I'm happy to be there. Very honored. I'm going to be speaking about a topic that is very close to my heart and of course experience growth is the destination but what is inspiring us to get to inject this growth into the work we do is the starting point I want to talk about first of all do you remember when actually doing design was feeling more like cooking you needed to have good ingredient inspiration focus and a good recipe that was helping you telling a story through what you were doing you know sometimes I think it's not just for me but today it feels that function driven design is making us feel more like in a drive-through where everything has to be easy fast immediately resolved that it's somehow changing the way we're doing design and the way we're actually providing impact with our work you know I take one step back and I introduce myself I'm a designer from from Italy I'm trained as an industrial designer I'm a geek so I kind of got into digital very early and moved towards product design and service design as well so kind of an holistic perspective on what can be done in my last almost now 20 years of experience I kind of risked to spill my stresses on many different customer blueprints journeys wireframe sketches I landed in 2020 in sapient and there you know I thought a lot in also exploring how the dimension of what we can do with design can merge also with a new perspective of what technology can help us with doing and you know I think it's somehow for me this is what is important for what design truly is to me and what design should be doing design isn't just about the form of it the design is how it feels how it works what it means and the story our products and services tell I think it this is to me the most important thing that we need to consider when approaching a new program and you know I take these maybe because of course I was telling you I'm trained as an industrial designer I'm Italian as well so you can imagine that my background is filled with masters like Bruno Munari and Etore Sotsas that kind of taught me through my training how important it is to have a vision in what to do and you know at this time when they were working as designers that all was quite different from how we intended today and I want to just go back to these to ask the question on what our role should be especially now that we have artificial intelligence helping us to sort out the most let's say functional part of our work you know they were kind of using design to make societal impact to make statements that were not just designing you know the shape of a lamp or you know just just products they were kind of meeting a need a society had trying to tell their perspective on it and having a point of view that was the mean for them to meet brands that were like-minded and together with them build products and services that was making we were making the difference that were making statements that were changing lives but not only that because both of them they were also very much engaged they were also shaping education they were shaping storytelling they were active across different perspective of what design could mean why I go back to them because you know I know that more and more we're getting so much focused on the craft and execution to forget also our role into actually having the agency as designers to be having a point of view and to be actually using that point of view for shaping what we intend when we start the project that's another big point that I have at the moment in as a question in my career so human is my is the core of what we do but being human is so putting humans at the center doesn't mean to be human pleasers sometimes it feels like we just want to solve issues we want to be you know like those helicopter parents that are just caring about what do you need as a user what can I what can I do for you what can I solve in your daily in your daily life but you know solving I go back to the metaphor of the cooking it's not what we usually need as people we need you know we need perspectives we need things that allow us to you know to act and to feel you know fulfilled in what we do so we need platforms more than things that solve immediately our needs and if you think again about the metaphor I had from the drive-through you know if I just need to sort out my hungriness I just need sugar so I drive through you know a hamburger my sorted out but if I have to talk about a meal I remember it's difficult that I will mention that it's more likely that I will mention that restaurant where I had an amazing experience and I didn't get anything I was expecting and I didn't get any food that was let's say planned to be what I needed before entering the restaurant and you know I urge you to think about that when you start your design that that's somehow the spirit you need to take don't design just for replicability designed for building the experience that moves your customers that builds upon the tension and not only on the immediate need they have what they tell you they want to sort out I mean this is obvious but I think it these would be even more important as we have AI supporting us the good is something that we can resolve through a lot of means today thanks to technology thanks to modularity but what about the great that's where we need to focus that's the call that we get today we don't have to focus so much on just how we can use AI but what is our role when we can use AI how that requires us to be better to be different to be adding that perspective that moves us forward and it's gonna be more and more the challenge so before we will I had that of course the worry of everyone is about losing jobs you know the problem is more than that it's about you know being challenged more having to settle less for the average and having to prove that you're one step forward that something that can be sorted out by a machine that that's the real challenge we need to face and it's you know it's a tricky one but somehow to what I was telling you before it's also very fascinating one because it would urges to take our perspective and use them in what we do just not be in average just being different just being progressive just thinking about what's coming next and not what is that today I'll go back and I like this image because when we talk about design research and understanding customer needs and so forth sometimes it feels like that I don't know how it is for you but it's like okay I have this ten needs my client has okay let's sort them out one two three four five certain them all a lot of features for sorting them all and that's done my design is done it's covering all of the needs I've I've retrieved but that again is not where we want to work I believe a lot in the power of agency that is twofold agency you know is the fact that as humans we tend to be willing to do things to act upon things on one side is a mindset for us as designers what I was telling you before we are not just doing things we have an intention we decided to be designers because we wanted to have an impact let's think about the type of impact let's think about the philosophy behind our ways of working that has some hours to be a bit individual it's not just collective it has to be the vision we want to bring into the work we do and on the other side as a design goal because as we were saying we want our users our customers not to just be using our things but to be inspired through the projects the products the services we build experiences we design into progressing into moving forward how we do that three things that that would be the ingredients to this recipe first of all intention building intention will be like just defining the road on which we work the second one is motivation that is the fuel that motivates us to of course to to start moving within this space and finally aspiration it is our no star where are we headed where is our customer headed when we design things if we consider these three aspects we are already going in the right direction but how to do that I'm gonna be taking a reverse approach so how we generate intention we generate it through frictions and I know