| XYCLmwKgkeo-00000-00000652-00001366 Trump may not be able to work in the Oval Office for over a year. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00001-00001366-00001538 By Chris Perez. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00002-00001538-00001901 President Obama is apparently refusing to renovate the Oval Office � and has instead | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00003-00001901-00002304 decided to pass the buck to Donald Trump, who may be forced to work somewhere else for | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00004-00002304-00002713 a quarter of his term as a result of the numerous security upgrades that will be going on inside | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00005-00002713-00002813 the room. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00006-00002813-00003162 �My understanding is that for the first year of his time in office, President Trump | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00007-00003162-00003622 will not have the Oval Office,� former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove told Fox News on | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00008-00003622-00003722 Wednesday. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00009-00003722-00004098 �President Obama could have told the Secret Service, �I know you want to modernize the | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00010-00004098-00004507 Oval Office with security enhancements � literally strip it down to the bare walls and build | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00011-00004507-00004968 it back up so we�ve got bulletproof glass and so forth and so on, security arrangements | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00012-00004968-00005446 in it, in my last year in office,� but instead he said, �Why don�t you do that [with] | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00013-00005446-00005604 whoever comes next.'� | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00014-00005604-00005976 According to Rove, Trump may have to spend up to a quarter of his term working out of | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00015-00005976-00006373 the Eisenhower Executive Office Building across the street from the presidential seat of power | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00016-00006373-00006794 � which is where President Richard Nixon recorded some his infamous White House tapes. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00017-00006794-00007257 �My understanding is, [Trump] will spend most of his first year using Richard Nixon�s | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00018-00007257-00007684 old office in the Old Executive Office Building across Executive Drive and up the Navy steps,� | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00019-00007684-00007814 Rove said. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00020-00007814-00008195 The decision to not renovate the Oval Office may ultimately come as a surprise to some, | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00021-00008195-00008736 since Obama chose to redecorate the room completely in 2010 � adorning it with big, cushy sofas | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00022-00008736-00008865 and striped wallpaper. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00023-00008865-00009325 �It [looked] much more comfortable and less intimidating,� Elle Decor editor-in-chief | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00024-00009325-00009535 Michael Boodro said at the time. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00025-00009535-00010014 In 2013, RealClearPolitics reported that a replica Oval Office was being constructed | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00026-00010014-00010382 in the EEOB and was expected to be completed later that year, but the plans eventually | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00027-00010382-00010482 were scrapped. | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00028-00010482-00010890 A �Deep Underground Command Center� under the West Wing � which was first proposed | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00029-00010890-00011360 in 1963 � has been in the works since 2010 and some believe it may already have been | |
| XYCLmwKgkeo-00030-00011360-00012328 completed. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00000-00000000-00000750 Hello! In this video I’m going to show you how to use your library account to renew items you’ve checked out. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00001-00000750-00001750 First you’ll have to go to the sign-in page for your library account. Starting at the library homepage, library.uncg.edu, scroll down and click | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00002-00001750-00002106 “online book renewals.” | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00003-00002106-00002739 Although you can borrow materials from the library without creating a library account, you will have to make the account yourself in order to view | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00004-00002740-00003523 information about your library usage. It won’t be created for you, like your iSpartan account is. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00005-00003523-00004236 So the first time you come to this page, you’ll have to set up your account. There’s a separate video about how to do that on the tutorials page. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00006-00004236-00004959 Once you’ve set up your account, you can click “sign into my library account” and it will take you to a page where you enter your UNCG ID number | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00007-00004960-00005633 (sometimes called your UNCGenie number) and the password you created. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00008-00005633-00006739 Inside your account, you can see a list of items that you’ve checked out. To renew an item, click this button. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00009-00006740-00007583 Sometimes, when you try to renew an item, you’ll see an error message. This usually happens if you’ve already renewed that item several times, | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00010-00007583-00008256 or if you’re trying to renew something that can’t be renewed, like a DVD. It might also be because someone placed a hold on that item so that they | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00011-00008256-00008619 can get it next after you’re done with it. | |
| XcoKSjds5p0-00012-00008620-00009343 And that’s how you renew materials! I hope this video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching, and if you still have questions you can just Ask Us. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00000-00000372-00001309 Good morning, yes, let's say that here it is practically 10 and as I say in these cases | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00001-00001309-00001409 certainly not | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00002-00001409-00002026 one very early morning, one late morning but still morning, mr, master, maestro | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00003-00002026-00002823 or simply or | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00004-00002823-00003561 simply David Lynch? | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00005-00003561-00004432 It's Mat 18, 2022 and it's a Wednesday ("It's a Wednesday once again"), | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00006-00004432-00005561 here in Naples a clear, clear morning in this moment, very still right now, 84.2 fahrenheit | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00007-00005561-00006451 around 29 celsius and this means that it's that day really, really, really, really, really, | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00008-00006451-00006551 really, | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00009-00006551-00007509 really, really soft like in these days and in this period, as you can see I doubled the | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00010-00007509-00007609 "really", | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00011-00007609-00008123 instead of four times I said it eight times because it seems that today it really is | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00012-00008123-00008872 a climate more summer than spring, it is really very hot, after all we are going towards June. