Welcome to Toffy TV, sponsored by Vanorama, driving fan TV through the summer. So, manager's in, brand's in, but let's talk about Michael Silver. He's at the club. Baz has been doing loads of research on him to get us up to speed with what we should expect from him. Obviously, we came into English football 18 months ago now, and spent half a season with Hull. Unfortunate not to keep up in the Premier League, then he moved to Wafford, and obviously we tried to get our things on him in October and November time. Lost his job in, was it January? January lost his job there. I run a poor form, which Wafford kindly said was because of us, which is good. Also down to a lot of injuries as well that he had. But what do you see, having looked at what he's done in the past, what do you see as his ideology, I would say, coming into evidence? I think what's interesting, and you pointed it out when we done the reaction video, he started as a sporting director. He played for Esterl, he was a right back, and then he retired and took over as a sporting director, and they'd lost the first few games, and he was quickly promoted to the manager, with the head coach. And that come around because as the captain, which is what he was, he'd been able to bring everybody together, Esterl. But he took over there, he was struggling there a foot of the table, and he quickly got in, and the players from that era were talking about how he was able to give them confidence, make them all believe in an ideology in a way of playing. And they ended up winning the league that same season, so they'd lost, I think they'd lost the first three games and then under him, I think they only lost another two or three for the rest of the season, and were promoted into the Premier League in Portugal, and everyone was, you know, they only got a thousand fans at a game, they think it holds five thousand or something, so it's not a very big club in the slightest then. They went up into the top division and he finished fourth the next season, fifth sorry, the next season and got into the Europa League and then he lost three of the top players of Anzau, he ended up with him a whole. He was the key, people said, and he went off and everyone ticked him for relegation because the three kingpins had gone, and they actually finished fourth the following season, so they finished better.  But he's not, if you look at and read anything from Portugal and his time in Greece and stuff, he's very, not the fence minded, but he does look after his defense, he believes that if you start from a solid base at the back, then it's obviously easier to win. His team's transition through counter attack and football, you know, to being a high-press team as well, however it, whatever it suits, you know, the whatever's called for on that day, and I think the big thing that's come out of it is actual coaching methods, and obviously you can only go on what people have said, but these are players who've his work experience, you know, calling them, that Casami played, I think he ended up playing for Fulham for a bit, called them a genius, said he's a tactical genius, and we know we've seen the things about, you know, Curtis Davis and Ryan Mason and stuff, saying physically when they're going through drills, he pulls them into the positions where they should be, and I think if you can, what ranks, read from everything I've studied and read about him was he's able to be the manager, but he's also able to unite the dressing room and build this fort, this team spirit, and I think a few similarities there, as opposed with David Moyes, the way he was able to be the manager, but Evan had a strong team spirit throughout, mostly throughout Moyes this year, but this fellow's able to do it, probably, maybe similar to Marino, I know in Portugal they see him as baby Marino, he's been called, the way Marino was able to get that or was now, he seems to fall out with players, but really on, certainly in Porto and at Chelsea, and even Real Madrid until he fought with Cassius, a lot of them said he was great at getting that team spirit going, it was us and us against everybody else, and I think he's liked that a little bit. Yeah, he does seem to have something about him, I've heard that people players against him, he comes across as a very nice charming man, but he does have a side to fear as well, he does seem like that when you see him in, doesn't give much away in the press conferences I've noticed as well, at the time, like a lot of blues would have, around the time we were getting linked with him, every press conference he was getting asked, and every day he was, he didn't fob anyone off, he just said well today we're concentrating on that game or this game and we're leaning and blah blah blah, so he seems to be all about business, all about the business, and like you've just said there, players have said that on the training pitch it's come here, that's where I want you, again, and stopping training sessions and going through things, again, again, meticulous, meticulous eye for detail, which is what all the best managers had, and although Rebeton Martin is, there were a lot of Evertonians that sort of compare him with, which I don't know if there's any evidence that that, I think it's just one of those things that gets thrown at you if your team can see goals, or well you must play a certain way, well really looking into, well is it because he's got, is there a reason he's got where his players, is he setting them up in a certain way, but the players are unable to do it, but I don't think Martin is, was that meticulous, I just think he had an idea of how we wanted to play, and God has players to play like that, but without the detail into what happens if you know it's all right saying, it's all right having coaching by just saying well this is how we want to play as we go forward, but how do you, how do you counter that if the opposition get the ball, or how do you, and I think this was a big thing that certainly in Martin as a second season wasn't addressed, how do you deal with the opposition when you haven't got the ball, you know how do you win the ball back to allow you to play that style you want to play, and only that was ever addressed on the Martin is, it was, it was sort of secondary, it was well this is how we're going to play women in possession, well that's fine, we can go forward, what about the other bit, what about, and that, that seems to be something that this guy wants to do, listen I can't see to you and say it's going to be brilliant or he's a genius at it, but what I can say is that that's what he wants to do, that's why he's getting, he's teaching his defenders, or his midfielders, or even his attackers, how to approach the other side of the game, so you can play the way he wants to play, and I think that's really important, you know you look, you took, I'm not saying it's the same thing, but look at the Barcelona thing, look at the Manchester City thing about the six second, you know, doing it back, that's a way of that, that, not in that's the way he's going to play, but I'm saying that's a way, that's a way of getting your players to understand that you can do nothing in the game unless you've got the ball, and that's something that Pep Guard the older is, is drilled into all his plays, and Manchester City players have now, are now understanding that, and you take, it takes a certain play as well to learn how to do that, I think, I think that's a huge part of where Martin has, even though he said he had the Barcelona philosophy completely got it wrong, it's that he wasn't prepared to put the hours in on the training ground, to do that kind of thing, to get that pressuring, to get that win the ball back at all costs, and I think hopefully this is something that he will implement, Evan. Definitely, I mean that's round three through all his teams, all his teams have played very simply, he does have the ideology of how he wants to play and he sticks to it, and I think what come out is able to get players to play, he likes plays he trusts, but he's able to get them to play in a same way, and I think, Tom Cleverly talking about working on a throwing for 45 minutes, because he wasn't writing stuff like that, can be boring, but it makes a big difference in and out of, if you've got someone who's looking into that detail, those details can be the difference between winning a game and not winning a game, and you know when you remember Roberto Martin has said he don't practice corners, because what's the point in your life? Well the pointers of the games, the time you get when you can win it, you know that's the point, it's great playing all the other stuff, well this fella that does have that, I mean, he looked at, I looked at his win ratios, it was 44% I think, a Estrill, he went up to 56% of sport, it was 79% Olympiacus, and then it was 34% Hull and 31% and ended up with Wafford, because of the way it ended up with Wafford, but people just look at the way it ended up with Wafford and just go, oh he's no good, you've got to remember that before our interference, things were breaking up behind the scenes, but they were doing very well, he was fourth a couple of weeks before they played us, you know, and people were going these around outside tip for the Champions League and all that because of the way they were playing, so what I also did was I watched a lot, and I've watched a lot while I've been away on my laptop watching just situations for his team, so when they're attacking, and they do, it depends how he's got to blame, but when it's the high-press, the high-press properly, they don't high-press like Togson goes and does it, and then they just play around them and they're gone, they swarm all over it, and he favors, in general he favors a four, two, three, one. Which have you been playing for ever? Which we've been playing, but what's different is the two wide players are naturally attacking players, a proper attacking players, and he goes between that and a four, three, three, and when he at Wafford, for instance, is Tom Cleverly was the difference in the two formations, so when it was a four, two, three, one, Cleverly was the person who played at the tip of, he had Cepui and Decori most of the time, who were able to get about the pitch, but Cleverly had the pressure in the front, so you'd have four players doing a high-press, but you still had insurance behind them. In other games, Cleverly would go and be part of the midfield, so you'd have, you're out