into the we work this DMP tool into the grant application process you know you can see a shining path down the road whereas each grant is applied for they receive an ID and we begin to track them from application to funded project to published work with the same tools and we've been able to get the attention of research vice chancellors as well as the UC office of the president you cop to talk to us about this data data component of grant application so they're very interested in the work we're doing they're very interested in how they might utilize the work we're doing within their own administrative structure and I think one of the things that I took away from what Chris Borgman was talking about yesterday was really the the integration of technology and policy this is exactly the kind of thing this is exactly the integration of technology and policy I think that has a chance to open up some doors for us so step a little bit higher here and talk a little bit about what we kind of what we hope this DMP becomes so you know we feel that not only is their value in creating plans tailored for the individual scholarship but there's great value be gained by the larger world of scholarship from gathering and connecting these data plans we have a vision of a deep rich resource where funders and researchers can see what previous work has been done what previous work has gone on and in a perfect world where data standards and practices are known and can be used to influence project planning so within the data tool you'll be able to see previous plans you'll be able to see model plans that will include things like data standards hopefully some of these standards serendipitously will make it into new plans and that promise of standardization gets one step closer to reality but scattered collaborators require integration and tools some of the issues that affect research is metadata a reliable framework for mining multimodal data search engines and analytical tools and we believe that the DMP will become part of that research administration of landscape and hopefully part of the research landscape as well so this is the piece where I close my my talk and turn it over to Trish who's going to talk a lot more about the actual data management plan and we can talk more about my stuff later I just want to say that the data management plan is really not important it's the data that's important the data management planning tool is simply a means to an end and what we hope to get out of it is to provide a way to handle asynchronous long-lived conversations around data with our faculty on campus okay we're gonna shift gears a wee bit here and and drill down and take a look at the data management planning tool itself and when Todd said that we want your feedback and we want your help in shaping this tool is I would suggest it's to your benefit because this is something that is going to be available to the community at large both as a hosted service that you can come and use or you can take the code away and shape that yourself so it's really something that we think is is a service to not just the partners but to the community as a whole so basically as Todd said the DMP tool as we're calling it it will produce an editable document for submission to a funding agency that somebody who has to submit to NSF or NIH they can get a document and they can append that to their grant and they can go ahead and submit that phase one will provide the foundation for future releases it's really I would say it doesn't have all the bells and whistles we'd like to see right off the bat but we do think it builds a foundation for adding bells and whistles as we go forward and it will allow us to accommodate versions as funding requirements change this is early days January 18th was the day that NSF declared that that you had to submit a data management plan we don't know how those are going to be judged we need to remain nimble we need to create a tool that's going to allow us to to respond to that changing community and also be able to respond to new stakeholders that want to use the tool that want to contribute to the tool as I said it's it's going to be open sourced on bit bucket a little bit later I have a URL where the bit bucket places where you can go and look at the requirements you can take those away you can think about those yourself and one of the most important things in phase one of the tool that that was a drop dead requirement is the partner institutions needed to have the ability to do local branding and to contribute local resources when in this current economic environment it's really important for the for the libraries and the and the people involved in this to say this is happening on our campus in our library how can we help you and the tool itself it's not just all about technology and it's really taking intellectual input from librarians from experts on how to manage data and integrating that with technology in order to help the user and we see that there's four types of users of the data management plan or for and administrators or actors or whatever your word is for it there's number one is the researcher number two is the editor three is the funder and four is the institution and I'm going to go through some of those to give you an idea of how they might use the tool so in the next few screens I'm going to be showing you some wireframes that we've created for the tool based on the requirements these are as I said they're just wireframes so there's there might be typos there the text is going to change etc but I think it it will give you a better idea of what we're talking about so if a researcher wants to create a data management plan let's say we're talking about a researcher from the University of California wanting to create a data management plan this will be the first page they see the top there'll be some sort of branding that says this is the data management planning tool it'll tell you who can use the tool how the tool works and how to start on the other side of the screen and these a lot of these items will remain constant throughout all of the data management planning tool you'll see help we think help is going to be a big issue in this tool both help for the researcher what is a data management plan and also for librarians and and other stakeholders as they're learning to enter into this space I think it's it's we need to come together and and provide that level of help sample plans that's what we hear about already all the time can you just give me a sample plan that I can copy sure we want to be able to create a place where a lot of good and bad and just straight ahead data management plans can live the other thing we're going to do is create a news resource this will done be done be a WordPress will have various WordPress feeding into the news resource talking about what's happening with funding agencies what's happening maybe at institutions if there's another resource out there that we need to take a look at so once somebody has said okay I'm going to use this data management planning tool and they start to log on they get to this second screen and this is where they are asked to select the institution that they're working with and so that's and once they select that institution they get branding and in this case UCLA the UCSD libraries but also the UC libraries as a whole and the California Digital Library coming together to present this tool but as I said this is going to be a tool that's open to anybody can come and use this tool and they will get the generic branding but if you're a use a partner in this project you're an affiliated with one of the partner institutions you'll get additional help and links to resources that are at your own local institution so it's it's it's you'll get that extra level of help and also contact information for personal help the login screen will look slightly different once you select your institution because every institution has its own authentication system so I and I present this just because it's it's not a fancy screen or anything like that but it's one of the realities that we're dealing with in building the tool some people use shibboleth some people use LDAP so we really need to to be able to provide for that so now our user has logged in they've entered there there it's a return user and so this is what they're going to see they'll be presented with a view of their work and the options that are available to them number one do you want to create a new plan and so you'll see a drop-down box with all the various funding agencies that we have included in the data management plan itself and the NSF and the various NSF directorates but also NIH, IMLS and other funding agencies if you have an existing plan you can go back and then the second one there is an existing plan that you can see the status of you provided responses for four out of the five questions you can go in and finish that plan you can edit it or generate it meaning you want to finish it and take it away delete it comment on it if you're working with other people on creating this data management plan if you're working with a team they can come in and look at that and