OvlpTBx0Dl8-00475-00109583-00109815 and your cast is so unique they are so OvlpTBx0Dl8-00476-00109816-00110054 fun they are so genuine OvlpTBx0Dl8-00477-00110055-00110295 and tell us a little bit

science honors here at the O-CTnE-Vboo-00005-00001336-00001478 university of newcastle O-CTnE-Vboo-00006-00001479-00001639 i joined the team shortly after i O-CTnE-Vboo-00007-00001639-00001814 started uni and i've been working on O-CTnE-Vboo-00008-00001816-00001982 news site and other projects since O-CTnE-Vboo-00009-00001984-00002239 so nusite is a real-time visualization O-CTnE-Vboo-00010-00002240-00002407 tool which we built here at nubuts to O-CTnE-Vboo-00011-00002408-00002550 help us understand and improve our O-CTnE-Vboo-00012-00002551-00002655 robots O-CTnE-Vboo-00013-00002656-00002823 it's a web application you run on your O-CTnE-Vboo-00014-00002824-00003023 computer which allows you to visualize O-CTnE-Vboo-00015-00003024-00003215 and explore robotic data O-CTnE-Vboo-00016-00003215-00003383 and in a way you can say new site is O-CTnE-Vboo-00017-00003384-00003575 like a tool we use for reading the minds O-CTnE-Vboo-00018-00003576-00003670 of our robots O-CTnE-Vboo-00019-00003671-00003863 as you might imagine building autonomous O-CTnE-Vboo-00020-00003864-00004006 soccer playing robots O-CTnE-Vboo-00021-00004007-00004143 that use advanced artificial O-CTnE-Vboo-00022-00004144-00004343 intelligence is not a simple task O-CTnE-Vboo-00023-00004344-00004535 each of our robots is a complex system O-CTnE-Vboo-00024-00004536-00004711 of hardware and software pieces that O-CTnE-Vboo-00025-00004712-00004751 must O-CTnE-Vboo-00026-00004752-00004927 fit together precisely for something to O-CTnE-Vboo-00027-00004928-00005063 work if O-CTnE-Vboo-00028-00005064-00005286 one part of it breaks it's very O-CTnE-Vboo-00029-00005287-00005422 difficult to tell what that is from the O-CTnE-Vboo-00030-00005423-00005527 outside O-CTnE-Vboo-00031-00005528-00005759 so this is a system visibility problem O-CTnE-Vboo-00032-00005760-00005975 and we set out to solve it to O-CTnE-Vboo-00033-00005976-00006143 improve our research and development O-CTnE-Vboo-00034-00006144-00006295 processes making it faster O-CTnE-Vboo-00035-00006296-00006510 easier and more efficient so when O-CTnE-Vboo-00036-00006511-00006734 running a robot collects data from O-CTnE-Vboo-00037-00006736-00006934 its sensors cameras and other input O-CTnE-Vboo-00038-00006936-00007167 devices we take this data and we O-CTnE-Vboo-00039-00007168-00007367 transfer it wirelessly to new site where O-CTnE-Vboo-00040-00007368-00007534 it's visualized in real time using one O-CTnE-Vboo-00041-00007536-00007767 of several visualization interfaces O-CTnE-Vboo-00042-00007768-00007983 one of these interfaces is the dashboard O-CTnE-Vboo-00043-00007984-00008078 which shows O-CTnE-Vboo-00044-00008079-00008239 an overall status of all the robots that O-CTnE-Vboo-00045-00008240-00008414 are connected we also have another O-CTnE-Vboo-00046-00008415-00008583 interface called localization which O-CTnE-Vboo-00047-00008584-00008774 shows a 3d view of the field O-CTnE-Vboo-00048-00008775-00008942 and where all the robots are on it and O-CTnE-Vboo-00049-00008943-00009078 how they're moving physically in the O-CTnE-Vboo-00050-00009079-00009183 world O-CTnE-Vboo-00051-00009184-00009414 we also have a vision interface which O-CTnE-Vboo-00052-00009415-00009487 shows us O-CTnE-Vboo-00053-00009488-00009639 a stream of images coming from the O-CTnE-Vboo-00054-00009640-00009855 robots and then we have a chart O-CTnE-Vboo-00055-00009856-00010046 interface which allows us to plot any O-CTnE-Vboo-00056-00010047-00010231 number of data points from any number of O-CTnE-Vboo-00057-00010232-00010406 robots at the same time O-CTnE-Vboo-00058-00010407-00010623 so taking together these visualizations O-CTnE-Vboo-00059-00010624-00010767 allow us to O-CTnE-Vboo-00060-00010768-00010959 understand at any time what's going on O-CTnE-Vboo-00061-00010960-00011078 with each robot O-CTnE-Vboo-00062-00011079-00011255 thereby solving our problem of system O-CTnE-Vboo-00063-00011256-00011495 visibility which we had before O-CTnE-Vboo-00064-00011496-00011695 personally my goal for this project was O-CTnE-Vboo-00065-00011696-00011959 to help build a tool to empower the team O-CTnE-Vboo-00066-00011960-00012151 as we work together to solve the shared O-CTnE-Vboo-00067-00012152-00012351 goal of building a team of robots that O-CTnE-Vboo-00068-00012352-00012567 can defeat the human world champions by O-CTnE-Vboo-00069-00012568-00012687 2050 O-CTnE-Vboo-00070-00012688-00012879 as a team our goal was to improve our O-CTnE-Vboo-00071-00012880-00013022 system visibility O-CTnE-Vboo-00072-00013023-00013158 and accelerate our research and O-CTnE-Vboo-00073-00013159-00013343 development though we've largely O-CTnE-Vboo-00074-00013344-00013503 achieved those goals we feel like we can O-CTnE-Vboo-00075-00013504-00013566 do more O-CTnE-Vboo-00076-00013568-00013879 so using technologies like vr and ar O-CTnE-Vboo-00077-00013880-00014063 we can build visualizations that are a O-CTnE-Vboo-00078-00014063-00014286 lot more interactive and immersive O-CTnE-Vboo-00079-00014287-00014511 providing a

O-CTnE-Vboo-00082-00014856-00015063 from other fields such as medicine O-CTnE-Vboo-00083-00015063-00015286 cyber security and environmental science O-CTnE-Vboo-00084-00015287-00015463 to me that's very exciting and it's the O-CTnE-Vboo-00085-00015463-00015583 future of some of the work we're doing O-CTnE-Vboo-00086-00015584-00016328 here at nubucks O_eBDWc2zl8-00000-00000942-00001495 [Applause]

ODhLGOttqWQ-00002-00000552-00000665 the future will bring ODhLGOttqWQ-00003-00000666-00000853 we are investors so we have to make up ODhLGOttqWQ-00004-00000855-00001158 our mind this is a good year to invest ODhLGOttqWQ-00005-00001159-00001516 now this is a question a lot of people ODhLGOttqWQ-00006-00001517-00001766 ask themselves and unfortunately nobody ODhLGOttqWQ-00007-00001767-00001964 can answer it correctly ODhLGOttqWQ-00008-00001964-00002249 I remember reading Peter Lynch The Wall ODhLGOttqWQ-00009-00002250-00002564 Street guru who said that they predicted ODhLGOttqWQ-00010-00002565-00002921 over ten years where the market would be ODhLGOttqWQ-00011-00002922-00003140 in the next year and they were wrong all ODhLGOttqWQ-00012-00003141-00003461 time and when Peter Majer says stay he ODhLGOttqWQ-00013-00003461-00003710 means the top analysts at Wall Street ODhLGOttqWQ-00014-00003711-00003899 whenever they thought it was a good year ODhLGOttqWQ-00015-00003900-00004151 it was a bad year as a matter of fact 87 ODhLGOttqWQ-00016-00004152-00004676 was their most bullish forecast and the ODhLGOttqWQ-00017-00004677-00004879 best year then actually was when they ODhLGOttqWQ-00018-00004880-00005126 had the worst forecasts what people do ODhLGOttqWQ-00019-00005127-00005561 is they look back and they see in 2017 ODhLGOttqWQ-00020-00005562-00005867 was a very good year well 2018 is going ODhLGOttqWQ-00021-00005868-00006152 to be roughly the same so he here very ODhLGOttqWQ-00022-00006153-00006322 positive forecast right now as a matter ODhLGOttqWQ-00023-00006323-00006506 of fact if you go to the banks they will ODhLGOttqWQ-00024-00006506-00006709 all tell you this is going to be a good ODhLGOttqWQ-00025-00006711-00006977 investment year but I would like to tell ODhLGOttqWQ-00026-00006978-00007256 you a little story in the US they made ODhLGOttqWQ-00027-00007256-00007503 an analysis how could forecast are and ODhLGOttqWQ-00028-00007504-00007798 they did the following they asked ODhLGOttqWQ-00029-00007800-00008333 experts to choose from different ODhLGOttqWQ-00030-00008334-00008699 outcomes where the stock market grow by ODhLGOttqWQ-00031-00008700-00008863 10% ODhLGOttqWQ-00032-00008864-00009295 we need states flood or will it actually ODhLGOttqWQ-00033-00009296-00009703 contract a 10% and the experts had to ODhLGOttqWQ-00034-00009704-00010091 answer they had to choose 10% 0 or minus ODhLGOttqWQ-00035-00010092-00010367 10% and whenever somebody said it's ODhLGOttqWQ-00036-00010368-00010916 going to grow 10% they add a little bar ODhLGOttqWQ-00037-00010917-00011153 here until they had all the answers ODhLGOttqWQ-00038-00011154-00011431 let's assume right now a lot of people ODhLGOttqWQ-00039-00011432-00011555 would probably say it's gonna grow back ODhLGOttqWQ-00040-00011556-00011960 10% while we're if you would say it will ODhLGOttqWQ-00041-00011961-00012251 actually contract by 10% and maybe you ODhLGOttqWQ-00042-00012252-00012635 less people will say it grows by 0% this ODhLGOttqWQ-00043-00012636-00012844 could very well be what happens right ODhLGOttqWQ-00044-00012845-00013096 now they did this over a long period of ODhLGOttqWQ-00045-00013097-00013159 time ODhLGOttqWQ-00046-00013160-00013315 yes again and again and they always ODhLGOttqWQ-00047-00013316-00013563 measured what people think and then they ODhLGOttqWQ-00048-00013565-00013804 looked what actually turned out to be ODhLGOttqWQ-00049-00013805-00014094 true and what turned out to be true was ODhLGOttqWQ-00050-00014096-00014344 always the selection that was favored ODhLGOttqWQ-00051-00014344-00014458 the least ODhLGOttqWQ-00052-00014459-00014691 so whenever a lot of experts said a ODhLGOttqWQ-00053-00014693-00014991 certain option is less likely it was the ODhLGOttqWQ-00054-00014993-00015301 option that actually happened this about ODhLGOttqWQ-00055-00015302-00015610 forecasting it is extremely difficult to ODhLGOttqWQ-00056-00015611-00015961 forecast the future so what do I do well ODhLGOttqWQ-00057-00015962-00016222 I have to invest in 2018 and I do the ODhLGOttqWQ-00058-00016222-00016393 same as in 2017 ODhLGOttqWQ-00059-00016394-00016609 I keep investing my retirement savings ODhLGOttqWQ-00060-00016610-00016999 every every period at a time every month ODhLGOttqWQ-00061-00017000-00017191 every week depending on how often you ODhLGOttqWQ-00062-00017192-00017407 want to invest your portfolio because I ODhLGOttqWQ-00063-00017408-00017623 cannot predict if this year is going to ODhLGOttqWQ-00064-00017624-00017869 be as bad I expected last year to be or ODhLGOttqWQ-00065-00017870-00018121 if this year is as good as last year ODhLGOttqWQ-00066-00018122-00018451 actually was this is my decision I wish

ODFu4pOm8y8-00047-00015382-00015486 lot of people have already noticed ODFu4pOm8y8-00048-00015487-00015674 there's a little bit of change in style ODFu4pOm8y8-00049-00015675-00015996 what people will notice first is in the ODFu4pOm8y8-00050-00015997-00016203 open world map it takes on a little bit ODFu4pOm8y8-00051-00016204-00016458 more photorealistic look so you'll ODFu4pOm8y8-00052-00016459-00016686 actually see blades of grass moving you ODFu4pOm8y8-00053-00016687-00016869 know trees are blowing in the wind and ODFu4pOm8y8-00054-00016870-00017067 whatnot and

ODFu4pOm8y8-00057-00017536-00017991 a tv-style look within that map now once ODFu4pOm8y8-00058-00017992-00018243 you get into the actual battles with ODFu4pOm8y8-00059-00018244-00018495 monsters it actually gained more stack ODFu4pOm8y8-00060-00018496-00018897 into that studio ghibli anime style that ODFu4pOm8y8-00061-00018898-00019083 people know and look and at that point ODFu4pOm8y8-00062-00019084-00019506 you know we've got new new little helper ODFu4pOm8y8-00063-00019507-00019698 characters called hey goalies not only ODFu4pOm8y8-00064-00019699-00019881 will these

ODFu4pOm8y8-00067-00020323-00020514 jump to you know that's one of the ODFu4pOm8y8-00068-00020515-00020613 things that we're showing off in the ODFu4pOm8y8-00069-00020614-00020880 demo where you know you you meet a new ODFu4pOm8y8-00070-00020881-00021168 higgledy and his power is controlling ODFu4pOm8y8-00071-00021169-00021408 winds and he actually creates a little ODFu4pOm8y8-00072-00021409-00021681 big well not a little big for nado but a ODFu4pOm8y8-00073-00021682-00021897 little bigger tornado that actually ODFu4pOm8y8-00074-00021898-00022104 scoops you up to allow you to reach the ODFu4pOm8y8-00075-00022105-00022289 place that was too high for you to jump ODFu4pOm8y8-00076-00022290-00022560 prior in the demo these people tease ODFu4pOm8y8-00077-00022561-00022772 also can be used for their attack ODFu4pOm8y8-00078-00022773-00023058 strengths and talents as well in that ODFu4pOm8y8-00079-00023059-00023346 each different group of abilities have ODFu4pOm8y8-00080-00023347-00023631 their own magic spell or you can have ODFu4pOm8y8-00081-00023632-00023862 the halo these actually attack enemies ODFu4pOm8y8-00082-00023863-00024002 in math ODFu4pOm8y8-00083-00024003-00024197 and in our demo we actually show that ODFu4pOm8y8-00084-00024198-00024521 when we play against the boss the boss ODFu4pOm8y8-00085-00024522-00024935 is this big wooly bully character and we ODFu4pOm8y8-00086-00024936-00025166 tell those people tease attack them all ODFu4pOm8y8-00087-00025167-00025349 at once they jump on his back get him ODFu4pOm8y8-00088-00025350-00025600 distracted which allows the main party ODFu4pOm8y8-00089-00025601-00025862 to go in there and use their melee and ODFu4pOm8y8-00090-00025863-00026183 magic field to take them down so all of ODFu4pOm8y8-00091-00026183-00026474 these things combined along with a new ODFu4pOm8y8-00092-00026475-00026639 battle system where we're actually using ODFu4pOm8y8-00093-00026639-00026882 a real-time battle system now versus the ODFu4pOm8y8-00094-00026883-00027110 previous game that was a turn based ODFu4pOm8y8-00095-00027111-00027380 system really brings more of a dynamic ODFu4pOm8y8-00096-00027381-00027508 dynamic that might be a little bit ODFu4pOm8y8-00097-00027510-00027800 faster paced and

Rich history OE6wOGQF4kc-00076-00020976-00021167 this is the Roanoke River OE6wOGQF4kc-00077-00021168-00021508 running here north to south and when I OE6wOGQF4kc-00078-00021509-00021772 was a young boy I used to ride pole OE6wOGQF4kc-00079-00021773-00021994 boats up and down this River and of OE6wOGQF4kc-00080-00021995-00022253 course we would pack our food and fish a OE6wOGQF4kc-00081-00022254-00022535 little bit and look for our heads and OE6wOGQF4kc-00082-00022536-00022883 swim a while there was a mile long OE6wOGQF4kc-00083-00022884-00023194 bottom where the water is today OE6wOGQF4kc-00084-00023195-00023441 one Farm affected by the rising water OE6wOGQF4kc-00085-00023442-00023699 was owned by the Bernard family they OE6wOGQF4kc-00086-00023700-00023914 raised tobacco and livestock OE6wOGQF4kc-00087-00023915-00024203 cattle mainly OE6wOGQF4kc-00088-00024204-00024443 but you know you always have little OE6wOGQF4kc-00089-00024444-00024719 piggies OE6wOGQF4kc-00090-00024720-00024958 and things like that but my husband OE6wOGQF4kc-00091-00024959-00025247 mainly was into Black Angus he liked the OE6wOGQF4kc-00092-00025248-00025385 cattle OE6wOGQF4kc-00093-00025386-00025612 they started out it was just all farm OE6wOGQF4kc-00094-00025613-00025918 country and River bottoms with a river OE6wOGQF4kc-00095-00025919-00026134 flowing through the mountains you know OE6wOGQF4kc-00096-00026135-00026345 and they farmed the river bottoms fish OE6wOGQF4kc-00097-00026345-00026668 the river and but people coming in now OE6wOGQF4kc-00098-00026669-00026914 probably can't even visualize what it OE6wOGQF4kc-00099-00026916-00027208 looked like then it was country then now OE6wOGQF4kc-00100-00027210-00027346 it's not OE6wOGQF4kc-00101-00027347-00027551 talk of a dam in the Gap at Smith OE6wOGQF4kc-00102-00027552-00027857 Mountain began as early as 1906. it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00103-00027858-00028108 officially proposed in 1924 when the OE6wOGQF4kc-00104-00028110-00028337 Roanoke Stanton River Power Company was OE6wOGQF4kc-00105-00028338-00028618 formed the possibility of a dam being OE6wOGQF4kc-00106-00028619-00028840 built affected business in the region OE6wOGQF4kc-00107-00028841-00029146 including a local Railroad OE6wOGQF4kc-00108-00029147-00029357 the f p was the Franklin and OE6wOGQF4kc-00109-00029358-00029573 Pennsylvania Railroad and it meandered OE6wOGQF4kc-00110-00029574-00029699 down through the countryside here OE6wOGQF4kc-00111-00029700-00029902 because the land goes up and down like a OE6wOGQF4kc-00112-00029904-00030112 roller coaster in a lot of places so OE6wOGQF4kc-00113-00030113-00030281 they had to follow a path where it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00114-00030282-00030490 more or less a level it started running OE6wOGQF4kc-00115-00030491-00030895 on the 1st of May 1880 and it ran until OE6wOGQF4kc-00116-00030895-00031174 1932 in April it went on down through OE6wOGQF4kc-00117-00031175-00031379 each little town or Village just like OE6wOGQF4kc-00118-00031380-00031583 Glade Hill here about the time the OE6wOGQF4kc-00119-00031583-00031831 railroad was coming to an end in OE6wOGQF4kc-00120-00031832-00032177 1928 a group of men that were trying to OE6wOGQF4kc-00121-00032177-00032411 get the pitiful Branch to use for OE6wOGQF4kc-00122-00032412-00032651 hauling Lumber they wrote a letter to OE6wOGQF4kc-00123-00032652-00032831 the Southern and they said in the letter OE6wOGQF4kc-00124-00032832-00033071 they understood that those tracks that OE6wOGQF4kc-00125-00033072-00033179 probably wouldn't be able to lease them OE6wOGQF4kc-00126-00033180-00033395 for an extended period of time because OE6wOGQF4kc-00127-00033396-00033659 they were going to be used for hauling OE6wOGQF4kc-00128-00033660-00033839 materials for the construction of a dam OE6wOGQF4kc-00129-00033840-00034018 that they were planning on building on OE6wOGQF4kc-00130-00034019-00034205 the river out on Smith Mountain coming OE6wOGQF4kc-00131-00034206-00034451 through the Gap as it turned out the OE6wOGQF4kc-00132-00034452-00034679 branch being extended over to the Gap OE6wOGQF4kc-00133-00034680-00034840 there in the mountain never did OE6wOGQF4kc-00134-00034841-00034981 materialize OE6wOGQF4kc-00135-00034982-00035273 in the 1930s it was concluded the dam OE6wOGQF4kc-00136-00035274-00035518 wasn't economically feasible but the OE6wOGQF4kc-00137-00035519-00035737 idea of a dam in the Gap didn't go away OE6wOGQF4kc-00138-00035738-00035951 prompted by the need for flood control OE6wOGQF4kc-00139-00035952-00036221 in 1945 the Roanoke River Basin OE6wOGQF4kc-00140-00036222-00036443 Association was formed to promote the OE6wOGQF4kc-00141-00036444-00036599 construction of dams in the region OE6wOGQF4kc-00142-00036600-00036893 including a dam at Smith Mountain OE6wOGQF4kc-00143-00036894-00037102 Appalachian Power company purchased the OE6wOGQF4kc-00144-00037103-00037307 land and rights from the Roanoke Stanton OE6wOGQF4kc-00145-00037308-00037618 River Power Company in 1954 the federal OE6wOGQF4kc-00146-00037619-00037829 power commission approved appalachian's OE6wOGQF4kc-00147-00037830-00038057 license in April 1960 for a OE6wOGQF4kc-00148-00038058-00038285 hydroelectric power facility OE6wOGQF4kc-00149-00038286-00038495 thank you OE6wOGQF4kc-00150-00038496-00038699 and the massive construction project OE6wOGQF4kc-00151-00038700-00038915 that was to change the face of the area OE6wOGQF4kc-00152-00038916-00039245 got underway OE6wOGQF4kc-00153-00039246-00039468 the Smith Mountain pump storage project OE6wOGQF4kc-00154-00039469-00039779 consists of two dams and lakes using OE6wOGQF4kc-00155-00039780-00039946 pencil and a slide rule the double OE6wOGQF4kc-00156-00039947-00040168 curvature Arch Dam on the Roanoke River OE6wOGQF4kc-00157-00040169-00040409 at Smith Mountain was designed by 25 OE6wOGQF4kc-00158-00040410-00040787 year old Dr Jeffrey Fong it is 816 feet OE6wOGQF4kc-00159-00040788-00041105 wide and 235 feet high with five OE6wOGQF4kc-00160-00041106-00041299 generating units that on average OE6wOGQF4kc-00161-00041300-00041890 generate 435 000 megawatt hours per year OE6wOGQF4kc-00162-00041891-00042095 Down River from Smith Mountain is OE6wOGQF4kc-00163-00042096-00042365 Leesville Lake and Dam the lake at 17 OE6wOGQF4kc-00164-00042366-00042580 miles in length with 100 miles of OE6wOGQF4kc-00165-00042581-00042821 Shoreline is much smaller than the Upper OE6wOGQF4kc-00166-00042822-00043102 Lake the Leesville dam is a concrete OE6wOGQF4kc-00167-00043103-00043895 gravity Dam with two generating units OE6wOGQF4kc-00168-00043896-00044171 during Peak demand water flows through OE6wOGQF4kc-00169-00044172-00044435 Smith Mountain Dam to Leesville Lake to OE6wOGQF4kc-00170-00044436-00044674 generate electricity when demand is OE6wOGQF4kc-00171-00044675-00044957 lower the pumps can be reversed and the OE6wOGQF4kc-00172-00044958-00045149 water returned to Smith Mountain Lake to OE6wOGQF4kc-00173-00045150-00045346 be used again OE6wOGQF4kc-00174-00045347-00045595 foreign OE6wOGQF4kc-00175-00045596-00045905 wasn't even completed the last OE6wOGQF4kc-00176-00045906-00046102 two miles going into Smith Mountain OE6wOGQF4kc-00177-00046103-00046396 there was no Road they was clearing the OE6wOGQF4kc-00178-00046397-00046637 stumps out of the road when I got there OE6wOGQF4kc-00179-00046638-00047021 and the excavation contractor was OE6wOGQF4kc-00180-00047022-00047267 already arrived and he was working from OE6wOGQF4kc-00181-00047268-00047423 the top of the mountain on the Bedford OE6wOGQF4kc-00182-00047424-00047537 County side OE6wOGQF4kc-00183-00047538-00047849 I was just off the farm and applied for OE6wOGQF4kc-00184-00047850-00048052 a job and they put me with the engineers OE6wOGQF4kc-00185-00048053-00048377 and that just suited me to a t i was OE6wOGQF4kc-00186-00048378-00048658 fascinated about starting a project like OE6wOGQF4kc-00187-00048659-00048880 that almost from the get-go the river OE6wOGQF4kc-00188-00048881-00049157 was still flowing through when I went OE6wOGQF4kc-00189-00049158-00049439 and just to see it constructed was real OE6wOGQF4kc-00190-00049440-00049762 interesting initially they had a OE6wOGQF4kc-00191-00049763-00050171 microwave phone on a pole on the Bedford OE6wOGQF4kc-00192-00050172-00050296 County side OE6wOGQF4kc-00193-00050297-00050621 but our little survey Shack on the OE6wOGQF4kc-00194-00050622-00050849 Pittsylvania County side the only way we OE6wOGQF4kc-00195-00050850-00051226 can get to the phone was a boat OE6wOGQF4kc-00196-00051227-00051544 yeah it was uh pretty primitive one of OE6wOGQF4kc-00197-00051545-00051719 the key components of the Smith Mountain OE6wOGQF4kc-00198-00051720-00052079 dam is concrete 175 OE6wOGQF4kc-00199-00052079-00052252 000 cubic yards went into its OE6wOGQF4kc-00200-00052253-00052499 construction to facilitate moving the OE6wOGQF4kc-00201-00052500-00052757 concrete and other materials a cable OE6wOGQF4kc-00202-00052758-00052979 over one thousand feet long was put in OE6wOGQF4kc-00203-00052979-00053065 place OE6wOGQF4kc-00204-00053066-00053561 325 feet above the riverbed they mixed OE6wOGQF4kc-00205-00053562-00053819 the concrete up on the hill OE6wOGQF4kc-00206-00053820-00054023 they didn't bring it in in trucks they OE6wOGQF4kc-00207-00054024-00054226 made it right there on site way up on OE6wOGQF4kc-00208-00054227-00054461 the mountain they had a four OE6wOGQF4kc-00209-00054462-00054803 yard and six yard bucket to drop the OE6wOGQF4kc-00210-00054804-00055132 concrete from and a track that went from OE6wOGQF4kc-00211-00055133-00055415 a batch plant to where the cable started OE6wOGQF4kc-00212-00055416-00055594 and they could pick it up and carry it OE6wOGQF4kc-00213-00055595-00055882 across to where the pool need to be but OE6wOGQF4kc-00214-00055883-00056044 the biggest thing I always thought when OE6wOGQF4kc-00215-00056045-00056375 I first saw them do it it had much six OE6wOGQF4kc-00216-00056376-00056609 yards was and then people just walked OE6wOGQF4kc-00217-00056610-00056926 right up on top of it as if it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00218-00056927-00057329 almost set up because it was so thick I OE6wOGQF4kc-00219-00057329-00057473 worked in the civil engineering OE6wOGQF4kc-00220-00057474-00057749 department we had to go out and check OE6wOGQF4kc-00221-00057750-00058007 forms that the contractor put up to make OE6wOGQF4kc-00222-00058008-00058271 sure they are perfect and anything OE6wOGQF4kc-00223-00058272-00058475 that's supposed to be in that form such OE6wOGQF4kc-00224-00058476-00058853 as pipe anchors steel we have to check OE6wOGQF4kc-00225-00058854-00059015 all that make sure they in the right OE6wOGQF4kc-00226-00059016-00059321 location before we could sign it off to OE6wOGQF4kc-00227-00059322-00059387 be OE6wOGQF4kc-00228-00059388-00059566 pulling concrete OE6wOGQF4kc-00229-00059567-00059926 the dam was built up in concrete OE6wOGQF4kc-00230-00059927-00060238 sections and we would go and Survey OE6wOGQF4kc-00231-00060239-00060509 everything related to as the dam was OE6wOGQF4kc-00232-00060510-00060773 coming up you know climbing around on OE6wOGQF4kc-00233-00060774-00061030 those ladders that you had to get to OE6wOGQF4kc-00234-00061032-00061254 those pores OE6wOGQF4kc-00235-00061255-00061642 sometimes a ladder would be OE6wOGQF4kc-00236-00061644-00061882 almost straight up or worse than OE6wOGQF4kc-00237-00061883-00062147 straight up and I OE6wOGQF4kc-00238-00062148-00062459 that was unnerving it was very OE6wOGQF4kc-00239-00062460-00062776 interesting to have the head of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00240-00062777-00062987 concrete division OE6wOGQF4kc-00241-00062988-00063287 come in the office and he would be OE6wOGQF4kc-00242-00063288-00063485 talking about how many pores they were OE6wOGQF4kc-00243-00063486-00063754 going to have and mixing it and the OE6wOGQF4kc-00244-00063755-00064091 whole setup was amazing you know here OE6wOGQF4kc-00245-00064091-00064391 these men are designing and setting up OE6wOGQF4kc-00246-00064391-00064480 this OE6wOGQF4kc-00247-00064482-00064732 pulley system that's on the side of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00248-00064733-00065104 mountain it was just amazing it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00249-00065105-00065530 dumped into a real large containers OE6wOGQF4kc-00250-00065532-00065843 that were swung Up and Down the River to OE6wOGQF4kc-00251-00065844-00066185 whatever part of the dam was needed and OE6wOGQF4kc-00252-00066186-00066485 this was a railroad car built on tracks OE6wOGQF4kc-00253-00066486-00066767 that would allow it to move up and down OE6wOGQF4kc-00254-00066768-00066994 the river and it was anchored on the far OE6wOGQF4kc-00255-00066995-00067103 side OE6wOGQF4kc-00256-00067104-00067397 just into the hillside I must have been OE6wOGQF4kc-00257-00067398-00067643 really anchored well because that cable OE6wOGQF4kc-00258-00067644-00067985 would even move bulldozers around when OE6wOGQF4kc-00259-00067986-00068291 they pick that concrete up OE6wOGQF4kc-00260-00068292-00068524 that old cable would just OE6wOGQF4kc-00261-00068525-00068579 [Music] OE6wOGQF4kc-00262-00068580-00068681 um OE6wOGQF4kc-00263-00068682-00068926 there's a lot of weight everything that OE6wOGQF4kc-00264-00068927-00069185 went into the dam had to be set with the OE6wOGQF4kc-00265-00069186-00069425 cableway some of the Machinery was huge OE6wOGQF4kc-00266-00069426-00069731 you had the pen stalks which was the big OE6wOGQF4kc-00267-00069732-00069905 tubes coming out of the dam into the OE6wOGQF4kc-00268-00069906-00070132 turbines and you had your water wheel OE6wOGQF4kc-00269-00070133-00070379 you had your scroll case OE6wOGQF4kc-00270-00070380-00070625 and then you had your generators your OE6wOGQF4kc-00271-00070626-00070847 Transformers it was amazing to see OE6wOGQF4kc-00272-00070848-00071044 things that you would do down there OE6wOGQF4kc-00273-00071045-00071206 could do OE6wOGQF4kc-00274-00071207-00071447 after a stint in the army former tobacco OE6wOGQF4kc-00275-00071448-00071693 farmer Abner Jacobs went to work at the OE6wOGQF4kc-00276-00071694-00072071 lower Dam Leesville in 1961. I OE6wOGQF4kc-00277-00072072-00072335 transferred to the concrete lab OE6wOGQF4kc-00278-00072336-00072665 just Smith Mountain Dam it was seven OE6wOGQF4kc-00279-00072666-00073019 employees worked at concrete lab four on OE6wOGQF4kc-00280-00073020-00073481 a date shift at three at night and I OE6wOGQF4kc-00281-00073482-00073835 worked at night I would make up concrete OE6wOGQF4kc-00282-00073836-00074176 cylinders we will test those cylinders OE6wOGQF4kc-00283-00074177-00074669 to see if the PSI was okay the concrete OE6wOGQF4kc-00284-00074670-00074879 was tested for strength in intervals of OE6wOGQF4kc-00285-00074880-00075437 7 14 and 28 days as well as six months OE6wOGQF4kc-00286-00075438-00075623 for several of the staff in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00287-00075624-00075785 Construction office working at the dam OE6wOGQF4kc-00288-00075786-00076049 was one of their first jobs and for some OE6wOGQF4kc-00289-00076050-00076421 it put them on a lifelong career path it OE6wOGQF4kc-00290-00076422-00076691 was amazing how many people in Franklin OE6wOGQF4kc-00291-00076692-00077003 County got a job and then went on and OE6wOGQF4kc-00292-00077004-00077255 used it for the rest of their life what OE6wOGQF4kc-00293-00077256-00077500 they were taught down at the dam site I OE6wOGQF4kc-00294-00077501-00077849 don't think we knew at the time what the OE6wOGQF4kc-00295-00077850-00078047 dam really was going to mean to Franklin OE6wOGQF4kc-00296-00078048-00078335 County and the surrounding areas I don't OE6wOGQF4kc-00297-00078336-00078700 think nobody had had the vision to see OE6wOGQF4kc-00298-00078701-00078887 what was going to happen with the OE6wOGQF4kc-00299-00078888-00079175 results of it and it's marvelous I had OE6wOGQF4kc-00300-00079176-00079456 worked a little bit in surveying with a OE6wOGQF4kc-00301-00079457-00079853 local surveyor in Rocky Mount Virginia OE6wOGQF4kc-00302-00079854-00080165 I knew enough to be dangerous I guess so OE6wOGQF4kc-00303-00080166-00080485 I was hired in in the survey team OE6wOGQF4kc-00304-00080486-00080831 surveying different parts of the dam as OE6wOGQF4kc-00305-00080832-00081167 it was constructed very interesting OE6wOGQF4kc-00306-00081168-00081491 we kind of work as a group out of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00307-00081492-00081719 construction office and made a lot of OE6wOGQF4kc-00308-00081720-00081899 good friends it was just a good job OE6wOGQF4kc-00309-00081900-00082097 because I was a local kid just starting OE6wOGQF4kc-00310-00082098-00082367 out and it was a little different than OE6wOGQF4kc-00311-00082368-00082588 going to work at one of your local OE6wOGQF4kc-00312-00082589-00082865 factors and what have you JD Butler OE6wOGQF4kc-00313-00082866-00083129 worked as a time keeper each one of us OE6wOGQF4kc-00314-00083130-00083291 had so many OE6wOGQF4kc-00315-00083292-00083591 me and we had to look after each day if OE6wOGQF4kc-00316-00083592-00083794 they worked 10 hours 12 hours you had to OE6wOGQF4kc-00317-00083795-00084029 be there with them each time made Moves OE6wOGQF4kc-00318-00084030-00084173 you had to change the description what OE6wOGQF4kc-00319-00084174-00084311 they was doing OE6wOGQF4kc-00320-00084312-00084521 unless they worked in the same place you OE6wOGQF4kc-00321-00084522-00084694 know all day long and after a while you OE6wOGQF4kc-00322-00084695-00084923 got to know got to be good friends with OE6wOGQF4kc-00323-00084924-00085085 all of them and they you know they OE6wOGQF4kc-00324-00085086-00085211 treated you just like you would want OE6wOGQF4kc-00325-00085212-00085571 them to tell you to him the ones I had OE6wOGQF4kc-00326-00085572-00085841 were the general contractor they were OE6wOGQF4kc-00327-00085842-00086044 the ones who were actually building the OE6wOGQF4kc-00328-00086045-00086255 dam itself which took care of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00329-00086256-00086591 building the forms to take care of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00330-00086592-00086819 concrete when they poured it OE6wOGQF4kc-00331-00086820-00087167 then I had the electricians which took OE6wOGQF4kc-00332-00087168-00087437 care of the putting in the conduit and OE6wOGQF4kc-00333-00087438-00087694 wiring and stuff which went in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00334-00087695-00087899 concrete when it was poured and OE6wOGQF4kc-00335-00087900-00088217 transferred down to the office OE6wOGQF4kc-00336-00088218-00088468 where I worked in the cost accounting OE6wOGQF4kc-00337-00088469-00088805 office I would compile the manned hours OE6wOGQF4kc-00338-00088806-00089050 where the time Cape was OE6wOGQF4kc-00339-00089051-00089303 bring in from out where they was Keeping OE6wOGQF4kc-00340-00089304-00089476 Up with the time of the people working OE6wOGQF4kc-00341-00089477-00089779 on the dam I would take that information OE6wOGQF4kc-00342-00089780-00090173 compile it on a sheet how much money we OE6wOGQF4kc-00343-00090174-00090335 was going to owe that particular OE6wOGQF4kc-00344-00090336-00090617 contractor for that given month OE6wOGQF4kc-00345-00090618-00090988 it was a construction site but the girls OE6wOGQF4kc-00346-00090989-00091205 that worked there and even the men in OE6wOGQF4kc-00347-00091206-00091481 the office they dressed up and the girls OE6wOGQF4kc-00348-00091482-00091703 dressed up with no such thing as blue OE6wOGQF4kc-00349-00091704-00092026 jeans I was secretary to the resident OE6wOGQF4kc-00350-00092027-00092359 engineer Earl Snodgrass Appalachian OE6wOGQF4kc-00351-00092360-00092699 benefited me in so many ways OE6wOGQF4kc-00352-00092700-00092993 the engineers just taught me so much OE6wOGQF4kc-00353-00092994-00093299 about their jobs it was to me better OE6wOGQF4kc-00354-00093300-00093544 than a college education because I had OE6wOGQF4kc-00355-00093545-00093761 this job and learned from the civil OE6wOGQF4kc-00356-00093762-00094031 engineers rode in the helicopter with OE6wOGQF4kc-00357-00094032-00094206 the civil engineer OE6wOGQF4kc-00358-00094207-00094494 and I would take dictation OE6wOGQF4kc-00359-00094495-00094853 as he was photographing and looking at OE6wOGQF4kc-00360-00094854-00095111 the job site where the land was going to OE6wOGQF4kc-00361-00095112-00095381 be under water I even got to go under OE6wOGQF4kc-00362-00095382-00095579 Hills Ford bridge when it was finished OE6wOGQF4kc-00363-00095580-00095788 the helicopter went onto the bridge OE6wOGQF4kc-00364-00095789-00096059 before it filled up of course so it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00365-00096060-00096406 just wonderful and here I am I have my OE6wOGQF4kc-00366-00096407-00096617 own construction company now so it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00367-00096618-00096875 very very instrumental to me OE6wOGQF4kc-00368-00096876-00097109 Joyce Kreider worked at the dam as a OE6wOGQF4kc-00369-00097110-00097349 clerk typist then became the bookkeeper OE6wOGQF4kc-00370-00097350-00097618 dealing with millions of dollars I was OE6wOGQF4kc-00371-00097619-00097943 asked to go to be the bookkeeper and it OE6wOGQF4kc-00372-00097944-00098176 was quite something because I had had OE6wOGQF4kc-00373-00098177-00098435 bookkeeping type in shorthand in high OE6wOGQF4kc-00374-00098436-00098656 school but I had to be trained by her OE6wOGQF4kc-00375-00098657-00098962 and I wrote it all in a shorthand tablet OE6wOGQF4kc-00376-00098963-00099149 my notes because she was leaving there OE6wOGQF4kc-00377-00099150-00099365 was nobody there to show me it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00378-00099366-00099556 interesting because once I entered OE6wOGQF4kc-00379-00099557-00099749 everything the first month without her OE6wOGQF4kc-00380-00099750-00099953 you push a button and if it doesn't come OE6wOGQF4kc-00381-00099954-00100211 up zero but it did OE6wOGQF4kc-00382-00100212-00100493 but I loved it I loved it OE6wOGQF4kc-00383-00100494-00100793 Mr Snodgrass was our resident engineer OE6wOGQF4kc-00384-00100794-00101093 and we loved him and he was so good to OE6wOGQF4kc-00385-00101094-00101453 us he told us girls you got you got my OE6wOGQF4kc-00386-00101454-00101567 permission OE6wOGQF4kc-00387-00101568-00101831 to wear shorts and he said we're going OE6wOGQF4kc-00388-00101832-00102065 to take you on a boat ride and it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00389-00102066-00102353 wonderful to be able to see all of that OE6wOGQF4kc-00390-00102354-00102575 water and and to be on it that's the OE6wOGQF4kc-00391-00102576-00102766 first time I'd seen all of that since OE6wOGQF4kc-00392-00102767-00102977 I've been working there and I've been OE6wOGQF4kc-00393-00102978-00103151 working that five years at that time OE6wOGQF4kc-00394-00103152-00103421 many of the staff carpooled to get to OE6wOGQF4kc-00395-00103422-00103739 work at the dam Appalachian had a OE6wOGQF4kc-00396-00103740-00104032 Fleet of station wagons that picked OE6wOGQF4kc-00397-00104033-00104332 people up all over Franklin County and OE6wOGQF4kc-00398-00104333-00104465 drove them OE6wOGQF4kc-00399-00104466-00104794 in a carpool to work and brought us home OE6wOGQF4kc-00400-00104795-00105047 in the afternoon it was very nice to OE6wOGQF4kc-00401-00105048-00105340 have that because keep in mind we were OE6wOGQF4kc-00402-00105341-00105599 at a construction site and it was Dusty OE6wOGQF4kc-00403-00105600-00105802 very dirty OE6wOGQF4kc-00404-00105803-00106121 and when it rained it was muddy and when OE6wOGQF4kc-00405-00106122-00106373 it rained a lot it was really muddy it OE6wOGQF4kc-00406-00106374-00106799 took about 45 minutes maybe or 50 from OE6wOGQF4kc-00407-00106800-00107093 Rocky Mount to get to the dam site OE6wOGQF4kc-00408-00107094-00107573 so it was that was fun as well riding OE6wOGQF4kc-00409-00107574-00107783 back and forth with them OE6wOGQF4kc-00410-00107783-00108040 workers at the dam site had company in OE6wOGQF4kc-00411-00108041-00108269 the form of local wildlife OE6wOGQF4kc-00412-00108270-00108478 we had a wild goat there OE6wOGQF4kc-00413-00108479-00108790 on the mountain and he was quite an OE6wOGQF4kc-00414-00108791-00109073 attraction for the people but you didn't OE6wOGQF4kc-00415-00109074-00109289 seem too often until we put a nanny goat OE6wOGQF4kc-00416-00109290-00109384 up there OE6wOGQF4kc-00417-00109385-00109643 then we had little goats that Old Goat OE6wOGQF4kc-00418-00109644-00109931 he was he was quite a character you know OE6wOGQF4kc-00419-00109932-00110110 when you work in an office I don't care OE6wOGQF4kc-00420-00110111-00110363 where it is where it was then or now if OE6wOGQF4kc-00421-00110364-00110536 somebody comes in and says something OE6wOGQF4kc-00422-00110538-00110807 unused oh you see us outside and OE6wOGQF4kc-00423-00110808-00110993 everybody gets up and goes out so we OE6wOGQF4kc-00424-00110994-00111227 would go out to the front door if the OE6wOGQF4kc-00425-00111228-00111610 goat was out there I saw the goat many OE6wOGQF4kc-00426-00111611-00111707 times OE6wOGQF4kc-00427-00111708-00112043 many times he used to come out on up on OE6wOGQF4kc-00428-00112044-00112223 top of the mountain up on a rock and OE6wOGQF4kc-00429-00112224-00112373 what have you and just kind of watching OE6wOGQF4kc-00430-00112374-00112486 the evenings OE6wOGQF4kc-00431-00112488-00112877 one time the goat started down on the OE6wOGQF4kc-00432-00112878-00113093 pole where they was pulling concrete OE6wOGQF4kc-00433-00113094-00113495 which is probably up 150 feet above the OE6wOGQF4kc-00434-00113496-00113813 riverbed and some of the people got the OE6wOGQF4kc-00435-00113814-00114089 bright idea that they was going to run OE6wOGQF4kc-00436-00114090-00114431 that goat off of that down OE6wOGQF4kc-00437-00114432-00114851 wrong the yolk got mad and came down and OE6wOGQF4kc-00438-00114852-00115097 ran everybody off OE6wOGQF4kc-00439-00115098-00115525 because it didn't like to know us OE6wOGQF4kc-00440-00115526-00115781 simultaneously while both dams were OE6wOGQF4kc-00441-00115782-00115960 under construction land was being OE6wOGQF4kc-00442-00115961-00116236 prepared for the reservoirs a key part OE6wOGQF4kc-00443-00116238-00116428 of that was the three-year Cemetery OE6wOGQF4kc-00444-00116429-00116621 relocation project OE6wOGQF4kc-00445-00116622-00116843 Appalachian employs Herbert Taylor and OE6wOGQF4kc-00446-00116844-00117149 Curtis Roberson scoured the area many OE6wOGQF4kc-00447-00117150-00117358 times dealing with rough terrain and OE6wOGQF4kc-00448-00117359-00117623 land choked with Briars Honeysuckle and OE6wOGQF4kc-00449-00117624-00117910 Periwinkle in the report Roberson filed OE6wOGQF4kc-00450-00117911-00118090 with Appalachian on the project he OE6wOGQF4kc-00451-00118091-00118271 writes that many of the graves were on OE6wOGQF4kc-00452-00118272-00118516 former Family Farms in plots that had OE6wOGQF4kc-00453-00118517-00118775 long been abandoned and forgotten they OE6wOGQF4kc-00454-00118776-00118966 had to avoid the snakes and the ticks OE6wOGQF4kc-00455-00118967-00119165 and the barking dogs and figure out OE6wOGQF4kc-00456-00119166-00119399 whose property this was and that kind of OE6wOGQF4kc-00457-00119400-00119633 thing and figure out is there a cemetery OE6wOGQF4kc-00458-00119633-00119734 here and then they would find OE6wOGQF4kc-00459-00119735-00119951 fieldstones they would find sunken OE6wOGQF4kc-00460-00119952-00120089 Graves they would find all these things OE6wOGQF4kc-00461-00120090-00120299 and then he would go through the process OE6wOGQF4kc-00462-00120300-00120508 of researching it so we'd go to the OE6wOGQF4kc-00463-00120509-00120677 Deeds figure out who owned the property OE6wOGQF4kc-00464-00120678-00120904 at any given time and try to find the OE6wOGQF4kc-00465-00120905-00121115 families he would interview neighbors OE6wOGQF4kc-00466-00121116-00121319 who'd been there for a long time OE6wOGQF4kc-00467-00121320-00121540 trying to figure out okay who lived here OE6wOGQF4kc-00468-00121541-00121733 last he would then kind of contact OE6wOGQF4kc-00469-00121733-00121949 people and say okay it seems like your OE6wOGQF4kc-00470-00121950-00122236 ancestor might be buried here do you OE6wOGQF4kc-00471-00122238-00122465 want us to move your ancestor OE6wOGQF4kc-00472-00122466-00122627 they had contacted a lot of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00473-00122628-00122789 different churches in the area OE6wOGQF4kc-00474-00122790-00123040 most of the churches were on Higher OE6wOGQF4kc-00475-00123041-00123263 Ground like Stanton Baptist for example OE6wOGQF4kc-00476-00123264-00123581 or Patmos Methodist so there's a lot of OE6wOGQF4kc-00477-00123582-00123790 the people especially those that are OE6wOGQF4kc-00478-00123791-00124031 unmarked that were relocated to these OE6wOGQF4kc-00479-00124032-00124277 neighboring churches Bedford County

Lakes I started out in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00509-00130920-00131116 engineering department working with the OE6wOGQF4kc-00510-00131117-00131411 engineering survey guys at one point we OE6wOGQF4kc-00511-00131412-00131633 went up on the reservoir and took a OE6wOGQF4kc-00512-00131634-00131873 little camping trailer and had job for OE6wOGQF4kc-00513-00131874-00132089 the next year was to check the OE6wOGQF4kc-00514-00132090-00132311 contractor that was doing the clearing OE6wOGQF4kc-00515-00132312-00132635 around the lake that he was in the right OE6wOGQF4kc-00516-00132636-00132773 area and OE6wOGQF4kc-00517-00132774-00133061 clearing the right land around it where OE6wOGQF4kc-00518-00133062-00133223 the water was coming to and what have OE6wOGQF4kc-00519-00133224-00133439 you and they cleaned out all the way OE6wOGQF4kc-00520-00133440-00133673 around this Lake they only cleaned down OE6wOGQF4kc-00521-00133674-00133919 so far they didn't go to the bombardment OE6wOGQF4kc-00522-00133920-00134111 until their trees and everything in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00523-00134112-00134309 bottom of the lake we you know could see OE6wOGQF4kc-00524-00134310-00134578 all that going on there was a certain OE6wOGQF4kc-00525-00134579-00134963 clearing level with from the ultimate OE6wOGQF4kc-00526-00134964-00135371 level of the water down about 28 feet OE6wOGQF4kc-00527-00135372-00135628 that was totally cleared the trees were OE6wOGQF4kc-00528-00135629-00135887 topped if they were above that level and OE6wOGQF4kc-00529-00135888-00136151 other than that those trees are still in OE6wOGQF4kc-00530-00136152-00136264 there I guess OE6wOGQF4kc-00531-00136265-00136564 it was done with with bulldozers and in OE6wOGQF4kc-00532-00136565-00136781 loaders whatever it took to cut the OE6wOGQF4kc-00533-00136782-00137014 trees and bulldoze it up and that's OE6wOGQF4kc-00534-00137015-00137147 pretty much what they did all the way OE6wOGQF4kc-00535-00137148-00137321 around the lake except you know there OE6wOGQF4kc-00536-00137322-00137609 were some places which is very Steep and OE6wOGQF4kc-00537-00137610-00137831 Rocky that you couldn't take bulldozers OE6wOGQF4kc-00538-00137832-00137969 or what have you but the vegetation OE6wOGQF4kc-00539-00137970-00138287 stuff was cut rounded we were up in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00540-00138288-00138593 reservoir running the contour line which OE6wOGQF4kc-00541-00138594-00138881 was to be cleared for the water to come OE6wOGQF4kc-00542-00138882-00139045 up to the OE6wOGQF4kc-00543-00139046-00139307 projected level and I fortunately it did OE6wOGQF4kc-00544-00139308-00139559 it worked out real good I've heard OE6wOGQF4kc-00545-00139560-00139787 people comment that they were surprised OE6wOGQF4kc-00546-00139788-00140069 they built docks in the woods before the OE6wOGQF4kc-00547-00140070-00140302 water came up you know and it came right OE6wOGQF4kc-00548-00140303-00140585 up to them I can remember growing up it OE6wOGQF4kc-00549-00140586-00140821 was always a treat on Sunday afternoon OE6wOGQF4kc-00550-00140822-00141083 to ride down see what they were doing OE6wOGQF4kc-00551-00141084-00141437 you know you had these hillsides that OE6wOGQF4kc-00552-00141438-00141664 were scraped down then you had the Hills OE6wOGQF4kc-00553-00141665-00141989 Ford Bridge which was so tall compared OE6wOGQF4kc-00554-00141990-00142349 to the bridge prior to that time but it OE6wOGQF4kc-00555-00142350-00142552 was a sight to see for people like us OE6wOGQF4kc-00556-00142553-00142859 that had not ever seen anything of this OE6wOGQF4kc-00557-00142860-00143104 magnitude taking place in our back door OE6wOGQF4kc-00558-00143105-00143387 here as part of the Smith Mountain Lake OE6wOGQF4kc-00559-00143388-00143759 Project 22 miles of new roads were built OE6wOGQF4kc-00560-00143760-00144083 as well as six Bridges including Hardy OE6wOGQF4kc-00561-00144084-00144413 Road OE6wOGQF4kc-00562-00144414-00144719 Brooks Mill OE6wOGQF4kc-00563-00144720-00145193 toller's Ferry OE6wOGQF4kc-00564-00145194-00145469 and Hales Ford OE6wOGQF4kc-00565-00145470-00145714 I was very fortunate growing up that my OE6wOGQF4kc-00566-00145715-00145919 dad worked for Appalachian Power company OE6wOGQF4kc-00567-00145920-00146171 and he would load us up in the car on OE6wOGQF4kc-00568-00146172-00146369 Saturdays and he would start driving us OE6wOGQF4kc-00569-00146370-00146614 around and there was no water in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00570-00146615-00146771 lake of course at that time and he would OE6wOGQF4kc-00571-00146772-00147047 say okay now when the lake fills up this OE6wOGQF4kc-00572-00147048-00147245 house is going to be under the water or OE6wOGQF4kc-00573-00147246-00147395 this Farm is going to be under the water OE6wOGQF4kc-00574-00147396-00147689 he would drive us up certain roads and OE6wOGQF4kc-00575-00147690-00147904 he would say okay you know this is not OE6wOGQF4kc-00576-00147905-00148127 going to be here once the dam fills up OE6wOGQF4kc-00577-00148128-00148397 one of the Smith family's trips was OE6wOGQF4kc-00578-00148398-00148690 captured on film it's my sister my mom OE6wOGQF4kc-00579-00148691-00148877 and myself and we're sitting under OE6wOGQF4kc-00580-00148878-00149116 halesford bridge it had just been OE6wOGQF4kc-00581-00149117-00149435 completed mom sitting on a bale of hay OE6wOGQF4kc-00582-00149436-00149759 we're having our picnic and it was just OE6wOGQF4kc-00583-00149760-00149981 a great there was no water no water in OE6wOGQF4kc-00584-00149982-00150466 the lake at that point in time foreign OE6wOGQF4kc-00585-00150467-00150869 on September 20th 1963 the gates at OE6wOGQF4kc-00586-00150870-00151133 Smith Mountain Dam were closed and the OE6wOGQF4kc-00587-00151134-00151414 water began Rising each time you would OE6wOGQF4kc-00588-00151415-00151607 visit it was higher and higher and OE6wOGQF4kc-00589-00151608-00151847 higher and then you begin to see like OE6wOGQF4kc-00590-00151848-00152087 the old bridge and all that those OE6wOGQF4kc-00591-00152088-00152321 landmarks disappeared OE6wOGQF4kc-00592-00152322-00152687 we saw the water flow back on this OE6wOGQF4kc-00593-00152688-00153083 property just a few days after they OE6wOGQF4kc-00594-00153084-00153401 closed the dam you know OE6wOGQF4kc-00595-00153402-00153569 and OE6wOGQF4kc-00596-00153570-00154043 my husband had tears OE6wOGQF4kc-00597-00154044-00154564 and it's fun to have many years 50 years OE6wOGQF4kc-00598-00154565-00154721 it makes you sad OE6wOGQF4kc-00599-00154722-00155149 [Music] OE6wOGQF4kc-00600-00155150-00155459 watching the smoke and the debris all OE6wOGQF4kc-00601-00155460-00155657 over the area was something to see when OE6wOGQF4kc-00602-00155658-00155878 they were clearing and then watching it OE6wOGQF4kc-00603-00155879-00156107 light back up and the skimmers were just OE6wOGQF4kc-00604-00156108-00156323 constantly working for about three years OE6wOGQF4kc-00605-00156324-00156587 picking up that debris that floated up OE6wOGQF4kc-00606-00156588-00156887 when we wanted to go swimming we would OE6wOGQF4kc-00607-00156888-00157073 use that to push the debris out of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00608-00157074-00157378 way but the water was was wonderful and OE6wOGQF4kc-00609-00157379-00157643 it was a wonderful thing to see OE6wOGQF4kc-00610-00157644-00157919 but at the same time it was a sad thing OE6wOGQF4kc-00611-00157920-00158213 to see covering up our riverbeds and OE6wOGQF4kc-00612-00158214-00158357 things that we had such a great OE6wOGQF4kc-00613-00158358-00158519 childhood out OE6wOGQF4kc-00614-00158520-00158740 we used to swim up by the old four days OE6wOGQF4kc-00615-00158741-00158993 and halfway up OE6wOGQF4kc-00616-00158994-00159178 you can swim out there and get in a tree OE6wOGQF4kc-00617-00159179-00159640 limb sit on a tree limb if you wanted to OE6wOGQF4kc-00618-00159641-00159899 as the lake was filling up we would sail OE6wOGQF4kc-00619-00159900-00160216 with the permission to the Bernards OE6wOGQF4kc-00620-00160217-00160463 right in their cow field OE6wOGQF4kc-00621-00160464-00160702 and we'd use a state road and it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00622-00160703-00160864 kind of interesting because week after OE6wOGQF4kc-00623-00160865-00161147 week we'd bring our trailered sailboats OE6wOGQF4kc-00624-00161148-00161399 we just use the road OE6wOGQF4kc-00625-00161400-00161578 and the road slowly OE6wOGQF4kc-00626-00161579-00161866 surely disappearing as the lake levels OE6wOGQF4kc-00627-00161867-00162125 Rose and that was our OE6wOGQF4kc-00628-00162126-00162371 half mile long launching ramp OE6wOGQF4kc-00629-00162372-00162593 and we got to see the lake actually fill OE6wOGQF4kc-00630-00162594-00162793 up and one of the neatest things was OE6wOGQF4kc-00631-00162794-00163073 sailing through the Treetops OE6wOGQF4kc-00632-00163074-00163247 when the lake was like 50 feet lower OE6wOGQF4kc-00633-00163248-00163390 than it is now OE6wOGQF4kc-00634-00163391-00163661 my best friend her family moved from OE6wOGQF4kc-00635-00163662-00163889 Philpot Lake to Smith Mountain Lake on OE6wOGQF4kc-00636-00163890-00164135 the very year that it filled up and we OE6wOGQF4kc-00637-00164136-00164314 would go out there and water ski in OE6wOGQF4kc-00638-00164315-00164566 between the Treetops whatever else was OE6wOGQF4kc-00639-00164567-00164747 floating out there in the lake at that OE6wOGQF4kc-00640-00164748-00164921 point in time but we had a wonderful OE6wOGQF4kc-00641-00164922-00165113 time and I wouldn't trade those years OE6wOGQF4kc-00642-00165114-00165325 for anything OE6wOGQF4kc-00643-00165326-00165678 Smith Mountain Lake reached full pond OE6wOGQF4kc-00644-00165679-00166121 795 feet above sea level at 503 a.m on

