Okay, so I did not expect this to come today, but I got a text that this arrived at my door and I was like, okay, drop what I'm doing for today's video. I'm going to be reviewing the new Natasha Denona glam face palette. So if you wanna see my thoughts on that, some comparisons, a demo, all that good stuff, then just keep watching. Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan. I am a product knowledge enthusiast. I love knowing anything and everything about all the new makeup on the market and sharing my thoughts with you guys, particularly Natasha Denona. They are one of those brands on my channel that I cover everything from. So I ordered this from the Natasha Denona website. I did pre-order it, so that's how I was able to get my hands on it. I know a lot of you guys were holding off to see if you could get this for the Sephora sale. Congrats to you if you did, because it's already sold out. Like I didn't even have a chance to post about it being live on Sephora, because it was sold out by the time I woke up.  But it did just come back in stock at Sephora, so if you're rouge, run. Add it to your cart now, if you want it. It did, however, just launched today on BeautyLation. Everywhere else that it is available, I will have it linked down below for your convenience. Yeah, I like ordering from Natasha Denona. I think they have really good shipping. It's very well protected. I also really love BeautyLish as well. I try to order from BeautyLash when I can. They always package very nicely, and they also have fantastic shipping, so those are my personal recommendations. I love Sephora, but I hate their shipping. My stuff comes broken a lot. Yeah, anyways. That's where I ordered, and you can get it at all the places. It actually launched November 5th. So, like I said, this is the Natasha Denona Glam Face Palette. It's going to be $59. And it is supposed to give you a complete ultra glam look. If you aren't familiar with the Natasha Denona line, she has quite a few glam products. We have my all-time favorite palette from Natasha Denona, the glam palette, which gives you these cooler neutrals. We also have the mini glam, a little bit warmer, but still quite neutral. So now we have the whole face palette. So I think the glam line is doing well for her. I think what's really great about this palette is she's offered a light version and a dark version. Kudos to you, Natasha, for doing that. I really do feel like she's listened to her customers. It's not often that brands will come out with multiple color palettes, and I do have the light with me. I don't have the dark, but looking at least at the photos, it seems like the dark is going to do a good job of covering the deeper skin tone range. Can't speak for that personally. I did pick up the light. It looked more appealing to me. I am of a lighter skin tone. So this is a limited edition, by the way. So I do believe it's kind of like a holiday palette. I don't know. Natasha DiDona is a feon whether or not it's limited edition, but I would say most of the time her limited edition stuff is actually limited edition, but you do have some time to purchase. So this is what the box looks like. Comes in this light champagne reflective packaging. And then here's the back. If you need to take a look at any of the ingredients, feel free to pause. You'll see that the palette is made in Italy and it has an 18 month shelf life. And the outer packaging is actually much more beautiful than I anticipated. So it is that mirrored front. You can see all of my fingerprints on it already, but I love how everything is like more rounded. I don't know. Her packaging hasn't ever been so rounded. It just looks very chic to me. It's really, really cute in terms of sizing compared to the glam palette. It is slightly, slightly smaller than a midi palette, but just barely. I like that it is a magnetic closure and it does kind of hold up on its own. If you're using this as a mirror, you do get a nice mirror. And then here is what the palette looks like. We have five eyeshadows along the bottom and then we have two face products up top. I love that we get a cover and it doesn't even fall down. It holds up on its own, small things, but it makes a difference when applied to cover the cheek products. It's a blush, it's a cream. So that's the packaging. I am going to turn the lights down. We're gonna do some swatches. I like to turn it really dim because I feel like you can really see the colors here. So take a good look at the formulas. I'm gonna swatch the face products first. I'm really excited about this cream blush because I haven't seen this formula since the Mini Bloom palette, which was the first of her little face swatch. She also has this formula in the Daria palette and the other big face palette. But her recent tan love, little love, all of these have not had this cream blush formula. I love it. If you look really closely, it looks like kind of like a soft matte. Now what I am seeing is a little bit of glitters. I don't know if you can see that, but let's swatch it. It actually feels a little bit more dry. It doesn't feel really like a wet cream. I would say it feels almost like a powder, but as we're getting in the underlayer here, it does start to feel a little bit more creamy, but it's definitely a drier cream. It's very interesting. And it's not overly pigmented, but it looks really beautiful. I actually quite like this shade. So the cream blush is described as a neutral pink with a matte finish. Let's do the Star Glow highlight. Ooh, this feels really creamy. It definitely feels like a powder though, but very, very smooth and pigmented. A light champagne with a metallic finish. Oh my gosh, that looks absolutely gorgeous. I think I'm really going to like this. I guess she's labeled how to use them. Obviously you can use them however you would like. I mean, these definitely make sense to me. Transition crease, smoke, outer corner, inner corner, make sense to me, but of course you can use it however you would like. And she got a lot of feedback that was quite negative about labeling the shadows like these when she came out with the glam palette, you know, like the crease, outer corner, because it didn't translate well depending on what your skin tone was. I guess now that she has two different versions, that kind of helps with that. So let's do it. I'm going to go into the inner corner. Oh, my goodness, okay. The transition and the crease shade. These feel really, really good. You definitely have to like neutrals for this palette though. But we have a light nude with a metallic finish. And we have a nude pink with a matte finish. And we have a medium nude with a matte finish. Okay, we're going to do outer corner. Oh my gosh, these metallic shades feel incredible. The mattes feel in line with her regular mattes. Beautiful as ever, but I can't get over this. We have a nude rose gold with a metallic finish and a dark brown with a matte finish. I mean, listen, boring as you may call this, these are the kind of colors that I like to wear. I love this color story here. My initial thoughts on this, I definitely looked at it and was like, that looks like something that I do not need at all, but I love it. I love these colors. So here are what the final swatches look like. I don't believe she's come out with a metallic formula quite like this, cause these are almost flaky, but in a really creamy way. Like they're not flaky all over, but they're absolutely gorgeous. I'm very happy with the swatches. So we are going to start off with the cream blush. I'm going to apply with a sponge on one side and then a brush on the other. So I'm just going to use my Beauty Blender. Gonna get in there. It's quite subtle when I do this. It's actually like the perfect application for a natural blush. So I did just press a little bit harder in the pan. I mean, that's absolutely gorgeous. How it compares to the cream blush in the mini bloom is that mini bloom is way too pigmented. I still love that mini bloom cream blush, but this is definitely more subdued and this is kind of a great everyday color. I'm going to use a BK Beauty 106 just to see if it differs at all. I feel like this picked up initially more color. It is more dense. And I like the way both are applying. I don't know that I have a preference. I think I will choose based on what I use to apply my foundation. I feel like the sponge side is a little bit more natural. That's for sure. The brush I picked up more pigment, but I like this blush. It didn't seem to pick up any of the foundation underneath. And it's a really beautiful natural wearable color. So I'm a fan of that. Let's do the highlight now. This looks insanely gorgeous. The Star Glow. Oh, yes. So we do get a little bit of kickback. This is gorgeous. It's definitely a metallic finish, but not an unflattering metallic finish. You know how sometimes metallic finishes just don't quite blend into the skin? They look like they sit on top of the skin and emphasize texture. This is not giving me that. It's blending