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00013-00008872-00009449 As regard the video-thoughts I don't know if I do it because I still have the one from | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00014-00009449-00009549 two days ago | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00015-00009549-00010451 to load, so I don't think I will, but just in case your eyes open anyway if you are | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00016-00010451-00010580 interested. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00017-00010580-00011134 Anyway as he and you all just see from the window: | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00018-00011134-00012241 I think that this afternoon the temperature could still rise, that is, for sure it will | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00019-00012241-00012341 maintain itself | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00020-00012341-00012647 on the same level and maybe even go up. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00021-00012647-00012929 Obviously as always we are not magicians on this | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00022-00012929-00013803 but the really important thing with this atmosphere is that today we have, today we have | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00023-00013803-00015822 those beautiful, those beautiful, those beautiful, those beautiful, those beautiful | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00024-00015822-00016120 blue skies and golden sunshine and I think all along the way. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00025-00016120-00016247 Obviously here all along the way | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00026-00016247-00016803 fewer and fewer hours than you, I mean mostly American friends, being here a | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00027-00016803-00016925 completely different time. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00028-00016925-00017542 This trend with the sun is one of the longest in my entire history | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00029-00017542-00018094 of the Weather Report, has been going on for six days if I'm not mistaken. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00030-00018094-00018291 Well so, we hope to continue | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00031-00018291-00018664 so also tomorrow to reach a record, maybe a full week. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00032-00018664-00018764 the | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00033-00018764-00019264 I remember that we have never had all these consecutive days with the sun in all of mine | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00034-00019264-00019391 story of the Report. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00035-00019391-00019518 Well, why said this: | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00036-00019518-00020015 so from the mythical window with the orange, red, blue, green water courtain | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00037-00020015-00020352 and its green | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00038-00020352-00021472 roller shooter behind me, on the top not visible and in fact here in the shot | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00039-00021472-00022076 and finally from my mythical keyboard Yamaha DGX640 YPG, YPG-625 | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00040-00022076-00023943 have a great day him, all the people who follow the channel and the reports, | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00041-00023943-00024533 and also I hope you all have a great breakfast, I'll make it soon, my stomach rumbles, | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00042-00024533-00025065 I don't know if you hear it, but above all I hope you can console yourself with your | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00043-00025065-00025165 nice breakfast | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00044-00025165-00025441 should the weather be bad in your part. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00045-00025441-00025728 I'll see you in the video thoughts of .. | |
| XcAsRObi2iA-00046-00025728-00026433 I don't think of today, that of three days ago or tomorrow! | |
| XcFq0XvHMTg-00000-00000000-00000200 I did so well! | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00000-00000024-00000728 Hello. My name is Kathryn Johnson and I am a 2014 graduate of Purdue University. I graduated | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00001-00000728-00001240 with my bachelor's degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering and would like to take | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00002-00001240-00001784 this moment to extend a heartfelt congratulations to the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00003-00001784-00002520 on their 75th anniversary. The 75th anniversary is great cause for celebration and also reflection. | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00004-00002576-00003144 I fondly look back on my time at Purdue and think back to all the amazing experiences we all shared. | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00005-00003240-00003720 During my time at Purdue I was involved in the Purdue musical organization singing in | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00006-00003720-00004456 the Purduettes. I volunteered with Purdue Space Day serving as director and I was also part of | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00007-00004456-00005184 the chapter of Society of Women Engineers at Purdue. Between our hard coursework and | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00008-00005184-00005968 our extracurricular activities it laid a great technical foundation a strong work ethic and also | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00009-00005968-00006568 built relationships friendships and a network that has supported me and led me to where I am today. | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00010-00006623-00007136 I proudly work at the Boeing Company and have for five years and I currently serve in the role as | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00011-00007136-00007831 chief of staff for U.S. government services. I am a proud graduate of Purdue University and again | |
