Bullying. The experts say that it is aggressive behavior that involves an imbalance of power or strength. Typically it is repeated time and time again. It may involve hitting or kicking, teasing or taunting, or it may involve indirect actions such as manipulating friendships or purposely excluding other children from activities. According to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, approximately 30% of all youth in grades 6 through 10 have been bullied or have bullied other children with some frequency within a school term. Mostly girls bully by the gossiping. It's why the girls do it. But many who teach and work at schools may not be aware of all the bullying that's occurring. That's because it's often tough for adults to detect bullying and students don't always report it if they are a victim or if they are a bystander when it's happening. Because like the bully could say you know if you tell they'll beat you up or something like that or they're just afraid or don't know how. Researchers say it's well worth the effort to start a comprehensive school wide bullying prevention program even if there are obstacles. In my experience and in the experience of I think hundreds of educators they're not insurmountable. And the benefits of course for the individual children the staff at your school who report more positive climates for all of us I think are striking. Research confirms that bullying can affect the health emotional well-being and academic performance of children. Students who are bullied are more likely than their peers to have lower self-esteem and higher rates of depression. Report that they feel ill. Have more frequent thoughts of suicide and miss school more often. If you're not feeling safe at your school then maybe during your schoolwork instead of studying or listening to the teacher your mind is focused on the bully like how could I get home faster or how could I try to miss them after school or something. Well a lot of people have better attendance because they don't like have anything to worry about when they come to school. Bystanders those students and adults who are aware of bullying can play a vital role in stopping bullying at school. You're supposed to stand out and stand up and speak out this for others. A study completed by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education about incidents of targeted school violence found that in many cases the student shooters had been bullied persecuted or injured by others prior to the attack. Bullying was not a factor in every case studied and clearly not every child who is bullied in school will pose a risk for targeted violence in school. However in a number of incidents attackers describe being bullied extensively to the level of torment. This elementary school in Pueblo Colorado is about 100 miles from Columbine the scene of the worst school shootings in America. They have learned the tragic lessons from Columbine and other school shootings and that's why they have a school-wide bullying prevention program. The school starts by having students fill out an anonymous survey assessing the nature prevalence and location of bullying incidents. Then the students take a no bullying pledge. We have a poster up there and all the school signed it. It says we will not be a bully. School counselors, teachers and other adults reinforce the message. When we come and support each other and stop bullying by stepping in and let him know that that's not the appropriate behavior. We don't want that in our classrooms. We don't want that on the playground and we don't want that even out in the community. So we're teaching them strategies to use so that they have a bag of tricks to pull from so that they can help themselves when they're in a bullying situation. Bullying prevention is welled into the fabric of school life here. Bullies are a big problem across the schools in America. That's why so many kids are afraid to stand up to bullies. We need to take a stand. Stay around friends and groups to keep safe. Ask an adult for help. Speak up when you see somebody being bullied. Say no to bullies. Experts agree that there are at least 10 elements of an effective bullying prevention program. It should focus on the school environment, meaning what is required to reduce bullying in schools is a change in the school climate, a change in the social norms. This requires a comprehensive school-wide effort involving all adults and students in the school community. Assess bullying at the school. Coordinators can do this by administering an anonymous survey to students to assess the nature, prevalence, and location of bullying. This will help to increase awareness and motivation on the part of adults at the school and will help staff to tailor a bullying prevention strategy to the specific needs of the school. It may also serve as a baseline from which to measure progress in reducing bullying. Coordinators or other school personnel who may be a principal, counselor, or teacher should garner staff support for bullying prevention, such as they are doing at the school in Colorado. And it's got to be a school-wide buy-in, you know. If everybody knows that if I go to the media center, our media specialist is going to act the same way, you know, if I'm a bully there I'm going to get the same consequence in the media center. If I go to a music classroom, our music constructor is going to do the same. When they're in physical education they're going to get the same. So the main thing is to be consistent. Interested parties should form a group to coordinate bullying prevention intervention activities. Bullying prevention shouldn't be owned by one or two people at the school, but rather should be directed by a representative group, including parents. Train staff in issues about what is known about bullying among children and youth, what they can do if they witness and or learn about bullying and how they can help prevent bullying. Establish and enforce school rules and policies regarding bullying. Increase adult supervision in hot spots for bullying. These are places such as bathrooms, hallways, and the playground. Intervene consistently and appropriately in all bullying incidents. Don't force a meeting between the two parties or encourage them to work out their difficulties. Bullying is a form of victimization, not a conflict. Focus some classroom time on bullying prevention and intervention. This can be done by setting aside a small amount of time each week or every other week to discuss bullying and peer relations and by integrating anti-bullying messages throughout the curriculum. And finally, continue these efforts over time. There should be no end date to bullying prevention activities. Bullying prevention should be woven into the fabric of the school. Bullying prevention requires that administrative support. It requires professional development, training opportunities, ongoing, embedded in the school day and throughout the school year and year after year and also you have to have support from administration in your school district in order to make that happen. My view of bullying has changed in the fact that when I grew up, a lot of the times the bullies in school were considered the cool kits. They could get away with anything. They were, you know, that's why they could bully is because they were the popular ones. They were at Fountain. That is not the case. And if you are caught bullying you're ostracized. You are not considered cool and it's really amazing as a parent seeing the children thinking the bully is the nerd, so to speak, as opposed to the cool kit anymore. It's completely turned around.

