YrA7pOYgSNu-00005-00001488-00001728 I'm here today with Mr. Pete Crews, YrA7pOYgSNu-00006-00001728-00001982 who is the Headland Airport Manager, YrA7pOYgSNu-00007-00001982-00002442 out at the local airport in my County. YrA7pOYgSNu-00008-00002442-00002670 We're really pleased to have him today YrA7pOYgSNu-00009-00002670-00002923 and we're going to ask him a couple of questions, YrA7pOYgSNu-00010-00002923-00003047 about his career YrA7pOYgSNu-00011-00003047-00003235 and how he got started. YrA7pOYgSNu-00012-00003235-00003472 So I would like to first ask you, YrA7pOYgSNu-00013-00003472-00003756 what was your major in college? YrA7pOYgSNu-00014-00003756-00003860 - Well my major has, YrA7pOYgSNu-00015-00003860-00004057 nothing to do with what I do now. YrA7pOYgSNu-00016-00004057-00004265 I Went to Auburn University Oregon YrA7pOYgSNu-00017-00004265-00004514 and majored in a gastronomy and soils YrA7pOYgSNu-00018-00004514-00004691 and I was planning on working for YrA7pOYgSNu-00019-00004691-00004854 the soil conservation service. YrA7pOYgSNu-00020-00004854-00005129 I was in the agriculture field, YrA7pOYgSNu-00021-00005129-00005212 I wanted to stay there. YrA7pOYgSNu-00022-00005212-00005295 I've been born YrA7pOYgSNu-00023-00005295-00005457 and raised as a farmer's son YrA7pOYgSNu-00024-00005457-00005623 and you know, YrA7pOYgSNu-00025-00005623-00005811 I'll probably continue on as being a farmer YrA7pOYgSNu-00026-00005811-00006087 or working in some line of agriculture. YrA7pOYgSNu-00027-00006185-00006289 - That's really cool. YrA7pOYgSNu-00028-00006289-00006447 What got you interested, YrA7pOYgSNu-00029-00006447-00006853 in being a part of the airport life? YrA7pOYgSNu-00030-00006853-00007040 - Well it's I think YrA7pOYgSNu-00031-00007040-00007270 aviation has been in my blood all my life. YrA7pOYgSNu-00032-00007270-00007511 I remember when I grew up here in Headland, YrA7pOYgSNu-00033-00007511-00007934 they had the helicopters from Fort Rucker Alabama, YrA7pOYgSNu-00034-00007934-00008067 Flew constantly in our area. YrA7pOYgSNu-00035-00008067-00008193 They were preparing for Vietnam YrA7pOYgSNu-00036-00008193-00008363 and they trained a good bit of pilots YrA7pOYgSNu-00037-00008363-00008446 here in this area. YrA7pOYgSNu-00038-00008446-00008678 So, they had the local landing fields YrA7pOYgSNu-00039-00008678-00008947 and for some of the pastures around our house YrA7pOYgSNu-00040-00008947-00009135 and if I got a free moment I'd go over YrA7pOYgSNu-00041-00009135-00009349 and watch the helicopters land YrA7pOYgSNu-00042-00009349-00009469 and you always, YrA7pOYgSNu-00043-00009469-00009613 just had an interest in watching them fly YrA7pOYgSNu-00044-00009613-00009698 and how they flew YrA7pOYgSNu-00045-00009799-00009991 and just lacked the aviation science YrA7pOYgSNu-00046-00009991-00010198 and I thought it was really cool to see them. YrA7pOYgSNu-00047-00010198-00010281 Something that big YrA7pOYgSNu-00048-00010281-00010401 and heavy could actually fly YrA7pOYgSNu-00049-00010401-00010551 and carry people on. YrA7pOYgSNu-00050-00010551-00010665 So I think it's something, YrA7pOYgSNu-00051-00010665-00010821 that was in my blood from early on YrA7pOYgSNu-00052-00010821-00011229 and just if I didn't act on it until later in life YrA7pOYgSNu-00053-00011229-00011369 but you know, YrA7pOYgSNu-00054-00011369-00011647 I think it's a calling I think it's summer to , YrA7pOYgSNu-00055-00011647-00011827 you know some other fields for, YrA7pOYgSNu-00056-00011827-00012051 you know maybe a law enforcement. YrA7pOYgSNu-00057-00012051-00012194 There's like yeah There's people, YrA7pOYgSNu-00058-00012194-00012320 it's a calling dealing with that field YrA7pOYgSNu-00059-00012320-00012564 and aviation is the same thing. YrA7pOYgSNu-00060-00012564-00012647 If you're a pilot, YrA7pOYgSNu-00061-00012647-00012897 you know it you like it there's no gray areas, YrA7pOYgSNu-00062-00012897-00013100 no, it's not cool, YrA7pOYgSNu-00063-00013100-00013183 It's nuts, YrA7pOYgSNu-00064-00013183-00013272 It's you either like it YrA7pOYgSNu-00065-00013272-00013451 or you don't like it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00066-00013451-00013608 - That's really interesting. YrA7pOYgSNu-00067-00013608-00013908 So maybe can you give us a typical day, YrA7pOYgSNu-00068-00013908-00014182 in what your job is like? YrA7pOYgSNu-00069-00014182-00014265 - Yeah, YrA7pOYgSNu-00070-00014265-00014348 I'd be glad to. YrA7pOYgSNu-00071-00014348-00014505 Well, I need to get up early in the morning YrA7pOYgSNu-00072-00014505-00014597 when it's not cool YrA7pOYgSNu-00073-00014597-00014819 and we have several things YrA7pOYgSNu-00074-00014819-00014985 that we take care of there at the airport. YrA7pOYgSNu-00075-00014985-00015138 we have aviation fuel, YrA7pOYgSNu-00076-00015138-00015304 that's for the airplanes that come YrA7pOYgSNu-00077-00015304-00015462 and go YrA7pOYgSNu-00078-00015462-00015546 and pilots stop YrA7pOYgSNu-00079-00015546-00015629 and refuel their planes, YrA7pOYgSNu-00080-00015629-00015755 similar to a gas station YrA7pOYgSNu-00081-00015755-00016014 you know at a convenience store except YrA7pOYgSNu-00082-00016014-00016165 that it's for aviation purposes. YrA7pOYgSNu-00083-00016165-00016341 And we have to check the fuel to YrA7pOYgSNu-00084-00016341-00016542 make sure the fuel has no water in it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00085-00016542-00016684 Because if these guys have a problem YrA7pOYgSNu-00086-00016684-00016855 in the air, they can't just stop YrA7pOYgSNu-00087-00016855-00017013 and check it out. YrA7pOYgSNu-00088-00017013-00017155 So it's very important YrA7pOYgSNu-00089-00017155-00017306 that the fuel is pure YrA7pOYgSNu-00090-00017306-00017564 and it's the grade that we sell. YrA7pOYgSNu-00091-00017564-00017798 So we do that as the very first thing, YrA7pOYgSNu-00092-00017798-00018000 they check that make sure that's good YrA7pOYgSNu-00093-00018000-00018256 and we are basic property managers. YrA7pOYgSNu-00094-00018256-00018401 We have, YrA7pOYgSNu-00095-00018401-00018661 I think it's about 392 acres of the airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00096-00018661-00018778 in Headland Alabama, YrA7pOYgSNu-00097-00018778-00019097 and we have 190 of that as row crop YrA7pOYgSNu-00098-00019097-00019339 and agriculture that we rent out to farmers. YrA7pOYgSNu-00099-00019339-00019502 So that's part of our management. YrA7pOYgSNu-00100-00019502-00019681 It's to work with that farmer, YrA7pOYgSNu-00101-00019681-00019867 and work with him on his crops, YrA7pOYgSNu-00102-00019867-00020093 that he has there We lease the land YrA7pOYgSNu-00103-00020093-00020176 and make sure he stays YrA7pOYgSNu-00104-00020176-00020323 within the confines of our lease. YrA7pOYgSNu-00105-00020323-00020490 And then we also have, YrA7pOYgSNu-00106-00020490-00020630 a number of buildings there, YrA7pOYgSNu-00107-00020714-00020797 we have 40 T hangers. YrA7pOYgSNu-00108-00020797-00020882 a T hangar is YrA7pOYgSNu-00109-00020882-00021082 a hanger that houses an airplane, YrA7pOYgSNu-00110-00021082-00021226 a small airplane. YrA7pOYgSNu-00111-00021226-00021410 generally aviation airplane, YrA7pOYgSNu-00112-00021410-00021523 It's a lot of people who owns boats YrA7pOYgSNu-00113-00021523-00021642 and you know second cars YrA7pOYgSNu-00114-00021642-00021725 and stuff. YrA7pOYgSNu-00115-00021725-00021874 several people own airplanes, YrA7pOYgSNu-00116-00021874-00021995 and they have to store them somewhere, YrA7pOYgSNu-00117-00021995-00022106 usually at an airport. YrA7pOYgSNu-00118-00022106-00022373 And so we have T hangers on Minnesota's. YrA7pOYgSNu-00119-00022373-00022721 We have 40 of them that are up for lease. YrA7pOYgSNu-00120-00022721-00022822 We keep those full. YrA7pOYgSNu-00121-00022822-00023012 So if somebody is leaving, YrA7pOYgSNu-00122-00023012-00023177 we have somebody to fill it up, YrA7pOYgSNu-00123-00023177-00023363 that's where we get a lot of our income from YrA7pOYgSNu-00124-00023363-00023629 and the rent of these buildings.

YrA7pOYgSNu-00144-00027156-00027436 - I know that probably working at an airport, YrA7pOYgSNu-00145-00027436-00027577 is a high-risk job? YrA7pOYgSNu-00146-00027577-00027936 What would you say is your biggest responsibility? YrA7pOYgSNu-00147-00027936-00028123 - I think the biggest thing is YrA7pOYgSNu-00148-00028123-00028361 probably making sure the Polish are taken care of YrA7pOYgSNu-00149-00028361-00028733 the people that come in to our airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00150-00028733-00028914 to make sure they feel welcome YrA7pOYgSNu-00151-00028914-00029136 and make sure they get a little taste YrA7pOYgSNu-00152-00029136-00029266 of our Southern hospitality. YrA7pOYgSNu-00153-00029266-00029411 So just want to make sure YrA7pOYgSNu-00154-00029411-00029623 that I portray Hedland airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00155-00029623-00029752 and my best life image YrA7pOYgSNu-00156-00029752-00029939 and make them remember YrA7pOYgSNu-00157-00029939-00030097 that they want to come back to heaven YrA7pOYgSNu-00158-00030097-00030260 that they lack it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00159-00030260-00030420 And so representing heaven airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00160-00030420-00030647 is probably my biggest responsibility. YrA7pOYgSNu-00161-00030741-00031020 - And moving onto the next question. YrA7pOYgSNu-00162-00031020-00031130 What would you say, YrA7pOYgSNu-00163-00031130-00031373 is one of your favorite things YrA7pOYgSNu-00164-00031373-00031685 that you get to do in your job?

YrA7pOYgSNu-00172-00032879-00032962 And I love sitting around YrA7pOYgSNu-00173-00032962-00033177 and talking aviation with the pilots. YrA7pOYgSNu-00174-00033177-00033295 That's always kind of fun. YrA7pOYgSNu-00175-00033295-00033455 And we have a front porch for, YrA7pOYgSNu-00176-00033455-00033539 this guys will come YrA7pOYgSNu-00177-00033539-00033710 and sit drink a cup of coffee YrA7pOYgSNu-00178-00033889-00033972 or a water YrA7pOYgSNu-00179-00033972-00034056 or soda YrA7pOYgSNu-00180-00034056-00034139 or whatever they have. YrA7pOYgSNu-00181-00034139-00034222 And , YrA7pOYgSNu-00182-00034328-00034455 we talked to them YrA7pOYgSNu-00183-00034455-00034592 and just, YrA7pOYgSNu-00184-00034592-00034720 you know they're getting their stories, YrA7pOYgSNu-00185-00034720-00034830 and you know you talk to some people YrA7pOYgSNu-00186-00034830-00034951 with very expensive aircraft, YrA7pOYgSNu-00187-00034951-00035143 and it's, YrA7pOYgSNu-00188-00035143-00035301 it's kind of neat to see YrA7pOYgSNu-00189-00035301-00035384 where have they been YrA7pOYgSNu-00190-00035384-00035467 or what they've done. YrA7pOYgSNu-00191-00035467-00035557 And you get associated YrA7pOYgSNu-00192-00035557-00035709 with some what we call, YrA7pOYgSNu-00193-00035709-00035844 the celebrities of our business. YrA7pOYgSNu-00194-00035844-00036000 The people that are flying the GS, YrA7pOYgSNu-00195-00036000-00036195 and you have a bigger aircraft YrA7pOYgSNu-00196-00036195-00036280 that we don't see a lot YrA7pOYgSNu-00197-00036280-00036425 but they have their own airplanes YrA7pOYgSNu-00198-00036425-00036539 and they come into our airport. YrA7pOYgSNu-00199-00036539-00036741 So I think associating with them, YrA7pOYgSNu-00200-00036741-00036824 seeing them YrA7pOYgSNu-00201-00036824-00036952 and listen to their stories. YrA7pOYgSNu-00202-00036952-00037128 That's, that's the best part of it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00203-00037128-00037332 Just, yeah, I'm a people person. YrA7pOYgSNu-00204-00037332-00037479 So I like to talk to people YrA7pOYgSNu-00205-00037479-00037743 and I don't like to be alone. YrA7pOYgSNu-00206-00037743-00038023 Also another cool thing I enjoy as if YrA7pOYgSNu-00207-00038023-00038231 there are a lot of things I do during the day. YrA7pOYgSNu-00208-00038231-00038382 And my attention spans, YrA7pOYgSNu-00209-00038382-00038547 is I guess it's fairly short. YrA7pOYgSNu-00210-00038547-00038701 So I need to change up during the day. YrA7pOYgSNu-00211-00038701-00038903 I don't want to do the same thing, YrA7pOYgSNu-00212-00038903-00039068 all day Every day. YrA7pOYgSNu-00213-00039068-00039302 This gives me a chance to deviate YrA7pOYgSNu-00214-00039302-00039544 from doing one thing for eight hours. YrA7pOYgSNu-00215-00039544-00039790 I can do something for, YrA7pOYgSNu-00216-00039790-00039874 you know 30, 40 minutes, YrA7pOYgSNu-00217-00039874-00039957 two hours YrA7pOYgSNu-00218-00039957-00040049 and then do something else. YrA7pOYgSNu-00219-00040049-00040241 And every day is a little bit different. YrA7pOYgSNu-00220-00040241-00040471 So it, so it makes the days interesting. YrA7pOYgSNu-00221-00040471-00040697 And this is what I like about it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00222-00040697-00040832 - And that's really cool. YrA7pOYgSNu-00223-00040832-00041117 What is something that you would, YrA7pOYgSNu-00224-00041117-00041354 tell someone going into your field? YrA7pOYgSNu-00225-00041354-00041519 Maybe some advice YrA7pOYgSNu-00226-00041610-00041742 - A little bit of advice for this. YrA7pOYgSNu-00227-00041742-00042110 If, if you've got aviation in your blood you know it YrA7pOYgSNu-00228-00042110-00042336 you need to spend some time around the airport, YrA7pOYgSNu-00229-00042336-00042636 I would suggest maybe a smaller airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00230-00042636-00042815 or a larger airport go out YrA7pOYgSNu-00231-00042815-00042995 and then you'll meet the people. YrA7pOYgSNu-00232-00042995-00043240 Most of the people at the airport are very friendly. YrA7pOYgSNu-00233-00043240-00043323 They want to talk YrA7pOYgSNu-00234-00043323-00043466 and tell about their stories YrA7pOYgSNu-00235-00043466-00043659 and tell you about their airport, YrA7pOYgSNu-00236-00043659-00043766 no matter who you are. YrA7pOYgSNu-00237-00043766-00043881 If you want to come out to the airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00238-00043881-00043975 people will talk to you YrA7pOYgSNu-00239-00043975-00044134 and tell you their stories. YrA7pOYgSNu-00240-00044134-00044263 So I think I support, YrA7pOYgSNu-00241-00044263-00044483 that they spend a little time at an airport. YrA7pOYgSNu-00242-00044483-00044613 To get to see what happens YrA7pOYgSNu-00243-00044613-00044913 during the daily routine at the airport. YrA7pOYgSNu-00244-00044913-00045022 And if you want to fly YrA7pOYgSNu-00245-00045022-00045193 you need to take your introductory flight there. YrA7pOYgSNu-00246-00045193-00045476 So all the local schools though YrA7pOYgSNu-00247-00045476-00045624 that did flight instruction YrA7pOYgSNu-00248-00045624-00045964 they have an introductory flat for $50. YrA7pOYgSNu-00249-00045964-00046056 You can take the fly YrA7pOYgSNu-00250-00046056-00046244 and fly around in an airplane. YrA7pOYgSNu-00251-00046244-00046382 See if it's your cup of tea. YrA7pOYgSNu-00252-00046382-00046475 You may think it is. YrA7pOYgSNu-00253-00046475-00046558 And it might not be. YrA7pOYgSNu-00254-00046558-00046774 So before you invest a lot of money YrA7pOYgSNu-00255-00046774-00046904 and take your lessons, YrA7pOYgSNu-00256-00046904-00047104 you need you how it tastes of it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00257-00047104-00047330 So it's not just, YrA7pOYgSNu-00258-00047330-00047605 yeah I would say spend some time at the airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00259-00047605-00047712 and get to know somebody YrA7pOYgSNu-00260-00047712-00047934 and I bet you you've met somebody in your life YrA7pOYgSNu-00261-00047934-00048017 that flies YrA7pOYgSNu-00262-00048017-00048100 or extended, YrA7pOYgSNu-00263-00048100-00048209 so , YrA7pOYgSNu-00264-00048209-00048334 that'd be the best thing. YrA7pOYgSNu-00265-00048452-00048736 - So in order to be an airport manager YrA7pOYgSNu-00266-00048736-00049090 did you have to get your pilots license YrA7pOYgSNu-00267-00049090-00049173 - At that! YrA7pOYgSNu-00268-00049173-00049311 That's not essential. YrA7pOYgSNu-00269-00049311-00049508 It helps to know a little bit about aviation YrA7pOYgSNu-00270-00049508-00049732 and I do have my pilot license YrA7pOYgSNu-00271-00049732-00049846 I got it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00272-00049846-00049983 I think within, YrA7pOYgSNu-00273-00049983-00050180 probably within a year of graduating from college, YrA7pOYgSNu-00274-00050180-00050431 I got a single engine airplane license. YrA7pOYgSNu-00275-00050431-00050733 And, but I said, it's not essential. YrA7pOYgSNu-00276-00050733-00050999 If, if you want to manage an airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00277-00050999-00051201 it's mostly about managing aviation YrA7pOYgSNu-00278-00051201-00051365 and having the license. YrA7pOYgSNu-00279-00051365-00051448 It's not important, YrA7pOYgSNu-00280-00051448-00051655 but it's but it asks your knowledge YrA7pOYgSNu-00281-00051655-00052007 and it helps you take care of the problems YrA7pOYgSNu-00282-00052007-00052110 that the Polish out better. YrA7pOYgSNu-00283-00052110-00052250 If you have that in the background. YrA7pOYgSNu-00284-00052250-00052641 So, but also have a commercial hot air balloon. YrA7pOYgSNu-00285-00052641-00052852 Last is a phone commercial Hunter balloons YrA7pOYgSNu-00286-00052937-00053148 did rise for passengers. YrA7pOYgSNu-00287-00053148-00053241 And so, you know YrA7pOYgSNu-00288-00053241-00053425 just having, YrA7pOYgSNu-00289-00053425-00053521 having been in the air, YrA7pOYgSNu-00290-00053521-00053699 having spent time in the airspace YrA7pOYgSNu-00291-00053699-00053865 to see what the pilots go through. YrA7pOYgSNu-00292-00053865-00054073 And it's, it's very helpful, YrA7pOYgSNu-00293-00054073-00054263 especially when you're talking to the pilots YrA7pOYgSNu-00294-00054263-00054469 that come into your area. YrA7pOYgSNu-00295-00054469-00054552 - So, YrA7pOYgSNu-00296-00054552-00054696 can you walk us through, YrA7pOYgSNu-00297-00054696-00054948 what getting your license is like? YrA7pOYgSNu-00298-00054948-00055271 - Yeah, it's, it's a process that takes YrA7pOYgSNu-00299-00055271-00055487 you know, depending on the weather, YrA7pOYgSNu-00300-00055487-00055679 everything you know is weather dependent. YrA7pOYgSNu-00301-00055679-00055769 You want to fly, YrA7pOYgSNu-00302-00055769-00055866 start flying. YrA7pOYgSNu-00303-00055866-00056012 The weather is very good. YrA7pOYgSNu-00304-00056012-00056124 You don't win slow. YrA7pOYgSNu-00305-00056124-00056242 You want wins YrA7pOYgSNu-00306-00056242-00056326 you know not choppy YrA7pOYgSNu-00307-00056326-00056437 or Gusty, YrA7pOYgSNu-00308-00056567-00056651 clouds in the air. YrA7pOYgSNu-00309-00056651-00056866 You want clear pretty day. YrA7pOYgSNu-00310-00056866-00056971 but you have to have, YrA7pOYgSNu-00311-00056971-00057240 40 hours of flight inside an airplane within YrA7pOYgSNu-00312-00057240-00057344 and I think 25 of YrA7pOYgSNu-00313-00057344-00057600 that has to be with an instructor. YrA7pOYgSNu-00314-00057600-00057930 So you have to have a certified flight instructor YrA7pOYgSNu-00315-00057930-00058119 to help you to teach you how to fly. YrA7pOYgSNu-00316-00058119-00058340 And then once you get to a certain number of hours, YrA7pOYgSNu-00317-00058340-00058424 you will solo. YrA7pOYgSNu-00318-00058424-00058647 You will take the plane out by yourself. YrA7pOYgSNu-00319-00058647-00058966 So I think I soloed after about four or five hours. YrA7pOYgSNu-00320-00058966-00059160 And then the instructor pop YrA7pOYgSNu-00321-00059160-00059364 will fly with you several times YrA7pOYgSNu-00322-00059364-00059624 and you have several other things you have to do. YrA7pOYgSNu-00323-00059624-00059829 You have to have cross-country flights YrA7pOYgSNu-00324-00059829-00059912 a hundred miles YrA7pOYgSNu-00325-00059912-00060002 or more. YrA7pOYgSNu-00326-00060002-00060308 You have to have so many hours of not flying. YrA7pOYgSNu-00327-00060308-00060496 You have to have so many touchy gauche YrA7pOYgSNu-00328-00060496-00060579 which is landing YrA7pOYgSNu-00329-00060579-00060727 and take off. YrA7pOYgSNu-00330-00060727-00060996 You need to build time in the airplane YrA7pOYgSNu-00331-00060996-00061170 and get comfortable with it. YrA7pOYgSNu-00332-00061170-00061313 Once you have that, YrA7pOYgSNu-00333-00061313-00061587 I think it's a minimum of 40 hours in the airplane YrA7pOYgSNu-00334-00061587-00061774 then you can take a written test, YrA7pOYgSNu-00335-00061774-00062205 which is administrated by the FAA system FAA tests YrA7pOYgSNu-00336-00062205-00062439 and you have to pass it up YrA7pOYgSNu-00337-00062439-00062616 and then after that you pass the test YrA7pOYgSNu-00338-00062616-00062804 you have to take a proficiency check ride YrA7pOYgSNu-00339-00062804-00062950 with an examiner. YrA7pOYgSNu-00340-00062950-00063150 And you have to go to where the examiner is. YrA7pOYgSNu-00341-00063150-00063324 I don't think there's one in our area. YrA7pOYgSNu-00342-00063324-00063572 I think nearest one is in Tallahassee Florida YrA7pOYgSNu-00343-00063572-00063862 and they put you through the gamut. YrA7pOYgSNu-00344-00063862-00063976 They asked you a lot of questions, YrA7pOYgSNu-00345-00063976-00064062 about flying, YrA7pOYgSNu-00346-00064062-00064251 the airspace questions. YrA7pOYgSNu-00347-00064251-00064491 They asked you questions about the machinery YrA7pOYgSNu-00348-00064491-00064694 and the weather, YrA7pOYgSNu-00349-00064694-00064847 everything associated with flight. YrA7pOYgSNu-00350-00064847-00064994 Then you have to pass both those. YrA7pOYgSNu-00351-00064994-00065210 So you have to passed a written test YrA7pOYgSNu-00352-00065210-00065429 and a proficiency test to, YrA7pOYgSNu-00353-00065429-00065555 to get your license. YrA7pOYgSNu-00354-00065555-00065693 And then once you do that, YrA7pOYgSNu-00355-00065693-00065777 you're issued your license YrA7pOYgSNu-00356-00065777-00065896 and your license never expires. YrA7pOYgSNu-00357-00065896-00066141 You'll have it for the rest of your life YrA7pOYgSNu-00358-00066141-00066321 but you have to do certain things, YrA7pOYgSNu-00359-00066321-00066470 to stay current in your airplane. YrA7pOYgSNu-00360-00066470-00066563 There's some, YrA7pOYgSNu-00361-00066563-00066710 if you you'll have a, YrA7pOYgSNu-00362-00066710-00066933 once every two year by any old flat review, YrA7pOYgSNu-00363-00066933-00067128 that you have to go up with, YrA7pOYgSNu-00364-00067128-00067246 another structure. YrA7pOYgSNu-00365-00067344-00067480 And he checks you out once every two years YrA7pOYgSNu-00366-00067480-00067606 to make sure that you can fly. YrA7pOYgSNu-00367-00067606-00067886 And you also have to have a medical certificate YrA7pOYgSNu-00368-00067886-00068177 which means that you have to be physically fit YrA7pOYgSNu-00369-00068177-00068268 and able YrA7pOYgSNu-00370-00068268-00068463 and not a health risk YrA7pOYgSNu-00371-00068463-00068546 or to fly. YrA7pOYgSNu-00372-00068546-00068648 So, YrA7pOYgSNu-00373-00068648-00068789 several things you have to have there. YrA7pOYgSNu-00374-00068789-00068872 And, YrA7pOYgSNu-00375-00069168-00069261 it's probably going to end up, YrA7pOYgSNu-00376-00069261-00069400 I think, YrA7pOYgSNu-00377-00069400-00069635 the cost for a total ride everything gets from, YrA7pOYgSNu-00378-00069635-00069909 5.5 and $7,000 right now. YrA7pOYgSNu-00379-00069909-00070088 That you'd have to invest to, YrA7pOYgSNu-00380-00070088-00070171 to make it work. YrA7pOYgSNu-00381-00070281-00070433 - Wow, that's really cool. YrA7pOYgSNu-00382-00070433-00070516 um, YrA7pOYgSNu-00383-00070516-00070835 I'd like to end with saying that YrA7pOYgSNu-00384-00070835-00070960 or asking you, YrA7pOYgSNu-00385-00070960-00071242 what is your single most, YrA7pOYgSNu-00386-00071242-00071353 exhilarating YrA7pOYgSNu-00387-00071353-00071584 or best memory as a, YrA7pOYgSNu-00388-00071584-00071842 an airport manager? YrA7pOYgSNu-00389-00071842-00071941 - Let's see here. YrA7pOYgSNu-00390-00071941-00072091 I think probably the best YrA7pOYgSNu-00391-00072091-00072247 and, YrA7pOYgSNu-00392-00072247-00072430 the most fun thing that happens, YrA7pOYgSNu-00393-00072430-00072552 We just have a fly in. YrA7pOYgSNu-00394-00072692-00072775 [ Indistinct ] YrA7pOYgSNu-00395-00072775-00072858 once a year, YrA7pOYgSNu-00396-00072858-00072941 we have done a couple of years, YrA7pOYgSNu-00397-00072941-00073193 but once a year we invite people in the area. YrA7pOYgSNu-00398-00073193-00073444 We sent out invitations to fly in on a certain date YrA7pOYgSNu-00399-00073444-00073580 We usually have Saturday, YrA7pOYgSNu-00400-00073580-00073821 and we have vendors here stackable, YrA7pOYgSNu-00401-00073821-00073971 harvest day we have here in town, YrA7pOYgSNu-00402-00073971-00074103 but we have it at the airport YrA7pOYgSNu-00403-00074103-00074263 and we, we call it fly in. YrA7pOYgSNu-00404-00074263-00074463 So people fly in from all over the area YrA7pOYgSNu-00405-00074463-00074785 and you can get 50 to a hundred planes there YrA7pOYgSNu-00406-00074785-00074889 at one time YrA7pOYgSNu-00407-00074889-00075023 and they park on the grass YrA7pOYgSNu-00408-00075023-00075285 and it's just really cool to have a park YrA7pOYgSNu-00409-00075285-00075413 and there are planes you never see. YrA7pOYgSNu-00410-00075413-00075598 And you haven't seen the long time YrA7pOYgSNu-00411-00075598-00075777 friends come over with their airplanes YrA7pOYgSNu-00412-00075777-00075983 and you have the public can come out YrA7pOYgSNu-00413-00075983-00076066 and walk around YrA7pOYgSNu-00414-00076066-00076149 and test airplane YrA7pOYgSNu-00415-00076149-00076232 see the airplanes, YrA7pOYgSNu-00416-00076232-00076436 and you'll maybe even get a flight. YrA7pOYgSNu-00417-00076436-00076658 We normally have a helicopter company there YrA7pOYgSNu-00418-00076658-00076811 to give them rides. YrA7pOYgSNu-00419-00076811-00076894 And, YrA7pOYgSNu-00420-00076894-00077000 so just the thought, YrA7pOYgSNu-00421-00077000-00077215 of putting all that together it's, YrA7pOYgSNu-00422-00077215-00077421 it's time assuming it's a massive effort YrA7pOYgSNu-00423-00077421-00077552 but seeing it come off YrA7pOYgSNu-00424-00077552-00077798 and see everybody there having fun. YrA7pOYgSNu-00425-00077897-00077997 [Indistinct] YrA7pOYgSNu-00426-00078175-00078415 it's so exhilarating feeling once it's all over. YrA7pOYgSNu-00427-00078541-00078719 - Well, thank you so much YrA7pOYgSNu-00428-00078719-00078918 for explaining your job YrA7pOYgSNu-00429-00078918-00079287 and everything that you have to do in it.

YsT3_Hci94k-00000-00000014-00000613 Did Zambia ministers related to finance and economy Dr Bwalya Ngandu and Christopher Bwalya YsT3_Hci94k-00001-00000613-00000808 Yaluma made you richer or poorer in 2018? YsT3_Hci94k-00002-00000808-00000959 Before we begin subscribe and click the bell icon so you don't miss new videos where I YsT3_Hci94k-00003-00000959-00001059 will analyze how your other politicians perform. YsT3_Hci94k-00004-00001059-00001478 In this video we will analyze only the single most important metric to determine how successful YsT3_Hci94k-00005-00001478-00001757 ministers were in particular year. YsT3_Hci94k-00006-00001757-00002451 No B.S. fancy talk, just perfectly real and honest statistic where you can't hide anything. YsT3_Hci94k-00007-00002451-00002855 Here's the deal: Most important metric for economy is: GDP YsT3_Hci94k-00008-00002855-00003157 per capita based on PPP. YsT3_Hci94k-00009-00003157-00003870 It's gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates YsT3_Hci94k-00010-00003870-00004182 and divided by total population. YsT3_Hci94k-00011-00004182-00004469 Here is the nice definition. YsT3_Hci94k-00012-00004469-00004998 Basically it's number that tells you how much stuff can average citizen buy with wage he YsT3_Hci94k-00013-00004998-00005198 gets every month. YsT3_Hci94k-00014-00005198-00005742 In countries with higher numbers citizens live great and buy bunch of new things every YsT3_Hci94k-00015-00005742-00005875 month. YsT3_Hci94k-00016-00005875-00006454 In countries with low numbers citizens live bad and scrape every month to buy food and YsT3_Hci94k-00017-00006454-00006934 pay living expenses, just to survive. YsT3_Hci94k-00018-00006934-00007558 If you are from Zambia comment below how much could you afford in 2018 and were you satisfied YsT3_Hci94k-00019-00007558-00007667 with that? YsT3_Hci94k-00020-00007667-00008215 Can't wait to see how satisfied with your purchasing power you were. YsT3_Hci94k-00021-00008215-00008600 Now: Our data source will be IMF's GDP per capita YsT3_Hci94k-00022-00008600-00008830 based on PPP rankings report. YsT3_Hci94k-00023-00008830-00009188 IMF stands for international monetary fund. YsT3_Hci94k-00024-00009188-00009625 We'll analyze 2 main factors. YsT3_Hci94k-00025-00009625-00010264 Position, in 2018 GDP per capita based on PPP rankings and change in rankings. YsT3_Hci94k-00026-00010264-00010854 If country is positioned high in the rankings like those countries here and improved a lot YsT3_Hci94k-00027-00010854-00011535 then economy related ministers are doing Phenomenal job, which is the best it can get. YsT3_Hci94k-00028-00011535-00012054 If country is positioned high and didn't drop rankings then economy related ministers are YsT3_Hci94k-00029-00012054-00012424 doing Excellent, Great or Good job. YsT3_Hci94k-00030-00012424-00013171 If country is positioned low like those countries here and didn't drop rankings then economy YsT3_Hci94k-00031-00013171-00013684 related ministers are doing Fair or Mediocre job. YsT3_Hci94k-00032-00013684-00014379 Now ff country is positioned high and it dropped rankings then economy related ministers are YsT3_Hci94k-00033-00014379-00014883 doing Poor, Bad or Awful job. YsT3_Hci94k-00034-00014883-00015495 If country is positioned low and it dropped rankings then economy related ministers are YsT3_Hci94k-00035-00015495-00015904 doing Abysmal job, which is the worst it can get. YsT3_Hci94k-00036-00015904-00016004 Is that clear? YsT3_Hci94k-00037-00016004-00016222 And now are you ready? YsT3_Hci94k-00038-00016222-00017125 Zambia ministers related to economy Dr Bwalya Ngandu and Christopher Bwalya Yaluma in 2018 YsT3_Hci94k-00039-00017125-00017673 performed, drumroll: ABYSMAL. YsT3_Hci94k-00040-00017673-00018695 Their score was -882 and they ranked 179th among all economy related ministers. YsT3_Hci94k-00041-00018695-00020590 Zambia was ranked 146th in 2017 which is very low and in 2018 they dropped 1 place to 147th YsT3_Hci94k-00042-00020590-00021351 place. YsT3_Hci94k-00043-00021351-00022051 So as you can see it's ABYSMAL job, your ministers are making you poorer. YsT3_Hci94k-00044-00022051-00022617 And while we are here I just want to apologize if Dr Bwalya Ngandu and Christopher Bwalya YsT3_Hci94k-00045-00022617-00023359 Yaluma were not ministers in 2018 because sometimes it's hard to find data from the YsT3_Hci94k-00046-00023359-00023465 past. YsT3_Hci94k-00047-00023465-00024062 This is just in case because I tried my best and I think the names are right. YsT3_Hci94k-00048-00024062-00024765 If you now want to see how leader of Zambia president Edgar Lungu did perform in 2018 YsT3_Hci94k-00049-00024765-00025006 click the link in top right corner. YsT3_Hci94k-00050-00025006-00025120 And that's not all... YsT3_Hci94k-00051-00025120-00025675 Let's see few ministers related to economy that performed the best so you can see how YsT3_Hci94k-00052-00025675-00026027 Phenomenal performance looks like. YsT3_Hci94k-00053-00026027-00026214 Here is the top of the rankings. YsT3_Hci94k-00054-00026214-00027031 Ranked number 1 were ministers from Taiwan Su Jain-rong and Shen Jong-chin. YsT3_Hci94k-00055-00027031-00027687 They did phenomenal job, and Taiwan recorded jump of 3 places in the rankings. YsT3_Hci94k-00056-00027687-00028387 Ranked number 2 were ministers from Spain María Jesús Montero and Nadia Calviño. YsT3_Hci94k-00057-00028387-00030147 Phenomenal job, Spain also jumped 3 places in the rankings. YsT3_Hci94k-00058-00030147-00030700 Ranked number 3 were ministers from China Liu Kun and Zhong Shan. YsT3_Hci94k-00059-00030700-00031283 And although China ranks little bit lower than Taiwan and Spain, in 2018 they leaped YsT3_Hci94k-00060-00031283-00031554 4 places from 81st to 77th. YsT3_Hci94k-00061-00031554-00032078 Now, before you go and watch next video: Remember to subscribe and click bell icon YsT3_Hci94k-00062-00032078-00032247 so you don't miss new 2019.

Yw1OnuKakHu-00007-00002106-00002604 I don't know if meaning exists Yw1OnuKakHu-00008-00002604-00002820 in advance or if we Yw1OnuKakHu-00009-00002898-00003138 create it out of nothing. Yw1OnuKakHu-00010-00003288-00003546 That would be a little bit like asking Yw1OnuKakHu-00011-00003606-00003882 about the chicken... the hen and the egg. Yw1OnuKakHu-00012-00003882-00004110 What comes first ? Yw1OnuKakHu-00013-00004110-00004272 But it's not that Yw1OnuKakHu-00014-00004272-00004392 I think that it's... Yw1OnuKakHu-00015-00004470-00004722 the universe is necessarily Yw1OnuKakHu-00016-00004722-00004860 without meaning. Yw1OnuKakHu-00017-00004860-00005088 But i believe that Yw1OnuKakHu-00018-00005088-00005622 that stories, it's kind of how we breathe Yw1OnuKakHu-00019-00005682-00005862 how humans breathe. Yw1OnuKakHu-00020-00005862-00006132 So it's like we swim in stories Yw1OnuKakHu-00021-00006132-00006402 we breathe stories, stories are all around us. Yw1OnuKakHu-00022-00006762-00007014 And it's a way of, yeah, Yw1OnuKakHu-00023-00007080-00007284 creating meaning. Yw1OnuKakHu-00024-00007284-00007745 I think it is, but it is also maybe Yw1OnuKakHu-00025-00007745-00007998 about creating hope or creating challenge Yw1OnuKakHu-00026-00007998-00008070 or creating Yw1OnuKakHu-00027-00008322-00008514 provocation, so it's not like... Yw1OnuKakHu-00028-00008700-00008796 Yeah this is really... Yw1OnuKakHu-00029-00008796-00009132 This may be really in concrete. Yw1OnuKakHu-00030-00009192-00009522 It's just like I feel that we are stories. Yw1OnuKakHu-00031-00009522-00009726 That's what constitutes us Yw1OnuKakHu-00032-00009726-00009918 as human beings. YzdjJLSVaVA-00000-00000000-00001500 Pedestal, Seat Y_Sooh8FEuI-00001-00000050-00000289 Please Like and Subscribe Y_Sooh8FEuI-00002-00000289-00000495 Share this Video YB0dDvHYI9y-00000-00000340-00000516 Hello you rolling raptors. YB0dDvHYI9y-00001-00000536-00000880 I'm Tim from Ghent, Belgium and during my very frist ride YB0dDvHYI9y-00002-00000880-00001223 with the Powerslide Next Burgundy Grey 90, I thought: YB0dDvHYI9y-00003-00001293-00001716 I'm feeling so much at ease in these skates that I wanna go stair riding! YB0dDvHYI9y-00004-00001809-00002226 And to raise the stakes, I chose a staircase that turns to my weak side. YB0dDvHYI9y-00005-00002330-00002656 Riding it with my right foot in front was kind of gnarly. YB0dDvHYI9y-00006-00002819-00003046 I felt very much out of balance. YB0dDvHYI9y-00007-00003183-00003409 My weight distribution was a mess. YB0dDvHYI9y-00008-00003463-00003873 I almost fell on those hard steps, which I absolutely wanted to avoid. YB0dDvHYI9y-00009-00003903-00004243 So I tried riding that staircase with my left foot in front. YB0dDvHYI9y-00010-00004263-00004463 That would go so much better. YB0dDvHYI9y-00011-00004506-00004643 Except it didn't. YB0dDvHYI9y-00012-00006083-00006350 That was not a very elegant landing. YB0dDvHYI9y-00013-00006390-00006819 I paid for my clumsiness with pain and humilation. YB0dDvHYI9y-00014-00006953-00007423 To immediately restore my confidence, I rode the staircase at the other side of the river. YB0dDvHYI9y-00015-00007443-00007730 The one turning to the right, my strong side. YB0dDvHYI9y-00016-00007946-00008130 Okay, I still had in me. YB0dDvHYI9y-00017-00008180-00008586 I could still claim the title of Rider of Stairs. YB0dDvHYI9y-00018-00008780-00009013 Here's a closer look of how my feet move. YB0dDvHYI9y-00019-00009393-00009713 I find that view very fascinating, don't you? YB0dDvHYI9y-00020-00010359-00010569 Enough confidence restored. YB0dDvHYI9y-00021-00010616-00010946 I still wanted to ride that other staircase. YB0dDvHYI9y-00022-00010973-00011230 Therefore, I used a cheat code. YB0dDvHYI9y-00023-00011230-00011476 I tried riding it backwards. YB0dDvHYI9y-00024-00011730-00011896 Cheating is easy. YB0dDvHYI9y-00025-00011896-00012433 It's humilating as hell, but it saves you a lot of pain. YB0dDvHYI9y-00026-00017683-00018119 Maybe I should shorten this clip for higher viewer retention stats on YouTube. YB0dDvHYI9y-00027-00018330-00018490 But I say bollocks to that. YB0dDvHYI9y-00028-00018613-00019023 I did enjoy that backwards flow, and you're gonna have to enjoy it too. YB0dDvHYI9y-00029-00019106-00019640 Or else the Inline Wheels of Wrath will grind you down. YB0dDvHYI9y-00030-00021416-00021490 That's it. YB0dDvHYI9y-00031-00021509-00021613 Thanks for watching. YB0dDvHYI9y-00032-00021636-00021909 If you liked this vdeo, then like it.

Member Plugin is a number one user profile and membership plugin for wordpress YEscDX6Mq70-00004-00003847-00004912 in this video, I will be showing you about the forms and how to edit your default registration YEscDX6Mq70-00005-00004912-00006024 and profile form template, and also how to add and set up for different users and user roles YEscDX6Mq70-00006-00006344-00006623 just the facts let's get down to the video YEscDX6Mq70-00007-00006856-00007831 welcome to video number two here we are inside of our wordpress website and YEscDX6Mq70-00008-00007976-00008816 inside of the ultimate member if you need to watch how to set up the ultimate number YEscDX6Mq70-00009-00008816-00009408 through the settings you will find video number one located in the description of this video YEscDX6Mq70-00010-00009600-00010640 this is your dashboard and you can move your boxes around to wherever you would like to to see them YEscDX6Mq70-00011-00010976-00011880 get a user cache and you can clear your cache at any time you can also purge temporary files YEscDX6Mq70-00012-00012200-00012472 and this is your users overview YEscDX6Mq70-00013-00012680-00013096 here it says i have 205 users 23 approved zero YEscDX6Mq70-00014-00013096-00013560 rejected pending review awaiting email confirmation or inactive YEscDX6Mq70-00015-00013968-00014952 the next place that you want to go to is to your user roles and this is the most important part YEscDX6Mq70-00016-00015280-00016032 you will see here you have a number of different user roles the best thing for you to do YEscDX6Mq70-00017-00016032-00016664 is to create a new user role in which you are going to be using with your membership YEscDX6Mq70-00018-00016768-00016984 so you would tap on add new YEscDX6Mq70-00019-00017272-00018384 now this is the easiest way that I found so say we're going to use the new subscriber YEscDX6Mq70-00020-00019176-00019840 this is important because if they can access the wp mn which means they can create posts YEscDX6Mq70-00021-00019840-00020736 and they can create their profile so I am going to click yes force hiding the admin to the front end YEscDX6Mq70-00022-00021032-00021528 in the front end and I am not going to hide it YEscDX6Mq70-00023-00022160-00022936 if you choose the circle with the question mark this will answer your most important question YEscDX6Mq70-00024-00022936-00023472 this option if you need to hide the admin bar on the front end for this role and we YEscDX6Mq70-00025-00023472-00024352 don't need to hide this because we are giving them wordpress admin this is if you choose to do this YEscDX6Mq70-00026-00024712-00025224 can edit other members accounts and of course you don't want your new subscribers to edit YEscDX6Mq70-00027-00025224-00025752 other members accounts can delete other members accounts can edit their own profile YEscDX6Mq70-00028-00025872-00026392 can delete their own profile can view other members profiles YEscDX6Mq70-00029-00026495-00027104 and here you can choose the other members of the profile that you would like to see YEscDX6Mq70-00030-00027239-00027600 that they can view so you would just choose the ones that you want YEscDX6Mq70-00031-00027768-00028416 can make their profile private that would be up to you and view and access files YEscDX6Mq70-00032-00028576-00029216 you can view the default home page this is also up to you this is your home page YEscDX6Mq70-00033-00029464-00030232 on that they would be able to look at through your admin and the registration status YEscDX6Mq70-00034-00030552-00031024 you have auto approved require email activation require an admin to review YEscDX6Mq70-00035-00031088-00031552 and this is also up to you if you choose to require email activation YEscDX6Mq70-00036-00031752-00032383 a login using after validating the activation link and here you can show a custom message YEscDX6Mq70-00037-00032648-00033232 you can also have a url redirect after email activation and this is YEscDX6Mq70-00038-00033472-00034056 maybe or some other information that you would like to use an action to be YEscDX6Mq70-00039-00034056-00034728 taken after login redirect to profile this here is your choice redirect to another url YEscDX6Mq70-00040-00034808-00035208 refresh active page redirect to wordpress admin YEscDX6Mq70-00041-00035552-00036408 if you choose redirect to the wordpress admin this will automatically sign them in to their admin and YEscDX6Mq70-00042-00036520-00037120 i find that if you redirect to a profile sometimes people don't know what to do so i'm going to do YEscDX6Mq70-00043-00037120-00037760 redirect to the wordpress admin and action to be taken after log out you can go to your home page YEscDX6Mq70-00044-00037968-00038336 or you can go to a custom url just go to your home page YEscDX6Mq70-00045-00038536-00039264 and actions to be taken after account is deleted go to home page or go to a custom YEscDX6Mq70-00046-00039264-00039768 url so you see you have an opportunity to send people to different urls as well YEscDX6Mq70-00047-00039944-00040784 this is what you call your word press capabilities what are you allowing them to do so here YEscDX6Mq70-00048-00041136-00041704 you would look through each one of these and decide do you want these people who YEscDX6Mq70-00049-00041704-00042352 are signing into your website able to do things and these are the different actions YEscDX6Mq70-00050-00042808-00043584 edit posts edit others others post no you don't want them to edit others posts publish posts YEscDX6Mq70-00051-00043872-00044320 read and here you want to give them a level YEscDX6Mq70-00052-00044688-00045152 edit others pages edit publish pages publish pages delete pages YEscDX6Mq70-00053-00045960-00046512 edit private posts read private posts and you can go through all of these different YEscDX6Mq70-00054-00046624-00047096 options that you have right here you don't want people in your website doing things YEscDX6Mq70-00055-00047240-00048144 that only an admin should be able to do and if you are allowing people to add YEscDX6Mq70-00056-00048144-00049184 products and use the woocommerce then you can choose any one of these boxes here YEscDX6Mq70-00057-00049816-00050584 so what we have is edit posts publish posts and read YEscDX6Mq70-00058-00051448-00052064 you can also allow to upload files and manage categories YEscDX6Mq70-00059-00052384-00052488 and then when you are done YEscDX6Mq70-00060-00052704-00053055 you would give your role a priority number so i'm giving YEscDX6Mq70-00061-00053055-00053344 number seven and then you would create your role YEscDX6Mq70-00062-00053640-00054144 so this is the role of a new subscriber as an example YEscDX6Mq70-00063-00054648-00055400 now you want to make sure that after you have done this you go into your settings into your general YEscDX6Mq70-00064-00055640-00055912 and here you will see your site title YEscDX6Mq70-00065-00055912-00057040 your tagline your email address and here where it says membership this is very important you YEscDX6Mq70-00066-00057040-00057679 have to check anyone can register and then you will choose your role that you created YEscDX6Mq70-00067-00058104-00058424 which would be right there the new subscriber YEscDX6Mq70-00068-00058608-00059120 and then when you are done you will then just click on save changes YEscDX6Mq70-00069-00059424-00059984 so now that you you have people are able to post YEscDX6Mq70-00070-00060112-00060567 so you want to go in from the links YEscDX6Mq70-00071-00061128-00061784 and you want to make sure that you have this post name selected YEscDX6Mq70-00072-00062352-00062536 and then you would then save your YEscDX6Mq70-00073-00062536-00063840 changes so now you have created your user roles you've made sure that people can register for YEscDX6Mq70-00074-00063920-00064584 uh it can become a member of your blog here you will see this is what YEscDX6Mq70-00075-00064840-00065656 your profile picture will look like and this is the size of your cover profile YEscDX6Mq70-00076-00065872-00065984 next YEscDX6Mq70-00077-00066216-00066280 we are going to YEscDX6Mq70-00078-00066672-00066904 so when you go back in your YEscDX6Mq70-00079-00067344-00067456 your ultimate number YEscDX6Mq70-00080-00068288-00069032 into your forms here you will notice you have three default forms you have a registration YEscDX6Mq70-00081-00069032-00069632 a login and a profile we are going to check out all three and then YEscDX6Mq70-00082-00069904-00070856 we are going as a test so first we're going to look in the registration just click on edit YEscDX6Mq70-00083-00071456-00072296 and here you these are the boxes that were at were added when you just see your registration YEscDX6Mq70-00084-00072296-00072880 form you may not have any boxes there you may just have username or email and pass YEscDX6Mq70-00085-00072968-00073816 password so this is the registration form the next form is the profile form YEscDX6Mq70-00086-00074296-00075000 so this is very easy to register username first name email and password the profile form YEscDX6Mq70-00087-00075544-00075784 so your default profile form YEscDX6Mq70-00088-00075944-00076560 and i'm just going to click on the in your default profile you want to click on your edit YEscDX6Mq70-00089-00076896-00077472 now your profile form is not going to look like this this was created YEscDX6Mq70-00090-00077832-00078584 by using the default profile form and adding different fields YEscDX6Mq70-00091-00078896-00079544 so now that being said this profile here not to confuse you is this profile here YEscDX6Mq70-00092-00079680-00080616 what you add in fields to your profile is what people will be filling out for their own profile YEscDX6Mq70-00093-00080616-00081384 information is the one that i have created to show you the example of creating a profile form YEscDX6Mq70-00094-00081600-00082784 so then you would then click on edit just like you are editing your default profile form YEscDX6Mq70-00095-00083120-00084184 so this is what you will be looking at YEscDX6Mq70-00096-00084544-00085584 make sure that you are in

you call padding and this is for more this is for when people are more experienced YEscDX6Mq70-00119-00106520-00106848 in doing your editing and here you have a margin YEscDX6Mq70-00120-00107080-00107448 so it's set at 30 pixels and you also have a border YEscDX6Mq70-00121-00107448-00108176 if you want to change the border say i chose this or i put five and i believe this is right YEscDX6Mq70-00122-00108911-00109159 and again this is for people who are more experienced YEscDX6Mq70-00123-00109224-00109720 in doing the editing and you have a border radius YEscDX6Mq70-00124-00110280-00110688 and say we have four in radius of five this is just an example YEscDX6Mq70-00125-00110688-00111288 i don't normally use this and the border color will be YEscDX6Mq70-00126-00111911-00112280 let's go with red so this is just an example and then i'm going to choose update YEscDX6Mq70-00127-00112616-00113111 okay so now i've set my row and now i want to add YEscDX6Mq70-00128-00113311-00113583 fields YEscDX6Mq70-00129-00113848-00114304 or just click in the plus and here you will see all of your fields come up YEscDX6Mq70-00130-00114904-00115535 and you can add a text box a number you can add a drop-down box i'll multi-select and YEscDX6Mq70-00131-00115535-00116383 we will be going through each one of these so basically you want to have a username or email YEscDX6Mq70-00132-00116928-00117783 and then you want to have YEscDX6Mq70-00133-00118104-00118168 first name YEscDX6Mq70-00134-00118432-00119240 so this is an example of using this box this type of rope here YEscDX6Mq70-00135-00119480-00119816 and you can choose any one of these fields YEscDX6Mq70-00136-00120016-00121152 in order for you to create the pros will be what other people see so you can have a website url YEscDX6Mq70-00137-00121864-00123032 so as you can see i have three boxes here here is this two two boxes just simply by clicking YEscDX6Mq70-00138-00123304-00124783 on these boxes here and this will now change from three to two to one YEscDX6Mq70-00139-00125520-00126224 at any time you can add anything that you see in your field manager i'm just going to go over YEscDX6Mq70-00140-00126224-00127583 the most important ones that you can add you can add a text box YEscDX6Mq70-00141-00128800-00129424 so let's put a title in let's say the title is my YEscDX6Mq70-00142-00129720-00130408 pet's name okay so my pet's name is the title you're going to create a YEscDX6Mq70-00143-00130408-00130968 meta key and a meta key is is lowercase underscore YEscDX6Mq70-00144-00131272-00131952 connected and this creates your your meta key and a label YEscDX6Mq70-00145-00132664-00133288 you can create help text this is a clue okay so it's not YEscDX6Mq70-00146-00133512-00134080 oscar you can create a default value and any YEscDX6Mq70-00147-00134080-00134584 time you get stopped you just click into this circle with the check mark YEscDX6Mq70-00148-00134704-00135080 and it will tell you this option allows you to pre-fill the field with a default YEscDX6Mq70-00149-00135144-00136504 value prior to the user entering a value in the field leave bank to have leave blank to YEscDX6Mq70-00150-00136504-00137440 have no default value okay and then you have the minimum length so let's say it is twenty YEscDX6Mq70-00151-00137600-00138288 minimum number of characters to be inputted in this field oh the minimum number so the YEscDX6Mq70-00152-00138288-00140432 minimum number let's say is three and the visibility placeholder this is the text YEscDX6Mq70-00153-00141248-00141688 that appears within the field example please enter your email leave blank to YEscDX6Mq70-00154-00141688-00142984 not show any placeholder text okay so no placeholder text privacy who can see it YEscDX6Mq70-00155-00143112-00143808 and here you can use your drop down box only visible to profile owner and admin only visible to YEscDX6Mq70-00156-00143808-00144640 profile owner specific roles only specific member roles or everyone and does it need to be validated YEscDX6Mq70-00157-00145248-00146288 no none maximum late 20. is this field required no YEscDX6Mq70-00158-00146416-00148584 can user edit this field yes and then choose your icon this is how you create a text field YEscDX6Mq70-00159-00149176-00150272 you can search in the icons by typing in a word and if nothing comes up you can just choose YEscDX6Mq70-00160-00151024-00151384 and then finish YEscDX6Mq70-00161-00151616-00152072 and then choose add this is an example of a text YEscDX6Mq70-00162-00152072-00152784 field YEscDX6Mq70-00163-00154192-00154608 okay this is an example of a drop menu YEscDX6Mq70-00164-00155008-00155584 so this is a drop down menu YEscDX6Mq70-00165-00155688-00156400 and it is the same the same information you're going to do a title that say my pet's age YEscDX6Mq70-00166-00156608-00157136 it's the same as your label so you're going to put your label YEscDX6Mq70-00167-00157136-00158040 in here as the same and then your meta key and as you do this it becomes easier and YEscDX6Mq70-00168-00158040-00158664 easier and here are your choices YEscDX6Mq70-00169-00159072-00159824 you put one choice per line okay so two YEscDX6Mq70-00170-00160032-00160472 three four five six YEscDX6Mq70-00171-00160696-00161720 and view anywhere i'm sorry view everywhere choices call back and choose an icon and YEscDX6Mq70-00172-00161720-00162736 choose add so this is your drop down menu your next example and add as many fields YEscDX6Mq70-00173-00162736-00163424 as you would like but fields that you are adding are what people are filling out file YEscDX6Mq70-00174-00163848-00163984 add a multi-select YEscDX6Mq70-00175-00164312-00164488 or you could add a number YEscDX6Mq70-00176-00164784-00165384 or you could add a number YEscDX6Mq70-00177-00165656-00166336 actual pro forum profile form for this

YJPzWecGM-0-00025-00008970-00009313 At night it's a different story,Buildings light up the Gold Coast YJPzWecGM-0-00026-00009313-00009771 technology takes over,it becomes a city of neon lights YJPzWecGM-0-00027-00009771-00010104 But as I look out into the night,listening YJPzWecGM-0-00028-00010104-00010541 the echoing waves splash,reflections of the city lights YJPzWecGM-0-00029-00010541-00010919 on the blacken ocean give shades of light grey and mirror images YJPzWecGM-0-00030-00010919-00011276 of the sky light up,giving a mystical YJPzWecGM-0-00031-00011276-00011605 feeling and thinking how lucky YJPzWecGM-0-00032-00011605-00011763 I am to be here on the Gold Coast YJPzWecGM-0-00033-00011763-00011981 that's what people want to be happy YKFe6UTswuA-00000-00000000-00000400 I remember what you told me YKFe6UTswuA-00001-00000420-00000700 said I wasn't made right YLUkSUz_0Pg-00000-00000000-00000300 Hello, this is Ming-Na. YLUkSUz_0Pg-00001-00000300-00000800 Every year, approximately 300 children under the age of 5 drown in swimming pools and spas. YLUkSUz_0Pg-00002-00000800-00001200 Thousands more are hospitalized after close calls. YLUkSUz_0Pg-00003-00001200-00001500 Every single one of these deaths and injuries is preventable. YLUkSUz_0Pg-00004-00001500-00001950 Simple steps save lives YLUkSUz_0Pg-00005-00001950-00002600 And not just one or two steps, but multiple ones must be taken at all times to ensure safety around pools and spas. YLUkSUz_0Pg-00006-00002600-00002900 That’s what we mean by Pool Safely. YLUkSUz_0Pg-00007-00002900-00003300 So always apply as many of the following simple steps as possible YLUkSUz_0Pg-00008-00003300-00003700 because you never know which safety step will save a life... YLUkSUz_0Pg-00009-00003700-00003900 until it does. YMtdU_sjuLA-00000-00001064-00001440 There is a big gap between the Foundation's technical activities and what editors actually YMtdU_sjuLA-00001-00001440-00001864 need. An easy way to solve this gap is to significantly increase staff resources to YMtdU_sjuLA-00002-00001864-00002272 the community wishlist program.This has been working well over the years but it has not had YMtdU_sjuLA-00003-00002272-00002776 the staff capacity to fix all the requests it receives. There is also a significant backlog YMtdU_sjuLA-00004-00002776-00003176 of technical issues some of which date back to more than decade which should be fixed. YMtdU_sjuLA-00005-00003272-00003560 Significant improvements could be made elsewhere as well. YMtdU_sjuLA-00006-00003615-00004064 A flexible user interface that scales with screen sizes will significantly help those using smaller YMtdU_sjuLA-00007-00004064-00004608 devices such as mobile phones for editing. This is particularly true for Global South communities. YMtdU_sjuLA-00008-00004688-00005208 Sister projects also particularly need technical support. For example Wikisource has huge potential YMtdU_sjuLA-00009-00005208-00005760 to transcribe both old texts in the public domain and newer freely licensed publications; however, YMtdU_sjuLA-00010-00005760-00006216 Wikisource desperately needs significant technical work to modernize and streamline its editing YMtdU_sjuLA-00011-00006216-00006792 process. We also need to make it easier to embed and edit media content on Wikipedia Commons YMtdU_sjuLA-00012-00006792-00007184 to make our content more accessible to those who struggle to learn through reading text. YMtdU_sjuLA-00013-00007616-00008424 I am not sure about that and I don't think this is the best question to be asked. Firstly, YMtdU_sjuLA-00014-00008520-00009152 Wikimedia Foundation technical prioritization should not necessarily reflect editors wants YMtdU_sjuLA-00015-00009152-00009920 and needs. There are technical challenges like technological debt or infrastructure scalability, YMtdU_sjuLA-00016-00009920-00010400 which are very important, but far from a typical editor's wish list. YMtdU_sjuLA-00017-00010640-00011400 Also we should cater for not only current editors but also for future editors and other users YMtdU_sjuLA-00018-00011400-00012128 like readers. They have their needs and we should be meeting them possibly well. YMtdU_sjuLA-00019-00012280-00012863 Think about multimedia user experience and tools facilitating the best content. YMtdU_sjuLA-00020-00013063-00013519 Secondly, I believe that in general we are spending too little on tech. YMtdU_sjuLA-00021-00013632-00014184 Wikipedia is a top independent website and its budget is nowhere near the giants of internet. YMtdU_sjuLA-00022-00014304-00014904 Latest annual report claims 42 percent of the total expenses to be spent on the website; YMtdU_sjuLA-00023-00015008-00015608 however, only a fraction of this is spent on actual development and our YMtdU_sjuLA-00024-00015608-00016104 needs with Abstract Wikipedia and promised AI [Artificial Intelligence] usage are big. YMtdU_sjuLA-00025-00016208-00016808 In the past the scope of an investment was pretty limited. I remember Wikimedia Czechia YMtdU_sjuLA-00026-00016808-00017664 applying for funds for an android app or Wikimedia Commons because it couldn't be funded by the WMF YMtdU_sjuLA-00027-00017664-00018584 directly. We need to invest much more in both strategic changes and in the community wish list. YMtdU_sjuLA-00028-00018696-00019208 This is one of key priorities I would like to support so we remain relevant YMtdU_sjuLA-00029-00019320-00019784 and we keep and expand our audiences and user base. YMtdU_sjuLA-00030-00020120-00020656 As a volunteer myself working extensively on outreach with education, GLAM, libraries, YMtdU_sjuLA-00031-00020656-00021344 collaborating with governmental institutions, working on medical projects, to efforts focusing YMtdU_sjuLA-00032-00021344-00021992 on Wiki Womxn, the gender gap and other knowledge gaps and in recent years lots of Wikidata and YMtdU_sjuLA-00033-00022048-00022656 also as an admin on Hebrew Wikipedia, I've been acutely aware of various technical YMtdU_sjuLA-00034-00022712-00023528 needs of the community and the necessity to invest in technological infrastructure and tools YMtdU_sjuLA-00035-00023528-00024104 to aid the manual work that volunteers have been doing as well as working with our partners. I YMtdU_sjuLA-00036-00024104-00024552 believe there is a known gap in that respect between what the Wikimedia Foundation is currently YMtdU_sjuLA-00037-00024552-00025216 doing and what the community needs which is why it was important for me to address it as a trustee YMtdU_sjuLA-00038-00025216-00025680 and work from within to improve things. Besides Community Affairs Committee YMtdU_sjuLA-00039-00025736-00026288 that i've been heavily involved in, one of my top priorities as a trustee has been a focus on our YMtdU_sjuLA-00040-00026288-00026808 product and technology work. I've been a member of the product and technology board committee YMtdU_sjuLA-00041-00026808-00027495 since its inception and I have worked with our staff on strategically thinking how we can improve YMtdU_sjuLA-00042-00027600-00028200 both the services we offer to our users as well as the services we provide to our community. I YMtdU_sjuLA-00043-00028200-00028783 was especially interested in how we can involve our community more in what is being done in help YMtdU_sjuLA-00044-00028783-00029392 prioritizing and addressing needs in a consistent way that is part of the Wikimedia Foundation YMtdU_sjuLA-00045-00029392-00029895 strategy for product and tech considering that we have such a talented dev[elopment] community YMtdU_sjuLA-00046-00029895-00030464 with amazing innovative and creative volunteers. It so happens that on August YMtdU_sjuLA-00047-00030464-00030752 1st a new CPTO [Chief Product and Technology Officer] joined the Wikimedia Foundation, YMtdU_sjuLA-00048-00030824-00031480 so after years of divided departments the product department and the technology department, which YMtdU_sjuLA-00049-00031480-00032152 together consists of the majority of Wikimedia Foundation employees, we now have an opportunity YMtdU_sjuLA-00050-00032152-00032896 to reassess that structure, to reassess how we work and find ways to work more effectively, YMtdU_sjuLA-00051-00032896-00033464 more efficiently, as well as to address more needs that came from the community. YMtdU_sjuLA-00052-00033536-00034080 As I noted before I believe the Wikimedia Foundation cannot do everything but I do think YMtdU_sjuLA-00053-00034080-00034536 that we can do much better with the existing manpower and talent that we currently have, YMtdU_sjuLA-00054-00034616-00035072 and I hope that as we better define roles, responsibility and scope YMtdU_sjuLA-00055-00035144-00035712 what the Wikimedia Foundation cannot do other stakeholders in the movement can own and address YMtdU_sjuLA-00056-00035712-00036512 together with our community. So technical prioritization is a process that must rest YMtdU_sjuLA-00057-00036512-00037304 upon what the community wants and needs, as well as our vision and priorities for 2030 and this YMtdU_sjuLA-00058-00037304-00037984 process is a challenge that we are determined to see through and make sure we address. Thank you. YMtdU_sjuLA-00059-00038288-00038888 Okay thank you. I really do like this actually but in my opinion no I don't think so and that's why YMtdU_sjuLA-00060-00038888-00039512 I always encourage greater collaborations between editors and the Wikimedia Foundation as a whole. YMtdU_sjuLA-00061-00039512-00040208 And I also encourage tools or on technological tools that are DEI [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion] YMtdU_sjuLA-00062-00040208-00041016 centered that's diversity, equity and inclusion. And just like the Wikimedia Deutschland has done YMtdU_sjuLA-00063-00041016-00041704 with Igbo Wikimedians User Group and the Wikimedia Indonesian User Group community tools development YMtdU_sjuLA-00064-00041704-00042224 should be encouraged, as they are the ones who know what they need. So the community knows what YMtdU_sjuLA-00065-00042224-00042768 they need to know where it's failing them and they know where it's going to - what is going to help YMtdU_sjuLA-00066-00042768-00043496 them. So whatever they need to promote the mission as well as whatever tools that are centered on YMtdU_sjuLA-00067-00043496-00044416 DEI should be something for the editors and the WMF to discuss and not just the WMF being the YMtdU_sjuLA-00068-00044416-00045056 one to make decisions on whatever tools they feel the editors need or the community needs because YMtdU_sjuLA-00069-00045056-00045640 we can't say that I one tool will fix it or it's not possible and we can't even say that once we've YMtdU_sjuLA-00070-00045640-00046288 invented one tool or once we've brought up one tool that we are done because just like health we YMtdU_sjuLA-00071-00046288-00046856 can say today I'm healthy and I'm done with health because tomorrow something else can one challenge YMtdU_sjuLA-00072-00046856-00047384 or the other can come up. So in my opinion I would still encourage greater collaborations YMtdU_sjuLA-00073-00047384-00048056 between editors and Wikimedia Foundation in tools development so that they will have tools that YMtdU_sjuLA-00074-00048144-00048760 are exactly what they want and which satisfied and satisfy their needs. Thank you. YMtdU_sjuLA-00075-00049040-00049536 The WMF's technical prioritization is out of sync with what editors want and need. I am YMtdU_sjuLA-00076-00049536-00049952 specifically running for the Board because it has no relevant technical expertise for Wikimedia's YMtdU_sjuLA-00077-00049952-00050480 unique requirements. How can the board perform oversight and sign off on complex technical YMtdU_sjuLA-00078-00050480-00051064 projects without even understanding the projects themselves? As i've mentioned before, we need to YMtdU_sjuLA-00079-00051064-00051584 move to a model of bottom-up prioritization where editors and staff on the ground are determining YMtdU_sjuLA-00080-00051584-00052112 which projects and issues get resourced and prioritized. This is a shift that will take YMtdU_sjuLA-00081-00052112-00052600 time to implement and it'll require work on the community's part to provide actionable feedback, YMtdU_sjuLA-00082-00052600-00053032 but I believe it is the best solution to fix our technical prioritization in the long run. YMtdU_sjuLA-00083-00053336-00053912 First of all let me start by saying that editors wants and needs are never ending and these wants YMtdU_sjuLA-00084-00053912-00054448 and needs differ from one editor to the next and some of them could even be conflicting in nature. YMtdU_sjuLA-00085-00054520-00055152 So the editors wants and needs are not a clearly defined monolith. That said the Wikimedia YMtdU_sjuLA-00086-00055152-00055688 Foundation's approach to answering the editor's requests has not been consistent over the years. YMtdU_sjuLA-00087-00055848-00056312 Whereas for years there appeared to be a disconnect between what people wanted and what YMtdU_sjuLA-00088-00056312-00056912 the Foundation was focusing, on excellent effort has been put in the last few years to bridge that YMtdU_sjuLA-00089-00056912-00057584 gap and to come to a better understanding of the various wants and needs of the different users. YMtdU_sjuLA-00090-00057720-00058152 One way in which the Foundation is trying to better address the technical needs of users YMtdU_sjuLA-00091-00058208-00058776 is the creation of the core experiences team. For not only are the needs of veteran editors YMtdU_sjuLA-00092-00058776-00059336 important to consider, but also the features and tools needed to grow the editor base by attracting YMtdU_sjuLA-00093-00059336-00059936 new talent. On the other hand the Foundation has found it difficult to implement some of the most YMtdU_sjuLA-00094-00059936-00060512 sought after changes. For example, dark mode has been on the community wish list for a while YMtdU_sjuLA-00095-00060512-00061136 and it's yet to be resolved. IP masking is another feature that the Foundation has been working to YMtdU_sjuLA-00096-00061136-00061767 implement it has decided to keep the users in the loop and to continually get feedback from them, YMtdU_sjuLA-00097-00061767-00062088 which is a very good strategy for aligning with the needs of the users. YMtdU_sjuLA-00098-00062264-00062672 While listening to the community and deciding on the priorities of what technical changes YMtdU_sjuLA-00099-00062672-00063216 to implement is certainly commendable, one must remember that the loudest voices do YMtdU_sjuLA-00100-00063216-00063879 not necessarily always have the most important requests. In fact underrepresented communities YMtdU_sjuLA-00101-00063879-00064455 such as people with disabilities or small language communities are disproportionately affected by not YMtdU_sjuLA-00102-00064455-00065064 having their needs met this could be due to a lack of knowledge to the language barrier YMtdU_sjuLA-00103-00065064-00065568 a difficulty in presenting the issue or to the lack of significance to the general population YMtdU_sjuLA-00104-00065720-00066128 all in all I believe that the foundation is moving on the right track and catering YMtdU_sjuLA-00105-00066128-00066688 to the needs of different stakeholders and should continue improving on its processes to prioritize YMtdU_sjuLA-00106-00066688-00067384 the changes to help retain existing editors to gain new ones and to strive for knowledge equity.

