Carcass like that. Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique house. This is your boy, ECO. And I'm here with the lovely, amazing official, Miss Jamaica. What's going on? None, none of you know my dad, what's going on? Man, we got a young lady in here today, y'all.  She is hard. She be dancing on TikTok. What else? She does great music. What else? She drop freestyles whenever you ask her to. What else? Boom, bam, boom. La, la, la, la.  She smooth. She cannot dress anybody. Quit playing. Yeah, man, unique music is in the building. Hey, let them know what's going on. This big, unique music in the building. Big C4S. Y'all already know what time it is. C4S is in the building one more time. She's a great mom. Say listen, man. Dope as hell. Mama, all that good stuff, man. Check it, man. Hey, man. Say it, man. How you been? I've been good. I'm blessed. One day I talked to y'all. We was out eating. We was in LA. We was right there by what Beverly Hills or somewhere. And I called them on the... On FaceTime. FaceTime. I was bored. I think we was waiting on somebody. On our food. Who was going to Dame Dash Lim studio. And I was like, damn, let's call unique music. And I started calling them like, damn, it's kind of weird, but they answered. I'm like, these niggas is not answering. So thank you for checking us out when we called you. Hey, you family. Thank you. My answer every time. Appreciate you so much, man. So, man, what's been up? Well, let's talk about it, man. It's a lot going on, man. I seen you in that new banging song, What a Freaks. I seen you in that video. Yeah. You were killing the game in that whole too. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it.  Did y'all have a song together? No, we didn't have a song. That was our first official song. That was our first official song. I thought y'all had something together a long time ago. I guess it didn't, nothing. Wow. Anyway, I was thinking wrong. Well, how was it working beside us? Erica Banks, she live. That was your first time working? Yeah, that was my first time working together, but I had met her a few times before then. I got it. I got it. Yeah, so she dope. You enjoyed it?  Okay. And so how hard was it, you know, even, cause you guys had that song already before. I mean, I had seen it. I danced to it over here. I believe, I remember dancing to it. I did. I didn't see no videos of you dancing to it. Yeah, I was dancing. Yeah. I was on, I was on. You were right there, really? I was on, I was in. Matter of fact, I was in there.  No, I was dancing. No, he was staying up dancing. Oh, okay. Trying to catch onto the dance. Oh, okay. Hitting that hoe. I hit that hoe too. And what I was doing it, you know, y'all lost me, but you know, I did get in there. I got posted. That's okay. You tried. But any rate, at any rate, how was it just the video and emotion and just putting it all together? I feel like it was dope. I already knew whenever we made the song that it was gonna be, that it was gonna go pretty far because whenever we started doing it on TikTok and started blowing up and stuff like that and she was like the perfect candidate for it. Like we all from Dallas, you know what I mean? So yeah, she's, she's dope. She's just a dope artist. She's a good person.  So one thing I always say, you know, when I see y'all constantly putting out work and y'all always doing it with a smiley, y'all always looking like you having fun, I'm like, I'm always about realness because people go to work every day because they have to go to work, but you don't always want to go to work. But I see y'all always smiling, having a good time. Is it like that all the time or sometimes you just do it because it's content. You gotta do it. Sometimes you might not feel to, you have personal problems or whatever, you gotta put a smile on your face. Tell me about that. So it's easy. I mean, when you love doing what you do and you get paid for it, it makes it 10 times easier. So it doesn't feel like work. It feels like fun all the time, you know? So we always just have a good time and we always smile in because we enjoy doing it. So. And I always talk about y'all, that's one thing I always talk about y'all because when y'all come in, cause a lot of people would love to do what y'all doing. And when I say that being creative, being content makers, a lot of people out here, even people who are popular, people who are star up here, trying to get with the internet social media wave, and they're not posting content every day. I'm telling, I give y'all kudos cause as soon as you come in, a lot of the time, especially when you're with a group, you're pulling out the lights. You're putting the light over here.  I'm like, I'm watching that and I admire that about y'all. Y'all are never just sitting down not doing anything. Y'all are constantly creating content. And I love that. And I always try to pass on that information to every and anybody. Because I'm like, if you are not doing this, y'all slipping. Yeah. If you're not first, you last. And if you stop, you're done. That's how it is. You have to continue to go. You have to post every day. If you wanna be an influencer, you have to wake up, you gotta wanna do it, you gotta do your makeup, you gotta, whatever, you gotta post. Every day you have to post on every site. Or once you lose it, then that's it. Once you lose your buzz, that's it.  So my baby has, he goes to school for one and then he has nap time. So while he's taking his nap, I'll get my promos knocked out or I'll get my TikToks knocked out. And then I got a good support system. I have Prince Mom and I have my mom that also takes care of him. So I'm just blessed to have that. Whenever I need to do anything or anytime we need to go out of town or anything, they gon' get them, one of them. You know what I mean? So I got a good support system. Everybody not blessed with that, but you can still do it while they napping or while they're in school.  So you still spend a lot of time with your child because you know a lot of people always be like, well, I got a grind, I make my money now. They can stay with their grandma, but they hardly see their kids. They hardly spend time with their children. You know what I mean? Never. I'm with my baby every day unless I go out of town. Okay. Never. So only time they get them is when I really need them to watch him. That's it. Like my baby glued, he stays up under us. I put that on you or something. I'm gonna jump subjects on y'all. Great subject, great, great segue. I jump like, boom. Yeah. I put that on you. That's one of my favorites. You, you. So what you want? Do. I like that. Yeah, you remember that. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I just thought. That video was dope. Yeah, y'all was killing that. I love that video. Thank you. I love that video. It was crazy because that was the second time we recorded the video first and then we didn't like the video. So we was like, we gonna wait and we shot it again because it wasn't that the energy wasn't there. The vibe wasn't there. It was like, we can't drop it like that song too hard. So we ended up doing it again and then that's what came out. It was dope. It was dope. Wow. Thank you. It's something else. I appreciate y'all. You recognize when something's not right and say, you know what, let's revamp it. I think a lot of people should take heed to that because sometimes people just so stubborn in there, what they believe in. And if they, a lot of times the ratings, when you look at something and the ratings not right, you supposed to renegotiate the deal, right? Correct.  You do that a lot? Yeah. Cause that makes sense, right? I don't take it down, but if that video don't do nothing, I'll try to go to the next level and do something else to make it go. I see a lot of people doing that though. And I hate it. Cause you see people always like take off everything off of their Instagram and then only start posting like four things again and start from the, why do they do that? I don't know why they do that. I don't do that. I'm just gonna keep, I'm gonna keep posting. You know what I mean? If it doesn't work the first time, I'm gonna find another way to do it and then we're gonna do it like that. Yeah.  And I just want to tell you kudos to you for knowing how to renegotiate a good entrepreneur always knows how to revamp and return and try to figure things out and change quickly with the time. So that's a good look. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate you. So keep on doing that. You know, that's something that, I think that's what pushes you into greatness. I'd being able to, you know, chameleon every situation. You know what I mean? Like flip and turn 20 situation. So what's the biggest thing? What are you looking for in 2023? It's about to be here.  What are we doing? What are we looking at this first quarter that you feel is gonna push you to get the, you know, cause we should have a big push at the first of the year, right? That first three months, that first quarter, what are you thinking? So we have a song out right now called Too Hot featuring K Blast and C4S featuring K Blast. And it's doing really, really, really good. So that video we just recorded probably about a week ago, but then we got another one about the back door and it's called Be For Real and it's even harder like with me, KP and Gigi on it. So we busting out the game. You know, we don't stop. Yeah. C4S don't stop. You gotta drop constantly cause you never know what's gonna work. You never know what's gonna work. Some might take off then and might slow down then. Some might take off and might slow down. You just gotta keep dropping cause you never know what's gonna work. You might wake up rich the next day. What do you think is, what do you think is one of the best things that happened for you in 2022? And what is some of the things that held you back? I gotta say the best thing that happened to me is completing all my goals. Like my goal was to get a million followers on TikTok by the end of this year. And I think I made that goal back in April around my birthday. Wow. I'm at 988K. So I know I'm gonna be able to hit it in this month. So I think that's one of my biggest things that I'm proud of. You should be. Another one, it's gotta be, I put that on you. Super proud of that. I mean, it's a couple of songs that I'm super proud of.  