As the Zika virus has become a larger and larger issue lately, we are left with just one question. What can we do about the Zika virus and how do we stop it? In order to understand the science of stopping the Zika virus, we first have to understand the science behind it. The Zika virus is transmitted to humans primarily through infected mosquitoes. Once inside the human body, the virus usually causes minor symptoms like joint and muscle, pain, fever, etc. and the host usually gets better after 2-7 days. Alright, so if the Zika virus causes such minor symptoms, why is there such a big deal about it? Well, sometimes the Zika virus decides to be a little bit meaner than usual and either does one of two things. Either causes an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the nerve cells, resulting in weakness and paralysis, or if the virus infects a pregnant woman, it can cause a neurological birth defect in the baby called microcephaly, in which the baby is born with an underdeveloped brain. You can learn more about that in my other video on how Zika virus causes microcephaly. Anyways, let's get to the main focus of this video, finding the potential cure for Zika. When the virus invades a host's body, the host's immune system produces antibodies, or proteins that bind to the antigens which are molecules found on the surface of viruses. By binding to the virus and keeping it trapped, the antibodies stop the virus from undergoing any further replication. However, in order to bind to the virus, the site of the antibody which binds to the antigen has to match the shape of the antigen molecule. Otherwise, the antibody can trap the virus. Fortunately, all Zika virus strains have the same surface antigen, meaning that a vaccine which provides immunity to one strain can provide immunity to all the strains. But how exactly do we make a vaccine? Well, it's simple, kind of.  As your immune system attacks the debilitated form of the pathogen, it gains immunity by producing antibodies which have the correctly shaped antigen binding area to bind to the pathogen. So, if the solution is that simple, why isn't there a vaccine for the Zika virus? Well, let's start off with the cost. To make a vaccine for Zika is a little bit expensive. And by little, I mean it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, to develop a vaccine would take many, many, many years of research. We're talking decades of research. And with our current understanding of the Zika virus, we have a long way to go. Okay, so is there an alternative? The answer is yes. DNA vaccination is one of the newer forms of vaccination which is making waves. But what is DNA vaccination and how does it work? Well, simply put, DNA vaccines use the virus's DNA to provide immunity. And while the process for this seems fairly simple, it's more complicated than you realize. First, the virus's DNA is scanned. And when the gene that codes for the surface antigen is found, it is taken out and injected into the plasmid of a bacteria. The plasmid is a circular DNA molecule which are separate from the chromosomal DNA. After the viral DNA is inserted into the plasmid, the bacteria multiply, thus mass producing the plasmids containing the DNA. Then, through a process called plasmid purification, the plasmids are then separated from the bacteria and are injected into your body. Once in your body, the plasmids are then absorbed by your cells and will eventually find itself in the cell nucleus. In the nucleus, the plasmid DNA is translated for creating proteins, which in this case are the virus surface antigens which are then presented on the surface of the cell, where they are then recognized by a T cell, which is a cell that plays a huge role in activating the body's immune response. DNA vaccines are superior in many ways to regular vaccines. For starters, they are much safer, they are produced at much cheaper costs, and they can also be mass produced, much easier. So now you're probably thinking why hasn't DNA vaccinations made headlines for frequently putting an end to many terrible diseases? Well, to start off with, while DNA vaccinations do cause an immune response, it's usually a weak immune response. Also, the viruses DNA vaccines are built to protect against have an outer layer called a capsid, which is made of protein. However, some pathogens have an outer layer consisting of only polysaccharides, which can pose a problem since DNA vaccines are only limited to being able to protect against pathogens with protein capsids. Therefore, if we ever used a DNA vaccine against a pathogen with a polysaccharide capsid, it wouldn't work. Oh, and did I also forget to mention that DNA vaccines can also cause some pretty serious side effects, like chronic inflammation and destruction of healthy tissue, that kind of stuff. So, if DNA vaccinations have so many problems and risks with using them, should we use them against the Zika virus? The answer is yes. First of all, the Zika virus contains a protein capsid, which makes the Zika virus fall on the range of viruses DNA vaccinations protect against. Also, DNA vaccinations have shown to be effective against the Zika virus. In fact, in one study involving mice which are vulnerable to the disease, DNA vaccinations proved to do a good job of helping the mice fight the Zika virus. So perhaps we can win this war against Zika. With constant new advancements in medicine, like DNA vaccinations, we are assured that perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've noticed lately that I've been putting out way too much space in physics videos and not enough biology videos, so I'm happy to announce there will be more biology videos coming soon. Talking primarily about the brain and diseases like the Zika virus, so stay tuned. And if you have a suggestion for a bio video, let me know in the comments below.

We'd love to have you. So let's jump into my week my weigh-in and the weight watchers workshop topic I hope you had an amazing amazing week I had a very good week a couple of housekeeping things before we jump into the video You are seeing this on friday I am filming this on wednesday because I actually head out tomorrow To california for a few days for a nutrition conference So i'm actually pre filming my weigh-in a little bit So it's only been about four or five days since I weighed in last But I still wanted to give you a weight update especially prior to going on a little vacation a little trip To see what happens next week once I return home So I will be gone for a few days on a little mini vacation Secondly there will not be a meal prep on monday because I am gone I actually don't arrive home until really late sunday night sunday is typically when I film my meal prep So that it can go up on monday morning for you. So there will not be a meal prep this week So I wanted to get the housekeeping things out of the way before we actually hop in to today's video So like I said, I actually had a really good week this week. I was on track with my food I actually shared in wednesdays what I've eaten a day that I do have quite a few trips coming up in the next Few months aside from the one I'm currently on. I'm actually going to hawaii the beginning of october I'm going to texas in november. I'm making a really fun trip to atlanta to see my girlfriend for her 50th birthday in february So I have quite a few trips and things coming up that kind of drives my motivation And I want to set little mini goals and things for those trips So I've been really focusing on getting in my protein and again that whole 80 20 approach to my diet 80 percent good whole healthy food and then 20 percent You know those fun foods foods that I love because i'm all about balance and eating the foods that I enjoy While losing and maintaining my weight loss So I've been really heavily focused on good food this week and again Reaching my protein goal and really making that a priority so that i'm full and satisfied And so that I can lean down and feel my best look my best when I go on all of these trips I also have been as always really into my activity in my fitness I actually played pickleball this last week and then I did a 5k with my boot camp group this last weekend And it was so much fun. It was in tuson. It was a huge event. It was a 5k 10k It was hot not gonna lie and it was hilly. It was definitely a challenging 5k, but it was so fun I'm so blessed to have such an amazing supportive Fitness group and friendship group that just aligns with who I am and my goals in my community I'm really truly blessed to have these girls and as always it was such a good experience and a great way to get in About 8,000 steps by 8 in the morning. I went to boot camp. I did all my regular activity And in fact the nutrition conference that I'm going to this weekend There's a zumba class one day and then there's an actual aerobic strength training kind of hit training class The other day because it's nutrition focus. They always focus also on fitness and exercise and moving your body So I'll be able to get in lots and lots of activity even while at this conference this last week really truly I was extra extra active extra extra sore I ended up taking my motivate recovery a couple of times because my body just gets sore when I push it to the limits But I like pushing it to the limits because that's how muscle grows and that's how we increase endurance and physical Activity but like I said after the 5k, especially my legs were tired My feet were tired and so I gave myself a beautiful foot massage when I got home from my 5k and actually gave myself A foot massage a couple of other days this week But this isn't an ordinary foot massage this I did right here in my office under my desk while I worked Using this contraption right here. Now you might be thinking that's interesting. That doesn't look like much But let me tell you how incredible this is. So this is the clavizo EMS foot massager Now I have quite a