this is weird for most of us because I think and I'm sure that 90% of our decks are filled with frictionless experience in a slide two or three usually but actually good frictions are first of all what will differentiate experiences that can be you know designed autonomously by any machine to what is actually intentionally designed by a human to create a custom experience and secondly it's the poses that allow you through an experience to stop and think and react as a customer to that experience that will be more and more something we will miss because I think all of you already used to be always in on the move with experiences you're you're having and the fact of having a pose it's more and more actually not used anymore to so I take an example here I'm talking about was mentioned in my tech I'm talking about Amplifon I've been working with with Amplifon for this last three years Amplifon is the largest hearing aid retailer globally we've been working with them on what is the full digital ecosystem for them and as you can imagine it starts as a friction because their customers are elderly people so it's not like digital is their first their first interface and overall the very point of differentiation for Amplifon is actually the retail in-person experience so what we've been building is a full ecosystem for both the patients and the audio the audiologists to try and reduce the time required for them to be tracking things and gathering information in order for them to gain more time of in-person interactions and it's a different perspective for digital designer because usually you want your tool to be front and center to be the only thing that they see to design an app that they will always have in their hands and being interactive continuously in this case it's quite the opposite we were designing something that had to be less intrusive that that to be more reassuring for a very particular type of customer and especially for the audiologist that didn't have to take their time from the actual importance that was interacting with the patient another thing another experience in this case it was very interesting and this case was really building up on frictions was this experience we designed for having people to try and experiment what it means to be hearing impaired you know one of the biggest issues with people with hearing impairment is the stigma they feel of course worried to be sharing their issue because people with hearing impairment still today are made are feeling like that there will be jokes about the issue rather than feeling like it's something that needs to be solved and so here this work was to help people to feel what it really means to have this issue through a digital experience understanding what it means to be skipping words to not being able to fully understand the context to feel isolated while we're talking and this is helping a lot in having these people communicate with their family with their loved ones and making them understand what it actually feels like to be hearing impaired and finally of course we have we have built a design system so it's componentized but again where I want to take the friction part is that it is componentized but we've worked a lot in order to create automation but also you know small elements of complexity that allow us to move from a very plain design to something that as you can see it's a bit more complex with different typography really with with simple small complications more like when you think about the design of a Swiss watch the system is designed to allow to move from simplicity to complexity depending the context the customer type the moment in the journey so that again not everything feels the same so through your experience with the brand you can have different moments of interaction depending on the type of customer you are and the moment in which you're experiencing second topic we are at the field point we're talking about motivation and in this case of course we went beyond the fact that it's not said that we need to be frictionless in this case we talk about working through constraints and to me you know constraints will now was talking about the agents of the designer is a good exercise against ourselves because sometimes we go in automatic mode when we get a brief so we really know what is the best pattern for solving something we know what are best in class apps that are doing the same things best in class services you do a nice benchmark you take the best from that benchmark and you try to replicate that one exercise I always take us with my team is to try and put ourselves complications and constraints like okay what if we look at the benchmark we do everything that a benchmark is doing but like we have something that no one has done before and we need to sort it out anyhow even if it's not something already in the brief in this case for example when we talk about constraints the first word that I would talk always about is the automotive space I took about a project where we were thinking about redesigning configurators we've done it for many brands and through these experiences what we've learned is that as you can see configurators all look the same because they're platform-driven because they're so complex that you end up having always the same design patterns having the same structures also because it's very complicated to build a custom one but you know we asked ourselves but in an era where most configurators most configurations are starting on a mobile is it normal that most configurators are designed for desktop is it normal that when they get to mobile anyhow they're designed in landscape mode only because people in the product on the product side of automakers doesn't allow to think about cutting the picture of a car a bit but you know all of us I used to use our phones 99% in portrait mode so why we should be designing for changing our economy if we're not used to and that's the prototype we built so it was also for helping pushing forward the idea that from a technology perspective we needed to rethink this approach because strengths we chose was we need to design it for portrait it needs to be enabled by AI we wanted to be collaborative because most of configurators are just you and the tool and we wanted also to think about different filtering paradigm something that will allow both hyper technical people to be tuning the macro details but those two people that were just you know willing to play with a model to be doing that and as you can see the exercise was also a lot about injecting CGI and creating an experience that feels so our goal was why don't we use the same way you're adding filters to your pictures on your camera roll and use that paradigm before creating an interaction with a configurator no more just having to tune the little detail but just let's work through drivers because most of the people don't even know how many options they have to tune then of course there's people that are more you know passionate about that but we wanted to try and also as you can see sort out both people that wanted to change the detail and people that wanted to change the macro driver and through artificial intelligence we're also using collective information about what the choices are made from a majority of users to try and define automatically depending on the driver which is the color what are the packages you add what are the details you have depending on what the majority of other people that have chosen the same driver are doing much like you would use a prompt in any tool and here you see there's a second part is the sharing the configurator and having the possibility to tune it together with friends you know partner someone that will have to choose the car with you that will be able to create as you can see the different different recipes for creating your final configuration and ideally decide whether to merge them and create the best model for both of you and you know again I go back to the constraints because none of these would be feasible in a space where you want to go with the simplest solution but this is something that for automakers is super important because