three, you know, so whatever. Would you like to think Sigarton could do that? Sigarton could do, because he can play as a centre midfield, Sigarton, so he'd be able to go between the two formations, then your front three could be, say, Luckman, Tolson and Welcott, you've got pace in the wings, you've got a goalscorer there, Guilfee dropping into that, trying, you know, making it a diamond four, picking off, and it's him, what Cleverly was good at for them was keeping the play goal, getting on the ball, and I thought Guilfee would be good for us. The difference where to see with Everton is their two centre midfield plays, not only physically big, but able to get up and down. Now, Garner can do it. Someone like Tom Davis can do it, but statue-wise, the two little fellas, and I think Tom needs a little bit more coaching, so that's why we've been saying on another video on the Tuesday topic, in fact, that's why it's important to get that box to box. The other thing as well, and this is round true with all of his teams, is the fullbacks given the width at times. Great on the right side, with Seamus, he could do that job all day long. There's a question mark over Leighton Baines. Obviously, can he get up and down enough for this manager? Again, it depends, maybe, if he brings another centre back in, who's quick, who can cover for Baines, or can one of our midfielders do what Gareth Barry used to do, and drop in. So, it's going to be interesting to see how he moves this squad around a little bit, and who he brings in, but there's generally the formations. He has come with two affronts a few times, but his favourite are a 4-2-3-1, or a 4-3-3. Yeah, as I say, it's, for me, when he came into, to Hull, I was very skeptical as well over the appointment, generally you are when you, especially with the whole sort of next marino kind of tag we've had for AVB, and it's not something that sits well, but a Hull, certainly, the things he did with that team were incredible. Really, when you think about it, people will ultimately say, well, he got them relegated. We didn't get them relegated at all, and even if he was an arm manager, I wouldn't say that, he did not get them relegated. He came in when he had one win. He got rid of who, well, or what it, was willing to let the player who was then seen as their best player, and they, like, talisman, you know, he scored against, what was it, what was his name? Snarkrash. Yeah. He scored against those they did in the 2-2. Yeah, a few days before. And Jake Livermore, who they brought to date with the 2, they were their three best players, really.  Got Markovitch. Markovitch from Liverpool. And lots of bands, now, maybe that before he came in. And he just, he made them, he gave them a little bit of hope and a little bit of a, excuse me, a bit of a shape.  Was it eight league games? So they finished the season with nine league games, nine league wins. So the transformation, you know, they got to the league cup semi-final. Beat United, you know, be Liverpool. They were a completely different side from what, you know, what they were. And then, you know, when Wafford, when he took over from Wafford, and obviously he had something in his contract that he could leave, went to Wafford. And it was instantly with them, you know, when I went out and got with Charleston, and God knows how we got that work pain. He should be on the phone when I get on Ykurobyn, now.  And first half of the season, they'll say he went silver, was in. But Charleston was fantastic when he went out to Newcastle, beat the 3-0. I think they, you know, and they were just, I think they were getting the court might. I think they beat Palace at Selleys Park. They were just, they were fantastic. They were, they were, it was all working and how he wanted them to work. And when they came to Godderson for the first, for that first hour, they were really, really good. And then something just flipped in the game, thankfully for us. And we got the goals. But that hour and with Charleston, especially, they were magnificent. And the way they wanted to play was magnificent. You know, they were really positive. And yeah, so it's going to be, it's going to be interesting. It really is. And the way, as I say, I think he's a very, he's a very modern manager. He's a very in-tune manager. He's a very, he's very much knows the job. And I think having brands with him, I will, will allow him to, to get on with the job of what he wants to do, coaching, not having to be sidelined with other things. And, you know, I think that's really important.  He's got the, he's got the, he's got the team sheet. At the end of the day, Dave met Avon Db4, Db4 Greed, you know, Silver's had a couple of issues with, because Waff would have a similar setup, except they buy the players and the man's just got a, got a kind of deal with it. And I know Marat, he wasn't happy with it in Keke Flores, wasn't happy with it, but that's the way the Pozo family do it. And it's an Italian thing, isn't it? I suppose, to Dave Bro Whitman. So we had some issues there, but he'll have met with brands, and, and I'm sure myself, brands will have said to him, well, you know, what didn't work at Waff had and, you know, and he will have just said, well, you know, don't sell players I want to keep.  Waff had, I've, I've said this before, I've seen him at Chelsea and he was brilliant. He ended up losing the game, but only because he missed so many chances.  Come to Godderson, probably should have beat us, you know, and didn't, but luckily for us. So we said, he's a forward thinking manager, he said in the press conference he wants to be here for the long term, you know, a long term project. Um, and if he gets us playing attack on football, the fans will be with him, and then it's a case of building it then. I think what's good as well is he's got, he's got a, he's got a clear run at this, you know, he's coming now. Yeah, beginning, almost like the end of last season, beginning of a new season, you know, during the first is basically, you know, the day one, one ends and one begins. He's got a clear run at this now, he can, you know, he, I would imagine he can plot his own pre-season, you know, in terms of games. I mean, obviously that, what, what actually happens and will be down to him anyway, but in terms of games, he's got nothing forced on him. He can go in, he can go in to do whatever games he wants, whatever suits him in terms of like, does he go for one game every couple of, every three days or is he, you know, all those kind of things that are really important. Um, and I think the other thing that's, that's actually quite key as well is that, and I think we mentioned this a few months back, a couple of months back in the video when we were discussing who would be the next manager when we were talking about silver is that managers have got to, got to learn from the mistakes, you know, and if he did make mistakes at Hull, if he did make mistakes at, um, Wofford, just to learn from them and it's how they learn, you know, good managers are just made overnight and some managers don't just have a trajectory that is always on the up. Sometimes there's downs and do you know what? You don't necessarily lean on the up all the time because you don't know what, you don't see what's gone wrong so you don't know how to respond for me.   So you're saying if something's going to go wrong, I'd rather lean, no, and lean from it and lean out to make, come back and it's like that for him, he's either experienced, had different experiences or Hull, that would mean his first experience of being a part of a relegation threatened team and that was why probably at the time it seemed like a bit of a strange appointment because he'd been used to being a manager on the up okay yet in his first job, he'd come in and it was a bit, you know, it was a bit by the face, but he took them on and took them on, you know, Lisbon the same, Olympiacos the same, so Hull seems like a strange, strange move, but it's all about winning games and then when he's gone to Watford he's got to lean from having all that speculation on him, all the pressure on him and then ultimately, you know, getting sacked and you know, that's what hopefully what he'll come into the Everton job with, all that experience, but then you know what, fell it to the right of him, who's like, well you just get on with doing what you need to do, which is just the coaching part and I'll look after all that and we'll do this together. Yeah, it's a team, isn't it, and no brand is in charge, you know, but that's what it is, everyone's got to work together, is, his ideals seem to be what Everton, and he will like lots of crosses into the box, attack and fast play, you know, sometimes it's hitting teams on the counter attack to do that, you need quick players, so you know, people will be moaned, we're not a fast side in transition, we've all said that haven't we, so you know, it's going to be really interesting I think to see who survives the call, who he thinks can fit in, it's not going to be a fixed in this pre-season just because he comes in and gets us playing, you know, it might take two windows to get 18 players you can play, 19 players you can play the way. Another 19 players? No, no, I mean the whole squad but littered with other players, you know what I mean, you can play the exact way that he wants, whether that's young kids developing every day now as well, but just to have an idealism, have a pattern of play, have a young manager who wants to be here, you know what I think, Ronald Cooman didn't really, I don't think he really wants to be here that much, I think he just thought well these are alright and it might get me closer to the bar to the job, you know, I think he needed persuading to be, there was a disconnect with the fans in him, you know, it's just the way he is, but there was, it didn't work out, there was no real style of play, identity for our club, was there, you know, when you watched it, it was Barclay and Le Cahier earlier, that was it, then we went into the start of the last season and it did nothing worked, you know, Walsh, he was up, you know, on the same day, so we've got a manager now, you know, it was Grim, I mean, what I thought was funny was when he said, you know, how do you turn a team from being 20th in the shot, 19th, create chances created, did it, so he started laughing because he probably thinking well the only way is up from there, isn't it, you know, and he said to play attacking football, to get the