I put a pile drive on the late OE6wOGQF4kc-00685-00177236-00177671 1967. I bought this place in 1968 and OE6wOGQF4kc-00686-00177672-00177904 built it and we opened it in the spring OE6wOGQF4kc-00687-00177905-00178276 of 69. it was a little space a field and OE6wOGQF4kc-00688-00178277-00178481 the rest was trees OE6wOGQF4kc-00689-00178482-00178697 nothing else was here there was nobody OE6wOGQF4kc-00690-00178698-00178901 on the road coming down here OE6wOGQF4kc-00691-00178902-00179099 in fact when we first started coming OE6wOGQF4kc-00692-00179100-00179314 once you turn it off of Route 40 with OE6wOGQF4kc-00693-00179315-00179519 dirt roads and that's about three miles OE6wOGQF4kc-00694-00179520-00179825 from here to 40. there was woods and a OE6wOGQF4kc-00695-00179826-00180004 few Fields I drove down the edge of a OE6wOGQF4kc-00696-00180005-00180251 field to get in here when I brought the OE6wOGQF4kc-00697-00180252-00180490 metal in for that building behind me OE6wOGQF4kc-00698-00180491-00180688 a farmer pulled me in here with his OE6wOGQF4kc-00699-00180689-00180928 tractor and I had mud up on top of a 66 OE6wOGQF4kc-00700-00180929-00181121 Chevrolet's Hood OE6wOGQF4kc-00701-00181122-00181373 had the medal on a trailer the OE6wOGQF4kc-00702-00181374-00181709 Farmers thought we were crazy we paid a OE6wOGQF4kc-00703-00181710-00181890 thousand dollars per acre for the land OE6wOGQF4kc-00704-00181891-00182152 and the farmers here thought we were OE6wOGQF4kc-00705-00182153-00182359 totally out of a mine OE6wOGQF4kc-00706-00182360-00182704 including a banker OE6wOGQF4kc-00707-00182705-00182981 but we took the plunge OE6wOGQF4kc-00708-00182982-00183190 and I bought the land and started OE6wOGQF4kc-00709-00183191-00183347 building the marina OE6wOGQF4kc-00710-00183348-00183557 my kids grew up with a life jacket home OE6wOGQF4kc-00711-00183558-00183863 we lived above the marina when we built OE6wOGQF4kc-00712-00183864-00184102 the marina and my first son was there OE6wOGQF4kc-00713-00184103-00184288 and so if he wanted to go outside he OE6wOGQF4kc-00714-00184289-00184445 would run and get his life jacket a hand OE6wOGQF4kc-00715-00184446-00184576 to me to put it on before he went OE6wOGQF4kc-00716-00184577-00184871 outside and he even played in the snow OE6wOGQF4kc-00717-00184872-00185093 with a life jacket on her he would slide OE6wOGQF4kc-00718-00185094-00185275 down on it like the flat OE6wOGQF4kc-00719-00185276-00185585 over the years the Marina has continued OE6wOGQF4kc-00720-00185586-00185854 to grow from having boats moored with OE6wOGQF4kc-00721-00185855-00186071 tires in the Cove to what it is today OE6wOGQF4kc-00722-00186072-00186454 people got bigger boats and we built OE6wOGQF4kc-00723-00186455-00186688 slips for 14-foot boats and all of a OE6wOGQF4kc-00724-00186689-00186881 sudden we had 18-foot boats and we built OE6wOGQF4kc-00725-00186882-00187043 slips for 18-foot boats and all of a OE6wOGQF4kc-00726-00187044-00187354 sudden had 25 foot boats so you just had OE6wOGQF4kc-00727-00187355-00187571 to constantly change with the times OE6wOGQF4kc-00728-00187572-00187823 and rebuild and build again and so forth OE6wOGQF4kc-00729-00187824-00187943 and that's what makes it hard now OE6wOGQF4kc-00730-00187944-00188207 because you can't at will just change OE6wOGQF4kc-00731-00188208-00188411 with with the market OE6wOGQF4kc-00732-00188412-00188728 it's still a beautiful place it's a good OE6wOGQF4kc-00733-00188729-00188885 place to raise your family OE6wOGQF4kc-00734-00188886-00189004 [Music] OE6wOGQF4kc-00735-00189005-00189245 it was the idea of raising a family on OE6wOGQF4kc-00736-00189246-00189437 the lake that Drew the Zahn family to OE6wOGQF4kc-00737-00189438-00189701 Pelican Point originally opened by Mr OE6wOGQF4kc-00738-00189702-00189935 and Mrs Bill Giles grading for the OE6wOGQF4kc-00739-00189936-00190121 campground began while the lake was OE6wOGQF4kc-00740-00190122-00190409 still filling we came here in 1974 I was OE6wOGQF4kc-00741-00190410-00190631 16 years old we were living in Oak Ridge OE6wOGQF4kc-00742-00190632-00190775 Tennessee my father was a nuclear OE6wOGQF4kc-00743-00190776-00191069 physicist and he wanted to get out of OE6wOGQF4kc-00744-00191070-00191231 that line of work to do something that OE6wOGQF4kc-00745-00191232-00191381 was more family oriented for us OE6wOGQF4kc-00746-00191382-00191635 something outdoorsy so my grandfather OE6wOGQF4kc-00747-00191636-00191999 lived in Lyndhurst New Jersey and he saw OE6wOGQF4kc-00748-00192000-00192251 Pelican Point advertised in the Wall OE6wOGQF4kc-00749-00192252-00192383 Street Journal OE6wOGQF4kc-00750-00192384-00192569 so that's how we found it OE6wOGQF4kc-00751-00192570-00192731 I was excited about the move because OE6wOGQF4kc-00752-00192732-00192935 I've always liked change and I lived in OE6wOGQF4kc-00753-00192936-00193066 a tent the first year that we were here OE6wOGQF4kc-00754-00193067-00193235 and a two-man tent because there was no OE6wOGQF4kc-00755-00193236-00193421 place for me to live all these houses OE6wOGQF4kc-00756-00193422-00193601 that you see everywhere they weren't OE6wOGQF4kc-00757-00193602-00193811 here you know we had maybe some trailers OE6wOGQF4kc-00758-00193812-00193985 across the way that kind of thing it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00759-00193986-00194351 very quiet we sold bait and had our OE6wOGQF4kc-00760-00194352-00194578 little grocery store up the hill and our OE6wOGQF4kc-00761-00194579-00194776 campsites range from three dollars I OE6wOGQF4kc-00762-00194777-00194914 think the most expensive one was maybe OE6wOGQF4kc-00763-00194915-00195137 five or six dollars so big difference OE6wOGQF4kc-00764-00195138-00195454 the zon family had a passion for sailing OE6wOGQF4kc-00765-00195455-00195683 they extended that interest to others in OE6wOGQF4kc-00766-00195684-00195845 the region with boat shows at the OE6wOGQF4kc-00767-00195846-00196073 Roanoke Civic Center in the beginning we OE6wOGQF4kc-00768-00196074-00196271 would go to the Civic Center there and OE6wOGQF4kc-00769-00196272-00196463 be parked out in the parking lot and OE6wOGQF4kc-00770-00196464-00196721 we'd prepare for weeks washing boats and OE6wOGQF4kc-00771-00196722-00196888 waxing but we had to be outside because OE6wOGQF4kc-00772-00196889-00197009 we couldn't get all the boats all the OE6wOGQF4kc-00773-00197010-00197219 masts inside OE6wOGQF4kc-00774-00197220-00197483 it was that love of sailing that changed OE6wOGQF4kc-00775-00197484-00197735 Pelican Point from a campground to what OE6wOGQF4kc-00776-00197736-00198047 it is today in 1981 they changed it to OE6wOGQF4kc-00777-00198048-00198293 Pelican Point Sailing Center then we OE6wOGQF4kc-00778-00198294-00198485 were just just sailboats no power boats OE6wOGQF4kc-00779-00198486-00198649 at that time and then as time went along OE6wOGQF4kc-00780-00198650-00198904 started building the clubhouse you know OE6wOGQF4kc-00781-00198905-00199037 in the pool all these things came along OE6wOGQF4kc-00782-00199038-00199325 at different times then in 1985 it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00783-00199326-00199528 Pelican Point Yacht Club OE6wOGQF4kc-00784-00199529-00199804 my parents built this and it's OE6wOGQF4kc-00785-00199805-00199990 I want to get teary but you know people OE6wOGQF4kc-00786-00199991-00200183 come to me all the time and tell me how OE6wOGQF4kc-00787-00200184-00200309 wonderful it is and what a beautiful OE6wOGQF4kc-00788-00200310-00200459 place it is I keep hearing all the time OE6wOGQF4kc-00789-00200460-00200626 it's the best kept secret on the lake OE6wOGQF4kc-00790-00200627-00200795 and it is it's a beautiful place and the OE6wOGQF4kc-00791-00200796-00200969 lake is still still beautiful we need to OE6wOGQF4kc-00792-00200970-00201083 take care of it OE6wOGQF4kc-00793-00201084-00201257 you know and make sure that it stays OE6wOGQF4kc-00794-00201258-00201569 nice and we don't abuse it but um it's OE6wOGQF4kc-00795-00201570-00201797 my heart I love it here OE6wOGQF4kc-00796-00201798-00202031 others interested in sailing found the OE6wOGQF4kc-00797-00202032-00202276 lake early on the Virginia Inland OE6wOGQF4kc-00798-00202277-00202487 Sailing Association was started by Ray OE6wOGQF4kc-00799-00202488-00202781 Dietz when he transferred to the area we OE6wOGQF4kc-00800-00202782-00203093 arrived in Martinsville and I have been OE6wOGQF4kc-00801-00203094-00203440 sailing since 1949 and we had a 19-foot OE6wOGQF4kc-00802-00203441-00203716 sailboat and the first thing I did was OE6wOGQF4kc-00803-00203717-00203890 look for water OE6wOGQF4kc-00804-00203891-00204209 and there really wasn't much of any and OE6wOGQF4kc-00805-00204210-00204604 I looked who else around here sails so OE6wOGQF4kc-00806-00204605-00204719 myself OE6wOGQF4kc-00807-00204720-00205048 Dr Bondurant and Dr Warren Mormon with OE6wOGQF4kc-00808-00205050-00205258 the three that started the club we OE6wOGQF4kc-00809-00205259-00205607 signed our first lease in December of OE6wOGQF4kc-00810-00205608-00205840 1965. OE6wOGQF4kc-00811-00205841-00206105 that came by that is OE6wOGQF4kc-00812-00206106-00206357 and asked my husband OE6wOGQF4kc-00813-00206358-00206579 if he'd be willing to OE6wOGQF4kc-00814-00206580-00206908 sell some land or cooperate with the OE6wOGQF4kc-00815-00206909-00207046 sailboat club OE6wOGQF4kc-00816-00207048-00207364 my husband said oh yeah we'll just have OE6wOGQF4kc-00817-00207365-00207653 to keep my cattle in OE6wOGQF4kc-00818-00207654-00207898 my father had always been interested in OE6wOGQF4kc-00819-00207900-00208090 sailing and had built a sailboat when he OE6wOGQF4kc-00820-00208091-00208288 was a teenager and I think when the lake OE6wOGQF4kc-00821-00208289-00208534 filled up it was like his greatest dream OE6wOGQF4kc-00822-00208535-00208732 come true because we had wandered around OE6wOGQF4kc-00823-00208733-00208912 in different little small OE6wOGQF4kc-00824-00208913-00209140 literally fish ponds trying to sail with OE6wOGQF4kc-00825-00209141-00209471 little success and so he got into it OE6wOGQF4kc-00826-00209471-00209729 with this sailing group and we all kind OE6wOGQF4kc-00827-00209730-00209842 of loved it it's what we did on the OE6wOGQF4kc-00828-00209844-00210287 weekends in 1969 we had our first OE6wOGQF4kc-00829-00210288-00210484 sailing Camp since

youngsters that are from the inner city OE6wOGQF4kc-00855-00216461-00216689 and high school there where they can OE6wOGQF4kc-00856-00216690-00216898 come and participate not just in sailing OE6wOGQF4kc-00857-00216900-00217084 but some of the other drills that they OE6wOGQF4kc-00858-00217085-00217163 do OE6wOGQF4kc-00859-00217164-00217421 so we're a self-help Club so we do most OE6wOGQF4kc-00860-00217421-00217667 of the work ourselves and so every OE6wOGQF4kc-00861-00217667-00217925 single facility that we have was built OE6wOGQF4kc-00862-00217926-00218146 by our members I was a 12 year old kid OE6wOGQF4kc-00863-00218148-00218387 you know digging footings with picks and OE6wOGQF4kc-00864-00218388-00218603 shovels and everybody working together OE6wOGQF4kc-00865-00218604-00218867 is part of a you know the community of OE6wOGQF4kc-00866-00218867-00219106 sailors was really a lot of fun we came OE6wOGQF4kc-00867-00219107-00219389 down here and we trimmed trees we dug OE6wOGQF4kc-00868-00219390-00219737 holes and we built docks and so it was OE6wOGQF4kc-00869-00219738-00219989 very very much a thing where we involve OE6wOGQF4kc-00870-00219990-00220151 working together as much as playing OE6wOGQF4kc-00871-00220152-00220265 together OE6wOGQF4kc-00872-00220266-00220510 it's just been a wonderful life and it's OE6wOGQF4kc-00873-00220511-00220673 been wonderful OE6wOGQF4kc-00874-00220673-00220991 way to bring up three children and now OE6wOGQF4kc-00875-00220992-00221182 some grandchildren even though they OE6wOGQF4kc-00876-00221183-00221375 don't live close by there's three OE6wOGQF4kc-00877-00221376-00221531 generations OE6wOGQF4kc-00878-00221532-00221915 a family that has learned to sail here OE6wOGQF4kc-00879-00221916-00222125 we've been here for 50 years so we have OE6wOGQF4kc-00880-00222126-00222473 very traditional ideas in our club and OE6wOGQF4kc-00881-00222473-00222677 one of them was that our gate had to be OE6wOGQF4kc-00882-00222678-00223079 locked all day all night all the time OE6wOGQF4kc-00883-00223080-00223265 and someone came and said you know it OE6wOGQF4kc-00884-00223266-00223529 would just be so much easier if we could OE6wOGQF4kc-00885-00223530-00223684 leave our gate open OE6wOGQF4kc-00886-00223685-00224206 and I said what why can't we and most of OE6wOGQF4kc-00887-00224207-00224363 the people there said well it's in our OE6wOGQF4kc-00888-00224364-00224698 lease and we lease from Mrs Bernard she OE6wOGQF4kc-00889-00224700-00224927 is the final Authority so I called her OE6wOGQF4kc-00890-00224928-00225305 and I said flow please tell me do we OE6wOGQF4kc-00891-00225306-00225521 need to keep our gate locked at all OE6wOGQF4kc-00892-00225521-00225832 times she said that's when the cows were OE6wOGQF4kc-00893-00225833-00226198 there and they came and went freely and OE6wOGQF4kc-00894-00226200-00226439 we had to be so careful not to let the OE6wOGQF4kc-00895-00226440-00226642 cows out at that time we had no OE6wOGQF4kc-00896-00226644-00226948 buildings we had docks only only a few OE6wOGQF4kc-00897-00226950-00227323 and the cows sure enough were there OE6wOGQF4kc-00898-00227323-00227632 communities like Monita have experienced OE6wOGQF4kc-00899-00227633-00227825 a lot of change with the coming of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00900-00227826-00228106 lake long time resident Calvin Woodford OE6wOGQF4kc-00901-00228107-00228334 was born on a farm next to where he OE6wOGQF4kc-00902-00228335-00228605 lives now during his career he ran a OE6wOGQF4kc-00903-00228606-00228832 poultry operation raising 90 000 OE6wOGQF4kc-00904-00228833-00229198 broilers and 28 000 laying hens he then OE6wOGQF4kc-00905-00229200-00229481 went on to open an area staple Moneta OE6wOGQF4kc-00906-00229482-00229727 Farm and Home in the early 70s which is OE6wOGQF4kc-00907-00229728-00230003 still run by his family today OE6wOGQF4kc-00908-00230004-00230248 Woodford remembers early newcomers to OE6wOGQF4kc-00909-00230250-00230458 the lake encountering local tobacco OE6wOGQF4kc-00910-00230459-00230555 production OE6wOGQF4kc-00911-00230556-00230860 they would cut it and put it on sticks OE6wOGQF4kc-00912-00230861-00231155 and put it up in there and it was cured OE6wOGQF4kc-00913-00231156-00231275 with smoke OE6wOGQF4kc-00914-00231276-00231491 built a fire OE6wOGQF4kc-00915-00231492-00231784 there's nothing I smoke this roll After OE6wOGQF4kc-00916-00231785-00231971 People moved down here they'd drive up OE6wOGQF4kc-00917-00231971-00232132 the road and see smoke coming out of a OE6wOGQF4kc-00918-00232133-00232427 building they caught a fire to come OE6wOGQF4kc-00919-00232428-00232696 so we had to educate them OE6wOGQF4kc-00920-00232698-00232871 the Moneta fired fire department and OE6wOGQF4kc-00921-00232871-00233129 Moneta medical were both started by the OE6wOGQF4kc-00922-00233130-00233375 veritan club OE6wOGQF4kc-00923-00233376-00233656 60th Mama of the Ruritan Club and I've OE6wOGQF4kc-00924-00233657-00233867 seen it progress OE6wOGQF4kc-00925-00233867-00234148 and without the changes I don't probably OE6wOGQF4kc-00926-00234150-00234406 wouldn't been able to continue the work OE6wOGQF4kc-00927-00234407-00234767 we do we Master mountain and getting a OE6wOGQF4kc-00928-00234767-00235031 good bypass around Monita OE6wOGQF4kc-00929-00235032-00235277 we sat in the back of a pickup for a OE6wOGQF4kc-00930-00235278-00235577 week counting cars and trains to OE6wOGQF4kc-00931-00235578-00235901 convince the VDOT that they needed it by OE6wOGQF4kc-00932-00235902-00236063 then the lake was in and there were OE6wOGQF4kc-00933-00236064-00236260 traffic jams trains would come through OE6wOGQF4kc-00934-00236261-00236963 people would be backed up by half mile OE6wOGQF4kc-00935-00236964-00237281 Farms still along its door the Bernards OE6wOGQF4kc-00936-00237282-00237491 moved to Bedford and the old family home OE6wOGQF4kc-00937-00237492-00237682 would eventually become the Bernard's OE6wOGQF4kc-00938-00237683-00237982 Landing clubhouse however long before OE6wOGQF4kc-00939-00237983-00238192 developers built condos and the lake was OE6wOGQF4kc-00940-00238194-00238415 still new the Bernards built a special OE6wOGQF4kc-00941-00238416-00238589 place to stay OE6wOGQF4kc-00942-00238590-00238865 we call it the little house my husband OE6wOGQF4kc-00943-00238866-00239123 built that before the lake ever came in OE6wOGQF4kc-00944-00239123-00239398 I knew where to build it I don't know OE6wOGQF4kc-00945-00239400-00239789 but he hit it pretty well mom and dads OE6wOGQF4kc-00946-00239790-00239956 and some other people drew it out on a OE6wOGQF4kc-00947-00239957-00240191 paper napkin and he built The Boathouse OE6wOGQF4kc-00948-00240192-00240425 we purchased OE6wOGQF4kc-00949-00240426-00240658 the flow in OE6wOGQF4kc-00950-00240659-00240923 named after our two daughters OE6wOGQF4kc-00951-00240923-00241282 and then we decided to put a little unit OE6wOGQF4kc-00952-00241283-00241408 above OE6wOGQF4kc-00953-00241409-00241589 the bow ties OE6wOGQF4kc-00954-00241590-00241805 and my sister and I would sleep in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00955-00241806-00242008 boat underneath and listen to the waves OE6wOGQF4kc-00956-00242009-00242248 at night so we thought we were cool OE6wOGQF4kc-00957-00242250-00242446 doing that OE6wOGQF4kc-00958-00242448-00242651 and it's still with us I can't believe OE6wOGQF4kc-00959-00242652-00242856 it OE6wOGQF4kc-00960-00242857-00243106 one of the other many farms in the area OE6wOGQF4kc-00961-00243107-00243473 affected by the water was the Jones Farm OE6wOGQF4kc-00962-00243473-00243989 is 248 acres and it Cove you split it OE6wOGQF4kc-00963-00243990-00244348 split it on it's 40 sand makers Plus on OE6wOGQF4kc-00964-00244350-00244619 the other side and 78 something plus OE6wOGQF4kc-00965-00244619-00244925 year they kept the property and they OE6wOGQF4kc-00966-00244926-00245171 just give the Appalachian right to flood OE6wOGQF4kc-00967-00245171-00245356 it they kept it laying all the way to OE6wOGQF4kc-00968-00245357-00245698 the bottom of the lake with the 800 Mark OE6wOGQF4kc-00969-00245700-00245881 come right to the corner of the OE6wOGQF4kc-00970-00245882-00246125 foundation there's probably a couple OE6wOGQF4kc-00971-00246126-00246389 feet from the foundation so when the OE6wOGQF4kc-00972-00246390-00246617 house moves come in to move the back of OE6wOGQF4kc-00973-00246617-00246796 the barns then they decided to go and OE6wOGQF4kc-00974-00246798-00247031 move the house up on top of the hill OE6wOGQF4kc-00975-00247032-00247306 people come in want to know if they can OE6wOGQF4kc-00976-00247307-00247546 rent a lot or could they set up a tent OE6wOGQF4kc-00977-00247548-00247673 or something of them we had some people OE6wOGQF4kc-00978-00247673-00247967 from Murray first of all and started OE6wOGQF4kc-00979-00247967-00248177 renting out there in the yard so the OE6wOGQF4kc-00980-00248178-00248441 house was moved we had lots on both OE6wOGQF4kc-00981-00248442-00248765 sides had a few over here probably 12 15 OE6wOGQF4kc-00982-00248766-00249119 Lots over here and it was probably 75 to OE6wOGQF4kc-00983-00249119-00249353 100 on that side of it like where the OE6wOGQF4kc-00984-00249354-00249713 Cape is now it's kind of you know new to OE6wOGQF4kc-00985-00249714-00249934 all I was around and then everything was OE6wOGQF4kc-00986-00249935-00250103 one of the first when the lake started OE6wOGQF4kc-00987-00250104-00250396 backing up they went to Greensboro and OE6wOGQF4kc-00988-00250398-00250606 bought a boat a lot of the neighbors OE6wOGQF4kc-00989-00250607-00250877 around and the kids would come help OE6wOGQF4kc-00990-00250878-00251279 organic crops to get to go boat ride you OE6wOGQF4kc-00991-00251280-00251508 know we had some good times with OE6wOGQF4kc-00992-00251509-00251632 [Music] OE6wOGQF4kc-00993-00251633-00251831 grew around the lake in the early years OE6wOGQF4kc-00994-00251832-00252106 but the big building boom began in the OE6wOGQF4kc-00995-00252107-00252419 80s it was just so different than it is OE6wOGQF4kc-00996-00252419-00252556 now you know even after the lake OE6wOGQF4kc-00997-00252557-00252863 completely flooded and people gradually OE6wOGQF4kc-00998-00252864-00253001 from the Roanoke and Lynchburg OE6wOGQF4kc-00999-00253002-00253205 Martinsville area began to experience OE6wOGQF4kc-01000-00253206-00253415 hey this is kind of a neat place to go OE6wOGQF4kc-01001-00253416-00253619 but it wasn't an easy place to get to OE6wOGQF4kc-01002-00253619-00253792 our first piece of property was in the OE6wOGQF4kc-01003-00253794-00253937 gills Creek area we had a little OE6wOGQF4kc-01004-00253938-00254158 floating dock and we stayed in a pop-up OE6wOGQF4kc-01005-00254159-00254392 camper that's just the the way life was OE6wOGQF4kc-01006-00254394-00254567 then you really had to prepare to come OE6wOGQF4kc-01007-00254567-00254819 to Smith Mountain Lake for a weekend or OE6wOGQF4kc-01008-00254819-00254987 even a day because there was no OE6wOGQF4kc-01009-00254988-00255208 infrastructure here we used to drive OE6wOGQF4kc-01010-00255209-00255389 from Bedford over here we wouldn't meet OE6wOGQF4kc-01011-00255390-00255658 maybe one vehicle and would be a couple OE6wOGQF4kc-01012-00255659-00255832 little stores OE6wOGQF4kc-01013-00255833-00256175 along the way with Bernard's landing and OE6wOGQF4kc-01014-00256176-00256391 Vista Point arriving on the scene and OE6wOGQF4kc-01015-00256392-00256534 the waterfront that's where the big OE6wOGQF4kc-01016-00256535-00256698 changes really started to take effect OE6wOGQF4kc-01017-00256700-00256967 then things just started to develop and OE6wOGQF4kc-01018-00256967-00257284 grow and that's where we are today a lot OE6wOGQF4kc-01019-00257285-00257405 of change OE6wOGQF4kc-01020-00257406-00257627 when we came there was no Bernards there OE6wOGQF4kc-01021-00257628-00257891 was the Bernard family home and we OE6wOGQF4kc-01022-00257892-00258119 watched those condos on the point go up OE6wOGQF4kc-01023-00258119-00258401 and we were just astonished there's a OE6wOGQF4kc-01024-00258402-00258544 lot more activities now in the lake OE6wOGQF4kc-01025-00258546-00258875 there's swimathons and wine festivals OE6wOGQF4kc-01026-00258876-00259108 and all kinds of Lake centered things OE6wOGQF4kc-01027-00259109-00259241 that are wonderful OE6wOGQF4kc-01028-00259242-00259529 the buildup of commercial and homes OE6wOGQF4kc-01029-00259530-00259792 around it I never envisioned it going OE6wOGQF4kc-01030-00259794-00260032 that far you know particularly the OE6wOGQF4kc-01031-00260033-00260375 what's now called West Lake I mean there OE6wOGQF4kc-01032-00260376-00260639 was actually hardly anything beyond the OE6wOGQF4kc-01033-00260640-00260951 Booker T Washington Memorial and going OE6wOGQF4kc-01034-00260952-00261239 to Scrubs and it was really rude OE6wOGQF4kc-01035-00261240-00261551 a lot of our economy is geared to the OE6wOGQF4kc-01036-00261552-00261851 lake right now and I tell people that OE6wOGQF4kc-01037-00261852-00262163 you know magicians can pull a rabbit out OE6wOGQF4kc-01038-00262164-00262517 of a hat but we did one better Ron OE6wOGQF4kc-01039-00262518-00262895 Willard built a town out of a cow OE6wOGQF4kc-01040-00262896-00262997 pasture OE6wOGQF4kc-01041-00262998-00263182 the first stop lie and then the next OE6wOGQF4kc-01042-00263183-00263453 stop lie and the Home West Lake OE6wOGQF4kc-01043-00263454-00263741 Community there was when we were coming OE6wOGQF4kc-01044-00263742-00263951 down here a filling station on the OE6wOGQF4kc-01045-00263952-00264227 corner where you turned in an Old Brick OE6wOGQF4kc-01046-00264228-00264413 Plantation type house on the other

hiatus OHkfW9iVL04-00008-00001980-00002201 we've got Anna j and peril Dan Sanchez OHkfW9iVL04-00009-00002202-00002372 and Maryanne March welcome everybody OHkfW9iVL04-00010-00002373-00002538 fully fleshed out panel it feels like OHkfW9iVL04-00011-00002539-00002667 it's been a long time since evolved in OHkfW9iVL04-00012-00002668-00003174 the same room together and beautiful but OHkfW9iVL04-00013-00003175-00003459 most importantly Dan's beard 2018 OHkfW9iVL04-00014-00003460-00003720 continues I'm reporting live from the OHkfW9iVL04-00015-00003721-00003918 scene and he looks fantastic and now OHkfW9iVL04-00016-00003919-00004071 we're in no shape November oh yeah OHkfW9iVL04-00017-00004072-00004370 perfect so are there any plans at all to OHkfW9iVL04-00018-00004371-00004626 dispense with the beard once November's OHkfW9iVL04-00019-00004627-00004881 finished or maybe later probably the no OHkfW9iVL04-00020-00004882-00005058 and when it gets warm again it okay yeah OHkfW9iVL04-00021-00005059-00005469 well it looks great for insulation here OHkfW9iVL04-00022-00005470-00005652 in Atlanta you know depends on the OHkfW9iVL04-00023-00005653-00005793 season whether we actually need that or OHkfW9iVL04-00024-00005794-00005919 not but this seems like it might be a OHkfW9iVL04-00025-00005920-00006111 little bit of a cold winter yeah I think OHkfW9iVL04-00026-00006112-00006342 so speaking of winter of course now we OHkfW9iVL04-00027-00006343-00006612 are past Halloween I just took my OHkfW9iVL04-00028-00006613-00006809 Halloween decorations down yesterday oh OHkfW9iVL04-00029-00006811-00007044 boy it's been a little while well we had OHkfW9iVL04-00030-00007045-00007179 the lights up front that we're not OHkfW9iVL04-00031-00007180-00007373 specifically Halloween but they were OHkfW9iVL04-00032-00007375-00007602 close enough so the orange kind of gave OHkfW9iVL04-00033-00007603-00007743 it away a little bit but anyway we are OHkfW9iVL04-00034-00007744-00008009 now fully halfway into November the OHkfW9iVL04-00035-00008011-00008202 holidays are approaching very very OHkfW9iVL04-00036-00008203-00008631 quickly I am going to have in-laws here OHkfW9iVL04-00037-00008632-00008828 in Atlanta which is going to be awesome OHkfW9iVL04-00038-00008829-00009243 and it also means the beginning of the OHkfW9iVL04-00039-00009244-00009489 holiday shopping season is upon us OHkfW9iVL04-00040-00009490-00009693 temptations are everywhere they are OHkfW9iVL04-00041-00009694-00009984 coming at us fast and quick from you OHkfW9iVL04-00042-00009985-00010139 know every direction online it seems OHkfW9iVL04-00043-00010140-00010293 like Mary and I were just talking about OHkfW9iVL04-00044-00010294-00010419 right before we started filming we're OHkfW9iVL04-00045-00010420-00010599 just talking about hair curling irons OHkfW9iVL04-00046-00010600-00010938 like I just season for buying yes for me OHkfW9iVL04-00047-00010939-00011313 it is Black Friday has been around with OHkfW9iVL04-00048-00011314-00011484 us for a couple weeks now at least I OHkfW9iVL04-00049-00011485-00011619 keep getting emails about Black Friday OHkfW9iVL04-00050-00011620-00011792 and I thought that was only one date OHkfW9iVL04-00051-00011793-00011985 right after Thanksgiving but I suppose OHkfW9iVL04-00052-00011986-00012060 it isn't anymore OHkfW9iVL04-00053-00012061-00012231 they're trying I've heard reports though OHkfW9iVL04-00054-00012232-00012542 that this holiday shopping season is not OHkfW9iVL04-00055-00012543-00012681 going to be what it was in the past OHkfW9iVL04-00056-00012682-00012992 really why is that I think a mixture of OHkfW9iVL04-00057-00012993-00013163 things I think people are just used to OHkfW9iVL04-00058-00013165-00013301 buying online we don't have these OHkfW9iVL04-00059-00013302-00013553 special occasions that we go to the OHkfW9iVL04-00060-00013554-00013785 malls for for anymore so OHkfW9iVL04-00061-00013786-00014082 yeah Amazon was kind of punished by OHkfW9iVL04-00062-00014083-00014469 investors by because it anticipated that OHkfW9iVL04-00063-00014469-00014594 the holiday season will be a little bit OHkfW9iVL04-00064-00014596-00014886 soft baked into the stock price a softer OHkfW9iVL04-00065-00014887-00015132 holiday well they did not have a very OHkfW9iVL04-00066-00015133-00015426 soft holiday at all in China the biggest OHkfW9iVL04-00067-00015427-00015735 retailer there Alibaba for singles day OHkfW9iVL04-00068-00015736-00016038 recently had quite a nice haul OHkfW9iVL04-00069-00016038-00016446 yeah they there's a holiday called or at OHkfW9iVL04-00070-00016447-00016617 least it's a marketing holiday called OHkfW9iVL04-00071-00016618-00016851 singles day where single people are OHkfW9iVL04-00072-00016852-00017034 supposed to console themselves by by OHkfW9iVL04-00073-00017035-00017388 shopping online formally I'd known and OHkfW9iVL04-00074-00017389-00017586 it was huge it was in the tens of OHkfW9iVL04-00075-00017587-00017976 billions in a single day and Alibaba is OHkfW9iVL04-00076-00017977-00018159 actually bigger than Amazon it's the OHkfW9iVL04-00077-00018160-00018384 biggest online retailer in the world OHkfW9iVL04-00078-00018385-00018591 yeah very cool people use it but you OHkfW9iVL04-00079-00018592-00018810 don't use it right no I don't I've never OHkfW9iVL04-00080-00018811-00019008 used it I want to now after Han told me OHkfW9iVL04-00081-00019009-00019185 that story I was looking and there's OHkfW9iVL04-00082-00019186-00019434 cheap beauty products over lady fake OHkfW9iVL04-00083-00019435-00019716 eyelashes for two dollars so the real OHkfW9iVL04-00084-00019717-00019844 question is do they also have an OHkfW9iVL04-00085-00019845-00020121 english-language website yeah it was in OHkfW9iVL04-00086-00020122-00020286 English I went on it so Google or OHkfW9iVL04-00087-00020287-00020421 somebody worked that out for me Google OHkfW9iVL04-00088-00020422-00020865 knows well for most of us for the rest OHkfW9iVL04-00089-00020866-00021066 of us who you know might not be as OHkfW9iVL04-00090-00021067-00021330 adventurous to go to Ali Baba's web site OHkfW9iVL04-00091-00021331-00021630 we do have our favorite online real tip OHkfW9iVL04-00092-00021631-00021854 retailer and that's Amazon of course OHkfW9iVL04-00093-00021855-00022150 which I will be shopping through and OHkfW9iVL04-00094-00022151-00022386 yeah oh I love Amazon and I used to be OHkfW9iVL04-00095-00022387-00022560 like the biggest like a hater of it just OHkfW9iVL04-00096-00022561-00022689 because the interface really frustrates OHkfW9iVL04-00097-00022690-00022863 me that as an online shopper I just the OHkfW9iVL04-00098-00022864-00022971 interface there's like eight different OHkfW9iVL04-00099-00022972-00023163 types of fonts there's a bazillion links OHkfW9iVL04-00100-00023164-00023262 I don't know where the photos are coming OHkfW9iVL04-00101-00023263-00023447 from it was just very confusing but OHkfW9iVL04-00102-00023448-00023594 honestly I have really gotten sucked in OHkfW9iVL04-00103-00023595-00023754 lately as of the last like six months I OHkfW9iVL04-00104-00023755-00023964 buy it if if I need anything I just OHkfW9iVL04-00105-00023965-00024111 check if it's on Amazon now I don't even OHkfW9iVL04-00106-00024112-00024279 I don't even check anywhere else I OHkfW9iVL04-00107-00024280-00024522 literally buy everything from Amazon and OHkfW9iVL04-00108-00024523-00024647 I think we were saying in a previous OHkfW9iVL04-00109-00024648-00024789 feed cast that you could even if you OHkfW9iVL04-00110-00024790-00025050 were so inclined buy yourself one of OHkfW9iVL04-00111-00025051-00025319 those containers and make it a home like OHkfW9iVL04-00112-00025320-00025527 they sell it as like a home like a OHkfW9iVL04-00113-00025528-00025664 shipping container shipping container OHkfW9iVL04-00114-00025666-00025736 yeah OHkfW9iVL04-00115-00025737-00025915 know that I don't really I don't really OHkfW9iVL04-00116-00025916-00026093 shop on Amazon I don't even have Amazon OHkfW9iVL04-00117-00026094-00026261 Prime I'm one of those weirdos that's OHkfW9iVL04-00118-00026262-00026414 insane to me you're missing so many good OHkfW9iVL04-00119-00026414-00026570 TV shows if nothing else well our OHkfW9iVL04-00120-00026570-00026735 producer Pablo was telling me that he OHkfW9iVL04-00121-00026736-00026954 has Prime but he doesn't buy anything OHkfW9iVL04-00122-00026955-00027056 from there and took me a second to OHkfW9iVL04-00123-00027057-00027161 actually understand what he meant by OHkfW9iVL04-00124-00027162-00027401 that he just watches the shows right but OHkfW9iVL04-00125-00027402-00027524 even though you have the free two-day OHkfW9iVL04-00126-00027525-00027779 delivery I guess whoever probably that's OHkfW9iVL04-00127-00027780-00028031 really weird yeah this objective value OHkfW9iVL04-00128-00028032-00028250 well I suppose that is true yeah well so OHkfW9iVL04-00129-00028251-00028489 of course you know it's not only Amazon OHkfW9iVL04-00130-00028491-00028687 season because that's where many of us OHkfW9iVL04-00131-00028688-00029093 are getting our holiday gifts from not OHkfW9iVL04-00132-00029094-00029498 all of us Lily calm I like a deal and OHkfW9iVL04-00133-00029499-00029876 I'm sorry grandma like Lily I'm a target OHkfW9iVL04-00134-00029877-00030062 girl I get I have my own target red card OHkfW9iVL04-00135-00030063-00030293 so I get free shipping and it's cheaper OHkfW9iVL04-00136-00030294-00030449 it's cheaper a lot times than Amazon so OHkfW9iVL04-00137-00030450-00030870 yes I thought my knows that Amazon well OHkfW9iVL04-00138-00030872-00031307 many US cities have had their noses some OHkfW9iVL04-00139-00031308-00031505 that where Amazon his thumb their noses OHkfW9iVL04-00140-00031506-00031739 at them let's say that because Amazon OHkfW9iVL04-00141-00031739-00032087 just wrapped up a search for their OHkfW9iVL04-00142-00032088-00032458 location of their vaunted HQ - they were OHkfW9iVL04-00143-00032459-00032714 looking over 14 months across the u.s. OHkfW9iVL04-00144-00032714-00033233 and Canada among 240 cities from where OHkfW9iVL04-00145-00033234-00033371 they would cite their new headquarters OHkfW9iVL04-00146-00033372-00033727 one of which is Atlanta one of us yeah OHkfW9iVL04-00147-00033728-00034037 and Atlanta did not get it and we'll OHkfW9iVL04-00148-00034038-00034220 talk a little bit about maybe some of OHkfW9iVL04-00149-00034221-00034511 the good effects of that and here in a OHkfW9iVL04-00150-00034512-00034712 moment but some other sort of factoids OHkfW9iVL04-00151-00034713-00034967 about the 14 month search they were OHkfW9iVL04-00152-00034968-00035156 looking for a location for of course OHkfW9iVL04-00153-00035157-00035279 their second headquarters because OHkfW9iVL04-00154-00035280-00035527 they're based out of Seattle and they OHkfW9iVL04-00155-00035528-00035735 were identifying a location where they OHkfW9iVL04-00156-00035736-00036115 could cite 50,000 high tech workers so OHkfW9iVL04-00157-00036116-00036410 these are 100 hundred thousand plus jobs OHkfW9iVL04-00158-00036411-00036593 that they were going to put into a OHkfW9iVL04-00159-00036594-00036862 single location at first however what OHkfW9iVL04-00160-00036863-00037082 ended up happening is that they selected OHkfW9iVL04-00161-00037083-00037343 two locations they selected Crystal City OHkfW9iVL04-00162-00037344-00037633 which is a neighborhood of Arlington OHkfW9iVL04-00163-00037634-00037814 Virginia which is literally right across OHkfW9iVL04-00164-00037815-00038060 the Potomac River from Washington DC a OHkfW9iVL04-00165-00038061-00038365 very crowded place traffic wise which OHkfW9iVL04-00166-00038366-00038474 will be interesting to see how they OHkfW9iVL04-00167-00038475-00038813 tackle that they also selected Long OHkfW9iVL04-00168-00038814-00039173 Island City which is close by to OHkfW9iVL04-00169-00039174-00039377 Queens it's you know part of New York OHkfW9iVL04-00170-00039378-00039611 metropolitan area and they are now going OHkfW9iVL04-00171-00039612-00040015 to split their 50,000 new workforce that OHkfW9iVL04-00172-00040016-00040193 they're citing there between those two OHkfW9iVL04-00173-00040194-00040468 cities so about 25,000 in each place and OHkfW9iVL04-00174-00040469-00040715 all this was done behind the scenes OHkfW9iVL04-00175-00040716-00040937 similar to all the other bids OHkfW9iVL04-00176-00040938-00041201 including Atlanta's and they've just OHkfW9iVL04-00177-00041202-00041549 begun to now release the details of what OHkfW9iVL04-00178-00041550-00041783 these various municipalities and states OHkfW9iVL04-00179-00041784-00042002 were actually promising to Amazon were OHkfW9iVL04-00180-00042003-00042215 they to locate in their respective OHkfW9iVL04-00181-00042216-00042464 places the number I found was an OHkfW9iVL04-00182-00042465-00042746 incentive package of a total of 3.4 OHkfW9iVL04-00183-00042747-00042923 billion between both New York and OHkfW9iVL04-00184-00042924-00043183 Virginia so what do you mean by OHkfW9iVL04-00185-00043184-00043408 incentive package there were OHkfW9iVL04-00186-00043409-00043592 performance-based directed direct OHkfW9iVL04-00187-00043593-00043985 incentives in New York of 1.5 billion of OHkfW9iVL04-00188-00043986-00044324 295 million in Virginia OHkfW9iVL04-00189-00044325-00044624 excuse me 573 million in Virginia for OHkfW9iVL04-00190-00044625-00044821 performance-based direct incentives and OHkfW9iVL04-00191-00044822-00045055 that's just so what are those - you mean OHkfW9iVL04-00192-00045056-00045190 like tax breaks or do you mean like is OHkfW9iVL04-00193-00045191-00045383 that what that means tax credits but OHkfW9iVL04-00194-00045384-00045626 also cash grants so cash grants meaning OHkfW9iVL04-00195-00045627-00045743 literally the city will just give them OHkfW9iVL04-00196-00045744-00045992 money and also promises to beef up OHkfW9iVL04-00197-00045993-00046289 infrastructure in the case of Crystal OHkfW9iVL04-00198-00046290-00046481 City to have a connector bridge built OHkfW9iVL04-00199-00046482-00046643 between the National Airport and the OHkfW9iVL04-00200-00046644-00046817 city and that's part of that figure OHkfW9iVL04-00201-00046818-00046961 that's part of that for 3.4 billion OHkfW9iVL04-00202-00046962-00047111 right okay interesting OHkfW9iVL04-00203-00047112-00047470 he said tax tax cuts cash grants what OHkfW9iVL04-00204-00047471-00047599 else we're looking at I mean in terms of OHkfW9iVL04-00205-00047600-00047705 I feel like some of those are kind of OHkfW9iVL04-00206-00047706-00047879 different right we're talking about the OHkfW9iVL04-00207-00047880-00048176 different benefits well be able to give OHkfW9iVL04-00208-00048177-00048346 yeah so let's take a step back real OHkfW9iVL04-00209-00048347-00048452 quick cuz I think this is an interesting OHkfW9iVL04-00210-00048453-00048662 sort of way to introduce what actually OHkfW9iVL04-00211-00048663-00048868 happens so from Atlanta's perspective OHkfW9iVL04-00212-00048869-00049087 they just released the details of the OHkfW9iVL04-00213-00049088-00049352 incentive package today it included OHkfW9iVL04-00214-00049353-00049582 everything from direct cash grants from OHkfW9iVL04-00215-00049583-00049961 tax breaks tax credits they were even OHkfW9iVL04-00216-00049962-00050239 going to put a special Amazon executive OHkfW9iVL04-00217-00050240-00050408 lounge together at the Atlanta Airport OHkfW9iVL04-00218-00050409-00050590 they were going to have some sort of OHkfW9iVL04-00219-00050591-00050939 dedicated Amazon Marta car on the train OHkfW9iVL04-00220-00050940-00051139 that goes from the airport to the sunna OHkfW9iVL04-00221-00051140-00051367 where else yeah pretty much - nowhere OHkfW9iVL04-00222-00051369-00051664 else and in fact interesting story was I OHkfW9iVL04-00223-00051665-00051967 read recently that the Amazon advance OHkfW9iVL04-00224-00051969-00052129 team when they were coming from the OHkfW9iVL04-00225-00052130-00052426 airport to the city ended up going on a OHkfW9iVL04-00226-00052427-00052472 Marta OHkfW9iVL04-00227-00052473-00052762 that broke down on its way sitting so OHkfW9iVL04-00228-00052763-00052978 the truth comes out inauspicious OHkfW9iVL04-00229-00052979-00053279 beginning to that examination but all OHkfW9iVL04-00230-00053279-00053416 these you know it's interesting you know OHkfW9iVL04-00231-00053417-00053549 you get the big numbers you get the OHkfW9iVL04-00232-00053550-00053696 billions of dollars and millions of OHkfW9iVL04-00233-00053697-00053899 dollars when it comes to these cash OHkfW9iVL04-00234-00053900-00054094 incentives but then you also get these OHkfW9iVL04-00235-00054095-00054278 interesting little you know things like OHkfW9iVL04-00236-00054279-00054446 they were gonna open up a special OHkfW9iVL04-00237-00054447-00054691 training academy for Amazon employees OHkfW9iVL04-00238-00054692-00054962 here in Georgia and on that it actually OHkfW9iVL04-00239-00054963-00055387 said cost incalculable slash TBD oh so OHkfW9iVL04-00240-00055388-00055669 the number was just that great right up OHkfW9iVL04-00241-00055670-00055823 later we'll make it up later fill in the OHkfW9iVL04-00242-00055824-00056179 actual details but these are all in many OHkfW9iVL04-00243-00056180-00056450 ways different tools inside the local OHkfW9iVL04-00244-00056451-00056731 and state legislature toolbox for OHkfW9iVL04-00245-00056732-00056948 attracting companies to their states OHkfW9iVL04-00246-00056949-00057134 right I mean this this is not a new OHkfW9iVL04-00247-00057135-00057391 thing Amazon just happens to be one of OHkfW9iVL04-00248-00057392-00057671 the biggest entities that's ever looked OHkfW9iVL04-00249-00057672-00057860 at getting these sorts of incentives so OHkfW9iVL04-00250-00057861-00058057 the belle of the ball yeah except for OHkfW9iVL04-00251-00058058-00058282 you you're a Zulily lady aside I'm not OHkfW9iVL04-00252-00058283-00058397 gonna let you live that one they're OHkfW9iVL04-00253-00058398-00058565 gonna overthrow the Amazonians any day OHkfW9iVL04-00254-00058566-00058966 now zillions well and so there are a lot OHkfW9iVL04-00255-00058967-00059107 of different opinions on this so we'll OHkfW9iVL04-00256-00059108-00059240 get into this in a little bit there are OHkfW9iVL04-00257-00059241-00059597 people who believe a that these tax OHkfW9iVL04-00258-00059598-00059899 credits and incentives otherwise our OHkfW9iVL04-00259-00059900-00060169 corporate welfare right so they believe OHkfW9iVL04-00260-00060170-00060454 that well-placed people are gaming the OHkfW9iVL04-00261-00060455-00060650 system getting special treatment from OHkfW9iVL04-00262-00060651-00060821 legislators and politicians otherwise OHkfW9iVL04-00263-00060822-00060962 and then there are people who believe OHkfW9iVL04-00264-00060963-00061243 you know whenever there's a decrease in OHkfW9iVL04-00265-00061244-00061472 the tax burden that the government OHkfW9iVL04-00266-00061473-00061736 levies on a company or an individual OHkfW9iVL04-00267-00061737-00061979 that that's that's just and that's fine OHkfW9iVL04-00268-00061979-00062147 and so I want to get into that a little OHkfW9iVL04-00269-00062148-00062418 bit here in a minute one of the OHkfW9iVL04-00270-00062419-00062644 interesting pieces of information I want OHkfW9iVL04-00271-00062645-00062924 to launch that with is my friend Michael OHkfW9iVL04-00272-00062925-00063130 Ferran at the Mercatus Center based out OHkfW9iVL04-00273-00063131-00063311 of George Mason University and his OHkfW9iVL04-00274-00063312-00063442 colleague and Philpot they wrote OHkfW9iVL04-00275-00063444-00063637 recently Amazon HQ to is the only OHkfW9iVL04-00276-00063638-00063824 competition where the losers are winners OHkfW9iVL04-00277-00063825-00064087 where the losers are winners and he's OHkfW9iVL04-00278-00064088-00064235 basically they're arguing that because OHkfW9iVL04-00279-00064236-00064466 of various things you know targeted OHkfW9iVL04-00280-00064466-00064660 subsidies don't actually create growth OHkfW9iVL04-00281-00064661-00064847 because they believe it's crony OHkfW9iVL04-00282-00064848-00065090 capitalism and they provide a lot of OHkfW9iVL04-00283-00065091-00065300 data that essentially says tax OHkfW9iVL04-00284-00065301-00065467 incentives are not the reason that OHkfW9iVL04-00285-00065468-00065701 companies select certain venues to put OHkfW9iVL04-00286-00065702-00065847 their companies to open their offer OHkfW9iVL04-00287-00065848-00066032 is they basically do it for every other OHkfW9iVL04-00288-00066033-00066222 reason proximity to a highly-skilled OHkfW9iVL04-00289-00066223-00066435 workforce and good public transit system OHkfW9iVL04-00290-00066436-00066618 and Airport they can get you from coast OHkfW9iVL04-00291-00066619-00066834 to coast and and elsewhere yeah this is OHkfW9iVL04-00292-00066835-00067106 an example New Jersey offer to Amazon OHkfW9iVL04-00293-00067107-00067301 five billion dollars with another two OHkfW9iVL04-00294-00067302-00067554 billion from Newark and Maryland offered OHkfW9iVL04-00295-00067555-00067872 eight point five billion yet Amazon OHkfW9iVL04-00296-00067873-00068022 picked them both over to pick their OHkfW9iVL04-00297-00068023-00068184 neighbors so it just goes to show that OHkfW9iVL04-00298-00068185-00068355 it's not all about and that's like in OHkfW9iVL04-00299-00068356-00068496 tax and that's in tax incentives and OHkfW9iVL04-00300-00068497-00068754 things like that interesting and so it's OHkfW9iVL04-00301-00068755-00069066 my opinion that I agree with with the OHkfW9iVL04-00302-00069067-00069261 authors of the of the Mercatus piece OHkfW9iVL04-00303-00069262-00069575 that it's crony capitalism but Dan you OHkfW9iVL04-00304-00069576-00069719 and I were talking a little bit before OHkfW9iVL04-00305-00069720-00069975 the program and you might have a little OHkfW9iVL04-00306-00069976-00070110 bit of a different perspective and we'll OHkfW9iVL04-00307-00070111-00070280 see if the fur flies here in a moment OHkfW9iVL04-00308-00070281-00070813 yeah for me it's not so much about OHkfW9iVL04-00309-00070814-00071188 equality as it is about justice so OHkfW9iVL04-00310-00071189-00071387 there's this great quote from Murray OHkfW9iVL04-00311-00071388-00071444 Rothbard OHkfW9iVL04-00312-00071445-00071742 he says equality of unjust treatment can OHkfW9iVL04-00313-00071743-00071955 never be upheld as an ideal of justice OHkfW9iVL04-00314-00071956-00072168 therefore he who maintains that attacks OHkfW9iVL04-00315-00072169-00072492 be imposed equally on all must first OHkfW9iVL04-00316-00072493-00072731 establish the justice of the tax itself OHkfW9iVL04-00317-00072732-00073055 and I think one way of thinking about OHkfW9iVL04-00318-00073056-00073299 that is to think about other issues of OHkfW9iVL04-00319-00073300-00073590 justice so for example drug prohibition OHkfW9iVL04-00320-00073591-00073887 that you know a lot of libertarians we OHkfW9iVL04-00321-00073888-00074237 think that drug prohibition is unjust so OHkfW9iVL04-00322-00074238-00074460 let's compare let's say that there was OHkfW9iVL04-00323-00074461-00074787 this rich neighborhood where maybe the OHkfW9iVL04-00324-00074788-00075107 the people are friendly with the local OHkfW9iVL04-00325-00075108-00075411 police and they never get busted for OHkfW9iVL04-00326-00075412-00075675 their drug use and poor neighborhood OHkfW9iVL04-00327-00075676-00076055 does and so along the lines of just like OHkfW9iVL04-00328-00076056-00076230 well everyone needs to be equal and OHkfW9iVL04-00329-00076231-00076425 nobody can can have special privilege OHkfW9iVL04-00330-00076426-00076623 because of special relationships then OHkfW9iVL04-00331-00076624-00076941 you might argue that okay well the the OHkfW9iVL04-00332-00076942-00077186 rich people should be rated for drugs to OHkfW9iVL04-00333-00077187-00077594 even it out but really it's it's the OHkfW9iVL04-00334-00077595-00077799 fact that the the poor neighborhood OHkfW9iVL04-00335-00077800-00078060 should be extended the the benefits of OHkfW9iVL04-00336-00078061-00078488 of that and in the best case scenario or OHkfW9iVL04-00337-00078489-00078885 in the but the worst case scenario would OHkfW9iVL04-00338-00078886-00079128 be to equal it out towards injustice OHkfW9iVL04-00339-00079129-00079304 well and so I agree OHkfW9iVL04-00340-00079305-00079604 on the drug case for sure and in this OHkfW9iVL04-00341-00079605-00079799 case I would say I actually agree as OHkfW9iVL04-00342-00079800-00080080 well because here's the thing OHkfW9iVL04-00343-00080081-00080350 III agree with Murray Rothbard with what OHkfW9iVL04-00344-00080351-00080563 you said there that just because a tax OHkfW9iVL04-00345-00080564-00080780 is spread equally or distributed equally OHkfW9iVL04-00346-00080781-00080950 among everyone doesn't make it any more OHkfW9iVL04-00347-00080951-00081161 just than it as if it were targeted or OHkfW9iVL04-00348-00081162-00081406 whatever totally agree with that however OHkfW9iVL04-00349-00081407-00081773 I think one of the things that and you OHkfW9iVL04-00350-00081774-00081925 can pipe it I don't know if I agree OHkfW9iVL04-00351-00081926-00082094 here's the thing OHkfW9iVL04-00352-00082095-00082391 what from a policy standpoint you know OHkfW9iVL04-00353-00082392-00082598 let's let's talk maybe a little bit OHkfW9iVL04-00354-00082599-00082760 different from from justice although I OHkfW9iVL04-00355-00082761-00082936 think it kind of hits on the same notes OHkfW9iVL04-00356-00082937-00083234 what Michael Ferran and Ann Philpott OHkfW9iVL04-00357-00083235-00083528 said here is using the average subsidy OHkfW9iVL04-00358-00083529-00083888 that each of these states were promoting OHkfW9iVL04-00359-00083889-00084215 to Amazon we estimate how much state OHkfW9iVL04-00360-00084216-00084382 each each state could reduce its OHkfW9iVL04-00361-00084383-00084515 corporate income tax over the life of OHkfW9iVL04-00362-00084516-00084668 the subsidy so basically they're arguing OHkfW9iVL04-00363-00084669-00084913 let's not target the benefit toward one OHkfW9iVL04-00364-00084914-00085126 single company right so let's in the OHkfW9iVL04-00365-00085127-00085300 same way let's not target one OHkfW9iVL04-00366-00085301-00085507 neighborhood to enforce these drug laws OHkfW9iVL04-00367-00085508-00085709 but let's actually from a policy OHkfW9iVL04-00368-00085710-00085973 standpoint make the corporate income tax OHkfW9iVL04-00369-00085974-00086204 lower across the board instead of just OHkfW9iVL04-00370-00086205-00086429 for this new entrant who wants to cite OHkfW9iVL04-00371-00086430-00086630 their office in your place they said OHkfW9iVL04-00372-00086631-00086816 based on the average subsidy that was OHkfW9iVL04-00373-00086817-00087050 offered to Amazon each of these states OHkfW9iVL04-00374-00087051-00087188 could reduce their corporate income OHkfW9iVL04-00375-00087189-00087688 taxes by 29% most strikingly three OHkfW9iVL04-00376-00087689-00087842 states Colorado Maryland and North OHkfW9iVL04-00377-00087843-00087986 Carolina could cut their corporate OHkfW9iVL04-00378-00087987-00088322 income tax by 70% again this is this OHkfW9iVL04-00379-00088323-00088541 comes down at this point to a policy OHkfW9iVL04-00380-00088542-00088804 decision right do you want to have a OHkfW9iVL04-00381-00088805-00089306 specialized tax break on a one company OHkfW9iVL04-00382-00089307-00089435 in order to get them through the door OHkfW9iVL04-00383-00089436-00089774 which again the evidence is unclear and OHkfW9iVL04-00384-00089775-00089938 actually dubious that that actually OHkfW9iVL04-00385-00089939-00090143 happens or from a policy standpoint OHkfW9iVL04-00386-00090144-00090365 would you prefer to lower everybody's OHkfW9iVL04-00387-00090366-00090650 taxes all across the board and from my OHkfW9iVL04-00388-00090651-00090817 perspective that seems to be a much more OHkfW9iVL04-00389-00090818-00091144 just outcome from attracting a company OHkfW9iVL04-00390-00091145-00091367 instead of just targeting it's that OHkfW9iVL04-00391-00091368-00091541 single company with this better policy OHkfW9iVL04-00392-00091542-00091706 yeah well I want to I want to push back OHkfW9iVL04-00393-00091707-00091898 on kind of your point Dan I think that's OHkfW9iVL04-00394-00091899-00092075 how if we're using I feel like it's OHkfW9iVL04-00395-00092076-00092216 sometimes a shaky comparison if we're OHkfW9iVL04-00396-00092217-00092471 talking about a tax incentive so cutting OHkfW9iVL04-00397-00092472-00092616 taxes OHkfW9iVL04-00398-00092617-00092799 limiting the amount of taxes we take OHkfW9iVL04-00399-00092800-00092967 from someone versus when you're talking OHkfW9iVL04-00400-00092968-00093092 about drug law enforcement that's OHkfW9iVL04-00401-00093093-00093236 putting resources on to of course OHkfW9iVL04-00402-00093237-00093431 resources go into tax cuts but I'm OHkfW9iVL04-00403-00093432-00093587 saying that's putting resources on to a OHkfW9iVL04-00404-00093588-00093788 situation rather than removing removing OHkfW9iVL04-00405-00093789-00093990 enforcement of something so if we talk OHkfW9iVL04-00406-00093991-00094161 about if let's say there's a and you can OHkfW9iVL04-00407-00094162-00094325 agree there's a there's a scarce or OHkfW9iVL04-00408-00094326-00094574 limited number of police of time energy OHkfW9iVL04-00409-00094575-00094763 money that we have to spend on drug law OHkfW9iVL04-00410-00094764-00095034 enforcement I think the the Equality OHkfW9iVL04-00411-00095035-00095196 component comes in where it says we're OHkfW9iVL04-00412-00095197-00095490 spending 70% of our resources on 30% of OHkfW9iVL04-00413-00095491-00095673 the neighborhood right verses and so OHkfW9iVL04-00414-00095674-00095847 when I think about spreading or saying OHkfW9iVL04-00415-00095848-00096062 like we should all be equally enforced OHkfW9iVL04-00416-00096063-00096194 or this should be equal across the board OHkfW9iVL04-00417-00096195-00096453 I'm picturing we need to take the same OHkfW9iVL04-00418-00096454-00096609 amount of resources and make it equal OHkfW9iVL04-00419-00096610-00096891 across the board you know we should yes OHkfW9iVL04-00420-00096892-00097122 but raid but raid the other neighborhood OHkfW9iVL04-00421-00097123-00097296 the poor neighborhood less right and OHkfW9iVL04-00422-00097297-00097507 it's like if it's to me there's an OHkfW9iVL04-00423-00097508-00097880 equity in or an equality in spreading OHkfW9iVL04-00424-00097881-00098055 the resources evenly rather than OHkfW9iVL04-00425-00098056-00098207 increasing or decreasing because it OHkfW9iVL04-00426-00098208-00098405 because it does seem to me it seems in OHkfW9iVL04-00427-00098406-00098612 just to say why does one neighborhood OHkfW9iVL04-00428-00098613-00098772 get more of those resources were OHkfW9iVL04-00429-00098773-00098961 negative resource would the fact that it OHkfW9iVL04-00430-00098962-00099143 was more balance comfort you if you were OHkfW9iVL04-00431-00099144-00099856 the victim of the drug raid OHkfW9iVL04-00432-00099857-00100059 philosophically for me I think that it OHkfW9iVL04-00433-00100060-00100479 isn't it isn't I don't know to encourage OHkfW9iVL04-00434-00100480-00100694 the Equality of a spread of a negative OHkfW9iVL04-00435-00100695-00101036 resource to me seems doesn't seem as bad OHkfW9iVL04-00436-00101037-00101259 as saying continuing with a system that OHkfW9iVL04-00437-00101260-00101585 has disparate I guess what am I saying OHkfW9iVL04-00438-00101586-00101811 exercise of those kinds of those kinds OHkfW9iVL04-00439-00101812-00101991 of resources that make sense so like a OHkfW9iVL04-00440-00101992-00102117 tax incentive to me is more like we're OHkfW9iVL04-00441-00102118-00102287 taking away something we're taking away OHkfW9iVL04-00442-00102288-00102590 I don't know how to say I just feel the OHkfW9iVL04-00443-00102591-00102803 tax incentive is you're taxing one group OHkfW9iVL04-00444-00102804-00103047 less so that everyone else has to pick OHkfW9iVL04-00445-00103048-00103178 up the slack because in a typical OHkfW9iVL04-00446-00103179-00103379 situation you're just because you're OHkfW9iVL04-00447-00103380-00103514 taxing this group less doesn't mean the OHkfW9iVL04-00448-00103515-00103658 government's spending any less so it's OHkfW9iVL04-00449-00103659-00103788 got to come from elsewhere well that was OHkfW9iVL04-00450-00103789-00103889 my first question is where are these OHkfW9iVL04-00451-00103890-00104015 where is you know if you're talking OHkfW9iVL04-00452-00104016-00104214 about Atlanta where is this where who's OHkfW9iVL04-00453-00104215-00104504 paying for this Marta Amazon Marta bus OHkfW9iVL04-00454-00104505-00104907 right or train and it's us I mean I OHkfW9iVL04-00455-00104908-00105053 think the same argument is made for a OHkfW9iVL04-00456-00105054-00105164 lot of other things that the government OHkfW9iVL04-00457-00105165-00105351 subsidizes poke sewed in I'm just OHkfW9iVL04-00458-00105352-00105503 wondering about your point is it more OHkfW9iVL04-00459-00105504-00105819 about the ability for us all to advocate OHkfW9iVL04-00460-00105820-00105889 on our behalf OHkfW9iVL04-00461-00105890-00106066 to get government off of our backs and OHkfW9iVL04-00462-00106067-00106270 if and if that is kind of your main OHkfW9iVL04-00463-00106271-00106549 point I think naturally we all have a OHkfW9iVL04-00464-00106550-00106690 different ability to do that I mean the OHkfW9iVL04-00465-00106691-00106876 case of Amazon they have people they can OHkfW9iVL04-00466-00106877-00107160 hire to be lobbyists and to to shake OHkfW9iVL04-00467-00107161-00107380 hands and make deals whereas your OHkfW9iVL04-00468-00107381-00107535 entrepreneur who's just trying to launch OHkfW9iVL04-00469-00107536-00107685 a business doesn't have that kind of OHkfW9iVL04-00470-00107686-00107995 time or resources so where I guess is OHkfW9iVL04-00471-00107996-00108208 the justice in that if that we don't all OHkfW9iVL04-00472-00108208-00108411 have that same ability to advocate for OHkfW9iVL04-00473-00108413-00108633 ourselves well the same justice that the OHkfW9iVL04-00474-00108634-00108988 rich person in the in the rich drug user OHkfW9iVL04-00475-00108989-00109408 would have in having access to being OHkfW9iVL04-00476-00109408-00109645 friends with the local police and and OHkfW9iVL04-00477-00109646-00109860 you know being in circles of power even OHkfW9iVL04-00478-00109861-00110038 even may be friends with Lakeville the OHkfW9iVL04-00479-00110039-00110283 judge and and friends with politicians OHkfW9iVL04-00480-00110284-00110773 nearby that like if he uses that access OHkfW9iVL04-00481-00110774-00111055 to increase his own Liberty I don't see OHkfW9iVL04-00482-00111056-00111241 what's wrong with that really what about OHkfW9iVL04-00483-00111242-00111505 that access by them having that access OHkfW9iVL04-00484-00111506-00111649 to that person who does have a limited OHkfW9iVL04-00485-00111650-00111841 time then that means that somebody else OHkfW9iVL04-00486-00111842-00112093 can't advocate for themselves during OHkfW9iVL04-00487-00112094-00112354 that time it's not a it's an excludable OHkfW9iVL04-00488-00112355-00112698 good essentially these people's time OHkfW9iVL04-00489-00112699-00113125 that's true that's a good point yeah so OHkfW9iVL04-00490-00113126-00113278 I think there's a danger of taking this OHkfW9iVL04-00491-00113279-00113803 drug enforcement discussion too far but OHkfW9iVL04-00492-00113804-00114127 I would say on that there there might be OHkfW9iVL04-00493-00114128-00114523 a demand say for example you do enforce OHkfW9iVL04-00494-00114524-00114742 the law equally across you know the rich OHkfW9iVL04-00495-00114743-00114844 neighborhood and the poor neighborhood OHkfW9iVL04-00496-00114845-00115063 never in between right you could imagine OHkfW9iVL04-00497-00115064-00115273 that there might at that point be demand OHkfW9iVL04-00498-00115274-00115465 for saying do we need this law at all OHkfW9iVL04-00499-00115466-00115744 right I mean like you spread the pain OHkfW9iVL04-00500-00115745-00115935 enough then you end up actually having OHkfW9iVL04-00501-00115936-00116299 an incentive to say well is this a just OHkfW9iVL04-00502-00116300-00116515 law to begin with and I suppose I come OHkfW9iVL04-00503-00116516-00116658 from a similar perspective when when I OHkfW9iVL04-00504-00116659-00116881 look at the taxes right and so if OHkfW9iVL04-00505-00116882-00117186 there's so much cash it is Amazon's cash OHkfW9iVL04-00506-00117188-00117388 they're getting to keep that that is OHkfW9iVL04-00507-00117389-00117550 true in a lot of ways when it comes to OHkfW9iVL04-00508-00117551-00117820 like you know tax breaks not cash grants OHkfW9iVL04-00509-00117821-00117946 that's a different thing entirely but OHkfW9iVL04-00510-00117947-00118102 when it comes to tax breaks that is OHkfW9iVL04-00511-00118103-00118303 Amazon's cash to begin with and so that OHkfW9iVL04-00512-00118304-00118441 gets to your point of you know whether OHkfW9iVL04-00513-00118442-00118750 it's good for a company to be more or OHkfW9iVL04-00514-00118751-00118951 less plundered I would agree it's better OHkfW9iVL04-00515-00118952-00119095 for a company to be less plundered by OHkfW9iVL04-00516-00119096-00119224 taxes but OHkfW9iVL04-00517-00119225-00119548 anyway I think the point is here if you OHkfW9iVL04-00518-00119549-00119914 end up having a system that favors one OHkfW9iVL04-00519-00119915-00120220 you end up reducing the pain generally OHkfW9iVL04-00520-00120221-00120411 and you might actually have less demand OHkfW9iVL04-00521-00120413-00120700 for the lowering of taxes generally than OHkfW9iVL04-00522-00120701-00120984 with that specialized situation I think OHkfW9iVL04-00523-00120985-00121147 there's one issue that addresses both OHkfW9iVL04-00524-00121148-00121536 both of the what you both said that the OHkfW9iVL04-00525-00121538-00121819 justice of actions of individual actions OHkfW9iVL04-00526-00121820-00122092 need to be considered individually that OHkfW9iVL04-00527-00122093-00122296 there are there there might be like OHkfW9iVL04-00528-00122297-00122593 indirect ramifications that it might OHkfW9iVL04-00529-00122594-00122791 influence the way that other people do OHkfW9iVL04-00530-00122792-00123159 other actions but that can't be factored OHkfW9iVL04-00531-00123160-00123343 into when you're considering the justice OHkfW9iVL04-00532-00123344-00123667 of action itself so so in in the case OHkfW9iVL04-00533-00123668-00123964 that you just rose that like yes maybe OHkfW9iVL04-00534-00123965-00124255 maybe that it might reduce the demand OHkfW9iVL04-00535-00124256-00124911 for to seek more justice but we don't OHkfW9iVL04-00536-00124913-00125173 know so your argument is that we can OHkfW9iVL04-00537-00125174-00125521 only say from a moral standpoint or an OHkfW9iVL04-00538-00125522-00125661 ethical standpoint that we should not OHkfW9iVL04-00539-00125663-00125977 say it's it's it's morally in care OHkfW9iVL04-00540-00125978-00126271 incorrect to to say yes I'll take that OHkfW9iVL04-00541-00126272-00126478 incentive right it's only the the OHkfW9iVL04-00542-00126479-00126721 institution has set it up in a flawed OHkfW9iVL04-00543-00126722-00126949 way so similarly when you ask where is OHkfW9iVL04-00544-00126950-00127161 the money going to come from yeah so so OHkfW9iVL04-00545-00127163-00127335 there's like a series of actions there's OHkfW9iVL04-00546-00127336-00127608 like okay I am NOT going to steal OHkfW9iVL04-00547-00127609-00127933 plunder this company but I still want OHkfW9iVL04-00548-00127933-00128173 these goodies over here so I'm going to OHkfW9iVL04-00549-00128174-00128539 plunder from this company that's very OHkfW9iVL04-00550-00128540-00128773 indirect like it doesn't change the fact OHkfW9iVL04-00551-00128774-00129070 that not that plundering from this other OHkfW9iVL04-00552-00129071-00129202 company would have been bad in the first OHkfW9iVL04-00553-00129203-00129415 place so me ask you this Dan is your OHkfW9iVL04-00554-00129416-00129873 position one or both of these a that OHkfW9iVL04-00555-00129874-00130233 Amazon is okay to have sought these OHkfW9iVL04-00556-00130234-00130642 special treatments or be that it's OHkfW9iVL04-00557-00130643-00130882 alright for governments to offer these OHkfW9iVL04-00558-00130883-00131167 special treatments well both actually OHkfW9iVL04-00559-00131168-00131461 yeah yeah yeah I mean that's that's how OHkfW9iVL04-00560-00131462-00131755 I feel I feel that most often times when OHkfW9iVL04-00561-00131756-00131974 you when you take it back to its OHkfW9iVL04-00562-00131975-00132115 beginning if we look at an issue that we OHkfW9iVL04-00563-00132116-00132313 have we have problems with you unravel OHkfW9iVL04-00564-00132314-00132474 that and you see that there is OHkfW9iVL04-00565-00132475-00132636 in this situation there's an an OHkfW9iVL04-00566-00132637-00132822 institutional incentive to make that OHkfW9iVL04-00567-00132823-00132981 decision right so it isn't Amazon who's OHkfW9iVL04-00568-00132982-00133089 making the decision that's bad that's OHkfW9iVL04-00569-00133090-00133350 not an unethical decision it's the the OHkfW9iVL04-00570-00133351-00133506 institution has encouraged an unethical OHkfW9iVL04-00571-00133507-00133698 a decision perceive is unethical and OHkfW9iVL04-00572-00133699-00133839 therefore is the institution unethical OHkfW9iVL04-00573-00133840-00133980 right the attacks instead of providing OHkfW9iVL04-00574-00133981-00134253 institution another another analogy OHkfW9iVL04-00575-00134254-00134547 might be say a bully and the playground OHkfW9iVL04-00576-00134548-00134841 is stealing kids lunch money and so OHkfW9iVL04-00577-00134842-00135051 maybe one of the kids is his friends so OHkfW9iVL04-00578-00135052-00135486 he steals less or maybe not at all yeah OHkfW9iVL04-00579-00135487-00135681 I like that I like that metaphor even OHkfW9iVL04-00580-00135682-00135861 more because it's simple right that's OHkfW9iVL04-00581-00135862-00135951 simple when you talk about just like OHkfW9iVL04-00582-00135952-00136101 kids interacting that's a lot simpler OHkfW9iVL04-00583-00136102-00136275 than thinking about the war on drugs so OHkfW9iVL04-00584-00136276-00136473 but yet but what I'm a public policy OHkfW9iVL04-00585-00136474-00136665 perspective you don't want any kids OHkfW9iVL04-00586-00136666-00136842 having their lunch money stolen here I OHkfW9iVL04-00587-00136843-00136995 think there's two points that were OHkfW9iVL04-00588-00136996-00137181 getting close to but maybe not touching OHkfW9iVL04-00589-00137182-00137304 as in the way that I would like and OHkfW9iVL04-00590-00137305-00137505 those two are that the encouragement of OHkfW9iVL04-00591-00137506-00137828 other people to get in the game of I can OHkfW9iVL04-00592-00137829-00138051 take these actions I can rent caecus OHkfW9iVL04-00593-00138052-00138201 entually get special favors that are OHkfW9iVL04-00594-00138202-00138360 outside of just the productivity of my OHkfW9iVL04-00595-00138361-00138603 business and that encourages other OHkfW9iVL04-00596-00138604-00138705 people to do it I'll share a short OHkfW9iVL04-00597-00138706-00138885 anecdote when I was in the sixth grade OHkfW9iVL04-00598-00138886-00139257 we had spelling tests and very slowly in OHkfW9iVL04-00599-00139258-00139398 the class everybody started to cheat on OHkfW9iVL04-00600-00139399-00139590 their spelling tests with this simple OHkfW9iVL04-00601-00139591-00139806 strategy of just putting the paper with OHkfW9iVL04-00602-00139807-00139998 the words underneath the desk next to OHkfW9iVL04-00603-00139999-00140196 them and it started off with just one OHkfW9iVL04-00604-00140197-00140424 kid and he got away with it and then the OHkfW9iVL04-00605-00140425-00140559 next spelling test came around and more OHkfW9iVL04-00606-00140560-00140817 kids and more kids and more kids and the OHkfW9iVL04-00607-00140818-00141084 cost versus the benefits were really OHkfW9iVL04-00608-00141085-00141261 warped in this situation because in the OHkfW9iVL04-00609-00141262-00141465 short term I could cheat get a good OHkfW9iVL04-00610-00141466-00141762 grade on the test and being good social OHkfW9iVL04-00611-00141763-00141942 standing with my peers or to do the OHkfW9iVL04-00612-00141943-00142161 moral thing into and to not cheat OHkfW9iVL04-00613-00142162-00142368 there's the risk of getting a lower OHkfW9iVL04-00614-00142369-00142779 score and so I'm just trying to speak to OHkfW9iVL04-00615-00142780-00142932 the incentives here then yeah other OHkfW9iVL04-00616-00142933-00143115 people wanting to play into it and then OHkfW9iVL04-00617-00143116-00143310 the second thing which I'll just quickly OHkfW9iVL04-00618-00143311-00143550 say is that we are removing some profit OHkfW9iVL04-00619-00143551-00143766 and loss signals when we manipulate OHkfW9iVL04-00620-00143767-00143985 incentives this way mmm-hmm I do want to OHkfW9iVL04-00621-00143986-00144189 this is these are this an awesome OHkfW9iVL04-00622-00144190-00144392 anecdote I do want to go back to the OHkfW9iVL04-00623-00144393-00144627 bullies stealing the lunch money because OHkfW9iVL04-00624-00144628-00144920 I think we're getting a little bit OHkfW9iVL04-00625-00144921-00145260 speaking back and forth on the notion of OHkfW9iVL04-00626-00145261-00145485 normative and positive right we're OHkfW9iVL04-00627-00145486-00145755 talking I think in some cases one of us OHkfW9iVL04-00628-00145756-00145815 is speaking in OHkfW9iVL04-00629-00145816-00146013 the ideal sense and the other one is OHkfW9iVL04-00630-00146014-00146190 speaking more in sort of the practical OHkfW9iVL04-00631-00146191-00146421 like what it is sense the problem is OHkfW9iVL04-00632-00146422-00146682 with that lunch money stealing story is OHkfW9iVL04-00633-00146683-00147048 that if you believe taxes are theft OHkfW9iVL04-00634-00147049-00147234 which I believe is what you're promoting OHkfW9iVL04-00635-00147235-00147618 here all right that's one thing to OHkfW9iVL04-00636-00147619-00147852 consider however our current system OHkfW9iVL04-00637-00147853-00148152 today is rife with taxes we are going to OHkfW9iVL04-00638-00148153-00148416 be taxed one way or the other every kid OHkfW9iVL04-00639-00148417-00148641 on that playground is going to have his OHkfW9iVL04-00640-00148642-00148872 or her lunch money stolen to one degree OHkfW9iVL04-00641-00148873-00149088 or another it is happening it is not not OHkfW9iVL04-00642-00149089-00149292 happening and so the question is from a OHkfW9iVL04-00643-00149293-00149562 public policy standpoint do you want the OHkfW9iVL04-00644-00149563-00149856 single kid to be able to steal from in OHkfW9iVL04-00645-00149857-00150210 particular people you know and not steal OHkfW9iVL04-00646-00150211-00150438 from his friend right or would you OHkfW9iVL04-00647-00150439-00150837 prefer every person to be stolen from in OHkfW9iVL04-00648-00150838-00151080 a equitable kind of fashion because OHkfW9iVL04-00649-00151081-00151287 we're not not stealing that's the bottom OHkfW9iVL04-00650-00151288-00151446 line but I think in the reality we don't OHkfW9iVL04-00651-00151447-00151848 have those like batched those clustered OHkfW9iVL04-00652-00151849-00152127 choices where you're you're really the OHkfW9iVL04-00653-00152128-00152463 choices are just boiled down to is this OHkfW9iVL04-00654-00152464-00152697 kid going to be stolen or not from or OHkfW9iVL04-00655-00152698-00153090 not like it's it's not often times you OHkfW9iVL04-00656-00153091-00153450 think that that there are whole policy OHkfW9iVL04-00657-00153451-00153726 directions that you're choosing from but OHkfW9iVL04-00658-00153727-00154035 you know in in the day-to-day lawmaking OHkfW9iVL04-00659-00154036-00154284 it's just you're deciding one thing at a OHkfW9iVL04-00660-00154285-00154428 time you can only look at that one OHkfW9iVL04-00661-00154429-00154728 decision I don't know I feel like it OHkfW9iVL04-00662-00154729-00154890 points back to I think Mary Ann's story OHkfW9iVL04-00663-00154891-00155033 with the spelling with the spelling OHkfW9iVL04-00664-00155034-00155229 tests I think that we're talking about OHkfW9iVL04-00665-00155230-00155448 the lunch money I think for me it is OHkfW9iVL04-00666-00155449-00155724 always how can we create an institution OHkfW9iVL04-00667-00155725-00155940 that limits this in every way right so OHkfW9iVL04-00668-00155941-00156072 that means the teacher wasn't looking OHkfW9iVL04-00669-00156073-00156258 you know what I mean or the incentive OHkfW9iVL04-00670-00156259-00156351 needs to be you're going to fail this OHkfW9iVL04-00671-00156352-00156513 test if I catch you cheating right it's OHkfW9iVL04-00672-00156514-00156753 about how the institution or the even OHkfW9iVL04-00673-00156754-00156945 the context creates or incentivizes OHkfW9iVL04-00674-00156946-00157068 people to make those decisions and OHkfW9iVL04-00675-00157069-00157269 culture that's what matters and is the OHkfW9iVL04-00676-00157270-00157371 teacher paying attention to the bully OHkfW9iVL04-00677-00157372-00157626 that's stealing it is what's the context OHkfW9iVL04-00678-00157627-00157761 around which these decisions are made OHkfW9iVL04-00679-00157762-00157953 why is the bullies stealing why are the OHkfW9iVL04-00680-00157954-00158259 class members cheating right I mean so I OHkfW9iVL04-00681-00158260-00158493 agree with you the context matters and I OHkfW9iVL04-00682-00158494-00158697 also agree with Dan in the sense on you OHkfW9iVL04-00683-00158698-00158850 know you have to look at these decisions OHkfW9iVL04-00684-00158851-00159189 individually however policy is not ended OHkfW9iVL04-00685-00159190-00159477 policy is policy is policy and so you OHkfW9iVL04-00686-00159478-00159630 know that's the way it works a policy OHkfW9iVL04-00687-00159631-00159849 cannot have exemptions to it in order to OHkfW9iVL04-00688-00159850-00160017 be something that actually works across OHkfW9iVL04-00689-00160018-00160272 the board but what what if in that OHkfW9iVL04-00690-00160273-00160491 situation like say it was the question OHkfW9iVL04-00691-00160492-00160833 of okay the bully decides oh I'm only OHkfW9iVL04-00692-00160834-00161088 gonna steal half from you because you're OHkfW9iVL04-00693-00161089-00161376 my friend and then a third person comes OHkfW9iVL04-00694-00161377-00161547 up and says wait a minute OHkfW9iVL04-00695-00161548-00161880 steal more because instead of that you OHkfW9iVL04-00696-00161881-00162210 should steal less from everyone across OHkfW9iVL04-00697-00162211-00162360 the board but then it's not more OHkfW9iVL04-00698-00162361-00162501 stealing it's an equal amount of OHkfW9iVL04-00699-00162502-00162693 stealing right just theoretically OHkfW9iVL04-00700-00162694-00163155 unequally or yeah the book the bullying OHkfW9iVL04-00701-00163156-00163425 might say like okay you convinced me OHkfW9iVL04-00702-00163426-00163608 I'll steal more from this kid and then OHkfW9iVL04-00703-00163609-00163848 he never gets around to following OHkfW9iVL04-00704-00163849-00164037 through dealing less from the other kid OHkfW9iVL04-00705-00164038-00164268 just think the analogy is flawed because OHkfW9iVL04-00706-00164269-00164406 we're not talking about a schoolyard OHkfW9iVL04-00707-00164407-00164571 bully we're talking about a government OHkfW9iVL04-00708-00164572-00164919 that you know taxes all of us to one OHkfW9iVL04-00709-00164920-00165309 degree or another and they are empowered OHkfW9iVL04-00710-00165310-00165546 to do that yeah and the other factor too OHkfW9iVL04-00711-00165547-00165801 to that is that the bully we don't OHkfW9iVL04-00712-00165802-00166035 presume them to have any really further OHkfW9iVL04-00713-00166036-00166203 motivations whereas we assume that if OHkfW9iVL04-00714-00166204-00166464 government is issuing a tax or if OHkfW9iVL04-00715-00166465-00166677 they're giving a subsidy to someone that OHkfW9iVL04-00716-00166678-00166791 there's a reason for that we're OHkfW9iVL04-00717-00166792-00166962 expecting there to be some greater OHkfW9iVL04-00718-00166963-00167127 societal good to come out of it OHkfW9iVL04-00719-00167128-00167436 and yeah and I I do think that your OHkfW9iVL04-00720-00167437-00167637 point earlier about having everything OHkfW9iVL04-00721-00167638-00167991 being about access to power is a good OHkfW9iVL04-00722-00167992-00168291 one everything about the the game that OHkfW9iVL04-00723-00168292-00168468 you're playing is no longer serving the OHkfW9iVL04-00724-00168469-00168828 customers but but convincing influencing OHkfW9iVL04-00725-00168829-00169121 power and I think I think it's why OHkfW9iVL04-00726-00169122-00169482 Amazon chose DC totally even though OHkfW9iVL04-00727-00169483-00169752 other cities were offering even a OHkfW9iVL04-00728-00169753-00169971 sweeter deal Oh interesting so even OHkfW9iVL04-00729-00169972-00170130 beyond the incentives and what we talked OHkfW9iVL04-00730-00170131-00170361 about the metro infrastructure and OHkfW9iVL04-00731-00170362-00170546 things like that you think it's it's OHkfW9iVL04-00732-00170547-00170951 political yeah an article from unreason OHkfW9iVL04-00733-00170952-00171270 Eric Boehm writes of course being close OHkfW9iVL04-00734-00171271-00171411 to the seat of political power matters OHkfW9iVL04-00735-00171412-00171627 to Virginia's deal comes with the OHkfW9iVL04-00736-00171628-00171813 unwritten promise that Amazon will just OHkfW9iVL04-00737-00171814-00171990 be a stone's throw away from not only OHkfW9iVL04-00738-00171991-00172215 the country's top lawmakers but from the OHkfW9iVL04-00739-00172216-00172395 most important lobbying firms to OHkfW9iVL04-00740-00172396-00172674 yeah I mean to Chloe took my favorite I OHkfW9iVL04-00741-00172675-00172821 love Jeff Proctor he talks a lot about OHkfW9iVL04-00742-00172822-00172995 this I'm in some of his lectures and he OHkfW9iVL04-00743-00172996-00173250 he I mean his basic argument is that if OHkfW9iVL04-00744-00173251-00173475 somebody's handing out power and OHkfW9iVL04-00745-00173476-00173718 influence you as a business are gonna OHkfW9iVL04-00746-00173719-00173874 take that right you're going to use your OHkfW9iVL04-00747-00173875-00174051 money to get that absolutely so it's OHkfW9iVL04-00748-00174052-00174234 about but like I said again to me this OHkfW9iVL04-00749-00174235-00174372 is institutional or this is about the OHkfW9iVL04-00750-00174373-00174537 game or it's about how the game is set OHkfW9iVL04-00751-00174538-00174816 up it's why are we allowing this much OHkfW9iVL04-00752-00174817-00175026 power to be given right we shouldn't we OHkfW9iVL04-00753-00175027-00175149 shouldn't we should limit the amount of OHkfW9iVL04-00754-00175150-00175338 power that's that's available to private OHkfW9iVL04-00755-00175339-00175548 energy yeah Frederic Bastiat makes the OHkfW9iVL04-00756-00175549-00175857 point that if you make plunder easier OHkfW9iVL04-00757-00175858-00176076 than production then people will choose OHkfW9iVL04-00758-00176077-00176319 plunder over production and no mount no OHkfW9iVL04-00759-00176320-00176532 amount of education or or morality or OHkfW9iVL04-00760-00176533-00176844 religion will stop that that's the OHkfW9iVL04-00761-00176845-00176973 incentives are misaligned yeah OHkfW9iVL04-00762-00176974-00177048 absolutely OHkfW9iVL04-00763-00177049-00177318 and so I guess I would sort of implore OHkfW9iVL04-00764-00177319-00177696 you to change your mind Dan and and and OHkfW9iVL04-00765-00177697-00177879 we'll have many conversations on that OHkfW9iVL04-00766-00177880-00178197 this otherwise but I mean I regard the OHkfW9iVL04-00767-00178198-00178449 Amazon tax breaks as an example of OHkfW9iVL04-00768-00178450-00178674 plunder overproduction yeah I believe OHkfW9iVL04-00769-00178675-00178980 what they are taking despite the fact it OHkfW9iVL04-00770-00178981-00179148 would be foolish for them not to take it OHkfW9iVL04-00771-00179149-00179241 because it'd be a competitive OHkfW9iVL04-00772-00179242-00179448 disadvantage because everybody and their OHkfW9iVL04-00773-00179449-00179676 mom who has a company now is getting tax OHkfW9iVL04-00774-00179677-00179787 breaks from the government if they're OHkfW9iVL04-00775-00179788-00179934 big enough right and that's the key is OHkfW9iVL04-00776-00179935-00180228 if they're big enough I would say they OHkfW9iVL04-00777-00180229-00180504 are falling into the trap and they're OHkfW9iVL04-00778-00180505-00180756 influencing us to believe that we can OHkfW9iVL04-00779-00180757-00181182 actually get special favors ahead of and OHkfW9iVL04-00780-00181183-00181389 above of what other people have and and OHkfW9iVL04-00781-00181390-00181695 I find that to be one of the sort of you OHkfW9iVL04-00782-00181696-00181884 quoted Basquiat one of the unseen OHkfW9iVL04-00783-00181885-00182244 consequences of this these big corporate OHkfW9iVL04-00784-00182245-00182484 giveaways that happen and I sound a lot OHkfW9iVL04-00785-00182485-00182820 now like Alexandre Ocasio cortes are the OHkfW9iVL04-00786-00182821-00183051 favorite Democratic Socialist new member OHkfW9iVL04-00787-00183052-00183339 of Congress from New York City because OHkfW9iVL04-00788-00183340-00183486 she's been talking about this as a OHkfW9iVL04-00789-00183487-00183651 corporate giveaway program as well but OHkfW9iVL04-00790-00183652-00183816 we may have different reasons for saying OHkfW9iVL04-00791-00183817-00184089 this and yet we're both somehow and OHkfW9iVL04-00792-00184090-00184446 we're both suffered in a very principled OHkfW9iVL04-00793-00184447-00184758 stance on it which I respect yes but I OHkfW9iVL04-00794-00184759-00185031 but I think there is some reason that we OHkfW9iVL04-00795-00185032-00185298 agree on this and I would implore folks OHkfW9iVL04-00796-00185299-00185499 to look at that unseen consequence of OHkfW9iVL04-00797-00185500-00185661 going to the state the government and OHkfW9iVL04-00798-00185662-00185801 asking them for special OHkfW9iVL04-00799-00185802-00185963 favours over others because that then OHkfW9iVL04-00800-00185964-00186144 sets up a situation where that continues OHkfW9iVL04-00801-00186145-00186444 going forward well unfortunately we have OHkfW9iVL04-00802-00186445-00186701 exhausted our time together thank you OHkfW9iVL04-00803-00186702-00186833 each of you this was a fun conversation OHkfW9iVL04-00804-00186834-00187107 and we look