it's a branded asset it's the way your customer interact and discover your model in your car and you don't want to go with an average experience there you want to go with something that a customer will remember it's in a future where maybe you will go less and less to a dealership it will be an important part of your experience and that's it has to be memorable and differentiated it has to be a signature and that's where constraints help us build branding so last bit I want to talk about also when we talk about agency and the fact of acting it's not always good when we talk about agency we are used to these these pictures are coming from any of our social feeds I don't know if you know about part social agency but to me that's like the nemesis of the type of agency as designers we should be building part social agency is the type of feeling you get from looking at other people that are acting that makes you feel like okay with yourself like you have done your thing like you see someone building a Lego and it makes you feel reassured or you see someone else making a recipe and it feels for you like you have done it at the end of the day you kind of feel tired when you've spent your life scrolling your instagram or tiktok feed through this type of content and that's you know something that is preventing us from having that good agency I was talking about something that makes us feel the actors in in our life and that's where I'm saying as designers we have the duty to be helping society our customers to be focusing more on this latter positive agency rather than this one because this one is something that already exists it's something we are used to because all of our digital experiences feel like something that that is addictive and those frictions is that again allow us to be posing and thinking and acting and going also out sometimes from digital space it's not bad it can happen even if we're digital designers last part we talk about the resonance and I think in this case a different bit I'm talking about digital design earlier this last part is about also consulting I want to talk about aspiration as bringing beauty to what we do and beauty has been something in the last year years 10 15 has been completely cancelled from the design space it's been pushed to brand and marketing as if in design it was against the functionalism talking about the fact that our experiences had to be beautiful and when I say beautiful take it really in a you know very wide sense I mean beautiful in a sense that it's moving people that it's inspiring people that it's something that you'd remember that that you like and in this case I want to tell you that it's not just about products and use of course we talk about crafting stuff that should be differentiated but I'm talking about creating a different way into consulting into creating artifacts that move organizations through beauty that allow to story tell the change that organization need to take by using you know beautiful wrapping to to navigate through the organization in the right hands and having an impact and you know it's super important to be doing that because whenever we deliver 150 slides of pyramids and maps and charts and customer journeys they just land on someone computer and they don't move from there we have wasted our time and in this case thinking about storytelling impact is so much important it's so important for any type of brand but of course particularly when we really want to have a transformational impact finally the point is of course about again going back to the title of my talk so growth why I took this long digression because for building growth I believe that the experience lab approach requires focusing on what is sustainable for an organization and the sustainability is delivered just through meaning so if we really put focus and agency in what we do we can actually help organizations create things that have meaning that are used for longer the last longer for for their customers and therefore are automatically sustainable because they won't have to change so quickly and abruptly because they're not thought they're not future proof they're not thinking about such evolution what we do is I mean this is a strategy at Sapien so we we try and and of course make as much as possible the connection between the different capabilities so speed in this case stands for strategy product experience engineering and data partnering together in order to deliver such type of meaning to our customers of course today I'm representing experience I'm going to be talking a bit partially about the role of experience in this in this ecosystem and sometimes it feels like being this girl here the middle sibling because you're there in the middle between your serious strategy and product colleagues and you know the the data and engineering teams that are instead of course rooting for for tangibly building things and you're there orchestrating the elements of value that connect across these different disciplines somehow understanding as a middle child how to gather the attention of everyone through maybe sometimes small tricks like for example before I was saying creating beautiful artifacts for for crafting their attention into acting positively I couldn't close without an AI slide but just because I wanted to also reconnect it to what we were saying before I don't want to for you to catch the point that I'm against AI quite the opposite I'm just saying that the more we are in the system where AI is so important to our ways of working we need to make sure that we are not creating noise we're not adding the noise our scope is to go down in that pyramid and be using AI to create signals to create differentiated product to create differentiated services and for doing that if you see the role we need to get to use our vision for alimenting this this type of approach we need to have a style that is nuanced we need to ask for highly selected datasets for be working with AI we need to be asking for more we'll have to be the ones rooting for working on the great instead of the good because no one else will be doing that it's going to be our role to be making sure that we're not creating more let's say trash products and services in a very crowded ecosystem so closing here I think for me the message is this so what is about our role this middle child role let's never be content let's try and be always as much as we can bold with what to do let's not be afraid of doing that let's go back to those designers I was mentioning to you before they were not afraid of being bold because they knew what they wanted to to bring to society they had a clear mindset so they weren't afraid of stating that and most and all let's question patterns they're not stated patterns are something we learn we are able to learn new patterns of course in a reasonable way but let's again try and push for creating new patterns rather than just settle for the ones existing that is all thank you any questions okay can you pass the mic here please introduce yourself then the question hello thank you hi everyone my name is Riddhuma and I'm from Deloitte and thanks Laura for the amazing talk so you asked me to introduce myself I'm a six month old baby to UX so and I'm very new I come from an illustration background and this is a playground for me a lot of fun good great exposure so forgive me if my question comes from an uninformed state I wanted to understand what your first slide meant about generating intentions through friction that caught my attention but I don't think I was able to comprehend that very quickly sorry can you repeat the first part generating intention through friction would you be able to elaborate it's uh it's mostly about creating through this slowing down in the experience design creating the intention for the person who's interacting with your systems to be willing to go forward not to go you know heads down forward just because it's simple but because they intentionally want to interact with your system and frictions allow to create it's not roadblocks but just parts of the experience that's low down the flow you know we tend to instead just build