into the skin beautifully. It's a solid highlight. I mean, we have so many highlights now that takes a lot for a highlight to really, really impress me, but this is definitely one of the good ones. This is a beautiful highlight, actually. Okay. So the face products I'm loving. Let's get to the eyeshadow now. I just have a little bit of concealer on my eyelid that's gonna suffice for our base today. As far as I can tell just by the swatches, I mean, this is consistent with her regular line formula. So we're gonna start off with the transition. I think I'm definitely going to do as they suggest here. So I'm using an Alomar Cosmetics brush. We do get a little bit of kickback as you do with typical Natasha Denona matte shades. This is a beautiful kind of pinky transition shade. Very nice. I mean, I definitely feel like this palette caters to my skin tone very well as to where they suggest to apply it because even this transition shade is like the perfect transition color for me. And transition colors are where it can get a little dicey. It's actually a transition color or not. And that along the lower lash line. But the point of a transition color is kind of to cover basically almost the entire eye. Not quite, but really this is the color that's going to peek through underneath the look. I'm just gonna stay with this brush. Let's dig into the crease shade now. This has a little bit more of a brown base to it.  Natasha is not going to mess up a neutral palette. That's for sure. I mean, everything is blending. For a typical crease shade, you don't wanna go quite as high as the transition. You can see I still have my transition peeking through. But the transition also kind of leads down the base to help the crease colors blend better.  And I'm just gonna pop this in kind of the outer V area. And on me, it honestly isn't too dark for a smoke shade. I typically prefer something a little bit deeper. I think you're definitely gonna get that smokiness with the deeper palette. I know a number of you said, you know, you're light like me, but the eyeshadows in the deeper palette appealed to you better. So if you are that person that almost likes, not quite a black, but pretty close, a deep, deep brown outer V for smoke, that's what you're gonna get in the deep palette. I feel like I would have liked the deep palette too. I would have had to adjust, of course, especially with those face products. But the deep looked really pretty, and you guys are right. The shadows in the deep really allow for like a deep smoky glam eye if you're around my skin tone. And I know a number of people actually already have reviews up with the deep palette and it looked gorgeous. So if you're into more of a deeper kind of neutral glam, take a peek into those reviews of the deeper palette. Kind of regret not picking it up now. So this is about as deep as I'm able to get it. And obviously I have other shades from other palettes that I can dig into. But in terms of if I was stuck on an island and only had this palette, I would feel like a black or even deeper chocolate brown. Definitely more suited towards lighter skin tones because it's not like it didn't add depth. It definitely did. Let's play with the exciting shadows. So this outer corner shade right here, I'm gonna put this in the outer half of my lid. Oh my goodness. These formulas are reason enough to buy this palette. This is right up my alley four formula. It's not quite a glitter, but it has that texture that makes it look glittery. It's not chunky at all. Oh my goodness, I'm not getting too much fallout. This is so pretty. Okay, let's do the inner corner color now. I'm just popping it to the rest of my lid. Oh yeah. I mean, I am very pleased with this look and this palette.  And it's gonna add a little bit more depth to this look. Let me add a little bit more of the smoke out here. So in terms of fallout, maybe just a little bit from those lid shades, you can always adjust that with a little bit of glitter glue, but honestly, not bad at all with the fallout. I'm going to take a little bit of the outer corner metallic shade and let's just brighten up the eye down here. Just a little bit. Oh yes, I love this. Okay, I'm gonna finish the rest of my look. We'll do comparisons in my final thoughts. Okay, so here's the final look altogether. I used a brown liner in the waterline, a black liner on the upper lash line and some Ardell lashes on my lips. I'm wearing the Dana Lip Pencil from Natasha Genona and the Claudia Lipstick. I'm freaking obsessed with this look. This is my favorite kind of look. So I wanted to do some swatch comparisons for you guys, but the blush that I wanted to compare and I knew they weren't gonna be the same, but the formula is like the same. So I compared the cream blush to the cream blush in the Bloom palette and they are so different. Honestly, the Bloom palette actually feels a lot creamier and more wet, whereas the blush, which is gonna be right here in the glam face palette, it's a little bit more dry feeling. It feels like a cream powder. I don't know, a cream that's like powdery. It's hard to describe, but it has a lot less pigmentation. It has much more of a matte finish. The Bloom has a crazy amount of pigmentation. So those are not even really comparable. I swatched the Star Glow highlight next to everybody's favorite Natasha highlight, which is Nude Glow. It's more golden and it's a little bit more subdued. The Star Glow is more metallic, but I do like how the Star Glow is blendable into the skin so you can tone it down, but they definitely look different. If you have the I Need a Nude Glow highlight, it's different than the Star Glow highlight. And I also did swatch comparisons between the midi glam palette and the face glam palette, and there really are not dupes. So right here is the face glam. It's gonna be these bottom five shades, and right here is the glam palette. And you can see it's more gray. There's nothing pinky, like the transition shade in the glam face palette. The crease shades are kind of close. The one in the full size glam palette is a little bit more orange, and the smoke shades are actually kind of close, but you can see the slight undertone difference. I feel like maybe in the swatches, the shimmer shades look similar, but in person they don't. You can see the shimmer shades in the face palette have more fine particles of glitter that are very, very pretty. I prefer this metallic formula. Don't get me wrong, the formula in the regular glam palette is beautiful in the metallics, but they're missing those extra little sparkles. And then if you do have the mini glam palette, I wanted to show you, compare it to the face glam palette, and they are not really similar at all. This palette is a little bit more warm and pinky. So this is the face palette, and then this is the mini glam palette. The mini glam definitely is a little bit more taupey. So if you have the mini glam, it's definitely a lot more different from the face palette. Hey, so final thoughts. I mean, I love this palette. In terms of colors that I like to wear, I know that whatever look I create with this palette, I am going to really love it. I really love this cream blush formula. I don't think Natasha has one like this in her collection in terms of colors. It's not overpowering. I feel like you can't apply too much. It's very flattering on my skin tone. The highlight might be a bit too metallic for some of you, but it actually is quite versatile because you can blend it down to be a little bit more natural. I do think most of you would still prefer that I needed a glow highlight, but this one is still beautiful. I really like it. And there's something special about these five shades. I love the formula of the shimmers, the mattes are really easy to work with. Now, is this a unique palette? No, you can probably get very close shades and very similar looks within your own collection. If you have a lot of Natasha products, I mean, again, it's definitely easy to create a similar, if not identical look, but I think it's just about the ease of use with this one. It's very, very travel friendly in terms of it's able to stand up on its own. You have all that you need. It's versatile enough to create a few different looks and it's just really nice and handy to have I'm very happy with this. And I love the formula so much that I really am considering picking up the dark one. I really love this. And even though I have these colors a hundred times over, these are colors that I'm never going to get tired of and the quality is just so good and the curation is so good in this palette. Highly, highly recommend it. Honestly, you guys, it's worth the full price in my opinion. It's very, very convenient and it makes sense and the quality won't disappoint you. So that is all I have for today's review. I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you aren't subscribed to my channel, I would love it if you would consider taking the time to do so and I will see you all in the next one. Bye guys, have a good one.