Yeah, I remember that one. I put that on you. Yeah, like we just been growing. I think that's what it is. You know what I mean? I think we've just been growing. And so every step is accomplishment for us. Now give me the thing that you feel like kind of set you back on something and you're like, I shouldn't have done that. It's not something that I should have done. I feel like I could have done more because I don't wanna be outworked. You know what I mean? Like I was saying before, once you stop, you're done. Like I feel like I could have put in a little bit more work. And I know in 2023 I'm gonna put in that work. You know what I mean? Of course you say we have like family problems all these extra things that's going on in life but you gotta just keep it, keep pushing, keep going. And I think I'm gonna look forward to that more in 2023.  And it might not look slow online but you know, I know I could have did better. Was that, that was this year when they went on vacation when they, I remember seeing them that was. Went to Puerto Rico. Where is it? What was it? Cancun. Yeah, Cancun.  Of course. Something like that in 2023. I love it. I love it. Yeah, it'll be somewhere different. I wanna go to Jamaica. You gotta take time. Yeah, I wanna go to Japan. There's so many places that I wanna go but I'd rather go getting booked if that makes sense. That makes sense. I wanna go just to vacate. I wanna go and they be like, okay, wish we got Unix movies coming to perform. You know? So I'd rather it be that. Yeah, work and play, yeah. Yeah, I think that'd be hard. I think that'd be hard. What do you think TikTok is like one of those places where you've figured it out. I mean, what's the next place where you'd like to figure it, totally figure it out when it comes to the social media platforms? I'm gonna have to go with Facebook right now. Facebook is number one on my list. Sorry, TikTok, y'all don't gotta move down. Facebook is my number one right now. I have so many supporters on Facebook. It's ridiculous. Like Facebook gonna take over, I'm telling you right now. By next year, Facebook is gonna take over TikTok. It's gonna be everything. And I already know that Facebook is number one right now as far as the apps. But it's like the money, the revenue and all of the support that we get off of Facebook is more than what I get off of TikTok. And I have less followers on Facebook. Like I really got real supporters on Facebook. You know what I mean?  So what is the difference in the algorithm for us TikTok versus Facebook when you think about the way you layer it out? Is it the app? Is it still on?  Or is it just, is it the same type of footage? Is it a different type of footage? Same footage.  You guys definitely figured it out. How many times do you suggest like a person who's trying to push a brand? How many times would you suggest them posting a day across the board? If you first getting started, I would say at least twice a day just so you can get, so you can get familiar, you can get in there. Then once you start getting followers, you can go down to one time a day, but when I first started, I was posting at least two to three times a day. Now, how many times do you post a day? One, I only post one time a day. Really? On every platform? On every platform. That's hard. That's it. I save my drafts and I post on the next day. I'll post one times a day so I can always have footage, you know what I mean? I save it up on my phone. So if I do 10 videos, I don't have to post all 10 that day. I can just post one or two and know that it's gonna do good. And then the next day I'll do the rest. So that's good for days that you can't record. Days you're too busy, I got the kid and stuff. So those days I'll have my drafts and then I post, but I post every day. Every day? Every day. There's not a day go about it, I don't post. Wow. Every day. How do you keep your, because you know your unique music and then you're part of C4S, how do you keep the differentiation of the artists from the group? And how do you advise each person in C4S to do the same? Because say C4S is doing good as a group, but then some people might feel a certain way because they want their individual craft to... Everybody wants their individual craft. Everybody wants their individual craft. So what I do is... That's a lot of times when I do a breakup in the past because one person outshined the other person in the group and blah, blah, blah, whatever. That's why you gotta start with a solid foundation. Number one, if you try to do this group stuff. And we're not really a group, we're a label. Everybody got their own separate things going on. But I don't know how I do it. I create my own songs. Everybody got their own individual songs. Then we got our group songs, you know what I mean? And so when I'm not with them, I'm still moving because I still got my own stuff that I gotta do. So when did y'all become a label? We became a label. I mean, C4S always been a label. C4S always been a label. When I met Prince, then I was signed to the label. And this was probably about five years ago. And then everybody else. Because when I see C4S, a lot of people might not realize it's a label because it looks like it's a group. Because when you think about labels, whether Rapalod or anybody else, you see, yes, the label, but it doesn't look like a group. You see the individual artists doing their own thing. But when we see y'all, you see y'all doing things together as a group. So it looks more like... A group, yeah. Strength coming numbers. Like we all help each other out. If one person got one thing going, everybody gonna get behind it. Vice versa. Strength coming numbers, we know that. We can take over the world. Everybody needs somebody.  You know what I mean? We can take over the world if we're all together and we all showcasing our skills together. But then we also have our individuality, if that makes sense. But when you look on, I'm gonna use you as an example. When you look on your pages, which I have not researched all your pages right now, with me saying this, do I, would I see a lot of your individual work or do I see a lot of C4S? You see a lot of C4S. You do see a lot of C4S, but you also see me doing individual work. But I'm gonna say you see more of C4S because I just support all of them. And I love all of them. I wanna see everybody make it. So I tend to do, me, I tend to go more on that side, doing stuff together as a group. You know what I mean? But it only take one of us. And so when one of us pop, we all gonna pop. That's good. I mean, like... But that's just me, personally. No, I agree with that. But I also know that you can tell you got a good heart. You're trying to work hard with everybody when I've noticed you over the times that I watched the group. It seemed like you always trying to give you all to help each individual. She seemed like the leader over the female. And a lot of times when I feel like you should be in the front, you'll go to the back. I'm watching everything. I'm like, why is she in the back? Because it's not just about me. But at some times I'd be like, she do it a lot. I'm being real. It's not just about me though. I think it's because it's probably just you be one that person. You know, you're thinking of her in that way. But I get it. You know what I'm saying? Because you're trying to push different projects as well. So it can be easy having to deal with all that all the time. Yeah, I don't have to have the spotlight all the time. Because I'm using music. I'm a shine even in the back. So I'm not tripping. Yeah. I don't mind. I don't actually go hard. So it is what it is. So who is this white girl that's be with y'all? Like, what's up with her? You talking about the white girl? Yeah. No, I'm playing. He talking about destiny. Destiny, that's my baby. Like, how did you even know this white girl? You just don't use to seeing the white girl then. You always got one though. She hard.  She hard. She hard.  I mean, I'll notice that on my tripping. I mean, I really don't see it too much. Well, I see it. I see it. I've been living it a long time. You know what I mean? But it usually dope.  They fit. They know where they know their position. And they like it too. Because it makes them feel like, okay, I'm that one. You know what I'm saying? So how is it? And she got moves and she's got rhythm. Yeah. She got moves. She got rhythm. Destiny, she been dancing for a while. She says since high school or whatever. But I met her through the TikTok link-ups. So somebody brought her there and then I met her. And then we just started doing videos and stuff like that together. Wow. How big do you see for us the group, the label, just the camaraderie of all of y'all? How big would you like to see that get at its height? At its peak? Yeah. I'm trying to take over the world.  