OMds4DB8IQQ-00012-00005704-00005919 said hey if we want to use this and you OMds4DB8IQQ-00013-00005920-00006249 want to use this on a surface as you see OMds4DB8IQQ-00014-00006250-00006521 it's getting very hot now you wanna you OMds4DB8IQQ-00015-00006522-00006762 know put on a surface it's gonna burn OMds4DB8IQQ-00016-00006763-00007179 the the surface let's say if your OMds4DB8IQQ-00017-00007180-00007445 surface is wood so this will really work OMds4DB8IQQ-00018-00007447-00008058 on steel surface or metal or let's say OMds4DB8IQQ-00019-00008059-00008256 rocks and stuff that you have that it OMds4DB8IQQ-00020-00008257-00008721 will not cut or burn the surface but if OMds4DB8IQQ-00021-00008722-00008970 you want to do it on your cutting mat or OMds4DB8IQQ-00022-00008971-00009150 you want to do it on a wood surface like OMds4DB8IQQ-00023-00009151-00009483 this one a lot of people say hey if we OMds4DB8IQQ-00024-00009484-00009786 use this is

want to cut a webbing like OMds4DB8IQQ-00043-00015006-00015261 this it's gonna put a mark on the wood OMds4DB8IQQ-00044-00015262-00015540 table that job so what you do is you add OMds4DB8IQQ-00045-00015541-00016044 one of these to your this is the the OMds4DB8IQQ-00046-00016044-00016335 foot that we offer on our website and OMds4DB8IQQ-00047-00016336-00016739 you just add that

OMds4DB8IQQ-00050-00017578-00017715 which you don't need and I tell you why OMds4DB8IQQ-00051-00017716-00017943 and I'm sure you could find a wrench OMds4DB8IQQ-00052-00017944-00018159 like this around the house so all you OMds4DB8IQQ-00053-00018160-00018474 have to do is there is a lower screw OMds4DB8IQQ-00054-00018475-00018732 that you could just open it up you don't OMds4DB8IQQ-00055-00018733-00018942 have to open it all the way you just OMds4DB8IQQ-00056-00018943-00019146 loosen it up you know you don't have to OMds4DB8IQQ-00057-00019147-00019844 take it out okay the way I do it and you OMds4DB8IQQ-00058-00019845-00020069 put this one in now if we see it bad OMds4DB8IQQ-00059-00020070-00020388 enough you gotta go more let's go ahead OMds4DB8IQQ-00060-00020389-00020841 and open it up more and put it all the OMds4DB8IQQ-00061-00020842-00021168 way in there and would sit right hit OMds4DB8IQQ-00062-00021169-00021360 right in there see I'm doing OMds4DB8IQQ-00063-00021361-00021806 you could go higher up or down I'm going OMds4DB8IQQ-00064-00021807-00021987 to do it right in the middle and the OMds4DB8IQQ-00065-00021988-00022305 whole idea is that the knife won't hit OMds4DB8IQQ-00066-00022306-00022669 the surface that you have OMds4DB8IQQ-00067-00022670-00023043 all right one second let me go ahead and OMds4DB8IQQ-00068-00023044-00023790 tie this up and that's it one more try OMds4DB8IQQ-00069-00023791-00024102 to make sure okay so now you see I have OMds4DB8IQQ-00070-00024103-00024522 a heat color that has a bottom a foot OMds4DB8IQQ-00071-00024523-00024893 all right so when you turn this on and OMds4DB8IQQ-00072-00024894-00025200 let's say you have this is a Oxford OMds4DB8IQQ-00073-00025201-00025625 fabric that's usually people want to cut OMds4DB8IQQ-00074-00025626-00025820 this and they want to make sure it won't OMds4DB8IQQ-00075-00025822-00026136 fray or it won't open up all you have to OMds4DB8IQQ-00076-00026137-00026331 do when it gets hot put this underneath OMds4DB8IQQ-00077-00026332-00026601 and OMds4DB8IQQ-00078-00026602-00027573 go you see put it underneath and go see OMds4DB8IQQ-00079-00027574-00027762 now I don't have a pattern I'm just OMds4DB8IQQ-00080-00027763-00028185 going or if you have a deeper and you OMds4DB8IQQ-00081-00028186-00028346 wanted to cut the end of the deeper you OMds4DB8IQQ-00082-00028347-00029055 see now I'm using the the tail you see OMds4DB8IQQ-00083-00029056-00029371 there is no mark on the table whatsoever OMds4DB8IQQ-00084-00029372-00029931 again so if you want to do I could see OMds4DB8IQQ-00085-00029932-00030357 use my hand to see it seals the ends are OMds4DB8IQQ-00086-00030358-00030873 sealed so sealed so here I'm trying I'm OMds4DB8IQQ-00087-00030874-00031224 cutting and I'm using the servers there OMds4DB8IQQ-00088-00031225-00031727 is no there is no no cut OMds4DB8IQQ-00089-00031728-00032168 no no burn on the table so this is a OMds4DB8IQQ-00090-00032169-00032457 great great idea here I have some OMds4DB8IQQ-00091-00032458-00032696 webbing which the webbing is you know OMds4DB8IQQ-00092-00032697-00033074 all you have to do now we could hold it OMds4DB8IQQ-00093-00033075-00033882 and cut there is nothing no sir no mark OMds4DB8IQQ-00094-00033883-00034164 on the ground from the surface and ready OMds4DB8IQQ-00095-00034165-00034512 with you again you have to add this part OMds4DB8IQQ-00096-00034513-00034889 or food to

OpBy_zYeqW0-00000-00000028-00000436 [Music] OpBy_zYeqW0-00001-00000437-00000722 this video demonstrates how to create OpBy_zYeqW0-00002-00000723-00001127 links within a Google slides document so OpBy_zYeqW0-00003-00001128-00001466 in my student portfolio I have created OpBy_zYeqW0-00004-00001467-00001748 the name all about me and what I'm going OpBy_zYeqW0-00005-00001748-00001991 to do is for item one up here in this OpBy_zYeqW0-00006-00001992-00002234 table of contents I'm going to change OpBy_zYeqW0-00007-00002235-00002780 that title to all about me and what's OpBy_zYeqW0-00008-00002781-00003224 great about Google slides is it allows a OpBy_zYeqW0-00009-00003225-00003527 person to make links both the outside OpBy_zYeqW0-00010-00003528-00003872 and within this Google slides document OpBy_zYeqW0-00011-00003872-00004100 so I'm going to click on the insert link OpBy_zYeqW0-00012-00004101-00004451 or control k also works and you see it OpBy_zYeqW0-00013-00004452-00005104 says it also can find slides in this in OpBy_zYeqW0-00014-00005105-00005426 this document so i can go to the next OpBy_zYeqW0-00015-00005427-00005984 slide or a numbered slide and apply ok OpBy_zYeqW0-00016-00005985-00006229 so let's see if this works go to next OpBy_zYeqW0-00017-00006230-00006472 slide and there it goes and then i can OpBy_zYeqW0-00018-00006473-00006910 also put a link back to the table of OpBy_zYeqW0-00019-00006911-00007234 contents in the top and so in this one OpBy_zYeqW0-00020-00007236-00007367 I'm going to look for slides in the OpBy_zYeqW0-00021-00007368-00007619 presentation and it's going to be slide OpBy_zYeqW0-00022-00007620-00007892 one student portfolio and apply and then OpBy_zYeqW0-00023-00007893-00008252 that operates as a link to just clicking OpBy_zYeqW0-00024-00008253-00008531 on that and it goes back to the top so OpBy_zYeqW0-00025-00008532-00008702 that's how to insert links I've already OpBy_zYeqW0-00026-00008703-00009026 showed how to insert one in an image for OpBy_zYeqW0-00027-00009027-00009349 all about me but once your portfolio is OpBy_zYeqW0-00028-00009350-00009535 put together you can continue to add OpBy_zYeqW0-00029-00009536-00009853 items and title them and to the front OpBy_zYeqW0-00030-00009854-00010160 page acts as an actual table of contents OpBy_zYeqW0-00031-00010161-00010430 with links to further pages thanks i OpBy_zYeqW0-00032-00010431-00010628 hope this is useful as you create your OpBy_zYeqW0-00033-00010629-00011291 digital student portfolio OpBy_zYeqW0-00034-00011292-00011332 you OpBy_zYeqW0-00035-00011333-00011612 [Music] ORA00YQ5FFA-00000-00000070-00000246 this audio production was made in ORA00YQ5FFA-00001-00000247-00000823 collaboration with audible anarchist ORA00YQ5FFA-00002-00000824-00001378 Chapter three death to politics if ORA00YQ5FFA-00003-00001379-00001616 politics were only the politics of ORA00YQ5FFA-00004-00001617-00001862 politicians it would be enough to turn ORA00YQ5FFA-00005-00001863-00002150 off the TV and the radio to no longer ORA00YQ5FFA-00006-00002151-00002396 hear it talked about but it so happens ORA00YQ5FFA-00007-00002397-00002663 that France which is the country of ORA00YQ5FFA-00008-00002664-00002959 human rights only for show is well and ORA00YQ5FFA-00009-00002960-00003296 truly the country of power all social ORA00YQ5FFA-00010-00003297-00003539 relations in France are power relations ORA00YQ5FFA-00011-00003540-00003836 and in this country what has not been ORA00YQ5FFA-00012-00003836-00004175 socialized so that there is politics at ORA00YQ5FFA-00013-00004176-00004456 every level in the associations and in ORA00YQ5FFA-00014-00004457-00004659 the collectives in the villages and the ORA00YQ5FFA-00015-00004660-00005006 corporations in the mill use all the ORA00YQ5FFA-00016-00005007-00005293 mill use it's at work everywhere ORA00YQ5FFA-00017-00005294-00005506 maneuvering operating seeking ORA00YQ5FFA-00018-00005507-00005777 appreciation it never speaks honestly ORA00YQ5FFA-00019-00005778-00006152 because it is afraid politics in France ORA00YQ5FFA-00020-00006153-00006518 is a cultural disease any time people ORA00YQ5FFA-00021-00006519-00006815 get together no matter what set issue no ORA00YQ5FFA-00022-00006816-00007094 matter what the purpose is and provided ORA00YQ5FFA-00023-00007095-00007352 it lasts for a while it takes on the ORA00YQ5FFA-00024-00007353-00007619 structure of a little Court society and ORA00YQ5FFA-00025-00007620-00007883 there is always someone who takes ORA00YQ5FFA-00026-00007884-00008222 himself for the Sun King those who ORA00YQ5FFA-00027-00008223-00008474 approach Foucault for having developed a ORA00YQ5FFA-00028-00008475-00008747 rather stifling ontology of power in ORA00YQ5FFA-00029-00008748-00009023 which goodness love of one's neighbor ORA00YQ5FFA-00030-00009024-00009266 and the Christian virtues have a ORA00YQ5FFA-00031-00009267-00009410 difficult time finding their place ORA00YQ5FFA-00032-00009411-00009713 should reproach him rather for having ORA00YQ5FFA-00033-00009714-00009962 thought in an admirable way but perhaps ORA00YQ5FFA-00034-00009963-00010397 in a way that is a bit too French France ORA00YQ5FFA-00035-00010398-00010739 thus remains a court society at the ORA00YQ5FFA-00036-00010740-00010988 summit of the state even in the mill use ORA00YQ5FFA-00037-00010989-00011219 that declare its perdition most ORA00YQ5FFA-00038-00011220-00011513 radically as if the ancien régime as a ORA00YQ5FFA-00039-00011514-00011765 system of mores had never died ORA00YQ5FFA-00040-00011766-00012038 as if the French Revolution had only ORA00YQ5FFA-00041-00012039-00012227 been a perverse stratagem for ORA00YQ5FFA-00042-00012228-00012440 maintaining the ancien régime everywhere ORA00YQ5FFA-00043-00012441-00012713 behind the change of phraseology ORA00YQ5FFA-00044-00012714-00013085 and for protecting it from attack since ORA00YQ5FFA-00045-00013086-00013357 it's supposed to have been abolished ORA00YQ5FFA-00046-00013358-00013705 those who claim that a local politics ORA00YQ5FFA-00047-00013706-00014028 closer to the territories and the people ORA00YQ5FFA-00048-00014029-00014199 is what will save us from the ORA00YQ5FFA-00049-00014200-00014459 decomposition of national politics can ORA00YQ5FFA-00050-00014460-00014741 defend such an insanity only by holding ORA00YQ5FFA-00051-00014743-00014966 their noses because it's evident that ORA00YQ5FFA-00052-00014968-00015222 what they offer is only a less ORA00YQ5FFA-00053-00015222-00015480 professional cruder and in a word ORA00YQ5FFA-00054-00015481-00015753 degenerate version of what there is for ORA00YQ5FFA-00055-00015754-00016166 us it's not a matter of doing politics ORA00YQ5FFA-00056-00016168-00016406 differently but of doing something ORA00YQ5FFA-00057-00016407-00016752 different from politics politics makes ORA00YQ5FFA-00058-00016753-00017169 one empty and greedy this national ORA00YQ5FFA-00059-00017170-00017384 syndrome obviously doesn't spare the

ORA00YQ5FFA-00101-00029436-00029651 my hypothesis it's not necessarily ORA00YQ5FFA-00102-00029652-00029933 correct but from my experience I have ORA00YQ5FFA-00103-00029933-00030145 the strong feeling that something else ORA00YQ5FFA-00104-00030147-00030335 is at play in these meetings the ORA00YQ5FFA-00105-00030336-00030610 mobilizations the radical organizations ORA00YQ5FFA-00106-00030611-00030893

incredible actions it was ORA00YQ5FFA-00117-00033924-00034121 the sight of wonderful Encounters of ORA00YQ5FFA-00118-00034122-00034442 informal conversations of reunions after

ORA00YQ5FFA-00127-00036681-00036889 it possible to thwart the mundane ORA00YQ5FFA-00128-00036890-00037124 governmental operation consisting in ORA00YQ5FFA-00129-00037125-00037333 reducing its opponents to powerlessness ORA00YQ5FFA-00130-00037334-00037543 by setting them at odds with each other ORA00YQ5FFA-00131-00037544-00037805 under the categories of violent and ORA00YQ5FFA-00132-00037806-00038139 nonviolent although it was rechristened ORA00YQ5FFA-00133-00038140-00038489 plus de la commune plasti la république ORA00YQ5FFA-00134-00038490-00038729 was not able to deploy the smallest ORA00YQ5FFA-00135-00038730-00039020 embryo of what was commonly in the ORA00YQ5FFA-00136-00039021-00039299 squares movement in Spain or in Greece ORA00YQ5FFA-00137-00039300-00039548 to say nothing of Tahrir Square simply ORA00YQ5FFA-00138-00039549-00039733 because we didn't have the strength to ORA00YQ5FFA-00139-00039734-00040001 impose a real occupation of the square ORA00YQ5FFA-00140-00040002-00040262 on the police but if there was a ORA00YQ5FFA-00141-00040263-00040499 fundamental defect in nuit des Beaux ORA00YQ5FFA-00142-00040500-00040643 from the start ORA00YQ5FFA-00143-00040644-00040865 was on the pretext of going beyond ORA00YQ5FFA-00144-00040866-00041141 classical politics the way in which it ORA00YQ5FFA-00145-00041142-00041408 reproduced and staged the latter ORA00YQ5FFA-00146-00041409-00041645 principle axiom according to which ORA00YQ5FFA-00147-00041646-00041999 politics is a particular sphere separate ORA00YQ5FFA-00148-00042000-00042287 from life an activity consisting in ORA00YQ5FFA-00149-00042288-00042584 speaking debating and voting with the ORA00YQ5FFA-00150-00042585-00042902 result that nuit debout came to resemble ORA00YQ5FFA-00151-00042903-00043223 an imaginary parliament a kind of ORA00YQ5FFA-00152-00043224-00043412 legislative organ with no executive ORA00YQ5FFA-00153-00043413-00043736 function and hence a manifestation of ORA00YQ5FFA-00154-00043737-00044030 powerlessness that was sure to please ORA00YQ5FFA-00155-00044031-00044237 the media and the governing authorities ORA00YQ5FFA-00156-00044238-00044555 one participant sums up what happened or ORA00YQ5FFA-00157-00044556-00044861 rather what didn't happen at nuit debout ORA00YQ5FFA-00158-00044862-00045197 the only shared position perhaps is the ORA00YQ5FFA-00159-00045198-00045497 desire for an endless discussion the ORA00YQ5FFA-00160-00045498-00045755 unsaid and the vague have always been ORA00YQ5FFA-00161-00045756-00045983 privileged to the detriment of taking a ORA00YQ5FFA-00162-00045984-00046226 position which would be selective by ORA00YQ5FFA-00163-00046227-00046298 definition ORA00YQ5FFA-00164-00046299-00046811 hence supposedly non-inclusive another ORA00YQ5FFA-00165-00046812-00047062 offers the following appraisal a ORA00YQ5FFA-00166-00047063-00047315 succession of speeches limited to two ORA00YQ5FFA-00167-00047316-00047522 minutes and never followed by any ORA00YQ5FFA-00168-00047523-00047806 discussion could not fail to be tiresome ORA00YQ5FFA-00169-00047807-00048095 once the surprise had worn off at seeing ORA00YQ5FFA-00170-00048096-00048302 so many people excited about expressing ORA00YQ5FFA-00171-00048303-00048575 themselves the absence of anything at ORA00YQ5FFA-00172-00048576-00048824 stake started to empty these meetings of ORA00YQ5FFA-00173-00048825-00049163 the sense that they appeared to have we ORA00YQ5FFA-00174-00049164-00049385 were here to be together but the rules ORA00YQ5FFA-00175-00049386-00049718 separated us we were here to exercise ORA00YQ5FFA-00176-00049719-00049976 the curse of our respective solitudes ORA00YQ5FFA-00177-00049977-00050213 but the assemblies gave the curse a ORA00YQ5FFA-00178-00050214-00050621 glaring visibility for me the assembly ORA00YQ5FFA-00179-00050622-00050828 should be the place where the collective ORA00YQ5FFA-00180-00050829-00051131 is experienced felt explored confirmed ORA00YQ5FFA-00181-00051132-00051482 and finally if only in a punctual way ORA00YQ5FFA-00182-00051483-00051892 declared but for that it would have been ORA00YQ5FFA-00183-00051894-00052132 necessary for real discussions to occur ORA00YQ5FFA-00184-00052133-00052390 the problem was that we didn't talk to ORA00YQ5FFA-00185-00052391-00052649 each other we only spoke one after the ORA00YQ5FFA-00186-00052650-00052928 other the worst of what we meant to ORA00YQ5FFA-00187-00052929-00053201 avert on the plus unfolded there in a ORA00YQ5FFA-00188-00053202-00053513 general and comprehension a collective ORA00YQ5FFA-00189-00053514-00053782 impotence that mistakes the spectacle of ORA00YQ5FFA-00190-00053783-00054019 solitudes for the invention ORA00YQ5FFA-00191-00054020-00054347 of an active collective a conjuration of ORA00YQ5FFA-00192-00054348-00054607 blockades finally got the better of my ORA00YQ5FFA-00193-00054608-00054901 patients the key person of our committee ORA00YQ5FFA-00194-00054902-00055156 no doubt without any intentional ill ORA00YQ5FFA-00195-00055157-00055373 will on her part had a special gift for ORA00YQ5FFA-00196-00055374-00055646 discouraging with all sorts of logistic ORA00YQ5FFA-00197-00055647-00055900 and procedural quibbles every attempt to ORA00YQ5FFA-00198-00055901-00056110 reintroduce some stakes into the ORA00YQ5FFA-00199-00056111-00056404 functioning of the assemblies and ORA00YQ5FFA-00200-00056404-00056824 finally like so many others I sometimes ORA00YQ5FFA-00201-00056825-00057013 had the impression that there was a kind ORA00YQ5FFA-00202-00057014-00057268 of opaque power structure that furnished ORA00YQ5FFA-00203-00057269-00057523 the major orientations of the movement ORA00YQ5FFA-00204-00057524-00057799 that there was another level of ORA00YQ5FFA-00205-00057800-00058000 decision-making than that of the ORA00YQ5FFA-00206-00058001-00058243 ordinary assemblies the micro ORA00YQ5FFA-00207-00058244-00058501 bureaucracy that ran nuit debout in ORA00YQ5FFA-00208-00058502-00058723 Paris and that was literally a ORA00YQ5FFA-00209-00058724-00059050 bureaucracy of the microphone was caught ORA00YQ5FFA-00210-00059051-00059329 in this uncomfortable situation that it ORA00YQ5FFA-00211-00059330-00059512 could only roll out its vertical ORA00YQ5FFA-00212-00059513-00059776 strategies hidden between the spectacle ORA00YQ5FFA-00213-00059777-00060110 of horizontality presented each day at 6 ORA00YQ5FFA-00214-00060111-00060329 p.m. by the sovereign Assembly of ORA00YQ5FFA-00215-00060329-00060586 emptiness that was held there with it's ORA00YQ5FFA-00216-00060587-00060937 changing walk-on actors that is why what ORA00YQ5FFA-00217-00060938-00061123 was said there basically didn't matter ORA00YQ5FFA-00218-00061124-00061447 much and least of all to its organizers ORA00YQ5FFA-00219-00061448-00061687 their ambitions and strategies were ORA00YQ5FFA-00220-00061688-00061847 deployed elsewhere than on the square ORA00YQ5FFA-00221-00061848-00062143 and in a language whose cynicism could ORA00YQ5FFA-00222-00062144-00062413 be given free rein only on the terrace ORA00YQ5FFA-00223-00062414-00062741 of a hipster cafe in the last stage of ORA00YQ5FFA-00224-00062741-00063110 intoxication between accomplices nuit ORA00YQ5FFA-00225-00063111-00063469 debout showed in an exemplary way how ORA00YQ5FFA-00226-00063470-00063813 direct democracy collective intelligence ORA00YQ5FFA-00227-00063814-00064172 horizontality and hyper formalism could ORA00YQ5FFA-00228-00064173-00064441 function as a means of control and a ORA00YQ5FFA-00229-00064442-00064729 method of sabotage this might seem ORA00YQ5FFA-00230-00064730-00064985 dreadful but nuit debout nearly ORA00YQ5FFA-00231-00064986-00065224 everywhere in France Illustrated line by ORA00YQ5FFA-00232-00065225-00065488 line what was said about the movement of ORA00YQ5FFA-00233-00065489-00065887 the squares and to our friends and was ORA00YQ5FFA-00234-00065888-00066098 judged to be so scandalous by many ORA00YQ5FFA-00235-00066099-00066256 militants at the moment of its ORA00YQ5FFA-00236-00066257-00066647 publication to the point that since the ORA00YQ5FFA-00237-00066648-00066804 summer of 2016 ORA00YQ5FFA-00238-00066805-00067121 every time an assembly begins to turn in ORA00YQ5FFA-00239-00067122-00067400 circles and nothing has said ORA00YQ5FFA-00240-00067401-00067601 yonder rambling succession of leftist ORA00YQ5FFA-00241-00067602-00067850 monologues there's almost always someone ORA00YQ5FFA-00242-00067851-00068341 who will shout no please not nuit debout ORA00YQ5FFA-00243-00068342-00068636 this is the huge credit that must be ORA00YQ5FFA-00244-00068637-00068987 granted nuit debout it made the misery ORA00YQ5FFA-00245-00068988-00069236 of assembly ISM not just a theoretical ORA00YQ5FFA-00246-00069237-00069635 certainty but a shared experience but in ORA00YQ5FFA-00247-00069636-00069791 the fantasy of the assembly and ORA00YQ5FFA-00248-00069792-00070007 decision-making there's clearly ORA00YQ5FFA-00249-00070008-00070484 something that escapes any argument this ORA00YQ5FFA-00250-00070485-00070697 has to do with the fact that the fantasy ORA00YQ5FFA-00251-00070698-00071066 is implanted deeply in life and not at ORA00YQ5FFA-00252-00071067-00071356 the surface of political convictions at ORA00YQ5FFA-00253-00071357-00071615 bottom the problem of political ORA00YQ5FFA-00254-00071616-00071858 decision-making only redoubles and ORA00YQ5FFA-00255-00071859-00072164 displaces to a collective scale what is ORA00YQ5FFA-00256-00072165-00072392 already an illusion in the individual ORA00YQ5FFA-00257-00072393-00072707 the belief that our actions our thoughts ORA00YQ5FFA-00258-00072708-00073004 our gestures our words and our behaviors ORA00YQ5FFA-00259-00073005-00073268 result from decisions emanating from a ORA00YQ5FFA-00260-00073269-00073538 central conscious and sovereign entity ORA00YQ5FFA-00261-00073539-00073964 the self the fantasy of the sovereignty ORA00YQ5FFA-00262-00073965-00074291 of the assembly only repeats on the ORA00YQ5FFA-00263-00074292-00074495 collective plane the sovereignty of the ORA00YQ5FFA-00264-00074496-00074858 self when one knows all that monarchy ORA00YQ5FFA-00265-00074859-00075095 owes to the development of the notion of

ORA00YQ5FFA-00381-00108522-00108863 gestures and they attest this down to ORA00YQ5FFA-00382-00108864-00109078 the words they spray paint on the walls ORA00YQ5FFA-00383-00109079-00109469 of the cities

interventions that are political ORA00YQ5FFA-00389-00110895-00111125 because they make a decisive stand ORA00YQ5FFA-00390-00111126-00111344 against something in a given situation ORA00YQ5FFA-00391-00111345-00111607 and because they express an affirmation ORA00YQ5FFA-00392-00111608-00111913 concerning the world they desire ORA00YQ5FFA-00393-00111914-00112246 political is that

not a social movement ORA00YQ5FFA-00425-00121033-00121407 but a political conflict in the same way ORA00YQ5FFA-00426-00121408-00121889 as 1968 this is shown by its effects by ORA00YQ5FFA-00427-00121890-00122132 the irreversibilities that it produced ORA00YQ5FFA-00428-00122133-00122474 by the lives that it caused to take a ORA00YQ5FFA-00429-00122475-00122745 different path