ball forward, to create chances, to get, you know, that's what our fans wanted, it's not difficult, he said you only win games by attacking, and it's right, isn't it, it's right, so I'm enthused, listen, it might be brilliant, he might, no, that's the way it is, but I don't think we can beat him with the stake of the Waffford thing or the whole thing, I think they don't, that both had, you know, mitigating sake and chances are whole especially, how he even gave them a fighting chance is incredible, as it is, Waffford, you know, it went wrong, but like you've just said, you know, no manager's ever going to take over, have a smooth ride till he retire and win everything, because they don't, they have times when it's testing, they have times when it's, you know, you're laying from your relegations and you're laying from battling, having to, having to juggle players and people's attitudes and different things, so, you know, hopefully he can use all his experience, and he's got someone who he can, he can such the head of him. Ultimately, I think the most important thing is, is that you're on the right path, you're on the right path from the start, and things will try and upset you and you won't win every game, but if you're on the right path, then a lot of things can be achieved, but it's just, it's just making sure you're on the right path and not getting just knowing, just knowing you're on it and other people around you knowing you're on it and go, and whatever happens, if bad things happen, it's like it's okay, because it's part of where we're going. I think we've seen that at Spare's early on, with Pochettino, I think we've seen that Liverpool early on.  Sometimes you'll have to leave people behind, and you know what, they might be good players, and you might be able to replace them, say to a, but if they're not with you, if they're not part of the process, there's no point, there's no point in having them, you've just got to cut them out, and you won't necessarily be good at it, say to a, as well, and that might lead to disappointing results, but if people are laying, and also if you're not good at it, and you're going to a good side, then that's the other thing, you might lose games by just not being good at that way of playing you, but if you believe in it, you've got to keep going at it, and if it is ultimately the right way, then hopefully it'll have good results and good positive results, but if you've got it, if you know what you want to do, you can't be going to some side and saying well, we're just not going to play that way, if you're believing something, I suppose you've just got to stick to it, and hope for the best. That was a line he said last year, didn't he, when he was at Watford, you know what I'm about, you know I can't tell my players to play one way, one way, and the other the next week just because of the opposition in terms of, I think he didn't necessarily, you can approach the game slightly differently of course you can, but you're not going to say week we're going to go after teams and press and press and press, oh no, we're playing Man City, we're not going to press, we're just going to sit on the edge of our box, because you're leaving yourself open to be destroyed, we've seen that last season when we went to Arsenal, we played a different way and then we went to Arsenal and we were just wide, you know, we tried three at the back or five at the back, and it just was a mess wasn't it, it was an absolute mess, so you'd have to have an identity and you know right or wrong, players will ultimately decide whether your system is good enough or not, but you've got to have a system to know what players complement that system, you know, if you can clop it, a Danny Ings, a Regan, and Shalank, Shalank, he up front, I don't think Liverpool would be blown teams away, now his system would still be the same, but I don't think it, well it wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as what it is, having Shalank for me, you know, and Mane, so it's ultimately players will decide how high you go, but you've got to get that thing in place, and Potatino did that at Southampton, his model, he then took that model to Tottenham, and when he shaped it, they've gone on and on and okay, they've been a little bit fortunate that Harry Kane's turned into a centre for over, that scores for fun, but he's complemented within that system, and they've bought wealth within that system, and they've chained it on and chained it on and chained it on, and that's why they're an excellent side, and they should be the team we identify with the most, because they've done it differently than most of the other teams that were up there, so fingers crossed, touch word, all those things, that'll be positive, it's a new era, if you want to call it that or it's a new beginning, big change is behind the scenes as well, so let's just all, let's believe and just see what happens, you know, let's just all try and pull in the same direction, just have faith that these people know what they're doing, let's enjoy going on mat again and enjoy being, and have a sound unit, it's supposed to, it's there for enjoyment isn't it, and let's hope, you know, he wants, he will want to succeed more than anybody, so let's get behind them and give them that question. I think, I think what, I think people will, I think just, I mean, just finally, I think, yeah, I mean, think about it when Matt, Matt is coming, right, I mean, let's be honest, he just got wig and relegated, now I'm not saying, I'm not saying, you know, that's the, the benchmark, but what I'm saying is, that summer when he came in, he came in and he gave it all, the Champions League and all that, and everyone was just like, ah, this is boss, the infusion hasn't for the club is brilliant, and I remember his first pre-season game, was it Ackenton Stanley, somewhere like that? Fans were loving it all over him, he was saying all the right things and, and he, you know, maybe this fella might just be a little bit more guarded, that's fine, but your fans can have that same infusion. But he understands it's important to connect with the fans. Yeah, yeah, no, no, I don't think he's like standoffish, I'm just thinking Natalie's just a little bit more guarded and just a little bit more reserved in the way he puts himself across. But what I'm saying is though, fans, let's, let's get to get, let's pull together, so that, you know what, his first pre-season game is, and I'm not saying fans won't be, but let's, let's all be there pushing forward, because I understand the resistance, people don't want to get banned, they feel like they've been banned, but that doesn't mean you can't go there. The thing about it is right, you can be enthusiastic about the manager, but that doesn't mean you have to be unrealistic about the manager. No one has to, no one has to be sitting here going, oh, we've got this fella and we're going to win everything, because it's going to be amazing and he's amazing and this, and with brands it's going to be amazing. That's what we hope, but we don't, don't know after city and thinking that's going to happen, but that doesn't mean we still can't be enthusiastic and be like, you know what, to give this fella all our support and every, every, you know, the pre-season show them what it's like to be an Everett manager and show them that we are with them. So that he's like, yeah, these are with me and then he can point to that to the players and go, they're with you, they're with you and if they're with you, then that gives us a little bit more time to get things right, because the last thing we want is to be fans going into it, going, yeah, let's just see what happens, because I think that just breeds a little bit like, yeah, we're not too sure about this fella, we're not too sure about them, you're waiting for things to go wrong, that's exactly what happened with, with Aladais, you know, whether you liked them or you didn't like them, no one was going to give them that time, everyone was waiting for it to go wrong, and that was a little bit like the same Cuma as well, people on the start were a little bit like, not sure about this fella, and because of that, I think the minute it started going wrong, then people were like, no, wait, it's with Mattis, it took a while, it took a series while, we had, you know, after the first season, then we had the second season, which was pretty bad apart from the run in Europe League, but a lot of people forgive them, and then till the very end I know people who are like, no, you can still take it round, because we want them to take it round, and I think you've just got to give yourself, you've got to give yourself over a little bit, and that doesn't mean you have to be a fanboy and be sort of like, you know, can't see any wrong with them, but that's just been, let's get behind them. I just think if we all want to see, we all want to see everything good, and I think we've got more chance of achieving it if we're all pulling in the right direction, let's see how we go, and hopefully, you know, I think we should be playing the likes of Achrington Stanley in the pre-season, and I think we probably will end up just doing UK games, playing them, build the confidence or get some goals, score some goals, and then it gives that good feeling to them, if you win, like if three or four games, four, one, three, they'll fall, you're like, high score to that, high score, everyone starts getting that little bit of a good feeling, I think when it's great going into tournaments against big opposition, that's great, but let's aim for that next summer, when we know what we're doing this summer, I think somewhere along the line, this has got to be the long term plan, and that's why I'm prepared to fully get behind it now, because I just think, we've had bits where it's the toes in the water, the bit in it, we might do that, now we've got some money, we've got a proper director of footballing, and we've got a young manager who has done decent things in his career, he's had some downs, but he's had a lot of ups, and now for me, I'm just going to go, you know what, let's get behind them, and let's watch everything, and let's enjoy watching our football club again, enjoy talking about our football club again, and not going, you know what I mean, because for everyone who's moaning, all adais cwda staid, Michelley cwda gong, you've got a sheath, that's all right, if you get a sheath again next year, or seventh again, then we'll see what happens.