comment and and work together on it you can also publish that plan that's that part where you want to make that available to generally to the community at large the third option there and I think this is is going to be interesting to see how this actually works but I think it's a very important concept let's say that this researcher created a data management plan they submitted it to an agency and maybe they want to go back and use that plan again but you see that alert right there that says oh this agency has made some changes you know you need to think about it here's a link to the new agency requirements that you're probably going to want to take a look at so you can go back and make those needed changes on the far side of the screen you'll see the news again that's going to remain constant in on the generic pages so let's say that user is moving forward and said okay I'm going to create a new plan and so this is just a generic screen on creating the plan up top you'll see the plan type that's going to be created the question text etc you'll see the progress through the plan and and how far how far along you are but let's look at that other side of the screen and remember when I said if you're an organization and you'll have access to specialized help etc so you're the resources there are your institutions resources let's say at UCLA or UCSD you have prepared a tremendous amount of information on data management planning this is going to be the place to link to that information and inform that user about that information also I think and this is going to be very key is if your institution has a tool that can be used as part of the data management plan for example UC San Diego uses chronopolis this is where they can put a link to chronopolis the CDL we have a tool called merit it's our repository services this we can put merit or easy idea one of our services there this is also where you can have resources for the funder if the funder has specific information on this question or general information and then finally help on this specific question so let's look at it a little bit more nuanced version of that a little bit more filled out so this question is what is the period of retention for your data and this is the the help text from our colleagues at UVA who have are going through the NSF engineering directorate and building the tool for this you can see that the person is answered three questions or three of the progress through the plan there's the question help down at the bottom text that can be incorporated and then to the side you'll see the resources that are available the data management resources at UC or the funders or to the question specific help so again we think that it's really pulling all of that information together in one place the other thing that is going to be available to the researcher is you know and I kind of think that this is just give me the money kind of thing just show me what it is I have to do I just want to preview what those what the funding agencies are asking for select the funding agency to see its data management plan requirements and again this is pulling together just that succinct information to say you need to do X Y and Z and again I think it's will help the researchers begin to understand what the requirements are and what it is they need to do and again on the other side you'll see resources that are appropriate to this so that's just the screenshots in a nutshell of and I didn't go through all of them obviously because there's the generation of the plan itself and the format etc and I just want to summarize for this user type one what they can do when they use the the DMP tool they can establish an account view sample plans preview the funder requirements create save edit publish a plan view and use past plans that have been successful or not successful they can use help both generic help and at the institutional level and then view news and and latest changes and so this in this case it's a data one researcher and you can see there's a little corny mock-up of a data one DMP tool with I slapped the logos on them so the second type of user or actor is the editor and I think in a sense this is kind of the heart and soul of the data management planning tool this kind of the groovy editor and the editors roles and responsibilities are to create and maintain those funder templates to monitor what the funder is asking for that if there's a new funder that comes on on the horizon that the partners are interested in interacting with and creating a data management plan for they can create a new funder template if there's a new version as we saw in the data management planning tool if an agency changes you need to update and create a new version of that tool that's something that the editor will do and creating the question text and the accompanying help with that question text revise and edit as necessary and the editor is from a partner institution and we really need to trust this person because what they do is going to apply to everybody in the partnership and anybody who is using the tool so it's it's a big responsibility they have and so that's I'm listing all of the different people who will be contributing in this editor role down there at an institutional level I want to talk to really briefly that's a third type of user or person who will provide input on the tool and it's a range of partners I think as Todd was sharing in his earlier comments at an institutional level you have the libraries administrative offices data centers faculty and researchers interacting with this tool and on the UC campus it's the sponsor projects office the contracts and grants contracts and grants people don't want to be bothered with creating a data management plan they don't they don't have that expertise they're happy to work with us on that and they want to contribute to that the office of research the same UC last year received over six hundred million dollars in NSF funding they're very aware of this new requirement and they think it's going to be a competitive edge if we put something together that is going to help researchers get their data management plan out the door without having to get tangled up in all the details also IP the tech transfer people last week I got a call from the UCOP which is the main administrative offices for UC saying we hear there's this data management planning tool and what's our the IP issues related to it okay great so I you know I think there's a lot of people coming together in this area and it's it's and the why I have libraries bolded is because as a neutral and a neutral service organization on the campus I think we're uniquely positioned to bring these these various partners together to work together in new ways and collaborate the faculty that this is Jim Carey from UC Davis he is we've been working with him a lot on he's been submitting grants to NIH and NSF and he's given us an opportunity to really step back and think what do faculty need in this space and he's been very helpful the institution their roles will to create and maintain relevant information resource links to resources on their campuses institution specific information and tools and local help when necessary also generate reports so imagine if you're at UC and you have you have this somewhat database of all of the materials that have been submitted or data management plans that have been generated to the NSF engineering directorate for example you can go in there and look and get a good idea of what kind of data is going to be generated and if it's something that the University of California is going to have to manage for the long term I think it'll it'll help it's a first step in trying to understand what that's going to look like and also the institutions are going to be users of that tool so the fourth type of user is a funder and I think that this is going to be the trickiest one and one that we do hope will contribute to the tool whether directly or indirectly we think it's it's crucial to have funders be able to communicate with us about change to existing requirements or new requirements we're going to be very very dependent on that and we would love to engage those funders in such a way that we can have easy access to the information and that they can add resources about a specific funding program. As I said that we're going to start off with the NSF general data management plan but then drill down into the various directorates NIH we will also be creating a data management plan for that IMLS and the partners are coming together to brainstorm okay what are some of the other agencies USGS I know is very busy on creating their own requirements EPA DOE etc so these are early days but I think we need to figure out what what other agencies we're going to tackle. Just really quickly this is very tiny print but I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to the team who are coming together to create this data management planning tool where again as as Todd said we're working with the DCC I'm really taking a lot of the thought that they put into their tool and recalibrating it for use in the US and they are continuing to work with