OaHsxPwI0XE-00098-00021040-00021319 okay well hello everybody uh so it's OaHsxPwI0XE-00099-00021320-00021486 real pleasure to be here so i thought i OaHsxPwI0XE-00100-00021487-00021703 would tell you a little bit of a story OaHsxPwI0XE-00101-00021704-00021911 kind of what i do on a daily basis and OaHsxPwI0XE-00102-00021912-00022103 then um obviously kind of dive into the OaHsxPwI0XE-00103-00022104-00022383 panel discussion so um what mindset is OaHsxPwI0XE-00104-00022384-00022630 today has really changed over the years OaHsxPwI0XE-00105-00022631-00022719 i thought it would give you a little bit OaHsxPwI0XE-00106-00022720-00022967 of background so today mindset is an OaHsxPwI0XE-00107-00022968-00023150 events business we focus on human OaHsxPwI0XE-00108-00023151-00023342 engagement uh you can see our motto OaHsxPwI0XE-00109-00023343-00023550 there is events that connect and events OaHsxPwI0XE-00110-00023551-00023767 that matter and today i want to talk to OaHsxPwI0XE-00111-00023768-00023942 you talk to you about OaHsxPwI0XE-00112-00023943-00024191 creating accessibility to systems OaHsxPwI0XE-00113-00024192-00024430 thinking and the way i like to tell this OaHsxPwI0XE-00114-00024431-00024678 story which i've told a couple times is OaHsxPwI0XE-00115-00024679-00024903 it's about creating a front door to OaHsxPwI0XE-00116-00024904-00025127 systems thinking and in my case i run a OaHsxPwI0XE-00117-00025128-00025222 business OaHsxPwI0XE-00118-00025223-00025407 which is really a learning business an OaHsxPwI0XE-00119-00025408-00025670 education-based business kind of uh OaHsxPwI0XE-00120-00025672-00025911 behind the door it's an events business OaHsxPwI0XE-00121-00025912-00026127 right so i think the last panel we were OaHsxPwI0XE-00122-00026127-00026239 talking about OaHsxPwI0XE-00123-00026239-00026399 um you know creating learning OaHsxPwI0XE-00124-00026400-00026527 organizations OaHsxPwI0XE-00125-00026527-00026758 mindset is a learning organization and OaHsxPwI0XE-00126-00026760-00027014 we just kind of happen to be an advanced OaHsxPwI0XE-00127-00027016-00027199 business so how do we really create OaHsxPwI0XE-00128-00027200-00027446 these uh easily accessible easily OaHsxPwI0XE-00129-00027447-00027735 locatable front doors into the work we OaHsxPwI0XE-00130-00027736-00027862 do in OaHsxPwI0XE-00131-00027863-00028007 education OaHsxPwI0XE-00132-00028008-00028102 so let me give you a little bit of OaHsxPwI0XE-00133-00028104-00028255 background so laura mentioned we've been OaHsxPwI0XE-00134-00028256-00028495 friends for a long time and so uh this OaHsxPwI0XE-00135-00028495-00028870 is going back so this was 2010 when i OaHsxPwI0XE-00136-00028872-00029046 met derek and laura OaHsxPwI0XE-00137-00029047-00029279 we were working on this incredible OaHsxPwI0XE-00138-00029280-00029495 project in very rural central OaHsxPwI0XE-00139-00029495-00029646 pennsylvania OaHsxPwI0XE-00140-00029647-00029870 called think stem and it was an OaHsxPwI0XE-00141-00029872-00030158 after-school stem program OaHsxPwI0XE-00142-00030160-00030358 kind of that was the door right that was OaHsxPwI0XE-00143-00030360-00030574 the front door into systems thinking so OaHsxPwI0XE-00144-00030575-00030790 we created this after school program OaHsxPwI0XE-00145-00030791-00030943 that's really clear for people to OaHsxPwI0XE-00146-00030944-00031199 understand right great my kids can go OaHsxPwI0XE-00147-00031200-00031455 to an after-school program and it's on a OaHsxPwI0XE-00148-00031456-00031623 topic called stem which you know people OaHsxPwI0XE-00149-00031624-00031807 recognize right so we got them in the OaHsxPwI0XE-00150-00031808-00032023 door and really what we spent time doing OaHsxPwI0XE-00151-00032024-00032311 with them was all about systems thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00152-00032312-00032623 and model building and metacognition and OaHsxPwI0XE-00153-00032624-00032815 this team that i want to show you this OaHsxPwI0XE-00154-00032816-00032911 team OaHsxPwI0XE-00155-00032912-00033231 these kids have graduated uh since this OaHsxPwI0XE-00156-00033232-00033343 time OaHsxPwI0XE-00157-00033344-00033487 and they probably don't know how much of OaHsxPwI0XE-00158-00033488-00033783 an impact they actually had on me and my OaHsxPwI0XE-00159-00033784-00033974 business and my work that i've done for OaHsxPwI0XE-00160-00033975-00034174 almost 20 years now OaHsxPwI0XE-00161-00034175-00034287 so OaHsxPwI0XE-00162-00034288-00034439 the OaHsxPwI0XE-00163-00034440-00034599 the students you see were doing a OaHsxPwI0XE-00164-00034600-00034951 project on volcanoes and i walked over OaHsxPwI0XE-00165-00034952-00035151 to this group and they were telling me OaHsxPwI0XE-00166-00035152-00035351 all about the volcano but they were OaHsxPwI0XE-00167-00035352-00035511 telling me about the volcano from kind OaHsxPwI0XE-00168-00035512-00035602 of like a OaHsxPwI0XE-00169-00035603-00035830 geological perspective right and kind of OaHsxPwI0XE-00170-00035831-00036023 like the parts of the volcano we could OaHsxPwI0XE-00171-00036024-00036287 all see so we could see you know the OaHsxPwI0XE-00172-00036288-00036455 base of the volcano they were talking to OaHsxPwI0XE-00173-00036456-00036702 me about the rocks and the volcano OaHsxPwI0XE-00174-00036703-00036862 and at that point i kind of was like oh OaHsxPwI0XE-00175-00036863-00037046 this is great yeah thanks for sharing OaHsxPwI0XE-00176-00037047-00037359 and as i almost started walking away OaHsxPwI0XE-00177-00037360-00037502 one of the members of the team said but OaHsxPwI0XE-00178-00037503-00037662 wait OaHsxPwI0XE-00179-00037663-00037862 and when i went back i said yeah what OaHsxPwI0XE-00180-00037863-00038087 would you like to share and OaHsxPwI0XE-00181-00038088-00038279 one of them said but we looked at the OaHsxPwI0XE-00182-00038280-00038502 volcano from the perspective of fear OaHsxPwI0XE-00183-00038503-00038646 also OaHsxPwI0XE-00184-00038647-00038951 and i was at that moment recognizing the OaHsxPwI0XE-00185-00038952-00039143 true power of the work that we were OaHsxPwI0XE-00186-00039144-00039295 doing with these sixth through eighth OaHsxPwI0XE-00187-00039296-00039583 graders and so this conversation really OaHsxPwI0XE-00188-00039584-00039718 started then to evolve into a OaHsxPwI0XE-00189-00039719-00039959 conversation of well so what did OaHsxPwI0XE-00190-00039960-00040095 looking at the volcano from a OaHsxPwI0XE-00191-00040096-00040318 perspective of fear tell you OaHsxPwI0XE-00192-00040319-00040527 well anybody who lives in a community OaHsxPwI0XE-00193-00040528-00040783 that has a volcano near them they have OaHsxPwI0XE-00194-00040784-00040951 to think systemically right they have to OaHsxPwI0XE-00195-00040952-00041151 think about fear tells them that they OaHsxPwI0XE-00196-00041152-00041351 need systems to alleviate some of that OaHsxPwI0XE-00197-00041352-00041574 fear including safety systems and alarm OaHsxPwI0XE-00198-00041575-00041687 systems OaHsxPwI0XE-00199-00041688-00041879 that their infrastructure has to be OaHsxPwI0XE-00200-00041880-00042087 designed to deal with changes in the OaHsxPwI0XE-00201-00042088-00042343 volcano and the danger levels they had OaHsxPwI0XE-00202-00042344-00042551 to work with the home building sector to OaHsxPwI0XE-00203-00042552-00042839 create roofs that if ashes or rocks came OaHsxPwI0XE-00204-00042840-00043015 out of the volcano that they wouldn't go OaHsxPwI0XE-00205-00043016-00043239 onto houses and and catch the houses on OaHsxPwI0XE-00206-00043240-00043327 fire OaHsxPwI0XE-00207-00043328-00043646 so this amazing conversation i had OaHsxPwI0XE-00208-00043647-00043839 led me to really start to think about a OaHsxPwI0XE-00209-00043840-00044158 couple different uh questions uh for me OaHsxPwI0XE-00210-00044159-00044430 and i thought well kids are doing it and OaHsxPwI0XE-00211-00044431-00044583 you know eric you know laura and i like OaHsxPwI0XE-00212-00044584-00044830 to talk about what's it right OaHsxPwI0XE-00213-00044831-00045046 kids are systems thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00214-00045047-00045199 and they're capable of doing that we're OaHsxPwI0XE-00215-00045200-00045430 seeing evidence of this at a really OaHsxPwI0XE-00216-00045431-00045543 young age OaHsxPwI0XE-00217-00045544-00045695 and so my question became kind of what OaHsxPwI0XE-00218-00045696-00045902 about adults right here we are working OaHsxPwI0XE-00219-00045903-00046111 with kids what about adults OaHsxPwI0XE-00220-00046112-00046374 are they able to do it being systems OaHsxPwI0XE-00221-00046375-00046567 thinking so of course that project kind OaHsxPwI0XE-00222-00046568-00046815 of came came to an end but for the next OaHsxPwI0XE-00223-00046816-00047079 10 years was really me spending time OaHsxPwI0XE-00224-00047080-00047239 building my business OaHsxPwI0XE-00225-00047240-00047486 and what i had done was over those years OaHsxPwI0XE-00226-00047487-00047702 of trying to figure out if adults could OaHsxPwI0XE-00227-00047703-00047999 do it being systems thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00228-00048000-00048223 i i started down kind of a bad pathway OaHsxPwI0XE-00229-00048224-00048343 because i was really focused on OaHsxPwI0XE-00230-00048344-00048623 organizational development and helping OaHsxPwI0XE-00231-00048624-00048807 organizations be better and helping OaHsxPwI0XE-00232-00048808-00049046 people you know build better teams and OaHsxPwI0XE-00233-00049047-00049230 you know working at we're talking about OaHsxPwI0XE-00234-00049231-00049495 vision mission capacity learning so vmcl OaHsxPwI0XE-00235-00049496-00049735 work but the business i had created it OaHsxPwI0XE-00236-00049736-00049879 was kind of like the front door to the OaHsxPwI0XE-00237-00049880-00050167 business was on the 200th floor of a bus OaHsxPwI0XE-00238-00050168-00050358 of a high-rise so you had to go down OaHsxPwI0XE-00239-00050359-00050527 this alley and you had to find the OaHsxPwI0XE-00240-00050528-00050758 building you had to climb all the stairs OaHsxPwI0XE-00241-00050759-00050935 and you had to get to the 200th floor to OaHsxPwI0XE-00242-00050936-00051167 come into my business OaHsxPwI0XE-00243-00051168-00051423 and this morning we heard general casey OaHsxPwI0XE-00244-00051424-00051711 say you know never waste a crisis OaHsxPwI0XE-00245-00051712-00051887 and one of the things that really OaHsxPwI0XE-00246-00051888-00052038 happened to OaHsxPwI0XE-00247-00052039-00052366 all of us obviously was uh happened for OaHsxPwI0XE-00248-00052367-00052623 me march 13 2020 OaHsxPwI0XE-00249-00052624-00052871 of course was coved and at that point i OaHsxPwI0XE-00250-00052872-00053030 had this business that had a really OaHsxPwI0XE-00251-00053032-00053254 really you know my the access to my OaHsxPwI0XE-00252-00053255-00053463 business was not OaHsxPwI0XE-00253-00053464-00053742 at the ground level was very high so i OaHsxPwI0XE-00254-00053744-00053935 know i wasn't accomplishing fully what i OaHsxPwI0XE-00255-00053936-00054223 could as a learning and education entity OaHsxPwI0XE-00256-00054224-00054407 and that became really really evident OaHsxPwI0XE-00257-00054408-00054575 because on monday morning this is what OaHsxPwI0XE-00258-00054576-00054775 happened to all my clients they OaHsxPwI0XE-00259-00054776-00055007 literally disappeared over the weekend OaHsxPwI0XE-00260-00055008-00055247 so from march 13th until the 16th all of OaHsxPwI0XE-00261-00055248-00055463 my clients went away OaHsxPwI0XE-00262-00055464-00055782 and what i was really wrestling with is OaHsxPwI0XE-00263-00055783-00056007 you know what what was i missing my OaHsxPwI0XE-00264-00056008-00056271 mental model of doing this work for OaHsxPwI0XE-00265-00056272-00056463 great organizations was that this is the OaHsxPwI0XE-00266-00056464-00056615 perfect time they should come to me now OaHsxPwI0XE-00267-00056616-00056759 and spend this time with me because this OaHsxPwI0XE-00268-00056760-00056935 is the struggle time and we should OaHsxPwI0XE-00269-00056936-00057199 really dive deeply but that mental model OaHsxPwI0XE-00270-00057200-00057382 i had that every organization is going OaHsxPwI0XE-00271-00057383-00057535 to stay with me and that every OaHsxPwI0XE-00272-00057536-00057694 organization is going to continue to do OaHsxPwI0XE-00273-00057695-00057838 this work OaHsxPwI0XE-00274-00057839-00057982 you know we learn about mental models OaHsxPwI0XE-00275-00057983-00058182 that they don't really change reality OaHsxPwI0XE-00276-00058183-00058319 right you know we OaHsxPwI0XE-00277-00058320-00058542 we kind of fall into that trap and so i OaHsxPwI0XE-00278-00058544-00058742 went back to the basics of working with OaHsxPwI0XE-00279-00058744-00059023 these kids and you know i i ask them OaHsxPwI0XE-00280-00059024-00059166 what do you need to do and they said OaHsxPwI0XE-00281-00059167-00059407 well we need to do this virtual thing OaHsxPwI0XE-00282-00059408-00059591 right we need to figure out how to be OaHsxPwI0XE-00283-00059591-00059775 virtually connected and virtually OaHsxPwI0XE-00284-00059776-00059887 engaged OaHsxPwI0XE-00285-00059888-00060111 and so what we did then as a company OaHsxPwI0XE-00286-00060112-00060294 started to really dive into the work we OaHsxPwI0XE-00287-00060295-00060591 had done been doing but really at not at OaHsxPwI0XE-00288-00060591-00060750 the ground level was really OaHsxPwI0XE-00289-00060751-00060999 understanding how humans convene right OaHsxPwI0XE-00290-00061000-00061199 and and why we convene OaHsxPwI0XE-00291-00061200-00061447 to create that real front door to our OaHsxPwI0XE-00292-00061448-00061671 business again and so went from an OaHsxPwI0XE-00293-00061672-00061854 organizational development business a OaHsxPwI0XE-00294-00061855-00062087 learning education business to one that OaHsxPwI0XE-00295-00062088-00062359 focused on convening humans in an OaHsxPwI0XE-00296-00062360-00062630 engaging way so that we could get at OaHsxPwI0XE-00297-00062632-00062830 education and learning OaHsxPwI0XE-00298-00062832-00062991 so one of the things i'll leave with OaHsxPwI0XE-00299-00062991-00063238 before we kind of transition out is OaHsxPwI0XE-00300-00063239-00063430 we believe we convene to change OaHsxPwI0XE-00301-00063432-00063663 behaviors we're convening here today to OaHsxPwI0XE-00302-00063664-00063911 change behaviors right and we all OaHsxPwI0XE-00303-00063912-00064126 probably by now through this work around OaHsxPwI0XE-00304-00064127-00064279 systems thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00305-00064279-00064471 know that we change behaviors through OaHsxPwI0XE-00306-00064472-00064782 our thinking thinking is really at the OaHsxPwI0XE-00307-00064783-00065071 heart of being a learning and education OaHsxPwI0XE-00308-00065072-00065223 type of business OaHsxPwI0XE-00309-00065224-00065454 so with that i'll hand off i think tara OaHsxPwI0XE-00310-00065455-00065591 maybe is going next but i'll hand it OaHsxPwI0XE-00311-00065592-00065759 back to laura so we can keep the OaHsxPwI0XE-00312-00065760-00065882 conversation OaHsxPwI0XE-00313-00065883-00066111 going you are correct we're going to OaHsxPwI0XE-00314-00066112-00066463 tara OaHsxPwI0XE-00315-00066464-00066743 okay OaHsxPwI0XE-00316-00066744-00067479 let me get my screen shared OaHsxPwI0XE-00317-00067480-00067799 oops OaHsxPwI0XE-00318-00067800-00068455 all right is everyone able to see this OaHsxPwI0XE-00319-00068456-00068599 okay OaHsxPwI0XE-00320-00068600-00068735 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00321-00068736-00068950 so i want to thank you for allowing me OaHsxPwI0XE-00322-00068951-00069119 to be here um OaHsxPwI0XE-00323-00069120-00069279 i'm excited to share a little bit with OaHsxPwI0XE-00324-00069280-00069479 you about my experience with systems OaHsxPwI0XE-00325-00069480-00069663 thinking and specifically how i'm OaHsxPwI0XE-00326-00069664-00069903 utilizing it in the role of educational OaHsxPwI0XE-00327-00069904-00070143 leadership which is you know something OaHsxPwI0XE-00328-00070144-00070359 that i think is of the utmost importance OaHsxPwI0XE-00329-00070360-00070575 of course i might be slightly biased um OaHsxPwI0XE-00330-00070576-00070767 but in today's world OaHsxPwI0XE-00331-00070768-00070911 we are challenged with a lot of things OaHsxPwI0XE-00332-00070912-00071103 and this is definitely one of the OaHsxPwI0XE-00333-00071104-00071255 most important gifts we can give to our OaHsxPwI0XE-00334-00071256-00071487 students is to ensure that they have the OaHsxPwI0XE-00335-00071488-00071647 equitable and accessible OaHsxPwI0XE-00336-00071648-00071879 education and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00337-00071880-00071975 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00338-00071976-00072159 you know i got into education about 20 OaHsxPwI0XE-00339-00072160-00072335 years ago and OaHsxPwI0XE-00340-00072336-00072519 from the time that i stepped foot in the OaHsxPwI0XE-00341-00072520-00072791 door in my first classroom i recognized OaHsxPwI0XE-00342-00072792-00073031 that i was so fortunate to have found my OaHsxPwI0XE-00343-00073032-00073231 passion tied up in my profession all at OaHsxPwI0XE-00344-00073232-00073575 once and my dedication to students has OaHsxPwI0XE-00345-00073576-00073879 been something that has been fierce and OaHsxPwI0XE-00346-00073880-00074150 strong and and really a part of who i am OaHsxPwI0XE-00347-00074151-00074447 um from from my very first year working OaHsxPwI0XE-00348-00074448-00074638 in this profession what i quickly OaHsxPwI0XE-00349-00074639-00074926 learned though is that um this field OaHsxPwI0XE-00350-00074927-00075111 needs strong leaders and it needs strong OaHsxPwI0XE-00351-00075112-00075294 leaders that have that exact same OaHsxPwI0XE-00352-00075295-00075535 mentality that it that is focused on OaHsxPwI0XE-00353-00075536-00075743 students that is student-centered and OaHsxPwI0XE-00354-00075744-00075855 that OaHsxPwI0XE-00355-00075856-00075975 is spending time thinking about OaHsxPwI0XE-00356-00075976-00076150 decisions from the perspective of our OaHsxPwI0XE-00357-00076151-00076255 learners OaHsxPwI0XE-00358-00076256-00076447 and putting our students first in all of OaHsxPwI0XE-00359-00076448-00076711 those conversations and discussions OaHsxPwI0XE-00360-00076712-00076823 and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00361-00076824-00076999 as i was moving into my journey on OaHsxPwI0XE-00362-00077000-00077119 education OaHsxPwI0XE-00363-00077120-00077350 i was presented with this concept and i OaHsxPwI0XE-00364-00077351-00077487 remember it was somewhere along my OaHsxPwI0XE-00365-00077488-00077679 journey in education that i learned OaHsxPwI0XE-00366-00077680-00077950 about a concept called wicked problems OaHsxPwI0XE-00367-00077951-00078167 and i distinctly remember hearing that OaHsxPwI0XE-00368-00078168-00078431 word because it really struck me OaHsxPwI0XE-00369-00078432-00078703 um you know wicked problem actually OaHsxPwI0XE-00370-00078704-00078815 seemed OaHsxPwI0XE-00371-00078816-00079038 terrifying before i really even learned OaHsxPwI0XE-00372-00079039-00079294 much about it it was almost too complex OaHsxPwI0XE-00373-00079295-00079550 to think about it was intimidating it OaHsxPwI0XE-00374-00079551-00079815 was scary it was almost paralyzing and OaHsxPwI0XE-00375-00079816-00080023 immediately before even learning much OaHsxPwI0XE-00376-00080024-00080238 about it just that OaHsxPwI0XE-00377-00080239-00080535 that topic that concept wicked problems OaHsxPwI0XE-00378-00080536-00080726 almost made me want to look away from it OaHsxPwI0XE-00379-00080727-00080919 like this wasn't something i could do or OaHsxPwI0XE-00380-00080920-00081126 something i needed to do because OaHsxPwI0XE-00381-00081127-00081375 quite frankly wicked problems were OaHsxPwI0XE-00382-00081376-00081647 the climate crisis or our health care OaHsxPwI0XE-00383-00081648-00081887 system or um you know combating OaHsxPwI0XE-00384-00081888-00082135 terrorism and that that wasn't my field OaHsxPwI0XE-00385-00082136-00082447 and so in in part that was very cowardly OaHsxPwI0XE-00386-00082448-00082711 of course to feel as if wicked problems OaHsxPwI0XE-00387-00082712-00082926 weren't my problem OaHsxPwI0XE-00388-00082927-00083175 but it it also was selfish it was you OaHsxPwI0XE-00389-00083176-00083399 know an easy out to assume that someone OaHsxPwI0XE-00390-00083400-00083543 else was working on these wicked OaHsxPwI0XE-00391-00083544-00083823 problems OaHsxPwI0XE-00392-00083824-00084103 enter education 2022 OaHsxPwI0XE-00393-00084104-00084335 where wicked problems are OaHsxPwI0XE-00394-00084336-00084511 what our world looks like right now OaHsxPwI0XE-00395-00084512-00084726 especially in the world of education OaHsxPwI0XE-00396-00084727-00084879 where we are faced with a global OaHsxPwI0XE-00397-00084880-00085015 pandemic OaHsxPwI0XE-00398-00085016-00085343 which is for all intents and purposes um OaHsxPwI0XE-00399-00085344-00085559 the world as we knew it and our students OaHsxPwI0XE-00400-00085560-00085647 knew it OaHsxPwI0XE-00401-00085648-00085918 stopped and no one ever expected that or OaHsxPwI0XE-00402-00085919-00086071 predicted that or could have assumed OaHsxPwI0XE-00403-00086072-00086359 that we knew what that would entail OaHsxPwI0XE-00404-00086360-00086567 returning back from that OaHsxPwI0XE-00405-00086568-00086775 and working through that we OaHsxPwI0XE-00406-00086776-00086999 we have a student population where our OaHsxPwI0XE-00407-00087000-00087191 our youths are experiencing a mental OaHsxPwI0XE-00408-00087192-00087343 health crisis OaHsxPwI0XE-00409-00087344-00087543 we are dealing with learning loss which OaHsxPwI0XE-00410-00087544-00087743 we can we can call many different things OaHsxPwI0XE-00411-00087744-00087935 we can call it unfinished learning we OaHsxPwI0XE-00412-00087936-00088215 can call it accelerated learning OaHsxPwI0XE-00413-00088216-00088375 but the truth is our kids aren't where OaHsxPwI0XE-00414-00088376-00088631 we're used to meeting them OaHsxPwI0XE-00415-00088632-00088879 so as educators that concept of meeting OaHsxPwI0XE-00416-00088880-00089015 our kids where they are and moving them OaHsxPwI0XE-00417-00089016-00089294 forward they're in a place both socially OaHsxPwI0XE-00418-00089295-00089431 emotionally academically and OaHsxPwI0XE-00419-00089432-00089575 behaviorally that we've never OaHsxPwI0XE-00420-00089576-00089694 experienced OaHsxPwI0XE-00421-00089695-00089847 so there's no OaHsxPwI0XE-00422-00089848-00090150 foundation there's no balance or sort of OaHsxPwI0XE-00423-00090151-00090391 like a common um OaHsxPwI0XE-00424-00090392-00090638 benchmark that that is predictable we OaHsxPwI0XE-00425-00090639-00090806 are learning where they are and what OaHsxPwI0XE-00426-00090807-00091126 they need every single day OaHsxPwI0XE-00427-00091127-00091479 our politics have been polarizing and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00428-00091480-00091831 everything we teach has some sort of um OaHsxPwI0XE-00429-00091832-00092111 slant attached to it whether OaHsxPwI0XE-00430-00092112-00092350 it's a claim that you know schools are OaHsxPwI0XE-00431-00092351-00092575 teaching crt whether they are whether OaHsxPwI0XE-00432-00092576-00092703 they aren't whether there are parts of OaHsxPwI0XE-00433-00092704-00092879 it whatever that means our new health OaHsxPwI0XE-00434-00092880-00093135 standards in new jersey OaHsxPwI0XE-00435-00093136-00093391 the concept of sel what does that mean OaHsxPwI0XE-00436-00093392-00093582 who's responsible for that what their OaHsxPwI0XE-00437-00093583-00093847 certifications are OaHsxPwI0XE-00438-00093848-00094031 if you look at a saturday night live OaHsxPwI0XE-00439-00094032-00094335 there is a clip of a board meeting and OaHsxPwI0XE-00440-00094336-00094647 it's comical because it's so accurate OaHsxPwI0XE-00441-00094648-00094926 and so the negotiating um what we're OaHsxPwI0XE-00442-00094927-00095094 teaching students why we're teaching OaHsxPwI0XE-00443-00095095-00095311 students and getting support to just OaHsxPwI0XE-00444-00095312-00095606 continue doing our work has become a OaHsxPwI0XE-00445-00095607-00095774 hurdle in and of itself OaHsxPwI0XE-00446-00095775-00095926 because of all these things our teachers OaHsxPwI0XE-00447-00095927-00096174 are burnt out so our kids need more and OaHsxPwI0XE-00448-00096175-00096382 our teachers have less to give OaHsxPwI0XE-00449-00096383-00096582 which is ultimately causing a teacher OaHsxPwI0XE-00450-00096583-00096767 shortage there's something that i've OaHsxPwI0XE-00451-00096768-00096911 been reading about called the great OaHsxPwI0XE-00452-00096912-00097206 resignation and so when you reflect on OaHsxPwI0XE-00453-00097207-00097399 is this really where you want to be at OaHsxPwI0XE-00454-00097400-00097543 this point in your life OaHsxPwI0XE-00455-00097544-00097703 there are a lot of people who are OaHsxPwI0XE-00456-00097704-00097935 deciding that it's not and i think over OaHsxPwI0XE-00457-00097936-00098111 the last three years we've lost OaHsxPwI0XE-00458-00098112-00098303 something like almost half a million OaHsxPwI0XE-00459-00098304-00098503 teachers in the field OaHsxPwI0XE-00460-00098504-00098638 and that's just counting teachers that's OaHsxPwI0XE-00461-00098639-00098774 not counting bus drivers or OaHsxPwI0XE-00462-00098775-00099023 paraprofessionals nurses OaHsxPwI0XE-00463-00099024-00099287 people who we need to run this system OaHsxPwI0XE-00464-00099288-00099455 and then of course in the face of all of OaHsxPwI0XE-00465-00099456-00099647 this there are several districts OaHsxPwI0XE-00466-00099648-00099871 depending on your funding formula for OaHsxPwI0XE-00467-00099872-00100118 dealing with budget cuts so while you're OaHsxPwI0XE-00468-00100119-00100359 working on climbing out of this OaHsxPwI0XE-00469-00100360-00100559 we have less to do that with OaHsxPwI0XE-00470-00100560-00100791 and so with all of that said i would OaHsxPwI0XE-00471-00100792-00100926 agree that that's a pretty wicked OaHsxPwI0XE-00472-00100927-00101182 problem that now is directly in my lap OaHsxPwI0XE-00473-00101183-00101359 and is something that i have to work on OaHsxPwI0XE-00474-00101360-00101526 daily OaHsxPwI0XE-00475-00101527-00101831 and inside of that daily problem solving OaHsxPwI0XE-00476-00101832-00101938 there are OaHsxPwI0XE-00477-00101939-00102350 525 600 problems decisions solutions OaHsxPwI0XE-00478-00102351-00102558 needs questions OaHsxPwI0XE-00479-00102559-00102775 it's utter chaos OaHsxPwI0XE-00480-00102776-00102999 and people are looking to you to help OaHsxPwI0XE-00481-00103000-00103263 solve these problems or give direction OaHsxPwI0XE-00482-00103264-00103454 and use i signed up for this and this is OaHsxPwI0XE-00483-00103455-00103647 what i want to be doing OaHsxPwI0XE-00484-00103648-00103871 but it can be completely overwhelming to OaHsxPwI0XE-00485-00103872-00103990 try to OaHsxPwI0XE-00486-00103991-00104127 navigate OaHsxPwI0XE-00487-00104128-00104351 the details of each single circumstance OaHsxPwI0XE-00488-00104352-00104575 that arises related OaHsxPwI0XE-00489-00104576-00104751 to the complexity of the problem that OaHsxPwI0XE-00490-00104752-00104902 we're facing OaHsxPwI0XE-00491-00104903-00105231 and so that's where dsrp came back to me OaHsxPwI0XE-00492-00105232-00105478 in a way that i hadn't used it before so OaHsxPwI0XE-00493-00105479-00105663 much like mark spoke i was very OaHsxPwI0XE-00494-00105664-00105823 fortunate to OaHsxPwI0XE-00495-00105824-00106023 work with derek and laura OaHsxPwI0XE-00496-00106024-00106247 in a school system where our students OaHsxPwI0XE-00497-00106248-00106558 were trained to be system thinkers and OaHsxPwI0XE-00498-00106559-00106758 it was my job to support that work in OaHsxPwI0XE-00499-00106759-00107015 that school system and it was amazing to OaHsxPwI0XE-00500-00107016-00107239 see what the students could do and it OaHsxPwI0XE-00501-00107240-00107495 was also amazing to understand that this OaHsxPwI0XE-00502-00107496-00107743 is really how our brain works very OaHsxPwI0XE-00503-00107744-00108047 naturally so what i was finding myself OaHsxPwI0XE-00504-00108048-00108302 doing fast forward all of these years OaHsxPwI0XE-00505-00108303-00108534 later is that i was finding myself in my OaHsxPwI0XE-00506-00108535-00108734 brain i was putting these problems these OaHsxPwI0XE-00507-00108735-00108975 challenges into buckets and it reminded OaHsxPwI0XE-00508-00108976-00109119 me actually when i was thinking about OaHsxPwI0XE-00509-00109120-00109319 this presentation of almost like the OaHsxPwI0XE-00510-00109320-00109590 think blocks that we used as tangible OaHsxPwI0XE-00511-00109591-00109702 concrete OaHsxPwI0XE-00512-00109703-00110007 um you know objects to manipulate sort OaHsxPwI0XE-00513-00110008-00110239 of to to work with these systems of OaHsxPwI0XE-00514-00110240-00110502 thinking and so what i realized was all OaHsxPwI0XE-00515-00110503-00110702 of these massive problems there was no OaHsxPwI0XE-00516-00110703-00110854 way you could spend your OaHsxPwI0XE-00517-00110855-00111175 time uh diving into the detail of each OaHsxPwI0XE-00518-00111176-00111302 single one OaHsxPwI0XE-00519-00111303-00111471 but really what i could do and what i OaHsxPwI0XE-00520-00111472-00111631 was finding that i was doing is i was OaHsxPwI0XE-00521-00111632-00111871 breaking them into systems and i was OaHsxPwI0XE-00522-00111872-00112047 dropping them in different buckets that OaHsxPwI0XE-00523-00112048-00112278 had similar parts so that i could solve OaHsxPwI0XE-00524-00112279-00112551 groups of problems together OaHsxPwI0XE-00525-00112552-00112895 and that approach has really helped me OaHsxPwI0XE-00526-00112896-00113063 to intentionally OaHsxPwI0XE-00527-00113064-00113231 draw on OaHsxPwI0XE-00528-00113232-00113534 dsrp and the systems of thinking the OaHsxPwI0XE-00529-00113535-00113799 patterns of thinking that our brain you OaHsxPwI0XE-00530-00113800-00114158 know engages in to deconstruct issues OaHsxPwI0XE-00531-00114159-00114423 and then of course to rebuild them you OaHsxPwI0XE-00532-00114424-00114727 know in a different way um OaHsxPwI0XE-00533-00114728-00114983 and so in doing that you know it's OaHsxPwI0XE-00534-00114983-00115231 allowed us to find solutions and OaHsxPwI0XE-00535-00115232-00115510 um you know responses to challenges that OaHsxPwI0XE-00536-00115511-00115727 we've never thought of before because OaHsxPwI0XE-00537-00115728-00115966 the same old thing um you know it hasn't OaHsxPwI0XE-00538-00115967-00116158 been something that we could rely on OaHsxPwI0XE-00539-00116159-00116319 there is no same old thing you know we OaHsxPwI0XE-00540-00116320-00116502 talk about the new normal OaHsxPwI0XE-00541-00116503-00116686 there is no baseline there is no normal OaHsxPwI0XE-00542-00116688-00116895 anymore so you're kind of rediscovering OaHsxPwI0XE-00543-00116896-00117151 something from a place of you know it's OaHsxPwI0XE-00544-00117152-00117415 really a foreign entity right now so OaHsxPwI0XE-00545-00117416-00117639 this rediscovery and the use of systems OaHsxPwI0XE-00546-00117640-00117854 thinking is really helping us to get a OaHsxPwI0XE-00547-00117855-00118023 better sense of all of the parts that OaHsxPwI0XE-00548-00118024-00118271 are in each system and to really see OaHsxPwI0XE-00549-00118272-00118631 things more clearly OaHsxPwI0XE-00550-00118632-00118751 and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00551-00118752-00118975 the silver lining really is that you OaHsxPwI0XE-00552-00118976-00119095 know while OaHsxPwI0XE-00553-00119096-00119423 education may be cracked in some way OaHsxPwI0XE-00554-00119424-00119623 it's okay because it's really our OaHsxPwI0XE-00555-00119624-00119854 opportunity to get it right i think OaHsxPwI0XE-00556-00119855-00120078 actually and so it's going to take OaHsxPwI0XE-00557-00120079-00120414 leaders of all kind who lead with the OaHsxPwI0XE-00558-00120415-00120614 responsibility and the ownership of OaHsxPwI0XE-00559-00120615-00120831 their thinking the intentionality of OaHsxPwI0XE-00560-00120832-00121014 their thinking to build a better OaHsxPwI0XE-00561-00121015-00121278 organization and that is not just OaHsxPwI0XE-00562-00121279-00121407 someone sitting in an assistant OaHsxPwI0XE-00563-00121408-00121590 superintendent position OaHsxPwI0XE-00564-00121591-00121775 that has to be empowered you know and OaHsxPwI0XE-00565-00121776-00121966 shared with our teachers our parents our OaHsxPwI0XE-00566-00121967-00122310 community members our students OaHsxPwI0XE-00567-00122311-00122527 and our leadership alike OaHsxPwI0XE-00568-00122528-00122790 our ability to understand each other and OaHsxPwI0XE-00569-00122791-00122927 connect OaHsxPwI0XE-00570-00122928-00123223 and collaborate is is essential and OaHsxPwI0XE-00571-00123224-00123407 systems thinking helps us to be better OaHsxPwI0XE-00572-00123408-00123566 at all of those things it helps us to OaHsxPwI0XE-00573-00123567-00123710 develop a different level of OaHsxPwI0XE-00574-00123711-00123943 open-mindedness and a different level of OaHsxPwI0XE-00575-00123944-00124110 empathy when we're sharing the OaHsxPwI0XE-00576-00124111-00124239 responsibility of looking at OaHsxPwI0XE-00577-00124240-00124463 relationships and perspectives and OaHsxPwI0XE-00578-00124464-00124702 really breaking down things down in a OaHsxPwI0XE-00579-00124703-00124975 way that maybe haven't been done before OaHsxPwI0XE-00580-00124976-00125254 and so i think at this point in time as OaHsxPwI0XE-00581-00125255-00125478 we continue to to OaHsxPwI0XE-00582-00125479-00125654 move into the future of education and OaHsxPwI0XE-00583-00125655-00125902 share these responsibilities together um OaHsxPwI0XE-00584-00125903-00126095 you know we have to utilize methods like OaHsxPwI0XE-00585-00126096-00126383 this and or approaches like this OaHsxPwI0XE-00586-00126383-00126527 so that our students can have their OaHsxPwI0XE-00587-00126528-00126727 needs met but i think the most exciting OaHsxPwI0XE-00588-00126728-00126999 part of this work is that um OaHsxPwI0XE-00589-00127000-00127183 really anyone can take this work into OaHsxPwI0XE-00590-00127183-00127343 any arena whether it's their own OaHsxPwI0XE-00591-00127344-00127599 personal life or or the you know OaHsxPwI0XE-00592-00127600-00127758 industry that they've chosen that OaHsxPwI0XE-00593-00127759-00127934 they're so passionate about OaHsxPwI0XE-00594-00127935-00128158 and utilize this as a tool for great OaHsxPwI0XE-00595-00128159-00128863 success OaHsxPwI0XE-00596-00128864-00129134 thank you so much tara that was great so OaHsxPwI0XE-00597-00129135-00129310 let's move to OaHsxPwI0XE-00598-00129311-00129502 the one and only sam rotella and then OaHsxPwI0XE-00599-00129503-00129671 we'll open it up for questions after OaHsxPwI0XE-00600-00129672-00129886 that OaHsxPwI0XE-00601-00129888-00130134 so i'll start off by uh OaHsxPwI0XE-00602-00130135-00130327 thanking everyone the cabrera team and OaHsxPwI0XE-00603-00130328-00130447 the graduate students in the OaHsxPwI0XE-00604-00130448-00130783 certification program cornell university OaHsxPwI0XE-00605-00130783-00130958 for giving me this opportunity to talk OaHsxPwI0XE-00606-00130959-00131095 about our OaHsxPwI0XE-00607-00131096-00131359 our story and uh it's an honor and it's OaHsxPwI0XE-00608-00131360-00131454 humbling OaHsxPwI0XE-00609-00131455-00131663 uh i'll also add that OaHsxPwI0XE-00610-00131664-00131959 i really appreciate uh laura OaHsxPwI0XE-00611-00131960-00132239 uh being able to compliment tara on how OaHsxPwI0XE-00612-00132240-00132487 young she looks you would never guess OaHsxPwI0XE-00613-00132488-00132647 and that she will not talk about the OaHsxPwI0XE-00614-00132648-00132814 many years that i've been so i guess OaHsxPwI0XE-00615-00132815-00133047 that she was pointing out how old i am OaHsxPwI0XE-00616-00133048-00133254 so for that thank you so much much OaHsxPwI0XE-00617-00133255-00133663 appreciated it's my pleasure anytime OaHsxPwI0XE-00618-00133664-00133759 so OaHsxPwI0XE-00619-00133760-00133999 uh from my perspective just a little bit OaHsxPwI0XE-00620-00134000-00134311 uh about our district um OaHsxPwI0XE-00621-00134312-00134647 we're about 1800 students 485 square OaHsxPwI0XE-00622-00134648-00134751 miles OaHsxPwI0XE-00623-00134752-00134927 two high schools three elementary OaHsxPwI0XE-00624-00134928-00135175 schools and we serve a capacity about 55 OaHsxPwI0XE-00625-00135176-00135535 percent free and reduced um lunch in our OaHsxPwI0XE-00626-00135536-00135702 in our district OaHsxPwI0XE-00627-00135703-00135790 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00628-00135791-00135895 and OaHsxPwI0XE-00629-00135896-00136063 you know the cabreras have often talked OaHsxPwI0XE-00630-00136064-00136263 about you know creating seven billion OaHsxPwI0XE-00631-00136264-00136478 system thinkers uh OaHsxPwI0XE-00632-00136479-00136790 in this global world and hopefully we're OaHsxPwI0XE-00633-00136791-00137063 creating a few in our little corner OaHsxPwI0XE-00634-00137064-00137343 and i'm just going to kind of share OaHsxPwI0XE-00635-00137344-00137551 our story probably a little bit more in OaHsxPwI0XE-00636-00137552-00137663 the weeds OaHsxPwI0XE-00637-00137664-00137783 but how OaHsxPwI0XE-00638-00137784-00138031 um system thinking and OaHsxPwI0XE-00639-00138032-00138175 everything everything around that in OaHsxPwI0XE-00640-00138176-00138423 dspr the srp became OaHsxPwI0XE-00641-00138424-00138735 actionable in our district um so i'm OaHsxPwI0XE-00642-00138736-00138847 going to just tell a little story OaHsxPwI0XE-00643-00138848-00139014 because it's a little bit of contextual OaHsxPwI0XE-00644-00139015-00139199 but i think every journey starts with a OaHsxPwI0XE-00645-00139200-00139463 story and and this is this was this is OaHsxPwI0XE-00646-00139464-00139559 ours OaHsxPwI0XE-00647-00139560-00139839 so our district actually started doing OaHsxPwI0XE-00648-00139840-00140102 instructional rounds um OaHsxPwI0XE-00649-00140103-00140319 and instructional rounds if you're not OaHsxPwI0XE-00650-00140320-00140519 familiar are kind of based on the OaHsxPwI0XE-00651-00140520-00140783 hospital rounds that are done um and OaHsxPwI0XE-00652-00140784-00140975 that they were adapted to use in OaHsxPwI0XE-00653-00140976-00141159 education uh they're to be OaHsxPwI0XE-00654-00141160-00141447 non-evaluative and observers go in and OaHsxPwI0XE-00655-00141448-00141639 look at a problem of practice OaHsxPwI0XE-00656-00141640-00141863 so you define it and quantify it and OaHsxPwI0XE-00657-00141864-00142095 then there's a team that goes around and OaHsxPwI0XE-00658-00142096-00142335 observes your system so in our case all OaHsxPwI0XE-00659-00142336-00142654 five of our schools and uh get in five OaHsxPwI0XE-00660-00142655-00142895 times over ten months to take a look at OaHsxPwI0XE-00661-00142896-00143095 our problem of practice OaHsxPwI0XE-00662-00143096-00143559 and for us we had identified um OaHsxPwI0XE-00663-00143560-00143743 learner driven and i won't really call OaHsxPwI0XE-00664-00143744-00143966 it a vision because i think derrick OaHsxPwI0XE-00665-00143967-00144159 would say it's not a vision um so i'm OaHsxPwI0XE-00666-00144160-00144414 going to call it a tagline OaHsxPwI0XE-00667-00144415-00144631 but but we had recognized that as OaHsxPwI0XE-00668-00144632-00144814 something that we wanted to do but we OaHsxPwI0XE-00669-00144815-00145063 really need to spend time to consciously OaHsxPwI0XE-00670-00145064-00145239 and intentionally shift OaHsxPwI0XE-00671-00145240-00145463 our district from the teaching mode to OaHsxPwI0XE-00672-00145464-00145631 the learning mode OaHsxPwI0XE-00673-00145632-00145711 and OaHsxPwI0XE-00674-00145712-00146054 how we engaged our students right was a OaHsxPwI0XE-00675-00146055-00146254 common piece of that OaHsxPwI0XE-00676-00146255-00146502 and when we started instructional rounds OaHsxPwI0XE-00677-00146503-00146814 we rapidly understood one thing is that OaHsxPwI0XE-00678-00146815-00147047 we had no common understanding of what OaHsxPwI0XE-00679-00147048-00147247 engagement was OaHsxPwI0XE-00680-00147248-00147599 and so you know we we met as as groups OaHsxPwI0XE-00681-00147600-00147959 and collected all of our observations OaHsxPwI0XE-00682-00147960-00148175 and what we what we realized is that OaHsxPwI0XE-00683-00148176-00148407 engagement was really multi-dimensional OaHsxPwI0XE-00684-00148408-00148551 and interwoven OaHsxPwI0XE-00685-00148552-00148751 and kind of in these spaces of cognitive OaHsxPwI0XE-00686-00148752-00149023 relational behavioral because OaHsxPwI0XE-00687-00149024-00149231 you know i can remember so many times OaHsxPwI0XE-00688-00149232-00149454 when we walked into rooms we were asking OaHsxPwI0XE-00689-00149455-00149639 ourselves are students engaged and the OaHsxPwI0XE-00690-00149640-00149831 answers were well they're paying OaHsxPwI0XE-00691-00149832-00150071 attention to me they're looking at the OaHsxPwI0XE-00692-00150072-00150175 teacher OaHsxPwI0XE-00693-00150176-00150263 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00694-00150264-00150519 they are sitting up in their chair OaHsxPwI0XE-00695-00150520-00150831 they're not doodling right and for so OaHsxPwI0XE-00696-00150832-00151126 many of us that was engagement OaHsxPwI0XE-00697-00151127-00151214 and OaHsxPwI0XE-00698-00151215-00151478 we knew right then that we did not have OaHsxPwI0XE-00699-00151479-00151631 a common understanding of what OaHsxPwI0XE-00700-00151632-00151951 engagement was or even what it meant OaHsxPwI0XE-00701-00151952-00152031 so OaHsxPwI0XE-00702-00152032-00152302 we we work to establish kind of this OaHsxPwI0XE-00703-00152303-00152559 definition if you would say that really OaHsxPwI0XE-00704-00152560-00152719 for cognitive is what we started OaHsxPwI0XE-00705-00152720-00152847 focusing on OaHsxPwI0XE-00706-00152848-00153039 was student engagement and academic OaHsxPwI0XE-00707-00153040-00153302 tasks and their ownership and strategies OaHsxPwI0XE-00708-00153303-00153447 for learning OaHsxPwI0XE-00709-00153448-00153678 and i had been exposed to some of the to OaHsxPwI0XE-00710-00153679-00153943 the work for the cabreras and what OaHsxPwI0XE-00711-00153944-00154159 teachers started asking me was this OaHsxPwI0XE-00712-00154160-00154295 question OaHsxPwI0XE-00713-00154296-00154551 what does learning what does thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00714-00154552-00154719 even look like OaHsxPwI0XE-00715-00154720-00154966 they couldn't answer that question OaHsxPwI0XE-00716-00154967-00155271 they couldn't give any concrete OaHsxPwI0XE-00717-00155272-00155566 ideas or thoughts about what it was so OaHsxPwI0XE-00718-00155567-00155823 if i go into the room and i'm observing OaHsxPwI0XE-00719-00155824-00156278 cognitive engagement how can i say oh OaHsxPwI0XE-00720-00156279-00156463 here's a question that i can ask a OaHsxPwI0XE-00721-00156464-00156654 student or here's something that i can OaHsxPwI0XE-00722-00156655-00156847 observe a student that i know that OaHsxPwI0XE-00723-00156848-00156975 they're thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00724-00156976-00157111 and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00725-00157112-00157366 right away it led me into this and for OaHsxPwI0XE-00726-00157367-00157614 me and my work and i've i've stolen all OaHsxPwI0XE-00727-00157615-00157839 of these slides so i hope i've credited OaHsxPwI0XE-00728-00157840-00158102 them correctly um i don't want to get OaHsxPwI0XE-00729-00158103-00158463 in trouble in my academic world here um OaHsxPwI0XE-00730-00158464-00158735 it it told me right away like mental OaHsxPwI0XE-00731-00158736-00158935 model has probably been one of the one OaHsxPwI0XE-00732-00158936-00159102 of the strongest things that i've pulled OaHsxPwI0XE-00733-00159103-00159254 out of my work OaHsxPwI0XE-00734-00159255-00159559 and in this case this was a hands-on OaHsxPwI0XE-00735-00159560-00159711 applicable OaHsxPwI0XE-00736-00159712-00159902 life example of OaHsxPwI0XE-00737-00159903-00160031 we had OaHsxPwI0XE-00738-00160032-00160326 a mental model of what engagement was OaHsxPwI0XE-00739-00160327-00160519 and cognitive engagement which really OaHsxPwI0XE-00740-00160520-00160790 was just are they well behaved right and OaHsxPwI0XE-00741-00160791-00161007 we went into the field and we tested OaHsxPwI0XE-00742-00161008-00161247 that and what we found is our system OaHsxPwI0XE-00743-00161248-00161431 gave us feedback that says you have no OaHsxPwI0XE-00744-00161432-00161639 idea what you're talking about so here OaHsxPwI0XE-00745-00161640-00161799 are all these educators with all this OaHsxPwI0XE-00746-00161800-00161983 experience and we knew OaHsxPwI0XE-00747-00161984-00162231 nothing is the reality OaHsxPwI0XE-00748-00162232-00162423 and so it brought me to this right we OaHsxPwI0XE-00749-00162424-00162663 have a mental model and we have this OaHsxPwI0XE-00750-00162664-00162999 data we have this information but even OaHsxPwI0XE-00751-00163000-00163271 us right we couldn't think OaHsxPwI0XE-00752-00163272-00163526 about what we were looking for which was OaHsxPwI0XE-00753-00163527-00163751 thinking and learning in the classroom OaHsxPwI0XE-00754-00163752-00163951 and and what became OaHsxPwI0XE-00755-00163952-00164238 at least obvious to me right and in our OaHsxPwI0XE-00756-00164239-00164390 group is that OaHsxPwI0XE-00757-00164391-00164559 what we didn't have is we didn't have OaHsxPwI0XE-00758-00164560-00164775 any structures in place or processes or OaHsxPwI0XE-00759-00164776-00165071 rules to kind of guide that thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00760-00165072-00165183 and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00761-00165184-00165383 what is a thinker right and so then we OaHsxPwI0XE-00762-00165384-00165590 started this dive into OaHsxPwI0XE-00763-00165591-00165735 dsrp OaHsxPwI0XE-00764-00165736-00166071 um and and to give it tangible this is OaHsxPwI0XE-00765-00166072-00166295 what thinking could look like OaHsxPwI0XE-00766-00166296-00166375 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00767-00166376-00166647 and here are questions so when i walk OaHsxPwI0XE-00768-00166648-00167007 into a classroom i can ask a student you OaHsxPwI0XE-00769-00167008-00167238 know how are you seeing these things how OaHsxPwI0XE-00770-00167239-00167471 are you not how are they organized how OaHsxPwI0XE-00771-00167472-00167711 are they related right and and what OaHsxPwI0XE-00772-00167712-00167943 seemed like very simple questions could OaHsxPwI0XE-00773-00167944-00168223 give me as an observer to go in and ask OaHsxPwI0XE-00774-00168224-00168438 questions to students and see what that OaHsxPwI0XE-00775-00168439-00168695 meta cognition was in the classroom was OaHsxPwI0XE-00776-00168696-00168951 that happening or was it not and then i OaHsxPwI0XE-00777-00168952-00169278 could take non-evaluate observations OaHsxPwI0XE-00778-00169279-00169447 and find out whether they were going OaHsxPwI0XE-00779-00169448-00169711 through these these uh items or these OaHsxPwI0XE-00780-00169712-00169831 questions OaHsxPwI0XE-00781-00169832-00169966 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00782-00169967-00170295 so for us right i start all the way down OaHsxPwI0XE-00783-00170296-00170463 here at the bottom OaHsxPwI0XE-00784-00170464-00170623 because OaHsxPwI0XE-00785-00170624-00170863 while i know that vision and mission is OaHsxPwI0XE-00786-00170864-00171166 so critical right we were we were in OaHsxPwI0XE-00787-00171167-00171383 systems thinking we didn't share a OaHsxPwI0XE-00788-00171384-00171663 mental model we need a lot of individual OaHsxPwI0XE-00789-00171664-00171863 learning which then would turn to OaHsxPwI0XE-00790-00171864-00172047 organizational learning and give us the OaHsxPwI0XE-00791-00172048-00172311 capacity to actually create a system OaHsxPwI0XE-00792-00172312-00172583 that could move together right but we OaHsxPwI0XE-00793-00172584-00172783 didn't have the baseline and so we OaHsxPwI0XE-00794-00172784-00172983 really needed to start at the bottom of OaHsxPwI0XE-00795-00172984-00173166 adjusting our mental model OaHsxPwI0XE-00796-00173167-00173399 and so we engaged in derrick and laura OaHsxPwI0XE-00797-00173400-00173647 coming in and they did a leadership um OaHsxPwI0XE-00798-00173648-00174023 retreat for us and some systems in 2019 OaHsxPwI0XE-00799-00174024-00174238 um and then we moved in with some of our OaHsxPwI0XE-00800-00174239-00174447 faculty members of diving into system OaHsxPwI0XE-00801-00174448-00174790 thinking and mapping um to really as OaHsxPwI0XE-00802-00174791-00175047 some of you said give you some really OaHsxPwI0XE-00803-00175048-00175287 visuals to help make those connections OaHsxPwI0XE-00804-00175288-00175471 uh for a lot of people OaHsxPwI0XE-00805-00175472-00175614 and OaHsxPwI0XE-00806-00175615-00175775 then we started thinking about how is it OaHsxPwI0XE-00807-00175776-00175966 that we can support some of our faculty OaHsxPwI0XE-00808-00175967-00176159 then right so it's to start seeing these OaHsxPwI0XE-00809-00176160-00176407 changes and like one of them is you know OaHsxPwI0XE-00810-00176408-00176654 the classroom as the third teacher right OaHsxPwI0XE-00811-00176655-00176814 how could we create learning OaHsxPwI0XE-00812-00176815-00177054 environments that would support what we OaHsxPwI0XE-00813-00177055-00177247 were asking people to do OaHsxPwI0XE-00814-00177248-00177478 and and this one on the right i still i OaHsxPwI0XE-00815-00177479-00177623 still use OaHsxPwI0XE-00816-00177624-00177719 weekly OaHsxPwI0XE-00817-00177720-00177951 is when people come to me and ask how do OaHsxPwI0XE-00818-00177952-00178199 we get those shifted like we defend OaHsxPwI0XE-00819-00178200-00178359 centers what do we do OaHsxPwI0XE-00820-00178360-00178575 party favors acknowledgement find out OaHsxPwI0XE-00821-00178576-00178823 what people want to move them that OaHsxPwI0XE-00822-00178824-00178999 bottom 20 OaHsxPwI0XE-00823-00179000-00179151 don't worry about them right it's that OaHsxPwI0XE-00824-00179152-00179319 that middle group that we have to to OaHsxPwI0XE-00825-00179320-00179583 move them over to move with us OaHsxPwI0XE-00826-00179584-00179854 and so i really kind of hang on to this OaHsxPwI0XE-00827-00179855-00180054 one too and especially the bottom part OaHsxPwI0XE-00828-00180055-00180335 right like if you want to change culture OaHsxPwI0XE-00829-00180336-00180487 then you really have to have a shared OaHsxPwI0XE-00830-00180488-00180678 mental model of where you're going and OaHsxPwI0XE-00831-00180679-00180911 what you want to do and if we couldn't OaHsxPwI0XE-00832-00180912-00181095 share what thinking looked like or how OaHsxPwI0XE-00833-00181096-00181390 to make it tangible then for us we were OaHsxPwI0XE-00834-00181391-00181583 never going to become learner driven OaHsxPwI0XE-00835-00181584-00181838 because we didn't know what thinking was OaHsxPwI0XE-00836-00181839-00182078 and we certainly couldn't um OaHsxPwI0XE-00837-00182079-00182366 change our change our culture right OaHsxPwI0XE-00838-00182367-00182551 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00839-00182552-00182759 lastly and and i like this one here OaHsxPwI0XE-00840-00182760-00182983 right because it talks about OaHsxPwI0XE-00841-00182984-00183199 and i think so many people still fall in OaHsxPwI0XE-00842-00183200-00183487 this space it's something that you do OaHsxPwI0XE-00843-00183488-00183695 right and i can still remember after OaHsxPwI0XE-00844-00183696-00183847 gary gave a OaHsxPwI0XE-00845-00183848-00184111 three-day presentation we're driving OaHsxPwI0XE-00846-00184112-00184319 back in the car one of my administrators OaHsxPwI0XE-00847-00184320-00184590 said man i can't start OaHsxPwI0XE-00848-00184591-00184783 i can't wait to start thinking like that OaHsxPwI0XE-00849-00184784-00184959 like i'm just gonna start thinking like OaHsxPwI0XE-00850-00184960-00185287 that someday and for for him it was just OaHsxPwI0XE-00851-00185288-00185471 something he was going to do at two OaHsxPwI0XE-00852-00185472-00185663 o'clock today i'm gonna think like that OaHsxPwI0XE-00853-00185664-00185847 not the rest of the day but at two OaHsxPwI0XE-00854-00185848-00186031 o'clock this is what i'm going to do OaHsxPwI0XE-00855-00186032-00186319 right and so it really for us needed to OaHsxPwI0XE-00856-00186320-00186438 be something that OaHsxPwI0XE-00857-00186439-00186695 we get we know that we're complex we OaHsxPwI0XE-00858-00186696-00186871 know that we're adaptive OaHsxPwI0XE-00859-00186872-00187038 i don't know whether education really is OaHsxPwI0XE-00860-00187039-00187423 adaptive i think it protects itself um OaHsxPwI0XE-00861-00187424-00187502 but OaHsxPwI0XE-00862-00187503-00187695 that's what we have to do especially if OaHsxPwI0XE-00863-00187696-00187959 you think about what tara said is OaHsxPwI0XE-00864-00187960-00188159 sometimes you really have to crack the OaHsxPwI0XE-00865-00188160-00188390 whole system wide open to make a change OaHsxPwI0XE-00866-00188391-00188526 and i think that that's kind of where OaHsxPwI0XE-00867-00188527-00188775 we're at is we've got to break all the OaHsxPwI0XE-00868-00188776-00188943 rules of our system to really make OaHsxPwI0XE-00869-00188944-00189038 change OaHsxPwI0XE-00870-00189039-00189135 so OaHsxPwI0XE-00871-00189136-00189383 um miss laura said that i had 10 minutes OaHsxPwI0XE-00872-00189384-00189590 i have 23 seconds left OaHsxPwI0XE-00873-00189591-00189878 um i did set my timer so i did fall OaHsxPwI0XE-00874-00189879-00190038 right in with your guidelines so OaHsxPwI0XE-00875-00190039-00190287 therefore i won't be admonished by you OaHsxPwI0XE-00876-00190288-00190671 and co called old anymore with that i OaHsxPwI0XE-00877-00190672-00191126 will stop sharing OaHsxPwI0XE-00878-00191127-00191399 well that was quite an ending thank you OaHsxPwI0XE-00879-00191400-00191543 uh OaHsxPwI0XE-00880-00191544-00191878 well those three fabulous presentations OaHsxPwI0XE-00881-00191879-00192054 from three fabulous OaHsxPwI0XE-00882-00192055-00192383 people none of which are old of course OaHsxPwI0XE-00883-00192384-00192623 all youthful and lovely OaHsxPwI0XE-00884-00192624-00192735 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00885-00192736-00193047 so thank you for that and i guess what i OaHsxPwI0XE-00886-00193048-00193366 want to do is i want to kick off the um OaHsxPwI0XE-00887-00193367-00193654 q a portion as they come in from OaHsxPwI0XE-00888-00193655-00193887 the uh from the audience i'm going to OaHsxPwI0XE-00889-00193888-00194190 pose a couple of things to you but OaHsxPwI0XE-00890-00194191-00194343 the first thing i was thinking about as OaHsxPwI0XE-00891-00194344-00194502 i actually was listening to all three of OaHsxPwI0XE-00892-00194503-00194743 you there's there's a cool OaHsxPwI0XE-00893-00194744-00194935 common thread among you which is that in OaHsxPwI0XE-00894-00194936-00195190 your own ways each one of you have had OaHsxPwI0XE-00895-00195191-00195478 to sort of create a space whether it's OaHsxPwI0XE-00896-00195479-00195726 literal or metaphorical OaHsxPwI0XE-00897-00195727-00195919 for thinking and i'm wondering if each OaHsxPwI0XE-00898-00195920-00196119 one of you could speak into how you've OaHsxPwI0XE-00899-00196120-00196638 done that in your respective roles OaHsxPwI0XE-00900-00196639-00196807 and why we have to do it by the way OaHsxPwI0XE-00901-00196808-00197143 which is seems silly OaHsxPwI0XE-00902-00197144-00197326 i'll dive in OaHsxPwI0XE-00903-00197327-00197638 um i think creating a space for thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00904-00197639-00197719 is OaHsxPwI0XE-00905-00197720-00198038 is it's important to remove boundaries OaHsxPwI0XE-00906-00198039-00198354 so there are so many um OaHsxPwI0XE-00907-00198355-00198623 expectations or OaHsxPwI0XE-00908-00198624-00198814 you know um OaHsxPwI0XE-00909-00198815-00199031 i don't know like historical OaHsxPwI0XE-00910-00199032-00199383 um OaHsxPwI0XE-00911-00199384-00199607 likes guidelines that you feel locked OaHsxPwI0XE-00912-00199608-00199911 into sometimes they're like these norms OaHsxPwI0XE-00913-00199912-00200023 that OaHsxPwI0XE-00914-00200024-00200183 you are kind of almost like forced to OaHsxPwI0XE-00915-00200184-00200375 buy into because they're just repetitive OaHsxPwI0XE-00916-00200376-00200559 and it's just it's just what you're used OaHsxPwI0XE-00917-00200560-00200750 to school is like this because that's OaHsxPwI0XE-00918-00200751-00200902 what it's always been OaHsxPwI0XE-00919-00200903-00201078 so i think the first way to really OaHsxPwI0XE-00920-00201079-00201302 unlock thinking is to create a space or OaHsxPwI0XE-00921-00201303-00201583 to enhance thinking is to create a space OaHsxPwI0XE-00922-00201584-00201687 where OaHsxPwI0XE-00923-00201688-00201935 it becomes more wide open like throw OaHsxPwI0XE-00924-00201936-00202183 anything out there like imagine anything OaHsxPwI0XE-00925-00202184-00202366 like pretend anything's possible for OaHsxPwI0XE-00926-00202367-00202495 just a minute OaHsxPwI0XE-00927-00202496-00202719 and then you know you can kind of work OaHsxPwI0XE-00928-00202720-00202959 from there but i think for sure OaHsxPwI0XE-00929-00202960-00203083 you know in OaHsxPwI0XE-00930-00203084-00203414 education there are so many mandates OaHsxPwI0XE-00931-00203415-00203726 and rules and standards and laws and OaHsxPwI0XE-00932-00203727-00203975 legislatures so i remember when we OaHsxPwI0XE-00933-00203976-00204119 started doing our work together one of OaHsxPwI0XE-00934-00204120-00204278 the things i thought of OaHsxPwI0XE-00935-00204279-00204447 really early on that still sticks with OaHsxPwI0XE-00936-00204448-00204543 me OaHsxPwI0XE-00937-00204544-00204647 is like OaHsxPwI0XE-00938-00204648-00204871 just living right outside the box like OaHsxPwI0XE-00939-00204871-00205038 my foot is still in the box because i OaHsxPwI0XE-00940-00205039-00205271 understand that the truth of the matter OaHsxPwI0XE-00941-00205271-00205471 is we are still held to these demands OaHsxPwI0XE-00942-00205471-00205655 we're still monitored by the state so i OaHsxPwI0XE-00943-00205656-00205951 can't just throw the box out so i have a OaHsxPwI0XE-00944-00205952-00206166 toe in the box i'm touching the box but OaHsxPwI0XE-00945-00206167-00206342 the work i'm doing OaHsxPwI0XE-00946-00206344-00206510 is really OaHsxPwI0XE-00947-00206511-00206734 everywhere else outside the box where i OaHsxPwI0XE-00948-00206735-00206966 can build meaning and solutions that are OaHsxPwI0XE-00949-00206967-00207198 really authentic and that really come OaHsxPwI0XE-00950-00207200-00207455 from that infusion of thinking with my OaHsxPwI0XE-00951-00207456-00207631 peers OaHsxPwI0XE-00952-00207632-00207871 that's great OaHsxPwI0XE-00953-00207871-00208071 mark or sam did you want to comment on OaHsxPwI0XE-00954-00208071-00208198 that OaHsxPwI0XE-00955-00208200-00208398 yeah i um OaHsxPwI0XE-00956-00208400-00208542 so OaHsxPwI0XE-00957-00208544-00208703 you know sam you know said something OaHsxPwI0XE-00958-00208704-00208903 really important uh he said you know we OaHsxPwI0XE-00959-00208904-00209086 didn't we didn't know what the heck uh OaHsxPwI0XE-00960-00209087-00209231 engagement is OaHsxPwI0XE-00961-00209232-00209398 um which is this is really interesting OaHsxPwI0XE-00962-00209400-00209703 for me because the vision of our company OaHsxPwI0XE-00963-00209704-00209887 is engaged humans OaHsxPwI0XE-00964-00209888-00210134 so i feel that sam like every day right OaHsxPwI0XE-00965-00210135-00210327 and so the question of like why did we OaHsxPwI0XE-00966-00210328-00210534 create a space for thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-00967-00210535-00210719 because what what what i was OaHsxPwI0XE-00968-00210719-00211055 experiencing as kind of a non-public OaHsxPwI0XE-00969-00211056-00211246 education entity and learning and a OaHsxPwI0XE-00970-00211248-00211591 company was just seeing like hurting OaHsxPwI0XE-00971-00211592-00211767 organizations organizations were OaHsxPwI0XE-00972-00211767-00211982 literally coming and saying OaHsxPwI0XE-00973-00211983-00212271 we are disengaged with those we serve i OaHsxPwI0XE-00974-00212271-00212510 mean it doesn't get much worse than that OaHsxPwI0XE-00975-00212511-00212671 when you're talking about like if you're OaHsxPwI0XE-00976-00212671-00212815 at the top of an organization or if OaHsxPwI0XE-00977-00212816-00212991 you're a company or if you're a school OaHsxPwI0XE-00978-00212992-00213134 if you can literally say we're OaHsxPwI0XE-00979-00213135-00213367 disengaged from them we don't know how OaHsxPwI0XE-00980-00213367-00213479 to really OaHsxPwI0XE-00981-00213480-00213703 have great conversations with them OaHsxPwI0XE-00982-00213704-00213887 we don't really know how to ask them OaHsxPwI0XE-00983-00213888-00214094 good questions we don't know how to OaHsxPwI0XE-00984-00214096-00214223 convene them OaHsxPwI0XE-00985-00214223-00214471 in any way that matters right because OaHsxPwI0XE-00986-00214471-00214671 everybody is at that point in my OaHsxPwI0XE-00987-00214671-00214967 business were zoomed out and and it it OaHsxPwI0XE-00988-00214967-00215158 had nothing to do with zoom OaHsxPwI0XE-00989-00215159-00215287 right and so OaHsxPwI0XE-00990-00215288-00215487 in terms of creating a space OaHsxPwI0XE-00991-00215488-00215767 so the techniques the tools etc it was OaHsxPwI0XE-00992-00215767-00216063 absolutely driven by our mission right OaHsxPwI0XE-00993-00216064-00216342 and to get to our to our vision so when OaHsxPwI0XE-00994-00216344-00216679 you get really down to vmcl and you ask OaHsxPwI0XE-00995-00216680-00216839 questions like oh why did you create a OaHsxPwI0XE-00996-00216840-00217103 space if you can't answer that with OaHsxPwI0XE-00997-00217104-00217319 it is a it's a capacity that we had to OaHsxPwI0XE-00998-00217319-00217542 build to achieve our daily work to do OaHsxPwI0XE-00999-00217544-00217742 our mission work to achieve our vision OaHsxPwI0XE-01000-00217744-00217991 like making that connection OaHsxPwI0XE-01001-00217992-00218167 we realized oh one of the things we had OaHsxPwI0XE-01002-00218167-00218271 to do OaHsxPwI0XE-01003-00218271-00218582 was we had to figure out how dsrp can be OaHsxPwI0XE-01004-00218583-00218663 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01005-00218664-00218871 it can be incredibly accessible i think OaHsxPwI0XE-01006-00218871-00219063 earlier somebody asked about the agents OaHsxPwI0XE-01007-00219064-00219310 like do you bring the agents in on the OaHsxPwI0XE-01008-00219311-00219494 thinking and i would answer that OaHsxPwI0XE-01009-00219496-00219631 question of like OaHsxPwI0XE-01010-00219632-00219855 possibly but the reality is just do the OaHsxPwI0XE-01011-00219856-00219942 work OaHsxPwI0XE-01012-00219944-00220127 right just do the thinking with them OaHsxPwI0XE-01013-00220128-00220351 just do it with them and if somebody OaHsxPwI0XE-01014-00220352-00220551 asks like what are you doing you can OaHsxPwI0XE-01015-00220552-00220727 bring them into the loop but just focus OaHsxPwI0XE-01016-00220728-00221063 on doing that thinking with them OaHsxPwI0XE-01017-00221064-00221179 and again that was kind of like the OaHsxPwI0XE-01018-00221180-00221415 lvmcl we needed to figure out how to do OaHsxPwI0XE-01019-00221416-00221591 that within the context of her work and OaHsxPwI0XE-01020-00221592-00221791 create that learning space so driven by OaHsxPwI0XE-01021-00221792-00222023 the vision to do our mission work and as OaHsxPwI0XE-01022-00222023-00222582 part of our capacities to do that work OaHsxPwI0XE-01023-00222583-00222682 that's OaHsxPwI0XE-01024-00222683-00222863 great OaHsxPwI0XE-01025-00222864-00223167 that was a good answer thank you OaHsxPwI0XE-01026-00223167-00223391 all right so sam did you want to speak OaHsxPwI0XE-01027-00223392-00223542 into the creating space thing you kind OaHsxPwI0XE-01028-00223544-00223742 of already did a little bit but is there OaHsxPwI0XE-01029-00223744-00223982 anything you want to add or we can yeah OaHsxPwI0XE-01030-00223983-00224158 you can move to the next question well OaHsxPwI0XE-01031-00224159-00224334 the next question is also i think you OaHsxPwI0XE-01032-00224335-00224439 all are like OaHsxPwI0XE-01033-00224440-00224615 the dynamic trio because all the OaHsxPwI0XE-01034-00224616-00224767 questions coming in are for all three of OaHsxPwI0XE-01035-00224767-00224967 you they want all of you to comment so OaHsxPwI0XE-01036-00224967-00225103 the next question OaHsxPwI0XE-01037-00225104-00225358 uh that's coming through the audience is OaHsxPwI0XE-01038-00225359-00225598 could each of you talk a little bit more OaHsxPwI0XE-01039-00225600-00225846 about mental models that you really had OaHsxPwI0XE-01040-00225848-00226158 to change to get to the places where you OaHsxPwI0XE-01041-00226159-00226391 are which are you know successful with OaHsxPwI0XE-01042-00226392-00226598 systems thinking in your relative OaHsxPwI0XE-01043-00226600-00226734 context so OaHsxPwI0XE-01044-00226735-00226910 maybe sam you can kick us off on that OaHsxPwI0XE-01045-00226911-00227231 one i know you talked about engagement OaHsxPwI0XE-01046-00227232-00227415 uh as one of the things you really focus OaHsxPwI0XE-01047-00227416-00227575 on are there others that have stood out OaHsxPwI0XE-01048-00227576-00227839 over the years OaHsxPwI0XE-01049-00227840-00228110 that school is not about teaching it's OaHsxPwI0XE-01050-00228111-00228431 about learning right and that our mental OaHsxPwI0XE-01051-00228432-00228606 model is that OaHsxPwI0XE-01052-00228607-00228919 our system is built for the teacher OaHsxPwI0XE-01053-00228919-00229198 the teacher is the employee OaHsxPwI0XE-01054-00229200-00229303 uh OaHsxPwI0XE-01055-00229304-00229551 we we serve the student right and that's OaHsxPwI0XE-01056-00229552-00229775 and that's who should be the learner OaHsxPwI0XE-01057-00229776-00229951 and i think that that is the one of the OaHsxPwI0XE-01058-00229952-00230151 large the struggles is OaHsxPwI0XE-01059-00230152-00230319 we too often OaHsxPwI0XE-01060-00230319-00230575 have the mental model of trying to OaHsxPwI0XE-01061-00230576-00230823 figure out how students will conform to OaHsxPwI0XE-01062-00230823-00230934 us OaHsxPwI0XE-01063-00230935-00231031 and OaHsxPwI0XE-01064-00231032-00231239 we we forget that we're trying to create OaHsxPwI0XE-01065-00231240-00231582 thinkers right right because OaHsxPwI0XE-01066-00231583-00231855 you know test scores yadda like i'm you OaHsxPwI0XE-01067-00231856-00231951 know OaHsxPwI0XE-01068-00231952-00232127 i hate saying it but blah blah blah OaHsxPwI0XE-01069-00232128-00232319 right my most successful times as a OaHsxPwI0XE-01070-00232319-00232494 principal was when i said to the whole OaHsxPwI0XE-01071-00232496-00232894 faculty stop worrying about test scores OaHsxPwI0XE-01072-00232896-00233063 start teaching kids how to think and OaHsxPwI0XE-01073-00233064-00233231 we'll figure out the test scores and i OaHsxPwI0XE-01074-00233232-00233463 had the highest scores that we ever had OaHsxPwI0XE-01075-00233464-00233639 when i walked into a faculty room and OaHsxPwI0XE-01076-00233640-00233871 said stop you're done don't worry about OaHsxPwI0XE-01077-00233871-00233975 it we're not OaHsxPwI0XE-01078-00233976-00234134 you know and i always do the same thing OaHsxPwI0XE-01079-00234135-00234279 when our scores are good don't hold a OaHsxPwI0XE-01080-00234280-00234406 parade and when they're bad don't hang OaHsxPwI0XE-01081-00234407-00234679 me an effigy let it ride OaHsxPwI0XE-01082-00234680-00234831 we're learning to think right because OaHsxPwI0XE-01083-00234832-00235110 our kids have stopped thinking and you OaHsxPwI0XE-01084-00235111-00235279 know what some of our teachers have look OaHsxPwI0XE-01085-00235280-00235551 at basil reading series and it's like OaHsxPwI0XE-01086-00235552-00235727 education like if i just read this OaHsxPwI0XE-01087-00235728-00235919 script everyone will learn OaHsxPwI0XE-01088-00235919-00236094 and i think it's really dangerous place OaHsxPwI0XE-01089-00236096-00236334 that we've we've forgotten both as OaHsxPwI0XE-01090-00236335-00236575 everybody in our system whether it's OaHsxPwI0XE-01091-00236576-00236846 custodials food service that we don't OaHsxPwI0XE-01092-00236848-00237015 think that we just OaHsxPwI0XE-01093-00237016-00237246 react because what do you want me to do OaHsxPwI0XE-01094-00237248-00237463 how do i get an a thank you very much OaHsxPwI0XE-01095-00237464-00237758 i'll go do that so i think that that OaHsxPwI0XE-01096-00237759-00237942 maybe encompasses one big mental model OaHsxPwI0XE-01097-00237944-00238358 for me yeah for sure for sure OaHsxPwI0XE-01098-00238359-00238527 i think the one that stands out most to OaHsxPwI0XE-01099-00238528-00238671 me is that OaHsxPwI0XE-01100-00238671-00238879 this work is messy OaHsxPwI0XE-01101-00238880-00239046 and that's good OaHsxPwI0XE-01102-00239048-00239223 you know i think that you walk into OaHsxPwI0XE-01103-00239223-00239391 something like this expecting that OaHsxPwI0XE-01104-00239392-00239542 everything you know someone said it OaHsxPwI0XE-01105-00239544-00239782 before is like very linear and students OaHsxPwI0XE-01106-00239783-00239982 go through these grades and we take OaHsxPwI0XE-01107-00239983-00240167 these tests we teach this content and OaHsxPwI0XE-01108-00240167-00240358 this curriculum in order and then we OaHsxPwI0XE-01109-00240359-00240655 assess it and then you know we you know OaHsxPwI0XE-01110-00240656-00240975 we we follow these rules and OaHsxPwI0XE-01111-00240976-00241246 learning and planning for learning and OaHsxPwI0XE-01112-00241248-00241519 finding solutions for learning is really OaHsxPwI0XE-01113-00241519-00241734 messy exciting OaHsxPwI0XE-01114-00241735-00242006 great work so you have to i think you OaHsxPwI0XE-01115-00242007-00242206 have to where my mental model has been OaHsxPwI0XE-01116-00242207-00242367 adjusted is that you have to find OaHsxPwI0XE-01117-00242367-00242615 comfort in that you know the messiness OaHsxPwI0XE-01118-00242616-00242910 the struggle can't feel bad and wrong OaHsxPwI0XE-01119-00242911-00243039 the struggle OaHsxPwI0XE-01120-00243040-00243255 to me the messiness of that is the OaHsxPwI0XE-01121-00243256-00243479 transformation and it's the growth and OaHsxPwI0XE-01122-00243480-00243727 it's necessary actually OaHsxPwI0XE-01123-00243728-00244182 yep love that i love that OaHsxPwI0XE-01124-00244183-00244382 yeah this is my favorite question but OaHsxPwI0XE-01125-00244383-00244582 like it's uh OaHsxPwI0XE-01126-00244583-00244742 the reason it's my favorite question is OaHsxPwI0XE-01127-00244744-00244879 i'm gonna answer it slightly different OaHsxPwI0XE-01128-00244880-00245087 from a perspective of like the work we OaHsxPwI0XE-01129-00245088-00245271 do with clients around mental models OaHsxPwI0XE-01130-00245271-00245527 because i think taran and sam both gave OaHsxPwI0XE-01131-00245528-00245758 amazing answers and so thinking about OaHsxPwI0XE-01132-00245759-00246015 how we help clients in using mental OaHsxPwI0XE-01133-00246016-00246382 models because they're everything right OaHsxPwI0XE-01134-00246383-00246623 and so um didn't talk a lot about some OaHsxPwI0XE-01135-00246623-00246798 of the work we do we work with those OaHsxPwI0XE-01136-00246800-00247015 amazing clients um i have a client who's OaHsxPwI0XE-01137-00247016-00247182 actually in the room so uh they're OaHsxPwI0XE-01138-00247183-00247510 participating today um it's uh it's hbi OaHsxPwI0XE-01139-00247511-00247710 it's the home builders institute so it's OaHsxPwI0XE-01140-00247711-00247863 uh you know part of the national OaHsxPwI0XE-01141-00247864-00248039 association of home builders OaHsxPwI0XE-01142-00248040-00248398 and they're one of our clients and OaHsxPwI0XE-01143-00248400-00248630 so for me what i had to figure out was OaHsxPwI0XE-01144-00248631-00248855 as a business owner right especially in OaHsxPwI0XE-01145-00248856-00249151 the education space is be very confident OaHsxPwI0XE-01146-00249152-00249319 in the solutions solutions you're OaHsxPwI0XE-01147-00249319-00249510 providing to an organization and you may OaHsxPwI0XE-01148-00249511-00249639 not be telling them what they want to OaHsxPwI0XE-01149-00249640-00249734 hear OaHsxPwI0XE-01150-00249735-00249942 because you have to very quickly assess OaHsxPwI0XE-01151-00249944-00250182 where is their mental model and we have OaHsxPwI0XE-01152-00250183-00250463 to really ascertain quickly is do i need OaHsxPwI0XE-01153-00250464-00250655 to help them make a mental model shift OaHsxPwI0XE-01154-00250656-00250934 and if i do and we can do that work OaHsxPwI0XE-01155-00250935-00251230 together it'll be an incredible project OaHsxPwI0XE-01156-00251231-00251423 it'll be an incredible effort OaHsxPwI0XE-01157-00251423-00251591 and so you know i'll just share this OaHsxPwI0XE-01158-00251592-00251798 really briefly so one of the things that OaHsxPwI0XE-01159-00251800-00252063 we started working with hbi on was OaHsxPwI0XE-01160-00252064-00252175 that OaHsxPwI0XE-01161-00252176-00252334 if you talk about OaHsxPwI0XE-01162-00252335-00252527 embracing a crisis right now the home OaHsxPwI0XE-01163-00252528-00252767 building industry is in crisis right and OaHsxPwI0XE-01164-00252767-00253071 so really kind of briefly the OaHsxPwI0XE-01165-00253071-00253215 goal is OaHsxPwI0XE-01166-00253216-00253367 that they had an existing program that OaHsxPwI0XE-01167-00253367-00253591 was to help kids in the home building OaHsxPwI0XE-01168-00253592-00253846 sector like k-12 become entrepreneurial OaHsxPwI0XE-01169-00253848-00253998 and explore entrepreneurism to make sure OaHsxPwI0XE-01170-00254000-00254158 we don't have a dying off of home OaHsxPwI0XE-01171-00254159-00254358 builders in the u.s and to help the OaHsxPwI0XE-01172-00254359-00254582 workforce so what we discovered was OaHsxPwI0XE-01173-00254583-00254871 their mental model was that they would OaHsxPwI0XE-01174-00254871-00255063 eat until a student raised their hand OaHsxPwI0XE-01175-00255064-00255191 and said i want to learn about OaHsxPwI0XE-01176-00255192-00255367 entrepreneurism and if we look at OaHsxPwI0XE-01177-00255367-00255519 statistically speaking entrepreneurial OaHsxPwI0XE-01178-00255519-00255694 rates are incredibly low in the united OaHsxPwI0XE-01179-00255696-00255982 states about three out of every 100 kids OaHsxPwI0XE-01180-00255983-00256175 and imagine how many of those are home OaHsxPwI0XE-01181-00256176-00256358 builders so even less OaHsxPwI0XE-01182-00256359-00256455 right OaHsxPwI0XE-01183-00256456-00256655 and so by having that model their course OaHsxPwI0XE-01184-00256656-00256751 and they won't OaHsxPwI0XE-01185-00256752-00256982 be too uh proud to say that you know be OaHsxPwI0XE-01186-00256983-00257142 okay with me saying this it sat on the OaHsxPwI0XE-01187-00257144-00257430 shelf right so it was education it was OaHsxPwI0XE-01188-00257431-00257575 learning that was not reaching the OaHsxPwI0XE-01189-00257576-00257687 target OaHsxPwI0XE-01190-00257688-00257887 and so what we looked at was how could OaHsxPwI0XE-01191-00257888-00258110 we shift that mental model and so we OaHsxPwI0XE-01192-00258111-00258271 shifted the mental model to say well OaHsxPwI0XE-01193-00258271-00258479 instead of serving the entrepreneurs who OaHsxPwI0XE-01194-00258480-00258719 raise their hand what we want to do is OaHsxPwI0XE-01195-00258719-00258919 have a mental model of growing OaHsxPwI0XE-01196-00258919-00259063 entrepreneurial a growing OaHsxPwI0XE-01197-00259064-00259246 entrepreneurial spirit which means we OaHsxPwI0XE-01198-00259248-00259558 need to expose all 1000 students OaHsxPwI0XE-01199-00259559-00259751 to entrepreneurial entrepreneurism OaHsxPwI0XE-01200-00259752-00259903 within the context of the way they OaHsxPwI0XE-01201-00259904-00260198 deliver their their curriculum so OaHsxPwI0XE-01202-00260200-00260382 that was an incredible mental model OaHsxPwI0XE-01203-00260383-00260655 shift that literally has led to the work OaHsxPwI0XE-01204-00260656-00260958 that we're doing with them uh to impact OaHsxPwI0XE-01205-00260959-00261167 entrepreneurs and across the u.s OaHsxPwI0XE-01206-00261167-00261334 so if you think mental models aren't OaHsxPwI0XE-01207-00261335-00261558 powerful that's how powerful they are OaHsxPwI0XE-01208-00261559-00261751 right they they are literally everything OaHsxPwI0XE-01209-00261752-00262063 to an organization uh and it even gets OaHsxPwI0XE-01210-00262064-00262287 down to like how we approach uh products OaHsxPwI0XE-01211-00262288-00262527 and services things we do right right OaHsxPwI0XE-01212-00262528-00262663 right OaHsxPwI0XE-01213-00262664-00262855 well so we have a you know a fair amount OaHsxPwI0XE-01214-00262856-00262991 of people in the audience i know there's OaHsxPwI0XE-01215-00262992-00263230 been a lot of interest in education OaHsxPwI0XE-01216-00263231-00263471 generally in the last day and also today OaHsxPwI0XE-01217-00263472-00263647 people have been asking about that and OaHsxPwI0XE-01218-00263648-00263871 one of the things that i think OaHsxPwI0XE-01219-00263872-00264143 uh that's obvious from the questions is OaHsxPwI0XE-01220-00264144-00264351 people really want to know OaHsxPwI0XE-01221-00264352-00264551 well okay this all is great but how do i OaHsxPwI0XE-01222-00264552-00264806 actually do it how do i you know what do OaHsxPwI0XE-01223-00264807-00264982 i actually how do i actually teach OaHsxPwI0XE-01224-00264983-00265255 students in particular young students OaHsxPwI0XE-01225-00265256-00265463 to become systems thinkers what are the OaHsxPwI0XE-01226-00265464-00265679 tools the methods how do you actually do OaHsxPwI0XE-01227-00265680-00265855 it in that moment where it's student and OaHsxPwI0XE-01228-00265856-00266015 teacher and i'm wondering if you could OaHsxPwI0XE-01229-00266016-00266295 speak to that i mean maybe tara you OaHsxPwI0XE-01230-00266296-00266399 could start with that because i know OaHsxPwI0XE-01231-00266400-00266551 when we first met you were supporting OaHsxPwI0XE-01232-00266552-00266799 literacy for younger kids in uh green OaHsxPwI0XE-01233-00266800-00266975 house you could talk about some of those OaHsxPwI0XE-01234-00266976-00267071 tools and OaHsxPwI0XE-01235-00267072-00267158 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01236-00267159-00267310 sam you'd also mentioned when you're OaHsxPwI0XE-01237-00267311-00267455 talking about the different modes of OaHsxPwI0XE-01238-00267456-00267655 inquiry when you're doing an observation OaHsxPwI0XE-01239-00267656-00267815 so maybe you could help the audience OaHsxPwI0XE-01240-00267816-00268087 with some specificity in that OaHsxPwI0XE-01241-00268088-00268223 yeah sure OaHsxPwI0XE-01242-00268224-00268406 so when i think about our experience OaHsxPwI0XE-01243-00268407-00268558 with the students which is really where OaHsxPwI0XE-01244-00268559-00268719 the rubber meets the road and i think OaHsxPwI0XE-01245-00268720-00268951 that's where i was really changed which OaHsxPwI0XE-01246-00268952-00269182 was that watching them do it and what OaHsxPwI0XE-01247-00269183-00269358 they were coming up with and how it was OaHsxPwI0XE-01248-00269359-00269575 really impacting their thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01249-00269576-00269775 to move into such a deeper place was OaHsxPwI0XE-01250-00269776-00269855 like OaHsxPwI0XE-01251-00269856-00270015 it was moving OaHsxPwI0XE-01252-00270016-00270167 i'll never forget there was a group of OaHsxPwI0XE-01253-00270168-00270334 students in a third grade classroom so OaHsxPwI0XE-01254-00270335-00270527 we were doing a project and i showed a OaHsxPwI0XE-01255-00270528-00270734 picture of those think blocks and to me OaHsxPwI0XE-01256-00270735-00270903 the think blocks were really important OaHsxPwI0XE-01257-00270904-00271158 because it showed them their thinking it OaHsxPwI0XE-01258-00271159-00271455 brought it to something tangible i think OaHsxPwI0XE-01259-00271456-00271599 earlier in the session you were talking OaHsxPwI0XE-01260-00271600-00271823 about like dinner time conversations OaHsxPwI0XE-01261-00271824-00271991 where you were moving food i remember OaHsxPwI0XE-01262-00271992-00272110 that was one of derek's first OaHsxPwI0XE-01263-00272111-00272358 conversations like there is a place OaHsxPwI0XE-01264-00272359-00272519 where they have to see it it has to OaHsxPwI0XE-01265-00272520-00272710 become concrete so that we could talk OaHsxPwI0XE-01266-00272711-00272951 about it and move it around so the think OaHsxPwI0XE-01267-00272952-00273134 blocks were so powerful and we were OaHsxPwI0XE-01268-00273135-00273382 doing a project um OaHsxPwI0XE-01269-00273383-00273687 and it was about you know looking at OaHsxPwI0XE-01270-00273688-00273982 responding to malaria in sub-saharan OaHsxPwI0XE-01271-00273983-00274199 africa i mean let me remind you third OaHsxPwI0XE-01272-00274200-00274382 graders are like OaHsxPwI0XE-01273-00274383-00274479 nine OaHsxPwI0XE-01274-00274480-00274639 they're eight years old OaHsxPwI0XE-01275-00274640-00274847 and as they were researching this and OaHsxPwI0XE-01276-00274848-00275039 coming up with things i remember there OaHsxPwI0XE-01277-00275040-00275206 have been a few times in my career where OaHsxPwI0XE-01278-00275207-00275358 i was like geez i wish i could record OaHsxPwI0XE-01279-00275359-00275439 this OaHsxPwI0XE-01280-00275440-00275575 and there was a group of students they OaHsxPwI0XE-01281-00275576-00275758 were talking about um OaHsxPwI0XE-01282-00275759-00275934 how catnip OaHsxPwI0XE-01283-00275935-00276151 is uh you know it repels mosquitoes OaHsxPwI0XE-01284-00276152-00276358 which is at the heart of this crisis and OaHsxPwI0XE-01285-00276359-00276447 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01286-00276448-00276623 and catnip grows in the hottest OaHsxPwI0XE-01287-00276624-00276806 conditions and it's cheap and easy to OaHsxPwI0XE-01288-00276807-00277079 grow and you could use it as an outer OaHsxPwI0XE-01289-00277080-00277382 layer on the roofs of of the structures OaHsxPwI0XE-01290-00277383-00277543 so they were breaking things into parts OaHsxPwI0XE-01291-00277544-00277679 so they knew what the structures looked OaHsxPwI0XE-01292-00277680-00278006 like but the blow away moment for me was OaHsxPwI0XE-01293-00278007-00278182 when they said um OaHsxPwI0XE-01294-00278183-00278382 and this is them like i'm just watching OaHsxPwI0XE-01295-00278383-00278519 i wasn't doing anything at that point OaHsxPwI0XE-01296-00278520-00278710 you know you're giving them the tools OaHsxPwI0XE-01297-00278711-00278967 helping them see their thinking so then OaHsxPwI0XE-01298-00278968-00279239 they could use it later OaHsxPwI0XE-01299-00279240-00279503 and the one student said well just OaHsxPwI0XE-01300-00279504-00279671 remember if we look at this from a OaHsxPwI0XE-01301-00279672-00279855 different perspective with every OaHsxPwI0XE-01302-00279856-00280063 solution there could be there could be OaHsxPwI0XE-01303-00280064-00280295 other problems that are caused so if OaHsxPwI0XE-01304-00280296-00280567 we're using catnip do we really want to OaHsxPwI0XE-01305-00280568-00280663 draw OaHsxPwI0XE-01306-00280664-00280934 large wild cats to these villages in OaHsxPwI0XE-01307-00280935-00281151 sub-saharan africa or could that cause OaHsxPwI0XE-01308-00281152-00281479 another problem and i was like OaHsxPwI0XE-01309-00281480-00281719 you don't need me goodbye OaHsxPwI0XE-01310-00281720-00281991 it was so unbelievable to watch but so OaHsxPwI0XE-01311-00281992-00282310 how did you do it uh you know you had a OaHsxPwI0XE-01312-00282311-00282543 poster i actually almost used it and it OaHsxPwI0XE-01313-00282544-00282758 was so simple i guess is the point you OaHsxPwI0XE-01314-00282759-00282967 had a poster that had some questions you OaHsxPwI0XE-01315-00282968-00283182 know distinctions what is it what is it OaHsxPwI0XE-01316-00283183-00283263 not OaHsxPwI0XE-01317-00283264-00283479 um point of view what does this look OaHsxPwI0XE-01318-00283480-00283710 like what does the other look like um OaHsxPwI0XE-01319-00283711-00283879 and but i really feel like very OaHsxPwI0XE-01320-00283880-00284095 connected to the blocks because you're OaHsxPwI0XE-01321-00284096-00284287 you do it naturally so we would be OaHsxPwI0XE-01322-00284288-00284543 reading or writing and you know what is OaHsxPwI0XE-01323-00284544-00284751 what are the parts of this story and OaHsxPwI0XE-01324-00284752-00284903 they knew that and this there were OaHsxPwI0XE-01325-00284904-00285030 questions that they were asked to do all OaHsxPwI0XE-01326-00285031-00285158 the time so it's like okay let's write OaHsxPwI0XE-01327-00285159-00285367 that on the blocks look these are the OaHsxPwI0XE-01328-00285368-00285671 parts of a whole that is a story so we OaHsxPwI0XE-01329-00285672-00285847 started infusing it with things that OaHsxPwI0XE-01330-00285848-00286054 they were already doing OaHsxPwI0XE-01331-00286055-00286271 and thinking that was already taking OaHsxPwI0XE-01332-00286272-00286495 place and then we allowed them to take OaHsxPwI0XE-01333-00286496-00286743 those tools and now purposely OaHsxPwI0XE-01334-00286744-00286967 and intentionally bring those tools to OaHsxPwI0XE-01335-00286968-00287127 other things that they were not OaHsxPwI0XE-01336-00287128-00287351 experienced with so now we know that OaHsxPwI0XE-01337-00287352-00287582 these are parts to a story so a story is OaHsxPwI0XE-01338-00287583-00287815 the whole which has parts but what about OaHsxPwI0XE-01339-00287816-00287999 when we're looking at sub-saharan africa OaHsxPwI0XE-01340-00288000-00288158 what's the whole what's the parts how do OaHsxPwI0XE-01341-00288159-00288399 we think about that and it was OaHsxPwI0XE-01342-00288400-00288567 unbelievable that they just you know OaHsxPwI0XE-01343-00288568-00288823 they have no reservation they just well OaHsxPwI0XE-01344-00288824-00289054 let me dive in and try there's no fear OaHsxPwI0XE-01345-00289055-00289239 of failure or i'm not really sure how to OaHsxPwI0XE-01346-00289240-00289447 do this it's just OaHsxPwI0XE-01347-00289448-00289567 something that they do and it's really OaHsxPwI0XE-01348-00289568-00289743 powerful to watch OaHsxPwI0XE-01349-00289744-00289975 yeah that's great and you know i'm gonna OaHsxPwI0XE-01350-00289976-00290119 jump from what you just said which is OaHsxPwI0XE-01351-00290120-00290271 they don't even OaHsxPwI0XE-01352-00290272-00290439 they don't even need you to what you OaHsxPwI0XE-01353-00290440-00290663 were talking about sam about shifting OaHsxPwI0XE-01354-00290664-00290823 from schools that are designed for OaHsxPwI0XE-01355-00290824-00291063 teachers versus design for learners so OaHsxPwI0XE-01356-00291064-00291206 maybe you can OaHsxPwI0XE-01357-00291207-00291375 connect into the learner like how did OaHsxPwI0XE-01358-00291376-00291630 you actually make that shift not just OaHsxPwI0XE-01359-00291631-00291903 culturally but like on the ground from OaHsxPwI0XE-01360-00291904-00292119 teacher center to learner-centered at OaHsxPwI0XE-01361-00292120-00292447 sdsd OaHsxPwI0XE-01362-00292448-00292615 right so OaHsxPwI0XE-01363-00292616-00292799 i mean i'll also acknowledge we are OaHsxPwI0XE-01364-00292800-00293063 certainly not there right we are OaHsxPwI0XE-01365-00293064-00293263 very much a work in progress OaHsxPwI0XE-01366-00293264-00293551 and i think tara probably has more OaHsxPwI0XE-01367-00293552-00293727 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01368-00293728-00293910 more experience with OaHsxPwI0XE-01369-00293911-00294158 developing students in this area OaHsxPwI0XE-01370-00294159-00294295 i think that that was my struggle from OaHsxPwI0XE-01371-00294296-00294430 the get-go is do i start with the OaHsxPwI0XE-01372-00294431-00294639 teachers or the students i almost OaHsxPwI0XE-01373-00294640-00294847 believe what tara said i don't even know OaHsxPwI0XE-01374-00294848-00294999 if the students need us if we can just OaHsxPwI0XE-01375-00295000-00295182 get out of their way they probably OaHsxPwI0XE-01376-00295183-00295447 process this information a lot like this OaHsxPwI0XE-01377-00295448-00295647 it's so many times that it's the faculty OaHsxPwI0XE-01378-00295648-00295782 that hold them back OaHsxPwI0XE-01379-00295783-00295958 and so that was a struggle for me do i OaHsxPwI0XE-01380-00295959-00296223 start with students and in OaHsxPwI0XE-01381-00296224-00296439 real in reality provide them with this OaHsxPwI0XE-01382-00296440-00296751 so that they this ability to articulate OaHsxPwI0XE-01383-00296752-00296934 their thinking and make it visible which OaHsxPwI0XE-01384-00296935-00297206 will then force teachers to change or do OaHsxPwI0XE-01385-00297207-00297343 i OaHsxPwI0XE-01386-00297344-00297551 provide this safe space where teachers OaHsxPwI0XE-01387-00297552-00297758 will not inhibit the students growth OaHsxPwI0XE-01388-00297759-00297887 because they're afraid of what the OaHsxPwI0XE-01389-00297888-00298079 students are doing right and so that's OaHsxPwI0XE-01390-00298080-00298343 always i'm not sure which one is right OaHsxPwI0XE-01391-00298344-00298487 yet um OaHsxPwI0XE-01392-00298488-00298687 and so we've tried to build the capacity OaHsxPwI0XE-01393-00298688-00298919 and like many of us like you know cove OaHsxPwI0XE-01394-00298920-00299039 had stuck OaHsxPwI0XE-01395-00299040-00299239 you know a big old stop sign and a lot OaHsxPwI0XE-01396-00299240-00299430 of the work that we've been doing and so OaHsxPwI0XE-01397-00299431-00299639 trying to pick that back up but for me OaHsxPwI0XE-01398-00299640-00299782 it's been more about trying to build OaHsxPwI0XE-01399-00299783-00300071 that capacity and allow students OaHsxPwI0XE-01400-00300072-00300167 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01401-00300168-00300310 to to grow OaHsxPwI0XE-01402-00300311-00300495 and like we all have these stories and OaHsxPwI0XE-01403-00300496-00300734 one of ours in instructional rounds is i OaHsxPwI0XE-01404-00300735-00300903 was in a fourth grade class they were OaHsxPwI0XE-01405-00300904-00301143 doing circumference here as a kid OaHsxPwI0XE-01406-00301144-00301303 everybody was sure that he wasn't OaHsxPwI0XE-01407-00301304-00301567 engaged he's not paying attention he's OaHsxPwI0XE-01408-00301568-00301775 you know blah blah blah he raises his OaHsxPwI0XE-01409-00301776-00301943 hand and says OaHsxPwI0XE-01410-00301944-00302127 hey mrs kelly OaHsxPwI0XE-01411-00302128-00302295 why do we have to call it a circle if we OaHsxPwI0XE-01412-00302296-00302423 have to figure out the circumference OaHsxPwI0XE-01413-00302424-00302558 can't we just call them circumferences OaHsxPwI0XE-01414-00302559-00302719 and stop calling them circles why do we OaHsxPwI0XE-01415-00302720-00302951 need to have two names right and OaHsxPwI0XE-01416-00302952-00303103 everybody was sure that this kid's OaHsxPwI0XE-01417-00303104-00303351 paying no attention and yet you know he OaHsxPwI0XE-01418-00303352-00303495 has the deepest con OaHsxPwI0XE-01419-00303496-00303615 you know everybody else can figure out OaHsxPwI0XE-01420-00303616-00303782 what circumference is but OaHsxPwI0XE-01421-00303783-00303999 he's thinking like how are these the OaHsxPwI0XE-01422-00304000-00304167 same why are these two words different OaHsxPwI0XE-01423-00304168-00304343 like why this doesn't make sense to me OaHsxPwI0XE-01424-00304344-00304727 right so i think giving teachers the OaHsxPwI0XE-01425-00304728-00304887 capacity right OaHsxPwI0XE-01426-00304888-00305151 to allow this to happen for me has been OaHsxPwI0XE-01427-00305152-00305479 the way i've been moving trying to move OaHsxPwI0XE-01428-00305480-00305654 our district forward OaHsxPwI0XE-01429-00305655-00305895 to help students get there so OaHsxPwI0XE-01430-00305896-00306134 that's great it's great OaHsxPwI0XE-01431-00306135-00306334 i'm wondering if i can OaHsxPwI0XE-01432-00306335-00306527 impose on the three of you to stay on OaHsxPwI0XE-01433-00306528-00306671 for a few more minutes we've still got OaHsxPwI0XE-01434-00306672-00306839 some questions and we're going to do an OaHsxPwI0XE-01435-00306840-00307023 unprecedented move at the end of the OaHsxPwI0XE-01436-00307024-00307175 conference which is OaHsxPwI0XE-01437-00307176-00307399 i have dr derek bear who's just chomping OaHsxPwI0XE-01438-00307400-00307615 at the bit to ask you a