Warning! This video will contain spoilers up to chapter 1040. You've been warned! Hello my Nakamotachi, this is Joygirl. We're gonna discuss the fate of our favorite three-sword-style swordsman at Wano. Because this is a topic that I'm seeing is still being discussed in the comment section online and I have to admit that I've been wondering about this mystery myself. So the latest chapter gave us an update on Zoro who was previously seen before that in chapter 1038 and the last time we saw him it seemed like he was facing off what seemed to be a grim reaper. And after chapter 1038 there were heaps of speculations as to what was going on, who was Zoro up against, with many people thinking that it was Brooke. But obviously that theory has been dispelled as a result of chapter 1040 where we saw just above the panel giving us an update on Zoro. We saw Brooke with Robin and it seemed like those two straw hats were in a different location. Another popular idea was that it was just a hallucination that Zoro wasn't actually facing up against a real figure. But it was just the effects, maybe the after effects of the miracle drug, the mixed miracle drug. And that is another idea that also now seems unlikely as a result of chapter 1040 because it seems like whatever Zoro was facing off against in chapter 1038 was an actual tangible threat. And this is because Zoro seems to be in a much worse off state than we saw him last time. You know, he's surrounded by a pool of blood and it seems like they're additional to the injuries that he sustained during his fight with King.  And because of the fact that he is indeed falling down, I've seen some comments suggesting that maybe Zoro is actually falling down to where Big Mum is. And I can only imagine that people have been saying that because we saw Zoro falling in the same chapter that we saw Big Mum's defeat, where we saw Big Mum falling down into that crater, into that hole. But I see this quite unlikely because we did see confirm that Kid and Law are the victors. And the only relevance that she might have for the rest of the arc is if she possibly leaves Wano most likely with the help of her children. I've also seen someone else suggesting that that Grim Reaper figure was actually the third CP0 agent currently undercounted for. And I can understand how people could come to that conclusion. I mean during the fight between CP0 and Drake in a poo, we only saw two of the CP0 agents. And we haven't seen that third one with the frills around their neck. Also where we recently saw King get defeated was that third member, was that third CP0 agent who was seen reacting to the Mary's announcing King's defeat. So I suppose the idea is maybe they've gone to handle Zoro afterwards. Again, I'm not a huge fan of this idea either or at least I have some questions. Namely, why did they leave Zoro in that case? If it was the CP0 member, why didn't they take Zoro? Or if they just want Robin alive and the rest of the straw hats dead, why did they not kill Zoro? Why did they leave room for Zoro to still be alive? Because I do think that Zoro is obviously alive. So then some other ideas as to what might be happening to Zoro, who Zoro might come across. The most clear card of this one is Frankie. Because of course we saw that map Oda directly hinted to us that Frankie's goal right now is to find Zoro. But then, thinking amongst the straw hats with Brooke and Robin ruled out like we just discussed earlier, my bias of wanting to see more interactions between the Pirate King's wings, which I have discussed before in my chapter reviews, but my idea, my rationale is that earlier in the arc, we saw the two communicating through the Denden Muschi that Sanji hid in Zoro's clothes earlier and during that conversation, Zoro told Sanji not to die. And I think it would be quite ironic and quite fitting if Sanji's actually the one that found Zoro instead close to death. It would also be reminiscent to Thriller Bark and some of the moments that we've got between those two at the end of that arc. Now of course there's an obvious counter to this, the fact that the last time we saw him, Sanji was still unconscious, but I don't think it'll be too far fetched to think that he could wake up soon, especially considering the fact that Oda actually showed us him being tended to. And that should possibly speed up his recovery. But my personal bias aside, some other characters that are possible candidates who we could see save Zoro, I think Marko's a good candidate, you know, we haven't seen what he's been up to lately, given that he can both fly and that he has healing capabilities, although his healing powers are more limited when it comes to healing others. But still, Zoro is a heavily injured man and also one who is currently shown falling off somewhere. Another thought is if the woman that we saw in the room with the Scabbards much earlier during the raid, if that woman isn't actually presumably Hiyori who we see now in the room with Orochi, could that cloaked mystery figure, could she save Zoro? Because it did seem like that figure helped heal the Scabbards earlier. Or even if they are the same person, the masked woman with Orochi right now, could this suggest Zoro playing a hand in Orochi's downfall?  And on one hand that could be a great payoff to a moment that we got ages ago, but then on the other, given the fact that Zoro is just so heavily injured right now, I really don't expect him to play a huge role in terms of fighting or action right now. And on that note, it does have me wondering about what the point of all of this is. If we're not expecting fights, if we're not expecting him to be involved in the action, what are we expecting? What can we expect from this development? You know, with everything going on, I find it quite perplexing as to the level of attention, as to the level of focus that Oda is giving to Zoro in this development. You know, it is usual that we see the straw hats come together, see them recoup after they're one-on-one, they're individual exploits. But I think the reason why we are so interested in Zoro right now, is that with Zoro, there seems to be this level, this added layer of mystery. And that suggests that there's more to the story for Zoro. And although we've seen so much from Zoro in this arc, you know, especially during the raid, he's achieved so much and has had such a good showing. I don't think many of us would be surprised if his character arc does continue, because I think that's what most of us have been expecting all along. Just as the Hulkic Island arc was Sanji's arc, second to Luffy of course, I think the expectation has been that we're gonna get something similar for Zoro in One-O. You know, this is considering the fact that Zoro is the character, the straw hat who would be Japanese in real life, and of course, with everything that's been set up between Zoro and the Shimotsuki family, some of which has been fulfilled, what were the things that we found out about Kozaburo and the Shimotsuki village in the East Blue, but it's safe to say that we obviously don't have the full story yet. Which is why personally for me, I would most like it if this Grim Reaper development was somehow connected to the remaining mysteries or was used to further Zoro's development. Now whether that be related to Zoro's powers, such as the Grim Reaper being the personification of Enma, an Enma challenging Zoro to turn it into a Black Blade, which is of course another popular theory. It wouldn't even necessarily have to be Enma, because the Sandai Kitetsu is also quite heavily related to the idea of death, which is of course what the Grim Reaper also represents, but the obvious counter to that is that we have seen the personification of Zoro's swords, apart from Enma, and none of those drawings, those characterizations, resembled the Grim Reaper. Another possibility is that this is actually still the result of the Miracle Drug. You know, right before we saw Zoro in Chapter 1038, we saw Chapa and Miyagi being worried about Zoro's fate, about the after effects of the Miracle Drug and how Zoro's handling it all. And so for me, that raised the question of whether we are actually seeing Zoro just struggling with the Miracle Drug and with its after effects. With the introduction to Brooke's character and his devil fruit, the idea of an underworld in One Piece could be taken to exist, even if it isn't fully fleshed out. And so maybe if the underworld does exist in the world of One Piece, maybe the way in which someone accesses it is through dying or essentially dying, like a near-death experience. And now Zoro is really close to death as a result of all the injuries that he sustained during the raid, and then that being doubled as a result of the Miracle Drug, maybe he has come in contact with the underworld, and this could be how it results in the development of Zoro's power. In a similar way that Brooke can summon the Chills of the underworld, maybe Zoro could bring about the underworld's darkness or its terror. And this could again go back to Zoro advancing Enma, you know, it's a sword that was named after the Buddhist God of Hell, aka the underworld. Or if Zoro is dead or is in this death limbo, could this be a good opportunity for Zoro to meet some deceased figures? Zoro's character is just surrounded by a plethora of dead people, and especially from the Shimotsuki family. You know, we've got Kuina, Yuma, Yasui, and then of course Ushimaru and Kazaburo. Perhaps Zoro could have a conversation with one of them, and this could lead to some more backstory reveals, or this could be the way in which he advances his power. If we went back to Enma, could we even see him have a conversation with his swords, or maybe some sort of out-of-body experience, which isn't something that we've seen in one piece, but this could be a first maybe? Or going back to the fact that Zoro was seen falling in the last chapter, this obviously also raises a question as to where. Is it another place on Onigashima? Or is it somewhere on Mainland Wano? Is it the Flower Capital? Is it the gravesites of the Shimotsuki family, for example? Is it going to lead us to uncovering more lore, such as the Ponoglyphs, such as the secrets to his Shimotsuki heritage? Because again, I do find it very intriguing that Oda seems to have something very interesting planned for Zoro's character based on these scenes. It seems like there is still room for development for Zoro at Wano, even after his one-on-one fight, and when I think what's next, I immediately go to the unanswered questions about his connection to Wano, and how this could possibly connect to the deeper lore at Wano, and how it connects to the wider world, although of course it could be just as simple as explaining how or why Zoro is going to be temporarily incapacitated in the next arc post-Wano. But that's just where my head's been at. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Don't forget to like and share the video.