YaPWGBxxZ-0-00001-00000440-00000790 In many places in Moodle where you can type in text, YaPWGBxxZ-0-00002-00000791-00001000 you will see Moodle's purpose-built editor YaPWGBxxZ-0-00003-00001000-00001361 known as Atto. We see it here in a topic YaPWGBxxZ-0-00004-00001361-00001670 section summary. Many of the icons you'll YaPWGBxxZ-0-00005-00001670-00001882 know from word processing or other YaPWGBxxZ-0-00006-00001882-00002120 online programs but some may be YaPWGBxxZ-0-00007-00002120-00002453 unfamiliar. The link icon allows you to YaPWGBxxZ-0-00008-00002453-00002708 link text to an external website or an YaPWGBxxZ-0-00009-00002708-00003020 uploaded file. For instance, if we YaPWGBxxZ-0-00010-00003020-00003385 select the text BBC talk French and then YaPWGBxxZ-0-00011-00003385-00003661 click the link, a pop-up appears allowing YaPWGBxxZ-0-00012-00003661-00004048 us to paste in a URL or web address. The YaPWGBxxZ-0-00013-00004048-00004264 text will change colour but note that the YaPWGBxxZ-0-00014-00004264-00004610 link will only work once you've saved the changes. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00015-00004648-00004892 The media icon here offers YaPWGBxxZ-0-00016-00004892-00005105 many options for adding sound and video YaPWGBxxZ-0-00017-00005105-00005429 along with thumbnail images and subtitles. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00018-00005530-00005710 We explore adding media in a YaPWGBxxZ-0-00019-00005710-00005826 later video. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00020-00006310-00006628 The Atto editor allows you to drag and YaPWGBxxZ-0-00021-00006628-00006895 drop images directly onto the textbox. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00022-00006895-00007117 Something we look at in another video YaPWGBxxZ-0-00023-00007117-00007515 and it automatically saves what you type YaPWGBxxZ-0-00024-00007515-00007750 so if you have to leave it for a while YaPWGBxxZ-0-00025-00007750-00007945 or you accidentally go on to a different YaPWGBxxZ-0-00026-00007945-00008164 page or lose your connection, YaPWGBxxZ-0-00027-00008164-00008458 you don't have to start again. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00028-00008458-00008773 Two other useful icons are here: they YaPWGBxxZ-0-00029-00008773-00008998 help ensure your text is designed well YaPWGBxxZ-0-00030-00008998-00009229 to make it accessible for everyone on YaPWGBxxZ-0-00031-00009229-00009475 all devices including people with YaPWGBxxZ-0-00032-00009475-00009694 restricted sight who use screen readers. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00033-00009694-00010015 If you really want to use different YaPWGBxxZ-0-00034-00010015-00010243 colours and different font styles and you YaPWGBxxZ-0-00035-00010243-00010504 know about design, you can change your YaPWGBxxZ-0-00036-00010504-00010801 editor if your admin allows by going to YaPWGBxxZ-0-00037-00010801-00011074 the user menu top right, clicking on YaPWGBxxZ-0-00038-00011074-00011389 Preferences then editor preferences. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00039-00011389-00011752 Technical people might choose plain text YaPWGBxxZ-0-00040-00011752-00012124 if they want to add code, and TinyMCE is YaPWGBxxZ-0-00041-00012124-00012328 an alternative editor which many people YaPWGBxxZ-0-00042-00012328-00012637 know from other online software such as YaPWGBxxZ-0-00043-00012637-00012945 blogging software. If we select it you can YaPWGBxxZ-0-00044-00012945-00013269 see what it looks like, and again the YaPWGBxxZ-0-00045-00013269-00013552 hamburger icon top-left allows you to YaPWGBxxZ-0-00046-00013552-00013816 expand the toolbar for more options. YaPWGBxxZ-0-00047-00013816-00014179 However, TinyMCE does not have the same YaPWGBxxZ-0-00048-00014179-00014479 features as Atto and for that reason we YaPWGBxxZ-0-00049-00014479-00014825 suggest you use Moodle's own editor Atto. YcHpKJWWs5U-00000-00000494-00000961 I'm Cpl. Alexandra Guender. I'm an avionics technician, 6332. YcHpKJWWs5U-00001-00000996-00001243 Avionics, you know, my part and I love it, and that's my job, YcHpKJWWs5U-00002-00001244-00001562 but we're all a real integral part to the Harrier working. YcHpKJWWs5U-00003-00001562-00002039 This Harrier, you know, and any jet for that matter wouldn't work without all these systems, YcHpKJWWs5U-00004-00002039-00002220 and all of these systems go together to make a jet. YcHpKJWWs5U-00005-00002250-00002520 It's just not one system or one shop, you know, YcHpKJWWs5U-00006-00002532-00002862 powerline, airframes, avionics, C shop, ordinance, you know, YcHpKJWWs5U-00007-00002862-00003092 even maintenance patrol, who don't necessarily touch the jet. YcHpKJWWs5U-00008-00003092-00003415 We're all very important to making this jet fly safe for our pilots, YcHpKJWWs5U-00009-00003415-00003747 safe for the communities and also to, you know, help us out YcHpKJWWs5U-00010-00003747-00004136 when we're doing training events like this, or going overseas to try to help our ground units stay safe. YcHpKJWWs5U-00011-00004136-00004476 We're all very integral parts of making sure that this Harrier works. YeCWfCQPmgI-00000-00000000-00000200 Hello YeCWfCQPmgI-00001-00000200-00000400 I'm kuritsumi. YeCWfCQPmgI-00002-00000556-00000756 Today I'm opening a deluxe Beast Driver from YeCWfCQPmgI-00003-00000756-00000956 Kamen Rider Wizard. YeCWfCQPmgI-00004-00001052-00001476 Here is what the package looks like. YeCWfCQPmgI-00005-00001476-00001766 And this is the back of the package. YeCWfCQPmgI-00006-00001952-00002382 Here is what the inside looks like. YeCWfCQPmgI-00007-00002446-00002664 This is a Beast Wizard Ring. YeCWfCQPmgI-00008-00002934-00003134 Falcon Ring. YeCWfCQPmgI-00009-00003134-00003326 Chameleon Ring. YeCWfCQPmgI-00010-00003778-00004056 Let's transform!? YeCWfCQPmgI-00011-00004098-00004514 I think this ring goes to this side? YeCWfCQPmgI-00012-00004548-00004950 Maybe the other side. YeCWfCQPmgI-00013-00005648-00005848 And give a twist! YeCWfCQPmgI-00014-00009982-00010182 Chameleon! YeCWfCQPmgI-00015-00011546-00011746 And a special attack. YeCWfCQPmgI-00016-00012672-00013163 Alright, so I opened a Beast Driver today.

Thank you 00AZ_Qf6adA-00000-00000110-00000624 International experience is really an important part of my job accessing 00AZ_Qf6adA-00001-00000624-00000986 technologies from around the world and also learning how we can do a better job 00AZ_Qf6adA-00002-00000986-00001422 of designing our products to match the wide variety of environments that we 00AZ_Qf6adA-00003-00001422-00002018 encounter in many applications around the world basically we're looking 00AZ_Qf6adA-00004-00002018-00002450 for engineers that are bright or curious who are well founded in the basics which 00AZ_Qf6adA-00005-00002450-00003006 they can certainly get at Purdue and we count on Purdue delivery but also have 00AZ_Qf6adA-00006-00003006-00003587 the ability to work in teams to ability to communicate and as the topic of the 00AZ_Qf6adA-00007-00003587-00004121 conversation today goes along I really have international experience and the 00AZ_Qf6adA-00008-00004121-00004623 ability to value and engage people from different cultures from around the world 00AZ_Qf6adA-00009-00004623-00005144 a couple of things that have changed in engineering is we're certainly more 00AZ_Qf6adA-00010-00005144-00005778 international in scope we're more interdisciplinary in scope both of those 00AZ_Qf6adA-00011-00005778-00006203 require communication skills that are different than in the past people have 00AZ_Qf6adA-00012-00006203-00006645 to be able to accept ideas from other folks to understand the context that 00AZ_Qf6adA-00013-00006645-00007014 they're coming from one thing that has not changed about engineering is 00AZ_Qf6adA-00014-00007014-00007445 engineering is still a social exercise so we have to be able to work in teams 00AZ_Qf6adA-00015-00007445-00007820 we have to understand our customers so that we can deliver products to them 00AZ_Qf6adA-00016-00007820-00008507 that they can use very effectively will value in all their applications I think 00AZ_Qf6adA-00017-00008507-00008904 from in the context of international experience there are several things 00AZ_Qf6adA-00018-00008904-00009311 students can do one is just take a foreign language any foreign language it 00AZ_Qf6adA-00019-00009311-00009786 will expose them to different cultures it will also expose them to some of the 00AZ_Qf6adA-00020-00009786-00010196 issues other people have as they're trying to communicate with us in English 00AZ_Qf6adA-00021-00010196-00010628 so it develops that sensitivity and the ability to communicate people in their 00AZ_Qf6adA-00022-00010628-00011093 in their own language I think just getting out there taking the opportunity 00AZ_Qf6adA-00023-00011093-00011589 to travel abroad and taking opportunities that Purdue will offer for 00AZ_Qf6adA-00024-00011589-00011975 study abroad well one of those programs that they could take advantage obviously 00AZ_Qf6adA-00025-00011975-00012422 gear program in mechanical engineering that has connections with Carlsberg 00AZ_Qf6adA-00026-00012422-00013005 Germany with Shanghai and China and Mumbai and India so that students can go 00AZ_Qf6adA-00027-00013005-00013369 there to teach and to do projects and to meet students in those 00AZ_Qf6adA-00028-00013369-00013861 locations so anything that they can do to broaden their exposure even learning 00AZ_Qf6adA-00029-00013861-00014266 from international students at Purdue which is a wonderful environment to meet 00AZ_Qf6adA-00030-00014266-00014629 people from other countries and to really learn about their experiences and

03YzI-8yCZI-00001-00001471-00001895 The Recovery Month observance held each September celebrates 03YzI-8yCZI-00002-00001895-00002298 people in recovery, raises our awareness and understanding of 03YzI-8yCZI-00003-00002298-00002712 mental and substance use disorders, and recognizes those 03YzI-8yCZI-00004-00002712-00003016 who work in the field of behavioral health. 03YzI-8yCZI-00005-00003016-00003353 The journey of recovery is a shared experience. 03YzI-8yCZI-00006-00003353-00003670 Those struggling with mental and substance use disorders 03YzI-8yCZI-00007-00003670-00003903 share their stories with each other and 03YzI-8yCZI-00008-00003903-00004194 give each other encouragement. 03YzI-8yCZI-00009-00004194-00004424 The stories of recovery are the stories of 03YzI-8yCZI-00010-00004424-00004688 our family members, our friends, and 03YzI-8yCZI-00011-00004688-00005001 the people we meet every day in our communities. 03YzI-8yCZI-00012-00005001-00005382 As they succeed in living self-directed lives and 03YzI-8yCZI-00013-00005382-00005558 achieving their full potential, 03YzI-8yCZI-00014-00005558-00005982 we see the benefits of recovery not only for the individual, 03YzI-8yCZI-00015-00005982-00006373 but for their family, friends, and community. 03YzI-8yCZI-00016-00006373-00006683 As we hear their stories, we learn that while 03YzI-8yCZI-00017-00006683-00007030 the journey of recovery follows many different pathways, 03YzI-8yCZI-00018-00007030-00007427 progress on every one of those pathways depends on 03YzI-8yCZI-00019-00007427-00007931 relationships marked by care, support, and respect. 03YzI-8yCZI-00020-00007931-00008355 Prevention works, treatment is effective, and 03YzI-8yCZI-00021-00008355-00008752 people can - and do - recover from these conditions. 04BBRcPNNjE-00000-00000296-00000604 Childhood can be hard. 04BBRcPNNjE-00001-00000604-00000859 They say your

0669-cN2mWc-00053-00019201-00019577 But the best thing is not the recognition 0669-cN2mWc-00054-00019577-00019998 is that now I have the skills, I feel I have the skills 0669-cN2mWc-00055-00019998-00020307 and I can truly help eople 0669-cN2mWc-00056-00020307-00020823 achieving what they want to achieve in their running, but not just in the running 0669-cN2mWc-00057-00020823-00021163 also in the movement because of course 0669-cN2mWc-00058-00021163-00021689 everybody wants to run better, but to run better you have to be able to move better 0669-cN2mWc-00059-00021696-00022018 so this helps not only your running performance 0669-cN2mWc-00060-00022018-00022266 but in your everyday performance. 0669-cN2mWc-00061-00022268-00022466 Before being a runner 0669-cN2mWc-00062-00022468-00022760 we are a football player or a golf player or 0669-cN2mWc-00063-00022760-00023173 whatever your sport is, you are a person, a human 0669-cN2mWc-00064-00023173-00023479 and 80% of the movement we do 0669-cN2mWc-00065-00023479-00023935 in each sport is first humans moment so you have to be able 0669-cN2mWc-00066-00023935-00024248 to do humans moment before you go and do 0669-cN2mWc-00067-00024248-00024557 your specific sport which is just 20% of 0669-cN2mWc-00068-00024557-00024679 movement you do. 07pGxIyr9_u-00000-00000176-00000527 Johanna Lampe:
Great, good afternoon, and thanks much, Cindy, and also many thanks to 07pGxIyr9_u-00001-00000527-00000950 Lita and the organizing committee for the opportunity to participate in this meeting. 07pGxIyr9_u-00002-00000950-00001328 It really has been fantastic. 07pGxIyr9_u-00003-00001328-00001743 By way of introduction, my background is in nutrition, so I'm going to take more of a 07pGxIyr9_u-00004-00001743-00002506 nutrition-centric view of our discussion about relationships between the gut microbial community 07pGxIyr9_u-00005-00002506-00003127 and diet. And also, before I start, I'd also like to acknowledge my colleague Meredith 07pGxIyr9_u-00006-00003127-00003585 Hullar, who's a microbial ecologist, who's been working with us for a number of years 07pGxIyr9_u-00007-00003585-00004203 now, who really has helped in our group beginning to think about some of the interactions and 07pGxIyr9_u-00008-00004203-00004724 the issues with regards to these relationships. 07pGxIyr9_u-00009-00004724-00005337 So from a nutritional standpoint, when we think about health and risk of disease, often 07pGxIyr9_u-00010-00005337-00006237 this is the very broad and general paradigm, is that aspects of diet are influencing risk 07pGxIyr9_u-00011-00006237-00006731 of disease. And in many cases, we focus primarily on a number of chronic diseases that we're 07pGxIyr9_u-00012-00006731-00007195 faced with from a public health standpoint. And we can think about this, not only from 07pGxIyr9_u-00013-00007195-00007931 the standpoint of fuel availability, which certainly, in the last number of years, has 07pGxIyr9_u-00014-00007931-00008673 come to the fore front with our concerns over adiposity and the implications of our increase 07pGxIyr9_u-00015-00008673-00009364 in obesity in the Western world, but also the aspect of other dietary constituents, 07pGxIyr9_u-00016-00009364-00009920 whether they be recognized as central nutrients, or a whole host of other components of diet 07pGxIyr9_u-00017-00009920-00010348 that can influence various aspects of disease risk. 07pGxIyr9_u-00018-00010348-00010903 In the context of our discussion today, then, we're really thinking about the gut microbial 07pGxIyr9_u-00019-00010903-00011490 community as a potential modifier of effective diet. Certainly we've heard a lot of discussion 07pGxIyr9_u-00020-00011490-00012384 about how various microbes can have direct effects on tissues and on the human system, 07pGxIyr9_u-00021-00012384-00013144 but also the potential for the gut microbial community to influence fuel availability and 07pGxIyr9_u-00022-00013144-00013818 modulation of signaling that affects energy balance, but also the impact of the gut microbes 07pGxIyr9_u-00023-00013818-00014496 on various other dietary constituents. So I'll really focus on this piece today. We've 07pGxIyr9_u-00024-00014496-00014950 also heard, in a number of presentations, the capacity for diet to directly affect the 07pGxIyr9_u-00025-00014950-00015531 gut microbial community. So there's always that back-and-forth connection. 07pGxIyr9_u-00026-00015531-00016081 So as far as discussion today, I'd like to address a couple of questions in a very broad 07pGxIyr9_u-00027-00016081-00016576 sense. And I think this is really more to bring us back to thinking about the complexity 07pGxIyr9_u-00028-00016576-00017249 of studying the gut microbial community and the various other aspects of exposures in 07pGxIyr9_u-00029-00017249-00017871 humans or other animals, and how this may impact on the community structure. 07pGxIyr9_u-00030-00017871-00018393 So, first of all, what are the gut microbes doing with our food? What is the effect of 07pGxIyr9_u-00031-00018393-00019143 the gut microbiome on host dietary exposures, particularly in the context of a lot of population-based 07pGxIyr9_u-00032-00019143-00019656 studies, where we often rely heavily on a food frequency questionnaire to try to identify 07pGxIyr9_u-00033-00019656-00020340 dietary exposure. But to what extent is that really capturing what's going on in vivo? 07pGxIyr9_u-00034-00020340-00020834 And how might this influence disease risk in the cases where we have some examples of 07pGxIyr9_u-00035-00020834-00021438 this? So I really -- certainly, this is very broad. It's also capturing a couple of examples, 07pGxIyr9_u-00036-00021438-00021981 by no means comprehensive. And many of you can bring up addition examples that we can 07pGxIyr9_u-00037-00021981-00022540 discuss, too. And then I'll finish with gaps, needs, and challenges. 07pGxIyr9_u-00038-00022540-00023080 So there's no question about it, the human diet is extremely complex, which means, when 07pGxIyr9_u-00039-00023080-00023498 we come to think about it, we're not only dealing with exposure to thousands of compounds 07pGxIyr9_u-00040-00023498-00024137 on a daily basis, but also how we handle food, whether it be processing in a factory, whether 07pGxIyr9_u-00041-00024137-00024848 it be how we are preparing a meal in the kitchen. But various aspects of this can affect structure 07pGxIyr9_u-00042-00024848-00025576 and particle size, bioavailability of compounds to the host. And with reduced bioavailability 07pGxIyr9_u-00043-00025576-00026372 of compounds to the host, what you're actually, likely seeing is bioavailability of substrates 07pGxIyr9_u-00044-00026372-00026672 to the microbiome. 07pGxIyr9_u-00045-00026672-00027248 Tend to think about this with regards to gut microbial metabolism designed to make the 07pGxIyr9_u-00046-00027248-00028011 most of the situation. And in the context of flow of food through the gastrointestinal 07pGxIyr9_u-00047-00028011-00028656 tract, really first line of handling is through human digestion. And often, when we go back 07pGxIyr9_u-00048-00028656-00029356 to the old nutrition and medical textbooks, we're really focusing only on what we can 07pGxIyr9_u-00049-00029356-00029925 handle in the way of enzymatic reactions that allow for availability of nutrients and energy 07pGxIyr9_u-00050-00029925-00030114 sources for the human. 07pGxIyr9_u-00051-00030114-00030582 But there are a whole host of components. One could consider the indigestible -- that 07pGxIyr9_u-00052-00030582-00031445 is the dietary fiber we've heard about; resistance starch that's not easily metabolized by humans; 07pGxIyr9_u-00053-00031445-00032045 as well as a number of other components, what we might call the leftovers, which are other 07pGxIyr9_u-00054-00032045-00032602 bits that we cannot handle, either because from structural standpoint they are encased 07pGxIyr9_u-00055-00032602-00033452 in a non-digestible coding, as, for example, in seeds, some nuts, depending how well you 07pGxIyr9_u-00056-00033452-00033933 chew your large chunks of meat, availability of protein; all these things have then become 07pGxIyr9_u-00057-00033933-00034722 part of the bacterial substrate mix. And really a lot of the reactions that we come to consider 07pGxIyr9_u-00058-00034722-00035218 in relation to gut microbial metabolism are designed to handle these fermentation. We've 07pGxIyr9_u-00059-00035218-00036043 heard about reduction of nitrates and sulfates, esterification, aromatic fission, et cetera, 07pGxIyr9_u-00060-00036043-00036337 that come into play. 07pGxIyr9_u-00061-00036337-00037186 When we look at this in relation to the contribution of genes to -- that are related to metabolic 07pGxIyr9_u-00062-00037186-00037772 pathways, a good majority of these are focused on carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, 07pGxIyr9_u-00063-00037772-00038373 as well as xenobiotic degradation, which Pete talked a little bit about in relation -- well, 07pGxIyr9_u-00064-00038373-00038819 quite a bit, in relation to drugs. But when we think about xenobiotics from the dietary 07pGxIyr9_u-00065-00038819-00039308 standpoint, we're also talking about a whole host of other compounds, such as many of the 07pGxIyr9_u-00066-00039308-00040000 plant compounds that, from a human standpoint, we also view as xenobiotic, but are also major 07pGxIyr9_u-00067-00040000-00040586 substrates for gut microbes, as well as many pyrolysis products that come with how we prepare 07pGxIyr9_u-00068-00040586-00040852 food by cooking. 07pGxIyr9_u-00069-00040852-00041314 So we've heard a lot already about production of short-chain fatty acids in relation to 07pGxIyr9_u-00070-00041314-00041949 carbohydrate fermentation. So I'm really not going to spend much time on this, beyond just 07pGxIyr9_u-00071-00041949-00042562 to remind ourselves that acetate, propionate, and butyrate, besides serving as energy sources 07pGxIyr9_u-00072-00042562-00043096 both for the colonic epithelium in the case of butyrate, as well as capacity for lipogenesis 07pGxIyr9_u-00073-00043096-00043746 and gluconeogenesis for acetate and propionate, but they also -- the importance of these compounds 07pGxIyr9_u-00074-00043746-00044456 as signaling molecules: butyrate acting as a histone deacetylase inhibitor in the colonic 07pGxIyr9_u-00075-00044456-00045129 epithelium, and therefore having effects on epigenetic modulation of apoptosis and proliferation, 07pGxIyr9_u-00076-00045129-00046081 as well as signaling further systematically, as we heard from Gary, the potential to have 07pGxIyr9_u-00077-00046081-00046625 even an impact in the lung. So I think this is an area of -- that we'll continue to hear 07pGxIyr9_u-00078-00046625-00046868 a lot about. 07pGxIyr9_u-00079-00046868-00047418 Looking at microbial metabolism of proteins and amino acids, again, this is a range of 07pGxIyr9_u-00080-00047418-00048018 different types of compounds from the standpoint of substrates. And it -- really depending 07pGxIyr9_u-00081-00048018-00048759 on the type of amino acid, when it's generating a variety of different products, the bacteria 07pGxIyr9_u-00082-00048759-00049528 are certainly in the context of the aromatic amino acids, a range of phenols and indoles. 07pGxIyr9_u-00083-00049528-00049962 Sulfur amino acids can produce a whole host of different sulfur compounds. I'll talk a 07pGxIyr9_u-00084-00049962-00050602 little bit more about that in a minute. And the rest of the other amino acids can be deaminated 07pGxIyr9_u-00085-00050602-00051226 or decarboxylated to contribute to ammonia production amines, as well as, can also be 07pGxIyr9_u-00086-00051226-00051808 deaminated and fermented additionally to produce short-chain fatty acids. And in the case of 07pGxIyr9_u-00087-00051808-00052721 the branch-chain amino acids, to produce branch-chain -- short-chain -- branch-chain fatty acids, 07pGxIyr9_u-00088-00052721-00053034 excuse me. 07pGxIyr9_u-00089-00053034-00053632 So by way of example, in the context of the aromatic amino acid metabolism, L-Tryptophan 07pGxIyr9_u-00090-00053632-00054611 can be converted to indole and pyruvate. And Poster Number 18 has also another nice example 07pGxIyr9_u-00091-00054611-00055177 of an additional conversion of tryptophan to indole pyruvate, which is of concern in 07pGxIyr9_u-00092-00055177-00055711 relation to a metabolite that's been identified with autism, if you're interested in some 07pGxIyr9_u-00093-00055711-00056261 more metabolic pieces of that. But in the case of production of indole, it has received 07pGxIyr9_u-00094-00056261-00056902 some attention, both from the standpoint that it's present both in the human and rodent 07pGxIyr9_u-00095-00056902-00057564 gut lumen at low millimolar concentrations, and has been shown to modulate expression 07pGxIyr9_u-00096-00057564-00058265 of both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes, typically showing increases in the anti-inflammatory 07pGxIyr9_u-00097-00058265-00058844 genes and down-regulation of the pro-inflammatory genes, as well as strengthening some of the 07pGxIyr9_u-00098-00058844-00059630 epithelial cell barrier, and decreasing pathogen colonization. So I think this is just one 07pGxIyr9_u-00099-00059630-00060241 example, but it really points out the importance of so many of these small molecules, many 07pGxIyr9_u-00100-00060241-00061039 of which we probably don't even begin to understand their potential to impact on the host. 07pGxIyr9_u-00101-00061039-00061840 Another amino acid -- product of amino acid metabolism, in the case of sulfur amino acids, 07pGxIyr9_u-00102-00061840-00062382 is generation of hydrogen sulfide. This has been shown to be toxic to colonic sites both 07pGxIyr9_u-00103-00062382-00062933 in in vitro and in vivo models, and can contribute to inflammation, and therefore, is of concern 07pGxIyr9_u-00104-00062933-00063637 in relation to ulcerative colitis and colon cancer. And from the standpoint of handling 07pGxIyr9_u-00105-00063637-00064311 biogut bacteria, hydrogen sulfide can be generated both by fermentation of sulfur containing 07pGxIyr9_u-00106-00064311-00065086 amino acids, but also the action of the sulfate-reducing bacteria on inorganic sulfates; sp sulfate 07pGxIyr9_u-00107-00065086-00065686 and sulfites, many of which are used as preservatives in food, and also just present in foods in 07pGxIyr9_u-00108-00065686-00066108 general. So, again, another source there. 07pGxIyr9_u-00109-00066108-00066500 Just by way of an example, people have been saying today, it's often really hard to do 07pGxIyr9_u-00110-00066500-00067048 studies in humans, but one can do dietary interventions. And although we aren't necessarily 07pGxIyr9_u-00111-00067048-00067521 looking at who gets ulcerative colitis at the end, this is an example of a controlled 07pGxIyr9_u-00112-00067521-00068378 feeding study, in which case volunteers were sequestered in a metabolic ward, participated 07pGxIyr9_u-00113-00068378-00069279 in five different treatments of 10 days each of meat supplementation in a controlled diet. 07pGxIyr9_u-00114-00069279-00069956 And they were looking at fecal sulfate concentrations; they also looked at urinary sulfate excretion 07pGxIyr9_u-00115-00069956-00070362 in relation to these treatments. And as you can see, as you increase the amount of meat 07pGxIyr9_u-00116-00070362-00071015 in the diet, you see increases in fecal sulfate concentrations. So the -- human studies such 07pGxIyr9_u-00117-00071015-00071618 as these are small but they can often add important connecting bits of information in 07pGxIyr9_u-00118-00071618-00072356 relation to the impact of these compounds in human health and exposure to them. 07pGxIyr9_u-00119-00072356-00072800 Another story that's received quite a bit of attention in the last couple of years is 07pGxIyr9_u-00120-00072800-00073456 the production of trimethylamine oxide, which comes from the bacterial conversion of choline 07pGxIyr9_u-00121-00073456-00073988 to trimethylamine. Choline is derived from phosphatidylcholine, or lecithin, that is 07pGxIyr9_u-00122-00073988-00074500 a good part of the diet, particularly if you include meat products, and you've been eating 07pGxIyr9_u-00123-00074500-00075171 the hard-boiled eggs the last couple of mornings at breakfast. You've been receiving your phosphatidylcholine 07pGxIyr9_u-00124-00075171-00076142 challenge. And choline is released upon lipolysis in the gut; it undergoes metabolism by gut 07pGxIyr9_u-00125-00076142-00076974 microbes to trimethylamine, is absorbed, further metabolized by hepatic flavin mono-oxygenases, 07pGxIyr9_u-00126-00076974-00077566 and it's converted to trimethylamine oxide, which has been shown in animal models to be 07pGxIyr9_u-00127-00077566-00078227 atherosclerotic, and I'll show you a little data in a minute about potential risks in 07pGxIyr9_u-00128-00078227-00078495 humans. 07pGxIyr9_u-00129-00078495-00078985 A lot of work has been done in animal models already, but in the context of, again, a human 07pGxIyr9_u-00130-00078985-00079791 study, with dosing of 40 individuals with those phosphatidylcholine challenge, both 07pGxIyr9_u-00131-00079791-00080637 as an egg source as well as a deuterated phosphatidylcholine, they can show, you see increases in TMAO as 07pGxIyr9_u-00132-00080637-00081206 a result of the intervention. Provide a broad spec antibiotic: could show decreases as a 07pGxIyr9_u-00133-00081206-00081904 result, and then a reappearance of the TMAO upon withdrawal of the antibiotic, again, 07pGxIyr9_u-00134-00081904-00082564 showing the relationship between bacterial production of the trimethylamine and subsequent 07pGxIyr9_u-00135-00082564-00082752 TMAO. 07pGxIyr9_u-00136-00082752-00083531 As part of this study, they also evaluated prospectively the relationship between plasma 07pGxIyr9_u-00137-00083531-00084205 TMAO concentrations in 4,000 individuals who were then followed for three years for cardiovascular 07pGxIyr9_u-00138-00084205-00084955 events. And showed significant differences among quartiles of plasma TMAO concentrations 07pGxIyr9_u-00139-00084955-00085585 in relation to risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death, with certainly the highest 07pGxIyr9_u-00140-00085585-00086069 risk among those individuals in the highest quartile, again, showing this relationship 07pGxIyr9_u-00141-00086069-00086872 of production of a plasma component in relation to disease outcome. 07pGxIyr9_u-00142-00086872-00087580 So the other piece of metabolism that is a little near and dear to my heart is in the 07pGxIyr9_u-00143-00087580-00088196 area of phytochemicals. And there's an estimate that we are exposed to some 20,000 different 07pGxIyr9_u-00144-00088196-00088788 phytochemicals over the span of about 70 different plant foods. And many of these compounds are 07pGxIyr9_u-00145-00088788-00089398 also handled by gut microbes, certainly a lot of the phenolics, the terpenoids, which 07pGxIyr9_u-00146-00089398-00090217 include the carotenoids, various sulfur containing compounds, and the glucosinolates and indoles 07pGxIyr9_u-00147-00090217-00090327 also. 07pGxIyr9_u-00148-00090327-00091011 So what I'll do in the next few minutes is focus, as by way of example, on the glucosinolates 07pGxIyr9_u-00149-00091011-00091513 and the isoindoles. But certainly there are many other examples of the impact of gut microbes 07pGxIyr9_u-00150-00091513-00092098 on exposure to these compounds and to their metabolites. 07pGxIyr9_u-00151-00092098-00092653 First example is in relation to production of isothiocyanates from glucosinolates in 07pGxIyr9_u-00152-00092653-00093341 the area of cancer prevention. Cruciferous vegetable, that is the broccoli containing 07pGxIyr9_u-00153-00093341-00094005 -- or broccoli family, cabbage family, veggies, are major source of these in the human diet. 07pGxIyr9_u-00154-00094005-00094666 And as they exist in the plants, they are -- have a glucose moiety bound to them, aptly 07pGxIyr9_u-00155-00094666-00095452 named glucosinolates. And these are not bioactive in this form, but their release of the glucose 07pGxIyr9_u-00156-00095452-00096027 moiety to production of the isothiocyanate is production of the bioactive component that's 07pGxIyr9_u-00157-00096027-00096586 been shown to be important with regards to reduced carcinogenesis in animal models, as 07pGxIyr9_u-00158-00096586-00097466 well as associated with lower risk of several common cancers in human epidemiologic studies. 07pGxIyr9_u-00159-00097466-00098281 Now, as the compound exists, there is an enzyme in cruciferous vegetables that can cleave 07pGxIyr9_u-00160-00098281-00098780 this glucose moiety to release the isothiocyanate. And the thought is there that the primary 07pGxIyr9_u-00161-00098780-00099548 reason the plant does this is in the face of a threat -- or not a threat, but having 07pGxIyr9_u-00162-00099548-00100249 been chomped on or chewed that it actually releases the isothiocyanate, which has a bitter 07pGxIyr9_u-00163-00100249-00101181 and pungent feel in the mouth, and will cause the insect or animal to stop consuming it. 07pGxIyr9_u-00164-00101181-00101663 In most cases, in humans, we actually don't consume cruciferous vegetables raw, and that 07pGxIyr9_u-00165-00101663-00102272 means that the myrosinase is denatured as a result of cooking. But our gut bacteria, 07pGxIyr9_u-00166-00102272-00102815 many of which contain thioglucosidases, can also carry out this reaction and allow for 07pGxIyr9_u-00167-00102815-00102990 release of isothiocyanates. 07pGxIyr9_u-00168-00102990-00103878 And I think this is a nice example of the difference in exposure to isothiocyanates 07pGxIyr9_u-00169-00103878-00104404 across a group of individuals. This is work of Tom Kensler's from a number of years ago. 07pGxIyr9_u-00170-00104404-00105068 But they were conducting an intervention trial with glucosinolate supplement, glucoraphanin, 07pGxIyr9_u-00171-00105068-00105709 which is the glucosinolate precursor of sulforaphane. And we're looking at the impact on reducing 07pGxIyr9_u-00172-00105709-00106613 aflatoxin DNA adducts in a population in China. As you can see here, the urinary isothiocyanate 07pGxIyr9_u-00173-00106613-00107444 recovery ranged from 1 to 45 percent of the dose administered when they measured the metabolites 07pGxIyr9_u-00174-00107444-00107981 in urine, suggesting that the availability of these compounds varies considerably across 07pGxIyr9_u-00175-00107981-00108660 individuals. And this -- as you increase recovery in the urine, you see a decrease in DNA adduct 07pGxIyr9_u-00176-00108660-00109204 formation, suggesting that those exposed to more may be benefited more from the impact 07pGxIyr9_u-00177-00109204-00109310 of the isothiocyanate. 07pGxIyr9_u-00178-00109310-00110199 We were interested in whether -- to what extent we could understand the relationship between 07pGxIyr9_u-00179-00110199-00110826 these urinary measures of phenotype, as far as recovery of isothiocyanates in relation 07pGxIyr9_u-00180-00110826-00111648 to gut microbial activity. And Fay Li in our group recruited a group of individuals, challenged 07pGxIyr9_u-00181-00111648-00112377 them with a dose of cooked broccoli, so, i.e., glucosinolate-rich but no myrosinase to cleave 07pGxIyr9_u-00182-00112377-00113161 the isothiocyanate, and could recover between 1 to 28 percent of the isothiocyanate in urine. 07pGxIyr9_u-00183-00113161-00114057 You can see there is quite a range in the distribution. And then took the high and low 07pGxIyr9_u-00184-00114057-00115111 urinary ITC excreters and incubated fecal bacteria from their stool samples with glucoraphanin. 07pGxIyr9_u-00185-00115111-00115789 And looked at rate of decrease in relation -- of glucoraphanin in relation to either 07pGxIyr9_u-00186-00115789-00116635 a high excreter in yellow or a low excreter in blue. And suggesting that those individuals 07pGxIyr9_u-00187-00116635-00117474 who are excreting more isothiocyanates are typically more likely to break down the glucoraphanin, 07pGxIyr9_u-00188-00117474-00117858 which allows for release and absorption. 07pGxIyr9_u-00189-00117858-00118578 Another example of phytochemicals that are heavily metabolized by gut microbes are the 07pGxIyr9_u-00190-00118578-00119134 soy isoflavones. These have been of interest for a number of decades now in relation to 07pGxIyr9_u-00191-00119134-00119715 their weak estrogenic properties, capacity to bind to the estrogen receptors, both alpha 07pGxIyr9_u-00192-00119715-00120441 and beta, and illicit either weak estrogenic responses or to have anti-estrogenic effect. 07pGxIyr9_u-00193-00120441-00121114 In the context of this story, the soy isoflavone daidzein is handled by gut microbes to convert 07pGxIyr9_u-00194-00121114-00121903 two major metabolites, equol and O-desmethylangolensin, or ODMA. What we find in most populations, 07pGxIyr9_u-00195-00121903-00122666 that most individuals have got microbes that can carry out this reaction. And if you measure 07pGxIyr9_u-00196-00122666-00123384 urinary ODMA levels in a population, 80 to 90 percent of individuals will have substantial 07pGxIyr9_u-00197-00123384-00124264 ODMA excretion. And whereas the equol really varies, one, across populations, and certainly 07pGxIyr9_u-00198-00124264-00124910 is a lot lower in production. And it's not necessarily that either you're an ODMA producer 07pGxIyr9_u-00199-00124910-00125677 or an equol producer; typically, ODMA producers can be equol producers or vice versa. 07pGxIyr9_u-00200-00125677-00126402 This just shows that if you give individuals a soy challenge containing daidzein, you can 07pGxIyr9_u-00201-00126402-00127067 see a range of excretion; this is 24-hour urinary excretion. But this is a tenfold jump 07pGxIyr9_u-00202-00127067-00127542 between those individuals who really aren't excreting any. In this case, what we're measuring 07pGxIyr9_u-00203-00127542-00128315 here is likely what's coming from other animal sources of equol coming from milk and meat 07pGxIyr9_u-00204-00128315-00128933 sources of ruminants compared to what you seek produced by the humans. 07pGxIyr9_u-00205-00128933-00129424 The reason people have been interested in this is that in a number of the soy intervention 07pGxIyr9_u-00206-00129424-00130104 studies, there are have been identified differences in response between those of an equol-producing 07pGxIyr9_u-00207-00130104-00130804 capacity. And many of these relate to sex hormone effects, either in relation to menstrual 07pGxIyr9_u-00208-00130804-00131720 cycle or steroid hormone concentrations, bone mineral densities, as well as some differential 07pGxIyr9_u-00209-00131720-00132436 gene expression that is estrogen receptor driven in peripheral lymphocytes. And then 07pGxIyr9_u-00210-00132436-00133062 also similarly, some observation studies that show differences. But these are certainly 07pGxIyr9_u-00211-00133062-00134109 not always shown in all studies. There are -- certainly are in all studies too, but... 07pGxIyr9_u-00212-00134109-00134651 So what gut microbes are producing equol? There have been a number of attempts to identify 07pGxIyr9_u-00213-00134651-00135319 these, and there's a number of specific bacteria that have been shown to be able to convert 07pGxIyr9_u-00214-00135319-00136097 daidzein to equol listed here. But often, when you go looking by QPCR for some of these 07pGxIyr9_u-00215-00136097-00136726 specifically in human stool samples, you don't necessarily find them. There are also some 07pGxIyr9_u-00216-00136726-00137313 suggestions that it may -- some individuals may rely on a consortium of bacteria: some 07pGxIyr9_u-00217-00137313-00137832 that can carry out the first part of the reaction, and some that carry out the second. So I think 07pGxIyr9_u-00218-00137832-00138332 this sort of is an indication of the importance of being able to come to a more functional 07pGxIyr9_u-00219-00138332-00138911 approach to be able to characterize some of these activities, because we're going to find, 07pGxIyr9_u-00220-00138911-00139457 for many of these reactions, that there are a whole host of bacteria that could do this. 07pGxIyr9_u-00221-00139457-00140325 But -- and they're not necessarily all within the same group, so I think that's an important 07pGxIyr9_u-00222-00140325-00140425 piece. 07pGxIyr9_u-00223-00140425-00141086 So just to summarize the presentation. I think -- I hope I've shown that microbial metabolism 07pGxIyr9_u-00224-00141086-00141644 can modify a variety of different dietary components; that the differences in the gut 07pGxIyr9_u-00225-00141644-00142323 microbial community capacity to handle substrates can be detected using metabolic phenotypes, 07pGxIyr9_u-00226-00142323-00142959 even on a more gross level of monitoring urinary metabolites, and certainly as we move into 07pGxIyr9_u-00227-00142959-00143769 using the metabolomics approaches, can get a wide range of ways to evaluate this. 07pGxIyr9_u-00228-00143769-00144326 I think one of the things that is always a good reminder is that diet, as consumed, it 07pGxIyr9_u-00229-00144326-00145037 is not necessarily that experienced by the host. So from the standpoint of the components, 07pGxIyr9_u-00230-00145037-00145480 the metabolites produced by the bacteria, these may be, in some cases, quite different 07pGxIyr9_u-00231-00145480-00146183 from those that went into your mouth. And lastly, I think the gut microbiome really 07pGxIyr9_u-00232-00146183-00146719 needs to be considered in the context of the host diet in order for us to best understand 07pGxIyr9_u-00233-00146719-00147428 its impact on both host metabolism as well as its own, and on disease risk. 07pGxIyr9_u-00234-00147428-00148092 In relation to some of the gaps, needs, and challenges, coming at this from a very -- sort 07pGxIyr9_u-00235-00148092-00148618 of the nutritional angle, and it's interesting to see how these are sort of recapitulating 07pGxIyr9_u-00236-00148618-00149119 across many of our presentations in the last two days, I think one of our big challenges 07pGxIyr9_u-00237-00149119-00149675 certainly is trying to test the causality of gut microbiome and contribution to health 07pGxIyr9_u-00238-00149675-00150389 and disease, and certainly in the context of diet. And in that regard, I think we have 07pGxIyr9_u-00239-00150389-00150991 a strong need for a number of different approaches to this, both from the standpoint of the prospective 07pGxIyr9_u-00240-00150991-00151722 cohorts that allow us to follow individuals for extended periods of time with good measure 07pGxIyr9_u-00241-00151722-00152366 of exposure, whether it be diet or otherwise, as well as capacity to sample and characterize 07pGxIyr9_u-00242-00152366-00152794 the gut microbiome. I think there's a place for well-controlled dietary interventions 07pGxIyr9_u-00243-00152794-00153421 to try to get at some of the relationships for inter-individual variation. And finding 07pGxIyr9_u-00244-00153421-00153959 ways to harness these and make the most of them, I think, is important. And certainly, 07pGxIyr9_u-00245-00153959-00154304 the model systems are going to be critical as there are some many things that we certainly 07pGxIyr9_u-00246-00154304-00154600 can't do in humans. 07pGxIyr9_u-00247-00154600-00155328 And lastly, on a more broader level, I think, to reiterate Vince's comment this morning, 07pGxIyr9_u-00248-00155328-00155880 really trying to facilitate transdisciplinary research to allow for the breadth and depth 07pGxIyr9_u-00249-00155880-00156503 of knowledge that we need in this area, not only from the standpoint of a funding situation, 07pGxIyr9_u-00250-00156503-00157239 but certainly from the support of our institutions to be able to allow for this cross-fertilization. 07pGxIyr9_u-00251-00157239-00158135 And big plug for methods for assessing composite functionality of the gut microbial community, 07pGxIyr9_u-00252-00158135-00158701 and being able to integrate the structure and functional relationships. And lastly, 07pGxIyr9_u-00253-00158701-00159244 having the computational methods to integrate multiple omics platforms, and I think we've 07pGxIyr9_u-00254-00159244-00159423 heard that one before. 07pGxIyr9_u-00255-00159423-00160111 So lastly, just want to thank the members of my group, as well as collaborators at the 07pGxIyr9_u-00256-00160111-00160730 Hutch and University of Washington, Texas A&M University with collaboration with Rob 07pGxIyr9_u-00257-00160730-00161574 Chapkin project, and long-term collaborations. And lastly, to thank NCI for the support over 07pGxIyr9_u-00258-00161574-00161886 the years. Thank you. 07pGxIyr9_u-00259-00161886-00161986 [applause] 07pGxIyr9_u-00260-00161986-00162540 Female Speaker: We have time for a few questions. 07pGxIyr9_u-00261-00162540-00163200 Johanna Lampe: Everybody's just ready for dinner. [laughs] 07pGxIyr9_u-00262-00163200-00163839 Female Speaker: Well, if people aren't rushing for questions 07pGxIyr9_u-00263-00163839-00164225 now, it'll probably give us the opportunity to -- oh, someone's -- 07pGxIyr9_u-00264-00164225-00164374 Female Speaker: I do have one question. 07pGxIyr9_u-00265-00164374-00164474 Female Speaker: Yeah. 07pGxIyr9_u-00266-00164474-00164583 Female Speaker: You mentioned lecithin, and you were looking 07pGxIyr9_u-00267-00164583-00164959 at meat and egg sources. I was wondering, have you looked at all at soy lecithin? I 07pGxIyr9_u-00268-00164959-00165358 know it's very commonly and almost ubiquitously put into processed foods. 07pGxIyr9_u-00269-00165358-00165678 Johanna Lampe: I would expect it probably is going to be 07pGxIyr9_u-00270-00165678-00166424 similar. I mean, as phosphatidylcholine, it's going to be similarly broken doing, and the 07pGxIyr9_u-00271-00166424-00166909 choline is going to be available as a substrate for the bacteria. So whether or not it's a 07pGxIyr9_u-00272-00166909-00167503 pure source, or whether it's coming from different food products, it's likely to have that effect. 07pGxIyr9_u-00273-00167503-00167938 Female Speaker: Well, please join me in showing appreciation 07pGxIyr9_u-00274-00167938-00168251 for all the speakers in this session. 07pGxIyr9_u-00275-00168251-00168351 [applause] 07pGxIyr9_u-00276-00168351-00168887 And we'll now start the discussion session for this afternoon. 08FLjbpAuEI-00000-00000000-00000100 Muhahahahahahaha 08FLjbpAuEI-00001-00000110-00000229 Oh, come on! 08FLjbpAuEI-00002-00000229-00000444 RAINNNBOOOOWS 08FLjbpAuEI-00003-00000490-00000576 WOAAAAAH! 08FLjbpAuEI-00004-00000919-00001136 Bye, Brian... 08FLjbpAuEI-00005-00001334-00001588 *screams* 08FLjbpAuEI-00006-00001590-00001678 Hey, want a banana- 08FLjbpAuEI-00007-00001678-00001772 Oh, what!? 08FLjbpAuEI-00008-00001776-00001873 NO!

Set 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00001-00002298-00003090 the resolution to 64, the rotation to 10, the start radius to 1.05 and the end radius to 0.05. 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00002-00003090-00003894 Add a transform node add a resample curve node. Set the count to 230. now add a set position node, 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00003-00003894-00004812 add a noise texture, set it to 4d and the to -0.1 Now set the scale to 1, duplicate it and set the 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00004-00004812-00005610 W to 0.1 Add a mix node, set it to color and set factor to zero. Plug the color into B and this 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00005-00005610-00006216 one into A. Plug the result into the offset of the set position node. Add a vector map node. Set the 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00006-00006216-00007050 vector to -0.5 and now keyframe the rotation, here W here and here and the factor. By the way make 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00007-00007050-00007722 sure you're on frame one when keyframing these. Set the end to 100 and the frame rate to 60. Go 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00008-00007722-00008646 to frame 101, set the set rotation to 1080 and keyframe it. Now set this to 0.1 and keyframe it, 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00009-00008646-00009384 set this one to -0.1 and keyframe it and set the factor 1 and keyframe it. Select all of 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00010-00009384-00010068 the keyframe nodes here, press A and T and select linear. Add a subdivision surface node. As you can 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00011-00010068-00010578 see we cannot use this on a curve so let's add a curve to mesh node. Set the level to 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00012-00010578-00011292 two. Now add a mesh to curve node. Add a cone, set the vertices to 10, the side segments and 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00013-00011292-00011988 fill segments to 32 and the radius bottom to 1.06. Duplicate the subdivision surface node 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00014-00011988-00012540 and plug the mesh into the mesh and set this to 3. Let's also duplicate the set position node, 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00015-00012540-00013091 plug the vector into the offset and the mesh into the geometry. I want the curve to shrink wrap 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00016-00013091-00013697 around the cone basically so let's add a geometry proximity node. Again duplicate this position node 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00017-00013697-00014322 and plug the position into the position. Duplicate the curve to mesh node and here let's use a curve 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00018-00014322-00015018 circle. Set the radius to 0.05. Now add a set curve radius node. For the radius let's use a 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00019-00015018-00015672 spline parameter node. Make sure to use the factor and now to invert this add a reverse curve node. 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00020-00015672-00016254 Here let's also check fill caps. Duplicate this subdivision surface node that we set to 2 and put 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00021-00016254-00016842 it here. Add a joint geometry node, take this geometry and plug it in here. Let's also add a 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00022-00016842-00017412 set shade smooth node. Add a set material node, duplicate it and put it here. In the material 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00023-00017412-00018018 properties create two new materials. Select the first one here and the second one here. Let's 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00024-00018018-00018612 save. Now take the UV map output of the cone and plug it into the group output. Now press 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00025-00018612-00019314 N and go to group and go to UV map and copy the name in the output attributes. Pace the name in 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00026-00019314-00019914 here and hit enter. Save now and go to shading. Go into rendered view. You can find a link to 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00027-00019914-00020574 this hdri in the description. Set the strength to 2.5. In the render properties go to film and make 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00028-00020574-00021156 it transparent and enable transparent glass. Under color management set the view transform to filmic 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00029-00021156-00021630 and the look to very high contrast. Make sure to set these settings back to the default settings 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00030-00021630-00022146 before compiling the images. Make sure the second material is selected. This material is based on a 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00031-00022146-00022680 material made by Ryan King. I'm going to put an info card to his videos here. Set the metallic 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00032-00022680-00023376 to 1 add the roughness to 0.27. Add a color ramp. For the black I'm going to use this hex code and 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00033-00023376-00023946 for the white I'm going to use this one. Plug the color into the base color add a musgrave texture 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00034-00023946-00024540 and press Ctrl T. Delete the texture coordinate and add an attribute node. Now let's paste this 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00035-00024540-00025092 name in here. Now if we Ctrl shift click on the node we have the UV map here. Plug the vector 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00036-00025092-00025698 into the vector and the height into the factor here. Set the scale to 1000 and the detail to 15. 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00037-00025698-00026345 Set the dimension to 0. Plug the vector into the normal and add a noise texture. Set the scale to 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00038-00026345-00026964 12 and the detail to 15. Now add a bump node. Let's disconnect this and use the factor for 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00039-00026964-00027594 the height. Set the strength to 0.008. Select the first material delete the principled bsdf 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00040-00027594-00028230 and add a glass bsdf and Ctrl shift click on it. Now let's save again and go back to layout mode, 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00041-00028230-00028764 press delete and one on the numpad, add a camera and press Ctrl Alt 0 to go into 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00042-00028764-00029364 camera view and press G and Z and move it up. Now enable a snapping, set it to face project, 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00043-00029364-00030089 add an empty, plane axis and press G and put it here. Now select the camera and go to the 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00044-00030089-00030672 object data properties and enable depth of field. Select the empty. Let's go to rendered view. Set 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00045-00030672-00031356 the F-stop to 0.2 and the blades to 16. Now let's save and press F12. Close this window and go to 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00046-00031356-00032004 compositing. Enable use nodes and denoting data and add a denoise node. Ctrl shift click on the 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00047-00032004-00032532 Node and now press shift and right click and drag over here. Add an Alpha overlay node. Plug the 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00048-00032532-00033084 image into the bottom socket here. I am going to use this hex code. Add a color balance node. I'll 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00049-00033084-00033618 put the hex codes for these on screen. Duplicate the alpha over node and again use the bottom 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00050-00033618-00034320 socket and make this black. Add a box mask. Plug the mask Into the factor. Now set this to 0.9 and 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00051-00034320-00035136 this to 0.45. Add a blur node. Set the X and Y to 300. Now add a mix node. Go to the texture 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00052-00035136-00035790 properties, click on new and select clouds. Set the size to 0 and here let's use a texture 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00053-00035790-00036252 node (Select the texture here). Set the factor to 0.03. In the output properties select an output 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00054-00036252-00036894 folder. I'm going to use jpeg with the quality set 100. If you want to speed up the render you can go 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00055-00036894-00037410 to the render properties and go to performance and enable persistent data. Just be careful with 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00056-00037410-00037962 this because it can use a lot of memory. And you can also go here and enable lock interface. Now 0vE8vBBQ7Ik-00057-00037962-00038490 save again and press Ctrl F12. Feel free to like and subscribe.

This will take my emeralds! 0wWAlpu381A-00001-00002815-00003015 shit.. 0xqlUqp581M-00000-00000000-00000488 Hey guys, this is Parker from Animoplex.com and I'm here to show you a new freebie 0xqlUqp581M-00001-00000488-00000834 called Kinetic Flame for After Effects CS5 or later. 0xqlUqp581M-00002-00000834-00001179 Now, this was designed to be an easy-to-use rig for animating abstract 0xqlUqp581M-00003-00001179-00001647 flame and fire effects and, as you can see, it resembles some sort of magical 0xqlUqp581M-00004-00001647-00001886 fire wisp that's very energetic. 0xqlUqp581M-00005-00001886-00002283 The only requirements for using this template is: 1) You must work in 32-bit 0xqlUqp581M-00006-00002283-00002768 color mode for the flame to render, and 2) you must have Trapcode Particular 2.0 0xqlUqp581M-00007-00002768-00003340 or later installed on After Effects CS5. I'm going to give you a quick overview 0xqlUqp581M-00008-00003340-00003615 and then let you go experiment to your heart's content. 0xqlUqp581M-00009-00003660-00004072 Okay, so the first thing I'm going to do is open up the After Effects template 0xqlUqp581M-00010-00004074-00004412 with After Effects, I have CC14 here. 0xqlUqp581M-00011-00004412-00004846 Now, once it's open, you'll notice there's a single composition and two solids, 0xqlUqp581M-00012-00004846-00004974 so it's pretty simple. 0xqlUqp581M-00013-00005028-00005360 Now, there's a controller layer at the top of the composition. 0xqlUqp581M-00014-00005361-00005802 This is the backbone of the rig and it controls all the settings for how the 0xqlUqp581M-00015-00005802-00006252 flame interacts with your scene. Below that, you have two other important elements. 0xqlUqp581M-00016-00006252-00006618 One is the "Flame Source", which is a light object and it needs to have 0xqlUqp581M-00017-00006618-00006834 the first word "Flame" 0xqlUqp581M-00018-00006834-00007198 You'll notice if you change it to something else the flame disappears. 0xqlUqp581M-00019-00007198-00007866 That's because the controller is looking for a light object with the first word, "Flame" 0xqlUqp581M-00020-00007981-00008426 The other important element is the two Particular layers, and this contains all 0xqlUqp581M-00021-00008427-00008742 the Particular effects for the flame. 0xqlUqp581M-00022-00008742-00009090 You can have more than one light object in the scene, but just know that any 0xqlUqp581M-00023-00009090-00009606 changes made to the original "Light Source" layer in terms of velocity 0xqlUqp581M-00024-00009606-00010203 will affect the second layer. So if this light stops, (this was the original) this one 0xqlUqp581M-00025-00010203-00010545 will stop emitting particles because of it, even if it's still moving. 0xqlUqp581M-00026-00010545-00011032 Now the way to fix this is to set all four of these "Speed Affects..." properties to 0. 0xqlUqp581M-00027-00011032-00011462 Basically, this changes these lights to constant emission and now they can be 0xqlUqp581M-00028-00011463-00011813 moved independently with different velocities and it doesn't matter. 0xqlUqp581M-00029-00011906-00012438 On the "Controller" layer, the first slider here "Speed Display" is to display the current 0xqlUqp581M-00030-00012438-00012824 velocity of your light object. You can keyframe the light object position directly 0xqlUqp581M-00031-00012824-00013080 or parent it to another layer like I've done here. 0xqlUqp581M-00032-00013124-00013488 Other settings on the Controller layer reference this value and it's not 0xqlUqp581M-00033-00013488-00013779 meant to be keyframed, hence the title, "Display" 0xqlUqp581M-00034-00013779-00014166 Now the four "Speed Affects..." properties here allow you to choose if you want the 0xqlUqp581M-00035-00014166-00014590 number of particles emitted to be based on the light object's velocity, 0xqlUqp581M-00036-00014590-00015091 or constant emission, or a mixture in between. So here, I've set all of them to 0xqlUqp581M-00037-00015093-00015569 50% and it's blending halfway between velocity-driven and constant emission. 0xqlUqp581M-00038-00015569-00016041 You can play with these and see what effect you like. Now, "Particle Density" is 0xqlUqp581M-00039-00016041-00016440 just the number of particles emitted per second, so by default it's 150. I'm going 0xqlUqp581M-00040-00016440-00016740 to change it to 300, and you'll see twice as many particles here. 0xqlUqp581M-00041-00016778-00017388 "Flame Size" also dictates the size of each of these particles. 0xqlUqp581M-00042-00017444-00017920 Now you'll notice they just got much larger, you can also change the "Ember Size" 0xqlUqp581M-00043-00017920-00018448 and the "Dust Size" as well. But that's kinda crazy, so I'm going to undo that. 0xqlUqp581M-00044-00018534-00018952 The four "Color" settings here are pretty self-explanatory, so you can choose 0xqlUqp581M-00045-00018990-00019122 any color you'd like here. 0xqlUqp581M-00046-00019122-00019464 Now, keep in mind, on top of these "Color" selections, 0xqlUqp581M-00047-00019464-00019851 it's going to randomize them by another 30% to make the particles seem 0xqlUqp581M-00048-00019851-00020016 a little bit more alive. 0xqlUqp581M-00049-00020016-00020400 You get a little bit more variance in there. Now the "Brightness" setting is 0xqlUqp581M-00050-00020400-00020667 meant to just boost the brightness value. 0xqlUqp581M-00051-00020667-00021153 This is going to be really useful on lighter backgrounds. And finally, the four 0xqlUqp581M-00052-00021153-00021591 "Turbulence" effects here control how turbulent the flames, smoke and embers 0xqlUqp581M-00053-00021591-00021761 appear after emission. 0xqlUqp581M-00054-00021882-00022278 You can increase or decrease this rig size simply by changing the solid layer 0xqlUqp581M-00055-00022278-00022794 size from 1920 x 1080 to any size you'd like. The rig will scale and contract to 0xqlUqp581M-00056-00022794-00023187 any size although you may need to manually scale the "Size" settings and 0xqlUqp581M-00057-00023187-00023751 probably the "Particle Density" accordingly to avoid extremely small or large flame sizes. 0xqlUqp581M-00058-00023848-00024251 Now, one last note, if the "Controller" layer is removed or renamed, in this case 0xqlUqp581M-00059-00024251-00024635 I'm just going to delete it out of the composition, each property will revert to 0xqlUqp581M-00060-00024636-00025094 a default setting until the layer is restored. This is to avoid expression errors 0xqlUqp581M-00061-00025094-00025422 in your composition and can easily be fixed with an undo. 0xqlUqp581M-00062-00025474-00025789 Inspiration for this flame effect comes from a project called 0xqlUqp581M-00063-00025791-00026051 "Particular Nebula" by Mattrunks (www.mattrunks.com) 0xqlUqp581M-00064-00026051-00026378 and it's a really interesting effect. I've spent a lot of time working with it 0xqlUqp581M-00065-00026378-00026534 and creating this template. 0xqlUqp581M-00066-00026564-00026945 I've attempted to streamline the process based on my own uses and make it a 0xqlUqp581M-00067-00026945-00027389 really fast render as well. I hope this template is exactly what you're looking 0xqlUqp581M-00068-00027389-00027745 for and it inspires you to build something beautiful and unique. 0xqlUqp581M-00069-00027786-00028133 If you've created something with it or have any questions at all please leave 0xqlUqp581M-00070-00028133-00028480 me a comment or email me: support@animoplex.com 0xqlUqp581M-00071-00028480-00028672 and I'd love to take a look. 0xqlUqp581M-00072-00028706-00029054 If you're interested in a pre-built logo animation using this effect, 0xqlUqp581M-00073-00029055-00029380 I've got a template available for purchase and you can find the links below. 0xqlUqp581M-00074-00029380-00029774 It has pre-rendered effects, no need for plugins, but an optional project file 0xqlUqp581M-00075-00029774-00030039 with plugins is available if you want to customize it. 0xqlUqp581M-00076-00030082-00030310 As always, thanks for watching! 0xFA2HAAUoI-00000-00000000-00000591 Get out from Silver and Nova withthis tutorial 0xFA2HAAUoI-00001-00000591-00000991 CT 0xFA2HAAUoI-00002-00001550-00002475 *Rightclick* 0xFA2HAAUoI-00003-00003086-00004415 Enemy Perspective 0xFA2HAAUoI-00004-00004655-00005366 One-way in Aps 0xFA2HAAUoI-00005-00006501-00007231 The same One-way but easier and more risky 0xFA2HAAUoI-00006-00007231-00007556 Right click 0xFA2HAAUoI-00007-00007556-00008331 If you want to see how to use one in a real match, click the video I suggest you above 0xFA2HAAUoI-00008-00008800-00009444 Enemy Perspective 0xFA2HAAUoI-00009-00011052-00011612 *Left click* 0xFA2HAAUoI-00010-00012110-00013034 It's not too probable that the enemy could see you, but you'll see it first. 0xFA2HAAUoI-00011-00014033-00014506 Enemy Perspective 0xFA2HAAUoI-00012-00015905-00016295 *Right click* 0xFA2HAAUoI-00013-00016596-00017017 Just peek the necessary time 0xFA2HAAUoI-00014-00018718-00019013 *Right click* 0xFA2HAAUoI-00015-00021512-00022000 *You must keep holding both clicks* 0xFA2HAAUoI-00016-00023500-00023769 Enemy Perspective 0xFA2HAAUoI-00017-00024000-00025081 Here, two people are needed.

Early in the year, bush fires killed 33 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00001-00000448-00000888 Australians, the aptly named “Black Summer” (soon to be renamed to “Not-so-bright Summer” 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00002-00000888-00001368 due to racial undertones). Australia was turned into a post-apocalyptic hell zone. Skies were 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00003-00001368-00001864 turned blood red. People wore masks in order to not die. The fires gradually subsided but 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00004-00001864-00002304 were replaced with coronavirus. International and domestic borders were slammed shut. People 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00005-00002304-00002840 were fighting over toilet paper. Masks weren’t recommended. George Floyd died. Did he die from 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00006-00002840-00003336 excessive force? Did he die from a fentanyl and methamphetamine overdose? Did he die from COVID? 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00007-00003336-00003696 Doesn’t matter. Black Lives Matter and Antifa saw an opportunity to hit the streets and 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00008-00003696-00004208 burn down America. Masks were optional. Social distancing unnecessary. But of course, kneeling 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00009-00004208-00004752 was mandatory. Protesters burnt the American flag with impunity. Proud Boys burnt the BLM flag and 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00010-00004752-00005344 their leader was arrested. Masks became mandatory. Americans voted. Joe Biden ostensibly won, but he 0yb6gPZmHJ4-00011-00005344-00005880 let slip that it was actually Kamala Harris who will become president. All in all, 2020 was sh!t. 0zVuwPA5GMg-00000-00000040-00000744 it looks like after i left the links to my video that had no views, it ends up 0zVuwPA5GMg-00001-00000744-00001136 in number of disciplines. it went from zero to three in nine hours, 0zVuwPA5GMg-00002-00001136-00001655 which is much more than we expected, but its views went up at a constant pace, 0zVuwPA5GMg-00003-00001832-00002464 but this is very weird. i obviously got more this size for my latest video. 0CiYyj7QS_4-00000-00007542-00007742 [Radio Playing] Reports have also indicated that armed robbery 0CiYyj7QS_4-00001-00007742-00007920 carjacking and drug related crimes 0CiYyj7QS_4-00002-00007920-00008290 have registered at an all time record high in the Jomdon slum area 0CiYyj7QS_4-00003-00008342-00008906 The murder of the former CID agent has opened up investigations on tentative speculations concerning 0CiYyj7QS_4-00004-00008944-00009204 organized crimes in the dark alleys of Jomdon 0CiYyj7QS_4-00005-00009278-00009776 Files prepared by the detective on supposed criminal bigwigs are now at large. 0CiYyj7QS_4-00006-00009926-00010022 Hello Mojo 0CiYyj7QS_4-00007-00010060-00010124 -Stevo 0CiYyj7QS_4-00008-00010126-00010276 -Hello, Wassup 0CiYyj7QS_4-00009-00010310-00010578 Ah!

0E8L_FSdSqy-00012-00009560-00010024 but born from born from the hearts understanding that another person is just as real as they are 0E8L_FSdSqy-00013-00010120-00010608 as a board member of operation carry international and a sponsor for fellowship power lunch 0E8L_FSdSqy-00014-00010608-00011152 katie andy makes it her mission to surrender a piece of herself in order to understand and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00015-00011152-00011752 identify with the journeys and sometimes the struggles people face she knows that her time 0E8L_FSdSqy-00016-00011752-00012232 and commitment to all these causes

for a second all right awesome yeah i think i hit all points i 0E8L_FSdSqy-00020-00014063-00014591 feel that you know i see it when i look in your eyes i can tell you recognize your own humanity 0E8L_FSdSqy-00021-00014591-00015240 and and that that you give a piece of yourself to each of the organizations that you represent 0E8L_FSdSqy-00022-00015240-00015728 and and in that journey with people you get to understand them better 0E8L_FSdSqy-00023-00015728-00016312 and and you also it's your mission to help them find peace and joy in their lives so absolutely 0E8L_FSdSqy-00024-00016384-00016792 that's absolutely correct and i think that two key things you said there are surrender 0E8L_FSdSqy-00025-00016904-00017304 surrendering a piece of yourself because that's really what we're doing but when we surrender that 0E8L_FSdSqy-00026-00017304-00018128 we gain so much back that's awesome i might get emotional okay you know okay okay so let's start 0E8L_FSdSqy-00027-00018128-00018576 off by first i want to tell you that i admire and appreciate the work you do in the community we've 0E8L_FSdSqy-00028-00018576-00019120 worked together on many projects and i've always find this joyful heart a joyful hope and heart 0E8L_FSdSqy-00029-00019120-00019656 from you and it's it's a great it's a it's great to be partnering with you on on these things too i 0E8L_FSdSqy-00030-00019656-00020152 want you to know that thank you that feeling goes both way rush awesome okay well first things first 0E8L_FSdSqy-00031-00020216-00020760 let's start off by paying respect to black history month okay by saying happy black history month to 0E8L_FSdSqy-00032-00020760-00021360 you and your family talk to me a little bit about what black history month month means to to you you 0E8L_FSdSqy-00033-00021360-00021976 and your family so being a blended family i think that it's important that we celebrate all cultures 0E8L_FSdSqy-00034-00022040-00022464 god didn't create any one culture better than the other he didn't create any one race better than 0E8L_FSdSqy-00035-00022464-00022968 the other we're all brothers and sisters and that blended nation right that is what we're 0E8L_FSdSqy-00036-00022968-00023464 called to be we're called to collaborate to create together to communicate to cooperate 0E8L_FSdSqy-00037-00023520-00024104 and i think that it's important because we've had a marginalized piece of our society that has not 0E8L_FSdSqy-00038-00024104-00024848 been given proper credit for their contributions to society and science art math industry 0E8L_FSdSqy-00039-00024848-00025488 manufacturing and so to have a particular month that we can set aside and learn and truly learn 0E8L_FSdSqy-00040-00025488-00025968 the things that aren't taught in the textbooks because they've been taken out or eliminated or 0E8L_FSdSqy-00041-00025968-00026560 oppressed it's important that all of us are part of that conversation and that we learn truth and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00042-00026560-00027016 so to me that's what the month represents it's an opportunity for us to all come to the table 0E8L_FSdSqy-00043-00027080-00027600 good bad and ugly and to talk about truth and to give credit where credit's due absolutely you know 0E8L_FSdSqy-00044-00027808-00028224 martin luther king you know there are points in history that really stand out 0E8L_FSdSqy-00045-00028224-00028672 you know for african americans black history month and just black history period 0E8L_FSdSqy-00046-00028672-00029232 um is there one specific piece of history that you go this one's the most significant one that 0E8L_FSdSqy-00047-00029232-00029600 impacts me the most there are there are so many and for me and i remember this going all the way 0E8L_FSdSqy-00048-00029600-00030160 back to i think probably my fifth grade year right but it stuck with me but harriet tubman 0E8L_FSdSqy-00049-00030224-00031127 absolutely is my hero she is somebody who um shows what it is to take courage to surrender 0E8L_FSdSqy-00050-00031127-00031568 yourself to surrender maybe pieces of your own freedom so that you can go back and get others 0E8L_FSdSqy-00051-00031568-00032176 and bring them out and so just her courage her tenacity and she did this all the way through 0E8L_FSdSqy-00052-00032176-00032727 the end of her life and so she definitely somebody i celebrate but there's so many great prophets and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00053-00032727-00033408 activists and people that god has sent into the world we just have to listen and not crucify them 0E8L_FSdSqy-00054-00033408-00034016 yeah perfectly said i agree with you 100 on harriet tubman and so many others oh so many yes 0E8L_FSdSqy-00055-00034016-00034600 yeah okay so talk to me okay