us and it's great because Martin Donnelly who's on our team he'll say you know I wish we would have done differently and so yes so we were kind of at that opportunity where we can we can do a next-generation tool. We're also working with the data one folks are on our team as well as as developers with that at the California Digital Library but then also UC San Diego is thinking about it from an intellectual perspective of what a data management plan needs to look like and UI you see somebody from their campus CIO office who is thinking about the authentication piece which we're very happy somebody's thinking about so this is where we turn to all of you and we we do recognize that these are early days and that building a tool that will satisfy the local and the general is going to be really tricky and it's going to be difficult to bring all those stakeholders together and get and get funder participation but we hope the tool will be available soon and we invite the group to participate both in helping us shape the tool and inform the tool etc and use the tool so I turn it over to all of you for questions at this point. Sharon asked when the tool is going to be ready we're hoping that the technology behind the tool is not too complex and so we're hoping to have something out the door in the next two to three months so and one thing that we would really like to ask the community to help us with is testing so that's not just our own internal testing but testing by the community at large and providing feedback so if anybody wants to volunteer for that we're happy to have some testers so. There's a lot of information that goes into these data management plans so we're you know what what we have to do is bring together a lot of institutional resources to develop the in line in context help and so that's you know part of it is programming but a lot of it really is the administrative information that needs to go into these plans and the and the help pieces that demystify what a data management plan is and help people really understand sort of the core requirements and allow them to develop a plan I think effectively and as quickly as possible so that's really a big piece. So we sample plans is right on the front screen and then under the DMP resources at the top that's where we anticipate that we'll have some sample plans and what's really surprising in within you see we've you know already cranked out a bunch of these data management plans and we've asked oh would you mind sharing those oh yeah no not at all great so we've seen people really wanting to share those correct yes I was wondering for the for those institutions that are not one of the listed institutions will there maybe could say a little bit more about whether the say I I don't have a repository if I'm from an institution that doesn't have to set up a repository or various services that for hosting and storing and preserving my data will there are you acting aren't you collaborating and coordinating sort of what's kind of what kind of services could be offered collectively through the people who are promoting this plan we haven't talked too much about that directly but I think among our various institutions we do have a lot of resources but also so I think collectively we will be able to offer services to the community to actually manage and store that data but also we think it's important to point to archives that are already existing within the community so for example data one as it starts to build itself up data conservancy those are places where we can point people to as a solution to share their data or open context for archaeological data etc so yes I think that will be part of what we do is providing those resources for actually managing the data and not just producing the plan yeah that seems like a really useful thing because I can't think of any other place that has a collecting point for what one of my solutions what can I do other questions has there been a need talk about costing models for once you have your data management plan approved as part of your grant what kind of charges would we be able would it help us to figure out what needs to go into the grant because once these data management plans are planned and accepted it's going to cost money to for the researcher to actually put them into practice and keep them up is there been any talk about costing models you take that then I'll follow it okay what we're trying to do at UCLA is as we go through the Office of Contracts and Grants the workflow by which the faculty member will apply for a grant will if they have a data management requirement they'll also get a series of questions about IT requirements and as our goal is to take both of those pieces of information through the process and when the grant is awarded there will be some knowledge on campus of what that footprint might look like for the purposes of the Office of Information Technology in the library in order to do some forecasting as to what kind of services we anticipate coming on to campus and that I think that's a really important question in that so the plans that we've already helped on we have a our own repository and we work with the researcher to understand how much data they're going to be generated just a best guess and then we can give them a cost estimate on what it will cost to have their data in the repository for one year two year three years etc. and so the I was very surprised in the people that we've worked with and have given them a cost number that they are like oh okay great you know they're happy just to have something that then they take that and plug that into the budget of their grant we within the University of California we really the working with the folks at UCSD and UCLA we really want to kind of come up with the United picture of what that costing looks like and I think we see that as as a task that we need to talk about sooner rather than later so but we have the pieces we just need to fit them together thank you may have said this and I may have missed it so forgive me if I'm asking something you covered but are you keeping track of plan revisions are you keeping track of commentary that might come back on plans or any rejected plans for lack of a when you say plan revisions do you mean versions yeah versions or you know if there's an early review and commentary versions of plans we will keep track of we can associate versions of various plans but it's going to be up to the person who submitted the grant to come back and supply that information on and we would love to hear that and that's something that you know we will will push on and I think that's a that's a great point to think about how we can get feedback and comments on the grants and have that in the if there's anything on the data management plan to include that yeah the exemplars yeah that's a good point just I was just wondering with the kind of a distributed model for updating and developing it like you were saying it a partner might be editing across all of the different instances I was wondering how you were going to synchronize that or update each separate install well and Todd wants to jump in here is we will have a production environment and a staging environment and we'll sync up and I we have not worked out the details of this yet but I imagine we'll say our will publish a new version of the tool you know once a month or as needed and all of that material that's in stage will move to production I think it will probably be a pretty straightforward process and do you envision opening it up to a lot of other institutions than our partners right now oh absolutely and that's like I said that we this will be an open source piece of code that can be used by anybody and our feeling is during phase one we just kind of want to get something out the door and scope it and then I think we'll kind of step back and say what new partners do we want to bring in and we would be happy to do that at that point to have more contributors contributing to the tool I would agree with that I think the the tool itself will be strengthened by the number of by each participating partner you know it's really a tool that becomes better as the more people use it hopefully we bring more examples about well-written plans more talk about data standards and practices across partner institutions and that hopefully will help us in the long run facilitate more data discussions I think this is really pretty cool this is a tool in the largest sense right so you have the data management plan tool that can be used to generate a plan but you've got all these resources around it so it's really a tool in the largest sense so the question related to sort of partners I think I heard you say members or affiliations so is your model that the partners would help develop the product or are you talking about sort of partners in this particular instance who would then be able to be trusted editors to contribute to this instance or would they it would be partners who help develop it and then the sources open and everybody else sort of takes on those different roles themselves what's your vision there I think all of those things are true