few things from the clavizo brand including their face facial cleanse cleanser brush Which I love so when I saw that they have this available I immediately thought of Troy because this foot massager immediately relieves chronic foot pain reduces muscle spasms and discomfort Eliminates numbness and tingling sensations and Troy does suffer from neuropathy So this is actually something recommended by his doctor. It improves blood circulation reduces swelling and inflammation You can get healthier legs in just about 15 minutes So utilizes low frequency electrical pulses which targets trigger points providing lasting relief by easing tension at its root It's great for plantar fasciitis neuropathy and inflammation Also an excellent option for high blood pressure because it reduces your legs swelling it boosts your circulation and stimulates your lymphatic drainage 96% of users actually had instant relief and there is a 30 day money back guarantee I love that it soothes cramps and enhances foot comfort after For recovery post workout. It reduces water retention cellulite and enhances your legs overall appearance It can even help improve your sleep quality by alleviating leg pain and calming your nerves Again fantastic for neuropathy, which is why we purchased it for Troy It's great for people who stand or sit for a long period of time if you have neuropathy Diabetics because it helps again promote better blood circulation And it's great for people suffering from venous insufficiency, which again is Troy Great for plantar fasciitis cramps osteoarthritis related pain and other foot and leg pain You simply connect the device to the floor mat. It snaps on Place both feet on the mat and you can ingest the intensity with the plus or minus and switch modes using the M Or the mode button you can enjoy a therapeutic massage at your convenience. Like I said, I love it under my desk You can use it 10 to 15 minutes a day about three to seven times per week There's eight different massage modes and 19 intensity levels depending on what you're looking for It's really affordable. The other ones we were looking at were well over 100 dollars And this one is currently on sale for 44 99 and any additional discounts will be linked down in the description box for you This little beauty right here has been a game changer for me and a game changer for Troy Like I said, his doctor recommended that he gets an electric muscle stimulator for his neuropathy for his legs for his feet I will tell you he's used this every single day since this arrived on our doorstep And I used this several times this week. Again, I love how portable it is. It can be used anywhere You can take it with you.  It's affordable and it is Exceptional, so I will have this linked down in the description box for you with a discount before we talk about my Way in if you remember last week, I actually had gained five pounds while my friends were here visiting And then I was able to take all of that off throughout the course of the week with the exception of one pound So I was actually up one pound at the end of last week So put a pin in that when we get to my way in but first let's talk about this week's weight watchers workshop topic And that is an easy way to re-energize your journey This is coming at a perfect time because I just mentioned how having trips and things planned motivates me and energizes me and re-energizes me For my journey helps me stick with my goals a little bit more And we're also entering the worst time of the year for weight loss october november december that is the Black hole of weight loss with all of the holiday events. So we want to keep our journey fresh and re-energize There's going to be bumps along the way Our journey is not going to be beautiful and perfect and fabulous and butterflies and sunshine all the time There's going to be bumps along the way There's going to be times where we're just not in it where we don't want to do it anymore Where we're frustrated and that is when we need to lean on these tips and tricks number one Think about three good things that happen to you today. Even the small stuff counts number two write down each and add details where when why or how they happen who you were with Even what you were wearing or doing and number three reflect on how you felt as you experience each and how you feel now Looking back life can be busy a weight loss journey can be really hard and really challenging And we naturally as human beings focus on the negative We don't focus on the positive things although we should just human nature. We naturally don't So by using these three steps to really think about what went right for you What did you do to do those things that went right and how can you implement that in the future allows you to not only reflect But also re-energize your passion for your weight loss journey and also think about your why Why are you on this weight loss journey or this health journey? Or why are you trying to become a healthier person overall? Keep that at the forefront of your mind because your why is what's going to drive you to reach your goals being grateful Pausing and reflecting on all the good things in our life Not only can help us mentally With our mindset with weight loss, but can really help us stay focused and energized and reach our goals Every day just think about one good thing that happened What was one good thing that you did? Maybe you drank all your water.  Maybe you stayed on track Maybe you only had one splurge instead of multiple splurges Think about the one thing that you did good every day and I promise you that's going to put you in a really positive mindset But will also help re-energize your drive for your success I want to share with you three fast facts from weight watchers Number one intentionally pausing to notice good things is one way to practice gratitude and the more we do it The more automatic it becomes number two practicing gratitude helps us focus on the big picture and increases overall happiness and number three gratitude also improves our ability to overcome challenges and cope With setbacks being grateful having gratitude is almost as important as tracking our food drinking our water moving our body It really helps with the mindset portion of our weight loss journey Which sometimes can have a bigger impact even then the foods that we're choosing So be grateful be proud be mindful be happy and remember one good thing that happened every single day And this will help you feel better look better and reach your goals. I really like this topic I always think that we need to refocus and re-energize. We're never 100 percent 100 percent of the time In fact, we're never going to be 100 percent 100 percent of the time So to focus on the things that drive us to re-energize and focus on our journey are really really important So now let's talk about my weigh-in Like I mentioned put a pin in the fact that I had gained five pounds lost it all and was up One Friday of last week, which was Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday four days ago Over the course of the last four days really focusing on protein really focusing on my 80-20 approach to whole real food Moving my body giving myself self-care with this amazing foot massager All of those things really helped re-energize me and get me refocused on my weight loss journey And I mentioned last week that I thought by the time the next way enrolled around that I would have that one pound gone and that is exactly what has happened in the course of four days I have lost that one pound I am now back to the weight that I was prior to having that little mini-staycation With my friends. So I maintained my weight so far this week now knowing that it's only Wednesday It's a high likelihood that I would have had a little bit of a loss potentially by Friday But at this point in my journey, I am so happy maintaining all of the weight gain From a vacation is gone. It isn't a weight gain. It's a weight fluctuation And I mentioned this all the time that we can't only live and die by the scale Because it's only one measurement of our progress and it's not always accurate Look at the fact that I gained five pounds and got rid of all of it in about a week and a half That is not a weight gain again. That is a weight fluctuation So I couldn't be happier with being right back to where I was and maintaining my weight losing that one pound That my weight was up last week So in my opinion the last four days have been a huge win.  I don't know what's going to happen with my weight We shall see at next week's weigh-in because my relationship with food is healed. I give myself food freedom I'm going to enjoy my vacation. I'm going to be mindful I am packing protein shakes so that I can have my protein coffee in the morning and fun fact spoiler alert I'm actually going to film my first day the day of travel to my destination And what happens when I get to my destination? What food I choose? How I navigate traveling and losing weight and staying on track So stay tuned because that special video will be out a little bit later this month kind of a what I eat in a day While traveling I get that question a lot how I navigate that and I'm going to share it with you During this trip I'm currently on so stay tuned for that video And now I want to hear from you guys. How was your week? Did you gain? Did you lose? What do you think of these tips and tricks to reignite re-energize your weight loss journey? And of course, let me know your tips and tricks that you do to help with mindset and to keep you motivated And if you enjoyed today's video, give it a big thumbs up Subscribe if you're not turn your bell on so you never miss a weigh-in every Friday or a future video Make sure you're in my facebook group and you follow me over on instagram because I'll be posting lots of pictures Of my little vacation so you can come along with me on my vacation and then stay tuned For that what I eat in a day while traveling you'll also find nutrition coaching links and discounts to my favorite healthy things And again, my facebook group is also linked down in the description box. Thank you for watching friends Happy friday happy weekend, and I will actually see you in tomorrow's massive massive grocery haul and I will have a video out on sunday There will just not be a meal prep on monday. Have a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you next time Bye