0E8L_FSdSqy-00068-00041480-00041928 is that i'm starting to get the next generation i'm starting to get the kids of families that i 0E8L_FSdSqy-00069-00041928-00042368 closed whenever i was still just a processor so it's pretty exciting that's crazy that's like 0E8L_FSdSqy-00070-00042368-00042832 that's like i'm sure you're like wow that's like an awesome it's so fun it's so fun that's so cool 0E8L_FSdSqy-00071-00042832-00043408 okay you're also a board member of operation care international and a sponsor for sponsor 0E8L_FSdSqy-00072-00043408-00043856 for fellowship power lunch talk to me a little bit about each of those organizations so let me 0E8L_FSdSqy-00073-00043856-00044280 start with fellowship power lunch because that's actually how i got connected with operation care 0E8L_FSdSqy-00074-00044344-00044832 so fellowship power lunch we just celebrated our sixth year and this was a vision that lisa 0E8L_FSdSqy-00075-00044832-00045320 k gurney had had that god had placed on her hearts a few years before she actually stepped 0E8L_FSdSqy-00076-00045320-00046016 out in faith and basically fellowship power lunch brings speakers authors people from the political 0E8L_FSdSqy-00077-00046016-00046736 atmosphere from sports from media but they bring she brings them in to speak to a group 0E8L_FSdSqy-00078-00046736-00047144 of people right we're just it's fellowship it's not networking it's an opportunity to step away 0E8L_FSdSqy-00079-00047144-00047672 from your busyness and connect with other people receive a good lunch and receive a good word right 0E8L_FSdSqy-00080-00047672-00048280 and it's nourishing for the soul and the body fellowship power launch in 2016 in november 0E8L_FSdSqy-00081-00048280-00048936 susie jennings who's the founder of operation care was our guest speaker and susie's story touched me 0E8L_FSdSqy-00082-00048936-00049464 in such a poignant way that i immediately signed up to volunteer for their annual 0E8L_FSdSqy-00083-00049464-00049984 christmas party for jesus which is a christmas event serving our homeless community and our 0E8L_FSdSqy-00084-00049984-00050560 severely impoverished families so it immediately spoke to me i grew up in poverty so i understand 0E8L_FSdSqy-00085-00050560-00051056 what that struggle is like and i believe that when we have been blessed to come up out of 0E8L_FSdSqy-00086-00051056-00051504 that it is our responsibility to turn around and then bless others and help them along the way 0E8L_FSdSqy-00087-00051504-00051984 so a hand up not a handout but finding a way to connect with people and show them that there 0E8L_FSdSqy-00088-00052048-00052472 is a way forward and where they are today isn't necessarily where they're going to end up 0E8L_FSdSqy-00089-00052472-00053016 and so it represented a lot of hope and it represented um an opportunity for me to share 0E8L_FSdSqy-00090-00053016-00053679 my time and my talent and my treasure so i started out as a volunteer that first year and my daughter 0E8L_FSdSqy-00091-00053679-00054367 at the time served with me and from there we've served pretty much every year since and in 2000 0E8L_FSdSqy-00092-00054496-00055144 i think 2019 i was able to bring interlink family foundation on as a partner with operation care 0E8L_FSdSqy-00093-00055144-00055664 in the way of grant money and so i've been able to do that for the last couple of years 0E8L_FSdSqy-00094-00055664-00056384 with operation care and in 2021 susie jennings asked me if i would consider prayerfully consider 0E8L_FSdSqy-00095-00056384-00057008 being a board member which i did i am very protective of my time so i want to make sure that 0E8L_FSdSqy-00096-00057008-00057776 if i'm saying yes that i'm saying yes to the right thing and the right time because i am a mother i 0E8L_FSdSqy-00097-00057776-00058360 am a wife and that that's my first ministry but it's been a blessing to be a part of the board 0E8L_FSdSqy-00098-00058360-00058904 and to see what all actually goes into bringing those events to the community 0E8L_FSdSqy-00099-00058904-00059704 but also understanding the operation care is not just that one event they provide um they provide 0E8L_FSdSqy-00100-00059872-00060328 tangible items to the homeless community and the impoverished community throughout 0E8L_FSdSqy-00101-00060328-00060752 the year through their st joseph storehouse so it's an ongoing ministry it's just that that's 0E8L_FSdSqy-00102-00060752-00061200 that's one main event that they do each year that's awesome yeah i love it yeah it sounds like 0E8L_FSdSqy-00103-00061200-00061791 a very impactful um event both organizations i'm familiar with uh fellowship power lynch because i 0E8L_FSdSqy-00104-00061791-00062432 do a lot of work with y'all and um but man the uh operation care international is pretty impactful 0E8L_FSdSqy-00105-00062432-00063240 okay next question is how important are these organizations to to the community they both serve 0E8L_FSdSqy-00106-00063312-00063912 a purpose to connect people and to help people right that is probably the biggest 0E8L_FSdSqy-00107-00063912-00064304 thing i think that we've been missing in the last few years especially with covid is we are 0E8L_FSdSqy-00108-00064384-00065064 we've lost a lot of connection we've been so isolated and so even during cove fellowship was 0E8L_FSdSqy-00109-00065064-00065608 able to meet via zoom so we still had our monthly luncheons with our speakers and we were able to 0E8L_FSdSqy-00110-00065608-00066224 use technology to still bring people together and during that time our membership actually grew 0E8L_FSdSqy-00111-00066280-00066832 because people were able to attend a little bit more easily via the zoom connection than taking 0E8L_FSdSqy-00112-00066832-00067392 time out and driving and going to the event whenever it was at crest infinity but what 0E8L_FSdSqy-00113-00067392-00067904 we found is that people were hungry for that connection people still needed that personal 0E8L_FSdSqy-00114-00067904-00068336 touch and that's really what fellowship is all about like i said it's not a networking event 0E8L_FSdSqy-00115-00068336-00068912 it's a connection event it is an opportunity to go and connect and to to meet other people 0E8L_FSdSqy-00116-00068912-00069520 that maybe share similar stories and we just recently had jim monroe who's an author and a 0E8L_FSdSqy-00117-00069520-00069904 speaker and a skeptic and a lot of people probably know him from his i am second 0E8L_FSdSqy-00118-00069976-00070616 and that was probably out of the six years that we've been hosting that event it was one of the 0E8L_FSdSqy-00119-00070616-00071240 most impactful that we've experienced so far but for me being able to connect with people 0E8L_FSdSqy-00120-00071296-00071864 in a meaningful way with authenticity and being genuine that's what we're called to do 0E8L_FSdSqy-00121-00071864-00072280 none of us are called to live in isolation you know no man is an island unto himself 0E8L_FSdSqy-00122-00072280-00072984 right and so when we step out of our comfort zone and we step out of ourselves and we help others 0E8L_FSdSqy-00123-00073120-00073680 it will multiply yeah you know i kind of call it god's divine math you know whatever burdens 0E8L_FSdSqy-00124-00073680-00074456 we carry are divided and whatever joys we share become multiplied so these sorts of events allow 0E8L_FSdSqy-00125-00074456-00075016 us to multiply the blessings that we've been given that's amazing i love that okay how's 0E8L_FSdSqy-00126-00075016-00075760 it go again so god's a divine math right so our burdens when we share them become divided and our 0E8L_FSdSqy-00127-00075760-00076504 joys when we share them become multiplied i love that yes okay being part of these organizations 0E8L_FSdSqy-00128-00076504-00076936 is there a story or an experience that sticks out in your mind that has impacted you the most 0E8L_FSdSqy-00129-00077056-00077792 so they both have different things right with operation care i think on a personal level where 0E8L_FSdSqy-00130-00077792-00078320 it really impacted me the first year i served in toys so i was in the back i didn't really get to 0E8L_FSdSqy-00131-00078320-00078864 experience the event and in the front i didn't get to see the people right i was just bagging toys 0E8L_FSdSqy-00132-00078952-00079432 the my daughter who went with me at the time was 15 was originally going to serve in the 0E8L_FSdSqy-00133-00079432-00079848 santa area to take pictures right that's where she was comfortable but right across from that 0E8L_FSdSqy-00134-00079848-00080384 is the family foot washing station and this is where children come and have their feet washed 0E8L_FSdSqy-00135-00080384-00080952 and they get new socks and new shoes and i'm telling you what a beautiful thing right yeah 0E8L_FSdSqy-00136-00080952-00081552 i had kind of wanted her to serve there but at 15 didn't know if i was a seller on that right well 0E8L_FSdSqy-00137-00081552-00082080 they were short-handed there they were over over volunteered in the santa station and they came 0E8L_FSdSqy-00138-00082080-00082576 over and asked her volunteers and she said i'll go wow and of course as a mom i was so proud right 0E8L_FSdSqy-00139-00082640-00083136 so but i didn't know this until after the event so she comes and she tells me and she's excited and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00140-00083136-00083928 she's also softened yeah and she goes mom she goes seeing the look on these kids faces she goes this 0E8L_FSdSqy-00141-00083928-00084536 is where we have to serve this is where we have to serve every single year she goes being able to 0E8L_FSdSqy-00142-00084600-00085088 talk to this child to connect with his child to make them laugh and to see them get this pair of 0E8L_FSdSqy-00143-00085088-00085800 shoes it seems like something that is so small but the following year when we did serve there 0E8L_FSdSqy-00144-00085872-00086400 i caught what she caught yeah and it is that humanity yeah and for a lot of these 0E8L_FSdSqy-00145-00086400-00087016 children this is their pair of shoes for the year they don't go in their closet and have 0E8L_FSdSqy-00146-00087016-00087576 eight pairs of shoes to choose from they have one pair and as that pair starts to fall apart 0E8L_FSdSqy-00147-00087704-00088184 they just have to walk through it through the holes in their shoes and we will see children 0E8L_FSdSqy-00148-00088184-00088872 year after year and we get to see them grow yeah and hopefully my goal is that we stop 0E8L_FSdSqy-00149-00088872-00089384 seeing some of those children that maybe they are able to raise up out of that that mom and dad are 0E8L_FSdSqy-00150-00089384-00089880 given opportunity that maybe this is just a season but they are going to come out of it 0E8L_FSdSqy-00151-00089880-00090608 but that's the hope that we want to sow is that each season that you go through there is hope 0E8L_FSdSqy-00152-00090608-00091088 on the other side of that that your station could be better that your opportunity could be better 0E8L_FSdSqy-00153-00091088-00091760 life can change like that yeah and so if we can sow that hope and share that love and really just 0E8L_FSdSqy-00154-00091848-00092384 share the humanity right you know i see you yeah and i want to see you smile i want to make you 0E8L_FSdSqy-00155-00092384-00092864 laugh yeah i want to love on you a little bit awesome you know yeah so it's fantastic it's 0E8L_FSdSqy-00156-00092864-00093352 beautiful i got a little choked up i'll be honest with you i really did it's emotional you know um 0E8L_FSdSqy-00157-00093352-00094040 people don't understand these the spiritual significance of washing someone's feet and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00158-00094040-00094560 and you know the connection with christ and so that's a beautiful expression too 0E8L_FSdSqy-00159-00094560-00095072 in its own right too you know and that's that is exactly susie's vision for that that's that is one 0E8L_FSdSqy-00160-00095072-00095552 of the reasons that the foot washing station both on the homeless side and on the family side it is 0E8L_FSdSqy-00161-00095552-00096192 a signature piece and that's what she started with and so internationally the countries that we adopt 0E8L_FSdSqy-00162-00096256-00096832 that is the signature event that takes place so there is evangelism there there's the foot washing 0E8L_FSdSqy-00163-00096832-00097408 there's the new shoes in texas obviously we've got the toys and we have the meals and all of that too 0E8L_FSdSqy-00164-00097408-00097968 but in the other countries that she goes to the signature thing that we do is wash the feet of 0E8L_FSdSqy-00165-00097968-00098456 the children and the homeless and provide them new shoes and it is that that is the example 0E8L_FSdSqy-00166-00098456-00099048 christ gave us as far as serving he didn't come so that he could be served he came so that he could 0E8L_FSdSqy-00167-00099048-00099664 serve yeah what have you learned about humanity being part of these organizations that there's 0E8L_FSdSqy-00168-00099664-00100352 hope yeah um you know there's so many things going on in the world right now that we could focus on 0E8L_FSdSqy-00169-00100448-00101416 that could take our peace away but being part of a organization that is bigger than yourself 0E8L_FSdSqy-00170-00101416-00102064 and that is actually doing work in the community it connects you to the good things to the joy 0E8L_FSdSqy-00171-00102136-00102783 to you know when you pour love out you can't help but open up and have love poured back in and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00172-00102848-00103728 um i can't imagine a life where i'm not serving anymore and there were many years that i didn't 0E8L_FSdSqy-00173-00103728-00104224 there were many years i was tied up in my own business and my own goals and what i thought 0E8L_FSdSqy-00174-00104224-00104935 was important but in 2014 god really got a hold of me and you know he brought me out of a very 0E8L_FSdSqy-00175-00104935-00105535 very dark place he set me in a new place and it was a place for me to surrender my life to him 0E8L_FSdSqy-00176-00105600-00106320 and to really trust his process and his order to things and knowing what he brought me out of 0E8L_FSdSqy-00177-00106320-00106824 how can i not give back how can i not pour back that hope and others knowing what he's 0E8L_FSdSqy-00178-00106824-00107280 done for me how can i not share that with other people that he can do that for you too amen 0E8L_FSdSqy-00179-00107280-00107935 yeah awesome okay sponsorship within a community organization what are what are a couple of tips 0E8L_FSdSqy-00180-00107935-00108416 to gain sponsorship for like you know like your organizations that you're part of what are some 0E8L_FSdSqy-00181-00108416-00108848 some tips that you could give somebody who has an organization's how do i get i need sponsors i need 0E8L_FSdSqy-00182-00108848-00109448 sponsors for an event i need sponsors for a gala i want to host what are a couple of tips that you've 0E8L_FSdSqy-00183-00109448-00110000 you've kind of learned in the in being a part of uh um being a sponsor number one and being a 0E8L_FSdSqy-00184-00110000-00110840 board member so start small right it doesn't have to be a great big event yeah it can be something 0E8L_FSdSqy-00185-00110840-00111328 small i mean for me i had never thought about sponsoring an event like fellowship power launch 0E8L_FSdSqy-00186-00111328-00111911 before until lisa king came to me about it right and i was like yeah this sounds great let's do 0E8L_FSdSqy-00187-00111911-00112359 it and here we are six years later and i'm still a sponsor and we've seen so many sponsors come along 0E8L_FSdSqy-00188-00112488-00113088 we need money right organizations like operation care fellowship interlink family foundation 0E8L_FSdSqy-00189-00113159-00113608 all of the non-profits and this even in the veteran community all of the non-profits 0E8L_FSdSqy-00190-00113608-00114200 are serving the community their boots on ground right all of that takes dollars but if you start 0E8L_FSdSqy-00191-00114200-00114816 small if you start well what can i give first of all what's important to me yeah find something 0E8L_FSdSqy-00192-00114816-00115400 that makes your heart sing find an organization that speaks to something inside of you because 0E8L_FSdSqy-00193-00115400-00115896 i guarantee that everything that each one of us has gone through as a child and a teenager 0E8L_FSdSqy-00194-00115896-00116568 and as an adult there's something in our life that touched us in a certain way find the organizations 0E8L_FSdSqy-00195-00116568-00117016 that are doing that work because that's where you'll find the human connection that's where 0E8L_FSdSqy-00196-00117016-00117559 it will have meaning and then from there where can i put my dollars where can i put my time my 0E8L_FSdSqy-00197-00117559-00118168 talent my treasure and for sponsors same thing you know what does your organization represent 0E8L_FSdSqy-00198-00118224-00118872 and what organizations within the community that are doing that work who can you connect with to 0E8L_FSdSqy-00199-00118872-00119720 put your corporate dollars as a sponsor to help bring those events or supplies or therapy or 0E8L_FSdSqy-00200-00119792-00120240 um make a wish sort of things i mean there's so many needs that can be met but find the 0E8L_FSdSqy-00201-00120240-00120583 organizations that are meeting the need and put your time talent and treasure there 0E8L_FSdSqy-00202-00120704-00121152 and then as far as this is something i had never fundraised before fellowship power lunch and 0E8L_FSdSqy-00203-00121152-00121496 before our first annual veterans appreciation event which you walked through that with us 0E8L_FSdSqy-00204-00121656-00122368 it's amazing if you ask most people have a heart to give some people just don't know where to give 0E8L_FSdSqy-00205-00122368-00123040 right so don't be afraid to ask and let them know what you're about be transparent and let them know 0E8L_FSdSqy-00206-00123040-00123568 you know no matter how small that seed is how much that donation is it will make a difference because 0E8L_FSdSqy-00207-00123568-00124096 if we have a hundred people making a one dollar donation that's a hundred dollars that we've just 0E8L_FSdSqy-00208-00124096-00124640 raised right and then you multiply that so we all have social networks but we also have our inner 0E8L_FSdSqy-00209-00124640-00125232 sphere so i always start with that inner sphere you know go go small yeah but then also use the 0E8L_FSdSqy-00210-00125232-00125864 social media platforms to go big yeah katie it's always this has been a wonderful conversation 0E8L_FSdSqy-00211-00125864-00126535 enlightenment of who you are the embodiment of of of humanity your contributions to the

Consumer Product Safety Commission. 0F2jdODNpno-00002-00001486-00001780 We have one item on the Agenda today. 0F2jdODNpno-00003-00001780-00002529 We are having a Public Hearing on a Petition submitted asking the Commission to act 0F2jdODNpno-00004-00002529-00002985 on a class of flame retardants known as organohalogens. 0F2jdODNpno-00005-00002985-00003354 I'm going to start with a series of three apologies. 0F2jdODNpno-00006-00003354-00003663 First, our regular hearing room is under renovation. 0F2jdODNpno-00007-00003663-00003983 This is not our regular hearing room, if anyone thought it was. 0F2jdODNpno-00008-00003983-00004567 So we're making the best of it and we are appreciative of everyone accommodating as best 0F2jdODNpno-00009-00004567-00005074 as they can the differences of how we have to do things today, both in this room and getting back 0F2jdODNpno-00010-00005074-00005581 and forth from this room and as the logistical questions arise, if you have any questions, 0F2jdODNpno-00011-00005581-00005943 Patricia Adkins, I believe, is -- she's in the back of the room, if you turn around, 0F2jdODNpno-00012-00005943-00006106 and she's going to pick up her hand. 0F2jdODNpno-00013-00006106-00006450 That's Patricia, if you have any logistical questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00014-00006450-00006970 Second apology is that everybody's testimony matters, whether they're in person 0F2jdODNpno-00015-00006970-00007339 or on the phone, and we've an incredibly tight schedule and so we're going 0F2jdODNpno-00016-00007339-00007734 to be pretty vigilant about the time and we're going to ask folks -- 0F2jdODNpno-00017-00007734-00008044 one, we're going to apologize upfront about having to cut people off if they go 0F2jdODNpno-00018-00008044-00008293 over their time and we're going to hold ourselves accountable 0F2jdODNpno-00019-00008293-00008554 to that same time, but it's really important. 0F2jdODNpno-00020-00008554-00008845 When we've had these in the past, we know it can be frustrating 0F2jdODNpno-00021-00008845-00009286 for people whose testimony is toward the end, people have flights and other arrangements 0F2jdODNpno-00022-00009286-00009578 that they're trying to make, and we want to stick to that schedule 0F2jdODNpno-00023-00009578-00009953 because it matters whether they're going early, middle, or end. 0F2jdODNpno-00024-00009953-00010326 The third apology is that at some point today, I'm going to have to turn this 0F2jdODNpno-00025-00010326-00010739 over to Vice Chairman Adler to my left. 0F2jdODNpno-00026-00010739-00011391 Unfortunately, I had a knee issue arise that requires more medical attention later today 0F2jdODNpno-00027-00011391-00011594 and so I can't be here for the whole hearing. 0F2jdODNpno-00028-00011594-00011894 I will watch online as much as I can when I'm not in the room 0F2jdODNpno-00029-00011894-00012208 and I'll certainly make sure to watch the recorded version. 0F2jdODNpno-00030-00012208-00012523 This is a really important issue for all of us. 0F2jdODNpno-00031-00012523-00013062 I've spent a lot of time since I've been in this position trying to attempt to begin 0F2jdODNpno-00032-00013062-00013427 to crack the nut of chemical exposure to children. 0F2jdODNpno-00033-00013427-00013732 It's a frustrating -- and I'm not speaking for my colleagues. 0F2jdODNpno-00034-00013732-00014049 They'll be speaking for themselves quite eloquently. 0F2jdODNpno-00035-00014049-00014646 As a parent in particular, it's a very frustrating public policy posture for me 0F2jdODNpno-00036-00014646-00015027 that we have to wait to find out that our children might have been exposed 0F2jdODNpno-00037-00015027-00015647 to a very harmful chemical and those changes might be reparable for us to act, 0F2jdODNpno-00038-00015647-00016306 us meaning the U.S. Government, or even industry to act to try to take that chemical out of play 0F2jdODNpno-00039-00016306-00016879 and then even when -- the way the process works is even when that chemical is taken out of play, 0F2jdODNpno-00040-00016879-00017126 we often don't know what's coming in behind it. 0F2jdODNpno-00041-00017126-00017529 The term "regrettable substitution" will come up often today, I'm sure. 0F2jdODNpno-00042-00017529-00017897 I think there's a better public policy route to be taking so that we are figuring 0F2jdODNpno-00043-00017897-00018472 out alternatives that actually work and not continuing to whack-a-mole, 0F2jdODNpno-00044-00018472-00019023 get rid of a chemical that doesn't work and wait to see in 20 years whether the next generation 0F2jdODNpno-00045-00019023-00019386 of children has been exposed, and it's not only flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00046-00019386-00019690 There's many other chemicals, many other products, 0F2jdODNpno-00047-00019690-00019951 areas beyond our jurisdiction of routes of exposure. 0F2jdODNpno-00048-00019951-00020579 We're not only talking about CPSC-related items but there has to be a better way and for me, 0F2jdODNpno-00049-00020579-00021235 sitting in this seat as a public policy-maker, all I want to know is does the action 0F2jdODNpno-00050-00021235-00021673 that we take make a difference for safety for children? 0F2jdODNpno-00051-00021673-00022237 And for those who I will be asking questions of, if we take the action requested 0F2jdODNpno-00052-00022237-00022751 or take a different action requested or don't take this action, how will we, the five of us, 0F2jdODNpno-00053-00022751-00023584 know that the choices we make will definitively make consumers, especially children, safer? 0F2jdODNpno-00054-00023584-00023771 That is my primary motivation. 0F2jdODNpno-00055-00023771-00024163 We want to make sure that whatever we do is actually going to help. 0F2jdODNpno-00056-00024163-00024539 And this, unlike taking out something like lead in children's products, 0F2jdODNpno-00057-00024539-00024820 this is a much more complicated public policy area 0F2jdODNpno-00058-00024820-00025095 because there are two potential hazards at play. 0F2jdODNpno-00059-00025095-00025445 There's the acute fire hazard, which obviously needs to be addressed, 0F2jdODNpno-00060-00025445-00025752 whether that's through some type of chemical or not, and I'll leave that up to others 0F2jdODNpno-00061-00025752-00026095 to decide, but the fire hazard is real. 0F2jdODNpno-00062-00026095-00026295 We recognize that. 0F2jdODNpno-00063-00026295-00026838 But then so is the potential chronic hazard of exposure and so whatever we do, 0F2jdODNpno-00064-00026838-00027452 we have to make sure that we're not potentially exposing people to more fires if we are going 0F2jdODNpno-00065-00027452-00027980 to act on chemicals and, conversely, that we're not choosing to deal with just the fire hazard 0F2jdODNpno-00066-00027980-00028275 without dealing with the chemical exposure hazard. 0F2jdODNpno-00067-00028275-00028756 So thank you, everybody, for coming today who appear on the phone. 0F2jdODNpno-00068-00028756-00029067 We probably, as I mentioned, will not be able to get to everyone's questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00069-00029067-00029354 I'd like to leave it up to the Commission to decide how long 0F2jdODNpno-00070-00029354-00029930 to leave the record open afterward and to figure out some mechanism by which we can -- okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00071-00029930-00030442 There's fewer than three people on the phone right now. 0F2jdODNpno-00072-00030442-00030827 Do I need to press this? 0F2jdODNpno-00073-00030827-00031283 Sorry. I have to press Star 1. 0F2jdODNpno-00074-00031283-00031930 Okay. We're hoping that worked. 0F2jdODNpno-00075-00031930-00032276 So we will try to figure out some mechanism to have questions for the record to make it as easy 0F2jdODNpno-00076-00032276-00032814 as possible for the Commission to ask follow-up questions and to have those entered 0F2jdODNpno-00077-00032814-00033323 into the record after the hearing is over and be included in any rulemaking that may occur. 0F2jdODNpno-00078-00033323-00033570 So with that, we're going to turn to our first panel. 0F2jdODNpno-00079-00033570-00034016 We are quite honored to have with us Dr. Linda Birnbaum is the Director 0F2jdODNpno-00080-00034016-00034436 of the National Institutes for Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes 0F2jdODNpno-00081-00034436-00034993 of Health, and unlike me being in this position, not only is Dr. Birnbaum the head 0F2jdODNpno-00082-00034993-00035255 of the agency, she's also an expert. 0F2jdODNpno-00083-00035255-00035777 She has spent decades studying these chemicals, flame retardants in particular, 0F2jdODNpno-00084-00035777-00036323 and so we are quite -- it's quite a privilege for us to have her testifying and so with that, 0F2jdODNpno-00085-00036323-00036584 Dr. Birnbaum, if you can please begin your testimony. 0F2jdODNpno-00086-00036584-00036886 PANEL 1 DR. BIRNBAUM: Good morning, Commissioners. 0F2jdODNpno-00087-00036886-00037432 I'm Linda Birnbaum, the Director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 0F2jdODNpno-00088-00037432-00037819 one of the 27 institutes and centers of the National Institutes of Health, 0F2jdODNpno-00089-00037819-00038758 and I'm also Director of the National Toxicology Program, which involves FDA, CDC, and NIH. 0F2jdODNpno-00090-00038758-00039003 I'm also a Principal Investigator 0F2jdODNpno-00091-00039003-00039388 of the National Cancer Institute Intramural Research Program. 0F2jdODNpno-00092-00039388-00039812 For the last 14 years or more, my research has focused 0F2jdODNpno-00093-00039812-00040214 on understanding the environmental health effects of flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00094-00040214-00040591 and I am considered a subject matter expert in this area. 0F2jdODNpno-00095-00040591-00041156 I would like to just say that I am accompanied by Dr. Chris Weiss, who is my chief toxicologist 0F2jdODNpno-00096-00041156-00041638 in my Bethesda office, and also an expert in flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00097-00041638-00041973 I'm honored to be invited to testify at today's hearing 0F2jdODNpno-00098-00041973-00042397 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairman Elliott Kaye. 0F2jdODNpno-00099-00042397-00042836 Synthetic polymers, things like plastics and foams, are generally considered 0F2jdODNpno-00100-00042836-00043272 to be more flammable than natural substances, things like cellulose. 0F2jdODNpno-00101-00043272-00043692 Consequently, flame retardants have been added to many modern consumer products 0F2jdODNpno-00102-00043692-00044241 and building materials for the purpose of reducing the risk and hazard of fire. 0F2jdODNpno-00103-00044241-00044716 Flame retardants containing bromine and/or chlorine have often been preferred 0F2jdODNpno-00104-00044716-00045206 for specific applications due to their efficiency and thermal stability. 0F2jdODNpno-00105-00045206-00045816 Halogens, particularly bromine, interfere with fire chemistry by forming radical species 0F2jdODNpno-00106-00045816-00046222 that compete with propagation of the combustion cycle. 0F2jdODNpno-00107-00046222-00046946 As a consequence of use, many halogenated flame retardants are now found in the environment 0F2jdODNpno-00108-00046946-00047400 and have been detected in wildlife and humans. 0F2jdODNpno-00109-00047400-00048010 They have the ability to accumulate in biological fluids and tissues and toxicological 0F2jdODNpno-00110-00048010-00048606 and epidemiological evaluations indicate that they are human toxicants. 0F2jdODNpno-00111-00048606-00049169 Included among the flame retardants that may be human toxicants are the polybrominated di-phenyl 0F2jdODNpno-00112-00049169-00049414 ethers or PBDEs. 0F2jdODNpno-00113-00049414-00050092 As a flame retardant, PBDEs are mixed into products without being chemically bonded 0F2jdODNpno-00114-00050092-00050388 or reacted to the matrix of the products. 0F2jdODNpno-00115-00050388-00050801 Such additive flame retardants have much greater potential to leach 0F2jdODNpno-00116-00050801-00051169 into the environment than reactive flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00117-00051169-00051429 Once in the environment, they are more likely 0F2jdODNpno-00118-00051429-00051862 to present exposure concerns for humans and wildlife. 0F2jdODNpno-00119-00051862-00052384 PBDEs are present in household and office dust, are absorbed following exposure 0F2jdODNpno-00120-00052384-00052658 and accumulate in human fluids and tissues. 0F2jdODNpno-00121-00052658-00053104 Toxicity in rodent models include effects on endocrine disruption, 0F2jdODNpno-00122-00053104-00053809 such as thyroid hormone homeostasis, modulation of estrogen and androgen signaling, 0F2jdODNpno-00123-00053809-00054539 effects on obesity and diabetes, altered fertility, and neurotoxicity. 0F2jdODNpno-00124-00054539-00055210 Epidemiology studies have documented many of these same effects in humans. 0F2jdODNpno-00125-00055210-00055765 Fetuses, nursing infants, and young children may be at highest risk due 0F2jdODNpno-00126-00055765-00055949 to critical developmental windows 0F2jdODNpno-00127-00055949-00056547 of susceptibility and/or the potential for greater exposures. 0F2jdODNpno-00128-00056547-00056934 Now there are 209 possible congeners of PBDEs 0F2jdODNpno-00129-00056934-00057287 and three different molecular weight formulations have been used 0F2jdODNpno-00130-00057287-00057571 as commercial flame retardant products. 0F2jdODNpno-00131-00057571-00058278 Two of the commercial mixtures have been shown to be carcinogenic in both rats and mice. 0F2jdODNpno-00132-00058278-00058802 The extent of absorption, the internal dose, and the toxicity are largely determined 0F2jdODNpno-00133-00058802-00059337 by congener differences in bromine number and substitution patterns. 0F2jdODNpno-00134-00059337-00059675 Congeners of the lowest molecular weight mixture used largely 0F2jdODNpno-00135-00059675-00060321 in polyurethane foam are readily absorbed and are prevalent in human tissue and fluids. 0F2jdODNpno-00136-00060321-00060912 The major congener of the highest molecular weight mixture used primarily in heavy textiles 0F2jdODNpno-00137-00060912-00061412 and heavy plastic casings for electronic equipment is poorly absorbed 0F2jdODNpno-00138-00061412-00061679 but persists in the environment. 0F2jdODNpno-00139-00061679-00062341 Concern over persistence and toxicity has led to removal of all PBDE commercial formulations 0F2jdODNpno-00140-00062341-00062979 from production in the U.S. and bans in Canada, Europe, and Japan. 0F2jdODNpno-00141-00062979-00063341 The lower molecular weight PBDEs have been listed for elimination 0F2jdODNpno-00142-00063341-00063701 under the Stockholm Convention of Persistent Organic Pollutants 0F2jdODNpno-00143-00063701-00064120 and DECA BDE is currently proposed for listing, as well. 0F2jdODNpno-00144-00064120-00064601 Another high-volume brominated flame retardant also listed for elimination 0F2jdODNpno-00145-00064601-00065208 under this international treaty is Hexabromocyclododecane or HBCD. 0F2jdODNpno-00146-00065208-00065737 HBCD is also a persistent and additive flame retardant and is found 0F2jdODNpno-00147-00065737-00066171 in the environment, in wildlife, and in people. 0F2jdODNpno-00148-00066171-00066618 Mechanistic and animal studies have indicated it is an endocrine disruptor. 0F2jdODNpno-00149-00066618-00067232 It is toxic to the liver and causes adverse neuro-developmental effects. 0F2jdODNpno-00150-00067232-00067923 Tetrabrombisphenol-A or TBBPA is an example of a halogenated flame retardant 0F2jdODNpno-00151-00067923-00068510 with a biological fate that is different from that of HBCD and PBDEs. 0F2jdODNpno-00152-00068510-00069149 TBBPA is a reactive high-production volume chemical bonded to resins of circuit boards. 0F2jdODNpno-00153-00069149-00069575 An advantage of this reactive application is that there's low potential 0F2jdODNpno-00154-00069575-00069980 for TBBPA to leach into the environment. 0F2jdODNpno-00155-00069980-00070685 Although readily absorbed following exposure, TBBPA is rapidly conjugated and excreted, 0F2jdODNpno-00156-00070685-00071318 resulting in low bioavailability and little potential to accumulate in tissues. 0F2jdODNpno-00157-00071318-00071997 However, recently, the use of TBBPA in an additive mode has increased. 0F2jdODNpno-00158-00071997-00072448 Current research is assessing where there may be adverse effects due to greater levels 0F2jdODNpno-00159-00072448-00072760 of exposure for both humans and wildlife. 0F2jdODNpno-00160-00072760-00073592 Continuous exposures and epidemiological studies detecting TBBPA in human serum and breast milk 0F2jdODNpno-00161-00073592-00073899 in the United States, Europe, and Asia, have been conducted. 0F2jdODNpno-00162-00073899-00074215 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Dr. Birnbaum, I'm just going to let you know that we've moved into my time 0F2jdODNpno-00163-00074215-00074547 for questioning but I'm going to yield that time, if you'd please continue testifying. 0F2jdODNpno-00164-00074547-00074894 DR. BIRNBAUM: Thank you, Commissioner. 0F2jdODNpno-00165-00074894-00075467 Okay. So thus far, animal studies have shown it to be a carcinogen in rats and mice 0F2jdODNpno-00166-00075467-00075683 and to cause endocrine disruption. 0F2jdODNpno-00167-00075683-00076101 Studies are underway to assess the potential for TBBPA 0F2jdODNpno-00168-00076101-00076547 to cause developmental effects in rats at low doses. 0F2jdODNpno-00169-00076547-00077091 This work will lead to a better understanding of the health risks of TBBPA to humans. 0F2jdODNpno-00170-00077091-00077494 Some brominated and chlorinated organophosphate flame retardants have been known 0F2jdODNpno-00171-00077494-00077807 for over 30 years to be animal carcinogens. 0F2jdODNpno-00172-00077807-00078348 Recent studies have shown that some of these are also developmental neurotoxicants. 0F2jdODNpno-00173-00078348-00079146 Alternate halogenated flame retardants include a TBBPA derivative, TBBPA-DBPE, 0F2jdODNpno-00174-00079146-00080062 Tetrabromobenzoate, TBB, Tetrabromophthalate, TBPH, and Decabromodiphenyl ethane or DBDPE. 0F2jdODNpno-00175-00080062-00080674 TBB and TBPH are often used in a commercial mixture, Firemaster 550, 0F2jdODNpno-00176-00080674-00080958 which is used as an additive flame retardant. 0F2jdODNpno-00177-00080958-00081445 A small study in animals has demonstrated endocrine disruption and neural behavior impacts 0F2jdODNpno-00178-00081445-00081812 of developmental exposure to Firemaster 550. 0F2jdODNpno-00179-00081812-00082251 Both TBB and TBPH have been found in house dust and a metabolite 0F2jdODNpno-00180-00082251-00082603 of TBB has been found in human urine. 0F2jdODNpno-00181-00082603-00083327 TBBPA-DBPE, TBPH, and DBDPE, which are environmentally persistent and found 0F2jdODNpno-00182-00083327-00083979 in wildlife, are poorly absorbed and persistent, whereas TBB is well absorbed, 0F2jdODNpno-00183-00083979-00084261 rapidly metabolized and eliminated. 0F2jdODNpno-00184-00084261-00084733 Toxicological studies are underway to characterize the risk of exposure for these 0F2jdODNpno-00185-00084733-00085016 and other novel halogenated flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00186-00085016-00085502 In conclusion, the halogenated flame retardants for which there's data have been shown 0F2jdODNpno-00187-00085502-00086014 to be environmentally and/or biologically persistent and toxic in animals. 0F2jdODNpno-00188-00086014-00086407 Many have also been shown to have impacts on human populations. 0F2jdODNpno-00189-00086407-00086911 When used in an additive mode over time, they leach into the environment 0F2jdODNpno-00190-00086911-00087217 and they have been detected in people. 0F2jdODNpno-00191-00087217-00087639 Use in a reactive mode or in polymers reduces the opportunity 0F2jdODNpno-00192-00087639-00087988 for exposure and hence reduces risk. 0F2jdODNpno-00193-00087988-00088326 Thank you for the opportunity to comment and I'm happy to answer questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00194-00088326-00088550 PANEL 1 QUESTIONS CHAIRMAN KAYE: Thank you, Dr. Birnbaum. 0F2jdODNpno-00195-00088550-00088776 Reclaiming my time, and, Mr. Stevenson, how much time? 0F2jdODNpno-00196-00088776-00088842 I have three minutes? 0F2jdODNpno-00197-00088842-00088910 Great. Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00198-00088910-00088994 I'll try to be very quick. 0F2jdODNpno-00199-00088994-00089407 So I'm going to ask two questions and I'm going to ask them together so that you can 0F2jdODNpno-00200-00089407-00089597 at least have the benefit of knowing what they are 0F2jdODNpno-00201-00089597-00089873 and then you can answer them with the remaining time, please. 0F2jdODNpno-00202-00089873-00090528 The first one is the high throughput screening that you all are doing as part of Tox-21, 0F2jdODNpno-00203-00090528-00090816 has that included the organohalogen flame retardants? 0F2jdODNpno-00204-00090816-00091548 DR. BIRNBAUM: Yes, some of the Tox-21 efforts have looked at a number of the PBDEs, of TBBPA, 0F2jdODNpno-00205-00091548-00091988 of HPCD, and some of the others, as well. 0F2jdODNpno-00206-00091988-00092339 In addition, some of the halogenated organophosphates have also been looked 0F2jdODNpno-00207-00092339-00092559 at in the rapid high throughput screening. 0F2jdODNpno-00208-00092559-00092657 CHAIRMAN KAYE: And what has that shown so far? 0F2jdODNpno-00209-00092657-00092992 DR. BIRNBAUM: They have shown that they have high levels of biological activity. 0F2jdODNpno-00210-00092992-00093187 CHAIRMAN KAYE: And is that data publicly available? 0F2jdODNpno-00211-00093187-00093330 DR. BIRNBAUM: That data is available. 0F2jdODNpno-00212-00093330-00093372 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00213-00093372-00093397 Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00214-00093397-00093791 And the second question is to my earlier public policy point. 0F2jdODNpno-00215-00093791-00094251 If the Commission goes ahead and acts as the Petitioners request or acts in some way, 0F2jdODNpno-00216-00094251-00094555 how will we know that we're actually making people safer? 0F2jdODNpno-00217-00094555-00095056 DR. BIRNBAUM: I think one of the questions that always needs to be asked 0F2jdODNpno-00218-00095056-00095554 when you use chemicals is do we need them? 0F2jdODNpno-00219-00095554-00095817 Are they really providing a safety benefit? 0F2jdODNpno-00220-00095817-00096170 I think that's the question that needs to be asked specifically with the use 0F2jdODNpno-00221-00096170-00096387 of many of these flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00222-00096387-00096950 The data is not strong, which indicate that they actually provide fire safety 0F2jdODNpno-00223-00096950-00097368 at the concentrations with which they have been used in the products. 0F2jdODNpno-00224-00097368-00098094 So I think that removing some of the chemicals from use, which has already been done 0F2jdODNpno-00225-00098094-00098662 with the PBDEs, although we have a tremendous legacy, people would talk about toxic couches 0F2jdODNpno-00226-00098662-00099151 and carpet padding and so on, what do we do with that, but removing other chemicals, 0F2jdODNpno-00227-00099151-00099591 unless we really have strong evidence that they provide fire safety, 0F2jdODNpno-00228-00099591-00099804 there really may not be a need for them. 0F2jdODNpno-00229-00099804-00099994 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Great. 0F2jdODNpno-00230-00099994-00100084 Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00231-00100084-00100261 With my time expiring, Commissioner Adler? 0F2jdODNpno-00232-00100261-00100598 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Thank you very much and welcome, Dr. Birnbaum. 0F2jdODNpno-00233-00100598-00100969 It's a pleasure and an honor to have you at the Commission's hearing. 0F2jdODNpno-00234-00100969-00101537 In your testimony, you walked through individual organohalogen chemical 0F2jdODNpno-00235-00101537-00102320 by individual organohalogen chemical and we have been advised by some industry folks 0F2jdODNpno-00236-00102320-00102821 that we should proceed chemical by chemical in addressing organohalogens. 0F2jdODNpno-00237-00102821-00103331 The Petition asks us to do something in the alternate, which is to look at organohalogens 0F2jdODNpno-00238-00103331-00103779 that are non-polymeric additives as flame retardants as a class. 0F2jdODNpno-00239-00103779-00104025 Do you have any observation one way or the other 0F2jdODNpno-00240-00104025-00104303 about how we should proceed, assuming we were to proceed? 0F2jdODNpno-00242-00108427-00108856 COMMISSIONER ADLER: So you're the head of a sister agency and you're also the Director 0F2jdODNpno-00243-00108856-00109034 of the National Toxicology Program. 0F2jdODNpno-00244-00109034-00109368 You get to look at thousands and thousands of chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00245-00109368-00109608 or at least you have the potential to look at them. 0F2jdODNpno-00246-00109608-00110139 We have arguably thousands of chemicals under our jurisdiction and so as a tiny agency, 0F2jdODNpno-00247-00110139-00110705 we have to prioritize, and so I guess my question would be of the thousands of chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00248-00110705-00111158 out there, would you consider these organohalogens to be something 0F2jdODNpno-00249-00111158-00111402 that should be worthy of a tiny agency 0F2jdODNpno-00250-00111402-00111761 with scarce resources addressing as a priority concern? 0F2jdODNpno-00251-00111761-00111963 DR. BIRNBAUM: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-00252-00111963-00112159 COMMISSIONER ADLER: No further questions at this moment. 0F2jdODNpno-00253-00112159-00112209 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00254-00112209-00112286 Commissioner Robinson? 0F2jdODNpno-00255-00112286-00112570 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Thank you so much, Dr. Birnbaum, for coming today, 0F2jdODNpno-00256-00112570-00112801 and Dr. Weiss for accompanying Dr. Birnbaum. 0F2jdODNpno-00257-00112801-00113198 I am going to follow up on Commissioner Adler's question and I'm going 0F2jdODNpno-00258-00113198-00113649 to do it the same way he did since we only have five minutes and that is ask you three questions 0F2jdODNpno-00259-00113649-00113886 and then you figure out how to sort it out. 0F2jdODNpno-00260-00113886-00114366 But in terms of grouping, because we're being asked not only to ban a group but, 0F2jdODNpno-00261-00114366-00114917 going forward, to ban things that haven't even been created that would fall into this class 0F2jdODNpno-00262-00114917-00115293 of product, and so my first question is, 0F2jdODNpno-00263-00115293-00115848 I know that a lot of institutions have accepted the fact that grouping is appropriate 0F2jdODNpno-00264-00115848-00116275 for regulatory purposes, as long as you have the structural similarities that are needed, 0F2jdODNpno-00265-00116275-00117075 but my understanding is that if there are structural differences within a grouping 0F2jdODNpno-00266-00117075-00117602 that would result in a different endpoint, that that's something that we need to know about. 0F2jdODNpno-00267-00117602-00118005 So I'm interested in your comments as to whether you would expect there 0F2jdODNpno-00268-00118005-00118381 to be any structural differences in chemicals that fall 0F2jdODNpno-00269-00118381-00118985 within this non-polymeric additive organohalogen flame retardants group 0F2jdODNpno-00270-00118985-00119198 that would perhaps have a different endpoint. 0F2jdODNpno-00271-00119198-00119546 I was particularly interested in the written testimony that you submitted because you said 0F2jdODNpno-00272-00119546-00120103 that TBB, to quote you, "is well absorbed, rapidly metabolized and eliminated." 0F2jdODNpno-00273-00120103-00120522 So it seems to be different than some of the other chemicals in that group. 0F2jdODNpno-00274-00120522-00120709 So I'm just interested in your comments on that. 0F2jdODNpno-00275-00120709-00121053 DR. BIRNBAUM: So structural differences can be associated 0F2jdODNpno-00276-00121053-00121470 with different health or environmental impacts. 0F2jdODNpno-00277-00121470-00121785 However, that doesn't mean they don't have impacts. 0F2jdODNpno-00278-00121785-00122475 The flame retardants, as a class, are impacting many, many -- thank you -- 0F2jdODNpno-00279-00122475-00123079 many, many different health systems and health impacts and I think our greatest concern today, 0F2jdODNpno-00280-00123079-00123408 more so even than the cancer, which has been shown for the flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00281-00123408-00123782 that have been tested, both some of the halogenated organophosphates, 0F2jdODNpno-00282-00123782-00124229 which are very structural different than, for example, the PBDEs, but they've all been shown 0F2jdODNpno-00283-00124229-00124604 to be carcinogenic in animal studies, but I think a lot of our concern is 0F2jdODNpno-00284-00124604-00125129 for the developmental impacts, and what we are finding is that whether there's some 0F2jdODNpno-00285-00125129-00125603 of the halogenated organophosphates, whether they're the rapidly-eliminated 0F2jdODNpno-00286-00125603-00126366 or the persistent halogenated organic compounds, what we're finding is that they cause a spectrum 0F2jdODNpno-00287-00126366-00126835 of adverse developmental effects affecting the developing neurological system, 0F2jdODNpno-00288-00126835-00127255 affecting the endocrine system, affecting the reproductive system, and are associated 0F2jdODNpno-00289-00127255-00127610 with persistent long-term effects in the next generation. 0F2jdODNpno-00290-00127610-00128191 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: And so in your opinion as one of the experts in the flame retardant field, 0F2jdODNpno-00291-00128191-00128522 would it be appropriate to group this group 0F2jdODNpno-00292-00128522-00129254 of non-polymeric additive organohalogen flame retardants into one group in terms 0F2jdODNpno-00293-00129254-00129511 of this Commission making a determination about a ban? 0F2jdODNpno-00294-00129511-00129755 DR. BIRNBAUM: I think it is appropriate. 0F2jdODNpno-00295-00129755-00129878 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00296-00129878-00130295 You've been quoted as saying that when you first looked at this Petition, 0F2jdODNpno-00297-00130295-00130664 that there was no way -- you thought that there was no way of condemning an entire class 0F2jdODNpno-00298-00130664-00131084 of chemicals but then you said that after taking a closer look at the science, 0F2jdODNpno-00299-00131084-00131443 that you thought the Petitioners were "onto something" to use your words. 0F2jdODNpno-00300-00131443-00131552 Could you just explain that to us? 0F2jdODNpno-00301-00131552-00131878 DR. BIRNBAUM: I think it's not only taking a closer look at the science, 0F2jdODNpno-00302-00131878-00132224 I think it's really taking a closer look at what the Petitioner's proposing, 0F2jdODNpno-00303-00132224-00132577 which is not to ban all halogenated flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00304-00132577-00133234 It's to ban them in specific classes of products and it's also to ban those that are additive, 0F2jdODNpno-00305-00133234-00133824 not to ban those that are in polymeric form, and the advantage of the polymeric compounds is 0F2jdODNpno-00306-00133824-00134354 that they have much less potential to escape into the environment 0F2jdODNpno-00307-00134354-00134749 and therefore to expose wildlife and people. 0F2jdODNpno-00308-00134749-00135232 We know that for all the compounds that are used in an additive mode, they do get to us. 0F2jdODNpno-00309-00135232-00135502 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00310-00135502-00135637 I have nothing further. 0F2jdODNpno-00311-00135637-00135789 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Thank you, Commissioner Robinson. 0F2jdODNpno-00312-00135789-00135867 Commissioner Buerkle? 0F2jdODNpno-00313-00135867-00136280 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and let me begin by saying thank you 0F2jdODNpno-00314-00136280-00136610 to Dr. Birnbaum and Dr. Weiss for being here this morning 0F2jdODNpno-00315-00136610-00136771 and providing your expert testimony. 0F2jdODNpno-00316-00136771-00136940 We really do appreciate it. 0F2jdODNpno-00317-00136940-00137229 I just want to follow up on my two colleagues, Commissioner Adler 0F2jdODNpno-00318-00137229-00137456 and Commissioner Robinson's questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00319-00137456-00137822 So Commissioner Adler asked about whether or not it would make sense 0F2jdODNpno-00320-00137822-00138349 to prioritize among all of the chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00321-00138349-00138466 I think I have that right. 0F2jdODNpno-00322-00138466-00139000 But specifically in this group of chemicals that we're being asked to consider now a ban 0F2jdODNpno-00323-00139000-00139491 on because, to your words, the reality of what -- 0F2jdODNpno-00324-00139491-00139943 our resources are limited and it's very expensive and it takes a lot of time. 0F2jdODNpno-00325-00139943-00140602 So if we had to prioritize within this group of chemicals that we're being asked to ban, 0F2jdODNpno-00326-00140602-00140912 could you suggest an order for us? 0F2jdODNpno-00327-00141211-00141661 DR. BIRNBAUM: Commissioner, that's a very difficult question because some 0F2jdODNpno-00328-00141661-00142194 of the different types of organohalogen flame retardants do very different things 0F2jdODNpno-00329-00142194-00142883 and I don't think that I am the appropriate person to say whether I would weigh cancer 0F2jdODNpno-00330-00142883-00143256 or developmental neurological effects one over the other. 0F2jdODNpno-00331-00143256-00143673 We know that the organophosphates, which have been shown to be carcinogens, 0F2jdODNpno-00332-00143673-00144081 are also now being shown to be developmental neurotoxicants. 0F2jdODNpno-00333-00144081-00144643 WE know that some of the halogenated, the persistent chemicals, are shown not only 0F2jdODNpno-00334-00144643-00145182 to be carcinogens but are shown to be associated with the increase in diabetes and obesity 0F2jdODNpno-00335-00145182-00145530 in offspring and we've shown that they're developmental neurotoxicants. 0F2jdODNpno-00336-00145530-00146179 So I think that I would have difficulty saying which of these are -- 0F2jdODNpno-00337-00146179-00146622 which of the very large members of the existing class or the potentially 0F2jdODNpno-00338-00146622-00147417 to be synthesized class are worse than the others but I would suggest that essentially all 0F2jdODNpno-00339-00147417-00147932 of them will have the potential to cause adverse effects, some kind of adverse effects. 0F2jdODNpno-00340-00147932-00148122 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00341-00148122-00148283 I don't have any more questions, Mr. Chairman. 0F2jdODNpno-00342-00148283-00148399 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Thank you, Commissioner Buerkle. 0F2jdODNpno-00343-00148399-00148479 Commissioner Mohorovic? 0F2jdODNpno-00344-00148479-00148611 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 0F2jdODNpno-00345-00148611-00148782 We're moving along very quickly, Mr. Chairman. 0F2jdODNpno-00346-00148782-00149111 I'm going to attempt to answer a question that you posed, if you don't mind, 0F2jdODNpno-00347-00149111-00149302 although I recognize it wasn't to me. 0F2jdODNpno-00348-00149302-00149640 You asked the panelists if we did move forward with a rulemaking, 0F2jdODNpno-00349-00149640-00150072 how would we really understand if we were successful and I would offer this 0F2jdODNpno-00350-00150072-00150383 as a solution by virtue of policy. 0F2jdODNpno-00351-00150383-00150651 In our midyear review, we as a Commission unanimously committed 0F2jdODNpno-00352-00150651-00150940 to retrospective review in prospective rulemaking. 0F2jdODNpno-00353-00150940-00151316 So I would have confidence that if we did move forward in a rule, 0F2jdODNpno-00354-00151316-00151739 we would embed in there the kind of retrospective review to look back 0F2jdODNpno-00355-00151739-00152122 on our activity to determine whether or not we were in fact successful. 0F2jdODNpno-00356-00152122-00152309 So I'd just offer that. 0F2jdODNpno-00357-00152309-00152645 Thank you, Dr. Weiss, Dr. Birnbaum, for participating today. 0F2jdODNpno-00358-00152645-00152804 I have two questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00359-00152804-00152969 I hope I have time to get to them. 0F2jdODNpno-00360-00152969-00153434 First is on a particular chemical, Hexobromocyclododecane. 0F2jdODNpno-00361-00153434-00153662 So you referenced it in your testimony. 0F2jdODNpno-00362-00153662-00154043 Chairman, are you impressed that I was able to say that without stumbling? 0F2jdODNpno-00363-00154043-00154087 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-00364-00154087-00154471 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: There were two government studies, Dr. Birnbaum and Dr. Weiss, 0F2jdODNpno-00365-00154471-00155046 that looked at flame retardants pursuant to a CPSC open rulemaking on upholstered furniture. 0F2jdODNpno-00366-00155046-00155562 The first one was an NASNRC study in 2000. 0F2jdODNpno-00367-00155562-00155687 You're nodding your head. 0F2jdODNpno-00368-00155687-00155842 That answers my first question. 0F2jdODNpno-00369-00155842-00156057 Are you familiar with the study? 0F2jdODNpno-00370-00156057-00156398 And, you know, so the quote here that, after looking at that, is "despite a lack 0F2jdODNpno-00371-00156398-00157033 of a complete database, the subcommittee concluded that the following FRs can be used 0F2jdODNpno-00372-00157033-00157415 on residential furniture with minimal risk, even under worse case assumption" 0F2jdODNpno-00373-00157415-00157715 and Hexobromocyclododecane was listed there. 0F2jdODNpno-00374-00157715-00158248 And then in 2001, there was a CPSC study that looked at flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00375-00158248-00158878 for upholstered furniture again and the quote was that of the four and HBCD was listed 0F2jdODNpno-00376-00158878-00159308 "would clearly not be considered hazardous to consumers as defined under the FHSA." 0F2jdODNpno-00377-00159308-00159539 So that's pretty specific look. 0F2jdODNpno-00378-00159539-00160101 The questions that I have for both panelists is did either of you participate in the study and, 0F2jdODNpno-00379-00160101-00160568 if so, if you're recommending us to ban or move on HBCD, 0F2jdODNpno-00380-00160568-00160952 how's the science chanced to yield a different decision? 0F2jdODNpno-00381-00160952-00161318 DR. BIRNBAUM: I'll take that because that study was done by someone who worked 0F2jdODNpno-00382-00161318-00161562 in my division when I was at U.S. EPA. 0F2jdODNpno-00383-00161562-00162123 Mike Hughes was the prime author on that and it was done with collaborators here at CPSC 0F2jdODNpno-00384-00162123-00162714 and what that was done was a study where they looked at the dermal absorption and I'm trying 0F2jdODNpno-00385-00162714-00163446 to remember, this is 15 years ago, whether it was -- I know it was in vitro using -- 0F2jdODNpno-00386-00163446-00163705 and also maybe that we did rat studies in vivo. 0F2jdODNpno-00387-00163705-00163837 I'm trying to remember -- COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00388-00163837-00163910 DR. BIRNBAUM: -- exactly. 0F2jdODNpno-00389-00163910-00164196 The point was, is that, these are very big chemicals that are going 0F2jdODNpno-00390-00164196-00164659 to be very poorly absorbed by the skin and that was the question that was asked. 0F2jdODNpno-00391-00164659-00164845 Are they going to be absorbed through the skin? 0F2jdODNpno-00392-00164845-00165517 The question was not asked, are they going to escape from the fabrics into the environment 0F2jdODNpno-00393-00165517-00165914 and then be able to be absorbed orally or by inhalation? 0F2jdODNpno-00394-00165914-00166043 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00395-00166043-00166485 DR. BIRNBAUM: And I think that's been a tremendous growth in our understanding 0F2jdODNpno-00396-00166485-00166957 about things that exposures are not always what you think they might be, 0F2jdODNpno-00397-00166957-00167378 that sitting on the cushion is not the problem that it's going to come through your clothes, 0F2jdODNpno-00398-00167378-00167955 but that in fact by sitting on the cushion, you may be expressing it into the dust 0F2jdODNpno-00399-00167955-00168186 and from hence it will get into your body by a different route. 0F2jdODNpno-00400-00168186-00168499 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you very, very much for that explanation. 0F2jdODNpno-00401-00168499-00168865 And one other question on another specific chemical you referenced 0F2jdODNpno-00402-00168865-00169143 in your testimony on TBBPA. 0F2jdODNpno-00403-00169143-00169568 Specifically a different -- somebody who'll be testifying later today 0F2jdODNpno-00404-00169568-00170227 in their testimony suggested that TBBPA wouldn't be under the scope of the Petition by virtue 0F2jdODNpno-00405-00170227-00170810 of its inclusion or incorporation used in motherboards or that part of the electronics 0F2jdODNpno-00406-00170810-00171107 and therefore wouldn't be in the external casings. 0F2jdODNpno-00407-00171107-00171658 However, my question is the following in terms of the movement of the industry with TBBPA. 0F2jdODNpno-00408-00171658-00172333 Could TBBPA be used as an additive, as a substitute for casings 0F2jdODNpno-00409-00172333-00172756 which would therefore put it under scope if its use changes by virtue 0F2jdODNpno-00410-00172756-00172911 of the way the Petition is written? 0F2jdODNpno-00411-00172911-00173521 DR. BIRNBAUM: So my understanding is that TBBPA's use has increased in an additive mode 0F2jdODNpno-00412-00173521-00174157 since the reduced use and then the ban on the DECA BDE which has been used 0F2jdODNpno-00413-00174157-00174592 in heavy plastic casings and especially in heavy fabrics, 0F2jdODNpno-00414-00174592-00174847 so that the use has increased in an additive mode. 0F2jdODNpno-00415-00174847-00175334 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Beyond what was stated or what's known right now in its general use 0F2jdODNpno-00416-00175334-00175739 in -- would it be electronic motherboards or the interior of componentry? 0F2jdODNpno-00417-00175739-00175811 DR. BIRNBAUM: Correct. 0F2jdODNpno-00418-00175811-00175999 That it uses -- that there has been a shift. 0F2jdODNpno-00419-00175999-00176462 For many, many years, TBBPA, which is the largest brominated flame retardant -- 0F2jdODNpno-00420-00176462-00177188 largest brominated flame retardant was used in 90:10 percent ratios of reactive to additive 0F2jdODNpno-00421-00177188-00177824 and that additive percentage is increasing is my understanding, so, and the more that it's used 0F2jdODNpno-00422-00177824-00178089 in additive, the more opportunity there will be for human exposure. 0F2jdODNpno-00423-00178089-00178207 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00424-00178207-00178355 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 0F2jdODNpno-00425-00178355-00178533 CHAIRMAN KAYE: Thank you, Commissioner Mohorovic. 0F2jdODNpno-00426-00178533-00178903 This will end this round and I want to thank again Dr. Birnbaum for your testimony 0F2jdODNpno-00427-00178903-00179046 and Dr. Weiss for your appearance. 0F2jdODNpno-00428-00179046-00179428 I promise the both of you, you should not take us ending now 0F2jdODNpno-00429-00179428-00179675 as indicative of a lack of more questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00430-00179675-00179972 We could probably spend hours with just the two of you here 0F2jdODNpno-00431-00179972-00180173 and that will probably be the case with all the panels. 0F2jdODNpno-00432-00180173-00180299 We're now going to move on to Panel 2. 0F2jdODNpno-00433-00180299-00180459 Thank you again. 0F2jdODNpno-00434-00180801-00181403 PANEL 2 COMMISSIONER ADLER: As you've noticed, Chairman Kaye has departed. 0F2jdODNpno-00435-00181403-00181578 The one thing he didn't say was 0F2jdODNpno-00436-00181578-00182267 that he sustained the injury during a Thanksgiving Day neighborhood football game 0F2jdODNpno-00437-00182267-00182550 and his team won. 0F2jdODNpno-00438-00182550-00183267 So I said is that after you left or before you left but he insisted that it was before. 0F2jdODNpno-00439-00183267-00183587 He was there through the last bitter moments. 0F2jdODNpno-00440-00183587-00183958 Again, just begging your indulgence, if you could please stick 0F2jdODNpno-00441-00183958-00184507 within the five-minute period, and the panelists now are Mr. William Wallace 0F2jdODNpno-00442-00184507-00185466 from Consumers Union, Eve Gartner from Earthjustice, Dr. Simona Balan, Dr. Arlene Blum, 0F2jdODNpno-00443-00185466-00185857 and Dr. Miriam Diamond, both of whom are on here by the phone, and, 0F2jdODNpno-00444-00185857-00186125 Mr. Wallace, if you want to begin. 0F2jdODNpno-00445-00186125-00186600 MR. WALLACE: Thank you, Commissioner Adler, and the entire Commission. 0F2jdODNpno-00446-00186600-00187050 On behalf of Consumers Union, the Public Policy and Advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, 0F2jdODNpno-00447-00187050-00187517 thanks for the opportunity to present to the Commission on Requesting Rulemaking 0F2jdODNpno-00448-00187517-00187751 on Certain Flame Retardant Chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00449-00187751-00188123 Consumers Union joined Earthjustice and the Consumer Federation of America as well 0F2jdODNpno-00450-00188123-00188568 as nine other co-Petitioners in filing this Petition earlier this year. 0F2jdODNpno-00451-00188568-00189049 American consumers are widely exposed from products in their homes that could pose -- 0F2jdODNpno-00452-00189049-00189491 to potentially toxic flame retardant chemicals that could pose serious health risks 0F2jdODNpno-00453-00189491-00189810 and may not actually provide significantly better fire protection 0F2jdODNpno-00454-00189810-00190143 than other available technologies without these chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00455-00190143-00190537 Current regulation does not adequately address the health hazards of these chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00456-00190537-00190967 and CPSC has the authority to protect consumers from the potential risk of harm. 0F2jdODNpno-00457-00190967-00191521 It is for these reasons that Consumers Union strongly supports the Petition before you. 0F2jdODNpno-00458-00191521-00191782 While our organization has not conducted independent testing 0F2jdODNpno-00459-00191782-00192100 on this issue, we have followed it closely. 0F2jdODNpno-00460-00192100-00192537 Consumers rightly expect the products in their homes to meet flammability standards 0F2jdODNpno-00461-00192537-00192938 but not at the expense of being exposed to potentially toxic chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00462-00192938-00193413 CPSC should ban the use of non-polymeric additive organohalogen flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00463-00193413-00193800 in children's products and other specified product categories 0F2jdODNpno-00464-00193800-00194353 under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act and encourage manufacturers to instead use barriers 0F2jdODNpno-00465-00194353-00194636 and inherently non-flammable materials. 0F2jdODNpno-00466-00194636-00194973 In support of the Petition, we plan to submit comments to the Docket 0F2jdODNpno-00467-00194973-00195164 which will include the following points. 0F2jdODNpno-00468-00195164-00195479 First, the scope of the Petition is clear. 0F2jdODNpno-00469-00195479-00196025 It covers organohalogen flame retardants in additive form and only those in additive form 0F2jdODNpno-00470-00196025-00196321 because they are not chemically bound to the products containing them 0F2jdODNpno-00471-00196321-00196923 and thus have a greater potential to migrate out of products, resulting in human exposure. 0F2jdODNpno-00472-00196923-00197409 The specific product categories covered by the Petition are those for which it demonstrates 0F2jdODNpno-00473-00197409-00197789 that the flame retardants have been intentionally added or are often present 0F2jdODNpno-00474-00197789-00198083 in a large percentage of the products. 0F2jdODNpno-00475-00198083-00198454 Second, consumers can be exposed to these chemicals for migration 0F2jdODNpno-00476-00198454-00198690 or disintegration from household products. 0F2jdODNpno-00477-00198690-00199137 Numerous studies have shown these chemicals presence in indoor air and house dust 0F2jdODNpno-00478-00199137-00199514 and it is reasonable to conclude that they can persist in the indoor environment, 0F2jdODNpno-00479-00199514-00199905 leading to chronic human exposure from household products. 0F2jdODNpno-00480-00199905-00200291 Studies by EPA and Massachusetts have both found that inhalation may account 0F2jdODNpno-00481-00200291-00200615 for a significant proportion of exposures. 0F2jdODNpno-00482-00200615-00200829 With regard to vulnerable populations, 0F2jdODNpno-00483-00200829-00201311 additional studies have found significant exposure of pregnant women to these chemicals, 0F2jdODNpno-00484-00201311-00201780 leading to exposure by fetuses and newborn infants, as well as particularly elevated levels 0F2jdODNpno-00485-00201780-00202293 of exposure by young children, likely due to their frequent hand-to-mouth behaviors. 0F2jdODNpno-00486-00202293-00202764 Third, CPSC has the authority to regulate products containing these chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00487-00202764-00203262 We agree with the Petition that non-polymeric additive organohalogen flame retardants meet the 0F2jdODNpno-00488-00203262-00203823 FHSA definition of toxic in that they have the capacity to produce substantial personal injury 0F2jdODNpno-00489-00203823-00204121 or illness and therefore they should be considered 0F2jdODNpno-00490-00204121-00204427 and designated as hazardous substances. 0F2jdODNpno-00491-00204427-00204773 The Petition documents significant research showing that human exposure 0F2jdODNpno-00492-00204773-00205354 to organohalogen flame retardants is associated with long-term chronic adverse health problems 0F2jdODNpno-00493-00205354-00205752 with reproductive, neurological, and carcinogenic effects. 0F2jdODNpno-00494-00205752-00205953 We furthermore agree with the Petition 0F2jdODNpno-00495-00205953-00206433 in that the covered product categories meet the definition of banned hazardous substances 0F2jdODNpno-00496-00206433-00206721 when they contain the chemicals at issue. 0F2jdODNpno-00497-00206721-00207369 We feel labeling would be inadequate to serve public health and safety 0F2jdODNpno-00498-00207369-00207750 since consumers' knowledge of the hazard is unlikely to enable them to take steps 0F2jdODNpno-00499-00207750-00208026 to sufficiently protect themselves. 0F2jdODNpno-00500-00208026-00208484 Consumers cannot reasonably be expected to successfully collect and dispose 0F2jdODNpno-00501-00208484-00208973 of the ubiquitous dust in their homes that is contaminated with the specified flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00502-00208973-00209323 that can have long-term adverse effects on their health. 0F2jdODNpno-00503-00209323-00209690 Fourth, it is appropriate for the Commission to make this a priority. 0F2jdODNpno-00504-00209690-00210276 The hazard from the specified flame retardants meets many, if not all, of the requirements 0F2jdODNpno-00505-00210276-00210525 to be a CPSC priority for action. 0F2jdODNpno-00506-00210525-00210998 The probability of exposure is high because the products are ones that most people use daily, 0F2jdODNpno-00507-00210998-00211490 such as chairs, couches, mattress pads, computers, and other electronics. 0F2jdODNpno-00508-00211490-00211855 Children, a vulnerable population, are at particular risk because they tend 0F2jdODNpno-00509-00211855-00212198 to spend more time on the floor in proximity to house dust, 0F2jdODNpno-00510-00212198-00212388 have frequent hand-to-mouth behaviors, 0F2jdODNpno-00511-00212388-00212678 and may be exposed during critical developmental periods, 0F2jdODNpno-00512-00212678-00213206 and continued use of these chemicals is likely to lead to future illness and injury. 0F2jdODNpno-00513-00213206-00213637 In addition, current regulation is inadequate, leaving consumers at risk. 0F2jdODNpno-00514-00213637-00213909 The Toxic Substances Control Act is widely considered not 0F2jdODNpno-00515-00213909-00214323 to give EPA the authority it would need to meaningfully protect the public 0F2jdODNpno-00516-00214323-00214704 and to allow chemicals on the market that are not established as safe. 0F2jdODNpno-00517-00214704-00215157 Moreover, while there are current congressional efforts to fix the law, it is impossible to know 0F2jdODNpno-00518-00215157-00215573 if a bill will pass or be effective at protecting public health. 0F2jdODNpno-00519-00215573-00216042 Action taken by CPSC to address this Petition would not duplicate existing protections 0F2jdODNpno-00520-00216042-00216215 for consumers. 0F2jdODNpno-00521-00216215-00216521 In conclusion, we urge you to grant the Petition and protect consumers 0F2jdODNpno-00522-00216521-00216684 from the documented health risks. 0F2jdODNpno-00523-00216684-00216800 Thank you for your attention. 0F2jdODNpno-00524-00216800-00217041 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Impeccable sense of timing, Mr. Wallace. 0F2jdODNpno-00525-00217041-00217311 I hope all the other witnesses will be as effective. 0F2jdODNpno-00526-00217311-00217356 Ms. Gartner? 0F2jdODNpno-00527-00217356-00217740 MS. GARTNER: Thank you, Commissioner Adler. 0F2jdODNpno-00528-00217740-00217969 I am Eve Gartner, a staff attorney at Earthjustice. 0F2jdODNpno-00529-00217969-00218417 Along with the Consumer Federation of America, I represent the Petitioners here. 0F2jdODNpno-00530-00218417-00218529 Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00531-00218529-00219015 I appreciate the opportunity to testify today and I also appreciate the very careful study 0F2jdODNpno-00532-00219015-00219277 that the Commission is giving to this matter. 0F2jdODNpno-00533-00219277-00219777 As you know, the Petition asks for regulations under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act 0F2jdODNpno-00534-00219777-00220323 to protect consumers from non-polymeric organohalogen flame retardants in additive form 0F2jdODNpno-00535-00220323-00220694 in four categories of consumer products. 0F2jdODNpno-00536-00220694-00221446 Under the FHSA, the legal standard that we're asking you to operate under is 0F2jdODNpno-00537-00221446-00222137 that if a substance has the capacity to produce personal injury or illness through ingestion, 0F2jdODNpno-00538-00222137-00222815 inhalation, or absorption, then the chemical or the product is toxic, and if a substance 0F2jdODNpno-00539-00222815-00223428 or product is toxic and, in addition, it may cause substantial personal injury 0F2jdODNpno-00540-00223428-00224075 or personal illness as a proximate result of customary or reasonably foreseeable use, 0F2jdODNpno-00541-00224075-00224476 then it meets the definition of a hazardous substance under the FHSA, 0F2jdODNpno-00542-00224476-00224841 and if labeling will not protect against the injury, 0F2jdODNpno-00543-00224841-00225330 as it would not here, then the CPSC must ban it. 0F2jdODNpno-00544-00225330-00225917 Dr. Birnbaum referenced PBDEs, a group of organohalogen flame retardants used 0F2jdODNpno-00545-00225917-00226286 in additive form that would be covered by this Petition. 0F2jdODNpno-00546-00226286-00226662 The PBDEs are a case study for how federal regulations 0F2jdODNpno-00547-00226662-00227177 and policies are not now protecting us from products containing chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00548-00227177-00227450 that are well understood to be toxic. 0F2jdODNpno-00549-00227450-00227894 For decades, PBDE flame retardants were used extensively in a wide range 0F2jdODNpno-00550-00227894-00228231 of consumer products and, as Dr. Birnbaum explained, 0F2jdODNpno-00551-00228231-00228644 they present very serious human health risks and because they are persistent 0F2jdODNpno-00552-00228644-00229003 and bio-accumulative, 97 percent of people who live 0F2jdODNpno-00553-00229003-00229471 in the United States have measurable quantities of PBDEs in their blood. 0F2jdODNpno-00554-00229471-00229848 Children have the highest body burdens and children from communities 0F2jdODNpno-00555-00229848-00230142 of color have the very highest levels. 0F2jdODNpno-00556-00230142-00230742 So in the face of what was known a decade ago about the toxicity of PBDEs, 0F2jdODNpno-00557-00230742-00231194 EPA negotiated a voluntary phase-out of their domestic production, 0F2jdODNpno-00558-00231194-00231376 but there are two fundamental ways 0F2jdODNpno-00559-00231376-00231880 in which consumers are still unprotected against PBDE exposures. 0F2jdODNpno-00560-00231880-00232541 First, although PBDEs are not manufactured in the U.S., they are still being made overseas, 0F2jdODNpno-00561-00232541-00232919 yet no U.S. law or regulation prohibits the importation 0F2jdODNpno-00562-00232919-00233292 and sale of products containing any PBDE. 0F2jdODNpno-00563-00233292-00233791 Some states have banned the sale of some products containing some PBDEs 0F2jdODNpno-00564-00233791-00234119 but this scattershot approach is not sufficient. 0F2jdODNpno-00565-00234119-00234648 EPA has proposed using its significant new use rule authority to prohibit the import 0F2jdODNpno-00566-00234648-00235212 of products containing PBDEs but strong industry pushback has prevented those rules, 0F2jdODNpno-00567-00235212-00235542 the SNUR Rule, from being finalized. 0F2jdODNpno-00568-00235542-00236085 So we know from manufacturers' self-reporting that children's products containing more 0F2jdODNpno-00569-00236085-00236701 than trace amounts of DECA BDE are still being sold in this country and it's possible 0F2jdODNpno-00570-00236701-00237134 that imported furniture containing Penta BDE is still being sold, as well. 0F2jdODNpno-00571-00237134-00237444 We have no way to know for sure either way. 0F2jdODNpno-00572-00237444-00238151 The importation of products containing toxic PBDEs is a major regulatory loophole. 0F2jdODNpno-00573-00238151-00238477 Granting this Petition would fill that hole. 0F2jdODNpno-00574-00238477-00238994 Second, the voluntary phase-out of PBDE production did nothing, 0F2jdODNpno-00575-00238994-00239416 as Dr. Birnbaum referenced, did nothing to protect people in the U.S. 0F2jdODNpno-00576-00239416-00240061 from the legacy exposures, the toxic furniture and poisoned toys that people already owned 0F2jdODNpno-00577-00240061-00240640 that are still in the homes of millions of people, especially in low-income communities, 0F2jdODNpno-00578-00240640-00241142 but most people keep their sofas for decades and then pass them on to their kids. 0F2jdODNpno-00579-00241142-00241781 So we're passing on essentially just toxicity for generations. 0F2jdODNpno-00580-00241781-00242410 If CPSC were to declare products containing non-polymeric organohalogens in additive form 0F2jdODNpno-00581-00242410-00242821 to be banned hazardous substances, as we've asked for, it would have the authority 0F2jdODNpno-00582-00242821-00243232 under Section 15 of the FHSA to protect consumers 0F2jdODNpno-00583-00243232-00243553 against the PBDE-laden products in their home. 0F2jdODNpno-00584-00243553-00243827 So how do we learn from the past? 0F2jdODNpno-00585-00243827-00244559 Obviously manufacturers have replaced PBDEs with other non-polymeric halogenated flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00586-00244559-00244884 and the mounting evidence is that they are similarly toxic. 0F2jdODNpno-00587-00244884-00245041 That's not a huge surprise. 0F2jdODNpno-00588-00245041-00245575 It's a basic fact that chemicals with similar structures are similarly toxic. 0F2jdODNpno-00589-00245575-00246284 So all additive non-polymeric organohalogen flame retardants bear the structural similarity 0F2jdODNpno-00590-00246284-00246494 of a common functional group. 0F2jdODNpno-00591-00246494-00246977 They have shared physical, chemical, environmental fate and toxicity properties. 0F2jdODNpno-00592-00246977-00247359 They are all likely to be toxic within the meaning of the FHSA. 0F2jdODNpno-00593-00247359-00247639 They should be regulated as a class. 0F2jdODNpno-00594-00247639-00248003 We should not continue to make the mistakes we made with PBDEs. 0F2jdODNpno-00595-00248003-00248056 Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00596-00248056-00248267 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00597-00248267-00248451 Dr. Balan? 0F2jdODNpno-00598-00248581-00249117 DR. BALAN: Good morning and thank you for the opportunity to speak. 0F2jdODNpno-00599-00249117-00249201 Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00600-00249201-00249573 So I'm Simona Balan, a scientist with the Green Science Policy Institute. 0F2jdODNpno-00601-00249573-00250246 I am one of the co-Petitioners, and I would like to make the point today as to why it's important 0F2jdODNpno-00602-00250246-00250844 to address the entire class of organohalogen flame retardants non-polymeric in additive form, 0F2jdODNpno-00603-00250844-00251269 and I believe the example of Penta BDE really puts this into perspective. 0F2jdODNpno-00604-00251269-00251767 So in order to prevent what the CPSC estimated in 2008 0F2jdODNpno-00605-00251767-00252459 as 30 preventable small open flame furniture fire deaths, Penta BDE was added to furniture 0F2jdODNpno-00606-00252459-00253151 that ended up in 97 percent of the U.S. population, which is over 300 million people, 0F2jdODNpno-00607-00253151-00253729 and even though Penta BDE was phased out, similar organohalogen flame retardants continue 0F2jdODNpno-00608-00253729-00254187 to be used in the four product categories mentioned in the Petition. 0F2jdODNpno-00609-00254187-00254441 Next slide, please. 0F2jdODNpno-00610-00254441-00255139 And more and more scientific evidence is emerging that these chemicals share properties 0F2jdODNpno-00611-00255139-00255737 and in Dr. David Epel's, Professor Murray at Stanford University's words, 0F2jdODNpno-00612-00255737-00256060 "The properties of organohalogen flame retardants as a class can lead 0F2jdODNpno-00613-00256060-00256328 to adverse effects for human health." 0F2jdODNpno-00614-00256328-00256700 So what exactly are these properties? 0F2jdODNpno-00615-00256700-00256859 Next slide, please. 0F2jdODNpno-00616-00256859-00257382 This is also from Dr. Epel's research and his collaborators but I would like you to understand 0F2jdODNpno-00617-00257382-00257830 that organohalogens are not natural to our biochemistry. 0F2jdODNpno-00618-00257830-00258330 Our cells were not developed, while being exposed to such chemicals, 0F2jdODNpno-00619-00258330-00258686 and so they're not designed to address these chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00620-00258686-00259180 Our cells are actually pretty good at recognizing certain toxics or removing them 0F2jdODNpno-00621-00259180-00259929 from the cell but organohalogens make it past our defenses and they can persist 0F2jdODNpno-00622-00259929-00260382 for a long time inside the cells and they're not removed by the cell detoxifiers. 0F2jdODNpno-00623-00260382-00260926 In new research by Professor Ambro Umbden from the University of California 0F2jdODNpno-00624-00260926-00261600 at San Diego has actually found that not only are they unrecognized by the cell responses 0F2jdODNpno-00625-00261600-00261859 by they can also inhibit the cell's defenses, 0F2jdODNpno-00626-00261859-00262342 making them less able to deal with other toxicants. 0F2jdODNpno-00627-00262342-00262678 Next slide, please. 0F2jdODNpno-00628-00262678-00263130 And we are still catching up with the research on PBDEs. 0F2jdODNpno-00629-00263130-00263426 Just this year, after the Petition was submitted, 0F2jdODNpno-00630-00263426-00263915 more papers came out on the adverse health effects from PBDEs 0F2jdODNpno-00631-00263915-00264368 and understanding the mechanisms through which these adverse health effects are happening. 0F2jdODNpno-00632-00264368-00264764 For instance, late puberty in girls, increased risk of preterm births, 0F2jdODNpno-00633-00264764-00264989 impaired executive functioning in young children. 0F2jdODNpno-00634-00264989-00265545 So these are really important adverse health effects that we should consider. 0F2jdODNpno-00635-00265545-00266132 Also, another research paper has analyzed 35 brominated flame retardants that are used 0F2jdODNpno-00636-00266132-00266792 as PBDE replacements and concluded that they have similar-enough physical-chemical properties 0F2jdODNpno-00637-00266792-00267318 in terms of persistence by accumulation potential, potential for lonase transport, that, 0F2jdODNpno-00638-00267318-00267861 in the author's words, "they cannot be regarded as suitable replacements to PBDEs." 0F2jdODNpno-00639-00267861-00268032 Next slide, please. 0F2jdODNpno-00640-00268032-00268548 So we are already seeing government agencies addressing the entire class 0F2jdODNpno-00641-00268548-00268720 of organohalogen flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00642-00268720-00269179 For instance, Biomonitoring in California placed the entire class of brominated 0F2jdODNpno-00643-00269179-00269610 and chlorinated organic compounds used as flame retardants on their authoritative list. 0F2jdODNpno-00644-00269610-00270020 Their Scientific Guidance Panel reviewed this class between 2008 and 2009 0F2jdODNpno-00645-00270020-00270488 and found enough risk of exposure and adverse health effects 0F2jdODNpno-00646-00270488-00271052 to warrant including this entire class, including chemicals that haven't 0F2jdODNpno-00647-00271052-00271658 yet been marketed that are still to be developed within this class. 0F2jdODNpno-00648-00271658-00271865 Next slide, please. 0F2jdODNpno-00649-00271865-00272120 So this quote from Drs. 0F2jdODNpno-00650-00272120-00272676 Needleman and Landrigan was written in 1994 but I think it's still incredibly timely, 0F2jdODNpno-00651-00272676-00273105 that "we are conducting a massive clinical toxicological trial and our children 0F2jdODNpno-00652-00273105-00273498 and our children's children are the experimental subjects." 0F2jdODNpno-00653-00273498-00274017 So it's clearly time to start ending this experimental trial 0F2jdODNpno-00654-00274017-00274373 and the CPSC does have the authority to help protect consumers 0F2jdODNpno-00655-00274373-00274757 from organohalogen flame retardants in this product category 0F2jdODNpno-00656-00274757-00275352 and we as co-Petitioners selected these four product categories because we know 0F2jdODNpno-00657-00275352-00275774 that these are the ones where consumers are most likely to be exposed 0F2jdODNpno-00658-00275774-00276095 when the organohalogen flame retardants are used in additive form 0F2jdODNpno-00659-00276095-00276600 and when they are non-polymerics, so they're easily taken up inside the cells. 0F2jdODNpno-00660-00276600-00276969 So thank you for your time and for the opportunity to provide comments 0F2jdODNpno-00661-00276969-00277185 and I'm welcome to answer any questions. 0F2jdODNpno-00662-00277185-00277335 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00663-00277335-00277797 We now have Dr. Arlene Blum on the telephone and Dr. Miriam Diamond. 0F2jdODNpno-00664-00277797-00278082 I'm going to call on Dr. Blum first. 0F2jdODNpno-00665-00278082-00278439 Dr. Blum, can you hear us? 0F2jdODNpno-00666-00278439-00278658 (No response.) 0F2jdODNpno-00667-00278805-00279556 COMMISSIONER ADLER: I have no idea. 0F2jdODNpno-00668-00279556-00279839 Dr. Blum, can you hear us? 0F2jdODNpno-00669-00279839-00280479 Dr. Blum? (No response.) 0F2jdODNpno-00670-00280479-00280688 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00671-00280688-00280882 Well, let's see about DR. BLUM: Hi. 0F2jdODNpno-00672-00280882-00281064 I just turned my mute off. 0F2jdODNpno-00673-00281064-00281146 Okay, good. 0F2jdODNpno-00674-00281146-00281231 I'm on the phone. 0F2jdODNpno-00675-00281231-00281757 Thank you very much, and I'm Arlene Blum. 0F2jdODNpno-00676-00281757-00282093 I'm the Executive Director of the Green Science Policy Institute 0F2jdODNpno-00677-00282093-00282534 and I'm also the Visiting Scholar in Chemistry at UC Berkeley 0F2jdODNpno-00678-00282534-00283114 and I really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you remote today and I'm going to speak 0F2jdODNpno-00679-00283114-00283596 to you about the topic of regrettable substitution because that is one 0F2jdODNpno-00680-00283596-00284401 of the major reasons that it is imperative to consider the whole class 0F2jdODNpno-00681-00284401-00284944 of organohalogen flame retardants and the classic in my Slide Number 2, 0F2jdODNpno-00682-00284944-00285660 you can see on the left, the flame retardant called Decabromodiphenyl ether. 0F2jdODNpno-00683-00285660-00286391 That means 10 bromines, two phenyl rings, and an ether bond, and you can see the two rings 0F2jdODNpno-00684-00286391-00286997 with the ether bond and bromines all around and after many years, this flame retardant, 0F2jdODNpno-00685-00286997-00287714 which has been widely used in fabric back coatings and electronics and a variety of uses, 0F2jdODNpno-00686-00287714-00288390 was found to be persistent bio-accumulative and toxic and again with an EPA agreement 0F2jdODNpno-00687-00288390-00288930 but not with a regulatory approach has indeed been phased out and is not manufactured 0F2jdODNpno-00688-00288930-00289501 in the U.S. But as the sale of the ether went down, 0F2jdODNpno-00689-00289501-00290138 the replacement on the right is very similar, Decabromodiphenyl ethane, 0F2jdODNpno-00690-00290138-00290567 which has a different connection, ethane rather than the ether, 0F2jdODNpno-00691-00290567-00291092 but it turns out to be possibly more persistent and bio-accumulative 0F2jdODNpno-00692-00291092-00291514 and there's increasing results showing that it's toxic. 0F2jdODNpno-00693-00291514-00292035 So this is that regrettable substitution, sometimes called passive whack-a-mole, 0F2jdODNpno-00694-00292035-00292750 and in the next Slide Number 3, my experience with this goes back a very long time, 0F2jdODNpno-00695-00292750-00293532 nearly 40 years, to when, in 1977, I published a paper 0F2jdODNpno-00696-00293532-00293815 about flame retardants in children's pajamas. 0F2jdODNpno-00697-00293815-00294292 At that time, the main flame retardant was a chemical called brominated tris. 0F2jdODNpno-00698-00294292-00294855 It was up to 10 percent of the weight of the fabric in most children's pajamas 0F2jdODNpno-00699-00294855-00295717 in the U.S. It was found that it ended up inside the children and it was a very strong mutagen. 0F2jdODNpno-00700-00295717-00296580 We published this paper, as I said, in 1977, in January, and in the next slide, Slide 4, 0F2jdODNpno-00701-00296580-00297112 you can see that three months after we published the paper, 0F2jdODNpno-00702-00297112-00297660 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission banned brominated tri from children's pajamas. 0F2jdODNpno-00703-00297660-00298349 So you were able to act quite rapidly in those days but when brominated tris was banned, 0F2jdODNpno-00704-00298349-00299124 the unfortunate substitute was chlorinated tris, which had similar properties and was indeed, 0F2jdODNpno-00705-00299124-00299790 with the assistance of the CPSC, removed from pajamas in 1978. 0F2jdODNpno-00706-00299790-00300451 And I have to say that since that time, which has been approaching 40 years, 0F2jdODNpno-00707-00300451-00301144 I have thought of this and have not yet seen a flame retardant, organohalogen flame retardant 0F2jdODNpno-00708-00301144-00301600 that has not, upon study, turned out to be problematic. 0F2jdODNpno-00709-00301600-00302214 So there's a long unfortunate record and as people have said, in the next slide, 0F2jdODNpno-00710-00302214-00303174 Penta BDE has a wide variety of human health effects, neurological, reproductive, 0F2jdODNpno-00711-00303174-00303852 and in the next slide, most recently, the National Toxicology Program found clear evidence 0F2jdODNpno-00712-00303852-00304729 of cancer-causing activity from Penta BDE and that means that Penta BDE couches that are 0F2jdODNpno-00713-00304729-00305165 in so many homes, particularly low-income homes, have the potential 0F2jdODNpno-00714-00305165-00305714 to cause serious health problems and since it was used in all furniture pretty much -- 0F2jdODNpno-00715-00305714-00306247 we did a study of a hundred couches and found that most furniture from 1975 0F2jdODNpno-00716-00306247-00306756 to 2005 in the U.S. contained Penta BDE. 0F2jdODNpno-00717-00306756-00307113 So there's a very long-term and serious problem. 0F2jdODNpno-00718-00307113-00307928 But in the next slide, when Penta BDE was phased out, the replacements were chlorinated tris, 0F2jdODNpno-00719-00307928-00308551 the same chlorinated tris that had been removed from children's pajamas in the '70s, 0F2jdODNpno-00720-00308551-00308936 even though the CPSC had said the estimated lifetime cancer risk was 0F2jdODNpno-00721-00308936-00309156 up to 300 cancer patients per million. 0F2jdODNpno-00722-00309156-00309619 There was a CPSC study saying that in 2006. 0F2jdODNpno-00723-00309619-00309846 Nonetheless, it was the major replacement. 0F2jdODNpno-00724-00309846-00310195 The other replacement, Firemaster 550, 0F2jdODNpno-00725-00310195-00310704 the EPA Design for the Environment predicted reproductive, neurological, 0F2jdODNpno-00726-00310704-00311423 and developmental toxicity as well as persistent degradation products, and indeed if you note, 0F2jdODNpno-00727-00311423-00312119 the brochure on the left, it claimed that the human health toxicity, whatever that means, 0F2jdODNpno-00728-00312119-00312400 of Firemaster would be half of that of Penta. 0F2jdODNpno-00729-00312400-00312997 I guess it's an advertisement for the change, if that's enough. 0F2jdODNpno-00730-00312997-00313458 So we knew that and yet in 2005, those were the replacements. 0F2jdODNpno-00731-00313458-00313972 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Dr. Blum, I'm sorry to interrupt but your time's expired but I'm going 0F2jdODNpno-00732-00313972-00314419 to yield you, if you would like, out of my time an additional 30 seconds. 0F2jdODNpno-00733-00314419-00314540 DR. BLUM: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00734-00314540-00314809 Sorry. I talk too slowly. 0F2jdODNpno-00735-00314809-00315098 COMMISSIONER ADLER: No. 0F2jdODNpno-00736-00315098-00315551 DR. BLUM: Now I can't find my slide. 0F2jdODNpno-00737-00315551-00316307 Okay. Well, I think just to conclude that we have considerable data that the substitutes tend 0F2jdODNpno-00738-00316307-00317265 to have the same properties and that indeed I was going to just conclude with the quote 0F2jdODNpno-00739-00317265-00317814 from the Chicago Tribune to remind people that a "deceptive campaign by industry 0F2jdODNpno-00740-00317814-00318140 about toxic flame retardants into our homes and bodies 0F2jdODNpno-00741-00318140-00318402 and the chemicals don't work as promised." 0F2jdODNpno-00742-00318402-00319053 So there is a real opportunity to reduce the use of these chemicals -- COMMISSIONER ADLER: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00743-00319053-00319444 Dr. Blum, I'm going to have to cut you off right there and I apologize for doing that. 0F2jdODNpno-00744-00319444-00319718 We may be able to get back to you during the questioning. 0F2jdODNpno-00745-00319718-00320864 I'd like now to see if we have Dr. Diamond on the phone. 0F2jdODNpno-00746-00320864-00321093 (No response.) 0F2jdODNpno-00747-00321093-00321190 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00748-00321190-00321859 I'm told by our technical expert that it takes a minute to get folks off of mute. 0F2jdODNpno-00749-00321859-00322179 So I'm just going to keep asking Dr. Diamond, if you are there? 0F2jdODNpno-00750-00322179-00322354 (No response.) 0F2jdODNpno-00751-00322513-00322718 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Dr. Diamond, can you hear us? 0F2jdODNpno-00752-00322718-00322848 (No response.) 0F2jdODNpno-00753-00323456-00323915 COMMISSIONER ADLER: We'll try one more time and if not, then I think we can move to questions 0F2jdODNpno-00754-00323915-00324360 and if Dr. Diamond comes online, then we can ask for her testimony. 0F2jdODNpno-00755-00324360-00324590 One last time, Dr. Diamond, can you hear us? 0F2jdODNpno-00756-00324590-00324639 (No response.) 0F2jdODNpno-00757-00324639-00324853 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Apparently she cannot. 0F2jdODNpno-00758-00324853-00325418 PANEL 2 QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER ADLER: So I'm going to move to ask a few questions 0F2jdODNpno-00759-00325418-00326046 and I think what I'd like to do, Dr. Balan, since you're here and we can see you 0F2jdODNpno-00760-00326046-00326493 and you're somebody that I can ask this question of. 0F2jdODNpno-00761-00326493-00326865 We have a claim that will be made this afternoon that EPA 0F2jdODNpno-00762-00326865-00327338 and other governmental authorities have determined and this is what the phrase was 0F2jdODNpno-00763-00327338-00327711 that got me a little confused, that "some of the chemistries impacted 0F2jdODNpno-00764-00327711-00328137 by the Petition do not present a significant risk to human health or the environment." 0F2jdODNpno-00765-00328137-00328358 So I guess my question is a broad one. 0F2jdODNpno-00766-00328358-00329014 Are you aware of any organohalogen non-polymeric flame retardant additive that EPA 0F2jdODNpno-00767-00329014-00329456 or any other governmental agency has determined does not present a hazard 0F2jdODNpno-00768-00329456-00329724 to the environment or human health? 0F2jdODNpno-00769-00329724-00330243 DR. BALAN: I am not aware of that. 0F2jdODNpno-00770-00330243-00330911 I know that the EPA is in the process of reviewing certain groups 0F2jdODNpno-00771-00330911-00331473 of organohalogen flame retardants but, yeah, no, I'm not aware. 0F2jdODNpno-00772-00331473-00332014 COMMISSIONER ADLER: And, Ms. Gartner, I'd like to ask you a question. 0F2jdODNpno-00773-00332014-00332597 The Petition limited itself to four categories of consumer products but I sat down 0F2jdODNpno-00774-00332597-00333113 and I said what other consumer products out there and I thought candles, carpets, cabinets, 0F2jdODNpno-00775-00333113-00333367 sheets, towels, shower curtains, appliances. 0F2jdODNpno-00776-00333367-00333991 There are a lot of other products that conceivably might have organohalogens. 0F2jdODNpno-00777-00333991-00334402 So one of the things that we have to do in deciding whether to grant the Petition is 0F2jdODNpno-00778-00334402-00334686 to figure out what the scope of the Petition should be. 0F2jdODNpno-00779-00334686-00335221 Can you explain in a little bit more detail why you limited the request just 0F2jdODNpno-00780-00335221-00335436 to these four product categories? 0F2jdODNpno-00781-00335436-00335601 MS. GARTNER: Yes, Commissioner Adler. 0F2jdODNpno-00782-00335601-00336353 We chose categories where we know organohalogen flame retardants are used in additive form 0F2jdODNpno-00783-00336353-00336770 and in non-polymeric forms, so that it would lead to human exposures, 0F2jdODNpno-00784-00336770-00337191 and we also chose categories where there's documented evidence 0F2jdODNpno-00785-00337191-00337701 that there really is no fire safety benefit to using the halogens 0F2jdODNpno-00786-00337701-00337900 at the levels where they're currently used. 0F2jdODNpno-00787-00337900-00338343 So that might also be the case for additional categories of products but these are the ones 0F2jdODNpno-00788-00338343-00338754 where there's documentation of the lack of fire safety benefit. 0F2jdODNpno-00789-00338754-00339210 COMMISSIONER ADLER: And if I might, Ms. Gartner, 0F2jdODNpno-00790-00339210-00339684 we heard Dr. Blum's discussion of regrettable substitutions. 0F2jdODNpno-00791-00339684-00340158 She did it product by product, showing that when you use one and the famous phrase 0F2jdODNpno-00792-00340158-00340709 of whack-a-mole, you find another one, but can you explain more broadly what the notion 0F2jdODNpno-00793-00340709-00341063 of regrettable substitution is and why it's of such concern 0F2jdODNpno-00794-00341063-00341341 to the Petitioners in this particular case? 0F2jdODNpno-00795-00341341-00341449 MS. GARTNER: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-00796-00341449-00342281 So the concern is that unless there's a prohibition on the use of any chemical 0F2jdODNpno-00797-00342281-00342858 in this class, that if -- what we've seen, as Dr. Blum is saying, 0F2jdODNpno-00798-00342858-00343204 Penta BDE was used for decades in sofas. 0F2jdODNpno-00799-00343204-00343567 EPA determined 10 years ago that that posed risks. 0F2jdODNpno-00800-00343567-00344079 They were three or four years later than Europe in determining that but they entered 0F2jdODNpno-00801-00344079-00344609 into this voluntary phase-out and then new chemicals came 0F2jdODNpno-00802-00344609-00345118 on that have similar chemical structures and similar toxicity and the concern is 0F2jdODNpno-00803-00345118-00345667 that if this Commission were simply to act against particular chemicals, then we would -- 0F2jdODNpno-00804-00345667-00346218 then the next replacements would have the same problems, similar structure, similar toxicity. 0F2jdODNpno-00805-00346218-00346763 The only way to get at the root of the problem is to address all the chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00806-00346763-00347415 that have this structure, the bonding of the carbon atom and the halogenated chemical. 0F2jdODNpno-00807-00347415-00347614 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Thank you very much for the question. 0F2jdODNpno-00808-00347614-00347714 I have one last question. 0F2jdODNpno-00809-00347714-00347961 Dr. Balan, if I might direct that to you. 0F2jdODNpno-00810-00347961-00348377 We're going to hear testimony this afternoon from a manufacturer who claims 0F2jdODNpno-00811-00348377-00348821 to have developed effective halogen-free reactive FR chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00812-00348821-00349066 for use in some consumer products. 0F2jdODNpno-00813-00349066-00349563 Setting aside the question whether we need FR chemicals in some of these products, 0F2jdODNpno-00814-00349563-00350017 is it possible to develop an effective halogen-free reactive FR chemical 0F2jdODNpno-00815-00350017-00350268 for use in consumer products? 0F2jdODNpno-00816-00350268-00350489 DR. BALAN: I believe it is and I believe 0F2jdODNpno-00817-00350489-00351111 that by banning products containing additive non-polymeric organohalogen flame retardants, 0F2jdODNpno-00818-00351111-00351660 we would be opening further opportunities for innovation for finding safer alternatives. 0F2jdODNpno-00819-00351660-00351914 So the fact that the flame retardant would be reactive, 0F2jdODNpno-00820-00351914-00352352 that's good news because it means it's bound to the material, be less likely to cause exposure. 0F2jdODNpno-00821-00352352-00352949 Even if it shows some toxicity, consumers will not be exposed to it during product use. 0F2jdODNpno-00822-00352949-00353101 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Thank you so much. 0F2jdODNpno-00823-00353101-00353195 Commissioner Robinson? 0F2jdODNpno-00824-00353195-00353505 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Thank you, Commissioner Adler. 0F2jdODNpno-00825-00353505-00353987 One of my frustrations in reviewing the voluminous materials that were submitted 0F2jdODNpno-00826-00353987-00354307 and in listening to the presentations that have been given to us 0F2jdODNpno-00827-00354307-00354632 over the last few weeks is making sure that we're dealing 0F2jdODNpno-00828-00354632-00354902 with only what's relevant to you Petitioners. 0F2jdODNpno-00829-00354902-00355222 Since you're all Petitioners, I guess any of you could answer this but, Ms. Gartner, 0F2jdODNpno-00830-00355222-00355422 I'm going to aim this question at you. 0F2jdODNpno-00831-00355422-00355919 I just want to be perfectly clear that the only thing that's being asked in the Petition, 0F2jdODNpno-00832-00355919-00356327 as I understand it, deals with non-polymerics, not polymerics, correct? 0F2jdODNpno-00833-00356327-00356425 MS. GARTNER: That's correct. 0F2jdODNpno-00834-00356425-00356603 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Additive, not reactive, right? 0F2jdODNpno-00835-00356603-00356708 MS. GARTNER: That's correct. 0F2jdODNpno-00836-00356708-00357250 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: And when we're talking about electronic devices, when you're talking 0F2jdODNpno-00837-00357250-00357562 about the products, the others are very clear, but I want to be perfectly clear in this, 0F2jdODNpno-00838-00357562-00358002 you're not talking about any flame retardants inside the electronics 0F2jdODNpno-00839-00358002-00358115 but only the casings, correct? 0F2jdODNpno-00840-00358115-00358184 MS. GARTNER: That's correct. 0F2jdODNpno-00841-00358184-00358242 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00842-00358242-00358736 And hopefully we'll be able to limit all of the presentations today to just those that are 0F2jdODNpno-00843-00358736-00358964 within the subject areas of the Petition. 0F2jdODNpno-00844-00358964-00359525 The other thing, Dr. Balan, I would like to ask you because we're being asked not only 0F2jdODNpno-00845-00359525-00360096 to ban products that are in existence that are non-polymeric, 0F2jdODNpno-00846-00360096-00360676 additive organohalogen flame retardants but we're also being asked to ban products 0F2jdODNpno-00847-00360676-00361194 that might be created in the future that are in this category and not being a scientist, 0F2jdODNpno-00848-00361194-00361910 I need you to tell me whether you can think of any situation in which a chemical, 0F2jdODNpno-00849-00361910-00362557 a flame retardant, could be invented that met these criteria 0F2jdODNpno-00850-00362557-00363114 that did not have the same endpoint of toxicity that the group 0F2jdODNpno-00851-00363114-00363419 that is in existence now apparently has. 0F2jdODNpno-00852-00363419-00363633 DR. BALAN: Yeah. 0F2jdODNpno-00853-00363633-00364244 I think so the -- we're taking, you know, regrettable substitution, 0F2jdODNpno-00854-00364244-00364663 you've heard all about that, the problem with regrettable substitution, and, 0F2jdODNpno-00855-00364663-00365199 as Dr. Birnbaum said before, there are different toxicity endpoints 0F2jdODNpno-00856-00365199-00365768 for these organohalogen flame retardants, but they do all have certain things in common 0F2jdODNpno-00857-00365768-00366089 and it's too bad Dr. Diamond could not speak 0F2jdODNpno-00858-00366089-00366621 because she has studied the physical-chemical properties of organohalogen flame retardants 0F2jdODNpno-00859-00366621-00367302 and knows that they tend to all share the properties of persistence and bio-accumulation. 0F2jdODNpno-00860-00367302-00367772 So we will have those chemicals in our bodies and by the time we get them in our bodies 0F2jdODNpno-00861-00367772-00368080 and the environment, it will take a very long time for us to determine 0F2jdODNpno-00862-00368080-00368553 if they have harmful human health effects, so. 0F2jdODNpno-00863-00368553-00368851 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: And would you expect any of the chemicals 0F2jdODNpno-00864-00368851-00369298 within this category to be an SBOC? 0F2jdODNpno-00865-00369298-00369693 DR. BALAN: Yes, that is what Dr. Diamond's research has shown and, 0F2jdODNpno-00866-00369693-00370310 as I said in my testimony, organohalogens in general will tend to enter our cells 0F2jdODNpno-00867-00370310-00370642 and be there for a long time and have potential to cause toxicity. 0F2jdODNpno-00868-00370642-00371025 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: You're speaking of the lipophilic characteristic? 0F2jdODNpno-00869-00371025-00371165 DR. BALAN: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-00870-00371165-00371489 The ones that have phosphates in them, so the halogen organophosphates, 0F2jdODNpno-00871-00371489-00371918 those are not lipophilics, so they don't tend to bio-accumulate as much. 0F2jdODNpno-00872-00371918-00372480 They're more water-soluble but they are also not recognized by our cell defenses 0F2jdODNpno-00873-00372480-00372928 and they can have similar -- they can similarly bypass our defenses 0F2jdODNpno-00874-00372928-00373081 and get into the cells to cause toxic effects. 0F2jdODNpno-00875-00373081-00373344 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: I think that's all I have. 0F2jdODNpno-00876-00373344-00373480 Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00877-00373480-00373811 COMMISSIONER ADLER: As I understand it, we now have Dr. Diamond on the phone. 0F2jdODNpno-00878-00373811-00373965 Am I correct in saying that? 0F2jdODNpno-00879-00373965-00374086 DR. DIAMOND: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-00880-00374086-00374283 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Oh, wonderful. 0F2jdODNpno-00881-00374283-00374496 DR. DIAMOND: Oh, my goodness. 0F2jdODNpno-00882-00374496-00374591 That was stressful. 0F2jdODNpno-00883-00374591-00374719 I kept calling out. 0F2jdODNpno-00884-00374719-00375053 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Well, it's stressful for us, too. 0F2jdODNpno-00885-00375053-00375490 But, anyway, thank you for agreeing to testify and you may now begin. 0F2jdODNpno-00886-00375490-00375576 You'll have five minutes. 0F2jdODNpno-00887-00375576-00376129 DR. DIAMOND: Thank you very much for this opportunity to appear before you by phone. 0F2jdODNpno-00888-00376129-00376287 My name is Miriam Diamond. 0F2jdODNpno-00889-00376287-00376685 I'm a professor at the University of Toronto for the past 25 years, 0F2jdODNpno-00890-00376685-00377176 of which 15 of those years I've spent looking at flame retardants, 0F2jdODNpno-00891-00377176-00377493 both through measurements and through modeling. 0F2jdODNpno-00892-00377493-00377710 I'd like to make three points. 0F2jdODNpno-00893-00377710-00378218 The first point is the nature, the physical-chemical properties of the compounds, 0F2jdODNpno-00894-00378218-00378806 that they're semi-volatile organic compounds, coupled with the fact that they're additive. 0F2jdODNpno-00895-00378806-00379263 The fact that they're semi-volatile organic compounds means that they can exist both 0F2jdODNpno-00896-00379263-00379727 in the solid phase, that is, like as the additive into the polymer, 0F2jdODNpno-00897-00379727-00379954 and in the gas phase at the same time. 0F2jdODNpno-00898-00379954-00380635 It's inevitable because of this volatility, the tendency for the chemical to go into the air. 0F2jdODNpno-00899-00380635-00381215 It's inevitable that the chemical will escape from the polymer and enter 0F2jdODNpno-00900-00381215-00381572 into the air in the indoor environment. 0F2jdODNpno-00901-00381572-00382107 Now from the indoor air, they will then partition into surfaces. 0F2jdODNpno-00902-00382107-00382830 So the first point is it's inevitable that these compounds will slowly migrate from the polymer 0F2jdODNpno-00903-00382830-00383265 to which they're added into the environment, be it indoors or outdoors. 0F2jdODNpno-00904-00383265-00383768 The second point I'd like to make is that the compounds are persistent. 0F2jdODNpno-00905-00383768-00384303 Organic compounds break down by the action of sunlight, extreme temperatures, and microbes. 0F2jdODNpno-00906-00384303-00385009 The organohalogens are very persistent and that's outdoors where they persist anywhere, 0F2jdODNpno-00907-00385009-00385401 depending on the compound, for months to decades. 0F2jdODNpno-00908-00385401-00385858 So indoors, where we don't have sunlight, we don't have extreme temperatures, 0F2jdODNpno-00909-00385858-00386219 and we don't have as many microbes, they're extremely persistent. 0F2jdODNpno-00910-00386219-00386562 There are very few opportunities for loss. 0F2jdODNpno-00911-00386562-00387117 Couple that with the fact that it's inevitable that they will continue to be emitted 0F2jdODNpno-00912-00387117-00387648 from the polymer as long as that polymer is in the environment, 0F2jdODNpno-00913-00387648-00388225 you'll continue to have emissions indoors and persistence of the compound. 0F2jdODNpno-00914-00388225-00388924 The third point I would like to make is that because of these properties, we're exposed. 0F2jdODNpno-00915-00388924-00389160 We're exposed in several ways. 0F2jdODNpno-00916-00389160-00389817 We can directly touch the polymer and because it's not chemically bonded, some small 0F2jdODNpno-00917-00389817-00390163 but significant fraction of the chemical will come off 0F2jdODNpno-00918-00390163-00390566 on your hands and we've done testing on that. 0F2jdODNpno-00919-00390566-00391039 Secondly, the chemical, because it's semi-volatile, 0F2jdODNpno-00920-00391039-00391448 will tend to absorb on to surfaces. 0F2jdODNpno-00921-00391448-00391922 Now those surfaces include toys, includes your clothing. 0F2jdODNpno-00922-00391922-00392169 It includes your skin. 0F2jdODNpno-00923-00392169-00392302 It includes the floor. 0F2jdODNpno-00924-00392302-00392457 It includes dust. 0F2jdODNpno-00925-00392457-00393040 We have opportunities through hand-to-mouth contact for direct exposure from, for example, 0F2jdODNpno-00926-00393040-00393644 we touch the casing of our TV or computer, get the flame retardant on our hands 0F2jdODNpno-00927-00393644-00394196 through the casing, through the dust on there, transfer it to our mouth. 0F2jdODNpno-00928-00394196-00394516 So we're exposed in multiple ways. 0F2jdODNpno-00929-00394516-00394699 Now I think I have one more minute. 0F2jdODNpno-00930-00394699-00394873 So I just want to make a final point. 0F2jdODNpno-00931-00394873-00395057 This is actually the fourth point. 0F2jdODNpno-00932-00395057-00395416 One thing we don't tend to -- COMMISSIONER ADLER: You actually have two minutes. 0F2jdODNpno-00933-00395416-00395714 DR. DIAMOND: Am I out of time? 0F2jdODNpno-00934-00395714-00395831 COMMISSIONER ADLER: No. 0F2jdODNpno-00935-00395831-00395897 You have two minutes. 0F2jdODNpno-00936-00395897-00395976 DR. DIAMOND: Two minutes? 0F2jdODNpno-00937-00395976-00396262 Then I can have a leisurely fourth point. 0F2jdODNpno-00938-00396262-00396860 The fourth point is that we don't tend to think of the end of life and I recognize 0F2jdODNpno-00939-00396860-00397286 that you're regulating for fire safety in this point but it behooves us to think 0F2jdODNpno-00940-00397286-00397738 of what happens to these products, particularly electronic products. 0F2jdODNpno-00941-00397738-00398148 The plastic polymers are a hot commodity. 0F2jdODNpno-00942-00398148-00399018 They're purchased after the plastic -- the electronic products go into the waste stream. 0F2jdODNpno-00943-00399018-00399614 So there's a vigorous market for those polymers that contain flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-00944-00399614-00400051 Some of those polymers happen to come back to us in other products, 0F2jdODNpno-00945-00400051-00400471 including kitchen utensils and other kitchen items. 0F2jdODNpno-00946-00400471-00400965 For example, I have measured in my own kitchen spoons and the presence of PBDEs 0F2jdODNpno-00947-00400965-00401761 that could not have been intentionally added to kitchen spoons and we've done subsequent testing 0F2jdODNpno-00948-00401761-00402487 to find that other plastic products, such as kitchen spoons, have flame retardants in them. 0F2jdODNpno-00949-00402487-00403180 So to summarize, it's inevitable that these compounds as a class will migrate 0F2jdODNpno-00950-00403180-00404093 out of products and in effect sort of smear the indoor environment and all the surfaces 0F2jdODNpno-00951-00404093-00404398 in the indoor environment with those chemicals. 0F2jdODNpno-00952-00404398-00404703 And with that, I'd like to thank you very much for taking me off mute 0F2jdODNpno-00953-00404703-00404917 and allowing me the opportunity to present. 0F2jdODNpno-00954-00404917-00405120 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Thank you so much. 0F2jdODNpno-00955-00405120-00405589 I now will move to Commissioner Buerkle for questions and I did want 0F2jdODNpno-00956-00405589-00405842 to make one note about an exception. 0F2jdODNpno-00957-00405842-00406497 Because Commissioner Robinson and I were not able to ask you questions, 0F2jdODNpno-00958-00406497-00406789 I'm going to permit her, after we've gone 0F2jdODNpno-00959-00406789-00407088 through these questions, another minute for a question. 0F2jdODNpno-00960-00407088-00407388 But in the moment, Commissioner Buerkle? 0F2jdODNpno-00961-00407388-00407785 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Thank you and thanks to all of our panelists for being here today. 0F2jdODNpno-00962-00407785-00407997 We do appreciate your testimony. 0F2jdODNpno-00963-00407997-00408314 I just have a couple of questions, one for Mr. Wallace. 0F2jdODNpno-00964-00408314-00408848 Mr. Wallace, in your testimony, you suggest that all of the four categories of products 0F2jdODNpno-00965-00408848-00409452 that are included in the Petition include large amounts of these organohalogens. 0F2jdODNpno-00966-00409452-00409809 Can you just describe for me what you consider a large amount? 0F2jdODNpno-00967-00409809-00409921 Is it a certain percentage? 0F2jdODNpno-00968-00409921-00409979 What is the number? 0F2jdODNpno-00969-00409979-00410218 MR. WALLACE: It's not a certain percentage. 0F2jdODNpno-00970-00410218-00410614 It's our assessment, based on our -- when we assessed the Petition, 0F2jdODNpno-00971-00410614-00410980 to see if we would be signing on and supporting it. 0F2jdODNpno-00972-00410980-00411666 Our scientists in our office in D.C. concluded that the science was compelling. 0F2jdODNpno-00973-00411666-00411754 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-00974-00411754-00412201 Well, because we have such a limited time, we'll probably follow up with questions but thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-00975-00412201-00412489 Ms. Gartner, I have a couple questions for you. 0F2jdODNpno-00976-00412489-00412934 Number 1, in your testimony, you suggested that -- 0F2jdODNpno-00977-00412934-00413739 so if a product is declared a banned hazardous substance, that then under Section 15, 0F2jdODNpno-00978-00413739-00414222 we could take action, and I'm just wondering what you suggest -- 0F2jdODNpno-00979-00414222-00414352 what you're suggesting by that. 0F2jdODNpno-00980-00414352-00414759 A recall or what was -- MS. GARTNER: Relating to the legacy uses? 0F2jdODNpno-00981-00414759-00414856 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-00982-00414856-00414925 MS. GARTNER: Yeah. 0F2jdODNpno-00983-00414925-00415381 So I read that section through a few times and, I mean, obviously you have more experience 0F2jdODNpno-00984-00415381-00415784 with that and I'm not making a particular recommendation at this time 0F2jdODNpno-00985-00415784-00416139 but it could be a recall, it could be a notice, it could -- 0F2jdODNpno-00986-00416139-00416376 it wouldn't have to be a full recall. 0F2jdODNpno-00987-00416376-00416675 There could be replacement foam cushions for sofas. 0F2jdODNpno-00988-00416675-00417362 I think there's a variety of authorities that you have and I haven't -- 0F2jdODNpno-00989-00417362-00417972 I probably haven't given it as much thought as I could but I do know you have the authority 0F2jdODNpno-00990-00417972-00418514 to address the legacy exposures from chemicals that are already in people's homes. 0F2jdODNpno-00991-00418514-00418655 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-00992-00418655-00419077 And then a second question is currently, the Commission is dealing 0F2jdODNpno-00993-00419077-00419352 with phthalates, another -- yeah. 0F2jdODNpno-00994-00419352-00420017 We've been advised to -- and the scientists, as we're going through this analysis, to divide up 0F2jdODNpno-00995-00420017-00420395 and make distinctions between groups and I'd like to ask your opinion. 0F2jdODNpno-00996-00420395-00420614 Why isn't that appropriate in this situation? 0F2jdODNpno-00997-00420614-00421027 Why aren't we asking to ban all of these products? 0F2jdODNpno-00998-00421027-00421297 MS. GARTNER: Right. 0F2jdODNpno-00999-00421297-00421674 Well, under -- can you say more about what when you say by groups? 0F2jdODNpno-01000-00421674-00422149 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Well, some phthalates have been identified as fine and others are banned 0F2jdODNpno-01001-00422149-00422371 and right now, there's a group of them -- there's an interim ban -- MS. GARTNER: Right. 0F2jdODNpno-01002-00422371-00422638 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: -- and those are the ones we're making the decision on. 0F2jdODNpno-01003-00422638-00422839 MS. GARTNER: So I think with the phthalates, you looked at -- 0F2jdODNpno-01004-00422839-00423310 the CHAP that was convened looked at a particular endpoint 0F2jdODNpno-01005-00423310-00423968 and that endpoint was male reproduction and so the proposal is to ban the phthalates 0F2jdODNpno-01006-00423968-00424299 that act on that particular endpoint. 0F2jdODNpno-01007-00424299-00424651 So what we're saying here, what Dr. Birnbaum said and what Dr. Balan have said, 0F2jdODNpno-01008-00424651-00425255 is that the organohalogens as a class, the organohalogen flame retardants, 0F2jdODNpno-01009-00425255-00425437 they operate on multiple endpoints. 0F2jdODNpno-01010-00425437-00425914 So we're not saying just look at the carcinogenic effect 0F2jdODNpno-01011-00425914-00426243 or just look at the neurotoxic effect. 0F2jdODNpno-01012-00426243-00426428 Many of them are neurotoxic. 0F2jdODNpno-01013-00426428-00426624 Many of them are carcinogenic. 0F2jdODNpno-01014-00426624-00427335 They're not a hundred percent all carcinogenic but all of them, because of this bond 0F2jdODNpno-01015-00427335-00427703 and other physical-chemical properties that I'll leave to the scientists to describe, 0F2jdODNpno-01016-00427703-00428338 all of them have toxicity and meet the standard under the FHSA as being a hazardous substance. 0F2jdODNpno-01017-00428338-00428612 They don't all operate in exactly the same way 0F2jdODNpno-01018-00428612-00428893 but all of them meet the definition of hazardous substance. 0F2jdODNpno-01019-00428893-00429028 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-01020-00429028-00429401 And, Dr. Blum, for you, as well, I have one question. 0F2jdODNpno-01021-00429401-00430039 You mentioned some of these chemicals being bio-accumulative and I'm wondering 0F2jdODNpno-01022-00430039-00430449 when they're bio-accumulative, does it necessarily mean 0F2jdODNpno-01023-00430449-00430803 that there is some risk of exposure with that chemical? 0F2jdODNpno-01024-00430803-00431510 DR. BLUM: Well, it means that they stay in organisms for a very long time 0F2jdODNpno-01025-00431510-00431813 and the levels go up as you go up the food chain. 0F2jdODNpno-01026-00431813-00432680 So, for example, these chemicals are often in wastewater and they wash into the ocean 0F2jdODNpno-01027-00432680-00433146 where very small creatures eat them and the larger creatures eat the small creatures 0F2jdODNpno-01028-00433146-00433779 and get higher levels and then fish get a higher level and finally you end up with marine mammals 0F2jdODNpno-01029-00433779-00434309 who are quite bio-accumulative and the highest levels in the world, for example, 0F2jdODNpno-01030-00434309-00435252 of PBDEs are in marine mammals around California, where we have the most PBDEs, 0F2jdODNpno-01031-00435252-00435667 and they tend to be lipophilic is the reason. 0F2jdODNpno-01032-00435667-00435960 So they do stay in our bodies a very long time 0F2jdODNpno-01033-00435960-00436541 and all other organisms continue to be exposed to them. 0F2jdODNpno-01034-00436541-00436822 COMMISSIONER BUERKLE: Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-01035-00436822-00437164 Again, though, we can have a future conversation, I'm sure, maybe in a QFR, 0F2jdODNpno-01036-00437164-00437710 but with regards to even with that kind of accumulation that you've described for us, 0F2jdODNpno-01037-00437710-00438114 does that necessarily mean that there are adverse consequences 0F2jdODNpno-01038-00438114-00438372 to exposure but I think my time is up. 0F2jdODNpno-01039-00438372-00438483 Thank you all very much. 0F2jdODNpno-01040-00438483-00438693 COMMISSIONER ADLER: Commissioner Mohorovic? 0F2jdODNpno-01041-00438693-00438985 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Petitioners, 0F2jdODNpno-01042-00438985-00439479 for making the suggestion to the agency and the depth and the quality of your Petition as well 0F2jdODNpno-01043-00439479-00439760 as your availability to myself and the Commission 0F2jdODNpno-01044-00439760-00440045 to answer questions about your suggestion. 0F2jdODNpno-01045-00440045-00440439 I'm interested in the demand drivers for flame retardants and the incorporation 0F2jdODNpno-01046-00440439-00440750 of the four product sectors that you've identified and, 0F2jdODNpno-01047-00440750-00441164 leaving aside the children's products, electronics, and mattresses, 0F2jdODNpno-01048-00441164-00441547 and to focus just on upholstered furniture, if we could, for a moment, 0F2jdODNpno-01049-00441547-00442124 it's generally understood that California Technical Bulletin 117-75, of course, 0F2jdODNpno-01050-00442124-00442725 again before the 2013 revisions, was a significant demand driver for the incorporation 0F2jdODNpno-01051-00442725-00443222 of significant amount of flame retardants to be able to meet that very difficult standard 0F2jdODNpno-01052-00443222-00443672 that was the rule/law in California. 0F2jdODNpno-01053-00443672-00444567 Since then, there's been a 2013 version, so California Technical Bulletin 117-13, 0F2jdODNpno-01054-00444567-00445288 that has made that standard available to be met through the usage of barriers 0F2jdODNpno-01055-00445288-00445943 and other technologies that doesn't require the significant incorporation of flame retardants. 0F2jdODNpno-01056-00445943-00446360 I have one question for each of the Petitioners and for brevity, 0F2jdODNpno-01057-00446360-00446655 I would ask you to answer yes, no, or no comment. 0F2jdODNpno-01058-00446655-00447180 Would you support the Commission adopting Technical Bulletin 117-13 0F2jdODNpno-01059-00447180-00447606 as a national mandatory standard for upholstered furniture? 0F2jdODNpno-01060-00447606-00447672 Mr. Wallace? 0F2jdODNpno-01061-00447672-00447900 MR. WALLACE: I have to get back to you. 0F2jdODNpno-01062-00447900-00448177 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: I guess that would be no comment. 0F2jdODNpno-01063-00448177-00448335 MR. WALLACE: No comment. 0F2jdODNpno-01064-00448335-00448425 MS. GARTNER: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-01065-00448425-00448606 DR. BALAN: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-01066-00448606-00448997 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Dr. Blum? 0F2jdODNpno-01067-00448997-00449216 DR. BLUM: Yes, I would support it. 0F2jdODNpno-01068-00449216-00449468 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Dr. Diamond? 0F2jdODNpno-01069-00449468-00449709 DR. DIAMOND: Miriam Diamond, yes. 0F2jdODNpno-01070-00449709-00449909 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you very much. 0F2jdODNpno-01071-00449909-00450326 In my previous -- in the previous panel, we talked about the exposure pathways 0F2jdODNpno-01072-00450326-00450726 with the upholstered furniture and the study that was done and I'm now informed 0F2jdODNpno-01073-00450726-00451572 that that was limited to dermal exposure and I was wondering if you have any additional study 0F2jdODNpno-01074-00451572-00452164 or information on the exposure pathway that might better inform our staff's analysis 0F2jdODNpno-01075-00452164-00452584 to determine risk assessment, which would be the threshold that we would have 0F2jdODNpno-01076-00452584-00452913 to meet in order to ban moving forward. 0F2jdODNpno-01077-00452913-00453468 Do you have anything with regards to exposure pathways from other means 0F2jdODNpno-01078-00453468-00453853 for the four product categories that are identified in the Petition? 0F2jdODNpno-01079-00453853-00454547 Any of the panelists may jump in if they have something. 0F2jdODNpno-01080-00454547-00455037 DR. BALAN: So currently, the biggest exposure route is 0F2jdODNpno-01081-00455037-00455489 through inhalation of contaminated dust. 0F2jdODNpno-01082-00455489-00456159 Dermal exposure has also recently been shown to be a significant exposure route, as well. 0F2jdODNpno-01083-00456159-00456743 Inhalation is also important but I think the hand-to-mouth contact is 0F2jdODNpno-01084-00456743-00457231 in general the biggest source and including hand-to-mouth 0F2jdODNpno-01085-00457231-00457496 from contaminated dust and from product. 0F2jdODNpno-01086-00457496-00458092 So there have been studies showing that touching electronics and then bringing the hands 0F2jdODNpno-01087-00458092-00458572 to the mouth can create exposure and also when the electronics heat up, 0F2jdODNpno-01088-00458572-00459003 the casings release more of these flame retardants in the dust. 0F2jdODNpno-01089-00459003-00459125 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-01090-00459125-00459312 Dr. Blum or Dr. Diamond? 0F2jdODNpno-01091-00459312-00459625 DR. BLUM: Can you hear me? 0F2jdODNpno-01092-00459625-00459972 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Yes. 0F2jdODNpno-01093-00459972-00460114 DR. BLUM: Okay. 0F2jdODNpno-01094-00460114-00460780 Well, there was a very large EPA study about four-five years ago that dealt with Penta BDE. 0F2jdODNpno-01095-00460780-00461430 I believe 80 percent of the exposure was from dust and there's been a number 0F2jdODNpno-01096-00461430-00462047 of studies recently, sadly, finding that children's levels of Penta BDE 0F2jdODNpno-01097-00462047-00462725 and tris are three to five times higher than their parents, which is believe to be due 0F2jdODNpno-01098-00462725-00463427 to hand-to-mouth contact, which is also further showing that dust exposure 0F2jdODNpno-01099-00463427-00463710 through hand-to-mouth contact is really a large source, 0F2jdODNpno-01100-00463710-00464035 given how much higher children's exposure is. 0F2jdODNpno-01101-00464035-00464352 It's a very unfortunate fact that it is that high. 0F2jdODNpno-01102-00464352-00464789 COMMISSIONER MOHOROVIC: Thank you, Dr. Blum. 0F2jdODNpno-01103-00464789-00465097 And, you know, we know that the dose makes the poison. 0F2jdODNpno-01104-00465097-00465397 Is there any of those studies included -- 0F2jdODNpno-01105-00465397-00465912 I recognize and it sounds like the studies have proven that that is a pathway, 0F2jdODNpno-01106-00465912-00466276 dermal oral hand-to-mouth, as well as inhalation. 0F2jdODNpno-01107-00466276-00466695 Has there been any studies to understand the rate with which we might be able 0F2jdODNpno-01108-00466695-00467189 to determine risk assessment outside of just an acknowledgement 0F2jdODNpno-01109-00467189-00467631 that it is a pathway for exposure? 0F2jdODNpno-01110-00467631-00467878 DR. DIAMOND: Yes, and it's Miriam Diamond. 0F2jdODNpno-01111-00467878-00468453 I'd like to add one other exposure pathway and that's through directly mouthing materials 0F2jdODNpno-01112-00468453-00468654 that have the flame retardant absorbed. 0F2jdODNpno-01113-00468654-00469357 For example, the flame retardant will go from dust and from air on to the surface of the toy 0F2jdODNpno-01114-00469357-00469833 or clothing that can be mouthed and that could actually be a significant exposure pathway. 0F2jdODNpno-01115-00469833-00470725 The U.S. EPA has exposure pathway levels so that the risk assessment can be done. 0F2jdODNpno-01116-00470725-00471280 I think what's unclear is that the dust -- we know that there is exposure through dust 0F2jdODNpno-01117-00471280-00471891 but we also appreciate the dust is probably acting as proxy, which is the levels indoors 0F2jdODNpno-01118-00471891-00472475 to which we're exposed, depending on the particular activities of the individual, 0F2jdODNpno-01119-00472475-00473152 and as Dr. Blum mentioned, children tend to be in contact with dust more often than adults 0F2jdODNpno-01120-00473152-00473733 and also tend to mouth products more frequently, leading to those higher exposures. 0F2jdODNpno-01121-00473733-00474130 COMMISSIONER ADLER: I will now ask Commissioner Robinson 0F2jdODNpno-01122-00474130-00474506 if she has any further questions for Dr. Diamond? 0F2jdODNpno-01123-00474506-00474731 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Thank you, Commissioner Adler. 0F2jdODNpno-01124-00474731-00475097 I'm only going to follow up on what Dr. Balan said, Dr. Diamond, 0F2jdODNpno-01125-00475097-00475682 that you would be the more appropriate witness to ask this of, and as you know, 0F2jdODNpno-01126-00475682-00476500 we're being asked to ban an entire category or group of chemicals based on information we have 0F2jdODNpno-01127-00476500-00477059 about only a few of them and we're being asked to ban future products that fall 0F2jdODNpno-01128-00477059-00477464 within the category of non-polymeric additive organohalogens. 0F2jdODNpno-01129-00477464-00478074 And my question of you, given the fact that I'm not a scientist, is can you imagine 0F2jdODNpno-01130-00478074-00478414 that a product could be created that would fall into the category 0F2jdODNpno-01131-00478414-00479075 of non-polymeric additive organohalogen that would not have the same endpoints that these 0F2jdODNpno-01132-00479075-00479710 that we've studied do have in terms of the SBOC, the persistence of bio-accumulative, 0F2jdODNpno-01133-00479710-00480168 the hydrophobic aspect, and the resulting toxicity? 0F2jdODNpno-01134-00480168-00480839 DR. DIAMOND: And the quick answer to that is no and the reason is that the very -- 0F2jdODNpno-01135-00480839-00481638 the properties that are favored for the compound to be a flame retardant are the same properties 0F2jdODNpno-01136-00481638-00482379 that lead to persistence bio-accumulative nature and potential toxicity. 0F2jdODNpno-01137-00482379-00482542 COMMISSIONER ROBINSON: Thank you. 0F2jdODNpno-01138-00482542-00482913 COMMISSIONER ADLER: At that, we are now going to take a break. 0F2jdODNpno-01139-00482913-00483683 We're actually ahead of time, miracle of miracles, and we will reconvene at 10:45. 0F2jdODNpno-01140-00483683-00483791 Thank you all so much. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00000-00000000-00001000 Over the last few months, I've seen others have success with chewing gum to make themselves hungry, so I thought I'd try it for myself. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00001-00001000-00001999 I woke up 14 hours after dinner, drank some water and began chewing. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00002-00002000-00003000 Almost immediately, the water started audibly moving through my tummy, so I started recording as I continued to chew. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00003-00003000-00004000 I stopped chewing after about 20 minutes when I felt my first hunger pang, however I didn't get any significant hunger growls. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00004-00004000-00005000 This is a recurring theme, and why the video title says "semi-successful" - I got plenty of tummy noises, just not the tummy noises I was hoping for. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00005-00005000-00006000 This first recording in particular is interesting because, at times, the grumbling sounds like low-pitched static noise. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00006-00006000-00007000 That's why I decided to upload these recordings despite the lack of proper hunger growls. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00007-00007000-00008000 In subsequent recording sessions, I did end up getting some hunger growls though, so not all is lost. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00008-00008000-00009000 Anyway, I'll shut up for now, enjoy! 0H9IDLTBUcY-00009-00178330-00179330 About 30 minutes after I'd finished the last recording, I started getting hunger pangs again, so I laid back down and started recording. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00010-00179330-00180330 I was able to record a few proper hunger growls this time, but nothing significant. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00011-00202080-00203080 This was the first proper hunger growl of the day. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00012-00219296-00220296 Here's the second one. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00013-00238546-00239546 Third growl incoming 0H9IDLTBUcY-00014-00239546-00240546 ...with a follow-up gurgle. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00015-00313406-00314406 I had a shower, and then prepared lunch (just some packet pasta, nothing fancy). 0H9IDLTBUcY-00016-00314406-00315406 But I didn't eat it straight away. I brought it with me into my room, laid down and started chewing a new piece of gum. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00017-00315406-00316406 I was hoping that actively chewing while being able to smell the pasta would help make me hungry again. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00018-00316406-00317406 Like in the first part, I mostly just got a lot of water gurgles. The gurgles are definitely more distinct in this one though, they sound much less like low-pitched noise. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00019-00317406-00318406 I did eventually start getting hunger pangs again about half-way through, some of which produced amazing growls! 0H9IDLTBUcY-00020-00318406-00319406 I'll speak up again when we get to those. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00021-00428430-00429430 This is where I started getting hunger pangs and stopped chewing. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00022-00460026-00461026 This is the first of several big growls I received during this wave. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00023-00508013-00509013 Another small hunger growl. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00024-00517160-00518160 Here comes an epic growl. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00025-00518160-00519160 This one in particular felt amazing, but my tummy wasn't done yet. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00026-00519160-00520160 There were two more amazing-feeling and great-sounding growls to come almost immediately. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00027-00522803-00523803 Here's the next one. 0H9IDLTBUcY-00028-00527053-00528053 And here's the last one... 0H9IDLTBUcY-00029-00528053-00529053 ...with its follow-up gurgle. 0InAe4xFS5u-00000-00000158-00000870 When Zeenat came to us, she had a fractured hip and wounds on her leg. 0InAe4xFS5u-00001-00001079-00001391 She had been hit by a car... 0InAe4xFS5u-00002-00001391-00001743 ...and was in a pitiful condition. 0InAe4xFS5u-00003-00001743-00002005 Despite being in so much pain... 0InAe4xFS5u-00004-00002005-00002335 ...she remained very calm during her treatments. 0InAe4xFS5u-00005-00002457-00002767 Hazel had a similar story as well. 0InAe4xFS5u-00006-00002767-00003051 Her rescuers knew that she would not make it... 0InAe4xFS5u-00007-00003051-00003456 ...if she was left out on the streets. 0InAe4xFS5u-00008-00003456-00003778 They were unable to keep her with them... 0InAe4xFS5u-00009-00003778-00004260 ...which is why they got her here. 0InAe4xFS5u-00010-00004260-00004879 Zeenat got regular treatments till she recovered fully. 0InAe4xFS5u-00011-00004879-00005146 During that time, Hazel found a home. 0InAe4xFS5u-00012-00005146-00005485 Andrea from America decided to adopt her. 0InAe4xFS5u-00013-00005932-00006222 But due to flights not plying at that time... 0InAe4xFS5u-00014-00006222-00006571 ...we were not able to sent Hazel to her forever home immediately. 0InAe4xFS5u-00015-00007404-00007720 During that time, Zeenat and Hazel started becoming friends. 0InAe4xFS5u-00016-00007720-00008098 They became very close to each other. 0InAe4xFS5u-00017-00008098-00008660 They became best friends from the get go, and loved playing with each other. 0InAe4xFS5u-00018-00008660-00009119 When Hazel's adopter found out about her best friend... 0InAe4xFS5u-00019-00009119-00009491 ...she decided to adopt both of them together! 0InAe4xFS5u-00020-00009491-00009806 She didn't want to separate them <3 0InAe4xFS5u-00021-00010085-00010593 She even made a new garden for both of them to play in! 0InAe4xFS5u-00022-00010593-00011037 She couldn't wait for them to come home! 0InAe4xFS5u-00023-00011037-00011358 After months of waiting, when flights started flying... 0InAe4xFS5u-00024-00011358-00011786 ...we sent Hazel and Zeenat to their new home! 0InAe4xFS5u-00025-00012100-00012577 They love their new family, garden and life! 0InAe4xFS5u-00026-00012577-00012797 Could things get any better? :) 0InAe4xFS5u-00027-00013626-00014115 It's not that while Hazel and Zeenat were waiting to find a home... 0InAe4xFS5u-00028-00014115-00014517 ...other strays were not getting adopted... 0InAe4xFS5u-00029-00014517-00014878 ...because adoption is slowly becoming popular. 0InAe4xFS5u-00030-00014878-00015218 But breeders are still impregnating dogs to sell their puppies... 0InAe4xFS5u-00031-00015218-00015603 ...and there are people still interested in buying breed dogs. 0InAe4xFS5u-00032-00015603-00016086 So, if more people start adopting rather than buying dogs... 0InAe4xFS5u-00033-00016086-00016703 ...then maybe Hazel and Zeenat would have found a home right here in India. 0InAe4xFS5u-00034-00016703-00017088 Let's make adoption a bigger trend and remember that... 0InAe4xFS5u-00035-00017088-00017382 ...friends are made not bought! 0Jj5LhfDhxI-00001-00008483-00009160 ps