Can we hear you? Yes. Hello everyone. Thank you very much for being here today for our public annual meeting of the Society of Science and Technology Museums of Canada. I would also like to welcome the people that are joining us on our live broadcast over the internet. So if you saw the technical difficulties we're having, it's because we're having problems putting our English slides on the internet. So people will be treated all in French over the internet right now. Later on, I would like to invite our Chairman, Mr. Gary Bolesky, to speak to us. Thank you. Bonjour. It me fait grand plaisir de vous souhaiter la bienvenue. If I was one of my grandchildren, I could do the rest of this in French, but that's about as far as the kids from Thunder Bay gets. So with your permission, I'll kind of do this in English. And I would like to just acknowledge that it has been a tumultuous year for our museums. The Agricultural Museum is off to, with this new Learning Center, the Aviation Museum with the Living in Space exhibition, which will lead to the Star Trek extravaganza starting in May. And of course, with the Science and Technology Museum, we were blessed with mold, which turned into asbestos, and with sealings that came crashing down. So you might think, well, that's a disaster. But, you know, every spore sort of apparently has its silver lining, and the disaster led to a quarter of a billion dollars, which actually came together yesterday in its second iteration. And so, as you would expect, these are particularly exciting times. And Alex will be going into that in more detail. I'd just like to conclude my remarks by thanking people. I'd like to thank the minister, Minister Jolie, who has been a spectacularly supportive, and her staff, and our own staff, and of course the quarter of a billion dollar kid himself, Alex Binay, and it's time to hear from him. So, Alex, over to you. Merci. Thanks, Gary. A few million short of a quarter billion, but we're working on it. So, merci beaucoup d'être ici. C'est après-midi. Thank you very much for being here this afternoon. I have a few slides to go through with you. I'm used to walking around with my clicker and moving around and stuff, so I feel kind of contained here in front of the camera, so I'm going to apologize in advance if this is a little wonky. But we'll start off by talking about who we are briefly, because we have quite a few people from McGill here, and since we're an Ottawa-based institution, not that we're competing between Ottawa and Montreal, because the Habs would win that every day anyways. Then, let's just tell you a little bit about who we are. So, we're three national museums. Dr. Polanski mentioned that we are the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, which is one of the only, not the only working farm in a nation's capital anywhere in the world. It has hundreds of animals. It has historic artifacts on some of Canada's first pioneers and some agricultural culture. We also have the Aviation Museum of Space, which is a top-10 CNN in the world. We're not quite proud to promote this, but it's really one of the best Aviation Museums of Space in the world, which is just outside of the Ottawa city centre. We also have the Science and Technology Museum, which is set to reopen in November 2007, on time and on budget, and to a whole bunch of rave reviews, and the team's pretty excited about all the work that we're doing on the relaunch of that particular institution. We're going to be redesigning, resetting the bar for what's possible. Two years to tear walls down, bring the walls back up and do 90,000 square feet of exhibition. It's not something we're accustomed to in North America, and it's something that the team is on target for achieving, and we're extremely proud of that. So, three national museums. If you were to look at us by the numbers, we reached over 170 countries in the last few years.  We have over 100 live animals, hundreds of thousands of artifacts, and we are also one of Canada's top science communications shops in the sense that we've reached about 14 million Canadians in the past year, and we're extremely proud of that as well. So that's who we are by the numbers. We're able to speak to and launch an exhibition on Canadian veterinarians caring for war horses in the past year as well. So we also have year-round public and school programming that teach the children about the foods and the products that we produce here in Canada from Canada. We're also able to speak to and launch an exhibition on Canadian veterinarians caring for war horses in the past year as well. That we produce here in Canada from an agricultural perspective. Oh, you can keep clicking through this. Okay. Great. Now, at the Canada Aviation Space Museum, on the opportunity for the last year. So just keep clicking right through. Too much animation in the slides. That's okay. At the Canadian Aviation Museum, we were able to renew most of our expositions or to renew a lot of text on the board. We were able to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the First World War as well. And we were able to do the acquisition and exposition of new planes on the board. So it was a very interesting year. On the next slide, we also launched, from our perspective, Canada's first mobile game, where we were able to take history. So we 3D scanned all the aircraft on the floor down to the rivet and made people fly through structures and artifacts, or sorry, structures and pylons and chute bubbles. So it was good. It was a good first attempt at getting history to merge with digital technology and to see what came of it. So that was our first launch in 1314. And we will talk a little bit later about some of the innovative work that we'll be doing to pursue this kind of historic, history and cultural engagement with digital natives and youths. Frankly, anybody that plays video games. In the museum of science and tech, as Gary mentioned, we opened in September 2014. Never waste a good crisis, as Winston Churchill would have once said. So we've been busy doing quite a few things for the relaunch, which we'll speak to a little bit later. But prior to the closure, we were able to participate in the Ottawa Maker Faire. We ran a whole bunch of summer camps. We are probably one of the museums in Canada that has the largest amount of outreach programs and does the largest amount of youth engagement as well. So we were able to continue that tradition prior to the closure and had had just launched an exhibition on big data as well prior to mold. And I'm not a chemist, but I've been told that Stecchi Botchers is the most aggressive, fastest growing mold spore type there is out of 104,000 types of mold. And that's what hit us in September 2014, which forced us to close, unfortunately. But luckily, with the help of the government of Canada, we've been able to relaunch, or in the process of relaunching the museum, with an $80.5 million capital injection. So we are well on our way for that. However, after closing, what was interesting is when you no longer have a box to think in, because you literally don't have a box anymore, interesting things can happen. So we were able to actually continue our outreach into the community. We crammed all of our programs into a car and started traveling anywhere that this car could go to. So it's called Museums on the Go. Science will be able to schools, libraries, community events, and it's gone extremely well in the process. We've been able to increase our traveling exhibition programs as well as a result of not having to necessarily have a box to run the Science and Tech Museum in. We've been able to get out across Canada. So Echo is in the ice after the finding of the Franklin Bell, for example, and other things. Has been traveling across the country. It was a Library and Archives Canada, and has been traveling across western Canada for the last year. And I think I might have had the fire. So Minecraft, again, this concept of trying to take science and history to youth. Any of you that have children in the room of a certain age will know that they spent a lot of time on Minecraft, which is actually a good game to be on, frankly. So we were able to do workshops at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum run by the Science and Tech Museum. This workshop in particular was in collaboration with kids from Peru, Alaska, Sudbury. They got to build a space shuttle together throughout a bunch of space artifacts on the floor. So they got to see the real thing. They got to create their space shuttle on Minecraft to launch up into Mars and go mine to Mastroids, I should say, sorry. So in a typical youth fashion, we were able to sort of supervise to make sure there are interactions. It's quite fascinating to see youth interact across the various countries in South America and North America and see how exactly, very similar they can be, actually, in some of their interactions. From a corporation perspective, we were also able to launch an initiative for greening of the enterprise as well. So we've been able to continue the trend of going greener. As some of you may know, yesterday we had an announcement of $156 million collection reserve facility, which will be state-of-the-art and continue the pattern that we have of making our buildings greener and more efficient and sustainable. So we have also been able to continue down that trend from a corporate perspective, even though one of our three museums has been closed. On the next slide is where we talk about really starting to look at how digital culture and heritage institutions such as ours and science museums, because we're a bit of a weird mix of all of those things combined at the Science and Technology Museums Corporation and really sort of launch into the open and open heritage sort of movement. So we were able to launch the app. As I talked about, our national collection database is online fully. One of the first to be able to do that, we were able to be the first national museum on Google Cultural Institute, for example. So it's a question of trying to get our content, which we sit on tremendous amounts of content, whether it's archives or artifacts, out in the public in a way that's accessible. And the easiest and most efficient way of doing that is obviously online. So we've also been able to continue renewing the museum's three websites on the next slide, as well as the corporation's foundations website. So we've also hosted a series on the next slide of Google Hangouts from meeting some of the new lambs at the farm, for example, which was one of the more popular ones, to aviation and space hangouts as well. We were also able to launch a series of videos on YouTube that deals with different scientific subjects that vary from how to create a telescope to once again spend a little time with some animals on the farm. On the next slide, we also had our first initiative to do crowdfunding. So we were able to raise funds to create a project of oral history with some of our World War II aviation veterans, for example. So we dabbed into the crowdfunding space as well, something that we had not done before. So it was a year of firsts, for sure. From an educational partnership perspective with universities, which we'll be speaking to a little bit later on some of the work that we'll be launching together as McGill and the museum, is built on, this isn't something that's come out of the blue, we've been able to actually develop a lot of partnership with community colleges and universities. So some of our veterinary technology students, for example, coming in from Algonquin