All right, the virtual draft party continues. We got a couple of guys now that were highly responsible for that magic last season quarterback. Ryan Tannehill and linebacker Rashawn Evans, both first-rounders, might I add. How are you guys? Well, great. How's it going? Good, good, good, man. Awesome. Thank you so much for being here. So, Ryan, I'll start with you. Are you still kind of riding on a high from last season?  Yeah, it was a fun year. You know, a really incredible year the way we kind of turned it around and it made a run. But it's on next year. You know, I think that chapter close to me as soon as the season was over, you know, obviously had a little time to reflect and look back at what we were able to do. And now it's on the next season. You know, we have a new team, some new guys we're getting ready to add tonight and, you know, a lot of work to do. So, getting excited for next year. All right, and Rashawn, there's something magical. I often hear this and, you know, hey, Eddie, correct me if I'm wrong, but the third year coming up, are you, are you, are you Jones going to get out there? Oh, most definitely, man. That third year, you know, just from my first and second year, I would say it's been like night and day. So, I'm definitely excited to see what the third year, you know, holds for me, man. You know, everything is kind of looked different right now as far as training. You know, you're not able to go to most of your, your places that you normally work out as, you know, most of the time, I would be down there in Florida, man, training down there with Tony Villani's, but I'm here in Nashville training. So, other than that, man, I'm definitely excited for the season. Yeah, Rashawn, man, I'm a big fan, man. You made some great strides last year, made some explosive plays. Just a big fan of you, man. And I think, it looked like last year, everything just slowed down for you at the lineback position. How did it feel? I feel really good, man. Just from my first year, dealing with the hamstring injury, man. You know, it's definitely a journey, especially coming in as a rookie, man, being able to try to catch up to everybody. Can y'all hear me? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's definitely a journey, man, trying to be able to catch up to the speed of the game, man. You know, and when you have a hamstring injury, it kind of slows down all of that, especially learning curves. So now, man, I feel like, you know, just for two years up under my belt, man, having a really good, you know, I just came from the second one. You know, I'm definitely excited to see, man, not only for myself, but the team, man.  Like, do you, Ryan, want a particular position picked? And Rashaan, I mean, are you, do you have a want here? Oh, Rashaan, go ahead first. I have my answer. No, shoe, Ryan, what you say, what you think? I say out of it. I, that's been my whole mindset since I got to lead is like, you know, there's always something that you're kind of looking for, but at the same time, I just try to take a step back. Hey, these guys put hours and hours, thousands of hours into finding the right fit, not only for a position, but for our team. So just really trusting the organization, trusting in the guys that are, that are devoting their whole year, basically, to setting up their board and then get ready for this draft. Hands off approach for me and just excited to see what we get. Okay. All right. Yeah, I grew with Tenio, man. I mean, you know, you getting the draft round this time, man, you really just want to get the best possible person you can possibly get to help the team, man.  You know, I'm looking forward to who's going to be that next guy. Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, when I played, I looked at the draft in 10. So I was like, man, I hope we get, you know, Kevin Dyson, I love, that's my man at the heart, but we had a chance to get Randy Moss. And when they skipped over Randy, I was like, okay, that was an interesting non-pick, you know? So I knew what it could have done for our offense and possibly, you know, for me, not having to carry the ball 50 times a game. So I guess it's a little different for you guys now, unless you all just saying, you know, you know who you want, but you don't want to put it out there. Almost definitely, almost definitely. That's great. Well, how about physically though, during this quarantine, during this lockdown, all that we're having to deal with, are you just having to modify your own personal workouts at home? How difficult is it for you guys? Yeah, so it's definitely a different situation than I'm used to just being here at home. I'm thankful and blessed to have a little jump here at the house. So, you know, I added some new workout equipment to that once this quarantine got going and you've just been working out here at the house. I got a pretty good setup with dumbbells and kettlebells and all types of machines. So, you know, excited to get back to work. It's different, like you said, just not being able to get in a gym and have that camaraderie with guys, but, you know, still getting that working. Well, and like you said, it's definitely different. To me, it feels like high school all over again, man, when you really have, you don't have some of the top-notch equipment that you normally have.  I'm back to doing my old school push-ups, doing my abs and all the other stuff. So I've just been enjoying it the whole time. All right, man, guys, thank you so much. Well, I appreciate, as a fan, what you bring to the two-tone blue. I'm excited for this season coming up. I can't wait to see who we get. It's gonna play with you. But yeah, Ryan, you said it off the top. It's about looking forward. Yeah, of course.  Obviously, kind of weird getting ready in this crazy time, but, you know, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, all right, guys, thank you so much for hanging out with us. Have a great draft party wherever you are. Be safe working out in your backyard. And we hope you get this season going right on time and hope to see you on the field soon. Thank you for being with us. No doubt, thanks for having me.


Hello. So, I just had a question of people in the audience if you could raise your hands. How many people here are familiar with or have used OpenStreetMesh? Oh, wait a minute. And how many people here are familiar with or have used any variety of GIS, geographic information systems? Oh, great. Then I can cancel my talk. So, I actually didn't know who I was going to be here, and when I spoke with Dejesh and Nisha about this, I was expecting there to be about 20 people or so, and now there's like 200. So, I was going to speak about OpenStreetMap and about spatial data, sort of geographic information more generally. But then I thought that I might actually talk more about my own experience as a PhD researcher, cover some of the basic GIS and OpenStreetMap kind of fundamentals, and then, you know, in the third part of my talk, if I have time, I'll start running through some stuff on the web which we could meet in the afternoon in a more informal setting when some of the other people who are here would come up with mapping and spatial data and we can take that on. So, if I don't finish by the end, at least the first two parts of the presentation should be okay. Now, does this work? Wow. Okay. I'm a historian. I'm doing my PhD in urban history. Everything I'm going to talk about is really related to the city where I live and study Mumbai. It's broadly applicable elsewhere, but I can't really speak for more than that, and I can't also speak for uses of mapping in, say, ecological or environmental things. I'm talking mostly about the urban kind of arena. And this is where I work in the archive of the BMC, the Bombay Municipal Corporation, and these are the kinds of archives that I deal with. They are very, very difficult to find, to access, to repaginate, and to make sense of. And it's a lot of really hard work that historians kind of get a kick out of doing that. A bit like software programmers in the sense that we spend a lot of our time dealing with code, but in my case, the code is a lot of ancient, or not ancient, but sort of colonial documents, physical cooperation. And it's really interesting what's happening. I mean, there's a lot of people who are always very negative about working with government, and then you can never get anything out of government. You always have to file an RTI. I've come back to India after five years, mostly of being in the U.S. at MIT, where I was teaching and doing the other things before they actually let you do your real PhD research. And during that five years, the RTI Act has been around and been enforced throughout the country. And I've noticed a dramatic difference in dealing with this particular office, in fact, where I used to go seeking information about the history of land, buildings, properties, tenancies, leaseholds in the city. And now, actually, this type of a situation is going away now. In the government, sorry, in the municipal corporation, but within the state of Maharashtra, there's actually been a government order going down for the past three, four years now that every municipal body, municipal corporation or council now has to install ISO-certified record keeping systems classification to stem the tide of RTI requests. RTI is literally pushing a lot of these institutions into a place where they can deal because their own record keeping practices have declined so much in the past 20 to 30 years. There are different explanations for that. A lot of it has to do with language and English. I don't think it has so much to do with corruption as with general overall inefficiency. And I happen to have been lucky to have been working in the municipal corporation at the time when these new record rooms are actually being set up. So I get access to all sorts of wonderful data. And most data that is about cities is also about space. It can be mapped. So I'm going to just run through some of my own experiences of dealing with a few different types of databases, some from the municipal corporation having to do with properties, some from the collector's office, which is a revenue department dealing with land, and also transport data from the BST, the best, which is Bombay's bus company, and a project that I've been running with some of my friends for the past few months called ChaloBest. This is normally the problem that we've had for the past few years, is that where do we first get our data? There's a whole group of us who spend a lot of time writing a lot of custom scripts to scrape data off of government websites. Before you could actually walk into a government office with a pen drive and they would actually give you something, which they do now. We had no other option but to do this. This is an example of get your property card online. You go to this website, which is a really, really badly designed website by the National Informatics Centre. Totally insecure. You type in your cadastral survey number, and it gives, it's not very legible, but it gives you an entire ownership history. It gives you every detail about it going back to the old British surveys of the 1870s and 1930s. Now, what I didn't realize when I first looked at this website is that every one of these pages has a unique URL. So that meant that I could actually sit for one night, write a script, and download all of them and put them into a database that I could then search for myself. Because I was interested in the history of land holding patterns in the city and I had no data to deal with.  