If you look at that, there are 4 "overcast" instances, +z4-_kP96MJM-00015-00007104-00007556 and it's "yes" for all of them: that rule is 100% correct. +z4-_kP96MJM-00016-00007556-00008014 "If temperature=cool, then humidity=normal"; that's also 100% correct. +z4-_kP96MJM-00017-00008014-00008714 "If outlook=sunny and play=no, then humidity=high." We don't have to predict "play" or indeed +z4-_kP96MJM-00018-00008777-00008987 any particular attribute. +z4-_kP96MJM-00019-00008987-00009474 If you look at rule #4, "outlook=sunny and play=no," the first 2 instances satisfy that +z4-_kP96MJM-00020-00009474-00010174 rule, and there are no other instances that satisfy that rule. +z4-_kP96MJM-00021-00010203-00010672 So it's 100% correct, but it only covers 2 instances. +z4-_kP96MJM-00022-00010672-00010984 There are lots of 100% correct rules for the weather data. +z4-_kP96MJM-00023-00010984-00011584 I think there are 336 rules that are 100% correct. +z4-_kP96MJM-00024-00011584-00012006 Somehow we need to discriminate between these rules. +z4-_kP96MJM-00025-00012006-00012390 The way we're going to do this is to look at the "support", the number of instances +z4-_kP96MJM-00026-00012390-00012545 that satisfy a rule. +z4-_kP96MJM-00027-00012545-00013169 The "confidence" is the proportion of instances for which the conclusion holds, and the "support" +z4-_kP96MJM-00028-00013169-00013588 is the number of instances that satisfy a rule. +z4-_kP96MJM-00029-00013588-00013909 Here I've got the same rules. +z4-_kP96MJM-00030-00013909-00014290 They all have 100% confidence, but they've got different degrees of support, different +z4-_kP96MJM-00031-00014290-00014535 numbers of instances. +z4-_kP96MJM-00032-00014535-00015396 We're looking for high support/high confidence rules, but we don't really want to specify +z4-_kP96MJM-00033-00015396-00015873 100% confidence and look for all of those rules, because, like I said, there are hundreds +z4-_kP96MJM-00034-00015873-00016204 of them and a lot of them have very low support. +z4-_kP96MJM-00035-00016204-00016712 Typically what we do is specify a minimum degree of confidence and seek the rules with +z4-_kP96MJM-00036-00016712-00017188 the greatest support with that minimum confidence. +z4-_kP96MJM-00037-00017188-00017410 I want to introduce you to the idea of an "itemset". +z4-_kP96MJM-00038-00017410-00018110 An itemset is a set of attribute-value pairs, like "humidity=normal and windy=false and +z4-_kP96MJM-00039-00018110-00018318 play=yes". +z4-_kP96MJM-00040-00018318-00018723 An itemset has got a certain support given a dataset. +z4-_kP96MJM-00041-00018723-00019224 Here there are 4 instances in the dataset that are in that itemset. +z4-_kP96MJM-00042-00019224-00019924 We can take that itemset and permute it in 7 different ways to produce rules, all of +z4-_kP96MJM-00043-00020043-00020212 which have a support of 4. +z4-_kP96MJM-00044-00020212-00020912 "If humidity=normal and windy=false than play=yes" has a support of 4 and a confidence of 4/4--that's +z4-_kP96MJM-00045-00021193-00021893 100%--because all of the instances for which humidity=normal and windy=false have play=yes. +z4-_kP96MJM-00046-00022060-00022370 As we go down this list of rules, we get a lower degree of confidence. +z4-_kP96MJM-00047-00022370-00023070 The last rule, for example, doesn't have anything on the left-hand side: "anything implies humidity=normal, +z4-_kP96MJM-00048-00023251-00023951 windy=false and play=yes" has a support of 4, but there are 14 instances that satisfy +z4-_kP96MJM-00049-00023996-00024127 the left-hand side. +z4-_kP96MJM-00050-00024127-00024620 All of the instances satisfy the left-hand side, so the confidence is 4/14. +z4-_kP96MJM-00051-00024620-00025157 You can see that as you go down this list of rules, the confidence is decreasing from +z4-_kP96MJM-00052-00025157-00025857 100% through 4/6 (67%) down to quite a low value, 4/14. +z4-_kP96MJM-00053-00026000-00026538 What Apriori does is generate high-support itemsets. +z4-_kP96MJM-00054-00026538-00027238 Then, given an itemset, it gets all the rules from it, and just takes those with more than +z4-_kP96MJM-00055-00027258-00027666 an minimum specified degree of confidence. +z4-_kP96MJM-00056-00027666-00028194 The strategy is to iteratively reduce the minimum support until the required number +z4-_kP96MJM-00057-00028194-00028782 of rules is found with a given minimum confidence. +z4-_kP96MJM-00058-00028782-00028917 That's it for this lesson. +z4-_kP96MJM-00059-00028917-00029191 There are far more association rules than classification rules. +z4-_kP96MJM-00060-00029191-00029376 We need different techniques. +z4-_kP96MJM-00061-00029376-00029707 The "support" and "confidence" are two important measures. +z4-_kP96MJM-00062-00029707-00030164 Apriori is the standard algorithm, and I just want to show you that algorithm over here +z4-_kP96MJM-00063-00030164-00030279 in Weka. +z4-_kP96MJM-00064-00030279-00030739 I've opened a dataset that you're going to be using in the activity: it's the "vote" +z4-_kP96MJM-00065-00030739-00030866 dataset. +z4-_kP96MJM-00066-00030866-00031325 In order to use Apriori, I go to the Associate panel. +z4-_kP96MJM-00067-00031325-00031877 There are a few association rule algorithms, of which by far the most popular is Apriori; +z4-_kP96MJM-00068-00031877-00032066 that's the default one. +z4-_kP96MJM-00069-00032066-00032566 Then I just run that to get association rules. +z4-_kP96MJM-00070-00032566-00032820 That's what you'll be doing in the activity. +z4-_kP96MJM-00071-00032820-00033235 We want to specify the minimum confidence value and seek rules with the most support, +z4-_kP96MJM-00072-00033235-00033668 and the details of that are in the next lesson. +z4-_kP96MJM-00073-00033668-00034057 There's some stuff about association rules in the textbook. +z4-_kP96MJM-00074-00034057-00034375 Good luck with the activity, and I'll see you in the next lesson. +z4-_kP96MJM-00075-00034375-00034500 Bye for now! +z5Z9y-_WH08-00000-00000000-00000192 Let's talk about a term that's gaining +z5Z9y-_WH08-00001-00000192-00000434 more and more cachet among those who are +z5Z9y-_WH08-00002-00000434-00000600 looking to change how we teach +z5Z9y-_WH08-00003-00000600-00000809 mathematics and that's the term problem +z5Z9y-_WH08-00004-00000809-00001029 solving. Many mathematics education +z5Z9y-_WH08-00005-00001029-00001296 standards now emphasize problem-solving +z5Z9y-_WH08-00006-00001296-00001592 as an important goal in mathematics +z5Z9y-_WH08-00007-00001592-00001860 education. This often raises a +z5Z9y-_WH08-00008-00001860-00001941 question: +z5Z9y-_WH08-00009-00001941-00002109 wait a minute what are all those things +z5Z9y-_WH08-00010-00002109-00002265 that we do at the end of each section of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00011-00002265-00002550 math book? Aren't those problems and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00012-00002550-00002796 aren't we problem-solving when we do these +z5Z9y-_WH08-00013-00002796-00003006 things. And the answer to that question +z5Z9y-_WH08-00014-00003006-00003525 is probably not. Those things that we do +z5Z9y-_WH08-00015-00003525-00003665 at the end of each section of a math +z5Z9y-_WH08-00016-00003665-00003836 book even though they might be called +z5Z9y-_WH08-00017-00003836-00004119 problems are not problems within the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00018-00004119-00004467 context of the term problem solving and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00019-00004467-00004593 to illustrate the difference let's +z5Z9y-_WH08-00020-00004593-00004770 consider a lesson on the rules of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00021-00004770-00004905 exponents as presented to the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00022-00004905-00005052 traditional math course, +z5Z9y-_WH08-00023-00005052-00005334 well, actually as I've actually taught +z5Z9y-_WH08-00024-00005334-00005580 these in the past so let's consider that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00025-00005580-00005769 so what we might do we might start out +z5Z9y-_WH08-00026-00005769-00005996 with by saying okay so this thing this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00027-00005996-00006255 exponent a to power n well that's the product of n +z5Z9y-_WH08-00028-00006255-00006584 factors of a and so for example to power +z5Z9y-_WH08-00029-00006584-00006818 3 that's the same as 2 times 2 times 2 +z5Z9y-_WH08-00030-00006818-00007106 and so now I might ask well what happens +z5Z9y-_WH08-00031-00007106-00007268 when I multiply two exponential +z5Z9y-_WH08-00032-00007268-00007511 expressions and so I'll say ok well here's +z5Z9y-_WH08-00033-00007511-00007713 what happens. 2 to the third is 2 times 2 +z5Z9y-_WH08-00034-00007713-00007911 times 2, and 2 to the second is 2 times 2 +z5Z9y-_WH08-00035-00007911-00008031 and altogether we have one two three +z5Z9y-_WH08-00036-00008031-00008331 four five factors of 2 and this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00037-00008331-00008654 looks like 2 to power 5 and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00038-00008654-00008808 while this leads us to the following +z5Z9y-_WH08-00039-00008808-00009003 generalization if i multiply two +z5Z9y-_WH08-00040-00009003-00009204 exponential expressions, then what I do is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00041-00009204-00009572 add the exponents and then I might say +z5Z9y-_WH08-00042-00009572-00009786 okay well here's an example 5 power 10 +z5Z9y-_WH08-00043-00009786-00009945 times 5 to the third and that's going to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00044-00009945-00010140 give us that and we'll assign this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00045-00010140-00010304 homework problems a bunch of finding +z5Z9y-_WH08-00046-00010304-00010521 products of exponential expressions. +z5Z9y-_WH08-00047-00010521-00010803 This is not a problem solving: it's +z5Z9y-_WH08-00048-00010803-00010959 actually doesn't have a specific name +z5Z9y-_WH08-00049-00010959-00011129 for it but maybe we'll call it example +z5Z9y-_WH08-00050-00011129-00011343 following. The reason it's not problem +z5Z9y-_WH08-00051-00011343-00011520 solving is that once you've been shown +z5Z9y-_WH08-00052-00011520-00011850 how to find the value a to power M times +z5Z9y-_WH08-00053-00011850-00012270 a to power n, finding these products is not a +z5Z9y-_WH08-00054-00012270-00012536 problem it's a matter of following an +z5Z9y-_WH08-00055-00012536-00012845 example and one of the problems here is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00056-00012845-00013037 that when mathematics is presented this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00057-00013037-00013225 way we train students +z5Z9y-_WH08-00058-00013225-00013480 to look for examples where similar +z5Z9y-_WH08-00059-00013480-00013708 questions have been solved and then to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00060-00013708-00013957 follow those examples to get an answer +z5Z9y-_WH08-00061-00013957-00014074 however there are some practical +z5Z9y-_WH08-00062-00014074-00014359 difficulties with this the main one is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00063-00014359-00014572 that it's impossible to give examples of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00064-00014572-00014746 every type of question that could +z5Z9y-_WH08-00065-00014746-00015025 possibly appear so sooner or later +z5Z9y-_WH08-00066-00015025-00015151 students are going to encounter +z5Z9y-_WH08-00067-00015151-00015391 questions for which they've never seen +z5Z9y-_WH08-00068-00015391-00015813 an example. Also a second problem +z5Z9y-_WH08-00069-00015813-00016047 which is that judging similarity requires +z5Z9y-_WH08-00070-00016047-00016194 some level of experience and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00071-00016194-00016306 sophistication +z5Z9y-_WH08-00072-00016306-00016531 so if i have just introduced here's how +z5Z9y-_WH08-00073-00016531-00016726 you multiply two exponential expressions +z5Z9y-_WH08-00074-00016726-00016923 it's fairly easy for students to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00075-00016923-00017212 identify that 2 the fifth times 2 to the sixth is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00076-00017212-00017422 equivalent is the same problem as +z5Z9y-_WH08-00077-00017422-00017602 5 to third times 5 to the second, and it's easy to see +z5Z9y-_WH08-00078-00017602-00017812 that the two problems are the same but +z5Z9y-_WH08-00079-00017812-00018034 at some point they're going to not have +z5Z9y-_WH08-00080-00018034-00018250 all their problems labeled and they'll +z5Z9y-_WH08-00081-00018250-00018505 have to make a decision and so for +z5Z9y-_WH08-00082-00018505-00018802 example 3x plus 5 equals 2x 3x plus 5 +z5Z9y-_WH08-00083-00018802-00019023 equals x squared well these problems +z5Z9y-_WH08-00084-00019023-00019459 appear similar but they're not solved in +z5Z9y-_WH08-00085-00019459-00019600 the same way they are radically +z5Z9y-_WH08-00086-00019600-00019840 different problems from a perspective of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00087-00019840-00020092 what you do with them next and that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00088-00020092-00020298 development of similarity that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00089-00020298-00020494 development of this ability to judge +z5Z9y-_WH08-00090-00020494-00020695 similarity is something that takes quite +z5Z9y-_WH08-00091-00020695-00020962 a bit of time and practice so this is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00092-00020962-00021148 why the shift has gone from following +z5Z9y-_WH08-00093-00021148-00021376 examples to solving problems and how +z5Z9y-_WH08-00094-00021376-00021565 might that show up well so instead of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00095-00021565-00021801 being given examples of how to multiply +z5Z9y-_WH08-00096-00021801-00022018 two exponential expression students can +z5Z9y-_WH08-00097-00022018-00022189 solve problems involving the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00098-00022189-00022318 multiplication of two exponential +z5Z9y-_WH08-00099-00022318-00022516 expressions and so this might occur in +z5Z9y-_WH08-00100-00022516-00022663 the following way we might begin the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00101-00022663-00022873 same way will define a to power n is the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00102-00022873-00023220 product of n factors of a and again we +z5Z9y-_WH08-00103-00023220-00023395 might say okay well here's an example of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00104-00023395-00023641 what we mean: 2 to power 3 is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00105-00023641-00024126 2 times 2 times 2, there are 3 factors of 2 at that point +z5Z9y-_WH08-00106-00024126-00024385 will introduce the problem what is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00107-00024385-00024592 2 to power 3 times 2 to power 2? +z5Z9y-_WH08-00108-00024592-00024961 And at this point rather than having us +z5Z9y-_WH08-00109-00024961-00025248 as the teachers solve this problem we +z5Z9y-_WH08-00110-00025248-00025459 want to shift the focus to the student and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00111-00025459-00025720 so the student hasn't been shown how to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00112-00025720-00025872 solve this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00113-00025872-00026070 this is an actual problem they have to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00114-00026070-00026338 integrate their understanding of this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00115-00026338-00026560 exponential concept +z5Z9y-_WH08-00116-00026560-00026860 to be able to solve it and if they +z5Z9y-_WH08-00117-00026860-00027082 understand the concept of exponents they +z5Z9y-_WH08-00118-00027082-00027358 can solve this with some guidance and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00119-00027358-00027592 then go on to again with some guidance +z5Z9y-_WH08-00120-00027592-00027870 more sophisticated problems find 5 to the 8th times 5 to the 12th, +z5Z9y-_WH08-00121-00027870-00028201 find X Y cubed to the second, +z5Z9y-_WH08-00122-00028201-00028492 and X plus 3 to the second and so on and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00123-00028492-00028705 they can solve other types of problems +z5Z9y-_WH08-00124-00028705-00029002 all based on this understanding of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00125-00029002-00029344 exponents as a repeated product problem +z5Z9y-_WH08-00126-00029344-00029617 and so all of these become real problems +z5Z9y-_WH08-00127-00029617-00029808 because they are not taught how to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00128-00029808-00029989 multiply 2 exponential expressions are +z5Z9y-_WH08-00129-00029989-00030256 not taught how to expand or divide two +z5Z9y-_WH08-00130-00030256-00030469 exponential expressions they're real +z5Z9y-_WH08-00131-00030469-00030697 problems whose solution is based on +z5Z9y-_WH08-00132-00030697-00031002 understanding the fundamental concept of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00133-00031002-00031291 powers as products.

One other important thing +z5Z9y-_WH08-00256-00059548-00059662 you have to be able to block the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00257-00059662-00059815 shortcut some of the students are +z5Z9y-_WH08-00258-00059815-00059967 already going to say oh well I know how +z5Z9y-_WH08-00259-00059967-00060117 to do this so I'm going to I'm going to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00260-00060117-00060313 follow the rule that I was taught so +z5Z9y-_WH08-00261-00060313-00060598 many of them will already know this rule +z5Z9y-_WH08-00262-00060598-00060804 you have to block the shortcuts if you +z5Z9y-_WH08-00263-00060804-00061029 want this to be a problem solving +z5Z9y-_WH08-00264-00061029-00061399 experience the challenge is making it a +z5Z9y-_WH08-00265-00061399-00061597 problem solving experience even for +z5Z9y-_WH08-00266-00061597-00061888 students who already know the rule. +z5Z9y-_WH08-00267-00061888-00061966 Is worth it? +z5Z9y-_WH08-00268-00061966-00062176 well mathematics is a collection of +z5Z9y-_WH08-00269-00062176-00062482 rules and algorithms to follow... +z5Z9y-_WH08-00270-00062482-00062674 said mathematician ever +z5Z9y-_WH08-00271-00062674-00062941 ok technically I just said it but we'll +z5Z9y-_WH08-00272-00062941-00063322 ignore the paradox of Epimenides. The idea is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00273-00063322-00063516 that nobody no mathematician is ever +z5Z9y-_WH08-00274-00063516-00063826 going to honestly claim that mathematics +z5Z9y-_WH08-00275-00063826-00063966 is collection of rules and algorithms to +z5Z9y-_WH08-00276-00063966-00064219 follow and so this is why problem-based +z5Z9y-_WH08-00277-00064219-00064455 learning is so very important with +z5Z9y-_WH08-00278-00064455-00064660 problem-based learning with a class +z5Z9y-_WH08-00279-00064660-00064954 centered around problem-solving we have +z5Z9y-_WH08-00280-00064954-00065200 the chance to reinforce conceptual +z5Z9y-_WH08-00281-00065200-00065407 understanding: if you don't know what +z5Z9y-_WH08-00282-00065407-00065626 a to power n means if you don't understand +z5Z9y-_WH08-00283-00065626-00065836 the concept that's embedded in this +z5Z9y-_WH08-00284-00065836-00066145 exponentiation then it's impossible for +z5Z9y-_WH08-00285-00066145-00066457 you to find the product and more +z5Z9y-_WH08-00286-00066457-00066603 importantly, you shouldn't +z5Z9y-_WH08-00287-00066603-00066828 be able to find the product. To give +z5Z9y-_WH08-00288-00066828-00067002 somebody the power rule for exponents +z5Z9y-_WH08-00289-00067002-00067347 who doesn't understand what exponents +z5Z9y-_WH08-00290-00067347-00067572 mean is like giving a chainsaw to a +z5Z9y-_WH08-00291-00067572-00067899 toddler. The other reason +z5Z9y-_WH08-00292-00067899-00068064 is that this trains students to think +z5Z9y-_WH08-00293-00068064-00068274 about mathematics the way that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00294-00068274-00068496 mathematicians think about mathematics +z5Z9y-_WH08-00295-00068496-00068823 so Benjamin Peirce (that's not a typo, +z5Z9y-_WH08-00296-00068823-00069087 his name is actually spelled P-E-I-R-C-E) +z5Z9y-_WH08-00297-00069087-00069291 Benjamin Peirce is one of the founding +z5Z9y-_WH08-00298-00069291-00069474 figures of American mathematics and he +z5Z9y-_WH08-00299-00069474-00069579 has this comment +z5Z9y-_WH08-00300-00069579-00069807 mathematics is the science of necessary +z5Z9y-_WH08-00301-00069807-00069954 consequences +z5Z9y-_WH08-00302-00069954-00070140 what mathematicians do is they begin +z5Z9y-_WH08-00303-00070140-00070395 with some sort of concept: a to power n, +z5Z9y-_WH08-00304-00070395-00070641 and they see what follows from that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00305-00070641-00071067 concept. And finally, another advantage +z5Z9y-_WH08-00306-00071067-00071352 to learning through problem solving is +z5Z9y-_WH08-00307-00071352-00071691 this humanizes mathematics: anything that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00308-00071691-00071949 can be solved by following an example +z5Z9y-_WH08-00309-00071949-00072246 can be done faster more accurately and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00310-00072246-00072579 less expensively by a computer so we +z5Z9y-_WH08-00311-00072579-00072804 have to ask ourselves a question: why +z5Z9y-_WH08-00312-00072804-00073083 learn how to follow examples when that +z5Z9y-_WH08-00313-00073083-00073332 could be done faster more accurately and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00314-00073332-00073593 less expensively by an inanimate device +z5Z9y-_WH08-00315-00073593-00073917 the real lesson of John Henry, the folk hero +z5Z9y-_WH08-00316-00073917-00074067 who tried to compete with the steam +z5Z9y-_WH08-00317-00074067-00074319 shovel is don't try to beat the machine +z5Z9y-_WH08-00318-00074319-00074559 you can't do it you cannot beat the +z5Z9y-_WH08-00319-00074559-00074856 machine but what you can do what you +z5Z9y-_WH08-00320-00074856-00075120 should do is you should try to transcend +z5Z9y-_WH08-00321-00075120-00075336 the machine. Things like be done by +z5Z9y-_WH08-00322-00075336-00075570 following example can be done my machine +z5Z9y-_WH08-00323-00075570-00075942 so this is not really a human task it's +z5Z9y-_WH08-00324-00075942-00076227 not worth trying to make yourself good +z5Z9y-_WH08-00325-00076227-00076428 at this because a computer will always +z5Z9y-_WH08-00326-00076428-00076626 be faster more accurate and less +z5Z9y-_WH08-00327-00076626-00076923 expensive. What a computer can't do what +z5Z9y-_WH08-00328-00076923-00077328 a machine can't do is problem solve and +z5Z9y-_WH08-00329-00077328-00077526 that is one of the main reasons we want +z5Z9y-_WH08-00330-00077526-00077697 to start focusing our efforts on +z5Z9y-_WH08-00331-00077697-00077964 learning how to solve problems instead +z5Z9y-_WH08-00332-00077964-00078605 of following examples +z6Tb719uEvY-00000-00000533-00000901 When I came here we were quickly identified as a priority school in need of +z6Tb719uEvY-00001-00000901-00001508 improvement one of I think...I mean -- I don't...I think they're around 30 maybe +z6Tb719uEvY-00002-00001508-00001859 upwards of 40 in the state who have been identified and we were in the second +z6Tb719uEvY-00003-00001859-00002246 cohort and that's because our proficiency rates on the statewide tests +z6Tb719uEvY-00004-00002246-00002461 back in 2010 +z6Tb719uEvY-00005-00002461-00002984 if you take 3rd grade as a barometer, only 17 percent of our 3rd +z6Tb719uEvY-00006-00002984-00003275 graders were proficient in math in 2010 +z6Tb719uEvY-00007-00003275-00003686 according to the state tests and only about, I want to say it was like 37 +z6Tb719uEvY-00008-00003686-00004033 percent of our 3rd graders were proficient in reading that same cohort +z6Tb719uEvY-00009-00004033-00004912 and so that's clearly -- that's tough there was nothing that...things weren't working and +z6Tb719uEvY-00010-00004912-00005639 so as the principal we had to make a plan and that plan involved teachers, +z6Tb719uEvY-00011-00005639-00006097 parents, and students about closing gaps but not just achievement gaps but equity +z6Tb719uEvY-00012-00006097-00006148 gaps +z6Tb719uEvY-00013-00006148-00006518 I mean we didn't even have wireless internet in the school in the fall of +z6Tb719uEvY-00014-00006518-00006908 2007 and so while we wrote for a school improvement grant we +z6Tb719uEvY-00015-00006908-00007328 simultaneously wrote to become the model school for blended learning and we got, +z6Tb719uEvY-00016-00007328-00007720 we got that grant. We co-wrote it with the Highlighter Institute and they really +z6Tb719uEvY-00017-00007720-00008276 did a nice job giving our teachers professional development and us +z6Tb719uEvY-00018-00008276-00008624 getting almost a half million dollars of the course of two years to populate the +z6Tb719uEvY-00019-00008624-00009182 building with smart boards, devices, support from the district and getting us +z6Tb719uEvY-00020-00009182-00009764 to go wireless with the eRate Bond and good things started to happen when we +z6Tb719uEvY-00021-00009764-00010190 started to focus on our weakness which was math and so we started with just +z6Tb719uEvY-00022-00010190-00010742 math, blended learning, station rotation model, direct instruction with the +z6Tb719uEvY-00023-00010742-00011120 teachers, small flexible group based on data, independent station kids are on +z6Tb719uEvY-00024-00011120-00011528 laptops or an iPad and then the collaborative station where they were +z6Tb719uEvY-00025-00011528-00011650 working with each other and +z6Tb719uEvY-00026-00011650-00012157 manipulatives to support or strengthen or build on whatever it was that they're +z6Tb719uEvY-00027-00012157-00012643 working on and so that's where we started and things rapidly -- and the +z6Tb719uEvY-00028-00012643-00013297 culture changed too, there became a culture of higher expectations and it was never +z6Tb719uEvY-00029-00013297-00013363 about that +z6Tb719uEvY-00030-00013363-00013822 I always said to the teachers the test scores will take care of themselves +z6Tb719uEvY-00031-00013903-00014380 if we change the way things are happening and so if kids are engaged and +z6Tb719uEvY-00032-00014380-00014584 happy and coming to school +z6Tb719uEvY-00033-00014584-00015048 they will want to learn more in and out of school and test scores will +z6Tb719uEvY-00034-00015048-00015262 continue to improve +z6Tb719uEvY-00035-00015262-00015781 despite the barriers that are real that we face and that's what happened so we +z6Tb719uEvY-00036-00015781-00016303 set our goals at like 3 to 4 percent increases each year and we +z6Tb719uEvY-00037-00016303-00016690 started smashing those goals even the 1st year like the 1st year the +z6Tb719uEvY-00038-00016690-00017113 proficiency went from 17 percent in third grade math proficiency up to 27 +z6Tb719uEvY-00039-00017113-00017743 and then from 27 percent up to 35 and then from 35 up to 49 and so it +z6Tb719uEvY-00040-00017743-00017920 was a consistent... +z6Tb719uEvY-00041-00017920-00018406 that's just what we wanted to see if not more and then they changed the test and went +z6Tb719uEvY-00042-00018406-00018997 from the NECAP test to the PARCC test and so kind of recalibrated and we saw +z6Tb719uEvY-00043-00018997-00019372 great gains in ELA too - and so the teachers are the ones that started +z6Tb719uEvY-00044-00019372-00019819 blending in ELA and differentiating instruction for ELA because it was +z6Tb719uEvY-00045-00019819-00020548 working so well in math and so I knew we would hit a wall at some point and that +z6Tb719uEvY-00046-00020548-00021195 really kind of motivated the shift from blended learning to personalized learning +z6Tb719uEvY-00047-00021195-00021895 in 1st grade, not 1st grade -- that...when I knew we'd hit a wall +z6Tb719uEvY-00048-00021895-00022251 that's what prompted the shift from blended to personalized learning in 5th +z6Tb719uEvY-00049-00022251-00022301 grade +z7VI0k7DAWA-00000-00000041-00000867 We are in Seismic Refraction Lecture 1. This will be the third +z7VI0k7DAWA-00001-00000867-00002014 lecture in this class. We're working on the "Seismic1.pdf", on page 21. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00002-00002014-00002796 I didn't talk about Huygens Principle yet; +z7VI0k7DAWA-00003-00002796-00003357 I will talk about it later in the reflection part. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00004-00003357-00003647 Seismic refraction is based on Fermat's Principle and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00005-00003647-00004353 Snell's law. I've that written here in terms of inverse velocities. You can +z7VI0k7DAWA-00006-00004353-00004905 see that sine theta1 goes with the velocity in medium 1, V1 and sine theta2 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00007-00004905-00005532 goes with V2 in this inverse relationship. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00008-00005532-00006164 If you've forgotten that the ratio of the sine of the angle of propagation from +z7VI0k7DAWA-00009-00006164-00006908 vertical versus the velocity stays constant. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00010-00006908-00007598 It turns out that the ratio is equal to a parameter that we can measure right on +z7VI0k7DAWA-00011-00007598-00008052 our seismic recordings. That's where we actually get a lot of our data, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00012-00008052-00009039 by looking at the slope of the wave arrivals directly in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00013-00009039-00009525 our records. Even out in the field we can take a simple display of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00014-00009525-00010427 our seismic recording and get this dt/dx. That is how much time +z7VI0k7DAWA-00015-00010427-00011489 particular wave takes to travel a certain distance. You've seen +z7VI0k7DAWA-00016-00011489-00012006 the concepts of refraction and reflection, and you've seen the concept +z7VI0k7DAWA-00017-00012006-00013053 of the critical refraction. That occurs in the upper medium when the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00018-00013053-00013626 angle of incidence reaches the critical angle, which is theta sub c. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00019-00013626-00014478 The sine of that critical angle is equal to the ratio of V1/V2. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00020-00014478-00014988 This only happens when V1 is less than v2. In other words, when velocity +z7VI0k7DAWA-00021-00014988-00015726 increases with depth. We're gonna apply these concepts looking at our +z7VI0k7DAWA-00022-00015726-00016461 seismic recordings. The first question I get when I show you some seismic +z7VI0k7DAWA-00023-00016461-00016884 recordings is usually: "How do you tell what's a reflection, what's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00024-00016884-00017376 a refraction, what's an air wave, what's a Rayleigh wave, what's a direct +z7VI0k7DAWA-00025-00017376-00017988 wave?" All of those questions are very good questions. We ask +z7VI0k7DAWA-00026-00017988-00018434 this question: "How do we separate these different wave types in our observations?" +z7VI0k7DAWA-00027-00018434-00018912 In our seismic records? I might sometimes call a different +z7VI0k7DAWA-00028-00018912-00019536 wave type a different "phase." We have seismic energy +z7VI0k7DAWA-00029-00019536-00020004 propagating, and just like a solid can change into a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00030-00020004-00020790 liquid phase, we can have a P-wave phase change into a refraction phase. I'm +z7VI0k7DAWA-00031-00020790-00021239 gonna start examining this question and hopefully illuminating for you how we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00032-00021239-00021801 decide what kind of wave is what by illustrating what you get in a couple of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00033-00021801-00022560 different simple situations. On the left are some model cross sections. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00034-00022560-00023066 You can tell they're cross sections because we've got x horizontally and z +z7VI0k7DAWA-00035-00023066-00023772 vertically. On the right is what the seismic recording will look like. I +z7VI0k7DAWA-00036-00023772-00024291 mean, not really what it'll look like, but if we drew lines along the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00037-00024291-00024828 arrival times of these different wave types, of these different seismic phases, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00038-00024828-00025518 what slope would that line have? How +z7VI0k7DAWA-00039-00025518-00026390 are the seismic arrivals going to line up for the different different phases? +z7VI0k7DAWA-00040-00026390-00027051 We'll look at a simple model first, which is a "constant-velocity" model. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00041-00027051-00027567 know it's just, say, solid Sierran granite. P velocity of Vp, an S velocity +z7VI0k7DAWA-00042-00027567-00028080 of Vs. There's some sort of reflector down here, but it doesn't +z7VI0k7DAWA-00043-00028080-00028569 change the velocity, or at least we ignore that, down here at depth Zr. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00044-00028569-00029244 We also will look in a second at a more complicated model, where +z7VI0k7DAWA-00045-00029244-00029745 we have an interface between two different media, and that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00046-00029745-00030389 interface is at a certain depth. That interface produces +z7VI0k7DAWA-00047-00030389-00030894 refractions, it produces reflections- it can only of course produce a refraction +z7VI0k7DAWA-00048-00030894-00031716 if V1 is less than V2. The upper medium has a velocity V1, which is less +z7VI0k7DAWA-00049-00031716-00032061 than the velocity in the lower medium, which is V2. We're going to be +z7VI0k7DAWA-00050-00032061-00032838 talking about P velocities in this case. We can also put in this dashed +z7VI0k7DAWA-00051-00032838-00033390 reflection, which is cut off in the slide down at the bottom, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00052-00033390-00033900 and see where that will come in. Let's look first at the simple +z7VI0k7DAWA-00053-00033900-00034347 situation. We've got a cross section on the left, and on the right +z7VI0k7DAWA-00054-00034347-00035007 we've got a data section. What are the axes in this? The horizontal +z7VI0k7DAWA-00055-00035007-00035577 axis is the separation or the distance between the source of seismic energy +z7VI0k7DAWA-00056-00035577-00036135 and the recorder, the geophone. We'll call that the "offset," the source- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00057-00036135-00036626 to-receiver offset. It's really just a distance horizontally along the ground. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00058-00036626-00037473 I'll denote it here by a capital X, big X. It's just the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00059-00037473-00038049 absolute value of the x location of the geophone x sub g, and you subtract from +z7VI0k7DAWA-00060-00038049-00038601 that the x location of the source, which is x sub s. We assume the source is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00061-00038601-00039366 right at the surface, as your hammer hits will be. It's a very similar +z7VI0k7DAWA-00062-00039366-00039867 axis- over here in the model we've got x sub s- that's the location of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00063-00039867-00040276 the source, and here's x sub g. The axis on the right-hand +z7VI0k7DAWA-00064-00040276-00040801 side is really just right along the very same axis over here. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00065-00040801-00041359 It's just that the offset starts at the source location. We're only going to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00066-00041359-00041728 worry here about geophone locations that are to the right +z7VI0k7DAWA-00067-00041728-00042730 of the source. What's this vertical axis? The vertical +z7VI0k7DAWA-00068-00042730-00043369 axis in the section of course is depth "z". The vertical axis in the data +z7VI0k7DAWA-00069-00043369-00043702 section, well that's time "t", how long +z7VI0k7DAWA-00070-00043702-00044242 does the wave take to arrive? We don't have a depth axis. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00071-00044242-00045082 This is a big deal with seismic +z7VI0k7DAWA-00072-00045082-00045916 recording, whether it's reflection or refraction, or even seismic surface-wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00073-00045916-00046612 analysis, refraction microtremor. We record data in time. We record the waves +z7VI0k7DAWA-00074-00046612-00047170 as they arrive in time. We have to do some manipulations, some modeling, some +z7VI0k7DAWA-00075-00047170-00047608 calculations to figure out how deep things are. That's a big deal. That's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00076-00047608-00048046 why we're doing the seismic work; to figure out +z7VI0k7DAWA-00077-00048046-00048481 how deep things are: how deep are the reflectors, how deep are the refractors. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00078-00048481-00048976 To figure out how deep they are, we have to figure out velocities. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00079-00048976-00049270 These different velocities that these different waves are appearing at +z7VI0k7DAWA-00080-00049270-00050032 are of great interest to us. First we're looking at the surface of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00081-00050032-00050740 the earth here on the left-hand side, on the cross section. The +z7VI0k7DAWA-00082-00050740-00051103 source is at the surface, the receiver is at the surface, so there's a wave that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00083-00051103-00051694 propagates from the hammer hit, through the air, to the receiver, whatever +z7VI0k7DAWA-00084-00051694-00052144 distance that receiver is. Here we've got one particular example of an x sub g. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00085-00052144-00052702 That air wave is propagating just right above +z7VI0k7DAWA-00086-00052702-00053239 the surface. We have the surface of the earth here, air above and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00087-00053239-00053566 rock down below, or soil if you'd rather call it soil. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00088-00053566-00054401 Air has a really constant velocity especially during one experiment, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00089-00054401-00054964 on the scale that we do our seismic experiments. That velocity, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00090-00054964-00055436 if you don't remember from the velocity table, it's right about 330 meters per +z7VI0k7DAWA-00091-00055436-00055901 second. We'll find that air wave here, and the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00092-00055901-00056264 330 meters per second, if you remember the velocity tables up above in the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00093-00056264-00057088 notes, is pretty slow. The air wave is going to take more time than +z7VI0k7DAWA-00094-00057088-00057908 most all the other waves to get from the source to the receiver. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00095-00057908-00058376 In the data section- and I'll start calling it a "time section," or +z7VI0k7DAWA-00096-00058376-00058910 really it is a "time-distance plot" of offset versus time- the air wave is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00097-00058910-00059333 one of the steepest. Why, because being steep, to go a short distance it +z7VI0k7DAWA-00098-00059333-00059929 takes a lot of time. It's not always true with the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00099-00059929-00060419 experiments we'll do that the air wave will be the slowest wave. But let's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00100-00060419-00060877 assume that it is. That's a pretty typical situation. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00101-00060877-00061385 The air wave is this steep line here. It's a straight line because the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00102-00061385-00061879 velocity is constant: it's just propagating +z7VI0k7DAWA-00103-00061879-00062416 according to the distance of the receiver from the source; +z7VI0k7DAWA-00104-00062416-00062827 of the geophone from the source. As you step out to larger distances +z7VI0k7DAWA-00105-00062827-00063316 it's proportionately larger, thus a straight line. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00106-00063316-00063719 Let's see what else is coming in, from this source to this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00107-00063719-00064108 receiver. There's a lot of different waves arriving. The air wave is just +z7VI0k7DAWA-00108-00064108-00064829 the slowest one usually. There's also a direct P wave, propagating +z7VI0k7DAWA-00109-00064829-00065329 straight from the source to the receiver, but in the ground. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00110-00065329-00065756 Not in the air, but in the ground. That propagates of course at the P velocity. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00111-00065756-00066188 I said this section has a constant velocity, at least in the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00112-00066188-00066635 rock, constant Vp, constant Vs, constant air +z7VI0k7DAWA-00113-00066635-00067154 velocity. The P-wave velocity is faster than the S-wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00114-00067154-00067658 velocity, so the P arrival, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00115-00067658-00068060 the compressional wave, should be the first to arrive. It's gonna have this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00116-00068060-00068795 shallowest slope. The time is equal to the distance divided by the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00117-00068795-00069347 P-wave velocity [t = X/Vp]. That describes a constant slope. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00118-00069347-00069854 Technically, the slope of this line- which I haven't +z7VI0k7DAWA-00119-00069854-00070220 drawn exactly straight but should be exactly straight- the slope of the line +z7VI0k7DAWA-00120-00070220-00070915 is the inverse of the velocity Vp. All we have to do is just observe this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00121-00070915-00071380 arrival Vp. It's gonna be the first one to arrive so it should be easy to see. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00122-00071380-00071848 If we don't see it, that means that our experiment isn't working very well. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00123-00071848-00072374 We're not putting enough energy in, or the noise is too much. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00124-00072374-00072836 Once we see it, we just draw a straight line through it. We make +z7VI0k7DAWA-00125-00072836-00073349 sure that line goes right back to zero time at zero distance. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00126-00073349-00074060 It's got to go exactly back to the origin. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00127-00074060-00074531 If we put the receiver right on top of the source, it's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00128-00074531-00075061 gonna get there at exactly the time that we hit the plate with the hammer, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00129-00075061-00075689 or hit the ground with the hammer. That time is zero time on this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00130-00075689-00076103 scale. It'll have some some absolute time and date and all +z7VI0k7DAWA-00131-00076103-00076595 that, but for all of these time-distance plots and the records that we'll look at, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00132-00076595-00077108 the time starts at that time when the hammer hits the plate. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00133-00077108-00077507 How do we get that time? I'll show you in the field. I'll show you as we're +z7VI0k7DAWA-00134-00077507-00078089 training you to take these seismic surveys. We have a little sensor that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00135-00078089-00078707 rides on the hammer handle, and within a few +z7VI0k7DAWA-00136-00078707-00079175 microseconds of the hammer hitting the plate, it'll notify the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00137-00079175-00079655 seismograph that that is the zero time, the time it sets to zero. That's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00138-00079655-00080021 actually when the seismograph starts to record. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00139-00080021-00080654 We have the slowest wave, the airwave with a steep slope here; the fastest wave, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00140-00080654-00081320 the P-wave with this shallowest slope here. There're other ones. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00141-00081320-00081926 Remember the S-wave velocity is about half, maybe as much as two-thirds of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00142-00081926-00082400 the P wave velocity? The S-wave velocity is slower. The S arrival is still a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00143-00082400-00083047 straight line since Vs is still constant. It's gonna be in-between here. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00144-00083047-00083525 It takes about twice as +z7VI0k7DAWA-00145-00083525-00083936 much time for the S wave to arrive, as the P wave. I've almost drawn it right here. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00146-00083936-00084505 Then the Rayleigh wave, if you remember Rayleigh waves, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00147-00084505-00085145 that's this other dashed line here. The Rayleigh-wave velocity is 90% of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00148-00085145-00085702 the S-wave velocity. So this slope is just a little bit steeper than the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00149-00085702-00086087 Vs slope. If we can see those slopes, then we can measure +z7VI0k7DAWA-00150-00086087-00086591 those wave velocities too. In fact, a couple of lectures from now we'll +z7VI0k7DAWA-00151-00086591-00087335 actually start measuring those velocities. We have P waves, S waves, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00152-00087335-00087668 Rayleigh waves. They're all propagating right along the surface from +z7VI0k7DAWA-00153-00087668-00088151 the source to the receiver. Of course, what we want to do is we want +z7VI0k7DAWA-00154-00088151-00088583 to probe below the surface. We could also be interested in the velocity +z7VI0k7DAWA-00155-00088583-00089090 right at the surface; this kind of survey is very good at +z7VI0k7DAWA-00156-00089090-00089651 getting that. But maybe we want to see some +z7VI0k7DAWA-00157-00089651-00090023 structure, and we want to get the depth to that structure. Here we have a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00158-00090023-00090508 flat reflector at depth Z sub r, the depth of the reflector. A wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00159-00090508-00090911 comes down from the source, bounces off at the same angle, comes back up to the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00160-00090911-00091442 to the geophone. If you think about it, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00161-00091442-00091829 when the geophone is very, very far away compared to the depth to the reflector, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00162-00091829-00092432 this triangle is open very wide and the legs of it +z7VI0k7DAWA-00163-00092432-00093230 are almost horizontal. At very great distances, the time of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00164-00093230-00093654 the reflection approaches- it's a little bit more +z7VI0k7DAWA-00165-00093654-00094104 but approaches- the time of the P-wave- if we're talking about a P-wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00166-00094104-00094883 reflection, which we are. There's also a minimum time that it takes, even +z7VI0k7DAWA-00167-00094883-00095414 if you put the source right on top of the receiver, the wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00168-00095414-00096117 still has to go down, bounce off, and come back up. So there's a minimum time. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00169-00096117-00096747 If you work it out, you can just make an +z7VI0k7DAWA-00170-00096747-00097208 equation for the length of the two sides of this triangle here- that's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00171-00097208-00097860 what this equation is here- the travel time squared is equal to four +z7VI0k7DAWA-00172-00097860-00098417 times the depth of the reflector squared divided by the P velocity squared plus +z7VI0k7DAWA-00173-00098417-00099006 the offset capital X squared divided by the P velocity squared. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00174-00099006-00099737 That's actually the equation of a hyperbola in this record. The +z7VI0k7DAWA-00175-00099737-00100530 hyperbola will have a top, that's at zero offset. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00176-00100530-00100970 If you allow negative offsets, then you would curve off in the other +z7VI0k7DAWA-00177-00100970-00101525 direction down to the left. At zero offset it has the minimum time. That +z7VI0k7DAWA-00178-00101525-00101858 makes sense; you put both the source and the receiver right above the reflector. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00179-00101858-00102395 That's gonna be the minimum time. Being a hyperbola, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00180-00102395-00103031 what is the slope of this line? It's actually flat right at zero offset. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00181-00103031-00103572 It's perfectly flat right at zero offset in this ideal situation. That +z7VI0k7DAWA-00182-00103572-00103998 means that the apparent velocity- the velocity that we think we're seeing- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00183-00103998-00104514 is infinite. Of course, that doesn't represent the actual rock +z7VI0k7DAWA-00184-00104514-00105083 velocity. While Vair represents the air velocity; the shear wave velocity on this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00185-00105083-00105503 straight line represents the true shear- wave velocity of this constant velocity +z7VI0k7DAWA-00186-00105503-00106208 model; and the P-wave slope represents the true P velocity. But this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00187-00106208-00106683 infinite velocity, of course, it can't represent +z7VI0k7DAWA-00188-00106683-00107214 the true P velocity. Even though it's a P wave reflection. What we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00189-00107214-00107654 look at, though, is if we can figure out what slope this +z7VI0k7DAWA-00190-00107654-00108209 hyperbola is asymptotic to, that'll give us the P-wave velocity. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00191-00108209-00108626 That minimum time, if we go to the equation here if you can see +z7VI0k7DAWA-00192-00108626-00109265 it, t squared is 4 Zr squared over Vp squared, plus another term which is X +z7VI0k7DAWA-00193-00109265-00110078 squared over Vp squared. If we take X squared to be 0, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00194-00110078-00110501 then the second term goes away, and if we have this time that we can convert it +z7VI0k7DAWA-00195-00110501-00111215 directly to depth. We take half the time and we divide by the P-wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00196-00111215-00111651 velocity, and we get the depth. There's our very first +z7VI0k7DAWA-00197-00111651-00112301 way of getting depth. So that's the simple +z7VI0k7DAWA-00198-00112301-00112805 situation and the analysis you can do there. There is some clue I hope on +z7VI0k7DAWA-00199-00112805-00113325 how we separate, and how we know what's what in our seismic records? What +z7VI0k7DAWA-00200-00113325-00113690 kind of wave is it? I ask you that question a lot in the in the labs. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00201-00113690-00114219 The answer is in: what's the slope of the wave, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00202-00114219-00114803 what's its distance versus time? That gives you the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00203-00114803-00115226 velocity. By comparing the different slopes, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00204-00115226-00115623 the different velocities in the section, you can usually figure out +z7VI0k7DAWA-00205-00115623-00115991 what kind of wave you're looking at. Let's introduce some +z7VI0k7DAWA-00206-00115991-00116523 additional complication. That's this layer over a half space. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00207-00116523-00116919 The layer is constant velocity; the half space is constant velocity. We're just +z7VI0k7DAWA-00208-00116919-00117648 gonna look at at P waves. In the layer above, it's P +z7VI0k7DAWA-00209-00117648-00118463 velocity V1, and in the layer below it's P velocity V2. That also +z7VI0k7DAWA-00210-00118463-00118955 constant in the layer below. We still get the the direct wave. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00211-00118955-00119591 Now I've made the slope a little bit steeper, but that's the same V1. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00212-00119591-00120072 There's still a Rayleigh wave, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00213-00120072-00120383 which they're drawn as this dashed line; there's still an air wave; I put that in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00214-00120383-00120821 there. We're looking at kind of an expanded plot now. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00215-00120821-00121452 There's a very important phase here. We're gonna see why exactly. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00216-00121452-00121841 There's a wave that comes down, converts to a refraction- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00217-00121841-00122295 it's at the critical angle and it runs right along just +z7VI0k7DAWA-00218-00122295-00122828 underneath the interface between V1 and V2 . Being just underneath, it's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00219-00122828-00123428 propagating at this faster velocity V2. That starts about here and then +z7VI0k7DAWA-00220-00123428-00123852 it comes back up. So it has a minimum time- you put the source and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00221-00123852-00124208 receiver together and you're gonna observe that minimum time. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00222-00124208-00124800 It connects to the reflection- here's the reflection that's asymptotic to V1; +z7VI0k7DAWA-00223-00124800-00125216 you can see that's the upper reflection from the upper interface. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00224-00125216-00125680 There's a lower interface too- we're not going to deal with that right now. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00225-00125680-00126554 The refraction has this minimum time right +z7VI0k7DAWA-00226-00126554-00126948 along the reflection okay but the refraction doesn't really develop until +z7VI0k7DAWA-00227-00126948-00127559 you separate these two legs that are both that are both at the critical +z7VI0k7DAWA-00228-00127559-00128070 angle. So there's some minimum distance to get a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00229-00128070-00128547 refracted wave. That's called the "critical distance." Very hard to observe, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00230-00128547-00129161 but easy to calculate. At that dot right there, you'll start getting a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00231-00129161-00129617 straight line. Then the straight line- as you keep increasing the distance +z7VI0k7DAWA-00232-00129617-00130058 between the source and the receiver, you're not gonna change the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00233-00130058-00130565 lengths of these legs of the refraction, which are the middle ones. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00234-00130565-00131066 You're gonna change the length of time it +z7VI0k7DAWA-00235-00131066-00131451 spends in the V2 medium, in the lower medium, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00236-00131451-00131964 In the half space right under the interface. That we will start calling a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00237-00131964-00132653 "refractor." That's another straight line, but it's at V2 now. V2 has +z7VI0k7DAWA-00238-00132653-00133178 to be greater; we don't get a refraction unless V2 is greater than V1. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00239-00133178-00133786 Eventually, it's at a shallower slope, and it outruns and crosses over the V1 line of the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00240-00133786-00134263 direct P wave. It becomes the first arrival, the first thing that you see. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00241-00134263-00134626 If you're out here at further distance you see noise, noise, noise, and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00242-00134626-00135598 then finally at this V2 time you see a wave coming in. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00243-00135598-00136222 That's the refraction Then the other reflection down below is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00244-00136222-00136696 going to be asymptotic to that. Let's apply that now. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00245-00136696-00137296 We're going to page 22 of the notes which has a (9) at the top right- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00246-00137296-00137577 don't ask me why. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00247-00137586-00138235 We're going to start looking at the Seismic Refraction technique. (At the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00248-00138235-00138754 end of the last notes I said reflection by mistake.) It's the most fundamental +z7VI0k7DAWA-00249-00138754-00139396 technique. What it gives us is a direct estimation of rock velocities- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00250-00139396-00140107 usually P velocities. It's also very good at coming up with very accurate +z7VI0k7DAWA-00251-00140107-00140635 velocities that are averaged over some distance, like the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00252-00140635-00141007 distance between the sources and the receivers. Or, averaged over the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00253-00141007-00141634 the length of the cable you use to connect the receivers all +z7VI0k7DAWA-00254-00141634-00142878 together. What can you do with rock with rock velocities? +z7VI0k7DAWA-00255-00142878-00143433 You could do a little bit of geological work. You can use +z7VI0k7DAWA-00256-00143433-00144004 the seismic refraction survey and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00257-00144004-00144567 analysis techniques in two modes: you can use it for sounding; and you can use it +z7VI0k7DAWA-00258-00144567-00145009 for profiling. When you're sounding, your you're trying to stand in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00259-00145009-00145552 one place and look down. You're just looking for depths to refractors. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00260-00145552-00145954 A refractor is any place where there's a sharp increase in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00261-00145954-00146505 velocity with depth. You can also use it for +z7VI0k7DAWA-00262-00146505-00147052 profiling: you look for changes in depth- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00263-00147052-00147625 maybe the refractors are dipping, so the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00264-00147625-00147973 refractors will change depth depending on where you are above them, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00265-00147973-00148360 on what's your x location. You can also look for changes in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00266-00148360-00148860 velocity. There are a lot of things, such as hot springs, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00267-00148860-00149569 geothermal resources, faulting, fracturing, soil development- that will change +z7VI0k7DAWA-00268-00149569-00150217 velocities with respect to where you are. You can see that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00269-00150217-00150682 seismic refraction gets you the ratio between depth and velocity +z7VI0k7DAWA-00270-00150682-00151158 above refractors. You can usually +z7VI0k7DAWA-00271-00151158-00151792 define this in terms of the topography of the refractor. It's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00272-00151792-00152170 most accurate for locating strong refractors such as the bottom of the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00273-00152170-00152644 unsaturated zone, or let's say the water table; the floor of the basin; buried +z7VI0k7DAWA-00274-00152644-00153487 volcanics; or just the simple hard rock where you'd have +z7VI0k7DAWA-00275-00153487-00153979 to start blasting if you're excavating instead of just removing it with a dozer. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00276-00153979-00154786 Seismic refraction surveys are very popular for "rippability" +z7VI0k7DAWA-00277-00154786-00155275 tests, and foundation work. In these you're trying to locate how +z7VI0k7DAWA-00278-00155275-00155845 deep the hard rock is at a site, and does the depth to hard rock change across +z7VI0k7DAWA-00279-00155845-00156397 the site. You can't design your foundation until you have the answers to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00280-00156397-00156988 those questions. If the death to hard rock is really great, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00281-00156988-00157450 then if it's a big enough building, you're gonna have to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00282-00157450-00158097 build a foundation on piles. You're trying to do an excavation and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00283-00158097-00158626 you have a certain depth, say for a pipeline, that you need to excavate +z7VI0k7DAWA-00284-00158626-00158911 to. If you find that there's really hard rock +z7VI0k7DAWA-00285-00158911-00159364 that's not very rippable- or if it takes such an expensive large +z7VI0k7DAWA-00286-00159364-00159883 bulldozer to rip it, that becomes impractical. You want to know where +z7VI0k7DAWA-00287-00159883-00160417 that hard rock appears before you start ripping. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00288-00160417-00160864 Having to go back and and rent a larger dozer- that's pretty +z7VI0k7DAWA-00289-00160864-00161281 expensive. All the work stops until you can get that larger +z7VI0k7DAWA-00290-00161281-00161781 dozer in there. So these seismic refraction surveys are very popular +z7VI0k7DAWA-00291-00161781-00162376 for that kind of work. Here's our simplified time distance plot for a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00292-00162376-00162829 layer over a half space. Time increases down. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00293-00162829-00163303 I forgot to say that when we were looking at the general diagrams. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00294-00163303-00163875 This is still the x-axis, the distance +z7VI0k7DAWA-00295-00163875-00164623 axis. When you're right on top of the source, you see it go off at +z7VI0k7DAWA-00296-00164623-00165372 zero time. It's zero distance, zero time (0,0). +z7VI0k7DAWA-00297-00165372-00165979 The first arrival is the direct P-wave for a while. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00298-00165979-00166609 Then after the "crossover distance" the refraction beats it out, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00299-00166609-00167356 comes out ahead of it, and becomes the first arrival. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00300-00167356-00168112 The direct P wave is traveling at velocity V1. If we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00301-00168112-00168544 just have a simple layer over half space, so the refractor- the interface- is flat, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00302-00168544-00169393 then the velocity below the interface, the velocity of the refractor, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00303-00169393-00170302 is going to be exactly the same as the slope, this dx/dt, of this first +z7VI0k7DAWA-00304-00170302-00170701 arrival at larger distance. That's the key: you identify when you have a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00305-00170701-00171346 refraction when you have two slopes. You have a slope from the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00306-00171346-00172102 source location with a smaller velocity V1, and then it's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00307-00172102-00172801 overtaken after a crossover distance by a larger velocity V2. You just +z7VI0k7DAWA-00308-00172801-00173242 observe that change in slope, from low velocity to high velocity. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00309-00173242-00173671 That's all you need to know. That identifies pretty +z7VI0k7DAWA-00310-00173671-00174232 certainly that you have a refractor. You can then do refraction +z7VI0k7DAWA-00311-00174232-00174714 analysis. What are some of the things we measure? We try to measure the cross- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00312-00174714-00175144 over distance, which as you can see here, it's often in between our receivers. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00313-00175144-00175720 We're just connecting the dots. We have maybe 12 or 24 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00314-00175720-00176362 receivers here- usually no more than 48- so they have some distance +z7VI0k7DAWA-00315-00176362-00176851 between the geophones. Our crossover distance usually +z7VI0k7DAWA-00316-00176851-00177399 will occur right between a couple of the receivers. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00317-00177399-00177985 If we take the refraction line and project it back to the zero distance +z7VI0k7DAWA-00318-00177985-00178590 axis- to the time axis, even though the refraction doesn't exist +z7VI0k7DAWA-00319-00178590-00179011 at zero distance, we still mark that time. We call that an "intercept time," where +z7VI0k7DAWA-00320-00179011-00179707 it's the intercept of the refraction slope with the time axis.That's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00321-00179707-00180492 called t sub i, intercept time. We can't +z7VI0k7DAWA-00322-00180492-00180988 usually see the critical distance x sub c. We can't usually see it. We can guess the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00323-00180988-00181435 crossover distance usually right from the data- we can slap some +z7VI0k7DAWA-00324-00181435-00182200 rulers down on our record, or put our arrival +z7VI0k7DAWA-00325-00182200-00183279 times and distances into Excel. We can get the V1, the dx/dt +z7VI0k7DAWA-00326-00183279-00183883 for V1; we get V2; we get the intercept time- we just extend it +z7VI0k7DAWA-00327-00183883-00184415 back to the the axis- that's what we measure in refraction work. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00328-00184415-00185020 Here's the the cross section that corresponds to this, and I hope to make +z7VI0k7DAWA-00329-00185020-00185812 it clearer. Here's the source at zero distance, x equals zero. This +z7VI0k7DAWA-00330-00185812-00186559 vertical axis is z depth, for a cross section. z1 is the depth of the refractor; +z7VI0k7DAWA-00331-00186559-00187151 the refractor is flat; we get velocity V1 above, V2 below. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00332-00187151-00187870 If the wave goes down from the source at theta sub c, which is the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00333-00187870-00188424 critical angle, and comes straight back up, just like a reflection +z7VI0k7DAWA-00334-00188424-00188809 right there, that distance from the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00335-00188809-00189477 source to the geophone is going to be X sub c, the critical distance. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00336-00189477-00189994 After it's propagated a while in the faster rock down below the refractor, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00337-00189994-00190461 it'll come back up at the same critical angle, and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00338-00190461-00190921 we'll see it come in at the crossover distance, where +z7VI0k7DAWA-00339-00190921-00191545 it just starts to overtake the direct P wave, which is right here. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00340-00191545-00192145 Refraction requires, as I've said before, V1 to be less than v2. The +z7VI0k7DAWA-00341-00192145-00192682 critical angle here, as we looked at before when we talked about +z7VI0k7DAWA-00342-00192682-00193260 bending from the critical angle to 90 degrees. This +z7VI0k7DAWA-00343-00193260-00194088 refraction here, this refracted leg of the propagation ray path is at +z7VI0k7DAWA-00344-00194088-00194659 90° from vertical, and 90° from +z7VI0k7DAWA-00345-00194659-00195266 the normal to the refractor. (They're the same thing.) +z7VI0k7DAWA-00346-00195266-00196084 The critical angle is the inverse sine of V1 over V2. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00347-00196084-00196437 Thus, if we know the velocity, we can calculate the critical angle. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00348-00196437-00197013 V1 is velocity of the surface layer. We got V1 from the picks at +z7VI0k7DAWA-00349-00197013-00197517 distances less than the crossover distance. We get a slope, but we draw it to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00350-00197517-00198314 always (0,0)- zero distance, zero time. V2 is the velocity of the refractor. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00351-00198314-00199187 V2 is from the picks at distances X greater than the crossover distance. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00352-00199187-00199870 Now we start to do a little math to put put these these things together. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00353-00199870-00200365 What would the critical distance be? X sub c is equal to two times z1- that's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00354-00200365-00200953 the depth of the refractor- divided by the square root of the quantity V2 over V1 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00355-00200953-00201541 squared minus 1. x sub c, that's useful in some further +z7VI0k7DAWA-00356-00201541-00202300 math, but we can't really observe it. The intercept time, though, is observable. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00357-00202300-00202792 Extend that line of V2 picks to the time axis. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00358-00202792-00203308 We can derive an equation from that intercept time t sub i, and that gives us the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00359-00203308-00203851 the ability to get the depth. The equation for the intercept time is 2 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00360-00203851-00204640 times the depth z1, times the ratio of the square root of: V2 squared minus V1 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00361-00204640-00205137 squared, divided by V2 and divided by V1. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00362-00205137-00205617 Likewise, we can we can get an equation for the crossover distance. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00363-00205617-00206134 These are actually derived in your in your text. I recognize it's not +z7VI0k7DAWA-00364-00206134-00206683 a great textbook; it's much more a reference book. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00365-00206683-00207454 It has the derivations. The crossover distance is 2 times z1 again but it's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00366-00207454-00208150 the square root of the ratio V2 plus V1, divided by V2 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00367-00208150-00209434 minus V1. That will give you the crossover +z7VI0k7DAWA-00368-00209434-00210877 distance. You see that we have two equations here, and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00369-00210877-00211165 we could solve either one- either the intercept-time equation or the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00370-00211165-00212319 crossover-distance equation- we could solve either one +z7VI0k7DAWA-00371-00212319-00212884 to get the depth to the refractor. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00372-00212884-00213439 We can compute depth from the intercept time- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00373-00213439-00214267 z1 is equal to ti over 2, times V2 V1 divided by the square root of the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00374-00214267-00214785 quantity V2 squared minus V1 squared. Or we can calculate z1 from the crossover +z7VI0k7DAWA-00375-00214785-00215301 distance, very equivalently. z1 is also equal to the crossover +z7VI0k7DAWA-00376-00215301-00215863 distance xcross divided by 2, times the square root of the ratio V2 minus V1 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00377-00215863-00216486 over V2 plus V1. What do you do when you have two different +z7VI0k7DAWA-00378-00216486-00216858 methods- what's the the best engineering practice- when you've got two +z7VI0k7DAWA-00379-00216858-00217323 different methods of calculating the same thing? It's best to try to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00380-00217323-00217816 observe them both, and see if you can get the same result from both of them. If you +z7VI0k7DAWA-00381-00217816-00218194 don't get the same result from both, then that tells you that whatever assumptions +z7VI0k7DAWA-00382-00218194-00218835 you have behind your equations are not right. Something's gone +z7VI0k7DAWA-00383-00218835-00219201 wrong. Maybe you need to do some more work. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00384-00219201-00219538 One of the important equations, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00385-00219538-00220114 some of the important assumptions, that are behind the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00386-00220114-00220584 equations we've just been looking at are the flat refractor. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00387-00220584-00221178 Flat structure: that's a huge assumption. Another one that will come +z7VI0k7DAWA-00388-00221178-00221969 into play is that we have constant velocity V1 in the upper layer. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00389-00221969-00222480 If the velocity is not constant in the lower layer, below the refractor, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00390-00222480-00223035 that also has an influence. But not as prominent as if the velocity is not +z7VI0k7DAWA-00391-00223035-00223588 constant above the refractor. Comparing depth estimates is a good test to see whether +z7VI0k7DAWA-00392-00223588-00224229 the analysis method you've used will work. What's the accuracy +z7VI0k7DAWA-00393-00224229-00224971 of your result? I guarantee you that even for a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00394-00224971-00225463 real field survey, even where you do have a perfectly flat refractor and perfectly +z7VI0k7DAWA-00395-00225463-00226150 constant velocities above the refractor, they're still not going to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00396-00226150-00226629 come out exactly the same. Even in that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00397-00226629-00227116 very simple and direct situation, it's good way of getting a measure of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00398-00227116-00227535 your experimental uncertainty. That is something you should always do. It's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00399-00227535-00228048 just good engineering practice, good scientific practice. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00400-00228048-00228403 You might be asking: "What if I've got more than one refractor?" +z7VI0k7DAWA-00401-00228403-00228778 Here in the Great Basin, we'll see the first refractor often at +z7VI0k7DAWA-00402-00228778-00229078 the water table; then we'll get another one at the top of the volcanics; +z7VI0k7DAWA-00403-00229078-00229813 maybe even another one- a third refractor- at the bottom of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00404-00229813-00230503 the basin- at the top of the granite or the Paleozoic roof +z7VI0k7DAWA-00405-00230503-00231154 pendants. We can still maintain this system where, as we go down, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00406-00231154-00231744 velocity always increases: V1 is less than V2 is less than V3 is less +z7VI0k7DAWA-00407-00231744-00232329 than V4 if we had that. We have a thickness h1 of the upper layer, which +z7VI0k7DAWA-00408-00232329-00233194 is equal to the depth z1, and then to get to Z2 we go through h2 and so +z7VI0k7DAWA-00409-00233194-00233721 forth. How do we identify when we have more than one refractor? +z7VI0k7DAWA-00410-00233721-00234033 We have more than one slope in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00411-00234033-00235165 our data. It's often very easy to see that; you can see V1 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00412-00235165-00235704 close to the source, and you get to the first crossover distance, which I +z7VI0k7DAWA-00413-00235704-00236217 denoted here by x sub cR1, and you get a higher velocity. Then you get to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00414-00236217-00236796 the second crossover distance, which I've denoted here by x sub cR2, and you get +z7VI0k7DAWA-00415-00236796-00237348 to the even higher velocity. Each of those; the V2 line, has an +z7VI0k7DAWA-00416-00237348-00237823 intercept t sub i1; and the V3 line has an intercept t sub i2. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00417-00237823-00238479 Often in the Great Basin, we will see that this intermediate velocity +z7VI0k7DAWA-00418-00238479-00239331 V2 is shown by the fewest receivers. V2 may be the most +z7VI0k7DAWA-00419-00239331-00239800 uncertain of the velocities we have. On the other hand, there're plenty of times +z7VI0k7DAWA-00420-00239800-00240480 when we only see V1 from the very closest geophone. We don't +z7VI0k7DAWA-00421-00240480-00240967 see V1 for very long at all. It's only observed by one geophone. We +z7VI0k7DAWA-00422-00240967-00241548 draw that line just from the origin (0,0) point to the first geophone, and then +z7VI0k7DAWA-00423-00241548-00242227 from there it's V2 and after that V3. When we draw to the closest geophone, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00424-00242227-00242732 that gives us, it turns out, a maximum V1. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00425-00242732-00243289 If our geophones are too far away from the source to really nail down V1- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00426-00243289-00243727 to have at least three geophones that see that V1- then it turns out that the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00427-00243727-00244203 v1 we'll get to one geophone is a maximum. It's an estimate of the maximum +z7VI0k7DAWA-00428-00244203-00245089 possible V1. Getting z1, just treat it like we have the first +z7VI0k7DAWA-00429-00245089-00245700 crossover distance, we have ti1, so we can get z1 the same way. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00430-00245700-00246346 Then we want z2. Well z2 is equal to z1 plus h2. Here's an equation for h2. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00431-00246346-00247246 h2 involves ti2- the larger ti2 is, the larger h2 is going to be, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00432-00247246-00248176 and the larger z2 is going to be. But we have ti2 minus 2 z1 times the square +z7VI0k7DAWA-00433-00248176-00248760 root of V3 squared minus V1 squared, divided by V3, divided by V1, and we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00434-00248760-00249346 scale all that by this ratio: V3 times V2 divided by 2, divided by the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00435-00249346-00249852 square root of V3 squared minus V2 squared. A lot of numbers in there, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00436-00249852-00251121 three velocities, one depth, one intercept time. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00437-00251121-00251634 There's more computation, and that results in more uncertainty. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00438-00251634-00252183 h2 can be really be a lot more uncertain than z1 was. z2 is going +z7VI0k7DAWA-00439-00252183-00252775 to be a lot less certain than z1, because there's all +z7VI0k7DAWA-00440-00252775-00253044 this computation. All these estimates go into it. Every one of these +z7VI0k7DAWA-00441-00253044-00253432 things is measured. z1 was computed, ti2 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00442-00253432-00254023 is measured, V1, V2, V3, they're all measured. Every +z7VI0k7DAWA-00443-00254023-00254367 every single thing that goes in there has an uncertainty, and it all plays into +z7VI0k7DAWA-00444-00254367-00254929 even greater uncertainty. You can go to multiple flat layers, and we have +z7VI0k7DAWA-00445-00254929-00255352 computer programs around that will give you the travel time for a wave that's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00446-00255352-00255931 critically refracted at the N minus 1 interface. Here's an +z7VI0k7DAWA-00447-00255931-00256242 equation for that- I'm not going to bother with that because when we get to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00448-00256242-00256756 multiple layers, we're really talking about dipping refractions. So let +z7VI0k7DAWA-00449-00256756-00257251 me let me talk for a bit about dipping refractors. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00450-00257251-00257740 As soon as we have a dipping refractor, as soon as we have structures, as soon as we have dip, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00451-00257740-00258379 instead of those slopes- the V1 and V2 slopes that fit +z7VI0k7DAWA-00452-00258379-00258841 the first arrival picks- they're not true velocities. They're not rock velocities. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00453-00258841-00259296 They are "apparent velocities." They're like that reflection; they +z7VI0k7DAWA-00454-00259296-00259723 depend on the geometry of things more than they depend on the true rock +z7VI0k7DAWA-00455-00259723-00260194 velocities. The apparent velocities depend on the true velocities- yes +z7VI0k7DAWA-00456-00260194-00260851 that's correct- but also, they depend on the dip. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00457-00260851-00261613 That's the crucial problem. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00458-00261613-00262822 Here's a cross section on the left, and a data section on +z7VI0k7DAWA-00459-00262822-00263284 the right. We still have the source on the left- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00460-00263284-00263743 both on the cross section and in the time distance plot, the time +z7VI0k7DAWA-00461-00263743-00264310 section on the right. That's where the source is. There are two +z7VI0k7DAWA-00462-00264310-00264988 models shown in this cross section on the left. Just for +z7VI0k7DAWA-00463-00264988-00265768 reference, here's the horizontal refractor. Let's say the source +z7VI0k7DAWA-00464-00265768-00266524 is on the down-dip side, so the dip is to the left- down dip to the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00465-00266524-00266995 left- and we're gonna propagate waves updip. That's why I've got +z7VI0k7DAWA-00466-00266995-00267403 this labelled "updip." I'm thinking about the way that the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00467-00267403-00267841 waves are propagating. Are the waves propagating updip? Or, when +z7VI0k7DAWA-00468-00267841-00268300 we're dipping away from the source, are the waves propagating down dip? +z7VI0k7DAWA-00469-00268300-00268846 Notice that the critical angle here is rotated by the dip, because +z7VI0k7DAWA-00470-00268846-00269823 the normal to the straight, planar reflector, that is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00471-00269823-00270379 rotated, that goes with the dip. It's rotated by the dip. So we've got a dip +z7VI0k7DAWA-00472-00270379-00271042 beta. If we're shooting updip- the source is on the down-dip +z7VI0k7DAWA-00473-00271042-00271594 side, the receiver's on the updip side- what happens? +z7VI0k7DAWA-00474-00271594-00272056 V1 is the same line.The horizontal propagation, that's not +z7VI0k7DAWA-00475-00272056-00272848 affected by the dip. We don't see that refractor. So V1 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00476-00272848-00273394 is the same line. If we're shooting up dip, then the apparent +z7VI0k7DAWA-00477-00273394-00274033 velocity is going to be greater than the true V2. In this cross section, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00478-00274033-00274486 down below the refractor we have a second velocity, a higher velocity. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00479-00274486-00275062 If it was horizontal, we'd be along this dashed line, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00480-00275062-00275425 there would be the crossover and the arrival would have +z7VI0k7DAWA-00481-00275425-00276100 this slope V2. But if we're shooting updip, then it arrives sooner. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00482-00276100-00276631 It makes sense; the fast refractor is carrying the wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00483-00276631-00277123 closer to the receiver so it ought to arrive sooner. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00484-00277123-00277609 The steeper the dip- we're shooting updip- the flatter +z7VI0k7DAWA-00485-00277609-00278173 this V2 line is going to get. It's at some apparent velocity that is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00486-00278173-00278491 higher than the true velocity. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00487-00278491-00278944 Likewise if we're shooting down dip, then it's going to get there later. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00488-00278944-00279543 The refractor is carrying the refraction away from the receivers. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00489-00279543-00280096 Shooting down dip, it's going to come in later, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00490-00280096-00280507 the apparent velocity is going to be less. The velocity we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00491-00280507-00281133 observe and pick is going to be less than V2. Here's some equations for +z7VI0k7DAWA-00492-00281133-00281620 the apparent velocity. You can see that the apparent velocity is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00493-00281620-00282520 basically V1 over the the sine of the critical angle. Except we've got to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00494-00282520-00282931 adjust the critical angle by the amount it gets rotated by the dip. For +z7VI0k7DAWA-00495-00282931-00283744 shooting updip, the apparent velocity is V1 over the sine of theta c +z7VI0k7DAWA-00496-00283744-00284473 minus beta. So the sine is going to be smaller than it should be, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00497-00284473-00285004 and since the sine is on the denominator, that's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00498-00285004-00285727 going to make the apparent velocity greater than V2. Shooting down dip, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00499-00285727-00286480 the apparent velocity is divided by the sine of the critical angle plus the dip +z7VI0k7DAWA-00500-00286480-00287170 beta. So the sine is going to be larger which means +z7VI0k7DAWA-00501-00287170-00287757 relative to what it should be it's gonna make the apparent velocity less than V2. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00502-00287757-00288424 Those equations rely on having an accurate estimate of the refractor's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00503-00288424-00289008 velocity. What do we do, if we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00504-00289008-00289426 just do this one experiment, and we don't know whether a refractor is dipping? +z7VI0k7DAWA-00505-00289426-00289888 We go to a new area, and it looks perfectly like a flat +z7VI0k7DAWA-00506-00289888-00290400 refractor. We get a velocity and we say, "Oh well, that's V2." +z7VI0k7DAWA-00507-00290400-00291121 Wrong! You've always got to check for dip. You have to do another +z7VI0k7DAWA-00508-00291121-00291636 experiment. You have to put the source in a different place and do it again- record +z7VI0k7DAWA-00509-00291636-00292209 another record- to make sure you don't have dip. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00510-00292209-00292833 The right solution is actually what SeisOpt® @2D™ does. You +z7VI0k7DAWA-00511-00292833-00293372 lay out your geophone line, and you do +z7VI0k7DAWA-00512-00293372-00293843 at least seven, or hopefully more than nine different source points. On each end, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00513-00293843-00294587 at the quarter points, and off each end of the line. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00514-00294587-00295106 All in-line. That's the way to really nail everything +z7VI0k7DAWA-00515-00295106-00295714 down. But the minimum you have to do- you do not have a refraction survey +z7VI0k7DAWA-00516-00295714-00296417 unless you at least have a reversal. You lay out your refraction line; you've got +z7VI0k7DAWA-00517-00296417-00296825 your geophones in here- this is a cross section that we're looking at. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00518-00296825-00297383 And there's a dip in there, a dip of beta. But there is a higher +z7VI0k7DAWA-00519-00297383-00297827 velocity down there, so you're gonna get a refraction. You do one +z7VI0k7DAWA-00520-00297827-00298457 experiment shooting up dip, and then you keep recording, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00521-00298457-00299045 you keep the receivers in the same place, and you bring the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00522-00299045-00299603 shot around to the other side, at the end- you reverse it. Then you shoot down +z7VI0k7DAWA-00523-00299603-00300011 dip. Until you do the shooting, you don't know which way is up- and which way +z7VI0k7DAWA-00524-00300011-00300575 is down dip. This allows you to figure it out. That means we get two +z7VI0k7DAWA-00525-00300575-00301040 time-distance plots. These are badly drawn here, and you're gonna draw +z7VI0k7DAWA-00526-00301040-00302615 them better in lab, on graph paper or in Excel. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00527-00302615-00303233 What we've got is, here's (0,0) for the original shot, and then at the maximum +z7VI0k7DAWA-00528-00303233-00303605 distance, the first point you had any geophone from that shot, you put +z7VI0k7DAWA-00529-00303605-00304280 the reverse shot. So now that's at xmax and of course zero time. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00530-00304280-00304847 This original shot, we'll call it the forward shot. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00531-00304847-00305558 It shows the same V1, and here is the v2, the apparent velocity we get +z7VI0k7DAWA-00532-00305558-00306098 shooting forward. Then with the reverse shot. There's V1, the same V1, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00533-00306098-00306599 just dashed now, and there's the reverse shot, which you see is coming in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00534-00306599-00307407 way earlier. There's the reverse shot, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00535-00307407-00308184 and it's giving a very different apparent velocity. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00536-00308184-00308754 It's not only way earlier, it's way steeper. It gives a much +z7VI0k7DAWA-00537-00308754-00309144 lower velocity. These velocities can differ by a lot, even though they're +z7VI0k7DAWA-00538-00309144-00309756 coming off the same refractor in the same places. In lab, we're going to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00539-00309756-00310281 look at some seismic records from a refraction line, and we're going to look +z7VI0k7DAWA-00540-00310281-00310959 at various shots into those geophones in that line, particularly the forward shot +z7VI0k7DAWA-00541-00310959-00311423 and the reverse shot. We're going to analyze it with the equations that we've +z7VI0k7DAWA-00542-00311423-00312201 been looking at, and figure out how to decide whether the dip is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00543-00312201-00312588 one way or the other, and how much dip there is. Then we'll find what the velocities +z7VI0k7DAWA-00544-00312588-00313188 really are. We're going to pick the first arrivals. Then we'll see +z7VI0k7DAWA-00545-00313188-00314067 the V1 and V2 forward, and the V1 and V2 reverse. We're going to be able to place +z7VI0k7DAWA-00546-00314067-00314843 them on to a plot like this. One of the things that will come into this is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00547-00314843-00315633 the fact that when you put a shot, say here on the left hand side, and a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00548-00315633-00316260 receiver on the right hand side, you record a P-wave +z7VI0k7DAWA-00549-00316260-00316776 refracted arrival at a certain time. That time on this diagram would be right +z7VI0k7DAWA-00550-00316776-00317490 here. Then when you put a shot where the receiver was- where the geophone was- and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00551-00317490-00318186 you put a recorder- a geophone- where the shot was, you've effectively +z7VI0k7DAWA-00552-00318186-00318858 reversed it. You have the same path of refraction. You just go from left to right +z7VI0k7DAWA-00553-00318858-00319317 instead of right to left. So the time should be the same. That's called the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00554-00319317-00319860 principle of seismic reciprocity. This time that should be the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00555-00319860-00320435 same, we call the "reciprocal time" t sub R. That t sub R should be +z7VI0k7DAWA-00556-00320435-00321021 essentially the long-distance intercept at the other +z7VI0k7DAWA-00557-00321021-00321597 side's source. At the time axis under the other side's source. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00558-00321597-00322203 This is the reciprocal time for the reversal at the longest distance. We +z7VI0k7DAWA-00559-00322203-00322887 come down here, and here's the reciprocal time for the forward shot. That's come +z7VI0k7DAWA-00560-00322887-00323472 essentially the same distance, the same path, just backwards- right to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00561-00323472-00323925 left instead of left to right. It should make no difference; +z7VI0k7DAWA-00562-00323925-00324456 the seismic energy will follow exactly the same path, and whether +z7VI0k7DAWA-00563-00324456-00324987 the energy is going east to west or west east shouldn't make any difference in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00564-00324987-00325566 the velocity, or the time. We have to be careful that when we finally draw +z7VI0k7DAWA-00565-00325566-00325977 these lines, we keep the same reciprocal time. I'll instruct you about that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00566-00325977-00326673 in lab too. The reciprocal time is one very good constraint on this. We're not +z7VI0k7DAWA-00567-00326673-00327162 saying what time it is- it just has to be the same time for both the forward and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00568-00327162-00327594 the reverse. There's one apparent velocity from the forward and a different apparent +z7VI0k7DAWA-00569-00327594-00328271 velocity from the the reverse shot, for the refraction. In this example +z7VI0k7DAWA-00570-00328271-00329019 the forward shot, the shot itself is down dip and it shoots updip. So V2F +z7VI0k7DAWA-00571-00329019-00329570 is a greater, higher apparent velocity than V2R, which is lower. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00572-00329570-00330165 We have V2F being greater than V2R. What also happens +z7VI0k7DAWA-00573-00330165-00330954 is that the intercept times are also different. If it wasn't +z7VI0k7DAWA-00574-00330954-00331335 dipping, they'd be the same, just like the reciprocal times. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00575-00331335-00332064 With dip, they're not the same. tiF is greater than tiR. You +z7VI0k7DAWA-00576-00332064-00332928 can see that's the way I've drawn it. We assign the the larger of V2F or +z7VI0k7DAWA-00577-00332928-00333314 V2R, whichever way it actually goes- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00578-00333314-00333736 you don't follow what I did here unless it's the same situation, so if it's +z7VI0k7DAWA-00579-00333736-00334702 the opposite you use the other way. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00580-00334702-00335107 The maximum of those apparent velocities, of those v2 apparent velocities, becomes +z7VI0k7DAWA-00581-00335107-00335851 V2max. Then the other one is V2min. We also have +z7VI0k7DAWA-00582-00335851-00336328 intercept times, maximum and minimum. The reciprocal time is the same just like +z7VI0k7DAWA-00583-00336328-00336923 I explained. In the diagram up here, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00584-00336923-00338066 where we have V2F greater than V2R, then V2max is V2F, and V2min +z7VI0k7DAWA-00585-00338066-00338816 is V2R. timax is tiF; timin is tiR. On the other hand if the dip is the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00586-00338816-00339416 other direction, then we would have V2F less than V2R, and V2max would +z7VI0k7DAWA-00587-00339416-00340025 be equal to V2R, V2min would be equal to V2F, timax is equal to tiR, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00588-00340025-00340664 timin, which you can barely see on the notes here, is equal to tiF. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00589-00340664-00341059 Here's the equations for computing, with a dipping refractor and a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00590-00341059-00341675 reversed experiment, the refraction velocity, the depth, and the dip. The +z7VI0k7DAWA-00591-00341675-00342001 first thing you actually do is you get the critical angle, essentially by +z7VI0k7DAWA-00592-00342001-00342824 averaging the critical angles from the two +z7VI0k7DAWA-00593-00342824-00343223 experiments. One thing you that's not +z7VI0k7DAWA-00594-00343223-00343838 stated here that you will find in lab, is that you may not get exactly the same V1 +z7VI0k7DAWA-00595-00343838-00344257 That happens all the time. The earth is more complicated +z7VI0k7DAWA-00596-00344257-00344693 than our very simple models and equations here. We have to make the V1s +z7VI0k7DAWA-00597-00344693-00345604 the same. We have to use some V1 that can represent both. Often, we just use +z7VI0k7DAWA-00598-00345604-00346340 the average. We measure a V1R and a V1F, and we average them, and get a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00599-00346340-00347120 V1. First we get V1, and then V1 over V2max. We take that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00600-00347120-00347678 ratio, we take its inverse sine, and we add it to the inverse sine of V1 or V2min. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00601-00347678-00348461 Then we add those together, those are two angles now, take half +z7VI0k7DAWA-00602-00348461-00348908 the sum, and that is the critical angle. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00603-00348908-00349643 Since the sign of the critical angle is V1 over V2, we +z7VI0k7DAWA-00604-00349643-00350159 can get V2 now. We've already got V1, now we get the second velocity; that's half +z7VI0k7DAWA-00605-00350159-00350780 of what we need to know. Of course, V2 is just V1 divided by +z7VI0k7DAWA-00606-00350780-00351401 the sine of the critical angle, sine of theta sub c. Then we can go ahead with +z7VI0k7DAWA-00607-00351401-00352103 these further equations. We can get the dip beta here, which is another +z7VI0k7DAWA-00608-00352103-00352481 averaging process. The inverse sine of V1 over V2min minus- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00609-00352481-00353198 now taking the difference with the inverse sine of V1 over V2max, and take 1/2 of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00610-00353198-00353926 that difference. That turns out to be the dip beta. The depths we can calculate +z7VI0k7DAWA-00611-00353926-00354530 at the low side of the dip, or at the high side of the dip. zmax +z7VI0k7DAWA-00612-00354530-00355238 and zmin. You might think that you would also calculate another +z7VI0k7DAWA-00613-00355238-00355892 estimate of the dip by taking the distance between the ends of the line and taking +z7VI0k7DAWA-00614-00355892-00356722 the inverse tangent of the difference in the difference in depths +z7VI0k7DAWA-00615-00356722-00357506 over the distance between them. zmax is equal to V1 times timax- +z7VI0k7DAWA-00616-00357506-00358142 the maximum intercept time- divided by 2 times the cosine of the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00617-00358142-00358678 critical angle, and also divided by the cosine of the dip. The minimum +z7VI0k7DAWA-00618-00358678-00359420 depth, on the updip side, is V1 times timin, also divided by 2, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00619-00359420-00360033 divided by the cosine of the critical angle and the cosine of the dip. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00620-00360033-00360866 These are things you'll try in lab. You'll interpret some data for first +z7VI0k7DAWA-00621-00360866-00361429 arrivals, you'll get time-distance plots. You'll note these pieces of these times, +z7VI0k7DAWA-00622-00361429-00362018 the intercept times, you'll make the slopes that you pick hold to a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00623-00362018-00362485 constant reciprocal time, you'll measure the V1s and the apparent +z7VI0k7DAWA-00624-00362485-00363029 V2s, and come up with essentially a structural interpretation. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00625-00363029-00363476 You've got dip, you've got depths, and you've +z7VI0k7DAWA-00626-00363476-00364217 got the two velocitiesV1 and V2, above and below the refractor. Some +z7VI0k7DAWA-00627-00364217-00364981 considerations of survey design: there's the maximum offset. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00628-00364981-00365651 How far do you have to get from the source to see the second +z7VI0k7DAWA-00629-00365651-00366116 velocity? The best way to do that is to take some some +z7VI0k7DAWA-00630-00366116-00366827 geologically reasonable hypotheses and use a modeling program, which could be as +z7VI0k7DAWA-00631-00366827-00367379 simple as these equations here. Calculating the crossover +z7VI0k7DAWA-00632-00367379-00368252 distance, for instance. Get the crossover distance for the deepest +z7VI0k7DAWA-00633-00368252-00368699 refractor you want to find. It turns out that's usually somewhere between +z7VI0k7DAWA-00634-00368699-00369244 three and six times the depth of the refractor that you'd like to be able to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00635-00369244-00370033 to see. Of course, there's the problem of having to see that +z7VI0k7DAWA-00636-00370033-00370721 refractor both ways; both shooting updip and shooting down dip. You've got +z7VI0k7DAWA-00637-00370721-00371468 also to have some sort of guess about the dip of the refractor. What +z7VI0k7DAWA-00638-00371468-00371948 source do you need to use? This now depends a lot on the maximum offset and +z7VI0k7DAWA-00639-00371948-00372361 then where you are and what kind of instruments you have; what the local +z7VI0k7DAWA-00640-00372361-00372754 experience is. If you're in a totally new area you might +z7VI0k7DAWA-00641-00372754-00373220 have to either do some experiments or consult some local experts to see what +z7VI0k7DAWA-00642-00373220-00373692 kinds of sources will reach your maximum offset. If your maximum offset is +z7VI0k7DAWA-00643-00373692-00374252 many kilometers, then you're going to need some pretty large sources. Either +z7VI0k7DAWA-00644-00374252-00375026 drill holes filled with explosives, or you're going to need to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00645-00375026-00375819 rent some heavy machinery. On the other hand, sources that are fairly poor in +z7VI0k7DAWA-00646-00375819-00376503 some areas like weight-drop mechanisms in the Great Basin, can work famously well +z7VI0k7DAWA-00647-00376503-00377031 in other areas that don't have the noise conditions or the same kinds of +z7VI0k7DAWA-00648-00377031-00377766 absorption and scattering that the Great Basin does. And then you have to reverse. +z7VI0k7DAWA-00649-00377766-00378399 The absolute minimum is, you are +z7VI0k7DAWA-00650-00378399-00378747 probably going to want a test shot to see how far you're gonna be able to go, to +z7VI0k7DAWA-00651-00378747-00379544 verify that your configuration is going to record data; then you need a +z7VI0k7DAWA-00652-00379544-00380205 strong forward shot and you need a strong reversal. Like I said, to really +z7VI0k7DAWA-00653-00380205-00380523 nail down all the velocities and the velocity variation throughout the +z7VI0k7DAWA-00654-00380523-00381068 section, you need to get at least nine shots total. +z9h7K843bwg-00000-00000090-00000401 Reactions of hydrogen peroxide +z9h7K843bwg-00001-00000530-00000730 Experiment 1 +z9h7K843bwg-00002-00000882-00001834 Reagents: potassium manganate(VII) solution, sulfuric(VI) acid solution, hydrogen peroxide solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00003-00002220-00002648 Pour into the test tube a few cubic centimeters of the potassium manganate(VII) solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00004-00003198-00003534 Then add a little sulfuric acid solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00005-00004008-00004520 Finally, add hydrogen peroxide solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00006-00006276-00006788 Gas is emitted from the test tube and the solution becomes completely discoloured. +z9h7K843bwg-00007-00006959-00007152 Experiment 2 +z9h7K843bwg-00008-00007316-00008148 Reagents: potassium iodide solution, sulfuric(VI) acid solution, starch solution, hydrogen peroxide solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00009-00008436-00009002 Insert a few cubic centimeters of potassium iodide solution into the tube. +z9h7K843bwg-00010-00009308-00009782 Then add a little amount of sulfuric acid solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00011-00010326-00010686 Add starch solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00012-00011352-00011886 Finally, add hydrogen peroxide solution. +z9h7K843bwg-00013-00012936-00013430 The contents turn brown and the gas is emitted intensively. +z9PzF66DkrY-00000-00000570-00000762 came to feed the hungry gulls +z9PzF66DkrY-00001-00001702-00001830 gift bought 3 bread +z9PzF66DkrY-00002-00002386-00002546 gave a piece to Muhammad +z9PzF66DkrY-00004-00004812-00004988 dear throw to that country +z9PzF66DkrY-00005-00008584-00008760 arrogant seagulls ate all +z9PzF66DkrY-00006-00009332-00009460 the bread and dacks +z9PzF66DkrY-00007-00010086-00010174 didn't get it +z9PzF66DkrY-00008-00011238-00011366 some ducks managed +z9PzF66DkrY-00009-00011976-00012056 to eat bread +z9PzF66DkrY-00010-00012794-00012962 and some remained hungry +z9PzF66DkrY-00011-00019260-00019460 beautiful weather clean air, +z9PzF66DkrY-00012-00021170-00021298 sea, sun, seagulls +z9PzF66DkrY-00013-00022446-00022582 very beautifal sky, +z9PzF66DkrY-00014-00025020-00025180 Beloved husband and son +z9PzF66DkrY-00015-00026020-00026227 is therereally something more +z9PzF66DkrY-00016-00027006-00027174 beautiful in this world?