0KA5ai1XA6o-00001-00000680-00001064 Ihanzu framed specifically as a result of contact with Hadza 0KA5ai1XA6o-00002-00001552-00002352 The F-31 Bantu languages of north central Tanzania Nyilamba and Ihanzu do not feature labiodentals 0KA5ai1XA6o-00003-00002352-00002840 this is remarkable in that all of the other languages of the intermediate genetic grouping 0KA5ai1XA6o-00004-00002840-00003488 to which Nyilamba and Ihanzu belong - the Takama branch - feature labiodentals robustly with a 0KA5ai1XA6o-00005-00003488-00004088 specific focus on Ihanzu this talk describes the lack of labiodentals in this language as a direct 0KA5ai1XA6o-00006-00004088-00004648 result of contact with the language isolate Hadza following a brief introduction to the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00007-00004648-00005232 Ihanzu language and its larger context the talk reviews the lexical comparative work in Masele 0KA5ai1XA6o-00008-00005232-00005792 2001 to establish that though every language of the Takama branch developed labiodentals 0KA5ai1XA6o-00009-00005792-00006328 independently either through sound changes or via the borrowing of lexical items Ihonzu did not 0KA5ai1XA6o-00010-00006392-00006816 this preservation of older structures is attributed to the existence of a parallel 0KA5ai1XA6o-00011-00006816-00007368 structure that is a lack of labiodentals in the phonemic inventory in the contact language Hadza 0KA5ai1XA6o-00012-00007456-00007904 in order to attribute this preservation of a system lacking labiodentals to contact 0KA5ai1XA6o-00013-00007904-00008424 with the language isolate Hadza which currently features the labiodental [f] the talk establishes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00014-00008424-00008936 the adoption of [f] as a relatively recent effect of Hadza contact with the south Cushitic language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00015-00008936-00009504 Iraqw and argues that at the time and place of relevant contact with Ihanzu Hadza did not feature 0KA5ai1XA6o-00016-00009504-00010024 this phoneme additional non-linguistic evidence of the nature of Ihanzu Hadza contact is provided 0KA5ai1XA6o-00017-00010024-00010568 from oral histories origin stories and descent patterns of both the Ihanzu speaker community 0KA5ai1XA6o-00018-00010568-00011096 and the Bantu-speaking peoples of the wider region in the context of this workshop the talk provides 0KA5ai1XA6o-00019-00011096-00011656 a clear-cut example of the effects of a non-Bantu language - Hadza - on the sound inventory of 0KA5ai1XA6o-00020-00011744-00012256 a Bantu language Ihanzu within the larger ecology of the complex interchanges occurring 0KA5ai1XA6o-00021-00012256-00012736 in the Tanzanian Rift Valley Area in addition the proposed contact is recent enough to serve 0KA5ai1XA6o-00022-00012736-00013240 as a concrete case study but also old enough that is pre-colonial to require recourse to 0KA5ai1XA6o-00023-00013240-00013696 linguistic and other non-direct methods of observation such as oral traditions 0KA5ai1XA6o-00024-00013896-00014560 to begin the Tanzanian Rift Valley Area delimited in Kießling, Mous, and Nurse's 2008 chapter 0KA5ai1XA6o-00025-00014560-00014991 roughly according to this red line is unique on the African continent 0KA5ai1XA6o-00026-00014991-00015576 in that it is the only place in which all four of Greenberg's 1955 language families are in contact 0KA5ai1XA6o-00027-00015576-00016047 and have been in contact for a long period of time Greenberg's four-fold division has 0KA5ai1XA6o-00028-00016047-00016536 most probably outlived its usefulness but the Tanzanian Rift Valley Area is still an incredibly 0KA5ai1XA6o-00029-00016536-00017160 important place for the study of language contact with representatives from Afroasiatic, Nilotic, 0KA5ai1XA6o-00030-00017160-00017752 Niger-Congo as well as the possibly Khoe-Kwadi language Sandawe and the language isolate Hadza 0KA5ai1XA6o-00031-00017816-00018168 in focusing on just a couple of these languages today it is hoped that we 0KA5ai1XA6o-00032-00018168-00018760 will get a good sense for the richness and complexity of this small part of East Africa 0KA5ai1XA6o-00033-00018856-00019400 Ihanzo is a Bantu language of Malcolm Guthrie's geographically-based F-group no dedicated language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00034-00019400-00019792 survey has been conducted to determine the number of Ihanzu speakers but the Languages of 0KA5ai1XA6o-00035-00019792-00020320 Tanzania Project estimated that in 2009 there were 26 000 speakers of the Ihanzu in total 0KA5ai1XA6o-00036-00020376-00020888 the Ihanzu have extensive oral accounts of a historical migration to their current homeland 0KA5ai1XA6o-00037-00020888-00021704 and often recall moving south often by or through Lake Nyanza (Victoria) the Ihanzu are notable in 0KA5ai1XA6o-00038-00021704-00022168 the Tanzanian Rift in that they are sedentary farmers and see themselves unambiguously as such 0KA5ai1XA6o-00039-00022168-00022664 as compared to other farming groups who prefer to identify as pastoralists with sorghum and 0KA5ai1XA6o-00040-00022664-00023184 more recently maize as important staple crops culturally the Ihanzu are renowned throughout 0KA5ai1XA6o-00041-00023184-00023592 the Rift Valley Area for their rain making an institutionalized practice that continues 0KA5ai1XA6o-00042-00023592-00024112 to this present day for an idea of what spoken Ihanzu sounds like i'll play a short recording 0KA5ai1XA6o-00043-00024112-00025384 of Samweli Issiah talking with John Kipimo about Ihanzu riddles as a literary and pedagogical genre 0KA5ai1XA6o-00044-00027992-00028512 the recording of this talk will be stored as part of WOCAL10 with the open science framework 0KA5ai1XA6o-00045-00028512-00028936 and I will also make the talk available on YouTube via the link displayed here 0KA5ai1XA6o-00046-00029464-00029936 returning to our map of the area I'd like to visualize the feature which we will be 0KA5ai1XA6o-00047-00029936-00030448 examining today that is the lack of a whole articulatory subclass of fricatives that is 0KA5ai1XA6o-00048-00030448-00031000 the labiodental fricatives the most relevant sounds for this area being [f] and [v] the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00049-00031000-00031624 most unambiguous example is Ihanzu but for at least three other languages - Hadza Sandawe and 0KA5ai1XA6o-00050-00031624-00032127 possibly also Nyilamba - the argument can be made that [f] and [v] are rare 0KA5ai1XA6o-00051-00032127-00032472 occur in recent borrowings only and are otherwise marginal sounds 0KA5ai1XA6o-00052-00032600-00033296 swapping our shapes for pins and changing our base map to Google maps an even more striking pattern 0KA5ai1XA6o-00053-00033296-00033864 emergence we find if we zoom out that the rest of the languages with which Ihanzu shares common 0KA5ai1XA6o-00054-00033864-00034560 predecessor - Takama - all have the phonemes [f] and [v] save Ihanzu and probably Nyilamba 0KA5ai1XA6o-00055-00034736-00035200 to begin the data seem to clearly show that Proto-Takama the predecessor to 0KA5ai1XA6o-00056-00035200-00035784 all the languages shown in this tree adapted from Masele 2001 did not possess any fricatives 0KA5ai1XA6o-00057-00035888-00036408 as each language patterns very differently in terms of where and what fricatives it displays 0KA5ai1XA6o-00058-00036408-00037016 for the reconstructed Proto-Bantu source lexeme in our first example showing the reflexes of the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00059-00037016-00037640 reconstructed Proto-Bantu word for "foam" we can see what looks like a neat division with Kimbu 0KA5ai1XA6o-00060-00037640-00038344 Nyamwezi and Sukuma developing the labiodental [f] and Ihanzu-Nyilamba retaining [p] based 0KA5ai1XA6o-00061-00038344-00038792 on a pattern like this alone we may think that Proto-Takama actually did have the labiodental 0KA5ai1XA6o-00062-00038864-00039416 our next example showing the reflexes of the reconstructed Proto-Bantu form for "ashes" 0KA5ai1XA6o-00063-00039416-00039968 begins to show us how the pattern is actually less neat with the Nyamwezi form developing a 0KA5ai1XA6o-00064-00039968-00040576 voiced labiodental and the Sukuma form developing a bilabial fricative this represents a specific 0KA5ai1XA6o-00065-00040576-00041128 form of palatalization which Masele shows applying specifically to Nyamwezi varieties only and we can 0KA5ai1XA6o-00066-00041128-00041928 compare the work of Labroussi in 1999 on Bantu specific palatalization our next example giving 0KA5ai1XA6o-00067-00041928-00042528 the reflexes for the reconstructed Proto-Bantu form "to fear" shows that the diversity of sound 0KA5ai1XA6o-00068-00042528-00043104 changes from Proto-Takama is similar for Nyaturu Ihanzu and Nyilamba each of these forms patterning 0KA5ai1XA6o-00069-00043104-00043704 differently and Nyaturu developing a labiodental [f] from the Proto-Bantu bilabial stop [b] 0KA5ai1XA6o-00070-00043832-00044352 in the next example we can see another labiodental in Nyaturu this time an [f] developing from a 0KA5ai1XA6o-00071-00044352-00044984 velar stop preceding a super close [u] sound Nyaturu is described by Masele as undergoing 0KA5ai1XA6o-00072-00044984-00045560 a group of special lenition processes markedly different from Sukuma and Nyamwezi resulting in 0KA5ai1XA6o-00073-00045560-00046256 its highly salient phonology sound changes aside labiodentals have also entered languages of the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00074-00046256-00046824 Takama branch by borrowing either from languages outside of Takama or from other languages within 0KA5ai1XA6o-00075-00046824-00047312 Takama itself Kimbu is a good example of this where the data shows that we don't see any 0KA5ai1XA6o-00076-00047312-00047784 of the consistency which would otherwise indicate the application of sound changes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00077-00047864-00048400 in the examples "foam" and "to fear" we see Kimbu patterning as Nyamwezi-Sukuma 0KA5ai1XA6o-00078-00048400-00049008 but with the example "ashes" we see Kimbu patterning with Nyaturu, Ihanzu and Nyilamba 0KA5ai1XA6o-00079-00049008-00049456 this leads Masele to conclude that Kimbu did not undergo any of the relevant sound changes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00080-00049456-00050080 from Proto-Takama but instead adopted many loans from other Takama languages which did especially 0KA5ai1XA6o-00081-00050080-00050736 from the Nyamwezi varieties the story then is that at some earlier point Kimbu would have had forms 0KA5ai1XA6o-00082-00050736-00051416 for "foam" and "ashes" more similar to the forms in Ihanzu and Nyilamba but then these forms were 0KA5ai1XA6o-00083-00051416-00052112 replaced by forms more similar to Nyamwezi and Sukuma due to intensive contact boring however 0KA5ai1XA6o-00084-00052112-00052848 did not introduce either [f] or [v] into Ihanzu as this final example illustrates within the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00085-00052848-00053512 Ihanzu-Nyilamba branch the form for grass [masaánsi] exists in one form or another for all 0KA5ai1XA6o-00086-00053512-00054208 varieties except for Ihanzu which uses the term [mapwa] it also seems like [masaánsi] isn't an 0KA5ai1XA6o-00087-00054208-00054808 innovation within Nyilamba in that it also exists in the geographically distant Kimbu language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00088-00054808-00055360 instead it looks like [mapwa] in Ihanzu is the result of a borrowing from geographically close 0KA5ai1XA6o-00089-00055360-00056008 Jinakiiya variety of Sukuma [mafa] the form is not simply borrowed into Ihanzu with the labiodental 0KA5ai1XA6o-00090-00056008-00056791 however it is instead adapted as [mapwa] to repair the illicit labiodental segment [f] reviewing what 0KA5ai1XA6o-00091-00056791-00057376 we have just seen data originally presented and analyzed in Masele 2001 shows us that Proto-Takama 0KA5ai1XA6o-00092-00057376-00057991 did not feature any fricatives including the labiodentals [f] and [v] and instead all of its 0KA5ai1XA6o-00093-00057991-00058504 daughter languages developed [f] and [v] through a series of more or less independent sound changes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00094-00058504-00058984 or through later borrowings of lexical items from languages which had undergone these sound changes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00095-00059072-00059536 except for Ihanzu and Nyilamba which did not undergo the sound changes resulting in the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00096-00059536-00060176 labiodentals [f] and [v] and also did not adopt [f] and [v] through borrowing as such the lack 0KA5ai1XA6o-00097-00060176-00060784 of [f] and [v] in Ihanzu and Nyilamba is in fact a case of retention from Proto-Takama and not a case 0KA5ai1XA6o-00098-00060784-00061416 of innovation but why the summary above might be a satisfactory explanation but it does not 0KA5ai1XA6o-00099-00061416-00061967 address the strikingly salient pattern that of all the Bantu languages of the genetic grouping 0KA5ai1XA6o-00100-00061967-00062567 and within the wider geographical spread only Ihanzu and Nyilamba do not feature labiodentals 0KA5ai1XA6o-00101-00062567-00063055 so the rest of this talk will proceed from this question entertaining a contact scenario as the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00102-00063055-00063576 result for why this has come about and though language contact is much more often discussed 0KA5ai1XA6o-00103-00063576-00064232 in the contact of in the context of it being an initiator or facilitator of sound change 0KA5ai1XA6o-00104-00064232-00064720 we do actually have some accounts of language contact as being an inhibitor of sound change 0KA5ai1XA6o-00105-00064776-00065288 take for example the case study of the Spanish as spoken in Majorca which is analyzed as having 0KA5ai1XA6o-00106-00065288-00065792 retained several features of earlier Spanish where other Spanish varieties lost these features due 0KA5ai1XA6o-00107-00065792-00066240 to the sound changes listed here in Majorcan Spanish the reason that these sound changes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00108-00066240-00066784 were blocked or diminished was that the same features of earlier Spanish are also present in 0KA5ai1XA6o-00109-00066784-00067424 contemporary Catalan a language with which Spanish speakers in Majorca would be in regular contact 0KA5ai1XA6o-00110-00067616-00068216 I'd like to propose that the same sort of dynamic applies to Ihanzu and Nyilamba all of the sound 0KA5ai1XA6o-00111-00068216-00068760 changes underwent in the surrounding Takama-branch Bantu languages including the palatalization and 0KA5ai1XA6o-00112-00068760-00069392 lenition processes noted above were blocked by the preservation of parallel structures of a language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00113-00069392-00070024 with which Ihanzu was in contact specifically this parallel structure would be the absence 0KA5ai1XA6o-00114-00070024-00070704 of labiodental fricatives [f] and [v] in the phonological inventory the specific contact 0KA5ai1XA6o-00115-00070704-00071392 language being the language isolate with which Ihanzu is geographically contiguous Hadza Hadza is 0KA5ai1XA6o-00116-00071392-00072072 spoken by between 1 000 and 6 000 people near Lake Eyasi and the speaker community has been a source 0KA5ai1XA6o-00117-00072072-00072640 of fascination for anthropologists and tourists for many years due to a subset of Hadza-speakers 0KA5ai1XA6o-00118-00072640-00073224 practicing a form of hunter-gatherer subsistence linguistically Hadza features a series of phonemic 0KA5ai1XA6o-00119-00073224-00073824 click consonants a rather free constituent order and very rich oral tradition for some idea of 0KA5ai1XA6o-00120-00073824-00074296 how Hadza sounds here's a quick recording of Mariamu Anyawire and Tumaini Njegela 0KA5ai1XA6o-00121-00077856-00078328 however in proposing Hadza as the language which has resulted in Ihanzu and Nyilamba 0KA5ai1XA6o-00122-00078328-00078632 not developing labiodentals we encounter one major problem 0KA5ai1XA6o-00123-00078752-00079088 and that being that Hadza does possess a labiodental fricative 0KA5ai1XA6o-00124-00079088-00079760 [f] so I'd now like to argue that the adoption of this phoneme into Hadza was a recent development 0KA5ai1XA6o-00125-00079944-00080456 after going through a version of Kirk Miller's manuscript of manuscript Hadza lexicon of the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00126-00080456-00080960 several thousand entries I managed to find 21 words containing [f] virtually all of 0KA5ai1XA6o-00127-00080960-00081536 these words are marked as possible loans and many of the remaining use [f] in a mimetic 0KA5ai1XA6o-00128-00081536-00082184 sense two words out of the 21 are probably from the group of Southern Nilotic languages known as 0KA5ai1XA6o-00129-00082184-00082816 Datooga and seven more are recognizable as borrowings from the South Cushitic Language Iraqw 0KA5ai1XA6o-00130-00082944-00083656 three further forms are not traceable to Iraqw but to its predecessor language Proto West Rift some 0KA5ai1XA6o-00131-00083656-00084216 forms even seem strikingly similar to Swahili or perhaps some other G-group Bantu language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00132-00084376-00085080 of the two remaining forms one is the name of a bird known as a drongo sometimes in English 0KA5ai1XA6o-00133-00085080-00085664 called the water bottle bird and is clearly onomatopoeic in form the remaining is also 0KA5ai1XA6o-00134-00085664-00086200 memetic this time an ideophone for something moving at speed the remaining five forms in 0KA5ai1XA6o-00135-00086200-00086824 the manuscript lexicon weren't listed as having any immediate obvious sources in other languages 0KA5ai1XA6o-00136-00086824-00087384 but I expect that with a bit of head-scratching these could also be resolved as borrowings as 0KA5ai1XA6o-00137-00087384-00087968 such we can conclude that Hadza does not feature [v] and until very recently featured [f] only as 0KA5ai1XA6o-00138-00087968-00088536 a marginal consonant or perhaps did not feature it at all this allows us to proceed on the assumption 0KA5ai1XA6o-00139-00088536-00089088 that the structure of the Hadza phonemic inventory could well have influenced Hadza and Nyilamba 0KA5ai1XA6o-00140-00089088-00089672 resulting in both of these languages contemporary lack of labiodentals the last piece of this puzzle 0KA5ai1XA6o-00141-00089672-00090264 is then to make the case for contact not just in terms of geographical proximity but also in 0KA5ai1XA6o-00142-00090264-00090896 terms of the kind of intense prolonged interaction required for two languages to impact one another 0KA5ai1XA6o-00143-00091048-00091408 the case for this kind of contact between the Ihanzu and Hadza speaker communities 0KA5ai1XA6o-00144-00091408-00091944 is actually not entirely uncontroversial to make this is because in most contemporary accounts the 0KA5ai1XA6o-00145-00091944-00092504 Hadzabe are often portrayed as geographically isolated and culturally homogeneous people 0KA5ai1XA6o-00146-00092584-00093144 experiences of contact are often either deliberately downplayed or erased of Blurton 0KA5ai1XA6o-00147-00093144-00093560 Jones' first quote I think the preceding parts of this talk have also made it clear 0KA5ai1XA6o-00148-00093560-00094200 that while the Hadza language is distinct it also bears witness to layer upon layer of contact with 0KA5ai1XA6o-00149-00094200-00094696 all of the neighbouring peoples of Blurton Jones' second quote I think that this is just plain 0KA5ai1XA6o-00150-00094696-00095184 inaccurate both in the context of the 20th century as well as the several centuries that preceded it 0KA5ai1XA6o-00151-00095320-00095808 moving on from the views of evolutionary anthropologists convincing evidence of this 0KA5ai1XA6o-00152-00095808-00096496 kind of intense prolonged contact for which we are looking appears again and again in Sanders' 2008 0KA5ai1XA6o-00153-00096496-00097008 ethnography of Ihanzu rainmaking it is mentioned that the Ihanzu an agricultural people have 0KA5ai1XA6o-00154-00097008-00097528 multiple accounts of fleeing to the forests during times of famine to live with the Hadzabe people 0KA5ai1XA6o-00155-00097528-00098040 who showed them how to hunt and gather wild foods until crops could be grown and harvested 0KA5ai1XA6o-00156-00098040-00098656 again this is the same sort of account given by the Jinyakiiya Sukuma community in an account 0KA5ai1XA6o-00157-00098712-00099272 recently given by Amani Lusekelo people who relied on agriculture to survive would integrate 0KA5ai1XA6o-00158-00099272-00099824 themselves into Hadza-speaking communities during famine perhaps associated with this 0KA5ai1XA6o-00159-00099824-00100480 is another concept in sanders work that of the title of anyaihᵼ an Ihanzu term meaning something 0KA5ai1XA6o-00160-00100480-00101104 like "owners of the land" Sanders explains that this title was given exclusively to two groups 0KA5ai1XA6o-00161-00101184-00101864 the Ihanzu hereditary rainmaker clan of the Anyampanda and the Hadzabe people this echoes 0KA5ai1XA6o-00162-00101864-00102368 the kind of dynamic described described in Gunnink et al. 2015 where early speakers of 0KA5ai1XA6o-00163-00102368-00102872 southwestern Bantu languages upon arriving in a new place are understood to have held the existing 0KA5ai1XA6o-00164-00102872-00103335 speaker communities in high regard especially for their familiarity with the local environment 0KA5ai1XA6o-00165-00103504-00104088 drawing clues from a neighbouring region of Tanzania Bender Shetler 2003's work on the oral 0KA5ai1XA6o-00166-00104088-00104728 histories of the peoples of South Mara reveal the centrality of their matrilineal descent patterns 0KA5ai1XA6o-00167-00104728-00105248 to both their history and to their legend the two of which are often difficult to disentangle 0KA5ai1XA6o-00168-00105320-00105840 ethnic origin stories are often framed in terms of a group of sisters traveling and 0KA5ai1XA6o-00169-00105840-00106383 fragmenting across new and unfamiliar land eventually encountering an unknown man who 0KA5ai1XA6o-00170-00106383-00107032 is skilled in hunting and making fire the marriage of this man and one of these sisters and the man's 0KA5ai1XA6o-00171-00107032-00107616 subsequent subordination to his wife is seen as the legendary beginning of the ethnic group 0KA5ai1XA6o-00172-00107720-00108304 Bender Shetler comments at length on the utility of matrilineal descent systems among groups in a 0KA5ai1XA6o-00173-00108304-00108904 frontier model of expansion which are well suited for the incorporation of outsiders who a slowly 0KA5ai1XA6o-00174-00108904-00109496 expanding agricultural people would encounter as they spread over generations across the land 0KA5ai1XA6o-00175-00109632-00110272 having read the accounts of local Ihanzu historian Onesmo Dadi the parallels are striking as much 0KA5ai1XA6o-00176-00110272-00110840 of his account also details the movement and spread of peoples across a new frontier land it 0KA5ai1XA6o-00177-00110840-00111280 should also be said that the Ihanzu people also practice matrilineal descent seeing 0KA5ai1XA6o-00178-00111344-00112048 children produced of mixed marriages as ethnically Ihanzu and as such it would not be surprising to 0KA5ai1XA6o-00179-00112048-00112535 learn that many Ihanzu-speaking children were born to men who spoke Hadza as their first language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00180-00112535-00113264 children would have learned the language of their mother that being Ihanzu to recapitulate then 0KA5ai1XA6o-00181-00113264-00113776 historical sources as well as anthropological evidence indicates intense contact between 0KA5ai1XA6o-00182-00113776-00114208 Ihanzu and Hadza speech communities with the possibility that Ihanzu communities 0KA5ai1XA6o-00183-00114208-00114656 incorporated significant numbers of Hada of speaking people over an extended period of time 0KA5ai1XA6o-00184-00114776-00115304 to conclude then through a series of different sound changes or through borrowing every language 0KA5ai1XA6o-00185-00115304-00115864 of the Takama branch features labiodental sounds [f] and [v] except for Ihanzu and Nyilamba which 0KA5ai1XA6o-00186-00115864-00116504 do not feature [f] or [v] in Ihanzu and Nyilamba sound changes resulting in [f] and [v] and other 0KA5ai1XA6o-00187-00116504-00117048 languages as well as zero adaptation of words with [f] and [v] were blocked by the lack of 0KA5ai1XA6o-00188-00117048-00117559 labiodentals in hanza another language which many members of the speaker communities knew 0KA5ai1XA6o-00189-00117632-00118183 at the time of the relevant Hadza-Ihanzu and -Nyilamba contact noted above Hadza did not 0KA5ai1XA6o-00190-00118183-00118783 possess labiodental consonants or labiodentals were highly marginal in the sound system 0KA5ai1XA6o-00191-00118783-00119200 the labiodental [f] in contemporary Hadza is the result of more recent 0KA5ai1XA6o-00192-00119200-00120583 contact with the South Cushitic language Iraq thank you and these are my references 0KA5ai1XA6o-00193-00121768-00121776 you 0KK8yEu3kzI-00000-00000944-00000952 AJO 0MsPmCRsZUU-00000-00000003-00000413 So I was playing some ranked Vayne game today, and before going into the actual 0MsPmCRsZUU-00001-00000413-00000888 game footage, I want to show you what happened. First look at the scores. Seems 0MsPmCRsZUU-00002-00000888-00001296 like an average game where you won two lanes and lost one, junglers were pretty 0MsPmCRsZUU-00003-00001296-00001760 useless on both sides and each team had their fed star players. Now look at the 0MsPmCRsZUU-00004-00001760-00002064 damage. Azir is clearly a problem for the enemy 0MsPmCRsZUU-00005-00002064-00002501 team, but let me tell you that they were diving his passive like idiots, so it's 0MsPmCRsZUU-00006-00002501-00003096 not like he was playing spectacularly well. I mean, 9.2 is good, but nothing you 0MsPmCRsZUU-00007-00003096-00003492 don't see every day. I was 7 zero at the end but my damage is 0MsPmCRsZUU-00008-00003492-00003960 nothing spectacular either. It's only 2k more damage than the enemy Ashe that 0MsPmCRsZUU-00009-00003960-00004719 ended 0.4.0. So how did we end up winning in 19.23 minutes? 0MsPmCRsZUU-00010-00004719-00005121 No one went afk, no one inted, nothing like that. We were 0MsPmCRsZUU-00011-00005121-00005511 able to turn a winning lane into a winning game, where I was serving as a 0MsPmCRsZUU-00012-00005511-00006003 shot caller for my team. You also have to do this. There's two crucial aspects for 0MsPmCRsZUU-00013-00006003-00006450 our win here, but let's take a look at the game. So normal farming situation 0MsPmCRsZUU-00014-00006450-00007004 with a bit of poke here and there and we get a gank that ends up in a kill. 0MsPmCRsZUU-00015-00007481-00007920 This actually freed Warwick to help out the other lanes and forget about bot 0MsPmCRsZUU-00016-00007920-00008302 for a while. I mean, a kill on Vayne this early is enough to bully your lane 0MsPmCRsZUU-00017-00008302-00008710 opponents, but I hadn't backed yet, so I play carefully and let my support do its 0MsPmCRsZUU-00018-00008710-00009085 job which is poking. I know Ashe has no summoners so we have all the killing 0MsPmCRsZUU-00019-00009085-00009529 potential on our side and we can still back off if need be. Ashe oversteps here 0MsPmCRsZUU-00020-00009529-00009931 greeding for two casters and my positioning seemed very harmless here, 0MsPmCRsZUU-00021-00009931-00010410 but she has no vision on the bush and my flash is up. 0MsPmCRsZUU-00022-00011368-00011836 Now I'm 3-0 and have a 10 CS lead. Lane won, Ashe won't be a problem. 0MsPmCRsZUU-00023-00011836-00012283 We might even win 3v2 fights. So, what's the plan now? What should we do? 0MsPmCRsZUU-00024-00012283-00012700 Well, being that we have such a great advantage here in the bot lane, we'll try 0MsPmCRsZUU-00025-00012700-00013089 to kill them and get first tower before top does. He's winning his Lane and 0MsPmCRsZUU-00026-00013089-00013519 bullying Graves. Now the lane's pushing against us, which is good because it'll 0MsPmCRsZUU-00027-00013519-00013866 force Ashe and Janna to come forward if they want to farm. Janna goes into the 0MsPmCRsZUU-00028-00013866-00014224 bush and they think they're 1v1ing me when Brand is right behind me. 0MsPmCRsZUU-00029-00014224-00014622 The fight goes really badly for them and we now focus on getting the first tower 0MsPmCRsZUU-00030-00014622-00015519 before top does being that Darius is getting quite strong. Why not get Drake? 0MsPmCRsZUU-00031-00015519-00015931 Warwick was bot side and it would have been free with Ashe dead, but always 0MsPmCRsZUU-00032-00015931-00016441 prioritize first tower over a cloud Drake. We could have backed here, but mid 0MsPmCRsZUU-00033-00016441-00016891 was open and another tower was free. No jungler, Ashe bot, 0MsPmCRsZUU-00034-00016891-00017320 Janna low and Darius was under control with 2 top. This is what I don't see 0MsPmCRsZUU-00035-00017320-00017806 people doing: Look at who is where and prioritize free objectives. We could have 0MsPmCRsZUU-00036-00017806-00018331 easily stayed bot and killed Ashe 2v1, but why? For score? For damage output? 0MsPmCRsZUU-00037-00018331-00018898 This tower would go down and stay down! Ashe would just respawn. If you get an 0MsPmCRsZUU-00038-00018898-00019339 advantage in your lane, start thinking. After you kill your lane opponent, look 0MsPmCRsZUU-00039-00019339-00019750 at the status of your game. Where can you get something permanent? A tower? 0MsPmCRsZUU-00040-00019750-00020295 A dragon? Dismiss free kills and go for free objectives. 0MsPmCRsZUU-00041-00021324-00021776 Right here we managed to kill the bot lane again, 0MsPmCRsZUU-00042-00022609-00023090 but should we overextend bot while their jungler is alive? Why not take a free 0MsPmCRsZUU-00043-00023090-00023812 dragon, until we can figure out where their jungler is? We then take the 0MsPmCRsZUU-00044-00023812-00024271 opportunity to pressure bot and once we realize we're outnumbered, we rotate and 0MsPmCRsZUU-00045-00024271-00025162 join up another fed member to try and take yet another objective. They're 0MsPmCRsZUU-00046-00025162-00025531 committing to mistakes and this essentially allows us to get rift free, 0MsPmCRsZUU-00047-00025531-00026225 since they're forced to defend mid and bot at the same time. None of the 0MsPmCRsZUU-00048-00026225-00026719 objectives we took so far were contested or risky and that's all due to the fact 0MsPmCRsZUU-00049-00026719-00027313 that we had our lane won. Now look at the game: it's 17-9. It doesn't seem that far 0MsPmCRsZUU-00050-00027313-00027727 and won until you noticed that all their kills are on the Darius. Get him out of 0MsPmCRsZUU-00051-00027727-00028288 the picture and it's essentially a 17-1. Now look at this. The crucial moment of 0MsPmCRsZUU-00052-00028288-00028900 the game: We have two towers, a 4k gold advantage. The minute is 17:22. The game 0MsPmCRsZUU-00053-00028900-00029587 will finish at 19:23 without a surrender but a full-on nexus siege. How? Objective 0MsPmCRsZUU-00054-00029587-00030169 priority and rotation. We have a glorified positioning here, which allows 0MsPmCRsZUU-00055-00030169-00030581 us to take yet another free tower. Darius had just backed, which gave us free time 0MsPmCRsZUU-00056-00030581-00030988 to poke Janna out of the lane and Azir's tower here prevented any flanking from 0MsPmCRsZUU-00057-00030988-00031463 Shaco. We didn't greed dive for a 0.4.0 Ashe which couldn't defend 0MsPmCRsZUU-00058-00031463-00031982 herself, we simplified it and took down the tower permanently. Darius is actually 0MsPmCRsZUU-00059-00031982-00032363 a bad champion versus our team, because he needs to get close to be effective or 0MsPmCRsZUU-00060-00032363-00032869 he'll be able to shine in a 1v1 scenario. But as a team with two fed people which 0MsPmCRsZUU-00061-00032869-00033322 can easily push him away... Well, it's sad, and he's literally the only dangerous 0MsPmCRsZUU-00062-00033322-00033728 one. We still had our rift which would tank for us and we forced it down mid, 0MsPmCRsZUU-00063-00033728-00034102 without diving using our advantage. 0MsPmCRsZUU-00064-00034727-00035192 The moment Darius oversteps, we commit to killing him and the game is essentially 0MsPmCRsZUU-00065-00035192-00035573 over here. We don't care about top pushing, we can take more and more 0MsPmCRsZUU-00066-00035573-00036188 objectives. No one cared about Janna and Ashe here, I mean, look they're being 0MsPmCRsZUU-00067-00036188-00036614 ignored. They're literally useless bugs here and the towers are going all the 0MsPmCRsZUU-00068-00036614-00037007 way down. By using the advantage to rotate and take objectives rather than 0MsPmCRsZUU-00069-00037007-00037421 getting more kills and milking out a won lane, we were able to finish a game 0MsPmCRsZUU-00070-00037421-00037973 in 19 minutes with a very unimpressive 22-9 score. Take your time to think about 0MsPmCRsZUU-00071-00037973-00038378 what and where you can be useful for your team's global objectives, instead of 0MsPmCRsZUU-00072-00038378-00038822 your own personal score and watch your win rate blow upwards. I hope this video 0MsPmCRsZUU-00073-00038822-00039170 helped you out. If you liked it then please it would help me a lot if you 0MsPmCRsZUU-00074-00039170-00039455 clicked on that like button and if you know that you have a few friends that 0MsPmCRsZUU-00075-00039455-00039824 are in trouble and their technical capacities are good, they're getting fed 0MsPmCRsZUU-00076-00039824-00040175 blah blah blah, but they're not winning their games, please share this video with 0MsPmCRsZUU-00077-00040175-00040681 them. I think it will help them out a ton.