But, you know, I didn't actually have something that I could search or discover things easily with or establish patterns or trends or make connections, which is what all researchers basically do.  And we created a very simple web admin that actually allowed me to search through it and find very interesting patterns. I learned actually that about 40% of the island city of Mumbai is owned by ghosts and zombies. These people don't exist anymore. They are no longer the holders of the properties and game question, but their names are still on the books and the names are actually still on the website, including I found a friend of mine's grandfather who passed away in 1950. He still owns a building right on the street from my house. So these are the kinds of interesting kind of fun experiments that I got involved with. But I never had a map to connect this to. These are all tabular databases, they're big lists of stuff, right? In this case, having to deal with sort of property. Then I went actually searching for map data from the municipal corporation and through some contacts with some, in fact, Zainab was talking about the slum toilet study that we did. The same engineer who we worked with to do that study several years ago, privately one day kind of called me to his office and he said, bring your Ben drive. And he actually gave me all of this spatial data of Mumbai. Now it's beautiful stuff. I mean, you can't really see it if you could actually see it in higher resolution. It's absolutely stunning. I mean, it's every building in the city. Now the thing is that this is not really spatial data.  They don't have that long, you know, coordinates on them. They're not geo-referenced. You can't really do anything with this except look at it and, you know, it looks really nice and you can color it and style it in different ways. None of these buildings are actually closed polygons. I can't treat them as data objects. So thus, and this was only just about five, six years ago, I decided to teach myself GIS. How could I fix this and connect it to real tabular data so that I could actually map out these types of trends? And then I went to MIT and I sat in the GIS lab for two years and figured out this is the wrong way of doing things. But in the meantime, I figured out how to deal with spatial data. This is actually what that, what you previously just saw is actually generated from this, which is the development plan for Greater Mumbai, which actually you see all of these color coding and symbolities on the side are for reserving certain lands for certain purposes, whether it's for education, open space, civic amenities, hospitals, clinics, whatever. Each of them has got a code. Each of them has got a certain type of reservation that is guaranteed by law. And the municipal corporation actually uses this to vet every building proposal in the city in any type of land development. Now most people have not seen their own DP sheet. There are about 270 out of them that covered the entire Greater Mumbai area, but you wouldn't actually know where all the gardens and parks in your area are supposed to be unless you look at this. And most of the time they're not actually there. They've been encroached, they've been sold, they've been, I mean you must have heard about the other housing scams that I need to tell you about Mumbai. Now this was the thing that I went back to the municipal corporation to find out because they have even more data that I could possibly link to certain types of geographic attributes and approach this problem in a different way. I guess the resolution is not very good. This is a fantastic thing that I just got a few months ago after a bit of plotting with the chief accountant's office. It is a listing of the ownership and tenancy history of every plot in the island city of Mumbai in a gigantic Excel spreadsheet. It's really, really exciting. I know it doesn't sound like it. But I don't know how to map this. I don't even know where most of these places are. Unless I go back and look at survey sheets and I take this number and I actually kind of go through it and figure out where that number is. So it's a very, very painstaking manual process. These are the types of survey sheets that have the plot numbers on them. This, in fact, is my own neighborhood. My house is right down here. And I was thinking to myself then now, okay, I've got this one big database from the other side. I've got these old survey sheets with these numbers. Again, how do I map this? And this is still a problem that I myself am trying to solve in which I think a lot of other people who have got big databases that they want to map out or that do have these will have the same kind of itch that they need to scratch. One way of doing this is, oh my God, this is really terrible. So this is an open street map, the exact same survey sheet that you just saw. So this survey sheet is this an open street map. And if you can see here, I've actually gone and started hand-numbering every building. I've drawn all of these buildings myself as well because I'm studying this neighborhood and the history of land and property is very, very painstaking.  And that's the type of energy and itch scratching that the open street map project is built upon. People who have a real passion to explore, document, tag, annotate their own spaces. And if you connect that enthusiasm to the kind of public databases that are now becoming available, not really through RTI because RTI is kind of like a single shot pistol. You can just ask for one thing and you get it or you don't get it. But what we need is more like an automatic weapon sort of approach where we can actually get these big databases from the municipal corporation and parse them in certain sort of machine readable ways. And that's really the big problem. So I'll just, well, I'm going to go back to that. This is my final example dealing with the transportation database because the resolution on this is not very good again but this is the BST, the Bombay bus companies master Atlas 4 running every bus in Greater Mumbai. It runs into about a thousand rows. It's got very, very precise timings as you can see for headway and run time. But this is again very, very difficult data to deal with because this is maintained every month by the bus company and it's used as a way for them to keep tabs on their depo managers and make sure that the efficiency of services is balancing the load of passengers and things like that. So it's a really, really nice set of data but if you'll notice here there are a lot of missing values for headways at certain times of day that we've had to develop logic and code to compensate for that to make this machine readable and be able to pipe it out into things like Google Maps and OpenStreetMap and certain routing algorithms. It's a very, very difficult problem but it's not insurmountable particularly if the authorities start sharing data in these types of formats with you. And this is the most lovely thing that the BST has ever given to us which is a list of all of the bus stops in Bombay with their names on them as well as all of the routes that are there. So what we've actually done in this project that I'm running in collaboration with the BST and a group of people that's supported by IHS it's called Chalobest is that we've actually now gone and mapped out most of these stops. There's a very simple web interface around this public database and I think you can see it. And over about a week or so we just threw it out there, had groups of students come over to our lab in the evening and if they were from a certain area I mean I may know the bus stops in my own locality of Bombay but I don't know where every bus stop in the city is located. I don't know anyone who does but everyone knows their area. So what we did was that we just built a very simple quick and dirty web interface to browse this database and plop down points on the map and put them back into the database it's a very very difficult process especially making the maps in the absence of spatial data that comes to us from the authorities who actually have this data in spite of the fact that I know a lot of people in the municipal corporation I've been working there as a Ph.D. researcher for two years and I know that they have what are called the shape files which are actually the geo-referenced vector data for all the greater Mumbai. One of the engineers who was there and I can't give you this we won't even give it to MMRDA or the state government or the slum rehabilitation authority why would we give it to you? So that's the objective situation it's not that the data is not there and there are ways of getting at it and