I mean if you look at right now when we talk about partners we're talking about you know university libraries who are developing university libraries and museums who are developing data management plans for their faculty but we're also talking about participants who are editors within that process and these can be it personnel they can be folks in the library they can be people in administrative services but we're also talking about the funding agencies themselves going in and helping us develop and formulate the tool I think some partners will contribute code some partners will contribute information about plans some partners will help us keep the information about what requirements are current so we really think that as the tool grows these these roles will become very clear and as you access the tool to create a particular plan you'll be confident that the information you're receiving and the help you get is current up to date and exactly what you need is for creating this plan for this particular funding agency based on your personal needs within your school intellectual property and how this tool might relate to patent applications or commercial outcomes so each well so the tool will allow you to create a plan it is tied to your institutional identification you know you'll have to log in plans that are created are not by default made public so I think if you created a plan and you wanted to keep that plan as you would any piece of information about a patent application or project that's going to lead to some patented information you would you would treat that like you would any other piece of information that you would put in and put through the grant process so there's the plan itself but our when I was on the phone last week with the tech transfer people at OP they were getting really nervous that there was intellectual property that was going to be generated as part of a grant that's always been there and so and that's what I stress to the tech transfer office that this is nothing new the intellectual property issues of data that are generated as part of a grant you know it's it's always been a reality but I think when it becomes a little bit more focused a little bit more framed in terms of there's this piece of data that you need to save and share that's when the university gets a little bit nervous and so I think one of the things that we really want to do is to kind of tamp down that nervousness is to have them involved in this process from the get-go have them feeding and helping us shape the tool and I was quite pleased that they reached out to us and and because they they they're they're the experts and they can add that language about data sharing and intellectual property issues so other questions yes hi could you clarify a little bit more your response to the cost model question in because the way it was answered it sounded so you're just talking about storage costs not curation costs that's a that's a really good point and so within the University of California we are very much hoping to work together to keep our costs down and we're in the at the California Digital Library and the UC curation Center we have modeled our costs and we have a better understanding of what what those costs are but to the UC community our goal is to only charge for storage and so the the the cost for the actual management and the curation of the data that's something that we we at the California Digital Library are prepared to subsidize but the again these are early days and those are things that that we want to work with our partners on to better understand what that cost model will look like going forward so and yeah everybody when I don't know if we were talking about this last night is when Princeton came out with the data space saying if you pay 8,500 dollars you can store your well how much data was it half a gigabyte or I don't know half of something forever for 8,500 dollars we thought we heard from a lot of people that that was really compelling and so we would like to come up with a number that says if you pay us a million dollars we'll keep your data your terabyte of data safe forever so you know I think again we need to kind of get out our start doing some math and trying to figure out what that's going to look like so a couple of a couple of things over the past year or so I've been looking at data me and a few people have been looking at data on the UCLA campus trying to get a handle on what what researchers are producing where they're storing where it might be how much there is how many data closets are on campus and you know to anyone who's gonna start a process like that don't it's it's just been quite eye-opening the amount and lack of oversight you know really the information that I could get from our faculty based on their scholarship was really eye-opening and I think if we are to be successful with data curation or have data services as a as a library or a library IT combination it all begins with us kind of knowing what the data landscape on campus looks like in order for us to sit down and create what kind of tools and services that might fit on campus this data management planning tool is simply one step and one step that that can't be avoided by people developing scholarship on campus they need to create these data plans now for certain funding agencies this is the really I think one of the first times we've been able to go in and get some real requirements some real knowledge about projects as the projects develop as opposed to as you know after the fact you know I've published this here library please take it so I think you know the the notion of us working within that administrative workflow hopefully will lead to a much more a much deeper knowledge of what actually goes on on campus and so that hopefully will allow us then to create custom services for our own campuses based on the actual scholarship that's going on on campus I think yeah so I just I want to thank Trisha for helping me this morning and thank you all for coming we're out of time and if you have a few questions I think we'll hang out

I'll catch you later


In the previous lecture, we mentioned that H plus C square over 2 is a constant for an axial machine and that this may be thought of as the energy equation for an observer moving with the rotor. It is important to note that there is no working traction in this case in this frame of reference and the other important point has to do with the manner in which H1, the specific enthalpy has to be evaluated. You must be born in mind that H1 is the static enthalpy and hence it is frame independent so it may be evaluated in the moving frame of reference in the same manner as it is evaluated in the stationary frame of reference. That is a very important point to keep in mind. The most important fact that comes out of this is for this foreign axial machine that H plus C square over 2 is a constant and this has very important consequences in the actual design and working of an axial machine as we will see in a short while. The SFE applied to the rotor led to an expression that looked like this. So if you look at the terms inside the square bracket, you can be seen that there are basically two effects that cause work transfer to the rotor, whether it is power produced by the rotor or power being supplied to the rotor. There is a change in enthalpy and there is a change in specific kinetic energy. So change in specific enthalpy and change in specific kinetic energy of the fluid. So these two effects cause the work transfer to the rotor. This naturally leads to the definition of a very important performance parameter of a turbo machine, namely the degree of reaction. Simply put, the degree of reaction is a quantity that signifies how much the enthalpy change contributes to the term in the square bracket. Notice that the term in the square bracket is nothing but H01 minus H02. So the degree of reaction basically quantifies how much the change in specific enthalpy contributes to the change in stagnation enthalpy. So you can see the definition of the degree of reaction R here, H1 minus H2 divided by H01 minus H02. So it is clear from SFE applied to the rotor that given amount of work transfer can be accomplished either through a change in specific enthalpy or a change in specific kinetic energy or both. Now for an axial machine, since H plus C square over 2 is the constant in addition, any change in specific enthalpy necessarily leads to a change in relative velocity also. So if we combine this with the earlier statement and we can say that given amount of work transfer can be accomplished through a change in relative velocity or absolute velocity or both, that is the insight that we gain from the application of SFE to the rotor and the definition of the degree of reaction. Note is that degree of reaction can vary between 0 and 1. For instance, if the degree of reaction is 0, then there is no change in specific enthalpy across the rotor and such machines are usually called as 0 reaction or impulse machine. Now if the working fluid is compressible, then R equal to 0 simply implies that the static enthalpy or specific enthalpy remains constant across