Like we different. Yeah. I gotta say that because a lot of artists don't come with a fan base already. People already know who we are. You know what I mean? So that's what makes us stand out. Because we all hard in our own individual way. We got singers, we got dancers. She a singer too. That's a real singer. Really? Yeah. She pretty hard. That's crazy. So we got all of these different people that's doing different things. But then we come together and I forgot what I was saying. I do that all the time. It's a trip though, but for her to be a singer? Yeah. And can sing and can blow. And can sing. Like if you were supposed to say she sound like somebody or her style is like somebody else. Who would you refer her to? Oh, that's hard. I'm probably got it. You know you remember JoJo? Remember JoJo? I think I do. A while back. What song? Oh my God. You put me on the spot with that one. I can't remember. I can't remember a song. Cause I'm trying, cause I never heard her. So I'm trying to think and figure out who would she sound like. So I know what she sound like. She sound like JoJo to me. Cause she got the soul. But then she still don't, she don't sound like a black girl. That's what I was trying to figure out. You get what I'm saying? So she don't sound like a Taylor Swift? No. No, because she got soul. Yeah, no. She don't sound like a Taylor Swift. Christina Aguilera. Christina Aguilera, no. Cause Christina Aguilera got soul now. She got soul, but she got a lot of soul. Christina Aguilera got a lot of soul. So she sound like JoJo to me. So she don't have that much soul, but she got some soul. She got some soul. When she come on to show you hear it. So, okay. So how hard is it? Cause I'm going back to see for it. How hard is it working with Oh Boy Prince and C4S? Cause you know how sometimes working with your partner and it's different.  Still gotta do it. Okay. So you still gotta do it. You still gotta do it. It's not hard per se, but me living with the manager, he's always on my ass, which is a good thing, you know? Did you post this? Did you post this? What are you doing? You know, you got this tomorrow. You got this tomorrow and did you do this? Did you do that? It's like somebody constantly being in your ear about what you need to get done, but some people need that, you know? So I appreciate it. I wouldn't say that it's hard. You know what I mean? Because everybody needs that somebody to give them that push and he just give me that push. And it's just like a everyday push. It's not just a, you know. Yeah. Cause work never ends. Work never ends. So he always in my ear about what I need to do. You get what I'm saying? So, but I wouldn't say that it's bad. It's not bad. It's helping me progress. Do y'all ever talk about anything other than work? Of course. I'm just asking. Yeah. We talk about our kid. We talk about family. We talk about other stuff. She's like other stuff. Like all I do is talk about work. Really, that's what it boils down to. But, you know, we're trying to get somewhere. So yeah, we, we mostly focus on the bag. We try to get it. So what we need to do to get it? And he gonna, he gonna lay out all these gems. And I'm blessed to have that because how many people got a manager who done already went global? You know what I mean? That's real. To have somebody. It's rare. Yeah, yeah. That's real. Like, and that you respect him on his level. Yeah. Like he's seen, he's done it. It's different from somebody telling you and somebody that actually did it. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. So, yeah. It's a blessing. I'm blessed. I think that's hard, man. I just, I pray definitely for your family. And I know that you guys are something different. And I can't wait to see what God has next for you. I appreciate you. I appreciate you. That's real.  What you talking about? Hispanic, C4S, a member, cause that's, y'all got the why? If you try to do that, I'm trying to get, if you try to get every, every race. Every race. Every genre. Every. It's not about the race. How do you find them? No, it's not about the race. It's just if they're good or not. Nothing's wrong with practicing diversity. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with it.  Destiny brought a lot of diversity to my Facebook. There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with it. And it brings people more, more coaches into it too. Yeah. But I just, I just wanted to work with her because she was just hard. She was determined. So how do these people, can people reach out to y'all? Or do you go find these people? Of course. They reach out to Prince, Old Boy Prince on IG or unique music underscore on IG. I get messages all the time and I tend to read all my messages. So if anybody wanna reach out or say anything to me, I'm, I'm reading them. I mean, that's where I make my money at too. That's how I get my promos and stuff like that. So I definitely go through my messages and read my messages. I can't get to all of them, but I definitely be trying. What's the craziest comment that you've seen that was cool but crazy? Cool but crazy. It don't have to be nothing clear. Cool but crazy. You couldn't believe that person. Comment or a DM? Yeah, cause that's different. You're talking about two different things. Please don't ask me about a DM. He said comment. I got a DM, okay. I'm gonna ask a DM. The best comment, I'm not gonna say craziest comment. The best comment is people just telling us to keep going. We see what y'all doing. We proud of y'all. Keep pushing. Don't let up. You always come up with new content. We love you. We support you. I get those type of comments all the time. So it's like I have to keep going. You know what I mean? So what's the craziest thing you've seen in your DM? Oh my God. Because T-Rail came on here recently and he said the craziest thing he's seen or one of the craziest things is a guy reaching out to him and saying that he wanted him to sleep with his wife. That's crazy. Yeah, you know, I done got a couple of explicit photos. I think that's the craziest thing. Like why? You know what I mean? Explicit photos. I think that's gotta be the craziest thing. I done got it in my DM. Okay. Yeah. We just gonna leave it at that. Cause people crazy. They be sending all types of stuff. Oh yeah. I can only imagine. I feel bad for you. I don't feel bad for me. That is a crazy thing. They don't even be knowing that Prince be checking my messages sometimes too. He got access to my pages. So sometimes I don't even get to see him. You know, he just tell me, hey, but that's okay. I give him access to it. We both got access to each other stuff. Yeah, that's something you supposed to do, right? Yeah, we do too. Yeah. That's part of it. What's the secret of making it last long? 20 years plus. For me, I don't know, but for me it's God. Same. Yeah. And people think that's a cliche statement, right? But we just talking about it today. I say we gotta go harder with God. That's the most important thing. When somebody come up against us and it'd be like something, body said this or said that. And we just have to go deeper in our relationship with God and family. My son right there, he been around for a long time. He been around a long time. He know one thing about it when he come over to the house, he end up getting a study or something. He know that already. A shot of a doubt, he'll tell you that, like they may be over there praying, they might be over there reading. They might be over there. But then we may have a good time too. Me and him might ride out, but we always want our kids to know that when they come there, it's a place of peace and it's a place where God and respect is held at the utmost. Amen. That's real. I mean, it don't get no simpler than that. That's how it is. And you have to hold on to that because you gotta think about it. It's always gonna always use people to try to come in between that, use people to punch holes in it because people will see that and think whether it's a phenomenon or whatever, but nobody's perfect, we're not perfect, we go through things. Correct.  You know what I mean? Of course. So that's life in every aspect of it.  All of a sudden, everybody's after you now. It's just always been like that from the beginning of the time. That's just how life is. Especially with social media, man. Social media is crazy. Social media turned in a lot of relationships. A lot of time because people don't have a good foundation. They don't have a good foundation. Correct. So it shakes them. But if you have a good foundation and a person call you or do something to you, my biggest thing is can I convert them and show them how God is powerful, more powerful than that evil that they try to project? And don't let it change you as a person. Like, you already be ready for battle because we know it's a spiritual warfare. But we're gonna get you back in the show. Sorry, I started interviewing y'all.  Like, everything. Oh, thank you. When I see the green, listen, man, the green is hard. And the nails to match and all that. Nails looking hard. You know what I'm saying? Fly as ever with the turtleneck. You know, I got to get my turtleneck. You slipping, you slipping. I got to get my turtleneck on. He already know what time it is. I can't compete. That's the one thing I love about winter is turtleneck weather. Yes. Wow, man, dope, man. So, man, we want to hear you flow as usual. When you come on boss talk, you already know what time it is, man. Yeah, I know what time it is. You know we got to get something from you, right? Man, let me try to find something, man. You let me know what's up. Yeah, let's try this. We're going to go with this one. Hey, look, I remember I was trapping all that used to do a dream that I was rapping. Used to think that I'd never make it happen. I ain't trippin'. Now I got it five years down the line. Puttin' pressure on these bitches.  I was fresh off the flight, off the mic. Talkin' bout takin', I was like a rocket. Now that I got it, no, I ain't fuckin' with bitches. Thumbin' through hundreds and fifties. I told them I'm gifted. Told them the plate ain't positioned.