We'reoften 0pGgs8XUHrM-00006-00002865-00003098 unfamiliar with the event or with context, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00007-00003098-00003623 but we always end the conversation feeling alittle bit wiser. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00008-00003623-00004201 Daniel: For the Anarchist Pedagogies Network festival, School Revolt 2022, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00009-00004201-00004545 we thoughtwe'd share some of those conversations with you. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00010-00004746-00007691 [interlude - background sound: the noise of preparing breakfast and coffee] 0pGgs8XUHrM-00011-00007719-00008437 Daniel: Okay, hi everyone. Today it's March 14th, andwe're gonna read the two entries 0pGgs8XUHrM-00012-00008437-00008956 from Working Class History for that particular day. So do youwant-- Do you want to read it 0pGgs8XUHrM-00013-00008956-00009121 Pelle, or should I? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00014-00009121-00009807 Pelle: Uh, you, you. Daniel: Okay, yeah, so March 14th, 1970. That'sfour 0pGgs8XUHrM-00015-00009807-00010126 years before I was born. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00016-00010136-00010752 "Two sailors, Alvin Glatkowski and Clyde McKay, mutinied to protest the war and took control 0pGgs8XUHrM-00017-00010752-00011372 of the SS Columbia Eagle, which was carrying ten thousand tons of napalm for the US military 0pGgs8XUHrM-00018-00011372-00012000 in Vietnam. They then sailed the ship to Cambodia, which was neutral at the time, to prevent 0pGgs8XUHrM-00019-00012007-00012509 the cargo being used. Initially, they appeared 0pGgs8XUHrM-00020-00012509-00012663 to have succeeded, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00021-00012663-00013243 as the Cambodian government agreed to their demands and gave them asylum. But, unfortunately 0pGgs8XUHrM-00022-00013243-00013453 for the mutineers, just days later, there was 0pGgs8XUHrM-00023-00013453-00013935 a military coup, and a new pro-US regime took power. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00024-00013935-00014626 Glatkowski and McKay were locked up and the ship handed back to US forces. McKay managed to 0pGgs8XUHrM-00025-00014626-00015229 escape from prison and joined Khmer Rouge guerillas in the countryside. The guerillas later killed him. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00026-00015229-00015748 Glatkowski eventually returned to the US and was jailed for ten years." 0pGgs8XUHrM-00027-00015748-00016270 Pelle: What's a coup? Daniel: So, yeah, this... So, it talksabout 0pGgs8XUHrM-00028-00016270-00016484 a military coup. It's basically, in 0pGgs8XUHrM-00029-00016484-00016950 this case, where the military take over for maybea variety of reasons, but they take 0pGgs8XUHrM-00030-00016950-00017254 over control (Pelle: Take over governments?) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00031-00017254-00017753 Yeah, basically, yeah. And then usually whathappens is there's a period where the military controls 0pGgs8XUHrM-00032-00017753-00018276 things and then another, um, let's say government steps in, right? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00033-00018276-00018376 (Pelle: Yeah.) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00034-00018376-00018917 So it describes the other government as a"pro-US regime," so you know it wouldn't have been, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00035-00018917-00019351 like, voted in but probably people put into government. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00036-00019351-00019571 (Pelle: Yeah.) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00037-00019665-00021856 Pelle: (in Norwegian) They took over the ship that was going to bomb somewhere. And they 0pGgs8XUHrM-00038-00021856-00022665 took over the ship they were going to bomb with 0pGgs8XUHrM-00039-00022665-00023379 Pelle: (in Norwegian) And they steered it away, they stopped it, because napalm is a 0pGgs8XUHrM-00040-00023379-00024484 very extreme way to die (Daniel: Yeah, exactly.) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00041-00024484-00025480 They thought... that's why they didn't want it to happen because it's too unbelievable 0pGgs8XUHrM-00042-00025480-00025761 Daniel: Yeah, I mean, I'm thinking just, like. therisk they took then, right? So they take 0pGgs8XUHrM-00043-00025761-00026412 over this military ship, right? Like you say it's-- Like, it says "10,000 tons of napalm." 0pGgs8XUHrM-00044-00026412-00026908 Pelle: (in Norwegian) that's a lot. Daniel: Yeah, and it's on its way to Vietnam, uh, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00045-00026908-00027505 that's kind of one of the-- If you like the wars that, you know, it's kind of well-known 0pGgs8XUHrM-00046-00027505-00027877 for-- (Pelle: Napalm?) Yeah, and its use or the US use of napalm. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00047-00027877-00028288 It's been used other places, but... But it's particularly well-known there. (Pelle: Yeah.) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00048-00028288-00028506 And how uh, how destructive it was. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00049-00028506-00028816 Pelle: (in Norwegian) It's one of the most well-known wars. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00050-00028816-00029127 Daniel: Yeah, so they took over the ship. You know,that's kind of a risk, you know, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00051-00029127-00029227 they risked 0pGgs8XUHrM-00052-00029227-00029583 being like court martialed. Maybe even,like I'm assuming, like sentenced to 0pGgs8XUHrM-00053-00029583-00029799 death as well. Could be like the-- the punishment. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00054-00029799-00030458 Pelle: (in Norwegian) Yes, because it was legal... it's still legal to be sentenced 0pGgs8XUHrM-00055-00030458-00030826 to death in America now. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00056-00030826-00031151 Daniel: Yeah, there are somestates in the US that have that. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00057-00031151-00031489 Pelle: (in Norwegian) Yes, and here it was all of them, almost. Yes, it was all of them 0pGgs8XUHrM-00058-00031489-00032245 at that time. So they took a huge risk doing it. It was very brave. That they dared to 0pGgs8XUHrM-00059-00032245-00032345 do it. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00060-00032345-00032761 Daniel: That's right. Actually, um, WorkingClass History have a podcast on this. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00061-00032761-00033175 Pelle: (in Norwegian) About this? Daniel: Yeah, if you look closely in the book, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00062-00033175-00033362 you can see there's a little reference. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00063-00033362-00033886 Um, which I listened to, uh, a while back. It wasreally interesting. And yeah, obviously, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00064-00033886-00034488 it took some planning as well so the two who-- who carriedthis out, you know, took a long 0pGgs8XUHrM-00065-00034488-00034829 time. They were very careful in how they... how they did this.And they had like a pretty 0pGgs8XUHrM-00066-00034829-00034984 good plan in place. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00067-00034984-00035531 Um, yeah, very kind of very dangerous, but um...Also incredible, you know. Thinking 0pGgs8XUHrM-00068-00035531-00036453 about like putting out... in a way, out of action all those... all that... all that napalm. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00069-00036453-00036690 Because we've talked a littlebit about napalm, right? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00070-00036690-00036902 (Pelle verbally indicates yes.) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00071-00036902-00037450 Um, yeah. Um, I can't remember what connection it was in, but when maybe... when we've talked 0pGgs8XUHrM-00072-00037450-00037969 about Vietnambefore. Pelle: Yeah, yeah... (in Norwegian). How deadly 0pGgs8XUHrM-00073-00037969-00038890 napalm is. How it's such an incredibly bad way to die. It's very painful. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00074-00038890-00039770 Daniel: Yeah. Oh yeah, I mean it's like a, um... It's likethey call it like a petrochemical. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00075-00039770-00039870 It's like... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00076-00039870-00040037 It's like petrol or gasoline, right? (Pelle: Yeah.) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00077-00040037-00040422 But it burns like at a much higher temperature and uh... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00078-00040422-00040950 Like, so it destroys a lot more, and it's also, I think, like kind of... like sticky, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00079-00040950-00041355 if you can describe it in that way.So it sticks to things when it burns them. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00080-00041355-00041812 And of course that includes people, right? Uh,and other animals. So it's it's just 0pGgs8XUHrM-00081-00041812-00041912 really... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00082-00041912-00042365 Pelle: (in Norwegian) So it's not just people who die, there's lots of animals lives that 0pGgs8XUHrM-00083-00042365-00042634 are completely wiped out. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00084-00042634-00043053 Daniel: Yeah. I mean, a lot of this was, like,dropped in. Like, I think in, like uh... forest or 0pGgs8XUHrM-00085-00043053-00043603 jungle areas. (Pelle: forests) Yeah so like, yeah,you destroy, like, huge parts of the... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00086-00043603-00044159 of the landscape, essentially, with this with these... with these bombs. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00087-00044425-00045302 Pelle: (in Norwegian) Maybe we should move on to March 14 2018? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00088-00045417-00045998 Daniel: Yeah good idea. Soyeah, March 14th, 2018. It says here: 0pGgs8XUHrM-00089-00045998-00046562 "Marielle Franco, a bisexual Afro-Brazilian socialist and feminist was assassinated in 0pGgs8XUHrM-00090-00046562-00046780 Rio de Janeiro. Raised in a 0pGgs8XUHrM-00091-00046780-00047355 favela (or shanty town) in the city, she began work at the age of eleven, and later raised 0pGgs8XUHrM-00092-00047355-00047455 a daughter 0pGgs8XUHrM-00093-00047455-00047890 as a single mother working for the minimum wage, before being elected to the city council 0pGgs8XUHrM-00094-00047890-00048171 in 2016. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00095-00048171-00048681 The day before her murder, she had spoken out against extrajudicial killings by police 0pGgs8XUHrM-00096-00048681-00049253 and paramilitaries. The bullets that killed her had been purchased by the federal police. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00097-00049253-00049681 The minister of public security claimed that the bullets were stolen from a post office, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00098-00049681-00049781 but this 0pGgs8XUHrM-00099-00049781-00050324 lie was retracted when the post office publicly stated it was untrue. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00100-00050324-00050796 At the time of writing, four suspects have been arrested for the murder, all with ties 0pGgs8XUHrM-00101-00050796-00051068 to state security forces, and two of them 0pGgs8XUHrM-00102-00051068-00051688 with links to the family of right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro. Another suspect, a former 0pGgs8XUHrM-00103-00051688-00051788 police 0pGgs8XUHrM-00104-00051788-00052205 officer, was shot and killed by police in February 2020, as they were attempting to 0pGgs8XUHrM-00105-00052205-00052752 arrest him." 0pGgs8XUHrM-00106-00052752-00053091 So yeah, this takes place in Rio deJaneiro in Brazil. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00107-00053091-00053354 Pelle: (in Norwegian) Yes, in 2018, not so long ago. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00108-00053354-00053712 Daniel: That's right, yeah. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00109-00053750-00054732 Pelle: Is it exactly four years ago? Daniel: Exactlyfour years ago, yeah. Um... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00110-00054732-00055113 Pelle: On this day? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00111-00055113-00055654 Daniel: A really tragic story of somebody who I think wasvery well liked in, uh, the 0pGgs8XUHrM-00112-00055654-00055757 city by a lot of people, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00113-00055757-00056222 particularly in the area where she came from... these these shanty towns in and around the city. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00114-00056287-00057180 Um, so yeah. And then of course, being killed shortlyafter speaking out against, you know, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00115-00057180-00057301 the kinds 0pGgs8XUHrM-00116-00057301-00057821 of, like, crimes that are committed by... by uh... bythe state police, the federal 0pGgs8XUHrM-00117-00057821-00058000 police. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00118-00058261-00058963 We've also... we've talked about this one before because I remember we we talked a little 0pGgs8XUHrM-00119-00058963-00059151 bit about this... this aboutthe bullets. (Pelle: Yeah.) You remember that? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00120-00059151-00059900 Pelle: Yeah. (in Norwegian) That those that were used were shot by some people who aren't 0pGgs8XUHrM-00121-00059900-00060000 the police 0pGgs8XUHrM-00122-00060000-00060401 Pelle: (in Norwegian) But (Daniel: Or maybe. We don't know, right?) 0pGgs8XUHrM-00123-00060401-00061083 We don't know, but the ammo itself was from the police, who maybe they stole it from, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00124-00061083-00061668 we don't know, from the post office. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00125-00062222-00062771 Daniel: Okay, so, remember the thing that you once asked me about this one was... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00126-00062771-00063230 yousaid, "Well, of course the post office would say that they weren't stolen," and I 0pGgs8XUHrM-00127-00063230-00063684 thought like... Ithought it would be different to you because my first response was like... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00128-00063684-00063984 well, no, if they were stole-- if they were stolen, okay, that would be 0pGgs8XUHrM-00129-00063984-00064139 fine, but here the post office says no, this is alie. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00130-00064139-00064650 (Pelle: Yeah.) You kind of had this interesting point which is maybe not that relevant hereto 0pGgs8XUHrM-00131-00064650-00064857 the... to the, uh, entry. But... 0pGgs8XUHrM-00132-00064857-00065291 Pelle: They probably have... (in Norwegian) yes, they have to say that in a way. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00133-00065291-00065960 Daniel: Yeah. Why do you think they have to... Pelle: (in Norwegian) So they don't look bad. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00134-00065960-00066969 So people don't think they have poor security, that people can just take things, simply. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00135-00067000-00067301 Daniel: Yeah, I mean, I think here what's especially kind oftragic with this is, you 0pGgs8XUHrM-00136-00067301-00067460 know, like somebody who's 0pGgs8XUHrM-00137-00067460-00067970 clearly, like, very much kind of engaged in politics--local politics trying to make 0pGgs8XUHrM-00138-00067970-00068204 things better, right? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00139-00068204-00068648 And you know, basically that... You know, she's she's risking her life 0pGgs8XUHrM-00140-00068648-00069098 for doing it. And of course, she ends uplosing her life-- or being murdered, right? 0pGgs8XUHrM-00141-00069098-00069588 Because of taking a stand and becauseof trying to make things better. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00142-00069588-00069692 Yeah. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00143-00070347-00071045 Okay, well, that's-- Those are the two entriesfor today, right? March 14th. Um, I guess we'll, 0pGgs8XUHrM-00144-00071045-00071379 uh read-- go through March 15th tomorrow. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00145-00071417-00071727 Pelle: Yeah.There was some long ones today. 0pGgs8XUHrM-00146-00071727-00071911 Daniel: Yeah. They were. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00000-00000008-00000108 John: Good morning Hank, It's Tuesday. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00001-00000108-00000518 So on Friday, Rosianna and I left the magic and awesome of NerdCon: Stories to head up 0RXZO3gL-1g-00002-00000518-00000905 to Princeton, Minnesota, where I raced cars on a dirt track against best-selling author 0RXZO3gL-1g-00003-00000905-00001141 and all around awesome person Maggie Stiefvater. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00004-00001141-00001509 So Hank, an IndyCar driver I know once told me that in racing the only thing more dangerous 0RXZO3gL-1g-00005-00001509-00001819 than being too aggressive is being too cautious. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00006-00001819-00002199 Which is an observation that I think applies to more than just racing, and while I'm certainly 0RXZO3gL-1g-00007-00002199-00002651 an uncommonly anxious person, I don't think of myself as an overly cautious one. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00008-00002651-00002959 So I was feeling kinda excited as we arrived at the Princeton Speedway. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00009-00002959-00003272 I mean at no point did I actually think I could win the race but I did think I could, 0RXZO3gL-1g-00010-00003272-00003652 like, finish it without being pulled out of a burning vehicle which as it turned out was 0RXZO3gL-1g-00011-00003652-00003754 overly optimistic. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00012-00003754-00004143 Took my first ever ride in a four-wheeler to my race car which belonged to a 17-year-old, 0RXZO3gL-1g-00013-00004143-00004243 hence its number. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00014-00004243-00004441 My coach for the evening was his dad, Alan. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00015-00004441-00004798 And special shoutout to Alan's kids, my pit crew, ten year old Allison and eight year 0RXZO3gL-1g-00016-00004798-00004898 old Aaron. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00017-00004898-00005269 My first lesson was getting in and out of the car, which as you can see is ridiculously 0RXZO3gL-1g-00018-00005269-00005369 difficult. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00019-00005369-00005714 Hank, I need to linger on this shot for a moment because I want you to understand how 0RXZO3gL-1g-00020-00005714-00006132 hard it is to get out of these cars even when they are not on fire. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00021-00006132-00006588 Also, I want you to notice my excellent Eleanor and Park t-shirt, which I got at dftba.com. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00022-00006588-00006856 So Alan's an experienced race car driver and an excellent coach. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00023-00006856-00007013 Alan: You don't want to jump up on the throttle... 0RXZO3gL-1g-00024-00007013-00007388 John: He explained to me at least a dozen times that coming out of the corner, I would 0RXZO3gL-1g-00025-00007388-00007752 feel an urge to over-correct the steering and/or let off the throttle and that giving 0RXZO3gL-1g-00026-00007752-00008250 into that urge would be a significant mistake and I was able to remember that advice for, 0RXZO3gL-1g-00027-00008250-00008482 like, five-and-a-half laps of actual racing. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00028-00008482-00008842 Put on my smoking hot fire suit, my helmet, a pair of gloves, and then Maggie showed up 0RXZO3gL-1g-00029-00008842-00009050 with her awesome car with its awesome license plate. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00030-00009050-00009432 And then after an impossibly beautiful sunset came to Princeton, I belted myself in for 0RXZO3gL-1g-00031-00009432-00009649 our first of three scheduled races. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00032-00009649-00009984 Maggie jumped out to a lead, and she was faster than me and also a much better driver, but 0RXZO3gL-1g-00033-00009984-00010406 my car turned really well in the dirt and its power was exciting and intoxicating and 0RXZO3gL-1g-00034-00010406-00010671 I was just trying to keep up with her but then I thought, "You know, maybe I could drive 0RXZO3gL-1g-00035-00010671-00010950 alongside of her and really make a race out of this." 0RXZO3gL-1g-00036-00010950-00011271 And then on the fifth lap coming out of turn four, I felt an urge to correct the steering 0RXZO3gL-1g-00037-00011271-00011425 and yeah... 0RXZO3gL-1g-00038-00011425-00011853 The speedway staff got to me very quickly and although I could feel the heat of the 0RXZO3gL-1g-00039-00011853-00012492 fire in my back and legs, they kept me calm and pulled me out and I was fine, but I'm 0RXZO3gL-1g-00040-00012492-00012592 not going to lie, Hank, it was terrifying. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00041-00012592-00012984 But then they fixed the problem with the car and for some reason, I decided to get back 0RXZO3gL-1g-00042-00012984-00013084 in it. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00043-00013084-00013493 In fact, I won the second heat - more precisely, Maggie let me win - and I got a trophy and 0RXZO3gL-1g-00044-00013493-00013912 everything and then we raced for a third time and Maggie dominated me so thoroughly that 0RXZO3gL-1g-00045-00013912-00014494 the regular pro-drivers at the speedway asked to take her on and she beat them as well! 0RXZO3gL-1g-00046-00014494-00014838 So Maggie won the race, but I caught fire and didn't get hurt, which felt very much 0RXZO3gL-1g-00047-00014838-00014968 like, you know, some kind of winning. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00048-00014968-00015359 And late that night as I tried to sleep, I kept playing the race back in my mind: me 0RXZO3gL-1g-00049-00015359-00015790 doing precisely the thing I'd been told not to, the heat of the flames against my back, 0RXZO3gL-1g-00050-00015790-00016215 my panicked hands as I tried to unbuckle the belts, the smoky relief of being pulled from 0RXZO3gL-1g-00051-00016215-00016315 the car. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00052-00016315-00016448 There are of course smart risks. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00053-00016448-00016878 The proper line to run through life is somewhere between extreme caution and extreme aggression, 0RXZO3gL-1g-00054-00016878-00017040 but this wasn't one of them. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00055-00017040-00017439 That said, Hank, I have to confess that I am proud to have lost to Maggie, but not to 0RXZO3gL-1g-00056-00017439-00017539 myself. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00057-00017539-00017778 But in the end, Hank, I think I'm going to use this occasion to announce my retirement 0RXZO3gL-1g-00058-00017778-00017885 from race car driving. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00059-00017885-00018162 I'm headed back to the grandstands where I belong. 0RXZO3gL-1g-00060-00018162-00018295 Hank, I'll see you on Friday. 0TRBRlW8dyU-00000-00000390-00000764 And I'm going to show you how to clip a chickens wings 0TRBRlW8dyU-00001-00000764-00001100 We sell lots of chickens every day and can clip your chickens wings for you 0TRBRlW8dyU-00002-00001100-00001800 But if you ever need to clip their wings again, we've made this video to help 0TRBRlW8dyU-00003-00003631-00004089 You just clip the one wing so that it unbalances them, and means they can't fly 0TRBRlW8dyU-00004-00004089-00004586 As you can see in the photo, you want to cut the first 10 or Primary feather 0TRBRlW8dyU-00005-00004586-00004870 Along the line of feathers covering them 0TRBRlW8dyU-00006-00004870-00005570 up to the gap where the secondary feathers start 0TRBRlW8dyU-00007-00006191-00006891 You might want to ask someone to hold the wing out for you 0TRBRlW8dyU-00008-00006893-00007467 You then just cut the Primary feathers along the line of shorter feathers, up to where the secondary feathers start 0TRBRlW8dyU-00009-00007467-00007763 Once again just cutting the Primary Feathers along the line of shorter feathers 0TRBRlW8dyU-00010-00007763-00007995 Up to where the secondary feathers start 0YWFHurMtRE-00000-00000085-00000321 International short stories volume to 0YWFHurMtRE-00001-00000373-00001031 English stories, this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain 0YWFHurMtRE-00002-00001111-00001533 for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org 0YWFHurMtRE-00003-00001755-00001955 Recording by lynn thompson 0YWFHurMtRE-00004-00002074-00002444 international short stories volume 2 english stories 0YWFHurMtRE-00005-00002500-00002700 edited by William Paton 0YWFHurMtRE-00006-00002740-00002914 section 22 0YWFHurMtRE-00007-00002914-00003300 the lamas preaching by SR Crockett and 0YWFHurMtRE-00008-00003390-00003870 I further intimate said the minister that I will preach this evening at 0YWFHurMtRE-00009-00003910-00004589 cultures and my text will be from the ninth chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes and the tenth verse 0YWFHurMtRE-00010-00004698-00005060 Whatsoever thy hand find it to do do it with thy might? 0YWFHurMtRE-00011-00005143-00005720 Save us said Janet McTaggart.

I hope you are doing thankful 0YWFHurMtRE-00124-00065992-00066353 Dad I am that reply DB scratching his head vigorously 0YWFHurMtRE-00125-00066408-00066824 With his right hand and rubbing his leg with his left g'day 0YWFHurMtRE-00126-00066876-00067289 Nagini you that dunch you might a preaching Nana coach roses necks 0YWFHurMtRE-00127-00067336-00067748 They now cross the fairly level Cloverfield dark and laid with wet 0YWFHurMtRE-00128-00067800-00068294 The scent of the clover rose to their nostrils and almost overpowering force 0YWFHurMtRE-00129-00068367-00068909 There was not a breath of air the sky was blue and the sun shining 0YWFHurMtRE-00130-00068964-00069692 Only a sullen roar came over the hill sounding in the silence like the rush of a train over a faraway viaduct 0YWFHurMtRE-00131-00069772-00070422 what is that queried the minister stopping to listen Phoebe took a brisk side long look at him, I'm 0YWFHurMtRE-00132-00070545-00071003 Some dude 'some that'll be the sky boom coming down off a cans Muir 0YWFHurMtRE-00133-00071076-00071561 The minister tramped unconcernedly on EB kurgans stared at him 0YWFHurMtRE-00134-00071623-00071867 He kind of came what a sky boom warning is 0YWFHurMtRE-00135-00071907-00072377 He'll be thinking it some bit macaws burn and the lad said there were Leigh Mills in 0YWFHurMtRE-00136-00072429-00073010 But he'll turn writing up when he sees trouble roaring reading the plumbers flood. I'm thinking 0YWFHurMtRE-00137-00073068-00073472 They took their way over the shoulder of the hill in the beautiful evening 0YWFHurMtRE-00138-00073506-00074000 Leaning eagerly forward to get the first glimpse of the cause of that deep and resonant roar 0YWFHurMtRE-00139-00074064-00074696 In a moment they saw below them a narrow rock called Valley ten or fifteen yards across 0YWFHurMtRE-00140-00074739-00074954 Filled to the brim with rushing water 0YWFHurMtRE-00141-00075012-00075377 It was not black Pete water like the camel in Lake 0YWFHurMtRE-00142-00075414-00075504 But it ran 0YWFHurMtRE-00143-00075504-00076271 Red as keel flecks now and then with a revolving white blur as one of the cold shows sheep spun downward to the sea 0YWFHurMtRE-00144-00076329-00076706 With four black feet turned pitifully up to the blue sky 0YWFHurMtRE-00145-00076816-00077016 EB looked at the minister 0YWFHurMtRE-00146-00077035-00077216 He'll turn now if he's mortal 0YWFHurMtRE-00147-00077216-00077951 he said but the minister held on he looked at the water up and down the roaring stream on a hill above the 0YWFHurMtRE-00148-00077994-00078533 Farmer of cultures having driven all his remaining sheep together sat down to watch 0YWFHurMtRE-00149-00078627-00078977 Seeing the minister he stood up and excitedly waved him back 0YWFHurMtRE-00150-00079023-00079676 But Douglas McClellan from the mockers never gave him a look and his shouting was of less effect 0YWFHurMtRE-00151-00079695-00079976 Than if he had been crying to an untrained collie 0YWFHurMtRE-00152-00080218-00080989 The minister looked long up the stream and as a point where the rocks came very close together and many stunted Pines were growing 0YWFHurMtRE-00153-00081008-00081786 He saw one which having stood on the immediate brink had been so much undercut that it leaned over the gully like a fishing rod 0YWFHurMtRE-00154-00081836-00082509 With a keen glance along its length the minister jamming his dripping soft felt hat on the back of his head 0YWFHurMtRE-00155-00082550-00083338 Was setting foot on the perilous slope of the uneven red-brown trunk when eb kurgan caught him sharply by the arm 0YWFHurMtRE-00156-00083423-00084001 It's not for me to speak to a minister at all new times. He simmered gathering courage in his desperation 0YWFHurMtRE-00157-00084058-00084480 But oh man, it's fair murder to tried to gang all that water 0YWFHurMtRE-00158-00084563-00085158 the minister wrenched himself free and sprang along the trunk with wonderful agility i'm 0YWFHurMtRE-00159-00085316-00085543 Intimated to preach a cold show this night 0YWFHurMtRE-00160-00085543-00086239 And my text is whatsoever thy hand findeth to do do it with thy might he shouted 0YWFHurMtRE-00161-00086264-00086820 He made his way up and up the slope of the fir tree which having little grip of the rock 0YWFHurMtRE-00162-00086852-00087060 dipped and swayed under his tread 0YWFHurMtRE-00163-00087137-00087423 EB kurgan fell on his knees and prayed aloud 0YWFHurMtRE-00164-00087476-00088080 He had not prayed since his stepmother boxed his ears for getting into bed without saying his prayers twenty years ago 0YWFHurMtRE-00165-00088148-00088894 This had set him against it, but he prayed now and to infinitely more purpose than his minister had recently done 0YWFHurMtRE-00166-00089002-00089724 But when the climber had reached the branch atop and was striving to get a few feet father in order to clear the surging line' 0YWFHurMtRE-00167-00089750-00089948 Before he made his spring 0YWFHurMtRE-00168-00089948-00090343 EB rose to his feet leaving his prayer unfinished 0YWFHurMtRE-00169-00090398-00090678 He sent forth an almost animal shriek of Terror 0YWFHurMtRE-00170-00090761-00091219 the tree roots cracked like breaking cables and slowly gave way an 0YWFHurMtRE-00171-00091298-00092028 Avalanche of stones plumped into the world and the top of the FIR crashed downwards on the rocks of the opposite bank oh 0YWFHurMtRE-00172-00092132-00092772 Man call on the name of the Lord cried EB curtain the ragged preacher at the top of his voice 0YWFHurMtRE-00173-00092942-00093244 Then he saw something detach itself from the tree as it 0YWFHurMtRE-00174-00093277-00093750 Rebounded and for a moment rise and fall all black against the sunset 0YWFHurMtRE-00175-00093827-00094212 Then EB the outcasts fell on his face like a dead man 0YWFHurMtRE-00176-00094508-00094915 In the white coverlet his room of the farm town of cold shows a 0YWFHurMtRE-00177-00094928-00095466 white face lad laying with his eyes closed and a wet cloth on his brow a 0YWFHurMtRE-00178-00095531-00096169 Large boned red cheeked motherly woman's soul to and fro with a foot as light as a fairy 0YWFHurMtRE-00179-00096236-00096640 The sleeper stirred and tried to lift an unavailing hand to his head 0YWFHurMtRE-00180-00096740-00097197 The mistress of cold shows stalled to his bedside as he opened his eyes 0YWFHurMtRE-00181-00097271-00097609 She laid a restraining hand on him as he strove to rise 0YWFHurMtRE-00182-00097757-00098434 Let me up said the minister.