Cavalcade of America, starring Virginia Bruce in Boy Wanted, presented by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. With Virginia Bruce as Miss Ransom, here is Boy Wanted, time today. Place your hometown. Here's your change and here's your package. Thank you. Now then sir, can I help you? Hey, you sure can. I want a doll. Any particular kind of doll? Well, just give me the best. After years and years of wanting a youngster, my wife and I are finally going to have one. Congratulations. Is it going to be soon? Tomorrow at four o'clock. You mean they can tell you just to the minute these things come up? Don't misunderstand. We're adopting a child. Oh, I see. Now, we've had our name in with the adoption agency for months, but we just now got word they got one for us. Isn't that wonderful? A boy or a girl? A girl, naturally. Why would I be buying dolls? How old is the little girl? Well, I'm not sure. We told the agency that if it was possible, we wanted a little blue-eyed blonde girl, about three. Well, here's a doll any little girl would love. I'll take your word for it, Miss. Wrap it up. I hope it wasn't inconvenient for you to come down here today. Of course not, Miss Ransom. We were wondering when you'd have news for us. We've been waiting a long time for a little girl. Yes, I realize that. That's why I contacted you. Have you really got a child for us? Yes, Mrs. Mitchell. There's one available. Oh, isn't that wonderful, Ed? It sure is. How about it, Miss Ransom? Can we see her now? Well, there are a few things I have to explain first. You know our procedure here. We insist on giving you all information about a child, except its parents' identities. We tell you what they were like, but not who they were. Yes, you explained that when we first came here. The child we have available would be perfect for you, I think. There are only two things that disturbed me. Well... One is, the rating test isn't quite what it should have been. Oh, you mean the child isn't normal? Sometimes it does mean that, but not in this case. Here it means that the child, while intelligent, doesn't always cooperate. The nurse and I get on splendidly with him. A very loving child. But somehow the doctor has had difficulty in getting the cooperation he should have on the test. Well, sometimes tests don't prove a thing. What this child needs, I'm convinced, is a home where it's very much worth it. I think we can guarantee that, can't we, there? Oh, yes. Well, then perhaps you would like to meet him. Him? You mean it's a boy? Oh, Ed just had his heart set on a girl. Well, so have you, dear. Look at the doll Ed brought with him. Mr. Mitchell, if you were having your own baby, you wouldn't be so particular, would you? Well, that's true.  Well, I'm... Before Rudy came to us, he lived with his grandmother. His home was the worst kind of a tenement. They were desperately... I locked the door first. You got a key for this room, lady? Right here.  What? Look. Ah, the old lady went and left him, all right. Is she dead? Well, let's make sure. No, no, I'm not going to hurt your mother, kid. That's his grandmother. Where's the rest of the family? That's all there is. Well, hasn't the kid any parents? He's got a mother around someplace, but heaven knows where she is these days. She's no good. The old lady raised the boy. Where's his father? The old lady always said her daughter's husband was dead. The old lady said. It does happen. There ever was a husband. No other relatives? Only the mother. Don't you know any way to locate her? Nah. Well, if we do, then, we've got to find a place for the kid here to stay. What's your name, kid? Well, what's your name? Here. I guess I wouldn't feel much like talking, either. His name's Rudy Peterson. The old lady's name is Schwartz. I can tell you everything about her. I kind of figured you could. Come on, kid. Let's go. That same night, Rudy was brought here to us. Well, here's the children's agency, Rudy. Here's where you're going to stay for a while. I wish I could live in a swell place like this. Hey, Rudy?  Oh, yes. This is Rudy Peterson. Hello, Rudy. He's, uh, not much of a talker. Well, it's late even for such a big boy. How old are you, Rudy? Tell her, Rudy.  He's four. Uh, here's all the rest of the dope on this card, and this bundle's all the clothes he owns.  Now, there's no telling how long it'll take to find his mother. The word's gone out, but nobody can say when she'll show up. Well, Rudy can stay with us just as long as he likes. Ah, you hear that, Rudy? Ah, don't let it get you, kid.  Huh? All right, all right. Come on, Rudy. I think it's time for us to go to bed. I don't want to go to bed. I want to go home. I want my grandma. Well, you can talk, can't you? I want to. Then you can tell me what kind of a toy you'd like to take to bed with you. I don't want any toys. I want to go home. But this is your home now, Rudy. I don't stay here all night, baby. Yes, you are, Rudy. It's late even for big boys. Come on with me now. Come on. I don't like it here. We did everything we could to make Rudy like us and to make him happy here. But it was slow going. Our psychologist did his best to find out why. Now, Rudy, I want you to put this little puzzle together, hmm, and put it together right and make the picture of a dog, hmm? See how quickly you can do it now. How does it go on, Rudy? Try. Put the puzzle together for the doctor, Rudy. You've done harder once than this lots of times. He's very uncooperative. I don't understand that he can be as good as gold. Rudy, show the doctor how well you can do the puzzle. Please. Well, I can't give him any grade on that one. These tests are given to all our children, including the very youngest, and are one of the means we use for determining the child's fitness for adoption and the sort of home he should be placed in. Here are the results on the rating test for Rudy Peterson, Miss Ransom. Is it that low? He certainly doesn't look below normal in intelligence to me. According to the doctor, this test doesn't prove a thing. Rudy just wouldn't cooperate. Do you think he can learn too? Gotta do better than this if we ever intend placing him for adoption. He's a fine boy, Miss Ransom. All he needs is parents who'll understand him. I think you're right. It's a little soon to think about adoption anyway. We don't know yet what the mother wants to do. Who has they found her? She's waiting in the outer office now. Not that dark-haired girl I saw coming in. I presume it is. Oh, she's only a child herself. She looks about 16. According to the police report, she's 19. Ask her to come in, will you please? Yes, Miss Ransom. Will you go in, please? Me? Yes, you. Sit down, Mrs. Peterson. I'm Miss Ransom, head of the agency here. What do you want to see me for?  Well? What are your plans for Rudy, Mrs. Peterson? What do you mean? What are my plans for Rudy?  Me? Take the kid? I should say no. I never did want him, and I don't now. And nobody can make me take him either. According to the law, Mrs. Peterson, you are responsible for him. Oh, gee, I... But we're not so much interested in the strict legality of things as what's best for Rudy. How could I be any good for him? I can't even do for myself hardly. We might be able to arrange some financial assistance to help you take care of Rudy. And where would that leave me for boyfriend? What's Bella's gonna look at me if I got a four-year-old kid around my neck? No thanks, I won't take him. He's a lovely boy, Mrs. Peterson. The last picture Ma sent me, I could see he was getting to look like his father. Maybe if Pete was alive, I'd feel different. You may marry again. Of what other? Sometimes in cases like yours, we keep the child for the mother until she's married again. And have Rudy grow up like I did? No thanks. I've been working with children for a long time. And what a child needs more than anything else in his home life is to feel loved. Like I was, you mean? With Pa beating up on Ma and me and my brother that died every night, practically? Oh, yes, sir, I sure got a lot of love at home. One night when I was about 12, Pa... Well, never mind. I left the house and went to live with a girlfriend. I got a job in the dime store. I never put a foot in our place till Pa died. I was glad he died. And so was Ma. Your father sounds as if he'd been a very sick man. Everybody's sick when they've got trouble like ours. That's why I won't take the kid. I'd end up hating him. I know I would. No one's going to make you take Rudy. I think it might be better for him if we found him another home. Get him a nice place. Give the kid a break, huh? You understand what this would mean. You would have to sign papers giving up all claims to your son. No, would you ever know the person who adopted him? They, on the other hand, would be equally in the dark about your identity. What, Deb? Would I get something out of it? What do you mean? Well, if some rich family adopts my boy, they'd pay me something, wouldn't they? No, recognized adoption agency in the United States permits children to be paid for. I read all the time in the papers where some couple pays $2,000 for a baby. Somebody else pays a thousand. Yes, yes, I know. Unfortunately, there is the black market in babies. But it's foolish procedure for all parties concerned. I don't see why it's foolish to get money. I'll tell you why, Mrs. Peterson. We don't allow any child to go into a home until there has been an examination of the child's heredity. Oh, now look here. We are just as careful in our investigation of the family adopting the child. You will know that Rudy will be placed in a decent home with loving parents who live harmoniously and according to good standards and where there will be reasonable financial security. Furthermore, both child and adopting parents are on trial for one year before final adoption. And during this time, the agency protects the child's interests. I see.  