kill completely healthy people? +zvtkB5ckAsU-00001-00000735-00001106 Yes, young people who were completely healthy +zvtkB5ckAsU-00002-00001106-00001555 before they became infected have died from the infection. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00003-00001555-00001682 It is true that our risk +zvtkB5ckAsU-00004-00001682-00002045 of severe disease and death rises as we get older. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00005-00002045-00002216 And as we have other conditions, +zvtkB5ckAsU-00006-00002216-00002539 like high blood pressure and diabetes. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00007-00002539-00002802 But young people have become ill as well. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00008-00002802-00002923 And some have died. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00009-00003039-00003324 Some have gotten better, but their lungs are still damaged +zvtkB5ckAsU-00010-00003324-00003596 and may remain damaged for the rest of their lives. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00011-00003703-00004044 For this reason, young people should be just as careful +zvtkB5ckAsU-00012-00004044-00004312 to avoid the infection as older people. +zvtkB5ckAsU-00013-00004312-00004538 In addition to the fact that they can infect others +zvtkB5ckAsU-00014-00004538-00004690 once they become infected. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00000-00000014-00000580 Wanna find out how your ministers in charge of finance and economy Liu Kun and Zhong Shan +zvEOaX-QG6A-00001-00000580-00000755 performed in 2018? +zvEOaX-QG6A-00002-00000755-00001207 In a few moments I will reveal you the real truth so pay close attention. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00003-00001207-00001832 We will analyze only the single most important metric to determine how successful ministers +zvEOaX-QG6A-00004-00001832-00001941 were. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00005-00001941-00002428 Here's the deal: Most important metric for economy is: GDP +zvEOaX-QG6A-00006-00002428-00002660 per capita based on PPP. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00007-00002660-00003370 It's gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates +zvEOaX-QG6A-00008-00003370-00003629 and divided by total population. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00009-00003629-00004136 Basically it's number that tells you how much stuff can average citizen buy with wage he +zvEOaX-QG6A-00010-00004136-00004285 gets every month. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00011-00004285-00004782 In countries with higher numbers citizens live great and buy bunch of new things every +zvEOaX-QG6A-00012-00004782-00004882 month. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00013-00004882-00005371 In countries with low numbers citizens live bad and scrape every month to buy food and +zvEOaX-QG6A-00014-00005371-00005668 pay living expenses, just to survive. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00015-00005668-00006205 If you are from China comment below how much could you afford in 2018 and were you satisfied +zvEOaX-QG6A-00016-00006205-00006305 with that? +zvEOaX-QG6A-00017-00006305-00006623 Now: Our data source will be IMF's GDP per capita +zvEOaX-QG6A-00018-00006623-00006856 based on PPP rankings report. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00019-00006856-00007430 IMF stands for international monetary fund and this organization is the most relevant +zvEOaX-QG6A-00020-00007430-00007563 data source in the world. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00021-00007563-00007663 We'll analyze 2 main factors. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00022-00007663-00008137 Position, in 2018 GDP per capita based on PPP rankings and change in rankings. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00023-00008137-00008446 Based on those factors all ministers get grades. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00024-00008446-00009225 Grades are: Phenomenal which is the best, Amazing, Excellent, Great, Good, than Fair +zvEOaX-QG6A-00025-00009225-00009921 which is neutral, Mediocre, Poor, Bad, Awful, and Abysmal which is the worst. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00026-00009921-00010432 If country dropped ranking from last year ministers can't get positive grade. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00027-00010432-00010569 Is that clear? +zvEOaX-QG6A-00028-00010569-00010775 And now are you ready? +zvEOaX-QG6A-00029-00010775-00011365 China ministers in charge of finance and economy Liu Kun and Zhong Shan in 2018 performed, +zvEOaX-QG6A-00030-00011365-00011473 drumroll: PHENOMENAL. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00031-00011473-00012173 You can best visualize it by seeing how high this red arrow is. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00032-00012173-00012273 And now a few numbers. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00033-00012273-00012717 Their score was 1467 and they ranked 3rd among all economy related ministers. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00034-00012717-00013526 China was ranked 81st in 2017 which is in the middle and in 2018 they gained 4 places +zvEOaX-QG6A-00035-00013526-00013626 to 77th place. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00036-00013626-00014287 So as you can see it's PHENOMENAL job, your ministers are making you richer. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00037-00014287-00014860 If you now want to see how leader of China general secretary of the communist party Xi +zvEOaX-QG6A-00038-00014860-00015398 Jinping performed in 2018 click the link in top right corner. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00039-00015398-00015512 And that's not all... +zvEOaX-QG6A-00040-00015512-00015993 Let's see few ministers related to economy that performed the best so you can see how +zvEOaX-QG6A-00041-00015993-00016262 Phenomenal performance looks like. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00042-00016262-00016484 Here is the top of the rankings. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00043-00016484-00017177 Ranked number 1 were ministers from Taiwan Su Jain-rong and Shen Jong-chin. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00044-00017177-00017970 They did phenomenal job, and Taiwan recorded jump of 3 places in the rankings. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00045-00017970-00018682 Ranked number 2 were ministers from Spain María Jesús Montero and Nadia Calviño. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00046-00018682-00019165 Phenomenal job, Spain also jumped 3 places in the rankings. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00047-00019165-00019730 Ranked number 3 were ministers from China Liu Kun and Zhong Shan. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00048-00019730-00020345 And although China ranks little bit lower than Taiwan and Spain, in 2018 they leaped +zvEOaX-QG6A-00049-00020345-00020760 4 places from 81st to 77th. +zvEOaX-QG6A-00050-00020760-00021366 Now, before you go and watch next video: Remember to subscribe and click bell icon +zvEOaX-QG6A-00051-00021366-00021651 so you don't miss

maybe you forgot that the garden of +zCExlcjk1Hk-00001-00000576-00001080 infinity used to be an event that came around once in a while and would wreck us content creators +zCExlcjk1Hk-00002-00001080-00001584 spinning this stupid dice down here in the corner did you know that both of these events were listed +zCExlcjk1Hk-00003-00001584-00002130 in a class action lawsuit against Lilith games in Rise of Kingdoms yeah I didn't either so today +zCExlcjk1Hk-00004-00002130-00002556 we're going to talk about both of these events and I'm gonna speculate as to why these events +zCExlcjk1Hk-00005-00002556-00003084 May have disappeared but before we jump into that if you are curious about this lawsuit I +zCExlcjk1Hk-00006-00003084-00003546 cover it in detail on my second channel the link to that video will be down below it's gonna go +zCExlcjk1Hk-00007-00003546-00004002 live at the exact same time as this one so if you want go ahead and pause this video and check that +zCExlcjk1Hk-00008-00004002-00004452 out moving forward I'm going to cover different news and topics on that second channel so make +zCExlcjk1Hk-00009-00004452-00004824 sure you go ahead and subscribe there it would seriously mean the world to me because it takes +zCExlcjk1Hk-00010-00004824-00005310 a lot of time to research it and edit those types of videos so I figured why not make the first one +zCExlcjk1Hk-00011-00005310-00005808 on Rise of Kingdoms a topic that you guys already like okay first let's talk about card King because +zCExlcjk1Hk-00012-00005808-00006348 this is a really interesting event I feel like this event was around for a very long time before +zCExlcjk1Hk-00013-00006348-00006959 it was I assumed to be discontinued I don't know about you guys but I haven't seen card King in a +zCExlcjk1Hk-00014-00006959-00007464 long time it could be the case that it's still available in maybe newer kingdoms and it just +zCExlcjk1Hk-00015-00007464-00008009 disappears in season of Conquest I have no idea if you guys have seen card King recently I would love +zCExlcjk1Hk-00016-00008009-00008412 to hear from you in the comments section below and also the garden of Infinity for that matter +zCExlcjk1Hk-00017-00008412-00009048 but essentially the purpose of card King was to give players a way to obtain not just Wheel of +zCExlcjk1Hk-00018-00009048-00009612 Fortune commanders but also mightiest Governor commanders that have been around for a while so +zCExlcjk1Hk-00019-00009612-00010212 if I am remembering correctly and it's totally possible that I'm not but the last time that I +zCExlcjk1Hk-00020-00010212-00010782 was doing card King on my account and typically I wouldn't really play this event I remember I used +zCExlcjk1Hk-00021-00010782-00011304 this event as a way to sort of just unlock my DS Governor commanders but I never really used it as +zCExlcjk1Hk-00022-00011304-00011910 a way to to reliably get a ton of sculptures of somebody that I actually wanted but last time I +zCExlcjk1Hk-00023-00011910-00012504 did this event I believe leave I used it to unlock art Amnesia and to get a couple of sculptures of +zCExlcjk1Hk-00024-00012504-00013391 Leonidas and so it's my understanding that this event was at least around through kbk3 back when +zCExlcjk1Hk-00025-00013391-00014094 kvk3 included guan yu and Leonidas now many of you may not know this currently guan yu is +zCExlcjk1Hk-00026-00014094-00014730 listed as a season of Conquest Commander but back in the day you could use guan yu and Leonidas and +zCExlcjk1Hk-00027-00014730-00015468 commanders like Attila and Takeda in KDK 3 and my understanding is that those kvk-3 commanders +zCExlcjk1Hk-00028-00015468-00015912 meaning those commanders that don't have the massive power creep that we see for a lot of +zCExlcjk1Hk-00029-00015912-00016410 the season of Conquest commanders would eventually show up here in the card King as commanders that +zCExlcjk1Hk-00030-00016410-00016902 you can get your hands on now eventually as we all know those kbk3 commanders kind of just were +zCExlcjk1Hk-00031-00016902-00017448 merged into season of conquest and then I guess maybe there was just no reason to have card King +zCExlcjk1Hk-00032-00017448-00017868 anymore but the way that this event would work is that you would actually pick a commander +zCExlcjk1Hk-00033-00017868-00018444 that would have sculptures in this event and you would have to match different cards in order to +zCExlcjk1Hk-00034-00018444-00018918 gain whatever that item is and so there was a way where you could get Universal legendary Commander +zCExlcjk1Hk-00035-00018918-00019386 sculptures here you could get specific Commander sculptures like I said Artemisia and I think +zCExlcjk1Hk-00036-00019386-00019842 even like Richard and stuff some of the older commanders were on here as well but also you could +zCExlcjk1Hk-00037-00019842-00020436 get like resources right you could get uh stone or food or wood or something like that and so in this +zCExlcjk1Hk-00038-00020436-00020928 way it was kind of like the bastard cousin of The Wheel of Fortune I feel like The Wheel of Fortune +zCExlcjk1Hk-00039-00020928-00021408 had maybe a more limited amount of commanders you could obtain maybe more sculptures and value out +zCExlcjk1Hk-00040-00021408-00021918 of the Wheel of Fortune than the card King that was my assumption and the way that I remember it +zCExlcjk1Hk-00041-00021918-00022404 I just I remember never really doing this event because I just didn't really see the value there +zCExlcjk1Hk-00042-00022404-00023022 now it's also worth noting that this event was around mainly back when you could not pick the +zCExlcjk1Hk-00043-00023022-00023628 Wheel of Fortune so hear about you know these days we could actually choose which Commander is on the +zCExlcjk1Hk-00044-00023628-00024078 Wheel of Fortune and that will actually change right there but back in the day okay this was +zCExlcjk1Hk-00045-00024078-00024678 not actually a feature of the Wheel of Fortune you were just at Mercy to whoever was on that wheel at +zCExlcjk1Hk-00046-00024678-00025038 that time and so a lot of the times it wouldn't be worth it to spin for that wheel if it was a +zCExlcjk1Hk-00047-00025038-00025452 commander you didn't care about or a commander that you expertised already you could literally +zCExlcjk1Hk-00048-00025452-00025944 do nothing with those sculptures so there was actually a good reason to sort of play card +zCExlcjk1Hk-00049-00025944-00026466 King once in a while to maybe just unlock those commanders for example art Amnesia you could +zCExlcjk1Hk-00050-00026466-00026970 unlock with card King and then use universals on her whereas without that you would actually have +zCExlcjk1Hk-00051-00026970-00027533 to win a mightiest Governor event for Artemisia right so this was kind of the littlest initial way +zCExlcjk1Hk-00052-00027533-00028074 at you know giving you the opportunity to obtain some of those commanders now it's also worth +zCExlcjk1Hk-00053-00028074-00028614 noting that the card King event came around way before you could actually choose a lot of these +zCExlcjk1Hk-00054-00028614-00029189 commanders in the daily special offer and I think this is probably another reason why card King is +zCExlcjk1Hk-00055-00029189-00029682 no longer an event that comes around in Rise of Kingdoms because at the end of the day you could +zCExlcjk1Hk-00056-00029682-00030276 just buy these commanders these days if you really wanted to do even all the way up through Theodora +zCExlcjk1Hk-00057-00030276-00030948 and Yi Sun Sin who are both incredibly good and I would say these are late game commanders in +zCExlcjk1Hk-00058-00030948-00031398 my opinion now of course they're not as good as like let's say nevsky or Scipio Prime for +zCExlcjk1Hk-00059-00031398-00031962 example but I would say overall there's a really solid selection of really powerful commanders here +zCExlcjk1Hk-00060-00031962-00032495 for the daily special offer that you can just straight up purchase with real money so the +zCExlcjk1Hk-00061-00032495-00033036 fact that the Wheel of Fortune is pick one and the daily special offer is pick one sort of makes card +zCExlcjk1Hk-00062-00033036-00033768 King an obsolete event and on top of that each card flip costed 300 gems and if you didn't ever +zCExlcjk1Hk-00063-00033768-00034266 find the corresponding card that matches with it it was just a waste of gems for example let's say +zCExlcjk1Hk-00064-00034266-00034692 I flipped over this card and it was a universal Commander sculpture then I flip over this card +zCExlcjk1Hk-00065-00034692-00035256 and it was wood or whatever right and then I ran out of gems well great news I just spent 600 gems +zCExlcjk1Hk-00066-00035256-00035682 and you get literally nothing for it right you would get literally nothing and so you would +zCExlcjk1Hk-00067-00035682-00036096 have to continue playing until you matched all the cards that you care heard about and so for +zCExlcjk1Hk-00068-00036096-00036618 that reason I actually hated this event I'm glad that it's gone it did offer you I think one or two +zCExlcjk1Hk-00069-00036618-00037116 free flips basically but at the end of the day I thought this was event this event was pretty +zCExlcjk1Hk-00070-00037116-00037740 garbage and there also wasn't any probability tables um it's my understanding that you know this +zCExlcjk1Hk-00071-00037740-00038280 is a 1 in 12 shot of picking up the specific card that you're looking for because there's 12 cards +zCExlcjk1Hk-00072-00038280-00038742 here obviously but that doesn't necessarily mean that's how this game mode worked right it could be +zCExlcjk1Hk-00073-00038742-00039216 the case that the game flips over all these cards randomly and then it decides on the back end okay +zCExlcjk1Hk-00074-00039216-00039726 whatever card he flips up next it's gonna be a it's gonna be food right and so whether you pick +zCExlcjk1Hk-00075-00039726-00040146 this card or you pick this card the game could have already decided that you're getting food +zCExlcjk1Hk-00076-00040146-00040668 there's the illusion of choice here but we know that you know mobile games especially games like +zCExlcjk1Hk-00077-00040668-00041172 rise of Kingdoms aren't typically transparent on how these games really work now there are +zCExlcjk1Hk-00078-00041172-00041700 some regulations like on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for example that require that +zCExlcjk1Hk-00079-00041700-00042174 that some games disclose different probabilities and things like that um and so it's really unclear +zCExlcjk1Hk-00080-00042174-00042660 I'm not saying that um this event did operate that way but I am saying it's possible that it +zCExlcjk1Hk-00081-00042660-00043206 did and that's why the game felt so unfavorable and so uh kind of lame right and just just not +zCExlcjk1Hk-00082-00043206-00043644 good and speaking of lame events that didn't feel good let's talk about the garden of infinity okay +zCExlcjk1Hk-00083-00043644-00044160 because this event really sucked and I never really played this event I know I believe +zCExlcjk1Hk-00084-00044160-00044670 Chisgule did a lot of live streams with this event where he got completely wrecked most of the time +zCExlcjk1Hk-00085-00044736-00045336 um and I did play this event sometimes but really I just found this this event very unfavorable also +zCExlcjk1Hk-00086-00045336-00045990 relatively boring and honestly there were just so many horrible rewards on this table that I just I +zCExlcjk1Hk-00087-00045990-00046362 just couldn't do it okay now for those of you who don't know what the garden of infinity is +zCExlcjk1Hk-00088-00046362-00046734 essentially this was a game mode where you would pop this bubble in the bottom right corner and +zCExlcjk1Hk-00089-00046734-00047208 it would roll a dice for you okay literally a six-sided dice would be rolled and you would +zCExlcjk1Hk-00090-00047208-00047670 start at this golden button here and you would move however many spaces you actually rolled so +zCExlcjk1Hk-00091-00047670-00048066 let's say you roll a three you would go one two three and you would land on on this purple chest +zCExlcjk1Hk-00092-00048066-00048474 here I literally forgot what these purple chests would give you my assumption is that it was random +zCExlcjk1Hk-00093-00048474-00048864 purple blueprints but I literally forgot I don't know this event was so bad that I don't remember +zCExlcjk1Hk-00094-00048864-00049320 so essentially whatever space you landed on is what you would actually obtain however you could +zCExlcjk1Hk-00095-00049320-00049764 get something like the plus three where if you rolled a two you would go one two you land here +zCExlcjk1Hk-00096-00049764-00050262 and then he goes one two three and you get this one blue material Choice chest which was very +zCExlcjk1Hk-00097-00050262-00050628 cool or you could land on the times too and if I remember correctly what that meant was +zCExlcjk1Hk-00098-00050628-00051030 that whatever you rolled next would be doubled and you would move that many spaces here you see the +zCExlcjk1Hk-00099-00051030-00051438 little reversal icon this would actually send you back in the other direction which was just +zCExlcjk1Hk-00100-00051438-00051846 absolutely insane and a lot of these rewards you know some of them were cool some of them weren't +zCExlcjk1Hk-00101-00051846-00052338 uh the fact that you could get three of the Epic material Choice chests in a single roll was really +zCExlcjk1Hk-00102-00052338-00052932 nice this does only appear once on the board so keep that in mind but ultimately this event was +zCExlcjk1Hk-00103-00052932-00053405 generally unfavorable it seemed like an event that was sort of a gem sync it seemed like an +zCExlcjk1Hk-00104-00053405-00053891 event that was very expensive and it was really for the whales and you have to remember that this +zCExlcjk1Hk-00105-00053891-00054455 event came out around the time or around the time or and shortly after the equipment system actually +zCExlcjk1Hk-00106-00054455-00055002 came into the game it was supposed to be like The Wheel of Fortune event but for materials and +zCExlcjk1Hk-00107-00055002-00055488 blueprints which you could see here but remember back when the equipment system came out there was +zCExlcjk1Hk-00108-00055488-00055950 actually if I remember correctly there were six different materials that you could actually get +zCExlcjk1Hk-00109-00055950-00056520 instead of only four here so if we take a look there's four different types of materials that +zCExlcjk1Hk-00110-00056520-00056988 you can actually get back then I believe there were six or maybe even seven I don't remember +zCExlcjk1Hk-00111-00056988-00057420 exactly there were like feathers and something else in here but anyway the purpose of this event +zCExlcjk1Hk-00112-00057420-00057936 was again sort of like the Wheel of Fortune but for the equipment system instead of the commander +zCExlcjk1Hk-00113-00057936-00058452 system and so a lot of people saw this as like a whale event right whereas The Wheel of Fortune +zCExlcjk1Hk-00114-00058452-00058872 was just a way to maybe unlock commanders and you could slowly work on them over time this was more +zCExlcjk1Hk-00115-00058872-00059417 of a whale event because it would you know you really had to spend a lot of gems just to get +zCExlcjk1Hk-00116-00059417-00059820 the few material Choice chests that were on the board here I mean obviously we have a couple of +zCExlcjk1Hk-00117-00059820-00060300 the blue ones we have a couple of the purple ones here but the rest is just a bunch of BS right you +zCExlcjk1Hk-00118-00060300-00060732 have like yeah there was like Universal speed UPS here and stuff like that and there was some +zCExlcjk1Hk-00119-00060732-00061200 Milestone rewards down here just like there are on the Wheel of Fortune but in general it just +zCExlcjk1Hk-00120-00061200-00061758 seemed so expensive for you know just a handful of material Choice chests and I think ultimately +zCExlcjk1Hk-00121-00061758-00062244 players just didn't like this event it got to the point where you know I often spin at least +zCExlcjk1Hk-00122-00062244-00062705 a little bit on the Wheel of Fortune but I would basically never play this event even if I was +zCExlcjk1Hk-00123-00062705-00063162 spending in Max purchasing bundles I would pretty much always skip this event because it was just so +zCExlcjk1Hk-00124-00063162-00063648 expensive it just seemed like an absolute rip-off it just seemed like a huge scam but then there +zCExlcjk1Hk-00125-00063648-00064386 was also the question that was raised at one point about the legitimacy of this event so what I mean +zCExlcjk1Hk-00126-00064386-00064991 by that is you know we don't actually know if this dice roll was rigged right we're assuming based on +zCExlcjk1Hk-00127-00064991-00065664 how the game looks and operates that the dice was not rigged but at the same time the rules don't +zCExlcjk1Hk-00128-00065664-00066204 ever state that this is a fair six-sided dice and I know that that sounds like oh my God that's so +zCExlcjk1Hk-00129-00066204-00066726 conspiracy theory but you have to remember rise of Kingdoms is a game with like 900 different types +zCExlcjk1Hk-00130-00066726-00067212 of loot boxes there's like two battle passes a crystal text system I mean if there's a way to +zCExlcjk1Hk-00131-00067212-00067752 monetize in a mobile game rise of Kingdoms has done it and if there's a way that they can blur +zCExlcjk1Hk-00132-00067752-00068226 the the lines between legal and illegal and blur the lines between you know getting into a little +zCExlcjk1Hk-00133-00068226-00068730 bit of a gray area there's absolutely no reason to assume that this event was operating fairly I mean +zCExlcjk1Hk-00134-00068730-00069258 if we look at the Wheel of Fortune for example this is a 12 spoke wheel that does not operate +zCExlcjk1Hk-00135-00069258-00069942 as it appears to it appears to be that each space has a an equal probability of occurring right this +zCExlcjk1Hk-00136-00069942-00070614 wheel is divided evenly into 12 different segments each segment has the same size these are the same +zCExlcjk1Hk-00137-00070614-00071148 size on the wheel which implies that they would have the same probability of occurring but if +zCExlcjk1Hk-00138-00071148-00071628 you click the little I over here you'll see that that's not actually how this works so despite this +zCExlcjk1Hk-00139-00071628-00072270 appearing to be a fair and even wheel that is is not actually the case so there is no reason +zCExlcjk1Hk-00140-00072270-00072858 to assume that this is a fair and even dice roll every single time that it's rolled and some would +zCExlcjk1Hk-00141-00072858-00073488 speculate that this event did something in the background to sort of always get you to just spin +zCExlcjk1Hk-00142-00073488-00073986 one more time just one more like oh you landed on the two times that oh just just one more spin +zCExlcjk1Hk-00143-00073986-00074502 oh oh look look where you landed you're so close to getting that to getting that three drop you're +zCExlcjk1Hk-00144-00074502-00075114 just so close and so personally I'm really happy that we no longer have this event in the game now +zCExlcjk1Hk-00145-00075114-00075624 eventually this was replaced by events like the hunt for history which is that Egyptian style +zCExlcjk1Hk-00146-00075624-00076074 event where you get certain Hammers and you just break open each individual box and hope that you +zCExlcjk1Hk-00147-00076074-00076554 actually get what you're looking for we also now have the Holy nights treasure event which I also +zCExlcjk1Hk-00148-00076554-00077100 think is a much better event than the garden of infinity ever was and who could forget Esmeralda's +zCExlcjk1Hk-00149-00077100-00077514 house now I actually don't know whose thumbnail this is obviously is the YouTube thumbnail so +zCExlcjk1Hk-00150-00077514-00077886 shout out to you if this is yours but again this is an event where you draw cards and there's you +zCExlcjk1Hk-00151-00077886-00078360 know certain Milestone rewards and stuff like that and ultimately that event was also better than the +zCExlcjk1Hk-00152-00078360-00078786 garden of infinity and who could invent the new Esmeralda wheel that has a bunch of different +zCExlcjk1Hk-00153-00078786-00079296 crazy stuff here including heads and Universal Choice chests for materials so it's no wonder +zCExlcjk1Hk-00154-00079296-00079956 that the garden of infinity event is uh no longer with us okay this event just was a big scam it was +zCExlcjk1Hk-00155-00079956-00080424 very expensive and pretty much everybody hated it I don't know anybody who actually enjoyed +zCExlcjk1Hk-00156-00080424-00080910 this this was the Garden of pain this was the Garden of scams okay so I think both this event +zCExlcjk1Hk-00157-00080910-00081492 and the card King event just became quickly Obsolete and unfavorable from the community +zCExlcjk1Hk-00158-00081492-00082032 which caused Lilith eventually to just pull the plug on them and replace them with newer better +zCExlcjk1Hk-00159-00082032-00082566 events that gave the players maybe more value or they were more fun in general or maybe they just +zCExlcjk1Hk-00160-00082566-00083022 had better odds for the players or it could be the case that because both of these events +zCExlcjk1Hk-00161-00083022-00083712 were listed in the rise of Kingdoms class action lawsuit against Lilith games that Lilith decided +zCExlcjk1Hk-00162-00083712-00084210 hey you know what it's actually not worth it to Key keep these events in this game and again if +zCExlcjk1Hk-00163-00084210-00084606 you guys want more information about this I'll have like a 20 minute video on my second Channel +zCExlcjk1Hk-00164-00084606-00085050 covering that class action lawsuit in California there will be a link in the description below to +zCExlcjk1Hk-00165-00085050-00085530 go ahead and check it out and consider liking and subscribing to that channel it really is going to +zCExlcjk1Hk-00166-00085530-00085998 help that channel a ton and hopefully I can give you guys really awesome content over there that +zCExlcjk1Hk-00167-00085998-00086460 maybe isn't always rise of Kingdoms related but possibly just Mobile gaming or gaming news in +zCExlcjk1Hk-00168-00086460-00086808 general anyway with that being said guys if you enjoyed this video make sure you drop a thumbs +zCExlcjk1Hk-00169-00086808-00087174 up on it it really helps out the main Channel a ton of course subscribe to the