College, the aircraft maintenance students are also operating on some of our historical artifacts and some of our engines. University students are involved in the series of new exhibitions, local university students in Ottawa, and we've got curators that are teaching and lecturing at local universities and colleges. So we are today going to be building on that history and on that track record of success of community and post-secondary engagement in a big way. I won't steal all of Jason's thunder necessarily, but I'll steal a little bit of it. So on that note, however, so that was the past year, we'll talk about the next year in a little bit, but before we do that, I'd like to invite Fern Prue, who's our Chief Operating Officer, to come up and spend a few minutes talking about our fiscal situation. But not before I thank the Governor of Canada for its support in the 13-14 fiscal year, so thank you, 14-15 fiscal year, apologies, and thank you very much for the successful year that we've had and your support in that. All right, thanks, Alex. Next slide, we've got the financials. There we go. It's going to be a little synopsis on what the financial situation was, and again, we're looking at the fiscal year, 14-15, which ended almost a year ago. By the time we get the financial statements done approved, they have to be tabled in Parliament before we can make in public, so that's why it takes a little bit of a delay before we can actually get and start sharing the news that we do have. As you've heard, it's been a very active year for us, reshaping the operational model, financial model around the museum that became closed without walls. Creating a whole new model for us to do some financial planning. So, I'm looking at the bright side of some of the occurrences that happened. The closure of the museum happened in November, which is right after the tourist season, cyclical business, so all the revenue, the peak revenue season came through. We got the revenues coming through before all the expenses kind of normally happened with less revenues to go against. So the attendance for that year was a very solid year. We've shown two-year growth at the Aviation Museum and Air Culture and Food Museum. The programs are really taking the plen de l'ampleur. C'est excellent de voir le développement et l'évolution des musées, mais avec la fermeture du musée de science, technologie, on a pu atteindre 2.2 millions d'admission. Other revenues include farm operations. As we mentioned, we do operate. We have animals at the farm. We actually have a milk quota and we sell our milk to the milk marketing board and actually we generate revenues from our farm operations. So that's part of the other revenues that are, you can see up there. The other part of the other revenues are parking and museum memberships. So that's the other revenues. The commercial operations, like most museums, we have a retail facility rentals, not as eloquent as this building here to rent the facilities, but we do actually host groups for weddings and other events within and we generate some revenues from that. For a total of 4.898 million. We also have supporting revenues through partnerships. Sponsorship, our sponsorship group is really doing well. They're now fully anchored and more we're going with the vision of the museum and our partnership growth. Our sponsorships are accelerating rather nicely with a record high of 1.372 million coming through for us. For an institution of our size, it's something we can be proud of in terms of the number of museums across Canada that we are now in the top tiers of generating museum contributions and sponsorship revenues. We also have a foundation that works with us for scientific contributions and donations which contributed a little over $200,000 last year towards the museum's activity for a total revenue of 7.028 million. On the expense side, as you can see, the expenses can be shifted in different ways. What we have here is based on activities, museum activities, collecting, sharing knowledge. Heritage preservation includes the historical, curatorial, collections management part of the work. That activity, we invested 4.1 million into it last year. The sharing knowledge includes the exhibitions, the websites, the communicating education programs. That investment was $13.6 million. Our support activities include the administration, finance, government, governance, the IT infrastructure for an investment of $6.5 million. The accommodations is basically, as you may have heard, we receive some funding for our leases. We're leasing buildings or property tax utilities. Everything we need to run the facilities of the museum on all our sites, including 19 different buildings across the city, costs $13.4 million. For total cost, $37.8 million. So with operating loss of $30 million before government contributions, with government contributions of $31.6 million, we ended up with a small surplus of $883,000. That surplus goes into an equity account. As a Crown Corporation, we do get to keep our revenues. We're not a core government department. So that allows us to put some money aside to invest in future programs which is coming in very handy in the re-establishing of the Science and Technology Museum. So that in a nutshell is our financial picture. We had a very good year in 14-15. Again, because the cycle of revenues coming through, a completely different model of how we're operating science, with science mobile so there's a different way to be able to put our message on for our visitors with the funding of the government. So that's all for the science revolution. Great. So now I get the pleasure of talking to you about what's coming in 15-16, even though 15-16 is almost over. So let's talk about what we've been doing in the past year. So obviously we talked about relaunching the Science and Technology Museum. That's been again on time on budget. We've got fabrication and design firms all over North America, really from U.S. to Canada. One of them is here in Montreal. Partners are in place. The construction is going well. We have a roof now. Officially started on a roof. So we have roof and beams and posts, I guess for now and foundation. So it's coming along. It's going to be a busy year. We've also been able to launch our second game, which is called Ace Academy Black Flight. So after we launched the first one and realized that maybe we could do something with history and digital, we took a page out of our friends at HBO, a band of brothers, or the Pacific for any of you that watched those shows and actually reenacted the lives of five Canadian pilots that flew in a squadron called Black Flight during World War I. So we actually took their war diaries and turned it into a video game that is now over 175 countries and 65,000 for over two months since it's been launched. So people are actually consuming and using Canadian culture, Canadian knowledge, Canadian history online in a way that, frankly, they may not even be realizing that they are. We've also been able to take our science and some of our artifacts in 3D format, so 3D printing and 3D scanning in a big way across most comic-cons across Canada. Why? Because, you know, science fiction and science are actually related. You can, if you're a Star Trek fan, you know, a lot of the technology in Star Trek has found its way into our daily lives already. A few of them haven't, like teleporters and others, but I've been told that that's being worked on actively, so hoping that that happens in my lifetime. We've also been able to host food for thought lectures with a series of professors and scientists from the University of Ottawa as well. So it's been a very active year. It's been a year where we've put a lot of pieces on the puzzle board to be more than a museum, science center, but actually really morph into a knowledge institution and be able to talk future science and pass history in trying to merge the two together, because they cannot be separated and should not be separated when you're talking to youths across the country. So it's been an extremely exciting year. We started doing live streaming for most of our activities, so when we have meetings with our team, we have live streams across the country, across the world. So that was something new for us and for us too. We created a new event called Bacon Palooza which is kind of stepping outside of our comfort zone. If you're the Agriculture and Food Museum, you're used to it being a very young audience. This was for bacon, bands and beer. It was a huge success and it's something that we'll be looking to repeat as well to advertise and broadcast to the world. There are museums and there are things you could do even as young adults or as anybody liking bacon frankly in this case. Those are some of the highlights. On the next slide, some of the things that will be coming up in 2016, 2017 at the Agriculture and Food Museum, we will be launching an international food series so every month will be a series of different food cultures so we'll be looking at probably my favorite first hopefully which is French food. We will be looking at Maple Month, Cheese Month, Continuing Down Bacon Palooza but we'll also be looking at continuing the traveling exhibition of a taste of science that's launched across the country that speaks to some of the food preservation and some of the food science behind some of the food you eat. At the Aviation and Space Museum, Gary alluded to it and we will be the world premiere and the global launch of a new Star Trek exhibition in partnership with CBS called Starfleet Academy. So you will be able to go through Starfleet Academy and emerge a doctor, an engineer, a weapon specialist and then do the Kobayashi Maru for those of you that follow Star Trek and you will fail the test unless you are Captain Kirk which also happens to be coming for our event in our global launch. So we're looking forward to that and celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek. For Canada Science and Tech Museum we will be launching a new traveling a national traveling program called Game Changers. It will be talking about science and mathematics in the field of art that helps us create video games. Most of our children play video games without realizing that they are involved in creating a game. So this launches tonight actually in Ottawa with speakers from Algonquin and Carleton University and Algonquin College on the concepts of addiction to video games and we're going to be talking about everything from science and math and the psychology behind video games and with a 3500 square foot traveling exhibition that will cross across the country which is already booked for a year and a half so it's a huge success for us. 2016-17 we'll continue with the relaunch of the Science and Tech Museum six major galleries, Children's Museum located inside the museum which is all based on the concept of failing and failing being acceptable and experimenting. The Science and Tech Museum will tell the story of how Science and Tech basically created Canada as a nation from railroad to telegraph to medical sensations and we'll be looking as well to launch our new future video game called Spaceborne which is about the human colonization of our solar system so really diving into the mining concepts for example of mining an asteroid and mining the planet Mars what's required in colonizing Mars working with institutions such as the perimeter institute and others in this video game on actually bringing science to gaming and youth. We'll be launching in mid-May our climate change exhibition but more on the sustainable