we're going to transition it with OaHsxPwI0XE-01442-00308240-00308439 great adaptivity because we're systems OaHsxPwI0XE-01443-00308440-00308703 thinkers after all right so derek i'm OaHsxPwI0XE-01444-00308704-00308791 going to OaHsxPwI0XE-01445-00308792-00309063 mute myself which allows you to OaHsxPwI0XE-01446-00309064-00309287 take it away OaHsxPwI0XE-01447-00309288-00309430 thank you OaHsxPwI0XE-01448-00309431-00309782 um this has been wonderful to watch uh OaHsxPwI0XE-01449-00309783-00310206 you know three of my favorite people um OaHsxPwI0XE-01450-00310207-00310287 i OaHsxPwI0XE-01451-00310288-00310495 i want to switch gears a little bit OaHsxPwI0XE-01452-00310496-00310710 because you know in education we get we OaHsxPwI0XE-01453-00310711-00310895 do get hung up on like all the things OaHsxPwI0XE-01454-00310896-00311206 we're teaching you know and um OaHsxPwI0XE-01455-00311207-00311430 and i want to OaHsxPwI0XE-01456-00311431-00311606 i want to just get your your guys's OaHsxPwI0XE-01457-00311607-00311830 thoughts on on OaHsxPwI0XE-01458-00311831-00311943 i've always OaHsxPwI0XE-01459-00311944-00312199 thought that when we see a student's OaHsxPwI0XE-01460-00312200-00312334 thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01461-00312335-00312623 we see the student OaHsxPwI0XE-01462-00312624-00312791 and and just OaHsxPwI0XE-01463-00312792-00312879 talk OaHsxPwI0XE-01464-00312880-00313023 i'd like to hear from all three of you OaHsxPwI0XE-01465-00313024-00313223 on what what does that mean to you OaHsxPwI0XE-01466-00313224-00313406 because to me it's OaHsxPwI0XE-01467-00313407-00313863 it's incredibly meaningful OaHsxPwI0XE-01468-00313864-00314127 yeah derek i actually so tara you act OaHsxPwI0XE-01469-00314128-00314263 you mentioned something in your OaHsxPwI0XE-01470-00314264-00314415 conversation you said seeing everybody OaHsxPwI0XE-01471-00314416-00314551 in the room OaHsxPwI0XE-01472-00314552-00314710 right which i and i wrote that down OaHsxPwI0XE-01473-00314711-00314815 because i thought you know this is OaHsxPwI0XE-01474-00314816-00314951 something that we should circle back and OaHsxPwI0XE-01475-00314952-00315082 talk on OaHsxPwI0XE-01476-00315083-00315415 um from the from OaHsxPwI0XE-01477-00315416-00315582 from one perspective derek i think what OaHsxPwI0XE-01478-00315583-00315910 that means to me is that um OaHsxPwI0XE-01479-00315911-00316175 we're real humans and when we show up OaHsxPwI0XE-01480-00316176-00316471 we're not showing up necessarily for OaHsxPwI0XE-01481-00316472-00316671 what we believe is the same reason right OaHsxPwI0XE-01482-00316672-00316815 like we think people are going to show OaHsxPwI0XE-01483-00316816-00317023 up to like uh OaHsxPwI0XE-01484-00317024-00317230 the content i'm going to share today is OaHsxPwI0XE-01485-00317231-00317495 such an amazing piece of content that's OaHsxPwI0XE-01486-00317496-00317734 why everybody is showing up OaHsxPwI0XE-01487-00317735-00317991 and that everybody is certainly ready to OaHsxPwI0XE-01488-00317992-00318271 engage with that content right you know OaHsxPwI0XE-01489-00318272-00318382 and so OaHsxPwI0XE-01490-00318383-00318534 i and what's interesting is i think is OaHsxPwI0XE-01491-00318535-00318823 when you start to become aware of seeing OaHsxPwI0XE-01492-00318824-00318967 everybody that's in the room in front of OaHsxPwI0XE-01493-00318968-00319182 you start to realize that whatever OaHsxPwI0XE-01494-00319183-00319334 happened to them the moments before OaHsxPwI0XE-01495-00319335-00319447 whatever happened to them the night OaHsxPwI0XE-01496-00319448-00319606 before whatever hap is happening in OaHsxPwI0XE-01497-00319607-00319719 their life OaHsxPwI0XE-01498-00319720-00319903 uh if they're an adult if this is for OaHsxPwI0XE-01499-00319904-00320063 their job they have a very different OaHsxPwI0XE-01500-00320064-00320303 perspective of why they're there today OaHsxPwI0XE-01501-00320304-00320430 it might have nothing to do with the OaHsxPwI0XE-01502-00320431-00320567 content it might have everything to do OaHsxPwI0XE-01503-00320568-00320863 with complying with their boss OaHsxPwI0XE-01504-00320864-00320991 right um OaHsxPwI0XE-01505-00320992-00321175 and for for kids of course a host of OaHsxPwI0XE-01506-00321176-00321287 reasons OaHsxPwI0XE-01507-00321288-00321639 uh and so it's absolutely critical that OaHsxPwI0XE-01508-00321640-00322006 we have that ability to literally look OaHsxPwI0XE-01509-00322007-00322295 at each person that we're working with OaHsxPwI0XE-01510-00322296-00322558 and while we may not have that ability OaHsxPwI0XE-01511-00322559-00322767 to have the conversation with sam or OaHsxPwI0XE-01512-00322768-00323047 with tara or derek at that moment OaHsxPwI0XE-01513-00323048-00323215 what we have to look for are the cues OaHsxPwI0XE-01514-00323216-00323439 the things that they're sending to us OaHsxPwI0XE-01515-00323440-00323751 right the interaction the body language OaHsxPwI0XE-01516-00323752-00323927 the questions that they are asking OaHsxPwI0XE-01517-00323928-00324054 because there's a great phrase i'll kind OaHsxPwI0XE-01518-00324055-00324247 of end with this is that you know OaHsxPwI0XE-01519-00324248-00324423 questions predict the future before the OaHsxPwI0XE-01520-00324424-00324558 answers arrive OaHsxPwI0XE-01521-00324559-00324782 and so when sam had that that gentleman OaHsxPwI0XE-01522-00324783-00324982 asked the the boy asked the question why OaHsxPwI0XE-01523-00324983-00325175 can't we call it right OaHsxPwI0XE-01524-00325176-00325430 there's a lot hidden in that question OaHsxPwI0XE-01525-00325431-00325671 it's predicting kind of like you know OaHsxPwI0XE-01526-00325672-00325910 where is this student's mind where is OaHsxPwI0XE-01527-00325911-00326158 their perspective coming from OaHsxPwI0XE-01528-00326159-00326527 um so i i think uh i'll wrap it up and OaHsxPwI0XE-01529-00326528-00326719 say i think it's um OaHsxPwI0XE-01530-00326720-00326879 just an acknowledgement that we're all OaHsxPwI0XE-01531-00326880-00326982 humans OaHsxPwI0XE-01532-00326983-00327247 and that we uh likewise you know see OaHsxPwI0XE-01533-00327248-00327367 everybody in the room for those OaHsxPwI0XE-01534-00327368-00327958 different reasons they're present OaHsxPwI0XE-01535-00327959-00328134 yeah that's awesome mark i'll i'll OaHsxPwI0XE-01536-00328135-00328367 expand on that and i think that OaHsxPwI0XE-01537-00328368-00328623 it's a level of vulnerability that they OaHsxPwI0XE-01538-00328624-00328871 have to trust that you really want to OaHsxPwI0XE-01539-00328872-00329030 know what they're thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01540-00329031-00329367 so it's really easy to ask the question OaHsxPwI0XE-01541-00329368-00329558 and have the student who always gives OaHsxPwI0XE-01542-00329559-00329751 the right answers give the right answers OaHsxPwI0XE-01543-00329752-00330039 and tell you what they're thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01544-00330040-00330199 but oftentimes they're just telling you OaHsxPwI0XE-01545-00330200-00330447 what they think you want to hear OaHsxPwI0XE-01546-00330448-00330687 so it's a really vulnerable space for OaHsxPwI0XE-01547-00330688-00330895 students to be willing to share the OaHsxPwI0XE-01548-00330896-00331182 intimacy of what they're thinking and OaHsxPwI0XE-01549-00331183-00331334 what they're thinking is usually OaHsxPwI0XE-01550-00331335-00331527 incredibly amazing it's sometimes OaHsxPwI0XE-01551-00331528-00331919 devastating um it's powerful and i think OaHsxPwI0XE-01552-00331920-00332110 one of the hardest things we're finding OaHsxPwI0XE-01553-00332111-00332343 with kovid is that when i go into OaHsxPwI0XE-01554-00332344-00332567 classrooms and where i'm working with OaHsxPwI0XE-01555-00332568-00332863 teachers and i say how are the kids OaHsxPwI0XE-01556-00332864-00332982 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01557-00332983-00333071 one of the things they've been OaHsxPwI0XE-01558-00333072-00333303 struggling most with is that the kids OaHsxPwI0XE-01559-00333304-00333623 aren't there the kids are not responsive OaHsxPwI0XE-01560-00333624-00333815 they're not smiling or they're not OaHsxPwI0XE-01561-00333816-00333982 they're not reacting OaHsxPwI0XE-01562-00333983-00334063 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01563-00334064-00334199 and so OaHsxPwI0XE-01564-00334200-00334391 it's hard to know with a with that OaHsxPwI0XE-01565-00334392-00334534 blankness OaHsxPwI0XE-01566-00334535-00334695 what they're thinking or what's what's OaHsxPwI0XE-01567-00334696-00334910 getting in what's coming out and so it's OaHsxPwI0XE-01568-00334911-00335054 really been a lot of what we've been OaHsxPwI0XE-01569-00335055-00335182 talking about OaHsxPwI0XE-01570-00335183-00335263 um OaHsxPwI0XE-01571-00335264-00335527 like we said put the content away OaHsxPwI0XE-01572-00335528-00335767 those relationships we have to we have OaHsxPwI0XE-01573-00335768-00335999 to connect with them again and they have OaHsxPwI0XE-01574-00336000-00336254 to trust that we want to and that what OaHsxPwI0XE-01575-00336255-00336454 they're feeling is okay and that before OaHsxPwI0XE-01576-00336455-00336639 we talk about math OaHsxPwI0XE-01577-00336640-00336839 if you're feeling scared about something OaHsxPwI0XE-01578-00336840-00337023 or if you're feeling worried let's talk OaHsxPwI0XE-01579-00337024-00337278 about that first so everything else has OaHsxPwI0XE-01580-00337279-00337558 to come secondary and in a school system OaHsxPwI0XE-01581-00337559-00337767 what i'm also finding is that OaHsxPwI0XE-01582-00337768-00337910 people aren't used to that you know OaHsxPwI0XE-01583-00337911-00338110 we're really good at at OaHsxPwI0XE-01584-00338111-00338319 transferring content we're really good OaHsxPwI0XE-01585-00338320-00338558 at really got it talking about math and OaHsxPwI0XE-01586-00338559-00338823 science but to talk about OaHsxPwI0XE-01587-00338824-00339039 you know feelings and emotions OaHsxPwI0XE-01588-00339040-00339151 and OaHsxPwI0XE-01589-00339152-00339439 those deeply rooted OaHsxPwI0XE-01590-00339440-00339623 concepts that ultimately show what a OaHsxPwI0XE-01591-00339624-00339830 student is thinking and feeling is is a OaHsxPwI0XE-01592-00339831-00339975 real learning curve OaHsxPwI0XE-01593-00339976-00340334 um but like i said earlier um thank god OaHsxPwI0XE-01594-00340335-00340503 that that's our focus right now because OaHsxPwI0XE-01595-00340504-00340687 that's probably always been what's been OaHsxPwI0XE-01596-00340688-00340878 most important and we it's just OaHsxPwI0XE-01597-00340879-00341054 unavoidable now OaHsxPwI0XE-01598-00341055-00341287 yeah that's it might be what's always OaHsxPwI0XE-01599-00341288-00341495 been most important and and it's so OaHsxPwI0XE-01600-00341496-00341743 important what you said there because uh OaHsxPwI0XE-01601-00341744-00341919 you know the emotions a lot of people OaHsxPwI0XE-01602-00341920-00342078 say oh well you're just about thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01603-00342079-00342278 like what about emotions and it's like OaHsxPwI0XE-01604-00342279-00342454 well those emotions are coming from our OaHsxPwI0XE-01605-00342455-00342695 mental models of what we believe might OaHsxPwI0XE-01606-00342696-00342927 be true or what we believe might be the OaHsxPwI0XE-01607-00342928-00343215 case and so we're afraid of something OaHsxPwI0XE-01608-00343216-00343406 and and if you don't get at that mental OaHsxPwI0XE-01609-00343407-00343534 model you're not going to get at the OaHsxPwI0XE-01610-00343535-00343687 emotion and OaHsxPwI0XE-01611-00343688-00343847 and all that so OaHsxPwI0XE-01612-00343848-00344199 sam OaHsxPwI0XE-01613-00344200-00344295 i think OaHsxPwI0XE-01614-00344296-00344599 if if we really see students OaHsxPwI0XE-01615-00344600-00344887 what it really exposes is it exposes us OaHsxPwI0XE-01616-00344888-00345095 as teachers and administrators and our OaHsxPwI0XE-01617-00345096-00345295 own vulnerabilities and our own implicit OaHsxPwI0XE-01618-00345296-00345439 biases OaHsxPwI0XE-01619-00345440-00345591 and someone wrote in there do you see OaHsxPwI0XE-01620-00345592-00345791 strengths or deficits right OaHsxPwI0XE-01621-00345792-00345975 so so many of us walk into that OaHsxPwI0XE-01622-00345976-00346175 classroom with predetermined what looks OaHsxPwI0XE-01623-00346176-00346358 like a deficit and what looks like an OaHsxPwI0XE-01624-00346359-00346471 asset OaHsxPwI0XE-01625-00346472-00346806 and i think if you really stop OaHsxPwI0XE-01626-00346807-00347023 to listen OaHsxPwI0XE-01627-00347024-00347278 and see students as independent thinkers OaHsxPwI0XE-01628-00347279-00347510 that come with their own set of mental OaHsxPwI0XE-01629-00347511-00347743 models right and help guide them through OaHsxPwI0XE-01630-00347744-00347871 their thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01631-00347872-00348143 not to the answer but to the thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01632-00348144-00348319 what's really difficult is to get rid of OaHsxPwI0XE-01633-00348320-00348599 your own biases and vulnerabilities to OaHsxPwI0XE-01634-00348600-00348775 allow that to happen OaHsxPwI0XE-01635-00348776-00349103 and let's and let's be very clear OaHsxPwI0XE-01636-00349104-00349239 that type of OaHsxPwI0XE-01637-00349240-00349575 teaching and learning is hard OaHsxPwI0XE-01638-00349576-00349847 it's very easy to put them in rows OaHsxPwI0XE-01639-00349848-00350023 deliver content OaHsxPwI0XE-01640-00350024-00350151 assess OaHsxPwI0XE-01641-00350152-00350439 assign a grade and move on what's really OaHsxPwI0XE-01642-00350440-00350854 really hard is to have a room of 20 25 OaHsxPwI0XE-01643-00350855-00351063 individuals thinking OaHsxPwI0XE-01644-00351064-00351287 and you to be able to check your own OaHsxPwI0XE-01645-00351288-00351647 biases it's hard work it's not easy and OaHsxPwI0XE-01646-00351648-00351758 so OaHsxPwI0XE-01647-00351759-00351967 when i think about seeing i think about OaHsxPwI0XE-01648-00351968-00352191 a very free-flowing OaHsxPwI0XE-01649-00352192-00352478 thinking room that you have to OaHsxPwI0XE-01650-00352479-00352678 expose your own self OaHsxPwI0XE-01651-00352679-00352830 as the OaHsxPwI0XE-01652-00352831-00353015 quote-unquote leader of the room and i OaHsxPwI0XE-01653-00353016-00353327 think that's what makes it hard OaHsxPwI0XE-01654-00353328-00353415 well OaHsxPwI0XE-01655-00353416-00353703 we thank you for all the i feel like you

same thing for educators OaHsxPwI0XE-01659-00354352-00354663 because the work you guys are doing OaHsxPwI0XE-01660-00354664-00354791 especially OaHsxPwI0XE-01661-00354792-00355087 now now