the rotor. Now in the case of an incompressible working fluid such as water, it follows from the definition of specific enthalpy that a change in specific enthalpy is equivalent to a change in pressure. So if the change in specific enthalpy is 0 across the rotor, then it implies for an incompressible working fluid that the pressure remains constant across the rotor. The Pelton deal that we saw earlier is an example of such an impulse rotor where the pressure remains constant. Let us take a look at the figure for an impulse machine. So here the water that comes from the reservoir at a higher elevation is actually accelerated to a high velocity in the nozzle and when it comes out of the nozzle, the water comes out at atmospheric pressure and the air inside the casing is also at atmospheric pressure. So the entire turbine operates at constant pressure and hence it is an impulse machine. It must be understood clearly that a 0 reaction machine and an impulse machine are not the same. A 0 reaction machine implies that enthalpy is constant whereas an impulse machine generally implies that pressure remains constant across the rotor. But it is customary to actually use these two terms interchangeably although the context must pick up very clear when these terms are used. Let us now revisit the equation relating pressure change across the rotor and change in the flow properties along the streamline. So this is captured in this expression which states that any change in the pressure along the streamline is due to change in u square over 2 and change in c square over 2. So this term captures centrifugal effect and this term captures deceleration or acceleration of the fluid in the blade passage. Now let us look at this expression for the two machines that we have seen so far namely the radial machine. It may be recalled that we looked at both radial and axial machines in the introductory part of the series. If we take this equation and apply it to a radial machine, by design the change in relative velocity in the radial machine is usually very small. So we may actually set this term to 0. So it then becomes clear that the pressure change in the impeller of radial machine is due to centrifugal action only. So if the pressure increases along the streamline that is dp is positive, then it is clear from here that dr must also be positive which means that the flow is radially outward in case the pressure increases along the streamline. So this explains why the flow is radially outward in a centrifugal pump and in a centrifugal compressor that we saw earlier and it may be recalled that this was one of the questions that we had posed earlier namely why must the flow be radially outward in a centrifugal compressor of pump and this answers that question. By the same token if dp is negative along a streamline that is pressure decreases along a streamline then dr must also be negative. So in the case of a centrifugal turbine then the flow is radially inward as we saw in the case of the centrifugal turbine and an automotive turbocharger. So this equation explains quite clearly why the flow direction is the way it is in radial machines where the pressure change is due entirely to centrifugal action. The work that is supplied to a pump pushes the fluid element radially outward thereby increasing its pressure. So that is a very simple interpretation that is possible from this equation. Now if you apply the same equation to an axial machine to the rotor of an axial machine then we can actually set this term to 0 in this case because the radius of the streamline changes very little across the rotor of an axial machine. It may change from one rotor to the next one set of rotor blades to the next set of rotor blades but within a rotor blade itself the change in radius is usually very small so this term may be set to 0. So then it becomes clear that the pressure change in the rotor of an axial machine is due entirely to a change in the relative velocity. So if dp is positive meaning pressure increases along the streamline for example in an axial compressor then the relative velocity must decrease that is sin dc is negative and so sin decreases. So in this case the blade passage actually acts like a diffuser and decelerates the fluid and the deceleration of the fluid results in an increase in pressure of the fluid in the case of an axial compressor. In the case of an axial turbine where the pressure decreases along the streamline from this expression we can see that the velocity relative velocity must increase dc is positive so the relative velocity must increase in this case the blade passage acts like a nozzle. So we can actually then gain further insights from the blade profiles that we had looked at earlier. So for instance this is the rotor of an axial turbine and it is clear that the passage area between the blades decreases and hence this acts like a nozzle and the relative velocity increases from inlet to exit in the case of an axial turbine. In the case of an axial compressor whose rotor is shown here the relative velocity decreases from inlet to exit and the passage area increases from inlet to exit. So the flow is actually diffused in this case and the diffusion results in an increase in pressure in the case of an axial compressor. Now the blade shapes of an axial turbine and the axial compressor are also quite strikingly different. Now in the case of a turbine because the pressure gradient is favorable along the directional flow it is possible to have large pressure drops across the blade passage and the large amount of work transfer is also possible which is why the blades are so highly curved and they are also thicker to withstand the large amount of work transfer. In the case of a compressor because the pressure rise is accomplished by a diffusion of the flow there is always a danger of the boundary layer on the wall of the blade or on the blade surface separating. So if the boundary layer separates then the compressor undergoes what is known as a stall and in a compressor design such as this where the pressure rise is accomplished through diffusion of the flow there is always a danger of flow separation. So the pressure rise across such a compressor stage cannot be very high. It is typically 1.15 to 1.2 no more than that because the pressure rise is more than that there is a possibility of boundary layer separation. So since the pressure rise cannot be very high in across the blade passage in the rotor the amount of work transfer that can be accomplished is also less in this case. So consequently the blades of an axial compressor are slender and the curvature is also not very high. In the sense we can summarize and say that the blade passage of an axial turbine resembles a nozzle so the rotor of an axial turbine is actually a set of rotating nozzles and similarly the blade passage in an axial compressor acts like a diffuser and so the rotor of an axial compressor is actually a set of rotating diffusers. So this sort of interpretation is possible from the equations that we just described. And the comments that we made about the work transfer being very high in the case of a turbine and work transfer being relatively small in the case of a compressor is also evident from the picture of the axial machine that we saw earlier. So if you look at this gas turbine engine, the turbofan engine it can be seen that a single ring of turbine blades here the high pressure turbine drives about 5 or 6 of the high pressure compressor blades which clearly demonstrates that the work produced by a single row of turbine blades here is sufficient to run the work I mean it is sufficient to run 5 or 6 rows of compressor blades or it is equal to the work requirement of 5 or 6 rows of compressor blades. Similarly the two rows or even one row of the intermediate pressure turbine here is sufficient to run about 7 or 8 stages of the intermediate pressure compressor. So the work requirement of 7 or 8 stages of the intermediate pressure compressor can be met by just one or two rows of intermediate pressure turbine blades. So it is clear this is possible because the work transfer for turbine blade passage can be very high because of the favorable pressure gradient across these blade passages when compared to the adverse pressure gradient across the blade passages of the axial flow compressor. So the process of diffusion that is utilized in an axial flow compressor is through diffusion and it is not really good from a fluid mechanic perspective going to the dangers of flow separation. It is still much preferred design and widely used when compared to centrifugal machines. The pressure rise in the axial machine is due to diffusion of flow which as we said is always accompanied by a danger of flow separation whereas the pressure rise in the case of a centrifugal compressor is accomplished through centrifugal action and because the relative velocity remains constant across the impeller there is no danger of flow separation here. Nevertheless the axial flow compressor is used quite extensively in many installations because there are other advantages to this design which offset the disadvantage that we have just mentioned.