| XeKrWNYZ8wM-00012-00007831-00008504 congratulations to the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics on the 75th anniversary. Boiler up | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00000-00000000-00000721 In 1948, the state of Israel was founded after the expulsion of the indigenous population of Palestine. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00001-00000721-00001347 Specifically the founding of the state of Israel was a direct result of operations carried out by the Israeli founding fathers | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00002-00001347-00001917 that resulted in the emptying of 11 urban districts, the destruction of over half of all Palestinian villages | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00003-00001917-00002481 and the expulsion of 80% of the indigenous population which numbers around 800,000 people | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00004-00002481-00002759 expelled from their homes with no right of return | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00005-00002759-00003059 A number of historians have made the case that this “Nakba” | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00006-00003059-00003576 (as this event is referred to) encompasses ethnic cleansing as defined by the UN. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00007-00003576-00003776 So that’s our topic of discussion for today | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00008-00003776-00004450 The fact that this mass expulsion took place is not a coincidence, it wasn’t something that was incidental | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00009-00004450-00004867 to the creation of the state of Israel rather it was a very deliberate military strategy | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00010-00004867-00005358 that was meticulously planned out for years before being executed and was believed | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00011-00005358-00005789 by the Israeli founding fathers to be essential to the founding of their state. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00012-00005789-00006248 We’re going to look at explicit statements and writings of the founders of Israel that clearly illustrate | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00013-00006248-00006745 the extent to which they were obsessed with the removal of Arabs from what they considered rightfully their land. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00014-00006745-00007334 So often we hear the refrain that the Israel-Palestine conflict is very complex | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00015-00007334-00007768 and cannot be understood by outsiders, but this far from the case. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00016-00007768-00008295 It is, in fact, a very simple and straightforward conflict. And it will become clear as we go on | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00017-00008295-00008854 that the story of Israel is one that we have heard many times before, it is the story of Europeans | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00018-00008854-00009462 engaging in settler colonialism and forcibly removing, imprisoning and killing the indigenous population. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00019-00009462-00010154 This was done in the United states, in Australia, in Canada, in South Africa and, of course, in Israel. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00020-00010154-00010569 There is never anything new under the sun, its all been done before. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00021-00010911-00011443 A lot of people here are probably aware to some extent of the origins of Zionism, but to summarize | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00022-00011443-00012058 Zionism is a nationalist movement and ideology that calls for the establishment of a Jewish state in what we call Palestine. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00023-00012058-00012691 Zionism was initiated by a mixture of Jewish people believing that their abhorrent treatment in Europe had gone too far | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00024-00012691-00013105 and Jewish people needed a country of their own, and (interestingly enough) anti-Semitic Europeans | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00025-00013105-00013645 who believed Jewish people could not assimilate in Europe and they should be given land somewhere to settle instead. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00026-00013645-00014168 It was a divisive issue in the Jewish community, with sides being taken on both sides of the argument | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00027-00014168-00014655 but it wasn’t a solid movement yet. This was what we call proto-Zionism, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00028-00014655-00015262 the ideas were there but they hadn’t been assimilated into a coherent ideology or movement yet. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00029-00015262-00015769 What truly started the Zionist movement was the Dreyfus Affair. Captain Alfred Dreyfus was accused of treason | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00030-00015769-00016517 and sentenced to jail, with many believing him to be innocent and the victim of anti-Semitism (which was true btw). | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00031-00016517-00017160 The Dreyfus Affair shocked many Jewish people across the continent as France was one of the first countries | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00032-00017160-00017628 to give Jewish people equality under the law, and if something this overtly anti-Semitic could take place over there | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00033-00017628-00018182 the situation was not looking good for Jewish people in more despotic regions of Europe like tsarist Russia | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00034-00018182-00018623 where Jewish people were ghettoized and terrorized by pogroms for decades. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00035-00018623-00019393 Zionism emerged as a secular Jewish movement for a return to “Eretz Israel” which was the Jewish name for Palestine. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00036-00019393-00020154 Some Zionists saw Palestine as being occupied by “strangers” that had to be dealt with in order to repossess Eretz Israel. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00037-00020154-00020840 Stranger referring to anyone who wasn’t Jewish who had been living in Palestine since the Roman occupation . | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00038-00021254-00022017 Other Zionists saw Palestine as being empty “a land without a people”, the Palestinians being either invisible | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00039-00022017-00022634 or something akin to wildlife of an empty land, to be conquered and removed. If that sounds familiar, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00040-00022634-00023166 it is a common trope among settler colonial beliefs, the most prominent example is the indigenous population | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00041-00023166-00023627 of Australia being officially considered “flora and fauna” by the colonial government. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00042-00023627-00024366 Before 1917, Zionism was vastly limited in its scope. It consisted of colonies of Europeans in Palestine who | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00043-00024366-00025457 were only 5% of the population by 1918, contrasted with 30% in 1948. As to how the Palestinians | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00044-00025457-00026040 viewed the nascent Zionist movement, there was some discussion by Palestinian leaders regarding the Zionist | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00045-00026040-00026841 movement and for the most part they were seen as a colonialist or a missionary venture that sought to buy lands | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00046-00026841-00027565 assets and power in Palestine, but not as a world-ending threat. But, so far, that was truly the extent of the Zionist movement | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00047-00027565-00028118 buying land resources and assets and forming social and communal networks between colonies | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00048-00028118-00028443 But all this was to change with the entrance of the British. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00049-00029000-00030136 In 1917, the British Foreign Secretary Lord Arthur Balfour wrote a letter promising the Zionist movement, on behalf of the British government, that a country would be established in Palestine for the Jewish people | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00050-00030136-00030388 This is often called the Balfour declaration | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00051-00030486-00031348 Following the end of WWI in 1918, the British were given control over Palestine by the League of Nations “until such time as they are able to stand alone”. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00052-00031348-00032538 The British attempted to institute a parliament with Jewish colonists and Palestinians equally represented which was, of course, ludicrous given that Palestinians made up 80-90% of the population. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00053-00032538-00033349 This, along with many other factors, lead to the British Mandate over Palestine being rife with uprisings, rebellions and riots | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00054-00033349-00034412 One of these rebellions in 1936 was so popular among the Palestinian people that the British stationed more troops in Palestine than in British India at the time. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00055-00034412-00035438 This rebellion led to the exile of the Palestinian leadership and the crippling of the militancy of the Palestinian people due to arrests, injuries and deaths. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00056-00035438-00036353 Between the two major rebellions in 1929 to 1936, the Zionist leadership had developed a plan for a Palestine with an exclusive Jewish presence (and no Palestinians). | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00057-00036425-00036808 As Ilan Pappe wrote in his book “the ethnic cleansing of Palestine”: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00058-00040147-00041064 The British Mandate gave permission to the Zionist movement to form its own political structures within their enclaves in Palestine to serve as a basis for a future state. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00059-00041122-00042109 The Zionist movement used this time to develop and prepare its plans to implement a state with Jewish exclusivity, developing military plans in case the land would not be granted to them diplomatically. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00060-00042109-00042651 Specifically, they were developing the military arm of their movement: the Hagana. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00061-00042651-00043973 The Hagana as the military wing of the Zionist movement was trained extensively in combat tactics and retaliation methods in the Judean wilderness by Orde Wingate an officer in the British Army. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00062-00044055-00045021 They received a chance to implement this training in the revolts in Palestine. These initial solo missions involved taking out road-side snipers and punishing thieves who stole from their colonies, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00063-00045102-00046082 but their most formative experience was when Wingate arranged for them to accompany British troops to a Palestinian village, which they seized and held for a few hours. In addition to this, many | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00064-00046082-00047161 Hagana members served the British during the second world war, gaining experience on that front. However, within Palestine, there was a very important intelligence operation that the Hagana was | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00065-00047161-00047500 engaged in: the creation and maintenance of the village files. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00066-00047572-00048768 The village files was an initiative suggested by Ben-Zion Luria, who was an employee of the educational department of the Jewish Agency, that aimed at documenting all the Arab villages in Palestine in detail | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00067-00048890-00050026 Seemingly an innocuous plan when stated like that, you can imagine it as almost like a census if you close your eyes to the next 60+ years of brutality. To quote once again from Ilan Pappe: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00068-00055680-00057061 It was obvious to all involved that this wasn’t an academic study of the history of Palestine, but rather reconnaissance of enemy villages. One of the early operatives who was sent on these data excursion trips called Moshe Pasternak stated: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00069-00060711-00061771 The worst part of the village files were updated one year before the Nakba, the creation of lists of “wanted” people in each village. The official criteria for placing people on this list was stated as | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00070-00061771-00063361 involvement in the Palestinian national movement, its leaders or its ideology. This was a very wide range of people seeing as the Palestinian national movement and its leaders were members of various popular political parties that had won elections on both local and national levels. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00071-00063422-00064045 The fact of the matter was that the Zionists believed that participation in the Palestinian government constituted a crime. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00072-00064045-00065167 The estimate is that in a village with 1500 residents, around 25-30 people were placed on this list. A year later, many of the people on this list were given a summary execution, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00073-00065167-00065678 meaning they were executed with no trial or judge, on the spot when being accused. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00074-00065781-00066934 By the end of 1946, David Ben-Gurion (who was the founder of the Israeli state and its first Prime Minister) finalized a plan called “Plan Dalet” which built off of a previous plan that had listed | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00075-00066934-00067761 punitive measures to be taken against Palestinians to “deter” them from attacking Jewish settlements. These punitive measures were: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00076-00070579-00071585 Most interestingly, Plan C stated that the targets of such killings could be found in the village files. Its almost as if the plan had always been the removal of Palestinians from Palestine. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00077-00071688-00072555 Sstatements from the leadership of the Zionist movements shows how they believed that there could be no stable Israel, without a Jewish majority, with Ben-Gurion stating: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00078-00074219-00075687 He had previously stated that immigration would not be a suitable method to reach this 80% lower-limit and that force would have to be utilized to remove the Palestinians from Eretz Israel. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00079-00075838-00076950 When you look at statements from any leader of the Zionist movement at this time, they all express similar viewpoints, some even more severe. There is very little dissension, even the people considered the most liberal participants | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00080-00076950-00077850 of the movement such as Dr Yaacov Tahon, were convinced by January 1948 that there could be no Jewish state without mass expulsions of the Palestinians. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00081-00078416-00079522 In February 1947, the British Cabinet decided to pull out of Palestine and hand over the country to the UN to decide what to do next. The UN, for its part, deliberated for 9 months and decided to | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00082-00079522-00080423 partition the country into two, a Jewish State and a Palestinian State. This resolution was adopted by the UN on the 29th of November 1947. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00083-00080423-00080977 The ethnic cleansing of Palestine started a month later in December 1947 | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00084-00081115-00082137 A number of attacks by Jewish colonists on Palestinian villages and neighborhoods that were done in retaliation to vandalism during Palestinian protests against the adoption of the resolution. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00085-00082235-00083177 These attacks were not an all-out war, but the Jewish attacks on Palestinians was severe enough at this stage to force 75,000 Palestinians out of their lands. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00086-00083252-00084451 By February of 1948, the Zionist movement had decided to move from retaliatory attacks to all-out ethnic cleansing. Forecful expulsions of Palestinians from their lands had begun to ramp up, with 5 villages | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00087-00084451-00084623 being emptied in only one day in mid-February. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00088-00084696-00085674 On March 10th, 1948 Plan Dalet that called for the complete occupation of Palestine and the expulsion of the entire indigenous population by force was adopted | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00089-00085674-00086396 adopted with the first operation being the forceful occupation of Palestinian urban centers and the expulsion of the indigenous population by force. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00090-00086396-00087167 By the end of April, all these urban centers had been occupied and 250,000 Palestinians were expelled from them, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00091-00087167-00088173 with large-scale massacres such as the Deir Yassin massacre where 107 Palestinians civilians including women and children were killed in a village of only 600 people. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00092-00088173-00089018 In deir Yassin, some Palestinians were killed defending themselves in battle, other were killed when they had surrendered or as they were running away. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00093-00089018-00089855 A number of prisoners were paraded around West Jerusalem and then killed. A report to the Israeli military intelligence stated: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00094-00092152-00092698 Jacques de Reynier a representative of the Red Cross described the aftermath of the massacre in his memoirs: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00095-00096096-00096307 He stated many of the cadavers appeared to have been mutilated. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00096-00096307-00097371 In response to this horrible atrocity, the future sixth Prime Minister of Israel who was present at this time called this massacre “a splendid act of conquest” and continued saying: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00097-00098872-00099886 In response, the Arab League decided to intervene militarily but not until the British had officially withdrawn which happened on the 15th of May 1948, upon which the Zionist movement | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00098-00099886-00100858 immediately declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, immediately recognized by both the USA and the USSR. The Arab League entered Palestine the same day. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00099-00100858-00102204 The US offered Israel two peace plans to halt the escalation of violation, but both peace plans were rejected immediately. They had no plans for a Palestinian state to exist and wanted to occupy the entirety of Eretz Israel, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00100-00102204-00103078 , and they had no reason to back down. Until May 1948, the Jewish Army outnumbered the Palestinian irregular army by over 10:1. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00101-00103078-00103896 As the Arab League army entered the fray, the Jewish army still outnumbered them 2:1 and were more heavily armed and trained. The leaders of the Zionist movement | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00102-00103896-00104731 pretended it was facing a doomsday scenario and that a ‘second holocaust’ was imminent, but this was all done for public spectacle. In private, the leaders of the Zionist | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00103-00104731-00105472 movement were very well aware of how unprepared, untrained and unarmed the arab armies were. In response to a letter stating that the Zionist army | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00104-00105472-00106101 only had enough troops to defend themselves but not take over the country, David Ben-Gurion replied: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00105-00108998-00109554 The fate of the Palestinian people was defined within the official plan adopted by the Zionist movement and was stated as follows: | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00106-00112489-00113385 This was Plan Dalet, and it was distributed to the commanders of the Hagana along with a list of villages that each commander should target with his brigade. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00107-00113385-00114020 These were not vague guidelines, but clearly spelled out policies and orders for the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00108-00114020-00115512 Plan Dalet was executed, using the Deir Yassin massacre as a model, the end result was catastrophic. 800,000 people expelled, urban centers occupied, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00109-00115512-00116526 500+ villages destroyed, the relegation of the vast majority of Palestinian people as refugees or prisoners and the death of 20000 people. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00110-00116618-00117552 This was what started the Israel-Palestine conflict. European settler colonists massively dispossessing 800,000 people of their land, home, heritage and country. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00111-00117552-00118795 And it did not end in 1948, that was only the beginning. Till today, the intention of the Israeli government is still the same as it was back then: the complete annexation of Palestine and the forced expulsion of its people. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00112-00118795-00119847 Settlements are still being built to take over the west bank. Gaza is the world’s largest open air prison, 2 million people surrounded by a foreign adversary, not allowed to leave at all, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00113-00119847-00120674 being deprived of food and exports, being bombed and raided regularly, running out of water, their infrastructure being constantly destroyed by Israel, | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00114-00120674-00121729 their hospitals, their schools, their stores and their lives are all forfeit. It going how it started, horribly with the clear intention of the destruction of the Palestinian people. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00115-00121729-00122886 We’ve examined horrible atrocities today and yet we’ve only scratched the surface. We haven’t discussed so many things that and I have significantly simplified the parties involved here. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00116-00122886-00123904 But what we have discussed is enough for you to get a clear view of the situation, and understand that this isn’t a situation where there is a lot of ambiguity. There is a clear aggressor and a clear victim. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00117-00123904-00124515 Israel started out as a terror state, and it has kept that legacy up admirably. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00118-00124515-00125482 I am incredibly indebted to Illan Pappe’s book “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine”, it covers everything ive talked about here and more. Illan Pappe is part of the “New Historians” who are a group | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00119-00125482-00126212 of Israeli historians that examined records within the Israeli military archives and pieced together what happened during the Nakba. | |