technologies to help fight climate change in partnership with National Geographic in Ottawa at Lansdowne Park we'll be traveling across the country and right now we have a lot of interest from even other countries which is great so this is in partnership with Sustainable Development Technologies Canada we're actively signing and pursuing agreements for 12 documentaries around the world as well being co-produced on a variety of scientific topic from the history of medicine to the future food source for the world talking to institutions such as the Discovery Channel the Smithsonian Channel so we're really again this shift from museum science center to a knowledge institution and using multiple mediums to be able to communicate the message and we'll also be continuing to grow our national footprint of traveling exhibition so we've got quite a few things on the road on our plates right now small team of 225 employees that are hitting homeruns every time we turn the corner which is absolutely fantastic and as of yesterday well we now know that we will be able to get off the ground a state-of-the-art collection facility that will house our collection the National Galleries collection as well as the Canada Conservation Institute under one roof that will be opening in 2018 Fern 2019 apologies live streaming I've been corrected on record 2019 Fern just had a heart attack or he's okay okay so without further ado let's talk about a big part of why we're here today at Miguel thank you very much for hosting us historically the museum had stopped a lot of its research and now we're getting back into it and research for us is in just our folks getting the privilege of working with our collection but it's actually opening up our collection to the rest of the country and Miguel was one of our first stops so I'm here today to talk a little bit about and again we'll turn it over to Jason shortly the Miguel Fellowship in the history of science medicine and technology collaborations and partnerships that will be striking between your institution and the museum so we collect and preserve Canada's scientific and cultural heritage and we disseminate it and Miguel provides a broad range of outstanding learning and research program to prepare students as citizens and leaders who will make a difference so why not combine the two together so today I'm here to announce that we will be collaborating with Miguel to establish the Miguel Fellowship in the history of science medicine and technology for the next few years to come and hopefully build this partnership together so we're really excited about this because the Fellows that we'll be announcing today will contribute to the body of research of our museums yes that's certainly the selfish side of that equation but it'll also help to the Fellows research that's going to be published by Miguel and the museum and our museum is going to receive Miguel objects and archives that are worthy of preservation in the national collection as well so we're going to be strengthening our ties quite extensively over the next few years together I know some of our curators that are here today are excited because Miguel is ranked among some of Canada's top four research universities so something to be extremely proud of we may take a bit of heat over this back when we get back home in Ottawa but that's great that's fine it's a national collection and Montreal is a big part of our history and so is Miguel so I'm pleased to announce that the first two Fellows are Cynthia Tang who's a PhD student in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine and her field of study is the history of medicine and Hassan Moud is a PhD student in the Institute of Islamic Studies and his field of study is the history of science in Islamic society and the history of astronomy so we look forward to working with Cynthia and Hassan who will be supervised both by Brian DeWalt who's our director of the curatorial division and by David Panoloni who is our curator in physical science and medicine so at this point I'd like to turn the floor over to Jason if you'd like to come and join me and I'll turn the mic over to you so thank you very much again for hosting us today and we look forward to working a lot more closely with Miguel in the years to come thanks very much I'd like to start with a sincere thank you framed in an apology so let me explain I've been in the field of higher education teaching in university or college level for 13 years and for 12 and a half of those years I really did not run anything I was not responsible for running any institutional anything institutionally really to a great extent and those 12 and a half years were glorious they were really wonderful I could entirely focus on my own academic career and teaching and that was really great that very sheltered institutional and moral space allowed me to be perhaps allowed me to be lazy with or sort of just complacent with how institutional structures take form it allowed me even in certain times that I feel very embarrassed about to complain about the slow pace of institutional changes about the slow pace how difficult it was to complete bureaucratic tasks to form partnerships to finish money transfers to devise contracts to figure out how partnerships would actually work over the last six months I've had the opportunity to actually run something or to be in charge of something which is to be the graduate program director here at Miguel in the department of history and classical studies which I'm very proud and it's been a very it's very difficult it's very rewarding and it's given me an entirely new perspective on how difficult it is to make institutional initiatives happen how difficult it is to bring institutions even when they're very complimentary together so I apologize in general to the world for having had that experience of 12 and a half years and for not realizing how difficult it is to run things and with that in mind I would like to offer a sincere thank you not a perfunctory or a kind of official thank you both to personnel at the museums and at Miguel so in no particular order thanks to Alex Benet, Christina Lucas Monique Horace, Sandra Corvay and David Sudden at the museums and at Miguel, Matali Das, Franca Sianzi Greek Vankerbergen Counting Giuseppe, David Wright Nicholas Dew, Layla Parsons Kate Devereux and others who have supported this effort over the last several months a sincere thank you as well to the doctoral students some of them with us today who have been helping us over the last several months so I'm just going to say one two things the first is a word about why we at Miguel and in history department and as allied institutions are going to be good at this and can help and then secondly and more broadly why it is that history and science should be better friends so first about Miguel in the department of history and classical studies at Miguel we haven't been teaching history in the history of Canada at Miguel one of the oldest and largest institutions of department's history in Canada and we have particular strengths history of science and history of medicine at any given time depending on how you count we have 10 or so faculty members and postdocs working on and studying history of Canada and this is not even to mention Miguel's institute for the study of Canada which is an interdisciplinary institution group at which many of our faculty members regularly participate this is in addition to our many PhD students who work in history of Canada and an even greater number of master's students work in history of Canada put this together and this is a very large department with extreme strengths traditional strengths and growing strengths in history of Canada writ large and especially in the history of science both because of our department in an allied institutions and programs in the history of medicine whether through the social studies of medicine or the institute for health and social policy our current chair David Wright is in fact joined and appointed in the department of history and classical studies in the faculty of arts and the institute for health and social policy in the faculty of medicine so I guess what I'm saying is we're good at this we have deep institutional knowledge and the history of teaching history of science and medicine and we have a lot to offer the museums I think and museums will be very helpful to us our fellows now and hopefully in the future will use the materials at the museums and they will use them well practically they will use them creatively and they will use those materials to broaden the exposure both of the institution of museums and of McGill last let me just say a more general word about what history has to offer science and vice versa why history and science ought to be better friends or actually are already better friends they think that they are before I say this I want to say that it is important for me to note or to argue that knowledge of any kind does not need to defend itself really at all the pursuit of knowledge is inherently valuable the pursuit of facts the pursuit of truth the pursuit of data and everything in between needs no justification and it should transcend any form of market derivation or market share any institution or any society or any nation that purports to be or that wants to be that aspires to be you can choose your adjective enlightened, democratic, progressive or just needs to assert that that being said some disciplines and some pursuits are especially relevant to and helpful for each other and I actually think that history and science have more natural partnerships than they perhaps think that they do and the first hand history and science actually share an intellectual method both of these disciplines are accretive that is they build on prior research in a more self conscious way than many other disciplines do to use an archeological metaphor they build upon certain sites and they rest upon the shoulders of immediate researchers previous to them in history we call this historiography but whoever you want to describe it it's the same process in science and in history more broadly history and science are both about linking up particulars and making distinctions they're about finding the most relevant bits of information and then subjecting them to rigorous criticism scrutiny, hypotheses, arguments experimentation at a more concrete level the study of the world through time and the study of the world historically has always or should always inform scientific discovery while hopefully also giving it a deeper form of humanistic purpose let me just take one example from one that I know well in my own field of early American history for millennia for generations and many generations one of the greatest terrors of people of the world of parents of children was smallpox and in the western world the modern study of how to treat smallpox the modern study of how to prevent smallpox dates from the early 18th century in a series of complex transfers of knowledge from the Ottoman Empire itself probably from China to Europe most especially to England to London the kind of anecdotal story is that an English gentleman in 1720 travels to the Ottoman Empire admired the clear skin of women she saw there and learned about the process known as variolation which is a kind of precursor to vaccination it's actually a much broader story about how scientific knowledge medical knowledge was imbued with and combined with historical knowledge of the east as it was known and how over various periods of time through a number of different institutions and intellectuals