What's up internet? My name is Glassfoot.

Thank you very much. I try to be very brief also to really facilitate discussion and I agree with Lucas that from where I started, what I tried to do is basically to to answer the question or to provide some ideas of why Germany seems unwilling to resolve the Eurozone crisis.

It doesn't know how to strengthen the Bundestag in its ability to shape policies, if anything to veto and control, but its ability to shape has completely gone. And at the same time, it has ruled almost illegally the European Parliament to uphold some of the principle of shaping European policy. So we've reached an impasse in Germany about what the constitutional courts can do in order to push Germany towards a more constructive role. Now the third is about public opinion and very briefly before I conclude, I think the striking thing is that we've seen over the last couple of years quite a significant shift still under-appreciated in my view. Germany's always believed to be a solidly pro-European country, which is true and I think if you would do a whole referendum these days about in and out of any of this, there's no doubt which side would win. But the number of people who look more sceptically at the European Union is growing fast. Just to give you a few figures and I've sort of scanned sort of the latest polls before and after the summer. Now, just to give you a few ideas, those who believe that the euro itself is a good thing has really dropped to 50%. That's where we are in Germany. So if we are now, you know, there's strong belief, just, you know, those polls to me show if you see the trajectory of people, there was always a lot of scepticism when we had introduced the euro at the place. But there weren't, you know, the German people came around with the view that ultimately it must be a good thing, it will, you know, it secures the validity, et cetera, despite being very romantic with the D mark. But those who really know are very hostile towards the euro is growing at a very large rate. Now, the majority of Germans, a clear majority, favours Greece leaving the euro. That's in contrast, I agree with the politicians who've come around the view that it might be better Greece keeping inside the euro, but a large majority in Germany wants Greece to leave the European Union. That is until today. Another large majority of Germans also are very, very against any further rescue programmes. You only find 20, 25% of Germans who are willing to engage in a discussion about further rescue operations in the pursuit of rescuing the euro. Another majority, I think 55%, wanted the Constitution Court to strike down the ESM. There were a lot of polls around there. What should happen? What should the Constitution Court say? A large majority wanted it to strike it down completely and very much in favour of the lawsuit against the ESM. And if you look at further integrations, even more pessimistic, you know, two thirds are solidly against any sort of further integrationist measure. If you ask them about something like the United States of Europe, you know, almost three-quarter of Germans are fiercely against it. So you see, Germany bait has hit a particular wall. It is still, in my view, a solidly pro-European countries on the fundamental big questions. But it gets more and more difficult to convince the German public to go down the route which some believe is required to rescue the euro. So this triangle really holds back Angela Merkel, the German government. I do think it holds back any government regardless of whether the SPD will come into play or not. Economic ideology, which is very widespread in the ranks of the German ministries, the Bundesbank, et cetera. This constitutionalism which strives to debate and tries to strengthen the parliamentary democracy, which is unravelling, and a rise in German Euroscepticism. Let me conclude by just one thing, which is... And again, I'm sorry, it's more gloom, I have to say, but I think it's the other interesting factor in the German debate, which is before the opposition inside Germany was very much on the populist side. It was driven by the built side, on the back of this narrative of the lazy Greeks, et cetera. And sometimes the FTP, the Liberals, tried to play with it really in a form of desperation because it was so low on the pulse. But what we've seen over the last two years, is that opposition has basically over-softened on the populist front. The FTP has come around firmly pro-European. The built side is surprisingly soft on many issues. But has now reached the establishment. And there are two sort of emblematic figures who really carry sort of the torch of Euroscepticism in Germany. It was a very big potential to cause a stare. And they are, of course, the two familiar figures, Bundesbank president Jens Weidmann, and one of Germany's renowned economist Hans Wernersen. Weidmann, very vocal on inflation, on his opposition to any debt monetisation whatsoever. And Hans Wernersen, very strongly on the problems within the Europe clearing system, the target two system, all the claims that the German Bundesbank has accumulated vis-à-vis the debtor countries, reaching, I think, something in the region of one billion euros, which I see instead of in danger if the euro unravels. As a result of this, Germany becoming more and more blackmailed when we had the summit with Maria Monty trying to extrapolate a few agreements, concession from Angela Merkel. It was very much seen these terms, Monty just in a better position to blackmail Germany because of these imbalances in the target two system. So the biggest danger these days in Germany is really that we have moved from a general consensus about more Europe and pro-integration to a situation where polarization needs to be expected, polarization between and within the establishments. Angela Merkel now, of course, trying to steer away from it, trying to be as cautious as possible, using the ECB as much as possible as a backup but not going any further. But she doesn't know how to avoid this polarization and these two outspoken figure, the Bundesbank president and this economist, to really steer a debate within Germany which will, over the next couple of years, make an impact. And we've got in one year's time as my last sentence an election where I think the European dimension will play out quite forcefully. I don't think the opponents to any further integration are yet sufficiently organised. So we will see a basically pre-European result but we shouldn't kid ourselves that this is only the beginning of a German discourse and debate where polarization might increase and the political system cannot be unaffected in the long run. Thank you so much.


Five days out.  I missed miss leagues last night First workout.  I'll get some footage Show you guys what I'm looking like what my legs are looking like at five days out from NZ IFBB Wellington champs and I'll be competing in men's physique novice men's physique open And if there's enough classes enough competitors, I'll be in tall class C, which is 180 plus So that is the plan guys with five weeks out Five days out and I need some caffeine.

All right, it's lead day Well, it's getting to the point where I mean Shit, I've got five days left of this one and then I've got another three weeks on top of that So I'm grinding hard, but it's not as Hard as it's gonna get put it that way, but it is still hard I mean I said the other morning that I got up had a big coffee and then went straight back to sleep just through lack of energy lack of food and Actually happen the other the day after that as well So this morning, I'm not gonna have coffee because I think I'm getting immune to it the amount of coffee. I'm having and what I'm gonna do is Have some amino energy three scoops 150 milligrams caffeine and I think that should be enough and No food. I'm gonna go train fasted or else. I'll never do it.  I was stoked for the Japanese like that is that's just an amazing result for world rugby and In like one of the first matches of the World Cup to so absolutely stoked for them The all blacks have actually played.  Well in the shade it is but in the sun the weather's all right So I decided to walk down to the gym It's funny, you know I what I probably watch like an hour and a half of YouTube per day and Some of you guys might think that's heaps, but I mean most people watch that on TV per day Don't you but I don't usually watch TV.

Cheers Leg extension and if I really feel like punishing myself and do sets of walking lunges but they're punks that's for sure


The study aimed to assess the usage of online food delivery apps, OFD, and investigate factors affecting food choices, particularly healthy food choices and hygiene, among users in Jordan. The results showed that 64 percent of the sample used OFD apps weekly, with fast food being the most popular option for ordering and lunchtime being the preferred time to order. Perception of a healthy meal was associated with the presence of vegetables in the meal, while factors such as food price, appearance, delivery time, macronutrient content information, availability of healthy options, and considering vegetables as part of a healthy meal were determinants of consumer food choice. Despite perceiving the online food environment as unhealthy, the convenience and popularity of OFD apps hold great potential to promote eating among consumers.