everything so that it's as fast as possible and that you can go very quickly by the end of the flow and you know we've all been there like for example when building a an e-commerce cart removing all frictions is the best because you want your customer to buy everything to buy everything in one second but again think it from a societal perspective do you really want people to just be buying things heads down without reason maybe you want to understand and specify those moments where actually this purchase is intentional in the experience and I know it's it's tricky to be presented to a client as a perspective but it helps I go I go so extreme to making this example of the cart to make understand what it means to start injecting moments in which you're evaluating what you're doing and making sure as a customer you're you have actual intent in what you're doing okay so what I've been reading theoretically on books is that uh learnability and friction so to say should be reduced in terms of time reduction I mean they should not be able to spend time a lot on the product and it should be fast paced right so this thought approach seemed a little counterintuitive though intriguing so did you ever feel that your consumers were not comfortable with the friction that you were introducing to them through the product well not not actually because of course you get to define the friction once you have defined the macro ecosystem I think the point is what is your role as designer if it's just creating the thing or consulting your client so sometimes you just I mean I take again example I was making to you okay we focus on just maximizing the the sales in the cart but maybe you have a medium to long-term vision and makes you understand it for that brand putting that friction and having that pose brings value to the brand itself because it's allowing people to be more conscious about the fact that they're buying through that brand it's not amazon it's that brand that is selling you the thing and it's creating a relationship so of course you need you need to prove it you need to support it with strategic data but just for making you the example that it's not always said that that speed is the solution thanks I love it thank you anybody else any question we'll take one more question yeah here yes please yeah so I have a question I really first thing I really like the analogy of are we humanists or are we trying to just human pleasers I can't hear so much yeah so can you hear me now yeah so I really like the one that you where you questioned are we just human pleasers and also we were talking about business impact so sometimes as a designer it feels like we're always working in isolation in the sense that it's only us who is always trying to bring this perspective but I'm sure that even our non-design colleagues are trying to create a good product right so how do we kind of go from this constant battle of like tech first or design first to starting to speak a common language so first of all of course I mean the speed perspective I was mentioning it's all about trying to work all together on these where of course somehow still the rows remain because each of us has its own angle that it's bringing to the table you know more and more what I'm seeing is that business optimization and technology standardization of the platforms is kind of killing completely this fact of being exploring in design but it's because we are not getting as early as possible into having an impact so somehow this fact of learning how to speak business and technology in order to have that impact as early as possible and not be talking about just the needs resolved but as I was making this example now trying to say okay let's not use the standard cart we need to change it we all know that changing a cart is a nightmare for any client and any technology platform because they have the standard approach but what if you are able to focus and partner with strategy to build a business case for doing that and you need to be the one suggesting that you can't just be heads down designing it so yeah you need to you need to upstream a bit but it's worth it thank you


Well with the late winter it was a crazy regular season for high school sports in Minnesota, but things are finally back to normal as playoffs are underway for area softball teams. We're past the plan round, so even the teams that fall today will have a chance to claw their way back two states in the consolation bracket. Get things started with 5A, Cebica hosting Walker Hackensack-Akely, Cebica up 6-2 in the fifth, they'll add to that. Morgan Palmer lines one into left for the RBI, Megan Hanoe comes home to make it 7-2. Next inning same score, they would add to that lead. Single up the middle gets past the pitcher, past the second baseman, Tori Lee comes from second, beats the throw to score to put them up 8-2. Last chance for Walker, Katie Benjamin, the blooper to first, second baseman snags that up Mackenzie Nelson, they end that with a win 8-2 Cebica moving on in the winners bracket.

Using ESO's flagship very large telescope, along with other telescopes around the world, a team of European astronomers has discovered the most distant quasar ever recorded. By studying this blazing beacon in detail, the scientists have found that we are seeing this quasar at a time when the universe was just 770 million years old. This means that the light from the quasar took 12.9 billion years to reach us. Never before has a brighter object been observed this far back into the early universe. This is the ESOcast, cutting-edge science and life behind the scenes of ESO, the European Southern Observatory, exploring the ultimate frontier with our host Dr J, aka Dr Joe Liske. Quasars are very brilliant distant galaxies powered by supermassive black holes at their centres. These amazing objects have the massive millions of suns crammed into spaces as small as our solar system. Quasar phenomenon transforms ordinary galaxies into what astronomers have fittingly dubbed angry monsters, the most luminous of all objects in the universe. And ESO's very large telescope, better known as the VLT, helped to discover the farthest of these impressive objects ever observed. Back in the early universe, galaxies contained much more gas and dust than we see in them today. Gradually, material was used up in the formation of stars and planets, and less was available to feed the supermassive black hole, the process that creates the impressive jets of a quasar. Objects far back in the early universe, like the newly recorded quasar, cannot be observed in visible light. By the time it reaches our detectors on Earth, the expansion of the universe has stretched the light so much that it falls mainly into the infrared part of the spectrum. In addition, quasars in the early universe are extremely rare, and so in order to find this object in the first place, the team of astronomers had to spend five years painstakingly examining huge lists of objects from an infrared survey made by the UCUR telescope, before they finally struck gold. With such an exciting discovery, the team could take no chances. They had to validate their findings. Using the Force II instrument on the VLT, along with instruments on the Gemini North telescope, a redshift of 7.1 was confirmed. This corresponds to such an extraordinary distance that it took the light from the quasar 12.9 billion years to reach us. Despite the vast distance, the quasar's extreme brightness made it possible to identify other characteristics using the same two telescopes. It was determined that the black hole powering the quasar has a mass of about 2 billion times that of our own Sun. This is an extraordinary mass for an object so early in the universe. Since current estimates say there should only be around 100 bright quasars at this distance across the entire sky, finding this object was a huge challenge. It was a great bonus that it has proved to be even more distant than the astronomers expected. This quasar is a vital probe into the early universe and will help us understand how black holes grew just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.