| Xg0Vhu7GG68-00120-00126212-00126625 I would definitely recommend reading it if youre interested in learning about this in more detail. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00000-00000459-00001484 Rina: Hi, I m Marina and I am the Secretary to the Police Accountability Board. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00001-00001484-00001988 Michaela: Thank you for coming on Marina. So tell us a little bit about yourself. What | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00002-00001988-00002464 led you to the PAB? Rina: Well I graduated from Rochester City | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00003-00002464-00003317 School District. Went to RIT. Graduated from there. Criminal Justice Bachelors. Then I | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00004-00003317-00003925 began working in a lot of the big law firms around the City, which led me into Government | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00005-00003925-00004384 work, and eventually that lead me here. Michaela: Wow I didn t know you had a degree | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00006-00004384-00005142 in Criminal Justice. Wow. Ok. I m learning too. And why is the work at the PAB important | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00007-00005142-00005576 to you? Rina: I think it s very important to me because | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00008-00005576-00006480 I have seen some of the injustices go on and I would like it to be a safe interaction on | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00009-00006480-00007152 both sides, for both police and the community. I actually have some, a lot of my family members | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00010-00007152-00007535 actually, almost all of my aunts and uncles have served either military or police, so | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00011-00007535-00008050 I want to make sure things are just as safe for them as they are for anybody else. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00012-00008050-00008639 Michaela: What inspires you about the PAB? Rina: I think the thing that inspires me most | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00013-00008639-00009446 is our legislation, it s really one of the strongest models that s come out in the Country. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00014-00009446-00010220 That along with the overwhelming support, like our Alliance is something like no other. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00015-00010220-00010938 It s great to see how much buy-in there is. Michaela: What do you look forward to the | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00016-00010938-00011567 most working here? Rina: I look forward to my co-workers really, | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00017-00011567-00012135 they re the highlight of my day. Working with them. You know, there s so many smart and | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00018-00012135-00012586 talented people here and it s just a delight to be able to be amongst them. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00019-00012586-00012956 Michaela: Thank you so much. And that s why I m doing these stories because I think it | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00020-00012956-00013321 s important for the community to get to know us and the staff that s here every single | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00021-00013321-00013728 day. They re so used to seeing the Board members in Board meetings so that s why I want to | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00022-00013728-00014263 show you guys off. And what do you see being the most challenging thing here at the PAB? | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00023-00014263-00014996 Rina: I think the biggest challenge is people misunderstanding what the PAB is, the work | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00024-00014996-00015619 we do, and we're just really out here to make sure that there s equity in public safety. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00025-00015619-00016215 Michaela: Very good. And what do you enjoy doing outside of the PAB? Who is Marina and | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00026-00016215-00016718 what does she like to do? Rina: Well I m a Streamer, AwkwardMonstress | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00027-00016718-00017622 on Twitch, I m a fashionista, I love to dress up and be out. I stay active, I m always going | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00028-00017622-00018134 for hikes with my dog or playing Disc Golf, and, you know, I love hanging out with my | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00029-00018134-00018509 husband, and just our group of friend, just having good times. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00030-00018509-00018904 Michaela: Yeah and you brought in some great dip that your Husband made, maybe someday | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00031-00018904-00019811 we can have the public try that. And my final question for you is, if you were a part of | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00032-00019811-00020320 City legislation in Rochester, what would be the first law that you would introduce? | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00033-00020320-00020954 Rina: I think it would have to do, something with all of the vacant buildings that are | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00034-00020954-00021643 just in downtown Rochester. I feel as though we get involved in so many beautification | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00035-00021643-00022462 projects but they re still one of the most not- addressed issues in the City. So to see | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00036-00022462-00023084 it turn into free or low-income housing, or like a co-work space, or something just other | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00037-00023084-00023362 than being abandoned I think would be my first priority. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00038-00023362-00023792 Michaela: That s amazing, and I often look around and see this beautiful architecture | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00039-00023792-00024338 that is left abandoned downtown, so I totally get it, and I really would appreciate that. | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00040-00024338-00024882 Maybe somebody on City Legislation can propose something like that. Thank you so much, and | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00041-00024882-00025317 thank you everyone for tuning in, follow us @RochesterPAB on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, | |
| XgQqKdtgxWo-00042-00025317-00025530 Instagram, and now TikTok. We'll see you soon. Rina: Bye guys. | |