0ZDDHWma30I-00024-00007004-00007168 Kyle Southern: I'm Kyle Southern. 0ZDDHWma30I-00025-00007168-00007636 I'm a third-year doctoral student in the higher education program here at Michigan. 0ZDDHWma30I-00026-00007636-00007865 I'm originally from North Carolina. 0ZDDHWma30I-00027-00007865-00008565 In thinking about those first few days and weeks on campus, what strikes me is that I 0ZDDHWma30I-00028-00008565-00008919 had been working for several years after my master's program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00029-00008919-00009465 Coming here, having to adjust back into being a student, there was a bit of a transition 0ZDDHWma30I-00030-00009465-00009565 in that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00031-00009565-00010053 I was very used to going home at five or six or seven o'clock, and not having to worry 0ZDDHWma30I-00032-00010053-00010212 about work anymore. 0ZDDHWma30I-00033-00010212-00010859 Coming to graduate school, you're in class or doing meetings most of the day, and then 0ZDDHWma30I-00034-00010859-00011231 nighttime is really a good time to do reading and preparation for the next day. 0ZDDHWma30I-00035-00011231-00011355 Adjusting to that was definitely a transition. 0ZDDHWma30I-00036-00011355-00011996 I also was trying to take care of the practical side of life, so where was I going to get 0ZDDHWma30I-00037-00011996-00012564 my groceries, or go to the bank, where to get my hair cut, all those kinds of things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00038-00012564-00013172 It was good to speak with my colleagues, with other students who were a few years ahead 0ZDDHWma30I-00039-00013172-00013713 of me, with faculty and other folks who are close to me in the school of education, to 0ZDDHWma30I-00040-00013713-00014043 get ideas on where to take care of those things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00041-00014043-00014476 That was a process for me of navigating both the transition to academic life, but also 0ZDDHWma30I-00042-00014476-00014681 to life in Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00043-00014681-00015237 Chukwuka Mbagwu: My name is Chukwuka Mbagwu, and I usually go by Chuky. 0ZDDHWma30I-00044-00015237-00016037 I'm a rising third-year student in aerospace engineering, and I come from Riverside, California. 0ZDDHWma30I-00045-00016037-00016637 I think one of the things that really stuck in my memory the first weeks that I came to 0ZDDHWma30I-00046-00016637-00017014 Missions campus, was just the amount of people that were here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00047-00017014-00017481 It was such a lively environment when I stepped on the campus, because from my previous institution, 0ZDDHWma30I-00048-00017481-00017698 this school's actually four times bigger. 0ZDDHWma30I-00049-00017698-00018269 For a second seemed somewhat intimidating, but it was really great to see a lot of people 0ZDDHWma30I-00050-00018269-00018741 just out and about, see the great sports culture for the homecoming games and things like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00051-00018741-00019100 It was a really good experience, different experience for me, but something that expanded 0ZDDHWma30I-00052-00019100-00019280 my horizons a little bit. 0ZDDHWma30I-00053-00019280-00019387 Paula: Thanks, Chuky. 0ZDDHWma30I-00054-00019387-00019487 Miguel? 0ZDDHWma30I-00055-00019487-00019604 Miguel: My name is Miguel. 0ZDDHWma30I-00056-00019604-00019881 I am from Mexico. 0ZDDHWma30I-00057-00019881-00020555 I'm a second year Master in OEC at the Ford School of [inaudible 03:23] . When I arrived 0ZDDHWma30I-00058-00020555-00020953 to Ann Arbor, it was surprising for me to find a really warm weather. 0ZDDHWma30I-00059-00020953-00021740 I was expecting a dry place or, I don't know, I wasn't expecting doing the jungle... 0ZDDHWma30I-00060-00021740-00021840 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00061-00021840-00021958 Miguel: ...and that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00062-00021958-00022526 There is a lot of nature and so many places where -- incredible when I arrived in August 0ZDDHWma30I-00063-00022526-00022986 and I think the weather will be pretty similar this year. 0ZDDHWma30I-00064-00022986-00023776 Yeah, that was the great memory I have from Ann Arbor, finding something really un-expectable 0ZDDHWma30I-00065-00023776-00023876 for the first week. 0ZDDHWma30I-00066-00023876-00023976 Kristye Russell: Hi. 0ZDDHWma30I-00067-00023976-00024190 My name is Kristye Russell and I'm from Louisville, Kentucky. 0ZDDHWma30I-00068-00024190-00024828 I am a fourth year Doctorate of Pharmacy student. 0ZDDHWma30I-00069-00024828-00025585 What I remember most about the first few weeks being here at U of M was, one, it was busy. 0ZDDHWma30I-00070-00025585-00026160 Because I was trying to transition back into school and going to classes, taking quizzes, 0ZDDHWma30I-00071-00026160-00026650 because we had quizzes in the first week of my program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00072-00026650-00027088 But also, just all the events that were going on that allowed me to get to know people on 0ZDDHWma30I-00073-00027088-00027361 campus as well as the people in my program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00074-00027361-00028174 Just getting to know my classmates and building the relationships and friendships. 0ZDDHWma30I-00075-00028174-00028274 Katy Peplin: My name is Katy. 0ZDDHWma30I-00076-00028274-00028596 I am a rising fourth year in Experience Arts and Cultures PhD program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00077-00028596-00029049 What I remember most from my first couple of weeks here is I was actually a Michigan 0ZDDHWma30I-00078-00029049-00029586 undergrad, so I was expecting to come back to the campus and have full mastery. 0ZDDHWma30I-00079-00029586-00030193 I remember coming back and everything was different, there were new buildings, there 0ZDDHWma30I-00080-00030193-00030599 were new people, there were new offices to go to, and feeling really disoriented when 0ZDDHWma30I-00081-00030599-00030941 I was ready to feel very confident. 0ZDDHWma30I-00082-00030941-00031386 I wish that I would have taken time to figure out where my classes were before the first 0ZDDHWma30I-00083-00031386-00031769 day, because they were in a whole new building, and I had no idea where I was going. 0ZDDHWma30I-00084-00031769-00032225 Supraja Damotharan: Hi, everybody, I'm Supraja and I'm from India. 0ZDDHWma30I-00085-00032225-00032605 I am also a student in the Financial Engineering program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00086-00032605-00032958 The next semester is going to be final semester. 0ZDDHWma30I-00087-00032958-00033622 The first few weeks that I came to University of Michigan, the biggest feeling was I kind 0ZDDHWma30I-00088-00033622-00034181 of felt lost because I was here by the month of June, which is pretty early and there are 0ZDDHWma30I-00089-00034181-00034368 not many students around campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00090-00034368-00034897 It's a huge campus and you have to find your way. 0ZDDHWma30I-00091-00034897-00035166 Every turn I took, I forgot which route I took. 0ZDDHWma30I-00092-00035166-00035427 I would stop everybody on the way and ask them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00093-00035427-00035946 Nobody would know, but they would be kind enough to stop and use their smartphones and 0ZDDHWma30I-00094-00035946-00036486 Google Maps and guide me in the right...I did not have a smartphone. 0ZDDHWma30I-00095-00036486-00036586 That was very helpful. 0ZDDHWma30I-00096-00036586-00036712 That's the biggest thing I remember. 0ZDDHWma30I-00097-00036712-00037219 The first few weeks I did not have housing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00098-00037219-00037568 That was a big worry for me at that time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00099-00037568-00037800 But I did manage to find housing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00100-00037800-00038427 The thing is that I got to know a lot of people who still did not have housing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00101-00038427-00039031 If you don't have housing, you don't need to panic is what I realized at that point. 0ZDDHWma30I-00102-00039031-00039180 You have choices. 0ZDDHWma30I-00103-00039180-00039827 It's not like you are going to be stuck in a really bad place. 0ZDDHWma30I-00104-00039827-00039927 That was one thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00105-00039927-00040436 Then, since I am an international student I have never been away from home, stayed at 0ZDDHWma30I-00106-00040436-00040709 home all my life. 0ZDDHWma30I-00107-00040709-00041052 This was kind of like being alone for the first time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00108-00041052-00041521 It was nice, but I was homesick as well a bit. 0ZDDHWma30I-00109-00041521-00041621 [laughs] 0ZDDHWma30I-00110-00041621-00042124 Then meeting so many people from so many different countries, it felt like, "Oh, my God. 0ZDDHWma30I-00111-00042124-00042487 This is why I came to University of Michigan, to experience the diversity." 0ZDDHWma30I-00112-00042487-00042699 It's here in Michigan. 0ZDDHWma30I-00113-00042699-00043390 Paula: We've heard some of the things about making that transition logistically that first 0ZDDHWma30I-00114-00043390-00043490 week. 0ZDDHWma30I-00115-00043490-00044238 What sort of advice would any of you offer about that arrival on campus? 0ZDDHWma30I-00116-00044238-00044811 Chukwuka: I definitely have a couple of things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00117-00044811-00044925 Housing was also mentioned earlier. 0ZDDHWma30I-00118-00044925-00045449 I think that for all students it's really important to get that done early. 0ZDDHWma30I-00119-00045449-00045969 Depending on your department's admissions process and cycle, you can gain your admission 0ZDDHWma30I-00120-00045969-00046658 and ultimately make your decision anywhere from April or later. 0ZDDHWma30I-00121-00046658-00047043 Sometimes that can create some anxiety in terms of whether or not you'll be able to 0ZDDHWma30I-00122-00047043-00047143 find housing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00123-00047143-00047615 But the university provides a lot of resources in terms of matching you with roommates and 0ZDDHWma30I-00124-00047615-00047780 housing and find things like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00125-00047780-00048190 I think just getting started on that process really early is important. 0ZDDHWma30I-00126-00048190-00048945 If you are able to visit the campus before you come here in the fall, I think that's 0ZDDHWma30I-00127-00048945-00049412 really helpful in terms of seeing the place that you are going to be living in or just 0ZDDHWma30I-00128-00049412-00049767 familiarizing yourself with your classrooms, your department, and all of those things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00129-00049767-00050236 Just being able to figure out housing or getting an early start, you really don't want to push 0ZDDHWma30I-00130-00050236-00050336 that too late. 0ZDDHWma30I-00131-00050336-00050594 But even so, there's a lot of resources for you to get that done. 0ZDDHWma30I-00132-00050594-00050806 Kyle: I agree with that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00133-00050806-00050983 I also thought it was valuable. 0ZDDHWma30I-00134-00050983-00051365 I got here just a little bit before classes started. 0ZDDHWma30I-00135-00051365-00051666 I had a few days with not too much on my schedule. 0ZDDHWma30I-00136-00051666-00052192 It was helpful to just kind of walk around downtown, just kind of see where things were, 0ZDDHWma30I-00137-00052192-00052730 learn kind of the grid, where are the major streets, just kind of get landmarks not only 0ZDDHWma30I-00138-00052730-00053294 on practical things, but also restaurants or interesting things that looked like I'd 0ZDDHWma30I-00139-00053294-00053424 want to check them out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00140-00053424-00053758 Supraja: I would like to just add onto this. 0ZDDHWma30I-00141-00053758-00054280 Before you arrive at University of Michigan, it would be nice to get in touch with your 0ZDDHWma30I-00142-00054280-00054789 fellow students, because you will learn a lot of unexpected small things that you'd 0ZDDHWma30I-00143-00054789-00055235 arrive and then you would found out and it would be a surprise. 0ZDDHWma30I-00144-00055235-00055732 But if you get in touch with your fellow students, they will mention small things like housing, 0ZDDHWma30I-00145-00055732-00056016 "These apartments are not good. 0ZDDHWma30I-00146-00056016-00056186 Maybe you can choose another one." 0ZDDHWma30I-00147-00056186-00056516 Small stuff that you would not realize but it would help you out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00148-00056516-00056719 That would be one thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00149-00056719-00057007 Paula: What are some other resources? 0ZDDHWma30I-00150-00057007-00057248 Getting in touch with your fellow students. 0ZDDHWma30I-00151-00057248-00057520 You were sort of hinting toward some helpful resources. 0ZDDHWma30I-00152-00057520-00057848 What sort of things do you think would be good to check out ahead of time? 0ZDDHWma30I-00153-00057848-00058341 Kyle: Definitely in terms of housing, there is Northwood Housing, a website that helps 0ZDDHWma30I-00154-00058341-00058616 put you in contact with other Northwood students. 0ZDDHWma30I-00155-00058616-00059154 There is also The University of Michigan off-campus housing website, which I found particularly 0ZDDHWma30I-00156-00059154-00059254 useful. 0ZDDHWma30I-00157-00059254-00059785 I discovered it late, so I think this is great that you guys would hopefully get a kind of 0ZDDHWma30I-00158-00059785-00060066 advanced notice of this resource, because it's really good. 0ZDDHWma30I-00159-00060066-00060583 It allows you to kind of identify and select your particular price range, neighborhood 0ZDDHWma30I-00160-00060583-00061036 that you want to live in, roommates, whether it's up to two, three, or four roommates, 0ZDDHWma30I-00161-00061036-00061216 things like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00162-00061216-00061491 That's really helpful in terms of housing on site. 0ZDDHWma30I-00163-00061491-00061992 Katy: I would say that in terms of off-campus housing, a lot of Ann Arbor leases are for 0ZDDHWma30I-00164-00061992-00062094 a year. 0ZDDHWma30I-00165-00062094-00062480 But a lot of times undergraduate students or either graduate students are away on fellowship 0ZDDHWma30I-00166-00062480-00062595 or they are studying abroad. 0ZDDHWma30I-00167-00062595-00063084 There are often short term sublets that you can get for a month or two that would give 0ZDDHWma30I-00168-00063084-00063460 you the chance to sort of move in, at least partially, and then find out what neighborhood 0ZDDHWma30I-00169-00063460-00063560 you want. 0ZDDHWma30I-00170-00063560-00063961 I know a lot of people who have successfully taken a short term sublet and then moved into 0ZDDHWma30I-00171-00063961-00064442 a forever home a little bit later if they didn't know the city as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00172-00064442-00064976 A lot of times those are posted on the off-campus housing website, so they are university students 0ZDDHWma30I-00173-00064976-00065205 that could give you further advice. 0ZDDHWma30I-00174-00065205-00065610 Kyle: I'm sure we could provide, after the broadcast, links on a website for you guys 0ZDDHWma30I-00175-00065610-00065801 to go check it out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00176-00065801-00066420 Paula: Do you guy want to give any thoughts on the different parts of campus, sort of 0ZDDHWma30I-00177-00066420-00066779 how the campus is broken up? 0ZDDHWma30I-00178-00066779-00067166 Miguel: Like [inaudible 11:11] , there are three campuses-one in the north, another in 0ZDDHWma30I-00179-00067166-00067514 the center of Ann Arbor, and another in the south. 0ZDDHWma30I-00180-00067514-00068085 In my case, most of my classes are in the central campus, but I live in the north campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00181-00068085-00068338 I have to take one of the busses from the university. 0ZDDHWma30I-00182-00068338-00068602 There are two major bus systems in Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00183-00068602-00068977 One is provided by the university, and the other is provided by the city. 0ZDDHWma30I-00184-00068977-00069163 Both of them are free. 0ZDDHWma30I-00185-00069163-00069514 But in the university busses you don't have to identify yourself. 0ZDDHWma30I-00186-00069514-00069987 Anyone can take the bus without paying a lot for it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00187-00069987-00070092 I have to take a bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00188-00070092-00070673 It's only like 15 or 20 minutes from the place that I take classes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00189-00070673-00070927 Many people will say, "Oh, that's a really big distance. 0ZDDHWma30I-00190-00070927-00071399 You are living in another campus, and you are taking multiple classes in central campus." 0ZDDHWma30I-00191-00071399-00071972 But yeah, it's a greater distance, but in most of the big cities in the US that would 0ZDDHWma30I-00192-00071972-00072581 be an incredible deal, only one bus and 20-minute ride. 0ZDDHWma30I-00193-00072581-00072829 Those are the main divisions. 0ZDDHWma30I-00194-00072829-00073381 I would suggest in case you are going to take most of your classes in one of the campuses 0ZDDHWma30I-00195-00073381-00074001 that you look for housing around those places, just to make it easier. 0ZDDHWma30I-00196-00074001-00074206 But actually, it's not a big deal. 0ZDDHWma30I-00197-00074206-00074638 Katy: We talked a lot about housing, but we didn't talk a lot about getting to where we 0ZDDHWma30I-00198-00074638-00074738 need to be. 0ZDDHWma30I-00199-00074738-00075281 Getting home and getting to our classes or getting to the library. 0ZDDHWma30I-00200-00075281-00075830 I think it's always a good deal to look at the bus route, figure out how you are going 0ZDDHWma30I-00201-00075830-00076111 to get from your house to class ahead of time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00202-00076111-00076727 Also, if you want to drive, looking up how to get a parking pass ahead of time, because 0ZDDHWma30I-00203-00076727-00076995 parking can be a challenge on campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00204-00076995-00077460 If you don't want to be late to classes, then it's good to know where you can park ahead 0ZDDHWma30I-00205-00077460-00077560 of time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00206-00077560-00077924 Supraja: I'd just like to add on to her statement. 0ZDDHWma30I-00207-00077924-00078599 Residence parking, sometimes some of my classmates, they park a mile away and walk, which does 0ZDDHWma30I-00208-00078599-00078727 not make sense. 0ZDDHWma30I-00209-00078727-00079523 It's better to take the public transport, the U Mich busses, especially during winters. 0ZDDHWma30I-00210-00079523-00080268 It would be better to just take busses rather than having to skip or something like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00211-00080268-00080430 They are very frequent. 0ZDDHWma30I-00212-00080430-00081098 Even the city busses, during the week those are pretty frequent. 0ZDDHWma30I-00213-00081098-00081522 As Miguel said, both busses are free. 0ZDDHWma30I-00214-00081522-00082011 But for the city bus, if you have an M Card you just need to swipe and it's free. 0ZDDHWma30I-00215-00082011-00082336 For the university busses you don't need M cards. 0ZDDHWma30I-00216-00082336-00082557 Anyone is allowed on the bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00217-00082557-00082854 Paula: Your M Card is your ID card. 0ZDDHWma30I-00218-00082854-00083001 Supraja: Yeah, ID card. 0ZDDHWma30I-00219-00083001-00084036 Kyle: To give you some advice, when you arrive to Ann Arbor, go to get your M Card. 0ZDDHWma30I-00220-00084036-00084136 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00221-00084136-00084236 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00222-00084236-00084431 Paula: Does anyone have a card? 0ZDDHWma30I-00223-00084431-00084563 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00224-00084563-00085033 Paula: That's the M Card. 0ZDDHWma30I-00225-00085033-00085207 It will get you into performances or... 0ZDDHWma30I-00226-00085207-00085307 Supraja: Yeah. 0ZDDHWma30I-00227-00085307-00085447 You get discounts with this card. 0ZDDHWma30I-00228-00085447-00085731 Katy: It's a library card... 0ZDDHWma30I-00229-00085731-00085918 Kyle: Everything. 0ZDDHWma30I-00230-00085918-00086825 Supraja: I know this is right in between, but there is this free bus service to try 0ZDDHWma30I-00231-00086825-00086941 it out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00232-00086941-00087177 Even that you can access using the M Card. 0ZDDHWma30I-00233-00087177-00087441 You just need to swipe and the ride is free. 0ZDDHWma30I-00234-00087441-00087814 You can go into downtown Detroit, look around, and then come back by the same bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00235-00087814-00087997 You use the M Card, and it's free. 0ZDDHWma30I-00236-00087997-00088702 Natalie: I did get a question coming in about, "What is the best way to get to and from the 0ZDDHWma30I-00237-00088702-00088870 airport?" 0ZDDHWma30I-00238-00088870-00089039 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00239-00089039-00090012 Kyle: The best service I have found is the Michigan Flier bus, which runs from downtown 0ZDDHWma30I-00240-00090012-00090418 and also from the Southside of town by the interstate. 0ZDDHWma30I-00241-00090418-00090918 There is a hotel where it picks up called Kensington Court. 0ZDDHWma30I-00242-00090918-00091131 It leaves maybe about every hour. 0ZDDHWma30I-00243-00091131-00091889 It's only $12 each way, in contrast to a cab would probably run you $50-$60 to get from 0ZDDHWma30I-00244-00091889-00092050 the airport to here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00245-00092050-00092588 I would really recommend the Michigan Flier as a good and reliable service. 0ZDDHWma30I-00246-00092588-00092727 Paula: It's a bus, right? 0ZDDHWma30I-00247-00092727-00092862 Kyle: It's a nice coach bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00248-00092862-00092962 There's WiFi. 0ZDDHWma30I-00249-00092962-00093062 You just kind of hang out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00250-00093062-00093174 They give you water. 0ZDDHWma30I-00251-00093174-00093531 It's a nice ride. 0ZDDHWma30I-00252-00093531-00093992 Katy: Just to second the Michigan Flier. 0ZDDHWma30I-00253-00093992-00094151 It's incredibly convenient. 0ZDDHWma30I-00254-00094151-00094626 Supraja: They are on time most of the time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00255-00094626-00095152 If you have too many bags or baggage which you don't think you can handle on a bus, you 0ZDDHWma30I-00256-00095152-00095273 can take a cab. 0ZDDHWma30I-00257-00095273-00095852 But you can try to find somebody who is taking the ride to Ann Arbor at the same time as 0ZDDHWma30I-00258-00095852-00096223 you so that you can share the cab ride so it's not that expensive. 0ZDDHWma30I-00259-00096223-00096525 You don't need to take the cab for yourself. 0ZDDHWma30I-00260-00096525-00096947 Katy: I've also seen people save money by taking the Michigan Flier and then just a 0ZDDHWma30I-00261-00096947-00097243 cab from wherever the bus stop is to their location. 0ZDDHWma30I-00262-00097243-00097711 It's more like a $10 cab ride instead of a $60 cab ride. 0ZDDHWma30I-00263-00097711-00097945 Miguel: I arrived here with my family. 0ZDDHWma30I-00264-00097945-00098518 When we arrived we decided to rent a car and it was a good deal. 0ZDDHWma30I-00265-00098518-00099104 We rented a car in the Detroit airport, so we just drove like 30 minutes and we left 0ZDDHWma30I-00266-00099104-00099204 the car in Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00267-00099204-00099619 For [inaudible 16:34] many times, this is an option because you bring a lot of luggage 0ZDDHWma30I-00268-00099619-00099948 and you prefer not to take a bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00269-00099948-00100249 It's really easy. 0ZDDHWma30I-00270-00100249-00100836 It's also useful for the first two or three days to have the car in order to buy things, 0ZDDHWma30I-00271-00100836-00101143 in order to go to the store. 0ZDDHWma30I-00272-00101143-00101361 Chukwuka: I would also like to put out that the Michigan Flier runs from 8AM to 8PM. 0ZDDHWma30I-00273-00101361-00101494 There is limited hours. 0ZDDHWma30I-00274-00101494-00102520 If you have a midnight flight our off-peak hours, then you can use another service. 0ZDDHWma30I-00275-00102520-00102734 Paula: Good suggestion. 0ZDDHWma30I-00276-00102734-00102834 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00277-00102834-00102944 Paula: You have a car? 0ZDDHWma30I-00278-00102944-00103126 Katy: I do have a car. 0ZDDHWma30I-00279-00103126-00103774 I have a car, but I very rarely take it to campus proper because I can very rarely park 0ZDDHWma30I-00280-00103774-00104222 close for anything less than six or seven dollars, which if you are coming from New 0ZDDHWma30I-00281-00104222-00104349 York City, it's like, "Wow! 0ZDDHWma30I-00282-00104349-00104449 What a deal!" 0ZDDHWma30I-00283-00104449-00104765 But if you do it three or four days a week, it really adds up. 0ZDDHWma30I-00284-00104765-00105167 I do use the car for things like going to the grocery story store. 0ZDDHWma30I-00285-00105167-00105749 But I've also never lived in a place where I couldn't also take the bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00286-00105749-00106314 I have a lot of friends that don't have cars, but I find that since cars are a luxury, the 0ZDDHWma30I-00287-00106314-00106650 people who have cars are pretty generous with them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00288-00106650-00107096 There are people that either don't have a car in your department that will split a Zip 0ZDDHWma30I-00289-00107096-00107563 Car with you to go to the grocery store with you, or people that will say...I often say 0ZDDHWma30I-00290-00107563-00107889 to people in my department that don't have a car, "I'm going to the grocery store. 0ZDDHWma30I-00291-00107889-00108133 Do you want me to pick up anything or do you want to come with me?" 0ZDDHWma30I-00292-00108133-00108502 Because it's often just an extra two or three minutes and then they don't have to take all 0ZDDHWma30I-00293-00108502-00108663 of their stuff on the bus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00294-00108663-00108794 Kyle: What is Zip Car? 0ZDDHWma30I-00295-00108794-00109208 Katy: Zip Car is an online private car sharing service. 0ZDDHWma30I-00296-00109208-00109511 I think almost all of the Michigan lots have Zip Cars. 0ZDDHWma30I-00297-00109511-00110077 But you sign up online and you basically reserve a car and you pay by the hour. 0ZDDHWma30I-00298-00110077-00110753 If you have just a short term one-off expense or you really need to get to Birmingham for 0ZDDHWma30I-00299-00110753-00111150 an interview and you don't want to pay for a car the whole time, it's fully insured. 0ZDDHWma30I-00300-00111150-00111464 It's not the cheapest thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00301-00111464-00111884 But if you split it with people for a one-time thing, it's more affordable than renting a 0ZDDHWma30I-00302-00111884-00111984 car. 0ZDDHWma30I-00303-00111984-00112297 It's often more convenient. 0ZDDHWma30I-00304-00112297-00112544 Paula: Birmingham, Michigan... 0ZDDHWma30I-00305-00112544-00112644 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00306-00112644-00113388 Paula: Because Ann Arbor is in the state of Michigan, beyond Michigan, beyond Ann Arbor, 0ZDDHWma30I-00307-00113388-00113836 what sort of things do you recommend people check out when they get here when they have 0ZDDHWma30I-00308-00113836-00113957 a little time to check it out? 0ZDDHWma30I-00309-00113957-00114401 Kristye: One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is to go to Detroit. 0ZDDHWma30I-00310-00114401-00114527 I love going to Detroit. 0ZDDHWma30I-00311-00114527-00115020 They have the eastern market, which is the outdoor farmer's market on Saturday mornings. 0ZDDHWma30I-00312-00115020-00115120 It's beautiful. 0ZDDHWma30I-00313-00115120-00115566 There's all kinds of fruit and vegetables, crafts. 0ZDDHWma30I-00314-00115566-00115666 People are performing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00315-00115666-00116071 There are some great restaurants right around there as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00316-00116071-00116516 I also recommend that if you are able to, go to one of Michigan's beaches. 0ZDDHWma30I-00317-00116516-00116810 I just left [inaudible 19:31] City Beach. 0ZDDHWma30I-00318-00116810-00116910 Beautiful. 0ZDDHWma30I-00319-00116910-00117063 It was a gorgeous place. 0ZDDHWma30I-00320-00117063-00117622 If you can make it up there and get to see Lake Picaroon? 0ZDDHWma30I-00321-00117622-00118122 Kyle: Detroit also has pro football, pro baseball, pro hockey. 0ZDDHWma30I-00322-00118122-00118735 The Detroit Institute of Art has a great art collection. 0ZDDHWma30I-00323-00118735-00119236 Lot of great things to do there, movie series, concerts. 0ZDDHWma30I-00324-00119236-00119354 I agree. 0ZDDHWma30I-00325-00119354-00119911 Then also towns like Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids are not too far away. 0ZDDHWma30I-00326-00119911-00120145 Those are a great day trip as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00327-00120145-00120826 Supraja: I'd like to add onto that Battle Creek is the [inaudible 20:08] city. 0ZDDHWma30I-00328-00120826-00120991 Maybe you can check it out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00329-00120991-00121651 I've never done the tourist thing at Battle Creek, but I think it's a place to recommend. 0ZDDHWma30I-00330-00121651-00122316 Katy: I go to a lot of state parks actually, because in Michigan if you pay for a Michigan 0ZDDHWma30I-00331-00122316-00122769 license plate, it often gives you free admission to many state parks. 0ZDDHWma30I-00332-00122769-00123236 It's like a 15 or 20 minute drive to really good hikes that sometimes it feels good to 0ZDDHWma30I-00333-00123236-00123764 get out of the city [laughs] of Ann Arbor and see some trees. 0ZDDHWma30I-00334-00123764-00124159 But there's also good parks around Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00335-00124159-00124532 The Arb is sort of an open air botanical garden. 0ZDDHWma30I-00336-00124532-00124933 It's big enough that you can sort to feel like you got away. 0ZDDHWma30I-00337-00124933-00125359 I like that quite a bit. 0ZDDHWma30I-00338-00125359-00126217 Supraja: If you want to get out of the city, just go to the North campus of The University 0ZDDHWma30I-00339-00126217-00126326 of Michigan... 0ZDDHWma30I-00340-00126326-00126426 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00341-00126426-00126526 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00342-00126526-00126808 Paula: You mentioned something about the parks. 0ZDDHWma30I-00343-00126808-00126973 Miguel: Yeah. 0ZDDHWma30I-00344-00126973-00127433 I have two children, so I spend a lot of time in parks playing with them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00345-00127433-00127849 It's just been amazing because in the beginning of the summer we decided to visit all the 0ZDDHWma30I-00346-00127849-00128149 city parks that are in Ann Arbor, not outside. 0ZDDHWma30I-00347-00128149-00128466 We haven't done that yet because there are a lot of places where we can go with the kids 0ZDDHWma30I-00348-00128466-00128618 and to the playground. 0ZDDHWma30I-00349-00128618-00128935 There are many activities to do if you have children. 0ZDDHWma30I-00350-00128935-00129508 Even if you don't have them, many of those parks have incredible [inaudible 21:37] . You 0ZDDHWma30I-00351-00129508-00130314 can row them in the river or you can also do a lot of nature stuff and sports. 0ZDDHWma30I-00352-00130314-00130872 If you want to go farther, you can go to Chicago and it's only three or four hours away. 0ZDDHWma30I-00353-00130872-00131658 If you find a deal, you can go [inaudible 21:53] . It's a really good place to go and 0ZDDHWma30I-00354-00131658-00131824 visit if you really want to go... 0ZDDHWma30I-00355-00131824-00132288 Kyle: In Chicago the train is good and usually not too expensive. 0ZDDHWma30I-00356-00132288-00132523 You can also take Mega Bus... 0ZDDHWma30I-00357-00132523-00132623 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00358-00132623-00132828 Supraja: There are bus services too. 0ZDDHWma30I-00359-00132828-00133335 Katy: Those will go to most of the major cities in Michigan, too. 0ZDDHWma30I-00360-00133335-00133826 You can take a Greyhound or a Mega Bus to Kalamazoo. 0ZDDHWma30I-00361-00133826-00134374 Supraja: Sometimes busses are recommended over trains because sometimes trains are slow. 0ZDDHWma30I-00362-00134374-00134541 Busses are very fast. 0ZDDHWma30I-00363-00134541-00135054 Paula: We've been talking about a lot of fun stuff, and we'll get back to that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00364-00135054-00135279 But we also know that students are coming here for academic reasons, too. 0ZDDHWma30I-00365-00135279-00135447 What kind of advice would you share with them? 0ZDDHWma30I-00366-00135447-00136108 Maybe think of it from the point of view as when you came to graduate school, what was 0ZDDHWma30I-00367-00136108-00136208 surprising to you academically? 0ZDDHWma30I-00368-00136208-00136665 What sort of things did you discover that you think will be helpful to share with students 0ZDDHWma30I-00369-00136665-00137022 who are just entering? 0ZDDHWma30I-00370-00137022-00137965 Supraja: I'd just like to point out that academics is quite rigorous. 0ZDDHWma30I-00371-00137965-00138396 You should be prepared to give it your best. 0ZDDHWma30I-00372-00138396-00138676 That was my thought when I started school here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00373-00138676-00138958 It's not like you can have fun and get good grades. 0ZDDHWma30I-00374-00138958-00139291 You have to work really hard. 0ZDDHWma30I-00375-00139291-00139463 You have to be prepared. 0ZDDHWma30I-00376-00139463-00139577 That's it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00377-00139577-00139751 It's not scary. 0ZDDHWma30I-00378-00139751-00139971 It's the reality of grad school. 0ZDDHWma30I-00379-00139971-00140096 But it is tough. 0ZDDHWma30I-00380-00140096-00141045 Kristye: I might have a different experience because I am in a health professional program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00381-00141045-00141519 But when I came here, I had sat a year out from school. 0ZDDHWma30I-00382-00141519-00141872 I graduated from graduate school and then I taught school for a year and then I came 0ZDDHWma30I-00383-00141872-00142094 to pharmacy school. 0ZDDHWma30I-00384-00142094-00142979 The sheer volume of work is I guess what I remember the most, because right now I'm not 0ZDDHWma30I-00385-00142979-00143544 in classes, but it was just the volume of working, becoming acclimated to having my 0ZDDHWma30I-00386-00143544-00144035 quizzes and exams weekly and every other day. 0ZDDHWma30I-00387-00144035-00144617 If you can eliminate any type of worry. 0ZDDHWma30I-00388-00144617-00144844 That for me was getting my lunch ready at night. 0ZDDHWma30I-00389-00144844-00145354 These are the little things that can cause you to be stressed out when you have to be 0ZDDHWma30I-00390-00145354-00145659 some place or in your class on time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00391-00145659-00146313 Getting my lunch ready at night, getting dressed, picking out my clothes, knowing where my car 0ZDDHWma30I-00392-00146313-00146767 keys were, knowing where my bus pass was, those type of things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00393-00146767-00147216 Just getting a routine and getting that established... 0ZDDHWma30I-00394-00147216-00147316 Kyle: That's so important. 0ZDDHWma30I-00395-00147316-00148000 I would just add that you can be working on things all the time, so it's important to 0ZDDHWma30I-00396-00148000-00148367 establish parameters for yourself and to be mindful, as you alluded to, of self-care. 0ZDDHWma30I-00397-00148367-00149213 Not to think, "Oh, I'll go exercise if I have time later this week," because you can always 0ZDDHWma30I-00398-00149213-00149563 talk yourself out of that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00399-00149563-00150000 If your face life is important, you need to carve out time for that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00400-00150000-00150283 It's just important to keep a realistic perspective. 0ZDDHWma30I-00401-00150283-00150820 It's easy to lose track of, I think, when you are coming in and getting involved with 0ZDDHWma30I-00402-00150820-00150920 the work. 0ZDDHWma30I-00403-00150920-00151240 But you're going to be better at the work if you are also taking care of yourself. 0ZDDHWma30I-00404-00151240-00151630 Make sure you are carving out that time, whatever is most valuable for you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00405-00151630-00152222 Katy: The best advice I got was to treat my graduate program like a job, because a lot 0ZDDHWma30I-00406-00152222-00152848 of us are either coming from job experience or we really need to make that transition. 0ZDDHWma30I-00407-00152848-00153338 Feeling like I had working hours and then non-working hours was really helpful for me, 0ZDDHWma30I-00408-00153338-00153670 not just to make sure that I had self-care, but to make sure that I was using those hours 0ZDDHWma30I-00409-00153670-00153847 as well as I could. 0ZDDHWma30I-00410-00153847-00154304 Because there is sort of an expectation and so many different people will tell you that 0ZDDHWma30I-00411-00154304-00154705 they are reading all of the time or that they're working all of the time that it becomes really 0ZDDHWma30I-00412-00154705-00155187 easy to imagine that everyone is working always. 0ZDDHWma30I-00413-00155187-00155637 In some cases that's true, but they might not be as efficient as they could be. 0ZDDHWma30I-00414-00155637-00156210 When I would say, "You have two hours to get this amount of reading done," it let me know 0ZDDHWma30I-00415-00156210-00156539 that I could stop at a certain point, but it also made me more productive in those two 0ZDDHWma30I-00416-00156539-00157065 hours, in the same way that my friends that had jobs knew that they only had a certain 0ZDDHWma30I-00417-00157065-00157653 amount of time to get that task done, and so they couldn't be taking every meeting. 0ZDDHWma30I-00418-00157653-00157841 They couldn't be having every lunch. 0ZDDHWma30I-00419-00157841-00158313 They had to be strategic about knowing their own limits. 0ZDDHWma30I-00420-00158313-00158855 Paula: What kind of suggestions do you have like that in terms of creating academic habits, 0ZDDHWma30I-00421-00158855-00159255 whether it be yourself or how you reach out to other people? 0ZDDHWma30I-00422-00159255-00159355 Are there suggestions you have? 0ZDDHWma30I-00423-00159355-00159700 Kristye: I like to make a task list. 0ZDDHWma30I-00424-00159700-00160424 I found that that helps me to keep track of everything that is due or even just the things 0ZDDHWma30I-00425-00160424-00160958 that need to be done in that day so it doesn't spill over to the next day, and I'm running 0ZDDHWma30I-00426-00160958-00161058 behind on things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00427-00161058-00161514 I always make a task list of all the things that have to be done or even just fill out 0ZDDHWma30I-00428-00161514-00161922 a calendar of assignments that are due or exams that are coming up. 0ZDDHWma30I-00429-00161922-00162530 Supraja: I think, like she said, you have to prioritize a lot, because during the academic 0ZDDHWma30I-00430-00162530-00163063 year, you have to concentrate on your academics, as well as if you are recruiting, you have 0ZDDHWma30I-00431-00163063-00163763 to be sure you are at the company events you'd like to work for. 0ZDDHWma30I-00432-00163763-00164383 If you are doing research, you have to prioritize that as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00433-00164383-00165151 I know a few people who just go to all these networking events and not concentrate on their 0ZDDHWma30I-00434-00165151-00165251 classes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00435-00165251-00165351 You shouldn't do that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00436-00165351-00165898 You should strike this balance where you pick the companies which you really, really want 0ZDDHWma30I-00437-00165898-00166210 to work for. 0ZDDHWma30I-00438-00166210-00166761 The classes, which are very important, the assignments which need to be submitted, you 0ZDDHWma30I-00439-00166761-00167024 have to juggle it all. 0ZDDHWma30I-00440-00167024-00167496 Paula: In terms of reaching out to academic support instructors in your department, some 0ZDDHWma30I-00441-00167496-00167596 I know are department specific. 0ZDDHWma30I-00442-00167596-00167696 Some are shared. 0ZDDHWma30I-00443-00167696-00168245 But do you have things that you've found really helpful, things you'd recommend? 0ZDDHWma30I-00444-00168245-00168388 Chukwuka: Definitely. 0ZDDHWma30I-00445-00168388-00168699 I think one of the first things when you are out on campus that you should do is you should 0ZDDHWma30I-00446-00168699-00169047 really get to know your department coordinators and administrators. 0ZDDHWma30I-00447-00169047-00169637 They are absolutely the number one resource you can for your department or program specific 0ZDDHWma30I-00448-00169637-00169740 needs. 0ZDDHWma30I-00449-00169740-00169932 They know all the forms you need to fill out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00450-00169932-00170627 They know all the how to really interact with the professors and your instructors and even 0ZDDHWma30I-00451-00170627-00171063 connect you with other students if you need to work with a study group or things like 0ZDDHWma30I-00452-00171063-00171163 that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00453-00171163-00171412 They are a really good resource. 0ZDDHWma30I-00454-00171412-00171635 Very good for funding, definitely for doctoral students. 0ZDDHWma30I-00455-00171635-00172289 You can either come up with a package or you can have some type of teaching fellowship 0ZDDHWma30I-00456-00172289-00172466 or other things like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00457-00172466-00172864 They can help you work all those details out, whereas you can sometimes feel overwhelmed. 0ZDDHWma30I-00458-00172864-00173324 I think getting to know your administrators, they are only there to help and they've been 0ZDDHWma30I-00459-00173324-00173616 there for a while and they know everything in and out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00460-00173616-00173961 Getting to know them on a personal level is really important. 0ZDDHWma30I-00461-00173961-00174265 They definitely go out of their way to help you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00462-00174265-00175051 Kyle: Even outside of programs, many people will come in and have a statistics sequence 0ZDDHWma30I-00463-00175051-00175163 or stats requirement. 0ZDDHWma30I-00464-00175163-00175515 That can be a source of some stress for students. 0ZDDHWma30I-00465-00175515-00175674 I know it was for me when I came in. 0ZDDHWma30I-00466-00175674-00176224 But there are regular workshops on campus to help students through those issues. 0ZDDHWma30I-00467-00176224-00176784 These are people who are [inaudible 29:29] with packages and things and help you work 0ZDDHWma30I-00468-00176784-00176997 through those and help you get it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00469-00176997-00177512 Even if you miss a little something in class, they can help explain it to you in a clearer 0ZDDHWma30I-00470-00177512-00177659 way. 0ZDDHWma30I-00471-00177659-00178325 Also, many students come in with some concerns about writing and the Sweetland Writing Center 0ZDDHWma30I-00472-00178325-00178769 on campus is a really good resource for a lot of students to help them think for how 0ZDDHWma30I-00473-00178769-00179165 to structure their arguments and be clear in their language. 0ZDDHWma30I-00474-00179165-00179561 That's been a real great resource for a lot of people as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00475-00179561-00180189 Katy: I know that I am very fixated on the email that Rack 'Em puts out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00476-00180189-00180345 It was every Friday during the school year. 0ZDDHWma30I-00477-00180345-00180784 I think it's every month during the summer. 0ZDDHWma30I-00478-00180784-00180937 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00479-00180937-00181849 Katy: I found it really overwhelming when I first got here how many resources were offered 0ZDDHWma30I-00480-00181849-00181949 to me. 0ZDDHWma30I-00481-00181949-00182398 I could have made a fulltime job out of just accessing the resources. 0ZDDHWma30I-00482-00182398-00182896 That digest on Friday was really helpful for me to see and decide... 0ZDDHWma30I-00483-00182896-00183477 I went to workshops on how to read more quickly, how to fill out my FAFSA. 0ZDDHWma30I-00484-00183477-00183809 They have really practical things as well as academic stuff. 0ZDDHWma30I-00485-00183809-00184323 Knowing that there was that one email that would have most of the important life skills 0ZDDHWma30I-00486-00184323-00185089 or academic core skills was really helpful to me to feel like I wasn't as prodigious 0ZDDHWma30I-00487-00185089-00185342 and overwhelming. 0ZDDHWma30I-00488-00185342-00185858 If you can find ways to be systematic about looking for those things, it really helps 0ZDDHWma30I-00489-00185858-00186319 cut down on the anxiety of, am I missing this, or is this big important thing happening and 0ZDDHWma30I-00490-00186319-00186419 I don't know about it? 0ZDDHWma30I-00491-00186419-00186649 Paula: Just before you jump in real quick. 0ZDDHWma30I-00492-00186649-00186942 Could you talk a little bit about what Rackham is? 0ZDDHWma30I-00493-00186942-00187110 I'll put you on the spot. 0ZDDHWma30I-00494-00187110-00187373 You gave a good definition of it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00495-00187373-00187987 Katy: The way I think about it is that Rackham is the bigger college office. 0ZDDHWma30I-00496-00187987-00188495 When I was an undergrad here there was Undergraduate Office of Admissions, there was the Undergraduate 0ZDDHWma30I-00497-00188495-00188595 Career Center. 0ZDDHWma30I-00498-00188595-00189058 Now that I'm a graduate student, Rackham is the umbrella organization that covers many 0ZDDHWma30I-00499-00189058-00189602 of those really important academic skills that aren't necessarily departmental specific. 0ZDDHWma30I-00500-00189602-00190101 My departmental administrator is really great for things like what format should my prospectus 0ZDDHWma30I-00501-00190101-00190253 be, or when do I file. 0ZDDHWma30I-00502-00190253-00191050 But Rackham has really important information about funding deadlines, and taxes and writing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00503-00191050-00191501 They're also a great hub, that even if they don't...I find that the various offices are 0ZDDHWma30I-00504-00191501-00191908 all really friendly, so even if they don't know the answer, they know where to point 0ZDDHWma30I-00505-00191908-00192123 you next. 0ZDDHWma30I-00506-00192123-00192609 In a system that's as large and complicated as Michigan is administratively...Like every 0ZDDHWma30I-00507-00192609-00193118 department has its own administrator, every school has its own organizational system. 0ZDDHWma30I-00508-00193118-00193702 Rackham is a way to have one place that you start and then branch out. 0ZDDHWma30I-00509-00193702-00194405 Paula: People view Rackham in any other way that they could... 0ZDDHWma30I-00510-00194405-00194746 Supraja: She mentioned the Rackham emails. 0ZDDHWma30I-00511-00194746-00195315 Rackham organizes a lot of social events for the graduate students as well, like for them 0ZDDHWma30I-00512-00195315-00195850 to get together and find new people to become friends with. 0ZDDHWma30I-00513-00195850-00196963 That email contains not only grant deadlines and professional workshops and such, but also 0ZDDHWma30I-00514-00196963-00197636 social events like a movie screening or an ice cream social or something like that, which 0ZDDHWma30I-00515-00197636-00198261 I think you should always make a point of going to at least one because you meet so 0ZDDHWma30I-00516-00198261-00198453 many different people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00517-00198453-00198755 It's always fun, in my experience. 0ZDDHWma30I-00518-00198755-00199391 Never unsubscribe from Rackham emails. 0ZDDHWma30I-00519-00199391-00199720 You get a lot of emails from your different schools as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00520-00199720-00200689 I'm from the College of Engineering, and they send me emails about career fairs and some 0ZDDHWma30I-00521-00200689-00201005 company events. 0ZDDHWma30I-00522-00201005-00201325 If you unsubscribe, you're going to miss out on a lot of stuff. 0ZDDHWma30I-00523-00201325-00201559 Never unsubscribe is my... 0ZDDHWma30I-00524-00201559-00201991 Kyle: Rackham is also blessed with really generous endowment. 0ZDDHWma30I-00525-00201991-00202704 I would really encourage students who are coming in to visit the Rackham fellowships 0ZDDHWma30I-00526-00202704-00203273 web page and see the number of different opportunities there are for funding from this school. 0ZDDHWma30I-00527-00203273-00203923 I had a travel grant to go to a conference in my field this fall that comes from Rackham. 0ZDDHWma30I-00528-00203923-00204084 I've accepted to do a presentation. 0ZDDHWma30I-00529-00204084-00204675 This summer, I had a spring-summer research grant that's funding me for these four months, 0ZDDHWma30I-00530-00204675-00204798 which is great to have. 0ZDDHWma30I-00531-00204798-00205010 I can work on my independent research. 0ZDDHWma30I-00532-00205010-00205509 There are pre-doctoral dissertation fellowships. 0ZDDHWma30I-00533-00205509-00205976 There's a lot of resources that you can get money to help pay off student loan interest. 0ZDDHWma30I-00534-00205976-00206233 There's all kinds of little pots of money sitting around Rackham. 0ZDDHWma30I-00535-00206233-00206657 If you're intentional about looking up what those are, and just a little bit of legwork 0ZDDHWma30I-00536-00206657-00207071 to fill out the applications, chances are you're going to be able to benefit from one 0ZDDHWma30I-00537-00207071-00207298 of those pools of resources. 0ZDDHWma30I-00538-00207298-00207510 Paula: We also are building. 0ZDDHWma30I-00539-00207510-00207792 I'm just going to mention that because we're sitting in the Rackham building right now. 0ZDDHWma30I-00540-00207792-00208004 It's a beautiful, beautiful building. 0ZDDHWma30I-00541-00208004-00208160 You can study in it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00542-00208160-00208512 We hold workshops, professional development workshops as well as social workshops. 0ZDDHWma30I-00543-00208512-00208641 Kyle: Major speaking events. 0ZDDHWma30I-00544-00208641-00208801 Paula: Major speaking events, yes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00545-00208801-00209436 Katy: I know that for me it was a big concern about so many of the spaces on campus are 0ZDDHWma30I-00546-00209436-00209821 filled with undergraduate students, which is great, because a lot of them are very bound 0ZDDHWma30I-00547-00209821-00210028 to the campus and you can see them everywhere. 0ZDDHWma30I-00548-00210028-00210198 But sometimes it's a little bit... 0ZDDHWma30I-00549-00210198-00210367 Kyle: You were one not so long ago. 0ZDDHWma30I-00550-00210367-00211048 Katy: I was, and I still very often am mistaken for one, but I found it really helpful to 0ZDDHWma30I-00551-00211048-00211481 come to Rackham to study because there's something freeing about knowing that undergrads won't 0ZDDHWma30I-00552-00211481-00212077 come into this building really, and knowing that if I'm really frustrated with something 0ZDDHWma30I-00553-00212077-00212471 or grading, it was a little bit of privacy that I didn't get in my department, which 0ZDDHWma30I-00554-00212471-00212688 also has an undergraduate program. 0ZDDHWma30I-00555-00212688-00213198 If you're feeling claustrophobic in your department, which sometimes can happen, especially my 0ZDDHWma30I-00556-00213198-00213635 department's very small, so I find Rackham to be a welcome oasis. 0ZDDHWma30I-00557-00213635-00213796 The reading rooms are beautiful. 0ZDDHWma30I-00558-00213796-00214057 They're very quiet. 0ZDDHWma30I-00559-00214057-00214569 Miguel: I will say that one really important thing in the University of Michigan is to 0ZDDHWma30I-00560-00214569-00215103 know really different people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00561-00215103-00215619 Most of us come from other schools together, to get specific skills and to learn the specific 0ZDDHWma30I-00562-00215619-00215719 things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00563-00215719-00216096 Rackham is a thing where you can forget about it and you can just remember that there are 0ZDDHWma30I-00564-00216096-00216196 some people... 0ZDDHWma30I-00565-00216196-00216388 In my case, I study public policy. 0ZDDHWma30I-00566-00216388-00216780 It's nice to remember that there are people studying biology or other kinds of fields 0ZDDHWma30I-00567-00216780-00217160 that maybe you are not necessarily concerned about it, but it's always refreshing to listen 0ZDDHWma30I-00568-00217160-00217635 to them, and seeing that there are many other things outside of you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00569-00217635-00218273 Kristye: I definitely used Rackham to meet other people because my program isn't under 0ZDDHWma30I-00570-00218273-00218677 Rackham, but Rackham still can serve me. 0ZDDHWma30I-00571-00218677-00219196 One of the way that it has is that it has allowed me to meet different people and people 0ZDDHWma30I-00572-00219196-00219396 from different disciplines and different departments. 0ZDDHWma30I-00573-00219396-00219871 Natalie: Would you mind mentioning your involvement with an organization? 0ZDDHWma30I-00574-00219871-00219980 Kristye: Sure. 0ZDDHWma30I-00575-00219980-00220576 I'm the Vice President of Students of Color Rackham, which is a graduate student organization, 0ZDDHWma30I-00576-00220576-00220676 of course. 0ZDDHWma30I-00577-00220676-00221408 It's meant to bring students from all disciplines together for social and professional academic 0ZDDHWma30I-00578-00221408-00222194 wellbeing, and to provide a site space where we can all come together, meet, and get whatever 0ZDDHWma30I-00579-00222194-00222498 things that we need from each other. 0ZDDHWma30I-00580-00222498-00222598 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00581-00222598-00223430 Chukwuka: I'm the Vice President of Rackham Student Government, which is the student faction 0ZDDHWma30I-00582-00223430-00224062 representing all the schools in Rackham from the four different divisions -- humanities, 0ZDDHWma30I-00583-00224062-00224346 engineering, social sciences, and... 0ZDDHWma30I-00584-00224346-00224467 Kyle: The other one. 0ZDDHWma30I-00585-00224467-00224571 Chukwuka: The other one. 0ZDDHWma30I-00586-00224571-00224773 [laughs] I didn't say that, though. 0ZDDHWma30I-00587-00224773-00225592 We really liaise a lot with the Rackham administrators here to provide social events for the students, 0ZDDHWma30I-00588-00225592-00226283 collaborate financially also, putting together the professional activities and things like 0ZDDHWma30I-00589-00226283-00226383 that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00590-00226383-00226648 We really just try to work hand-in-hand to represent graduate students' voices and bring 0ZDDHWma30I-00591-00226648-00227186 to them events that could be helpful and beneficial to them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00592-00227186-00227446 Natalie: This is great timing, actually. 0ZDDHWma30I-00593-00227446-00227546 We did receive a question. 0ZDDHWma30I-00594-00227546-00227706 Does Rackham host social events? 0ZDDHWma30I-00595-00227706-00228042 Since some of you were mentioning that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00596-00228042-00228466 Go to football games together, et cetera, was the question. 0ZDDHWma30I-00597-00228466-00228671 Yes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00598-00228671-00229076 Your particular organizations that you mentioned. 0ZDDHWma30I-00599-00229076-00229535 Can some of you talk about social outlets that you've plugged into maybe your school 0ZDDHWma30I-00600-00229535-00230076 or college or your department program, if your department or program has a student organization 0ZDDHWma30I-00601-00230076-00230446 within that that is active and getting students together. 0ZDDHWma30I-00602-00230446-00230663 Supraja: I'm part of GradSWE. 0ZDDHWma30I-00603-00230663-00230909 That's the Graduate Society of Women Engineers. 0ZDDHWma30I-00604-00230909-00231516 It's pretty popular on north campus because that's where the College of Engineering is 0ZDDHWma30I-00605-00231516-00231616 placed. 0ZDDHWma30I-00606-00231616-00232121 You can be a part of GradSWE on a country level but you need to pay for membership. 0ZDDHWma30I-00607-00232121-00232519 If you want to be a part of University of Michigan's chapter you don't need to pay anything. 0ZDDHWma30I-00608-00232519-00233363 The good part is that...I call myself a fake engineer because I'm actually doing financial 0ZDDHWma30I-00609-00233363-00233627 mathematics, it's just called financial engineering. 0ZDDHWma30I-00610-00233627-00234280 I get to meet all these women and men -- there are men in GradSWE as well -- and they are 0ZDDHWma30I-00611-00234280-00234633 from nuclear engineering and biomedical engineering. 0ZDDHWma30I-00612-00234633-00235011 When they talk about different things, it's so interesting. 0ZDDHWma30I-00613-00235011-00235708 One girl, she was talking about nuclear reactors and how Michigan has one of the biggest...I 0ZDDHWma30I-00614-00235708-00236019 don't remember the name. 0ZDDHWma30I-00615-00236019-00236567 It's supposed to be one of the best reactors of something. 0ZDDHWma30I-00616-00236567-00237108 It's very interesting to know that Michigan has all this... 0ZDDHWma30I-00617-00237108-00237285 [audio break] 0ZDDHWma30I-00618-00237285-00237865 Supraja: ...one space where it's all about your cause. 0ZDDHWma30I-00619-00237865-00238662 They also host fun stuff like pumpkin carving and apple picking, movie screening, and bar 0ZDDHWma30I-00620-00238662-00238764 hopping. 0ZDDHWma30I-00621-00238764-00239184 I don't know what you call that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00622-00239184-00239284 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00623-00239284-00239464 Katy: Bar crawl. 0ZDDHWma30I-00624-00239464-00239564 Supraja: It's fun. 0ZDDHWma30I-00625-00239564-00239905 It's not specific to engineers. 0ZDDHWma30I-00626-00239905-00240523 Since it's called Women's Society of Engineers, I know men who are part of the society as 0ZDDHWma30I-00627-00240523-00240623 well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00628-00240623-00240723 It's a very interesting thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00629-00240723-00241454 Paula: We sponsor things with SWE too, so Rackham does do a lot of co-sponsorship with 0ZDDHWma30I-00630-00241454-00241554 groups like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00631-00241554-00241998 Kyle: Both my program in higher education and the School of Education have social groups 0ZDDHWma30I-00632-00241998-00242730 that will organize very similar events or football game tailgates in the fall, but also 0ZDDHWma30I-00633-00242730-00243046 professional development opportunities. 0ZDDHWma30I-00634-00243046-00243392 Speakers will come in that they'll host. 0ZDDHWma30I-00635-00243392-00243654 We can also have a chili cook-off. 0ZDDHWma30I-00636-00243654-00244175 It's a variety of programming that those two organizations will put together. 0ZDDHWma30I-00637-00244175-00244405 Miguel: It's the same in public policy. 0ZDDHWma30I-00638-00244405-00245090 I could not name how many organizations are there organizing things, because you can find 0ZDDHWma30I-00639-00245090-00245869 an event, even twice per week, or something like that, when you can do...As you said, 0ZDDHWma30I-00640-00245869-00246496 there are tailgates or a conference or a lunch with a speaker, or an afternoon meeting with 0ZDDHWma30I-00641-00246496-00246927 a professor of faculty. 0ZDDHWma30I-00642-00246927-00247057 It's amazing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00643-00247057-00247309 You can really find a lot of things to do. 0ZDDHWma30I-00644-00247309-00247489 Supraja: You have cultural nights as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00645-00247489-00248114 If you want to experience different cultures, like you have the Malaysian night, and then 0ZDDHWma30I-00646-00248114-00248602 you have Indian festivals that are being organized. 0ZDDHWma30I-00647-00248602-00249265 Like I said, those emails mention them in their weekly updates. 0ZDDHWma30I-00648-00249265-00249705 I learned a lot of stuff going to these cultural nights. 0ZDDHWma30I-00649-00249705-00250467 You have these assumptions about certain people, and it really does break...These events help 0ZDDHWma30I-00650-00250467-00250850 you forget about those clichés. 0ZDDHWma30I-00651-00250850-00251348 Katy: I just want to plug the University Musical Society. 0ZDDHWma30I-00652-00251348-00251660 UMS is a huge organization on campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00653-00251660-00252288 They bring in truly an astounding caliber of musicians. 0ZDDHWma30I-00654-00252288-00252673 Students have access twice a year -- once in September and once in December -- to the 0ZDDHWma30I-00655-00252673-00252816 half-price ticket sales. 0ZDDHWma30I-00656-00252816-00253223 You can get tickets to literally anything they put on for half price. 0ZDDHWma30I-00657-00253223-00253582 That could be balcony seats where you can pay...I have seen world class musicians. 0ZDDHWma30I-00658-00253582-00254479 The prices are cheap enough that you can say, "Sure, I will go see an ancient Chinese violin 0ZDDHWma30I-00659-00254479-00254579 symphony." 0ZDDHWma30I-00660-00254579-00254760 Kyle: Or the San Francisco orchestra. 0ZDDHWma30I-00661-00254760-00255442 Katy: Philip Glass premiered the working rehearsal of "Einstein on the Beach." 0ZDDHWma30I-00662-00255442-00255581 I've seen Yo-Yo Ma. 0ZDDHWma30I-00663-00255581-00255702 I've seen bluegrass. 0ZDDHWma30I-00664-00255702-00255890 I've seen amazing things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00665-00255890-00256338 It's so accessible, and they're always walkable to campus, which is really nice. 0ZDDHWma30I-00666-00256338-00256667 You don't have to go into a city to see them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00667-00256667-00257059 Paula: Kyle, you did a riff on what Ann Arbor's like. 0ZDDHWma30I-00668-00257059-00257384 Do you care to do that again? 0ZDDHWma30I-00669-00257384-00257769 Kyle: I just said that for the size Ann Arbor tends to punch above its weight. 0ZDDHWma30I-00670-00257769-00258568 We have those great cultural aspects here that are a great benefit of being a part of 0ZDDHWma30I-00671-00258568-00259126 the place like the University of Michigan, which attracts that kind of talent on a regular 0ZDDHWma30I-00672-00259126-00259226 basis. 0ZDDHWma30I-00673-00259226-00259630 We also have the longest running independent film series in the United States. 0ZDDHWma30I-00674-00259630-00259787 That happens in March. 0ZDDHWma30I-00675-00259787-00260190 Just next week Ann Arbor Art Fair will bring something like half a million of people through 0ZDDHWma30I-00676-00260190-00260600 town over the course of a four or five day period. 0ZDDHWma30I-00677-00260600-00261217 That brings artists from across the country and around the world to send on our streets. 0ZDDHWma30I-00678-00261217-00261903 You can walk around and see that and appreciate those kind of expressions. 0ZDDHWma30I-00679-00261903-00262625 In a few weeks I'll be at the Michigan Stadium for the Real Madrid/Manchester United soccer 0ZDDHWma30I-00680-00262625-00262824 game. 0ZDDHWma30I-00681-00262824-00263399 They're playing games in places like New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00682-00263399-00263836 It's like, which one of these is not like the others? 0ZDDHWma30I-00683-00263836-00264418 It's a really interesting part about being here in that you have access to these world-class 0ZDDHWma30I-00684-00264418-00264917 events in what is a relatively small but really vibrant college community. 0ZDDHWma30I-00685-00264917-00265330 Paula: You guys actually had a couple of things that I want to talk about a little more, or 0ZDDHWma30I-00686-00265330-00265480 have you talk about. 0ZDDHWma30I-00687-00265480-00265810 UMS Art Fair, those are unique Ann Arbor things. 0ZDDHWma30I-00688-00265810-00266308 Let's think about it, some of the things that we think about as common language here but 0ZDDHWma30I-00689-00266308-00266759 people may need to know ahead of time, or even come in habits. 0ZDDHWma30I-00690-00266759-00267032 One is 10 after the hour. 0ZDDHWma30I-00691-00267032-00267522 Classes always start at 10 after the hour. 0ZDDHWma30I-00692-00267522-00267818 If it's 2:00, it starts at 2:10. 0ZDDHWma30I-00693-00267818-00267918 Katy: That is called... 0ZDDHWma30I-00694-00267918-00268018 Group: Michigan Time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00695-00268018-00268118 Paula: But don't be late for a faculty meeting. 0ZDDHWma30I-00696-00268118-00268305 If they say 2:00, then it's 2:00. 0ZDDHWma30I-00697-00268305-00268749 Supraja: Only classes start at Michigan time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00698-00268749-00268928 The rest are one time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00699-00268928-00269595 Paula: What other things, if you can think about, were surprising to you or new? 0ZDDHWma30I-00700-00269595-00270228 Katy: As not a football or sports person, I'm always amazed at the degree to which the 0ZDDHWma30I-00701-00270228-00270528 city shuts down on Saturdays during the fall. 0ZDDHWma30I-00702-00270528-00271071 It's almost impossible to drive anywhere near that area, which is a problem because there's 0ZDDHWma30I-00703-00271071-00271457 a really good Meijer, which is a cheaper grocery store. 0ZDDHWma30I-00704-00271457-00271672 There's major highway access that way. 0ZDDHWma30I-00705-00271672-00271772 It's almost un-walkable. 0ZDDHWma30I-00706-00271772-00271951 Paula: Yeah, they literally shut down. 0ZDDHWma30I-00707-00271951-00272247 Katy: They literally will shut down streets. 0ZDDHWma30I-00708-00272247-00272715 It's something to be aware of, especially if you live near the stadium, that Saturdays 0ZDDHWma30I-00709-00272715-00272968 there will be people all over your lawn. 0ZDDHWma30I-00710-00272968-00273457 They will be... 0ZDDHWma30I-00711-00273457-00274064 The population of the city doubles on football Saturdays, and it's concentrated in a very 0ZDDHWma30I-00712-00274064-00274164 small part of campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00713-00274164-00274818 Kyle: You can also see businesses around town, their operating hours will say, "Except Saturday 0ZDDHWma30I-00714-00274818-00274958 December 6th." 0ZDDHWma30I-00715-00274958-00275419 It goes through the home game schedule. 0ZDDHWma30I-00716-00275419-00275589 It really does overwhelm the place. 0ZDDHWma30I-00717-00275589-00275752 Natalie: I'm sorry to interrupt you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00718-00275752-00276101 Have you any of you seen a Michigan football game? 0ZDDHWma30I-00719-00276101-00276379 Kyle: Yeah, I've been to all of them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00720-00276379-00276854 Natalie: Anything you'd like to say to students who haven't experienced that? 0ZDDHWma30I-00721-00276854-00277364 Miguel: In my experience, I was amazed by the size of the stadium. 0ZDDHWma30I-00722-00277364-00277701 In Mexico there's a stadium where it's very famous all over the world because it's very 0ZDDHWma30I-00723-00277701-00277801 big. 0ZDDHWma30I-00724-00277801-00278019 When I arrived someone said, "Oh, yeah, the stadium is very big." 0ZDDHWma30I-00725-00278019-00278202 I said, "Oh, yeah, of course." 0ZDDHWma30I-00726-00278202-00278469 Then I search on Wikipedia, and it's bigger. 0ZDDHWma30I-00727-00278469-00279234 It was awesome, and it was most incredible to see how the town changes in one day. 0ZDDHWma30I-00728-00279234-00279596 There are many people in the streets, and it's not only drunk guys. 0ZDDHWma30I-00729-00279596-00279942 There are many kinds of people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00730-00279942-00280278 They are all enjoying the game. 0ZDDHWma30I-00731-00280278-00280717 Even many people in the stadium seem that they not are understanding very well, but 0ZDDHWma30I-00732-00280717-00281387 they are having fun, and they are having a great time just sharing the time with the 0ZDDHWma30I-00733-00281387-00281487 community. 0ZDDHWma30I-00734-00281487-00281587 It's an amazing experience. 0ZDDHWma30I-00735-00281587-00282097 Kyle: Yeah, I would say even if you don't have any interest in football, just as a sociological 0ZDDHWma30I-00736-00282097-00282258 experience. 0ZDDHWma30I-00737-00282258-00283105 Going to a cultural athletic event with 112,000 other people, and knowing that you are part 0ZDDHWma30I-00738-00283105-00283604 of the largest group of people doing that one particular thing on a given day in the 0ZDDHWma30I-00739-00283604-00283936 world, it's a special thing here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00740-00283936-00284337 I would say to give it a try at least, one time, at least for nothing else just for the 0ZDDHWma30I-00741-00284337-00284491 spectacle of all of it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00742-00284491-00284844 Supraja: You see a lot of interesting things happening on football nights. 0ZDDHWma30I-00743-00284844-00284980 I once saw this... 0ZDDHWma30I-00744-00284980-00285080 Kyle: Careful. 0ZDDHWma30I-00745-00285080-00285180 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00746-00285180-00285710 Supraja: Undergrad kids wearing just shorts, late, fall, super cold night, running around 0ZDDHWma30I-00747-00285710-00285892 shouting slogans like...It's fun. 0ZDDHWma30I-00748-00285892-00286029 It's very interesting. 0ZDDHWma30I-00749-00286029-00286704 Chukwuka: I would absolutely piggyback off that and just say if you are remotely interested 0ZDDHWma30I-00750-00286704-00286853 in football, definitely get season tickets. 0ZDDHWma30I-00751-00286853-00287025 You've gotten the email by now I'm sure. 0ZDDHWma30I-00752-00287025-00287221 Make sure you get that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00753-00287221-00287470 It will save you money in the end. 0ZDDHWma30I-00754-00287470-00288024 Even if not, not a huge football fan just like Kyle said, make sure you got to at least 0ZDDHWma30I-00755-00288024-00288124 one. 0ZDDHWma30I-00756-00288124-00288243 People will let you know what are the biggest games of the season. 0ZDDHWma30I-00757-00288243-00288407 Try and get tickets to those. 0ZDDHWma30I-00758-00288407-00288958 To piggyback off of what you said as well, it's the largest stadium in all of the US 0ZDDHWma30I-00759-00288958-00289073 for football. 0ZDDHWma30I-00760-00289073-00289807 I would say for the homecoming game that was my biggest experience when I came to Ann Arbor, 0ZDDHWma30I-00761-00289807-00290286 coming from a school that didn't have as large of a sports culture. 0ZDDHWma30I-00762-00290286-00290725 It's definitely something to check out, if once. 0ZDDHWma30I-00763-00290725-00291282 Miguel: When I finish the game, people told me in 20 years you won't remember a single 0ZDDHWma30I-00764-00291282-00291621 lecture of all the program, but you will remember this game. 0ZDDHWma30I-00765-00291621-00291817 I think he was right. 0ZDDHWma30I-00766-00291817-00291917 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00767-00291917-00292163 Miguel: It's an amazing experience. 0ZDDHWma30I-00768-00292163-00292336 Paula: That's interesting. 0ZDDHWma30I-00769-00292336-00292436 Things are defining. 0ZDDHWma30I-00770-00292436-00292729 It sounds like Musical Society is certainly defining, the sports program, the football 0ZDDHWma30I-00771-00292729-00292885 program, it sounds like. 0ZDDHWma30I-00772-00292885-00293682 What other things do you think of as defining when you think about Ann Arbor or the University 0ZDDHWma30I-00773-00293682-00293782 of Michigan? 0ZDDHWma30I-00774-00293782-00294189 Things that you think, well this makes us a really cool place. 0ZDDHWma30I-00775-00294189-00294464 Supraja: The restaurants out here are so diverse. 0ZDDHWma30I-00776-00294464-00294778 A lot of choices. 0ZDDHWma30I-00777-00294778-00295192 I think that would be a big part of Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00778-00295192-00296125 Kyle: In case folks who are coming here have not heard, winter here can be a bit challenging. 0ZDDHWma30I-00779-00296125-00296360 Literally defining elements. 0ZDDHWma30I-00780-00296360-00297118 But for the struggles of winter, through a good deal of snow and a good deal of cold 0ZDDHWma30I-00781-00297118-00298187 wind that you need to buy a big jacket for, this time of year, in the fall, really define 0ZDDHWma30I-00782-00298187-00298896 Ann Arbor for me because it is an impossibly beautiful place to spend these months. 0ZDDHWma30I-00783-00298896-00299697 To run around time or to go to the arboretum or to just be on the center of campus, which 0ZDDHWma30I-00784-00299697-00300374 you should know is called the Diag, and see the changing colors of fall. 0ZDDHWma30I-00785-00300374-00300545 That's a really special time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00786-00300545-00301174 That also adds to, I think, the culture around football, is that it happens at this time 0ZDDHWma30I-00787-00301174-00301613 of the year where you just feel a special energy about the place, where people have 0ZDDHWma30I-00788-00301613-00301894 come back from the summer and everyone's excited to be here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00789-00301894-00302401 In the wintertime we hibernate a little bit, but once the spring starts and through the 0ZDDHWma30I-00790-00302401-00302618 fall, it's really a great place to be. 0ZDDHWma30I-00791-00302618-00303123 Kristye: I want to say that winter gets a bad rep, and I'm from the South, so I don't 0ZDDHWma30I-00792-00303123-00303273 like the cold. 0ZDDHWma30I-00793-00303273-00303952 But I can appreciate the winter here because just as much as the spring and summer is beautiful, 0ZDDHWma30I-00794-00303952-00304483 the winter, although at the end you might not feel this way, is beautiful as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00795-00304483-00304850 There's still a lot of things going on at that time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00796-00304850-00305263 People like to ski. 0ZDDHWma30I-00797-00305263-00305831 I've been to outdoor festivals, like in Frankenmuth, where they have this ice thing going on. 0ZDDHWma30I-00798-00305831-00306098 There are things that are still going on. 0ZDDHWma30I-00799-00306098-00306198 It doesn't just stop. 0ZDDHWma30I-00800-00306198-00306600 There's still lots of things, and you can appreciate the beauty of the wintertime as 0ZDDHWma30I-00801-00306600-00306700 well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00802-00306700-00307243 Kyle: It's also important to note that I, also as a Southerner, if we get two inches 0ZDDHWma30I-00803-00307243-00307473 of snow, everything is closed. 0ZDDHWma30I-00804-00307473-00307677 But everything goes on here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00805-00307677-00308091 I promise you the bus will be on time and school will be open and life goes on. 0ZDDHWma30I-00806-00308091-00308257 Katy: People just dress for it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00807-00308257-00308669 Kyle: Get some big boots, get a good jacket, get a scarf, get a hat, you'll be fine. 0ZDDHWma30I-00808-00308669-00309181 Kristye: We had a snow day this year, but it wasn't a snow day. 0ZDDHWma30I-00809-00309181-00309840 It was a cold day, because it was severely cold, too cold to have students on campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00810-00309840-00309969 I think that was the first... 0ZDDHWma30I-00811-00309969-00310177 Katy: In like 50 years or something. 0ZDDHWma30I-00812-00310177-00310277 Kristye: Yeah. 0ZDDHWma30I-00813-00310277-00310513 Kyle: 1978 was the last time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00814-00310513-00310638 Supraja: It was really cold. 0ZDDHWma30I-00815-00310638-00310738 Kyle: It was. 0ZDDHWma30I-00816-00310738-00311153 Katy: I will say that one of the things that always surprised me after I had been to other 0ZDDHWma30I-00817-00311153-00311572 universities is how short the break is between fall and winter semesters. 0ZDDHWma30I-00818-00311572-00312245 The fall semester will run until...sometimes I've had exams on like December 23rd. 0ZDDHWma30I-00819-00312245-00312617 Often times, there's work over the break, and it starts right back up again on January 0ZDDHWma30I-00820-00312617-00312768 3rd sometimes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00821-00312768-00313132 But there's four months of summer. 0ZDDHWma30I-00822-00313132-00313492 There's a full four months, which is different, if you're used to the quarter system or even 0ZDDHWma30I-00823-00313492-00313715 a sort of delayed semester. 0ZDDHWma30I-00824-00313715-00314305 I find that the beginning of the winter term, it's cold, it's dark, you haven't had much 0ZDDHWma30I-00825-00314305-00314683 of a rest, so it's more important than it could be at other places where you might get 0ZDDHWma30I-00826-00314683-00314801 the chance to go home. 0ZDDHWma30I-00827-00314801-00315201 I know a lot of, I have friends that are international students that just don't go home over the 0ZDDHWma30I-00828-00315201-00315484 break, because it is so short. 0ZDDHWma30I-00829-00315484-00316018 It's an important thing to check when you get here, to sort of plan, because I know, 0ZDDHWma30I-00830-00316018-00316448 I've had friends that have booked flight tickets home, and then had an exam four days later 0ZDDHWma30I-00831-00316448-00316764 and couldn't make it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00832-00316764-00317020 It's an uncommonly short break in between. 0ZDDHWma30I-00833-00317020-00317463 Kyle: Yeah, truth in advertising, we have fall semester and winter semester. 0ZDDHWma30I-00834-00317463-00317697 Which some people might know as spring semester, but. 0ZDDHWma30I-00835-00317697-00318234 We have winter term and we push spring-summer together in that moment. 0ZDDHWma30I-00836-00318234-00318767 Supraja: She mentioned about, booking flights in advance. 0ZDDHWma30I-00837-00318767-00319388 A lot of professors are ready to change their schedules to suit you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00838-00319388-00319621 They're not going to do it all the time. 0ZDDHWma30I-00839-00319621-00319795 But they are willing to accommodate. 0ZDDHWma30I-00840-00319795-00320464 A lot of professors, like, my class is 90 percent international students. 0ZDDHWma30I-00841-00320464-00320684 A lot of them wanted to go home. 0ZDDHWma30I-00842-00320684-00321128 When the professors give the exams daily, it's in the month of December. 0ZDDHWma30I-00843-00321128-00321489 When, like a bunch of people went in to talk to them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00844-00321489-00321786 They were willing to reschedule the exams, so that happens. 0ZDDHWma30I-00845-00321786-00321886 It's something. 0ZDDHWma30I-00846-00321886-00322014 Katy: It's worth an ask. 0ZDDHWma30I-00847-00322014-00322437 Paula: It's worth it asking, [inaudible 53:50] your faculty. 0ZDDHWma30I-00848-00322437-00322809 Are there other academic norms that you were surprised by that when you got here? 0ZDDHWma30I-00849-00322809-00322998 Again, it's hard to think back sometimes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00850-00322998-00323203 Supraja: You have to register for classes. 0ZDDHWma30I-00851-00323203-00323738 That kind of can be a bit challenging, when you don't understand in the beginning, but 0ZDDHWma30I-00852-00323738-00324058 then you get the hang of it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00853-00324058-00324499 Like Chukwuka said, you always have to be in touch with your coordinators, because they 0ZDDHWma30I-00854-00324499-00325252 know the best and they know which class...like the same class will be offered three times 0ZDDHWma30I-00855-00325252-00325578 a week, so which would suit your schedule best? 0ZDDHWma30I-00856-00325578-00326201 There's no time between the rest of your courses. 0ZDDHWma30I-00857-00326201-00326759 If you have any doubts, if you have an established relationship with your coordinator, all this 0ZDDHWma30I-00858-00326759-00326894 becomes nothing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00859-00326894-00327097 It's super easy. 0ZDDHWma30I-00860-00327097-00328015 Kyle: I was very confused and remain confused by the online platform that one uses to register 0ZDDHWma30I-00861-00328015-00328815 for classes, Wolverine Access, which, frankly, I find to be rather outdated and rather unintuitive, 0ZDDHWma30I-00862-00328815-00328991 difficult to navigate. 0ZDDHWma30I-00863-00328991-00329323 I would say to a new student, if you feel that way when you come in to register for 0ZDDHWma30I-00864-00329323-00329573 classes, you are not alone. 0ZDDHWma30I-00865-00329573-00330057 That graduate coordinator in your department could be a good resource. 0ZDDHWma30I-00866-00330057-00330419 I know trying to navigate and figure out, "Have I actually registered?" 0ZDDHWma30I-00867-00330419-00330519 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-00868-00330519-00331065 Kyle: It's an outdated system that I think we should improve. 0ZDDHWma30I-00869-00331065-00331761 But in the meantime, there are plenty of people who have found a way to actually go to class 0ZDDHWma30I-00870-00331761-00331864 and sign up for them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00871-00331864-00332008 Don't be afraid to ask people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00872-00332008-00332492 Or don't feel like you are really missing something just because the system seems odd. 0ZDDHWma30I-00873-00332492-00333031 Supraja: You have the course drop deadline thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00874-00333031-00333296 I don't know the exact timeline... 0ZDDHWma30I-00875-00333296-00333484 Kyle: Three weeks. 0ZDDHWma30I-00876-00333484-00333797 Supraja: Yeah, after classes start. 0ZDDHWma30I-00877-00333797-00334367 Even if you haven't registered for a really important course, personally go talk to the 0ZDDHWma30I-00878-00334367-00334851 professor and he will try his best to accommodate you in his class, unless his class is filled 0ZDDHWma30I-00879-00334851-00335118 the capacity and there are no seats. 0ZDDHWma30I-00880-00335118-00335709 I know classes, super popular courses, where professors have allowed you to sit in classes, 0ZDDHWma30I-00881-00335709-00336342 and not exactly sit, even stand in classes sometimes so that they can accommodate you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00882-00336342-00336806 Katy: I will say that registration is really important because of a lot of student benefits 0ZDDHWma30I-00883-00336806-00337017 that are tied to your registration. 0ZDDHWma30I-00884-00337017-00337403 It's a really important thing in terms of your health insurance sometimes, the distinction 0ZDDHWma30I-00885-00337403-00337724 between are you a part time student or a fulltime student? 0ZDDHWma30I-00886-00337724-00338208 It's a really good question for your department what constitutes as fulltime in our department, 0ZDDHWma30I-00887-00338208-00338784 because there are differences even between programs or between years in my department's 0ZDDHWma30I-00888-00338784-00338905 case. 0ZDDHWma30I-00889-00338905-00339634 As much as your fellow students can often be a resource, the requirements change. 0ZDDHWma30I-00890-00339634-00339844 The health insurance can change. 0ZDDHWma30I-00891-00339844-00340322 It's always best with something as important as registration to double check it. 0ZDDHWma30I-00892-00340322-00340871 Paula: Talk about the grant coordinators or the [inaudible 56:55] coordinators people 0ZDDHWma30I-00893-00340871-00341074 call them too, important people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00894-00341074-00341398 We haven't talked about faculty mentors and advisors. 0ZDDHWma30I-00895-00341398-00341985 I don't know if anyone wants to talk about advice or suggestions they would give to maximize 0ZDDHWma30I-00896-00341985-00342121 that relationship. 0ZDDHWma30I-00897-00342121-00342663 Chukwuka: To start, I think one of the main mindsets you have to come into graduate school 0ZDDHWma30I-00898-00342663-00343345 kind of being aware of is that not only are you going to be a student of the faculty and 0ZDDHWma30I-00899-00343345-00343760 of the different instructors and professors, but you're also going to be, in many cases, 0ZDDHWma30I-00900-00343760-00344037 during a research component, collaborators and colleagues with them. 0ZDDHWma30I-00901-00344037-00345002 In my opinion that's a huge mental stepping stone to really get that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00902-00345002-00345511 Having that relationship be collaborative and back and forth will really improve the 0ZDDHWma30I-00903-00345511-00346351 dynamic, whereas you don't really want it to be a dominant/subservient kind of relationship. 0ZDDHWma30I-00904-00346351-00346613 You're obviously going to be learning from them, but they can also learn from you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00905-00346613-00347132 You have to be able to understand that you are coming here to make a contribution, and 0ZDDHWma30I-00906-00347132-00347316 they're also working with you to do that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00907-00347316-00347940 I think that's really important, to put yourself into the right state when pursuing your graduate 0ZDDHWma30I-00908-00347940-00348632 degree and also making sure you meet with them weekly, establishing the relationship. 0ZDDHWma30I-00909-00348632-00349290 Have it not only based on academics, but be able to talk to them about social things, 0ZDDHWma30I-00910-00349290-00349734 sports activities, what they're interested in, how their family is doing. 0ZDDHWma30I-00911-00349734-00350103 Really forming a relationship with your advisor or your faculty that you'll be in contact 0ZDDHWma30I-00912-00350103-00350224 with is very important. 0ZDDHWma30I-00913-00350224-00350604 Katy: Actually, to piggyback off of that, I think it's important to realize that not 0ZDDHWma30I-00914-00350604-00351130 everybody's advisor/advisee relationship looks the same. 0ZDDHWma30I-00915-00351130-00351416 I actually don't discuss much of my personal life with my advisor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00916-00351416-00351840 I got married on the fly. 0ZDDHWma30I-00917-00351840-00351963 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00918-00351963-00352305 Katy: It just wasn't part of our relationship. 0ZDDHWma30I-00919-00352305-00352664 I know sometimes it would feel overwhelming, because you would hear somebody talk about, 0ZDDHWma30I-00920-00352664-00353022 "I went to drinks with my professor, and we were talking about our kids," and how amazing 0ZDDHWma30I-00921-00353022-00353122 that was. 0ZDDHWma30I-00922-00353122-00353468 I'm sitting there thinking, "My advisor doesn't even know where I'm from. 0ZDDHWma30I-00923-00353468-00353704 Am I doing it wrong?" 0ZDDHWma30I-00924-00353704-00354243 To realize that different relationships look different and it's up to you. 0ZDDHWma30I-00925-00354243-00354667 For me it was a really big step to realize that I could have many mentors. 0ZDDHWma30I-00926-00354667-00355342 I have one official advisor in terms of my dissertation, but I have many mentors. 0ZDDHWma30I-00927-00355342-00355824 Some of my mentors are better at other skills, so I do have somebody that I can go to if 0ZDDHWma30I-00928-00355824-00356023 I have a personal problem. 0ZDDHWma30I-00929-00356023-00356359 I have career advisors. 0ZDDHWma30I-00930-00356359-00356787 Having "Team Katy" is more effective for me. 0ZDDHWma30I-00931-00356787-00356896 There's so many... 0ZDDHWma30I-00932-00356896-00357025 Chukwuka: It takes a village. 0ZDDHWma30I-00933-00357025-00357373 Katy: It does take a village. 0ZDDHWma30I-00934-00357373-00357553 There are many ways to get through a PhD. 0ZDDHWma30I-00935-00357553-00358226 I know it was one of the big shifts for me, realizing that, in my department...at times 0ZDDHWma30I-00936-00358226-00358575 I still feel like everybody but me wants to be a professor. 0ZDDHWma30I-00937-00358575-00358996 I'm open to that, but I'm not sure that it's exactly what I want. 0ZDDHWma30I-00938-00358996-00359619 It was important for me to start reaching out for people that could mentor me in a different 0ZDDHWma30I-00939-00359619-00360094 career path if that's what I wanted. 0ZDDHWma30I-00940-00360094-00360514 Kristye: I want to piggyback off of what she... 0ZDDHWma30I-00941-00360514-00360614 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-00942-00360614-00360983 Kristye: I find that it's very easy to established mentorship here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00943-00360983-00361706 I actually am not sure if the actual clinical practice of pharmacy is something that I wanted 0ZDDHWma30I-00944-00361706-00362222 to do, but I knew that I wanted to do research maybe a more public type of area. 0ZDDHWma30I-00945-00362222-00362702 I have been able to go into the School of Public Health and find mentors there. 0ZDDHWma30I-00946-00362702-00362977 One of my greatest mentors is a physician here. 0ZDDHWma30I-00947-00362977-00363478 One of my other mentors is in dietary sciences. 0ZDDHWma30I-00948-00363478-00363920 You are able to get the people that you need. 0ZDDHWma30I-00949-00363920-00364114 You just have to be a go getter. 0ZDDHWma30I-00950-00364114-00364466 You have to be active in trying to establish those relationships with people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00951-00364466-00364644 A lot of people are open to that. 0ZDDHWma30I-00952-00364644-00364964 Natalie: Can I ask you, how does one establish a mentoring relationship? 0ZDDHWma30I-00953-00364964-00365200 How do you find these magical people? 0ZDDHWma30I-00954-00365200-00365300 What do you do? 0ZDDHWma30I-00955-00365300-00365451 Kristye: I use people find other people. 0ZDDHWma30I-00956-00365451-00365903 I might find one person, and I start talking to them about what I'm interested in. 0ZDDHWma30I-00957-00365903-00366322 That person is like, "Oh, I know somebody who may be able to help you." 0ZDDHWma30I-00958-00366322-00366621 Then they introduce me to somebody else. 0ZDDHWma30I-00959-00366621-00366864 That's kind of how I made my way around campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-00960-00366864-00367638 Supraja: I'd like to add a different perspective to this, because it's a lot of research oriented 0ZDDHWma30I-00961-00367638-00367790 stuff, advisors. 0ZDDHWma30I-00962-00367790-00368497 I'm from a professional program, as such, so we don't have advisors assigned to us. 0ZDDHWma30I-00963-00368497-00368984 I'm not even sure if we have like assigned mentors as such. 0ZDDHWma30I-00964-00368984-00369582 But we have the set of professors who take classes regularly for us. 0ZDDHWma30I-00965-00369582-00369929 Each semester, they take at least one course for us. 0ZDDHWma30I-00966-00369929-00370354 It's important to establish relationships with those professors, because they have professional 0ZDDHWma30I-00967-00370354-00370881 friends outside as well who can...They can direct you to them or they can give you profession 0ZDDHWma30I-00968-00370881-00371206 advice as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00969-00371206-00371684 Because they have experience outside academics. 0ZDDHWma30I-00970-00371684-00372640 Then, another big part of your relationship with faculty is faculty have office hours 0ZDDHWma30I-00971-00372640-00372821 assigned for each course. 0ZDDHWma30I-00972-00372821-00373174 You should make sure you go to those office hours. 0ZDDHWma30I-00973-00373174-00374142 It may not be about the subject, you can ask about the general area that you're interested 0ZDDHWma30I-00974-00374142-00374242 in. 0ZDDHWma30I-00975-00374242-00374676 Or maybe you can approach them about a certain idea you have and you want to research more 0ZDDHWma30I-00976-00374676-00374827 on. 0ZDDHWma30I-00977-00374827-00375206 You can ask if he can help you give more directions to us. 0ZDDHWma30I-00978-00375206-00375306 That's very important. 0ZDDHWma30I-00979-00375306-00375422 Officers are very important. 0ZDDHWma30I-00980-00375422-00375990 A lot of people religiously write down those office hours, but they never go. 0ZDDHWma30I-00981-00375990-00376121 I used to do that as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-00982-00376121-00376460 But then I realized the importance of office hours. 0ZDDHWma30I-00983-00376460-00377103 Paula: Taking action and going to office hours when they're not necessarily a need of a particular 0ZDDHWma30I-00984-00377103-00377245 question, but to establish relationships. 0ZDDHWma30I-00985-00377245-00377682 Other sorts of things that you can think of creating those relationships. 0ZDDHWma30I-00986-00377682-00378359 Katy: I find, in general, that if you go before whenever your concern is a crisis is the best 0ZDDHWma30I-00987-00378359-00378459 way. 0ZDDHWma30I-00988-00378459-00379070 That it's very hard to establish long-term relationships with people if the only time 0ZDDHWma30I-00989-00379070-00379306 you see them is when you're in crisis. 0ZDDHWma30I-00990-00379306-00379707 Not that your mentor won't be very important to you when you are in a crisis. 0ZDDHWma30I-00991-00379707-00379920 Kyle: Not that crises are all that common. 0ZDDHWma30I-00992-00379920-00380248 Katy: Not that everybody has multiple crises. 0ZDDHWma30I-00993-00380248-00380824 It's important to reframe smaller problems away from crisis, because the language of 0ZDDHWma30I-00994-00380824-00381540 crisis is pretty [inaudible 01:03:37] , but I found that I am really nervous when I feel 0ZDDHWma30I-00995-00381540-00381906 like things aren't going well, so I'm not best self. 0ZDDHWma30I-00996-00381906-00382268 That's not great conditions for me to meet people out there. 0ZDDHWma30I-00997-00382268-00382538 The speaker series has been important for me. 0ZDDHWma30I-00998-00382538-00383206 I go to different Rackham events and connect with students first and then use that if the 0ZDDHWma30I-00999-00383206-00383411 faculty seems intimidating. 0ZDDHWma30I-01000-00383411-00383762 It's sometimes easier to go through the graduate student that you know already works with that 0ZDDHWma30I-01001-00383762-00384738 faculty and ask, could you drop my name, and that sort of softens the beach, so to speak, 0ZDDHWma30I-01002-00384738-00385001 to making those connections. 0ZDDHWma30I-01003-00385001-00385462 Even if you aren't comfortable sort of cold going to office hours...There are a lot of 0ZDDHWma30I-01004-00385462-00385952 people who are willing to give advice about how to navigate those relationships, you just 0ZDDHWma30I-01005-00385952-00386126 have to be brave enough to ask. 0ZDDHWma30I-01006-00386126-00386417 Supraja: I have a point to add onto that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01007-00386417-00386922 When we were talking about graduates to her coordinators and how it is important to establish 0ZDDHWma30I-01008-00386922-00387458 a personal relationship with your coordinator, I know a lot of the students who, the graduate 0ZDDHWma30I-01009-00387458-00388053 students who are having the coordinators that are after them about filling a survey or submitting 0ZDDHWma30I-01010-00388053-00388170 your resumes on there. 0ZDDHWma30I-01011-00388170-00388587 But a lot of them do it in the last minute. 0ZDDHWma30I-01012-00388587-00388800 They have to be behind those people. 0ZDDHWma30I-01013-00388800-00389313 But when they have something that they need, like this letter that needs to be posted to 0ZDDHWma30I-01014-00389313-00390012 some company or reference or something, they go and go talk to the coordinator and think 0ZDDHWma30I-01015-00390012-00390374 that the coordinator's going to be like that, they're going to get the stuff done. 0ZDDHWma30I-01016-00390374-00390938 But when you have this personal relationship, when you're prompt in replying to their emails, 0ZDDHWma30I-01017-00390938-00391622 it's human nature, they're more willing to help you. 0ZDDHWma30I-01018-00391622-00392311 It's always important that you don't go only when you have a crisis. 0ZDDHWma30I-01019-00392311-00392894 You should always have this smooth, regular interaction with your faculty and coordinators. 0ZDDHWma30I-01020-00392894-00393376 Chukwuka: I think it's just a point to note as well, that a lot of the methods that we're 0ZDDHWma30I-01021-00393376-00393795 talking about in terms of forming these relationships are on ground, you would have to be here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01022-00393795-00394268 But I think you can even try and start forming those by sending an email right now to a professor 0ZDDHWma30I-01023-00394268-00394554 or faculty that you're interested in working with. 0ZDDHWma30I-01024-00394554-00395108 My experience is that they've been very receptive to that, responsive as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-01025-00395108-00395589 Even if that is not particularly the case, because all faculty and all students and everyone 0ZDDHWma30I-01026-00395589-00395919 here in the university is busy, because everyone's got a lot of things to do. 0ZDDHWma30I-01027-00395919-00396365 I would just say don't let that be a discouraging factor, obviously, you just keep going and 0ZDDHWma30I-01028-00396365-00396465 keep trying. 0ZDDHWma30I-01029-00396465-00396936 Kristye: Sometimes I found that you may have to send a few emails. 0ZDDHWma30I-01030-00396936-00397327 Not to the point where you become annoying, but just so that you can keep a presence. 0ZDDHWma30I-01031-00397327-00397846 Because some people -- we all get an overwhelming amount of emails. 0ZDDHWma30I-01032-00397846-00398461 If you can just drop a follow up email, a lot of times that does work, because people 0ZDDHWma30I-01033-00398461-00398613 check their emails and then they forget. 0ZDDHWma30I-01034-00398613-00399035 But then, if you follow up with them, they remember, "You know what, I need to respond 0ZDDHWma30I-01035-00399035-00399135 to this student." 0ZDDHWma30I-01036-00399135-00399235 Katy: That's important. 0ZDDHWma30I-01037-00399235-00399335 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01038-00399335-00399462 Paula: I want to just jump in for a second. 0ZDDHWma30I-01039-00399462-00399909 You had mentioned, Chuky, about doing some, "Before you get here" sort of behavior. 0ZDDHWma30I-01040-00399909-00400520 Are there other things that you guys did before you entered, before you were on ground, as 0ZDDHWma30I-01041-00400520-00400738 you put, before you got here? 0ZDDHWma30I-01042-00400738-00400892 Kyle: I took a vacation. 0ZDDHWma30I-01043-00400892-00400992 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-01044-00400992-00401817 Kyle: I came, most recently, from Nashville and drove up with all my things, just threw 0ZDDHWma30I-01045-00401817-00402756 everything into my apartment and, I think, a day later, just went on a 10-day vacation. 0ZDDHWma30I-01046-00402756-00403399 I went to the beach in South Carolina, and saw some of my family and saw some of my friends. 0ZDDHWma30I-01047-00403399-00403918 Not as a farewell tour, but more as a way to just reboot. 0ZDDHWma30I-01048-00403918-00404733 I had just finished about three years of working, I just really wanted that time to step away 0ZDDHWma30I-01049-00404733-00405358 and reflect a bit, and also relax and recharge my batteries, knowing that I was going to 0ZDDHWma30I-01050-00405358-00405949 be going into a pretty intensive transition period and a rigorous program here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01051-00405949-00406343 I also wanted to be really hot, when the cold came, I would appreciate that as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-01052-00406343-00406829 I wanted to be just as hot and humid as I could get, so I found it in South Carolina. 0ZDDHWma30I-01053-00406829-00407554 But I thought that was really great, just to have a little bit of time. 0ZDDHWma30I-01054-00407554-00408051 Not everyone's going to have that luxury, but if you can carve out a little bit of time, 0ZDDHWma30I-01055-00408051-00408606 I think, in August, before things really get going around Labor Day, I would really recommend 0ZDDHWma30I-01056-00408606-00408706 doing that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01057-00408706-00408897 Supraja: Yeah, that's important as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-01058-00408897-00409132 Do you want to go first? 0ZDDHWma30I-01059-00409132-00409232 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01060-00409232-00409345 Supraja: Yeah, that's important. 0ZDDHWma30I-01061-00409345-00409834 Then checking into minor details like housing, which I never did. 0ZDDHWma30I-01062-00409834-00410300 I came here and I had to search for housing, that's important. 0ZDDHWma30I-01063-00410300-00410708 Then, looking up into your insurance, especially for international students. 0ZDDHWma30I-01064-00410708-00411315 In some countries, there's no concept of insurance, unless you really want to, you will take insurance. 0ZDDHWma30I-01065-00411315-00411575 Otherwise, you don't need insurance. 0ZDDHWma30I-01066-00411575-00412094 That's a surprising detail that a lot of them don't -- just flies off their head. 0ZDDHWma30I-01067-00412094-00412263 You should check into that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01068-00412263-00412942 Then international students, again...I'm kind of talking on the perspective of an international 0ZDDHWma30I-01069-00412942-00413589 student, make sure you have all the stuff you need, like clothes. 0ZDDHWma30I-01070-00413589-00414183 If you need some medical supplies, like medicines, prescriptions, that need to be filled, make 0ZDDHWma30I-01071-00414183-00414672 sure you have that, so that when you come here, you're not in a situation where it's 0ZDDHWma30I-01072-00414672-00414822 kind of difficult. 0ZDDHWma30I-01073-00414822-00415072 Paula: Those are great suggestions. 0ZDDHWma30I-01074-00415072-00415601 In fact, I think you're backing up some of the things that were said in the international 0ZDDHWma30I-01075-00415601-00415977 panel, so we'll make sure we link to that so that we get that out. 0ZDDHWma30I-01076-00415977-00416193 I think they're particular things for international students, too. 0ZDDHWma30I-01077-00416193-00416337 You were going to say something? 0ZDDHWma30I-01078-00416337-00416437 Miguel: Yeah. 0ZDDHWma30I-01079-00416437-00416810 [inaudible 01:09:34] was very helpful to contact that person that was studying the same that 0ZDDHWma30I-01080-00416810-00416939 I did. 0ZDDHWma30I-01081-00416939-00417171 I just asked him a lot of questions. 0ZDDHWma30I-01082-00417171-00417393 First, I felt like, I don't know, like so excited. 0ZDDHWma30I-01083-00417393-00418015 I said, "Oh, I'm just asking stupid questions, basic questions," but they are the types of 0ZDDHWma30I-01084-00418015-00418231 things that everybody are asking themselves. 0ZDDHWma30I-01085-00418231-00418430 He was very helpful for me. 0ZDDHWma30I-01086-00418430-00418885 He helped me just saying things like, "If you take this class and this class and this 0ZDDHWma30I-01087-00418885-00419027 class, you will make it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01088-00419027-00419325 You should take another one, because it's work." 0ZDDHWma30I-01089-00419325-00419807 That was a very good insight and I think if you have another question, you could ask another 0ZDDHWma30I-01090-00419807-00420068 student that he will give you a lot of advice. 0ZDDHWma30I-01091-00420068-00420702 Kristye: I came up here a month before school started, so I was here July, well, almost 0ZDDHWma30I-01092-00420702-00420896 two months before school started. 0ZDDHWma30I-01093-00420896-00421157 It's not only important to contact people about logistical things like where you're 0ZDDHWma30I-01094-00421157-00421271 going to live and things like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01095-00421271-00421671 But it's also important, I'm sure many of you moved here without family. 0ZDDHWma30I-01096-00421671-00421973 It's also important to make those social connections. 0ZDDHWma30I-01097-00421973-00422588 Before I came here, I emailed other minority students in my program, so that we could meet 0ZDDHWma30I-01098-00422588-00422746 and greet before we got here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01099-00422746-00422996 Because I didn't have anybody else here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01100-00422996-00423244 I think that that's important as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-01101-00423244-00423709 Katy: I think that it's really easy when the school year gets started, especially the people 0ZDDHWma30I-01102-00423709-00424150 that you see all the time, your fellow graduate students...My program's really small, there's 0ZDDHWma30I-01103-00424150-00424383 only 10 of us, total. 0ZDDHWma30I-01104-00424383-00424701 It was very easy to slip into all school talk, all the time. 0ZDDHWma30I-01105-00424701-00425553 It was important, and we try and do it every year, to have a day where we talk, as humans. 0ZDDHWma30I-01106-00425553-00426050 Where we go to the beach or we go to the park and school talk is sort of off limits, so 0ZDDHWma30I-01107-00426050-00426318 that you know who these people are as people. 0ZDDHWma30I-01108-00426318-00426760 Because it's really easy to lose sight of that, especially when there are things that 0ZDDHWma30I-01109-00426760-00427172 are really important, like about this class, to recognize that these are people that they 0ZDDHWma30I-01110-00427172-00427384 have families, they have lives, they like certain music. 0ZDDHWma30I-01111-00427384-00427959 To be able to connect on things that are other than your immediate discipline can be really 0ZDDHWma30I-01112-00427959-00428076 enriching later on. 0ZDDHWma30I-01113-00428076-00428176 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01114-00428176-00428438 Kyle: Off the topic of things to do in advance, but it's important. 0ZDDHWma30I-01115-00428438-00429148 I have a cohort of nine people, you do spend almost all of your waking hours around some 0ZDDHWma30I-01116-00429148-00429296 people from that cohort. 0ZDDHWma30I-01117-00429296-00429766 But we [inaudible 01:11:43] things as well, so we also make a point of once a month doing 0ZDDHWma30I-01118-00429766-00430000 a potluck dinner or something. 0ZDDHWma30I-01119-00430000-00430478 We appoint a referee, because, inevitably, we get into talking shop about different professors 0ZDDHWma30I-01120-00430478-00430857 in the class that semester say, "We're not talking about that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01121-00430857-00431006 What's the last movie that you saw? 0ZDDHWma30I-01122-00431006-00431259 Please, talk about anything that's not..." 0ZDDHWma30I-01123-00431259-00431359 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01124-00431359-00431598 Kyle: Those are really good community building times, too. 0ZDDHWma30I-01125-00431598-00432002 Supraja: Yeah, those are really the important ones, I think. 0ZDDHWma30I-01126-00432002-00432645 Because, to be surrounded by your own classmates, you don't get a new perspective. 0ZDDHWma30I-01127-00432645-00433367 When you meet new people, you get, "Oh, this is happening," kind of feeling. 0ZDDHWma30I-01128-00433367-00434059 One more thing about socializing is that a lot of students tend to stick...For example, 0ZDDHWma30I-01129-00434059-00434500 I'm an international student from India and I tend to stick to...I've never done that 0ZDDHWma30I-01130-00434500-00435042 personally, but I know a lot of people who tend to stick to people from their own country, 0ZDDHWma30I-01131-00435042-00435201 and don't mingle with... 0ZDDHWma30I-01132-00435201-00435726 That kind of limits the experience that Ann Arbor has to offer. 0ZDDHWma30I-01133-00435726-00436277 We can experience so much diversity, so much new experiences. 0ZDDHWma30I-01134-00436277-00437005 I think when we do that, we miss out on a lot of things that we will remember way later 0ZDDHWma30I-01135-00437005-00437117 in life. 0ZDDHWma30I-01136-00437117-00437404 It's important to mingle, is what I had said. 0ZDDHWma30I-01137-00437404-00437842 Paula: You mentioned some things you do for fun, sports, we know that's [inaudible 01:13:08] 0ZDDHWma30I-01138-00437842-00438328 . Are there other things you'd say that you really look forward to or great ways that 0ZDDHWma30I-01139-00438328-00438935 you find are ways to have fun here in Ann Arbor that we haven't talked about? 0ZDDHWma30I-01140-00438935-00439520 Supraja: I am a part of the Ann Arbor Rowing Club, which is not part of the University 0ZDDHWma30I-01141-00439520-00439634 of Michigan. 0ZDDHWma30I-01142-00439634-00440055 University of Michigan has a rowing team as well, but I've never been a part of it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01143-00440055-00440682 I joined this summer, learned to row, and I'm a part of the novice team right now. 0ZDDHWma30I-01144-00440682-00440880 I'm actually going to race next weekend. 0ZDDHWma30I-01145-00440880-00441029 That's kind of exciting. 0ZDDHWma30I-01146-00441029-00441769 I'm no pro, but it's tough to do, nice tough to do. 0ZDDHWma30I-01147-00441769-00442284 I'm interning and then a good break would be to go for a rowing class in the evenings. 0ZDDHWma30I-01148-00442284-00442513 I get to meet a lot of different people. 0ZDDHWma30I-01149-00442513-00443204 Now I get, not only to meet students, but people who live lives, which are apart from 0ZDDHWma30I-01150-00443204-00443682 University of Michigan, who teach at Ann Arbor schools and work at... 0ZDDHWma30I-01151-00443682-00443782 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01152-00443782-00444195 Kristye: I signed up for MeetUp. 0ZDDHWma30I-01153-00444195-00444414 It's a website. 0ZDDHWma30I-01154-00444414-00444872 I get an email every week, just telling me what MeetUp groups are going on. 0ZDDHWma30I-01155-00444872-00445372 It's different areas, so food and drink or club or religious affiliations. 0ZDDHWma30I-01156-00445372-00446139 I peruse that every week to see what's going on, and then make my decisions from there. 0ZDDHWma30I-01157-00446139-00446282 Paula: That's cool. 0ZDDHWma30I-01158-00446282-00446730 Katy: I actually have a writing group that I meet with that meets off campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-01159-00446730-00446978 I'm the only one doing academic writing. 0ZDDHWma30I-01160-00446978-00447422 Actually, everybody else is writing science fiction and fantasy novels. 0ZDDHWma30I-01161-00447422-00447821 But it's sort of nice to have a place where I still feel like I'm working, but it's in 0ZDDHWma30I-01162-00447821-00448084 a coffee shop and I'm not in the library. 0ZDDHWma30I-01163-00448084-00448436 I'm going to also give a plug for the Ann Arbor Libraries. 0ZDDHWma30I-01164-00448436-00448886 They have a really great library system with great talks and authors. 0ZDDHWma30I-01165-00448886-00449464 I find it really helpful to read things that aren't for school, that I am... 0ZDDHWma30I-01166-00449464-00449587 Paula: That's crazy. 0ZDDHWma30I-01167-00449587-00449710 Katy: Crazy time. 0ZDDHWma30I-01168-00449710-00450055 But I had a pretty difficult first year. 0ZDDHWma30I-01169-00450055-00450453 When I got here I sort of felt like everybody else was working all of the time, so I needed 0ZDDHWma30I-01170-00450453-00450557 to work all the time. 0ZDDHWma30I-01171-00450557-00451034 I used to keep this notebook full of books that other people referenced, which in the 0ZDDHWma30I-01172-00451034-00451276 Humanities is a pretty big deal. 0ZDDHWma30I-01173-00451276-00451763 Then, if I had any spare time, I would start reading things on that list and it got to 0ZDDHWma30I-01174-00451763-00452082 the point where I wasn't doing anything else. 0ZDDHWma30I-01175-00452082-00452607 I really had to stop this summer afterwards and take stock of what I was doing. 0ZDDHWma30I-01176-00452607-00453114 I actually have a firm cutoff time that I don't do work after a certain point, around 0ZDDHWma30I-01177-00453114-00453380 certain days, or for certain weeks. 0ZDDHWma30I-01178-00453380-00453811 It makes me more productive, because I'm excited about that vacation, I want to be able to 0ZDDHWma30I-01179-00453811-00453911 stop. 0ZDDHWma30I-01180-00453911-00454520 But it helps me feel like I am a real person, because you can, very much, let your identity 0ZDDHWma30I-01181-00454520-00454863 be some sort of subsumed under your... 0ZDDHWma30I-01182-00454863-00455539 It can lead to really great work, but sometimes at pretty great cost. 0ZDDHWma30I-01183-00455539-00455984 Finding whatever structures you need to feel a little bit of balance... 0ZDDHWma30I-01184-00455984-00456280 Supraja: I think that's a very important point. 0ZDDHWma30I-01185-00456280-00456380 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01186-00456380-00456946 Natalie: I just wanted to mention that you're talking about this -- we'll definitely get 0ZDDHWma30I-01187-00456946-00457088 to your point. 0ZDDHWma30I-01188-00457088-00457742 Everyone around you is working very hard, you're at Michigan, the best and the brightest. 0ZDDHWma30I-01189-00457742-00457848 Kyle: Leaders and best. 0ZDDHWma30I-01190-00457848-00457982 Natalie: Leaders and best, sorry. 0ZDDHWma30I-01191-00457982-00458722 I wanted to hear from other people about how that realization came about for you and how 0ZDDHWma30I-01192-00458722-00459192 did you manage that, because I think it can be a difficult thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-01193-00459192-00459457 Supraja: That is exactly what I was going to add on, too. 0ZDDHWma30I-01194-00459457-00459557 Natalie: Perfect. 0ZDDHWma30I-01195-00459557-00460198 Supraja: It's a kind of glow on your self-confidence, in the sense...You constantly think that people 0ZDDHWma30I-01196-00460198-00460894 are better than you, you're not doing your best, you're not putting your best foot forward. 0ZDDHWma30I-01197-00460894-00461372 It goes to a point that instead of focusing on what's important, it's the fears that you 0ZDDHWma30I-01198-00461372-00461472 focus on, "Oh, my God. 0ZDDHWma30I-01199-00461472-00461757 I'm not doing this, I'm not doing this." 0ZDDHWma30I-01200-00461757-00462326 You should think that 4.0 GPA is not the only thing you are here for. 0ZDDHWma30I-01201-00462326-00462651 You are here for a lot of things. 0ZDDHWma30I-01202-00462651-00462809 You should focus on all. 0ZDDHWma30I-01203-00462809-00463017 You should have this right balance. 0ZDDHWma30I-01204-00463017-00463446 You should always be confident about your abilities. 0ZDDHWma30I-01205-00463446-00463992 You might not get the best grade in your class, but it does not mean that you have no skills 0ZDDHWma30I-01206-00463992-00464092 at all. 0ZDDHWma30I-01207-00464092-00464497 You have some of the skills, which are way better than the others in your class. 0ZDDHWma30I-01208-00464497-00465052 You should capitalize on your skills, on your plus points. 0ZDDHWma30I-01209-00465052-00465789 When you do that, you enjoy your entire experience, it's not like this whole, depressing stretch. 0ZDDHWma30I-01210-00465789-00466296 Like she said, my first year was very difficult in the sense that I was thinking, "Oh, my 0ZDDHWma30I-01211-00466296-00466396 God. 0ZDDHWma30I-01212-00466396-00466496 I'm such a loser. 0ZDDHWma30I-01213-00466496-00466715 I don't know anything about the subject." 0ZDDHWma30I-01214-00466715-00467214 Math was really difficult for me, though I did an undergrad degree in math. 0ZDDHWma30I-01215-00467214-00467359 Math was really difficult. 0ZDDHWma30I-01216-00467359-00468037 But now I understand that I might not be good at math, but I'm really good at business courses 0ZDDHWma30I-01217-00468037-00468797 and my communication skills are good, so I should concentrate on those so that I going 0ZDDHWma30I-01218-00468797-00468909 forward I do better. 0ZDDHWma30I-01219-00468909-00469069 Kyle: That's what I did. 0ZDDHWma30I-01220-00469069-00469187 Oh, go ahead. 0ZDDHWma30I-01221-00469187-00469682 Chukwuka: It's kind of reiterating some of the points, but there's a term for this, it's 0ZDDHWma30I-01222-00469682-00469807 called imposter syndrome. 0ZDDHWma30I-01223-00469807-00470264 I think it's prevalent at any higher education institution. 0ZDDHWma30I-01224-00470264-00470855 It's just something that you really need to kind of step back, breathe, and say, "Everyone 0ZDDHWma30I-01225-00470855-00471073 has some type of struggle at some point." 0ZDDHWma30I-01226-00471073-00471490 Graduate school is a sign way that goes up and down, there are high points, there are 0ZDDHWma30I-01227-00471490-00471590 difficult points. 0ZDDHWma30I-01228-00471590-00471714 But at the end of it, it's always... 0ZDDHWma30I-01229-00471714-00471814 Kyle: You're still here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01230-00471814-00472165 Chukwuka: You're still here and you're working towards a degree, just like everyone else. 0ZDDHWma30I-01231-00472165-00472376 It's just important to keep that perspective. 0ZDDHWma30I-01232-00472376-00472890 Any time you start to feel overwhelmed, which you will at some point in your graduate career. 0ZDDHWma30I-01233-00472890-00473471 But it is not the end of the world, you should have a support group that you can go to to 0ZDDHWma30I-01234-00473471-00473838 discuss these things, get yourself out of a funk, and keep going. 0ZDDHWma30I-01235-00473838-00474255 If you have that there, it's only temporary. 0ZDDHWma30I-01236-00474255-00474967 Kyle: What I've told new students coming in is that you know that our faculty people here 0ZDDHWma30I-01237-00474967-00475226 are very smart and insightful. 0ZDDHWma30I-01238-00475226-00475539 I said if you're on an admissions committee, they don't make mistakes. 0ZDDHWma30I-01239-00475539-00476013 Everyone who's here belongs here, deserves to be here, and has something to offer. 0ZDDHWma30I-01240-00476013-00476573 I also advise them to...One thing that I've found out was when I have those [inaudible 0ZDDHWma30I-01241-00476573-00477121 01:19:36] moments, I go back and look at my application to come here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01242-00477121-00477221 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01243-00477221-00477573 Kyle: ...my Statement of Purpose and then my personal statement and I remind myself 0ZDDHWma30I-01244-00477573-00477867 of why did I get into this? 0ZDDHWma30I-01245-00477867-00477967 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01246-00477967-00478344 Kyle: Every time I read it, I just sort of, "Oh, right, I came for those three things 0ZDDHWma30I-01247-00478344-00478496 and I'm doing that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01248-00478496-00478775 I'm doing a pretty good job and I'm still here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01249-00478775-00479282 Let me just take hope from some of my original motivation." 0ZDDHWma30I-01250-00479282-00479882 You can kind of lose sight of that in the mix of things that you're being asked to do. 0ZDDHWma30I-01251-00479882-00480475 But to go back, your foundational principles for this whole enterprise is really important, 0ZDDHWma30I-01252-00480475-00480575 too. 0ZDDHWma30I-01253-00480575-00481189 Miguel: I think you can get from graduate school what you want. 0ZDDHWma30I-01254-00481189-00481563 You have to work hard and you have to work with your colleagues. 0ZDDHWma30I-01255-00481563-00482005 You have to do your best, and then feel at the end of the class [inaudible 01:20:30] 0ZDDHWma30I-01256-00482005-00482105 with their grade. 0ZDDHWma30I-01257-00482105-00482205 That's fine. 0ZDDHWma30I-01258-00482205-00482421 If you get what you want, and if you get the skills that you are needed to nurture for 0ZDDHWma30I-01259-00482421-00482876 your life, in order to prove your ability for the future, it's fine. 0ZDDHWma30I-01260-00482876-00483462 It depends up to you what kind of resource or what kind of objective you want to get 0ZDDHWma30I-01261-00483462-00483613 from here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01262-00483613-00483961 Yeah, getting an A plus is not always important. 0ZDDHWma30I-01263-00483961-00484113 It's more important to really learn what's... 0ZDDHWma30I-01264-00484113-00484213 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01265-00484213-00484615 Paula: Go ahead, Kristye, because you had something you had suggested last time that 0ZDDHWma30I-01266-00484615-00484758 was real helpful. 0ZDDHWma30I-01267-00484758-00485357 Kristye: I was going to say that it's hard sometimes when you find yourself studying 0ZDDHWma30I-01268-00485357-00485807 and not getting the returns back on your studying. 0ZDDHWma30I-01269-00485807-00486373 You may invest several hours into studying for an exam or writing a paper, something 0ZDDHWma30I-01270-00486373-00486803 of that nature, and then you don't get the grade that you anticipate getting. 0ZDDHWma30I-01271-00486803-00487129 I know my program is very competitive. 0ZDDHWma30I-01272-00487129-00487534 It sometimes can be competitive amongst each other. 0ZDDHWma30I-01273-00487534-00488122 I always have to remind myself, and you all may have read this before in a book called 0ZDDHWma30I-01274-00488122-00488222 The Four Agreements. 0ZDDHWma30I-01275-00488222-00488459 One of the things is to always do your best. 0ZDDHWma30I-01276-00488459-00488882 I always have to remind myself to just do my best and my best does not look like everybody 0ZDDHWma30I-01277-00488882-00489253 else's best, but I know that I did what I could. 0ZDDHWma30I-01278-00489253-00489874 It kind of released the stress of feeling like I'm not doing as good as everybody else, 0ZDDHWma30I-01279-00489874-00490096 because I'm doing what I can do. 0ZDDHWma30I-01280-00490096-00490538 I know that my, as somebody already said, what I do may be better than what somebody 0ZDDHWma30I-01281-00490538-00490888 else can do for their skill set, but then they have something that's better for them, 0ZDDHWma30I-01282-00490888-00491151 that they can do. 0ZDDHWma30I-01283-00491151-00491422 Paula: You had talked about the reading load. 0ZDDHWma30I-01284-00491422-00491634 One time you had shared that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01285-00491634-00492246 I don't know if you're willing to share that approach you take, because I think it helps 0ZDDHWma30I-01286-00492246-00492346 people understand the realities. 0ZDDHWma30I-01287-00492346-00492792 Kyle: I can only speak for my own program, but imagine the people in the social science 0ZDDHWma30I-01288-00492792-00493289 that many are like it in that we have a statistics sequence that we go through, but there are 0ZDDHWma30I-01289-00493289-00494075 also courses that are much more content-based, in my case higher education. 0ZDDHWma30I-01290-00494075-00494803 We can look at a syllabus, and there are far more pages for a week of reading than you 0ZDDHWma30I-01291-00494803-00495330 think are feasible to get through, and you're right. 0ZDDHWma30I-01292-00495330-00496155 I think over the first year you need to figure out the best way for you to read, and the 0ZDDHWma30I-01293-00496155-00496416 best way for you to contribute to your colleagues. 0ZDDHWma30I-01294-00496416-00497088 I think the way that we broke it down when we last spoke was there are six pretty dense 0ZDDHWma30I-01295-00497088-00497455 articles that I'm expected to read for a course. 0ZDDHWma30I-01296-00497455-00497953 I'm probably going to really focus on three of them, and take a lot of notes and think 0ZDDHWma30I-01297-00497953-00498231 them through and think about connections across them. 0ZDDHWma30I-01298-00498231-00498650 Then on two of them I'll read through them. 0ZDDHWma30I-01299-00498650-00499140 I probably won't go as in depth and spend as much time with them. 0ZDDHWma30I-01300-00499140-00500007 One, I'll know what it's about and have a few marginal notes. 0ZDDHWma30I-01301-00500007-00500417 As you get a sense of what's in front of you, you can say these are the things that I'm 0ZDDHWma30I-01302-00500417-00501082 really most passionate about, and then these couple of things seem relevant, and this I'm 0ZDDHWma30I-01303-00501082-00501503 not sure is going to be that helpful in getting me to what I want to know, but I know that 0ZDDHWma30I-01304-00501503-00501873 someone will care a lot about this and help me understand it better. 0ZDDHWma30I-01305-00501873-00502413 If you really invest yourself in those three, and then you have a good working knowledge 0ZDDHWma30I-01306-00502413-00503144 of two, and then you have one where you just take the hit, that really helps you move through. 0ZDDHWma30I-01307-00503144-00503726 I don't think that you need to go through all 500 pages of whatever that is and fill 0ZDDHWma30I-01308-00503726-00504065 them with red ink, with all your notes, everything you ever learned, and things you're never 0ZDDHWma30I-01309-00504065-00504483 going to have time, even in a three hour class session, to get through. 0ZDDHWma30I-01310-00504483-00504806 Not that it's all about performing in class. 0ZDDHWma30I-01311-00504806-00505521 It's about identifying what are the most important parts of this week for you to help meet your 0ZDDHWma30I-01312-00505521-00506110 own learning objectives, and to where you can also contribute to the educational environment, 0ZDDHWma30I-01313-00506110-00506832 and to not ruin yourself trying to be all things every day, because that will burn you 0ZDDHWma30I-01314-00506832-00506942 out real quick. 0ZDDHWma30I-01315-00506942-00507417 Katy: I do just want to point out that there's the imposter syndrome that I think almost 0ZDDHWma30I-01316-00507417-00507971 everybody feels at certain points, and then there's also legitimate mental health concerns. 0ZDDHWma30I-01317-00507971-00508507 One of the great things about this campus is that there's an amazing mental health network 0ZDDHWma30I-01318-00508507-00508609 through various services. 0ZDDHWma30I-01319-00508609-00509060 There's one called CAPS that's in the union... 0ZDDHWma30I-01320-00509060-00509188 Kyle: What does that stand for? 0ZDDHWma30I-01321-00509188-00509584 Katy: The Counseling and Psychological Services, where you can walk in at any time and speak 0ZDDHWma30I-01322-00509584-00510092 to someone on a right now basis, or on a maybe I can reach them next week basis. 0ZDDHWma30I-01323-00510092-00510587 There's also a psych clinic closer to this end of campus that you can see. 0ZDDHWma30I-01324-00510587-00511103 I actually was in a dissertation support group that was less like therapy and more like, 0ZDDHWma30I-01325-00511103-00511288 here are some of the problems that people have focusing. 0ZDDHWma30I-01326-00511288-00511951 It was an eight week how do I get through this massive beast of a thing called dissertation, 0ZDDHWma30I-01327-00511951-00512153 from a mental health perspective. 0ZDDHWma30I-01328-00512153-00512682 It was really freeing for me to realize that everybody felt what I was feeling to some 0ZDDHWma30I-01329-00512682-00513132 degree, but there were people who were feeling what I was feeling to the degree I was, and 0ZDDHWma30I-01330-00513132-00513721 there was help for me and people who understood that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01331-00513721-00514246 Most everybody in graduate school at Michigan understands that this is a high pressure, 0ZDDHWma30I-01332-00514246-00514851 high stress situation that not everybody's ready to jump into that right away and that 0ZDDHWma30I-01333-00514851-00515251 there's going to be points where you might need more help than other times and that there's 0ZDDHWma30I-01334-00515251-00515484 a network already in place for you here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01335-00515484-00515821 You are not the first one to sit at home and need help. 0ZDDHWma30I-01336-00515821-00515959 Paula: Thanks for bringing that up, Katy. 0ZDDHWma30I-01337-00515959-00516520 There are a number of things...You mentioned Sweetland right at the beginning, of writing 0ZDDHWma30I-01338-00516520-00516620 support. 0ZDDHWma30I-01339-00516620-00516859 Mental health support, statistical support actually right here at Rackham. 0ZDDHWma30I-01340-00516859-00517336 There are a lot of things that you will be made aware of when you get here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01341-00517336-00517657 We'll also have links to that, and at fall welcome there will be a lot of representatives 0ZDDHWma30I-01342-00517657-00517942 form those organizations here too so you can get an overview. 0ZDDHWma30I-01343-00517942-00518073 Natalie: For sure. 0ZDDHWma30I-01344-00518073-00518598 I think that's one of the things that a lot of students mention about U of M proper. 0ZDDHWma30I-01345-00518598-00518948 It's that there are so many resources here. 0ZDDHWma30I-01346-00518948-00519528 There seems to be almost something to support your every need. 0ZDDHWma30I-01347-00519528-00519723 It's a little bit of an exaggeration. 0ZDDHWma30I-01348-00519723-00520196 I think it's good to know that they're there, but it's also good to know that it's OK to 0ZDDHWma30I-01349-00520196-00520388 take advantages of resources. 0ZDDHWma30I-01350-00520388-00520529 You would agree with that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01351-00520529-00520740 Because that's what they're there for. 0ZDDHWma30I-01352-00520740-00521056 Yeah, we'll definitely have some links in this transcript. 0ZDDHWma30I-01353-00521056-00521338 Paula: We're getting to the end of our time. 0ZDDHWma30I-01354-00521338-00521438 Am I accurate? 0ZDDHWma30I-01355-00521438-00521538 Natalie: Yes. 0ZDDHWma30I-01356-00521538-00521659 Paula: My clock matches your clock. 0ZDDHWma30I-01357-00521659-00522065 A couple things that had come up when we were talking about doing this call, to shake it 0ZDDHWma30I-01358-00522065-00522168 out and talk about it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01359-00522168-00522780 Some of the things that you'll hear when you get here, like the Diag, the Big House is 0ZDDHWma30I-01360-00522780-00522880 our football stadium. 0ZDDHWma30I-01361-00522880-00523234 Is anyone willing to share what this means? 0ZDDHWma30I-01362-00523234-00523435 Does anyone know? 0ZDDHWma30I-01363-00523435-00523535 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01364-00523535-00524076 Katy: If you're from Michigan, people will use this to orient you within the state. 0ZDDHWma30I-01365-00524076-00524574 We'll use a double because they don't want to forget the Upper Peninsula. 0ZDDHWma30I-01366-00524574-00525003 But for instance, if I were to tell people where I'm from, I say I'm from here, just 0ZDDHWma30I-01367-00525003-00525330 outside of Detroit, I go to school here, my family is from up here... 0ZDDHWma30I-01368-00525330-00525430 Paula: Because the state of Michigan looks like... 0ZDDHWma30I-01369-00525430-00525621 Katy: Because the state of Michigan is a hand. 0ZDDHWma30I-01370-00525621-00525721 Kyle: It's a mitten. 0ZDDHWma30I-01371-00525721-00526152 Katy: When people will say, "Oh yeah, it's in Kalamazoo," they'll gesture to their hand 0ZDDHWma30I-01372-00526152-00526340 without thinking about it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01373-00526340-00526440 That's sort of a thing. 0ZDDHWma30I-01374-00526440-00526844 Supraja: I just found out yesterday. 0ZDDHWma30I-01375-00526844-00526981 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-01376-00526981-00527117 [crosstalk] 0ZDDHWma30I-01377-00527117-00527740 Paula: Any other sorts of things that you think they'll be fresh off the train, bus, 0ZDDHWma30I-01378-00527740-00528034 flight and it might be helpful to know? 0ZDDHWma30I-01379-00528034-00528526 Chukwuka: One of the first things that someone told me when I came to campus was a lot of 0ZDDHWma30I-01380-00528526-00528686 M, the Michigan M, plastered around campus. 0ZDDHWma30I-01381-00528686-00529021 On the ground, little plaques and everything. 0ZDDHWma30I-01382-00529021-00529474 Apparently, you're not supposed to step on them before your first exam. 0ZDDHWma30I-01383-00529474-00529574 [laughter] 0ZDDHWma30I-01384-00529574-00530099 Katy: But there is a way to break that curse if you accidentally do it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01385-00530099-00531101 It involves running between Rackham and the undergraduate library before the clock strikes 0ZDDHWma30I-01386-00531101-00531498 12, which means you have to do it at noon. 0ZDDHWma30I-01387-00531498-00531598 I'm sorry. 0ZDDHWma30I-01388-00531598-00531986 I guess just avoid it unless you're a really fast sprinter. 0ZDDHWma30I-01389-00531986-00532796 Kyle: Fresh off the plane you also might hear about Ypsi and wonder if that's a real word. 0ZDDHWma30I-01390-00532796-00533394 It's not, but it is shorthand for the town next door to us, Ypsilanti, which is home 0ZDDHWma30I-01391-00533394-00533519 to Eastern Michigan University. 0ZDDHWma30I-01392-00533519-00534071 It's a little odd that we're the University of Michigan and just 10 miles down the road 0ZDDHWma30I-01393-00534071-00534436 is Eastern Michigan University. 0ZDDHWma30I-01394-00534436-00535040 I would also say that downtown Ypsi is also a good place to get out of Ann Arbor and try 0ZDDHWma30I-01395-00535040-00535165 some different things. 0ZDDHWma30I-01396-00535165-00535640 It's a different vibe there, but it's a good place as well. 0ZDDHWma30I-01397-00535640-00535939 Supraja: We have a lot of colleges that are in Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-01398-00535939-00536319 University of Michigan is not the only university in town. 0ZDDHWma30I-01399-00536319-00536686 We have community colleges and small law colleges around. 0ZDDHWma30I-01400-00536686-00537271 There's this Washtenaw Community College which offers a lot of courses about practical skills 0ZDDHWma30I-01401-00537271-00537371 like... 0ZDDHWma30I-01402-00537371-00537702 I know this friend of mine who took motor biking classes. 0ZDDHWma30I-01403-00537702-00538351 He took classes for two days and then he got the license for motor biking. 0ZDDHWma30I-01404-00538351-00538517 You can find things like that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01405-00538517-00539007 Paula: Washtenaw is right between Eastern and Michigan, so it's right in between. 0ZDDHWma30I-01406-00539007-00539198 Kyle: We are Washtenaw County. 0ZDDHWma30I-01407-00539198-00539321 It's a mouthful. 0ZDDHWma30I-01408-00539321-00539792 Paula: We're in the Eastern time zone. 0ZDDHWma30I-01409-00539792-00540086 I'm just going to say that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01410-00540086-00540213 People always question it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01411-00540213-00540373 Depending where you're coming from. 0ZDDHWma30I-01412-00540373-00540588 Supraja: The mall is beyond the South University. 0ZDDHWma30I-01413-00540588-00540741 It is the Briarwood Mall. 0ZDDHWma30I-01414-00540741-00541380 It's the biggest mall around Ann Arbor. 0ZDDHWma30I-01415-00541380-00541609 It has most stuff you need. 0ZDDHWma30I-01416-00541609-00542469 Chukwuka: I'd also like to add the league and the union refer to the Michigan League 0ZDDHWma30I-01417-00542469-00542652 and the Michigan Union. 0ZDDHWma30I-01418-00542652-00542834 They're two different buildings. 0ZDDHWma30I-01419-00542834-00543342 You can probably explain it a little bit better, because I've only been to them two or three 0ZDDHWma30I-01420-00543342-00543442 times. 0ZDDHWma30I-01421-00543442-00544017 Katy: The Michigan Union has...Both of them are big buildings with gathering spaces, with 0ZDDHWma30I-01422-00544017-00544175 meeting spaces, with ballroom. 0ZDDHWma30I-01423-00544175-00544882 They also always have fast foot in the basement, if you're hungry. 0ZDDHWma30I-01424-00544882-00545410 The League is the one that was only open for women. 0ZDDHWma30I-01425-00545410-00545977 Originally the Union was for men only, so they built the League so ladies could congregate. 0ZDDHWma30I-01426-00545977-00546536 I feel a specially affinity to the League. 0ZDDHWma30I-01427-00546536-00546983 The speech that founded the Peace Corps was given on the steps of the Michigan Union by 0ZDDHWma30I-01428-00546983-00547109 John F. Kennedy. 0ZDDHWma30I-01429-00547109-00547513 There's a lot of cool history around the buildings. 0ZDDHWma30I-01430-00547513-00547963 I would recommend that actually...They don't do an orientation tour for grad students, 0ZDDHWma30I-01431-00547963-00548314 but there are tours available through the admissions office. 0ZDDHWma30I-01432-00548314-00548869 I've seen people tag onto campus day tours just to get a sense, because there's a lot 0ZDDHWma30I-01433-00548869-00549159 of history of the campus that you don't get any other way. 0ZDDHWma30I-01434-00549159-00549603 If there's a chance to take a campus tour, I would say do it so you can learn about the... 0ZDDHWma30I-01435-00549603-00549756 Kyle: I'll quickly toss in on that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01436-00549756-00550071 We have a new president who's coming in. 0ZDDHWma30I-01437-00550071-00550964 President Coleman just retired from that position, and a new President Schlissel is arriving. 0ZDDHWma30I-01438-00550964-00551390 We'll have a big event here on September 5th, which is inauguration. 0ZDDHWma30I-01439-00551390-00552017 There will be hundreds of academic officials from across the country and around the world 0ZDDHWma30I-01440-00552017-00552284 who will come here for that event. 0ZDDHWma30I-01441-00552284-00552840 That will be a ticketed event, but I think that will be also open for students, everyone 0ZDDHWma30I-01442-00552840-00553050 else, in the main auditorium on Campus Hill. 0ZDDHWma30I-01443-00553050-00553257 There will be a big celebration for that. 0ZDDHWma30I-01444-00553257-00553782 That will be a historic moment for the university, just our first week of class back. 0ZDDHWma30I-01445-00553782-00553992 Paula: That's a beautiful way to end this. 0ZDDHWma30I-01446-00553992-00554092 Natalie: It is. 0ZDDHWma30I-01447-00554092-00554192 That's very nice. 0ZDDHWma30I-01448-00554192-00554371 We are at our time. 0ZDDHWma30I-01449-00554371-00554996 Maybe we could end with something that you'll probably hear a little bit, especially if 0ZDDHWma30I-01450-00554996-00555423 you go to a football game, is "Go Blue." 0ZDDHWma30I-01451-00555423-00555557 If we could say goodbye to everyone by saying "Go Blue" I would appreciate it. 0ZDDHWma30I-01452-00555557-00555692 On the count of three. 0ZDDHWma30I-01453-00555692-00555804 One, two, three... 0ZDDHWma30I-01454-00555804-00555915 Group: Go Blue! 0ZDDHWma30I-01455-00555915-00556102 Paula: We'll see you soon. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00000-00000009-00000470 If you're still in Champion Select, Kindred can pretty much dodge what he has to hit you and will have enough reaction time 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00001-00000470-00000652 to ult while he uses his. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00002-00000652-00000981 Warwick will be tankier and have more lifesteal at pretty much any time in the game, while 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00003-00000981-00001342 Rengar's invisibility will allow him to strike and kill before he can do much. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00004-00001342-00001692 Rek'Sai, Elise and Gragas have interesting matchups versus him because of their increased 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00005-00001692-00001855 escapability and hard CC. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00006-00001855-00002238 Kayn's passive allows him to change forms between a blue and a red one, based on whether 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00007-00002238-00002609 he's damaged (NOT KILLED) more ranged or melee Champions respectively. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00008-00002609-00002986 The Blue form will burn enemies after damaging them, and makes him a squishy assassin, while 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00009-00002986-00003342 the red form makes him a tanky bruiser and will heal him when he hits abilities. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00010-00003342-00003508 His Q is a Dash and Flourish. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00011-00003508-00003810 His W makes him perform an upward sweep after a short delay. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00012-00003810-00004073 He can't move while casting it, unless he's in his blue form. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00013-00004073-00004346 If he's in the red one, it'll knock up the enemies that get hit. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00014-00004346-00004578 His E allows him to literally move through walls. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00015-00004578-00004924 If he's in his blue form, then he'll also remove slows and become immune to them for 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00016-00004924-00005024 the duration. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00017-00005024-00005360 This ability allows him to use some interesting ganking paths and will force you to place 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00018-00005360-00005696 wards in weird places to prevent him from showing up and surprise you. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00019-00005696-00006028 His Ultimate makes him infest an enemy becoming untargetable for the duration and reactivating 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00020-00006028-00006128 it brings him out dealing damage. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00021-00006128-00006228 Blue form means longer range. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00022-00006228-00006357 Red form means healing when he comes out. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00023-00006357-00006769 A large percentage will turn into the red Kayn due to the tank meta we're in and his 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00024-00006769-00007459 combo will most likely look like this: Q, AA, W, AA, Q, AA, Ulti 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00025-00007459-00007879 Like with most junglers, he'll take the smite flash combo and so will you if you're a jungler. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00026-00007879-00008211 It's much more worth it for you to take the red smite versus him if he's in his blue form, 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00027-00008211-00008438 since he can just cleanse the blue one and take the blue smite if he's in his red form 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00028-00008438-00008564 to gain some distance and prevent him chasing you. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00029-00008564-00008907 Kayn has a few interesting power spikes: 3 is when he'll start ganking, 6 is when he'll 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00030-00008907-00009171 start dealing damage and 9 is when he'll start killing. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00031-00009171-00009482 Finishing up the jungle item and his black cleaver is when he's at his strongest point 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00032-00009482-00009646 in regard to the rest of the players. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00033-00009646-00009879 His next power spike is obvious and it comes from his transformation, which will make him 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00034-00009879-00009979 start playing rather differently. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00035-00009979-00010260 He's strongest in the mid to late game when he can really delete and focus whoever he 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00036-00010260-00010360 wants in any form. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00037-00010360-00010689 Thank you for tuning in, good luck in your match and remember: Ward behind terrain if 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00038-00010689-00011036 you're a laner, don't panic when he's infested you since you have 2 seconds to think about 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00039-00011036-00011413 what to do and understand that he'll go for anyone in his red form but will take his time 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00040-00011413-00011786 to bring him down, and becomes restricted to squishies in his blue form but will KO 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00041-00011786-00011886 them quick. 0ad5Z7gDHWQ-00042-00011886-00011996 Ultimately just have fun doing it. 0aJZaQg219o-00000-00000088-00000640 Hello Guys I'm Going To Show You How To Solve A Rubik's Cube Okay You See Here.