Hello everyone, this is Mr. P. This is our lesson number four on transition words of the series, How to write an opinion essay. Now, if you haven't watched lesson number one, lesson number two, lesson number three, I suggest watching. In those lessons we talked about the introductory paragraph, hook, background, and most importantly thesis statement, lesson number two, we talked about the body paragraphs, the topic sentence, detail sentences, and conclusion sentence. Lesson number three, we talked about the conclusion, we reviewed the thesis statement, reviewed the topic sentences, and we gave a final conclusion sentence by adding a suggestion, opinion, or prediction. This lesson we're going to review the essay, and we're going to add transition words or modify the transition words that are there already. So first off, we're going to talk about the thesis statement just to review that. It is the main idea about the topic adding one, two, three, or more reasons. It is made up of the topic, the general subject of the essay, controlling idea, your opinion, belief, view, feeling about the topic, and subtopics, the areas you will focus on to support your idea. It will answer the question of the prompt given in just one sentence. Please avoid writing I believe in my opinion, I think, etc. Now this is the essay that I wrote. We have a title, as you can see, we have three paragraphs, so it's a three-paragraph essay with an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. In the introductory paragraph, we have a thesis that will be your last sentence of your introduction. It is in yellow with a star, then we have indented all paragraphs, and I have highlighted the transition words. In fact, however, furthermore, additionally, in conclusion, or else. Let's define transition words. They are also called linking words, transition words are used to link words, obviously, phrases or sentences. They help the reader to progress from one idea expressed by the writer to the next idea. Thus, they help to build up a coherent relationship within the text. It is like a bridge between ideas. Let's look at the groups of transition words. We have additive transitions. These show addition, introduction, similarity, or other ideas. Now I listed some of them. There's so, so many. So here we have indeed, also, in fact, or such as, for example, considering as for equally likewise, namely in other words. Adversative transitions. These are used to signal conflict, contradiction, concession, dismissal. But however, while, above all, besides still yet, despite at any rate, either way, or rather, at least. Cozal transitions. This signal cause, effect, and reason, or result. Being that, for, as, granted, if, unless, hence, therefore, in order to, lest, otherwise, in that case. Sequential transitions. These are used to signal a chronological or logical sequence. Initially, to start with, previously, after, then, in conclusion, finally, by the way, thus, to resume, and anyhow. Now, this is my essay sample. So I highlighted, like I said, the transition words. I even highlighted the body paragraph at the beginning, just to show that we are missing a transition word. What we're going to do now is to try and change the transition words, or add transition words. For example, in the body paragraph, we need to add transition words. So I would like you to pause the video and give me your answers. Then we're going to check with a sample. Now, it can be different from yours. There is no, no right answer. Just, you can, there are so many transition words that can be, can be replaced by the ones that you have originally on the essay. Now, if you have paused the video, we have the key here. And this is just an example, like I said, maybe yours will be different. So let's review and read the essay. Who does not possess a cell phone nowadays? As a matter of fact, and here we have replaced the transition word that was given, almost everybody has some sort of machine at hand, be it computers, cars, or even washing machines. Even though machinery was devised to benefit mankind, it has also brought along the distraction to our environment. Now here, I added for one thing. You can even add another transition word. It doesn't have to be for one thing. For one thing, technological equipment was never programmed to damage nature per se. Nevertheless, it has backfire and it is causing harm to our environment. Many people are careless about leaving their laptops on for long periods of time. Moreover, they do not seem aware of the fact that all this energy and electricity consumption is dangerous to not only our local environment, but to the world as a whole. On top of that, it is the over usage of machinery, big or small, that is bringing our society ever closer to global warming. And we must stop this trend. In summary, as technology has improved our lives in general, it has had a toll to our environment. Possessing too many kinds of machinery, such as laptops and phones, or even consuming too much of their energy and battery, is beginning to get out of hand and needs to be controlled. Otherwise, technology will take over our lives and destroy our planet. So, I hope you understood this video. If you have any questions about the video, about the essay, please write them under it.

Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the match preview knowledge city versus Everton, a huge opportunity for Everton to get three points at the bottom team in the Premier League and you know, I'm not saying those words massively confident about them but a huge opportunity for Everton to get a Premier League win in 2022. And simply, you know what, you can scratch it on the surface but Everton should be winning a game like this, like I've got to be winning a game like this. Absolutely, got to win. It's as simple as that. We've been on a horrific run. We've won one game since we last beat them. They called us on September 25th, which is embarrassing. And the manager's under huge pressure, absolutely huge pressure, the manager's under them. That goes far as saying if they lose Saturday, you know, they're expecting to be shocked. That expected doesn't mean it would happen. Because this can simply can't continue. He's ran out of excuses as far as I'm concerned. There's no way to go now other than starting to win games. And this has got to be the first place we go and win. They're struggling. They lost again. It's a West Ham, 2-0. So it's up to us to go there and to say it ourselves. We've got more than enough in the team to beat them. Unless we get it right at the back, then we're going to make our own problems again. We've conceded the first goal, I think, in the last eight games or something. I think it was one of the things that's read out a lot whatever the mental games. It's been quite a few. It's not good. It's not good enough. No. No.  Not a couple of games and I think I've got four draws and they've picked up ten points. We've only picked up six. So they're the form team going into this game. I don't think they've scored in the last six, like they got beat last night, as I said, to West Ham. They've scored eight goals all season. Yeah, when we played in the goodness and it wasn't massively convincing, certainly at 1-0. We deserved to win, but only, you know, it was a bit of a slog wasn't it that day. Sadly, we just have to make, you know, we just have to stop making mistakes and doing things and making sure we do things properly. And I think if we do that, we should be all right for me. You know, you just mentioned it, going behind, starting game slow. We have to put all that to bed. We have to and, you know, this has got to be the game.  