Hi, my name is Heidi Kodra Jagannath, registered nurse and health educator at the Bureau of Health Education, Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs. Today's focus is food care in persons with diabetes. Food complications are one of the most common conditions in persons with diabetes, which can result in limb amputations. Common food problems may include foot ulcers, athlete's foot, fungal nail infection, calluses, blisters, dry skin and ingrown toenails. Chronic high levels of blood sugar causes nerve damage, which results in poor blood flow, especially to the feet. This is called peripheral neuropathy. The symptoms include loss of sensation, numbness, pain in the legs or feet and sensitivity. About 60% of all persons with diabetes will eventually develop peripheral neuropathy. However, following some basic tips can help to reduce your risk of common food problems and serious complications. Diabetes is complex and it is a daily challenge. Therefore, it is important that you ensure that you eat as healthy as possible, exercise and take your medication as prescribed. Here are some basic guidelines to help you take care of your feet. Keeping the blood sugar level under control will help in managing diabetes and protect your feet. Carefully inspect your feet on a daily basis. Look for redness, blisters, sores, calluses and other signs of irritation. Food checks are especially important if you have poor blood flow or circulation. Visit your closest wellness center or private doctor if you notice any of the following with your feet. Changes in skin color or temperature, ankle or feet swelling, the appearance of cones, calluses, ingrown toenails, infected toenails or dry cracked skin, leg pain and unusual odor. Open sores that are slow to heal or oozing. Wash of it daily with mild soap, one that will not increase or cause skin dryness and warm water. Persons with prolonged diabetes are especially prone to dry skin. Avoid soaking your feet for long periods. If you choose to use warm water, test it with your hands first. It is recommended that someone else test the water and it should be look warm. Dry your feet completely after bathing. Pay special attention to the areas between the toes. When drying your feet, avoid rubbing as it can cause friction and can irritate the skin. Pat dry preferably. Avoid applying cream between the toes. Once a week, examine your toenails. Trim toenails straight across using a nail clipper. Avoid rounding or trimming down the sides of toenails. Smooth rough nail edges with an emery board after clipping. Wear shoes with proper padding and support. Preferably, buy shoes in the afternoon. This is when your feet tend to swell. Avoid pointed toes shoes. Round toe shoes are better. Buy shoes at least half a size or one size bigger. This will prevent friction and restrict blood flow. Avoid walking outside and around the house bare footed. Preferably, wear loose, seamless cotton or wool socks. People with diabetes should have a foot examination done at least once a year. However, people with poor foot circulation should have examinations done at least every three months. Be proactive and make your appointment today at your wellness center to see a poor diatrist for your foot examination. I am Heidi Kodra Jaganath. Thanks for watching.


Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Movie Feuds. You know, we typically review some pretty big blockbusters, so this week we're going to flip it to our top five most underrated movies of all time. I thought it was Underwear Movies. What? What is an Underwear Movie? Risky Business, The Pelican Brief. It's not even about Underwear. It's a plan words. So do you need some time then to do some underrated movies? I don't know. I got this. You always have lists? I just got lists. Oh, it's right on the top here. Yeah, let's do this. I'm going to start with my number five list. It is the superior underrated list. Number five, Emperor's New Groove, a little Disney gem that for some reason people just passed by like it was nothing. Great voice acting by David Spade and Putty from Seinfeld. I don't know his real actor name. I'm certainly not going to do any research on it. It's one of my favorite Disney movies. I know Corey personally loves it. I actually haven't even seen it. I didn't even know it existed until this morning. Oh, this is awkward. Kind of. I can't believe this is happening. Then I bet you weren't expecting this. No! Oh, okay. The Emperor's New Groove. My number five flick is none other than Boz Lerman's Romeo and Juliet. I'm already bored of your list. No, I know Adam doesn't really like these kind of movies, but I think it's a great take on Shakespeare's classic play and, of course, starring my boy Leo DiCaprio in the mainstay who at the time was Claire Danes. What does that even mean? I don't like these kind of movies. She was already pretty popular. No, the movie comment. Is it a musical? I would like it. I just think that, you know, you don't have a knack for the drama. You know, the theater. Interesting. If you will. I have never seen it, so I guess there is that. That's the truly underrated part of it. Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The Count of Monte Cristo takes my number four spot. Why emphasize the O? Point, Corey. Why not emphasize the entire flick? Unfortunately, it was left out to see to die. It's got swashbuckling. What is swashbuckling? It's like sword fighting for pirates. Oh, okay. Betrayal, buried treasure. Think of it as the Shashank redemption. Pirates of the Caribbean. The number four spot of my list of underrated movies is a little flick called The Life of David Gale. Now, ensemble cast here with Kevin Spacey alongside Laura Linney. I think her name is Laura Linney. Well, it's Laura for short. I mean, Lauren being the full name by birthright. I don't think that's... Can I finish? And in Kate Winslet who plays an investigative reporter who is trying to get knowledge about Kevin Spacey's David Gale who is behind bars for, you know, accused of murdering his friend. The sound's really great. It's not. Gina Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, The Long Kiss Good Night. Do I have to say anything else? Gina Davis? Yeah, I guess she's not really a selling point anymore. But she was back in the early 90's, mid 90's and that's when The Long Kiss Good Night should have been seen but was not. I'll watch any movie with Samuel L. Jackson. Three snakes on the plane. Charlie Baltimore's alive, sir. Who are you? My name's Charlie. The spy. When we first met, you were all like, oh, boy, I burned the darn muffins.  Gina Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, The Long Kiss Good Night. Well, my number three most underrated movie of all time is one of my favorite comedies of all time and that's Super Troopers. Now, in the list of all time great comedies, Super Troopers is rarely mentioned but because it's not funny. I think this is definitely Broken Lizard's best movie and with that cast, he can't really go wrong. Who's in it? Do we look like the two dumbest guys in the world to you? Super Troopers. In this town, you don't mess with the law. You know how fast you're going? 65. 63. The law messes with you. Isn't the speed limit 65? Yeah, it is. I'm freaking out, man. Everybody's heard of Lord of the Rings and King Kong but most people don't know Peter Jackson had a little gem before those films called The Frightners. Features My Boy Michael J. Fox. It's both a horror film and a comedy which is a hard balancing act to do and it's understandable it didn't go mainstream for that purpose for their lives. I've seen a figure in a cape. That was the soul collector. Don't stop till the screen starts your day. The Frightners. Numero Dose on my list and that's Spanish for number two. Not Spanish for don't. The Zodiac. Now, David Fincher, director of Fight Club of Seven, Benjamin Button, Social Network and most recently The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is a mystery slash thriller that keeps you on the edge of the seat the entire time. It's really nice too because it's not your typical thriller. It follows more what happens to the guy studying the killer and not so much the killer itself. And based on a true story. Based on my story. Wait, what? Are you sure there's nobody else in the house? The number one movie on my list, a film everybody should see but hasn't The Game. Featuring Michael Douglas, star-studded performance, great twist, and it's directed by David Fincher, a guy you may remember from such films as Fight Club, Seven, Benjamin Button, The Social Network and most recently The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I said all of that not five minutes ago. They make your life fun. What we're saying for the best for last and that's because my number one most underrated movie of all time. I'm excited. Is my favorite movie, Boiler Room. And now I'm depressed. Star-studded cast starring Vin Diesel and Giovanna Ravizzi and Ben Affleck and Jamie Kennedy and Scott Cahn. A laundry list of actors I never want to see in a movie. This isn't your run-of-the-mill crime thriller here.  I don't think that's fair and the most comparison here is Rounders meets Wall Street. But I've never seen it. I've never seen it. I'm sure it's really good, but I'll never watch it. I'm destroying people's lives. I want to get out of the film. I don't care what you do anymore. Just get out of here! Is that Davis here? It's time, Seth. Giovanni Ravizzi, Vin Diesel, Neil Long, Tom Nefritt Scott and Ben Affleck. Anybody who tells you money is the root of all evil doesn't have any. All right, Seafly. Now that we got through this list, I'm going to kill two birds with one stone and finish my underwear one that I handcrafted. Starting with, I think it was at the three-spot, Deuce Bigelow, Male Jigolo. Number two, we got Night at the Rocksbury. Should I be worried that you know so many movies by their underwear scenes? Frankly, I'm a little worried that you don't. Why emphasize the O? Good point, Corey. I forgot your name. It's got one of my favorite action moments that I just eat up. And it's got one of my favorite action moments that I just eat up, and that's when she takes the neck of it.  And it has one of my favorite action scenes that I just eat up, and that's when Gina Davis takes the neck of a dying deer and snaps it.


Welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education and I am Dr. Ashmi Singh, Assistant Professor of the Department of Education at the S.Hanagpur School College, University of Allahabad. This is my email ID and lecture will be in bilingual mode that is beneficial for both Hindi as well as English-speaking students. Subscribe my channel to get updated in the field of educational psychology mainly and to get my future videos and the topic we are going to discuss today is Cooperative Learning. And we will be useful for certain teaching exams so let's start. First of all concept. We will learn from cooperative learning. What is cooperation in the field of educational psychology? Sometimes you will get cooperative learning as a collaborative learning. So what does cooperation mean? Where does it come from? What does concept mean? There are three ways in which student-student interaction is started. student interaction in the structure in class rooms. That means, you, the students of Kaksha, Kaksha, Vidya, and Vidya, can be classified in three ways. You can do the structure, the structure, the structure. You can be competitive, individualistically, and co-operatively. Either they are in competition mode, or they are alone, they don't care about each other, they don't care about each other, and they are in the same group as each other. In which co-operative student interaction will be used as best results. It has been shown by various researches. In this, it has been found that when we structure co-operative student interaction in the class, it gives the best result. Okay, then what is co-operative? It is an educational approach. This is a Shashi Kuppagam, which aims to organize classroom activities into academic and social learning experiences. This is a Shashi Kuppagam. This is a Shashi Kuppagam, which aims to organize classroom activities into academic and social learning experiences. Okay, it is sometimes thought simply as a group. Sometimes, it is said that co-operative or collaborative learning means that the students work in a group, which means that they have co-operative or collaborative learning. But, groups of students working together might not be working collaboratively. But, we should not think that the students are working in a group, but they are not working collaboratively. This means that the co-operative or collaborative learning is not merely a group. It is not just about working in a group. It is something different, something different. What is important is that it involves students working together. This means that the students have to work together. The students have to work together. For whom? To accomplish shared goals. For the purpose, for the purpose of achieving that goal, everyone who is in the middle of everything, means that they are not just my goal, they are also the goal, they are also the goal. So, everyone will work towards shared goals. And it is this sense of interdependence that motivates group members to help and support each other. And when everyone knows that Laxia is dedicated to us, everyone is working for the goal. So, we motivate the group members to work together, to help each other, to support each other. Okay. When there is no need to discuss this here, I would like to tell you that the competitive interaction between students is very negative interdependence. That means that I will win when you lose. The individualistic meaning is that I am winning, you are losing, you are not winning, it doesn't matter to us. There is no need to stop it. No interdependence. But cooperatively it means positive interdependence. It means that you are aware of the positive side of the group. It means that if I lose, you will also lose. I will win, you will win. I will win, you will lose. Okay. This is the theme behind it. But the definition we are trying to understand is that Kagan said that cooperative learning is teacher-designs. Oh, this is the spelling mistake. I am so sorry, I am trying too fast. There is no design. Teacher-designs is social interaction structures as well as learning activities. Here, we are saying that what is the role of the teacher? We have to design the structure of social interaction and learning activities. That means which role we will give, which group we will make, which leader we will make, which moderator we will make, which supporter we will make. We have to train all these teachers to provide them with information. Then Johnson and Johnson said that cooperative learning students can maximize their own and each other's learning will be the work to it. He said that cooperative learning is a type of learning in which education is maximized. It means it is shared. It is shared with us as well as others when it is shared with us. This type of learning is a type of learning. Then, in the quarter in 1904, he said that it is a structured form of small group learning. We have to learn in small groups which are structured as we have explained in the lesson. It is based on two key assumptions. The two main points of it are positive interdependence and individual accountability. This is the first point that I would like to share with you about the good health and well-being of students. The second point is that the individual is also accountable. If they work in a group, then only some people work in a group. We are not doing anything else. We are doing money like learning. We are not doing anything else. Everybody has to have some responsibility to be here. Everybody is accountable for the group but for the shared goal. Okay? And then, Slavi said that it is a critical element of cooperative learning is group teamwork and team goals. That is, it is the main element of the group. Then, history. Where did cooperative learning come from? When did it come about? Who did it? Who did it? So, in Italy, in 1960s, cooperative learning was relatively unknown and largely ignored by educators. In the 1960s, it was unknown to know about cooperative learning. And even today, it is not as popular as blended learning or differentiated instruction, personalized instruction. It still does not have that role that it should have. Individualistic learning was mainly sidelined by DS-Nursework on program learning and media identification. The individualistic learning was not sidelined by DS-Nursework. It was removed from the path. No, it was not. When program learning was working and behavior modification was working, individualistic learning was not needed. Then, what happened? Then, just started School of Psychology. In which we know the people of Kofa, Kola, who are working on perception, working on the whole, they first worked on social interdependence. Then, Kofa's co-workers, Kurt Levy, Kurt Levy, you must know that Kurt Levy is a group dynamic. He had studied about dynamic whole. We talk about dynamic whole. What is dynamic whole? Change in the state of any member of Sabru. Change in the state of any other member of Sabru. This is the kind of dynamic whole that we have to make. If a member has a change in the state of any member, then it will change in the state of any other member. It means that everything is connected with each other. Then, Levy's graduates and his students, Martin Dute, and Levy's reasoning was related to social interdependence. They formulated a theory of cooperation and competition. They took out a theory of cooperation and competition in which they conceptualized three types of social interdependence. I was talking about the competitive interdependence. The individualistic means none. The collaborative or the co-operative has positive interdependence. These are the positive and the negative. Then, in 1970, Sir James Britton created an active learning procedure known as collaborative learning. Sir James Britton later worked in 1970 on active learning procedure. Because he involved all the four of them, he was behaving like an active learner. He was working, so he called it collaborative learning. Later, David and Robert Roger Johnson gave our social interdependence theory and came out with the idea of co-operative learning. Then, what is the basis of this theory? No doubt it is based upon the social constructivism theory by Levy-Gottz. We all know that Levy-Gottz is the third paradigm of constructivism. It is based on the continuum, the first is cognitive constructivism, then social constructivism, and then radical constructivism. The cognitive constructivism talks about the amount of knowledge and the role of society. The person who is doing this is P.R.G. P.R.G. is the founder of constructivism, but it is only about cognitive constructivism. Levy-Gottz is a group of people who took social aspect into learning. So, the main thing is that under the influence of cognitive learning refers to social constructivism. It refers to the language, interaction, and culture of the society. He considers that the roles of culture in society, language and interaction are important in understanding how humans learn. He said that the culture, the culture, the language, the relationship between us, takes a very important role in how humans learn. By the way, P.R.G. is you, that knowledge is