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, a source for everything One Piece. And today we have something strange, quite strange, but hopefully fun maybe, because essentially I would like to examine what this series would have been like if Sakazuki wanted to become the pirate king. And a lot of the inspiration for this topic comes from a very old quote by Oda in an interview with Yasutaka Nakata, where he stated that if Sakazuki went on to become the protagonist of One Piece, then he could end the series within a year. He being Oda that is, although by association I suppose Sakazuki as well. Which speaking of the man himself, he's giving you quite the mean look right now, isn't he? Mmm, that's probably because he wants you to subscribe to the Grand Line Review, which will grant you regular One Piece content uploaded straight into your YouTube feed. And I recommend you hit that red button pretty quickly because Sakazuki's already severely limited patience appears to be running out, oh dear. But as for this hypothetical that we're going to explore here today, we do need to add a couple of extra considerations, because in order for Sakazuki to truly inhabit that role of protagonist as described by Oda, we're going to need to take things a step further and give him the goal of our protagonist, which is to become the pirate king. And can he do it? Well, let's find out. But you know what, that criteria alone is still a bit too vague for my liking, so as I often enjoy doing, I have an additional set of protagonist restrictions to place on our Magma Man. One of which is that he has to start his journey in East Blue exactly where Luffy did. And the second restriction is that because this is One Piece, Sakazuki will need to gather his own pirate crew over the course of his quest to become the pirate king. And given that these features would place us pre-timeskip, that is the incarnation of Sakazuki that we'll be using, still fully equipped with a devastating legibility, but noticeably missing his dubious and underwhelming facial hair. That's pretty much it though. With a starting point, a long-term goal and a path to get there, I think that Sakazuki has now well and truly stepped into the role of One Piece protagonist. So let's see if he can achieve his now ultimate dream of becoming the pirate king. And of course, we will start with a grumpy man in boat who eventually stumbles across both Kobe and Alveda.  Sakazuki then very easily makes it to Shell's town on his own because he is a competent individual. However, he goes on to completely disregard Zoro as the idea of justice is clearly being carried out in this case. Instead, Sakazuki turns his attention to the leader of justice on the island, Axhand Morgan, and Sakazuki will waste no time in asking Morgan to join the justice pirates, a name that Sakazuki had just now made up on the spot. And Morgan will of course accept this offer primarily out of fear, but with that, Sakazuki has his first crew member, fantastic. Oh, and also Zoro probably dies because nobody frees him, but that has no concern of ours. We then skip Orange Town because Sakazuki, unlike Luffy, is probably not going to get eaten by a bird, as well as the island of rare animals because Luffy quite frankly just went there on a whim. However, we do have an important stop in Syrup Village when Sakazuki realizes that he will need a bigger ship to properly sail any further. So here he encounters Usoppu quite promptly and correctly shits himself before strolling on up to Kai's mansion and demanding a ship from the wealthy household. And luckily for him, they just so happened to have one being the going Mary. However, this name does not suit Sakazuki, not at all. And he decides to rebrand it as the going justice. And so Sakazuki and Morgan sail away leaving Syrup Village to its untimely demise at the hands of the black cat pirates. And at this point, Morgan will probably complain about being hungry and suggest stopping in a baratier, but Sakazuki will tell him to shut up because justice needs no sustenance. And with no reason to travel to our long park, this duo is heading straight to Log Town in order to make their way into the grand line. However, whilst on the island, Sakazuki's justice senses begin to tingle and he encounters at this stage Captain Smoker of the Marines.  This doesn't sit well with Sakazuki though, who will use his overwhelming power to forcibly recruit Smoker regardless. So that is nice and we now have our third justice pirate. And now it's onward into the grand line, flying past Reverse Mountain to encounter an old man, a big whale and a pair of highly comical failures, the latter of which will request that the justice pirates ferry them to whiskey peak. However, Sakazuki has no time or patience for this kind of foolishness. However, being a man of justice, he does agree to let them tag along on the condition that they never open their mouths again. And after taking the log post from Crocus because justice demands it, Sakazuki chooses whiskey peak as his initial path and off we go. And there is a distinct lack of justice on the silent field with bounty hunters. Although because Sakazuki even as a pirate hasn't really done anything notable yet, he doesn't actually have a bounty assigned to him. So it's arguable as to whether or not the Baroque Works agents will even try to capture them. What does happen though is the arrival of Mr. Five and Ms. Valentine who are promptly destroyed, like utterly destroyed by Sakazuki. And after seeing such power, Igram begs Sakazuki to ferry Princess Vivi to Alabasta, which he will do, but more due to hearing about crocodile's actions as a warlord of the sea. And as a man of justice, Sakazuki will simply not stand for this. And after blasting their way through the grand line and several other insignificant Baroque Works agents, Sakazuki, Morgan, and Smoker will eventually land on Alabasta and very, very swiftly defeats our crocodile. This is certainly not taking three attempts like it did with Luffy. Interesting thing though, Sakazuki is going to recognize the devil child Niko Robin as well as the importance of her skills in deciphering the Poneglyphs. Then going on to forcibly invite her aboard the Justice Pirates. Not that Robin would decline though because she's used to working with, you know, fairly shady individuals. And this would just become the latest in a long line of employers. Pretty big stuff now though because Robin will refuse to leave Alabasta until she has seen its Poneglyph, which as we know, reveals the location of the ancient weapon Pluton.  So through whatever means necessary, which is the core of absolute justice, Sakazuki will quote, unquote, convince Robin to reveal its location. And just like that, an ancient weapon is going to be resurrected. Which does sadly mean that we will say goodbye to the going justice. Now for Justice Pirates and Continual Board Pluton gaining global notoriety, which makes the world government pay attention to Sakazuki for the first time. We're then opening bounty of, oh, I don't know, roughly four billion berries being issued. And if you think that's way too much, just remember, Sakazuki now controls an ancient weapon, as well as the knowledge of Niko Robin and one of the most devastating double fruit abilities in existence. And in fact, this unparalleled power is going to make him immediately the fifth Emperor of the Sea, beating Mufi to that point by a whole two years. Skipping Skypeer now because Sakazuki has no interest in adventure, we now arrive at Water Seven, where the whole Cypherpole thing is going to happen, Robin will be captured and force the Justice Pirates to embark to any slobby aboard the Pluton, of course, in order to rescue their Nakama. And this goes very poorly for Cypherpole and the world government, because while his crew may not necessarily be up to the challenge, they are superfluous, because Sakazuki just marches in Luffy style and decimates every one and everything in sight. Not only reclaiming Robin, but also recognizing Rob Luchi, or more specifically, the usefulness of a man like Rob Luchi, thus asking the leopard do to join his crew. And if this seems like a strange course of action at all, let's just remember that Luchi is a perfect tool for absolute justice because he does not possess pesky moral boundaries. He will do anything that he is ordered to, which means that Sakazuki can order him to do all sorts of dark and twisted things for the grander ideology of justice. So yay, we now have five official Justice Pirates and Sakazuki will use Pluton to destroy any slobby because this judicial island is but a farce in the face of true justice. Making our way very comfortably through the Florian Triangle, we will briefly stop at Sabadi, our halfway point, during which time Sakazuki becomes aware of the supernovas and seeing them as a slight to the idea of justice, he will defeat each and every one of them, much like how Kizaro beat a whole ton of them in the actual story. Now, one of the slightly painful aspects of Sabadi is going to be finding someone who can coat the entirety of the ancient weapon Pluton so that it can travel underwater and through the Fishman Island passage into the New World. Although interesting idea because since we do have control of Pluton, it is entirely possible that it is powerful enough to just blast a hole in the red line and allow the Justice Pirates to sail straight along into the New World. If so, Sakazuki would inadvertently create the old blue and make Sanji's dream all of a sudden very, very achievable. But through whatever means our Justice Pirates are moving into the second half of the ground line, we'd no time skip required because unlike the straw hat, Sakazuki is not significantly underpowered. And having come this far without a whole lot to stop him, this trend is very much going to continue. No matter what path we go down, things remain fairly consistent for Mr. Sakazuki and the only issue is really encountering the forces of the other emperors, most of which would become dispatched fairly easily due to Sakazuki's own power as well as of course, out of Pluton. And one way or the other, Sakazuki is eventually going to discover the existence of the road pornoglyphs. This may be by making it to the final island of the ground line where the whole pornoglyph revelation occurs, or he may stumble upon this information far before then like the straw hats did. He's a crafty guy, you know? Either way, we will eventually be faced with confronting both Big Mom and Kaido, who each possess a road pornoglyph. And even with Pluton victory against these emperors is not a super simple thing to achieve. And Sakazuki will require a grand degree of forces at his disposal, which I imagine would be gathered primarily via the same method as Big Mom and Kaido, which is basically intimidation to build their empires. Sakazuki defeats pirates and then forces them to submit under his jolly justice, very quickly becoming most feared of all of the emperors. And from their waging war against Big Mom and Kaido, at least individually, is not so much of an issue thanks once again to Pluton. I mean, Sakazuki might not defeat the two of the emperors individually, but their empires will melt in the face of burning justice. Leaving Sakazuki with two road pornoglyphs, three after finding the rather defenseless soul. And wherever the fourth one is, it is not safe from this man who is now the undisputed front runner to pirate kingdom. And at this point, it honestly becomes very difficult to see anything capable of stopping Sakazuki. The greatest singular force in this world would be the Marines, but taking into account their demonstration at Marineford in the actual series, quite frankly, they don't have a chance. Magma Man is pretty unstoppable in this position, going on to discover the location of Laugh Tale, landing on the island, discovering the One Piece, and eventually widely being publicized as our new pirate king, All Hail. It's a pretty scary thought, really. Like I know I've probably grossly over simplified this latter part of the journey, but with a man like Sakazuki, there is a very potent snowball effect. He is able to gain power and momentum at a rate that is obviously impossible for Luffy, who has had to endure the more slow burn journey. And there are definitely a lot of problems with this tale of events, mainly being that One Piece is so heavily affected by fate and inherited will, something that Sakazuki does not possess. At least not when it comes to the ancient kingdom, Roger, Joy Boy, and all of that stuff that is heavily implied to be necessary for Luffy to ultimately become the pirate king. But we do have to cast all of that aside here because this exploration concedes all of that when we make Sakazuki the protagonist. We have to accept that those sorts of features are no longer in play, or if they are, they are in play for Sakazuki's favor. But I do think this gives us some pretty great insight into Oda's comments. What's really interesting to think about is how long One Piece would have been in total if Sakazuki had been the protagonist all along. I think Oda very likely would have finished the series within his initial five-year real-time publishing goal. And in terms of in-world time, well, Sakazuki would have become the pirate king in a matter of months. I mean, the series probably wouldn't have been a mega hit the One Piece turned out to be with Luffy at the helm, but hey, I'd certainly be pretty keen to read this alternate incarnation of the manga.