Well, as long as it's best for Rudy. You don't have to decide right away, you know? We might as well get it over with. Don't you want to see Rudy first? Oh, what's the good? If he looks as much like Pete as he did in the picture, it just makes me feel bad. You might change your mind. No, not me. I don't love the kid as much as I should, I suppose, but I love him enough to know you could open the phone book and point, and you'd be sure and have somebody better for the kid than I am. Well, we'll have the papers drawn up then. I'll get in touch with you when they're ready. Miss Ransom, would you give this sixth sense to Rudy for a chocolate bar? Ma wrote once how he liked them. Of course I will, Mrs. Peterson. Goodbye. Bye. That's Rudy's story. The poor boy. Sounds like a spunky little tyke. I've seen enough children to know a good one when I see him, and I'll vouch for Rudy. There's one obstacle. Because he's had trouble, he's going to take more love and affection than most people have got to give. But I think you two have it, and that's why I picked you for Rudy. Because as much as we wish to make parents happy here, our main concern is always with the child. But Ed did want a girl. Well, just because we meet this Rudy doesn't mean we're going to adopt him, dear. After all, if Miss Ransom has taken all this trouble with us, will we owe it to her at least to say hello to the boy?  I just want a child. Shall I have him brought in? Please. Betty? Yes, Miss Ransom? Will you have Miss Fagan bring Rudy in, please? How much longer would we have to wait for a girl, Miss Ransom? There's no telling. I see. As long as we've waited this long, Ed, we can wait a while longer. Whatever you think, dear. Come in. Oh, Rudy, I want you to meet Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell.  Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Rudy. Hello. Hello, Rudy. Are you going to be my new grandma? Oh. Well, that's not the way to make an impression, Rudy. As you know, his grandmother raised him. And you know something? I would love to be Rudy's new grandmother. I would, Ed. I guess I shouldn't have said it without asking you. But he's the darlings' little boy I ever saw. He looks mighty fine to me. I guess boys are more fun anyway. Would you like to come and live with us, Rudy? I don't think I want to leave here. You'd love our house, Rudy. You'd have a playroom all your own. And there's a swing out back in the yard. Would I like a swing, Miss Ransom? I'm sure you'll like everything at your new home, Rudy. Well, we'll see. You are listening to Virginia Bruce as Miss Ransom in Boy Wanted, an original radio play on the Cavalcade of America presented by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. The right home for the right child. And Miss Ransom feels a good day's work is done. She felt that way a few months back when four-year-old Rudy Peterson was placed in the Mitchell home on a probationary basis. Rudy's case had troubled Miss Ransom, but she's confident he'll be happy with the Mitchell's and they with him. Well, Miss Fagin, how are all your charges? That Meadows baby brought him for Tygo in. Now they've all got it. They've got that darn purple ointment over everything. Clearing up, though, isn't it? Oh. Miss Ransom. Yes, Betty? Mrs. Mitchell was out here. Can you see her? Well, of course.  How are they and Rudy making out? The last report I had was fun. Hello, Miss Ransom. Hello, Mrs. Mitchell. You know Miss Fagin. Oh, yes. And how's my favorite, Rudy? Oh, he's fine. Well, you give him a hug for me. I will. I'm glad you're so happy with Rudy. Oh, Miss Ransom, something's terribly wrong. What do you mean, with Rudy? It's not Rudy. It's us. It's all our fault. Now don't get excited, Mrs. Mitchell. Just tell me what the trouble is. Well, for some reason, Rudy just can't get on with Ed. How does your husband feel about the boy? Oh, he just don't, son. And every time he comes home from the road, he brings toys for him, takes him to ball games. He's just crazy about him. And how does Rudy behave? He acts as if he were terrified of Ed. When he and I are home alone, he laughs and plays and runs all over the house. The minute Ed comes in, he goes up to his own room and shuts the door. Or if we make him stay with us, he just sits. He won't say a word. How long has this been going on? Ever since he's been with us. But I didn't want to tell you because I thought you'd take him away from us. We just love him so. I think I'd better pay you a visit. What days is your husband in town? Every weekend. He gets back tomorrow about 4 o'clock. Would it be convenient if I came out the end of the afternoon tomorrow? Of course. And I do hope you can find out what's wrong. It's just killing us, really. We both feel so inadequate as it's somehow we're letting the child down. Oh, I'm sure you aren't, Mrs. Mitchell. There's one thing we have to face. Children are like grown-ups. You can't make them like things. It's a fine train, Rudy. My new grandma got it for me, Rudy. Daddy bought that for you. I don't want to play with her. I think you have a lovely playroom, Rudy. I got a rocking horse. Look at Miss Ransom. Hi, old Silver. Hi, old Silver. You must be happy to be in such a nice house. I love my new grandma. We love you, too, Rudy. And what is it you were going to call me? Mother. That's better. Hi, old Silver. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, Rudy. Daddy, now, aren't you going to ride your horse any more, Rudy? I'm tired of playing. Hello, where's my boy? Tell Daddy where you are, Rudy. I'm up here. Wait until you see what I've got. Oh, look, Rudy. A puppy. Well, what do you say to your daddy for that, Rudy? I want a dog. Well, he wants you, son.  I don't want. Look, Rudy, you shouldn't hit the dog. I don't want. I don't want anything you give me. Now, Rudy. You're no good. You're no good. That's no way to talk to Daddy, Rudy. I won't like you if you do that. I don't care. He's no good. Why isn't he, Rudy? He's amazing. Here's our explanation for it. I should have seen it before, I guess. I knew he didn't like the doctor. And Miss Fagan told me he wouldn't talk to the policemen who brought him to the agency. But somehow, I never added it all up. You mean he hasn't anything against me personally? No, no.  Not so loud, dear. We don't want him to hear us. I wouldn't blame Rudy's grandmother too much, Mrs. Mitchell. Consider the life she'd had. No wonder her outlook was warped. Well, what can we do about him, Miss Rans? That depends how patient a man you are, Mr. Mitchell. There isn't a child in the world who can resist love for any length of time. And as soon as Rudy comes to realize how you feel about him, he'll change. It's a question of his finding out that he can trust you and depend on you. I'll try anything if you think it'll work. I hope it will. Daddy got it for you, Rudy. He isn't Daddy. He wants to be, Rudy. He loves you so much. Well, here comes Daddy's car in the drive now. Let's go meet him. I'm going out back with my puppy. All right, Rudy. Mr. Rans? Hello, Mrs. Mitchell. I was just about to ring your bell. He startled me. I thought it was my husband. I thought I'd stop by and see how things were working out. Oh, about the same, I guess. No better? Down deep, I think Rudy wants to love Ed, but he can't bring himself to trust him somehow. It takes a great deal of patience, my dear. I know. And I'm afraid Ed is about given up. Here he is now. Oh, hello, dear. Hello, Ed. Hello, Mrs. Rans. Hello, Mr. Mitchell. Where's Rudy? Out back with the puppy. Still ducking me, huh? No, Ed. Of course he isn't. Oh, white kid me, Helen. I'm not getting any place for the boy, and you know it. I guess Ms. Ransom does too. I'm sure he wants to love you, Ed. I'm doing all I can, dear. I thought getting him the puppy would do the trick. Now I'm just wondering if anything will ever work. Something's got to. I'm beginning to think we might as well call it quits. This isn't fair to the kid. Oh, Ed. Are you sure you don't want to try a little longer, Mrs. Mitchell? What's the use, Mrs. Ransom? Help, help, help! Come here. The evil run away. We'll find him for you. That's the big dog, my baby. Where are they, son? In the backyard. You just wait here with Mother Rudy. I'll fix this. Oh, don't go out there, Ed. That dog's vicious. I'll be all right. Oh, Ed, please be careful. Let that puppy alone. Get out of here. Get out, Darry. Get out. I don't want to bust this ball club on you, but I sure will. If you don't get moving, out!   I'm sorry. I mean business. Get out of here now. Rudy! Get somebody there. Rudy! Oh, there, puppy. Take it easy, puppy. Look up back here, Rudy. It's all right. The dog's gone. Did he bite? Did he bite? Well, there isn't a mark on the pup, Rudy. He's just scared, I guess. No, I think we'd better get Mr. Mitchell to a doctor, then. He seems to be blood on his head. Are you hurt, Ed? No, no, no. I'm all right. There's nothing to be upset about, Rudy. The big dog's gone. But he bit you. Well, it takes more than an old dog to hurt your daddy, Rudy. Just a scratch. Yes. What, son? He was a puppy. You gave me daddy. Did everything go all right, Ms. Rancid? Yes. From now on, Rudy Peterson is Rudy Mitchell.  With our many adoption services, we realize that this is wealth our work of greatest importance. It leads to well-balanced American homes. And happy homes lead to the prosperity and welfare of our people and our country. Tonight's Cavalcade play, Boy Wanted, was written by Frank Gabrielson.