down below what do you think the reason is that they got rid of the card king or the +zCExlcjk1Hk-00172-00087990-00088434 garden of infinity event I would love to hear from you and did you like these events do you +zCExlcjk1Hk-00173-00088434-00088848 miss these events or are you glad they're gone and replaced with new ones with that being said +zCExlcjk1Hk-00174-00088848-00089214 guys thank you so much for watching this has been Omniarch I will talk to you guys again soon peace +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00000-00000000-00000215 Today we're going to talk about why the +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00001-00000215-00000485 visualization of the thing not a thing. +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00002-00002560-00002814 When you hear something like this you +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00003-00002814-00003159 might think oh of course, the "map is not +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00004-00003159-00003479 the territory" I know when I look at a map +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00005-00003479-00003711 i'm not looking at the thing. When we do +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00006-00003711-00004104 our work we often act as if the map is +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00007-00004104-00004461 the thing. When you look at a map of +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00008-00004461-00004778 mountains it's not a mountain, we can't +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00009-00004778-00005067 feel the map paper and feel the +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00010-00005067-00005373 snowcaps of the mountains you are passing +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00011-00005373-00005664 over in fact it's simply a +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00012-00005664-00005916 representation of the mountain. +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00013-00005916-00006414 The details aren't there. Another example +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00014-00006414-00006633 that I've heard from this author and now +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00015-00006633-00006897 named Robert Anton Wilson is even if +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00016-00006897-00007331 you're thirsty saying water isn't going +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00017-00007331-00007503 to make you "un-thirsty" +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00018-00007503-00007842 you're not going to relieve yourself of +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00019-00007842-00008100 the thirst by saying water. +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00020-00008100-00008514 What does this mean for our work? Well it +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00021-00008514-00008790 means that we have to remember that +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00022-00008790-00009306 although we plan and we sketch and we +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00023-00009306-00009624 figure out the high level of the thing +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00024-00009624-00009978 of what we're doing, we can't find and +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00025-00009978-00010359 see the complications of what the +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00026-00010359-00010584 project is until we're on the ground and +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00027-00010584-00010896 working. At a certain point we can't +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00028-00010896-00011163 reference the map as "the thing." As +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00029-00011163-00011489 I said before what are you going to +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00030-00011489-00011675 believe feeling the snow of the +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00031-00011675-00012075 mountains or the paper that has the +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00032-00012075-00012477 mountain top line. Too often, as leaders +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00033-00012477-00012771 we sometimes refer back to the map when +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00034-00012771-00012944 the actual thing is +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00035-00012944-00013215 right in front of us. The big takeaway +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00036-00013215-00013766 here is; do not confuse the map as the +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00037-00013766-00014184 territory the visualization the thing is +zE-KnhM8HJQ-00038-00014184-00015183 not the thing. +zEW--WtYFGU-00000-00000138-00000407 >> Are we connected now ask -- X. +zEW--WtYFGU-00001-00000407-00000756 can you hear me ask excellent. +zEW--WtYFGU-00002-00000756-00001146 I will go on mute. +zEW--WtYFGU-00003-00001146-00001522 >> Okay we are joined by Greg [ Indiscernible ] as many of you know are -- is the affiliate +zEW--WtYFGU-00004-00001522-00002352 with NHGRI in a various capacity and was instrumental in issues in program planning that has led +zEW--WtYFGU-00005-00002352-00002741 to this >> And the concept clearance we're talking +zEW--WtYFGU-00006-00002741-00003121 about it this meeting and we will visualize and present it to you now but +zEW--WtYFGU-00007-00003121-00003805 >> So presenting to you now on family history in the challenging setting of the clinical +zEW--WtYFGU-00008-00003805-00004315 care -- as Erica mentioned Greg [ Indiscernible ] is on the phone with me and was instrumental +zEW--WtYFGU-00009-00004315-00005203 in developing this that has -- that has been developed here with a trans-NIH family history +zEW--WtYFGU-00010-00005203-00005787 working group which consists of 18 different NIH institutes as well as the clinical Center +zEW--WtYFGU-00011-00005787-00006498 and we recently got representation from the help research services administration as well. +zEW--WtYFGU-00012-00006498-00007003 >> This family history initiative is proposed to develop and evaluate methods selection +zEW--WtYFGU-00013-00007003-00007268 and utilization of accurate family history data. +zEW--WtYFGU-00014-00007268-00007559 And the time pressure setting of practical clinicians. +zEW--WtYFGU-00015-00007559-00007890 So what really -- we would really like to take the family history tools that have been +zEW--WtYFGU-00016-00007890-00008792 developed mostly in more research settings and try to -- clinical settings and potentially +zEW--WtYFGU-00017-00008792-00009386 different information a -- information to collect. +zEW--WtYFGU-00018-00009386-00010079 >> The one for study agreement -- another one for a single or dating center. +zEW--WtYFGU-00019-00010079-00010925 And to me number five -- -- in a critical setting. +zEW--WtYFGU-00020-00010925-00011417 >> This is currently a comical part of standard history collection. +zEW--WtYFGU-00021-00011417-00012018 And it is standard -- and clinical settings for rare diseases. +zEW--WtYFGU-00022-00012018-00012399 >> Family history of diseases that is also the single strongest measure that we currently +zEW--WtYFGU-00023-00012399-00012986 have for diseases such as coronary heart disease that genetically mediate risk of disease. +zEW--WtYFGU-00024-00012986-00013634 Mac however if you look at data from the study and this is the five phase 1 site -- you can +zEW--WtYFGU-00025-00013634-00014310 see that whereas both sides have over 80% collection for that disease -- only two of +zEW--WtYFGU-00026-00014310-00014822 the sites elected family history data and even those two sites -- more than 70% of the +zEW--WtYFGU-00027-00014822-00015061 data was either missing or incomplete. +zEW--WtYFGU-00028-00015061-00015781 Mac so that we know that family history data is important, electronic health records to +zEW--WtYFGU-00029-00015781-00016369 collect in a more integrated and standard of it if we develop that are tools for this +zEW--WtYFGU-00030-00016369-00016584 type of collection. +zEW--WtYFGU-00031-00016584-00017084 >> As well as family history might be useful for performing a future interpretation of +zEW--WtYFGU-00032-00017084-00017562 data within electronic health records such as sequence information but +zEW--WtYFGU-00033-00017562-00018110 >> NHGRI has been involved in family history activities for a number of your -- yours we +zEW--WtYFGU-00034-00018110-00018767 are involved in the family health tool developed with the Surgeon General group as well as +zEW--WtYFGU-00035-00018767-00019338 the family history devastation projects related to the use of my family health portrait tool. +zEW--WtYFGU-00036-00019338-00019915 And have supported initiatives and incentives for including family history within atomic +zEW--WtYFGU-00037-00019915-00020178 health records. +zEW--WtYFGU-00038-00020178-00020809 >> And -- NHGRI was also a key player within the state of science family history and improving +zEW--WtYFGU-00039-00020809-00021213 health offer that was held to have the nine and [ Indiscernible ] was a German to part +zEW--WtYFGU-00040-00021213-00021366 of this. +zEW--WtYFGU-00041-00021366-00021910 This conference led to 25 different recommendations for research areas in family history and where +zEW--WtYFGU-00042-00021910-00022291 this needs to go in order to better -- better I lamented in clinical settings. +zEW--WtYFGU-00043-00022291-00022929 And what we have done is try to distill this down into four key areas for this initiative. +zEW--WtYFGU-00044-00022929-00023421 >> The first of these focuses on question of family history within a clinical heading +zEW--WtYFGU-00045-00023421-00023918 -- setting where you often have time constraints on time to collect the data. +zEW--WtYFGU-00046-00023918-00024444 Mac ever the collection methods need to be practical, efficient and cost effective in +zEW--WtYFGU-00047-00024444-00024646 order to be useful in the clinical setting. +zEW--WtYFGU-00048-00024646-00025228 >> We also would like to focus on strategies for integrating ancient data for personal +zEW--WtYFGU-00049-00025228-00025526 health records into the electronic health records. +zEW--WtYFGU-00050-00025526-00025901 >> So much as necessarily quick and information within clinical settings for perhaps their +zEW--WtYFGU-00051-00025901-00026293 way that this information comes to the patient themselves in other settings and they can +zEW--WtYFGU-00052-00026293-00026441 integrated into the health records. +zEW--WtYFGU-00053-00026441-00027058 >> Arthur point that we pulled out and the vaccinations from the different was related +zEW--WtYFGU-00054-00027058-00027652 to how and when family history should he collected the utilized in order to optimize outcomes. +zEW--WtYFGU-00055-00027652-00028177 >> This may also -- which conditions is most conducive to collectively history information +zEW--WtYFGU-00056-00028177-00028666 on and what questions of the most useful to ask but +zEW--WtYFGU-00057-00028666-00029022 >> And finally we want to make sure that any family history data that is collected is a +zEW--WtYFGU-00058-00029022-00029332 part of the initiative is going to be accurate. +zEW--WtYFGU-00059-00029332-00029957 >> Overall family history data has been found to be accurate with a number of studies. +zEW--WtYFGU-00060-00029957-00030635 In this paper from 2012 you can see congruence of family history data with a number of separate +zEW--WtYFGU-00061-00030635-00030752 accuracy measures. +zEW--WtYFGU-00062-00030752-00031204 They looked at three different common diseases that are related to diabetes, hypertension +zEW--WtYFGU-00063-00031204-00031444 and overweight. +zEW--WtYFGU-00064-00031444-00031919 And asked individuals both their own personal self-reported whether or not they had any +zEW--WtYFGU-00065-00031919-00032501 of these three conditions, as well as asking about the family history of these three different +zEW--WtYFGU-00066-00032501-00032601 conditions. +zEW--WtYFGU-00067-00032601-00033188 >> They then compared the report from the individual on the family history to self-reports +zEW--WtYFGU-00068-00033188-00033671 from the relatives of the individuals of -- the first degree relatives and found that in general, +zEW--WtYFGU-00069-00033671-00034224 the report from the individual is coming get -- giving the history of the relatives tend +zEW--WtYFGU-00070-00034224-00034935 to be pretty congruent with rates around 80% to 90% prevented physician assessment of both +zEW--WtYFGU-00071-00034935-00035338 the individual super -- provide the history of well as the first degree relatives. +zEW--WtYFGU-00072-00035338-00035934 And you can see that the congruence between an individual's own self that this is and +zEW--WtYFGU-00073-00035934-00036723 there positions diagnosis is very similar to that between of their... and what they +zEW--WtYFGU-00074-00036723-00036977 reported as being relatives. +zEW--WtYFGU-00075-00036977-00037364 Risk of disease status. +zEW--WtYFGU-00076-00037364-00037811 >> When you're looking at family history, you tend to get a increase in false negatives +zEW--WtYFGU-00077-00037811-00038274 as you move further out from the individuals that you're asking about family history -- so +zEW--WtYFGU-00078-00038274-00038801 first degree... and up with false-negative do we start working out per second and third +zEW--WtYFGU-00079-00038801-00038901 degree relatives. +zEW--WtYFGU-00080-00038901-00039502 >> And there's also been some studies have shown that paternal relatives may be underreported +zEW--WtYFGU-00081-00039502-00040028 compared to maternal relatives we ask a family history. +zEW--WtYFGU-00082-00040028-00040855 >> Family history has information about genomics and environment looking at the study -- you +zEW--WtYFGU-00083-00040855-00041452 can see that when you look at the copies and whether their adopted parents had ordinary +zEW--WtYFGU-00084-00041452-00042062 hard disease, there wasn't much of an associated risk with the environment of the parents having +zEW--WtYFGU-00085-00042062-00042619 coronary heart disease but however we look at that piece that had at least one biological +zEW--WtYFGU-00086-00042619-00043072 parent who had coronary heart disease, there was an increase in risk associated with having +zEW--WtYFGU-00087-00043072-00043756 a biological parent who had coronary heart disease and was antibody. +zEW--WtYFGU-00088-00043756-00044454 >> Family history data can also be used to potentially increase the accuracy of risk +zEW--WtYFGU-00089-00044454-00044690 classification category. +zEW--WtYFGU-00090-00044690-00045721 In the study, they look at individual -- individuals and whether or not they have -- high neovascular +zEW--WtYFGU-00091-00045721-00045972 these risk -- -- for cardiovascular disease. +zEW--WtYFGU-00092-00045972-00046688 And then look at the standard history okay -- in the medical record. +zEW--WtYFGU-00093-00046688-00047354 Mac is not much of a difference -- between the risk assessment using the family history +zEW--WtYFGU-00094-00047354-00047590 data or without the family history data. +zEW--WtYFGU-00095-00047590-00048069 >> However when they then added in a structure to best assessment with additional questionnaire +zEW--WtYFGU-00096-00048069-00048636 that was asking specific questions about family history information, or was an increase of +zEW--WtYFGU-00097-00048636-00049226 5% of individuals being classified into the high court in vascular [ Indiscernible ] and +zEW--WtYFGU-00098-00049226-00049946 this is overall a 40% more patients being classified into that loop then or previously +zEW--WtYFGU-00099-00049946-00050468 classified using the routine assessment but >> And this is important because individuals +zEW--WtYFGU-00100-00050468-00050910 that are classified as being at high risk of credit records these are then recommended +zEW--WtYFGU-00101-00050910-00051411 for interventions that could prevent disease in the future but +zEW--WtYFGU-00102-00051411-00051902 >> Have also been in the visuals that and presentable about whether or not using this +zEW--WtYFGU-00103-00051902-00052436 sort of technology in primary care practice or family history could potentially be useful +zEW--WtYFGU-00104-00052436-00052940 but this is a quote from Dr. Berg who was the chair of the science cover and who actually +zEW--WtYFGU-00105-00052940-00053458 upon seeing the study actually thought that it was a great example of how family history +zEW--WtYFGU-00106-00053458-00054214 could be used and clinically useful in accounting risk classifications and potentially shift +zEW--WtYFGU-00107-00054214-00054577 in patients into more accurate ossification's. +zEW--WtYFGU-00108-00054577-00054714 >> -- Classification. +zEW--WtYFGU-00109-00054714-00055522 >> It can also be used with genetic information -- the population risk of cordial cancel decreases +zEW--WtYFGU-00110-00055522-00055689 with the individuals age. +zEW--WtYFGU-00111-00055689-00056161 If you look at family histories that increase individuals at risk about double. +zEW--WtYFGU-00112-00056161-00056862 >> And you start looking at genetic information you can see that having greater than 13 risk +zEW--WtYFGU-00113-00056862-00057291 -- but the individuals at greater risk than what you captured using family history information +zEW--WtYFGU-00114-00057291-00057777 but however when you combine those two types of data, you find that there is a separate +zEW--WtYFGU-00115-00057777-00058304 individuals at higher risk but this can be seen as you start looking at individuals with +zEW--WtYFGU-00116-00058304-00058854 more more risk -- but the pattern continues and it seems like both these genetic information +zEW--WtYFGU-00117-00058854-00059446 to the family history information are both adding unique information to this risk populations. +zEW--WtYFGU-00118-00059446-00060045 >> Overall, we have seen that family history information can be elected accurately but +zEW--WtYFGU-00119-00060045-00060419 it can be used to find information on to mix. +zEW--WtYFGU-00120-00060419-00061017 And it can be used in conjunction with information to provide additional information to risk +zEW--WtYFGU-00121-00061017-00061117 occupation. +zEW--WtYFGU-00122-00061117-00061570 >> So the overall all of this initiative is to take current family history approaches +zEW--WtYFGU-00123-00061570-00061986 that were typically developed a research study, and try to develop them into more she might +zEW--WtYFGU-00124-00061986-00062433 methods that can be used in routine local settings such as primary care. +zEW--WtYFGU-00125-00062433-00062995 >> We have three specific old -- to develop the stream I methods that would all the electronic +zEW--WtYFGU-00126-00062995-00063542 methods that can be let into electronic health record systems but to then develop and evaluate +zEW--WtYFGU-00127-00063542-00063820 risk of where the using the stream I methods. +zEW--WtYFGU-00128-00063820-00064250 And finally working on increasing the efficiency and interoperability of family history data +zEW--WtYFGU-00129-00064250-00064754 -- as collection and within the electronic health system but +zEW--WtYFGU-00130-00064754-00065361 >> We would expect that these studies would compare the algorithms to more sense of family +zEW--WtYFGU-00131-00065361-00065913 history approaches, or current standard clinical practice that they would evaluate the stability +zEW--WtYFGU-00132-00065913-00066472 of the added value that the family history information brought to the risk assessment. +zEW--WtYFGU-00133-00066472-00067152 And do this both within the context of their standard out of rhythm and the other is that +zEW--WtYFGU-00134-00067152-00067520 they are developing but >> They would provide information on the data +zEW--WtYFGU-00135-00067520-00068080 sharing plan and the percent procedures but meet current standards for electronic health +zEW--WtYFGU-00136-00068080-00068573 records, and make sure that they are going to be inter-and intra-operable for the electronic +zEW--WtYFGU-00137-00068573-00069035 health record system can be -- can speak to multiple systems both within that electronic +zEW--WtYFGU-00138-00069035-00069367 health records and between is a tonic health record systems. +zEW--WtYFGU-00139-00069367-00069820 And finally that they would work to harmonize with other related research standards for +zEW--WtYFGU-00140-00069820-00070310 data collection such as Phoenix measures that are developed by an HJR -- NHGRI but +zEW--WtYFGU-00141-00070310-00070861 >> And samples applications and some of the studies might include incorporating family +zEW--WtYFGU-00142-00070861-00071254 history data with other critical information or to make information that currently can +zEW--WtYFGU-00143-00071254-00071739 be found in their own tonic health records systems but they can work on developing strategies +zEW--WtYFGU-00144-00071739-00072257 and three of the family history data and health record systems have to be done by the patient's +zEW--WtYFGU-00145-00072257-00072567 cells by relatives, by the clinicians. +zEW--WtYFGU-00146-00072567-00072961 >> Look at the economic efficiency of family history collection. +zEW--WtYFGU-00147-00072961-00073676 As well as the commentor he was a health record interfaces that allow patients -- and interact +zEW--WtYFGU-00148-00073676-00073776 with it. +zEW--WtYFGU-00149-00073776-00074277 >> They can also look at how the issues such as patient perceptions with sharing family +zEW--WtYFGU-00150-00074277-00074624 history data within history and with clinicians. +zEW--WtYFGU-00151-00074624-00075098 >> As well as or research oriented questions such as the Association of the gnomic grants +zEW--WtYFGU-00152-00075098-00075605 for phenotype that you might find in the family history data. +zEW--WtYFGU-00153-00075605-00076010 >> As we mentioned previously, there is a trans and eight family history working group +zEW--WtYFGU-00154-00076010-00076595 that was involved in the development of the concept this is a NHGRI working group . That +zEW--WtYFGU-00155-00076595-00077167 has been commended -- recommending ways to take the recreations from the conference and +zEW--WtYFGU-00156-00077167-00077611 commended the development of the initiative but they provided feedback on this concept +zEW--WtYFGU-00157-00077611-00077991 and two of the key points that they wanted to have highlighted was that they really thought +zEW--WtYFGU-00158-00077991-00078514 it was important just to focus on helping tools for family history election, but to +zEW--WtYFGU-00159-00078514-00078924 have easy ways to do this is to be able to use interpretative history data. +zEW--WtYFGU-00160-00078924-00079436 But in order for that to become useful in clinical practice, it needs to go a step beyond +zEW--WtYFGU-00161-00079436-00079830 just clicking the data to providing that information that the user clinical care. +zEW--WtYFGU-00162-00079830-00080398 Mac now so they highlight the interoperability of a tonic health records is really key in +zEW--WtYFGU-00163-00080398-00080783 order to be able to make tools useful in multiple clinical settings. +zEW--WtYFGU-00164-00080783-00081312 Mac there are multiple [ Indiscernible ] ICs that are enthusiastic but they cannot -- cannot +zEW--WtYFGU-00165-00081312-00081651 commit unsolicited draft of the RFA. +zEW--WtYFGU-00166-00081651-00082889 Mac [ Please hang up phone so that transitioning captioner can phone in. +zEW--WtYFGU-00167-00082889-00083049 Thank you. +zEW--WtYFGU-00168-00083049-00083513 ] >> [ Please hang up phone so that transitioning +zEW--WtYFGU-00169-00083513-00083627 captioner can phone in. +zEW--WtYFGU-00170-00083627-00083727 Thank you. +zEW--WtYFGU-00171-00083727-00083827 ] but >> [ Captioners transitioning ] but +zEW--WtYFGU-00172-00083827-00085116 >>>The things that might be able to be done might not include +zEW--WtYFGU-00173-00085116-00085632 figuring out how to collect family history more accurately. +zEW--WtYFGU-00174-00085632-00085892 Clearly that was embedded in their. +zEW--WtYFGU-00175-00085892-00086076 It seems like it's a problem. +zEW--WtYFGU-00176-00086076-00086729 The way that most people do it is the best way. +zEW--WtYFGU-00177-00086729-00087247 >>We would expect that anybody caning -- coming to this they were collecting the data accurately +zEW--WtYFGU-00178-00087247-00087347 and can focus. +zEW--WtYFGU-00179-00087347-00087883 That is part of the goals is it is accurate collection. +zEW--WtYFGU-00180-00087883-00088601 >>May be this is broader than just for this one that when you come up with these ideas +zEW--WtYFGU-00181-00088601-00089247 and make these concept clearances, have you think about a budget. +zEW--WtYFGU-00182-00089247-00089603 I have no idea how much of a cost to do this. +zEW--WtYFGU-00183-00089603-00090108 Is it $5 million apiece or $500,000 a piece? +zEW--WtYFGU-00184-00090108-00090698 What do you do to do this estimates I guess? +zEW--WtYFGU-00185-00090698-00091272 >>We estimate cost based on the personnel and supplies that would be necessary in order +zEW--WtYFGU-00186-00091272-00091968 to conduct an average project that would be responsive to the initiative we are developing. +zEW--WtYFGU-00187-00091968-00092449 So in this case we consider the fact that you would need bio informatics support to +zEW--WtYFGU-00188-00092449-00092905 develop the system for being able to collect the family history data and integrated into +zEW--WtYFGU-00189-00092905-00093527 your electronic health system as well as new thing and clinician to support information +zEW--WtYFGU-00190-00093527-00093720 and determine how accurate it is. +zEW--WtYFGU-00191-00093720-00094336 And based off of that calculation for how many support personnel and supplies he would +zEW--WtYFGU-00192-00094336-00094774 need, we get a rough estimate as to what each center would cost. +zEW--WtYFGU-00193-00094774-00095701 We add in approximately -- for indirect cost of that that we get an approximate number. +zEW--WtYFGU-00194-00095701-00096321 >>And not counting -- the other programs. +zEW--WtYFGU-00195-00096321-00097318 The other NIH institutes. +zEW--WtYFGU-00196-00097318-00097823 So is that -- if there's a lot of interest in that came in with that cut the amount you +zEW--WtYFGU-00197-00097823-00098193 would be able to spend down or are you adding to it? +zEW--WtYFGU-00198-00098193-00098538 >>It could potentially cut the amount down. +zEW--WtYFGU-00199-00098538-00099410 >>This is something I think may be for another session but in general, how do you deal with +zEW--WtYFGU-00200-00099410-00099616 -- what if it was half that amount. +zEW--WtYFGU-00201-00099616-00099960 Could you start doing the initiative. +zEW--WtYFGU-00202-00099960-00100539 And not this particular one but in general, that is one of the things to be thinking about +zEW--WtYFGU-00203-00100539-00101268 because not to be -- it could happen. +zEW--WtYFGU-00204-00101268-00101714 Part of this is prioritization overall but the other question is whether you can do and +zEW--WtYFGU-00205-00101714-00102648 initiative with different amounts and the answer is no ways -- no. +zEW--WtYFGU-00206-00102648-00103070 >>We would need to make sure we still have multiple sites and the coordinating center +zEW--WtYFGU-00207-00103070-00103461 component to this initiative because it's important to make sure it's being done in +zEW--WtYFGU-00208-00103461-00103957 multiple types of clinical settings along with multiple patient populations to make +zEW--WtYFGU-00209-00103957-00104791 sure developing tools that are going to be applicable across a variety of clinical settings. +zEW--WtYFGU-00210-00104791-00105164 >>You're going -- my question. +zEW--WtYFGU-00211-00105164-00105604 Is the assumption year there exist or will exist a single set of methods or approaches +zEW--WtYFGU-00212-00105604-00106016 that work from oncology to cardiovascular? +zEW--WtYFGU-00213-00106016-00106716 >>We are not assuming that there is -- there would only be one set of methods that would +zEW--WtYFGU-00214-00106716-00106816 work. +zEW--WtYFGU-00215-00106816-00107341 They are coming in with an application and could choose to look at different diseases +zEW--WtYFGU-00216-00107341-00107776 and see if a similar set of questions would solve and they could choose to focus on a +zEW--WtYFGU-00217-00107776-00108391 particular phenotype in developing a set of questions that work well for that condition. +zEW--WtYFGU-00218-00108391-00108866 >>I would chime in. +zEW--WtYFGU-00219-00108866-00109558 Just to say that -- I would anticipate that there would not be a one-size-fits-all rule. +zEW--WtYFGU-00220-00109558-00110177 There will probably several types of -- tools to develop depending on the clinical setting. +zEW--WtYFGU-00221-00110177-00110699 Primary care has different needs than oncology clinic. +zEW--WtYFGU-00222-00110699-00111067 In terms of level of granularity they might need to get. +zEW--WtYFGU-00223-00111067-00111523 But it would be nice to have a suite of tools developed to have some degree of interoperability +zEW--WtYFGU-00224-00111523-00112270 so that data collected in a primary care setting could be foundational for the oncology Department. +zEW--WtYFGU-00225-00112270-00113102 >>That is what -- I am pleased to say that is the direction you would take is to -- preferable +zEW--WtYFGU-00226-00113102-00113247 but not assumed. +zEW--WtYFGU-00227-00113247-00114114 >>I believe it is something that should be done but I'm curious why it would be done +zEW--WtYFGU-00228-00114114-00114992 in an HDR I in -- instead of a common fund because it seems like it [ Indiscernible ]. What +zEW--WtYFGU-00229-00114992-00116236 is proposed here is products -- I feel like that is the beginning and how do you see this +zEW--WtYFGU-00230-00116236-00116783 implemented in the nationwide basis as well as the impact that it should. +zEW--WtYFGU-00231-00116783-00117155 >>I can start with why NHGRI question. +zEW--WtYFGU-00232-00117155-00117774 Each year I've been involved in family history initiatives for a number of years now so we +zEW--WtYFGU-00233-00117774-00118414 do have a group of expertise here at the Institute that have been involved in the area for a +zEW--WtYFGU-00234-00118414-00118514 while. +zEW--WtYFGU-00235-00118514-00119016 As well as where disease agnostic so if we're trying to develop tools that are going to +zEW--WtYFGU-00236-00119016-00120027 be able to be applied across Genome medic medicine it doesn't fit within our goal to +zEW--WtYFGU-00237-00120027-00120410 be able to work within this area to develop them a history and electronic all medical +zEW--WtYFGU-00238-00120410-00120660 records. +zEW--WtYFGU-00239-00120660-00121453 >>Then it would be different for different diseases. +zEW--WtYFGU-00240-00121453-00122226 >>We are trying to partner with other NIH NIC potentially to get additional funding +zEW--WtYFGU-00241-00122226-00122389 for this initiative. +zEW--WtYFGU-00242-00122389-00123022 If they came in with the conditions they were interested in funding that might be there +zEW--WtYFGU-00243-00123022-00123432 particular dollars would go to a particular disease but we are interested in trying to +zEW--WtYFGU-00244-00123432-00123858 get something that will be [ Indiscernible ] and make sure this is something that will +zEW--WtYFGU-00245-00123858-00124265 be applicable across a wide variety of different phenotypes. +zEW--WtYFGU-00246-00124265-00124967 >>Dora the question was related to where do we see this going in the future. +zEW--WtYFGU-00247-00124967-00125082 >>Implementation. +zEW--WtYFGU-00248-00125082-00125196 Effectiveness. +zEW--WtYFGU-00249-00125196-00125857 >>This is designed as a small pilot study to develop these totals which is something +zEW--WtYFGU-00250-00125857-00126408 that NHGRI has a lot of experience and is developing tools for genomic applications. +zEW--WtYFGU-00251-00126408-00126969 In the future this might be something that could partner up with some of our other initiatives +zEW--WtYFGU-00252-00126969-00127478 potentially looking at applying this information with general makes sequence data or moving +zEW--WtYFGU-00253-00127478-00127910 in that direction and integrating with some of our future genomic medicine initiatives. +zEW--WtYFGU-00254-00127910-00128571 Right now we are trying to get the information on how do we collect this data and what additional +zEW--WtYFGU-00255-00128571-00129004 information visit added had we do this effectively. +zEW--WtYFGU-00256-00129004-00129477 >>I would just add to that. +zEW--WtYFGU-00257-00129477-00130126 I think it's a great fit for an HDR I because it complements well be highly technical genomic +zEW--WtYFGU-00258-00130126-00130226 information. +zEW--WtYFGU-00259-00130226-00130801 It integrates that very nicely and I think there's a lot of expertise here, and the community +zEW--WtYFGU-00260-00130801-00131482 of people who traditionally are funded by NHGRI will be exactly the community that can +zEW--WtYFGU-00261-00131482-00131725 really tackle this. +zEW--WtYFGU-00262-00131725-00132586 The other thing I would add is it's also highly dependent to make this work I think on synthesizing +zEW--WtYFGU-00263-00132586-00132853 it with the EMR. +zEW--WtYFGU-00264-00132853-00133359 And so I think highlighting that is good and it's the kind of thing that NHGRI has expertise. +zEW--WtYFGU-00265-00133359-00134291 >>Maybe I missed this in the presentation but can you +zEW--WtYFGU-00266-00134291-00134750 say a word about what the data -- state-of-the-art is year? +zEW--WtYFGU-00267-00134750-00135655 >>Suitably there are a lot of commercial efforts in electronic medical records also and assumably +zEW--WtYFGU-00268-00135655-00136175 some of them have to deal with family history and I'm wondering what the state-of-the-art +zEW--WtYFGU-00269-00136175-00136275 is? +zEW--WtYFGU-00270-00136275-00136622 >>There are some family history tools that have been developed. +zEW--WtYFGU-00271-00136622-00137183 A number of them were developed specifically in a research context. +zEW--WtYFGU-00272-00137183-00137778 A lot of them take a long period of time to fill out which might work if you have a patient +zEW--WtYFGU-00273-00137778-00138203 who is able to build things out ahead of time and bring information but you might be able +zEW--WtYFGU-00274-00138203-00138744 to have it integrated into the EHR and have information that could be fed back to your +zEW--WtYFGU-00275-00138744-00139129 clinician in a format that will be useful for medical care. +zEW--WtYFGU-00276-00139129-00139678 >>So these totals at -- are targeted at the patient and the patient entry? +zEW--WtYFGU-00277-00139678-00140097 >>We are not specifying where the data entry has to be. +zEW--WtYFGU-00278-00140097-00140781 It could be your having multiple routes of entry data into the same system. +zEW--WtYFGU-00279-00140781-00141277 >>So I would add a little bit on the state-of-the-art. +zEW--WtYFGU-00280-00141277-00141884 There are as a result of the stage to meaningful use criteria many criteria that get forward +zEW--WtYFGU-00281-00141884-00142079 regarding family history collection. +zEW--WtYFGU-00282-00142079-00142800 A variety of vendors looking at that and getting reassessed their capabilities in the commercial +zEW--WtYFGU-00283-00142800-00142900 EHR platforms. +zEW--WtYFGU-00284-00142900-00143466 There is a couple of features that I think will be difficult unless there is a governmental +zEW--WtYFGU-00285-00143466-00143653 effort to ensure it happens. +zEW--WtYFGU-00286-00143653-00144403 One is interoperability which is been a conundrum for all aspects of the EHR work. +zEW--WtYFGU-00287-00144403-00144691 But the other is the interpretation complement. +zEW--WtYFGU-00288-00144691-00145291 The vendors may and -- improve on the ability to gather structured or allow gathering of +zEW--WtYFGU-00289-00145291-00145946 structured family information they are unlikely to do much in the way of investments and validation +zEW--WtYFGU-00290-00145946-00146609 side of the way the data is collected, the user interface for example in terms of accuracy. +zEW--WtYFGU-00291-00146609-00147653 There -- they are also unlikely work on developing and validating interpretive +zEW--WtYFGU-00292-00147653-00148194 rules that would allow the clinician to make some clinical decisions and certainly I suspect +zEW--WtYFGU-00293-00148194-00148637 they are a long way off of thinking about how would genomic integrate with this. +zEW--WtYFGU-00294-00148637-00149227 This effort would stimulate some work along those lines with a little initial public investment. +zEW--WtYFGU-00295-00149227-00150291 >>I was going to ask whether it's possible to expand this to include a collaboration +zEW--WtYFGU-00296-00150291-00150573 with the VA? +zEW--WtYFGU-00297-00150573-00150790 Collaboration with the Department of Defense. +zEW--WtYFGU-00298-00150790-00151276 And whether SBIR as a venting mechanism might be thought up. +zEW--WtYFGU-00299-00151276-00152096 I am using electronic medical record right now and it's okay for collecting information. +zEW--WtYFGU-00300-00152096-00152388 It's quite [ Indiscernible ] to get the information in. +zEW--WtYFGU-00301-00152388-00152979 It will not generate a pedigree despite the fact there are perfectly good programs that +zEW--WtYFGU-00302-00152979-00153136 can do that. +zEW--WtYFGU-00303-00153136-00153626 Something that would encourage the vendors get their act together and to provide what +zEW--WtYFGU-00304-00153626-00154128 people need would be an important thing you guys could try to do. +zEW--WtYFGU-00305-00154128-00154355 >>We can reach out to those groups. +zEW--WtYFGU-00306-00154355-00154684 That is how we ended up with HRSA being involved. +zEW--WtYFGU-00307-00154684-00155478 They were working on work looking at pediatric settings and integrating family history information. +zEW--WtYFGU-00308-00155478-00155984 So they are interested in doing web -- and looking at what we are doing. +zEW--WtYFGU-00309-00155984-00156846 >>I think one of the things that is potentially likely to distinguish this approach from the +zEW--WtYFGU-00310-00156846-00157365 others that have been taken is a lot of them have been one-off operations where somebody +zEW--WtYFGU-00311-00157365-00158052 in their own silo develops a family history to rule that they think works well for them. +zEW--WtYFGU-00312-00158052-00158273 They put it out there. +zEW--WtYFGU-00313-00158273-00158665 And the history is there is not much adoption. +zEW--WtYFGU-00314-00158665-00158997 That is the history of family history tools. +zEW--WtYFGU-00315-00158997-00159541 And I think what I would hope comes out of this is something different because it's a +zEW--WtYFGU-00316-00159541-00160178 consortium and because there will be lots of four or five groups sitting around the +zEW--WtYFGU-00317-00160178-00160278 table thinking about this. +zEW--WtYFGU-00318-00160278-00160929 Ultimately doing their own thing by converging in the course of this that there might actually +zEW--WtYFGU-00319-00160929-00161351 be product that now gets more adoption. +zEW--WtYFGU-00320-00161351-00162003 I think that is the real thing I see is different here is to have a consortium that works together +zEW--WtYFGU-00321-00162003-00162260 on this. +zEW--WtYFGU-00322-00162260-00162852 I'm hopeful given the history that NHGRI has with his consortiums being successful in producing +zEW--WtYFGU-00323-00162852-00163583 good step that will be a key distinction in that this project would bring all the other +zEW--WtYFGU-00324-00163583-00164208 family history tool projects that a been out there have not been as successful because +zEW--WtYFGU-00325-00164208-00164607 they lack second social approach. +zEW--WtYFGU-00326-00164607-00165472 >>If you don't have epic [ Indiscernible ] at the table that I think it will follow the +zEW--WtYFGU-00327-00165472-00165899 same date that Rex has described. +zEW--WtYFGU-00328-00165899-00166879 These guys are very widespread and the electronic medical record I use because of my medical +zEW--WtYFGU-00329-00166879-00167423 center is epic. +zEW--WtYFGU-00330-00167423-00167944 Getting them to change anything is rather difficult. +zEW--WtYFGU-00331-00167944-00168383 >>I think it's an opportunity to have them at the table but it's likely

+zEW--WtYFGU-00380-00190251-00190730 So maybe you heard the answer from and CBI and they are limited in what they can get +zEW--WtYFGU-00381-00190730-00191088 or a lot of demographic information.

Caught In Coup, Panic As Trump Invokes ‘Presidential Powers’ +zEa_eyRP6jE-00001-00001308-00001652 Shocking developments are coming out of the White House as President Donald Trump just +zEa_eyRP6jE-00002-00001652-00002203 called the bluff of the DOJ and FBI swamp rats who inserted a spy into his 2016 campaign. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00003-00002203-00002693 Trump’s taken the kid gloves off as he demands Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and +zEa_eyRP6jE-00004-00002693-00003150 FBI Director Christopher Wray report to the Oval Office immediately for a showdown. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00005-00003150-00003417 He’s invoking his “presidential powers.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00006-00003417-00003853 Last week, the charade the Democrats and the leftist media have been touting since President +zEa_eyRP6jE-00007-00003853-00004321 Donald Trump was elected, that he colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 presidential +zEa_eyRP6jE-00008-00004321-00004489 election, ended. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00009-00004489-00004853 The New York Times and the Washington Post had to admit “certain entities at the DOJ +zEa_eyRP6jE-00010-00004853-00005182 and FBI had inserted an informant into the Trump campaign.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00011-00005182-00005530 Yeah, not an informant, a spy. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00012-00005530-00005978 But, the new plan was to give the leftist media time to sow a new but equally and utterly +zEa_eyRP6jE-00013-00005978-00006105 ridiculous narrative. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00014-00006105-00006447 It’s why the New York Times called the spy “an informant.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00015-00006447-00006872 It’s also why dirty rat former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said +zEa_eyRP6jE-00016-00006872-00007333 Monday that the FBI having an informant gather information on the Trump campaign is a “legitimate +zEa_eyRP6jE-00017-00007333-00007433 activity.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00018-00007433-00007898 For months, President Trump was advised by his lawyers to play it cool as Special Counsel +zEa_eyRP6jE-00019-00007898-00008184 Robert Mueller conducted a bogus investigation. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00020-00008184-00008685 If Trump appeared to squash the investigation too early, before the truth came out, it would +zEa_eyRP6jE-00021-00008685-00008937 be playing right into the swamp’s hands. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00022-00008937-00009398 But, as soon as the leftist media could no longer cover up the real crime of spying on +zEa_eyRP6jE-00023-00009398-00009840 the Trump campaign, the president was free to use his executive authority to annihilate +zEa_eyRP6jE-00024-00009840-00009954 his enemies. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00025-00009954-00010416 So, this morning, the president identified who was the mastermind behind the cabal to +zEa_eyRP6jE-00026-00010416-00010814 take him out: former CIA Director John Brennan. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00027-00010814-00011100 Brennan knows he’s cornered as the cabal has turned on him. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00028-00011100-00011598 So, he’s been threatening the president on TV and through numerous tweets for days. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00029-00011598-00012029 The president responded by citing a quote from former Secret Service agent Dan Bogino +zEa_eyRP6jE-00030-00012029-00012388 who has been covering the coup attempt on his radio show. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00031-00012388-00012635 Trump tweeted, “John Brennan is panicking. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00032-00012635-00013134 He has disgraced himself, he has disgraced the Country, he has disgraced the entire Intelligence +zEa_eyRP6jE-00033-00013134-00013247 Community. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00034-00013247-00013647 He is the one man who is largely responsible for the destruction of American’s faith +zEa_eyRP6jE-00035-00013647-00014004 in the Intelligence Community and in some people at the top of the FBI.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00036-00014004-00014462 In a series of tweets, the president continued, “Brennan started this entire debacle about +zEa_eyRP6jE-00037-00014462-00014604 President Trump. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00038-00014604-00015074 We now know that Brennan had detailed knowledge of the (phony) Dossier…he knows about the +zEa_eyRP6jE-00039-00015074-00015529 Dossier, he denies knowledge of the Dossier, he briefs the Gang of 8 on the Hill about +zEa_eyRP6jE-00040-00015529-00016006 the Dossier, which they then used to start an investigation about Trump.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00041-00016006-00016404 Continuing to quote Dan Bogino, Trump concluded, “It is that simple. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00042-00016404-00016658 This guy is the genesis of this whole Debacle. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00043-00016658-00017084 This was a Political hit job, this was not an Intelligence Investigation. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00044-00017084-00017445 Brennan has disgraced himself, he’s worried about staying out of Jail.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00045-00017445-00017977 Now, in shocking developments this afternoon, Trump is done with the shenanigans of the +zEa_eyRP6jE-00046-00017977-00018519 DOJ and FBI refusing to give Rep. Devin Nunes the unredacted classified files which will +zEa_eyRP6jE-00047-00018519-00018970 assuredly prove all of the cabal’s crimes against Trump, including the spying, who was +zEa_eyRP6jE-00048-00018970-00019252 involved, and who will be going to prison. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00049-00019252-00019744 So, Trump being Trump, free now that the truth is out in the press, just shocked the swamp +zEa_eyRP6jE-00050-00019744-00020057 by giving the DOJ and the FBI a call. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00051-00020057-00020434 We can imagine the phone call went something like this: “This is the President of the +zEa_eyRP6jE-00052-00020434-00020586 United States. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00053-00020586-00021079 Since you have left me no options, at 3 PM today you will appear in the Oval Office. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00054-00021079-00021339 At that time, I will be giving you orders. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00055-00021339-00021718 You will immediately follow those orders, or I will immediately have the Capitol Police +zEa_eyRP6jE-00056-00021718-00022023 remove you, place you in contempt, and lock you up.” +zEa_eyRP6jE-00057-00022023-00022195 Click. +zEa_eyRP6jE-00058-00022195-00022815 Trump reacted after Rep. Matt Gaetz, who works with Rep.

Australia policy was both an immigration policy and a nationalist doctrine which reflected +zYZ6KczoMCY-00001-00000460-00000927 Australia’s desire to maintain itself as a white, British nation. Its abolition in +zYZ6KczoMCY-00002-00000927-00001537 1973 created the conditions for the multicultural society Australia has become. Nevertheless, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00003-00001537-00001918 sporadic immigration controversies during the past two decades suggest the residual +zYZ6KczoMCY-00004-00001918-00002375 influence of this doctrine. Some commentators even claim that contemporary conflicts are +zYZ6KczoMCY-00005-00002375-00002752 the legacy of a reform process implemented by political leaders without the knowledge +zYZ6KczoMCY-00006-00002752-00003202 and consent of the Australian people. This article examines the factors and processes +zYZ6KczoMCY-00007-00003202-00003696 which compelled the dismantling of White Australia. It shows that assertions of an elite conspiracy +zYZ6KczoMCY-00008-00003696-00004089 to abolish it are exaggerated, failing to take into account the incrementalist nature +zYZ6KczoMCY-00009-00004089-00004605 of the public policy process in Australia and general public acceptance of policy reform. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00010-00004605-00005085 In 1973, Al Grassby, Immigration Minister in the Whitlam Labor government, travelled +zYZ6KczoMCY-00011-00005085-00005610 throughout Asia publicising his government’s important new reforms to immigration policy. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00012-00005610-00006005 During a press interview in the Philippines, he unequivocally rejected Australia’s long-standing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00013-00006005-00006389 White Australia policy which had aimed to severely restrict non-European immigration: +zYZ6KczoMCY-00014-00006389-00006793 ‘It is dead’, he declared, ‘give me a shovel and I will bury it’. Almost 30 +zYZ6KczoMCY-00015-00006793-00007284 years later, few people in Australia would seriously challenge the veracity of Grassby’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00016-00007284-00007828 claims. Since the mid-1970s, Asian immigration numbers have increased dramatically. Today, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00017-00007828-00008459 ap- proximately 39% of annual immigrant intakes is derived from the Asia region. Only a negligible +zYZ6KczoMCY-00018-00008459-00008917 minority have ever openly advocated a return to the days of White Australia. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00019-00008917-00009322 The dismantling of the policy does not mean, of course, that Asian immigration has ceased +zYZ6KczoMCY-00020-00009322-00009822 to be controversial. Its benefits have continued to be debated during the past two decades, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00021-00009822-00010342 sometimes with considerable acrimony. Interestingly, despite Grassby’s unequivocal declaration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00022-00010342-00010835 in 1973, the circumstances surrounding the abolition of White Australia have also become +zYZ6KczoMCY-00023-00010835-00011260 implicated in these debates, with advocates of lower immigration and lower Asian immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00024-00011260-00011728 criticising what they see as the ambiguous and secretive nature of the dismantling. Prominent +zYZ6KczoMCY-00025-00011728-00012181 anti-immigration campaigner and Federal MP Graeme Campbell tabled a paper in the Commonwealth +zYZ6KczoMCY-00026-00012181-00012722 parliament in October 1996 which he claimed every Australian should read. Written by another +zYZ6KczoMCY-00027-00012722-00013155 anti-immigration lobbyist, Denis McCormack, the paper purported to prove that ‘a long-range +zYZ6KczoMCY-00028-00013155-00013751 plan was nurtured by elites for the Asianisation of Australia’. That year also, Pauline Hanson, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00029-00013751-00014099 Independent member for the federal seat of Oxley in the House of Representatives, sparked +zYZ6KczoMCY-00030-00014099-00014533 a major public controversy with her outspoken attacks on Asian immigration, multiculturalism +zYZ6KczoMCY-00031-00014533-00015030 and Indigenous Australians. She too raised the spectre of an elite conspiracy surrounding +zYZ6KczoMCY-00032-00015030-00015408 the issue of Asian immigration, claiming that ‘for far too long Australians [had] been +zYZ6KczoMCY-00033-00015408-00015771 kept out of any debate [on immigration and multiculturalism]’ and that Australians +zYZ6KczoMCY-00034-00015771-00016036 were now ‘in danger of being swamped by Asians’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00035-00016036-00016511 It is not just the anti-immigration lobby which subscribes to the ‘reform by stealth’ +zYZ6KczoMCY-00036-00016511-00017061 thesis. In 2001, highly respected journalist Paul Kelly published 100 Years: The Story +zYZ6KczoMCY-00037-00017061-00017542 of Australia, a history of the Commonwealth since federation. In it, Kelly lauds the passing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00038-00017542-00017996 of the policy as necessary and just, but also refers to a conspiracy of silence surrounding +zYZ6KczoMCY-00039-00017996-00018387 its abolition. In his words: There was no public suggestion ... that the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00040-00018387-00018836 principles of immigration restriction were being removed ... The reason is manifest: +zYZ6KczoMCY-00041-00018836-00019301 any declaration that White Australia was being abolished would have provoked a public outcry. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00042-00019301-00019735 The issue was never put to the people ... The White Australia policy was dismantled by stealth +zYZ6KczoMCY-00043-00019735-00020257 and by a group of politicians and public servants who struck out ahead of community opinion. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00044-00020257-00020721 Claims that the White Australia policy was dismantled by stealth should be treated seriously. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00045-00020721-00021085 They raise questions about the strength of democracy in Australia, and the relationship +zYZ6KczoMCY-00046-00021085-00021514 between the country’s so-called elites and the general population. They challenge some +zYZ6KczoMCY-00047-00021514-00021958 of the principles that we have come to accept as fundamental features of Australian society, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00048-00021958-00022358 namely the growth of anti-racist sentiment after the Second World War and popular acceptance +zYZ6KczoMCY-00049-00022358-00022913 of non-European immigration. They also offer important insights into contemporary debates. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00050-00022913-00023260 For if the assertions are correct, there was no fundamental change of attitude towards +zYZ6KczoMCY-00051-00023260-00023815 Asians amongst Australians by the early 1970s, and resentment has been growing ever since. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00052-00023815-00024233 The roots of continuing sensitivity about non-European immigration lie, in essence, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00053-00024233-00024645 in the nature of the abolition of White Australia which removed racial discrimination from the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00054-00024645-00024988 statutes, but not from the hearts and minds of everyday people. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00055-00024988-00025342 There is a real need, then, to treat seriously the issue of the dismantling of the White +zYZ6KczoMCY-00056-00025342-00025719 Australia policy, and to come to terms with the factors and processes that brought it +zYZ6KczoMCY-00057-00025719-00026210 about. This is the aim of this article. It identifies the factors that compelled successive +zYZ6KczoMCY-00058-00026210-00026706 Australian governments to liberalise the policy. It examines the way in which diverse political +zYZ6KczoMCY-00059-00026706-00027063 leaders dealt with competing pressures on the policy, and the processes they set in +zYZ6KczoMCY-00060-00027063-00027527 place that brought it to an end. It considers the impact that these policy changes had on +zYZ6KczoMCY-00061-00027527-00027895 non-European immigration intakes and upon public opinion. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00062-00027895-00028258 It shows claims of an elite conspiracy to be exaggerated, failing to acknowledge the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00063-00028258-00028733 generally moderate, incrementalist nature of the public policy process in Australia. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00064-00028733-00029160 This model has been accurately described by scholars such as Emy and Hughes, drawing upon +zYZ6KczoMCY-00065-00029160-00029614 the theories of American social scientist Charles Lindblom. They argue that governance +zYZ6KczoMCY-00066-00029614-00030032 in a liberal-democratic polity like Australia is generally not a ‘precise and ordered +zYZ6KczoMCY-00067-00030032-00030551 activity’. Neither is it the responsibility of a coherent decision-making body. The Australian +zYZ6KczoMCY-00068-00030551-00030941 political system is pluralistic and fragmented, with governance ‘carried out in different +zYZ6KczoMCY-00069-00030941-00031381 arenas by a variety of political actors whose own values and goals often conflict as much +zYZ6KczoMCY-00070-00031381-00031902 as they coincide’. These may include bureaucrats, politicians, pressure groups and political +zYZ6KczoMCY-00071-00031902-00032389 parties. Public policy generally emerges in an ad hoc, incremental manner and is ‘a +zYZ6KczoMCY-00072-00032389-00032770 reactive rather than a forward looking process, worked out in response to events rather than +zYZ6KczoMCY-00073-00032770-00033190 in advance of them’. Whether incrementalism can completely account for the Australian +zYZ6KczoMCY-00074-00033190-00033697 public policy process is open to debate. It does, nevertheless, offer important insights +zYZ6KczoMCY-00075-00033697-00034142 into the dismantling of White Australia. The White Australia policy was established +zYZ6KczoMCY-00076-00034142-00034638 in 1901 in the form of a series of legislative and administrative measures aimed at severely +zYZ6KczoMCY-00077-00034638-00035030 restricting non-European immigration to Australia, the centrepiece of which was the Immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00078-00035030-00035488 Restriction Act. It was also a nationalist doctrine which embodied Australia’s desire +zYZ6KczoMCY-00079-00035488-00035973 to maintain itself as a white, British nation. During the period between federation and the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00080-00035973-00036478 onset of the Second World War, the policy enjoyed almost unquestioned popular support. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00081-00036478-00036883 Its durability reflected a number of deeply held beliefs and attitudes: racial arrogance +zYZ6KczoMCY-00082-00036883-00037378 and hostility inspired partly by the social-Darwinist assumptions of that era; a perception of national +zYZ6KczoMCY-00083-00037378-00037834 identity founded upon racial and cultural homogeneity; fear of invasion by external +zYZ6KczoMCY-00084-00037834-00038235 aggressors; and a strong social-liberal faith in the state’s ability to create a cohesive +zYZ6KczoMCY-00085-00038235-00038718 and prosperous society through a program of active intervention in civil society. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00086-00038718-00039084 After the Second World War, the Chifley Labor government remained ideologically committed +zYZ6KczoMCY-00087-00039084-00039643 to White Australia. Indeed, the establishment of a major immigration scheme in 1945 was +zYZ6KczoMCY-00088-00039643-00040057 at least partly motivated by concerns about Australia’s capacity to maintain sovereignty +zYZ6KczoMCY-00089-00040057-00040563 over the continent in the face of Asia’s overpopulation and its own declining numbers. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00090-00040563-00041010 Emerging domestic political factors also contributed to the government’s resolve regarding non-European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00091-00041010-00041484 entry. When the desired numbers of British migrants did not arrive, the immigration scheme +zYZ6KczoMCY-00092-00041484-00042111 was expanded in 1947 to include European migrants. The decision represented a significant departure +zYZ6KczoMCY-00093-00042111-00042526 from Australia’s traditional policy, and required careful handling by political leaders +zYZ6KczoMCY-00094-00042526-00043016 in order to minimise an electoral backlash. In such a climate, the White Australia policy +zYZ6KczoMCY-00095-00043016-00043458 remained an important symbol of the government’s fundamental commitment to maintaining Australia’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00096-00043458-00043877 racial and cultural homogeneity. To be seen to be tampering with it might jeopardise the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00097-00043877-00044290 immigration program as a whole. Despite the government’s intentions, the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00098-00044290-00044778 difficulties of maintaining the policy quickly became apparent. Overt discrimination against +zYZ6KczoMCY-00099-00044778-00045215 non-Europeans was becoming increasingly unacceptable in a world beginning to come to terms with +zYZ6KczoMCY-00100-00045215-00045675 the consequences of Nazi racial ideology, and where Asian and African nationalist independence +zYZ6KczoMCY-00101-00045675-00046183 movements were rejecting white colonial domination. The policy was at odds with Australia’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00102-00046183-00046704 attempts to strengthen economic and strategic ties in the Asia region after 1945. Growing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00103-00046704-00047090 numbers of non-European countries began to assert their displeasure at its offensive +zYZ6KczoMCY-00104-00047090-00047606 nature. The Chifley government’s harsh treatment of non-European wartime refugees in the late +zYZ6KczoMCY-00105-00047606-00048098 1940s spurred strong criticism in several Asian countries, including Malaya, Singapore, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00106-00048098-00048657 the Philippines, China and India. Within Australia, too, domestic criticism began to grow, spurred +zYZ6KczoMCY-00107-00048657-00049153 by the declining influence of racial determinist theories, and humanitarian and foreign policy +zYZ6KczoMCY-00108-00049153-00049627 considerations. Strong support was expressed for several non-Eu- ropean refugees threatened +zYZ6KczoMCY-00109-00049627-00050128 with deportation. Various groups and individuals began to lobby publicly for the introduction +zYZ6KczoMCY-00110-00050128-00050652 of an Asian quota system. Concerns also mounted over the inability of non-Europeans residing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00111-00050652-00051002 permanently in Australia to access citizenship rights. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00112-00051002-00051416 In response to increasing public and international unease, the newly elected Menzies Liberal +zYZ6KczoMCY-00113-00051416-00051977 government pledged in 1950 to administer the policy in a ‘more humane and liberal manner’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00114-00051977-00052352 Several subsequent administrative decisions allowed non-European immigration to increase +zYZ6KczoMCY-00115-00052352-00052901 slightly. These included the granting of permission in 1950 for approximately 800 Chinese wartime +zYZ6KczoMCY-00116-00052901-00053527 refugees to remain in Australia, and the removal of the ban on Japanese war-brides in 1952. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00117-00053527-00053945 Such reforms were designed to remove the most offensive features of Australian immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00118-00053945-00054376 policy without fundamentally altering the principle of social and racial homogeneity. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00119-00054376-00054907 Indeed, some aspects of policy were tightened considerably, as in the decision in 1950 to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00120-00054907-00055463 increase the 50% blood rule on ‘mixed race’ people to 75%. Menzies himself was a staunch +zYZ6KczoMCY-00121-00055463-00055824 supporter of White Australia, consistently asserting the nation’s right to build up +zYZ6KczoMCY-00122-00055824-00056248 a homogeneous population and avoid the creation of internal racial problems: ‘it is one +zYZ6KczoMCY-00123-00056248-00056626 of the attributes of sovereignty that any nation may determine for itself how far and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00124-00056626-00056986 on what principles other people may enter or become citizens’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00125-00056986-00057352 The Menzies government’s approach would quickly prove too timid and ad hoc to effectively +zYZ6KczoMCY-00126-00057352-00057870 counter the pressures mounting on non-European immigration policy. Fearful of enmeshing themselves +zYZ6KczoMCY-00127-00057870-00058279 in political controversy, political leaders continued to deny the necessity of reform +zYZ6KczoMCY-00128-00058279-00058649 and made no attempt to encourage a public debate on the issue, even as measures were +zYZ6KczoMCY-00129-00058649-00059124 underway within the Immigration Department to liberalise the policy further. There is +zYZ6KczoMCY-00130-00059124-00059535 evidence, too, of a general defensiveness about non-European entry rates into Australia, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00131-00059535-00060004 and even active dissembling as a means of avoiding domestic debate. As Markus and others +zYZ6KczoMCY-00132-00060004-00060413 have pointed out, precise figures during this period were notoriously difficult to obtain +zYZ6KczoMCY-00133-00060413-00060811 and probably never tabulated, apparently because the government preferred not to know, and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00134-00060811-00061263 did not want others to know either. A consequence of this obscurantist strategy was that the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00135-00061263-00061707 policy remained controversial, continuing to attract domestic and international criticism, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00136-00061707-00062113 while at the same time inspiring anxiety amongst White Australia’s supporters that the policy +zYZ6KczoMCY-00137-00062113-00062570 was being abolished by stealth. Ultimately, senior officials within the Immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00138-00062570-00063016 Department, including Secretary Tasman Heyes and Assistant Secretary Harold McGinness, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00139-00063016-00063473 precipitated the push for more substantive policy changes. Compelled by evidence that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00140-00063473-00063920 the reforms so far introduced had failed to quell public unease, they requested the Commonwealth +zYZ6KczoMCY-00141-00063920-00064470 Immigration Advisory Council (C I A C) in 1953 to review aspects of the policy governing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00142-00064470-00065002 the entry and stay of non-Europeans. The Council, constituted of politicians, bureaucrats and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00143-00065002-00065472 the leaders of peak organisations, had been formed in 1947 to advise the government on +zYZ6KczoMCY-00144-00065472-00065897 immigration matters, and had continued to meet regularly since that time. Amongst the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00145-00065897-00066339 issues the group was asked to examine was the particularly troublesome question of naturalisation +zYZ6KczoMCY-00146-00066339-00066697 of those Asian residents in Australia who were not subject to restrictions under the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00147-00066697-00067167 Immigration Act. The Council responded by forming a semi-permanent sub-committee ‘to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00148-00067167-00067619 report on the conditions of entry under the restricted immigration policy generally’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00149-00067619-00068097 By November 1953 the sub-committee had formally committed itself to a ‘review of conditions +zYZ6KczoMCY-00150-00068097-00068527 applicable to non-Europeans within the range of established policy’, an initiative supported +zYZ6KczoMCY-00151-00068527-00068943 by the Immigration Department. The involvement of the CIAC would set the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00152-00068943-00069425 standard for the process of policy reform over the next two decades. Reformers within +zYZ6KczoMCY-00153-00069425-00069894 the Immigration Department would prepare draft proposals for submission to Cabinet. Such +zYZ6KczoMCY-00154-00069894-00070331 proposals would first be referred to the Council for comment. The motivations for soliciting +zYZ6KczoMCY-00155-00070331-00070743 the C I A C’s assistance appeared to be primarily strategic—namely, the belief that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00156-00070743-00071132 positive recommendations from a committee constituted of the leaders of most major pressure +zYZ6KczoMCY-00157-00071132-00071567 groups would hold sway with a Cabinet consistently preoccupied with the political implications +zYZ6KczoMCY-00158-00071567-00072017 of its actions. The Council’s involvement in the abolition of White Australia likewise +zYZ6KczoMCY-00159-00072017-00072441 offers an interesting example of the influential role of pressure groups in the Australian +zYZ6KczoMCY-00160-00072441-00072910 political system. Some members were the leaders of organisations that remained staunchly supportive +zYZ6KczoMCY-00161-00072910-00073342 of the White Australia policy, for example the Returned Services League (R S L) and the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00162-00073342-00073842 trade union movement. Yet, afforded the opportunity to examine the issue from a national rather +zYZ6KczoMCY-00163-00073842-00074250 than vested interest perspective, most generally accepted the necessity for some limited type +zYZ6KczoMCY-00164-00074250-00074587 of reform. Immigration Department officials also made +zYZ6KczoMCY-00165-00074587-00075105 good a promise to consult with the Department of External Affairs over the proposed reforms. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00166-00075105-00075489 Officers within External Affairs had been requesting limited liberalisation since the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00167-00075489-00076022 1940s, compelled by evidence that the policy was harming Australian relations with Asia. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00168-00076022-00076383 While the reform objectives of both departments were not dramatically different, tensions +zYZ6KczoMCY-00169-00076383-00076870 were evident in their relationship. External Affairs resented what it saw as Immigration’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00170-00076870-00077386 failure to treat seriously the foreign-policy implications of its policies. Immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00171-00077386-00077758 officials, for their part, while sympathetic to the concerns of External Affairs, resented +zYZ6KczoMCY-00172-00077758-00078223 what they saw as attempts to encroach upon their own area of responsibility. These minor +zYZ6KczoMCY-00173-00078223-00078692 differences inhibited negotiations and occasion- ally spilled over into open disagreement over +zYZ6KczoMCY-00174-00078692-00079102 the scope and nature of reforms. • Despite the concerted efforts of senior +zYZ6KczoMCY-00175-00079102-00079551 bureaucrats and the CIAC, it would take almost three years to convince members of the Menzies +zYZ6KczoMCY-00176-00079551-00080101 government to agree to policy reform. Immigration Minister Harold Holt finally presented a series +zYZ6KczoMCY-00177-00080101-00080656 of proposals to Cabinet in July 1956. Two of the most significant recommendations for +zYZ6KczoMCY-00178-00080656-00081101 change included: provision for the entry of ‘distinguished’ or ‘highly qualified’ +zYZ6KczoMCY-00179-00081101-00081425 non-Europeans ‘under exemption’ for periods of seven years, but with the understanding +zYZ6KczoMCY-00180-00081425-00081663 that permission for their stay would continue to be granted; +zYZ6KczoMCY-00181-00081663-00082077 • the naturalisation of non-Europeans already permanently settled in Australia and not under +zYZ6KczoMCY-00182-00082077-00082494 immigration restrictions. In defence of his proposals, Holt insisted +zYZ6KczoMCY-00183-00082494-00082937 that they did not seek to depart from ‘the basic principle of previous policy’. He +zYZ6KczoMCY-00184-00082937-00083366 considered some revision necessary, nevertheless, on the grounds of administrative efficiency, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00185-00083366-00083957 good diplomacy and humanitarianism. The denial of naturalisation rights to long-term non-Europeans, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00186-00083957-00084367 he pointed out, achieved ‘no useful purpose’ and left the government open to charges of +zYZ6KczoMCY-00187-00084367-00084799 ‘sheer racial discrimination’. Provision to allow the entry of highly qualified and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00188-00084799-00085213 distinguished people was presented as an opportunity that ‘might be of advantage not only to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00189-00085213-00085712 Australia’s material and cultural development, but to our external relations with Asian countries’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00190-00085712-00086170 (Significantly, however, he conceded that the proposed reforms did not go as far as +zYZ6KczoMCY-00191-00086170-00086614 External Affairs’ officials had hoped they would.) Cabinet’s response was to ‘agree +zYZ6KczoMCY-00192-00086614-00087095 in principle that existing conditions of entry and stay of non-Europeans be modified’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00193-00087095-00087475 Less than a year later, the Menzies government agreed to extend the provisions for permanent +zYZ6KczoMCY-00194-00087475-00088014 residence and citizenship to long-term Asian residents still subject to immigration restrictions. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00195-00088014-00088524 The reforms of 1956–57 represented a moderate but nonetheless significant challenge to the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00196-00088524-00089037 White Australia policy. True, there remained strong disparities between the treatment of +zYZ6KczoMCY-00197-00089037-00089504 Europeans and non-Europeans in immigration policy. In a period when Australia was actively +zYZ6KczoMCY-00198-00089504-00089898 recruiting millions of migrants from Europe, many of them unskilled workers and from countries +zYZ6KczoMCY-00199-00089898-00090304 previously regarded as beyond the pale in cultural and racial terms, Asian migrants +zYZ6KczoMCY-00200-00090304-00090856 remained actively discouraged. Entry regulations were actually tightened for some groups, especially +zYZ6KczoMCY-00201-00090856-00091318 Chinese. Non-Europeans continued to suffer blatant injustices in relation to citizenship +zYZ6KczoMCY-00202-00091318-00091742 (non-Europeans were granted eligibility for citizenship after a 15-year period, while +zYZ6KczoMCY-00203-00091742-00092201 Europeans had to wait only five years). The limited scope of the provisions for entry +zYZ6KczoMCY-00204-00092201-00092604 for ‘highly distinguished’ Asians quickly became evident, very few entering Australia +zYZ6KczoMCY-00205-00092604-00093094 under that category during the next few years. However, for the first time in the history +zYZ6KczoMCY-00206-00093094-00093498 of the policy, the Australian government had publicly recognised that some non-European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00207-00093498-00093898 immigrants were permanently settled and should be allowed to enjoy the same social and political +zYZ6KczoMCY-00208-00093898-00094261 rights as other Australians. It is a measure of the significance of the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00209-00094261-00094639 changes that they were deemed potentially too damaging to publicise widely at the time +zYZ6KczoMCY-00210-00094639-00095186 they were introduced. Notes on the 1956 Cabinet submission from the Department of Prime Minister +zYZ6KczoMCY-00211-00095186-00095592 and Cabinet stated explicitly the expectation that ‘there should be no publicity given +zYZ6KczoMCY-00212-00095592-00096054 to the new requirements. While the decision to grant naturalisation to Asian residents +zYZ6KczoMCY-00213-00096054-00096520 without restrictions was announced, other aspects of the 1956 reforms were not, including +zYZ6KczoMCY-00214-00096520-00097018 the decision to allow entry to distinguished and highly qualified non-Europeans. The failure +zYZ6KczoMCY-00215-00097018-00097522 to publicise the 1957 reforms occurred despite express warnings from Immigration’s Assistant +zYZ6KczoMCY-00216-00097522-00097981 Secretary McGinness that such an action would leave the government vulnerable to criticism. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00217-00097981-00098492 The best evidence of the thinking behind the 1956–57 reforms lies in a confidential missive +zYZ6KczoMCY-00218-00098492-00099020 that Secretary Heyes sent to Immigration Minister Alexander Downer in 1959 regarding the entry +zYZ6KczoMCY-00219-00099020-00099493 of Asians for permanent residence. In it, Heyes made clear that the reforms were primarily +zYZ6KczoMCY-00220-00099493-00099876 a defensive strategy meant to protect the policy from further attack, not an attempt +zYZ6KczoMCY-00221-00099876-00100285 to undermine it completely. What has been done is to introduce—very +zYZ6KczoMCY-00222-00100285-00100868 gradually to ensure wide acceptance— measures to mitigate the rigours of the policy. ... However, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00223-00100868-00101205 except in the cases of the wives and children of Australians, we have not yet reached the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00224-00101205-00101763 stage ... of actually admitting Asians as migrants, ie. explicitly for permanent residence. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00225-00101763-00102210 We approached this stage very closely ... when Cabinet in 1956 approved the ad- mission of +zYZ6KczoMCY-00226-00102210-00102616 certain categories of distinguished and highly qualified Asians ‘for extended stay’ and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00227-00102616-00103089 ‘under certificate of exemption’. These quoted words very thinly veiled the Government’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00228-00103089-00103449 desire to be able to allow Asians to settle here permanently whose standing was such that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00229-00103449-00103822 rejection of their entry could cause outbursts of criticism....In line with this general +zYZ6KczoMCY-00230-00103822-00104276 trend of ‘modification by degrees’, this particular point of the 1956 Cabinet review +zYZ6KczoMCY-00231-00104276-00104859 ... was not given any publicity initially. The manoeuvres surrounding the 1956–57 reforms +zYZ6KczoMCY-00232-00104859-00105233 are the closest that political leaders came to wilfully misleading the Australian public +zYZ6KczoMCY-00233-00105233-00105726 on the issue of non-European immigration, spurred by fears of a political backlash. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00234-00105726-00106242 Such strategies were, however, quickly abandoned. Alexander Downer, who became Immigration Minister +zYZ6KczoMCY-00235-00106242-00106745 in 1958, indicated a greater willingness than his predecessors to discuss policy reform +zYZ6KczoMCY-00236-00106745-00107355 publicly. In an address to the Millions Club luncheon in July 1959 he referred openly to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00237-00107355-00107768 the 1956 decision to allow ‘highly distinguished’ Asians to settle in Australia—the first +zYZ6KczoMCY-00238-00107768-00108379 time the reform was publicised. He also oversaw the implementation of the 1958 Migration Act, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00239-00108379-00108773 which finally abolished the archaic ‘dictation test’ and enhanced the discretionary powers +zYZ6KczoMCY-00240-00108773-00109302 of the Minister for Immigration over policy decisions. These changes were openly publicised, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00241-00109302-00109716 and sparked little debate—testimony to the general consensus amongst the Australian public +zYZ6KczoMCY-00242-00109716-00110092 that abolition of the test and the introduction of more appropriate legislation were well +zYZ6KczoMCY-00243-00110092-00110507 overdue. The reforms of the 1950s allowed non-European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00244-00110507-00111069 immigration to increase slightly by the early 1960s. Overall rates of entry remained low, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00245-00111069-00111686 nevertheless, averaging at about 1500 per year by 1963. This, and the failure of the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00246-00111686-00112095 Menzies government actively to publicise the changes, meant that domestic and international +zYZ6KczoMCY-00247-00112095-00112616 pressure continued to build during the following decade. Public opinion polls ‘swung significantly +zYZ6KczoMCY-00248-00112616-00113232 in favour’ of the admission of some Asian settlers between 1957 and 1965. Anti-White +zYZ6KczoMCY-00249-00113232-00113680 Australia organisations such as the Immigration Reform Group, the State-based Immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00250-00113680-00114246 Reform Associations and Student Action began to mobilise, centred in Australian universities. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00251-00114246-00114630 There was evidence of changing attitudes within the major political parties, especially the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00252-00114630-00115190 Australian Labor Party. Diplomatic pressure also continued throughout the 1960s, culminating +zYZ6KczoMCY-00253-00115190-00115589 in a series of controversial cases in the middle of the decade involving Australia’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00254-00115589-00116123 refusal to grant permanent entry to particular non-European individuals. Such cases did little +zYZ6KczoMCY-00255-00116123-00116632 to advance the country’s reputation in the Asia region. When a young Filipino named Aurelio +zYZ6KczoMCY-00256-00116632-00117111 Locsin was denied settlement rights in 1964, relations with the Philippines were further +zYZ6KczoMCY-00257-00117111-00117547 damaged, the Manila Times likening Australia’s immigration policies to the apartheid policies +zYZ6KczoMCY-00258-00117547-00117952 of South Africa and Rhodesia. Ultimately, these combined pressures would +zYZ6KczoMCY-00259-00117952-00118526 lead to more substantive policy reforms in 1966. The combined efforts of two individuals +zYZ6KczoMCY-00260-00118526-00119011 would play a key role in achieving these changes—Peter Heydon, Secretary of the Immigration Department +zYZ6KczoMCY-00261-00119011-00119645 between 1961 and 1971, and Hubert Opperman, Minister for Immigration between 1963 and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00262-00119645-00120170 1967. Heydon was a career public servant who had served the Department of External Affairs +zYZ6KczoMCY-00263-00120170-00120594 in a number of capacities since the 1930s, and who had witnessed first hand the damage +zYZ6KczoMCY-00264-00120594-00121085 the policy was doing to Australia’s international reputation. Opperman was a well-respected +zYZ6KczoMCY-00265-00121085-00121661 Olympic cycling champion who had entered federal parliament in 1949. Both men were fundamentally +zYZ6KczoMCY-00266-00121661-00122126 committed to the principle of maintaining Australia’s ‘social homogeneity’. They +zYZ6KczoMCY-00267-00122126-00122629 believed, however, that further liberalisation of non-European policy was necessary on practical, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00268-00122629-00123014 humanitarian and foreign policy grounds, and that a greater measure of Asian immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00269-00123014-00123361 could be accommodated without altering the fundamental composition of the Australian +zYZ6KczoMCY-00270-00123361-00123816 people. As Heydon noted in his diary: The intention is not to alter our traditional +zYZ6KczoMCY-00271-00123816-00124222 idea of a socially homogenous Australia, but it will give the Minister authority to admit +zYZ6KczoMCY-00272-00124222-00124603 non-Europeans on a selective basis ... it will probably mean the admission of a small +zYZ6KczoMCY-00273-00124603-00124954 but steadily increasing number of Asians ... but it should mean that they are of reasonably +zYZ6KczoMCY-00274-00124954-00125307 good quality and capable of integration in the Australian community. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00275-00125307-00125740 A first attempt by Heydon and Opperman to win Cabinet approval for immigration reform +zYZ6KczoMCY-00276-00125740-00126201 was only partly successful, largely, it seems, because of Menzies’ resistance to the proposals +zYZ6KczoMCY-00277-00126201-00126610 and the unwillingness of senior Cabinet members, including Harold Holt, to openly challenge +zYZ6KczoMCY-00278-00126610-00127186 their Prime Minister by supporting the changes. It was Menzies’ retirement in 1966, and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00279-00127186-00127533 Holt’s assumption of the leadership, that were catalysts for important policy changes +zYZ6KczoMCY-00280-00127533-00128063 that year. The new Prime Minister was keen to assert his own distinct leadership style. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00281-00128063-00128554 He also wanted to make his mark in the area of foreign policy, especially Australia–Asia +zYZ6KczoMCY-00282-00128554-00129008 relations. Reforming the White Australia policy appeared an ideal vehicle for achieving these +zYZ6KczoMCY-00283-00129008-00129290 goals. With Holt’s approval, Opperman presented +zYZ6KczoMCY-00284-00129290-00129961 a new submission to Cabinet on 2 March 1966. His main recommendations included that: +zYZ6KczoMCY-00285-00129961-00130296 non-Europeans should be eligible for admission in limited numbers as immigrants with permanent +zYZ6KczoMCY-00286-00130296-00130551 residence status, their selection being dependent upon: +zYZ6KczoMCY-00287-00130551-00130925 (a) their being assessed as suitable as settlers and as capable of ready integration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00288-00130925-00131251 into the Australian community; (b) their having knowledge, experience or +zYZ6KczoMCY-00289-00131251-00131641 qualifications useful to Australia; (c) their ability to make a contribution +zYZ6KczoMCY-00290-00131641-00131989 to Australia’s economic, social and cultural progress; +zYZ6KczoMCY-00291-00131989-00132352 non-Europeans already admitted with temporary status should be eligible to qualify for permanent +zYZ6KczoMCY-00292-00132352-00132760 residence status and citizenship after five years’ residence. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00293-00132760-00133124 Apparently assured that no fundamental change of policy was intended, the Holt government +zYZ6KczoMCY-00294-00133124-00133653 decided to agree ‘in broad terms’ to Opperman’s proposals. His recommendations were then presented +zYZ6KczoMCY-00295-00133653-00134026 and discussed in the federal parliament—the first major debate to be conducted on White +zYZ6KczoMCY-00296-00134026-00134567 Australia since the policy was introduced in 1901. The changes were unanimously endorsed +zYZ6KczoMCY-00297-00134567-00135309 by the parliament on 29 March 1966. Such consensus is not surprising. Opperman and senior bureaucrats +zYZ6KczoMCY-00298-00135309-00135753 had conducted intense negotiations with the ALP, the CIAC and the leaders of all major +zYZ6KczoMCY-00299-00135753-00136138 pressure groups, before submitting the proposals to Cabinet and then parliament, in order to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00300-00136138-00136635 ensure that political controversy was avoided. Most of the available evidence indicates that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00301-00136635-00137113 the Holt government did not intend to dismantle the White Australia policy. Wide disparities +zYZ6KczoMCY-00302-00137113-00137552 remained between non-European and European immigration policies. The government did not +zYZ6KczoMCY-00303-00137552-00138013 attempt to establish Australian immigration offices in Asian countries or offer assisted +zYZ6KczoMCY-00304-00138013-00138462 passages to non-European immigrants. It did not offer an unequivocal renunciation of the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00305-00138462-00138918 ‘established policy’. During a period when it was still actively pursuing low-skilled +zYZ6KczoMCY-00306-00138918-00139326 immigrants from Europe, only ‘well-qualified’ non-Europeans and those of particular value +zYZ6KczoMCY-00307-00139326-00139870 to Australia would be allowed to enter. The 1966 policy amendments were significant +zYZ6KczoMCY-00308-00139870-00140313 nevertheless. The changes to citizenship and permanent residence status were important, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00309-00140313-00140802 finally giving non-Europeans social and political parity with European immigrants. The parameters +zYZ6KczoMCY-00310-00140802-00141284 for settlement had widened, despite the continuing emphasis on those with superior qualities. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00311-00141284-00141728 More significantly, government officials had consciously introduced an unprecedented degree +zYZ6KczoMCY-00312-00141728-00142195 of openness and flexibility into non-European immigration policy, partly to appease domestic +zYZ6KczoMCY-00313-00142195-00142684 and international criticism but also to ‘test’ what sort of demand for entry existed amongst +zYZ6KczoMCY-00314-00142684-00143044 non-Europeans, and what sort of numbers Australians were prepared to tolerate—a strategy summed +zYZ6KczoMCY-00315-00143044-00143379 up by Peter Heydon in terms of a ‘controlled experiment’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00316-00143379-00143977 The 1966 policy changes paved the way for increased non-European immigration to Australia. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00317-00143977-00144556 By the end of the first year of the new policy, on 30 June 1967, about 2000 non-Europeans +zYZ6KczoMCY-00318-00144556-00145076 and 3000 people of mixed descent had settled. This represented a significant but not alarming +zYZ6KczoMCY-00319-00145076-00145624 increase in Asian immigration. Asian sensitivities appeared partially mollified by the changes. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00320-00145624-00146012 Satisfied that there would be no strong public opposition, the Holt government agreed in +zYZ6KczoMCY-00321-00146012-00146497 1967 to liberalise the policy further, allowing the number of ‘mixed descent’ and well-qualified +zYZ6KczoMCY-00322-00146497-00147044 non-Europeans permitted to settle to increase marginally. The reviews of 1967 allowed for +zYZ6KczoMCY-00323-00147044-00147552 a significant expansion of numbers over the next few years. Markus shows that non-European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00324-00147552-00148499 and part-European immigration increased from 7381 in 1968 to 9666 in 1971. According to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00325-00148499-00148865 the Immigration Reform Group, ‘much the largest number of non-Europeans’ admitted +zYZ6KczoMCY-00326-00148865-00149254 during that period fell within the category of ‘well-qualified’ and their dependants, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00327-00149254-00149641 as outlined by Opperman in his 1966 policy amendments. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00328-00149641-00150086 Still, distinctions remained between the selection and treatment of European and non-European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00329-00150086-00150537 applicants seeking to migrate. Australian governments had still not officially renounced +zYZ6KczoMCY-00330-00150537-00151057 racial discrimination in immigration policy. Consequently, domestic criticism continued +zYZ6KczoMCY-00331-00151057-00151674 during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Opponents of the policy claimed that the reform process +zYZ6KczoMCY-00332-00151674-00152151 had not gone far enough. In contrast, White Australia’s traditional supporters urged +zYZ6KczoMCY-00333-00152151-00152612 the government not to go any further with the reform process. A significant development +zYZ6KczoMCY-00334-00152612-00153113 in the late 1960s was the formation of the Immigration Control Association (I C A), an +zYZ6KczoMCY-00335-00153113-00153513 extremist movement dedicated to challenging the expansion of non-European immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00336-00153513-00153964 since 1966. Australian immigration policy also continued +zYZ6KczoMCY-00337-00153964-00154447 to overshadow diplomatic relations. Overt attacks from Asian countries subsided somewhat +zYZ6KczoMCY-00338-00154447-00155057 after 1966. However, Australia remained vulnerable to occasional public criticism from Asian +zYZ6KczoMCY-00339-00155057-00155564 leaders. The Japanese Ambassador Shizuo Saito, for example, openly condemned Australia’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00340-00155564-00156188 immigration policy in 1971 in his book Australian Dispatches. Significantly, the policy also +zYZ6KczoMCY-00341-00156188-00156584 began to affect relations with traditional allies such as the United States, Britain +zYZ6KczoMCY-00342-00156584-00157021 and New Zealand, all of which had multiracial societies and could not be expected to support +zYZ6KczoMCY-00343-00157021-00157434 a policy which effectively discriminated against their own citizens. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00344-00157434-00157791 Throughout this period, successive Australian governments attempted to maintain the practice +zYZ6KczoMCY-00345-00157791-00158372 of not actively publicising non-European immigration numbers unless it was deemed absolutely necessary. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00346-00158372-00158863 They also continued to publicly urge adherence to the principle of social homogeneity. On +zYZ6KczoMCY-00347-00158863-00159292 the other hand, continuing domestic and international criticism meant they were constantly required +zYZ6KczoMCY-00348-00159292-00159691 to highlight the significant liberalisations which had taken place. Most notable was the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00349-00159691-00160225 release of a pamphlet by the Immigration Department in 1971, entitled Evolution of a Policy, which +zYZ6KczoMCY-00350-00160225-00160639 openly stated for the first time the extent to which non-European immigration had increased +zYZ6KczoMCY-00351-00160639-00161051 since 1966. Ultimately, it was the ALP which introduced +zYZ6KczoMCY-00352-00161051-00161597 the last important phase of the dismantling of White Australia. In 1965 Whitlam and other +zYZ6KczoMCY-00353-00161597-00161984 Labor progressives had convinced their party’s old guard to drop reference to the policy +zYZ6KczoMCY-00354-00161984-00162562 in the party platform. After assuming leadership of the party in 1966, Whitlam consistently +zYZ6KczoMCY-00355-00162562-00162975 made clear his intention to abolish the policy completely, linking the issue to his much +zYZ6KczoMCY-00356-00162975-00163472 broader aim to modernise Australia. He described as ‘odious’ and ‘indefensible’ the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00357-00163472-00163829 argument that valuable workers might not be accepted into Australia just because they +zYZ6KczoMCY-00358-00163829-00164204 were Asian: ‘If a man or a woman has the skills which are welcome in Australia—the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00359-00164204-00164663 last thing we should have in mind is what race he or she is.’ Initially, he pledged +zYZ6KczoMCY-00360-00164663-00165096 publicly that under a Labor government Australia would see ‘more Asian migration’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00361-00165096-00165545 Whitlam’s reform agenda was staunchly resisted by segments of the ALP, including former leader +zYZ6KczoMCY-00362-00165545-00166062 Arthur Calwell and immigration spokesperson Fred Daly. He succeeded nevertheless, in having +zYZ6KczoMCY-00363-00166062-00166514 a motion passed at the party’s 1971 Federal Conference calling for the ‘avoidance of +zYZ6KczoMCY-00364-00166514-00167022 discrimination on any grounds of race or colour of skin or nationality’. The McMahon Coalition +zYZ6KczoMCY-00365-00167022-00167469 government clearly considered politicising the issue. Immigration Minister A.J. Forbes +zYZ6KczoMCY-00366-00167469-00167863 publicly criticised Whitlam’s proposals on a number of occasions, warning that Labor +zYZ6KczoMCY-00367-00167863-00168270 intended to end the political bipartisanship which had traditionally existed in relation +zYZ6KczoMCY-00368-00168270-00168748 to immigration policy and that it would ‘bring more coloured and fewer whites to Australia’. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00369-00168748-00169198 Prime Minister McMahon openly declared his belief in 1972 that immigration would be a +zYZ6KczoMCY-00370-00169198-00169560 ‘very important issue’ at the next federal election. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00371-00169560-00169933 Criticisms of the ALP were justified in part, given its failure to spell out precisely what +zYZ6KczoMCY-00372-00169933-00170496 the effects would be of removing racial discrimination in immigration policy. Nevertheless, in contrast +zYZ6KczoMCY-00373-00170496-00170866 to the Coalition government, the party was offering a more decisive declaration of its +zYZ6KczoMCY-00374-00170866-00171334 intentions and promising to break the political deadlock on the issue. Claims that it intended +zYZ6KczoMCY-00375-00171334-00171805 a radical shift in immigration policy were also greatly exaggerated. While stressing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00376-00171805-00172278 the importance of abolishing racial discrimination in public policy, Whitlam continued to assert +zYZ6KczoMCY-00377-00172278-00172679 that such an objective could be reconciled with a responsibly managed immigration program +zYZ6KczoMCY-00378-00172679-00173275 based on Australia’s economic and social needs. In fact, by 1972 he was openly stating +zYZ6KczoMCY-00379-00173275-00173695 that because of changing economic circumstances, immigration levels under his government would +zYZ6KczoMCY-00380-00173695-00174184 decrease and, as a consequence, Asian immigration would probably decrease as well. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00381-00174184-00174539 Despite threats by the Liberal Party, the White Australia issue did not feature strongly +zYZ6KczoMCY-00382-00174539-00175008 in the 1972 election campaign, reinforcing its relatively secondary importance among +zYZ6KczoMCY-00383-00175008-00175447 the popular concerns of the day. The decision of the McMahon government not to pursue the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00384-00175447-00175840 matter also offered implicit acknowledgement that elite opinion generally, if not popular +zYZ6KczoMCY-00385-00175840-00176323 opinion, would not tolerate any attempt to make political capital out of racial issues. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00386-00176323-00176787 The victory of the ALP was decisive, if not spectacular. It vindicated Whitlam’s confident +zYZ6KczoMCY-00387-00176787-00177157 rejection of White Australia, and his faith that the Australian people would support his +zYZ6KczoMCY-00388-00177157-00177615 position if they could be persuaded that such actions would not harm the national interest. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00389-00177615-00177996 In any case, the scene was now set for the abolition of the remaining vestiges of overt +zYZ6KczoMCY-00390-00177996-00178474 discrimination against Asian would-be immigrants. The changes introduced included provision +zYZ6KczoMCY-00391-00178474-00178967 of access to assisted passage for non-Europeans, measures to allow all migrants access to citizenship +zYZ6KczoMCY-00392-00178967-00179427 after three years, the introduction of a simplified visa system, liberalisation of regulations +zYZ6KczoMCY-00393-00179427-00179814 pertaining to overseas students who wanted to remain in Australia, and the abolition +zYZ6KczoMCY-00394-00179814-00180384 of race statistics and special records for non-Europeans. In 1975 the Whitlam government +zYZ6KczoMCY-00395-00180384-00180783 also introduced the Racial Discrimination Act, which made it unlawful for a person to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00396-00180783-00181210 discriminate against others on the grounds of race, colour, descent or national or ethnic +zYZ6KczoMCY-00397-00181210-00181749 origins. As expected, these changes did not lead to any immediate increase in non-European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00398-00181749-00182288 immigration. Mackie points out that ‘prior to 1976, the overall level of intake of Asians +zYZ6KczoMCY-00399-00182288-00182710 and part-Asians did not exceed 10,000 per annum in any year, although it was not far +zYZ6KczoMCY-00400-00182710-00183165 below it on several occasions’. The stable numbers were due mainly to the cuts incurred +zYZ6KczoMCY-00401-00183165-00183834 to the immigration program during the 1972–75 period because of declining economic conditions. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00402-00183834-00184233 Did the Whitlam reforms have the support of the Australian people? Public opinion polls +zYZ6KczoMCY-00403-00184233-00184880 in 1974 and 1975 showed that a significant 32–36% of respondents believed the number +zYZ6KczoMCY-00404-00184880-00185362 of Asian migrants to Australia was ‘too many’. The ICA continued its anti-immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00405-00185362-00185815 activities well into the early 1980s and played a key role in the racist campaign against +zYZ6KczoMCY-00406-00185815-00186334 Grassby during the 1974 federal election which resulted in the minister’s loss of his Riverina +zYZ6KczoMCY-00407-00186334-00186889 seat. A number of other anti-immigration movements also sprang up during the mid-to-late 1970s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00408-00186889-00187326 as non-European intakes increased, including the National Front of Australia (N F A) and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00409-00187326-00187796 the Australian National Alliance (A N A). Significantly, even some of the staunchest +zYZ6KczoMCY-00410-00187796-00188350 opponents of the White Australia policy were not entirely satisfied with the Whitlam reforms. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00411-00188350-00188876 In 1973, the New South Wales Association for Immigration Reform (N S W A I R), which had +zYZ6KczoMCY-00412-00188876-00189348 been lobbying for greater justice for non-Europeans since the early 1960s, questioned a clause +zYZ6KczoMCY-00413-00189348-00189755 within the proposed Racial Discrimination Bill seeking to prohibit ‘incitement to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00414-00189755-00190165 racial discrimination’. The proposal, it claimed, threatened to restrict free speech +zYZ6KczoMCY-00415-00190165-00190719 concerning racial issues, and would inhibit discussion of immigration reform. In a 1975 +zYZ6KczoMCY-00416-00190719-00191136 publication, the Immigration Reform Group expressed concerns that the complete abolition +zYZ6KczoMCY-00417-00191136-00191553 of racial differentiation in immigration statistics would reduce the government’s ability to +zYZ6KczoMCY-00418-00191553-00192060 effectively balance the occupational components of any non-white intake. It also highlighted +zYZ6KczoMCY-00419-00192060-00192534 several other areas where further policy reform was needed, for example, regulations regarding +zYZ6KczoMCY-00420-00192534-00192937 the entry of overseas students, and the need for a more sympathetic response by Australia +zYZ6KczoMCY-00421-00192937-00193386 towards Vietnamese refugees. There is no doubt, nevertheless, that a majority +zYZ6KczoMCY-00422-00193386-00193863 of people accepted the abolition of White Australia. Despite the loss of Grassby’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00423-00193863-00194182 federal seat and its being returned with a reduced majority, the Whitlam government’s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00424-00194182-00194689 victory at the 1974 election represented effective popular endorsement of its broad political +zYZ6KczoMCY-00425-00194689-00195272 agenda, including the changes to immigration policy. Price noted in 1979 that the public +zYZ6KczoMCY-00426-00195272-00195669 appeared to have accepted higher non-European immigration with ‘relatively little hostility +zYZ6KczoMCY-00427-00195669-00196249 or fuss’. Public opinion polls also suggested general support. According to Goot, the ‘polls +zYZ6KczoMCY-00428-00196249-00196796 of 1974 and 1975 were the first of their kind to produce clear majorities in favour of the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00429-00196796-00197198 current rate of Asian immigration’ with about 60% of people in favour of the number +zYZ6KczoMCY-00430-00197198-00197717 coming or more. As he points out, there is a need to treat opinion poll findings cautiously, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00431-00197717-00198092 the results of which are contingent upon a variety of factors, including the context +zYZ6KczoMCY-00432-00198092-00198615 in which polls are conducted, and the precise wording of questions put to respondents. Still, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00433-00198615-00198992 one cannot dismiss their significance in the context of a series of reforms which had been +zYZ6KczoMCY-00434-00198992-00199405 openly debated over the previous decade, and which the Whitlam government had made no attempt +zYZ6KczoMCY-00435-00199405-00199762 to hide. This point is given further emphasis by developments +zYZ6KczoMCY-00436-00199762-00200466 that unfolded in the late 1970s. Goot suggests that the favourable polls of 1974 and 1975 +zYZ6KczoMCY-00437-00200466-00200851 that produced clear majorities in favour of current rates of Asian immigration were also +zYZ6KczoMCY-00438-00200851-00201433 the last to do so. Support for Asian immigration levels would begin to drop from the late 1970s +zYZ6KczoMCY-00439-00201433-00201829 onwards and, apart from occasional significant increases, would never again reach the levels +zYZ6KczoMCY-00440-00201829-00202436 of popular support of the mid-1970s. The early 1980s would see the first of three major debates +zYZ6KczoMCY-00441-00202436-00202935 initiated by critics of Asian immigration. Significantly, however, these developments +zYZ6KczoMCY-00442-00202935-00203347 would occur in very different circumstances from those in which the Whitlam reforms were +zYZ6KczoMCY-00443-00203347-00203792 implemented. Too complex to discuss in any detail here, they can nevertheless be summarised +zYZ6KczoMCY-00444-00203792-00204295 as a reaction to the significant influx of Indo-Chinese refugees from the late 1970s; +zYZ6KczoMCY-00445-00204295-00204725 unease about Australia’s developing multicultural policies; declining support for immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00446-00204725-00205153 of any kind in a period of continuing economic insecurity; and opposition to what to many +zYZ6KczoMCY-00447-00205153-00205751 looked like escalating Asian immigration intakes between the late 1970s and mid-1990s. There +zYZ6KczoMCY-00448-00205751-00206117 is no doubt that residual loyalties to the White Australia doctrine were a contributing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00449-00206117-00206526 factor to these controversies, with concerns expressed by some groups and individuals that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00450-00206526-00206983 Anglo-Australian ethnic dominance was being threatened. Yet much of the available evidence +zYZ6KczoMCY-00451-00206983-00207490 suggests significant discontinuities between the policies and attitudes of the early 1970s, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00452-00207490-00207966 and what followed. Most notably, apart from the demands of an extremist minority, and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00453-00207966-00208407 even when support for current Asian intakes has been at its lowest in the past two decades, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00454-00208407-00208801 there has been no evidence to suggest a desire by Australians for a wholesale return to the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00455-00208801-00209198 days of White Australia. The White Australia policy was abolished because +zYZ6KczoMCY-00456-00209198-00209748 of mounting international and domestic pressures after 1945. International pressures emerged +zYZ6KczoMCY-00457-00209748-00210210 out of a changing global order and changing Australian foreign-policy objectives, most +zYZ6KczoMCY-00458-00210210-00210612 significantly the nation’s increasing engagement with Asia in trade, diplomatic, and strategic +zYZ6KczoMCY-00459-00210612-00211300 terms. As regional criticism of racial discrimination mounted between 1945 and 1973, and as the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00460-00211300-00211734 United States and Canada relaxed their immigration restrictions, Australian governments had no +zYZ6KczoMCY-00461-00211734-00212275 choice but to gradually liberalise their policies. Increasing domestic opposition to White Australia +zYZ6KczoMCY-00462-00212275-00212709 also played an important role, motivated by changing values and increasing awareness of +zYZ6KczoMCY-00463-00212709-00213216 Asia. Various sections of the community responded sympathetically to the perceived harsh handling +zYZ6KczoMCY-00464-00213216-00213783 of individual non-Europeans by the Immigration Department. By the late 1950s, public opinion +zYZ6KczoMCY-00465-00213783-00214160 polls suggested that a majority of people were prepared to accept a limited measure +zYZ6KczoMCY-00466-00214160-00214673 of Asian immigration. This support was generally sustained throughout the next decade. Active +zYZ6KczoMCY-00467-00214673-00215096 political pressure on the government to liberalise the policy was also applied from this time +zYZ6KczoMCY-00468-00215096-00215503 on, mainly from the universities and amongst the young, educated, middle-class professionals +zYZ6KczoMCY-00469-00215503-00216003 who were moving into positions of public authority. Inclined for years to ignore domestic pressure +zYZ6KczoMCY-00470-00216003-00216448 as the work of politically ineffective fringe elements, governments by the late 1960s and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00471-00216448-00216890 early 1970s were forced to recognise that opposition to the policy was now emanating +zYZ6KczoMCY-00472-00216890-00217317 from the very centres of power. The dismantling of White Australia took place +zYZ6KczoMCY-00473-00217317-00217844 over a period of almost two-and- a-half decades, beginning in the early 1950s with minor administrative +zYZ6KczoMCY-00474-00217844-00218365 changes directed at easing some of the difficulties the policy caused for select individuals. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00475-00218365-00218767 Other policy reforms during the decade had more wide-reaching consequences, such as the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00476-00218767-00219463 decisions in 1956 and 1957 to make citizenship available to non-Europeans not born in Australia. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00477-00219463-00219998 The policy reforms of the 1966–73 period represented the most decisive blows to the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00478-00219998-00220584 White Australia policy and finally brought it to an end. The 1966–67 changes broadened +zYZ6KczoMCY-00479-00220584-00221025 considerably the eligibility criteria for non-European entry into Australia, provided +zYZ6KczoMCY-00480-00221025-00221498 a measure of parity in the treatment of non-European and European migrants, and allowed Asian immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00481-00221498-00221982 numbers to increase significantly. More fundamentally, they signalled an important break from the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00482-00221982-00222413 racial paradigms which had traditionally shaped immigration policy, acknowledging that skills +zYZ6KczoMCY-00483-00222413-00222827 and education, not race, were an appropriate measure of a person’s capacity to contribute +zYZ6KczoMCY-00484-00222827-00223308 to national life. Still, these changes were not intended to fundamentally alter the racial +zYZ6KczoMCY-00485-00223308-00223739 and cultural character of Australia, and did not remove all of the inequities between European +zYZ6KczoMCY-00486-00223739-00224203 and non-European immigrants. Nor did the Holt Coalition government unequivocally renounce +zYZ6KczoMCY-00487-00224203-00224683 racial discrimination in immigration policy. It was left to the Whitlam Labor government +zYZ6KczoMCY-00488-00224683-00225146 to enact the final phase of the dismantling, which it did in 1973 when it removed most +zYZ6KczoMCY-00489-00225146-00225608 vestiges of overt discrimination against non-Europeans and declared to the world that the White Australia +zYZ6KczoMCY-00490-00225608-00226002 policy was dead. The processes identified here did not constitute +zYZ6KczoMCY-00491-00226002-00226557 an elite conspiracy to dismantle White Australia. Such claims assume an autonomy amongst policy +zYZ6KczoMCY-00492-00226557-00227023 makers, and a clarity of objectives, that did not really exist. A decisive response +zYZ6KczoMCY-00493-00227023-00227436 by governments to international and domestic criticism of the policy, irrespective of what +zYZ6KczoMCY-00494-00227436-00227887 popular opinion demanded, would have significantly decreased the damage done to Australian interests +zYZ6KczoMCY-00495-00227887-00228482 during the 1950s and 1960s. The failure to act reflected both the unwillingness and inability +zYZ6KczoMCY-00496-00228482-00228979 of political leaders to do so. The diffuse, pluralistic character of Australia’s political +zYZ6KczoMCY-00497-00228979-00229434 system inhibited the capacity of officials to summarily introduce important changes. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00498-00229434-00229851 Each step of the reform process was taken hesitantly by bureaucrats and politicians, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00499-00229851-00230242 with an eye to the potential responses of various other political actors, including +zYZ6KczoMCY-00500-00230242-00230715 pressure groups, the media and political parties. While governments did suppress information +zYZ6KczoMCY-00501-00230715-00231233 on some reforms—the 1956– 57 changes in particular—and publicised them only when +zYZ6KczoMCY-00502-00231233-00231667 they had to, the threat of a political backlash if secret reforms were exposed generally dissuaded +zYZ6KczoMCY-00503-00231667-00232038 politicians from keeping developments from the public, or implementing anything other +zYZ6KczoMCY-00504-00232038-00232621 than the most moderate reforms. The reforms of the late 1960s and early 1970s occurred +zYZ6KczoMCY-00505-00232621-00233019 in the context of an ongoing public debate on immigration reform, and political leaders +zYZ6KczoMCY-00506-00233019-00233489 were open about the changes they introduced. Assertions about an elite conspiracy also +zYZ6KczoMCY-00507-00233489-00233907 overestimate the level of consensus that existed amongst Australia’s political leaders about +zYZ6KczoMCY-00508-00233907-00234344 the issue. Governments actively sought elite support for their reforms in the belief that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00509-00234344-00234837 it was crucial if public support was to be maintained. Such cooperation was generally +zYZ6KczoMCY-00510-00234837-00235280 forthcoming. However, attitudes towards the policy varied greatly both within and between +zYZ6KczoMCY-00511-00235280-00235763 political groups, and necessitated constant negotiation. Tensions were evident between +zYZ6KczoMCY-00512-00235763-00236203 the Departments of Immigration and External Affairs over how far the reform process should +zYZ6KczoMCY-00513-00236203-00236710 go, and the scope of departmental jurisdiction. The independence of the CIAC was constrained +zYZ6KczoMCY-00514-00236710-00237148 by the authority of bureaucrats and politicians, but its members remained overwhelmingly accountable +zYZ6KczoMCY-00515-00237148-00237634 to the various interest groups they represented. It remained, as such, an important conduit +zYZ6KczoMCY-00516-00237634-00238023 for communicating ideas between governments and the general population, and ensured that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00517-00238023-00238498 parliamentary representatives maintained a measure of democratic accountability to their +zYZ6KczoMCY-00518-00238498-00238881 constituents. Differences of opinion were evident within the major political parties, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00519-00238881-00239356 especially the ALP. Even those individuals and groups who actively sought policy reform +zYZ6KczoMCY-00520-00239356-00239846 had different opinions about the nature of the changes that should take place. The associations +zYZ6KczoMCY-00521-00239846-00240266 for immigration reform were never entirely satisfied with the types of liberalisations +zYZ6KczoMCY-00522-00240266-00240844 which took place between 1966 and 1973. There is no evidence that the dismantling +zYZ6KczoMCY-00523-00240844-00241359 was significantly out of step with public demands. Policy changes were a largely pragmatic +zYZ6KczoMCY-00524-00241359-00241781 response by Australian political leaders both to changing circumstances and to the changing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00525-00241781-00242277 values of Australian society. There remained significant pockets of resistance to reform, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00526-00242277-00242689 especially amongst older Australians, within some previously quite powerful pressure groups +zYZ6KczoMCY-00527-00242689-00243180 like the RSL, and some extremist elements within Australian society. Yet a majority +zYZ6KczoMCY-00528-00243180-00243773 of people appeared to accept the policy changes which occurred from 1956 onwards. If opinion +zYZ6KczoMCY-00529-00243773-00244122 polls are to be believed, people would have tolerated more comprehensive reforms in the +zYZ6KczoMCY-00530-00244122-00244656 early to mid-1960s if the Menzies government had been prepared to act. The Holt and Whitlam +zYZ6KczoMCY-00531-00244656-00245019 initiatives were effectively in line with the popular attitudes of the time, and did +zYZ6KczoMCY-00532-00245019-00245354 not indicate an arrogant contempt for public attitudes. +zYZ6KczoMCY-00533-00245354-00245746 The main factor underpinning popular tolerance for the abolition of White Australia was that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00534-00245746-00246237 by the late 1960s it represented a significant, but by no means radical, and certainly well +zYZ6KczoMCY-00535-00246237-00246791 overdue, shift in Australian immigration policy. The gradual increase in non-European immigration +zYZ6KczoMCY-00536-00246791-00247228 during the preceding decade-and-a- half allowed Australians to adapt to the changing circumstances +zYZ6KczoMCY-00537-00247228-00247621 in which they found themselves, and to accept that the blanket exclusion of groups of people +zYZ6KczoMCY-00538-00247621-00248107 based on their racial characteristics was no longer practical or desirable. The reforms +zYZ6KczoMCY-00539-00248107-00248675 of the 1966–73 period were decisive because they allowed non-European intakes to increase +zYZ6KczoMCY-00540-00248675-00249123 rapidly, and because they openly condemned White Australia as racist and offensive. They +zYZ6KczoMCY-00541-00249123-00249477 were, nevertheless, the logical conclusion of a changing outlook and process that had +zYZ6KczoMCY-00542-00249477-00249981 long been underway, and thus came as little surprise to most Australians. In introducing +zYZ6KczoMCY-00543-00249981-00250325 them, political leaders made clear that they did not intend to relinquish their control +zYZ6KczoMCY-00544-00250325-00250809 over policy as a whole. They did not substantively challenge the notion of an Australian core +zYZ6KczoMCY-00545-00250809-00251248 culture defined in white, Anglo-Saxon terms, despite the emergence of integrationist and +zYZ6KczoMCY-00546-00251248-00251703 multicultural discourses at this time. It was on the basis of these assurances that +zYZ6KczoMCY-00547-00251703-00252217 the Australian public accepted the abolition of the White Australia policy. In contrast, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00548-00252217-00252661 changes to immigration policy from the late 1970s onwards were deemed to be more radical, +zYZ6KczoMCY-00549-00252661-00253090 bringing an unprecedented number of non-European migrants to Australia, and seemingly undermining +zYZ6KczoMCY-00550-00253090-00253403 the dominant ethnic character of Australian society and the principle of governmental +zYZ6KczoMCY-00551-00253403-00253406 control over immigration intakes. As a consequence, they proved much more controversial. +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00000-00000000-00001814 Oh say hi to my people hey dude it's over here hey everyone this is Mary over here +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00001-00001814-00002426 images on the page I'm doing the kind of new setup I liked it when did the unhaul +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00002-00002426-00002909 that I was standing so I figured I would continue see how I liked it so today I'm +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00003-00002909-00003407 doing something I have never done before I'm actually going to be doing a TBR for +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00004-00003407-00003810