Windward is the side that faces the prevailing 0ijY_aDEiWM-00004-00002568-00003288 wind direction which also means facing the prevailing wave direction. And you can see that 0ijY_aDEiWM-00005-00003288-00003846 we're developing during the TST an asymmetry hereon this isolated system. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00006-00003846-00004110 And this asymmetry comesfrom the fact that 0ijY_aDEiWM-00007-00004110-00004686 in the windward side, we havethe wave crashing on the island clearing sedimentsaway 0ijY_aDEiWM-00008-00004686-00005455 to the back of the island. That gives younice clean waters where reefs will preferentiallygrow. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00009-00005455-00005960 So reef will tend to grow more on the windward side. So they will grow on that side 0ijY_aDEiWM-00010-00005960-00006528 and they will protect the back of the island and in the very back, in the leeward side, will tend to 0ijY_aDEiWM-00011-00006528-00006848 have more sand because it's more turbid 0ijY_aDEiWM-00012-00006848-00007445 and thesediments are moved from the windward side to theleeward margin of the island. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00013-00007445-00007895 So that asymmetry is an important concept for isolated platforms. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00014-00007992-00008808 And of course as the base level is rising, we tend to cover the the previous lowstand deposits and 0ijY_aDEiWM-00015-00008808-00009520 here, I think this is a an amazing image personally but you see a former sinkhole that dates from 0ijY_aDEiWM-00016-00009520-00010325 the previous lowstand that was lower thansea level is today and it's now basically beingreflooded. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00017-00010325-00010976 So now there's water on top of it and what's really cool is that this sinkhole acts as 0ijY_aDEiWM-00018-00010976-00011584 a trap for sediment. So you see the prevailing wind current here comes from the right to the left and 0ijY_aDEiWM-00019-00011584-00012248 on the right side of the sinkhole there is just sand, there is no reef but on the left side of the 0ijY_aDEiWM-00020-00012248-00012928 sinkhole you have seagrass meadows and you also have some reef that starts to develop because the 0ijY_aDEiWM-00021-00012928-00013616 sinkhole acts as a trap for sediments. As you can see on the right image here: the bathymetry image. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00022-00013616-00014352 And this is really a good illustration of how on the small scale this whole thing is about, you 0ijY_aDEiWM-00023-00014352-00014919 know, three kilometer, the whole image. On a small scale how these different pillar topography can 0ijY_aDEiWM-00024-00014919-00015125 impact what type of carbonate grows where. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00025-00015125-00015486 Becausethe corals only grow on this side of the sinkhole 0ijY_aDEiWM-00026-00015488-00015824 thanks to the fact that there's lesssediment. So the waters are more clear. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00027-00016040-00016632 And i mentioned that in the leeward side we tend to have more sandy deposits. So typically you 0ijY_aDEiWM-00028-00016632-00017320 will have either skeletal sand or you can have ooidal sand but yes you will tend to have more 0ijY_aDEiWM-00029-00017320-00017912 of a sand type of deposit. These can be great reservoirs but it's good to know where those 0ijY_aDEiWM-00030-00017912-00018616 prevailing wind direction are because that could imply some heterogeneity 0ijY_aDEiWM-00031-00018616-00019105 but also some asymmetry in where your different deposits are. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00032-00019105-00019325 Okay! Now what happened during the highstand tract? 0ijY_aDEiWM-00033-00019325-00019840 Remember the highstand tract iswhen we have the the majority of sedimentation on 0ijY_aDEiWM-00034-00019840-00020392 those platform in the T factory, no exception here with isolated platform, of course. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00035-00020392-00020771 And basically the asymmetry that we've seen 0ijY_aDEiWM-00036-00020771-00020946 developing during the TST is becoming evenstronger. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00037-00021110-00021728 We have more grand shoals on the leewardside and we have much more better developed reef 0ijY_aDEiWM-00038-00021728-00022320 on the windward side. A good analog for highstand, especially high stand higher than today 0ijY_aDEiWM-00039-00022320-00023161 is isotopic stage 5 and 5e in particular where sea level was higher by about 1-2 meter, 0ijY_aDEiWM-00040-00023161-00023904 compared to today, up to maybe 6 meters at the end of 5e. And the temperatures were 0ijY_aDEiWM-00041-00023904-00024528 about 1-2 degrees higher. And if you look at these 5e, there's been some studies done: 0ijY_aDEiWM-00042-00024528-00025120 it's actually a bit of a chilling perspective on what could happen to isolated platform during 0ijY_aDEiWM-00043-00025120-00025291 highstands that are higher than today. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00044-00025291-00025873 So rememberwe have those grain shoals here in the back and ifyou look at 5e grain shoal 0ijY_aDEiWM-00045-00025873-00026448 in The Bahamas and in Bermuda, you see those, first of all you see 0ijY_aDEiWM-00046-00026448-00027136 a trilogy of deposits and one of the end member of that trilogy is essentially storm deposits. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00047-00027136-00028285 So those big cross-stratified aeolian and oolitic sand, so that's calcareous aeolian sand that basically formed dune. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00048-00028285-00028880 And that happens inthe lowland during stage 5e during, the relativesea level high. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00049-00028880-00029510 And their storm deposit,there's all the evidence for that in the dunesthemselves. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00050-00029510-00030138 But if you look at cliffs that areslightly higher, so about 15 meters higher thansea level, 0ijY_aDEiWM-00051-00030138-00031128 what you see is evidence for boulder size cliff rocks being eroded and transportedby mega waves. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00052-00031128-00031648 So we have evidence for mega stormduring 5e. Much much stronger than what we seetoday. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00053-00031648-00032314 And here are some photos. By the way this wasall published in a paper by Hearty and Tormey in2017, 0ijY_aDEiWM-00054-00032314-00032816 if you're interested to check it. And you can see those boulders are gigantic and they were all 0ijY_aDEiWM-00055-00032816-00033592 transported by storm away from high cliffs. Here's another example: I'll point you to 0ijY_aDEiWM-00056-00033592-00034241 the size of the man here next to theboulder, look at the size of those boulders: absolutely gigantic! 0ijY_aDEiWM-00057-00034241-00034912 And if you go towards higherground where only the most strong storm could come, 0ijY_aDEiWM-00058-00034912-00035416 where you have for instance aeolian deposits, so you already have a bit of topography 0ijY_aDEiWM-00059-00035416-00036023 on top of those you even have evidence for sands being shifted and transported during storm. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00060-00036023-00036166 So themessage here is that: 0ijY_aDEiWM-00061-00036166-00036641 during stage 5e which mightbe a good analogue for what awaits us. So you know 0ijY_aDEiWM-00062-00036641-00037015 So you know a few meters of sea level higher than today 0ijY_aDEiWM-00063-00037015-00037448 anda couple of degrees of global temperature higher. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00064-00037448-00038426 We have evidence for megastorms that produce those big ripples and and thoseboulder transport. 0ijY_aDEiWM-00065-00038426-00038983 And that's not a great news if you're living on an isolated platform, forinstance 0ijY_aDEiWM-00066-00038983-00040552 if you're a resident in The Bahamas or in The Maldives, this is actually pretty bad news. 0jwWXETW81Q-00000-00000006-00000468 Man I was blown a bit, extreme ly blown away what you said that now that you 0jwWXETW81Q-00001-00000468-00000788 have a leadership development company disguised as a home security business 0jwWXETW81Q-00002-00000788-00001506 which is how every business should look at themselves. 0jwWXETW81Q-00003-00001506-00002093 Dividing your life into four areas is as old as the Sun. It's just whatever kind of lens that you look at 0jwWXETW81Q-00004-00002093-00002660 it, the way we look at it, we put together a process we call life goals and and I 0jwWXETW81Q-00005-00002660-00003254 coach our agents the ones that want to participate, "L" for life is love which is 0jwWXETW81Q-00006-00003254-00003768 relationships, "I" is influence which is the mind, "F" is Finance which is business and 0jwWXETW81Q-00007-00003768-00004196 then "E" is energy which is the body. And I take all of our agents that want to 0jwWXETW81Q-00008-00004196-00004719 participate into and through a coaching process where we set three 90-day goals 0jwWXETW81Q-00009-00004719-00005048 for each of those four areas. So For the people that come on board with our 0jwWXETW81Q-00010-00005048-00005526 company, over these next few months, which we know will be many of you that are 0jwWXETW81Q-00011-00005526-00006062 watching this, we know that taking you through this process will be a life 0jwWXETW81Q-00012-00006062-00006600 changing movement, that will spread across this country, people that are 0jwWXETW81Q-00013-00006600-00007079 winning in all areas of life and now have a career opportunity where they're 0jwWXETW81Q-00014-00007079-00007500 making more money than they've ever made. And when you combine those two winning 0jwWXETW81Q-00015-00007500-00008136 in all four areas and winning it financially to a degree that you've 0jwWXETW81Q-00016-00008136-00008672 never won before, then very interesting things can happen and that's how you can 0jwWXETW81Q-00017-00008672-00009147 absolutely change the world. And the funny thing is over that hour 0jwWXETW81Q-00018-00009147-00009754 accountability call, we talk about business for maybe five minutes, maybe. 0jwWXETW81Q-00019-00009754-00010257 But we ran the numbers, and the ones that are participating in that life goals 0jwWXETW81Q-00020-00010257-00010764 coaching versus the coordinators that we have that aren't,. are doing 26.7% more 0jwWXETW81Q-00021-00010764-00011279 volume. Which in our world equates to about $52,000 more they're making per 0jwWXETW81Q-00022-00011279-00011643 year. And it's not because all of our agents are participating, a lot of our 0jwWXETW81Q-00023-00011643-00012120 top agents aren't, but it's a true testament to the fact that if you're 0jwWXETW81Q-00024-00012120-00012572 winning in all the other areas of your life, that of course your production, of 0jwWXETW81Q-00025-00012572-00012847 course your business, is going to be a byproduct 0jwWXETW81Q-00026-00012847-00013700 of that. What does it mean to be in balance? And to me it's this reality that 0jwWXETW81Q-00027-00013700-00014318 there is no such thing as balance, it's being able to identify the imbalances. 0jwWXETW81Q-00028-00014318-00014845 It's being able to be aware enough to know when certain areas are out of 0jwWXETW81Q-00029-00014845-00015316 balance. Being aware to know when you need to spend more time with your family, 0jwWXETW81Q-00030-00015316-00015745 when you need to spend more time at work, when you need to spend more time on your body, 0jwWXETW81Q-00031-00015745-00016372 when you need to just need to spend more time on your mind. And it's really just this harmony 0jwWXETW81Q-00032-00016372-00016886 of like constantly trying to balance the imbalances, but knowing that you're never 0jwWXETW81Q-00033-00016886-00017254 gonna be in perfect balance, like there's never going to be this perfect work-life 0jwWXETW81Q-00034-00017254-00017932 balance, but just trying to go all-in in all the areas so that you can try to 0jwWXETW81Q-00035-00017932-00018773 maintain the best harmony. But the true, true person that's going all-in in all 0jwWXETW81Q-00036-00018773-00019262 areas understands that that you have to continually level up and continually be 0jwWXETW81Q-00037-00019262-00019701 pushing the boundaries of every single aspect of your life, to become 0jwWXETW81Q-00038-00019701-00020107 extraordinary. 0jYA0-lknhE-00000-00000152-00000656 chapter 1 mental health and mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00001-00000408-00000656 illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00002-00000855-00001384 the objectives for this chapter are to 0jYA0-lknhE-00003-00001063-00001672 discuss the history of psychiatric care 0jYA0-lknhE-00004-00001384-00001727 define mental health and mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00005-00001672-00001911 discuss 0jYA0-lknhE-00006-00001727-00002119 cultural elements that influence 0jYA0-lknhE-00007-00001911-00002351 attitudes towards mental health 0jYA0-lknhE-00008-00002119-00002648 and mental illness identify 0jYA0-lknhE-00009-00002351-00002903 physiological responses to stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00010-00002648-00003088 discuss the concepts of anxiety and 0jYA0-lknhE-00011-00002903-00003415 grief as psychological 0jYA0-lknhE-00012-00003088-00003415 responses to stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00013-00003607-00004015 as you take a few minutes to think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00014-00003784-00004223 the historical overview of 0jYA0-lknhE-00015-00004015-00004400 psychiatric and mental illness one of 0jYA0-lknhE-00016-00004223-00004664 the things that you need to think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00017-00004400-00004887 is that early beliefs um centered on 0jYA0-lknhE-00018-00004664-00004992 mental illness in terms of in evil 0jYA0-lknhE-00019-00004887-00005248 spirits 0jYA0-lknhE-00020-00004992-00005503 or supernatural or magical powers that 0jYA0-lknhE-00021-00005248-00005760 had entered the body and had taken over 0jYA0-lknhE-00022-00005503-00005952 you know and i always um think of this i 0jYA0-lknhE-00023-00005760-00006239 say i think about the movie um 0jYA0-lknhE-00024-00005952-00006447 at the exorcist um and if you've not 0jYA0-lknhE-00025-00006239-00006776 seen the exorcist uh you need to 0jYA0-lknhE-00026-00006447-00007072 to watch it but um it's like 0jYA0-lknhE-00027-00006776-00007176 something possessing the body and that 0jYA0-lknhE-00028-00007072-00007536 is the 0jYA0-lknhE-00029-00007176-00007679 that's the way historically of mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00030-00007536-00007872 individuals who were suffering from 0jYA0-lknhE-00031-00007679-00008088 animal mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00032-00007872-00008240 were looked at they were often beaten 0jYA0-lknhE-00033-00008088-00008536 starved 0jYA0-lknhE-00034-00008240-00008728 tortured um and a lot of this was done 0jYA0-lknhE-00035-00008536-00008824 in the name of purging out the evil 0jYA0-lknhE-00036-00008728-00009088 spirits 0jYA0-lknhE-00037-00008824-00009247 um or trying to get rid of them um they 0jYA0-lknhE-00038-00009088-00009504 used witchcraft on 0jYA0-lknhE-00039-00009247-00009704 individuals um they were burned at the 0jYA0-lknhE-00040-00009504-00009911 stake because they were thought in some 0jYA0-lknhE-00041-00009704-00010215 cases to be witches 0jYA0-lknhE-00042-00009911-00010575 so you know we have to 0jYA0-lknhE-00043-00010215-00010864 we look at this picture and uh you see 0jYA0-lknhE-00044-00010575-00010992 someone you know looks like a child who 0jYA0-lknhE-00045-00010864-00011432 is in a makeshift 0jYA0-lknhE-00046-00010992-00011639 wooden cage or you see a group of um men 0jYA0-lknhE-00047-00011432-00011839 sitting in chairs with one of them that 0jYA0-lknhE-00048-00011639-00012079 has on a straight jacket 0jYA0-lknhE-00049-00011839-00012288 and um you know what do those images 0jYA0-lknhE-00050-00012079-00012528 bring to mind 0jYA0-lknhE-00051-00012288-00012632 if you've ever seen some of the old 0jYA0-lknhE-00052-00012528-00012959 movies 0jYA0-lknhE-00053-00012632-00013240 um in which they were depicted 0jYA0-lknhE-00054-00012959-00013295 individuals with mental illness in their 0jYA0-lknhE-00055-00013240-00013480 um 0jYA0-lknhE-00056-00013295-00013647 you know this might be a picture that 0jYA0-lknhE-00057-00013480-00013863 comes to your mind 0jYA0-lknhE-00058-00013647-00014095 hippocrates associated mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00059-00013863-00014231 with an irregularity in the interaction 0jYA0-lknhE-00060-00014095-00014536 among the four 0jYA0-lknhE-00061-00014231-00014840 humors blood black bile 0jYA0-lknhE-00062-00014536-00015016 yellow bile and phlegm and why is that 0jYA0-lknhE-00063-00014840-00015191 that important because again we're 0jYA0-lknhE-00064-00015016-00015512 thinking it's something 0jYA0-lknhE-00065-00015191-00015847 going on in the body or it's um 0jYA0-lknhE-00066-00015512-00016047 something that has invaded the body then 0jYA0-lknhE-00067-00015847-00016208 during the middle ages on the mentally 0jYA0-lknhE-00068-00016047-00016472 ill were actually sent out 0jYA0-lknhE-00069-00016208-00016576 on the sea on selling boats without 0jYA0-lknhE-00070-00016472-00016920 guidance 0jYA0-lknhE-00071-00016576-00017168 um for their lost rationality 0jYA0-lknhE-00072-00016920-00017384 and they would say that this was this 0jYA0-lknhE-00073-00017168-00017584 was called the ship of fools 0jYA0-lknhE-00074-00017384-00017751 uh and so it's just settlement drift 0jYA0-lknhE-00075-00017584-00018087 kind of 0jYA0-lknhE-00076-00017751-00018320 uh in middle eastern islamic countries 0jYA0-lknhE-00077-00018087-00018495 they began to establish special units or 0jYA0-lknhE-00078-00018320-00018551 general hospitals and these were the 0jYA0-lknhE-00079-00018495-00018912 first 0jYA0-lknhE-00080-00018551-00019120 known um asylums for individuals with 0jYA0-lknhE-00081-00018912-00019320 mental illness and then in colonial 0jYA0-lknhE-00082-00019120-00019415 america mental illness was equated with 0jYA0-lknhE-00083-00019320-00019615 witchcraft 0jYA0-lknhE-00084-00019415-00019831 and again like i said many of these 0jYA0-lknhE-00085-00019615-00020192 individuals were burned at the stake 0jYA0-lknhE-00086-00019831-00020408 um because they felt like they were 0jYA0-lknhE-00087-00020192-00020584 going to do harm to others so let's get 0jYA0-lknhE-00088-00020408-00020920 rid of them 0jYA0-lknhE-00089-00020584-00021231 um there are also you know 0jYA0-lknhE-00090-00020920-00021536 pictures of that that you have probably 0jYA0-lknhE-00091-00021231-00021944 seen that are buildings that are 0jYA0-lknhE-00092-00021536-00022279 cold um stone buildings with tall 0jYA0-lknhE-00093-00021944-00022640 fences around them metal beds 0jYA0-lknhE-00094-00022279-00023008 um with no mattress or a very thin 0jYA0-lknhE-00095-00022640-00023248 mattress um and so sometimes that's 0jYA0-lknhE-00096-00023008-00023328 that's that historical aspect that we 0jYA0-lknhE-00097-00023248-00023768 see 0jYA0-lknhE-00098-00023328-00024136 now we we've we've evolved a little bit 0jYA0-lknhE-00099-00023768-00024448 um you know in our way of thinking 0jYA0-lknhE-00100-00024136-00024728 um and how we treat individuals with 0jYA0-lknhE-00101-00024448-00024928 uh mental illness and so now we're 0jYA0-lknhE-00102-00024728-00025240 treating them on an outpatient 0jYA0-lknhE-00103-00024928-00025456 uh basis we know more about how medicine 0jYA0-lknhE-00104-00025240-00025623 works with those individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00105-00025456-00025832 and so that that's just a little 0jYA0-lknhE-00106-00025623-00026032 historical perspective for you 0jYA0-lknhE-00107-00025832-00026200 but also understand that that's also 0jYA0-lknhE-00108-00026032-00026232 where some culture comes into play that 0jYA0-lknhE-00109-00026200-00026591 we 0jYA0-lknhE-00110-00026232-00026591 we will talk about a little bit later on 0jYA0-lknhE-00111-00026768-00027408 so here you see a picture of um 0jYA0-lknhE-00112-00027136-00027608 benjamin russ and he's often called the 0jYA0-lknhE-00113-00027408-00027895 father of american psychiat 0jYA0-lknhE-00114-00027608-00028008 psychiatry was a physician at a hospital 0jYA0-lknhE-00115-00027895-00028239 initiated the first 0jYA0-lknhE-00116-00028008-00028447 humane treatment of individuals with 0jYA0-lknhE-00117-00028239-00028712 mental illness in the united states 0jYA0-lknhE-00118-00028447-00028752 and the first hospital in america to 0jYA0-lknhE-00119-00028712-00029047 admit 0jYA0-lknhE-00120-00028752-00029247 individuals uh with mental illness was 0jYA0-lknhE-00121-00029047-00029632 established in philadelphia 0jYA0-lknhE-00122-00029247-00029727 in uh the mid-century of the mid-18th 0jYA0-lknhE-00123-00029632-00030008 century 0jYA0-lknhE-00124-00029727-00030144 and then um you know if you're from 0jYA0-lknhE-00125-00030008-00030263 north carolina you're familiar with 0jYA0-lknhE-00126-00030144-00030568 north carolina 0jYA0-lknhE-00127-00030263-00030880 um you'll also know about dorothea dix 0jYA0-lknhE-00128-00030568-00031127 which we'll talk about in just a moment 0jYA0-lknhE-00129-00030880-00031200 so here you see a picture of uh dorothea 0jYA0-lknhE-00130-00031127-00031408 dix 0jYA0-lknhE-00131-00031200-00031624 and uh in the 19th century she was 0jYA0-lknhE-00132-00031408-00031847 successful in lobbying for the first 0jYA0-lknhE-00133-00031624-00032039 for the establishment of state hospitals 0jYA0-lknhE-00134-00031847-00032280 for individuals with mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00135-00032039-00032416 and it's been several years ago now or 0jYA0-lknhE-00136-00032280-00032672 quite a few years ago that 0jYA0-lknhE-00137-00032416-00032816 dorothea dick's hospital in raleigh was 0jYA0-lknhE-00138-00032672-00033160 actually closed down 0jYA0-lknhE-00139-00032816-00033360 but here we see um two individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00140-00033160-00033519 that began to make a difference in the 0jYA0-lknhE-00141-00033360-00033856 life of individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00142-00033519-00034152 with mental illness um benjamin rush 0jYA0-lknhE-00143-00033856-00034256 who um established the humane treatment 0jYA0-lknhE-00144-00034152-00034480 for individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00145-00034256-00034680 and dorothea dicks who established for 0jYA0-lknhE-00146-00034480-00034856 state hospitals for individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00147-00034680-00035088 now that's not to say that there was not 0jYA0-lknhE-00148-00034856-00035432 some mao on treatment that went on 0jYA0-lknhE-00149-00035088-00035688 in facilities uh and and continued 0jYA0-lknhE-00150-00035432-00035800 but these were individuals who were 0jYA0-lknhE-00151-00035688-00036119 trying to make 0jYA0-lknhE-00152-00035800-00036231 uh an effort to make things better for a 0jYA0-lknhE-00153-00036119-00036463 population of 0jYA0-lknhE-00154-00036231-00036703 individuals who you know for a lack of 0jYA0-lknhE-00155-00036463-00037040 better words were misunderstood 0jYA0-lknhE-00156-00036703-00037352 by society because um they just 0jYA0-lknhE-00157-00037040-00037656 weren't considered normal by the 0jYA0-lknhE-00158-00037352-00037840 by most people's standards uh and so 0jYA0-lknhE-00159-00037656-00038056 how to help them that was the important 0jYA0-lknhE-00160-00037840-00038263 thing and that's what um 0jYA0-lknhE-00161-00038056-00038400 this course is all about is learning how 0jYA0-lknhE-00162-00038263-00038768 to help people 0jYA0-lknhE-00163-00038400-00039463 um who have mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00164-00038768-00039719 illnesses in um in their life 0jYA0-lknhE-00165-00039463-00039863 so be remiss if i didn't uh mention 0jYA0-lknhE-00166-00039719-00040144 leonard 0jYA0-lknhE-00167-00039863-00040368 linda richards who is considered the 0jYA0-lknhE-00168-00040144-00040519 first american psychiatric nurse 0jYA0-lknhE-00169-00040368-00040680 she's graduated from new england 0jYA0-lknhE-00170-00040519-00040768 hospital for women and children in 0jYA0-lknhE-00171-00040680-00040984 boston 0jYA0-lknhE-00172-00040768-00041128 she helped establish the first school of 0jYA0-lknhE-00173-00040984-00041328 psychiatric nursing 0jYA0-lknhE-00174-00041128-00041616 at mclean asylum in waverly 0jYA0-lknhE-00175-00041328-00041919 massachusetts in 1882 0jYA0-lknhE-00176-00041616-00042159 however psychiatric nursing was not 0jYA0-lknhE-00177-00041919-00042275 included in the curricula of schools of 0jYA0-lknhE-00178-00042159-00042696 nursing's until 0jYA0-lknhE-00179-00042275-00042984 1955 so from 1882 0jYA0-lknhE-00180-00042696-00043112 um when she established this first 0jYA0-lknhE-00181-00042984-00043424 psychiatric nursing 0jYA0-lknhE-00182-00043112-00043831 um school nursing school 0jYA0-lknhE-00183-00043424-00044056 um it took from 1882 to 1955 0jYA0-lknhE-00184-00043831-00044272 for it to be um included in the 0jYA0-lknhE-00185-00044056-00044575 curricula of nursing programs 0jYA0-lknhE-00186-00044272-00044719 um which is where we are today um and 0jYA0-lknhE-00187-00044575-00044919 still talking about it 0jYA0-lknhE-00188-00044719-00045088 so i want you to think about those 0jYA0-lknhE-00189-00044919-00045184 things because it's important so here we 0jYA0-lknhE-00190-00045088-00045519 have three 0jYA0-lknhE-00191-00045184-00045703 very influential individuals who made a 0jYA0-lknhE-00192-00045519-00046096 difference in the life of 0jYA0-lknhE-00193-00045703-00046096 individuals with psychiatric illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00194-00046288-00046687 before we can begin this chapter there's 0jYA0-lknhE-00195-00046487-00046744 a couple of things i want you to go back 0jYA0-lknhE-00196-00046687-00047000 to 0jYA0-lknhE-00197-00046744-00047144 um from previous courses and think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00198-00047000-00047352 and one of those 0jYA0-lknhE-00199-00047144-00047608 courses is your trans-cultural nursing 0jYA0-lknhE-00200-00047352-00047800 course because it's important for you to 0jYA0-lknhE-00201-00047608-00047968 understand that the concepts of mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00202-00047800-00048175 health and mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00203-00047968-00048336 are culturally defined so they are 0jYA0-lknhE-00204-00048175-00048624 defined by 0jYA0-lknhE-00205-00048336-00048791 the way an individual their values their 0jYA0-lknhE-00206-00048624-00048968 beliefs 0jYA0-lknhE-00207-00048791-00049144 how they were raised the environment 0jYA0-lknhE-00208-00048968-00049512 that they were raised in 0jYA0-lknhE-00209-00049144-00049624 and those things can be um considerable 0jYA0-lknhE-00210-00049512-00049968 when you think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00211-00049624-00050400 tolerance or intolerance to one's 0jYA0-lknhE-00212-00049968-00050552 um culture or belief or value system 0jYA0-lknhE-00213-00050400-00050791 and so that's going to make a difference 0jYA0-lknhE-00214-00050552-00050896 when you when you as the nurse are 0jYA0-lknhE-00215-00050791-00051239 thinking about 0jYA0-lknhE-00216-00050896-00051471 how do i help this client who to um 0jYA0-lknhE-00217-00051239-00051664 sustain their mental health or how do i 0jYA0-lknhE-00218-00051471-00051767 help this client who has a mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00219-00051664-00052255 illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00220-00051767-00052688 um but based on their own culture 0jYA0-lknhE-00221-00052255-00052944 may or may not be reluctant to seek help 0jYA0-lknhE-00222-00052688-00053095 now along with that we also know that 0jYA0-lknhE-00223-00052944-00053351 when individuals are in 0jYA0-lknhE-00224-00053095-00053432 a state of mental health or mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00225-00053351-00053704 illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00226-00053432-00053751 that they uh experience both physical 0jYA0-lknhE-00227-00053704-00054008 and 0jYA0-lknhE-00228-00053751-00054224 psychological responses to stress and so 0jYA0-lknhE-00229-00054008-00054479 we're going to talk about the stress um 0jYA0-lknhE-00230-00054224-00054632 factor a little bit later on but those 0jYA0-lknhE-00231-00054479-00054848 are things that 0jYA0-lknhE-00232-00054632-00055055 you know we can we can touch on right 0jYA0-lknhE-00233-00054848-00055272 now when you think about stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00234-00055055-00055408 think about maybe a level of anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00235-00055272-00055591 that somebody 0jYA0-lknhE-00236-00055408-00055720 is having and that's one of the things 0jYA0-lknhE-00237-00055591-00056000 that we're going to talk about 0jYA0-lknhE-00238-00055720-00056083 it's also going to look at um the 0jYA0-lknhE-00239-00056000-00056424 concepts 0jYA0-lknhE-00240-00056083-00056583 of grief along with that so we'll we'll 0jYA0-lknhE-00241-00056424-00056824 discuss that as we move through the 0jYA0-lknhE-00242-00056583-00056824 chapter 0jYA0-lknhE-00243-00056904-00057239 so here we go here you see this uh 0jYA0-lknhE-00244-00057136-00057424 concept of 0jYA0-lknhE-00245-00057239-00057608 mental health that's identified by 0jYA0-lknhE-00246-00057424-00057800 maslow's hierarchy of need 0jYA0-lknhE-00247-00057608-00058032 and as i just talked about that 0jYA0-lknhE-00248-00057800-00058327 fulfillment or that need to 0jYA0-lknhE-00249-00058032-00058591 or desire to reach self-actualization as 0jYA0-lknhE-00250-00058327-00058744 a fulfillment of one's highest potential 0jYA0-lknhE-00251-00058591-00058936 and that's what you know technically 0jYA0-lknhE-00252-00058744-00059224 that's what we're all striving for 0jYA0-lknhE-00253-00058936-00059344 is to be the best that we can be um and 0jYA0-lknhE-00254-00059224-00059655 to move 0jYA0-lknhE-00255-00059344-00059879 from the level of 0jYA0-lknhE-00256-00059655-00060032 physiological needs are those basic 0jYA0-lknhE-00257-00059879-00060312 physiological needs 0jYA0-lknhE-00258-00060032-00060632 to move towards self-actualization where 0jYA0-lknhE-00259-00060312-00060632 you feel like you have 0jYA0-lknhE-00260-00060712-00061055 reached the highest point on the 0jYA0-lknhE-00261-00060936-00061407 pendulum 0jYA0-lknhE-00262-00061055-00061800 and you were able to do um 0jYA0-lknhE-00263-00061407-00062016 feel fulfilled in everything that you do 0jYA0-lknhE-00264-00061800-00062176 so again we're going back to this mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00265-00062016-00062264 health definition you can see it's going 0jYA0-lknhE-00266-00062176-00062560 to be important 0jYA0-lknhE-00267-00062264-00062800 it's the successful adaptation to 0jYA0-lknhE-00268-00062560-00062879 stressors from the internal and external 0jYA0-lknhE-00269-00062800-00063104 environment 0jYA0-lknhE-00270-00062879-00063204 it's evidenced by thoughts feelings and 0jYA0-lknhE-00271-00063104-00063495 behaviors that are 0jYA0-lknhE-00272-00063204-00063624 age-appropriate and congruent with local 0jYA0-lknhE-00273-00063495-00063944 and cultural norms 0jYA0-lknhE-00274-00063624-00064055 so what does it mean to be successfully 0jYA0-lknhE-00275-00063944-00064344 adapted 0jYA0-lknhE-00276-00064055-00064455 um those are things that you begin to 0jYA0-lknhE-00277-00064344-00064760 think about and you say 0jYA0-lknhE-00278-00064455-00065064 hmm how do i know that i have 0jYA0-lknhE-00279-00064760-00065320 adapted into society well or 0jYA0-lknhE-00280-00065064-00065648 or i've successfully adapted so does 0jYA0-lknhE-00281-00065320-00065648 that mean that you are 0jYA0-lknhE-00282-00065727-00066400 having thoughts that are um 0jYA0-lknhE-00283-00066072-00066680 in line with the society around you 0jYA0-lknhE-00284-00066400-00066768 does that mean that um there's no 0jYA0-lknhE-00285-00066680-00066968 internal 0jYA0-lknhE-00286-00066768-00067095 struggle you know as nurses we always 0jYA0-lknhE-00287-00066968-00067424 talk about our good 0jYA0-lknhE-00288-00067095-00067607 reaction or how we how we 0jYA0-lknhE-00289-00067424-00067832 feel about something in a certain way or 0jYA0-lknhE-00290-00067607-00067983 we know that there's 0jYA0-lknhE-00291-00067832-00068144 something that's going to happen because 0jYA0-lknhE-00292-00067983-00068320 of this good reaction 0jYA0-lknhE-00293-00068144-00068520 so you think about that successful 0jYA0-lknhE-00294-00068320-00068736 adaptation to stressors 0jYA0-lknhE-00295-00068520-00068904 um remember a few minutes ago i 0jYA0-lknhE-00296-00068736-00069320 mentioned to you about 0jYA0-lknhE-00297-00068904-00069551 grief and grief is a natural process 0jYA0-lknhE-00298-00069320-00069624 that occurs when something happens and 0jYA0-lknhE-00299-00069551-00069768 it is 0jYA0-lknhE-00300-00069624-00069968 you know oftentimes i think we think 0jYA0-lknhE-00301-00069768-00070160 about grief with death and dying 0jYA0-lknhE-00302-00069968-00070312 but that's not it the loss of a job 0jYA0-lknhE-00303-00070160-00070639 causes grief 0jYA0-lknhE-00304-00070312-00070872 um now if i successfully adapt 0jYA0-lknhE-00305-00070639-00071024 to that grief what's going to happen i'm 0jYA0-lknhE-00306-00070872-00071320 trying to give you an example here 0jYA0-lknhE-00307-00071024-00071527 what's going to happen i may be in a 0jYA0-lknhE-00308-00071320-00071863 state of um 0jYA0-lknhE-00309-00071527-00072176 discomfort uneasiness uh 0jYA0-lknhE-00310-00071863-00072527 some might even say depression for a few 0jYA0-lknhE-00311-00072176-00072807 weeks related to the loss of my job 0jYA0-lknhE-00312-00072527-00073000 but do i get to a point that i can say 0jYA0-lknhE-00313-00072807-00073392 i've lost my job 0jYA0-lknhE-00314-00073000-00073632 um you know whatever the reason was 0jYA0-lknhE-00315-00073392-00073872 now i need to move on and i start 0jYA0-lknhE-00316-00073632-00074168 looking for another job 0jYA0-lknhE-00317-00073872-00074288 that would be a normal response for most 0jYA0-lknhE-00318-00074168-00074551 people 0jYA0-lknhE-00319-00074288-00074695 what would be abnormally is you lose 0jYA0-lknhE-00320-00074551-00075048 your job 0jYA0-lknhE-00321-00074695-00075224 and you give up you know you're like 0jYA0-lknhE-00322-00075048-00075383 i can't find another job i'm never going 0jYA0-lknhE-00323-00075224-00075560 to be able to find another job 0jYA0-lknhE-00324-00075383-00075751 so when you start thinking of something 0jYA0-lknhE-00325-00075560-00076056 and that's putting it very simple 0jYA0-lknhE-00326-00075751-00076168 in very simple terms but that would be a 0jYA0-lknhE-00327-00076056-00076407 stressor that 0jYA0-lknhE-00328-00076168-00076495 job loss would be a stressor that then 0jYA0-lknhE-00329-00076407-00076912 has caused 0jYA0-lknhE-00330-00076495-00077160 um feelings that you're not getting over 0jYA0-lknhE-00331-00076912-00077248 and so we now have moved from mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00332-00077160-00077592 health 0jYA0-lknhE-00333-00077248-00077839 which is where you can um 0jYA0-lknhE-00334-00077592-00077960 have feelings that are age-appropriate 0jYA0-lknhE-00335-00077839-00078216 and congruent 0jYA0-lknhE-00336-00077960-00078407 to something that is beginning to look 0jYA0-lknhE-00337-00078216-00078783 like the realm of mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00338-00078407-00078783 which will be on our next slide 0jYA0-lknhE-00339-00078824-00079200 now horowitz um says that there or he 0jYA0-lknhE-00340-00079072-00079504 describes that there are two 0jYA0-lknhE-00341-00079200-00079551 elements that affect um how individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00342-00079504-00079939 feel 0jYA0-lknhE-00343-00079551-00080168 view mental illness one is the comfort 0jYA0-lknhE-00344-00079939-00080392 incomprehensibility is that ability of 0jYA0-lknhE-00345-00080168-00080656 the general population to understand the 0jYA0-lknhE-00346-00080392-00081007 motivation behind a particular behavior 0jYA0-lknhE-00347-00080656-00081336 so almost throw an example out there um 0jYA0-lknhE-00348-00081007-00081639 if you see someone 0jYA0-lknhE-00349-00081336-00081919 acting erratic but you have 0jYA0-lknhE-00350-00081639-00081992 no clue as to why they're acting in that 0jYA0-lknhE-00351-00081919-00082160 manner 0jYA0-lknhE-00352-00081992-00082327 what would you think you know what would 0jYA0-lknhE-00353-00082160-00082480 come to your mind you'd be like 0jYA0-lknhE-00354-00082327-00082656 why in the world is that person acting 0jYA0-lknhE-00355-00082480-00082936 like that um 0jYA0-lknhE-00356-00082656-00083183 or you know if you're a person who's who 0jYA0-lknhE-00357-00082936-00083512 doesn't know anyone who's ever had a 0jYA0-lknhE-00358-00083183-00083616 substance abuse problem um you know you 0jYA0-lknhE-00359-00083512-00083856 may say 0jYA0-lknhE-00360-00083616-00083960 why in the world would they choose drugs 0jYA0-lknhE-00361-00083856-00084332 you know if you 0jYA0-lknhE-00362-00083960-00084672 it may be a hard concept so that's that 0jYA0-lknhE-00363-00084332-00084848 incomprehensibility is you know 0jYA0-lknhE-00364-00084672-00084992 i can't understand why somebody would 0jYA0-lknhE-00365-00084848-00085136 choose to go down the path that they 0jYA0-lknhE-00366-00084992-00085448 choose to go down to 0jYA0-lknhE-00367-00085136-00085519 go down and then you the other concept 0jYA0-lknhE-00368-00085448-00085727 of that is 0jYA0-lknhE-00369-00085519-00085992 cultural relativity and that's the 0jYA0-lknhE-00370-00085727-00086256 normality of behavior is determined by 0jYA0-lknhE-00371-00085992-00086416 culture so there are things that i'm 0jYA0-lknhE-00372-00086256-00086632 sure that if you go back and think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00373-00086416-00086888 your trans cultural nursing class 0jYA0-lknhE-00374-00086632-00087063 that um when you were studying different 0jYA0-lknhE-00375-00086888-00087448 cultures you were like 0jYA0-lknhE-00376-00087063-00087760 i can't believe that they do that um 0jYA0-lknhE-00377-00087448-00087839 for example and this has nothing really 0jYA0-lknhE-00378-00087760-00088048 to do with the 0jYA0-lknhE-00379-00087839-00088200 mental illness side but i'm gonna throw 0jYA0-lknhE-00380-00088048-00088560 this example out there is 0jYA0-lknhE-00381-00088200-00088880 um that there are cultures that 0jYA0-lknhE-00382-00088560-00089127 in western society we typically will 0jYA0-lknhE-00383-00088880-00089256 a lady has a baby and the placenta is 0jYA0-lknhE-00384-00089127-00089327 discarded and i'm using that because 0jYA0-lknhE-00385-00089256-00089632 y'all just 0jYA0-lknhE-00386-00089327-00089816 finished up ob and pete um but there are 0jYA0-lknhE-00387-00089632-00090000 other cultures where the placenta is 0jYA0-lknhE-00388-00089816-00090207 cooked and ate by the family 0jYA0-lknhE-00389-00090000-00090400 there's other cultures that the placenta 0jYA0-lknhE-00390-00090207-00090736 is actually planted 0jYA0-lknhE-00391-00090400-00091032 um you know in the yard 0jYA0-lknhE-00392-00090736-00091263 or something um because it's supposed to 0jYA0-lknhE-00393-00091032-00091263 bring 0jYA0-lknhE-00394-00091312-00091863 life abundance of life to the family 0jYA0-lknhE-00395-00091719-00092032 so when you start thinking about 0jYA0-lknhE-00396-00091863-00092344 cultural relativity 0jYA0-lknhE-00397-00092032-00092616 um what's normal in one culture may be 0jYA0-lknhE-00398-00092344-00092688 very abnormal in another culture and how 0jYA0-lknhE-00399-00092616-00092960 does that 0jYA0-lknhE-00400-00092688-00093048 tie in them with the view of mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00401-00092960-00093368 illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00402-00093048-00093688 so even individuals seeking 0jYA0-lknhE-00403-00093368-00094024 out women seeking out treatment 0jYA0-lknhE-00404-00093688-00094360 during menopause for hot flashes 0jYA0-lknhE-00405-00094024-00094607 um versus when women who choose 0jYA0-lknhE-00406-00094360-00094792 not to because of a culture believe it's 0jYA0-lknhE-00407-00094607-00094912 you know it's off the men said 0jYA0-lknhE-00408-00094792-00095039 well i mean i'm gonna have to go through 0jYA0-lknhE-00409-00094912-00095200 the change i just gotta learn to deal 0jYA0-lknhE-00410-00095039-00095351 with it that's what my mama didn't need 0jYA0-lknhE-00411-00095200-00095432 you know nobody took any medicine for 0jYA0-lknhE-00412-00095351-00095600 that 0jYA0-lknhE-00413-00095432-00095751 so would you say that that person's 0jYA0-lknhE-00414-00095600-00096024 mentally ill well 0jYA0-lknhE-00415-00095751-00096063 no you probably wouldn't but that brings 0jYA0-lknhE-00416-00096024-00096456 up a 0jYA0-lknhE-00417-00096063-00096719 cultural aspect um 0jYA0-lknhE-00418-00096456-00096800 in native american cultures when people 0jYA0-lknhE-00419-00096719-00097072 talk about having 0jYA0-lknhE-00420-00096800-00097160 visions and hallucinating you know in 0jYA0-lknhE-00421-00097072-00097375 the 0jYA0-lknhE-00422-00097160-00097472 general realm of western society we 0jYA0-lknhE-00423-00097375-00097639 would say that 0jYA0-lknhE-00424-00097472-00097951 someone who's hallucinating or having 0jYA0-lknhE-00425-00097639-00098263 visions is definitely has 0jYA0-lknhE-00426-00097951-00098592 a mental illness going on but for 0jYA0-lknhE-00427-00098263-00098816 that culture um or the 0jYA0-lknhE-00428-00098592-00099056 and that particular group of individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00429-00098816-00099344 that may be something that they look at 0jYA0-lknhE-00430-00099056-00099424 as those visions are actually something 0jYA0-lknhE-00431-00099344-00099648 spiritual 0jYA0-lknhE-00432-00099424-00099832 and very meaningful and so they would 0jYA0-lknhE-00433-00099648-00100192 not see that as a mental 0jYA0-lknhE-00434-00099832-00100392 illness but yet if as we 0jYA0-lknhE-00435-00100192-00100519 uh and as you'll learn this semester 0jYA0-lknhE-00436-00100392-00100736 when we start 0jYA0-lknhE-00437-00100519-00100912 asking people about hearing voices or 0jYA0-lknhE-00438-00100736-00101032 are they seeing things or are they 0jYA0-lknhE-00439-00100912-00101216 hallucinating 0jYA0-lknhE-00440-00101032-00101344 then we start looking at that as what's 0jYA0-lknhE-00441-00101216-00101719 going on with them because there's a 0jYA0-lknhE-00442-00101344-00101719 mental illness concept there 0jYA0-lknhE-00443-00101912-00102239 so how do we define mental uh illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00444-00102168-00102455 well 0jYA0-lknhE-00445-00102239-00102752 another way that is defined is that it's 0jYA0-lknhE-00446-00102455-00102952 a maladaptive response to stressors 0jYA0-lknhE-00447-00102752-00103200 from the internal or external 0jYA0-lknhE-00448-00102952-00103383 environment that's evidenced by thoughts 0jYA0-lknhE-00449-00103200-00103511 feelings and behaviors that are 0jYA0-lknhE-00450-00103383-00103783 incongruent 0jYA0-lknhE-00451-00103511-00103952 with the local and cultural norms and 0jYA0-lknhE-00452-00103783-00104224 interfere with an individual's 0jYA0-lknhE-00453-00103952-00104311 social occupation and or physical 0jYA0-lknhE-00454-00104224-00104631 functioning 0jYA0-lknhE-00455-00104311-00104991 so we can um just think about something 0jYA0-lknhE-00456-00104631-00105232 real simple um substance abuse 0jYA0-lknhE-00457-00104991-00105408 you know you'll hear me because that 0jYA0-lknhE-00458-00105232-00105591 seems to be one that's 0jYA0-lknhE-00459-00105408-00105783 easy for people to understand right off 0jYA0-lknhE-00460-00105591-00106103 hand but when it starts 0jYA0-lknhE-00461-00105783-00106303 affecting your everyday ability to 0jYA0-lknhE-00462-00106103-00106720 interact in society 0jYA0-lknhE-00463-00106303-00107016 or to be considered quote unquote normal 0jYA0-lknhE-00464-00106720-00107079 in society or it interferes with your 0jYA0-lknhE-00465-00107016-00107288 physical 0jYA0-lknhE-00466-00107079-00107544 functioning then we start looking at 0jYA0-lknhE-00467-00107288-00107816 that as it's a maladaptive response 0jYA0-lknhE-00468-00107544-00108024 and there's something not right there 0jYA0-lknhE-00469-00107816-00108191 another maladaptive response 0jYA0-lknhE-00470-00108024-00108320 that we can think about um that we'll 0jYA0-lknhE-00471-00108191-00108400 talk about a little bit later in this 0jYA0-lknhE-00472-00108320-00108720 chapter 0jYA0-lknhE-00473-00108400-00108991 is grief so grief is a very 0jYA0-lknhE-00474-00108720-00109135 normal process the five stages of grief 0jYA0-lknhE-00475-00108991-00109440 are very normal 0jYA0-lknhE-00476-00109135-00109791 at a point when those stages 0jYA0-lknhE-00477-00109440-00109991 um go on for extended periods of time 0jYA0-lknhE-00478-00109791-00110208 then that's when we start looking at 0jYA0-lknhE-00479-00109991-00110544 this is how this individual is having 0jYA0-lknhE-00480-00110208-00110832 a maladaptive response um 0jYA0-lknhE-00481-00110544-00110864 they're in a depressed state possibly 0jYA0-lknhE-00482-00110832-00111135 for 0jYA0-lknhE-00483-00110864-00111240 long periods of time and so when we look 0jYA0-lknhE-00484-00111135-00111424 at that 0jYA0-lknhE-00485-00111240-00111552 that's beginning to look at the realm of 0jYA0-lknhE-00486-00111424-00112032 mental illness 0jYA0-lknhE-00487-00111552-00112032 rather than them being able to cope um 0jYA0-lknhE-00488-00112083-00112583 effectively 0jYA0-lknhE-00489-00112344-00112832 so as we look at the physical response 0jYA0-lknhE-00490-00112583-00113016 to stress that physical response is the 0jYA0-lknhE-00491-00112832-00113320 manifestation by specific 0jYA0-lknhE-00492-00113016-00113600 syndrome which consists of all 0jYA0-lknhE-00493-00113320-00113735 the non-specifically induced changes 0jYA0-lknhE-00494-00113600-00114008 within a biologic 0jYA0-lknhE-00495-00113735-00114159 system so go back to what you learned a 0jYA0-lknhE-00496-00114008-00114396 long time ago 0jYA0-lknhE-00497-00114159-00114640 with your uh when you're studying your 0jYA0-lknhE-00498-00114396-00114859 neurocognitive things 0jYA0-lknhE-00499-00114640-00115128 and you were looking at in 0jYA0-lknhE-00500-00114859-00115224 pathophysiology how the brain reacts to 0jYA0-lknhE-00501-00115128-00115455 certain things 0jYA0-lknhE-00502-00115224-00115648 so we talk about this fight or flight 0jYA0-lknhE-00503-00115455-00115903 syndrome and what does that mean 0jYA0-lknhE-00504-00115648-00116111 that individual when something happens 0jYA0-lknhE-00505-00115903-00116472 some stress response happen 0jYA0-lknhE-00506-00116111-00116808 they either wanna stand up and 0jYA0-lknhE-00507-00116472-00116911 fight or they will want to run away from 0jYA0-lknhE-00508-00116808-00117311 the problem 0jYA0-lknhE-00509-00116911-00117576 and so that is you know that is a normal 0jYA0-lknhE-00510-00117311-00117752 syndrome that happens it's in that fight 0jYA0-lknhE-00511-00117576-00117896 or flight we all have it it comes at 0jYA0-lknhE-00512-00117752-00118224 certain times 0jYA0-lknhE-00513-00117896-00118528 when something's going on um 0jYA0-lknhE-00514-00118224-00118903 i would say an example that 0jYA0-lknhE-00515-00118528-00119167 you might um think about is 0jYA0-lknhE-00516-00118903-00119376 is someone so frightened that they're 0jYA0-lknhE-00517-00119167-00119655 paralyzed and they can't move 0jYA0-lknhE-00518-00119376-00119840 or does it happen so quickly that their 0jYA0-lknhE-00519-00119655-00120167 automatic reaction is to 0jYA0-lknhE-00520-00119840-00120255 run away get away um you know get out of 0jYA0-lknhE-00521-00120167-00120583 danger 0jYA0-lknhE-00522-00120255-00120655 so i can either stand up and face this 0jYA0-lknhE-00523-00120583-00120952 danger 0jYA0-lknhE-00524-00120655-00121048 or i can run away from it and that is 0jYA0-lknhE-00525-00120952-00121432 what happens when 0jYA0-lknhE-00526-00121048-00121615 our bodies become in a state of stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00527-00121432-00121903 so if you continue to think about that 0jYA0-lknhE-00528-00121615-00122015 adaptions adaptation syndrome that fight 0jYA0-lknhE-00529-00121903-00122232 or flight 0jYA0-lknhE-00530-00122015-00122472 um response there are three distinct 0jYA0-lknhE-00531-00122232-00122808 stages there's the alarm reaction 0jYA0-lknhE-00532-00122472-00122903 which is the fight or flight um initial 0jYA0-lknhE-00533-00122808-00123103 response 0jYA0-lknhE-00534-00122903-00123311 then there is the stage of resistance 0jYA0-lknhE-00535-00123103-00123591 and that stage of resistance 0jYA0-lknhE-00536-00123311-00123815 is the first stage is the person's 0jYA0-lknhE-00537-00123591-00124103 attempt to adapt to the stressor 0jYA0-lknhE-00538-00123815-00124320 if this adaptation occurs then stage 0jYA0-lknhE-00539-00124103-00124576 three the stage of exhaustion 0jYA0-lknhE-00540-00124320-00124832 is either prevented or it's delayed and 0jYA0-lknhE-00541-00124576-00125167 so the physiological symptoms may 0jYA0-lknhE-00542-00124832-00125352 go away they may disappear but if that 0jYA0-lknhE-00543-00125167-00125583 doesn't happen then we move into stage 0jYA0-lknhE-00544-00125352-00125800 three which is that state of exhaustion 0jYA0-lknhE-00545-00125583-00125888 and it is where that adaptive energy is 0jYA0-lknhE-00546-00125800-00126232 completely 0jYA0-lknhE-00547-00125888-00126544 depleted and the disease of adaptation 0jYA0-lknhE-00548-00126232-00126688 um must ensure and so what do you think 0jYA0-lknhE-00549-00126544-00126944 is going on there 0jYA0-lknhE-00550-00126688-00127152 that fight or flight is your norepine 0jYA0-lknhE-00551-00126944-00127391 norepinephrine and epinephrine 0jYA0-lknhE-00552-00127152-00127528 response so what would we see in that 0jYA0-lknhE-00553-00127391-00127720 initial reaction 0jYA0-lknhE-00554-00127528-00127896 we may see an increase in respiration 0jYA0-lknhE-00555-00127720-00127959 rate we may see an increase in heart 0jYA0-lknhE-00556-00127896-00128279 rate 0jYA0-lknhE-00557-00127959-00128488 um blood pressure may also um go up if 0jYA0-lknhE-00558-00128279-00128552 that is sustained for long periods of 0jYA0-lknhE-00559-00128488-00128679 time 0jYA0-lknhE-00560-00128552-00128855 then what happens that's when 0jYA0-lknhE-00561-00128679-00129072 glucogenesis occurs 0jYA0-lknhE-00562-00128855-00129272 there's an increased basal metabolic 0jYA0-lknhE-00563-00129072-00129448 rate and there's a decrease in your 0jYA0-lknhE-00564-00129272-00129624 sensations of sex hormones 0jYA0-lknhE-00565-00129448-00129791 so you don't have to go back and i'm not 0jYA0-lknhE-00566-00129624-00129928 spending a lot of time on that because 0jYA0-lknhE-00567-00129791-00130000 you've already had that in previous 0jYA0-lknhE-00568-00129928-00130272 courses 0jYA0-lknhE-00569-00130000-00130511 but think about what's going on with the 0jYA0-lknhE-00570-00130272-00130759 body during those physical responses to 0jYA0-lknhE-00571-00130511-00130759 stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00572-00130911-00131344 so again let's talk a little bit more 0jYA0-lknhE-00573-00131088-00131512 about that fight-or-flight syndrome 0jYA0-lknhE-00574-00131344-00131824 and what's occurring so what might you 0jYA0-lknhE-00575-00131512-00132064 see in that in the immediate response um 0jYA0-lknhE-00576-00131824-00132152 does the person's eyes does their pupils 0jYA0-lknhE-00577-00132064-00132432 dilate 0jYA0-lknhE-00578-00132152-00132615 um is there dilation of the bronicles 0jYA0-lknhE-00579-00132432-00132791 where we have this increased respiration 0jYA0-lknhE-00580-00132615-00133015 that we just talked about 0jYA0-lknhE-00581-00132791-00133112 is there an increased force of cardiac 0jYA0-lknhE-00582-00133015-00133360 contraction 0jYA0-lknhE-00583-00133112-00133472 which causes increased cardiac output 0jYA0-lknhE-00584-00133360-00133584 and the heart rate and the blood 0jYA0-lknhE-00585-00133472-00133776 pressure changes 0jYA0-lknhE-00586-00133584-00133920 and can go up you know does a person 0jYA0-lknhE-00587-00133776-00134120 even begin to talk about the 0jYA0-lknhE-00588-00133920-00134288 feelings of chest tightness and chest 0jYA0-lknhE-00589-00134120-00134608 pain um as 0jYA0-lknhE-00590-00134288-00134855 in in that response um there 0jYA0-lknhE-00591-00134608-00135008 is decreased gastric motility and 0jYA0-lknhE-00592-00134855-00135176 secretions that occur 0jYA0-lknhE-00593-00135008-00135360 so you may begin to see a person 0jYA0-lknhE-00594-00135176-00135472 complaining about some constipation 0jYA0-lknhE-00595-00135360-00135688 going on remember 0jYA0-lknhE-00596-00135472-00135952 we're talking about these physiolog 0jYA0-lknhE-00597-00135688-00136296 physiological responses to stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00598-00135952-00136440 um do they begin to perspire 0jYA0-lknhE-00599-00136296-00136640 you know is there an increase in 0jYA0-lknhE-00600-00136440-00136976 secretion from the sweat glands 0jYA0-lknhE-00601-00136640-00137072 what other responses as you're thinking 0jYA0-lknhE-00602-00136976-00137232 in your reading 0jYA0-lknhE-00603-00137072-00137464 you think you begin to think about what 0jYA0-lknhE-00604-00137232-00137672 you've previously learned 0jYA0-lknhE-00605-00137464-00137815 about that immediate response and that 0jYA0-lknhE-00606-00137672-00138048 sustained response 0jYA0-lknhE-00607-00137815-00138176 with the sustained response on the 0jYA0-lknhE-00608-00138048-00138432 physical responses of 0jYA0-lknhE-00609-00138176-00138684 stress occur after a long period of time 0jYA0-lknhE-00610-00138432-00138976 and that's what we're going to move into 0jYA0-lknhE-00611-00138684-00139208 next so if we see that there's a 0jYA0-lknhE-00612-00138976-00139320 sustained physical response to stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00613-00139208-00139503 that occurs 0jYA0-lknhE-00614-00139320-00139655 because there's been pro a prolonged 0jYA0-lknhE-00615-00139503-00139848 period of stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00616-00139655-00140072 and there's a um promoting 0jYA0-lknhE-00617-00139848-00140344 susceptibility to diseases 0jYA0-lknhE-00618-00140072-00140536 what do we know happens if the body is 0jYA0-lknhE-00619-00140344-00140767 responding to stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00620-00140536-00140840 and it stays that way for long periods 0jYA0-lknhE-00621-00140767-00141064 of time 0jYA0-lknhE-00622-00140840-00141184 do you think that your immune system is 0jYA0-lknhE-00623-00141064-00141408 just decreased 0jYA0-lknhE-00624-00141184-00141600 well we know that there is a decrease in 0jYA0-lknhE-00625-00141408-00142055 the immune system and the inflammatory 0jYA0-lknhE-00626-00141600-00142303 response related to acth 0jYA0-lknhE-00627-00142055-00142479 there is vasopressin that occurs so we 0jYA0-lknhE-00628-00142303-00142800 start building up fluid 0jYA0-lknhE-00629-00142479-00142927 fluid retention there's an increase in 0jYA0-lknhE-00630-00142800-00143215 blood pressure 0jYA0-lknhE-00631-00142927-00143479 um there is an increase in your sharing 0jYA0-lknhE-00632-00143215-00143679 glucose in your fatty acids that occur 0jYA0-lknhE-00633-00143479-00143903 so that growth hormone is beginning to 0jYA0-lknhE-00634-00143679-00144176 affect when you think about your 0jYA0-lknhE-00635-00143903-00144296 increased basal metallic rate you have 0jYA0-lknhE-00636-00144176-00144640 to think about your 0jYA0-lknhE-00637-00144296-00144864 um biotropic hormone responses 0jYA0-lknhE-00638-00144640-00145040 you also need to think about the 0jYA0-lknhE-00639-00144864-00145255 decrease in libido 0jYA0-lknhE-00640-00145040-00145367 so all these things when you're thinking 0jYA0-lknhE-00641-00145255-00145584 about stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00642-00145367-00145744 you may not initially think about those 0jYA0-lknhE-00643-00145584-00146088 physical responses 0jYA0-lknhE-00644-00145744-00146264 other than the the fight piece um 0jYA0-lknhE-00645-00146088-00146408 or the running away the fight or the 0jYA0-lknhE-00646-00146264-00146688 flight piece but 0jYA0-lknhE-00647-00146408-00146760 if that stress occurs for long periods 0jYA0-lknhE-00648-00146688-00146960 of time 0jYA0-lknhE-00649-00146760-00147127 then this body is going to become in a 0jYA0-lknhE-00650-00146960-00147336 weakened state 0jYA0-lknhE-00651-00147127-00147520 and that's where we have to start 0jYA0-lknhE-00652-00147336-00147632 thinking about what else is going on 0jYA0-lknhE-00653-00147520-00147848 with this person 0jYA0-lknhE-00654-00147632-00147944 so the person that i saw in the flight 0jYA0-lknhE-00655-00147848-00148248 mode 0jYA0-lknhE-00656-00147944-00148520 um or fight or flight the fight 0jYA0-lknhE-00657-00148248-00148703 mode is a very different individual than 0jYA0-lknhE-00658-00148520-00149064 i see in a person who 0jYA0-lknhE-00659-00148703-00149272 is responding after extended periods of 0jYA0-lknhE-00660-00149064-00149655 stress is going on with them they look 0jYA0-lknhE-00661-00149272-00149855 different so it's important to 0jYA0-lknhE-00662-00149655-00150064 understand the um 0jYA0-lknhE-00663-00149855-00150320 psychological responses to stress and 0jYA0-lknhE-00664-00150064-00150503 there are two primary psychological 0jYA0-lknhE-00665-00150320-00150712 response patterns to stress and those 0jYA0-lknhE-00666-00150503-00150927 would be anxiety and grief 0jYA0-lknhE-00667-00150712-00151040 and uh it comes in the forms of a 0jYA0-lknhE-00668-00150927-00151160 variety of thoughts 0jYA0-lknhE-00669-00151040-00151391 feelings and behaviors that are 0jYA0-lknhE-00670-00151160-00151544 associated which with each of these 0jYA0-lknhE-00671-00151391-00151815 response patterns 0jYA0-lknhE-00672-00151544-00151912 and then how we adapt uh and our 0jYA0-lknhE-00673-00151815-00152127 adaptation 0jYA0-lknhE-00674-00151912-00152215 is determined by the extent to which the 0jYA0-lknhE-00675-00152127-00152455 thoughts 0jYA0-lknhE-00676-00152215-00152672 feelings and behaviors interfere with an 0jYA0-lknhE-00677-00152455-00152920 individual's ability to function 0jYA0-lknhE-00678-00152672-00153112 and that is to function on a daily basis 0jYA0-lknhE-00679-00152920-00153391 so those are important things to 0jYA0-lknhE-00680-00153112-00153391 be thinking about 0jYA0-lknhE-00681-00153536-00153967 so let's talk for a moment about anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00682-00153767-00154232 anxiety is a feeling of discom 0jYA0-lknhE-00683-00153967-00154288 discomfort and apprehension related to 0jYA0-lknhE-00684-00154232-00154600 fear of 0jYA0-lknhE-00685-00154288-00154944 impending danger the individual may be 0jYA0-lknhE-00686-00154600-00155136 unaware of the source of this anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00687-00154944-00155248 but it's often accompanied by feelings 0jYA0-lknhE-00688-00155136-00155632 of uncertainty 0jYA0-lknhE-00689-00155248-00155712 and helplessness so i'm all um compare 0jYA0-lknhE-00690-00155632-00155960 this to that 0jYA0-lknhE-00691-00155712-00156240 good feeling that we have we know that 0jYA0-lknhE-00692-00155960-00156496 something may not be just right 0jYA0-lknhE-00693-00156240-00156736 and um so you know nurses will say what 0jYA0-lknhE-00694-00156496-00157015 my gut says blah blah blah 0jYA0-lknhE-00695-00156736-00157112 but you can become anxious about that 0jYA0-lknhE-00696-00157015-00157384 because it's 0jYA0-lknhE-00697-00157112-00157455 it's this sense that wait i mean it's 0jYA0-lknhE-00698-00157384-00157720 something just 0jYA0-lknhE-00699-00157455-00157808 as a kosher here and so you become 0jYA0-lknhE-00700-00157720-00158055 uncertain 0jYA0-lknhE-00701-00157808-00158120 and you feel helpless about what's going 0jYA0-lknhE-00702-00158055-00158415 on 0jYA0-lknhE-00703-00158120-00158512 um anxiety is extremely common in our 0jYA0-lknhE-00704-00158415-00158855 society 0jYA0-lknhE-00705-00158512-00159000 and uh and we see forms from very mild 0jYA0-lknhE-00706-00158855-00159336 anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00707-00159000-00159744 to uh panic attacks um which can be a 0jYA0-lknhE-00708-00159336-00160032 um you know a 0jYA0-lknhE-00709-00159744-00160232 a higher level of a form of anxiety but 0jYA0-lknhE-00710-00160032-00160479 we can go all the way up to severe 0jYA0-lknhE-00711-00160232-00160776 anxiety and severe anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00712-00160479-00160936 then extends to periods um for longer 0jYA0-lknhE-00713-00160776-00161248 periods of time 0jYA0-lknhE-00714-00160936-00161367 so we're starting off with a mild 0jYA0-lknhE-00715-00161248-00161679 anxiety which is an 0jYA0-lknhE-00716-00161367-00161872 adaptive is adaptive and can provide uh 0jYA0-lknhE-00717-00161679-00162055 motivation for survival so that's where 0jYA0-lknhE-00718-00161872-00162320 that mild anxiety comes from that's a 0jYA0-lknhE-00719-00162055-00162320 good thing 0jYA0-lknhE-00720-00162352-00162760 so when we think about pablo's four 0jYA0-lknhE-00721-00162615-00163008 levels of anxiety there's 0jYA0-lknhE-00722-00162760-00163072 mild that's seldom you have a problem 0jYA0-lknhE-00723-00163008-00163376 with it 0jYA0-lknhE-00724-00163072-00163679 there's moderate anxiety which is this 0jYA0-lknhE-00725-00163376-00163896 perceptual feel begins to diminish 0jYA0-lknhE-00726-00163679-00164112 there's severe anxiety where the 0jYA0-lknhE-00727-00163896-00164288 perceptual field diminishes greatly 0jYA0-lknhE-00728-00164112-00164512 and there's there's that panic state 0jYA0-lknhE-00729-00164288-00164760 which is the most intense state 0jYA0-lknhE-00730-00164512-00164912 and with panic anxiety the individual is 0jYA0-lknhE-00731-00164760-00165167 unable to focus 0jYA0-lknhE-00732-00164912-00165255 on even one detail within their 0jYA0-lknhE-00733-00165167-00165515 environment 0jYA0-lknhE-00734-00165255-00165639 they have misconceptions uh 0jYA0-lknhE-00735-00165515-00165864 misinterpretations 0jYA0-lknhE-00736-00165639-00166000 are common they have a loss of contact 0jYA0-lknhE-00737-00165864-00166272 with reality that can 0jYA0-lknhE-00738-00166000-00166439 occur this is also where we may get into 0jYA0-lknhE-00739-00166272-00166736 some hallucination 0jYA0-lknhE-00740-00166439-00166936 or delusions that may be present uh the 0jYA0-lknhE-00741-00166736-00167224 behavior can be characterized as 0jYA0-lknhE-00742-00166936-00167312 wild and desperate um their actions 0jYA0-lknhE-00743-00167224-00167615 become very 0jYA0-lknhE-00744-00167312-00167815 extreme they can withdraw when you think 0jYA0-lknhE-00745-00167615-00168024 about the human functioning pattern and 0jYA0-lknhE-00746-00167815-00168279 their communication 0jYA0-lknhE-00747-00168024-00168496 these often become ineffective the 0jYA0-lknhE-00748-00168279-00168727 individual may be convinced that they 0jYA0-lknhE-00749-00168496-00168960 have a life-threatening illness or their 0jYA0-lknhE-00750-00168727-00169032 fear that they're going crazy or there's 0jYA0-lknhE-00751-00168960-00169320 this 0jYA0-lknhE-00752-00169032-00169520 feeling of loss of total control um 0jYA0-lknhE-00753-00169320-00169832 they're emotionally weaked 0jYA0-lknhE-00754-00169520-00170112 prolonged panic anxiety can lead to both 0jYA0-lknhE-00755-00169832-00170184 physical and emotional exhaustion 0jYA0-lknhE-00756-00170112-00170464 exhaustion 0jYA0-lknhE-00757-00170184-00170560 and can be life threatening again hear 0jYA0-lknhE-00758-00170464-00170976 me there 0jYA0-lknhE-00759-00170560-00171312 prolonged panic anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00760-00170976-00171608 can be life threatening you 0jYA0-lknhE-00761-00171312-00171736 vote you wear yourself out both 0jYA0-lknhE-00762-00171608-00172072 physically 0jYA0-lknhE-00763-00171736-00172303 and emotionally i would know that 0jYA0-lknhE-00764-00172072-00172584 i would know that for uh even for 0jYA0-lknhE-00765-00172303-00172584 testing purposes 0jYA0-lknhE-00766-00172655-00172984 so as we talk about anxiety we have to 0jYA0-lknhE-00767-00172903-00173327 talk about 0jYA0-lknhE-00768-00172984-00173503 how we adapt on to the levels of anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00769-00173327-00173760 and so if you think about at the mild 0jYA0-lknhE-00770-00173503-00173815 level in the individual can employ a 0jYA0-lknhE-00771-00173760-00174064 variety 0jYA0-lknhE-00772-00173815-00174312 of coping mechanisms to deal with stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00773-00174064-00174624 a few of these including mine 0jYA0-lknhE-00774-00174312-00174976 is eating so we have people that become 0jYA0-lknhE-00775-00174624-00175248 anxious and they eat um and 0jYA0-lknhE-00776-00174976-00175415 they may go on almost like binges of 0jYA0-lknhE-00777-00175248-00175615 eating you know they eat 0jYA0-lknhE-00778-00175415-00175720 and they really don't even realize how 0jYA0-lknhE-00779-00175615-00175967 much they're eating 0jYA0-lknhE-00780-00175720-00176079 um there are people that will drink 0jYA0-lknhE-00781-00175967-00176320 they're people that 0jYA0-lknhE-00782-00176079-00176624 will sleep for long periods of time 0jYA0-lknhE-00783-00176320-00176791 there are people that cope with anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00784-00176624-00176960 the mild form of anxiety through 0jYA0-lknhE-00785-00176791-00177191 physical exercise 0jYA0-lknhE-00786-00176960-00177279 and so when we're looking at it from a 0jYA0-lknhE-00787-00177191-00177600 mild 0jYA0-lknhE-00788-00177279-00177855 standpoint um these coping mechanisms 0jYA0-lknhE-00789-00177600-00178055 can be small now we're not talking about 0jYA0-lknhE-00790-00177855-00178144 you know i laughed and said eating that 0jYA0-lknhE-00791-00178055-00178367 would be me 0jYA0-lknhE-00792-00178144-00178591 we're not talking about eating to the 0jYA0-lknhE-00793-00178367-00178896 point that you make yourself sick 0jYA0-lknhE-00794-00178591-00179008 um but people eat because of an 0jYA0-lknhE-00795-00178896-00179224 emotional 0jYA0-lknhE-00796-00179008-00179327 there's an emotional tie that may be 0jYA0-lknhE-00797-00179224-00179703 there food 0jYA0-lknhE-00798-00179327-00180008 can be comforting to someone um 0jYA0-lknhE-00799-00179703-00180136 you know of course drinking um and we 0jYA0-lknhE-00800-00180008-00180288 don't we're not talking about drinking 0jYA0-lknhE-00801-00180136-00180591 to excess 0jYA0-lknhE-00802-00180288-00181000 um other things that people can do is 0jYA0-lknhE-00803-00180591-00181239 um snapping their fingers or um 0jYA0-lknhE-00804-00181000-00181448 i didn't realize it for a long time 0jYA0-lknhE-00805-00181239-00181527 until i had a colleague at work tell me 0jYA0-lknhE-00806-00181448-00181703 one time 0jYA0-lknhE-00807-00181527-00181879 she said you're driving me crazy with 0jYA0-lknhE-00808-00181703-00181976 that pen and i wouldn't even realize 0jYA0-lknhE-00809-00181879-00182127 that i was doing it 0jYA0-lknhE-00810-00181976-00182327 but i would be clicking i would be 0jYA0-lknhE-00811-00182127-00182503 sitting and clicking the pen 0jYA0-lknhE-00812-00182327-00182679 you know just clicking it up and down up 0jYA0-lknhE-00813-00182503-00182848 and down up and down and she said oh my 0jYA0-lknhE-00814-00182679-00183024 god it's driving me crazy and it wasn't 0jYA0-lknhE-00815-00182848-00183272 until she pointed it out to me 0jYA0-lknhE-00816-00183024-00183376 that i even realized that i was doing it 0jYA0-lknhE-00817-00183272-00183760 um 0jYA0-lknhE-00818-00183376-00183815 you know stress can be body movements as 0jYA0-lknhE-00819-00183760-00184048 well 0jYA0-lknhE-00820-00183815-00184136 so those are things that you begin to 0jYA0-lknhE-00821-00184048-00184360 think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00822-00184136-00184448 now an important thing is how does those 0jYA0-lknhE-00823-00184360-00184767 coping 0jYA0-lknhE-00824-00184448-00184912 uh behaviors enhance one of one's 0jYA0-lknhE-00825-00184767-00185152 ability to adapt 0jYA0-lknhE-00826-00184912-00185232 to a certain environment or to the to 0jYA0-lknhE-00827-00185152-00185415 the level 0jYA0-lknhE-00828-00185232-00185591 level of anxiety that they're dealing 0jYA0-lknhE-00829-00185415-00185896 with 0jYA0-lknhE-00830-00185591-00186144 so one way a person may um adapt with 0jYA0-lknhE-00831-00185896-00186479 that anxiety or that level of stress 0jYA0-lknhE-00832-00186144-00186784 is the ego defense mechanism and that's 0jYA0-lknhE-00833-00186479-00187127 very common in mild to moderate anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00834-00186784-00187232 and it's it's can include um denial of 0jYA0-lknhE-00835-00187127-00187624 something 0jYA0-lknhE-00836-00187232-00187976 um you know forms of isolation 0jYA0-lknhE-00837-00187624-00188320 sometimes you project um on others 0jYA0-lknhE-00838-00187976-00188415 and those things are fairly common for 0jYA0-lknhE-00839-00188320-00188600 us to do 0jYA0-lknhE-00840-00188415-00188791 and it's at that mild to moderate level 0jYA0-lknhE-00841-00188600-00189144 that the strength of the ego is actually 0jYA0-lknhE-00842-00188791-00189200 tested um remember that our ego defense 0jYA0-lknhE-00843-00189144-00189391 mechanism 0jYA0-lknhE-00844-00189200-00189600 and you should learn this way back in 0jYA0-lknhE-00845-00189391-00189815 studying ericsson 0jYA0-lknhE-00846-00189600-00189903 and stages of development and those kind 0jYA0-lknhE-00847-00189815-00190320 of things 0jYA0-lknhE-00848-00189903-00190655 um was that we employ these 0jYA0-lknhE-00849-00190320-00190736 for some form of protection for 0jYA0-lknhE-00850-00190655-00191015 ourselves 0jYA0-lknhE-00851-00190736-00191200 okay and so you may actually see on 0jYA0-lknhE-00852-00191015-00191432 these mechanisms when you're 0jYA0-lknhE-00853-00191200-00191615 observing in the clinical setting um 0jYA0-lknhE-00854-00191432-00191703 with your classmates with family or 0jYA0-lknhE-00855-00191615-00192015 friends 0jYA0-lknhE-00856-00191703-00192327 um and so you begin to think about 0jYA0-lknhE-00857-00192015-00192639 well why is this important why is this 0jYA0-lknhE-00858-00192327-00192927 this particular defense mechanism um the 0jYA0-lknhE-00859-00192639-00193224 mechanism that that individual is using 0jYA0-lknhE-00860-00192927-00193303 and you know how did how are they 0jYA0-lknhE-00861-00193224-00193712 adapting 0jYA0-lknhE-00862-00193303-00193712 um on a everyday basis 0jYA0-lknhE-00863-00193936-00194279 so here we go if you look at the ego 0jYA0-lknhE-00864-00194103-00194400 defense mechanisms um there's 0jYA0-lknhE-00865-00194279-00194584 compensation 0jYA0-lknhE-00866-00194400-00194791 there's denial there's displacement 0jYA0-lknhE-00867-00194584-00195055 there's identification 0jYA0-lknhE-00868-00194791-00195272 you intellectualize something there's 0jYA0-lknhE-00869-00195055-00195464 introjection and isolation 0jYA0-lknhE-00870-00195272-00195576 and or projection that we just talked 0jYA0-lknhE-00871-00195464-00195855 about 0jYA0-lknhE-00872-00195576-00196096 are you rationalizing something is there 0jYA0-lknhE-00873-00195855-00196415 a reaction formation 0jYA0-lknhE-00874-00196096-00196784 do you actually regress and go back to a 0jYA0-lknhE-00875-00196415-00197096 another state uh are you repressing 0jYA0-lknhE-00876-00196784-00197320 feelings um or suppressing 0jYA0-lknhE-00877-00197096-00197432 something you know even suppressing the 0jYA0-lknhE-00878-00197320-00197712 desire to 0jYA0-lknhE-00879-00197432-00197736 act in a certain way and then is there 0jYA0-lknhE-00880-00197712-00198055 an 0jYA0-lknhE-00881-00197736-00198103 undoing of things and so those things 0jYA0-lknhE-00882-00198055-00198344 become 0jYA0-lknhE-00883-00198103-00198512 important as we're thinking about the 0jYA0-lknhE-00884-00198344-00199015 clients that we may 0jYA0-lknhE-00885-00198512-00199296 be seeing um in the clinical setting 0jYA0-lknhE-00886-00199015-00199503 so if you look on page seven in your 0jYA0-lknhE-00887-00199296-00199688 text there is a table there with those 0jYA0-lknhE-00888-00199503-00199912 ego defense mechanisms 0jYA0-lknhE-00889-00199688-00199991 um that you'll want to spend some time 0jYA0-lknhE-00890-00199912-00200296 just 0jYA0-lknhE-00891-00199991-00200448 looking at um and so that you'll have a 0jYA0-lknhE-00892-00200296-00200608 better understand so when you think 0jYA0-lknhE-00893-00200448-00200951 about compensation 0jYA0-lknhE-00894-00200608-00201112 you know um is it covering up a real or 0jYA0-lknhE-00895-00200951-00201400 perceived weakness 0jYA0-lknhE-00896-00201112-00201551 denial do we refuse to acknowledge the 0jYA0-lknhE-00897-00201400-00201848 existence of something 0jYA0-lknhE-00898-00201551-00201936 um displacement are we transferring our 0jYA0-lknhE-00899-00201848-00202224 feelings 0jYA0-lknhE-00900-00201936-00202360 uh onto someone else or targeting 0jYA0-lknhE-00901-00202224-00202584 someone else 0jYA0-lknhE-00902-00202360-00202767 with the intellectualization it's an 0jYA0-lknhE-00903-00202584-00203015 attempt to avoid expressing 0jYA0-lknhE-00904-00202767-00203224 actual emotions associated with 0jYA0-lknhE-00905-00203015-00203576 stressful situations 0jYA0-lknhE-00906-00203224-00203776 um isolation do we separate a thought or 0jYA0-lknhE-00907-00203576-00204079 a memory from a feeling 0jYA0-lknhE-00908-00203776-00204376 tone or emotion projection are you 0jYA0-lknhE-00909-00204079-00204688 attributing that feeling or that impulse 0jYA0-lknhE-00910-00204376-00204807 um that's unacceptable to oneself or to 0jYA0-lknhE-00911-00204688-00205087 another person 0jYA0-lknhE-00912-00204807-00205191 so go over that table re read through 0jYA0-lknhE-00913-00205087-00205359 that table 0jYA0-lknhE-00914-00205191-00205535 um just so that you have a better 0jYA0-lknhE-00915-00205359-00205615 understanding of the ego defense 0jYA0-lknhE-00916-00205535-00205776 mechanisms 0jYA0-lknhE-00917-00205615-00206183 and like i said you should have already 0jYA0-lknhE-00918-00205776-00206183 had that this should be a review for you 0jYA0-lknhE-00919-00206223-00206656 so when anxiety moves to the moderate to 0jYA0-lknhE-00920-00206471-00206880 severe level this is the 0jYA0-lknhE-00921-00206656-00207096 that state of where it remains 0jYA0-lknhE-00922-00206880-00207167 unresolved over an extended period of 0jYA0-lknhE-00923-00207096-00207383 time 0jYA0-lknhE-00924-00207167-00207552 and it can contribute to a number of 0jYA0-lknhE-00925-00207383-00207807 physiological disorders 0jYA0-lknhE-00926-00207552-00208039 remember how we talked about that severe 0jYA0-lknhE-00927-00207807-00208271 anxiety could be life-threatening 0jYA0-lknhE-00928-00208039-00208571 so um go back to that when that's 0jYA0-lknhE-00929-00208271-00208863 extended periods of time you get some 0jYA0-lknhE-00930-00208571-00209048 psychoneurotic responses such as that 0jYA0-lknhE-00931-00208863-00209223 with anxiety disorders 0jYA0-lknhE-00932-00209048-00209407 somatic syndrome disorders or 0jYA0-lknhE-00933-00209223-00209600 dissociative disorders 0jYA0-lknhE-00934-00209407-00209800 some common characters of individuals 0jYA0-lknhE-00935-00209600-00210119 with neurosis include 0jYA0-lknhE-00936-00209800-00210223 they are um they are aware that they are 0jYA0-lknhE-00937-00210119-00210464 feeling 0jYA0-lknhE-00938-00210223-00210671 experiencing the stress they're aware 0jYA0-lknhE-00939-00210464-00211011 that their behaviors are maladaptive 0jYA0-lknhE-00940-00210671-00211359 they're unaware of any possible 0jYA0-lknhE-00941-00211011-00211528 physiological or psychological causes of 0jYA0-lknhE-00942-00211359-00211696 the distress so they're unaware of any 0jYA0-lknhE-00943-00211528-00211800 possible psychological causes of 0jYA0-lknhE-00944-00211696-00212007 distress 0jYA0-lknhE-00945-00211800-00212128 they feel helpless to change their 0jYA0-lknhE-00946-00212007-00212432 situation 0jYA0-lknhE-00947-00212128-00212744 and they experience no loss of contact 0jYA0-lknhE-00948-00212432-00212976 with reality so as this progresses 0jYA0-lknhE-00949-00212744-00213304 remember we're moving from this 0jYA0-lknhE-00950-00212976-00213456 mild um anxiety to moderate to severe 0jYA0-lknhE-00951-00213304-00213656 levels of anxiety 0jYA0-lknhE-00952-00213456-00213807 we can have these things that are going 0jYA0-lknhE-00953-00213656-00213992 on and this 0jYA0-lknhE-00954-00213807-00214128 this is where we start getting into that 0jYA0-lknhE-00955-00213992-00214352 life-threatening 0jYA0-lknhE-00956-00214128-00214640 um situations if we don't get this 0jYA0-lknhE-00957-00214352-00214640 behavior changed 0jYA0-lknhE-00958-00214671-00215104 so you remember earlier we talked about 0jYA0-lknhE-00959-00214848-00215280 that on panic level that can relate to 0jYA0-lknhE-00960-00215104-00215535 those hallucinations 0jYA0-lknhE-00961-00215280-00215783 um those kind of things so we start to 0jYA0-lknhE-00962-00215535-00215856 see some psychosis building again you 0jYA0-lknhE-00963-00215783-00216192 see 0jYA0-lknhE-00964-00215856-00216311 this is now becoming a severe problem 0jYA0-lknhE-00965-00216192-00216559 it's not just 0jYA0-lknhE-00966-00216311-00216623 a mild case of something it's moved to 0jYA0-lknhE-00967-00216559-00216959 um 0jYA0-lknhE-00968-00216623-00217344 a high severity level um 0jYA0-lknhE-00969-00216959-00217664 they exhibit individuals that are in um 0jYA0-lknhE-00970-00217344-00217856 psychosis can exhibit minimal distress 0jYA0-lknhE-00971-00217664-00217992 they're unaware that their behavior is 0jYA0-lknhE-00972-00217856-00218335 even maladaptive 0jYA0-lknhE-00973-00217992-00218423 they're unaware of any um psychological 0jYA0-lknhE-00974-00218335-00218719 problems 0jYA0-lknhE-00975-00218423-00218856 they're they are exhibiting a flight 0jYA0-lknhE-00976-00218719-00219167 from reality 0jYA0-lknhE-00977-00218856-00219207 into less stressful world and one that 0jYA0-lknhE-00978-00219167-00219623 uh 0jYA0-lknhE-00979-00219207-00219864 and a world that is excuse me 0jYA0-lknhE-00980-00219623-00219935 one in which they begin to attempt to 0jYA0-lknhE-00981-00219864-00220167 adapt 0jYA0-lknhE-00982-00219935-00220407 so think about this and say they have 0jYA0-lknhE-00983-00220167-00220496 moved from reality to non-reality and 0jYA0-lknhE-00984-00220407-00220896 they're trying to 0jYA0-lknhE-00985-00220496-00221176 adapt into that non-real state 0jYA0-lknhE-00986-00220896-00221319 so some examples of psychosis would be 0jYA0-lknhE-00987-00221176-00221576 um schizophrenia 0jYA0-lknhE-00988-00221319-00221807 schizoaffective and delusional disorders 0jYA0-lknhE-00989-00221576-00221848 which we will all talk about later um as 0jYA0-lknhE-00990-00221807-00222176 we 0jYA0-lknhE-00991-00221848-00222176 progress through this semester 0jYA0-lknhE-00992-00222200-00222592 so earlier on in the lecture i talked 0jYA0-lknhE-00993-00222423-00222704 about um grief and how we're going to 0jYA0-lknhE-00994-00222592-00222919 talk about grief 0jYA0-lknhE-00995-00222704-00223119 and there's five stages of grief and we 0jYA0-lknhE-00996-00222919-00223376 typically look at kubler-ross 0jYA0-lknhE-00997-00223119-00223496 um five stages of grief that's the most 0jYA0-lknhE-00998-00223376-00223816 common that we see 0jYA0-lknhE-00999-00223496-00223848 denial being um one of those stages now 0jYA0-lknhE-01000-00223816-00224152 we 0jYA0-lknhE-01001-00223848-00224200 we we tend to list them in these one two 0jYA0-lknhE-01002-00224152-00224407 three four 0jYA0-lknhE-01003-00224200-00224623 five order but i just want you to know 0jYA0-lknhE-01004-00224407-00224728 that stages of grief can actually come 0jYA0-lknhE-01005-00224623-00224919 in any order 0jYA0-lknhE-01006-00224728-00225104 so if you think about denial it's the 0jYA0-lknhE-01007-00224919-00225311 stage of disbelief 0jYA0-lknhE-01008-00225104-00225407 in which the reality of loss is not 0jYA0-lknhE-01009-00225311-00225840 acknowledged 0jYA0-lknhE-01010-00225407-00226200 so um let's just say someone who gets a 0jYA0-lknhE-01011-00225840-00226519 diagnosis of cancer um and 0jYA0-lknhE-01012-00226200-00226816 everything's clear you know it's very 0jYA0-lknhE-01013-00226519-00227088 evident that the cancer is there but yet 0jYA0-lknhE-01014-00226816-00227152 they are denying that they have it they 0jYA0-lknhE-01015-00227088-00227383 don't want to 0jYA0-lknhE-01016-00227152-00227544 face that reality so they're in that 0jYA0-lknhE-01017-00227383-00227864 stage of denial 0jYA0-lknhE-01018-00227544-00228192 uh then there comes a stage of anger 0jYA0-lknhE-01019-00227864-00228288 um again like i said these these can be 0jYA0-lknhE-01020-00228192-00228423 mixed up 0jYA0-lknhE-01021-00228288-00228664 they don't have to come in a specific 0jYA0-lknhE-01022-00228423-00228976 order but there's a stage of anger 0jYA0-lknhE-01023-00228664-00229056 um and that's that stage when envy and 0jYA0-lknhE-01024-00228976-00229423 resentment 0jYA0-lknhE-01025-00229056-00229807 take place um so the individual 0jYA0-lknhE-01026-00229423-00229976 is just mad uh mad about what's going on 0jYA0-lknhE-01027-00229807-00230200 then there's that bargaining staging you 0jYA0-lknhE-01028-00229976-00230519 know for years i've i've used this 0jYA0-lknhE-01029-00230200-00230583 um as the example for bargaining lord if 0jYA0-lknhE-01030-00230519-00230792 you'll just 0jYA0-lknhE-01031-00230583-00230896 let me live you know because i was 0jYA0-lknhE-01032-00230792-00231064 talking about cancer 0jYA0-lknhE-01033-00230896-00231271 so lord if you'll just let me live to 0jYA0-lknhE-01034-00231064-00231656 see my child graduate 0jYA0-lknhE-01035-00231271-00232064 um or if i can just do this 0jYA0-lknhE-01036-00231656-00232376 if i can just make it until 0jYA0-lknhE-01037-00232064-00232528 my child is five or my child turns 18 0jYA0-lknhE-01038-00232376-00232696 where i know that they're going to be 0jYA0-lknhE-01039-00232528-00232983 able to take care of themselves 0jYA0-lknhE-01040-00232696-00233080 so now we're we're in this stage of um 0jYA0-lknhE-01041-00232983-00233392 bargaining with 0jYA0-lknhE-01042-00233080-00233800 with somebody typically a higher power 0jYA0-lknhE-01043-00233392-00234144 um we may begin to make promises um 0jYA0-lknhE-01044-00233800-00234416 to try to reverse or postpone this loss 0jYA0-lknhE-01045-00234144-00234544 uh i'll do better you know if you'll let 0jYA0-lknhE-01046-00234416-00234800 this go away 0jYA0-lknhE-01047-00234544-00234944 um then there's that stage of depression 0jYA0-lknhE-01048-00234800-00235000 and you heard me talk a little bit about 0jYA0-lknhE-01049-00234944-00235200 that 0jYA0-lknhE-01050-00235000-00235328 uh and with depression there becomes 0jYA0-lknhE-01051-00235200-00235671 desperation 0jYA0-lknhE-01052-00235328-00235880 and disengagement um that occurs and a 0jYA0-lknhE-01053-00235671-00235928 person is at a loss they they really 0jYA0-lknhE-01054-00235880-00236240 don't 0jYA0-lknhE-01055-00235928-00236416 know what to do um we may see that this 0jYA0-lknhE-01056-00236240-00236576 individual is sleeping for longer 0jYA0-lknhE-01057-00236416-00236711 periods of time 0jYA0-lknhE-01058-00236576-00236935 they don't want to have contact they're 0jYA0-lknhE-01059-00236711-00237144 isolating themselves they're not eating 0jYA0-lknhE-01060-00236935-00237416 like they should those kind of things 0jYA0-lknhE-01061-00237144-00237511 now the final stage the final stage 0jYA0-lknhE-01062-00237416-00237864 irregardless 0jYA0-lknhE-01063-00237511-00238032 is acceptance um and at the point of 0jYA0-lknhE-01064-00237864-00238376 acceptance they have 0jYA0-lknhE-01065-00238032-00238688 um resign themselves 0jYA0-lknhE-01066-00238376-00239064 to recognize that this 0jYA0-lknhE-01067-00238688-00239304 loss is real okay um 0jYA0-lknhE-01068-00239064-00239504 that it's it that it's becoming a 0jYA0-lknhE-01069-00239304-00239864 reality so whatever that 0jYA0-lknhE-01070-00239504-00239864 loss is okay 0jYA0-lknhE-01071-00239983-00240416 so with those stages of grief we have 0jYA0-lknhE-01072-00240176-00240680 what's called anticipatory grief this 0jYA0-lknhE-01073-00240416-00240783 is the grief process before the actual 0jYA0-lknhE-01074-00240680-00241000 loss occurs 0jYA0-lknhE-01075-00240783-00241104 so you're anticipating that something's 0jYA0-lknhE-01076-00241000-00241392 going to happen 0jYA0-lknhE-01077-00241104-00241496 and you already start grieving about it 0jYA0-lknhE-01078-00241392-00241792 the resolution 0jYA0-lknhE-01079-00241496-00241928 is the length of the grief process and 0jYA0-lknhE-01080-00241792-00242176 that is entirely 0jYA0-lknhE-01081-00241928-00242271 individual so how long it takes someone 0jYA0-lknhE-01082-00242176-00242607 to move 0jYA0-lknhE-01083-00242271-00242680 from one um area of resolution to 0jYA0-lknhE-01084-00242607-00242967 another 0jYA0-lknhE-01085-00242680-00243056 is com completely um on an individual 0jYA0-lknhE-01086-00242967-00243280 basis 0jYA0-lknhE-01087-00243056-00243440 it can last from a few weeks to years 0jYA0-lknhE-01088-00243280-00243519 and it's influenced by a number of 0jYA0-lknhE-01089-00243440-00243688 factors so 0jYA0-lknhE-01090-00243519-00244000 what do you think are some factors that 0jYA0-lknhE-01091-00243688-00244248 it might be influenced by 0jYA0-lknhE-01092-00244000-00244480 so let's think about that going back to 0jYA0-lknhE-01093-00244248-00244792 that culture so the cultural could 0jYA0-lknhE-01094-00244480-00245064 um be an uh a factor 0jYA0-lknhE-01095-00244792-00245200 so in some cultures there's a mourning 0jYA0-lknhE-01096-00245064-00245504 process for a widow 0jYA0-lknhE-01097-00245200-00245823 that's a year uh and so they're in 0jYA0-lknhE-01098-00245504-00246000 mourning basically for for a year so 0jYA0-lknhE-01099-00245823-00246271 that could be something that's 0jYA0-lknhE-01100-00246000-00246496 culturally related that we would say oh 0jYA0-lknhE-01101-00246271-00246631 my god that that grief is extended for a 0jYA0-lknhE-01102-00246496-00246928 long period of time 0jYA0-lknhE-01103-00246631-00247167 but for that that individual that's that 0jYA0-lknhE-01104-00246928-00247480 would be a normal process for them 0jYA0-lknhE-01105-00247167-00247744 so um just re recognize that resolution 0jYA0-lknhE-01106-00247480-00247944 is that length of the grief process uh 0jYA0-lknhE-01107-00247744-00248248 and that's based on an individual 0jYA0-lknhE-01108-00247944-00248680 on individuals um 0jYA0-lknhE-01109-00248248-00248928 belief and cultural uh aspects 0jYA0-lknhE-01110-00248680-00249007 so then we have um the experience of 0jYA0-lknhE-01111-00248928-00249216 guilt 0jYA0-lknhE-01112-00249007-00249448 uh guilt for having a love-hate 0jYA0-lknhE-01113-00249216-00249807 relationship with the lost uh 0jYA0-lknhE-01114-00249448-00250064 lot with the lost entity um guilt 0jYA0-lknhE-01115-00249807-00250248 often will lengthen the grieving process 0jYA0-lknhE-01116-00250064-00250544 and so you can think about this 0jYA0-lknhE-01117-00250248-00250592 um i just recently lost my grandmother 0jYA0-lknhE-01118-00250544-00250744 you know 0jYA0-lknhE-01119-00250592-00250919 when i said recently i'm talking about 0jYA0-lknhE-01120-00250744-00251280 in the last two weeks um 0jYA0-lknhE-01121-00250919-00251600 she was 102 years old and uh so it's not 0jYA0-lknhE-01122-00251280-00251871 like death was unexpected at some point 0jYA0-lknhE-01123-00251600-00252071 now she did turn have a turn for the 0jYA0-lknhE-01124-00251871-00252367 worst that was kind of sudden 0jYA0-lknhE-01125-00252071-00252440 so her death was a little bit um sudden 0jYA0-lknhE-01126-00252367-00252800 but 0jYA0-lknhE-01127-00252440-00253240 um you know as i was thinking about this 0jYA0-lknhE-01128-00252800-00253504 process of grief it's 0jYA0-lknhE-01129-00253240-00253631 i have a large family and i have 0jYA0-lknhE-01130-00253504-00253976 grandchildren that 0jYA0-lknhE-01131-00253631-00254280 visited my grandmother uh quite often 0jYA0-lknhE-01132-00253976-00254376 and then we have grandchildren that had 0jYA0-lknhE-01133-00254280-00254680 not seen her 0jYA0-lknhE-01134-00254376-00254880 in probably two years so 0jYA0-lknhE-01135-00254680-00255007 i actually heard one of them at the 0jYA0-lknhE-01136-00254880-00255328 funeral made the statement 0jYA0-lknhE-01137-00255007-00255592 i should have came and saw grandma um 0jYA0-lknhE-01138-00255328-00255680 more often i should have came and saw 0jYA0-lknhE-01139-00255592-00255880 her 0jYA0-lknhE-01140-00255680-00256048 before she got to the point that she 0jYA0-lknhE-01141-00255880-00256231 didn't know who i was 0jYA0-lknhE-01142-00256048-00256392 and so i would take that is there's a 0jYA0-lknhE-01143-00256231-00256488 little bit of guilt going on with that 0jYA0-lknhE-01144-00256392-00256816 individual 0jYA0-lknhE-01145-00256488-00257040 and so the grieving process for them 0jYA0-lknhE-01146-00256816-00257200 may be very different than the grieving 0jYA0-lknhE-01147-00257040-00257464 process for myself 0jYA0-lknhE-01148-00257200-00257704 and so that's just a personal story um 0jYA0-lknhE-01149-00257464-00257944 and you probably each have your own 0jYA0-lknhE-01150-00257704-00258240 personal stories that you can relate to 0jYA0-lknhE-01151-00257944-00258528 but recognizing that you can lengthen 0jYA0-lknhE-01152-00258240-00258719 on this grief process and then again we 0jYA0-lknhE-01153-00258528-00258896 talked about that anticipatory um 0jYA0-lknhE-01154-00258719-00258992 grieving is thought to shorten the grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01155-00258896-00259176 process 0jYA0-lknhE-01156-00258992-00259367 when the loss actually occurs you 0jYA0-lknhE-01157-00259176-00259456 already anticipated that it was going to 0jYA0-lknhE-01158-00259367-00259792 happen 0jYA0-lknhE-01159-00259456-00259944 um you've probably already resolved 0jYA0-lknhE-01160-00259792-00260207 in your mind that this is going to 0jYA0-lknhE-01161-00259944-00260528 happen and so when it does happen 0jYA0-lknhE-01162-00260207-00260631 um your response to it is a little bit 0jYA0-lknhE-01163-00260528-00260840 different and so 0jYA0-lknhE-01164-00260631-00261048 maybe for me you know with my own 0jYA0-lknhE-01165-00260840-00261440 personal story that's where i was 0jYA0-lknhE-01166-00261048-00261744 um it was a an anticipatory 0jYA0-lknhE-01167-00261440-00261919 um thing you know 0jYA0-lknhE-01168-00261744-00262056 my grandma's 102 years old she's not 0jYA0-lknhE-01169-00261919-00262240 going to live forever 0jYA0-lknhE-01170-00262056-00262431 i would personally like for her to 0jYA0-lknhE-01171-00262240-00262688 continue to live on 0jYA0-lknhE-01172-00262431-00262783 but you know the reality of it for me 0jYA0-lknhE-01173-00262688-00263176 was 0jYA0-lknhE-01174-00262783-00263576 um my grief process started 0jYA0-lknhE-01175-00263176-00263735 um the moment that she could no longer 0jYA0-lknhE-01176-00263576-00263976 care for herself the way 0jYA0-lknhE-01177-00263735-00264048 i know she wanted to be able to care for 0jYA0-lknhE-01178-00263976-00264376 herself 0jYA0-lknhE-01179-00264048-00264616 because she was a very independent woman 0jYA0-lknhE-01180-00264376-00264768 and then a woman who was widowed more 0jYA0-lknhE-01181-00264616-00265080 years than she was married 0jYA0-lknhE-01182-00264768-00265352 a woman who husband died 0jYA0-lknhE-01183-00265080-00265472 in his late 40s early 50s i never knew 0jYA0-lknhE-01184-00265352-00265680 my grandfather 0jYA0-lknhE-01185-00265472-00265928 and she raised the whole family by 0jYA0-lknhE-01186-00265680-00266048 herself you know she was left with a 0jYA0-lknhE-01187-00265928-00266352 house full of small 0jYA0-lknhE-01188-00266048-00266711 children um to take care of 0jYA0-lknhE-01189-00266352-00266959 and so she you know was very independent 0jYA0-lknhE-01190-00266711-00267120 so at the time that a couple years ago 0jYA0-lknhE-01191-00266959-00267400 that she had a stroke 0jYA0-lknhE-01192-00267120-00267472 i think my grief process began for me 0jYA0-lknhE-01193-00267400-00267696 then 0jYA0-lknhE-01194-00267472-00267904 because it was like she's not the woman 0jYA0-lknhE-01195-00267696-00268272 that she used to be that i know 0jYA0-lknhE-01196-00267904-00268624 she desires to be and so her 0jYA0-lknhE-01197-00268272-00268935 point of life changed for 0jYA0-lknhE-01198-00268624-00269216 for her and it also changed for me so 0jYA0-lknhE-01199-00268935-00269311 um am i sad that she's gone of course 0jYA0-lknhE-01200-00269216-00269640 you know 0jYA0-lknhE-01201-00269311-00269952 but i don't have guilt in her 0jYA0-lknhE-01202-00269640-00270016 death um because i did what i could for 0jYA0-lknhE-01203-00269952-00270264 her 0jYA0-lknhE-01204-00270016-00270376 i have family members who like i said 0jYA0-lknhE-01205-00270264-00270559 made the statement 0jYA0-lknhE-01206-00270376-00270728 i should have done things differently so 0jYA0-lknhE-01207-00270559-00270776 they had that little piece of guilt 0jYA0-lknhE-01208-00270728-00271088 there 0jYA0-lknhE-01209-00270776-00271272 so again the personal story but um one 0jYA0-lknhE-01210-00271088-00271631 that i think is very relevant 0jYA0-lknhE-01211-00271272-00272120 to understanding um anticipatory grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01212-00271631-00272120 and how we move um through those stages 0jYA0-lknhE-01213-00272176-00272520 so um the length of grief you know i 0jYA0-lknhE-01214-00272431-00272711 talked 0jYA0-lknhE-01215-00272520-00272840 earlier about um you can have 0jYA0-lknhE-01216-00272711-00273080 maladaptive degree 0jYA0-lknhE-01217-00272840-00273159 so the length of grief is a response is 0jYA0-lknhE-01218-00273080-00273328 often 0jYA0-lknhE-01219-00273159-00273576 extended when an individual has 0jYA0-lknhE-01220-00273328-00273800 experienced a number of recent laws 0jYA0-lknhE-01221-00273576-00274000 and when he or she is unable to complete 0jYA0-lknhE-01222-00273800-00274072 one grieving process before another one 0jYA0-lknhE-01223-00274000-00274407 begins 0jYA0-lknhE-01224-00274072-00274552 so let's let's um let's look at 0jYA0-lknhE-01225-00274407-00274728 something that's 0jYA0-lknhE-01226-00274552-00274911 relevant to what's going on today with a 0jYA0-lknhE-01227-00274728-00275088 pandemic so 0jYA0-lknhE-01228-00274911-00275240 um you have an individual who loses 0jYA0-lknhE-01229-00275088-00275496 their job so 0jYA0-lknhE-01230-00275240-00275672 they're in some that you know there is a 0jYA0-lknhE-01231-00275496-00276007 stage of grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01232-00275672-00276248 um that can 0jYA0-lknhE-01233-00276007-00276383 be invoked because of the loss of that 0jYA0-lknhE-01234-00276248-00276568 job because you know it's a loss of 0jYA0-lknhE-01235-00276383-00276688 livelihood how am i going to survive how 0jYA0-lknhE-01236-00276568-00276816 am i going to take care of my family 0jYA0-lknhE-01237-00276688-00277088 those kind of things 0jYA0-lknhE-01238-00276816-00277320 then add to that um the fact that either 0jYA0-lknhE-01239-00277088-00277624 maybe they get sick 0jYA0-lknhE-01240-00277320-00277872 or a family member gets sick um 0jYA0-lknhE-01241-00277624-00278024 from covenanting you know i'm trying to 0jYA0-lknhE-01242-00277872-00278104 use it something that's relevant to 0jYA0-lknhE-01243-00278024-00278464 today 0jYA0-lknhE-01244-00278104-00278752 and so boom here's another loss that's 0jYA0-lknhE-01245-00278464-00278928 happening that's happening for them um 0jYA0-lknhE-01246-00278752-00279128 and it could be that that 0jYA0-lknhE-01247-00278928-00279272 that individual is in the hospital i 0jYA0-lknhE-01248-00279128-00279392 haven't said anything about them dying 0jYA0-lknhE-01249-00279272-00279496 i've just said that they've gotten 0jYA0-lknhE-01250-00279392-00279616 covered 19. 0jYA0-lknhE-01251-00279496-00279831 let's just say they went into the 0jYA0-lknhE-01252-00279616-00279983 hospital while i can't see him i can't 0jYA0-lknhE-01253-00279831-00280104 visit him because of the state that 0jYA0-lknhE-01254-00279983-00280376 we're in right now 0jYA0-lknhE-01255-00280104-00280576 so here's a lot here's another loss and 0jYA0-lknhE-01256-00280376-00280720 now let's just say that that was a 0jYA0-lknhE-01257-00280576-00280872 parent 0jYA0-lknhE-01258-00280720-00281072 of that individual and they were an 0jYA0-lknhE-01259-00280872-00281383 older parent and they died 0jYA0-lknhE-01260-00281072-00281656 because of coven 19. so you can 0jYA0-lknhE-01261-00281383-00281792 see how you have three losses right here 0jYA0-lknhE-01262-00281656-00282064 on top of one another 0jYA0-lknhE-01263-00281792-00282120 that have kind of built up so that 0jYA0-lknhE-01264-00282064-00282400 person 0jYA0-lknhE-01265-00282120-00282648 probably did not get out of one stage of 0jYA0-lknhE-01266-00282400-00282976 those five stages of grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01267-00282648-00283080 um before they moved into another stage 0jYA0-lknhE-01268-00282976-00283320 of grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01269-00283080-00283576 and so those are things that we need to 0jYA0-lknhE-01270-00283320-00283576 think about 0jYA0-lknhE-01271-00283680-00284031 so talk a little bit about the 0jYA0-lknhE-01272-00283807-00284224 resolution of grief processes thought to 0jYA0-lknhE-01273-00284031-00284368 occur when an individual can look back 0jYA0-lknhE-01274-00284224-00284672 on a relationship 0jYA0-lknhE-01275-00284368-00284744 with the lost entity and accept both the 0jYA0-lknhE-01276-00284672-00284872 pleasure 0jYA0-lknhE-01277-00284744-00285072 and the disappointments in that 0jYA0-lknhE-01278-00284872-00285383 association so 0jYA0-lknhE-01279-00285072-00285648 there's good there's bad and you 0jYA0-lknhE-01280-00285383-00285768 can move forward you you see that you 0jYA0-lknhE-01281-00285648-00285952 recognize it 0jYA0-lknhE-01282-00285768-00286168 and uh you move you're able to move 0jYA0-lknhE-01283-00285952-00286264 forward so there's this sense of 0jYA0-lknhE-01284-00286168-00286559 regaining 0jYA0-lknhE-01285-00286264-00286631 um organization there you begin to 0jYA0-lknhE-01286-00286559-00286983 pursue 0jYA0-lknhE-01287-00286631-00287407 new interests pursue new relationships 0jYA0-lknhE-01288-00286983-00287720 um replace or have a preoccupation with 0jYA0-lknhE-01289-00287407-00288016 energy or resolve so if you think about 0jYA0-lknhE-01290-00287720-00288111 resolution in um in the sense of a 0jYA0-lknhE-01291-00288016-00288376 breakup 0jYA0-lknhE-01292-00288111-00288488 um between a husband and wife boyfriend 0jYA0-lknhE-01293-00288376-00288776 and girlfriend 0jYA0-lknhE-01294-00288488-00288840 um there was a grief response to the 0jYA0-lknhE-01295-00288776-00289144 loss 0jYA0-lknhE-01296-00288840-00289368 of that relationship and um 0jYA0-lknhE-01297-00289144-00289448 now the individual in the resolution 0jYA0-lknhE-01298-00289368-00289776 phase 0jYA0-lknhE-01299-00289448-00290120 is moving forward they have moved past 0jYA0-lknhE-01300-00289776-00290424 whatever that um sense of grief was 0jYA0-lknhE-01301-00290120-00290655 to being able to say okay i'm ready to 0jYA0-lknhE-01302-00290424-00290904 to move on i'm ready to move forward and 0jYA0-lknhE-01303-00290655-00291176 so they can develop new relationships 0jYA0-lknhE-01304-00290904-00291272 um or even they can just say you know 0jYA0-lknhE-01305-00291176-00291631 what 0jYA0-lknhE-01306-00291272-00291928 it is what it is um it happened 0jYA0-lknhE-01307-00291631-00292111 i can't turn back the hands of time but 0jYA0-lknhE-01308-00291928-00292448 it's time for me to move forward 0jYA0-lknhE-01309-00292111-00292983 so you're now re beginning to resolve 0jYA0-lknhE-01310-00292448-00292983 um that response 0jYA0-lknhE-01311-00293040-00293392 and then the last thing that we want to 0jYA0-lknhE-01312-00293176-00293528 talk about is that maladaptive grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01313-00293392-00293840 response that i mentioned 0jYA0-lknhE-01314-00293528-00294055 earlier um the prolonged response 0jYA0-lknhE-01315-00293840-00294280 on to grief that's characterized by 0jYA0-lknhE-01316-00294055-00294535 intense preoccupation 0jYA0-lknhE-01317-00294280-00294752 with the lost entity and it a lot a lot 0jYA0-lknhE-01318-00294535-00295111 of times will go on and on and on 0jYA0-lknhE-01319-00294752-00295207 um the le the delayed or inhibited 0jYA0-lknhE-01320-00295111-00295407 response 0jYA0-lknhE-01321-00295207-00295616 in which the individual becomes stuck in 0jYA0-lknhE-01322-00295407-00295904 the denial stage of the grieving process 0jYA0-lknhE-01323-00295616-00296120 and they can't move past that stage and 0jYA0-lknhE-01324-00295904-00296328 then there's the distorted response and 0jYA0-lknhE-01325-00296120-00296535 in the distorted response 0jYA0-lknhE-01326-00296328-00296759 is in which the individual becomes stuck 0jYA0-lknhE-01327-00296535-00297135 in the anger stage of the process 0jYA0-lknhE-01328-00296759-00297252 so i hope that you can begin to see that 0jYA0-lknhE-01329-00297135-00297568 how this 0jYA0-lknhE-01330-00297252-00297952 prolonged period um 0jYA0-lknhE-01331-00297568-00298280 is not adaptive but it is a maladaptive 0jYA0-lknhE-01332-00297952-00298472 response to what's going on and again 0jYA0-lknhE-01333-00298280-00298696 with that individual with that 0jYA0-lknhE-01334-00298472-00298911 maladaptive response 0jYA0-lknhE-01335-00298696-00299048 we need to recognize that the individual 0jYA0-lknhE-01336-00298911-00299335 turns the anger 0jYA0-lknhE-01337-00299048-00299496 anger inward they turn it on their self 0jYA0-lknhE-01338-00299335-00299728 they become consumed with 0jYA0-lknhE-01339-00299496-00299968 overwhelming feelings of despair they 0jYA0-lknhE-01340-00299728-00300296 become unable to function in their 0jYA0-lknhE-01341-00299968-00300728 normal activities they 0jYA0-lknhE-01342-00300296-00301031 have a delay in the living process 0jYA0-lknhE-01343-00300728-00301335 their grief becomes distorted 0jYA0-lknhE-01344-00301031-00301664 and so when you think about those things 0jYA0-lknhE-01345-00301335-00301816 we very much go back to things that you 0jYA0-lknhE-01346-00301664-00302048 learn in fundamentals 0jYA0-lknhE-01347-00301816-00302311 which is what um when something 0jYA0-lknhE-01348-00302048-00302483 interferes with your activities of daily 0jYA0-lknhE-01349-00302311-00302776 living 0jYA0-lknhE-01350-00302483-00303048 um that you can control 0jYA0-lknhE-01351-00302776-00303248 that is a maladaptive experience when 0jYA0-lknhE-01352-00303048-00303607 you don't try to get a handle on it 0jYA0-lknhE-01353-00303248-00303904 so the same thing is um it 0jYA0-lknhE-01354-00303607-00304007 is relevant with the distorted grief 0jYA0-lknhE-01355-00303904-00304248 reaction 0jYA0-lknhE-01356-00304007-00304376 um because of the fact that that 0jYA0-lknhE-01357-00304248-00304592 grieving 0jYA0-lknhE-01358-00304376-00304720 when it's thought to be maladaptive when 0jYA0-lknhE-01359-00304592-00304992 the morning process 0jYA0-lknhE-01360-00304720-00305224 is prolonged when it's delayed or when 0jYA0-lknhE-01361-00304992-00305640 it inhibits a person's ability 0jYA0-lknhE-01362-00305224-00305640 um to become 0jYA0-lknhE-01363-00305704-00306344 a functioning member of society again 0jYA0-lknhE-01364-00306016-00306616 and so that is chapter one um 0jYA0-lknhE-01365-00306344-00306616 of your text 0jYA0-lknhE-01366-00306744-00307192 um as you're studying for for this i