you um Om47kI694Xg-00005-00001296-00001630 you um started off with where you think Om47kI694Xg-00006-00001632-00001889 we are and then we have Paul and Jesu Om47kI694Xg-00007-00001889-00001973 here Om47kI694Xg-00008-00001973-00002357 yeah yeah thanks thanks Joe I think yeah Om47kI694Xg-00009-00002358-00002584 um maybe before we left off in the last Om47kI694Xg-00010-00002585-00003052 meeting looked like uh on you had maybe Om47kI694Xg-00011-00003053-00003256 some comments you wanted to share about Om47kI694Xg-00012-00003257-00003659 the the 502 submission that you Om47kI694Xg-00013-00003660-00003881 reference a little bit earlier in the Om47kI694Xg-00014-00003882-00004145 year but maybe if you have more detailed Om47kI694Xg-00015-00004146-00004343 comments on how we can improve things or Om47kI694Xg-00016-00004344-00004529 or the overall process we'd love to hear Om47kI694Xg-00017-00004530-00004822 it sure yeah I have some updates I Om47kI694Xg-00018-00004823-00005104 talked to Paul yesterday what we need to Om47kI694Xg-00019-00005105-00005483 bring up um maybe I can share my screen Om47kI694Xg-00020-00005484-00005693 and show some Om47kI694Xg-00021-00005694-00006047 things here sure so Om47kI694Xg-00022-00006048-00006299 um some of the issues that we identify Om47kI694Xg-00023-00006300-00006484 is Om47kI694Xg-00024-00006486-00006623 um like Om47kI694Xg-00025-00006623-00006995 I believe we agree upon Om47kI694Xg-00026-00006995-00007505 um Captain Meyer plot is Interactive Om47kI694Xg-00027-00007506-00007859 um and other tables are static but Om47kI694Xg-00028-00007859-00008195 depending on the filter Om47kI694Xg-00029-00008196-00008549 um on the km Plus for example Om47kI694Xg-00030-00008550-00009095 if we um remove the because they go Om47kI694Xg-00031-00009096-00009353 um it changes the other Om47kI694Xg-00032-00009354-00009664 table it's affecting other tables as Om47kI694Xg-00033-00009665-00009913 well so as you can see it's impossible Om47kI694Xg-00034-00009914-00010319 and then it's giving an error because Om47kI694Xg-00035-00010320-00010510 it's the number of columns provided in Om47kI694Xg-00036-00010511-00010937 header strings does not match data Om47kI694Xg-00037-00010938-00011171 and then even if you cast your data and Om47kI694Xg-00038-00011172-00011591 it's showing this so Om47kI694Xg-00039-00011592-00011855 we identify that depending on the Om47kI694Xg-00040-00011856-00012149 filtering Captain Meyer plot the result Om47kI694Xg-00041-00012150-00012414 of other tables are changing Om47kI694Xg-00042-00012415-00012587 so Om47kI694Xg-00043-00012588-00012785 um maybe that Om47kI694Xg-00044-00012786-00013121 the things to be corrected yep I will Om47kI694Xg-00045-00013122-00013283 definitely work on correcting that thank Om47kI694Xg-00046-00013284-00013547 you for letting me know yep sure and Om47kI694Xg-00047-00013547-00013888 then maybe a question from here sorry I Om47kI694Xg-00048-00013890-00014135 feel like that that may be intended for Om47kI694Xg-00049-00014136-00014369 the to framework because like people Om47kI694Xg-00050-00014369-00014561 oftentimes want to compare different Om47kI694Xg-00051-00014562-00014807 like uh tables like using the same Om47kI694Xg-00052-00014808-00015011 filter if they're looking for a specific Om47kI694Xg-00053-00015012-00015227 step of relation I think when they Om47kI694Xg-00054-00015228-00015449 Design This framework like like before Om47kI694Xg-00055-00015450-00015671 like basically there is a filter at Om47kI694Xg-00056-00015672-00015911 every table and then basically if you Om47kI694Xg-00057-00015912-00016025 want to look at the same parts that Om47kI694Xg-00058-00016026-00016193 population then like you don't need to Om47kI694Xg-00059-00016194-00016505 do the click through like right but yeah Om47kI694Xg-00060-00016506-00016691 I think in this case like if we don't Om47kI694Xg-00061-00016692-00016955 have the the filter for the tables I Om47kI694Xg-00062-00016956-00017153 agree I feel like this Behavior doesn't Om47kI694Xg-00063-00017154-00017399 really make sense yeah yeah I'll have to Om47kI694Xg-00064-00017400-00017561 see if there's an easy way to turn that Om47kI694Xg-00065-00017562-00017789 off for the other tables because I agree Om47kI694Xg-00066-00017790-00017957 ning that's definitely the default that Om47kI694Xg-00067-00017958-00018203 I've seen in my experimentation so I Om47kI694Xg-00068-00018204-00018419 have to consult the the docs so to speak Om47kI694Xg-00069-00018420-00018625 for two and so Om47kI694Xg-00070-00018626-00018893 let's take a step back Om47kI694Xg-00071-00018894-00018985 um Om47kI694Xg-00072-00018986-00019289 we disabled the interactive plots for Om47kI694Xg-00073-00019290-00019535 almost everything as a kind of special Om47kI694Xg-00074-00019536-00019799 request right Om47kI694Xg-00075-00019800-00020255 or for this pilot but Om47kI694Xg-00076-00020256-00020729 um hey Sue for if we were if if you were Om47kI694Xg-00077-00020730-00020975 to have everything enabled would you Om47kI694Xg-00078-00020976-00021263 would you um think there's a feature is Om47kI694Xg-00079-00021264-00021533 it ning just um elaborated on makes Om47kI694Xg-00080-00021534-00021707 sense is that the way you would want Om47kI694Xg-00081-00021708-00021964 things to go Om47kI694Xg-00082-00021965-00022343 maybe Paul can I'm in but Om47kI694Xg-00083-00022344-00022427 um Om47kI694Xg-00084-00022428-00022708 like as Paul mentioned we don't want to Om47kI694Xg-00085-00022709-00023050 endorse like subgroup analysis and Om47kI694Xg-00086-00023051-00023333 p-value are changing depending on the Om47kI694Xg-00087-00023334-00023422 um Om47kI694Xg-00088-00023423-00023569 like Om47kI694Xg-00089-00023570-00023950 filtering things like that so Om47kI694Xg-00090-00023951-00024299 all do you have any more comments that Om47kI694Xg-00091-00024300-00024508 we Om47kI694Xg-00092-00024509-00024772 um teal as was pointed out at the RN Om47kI694Xg-00093-00024773-00025007 Pharma conference has some caveats Om47kI694Xg-00094-00025008-00025319 associated with it Om47kI694Xg-00095-00025320-00025399 um Om47kI694Xg-00096-00025400-00025558 and Om47kI694Xg-00097-00025559-00025799 we do need to be careful of subgroup Om47kI694Xg-00098-00025800-00026027 analyzes Om47kI694Xg-00099-00026027-00026327 um I think we touched on that Om47kI694Xg-00100-00026327-00026681 uh previously we have no issue with Om47kI694Xg-00101-00026682-00026968 pre-specified but Om47kI694Xg-00102-00026969-00027414 um we do have concerns about Om47kI694Xg-00103-00027416-00027874 exploratory analyzes suddenly being Om47kI694Xg-00104-00027875-00028174 um thought of as significant in some Om47kI694Xg-00105-00028175-00028402 sense Om47kI694Xg-00106-00028404-00028996 foreign maybe to follow a question so if Om47kI694Xg-00107-00028997-00029189 that's like we in the future if we have Om47kI694Xg-00108-00029189-00029437 a shiny app where we only specific Om47kI694Xg-00109-00029438-00029646 pre-specified we only deliver Om47kI694Xg-00110-00029647-00029873 pre-specified analysis and there are Om47kI694Xg-00111-00029874-00030107 maybe two graphs and then there is a Om47kI694Xg-00112-00030108-00030274 filter on the right hand side you can Om47kI694Xg-00113-00030275-00030527 choose ITT or a pre-device of your Om47kI694Xg-00114-00030527-00030845 population then if in that scenario like Om47kI694Xg-00115-00030845-00031090 would you prefer to have the filtering Om47kI694Xg-00116-00031091-00031402 like adherent across different types or Om47kI694Xg-00117-00031404-00031618 you would prefer to do the click through Om47kI694Xg-00118-00031619-00032045 from pack to tab Om47kI694Xg-00119-00032045-00032189 um Om47kI694Xg-00120-00032189-00032435 it's hard to say Om47kI694Xg-00121-00032436-00032705 um part of it is you know we I guess we Om47kI694Xg-00122-00032706-00032951 need to distinguish between exploratory Om47kI694Xg-00123-00032952-00033185 analyzes Om47kI694Xg-00124-00033186-00033461 and Om47kI694Xg-00125-00033462-00033779 um ones that are used for inferential Om47kI694Xg-00126-00033780-00034085 statistics Om47kI694Xg-00127-00034086-00034451 um the problem with exploratory analyzes Om47kI694Xg-00128-00034452-00034865 that produce a p-value is Om47kI694Xg-00129-00034866-00035123 there's an inherent crossing of the line Om47kI694Xg-00130-00035124-00035417 between exploratory and inferential Om47kI694Xg-00131-00035418-00035665 under those cases Om47kI694Xg-00132-00035666-00036089 and that's the real concern Om47kI694Xg-00133-00036090-00036445 um and there have been Om47kI694Xg-00134-00036446-00036965 controversies in the recent past Om47kI694Xg-00135-00036966-00037277 um that boiled down to Om47kI694Xg-00136-00037278-00037727 um focusing on one subgroup in one study Om47kI694Xg-00137-00037728-00038418 as evidence for approval Om47kI694Xg-00138-00038419-00038587 so Om47kI694Xg-00139-00038588-00038885 our concern is Om47kI694Xg-00140-00038886-00039240 um Om47kI694Xg-00141-00039241-00039599 distinguishing between exploring data Om47kI694Xg-00142-00039600-00040061 and using it for an a dis inferential Om47kI694Xg-00143-00040062-00040573 decision making Om47kI694Xg-00144-00040574-00040993 well Paul if I hear you correctly Om47kI694Xg-00145-00040994-00041152 then Om47kI694Xg-00146-00041153-00041465 are you saying that you would never want Om47kI694Xg-00147-00041466-00041759 an exploratory capability in something Om47kI694Xg-00148-00041760-00042029 that goes through as a submission Om47kI694Xg-00149-00042030-00042202 no Om47kI694Xg-00150-00042203-00042593 I'm saying I I want nothing Om47kI694Xg-00151-00042594-00042677 um Om47kI694Xg-00152-00042678-00042905 big interactive exploratory that Om47kI694Xg-00153-00042906-00043945 produces a p-value Om47kI694Xg-00154-00043946-00044393 so if we hid all the p-values would that Om47kI694Xg-00155-00044394-00044645 work we can add all these graphs and no Om47kI694Xg-00156-00044646-00045011 P values Om47kI694Xg-00157-00045012-00045221 that was our initial Om47kI694Xg-00158-00045222-00045457 um Om47kI694Xg-00159-00045458-00046240 response our management wanted static Om47kI694Xg-00160-00046241-00046589 Stills and all right so I I see you're Om47kI694Xg-00161-00046590-00046739 fighting for Om47kI694Xg-00162-00046740-00046817 um Om47kI694Xg-00163-00046818-00047071 some wiggle room here Om47kI694Xg-00164-00047072-00047380 but you know I think we could just not Om47kI694Xg-00165-00047381-00047608 produce p-values Om47kI694Xg-00166-00047609-00047867 um anywhere and then could we have all Om47kI694Xg-00167-00047868-00048245 the plots Interactive Om47kI694Xg-00168-00048246-00048371 can I Om47kI694Xg-00169-00048372-00048527 well before you answer that can I just Om47kI694Xg-00170-00048528-00048785 add one thing to Joe's comment there Om47kI694Xg-00171-00048786-00049024 does that mean that we also shouldn't Om47kI694Xg-00172-00049025-00049108 have Om47kI694Xg-00173-00049109-00049368 confidence intervals Om47kI694Xg-00174-00049369-00049637 effectively it's the same information Om47kI694Xg-00175-00049638-00049889 in one way or another it's not Om47kI694Xg-00176-00049890-00050207 emotionally charged the same way that's Om47kI694Xg-00177-00050208-00050686 true yeah I I'd say Om47kI694Xg-00178-00050687-00050999 um there should be caveats listed Om47kI694Xg-00179-00051000-00051118 uh Om47kI694Xg-00180-00051119-00051473 um you know here we have the bar Om47kI694Xg-00181-00051474-00051852 you know all this is exploratory right Om47kI694Xg-00182-00051853-00052126 I mean Om47kI694Xg-00183-00052127-00052499 yeah see so Om47kI694Xg-00184-00052500-00053015 um I think everything has to be viewed Om47kI694Xg-00185-00053016-00053579 um as exploratory from that perspective Om47kI694Xg-00186-00053579-00053663 um Om47kI694Xg-00187-00053664-00053957 you know a confidence interval as Joe Om47kI694Xg-00188-00053958-00054226 was saying does not have the same you Om47kI694Xg-00189-00054227-00054466 know essentially we're not doing a Om47kI694Xg-00190-00054467-00054744 bonferoni or a home hochberg either on Om47kI694Xg-00191-00054745-00055103 p-values or confidence intervals right Om47kI694Xg-00192-00055104-00055588 but if we were to you know do this for Om47kI694Xg-00193-00055589-00055985 an actual inferential process we would Om47kI694Xg-00194-00055986-00056116 want Om47kI694Xg-00195-00056117-00056963 such a thing to be considered Om47kI694Xg-00196-00056964-00057353 well maybe another question like uh Om47kI694Xg-00197-00057354-00057580 imagine that if it's pre-specified then Om47kI694Xg-00198-00057582-00057869 it is okay so I'm I'm thinking in the Om47kI694Xg-00199-00057870-00058079 scenario if like we have ITT and Om47kI694Xg-00200-00058079-00058349 subpopulation as co-primary endpoint or Om47kI694Xg-00201-00058350-00058666 kind of like primary and secondary M4 in Om47kI694Xg-00202-00058667-00058888 that case set population analysis is Om47kI694Xg-00203-00058889-00059171 kind of like a reasonable right but like Om47kI694Xg-00204-00059172-00059429 for any undefined self-published Om47kI694Xg-00205-00059429-00059603 subpopulation analysis that's Om47kI694Xg-00206-00059604-00059992 questionable correct so there are Om47kI694Xg-00207-00059994-00060461 defined subpopulation analyzes based on Om47kI694Xg-00208-00060462-00060923 um age sex ethnicity race Om47kI694Xg-00209-00060924-00061138 um so there's some demographic ones that Om47kI694Xg-00210-00061139-00061330 are pretty much Om47kI694Xg-00211-00061332-00061726 required by law Om47kI694Xg-00212-00061727-00062003 um you'll notice in many cases they Om47kI694Xg-00213-00062004-00062315 might do even confidence intervals but Om47kI694Xg-00214-00062316-00062771 they won't produce p values and Om47kI694Xg-00215-00062772-00063149 um what we see as part of a submission Om47kI694Xg-00216-00063150-00063311 yeah Om47kI694Xg-00217-00063312-00063916 um the issue is that trying to say we'll Om47kI694Xg-00218-00063917-00064235 do a subgroup analysis Om47kI694Xg-00219-00064236-00064565 um essentially it's Om47kI694Xg-00220-00064566-00064966 can be a form of P hacking Om47kI694Xg-00221-00064967-00065230 um and there's a great deal of Om47kI694Xg-00222-00065232-00065497 sensitivity to that Om47kI694Xg-00223-00065498-00065881 within our group currently yeah Om47kI694Xg-00224-00065882-00066263 so I guess to move forward like my take Om47kI694Xg-00225-00066264-00066538 is that like for this particular like a Om47kI694Xg-00226-00066539-00066779 submission I think that like a like a Om47kI694Xg-00227-00066780-00067025 like if Eric can figure out like how to Om47kI694Xg-00228-00067026-00067235 like uh break the dependencies between Om47kI694Xg-00229-00067236-00067432 different tasks I think like it should Om47kI694Xg-00230-00067433-00067667 be good for us but for the future if we Om47kI694Xg-00231-00067668-00067853 want to further explore like the Om47kI694Xg-00232-00067854-00068159 usability of interactive tools then you Om47kI694Xg-00233-00068160-00068344 will be safe or you will bring less Om47kI694Xg-00234-00068345-00068632 controversial if we like uh limit it Om47kI694Xg-00235-00068633-00068903 into pre-specified like sub-population Om47kI694Xg-00236-00068904-00069059 analysis if we want to have some Om47kI694Xg-00237-00069060-00069359 interactivities over there it depends on Om47kI694Xg-00238-00069360-00069791 how you bundle it Om47kI694Xg-00239-00069792-00070331 um Om47kI694Xg-00240-00070332-00070649 so I I'm thinking of the Om47kI694Xg-00241-00070650-00070823 um Om47kI694Xg-00242-00070824-00071135 lying from Spider-Man with great power Om47kI694Xg-00243-00071136-00071693 comes great responsibility Om47kI694Xg-00244-00071694-00071987 um and that's a concern Om47kI694Xg-00245-00071988-00072305 you know when we have powerful tools we Om47kI694Xg-00246-00072306-00072629 have to Om47kI694Xg-00247-00072630-00072850 Endeavor to ensure that they're used Om47kI694Xg-00248-00072851-00073147 appropriately Om47kI694Xg-00249-00073148-00073399 nope okay Om47kI694Xg-00250-00073400-00073750 I'm gone I don't think so Om47kI694Xg-00251-00073751-00073991 um looking at this sort of exploration Om47kI694Xg-00252-00073992-00074261 analysis I don't consider any Subway Om47kI694Xg-00253-00074262-00074549 pronounces by age race thing and all Om47kI694Xg-00254-00074550-00074741 those have been specified Om47kI694Xg-00255-00074742-00075076 in the sap as being exploratory they Om47kI694Xg-00256-00075077-00075256 were looking beyond that so they are in Om47kI694Xg-00257-00075257-00075479 the set I guess it's less concerned Om47kI694Xg-00258-00075480-00075731 about producing confidence intervals or Om47kI694Xg-00259-00075732-00075994 perhaps even P values if you say Paul Om47kI694Xg-00260-00075995-00076229 often they're not presented Om47kI694Xg-00261-00076230-00076444 um with those separate analysis Om47kI694Xg-00262-00076445-00076600 but the issue here is that if you go Om47kI694Xg-00263-00076601-00076925 beyond what the sep States Om47kI694Xg-00264-00076926-00077182 them isn't that what this application Om47kI694Xg-00265-00077183-00077449 should be dealing with Om47kI694Xg-00266-00077450-00077806 for one one principle is now we'll Om47kI694Xg-00267-00077807-00077993 change that so say that you don't end up Om47kI694Xg-00268-00077994-00078149 with conflicting results or different Om47kI694Xg-00269-00078150-00078412 results from what you submit in the main Om47kI694Xg-00270-00078413-00078643 dossier Om47kI694Xg-00271-00078644-00079019 I'm not sure I entirely parsed what you Om47kI694Xg-00272-00079020-00079397 were saying so you're proposing if I Om47kI694Xg-00273-00079398-00079799 understand you correctly to Om47kI694Xg-00274-00079800-00080287 say that if it's done on the basis of Om47kI694Xg-00275-00080288-00080549 demographic information Om47kI694Xg-00276-00080550-00080788 that should be okay Om47kI694Xg-00277-00080789-00080950 but Om47kI694Xg-00278-00080951-00081238 um Om47kI694Xg-00279-00081239-00081599 if it's done on the basis of Om47kI694Xg-00280-00081600-00081875 other information Om47kI694Xg-00281-00081876-00082085 that might not Om47kI694Xg-00282-00082086-00082331 that would be a different sort of issue Om47kI694Xg-00283-00082332-00082493 that would have to be discussed and Om47kI694Xg-00284-00082494-00082638 resolved Om47kI694Xg-00285-00082639-00083003 I think I'm going to think about Om47kI694Xg-00286-00083004-00083321 um the demographic analysis is part of Om47kI694Xg-00287-00083322-00083567 the steps and my distinction is has it Om47kI694Xg-00288-00083568-00083855 been has it been pre-specified in the Om47kI694Xg-00289-00083856-00084071 set perhaps approach core as well Om47kI694Xg-00290-00084072-00084335 or not if it hasn't then for me that Om47kI694Xg-00291-00084336-00084611 sort of branches out into exploratory Om47kI694Xg-00292-00084612-00084923 okay what's not being specified I'm Om47kI694Xg-00293-00084924-00085126 assuming is what we intend this Om47kI694Xg-00294-00085127-00085421 application to deal with Om47kI694Xg-00295-00085422-00085685 um Om47kI694Xg-00296-00085686-00086044 not entirely sure I think Om47kI694Xg-00297-00086045-00086338 you know if it's pre-specified in the Om47kI694Xg-00298-00086339-00086609 statistical analysis plant Om47kI694Xg-00299-00086610-00086747 um Om47kI694Xg-00300-00086748-00086999 we have no objections or at least I have Om47kI694Xg-00301-00087000-00087382 no objections but Om47kI694Xg-00302-00087383-00087605 um on a positive note Eric we have Om47kI694Xg-00303-00087606-00087875 already fixed the problem Om47kI694Xg-00304-00087876-00088061 so Om47kI694Xg-00305-00088062-00088294 um my suggestion is Om47kI694Xg-00306-00088295-00088631 um if that's the case to do we can Om47kI694Xg-00307-00088632-00088900 declare Victory and move on Om47kI694Xg-00308-00088901-00089075 um yeah it turned out there was an extra Om47kI694Xg-00309-00089076-00089362 parameter that I had not changed from Om47kI694Xg-00310-00089363-00089585 the default in the rest of the modules Om47kI694Xg-00311-00089586-00089873 that I'm running through my battery a Om47kI694Xg-00312-00089874-00090143 test now but it seems to solved it so um Om47kI694Xg-00313-00090144-00090406 yeah at least for this case we can we Om47kI694Xg-00314-00090407-00090623 have a path forward but I think the Om47kI694Xg-00315-00090624-00090737 discussion has certainly been Om47kI694Xg-00316-00090738-00090887 enlightening for the future because I Om47kI694Xg-00317-00090888-00091156 think this this particular topic is Om47kI694Xg-00318-00091157-00091387 arguably one of the Om47kI694Xg-00319-00091388-00091673 largest I should say one of the most Om47kI694Xg-00320-00091674-00091823 important things we should think about Om47kI694Xg-00321-00091824-00092029 going forward for the feasibility of Om47kI694Xg-00322-00092030-00092267 interactive applications in general ever Om47kI694Xg-00323-00092268-00092476 shiny or not and how they fit into a Om47kI694Xg-00324-00092477-00092717 submission process so I think it's good Om47kI694Xg-00325-00092718-00092855 we're going through it I'm just yeah Om47kI694Xg-00326-00092856-00093088 luckily the solution wasn't quite as Om47kI694Xg-00327-00093089-00093215 difficult as I thought it was going to Om47kI694Xg-00328-00093216-00093276 be Om47kI694Xg-00329-00093277-00093497 yes so Om47kI694Xg-00330-00093498-00093862 um if we can go forward with that Om47kI694Xg-00331-00093863-00094367 um I would prefer if possible to defer Om47kI694Xg-00332-00094368-00094817 um a complete resolution Om47kI694Xg-00333-00094818-00094956 um Om47kI694Xg-00334-00094957-00095447 of the broader issue uh what should be Om47kI694Xg-00335-00095448-00095662 interactive and what shouldn't Om47kI694Xg-00336-00095663-00095962 um my feeling is that anytime we do Om47kI694Xg-00337-00095963-00096167 inferential statistics it needs to be Om47kI694Xg-00338-00096168-00096455 pre-specified Om47kI694Xg-00339-00096456-00096665 well let me poke at this a little bit Om47kI694Xg-00340-00096666-00096875 because I think we're we're what we're Om47kI694Xg-00341-00096876-00097168 bumping up against are the internal Om47kI694Xg-00342-00097169-00097450 procedures of the FDA Om47kI694Xg-00343-00097451-00097715 so for example Om47kI694Xg-00344-00097716-00098123 if we did not submit a shiny app Om47kI694Xg-00345-00098124-00098617 but your analysts happen to have shiny Om47kI694Xg-00346-00098618-00098981 on the workstation than than anybody Om47kI694Xg-00347-00098982-00099256 could load it in and do inferential Om47kI694Xg-00348-00099257-00099418 analysis Om47kI694Xg-00349-00099419-00099731 you know independent of of the Om47kI694Xg-00350-00099732-00099971 convenience say of us submitting the Om47kI694Xg-00351-00099972-00100300 shiny you know having the app in the Om47kI694Xg-00352-00100301-00100403 submission Om47kI694Xg-00353-00100404-00100732 so it seems to me you're saying that Om47kI694Xg-00354-00100733-00100997 um you know these intentions are whether Om47kI694Xg-00355-00100998-00101135 you're going to do an inferential Om47kI694Xg-00356-00101136-00101512 analysis or exploratory is part of the Om47kI694Xg-00357-00101513-00101759 intention of the analyst Om47kI694Xg-00358-00101760-00102059 and it seems to me you're saying these Om47kI694Xg-00359-00102060-00102299 and when you have one intention and when Om47kI694Xg-00360-00102300-00102508 you have another intention are somewhat Om47kI694Xg-00361-00102509-00102851 codified within the FDA Om47kI694Xg-00362-00102852-00103258 um I would even defer to the ASA Om47kI694Xg-00363-00103259-00103603 statement on or special edition Om47kI694Xg-00364-00103604-00104218 of the American statistician on p-values Om47kI694Xg-00365-00104219-00104599 um I mean there's extensive discussion Om47kI694Xg-00366-00104600-00105010 of various circumstances Om47kI694Xg-00367-00105011-00105097 um Om47kI694Xg-00368-00105098-00105610 what we don't want to somehow seen as Om47kI694Xg-00369-00105611-00106066 endorsing is a common prac semi-common Om47kI694Xg-00370-00106067-00106313 practice in certain groups of quote Om47kI694Xg-00371-00106314-00106654 unquote rescuing AIDS Om47kI694Xg-00372-00106655-00106933 I would again use the word air quotes Om47kI694Xg-00373-00106933-00107333 failed clinical trial by torturing the Om47kI694Xg-00374-00107333-00107615 poor data yeah Om47kI694Xg-00375-00107616-00108016 um so we want to avoid that issue Om47kI694Xg-00376-00108017-00108184 altogether Om47kI694Xg-00377-00108185-00108533 um to some extent one sees one can see Om47kI694Xg-00378-00108533-00109025 that even now with tools such as jump Om47kI694Xg-00379-00109026-00109258 um that clinicians and others can use Om47kI694Xg-00380-00109259-00109577 that are interactive but Om47kI694Xg-00381-00109578-00109954 do not produce a fully open and Om47kI694Xg-00382-00109955-00110143 transparent Om47kI694Xg-00383-00110144-00110669 analysis Trail Om47kI694Xg-00384-00110670-00111047 um in when I was a reviewer and I had to Om47kI694Xg-00385-00111048-00111340 deal with clinicians who said I have Om47kI694Xg-00386-00111341-00111719 this result in jump and I said well okay Om47kI694Xg-00387-00111720-00111973 you know did you enable some sort of Om47kI694Xg-00388-00111974-00112415 diary or ability to Om47kI694Xg-00389-00112416-00112499 um Om47kI694Xg-00390-00112500-00112757 replicate your results usually the Om47kI694Xg-00391-00112758-00112883 answer is no Om47kI694Xg-00392-00112883-00113069 and then we have to say you're planning Om47kI694Xg-00393-00113070-00113273 to submit this to the Journal of Erie Om47kI694Xg-00394-00113274-00113716 producible results right Om47kI694Xg-00395-00113717-00113819 um Om47kI694Xg-00396-00113820-00114078 so that's the problem Om47kI694Xg-00397-00114079-00114443 with any interactive tool Om47kI694Xg-00398-00114444-00114628 um we want it to be open we want it to Om47kI694Xg-00399-00114629-00115108 be transparent and we want it to be Om47kI694Xg-00400-00115109-00115390 reproducible Om47kI694Xg-00401-00115391-00115793 um beyond that we also want the tool Om47kI694Xg-00402-00115794-00116086 interactive tools that we use to be Om47kI694Xg-00403-00116088-00116416 consistent with good Om47kI694Xg-00404-00116417-00116947 um statistical practices Om47kI694Xg-00405-00116948-00117358 and I would argue that an interactive Om47kI694Xg-00406-00117359-00117749 tool that produces p-values on demand Om47kI694Xg-00407-00117750-00118157 is not consistent with the ASA statement Om47kI694Xg-00408-00118158-00118828 regarding p-values Om47kI694Xg-00409-00118829-00119086 I mean there are some diversion opinions Om47kI694Xg-00410-00119088-00119434 to that as well but yeah let's hold that Om47kI694Xg-00411-00119435-00119615 thought again so Om47kI694Xg-00412-00119616-00119716 um Om47kI694Xg-00413-00119717-00120065 so what you're saying Paul first off is Om47kI694Xg-00414-00120066-00120347 that the ASA is pretty good foundation Om47kI694Xg-00415-00120348-00120736 for us to reason about Om47kI694Xg-00416-00120738-00120947 um what might be Om47kI694Xg-00417-00120948-00121216 consistent with FDA practices so that's Om47kI694Xg-00418-00121217-00121477 a that's a good foundation to start with Om47kI694Xg-00419-00121478-00121769 enjoy that yes yes Om47kI694Xg-00420-00121770-00122039 um considering that Om47kI694Xg-00421-00122040-00122339 our office's deputy director is the Om47kI694Xg-00422-00122340-00122669 current ASA president Om47kI694Xg-00423-00122670-00123058 um and a past president has been Om47kI694Xg-00424-00123059-00123373 uh listen who Om47kI694Xg-00425-00123374-00123749 was my supervisor at one stage Om47kI694Xg-00426-00123750-00124019 and I think it was under her uh tenure Om47kI694Xg-00427-00124020-00124145 that the Om47kI694Xg-00428-00124146-00124463 statement on p-values came out and there Om47kI694Xg-00429-00124464-00124721 there's not a there's there's room for Om47kI694Xg-00430-00124722-00125063 discussion and interpretation within Om47kI694Xg-00431-00125064-00125278 that but Om47kI694Xg-00432-00125279-00125608 um one of the issues that that attempts Om47kI694Xg-00433-00125609-00125819 to partially address is the so-called Om47kI694Xg-00434-00125820-00126358 crisis of reproducible research Om47kI694Xg-00435-00126359-00126616 um most no Om47kI694Xg-00436-00126617-00126851 there have been various papers that have Om47kI694Xg-00437-00126852-00127133 said some proportion of published Om47kI694Xg-00438-00127133-00127421 research is essentially irreproducible Om47kI694Xg-00439-00127422-00127769 yes it is an industry problem let me Om47kI694Xg-00440-00127770-00127943 explore a little bit more Om47kI694Xg-00441-00127944-00128260 um suppose though didn't this um Om47kI694Xg-00442-00128261-00128590 like a fantasy here but suppose that Om47kI694Xg-00443-00128591-00128860 every time you went through a pass Om47kI694Xg-00444-00128861-00129202 of exploratory analysis in shiny it Om47kI694Xg-00445-00129203-00129407 generated code Om47kI694Xg-00446-00129408-00129781 to reproduce that now theoretically Om47kI694Xg-00447-00129782-00130097 that would be you know you would have Om47kI694Xg-00448-00130098-00130343 these reproducible paths it would be Om47kI694Xg-00449-00130344-00130601 maybe impossible to use Om47kI694Xg-00450-00130602-00130757 um Om47kI694Xg-00451-00130758-00131039 you would have that ability isn't that Om47kI694Xg-00452-00131040-00131339 baked into uh Om47kI694Xg-00453-00131340-00131614 uh Joe Chang's Om47kI694Xg-00454-00131615-00131833 um our Om47kI694Xg-00455-00131834-00132233 shiny shiny meta yeah right we've been Om47kI694Xg-00456-00132234-00132511 thinking about that a lot in our company Om47kI694Xg-00457-00132512-00132833 our you may recall Om47kI694Xg-00458-00132834-00133102 um when we were discussing this earlier Om47kI694Xg-00459-00133103-00133385 um I actually Om47kI694Xg-00460-00133386-00133609 um Om47kI694Xg-00461-00133610-00133978 suggested that as a potential Om47kI694Xg-00462-00133979-00134759 approach that ideally could be utilized Om47kI694Xg-00463-00134760-00134975 would you say we should explore that in Om47kI694Xg-00464-00134976-00135209 the future piotas incorporating shiny I Om47kI694Xg-00465-00135210-00135454 think that would be a great idea but Om47kI694Xg-00466-00135455-00135604 that's me Om47kI694Xg-00467-00135605-00135839 I mean that that is an opinion for of Om47kI694Xg-00468-00135840-00136085 Paul not the voice of FDA right right Om47kI694Xg-00469-00136086-00136354 well I think we all can agree being able Om47kI694Xg-00470-00136355-00136631 to take what an Insight that either a Om47kI694Xg-00471-00136632-00136840 reviewer or even frankly for those of us Om47kI694Xg-00472-00136841-00137081 on the sponsor side generate with a Om47kI694Xg-00473-00137082-00137237 powerful tool like this and be able to Om47kI694Xg-00474-00137238-00137525 get a reproducible script uh run that Om47kI694Xg-00475-00137526-00137795 that same interaction but in code I Om47kI694Xg-00476-00137796-00137939 think we all agree that's hugely Om47kI694Xg-00477-00137940-00138149 important like I would definitely Om47kI694Xg-00478-00138150-00138281 encourage that Om47kI694Xg-00479-00138282-00138587 I I would hope that every tool has such Om47kI694Xg-00480-00138588-00138964 a capacity me too now I will say and I Om47kI694Xg-00481-00138965-00139061 don't want to get off in too much Om47kI694Xg-00482-00139062-00139211 tangents I'm sure we have a lot more to Om47kI694Xg-00483-00139212-00139493 talk about but shiny meta Om47kI694Xg-00484-00139494-00139769 is the most promising part in this space Om47kI694Xg-00485-00139770-00139973 but it's also one of the more difficult Om47kI694Xg-00486-00139974-00140237 from a developer perspective to kind of Om47kI694Xg-00487-00140238-00140489 shift and existing existing app to use Om47kI694Xg-00488-00140490-00140740 it I'm hopeful it gets easier to use but Om47kI694Xg-00489-00140741-00140890 I've definitely been talking to the Om47kI694Xg-00490-00140891-00141125 shiny team about its potential and maybe Om47kI694Xg-00491-00141126-00141473 hopefully uh improving it Om47kI694Xg-00492-00141474-00141659 I Om47kI694Xg-00493-00141660-00141851 there's kind of Om47kI694Xg-00494-00141852-00142169 um and we're dealing with this on our Om47kI694Xg-00495-00142170-00142439 internal groups Om47kI694Xg-00496-00142440-00142954 um It's relatively easy to design a pro Om47kI694Xg-00497-00142955-00143352 prototype shiny Om47kI694Xg-00498-00143353-00143801 tap for for many purposes I mean that Om47kI694Xg-00499-00143802-00144323 yes even basic ones can involve a little Om47kI694Xg-00500-00144324-00144443 bit of Om47kI694Xg-00501-00144444-00144533 um Om47kI694Xg-00502-00144534-00144778 shall we say Anglo-Saxon terminology Om47kI694Xg-00503-00144779-00145104 during the coding phase Om47kI694Xg-00504-00145105-00145390 but I think one of the key things is Om47kI694Xg-00505-00145391-00145816 that shiny makes it a lot easier and has Om47kI694Xg-00506-00145817-00146051 um more accessible to a much broader Om47kI694Xg-00507-00146052-00146345 groups to develop apps and dashboards Om47kI694Xg-00508-00146346-00146578 and the like Om47kI694Xg-00509-00146579-00146921 um moving into production I think is a Om47kI694Xg-00510-00146922-00147287 greater challenge absolutely and having Om47kI694Xg-00511-00147288-00147683 something that is going from prototype Om47kI694Xg-00512-00147684-00147887 to production Om47kI694Xg-00513-00147888-00147964 um Om47kI694Xg-00514-00147965-00148157 I think there's even a book out there on Om47kI694Xg-00515-00148158-00148235 that Om47kI694Xg-00516-00148236-00148469 yeah Om47kI694Xg-00517-00148470-00148716 our workshops as well perhaps yes yes Om47kI694Xg-00518-00148717-00149009 workshops and books and you know that's Om47kI694Xg-00519-00149010-00149411 that's a major issue and in some ways Om47kI694Xg-00520-00149412-00149578 um Om47kI694Xg-00521-00149579-00149873 part of that reactive programming and Om47kI694Xg-00522-00149874-00150347 all of that is I see that as part Om47kI694Xg-00523-00150348-00150587 correct me if I'm wrong Eric you're much Om47kI694Xg-00524-00150588-00150851 more knowledgeable than I am but Om47kI694Xg-00525-00150852-00151259 um I see that as part of the entire one Om47kI694Xg-00526-00151260-00151469 entire challenge Om47kI694Xg-00527-00151470-00151751 oh yeah I'm full agreement of that Om47kI694Xg-00528-00151752-00152051 um and there's a lot I can say about Om47kI694Xg-00529-00152052-00152225 that space But yeah there are definitely Om47kI694Xg-00530-00152226-00152459 some venues I hope to spread my opinions Om47kI694Xg-00531-00152460-00152723 across as and go forward this year yep Om47kI694Xg-00532-00152724-00152873 so Om47kI694Xg-00533-00152874-00153259 um yeah so I I would argue that Om47kI694Xg-00534-00153260-00153659 particularly for various analyzes if Om47kI694Xg-00535-00153660-00154069 they will be potentially used for Om47kI694Xg-00536-00154070-00154745 regulatory decision making it would be Om47kI694Xg-00537-00154746-00155231 I would say Central that have some sort Om47kI694Xg-00538-00155232-00155837 of openness and transparency capability Om47kI694Xg-00539-00155838-00156114 a shiny meta is definitely One path Om47kI694Xg-00540-00156115-00156485 there could be others yeah and uh thanks Om47kI694Xg-00541-00156486-00156676 to Sam in the chat for I think Om47kI694Xg-00542-00156677-00156923 referencing when a Teal's potential Om47kI694Xg-00543-00156924-00157102 solutions to this so I'm not familiar Om47kI694Xg-00544-00157103-00157373 with qn for however you'd like to Om47kI694Xg-00545-00157374-00157528 pronounce this I'd like to learn more Om47kI694Xg-00546-00157529-00157739 about that I don't know if ninger offers Om47kI694Xg-00547-00157740-00158333 could share I feel like there have been Om47kI694Xg-00548-00158334-00158537 the latest release maybe we can like Om47kI694Xg-00549-00158538-00158699 take a look after I think directly yeah Om47kI694Xg-00550-00158700-00159040 okay all right we're running out of time Om47kI694Xg-00551-00159041-00159437 so Jesu um yeah we can we can move on to Om47kI694Xg-00552-00159438-00159569 the yeah Om47kI694Xg-00553-00159570-00159713 next one Om47kI694Xg-00554-00159714-00160007 um and then the Om47kI694Xg-00555-00160008-00160433 warning message so I keep I got I found Om47kI694Xg-00556-00160434-00160726 a constant warning message which is this Om47kI694Xg-00557-00160727-00160840 one Om47kI694Xg-00558-00160841-00161159 um I can still run VR Chinese with this Om47kI694Xg-00559-00161160-00161597 warning message below here of uh we Om47kI694Xg-00560-00161598-00162047 recommend using Tran or more cure Om47kI694Xg-00561-00162048-00162311 curated repository for searching Om47kI694Xg-00562-00162312-00162593 packages rather than like I don't know Om47kI694Xg-00563-00162594-00162826 what this is but yeah I believe that's Om47kI694Xg-00564-00162827-00163085 for Teo specifically Om47kI694Xg-00565-00163086-00163289 um now to defer the Ning I think that Om47kI694Xg-00566-00163290-00163487 was the installation instructions that I Om47kI694Xg-00567-00163488-00163678 use from the GitHub repos to use that Om47kI694Xg-00568-00163679-00164002 specific one for that Om47kI694Xg-00569-00164003-00164321 yeah and I think that team are also sent Om47kI694Xg-00570-00164322-00164585 in in the process of sending the package Om47kI694Xg-00571-00164586-00164764 to Chrome but let me double check yeah Om47kI694Xg-00572-00164765-00164933 if it sounds required in the future it Om47kI694Xg-00573-00164934-00165166 should be easier I think yeah yeah that Om47kI694Xg-00574-00165167-00165389 would be great if it's on there yeah Om47kI694Xg-00575-00165390-00165749 our security folks are starting to make Om47kI694Xg-00576-00165750-00165995 noises that they're going to crack down Om47kI694Xg-00577-00165996-00166187 on Om47kI694Xg-00578-00166188-00166393 packages Om47kI694Xg-00579-00166394-00166864 and we've been arguing that crayon is Om47kI694Xg-00580-00166865-00167273 curated it's gone through the Om47kI694Xg-00581-00167274-00167381 um Om47kI694Xg-00582-00167382-00167669 checks for malware Etc Om47kI694Xg-00583-00167670-00167914 so that we should not Om47kI694Xg-00584-00167915-00168364 be worried about crayon installations Om47kI694Xg-00585-00168365-00168683 um and we can even Om47kI694Xg-00586-00168684-00169031 list an oak ridge site as one of the Om47kI694Xg-00587-00169032-00169361 mirrors for example that Om47kI694Xg-00588-00169362-00169751 we one would want to use Om47kI694Xg-00589-00169752-00170039 um we're not saying cran is the only Om47kI694Xg-00590-00170040-00170273 option since we have other discussions Om47kI694Xg-00591-00170274-00170628 but you know some sort of curated Om47kI694Xg-00592-00170629-00170981 maintained updated Om47kI694Xg-00593-00170982-00171221 um Gary you know at least some guarantee Om47kI694Xg-00594-00171222-00171521 that it's been checked for a malware and Om47kI694Xg-00595-00171522-00171754 other types of things would be Om47kI694Xg-00596-00171755-00171971 appropriate Om47kI694Xg-00597-00171972-00172271 um right we have a the whole um our Om47kI694Xg-00598-00172272-00172607 validation Hub is looking into standing Om47kI694Xg-00599-00172608-00172769 up a repo for Om47kI694Xg-00600-00172770-00172997 precisely doing submissions and this Om47kI694Xg-00601-00172998-00173135 kind of thing Om47kI694Xg-00602-00173136-00173447 so yeah that's part of the reason why we Om47kI694Xg-00603-00173448-00173681 were trying to say come up with the idea Om47kI694Xg-00604-00173682-00174131 of curated yes Om47kI694Xg-00605-00174132-00174461 um Om47kI694Xg-00606-00174462-00174707 so I think if we can Om47kI694Xg-00607-00174708-00175043 include those sorts of dependencies that Om47kI694Xg-00608-00175044-00175289 in the long term that's something that Om47kI694Xg-00609-00175290-00175631 would help us with our security Om47kI694Xg-00610-00175632-00175931 obligations Om47kI694Xg-00611-00175932-00176071 great Om47kI694Xg-00612-00176072-00176387 and next point is uh Om47kI694Xg-00613-00176388-00176766 um so it says her Om47kI694Xg-00614-00176767-00177143 filters can be conflicting I guess so Om47kI694Xg-00615-00177144-00177521 there are two ads two data set ADSL and Om47kI694Xg-00616-00177522-00177947 adtt data set and there are multiple Om47kI694Xg-00617-00177948-00178309 treatment variables like trt 01p Om47kI694Xg-00618-00178310-00178804 tr201a and here or so multiple I mean Om47kI694Xg-00619-00178805-00179188 several different variables and I was Om47kI694Xg-00620-00179189-00179423 just playing around with this filter and Om47kI694Xg-00621-00179424-00179681 like if I Om47kI694Xg-00622-00179682-00180028 is to filter from two different data set Om47kI694Xg-00623-00180029-00180233 and like Om47kI694Xg-00624-00180234-00180563 if I exclude the possible but I can Om47kI694Xg-00625-00180564-00180666 still Om47kI694Xg-00626-00180667-00180959 include Festival here Om47kI694Xg-00627-00180960-00181325 and if I exclude the hide those things Om47kI694Xg-00628-00181326-00181643 like it giving us an error Om47kI694Xg-00629-00181644-00181943 so the user we're gonna know Om47kI694Xg-00630-00181944-00182237 um is giving an error and something was Om47kI694Xg-00631-00182238-00182521 wrong but maybe it might be Om47kI694Xg-00632-00182522-00182875 good to provide Om47kI694Xg-00633-00182876-00183383 like a way to deal with this errors like Om47kI694Xg-00634-00183384-00183545 for example Om47kI694Xg-00635-00183546-00183869 if you exclude a plus table or giving us Om47kI694Xg-00636-00183870-00184138 the an error like Om47kI694Xg-00637-00184139-00184361 it has to be Om47kI694Xg-00638-00184362-00184637 like the treatment filter should be Om47kI694Xg-00639-00184638-00185014 consistent across tables something like Om47kI694Xg-00640-00185015-00185123 that were Om47kI694Xg-00641-00185124-00185375 a warning message instead of just an Om47kI694Xg-00642-00185376-00185602 error message yeah yeah I mean that Om47kI694Xg-00643-00185603-00185788 that's the easier fix from my Om47kI694Xg-00644-00185789-00186095 perspective instead of the cryptic error Om47kI694Xg-00645-00186096-00186347 message that we we say there could be an Om47kI694Xg-00646-00186348-00186575 issue of your applied filters Om47kI694Xg-00647-00186576-00186809 um or something to that effect I'd have Om47kI694Xg-00648-00186810-00187061 to double check within to itself when Om47kI694Xg-00649-00187062-00187313 you have multiple data sets filtered Om47kI694Xg-00650-00187314-00187540 what are the possible linkages between Om47kI694Xg-00651-00187541-00187840 the two if there's any additional help I Om47kI694Xg-00652-00187841-00188104 can I can Surface from that I'm not sure Om47kI694Xg-00653-00188105-00188326 but I will definitely research it Om47kI694Xg-00654-00188327-00188866 yeah or or is there Om47kI694Xg-00655-00188867-00189066 a condition Om47kI694Xg-00656-00189067-00189499 exclude the placebo there is no way to Om47kI694Xg-00657-00189500-00189857 include flexible in other treatment Om47kI694Xg-00658-00189858-00190145 variables something like Om47kI694Xg-00659-00190146-00190247 um Om47kI694Xg-00660-00190248-00190451 something like that yeah I'll have to Om47kI694Xg-00661-00190452-00190666 play with it a bit myself to see but Om47kI694Xg-00662-00190667-00190852 certainly if if ning or others if you Om47kI694Xg-00663-00190853-00191164 know of a solution offhand I'd love to Om47kI694Xg-00664-00191165-00191309 hear it Om47kI694Xg-00665-00191310-00191452 yeah Om47kI694Xg-00666-00191453-00191764 so here these are one of their message Om47kI694Xg-00667-00191765-00191957 when we yeah Om47kI694Xg-00668-00191958-00192209 um two different like conflicting Om47kI694Xg-00669-00192210-00192347 filters Om47kI694Xg-00670-00192348-00192671 so other thing is that um Om47kI694Xg-00671-00192672-00192976 Paul and I talk about maybe providing a Om47kI694Xg-00672-00192977-00193264 readme file might be useful for the user Om47kI694Xg-00673-00193265-00193445 or the reviewer Om47kI694Xg-00674-00193446-00193576 because Om47kI694Xg-00675-00193577-00193793 um like messed up the whole potential Om47kI694Xg-00676-00193794-00194123 error messages like how you Om47kI694Xg-00677-00194124-00194537 like noted here like Om47kI694Xg-00678-00194538-00194914 so there when you run this code you can Om47kI694Xg-00679-00194915-00195149 get the error message but Om47kI694Xg-00680-00195150-00195371 it's not gonna Om47kI694Xg-00681-00195372-00195587 like it's not gonna prevent you from Om47kI694Xg-00682-00195588-00195809 running the ishiness Om47kI694Xg-00683-00195810-00195971 so Om47kI694Xg-00684-00195972-00196361 maybe providing a readme file that shows Om47kI694Xg-00685-00196362-00196588 all the potential error message or all Om47kI694Xg-00686-00196589-00197026 the guidance like what you need to do Om47kI694Xg-00687-00197027-00197171 um to run the Om47kI694Xg-00688-00197172-00197566 uh prop properly would you prefer that Om47kI694Xg-00689-00197567-00197926 being in this existing adrg or like in Om47kI694Xg-00690-00197927-00198119 the app itself we have that you might Om47kI694Xg-00691-00198120-00198401 call welcome our home page before you Om47kI694Xg-00692-00198402-00198628 get to the actual modules would you like Om47kI694Xg-00693-00198629-00198863 something in that or a combination of Om47kI694Xg-00694-00198864-00199114 the two Om47kI694Xg-00695-00199115-00199475 and it doesn't really matter how I Om47kI694Xg-00696-00199476-00199721 present it yeah in some ways it might be Om47kI694Xg-00697-00199722-00199931 good to replicate some of that Om47kI694Xg-00698-00199932-00200164 information in the app Om47kI694Xg-00699-00200165-00200375 just because Om47kI694Xg-00700-00200376-00200663 um access to the adrg Om47kI694Xg-00701-00200664-00200752 um Om47kI694Xg-00702-00200753-00201083 you know having the app be kind of Om47kI694Xg-00703-00201084-00201202 standalone Om47kI694Xg-00704-00201203-00201376 sure Om47kI694Xg-00705-00201377-00201725 um would be ideal Om47kI694Xg-00706-00201726-00201845 um if that Om47kI694Xg-00707-00201846-00202199 is also decided to be replicated in the Om47kI694Xg-00708-00202200-00202402 adrg Om47kI694Xg-00709-00202403-00202637 um I don't think it's we have objections Om47kI694Xg-00710-00202638-00202804 to that Om47kI694Xg-00711-00202805-00203014 okay my initial thinking is they're Om47kI694Xg-00712-00203015-00203225 gonna have a separate tab called usage Om47kI694Xg-00713-00203226-00203459 guide or something to that effect in the Om47kI694Xg-00714-00203460-00203638 app itself and that should hopefully Om47kI694Xg-00715-00203639-00203999 take care of it for the most part okay Om47kI694Xg-00716-00204000-00204366 does that satisfy your concern Jesus Om47kI694Xg-00717-00204367-00204707 yeah yeah okay okay Om47kI694Xg-00718-00204708-00205001 so I think that's all Om47kI694Xg-00719-00205002-00205277 all for Om47kI694Xg-00720-00205278-00205582 so far yeah that's all the issues that I Om47kI694Xg-00721-00205583-00205727 identified Om47kI694Xg-00722-00205728-00205990 other than that oh it seems good but I Om47kI694Xg-00723-00205991-00206146 have to Om47kI694Xg-00724-00206148-00206314 um Om47kI694Xg-00725-00206315-00206669 I have to explore more I guess Om47kI694Xg-00726-00206669-00206938 um so those are the potential issues Om47kI694Xg-00727-00206939-00207244 that be identified Om47kI694Xg-00728-00207246-00207466 thank you okay so maybe one quick Om47kI694Xg-00729-00207467-00207844 question like I think foreign for some Om47kI694Xg-00730-00207846-00208066 of the the point of your immersion I Om47kI694Xg-00731-00208067-00208216 think they're easy to address and for Om47kI694Xg-00732-00208217-00208421 for example for the Quran like for the Om47kI694Xg-00733-00208421-00208642 error message about like a retrieving Om47kI694Xg-00734-00208644-00208919 like a package from GitHub like if we Om47kI694Xg-00735-00208919-00209171 couldn't resolve that like uh in the Om47kI694Xg-00736-00209171-00209482 next month or so it is okay to a pass Om47kI694Xg-00737-00209483-00209698 point just wrap this up but maybe you Om47kI694Xg-00738-00209700-00209969 guys can put a recommendation in your Om47kI694Xg-00739-00209969-00210179 written response just saying that in the Om47kI694Xg-00740-00210180-00210437 future like you recommend like putting Om47kI694Xg-00741-00210438-00210796 package on Chrome or something like that Om47kI694Xg-00742-00210798-00211127 so you may we wrap it off with the own Om47kI694Xg-00743-00211128-00211421 complete like um Om47kI694Xg-00744-00211421-00211698 I'm just thinking that like for the the Om47kI694Xg-00745-00211700-00212051 warning message you mentioned where it Om47kI694Xg-00746-00212052-00212237 cut out that's like we're retrieving Om47kI694Xg-00747-00212238-00212584 packages from GitHub instead of Quran if Om47kI694Xg-00748-00212585-00212848 we couldn't submit yeah yeah quite fast Om47kI694Xg-00749-00212850-00213131 enough then can we just put a maybe you Om47kI694Xg-00750-00213132-00213269 guys can just put the recommendation Om47kI694Xg-00751-00213269-00213592 message in your response instead of us Om47kI694Xg-00752-00213594-00213791 waiting for the current submission right Om47kI694Xg-00753-00213792-00214103 here I think so yeah that makes sense Om47kI694Xg-00754-00214104-00214439 because so error message is just warning Om47kI694Xg-00755-00214440-00214708 message I can still run the our shiny Om47kI694Xg-00756-00214709-00214932 app without any issue so Om47kI694Xg-00757-00214933-00215158 I think so yeah Om47kI694Xg-00758-00215159-00215519 thanks do you think football too I think Om47kI694Xg-00759-00215519-00215651 that's Om47kI694Xg-00760-00215652-00215975 um appropriate for a prototype Om47kI694Xg-00761-00215976-00216184 um Om47kI694Xg-00762-00216185-00216415 if we were in Om47kI694Xg-00763-00216416-00216767 a non-pilot production Om47kI694Xg-00764-00216767-00216941 it might Om47kI694Xg-00765-00216942-00217181 not be Om47kI694Xg-00766-00217182-00217408 um quite as well regarded Om47kI694Xg-00767-00217409-00217619 yeah that makes sense to me Om47kI694Xg-00768-00217619-00217834 um and obviously these piots are Om47kI694Xg-00769-00217835-00218015 Illuminating these kind of issues so Om47kI694Xg-00770-00218016-00218194 hence we're getting a lot of valuable Om47kI694Xg-00771-00218196-00218489 input from seeing this in action from Om47kI694Xg-00772-00218490-00218656 from what you are seeing on your Om47kI694Xg-00773-00218657-00218813 installation side Om47kI694Xg-00774-00218814-00219071 um so the good news is I fixed the major Om47kI694Xg-00775-00219071-00219437 filtering application issue now we'll Om47kI694Xg-00776-00219438-00219634 we'll work on the usage and hopefully Om47kI694Xg-00777-00219635-00219887 making those error messages either Om47kI694Xg-00778-00219888-00220108 hidden or at least of a much more clear Om47kI694Xg-00779-00220109-00220373 explanation on why those are occurring Om47kI694Xg-00780-00220373-00220613 so this has been extremely helpful I Om47kI694Xg-00781-00220614-00220834 will be recommending that Jesus like Om47kI694Xg-00782-00220835-00221146 pause in her evaluation until we fix Om47kI694Xg-00783-00221148-00221525 these things we've identified Om47kI694Xg-00784-00221526-00221746 um what's the Practical next step Om47kI694Xg-00785-00221748-00222221 forward Om47kI694Xg-00786-00222221-00222334 um Om47kI694Xg-00787-00222335-00222575 some of you are frozen Om47kI694Xg-00788-00222576-00222898 no I was thinking um if there were other Om47kI694Xg-00789-00222900-00223132 issues that don't depend on what we just Om47kI694Xg-00790-00223133-00223282 discussed I'd like to hear about them Om47kI694Xg-00791-00223283-00223558 sooner than later I don't think we have Om47kI694Xg-00792-00223559-00223751 to hold up the rest of the evaluation Om47kI694Xg-00793-00223752-00223960 for fixing these okay Om47kI694Xg-00794-00223961-00224273 um that's my opinion Om47kI694Xg-00795-00224273-00224765 what do you think uh Paul hey Sue Om47kI694Xg-00796-00224766-00225106 I think the well if we can get Om47kI694Xg-00797-00225107-00225371 um an updated Om47kI694Xg-00798-00225371-00225646 package and Om47kI694Xg-00799-00225648-00225821 with Om47kI694Xg-00800-00225821-00225910 um Om47kI694Xg-00801-00225911-00226139 those it would certainly be helpful Om47kI694Xg-00802-00226140-00226582 because okay um then we can actually Om47kI694Xg-00803-00226583-00226727 we have to Om47kI694Xg-00804-00226728-00226996 the response Om47kI694Xg-00805-00226998-00227219 um our official response has to go Om47kI694Xg-00806-00227219-00227453 through approval before it can be Om47kI694Xg-00807-00227454-00227819 released okay so if we can get Om47kI694Xg-00808-00227819-00227963 you know like Om47kI694Xg-00809-00227964-00228025 a Om47kI694Xg-00810-00228026-00228371 semi-formalized endpoint there with no Om47kI694Xg-00811-00228371-00228671 this is the the final Om47kI694Xg-00812-00228671-00229091 um app Om47kI694Xg-00813-00229092-00229421 um and then we could write our Om47kI694Xg-00814-00229421-00229655 um response off that particular one Om47kI694Xg-00815-00229656-00229937 that's helpful Om47kI694Xg-00816-00229938-00230242 so that Om47kI694Xg-00817-00230244-00230494 people don't have to review responses Om47kI694Xg-00818-00230496-00230777 multiple times sure yeah it makes Om47kI694Xg-00819-00230778-00230975 complete sense to me so I think we'll Om47kI694Xg-00820-00230976-00231137 have to coordinate much like we did in Om47kI694Xg-00821-00231138-00231473 the first transfer a time when um I Om47kI694Xg-00822-00231473-00231587 can't remember who we were working with Om47kI694Xg-00823-00231588-00231905 on the FDA side for the ectd actual Om47kI694Xg-00824-00231906-00232060 transfer go out to coordinate something Om47kI694Xg-00825-00232061-00232223 like that again so I might need some Om47kI694Xg-00826-00232223-00232475 help with getting that lined up but I'll Om47kI694Xg-00827-00232476-00232613 certainly I have enough information Om47kI694Xg-00828-00232614-00232823 right now to work on everything we Om47kI694Xg-00829-00232823-00233071 talked about today at least Om47kI694Xg-00830-00233071-00233506 we found out the hard way that Om47kI694Xg-00831-00233507-00233710 um Om47kI694Xg-00832-00233711-00234082 basically we have to initiate a poll Om47kI694Xg-00833-00234083-00234305 um from a new submission Om47kI694Xg-00834-00234306-00234598 so basically Om47kI694Xg-00835-00234600-00234781 um with Om47kI694Xg-00836-00234782-00235103 non-prototypes there's once you it comes Om47kI694Xg-00837-00235104-00235325 in it gets populated and it's pushed out Om47kI694Xg-00838-00235326-00235529 to us Om47kI694Xg-00839-00235530-00235619 um Om47kI694Xg-00840-00235619-00235871 with prototypes and the different types Om47kI694Xg-00841-00235871-00236177 of environment we have to say Om47kI694Xg-00842-00236178-00236434 we're interested in this we need to have Om47kI694Xg-00843-00236435-00236675 it pulled in Om47kI694Xg-00844-00236676-00236842 okay Om47kI694Xg-00845-00236844-00237017 is Om47kI694Xg-00846-00237017-00237323 um Om47kI694Xg-00847-00237323-00237551 I think that's the Om47kI694Xg-00848-00237552-00237755 um final Om47kI694Xg-00849-00237756-00238048 resolution we had when um an email Om47kI694Xg-00850-00238050-00238229 exchange Om47kI694Xg-00851-00238230-00238301 um Om47kI694Xg-00852-00238302-00238546 if I recall that correctly is is that Om47kI694Xg-00853-00238548-00238781 mostly correct ASU Om47kI694Xg-00854-00238782-00238877 yeah Om47kI694Xg-00855-00238878-00239117 okay yeah Om47kI694Xg-00856-00239117-00239506 so we're going to do pilot to take two Om47kI694Xg-00857-00239507-00239615 yeah Om47kI694Xg-00858-00239616-00239855 if I recall correctly Pi one also had a Om47kI694Xg-00859-00239856-00240125 similar situation okay that's par for Om47kI694Xg-00860-00240126-00240473 the course then isn't it so it does Om47kI694Xg-00861-00240473-00240671 suggest that Om47kI694Xg-00862-00240671-00240773 um yeah Om47kI694Xg-00863-00240773-00241055 well one thing is Om47kI694Xg-00864-00241056-00241331 um in the future is that it iterations Om47kI694Xg-00865-00241332-00241517 may be Om47kI694Xg-00866-00241517-00241691 needed Om47kI694Xg-00867-00241692-00241787 um Om47kI694Xg-00868-00241788-00242123 an early submission would be helpful for Om47kI694Xg-00869-00242123-00242327 iterations Om47kI694Xg-00870-00242328-00242608 yeah we were trying to kind of be in the Om47kI694Xg-00871-00242609-00242813 middle this summer by having that hosted Om47kI694Xg-00872-00242814-00242987 version of the app that you all could Om47kI694Xg-00873-00242988-00243232 look at on Shawnee Epps IO as a way for Om47kI694Xg-00874-00243233-00243551 you to get that near real time you know Om47kI694Xg-00875-00243552-00243760 look at what we were doing in a stage Om47kI694Xg-00876-00243761-00244103 fashion but I do understand that you you Om47kI694Xg-00877-00244104-00244348 need the more quote-unquote formal Om47kI694Xg-00878-00244350-00244625 transfer process to actually do your Om47kI694Xg-00879-00244626-00244823 evaluation so we were trying to kind of Om47kI694Xg-00880-00244823-00245279 mix it through the cover a little bit Om47kI694Xg-00881-00245280-00245332 um Om47kI694Xg-00882-00245333-00245579 so yeah and then things have evolved Om47kI694Xg-00883-00245580-00245837 even since what we looked at initially Om47kI694Xg-00884-00245838-00246089 you bet absolutely but my first pass Om47kI694Xg-00885-00246090-00246263 will be to deploy a new version on the Om47kI694Xg-00886-00246264-00246431 external hosting just to make sure it Om47kI694Xg-00887-00246432-00246641 works amongst our team here and then Om47kI694Xg-00888-00246642-00246796 we'll send that link to you again just Om47kI694Xg-00889-00246798-00246994 in case you want to poke at it before Om47kI694Xg-00890-00246996-00247342 the actual transfer um okay we'll we'll Om47kI694Xg-00891-00247344-00247534 take it from there yep Om47kI694Xg-00892-00247535-00247763 well I have one more question do you Om47kI694Xg-00893-00247764-00248134 expect that the work you alluded to by Om47kI694Xg-00894-00248135-00248423 the security team at the FDA will result Om47kI694Xg-00895-00248423-00248742 in a formal document of some sort on Om47kI694Xg-00896-00248744-00249227 requirements or recommendations or Om47kI694Xg-00897-00249228-00249565 um stuff they might Om47kI694Xg-00898-00249566-00250132 were in discussions with the Om47kI694Xg-00899-00250133-00250403 um one of the groups I'm involved with Om47kI694Xg-00900-00250404-00250841 the scientific Computing board Om47kI694Xg-00901-00250842-00251231 um is Om47kI694Xg-00902-00251232-00251584 in discussions with Om47kI694Xg-00903-00251585-00251777 um our office of information management Om47kI694Xg-00904-00251778-00251994 and Technology Om47kI694Xg-00905-00251996-00252192 and Om47kI694Xg-00906-00252194-00252491 there's some discussion of trying to set Om47kI694Xg-00907-00252492-00252725 up a working group to Om47kI694Xg-00908-00252726-00253037 internal working group to address some Om47kI694Xg-00909-00253038-00253396 of those Om47kI694Xg-00910-00253398-00253691 I don't think R is the main Om47kI694Xg-00911-00253692-00254010 problem I think it's actually python Om47kI694Xg-00912-00254011-00254423 when you say to my ears Om47kI694Xg-00913-00254423-00254860 um well I'm not an expert on python but Om47kI694Xg-00914-00254861-00255079 I think some of their Om47kI694Xg-00915-00255080-00255287 essentially the equivalent of their Om47kI694Xg-00916-00255288-00255581 mirrors were corrupted by malware in the Om47kI694Xg-00917-00255582-00255844 past that is true it's a much bigger Om47kI694Xg-00918-00255846-00256132 attack Vector than you know cran has Om47kI694Xg-00919-00256133-00256367 ever been and probably ever will be so Om47kI694Xg-00920-00256367-00256523 there needs to be a lot more scrutiny Om47kI694Xg-00921-00256523-00256746 around those things Om47kI694Xg-00922-00256748-00257177 so my solution is just to say hey our Om47kI694Xg-00923-00257178-00257509 crayon you can trust it python Om47kI694Xg-00924-00257510-00257980 [Laughter] Om47kI694Xg-00925-00257981-00258191 um but not everyone agrees with that Om47kI694Xg-00926-00258192-00258389 approach Om47kI694Xg-00927-00258390-00258587 right it'll be short-lived anyway Om47kI694Xg-00928-00258588-00258917 they'll catch up Om47kI694Xg-00929-00258917-00259108 so we hope so Om47kI694Xg-00930-00259109-00259169 um Om47kI694Xg-00931-00259169-00259415 Let's see we probably need to get going Om47kI694Xg-00932-00259416-00259679 we have a uh another Om47kI694Xg-00933-00259680-00260171 uh meeting to head off to yeah Om47kI694Xg-00934-00260171-00260375 um let's see Om47kI694Xg-00935-00260376-00260698 um one thing Om47kI694Xg-00936-00260700-00261184 we might want to flag is we're getting Om47kI694Xg-00937-00261185-00261517 um multiple groups approaching us now Om47kI694Xg-00938-00261517-00261832 about using our Om47kI694Xg-00939-00261833-00262360 in some sense validation issues ETC Om47kI694Xg-00940-00262361-00262493 um Om47kI694Xg-00941-00262494-00262967 we would prefer not to say the Om47kI694Xg-00942-00262968-00263045 um Om47kI694Xg-00943-00263046-00263327 basically we might want to set up some Om47kI694Xg-00944-00263328-00263651 sort of way of trying to resolve these Om47kI694Xg-00945-00263652-00263932 across the entire Spectrum I know we Om47kI694Xg-00946-00263933-00264280 want to be decentralized but Om47kI694Xg-00947-00264281-00264484 um it seems like there's a lot of Om47kI694Xg-00948-00264485-00264689 replication and duplication of efforts Om47kI694Xg-00949-00264690-00264947 out there Om47kI694Xg-00950-00264948-00265145 um and I didn't know Om47kI694Xg-00951-00265146-00265456 maybe that something were at our time Om47kI694Xg-00952-00265457-00265649 that could be discussed at our next Om47kI694Xg-00953-00265650-00265799 meeting Om47kI694Xg-00954-00265800-00266063 yeah I like that idea the validation Om47kI694Xg-00955-00266064-00266201 issues Om47kI694Xg-00956-00266202-00266560 Val well also you know who's going to do Om47kI694Xg-00957-00266561-00266765 what Om47kI694Xg-00958-00266766-00266830 um Om47kI694Xg-00959-00266831-00267143 we we've been pinged on by transcella Om47kI694Xg-00960-00267144-00267460 rate we're being pinged on by fuse we've Om47kI694Xg-00961-00267461-00267947 been pinged on by pharmaververse Om47kI694Xg-00962-00267948-00268115 um Om47kI694Xg-00963-00268116-00268355 we would like to at least I would like Om47kI694Xg-00964-00268356-00268613 to have a coherent message and probably Om47kI694Xg-00965-00268614-00269087 we need to broaden our base within FDA Om47kI694Xg-00966-00269088-00269363 um I've reached out to John Scott and Om47kI694Xg-00967-00269364-00269471 sieber Om47kI694Xg-00968-00269472-00269795 so that right now we've had a cedar Om47kI694Xg-00969-00269796-00270029 based discussion Om47kI694Xg-00970-00270030-00270269 um but obviously since we're

P1WBAP3uiz8-00004-00000744-00001143 uh uh welcome to uh zeke week 20 20. P1WBAP3uiz8-00005-00001144-00001495 uh so uh this was this is our first P1WBAP3uiz8-00006-00001496-00001798 virtual zeekweek conference P1WBAP3uiz8-00007-00001800-00001967 when it was apparent that we would not P1WBAP3uiz8-00008-00001968-00002159 be able to meet in person P1WBAP3uiz8-00009-00002160-00002342 and that there was no possibility of P1WBAP3uiz8-00010-00002343-00002534 even pushing that back P1WBAP3uiz8-00011-00002535-00002823 in time to accomplish that goal we P1WBAP3uiz8-00012-00002824-00002999 quickly pivoted to holding P1WBAP3uiz8-00013-00003000-00003415 an entirely virtual event uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00014-00003415-00003606 we have all been blown away by the P1WBAP3uiz8-00015-00003607-00003759 exceptional response P1WBAP3uiz8-00016-00003760-00003975 we have as of this morning had about P1WBAP3uiz8-00017-00003976-00004215 1400 registrants for day two P1WBAP3uiz8-00018-00004216-00004543 and day three and we had several hundred P1WBAP3uiz8-00019-00004544-00004686 participants yesterday P1WBAP3uiz8-00020-00004687-00004999 in the training portion this is P1WBAP3uiz8-00021-00005000-00005199 far and away more than we've ever had P1WBAP3uiz8-00022-00005200-00005454 for any of our in-person events P1WBAP3uiz8-00023-00005455-00005622 and it certainly caused us to have some P1WBAP3uiz8-00024-00005623-00005831 discussions internally about P1WBAP3uiz8-00025-00005832-00006127 how we can try to capture this uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00026-00006128-00006199 virtual P1WBAP3uiz8-00027-00006200-00006550 participation for future events P1WBAP3uiz8-00028-00006551-00006806 uh i would note that we're keenly P1WBAP3uiz8-00029-00006808-00006878 interested P1WBAP3uiz8-00030-00006879-00007142 in feedback from the community about how P1WBAP3uiz8-00031-00007143-00007206 this virtual P1WBAP3uiz8-00032-00007208-00007510 event went on you'll all get a survey P1WBAP3uiz8-00033-00007511-00007742 and i encourage you to fill that out and P1WBAP3uiz8-00034-00007743-00007798 provide

P1WBAP3uiz8-00038-00008656-00008967 uh focused solely on the user experience P1WBAP3uiz8-00039-00008968-00009183 uh so we're trying to encourage P1WBAP3uiz8-00040-00009184-00009367 participation for people who aren't P1WBAP3uiz8-00041-00009368-00009535 necessarily writing scripts P1WBAP3uiz8-00042-00009536-00009751 uh but are doing amazing things with the P1WBAP3uiz8-00043-00009752-00009983 data that zeke generates P1WBAP3uiz8-00044-00009984-00010167 tomorrow on day three we will have a P1WBAP3uiz8-00045-00010168-00010295 developer focused P1WBAP3uiz8-00046-00010296-00010655 track again that is going to be much P1WBAP3uiz8-00047-00010656-00010759 more focused on P1WBAP3uiz8-00048-00010760-00011078 future road map road map of zeek uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00049-00011079-00011310 feature discussions uh and getting into P1WBAP3uiz8-00050-00011311-00011446 the nitty-gritty P1WBAP3uiz8-00051-00011447-00011831 details of the core that being said P1WBAP3uiz8-00052-00011832-00012023 uh even if you're not someone that P1WBAP3uiz8-00053-00012024-00012263 writes code uh for zeek you may still P1WBAP3uiz8-00054-00012264-00012383 find the discussions P1WBAP3uiz8-00055-00012384-00012742 uh interesting and uh end users should P1WBAP3uiz8-00056-00012743-00013055 certainly track what happens in that in P1WBAP3uiz8-00057-00013056-00013127 those P1WBAP3uiz8-00058-00013128-00013511 talks uh so we are also this year P1WBAP3uiz8-00059-00013512-00013775 going with much shorter talks this is P1WBAP3uiz8-00060-00013776-00013830 partly P1WBAP3uiz8-00061-00013831-00014143 a nod toward zoom fatigue P1WBAP3uiz8-00062-00014144-00014303 we wouldn't be able to have a full P1WBAP3uiz8-00063-00014304-00014463 eight-hour day P1WBAP3uiz8-00064-00014463-00014686 so we went with shorter talks we're P1WBAP3uiz8-00065-00014687-00015063 doing 15 to 20 minute talks P1WBAP3uiz8-00066-00015063-00015311 we hope that these will be concise and P1WBAP3uiz8-00067-00015312-00015471 impactful P1WBAP3uiz8-00068-00015472-00015727 but we would like to try to have uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00069-00015728-00015863 expanded versions P1WBAP3uiz8-00070-00015863-00016191 of the more popular talks put on as P1WBAP3uiz8-00071-00016191-00016479 monthly zeek presentations in the future P1WBAP3uiz8-00072-00016480-00016686 again that's going to be driven by the P1WBAP3uiz8-00073-00016687-00016855 survey results P1WBAP3uiz8-00074-00016856-00017111 so uh please do let us know which talks P1WBAP3uiz8-00075-00017112-00017175 you think P1WBAP3uiz8-00076-00017176-00017471 uh were uh engaging and would benefit P1WBAP3uiz8-00077-00017472-00017615 from having a little bit longer P1WBAP3uiz8-00078-00017616-00017871 presentation in the future P1WBAP3uiz8-00079-00017872-00018207 uh as we started to look at uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00080-00018208-00018494 doing a virtual event i think one of the P1WBAP3uiz8-00081-00018495-00018694 biggest hurdles that we had to get past P1WBAP3uiz8-00082-00018695-00018758 was P1WBAP3uiz8-00083-00018759-00018927 trying to figure out how to simulate P1WBAP3uiz8-00084-00018928-00019158 that hallway conference experience P1WBAP3uiz8-00085-00019159-00019399 uh the random interactions that you get P1WBAP3uiz8-00086-00019400-00019463 with people P1WBAP3uiz8-00087-00019464-00019622 and especially the interactions with P1WBAP3uiz8-00088-00019623-00019814 speakers that you can have after they're P1WBAP3uiz8-00089-00019815-00019863 finished P1WBAP3uiz8-00090-00019864-00020127 talking to try to simulate some of that P1WBAP3uiz8-00091-00020128-00020343 we've got a number of slack channels set P1WBAP3uiz8-00092-00020344-00020447 up this year P1WBAP3uiz8-00093-00020448-00020694 we have per talk slack channels uh where P1WBAP3uiz8-00094-00020695-00020847 hopefully speakers will be able to P1WBAP3uiz8-00095-00020848-00020958 engage with P1WBAP3uiz8-00096-00020959-00021255 attendees and we also have some general P1WBAP3uiz8-00097-00021256-00021311 purpose

P1WBAP3uiz8-00101-00021895-00022103 and establish relationships P1WBAP3uiz8-00102-00022104-00022335 which is again a lot of what conferences P1WBAP3uiz8-00103-00022336-00022599 are about

ideas for P1WBAP3uiz8-00159-00033856-00033974 speakers uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00160-00033975-00034151 and making sure that we had a good P1WBAP3uiz8-00161-00034152-00034287 exciting uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00162-00034288-00034590 program set up uh last but not least uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00163-00034591-00034774 i'd like to extend a thanks to all of P1WBAP3uiz8-00164-00034775-00034974 the speakers who are putting in their P1WBAP3uiz8-00165-00034975-00035046 time P1WBAP3uiz8-00166-00035047-00035383 uh to make this event successful and i P1WBAP3uiz8-00167-00035384-00035511 would like to highlight the P1WBAP3uiz8-00168-00035512-00035671 contributions of P1WBAP3uiz8-00169-00035672-00035983 ashish sharma who put on a very well P1WBAP3uiz8-00170-00035984-00036102 received P1WBAP3uiz8-00171-00036103-00036287 training session yesterday on zeke P1WBAP3uiz8-00172-00036288-00036407 scripting uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00173-00036408-00036759 and also fatima banatwala who assisted P1WBAP3uiz8-00174-00036760-00037023 uh who together with me put on an P1WBAP3uiz8-00175-00037024-00037239 introduction to zeke training P1WBAP3uiz8-00176-00037240-00037430 uh my understanding is that both of P1WBAP3uiz8-00177-00037431-00037615 those were pretty well received P1WBAP3uiz8-00178-00037616-00037807 uh and fatima and ashish put a P1WBAP3uiz8-00179-00037808-00038023 tremendous amount of time in P1WBAP3uiz8-00180-00038024-00038239 getting these together in a compressed P1WBAP3uiz8-00181-00038240-00038527 timeline P1WBAP3uiz8-00182-00038528-00038807 so for a lot of us it probably feels P1WBAP3uiz8-00183-00038808-00038895 like it's been P1WBAP3uiz8-00184-00038896-00039127 25 years since we all got together in P1WBAP3uiz8-00185-00039128-00039295 seattle last year P1WBAP3uiz8-00186-00039296-00039630 but as it would happen it has been 25 P1WBAP3uiz8-00187-00039631-00039846 years since bern paxton wrote the first P1WBAP3uiz8-00188-00039847-00040062 lines of code for what was at the time P1WBAP3uiz8-00189-00040063-00040102 called P1WBAP3uiz8-00190-00040103-00040518 pro in the intervening 25 years P1WBAP3uiz8-00191-00040519-00040751 i think you know vern and none of the P1WBAP3uiz8-00192-00040752-00040927 rest of us would have predicted P1WBAP3uiz8-00193-00040928-00041143 how far things have traveled and how P1WBAP3uiz8-00194-00041144-00041358 much this community has grown P1WBAP3uiz8-00195-00041359-00041687 uh it it continues to amaze me uh where P1WBAP3uiz8-00196-00041688-00041799 zeke gets to P1WBAP3uiz8-00197-00041800-00042055 uh from its early days uh as something P1WBAP3uiz8-00198-00042056-00042207 that was primarily focused P1WBAP3uiz8-00199-00042208-00042399 around higher ed and used within the P1WBAP3uiz8-00200-00042400-00042558 higher ed community P1WBAP3uiz8-00201-00042559-00042807 uh and now we see zeke listed as a P1WBAP3uiz8-00202-00042808-00042951 requirement for job P1WBAP3uiz8-00203-00042952-00043279 uh applications and uh we continue to P1WBAP3uiz8-00204-00043280-00043462 see participation from P1WBAP3uiz8-00205-00043463-00043655 the commercial sector and from the P1WBAP3uiz8-00206-00043656-00043862 government sector P1WBAP3uiz8-00207-00043863-00044158 i'm again always amazed to see what P1WBAP3uiz8-00208-00044159-00044327 people are doing and where people are P1WBAP3uiz8-00209-00044328-00044423 going P1WBAP3uiz8-00210-00044424-00044743 with zeke the accelerating pace of P1WBAP3uiz8-00211-00044744-00044839 changing P1WBAP3uiz8-00212-00044840-00045143 code has also been pretty astonishing uh P1WBAP3uiz8-00213-00045144-00045351 for someone that tries to track very P1WBAP3uiz8-00214-00045352-00045574 closely uh what the changes are P1WBAP3uiz8-00215-00045575-00045839 uh it it has become harder and harder as P1WBAP3uiz8-00216-00045840-00046007 more and more amazing things have been P1WBAP3uiz8-00217-00046008-00046095 added P1WBAP3uiz8-00218-00046096-00046383 uh we've seen in recent years the shift P1WBAP3uiz8-00219-00046384-00046623 to using broker as the communication P1WBAP3uiz8-00220-00046624-00046695 library P1WBAP3uiz8-00221-00046696-00046895 uh there have been a lot of significant P1WBAP3uiz8-00222-00046896-00047023 changes in the core P1WBAP3uiz8-00223-00047024-00047302 of zeek code over the last few years as P1WBAP3uiz8-00224-00047303-00047423 they've been able to add P1WBAP3uiz8-00225-00047424-00047727 open source developers to the project P1WBAP3uiz8-00226-00047728-00047935 and there are some pretty exciting P1WBAP3uiz8-00227-00047936-00048086 things happening around P1WBAP3uiz8-00228-00048087-00048415 a new protocol parser code called spicy P1WBAP3uiz8-00229-00048416-00048607 uh that will undoubtedly be discussed P1WBAP3uiz8-00230-00048608-00048751 more tomorrow P1WBAP3uiz8-00231-00048752-00049015 again really amazed at how far things P1WBAP3uiz8-00232-00049016-00049071 have come P1WBAP3uiz8-00233-00049072-00049367 in the intervening years uh if you would P1WBAP3uiz8-00234-00049368-00049479 like a little more P1WBAP3uiz8-00235-00049480-00049799 of a view of the history of uh zeke uh i P1WBAP3uiz8-00236-00049800-00049983 would strongly encourage you go back and P1WBAP3uiz8-00237-00049984-00050215 look at vern's keynote uh from the 20th P1WBAP3uiz8-00238-00050216-00050502 anniversary back at bro con 2015. P1WBAP3uiz8-00239-00050503-00050767 uh that was a great talk that grounds P1WBAP3uiz8-00240-00050768-00050815 where P1WBAP3uiz8-00241-00050816-00051102 things started and how the project had P1WBAP3uiz8-00242-00051103-00051254 grown to that point P1WBAP3uiz8-00243-00051255-00051502 and i think it still has relevance and P1WBAP3uiz8-00244-00051503-00051607 resonance P1WBAP3uiz8-00245-00051608-00052166 uh today uh since we last met in seattle P1WBAP3uiz8-00246-00052167-00052399 uh the leadership team has been hard at P1WBAP3uiz8-00247-00052400-00052519 work putting together P1WBAP3uiz8-00248-00052520-00052847 a formal document uh to govern to P1WBAP3uiz8-00249-00052848-00053126 describe our governance process uh that P1WBAP3uiz8-00250-00053127-00053159 was P1WBAP3uiz8-00251-00053160-00053447 published earlier this year the goal of P1WBAP3uiz8-00252-00053448-00053654 that document was to lay out P1WBAP3uiz8-00253-00053655-00053815 what the leadership team should be P1WBAP3uiz8-00254-00053816-00053991 responsible for P1WBAP3uiz8-00255-00053991-00054199 what the various roles on the team P1WBAP3uiz8-00256-00054200-00054294 should be P1WBAP3uiz8-00257-00054295-00054630 and a process for getting involved P1WBAP3uiz8-00258-00054632-00054959 in the leadership team this year we were P1WBAP3uiz8-00259-00054960-00055223 able to hold community nominations P1WBAP3uiz8-00260-00055224-00055503 so we opened up the process to have P1WBAP3uiz8-00261-00055504-00055582 people either P1WBAP3uiz8-00262-00055583-00055782 self-nominate or they could be nominated P1WBAP3uiz8-00263-00055783-00055991 by members of the community P1WBAP3uiz8-00264-00055991-00056238 we had a process where people could P1WBAP3uiz8-00265-00056239-00056463 provide testimonials P1WBAP3uiz8-00266-00056464-00056654 to highlight the contributions of P1WBAP3uiz8-00267-00056655-00056830 prospective members P1WBAP3uiz8-00268-00056832-00057079 and then this year we conducted voting P1WBAP3uiz8-00269-00057079-00057247 by the existing leadership P1WBAP3uiz8-00270-00057248-00057607 team we do have a goal to try to involve P1WBAP3uiz8-00271-00057608-00057807 the community in the voting process the P1WBAP3uiz8-00272-00057808-00057919 next time around P1WBAP3uiz8-00273-00057920-00058166 in two years i think the largest P1WBAP3uiz8-00274-00058167-00058359 challenge we have to solve there P1WBAP3uiz8-00275-00058360-00058599 is how to identify community members who P1WBAP3uiz8-00276-00058600-00058766 have standing to participate P1WBAP3uiz8-00277-00058767-00059047 in the voting so that is something that P1WBAP3uiz8-00278-00059048-00059126 we look to do P1WBAP3uiz8-00279-00059127-00059319 in the future but i think we've made P1WBAP3uiz8-00280-00059320-00059503 tremendous progress in the last P1WBAP3uiz8-00281-00059504-00059711 year and i want to thank everybody on P1WBAP3uiz8-00282-00059712-00059815 the leadership team