Next week, Cavalcade will present one of our most distinguished Americans, Irene Dunn. Whose career as a top-ranking film star and citizen has won her admiration and respect in Hollywood and honors in the world at large. Our broadcast will come to you from Buffalo, New York. On this occasion, Ms. Dunn will portray the character of Mama, of which she made famous in the motion picture success. Our original radio play, Citizen Mama, tells the further adventures of Mama and the Hansen family. Cavalcade of America is directed by John Zoller and comes to you each week from the stage of the Longacre Theatre on Broadway in New York and is presented by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.


If I could describe this series in three words, it would be lush, awkward, and full of custard pies. Mental, horny, and shocking.  Fiery, a little bit naughty, and dramatic.  The most explosive moment this series is definitely between an ex and an ex and an ex. A guy in the villa is ex who he was rekindling with, goes on a date with her ex. Nobody expects them to get together. Then when she comes back, he finds out they've got together and he goes off the rail. And it calls a whole villa argument. Drinks being thrown, chairs being thrown, people just kicking off left, right, and centre.  The most dramatic ex arrival for me would be one of the lads, because he comes in to a serious relationship of seven years and literally fucks things right up. Someone went down to the beach to meet their ex, but actually ended up getting sent home. It was brutal.  Funniest moment of this series is when two people were dressed as each other and having a full, blown row. I mean, he was dressed as a woman. She was dressed as a man. How did they even take themselves seriously?  That was hilarious. One of the guys entered the villa, thinking he was lurch and acting the big in, and he literally got shut down within seconds by all us girls. What a swat.  People dancing, people twerking, champagne going everywhere. The girls are getting sticky, greasy, boobs arsed, tits everywhere. It was in fame. When there's a group of us all doing body shots, licking tequila off certain parts of our bodies, kind of turn into a little porno. Two couples were having sex next to each other, and they high-fived during sex. Definitely this couple who are bonking night time, daytime, all the time, is a couple in here getting hot and sweaty in that shower. Ooh, steamy.

Now let's take a look at how we go from traditional spellings into the phonemic spellings. The first step in this process is identifying each unit of sound or each phoneme within a word. Let's look at bet, bit, but, and bought. The only difference in each one of these words is in the vowel sound. We have but, eh, and bought, but, ah. Each word simply uses three sounds. Now we have photo, oh, that's four phonemes. Now we have taxi, ah, e, that's five phonemes. We have unite, with a hidden phoneme in there being the y sound before anything else. Ooh, mm, aye, tch. Those are five phonemes as well. And now we have a longer word, chemistry. Let's give that a shot, mm, eh, e, that's eight phonemes used in the word chemistry. Now once we've isolated each sound, we want to assign a phoneme for each one of those sounds. Let's do that now.


What's going on everybody? Got Kyle and Sean here relating sports cars from one box of 2023 leaf art of sports solo This one is for Chiakai out Good luck. Good luck.

That would be great. Clicking in my browser, and it looks like we are streaming. So it is the top of the hour, so I will get started. So everybody can take a look at the Google Doc. So the first question is, why are we doing this on Google Hangouts? I don't know the exact reason, but PeopleOps has asked us to use Google Hangouts and YouTube instead of Zoom for the retrospective and the kickoff every month. So if there's any further questions or why we're doing this, please direct it to that Slack channel or create an issue. I think that's the best place to mediate that. I believe that there were some problems with streaming, but I can't be totally certain. So I don't want to misspeak. But please go ahead and direct your questions and comments there. Sean has posted a link to this retrospective for the plan team, so he's encouraging other folks to do the same. And I believe that there is a handbook process that all teams should be doing that anyways. So if nothing else in terms of housekeeping, I will turn it over to Alicio. Thanks, Victor. So previous retrospective improvement task, we had a problem with the server Geat 0.3, which was breaking all the production deployment last month. Hamhad found out that there was Azure extension called Linux diagnostic that was constantly installing this broken package. But yeah, now we move to GCP, so this is no longer a problem, but it was fixed even before moving to GCP. So next point is Robert. Thanks, Alicio. Not too much to update here as work on this kind of got sidetracked during the summit. We're still working towards adding feature flags for pretty much all new features as the plan. Eventually, we're going to start with the batch commenting feature as a testbed, which is now scheduled for 10.4. York has begun documenting kind of the process and the need for these feature flags and merged the link to there. And I think that's all we've got for now. Tim, I expect you want to be out of time. Sure. So that question regarding the problem with the scheduling has been addressed. Thank you for whoever linked to that Slack conversation. And Stan, you're up next. Stan, are you on the call? If not, does James Lopez want to jump in? Or we might need to loop back around. So Aziz, why don't you go ahead and then we'll if Stan comes back, we can. Yeah, sure. So this is what we're going to call this month. But for the last year, I guess, we've been working towards using no more NFS for Git access. And today, we unmounted most NFS drives, which is usually used for milestone, at least for the Git elite team. But I would say for the whole Git lab, as one NFS drive used to be able to take the whole Git lab down, and I want everyone to be aware, this will also impact our customers from the next release forward, they could do the same. Because we removed the last feature flags, making it available for the whole community. I don't see Stan yet in the participants. So Eric, I'd like to end it up to you. Thanks, CJ. And that's a huge milestone. No more NFS is great. So my item was just to kind of celebrate that we took a learning from the CRETE Summit in 2017 and applied it to this 2018 summit. We did some pre-release capacity planning to take into account the lower bandwidth that all teams would have. This happened, I believe, back in July, and that seemed to have a positive impact. There were less fire drills, and there was less to sort of try it off because it wasn't fully packed to release to begin with. And now we want to make sure we do this going forward for future summits or future events where we might have dramatically less capacity than normally. So on to what went wrong. Bob is not on the call. James, if you're there, maybe you want to speak to this. I think James also dropped out of the call. So I can speak about this a bit. So yes, we had a security patch that we couldn't release in all of the RCs. So we had to keep doing post-deploy patches, which was not ideal. So some questions there. Should we have takeoff apply post-deployment patches? Actually, we probably should want to consider how we can change our processes to not have to do any sort of post-deployment patches because that has been proven to be problematic. But we are moving towards more of deploying with chat So we'll see how that will go further. Stan is up next if he joined. And he didn't. On the live stream, I think Hangouts ran out of seats. All right. I don't know, I can read at least. So we had priority one regression for 11.2 for LDAP users. And I'm just looking at what the annoying regression was. Incorrect commit count per push and push events. So I guess we need to do something about that. Eric, you're up next. Thanks. This was a really minor thing. But we didn't bump the version number. So production read RC. I think it was 10 or 11 for about a week. So bookkeeping was something that we want to make sure we do well. There was a proposal to hot patch it, but we did make the call to just manage risk that we weren't going to do another deploy with people getting on airplanes just for a version number. I think that was the right call, but something minor that we should be able to take into account next time. And then I didn't know back to Stan. Yeah, I added that. Let's see if Stan's here. Stan, I can see you. Can you speak? I think I can hear you. Yes. Yeah, can you hear me OK? Yes, we can hear you. Yes, Stan. Yeah, where do we start? I mean, I get to go back to the, I'll just start with what went wrong. Yeah, I think the two main things of the LDAP one was annoying people were not able to clone with LDAP enabled because it was a regression in there. And everybody was on a plane, I think, at that time. And then the second one was just a bug that was around for two weeks. And then we had, I think, Mark Fletcher triage, like 10 other issues that people said, hey, this is a problem, and basically closed all these other issues, but nobody was able to fix it in time. So again, this happened, I think, that the second problem happened two weeks before in an RC. And I don't think anybody hadn't got around to fixing it. But I mean, part of it lends itself to the capacity that we released on the 22nd. And then we had nobody early around before that to fix important issues. So that's all I wanted to bring up. But what went well, I want to go talk about that. GCP migration, I think, generally went well. I think we rehearsed over and over and found a lot of issues. And in the end, it went smoothly. There were a bunch of things that didn't get migrated over after the geo migration, but we were addressing those in 11.3. So for example, the default branch for repositories, we had about 200,000 repositories that didn't have, if somebody changed the default branch from one thing to another, it wasn't replicated. But we went back and just resinked them. So I think that has solved. And we're pushing out a fix in 11.3 to handle that. How can we improve, ZJ? Yeah, somewhat obvious, I guess. But just to mention it, not everyone that wants to talk joined the call or some dropped out and couldn't rejoin because we hit the limits of 50 participants, apparently. Well, I'm not sure if we can either pay Google to have more participants, or if we refer it back to Zoom, or what the reasons were to use Hangouts. But it's something we should investigate. Yeah, Victor, is this something you'd be able to work out with people ops? I mean, we tried this experiment. It seems like the live stream is presumably working, but we're not able to collaborate effectively. So maybe you could work out with them defaulting, going back to Zoom, or maybe raising the limits in Hangouts. OK, we'll take this action right now. And if nothing else, I'll end the call. Anything else from any folks? All right, see you folks in the kickoff, I guess. Bye now.