But for now, this has been the ground line review and I'll see you next time.


So, I work at an agency called Industrial, we're based out of Ottawa, it might be the only Ottawa dev that's not working for Shopify at RailsConf, I don't know. But we're an agency and we work closely with clients, and the software is consistently evolving as we're working on it, and it's kind of just a nice way of saying that clients change their mind a lot, which is totally fine, but the challenge is finding ways of designing software that's open and flexible to change. So, I recently finished a project that was a big survey, it was a lot of forms, so the whole application was a form, and before I started I want to come up with a way that would be adaptable, because we knew the survey wasn't really set in stone, there would be new questions to add, old questions to remove, and the path that the user would go down from one form to the next was shifting. So, this is the challenge. If your data model matches your form, this is an easy problem. Rails has excellent defaults for creating a form that matches your data model. If you need to nest models, it means using accepts nested attributes for, and it's one of those things that's a little bit magical, and I don't quite know what's happening there, but once your form starts to get a bit complicated, you have to resort to hackas if statements in your models for validations, and these can get a bit unruly. It's difficult to understand the context of what's happening, and changing it becomes more difficult. So I've been curious about finding good ways to solve this problem for a long time, and there are countless ways of doing it. A lot sort of depends on your specific use case and requirements. For example, you can store fields in a session, that's a very good option. Say if you have a wizard where a user fills in their information, their name, their email, their address, and then you store all that data in a session at each step, and the process is done, and you save everything to the database at the very end. There's a gem called Wicked, which is really talented at splitting up single models into multiple steps. And then you add conditional validation to your model based on which step you're on. This is a state machine, which I'm not a huge fan of. They kind of start off simple, and they get unruly pretty quick. And for a form, it seems kind of like throwing a flamethrower at a candle, a flight of candle or something. Another option I've tried is to nest your models. There was a really good talk a few years ago at RailsConf by Andy Malay, and the basic idea is you have a big model, you split it up into nested chunks, and you validate each chunk separately. It's cool stuff. And all these options are great, but they're not really for me. And the reason is that a lot of these options struggle because the models are trying to bend to presentation details. They're trying to match the form to the database to make validating the form easier, but to me our models shouldn't care about presentation details. And I kind of totally get why this happens. Forms are kind of in this weird space. They're part view, they're part model. They're both those things at the same time. And we all know we're taught not to put business logic in our view, but what's never said is not to put view logic into our models. So let's not do it. This is Ruby after all, and we can do whatever we want. So if those previous options I mentioned, I don't really like them, what is a good option? So I really like form objects. It's a good alternative. They're model agnostic in that not all your data needs to live on one big model. You can have small models that are tightly focused and just grab what you need for the form. They're kind of these custom layers between your view and your model. And I'm gonna take you a few ways of writing them. I'm gonna roll your own and I'm gonna use a gem called reform. And first of all, let's just define it like what is it? So put simply a form object just an object that we pass into form for. So this is sort of the standard way of creating a form. We're just passing in a person active record model into form for here. This is not a form object, but the idea is the same. It doesn't have to be an active record model. It can be anything you want. And this is the real power behind form objects. Instead of being limited to active record models, we can compose objects from any attribute in our database. And as you'll see, this opens up the doors for some really flexible designs. So let's look at an example to make things clear. We're gonna be building a service where dog walking companies can sign up and manage their clients. So a user signs in and this is the onboarding wizard before they can use the application. It consists of three forms. The first thing we ask for is the name and phone number of the company. On the second form, we ask them to add in some addresses and they can add and remove multiple addresses. And finally there's a settings panel where we ask for their name, the size of their company, their subscription type, the time zone, their language preference. And that's it, so just those three forms. And it seems deceptively simple. But there's some challenges here. So in the first form, the challenge is nested data. The phone model is a child of company. And is there a better alternative than accepts nested attributes for? In the second form, our data matches our model pretty closely. Exactly in this form. And I'm sort of wondering, is using a form object in this example a good alternative or not? What are the advantages of doing that? And the challenge of the third form is that data is scattered all over the place. As you'll notice, we're saving to company again. And all these fields are required and we're going to save each step as we go along each form. And this can make validation difficult if we had to validate the entire model when it's saved. And we can imagine outside of this example, there might be many more attributes on these models that would have their own rules for validation, perhaps their own forms. This is just a simple example for the purpose of this talk. But you know you can be built forms, things get complicated quick. Okay, so let's build the first one. I'm gonna show you how to write this using a form object just with tools that Rails gives us. And then I'll refactor that with reform and then we'll compare afterwards. So this is your standard Rails controller, nothing too exciting here. The only difference is the instance variable for our view is companyform.new. For the create action, we're passing in some company parameters. And there's strong parameters and the attributes are name and number. And even though number is nested, we don't have to remember what the syntax is for strong parameters. It doesn't matter in this case. And this is our form view. I'm using simple form here, but form4 works great too. And you'll notice we're just passing our company form. We have our name for our company and our number for phone. And notice that these form inputs are flat. There's no nesting happening here at all. No need for a form fields block, even though the phones are nested under company. So let's make our form object, we just make a new class. We include active model model, which will give us validation, translations, and allows us to create an object that's very close to an active record model. And we do that by defining some attributes, name and number. And then we define those attributes where they're gonna go to once they're saved. So in this case, a new company and a nested company phone. Next we add in validation. This is your standard presence validation. You can get fancy here with some regex on the phone number, do all kinds of stuff, but we're just gonna keep it simple for this presentation. And this points to a method. And the purpose of this validation method is to display errors, validation errors. So Rails uses accept nested attributes for to display nested error messages. So if we didn't define this method, any nested models, like our phone model here would fail validation, but the error messages wouldn't show up because they're nested under company.  So we write this method here, display errors, and that's all it does. It just bubbles up error messages from child relationships up to the parent. And speaking of which, we need to create that. So this method will now act like a company model. Company is gonna be our parent in this case. And it's gonna point to the company controller in the same way that the company model would. Next we have to define our own save method. So let's do that. So how this works is when we call save, it's gonna run through the validations. If it's not valid, it's gonna bubble up our error messages. If it is, we create a transaction. And then that calls save on everything. And these are bang methods. So if anything here fails, it's gonna be rolled back and nothing's gonna actually be saved to the database. And there's no way for the controller to infer the ID of the company. We're gonna need that when we redirect to the next form. So we just create that. We just need to create the company ID method and we're just gonna create that in our form object just with a delegate. That's our form object. So not too difficult to write. Stays really close to the rails way. Our controllers don't change much and it's a nice way to do it. The tricky thing about rolling your own is you're on your own. You have to write every little thing from scratch, from saving, to bubbling up validations. And the more complicated your form gets, perhaps the more complicated logic you need to figure out on these kind of base layer things that you might need to do. So there's a gem out there called reform. And it's part of the Trailblazer ecosystem maybe. So Trailblazer is a talk on its own. And I'm not gonna go too deep down that rabbit hole, but essentially it's a way of extending MVC. So the basic premise is you organize your code not by model, view controller, but by concept. And inside each concept or a component maybe you could call it, our service objects called operations. And reform