for the next few months I'll keep trying to get it somehow and I might be successful and when I am then that actually makes a lot of this work that I was just describing much much easier and I'm going to go back to the CRS to actually figure out how to do which is to map out property databases in the city this is the Mumbai City Collector this is where everyone comes to do a title search for their properties and this place is like walking into like a Dickens novel the way that all these petitioners are around and these ancient sort of registers that they have to pull off of these racks that are all written in longhand English that even I can't read my friends in the US keep telling me what are all the digital archives out there there's a hell of a lot more fun than a digital archive if you're into the thrill of the hunt so to go back now I'm going to kind of change gears a little bit, yeah go ahead the same files that you mentioned do they have do they have any kind of photo where they have saved it because I was trying to do it in the state of UP and at least they have a GIS called Srishti I was with the GIS officer in the NIC like no office but he, I asked him the same they gave him the same file he said we cannot but what we can do is collaborate with you and host the application and let the application use the files see I think every state is different and every body is also different you know I have been really impressed with how accountable and friendly the BMC is which everyone thinks is the most corrupt body in India, whatever, whatever all the complaints and little glass people but compared to state government agencies in Mumbai they are complete they shut the door in your face they don't even entertain your request so I think that it really varies but up until this point for spatial data except for parliamentary constituencies and district boundaries and district boundaries were available as shapefiles online a couple of years ago they've now been taken offline luckily I downloaded them then it's still not, we're still not there though there is you know open data spatial data has particular characteristics when you say give me a map we don't want a PDF or a JPEG we want a shape file so I'm going to get into some of that now so what the fish is GIS just for those of you who don't know and should bring all of us onto the same page there's a big difference between old school GIS geographic information systems we've got a lot of people for the past five to say seven years now calling NeoGeography which is a sort of web 2.0 crowd sourcing open street map whole trend but the real crucial kind of conceptual difference is actually about how we treat the map and I think Google Maps and Google Earth sort of stand somewhere in between GIS and NeoGeography and that Google Maps and Google Earth have really democratized the use of maps and the availability of particularly satellite imagery around for decades but there was never any way to serve it to people easily through some technology like the web you needed even broadband to run Google Earth which most of us didn't have five years ago and maps themselves being large printed documents which are incredibly detailed and require a high amount of persistence to be legible can be interpreted in millions of different ways even once you get them online they don't make them any more easy to discern or interpret right I mean maps are a unique form of media they're not like print they're not like video they're not like audio in that sense which are much more easily delivered over the web so open street map has really come into a point where and I'll kind of go into SM a bit we were actually looking at maps not as a read only medium but as a read write medium so I need to go fast why not Photoshop, Caterer, Illustrator most of you would know that because they're not actually geographic drawing tools they're just drawing tools every data needs to be georeferenced to be used spatially and why not Google Maps Google Earth I mean I have nothing wrong with them but the ownership of the data is an issue open street map like Wikipedia is community owned and you can actually make your own maps and tell your own stories through open street map so as everyone knows the sort of holy trinity for those of us from the free software movement everything is based on free and open source software I don't need to tell you guys about that open data formats and standards obviously are crucial but even more so in the realm of GIS because as I said if government agency gives you a map which is a PDF versus giving you a shape file they're empowering you in a totally different way with the raw data and we need to use these sorts of shared models standard services to kind of keep everything in sort of sync and open and public data of course is the foundation of this none of what I've been able to do would have been possible just by scraping websites once I start getting actually tabular data in a certain form from the authorities is when the fund begins like say with the BST so these are the types again this is a very technical thing just running through the different types of spatial and geographic data there's raster imagery which is basically pixel images there are vector features which are like line point drawings and there's tabular data right your lists your tables your spreadsheets whatever right and the the point of GIS or of mapping is to bring these things together right every object on the map is also an entry in the database and every object in the map is represented in only one of three ways it's either a point or it's a line which is a set of points or it's a polygon which is a closed line right so actually they're all derivatives of one thing which is a point which is a latitude longitude point and those of you who use GPS none of that would be familiar with how that works so everything is a combination of these three essential geographic building blocks as far as features are concerned features that is geographic features and these are the sort of file formats and standards that many of you who have done some work with geographic data or have heard about it would be familiar with the file formats of course shapefiles, GOTIF, GPX is what comes off the GPS device and these are all the open formats and web services that actually power the delivery of map data particularly over the web but also through database servers and this is how it all fits together another kind of nice technical diagram which is actually now quite dated this is from about four years ago and in fact the situation has dramatically simplified in the world of open source geospatial software so we can maybe talk more about that in a breakout session in the afternoon those of us who have worked with it so this is my last slide does anybody know who this is does anybody know where this is New York I'm really interested in New York not only because I've lived there but because like Mumbai it's an island city that had a very constrained ecology and which was subject to a high amount of capitalist violence and this guy was one of the guys who was the main architect of that between about 1940 and 1970 his name was Robert Moses he was the guy who built all the flyovers he also preserved a lot of really beautiful parks he laid the foundations for all of the bridges and everything that now connect Manhattan with Brooklyn with Queens with Long Island with its and there's a great book about him which won the Pulitzer Prize called The Power Broker about how he accumulated this kind of bureaucratic authority simply because all of the agencies that he was dealing with were so scattered and fragmented that they didn't understand the city's territory and geography and he had a really really good and passionate understanding of maps and he was also a champion swimmer he used to swim through the rivers and the Long Island Sound actually so he was on a high degree and he used it for generally what is agreed to be a very bad thing like basically promoting cars keeping poor people off of the beaches that sort of thing so we don't like him but he's the type of person who sits in every MMRDA BDA whatever type of authority the technograph so I mean the idea is that to take the power out of the hands of these people and put it in the hands of people like us to free the map empower your community whoever that may be since the community is a term that could apply to your clients it could apply to some others it's whoever you want but they will be empowered get out of the house and explore it's a good way to get up, go mapping it also helps to unlock a certain knowledge that we all have about our local environments but we often don't actually put down in writing or put down on the map where the locations of certain cultural institutions social institutions that sort of thing and geodata is a public good it's not a commodity it's still treated like that well it was almost over anyway so actually I'm just going to spend two minutes can I spend two minutes just showing some stuff on the web I'm starting with a big club for there's Jace for Hasge crew organized this excellent workshop with a group of friends of mine a few weeks ago if you guys want to know more about geodata and stuff like that and all the tools that I just very quickly ran through have a look at this website and talk to Kiran or Zaina or anyone else who's here this is about everything's really off-center now okay so maybe this is better done in a smaller room but I'm just going to run through very quickly some of the tools that are out there now for doing this Tylenol also called I mean it's supported by a company called Mapbox is a really really excellent tool for getting started with doing maps online just press the zoom button which zoom button which zoom button control I don't know even I don't know that okay anyway this is the that's much better right so this is Tylenol this is a little bit more of Tylenol you can actually go to this site and have a look at Mapbox.com these are the types of maps that you can do with Tylenol in a very simple way if you have like CSV data you know spreadsheets, lists that