the knowledge of how to combat smallpox and the historical possibility of eradicating smallpox came to hold an important place in western history in English history and in American history to take one example it appears that the ability to variolate that is to prevent smallpox or to reduce the symptoms of smallpox was actually crucial to George Washington's Revolutionary Army in 1776 1777 George Washington in fact ordered the entire continental army of the nascent United States to be variolated and to be therefore defended against smallpox which probably allowed the continental army to survive and thus the revolutionary movement to survive south of the border this gets huge cheers here I guess we'll just have to say that it was an important moment in history and that it was a good thing in general that smallpox this great scourge of humanity was eventually eradicated it was eradicated as I'm saying here both because of medical research and medical knowledge and the transfer of that knowledge via the medium of historical study of other places and times study of people unlike ourselves I don't want to exaggerate the extent of our partnership here but we will do our all smart part I think to make history and science the partners that they should be and I look forward to our partnership with museums over the next several years thank you Hello Gary, Alex, Fernando Professor Opel, a big big big thank you for your presentation a big thank you to McGill University who has opened the floor for questions I see a lot of young crowd here I'm sure you have some questions they're all looking at each other for people around the internet so they're saying like who's going to dare ask one question we like to pepper our CEO all right well there's a question over here perfect I got one person excellent and what is your name my name is Nicholas Duke I was just wondering if you could say more about the fellowship program just maybe a nice time to tell us more about the program how many fellowships there are per year, how many years do you think it will run I did already go ahead yes I know for the moment I had kind of planned this out as two possible models of fellowship a short term fellowship and a long term fellowship the idea being that the fellows would be in house or would spend most of their time during their fellowship in Ottawa doing the research at the library to do at least one public presentation during their fellowship and participate in the public life of the museum when they're there hopefully this will also result in a longer term fellowship originally planned that the short term fellowships would be three month periods a long term fellowship so we'll start with our two fellows and see what that takes us but it's basically designed as that way as either a three month or a nine month stint we could sort of think about how that might change later on but that's how it starts I don't know if you want to add for us this is the beginning it's not just a one time thing we're going to be looking to grow it we are going to be looking to bring on scientists as well so I think your commentary on the combining forces of history and science are very very appropriate so we will be looking to bring in biochemists and astronomers and astrophysicists so how these things start combining together sort of the future science combined with the history is what we are, is what we do nobody else does that in the country so as a forum for that dialogue so this will be the beginning we'll throw in the scientists as we go through and then we'll continue to grow the fellowships program over the next few years and see where this takes us one of your exhibits which as a parent I was really interested in and that is the or I guess it's maybe a series of workshops the idea of failure in experiments is that the idea? yeah so we're going to have a youth a children's museum in the new institution and well a lot of scientific discoveries I'm speaking to a bunch of historians you know sometimes it happened by mistake it only happened through a series of failures I can speak as a parent in part of that answer as well my daughter is about to be 16 and my son 12 and I just don't think we promote failure enough we took a Steve Jobs for example to talk about how many times he's failed in launching or any entrepreneur I'll tell you so science and technology for us is a series of failures that leads to that one sort of breakthrough and not encouraging failure and trying to hide from it would be bad the children's museum is to provide them a space to fail try things here's a challenge try to fix it probably not going to happen may happen but then have that right in the heart of the museum where all these exhibitions are about the successes that have come from failure we hope is an environment where youth will be able to come and physically and digitally and intellectually engage in what it means for them to be actually be able to be permitted to fail because if we think at school for example you have to have the best grade absolutely possible and it's a society driven by lack of failure but at the same time failure is usually what gives us the success so it's this weird thing going on I really commend that I think that is an amazing idea it wasn't mine I can't take credit for it and I'll be you know hoping to bring my kid to it maybe absolutely you'll get an invite thank you any more questions or volunteers I there we have another one this is fantastic this is a nice crowd as a parent I was actually quite curious about the video games how does that work depends on what side of the equation you said I'm not playing them I'm watching other people play them are you using them for outreach to people who would not normally be in a museum and how is that functioning it sounds like a really interesting idea for a museum to be working on video games for me personally if you're in Ottawa there's a lot of talk about our location not being downtown Ottawa and for me a museum in today's world is about being global because no matter what you do now it's globally interconnected and while the physical experiment and the physical experience is important and we're not denying that being able to reach a child in a world if you look at our second video game iteration Black Flight a lot of our downloads are coming from China a lot in Canada as well but a lot in China so Canada has a role to play we have a role to play to get our culture out there in that world and if we don't do that then the risk is that our children my children are growing up on a google and facebook culture that may or may not contain canadian content getting content out in that world and we're not going to pass it we've just we have for example two weeks ago we are the first public institution in Canada to remove our firewalls systematically so as we create draft documents draft ideas it will be out there in the world for commentary for collaboration so we are a public knowledge institution taxpayers dollars at work the knowledge that we generate that we sit on that we create getting it all out there as soon as possible letting researchers journalists, exhibition designers deal with our content as it is created because if we have 10 people contributing to this process we're adding value gamification is the same context so if my youth is going to play a video game that's why I love Minecraft it's actually helping them it's teaching them so we want to educate them but we want the history lesson to come out so Black Flight is an example of how we can take five canadian pilots that would otherwise do it independently because they're not an easy company and they're not on HBO probably not as known because it's Canada and we're south of the border of a massive media giant this is a way for us to sort of equal the playing field a little bit so 175 countries in two plus months getting the story of five canadian pilots that is historically accurate at 100% the rivets are 100% accurate on the 3D model for us it's just a way of getting canadian content out in that spectrum and getting known as a great nation that has contributed to world history in World War I we were very significant players in that space and Black Flight that unit was a significant player as well so now we got the story out and since we know a lot of youth play video games then we might as well talk to them in their world in their language as well and that's one example so that's sort of the theory or the thinking behind it we're going to launch probably another three or four more in the next few years the aviation of ace academy should be a partnership with a few European countries that's the target anyways see what happens but that's certainly the intent and the theory behind it is merging historical accuracy or assistant curator Aaron Gregory at the aviation space museum spent a lot of time researching this game to make sure it's 100% accurate so you're actually fighting the real battles that were fought in World War I so for us it's a fantastic merger of past, present, future really exciting wasn't my idea either I'm on a roll actually this was Fern's idea Fern's baby in part so a few years ago so well done Fern and finally somebody from the younger crowd that side of the crowd is sort of finally I'm interested in the traveling exhibits if you could talk a little more about those are they going to be exhibits from the museum are you helping to showcase exhibits from around Canada and help those travel yeah mostly they're self produced in our case but if you look at Star Trek for example since we're the global launch we've been helping to produce that we've been helping to find locations it'll be going to Calgary for example after us so there's some collaboration that happens across Canada on traveling exhibitions some of the ones we're launching are a mixture of both but again like we have the privilege in science and speaking I mean it's a running joke but cows to Canada and everything in between at the museum so it's pretty wide subject area so we have about I would say in the next few years we'll have a close to a dozen of these shows on the road crisscrossing across the country at any point in time but again our challenge is balancing our shows that we want to produce in partnership with others but also looking at digital looking at documentaries now that you know Canada is a very economic place to produce science and technology documentaries as it turns out and we have not leveraged that as an institution we're about to start that so for us it's a mixture of both so it's a mixture of our traveling exhibitions a mixture of digital because you can't it's just not one experience anymore and if we pride ourselves in engaging youth we have to do that because that's typically where they live first much to my chagrin sometimes and for us that's sort of the strategy so a lot of our taste of science for example is crisscrossing across the Saskatchewan, Manitoba right now I believe or it's in London, Ontario and it's scheduled to go out west Gamechanger is a launch in Sudbury with the Science North Science Centre for example so it really becomes a blended mixture typically Canadian in that sense I guess actually very collaborative, collegial alright well we've actually did very well thank you very much to everyone thank you for being here today thank you to Miguel for hosting us this actually adorns our public annual meeting thank you very much everybody as you know there's actually some drinks cash bar at the back as well some food and for those actually we're talking about the sort of exhibits that we do in terms of you have a little pamphlet here information you also have some nice little USB drive if you'd like with the Technoscience.ca where you can actually find us on the internet and of course we encourage you to follow us on social media we do tons of very very cool stuff thank you