| XmURFOIUg_M-00000-00000524-00001029 We're on with Alan Wellenstein - the founder and the leader of the DataArt | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00001-00001029-00001541 Solution Design practice, which does a lot of work helping clients form their | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00002-00001541-00002058 ideas and plans for new systems, new solutions that we then proceed to | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00003-00002058-00002310 implement. Hi Alan, how are you? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00004-00002310-00002510 Very well, thank you. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00005-00002534-00002774 Braving the virus, everyone is safe, I hope? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00006-00002824-00003288 Everyone is safe, and one of the virtues of being the only one in this office is that I still get to go to an office. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00007-00003332-00004248 Well, some of us envy you for that. Let's get started. We wanted to ask | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00008-00004248-00004739 you to explain the role of solution design and the value that it | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00009-00004739-00005108 brings to the client and to briefly explain the method that you guys follow | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00010-00005108-00005650 and for what type of client situation you find this most applicable. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00011-00005674-00006248 Sure. So the role of Solution Design is typically upfront for some of our | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00012-00006248-00006873 larger, more complex engagements. And simply put, the goal of Solution | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00013-00006873-00007184 Design is to help ensure the success of the project. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00014-00007184-00007629 When I'm talking to the clients that I interact with, and I start with | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00015-00007629-00008106 normally it's c-suite and I start with the statistic of 40% to 60% | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00016-00008128-00008642 of IT projects failing, I have yet to be challenged on that statistic. In fact, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00017-00008643-00009051 most of the time, the people I'm speaking to nod knowingly and sadly | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00018-00009051-00009260 because it's happened to everyone. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00019-00009280-00009872 IT projects and transformation projects, in particular, are incredibly risky, and there are all sorts | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00020-00009873-00010272 of reasons why they might fail. Some of them are on the technology, but even more | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00021-00010272-00010722 of them are on the process, program management, alignment across stakeholders, etc. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00022-00010732-00011124 So, simply put, what we do in Solution Design is number one - make sure that we | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00023-00011124-00011421 crystallize the objective - what is it that we're trying to do, what are the | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00024-00011421-00011856 pain points we're trying to alleviate, the opportunities we're going after, and | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00025-00011856-00012237 then let's make sure that everyone sees those objectives in the same way, and | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00026-00012237-00012688 then let's look at all the things that likely will go bump as part of this process. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00027-00012706-00012923 and I say it's not about preventing things from going bump | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00028-00012924-00013402 It's not about preventing stuff from blowing up, it's actually acknowledging that they will | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00029-00013412-00013802 and trying to get them to blow up as early as possible in the process | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00030-00013808-00013969 and in as contained a way as possible. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00031-00013970-00014379 So that you still have plenty of runway to adapt and course correct and ultimately make sure | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00032-00014379-00014634 that the program is a success at the end. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00033-00014694-00015300 I know you often talk about two elements to this - “technical engineering”, “human engineering” | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00034-00015308-00015800 which sounds intriguing. Can you confirm what you mean by that? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00035-00015830-00016544 Some of my UK colleagues have said that “human engineering” sounds creepy, so I sometimes | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00036-00016545-00017012 say human or program management. But yes, when we think about risks on | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00037-00017012-00017429 projects, we think about them from those two dimensions. So technical risks tend | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00038-00017429-00017948 to be assumptions being wrong about what you might be able to do, either you know | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00039-00017948-00018290 this tool out there is going to give us the functionality we need and work the | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00040-00018290-00018782 way we want it to work, or this API is going to be performant enough, and it's | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00041-00018782-00019302 those kinds of assumptions that if you get wrong and you discover too late, can torpedo your project. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00042-00019316-00019526 And then, on the human engineering side of the equation, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00043-00019526-00019910 it's misalignments across stakeholders. So, typically, in some of the larger | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00044-00019910-00020674 transformations that we do, it’s across departments, across stakeholders within a company. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00045-00020692-00021026 And if you get that alignment wrong, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00046-00021036-00021458 if this group and this group don't see the universe in the same way and you discover it too late, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00047-00021476-00021834 it's one of the main reasons why so many projects fail. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00048-00021834-00022172 And so we make sure that not only are we at the beginning understanding the objectives, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00049-00022172-00022501 which, by the way, sometimes involves a healthy amount of reverse engineering | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00050-00022501-00022890 requirements into objectives. We often hear “oh we need to replace our CRM with | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00051-00022890-00023390 something that's better”. Okay great, replacing the CRM is a | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00052-00023390-00023962 requirement, but let's unpack why we are replacing the CRM in that instance, what are we trying to do, etc? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00053-00023976-00024215 And then let's make sure that all the people across the | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00054-00024215-00024654 company who that is going to affect are on board and aware of this | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00055-00024654-00025131 transformation and that you take their input, needs, concerns, risks into | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00056-00025131-00025412 consideration as early as possible so that you don't reach a situation | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00057-00025412-00025827 where you're 60% of the way in and you discover you got something wrong, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00058-00025838-00026042 but by then it's too expensive to course-correct. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00059-00026118-00026564 I imagine this sort of work is best done when you're all physically in the same | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00060-00026564-00026913 space, which is not the luxury we can all afford in | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00061-00026913-00027413 times like this. But I'm sure you have advice and tips and tricks and some | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00062-00027413-00027891 observations on how it can be done in this new virtual world we are inhabiting | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00063-00027891-00028214 right now. Can you share your observations in the last few weeks? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00064-00028214-00028639 What has your work been like and how do you see it evolving going forward? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00065-00028639-00029256 So I actually don't know how critical it is for everyone to be in the same room. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00066-00029256-00029736 It's useful, I think, for getting to know people. When I do on-site, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00067-00029736-00030111 I get more value out of dinner and drinks, getting to | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00068-00030111-00030383 know people with their guard down and hearing about them from a different | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00069-00030383-00030770 perspective other than the work - that, of course, is helpful at the beginning of a project. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00070-00030786-00031280 But in terms of the actual doing of a project, in solution design we do | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00071-00031281-00031749 a tremendous amount of prototyping and building proofs of concept and | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00072-00031749-00032181 iterating, it's a very iterative process, and one of the problems of on-site, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00073-00032181-00032562 especially when you have people traveling, is that you try to get | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00074-00032562-00033036 everything done in that one week or two weeks when everyone is there. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00075-00033036-00033359 And that in and of itself can sometimes be a problem because it doesn't lend itself to the, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00076-00033359-00033693 what would otherwise be, an iterative process. So one of the things that I've | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00077-00033693-00034140 actually found to be a benefit of the work from home is | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00078-00034140-00034770 that we are able to democratize participation in these meetings. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00079-00034784-00035213 Remote participants and on-site participants have equal footing, equal | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00080-00035213-00035741 square footage, if you will, in the zoom grid, and we're able to actually get more time | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00081-00035741-00036177 from the people we interact with because we're able to do it an hour here | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00082-00036177-00036636 an hour there over several weeks. And when we iterate, and we show them our | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00083-00036636-00037074 prototypes, we're actually able to meaningfully show them the result of the | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00084-00037074-00037452 last conversation. Whereas when we do this on-site, and everything is one week, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00085-00037452-00037912 you miss this opportunity to get more time with all of the stakeholders | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00086-00037912-00038198 who we typically want to talk with, and then to show them the fuits | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00087-00038199-00038513 of the iteration process of taking some ideas, thinking about it, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00088-00038513-00038937 going to our UX experts or our technical experts, trying something and then coming back | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00089-00038937-00039208 with what we've learned and adjusting together. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00090-00039240-00039876 I know you've recently completed a very large and mission-critical solution design effort | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00091-00039876-00040389 for a large client in retail, which was interesting because it started when | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00092-00040389-00041151 everyone could meet in person and ended well into this quarantine time, so it's a | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00093-00041151-00041616 perhaps a unique project that started one way and finished the other. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00094-00041616-00042072 How did your experience change over the course of that one effort? | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00095-00042072-00042852 Well, the clients’ priorities shifted. They are in retail, as you mentioned and what | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00096-00042852-00043431 was important before quarantine and what was important after quarantine shifted | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00097-00043431-00043791 in a meaningful way. And one of the nice things about the solution design | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00098-00043791-00044217 methodology, because it is iterative and agile, it wasn't an issue with us. So some | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00099-00044217-00044616 of their priorities changed, but it was not an issue to our program and helping | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00100-00044616-00045003 them figure out how we were going to optimize the solution given the | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00101-00045003-00045262 current state and their requirements etc. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00102-00045290-00046224 In terms of the mechanics, it really was much more effective in terms of the number of | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00103-00046224-00046638 people we needed to interact with and the time that we got with them, | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00104-00046638-00047121 especially given that they were super busy. They're in one of the few | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00105-00047121-00047556 industries with a problem of keeping up with demand. These people were | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00106-00047556-00048000 incredibly busy, but because we were doing it remotely, we were able to still | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00107-00048000-00048406 get time when people could fit it into their schedule and iterate with them | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00108-00048406-00048776 and show them the fruits of our prototyping process. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00109-00048776-00049210 So I think in this particular case, it did not hurt the process at all. | |
| XmURFOIUg_M-00110-00049256-00049424 Excellent thanks very much, Allan. | |