sort of thing and these are just some examples of thematic maps that can be made with Tylenol of different places PolyMaps is also a really nice JavaScript library for styling maps you can also have a look at this these are all different sorts of stylings that can be done they can be used even if you don't have a lot of spatial data you can still do a lot in terms of actually telling stories with maps using PolyMaps this is a tool that I have helped to develop for the New York Public Library called the map worker which actually allows you to take any scanned image and geo-reference it by pointing and clicking a bunch of points in common on a map and then what it does is that it gives you an overlay it allows you to overlay scanned imagery on top of actual maps so you can see that's open street map in the background and this is a city survey map from the 1960s of Mumbai which I actually found in the library in Chicago but this is really cool and this is very helpful I can show people how to use this later on in the afternoon Geojango is a web framework and Geojango is increasingly popular it's what I use to build the property card database and what we're doing with ChaloBest this is an example of what Geojango can do these are all the bus stops that I mentioned and we're actually using the BST database as a kind of a baseline this is all of the official data we're adding Marathi transliterations and we're actually adding locations to this as well which I showed you with the other interface yes and this is that stop editor interface which I also showed you and this is open street map I haven't gotten this this is the same map that I was showing you earlier but this is actually the editor interface and so probably in the afternoon those of you who are not familiar with editing OSM or tags and things like that we can go through that sort of in a smaller group and Geoj, time to take questions so okay until you settle this right then I'm just going to play this video so oh you're not going to have to disconnect this okay anyway I was going to show you the OSM change history for one year on a globe okay so are there any questions at this video I'll send the links around I will yeah I'll be posting all the links and the powerpoint that I just showed and send it around sorry is it public information can you put it online I could but why would I it's public information because I got it from government really do I have the rights to republish it I don't know that's a really good question of what is public if a BMC officer gives you a big spreadsheet on a pen drive is that public information but then the question is information derived from that data that is one thing that I've got to clear a question at least as far as transport data is concerned the BST has told us that we don't want you sharing our raw database whatever you want to put out on your API enhanced or not mentioned in your own ways you're free to do but I don't know about these property databases I mean I'm sure that every builder in the city has got it on his heart just already could she I guess talk about your research and the organology of mobile as your what are you trying to achieve on a larger scale are you trying to make data accessible or are you trying to publish fine things about geographical relationships spatial relationships I think that the whole process of research is always about making interesting and unconventional connections between things whether it's bits of data or different arguments about things and I think that I got into this not with the idea of making it all public which I think is an interesting byproduct of my research and I would like to make it public but essentially it was a tool for me to understand the city's history and as I said I'm still struggling towards that because the data is not there in a way that I could do that in New York City for instance where I've worked with the New York Public Library we have a historical GIS project that's been going on for three years where we've got building level histories I mean every building is a database also full of stories right about the past so is every building in Bombay but we don't have a framework for doing that yet so I think that a historical GIS would have helped me in my PhD research unfortunately I have to submit by this summer so I can keep doing this type of stuff but yeah I mean I would like to put it out as and when I'm happy with the results of the mapping


Hoi Hoi and welcome to Dank Memes from Site-19, where I go over only the dankest memes from the r slash dank memes from Site-19 subreddit. Let's get started. Dr. Sumerian finally says that someone is right, everyone. He is the chosen one. He will bring balance. You know one of the things about this movie that always bothered me? Okay, so talk about the actual image that the meme is based around rather than the meme itself because I've said people were right before, that's a thing that happens more commonly than... Anyway, okay, so in the Star Wars universe, when he says this and when the prophecy is brought up, like as a concept, there are like thousands of Jedi and only two Sith. So in order to bring the Force into balance, he would either need to be the cause of the rise of like a ton of Sith or be the cause of the elimination of like a ton of Jedi. I don't understand why none of the Jedi were like considerate of that as a possibility. Balance is not necessarily a net good when the light side of the Force is winning. I mean, you know, maybe they think that that's a problem, but if the light side is way, way ahead, there's only a couple of ways to bring balance to the Force and neither of them are good for Jedi in any way. Author Avatar the Last Reality Pender. I am going to be honest here, I don't recognize much Avatar meme-y stuff, so I don't really know what's going on here. I think I've heard people meme before that my character looks like he's part of like, what's the word, some Fire Nation guy? Like I don't know Avatar all that well, but I think there's somebody with like scars on the side of his face. Anyway, I still like it. It's a nice poster. Warning classified material will be on this point. Unauthorized access will be monitored, located and dealt with. This is your sole warning. As opposed to welcome to the SCP Foundation, we are a community devoted to expanding, creating the SCP universe. If you are new, we recommend visiting the SCP Foundation official wiki in the links below, or just ask for help in the subreddit and then a bunch of links. Yeah, it is interesting. There's a tug of war going on on the wiki, which is mostly skewed in favor of the second approach here. But there still is a bit of a tug of war because you want your articles to seem as realistic as possible, while at the same time you want people to understand that it's also fiction. Because you want your internal consistency of the realism to make sense, but if you do too good of a job, people start going, wait, what if the SCP Foundation is real and then become incredibly annoying? The balance, me, serious and sad tales, joke tales, wait, is this the reference to the bottle cannon? I wonder if it's just a happy coincidence or if it's an actual reference to the bottle cannon, which is mostly a bunch of joke tales. I don't know. I'm kind of curious. Although the content of this isn't interesting, like the SCP wiki has all sorts of articles, not just tales. They're funny, and then there are sad and serious SCP articles, so you get a mixture of both, and I think that's useful. You could be reading a bunch of really dark and sad articles, and then you get a bit of a palette cleanser out of the funny ones.  I would say 2017 called, but we both know that you already used your phone call and nobody picked up. Let's be real here. These are the same character, right? I mean, the Sarkating Mechanite gods are the same god. What is a flesh monster if not a really very complex machine? Let's be real here. 3K contest, horror theme to reflect wiki's creepypasta roots, 3K contest, history theme to celebrate the massive lore the wiki has created, 5K contest. It's a mystery. You know, I don't even know that that was necessarily the 4K contest. History theme in the 4K contest was a mess, it was a terrible thematic choice. The people running that contest, oh my god, I have so many opinions about that. It was just a terrible choice. Why would anyone decide on the SAP wiki you would choose history as your primary driving theme for a 4K contest which is going to result in like, you know, 10% of your articles at a bare minimum are going to be about history? Really? I'm not saying that I like history. I am personally a huge history nerd, but it just, and I'm fine with history themed articles but creating a theme where 10% of an entire series is going to come out as history boggles the mind, it's not, history is not a genre normally associated with the SAP wiki.  SAP 682 submerge in a vat of acid while the foundation is in the other room setting up another termination attempt. Bro, I'm straight up not having a good time. You know what, let's try a 682 voice. Bro, I'm straight up not having a good time. No, no. It's a little, it's a little bit weird. Bro. Bro. Bro. Sorry. Bro is your first word. I'm straight up not having a good time. Disgusting. Disgusting. Bro, I'm straight up not having a good time. Bro. I'm straight up not having a good time. Ooh, I like that. Bro. I'm straight up not having a good time. Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah, should take a year. It does make, I've actually been thinking about creating a game based around SAP 682. There's a lot of, don't read too much into that. A lot of people think about making a game, so it's not like, and it's as far as my thinking has gone. Well, no, I have, I have some of it plotted out in my head and planned out in my head, but it's still in my head. So, you know, you know how that goes. People, people plan to make all sorts of things and then never, never, ever get it done. But yeah, I've been thinking about it and then it starts off with him submerging a bad acid. That's it. That's a thing. Yeah.  All right.