Today I want to talk to you guys about safety and how you can locate your friends while they're out boondocking or camping and how they can locate you and how you can make sure that you can get some medical services if you need them while you're out camping. Hey guys it's Robin with Creativity RV and today I want to talk to you about a very important topic and that is safety. I wanted to get this video out in a timely manner because you may have heard some sad news that in our nomadic community out here in Arizona there was a lady that was found deceased in her camper. I'm not here to sensationalize that. My condolences do go out to her friends and family but this situation really did spur some good conversations around the campfire for me and my friends and maybe also for you and so I wanted to give you some tools that I have in my book Be a Nomad, Change Your Life that has a huge section on safety and this is just one little piece that I want to actually walk you through in this video so you can find out how to share your location with people or they can share their location with you or how you can get some medical help if you're somewhere and you can't call somebody for it and you're in a life-and-death situation. My understanding of that recent situation is that the lady had shared her location with somebody and she was no longer at that location and then she didn't show up somewhere where she was expected so they had trouble finding her. They had to reach out to a bunch of people who guessed about where she might be camping and finally she was found. So what I want to share with you today is how you can always make sure that your location is shared with the people of your choice or that you can see the location of your friends if they want to share it with you. The easiest way to do that is through Google Maps. Now everybody can use this it's totally free. You can use it if you have an Android or an Apple or a computer. Now we've all gone into Google Maps probably and you get a screen that looks something like this right? So if you're in Google Maps and your GPS is on you're going to see this blue flashing light. That's me last week in Phoenix and don't worry you guys I'm no longer there. The first way that you can share your location with people is that you just press on that blue dot and then you're going to see something come up that says drop pin and you'll see the little share icon that looks like a piece of pie and you can send it your GPS coordinates on a one-time basis to anybody that you like via text or email. So if you don't want to share your location any longer than that one time this is a great way to do that. The second way that you can share your location with people is to actually go into Google Maps and tell it that you want to share a location with somebody. So I'm going to show you what that looks like really fast. Let's say that somebody shared their location with you like right here. So you see my little blue icon right with the red arrow and then you'll see the other arrow that is one of my friends with whom I share my location and she shares her location with me. It doesn't have to be a two-way street it can be a one-way street and it's easy to set up but it's really easy to see the people once you have this set up so I wanted to show you that first. If you go into Google Maps and you just minimize the screen and so you can see the country or the world or you know wherever your friends are they're going to come up wherever they are. So you see here that here's me and then here's my friend who was by court site last week when I took this picture. So with you know a quick little glance I can see where I am compared to them and where they are all over the world. Then if I just press her little icon there then this is going to come up. This is going to show me exactly where she is when the last time was her location was updated and her battery life which I'll explain in a second that's actually pretty important. But before I get off this screen I just want to show you guys that if you do hit somebody's name and this screen pops up you can also navigate through this screen to add other people or also to see all the other people on your list with whom you share a location. If you don't want to go in and just minimize the map to see the people that you're sharing locations with another way is just to go into Google Maps like this and then go up to the three dots on the upper left hand side. I think that's called the hamburger and then you're going to get a drop down. You want to go about halfway down the screen until you see location sharing and you hit that. If you go through this way you're going to get a list of all the people who share in their location with you. You can see my three people down at the bottom. My two friends are grayed out and then there's mom. Hey mom also from this screen you can add people see all the people you share with and then up at the right hand side you're going to see those three little dots. If you no longer want to see their location or you no longer want to share your location or a bunch of other stuff that's where you'd get that done. At the top of comments below I'm going to put a link for step-by-step directions from Google on how to add your location for people or see other people. It's really easy you guys but basically you just do the same thing I just showed. You go into that little hamburger icon and you say share my location or see other people's locations and then when you set it up it's going to give you a choice. You can share your location for three days at a time and by the way you can turn it off anytime during that period or you can say share my location on an ongoing basis until I turn it off. So that's what I do with my three friends. So they know that if they don't hear from me for a couple of days they can just go into Google Maps and go through those screens I just showed you and see where I am at all times. If they don't hear from me and they get nervous they know where I am. Now let me go back to the battery status which is really important. This is a feature that Google added just last year on to Google Maps. So you might be wondering why they're showing your battery power when you share your location with somebody.  So let's say I went out boondocking and my family got nervous because they didn't know where I was. They could say you know where in the world is Robin they go into Google Maps they could see that I had like 10% battery life and that my last known location was updated one day ago. They know generally where I'm going to be. If I'm somewhere where my battery has died or I don't have a good signal they'll get the last known location and battery amount which is good because you don't want them to freak out just because your battery died and this will show them. Now like I said there are other ways that you can do this. Remember those three little dots I showed you at the top right of that shot that looks like an ellipse? That is for more. Now if you go in there you can actually tell Google Maps that you want to share through lots of other apps. You can do it through Facebook, through Twitter, WhatsApp, all kinds of places. Messenger.  So if your people do not have Google Maps or they don't want to have a Google account no problem at all you can just use one of these other apps. Easy and it's free. So now you guys know how to share your location with somebody else and you know how to see your friends locations who are sharing it with you and now I've said this to you guys before. The biggest thing that I'm personally concerned about from a safety perspective when I'm in the middle of nowhere is like a medical emergency. What happens if I'm incapacitated and I can't get to a phone or I can't drive out from somewhere and I don't have a cell signal. What I use is this personal locator beacon. This is a rescue link I did a bunch of research on different models. There are other models out there that do more than this that text people and you know do your laundry. I'm joking. I wish I would have gotten that one but this is about $216. I'll put a link for it below. It's an expense. I didn't actually get this for about the first year I was on the road because I didn't want to pay the money but it makes me feel a lot better. So here's the deal with this thing.  It has a one-time use and if you ever have to use it then they actually do replace the battery inside so you don't have to buy another one if something happens. But it's not meant to be used all the time. In fact you get in a lot of trouble if you use this if you were not in a life and death situation. So it's not to be used if you just like spraying your ankle.  That's a life and death situation. So you can use this. If you have a stroke or a heart attack or something and you can make it to this button, I personally keep it right by my front door just in case you hit the button and help is going to be on the way. So you know person by person you can decide if it's worth the expense. For me it was. If you have a medical condition but you still like to boondock I recommend getting one of these. This is an important topic you guys. I want to make sure that all of you are sharing your location with someone if you feel comfortable doing that. If you're going to go out and camp solo so that people can find you if they need to or that you can find your friends if you haven't heard from them in a while. You can just go right into Google Maps and find them. And also if you have a medical condition or you're in a life threatening situation, there is a way if you choose it that people can come and find you and help you. So I hope you guys found this helpful. If you did, please do give it a thumbs up. Leave me a comment and let me know if you have some other suggestions for people. Very important. I wish you all happy travels out there and be free.