P1WBAP3uiz8-00286-00060312-00060591 and getting us to the point where we are P1WBAP3uiz8-00287-00060591-00060750 now P1WBAP3uiz8-00288-00060751-00060975 we conducted the votes a couple weeks

computational linguistics was born as P2ijADAjte4-00077-00021188-00021364 the name of the new field of study P2ijADAjte4-00078-00021365-00021637 devoted to developing algorithms and P2ijADAjte4-00079-00021638-00021889 software for intelligently processing P2ijADAjte4-00080-00021890-00022303 language data the term computational P2ijADAjte4-00081-00022304-00022657 linguistics itself was first coined by P2ijADAjte4-00082-00022658-00022908 david hayes founding member of both the P2ijADAjte4-00083-00022909-00023137 association for computational

intelligence came into P2ijADAjte4-00087-00023920-00024256 existence in the 1960s the field of P2ijADAjte4-00088-00024257-00024514 computational linguistics became that P2ijADAjte4-00089-00024515-00024726 subdivision of artificial intelligence P2ijADAjte4-00090-00024727-00025037 dealing with human level comprehension P2ijADAjte4-00091-00025038-00025319 production of

P2ijADAjte4-00094-00025773-00026039 understand the grammar of both languages P2ijADAjte4-00095-00026039-00026320 including both morphology the grammar of P2ijADAjte4-00096-00026322-00026600 word forms and syntax the grammar of P2ijADAjte4-00097-00026601-00026891 sentence structure in order to P2ijADAjte4-00098-00026892-00027139 understand syntax one had to also P2ijADAjte4-00099-00027141-00027416 understand the semantics and the lexicon P2ijADAjte4-00100-00027417-00027719 or vocabulary and even something of the P2ijADAjte4-00101-00027720-00028070 pragmatics of language use thus what P2ijADAjte4-00102-00028070-00028280 started as an effort to translate P2ijADAjte4-00103-00028281-00028552 between languages evolved into an entire P2ijADAjte4-00104-00028554-00028817 discipline devoted to understanding how P2ijADAjte4-00105-00028818-00029048 to represent and process natural P2ijADAjte4-00106-00029049-00029306 languages using computers nowadays

cognitive skill which P2ijADAjte4-00134-00038033-00038221 develops throughout the life of an P2ijADAjte4-00135-00038222-00038578 individual this developmental process P2ijADAjte4-00136-00038579-00038803 has been examined using a number of P2ijADAjte4-00137-00038804-00039064 techniques and a computational approach P2ijADAjte4-00138-00039065-00039340 as one of them human language P2ijADAjte4-00139-00039341-00039532 development does provide some P2ijADAjte4-00140-00039533-00039724 constraints which make it harder to P2ijADAjte4-00141-00039725-00039967 apply a computational method to P2ijADAjte4-00142-00039968-00040279 understanding it for instance during P2ijADAjte4-00143-00040280-00040549 language acquisition human children are P2ijADAjte4-00144-00040550-00040750 largely only exposed to positive P2ijADAjte4-00145-00040751-00041080 evidence this means that during the P2ijADAjte4-00146-00041081-00041329 linguistic development of an individual P2ijADAjte4-00147-00041330-00041587 only evidence for what is a correct form P2ijADAjte4-00148-00041588-00041842 is provided and not evidence for what is P2ijADAjte4-00149-00041843-00042145 not correct this is insufficient P2ijADAjte4-00150-00042146-00042400 information for a simple hypothesis P2ijADAjte4-00151-00042401-00042640 testing procedure for

approach to modeling language P2ijADAjte4-00155-00043340-00043552 development and acquisition in an P2ijADAjte4-00156-00043553-00043885 individual attempts have been made to P2ijADAjte4-00157-00043886-00044134 model the developmental process of P2ijADAjte4-00158-00044135-00044386 language acquisition in children from a P2ijADAjte4-00159-00044387-00044626 computational angle leading to both P2ijADAjte4-00160-00044627-00044869 statistical grammars and connectionist P2ijADAjte4-00161-00044870-00045238 models work in this realm has also been P2ijADAjte4-00162-00045239-00045472 proposed as a method to explain the P2ijADAjte4-00163-00045473-00045744 evolution of language through history P2ijADAjte4-00164-00045745-00046020 using models it has been shown that P2ijADAjte4-00165-00046021-00046222 languages can be learned with a P2ijADAjte4-00166-00046223-00046489 combination of simple input presented P2ijADAjte4-00167-00046490-00046675 incrementally as the child develops P2ijADAjte4-00168-00046676-00047016 better memory and longer attention span P2ijADAjte4-00169-00047017-00047335 this was simultaneously posed as a P2ijADAjte4-00170-00047336-00047614 reason for the long developmental period P2ijADAjte4-00171-00047615-00047962 of human children both conclusions were P2ijADAjte4-00172-00047963-00048157 drawn because of the strength of the P2ijADAjte4-00173-00048158-00048376 artificial neural network which the P2ijADAjte4-00174-00048377-00048775 project created the ability of infants P2ijADAjte4-00175-00048776-00048997 to develop language has also been P2ijADAjte4-00176-00048998-00049264 modeled using robots in order to test P2ijADAjte4-00177-00049265-00049618 linguistic theories enabled to learn as P2ijADAjte4-00178-00049619-00049882 children might a model was created based P2ijADAjte4-00179-00049883-00050149 on an affordance model in which mappings

is a strong P2ijADAjte4-00283-00078126-00078347 tool for further probing the structure P2ijADAjte4-00284-00078348-00078649 of human discourse without the P2ijADAjte4-00285-00078650-00078869 computational approach to this question P2ijADAjte4-00286-00078870-00079202 the vastly complex information present P2ijADAjte4-00287-00079203-00079412 in discourse data would have remained

available for English as P2ijADAjte4-00291-00080289-00080632 well as other languages such as Japanese P2ijADAjte4-00292-00080633-00080972 using computational methods Japanese P2ijADAjte4-00293-00080973-00081224 sentence corpora were analyzed and a P2ijADAjte4-00294-00081225-00081494 pattern of log normality was found in P2ijADAjte4-00295-00081495-00081794 relation to

computational linguistics allows for P2ijADAjte4-00306-00084504-00084698 very exciting additions to the P2ijADAjte4-00307-00084699-00084926 scientific knowledge base to happen P2ijADAjte4-00308-00084927-00085127 quickly and with very little room for P2ijADAjte4-00309-00085128-00085523 doubt without a computational approach P2ijADAjte4-00310-00085524-00085790 to the

seen in most other approaches P2ijADAjte4-00319-00088329-00088919 topic production approaches P2ijADAjte4-00320-00088920-00089200 the production of language as equally as P2ijADAjte4-00321-00089201-00089405 complex in the information it provides P2ijADAjte4-00322-00089406-00089713 and the necessary skills which a fluent P2ijADAjte4-00323-00089714-00090025 producer must have that is to say P2ijADAjte4-00324-00090026-00090262 comprehension is only half the problem P2ijADAjte4-00325-00090263-00090625 of communication the other half as how a

discoveries in this P2ijADAjte4-00329-00091332-00091493 area P2ijADAjte4-00330-00091494-00091850 in a now famous paper published in 1950 P2ijADAjte4-00331-00091851-00092114 Alan Turing proposed the possibility P2ijADAjte4-00332-00092115-00092345 that machines might one day have the P2ijADAjte4-00333-00092346-00092723 ability to think as a thought experiment P2ijADAjte4-00334-00092724-00092960 for what might define the concept of P2ijADAjte4-00335-00092961-00093211 thought in machines he proposed in P2ijADAjte4-00336-00093212-00093626 imitation test in which a human subject P2ijADAjte4-00337-00093627-00093950 has to text only conversations one with P2ijADAjte4-00338-00093951-00094130 a fellow human and another with a P2ijADAjte4-00339-00094131-00094355 machine attempting to respond like a P2ijADAjte4-00340-00094356-00094682 human turing proposes that if the P2ijADAjte4-00341-00094683-00094841 subject cannot tell the difference P2ijADAjte4-00342-00094842-00095141 between the human and the machine it may P2ijADAjte4-00343-00095142-00095387 be concluded that the machine is capable P2ijADAjte4-00344-00095388-00095726 of thought today this test is known as P2ijADAjte4-00345-00095727-00095936 the Turing test and it remains an P2ijADAjte4-00346-00095937-00096155 influential idea in the area of P2ijADAjte4-00347-00096156-00096518 artificial intelligence one of the P2ijADAjte4-00348-00096519-00096773 earliest and best known examples of a P2ijADAjte4-00349-00096774-00097013 computer program designed to converse P2ijADAjte4-00350-00097014-00097253 naturally with humans as the iliza P2ijADAjte4-00351-00097254-00097502 program developed by Joseph Weizenbaum P2ijADAjte4-00352-00097503-00098093 at MIT in 1966 the program emulated a P2ijADAjte4-00353-00098094-00098390 Rogerian psychotherapist when responding P2ijADAjte4-00354-00098391-00098555 to written statements and questions P2ijADAjte4-00355-00098556-00098737 posed by a user P2ijADAjte4-00356-00098738-00099059 it appeared capable of understanding P2ijADAjte4-00357-00099060-00099260 what was said to it and responding P2ijADAjte4-00358-00099261-00099503 intelligently but in truth it simply P2ijADAjte4-00359-00099504-00099752 followed a pattern matching routine that P2ijADAjte4-00360-00099753-00100016 relied on only understanding a few key P2ijADAjte4-00361-00100017-00100355 words in each sentence its responses P2ijADAjte4-00362-00100356-00100577 were generated by recombining the P2ijADAjte4-00363-00100578-00100772 unknown parts of the sentence around P2ijADAjte4-00364-00100773-00101036 properly translated versions of the P2ijADAjte4-00365-00101037-00101447 known words for example in the phrase it P2ijADAjte4-00366-00101448-00101882 seems that you hate me Eliza understands P2ijADAjte4-00367-00101883-00102341 you and me which matches the general P2ijADAjte4-00368-00102342-00102728 pattern Youth some words me allowing P2ijADAjte4-00369-00102729-00103292 Eliza to update the words you and me to P2ijADAjte4-00370-00103293-00103667 I and you and P2ijADAjte4-00371-00103668-00103979 replying what makes you think I hate you P2ijADAjte4-00372-00103980-00104291 in this example Eliza has no P2ijADAjte4-00373-00104292-00104633 understanding of the word hate but it is P2ijADAjte4-00374-00104633-00104911 not required for a logical response in P2ijADAjte4-00375-00104913-00105079 the context of this type of P2ijADAjte4-00376-00105080-00105341 psychotherapy some projects are still P2ijADAjte4-00377-00105342-00105578 trying to solve the problem which first P2ijADAjte4-00378-00105579-00105866 started computational linguistics off as P2ijADAjte4-00379-00105867-00106220 its own field in the first place however P2ijADAjte4-00380-00106221-00106481 the methods have become more refined and P2ijADAjte4-00381-00106482-00106727 clever and consequently the results P2ijADAjte4-00382-00106728-00107000 generated by computational linguists P2ijADAjte4-00383-00107001-00107282 have become more enlightening in an P2ijADAjte4-00384-00107283-00107519 effort to improve computer translation P2ijADAjte4-00385-00107520-00107758 several models have been compared P2ijADAjte4-00386-00107759-00108065 including hidden Markov models smoothing P2ijADAjte4-00387-00108066-00108317 techniques and

kind of natural language P2ijADAjte4-00494-00139363-00139581 processing has proven much more P2ijADAjte4-00495-00139582-00139824 difficult outside the limited scope of P2ijADAjte4-00496-00139825-00140196 the toy environment similarly a project P2ijADAjte4-00497-00140197-00140457 developed by NASA called lunar was P2ijADAjte4-00498-00140458-00140727 designed to

attempts at understanding spoken P2ijADAjte4-00504-00142264-00142533 language were based on work done in the P2ijADAjte4-00505-00142534-00142953 1960s and 1970s in signal modeling where P2ijADAjte4-00506-00142954-00143202 an unknown signal is analyzed to look P2ijADAjte4-00507-00143203-00143415 for patterns and to make predictions P2ijADAjte4-00508-00143416-00143751 based on its history an initial and P2ijADAjte4-00509-00143752-00143968 somewhat successful approach to applying P2ijADAjte4-00510-00143969-00144268 this kind of signal modeling to language P2ijADAjte4-00511-00144269-00144477 was achieved with the use of hidden P2ijADAjte4-00512-00144478-00144741 Markov models as detailed by Rebbe nur P2ijADAjte4-00513-00144742-00145162 in 1989 this approach attempts to P2ijADAjte4-00514-00145163-00145357 determine probabilities for the P2ijADAjte4-00515-00145358-00145594 arbitrary number of models that could be P2ijADAjte4-00516-00145595-00145827 being used in generating speech as well P2ijADAjte4-00517-00145828-00146062 as modeling the probabilities for P2ijADAjte4-00518-00146063-00146304 various words generated from each of P2ijADAjte4-00519-00146305-00146662 these possible models similar approaches P2ijADAjte4-00520-00146663-00146833 were employed in early speech P2ijADAjte4-00521-00146834-00147066 recognition attempts starting in the P2ijADAjte4-00522-00147067-00147385 late 70s at IBM using word part of P2ijADAjte4-00523-00147386-00147661 speech pair probabilities more recently P2ijADAjte4-00524-00147662-00147900 these kinds of statistical approaches P2ijADAjte4-00525-00147901-00148065 have been applied to more difficult P2ijADAjte4-00526-00148066-00148396 tasks such as topic identification using P2ijADAjte4-00527-00148397-00148681 Bayesian parameter estimation to infer P2ijADAjte4-00528-00148682-00149482 topic probabilities in text documents P2ijADAjte4-00529-00149483-00150069 topic applications P2ijADAjte4-00530-00150070-00150353 modern computational linguistics has P2ijADAjte4-00531-00150354-00150582 often a combination of studies in P2ijADAjte4-00532-00150583-00150836 computer science and programming math P2ijADAjte4-00533-00150837-00151095 particularly statistics language

development of systems P2ijADAjte4-00537-00151914-00152153 that can recognize speech and perform P2ijADAjte4-00538-00152154-00152434 some tasks based on that speech P2ijADAjte4-00539-00152435-00152706 examples include speech recognition P2ijADAjte4-00540-00152707-00153004 software such as Apple's Siri feature P2ijADAjte4-00541-00153005-00153290 spellcheck tools speech synthesis

P6mRvvwgCRA-00009-00002018-00002392 to go through and every day I dread P6mRvvwgCRA-00010-00002393-00002633 having to go through the requests and P6mRvvwgCRA-00011-00002634-00002900 add them to my

P6mRvvwgCRA-00017-00003870-00004150 do it eventually just wait patiently P6mRvvwgCRA-00018-00004151-00004391 this one that shouldn't be so hard P6mRvvwgCRA-00019-00004392-00004565 just a small neatly

the game or who is just this P6mRvvwgCRA-00033-00007806-00008014 thing that happens sometimes a few P6mRvvwgCRA-00034-00008015-00008351 minutes after a restart my computer this P6mRvvwgCRA-00035-00008352-00008567 is music P6mRvvwgCRA-00036-00008568-00008775 let's rap at your tags they don't P6mRvvwgCRA-00037-00008776-00009996 recognize it that is what exactly what

this is a big area there's a lot P6mRvvwgCRA-00041-00011221-00011808 of stuff going on here I'm sure it'll be P6mRvvwgCRA-00042-00011809-00011997 simple once I actually understand what P6mRvvwgCRA-00043-00011998-00012201 I'm doing but right now it looks rather P6mRvvwgCRA-00044-00012202-00012552 complicated maybe it's because there's a P6mRvvwgCRA-00045-00012553-00013415 lot of stuff in this big interesting P6mRvvwgCRA-00046-00013416-00013427 Oh P6mRvvwgCRA-00047-00013428-00013728 [Music] P6mRvvwgCRA-00048-00013729-00014307 what is the best way

try doing this first this P6mRvvwgCRA-00055-00016723-00016924 total service serves a dual purpose how P6mRvvwgCRA-00056-00016925-00017849 convenient P6mRvvwgCRA-00057-00017850-00018135 that's a neat trick but why would I want P6mRvvwgCRA-00058-00018136-00018389 to do that Oh cuz that one can be turned P6mRvvwgCRA-00059-00018390-00018765 off this one can't okay I see

P6mRvvwgCRA-00066-00020917-00021159 keep on that button right now so let's P6mRvvwgCRA-00067-00021160-00021297 just stick it with me into the other P6mRvvwgCRA-00068-00021298-00021653 room

P-jMHxbO-IU-00091-00021277-00021441 like various still a thing but you know P-jMHxbO-IU-00092-00021442-00021648 you're talking you there are things out P-jMHxbO-IU-00093-00021649-00021846 and then like you can keep their stuff P-jMHxbO-IU-00094-00021847-00022002 tapped and then the end of eternity P-jMHxbO-IU-00095-00022003-00022302 stands really strong like you know being P-jMHxbO-IU-00096-00022303-00022476 up to like whole deck kales off and P-jMHxbO-IU-00097-00022477-00022739 everything hold off like let's say are P-jMHxbO-IU-00098-00022740-00022989 like really big beat is that you can't P-jMHxbO-IU-00099-00022990-00023316 really deal with like the late game so P-jMHxbO-IU-00100-00023317-00023433 yeah just being you have to do that's P-jMHxbO-IU-00101-00023434-00023985 great playing for first best in the gate P-jMHxbO-IU-00102-00023986-00024255 in the game right now flying Nimbus of P-jMHxbO-IU-00103-00024256-00024438 course you know you can digit card P-jMHxbO-IU-00104-00024439-00024735 pitcher yellow card and negate the P-jMHxbO-IU-00105-00024736-00024852 attack and then they can merely attack P-jMHxbO-IU-00106-00024853-00024932 with one more battle P-jMHxbO-IU-00107-00024933-00025160 so you can really punish place because P-jMHxbO-IU-00108-00025161-00025298 what they'll do they'll like spring fun P-jMHxbO-IU-00109-00025299-00025574 babakov and then they'll like they'll P-jMHxbO-IU-00110-00025575-00025712 swing earthly the first to get the draw P-jMHxbO-IU-00111-00025713-00025939 but you can just negate it and then they P-jMHxbO-IU-00112-00025941-00026075 can only swim with one battle card P-jMHxbO-IU-00113-00026076-00026264 because like if they swing with like a P-jMHxbO-IU-00114-00026264-00026651 battle card then they can still swing P-jMHxbO-IU-00115-00026652-00026786 with leader and then swing with another P-jMHxbO-IU-00116-00026787-00027058 one cause we play to crushable just P-jMHxbO-IU-00117-00027060-00027338 because you're like monkey line up like P-jMHxbO-IU-00118-00027339-00027427 if they play march P-jMHxbO-IU-00119-00027429-00027686 you can like crushable there are there P-jMHxbO-IU-00120-00027687-00027877 monkeys and they come in rest mode it's P-jMHxbO-IU-00121-00027879-00028061 kind of strong in that way unless they P-jMHxbO-IU-00122-00028062-00028229 do have planet to zero just means they P-jMHxbO-IU-00123-00028230-00028385 can't swing with them so it's really P-jMHxbO-IU-00124-00028386-00028895 strong so of course you know playing a P-jMHxbO-IU-00125-00028895-00029087 really big if you monkey line playing P-jMHxbO-IU-00126-00029088-00029531 for Lord of the gradates to the data you P-jMHxbO-IU-00127-00029532-00029735 know it searches five drop or lastly the P-jMHxbO-IU-00128-00029736-00029924 opposite search these two that's all you P-jMHxbO-IU-00129-00029925-00030191 really need to searching a stick um play P-jMHxbO-IU-00130-00030192-00030422 three of the absolute great ape King P-jMHxbO-IU-00131-00030423-00030739 Vegeta you know everyone knows is can't P-jMHxbO-IU-00132-00030741-00030914 make a freeze until this part it's P-jMHxbO-IU-00133-00030914-00030974 amazing P-jMHxbO-IU-00134-00030975-00031244 gives all your scenes blocker so like P-jMHxbO-IU-00135-00031245-00031418 not only are you like you're giving like P-jMHxbO-IU-00136-00031419-00031607 these blocker you're also giving like P-jMHxbO-IU-00137-00031608-00031793 well you're always saying so it's like P-jMHxbO-IU-00138-00031794-00031949 you're giving this block a this block as P-jMHxbO-IU-00139-00031950-00032279 well I'm not like a barrier sorry like P-jMHxbO-IU-00140-00032280-00032501 you can't even give you Shi dish burial P-jMHxbO-IU-00141-00032502-00032821 if you really want it but you know I P-jMHxbO-IU-00142-00032822-00033086 don't ever see anyone actually playing P-jMHxbO-IU-00143-00033087-00033392 this but yeah great card double strike P-jMHxbO-IU-00144-00033393-00033769 25k swing free stand with plant vegeta P-jMHxbO-IU-00145-00033770-00034208 playing raging great ape son Goku so um P-jMHxbO-IU-00146-00034209-00034400 you're not really using it to evolve a P-jMHxbO-IU-00147-00034401-00034553 lot the main reason why you're playing P-jMHxbO-IU-00148-00034554-00034802 it is because it's a 25k blocker and P-jMHxbO-IU-00149-00034803-00035005 it's big it's really thick and like P-jMHxbO-IU-00150-00035006-00035252 people really have to invest in trying P-jMHxbO-IU-00151-00035253-00035537 to get rid of this and like you have P-jMHxbO-IU-00152-00035538-00035758 that extra advantage for your early game P-jMHxbO-IU-00153-00035759-00036002 because like you've never have to awaken P-jMHxbO-IU-00154-00036003-00036173 you don't have to swing your phone that P-jMHxbO-IU-00155-00036174-00036340 means like like like you get to P-jMHxbO-IU-00156-00036341-00036500 late-game very easy because you don't P-jMHxbO-IU-00157-00036501-00036623 need to swing at all and you just use P-jMHxbO-IU-00158-00036624-00036770 the ability on this side scant you've P-jMHxbO-IU-00159-00036771-00036921 almost P-jMHxbO-IU-00160-00036922-00037231 but yeah so this will find that these P-jMHxbO-IU-00161-00037232-00037390 will just stick on the field for a very P-jMHxbO-IU-00162-00037391-00037609 long time like you can evolve it over P-jMHxbO-IU-00163-00037610-00037780 these guys but if you really want to P-jMHxbO-IU-00164-00037781-00037927 evolve it truth over have you know P-jMHxbO-IU-00165-00037928-00038161 Anthony's not these because these are P-jMHxbO-IU-00166-00038162-00038287 still like a block at the end of the day P-jMHxbO-IU-00167-00038288-00038710 so 25k critical blocker stays at the end P-jMHxbO-IU-00168-00038711-00038935 of the phase because if that planet P-jMHxbO-IU-00169-00038936-00039238 Vegeta um we're playing strike a bottle P-jMHxbO-IU-00170-00039239-00039415 I'm not playing any the desperate bottle P-jMHxbO-IU-00171-00039416-00039712 or the what's you up on the grade eight P-jMHxbO-IU-00172-00039713-00039811 bars but look P-jMHxbO-IU-00173-00039812-00040273 I just feel no way to slow up like the P-jMHxbO-IU-00174-00040274-00040441 Bartok itself is actually a great card P-jMHxbO-IU-00175-00040442-00040621 because when you play it you look at the P-jMHxbO-IU-00176-00040622-00040870 top three and eight cards enhancing you P-jMHxbO-IU-00177-00040871-00040985 don't actually have to show your P-jMHxbO-IU-00178-00040986-00041191 opponent and then it has dual attack so P-jMHxbO-IU-00179-00041192-00041365 it's like swing something down three P-jMHxbO-IU-00180-00041366-00041560 stand and then just say like that and P-jMHxbO-IU-00181-00041561-00041716 just people protected by planet plant P-jMHxbO-IU-00182-00041717-00042001 like the King Vegeta so it's very strong P-jMHxbO-IU-00183-00042002-00042313 so you know or you can just go swing and P-jMHxbO-IU-00184-00042314-00042769 then swing again but yeah of course play P-jMHxbO-IU-00185-00042770-00043171 for she gets tempted to play three sugar P-jMHxbO-IU-00186-00043172-00043344 and then one datoria P-jMHxbO-IU-00187-00043345-00043744 but like you don't really need that P-jMHxbO-IU-00188-00043745-00043969 extra draw power like maybe it might P-jMHxbO-IU-00189-00043970-00044185 come in handy a little bit but like just P-jMHxbO-IU-00190-00044186-00044347 playing for suggests just so you can get P-jMHxbO-IU-00191-00044348-00044650 as much out of these as you can for P-jMHxbO-IU-00192-00044651-00044905 late-game of course of course P-jMHxbO-IU-00193-00044906-00045181 three we only create three god tempter P-jMHxbO-IU-00194-00045182-00045574 Bulma so if you don't know this if you P-jMHxbO-IU-00195-00045575-00045802 only able to set one pretty much this P-jMHxbO-IU-00196-00045803-00046072 was searched out of this and we play P-jMHxbO-IU-00197-00046073-00046378 with the returning attendant arresting P-jMHxbO-IU-00198-00046379-00046657 attended um when you play this card you P-jMHxbO-IU-00199-00046658-00046906 play the top card key deck as mana very P-jMHxbO-IU-00200-00046907-00047089 strong card it's the reef that this deck P-jMHxbO-IU-00201-00047090-00047395 really needs like being up like bring P-jMHxbO-IU-00202-00047396-00047632 out this like turn through and then like P-jMHxbO-IU-00203-00047633-00047908 turn for bringing this down like usually P-jMHxbO-IU-00204-00047909-00048142 you will like you over your waking yet P-jMHxbO-IU-00205-00048143-00048376 but when you flip over you can like if P-jMHxbO-IU-00206-00048377-00048526 they manage to flip you over that term P-jMHxbO-IU-00207-00048527-00048787 you can like just on top of the manner P-jMHxbO-IU-00208-00048788-00048928 that you would have done for that but P-jMHxbO-IU-00209-00048929-00049144 that's fair and the main reason why we P-jMHxbO-IU-00210-00049145-00049297 fly blue is because since you've been P-jMHxbO-IU-00211-00049298-00049636 promised time in the game no it needs no P-jMHxbO-IU-00212-00049637-00049709 explains P-jMHxbO-IU-00213-00049710-00049919 and then two black cards we played math P-jMHxbO-IU-00214-00049920-00050098 saying the mysterious boil P-jMHxbO-IU-00215-00050099-00050390 it's pretty much only hard removal in P-jMHxbO-IU-00216-00050391-00050531 the deck like you've u-verse some P-jMHxbO-IU-00217-00050532-00050681 veggies and they're not playing like you P-jMHxbO-IU-00218-00050682-00050882 know let's say yellow-billed you know P-jMHxbO-IU-00219-00050883-00051299 some people with mirror like me this was P-jMHxbO-IU-00220-00051300-00051452 just like pipe down their entire board P-jMHxbO-IU-00221-00051453-00051730 it's really strong I'm not playing it P-jMHxbO-IU-00222-00051732-00051899 over food and I'm not playing it over P-jMHxbO-IU-00223-00051900-00052160 the time for tricks like good time for P-jMHxbO-IU-00224-00052161-00052385 child protector trunks P-jMHxbO-IU-00225-00052386-00052603 I think that's its name just because P-jMHxbO-IU-00226-00052604-00052895 like you need the removal but at the P-jMHxbO-IU-00227-00052896-00053029 same time you don't need it that much P-jMHxbO-IU-00228-00053030-00053279 draw power compared to like all these P-jMHxbO-IU-00229-00053279-00053426 other decks like you are giving you a P-jMHxbO-IU-00230-00053427-00053699 lot of drop out early on and yeah that's P-jMHxbO-IU-00231-00053700-00053873 it for the deck profile and I found a P-jMHxbO-IU-00232-00053874-00054104 very strong deck you know one of their P-jMHxbO-IU-00233-00054104-00054332 people like Shaun in RPG you know he's P-jMHxbO-IU-00234-00054333-00054482 been like hammering this out and most P-jMHxbO-IU-00235-00054483-00054695 locals getting pretty good scores with P-jMHxbO-IU-00236-00054696-00054896 this and yeah that's it for the deck P-jMHxbO-IU-00237-00054897-00055073 profile these guys in the next one P-jMHxbO-IU-00238-00055074-00055388 thanks for watching P-vcN58VdrE-00000-00000076-00002142 [Music] P-vcN58VdrE-00001-00002143-00002334 okay so the bank really P-vcN58VdrE-00002-00002335-00002679 didn't have anything nation star P-vcN58VdrE-00003-00002680-00003007 was in these these two cases P-vcN58VdrE-00004-00003008-00003311 they combined uh consolidated P-vcN58VdrE-00005-00003311-00003606 the nation star versus opportunity homes P-vcN58VdrE-00006-00003607-00003679 and P-vcN58VdrE-00007-00003679-00003983 the um jimmy jack versus P-vcN58VdrE-00008-00003984-00004295 bank of america why they combine them is P-vcN58VdrE-00009-00004296-00004511 a mystery because P-vcN58VdrE-00010-00004512-00004863 bank of america defaulted and P-vcN58VdrE-00011-00004864-00005206 so that case was closed nation star vs P-vcN58VdrE-00012-00005207-00005335 opportunity homes P-vcN58VdrE-00013-00005336-00005670 nation star never pursued it P-vcN58VdrE-00014-00005671-00005991 nation star became a a defendant in P-vcN58VdrE-00015-00005992-00006063 intervention P-vcN58VdrE-00016-00006064-00006399 into the uh jimmy jack case why P-vcN58VdrE-00017-00006400-00006759 they did it that way you'll see okay P-vcN58VdrE-00018-00006759-00007087 so in there the in discovery now the P-vcN58VdrE-00019-00007088-00007198 discovery in the P-vcN58VdrE-00020-00007200-00007583 consolidated cases ended in P-vcN58VdrE-00021-00007584-00007927 the end of february 2019. P-vcN58VdrE-00022-00007928-00008271 so if nationstar didn't have the P-vcN58VdrE-00023-00008272-00008351 evidence P-vcN58VdrE-00024-00008352-00008559 by the time they filed their case in P-vcN58VdrE-00025-00008560-00008791 january of 16. P-vcN58VdrE-00026-00008792-00009031 at least they should have had it by the P-vcN58VdrE-00027-00009032-00009246 end of discovery P-vcN58VdrE-00028-00009247-00009606 so all they had before the end of P-vcN58VdrE-00029-00009607-00009903 discovery was a copy of the promissory P-vcN58VdrE-00030-00009904-00010071 note and P-vcN58VdrE-00031-00010072-00010399 that was not even um P-vcN58VdrE-00032-00010400-00010614 endorsed to them or to anybody they said P-vcN58VdrE-00033-00010615-00010742 gave them this P-vcN58VdrE-00034-00010743-00011055 alone okay so here's the P-vcN58VdrE-00035-00011056-00011367 second and third pages of the hanson P-vcN58VdrE-00036-00011368-00011519 promissory note P-vcN58VdrE-00037-00011520-00011799 that all say copy right there on the

say so these are all open to PAdZbpmA-6o-00075-00023653-00024000 suggestions and I hope that I can leave PAdZbpmA-6o-00076-00024001-00024458 some time for discussion now we are PAdZbpmA-6o-00077-00024459-00024864 joined a university between three entity PAdZbpmA-6o-00078-00024865-00025092 is the Duke University PAdZbpmA-6o-00079-00025093-00025434 the Wuhan University from China and also PAdZbpmA-6o-00080-00025435-00025703 the Crenshaw and municipal governments PAdZbpmA-6o-00081-00025704-00025940 because they known as the land and PAdZbpmA-6o-00082-00025941-00026202 the buting's everything we're fairly PAdZbpmA-6o-00083-00026202-00026652 small liberal arts college we recently PAdZbpmA-6o-00084-00026652-00027068 have the third year coming students in PAdZbpmA-6o-00085-00027069-00027411 September that would bring our total PAdZbpmA-6o-00086-00027412-00027767 number of undergraduate student to about PAdZbpmA-6o-00087-00027768-00028086 800 so we're fairly small but in a PAdZbpmA-6o-00088-00028087-00028326 meantime we have a lot of faculties PAdZbpmA-6o-00089-00028327-00028705 already we have about 85 for time and PAdZbpmA-6o-00090-00028706-00029058 usually around 20 or 30 visiting faculty PAdZbpmA-6o-00091-00029058-00029454 from huge and then we also have graduate PAdZbpmA-6o-00092-00029455-00029867 students and other graduates were from PAdZbpmA-6o-00093-00029868-00030198 the master programs not undergraduate PAdZbpmA-6o-00094-00030199-00030530 yeah we still only have first year in PAdZbpmA-6o-00095-00030531-00030729 the second year students the incoming PAdZbpmA-6o-00096-00030730-00031098 would be in September but interestingly PAdZbpmA-6o-00097-00031099-00031529 you can see that we are represented by PAdZbpmA-6o-00098-00031530-00032001 front by students from 41 countries even PAdZbpmA-6o-00099-00032002-00032333 though almost 70 of them are from China PAdZbpmA-6o-00100-00032334-00032758 but we have almost 30% and soon to be PAdZbpmA-6o-00101-00032759-00033207 35% from many other countries and the PAdZbpmA-6o-00102-00033208-00033536 faculties are represented from almost PAdZbpmA-6o-00103-00033537-00034055 every continent and then we have many PAdZbpmA-6o-00104-00034056-00034554 from the US or the staff most of them PAdZbpmA-6o-00105-00034555-00034842 are from China but we still have a lot PAdZbpmA-6o-00106-00034843-00035061 of staff members from many other PAdZbpmA-6o-00107-00035062-00035405 countries so it's a very diverse as you PAdZbpmA-6o-00108-00035406-00035895 can see and when the corner was a virus PAdZbpmA-6o-00109-00035896-00036207 broke many of the students and the PAdZbpmA-6o-00110-00036208-00036630 faculty returned home in February I PAdZbpmA-6o-00111-00036631-00036812 think in February the return home PAdZbpmA-6o-00112-00036813-00037301 creates many different issues because PAdZbpmA-6o-00113-00037302-00037571 now we are truly a global University PAdZbpmA-6o-00114-00037572-00037917 because we are truly spread over the PAdZbpmA-6o-00115-00037918-00038302 globe you know at least the 40 countries PAdZbpmA-6o-00116-00038303-00038639 so for our curriculum it's also very PAdZbpmA-6o-00117-00038640-00039036 different we have a unique seven week PAdZbpmA-6o-00118-00039037-00039378 format so each session for example the PAdZbpmA-6o-00119-00039379-00039684 spring semester traditionally will be 14 PAdZbpmA-6o-00120-00039685-00040080 15 or 16 weeks it's prickly into two PAdZbpmA-6o-00121-00040081-00040413 sessions seven weeks each we have in the PAdZbpmA-6o-00122-00040414-00040812 middle a mini term so we can have some PAdZbpmA-6o-00123-00040813-00041169 sort of very intense mini term while PAdZbpmA-6o-00124-00041170-00041505 week classes to give student a little PAdZbpmA-6o-00125-00041506-00041832 bit change and we also have very small PAdZbpmA-6o-00126-00041833-00042117 community so everyone almost knows PAdZbpmA-6o-00127-00042118-00042297 everyone so it's very tight community PAdZbpmA-6o-00128-00042298-00042651 there are a lot of interdisciplinary PAdZbpmA-6o-00129-00042652-00043079 communication collaboration constant PAdZbpmA-6o-00130-00043080-00043398 hallway talks and we have launch PAdZbpmA-6o-00131-00043399-00043668 meetings all the time so we're tied a PAdZbpmA-6o-00132-00043669-00044043 community and we all try to bring PAdZbpmA-6o-00133-00044044-00044286 innovative ideas in teaching and PAdZbpmA-6o-00134-00044287-00044487 learning and the research almost PAdZbpmA-6o-00135-00044488-00044834 everything so that creates a very unique PAdZbpmA-6o-00136-00044835-00045192 scenario at a dko it's very personalized PAdZbpmA-6o-00137-00045193-00045582 they're intense both the faculty and the PAdZbpmA-6o-00138-00045583-00045822 students are very driven they want to PAdZbpmA-6o-00139-00045823-00046248 get ahead of their set themselves so at PAdZbpmA-6o-00140-00046249-00046473 a very beginning when we try to build up PAdZbpmA-6o-00141-00046474-00046836 our University Center for teaching and PAdZbpmA-6o-00142-00046837-00047088 learning came up with this start a path PAdZbpmA-6o-00143-00047089-00047400 for other faculty we borrowed a lot of PAdZbpmA-6o-00144-00047401-00047808 things from Duke and you can see that we PAdZbpmA-6o-00145-00047809-00047994 have the Dukes learning management PAdZbpmA-6o-00146-00047995-00048576 system Sakai Duke's WordPress as the PAdZbpmA-6o-00147-00048577-00048840 e-portfolio platform and also creating PAdZbpmA-6o-00148-00048841-00049278 blogs and class projects we use were PAdZbpmA-6o-00149-00049279-00049578 prior to share our videos and even PAdZbpmA-6o-00150-00049579-00049872 though it's not well use that yet but PAdZbpmA-6o-00151-00049873-00050079 it's been out there for quite a while PAdZbpmA-6o-00152-00050080-00050367 and also we want to introduce pebblepad PAdZbpmA-6o-00153-00050368-00050751 for a second nature work but that's for PAdZbpmA-6o-00154-00050752-00051051 the third and a fourth year after a PAdZbpmA-6o-00155-00051052-00051539 couple years we gradually developed our PAdZbpmA-6o-00156-00051540-00051804 toolkits to include many other things PAdZbpmA-6o-00157-00051804-00052194 for example the learner mental systems PAdZbpmA-6o-00158-00052195-00052616 use Sakai we added a few other tools for PAdZbpmA-6o-00159-00052617-00052788 our video collaboration PAdZbpmA-6o-00160-00052789-00053160 and communication zoom whoa fire was PAdZbpmA-6o-00161-00053161-00053544 thread and due to the kernel virus we PAdZbpmA-6o-00162-00053545-00053891 find it's very important to keep in PAdZbpmA-6o-00163-00053892-00054431 touch more more instantly and most more PAdZbpmA-6o-00164-00054432-00054765 strongly so the local when I say local I PAdZbpmA-6o-00165-00054766-00055053 mean Chinese the Chinese platform is PAdZbpmA-6o-00166-00055054-00055379 which had its pervasive everything so we PAdZbpmA-6o-00167-00055380-00055682 use WeChat me Microsoft the team's is PAdZbpmA-6o-00168-00055683-00056028 also introduced and also a couple of PAdZbpmA-6o-00169-00056029-00056337 faculty picked up the teammates so that PAdZbpmA-6o-00170-00056338-00056750 it can do peer instruction together on PAdZbpmA-6o-00171-00056751-00057072 the other side you can see the blue blue PAdZbpmA-6o-00172-00057073-00057450 sign here we have gray scope for PAdZbpmA-6o-00173-00057451-00057519 everywhere PAdZbpmA-6o-00174-00057520-00057891 and the turning for assessment and we're PAdZbpmA-6o-00175-00057891-00058292 present and a Piazza are stood there the PAdZbpmA-6o-00176-00058294-00058536 library and the publishers we use a lot PAdZbpmA-6o-00177-00058537-00058803 of digital textbooks and the free PAdZbpmA-6o-00178-00058804-00059356 textbooks we also expand to kisara use PAdZbpmA-6o-00179-00059357-00059600 introduce the linking learning for PAdZbpmA-6o-00180-00059601-00059916 training of softwares and we also use a PAdZbpmA-6o-00181-00059916-00060229 box for holster materials PAdZbpmA-6o-00182-00060230-00060591 recently we also look into who saw or PAdZbpmA-6o-00183-00060591-00061188 hypothesis so that just faculty can help PAdZbpmA-6o-00184-00061189-00061571 the student to engage in social learning PAdZbpmA-6o-00185-00061572-00061855 or this type of collaborative PAdZbpmA-6o-00186-00061857-00062163 environment for tax based digital PAdZbpmA-6o-00187-00062164-00062598 materials so it's it's a still expanding PAdZbpmA-6o-00188-00062599-00062969 and very interestingly in none of the PAdZbpmA-6o-00189-00062970-00063116 fact that they seems to be too PAdZbpmA-6o-00190-00063117-00063324 frustrated they see this as a new PAdZbpmA-6o-00191-00063325-00063680 opportunity I guess that's a unique PAdZbpmA-6o-00192-00063682-00063941 atmosphere that you can only see in a PAdZbpmA-6o-00193-00063942-00064140 startup company uh-huh PAdZbpmA-6o-00194-00064141-00064359 well startup a college like a Duke PAdZbpmA-6o-00195-00064360-00064935 University now during this process we PAdZbpmA-6o-00196-00064936-00065328 finished the spring semester we dealt PAdZbpmA-6o-00197-00065329-00065525 with there's an emergency online PAdZbpmA-6o-00198-00065526-00065817 teaching and we're now preparing for the PAdZbpmA-6o-00199-00065818-00066168 fall we're thinking to PAdZbpmA-6o-00200-00066169-00066518 this transition from emergency PAdZbpmA-6o-00201-00066519-00066858 atmosphere to this regular flexible PAdZbpmA-6o-00202-00066859-00067331 teaching mode in that sense we mean that PAdZbpmA-6o-00203-00067332-00067782 whatever the situation is our teaching PAdZbpmA-6o-00204-00067783-00068196 our teaching plan is adaptable so it's a PAdZbpmA-6o-00205-00068197-00068616 flexible it's resilient and it can deal PAdZbpmA-6o-00206-00068617-00068976 with anything that's on the way so we PAdZbpmA-6o-00207-00068977-00069182 are thinking about this as several PAdZbpmA-6o-00208-00069183-00069525 guiding principles for choosing learning PAdZbpmA-6o-00209-00069526-00069789 technologies so first of all everyone PAdZbpmA-6o-00210-00069790-00070041 agrees that the sakai would be the PAdZbpmA-6o-00211-00070042-00070299 launching pad you know the home base so PAdZbpmA-6o-00212-00070300-00070551 students log in to Sakai they can see PAdZbpmA-6o-00213-00070552-00071004 everything when they in Sakai we PAdZbpmA-6o-00214-00071005-00071298 recommend that the faculty curate the PAdZbpmA-6o-00215-00071299-00071583 tools for the students keep it simple PAdZbpmA-6o-00216-00071584-00071961 keep it focused and analyze your PAdZbpmA-6o-00217-00071962-00072156 requirements your learning needs and PAdZbpmA-6o-00218-00072157-00072471 pick up a cup of tools that's most PAdZbpmA-6o-00219-00072472-00072843 crucial to a course and use that during PAdZbpmA-6o-00220-00072844-00073115 the spring semester we recommend the PAdZbpmA-6o-00221-00073116-00073590 dual the Sakai Plus zoom right because PAdZbpmA-6o-00222-00073591-00073818 we have to do synchronous meetings and PAdZbpmA-6o-00223-00073819-00074024 now we're thinking you know you can PAdZbpmA-6o-00224-00074025-00074451 strategically pick a few more so that PAdZbpmA-6o-00225-00074452-00074778 you can engage in a better asynchronous PAdZbpmA-6o-00226-00074779-00075108 and synchronous teaching and learning PAdZbpmA-6o-00227-00075109-00075408 experience so in that matter you need to PAdZbpmA-6o-00228-00075409-00075729 consider equity and inclusivity you want PAdZbpmA-6o-00229-00075730-00076001 to bring students onto the same level PAdZbpmA-6o-00230-00076002-00076452 you have to think about what they have PAdZbpmA-6o-00231-00076453-00076935 access to and where they will be it's PAdZbpmA-6o-00232-00076936-00077316 very very tricky and complicated because PAdZbpmA-6o-00233-00077317-00077637 our students and faculty are spread out PAdZbpmA-6o-00234-00077638-00077945 in so many different countries and PAdZbpmA-6o-00235-00077946-00078257 there's no telling one and how they PAdZbpmA-6o-00236-00078258-00078639 would be back on campus it's very PAdZbpmA-6o-00237-00078640-00078888 possible that when class all the PAdZbpmA-6o-00238-00078889-00079143 students are on campus and all the PAdZbpmA-6o-00239-00079144-00079506 faculties are in the US and in PAdZbpmA-6o-00240-00079507-00079794 class some faculty would be in China PAdZbpmA-6o-00241-00079795-00080109 some faculty in the Europe maybe and PAdZbpmA-6o-00242-00080110-00080490 some students will be Pakistan some will PAdZbpmA-6o-00243-00080491-00080808 be New Zealand and many others will be PAdZbpmA-6o-00244-00080809-00081255 in the u.s. it's crazy so you have to PAdZbpmA-6o-00245-00081256-00081687 think about how you consider equity how PAdZbpmA-6o-00246-00081688-00081951 you include everyone in a conversation PAdZbpmA-6o-00247-00081952-00082262 you don't discriminate based on their PAdZbpmA-6o-00248-00082263-00082692 access to technology you have to find a PAdZbpmA-6o-00249-00082693-00083049 ways both categorically and a PAdZbpmA-6o-00250-00083050-00083397 technically to include everyone and in PAdZbpmA-6o-00251-00083398-00083619 the meantime you want to bring everyone PAdZbpmA-6o-00252-00083620-00083850 together as a community and to provide PAdZbpmA-6o-00253-00083851-00084162 constant supports or when we say support PAdZbpmA-6o-00254-00084163-00084450 it doesn't just mean the IT support okay PAdZbpmA-6o-00255-00084451-00084714 you call IT Help Desk you get an answer PAdZbpmA-6o-00256-00084715-00084990 but it also means that the faculty need PAdZbpmA-6o-00257-00084991-00085410 to be aware of the student situation you PAdZbpmA-6o-00258-00085411-00085731 care for them academically and even PAdZbpmA-6o-00259-00085732-00085959 mentally you know you need to know that PAdZbpmA-6o-00260-00085960-00086238 they have someone there to fall back to PAdZbpmA-6o-00261-00086239-00086619 so it is very complicated and the whole PAdZbpmA-6o-00262-00086620-00086943 campus are working so hard over the PAdZbpmA-6o-00263-00086944-00087225 summer you know many faculty don't get PAdZbpmA-6o-00264-00087226-00087500 paid during the summer right but still PAdZbpmA-6o-00265-00087501-00087882 almost everyone and still working really PAdZbpmA-6o-00266-00087883-00088233 hard even when they are on vacation with PAdZbpmA-6o-00267-00088234-00088488 basic guiding principles I want to talk PAdZbpmA-6o-00268-00088489-00088758 to you about a few issues that came up PAdZbpmA-6o-00269-00088759-00089151 so I think those might be helpful for us PAdZbpmA-6o-00270-00089152-00089634 to think about and the plan our plan our PAdZbpmA-6o-00271-00089635-00090033 fall semester better and maybe can be PAdZbpmA-6o-00272-00090034-00090399 some lessons for Sakai or any other PAdZbpmA-6o-00273-00090400-00090771 learn amended system in the future so PAdZbpmA-6o-00274-00090772-00091140 for example first is the time we never PAdZbpmA-6o-00275-00091141-00091328 thought the time would be a problem PAdZbpmA-6o-00276-00091329-00091911 before so you would think you know you PAdZbpmA-6o-00277-00091912-00092178 have this time zone preference right PAdZbpmA-6o-00278-00092179-00092571 everyone just go there and set it up but PAdZbpmA-6o-00279-00092572-00092880 the problem first of all is the PAdZbpmA-6o-00280-00092881-00093276 in some of the places Sakai cannot PAdZbpmA-6o-00281-00093277-00093744 convert the time probably properly based PAdZbpmA-6o-00282-00093745-00094127 on the personal preferences of time zone PAdZbpmA-6o-00283-00094128-00094269 okay PAdZbpmA-6o-00284-00094270-00094446 on top of that even though the PAdZbpmA-6o-00285-00094447-00094821 conversion is correct and the faculty PAdZbpmA-6o-00286-00094822-00095058 will say okay what would be the close PAdZbpmA-6o-00287-00095059-00095484 time for the assignment how do I decide PAdZbpmA-6o-00288-00095485-00095792 on that so if I have a student in PAdZbpmA-6o-00289-00095793-00096066 Netherland then I have a student in PAdZbpmA-6o-00290-00096067-00096525 Hawaii and another one in China and a PAdZbpmA-6o-00291-00096526-00096948 five of them in the US okay so I could PAdZbpmA-6o-00292-00096949-00097293 just say all right let's just use cringe PAdZbpmA-6o-00293-00097294-00097629 on the China's time as the baseline so PAdZbpmA-6o-00294-00097630-00098000 everything fall back to that okay the PAdZbpmA-6o-00295-00098001-00098346 assignment will be closed at a 6:00 p.m. PAdZbpmA-6o-00296-00098347-00098721 China time right okay so theoretically PAdZbpmA-6o-00297-00098722-00099132 sounds okay but the students in the US PAdZbpmA-6o-00298-00099133-00099465 would say okay I'm twelve hours behind PAdZbpmA-6o-00299-00099466-00099846 you say 6:00 p.m. it's a 6:00 a.m. in my PAdZbpmA-6o-00300-00099847-00100338 time am I supposed to keep up all night PAdZbpmA-6o-00301-00100339-00100644 to finish the article I have to go to PAdZbpmA-6o-00302-00100645-00101006 sleep at 12:00 so I lose the six hours PAdZbpmA-6o-00303-00101007-00101157 what should I do PAdZbpmA-6o-00304-00101158-00101640 so it's unfair right so am i punished PAdZbpmA-6o-00305-00101641-00101886 because I'm in the US so I lose the six PAdZbpmA-6o-00306-00101887-00102210 hours of time right so it's it's a PAdZbpmA-6o-00307-00102211-00102509 global learning community so people are PAdZbpmA-6o-00308-00102510-00102741 in different places you really have to PAdZbpmA-6o-00309-00102742-00103058 consider pedagogically what do you do PAdZbpmA-6o-00310-00103059-00104021 right I think this is a really another PAdZbpmA-6o-00311-00104022-00104444 Stanford article you know we still run PAdZbpmA-6o-00312-00104445-00104792 this type of place-based education okay PAdZbpmA-6o-00313-00104793-00105105 you have a local location you know you PAdZbpmA-6o-00314-00105106-00105255 are based on you in the US you are PAdZbpmA-6o-00315-00105256-00105483 American University you are based in PAdZbpmA-6o-00316-00105483-00105690 Europe you're nestled in the university PAdZbpmA-6o-00317-00105691-00106122 okay all the things are revolving around PAdZbpmA-6o-00318-00106123-00106230 that the low PAdZbpmA-6o-00319-00106231-00106685 ha sometimes you have a branch campus PAdZbpmA-6o-00320-00106686-00107055 somewhere okay you have a campus in PAdZbpmA-6o-00321-00107056-00107199 Italy okay PAdZbpmA-6o-00322-00107200-00107510 that's local small campus they run by PAdZbpmA-6o-00323-00107511-00107735 itself okay they are grouped together PAdZbpmA-6o-00324-00107736-00108075 they use their Italian time their timing PAdZbpmA-6o-00325-00108076-00108386 in wrong okay they have nothing to do PAdZbpmA-6o-00326-00108388-00108702 with the people in the US however now PAdZbpmA-6o-00327-00108703-00108954 it's the same class people spread around PAdZbpmA-6o-00328-00108955-00109316 the globe how do you consider the time PAdZbpmA-6o-00329-00109317-00109791 alright maybe in the past you have this PAdZbpmA-6o-00330-00109792-00110145 campus in different locations but still PAdZbpmA-6o-00331-00110146-00110370 you are place-based education you are PAdZbpmA-6o-00332-00110371-00110799 not a truly global community so you are PAdZbpmA-6o-00333-00110800-00111003 only a truly global community when PAdZbpmA-6o-00334-00111004-00111189 people around the different time zones PAdZbpmA-6o-00335-00111190-00111461 work on the same thing like we are doing PAdZbpmA-6o-00336-00111463-00111815 now it's a global community we all go to PAdZbpmA-6o-00337-00111816-00112251 my presentation right so it's different PAdZbpmA-6o-00338-00112252-00112515 time zone for it is it fair for some PAdZbpmA-6o-00339-00112516-00112770 people who are in Hawaii you know PAdZbpmA-6o-00340-00112771-00113019 probably not they really cannot attend PAdZbpmA-6o-00341-00113020-00113289 this one so think about the implications PAdZbpmA-6o-00342-00113290-00113625 of time so do we have to localize our PAdZbpmA-6o-00343-00113626-00114027 global community right so right now PAdZbpmA-6o-00344-00114028-00114242 because it's so complicated our PAdZbpmA-6o-00345-00114243-00114507 recommendation for the for the faculty PAdZbpmA-6o-00346-00114508-00114891 is to set up your time zone to China PAdZbpmA-6o-00347-00114892-00115104 time everyone just a setter to the time PAdZbpmA-6o-00348-00115105-00115373 though this this is the our constant PAdZbpmA-6o-00349-00115374-00115644 okay and then you figure out the other PAdZbpmA-6o-00350-00115645-00115875 things of yourself some faculty just PAdZbpmA-6o-00351-00115876-00116157 abandon the deadlines for assignments so PAdZbpmA-6o-00352-00116158-00116367 they were saying okay so you just PAdZbpmA-6o-00353-00116368-00116724 finished by 6:00 p.m. of your local time PAdZbpmA-6o-00354-00116725-00116922 I trust you PAdZbpmA-6o-00355-00116923-00117174 okay you just submit at your local time PAdZbpmA-6o-00356-00117175-00117450 6:00 p.m. I accept that PAdZbpmA-6o-00357-00117451-00117705 because that must be fair for everyone PAdZbpmA-6o-00358-00117706-00118095 okay so and you know think about those PAdZbpmA-6o-00359-00118096-00118385 implications and also by the way they PAdZbpmA-6o-00360-00118386-00118602 require for a long side to fix those PAdZbpmA-6o-00361-00118603-00118968 time conversion bots in Sakai so it's a PAdZbpmA-6o-00362-00118969-00119304 lot better now thank you don't know PAdZbpmA-6o-00363-00119305-00119538 where you are but thank you PAdZbpmA-6o-00364-00119539-00120004 so next is a mobility um due to this PAdZbpmA-6o-00365-00120005-00120331 crisis we suddenly find the mobile PAdZbpmA-6o-00366-00120332-00120499 phones are much more important than PAdZbpmA-6o-00367-00120500-00120553 before PAdZbpmA-6o-00368-00120554-00120871 for example many students went home they PAdZbpmA-6o-00369-00120872-00121054 don't have their laptop with them but PAdZbpmA-6o-00370-00121055-00121375 they carry the phone with them so when PAdZbpmA-6o-00371-00121376-00121723 they are home they cannot study because PAdZbpmA-6o-00372-00121724-00121891 they only have fun with them they don't PAdZbpmA-6o-00373-00121892-00122200 even have their passport so if the PAdZbpmA-6o-00374-00122201-00122491 materials are not mobile friendly they PAdZbpmA-6o-00375-00122492-00122709 don't know what to do some of our PAdZbpmA-6o-00376-00122710-00122995 students request has to be a PAdZbpmA-6o-00377-00122996-00123181 demonstration for health so we actually PAdZbpmA-6o-00378-00123182-00123459 shits at their laptop back home we have PAdZbpmA-6o-00379-00123460-00123682 to pack that up and ship it at that home PAdZbpmA-6o-00380-00123683-00123984 and it happened into a couple of faculty PAdZbpmA-6o-00381-00123985-00124627 too so you know and also many of them PAdZbpmA-6o-00382-00124628-00124966 don't have a stable internet connection PAdZbpmA-6o-00383-00124967-00125283 at home but in the meantime they are 40 PAdZbpmA-6o-00384-00125284-00125583 connection is super so they cannot use PAdZbpmA-6o-00385-00125584-00125856 their laptop but they can use that phone PAdZbpmA-6o-00386-00125857-00126328 and this is just the reality during this PAdZbpmA-6o-00387-00126329-00126772 crisis mobile make people more connected PAdZbpmA-6o-00388-00126773-00126991 now laptop so really have to consider PAdZbpmA-6o-00389-00126992-00127269 you know where does the learning happen PAdZbpmA-6o-00390-00127270-00127645 it's just a restricted by laptop if you PAdZbpmA-6o-00391-00127646-00127981 don't have a laptop you cannot learn is PAdZbpmA-6o-00392-00127982-00128218 that the reality or how can we deal with PAdZbpmA-6o-00393-00128219-00128674 that so we have seen this life style PAdZbpmA-6o-00394-00128675-00129070 change because of the crisis and because PAdZbpmA-6o-00395-00129071-00129355 of mobility so I will just give you a PAdZbpmA-6o-00396-00129356-00129598 very simple example so I read the other PAdZbpmA-6o-00397-00129599-00130222 day the pickpocket has greatly decreased PAdZbpmA-6o-00398-00130223-00130582 in China in the past several years who PAdZbpmA-6o-00399-00130583-00130927 eradicated the pickpockets on the PAdZbpmA-6o-00400-00130928-00131464 streets here to guess who eradicated the PAdZbpmA-6o-00401-00131465-00131725 pickpockets on the streets the mobile PAdZbpmA-6o-00402-00131726-00131977 phones because nobody carry cash in PAdZbpmA-6o-00403-00131978-00132415 their pocket okay so everything is paid PAdZbpmA-6o-00404-00132416-00132836 on the app on their phone so here PAdZbpmA-6o-00405-00132837-00133043 pockets just cannot make a living on the PAdZbpmA-6o-00406-00133044-00133199 street they have to pick up another PAdZbpmA-6o-00407-00133200-00133595 career that's just happened okay this is PAdZbpmA-6o-00408-00133596-00133871 just a trend in China are not just in PAdZbpmA-6o-00409-00133872-00134090 China it's around the world must have PAdZbpmA-6o-00410-00134091-00134389 happened in some other places right and PAdZbpmA-6o-00411-00134390-00134801 then we already implemented the 5g in PAdZbpmA-6o-00412-00134802-00135214 many major cities in China but I think PAdZbpmA-6o-00413-00135215-00135560 the higher education still yet to catch PAdZbpmA-6o-00414-00135561-00135920 up with a 4G all right so when I talk PAdZbpmA-6o-00415-00135921-00136184 about 4G I will ask you can you upload PAdZbpmA-6o-00416-00136185-00136891 the video to Sakai in three steps can PAdZbpmA-6o-00417-00136892-00137153 you upload a video to Sakai in three PAdZbpmA-6o-00418-00137154-00137365 steps to share with your faculty and PAdZbpmA-6o-00419-00137366-00137795 students you cannot do that you probably PAdZbpmA-6o-00420-00137796-00138079 have an app for example what fire you PAdZbpmA-6o-00421-00138080-00138248 have what's red or have something else PAdZbpmA-6o-00422-00138249-00138371 you can't do that PAdZbpmA-6o-00423-00138372-00138856 but with commercial apps for example PAdZbpmA-6o-00424-00138857-00139277 throw in kick talk I think it's a kick PAdZbpmA-6o-00425-00139278-00139640 talk you can't do that add interest very PAdZbpmA-6o-00426-00139641-00140000 easily you would live with video PAdZbpmA-6o-00427-00140001-00140318 broadcasting very easily three steps so PAdZbpmA-6o-00428-00140319-00140645 it's yet to catch up you know if you PAdZbpmA-6o-00429-00140646-00140819 don't have that capability mobile PAdZbpmA-6o-00430-00140820-00141095 capability how can you implement hybrid PAdZbpmA-6o-00431-00141096-00141377 teaching learning in the classroom you PAdZbpmA-6o-00432-00141378-00141746 want a smart technology to work in the PAdZbpmA-6o-00433-00141747-00141947 classroom you need to catch up with PAdZbpmA-6o-00434-00141948-00142349 mobile technology this one I think is a PAdZbpmA-6o-00435-00142350-00142640 pretty obvious interoperability we have PAdZbpmA-6o-00436-00142641-00142907 so many tools we want to plug them into PAdZbpmA-6o-00437-00142908-00143243 Sakai and students all in fact they all PAdZbpmA-6o-00438-00143244-00143519 request this whenever they try to adopt PAdZbpmA-6o-00439-00143520-00143789 a new technology faculty be Jesse can PAdZbpmA-6o-00440-00143790-00144143 you put in Sakai they don't say that can PAdZbpmA-6o-00441-00144144-00144431 you buy it the first thing they say can PAdZbpmA-6o-00442-00144432-00144812 you put in Sakai so we can easily access PAdZbpmA-6o-00443-00144813-00145256 it we did this with turning recently we PAdZbpmA-6o-00444-00145257-00145574 still try to figure out lots of PAdZbpmA-6o-00445-00145575-00145955 interesting work they have done and then PAdZbpmA-6o-00446-00145956-00146224 recently we have this approach all PAdZbpmA-6o-00447-00146225-00146506 and some faculty also said hypothesis PAdZbpmA-6o-00448-00146507-00146715 you know the first thing is they can you PAdZbpmA-6o-00449-00146716-00146893 put in Sakai I'm gonna use it in the PAdZbpmA-6o-00450-00146894-00147070 next session that's the first thing they PAdZbpmA-6o-00451-00147071-00147658 say so and also teams right so all the PAdZbpmA-6o-00452-00147659-00147844 things to think about it PAdZbpmA-6o-00453-00147845-00148261 so you want the user experience to be PAdZbpmA-6o-00454-00148262-00148534 good so you need to really change your PAdZbpmA-6o-00455-00148535-00148912 role it's not that we set up the system PAdZbpmA-6o-00456-00148913-00149328 you use it and it's we need to adapt to PAdZbpmA-6o-00457-00149329-00149604 what the users want you know what the PAdZbpmA-6o-00458-00149605-00149920 students want what the faculty want what PAdZbpmA-6o-00459-00149921-00150201 the learning requires they want PAdZbpmA-6o-00460-00150202-00150456 simplicity they want easy navigation PAdZbpmA-6o-00461-00150457-00150823 they want a single sign-on you know once PAdZbpmA-6o-00462-00150824-00151120 does one stop for all so think about it PAdZbpmA-6o-00463-00151121-00151510 Rita yes you have five minutes left PAdZbpmA-6o-00464-00151511-00151825 oh I'm so sorry so I will just skip PAdZbpmA-6o-00465-00151826-00152035 through as few things because these are PAdZbpmA-6o-00466-00152036-00152403 all some of the major issues I don't PAdZbpmA-6o-00467-00152404-00152698 really have an answer to them okay so PAdZbpmA-6o-00468-00152699-00153172 for access privacy and security China is PAdZbpmA-6o-00469-00153173-00153475 a very unique place lots of things are PAdZbpmA-6o-00470-00153476-00153729 blocked also we need to implement the PAdZbpmA-6o-00471-00153730-00154171 VPN but still think you know can people PAdZbpmA-6o-00472-00154172-00154612 in Europe access a lot of things in PAdZbpmA-6o-00473-00154613-00154864 China so they probably cannot read PAdZbpmA-6o-00474-00154865-00155122 anything in Chinese right so language PAdZbpmA-6o-00475-00155123-00155527 also is a barrier um we try to learn PAdZbpmA-6o-00476-00155528-00155899 from all the countries if possible even PAdZbpmA-6o-00477-00155900-00156118 though our English it's a private PAdZbpmA-6o-00478-00156119-00156408 language but how can you get access to PAdZbpmA-6o-00479-00156409-00156777 materials from other countries which is PAdZbpmA-6o-00480-00156778-00157189 written in another language and also PAdZbpmA-6o-00481-00157190-00157471 collaboration already mentioned a few PAdZbpmA-6o-00482-00157472-00157756 things about communication you know PAdZbpmA-6o-00483-00157757-00158115 students with other students you need to PAdZbpmA-6o-00484-00158116-00158407 have incident messaging so that's why a PAdZbpmA-6o-00485-00158408-00158656 lot of people like teams they want to PAdZbpmA-6o-00486-00158657-00159058 implement that and and also in the PAdZbpmA-6o-00487-00159059-00159262 college you have such a tight PAdZbpmA-6o-00488-00159263-00159544 communication with your faculty in the PAdZbpmA-6o-00489-00159545-00159640 hallways PAdZbpmA-6o-00490-00159641-00159922 during launch how can you do that online PAdZbpmA-6o-00491-00159923-00160252 you have to figure something you know it PAdZbpmA-6o-00492-00160253-00160486 reminds me of the second our lives I PAdZbpmA-6o-00493-00160487-00160663 don't know if you guys remember second PAdZbpmA-6o-00494-00160664-00161041 life maybe it's the time to bring that PAdZbpmA-6o-00495-00161042-00161629 back to life so in the future at least PAdZbpmA-6o-00496-00161630-00161926 recently future in the fall we have to PAdZbpmA-6o-00497-00161927-00162202 consider resilient teaching and we PAdZbpmA-6o-00498-00162203-00162484 consider Sakaya to as the launching pad PAdZbpmA-6o-00499-00162485-00162772 for everything we need to keep it open PAdZbpmA-6o-00500-00162773-00163096 we need to make it equitable and PAdZbpmA-6o-00501-00163097-00163377 scalable accessible to everyone PAdZbpmA-6o-00502-00163378-00163774 we also need to find out how it combined PAdZbpmA-6o-00503-00163775-00164157 with the face-to-face communication and PAdZbpmA-6o-00504-00164158-00164544 how you think about the resilient PAdZbpmA-6o-00505-00164545-00165040 teaching and that will become a flexible PAdZbpmA-6o-00506-00165041-00165325 and adaptable to many different PAdZbpmA-6o-00507-00165326-00165745 scenarios so think about this what I PAdZbpmA-6o-00508-00165746-00166015 call human centered design not just PAdZbpmA-6o-00509-00166016-00166437 about administrative rules or location PAdZbpmA-6o-00510-00166438-00166834 okay so I have some resources for you PAdZbpmA-6o-00511-00166835-00167125 guys to think about I will I think I PAdZbpmA-6o-00512-00167126-00167326 already added a link in the discussion PAdZbpmA-6o-00513-00167327-00167571 forum if you want to access that I PAdZbpmA-6o-00514-00167572-00167896 highly recommend some of the things here PAdZbpmA-6o-00515-00167897-00168217 so for example the Stanford report they PAdZbpmA-6o-00516-00168218-00168532 think about different ways to run the PAdZbpmA-6o-00517-00168533-00168706 higher education so I highly recommend PAdZbpmA-6o-00518-00168707-00169087 this one okay so I believe there are PAdZbpmA-6o-00519-00169088-00169342 some questions I see some chat yeah PAdZbpmA-6o-00520-00169343-00169390 thank you PAdZbpmA-6o-00521-00169391-00169834 we said our two questions from you wait PAdZbpmA-6o-00522-00169835-00170089 why do you use great scope instead of PAdZbpmA-6o-00523-00170090-00170437 the built in Sakai gradebook oh the PAdZbpmA-6o-00524-00170438-00170917 grace code grace called accepts these PAdZbpmA-6o-00525-00170918-00171409 scans handwriting's in some of the PAdZbpmA-6o-00526-00171410-00171676 subjects the for example math and PAdZbpmA-6o-00527-00171677-00171955 chemistry the requires didn't write down PAdZbpmA-6o-00528-00171956-00172210 the process on a piece of paper then PAdZbpmA-6o-00529-00172211-00172543 students get as a PDF upload and the PAdZbpmA-6o-00530-00172544-00172792 faculty can look at it I don't think PAdZbpmA-6o-00531-00172793-00172981 it's like I can do that PAdZbpmA-6o-00532-00172982-00173496 very easily and the gray scope can also PAdZbpmA-6o-00533-00173497-00173871 men automatically grade the some of the PAdZbpmA-6o-00534-00173872-00174077 papers that recognize the handwriting PAdZbpmA-6o-00535-00174078-00174429 yeah we have one minute left there's PAdZbpmA-6o-00536-00174430-00174666 another question which you won't do PAdZbpmA-6o-00537-00174667-00174934 dates based on local time or students PAdZbpmA-6o-00538-00174935-00175221 and for that to be automatic to be more PAdZbpmA-6o-00539-00175222-00175716 inclusive I think that up to the faculty PAdZbpmA-6o-00540-00175717-00176293 to discuss that definitely could be one PAdZbpmA-6o-00541-00176294-00176535 of the options you know make it the PAdZbpmA-6o-00542-00176536-00176874 students look good time and also why PAdZbpmA-6o-00543-00176875-00177240 don't you just make it the day you know PAdZbpmA-6o-00544-00177241-00177609 finish it on Friday you know finish on PAdZbpmA-6o-00545-00177610-00177804 Friday any timeframe doing Friday PAdZbpmA-6o-00546-00177805-00178083 because everyone moves at a different PAdZbpmA-6o-00547-00178084-00178444 pace if it's a personalized learning or PAdZbpmA-6o-00548-00178445-00178872 why do you have this cutoff date cut off PAdZbpmA-6o-00549-00178873-00179158 time at a 6 p.m. so if the students I PAdZbpmA-6o-00550-00179159-00179373 made on Friday should not be good enough PAdZbpmA-6o-00551-00179374-00179670 so we have all sorts of the interesting PAdZbpmA-6o-00552-00179671-00179985 discussions about time yeah okay right PAdZbpmA-6o-00553-00179986-00180958 on time I'll stop the recording PBj-JMtd6Xo-00000-00000010-00000257 the history of Trinidad and Tobago PBj-JMtd6Xo-00001-00000258-00000440 begins with the settlements of the PBj-JMtd6Xo-00002-00000441-00000659 islands by Emmer Indians specifically PBj-JMtd6Xo-00003-00000660-00000947 the island Caribbean Arawak peoples both PBj-JMtd6Xo-00004-00000948-00001139 islands were explored by Christopher