You know, that's actually the second article I've written. Second popular article I've even written where someone just irrationally hates somebody else. In this particular case, it seals hating Carl, but in the bridge that makes you hate Carthage, it's just about irrational hatred of Carthage. It's like, what if you took hatred and focused it on something completely weird? And that's what I do. Oh, hey, three of my least favorite things and two of my favorite things. And one thing I don't have any opinion about. I'll let you guess which is which. Donald J. Trump. I think I forgot something. Pence, if you forgot, then it wasn't important. Donald J. Trump. Yeah, you're right. I'm not going to try and do a Trump impression. Powerful withered wizard Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Tiffany Trump. The 972 slot authors. And I wish series one slots would open up more often because stuff gets deleted on a fairly regular, well, stuff would get deleted on a somewhat regular basis, maybe every six months, maybe every three months. Sorry to tell. The site is so obsessed with preserving their history when they could just, you know, preserve their history on a different platform and allow better articles to take the place of the crappier articles. But that's never going to happen. Just absolute insanity. So instead they just, I believe when this was created, it's now actually been taken up about an article. I think it's about a week old maybe. And it's a plus 42, which is sort of mediocre actually, but maybe it'll do a little bit better. But the important part is that there are like seven or eight failed drafts in that slot before someone finally managed to make it work. That's modern SCP writers.  Bad series one articles. Heritage collection son.  And it's weird. It's one of those things that literally most of staff hates too. And they just can't figure out a way to get rid of it. That works. Nobody wants it. Well, that's not your not nobody, but almost no one wants the heritage collection to exist. And yet it still exists and has for years, even though for years no one's wanted it to exist. It puts front and center, some of the worst articles on the site. Now some of them are really good, some of them are mediocre, but they put some very bad articles front and center on the site and goes, yeah, these are the impressive ones. These are the ones that you... For a site that is so dismissive, it's weird, all right? So, you know, you've got authors and staff in general on the site that are so dismissive of new people on the wiki that like old articles. And yet all this infrastructure still remains to try and push old articles on these people. And then after they write an article like that and it fails and they go, I don't understand why they go, series one sucks, that's why. Stop setting people up to fail. It's not because series one sucks, but I mean that's what they'll say. It's really because series one had a particular style that is no longer in vogue. It's like, you know, various types of genre go in and out of fashion, both in the movies or in books and et cetera, and television as well, you know? So, sometimes the style of article for series one is no longer really popular type. You can't create new... It's not that you can't. It's difficult to create new content with that type of article. So when you pushed them and put them in front of people and be like, this is what we recall, this is what is historical and is the stuff that's good on this site and so on and so forth, without giving any kind of historical context, people think that they should just replicate that and then they do and fail and then everyone looks down their nose at them.  How could you do this to yourself? Anyway, that's it. Thank you very much for watching.

Be useful. Sounds like something your mum would tell you when you're not doing your chores as a kid, right? Be useful is our mission statement for Heartbeat. It is our brand promise to be useful to you. Let me show you how. Let's say you're on YouTube and you're watching a long-play music video, but they don't have chapters. You can't jump to the different tracks. Here's one that the guy was a bit lazy who uploaded it. You can see in his video description, no chapters, bad YouTuber. But in the comments, one helpful fan decided to do the YouTuber's work for him and create all the chapters. It's a bit far down, but we'll get there. Heartbeat will now collect these moments for you. Here they are. And put them into a playlist that you can use right away. Here's how. When you are on this video and you click the little heartbeat icon, you'll see that there are 70 more community comments. Let me move myself so you can see this. Now, how do you get them? You go here and you look at from comment one. There's actually three comments that have provided chapters. And look, now if I click on any one of these, click. It'll start playing the video. Let me scroll up so you can see it. At that exact moment, move myself again. Here we are. We are playing the video at Alesso. Let's now go to Alesso Magnificence. See, it's now at 1341. Let's try Calvin Harris, 0930. We have just imported all of the comment chapters, chapters generated by comments into your heartbeat. So now you can enjoy the music. Guys, if you are trying to do this with the YouTube interface, look at the problem. If you click on one of these, oh yeah, let's listen to this. It scrolls back to the top and you lose your comments with your time codes. Kind of a useless feature. Not very useful, is it? Well, pretty girl. This is where useful heartbeat comment or chapters come in, which is right here. Now speaking of that pretty girl, let's say you wanted to bookmark this pretty girl. Like you just press H. Look what happened. Moment saved. We have now created a moment of this pretty girl, so that if you in the future want to come back to your pretty girl moment, here it is. Pretty girl. You can revisit her at any time in the future as you like. Now you can edit this and you give it a title like pretty girl. You can give it a description, add tags, even add it to a playlist. So you can collect all your moments into your favorite playlist and click save. And here she is again, so I can just click plus moment while I'm in the extension and it created a new moment called pretty girl, or moment two. But let's say I want to get to the start of the moment. Like that's not quite the start. Where does she start? She starts right, right, right. Come on, where is it? Right here. So I am able to get the exact start point by very carefully going point one seconds. Even if I wanted to go by one frame to see the exact frame where she comes into the picture, which is right there. You saw that? So here there was a flash of something else here. It's right where she starts, so I'm going to click save. I now have the, whoop, I didn't call it pretty girl again. Give it a better title. Pretty girl again. And now I have two chapters where I can go pretty girl when she starts and pretty girl again when she's again. And you can just index only this girl throughout the video so you can create a playlist of moments which only shows her and you can skip all this boring stuff which you're not interested to watch. This is how useful heartbeat moments are to you. You create your own custom moments of your favorite parts of any music video or video, any video anywhere. Ooh, that was a pretty cool geyser. Let's use heartbeat moments and capture it. So we're going to create a moment right there, new moment and we're going to fine tune it with the geyser. Okay, let's go back a second. Okay, we're right there. Let's go back point one seconds. Oh, right there. That's a pretty good spot. We'll just call it geyser. Am I spelling that right? I hope so. So now we have a third moment with a geyser. In case you thought that was interesting, you could have saved it and then you can share these moments with your friends and family and as a community create like the best moments of the video. Like this one I mentioned. These are community moments from the comments but you can make a copy of these for your own and then use them, update them, modify them to be perfect. Maybe you didn't agree. This was the exact start point for Genesis, Genesee and Medusa so you could edit it after you've made your copy. This is not editable because it's from the comments. You can't edit YouTube comments but of course when you make your own copy of these then you'll be able to. Now at the moment you cannot create your own copy. There will be a button here that will say make a copy which will let you create a copy but you know Heartbeat Moments isn't out yet. It's still in development and I'm hoping you'll see how useful this is. Guys if you want to try it out right now knowing that it's still incomplete just go to heartbeatmoments.com it'll take you to the Chrome extension and you can install it. Give it a test drive. Tell us what you think. And if you do and you find any issues or have suggestions just email support at freedom.tm so we can fix the issues or implement your suggestions. The other useful feature I wanted to show you is Heartbeat Photos. I've used this in previous videos. Here I am showcasing InsidePlay. Let's zoom in to make sure we understand who he is. There he is. InsidePlay. He's our newest Freedom Partner. But my point is I can showcase his entire channel just by hovering over the