out like oh I want to get these read +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00008-00005439-00005793 or whatever that maybe it'll encourage me to read more because these last I +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00009-00005793-00006548 think the last April and May come and I've only read like two books so I just +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00010-00006548-00007170 want to be reading more so I figured I would give this TBR shop ok and I have

paranormal than I had anticipated it being so we'll see how +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00073-00040576-00041818 this TBR works out and until the next video +zYaVb3Fp6jI-00074-00041818-00042096 Tata for now +zZb7BcQQHxo-00000-00000016-00000064 Hey guys. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00001-00000064-00000200 Welcome back to my channel. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00002-00000200-00000927 Today I thought I'd share a little recipe on how to make a no-churn banana coconut vegan ice-cream. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00003-00000927-00001424 I have shared in the past, actually recently, how to make a vegan lavender +zZb7BcQQHxo-00004-00001424-00001848 honey no-churn ice-cream, and I thought why not share this really easy recipe +zZb7BcQQHxo-00005-00001848-00002288 for those of you who may not really want to have the lavender taste in their ice-cream. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00006-00002288-00002696 So this is really easy, you only need two ingredients. I'm sure you can guess what they are. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00007-00002696-00003088 You want to make sure you're sourcing a really good quality +zZb7BcQQHxo-00008-00003088-00003376 coconut cream to use for the base of this. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00009-00003376-00004040 This was the best one I could find. It didn't firm up as best as I'd like, and I did chill it. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00010-00004040-00004416 It just it wasn't as good, and I was a bit like- +zZb7BcQQHxo-00011-00004416-00004592 But you have to make do with what you have. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00012-00004592-00005016 I can recommend to all those Australians out there the Macro brand is my favourite. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00013-00005016-00005104 The full-fat one. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00014-00005200-00005984 So if you, like me, do not have an ice-cream machine on hand or a hand mixer, don't worry. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00015-00005984-00006520 I have the thing just for you. All you need is a blender or a hand mixer, and you're good to go. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00016-00006584-00006952 So, I only have a blender with me, that's pretty much the only kitchen appliance +zZb7BcQQHxo-00017-00006952-00007223 that I have here and it's been my pride and joy. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00018-00007223-00007392 I use it for everything now. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00019-00007392-00007712 If you have a hand mixer it will make the coconut cream more fluffy, +zZb7BcQQHxo-00020-00007712-00007936 more light, like actual ice-cream. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00021-00007936-00008584 So I do recommend if you have that use it. But if you don't have one, like I do, just use a blender. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00022-00009264-00009680 So, all you're going to need today is 4-5 frozen bananas +zZb7BcQQHxo-00023-00009680-00010048 that you've peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch pieces. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00024-00010048-00010352 This just helps to make it easier to blend later on. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00025-00010352-00010744 Then, you want two 14 ounce cans of coconut cream +zZb7BcQQHxo-00026-00010744-00011192 or full-fat coconut milk, that's been chilled overnight in the fridge. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00027-00011192-00011512 This is important because this will help create more of the cream +zZb7BcQQHxo-00028-00011512-00011920 in the coconut milk or coconut cream for you to use in your ice-cream. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00029-00011920-00012400 So, to make this no-churn banana coconut ice-cream, all you're going to do +zZb7BcQQHxo-00030-00012400-00012856 to start with is just - without tipping the full content of the cans into a +zZb7BcQQHxo-00031-00012856-00013456 high-speed blender or chilled mixing bowl - scoop out the coconut cream from the top +zZb7BcQQHxo-00032-00013456-00014016 or the coconut milk if you're using that, and reserve the clear liquid for other recipes. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00033-00014016-00014496 You can use it in things like smoothies, shakes, juices and baking, and things like that. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00034-00014608-00015088 Then you want to blend this cream until smooth and creamy if you're using a blender, +zZb7BcQQHxo-00035-00015088-00015440 or whip it until creamy and smooth if using a hand mixer. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00036-00015528-00015952 Then, you want to add in the frozen bananas and blend until smooth and creamy. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00037-00016016-00016552 Then transfer this mixture to a freezer safe container and cover loosely with a towel. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00038-00016552-00016944 This will help prevent an icy layer forming over the top. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00039-00016944-00017280 And you want to let it freeze for 2-3 hours or until firm. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00040-00017360-00017856 Remove it from the freezer at least 20 minutes before you're going to be scooping it out, +zZb7BcQQHxo-00041-00017856-00018424 and use a scoop that's been warmed under hot water to help make the ice-cream easier to scoop out. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00042-00018496-00018976 This ice-cream will keep in the freezer for up to 1 week, but it's best when eaten fresh. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00043-00018976-00019312 And that's how you make this no-churn banana coconut ice-cream. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00044-00019312-00019472 I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00045-00019472-00019872 Do let me know if you try it, and let me know what you think of it. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00046-00019872-00020168 I hope you enjoy. Do share other recipes that you've tried. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00047-00020168-00020352 Otherwise, I really hope you enjoyed today's video. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00048-00020352-00020544 If you did like it, please give it a thumbs up. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00049-00020544-00021080 And if you want to join our tribe, our squad, our fam on YouTube, you know just to subscribe down in +zZb7BcQQHxo-00050-00021080-00021552 the corner below, and hit the bell button to make sure you keep up to date with my future videos. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00051-00021552-00022056 Otherwise I really hope you enjoyed today's video, and I hope to see you again soon in my next video. +zZb7BcQQHxo-00052-00022112-00022584 Bye. +zbHafrCBrVI-00000-00000000-00000884 Climate change will dramatically reshape our world in many ways, including the very shape of our coastlines, +zbHafrCBrVI-00001-00000884-00001679 but coastlines are changed by more than just the often-discussed flooding and erosion. +zbHafrCBrVI-00002-00001679-00002289 Many are also heavily influenced by sediment deposited by rivers. +zbHafrCBrVI-00003-00002289-00003006 This is usually a slow process, punctuated by tremendous surges after extreme events +zbHafrCBrVI-00004-00003006-00003823 like wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and heavy storms, which usually occur decades or centuries apart. +zbHafrCBrVI-00005-00003823-00004557 But climate change makes some of them — like wildfires and heavy rain — more frequent and severe. +zbHafrCBrVI-00006-00004557-00005479 Climate change also impacts watersheds upstream at high latitudes and altitudes, further influencing sedimentation at the coasts. +zbHafrCBrVI-00007-00005479-00006300 Small watersheds are more reactive to the major events that increase the sedimentation rate, +zbHafrCBrVI-00008-00006300-00007215 and some coastline changes may linger for decades, while others may be erased by erosion and sea-level changes. +zbHafrCBrVI-00009-00007215-00008137 All of this means that researchers need to measure more than just average sedimentation, such as variability and trends. +zbHafrCBrVI-00010-00008137-00008966 Fully understanding these processes will require collaboration among many fields like hydrology, oceanography, and climate science. +zbHafrCBrVI-00011-00008966-00009874 Researchers also need to collaborate with coastal communities so that they can prepare for future changes in their shores under climate change. +zcBe4B4nfO8-00000-00000066-00001026 I promoted on two videos and I've already made over a hundred extra views from my video. I'm +zcBe4B4nfO8-00001-00001026-00002010 not kidding. I have made another something, like 100 views, from one thing that I made. +zhkbqV_Xpfk-00000-00000582-00001014 Now in this first part, I'd like to ask you some more questions about yourself.

Here we have four presenters.

We have seven libraries that support 11 schools and colleges and we have more than 17,000 students and 16,000 faculty and staff members. +zhEMEmYppa8-00025-00040203-00041157 Kelly Miller: The program that will describe today is based on collaboration between the University of Miami's office of the vice provost for research and the UN libraries. +zhEMEmYppa8-00026-00041202-00042030 Kelly Miller: The seed of the collaboration was planted when Susan Morgan then associate provost for research and a professor in the School of Communication. +zhEMEmYppa8-00027-00042069-00043071 Kelly Miller: Came to the libraries to discuss with us the possibilities for collaborating around a new strategic initiative called you link that the university was launching +zhEMEmYppa8-00028-00043413-00045429 Kelly Miller: In our conversations. Susan described some of the key questions for office was asking how can the university advanced solutions to societal problems or grand challenges, what is necessary to stimulate team based interdisciplinary research and what a researchers need to be successful. +zhEMEmYppa8-00029-00045546-00047124 Kelly Miller: The questions for me then were, how might librarians contribute to this effort and, more specifically, could this be an opportunity for subject librarians or liaison librarians in particular to participate in research in new ways, and to experiment with new roles. +zhEMEmYppa8-00030-00047259-00048474 Kelly Miller: Over the last several decades librarianship has been adapting to meet the changing needs of 21st century researchers by building expertise and such as a scholarly communication data management and digital scholarship +zhEMEmYppa8-00031-00048513-00049140 Kelly Miller: It appears to us that a new area of exploration is library support for interdisciplinary research. +zhEMEmYppa8-00032-00049197-00050541 Kelly Miller: What do interdisciplinary researchers need as they are working on pressing global challenges like climate change and systemic racism and how can librarians help address these needs and reimagine their own roles in response +zhEMEmYppa8-00033-00050847-00051804 Kelly Miller: So the new strategic initiative that the Office of Research was about to launch was called the university's laboratory for Integrative knowledge initiative, also known as you link. +zhEMEmYppa8-00034-00051870-00053204 Kelly Miller: The goal of this program is to address the world's most compelling problems through interdisciplinary inquiry teams of scholars from multiple disciplines receive funding to pursue solutions to the problems they identify +zhEMEmYppa8-00035-00053310-00053997 Kelly Miller: As Susan talked with me about what the university leadership hoped. These teams might accomplish. I'm used allowed +zhEMEmYppa8-00036-00054054-00055122 Kelly Miller: To Susan whether librarians might be able to join the teams to learn and provide support she thought the idea sounded extremely intriguing and suggested that we go ahead and try it. +zhEMEmYppa8-00037-00055176-00055965 Kelly Miller: The first set of teams had just been selected, but had not yet received their grant notifications. So Susan thought it was feasible to +zhEMEmYppa8-00038-00055998-00056874 Kelly Miller: Invite librarians to join each team as part of the grant award notification process, in essence, the librarians would become part of the infrastructure. +zhEMEmYppa8-00039-00056949-00057939 Kelly Miller: Offered to support the program as a result of this strategic conversation librarians have been part of the healing programs, since its beginning +zhEMEmYppa8-00040-00058029-00059004 Kelly Miller: In January 2018 in the first three years of you links existence as a requirement of the grant program librarians have been embedded on each of the award winning teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00041-00059061-00060504 Kelly Miller: This opportunity has provided librarians with direct knowledge of the needs and demands of their teams and the experience has allowed them to deepen their relationships with research faculty members and courageously experiment with new ways to share their expertise and their skills. +zhEMEmYppa8-00042-00060789-00062286 Kelly Miller: This is an overview of the vision for the link program. And I'll just emphasize several of the key elements, as I mentioned, the programs focused on Grand Challenges that require multiple disciplines to interact with one another in the creation of solutions. +zhEMEmYppa8-00043-00062415-00063300 Kelly Miller: And typically with these teams, or at least three disciplines involved and then funding for research teams is provided in several phases. +zhEMEmYppa8-00044-00063372-00064689 Kelly Miller: The first phase offers fundings for teams to develop their concept while team building and the second phase provides funds for teams to begin implementation of the proposed experiment or project, creating prototypes are collecting preliminary data. +zhEMEmYppa8-00045-00064880-00064955 Kelly Miller: So, +zhEMEmYppa8-00046-00065175-00065718 Kelly Miller: One of the supports for the for the teams is training and the science of team science. +zhEMEmYppa8-00047-00065784-00066702 Kelly Miller: Science of team science is based in emerging scholarship on how scientists social scientists humanists and others work together across disciplines to solve complex problems. +zhEMEmYppa8-00048-00066753-00067383 Kelly Miller: An annual science of Team Science Conference is now taking place we presented at the most recent conference in May. +zhEMEmYppa8-00049-00067416-00068577 Kelly Miller: Discussing the question of what role the librarian might play on teams and our session was attended by a mix of faculty members administrators and librarians. The next conference will take place in June 2021 +zhEMEmYppa8-00050-00068934-00069840 Kelly Miller: The human vision also includes a commitment to fostering team interaction and bonding, we created spaces in the UN libraries for teams together and work together. +zhEMEmYppa8-00051-00069864-00070698 Kelly Miller: This is a picture of the faculty exploratory were using teams met regularly prior to code 19 and we expect, they'll be back close to coven 19 +zhEMEmYppa8-00052-00070746-00072054 Kelly Miller: This aspect of the program connects with our un libraries long term vision and planning for a future renovation of the third floor of Richter library. Our largest library to create a research comments were faculty can meet and collaborate across the disciplines. +zhEMEmYppa8-00053-00072288-00072636 Kelly Miller: The program is funded more than a dozen interdisciplinary research teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00054-00072708-00073740 Kelly Miller: As a senior administrator. I served on the YouTube link Action Team a committee that was facilitated by the VP for Research, we reviewed each application to the program and advise on the program's development. +zhEMEmYppa8-00055-00073806-00074694 Kelly Miller: So the library is actively involved in the selection of teams. This is a chart showing each of the three rounds of Phase one funding between 2018 and 2020 +zhEMEmYppa8-00056-00074748-00075492 Kelly Miller: Topics have included the alien health of the oceans facial profile profiling and other societal issues. +zhEMEmYppa8-00057-00075555-00076266 Kelly Miller: Faculty participants have been drawn from across the university's 11 disciplinary schools and nearly a dozen librarians have been involved as team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00058-00076299-00077832 Kelly Miller: Team members. So now I'd like to hand the microphone to my library and faculty colleagues both subject librarians who have served as you think librarians. They'll provide their own perspective on the role that they played and the contributions, they've made. So, Angela. +zhEMEmYppa8-00059-00078120-00078924 Angela Clark Hughes: Good afternoon. Thank you, Kelly. I am Angela Clark us, the director of the world and still School Library at the University of Miami. +zhEMEmYppa8-00060-00079029-00080052 Angela Clark Hughes: Been an academic libraries now over 30 years and it is as the picture that Kelly showed earlier, a beautiful campus. +zhEMEmYppa8-00061-00080148-00081063 Angela Clark Hughes: The Roseville school is a graduate school and we're located about 40 minutes from our main campus on a barrier island called Virginia Key +zhEMEmYppa8-00062-00081123-00082566 Angela Clark Hughes: But the school has a presence on the main campus as well for our undergraduate program. So there was a great deal of back and forth between the campuses as Kelly mentioned you launched it you link program and +zhEMEmYppa8-00063-00082698-00083028 Angela Clark Hughes: And at that time I was assigned to two teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00064-00083160-00083604 Angela Clark Hughes: The first year of the program. Both had marine science focused +zhEMEmYppa8-00065-00083733-00084882 Angela Clark Hughes: But overall, I've been on for very interesting and very different research teams. I was on a team integrating ocean and human health. +zhEMEmYppa8-00066-00084936-00085296 Angela Clark Hughes: Focusing on the aerosol ization of harmful algal blooms. +zhEMEmYppa8-00067-00085383-00087216 Angela Clark Hughes: A team researching coastal resilience employing reef restoration strategies that combine gray segment based and green nature based defenses to reduce the impact of ocean waves. This team has just completed its third and final year +zhEMEmYppa8-00068-00087321-00087696 Angela Clark Hughes: With you link funds and continues through extra meal funding. +zhEMEmYppa8-00069-00087816-00088911 Angela Clark Hughes: Recently in 2020 I was invited to join a team looking to develop integrated solutions for sustainably feeding the world using aquaculture. +zhEMEmYppa8-00070-00088959-00090363 Angela Clark Hughes: Focusing on coastal communities directly affected by fishing declines due to overfishing, climate change and environmental degradation. This team has just applied for phase two funding. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00071-00090636-00090723 Angela Clark Hughes: And lastly, +zhEMEmYppa8-00072-00090828-00091740 Angela Clark Hughes: In 2019 I was asked to be a member of this you link team hyper localism transforming the paradigm for climate adaptation +zhEMEmYppa8-00073-00091866-00092844 Angela Clark Hughes: We represent the atmospheric sciences architecture English Communication Studies marine geosciences and Information Sciences +zhEMEmYppa8-00074-00092910-00094614 Angela Clark Hughes: In phase two, we add it to our team a GIS and mapping librarian and a PhD student who's also in communications, the PhD student is funded through the link program for all teams reaching phase two. +zhEMEmYppa8-00075-00094731-00095538 Angela Clark Hughes: So we are very large team with a lot of research experience on a senior level, but the difference with this team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00076-00095580-00097056 Angela Clark Hughes: Was the immediate team dynamic. The first phase of you link is Kelly mentioned puts an emphasis on the science of Team Science essentially building and solidifying the team before the research even begins. +zhEMEmYppa8-00077-00097122-00097893 Angela Clark Hughes: And while that can be very clunky with newly assembled groups of individuals we managed to organize very well. +zhEMEmYppa8-00078-00097980-00099531 Angela Clark Hughes: But we couldn't truly be hyper local without working closely within communities and with organizations that also saw the need to approach climate adaptation from a people first perspective to bring community voices to the forefront. +zhEMEmYppa8-00079-00099693-00100857 Angela Clark Hughes: To do that we partner with advocacy groups that were working to inform and empower individuals in climate change awareness, the Clio Institute catalyst Miami. +zhEMEmYppa8-00080-00100905-00102972 Angela Clark Hughes: And resilience officers and teams from the City of Miami and Miami Dade County with the team fully assembled, we explored the gaps between current policy and neighborhood interests and assess the potential impact on a granular scale or hyper local scale. Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00081-00103149-00104226 Angela Clark Hughes: So our team created an integrated climate risk assessment protocol I grow by mapping several parameters that are you see listed here. +zhEMEmYppa8-00082-00104271-00104898 Angela Clark Hughes: That could be overlaid to determine the grade of risk in a neighborhood. This particular map. +zhEMEmYppa8-00083-00104976-00105657 Angela Clark Hughes: Shows the septic systems in the City of Miami with the majority of the systems in need of repair. +zhEMEmYppa8-00084-00105699-00107664 Angela Clark Hughes: And we know that these systems are vulnerable to sea level rise and too heavy rain and when the sea level rises and the water table rises it greatly affects these systems. So once we determined the most at risk areas. We then conducted our field studies. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00085-00107858-00108525 Angela Clark Hughes: So the field study portion of this team was by far the most exciting part for me. +zhEMEmYppa8-00086-00108683-00108774 Angela Clark Hughes: And this is +zhEMEmYppa8-00087-00108957-00109941 Angela Clark Hughes: Apart. This picture is our team out exploring on a cloudy day meeting people with different perspectives. +zhEMEmYppa8-00088-00110084-00111255 Angela Clark Hughes: And in this, the team members took this as an adventure. So we were out evaluating storm drains and pumping stations essentially walking neighborhoods in Miami. +zhEMEmYppa8-00089-00111303-00113210 Angela Clark Hughes: Noting streets that were flooded pounding on grass housing elevations and marking every Creek in every canal in every hotspot to familiarize ourselves with the area with the people that live in the area of the social environment and Pathak topography. Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00090-00113478-00114942 Angela Clark Hughes: Then, with the help of our community partners who solicited participants, we held a series of workshops focused on these communities. This year, of course, we had to pivot to online workshops, but these workshops +zhEMEmYppa8-00091-00115061-00115910 Angela Clark Hughes: We developed with a novel protocol for community engagement using two techniques. The first technique is called photo voice. +zhEMEmYppa8-00092-00115980-00117222 Angela Clark Hughes: In, in which we took participants illustrate their observations through photos that they took of their neighborhood, and then they would caption each photo and we're given. +zhEMEmYppa8-00093-00117279-00118176 Angela Clark Hughes: Opportunity to give a brief narrative about the photo that they've taken. So the middle photograph just shows a broken bus bench. +zhEMEmYppa8-00094-00118281-00119783 Angela Clark Hughes: And it might not seem problematic. At first glance, until you meet the woman who stands in the heat or in the rain every day on her way to work, then that broken bench takes on a new meaning. +zhEMEmYppa8-00095-00120093-00121179 Angela Clark Hughes: Then we used a process called design thinking a method to arrive at possible solutions next course of action for these community members. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00096-00121473-00123207 Angela Clark Hughes: So how have I contributed to this team have helped in the development, the testing and the creation of the Agra protocol I co facilitated the photo voice and design thinking workshops and the subsequent data analysis. +zhEMEmYppa8-00097-00123327-00125178 Angela Clark Hughes: I am collaborating on two articles on on our protocol and the results of our study I co wrote a grant proposal for external funding which we were awarded in January of 2020. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00098-00125346-00126039 Angela Clark Hughes: And because we did receive that funding from at AMP T, our team made the US News. +zhEMEmYppa8-00099-00126177-00126231 Angela Clark Hughes: Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00100-00126438-00127782 Angela Clark Hughes: We also created a website to maintain a touch point for all local communities that we will have engagements with and for our partners to stay engaged with us. +zhEMEmYppa8-00101-00127886-00128994 Angela Clark Hughes: With the idea that this team and our research will persist beyond the final you link phase. And with that I'll turn it over to my colleague James up sec +zhEMEmYppa8-00102-00129183-00129351 James Sobczak: Everyone. Thank you. +zhEMEmYppa8-00103-00129458-00129888 James Sobczak: Hello everyone, my name is James subject and I am the stem librarian at the University of Miami. +zhEMEmYppa8-00104-00129921-00131001 James Sobczak: And before I dive right into my section of today's presentation. I just wanted to give you a brief overview of my background as I think it helps inform how I approach my you like experience. +zhEMEmYppa8-00105-00131055-00131637 James Sobczak: So as you can see from this slide I'm relatively new to the library profession. Having obtained my MLS in 2018 +zhEMEmYppa8-00106-00131694-00132051 James Sobczak: And I'm also somewhat new to research and scholarship in the STEM fields as well. +zhEMEmYppa8-00107-00132081-00132828 James Sobczak: As my other degree is coming from the field of architecture which is a subject I can still consider to be a little bit more Stella Jason rather than a hard science. +zhEMEmYppa8-00108-00132876-00133536 James Sobczak: And finally, I'm also somewhat new to the University of Miami as an institution have been taken on this position, just a little over two years ago. +zhEMEmYppa8-00109-00133629-00134472 James Sobczak: So the point I'm trying to get at is that I'm very much a early career professional within libraries and I'm very new to many aspects related to my current job. +zhEMEmYppa8-00110-00134517-00135564 James Sobczak: And to be very honest, this gave me some non trivial bouts of imposter syndrome. When I first started working with these Ulan teams, a lot of tenured faculty and multiple PhDs on sitting around the table. +zhEMEmYppa8-00111-00135666-00136131 James Sobczak: So that was a little intimidating at first, but as I got kind of more in the swing of things that quickly dissipated. +zhEMEmYppa8-00112-00136194-00136686 James Sobczak: And I think also my newness added to the fact that I was kind of fostered a can do attitude. +zhEMEmYppa8-00113-00136716-00137898 James Sobczak: On my part as I was able to take on new roles and responsibilities within a library and I wasn't so much burdened with any kind of preconceived notions about quote unquote traditional academic library roles. Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00114-00138153-00139017 James Sobczak: Currently I serve on to to Ulan teams as a youth librarian. The team, which I joined almost immediately upon starting at UN +zhEMEmYppa8-00115-00139053-00140268 James Sobczak: is interested in the development of the next generation of coastal structures, and more specifically this team, which is made up of faculty members from engineering economics biology architecture and sculpture. +zhEMEmYppa8-00116-00140343-00141309 James Sobczak: This team is researching interventions that holistically address the effects of sea level rise and storm surge mitigation, which are two critical issues facing coastal communities around the globe. +zhEMEmYppa8-00117-00141366-00142377 James Sobczak: But especially here in South Florida on this team has already gone on through one year of Phase one funding and based on our preliminary research has now been awarded two years of Phase two funding. +zhEMEmYppa8-00118-00142431-00143001 James Sobczak: And my second team is looking at plastic usage as part as part of modern material culture. +zhEMEmYppa8-00119-00143040-00143754 James Sobczak: And you're just hoping to find ways to promote more mindful use of consumer plastics throughout their entire lifecycle from production to disposal. +zhEMEmYppa8-00120-00143784-00144924 James Sobczak: On this team is composed of faculty from the departments of archaeology English chemistry economics marine biology and communications. So as you can see a lot of these things are very interdisciplinary and actually quite big. Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00121-00145146-00145773 James Sobczak: So how do I as a librarian contribute as a team member and I do emphasize and underline the word team member +zhEMEmYppa8-00122-00145821-00146595 James Sobczak: Because you like as a program really does strive to view librarians as full fledged team members on his projects, not just kind of ancillary support staff. +zhEMEmYppa8-00123-00146676-00147591 James Sobczak: The first and foremost thing that I think I contributed to as a librarian is that I helped with my team's initial literature searches, because this is interdisciplinary team science. +zhEMEmYppa8-00124-00147636-00148323 James Sobczak: Everyone comes to the table with their own preferred resources databases, they go to default research practices and so on. +zhEMEmYppa8-00125-00148395-00149289 James Sobczak: So having a librarian is somewhat of a neutral party allowed the team members to find articles and research materials that they might not otherwise have explored because they had been outside of their normal purview. +zhEMEmYppa8-00126-00149382-00150630 James Sobczak: Another service that I provided was the coordination and setup of specific library spaces in which to hold our weekly face to face meetings, those emphasizing the library's role as kind of a collaborative hub on campus for everyone. Both faculty and students. +zhEMEmYppa8-00127-00150780-00151329 James Sobczak: And while space coordination might seem somewhat insignificant. I can't really emphasize how much +zhEMEmYppa8-00128-00151356-00152262 James Sobczak: And how important it was to get everyone in the same room on a weekly basis sitting around a table sitting around a whiteboard really hash out ideas, especially in the early stages of this project. +zhEMEmYppa8-00129-00152328-00153723 James Sobczak: And while Kobe has made this face to face interaction, a little impractical or impossible in our case on the habit of we have meeting weekly face to face has continued on into zoom. So kind of starting those practices early has just moved right on into the digital realm. +zhEMEmYppa8-00130-00153855-00154284 James Sobczak: Through participating you link. I've also got the opportunity to contribute to the scholarly output of my team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00131-00154338-00155073 James Sobczak: And this is included helping author various articles presentations and even in the case of my plastics as material culture team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00132-00155124-00156426 James Sobczak: We recently collaborated together on an op ed piece that was published in the Miami Herald, which was a very exciting opportunity as I was my first time to really kind of directly engage with this particular form of science communication to a larger, more general audience. +zhEMEmYppa8-00133-00156531-00157413 James Sobczak: But where I really think I excelled as an asset to my team wasn't the creation documentation and management of information objects that we generated as a team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00134-00157446-00158526 James Sobczak: Through the use of kind of new emerging tools and technologies and I'm going to share. Two quick examples in the next couple of slides, one of them being 360 degree video and the other being Microsoft team. Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00135-00158781-00159600 James Sobczak: Because my next generation coastal structures team needed to document very complex and dynamic environments along the various coastal sites that we visited on our various field trips +zhEMEmYppa8-00136-00159645-00160860 James Sobczak: I had the idea of leveraging our libraries creative studio, which has an audio visual equipment loan program. And this allowed me to introduce our team to our series. Our GoPro three six URI waterproof cameras. +zhEMEmYppa8-00137-00160935-00161355 James Sobczak: Which you can kind of see on the screen right here if you actually visit the site, you can actually orbit around and pen around +zhEMEmYppa8-00138-00161427-00162600 James Sobczak: This image, but this really allowed you to kind our team to capture the dynamic information that these sites presented in a way that really wasn't available and still imagery and this allowed us when we got back to the library. +zhEMEmYppa8-00139-00162642-00163560 James Sobczak: To or back online to actually explore these videos and actually revisit these sites in a way that was very dynamic and this also allowed the, sorry about that. +zhEMEmYppa8-00140-00163614-00164025 James Sobczak: If you go, you can just leave on this on. But one other quick point I want to mention is that +zhEMEmYppa8-00141-00164082-00164853 James Sobczak: Through the use of this kind of creative studio equipment. It was kind of a synergy between these two different library programs, one being you link and one being our creative studio +zhEMEmYppa8-00142-00164901-00165798 James Sobczak: Because now the faculty know that this equipment is available to them and their students. So here's two different library programs, both supporting one another in their endeavors. Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00143-00166128-00166953 James Sobczak: On the other game changer that I think was the introduction of Microsoft Teams as a way to collaboratively document and communicate and share resources as a team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00144-00167019-00167808 James Sobczak: And having the ability to use this platform to informally chat setup designated channels around specific topics and store documents in the cloud and back them up. +zhEMEmYppa8-00145-00167844-00168669 James Sobczak: Was kind of a huge productivity booster for my team and because we implement this in 2018 when I first started this is well before coven hit +zhEMEmYppa8-00146-00168708-00169398 James Sobczak: And when Kofi did hit the campus of the University Miami rigorously pushed Microsoft Teams as a campus wide collaborative platform. +zhEMEmYppa8-00147-00169440-00170229 James Sobczak: But because we have adopted it early. My team members already had kind of a leg up on their colleagues and their departments as they are already familiar with this tool and its capabilities. +zhEMEmYppa8-00148-00170277-00170946 James Sobczak: And there's kind of just shows how kind of early adoption of new technologies and tools can often do kind of unexpected dividends later down the road. +zhEMEmYppa8-00149-00171069-00171141 James Sobczak: Next slide please. +zhEMEmYppa8-00150-00171342-00172077 James Sobczak: So what did I personally gain as a librarian from a unique experience. Well, first and foremost, it was a great way to directly engage with my faculty +zhEMEmYppa8-00151-00172134-00172548 James Sobczak: If they could see me as a productive collaborator and these kind of intimate team settings and you link. +zhEMEmYppa8-00152-00172581-00173238 James Sobczak: I feel much more likely to reach out to me and see me as a collaborator and other research endeavors, that they might be engaged with on campus. +zhEMEmYppa8-00153-00173304-00173754 James Sobczak: You link also helped me learn a lot more about the subject areas I liaison with, as I said, I come from architecture. +zhEMEmYppa8-00154-00173796-00174255 James Sobczak: So a lot of these disciplines or something very new to me and just kind of the research practices was something I wasn't familiar with. +zhEMEmYppa8-00155-00174315-00174567 James Sobczak: But just through the informal conversations +zhEMEmYppa8-00156-00174612-00175506 James Sobczak: With my team, those kind of five minute chats before after meeting starts it really gave me a much clear insight to their and their respective departments research interests. +zhEMEmYppa8-00157-00175533-00176343 James Sobczak: And things that they might be working on. And this has allowed me, I think, to become a more informed and kind of spacious library and from a resource allocation and collection development perspective. +zhEMEmYppa8-00158-00176469-00176931 James Sobczak: The next bullet point touches on the science of teen science topic that Kelly mentioned a little earlier. +zhEMEmYppa8-00159-00177006-00177594 James Sobczak: Not only did I get to learn about the latest research and the science of Team Science through the workshops and guest lectures, hosted by you, Link. +zhEMEmYppa8-00160-00177630-00178158 James Sobczak: But I also got to participate in the actual team building and formation processes firsthand on these teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00161-00178182-00178956 James Sobczak: And then I could take these skills and apply those to other projects I might be working in within the library. So kind of a crossover from you link into my professional practice as a librarian. +zhEMEmYppa8-00162-00179052-00180417 James Sobczak: And finally Ulan gave me the opportunity like this presentation today to present the contributions of academic librarians to research endeavors in higher education and hopefully kind of expand interest in similar projects at other institutions. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00163-00180627-00181239 James Sobczak: And with all that said, I just had one final slide that I want to include indicate that you link as any program of its size and scope. +zhEMEmYppa8-00164-00181275-00181614 James Sobczak: Was not necessarily without its fair share of challenges. +zhEMEmYppa8-00165-00181656-00182619 James Sobczak: And as I hopefully continue with both my old teams and New Zealand teams in the future, or if I was advising anyone looking to join similar interdisciplinary science teams at their own institutions. +zhEMEmYppa8-00166-00182691-00183573 James Sobczak: I would try and be mindful of the following points first of which is to realize that there's no one best way to be a librarian on any of these interdisciplinary science teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00167-00183612-00184296 James Sobczak: What works really well for one team could be completely unworkable for another each team has its own unique combination of skills expertise. +zhEMEmYppa8-00168-00184323-00185016 James Sobczak: And personality types that it brings to the table. So as librarian. You need to be flexible with your role and find whatever niche works best for you and your team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00169-00185139-00185778 James Sobczak: Second, sometimes you just have to put yourself out there as library and try ideas and see what works or what catches on with the teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00170-00185844-00186411 James Sobczak: Sometimes this is the only way to demonstrate your skills and hidden talents that you as a librarian, as well as a person. +zhEMEmYppa8-00171-00186465-00187806 James Sobczak: Bring to the table because, like it or not. Most faculty members and researchers on campus only have a very rudimentary understanding of what we as librarians can do as librarians, let alone as individuals or persons and finally +zhEMEmYppa8-00172-00187917-00188613 James Sobczak: I want to emphasize that you cannot take kind of a slow research pace or failures too much to heart when you're working on these types of teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00173-00188646-00189390 James Sobczak: interdisciplinary science, by its very nature is a tricky thing to get right otherwise every wicked problem in the world would already be taken care of. +zhEMEmYppa8-00174-00189477-00190395 James Sobczak: So you just have to realize that failing may not feel great. It never does. But it's just kind of part of the process. And it's not a reflection of your personal skills or talents. +zhEMEmYppa8-00175-00190431-00191208 James Sobczak: And just like with team sports, not every team makes it to the championship match. Neither does every Ulan team go on to get repeat funding, year after year. +zhEMEmYppa8-00176-00191244-00191868 James Sobczak: That's just the kind of the nation that ever. And you have to kind of get used to that as a librarian, because we're not work used to working in this type of environment. +zhEMEmYppa8-00177-00191961-00192699 James Sobczak: And with that, I think I've spoken long enough on my particular unique experiences. So I'll turn it over to Ken right now to talk about assessment. +zhEMEmYppa8-00178-00192852-00193659 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Well, thank you, James. Hello everyone. My name is Calvin canal and I'm the assessment librarian at University of Miami libraries. +zhEMEmYppa8-00179-00193701-00194202 Kineret Ben-Knaan: And I'll be presenting on our YouTube link assessment activities and findings. +zhEMEmYppa8-00180-00194280-00194937 Kineret Ben-Knaan: unique opportunity as hoping new avenues for our variance to collaborate with researchers and become their partners. +zhEMEmYppa8-00181-00194967-00195759 Kineret Ben-Knaan: It does hallway, it does also open the door for you and libraries to gain insight into interdisciplinary research and its challenges. +zhEMEmYppa8-00182-00195846-00197157 Kineret Ben-Knaan: This inside knowledge as informed our library renovation planning, it will guide our professional development investment and help the libraries better response a response to interdisciplinary research needs in the future. +zhEMEmYppa8-00183-00197253-00198084 Kineret Ben-Knaan: In F in 2018 and 2019 we conducted surveys and focus groups to learn about librarians experience on the teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00184-00198126-00199368 Kineret Ben-Knaan: We wanted to know about librarians roles benefits to the team's challenges and how the library can better support our librarians in this emerging roles to examine these questions, we developed +zhEMEmYppa8-00185-00199539-00199722 Kineret Ben-Knaan: A Kelly go back again. +zhEMEmYppa8-00186-00199863-00200607 Kineret Ben-Knaan: To examine this questions we develop an open ended survey instrument distributed annually to librarians who participated in the program. +zhEMEmYppa8-00187-00200679-00201684 Kineret Ben-Knaan: The results of the survey accumulated from two consecutive annual activities. In addition, semi structured focus group with 11 Ulan librarian was also conducted +zhEMEmYppa8-00188-00201783-00202614 Kineret Ben-Knaan: We asked only several guided questions to encourage our librarians to share the user experience and allow them to learn about their colleagues experience on using +zhEMEmYppa8-00189-00202683-00203748 Kineret Ben-Knaan: The focus groups led to an open and enriching dialogue that lasted two hours. It was extremely valuable and supplemented our understandings of the survey results. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00190-00204162-00204672 Kineret Ben-Knaan: We found that libertarians contribute to interdisciplinary research teams in diverse ways +zhEMEmYppa8-00191-00204723-00205494 Kineret Ben-Knaan: But that the contribution clustered in three main areas. The first one, finding and accessing information resources across disciplines. +zhEMEmYppa8-00192-00205536-00206246 Kineret Ben-Knaan: The second connecting teams to experts and resources and the third one, improving collaboration and communication strategies. +zhEMEmYppa8-00193-00206298-00207548 Kineret Ben-Knaan: This first area is not surprising, but the second two are particularly interesting and promising librarians are serving as connectors and also serving to help the team come here and engage more meaningfully. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00194-00207848-00208496 Kineret Ben-Knaan: During the focus groups challenges and barriers to a successful partnerships between librarians and research. +zhEMEmYppa8-00195-00208554-00209217 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Teams have surfaced several librarians express frustrations over the level of inclusions older teens. +zhEMEmYppa8-00196-00209250-00210009 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Some mentions in a to determine clear expectations. What is exactly the role of libertarians on interdisciplinary research teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00197-00210036-00210692 Kineret Ben-Knaan: This question does not have a general answer as each libertarian comes with the different expert expertise and skill sets. +zhEMEmYppa8-00198-00210735-00212010 Kineret Ben-Knaan: libertarians also discuss the differences between them and other team members regarding compensations should offer C and grants should be words be different. In most cases, the word different +zhEMEmYppa8-00199-00212100-00212798 Kineret Ben-Knaan: lack of confidence in their own abilities and skill to participate as a research the member was another issue we discuss +zhEMEmYppa8-00200-00212856-00213483 Kineret Ben-Knaan: However, we noticed that concerns related to self confidence faded once librarians gain more experience. +zhEMEmYppa8-00201-00213561-00215229 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Lastly, we'll learn that leadership changes in our administration in our university may also influence deliverance petition patients on this or other similar projects in the future. Regardless, on our contribution inclusions and value next life. +zhEMEmYppa8-00202-00215519-00216735 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Was this finding, we were able to refine our descriptions on the you link librarian program to educate faculty member apply faculty members applying on to for you link grant +zhEMEmYppa8-00203-00216786-00217902 Kineret Ben-Knaan: About the beneficial balls that librarians can play on their teams on this informational sheets distributed to applicants know barons accorded about how they contributed to the teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00204-00217935-00218910 Kineret Ben-Knaan: By connecting their teams to community stakeholders conducting extensive literature searches and identifying and managing partner collaboration software for the team's +zhEMEmYppa8-00205-00219015-00219078 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00206-00219323-00220500 Kineret Ben-Knaan: In the context of science, the science of Team Science prior research studies examine the value of adding a knowledge of bridging collaborators, such as librarians to scientific teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00207-00220563-00221601 Kineret Ben-Knaan: One study indicated that participation of a bridge builder or knowledge broker, such as librarians contributed to a successful integration in teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00208-00221648-00222315 Kineret Ben-Knaan: librarians who know how to ask questions about disciplines, other than the audience serves as integration specialist +zhEMEmYppa8-00209-00222375-00223362 Kineret Ben-Knaan: With their unique skill sets and natural vantage points libertarians can help them as their address some of the most common challenges they face, including how to manage large teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00210-00223404-00224109 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Navigate difficulty communicating with team members and find a common language with which to address the proposed problem. +zhEMEmYppa8-00211-00224171-00225473 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Another way to describe the role of labor and might be as cultural translators, who are necessary for breaking down silos on all sorts in this case between discipline and for the benefits of society. +zhEMEmYppa8-00212-00225671-00225729 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00213-00225990-00227139 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Well, our finding about your link librarians have helped us understand a understand their present contribution and their perspective roles on interdisciplinary research teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00214-00227178-00228042 Kineret Ben-Knaan: We recognize that we are still missing the researchers reflections and feedback those non librarian faculty on unique teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00215-00228081-00229302 Kineret Ben-Knaan: So already this year we have partners once again with a Susan Morgan before the former associate provost for research. And so the Aztec supporter of the new link librarians initiative. +zhEMEmYppa8-00216-00229344-00229844 Kineret Ben-Knaan: To develop a set of server questions related to the involvement of librarians and using +zhEMEmYppa8-00217-00229914-00230969 Kineret Ben-Knaan: These new questions were added and distributed as part of the annual you link survey that has been filled in by the university Office of Research since 2013 +zhEMEmYppa8-00218-00231017-00232266 Kineret Ben-Knaan: So we distributed and just recently this year, we asked faculty questions like, if they are clear about like barons is follow responsibilities and expertise on their teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00219-00232319-00233958 Kineret Ben-Knaan: How do teams benefits from librarian involvement and whether their perceptions about them. The low variance of change over time. We also wanted to know their views on what might hinder the involvement of libertarians on you live now in the future. +zhEMEmYppa8-00220-00234063-00235188 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Representatives from 11 out of 17 your league teams have responded to the survey a total of 33 participants librarians have not received this portion of the survey. +zhEMEmYppa8-00221-00235257-00236151 Kineret Ben-Knaan: It is too early to report the survey results as we are now in the process of analyzing them selected open ended comments are shown here in this slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00222-00236250-00237801 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Though we are very encouraged by many of the responses we received. It is important to note that not all faculty recorded a successful integration Sam viewed initiative in a less positive light largely to the lock. +zhEMEmYppa8-00223-00237891-00240084 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Due to the lack of guidance and clarity on why the librarians can do for their teams we noticed a gap that exists that a gap exists between potentialities and actuality between researchers understandings of what light libraries librarians could have done for their projects. Next slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00224-00240348-00241833 Kineret Ben-Knaan: As mentioned many comments alluded to, as a significant potential benefits of Avila variants on interdisciplinary research teams still more investment on the following are needed to sustain this type of partnerships. +zhEMEmYppa8-00225-00241884-00242310 Kineret Ben-Knaan: clarifying the role of low bands on interdisciplinary research teams even more. +zhEMEmYppa8-00226-00242367-00243411 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Supporting professional development and scholarships in the area of interest interdisciplinary research teams science team tax science of data science field. +zhEMEmYppa8-00227-00243489-00244967 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Training librarians and offering educational opportunities related to research practices, perhaps, perhaps even offering internships opportunities for librarians who are fit and train to be on interdisciplinary research teams. +zhEMEmYppa8-00228-00245082-00246414 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Finding the right too much, it's critical. Not all librarians fits to join interdisciplinary research team just as not all researcher researchers fixed to do interdisciplinary research. +zhEMEmYppa8-00229-00246513-00247350 Kineret Ben-Knaan: being conscious of institutional and structural barriers and make efforts to overcome those in creative voice. +zhEMEmYppa8-00230-00247488-00247560 Kineret Ben-Knaan: See, okay. +zhEMEmYppa8-00231-00248208-00248580 Kelly Miller: So, thank you. Thank you, Ken and Angela and James and +zhEMEmYppa8-00232-00248709-00249531 Kelly Miller: The librarians have been called pioneers by university administrators who designed the link program dr john Bixby our former +zhEMEmYppa8-00233-00249582-00250386 Kelly Miller: Vice Provost for research confessed in this local news story that initially. He didn't expect the librarians to become such important you link partners. +zhEMEmYppa8-00234-00250425-00251298 Kelly Miller: But he said, each of them has added content expertise to the team in which he or she is embedded and our teams have reported that the librarians have become a critical aspect of their team. +zhEMEmYppa8-00235-00251430-00251544 Kelly Miller: So what's next. +zhEMEmYppa8-00236-00251889-00252917 Kelly Miller: Our next steps for our you link library and collaboration with the Office of Research involved connecting with our new VP for Research, Dr. Aaron CCO bets a medical +zhEMEmYppa8-00237-00253032-00253452 Kelly Miller: Medical Faculty member to develop the next iteration of the link program. +zhEMEmYppa8-00238-00253509-00254334 Kelly Miller: Aaron's reviewed the data from the first three years, met with faculty researchers who've participated and began to make some adjustments to the program design. +zhEMEmYppa8-00239-00254406-00255105 Kelly Miller: In the current academic year. You think is sponsoring a round of grants focused on the particular theme of social equity. +zhEMEmYppa8-00240-00255156-00255561 Kelly Miller: In response to the call for racial justice. So this year, there's this particular theme. +zhEMEmYppa8-00241-00255603-00256748 Kelly Miller: For this round of grants building off lessons learned, we created a more flexible versatile set of options for the ways that the team can engage with the library and ways for librarians to be involved with the program. +zhEMEmYppa8-00242-00256860-00257973 Kelly Miller: First librarians were invited to serve as expert application reviewers for the interdisciplinary research grant applications and many librarians have expressed appreciation for being included in this way. +zhEMEmYppa8-00243-00258057-00259488 Kelly Miller: Second, instead of being a requirement teams can choose. Now to add an embedded librarian on their teams to have the teams have chosen this path confirming that our three year experiment is bearing fruit teams are opting to have librarians on board. +zhEMEmYppa8-00244-00259602-00261390 Kelly Miller: Third, we are offering a another form of library support for you, Link, beginning in January will be learning from similar programs at Kansas, Minnesota and Michigan and will be offering research sprints to interested teams as a pilot and this model is probably well known to this. +zhEMEmYppa8-00245-00261494-00262245 Kelly Miller: To this audience that were with research Sprint's teams can apply to work with the library on a particular particular challenge, they're facing in their work. +zhEMEmYppa8-00246-00262350-00263160 Kelly Miller: And then teams will receive targeted short term health by selected librarians working together in intensive sessions over the course of two days. +zhEMEmYppa8-00247-00263235-00264846 Kelly Miller: And then finally, thanks to our experimental collaboration with the Office of Research and the link program were beginning to revise our plans for our faculty research comments because we now have new insights about the types of services and spaces that faculty need +zhEMEmYppa8-00248-00264978-00265674 Kelly Miller: So this concludes our presentation we're really grateful for the enthusiastic response. +zhEMEmYppa8-00249-00265803-00266511 Kelly Miller: With your with your the large number of people have attended today or just would love to hear from you about whether +zhEMEmYppa8-00250-00266646-00266883 Kelly Miller: In what ways you're experimenting in this space. +zhEMEmYppa8-00251-00266994-00267720 Kelly Miller: We'd love more conversation about it across institutions. So thank you so much. And now I'll turn it to Diane for Q AMP a +zhEMEmYppa8-00252-00267855-00269037 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Thanks Kelly and thank you to all of our wonderful speakers today. Angela Kinneret and James thanks for that wonderful talk really inspiring. +zhEMEmYppa8-00253-00269223-00271014 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): project going on there at Miami and so pleased that you were able to share that with our community today and as Kelly said, the floor is now open for questions, so please type your questions into the Q AMP a box. +zhEMEmYppa8-00254-00271134-00272547 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): We'd love to hear your, your experience if you have a similar project if you're thinking of doing something like this at your campus or if you have questions about how to get something like this going or what it's what's involved. We'd love to hear it. +zhEMEmYppa8-00255-00272754-00273711 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Clem just chatted in. Thank you for that very interesting work how receptive have librarians been on taking on this type of role. +zhEMEmYppa8-00256-00274113-00274533 Kelly Miller: So, well, I can say a few words and then I'd love for Angela and James +zhEMEmYppa8-00257-00274638-00276135 Kelly Miller: Because this is one of the reasons we include, you know, Angela and James were at the center of the presentation today because we wanted their voices to be to be shared and heard. So actually I i would love instead of me commenting Angela James, would you like to say something. +zhEMEmYppa8-00258-00276180-00276864 Angela Clark Hughes: I think the librarians are very receptive and as James mentioned in his slide. +zhEMEmYppa8-00259-00276978-00278490 Angela Clark Hughes: You link that that model is definitely not for every researcher to do in interdisciplinary research, nor is it really for every library and to be on a you link team. So I think you'll find +zhEMEmYppa8-00260-00278535-00280329 Angela Clark Hughes: Those who really want to roll up their sleeves get involved. Try something new. Learn a lot interact with people who just may they may never come in contact with I think you'll find more than enough willing librarians. +zhEMEmYppa8-00261-00280443-00281250 Angela Clark Hughes: And then you know other people won't be so inclined. But that's the nature of this type of program. +zhEMEmYppa8-00262-00281391-00281919 James Sobczak: Yeah, I can. I basically echo that same sentiment that yet. A lot of librarians have been really enthusiastic about this. +zhEMEmYppa8-00263-00281952-00282441 James Sobczak: And others have been less so. But I think what has kind of been really great about kind of library administration. +zhEMEmYppa8-00264-00282492-00283485 James Sobczak: There's an encouragement to kind of step up and do this work, but there hasn't been pressure to do so. So I feel that library and are really kind of if they want to make this part of their, their daily kind of practice. +zhEMEmYppa8-00265-00283581-00284883 James Sobczak: Is highly encouraged, but again there's been no real pressure to do so. So I just want to say that that's been really kind of beneficial to a lot of people that they didn't feel that they're being forced to do something too much if it was kind of against what they wanted to do so. +zhEMEmYppa8-00266-00285282-00286233 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Thank you for those thoughtful reflections Angela and James and Clem. Thank you for that question. Kelly, did you want to weigh in. +zhEMEmYppa8-00267-00286248-00286298 They go +zhEMEmYppa8-00268-00286404-00286668 Kelly Miller: Angela James You did a great job. +zhEMEmYppa8-00269-00286749-00287577 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): It did make me think also reflecting back on James's comment about imposter syndrome and +zhEMEmYppa8-00270-00287682-00288057 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Killer its report about this gap that exists between +zhEMEmYppa8-00271-00288159-00289941 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Expect expectations and delivery and wondering, you know, in effect, I guess it sort of a self selected bunch of librarians who might step up to some kind of opportunity like this if they either feel like they want to +zhEMEmYppa8-00272-00290142-00291030 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): You know, have a new challenge or if if they feel they have the wherewithal to deal with something like the imposter syndrome and it made me wonder, you know, how might +zhEMEmYppa8-00273-00291135-00292551 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): How might libraries begin to address that gap and help give a little boost of confidence to encourage folks who might not naturally want to step into a role like this. Is that something that you have thought about or addressing +zhEMEmYppa8-00274-00292590-00293493 Kelly Miller: Yeah. And I will say a few words about how we've begun to create some structure around that support so +zhEMEmYppa8-00275-00293595-00295011 Kelly Miller: In the first several years we met monthly as a group of you link librarians to chat, just with ourselves about how things were going. So this was a place that hopefully librarians then could share. Okay, this is what's going while this isn't +zhEMEmYppa8-00276-00295035-00295911 Kelly Miller: This is what's not going well and could have Frank conversations. And what was interesting is Susan Morgan often joined us from the Office of Research +zhEMEmYppa8-00277-00295992-00297624 Kelly Miller: Which created its own kind of dynamic, but then she was learning to we were all learning together. So I think those meetings helped. They didn't solve all the struggles, but at least that that regular opportunity to share, was it was helpful and then +zhEMEmYppa8-00278-00297750-00298431 Kelly Miller: Yes, I'll just pause there but will actually then shift to maybe can would want to say another word or two because +zhEMEmYppa8-00279-00298464-00299166 Kelly Miller: We really do think there's potential here for more professional development opportunities for librarians. So to offer supplementary +zhEMEmYppa8-00280-00299232-00300630 Kelly Miller: Programs, maybe in the summertime, or some of the quieter times in the academic year when maybe librarians could get training our additional education in something like research communication, for example. +zhEMEmYppa8-00281-00300762-00301551 Kelly Miller: Or it could be project management as well, but several topics like are quite intriguing to us around. +zhEMEmYppa8-00282-00301608-00302970 Kelly Miller: Research communication is one James mentioned that he's you know co written an op ed, for example, and we think librarians are really well positioned to be these translators. So those are the kinds of exploratory areas, we'd like to investigate going forward. +zhEMEmYppa8-00283-00303243-00304308 Kineret Ben-Knaan: I would also say that sometimes you need both sides to be open for collaboration and to open the door for librarian to +zhEMEmYppa8-00284-00304365-00305586 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Contribute because you need to, you know, to educate both sides in this group in those groups. Another thing is that also the research agenda. And I think James mentioned that +zhEMEmYppa8-00285-00305676-00306582 Kineret Ben-Knaan: The research agenda needs to be established within the group and they need to have a really good strategy moving forward in order for it to be successful. +zhEMEmYppa8-00286-00306603-00308445 Kineret Ben-Knaan: Not only for the librarians within it and a good experience, but also for the other researchers within that group and we always do reflection of ourselves, but we never think of what are you know individual other individuals in those was if we feel about their contributions, so +zhEMEmYppa8-00287-00308715-00308814 So interesting +zhEMEmYppa8-00288-00308958-00309276 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Thank you for those reflections, they're +zhEMEmYppa8-00289-00309447-00309750 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Reduced I'll have a little more time if there are other questions. +zhEMEmYppa8-00290-00310071-00310812 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): I think I just wanted to ask one more question and then I think we'll probably bring this to a close. I was just wondering, and you may have addressed this, and I apologize if I missed it. +zhEMEmYppa8-00291-00310845-00311565 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): How are library and selected. How does that process work, how do people get to work on these teams. Yeah. +zhEMEmYppa8-00292-00311607-00312954 Kelly Miller: That's a great question. And we've shifted it and learned each year, actually. So the first year we didn't have much time, because there was there was this fortuitous conversation with Susan that kicked everything off so there it was a +zhEMEmYppa8-00293-00313035-00313674 Kelly Miller: Matching trying to so as administrators sitting. Okay, who might be able to be on this team and then +zhEMEmYppa8-00294-00313806-00314133 Kelly Miller: Inviting the librarians. Would you like to try this out. +zhEMEmYppa8-00295-00314274-00315030 Kelly Miller: And and participate in this experiment. So that first one we know that was awkward because the teams didn't get to select +zhEMEmYppa8-00296-00315081-00316149 Kelly Miller: The Librarians really didn't get much time to consider. So we knew that going forward. We needed to be more thoughtful and mindful and plan full about it and then +zhEMEmYppa8-00297-00316242-00317490 Kelly Miller: Ended up with the library with the research teams being asked to invite a librarian to join them. And so then they could issue the invitation and then that helps because then the librarians felt +zhEMEmYppa8-00298-00317595-00318615 Kelly Miller: You know that it came properly the invitation from the PCI of the team. So it's a better way of more respectful way of doing it. +zhEMEmYppa8-00299-00318708-00319650 Kelly Miller: And and that's actually what's holding true this year with the social equity teams. They, in some cases just knew exactly who they already wanted to work with. So +zhEMEmYppa8-00300-00319764-00320955 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Yeah, that's really interesting. Well, thank you again. Kelly James can read Angela terrific project.