So we've got to go and we've got to put them to the sword and hopefully we'll have players, you know, Dominic Arvill, hopefully he's available. We've seen him back in training. So that's good. You know, Michael Enkel's got a game under his belt. You know, it'll be interesting to see what he does on the other side of Paterson. It'll be interesting to see what he does with the form agent. But we've got to get older this game. We've got to get control of it early on and not give them a sniff because let's get it right. Norwich will see this as a game that they can win. They will be looking at the games that they've got and go, evidence, massive trouble. Haven't won an away game since August in the Premier League. They'll be looking at it and think, and this is a game we can take points from. If the crowd get behind us, which the will, the crowd of road always get behind them, they'll be thinking, we can win this game. If we get in front, these will fall to bits. These have got issues. And that's what everyone has got to avoid on Saturday. They've got to go in there and start the game well. They have to. Got to. I've just said they've only scored eight goals all season. They can see the 44. So they're not great at either end. And it's up to us to show our quality. And there's been times this season when we've shown it. There's been games we've lost where we've done all right in bits.  That was a ridiculous goal or a mistake or not picking up a runner or a set piece. And you're behind, or you've given a team encouragement. We've lost games you should never have lost. But it doesn't mean anything. It's all about the points. And we've got to go out. I think we've only scored five times or five goals in the first half against this season.  It's absolutely awful. These things have got to start being addressed by the manager and by the players. You know, there's big pressure on the manager. Obviously Llywge Dines left. And has had thrown a couple of digs. He's wiped my hands, had the shame. And that has just cranked up the pressure on the manager. And so the team have got to go out and perform. And you've got to make sure that he picks the right team. He picks the team to go out and win the game. And you get on the front foot early and put knowledge under pressure. Because if anything takes the lead, when you're down at the bottom, there is the tendency to go, there we go again. You know, and they're not high on confidence. Regardless of saying the crowd will get behind them and you can see there's a game they can win. They go behind in the game that they feel like they can win. It's there we go again and it's up to ever meant to be able to defend properly and put them to bed. So it's week 22 of Ultimate Fandas a Prize. That's a five thousand pounds. The packs have dropped. Let's go in and let's pick my team. There you go. Charleston, is he going to be available for Everton this weekend? I'm thinking he probably won't be available for Everton this weekend. So who am I going to put in his place? Difficult on this because I've got to replace Salah as well. So I'm going to put Kevin the Bruin in the team. Most Salah, who am I going to replace him with? Well, I'm going to go for Romelu Lukaku. Surely it's about time he started scoring some goals for Chelsea. He's got over his little spat with him and I'm thinking he might get the goals this week. I've got Manchester City as my team. They going in as well. They are playing Chelsea. It is a difficult game for them, but I'm putting them in him in it as well. Phil Foden, is he carrying a knock? Will he be available? I'm going to put in Tealmans for him. I don't want to have too many Manchester City players in there. So I think that looks alright. Bruno Fernandez, he hasn't been in great form recently. He's sort of been put out of joint by Ronaldo, not being in his best form. So I'm going to put Sacher in there. He's been doing well for Arsenal recently. I know they got beaten a couple last week, but I'm going to put him in there. And whom are we going to put? Golden Boot. I'm going to go for Lukaku and the captain. I'm going to go for Kevin De Bruyne. So there you go. That's my team this week for Ultimate Fan.

Because these next few games now, the next four or five in the league and the cup, they're winnable. The games that you look at in the season go, these are very winnable games. These are the points you've got to pick up if you wanted to finish in a European place or whatever. And it's the same now. We've been promised, literally promised by the manager and the CEO that the second half of the season would be better because we're getting new players in and because players are coming back from injury. This is where it starts. Or maybe it started a whole last week. This is now in the Premier League where it starts. One Premier League game so far this year. Obviously we've got beef. But we have to go there because it isn't actually acceptable to get anything but three points at knowledge because they are a poor side. And that's not me saying we're a good side by the way, but they are a poor side. Heaven, I've got better players. I've got better players and they've got to show that and that's down to the manager and it's down to those players to find a bit of professionalism, cut out the mistakes. For me it comes down to the start, get out the blocks early and really put them under pressure from the start. And I think the formation will play a big part in that. Would you be looking to go 4-3-3 for this game to get older that midfield, get a dominant midfield? Because what I saw from the Gooderson was actually a team that weren't too bad in possession but it was at the other end of the pitch or the two ends of the pitch. But in the middle of the park I thought they were alright at Gooderson. They do get older the more I think for us I think we have to get older that area, not just in this game but in every game. Yeah, I think Norman didn't play in midweek so I'm open. He's not fit at it because he was really good at Gooderson. But everything, I've got to have three men in my field as far as I'm concerned. Five at the back is not working for us, whether it works long term. I don't know if it's not working. Right now we're still all over the place. The people can make excuses for the manager saying he's trying it because he doesn't trust this, he's trying to put another defender in. It's not working. It's simply not working so I'd go 4-3-3 and probably you'd have to start going with me, going with me all on the court in the middle of the park and then I've grey. Time's in to fit again now. This is the problem isn't it? I mean the intent is you might be to go 4-3-1 which is what he started the season with. With Damari greu'n in the 10 and then Gordon off the left and Time's in on the right. But he could play 4-3-3 with Time's in to fit in the middle of the field but he did against Spears. Gordon on the right and Grey on the left. Time's in was one of the three men in the field so we could do that. But we've got to make sure that we get in, we get older and we're difficult to break down. I think you can do that more with three men in the field you can block the passing lanes off, you can make it a 4-5-1 at Time's and then try to hit them on the counter. We've got to get older the game in the middle of the park simply because you're playing 3 at the back or 5 whichever way you look at it. But the problem is once the ball gets into that zone, that final zone, we cause our own problems whether it be set pieces or just defending full stop. We've got to start catching teams higher up the pitch, not letting them get chances, not letting them get into an area because defensively you're a mess. Stop giving cheap corners away, cheap free kicks on the edge of the box. Win the ball in the middle of the park and start winning higher up the pitch and starting to use our counter attack. Our plays with Peish, whether it be Damari, Grey, whether it be Gordon, whether Time's in this playing, whoever it is. And then if Dominic Arving starts the game, which we all hope he does, then start using his ability to hold the ball up and stretch teams. For me it's how we approach the game. If we approach the game where we sit back and say we're going to counter attack, we're going to cause our own problems because I think back to the Crystal Palace game, that was the big problem in that game. We sat back thinking I will catch these because we're not defensively stable enough. We just cause our own problems.  