central reason. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00194-00068388-00068922 Due to democratic voter laws and voter suppression. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00195-00068922-00069292 Ari Berman and his brilliant book, Give Us the Ballot, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00196-00069292-00069826 points out that between 2011 and '15, 395 new laws 0kHh-1bfs7u-00197-00069826-00070066 of voter restriction introduced in state legislations 0kHh-1bfs7u-00198-00070066-00070703 in 49 states, many of them became law, voter restriction. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00199-00070703-00070997 The voting rights had been fully and fairly protected, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00200-00070997-00071454 we would be bringing a different discussion today. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00201-00071454-00071578 She won the popular vote. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00202-00071578-00071835 If it were not for voter suppression, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00203-00071835-00072322 she would have won the vote in the electoral college, as well. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00204-00072322-00072722 New voting laws, since June 25, 2013, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00205-00072722-00072976 it wiped out 868 polling places, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00206-00072976-00073339 that includes removing polling places from campuses 0kHh-1bfs7u-00207-00073339-00073656 and

0kHh-1bfs7u-00226-00080410-00080607 President Ford did the same thing with respect 0kHh-1bfs7u-00227-00080607-00080767 to Richard Nixon after Watergate, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00228-00080767-00081067 even though he had violated, dishonored, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00229-00081067-00081371 and debased the Constitution, while it was clear 0kHh-1bfs7u-00230-00081371-00081588 that he would have been impeached and convicted 0kHh-1bfs7u-00231-00081588-00081838 and driven from office, legally and technically, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00232-00081838-00082065 he was never indicted. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00233-00082065-00082335 Tried, not convicted of anything. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00234-00082335-00082482 Unique to Ford and Nixon was 0kHh-1bfs7u-00235-00082482-00082729 that Nixon was never officially accused [inaudible] 0kHh-1bfs7u-00236-00082729-00083009 to even [inaudible] the pardon. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00237-00083009-00083219 President Ford was simply determined 0kHh-1bfs7u-00238-00083219-00083419 to stop the potential

name of [inaudible] of Lincoln and Ford 0kHh-1bfs7u-00244-00084841-00085061 for President Obama to do the same 0kHh-1bfs7u-00245-00085061-00085361 and to pardon Hillary Clinton. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00246-00086005-00086236 President-elect Trump [inaudible] promised 0kHh-1bfs7u-00247-00086236-00086596 to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Secretary Clinton

indicted, tried, or convicted of anything. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00251-00087534-00087797 President Obama should follow President Ford's example 0kHh-1bfs7u-00252-00087797-00088164 and offer a [inaudible] pardon

0kHh-1bfs7u-00255-00088691-00089035 To do otherwise will only exacerbate divisions 0kHh-1bfs7u-00256-00089035-00089205 and harden feelings on both sides. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00257-00089205-00089496 It would be a monumental moral and political mistake 0kHh-1bfs7u-00258-00089496-00089883 to pursue the prosecution of Hillary Clinton. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00259-00089883-00090019 Such a mean-spirited action

There's still tremendous tension in our country 0kHh-1bfs7u-00263-00090927-00091144 because of unfinished business. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00264-00091144-00091381 There's something in the current political

0kHh-1bfs7u-00275-00094394-00094737 President Clinton said [inaudible], said, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00276-00094737-00095351 we must go forward by hope and not backwards by fear. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00277-00095351-00095562 Donald Trump said the electoral college was ridiculous 0kHh-1bfs7u-00278-00095562-00095895 until he won and then he said it was a great system, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00279-00095895-00096546 respected smaller states, that is what rigging looks like. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00280-00096546-00097303 [ Applause & Cheering ] 0kHh-1bfs7u-00281-00097303-00097620 What

about the republic and its character. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00303-00104304-00104647 The rule of money, permitted by citizens united, is undemocratic 0kHh-1bfs7u-00304-00104647-00104941 and [inaudible] our

0kHh-1bfs7u-00309-00106336-00106573 Sexism had an impact. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00310-00106573-00106709 The abandonment of the working class 0kHh-1bfs7u-00311-00106709-00106843 and organized labor played a

0kHh-1bfs7u-00333-00114043-00114277 of the rules in the precincts. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00334-00114277-00114684 The voter suppression affects many groups, Hispanics, Asians, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00335-00114684-00115081 women, workers, young people, seniors, the disabled 0kHh-1bfs7u-00336-00115081-00115548 and whites, but the primary target was African Americans. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00337-00115548-00115775 The right to vote is the most basic right under the democracy, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00338-00115775-00115925 but the black votes is a foundation 0kHh-1bfs7u-00339-00115925-00116339 for democratic [inaudible] and process.

that we don't have a national voting system, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00348-00118471-00118711 but a state and local system. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00349-00118711-00118952 You can't rig in the American presidential race, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00350-00118952-00119222 but really you can. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00351-00119222-00119455 You don't have to rig the entire system, just three 0kHh-1bfs7u-00352-00119455-00119786 or four states,

0kHh-1bfs7u-00359-00122195-00122485 In 2016, Florida, Georgia, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00360-00122485-00122715 and North Carolina [inaudible] federal appeals court said the 0kHh-1bfs7u-00361-00122715-00123012

So-called liberal states, like Pennsylvania, New York, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00364-00123823-00124153 and Michigan don't have early voting, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00365-00124153-00124537 which is an institutional form of

disproportionately. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00371-00125745-00126022 Most voters would be surprised to learn that new American, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00372-00126022-00126142 I say new American, 0kHh-1bfs7u-00373-00126142-00126606 as an American has the fundamental right to vote. 0kHh-1bfs7u-00374-00126606-00126863 The explicit, fundamental individual right 0kHh-1bfs7u-00375-00126863-00127183