Felly, gydaeth y slopol yn yng Ngheithnos, hefyd yma o bobl biarchiologa a'r hynod rhaglen gan gwybod ei hunanol yma i wych. Fy fydd ymgynghoriwn i'ch uchuno'r ariotwg melifau a'r ddechrau i'r mae'rромi yn Gweithlidolwyr Llywodraeth o Chysylltu Llywodraeth yn y Gwyrdd Fawr, fe wneud am Ielon Lcynodol, i Gweithlidolwyr Llywodraeth. I will briefly introduce the nature of the Medieval Hospital in England and the Hospital of St James leading into an exploration of the demographic profile of the cemetery and as discussion about the bioarchaeological techniques that I intend to apply. So, hospitals of Medieval England were religious institutions that provided arms and hospitality. They cared for the individual through their sole, clean living, dire and shelter, and they're commonly categorised into poor men categories, which are those that cared for the lefers, those that cared for the sick poor, those who run as arms houses and those that acted as hospitals or hospices for the poor wayfarer or pilgrim. The hospital community consisted of religious and labour since cohabiting in one establishment, and this most commonly consisted of 12 inmates, a single hospital master, 10 laying clerical brothers and six or so servitors. The combination of these people is vital in developing our understanding of the hospital's demographics and its social functions. And then, just quickly, of the approximated 1,146 hospitals operating in Medieval England and Wales, less than 5% have been subject to archaeological investigation so far, so it's quite a good opportunity. So, the hospital of St James was excavated from 2011 in 2016. It provides the opportunity to explore a rural Medieval hospital set on the boundary of a monastic precinct and the only known historical documentation to the hospital was written in the Thornton Chronicle in 1322, which states that repairs were made to the chapel of St James at the hospital without the walls. And although the whole chronicle hasn't been translated yet, so there may be more in there, that's all we have at the moment. So, in order to gain a broader insight into the hospital, three skeletons who had radiocarbon data and carried out on them, the results turned up calibrated dates from 1295 to 1440, although you can see that each individual produced more accurate dates. This combines with the reference made in the Thornton Chronicle, which shows the hospital was in use in 1322, and it must have been for some time considering they were making repairs to it, you would think. And then also with the Graves Lab, which was discovered within the hospital chapel, on which a year of death was dated to be 1317. So, in this case, the archaeological and historical record worked together to provide a wartime frame of the cemetery, as well as specific events that happened within its lifetime. The Grave in question offered an exceptional opportunity to display the integration of the historical and bioarchaeological evidence. It was possible to identify the individual as the Graves Lab states their name, which was Richard Dwisbetham. His death was on the 13th of April, 1317, and the evidence as to his occupation is on there. As you can see in the main portion of the Graves Lab, it depicts a man in clerical robes with taunsel tear and holding a chalice, which are all representative of a priest or canon at the time. On inspection, the skeleton confirmed what we know so far that it was in fact a male. He was approximately 36 to 45 years at his time of death, and this is emphasised that the cooperation of material culture and skeletal remains can produce extensive biographical information more than either could have produced by itself. An analysis of the whole cemetery population is currently being conducted to gain a better understanding of the broad demographics of the site. So far 110 of the 195 skeletons has revealed an unconventional demographic, both the distribution of biological sex and age at death presented extremes. So firstly, females account for just 1.8% of the cemetery population. The high male presence is indicative of a monastic community for which a single sex population is apparent across many monastic sites throughout Britain. However, you would expect a higher female presence here considering the exceptionally high number of non-adults, some of which were as young as three months at the time of death. So the age distribution for the population demonstrates that a large 48% were age 17 years and younger at death. With those age 6 to 11 years, accounting for the highest proportion at just over 26% of the population, this proportion of immature individuals is unprecedented at hospital cemeteries across England. The closest comparison you can see here is St Mary's special in London, where 33% of the population were 15 years under their age. So this significant difference suggests that something special or slightly weird is going on at our hospital. The paleo pathological evidence starts to shed light on this population. Firstly, among the adult population, four individuals presented the size of dish, a condition of the spine which is linked to calorie consumption and therefore indicative of a high status lifestyle. Whilst ten individuals presented with creeper orbitalia, a condition associated with dietary deficiencies, the presence of these two conditions together suggests that the population is consuming different diets and that they have had a different status of diet at the time. Individuals also presented with conditions that are called for medical intervention or long-term care. We have an individual here, which has an amputation to just distal of the knee joint and then the far one is of a break to the proxmal femur, both of which show really good signs of healing and that these individuals live through them and live for some time. Whilst when we look at the immature population, 18 presented with underdeveloped growth of their long bones when compared with age attained by their dental development, indicating the possible effects of suppressed immunological systems or malnutrition. One individual, which you can see on the end here, presented with synastotic scapicephaly, which is the fusion of the sagittal suture from the front to the back of the skull, which restricts the skull's growth and can lead to serious complications including deformities, increased cranial pressure, seizures and developmental delays. So, from this individual alone, it's evident that the hospital was housing some seriously ill individuals. Finally, in the middle here, we have an individual that presented with osteomyelitis of the forearm. This infection is usually as a result of a break, but there was no break present on this individual. The only other form is when the infection gets into your bloodstream. Again, it can happen to a perfectly healthy individual, but it has seriously debilitating and possibly life-threatening results. Being presented with such a myriad of conditions, a number of methodologies are required to assess the full extent of the population's conditions and the outcomes they reflect. So, it's evident from the pathological data that an examination of diet would be useful to look at nutritional consumption and resource distribution among the hospital. Considering the dating evidence, this line of inquiry will look for evidence of the great famine via nutritional status, and this will reflect the impact of the 13th and 14th centuries downturn on this rural, monastic and charitable institution. It will be used to investigate indications of social grouping among the populations, so the late population versus the religious or monastic population. The control for this will be to look for deprivation among those with creeper orbitalia and excess calorie consumption by those with Dish. This is possible as carbon isotopes indicate ratios of plant, marine and terrestrial protein. Finally, carbon isotopes, isotope ratios derived from the teeth will be utilised to explore whether ill health in immatures is related to undernourishment, considering the high proportion of them with the skeletal stunted growth. This methodology will add to our understanding of the larger social, economic and political issues at the time among this niche population. Hospitals for the poor, wafer and pilgrims are a category in their own right. The need for such establishments rose in line with the establishment of pilgrim routes throughout the country, and were called for as many people going on pilgrim ridges were motivated to do so as a result of ill health. The analysis of oxygen and stratium, stratium and lead isotopes, will be utilised to explore the possibility of people who have migrated to the hospital within Britain or from further afield. Lead isotopes can be used to trace the level of pollutants an individual has been exposed to and therefore individuals from rural origins will have lower levels to arrive from local rocks and soils, whereas those from urban locations which have travelled to the hospital which have much higher traces. This all helped to paint a picture of the hospital's inmates by establishing where they came for and why they were travelling to this particular place. Finally, within the hospital 26 select burials which are the dark green phase of burial you can see here, were entered in a discrete phase of burial which composed of one triple, four doubles and five single burials. These are comprised of males and immatures with one possible female. This raises queries as to the reasoning behind such burial practices. The theory which has provoked much discussion is the possibility of familial relations, however in an archaeological context you usually find that it's mother and child or two immature individuals that are interred in these two double burials. The application of DNA analysis would generate an understanding of the genetic affiliation of the individuals achieved through the application of hierarchical DNA with a primary aim of addressing paternal lineage and this line of investigation will either result in a successful identification of familial relations or it will establish that the choice of burial practice was the result of something else maybe more practical means but we just don't know yet. Also from the DNA analysis it would be really interesting if we can sex the non-adults and therefore see if they're following the same trend in sex bias as to who's been accepted to the hospital. Just to conclude it's evident that the combination of bioarchaeological research methods with historical research produces a more comprehensive understanding of the medieval hospital. This research will go on to incorporate accounts of monastic caregiving and systems of relief to further elucidate the presence of the individuals with severe health conditions at the hospital and to assess the location of the hospital on the precinct boundary. The presence of children adds an interest in an unexpected addition to the hospital which we didn't expect by establishing the function of the hospital such as who it cared for it will be possible to discuss the role of the hospital in more depth and in relation to the wider community therefore giving a broader understanding of the role of the rural hospital because a lot of hospitals that have been looked at so far are in urban locations so it's quite a unique opportunity that we have.