You have to be able to defend whether it be the edge of your box. We've proved we can't do that so we have to start getting hold of the ball in the middle of the park and that's our starting point then. If you lose some kind of creativity, we haven't got any creativity in there anyway so we might want to have another play then. Whether it is Time's in coming over and joining or whether it's Gomez, so we've got maybe some on the ball a little bit better. We have to change things up because it's not working and as I said, I don't think there's any excuses anymore Bas, like you said. I think we're coming now to a point where we've got this game away and we've got Villaradol and after that an international break and for a lot of people it's 6 points, be 6 points up. For a lot of people it'll just be why didn't you go last week but for me I look at it and think you've got to win one of these games and you can't lose either. Because that international break could be a big crunch point for this football club because they're going to have to make a decision because we can't keep going it's going to be alright. If you start getting into a situation where you start running out of games and you're like oh it's alright because he's coming back next week and he's coming back next week and he'll be fit and all that, doesn't work like that at all. No-one else has stood still have they? No-one's got them, we'll pause till those players are back. We've got to get points now, games are running out, everything can still have it. Everything can have a decent second half of the season but it's what's saying, it's one thing, you've got to do it. This is a game that's there for the taking and if you get it right with the formation and the players put the effort in like they did at Chelsea like they did against Arsenal, they'll win the game and it'll make everyone feel better. We'll move on to 22 points and you can start going, you've got Villa next week and Villa I think you've got United at the weekend if we were to beat Norwich and United be filler on the same points then you're going into that next game and go to some level with them and then they'll be playing so there'll be a point of approach. It changes the atmosphere if everyone gets beat at the weekend, going into that fill again going oh my god. But I'm a bit like you in my head, I think how do you survive getting beat by Norwich? How do you survive as a manager getting beat by Norwich? You're all out of excuses and the angle will just boil over so I think he's got to win. He's got to win otherwise I think he'll be gone, in my opinion he should be gone and we're going to have to go out and make sure we get that win because it's the halfway point for us on Saturday, the 19th game. We've got 19 points after 19 games and it doesn't go very well. The new castle of Bailey are playing each other as well. There's some bad games. So you've got that thing where you've got all of those where if they're getting points you just need to draw us in every other game don't you? You just need three points. Let's have a little look at Norwich's team at Feich West Ham. So 4, 2, 3, 1. Again it's Pucky isn't it?  I'm not sure you've marked what's the run of him but we should be able to exploit their back line. We did a goodness in Brandon Williams playing left back. He's got the pace but he's all right foot. Max Arans leaves big gaps in behind him. Hanley's one of the centre backs. He's got Ben Gibson played there. He's not very mobile at all. Everything can exploit it. It's making sure we get older about. I'm not sure you can tell them apart but you've got to get older about first. You can't give them any encouragement. If we could go out and establish ourselves in the game early on, I think we could put them to the show. That's exactly what we've got to do. Let's just have a little look at Pookie's numbers. She is the danger man. 19 appearances, 19 starts, 5 goals, no assists. We have a 1.6 shot per game. He is the danger man, he's always the danger man because he's the focal point for them. He hasn't got loads of pace, which is why when he scores loads in the championship and that extra level of quality when you come up it's more difficult. We've got to make sure that we don't give them any room to run into them. That's what it's about. We should be looking to go here and beat these three little shots and go really put these to bed and let's move on. I think you've got to go then, you've got to act like you're in a false position. Nothing we are in a false position by the way, but you've got to act that way haven't you?  We're actually a good side. We've had terrible injuries which is why the way we are and we're about to now show you all that we're a good side. That's how you have to do it. You've got to do it, but the manager's got to be instilled into the players and you've got to get some enthusiasm into these players and give them that confidence. That comes from him and he doesn't instill fans with confidence but he's got to start instilling players with confidence and players have got to be happy to play the way he wants them to play and there has to be something there. I haven't looked into complete, just their second Premier League double over now. The last one was in the 2004 or 2005 campaign. Donkscore. I beat them one in the round in me. I haven't lost their last two Premier League games against promoted sides. Only twice in the competition have they had longer runs. Four between September 2000 and 2001, February 2001 and four between April and November 2019. Nor did you have lost each of their last 18 Premier League games against the six ever-present sides in the competition. You've taken just five points in the last 45 available in the Premier League home games. One-one through two lost 12. You've only scored five goals in that time. After taking four points in the first two away games this season, Evan picked up just two more in the seventh since, two draws and five defeats. Those two draws were Manchester United and Chelsea, which is crazy. The scored in his last two Premier League games against Norwich, September 2019 and in the game earlier in the season. The Mariglain, Dominic Alvalun, scored in each of Evan's first four away goals in the Premier League net and two each. Since then the Toffees four away goals in the competition have been netted by different players. Time's in the will be run, run, run the way. We've scored four away goals since the Brighton game. That's it. There you go. But I do think if we can get it right defensively, that's obviously where it starts. It's where it starts, isn't it? This is a chance for us to win. Keep a clean sheet and I think we'll get the three points. Simple as that. Three-nil when, please, Evan. It's just been normal. It's just been like a side that, you know, Arsenal would beat them five in a lady of the week. Just go there and get a goal. It's just been normal. Just been normal. Just win a game like three-nil. Be three-nil up ar a three and then just be a boring next ball. That'll be nice. It will be nice. There you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments on this one. Are you nervous?