We can unmute you. You know, you can sort of approach the podium, if you like, and +zhEMEmYppa8-00303-00322833-00324351 Diane Goldenberg-Hart (CNI): Ask for presenters questions, make some comments have a little chat.

Do you have an example? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00312-00074214-00074454 Lastly, lastly though, with passion, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00313-00074454-00074665 there has to be accountability. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00314-00074753-00075064 So one of my things is when we get that +zkl4XHVOHCg-00315-00075064-00075221 plumbing evaluation charge, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00316-00075221-00075601 let's say we didn't do the job. I need to be called. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00317-00075601-00075866 I personally need to be called. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00318-00075866-00076091 If we're charging a customer plumbing evaluation, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00319-00076091-00076299 because that drives me, nutty +zkl4XHVOHCg-00320-00076299-00076491 because it's like, we're here, we're here to, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00321-00076491-00076587 and I think that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00322-00076587-00076777 That's the driving nuts every single time. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00323-00076777-00076880 If that's part of the culture, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00324-00076880-00076974 Every time. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00325-00076974-00077169 Usually you get it's every single time, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00326-00077169-00077378 that's the big mistake that I make when I'm dealing, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00327-00077378-00077493 talking with men and asking, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00328-00077493-00077618 well, how can I be more better leader +zkl4XHVOHCg-00329-00077618-00077701 and that kind of stuff. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00330-00077701-00077881 Well, we talk about this kind of stuff and +zkl4XHVOHCg-00331-00077881-00078053 what is the culture you're building? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00332-00078053-00078136 What are you passionate about? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00333-00078136-00078256 Do you guys know what dah- dah- dah +zkl4XHVOHCg-00334-00078256-00078414 and then when they don't do it, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00335-00078414-00078624 do you get on it every single time? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00336-00078624-00078823 Every single time. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00337-00078823-00079007 Yeah. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00338-00079007-00079334 And what we've found, go ahead. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00339-00079334-00079446 No, go ahead Bo. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00340-00079446-00079749 What we've found is is a lot of times +zkl4XHVOHCg-00341-00079749-00080031 you don't really have to rip into a guy, it's a matter of, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00342-00080031-00080249 it's a matter of setting up an establishment +zkl4XHVOHCg-00343-00080249-00080391 of making them answer for it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00344-00080391-00080755 The reality matter is guys don't wanna have to answer +zkl4XHVOHCg-00345-00080755-00080978 for things that they know they've done wrong. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00346-00080978-00081234 So you don't like what I teach, what I teach +zkl4XHVOHCg-00347-00081234-00081496 our management side, 'cause we've got managers +zkl4XHVOHCg-00348-00081496-00081681 that deal over our guys because we make sure that +zkl4XHVOHCg-00349-00081681-00081903 every one of these things gets answered for. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00350-00081903-00082120 So we have managers in place and we call it +zkl4XHVOHCg-00351-00082120-00082282 stepping on the sparks and the grass, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00352-00082282-00082484 because we don't want it to get to forest fire level. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00353-00082484-00082821 We don't wanna get to a grass fire level. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00354-00082821-00083022 We wanna deal with it the smallest level possible. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00355-00083022-00083183 We don't even wanna campfire outta control. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00356-00083183-00083422 We want spark in the grass dealt with. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00357-00083422-00083598 And so we make guys the answer for things +zkl4XHVOHCg-00358-00083598-00083681 at the smallest level. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00359-00083681-00083919 So we preach these things nonstop, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00360-00083919-00084194 but then we put managers in place who deal with them +zkl4XHVOHCg-00361-00084194-00084445 and make guys answer at every single level, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00362-00084445-00084589 make guys answer for it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00363-00084589-00084736 But what they're looking for +zkl4XHVOHCg-00364-00084736-00085010 is they're looking for answering it to the positive. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00365-00085010-00085093 Yes, I did that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00366-00085093-00085176 Here's how I did that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00367-00085176-00085303 It was great that I did that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00368-00085303-00085491 And then now you get to pump a guy up +zkl4XHVOHCg-00369-00085491-00085698 and make a big deal about it to the other guys +zkl4XHVOHCg-00370-00085698-00085949 that this guy's doing this and this guy's doing this +zkl4XHVOHCg-00371-00085949-00086045 and this guy's doing this. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00372-00086045-00086467 And really build that positive side of that culture up. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00373-00086467-00086701 It really is a matter of having the passion, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00374-00086701-00086824 the belief and what you're doing. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00375-00086824-00087219 But then making that answer at each individual step +zkl4XHVOHCg-00376-00087219-00087638 to where a guy can't can't get two or three or four, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00377-00087638-00087754 of these things outta line +zkl4XHVOHCg-00378-00087754-00088112 without having to at least give the answer for it, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00379-00088112-00088238 big or small. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00380-00088238-00088328 I love that Bo. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00381-00088328-00088438 Yeah, I like the metrics. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00382-00088438-00088560 Love the metrics. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00383-00088560-00088825 Right, and I love the emotion behind it too, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00384-00088825-00089151 that the nugget of gold there that I took from that, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00385-00089151-00089308 which is very important that I wanna make sure +zkl4XHVOHCg-00386-00089308-00089586 everyone went heard as well was not only the metrics, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00387-00089586-00089861 but the idea of catching the guys +zkl4XHVOHCg-00388-00089861-00090012 that are doing the right things. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00389-00090012-00090299 I mentioned I'd be on it, see me lose my cool, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00390-00090299-00090614 but what worked, even if we had a job that went south +zkl4XHVOHCg-00391-00090614-00090850 and the guys still took responsibility for it, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00392-00090850-00091091 even though it cost us money, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00393-00091478-00091705 And everything but he made, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00394-00091705-00091850 even if he made some mistakes +zkl4XHVOHCg-00395-00091850-00091972 in his decision making process, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00396-00091972-00092284 but that he took responsibility at the meeting, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00397-00092284-00092583 he would, I would lift him up like, hey, way to go. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00398-00092583-00092878 you were being slaughtered, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00399-00092878-00093171 but you didn't run and hide, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00400-00093171-00093384 you kept with it and way to go +zkl4XHVOHCg-00401-00093384-00093652 way to serve the customer. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00402-00093652-00093735 And that's important. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00403-00093735-00093866 I think metrics and accountability +zkl4XHVOHCg-00404-00093866-00094025 like you were just talking about. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00405-00094025-00094143 And like you say, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00406-00094143-00094323 anytime that you're sitting down with any metrics +zkl4XHVOHCg-00407-00094323-00094555 and that's something that we're actually diving into, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00408-00094555-00094667 we're starting to use Service Titan, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00409-00094667-00094911 like really diving into the stuff Lindsay's +zkl4XHVOHCg-00410-00094911-00095162 all into the map now she's getting into, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00411-00095162-00095423 but like sitting down with those technicians and saying +zkl4XHVOHCg-00412-00095423-00095584 like, these are the numbers. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00413-00095584-00095719 The numbers don't lie, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00414-00095719-00095944 like your conversions and things like that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00415-00095944-00096027 Driving those metrics home. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00416-00096027-00096278 And then of course like when they get in a win, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00417-00096278-00096395 you wanna let them know. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00418-00096395-00096550 That's the most important thing is definitely, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00419-00096550-00096748 encouraging good behavior +zkl4XHVOHCg-00420-00096748-00097037 is a big part of developing people. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00421-00097037-00097406 So definitely I think that's very, very +zkl4XHVOHCg-00422-00097406-00097520 important part of it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00423-00097520-00097630 Something I wanted to say +zkl4XHVOHCg-00424-00097630-00097889 when you guys were talking about the passion +zkl4XHVOHCg-00425-00097889-00098154 is I think that, and this is something I wrote out. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00426-00098154-00098243 'Cause I wanted to make notes. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00427-00098243-00098453 I knew we were doing this and +zkl4XHVOHCg-00428-00098453-00098608 you wanna reflect and think, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00429-00098608-00098767 what is the culture of your business? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00430-00098767-00099008 You wanna think you got some great ideas +zkl4XHVOHCg-00431-00099008-00099125 or something, right? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00432-00099125-00099447 And I believe that your business should +zkl4XHVOHCg-00433-00099447-00099636 have a feeling of going somewhere +zkl4XHVOHCg-00434-00099636-00099793 with, or without your team. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00435-00099793-00099960 You want them to be a part of something +zkl4XHVOHCg-00436-00099960-00100069 that they know like, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00437-00100069-00100461 like they're gonna be doing this with or without me, right? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00438-00100461-00100791 So I think having that kind of the business, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00439-00100791-00101107 well, the business it's moving. And like, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00440-00101107-00101333 I'll come in and they'll be new option templates up +zkl4XHVOHCg-00441-00101333-00101551 and things shaking and baking, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00442-00101551-00101674 4:30 in the morning, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00443-00101674-00101858 I'll be, you know what I mean?

job trailers that we dropped +zkl4XHVOHCg-00592-00136606-00136775 on sites to move around. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00593-00136775-00136996 So it wasn't as much, trucks wasn't +zkl4XHVOHCg-00594-00136996-00137299 isn't an adequate measure necessarily for where we were at. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00595-00137299-00137449 But yeah, we mean, we were, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00596-00137449-00137768 we were really turning stuff. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00597-00137768-00137851 That's for sure. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00598-00137851-00138067 But while we were turning lots of revenue, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00599-00138067-00138267 we weren't keeping any of it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00600-00138267-00138642 And to be honest with you, the culture was, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00601-00138735-00139002 I don't know, that bad is a good enough word for it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00602-00139002-00139306 I mean the culture was to a point of, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00603-00139306-00139600 I'd be hyperventilating Monday morning +zkl4XHVOHCg-00604-00139600-00139769 before I go out to the shop because I knew +zkl4XHVOHCg-00605-00139769-00139973 it was gonna be a battle just to get people +zkl4XHVOHCg-00606-00139973-00140111 to do what they were gonna do. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00607-00140111-00140388 And I don't have problems confronting people +zkl4XHVOHCg-00608-00140388-00140496 and dealing with things. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00609-00140496-00140720 It was to the point, it was just, I mean, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00610-00140720-00140980 Throwing up all night, Saturday night +zkl4XHVOHCg-00611-00140980-00141153 because of the stress levels of it, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00612-00141153-00141384 dealing with people, culture was terrible. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00613-00141384-00141669 And so you ask, what would I tell +zkl4XHVOHCg-00614-00141669-00141990 a one truck guy going up from there, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00615-00141990-00142446 recruit often, fire anyone that doesn't fit your culture. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00616-00142446-00142748 No mercy, no hold back. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00617-00142748-00143009 If they don't fit your culture, they're out. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00618-00143009-00143319 If they do fit your culture feed them, spoil them, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00619-00143319-00143589 take care of them, build them up, do all that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00620-00143589-00143968 But if they don't fit, you're not doing anybody any favors, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00621-00143968-00144163 yourself or them by holding them. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00622-00144163-00144411 Let them find someplace where they do fit. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00623-00144411-00144770 Because if they don't fit, they should not be with you. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00624-00144770-00145018 It's gonna hurt you and them really in all honesty. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00625-00145018-00145186 Most of my guys that moved on +zkl4XHVOHCg-00626-00145186-00145459 are actually doing better where they are now +zkl4XHVOHCg-00627-00145459-00145785 because they're in a place +zkl4XHVOHCg-00628-00145785-00145972 that fits the culture they wanna be in. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00629-00145972-00146162 And now we've brought in new people +zkl4XHVOHCg-00630-00146162-00146404 that fit the culture where we wanna be. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00631-00146404-00146487 Works great. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00632-00146487-00146591 Perfect, huge. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00633-00146591-00146793 I think fitting in, buying into your values too. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00634-00146793-00146953 Buy into your company values. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00635-00146953-00147198 So as soon as you can find out any type of value, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00636-00147198-00147467 your company values are a reflection of you. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00637-00147467-00147747 So the reason why your business is successful, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00638-00147747-00147887 even if you are one guy in a truck, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00639-00147887-00148166 it's what you are channeling through the customer. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00640-00148166-00148337 So you have to learn how to replicate that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00641-00148337-00148609 And it's typically a handful of values +zkl4XHVOHCg-00642-00148609-00148846 that are important for you. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00643-00148846-00149164 And you need to define that quickly as quick as you can. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00644-00149164-00149342 It evolves over time. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00645-00149342-00149445 And then you wanna find people +zkl4XHVOHCg-00646-00149445-00149644 that will buy into that, right? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00647-00149644-00150001 So like one of ours is know the code, apply the code, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00648-00150001-00150088 or just things like that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00649-00150088-00150229 It's important to me to know +zkl4XHVOHCg-00650-00150229-00150371 that you're making sure you're doing the stuff, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00651-00150371-00150593 the plumbing code or whatever that is. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00652-00150593-00150899 Educate the customer, whatever your value is, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00653-00150899-00151035 but get your values in line +zkl4XHVOHCg-00654-00151035-00151239 and then make sure those people are buying into that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00655-00151239-00151437 And then you, it's gonna be much easier +zkl4XHVOHCg-00656-00151437-00151693 to keep those people on and grow, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00657-00151693-00151893 'cause at least they're buying into what +zkl4XHVOHCg-00658-00151893-00152035 is important to you. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00659-00152035-00152419 I love, and DW you do very, very good as well as, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00660-00152419-00152757 as sayings, so Matt, you know the sayings as well, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00661-00152757-00152945 all of you have the good sayings, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00662-00152945-00153129 but that saying thing's important. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00663-00153129-00153373 Like I like know the code, apply the code, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00664-00153373-00153641 that these simple little things like, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00665-00153641-00153916 my thing here with MDP, you guys know me, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00666-00153916-00154162 have some saying it ain't about plumbing. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00667-00154162-00154533 Well, that comes from me telling my guys for years, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00668-00154533-00154750 which is pointing towards our culture. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00669-00154750-00154915 It ain't about plumbing. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00670-00154915-00155084 It's about taking care of Mrs. Jones. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00671-00155084-00155246 It ain't about plumbing. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00672-00155246-00155415 So, having coming up with +zkl4XHVOHCg-00673-00155415-00155647 some your own personal sayings +zkl4XHVOHCg-00674-00155647-00156063 within your company that state what your culture is +zkl4XHVOHCg-00675-00156063-00156244 in a fun way like that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00676-00156244-00156442 We give options, never ultimatums. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00677-00156442-00156530 That's another one. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00678-00156530-00156894 So options is part of the inception acronym, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00679-00156894-00157115 options was something that's really important to us +zkl4XHVOHCg-00680-00157115-00157284 as something that we've been trained on +zkl4XHVOHCg-00681-00157284-00157539 from the inception of our company, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00682-00157539-00157761 the options, options, options. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00683-00157761-00158128 So, it's, "we give options, never ultimatums." +zkl4XHVOHCg-00684-00158128-00158342 So it's just a big deal for our company. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00685-00158342-00158599 So if people come in and they buy into that, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00686-00158599-00158800 are they willing to work your systems +zkl4XHVOHCg-00687-00158800-00158984 and do what you ask of them, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00688-00158984-00159105 then you're gonna be better off. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00689-00159105-00159249 So make sure like out the gate, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00690-00159249-00159361 when you're filling these people out, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00691-00159361-00159619 if they're not buying into what you're trying to do, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00692-00159619-00159765 then they're probably not gonna be a good fit. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00693-00159765-00159988 You give them some feedback +zkl4XHVOHCg-00694-00159988-00160198 and if they change, that's great. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00695-00160198-00160344 But that's important +zkl4XHVOHCg-00696-00160344-00160465 that they buy into your values. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00697-00160465-00160637 Know what your values are, what's important. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00698-00160637-00160863 Right on, right on, right on. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00699-00160863-00160997 Go ahead Bo. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00700-00160997-00161309 A lot of it comes down to the kind of recruiting you do. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00701-00161309-00161764 If you see your recruiting as a sales, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00702-00161764-00161933 and you see it as you're selling +zkl4XHVOHCg-00703-00161933-00162318 to an avatar technician and you really, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00704-00162318-00162726 really sell that culture well into the early parts, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00705-00162726-00162948 you're recruiting, then all the way into your onboarding +zkl4XHVOHCg-00706-00162948-00163199 you'll bring people in that are excited about it, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00707-00163199-00163401 whether it's because it's what they already believe +zkl4XHVOHCg-00708-00163401-00163635 or if it's because they're looking for something new. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00709-00163635-00163876 And that's what I was wondering too, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00710-00163876-00164077 with the techs that you've got +zkl4XHVOHCg-00711-00164077-00164234 that really have bought into the culture. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00712-00164234-00164526 Do they identity find somebody that comes in, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00713-00164526-00164683 maybe not, that's not a good fit +zkl4XHVOHCg-00714-00164683-00164850 and they don't wanna tarnish the culture. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00715-00164850-00164933 Have you experienced? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00716-00164933-00165179 I had a guy last a week. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00717-00165179-00165359 I had a guy last one week and I +zkl4XHVOHCg-00718-00165359-00165537 'cause zero, zero outta five. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00719-00165537-00165802 And I never, the guy would always, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00720-00165802-00165947 blow smoke in my face. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00721-00165947-00166077 Oh, I want be a team player, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00722-00166077-00166340 I wanna be this I've been plumbing for 20 years. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00723-00166340-00166516 I'm like, "now, go ride with this employee, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00724-00166516-00166631 go ride with that." +zkl4XHVOHCg-00725-00166631-00166808 And every single one came back they said, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00726-00166808-00167050 I have a weird feeling about this guy. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00727-00167050-00167305 Don't keep him, don't keep him. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00728-00167305-00167431 And sure enough, at the end of the week +zkl4XHVOHCg-00729-00167431-00167532 I sat them down and I said, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00730-00167532-00167693 hey, I just, I don't know what it is, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00731-00167693-00167913 but you're not a good fit here. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00732-00167913-00168359 And I listened to my plumbers and they saw that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00733-00168359-00168753 And we grew closer because of that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00734-00168753-00168997 Because it's like, this is our, this isn't just my baby. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00735-00168997-00169080 This is our baby. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00736-00169080-00169163 That's why it's not called +zkl4XHVOHCg-00737-00169163-00169410 Matt Delaney plumbing incorporated. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00738-00169410-00169519 It's Mountaineer. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00739-00169519-00169797 Mountaineers build this image. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00740-00169797-00170005 Mountaineers aren't one person. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00741-00170005-00170191 It's a team that gets up the mountain. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00742-00170191-00170400 People don't climb mountains by themselves. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00743-00170400-00170483 It's a team. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00744-00170483-00170640 We all take ourselves up to mountain. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00745-00170640-00170875 That's why I love the image of Mountaineer. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00746-00170875-00171027 That's why I named it Mountaineer. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00747-00171027-00171123 That's good. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00748-00171123-00171255 I love it when people ask me, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00749-00171255-00171461 because I don't have any mountains in west Michigan. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00750-00171813-00172032 There's some hills, you can ski some hills, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00751-00172032-00172146 but there's no mountains. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00752-00172146-00172374 It's hard to bike up sometimes. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00753-00172560-00172776 Oh, good stuff guys. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00754-00172776-00173010 Culture is so, so, so important. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00755-00173010-00173387 And so vital to the success of your plumbing business. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00756-00173387-00173747 And these guys, you guys. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00757-00173747-00173835 Has figured out a thing or two. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00758-00173835-00174123 Are doing a great job at it and really appreciate it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00759-00174123-00174285 We're always improving it too, right? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00760-00174285-00174368 We're always improving. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00761-00174368-00174660 There's pieces, there's areas of your business +zkl4XHVOHCg-00762-00174660-00174876 that might have a, not a great culture, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00763-00174876-00175051 or something that's not perfect, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00764-00175051-00175278 but you do this really well. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00765-00175278-00175565 So you're always evolving too, so it's. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00766-00175565-00175683 That's a good point. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00767-00175683-00175935 DW is as close to perfect as you can get though. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00768-00175935-00176018 That's true. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00769-00176165-00176249 If I can get it in a spreadsheet, we're good to go. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00770-00176519-00176628 If I can get it in a spreadsheet, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00771-00176628-00176763 but if I can't get it in a spreadsheet, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00772-00176763-00176932 people don't go in spreadsheets man, so. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00773-00176932-00177097 No, sadly, right. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00774-00177097-00177393 Well, my take takeaway is, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00775-00177393-00177624 it has to be clear with... +zkl4XHVOHCg-00776-00177624-00177761 metric, it has to be measured. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00777-00177761-00178022 It helps with the guys, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00778-00178022-00178264 passion was a word that was laid out here. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00779-00178264-00178589 you gotta gotta be passionate about it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00780-00178589-00178885 And the culture is just, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00781-00178970-00179149 and it's something you gotta be on person. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00782-00179149-00179270 You gotta bring it yourself. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00783-00179270-00179506 I think one of you mentioned that as well. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00784-00179506-00179824 I remember one of you saying that you gotta bring it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00785-00179824-00180044 They're not gonna bring, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00786-00180044-00180230 your guys just aren't gonna do it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00787-00180230-00180552 And so you gotta be about it and be on it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00788-00180552-00180646 Absolutely. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00789-00180646-00180729 Can I speak to that one more? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00790-00180729-00180864 One more thing is, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00791-00180864-00181055 those values, like I was talking about, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00792-00181055-00181407 a lot of people grow their businesses and sell them off +zkl4XHVOHCg-00793-00181407-00181687 and I know Richard done done that, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00794-00181687-00181953 but you had some values that you probably have in the wall +zkl4XHVOHCg-00795-00181953-00182175 and now they're just words on the wall. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00796-00182175-00182383 So having the owner behind the business, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00797-00182383-00182696 as it scales up and defining what is important +zkl4XHVOHCg-00798-00182696-00182867 and what the values are that's +zkl4XHVOHCg-00799-00182867-00183233 went from that one guy in a truck to multiple, right? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00800-00183233-00183588 It's important to have those values on the wall +zkl4XHVOHCg-00801-00183588-00183671 and own up to them. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00802-00183671-00183892 If not, they just become words on the wall. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00803-00183892-00184050 That's when you sell your business, they will, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00804-00184050-00184198 DW, I'm glad you brought that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00805-00184198-00184698 It just emphasizes the importance of how we the owner +zkl4XHVOHCg-00806-00184829-00185027 have to bring it and be all about it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00807-00185027-00185122 'Cause I can tell you, I use, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00808-00185122-00185321 I use my company as an example, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00809-00185321-00185633 we built this up and did really well, we sold it. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00810-00185633-00185846 The company is a shell of itself now +zkl4XHVOHCg-00811-00185846-00186121 because the new owners didn't have the same values +zkl4XHVOHCg-00812-00186121-00186409 and the same passion, the same culture. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00813-00186409-00186569 In fact, they didn't build a, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00814-00186569-00186802 they were riding just the name of Attaboy +zkl4XHVOHCg-00815-00186802-00186974 plumbing and reputation. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00816-00186974-00187260 Reputation starts coasting down. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00817-00187260-00187481 I mean, you can't, that's not what, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00818-00187481-00187699 and these words on the wall are just words on the wall. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00819-00187699-00187843 There just words on the wall. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00820-00187843-00187931 They're just words on the wall. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00821-00187931-00188063 They gotta mean something. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00822-00188063-00188190 Those values, they gotta buy into that stuff. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00823-00188190-00188320 And if those people gotta fit your values, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00824-00188320-00188565 whatever those are, you gotta define that yourself. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00825-00188565-00188760 It takes time, it's gonna take time to define your values. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00826-00188760-00188958 You don't even know what that is. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00827-00188958-00189068 Like when you're starting out. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00828-00189068-00189289 But you know the things that are important to you +zkl4XHVOHCg-00829-00189289-00189576 and what customer services and how you get the job done +zkl4XHVOHCg-00830-00189576-00189796 end to end happy customer and putting money in the bank. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00831-00189796-00189956 So how do you replicate that? +zkl4XHVOHCg-00832-00189956-00190170 Well, you have to project what it is that you do +zkl4XHVOHCg-00833-00190170-00190336 your values to your people, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00834-00190336-00190460 and then they gotta buy into that. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00835-00190460-00190617 And they just can't be words on the wall. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00836-00190617-00190796 Right, that's a, that is a great, +zkl4XHVOHCg-00837-00190796-00190955 we're gonna end right there +zkl4XHVOHCg-00838-00190955-00191189 'cause that's a great place to end. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00839-00191189-00191364 Boom, mic drop. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00840-00191468-00191551 Love our Masters. +zkl4XHVOHCg-00841-00191551-00191761 Yeah, I love you guys.

+ZopJjXEvO1I-00000-00000434-00000821 Hi everyone! My name is Morgan, and I work for Worthington Libraries. It's almost summer +ZopJjXEvO1I-00001-00000821-00001487 time, and we know you have a lot of fun things planned – vacations, video games, sleeping, +ZopJjXEvO1I-00002-00001487-00001909 but don't forget about the library.

We're +ZopJjXEvO1I-00011-00007747-00008349 doing something new this year, too.

Each week we'll +ZopJjXEvO1I-00013-00008831-00009328 have a new challenge posted for you, and each week you have a chance to complete that challenge +ZopJjXEvO1I-00014-00009328-00009899 and be entered to win our weekly raffle prize.

We will be hosting monarch butterflies again +ZopJjXEvO1I-00019-00011809-00012438 this summer. Old Worthington and +ZopJjXEvO1I-00020-00012438-00013126 Northwest Library will have wolves. REAL WOLVES. The Turtle Lady will be at Old Worthington +ZopJjXEvO1I-00021-00013126-00015197 for an after-hours program in June, farm animals are visiting Northwest in July, and penguins +ZopJjXEvO1I-00022-00015197-00015866 are coming to Old Worthington in August. If animals aren't your thing, how about music? +ZopJjXEvO1I-00023-00015866-00016428 We're having a family drum circle at Worthington Park Library in June +ZopJjXEvO1I-00024-00016428-00017168 and campfire songs and games in July. +ZopJjXEvO1I-00025-00017168-00017803 We have a science program from The Ohio State University and a drawing program and a juggler. +ZopJjXEvO1I-00026-00017803-00018169 We have something for everyone! +ZopJjXEvO1I-00027-00018169-00018683 Or maybe you just want to sit back and read. We're cool with +ZopJjXEvO1I-00028-00018683-00019449 that. There are so many new books coming out! The creator of "Dork Diaries" is coming +ZopJjXEvO1I-00029-00019449-00019796 out with a new series, "The Misadventures of Max Crumbly." The first book is called +ZopJjXEvO1I-00030-00019796-00020192 "Locker Hero." Avi's got +ZopJjXEvO1I-00031-00020192-00020974 a new ghost story, "School of the Dead." Like "Upside-Down Magic" by Sarah Mlynowski? +ZopJjXEvO1I-00032-00020974-00021592 The sequel, "Sticks and Stones" is on its way. There's a new Jedi Academy book +ZopJjXEvO1I-00033-00021592-00022322 starring a whole new class of kids. Coming it is, on July 26th. The genius mind behind +ZopJjXEvO1I-00034-00022322-00023331 "Wedigeman," Bob Shea, has a new book with Jory John called "Quit Calling Me a +ZopJjXEvO1I-00035-00023331-00024210 Monster." National Geographic Kids has "Diving with Sharks" coming out. Now THERE'S an +ZopJjXEvO1I-00036-00024210-00024729 idea for a library program. Hmmm…like these biographies? There are four new ones coming +ZopJjXEvO1I-00037-00024729-00025317 out this summer. So much to read, so little time! +ZopJjXEvO1I-00038-00025317-00026902 And I'm out of time. I've got a lot of reading to do, and I need a snack. See you +ZopJjXEvO1I-00039-00026902-00028302 this summer at Camp Read S'more! +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00000-00000008-00000352 So, what happens to carbonates when they're exposed to arid conditions, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00001-00000352-00000744 and the fluid is evaporated, and so concentrated +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00002-00000744-00001448 in different ionic species? Some place where you have a high aridity, very hot, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00003-00001448-00002080 and maybe one of the largest reservoir in the world would be ideal for this class? Can you +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00004-00002080-00002984 guess where I'm bringing you next? If your answer is the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you are correct. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00005-00004608-00005272 When the general public thinks about petroleum and oil and gas, they often think about Saudi Arabia. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00006-00005272-00006016 This is the “Kingdom of Oil”, if you want, and it's true it contains some of the largest oil and +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00007-00006016-00006704 gas reservoirs in the world, including Ghawar, the number one top large reservoir for oil, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00008-00006704-00007440 at least. So, it is a fascinating place to visit and the geology at the surface is also absolutely +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00009-00007440-00008023 incredible. The reason we're here actually is because of the Arab Formations, which contain +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00010-00008023-00008688 so much oil, but they crop out at the surface, as you can see. Now, the Arab Formations are famous +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00011-00008688-00009408 for having carbonate sandwiched with evaporites. And, of course, the carbonate is a great reservoir +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00012-00009408-00009984 and the evaporite is a great seal. But, behind me in that cliff, can you see the evaporite? No, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00013-00010048-00010616 you can't see any evaporite because it has been dissolved. In fact, if you look closely +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00014-00010616-00011464 at the cliff, you can see that there's a bit of a chaos going on. And, it's because the Arab B has +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00015-00011464-00012024 collapsed over the Arab C, so now these two Arab Formations, or rather the limestone members of +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00016-00012024-00012608 these Arab Formations, are in contact. And, that's because the evaporite layer that separated them, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00017-00012680-00013168 or it still separates them in a subsurface, has been eroded at the outcrop where we stand +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00018-00013168-00013984 here today. But, you can imagine that at time of deposition to form those evaporative seals, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00019-00013984-00014719 you needed to have a high evaporative regime. So, you had a high potential for diagenetic processes +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00020-00014776-00015368 linked to evaporative conditions. And, this is the reason this class is taking place in Saudi Arabia, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00021-00015368-00016032 because we'll see some beautiful examples of that. At outcrop, you can still see some of the +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00022-00016032-00016744 evaporite, in fact you can see the Hith Formation, which is the last stage of evaporite deposition +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00023-00016744-00017296 in the Jurassic and is the ultimate seal for the Arab Formation. But, to do this you need to go in +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00024-00017392-00018000 the cave known as Dahl Hith, and hence the name of the formation. And here, you can see the entrance +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00025-00018000-00018768 of the cave and at the top of the cave you see this this gypsum layer, typical gypsum with lots +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00026-00018768-00019536 of nodules in it, and that is typical for gypsum deposited in Sabkha settings. Sabkha we will see is +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00027-00019536-00020304 a continental type of deposit that can be, or often is, coastal, very close to the ocean. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00028-00020464-00020936 So, let's look a little bit at the chemistry of seawater during evaporation. This has +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00029-00020936-00021512 been known for a long time. Here's an example from Friedman and Sanders, published in 1978. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00030-00021512-00022152 On the vertical axis you have the density of the fluid in grams per cubic centimetre of +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00031-00022216-00022784 fluid, and on the horizontal axis you have the proportion of the initial fluids remaining. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00032-00022784-00023440 Now, this is an experiment done with seawater. And, you can see the evolution of +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00033-00023440-00023848 the precipitate from that seawater, and the evolution of the density of that fluid. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00034-00023928-00024496 So, it's obvious we start here at about half of the seawater remaining, a little bit more +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00035-00024496-00025032 than half of the seawater remaining, and we go down to about one percent of the seawater +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00036-00025032-00025720 remaining. And, the first observation is that we're concentrating ions in that water. And, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00037-00025720-00026520 we see this because the density of this water is increasing tremendously from 1 all the way to 1.3. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00038-00026608-00027272 And, the precipitates that we see follow a logical sequence; they're always the same in the same sequence +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00039-00027272-00027824 and have different abundances. So first, we have the iron oxides, which represent +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00040-00027824-00028488 a relatively small volume of precipitate, that's why there's just a thin black line on the diagram. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00041-00028552-00029144 Then, we have calcium carbonate that starts to precipitate, so calcium carbonate can precipitate +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00042-00029144-00029783 as a chemical sediment if you evaporate seawater. And, we've seen an example of this when we looked +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00043-00029783-00030360 at the Guadalupian and we saw those tepee structures, and I told you “hey, it's cement that pushed the +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00044-00030360-00030895 tepee structure up during evaporation", that's a good example of calcium carbonate precipitating. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00045-00030952-00031336 And, you can see that first the volume of calcium carbonate precipitating is relatively +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00046-00031336-00032039 low, but at a fraction of seawater remaining of 0.2, so that means that you only have 20% +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00047-00032039-00032592 of seawater remaining, we start to have a large volume of calcium carbonate that precipitates. +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00048-00032592-00033192 At some point, we stop precipitating calcium carbonates, because we've exhausted the carbonate +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00049-00033256-00033968 pool of the seawater. Then what happens is that you start to precipitate a calcium sulphate, so +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00050-00033968-00034592 it's gypsum calcium sulphate that is precipitated next in the sequence. And, once you've exhausted +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00051-00034592-00035240 this, towards the end of that process, finally we start to have precipitation of what we term the +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00052-00035240-00036200 salt so NaCl, halite, the table salt. And, of course, that represents a very large volume of +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00053-00036200-00036712 the precipitate. But, it comes relatively late in that evaporation process, it comes at about +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00054-00036712-00037224 five percent of seawater volume remaining. So, you really need to evaporate quite a lot before +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00055-00037224-00037776 you start having halite. That's why, if you look at a basin that is filled with evaporite, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00056-00037776-00038424 it's more often the case that you will find calcite precipitate associated with gypsum, lots +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00057-00038424-00039016 of gypsum like the Hith formation. And, it's more difficult to get halite, although in Saudi Arabia, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00058-00039016-00039632 here in the the position of the Hith, you find in the centre of the basin some proper halite. So, +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00059-00039632-00040512 that means that the evaporation process went all the way to halite deposition. And, notice also +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00060-00040512-00041088 that once you get to these very, very high degrees of evaporation you can get more exotic minerals +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00061-00041088-00041832 like magnesium sulphate or you can have sylvite, a KCl precipitate, which is also a salt that is +Z4RB2vxkaPc-00062-00041832-00042900 used for its potassium content so as a source for fertilisers, for instance, and a number of other species. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00000-00000048-00000343 In this video i'm going to talk about why I +Z5JzVtabcfE-00001-00000343-00000712 invested a hundred thousand dollars in a stock market +Z5JzVtabcfE-00002-00000712-00001112 to cover my health care cost in retirement.