is one kind of operation, the purpose of which is to build forms. And the nice thing about Trailblazer is you can use just bits and pieces of it, you don't need to use the whole thing. And in the last app I built, I just used reform and it worked out great. So let's refactor this form object that we just built to use reform. So as soon as we've installed the gem, we need to inherit from reform form. Reform doesn't know anything about Rails, so we'll remove active model, model. Next we have a very similar idea to our accessor methods here. And they're called properties, and they perform the exact same function, defining and writing to our attributes. We previously had to define the model that this object is gonna be talking to. And one difference is in the controller here, reform needs an argument. And so we're gonna do the exact same thing by passing in our company. So it is passing company.new into our form object, and we can get rid of this. And we don't need this delegate method anymore. So I'll talk more about validation in general. But the nice thing is that all this custom logic we wrote to handle error messages bubbling up from nest models is irrelevant. It's taken care of for us. So let's get rid of that. And now because we're passing in a new company from the controller, this method is already defined for us. It can infer what the new company is. It's now on the controller now instead of on the form object. So what we're left with is initializing the nested phone method. And we haven't passed it in through the controller, so it needs to define it here on the form itself. Because it's a nested object under company, reform has a specific way to define that type of relationship. It's called a collection. It's a block. And you just call it by the same name as the thing you're nesting. So phones, in this case. And then we define the properties inside the collection. So number in this case. And the one thing that has to change is our form. So we can no longer keep this flat view that's kind of nice. We have to introduce fields4 here. And fields4 just matches two collections inside reform. And for saving, we don't need to write our own logic to save it to the database. We'll do something mildly different on the controller to account for that. But for now, let's get rid of those strong parameters. Strong parameters are no longer a thing that we need to worry about. We set these attributes when we define properties on the form object. And reform will ignore any undefined parameters. So we can just safely remove those. And we'll just pass in a company here. And the main difference here is how we save it. In the other form object, we made sure to validate before saving. And instead, we'll do this on the controller here. So we just call companyform.validate. We pass in the parameters that the form gives us, and then we call save. But something is wrong. Should look like this, but it looks like this. Maybe you've had that experience before. So to fix that, we can do something like this. We just need to instantiate that nested model on the controller. And this will work, but reform has its own method for just this occasion. And it's called pre-populate. And we'll define that in the form object. All we need to do is add a pre-populator method to the collection. We're calling it build phone, but you can call it whatever you want. And it does pretty much what you'd expect. We grab our collection, and collections are in arrays, so we can't call dot build or dot new on it. And you just treat it like an array, and you append a new phone on it. Now it's displaying correctly, I think it's looking pretty good. One thing we have left to do is make sure that our primary flag gets set to true when we save this form. Let's remove this leftover from the previous example, and we'll deal with that. It's really easy, all we need to do is add the property primary, set a default. It's done. So one issue though is if you try to run this, if you run your tests, phones aren't saving. And the reason is that reform makes no assumptions about nested data. It understands the parent object company. We've passed that into the form object, but collections are different. So even though we've defined it, reform won't assume to know which model it's supposed to persist to. So we need to tell it. And we do that with something called a populator. So now I know what you might be thinking, there's pre-populators, populators, what's going on here? So an easy way to think about it is pre-populators are new in edit actions. They're called manually with pre-populate. They prepare the form for rendering. They're all about displaying it. And they can fill in some default fields into the form itself if you want. Populators are about creating and updating. They're called every time you validate. And they prepare the form for validating. And they make sure that everything goes back into the right model where it's supposed to go. So at its most basic, you can add a setting to the collection called Populative Empty. And you just pass in the class that you want to map it to. And that'll make sure that when you validate, it's going to persist to the phone class and try to validate against that. So that's our form object. We just need some validation in there and we're good to go. And that's it. So that's our first form, two ways to write it. And the first way, we rolled our own. The second way, we used reform. And here's a side-by-side comparison. So on the left is rolling our own reform on the right. And it's pretty obvious that there's a lot less code to write for the reform option. For the controller, I would say it's a bit of a wash. The roller, your own on the left, is a bit cleaner and simpler because we just call save on it. But we don't have to use strong parameters anymore. It's kind of a nice added side benefit. So let's go on to the next one. I'm going to go quickly through the next ones. So this form is adding and removing addresses. And it's happening on one model, the address model. As our controller, we're using the edit and update actions. And we're making a new address form. And we're passing in our previously created company right into that form. And we're calling pre-populate. In our form, we have a couple of things going on. We have fields for addresses here. And it's calling a partial called address form. And inside that partial, it looks like this. And this is just, it has all of our fields for address. And it has this hidden field called destroy. And that's just going to mark it as 1 or 0. Like if you say destroy this thing, it's going to mark it as 1. Otherwise, it's going to be 0. And then we just have some custom helper here with a little JavaScript. Just going to add a partial. And you can just add more addresses when you click a button. Remove one when you click another button. So in our form object, we inherit from reform form. We add in our collection for addresses. Destroy is flagged as a virtual attribute. So it's not actually anything that's going to the database. For pre-populator, we're doing very much the same thing we did before, just making sure we have one new address to display on the form. And our populator, we're going to have to write some custom logic to handle the adding and removal of addresses. So previously, we wrote populate if empty and pass in our class. And now we're going to write our own custom thing. So there's a couple methods in here that are part of reform's DSL, fragment, and collection. So collection is going to iterate over all your addresses. So if you called company.addresses, you might get five addresses back. That's the collection. The fragment is each individual address with an ID. And the populator will loop through every record, every fragment inside the collection. So we see if we have an address. We define it as a local variable. We try to find it on the collection to see if there's an ID of a fragment on there. And if we find a fragment, everything is good. We return that. If it's empty, we make one. And if we see that on the fragment destroy is set to one, we delete that fragment from the collection. And then the skip method will just skip to the next fragment in the loop. And the last thing we need here is our validation. And we'll just pop that in there. And we're done. We can now add or remove multiple addresses here. And the last form in this example, this one's kind of tricky because data's all over the place. So we have some stuff from companies, some stuff from user, an account. And we've previously saved a company. So we don't want to necessarily revalidate company again. We just want to validate it every time we put something into the database. And it's really easy to solve this. So this is our form. And you'll notice that there's no fields for anywhere in here. It's flat. There's another way to do it. We're just listing attributes. We're not caring about the data. And we're going to define that data on the controller. So there's a company, there's the user, an account. And then all we're going to do with this form is we're going to pass those three models as a hash into our form object, just like that. And in our form object, we include this module called composition that comes with reform. I'll show you what it looks like. So we define the company as the parent model that we're going to save to. And that's really easy. We just add in our properties. And then we just tell it which properties belong where. And we do that with this on attribute. So time zone is on company. First name is on user. You get the idea. Anywhere we might have a name clash, like each record's ID. We just give it a new property name. And we tell where it's from. And because we're explicitly passing in objects into the form object with the hash and using composition, reform can just figure out where everything is saving to. So there's no need to define populators or pre-populators on this form. And the last thing we do is just add in our validations. And it's all done. So what are the advantages of doing this? So form objects are model agnostic. You no longer need to even consider the view when setting up your data model. And there's kind of an