Hello everybody! In this video, I'll show you how to display and change file extensions in Windows 7, 8 and 10. Dear friends, if you need to recover deleted data, use utilities by Hetman Software. Follow the link in the description to visit our website, download a utility for free and install it, then start disk analysis. When the process is over, it will show the files available for recovery, and you will be able to bring them back. Our blog features quick guides to solve all kinds of problems faced by Windows users. Our channeling blog offers solutions for any issues from installing the operating system to remote administration and connecting mobile devices. Our specialists will be glad to answer your questions in comments to videos and articles. By default, Windows doesn't show file extensions. It is not always convenient, as sometimes you need to change the extension or just see it. Files with different extensions may have similarly-looking icons, and what is more, there are viruses, the spreading of which depends on whether file extensions are displayed or not. Follow the link to our channel in the description to watch a video on how to delete a Trojan virus, a Kiloge virus or any other kind of virus or malware from your computer. To display file extensions in Windows 7, go to Control Panel, Folder Options, View. Find the item Hide Extensions for Known File Types, and uncheck the box next to it. Apply. Okay, and after that, all file extensions will be displayed in your computer. This method also works in Windows 8 and 10, but in Control Panel you should choose File Explorer Options instead of Folder Options. In Windows 8 and 10, you can open File Explorer Options menu from the File Manager as well. To do it, open any folder, select File, Change Folder and Search Locations, then uncheck the box next to the item we have already mentioned. Or select View, Options, Change Folder and Search Options, and go on as before. In Windows 8 and 10, there is an easier way to choose to display or hide file extensions without using Folder Options menu. To do it, open any folder, go to the tab View, Choose, Show, Hide, and check the box next to the item File Name Extensions. When I check or uncheck the box, you can see file extensions appear and disappear. It's easy. Now there is no problem to display extensions, yet sometimes you need to change file extensions. How can you do that? If you are talking about changing extension of a file with both extensions – the current one and the one you want the file to have – created by one in the same application, this operation can be done with such application. In plain English, it means save it with another extension. For example, there is a .docx file and we need to change it extension into .rtf. Microsoft Word supports both file extensions. To change the extension, open the file with Microsoft Word, choose File, Save as, Browse. In the menu Save as type, you can choose the extension to save the file. Find .rtf on the list, Save. As you can see, now there is the same file but with a different extension. To change the extension manually, or if your computer doesn't have the application to read or save the file, right-click on the file you need and select Rename. Or select the file you need and press the key F2. After that, delete the unnecessary extension manually and add the extension you want. After you press Enter, the system will warn you that after changing extension the file may become inaccessible. Confirm your decision to change extension. And even if the file cannot be read, after your actions, you can change it its extension back in the same way. If for some reason you need to change extensions for several files of certain format in one folder at the same time, you can do it with the help of Command Prompt. Find the link to the video about Command Prompt in the description. To do it, go to the folder containing the files, the extensions of which you need to change. Type cmd in the address bar and press Enter. Type in the Command Prompt Ren .xtxt if you want to change .x files into txt files. As you can see, extensions of all .x files have now become txt files. That is all for now. If you liked this video, click the like button below and subscribe to our channel to see more. Thank you for watching and good luck.


this is one of my favorite times of the NFL year because you start to hear all these stories about how this player and that player and that player are all linked to the Ravens that the Ravens are gonna consider signing them that the Ravens might be interested in signing this and that player all to just get to free agency and you see a lot of those links the players that the Ravens are linked to those links become broken but anyway another story that has been going around for about a week or so has been linking Saquon Barkley to the Baltimore Ravens Bleacher Report they talked about it of course baltimoreravens.com and their late for work article today they spoke about it as well and Saquon Barkley to the Ravens that be obviously be a nice pickup if he's healthy but i'm gonna give you a few reasons why it just does not make sense now y'all know me i'm all with the the fantasy gm the madden trades the signing this guy that guy in the third and i still feel like hey the cap is cap or we didn't forget baby and for any team if you really want somebody there are so many ways to make it happen but anyway we could talk about that another day but with Saquon Barkley specifically i'm gonna let you know why it just does not make sense for the Ravens first we're going to talk about money let's get that out of the way because that's that's actually the least reason for me uh that's that's the least reason of importance on this list uh with money he is it's the fifth year option time and that fifth year option is all guaranteed so for the Ravens you think they want to pick up a fifth year option for Saquon Barkley and they got a jk and they got a gust you think they want to pick up a fifth year option for Saquon no of course not but then speaking of money and speaking of capital how would you acquire one Saquon Barkley and after giants cut them and they sniffed around like okay cool shout out to the Ravens being like the rock you smell what the Ravens are cooking well we would see but if the giants were just trying to trade him oh no because i would think that if they were trying to come up come up off of Saquon Barkley then they would want at least a first or a second second at the least i don't think a third or anything after that that the giants would even be listening um so the Ravens in order to acquire one Saquon Barkley if if he's gonna remain on the contract that he's on with the giants then you would have to give up some significant draft capital so basically that's a no no for the Ravens because they they want all the draft capital they don't want to give it up they want to keep it uh but with Saquon Barkley if he was cut he would have a lot of suitors in Ravens could be one of those suitors but you know that it would be so easy for another team to outbid them but so okay we talked about the money part in the capital part that's out the window like i said that part is the the least important on my list of concerns why this move just does not make sense for the Ravens so this reason is important to me you have JK Dobbins you have Gus Edwards both of those running backs are coming off of significant season ending injuries if you were to add a Saquon Barkley to the mix he'd be nice and like my guy Yuri brought out a really good point Saquon Barkley has never had an offensive line like he could possibly have with the Ravens he's never been in a running game like he would have with the Ravens think about that like you obviously got Lamar Jackson who's a threat on any single play and then you add a Saquon Barkley next to him that would be beautiful but with Saquon Barkley just like our other two running backs or actually other three running backs with Justice Hill too he's coming off of a season ending significant injury so what i mean when i say that is that you have these guys who are expected to be back are expected to come back but you don't know how they're going to be when they get back and of course you want them and expect them and hope that they are even better than they were before you hope that their bodies are even stronger than they were before but you just don't know if they're going to be how they were before it wouldn't make sense for the Baltimore Ravens to add a high-priced running back to the mix who's in the same situation as the running backs that they already have in the mix it just it wouldn't be smart business we know Saquon Barkley is an amazing player we know everything that he's capable of but he was even injured last year and then came back last year and then got hurt again so you just you it would not be worth it to even run that risk in my opinion only because that risk has so much financial it's just so much financial risk in it and it just wouldn't be worth it now um the biggest reason in my opinion that Saquon Barkley it just would not be a good move if the Ravens did that um for Ravens we know that the Ravens they know how to run the ball we know these guys are capable of running the ball uh they run it with JK with Gus with Lamar uh with Devonte Freeman he was even looking better toward the end of the year Latavius Murray uh not Tyson Williams unfortunately but that's a whole other story but we know that they love and they know how to run that football they certainly do but our concern as Ravens fans and for Ravens