Thanks very much Brendan for your very warm introduction. Excellencies, deputies, ladies and gentlemen, four weeks from tomorrow, May the 31st, we will all individually have a decision to make. How we vote on the stability treaty will have profound implications for all of us, for our families and for our country. As we contemplate this decision, we owe it to ourselves to engage in open, constructive and truthful debate about what the treaty means for Ireland and for Europe. What the implications of a yes vote are and what are the consequences if the Irish people reject the treaty. As you know the government strongly believes that ratification of the treaty is in Ireland's national interest and we are seeking a yes vote. Today, what the Scottish Gen Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, and also as leader of the Labour Party, I want to reflect on the background to the decision we are taking on how Ireland's relationship with Europe has evolved over the years and how this treaty is a logical and important step forward. But most importantly on how stability is a necessary condition for growth, not an alternative to it. We will only succeed in our objective of economic recovery if we work from a solid platform of stability in Ireland and in Europe. Fiscal and financial stability can only be achieved if we have economic growth and job creation. That applies at home as it applies in Europe. It is already the policy of this government that budget consolidation alone will not solve all our problems and there is now a growing mood in Europe to press ahead with the growth agenda which is firmly in line with Ireland's position. Stability and growth. Growth and stability are not opposites. They go together. If I may adapt some words of a former colleague, growth without stability is like one hand clapping and the same applies to stability without growth. Next year marks the 40th anniversary of Ireland's accession to the European Union, what was then widely known as the Common Market. The decision to join the European project was taken after 50 years of native self-government, a period during which the economic ambitions of the independence movement had been deeply disappointed. The attempt by independent Ireland to promote industrialisation behind protective barriers had failed and it was only in the 1960s when Ireland began to open up economically and socially that we had a taste of what prosperity might be possible. The Ireland that had left the United Kingdom was a predominantly agricultural region of the British economy and by 1973 that was still largely true. 30% of people still worked in agriculture and the vast bulk of exports still made their way to the UK. The imbalance in our level of income per capita compared to our nearest neighbour had changed little. The promise of the Common Market was the opportunity to improve employment opportunities and living standards by being part of the Common Agricultural Policy and by building up an industrial base with access to European markets. Over the decades the advantages that Ireland found in membership of the European community grew and developed. In the 1980s access to European social funds was used to open up opportunities in education and training. In the 1990s Ireland successfully used structural funds to enhance economic infrastructure and promote development. As time went on we began to achieve the economic development and convergence with European living standards that we had sought for so long. GDP per capita in Ireland in 1973 was 58% of the EU 15 average by 1996 that had reached 99%. By the end of the century Ireland had made the transition from being an underdeveloped region of Europe to a modern technologically advanced European country. We had diversified our industrial base and our export markets, built up the skills of our people and transformed our infrastructure. In other words Ireland was successful in using our membership of the Union to achieve long-held national goals. To make Ireland a place where one could learn, find a job, make a good life and grow old in comfort. A place that was shaking off the legacy of economic failure and loss that went back to the famine. It was also through our membership of the Union that we modernized our society as well as our economy. In the field of labour law, competition law, rights for women, consumer rights and environmental protection we worked with Europe to achieve better standards to the benefit of all our people. It was in that context of an Ireland transformed, modernized and economically succeeding that we joined the euro. That decision reflected not just a new confidence but also an understanding of the fundamentally changed nature of our relationship with Europe. We no longer saw ourselves as an underdeveloped region on the western edge of Europe. We were now a country whose living standards had converged with European norms and which understood how to convert access to European and global markets into jobs and prosperity. Joining the euro was about availing of the greater economic opportunities offered by trading in a common currency and also about getting away from the financial instability such as we experienced during the currency crisis of 1992. Today it is sometimes forgotten how vulnerable our national currency was to speculative attack. Joining the euro was the right decision then. Defending it is the right decision now. There are of course problems around the euro today but there are also solutions. The treaty on which we have to vote is part of the solution, a necessary part and the specific part on which we have to vote but it is by no means the total solution. Since coming to office the government has taken firm but difficult decisions to stabilize our economic and financial position. We recapitalized and reshaped the banking system. We took action to bring order to our public finances. We took a series of measures to promote growth and job creation and we launched a major drive to rebuild our reputation abroad. As we have worked our way through these economic and financial difficulties however one thing has become increasingly clear. For all the progress that Ireland is making we are constantly coming up against the barrier of instability in the eurozone. People say to us yes Ireland is doing the right things and recovering but what about the euro? Ireland has been restoring its own reputation but meanwhile confidence in the euro and in Europe has been declining. Take as an example what we have had to do in the banking system. During the property bubble Ireland's banking system became too large and too dependent on wholesale money markets. Ireland's banking reforms are designed to reduce the scale of the banking system to fit better with the size of our economy and to better serve its needs. The banking strategy has been designed to ensure that there is scope for new lending even as the system itself is deleveraged but our capacity to implement those reforms will be greatly undermined if there is instability in the European banking system. Similarly our capacity to get back into the sovereign bond markets depends not just on the measures that we take in Ireland but also the overall level of investor confidence in eurozone sovereigns. It is clear that the progress we are making is being held back by the crisis in the euro. Equally while growth returned to the Irish economy in 2011 with the benefit of a strong export performance growing uncertainty about the European economy has led to growth forecasts for Ireland being pared back. In short stability and growth in Ireland requires stability and growth in Europe. They are not alternatives they march hand in hand. You cannot have growth here or in Europe without financial stability. The stability treaty therefore is an important part of Europe's response to the crisis but it is only part of the response and was never intended to be the sole