thumbnails here and you can see here I wasn't subscribed, right? The subscribe button is not clicked and on the next slide I've subscribed and you can see down here there's the message. Subscription added. Whoops, that was a bit... Let's move the thumbnails. Let's zoom in again. There we go. You can now see subscription added. How am I zooming in? I'm just pressing the numbers. Two, three, four, five, up to nine. That's the maximum zoom and then I'm just hovering the mouse to explore the image. Now, I also showed this to you when we were discussing Freedom Homes. These were the 3D renders of the home we are building in Dubai for YouTubers or anyone who wants this new home. Didn't know we're doing that? Click that eye to see the video where I talk about Freedom Homes. But my point is it was useful to use heartbeat photos to show you what the home will look like. I did this in the video up there in the eye. You could check it out yourself. Now, you can use heartbeat photos right now just as you can use heartbeat moments. Just type heartbeat dot photos. That's it. Heartbeat dot photos. And then you'll be greeted here where you can sign in and I'm already signed in but you just sign in with your Google account and start uploading your photos. Drag and drop. Very simple. You can organize them in galleries and you can make videos about them too. Now, keep in mind this isn't finished yet. There are bugs. So if you do try it, you know, this is beta or even alpha. Just be understanding of that. Next month in June is when we plan to launch this in public release, nicely polished. But until then, you can try it out right now and tell us what you think by emailing support at freedom.tm. So we have heartbeat photos, heartbeat moments, and I hope you find that useful. We will certainly be building a lot more for you. We'll be building vikis, video wikis where you can create your own wiki with video clips. That's why we call it a video wiki. You'll basically take your heartbeat moments that you collect with the Chrome extension and add them to your articles so that you could show your audience the paragraph. They can see the paragraph they're reading. Let me show you an example. It's at viki.vi.ki. Now, you cannot edit anything on the wiki yet, but to give you an example, here is the Freedom Homes article I talked about where I made a video and if you want to see the pool with the glass wall, you just click this button and it goes to the pool with the glass wall right there in the video. Now, you might say, George, this is just like YouTube chapters. Yes, it is, but it's not on YouTube. This is a blog. Can you write on YouTube? Well, you do have the community section and you do have video descriptions, but that's not really blogging, is it, guys? It's not WordPress. This is WordPress. This is a full-featured CMS specifically for writing. We will build this or something like this into our heartbeat viki, which you'll be able to use. Now, let's be a little more descriptive here. This one. I can do this. Powerful motivation. Again, this was things I captured using heartbeat moments. When you get to success, it's not about skill. So if you're reading this article, this statement on my viki, you want to see it. So you click and... When you get to success, it's not about skill. When you get to a certain extent, it's about stamina. It's about you on weight. The whole point is you can combine text with video clips in a new and exciting way that doesn't exist anywhere on the internet today. We are being useful, creating things that don't exist to help you grow. Now, how does this help you get money? We will pay 55% of all revenue created on the articles or photos or moments that you create to you. Everything you create on heartbeat will be profit-shared back to you as a 55% profit share. More than half. That's exactly what YouTube does, guys. We're following the YouTube business model. The only difference is, no 4K, 1K rule, you will make money from the first piece of content you upload. I think that is useful. You will also not have any requirements like you have to reach $100 before you get your first paycheck. When you earn a penny, you will get paid a penny for everything you do on heartbeat. And we're going to have a whole section for communities, small creators, large creators. This will be like YouTube once was 10 years ago. Do you remember all the excitement we had with networks and subnetworks and creating content together because everyone was monetized from the first video they uploaded? Now they're not. YouTube changed the rules. So we're bringing back the YouTube that once was with heartbeat, our own platform. But we're not replacing YouTube, guys. You will still upload to YouTube. Now you can use heartbeat to upload, but we will connect with your YouTube channel and the videos will be hosted on your YouTube channel. Why? Because we want you to still grow on YouTube. YouTube has the audience. The people who watch videos are on YouTube. Of course you need to be on YouTube as a creator as well. But YouTube has created rules that make it very demotivating to be on YouTube. So that's why we're creating heartbeat. But we're still using YouTube because we want you to grow on heartbeat and we want you to grow on YouTube because then you have two revenue streams. That's always better than just one. So heartbeat is for everyone who is frustrated with YouTube to start using heartbeat. And we will help you make money, grow faster, and you'll also grow on YouTube as a side effect. That is the spirit of heartbeat. We all help each other grow together as a family, both on heartbeat and on YouTube. And it's very similar to the spirit of freedom, right? It's basically the same spirit. You know, freedom, this freedom, yeah? Alright guys, I see my son is going down and my green screen is becoming glittery. That means I need to end this video before I do. I went to the gym today, did you? In fact, today I'm starting a five-day fast. I will not eat food, only water for five days. Let's see if I can do it. Why am I doing this? Because I'm getting a bit chubby, guys.  Of course, the answer is diet. Eat better, healthier, less, or just exercise more. So I'm going to try the eat less strategy for the next five days and see what happens. Currently I am 80.5 kilograms as of today. And I went to the gym, so I will continue going to the gym during this five-day water fast, as they call it, because I will be drinking lots of water, just no food. And we'll see how much that weight drops. I want to be 75 or even 70 kilograms, ideally. But let's see. I'll let you know how it goes. I may not even last the full five days. I'm already getting hungry. And I've made a bet with my wife. We are doing this together. Me and my wife, Xenia, will be fasting for five days. However, if one of us starts to eat, they lose the bet.  It's a little personal. But, you know, I don't want to lose. And she doesn't want to lose. So we'll see if we can get to the full five days. And we both win. All right, Freedom Family. Sparkles aside, I hope you are having a great week. I hope you are staying fit and healthy. And if I can be your motivation, I am happy to be so. Who am I? I am the CEO and founder of Freedom! For Freedom and the Freedom Family! We all help each other grow together as a family. And we'll build Heartbeat as a family together. With your suggestions, with your involvement, we're building this together for everyone. Creators? By creators? For creators. Well, it's by web developers, but it's for creators. All right, guys. It's built by web developers, but it will be defined by you as a product, as a feature set. You will be using Heartbeat. Tell us what you want on Heartbeat, and we will build it. Simple as that.

I mean we went from up 10 to down like seven You know I mean so Second just when a guy like Yanis gets going Specifically the way he got going just putting the shoulder down and get into the rim whenever he wants Just like is there anything you guys can do when when when he does that or is it just um, I Mean, I don't think there's many players in the league they can guard them one-on-one Obviously, we're not necessarily the tallest team in the world biggest team in the world But uh, you know, we just got to build that wall And our activity though has to just be extremely extremely high and try to force turnovers and be active in You know, maybe even take some charge as well. I don't think we got any You know, we we had a couple possession in the first Half where we kind of stepped in front or you know, maybe start to the ball He kind of traveled or whatever so things of that nature No, I'm just saying like that active that type of activity level put our bodies in front of them But yeah, I mean he turned it up a notch in and we didn't match it In when you're trying to I guess get to that point where you're building that wall I'm curious whether in your mind fatigue played any kind of role in that late in the game I mean all you guys played like night 19 20 21 minutes What have you in the first half? Do you think that played a role in it in the fourth quarter? Is that just an MVP playing like an MVP? No, we don't have time to make excuses. I think in MVP play like in VP, but we also had things We could have done against that And and yeah, like I said, we don't have time for fatigue. We got to try to come together as quickly as possible And and make this thing happen You