So let's dive right in and talk about +Z5JzVtabcfE-00008-00003392-00003736 why I'm on this journey. I was doing some research and +Z5JzVtabcfE-00009-00003736-00004071 I learned from a study by Fidelity and I talk about it in the +Z5JzVtabcfE-00010-00004071-00004400 Key Retirement Pitfalls video here about how Fidelity +Z5JzVtabcfE-00011-00004400-00004971 did a study and it showed that a couple that retires at 67 would need +Z5JzVtabcfE-00012-00004971-00005464 $245, 000 to pay for health care costs and that +Z5JzVtabcfE-00013-00005464-00005880 kind of freaked me out. So it got me doing some more research and as i did +Z5JzVtabcfE-00014-00005880-00006168 more research, I noticed that Fidelity actually had an +Z5JzVtabcfE-00015-00006168-00006604 updated study and it showed that the couple would need +Z5JzVtabcfE-00016-00006604-00007184 $295, 000 if they retired in 2020 in order to cover their health care +Z5JzVtabcfE-00017-00007184-00007568 costs so then i was looking at some other studies +Z5JzVtabcfE-00018-00007568-00007992 and there was one from Health View Services Financial, which talked +Z5JzVtabcfE-00019-00007992-00008520 about a 65 year old couple needing 387 +Z5JzVtabcfE-00020-00008520-00008832 dollars in retirement for health care costs. Those +Z5JzVtabcfE-00021-00008832-00009400 numbers were so alarming that they immediately spurred me into action. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00022-00009400-00009952 I had a retirement account which I have had it for a number of years it was +Z5JzVtabcfE-00023-00009952-00010415 just one of those IRAs which i it initially opened when i +Z5JzVtabcfE-00024-00010415-00010896 was able to get a tax deduction and then once I got phased out of that, I +Z5JzVtabcfE-00025-00010896-00011160 just never really put much in it. Every couple of +Z5JzVtabcfE-00026-00011160-00011511 years I would put some money in it and it was at about $16,000. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00027-00011511-00011879 Then I had a retirement plan which I had rolled over. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00028-00011879-00012264 I started that retirement plan in my early twenties, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00029-00012264-00012615 and then I added another one on to it and it was around ninety two thousand +Z5JzVtabcfE-00030-00012615-00013063 dollars. I had not been actively managing it. when I read this +Z5JzVtabcfE-00031-00013063-00013536 study, what I decided to do was that I was going to take that $92,000 +Z5JzVtabcfE-00032-00013536-00013919 and i was going to put it with this %16,000 +Z5JzVtabcfE-00033-00013919-00014256 that I had and really start actively investing it, and +Z5JzVtabcfE-00034-00014256-00014616 earmarking it for my healthcare savings account, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00035-00014616-00015016 so that it's not commingled with my retirement plans. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00036-00015016-00015423 We already have long-term care, so we knew that we were okay with +Z5JzVtabcfE-00037-00015423-00015776 long-term care, but never in my wildest imagination had +Z5JzVtabcfE-00038-00015776-00016112 i realized that i would have to be paying so much +Z5JzVtabcfE-00039-00016112-00016487 for health care costs. i didn't realize the gap was so large. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00040-00016487-00016840 i segregated it from my other retirement plan because i already have my +Z5JzVtabcfE-00041-00016840-00017144 retirement number. i want to be able to see how i'm doing +Z5JzVtabcfE-00042-00017144-00017551 with this health care cost. I'm only actively investing it in the stock +Z5JzVtabcfE-00043-00017551-00017992 market. i have bought some ETFs as well. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00044-00017992-00018359 When i started out i did this at the beginning of August, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00045-00018359-00018712 I said I was going to leave twenty thousand dollars and +Z5JzVtabcfE-00046-00018712-00019095 for liquidity because the stock market is so uncertain +Z5JzVtabcfE-00047-00019095-00019423 right now and i figure if there is a big drop in +Z5JzVtabcfE-00048-00019423-00019695 the stock market I want to have that money +Z5JzVtabcfE-00049-00019695-00020040 to be able to buy some additional stocks. I don't have twenty thousand dollars in +Z5JzVtabcfE-00050-00020040-00020240 cash anymore. I have around ten thousand +Z5JzVtabcfE-00051-00020240-00020487 dollars and I plan to leave it at the ten thousand dollars +Z5JzVtabcfE-00052-00020487-00020895 for at least another couple months and see what happens with the stock market. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00053-00020895-00021312 I like to have liquidity in my portfolio so any one of my stock portfolios +Z5JzVtabcfE-00054-00021312-00021584 there's always some cash laying around for some good +Z5JzVtabcfE-00055-00021584-00021959 discounted stock. So i have seventy thousand dollars which i have +Z5JzVtabcfE-00056-00021959-00022576 invested in high quality stocks that I would invest in in my regular portfolio +Z5JzVtabcfE-00057-00022576-00022815 and stocks that i know that I can hold for +Z5JzVtabcfE-00058-00022815-00023223 the long term. I don't have to worry. Then i have the ten +Z5JzVtabcfE-00059-00023223-00023584 thousand dollars in cash which i'm leaving there in case there's a blip in +Z5JzVtabcfE-00060-00023584-00023920 the stock market so i could get some good quality stocks +Z5JzVtabcfE-00061-00023920-00024312 on sale and then i decided to take $20,000 of +Z5JzVtabcfE-00062-00024312-00024712 that and i started to invest in companies +Z5JzVtabcfE-00063-00024712-00025095 that I typically would not invest in. Part of my reason for that +Z5JzVtabcfE-00064-00025095-00025408 strategy is that I know that I'm not going to need this +Z5JzVtabcfE-00065-00025408-00025856 money for at least another 20 years or so. I feel like I have +Z5JzVtabcfE-00066-00025856-00026480 time on my side in that way so some of the investments that I have +Z5JzVtabcfE-00067-00026480-00026856 made are in like etfs related to bitcoin +Z5JzVtabcfE-00068-00026856-00027472 and gold also emerging companies that are still in like +Z5JzVtabcfE-00069-00027472-00028144 very infant stage but could potentially grow to be like a Tesla or Amazon. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00070-00028144-00028672 So I've taken that 20 000 and spread it across -- built my little portfolio +Z5JzVtabcfE-00071-00028672-00029095 where if these companies take off they could really help my portfolio +Z5JzVtabcfE-00072-00029095-00029439 but I also call this my risky money so that I +Z5JzVtabcfE-00073-00029439-00029847 know that if I were to lose out on some of these investment, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00074-00029847-00030224 it's not going to be devastating because i've already kind of +Z5JzVtabcfE-00075-00030224-00030752 earmarked it and said within this portfolio of the twenty thousand dollars +Z5JzVtabcfE-00076-00030752-00031152 there may be some winners and there may be some losers and I'm okay with that. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00077-00031152-00031575 This is a quick walkthrough of my portfolio. Right now it's a hundred and +Z5JzVtabcfE-00078-00031575-00032008 twelve thousand dollars rounded out. Before the market crashed it was at +Z5JzVtabcfE-00079-00032008-00032391 eighteen thousand dollars. it's been steadily growing because the +Z5JzVtabcfE-00080-00032391-00032791 market has been up then we get to the market crash and it +Z5JzVtabcfE-00081-00032791-00033368 drops down to sixteen thousand dollars. However the market did recover and so by +Z5JzVtabcfE-00082-00033368-00033744 the time we got to august it was back up to twenty two thousand +Z5JzVtabcfE-00083-00033744-00034272 dollars. So between the beginning of March and the +Z5JzVtabcfE-00084-00034272-00034752 at the end of July, I had gained about four thousand dollars because if you +Z5JzVtabcfE-00085-00034752-00035000 remember the market was doing really well +Z5JzVtabcfE-00086-00035000-00035319 and that's when i decided to transfer that +Z5JzVtabcfE-00087-00035319-00035831 $92,000 into my account and at that point in time my account +Z5JzVtabcfE-00088-00035831-00036216 went up to a hundred and fifteen thousand dollars rounded and +Z5JzVtabcfE-00089-00036216-00036775 it's been doing pretty well since then if you will notice it went up +Z5JzVtabcfE-00090-00036775-00037312 as high as $121,000 on September second and of course i was +Z5JzVtabcfE-00091-00037312-00037672 like yay but i also was realistic and i know that +Z5JzVtabcfE-00092-00037672-00038024 there is a lot of volatility in the market and i think there will be +Z5JzVtabcfE-00093-00038024-00038344 a lot of volatility at least through the end of the election. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00094-00038344-00038680 That's why i wanted to make sure that i have some cash on hand. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00095-00038680-00039024 Then the market started to go crazy the past couple days +Z5JzVtabcfE-00096-00039024-00039584 and that's when it's been falling since then. So it went from $121 +Z5JzVtabcfE-00097-00039584-00040328 and right now it is at $111,000. So essentially since the September 2nd +Z5JzVtabcfE-00098-00040328-00041136 i have lost $10 000 in this account however in reality my account is only +Z5JzVtabcfE-00099-00041136-00041480 truly down three thousand dollars from the time i +Z5JzVtabcfE-00100-00041480-00041952 transferred the money in and i'm not at all worried about it. I +Z5JzVtabcfE-00101-00041952-00042296 actually have been able to pick up some more +Z5JzVtabcfE-00102-00042296-00042559 stocks this week when the market went down. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00103-00042559-00042896 So yeah that's where we are right now. So what am I +Z5JzVtabcfE-00104-00042896-00043456 invested in? I am invested in technology, cloud storage, healthcare, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00105-00043456-00043880 consumer products, industrial, railways, activewear ,and quite +Z5JzVtabcfE-00106-00043880-00044175 a few other industries as well. Apple and Tesla, Teledoc, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00107-00044175-00044880 Gildan activewear, CNI Railway -- then I have the cash that I +Z5JzVtabcfE-00108-00044880-00045136 mentioned for market volatility. I've actually +Z5JzVtabcfE-00109-00045136-00045472 used up some of that cash this week and then +Z5JzVtabcfE-00110-00045472-00046063 the basket that's made up of a plethora of different industries, different stocks, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00111-00046063-00046480 different ETF. So i have emerging marketETF, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00112-00046480-00047103 bitcoin ETF, fintech ETF, biotech ETF, then i i bought some high-yield bonds +Z5JzVtabcfE-00113-00047103-00047584 because the return was so phenomenal. Also international company, +Z5JzVtabcfE-00114-00047584-00047968 international stocks, international ETFs and +Z5JzVtabcfE-00115-00047968-00048487 emerging industries like 5g, uh driverless cars. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00116-00048487-00048928 i did stocks for other countries like you think about China you think about +Z5JzVtabcfE-00117-00048928-00049344 India you think about Taiwan. So I did +Z5JzVtabcfE-00118-00049344-00049687 purchase some individual stocks for those in countries +Z5JzVtabcfE-00119-00049687-00050152 as well as the ETFs because +Z5JzVtabcfE-00120-00050152-00050568 those areas are a little bit more risky and the individual companies are a little bit more +Z5JzVtabcfE-00121-00050568-00050959 risky so i felt that my investment in ETF was +Z5JzVtabcfE-00122-00050959-00051464 a little bit more comfortable than my investment outright +Z5JzVtabcfE-00123-00051464-00051871 in the stock. Yeah so that's my portfolio. I am +Z5JzVtabcfE-00124-00051871-00052344 going to continue to monitor it but my goal is to have enough for my +Z5JzVtabcfE-00125-00052344-00052727 health care when I retire. I am not investing any +Z5JzVtabcfE-00126-00052727-00053151 more in this account because i have to save for my children's +Z5JzVtabcfE-00127-00053151-00053567 college education as well. So i want to keep funding their college +Z5JzVtabcfE-00128-00053567-00053904 education me that's really critical. So i've been +Z5JzVtabcfE-00129-00053904-00054424 funding my children college account since before they were born and i need +Z5JzVtabcfE-00130-00054424-00054767 to continue to fund it based on the timeline and the goals that i set for +Z5JzVtabcfE-00131-00054767-00055079 myself, so that i can hit that goal. I know +Z5JzVtabcfE-00132-00055079-00055488 that i'm not going to be able to put any more money into this healthcare account. +Z5JzVtabcfE-00133-00055488-00055800 So it's just really managing it so that I could get to the number that I would +Z5JzVtabcfE-00134-00055800-00056200 like to get to when I retire. What I would say to someone who does not have the +Z5JzVtabcfE-00135-00056200-00056520 hundred thousand dollars to invest? I would say that you +Z5JzVtabcfE-00136-00056520-00056895 still want to be very aware of these numbers +Z5JzVtabcfE-00137-00056895-00057336 that are out there. Know that you can truly be devastated +Z5JzVtabcfE-00138-00057336-00058079 by healthcare cost and plan for having something +Z5JzVtabcfE-00139-00058079-00058448 earmarked for healthcare needs as you get older +Z5JzVtabcfE-00140-00058448-00058848 if you could afford a thousand dollars put it in +Z5JzVtabcfE-00141-00058848-00059183 if you can't afford a thousand dollars and you could afford a hundred dollars +Z5JzVtabcfE-00142-00059183-00059783 put it in it's really recognizing that you're going to need to do this +Z5JzVtabcfE-00143-00059783-00060216 starting doing this and then adding on to it +Z5JzVtabcfE-00144-00060216-00060632 i don't know if this hundred thousand dollars +Z5JzVtabcfE-00145-00060632-00061095 will get me to i'm thinking i need five hundred thousand dollars +Z5JzVtabcfE-00146-00061095-00061448 so this may not get me to five hundred thousand dollars +Z5JzVtabcfE-00147-00061448-00061800 so i will need to figure out how I would supplement +Z5JzVtabcfE-00148-00061800-00062120 that additional cost another thing is that +Z5JzVtabcfE-00149-00062120-00062567 if i end up not needing this money for health care it's in an ira so i'll be +Z5JzVtabcfE-00150-00062567-00062879 able to use it just as part of my regular retirement +Z5JzVtabcfE-00151-00062879-00063207 fund or i can ear market and donate it to my +Z5JzVtabcfE-00152-00063207-00063639 favorite charity as well as leave it to my children or +Z5JzVtabcfE-00153-00063639-00064104 any other organization that i see fit to leave it to i do hope +Z5JzVtabcfE-00154-00064104-00064591 you found this video helpful and that it gave you reasons to think +Z5JzVtabcfE-00155-00064591-00064904 about including health care costs in your +Z5JzVtabcfE-00156-00064904-00065391 retirement plan if that's something that you had not been thinking about +Z5JzVtabcfE-00157-00065391-00065883 please share my content like and subscribe and i will see you in the next +Z5JzVtabcfE-00158-00065883-00066183 video +Z9prcUW1PuY-00000-00000000-00000200 Convert a formula into value in Google sheet +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00000-00000120-00000648 The Bussard Ram Jet. A theoretical method of spacecraft propulsion proposed in 1960, +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00001-00000648-00001110 has captivated the imaginations of science fiction writers and scientists alike. But +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00002-00001110-00001542 how feasible is it to travel between stars using the interstellar medium to fuel a space craft? +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00003-00001662-00002039 The interstellar medium is comprised of thin clouds of hydrogen and other elements, +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00004-00002039-00002340 with an average density of about 1 atom per cubic centimeter. +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00005-00002442-00002940 In his original proposal, Bussard sought to use a ramjet variant of a fusion rocket, with +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00006-00002940-00003354 an enormous electromagnetic field to collect and compress hydrogen from the interstellar medium. +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00007-00003450-00003852 However, due to the low density of the interstellar medium, other variants of the +Zq_hYXQ0ouQ-00008-00003852-00004224 Bussard ramjet were proposed, such as the Ram Augmented Interstellar Rocket (RAIR). +ZwgJ3N5vF64-00000-00000000-00000200 welcome to my channel +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00000-00001401-00001731 In this session, we will demonstrate the use of Tracker Capture +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00001-00001731-00001958 to collect Tracker-based data. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00002-00002065-00002379 We will start by introducing the Tracker Capture interface. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00003-00002482-00002776 We will then demonstrate how we can filter different cases +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00004-00002776-00003063 within a particular Tracker program. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00005-00003063-00003486 We will show examples about simple and advanced searches, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00006-00003486-00004017 we will also register new entities within a Tracker program, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00007-00004017-00004270 we will show the Tracker person dashboard, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00008-00004270-00004517 the data entry interface within Tracker, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00009-00004517-00004884 and how we can enter data into Tracker programs. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00010-00004884-00005328 We will also show how we can add in new events for Tracker programs, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00011-00005328-00005825 add in relationships, send messages and delete tracked entities +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00012-00005825-00006102 within a Tracker program. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00013-00006102-00006356 Let's go ahead and get started with the session. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00014-00006646-00006903 In this demonstration, we will go over +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00015-00006903-00007177 the use of Tracker Capture to collect individual data. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00016-00007303-00007574 We will use the antenatal care example program, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00017-00007574-00007827 that we discussed in the previous demonstration, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00018-00007827-00008104 to discuss concepts within Tracker Capture. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00019-00008291-00008785 In order to access Tracker Capture, we'll go to our 'Apps' +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00020-00008785-00009059 and find the 'Tracker Capture' application. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00021-00009452-00009933 To start data entry, we first should select an organization unit. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00022-00010403-00010797 This is similar to both 'Event Capture' and aggregated 'Data Entry'. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00023-00011061-00011327 Upon selecting the organization unit, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00024-00011327-00011698 I then get a list of individuals who belong to a program +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00025-00011698-00011931 that belongs to that organization unit. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00026-00012085-00012372 We can see, if we select the drop-down, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00027-00012372-00012565 there are several health programs +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00028-00012565-00012879 that belong to this particular organization unit. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00029-00012879-00013256 But we will use this "ANC example" program for this demonstration. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00030-00013530-00013847 In the Tracker Capture interface, there are a couple of items +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00031-00013847-00014164 we should make ourselves familiar with. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00032-00014164-00014417 For starters, we can use the individual filters +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00033-00014417-00014634 to filter the list of individuals +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00034-00014634-00014881 that appear on this Tracker Capture page. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00035-00015081-00015301 If we hover over one of the items, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00036-00015301-00015645 we can see that it provides us with a small description. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00037-00015792-00016106 The icon with the calendar indicates that we can filter out +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00038-00016106-00016363 those individuals who have an event today. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00039-00016546-00016710 If we click on this item, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00040-00016710-00017167 it will filter out those individuals who only have an event today. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00041-00017167-00017454 What this means in practice, is that these individuals +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00042-00017454-00017907 have an appointment within the ANC program that is scheduled for today. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00043-00018078-00018405 We can also list any enrolment status. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00044-00018405-00018762 If we click on this icon, it will list all the individuals +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00045-00018762-00019165 associated with this program, in this particular organization unit. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00046-00019305-00019562 These individuals could have completed the program, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00047-00019562-00020003 could have an event scheduled today, an event scheduled at any other day, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00048-00020003-00020280 or could have dropped out of the program. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00049-00020467-00020834 We can also filter out those users that have active enrolment. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00050-00020974-00021344 These users are still within the program and receiving services. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00051-00021344-00021578 They have not yet completed the program +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00052-00021578-00021771 or dropped out of the program. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00053-00022015-00022292 We can also click on the check mark, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00054-00022292-00022712 this shows us those cases that have completed their enrolment. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00055-00022712-00022912 This means they have gone through the entirety +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00056-00022912-00023083 of this antenatal care program. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00057-00023340-00023763 Lastly, we can filter out those users who have cancelled enrolment. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00058-00023763-00023933 This means that, for some reason, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00059-00023933-00024224 they have dropped out of this particular health program. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00060-00024694-00024938 Just like Event Capture, we can download a list +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00061-00024938-00025228 of the entities that appear on this page. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00062-00025372-00025585 If we click on the 'Download' (⤓) button, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00063-00025585-00025849 we can then download this in various formats. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00064-00026142-00026343 If we download this, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00065-00026343-00026746 we can open it up on our computer and use it offline. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00066-00027127-00027394 We can also add in columns to this front page. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00067-00027544-00027871 We will click on the 'Show/hide columns' button +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00068-00027871-00028171 and then we can add in new columns as necessary. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00069-00028585-00028868 Unlike the case with Event Capture where we actually saw +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00070-00028868-00029199 the data elements associated with the program, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00071-00029199-00029542 what we see here are the attributes of that individual. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00072-00029542-00029873 These are the attributes we use to register this person +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00073-00029873-00030060 in this particular health program +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00074-00030060-00030493 and uniquely identify them every time we go to search for them. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00075-00030653-00031057 We can also filter this list by searching for individuals. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00076-00031057-00031421 We have both simple searches as well as advanced searches +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00077-00031421-00031711 that we can use in order to filter these individuals. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00078-00031858-00032278 For a simple search, we can just type in our search criteria in the prompt. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00079-00032679-00032886 We'll click on the magnifying glass +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00080-00032886-00033273 and it will filter out any cases that meet our particular criteria. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00081-00033600-00033943 We can also perform an advanced search. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00082-00033943-00034331 If we click on the button '▼' beside the search field, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00083-00034331-00034554 we then have a number of different items +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00084-00034554-00034894 that we can specify for this particular search. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00085-00034894-00035208 Note that in Tracker we can also search for individuals +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00086-00035208-00035418 that are not in the current organization unit +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00087-00035418-00035575 that we are reviewing. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00088-00035885-00036099 This allows us to find individuals +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00089-00036099-00036406 who may have received services in one clinic +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00090-00036406-00036800 and are now receiving their next set of services in another facility. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00091-00037340-00037600 We can use any combination of the attributes +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00092-00037600-00037904 of that individual, in order to find them. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00093-00038978-00039492 Once we enter in our search criteria, we can click on 'Search'. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00094-00039492-00039673 This will pull up that individual. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00095-00039673-00039819 This can be quite useful, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00096-00039819-00040056 if we are searching from a long list of entities +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00097-00040056-00040293 and we need to find a specific person, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00098-00040293-00040653 in order to continue to track their health services. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00099-00040653-00040880 We can use this green 'List all' button, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00100-00040880-00041237 in order to list all the cases again and remove the filters. +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00101-00041411-00041708 Now that we have described this initial interface in Tracker Capture, +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00102-00041708-00041968 let's register a new person and enroll them +Zx0VjAs0nE4-00103-00041968-00042172 in the antenatal care program. +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00000-00001095-00001416 this episode was pre-recorded as part of a live continuing +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00001-00001416-00001860 education webinar on demand CEUs are still available for this presentation +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00002-00001860-00002412 through all CEUs register at allceus.com/counselortoolbox +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00003-00002593-00003247 I'd like to welcome everybody to today's presentation on spiritual steps to recovery +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00004-00003247-00003910 we're gonna start out by defining spirituality and really differentiate differentiating it from +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00005-00003910-00004438 religion we'll explore why the following spiritual principles are important to recovery from mental +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00006-00004438-00004897 health and substance abuse issues and how to develop them we're going to talk about honesty +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00007-00004897-00005560 hope faith courage and willingness and discipline now as many of you know a lot of my background or +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00008-00005560-00006145 all of my background isn't a co-occurring setting so a lot of what I learned about spirituality +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00009-00006145-00006898 and treatment started with understanding how it applies in 12-step programs and addiction recovery +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00010-00006898-00007636 but I really want you to see how these tools can be super helpful for your clients who have mental +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00011-00007636-00008287 health issues who are struggling with anxiety or depression or anger or grief and and can help them +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00012-00008287-00008992 recover even if they don't identify themselves as religious or choose to identify themselves +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00013-00008992-00009769 with you know a specific religion or higher power so spirituality can be thought of as spontaneous +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00014-00009769-00010456 joy and Wonder and a sense of fascination mystery awe and delight at the universe think about like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00015-00010456-00011008 a three-year-old the first time they see a rainbow think about the look in their eyes +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00016-00011008-00011827 and they're just like whoa that's awesome we lose that as we grow up we start ignoring or not paying +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00017-00011827-00012541 attention to the things around us as much we're on autopilot so much and we stopped recognizing +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00018-00012541-00013375 the connectedness between all things think about I have dogs and when I'm in a good mood you know the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00019-00013375-00014074 dogs are in a good mood and when I am stressed the dogs pick up on that stress and they tend +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00020-00014074-00014683 to want to distract me so I can be in a better mood I suppose but anytime anybody in our house +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00021-00014683-00015103 gets stressed whether it's me or somebody else and it could be something like we're watching +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00022-00015103-00015601 a horror movie or something it doesn't have to be you know super bad but they can sense +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00023-00015601-00016347 tension and it affects them this thing is true if you've had children you know that if you're upset +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00024-00016347-00016924 and you're holding your child it's gonna be a lot harder to calm them down because children +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00025-00016924-00017500 are very especially infants and young children are extremely intuitive about how mom or dad +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00026-00017500-00018148 is feeling and that serves a survival mechanism because a six-month-old needs you to stick around +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00027-00018148-00018715 in order to feed them so it's really important that they be attuned to what's going on with +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00028-00018715-00019150 you now as children get older they start setting those emotional boundaries and they're like our +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00029-00019150-00019723 moms in a cranky mood today or whatever and it's not as big of a deal for them but it does impact +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00030-00019723-00020611 them it I mean when somebody in your household is in a particularly nasty mood one day it has +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00031-00020611-00021379 an effect on a lot of things that they do on the people that they are surrounded by I know when I'm +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00032-00021379-00022009 in a bad mood I tend to just not want to clean and tend to be a little bit more short-tempered with +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00033-00022009-00022714 certain things so starting to think about even just how you interact and how you interface with +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00034-00022714-00023494 people and recognizing the connectedness and how awesome that can be if we have hope faith courage +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00035-00023494-00024067 discipline all these things you know we've got this positive outlook and we're going to kind of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00036-00024067-00024658 exude positivity and when we exude positivity a lot of times positivity comes back it's not like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00037-00024658-00025219 a magnet where negative seeks out positive which is kind of cool positive gets positive in the real +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00038-00025219-00025864 world and negative sometimes gets negative but we want to focus on the positive so spirituality +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00039-00025864-00026358 is really what we're talking about today is not religion what we're talking about is a way of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00040-00026358-00027133 rekindling this joy and Wonder and fascination and knocking down some of this other stuff that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00041-00027133-00027910 distracts us from it like conflict honesty builds trust and honesty is the first is the foundation +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00042-00027910-00028582 you need to get honest with yourself and others and I always talk about self honesty I talk about +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00043-00028582-00029182 self esteem and liking yourself because a lot of times we talk about stuff to do with others +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00044-00029182-00029968 but people need to be with themselves first what do you need be mindful dishonesty with yourself +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00045-00029968-00030547 causes many people to deny or ignore their own needs wants and feelings so if you get up in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00046-00030547-00031030 the morning and we've all had these days we get up and we know we've got a lot to do today and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00047-00031030-00031614 somebody says hey how you do and you're like I'm fine and you keep on chugging you keep on acting +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00048-00031614-00032358 as if you're fine now sometimes we've got to suck it up and keep on chugging but you're by denying +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00049-00032358-00032887 or ignoring your own needs and not saying you know what you know I had 15 things to do today +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00050-00032887-00033400 but I'm only gonna get six of them done and being compassionate with yourself by pushing through +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00051-00033400-00034159 sometimes it can cause additional distress anxiety and if you're not having a great day +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00052-00034159-00034849 if you're on a B day and you have 15 things to do the likelihood of you getting all 15 things done +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00053-00034849-00035518 and done well is slim to none so you're setting yourself up for failure you're setting yourself +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00054-00035518-00036208 up for self-criticism so paying attention to your own needs wants and feelings and figuring out how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00055-00036208-00036925 to get those met you know and as a compromise like I said some days there's stuff you got to do you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00056-00036925-00037351 got to get out of bed you got to go to work even if you woke up and you're like I didn't sleep all +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00057-00037351-00038062 night long okay but I got to be the B to work because I have six patients today all right got +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00058-00038062-00038674 that got to get up and and get moving but what else can you do to be kind to yourself what does +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00059-00038674-00039247 that have to do that you have to do versus the all the things you thought you would get done +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00060-00039247-00039910 today how can you be compassionate with yourself and give yourself a little bit of wiggle room and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00061-00039910-00040438 dishonesty with self also causes many people to stop trusting their instincts if their spidey +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00062-00040438-00041179 sense which is what I call it says you know that's probably a bad idea and they don't pay attention +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00063-00041179-00041971 to it and go on and do whatever it is anyway and ends up being a problem then they are like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00064-00041971-00042625 well you know I should have trusted my instincts but a lot of times they look back and then they +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00065-00042625-00043045 start beating instead of I should have trusted my instincts they beat themselves up and go well that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00066-00043045-00043567 was stupid I wonder why my instincts didn't kick in and keep me from doing it and when you look +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00067-00043567-00044218 back their instincts were going Danger Danger Will Robinson but they didn't pay attention so +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00068-00044218-00044767 dishonesty can cause a lot of problems dishonesty with others which is what we usually think about +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00069-00044767-00045400 creates relationships based on false principles and destroys trust so why would you be dishonest +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00070-00045400-00046120 with others and this can be an interesting group discussion topic and basically the two big themes +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00071-00046120-00046921 I want to come out of the group discussion is sometimes we're dishonest with others in order +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00072-00046921-00047422 to please ourselves we're dishonest with others to get something we want we can lie we can manipulate +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00073-00047422-00048283 we can massage the truth or we can selectively omit certain things in order to get what we want +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00074-00048283-00048955 so we can please ourselves and sometimes we're dishonest with others to please them we tell +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00075-00048955-00049522 them that dress looks great on you even if it doesn't now there's you know brutal honesty and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00076-00049522-00050173 then there's honesty but just giving you examples of a lot of times people are dishonest with others +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00077-00050173-00050659 because they're telling them what they want to hear or what they think that person wants to hear +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00078-00050659-00051216 which means that relationship is already being built on certain falsehoods you know if you have a +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00079-00051216-00051613 relationship and somebody says do you like sci-fi and the other person really hates it but they're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00080-00051613-00052216 like oh yeah I love the Star Wars series well then when they start getting into this relationship +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00081-00052216-00052786 that's supposedly built on a mutual fascination with sci-fi one person's going to be miserable +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00082-00052786-00053470 and the other person's gonna be like well what's going on so it's important to understand why +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00083-00053470-00054042 honesty is important and a lot of our clients have low self-esteem and they really want to be light +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00084-00054042-00055012 so they may tend to you know try to chameleon themselves try to fit in wherever they can which +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00085-00055012-00055699 causes them to be dishonest a lot of times so we want to ask them how does it impact you if you are +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00086-00055699-00056212 doing these things that you don't like to do going to restaurants you don't like to go to ignoring +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00087-00056212-00056991 your preferences how do you end up feeling is that helpful to your recovery another question you can +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00088-00056991-00057717 ask clients is how does dishonesty affect you your relationships and your environment and the last +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00089-00057717-00058179 part usually gets people they can think about okay when I lie it causes me stress because I got to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00090-00058179-00058866 keep track of all the lies or whatever they or I feel guilty for lying to somebody relationships if +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00091-00058866-00059515 you're lying you got to keep up on those and then if you get found out you know there's all kinds of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00092-00059515-00060480 problems but the environment how does dishonesty affect the environment well think about what +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00093-00060480-00061554 dishonesty does to your mood if you are somebody who lies a lot and has to keep track of lying and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00094-00061554-00062002 you're not just you know really good at it some people are good at lying and they can +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00095-00062002-00062437 look at you dead in the face and lie to you without blinking but I'm talking about you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00096-00062437-00063064 know most of us it causes extra tension so how does that affect your environment how does that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00097-00063064-00063544 affect the people around you are you exude a extra tension do you get defensive when you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00098-00063544-00064129 think that they might be on to your lies it's important to think about and then look at how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00099-00064129-00064885 does honesty affect you your relationships and your environments that is when you're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00100-00064885-00065536 honest with yourself you know sometimes you learn things about yourself or relationships +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00101-00065536-00066034 or something and it's like well this kind of sucks and that's true honesty doesn't +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00102-00066034-00066601 shield you from all the bad stuff it makes you acknowledge and and deal with the bad stuff in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00103-00066601-00067081 your relationships being honest may lead to a little bit of conflict here and there +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00104-00067081-00067810 however if the relationship is built on honesty then it's one that's got stronger foundations +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00105-00067810-00068611 so encourage clients to get honest with themselves about what they want and feel through mindfulness +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00106-00068611-00069163 one thing I I have my clients do is keep track of these things three times a day for a week +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00107-00069163-00069798 you know what did you need and feel what did you learn about yourself in retrospect going +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00108-00069798-00070461 back you know they may learn that after lunch a lot of times they feel sleepy and they want a +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00109-00070461-00071187 nap and they feel like they need coffee it gives them clues in to their energy levels so they can +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00110-00071187-00071814 plan their days a little bit better it gives them clues into maybe how that what they ate +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00111-00071814-00072465 affected them they start seeing the connections between their physical health their environment +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00112-00072465-00073140 what they're doing maybe even time of day what do you need to start doing differently to meet +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00113-00073140-00073677 your needs now again a lot of us can't take a mid-afternoon nap that's just not something +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00114-00073677-00074442 that's likely gonna happen so you know if you have a lull which I know I do from about 1:00 +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00115-00074442-00075285 to 2:30 or 6:00 1:00 to 2:30 what can you do and I generally schedule what I consider +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00116-00075285-00076005 my less my brain intensive activities for that period something that I enjoy a little bit more +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00117-00076005-00076659 because when I'm tired my motivation to do stuff I don't like is really low so I arrange it so my +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00118-00076659-00077490 day is a little bit more tolerable it reduces the stress I also after lunch I go out on a walk so +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00119-00077490-00077973 I get some fresh air and some sunlight and kind of recharge my batteries so to speak but that's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00120-00077973-00078636 me encouraging clients to look at where are their stress points and you know where are their lulls +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00121-00078636-00079344 where their needs not getting met and what can they do to kind of try to make things fit better +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00122-00079344-00079944 with them and like I said it's always compromise get honest about the reasons you're not honest +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00123-00079944-00080535 so think of three times you are not honest with yourself and three times you are not honest with +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00124-00080535-00081198 someone else and I have them write this down on a piece of paper and usually six different +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00125-00081198-00081924 pieces of paper three sides whatever why were you dishonest what was what were you hoping to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00126-00081924-00082941 do gain or what we hope hoping to avoid by being dishonest and what past experiences made you think +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00127-00082941-00083553 that dishonesty was a better choice so maybe in the past when you've been honest with somebody +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00128-00083553-00084027 they have gotten really really upset and really really angry and not talked to you for a month +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00129-00084027-00084795 um so you thought you know what I really don't want that to happen again I want to avoid that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00130-00084795-00085536 problem so I'm going to be dishonest you know it's important to think about what motivates +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00131-00085536-00086112 dishonesty because there is a motivation and then they go back and do the same thing for honesty on +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00132-00086112-00086757 the three times you were honest why did you choose to be honest instead of lying and you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00133-00086757-00087465 know a lot of times it's like well because there was no point to lying and what past experiences +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00134-00087465-00088083 made you think that honesty was a better choice so what taught you that in many cases or in at +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00135-00088083-00088974 least in those three cases honesty was the best policy and remember we're talking about +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00136-00088974-00089883 times that they were you know again not honest with themselves and not honest with someone else a +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00137-00089883-00090687 lot of times they can people figure out that they are dishonest with themselves for external reasons +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00138-00090687-00091308 they want to seek approval or they didn't know how to manage their time or if they just didn't even +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00139-00091308-00091908 think of managing their time better or they didn't or they're not compassionate with themselves so +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00140-00091908-00092388 we want to look at these you know why was it better to just you know ignore your own feelings +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00141-00092388-00093324 for example and muster through eliminate excuses justifying your own behaviors to yourself often +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00142-00093324-00093939 avoids addressing the real issue stress eating is one of those behaviors that sometimes people will +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00143-00093939-00094842 justify and and they'll if their stress eating I'm tired I deserve it I need comfort right now +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00144-00094842-00095484 and and they're not addressing whatever it is that's causing the distress they're distracting +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00145-00095484-00096054 or they're justifying their behavior but again they're not addressing what's causing the problem +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00146-00096054-00096687 was causing them to want to stress e justifying your own behaviors to others may elicit sympathy +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00147-00096687-00097353 but it also may lead to a loss of respect and still avoids addressing the real issue I didn't +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00148-00097353-00097911 get the job done because my car broke down and this happened and that happened make it sound like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00149-00097911-00098805 a bad country-western song so okay you know maybe all those things happened that's justification I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00150-00098805-00099213 guess but it doesn't address the real issue how are you going to keep it from happening again +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00151-00099213-00099819 and how are you going to fix it you know I'm not real interested if my employee comes in and says +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00152-00099819-00100548 I didn't get the grant written I'm not really interested in all the reasons why I want to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00153-00100548-00101067 know well how are you going to get it done and how are you going to keep it from happening again so +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00154-00101067-00101919 justifying isn't often helpful and we want to look at what happened people with poor time management +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00155-00101919-00102686 will often justify and make excuses for why they didn't do something or why they did do something +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00156-00102686-00103302 so looking for that underlying reason what's going on that is causing you to fail to keep promises +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00157-00103302-00104220 or you know stress eat or smoke or whatever it is justifying others behaviors sometimes will justify +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00158-00104220-00104880 other people's behaviors to minimize feelings of anger and or anxiety but it may cause you to miss +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00159-00104880-00105516 signs of an unhealthy relationship think about clients we've had who are in really dysfunctional +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00160-00105516-00106539 relationships and when they lie to them or when they justify that that person's behavior they're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00161-00106539-00107244 like it's okay I brought it on myself or he had a really hard week at work so you know what it's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00162-00107244-00107850 okay and it's always it's okay it's okay it's okay well are they being honest with themself about how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00163-00107850-00108630 they feel is it really okay and you know maybe sometimes those justifications are true but we +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00164-00108630-00109167 also want to look at patterns and go is there a pattern here and is it a healthy relationship if +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00165-00109167-00109740 you're constantly justifying or making excuses for someone that sounds like enabling to me but +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00166-00109740-00110778 you know that's me encourage people to be mindful for of mindful for a week of how often they make +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00167-00110778-00111807 excuses you know keep a log you know you all know I like my logs because it's a lot easier to pay +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00168-00111807-00112385 attention to something for a week and keep track of it kind of get baseline data to be aware of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00169-00112385-00112784 it then try to think retrospectively because sometimes you won't remember you know well I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00170-00112784-00113289 didn't make any excuses for anything last week well you probably did but let's take a look at +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00171-00113289-00114158 what happened so if they keep a log then they can explore it a little more thoroughly why did they +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00172-00114158-00114798 make the excuse why did they justify it instead of just going you know what I screwed up I plan to do +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00173-00114798-00115788 X Y Z to fix it what would have happened if they were honest maybe they're afraid that if they're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00174-00115788-00116541 honest with the person that the person is just gonna completely go ballistic okay is this based +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00175-00116541-00117198 on facts or feelings so you know you're dealing with Sally and John are in a relationship now and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00176-00117198-00118149 they're dealing with something and Sally really needed to something done John didn't get it done +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00177-00118149-00118680 she makes excuses for him she's afraid to confront him on it and go John why didn't you get this done +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00178-00118680-00119466 you know I asked you to do it for Tuesday's board meeting or whatever and John's just like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00179-00119466-00120192 home Sally doesn't confront him on it Sally just makes excuses for it and says okay it's all fine +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00180-00120192-00120894 and let's it go well when we look at Sally's history we find out that Sally's family was +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00181-00120894-00121704 pretty chaotic and whenever there was any whenever anything didn't get done you know maybe dad was an +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00182-00121704-00122292 alcoholic and when things didn't get done he got defensive and he would go ballistic so she expects +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00183-00122292-00122793 that from people she expects that she confronts them if she holds them accountable that they are +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00184-00122793-00123408 going to go ballistic like people in her past half so we want to encourage people to get honest about +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00185-00123408-00124085 you know in this situation with John when you hold him accountable for things does he typically you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00186-00124085-00124665 know loses stuffing and you know it may not be true it may just be on based on feelings from +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00187-00124665-00125408 the past I'm afraid that if this happened so then again asking how likely is it that John is going +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00188-00125408-00126639 to be go ballistic and and you know John may have a real even temper so you may go well not very +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00189-00126639-00127218 likely you know my dad my family of origin people were just all over the place constantly but John's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00190-00127218-00127848 pretty stable so it's pretty unlikely he's gonna lose his stuffing is this prediction based on the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00191-00127848-00128561 present or past experiences we talked about that and if you confront him if Sally confronted John +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00192-00128561-00129138 and said you know what I hear all this stuff but I you made a promise to get this done and I really +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00193-00129138-00129852 needed it done for the board meeting and if John gets mad how can Sally deal with it how can you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00194-00129852-00130797 deal with rejection or someone getting mad if you don't make excuses for them or if you do something +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00195-00130797-00131418 or fail to do something maybe you my son bless his heart can never remember to take the trash +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00196-00131418-00132189 out so when he doesn't take the trash out you know I hold him accountable for it I'm like you have an +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00197-00132189-00132870 alarm set why didn't you take the garbage out and yeah he gets mad at me because you know he doesn't +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00198-00132870-00133521 like to take the trash out but it's important to understand that that's okay I'm a parent he's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00199-00133521-00134010 gonna get mad at me that's just the way the world works but it's our clients need to understand the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00200-00134010-00134754 same thing when they hold someone accountable or when they don't do something it's important +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00201-00134754-00135780 to take responsibility for it encourage clients to deal effectively with conflict avoidance of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00202-00135780-00136366 conflict can lead to ignoring your feeling NEADS so again we're still on honesty and I know there's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00203-00136366-00136861 so many other spiritual principles but if people aren't honest it's hard to have hope and faith +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00204-00136861-00137722 because if everything is built on on a lie or you know smoke and mirrors then having faith that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00205-00137722-00138229 things are gonna work out isn't based on facts necessarily it's kind of based on hope because +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00206-00138229-00138907 you don't know what the facts really are so we're still being honest why do people avoid conflict +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00207-00138907-00139540 and you know some of us I don't like conflict so I tend to try to avoid it so we want to ask +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00208-00139540-00140302 clients why do you avoid conflict what are you afraid of what don't you like about it encourage +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00209-00140302-00140818 them to explore if they only avoid conflict with certain people sometimes its authority +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00210-00140818-00141373 figures sometimes it's their significant others you know are there certain people that you tend +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00211-00141373-00141889 to avoid conflict with and what's that about what is your fear there that's keeping you from being +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00212-00141889-00142648 honest and open and what needs to change so you can effectively deal with conflict for a lot of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00213-00142648-00143572 clients there's a combination of assertiveness skills and communication skills as well as a +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00214-00143572-00144388 healthy dose of building self-esteem because some clients don't want to engage in conflicts because +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00215-00144388-00145099 they're afraid of making people angry because they need that external validation what would it look +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00216-00145099-00145711 like to successfully resolve conflict and we'll do this we'll roleplay situations in in group or +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00217-00145711-00146356 in individual sessions but then when clients get ready to approach a conflict I always encourage +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00218-00146356-00146887 them to mentally rehearse the situation prior to so if you're gonna have to have a talk with your +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00219-00146887-00147547 boss or with your roommate or whomever before you go in there mentally rehearse what you're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00220-00147547-00148585 going to say how it might go and ideally seeing a positive resolution to it in effectively dealing +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00221-00148585-00149110 with conflict can take the form of seeing only how you're right and you know the other person's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00222-00149110-00149761 wrong so they just need to fix it or seeing only how the other person is wrong and ignoring their +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00223-00149761-00150691 perspectives or feelings and I give the example of a child doing chores when I call my kids on +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00224-00150691-00151174 the carpet for not getting their chores done you know I'm like I'm right you didn't get them done +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00225-00151174-00151813 but it's important for me to look at what else is going on were they sick did they have a lot +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00226-00151813-00152575 of extra schoolwork that week was there something else kind of going on that you know I need to be +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00227-00152575-00153349 compassionate about now am I making excuses no because I am taking into the perspective +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00228-00153349-00153805 I'm still holding them accountable they needed to tell me that they weren't going to get it +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00229-00153805-00154234 done they needed to handle it differently and be honest with me that you know my I ain't got +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00230-00154234-00154918 the energy to do this this week because of and my son's pretty good about that if he's sick I'll be +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00231-00154918-00155713 like son did you do your chores he's like no I'm sick he always points to his nose to blood bless +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00232-00155713-00156610 his little heart but he is very clear about what he needs wants and will do so encourage clients to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00233-00156610-00157096 think about situations in their life where there is conflict and what are their feelings and needs +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00234-00157096-00157756 in this situation and again with holidays coming up there could be conflicts coming up so having +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00235-00157756-00158362 them think about because they're already probably thinking about them what conflictual situations +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00236-00158362-00158842 may be occurring and what are your feelings and needs maybe they don't get along with Uncle Bob +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00237-00158842-00159346 and they're having to go to a family reunion so there's a little bit of conflict there for some +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00238-00159346-00159970 reason what are your feelings and needs in what ways are you right you know and encourage them +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00239-00159970-00160570 to be honest and validate their feelings and wants and thoughts encourage them to look at what might +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00240-00160570-00161095 the other person's perspective be you know take Uncle Bob's perspective and you know for whatever +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00241-00161095-00161860 reason you guys are having a to do why might they be kind of digging in and refusing to see it from +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00242-00161860-00162574 your perspective or holding on to theirs which may be very valid so it's important to look at +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00243-00162574-00163421 how is the other person from their perspective right and there are almost always rights on both +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00244-00163421-00164051 sides so how can you create a win-win how can you compromise you know maybe you and uncle Bob will +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00245-00164051-00164720 never see eye to eye on whatever this particular issue is and that's okay but how can you create +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00246-00164720-00165449 a win-win so you both can survive the family get together and that's when we're talking about with +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00247-00165449-00165974 feelings and needs you're not necessarily going to get another person to come around to your side +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00248-00165974-00166607 but what we want is for people to acknowledge what do I need to feel okay in this situation +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00249-00166607-00167123 and maybe it's just for Uncle Bob to stay on the other side of the room um and that's something +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00250-00167123-00167687 that you can discuss with your clients how do you see this what's the best possible scenario if you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00251-00167687-00168311 go to the realistic scenario when you go to the family reunion and Uncle Bob's there what do you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00252-00168311-00168995 need to have happen so you can feel okay about things and self-esteem because many times fear +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00253-00168995-00169829 of rejection or somebody getting mad at you keeps you from being honest so if the person +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00254-00169829-00170405 says it really disappointed me when you broke your promise a lot of times they may think that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00255-00170405-00170876 but not say it because they fear rejection they think if I tell her this she's going to think +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00256-00170876-00171482 I'm being stupid and making a mountain out of a molehill and get mad at me so we want to look at +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00257-00171482-00172088 again why are you avoiding conflict why are you avoiding being honest with people about how you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00258-00172088-00172760 feel encourage them to think about three times when they weren't honest with someone for fear +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00259-00172760-00173264 of rejection and we've all been there you know it may have been a while it may have been last week +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00260-00173264-00173891 but we've all been there so in those situations if you would have been honest with them how likely is +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00261-00173891-00174665 it that they would have rejected you and for certain people or in certain circumstances it +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00262-00174665-00175217 may be very likely that they would reject you but then you want to look at the relationship +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00263-00175217-00175955 and go is this a healthy relationship encourage clients to separate rejecting the person from +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00264-00175955-00176610 rejecting the idea so you know maybe you have two different maybe you're on polar opposites +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00265-00176610-00177240 on politics or something and if you're honest with somebody about your your stance and they're honest +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00266-00177240-00177732 with you about their their stance you may never be able to meet in the middle but that's okay +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00267-00177732-00178380 doesn't mean they're rejecting you or does it mean that they're rejecting your feelings your thoughts +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00268-00178380-00178887 on that particular thing and it doesn't mean that either one of you is wrong it just means that you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00269-00178887-00179484 have different opinions how did did it affect your relationship because you failed to address +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00270-00179484-00180372 it so if you fail to address something but in a relationship and it kept going on like like I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00271-00180372-00181041 mentioned earlier maybe you told somebody that you were a huge fan of sci-fi and oh you really hate +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00272-00181041-00181548 it so every time you get together you watch sci-fi marathons and you just want to pull your hair out +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00273-00181548-00182262 so it can't affect your relationship because you may not be feeling like your needs are being met +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00274-00182262-00182916 well because they don't know what your needs are they think your needs are this you know that you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00275-00182916-00183372 enjoy watching sci-fi films and that's a great way to spend the weekend and you think your needs are +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00276-00183372-00184219 going out hiking well if they don't know that then how can they even try to meet your needs and then +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00277-00184219-00184726 how did it affect you and your self-esteem because you didn't address it and sometimes when we're not +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00278-00184726-00185188 honest with people and we're kind of living a lie we feel bad about ourselves we feel guilty +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00279-00185188-00185896 for not being honest and we feel unappreciated because they're not reading our mind and knowing +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00280-00185896-00186478 that that's not what we want so it's important to encourage clients to develop self-esteem so +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00281-00186478-00187120 they're not so reliant on other people to give them validation they can validate themselves and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00282-00187120-00187831 they can separate rejection or acceptance of an idea or something versus rejection or acceptance +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00283-00187831-00188740 of them as a person develop self-esteem a powerful internal critic may also keep you from being +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00284-00188740-00189379 honest with yourself about your needs for example you think wow I really need to take a break and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00285-00189379-00190213 your internal critic says you are such a lazy bum well somewhere you heard that or somewhere you got +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00286-00190213-00190771 that idea that it's not okay to take a break and your fear of rejection kicks in and you think well +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00287-00190771-00191260 I'm not lovable if I take a break or I'm worthless if I take a break so then you don't take a break +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00288-00191260-00191800 you're ignoring your own feelings you're not being honest with what you need and what you deserve and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00289-00191800-00192556 what's okay and I wouldn't I encourage people to really look at you know if somebody else said I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00290-00192556-00193237 need to take a break would you look at him ago you are such a lazy bum or would you say alright you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00291-00193237-00193735 know let's talk about how we can get these things done in a way that in a pace that works better for +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00292-00193735-00194464 you and have clients identify their strengths because you know focus on your strengths we all +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00293-00194464-00194998 have weaknesses you know that's just the way the world works we're not perfect at everything and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00294-00194998-00195697 back we're probably not perfect at anything so looking at what are your strengths because that's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00295-00195697-00196360 a way to also silence that internal critic saying you know I work really hard five days a week and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00296-00196360-00196888 you know I really need a break on the weekends in order to recharge but I am a good employee +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00297-00196888-00197506 or whatever it encourage people to recognize how awesome they are because then they won't rely as +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00298-00197506-00198148 much on external validation and they can shut up that internal critic stop trying to control +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00299-00198148-00198715 the uncontrollable having clients identify three things that cause them to stress in the last week +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00300-00198715-00199489 we'll help them start identifying ways that their energy is going out you know if you are you you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00301-00199489-00200005 have a house that is 10 feet over on the on the property line and you lean against it and you try +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00302-00200005-00200404 to move it with your shoulder and you're pushing it with all your might all your energy is going +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00303-00200404-00200914 there you're probably not noticing the squirrels and the trees and the cloud shapes that are going +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00304-00200914-00201493 by you are too focused on trying to push with your shoulder that house 10 feet back over the property +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00305-00201493-00202018 line well it ain't gonna work and look at all the stuff you missed look at all the awesome things +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00306-00202018-00202693 that you missed and how much is it affecting you and your honesty and your hope and your +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00307-00202693-00203500 enthusiasm for everything by focusing on this one thing that you just can't control so have +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00308-00203500-00204211 people identify what parts are within your control maybe you went in for an interview and you didn't +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00309-00204211-00204751 get a get the job all right that's okay it happens sometimes so what parts were within your control +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00310-00204751-00205336 what did you do well and what could you have done differently what can you learn what parts were out +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00311-00205336-00205930 of your control and how can you accept that once people start stop fighting with their feelings +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00312-00205930-00206482 stop fighting with the uncontrollable they free up a lot of time to pick their head up from their +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00313-00206482-00207031 iPhones or whatever and look around and start engaging with other people and they have energy +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00314-00207031-00207871 to do the stuff that gives their life meaning and you know makes it awesome be mindful of yourself +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00315-00207871-00208510 and your intentions give yourself permission to have needs and wants and to make mistakes and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00316-00208510-00209032 then just be honest about your mistakes and how you're gonna fix them make a commitment +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00317-00209032-00209667 to honesty even when it's hard encourage people to think before they speak because if you're in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00318-00209667-00210267 the habit of telling people what you think they want to hear then sometimes you may you know kind +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00319-00210267-00210913 of massage the truth inadvertently so encourage people to stop and think before they speak have +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00320-00210913-00211471 them consider the long-term consequences of being honest how much better will it be if I don't have +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00321-00211471-00212287 to keep track of all these lies and half-truths be consistent and be open to feedback be open to the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00322-00212287-00213280 fact that people can tell you what you may need to change and be honest about what may need to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00323-00213280-00213763 change if the information changes so for example if you said John I'm going to help you move this +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00324-00213763-00214473 weekend and then on Wednesday your kid comes down with this really bad ear infection well you know +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00325-00214473-00215077 the information changed so you were being honest when you told him you would help him move but now +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00326-00215077-00215563 things have changed so it's important to be honest and go this happened I can't help you move this +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00327-00215563-00216573 weekend but I can't help you next weekend hope is the belief that things can and will get better the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00328-00216573-00216982 more strongly we believe in positive possibilities and the more hope there is I mean think about it +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00329-00216982-00217621 when you hope for something it's pretty exciting lack of hope leads to a lack of motivation +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00330-00217621-00218296 people like well what's the point now faith I put together with hope because they kind of go hand in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00331-00218296-00218898 hand faith is the belief that if you do the right thing your hopes will be realized so people come +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00332-00218898-00219391 into treatment they hope they're gonna get better well that's great but they need to have faith in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00333-00219391-00220078 themselves and in the process and in us as their clinicians that we can help them move towards that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00334-00220078-00220990 and faith can be the belief that other people will do the right thing and that's not always true but +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00335-00220990-00221469 we can always have faith that you know people are going to do the right thing if you find somebody's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00336-00221469-00221830 cell phone on the ground you're gonna turn it in and not take it and sell it on eBay or something +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00337-00221830-00222610 conduct a hope audit of your life what do you have to be grateful for in your in your health work and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00338-00222610-00223210 relationships and sometimes you can do this as a group and it's really encouraging and enlightening +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00339-00223210-00223767 other times it's something that people can do individually that can help them really flecked +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00340-00223767-00224819 personally when they do it individually they get a lot more personal about what is what works for +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00341-00224819-00225312 them and and what they have to be grateful for they won't [ __ ] there are some things they're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00342-00225312-00225821 just not going to share in a group setting what have you done that's made a positive difference +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00343-00225821-00226341 and some people feel like this is bragging so they may not talk about it in group you just kind of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00344-00226341-00226860 have to get the pulse on your group for this one but I want clients to tell me and I want them to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00345-00226860-00227463 note know that even holding the door for somebody or looking at somebody and smiling or you know +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00346-00227463-00228030 there are small things random acts of kindness the little things that make positive differences +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00347-00228030-00228746 if things are going bad for somebody have them identify three people who've encountered similar +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00348-00228746-00229407 situations and it worked out okay maybe they lost their job or they're depressed or they just got +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00349-00229407-00229971 diagnosed with some sort of illness and they're really stressed out about it identify three +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00350-00229971-00230376 other people who've gone through the same thing which is why support groups are so awesome for +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00351-00230376-00230973 helping to develop hope have clients spend twenty minutes identifying all of the things that they're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00352-00230973-00231378 currently hoping for because we all have a list of things that we're hoping for from winning the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00353-00231378-00231990 lottery down to getting home safe this afternoon after work rank them in order of importance and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00354-00231990-00232587 then identify what you need to do to make them happen if anything you know if you want to win the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00355-00232587-00233112 lottery you gotta buy a lottery ticket you want to get home safe from work you need to drive safely +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00356-00233112-00233775 or maybe you know not leave during rush hour or whatever but it's important to understand that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00357-00233775-00234519 hope is great but we've got to do our part to you know make everything happen if worry is anxiety +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00358-00234519-00235131 about what hasn't happened yet hope is a belief that positive things will happen so hope is in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00359-00235131-00235833 the future just like worry is I have clients think about things that cause them anxiety over the past +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00360-00235833-00236502 week and instead of saying I'm really worried that have them change their their semantics to I hope +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00361-00236502-00237141 that so I'm really worried that I'm not going to get this job change the - I really hope that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00362-00237141-00237741 I get this job how does it change their stress levels in their outlook on something how does it +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00363-00237741-00238329 change how they feel inside you know when I say I hope that this happens I get kind of excited +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00364-00238329-00238992 when I say I'm worried that I feel like I've got an albatross around my neck encourage them to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00365-00238992-00239553 practice mindfulness by identifying three positive things that happened each day so in addition to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00366-00239553-00240042 checking in you know at breakfast lunch and dinner with what do I need what do I want how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00367-00240042-00240675 am I feeling have them identify one positive thing at each check-in that has happened so far that day +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00368-00240675-00241575 that encourages hope and faith identify things you feel discouraged or hopeless about and have +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00369-00241575-00242226 them have clients identify the ideal resolution to the situation for example somebody may say +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00370-00242226-00242676 in my relationship I want us to get along all the time and be completely in love you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00371-00242676-00243357 know those Disney type in love and we know that Disney's not realistic so I want them to define +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00372-00243357-00244116 what is the ideal resolution to the situation by breaking it down and saying what's more smaller +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00373-00244116-00244737 more manageable and maybe more realistic goal and in the example of relationships having somebody +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00374-00244737-00245340 say you know and I'm in my relationship I want us to get along most days and have positive feelings +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00375-00245340-00245844 for each other well that's doable you know that's something that you know is definitely we can set +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00376-00245844-00246573 goals to work toward for if somebody's addicted to opiates or if we're thinking about the opiate +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00377-00246573-00247287 crisis you may say you know the ideals resolution is nobody is addicted to opiates anymore well +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00378-00247287-00247881 that ain't gonna happen you know it's just let's accept it so go down to what's a more manageable +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00379-00247881-00248519 realistic goal that you might be able to impact that everyone who contacts me wanting help gets +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00380-00248519-00249288 it and the epidemic is slowed so that people are able to provide services and that anyone +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00381-00249288-00249789 who wants services gets it how awesome would that be and that's something that as clinicians we can +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00382-00249789-00250646 actually affect and what can you do to impact the situation so in that relationship again they want +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00383-00250646-00251265 to get along most days and have positive positive feelings towards each other so the person can +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00384-00251265-00251919 be more mindful of themselves communicate more effectively and honestly and make an effort to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00385-00251919-00252423 use the other person's love language so those are three things that they could that person could do +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00386-00252423-00253158 to improve their relationship and achieve that goal of getting along most days for the opiate +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00387-00253158-00253773 academic epidemic you know for example what I could do I could make myself available in the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00388-00253773-00254421 community and on social networks to help people wanting help link with that help and provide free +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00389-00254421-00254973 easily accessible prevention education you know I'm not going to be able to necessarily treat +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00390-00254973-00255534 everybody but we can put the information out there to help people understand the dangers and maybe +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00391-00255534-00256113 prevent some people from getting addicted and then looking at what parts are out of your control in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00392-00256113-00256710 the relationship if you're dealing with Sally and John's not your client well you don't have any +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00393-00256710-00257229 control over what John does and even if they're both your clients we can't control other people +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00394-00257229-00257931 so all you can control is yourself all Sally can control is what she does and John has to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00395-00257931-00258798 be responsible for his part with opiates you know I can't keep people from using pain medications I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00396-00258798-00259509 can't keep people from abusing pain medications but I can educate them about the dangers and I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00397-00259509-00260229 can make sure that treatments available if they want it or at least in certain circumstances +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00398-00260229-00261044 develop a description of what you envision is a rich and meaningful life and state your goals in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00399-00261044-00261534 realistic terms in order to have hope if people are hoping for something they need to know what +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00400-00261534-00261900 that something is what is this something look like I want to have a rich and meaningful life +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00401-00261900-00262431 well that's awesome what does that mean to you so have clients identify what that looks like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00402-00262431-00263199 and then break it down what do you need to achieve whatever that is this week this month and in the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00403-00263199-00263922 next six months encourage them to monitor progress to see incremental changes and increase their hope +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00404-00263922-00264708 so they can keep a log each day of their progress maybe part of living a rich and meaningful life is +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00405-00264708-00265566 being more patient with their family okay so this week what can you do to improve your patience and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00406-00265566-00266115 start working towards achieving that goal well maybe part of it is the first step is to become +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00407-00266115-00266769 more mindful of their own vulnerabilities and their stress triggers so that would what that's +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00408-00266769-00267321 what they would do this week and then what would they do over the course of the month what are +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00409-00267321-00267972 they hoping to have achieved and how are they hoping to measure that you know maybe in number +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00410-00267972-00268575 of times that they got frustrated with somebody or whatever it is compare how you're doing this +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00411-00268575-00269175 week with last week so I went through this week I did pretty good go through next week keep a log +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00412-00269175-00269766 of it then I want to look back and I want to see some improvements and if I don't then you know we +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00413-00269766-00270351 need to make some changes but it's important that clients see the small incremental changes because +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00414-00270351-00270966 they're not going to go from being clinically depressed to you know just dandy in a week or +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00415-00270966-00271515 maybe even in a month so what are we looking at number of days that you got up in the morning +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00416-00271515-00272172 and you didn't feel like you'd been hit by a Mack truck okay so if we go from zero to you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00417-00272172-00272691 know two days last week I woke up and I felt pretty okay that's improvement is it where you +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00418-00272691-00273387 want to be no but it's definitely significant improvement and encourage clients to remember +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00419-00273387-00274071 that a bad day is just that a day it doesn't necessarily mean you're backsliding it means +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00420-00274071-00274671 you had a bad day there's a lot of things that could go into that so if they focus on that day +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00421-00274671-00275292 instead of the preceding 17 that were really pretty good then it's going to destroy hope I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00422-00275292-00275769 want them to look back and you know let's look at the past two weeks and see how things have +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00423-00275769-00276303 been going yeah today was a crappy day but how are the last two weeks were things starting to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00424-00276303-00277008 get better okay so what can we do starting right now to make sure that tomorrow is another good day +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00425-00277176-00277782 maintaining hope means setting and prioritizing clear and attainable goals if we don't achieve +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00426-00277782-00278283 our goals we get discouraged and that knocks down hope so clear and attainable goals develop +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00427-00278283-00278838 multiple strategies to reach those goals because if one thing doesn't work you need to be able to +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00428-00278838-00279405 kind of drop back and punt stay motivated to use the strategies to a chant attain the goals +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00429-00279405-00279987 even when the going gets tough so if we're talking about depression here you know taking medication +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00430-00279987-00280638 and going to counseling are two options getting adequate sleep eating a nutritious diet exercising +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00431-00280638-00281154 there are multiple strategies so we want to help clients identify what's going to work for them +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00432-00281154-00281868 and what do they need to do to stay motivated to use those strategies encourage them to use +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00433-00281868-00282432 failure as a learning experience so they can develop hope from that you know what I learned +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00434-00282432-00283014 one thing that I'm never going to do again yet that's great so you were honest with yourself +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00435-00283014-00283614 about what didn't work so you're not gonna make the same mistake score reflect on times of success +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00436-00283614-00284169 and find meaning in what you do even the little things like doing dishes why do you do dishes +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00437-00284169-00284859 well for me I do dishes because I'm a lot more relaxed if my kitchen is clean that's just how I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00438-00284859-00285651 was raised contribute value to the community some people find hope by giving to others and invest in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00439-00285651-00286236 positive relationships if you have other people that are inspiring you it gives you hope that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00440-00286236-00286845 you can inspire others it gives you hope that you can be happy like them too so investing in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00441-00286845-00287598 positive relationships helps maintain hope courage means having the internal strength and belief that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00442-00287598-00288102 you can do things which may not be immediately rewarding or that are threatening or scary and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00443-00288102-00288735 sometimes the first thing we want to do is not the best choice it's not going to make the pain +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00444-00288735-00289440 and what we need to do is not going to make the pain go away right away so choosing what's going +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00445-00289440-00290106 to help us reach our ultimate goals may not make us feel so good right now think about you know +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00446-00290106-00290871 for me chocolate at the end of the day you know after after dinner I like to have dessert and that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00447-00290871-00291468 I like dessert it's just a good thing but it's not necessarily gonna help me achieve my health +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00448-00291468-00292215 goals if I have two helpings of dessert so does it mean I have to you know have the courage and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00449-00292215-00292914 the discipline to not have a second helping yes it does so I can achieve my ultimate goals would +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00450-00292914-00293628 having a second helping make me really happy right now yeah I could however again long-term goals I'm +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00451-00293628-00294090 gonna be much happier in the long term if I'm healthier and therefore my kids and all that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00452-00294090-00294750 kind of stuff in order to develop courage have people reflect on what they've accomplished in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00453-00294750-00295266 the past because my guess is their life hasn't just been a cakewalk they've encountered things +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00454-00295266-00295788 they've gone through things they've survived things so what if they'd done you know how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00455-00295788-00296274 courageous are they and most people will realize that there are a lot more courageous than they +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00456-00296274-00296925 give themself credit for identify your supports that can help you no matter how much courage we +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00457-00296925-00297666 have we don't necessarily have the ability to take on everything by ourselves and it takes a lot of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00458-00297666-00298398 courage to ask for help and remind yourself that failure is always a learning opportunity so the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00459-00298398-00298947 courage to do things you know you're getting ready to start trying to do this new task at +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00460-00298947-00299502 work when we had to learn our first EMR oh my gosh and I'd be good with computers in general +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00461-00299502-00300543 but that was just wow so going into that class and getting ready to try to learn this new complicated +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00462-00300543-00301257 computer program was pretty overwhelming so I had to remind myself that failure is a learning +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00463-00301257-00301812 opportunity and have the courage to sit there and try to do it and ask questions because you know +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00464-00301812-00302427 I felt like I was being a pest asking questions every six seconds but that enabled other people +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00465-00302427-00303108 to get their questions answered so the supports you know asking questions and having people in +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00466-00303108-00303591 my office that were good with the EMR that could help me and reminding myself that you know what +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00467-00303591-00304197 just because this is not my strong suit doesn't mean that I'm a failure it means that I'm not +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00468-00304197-00304971 so good with our particular a.m. our willingness means being able to actually do the things that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00469-00304971-00305526 you have the courage to do so maybe you have the courage or you think you have the courage +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00470-00305526-00306147 to go bungee jumping well that's awesome but if you don't have the willingness if you're +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00471-00306147-00306717 not willing to actually dive you're you'll tell everybody no problem I go skydiving I go bungee +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00472-00306717-00307449 jumping it's not a big deal but actually doing it oh well wait you actually meant I had to jump out +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00473-00307449-00308088 of a perfectly good airplane no that's not gonna happen so willingness means being able to take +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00474-00308088-00308850 that courage that you think you have and actually do what it is put yourself out there once you have +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00475-00308850-00309546 the goal the plan and the courage you need to get started sometimes this is what keeps people from +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00476-00309546-00309999 getting started in recovery from getting started with treatment because they've got the courage +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00477-00309999-00311157 they really want to get better but they are afraid of if they if they get started what's gonna happen +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00478-00311157-00311679 so we need to go back to courage again so courage and willingness typically you got to go back and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00479-00311679-00312246 forth a few times so ask people what keeps you getting from getting started on tasks and how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00480-00312246-00312879 can you increase your motivation sometimes that comes back to increasing courage and you know +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00481-00312879-00313653 maybe recognizing what is important about that whatever the task is that they're doing and being +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00482-00313653-00314169 honest with themselves if it's something you know that they just really don't want to do acknowledge +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00483-00314169-00314661 it instead of fighting with it and go okay well this is going to be an unpleasant two hours but +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00484-00314661-00315579 I can get through it instead of trying to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist so putting it +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00485-00315579-00316062 together it's important for clients to get honest with themselves and about and others about their +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00486-00316062-00316635 goals so they can understand what their needs and wants are for a rich and meaningful life +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00487-00316635-00317297 because what yours are maybe different from mine probably are develop hope bye ident find the +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00488-00317297-00317840 steps that they can take to achieve those goals increase faith that you'll be able to achieve +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00489-00317840-00318482 your goals by reflecting on prior successes and getting feedback on your plan muster the courage +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00490-00318482-00319253 and willingness to get started and then regularly reflect on actions and progress to maintain hope +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00491-00319253-00319934 and motivation so as clients work through their treatment plan have them regularly reflect on +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00492-00319934-00320522 how far they've come in order to maintain hope that Wow I've got momentum I can keep this going +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00493-00320522-00321332 and you know what maybe I can be happy whatever that means for your client so honesty with self +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00494-00321332-00322085 helps people be more aware of and effectively meet their needs and wants honesty with self also helps +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00495-00322085-00322571 people identify identify roadblocks to achieving their goals instead of going I don't know why I +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00496-00322571-00323192 didn't do that well dig deep let's get honest and figure out why didn't you do that honesty +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00497-00323192-00323645 with others develops healthier relationships and it's important to understand that even though +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00498-00323645-00324257 there may be the occasional conflict conflict isn't necessarily bad it's just you know kind of +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00499-00324257-00324755 a hiccup in the road have you ever driven down a road for a hundred and fifty miles and never +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00500-00324755-00325433 had hit a crack or a pothole I don't think so at least not around here so you know relationships +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00501-00325433-00326018 are kind of the same way conflict can be a little pothole it doesn't have to be a gaping sinkhole +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00502-00326018-00326660 that swallows up your car being honest with people develops healthier relationships and +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00503-00326660-00327353 enhances trust dishonesty takes many forms including justifying lying or just simply +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00504-00327353-00327974 ignoring what's going on and many people who struggle with depression which you know what I'm +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00505-00327974-00328523 talking about here is especially the hopelessness and helplessness aspect often also struggle with +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00506-00328523-00329033 the lack of honesty hope and faith so if we can help them develop hope that things can get better +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00507-00329033-00329819 and hope and faith that they actually have the ability to make things better for them than it is +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00508-00329819-00330998 then it's something that can help them get more motivated and believe in the process 80% or more +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00509-00330998-00331664 of what happens in treatment is dictated by our clients and by the momentum just like +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00510-00331664-00332153 they they've done those studies that have shown how much of it is therapeutic technique and how +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00511-00332153-00332834 much of it is you know the relationship that we have and the belief the client has that +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00512-00332834-00333551 they can get better that this is going to work their faith in the process and themselves okay +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00513-00333551-00334613 are there any questions and EMR is electronic medical record and I hate those things I hate +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00514-00334613-00335606 them with a passion they're necessary they're mandatory if you take Medicaid or Medicare but any +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00515-00335606-00336065 anyhow you know I'm just being honest I realize they serve a purpose and I have to know them +ZzKiFDXNR-y-00516-00336065-00336983 alright everybody have an awesome day today's Tuesday and I'll see you on y'all on Thursday

Another one, the atoms and molecules in your body... +Z-xW96kEvHI-00022-00007504-00007939 are traceable to the crucibles in the centers of stars +Z-xW96kEvHI-00023-00007939-00008332 that manufacture these elements over its life span +Z-xW96kEvHI-00024-00008332-00008480 When unstable... +Z-xW96kEvHI-00025-00008480-00008960 on death, exploding its enriched guts across the galaxy +Z-xW96kEvHI-00026-00008960-00009450 scattering it into gas clouds that would ultimately collapse and make a star +Z-xW96kEvHI-00027-00009450-00009809 and have the right ingredients to make planets and people +Z-xW96kEvHI-00028-00009809-00010121 Which means we are part of this universe +Z-xW96kEvHI-00029-00010121-00010521 as I've said many times, and this goes back... Not only are we in the universe +Z-xW96kEvHI-00030-00010521-00010740 the universe is in us! +Z-xW96kEvHI-00031-00010740-00010998 That is a profound concept +Z-xW96kEvHI-00032-00010998-00011463 and it was...I think it's the greatest gift that astrophysics gave culture +Z-xW96kEvHI-00033-00011463-00011606 in the twentieth century +Z-xW96kEvHI-00034-00011606-00011970 There was a research paper in nineteen fifty seven and I say that because +Z-xW96kEvHI-00035-00011970-00012447 one of the authors just died, like two days ago Jeff Burbidge. Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler and Hoyle +Z-xW96kEvHI-00036-00012447-00012793 One of the most famous research papers that no one ever heard of! You know why, I think? +Z-xW96kEvHI-00037-00012793-00013222 Because that's four authors, not just one, and it took decades to figure out +Z-xW96kEvHI-00038-00013222-00013510 And it wasn't just somebody burning the midnight oil +Z-xW96kEvHI-00039-00013510-00013983 So it doesn't lend itself to poetry or screenplays, cause it's a collaboration so nobody wrote about it +Z-xW96kEvHI-00040-00013983-00014272 But we knew that we are star stuff +Z-xW96kEvHI-00041-00014272-00014698 We knew that we are stardust at the middle of the twentieth century +Z-xW96kEvHI-00042-00014698-00014974 That connects us to the universe like no other fact +Z-xW96kEvHI-00043-00014974-00015077 That's beautiful +ZA-PUxK-j64-00000-00000000-00000200 Hello Friends +ZDqEnO9De8M-00000-00000000-00000200 Best Free Lofi vst plugin +ZHhi1eRnyk0-00000-00000000-00000072 hjiiojhgf +ZHRW41UpPlE-00000-00000916-00001074 Are you guys done the project of lights? +ZHRW41UpPlE-00001-00001124-00001224 Nah fam, not yet. +ZHRW41UpPlE-00002-00001244-00001346 Oh my god!