response. Since the treaty was signed we have seen significant additional measures being applied including injections of liquidity into the European banking system by the ECB. There is now one trillion euro in additional support which is helping to bring greater stability to the banking system and to the market for sovereign bonds. The treaty has also provided the backdrop against which member states have substantially increased the size of combined EFSF and ESM firewalls. For legal and constitutional reasons it is the treaty alone that we are voting on but we have to remember that it is part of that wider package on which no referendum is necessary but that package is in turn dependent on the ratification of the treaty. The Irish government has made the case consistently before the conclusion of the treaty and now that we have to do more. It is time to move the debate onto a growth strategy. As I said it has always been my view and it is the policy of the Irish government that budget consolidation alone will not solve all our problems. That is why before the treaty was negotiated the Taoiseach joined other European leaders in writing to President Van Rompuy setting out a number of pathways to promote growth at European level. That is why the text of the treaty itself states explicitly that the contracting party's desire and I quote to promote conditions for stronger economic growth in the European Union and to that end to develop ever closer coordination of economic policies within the Eurozone. And it is also why article one of the treaty states its purpose to be to support and I quote the achievement of the European Union's objectives for sustainable growth employment competitiveness cohesion. That is why at the January summit when the treaty was concluded European leaders also agreed to step up action to promote growth including finance for SMEs using the European investment bank to promote innovation and entrepreneurship and tackling youth unemployment. Let me read from the official statement made by all of the members of the European Council all 27 heads of state and government on the January on January the 30th 2012 my quote decisions have been taken to ensure financial stability and fiscal consolidation. This is a necessary condition for a return to higher structural growth and employment but it is not in itself sufficient. We have to modernize our economies and strengthen our competitiveness to secure a sustainable growth. This is essential to create jobs and preserve our social models and it is at the heart of the Europe 2020 strategy and the euro plus pact. These efforts must be made in close cooperation with social partners respecting member states national systems. Growth and employment will only resume if we pursue a consistent and broad based approach combining a smart fiscal consolidation preserving investment in future growth sound macroeconomic policies and an active employment strategy preserving social cohesion. That was the statement which was made unanimously by the 27 heads of state and government on the conclusion of the treaty. It is why to when Ireland assumes the presidency next year we will be working on a new round of proposals from the commission to drive this growth agenda forward. I am pleased that our analysis is now finding wider purchase. It is of course for the people of France to decide who they elect as their president when they cast their votes next Sunday. Francois Hollande the candidate of Labour's sister party has however made it clear that if he is elected he will push strongly for a renewed agenda for growth and jobs. I fully share and support his ambition although no doubt there will be differences over the detail of what may be proposed and he is not alone in countries with very different situations and governments of different political stripes there is an emerging mood in favour of a new approach close to that which has already been advocated by Ireland. There are ideas coming not just from France but also from the commission and from the president of the council. They all centre on the core idea that now is the time to invest in infrastructure and in innovation to improve the productive capacity and competitiveness of the European economy and to stimulate growth. At home the government has been working to develop an investment agenda. We have already created the strategic investment fund and new era as vehicles to support investment in the Irish economy. With the stability we have already achieved to date and with the new measures being developed in Europe we can make a real impact on our capacity to achieve more growth and create more jobs. We can use these resources to promote investment on a commercial basis in infrastructure and innovation that will locate Ireland as a technologically advanced exporting country while also stimulating the domestic economy. But these measures to grow our economy to attract investment and encourage innovation and to re-stimulate domestic demand have to be taken on a stable surface and that is the core of the referendum debate. You cannot have growth without stability and ultimately you will not have stability without growth. Ratifying the treaty is necessary to continue our path to recovery. There's nothing new in this nor is it an argument that is owned by any one political persuasion. It was a French socialist Jacques Delors who laid the groundwork for economic union. It was an Irish Labour Minister for Finance Rory Quinn who took the lead in negotiating the stability and growth pact during Ireland's 1996 presidency and what is more it was also that same Labour Minister for Finance who took Ireland from deficit to surplus during the term of the rainbow coalition government. Social Democrats have always been clear that fiscal discipline is an important requirement for growth. In fact those countries in Europe that have run the smallest deficits are also the most social democratic in their orientation. By the same token those who have tried to associate the treaty with austerity have to answer the question is there ever a point at which they think we should stop borrowing and who is going to continue to lend to us indefinitely if we do not control our own budget. One of the many lessons of the past decade is that a small open economy like Ireland needs to be prudent about its finances to avoid being blown off course by a global downturn. It also proves beyond doubt that if you want the public finances to absorb problems in bad times you need to manage them well in good times. That is the case for this treaty. It provides a commitment to good management of the public finances at home and across Europe. It provides confidence for investors and others about the future stability of the currency zone. It provides Ireland with the insurance policy of access to the ESM a facility we don't ever want to use but just having it there as an essential backstop and crucially it provides a platform of stability specifically a stable currency on which we can then build at home and abroad to boost investment in jobs and in the future capacity of the economy. The euro is our currency. It is the money in our pocket, the money we spend when we have it, the money we save when we can. We are in this project for the right reasons and we must stick to it now. Ratifying the treaty is not the only thing we have to do to recover but it is essential. Voting yes for the treaty is a vote for recovery for the way out of the difficult times in which we find ourselves. To say no would be to move backwards. It would be a vote for more austerity not less. Ireland is a good country. We can achieve and we will achieve economic recovery. We can and we will create jobs for our people and a future for our children. We can move on from where we are to create a better and a fairer Ireland and that is what this referendum is about and that is why we need a yes vote. Thank you very much.