ancillary benefit to this, which is like small, tightly focused models, not these giant behemoth models. And not that I'm recommending it, but you could forego having any validation on your models whatsoever. And instead, rely on the fact that the right data is getting to the right place based on the inputs that are coming in. And at the very least, this means no conditional validation in your models. We're validating the form, not the model itself, sort of a different way of thinking about it. And this follows rest. We essentially have one controller per form. And it's just following the rest actions. It's very tightly focused and easy to understand controller. There's nothing too exciting about it. These are easy to test. So to test these forms, I would typically have a copy bar integration test running through the whole wizard. And then testing the form objects themselves is really nice. With reform especially, you just pass in a hash into the form and call validate on it. And you can just make sure you're getting the right error messages that way. You don't need to set up a whole active record model to pass into the form. You can just set up the data that you're passing into the form. And so those tests are nice to work with. They're fast, and they're easy to write. So this is also easy to extend and modify. If our client comes back and wants to change the order of our wizard, or wants to change which attributes appear on which forms, we can do so. Without much effort. And the last thing, you can use them when you need to. There's nothing wrong with using the Rails defaults, but it makes sense to do so. But as soon as things get a bit more complicated, this is a really good tool to have in your back pocket. So give it a try on your next form. See what it's like. You might really like it. It's a nice thing. You can just incorporate it into legacy apps. It's a nice little pattern. So thank you. Yes, the question is about the reform jam. How stable is it? I think it's very stable from what I've been working on it. It's very actively maintained. So I don't know what the point releases are going to be like, but right now it's in version two. And I think there's some big plans for three. I'm not sure about that. So I'm not sure. But so far it's been really nice to work with. And I've just been using the latest gem. And it's been working really great. Yeah, so the question was about foregoing validation on the form, and when do you decide to validate just the model or just the form? And I guess it's like you kind of have to make that call. When is it crucial that your company has a name? Like if it doesn't have a name and the whole application blows up, then maybe it makes sense to have it on the model. And if you're, say, in the Rails console or something, and you as a developer are creating a company for somebody, maybe you want to make sure that the company at least has a name. So just kind of play it by ear. Yeah, you kind of want to be careful with that stuff. But in general, for the stuff that's not too, too critical, I would just say leave it off them well. OK, well thank you very much for coming.


What is the one LinkedIn activity that can move the needle the furthest and the fastest in your business? My LinkedIn expert friends would agree. It is leaving a thoughtful comment on someone else's LinkedIn post. Today, we're discussing this super strategy and how you can put it to work for you and your business. Stick around. And it's Leigh-Anne and when I wake up each morning and open LinkedIn on my browser, I'm faced with a number of decisions to make. What should I do first? Should I check out my notifications or maybe respond to some of the direct messages I've received? Perhaps I should be creating a brand new piece of content. The thing is, none of these activities are going to move the needle as fast as this one. So the question I really should be asking myself is, who can I engage with on the platform by leaving a thoughtful comment on their LinkedIn post? This is what will exponentially increase my chances of being noticed and increase the no-like and trust factor very quickly with that contact. So today, we're talking about the reasons why commenting is so powerful and then more importantly, how you can get started on your own LinkedIn commenting strategy. But before we start, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and click on that little bell to be notified of new content. I create content around LinkedIn and personal branding specifically for the hospitality industry and I don't want you to miss a thing. Now let's get started on those reasons why commenting on someone's LinkedIn post is such a powerful engagement strategy. Reason number one, when you comment on someone's post, it puts you now front and center with that person. The content creator receives a notification about your comment and that of course increases your chances of your comment being seen by that person. They'll be encouraged to revisit their content and look at what you have written. Secondly, it then opens a dialogue between you and that content creator. With a very thoughtful comment, you may garner a response from the content creator themselves, making this a powerful strategy for furthering the connection and the dialogue with the content creator. A strategic volley of dialogue can potentially move onto LinkedIn's direct messaging feature or offline altogether. And that is really where we want to be with our LinkedIn activity. Reason number three is when you comment, you also open a dialogue with the other individuals that have commented on that post. Others who have engaged in the post, either with a like or another comment, will see your comment through a notification and be pulled into the dialogue. This opens more doors for discussion and more opportunities to meet like-minded people on the platform. Reason number four, you can then turn your comment into your own creative post, which saves you time on some repurposing. You can repurpose your thoughtful comment into your own post that you can post either today or at a later time. Now you also have the opportunity to further the dialogue with the original content creator by tagging them in the content that you've created and maybe some of the other commenters as well. This again creates more dialogue and more opportunity for you to connect with those individuals.  Now that we've seen that commenting is a powerful strategy, we need to find some content in order for us to comment on. The first and most obvious place is your home feed. Scroll the home feed for relevant conversations posted by your first degree connections and, of course, their connections. This is a great way to find some low hanging fruit. You also might want to create a target list of individuals that you would like to listen in on and you can do that through a few ways. You can find these individuals to listen in on either through the search function, maybe even through your first and second degree connections. Once you've identified someone, make a note of that person and revisit their content on a regular basis so that you can find some content to comment on. You may also consider clicking on their little notifications bell. This is a great way for you to be notified of their new content so that you can comment in a timely manner. You can also find these conversations within the LinkedIn groups. Finding those conversations opens up the doors to new connections and maybe some existing ones as well. Check out LinkedIn groups that are relevant to your industry and start listening in on the conversations today. And finally, don't forget about those hashtag discussions. By pulling up a hashtag, you'll see all the conversations relevant to that topic and be able to find content that you can follow and comment on. Once you find some content to comment on, there are a few best practices on how best to leave your comment. First and foremost, make sure that your comment is relevant to the conversation. If you decide to comment on a post, ensure that your contribution goes well beyond the, I like this post or I don't like this post. Add context to your comment, including why you agree or disagree and add any extra contributions to support your position. Secondly, make your comment about your target audience so that those who are listening in from the outside still feel that there's a place for them in the conversation. It also supports your position as a thought leader for your ideal clients and helps boost your no like and trust factor with your intended audience. Thirdly, ensure that your comment is accurate. If you're able to boost the position of your comment with some relevant stats and research, this helps secure and cement your position as a thought leader. Whatever advice you offer, ensure it's moving your target audience towards a solution or towards more dialogue around the issue. And fourthly, make sure that your comment is not self-serving. Commenting is not a place for us to sell our products and services. If the content itself is seeking answers and your product or service answers that request, then of course you can offer your products information. But if it doesn't fit the need, you may risk doing more harm than good. Use some common sense here when offering information about your product or service when leaving a thoughtful comment. I encourage you to try commenting on LinkedIn content as part of your LinkedIn strategy this year. In fact, I encourage you to try a few different things this year. And if you're looking for ways to level up your LinkedIn game and try some different content formats, I invite you to join the Five Days to Five Ideas LinkedIn Content Challenge. These five ideas are some of the best performing content formats on LinkedIn. And I give you simple, actionable steps, an easy way to get started on each one. Head on over to liankolderwood.com forward slash challenge to start your challenge today. Friends, whatever your LinkedIn strategy, I wish you all the best this upcoming year in building your leads and growing your personal brand using LinkedIn. Stay in touch. We'll see you next time. Bye for now.