Mike, thank you very much for joining us. How is your leg feeling? Are you 100% and How do you expect to be used this season?  So, you know, I'm ready to go I'm excited to be back and You know, that stuff seems to always kind of work itself out. So Whatever the role is, I'm happy to fill it. Thank you James Wagner go ahead and unmute you've got the next question Hey, Mike, what's up? Hope you and the family are well Just like two questions. First of all, what's it just feel like to be playing baseball during this pandemic?  Were you able to find anywhere to hit and stay in shape? So early in quarantine I had I bought a tee and like a catch net and I was just hitting the backyard a little bit And I'd work out at home We have just some very basic stuff, but you know, I felt like I was able to kind of just maintain where I wanted to and then as You know a little bit of time passed I was able to get into you know a private gym and you know, I felt that if I was you know go in and wipe down the equipment I was using and You know kind of try to limit my time there and limit my interaction. I could you know safely work out and You know hit take the next question from Sweeney Murdy Sweeney Hey Mike, are you finding that the pitchers are ahead of the hitters if you guys as a group talked about that and Is there enough time for guys who feel that way to catch up with two weeks till the opener? Yeah, I think Garrett Cole's ahead of everybody You look really good the other day You know, I think that's kind of what happens every spring training that now just in in the Some of the velocity prerequisites it takes just to pitch in the big leagues now I think you know the game's getting a little bit younger and guys are going harder. So, you know, whereas You know, even as bad as far back as like 2016 that was my first major league spring training, you know guys were Maybe it was a little bit more even early on but now when you know, you have Some like 1920 21 year olds throwing 98 miles an hour in their first live bullpen I think they hit the pitchers are always gonna have an advantage early and they always have an advantage as it is like You hit 30% of time you're pretty good. So You know, I think that these inner squad's been great You know one of the advantages to facing our pitching is that it's You know, they're just running out all star after all star elite arm after elite arm So, you know, I think that that's gonna help us adjust pretty quickly You know for when


Let's welcome in, as we call her, Miss Do Everything for this Stevenson team because she is in the middle of seriously everything that is going on and she goes and gets the ball, she brings it up herself and it seems like at this point she wants to go to the scoring too, like it just seems as if the game went on that she wanted to get in and say, I'll go put it on goal, the heck. She is Jamie Bittner. Jamie, how important, what Kathy was just talking about, the energy that you're showing to this freshman class and you see what they're bringing to the table, how important is it for you to be that leader for this group? I think it's really important. I mean, there are new group of girls and nice fresh group of girls. They're willing to learn, their energy is contagious, like Coach said, but I mean, it's my responsibility to help lead those girls. If my energy's down, their energy's gonna be down and I mean, I'm showing every day as much as I can that I'm fighting for them and they're fighting for me in return. So that's all I can ask of them. My question for you is this, Jamie, that a lot of weird things happened in that first half. How did you guys handle that on the field? It was hard to keep everything on the energy in a positive note, but I mean, if I can't keep my composure, then how can I expect my team to? So it was all about composure at that point. I think Mack stepped up in that aspect, even though she got caught up in some stuff, she helped keep everybody's heads on their shoulders. I mean, there's not much we can really do when the refs are gonna be making the calls there and we just have to adjust. Yeah, Jamie, I was joking about it, but is there a part of you and a part of some of the other players in the team that say, how can I help? What can I do when the offense isn't clicking the way that you want it to be? Can I get more involved? Can I bring the ball down and help out in that way? We've seen you do it before. Is that something that you're trying to put on your shoulders a little bit? I mean, of course, we're always thinking about it and I think the person we took definitely in our transition today was getting two of us, me and Sarah, up the field faster and quicker, trying to be a part of that transition and if we had an opportunity to get the goal, we'll take it, why not? Well, I thought that coach and us just talked about this, but that the defensive unit played so well today really played great team defense, particularly in the first half. So did you feel that on the field as well? I cannot be more proud that we prevented them from scoring a goal when we were down by two. That's unreal. We came into the locker room at halftime on fire about that, so. Just gotta build from there, obviously. And we talked about this quick turnaround to play on Wednesday night. I guess that's the, when you lose a game like this, you kinda wanna get on the field as quickly as possible and try to watch that taste out of your mouth, right? Right, right, Washington College, we were ready for them. They last year, they did us a little bit dirty, so this year, we're ready, we're ready for them. How much is this team going to be better for going through this tough stretch and playing some of the tough teams that y'all played? Obviously, you played two top 10 teams so far this season. How much do you think this is gonna help this team down the road? I think, and we do it every year, we play tough teams in the beginning and once we come and we face Messiah and LVC in our conference play, we get the job done. So I would rather play tough teams now and get that experience for our younger girls and then once we get in the conference play, we take care of business. She has misdew everything that she does at all, Jamie Bittner. I know it's a tough day today, but I appreciate you coming up and chatting with us for a couple of minutes afterwards. Thank you guys. Absolutely, we'll come back in, we'll wrap things up here on the All Access Post Game show on the Mustang Sports Network, powered by sfmsports.net.

That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Residents in this region have become more health-conscious. As a result, you can find fitness-related events basically every weekend, and this weekend is no exception. As the City of Prestonsburg sets to host a health and wellness event that will cater to a variety of fitness enthusiasts. I got with Tabby from Foxy Fitness, and I got with Tara from Fifth Ages. We came together with a plan. Don Fields is going to have a bike ride on that day, where the permitting Josh Turner, I think, is going to take some on the mountain bikes. Karen is going to take some on the trail here in town, the Garfield Trail. And then about 11 o'clock we're going to meet back together and we'll have the Kentucky's largest group fitness workout ever. The City of Prestonsburg has been developing their adventure tourism. And as a result, they've not only seen an increase in tourism, but an increase in healthy residents. Hiking, biking, paddling, running, and we have the perfect place. This is the best place in the world for what we do. And, you know, I really want to go on record as saying, and I don't have figures to back this up. But I've said this and I believe it. I think that per capita, Prestonsburg probably has more people exercising than any city in Kentucky. Per capita.

Attention five points residents. This is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi I'm technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department. The sex offender registration and compliance unit at DPD is responsible for the registration monitoring and tracking of all registered sex offenders and sexually violent predators who live in the city and county of Denver. Here's a brief history of sex offender legislation in Colorado. Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994 we had the Jacob Wetterling Act which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Megan's law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations and the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across a country. In Colorado the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process which is a list maintained by local police departments.