front office should be and still is how much more can they advance in the passing game now throughout the beginning of the last season we saw a lot of advancements we saw so many we we saw this team moving forward through the air and we were like okay let's get it it did come with some growing pains here and there and they still got stuff to work on but we did see significant progress for the Baltimore Ravens in the passing game and that's something that we have been asking for for a while and we were starting to get it but if you add a Saquon Barclay to a JK Dobbins and to a Gus Edwards they're not going to just be like alright Saquon you get two carries alright JK you get three alright Gus you get four no they they are really going to force feed Saquon Barclay they they're going to because they would have acquired him and have given up a significant amount of salary cap or draft capital whatever to get him so he ain't going to just be sitting on a sideline but then again you still got your other two running backs too and if you remember if i take you back to 2020 if i take you back to the 2020 season the beginning of it well we had a Mark Engel had a Gus Edwards we had a JK Dobbins i remember me personally and i'm sure a lot of y'all went through the same thing too we'd be watching the games alright Gus doing this thing alright Gus let's go okay Gus Edwards yeah he breaking tackles running over people okay yeah keep feeding Gus Gus the Buzz then you see Mark Engel come on the field it's like hold up now we love Mark Engel we do but why did they take Gus Edwards off the field why did they take the hot hand off the field now we found out in the long time that that was probably a business move by the Ravens with Gus Edwards so they could keep him for cheap but we could talk about that another time but with JK Dobbins this rookie rookie running back it's like alright oh JK oh man this dude got a 20 y'all run oh 15 y'all run whoa look at how he kept his balance who if that ain't Ray Rice i don't know who it is let's go JK and then Ravens be like no JK get off the field let's bring on Mark Engel and this is not to take a shot at Mark Engel so don't take it like that but my point is that since the Ravens did have three capable running backs even though the other two were hot they still had one that they were paying the most money to and they continued to force feed him out there when he really shouldn't have been JK had been hot they took him off from Mark Ingram Gus had been hot they took him off from Mark Ingram if Saquon is in on the Ravens he is going to be on that field a lot and not that him being on the field is a bad thing but they would try to feed everybody and try to keep everybody happy since you have so many mouths to feed at running back and you know they're running team so i feel like that could have a negative impact on the passing game i really do now if this was flipped in my opinion because you know Saquon Barkley is that dude at running back he's not just another guy if this was flipped though and it was a wide receiver and the Ravens would get that guy at wide receiver oh i would love it i would love if they did that because you have two first round picks right now you got Hollywood and Rashad Bateman but if you get somebody who is that guy at wide receiver and this is not a shot at Devin Duvenay or James Proshay or Tyler Wallace at Miles Boykin it's not a shot at them but the Ravens they're not invested in those guys like that and you know it you know they're not since all of those guys were third round picks or later they're not invested in them like that but with Rashad and Hollywood they invested in them so they are going to get their opportunities but now if the Ravens were in this predicament and there was somebody who is that guy at wide receiver and was really like that at wide receiver oh yeah Ravens linked to them oh yeah yeah bring them on for sure hold let's get it because that would be something to advance the Ravens passing game and that's been the Ravens biggest issue for the longest the passing game we know with the running back we feel like all right JK is healthy Gus is healthy for offensive line is straight that's the first and foremost thing for offensive line is good even decent all right running game gonna be straight but especially if we get them boys back healthy and then whoever else they add to the mix whether they keep Devonte Freeman they draft somebody they actually decided to use Tyson Williams whatever they ended up doing we know the running game is gonna be straight but again biggest concern for me is the passing game that's what it is it's the passing game and if if you can spoil Lamar Jackson with riches in the passing game first offensive line obviously got to be right but to have Hollywood and Rashad Bateman and Mark Andrews and then you get somebody else to the mix like that's that dude again somebody that they would really be invested in like that I would be all for it but that's not who this link is about this link is about Saquon Barkley and them adding the running back to the mix so no this is uh it's one of those things that doesn't need to happen it's probably not gonna happen like 9.99999999 times out of 10 this move is not gonna go down but it's always fun to talk about right it is so we'll see uh when is free agency start I think like on March 18 something like that I got to look up the exact date to see but it's coming up February going by fast man this month flew by like crazy um question from subscribers we got a lot we are so backed up on question from subscribers so if you haven't seen your question please be patient please please it takes time it's just like it really does takes time please be patient we have a so many emails and we keep getting more it takes a lot of time so please bear with me please but anyway I love y'all I appreciate y'all I love Saquon Barkley too and I I wouldn't mind to be on but again it's just it's it's a lot deeper than just oh yeah he's nice running back he'd be nice behind this Ravens offensive line and on this off it's a lot deeper than that for me like I said especially when it comes to the passing game so anyway appreciate y'all y'all stay up hope everything is going good for y'all uh and like Saquon Barkley might be when it comes to being with the giant sooner or later I'm out


Hi, welcome back everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We are in Phoenix, Arizona at the Girls in Tech Catalyst Conference. It's the fourth year they've had the conference. We're really excited to be here. It's our first time to visit, but we wanted to come down and check it out. About 400 people. They'll be back in the Bay Area next year with about 600 people. A three-day show and really doing good work. So we're excited for our next guest, Meg Withcott, the co-founder and CTO of Panifold. Welcome. Thanks. Glad to be here. Absolutely. So you mentioned before we got started, this was your first time at the Catalyst Conference. What are your impressions? Yes, I've heard about it, but I always felt I was too busy, but I spoke and I'm so glad, you know, to attend, to know about it. Next year I'll be in San Francisco. That's right. So my backyard. So your speech was on women on the, see if I get this right, 122nd Meridian West to the 58th Meridian. So first off, where are those Meridians? So that forms a great circle around the globe. It goes through Silicon Valley. First, I was going to talk about women in Silicon Valley, but then someone said, well, why don't you branch out? And I said, well, how they're, you know, how to narrow it down. Right.  Right. And then you said you had this project where you went and interviewed people and asked them what advice would you give your younger self? What a fantastic idea. So how did that work out? Where did you go? How many people did you interview? It worked out really well. I talked with around 20 and a dozen or so are there in the tape. I didn't know what would happen, you know, if it would be all over the map, so to speak. Right. But there are seven themes that emerged, you know, how to find joy when you're doing something hard. And the theme that really emerged was being open, being open to opening your heart, being open to life's friction. People went really deep. It was kind of surprising. And on these seven themes, so there was joy, there was being open, or some of the other ones. Challenge, conflict. It wasn't surprising, but kind of sad stereotyping. And openness was the biggest theme, though. People literally used that word open time and again. And I edited all the footage and so it just stuck out. Right. It was interesting. And was it advice to be more open to get the other things like joy and success? I mean, is that kind of a foundational kind of point of view, if you will, or kind of way of looking at the world that enables some of these other things? It was. And to being open to listening to your colleagues and to viewing them not as kind of a finished product and categorizing them, but as someone who's learning. Right. So each person I interviewed had a slightly different perspective on what it means to be open, but they all went there. They all went there. And what was the biggest surprise that came out of that process, besides the obvious one? You know, it was being introduced to amazing people through strangers on LinkedIn. Because I know tons of people in California, but in Iran, Yemen and Madagascar. Madagascar was the big surprise. Getting to be in touch with people from famous music groups there. So I've never been to Madagascar. I want to go now. Did you go? You didn't go do the interview there? No, no. I mean, I should have. No, the footage was really gritty. It was over Skype. But that's how it was. So it's interesting. You've mentioned a couple of times you're from California. You know a lot of people in California. You were thinking about starting on California, but then people said, you know, why don't you take it to a broader sphere? So with that context, we're from the Bay Area. We've got to Boston, Boston too, but we're in the Bay Area. And there's kind of a Silicon Valley centric kind of point of view that people can get wrapped up into. So did you see any big distinguishing differences between kind of what you expect or what you know kind of in California versus some of these international things, or were there really not that much differences after all? Not really.  