in this presentation we will take a look at an internal control flowchart mapping out the processes and procedures related to internal controls starting off with the develop and understanding of internal controls by first a word from our sponsor well actually these are just items that we picked from the youtube shopping affiliate program but that's actually good for you because these aren't things that were just given to us from some large corporation which we don't even use in exchange for us selling them to you these are things that we actually researched purchase and use ourselves acer 27 inch monitor i've been using an acer monitor as my primary monitor for a few years now this is the first acer monitor that i have used after having used a series of different brands of monitors in the past the acer monitor has been performing well and i'm trusting the acer brand more and more as i use the monitor i have a 27 inch monitor which i think is ideal for what i do which is of course the screen recording and the editing if you would like a commercial free experience consider subscribing to our website at accounting instruction dot com or accounting instruction dot think of it dot com where we have many different courses you can purchase one at a time or have a subscription model given you access to all the courses courses which are well organized have other resources like excel files and pdf files to download and no commercials evaluating the design of controls determining if the controls have been implemented so that's the first thing we're going to do we're going to say hey what are the internal controls because you give us the design of the internal controls and then we want to determine whether or not the internal controls have been implemented next we're going to document the understanding of the internal control so once we have that understanding we of course as auditors gathering evidence will then document that understanding and then we come to the question point that's what this red box then means that we have a question a yes or no type of question does the auditor intend to rely on the control so at this point we have to say do we rely on the controls or not now if we're thinking about a publicly traded companies we will probably be saying yes we're going to rely on the internal controls if we cannot rely on the controls we're in big trouble because we typically can't do enough substantive testing in the time frame given to really support the full audit of a publicly traded company however if we have something less than a publicly traded company it may may well be the case that we don't intend to fully trust or rely on the internal controls and therefore we're going to do more substantive testing so remember at this point publicly traded company are we going to are we going to rely on the internal controls we hoped we can at this point or else we're going to have to take into consideration what we're going to do going forward whether or not we can basically finish the audit within the scope of it if we're talking about smaller company we may say no and in that case we're going to do more substantive testing so you can imagine if we have a smaller company we're going to say okay this internal controls aren't something that we can completely rely on what are we going to do then we're going to do a substantive strategy meaning we're going to set control risk at the max we're going to say control risk is high meaning there's a high risk that the internal control set up by the organization by the business will not detect a material misstatement and therefore we need to do more testing on the substantive testing side so what are we going to do we're going to increase the amount of the substantive testing instead of wasting our time or going further thinking about testing the internal controls which we've determined not to be sufficient and therefore not something that we rely on within our audit process therefore instead of testing internal controls we're going to go straight to what we would think of as the more kind of substantive test that the tests of going right to the accounts and essence and start to test assertions related to account balances and transactions if we can rely on the controls which again we probably will have to hopefully to some degree for large organizations publicly traded companies then we're going to look at a reliance strategy and we're going to plan and perform tests of controls so if we're going to rely on the internal controls what we're going to do then is then do further planning and testing related to the internal controls because it should be easier to test the controls the checks and balances in the system as opposed to just trying to check the end result all the transactions that are resulting from the checks and balances so we're going to go in and basically check the checks and balances of the system depend on it hopefully and therefore or be able to depend on it hopefully if we trust them and then we can do less of the actual substantive testing set control risk based on the test of control so once we test the controls then we'll set the control risk at that point in time then we're going to ask ourselves another question at that point in time does the achieved level of control risk support the plan level of control risk so have whatever control risk we then set after looking at it does that meet what we've what we've decided on in terms of our planned control risk and then if if if the answer is no then we're going to revise the plan level of substantive testing so in other words if we have a reliance strategy we're going to set the level of the basically the control risk and then we're going to do the testing and if we have to make an adjustment then we make an adjustment and we adjust then and revise the level of substantive procedures so in other words if we cannot the control risk is different than what we assess the control risk to be in the planning stage we're going to account for that by revising the level of substantive testing testing on the account level and the assertion level the transaction level as opposed to on the checks and balances or internal control level will document the level of control risk that we have determined to be and then we'll perform the substantive procedures based on the level of assessed control risk so obviously once we set the control risk then we can move on to the next stage and say okay now we can determine how much substantive testing we need to meet our objectives go down to the to the ground floor the actual kind of thing that most people probably think of with the within audit is actually dig into those accounts on the substantive level going through accounts and transactions related to them if on the other hand going back up to this red item that we asked this question does the achieve level of control risk support the plan level of control risk if the answer is yes it does then we're going to rely on the on those controls and we'll go forward and go straight down to the perform substantive procedures based on level of assessed control risk that we have determined


So the next marine gets up there that guy goes back to the ready bench and has to see Second marine ever gets up there 11 November some 275 gets four out of five Goes back the guy in the ready benches. How'd it go? I got four out of five.  He was Stationed here on Paris Island. He was a primary marksmanship instructor, and then later on was on the Paris Island refland pistol team He later on went back to the fleet and ended up getting killed in action So we hold this as a memorial for him that Malachowski challenge consists of a 880-meter sprint With your rifle so full camis and rifle up to the 500-yard line on the range And then they'll drop down and shoot 10 rounds of the rapid fire at a Baker target And then the highest score whoever has the most hits most impact We hold it as part of the beginner murals portion It's usually the the last portion so after everything's all said and done we've done bullseye rifle bullseye pistol We'll hold the challenge at the end kind of like as a fun event for the shooters And then they kind of get a piece of history of the team as well Best advice I'd get is just practice But not just practice, but practice correctly. There's you know Consistency is accuracy. That's one thing that we we believe in the most. If you don't have consistency You'll never be accurate and you know there's great shooters in the world and some of the great shooters will practice until they can Get it right, but the best shooters in the world will continue to practice until they can no one get it wrong


So in this example, we're looking at having, we've already observed n observations or in samples from a Poisson distribution. We've been using a conjugate prior, which is a gamma prior for the rate mu. So here's our gamma prior. We would like the predictive density. In a previous piece of work, we have already found that the posterior distribution g of mu given our data y1 to yn is v plus n, where n is our number, r plus the sum of y, mu to the r plus the sum of y minus 1, e to the minus n plus v mu over the gamma function of r plus the sum of yi. So we have part of our distribution to calculate f of yn plus 1. So the next observation, given our previous observations, we integrate over the relevant range, which here is from 0 to infinity of f of yn plus 1 given mu times g of mu given our previous data and d mu. So by doing this, we separate into two components. This bit here is a Poisson distribution. So we break it into the two relevant bits. So it's the integral from 0 to infinity of, and we think about it in terms of our Poisson data. So we have e to the minus mu mu to the y of the n plus 1 of the distribution. And we have y n plus 1 factorial. So that's this part of our function. And then we include this part of our function times v plus n to the r plus the sum from i equals 1 to n of yi mu to the r plus the sum from i equals 1 to n of yi minus 1, e to the minus n plus v mu over the gamma function of r plus the sum from i equals 1 to n yi. d mu. We take everything that doesn't depend on mu outside of our integral because it's just a constant. So we say it's this part here doesn't depend on mu.  And then this bit here also doesn't depend on mu. So the gamma function of r plus the sum of yi, i equals 1 up to n. Then we have the integral from 0 up to infinity of everything that depends on n or mu and we group them together. So let's group them together first in terms of mu to the power of and we have here r plus the sum from i equals 1 to n yi plus yn plus 1 minus 1. So that takes care of this term and this term. Now we have this term and this term. So we have e to the minus n plus v plus 1 mu d mu. And we note that this is the exact same functional form as a gamma function up here or a gamma function up here. We go back up here and we say we note that the integral from 0 to infinity of v to the or mu to the or minus 1 e to the minus v mu over the gamma function of r is equal to 1 because it is a probability distribution. We would note then that v or the integral over mu to the or minus 1 e to the minus v times mu is equal to the gamma function of r divided by v to the power of r. We use the same principle down here to calculate this integral without doing any really horrible integration. So we say it's v plus n to the power of r plus the sum over i from y to 1 to n of yi yn plus 1 factorial the gamma function of r plus the sum of yi. And then we have mu to something minus 1 e to minus something to times mu d mu. So it's the same functional form so we use what we've learned from previously and it's the gamma function of r plus the sum i equals 1 to n yi plus yn plus 1. And we be quite careful here and we divide that by what our equivalent of v was this time which is n plus v plus 1 to the power of r plus the sum of yi plus yn plus 1. And that's your integration done out. Now by grouping this cleverly and if we constrain or to be an integer for simplicity, so if we look at the special case, first of all we'll do the grouping. So we'll say this is v plus n over n plus v plus 1 to the power of r plus the sum of yi. Then we have one more of these, we have this bit left over so 1 over n plus v plus 1 to the power of yn plus 1.  The gamma function of r plus the sum of yi. Now if we constrain to the special case of if r is a specifically non-negative integer, then what we have, we note that a factorial equals the gamma function of a plus 1 by definition for a an integer and greater than 0. So what we have here is the gamma function of r plus the sum yi plus n plus 1. This is i equal to 1 to n is equal to, divided by yn plus 1 factorial gamma function of r plus the sum of yi. Well that's equal to, we think about this one is equal to r plus the sum of plus n plus 1 minus 1 factorial over yn plus 1 factorial and r plus the sum yi minus 1 factorial. And this is equal to n plus the sum of yi plus yn plus 1 minus 1, choose yn plus 1.  And this because r is an integer is a negative binomial, so we say that yn plus 1 is negative binomial and we have r plus the sum of yi 1 over e plus n plus 1. So you can see that the posterior predictive distribution simplifies down to a negative binomial in the case where your r is specified in your prior was an integer.