cultural. Right? If we look at it with cognitive constructivism, it is knowledge and knowledge is personal. But here, knowledge is cultural. He has asserted that the development of individuals, including their thoughts, languages, and reasoning process is the result of culture. He says that the development of individuals i.e. their thoughts, languages, and reasoning process is the result of culture. These activities are developed through social interactions with others. Therefore, I represent the shared knowledge of individual beings. That means, these individual beings are born from social interaction and that is why we can say that yes, and you who have knowledge are the shared knowledge of culture. They are different from each other. They are different from each other. They are different from each other. Then, if we talk about Bikers, then ZPD will definitely be the zone of proximal development. What is it? They say that it is a zone. One is the zone in which the child learns by himself, not with anyone. And the other is the zone in which there is a more knowledgeable person. So, both of them are different. So, the only difference is the zone of proximal development. That is, the one who learns can learn there. If he is with a more knowledgeable person, a more knowledgeable person. So, what is it? It captures the child's cognitive skills that are in the process of maturing and is can only be honed with the assistance of more skilled persons. How can we show these skills when we are in a more fortunate situation? Then, the process of adjusting the support is for the student. But the student is also talking about the support of the student. The adjustment of the support refers to the assistance given to students in completing tasks that they cannot be completed by themselves. So, what it means is that the tasks that we are providing to the students in completing tasks that we provide to the students that they cannot be completed by themselves. That is, they cannot be completed without the assistance of the students. And then, in the operative learning, ZP is the spiritual role of the student. That is, the role of the student in the cooperative learning of ZP and ZP. Then, the confidence. Who is that person, that component, that house, who changes the group activity in the cooperative learning. Otherwise, the group activity can be done by anyone. In the class, we are asked to form a group of four students. How can we do this? It is not cooperative learning. What is cooperative learning? Well, it has at least these five components in it. First of all, positive independence. That is, the first part should be that everyone has to win together. It should be like, you win, I lose. Or I win alone. Why don't you lose? That is, it's theme, we will sing or swim together or we will swim together. Individual accountability. I have already said that every individual should be accountable. There will be no such member who has any such work. So, everyone's work should be done by the student and everyone will have to do it. Then, promoting interaction, that is, face-to-face interaction. Promoting interaction is 8 most important between each every individual. Then social skills. When we do cooperating learning in class, we will teach you some social skills. Like leadership potential, disease and making trust, building, commingation, etc. And then group processing. We can be a group, we can leave the path, we can discuss in a different way. Anything can happen. So we need to see group processing. Do teachers and those who are a part of the group have an effective working relationship? No. Then it is a dynamic representation of competence of cooperative learning. That is, it has positive interdependence, group processing, skills, individual responsibility and interaction. Ok. Then types. How are types of cooperative learning there? As you can see, there are 3 or 4 types of cooperative learning. This type of cooperative learning can be formal cooperative learning, informal cooperative learning, cooperative based groups and constructive control. And we need to pay attention that these types of cooperative learning are the span of cooperative learning. For example, in formal cooperative learning, the span goes from 1 class period to 6 periods. In formal cooperative learning, it goes from 1 class period to 1 class period. In cooperative learning, it goes from 1 class period to 6 periods. Long term, heterogeneous, cooperative learning goes with stable membership in which students provide one another with support, encouragement and assistance to make every progress. And the last one is most interesting, constructive control. The name of constructive control is also very beautiful. Johnson & Johnson is another term. It is said that, as we used to read in constructivism, we had a term called cognitive dissonance. That is, we make your cognition so that the individual who works as a student, attains the equilibrium, the homostasis which is disturbed. Similarly, constructive control is that it is not necessary to work in a group, it is not necessary to buy it from you, but it is necessary to buy it from the outside. So, what will happen? One person's ideas, information, conclusions, theories and opinions being incompatible with those of another. And the two, C to reach and agreement that reflects their best reason and judgment. So, what will happen when both the students and the students are working on it? How can we reach a target? Agreement. There are many methods. In structural team making and informal group learning methods, we can divide them. The first example is STAT, TGT, CIRC. Similarly, the second example is Jigsaw, Learning Together, Think Pair, Share and Group Investigation. And their classification is that the structure of the first group is better than the name. But in the informal group learning methods, it is less on the head-hawk and ray basis. So, there is no explanation of the technique because it is very time taking. So, what is jigsaw? It is jigsaw puzzle. It is a puzzle that we have to fit. So, what is jigsaw? It is a homeroom for all the experts. So, the students participate in all groups. How? It enables each student to specialize in homerooms. We have put four students in homerooms. And we have said to each homeroom that you have to specialize in this topic. You have to understand it. So, students meet with members from other groups who are assigned the same aspect. If you get the same aspect in this group, what will the students do? They will go to each group and discuss what you have understood and what you have learned. Then, when the group becomes a mastery material, and after mastering the material, return to the homeroom. So, they will return to their homeroom and share with the other members that this is understood in that group and this is understood in this group. Then, each student in the homeroom serves as a piece of the topics puzzle and when they are together as a whole, they create the complete jigsaw puzzle. So, when each member of the homeroom group works as a piece of the puzzle, and when they are together as a whole, they create the complete jigsaw puzzle. This is why jigsaw is called jigsaw. And it is very easy to create a group of students from any topic. And it will be fun for them. Benefits? Obviously, there are many benefits. There are many benefits. I will do some extra effort in the class. So, what is learning for all? Because everybody is involved in it. All the students are involved in it. It is better to have a learning achievement. When learning is done, it is better to have a learning achievement. Like, you will master your content, it will become better. It will be a divergent thinking. It will improve your social abilities. Social development, because it is a social group. They are discussing their peer groups. The communication is skill-developed and psychological health will be improved. How can we conclude this topic? Co-operative learning is working together to accomplish shared goals. Within co-operate. We are working on shared goals. And in co-operative activities, you need to seek outcomes. We are working towards the direction which is beneficial for everyone. Co-operative learning is the instruction and use of small groups. We are working towards the direction which is beneficial for children. And every student is working towards their own and their own learning. So, there is a positive interdependence in students' goals. And the special thing about this is that it is better for children and students. It is better for the faculty. So, it is good and good. Everyone is taking some time. You need to work on the structure. You need to work on the team. You need to work on the time. But it is very good. And so, thank you. And don't forget to like and subscribe my channel. I have completed a new topic, co-operative learning today. And to find my channel, scan to join a slow education. And join my group so that you can get learning materials. If you ask there, you can ask your query. You can provide me feedback too. I am in hurry because the battery of my system is short. Declining fastly. Okay? So, then from my side.