Interesting. I want to shift gears a little bit and talk about academics. So you've been visiting fellow at Stanford. I've got it all written down a whole bunch of things, Harvard, all these great schools, Barnard College. So you've got an academic kind of point of view. I'm curious to get your take on how women's issues and specifically women's issues in technology are changing or being, you know, kind of grabbed onto by some of these academic institutions to try to implement some change. Yeah, that's a really interesting topic. Was it, for instance, the president of Barnard College is looking forward in an interesting way. As I'm sure you know, it's a well-known liberal arts college in New York associated with Columbia University. They don't have a computer science major, but so they're going to work on that. Because some of the faculty, I think, probably thought that why do you need computer science? You know, we're teaching something. Still today. Still today. And so, you know, where we live, we think what? We scratch our heads. And at Stanford, for instance, it's a really popular major. So it was a surprise to me to hear that people thought that way. But at Sweetbriar, Barnard, a lot of these other colleges, they're now starting to see, well, yeah, it is, it is an academic study. It's not like, you know, repairing motors. Right, right. Well, it's even a language, right? Because I would even say in high school, when will CS be right there next to biology, chemistry, and physics on just kind of your standard track? And there's evidence that if you study, I have a linguistics background, as it turns out, if you study multiple languages, you'll do better at learning computer science early on, too. And so we think of it as something, if you're good at math, you'll be good at CS. Well, actually, if you're good at language, you have an advantage as well. Right. Yeah, because it's basically a language, right? It's basically writing. There's lots of ways you can solve the same problem. And it's really creative writing exercise as much as you can. Well, and logic. Right. And language, if you look at it, is logic plus emotion. And then what about at the high school level? Are you seeing anything at the high school level that's being done? It's tough for high school teachers, right? They're in a, especially public school tough. A lot of things being thrown at them. What are they doing? How can they better equip their kids and girls specifically? Yeah, that's a really good question. What I see, I mean, there are some great programs, robotics in particular. It seems like kids gravitate to that. But you know, I'm working more closely with college students. For instance, Cal State Monterey Bay, they started CS department. And so, you know, first generation kids whose families have never been to college are taking computer science. And within three years, they're ready to go in the workforce. And it's a revelation to their parents. It's really inspiring. Yeah, that's great. Because there's certainly a shortage of the skills. So there's huge opportunities. Yeah. All right. So we're running low on time. I want to give you the last word kind of what are you working on for the next six months? Are you going to continue to, to work on your advice project? You got another project in the wings. What are you working on? Panifold is what's near and dear to me. And so, it connects to the talk I gave, though, because it's all about a learning journey. So what the women had in common, along with being open, was they could step back and see their careers as a learning journey. And that gave them a lot of strength. So at Panifold, we're enabling people to share their experience with the web as a learning journey. So mostly it's for people who need to educate their clients. Okay. And so we're giving them tools for that. All right. We'll check that out. That's at panifold.com. Yes. All right. Super. Well, Meg, thanks for taking a few minutes and stopping by. Nice meeting you. Absolutely. So I'm Jeff Frick. We are at the Women, excuse me, Girls in Tech, a Catalyst Conference of Phoenix, Arizona. You're watching theCUBE. Thanks for watching.


Welcome back to the AI for Good Global Summit here in Geneva on day two. Now, Microsoft has a big presence here, and I'm now joined by Jennifer Marsman, and you are the principal software engineer. So, with that in mind, what's your initiative you're bringing to this AI for Good talk here? Well, I'm here in the context of AI for Earth. And AI for Earth is a grant program that was announced in December of 2017 by Brad Smith, Microsoft's president, where Microsoft publicly committed $50 million U.S. over a five-year time period to anyone doing data science or machine learning work in the areas of agriculture, water, climate change, or biodiversity. And this is a great conference for us because obviously the sustainability development goals align very strongly to the things that we care about, and we believe that artificial intelligence can make a real impact in these areas. Tell me how, because we've been hearing this for a while now. Absolutely. So there's a lot of different ways you can make an impact. One example is in the field of agriculture. So we're using precision agriculture and machine learning to basically be able to take data from sensors in a field, and couple that with aerial imagery from drones flying overhead, and with that be able to create machine learning maps of the impact on a forest. So moisture levels, for example, you can use things like visual similarity for, you know, two patches maybe darker in different areas because they've both been freshly watered, and you can use that to extrapolate and figure out that they're both freshly watered. And things that are similar in space will also be similar. There's examples in the field of agriculture. There's examples in the field of conservation. We've seen grant recipients working on poaching of elephants and being able to detect in real time the presence of poachers and work to help prevent that. We've seen another grant recipient, WildMe, who is working on recognizing individual animals within a species. So being able to take, not only realize, you know, zebra, not a zebra, but rather this is a specific zebra 5709, and then with that be able to roughly estimate population densities, track migration patterns, things like that. Microsoft is a for-profit company, of course. So why are you doing this part? Well, I believe that AI can really make an impact in terms of how we can solve these big challenges. And I think everyone helps where they can. And in Microsoft's case, the things that we can bring to the table are access to a cloud. So we have this amazing cloud, Microsoft Azure, which we can give people access to. And a lot of times, the people who are working to solve these problems, non-profits and startups and such, are the people that don't have the funding necessarily to do that. So we don't want anyone to not be able to be effective due to lack of funding. So we're providing access to the cloud. We're providing expertise in education in the field of AI, which we've had decades of experience in. And then the other thing is that I think it does help us as a for-profit business. For AI, for Earth especially, we're dealing with planetary-scale data. When you think about some of these things where we're using satellite imagery, so that's great for our cloud, right? Because we're running these things on Azure. So if it works, fabulous, we're making an impact in a very tangible way. If it doesn't work, great. We know where Azure is falling short on planetary-scale data, and we can fix it and make it better. So by the end of this conference, at the end of this week, what would you like to come away with in terms of AI? Well, there's a number of things I'd like to accomplish at this conference. First of all, I do want to spread awareness of the AI for Earth grant program to all of the amazing people that are here. I've already had so many great conversations with the folks here. And I think the very worst thing is when a pot of money goes on spent, right? So awareness that the AI for Earth grant program exists, along with its sister initiatives, AI for accessibility, and AI for humanitarian action. Together, these three programs comprise the AI for good program. And then I'm also looking for, you know, what are some cool machine learning problems that we can help solve? I personally have a passion for machine learning, so if we can find interesting problems to solve and help brainstorm sessions with folks to help how we can best make an impact with AI, that is worthwhile for me. Okay. Well, that was Jennifer Mosman from Microsoft. Thanks very much for your time. Thank you, Chris.