I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00778-00157100-00157230 asked two times within the last +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00779-00157230-00157383 month and the reply was that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00780-00157383-00157500 they’re out of that color paint +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00781-00157500-00157643 and are awaiting the in order +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00782-00157643-00157873 to arrive. I’m guessing that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00783-00157873-00158026 that paint is extremely hard to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00784-00158026-00158146 get or maybe due to COVID +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00785-00158146-00158333 things are backed up. I’m +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00786-00158333-00158533 concerned that they’re that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00787-00158533-00158723 they covered my AC vents with a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00788-00158723-00158920 metal cover and said that when +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00789-00158920-00159000 summer comes, they’ll get it +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00790-00159000-00159143 removed, I hope I don’t have to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00791-00159143-00159350 wait until summer is over for +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00792-00159350-00159636 them to remove it. Also if you +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00793-00159636-00159880 call in regards to any rent +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00794-00159880-00159970 situation, they’ll ask you to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00795-00159970-00160196 come in and then after looking +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00796-00160196-00160350 a few hours. Of work because +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00797-00160350-00160480 you had an appointment, they’ll +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00798-00160480-00160596 tell you they can’t help you +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00799-00160596-00160780 and to reach out to Section +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00800-00160780-00160980 eight. Lastly, I believe +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00801-00160980-00161166 there’s oh, I’m not going to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00802-00161166-00161286 read that part because it names +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00803-00161286-00161530 people and then the third +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00804-00161530-00161793 tenant also a very quick quick +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00805-00161793-00161956 statement so they should have +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00806-00161956-00162060 repaired the first the inner +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00807-00162060-00162186 parts of the building getting +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00808-00162186-00162353 rid of the nasty rusty old +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00809-00162353-00162583 pipes and other interior +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00810-00162583-00162696 situations the building might +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00811-00162696-00162860 have then work and repair to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00812-00162860-00162990 the outer parts of the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00813-00162990-00163120 building. Instead they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00814-00163120-00163310 prioritize the outer. Parts of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00815-00163310-00163430 the building they send like +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00816-00163430-00163650 three plumbers and a handyman, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00817-00163650-00163796 and finally the last plumber +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00818-00163796-00164023 after 2 years came to fix it +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00819-00164023-00164076 looks like they finally sent +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00820-00164076-00164323 some real plumbers and after +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00821-00164323-00164480 having a leak for 2 years that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00822-00164480-00164723 all the water falls on me, they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00823-00164723-00164873 found out they broke the wall +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00824-00164873-00165030 and tomorrow they have to put +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00825-00165030-00165276 in new pipes. The pipes are +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00826-00165276-00165473 real rotten and old. I can’t +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00827-00165473-00165676 use my washing machine. There’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00828-00165676-00165783 something stuck in the pipe +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00829-00165783-00165966 when I wash and spin the water +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00830-00165966-00166230 comes up and they know this. So +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00831-00166230-00166373 it’s kind of a similar story of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00832-00166373-00166596 you know repairs not being met, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00833-00166596-00166790 but also, I think the fact that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00834-00166790-00166916 the outside of of the buildings +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00835-00166916-00167183 is being prioritized over the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00836-00167183-00167636 inside of the buildings. Okay +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00837-00167636-00168040 up Next we have Chris Banks +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00838-00168040-00168276 from boulevard houses Chris are +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00839-00168276-00168693 you on the call still? +ZIx9CSmxUQU-00840-00169116-00169536 Let’s see.

One is Lenox the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01677-00347233-00347326 Lenox Street Housing Project, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01678-00347326-00347496 one of the first four public +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01679-00347496-00347673 housing project builds in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01680-00347673-00347950 Boston and it has been it was +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01681-00347950-00348193 going to be be privatized under +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01682-00348193-00348330 RAD, but now that’s changed and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01683-00348330-00348613 it’s been given over. Beacon, a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01684-00348613-00348723 developer and Bank of America +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01685-00348723-00348923 Bank of America, is the main +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01686-00348923-00349173 owner of the buildings. And the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01687-00349173-00349400 other place is across the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01688-00349400-00349573 street. We’ve been working here +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01689-00349573-00349626 and we’ve been working with +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01690-00349626-00349900 with residents. Yeah.

And +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01778-00365950-00366090 that was like 2 years ago and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01779-00366090-00366343 so, for example at Lenox the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01780-00366343-00366463 new owner, Beacon and Bank of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01781-00366463-00366676 America are going to get $3400 +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01782-00366676-00366980 per for every three bedroom +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01783-00366980-00367133 under the contract under RAD, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01784-00367133-00367246 they would have got an 1800. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01785-00367246-00367383 they just get it’s just a way +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01786-00367383-00367536 to get you know to to fork over +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01787-00367536-00367880 more money to them without and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01788-00367880-00368040 and to protect tenants even +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01789-00368040-00368500 less.

Residents there are few +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01811-00371796-00371853 residents who don’t have +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01812-00371853-00372026 section eight eight and they’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01813-00372026-00372126 just going to be paying a lot +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01814-00372126-00372196 more and then the government is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01815-00372196-00372543 going to be paying. the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01816-00372543-00372776 partners at Grant Manor banks +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01817-00372776-00372840 and the management company +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01818-00372840-00373183 Wingate a lot more. but +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01819-00373183-00373263 basically grant manner so it +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01820-00373263-00373480 wasn’t public housing, but it +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01821-00373480-00373733 was built privately but with +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01822-00373733-00374000 hard money. and this is in the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01823-00374000-00374180 70s at the time when he decided +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01824-00374180-00374276 actually we don’t want to do +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01825-00374276-00374383 public housing anymore. We’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01826-00374383-00374560 going to just let the private +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01827-00374560-00374796 sector take over and so.

And the vast +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01891-00386350-00386570 majority receive people +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01892-00386570-00386686 residents receive a subsidy +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01893-00386686-00386746 through Section eight, but now +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01894-00386746-00386846 they’re facing a big rent +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01895-00386846-00387083 increase they’ve been fighting +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01896-00387083-00387256 to prevent that and to get all +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01897-00387256-00387480 the repairs needed because much +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01898-00387480-00387540 like with privatization, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01899-00387540-00387636 they’ve been told well, this +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01900-00387636-00387893 rent increase will help fix the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01901-00387893-00387966 repairs, but the repairs +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01902-00387966-00388056 haven’t happened for quite a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01903-00388056-00388366 while. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01904-00388830-00388986 It’s my turn now. Yeah, you’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01905-00388986-00389340 up. Jackie. Oh okay. Hi like I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01906-00389340-00389633 said. My name is Jackie. So, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01907-00389633-00390030 yeah, like I said. like I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01908-00390030-00390496 stated. I believe the plan is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01909-00390496-00390796 to just let to just run the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01910-00390796-00391023 building into the ground to run +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01911-00391023-00391286 people away to divide and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01912-00391286-00391550 conquer because I guess they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01913-00391550-00391790 figured residents would want to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01914-00391790-00391996 move if. you were getting +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01915-00391996-00392380 threatened or if you live in. a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01916-00392380-00392596 building and you see that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01917-00392596-00392976 repairs aren’t getting done. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01918-00392976-00393136 We’ve been harassed, we’ve been +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01919-00393136-00393730 threatened. By management, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01920-00393730-00393923 Really, like they shouldn’t +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01921-00393923-00394226 have their jobs but they do +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01922-00394226-00394586 even though they physically. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01923-00394586-00394730 They’ve been threatening and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01924-00394730-00394940 trying to fight people like +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01925-00394940-00395016 literally trying to fight +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01926-00395016-00395480 people. I’ve reported floods in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01927-00395480-00395773 my roof leaking countless +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01928-00395773-00395956 times, but it’s not until you +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01929-00395956-00396180 get a bigger organization or +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01930-00396180-00396446 that people really begin to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01931-00396446-00396713 listen to you because you’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01932-00396713-00397090 kind of just like this one. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01933-00397090-00397230 This you’re just one little +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01934-00397230-00397446 person complaining all the time +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01935-00397446-00397973 or. even calling. Even calling +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01936-00397973-00398410 down to the office or +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01937-00398433-00398680 Calling one of the state sites +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01938-00398680-00398886 you know, it’s just literal you +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01939-00398886-00399130 so they always just try to go +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01940-00399130-00399473 against you and basically. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01941-00399473-00399703 basically just tell you no to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01942-00399703-00399886 everything because they figured +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01943-00399886-00400026 you have no proof and it’s just +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01944-00400026-00400180 you and what are you going to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01945-00400180-00400356 prove? there’s no way you can +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01946-00400356-00400673 prove. Everything to anyone if +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01947-00400673-00401036 it’s just one person but. I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01948-00401036-00401293 believe that’s just the plan. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01949-00401293-00401433 because if you have a whole +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01950-00401433-00401576 team, you have a whole team of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01951-00401576-00401826 security, you have janitors +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01952-00401826-00402073 that are here every day from +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01953-00402073-00402630 like seven to 5 PM. you have +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01954-00402630-00402730 maintenance. you know why +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01955-00402730-00402816 aren’t they fixing things +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01956-00402816-00403043 properly like you see other? I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01957-00403043-00403180 see other the development +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01958-00403180-00403466 sometimes they have when they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01959-00403466-00403560 have a bigger issue that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01960-00403560-00403780 maintenance can’t fix they call +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01961-00403780-00403986 in whatever profession. They +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01962-00403986-00404443 need to call in. to fix it like +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01963-00404443-00404740 the leaks where we’ve had major +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01964-00404740-00404966 leaks for maybe like a year +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01965-00404966-00405196 where I couldn’t even go out +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01966-00405196-00405356 into the hallway and leave my +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01967-00405356-00405593 house because the whole area +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01968-00405593-00405830 where the elevators were was +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01969-00405830-00406173 just flooded. With just you +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01970-00406173-00406383 know that whole area was just +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01971-00406383-00406470 flooded and the only other +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01972-00406470-00406930 option was the stairs. but if +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01973-00406930-00407186 you have major water issues in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01974-00407186-00407333 your building in your +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01975-00407333-00407546 apartment, think about the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01976-00407546-00407880 health risk. Think about the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01977-00407880-00408126 health risks like how are you +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01978-00408126-00408366 contributing to? people’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01979-00408366-00408543 health risk? and you know +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01980-00408543-00408683 that’s another issue in itself? +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01981-00408683-00408953 that’s not being addressed. I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01982-00408953-00409070 have mold in my bathroom right +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01983-00409070-00409250 now I’ve had mold since I’ve +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01984-00409250-00409393 been here. it’s hidden under +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01985-00409393-00409876 some type of. Some type of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01986-00409876-00409996 hardened material, but it’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01987-00409996-00410300 actually growing through that. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01988-00410300-00410643 and it’s black mold. and the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01989-00410643-00411076 rats you know and and roaches +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01990-00411076-00411323 they but again they get it. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01991-00411323-00411426 They receive a lot of money +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01992-00411426-00411839 from the residents and. from +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01993-00411839-00412103 the city so it’s kind of like +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01994-00412103-00412376 why aren’t you fixing these +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01995-00412376-00412586 issues, which is probably to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01996-00412586-00412980 just run. Into the ground and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01997-00412980-00413250 say they these are the well we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01998-00413250-00413480 have so many issues here that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-01999-00413480-00413800 we this is our only this is our +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02000-00413800-00414086 only plan now. This is what we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02001-00414086-00414400 have to do. But people have +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02002-00414400-00414513 been talking about these things +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02003-00414513-00415040 for years. you know so. yeah, I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02004-00415040-00415183 think the plan is to just run +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02005-00415183-00415533 the buildings into the ground. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02006-00415533-00415693 Do whatever they want to do to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02007-00415693-00416030 the building. to move people +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02008-00416030-00416333 wherever and maybe. eventually +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02009-00416333-00416453 tell them. Oh they can’t move +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02010-00416453-00416843 back or something and to turn +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02011-00416843-00416900 the building into something +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02012-00416900-00417150 else or yeah to basically turn +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02013-00417150-00417293 the building into something +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02014-00417293-00417486 else. You know if you’re not +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02015-00417486-00417663 considered a so called elite if +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02016-00417663-00417910 you’re not making. such amount +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02017-00417910-00418176 of money, even though you are, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02018-00418176-00418353 but your money is just going to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02019-00418353-00418576 wherever it needs to go to to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02020-00418576-00418696 bills, food or whatever and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02021-00418696-00418933 you’re just not. That extra +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02022-00418933-00419273 profit that maybe the wealthier +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02023-00419273-00419533 people are making. Yeah, and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02024-00419533-00419683 we’re spending more money and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02025-00419683-00420050 you know the wealthy doesn’t +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02026-00420050-00420280 spend as much on taxes and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02027-00420280-00420476 things you know as the working +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02028-00420476-00420890 class does. so yeah. So I’m +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02029-00420890-00421130 glad we just have a whole group +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02030-00421130-00421473 to fight against that. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02031-00421530-00421726 Thank you so much Jackie well +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02032-00421726-00422080 said. next step is Isa from +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02033-00422080-00422276 from Lenox Lenox Street +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02034-00422276-00422350 projects, which are right +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02035-00422350-00422453 across the road from Grant +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02036-00422453-00422686 Manor. There’s 285 units there, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02037-00422686-00422830 and as Alonso mentioned they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02038-00422830-00422926 were being being privatized +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02039-00422926-00423116 under RAD and then without +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02040-00423116-00423280 notifying any residents, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02041-00423280-00423380 Everything was changed to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02042-00423380-00423653 section eighteen. and as the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02043-00423653-00423740 writer will explain the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02044-00423740-00424033 situation is is is pretty rough +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02045-00424033-00424210 there, but people are coming +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02046-00424210-00424356 together. So in that sense, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02047-00424356-00424703 it’s not so rough. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02048-00424820-00425076 Hi everybody. Good night.

I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02063-00429286-00429676 had been very very difficult. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02064-00429676-00430036 I’ve been experienced a racist +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02065-00430036-00430573 racism.

I am a public +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02168-00454393-00454516 housing resident. I’ve been a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02169-00454516-00454650 resident of public housing +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02170-00454650-00455180 since 22. 2004 and as many as. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02171-00455180-00455430 And so in Minneapolis and we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02172-00455430-00455676 found out about our homes and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02173-00455676-00455853 the fact that MPA Minneapolis +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02174-00455853-00455996 Public Housing Authority wanted +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02175-00455996-00456333 to demolish our homes in 2014, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02176-00456333-00456400 so I’ve lived there for 10 +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02177-00456400-00456600 years when I found out about it +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02178-00456600-00456736 and actually I didn’t find out +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02179-00456736-00456993 to just them telling me it was +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02180-00456993-00457130 through the white neighborhood +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02181-00457130-00457343 neighbors that lived around us +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02182-00457343-00457436 that we’re hearing about it +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02183-00457436-00457596 through their board meetings in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02184-00457596-00457753 their neighborhoods where MPH a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02185-00457753-00457973 wanted to get their permission. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02186-00457973-00458396 It was okay for them to to to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02187-00458396-00458530 demolish us without telling +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02188-00458530-00458726 residents so when I found out +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02189-00458726-00458880 that through a long story, I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02190-00458880-00459000 went around and I door knocked +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02191-00459000-00459123 and I found out that no one +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02192-00459123-00459196 knew anything about it and my +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02193-00459196-00459350 background is in community +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02194-00459350-00459526 organizing and and leadership +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02195-00459526-00459703 development. So I was just like +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02196-00459703-00459830 it was just a natural thing for +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02197-00459830-00460000 me to get people together and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02198-00460000-00460106 then we we all knew that we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02199-00460106-00460236 were being duped after many +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02200-00460236-00460533 many meetings of us asking +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02201-00460533-00460676 questions about what is going +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02202-00460676-00460796 on and not being told the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02203-00460796-00461130 truth. In 2015, we were able to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02204-00461130-00461396 stop at Glendale and we thought +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02205-00461396-00461500 that would be the end of it, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02206-00461500-00461633 but the reason why we stopped +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02207-00461633-00461766 RAD is because MPH a was +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02208-00461766-00461903 embarrassed and the city was +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02209-00461903-00462100 embarrassed that that people +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02210-00462100-00462200 were coming out and this is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02211-00462200-00462306 going to this is turning out to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02212-00462306-00462483 be a racial thing and they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02213-00462483-00462630 paused it. They told us that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02214-00462630-00462783 they stopped it, but in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02215-00462783-00462990 reality, we found out that they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02216-00462990-00463200 paused it and in and so to all +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02217-00463200-00463493 of 2016 we were fighting to get +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02218-00463493-00463586 MPH A and the city of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02219-00463586-00463710 Minneapolis to pass an +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02220-00463710-00463796 ordinance where they will not +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02221-00463796-00464030 demo. Glendale and in 2014 and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02222-00464030-00464226 2015 is when we created our +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02223-00464226-00464430 campaign, which is all resident +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02224-00464430-00464639 led called in public Housing +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02225-00464639-00464800 Coalition and we didn’t trust +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02226-00464800-00465050 the nonprofits in our in our in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02227-00465050-00465183 our in our city to to help us +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02228-00465183-00465333 even though we went to them for +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02229-00465333-00465490 help, they actually undermined +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02230-00465490-00465620 us and we make sure that our +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02231-00465620-00465846 space was only resident led +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02232-00465846-00465960 because that is the only way +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02233-00465960-00466033 we’re going to be moving +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02234-00466033-00466133 forward and that was the key +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02235-00466133-00466313 for us to actually even last +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02236-00466313-00466460 this long because a lot of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02237-00466460-00466616 people were not, we’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02238-00466616-00466730 undermining us and there was a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02239-00466730-00466816 lot of folks that would come. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02240-00466816-00466926 With the white privilege think +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02241-00466926-00466996 that they know everything and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02242-00466996-00467196 then they end up like making +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02243-00467196-00467353 things worse for us.

And talk about +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02314-00478770-00478916 briefly right before I end +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02315-00478916-00479293 this. before I end my piece at +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02316-00479293-00479466 Ellis with RAD was converted. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02317-00479466-00479780 only two people were Greg’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02318-00479780-00479940 pick two people to say, Hey, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02319-00479940-00480116 you guys can write the letter +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02320-00480116-00480343 as a resident council and move +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02321-00480343-00480516 on with that. And then that’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02322-00480516-00480726 what they use to run to to to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02323-00480726-00480876 send a letter to her and to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02324-00480876-00481000 send the letter to the city to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02325-00481000-00481146 say the resident council +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02326-00481146-00481280 approved it the residents never +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02327-00481280-00481380 approved that we’ve been +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02328-00481380-00481500 protesting it for 2 years. we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02329-00481500-00481696 started. Organizing together +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02330-00481696-00481826 and we realized that the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02331-00481826-00481930 residents were also being +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02332-00481930-00482100 silenced intimidated, which is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02333-00482100-00482230 very good at what Greg Russ +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02334-00482230-00482400 does, and that’s really really +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02335-00482400-00482526 important to know and they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02336-00482526-00482730 proposed relocation plot, which +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02337-00482730-00482880 was basically an eviction plan, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02338-00482880-00482973 and there was no guarantee that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02339-00482973-00483156 the rents were going to be 30% +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02340-00483156-00483350 of income. That’s also very +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02341-00483350-00483426 important to know because the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02342-00483426-00483676 residents at most of the time +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02343-00483676-00483850 the residents are really really +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02344-00483850-00483963 concerned about the the rents +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02345-00483963-00484080 being increased and RAD is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02346-00484080-00484220 notorious for that. so as a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02347-00484220-00484466 result with the controversy +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02348-00484466-00484580 really build. Up in in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02349-00484580-00484716 Minneapolis with RAD, he also +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02350-00484716-00484876 brought in section eighteen now +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02351-00484876-00485050 section eighteen, and I wanted +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02352-00485050-00485180 to kind of make corrections +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02353-00485180-00485320 about it. Section eighteen was +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02354-00485320-00485476 was a program that was used in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02355-00485476-00485680 the past for homes that were +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02356-00485680-00485826 really too too bad to be. I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02357-00485826-00485990 mean it was in such a bad shape +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02358-00485990-00486100 that you can’t really do +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02359-00486100-00486230 anything with it and you have +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02360-00486230-00486480 to the the the the Housing +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02361-00486480-00486650 authority has to show that they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02362-00486650-00486816 are really in need of money and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02363-00486816-00486980 they sell it on their disposal +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02364-00486980-00487066 and demolish it. That was the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02365-00487066-00487176 point of section eighteen and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02366-00487176-00487350 before Trump, you couldn’t +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02367-00487350-00487500 really get rid of. You can’t +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02368-00487500-00487666 really impose section eighteen +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02369-00487666-00487900 this way it was only 5% of the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02370-00487900-00488083 total stock of a housing +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02371-00488083-00488300 authority. can you actually try +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02372-00488300-00488526 to section eighteen? Trump came +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02373-00488526-00488780 in and they expanded and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02374-00488780-00488930 deregulated and also got rid of +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02375-00488930-00489180 all the protections and they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02376-00489180-00489283 said you anybody who wants to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02377-00489283-00489483 use Section eighteen any +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02378-00489483-00489593 housing authority can do that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02379-00489593-00489766 so he said Greg Russ said +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02380-00489766-00489900 before he left well section +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02381-00489900-00490030 eighteen is here. Why can’t we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02382-00490030-00490250 just go ahead and use section +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02383-00490250-00490383 eighteen and people were asking +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02384-00490383-00490530 why do? Well, and he’s and I +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02385-00490530-00490633 was in a meeting where he said +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02386-00490633-00490806 to us, it’s because they’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02387-00490806-00490933 letting us do it and every time +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02388-00490933-00491033 we we I talked to him +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02389-00491033-00491196 personally because we were +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02390-00491196-00491266 protesting him everywhere he +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02391-00491266-00491550 was, he said. I am going to get +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02392-00491550-00491633 rid of public housing. Oh yeah, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02393-00491633-00491800 I see your time. Ryan just give +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02394-00491800-00491973 me one more second and I’ll be +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02395-00491973-00492173 done, he said. I’m I’m going to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02396-00492173-00492323 get rid of public housing and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02397-00492323-00492423 and and that is the that is his +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02398-00492423-00492593 point. That’s why he came here +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02399-00492593-00492780 when things got worse is when +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02400-00492780-00492989 he went over to to Nasa and at +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02401-00492989-00493143 the same time, it’s what Nasa +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02402-00493143-00493383 was I guess handpicked him so. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02403-00493383-00493623 Can be reversed, It’s can be +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02404-00493623-00493786 reversed to what it was before. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02405-00493786-00494050 Trump came back came in and and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02406-00494050-00494280 RAD could also be regulated +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02407-00494280-00494430 because Maxine Waters wrote +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02408-00494430-00494596 about RAD and how RAD does not +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02409-00494596-00494733 work and how RAD was supposed +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02410-00494733-00494830 to be some sort of a pilot +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02411-00494830-00494976 project that continued to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02412-00494976-00495130 expand. so we really need to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02413-00495130-00495233 understand that so section +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02414-00495233-00495396 eighteen the reason why they’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02415-00495396-00495483 using section eighteen right +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02416-00495483-00495733 now is because there’s there’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02417-00495733-00495796 all the all the protections and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02418-00495796-00495940 resident protections have been +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02419-00495940-00496123 gutted and that is why there’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02420-00496123-00496330 it’s so easy easier than RAD. +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02421-00496330-00496476 Now and that’s something that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02422-00496476-00496586 they are and Greg Ross is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02423-00496586-00496746 pushing that Greg Ross. He’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02424-00496746-00496976 he’s everywhere. He’s he’s he’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02425-00496976-00497180 out in Boston in Minneapolis in +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02426-00497180-00497380 New York City. He’s the we We +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02427-00497380-00497583 named him the of privatization +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02428-00497583-00497733 and gentrification, so it’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02429-00497733-00497880 really important to remember +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02430-00497880-00498030 that our residents who were who +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02431-00498030-00498183 were converted in Minneapolis +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02432-00498183-00498456 at eighteen was 717 homes and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02433-00498456-00498590 they’re still trying to convert +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02434-00498590-00498726 it. No money came in and +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02435-00498726-00498886 nothing was repaired so the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02436-00498886-00499093 whole point about repairs being +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02437-00499093-00499196 being something big that you’re +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02438-00499196-00499383 trying to sell it to. Residents +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02439-00499383-00499476 that’s not true and I just want +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02440-00499476-00499676 to make another thing another +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02441-00499676-00499833 important point is that it’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02442-00499833-00500026 really important to organize +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02443-00500026-00500196 and fight back and we have to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02444-00500196-00500336 have the residents leading the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02445-00500336-00500506 fight because residents are the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02446-00500506-00500666 ones who are in pain. We are +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02447-00500666-00500880 the ones who are suffering from +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02448-00500880-00501030 the death and we are the ones +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02449-00501030-00501270 who cannot give up. It’s our +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02450-00501270-00501426 homes they want to destroy our +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02451-00501426-00501633 communities. This is not +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02452-00501633-00501840 abundant issue.

That’s what +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02487-00507060-00507280 this is about and Greg Ross is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02488-00507280-00507433 is notorious. He’s done this +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02489-00507433-00507616 all over the city all over the +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02490-00507616-00507830 city all over in in in all over +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02491-00507830-00507933 the nation in different cities, +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02492-00507933-00507996 and it’s not something he’s +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02493-00507996-00508230 going to stop.

This is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02523-00512830-00513030 nothing else than that. So +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02524-00513030-00513096 that’s it’s really it’s really +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02525-00513096-00513260 important to to know that I’ll +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02526-00513260-00513490 put in some links on there that +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02527-00513490-00513753 we wrote.

They’re simply +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02971-00600726-00600876 stating what actually is +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02972-00600876-00601000 happening and and residents +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02973-00601000-00601280 follow protocol and then OHA +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02974-00601280-00601426 for housing authorities not +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02975-00601426-00601700 just a they don’t follow +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02976-00601700-00601800 through with the plan that they +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02977-00601800-00601920 tell residents they should be +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02978-00601920-00602090 doing to fix these problems. so +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02979-00602090-00602223 it’s time to make our own plan +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02980-00602223-00602400 and I think that’s. We heard a +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02981-00602400-00602643 lot, especially from Brenda +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02982-00602643-00602746 right at the beginning that we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02983-00602746-00602880 need to keep fighting you know +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02984-00602880-00602973 and and that this relationship +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02985-00602973-00603123 even if it’s a private +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02986-00603123-00603316 developer, it’s still going to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02987-00603316-00603446 continue. so so what’s really +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02988-00603446-00603836 the issue right seems like. we +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02989-00603836-00603983 know that we’re being lied to +ZIx9CSmxUQU-02990-00603983-00604576 it and oh, yeah a bit a lot.

being irresponsible, not setting priorities… +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00006-00002538-00002748 but is that really it? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00007-00002748-00003222 Or, is there a reason that we will so often do anything to avoid the things that would +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00008-00003222-00003517 bring us so much relief if they were completed? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00009-00003517-00004026 What is this paradox of doing more work to avoid doing the work, then avoiding the work +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00010-00004026-00004498 because we don’t want to think about how behind we are, and in the end ending up with +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00011-00004498-00004772 nothing to show for all that effort? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00012-00004772-00005003 What are we so afraid of? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00013-00005003-00005168 Is it a fear of Failure? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00014-00005168-00005328 Of wasting time? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00015-00005328-00005848 Perhaps the most perplexing thing about procrastination is the lengths we will go, and the work we +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00016-00005848-00006444 will do, to avoid even allowing the task to make itself a priority in our mind. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00017-00006444-00006959 We artificially reset what is important, tell ourselves little white lies, and convince +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00018-00006959-00007340 ourselves that we have a legitimate reason to be putting it off. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00019-00007340-00007490 We don’t. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00020-00007490-00008006 There is truly never a good reason to put off actions that you know will bring your +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00021-00008006-00008327 life closer to what you want it to be. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00022-00008327-00008618 What are we really putting off when we procrastinate? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00023-00008618-00009093 What is really at stake when we become procrastinators in all areas of life? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00024-00009093-00009421 The ugly truth is… everything. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00025-00009421-00010021 You need to… +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00026-00010021-00010365 The pains of procrastination are nothing to be shrugged off. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00027-00010365-00010913 It makes one feel depleted, sickly, and overcome with feeling like they have no control over +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00028-00010913-00011138 their life. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00029-00011138-00011517 Procrastination can lead to more problems than just not doing your work, it can affect +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00030-00011517-00011882 your relationships and outlook on life as a whole. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00031-00011882-00012315 This effect will continue to snowball until you don’t even have confidence in yourself +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00032-00012315-00012875 not to put things off in the future, and so you avoid taking on tasks and responsibilities +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00033-00012875-00013288 that would lead to personal growth because you just don’t feel like you can do it. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00034-00013288-00013623 In essence, it is painful, in fact… +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00035-00013623-00014125 “Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task.” +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00036-00014125-00014433 – William James While it is often the ugly truths that push +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00037-00014433-00015088 us to make a change, that doesn't mean it is easy or simple to understand why we procrastinate, +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00038-00015088-00015284 or to catch ourselves in the act. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00039-00015284-00015840 But we have to start somewhere, we have to recognize those moments when we talk ourselves +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00040-00015840-00016294 out of what we know is the right thing to work on then and there and instead turn ourselves +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00041-00016294-00016511 to some sort of distraction. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00042-00016511-00017008 To put it bluntly, if one continues to procrastinate more and more, they are essentially making +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00043-00017008-00017499 a decision to give up on the outcome they really want, whether that be completing work +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00044-00017499-00018126 on time, finishing school, going to the gym, a walk, writing in a journal, whatever it +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00045-00018126-00018226 is. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00046-00018226-00018326 because…. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00047-00018326-00018619 “Anything worth putting off is worth abandoning altogether.” +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00048-00018619-00018866 ~ Epictetus If you’ve watched our channel before then +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00049-00018866-00019297 you will be familiar with the idea of taking control of life and learning to be comfortable +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00050-00019297-00019705 with who you really are, and learning the self discipline to go after what you want +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00051-00019705-00020158 to change and forget about the rest, and this is no different. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00052-00020158-00020639 When we don’t focus our efforts we actually become the force that resists us. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00053-00020639-00021109 In a way, the work we put into things that distracts and pulls us from what we should +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00054-00021109-00021598 be doing is like intentionally running in the opposite direction of happiness. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00055-00021598-00022065 “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00056-00022065-00022268 dare that they are difficult.” +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00057-00022268-00022478 ~ Seneca We could sit here and throw out statistics +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00058-00022478-00022979 from psychology and neuroscience and what they have to say about procrastination, but +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00059-00022979-00023093 would this really help? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00060-00023093-00023448 For us, personally, right now? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00061-00023448-00023857 Psychology tells us what people tend to do, not what they should do, or even what they +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00062-00023857-00023981 are capable of doing. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00063-00023981-00024506 For most of us, this knowledge isn't helpful in making real change here and now, because +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00064-00024506-00025000 as Schopenhauer once noted, it is the book that is our life that we should make the focus +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00065-00025000-00025317 of our study, not the words of others. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00066-00025317-00025813 That isn't to say that knowing more information can’t help, it absolutely can, but when +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00067-00025813-00026263 it comes to turning words into actions, something else is needed. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00068-00026263-00026849 Philosophy can teach us that we can find the answers ourselves, and, really, only we can +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00069-00026849-00027361 find the right answers that fit our lives, otherwise we are only adopting a temporary +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00070-00027361-00027880 bandage, like watching motivational videos or following some program, they always run +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00071-00027880-00028133 their course and stop working. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00072-00028133-00028258 Why? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00073-00028258-00028689 Because when we do that we are leaving the individual choices of our actions in the hands +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00074-00028689-00029139 of others hoping that if we just follow the plan we will change. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00075-00029139-00029580 In essence, we never grow up and learn to be ourselves. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00076-00029580-00030144 When you have to make a choice and don’t make it, that in itself is a choice. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00077-00030144-00030412 William James That said, there can be a lot of pressure +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00078-00030412-00030691 at the moment of a decision, big or small. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00079-00030691-00031152 We feel like we should somehow be able to make this perfect decision and if we can't +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00080-00031152-00031377 that there is something wrong with us. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00081-00031377-00031785 The truth is that the confidence to act on what you have when the moment comes is more +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00082-00031785-00032172 valuable than some perfect calculation of potential outcomes. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00083-00032172-00032664 I mean, if you really stop and think about it, how could you ever make sense of all of +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00084-00032664-00033125 the sense data you have ever ingested and calculate some perfect course of action to +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00085-00033125-00033344 account for every variable? +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00086-00033344-00033911 It is IMPOSSIBLE, and anyone telling you otherwise is lying or trying to sell you something. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00087-00033911-00034347 But don’t just take our word for it, ask people you meet that seem to have control +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00088-00034347-00034730 over their life, ask them how they look at these moments and you might be surprised to +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00089-00034730-00035219 find out that it's less about being perfect and more about being okay with the reality +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00090-00035219-00035789 that we are defined, and our life is shaped, simply by doing, not by thinking. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00091-00035789-00035889 So… +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00092-00035889-00036430 “Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.” +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00093-00036430-00036727 ― Napoleon Bonaparte From here we need to leave the rest in your +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00094-00036727-00036827 hands. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00095-00036827-00037323 We, nor any of these philosophers and leaders, can tell you what to do, because only you +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00096-00037323-00037606 know what is important and relevant to your life. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00097-00037606-00037828 But let this be the lesson if nothing else…. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00098-00037828-00038286 Not only are you capable of changing into the person you wish you were, that one who +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00099-00038286-00038885 acts on their goals and dreams, it is actually nonsensical to think that you can’t. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00100-00038885-00039387 There is no natural ability to be productive, alter your life, and act on one's thoughts, +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00101-00039387-00039952 it is a choice, or rather, a collection of small, seemingly unimportant choices that +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00102-00039952-00040272 build up a wealth of character and self-commitment. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00103-00040272-00040803 It is so hard, but it is such a beautiful thing to meaningfully change one's own life, +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00104-00040803-00041303 that's why it is such a tragedy to put off what we could do right now. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00105-00041303-00041775 The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it. +ZRuUDWGbgCo-00106-00041775-00041785 -Arthur Schopenhauer +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00000-00001214-00001294 Hi, everyone. +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00001-00001294-00001511 Welcome back to our training session. +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00002-00001511-00001911 So in this video, we're going to learn about how we can trust our colleagues. +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00003-00001911-00002008 And +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00004-00002078-00002432 I know it's hard to build that trust from the first day +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00005-00002472-00002905 but we should start working on our trust when +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00006-00002905-00003289 we start working with our colleagues from the first day and +ZRcKdb0qZIu-00007-00003359-00003669 in this video, you're going to see how this

We're rap albums the idea that video games cause violence research +Zm_6L06c6dU-00050-00021751-00022301 Repeatedly shows us that there is no evidence that violent media like movies or video games inspire +Zm_6L06c6dU-00051-00022339-00022769 Real-world violence and back then Republicans were trying so don't blame guns blame the movies I'm saying don't blame guns +Zm_6L06c6dU-00052-00022770-00023372 Don't blame the movies that is not neither. One is the reason that people commit mass shootings second reason for the hysteria +Zm_6L06c6dU-00053-00023373-00023795 I would say is a fake news narrative as soon as the trailer for The Joker drop +Zm_6L06c6dU-00054-00023842-00024135 the blue check barked verified Twitter world +Zm_6L06c6dU-00055-00024148-00024609 Yeah, they were going around you guys heard this claiming that this would be a repeat of the aurorus +Zm_6L06c6dU-00056-00024609-00024632 Yeah +Zm_6L06c6dU-00057-00024632-00024707 in a case +Zm_6L06c6dU-00058-00024707-00025223 You have forgotten that they they were claiming that the Aurora shooter had been inspired by the Joker and dressed as yeah +Zm_6L06c6dU-00059-00025223-00025661 That's not true. Those claims were wrong. They have no the +Zm_6L06c6dU-00060-00025894-00026445 Wrong the shooter wasn't dressed like the Joker and he wasn't inspired by him dyed his hair red because his friend had dyed his hair +Zm_6L06c6dU-00061-00026477-00026570 Lu and +Zm_6L06c6dU-00062-00026570-00027047 The Joker's here is green. And by the way, only target is dark because was a blockbuster film +Zm_6L06c6dU-00063-00027047-00027352 He knew the theater would be packed. So let's keep this in mind. It's based on the idea +Zm_6L06c6dU-00064-00027352-00027703 This could be a repeat attack of an attack that never actually occurred +Zm_6L06c6dU-00065-00027777-00028429 How they claimed that in carried out. It wasn't a guy who was inspired by the Joker or or or dressed like him +Zm_6L06c6dU-00066-00028430-00028681 But the narrative that they want to continue what sin I see where our shooting +Zm_6L06c6dU-00067-00028722-00029158 They actually they use it so effectively it spooked people so much that law enforcement +Zm_6L06c6dU-00068-00029283-00029558 Actually increased security at some of these film locations +Zm_6L06c6dU-00069-00029661-00030220 counterterrorism cops with automatic weapons flanked the entrance to the heater at glitzy Lincoln Center +Zm_6L06c6dU-00070-00030220-00030526 Yep fans been laundered it and had their bags searched +Zm_6L06c6dU-00071-00030588-00031264 Legs lying the block the police presence will continue here and across the nation. Some officers will work undercover +Zm_6L06c6dU-00072-00031340-00031627 Authorities say there are no credible threats, but many are wary +Zm_6L06c6dU-00073-00031800-00032239 Because what I see that a brigade come down the street, I think credible nah +Zm_6L06c6dU-00074-00032418-00033001 You be the judge here no credible threats according to authorities, what does that tell you +Zm_6L06c6dU-00075-00033038-00033451 It tells you that rather than focus rather being able to focus on doing their job +Zm_6L06c6dU-00076-00033465-00034031 Which is to keep us the people safe today's police officers have to spend more and more of their time and resources appeasing the leftist +Zm_6L06c6dU-00077-00034031-00034519 Mob just for the purpose of optics, right and that makes us all less safe +Zm_6L06c6dU-00078-00034519-00035119 What do you think happens when you have every single police officer in town at the local multiplex for an act of violence? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00079-00035163-00035605 That's not going to happen. They've admitted it. They're responding to Rotten Tomatoes +Zm_6L06c6dU-00080-00035658-00036284 Police officers. Yeah, you're not looking at the crime report. You're not getting the CB radio. They're gonna know what's up at Metacritic today +Zm_6L06c6dU-00081-00036387-00036559 And what is the leftist mob doin response? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00082-00036559-00036943 They point to the increased security which they and they claim that +Zm_6L06c6dU-00083-00036977-00037333 There was an increased risk of danger from white males in the first place +Zm_6L06c6dU-00084-00037359-00037888 You demanded the increased security the police officer said but there's no credible threat. They increased it anyway to appease you. There you go +Zm_6L06c6dU-00085-00037888-00038413 See look look at all these police officers. You shouldn't have made this film what Kim Phoenix and you're a rapper +Zm_6L06c6dU-00086-00038675-00038861 But the media succeeded here in getting people +Zm_6L06c6dU-00087-00038861-00039397 So so freaked out that they actually turned it into a national story when someone was cheering at the movies +Zm_6L06c6dU-00088-00039397-00039863 I'm from ABC like someone cheered at the film. That was the closest to a threat my god +Zm_6L06c6dU-00089-00039874-00040461 Let me be really clear here. The only plastic the only person responsible for mass shooting is a shooter. Okay murderers +Zm_6L06c6dU-00090-00040461-00040679 Yes gonna be held accountable as murderers. Yes +Zm_6L06c6dU-00091-00040720-00040786 however +Zm_6L06c6dU-00092-00040786-00040861 if +Zm_6L06c6dU-00093-00040861-00041032 heaven forbid a mass shooting +Zm_6L06c6dU-00094-00041032-00041729 does occur at this point wouldn't the media itself be more at fault than the film if their hysteria is predicated on the idea that +Zm_6L06c6dU-00095-00041730-00042405 Films might glorify mass murders through giving mass murderers attention isn't the worst thing that they could do +Zm_6L06c6dU-00096-00042589-00042789 Create hysteria and give them attention +Zm_6L06c6dU-00097-00042811-00043274 Yeah, both beforehand, by the way, there hasn't even been a murder. There's a murder +Zm_6L06c6dU-00098-00043275-00043475 It's like the Minority Report a fake news +Zm_6L06c6dU-00099-00043507-00043851 By the way, hit the notification bell if you're subscribed because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot +Zm_6L06c6dU-00100-00043851-00044135 Please do sign up a lot of credit calm slash mug that you get way more +Zm_6L06c6dU-00101-00044152-00044520 Content and it's what keeps this this content continuing on YouTube for all of you freeloaders +Zm_6L06c6dU-00102-00044520-00045161 So here's another thing that surrounded these controversies. We love you still identity politics right common complaint of many of the the critics +Zm_6L06c6dU-00103-00045162-00045606 I don't want to say reviewers not the people in a film is too sympathetic to white men over and this came from +Zm_6L06c6dU-00104-00045619-00046160 Rolling Stone, I think CNN even went as far as I said that the entire movie is based on racism +Zm_6L06c6dU-00105-00046228-00046485 Wow, did they watch the film? Well, this is what they were +Zm_6L06c6dU-00106-00046549-00047076 Apparently they wrote that the Joker snaps in reaction to being quote oppressed by people of color and goes up in a go +Zm_6L06c6dU-00107-00047076-00047301 They go welcome movie draws from the same +Zm_6L06c6dU-00108-00047301-00047820 Well of resentment that trumps strums with his racist rhetoric at his rallies the fear of no longer being at the center of the political +Zm_6L06c6dU-00109-00047827-00048428 Social and cultural universe with everyone who isn't you positioned at perceived edges. Yeah +Zm_6L06c6dU-00110-00048429-00048879 I'm more and more convinced that these people never actually saw the movie because okay spoiler alert spoiler alert +Zm_6L06c6dU-00111-00048934-00049069 alright +Zm_6L06c6dU-00112-00049069-00049355 The Joker kills exclusively white people +Zm_6L06c6dU-00113-00049441-00050216 No, they were really trying to make sure that the melanin and the skin was directly correlated with the severity of the murder +Zm_6L06c6dU-00114-00050235-00050843 So let's look that would be race contrast this with the EC. I'm not gonna say so CW it's like it's like dead naming +Zm_6L06c6dU-00115-00050844-00051044 I'm gonna dead named CW the WB series +Zm_6L06c6dU-00116-00051181-00051753 Woman for contrast also debuted last week been praised for having the first openly lesbian +Zm_6L06c6dU-00117-00051802-00052175 Superhero lead boy. In fact, most of the reviews cite this as a point in its favor +Zm_6L06c6dU-00118-00052176-00052559 I don't I don't I don't know why that I if you're just talking about plot points, right? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00119-00052560-00053169 Like oh by the way, this she happens to be a lesbian. But this is what this show so important. Um boy is the superhero +Zm_6L06c6dU-00120-00053245-00053853 Munches carpet they even got MSNBC's Rachel Maddow spring which to play a recurring character. So, you know, it's good +Zm_6L06c6dU-00121-00053905-00054195 So Rachel Maddow there as a recurring character +Zm_6L06c6dU-00122-00054272-00054675 The broad basically has a lesbian utility belt. Okay. This is the bat woman. Yeah +Zm_6L06c6dU-00123-00054730-00054872 It's interesting +Zm_6L06c6dU-00124-00054872-00055297 To look at the media's reaction to between the take on the bit. Remember the Chappelle's special +Zm_6L06c6dU-00125-00055297-00055833 We've talked it was banned by critics the public loved it. And then you had Hannah Gatsby the feminist comedy special. We're +Zm_6L06c6dU-00126-00055925-00056125 self-deprecation is self-humiliation +Zm_6L06c6dU-00127-00056133-00056754 So this official will not be funny. That's what I look for. It wasn't funny these things were right, right +Zm_6L06c6dU-00128-00056754-00057291 We have a similar phenomenon here with the Joker and bat woman. Let's compare it you look at the critics core of Joker +Zm_6L06c6dU-00129-00057343-00058083 Versus the audience score and that's not huge 69 to 90. But then you look at bat woman 71 from the tomato meter and 10% +Zm_6L06c6dU-00130-00058162-00058563 From the audience tennis. This isn't an appeal to populous fallacy here +Zm_6L06c6dU-00131-00058563-00058971 Like I get that the fact that most people like something or just like something doesn't mean it's good or bad +Zm_6L06c6dU-00132-00058972-00059727 But when consistently the 100 percent rated on Rotten Tomatoes films are not liked by the audience. Yeah and consistently +Zm_6L06c6dU-00133-00059794-00060111 content that by the way by every measurable or ometer that you have is +Zm_6L06c6dU-00134-00060173-00060876 Artistic has merit the audience enjoys and the critics hate when it's all the time. You do have to ask yourself a question +Zm_6L06c6dU-00135-00060892-00061308 why why have we gotten to a point where the people who are in charge the +Zm_6L06c6dU-00136-00061330-00061710 Gatekeepers of trying to control what we think about meteor about content +Zm_6L06c6dU-00137-00061711-00062316 Why are they so far off the beam in relation to their audience who they're supposed to serve right now exactly +Zm_6L06c6dU-00138-00062341-00062871 Before before the pilot even aired Ruby Rose and I had to look her up Rubirosa. Who's that? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00139-00062905-00063252 Because I was still thinking about Citizen Kane as rosebud +Zm_6L06c6dU-00140-00063313-00063426 That's got confused +Zm_6L06c6dU-00141-00063426-00063816 The stories are sort of meshed together still in green and but then I realized no wait a second +Zm_6L06c6dU-00142-00063831-00064203 One is from Citizen Kane once from a WB show. Yes +Zm_6L06c6dU-00143-00064204-00064762 Now I can file it and I mental cabin got it. This this thing that woman is geared up +Zm_6L06c6dU-00144-00064810-00065145 I mean is it is t-ball. Yeah for people to like it. How do I know? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00145-00065212-00065919 Lesbians and spandex, like guys should be rating this off the chart. That's the 10% and they still hate +Zm_6L06c6dU-00146-00066001-00066201 You can't make money and vice +Zm_6L06c6dU-00147-00066262-00066712 I don't know how you guys think. It's like it's like some guy who sells crack and he has a leg up +Zm_6L06c6dU-00148-00066712-00067039 He's the only game in town. I don't know. I guess there's no more market for crack +Zm_6L06c6dU-00149-00067177-00067377 bags people +Zm_6L06c6dU-00150-00067580-00068133 Here anyway, Ruby Rose she was saying beforehand that anyone who didn't like the series was an old white man +Zm_6L06c6dU-00151-00068133-00068317 This is an interview glamour quoting her directly +Zm_6L06c6dU-00152-00068317-00068865 Some people might not see themselves on the screen and therefore not see the point but there's obviously plenty of shows for people like that +Zm_6L06c6dU-00153-00068866-00069367 There's plenty of shows for white old men, Hey, whoa angry, butch +Zm_6L06c6dU-00154-00069485-00070192 Morgan Freeman would like a minute.

We don't need to see ourselves +Zm_6L06c6dU-00165-00075065-00075303 Yeah in the performer in the physical sense +Zm_6L06c6dU-00166-00075304-00075778 We just need to see an element of our cells of the human condition in the character +Zm_6L06c6dU-00167-00075778-00076209 If you're lesbian superhero in spandex doesn't have that don't blame white +Zm_6L06c6dU-00168-00076210-00076714 Men blame your angry Bulldog writers though really blame their fathers who didn't hug them? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00169-00076823-00077490 Do not blame a viewer for not wanting to tune in to the Orvis promotional our thinly veiled +Zm_6L06c6dU-00170-00077531-00078246 As superhero. Okay. And then this is a spoiler. Another thing is they talk about let's get into sort of mental health issue +Zm_6L06c6dU-00171-00078247-00078858 Yeah spoiler. Okay. All right. I can do the comment section. Is that enough time boiler alert? I don't know a spa +Zm_6L06c6dU-00172-00078914-00079587 Earmuffs and go. Okay The Joker goes out of his way to make sure that people know he's not political +Zm_6L06c6dU-00173-00079618-00080062 Okay, he's very open in the film if he Evans. Listen, he explicitly says he doesn't believe in anything +Zm_6L06c6dU-00174-00080095-00080412 Yeah, his struggle is feeling alienated from the world around him +Zm_6L06c6dU-00175-00080413-00080583 He's grappling with with mental illness +Zm_6L06c6dU-00176-00080583-00080608 right +Zm_6L06c6dU-00177-00080608-00080949 Which is something that we should be talking about a little bit more if anything +Zm_6L06c6dU-00178-00080999-00081250 We're talking about sort of themes in the film that the clown +Zm_6L06c6dU-00179-00081275-00081619 protesters in the people become followers sick of fans of Joker +Zm_6L06c6dU-00180-00081629-00082279 they would honestly seem far more like leftist and I understand how some people could make the argument that they're to be perceived as +Zm_6L06c6dU-00181-00082289-00082935 Anarchists, but the fact of the matter is these people wind up protesting and spoiler and supporting the Joker and rioting in the streets +Zm_6L06c6dU-00182-00082936-00083116 They value the collective +Zm_6L06c6dU-00183-00083116-00083587 Yeah over the individual and they live to hate the Wayne family in this film +Zm_6L06c6dU-00184-00083587-00084033 If for no other reason than their wealth, we don't know about about debt. Is it what's the name of that? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00185-00084033-00084603 We win basic bitch white guy name. I always forget that like Bill half the time. I was calling him Bob +Zm_6L06c6dU-00186-00084658-00085062 Brian here's Brian look like a fight. Come on +Zm_6L06c6dU-00187-00085091-00085671 But these people they hate the Wayne family just because of their wealth in the Joker by the way this whole film again +Zm_6L06c6dU-00188-00085672-00085948 if we want to study the film and talk about the underlying subject, which is +Zm_6L06c6dU-00189-00086008-00086490 part of the design of film we could argue that uh portrays nihilism it portrays this sort of decay of +Zm_6L06c6dU-00190-00086501-00086718 Western culture and that we've lost our +Zm_6L06c6dU-00191-00086765-00087072 Moral sort of through line here our sense of judeo-christian morality +Zm_6L06c6dU-00192-00087074-00087475 And so you end up with someone like the Joker who feels alienated and has a god-shaped hole +Zm_6L06c6dU-00193-00087476-00088215 You can make all kinds of arguments. The one that you can't make however is that he was racially motivated and +Zm_6L06c6dU-00194-00088340-00088731 White guy. Yeah, so this whole thing is ultimately about the left's push for censorship +Zm_6L06c6dU-00195-00088732-00089140 There was an article as reading today where they interviewed members of the Academy and there was of course a female member of the Academy +Zm_6L06c6dU-00196-00089140-00089263 Who said I don't want to censor art +Zm_6L06c6dU-00197-00089263-00089452 But we have an important responsibility +Zm_6L06c6dU-00198-00089452-00090180 To but understand that film can influence culture and said I quote this movie shouldn't have been made +Zm_6L06c6dU-00199-00090181-00090283 Oh wow +Zm_6L06c6dU-00200-00090283-00090765 so ultimately we don't want this case if you're going to try and make if you're gonna try to make a case for parallels between +Zm_6L06c6dU-00201-00090766-00090940 the Joker and anyone in real life +Zm_6L06c6dU-00202-00090940-00091524 it would have to be today's progressive less pre clearly the media the entertainment industry complex the culture of censorship take +Zm_6L06c6dU-00203-00091552-00091779 Bear with me here the culture of censorship out there +Zm_6L06c6dU-00204-00091780-00092212 This film shouldn't have been made is designed to force everyone to live in fear +Zm_6L06c6dU-00205-00092233-00092823 Which is exactly what the Joker was looking to accomplish chaos people to be divided from one another fear +Zm_6L06c6dU-00206-00092824-00093377 We the progressive what fear using language fear of repercussions from speaking freely fear of each other +Zm_6L06c6dU-00207-00093377-00094079 They want a breakdown of societal norms. They want to bring to fruition the chaos of class warfare they cut +Zm_6L06c6dU-00208-00094079-00094501 Let me give you another constantly look for a scapegoat instead of taking responsibility when we talk about a mass murder +Zm_6L06c6dU-00209-00094502-00095116 It's was it the guns whether the video games was it the movie instead of taking personal responsibility for the person who committed the crime +Zm_6L06c6dU-00210-00095132-00095422 Many leftists are mentally ill. I can go through the parallels all day +Zm_6L06c6dU-00211-00095423-00095900 Most of all just like the fake narrative aspect of the Joker for people who don't spoiler alert +Zm_6L06c6dU-00212-00095970-00096389 Spoiler alert in the end you sort of find out that maybe the whole thing was a fib +Zm_6L06c6dU-00213-00096402-00096671 Maybe maybe the Joker was making it up that maybe it wasn't true +Zm_6L06c6dU-00214-00096671-00097051 It's just from sort of the insane mind of the Joker Sartre. So I hope I gave you enough time +Zm_6L06c6dU-00215-00097052-00097516 So just like this sort of fake narrative in the film of the Joker this aspect of the film +Zm_6L06c6dU-00216-00097539-00098131 in which you don't know whether you watched an actual origin story or it's just a tall tale told by a demented insane clown with +Zm_6L06c6dU-00217-00098132-00098332 the media similarly +Zm_6L06c6dU-00218-00098367-00098627 We just never know when they're telling the truth +Zm_6L06c6dU-00219-00098748-00098849 You like this video? +Zm_6L06c6dU-00220-00098849-00099460 Click one of these other videos playing in a box up there and hit subscribe or the notification bell if you're already subscribed +Zm_6L06c6dU-00221-00099461-00099956 So you can find out about our new non controversial videos, which don't ruffle any feathers +Zm_6L06c6dU-00222-00099956-00100181 And of course are not a violation of YouTube's algorithms +Zm_6L06c6dU-00223-00100314-00100514 Everyone's welcome here +Zm_6L06c6dU-00224-00100572-00100945 Except I don't know if we are but it's our channel +Zm_6L06c6dU-00225-00101196-00101396 Not sure how that works +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00000-00000404-00001086 One of the things that I'm working on is the social media blog posts in particular. I was +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00001-00001086-00001786 really pleased to see the range and depth of responses from our client base. People +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00002-00001873-00002574 seem very interested in questions about teaching and extending this concept of teaching +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00003-00002800-00003500 beyond the classroom. So we would ask them, "What are your thoughts about student financial +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00004-00003532-00004050 realities," or, "What does student wellness mean to you and your teaching?" And they came +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00005-00004050-00004539 back with some extraordinary responses that indicated that they had thought quite a lot +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00006-00004539-00005239 about the health of their students, the lives that students have outside of their classes, +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00007-00005507-00005933 and often didn't know what to do with that in the classroom. But they were trying certain +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00008-00005933-00006483 things, trying to create supportive environments, trying to recognize that students were struggling +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00009-00006483-00007147 with lots of things besides just their assignments in class. When we put together a number of +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00010-00007147-00007572 these blog posts, we realized people were actually talking to each other. They had a +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00011-00007572-00008272 lot to share with their colleagues about things that they were learning. And I think that +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00012-00008280-00008913 was the most gratifying thing - to see that even though we at UCAT have quite a lot of expertise in teaching +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00013-00008913-00009522 and learning and how it works and what somebody can do in the classroom, our teachers have +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00014-00009522-00009995 quite a lot of experience and knowledge and they're willing to share what they have with +ZmC500VvJ4Q-00015-00009995-00010364 the wider community of teachers at OSU. +-4YA_QKc85E-00000-00000032-00001176 [silence] +-5mlATpLTpE-00000-00000006-00000479 Ready to quit your job and start a business each stage of your life and career transition +-5mlATpLTpE-00001-00000479-00000773 or business building stage requires a different focus +-5mlATpLTpE-00002-00000805-00001292 Stop feeling overwhelmed on where to start and learn to create the right actions for your goals. +-5mlATpLTpE-00003-00001317-00002003 I'm Lydia Lee the Freedom Instigator at Screw the Cubicle and I've created a free quiz to help you discover your next steps. +-5mlATpLTpE-00004-00002017-00002206 It's going to help you identify your +-5mlATpLTpE-00005-00002206-00002420 opportunities what your challenges may be. +-5mlATpLTpE-00006-00002436-00003116 With my advice and how to overcome them of course and the key activities you should be focusing on to feel confident in your decisions. +-5mlATpLTpE-00007-00003150-00003479 Click on the link provide it to take the free five minute quiz now. +-661y4oWGCM-00000-00004320-00004820 Side note: How do you like the camera quality?

Fair enough. +-8XRxAox4no-00008-00000000-00000406 As taking a look at our registrations I saw we had people from +-8XRxAox4no-00009-00000000-00000506 kind of all over the world... so I suspect it's different times for different +-8XRxAox4no-00010-00000000-00000313 attendees.