Welcome, everybody, to the NFCore Bite Size Talk series. It's a pleasure for me to welcome today, Ebon Floden. Ebon is the CEO and co-founder of Secura Labs, most of you already know him, and he'll be introducing today Next Float Tower, one of Secura's products, and showing us the latest features. So thanks for joining us today, Ebon, and look forward to hearing about it. Well, thanks a lot, Bezella. I've been following these talks along since they started, and it's really great to have this kind of continuity and continuation of ideas and kind of a nice forum for these places. So what I'm going to talk about today is a little bit about Next Float Tower, and I'm going to go more into the kind of new features that we have coming out, some of the more things that we're excited about, as opposed to kind of doing general overview. But if you are interested in general overview, get in touch with us. We can set up a demo. We can kind of go into your specific use cases and dive into that. Before I start too much into that, I'll just provide a little bit about what is Next Float Tower itself and kind of what is it designed to do for. And then we're going to go into a look at some of the new things that we have coming out around community workspaces, around tower actions, so really automating a lot of your workflows, reporting and outputs, and then finally introducing the new tower datasets functionality. So a little bit of background if you're not aware. So Tower is a full stack web application for the management of your Next Float Pipelines. Really developed it after many years of speaking with Next Float users who required a couple of things. They needed a user interface to interact with the Next Float Pipelines. They also wanted API access to make their Next Float Pipelines be able to be services so that you can have other systems talking to them. They also wanted a database of the history of your execution. So you can go back and say, okay, who ran this pipeline? What's the working directory of this? And then you want to dive into some of the statistics of those workflows. The other thing that was really important was the configuration and particularly in configuration of cloud environments. So being able to set up an AWS batch environment, for example, we really wanted to automate that process and enable the people to use the same way they interact with Next Float, but with a long running service which can stand up and do some of these cool things. So Next Float Tower itself, as I say, is a full stack web application. It can be deployed in your own environment. So our customers deploy it in their own AWS, Azure, Google, et cetera, or you can install it on-premise as well. The application itself is made up of a couple of pieces, but the main thing from a user perspective is that you can interact with it in many different ways. And it has the same philosophy of Next Float in the sense that it can be deployed in all these places, but it also connects in with the different computing platforms. So this means that you can deploy it in a given situation or a given location and then have the compute running in a completely different location. Okay, let's step into now some of the few things that we have coming out. And the first of these is the community showcase. And what we've done here is we really wanted to make it very easy for people who are first using Tower to be able to have quick access to some of the key features around it, including pipelines which have been verified. So I'll give you a quick showcase of what this looks like now inside of Tower. So anyone who signs up gets automatically added to this community showcase. And this showcase is what we call a workspace which can contain pipelines themselves which are preconfigured. You can see there's a couple of NFCOR pipelines that we have here and we're adding to these over time. So over the next couple of weeks there'll be a big release where we'll put all the compatible NFCOR pipelines into here and we'll allow people to run them. So this workspace is connected to a computer environment in AWS so you can run in that environment. And it's a kind of nice easy way to be able to get started with these workflows themselves and sort of kick them off. Kind of some criteria around putting these workspaces sorry putting these workflows into this workspace. One of them was to have make sure there's a kind of valid next flow schema file. So for example, if I click on AC care the fact that it has this next flow schema means that all of the inputs can be rendered in this way. This makes it very easy for a user to go down say select a particular option that they want and then kick off and launch that workflow. And that's kind of the main idea of this is to provide a set of validated pipelines which kind of conform to a particular way of running. Obviously things like the profile test which is in a core NFCOR profile that needs to be valid there. I mean a couple of things around how much resources those things take because we want to have something that's just kind of sensible for running in a way like this. So now you can go for example here you'd be able to go jump into that run if I wish to kind of dive into there see that run but also this is a kind of shared space so I can go see other workflows that people have launched dive in and if you're not familiar with power it kind of provides a very easy kind of monitoring single pane of glass into the workflow so you can see the different tasks processes memory etc. And then jump in to that I'm not going to go too much into that today though we want to sort of keep it to keep it to the new stuff for that. So that is the kind of introduction of those of the community workspace that we have. Another thing that I wanted to show you and sort of describe is around the automation of this and we saw last week in Dazella's talk that she described a little bit about how there was a GitHub action which was triggering an execution of a pipeline and that was essentially using the endpoint there. We've started to see some more sophisticated use cases of this and all this can be seen from inside the actions pane so you can see here that we can create an action and actually at the moment can have a couple of triggers one of that could be in this case a GitHub webhook so when I commit to this repository this execution will fire off this pipeline so in this case there'll be a GTK pipeline which will run and this can be very useful for similar to what we saw last week where it's really triggering the execution of a pipeline in some kind of testing mechanism. What's also become really useful is the creation of a webhook here in terms of creating a customized endpoint in the application which will allow you to trigger the pipeline if I hit this endpoint with some given parameters so I can create a pipeline here set up some action choose the compute environment have it all kind of preconfigured and then as soon as I hit that endpoint that pipeline will start off. Now this has been around for a little bit what we're starting to see now though is the ability to have those triggers executed based on different events so a common one that we see with users is setting up for example a lambda function which is able to detect a CSV file for example a sample sheet entering into an S3 bucket and that will then trigger the execution of this pipeline in this way. This is the kind of whole automation you can imagine stuff coming off your sequencer going through a predefined pipeline and then being notified of that at the end and something that we've seen a lot of success with as well. That's really just the first point of that. We wanted to make it a lot easier for you to have any kind of automations here and also be able to automate different parts of the system maybe not just launching pipelines but other aspects of that. And then for that we've started to be released the full open API for Tower itself so as the application grew to multiple users, multiple organizations, etc. We wanted to expand the API as well and make it kind of fully visible to users that have it. This allows you to then interact with it in sort of many different ways which allows us to build an SDK on top of the API which allows us to really get to the point here which allows us to build the command line interface. This is something we've just released in the last week also and this is the Tower CLI it's still an alpha release but I can hopefully show you a little bit about how it works here. You have an interaction very much similar to if you've used Nextflow Run with Tower and you essentially specify a workspace ID basically a token that you're going to be using and then it's going to submit workflows into that area. There's a couple of things here about how you can set this up follow this tutorial as well if you want to set this up. For the purposes of this I'm just going to give you a short quick demo of what it looks like. So if I was here in the command line interface for example I could then interact with my Tower server by maybe I want to list the credentials which are available to me in Tower so if I list them here you can see I have some AWS credentials set up and you can see when I set them up they've got some IDs associated with them and then very much like you've got Nextflow Run we want to allow to have a similar thing which is like Tower Launch and this is kind of a keeping of the philosophy of people who want to interact with the command line so if I say here Tower Launch I can even specify here even just a repository it doesn't even have to be a predefined pipeline it can just be any Nextflow repository here and if it's set to run I can launch this and if I can quickly I can't quickly share my screen fast enough I'm going to jump over to Tower and then hopefully here we'll see inside of this sorry inside of this workspace here you can see that that triggered the execution of that pipeline so this is kind of another quick way to do this we also see use cases where people want to automate the creation of computer environments for example maybe you want a computer environment for every user or parameterize that somehow and that also allows you to do that with the CLI so again one of these things we're excited to see what people build with it and hopefully you can get a lot of value out of that particularly if you're a biofum addition still loves the command line and wants to interact with these things in that way okay next thing is a kind of small thing but it may be quite useful for people if you're often in a situation where you launch a pipeline you maybe have some inputs you launch a pipeline and then you have some outputs sometimes visualizing that information or accessing that information is not necessarily straightforward those outputs could be in some publisher in some history bucket for example and maybe you don't have you don't want to go to your navigate through that or look up the console on AWS to go find that or even go into your shared storage to access it in that way so what we're coming up with is a way to manage outputs essentially be able to view, share results that come off and explore pipeline so what you can do here is be able to define any given outputs I mean a classic example would be something like multi-QC so you would specify multi-QC in the workflow definition that can actually be predefined in the pipeline itself and then from the user once the pipeline is complete you can then visualize those reports inside of here you can go down select PDFs HTML, images, etc and this will kind of keep a centralized place for those results and it's also nice because when you look at those results that are on you can imagine so taking them going back and understanding exactly what the process was, what the workflow was that created that and you can access them in that way the final thing I'm going to talk about which is a little bit related to this and it's sort of a way of also first attempt to going into sort of data management space and this has kind of been a long time coming because it's been a lot of work actually with folks in NFCore around how we structure this and the kind of the schema that we use for this. I'm very pleased though to announce that we now have and we'll have out this week is the next floor tower datasets functionality. What does datasets functionality do? Well, this allows you a way to define typically input datasets for now that can then be run in a pipeline it sounds a little bit trivial but there's kind of a key thing that it does here one is it enables you to keep track of everything that's gone into a workflow itself but also then you can update these keep versions of them and make it much easier for a user to be able to launch a workflow based on some given input so the datasets functionality here you can see I've got an example here I can create a new dataset so let's just call this RNA seek example dataset just call this sample sheet and I'm going to specify description if I want but I can drag and drop a sample sheet in here CSV CSV files for example and when I drop it into here you can see it gets an output and you can see this is the NFCore mega test that we're using so in this case it has got a row as the header so I can specify that now you can see I've got the samples the actual files themselves the strandedness etc and I could if I wanted to then like reupload a new version of this and it would have a version update the really nice thing though is that this follows a schema so if I create this now you can see I have RNA seek example sample sheet imagine that this could also be automated as well so imagine that sample sheet was created from some automation as a launch pad user so as someone who just wants to kick off a pipeline I can have predefined pipelines here now and when I go to run this my input given that knows the schema of the input I can simply select down here and you see I get a drop down of that workflow to run so I can select the workflow that I have and then launch the pipeline seems kind of trivial but you can imagine connecting this thing up with outputs for example then maybe from the launch of a pipeline you would be able to go see the inputs of that the outputs of that and then kind of reuse these things so we can create full ability to reuse and trace the reports that go into this so those are kind of quick overview of everything got maybe if you can think of ways that you can connect those ideas together I think there's a lot of potential for this we're doing if you do want a more detailed demo or dive into the stuff please reach out to us and we'd be happy to walk you through as well so I think it was 14 minutes must be a record yes that must be a record of yeah the right side story that actually kept in time thanks a lot for this great introduction of Tower's new features Evan please if you have any questions just post them into the chat but if nobody has one then I'll have one first it's great this new CLI that you presented I was really impressed by it and can you also provide parameters for example when you when you trigger like tower launch and how does that work yeah exactly you sure can so when you specify the parameters here you can specify them let me just find the example of this so one case of doing this would be to have on the RNA seek sorry on the basic hello and explore pipeline there's a parameter for the time out here so you can see that you can specify the parameters in this way here this is a way on running it in this way so you've got this dash test params field for doing so obviously that you can structure this in a different way another interesting thing is that from the API way you can actually submit sorry through the CLI but you can provide like a JSON object if you want kind of used to dealing with that and it kind of provides a different way of doing it without having to specify exactly each thing oh yeah that sounds that sounds great um are there any other questions so far don't see any other ones in the chat I was thinking if it's possible to upload datasets via the command as well yeah currently it will be available via the API and that's like this kind of big use case we see so you can imagine that you can even automate the whole thing where you're going to be having a dataset which is kind of dropping into the mystery of some sequencer that's going to you know upload to a dataset so you've kind of got the CSV you know all the you know all the we already read so I know your samples are you know all the metadata associated with them and that in itself triggers the execution of a pipeline you can kind of get a full circle here that would create some output which you can then use for something else so yeah that will certainly be available via the API by the command line I think it should be possible as well it just hasn't been integrated because the datasets is still just a little bit behind the CLI in this case yeah thanks a lot yeah this opens a lot of possibilities for automation triggering pipelines okay are there any other questions I'd like to thank you again for this this nice introduction and yeah close the bite-size talk for today


Yeah, I haven't really talked a lot about tools for depolarization or peacemaking. I mean, there are a lot of them out there. People are doing really beautiful work, various kinds of circle processes and truth and reconciliation committees and restorative justice circles and things like that. I would say that as we inhabit the place of empathy, as we rehumanize the enemy, as we seek healing over identity and being right, then we recognize the best technologies and methods to achieve those ends and we're able to develop them further. But I'm not an expert practitioner at any of the things that I mentioned. If there's one technology I would just add to the list, it's humor. Humor is sometimes, it's the last resort. Sometimes it's the only way to establish that we're in this together because we're both laughing at this thing. Humor is a peace offering to somebody. It's offering, let's be on the same side. For now, let's laugh together at something. When all else fails, then humor is the last resort. It's not even the last resort, it's the first resort and the last resort. If there is, if your action, your political action is humorless, then you've got some work to do. Then you could probably be a lot more effective and ask, and I'm not saying that it's not serious. There are horrendous things happening in Colombia and Brazil, like peace activists and environmental activists. They're getting killed. They're getting kidnapped and tortured. And the people doing that, how do you reach them? How do you touch their humanity? This is not an idle question. I think sometimes the only way is humor. Humor to even offer humor requires that you see the other person as not entirely inhuman. And I'm not saying that the paramilitaries shouldn't be disarmed or confronted or like I'm not saying that. I'm not offering this as a substitute for other kinds of action, but as an essential tool. If you have a bigger army than the paramilitaries, yeah, you can disarm them. You can imprison them. But do we have a bigger army than the totality of the perpetrating class on earth? Do we have a bigger army than the military industrial complex? We cannot overcome them by force. We need other tools. We have to spread the revolution to them, part of them, factions of them, and more importantly within each of them, there has to be a rebellion. So that even if they decide to crack down on the revolution, their heart isn't in it. I just read this thing about the Yellow Vests in France, you know, where there was an encounter between the militarized police and the protesters, and one of the police said, you know, I've nothing against you guys. I'm my family member sympathetic to the Yellow Vests, but I'm sworn to obey orders and to do my duty. And the Yellow Vests said, yeah, I've got nothing against you either. Yeah, you're one of us. And in that moment, okay, maybe they continued to play out their roles that were prescribed by the situation, but you could imagine as that consciousness grows, that when push comes to shove and the Yellow Vests ally with the communists and the immigrants and so on, and there's like a real popular uprising, you could see how those conversations generate a rebellion inside the ruling class, inside the soldiers, inside the police, even inside some of the elites. That is the only way that a transformation of society can happen. I was going to use the word revolution, but that's kind of loaded, you know, revolution seems to involve violence and the overthrow and, you know, making somebody the enemy, the bourgeoisie or something like that, I'm not so, so I actually would like to return to the original meaning of revolution, a turning, a turning. But maybe this turning is not a wheel but a spiral. So let's say that let's say the revolution. It can only happen if everybody participates, the kind of revolution that we really want. Everybody has to participate in some way or another, even those who we see as the enemy. They have to relent somehow, something has to touch their heart. They're not really in it. We have to be able to understand that, you know, really want to do this. There's a deep part of you that wants what I want. Maybe I don't know how to access that part of you, but I know it's there. And when I can actually see it, when I can put down the veil of my judgments that establish me as good and right and you as bad and wicked, if I can put those down and I can actually see the part of you that wants what I want, then I can speak to that part of you. When I can speak to that part of you, I can invite it into expression and I can ally with it. And then I do not need more guns and more armies than the military-industrial-imperial complex. And it's a revolution of everybody and there's no enemies, because I know you want it too.