Her area is +-8XRxAox4no-00041-00004320-00004740 mental health. She will she'll tell you all about her +-8XRxAox4no-00042-00004740-00005127 her credentials in a second. I mentioned already that JD Flynn a member of our +-8XRxAox4no-00043-00005127-00005646 community is the other mental health subject matter expert. And just as a +-8XRxAox4no-00044-00005646-00006195 quick overview, Community Working Group subject matter experts are there to +-8XRxAox4no-00045-00006195-00006591 basically help the community working group when we have issues that we +-8XRxAox4no-00046-00006591-00007110 suspect might involve mental health issues. We do not pretend to be the +-8XRxAox4no-00047-00007110-00007557 source of knowledge of much of anything for that matter, +-8XRxAox4no-00048-00007557-00007974 and we have been building out this team of subject matter experts that +-8XRxAox4no-00049-00007974-00008377 we can tap when necessary. The other side of our +-8XRxAox4no-00050-00008377-00009010 recent expansion is Community Health Team which AmyJune is part of, AmyJune +-8XRxAox4no-00051-00009010-00009724 Hineline. They are tasked with things like this, helping us find more proactive +-8XRxAox4no-00052-00009724-00010483 ways of promoting community health. With that I will stop talking and introduce +-8XRxAox4no-00053-00010483-00011365 Dr Drapkin. Thank you I'm super excited to be here ... I'll tell you a +-8XRxAox4no-00054-00011365-00011815 little bit more about myself, but even just the opportunity to get dressed, you +-8XRxAox4no-00055-00011815-00012223 know, put on some real clothes ..I even put on a little bit of like perfume this +-8XRxAox4no-00056-00012223-00012840 morning for you guys.. . You know we are in such a weird, unusual, +-8XRxAox4no-00057-00012840-00013318 unprecedented situation and so it's really thinking about how do we maintain +-8XRxAox4no-00058-00013318-00013915 our well-being in general and in particular within the context of COVID +-8XRxAox4no-00059-00013915-00014683 19 and being isolated. Most, if not many of us, are isolated in our homes so I'm +-8XRxAox4no-00060-00014683-00015159 calling in from the corner of a room in my house where I spend most of my time, +-8XRxAox4no-00061-00015159-00015829 which is unusual. I do often get out of the house and I have an office in my +-8XRxAox4no-00062-00015829-00016320 town. But let me tell you a little bit about myself just to give you context of +-8XRxAox4no-00063-00016320-00016828 who I am and what what I'm bringing in to the table to be able to help you and +-8XRxAox4no-00064-00016828-00017368 how I might be able to relate. I have my PhD in clinical psychology, I spent +-8XRxAox4no-00065-00017368-00017863 time in traditional academic settings, I was on faculty at University of +-8XRxAox4no-00066-00017863-00018319 Pennsylvania. I'm also a licensed clinical psychologist both in +-8XRxAox4no-00067-00018319-00018913 Pennsylvania and New Jersey and soon New York. So I practice what +-8XRxAox4no-00068-00018913-00019273 I preach. I just don't study it or research it and +-8XRxAox4no-00069-00019273-00019852 I've also spent time in industry as a behavioral scientist both at Johnson & +-8XRxAox4no-00070-00019852-00020410 Johnson and then more recently at health tech startup out of Silicon Valley. +-8XRxAox4no-00071-00020410-00021109 So although I am very new to the Drupal community, I have a good sense of the +-8XRxAox4no-00072-00021109-00021677 tech world and you know how fast-paced it could be and +-8XRxAox4no-00073-00021677-00022172 how challenging it can be and you know and it's why but I have a sense of +-8XRxAox4no-00074-00022172-00022622 potentially what you might be struggling with. But I'm not +-8XRxAox4no-00075-00022622-00023135 going to make any assumptions. I'm also a fellow human and so I often talk about +-8XRxAox4no-00076-00023135-00023774 humans helping humans. Part of why I say that is because we we are all in +-8XRxAox4no-00077-00023774-00024287 this soup together... this is a term we use in my industry to really talk +-8XRxAox4no-00078-00024287-00024788 about you know that we were all in this together. This is such a unique time, +-8XRxAox4no-00079-00024788-00025496 where I'm experiencing very similar stressors that you also are experiencing. +-8XRxAox4no-00080-00025496-00026081 So a lot of my conversations with my patients, so I do run a private practice +-8XRxAox4no-00081-00026081-00026696 in addition to the consulting I do, a lot of those conversations are about like +-8XRxAox4no-00082-00026696-00027410 how this is a struggle. How are you managing to get groceries? +-8XRxAox4no-00083-00027410-00027911 How are you managing to relate to the people in your household? Where are you +-8XRxAox4no-00084-00027911-00028502 getting takeout from? Who has curbside pickup? I live in Metuchen New Jersey +-8XRxAox4no-00085-00028502-00029129 right outside of New York City, so the direct commute, our town in our +-8XRxAox4no-00086-00029129-00029623 area has been hit pretty hard by this. All of this and +-8XRxAox4no-00087-00029623-00030155 this is global ,right ? This is one of those truly unique times where we are +-8XRxAox4no-00088-00030155-00030731 all in the soup together and part of why I'm excited to be here is so we can all +-8XRxAox4no-00089-00030731-00031306 think through this together about really how to support our well-being and really +-8XRxAox4no-00090-00031306-00031781 manage ourselves. And these are tools and strategies that you can use going +-8XRxAox4no-00091-00031781-00032639 forward. I will try and pause as often as possible and JD, please +-8XRxAox4no-00092-00032639-00033011 know keep me honest feel free to interrupt me if there's if there's +-8XRxAox4no-00093-00033011-00033497 something that's coming up... but I'd like this to be as interactive as possible in +-8XRxAox4no-00094-00033497-00033896 our our setting and our format so that this really can help meet your needs and +-8XRxAox4no-00095-00033896-00034328 then you know and the needs of other people who might watch this at recording +-8XRxAox4no-00096-00034328-00034549 time. +-8XRxAox4no-00097-00034732-00035174 I wanted to start just by talking about like what well-being is, and +-8XRxAox4no-00098-00035174-00035774 thinking about the various buckets of well-being. And I found this great +-8XRxAox4no-00099-00035774-00036149 graphic which I thought really kind of hits on the various buckets. Why don't you +-8XRxAox4no-00100-00036149-00036569 just take a look at it for a second and I'll talk through pieces of it. But I +-8XRxAox4no-00101-00036569-00036986 I don't want to lecture at you for too long but just +-8XRxAox4no-00102-00036986-00037550 thinking about "How are you doing?" When I often say "Take +-8XRxAox4no-00103-00037550-00037967 your temperature, right?" Which has a whole different connotation in this +-8XRxAox4no-00104-00037967-00038300 current setting. Literally thinking about when you wake up in the +-8XRxAox4no-00105-00038300-00038693 morning, how are you doing? And thinking across these various buckets of +-8XRxAox4no-00106-00038693-00039272 well-being... Where are you at with your job? Many of us have been +-8XRxAox4no-00107-00039272-00039776 impacted with our work, whether we're impacted currently, or we're worried +-8XRxAox4no-00108-00039776-00040283 about the future. There's a lot of fear and uncertainty... I certainly can relate +-8XRxAox4no-00109-00040283-00040697 to that with my current setting, also my husband. It's just it's one of +-8XRxAox4no-00110-00040697-00041129 those things, where you're just not as stable as it was, your +-8XRxAox4no-00111-00041129-00041696 emotional well-being. I hear a lot about social well-being, How are you +-8XRxAox4no-00112-00041696-00042290 connecting with others? Both inside your household and outside of your household. +-8XRxAox4no-00113-00042290-00043088 It's just being social is so much more complicated these days, intellectually +-8XRxAox4no-00114-00043088-00043544 ..How are you stimulating yourself in your mind and growing. +-8XRxAox4no-00115-00043544-00044039 Then physical, which is something I'll talk about also today, is +-8XRxAox4no-00116-00044039-00044411 really thinking about like how are we taking care of our bodies? It's been +-8XRxAox4no-00117-00044411-00044879 since the beginning of the pandemic, it's been one of my biggest concerns. So not +-8XRxAox4no-00118-00044879-00045344 just health of worrying about maintaining yourself from getting or +-8XRxAox4no-00119-00045344-00045617 contracting the virus, or if you get it how do you take care of yourself? But +-8XRxAox4no-00120-00045617-00046340 even just moving around your home, and really just moving. It would +-8XRxAox4no-00121-00046340-00046688 be really easy for me to sit in this corner for probably 10 hours at a time +-8XRxAox4no-00122-00046688-00047228 and I just don't do it because I know that not being physically active is +-8XRxAox4no-00123-00047228-00047522 going to really impact my emotional well-being and it's just going to be a +-8XRxAox4no-00124-00047522-00048053 ripple effect. Think about these well-being buckets as we go through +-8XRxAox4no-00125-00048053-00048443 some of our content today. And thinking about where are you doing +-8XRxAox4no-00126-00048443-00048941 really well? And where might be they have some opportunity to really take an +-8XRxAox4no-00127-00048941-00049937 assessment and think about how do I really lean into that? So here's our plan +-8XRxAox4no-00128-00049937-00050369 for today. I'm going to take you on a tour of what I'm sort of calling a +-8XRxAox4no-00129-00050369-00050888 coping skills buffet. I might have been a little over ambitious but what I really +-8XRxAox4no-00130-00050888-00051302 wanted you to be able to walk away from today with is a couple of coping skills +-8XRxAox4no-00131-00051302-00051722 that feel like a good fit for you. So we're going through a buffet, so it's +-8XRxAox4no-00132-00051722-00052208 like you're walking down which you know if you can imagine back to the time used +-8XRxAox4no-00133-00052208-00052784 to walk down a buffet and you're kind of picking in different pieces and maybe +-8XRxAox4no-00134-00052784-00053123 taking one spoon of this, one spoon of that. And then you're going to sit back +-8XRxAox4no-00135-00053123-00053540 and think about well what do I want more of? And part of what I'm going to try and +-8XRxAox4no-00136-00053540-00053807 do today is give you a little bit a taste of all these different coping +-8XRxAox4no-00137-00053807-00054194 skills and then give you the resources to be able to go back for second +-8XRxAox4no-00138-00054194-00054674 helpings and a full meal if that's what you really want because there's lots of +-8XRxAox4no-00139-00054674-00055022 opportunities to do that. This really is going to take us on a +-8XRxAox4no-00140-00055022-00055631 broad-brush tour of various coping skills and strategies. And I'll say this +-8XRxAox4no-00141-00055631-00056102 probably multiple times that I am definitely open to you reaching out +-8XRxAox4no-00142-00056102-00056443 afterwards if you want additional resources. I have some in the deck but +-8XRxAox4no-00143-00056443-00056942 but if there's anything you need help us please let me know and I'll connect +-8XRxAox4no-00144-00056942-00057626 you with the appropriate resources: books, websites, all that great stuff. +-8XRxAox4no-00145-00057626-00057941 JD, before I do this I just want to check to see if there's +-8XRxAox4no-00146-00057941-00058735 anything that I'm missing in our Q&A or chat box. No questions right now. +-8XRxAox4no-00147-00058735-00059585 Fantastic, so if everyone is willing I'm going to ask you as someone who's been +-8XRxAox4no-00148-00059585-00060083 on many webinars, I often find myself navigating I may have the webinar at a +-8XRxAox4no-00149-00060083-00060644 tab, and I'm navigating over to something else. or maybe I'm on my phone. And oh my +-8XRxAox4no-00150-00060644-00061265 gosh, I am certainly not one minded, right? Definitely not present for the content... +-8XRxAox4no-00151-00061265-00061721 And if you're willing I'm going to ask you to really turn your phone upside +-8XRxAox4no-00152-00061721-00062141 down. You don't even have to navigate away from whatever tab you're on, because I'm gonna +-8XRxAox4no-00153-00062141-00062516 ask you to close your eyes in a second, and if you're willing, and join me and a +-8XRxAox4no-00154-00062516-00063029 little bit of a mindfulness, visualization exercise, that I think will +-8XRxAox4no-00155-00063029-00063623 really help set us up for a really effective webinar here to really start +-8XRxAox4no-00156-00063623-00063944 to kind of think about the framework that we'll talk about. So I like to +-8XRxAox4no-00157-00063944-00064451 give you kind of a little bit of an experiential exercise to engage us and +-8XRxAox4no-00158-00064451-00064880 it means being present and one minded. I promise it's only about three to +-8XRxAox4no-00159-00064880-00065495 five minutes and that there's probably not a life-or-death situation that's +-8XRxAox4no-00160-00065495-00065783 going to happen during that time.. probably. I can't make any guarantees but +-8XRxAox4no-00161-00065783-00066140 so if you're willing I'm going to ask you to go ahead and get yourself seated +-8XRxAox4no-00162-00066140-00066701 in a comfortable position, you may be calling in from bed, so go ahead get +-8XRxAox4no-00163-00066701-00067319 relaxed in bed, wherever you are, just go ahead and make sure you're in a +-8XRxAox4no-00164-00067319-00067646 comfortable position that you feel like you can stay in for a few minutes, and if +-8XRxAox4no-00165-00067646-00068282 you're open to it go ahead and drop your eyes close. We're going to start by +-8XRxAox4no-00166-00068282-00068924 just taking a few deep breaths, really breathing in through your nose, and out +-8XRxAox4no-00167-00068924-00069641 through your mouth, and just breathe for a moment. Just really noticing the rise +-8XRxAox4no-00168-00069641-00070496 and fall of your breath. And as you breathe I'm going to ask you to start +-8XRxAox4no-00169-00070496-00071378 visualizing yourself beside a gently flowing stream. Notice in the stream +-8XRxAox4no-00170-00071378-00071915 and this could be one that you've been to, one that you could really bring up in +-8XRxAox4no-00171-00071915-00072476 your mind's eye, and notice that there are some leaves that are floating along +-8XRxAox4no-00172-00072476-00073793 the surface of the water. For the next few moments I'm going to ask you to take +-8XRxAox4no-00173-00073793-00074557 each thought, each feeling, each sensation that enters your mind +-8XRxAox4no-00174-00074557-00075424 and place it on a leaf and let it float by. Do this with each thought, each +-8XRxAox4no-00175-00075424-00076378 feeling, each sensation, whether pleasurable, painful, or neutral... even if +-8XRxAox4no-00176-00076378-00076942 you have joyous or enthusiastic thoughts or feelings, place each of them on a leaf +-8XRxAox4no-00177-00076942-00078076 and let it float by. If your thoughts momentarily stop, continue to watch the +-8XRxAox4no-00178-00078076-00078660 stream. Sooner or later your thoughts will start up again. +-8XRxAox4no-00179-00079476-00080094 Allow the stream to flow at its own pace, don't try and speed it up or rush your thoughts or +-8XRxAox4no-00180-00080094-00080708 feelings or sensations along. You're not trying to get rid of leaves by +-8XRxAox4no-00181-00080708-00081144 rushing them along. You're not trying to get rid of your thoughts or your +-8XRxAox4no-00182-00081144-00081687 feelings or your sensations you're allowing them to come and to go at their +-8XRxAox4no-00183-00081687-00082769 own pace. If your mind says this is dumb, I'm bored, or I'm not doing this right, +-8XRxAox4no-00184-00082769-00084225 place those thoughts or feelings on leaves too, and let them pass. If a leaf +-8XRxAox4no-00185-00084225-00084879 gets stuck, allow it to hang around until it's ready to float by. If a thought +-8XRxAox4no-00186-00084879-00085439 comes up again, watch it float up by another time. +-8XRxAox4no-00187-00086500-00087004 If a difficult or painful feeling arises, simply acknowledge it. Say to yourself I +-8XRxAox4no-00188-00087004-00087627 noticed myself having a feeling of boredom, impatience, frustration, worry, +-8XRxAox4no-00189-00087627-00088425 fear, place those thoughts or feelings on leaves and allow them to float along. +-8XRxAox4no-00190-00088830-00089380 From time to time your thoughts or feelings or sensations may hook you and +-8XRxAox4no-00191-00089380-00090085 distract you from being fully present in this exercise or in any exercise or any +-8XRxAox4no-00192-00090085-00090628 of our daily goings-on, that's completely normal. As soon as you realize that +-8XRxAox4no-00193-00090628-00092254 you've become sidetracked, gently bring your attention back to the exercise. Then +-8XRxAox4no-00194-00092254-00092761 ask you again I take a couple deep breathes, breathe in through your nose, out +-8XRxAox4no-00195-00092761-00093423 through your mouth. Just notice your body. Notice where you're seated. +-8XRxAox4no-00196-00093423-00094384 Feeling yourself connected to the ground. Feeling whatever is supporting your body. In +-8XRxAox4no-00197-00094384-00094920 the next few seconds I'm gonna ask you to open your eyes and rejoin our webinar. +-8XRxAox4no-00198-00094920-00096204 We'll continue with the rest of our content. I'm wondering if in the chat box +-8XRxAox4no-00199-00096204-00096679 if you can just note what that was like for you, I don't know how many of you are +-8XRxAox4no-00200-00096679-00097327 meditators, or often do some kind of mindfulness exercise. This is really +-8XRxAox4no-00201-00097327-00097603 different, this is kind of what we call and some of you may have done that +-8XRxAox4no-00202-00097603-00098134 before so I'm just wondering what your experience was like? What you noticed?.. if +-8XRxAox4no-00203-00098134-00098412 you're willing to share. +-8XRxAox4no-00204-00099736-00100066 While we're doing this just take a moment and think about how you might +-8XRxAox4no-00205-00100066-00100501 apply something like this to, right? To really think about how can I bring this +-8XRxAox4no-00206-00100501-00101140 to life? In my day? When can I do something like this? What did I notice +-8XRxAox4no-00207-00101140-00101584 about my thoughts our feelings? What did I notice about my ability to observe +-8XRxAox4no-00208-00101584-00102343 those? and just really the space for how this might come to life and then we'll +-8XRxAox4no-00209-00102343-00102889 talk more about the functionality of it, so this is a piece. JD I don't know if +-8XRxAox4no-00210-00102889-00103654 you're seeing anything in the chat box that you want to....We've got a couple +-8XRxAox4no-00211-00103654-00104823 messages, one that it was quite a relief I guess is the word - try it again. +-8XRxAox4no-00212-00104823-00105310 One attendee, we often do that at school right before we start a class or test, +-8XRxAox4no-00213-00105310-00105898 and it really feels good to de-stress. And another one just sent in I found the +-8XRxAox4no-00214-00105898-00106276 visualization was great for my focus, one feeling at a time, allowing me to let +-8XRxAox4no-00215-00106276-00106420 them go. Awesome, thank you . +-8XRxAox4no-00216-00106420-00107068 Keep thinking about +-8XRxAox4no-00217-00107068-00107599 that as we as we go through. Part of why I bring this up is ... +-8XRxAox4no-00218-00107599-00108310 We often, our brains are so like fantastic right? They are, +-8XRxAox4no-00219-00108310-00108723 when you think about computers and everything we do now with AI or +-8XRxAox4no-00220-00108723-00109219 machine learning, right? That it's really when we think about how hard that is to +-8XRxAox4no-00221-00109219-00109924 get computers to think as quickly as we do, our minds ,tons come to our minds, and +-8XRxAox4no-00222-00109924-00110503 this is just a great reminder to yourself, don't believe everything you +-8XRxAox4no-00223-00110503-00111019 think. A mantra I often use with my patience is, just because you think it +-8XRxAox4no-00224-00111019-00111562 doesn't make it true. It's one of those things of when we get stressed, +-8XRxAox4no-00225-00111562-00112090 and we have anxiety, our mind is often hanging out in the future, worried about +-8XRxAox4no-00226-00112090-00112534 something that's coming up that we probably can't control, and we'll talk +-8XRxAox4no-00227-00112534-00112930 about that in a second, or it hangs out in the past of things that have happened +-8XRxAox4no-00228-00112930-00113333 to us. An exercise like this helps us look at our thoughts, +-8XRxAox4no-00229-00113333-00113750 and our feelings, and our sensations, you know being able to almost like hold them +-8XRxAox4no-00230-00113750-00114128 in our hands as opposed to having them in front of our face like this... Where we +-8XRxAox4no-00231-00114128-00114818 really can't see from our thoughts. So it's putting them down, and just +-8XRxAox4no-00232-00114818-00115643 letting them be. And it's such a simple exercise to really just let them be. If +-8XRxAox4no-00233-00115643-00116105 you if you like this exercise, by the way, you can just google "leaves on a stream" +-8XRxAox4no-00234-00116105-00116660 and you'll find tons of YouTube where someone will essentially read you what I +-8XRxAox4no-00235-00116660-00117317 just read you. Or there's also an activity you can do, +-8XRxAox4no-00236-00117317-00117671 Thoughts on a cloud, thoughts or feelings on a cloud. Where it's just the idea is +-8XRxAox4no-00237-00117671-00118097 just to take your thoughts and make them separate from yourself, we call this +-8XRxAox4no-00238-00118097-00118514 cognitive diffusion. Because often we're very fused with our thoughts, so just +-8XRxAox4no-00239-00118514-00119405 remembering that don't believe everything you think. We're going to +-8XRxAox4no-00240-00119405-00119894 talk more about the power of present moment awareness. I love whoever put +-8XRxAox4no-00241-00119894-00120425 in the chat box that you're that before you take a test, even if you +-8XRxAox4no-00242-00120425-00120905 have a teacher or professor who's leading you through this, it's fantastic. +-8XRxAox4no-00243-00120905-00121427 I think that more and more we're seeing more mindfulness and meditation +-8XRxAox4no-00244-00121427-00121886 make its way into education, which i think is fantastic, because that's a +-8XRxAox4no-00245-00121886-00122192 great way to learn it. And we're also seeing it tons in corporate America, +-8XRxAox4no-00246-00122192-00122585 right? When I was at Johnson & Johnson there was a meditation +-8XRxAox4no-00247-00122585-00123077 room that you could sign out, and there are groups doing meditation. I do think +-8XRxAox4no-00248-00123077-00123431 there's something different about the leaves on a stream and some of it is, and +-8XRxAox4no-00249-00123431-00123842 the idea of the looking at your thoughts and looking at your feelings and your +-8XRxAox4no-00250-00123842-00124357 sensations as separate from you... as opposed to just focusing on the breath. +-8XRxAox4no-00251-00124357-00124838 One thing I want to make sure we talk about right is, that if you do +-8XRxAox4no-00252-00124838-00125279 meditation mindfulness I think that's great, and it it's not the function is a +-8XRxAox4no-00253-00125279-00125576 little bit differently from and what we're going to be talking about . +-8XRxAox4no-00254-00125576-00126116 It's not just the breathing and some people think about as relaxation, it has +-8XRxAox4no-00255-00126116-00126469 that function for sure. I think about is like a nice little +-8XRxAox4no-00256-00126469-00127144 effect, really the power present moment is in this intentional awareness, really +-8XRxAox4no-00257-00127144-00127687 being aware in the moment, and seeing what's going on and noticing when our +-8XRxAox4no-00258-00127687-00128239 attention is pulled away from us and when it's back. As it means a way of +-8XRxAox4no-00259-00128239-00128697 example, even when I was doing that ,is very present and focused with you all, +-8XRxAox4no-00260-00128697-00129421 and I could hear the Home Office is across the street ... I wish it was +-8XRxAox4no-00261-00129421-00129784 across the street... it's across the hall, and I can hear my husband's on a +-8XRxAox4no-00262-00129784-00130156 conference call and I noticed I thought, "oh man I wish he would have +-8XRxAox4no-00263-00130156-00130509 closed the door", I could hear my eight-year-old running up and down +-8XRxAox4no-00264-00130509-00131008 because this is the life we're in, right? Where there's lots of things at home +-8XRxAox4no-00265-00131008-00131422 that are pulling for our attention. I just noticed that, I even noticed +-8XRxAox4no-00266-00131422-00131800 the feeling I was having, and then bringing myself back into the moment to +-8XRxAox4no-00267-00131800-00132502 be here present with you all. I'm going to share with you this is kind of when I +-8XRxAox4no-00268-00132502-00132979 was putting together his presentation, this is kind of like my my best of, my +-8XRxAox4no-00269-00132979-00133447 favorites, if I were going to make sort of a a playlist... this is +-8XRxAox4no-00270-00133447-00133951 the coping skills, my top favorite playlist. I don't know how many of +-8XRxAox4no-00271-00133951-00134434 you follow the Awkward Yeti I love this cartoonist ,I think he does such a great +-8XRxAox4no-00272-00134434-00135091 job. And I particularly love his cartoons where he pivots the brain against +-8XRxAox4no-00273-00135091-00135481 the heart... And so our brain says you know I don't know what the future holds. I +-8XRxAox4no-00274-00135481-00135954 don't know how many of you are having that thought on a regular basis. I +-8XRxAox4no-00275-00135954-00136651 certainly find myself all the time thinking about the future, wondering +-8XRxAox4no-00276-00136651-00137044 about the future, worrying about the future. What's the summer going to look +-8XRxAox4no-00277-00137044-00137551 like, what's the fall going to look like . Are kids going back to school in person? Are +-8XRxAox4no-00278-00137551-00138007 colleges going to reopen? When is life going to go back to normal? +-8XRxAox4no-00279-00138007-00138592 You can just feel yourself tense when you know you might even feel it in +-8XRxAox4no-00280-00138592-00138898 your chest, and here so heart says you know what just hold one moment at a time +-8XRxAox4no-00281-00138898-00139453 with me. and so it's you know a lot of times it's just be here now. +-8XRxAox4no-00282-00139453-00140112 You know sit and know you're sitting. Just be present and stay in the moment. +-8XRxAox4no-00283-00140112-00140869 The reality is in most times the moment that we're in is not so terrible. The +-8XRxAox4no-00284-00140869-00141310 moment I'm sitting in, if I close my eyes, and I could hear birds chirping, the +-8XRxAox4no-00285-00141310-00142000 windows open. I get to be here with you guys on a Friday. There's a +-8XRxAox4no-00286-00142000-00142432 there's a long weekend coming up and so it's just I'm being here in this moment, +-8XRxAox4no-00287-00142432-00143482 right? Just right here, right now, so just hold this moment. Just si, know you're +-8XRxAox4no-00288-00143482-00144334 sittin, and just be here now. This is another cartoon I've seen on the +-8XRxAox4no-00289-00144334-00144823 internet for years, and I love it because it really brings to life the +-8XRxAox4no-00290-00144823-00145441 ideas: Is your mind full, are you actually being mindful and really +-8XRxAox4no-00291-00145441-00146008 being present and enjoying the moment. so just like I heard the birds chirping +-8XRxAox4no-00292-00146008-00146422 right and just but then bringing myself back to where I want my attention to be +-8XRxAox4no-00293-00146422-00147295 right now. Again thinking about how you might apply this in your life? How +-8XRxAox4no-00294-00147295-00147814 you might bring this to life? How you can be really present and aware and really +-8XRxAox4no-00295-00147814-00148648 leveraging the power of present moment awareness. We're bringing this here +-8XRxAox4no-00296-00148648-00148861 today because it really does help our well being, +-8XRxAox4no-00297-00148861-00149245 our emotional well-being, sometimes even our social well-being. +-8XRxAox4no-00298-00149245-00149626 We'll talk a little bit about communication today just, we'll touch on +-8XRxAox4no-00299-00149626-00150034 it. But even being present when you're talking with someone, present on a +-8XRxAox4no-00300-00150034-00150529 webinar, when you're talking with your significant other, I find +-8XRxAox4no-00301-00150529-00150868 myself I'm guilty of it when I'm sitting with my daughter. She'll +-8XRxAox4no-00302-00150868-00151351 have to say "hey, hey mama like yeah I'm talking to you" and I was +-8XRxAox4no-00303-00151351-00151855 talking on my phone or I let my mind or attention drift or I was trying +-8XRxAox4no-00304-00151855-00152410 too do too many things at the same time. I actually wasn't present and I'm +-8XRxAox4no-00305-00152410-00152937 a huge dog person ...so I love this little cartoon. +-8XRxAox4no-00306-00153156-00153526 JD, I'm just gonna stop and see if there's anything we need to attend to in +-8XRxAox4no-00307-00153526-00153897 the chat or QA before I move forward. +-8XRxAox4no-00308-00154101-00154603 There are no new questions. Alright, fantastic, thank you. Feel free to +-8XRxAox4no-00309-00154603-00155212 interrupt me but I'll also stop just to make sure I don't get on some train. +-8XRxAox4no-00310-00155212-00155665 What I wanted to acknowledge and validate here is that what we're +-8XRxAox4no-00311-00155665-00156277 experiencing is actually quite different. My training is in cognitive +-8XRxAox4no-00312-00156277-00156850 behavioral therapy and so what you'll always get for me is the +-8XRxAox4no-00313-00156850-00157339 most evidence-based research, research supported practices and for sure if you +-8XRxAox4no-00314-00157339-00157687 have any anxiety or stress one of the things we often tell you to do is +-8XRxAox4no-00315-00157687-00158227 exposure therapy. So I love this cartoon, "Why did the chicken +-8XRxAox4no-00316-00158227-00158610 cross the road? My therapist says I should do more things that scare me." +-8XRxAox4no-00317-00158610-00159250 Which is true. If I were working with you before COVID 19 and you were afraid +-8XRxAox4no-00318-00159250-00159772 of something, you and I would work together to approach that anxiety and +-8XRxAox4no-00319-00159772-00160344 that fear that we could eventually train your brain that anxiety and stress is +-8XRxAox4no-00320-00160344-00161038 uncomfortable and it's not dangerous.Right before COVID-19 I +-8XRxAox4no-00321-00161038-00161530 was working with one of my patients on driving phobia, she was afraid to drive. +-8XRxAox4no-00322-00161530-00161935 So we developed a hierarchy, we did more things that scared her, she had +-8XRxAox4no-00323-00161935-00162565 homework and eventually she's driving. In fact you know now now that we're still +-8XRxAox4no-00324-00162565-00163003 working together on you know maintaining her well-being and dealing with with +-8XRxAox4no-00325-00163003-00163639 COVID 19 related stress and interesting situations, she's still driving to keep +-8XRxAox4no-00326-00163639-00164143 up, to do those things that scare her, to make sure she doesn't revert to +-8XRxAox4no-00327-00164143-00164569 being afraid. But this is so different because I'm not going to sit here and +-8XRxAox4no-00328-00164569-00165133 tell you oh you're afraid of getting COVID-19... sure go let someone who has it +-8XRxAox4no-00329-00165133-00165538 and is positive cough in your face, absolutely you're afraid to go face your +-8XRxAox4no-00330-00165538-00166075 fears that that's ridiculous because there is legitimate fear here. There's a +-8XRxAox4no-00331-00166075-00166397 there is a legitimate risk and a safety concern. +-8XRxAox4no-00332-00166397-00166939 So we handle stress and anxiety very different in this current setting then +-8XRxAox4no-00333-00166939-00167606 we would in other ones. This is a piece of thinking about like before COVID +-8XRxAox4no-00334-00167606-00167957 19, there were all these things that you might worry about and then +-8XRxAox4no-00335-00167957-00168230 there was a subset of things that actually could happen, because our mind +-8XRxAox4no-00336-00168230-00168719 loves to like worry about tons of stuff that's actually not not even possible or +-8XRxAox4no-00337-00168719-00169181 likely, and then there was a tiny little thing you know of actually things that +-8XRxAox4no-00338-00169181-00169595 do happen is we waste a lot of our energy and time worrying. The thing +-8XRxAox4no-00339-00169595-00169976 that's challenging now is that that yellow dot of things that do happen has +-8XRxAox4no-00340-00169976-00170339 actually expanded quite a bit. There's a lot of uncertainty though +-8XRxAox4no-00341-00170339-00170684 right between the things that can happen and the things that do happen and +-8XRxAox4no-00342-00170684-00171164 there's a lot of confusion. And so this is this is different and so that's +-8XRxAox4no-00343-00171164-00171707 why I just want you to take a moment to be gentle with yourself, gentle with +-8XRxAox4no-00344-00171707-00172223 others. That this is completely uncharted territory, I mean I get we're in week +-8XRxAox4no-00345-00172223-00172739 ten least where I sit...I realize this +-8XRxAox4no-00346-00172739-00173261 is a global community and we're all kind of at different pieces of our experience +-8XRxAox4no-00347-00173261-00173897 with COVID 19. We're but we're still testing and learning, this is uncharted +-8XRxAox4no-00348-00173897-00174458 territory. Where we're all stuck at home and we're doing things that just feel +-8XRxAox4no-00349-00174458-00174986 very unnatural. I went for a run this morning. It +-8XRxAox4no-00350-00174986-00175619 feels very unnatural to me to run past someone and to avoid them, to +-8XRxAox4no-00351-00175619-00176189 literally get off the path so that I don't... I'm a +-8XRxAox4no-00352-00176189-00176722 super hyper social person, I'm one of those extroverted people who are +-8XRxAox4no-00353-00176722-00177122 used to being around people all the time. I'm the kind of person who +-8XRxAox4no-00354-00177122-00177512 would run usually I'd be like "hey good morning, high five ... look at +-8XRxAox4no-00355-00177512-00177758 us out here doing this". I +-8XRxAox4no-00356-00177758-00177908 actually like I had that thought this +-8XRxAox4no-00357-00177908-00178262 morning.. I can't I can't even like be within 10 feet of someone, +-8XRxAox4no-00358-00178262-00178700 let alone high-five them. That lack of communication or social +-8XRxAox4no-00359-00178700-00179267 connection is really tough. This is one of the things I'm going to +-8XRxAox4no-00360-00179267-00179684 start to encourage you to do, and using your mindful awareness. Again +-8XRxAox4no-00361-00179684-00179982 leveraging that that moment awareness, thinking about +-8XRxAox4no-00362-00179982-00180534 where your mind is at, really focusing on things that you can influence and ones +-8XRxAox4no-00363-00180534-00181191 that are in your control. To give you a sense within the COVID 19 context, +-8XRxAox4no-00364-00181191-00181749 if you think about ...so this is another you know piece of art that came +-8XRxAox4no-00365-00181749-00182241 up in the COVID 19 setting... If you look on the outside things that you +-8XRxAox4no-00366-00182241-00182625 can't control, the things that you can let go and kind of move down the stream, +-8XRxAox4no-00367-00182625-00183075 and they may come at you... We can't stop them from +-8XRxAox4no-00368-00183075-00183639 coming, these thoughts or these urges. But I can't control how much toilet paper is +-8XRxAox4no-00369-00183639-00184284 at the store. I can't control whether or not I can get bread flour. +-8XRxAox4no-00370-00184284-00184803 I can't control how long this is going to last, I really can't. All I can control is +-8XRxAox4no-00371-00184803-00185589 my own attitude. I can manage my own social distancing. I can control how I +-8XRxAox4no-00372-00185589-00186027 live into my values which we'll talk about in a second. Thinking +-8XRxAox4no-00373-00186027-00186426 back to those buckets of well-being, I can control where I'm +-8XRxAox4no-00374-00186426-00186867 focusing my attention and how much attention I'm giving to each bucket to +-8XRxAox4no-00375-00186867-00187494 keep them full. I can control to a certain degree how much fun things we +-8XRxAox4no-00376-00187494-00187935 get to do at home... and you know with a child at home I'm +-8XRxAox4no-00377-00187935-00188526 always working hard and that domain, just trying to keep her busy. But I can't +-8XRxAox4no-00378-00188526-00188997 control how much other people's social distance. I can't control what other +-8XRxAox4no-00379-00188997-00189522 people are doing or their motives. I can only control what I'm doing and it's +-8XRxAox4no-00380-00189522-00189977 really using that mindful awareness to think about where where is my mind? +-8XRxAox4no-00381-00189977-00190527 and I am i ruminating or worrying about what other people are doing? I can +-8XRxAox4no-00382-00190527-00191090 only control myself. Living in New Jersey we're entering a holiday weekend, +-8XRxAox4no-00383-00191090-00191538 and so it's you know thinking about, "Are people are getting going to go down +-8XRxAox4no-00384-00191538-00191973 to the Jersey Shore and the beaches and what are they going to do?" I can let +-8XRxAox4no-00385-00191973-00192324 my mind go there and I can get frustrated and agitated and there's +-8XRxAox4no-00386-00192324-00192720 really nothing I can control about that. All I can control is what I choose to do. +-8XRxAox4no-00387-00192720-00193167 Again be thinking about how this can apply to +-8XRxAox4no-00388-00193167-00193911 you. How this might relate to some of what you have going on in your own world? +-8XRxAox4no-00389-00193911-00195285 Where you are exerting your energy and efforts? And really thinking about is it worth it? and putting you know focusing on is it worth it is it consistent with +-8XRxAox4no-00390-00195285-00195774 my values is going to get me to my end goal and then leveraging yourself and +-8XRxAox4no-00391-00195774-00196173 moving yourself back to what you can control what matters, moving in +-8XRxAox4no-00392-00196173-00196772 directions that are important to you. Just really thinking about that. +-8XRxAox4no-00393-00196772-00197292 There is a note about limiting your social media or turning off the news. +-8XRxAox4no-00394-00197292-00197877 I do think about you know really protecting yourself against social +-8XRxAox4no-00395-00197877-00198297 toxins. We're really good about protecting ourselves, we wear our +-8XRxAox4no-00396-00198297-00198786 masks, I always have hand sanitizer with me. I'm very careful about social +-8XRxAox4no-00397-00198786-00199677 distancing and it's it's equally important to be careful about the social +-8XRxAox4no-00398-00199677-00200139 toxins, the anxiety, the things that I might come into contact with on social +-8XRxAox4no-00399-00200139-00200760 media or on the news. And so I frankly don't watch a ton of news. I try and keep +-8XRxAox4no-00400-00200760-00201222 up on the most important pieces of data and I try and listen to scientists +-8XRxAox4no-00401-00201222-00201762 who I think are actually valid and reliable. So that I am understanding +-8XRxAox4no-00402-00201762-00202455 exactly what's going on and not some spin that's been put on it. dD. Drapkin +-8XRxAox4no-00403-00202455-00203043 we have one question if right now's a good time. Yeah absolutely. The +-8XRxAox4no-00404-00203043-00203331 question is how do you know if you're making progress with respect to +-8XRxAox4no-00405-00203331-00203778 something that scares you? Might be doing something more of something that scares +-8XRxAox4no-00406-00203778-00204372 me and still feeling scared, but how do I know I'm on the right path? +-8XRxAox4no-00407-00204372-00204906 That's a great question and it's there's not an easy answer but let me let me +-8XRxAox4no-00408-00204906-00205545 give you or let me answer that the best way my head will let me right now. Which +-8XRxAox4no-00409-00205545-00206085 is my short answer is to measure it. Kind of like +-8XRxAox4no-00410-00206085-00206527 track it. If I'm doing something that scares me, for example, let +-8XRxAox4no-00411-00206527-00207087 give you the paradigm with the driving. We create something called a +-8XRxAox4no-00412-00207087-00207502 subjective units of the stress scale ...it is really similar to saying from 0 to +-8XRxAox4no-00413-00207502-00207904 100. Where is my stress at? For me in particular? +-8XRxAox4no-00414-00207904-00208297 So when I'm driving with my patient I'm always asking her, "okay, where's your +-8XRxAox4no-00415-00208297-00208879 subs at?" And we're kind of tracking that it's going down. The interesting +-8XRxAox4no-00416-00208879-00209331 thing is people often predict that a situation is going to be more +-8XRxAox4no-00417-00209331-00210004 anxiety-producing than it is. And that's part of why we +-8XRxAox4no-00418-00210004-00210340 encourage you to face your fears.. because so even any if we use an example +-8XRxAox4no-00419-00210340-00210841 of the current context, I think about sometimes going to the +-8XRxAox4no-00420-00210841-00211297 grocery store is pretty stressful. It's stressful on a +-8XRxAox4no-00421-00211297-00211711 couple different levels ... like the first couple times I went, I don't even know +-8XRxAox4no-00422-00211711-00212152 like what I'm doing. I'm not sure, I think the first first time I went, +-8XRxAox4no-00423-00212152-00212782 people weren't even wearing masks yet. We were quarantining but we weren't +-8XRxAox4no-00424-00212782-00213085 wearing masks yet. The second time I went I thought I was like I'm not +-8XRxAox4no-00425-00213085-00213373 sure I'm wearing the mask right. There was all this social anxiety almost +-8XRxAox4no-00426-00213373-00213880 about how do I behave in the grocery store? But each time I go it's not nearly +-8XRxAox4no-00427-00213880-00214417 as bad, and it wasn't even as bad after I got there I was like oh you know it's +-8XRxAox4no-00428-00214417-00214972 actually just makes sense they make it they make it makes sense for you... and so +-8XRxAox4no-00429-00214972-00215281 every time you go you're kind of like just you know again it's like I think +-8XRxAox4no-00430-00215281-00215671 about like taking your heart rate or taking your temperature it's the same +-8XRxAox4no-00431-00215671-00216301 idea of just assessing yourself. We used to think that you needed to see a +-8XRxAox4no-00432-00216301-00216979 decrease in that anxiety to really believe that it's working, but our latest +-8XRxAox4no-00433-00216979-00217342 research really thinks that it's really what you're learning. +-8XRxAox4no-00434-00217342-00217939 After every one of those instances of approaching the fear thing, it's what did +-8XRxAox4no-00435-00217939-00218530 I learn about that while I was doing it? Or what was my experience like? +-8XRxAox4no-00436-00218530-00219145 Maybe I was worried about it going in and then it wasn't so bad, or what did I +-8XRxAox4no-00437-00219145-00219661 learn about how I could cope with it and manage it effectively. Obviously +-8XRxAox4no-00438-00219661-00219862 it's a little bit more complicated than that but I +-8XRxAox4no-00439-00219862-00220306 those are the two pieces of really just taking your own temperature, +-8XRxAox4no-00440-00220306-00220681 checking in with yourself before, during, after you're doing something that's +-8XRxAox4no-00441-00220681-00221221 fearful or afraid or brings any kind of anxiety and then ,also at the end of it +-8XRxAox4no-00442-00221221-00221695 what what did you take away? What did you learn about that experience? +-8XRxAox4no-00443-00221695-00222115 It's no different than almost any time I give one of these workshops I'm +-8XRxAox4no-00444-00222115-00222583 doing almost exactly that... I'm thinking about you know how did I do +-8XRxAox4no-00445-00222583-00222916 during it I might even watch the video to kind of like think about what I can +-8XRxAox4no-00446-00222916-00223567 improve and then next time hopefully I'll be more on point, be able +-8XRxAox4no-00447-00223567-00224113 to come to it with a different lens and and continue to improve. It's the +-8XRxAox4no-00448-00224113-00224524 same idea with fear and anxiety, it's really approaching, learning, and then +-8XRxAox4no-00449-00224524-00225688 applying that going forward. Hopefully that was helpful. I just wanted to +-8XRxAox4no-00450-00225688-00226117 take a moment to sort of acknowledge that we often have this illusion of +-8XRxAox4no-00451-00226117-00226663 control. If I say to you don't think of a pink elephant. Don't think of COVID +-8XRxAox4no-00452-00226663-00227200 19. Don't think of the the pink elephant riding COVID 19, any of those +-8XRxAox4no-00453-00227200-00227782 things.... the minute I say that, you have this amazing ability in your brain with the +-8XRxAox4no-00454-00227782-00228316 language, that now you are thinking of a pink elephant. Even if it wasn't on the +-8XRxAox4no-00455-00228316-00228682 screen, you would have had one in your mind and I'm not even sure what a pink +-8XRxAox4no-00456-00228682-00229222 elephant looks like riding COVID 19 but I'm I sort of just pictured it in +-8XRxAox4no-00457-00229222-00229726 my head on top of like the words COVID 19. You might have pictured it on top of the +-8XRxAox4no-00458-00229726-00230248 virus, it's amazing what our minds can do. But if we say stop it, don't think about +-8XRxAox4no-00459-00230248-00230755 that. it actually forces us to think about it more strongly. There's +-8XRxAox4no-00460-00230755-00231181 this illusion of control that we can stop thinking and we could force these +-8XRxAox4no-00461-00231181-00231616 things not to come into our frame of reference, you can't. That's what +-8XRxAox4no-00462-00231616-00231979 I love about the leaves on a stream is that thoughts, feelings, and sensations +-8XRxAox4no-00463-00231979-00232519 can exist and move, and we don't push them away... the minute we try and push +-8XRxAox4no-00464-00232519-00232903 them away they actually come forward even stronger. +-8XRxAox4no-00465-00232903-00233218 Think about a beach ball, that you might push below +-8XRxAox4no-00466-00233218-00233842 the water ...you push it below, you push it below, the minute you let it go +-8XRxAox4no-00467-00233842-00234307 or let go of that control, it pops up in your face. That is the illusion +-8XRxAox4no-00468-00234307-00234712 of control. So just be gentle with yourself that we really can't stop +-8XRxAox4no-00469-00234712-00235219 ourselves from thinking or having feelings, we can't stop these from coming. +-8XRxAox4no-00470-00235219-00235698 It's just changing our relationship with those thoughts, feelings, and sensations +-8XRxAox4no-00471-00235698-00236254 when they do come. That is where the control and the power is to really +-8XRxAox4no-00472-00236254-00237004 change and impact our well-being. I felt like this presentation wouldn't be +-8XRxAox4no-00473-00237004-00237430 complete without just a mention of compassion and self compassion, which is +-8XRxAox4no-00474-00237430-00237799 a little bit of even what I just talked about. This is being gentle on +-8XRxAox4no-00475-00237799-00238347 yourself, recognizing that when you're. recognized when you're stressed, +-8XRxAox4no-00476-00238347-00238969 recognizing and being mindful again that present moment awareness being kind to +-8XRxAox4no-00477-00238969-00239518 yourself and really feeling like you're connected to other people... doing that in +-8XRxAox4no-00478-00239518-00240196 ways that you can you are not alone. We are all in this soup together. We are not +-8XRxAox4no-00479-00240196-00240910 perfect, many of us are very like self-critical perfectionist. We're trying +-8XRxAox4no-00480-00240910-00241399 to perfectly manage during COVID 19...you know maintain our high level +-8XRxAox4no-00481-00241399-00242269 of work ethic, take care of our families and our homes. It is really tough so, I +-8XRxAox4no-00482-00242269-00242670 may implore you to be gentle with yourself, practice some self compassion. +-8XRxAox4no-00483-00242670-00243316 There's a lot of literature out there on self compassion. Kristin Neff N-E-F-F is +-8XRxAox4no-00484-00243316-00243811 one of the leaders in this area. You can definitely look up and even do some +-8XRxAox4no-00485-00243811-00244318 mindfulness meditation on self compassion. Just be kind to yourself, +-8XRxAox4no-00486-00244318-00244915 often times we are our harshest critic. We are most judgmental with our +-8XRxAox4no-00487-00244915-00245599 ourselves and so this is really just taking a moment recognizing this soup, +-8XRxAox4no-00488-00245599-00246274 that we're in, and how tough it is. And just be, you know, just be. This is +-8XRxAox4no-00489-00246274-00246612 you know again, just be. +-8XRxAox4no-00490-00246772-00247388 There's also there's a lot of talk about acceptance and I just wanted to take +-8XRxAox4no-00491-00247388-00247799 a moment really... when I think of acceptance to me it's not resignation. +-8XRxAox4no-00492-00247799-00248189 It's really just accepting that something just is. And when it's +-8XRxAox4no-00493-00248189-00248630 raining outside, you can say I don't like the rain. I wish it wasn't raining... I was +-8XRxAox4no-00494-00248630-00249134 gonna go her run, now I can't go for a run... ah, it always rains +-8XRxAox4no-00495-00249134-00249656 when I want it to be sunny... Rain. Rain. This is so awful... or you can +-8XRxAox4no-00496-00249656-00250376 look outside and it's raining, you're like "yep oh it's raining" It's just it's yep... we +-8XRxAox4no-00497-00250376-00251099 are in quarantine mode. Yep we're gonna be home for a while. Yep. And +-8XRxAox4no-00498-00251099-00251621 it doesn't mean you can't have those moments of some self-pity, +-8XRxAox4no-00499-00251621-00252380 or a moment of pity party. And it doesn't really help us to have this experience +-8XRxAox4no-00500-00252380-00252833 with, "I can't... I can't believe this is happening. This is so wrong."... like +-8XRxAox4no-00501-00252833-00253616 all of the rants that we hear. Yes, I get it and it is what it is, right? And here +-8XRxAox4no-00502-00253616-00254210 we are. And this is a space since the beginning of COVID 19, I've tried to sit +-8XRxAox4no-00503-00254210-00254552 in the space, Here we are, so I'm going to make the best of it.... I'm going +-8XRxAox4no-00504-00254552-00254999 to set up this little makeshift office in the corner of room so that I have a +-8XRxAox4no-00505-00254999-00255566 space to see my patients virtually. And to do some of my work. It is what it is. +-8XRxAox4no-00506-00255566-00255896 Yep. I don't have a dining room anymore because my daughter.. that's +-8XRxAox4no-00507-00255896-00256691 essentially her school room. It is what it is. Here we are. And it's just it's one +-8XRxAox4no-00508-00256691-00257054 of those things where you can choose... it's the choice. And again this is +-8XRxAox4no-00509-00257054-00257978 the awareness of where our thoughts at, where's our minds sitting. In to that note, +-8XRxAox4no-00510-00257978-00258476 this is one of my favorite Venn diagrams in the world. I use this all the time, and +-8XRxAox4no-00511-00258476-00258833 again it's a mindfulness piece of really just being aware of where your emotions +-8XRxAox4no-00512-00258833-00259256 are at and where your emotional mind is that and are you hanging out there with +-8XRxAox4no-00513-00259256-00259733 like feelings, stress, anxiety .Or is your mind hanging out this more reasonable +-8XRxAox4no-00514-00259733-00260204 side where you're more being very cognitive, thoughtful, +-8XRxAox4no-00515-00260204-00260723 staying over the surface statistics... you know a lot of us kind of tend towards +-8XRxAox4no-00516-00260723-00261143 one side or another. And the idea here is to have awareness of where your mind is +-8XRxAox4no-00517-00261143-00261605 hanging out and to try and leverage the other side to pull yourself into what we +-8XRxAox4no-00518-00261605-00262394 call wise mind, where yes, I feel this way and I know this and so let me just make +-8XRxAox4no-00519-00262394-00263072 a choice or be really in the moment in a wise minded space. So this is just really +-8XRxAox4no-00520-00263072-00263441 a trigger to kind of think about or framework to see where your mind is +-8XRxAox4no-00521-00263441-00263978 hanging out. As an aside I often see couples kind of struggle where one +-8XRxAox4no-00522-00263978-00264341 hangs out more on the emotional side and one hangs out more in the reasonable, +-8XRxAox4no-00523-00264341-00265082 rational side. I'm a psychologist married to an engineer and so this is often +-8XRxAox4no-00524-00265082-00265502 where I think we're we're very respectful of each other, so we we work +-8XRxAox4no-00525-00265502-00266024 it out... but I sometimes I know he's thinking very like +-8XRxAox4no-00526-00266024-00266381 logically. where I'm I'm on the other side. And so we try and pull that +-8XRxAox4no-00527-00266381-00267113 together. I wanted to just put this out there because I feel like this is a +-8XRxAox4no-00528-00267113-00267485 great little checklist to kind of think about how are you doing, like again going +-8XRxAox4no-00529-00267485-00268022 back to that, "how do I survive this pandemic?" It's really thinking +-8XRxAox4no-00530-00268022-00268610 about this to do list. Am i doing the essential tasks, showering, medication +-8XRxAox4no-00531-00268610-00269195 whatever else you need to do on a daily basis. I love the idea of cleaning one +-8XRxAox4no-00532-00269195-00269651 thing or space a day and this could be the dishes, it could just +-8XRxAox4no-00533-00269651-00270209 be dusting...We recently just got a one of the vacuum +-8XRxAox4no-00534-00270209-00270689 robots which like we're loving so we're letting her clean one space or thing a +-8XRxAox4no-00535-00270689-00271039 day... But it just there is something there's a sense of accomplishment. +-8XRxAox4no-00536-00271039-00271553 Then the idea of tending to something growing, that to me +-8XRxAox4no-00537-00271553-00272219 that is such an investment in the future. Where you get to see a plant grow or to +-8XRxAox4no-00538-00272219-00272747 work with a child and really watch their mind grow... and so that's really lots of +-8XRxAox4no-00539-00272747-00273191 value there. We talked a bunch about mindfulness already but really thinking +-8XRxAox4no-00540-00273191-00273602 about what you want to be present to and even +-8XRxAox4no-00541-00273602-00274241 just fapping, and just listening to sound, really mindfully listen to a song, maybe +-8XRxAox4no-00542-00274241-00274688 even actually listen to the words of a song. Then thinking about reaching +-8XRxAox4no-00543-00274688-00275123 out to someone beyond your home. Again this is a daily +-8XRxAox4no-00544-00275123-00275594 list... Once a day I try and have a list of colleagues and mentors and +-8XRxAox4no-00545-00275594-00276008 people who I like who pop in my mind and I'm actually just taking the time to +-8XRxAox4no-00546-00276008-00276620 reach out and say, "hey how are you doing?" Or dropping off something to +-8XRxAox4no-00547-00276620-00277091 someone in a socially distance no-contact way but like really being +-8XRxAox4no-00548-00277091-00277478 able to connect with someone. Then again I've mentioned this before and I +-8XRxAox4no-00549-00277478-00277903 think it's important here is do one thing that gets your heart rate up. And +-8XRxAox4no-00550-00277903-00278258 and then do something that you'll be glad you did later. This is kind of you +-8XRxAox4no-00551-00278258-00278693 know what would your future self thank you for and so thinking about you're one +-8XRxAox4no-00552-00278693-00279017 of the pillars of well-being that we often talk about is growth. +-8XRxAox4no-00553-00279017-00279401 What are you doing it grow during this time? And really being intentional about +-8XRxAox4no-00554-00279401-00280043 that. Let's just talk briefly about getting your heart rate up. I +-8XRxAox4no-00555-00280043-00280673 think one of the things we talk about is doing micro burst between meetings and +-8XRxAox4no-00556-00280673-00281036 sessions, and so really making sure that you're you're actually moving, you're not +-8XRxAox4no-00557-00281036-00281527 just sitting and maybe you're standing during a meeting. I try and personally +-8XRxAox4no-00558-00281527-00282173 stop my meeting five or ten minutes before the hour so I realize... we're +-8XRxAox4no-00559-00282173-00282794 there now, but stop and really just I actually get up, I go downstairs, I maybe +-8XRxAox4no-00560-00282794-00283313 fill up my water glass... but I'm now running down the stairs, running checking +-8XRxAox4no-00561-00283313-00283619 on my daughter, running back upstairs and I've gotten my heart rate going a little +-8XRxAox4no-00562-00283619-00284021 bit every hour. My Apple watch is great at like reminding me about that +-8XRxAox4no-00563-00284021-00284657 too. I just wanted to make a reminder about sleep, and really making +-8XRxAox4no-00564-00284657-00285025 sure that you're getting that that's a great place to take your temperature, +-8XRxAox4no-00565-00285025-00285530 check in on yourself. There's lots of people are reporting +-8XRxAox4no-00566-00285530-00286226 struggles with sleep, so be gentle on yourself with that. And being grateful +-8XRxAox4no-00567-00286226-00286652 ...what are you grateful for? And being really thoughtful +-8XRxAox4no-00568-00286652-00287054 about that. And thinking about how can you apply this within your +-8XRxAox4no-00569-00287054-00287714 homes or family. We often will stop in at dinner ask about you know what the +-8XRxAox4no-00570-00287714-00288077 highlight of our day was. We do something called the rosebud and thorn... we ask what +-8XRxAox4no-00571-00288077-00288608 the Rose of our day was, what the thorn the low point was, and what we're looking +-8XRxAox4no-00572-00288608-00289139 forward to. And really just bringing that forward... so that we're focusing on +-8XRxAox4no-00573-00289139-00289547 not just what we're missing out on, and also what we're gaining during this time. +-8XRxAox4no-00574-00289547-00289871 There's been a lot of silver linings of this pandemic, especially those of you +-8XRxAox4no-00575-00289871-00290330 that work in the tech field. I've been really impressed with how agile we +-8XRxAox4no-00576-00290330-00290990 really have become and how quickly things are moving. I'm very sensitive to +-8XRxAox4no-00577-00290990-00291305 our time and I don't want us to run over.. so I just want to make a quick note +-8XRxAox4no-00578-00291305-00291836 about values ...thinking about what matters to you really and when you're taking +-8XRxAox4no-00579-00291836-00292136 that temperature and you're thinking about that well-being, those buckets of +-8XRxAox4no-00580-00292136-00292679 well-being, what else can you do where do, you need to really pivot. What +-8XRxAox4no-00581-00292679-00293309 aren't you taking care of... and it might be yourself. We have you know we +-8XRxAox4no-00582-00293309-00293624 have a thing the metaphor of you know probably last time you fly you remember +-8XRxAox4no-00583-00293624-00294017 that we often are told to put our oxygen masks on first before we help anyone +-8XRxAox4no-00584-00294017-00294413 else. How often do we do that in our lives?.. where we really take care of +-8XRxAox4no-00585-00294413-00294812 ourselves on top of taking care of everyone else. It's really +-8XRxAox4no-00586-00294812-00295529 thinking about those different buckets of values. Then thinking about +-8XRxAox4no-00587-00295529-00296000 communication, really listening to the people around you...not just at home, +-8XRxAox4no-00588-00296000-00296609 but at work. Really mindfully listening so using your present moment awareness +-8XRxAox4no-00589-00296609-00297383 skills and communication helps out a lot, collaborating, using your compassion, self +-8XRxAox4no-00590-00297383-00297947 compassion, validating and empathizing. I have an eight-year-old who's +-8XRxAox4no-00591-00297947-00298562 losing her mind over what I might perceive is sometimes stupid stuff and I +-8XRxAox4no-00592-00298562-00299039 try not to minimize her experience even if I don't agree with it. I try and see +-8XRxAox4no-00593-00299039-00299666 it through her eyes, validate her. It doesn't mean I give in, it means I just +-8XRxAox4no-00594-00299666-00300030 am present for her, and present with her to try and help her see that I get it. +-8XRxAox4no-00595-00300030-00301134 I get it. I try and get it. It's really just leaning into that.This is an +-8XRxAox4no-00596-00301134-00301728 old proverb, it's been around for a long time, and just kind of thinking about +-8XRxAox4no-00597-00301728-00302136 starting to wrap us up here of again, the silver linings. A +-8XRxAox4no-00598-00302136-00302700 smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. And what we're going through right now, +-8XRxAox4no-00599-00302700-00303315 we are going to come out of this with some amazing skills and tools and ways +-8XRxAox4no-00600-00303315-00303687 of managing stress and anxiety that we've never had before because we're +-8XRxAox4no-00601-00303687-00304278 being challenged do so. I think it's it's really just constantly +-8XRxAox4no-00602-00304278-00304791 checking in with yourself, what's working for you, what's not... maybe something that +-8XRxAox4no-00603-00304791-00305118 worked for you for the last two weeks you need to change. This is an agile +-8XRxAox4no-00604-00305118-00305778 environment, test and learn... quick to fail we are figuring it out as +-8XRxAox4no-00605-00305778-00306461 as an individual, as an organization, as a team as a world. Being gentle ..and +-8XRxAox4no-00606-00306461-00307113 the other piece is really just just breathe ...this is a chapter, it's not your +-8XRxAox4no-00607-00307113-00307554 whole story. The minute we catastrophize and really worry about +-8XRxAox4no-00608-00307554-00307932 everything, that's going on try and pull yourself back into this moment and that +-8XRxAox4no-00609-00307932-00308412 this is a chapter we're all experiencing and this is not going to define us in +-8XRxAox4no-00610-00308412-00309258 the way that you your mind may tell you and really worried. I'm going to stop +-8XRxAox4no-00611-00309258-00309831 there. This is just some ways to reach out to me and I'm open. We have +-8XRxAox4no-00612-00309831-00310395 just a few minutes left some so if we have any QA or anything going on. +-8XRxAox4no-00613-00310395-00310962 Then these are some resources and also you know we'll make these slides +-8XRxAox4no-00614-00310962-00311319 available for you also, you can reference anything that we did and I know the +-8XRxAox4no-00615-00311319-00311844 recording will eventually be available. JD, my friend, I don't know if there's +-8XRxAox4no-00616-00311844-00312573 anything that we want to make sure we tackle in the last few minutes.. if +-8XRxAox4no-00617-00312573-00313191 anybody has any questions now would be the perfect time to get them in it...looks +-8XRxAox4no-00618-00313191-00313529 like we have about three minutes left. +-8XRxAox4no-00619-00313769-00314222 Ao speak now or forever hold your peace. +-8XRxAox4no-00620-00314231-00314789 Mike I'll hand it over to you to close out if you're finished dr. Drapkin. +-8XRxAox4no-00621-00314789-00315305 That's it thank you very much... Thank you. +-8XRxAox4no-00622-00315632-00316368 Hold on Mike like your your your audio is that not good and it looks like we +-8XRxAox4no-00623-00316368-00317084 we do have a question that just came up as well. Oh I'll be quiet then, JD do you wan to handle this? +-8XRxAox4no-00624-00317255-00318314 Yeah, I'm reading it to you see if I can.. okay I'll just read it verbatim. +-8XRxAox4no-00625-00318314-00318762 Previously I would have potentially more physical locations where I could escape +-8XRxAox4no-00626-00318762-00319293 to / from work, open source, family, friends. private time etc.. Now these have +-8XRxAox4no-00627-00319293-00319737 been reduced even more, so when the weather is poor..excuse me.. yep it's +-8XRxAox4no-00628-00319737-00320196 raining and if I need escape, I escaped from everything... and this has caused me +-8XRxAox4no-00629-00320196-00320667 to miss important virtual meetings, meetups, one bill, work chat, volunteer +-8XRxAox4no-00630-00320667-00321027 opportunities... I'm still trying to figure out a way to accomplish this and was +-8XRxAox4no-00631-00321027-00321738 wondering if you had any ways to help? I mean so thank you JD for reading +-8XRxAox4no-00632-00321738-00322641 that... you know it is really so tough, so tough, that we're all stuck in a +-8XRxAox4no-00633-00322641-00323166 similar physical location with family... And it just finding if I +-8XRxAox4no-00634-00323166-00323583 ......I think pretty regularly complain to my husband about exactly +-8XRxAox4no-00635-00323583-00324111 this. That I don't have a space that feels like my own where I can like close +-8XRxAox4no-00636-00324111-00324474 the door. I mean of course I have our bedroom but like you know he also shares +-8XRxAox4no-00637-00324474-00324966 that... so I find what a lot of patients that I'm working with are doing and I +-8XRxAox4no-00638-00324966-00325473 you know I do this myself is I do take walks. I also take walks in the rain. +-8XRxAox4no-00639-00325473-00326010 Then I'll take a mindful walk in the rain... people... I don't I don't +-8XRxAox4no-00640-00326010-00326619 know where the person lives, but people are also they'll get in their cars, so +-8XRxAox4no-00641-00326619-00326937 whether you have a car or not, but a car seems to be like a safe space that +-8XRxAox4no-00642-00326937-00327516 people are finding to get a little bit of quiet time. The bathroom which feels +-8XRxAox4no-00643-00327516-00327819 very old-school right like we all used to go to the bathroom to get a little +-8XRxAox4no-00644-00327819-00328286 bit of peace and quiet. But I've done sessions with patients in the bathroom. +-8XRxAox4no-00645-00328286-00328734 Sometimes even just ..... I think thinking creatively about where +-8XRxAox4no-00646-00328734-00329346 you can go to hide away, without avoidance. And so part of what I +-8XRxAox4no-00647-00329346-00329724 would say, and and part of what the person was asking, is I just wanna say I +-8XRxAox4no-00648-00329724-00330141 know this is really hard and I'm guessing part of what you're struggling +-8XRxAox4no-00649-00330141-00330753 with is that is not... is letting it get too bad. And so +-8XRxAox4no-00650-00330753-00331155 it's really again it's taking that temperature. One of my favorite metaphors +-8XRxAox4no-00651-00331155-00331812 is thinking about a pot of water boiling and thinking about it so easy on the +-8XRxAox4no-00652-00331812-00332301 stove and ideally we want it to be on the stove without the heat on, but the +-8XRxAox4no-00653-00332301-00332679 reality is it's always a little bit hot... because a little we're always a +-8XRxAox4no-00654-00332679-00332964 little bit stressed ...... if I wasn't stressed I +-8XRxAox4no-00655-00332964-00333303 want to be worried about the fact that like the noon hour just hit. +-8XRxAox4no-00656-00333303-00333657 It's there's a little bit of stress but I don't want it boiling so much that I +-8XRxAox4no-00657-00333657-00334200 can't be articulate in this last minute... The idea is catching it before you're +-8XRxAox4no-00658-00334200-00334584 at a rolling boil, that you feel like you need to avoid or miss things that have +-8XRxAox4no-00659-00334584-00335052 significant consequences. Taking that regular temperature, check on +-8XRxAox4no-00660-00335052-00335649 yourself every morning. How am i doing? What do I need? Where is it going? +-8XRxAox4no-00661-00335649-00336066 What do I need to do today? And communicating. That's part of why I +-8XRxAox4no-00662-00336066-00336408 very intentionally included that communication.. I know we don't have a ton +-8XRxAox4no-00663-00336408-00336774 of time to spend in any of those coping. But thinking about communicating with +-8XRxAox4no-00664-00336774-00337359 the people in your household, with your team members. Everyone, if you just say, I +-8XRxAox4no-00665-00337359-00337992 need I'm struggling. I'm having a hard time. I often find that those are really +-8XRxAox4no-00666-00337992-00338400 met with people want to be helpful. The thing is thinking about what do you need, +-8XRxAox4no-00667-00338400-00338766 what would be helpful... and they just say, what I need I need an hour +-8XRxAox4no-00668-00338766-00339537 myself in a space ....I just need to do me for an hour and or +-8XRxAox4no-00669-00339537-00339923 whatever you need. But thinking about that and so I would say that's my best +-8XRxAox4no-00670-00339923-00340323 answer in the in our last minute. But I think it's a really great +-8XRxAox4no-00671-00340323-00340620 question and I think we're all struggling with that ... We have no +-8XRxAox4no-00672-00340620-00341397 privacy at all. It's really tough, hang in there. +-8XRxAox4no-00673-00341397-00341841 Just be as creative you can, try a test and learn. Try different places to +-8XRxAox4no-00674-00341841-00342914 get some of that privacy. Thanks JD. Well we're a few minutes over... +-8XRxAox4no-00675-00342914-00343454 so I think it's it's time to wrap up. Thank you to JD for managing that, and +-8XRxAox4no-00676-00343454-00344042 again thank you Dr. Drapkin for the presentation. I will mention that +-8XRxAox4no-00677-00344042-00344644 there will be a transcript available at some point in the very near future and +-8XRxAox4no-00678-00344644-00345146 when the video is posted hopefully we'll the transcript will be at the same +-8XRxAox4no-00679-00345146-00345749 time... or shortly thereafter and with that I think we will wrap this up . +-8XRxAox4no-00680-00345749-00346291 Thank you very much. Thanks everybody, have a good day.