was largely settled by PBj-JMtd6Xo-00008-00001971-00002267 French colonists Tobago changed hands PBj-JMtd6Xo-00009-00002268-00002477 between the British French Dutch and

cook and veggie lover and PLHoRqSvNty-00003-00001019-00001229 I'm choosing to take my sustainable PLHoRqSvNty-00004-00001230-00001462 reusable shopping bags when I go on the PLHoRqSvNty-00005-00001463-00001714 road it's one small act with a big PLHoRqSvNty-00006-00001716-00001913 impact towards Victoria's sustainable PLHoRqSvNty-00007-00001914-00002225 future

and waterways and they PLHoRqSvNty-00011-00002874-00003118 cause serious harm to our wildlife and PLHoRqSvNty-00012-00003119-00003281 our health PLHoRqSvNty-00013-00003282-00003503 you grab your plastic bag you use it for PLHoRqSvNty-00014-00003504-00003647 a few minutes and then you check it out PLHoRqSvNty-00015-00003647-00003845 but it stays in the environment for PLHoRqSvNty-00016-00003846-00003983 hundreds of years PLHoRqSvNty-00017-00003984-00004211 just by switching to reusable shopping PLHoRqSvNty-00018-00004212-00004420 bags and remembering to take them

your reusable bags PLHoRqSvNty-00022-00005232-00005441 happens to the best of us PLHoRqSvNty-00023-00005442-00005645 make it easy for yourself by keeping PLHoRqSvNty-00024-00005646-00005818 some at

here cooper-hewitt to talk about a PPC69ANb3K0-00060-00017900-00018211 design and how we're using design to PPC69ANb3K0-00061-00018212-00018457 grow the local economy in Detroit and PPC69ANb3K0-00062-00018458-00018702 what I love about the conversation that PPC69ANb3K0-00063-00018703-00018958 Kaiba and I are going to embark upon in PPC69ANb3K0-00064-00018959-00019213 our presentations is that you'll see how PPC69ANb3K0-00065-00019214-00019453 we're using design principles in two PPC69ANb3K0-00066-00019454-00019719 different ways I use design and the PPC69ANb3K0-00067-00019720-00019912 systems that I create for food lab PPC69ANb3K0-00068-00019913-00020169 Detroit and cable well he's an artist so PPC69ANb3K0-00069-00020170-00020403 he uses design to create beautiful PPC69ANb3K0-00070-00020404-00020671 spaces and so again it's an honor and a PPC69ANb3K0-00071-00020672-00020856 privilege for me to be here and I think PPC69ANb3K0-00072-00020857-00021130 I would be remiss if I did not also PPC69ANb3K0-00073-00021131-00021372 share with you another way that we use PPC69ANb3K0-00074-00021373-00021580 designed so Ingrid Lafleur is in the PPC69ANb3K0-00075-00021581-00021759 audience and she actually ran for mayor PPC69ANb3K0-00076-00021760-00022036 of the city of Detroit using design as a PPC69ANb3K0-00077-00022037-00022243 part of her campaign to promote PPC69ANb3K0-00078-00022244-00022459 afrofuturism and what the city of PPC69ANb3K0-00079-00022460-00022702 Detroit would look like using design in PPC69ANb3K0-00080-00022703-00022872 her campaign so we're all about design PPC69ANb3K0-00081-00022873-00022990 in Detroit I don't know what you heard PPC69ANb3K0-00082-00022991-00023284 but but Detroit is is really really PPC69ANb3K0-00083-00023285-00023464 pushing the envelope when it comes to PPC69ANb3K0-00084-00023465-00023884 design and so what I want to share with PPC69ANb3K0-00085-00023885-00024172 you for a few moments is I want to share PPC69ANb3K0-00086-00024173-00024514 with you what a food base inclusive PPC69ANb3K0-00087-00024515-00024838 economy looks like so what is a food PPC69ANb3K0-00088-00024839-00025153 based inclusive economy it's one that PPC69ANb3K0-00089-00025154-00025525 from farm-to-table from processing all PPC69ANb3K0-00090-00025526-00025794 the way to composting ensures economic PPC69ANb3K0-00091-00025795-00026125 opportunity high-quality jobs with PPC69ANb3K0-00092-00026126-00026467 living wages safe working conditions PPC69ANb3K0-00093-00026468-00026692 access the healthy affordable and PPC69ANb3K0-00094-00026693-00027045 culturally appropriate food and it's PPC69ANb3K0-00095-00027045-00027414 environmentally sustainable and so for a PPC69ANb3K0-00096-00027416-00027562 few minutes I want to share with you a PPC69ANb3K0-00097-00027563-00027927 story a story about how fool AB Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00098-00027928-00028306 design systems to support a community at PPC69ANb3K0-00099-00028307-00028549 scale a food businesses that are PPC69ANb3K0-00100-00028550-00028824 creating this food base inclusive PPC69ANb3K0-00101-00028825-00029202 economy and so as it was already PPC69ANb3K0-00102-00029203-00029421 indicated I am a daughter of good PPC69ANb3K0-00103-00029422-00029629 straight Michigan I was born and raised PPC69ANb3K0-00104-00029630-00029980 in Detroit and the city where I was born PPC69ANb3K0-00105-00029981-00030379 and raised in the 1950s was the world's PPC69ANb3K0-00106-00030380-00030774 industrial giant it had a population in PPC69ANb3K0-00107-00030775-00031117 the 1950s of about 1.8 million people PPC69ANb3K0-00108-00031118-00031395 and we had a hundred and forty square PPC69ANb3K0-00109-00031397-00031711 miles of infrastructure that was used to PPC69ANb3K0-00110-00031712-00031987 support this booming Midwestern Center PPC69ANb3K0-00111-00031988-00032242 this is a picture of the Packard Plant PPC69ANb3K0-00112-00032243-00032752 in 1950 and now just a half a century PPC69ANb3K0-00113-00032752-00033068 later this is the Packard Plant in PPC69ANb3K0-00114-00033069-00033333 Detroit unfortunately has become PPC69ANb3K0-00115-00033334-00033676 somewhat of a poster child of urban PPC69ANb3K0-00116-00033677-00034139 decay and as a result of this Detroit is PPC69ANb3K0-00117-00034140-00034555 now a population that is no longer 1.8 PPC69ANb3K0-00118-00034556-00034614 million PPC69ANb3K0-00119-00034615-00034846 Detroit has a population of about six PPC69ANb3K0-00120-00034847-00035027 hundred and eighty thousand of which PPC69ANb3K0-00121-00035028-00035221 eighty four percent are african-american PPC69ANb3K0-00122-00035222-00035635 and due to decades of disinvestment in PPC69ANb3K0-00123-00035636-00035946 the city and capital flight that left PPC69ANb3K0-00124-00035947-00036151 the city for the sober Detroit is PPC69ANb3K0-00125-00036152-00036373 severely lacking them it's lacking PPC69ANb3K0-00126-00036374-00036637 retail and for me and the work that I do PPC69ANb3K0-00127-00036638-00036858 I concentrate on the fact that Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00128-00036859-00037255 is lacking fresh food retail because I PPC69ANb3K0-00129-00037256-00037492 know in a city that is lacking fresh PPC69ANb3K0-00130-00037493-00037696 food retail there's a couple of things PPC69ANb3K0-00131-00037697-00038005 that occur what occurs is that 70 PPC69ANb3K0-00132-00038006-00038214 percent of Detroit adults are obese and PPC69ANb3K0-00133-00038215-00038452 overweight and they struggle to easily PPC69ANb3K0-00134-00038453-00038671 access nutritious food that they need to PPC69ANb3K0-00135-00038672-00038898 stay healthy and to prevent premature PPC69ANb3K0-00136-00038899-00039205 diet related diseases I know that far PPC69ANb3K0-00137-00039206-00039385 too many Detroiters who live closer to PPC69ANb3K0-00138-00039386-00039568 fast food restaurants and convenience PPC69ANb3K0-00139-00039569-00039783 stores and gas stations where they shop PPC69ANb3K0-00140-00039784-00039829 for food PPC69ANb3K0-00141-00039830-00040045 than they do full-service grocery stores PPC69ANb3K0-00142-00040046-00040273 I know that you're more likely to find PPC69ANb3K0-00143-00040274-00040527 high-quality produce in our neighboring PPC69ANb3K0-00144-00040528-00040807 suburbs than you would in Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00145-00040808-00041089 neighborhoods and I know that all of PPC69ANb3K0-00146-00041090-00041461 this in some ways our distinguishing PPC69ANb3K0-00147-00041462-00041767 characteristics of my city and I know PPC69ANb3K0-00148-00041768-00041943 that it's not a good story but this is PPC69ANb3K0-00149-00041944-00042105 not the story that I've come to the PPC69ANb3K0-00150-00042106-00042414 cooper-hewitt detail no the story that I PPC69ANb3K0-00151-00042415-00042687 want to tell was a story about changing PPC69ANb3K0-00152-00042688-00042889 transformation through design and how PPC69ANb3K0-00153-00042890-00043077 urban agriculture and food PPC69ANb3K0-00154-00043078-00043380 entrepreneurship it's changing the city PPC69ANb3K0-00155-00043381-00043714 of Detroit and because of Detroit's PPC69ANb3K0-00156-00043715-00043885 history that I just shared with you PPC69ANb3K0-00157-00043886-00044104 Detroit finds itself with some unique PPC69ANb3K0-00158-00044105-00044370 assets that is based around the design PPC69ANb3K0-00159-00044371-00044710 of the city because of the design of PPC69ANb3K0-00160-00044711-00045118 Detroit it now has a lot of open land I PPC69ANb3K0-00161-00045119-00045361 don't know how many people in this room PPC69ANb3K0-00162-00045362-00045574 knew that the topography of Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00163-00045575-00045840 Michigan 140 square miles that you can PPC69ANb3K0-00164-00045841-00046083 fit the entire city of Boston the entire PPC69ANb3K0-00165-00046084-00046305 city of San Francisco and the borough of PPC69ANb3K0-00166-00046306-00046714 Manhattan in the land area of the city PPC69ANb3K0-00167-00046715-00047137 of Detroit and that estimates probably PPC69ANb3K0-00168-00047138-00047451 folks are saying probably of that PPC69ANb3K0-00169-00047452-00047730 landmass 40 square miles in Detroit are PPC69ANb3K0-00170-00047731-00048124 vacant that's a quarter to a third of PPC69ANb3K0-00171-00048125-00048289 the city that's the design that we're PPC69ANb3K0-00172-00048290-00048495 working with and that's a level of PPC69ANb3K0-00173-00048496-00048679 emptiness that creates a landscape PPC69ANb3K0-00174-00048680-00048973 unlike any other big city but here are PPC69ANb3K0-00175-00048974-00049192 the assets that we have in Detroit in PPC69ANb3K0-00176-00049193-00049599 Detroit we have fertile soil we are PPC69ANb3K0-00177-00049600-00049942 approximate to water we have willing PPC69ANb3K0-00178-00049943-00050230 labor and we have a desperate demand for PPC69ANb3K0-00179-00050231-00050554 fresh healthy food and that my friends PPC69ANb3K0-00180-00050555-00050860 has created a people power to grassroots PPC69ANb3K0-00181-00050861-00051124 movement in my city that's actively PPC69ANb3K0-00182-00051125-00051345 working to turn what was once the PPC69ANb3K0-00183-00051346-00051625 capital of American industry into what I PPC69ANb3K0-00184-00051626-00051891 want to call an agrarian paradise in PPC69ANb3K0-00185-00051892-00052329 fact if I could brag I would say and I PPC69ANb3K0-00186-00052330-00052549 know I'm a little biased but the city of PPC69ANb3K0-00187-00052550-00052822 Detroit I believe out of all the cities PPC69ANb3K0-00188-00052823-00052917 in the world PPC69ANb3K0-00189-00052919-00053096 Detroit may be best PPC69ANb3K0-00190-00053097-00053348 Shinda and designed right now to serve PPC69ANb3K0-00191-00053349-00053530 as the world's urban exemplar food PPC69ANb3K0-00192-00053531-00053965 security and sustainable development so PPC69ANb3K0-00193-00053966-00054322 let me make something perfectly clear PPC69ANb3K0-00194-00054323-00054599 for those of us who are working in PPC69ANb3K0-00195-00054600-00054872 Detroit's urban agricultural movement PPC69ANb3K0-00196-00054873-00055253 our goal is for the future of Detroit to PPC69ANb3K0-00197-00055254-00055661 be designed for us to create us to PPC69ANb3K0-00198-00055662-00056015 create an ecosystem that will ensure PPC69ANb3K0-00199-00056016-00056222 that Detroit Michigan becomes the most PPC69ANb3K0-00200-00056223-00056447 food secure and sustainable city on PPC69ANb3K0-00201-00056448-00056798 planet Earth and I say us because I PPC69ANb3K0-00202-00056799-00057094 believe that the work that we do at Food PPC69ANb3K0-00203-00057095-00057323 Lab Detroit is really leveraging the PPC69ANb3K0-00204-00057324-00057493 work of our urban agriculture and our PPC69ANb3K0-00205-00057494-00057754 farmers and I think that the most PPC69ANb3K0-00206-00057755-00057988 innovative element of food lab Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00207-00057989-00058231 this incubator that incubates probably PPC69ANb3K0-00208-00058232-00058438 about 200 small business the most PPC69ANb3K0-00209-00058439-00058646 innovative element about food laboratory PPC69ANb3K0-00210-00058647-00058855 can be summed up in this African proverb PPC69ANb3K0-00211-00058856-00059137 that says nothing about us without us as PPC69ANb3K0-00212-00059138-00059654 for us in that design process is very PPC69ANb3K0-00213-00059654-00059905 important because here's the thing at PPC69ANb3K0-00214-00059906-00060244 Food Lab we understand that many times PPC69ANb3K0-00215-00060245-00060629 was missing from the design the PPC69ANb3K0-00216-00060629-00060913 deployment and the management of many of PPC69ANb3K0-00217-00060914-00061126 these kind of alternative food PPC69ANb3K0-00218-00061127-00061342 initiatives is any recognition that PPC69ANb3K0-00219-00061343-00061579 inequity in the food system is centrally PPC69ANb3K0-00220-00061580-00061825 linked to histories of racial economic PPC69ANb3K0-00221-00061826-00062260 discrimination many programs often lack PPC69ANb3K0-00222-00062261-00062504 substantive participation from those PPC69ANb3K0-00223-00062504-00062788 community members who actually face the PPC69ANb3K0-00224-00062789-00063031 challenges of food injustice themselves PPC69ANb3K0-00225-00063032-00063301 so what you have and they are not PPC69ANb3K0-00226-00063302-00063548 centered in a design process what you PPC69ANb3K0-00227-00063549-00063787 will get is you'll get these alternative PPC69ANb3K0-00228-00063788-00064040 food initiatives that tend to benefit PPC69ANb3K0-00229-00064041-00064223 mostly white folks who are already PPC69ANb3K0-00230-00064224-00064507 economically secure and already healthy PPC69ANb3K0-00231-00064508-00064849 if you don't design a system that puts PPC69ANb3K0-00232-00064850-00065092 those who are most infected or affected PPC69ANb3K0-00233-00065093-00065396 in the middle so what we at foo lab have PPC69ANb3K0-00234-00065397-00065617 decided to do is that we want to put PPC69ANb3K0-00235-00065618-00065830 those individuals entrepreneurs PPC69ANb3K0-00236-00065831-00066011 community leaders activists in the PPC69ANb3K0-00237-00066012-00066359 center of our design so we've created in PPC69ANb3K0-00238-00066360-00066464 what we call an PPC69ANb3K0-00239-00066465-00066647 witty framework we have an equity PPC69ANb3K0-00240-00066648-00066872 profile and that informs our design PPC69ANb3K0-00241-00066873-00067145 process which has resulted in developing PPC69ANb3K0-00242-00067146-00067370 tools that allow us to develop a set of PPC69ANb3K0-00243-00067371-00067535 what we call community based solutions PPC69ANb3K0-00244-00067536-00067862 that might help transform the very PPC69ANb3K0-00245-00067863-00068210 political and economic systems that had PPC69ANb3K0-00246-00068211-00068399 historically oppressed low-income and PPC69ANb3K0-00247-00068400-00068651 ethnic minority communities across the PPC69ANb3K0-00248-00068652-00069020 Troy so in my in my last few minutes PPC69ANb3K0-00249-00069021-00069239 what I want to do is I want to take you PPC69ANb3K0-00250-00069240-00069653 inside a flute lapse process and I want PPC69ANb3K0-00251-00069654-00069917 to show you the results of what it looks PPC69ANb3K0-00252-00069918-00070280 like when you design a system that sets PPC69ANb3K0-00253-00070281-00070574 out to empower local small business PPC69ANb3K0-00254-00070575-00070826 leaders to move the needle for poor PPC69ANb3K0-00255-00070827-00071027 communities of people of color let me PPC69ANb3K0-00256-00071028-00071267 take you into our process the very first PPC69ANb3K0-00257-00071268-00071402 thing you have to do when you are PPC69ANb3K0-00258-00071403-00071741 designing a process or methodology that PPC69ANb3K0-00259-00071742-00071957 we like to consider at Food Lab design PPC69ANb3K0-00260-00071958-00072245 thinking and that it requires empathy PPC69ANb3K0-00261-00072246-00072557 that's the first thing it's important to PPC69ANb3K0-00262-00072558-00072908 understand the user you need to see the PPC69ANb3K0-00263-00072909-00073265 solution from the users perspective this PPC69ANb3K0-00264-00073266-00073517 is a picture of Detroit vegan so why is PPC69ANb3K0-00265-00073518-00073814 this so important because the user of PPC69ANb3K0-00266-00073815-00074114 Detroit vegan so the consumer of Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00267-00074115-00074363 vegan so what the founders of Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-00268-00074364-00074690 vegan zone Erica and Kirsten found in PPC69ANb3K0-00269-00074691-00074903 Detroit vegan soul because based upon PPC69ANb3K0-00270-00074904-00075214 their reality their parents themselves PPC69ANb3K0-00271-00075215-00075422 they were suffering from high blood PPC69ANb3K0-00272-00075423-00075734 pressure diabetes and so they wanted to PPC69ANb3K0-00273-00075735-00076007 create a vegan soul food restaurant that PPC69ANb3K0-00274-00076008-00076232 was very much about culture still PPC69ANb3K0-00275-00076233-00076457 keeping that soul food element but PPC69ANb3K0-00276-00076458-00076742 taking a plant-based approach in making PPC69ANb3K0-00277-00076743-00077072 soul food vegan and still having the PPC69ANb3K0-00278-00077073-00077411 flavor of it they were the user so they PPC69ANb3K0-00279-00077412-00077711 design a restaurant based around what PPC69ANb3K0-00280-00077712-00077927 they were experiencing for themselves PPC69ANb3K0-00281-00077928-00078200 they first opened up a restaurant on the PPC69ANb3K0-00282-00078201-00078434 east side of Detroit this picture is PPC69ANb3K0-00283-00078435-00078656 their second location on the west side PPC69ANb3K0-00284-00078657-00078836 of your choice they're also working on a PPC69ANb3K0-00285-00078837-00079094 third location Detroit it is because PPC69ANb3K0-00286-00079095-00079349 when you design a APE if you have a PPC69ANb3K0-00287-00079350-00079610 problem and you design a solution with PPC69ANb3K0-00288-00079611-00079712 the user in mind PPC69ANb3K0-00289-00079713-00079841 while the user and you're speaking to a PPC69ANb3K0-00290-00079842-00080075 community this is how you can grow and PPC69ANb3K0-00291-00080076-00080381 scale a business the second kind of PPC69ANb3K0-00292-00080382-00080582 philosophy that we take a look at in our PPC69ANb3K0-00293-00080583-00080798 design process is that Design Thinking PPC69ANb3K0-00294-00080799-00081059 requires the ability to put across a PPC69ANb3K0-00295-00081060-00081404 story it is an iterative process and it PPC69ANb3K0-00296-00081405-00081599 requires the understanding of the PPC69ANb3K0-00297-00081600-00081788 problem you have to not only understand PPC69ANb3K0-00298-00081789-00081959 the problem but you have also have PPC69ANb3K0-00299-00081960-00082197 constantly got to be looking for PPC69ANb3K0-00300-00082198-00082515 solutions and you can't do that by not PPC69ANb3K0-00301-00082516-00082746 talking and thinking and put other PPC69ANb3K0-00302-00082747-00082925 people so this is what we did at Food PPC69ANb3K0-00303-00082926-00083174 Lab we knew there was a problem but we PPC69ANb3K0-00304-00083175-00083334 knew that we can also find a solution PPC69ANb3K0-00305-00083335-00083516 what was the problem well in Detroit we PPC69ANb3K0-00306-00083517-00083796 have over 1,500 urban gardens and farms PPC69ANb3K0-00307-00083797-00084009 in the city of Detroit and we work with PPC69ANb3K0-00308-00084010-00084176 one of our sister organizations that's PPC69ANb3K0-00309-00084177-00084380 called keep growing Detroit they do for PPC69ANb3K0-00310-00084381-00084536 farmers what Food Lab does for PPC69ANb3K0-00311-00084537-00084749 entrepreneurs and these are farmers in PPC69ANb3K0-00312-00084750-00084941 the city of Detroit who want to not only PPC69ANb3K0-00313-00084942-00085190 farm but they want to make farming an PPC69ANb3K0-00314-00085191-00085448 economical viable business model for PPC69ANb3K0-00315-00085449-00085673 them they want to live off of farming PPC69ANb3K0-00316-00085674-00085904 and so there was a problem and the PPC69ANb3K0-00317-00085905-00086172 problem was is that many of the farmers PPC69ANb3K0-00318-00086173-00086385 as they were growing they did not have a PPC69ANb3K0-00319-00086386-00086585 market where they could sell their PPC69ANb3K0-00320-00086586-00086828 produce outside of maybe farmers markets PPC69ANb3K0-00321-00086829-00087068 or maybe community markets they wanted PPC69ANb3K0-00322-00087069-00087272 to create other markets so this is where PPC69ANb3K0-00323-00087273-00087518 food lab came in keep growing Detroit in PPC69ANb3K0-00324-00087519-00087660 food lab came together and we set PPC69ANb3K0-00325-00087661-00087893 ourselves there's a problem we need to PPC69ANb3K0-00326-00087894-00088151 grow the market for Detroit farmers so PPC69ANb3K0-00327-00088152-00088322 we created a program that was called PPC69ANb3K0-00328-00088323-00088671 Detroit grown and made that program is PPC69ANb3K0-00329-00088672-00088949 when Food Lab entrepreneurs who are PPC69ANb3K0-00330-00088950-00089097 growing and scaling their business PPC69ANb3K0-00331-00089098-00089328 locally sourced their produce from PPC69ANb3K0-00332-00089329-00089579 Detroit farmers and food lab serves as a PPC69ANb3K0-00333-00089580-00089915 supply intermediary between the farmer PPC69ANb3K0-00334-00089916-00090246 and the entrepreneur this is a picture PPC69ANb3K0-00335-00090247-00090510 of one of our entrepreneurs who locally PPC69ANb3K0-00336-00090511-00090800 sources some Michigan wild ginger from a PPC69ANb3K0-00337-00090801-00091013 farmer who grows nothing but ginger for PPC69ANb3K0-00338-00091014-00091262 jest McCleary and what does she do she PPC69ANb3K0-00339-00091263-00091598 uses this in her what we call consumer PPC69ANb3K0-00340-00091599-00091859 packaged good which is called McCleary PPC69ANb3K0-00341-00091860-00092084 bros it's the tasting vinegar it's a PPC69ANb3K0-00342-00092085-00092267 cocktail shrub you can use it for PPC69ANb3K0-00343-00092268-00092444 marinades you can make vinaigrettes PPC69ANb3K0-00344-00092445-00092672 working you can use it in a cocktail for PPC69ANb3K0-00345-00092673-00092852 an old-fashioned cocktail as a matter of PPC69ANb3K0-00346-00092853-00093036 fact it was just picked PPC69ANb3K0-00347-00093037-00093285 up from a national retailer called West PPC69ANb3K0-00348-00093286-00093600 Elm so you can now find McCleary bros at PPC69ANb3K0-00349-00093601-00093837 West Elm and here's the thing this is PPC69ANb3K0-00350-00093838-00094053 where Design Thinking comes in right if PPC69ANb3K0-00351-00094054-00094275 you pull one lever what happens on the PPC69ANb3K0-00352-00094276-00094512 other side it's called a rising tide PPC69ANb3K0-00353-00094513-00094638 lifts all boats PPC69ANb3K0-00354-00094639-00094863 so as jess McCleary begins to grow her PPC69ANb3K0-00355-00094864-00095139 business right she's now a hundred and PPC69ANb3K0-00356-00095140-00095387 ninety five stores across the country PPC69ANb3K0-00357-00095388-00095709 twenty two states what do you think that PPC69ANb3K0-00358-00095710-00095919 does for the farmers in detroit where PPC69ANb3K0-00359-00095920-00096114 she locally sources her products from PPC69ANb3K0-00360-00096115-00096387 right and she does well they do well PPC69ANb3K0-00361-00096388-00096711 also but we weren't able to find a PPC69ANb3K0-00362-00096712-00096930 solution to that problem until you sit PPC69ANb3K0-00363-00096931-00097101 down the entrepreneur and you sit down PPC69ANb3K0-00364-00097102-00097284 the farmer and they build relationships PPC69ANb3K0-00365-00097285-00097521 and figure out how to work together PPC69ANb3K0-00366-00097522-00097832 the third really really important PPC69ANb3K0-00367-00097833-00098055 component in our design process a food PPC69ANb3K0-00368-00098056-00098223 lab is that when we are designing PPC69ANb3K0-00369-00098224-00098507 systems we intentionally put together PPC69ANb3K0-00370-00098508-00098817 what we call unlikely bedfellows people PPC69ANb3K0-00371-00098818-00099048 who would have never met if it wasn't PPC69ANb3K0-00372-00099049-00099159 for the fact that they were a part of PPC69ANb3K0-00373-00099160-00099345 food lab detroit they bring together PPC69ANb3K0-00374-00099346-00099657 diverse perspectives many of them who PPC69ANb3K0-00375-00099658-00099828 had never worked together but when they PPC69ANb3K0-00376-00099829-00100035 begin to talk when they begin to work PPC69ANb3K0-00377-00100036-00100200 together they find out that there are PPC69ANb3K0-00378-00100201-00100413 more differences between there are more PPC69ANb3K0-00379-00100414-00100581 things that they have in common than PPC69ANb3K0-00380-00100582-00100812 they do differences this is a picture of PPC69ANb3K0-00381-00100813-00101049 April Anderson who owns good cakes and PPC69ANb3K0-00382-00101050-00101316 bakes and Shannon Byrd who owns slow PPC69ANb3K0-00383-00101317-00101628 jams shannon has a jam company April has PPC69ANb3K0-00384-00101629-00101856 a brick-and-mortar that's called good PPC69ANb3K0-00385-00101857-00102060 cakes and bakes that's on Livernois the PPC69ANb3K0-00386-00102061-00102291 thing that they found out that they have PPC69ANb3K0-00387-00102292-00102533 in common in this particular work group PPC69ANb3K0-00388-00102534-00102746 that we were having is that they both PPC69ANb3K0-00389-00102747-00103079 hire individuals who have high barriers PPC69ANb3K0-00390-00103080-00103292 to unemployment and they both happen to PPC69ANb3K0-00391-00103293-00103601 be men shannon was bringing on young men PPC69ANb3K0-00392-00103602-00103868 training them who had been high school PPC69ANb3K0-00393-00103869-00104139 dropouts April was hiring men who were PPC69ANb3K0-00394-00104140-00104342 returning citizens coming back into the PPC69ANb3K0-00395-00104343-00104618 community community and they did not PPC69ANb3K0-00396-00104619-00104874 realize that they could form a training PPC69ANb3K0-00397-00104875-00105059 program where they could work together PPC69ANb3K0-00398-00105060-00105597 to hire and also train food not only to PPC69ANb3K0-00399-00105598-00105866 be to grow in their businesses but offer PPC69ANb3K0-00400-00105867-00106208 good jobs as well for both slow-jam PPC69ANb3K0-00401-00106208-00106397 also good cakes and bakes but that PPC69ANb3K0-00402-00106398-00106619 doesn't happen unless you design a PPC69ANb3K0-00403-00106620-00106834 process where you are intentionally PPC69ANb3K0-00404-00106835-00107045 putting people together in the same room PPC69ANb3K0-00405-00107046-00107276 so they can talk and I would say that PPC69ANb3K0-00406-00107277-00107485 the last thing that was important not PPC69ANb3K0-00407-00107486-00107633 the last thing but the second to last PPC69ANb3K0-00408-00107633-00107819 thing I think is most important is PPC69ANb3K0-00409-00107820-00108128 humility every year food lab PPC69ANb3K0-00410-00108129-00108314 entrepreneurs and we all come together PPC69ANb3K0-00411-00108315-00108535 as something we call our annual PPC69ANb3K0-00412-00108536-00108788 membership summit and sometimes the PPC69ANb3K0-00413-00108789-00109006 problems and the challenges can be so PPC69ANb3K0-00414-00109007-00109241 overwhelming for one food entrepreneur PPC69ANb3K0-00415-00109242-00109427 but they may not be able to see to see PPC69ANb3K0-00416-00109428-00109622 the light at the end of the tunnel but PPC69ANb3K0-00417-00109623-00109928 humility is so important and that is PPC69ANb3K0-00418-00109929-00110150 that you have to have an attitude that PPC69ANb3K0-00419-00110151-00110444 allows you to go for a preconceived PPC69ANb3K0-00420-00110445-00110747 notion about not what's impossible but PPC69ANb3K0-00421-00110748-00111034 what is possible and so we bring our PPC69ANb3K0-00422-00111035-00111283 entrepreneurs together and what we do is PPC69ANb3K0-00423-00111284-00111638 we vision together and we know that when PPC69ANb3K0-00424-00111639-00111857 we work together what one entrepreneur PPC69ANb3K0-00425-00111858-00112100 may not be able to do on their own PPC69ANb3K0-00426-00112101-00112384 they ask for help from the community and PPC69ANb3K0-00427-00112385-00112643 we decide on one project that we're PPC69ANb3K0-00428-00112644-00112889 going to work together as a community to PPC69ANb3K0-00429-00112890-00113110 move it forward so they can see the PPC69ANb3K0-00430-00113111-00113308 possibility of what they thought was PPC69ANb3K0-00431-00113309-00113627 impossible and then once you have a PPC69ANb3K0-00432-00113628-00113855 design process and you've gone through PPC69ANb3K0-00433-00113856-00114092 when you design the process and you've PPC69ANb3K0-00434-00114093-00114310 done some type of iteration and you put PPC69ANb3K0-00435-00114311-00114374 it on paper PPC69ANb3K0-00436-00114375-00114554 I think the most important thing you PPC69ANb3K0-00437-00114555-00114740 have to do in a design process is you've PPC69ANb3K0-00438-00114741-00114953 got a prototype to thing you got to see PPC69ANb3K0-00439-00114954-00115154 if it works and one of the things that PPC69ANb3K0-00440-00115155-00115400 way food entrepreneurs prototype is that PPC69ANb3K0-00441-00115401-00115628 we do pop ups here's a picture of Mako PPC69ANb3K0-00442-00115629-00115766 and her partner and what you see behind PPC69ANb3K0-00443-00115767-00116158 her is an Airstream and so Mako does pop PPC69ANb3K0-00444-00116159-00116489 ups at a farm that's called the farm is PPC69ANb3K0-00445-00116490-00116654 am laying in Corktown PPC69ANb3K0-00446-00116655-00116855 but the name of her Airstream trailer PPC69ANb3K0-00447-00116856-00116966 and her business is called pink PPC69ANb3K0-00448-00116967-00117143 flamingos so she doesn't have a PPC69ANb3K0-00449-00117144-00117341 restaurant well she doesn't she pops up PPC69ANb3K0-00450-00117342-00117515 out of her Airstream on every Thursday PPC69ANb3K0-00451-00117516-00117740 she's working toward a restaurant she's PPC69ANb3K0-00452-00117741-00117971 trying to get consumer validation she's PPC69ANb3K0-00453-00117972-00118208 trying to analyze the market she's PPC69ANb3K0-00454-00118208-00118424 trying to test out her menu she's trying PPC69ANb3K0-00455-00118425-00118669 to see who her consumer is it is PPC69ANb3K0-00456-00118670-00119021 prototyping an idea before you do the PPC69ANb3K0-00457-00119022-00119198 full-fledged launch of that PPC69ANb3K0-00458-00119199-00119485 and here's the deal phoo lab Detroit it PPC69ANb3K0-00459-00119486-00119696 can we consist of about 200 small PPC69ANb3K0-00460-00119697-00119939 locally owned food businesses burgeoning PPC69ANb3K0-00461-00119940-00120164 food entrepreneurs we provide hands-on PPC69ANb3K0-00462-00120165-00120433 education resources to help these PPC69ANb3K0-00463-00120434-00120661 entrepreneurs start and scale healthy PPC69ANb3K0-00464-00120663-00120998 food businesses last year alone these PPC69ANb3K0-00465-00120999-00121226 small businesses they generated almost PPC69ANb3K0-00466-00121227-00121483 8.2 million dollars in annual revenue PPC69ANb3K0-00467-00121484-00121858 and they hired about 252 Detroiters and PPC69ANb3K0-00468-00121859-00122209 provided jobs for Detroiters right this PPC69ANb3K0-00469-00122210-00122479 is how you build a local economic PPC69ANb3K0-00470-00122480-00122641 development and community development PPC69ANb3K0-00471-00122642-00122849 strategy and I know the examples that PPC69ANb3K0-00472-00122850-00123052 I've given you good cakes and makes PPC69ANb3K0-00473-00123053-00123374 Detroit vegan so slow-jam these are just PPC69ANb3K0-00474-00123375-00123722 a small examples but these are stories PPC69ANb3K0-00475-00123723-00124066 about how you begin to build an PPC69ANb3K0-00476-00124067-00124363 ecosystem that creates an economy in a PPC69ANb3K0-00477-00124364-00124591 places in spaces that were left vacant PPC69ANb3K0-00478-00124592-00124834 by the disagree disintegration of the OU PPC69ANb3K0-00479-00124835-00125140 and more importantly this is how you PPC69ANb3K0-00480-00125141-00125566 also build participation amongst those PPC69ANb3K0-00481-00125567-00125827 individuals who are building businesses PPC69ANb3K0-00482-00125828-00126085 and want to create a community and so PPC69ANb3K0-00483-00126086-00126308 last but not least what I'll say is that PPC69ANb3K0-00484-00126308-00126593 I am NOT here to tell you that designing

PPC69ANb3K0-00535-00144951-00145313 ago when I began to roast coffee and PPC69ANb3K0-00536-00145314-00145640 learn that side of it up to that point I PPC69ANb3K0-00537-00145641-00146186 had operated coffee shops gorilla cafe PPC69ANb3K0-00538-00146187-00146483 chasing Lions Cafe decided to take a PPC69ANb3K0-00539-00146484-00146911 step back into the food value chain and PPC69ANb3K0-00540-00146912-00147569 to learn how to roast coffee so to do PPC69ANb3K0-00541-00147570-00147938 that I needed a space and luckily I had PPC69ANb3K0-00542-00147939-00148439 a room in my garage and and I applied PPC69ANb3K0-00543-00148440-00148733 and I developed this room into a coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00544-00148734-00149249 dojo a dojo is Japanese for a room where PPC69ANb3K0-00545-00149250-00149651 you train in your arts martial arts but PPC69ANb3K0-00546-00149652-00150104 in this case the culinary arts so this PPC69ANb3K0-00547-00150105-00150251 is the room PPC69ANb3K0-00548-00150252-00150658 it was stores a storage room surrounded PPC69ANb3K0-00549-00150659-00151043 by a garden in our yard in our home in PPC69ANb3K0-00550-00151044-00151544 the foo Belle district so much like my PPC69ANb3K0-00551-00151545-00151904 artwork one of my design principles of PPC69ANb3K0-00552-00151905-00152240 building principles is by using salvaged PPC69ANb3K0-00553-00152241-00152650 materials wood you know fixtures PPC69ANb3K0-00554-00152651-00152986 whenever like whenever I can PPC69ANb3K0-00555-00152987-00153445 so the door so this door this room is PPC69ANb3K0-00556-00153446-00153908 about six foot tall and depending on the PPC69ANb3K0-00557-00153909-00154145 shoes I'm wearing I'll be about six foot PPC69ANb3K0-00558-00154146-00154475 tall so so a lot of people would knock PPC69ANb3K0-00559-00154476-00154628 their head when they walk through here PPC69ANb3K0-00560-00154629-00154922 so at first I wrote the word duck and PPC69ANb3K0-00561-00154923-00155147 then I was like no how about PPC69ANb3K0-00562-00155148-00155455 Wow and you know so sometimes we have PPC69ANb3K0-00563-00155456-00155762 design challenges and it's really it's PPC69ANb3K0-00564-00155763-00155921 really just the perspective that we PPC69ANb3K0-00565-00155922-00156200 bring to work through to work through PPC69ANb3K0-00566-00156201-00156239 there PPC69ANb3K0-00567-00156240-00156686 and the angel is in the details you know PPC69ANb3K0-00568-00156687-00157100 so it's a lot of fun to to to play with PPC69ANb3K0-00569-00157101-00157310 the detail so I don't know if you PPC69ANb3K0-00570-00157311-00157562 everyone reckon recognizes this tool but PPC69ANb3K0-00571-00157563-00157775 it's what the barista will use to tamp PPC69ANb3K0-00572-00157776-00157985 down the coffee when they pull a shot of PPC69ANb3K0-00573-00157986-00158465 espresso and it's a door handle so once PPC69ANb3K0-00574-00158466-00158729 we built it now it's time to start PPC69ANb3K0-00575-00158730-00159035 training so this is Solomon Tyson my PPC69ANb3K0-00576-00159036-00159359 coffee roasting apprentice who started PPC69ANb3K0-00577-00159360-00159644 in after-school arts program where we PPC69ANb3K0-00578-00159645-00159994 met and and we became friends and PPC69ANb3K0-00579-00159995-00160415 training in martial arts which is unique PPC69ANb3K0-00580-00160416-00160835 because he's in a wheelchair but he had PPC69ANb3K0-00581-00160836-00161210 a he had a he had a sense for it and so PPC69ANb3K0-00582-00161211-00161465 we we became friends in that in that PPC69ANb3K0-00583-00161466-00161819 context he got a job as a cashier at PPC69ANb3K0-00584-00161820-00162128 chasing Lions cafe and then as a barista PPC69ANb3K0-00585-00162129-00162335 he was the only one there drinking PPC69ANb3K0-00586-00162336-00162611 straight espresso so I knew he was PPC69ANb3K0-00587-00162612-00162803 developing his palate I invited him to PPC69ANb3K0-00588-00162804-00163103 be my roasting apprentice in the dojo PPC69ANb3K0-00589-00163104-00163526 and you know we're big believer in each PPC69ANb3K0-00590-00163527-00164641 one teach one so what we do is we roast PPC69ANb3K0-00591-00164642-00165098 we taste evaluate adjust and repeat PPC69ANb3K0-00592-00165099-00165581 until we created the flavor profiles PPC69ANb3K0-00593-00165582-00165866 that we needed to replace the coffee's PPC69ANb3K0-00594-00165867-00166085 that were each of my coffee shops so at PPC69ANb3K0-00595-00166086-00166298 the time that we birthed Red Bay coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00596-00166299-00166786 I had two coffee shops and our highest PPC69ANb3K0-00597-00166787-00167234 invoice was that of our coffee producers PPC69ANb3K0-00598-00167235-00167660 are four Coffee Roasters so so you know PPC69ANb3K0-00599-00167661-00167957 but I chose two of the best Coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00600-00167958-00168293 Roasters in our area which is some of PPC69ANb3K0-00601-00168294-00168456 the best coffee in the PPC69ANb3K0-00602-00168457-00168618 world in Northern California is a very PPC69ANb3K0-00603-00168619-00168774 competitive environment PPC69ANb3K0-00604-00168775-00169185 so I had a very high bar to create to PPC69ANb3K0-00605-00169186-00169593 pass in order to you know to to enter PPC69ANb3K0-00606-00169594-00169814 that market there my own coffee there PPC69ANb3K0-00607-00169815-00170012 are my own coffee shops but still I PPC69ANb3K0-00608-00170013-00170339 needed to step up properly so we would PPC69ANb3K0-00609-00170340-00170721 roast in develop in train in the dojo PPC69ANb3K0-00610-00170722-00171069 until we've got results that we feel PPC69ANb3K0-00611-00171070-00171377 like we could present so you know once PPC69ANb3K0-00612-00171378-00171550 Mian Solomon worked through that process PPC69ANb3K0-00613-00171551-00171861 then we got to work and started PPC69ANb3K0-00614-00171862-00172166 producing and start to to scale up so PPC69ANb3K0-00615-00172167-00172400 this was the place that we would develop PPC69ANb3K0-00616-00172401-00172686 the profiles we had a sort of a PPC69ANb3K0-00617-00172687-00172874 commercial kitchen where we can go out PPC69ANb3K0-00618-00172875-00173228 and and produce and larger scales we PPC69ANb3K0-00619-00173229-00173723 would come here bag it up and deliver it PPC69ANb3K0-00620-00173724-00174348 we we developed and run the business out PPC69ANb3K0-00621-00174349-00174653 of the dojo for the first almost two PPC69ANb3K0-00622-00174654-00175083 years and we had eight scaled up to PPC69ANb3K0-00623-00175084-00175308 eight employees and in that one little PPC69ANb3K0-00624-00175309-00175703 room and you know sharing some space in PPC69ANb3K0-00625-00175704-00176010 the house sometimes so that was pretty PPC69ANb3K0-00626-00176011-00176639 close quarters so that's the dojo so we PPC69ANb3K0-00627-00176640-00176981 grew our business initially with the PPC69ANb3K0-00628-00176982-00177311 hotel accounts into restaurants and in PPC69ANb3K0-00629-00177312-00177597 grocery stores and then it was time to PPC69ANb3K0-00630-00177598-00178162 begin our very first coffee coffee shop PPC69ANb3K0-00631-00178163-00178593 so we got invitation from our friends at PPC69ANb3K0-00632-00178594-00178959 the impact of Auckland which is uptown PPC69ANb3K0-00633-00178960-00179172 Oakland and a development called the PPC69ANb3K0-00634-00179173-00179479 hive there's a barber shop a bakery PPC69ANb3K0-00635-00179480-00180108 restaurants and housing so so we PPC69ANb3K0-00636-00180109-00180468 designed a coffee bar that would be PPC69ANb3K0-00637-00180469-00180882 outside in the middle of this plaza so PPC69ANb3K0-00638-00180883-00181173 the design idea there was to create a PPC69ANb3K0-00639-00181174-00181674 shop that would one reflect Oakland's PPC69ANb3K0-00640-00181675-00182007 asked and present culture at the same PPC69ANb3K0-00641-00182008-00182145 time is addressing some of the PPC69ANb3K0-00642-00182146-00182556 challenges that are in our city so first PPC69ANb3K0-00643-00182557-00182778 a physical design of the space so PPC69ANb3K0-00644-00182779-00182970 Oakland among many other things is a PPC69ANb3K0-00645-00182971-00183437 port town much of the goods coming PPC69ANb3K0-00646-00183438-00183771 through the western half of this country PPC69ANb3K0-00647-00183772-00183951 come through the Port of Oakland and PPC69ANb3K0-00648-00183952-00184401 that includes coffee so we designed it PPC69ANb3K0-00649-00184402-00185045 we started with a shipping container PPC69ANb3K0-00650-00185046-00185370 so so this was the shipping container PPC69ANb3K0-00651-00185371-00185865 and and you can see even the shape of PPC69ANb3K0-00652-00185866-00186279 that awning reflects the iconic Oakland PPC69ANb3K0-00653-00186280-00186708 shipping cranes that were very inspiring PPC69ANb3K0-00654-00186709-00187115 to many creatives such as some of the PPC69ANb3K0-00655-00187116-00187487 Star Trek movies I mean Star Wars movies PPC69ANb3K0-00656-00187488-00187974 so this was just a mock-up and what we PPC69ANb3K0-00657-00187975-00188424 did here was we ran a a crowdfunding PPC69ANb3K0-00658-00188425-00188793 platform to create the funds in order to PPC69ANb3K0-00659-00188794-00189114 launch this business I had a lot of PPC69ANb3K0-00660-00189115-00189486 apprehension about running a campaign to PPC69ANb3K0-00661-00189487-00189903 just start my own business but to PPC69ANb3K0-00662-00189904-00190110 address one of the other challenges in PPC69ANb3K0-00663-00190111-00190562 Oakland which was which is which is PPC69ANb3K0-00664-00190563-00191067 gentrification a lack of affordable well PPC69ANb3K0-00665-00191068-00191418 paying jobs I thought well how can we PPC69ANb3K0-00666-00191419-00191670 create you know we get I mean all right PPC69ANb3K0-00667-00191671-00191799 we created something really cool-looking PPC69ANb3K0-00668-00191800-00192177 in a great location we repurposed PPC69ANb3K0-00669-00192178-00192420 materials a Salvage shipping container PPC69ANb3K0-00670-00192421-00192672 but at the end of the day there was PPC69ANb3K0-00671-00192673-00193260 still just low-wage service jobs so I PPC69ANb3K0-00672-00193261-00193455 thought well how you know what PPC69ANb3K0-00673-00193456-00193566 difference is just gonna be another PPC69ANb3K0-00674-00193567-00193914 coffee shop so how are we how could we PPC69ANb3K0-00675-00193915-00194112 build a business where the workers could PPC69ANb3K0-00676-00194113-00194244 keep the profits now that would be PPC69ANb3K0-00677-00194245-00194472 something interesting but you know but PPC69ANb3K0-00678-00194473-00194690 if you're a coffee shop in PPC69ANb3K0-00679-00194691-00194909 you're you know spending your savings or PPC69ANb3K0-00680-00194910-00195152 taking loans or investments really PPC69ANb3K0-00681-00195153-00195416 there's not much profit to share there PPC69ANb3K0-00682-00195417-00195684 so that's why we went to the PPC69ANb3K0-00683-00195685-00196109 crowdfunding and at that time the PPC69ANb3K0-00684-00196110-00196364 highest amount ever raised for a coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00685-00196365-00196550 project in the coffee category and PPC69ANb3K0-00686-00196551-00196754 Kickstarter was fifty thousand dollars PPC69ANb3K0-00687-00196755-00197063 we needed much more than that we set our PPC69ANb3K0-00688-00197064-00197690 goal at eighty thousand many of many of PPC69ANb3K0-00689-00197691-00198108 folks on my team thought bring that down PPC69ANb3K0-00690-00198109-00198452 that's too much lower goal overshoot it PPC69ANb3K0-00691-00198453-00198720 I'm like look we're gonna go for 80 and PPC69ANb3K0-00692-00198721-00198959 we still need to overshoot that so we PPC69ANb3K0-00693-00198960-00199131 raised eighty eight thousand dollars on PPC69ANb3K0-00694-00199132-00199332 Kickstarter shattered all the previous PPC69ANb3K0-00695-00199333-00199646 records in the coffee category and and PPC69ANb3K0-00696-00199647-00200066 we put this thing to work so after PPC69ANb3K0-00697-00200067-00200346 design you know we actually built it so PPC69ANb3K0-00698-00200347-00200532 this is them delivering it you'll see PPC69ANb3K0-00699-00200533-00200759 this is the hive the barbershop the

landed we're putting the PPC69ANb3K0-00703-00201513-00201759 final design touches on painting our PPC69ANb3K0-00704-00201760-00202214 logo on the outside we are you know PPC69ANb3K0-00705-00202215-00202447 putting artwork on the inside this is PPC69ANb3K0-00706-00202448-00202784 example of some some of my previous PPC69ANb3K0-00707-00202785-00202944 artwork some of the medium that I do PPC69ANb3K0-00708-00202945-00203157 which is photographic transfers on wood PPC69ANb3K0-00709-00203158-00203629 also a reference to some of the PPC69ANb3K0-00710-00203630-00203963 badassery culture of East Oakland and PPC69ANb3K0-00711-00203964-00204459 you know so we we hired you know we PPC69ANb3K0-00712-00204460-00204732 hired our team at that time you know

formerly incarcerated or PPC69ANb3K0-00716-00205607-00206063 former foster youth and then we opened PPC69ANb3K0-00717-00206064-00206708 for business so not long ago earlier PPC69ANb3K0-00718-00206709-00206915 this year we caught the attention of PPC69ANb3K0-00719-00206916-00207359 BuzzFeed they did a 60-second video on PPC69ANb3K0-00720-00207360-00207716 our box and it garnered over PPC69ANb3K0-00721-00207717-00207965 three-quarters of a million views PPC69ANb3K0-00722-00207966-00208254 and you know and it just continues to be PPC69ANb3K0-00723-00208255-00208536 sort of an iconic location in Uptown PPC69ANb3K0-00724-00208537-00209103 Oakland also enables us to practice the PPC69ANb3K0-00725-00209104-00209271 cooperative economics that we talked

the space that we found PPC69ANb3K0-00747-00215803-00216336 it is 6,000 square feet and so this is PPC69ANb3K0-00748-00216337-00216542 pretty much what it was that we walked PPC69ANb3K0-00749-00216544-00217271 into and this is kind of current day so PPC69ANb3K0-00750-00217273-00217560 when you when you hit the door you stand PPC69ANb3K0-00751-00217561-00217871 right here you're basically able to see PPC69ANb3K0-00752-00217873-00218292 the entire operation our offices to the PPC69ANb3K0-00753-00218292-00218546 left the coffee roaster right in front PPC69ANb3K0-00754-00218548-00218748 of you you know there's a production PPC69ANb3K0-00755-00218748-00219021 space and the far back Center you know PPC69ANb3K0-00756-00219021-00219237 you'll see a better shot of it later but PPC69ANb3K0-00757-00219238-00219525 that's the the lab the coffee bar is PPC69ANb3K0-00758-00219526-00219969 there and it doesn't take long for the PPC69ANb3K0-00759-00219969-00220125 community to find out that there's a PPC69ANb3K0-00760-00220126-00220421 space inevitably there's just always a PPC69ANb3K0-00761-00220423-00220656 demand for venues in the space so we've PPC69ANb3K0-00762-00220657-00220866 opened that up from the very beginning PPC69ANb3K0-00763-00220867-00221254 and so we regularly have PPC69ANb3K0-00764-00221255-00221668 lectures performances we've had five PPC69ANb3K0-00765-00221669-00222331 weddings there already and just recently PPC69ANb3K0-00766-00222332-00222682 we opened up the coffee bar so you know PPC69ANb3K0-00767-00222683-00222868 really the our primary business is PPC69ANb3K0-00768-00222869-00223139 roasting packaging and delivering coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00769-00223140-00223471 developing doing our work I thought it PPC69ANb3K0-00770-00223472-00223616 was important one because we had the PPC69ANb3K0-00771-00223617-00223894 space but two I think what the coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00772-00223895-00224098 bar does is it brings people into the PPC69ANb3K0-00773-00224099-00224548 space it allows people to see the PPC69ANb3K0-00774-00224549-00224824 process sort of as a transparent PPC69ANb3K0-00775-00224825-00225049 production manufacturing and retail PPC69ANb3K0-00776-00225050-00225481 all-in-one this is these are the cool PPC69ANb3K0-00777-00225482-00225769 coffee

PPC69ANb3K0-00785-00228023-00228263 really an expert in chocolate so he PPC69ANb3K0-00786-00228264-00228397 worked for one of the specialty PPC69ANb3K0-00787-00228398-00228682 chocolate manufacturers in San Francisco PPC69ANb3K0-00788-00228683-00229087 when I had hunted him from that spot and PPC69ANb3K0-00789-00229088-00229384 he's since went back to school to study PPC69ANb3K0-00790-00229385-00229921 architecture so to his credit he tapped PPC69ANb3K0-00791-00229922-00230209 and introduced me to Alicia Adams to his PPC69ANb3K0-00792-00230210-00230462 right and

PPC69ANb3K0-00805-00234167-00234437 industry on the far other side green PPC69ANb3K0-00806-00234438-00234584 coffee importer PPC69ANb3K0-00807-00234585-00234911 quality control so she was then she was

two ends of the spectrum PPC69ANb3K0-00811-00235640-00236063 and now she's developing that middle PPC69ANb3K0-00812-00236064-00236346 piece which is profiling developing

an altar to George PPC69ANb3K0-00816-00237408-00237635 Washington Carver so that really was the PPC69ANb3K0-00817-00237636-00237866 inspiration to to sort of have us PPC69ANb3K0-00818-00237867-00238082 discover and learn more about coffee PPC69ANb3K0-00819-00238083-00238487 so that altar just never found a place PPC69ANb3K0-00820-00238488-00238796 in the headquarters but we created PPC69ANb3K0-00821-00238796-00239081 another altar and this time it was an PPC69ANb3K0-00822-00239082-00239546 altar to Africa itself in Africa this is

PPC69ANb3K0-00943-00276570-00276734 the opportunity came up for us to PPC69ANb3K0-00944-00276735-00276893 actually be in conversation in the same PPC69ANb3K0-00945-00276894-00277730 room at the same

sustainable businesses in PPC69ANb3K0-00951-00278907-00279149 Detroit from a design process in terms PPC69ANb3K0-00952-00279150-00279386 of our systems and how we think and then PPC69ANb3K0-00953-00279387-00279533 came a brought it right down to the PPC69ANb3K0-00954-00279534-00279701 macro in terms of how he's applying PPC69ANb3K0-00955-00279702-00279911 design and so I don't really want to PPC69ANb3K0-00956-00279912-00280067 take up too much time in our PPC69ANb3K0-00957-00280068-00280202 conversation because I'm gonna open it PPC69ANb3K0-00958-00280203-00280394 up to Q&A but one of the things that I PPC69ANb3K0-00959-00280395-00280586 do want to ask because there is another PPC69ANb3K0-00960-00280587-00280754 organization in the Bay Area that I PPC69ANb3K0-00961-00280755-00281153 absolutely love as well and it is fun PPC69ANb3K0-00962-00281154-00281432 good jobs inner city advisors and what I PPC69ANb3K0-00963-00281433-00281633 want to say Kaiba is that the work that PPC69ANb3K0-00964-00281634-00281834 you and I do is so intersectional it's PPC69ANb3K0-00965-00281835-00282008 about more than just food it's about PPC69ANb3K0-00966-00282009-00282206 more than just beverage it's about PPC69ANb3K0-00967-00282207-00282473 community it's about hiring kind of PPC69ANb3K0-00968-00282474-00282647 young people young people in the PPC69ANb3K0-00969-00282648-00282821 community and I'm just wondering when PPC69ANb3K0-00970-00282822-00283061 you set out on this journey of red but PPC69ANb3K0-00971-00283062-00283250 did you always think about that did you PPC69ANb3K0-00972-00283251-00283602 always think about the intersectionality PPC69ANb3K0-00973-00283603-00283788 absolutely for sure you know I mean PPC69ANb3K0-00974-00283789-00284058 really we started like I started I went PPC69ANb3K0-00975-00284059-00284295 to San Francisco State University in the PPC69ANb3K0-00976-00284296-00284550 late 80s and early 90s and there was a PPC69ANb3K0-00977-00284551-00284859 very political time it was a bit its PPC69ANb3K0-00978-00284860-00285053 political campus historically PPC69ANb3K0-00979-00285054-00285450 and so and I was an activist I was in PPC69ANb3K0-00980-00285451-00285729 South Africa during photojournalism in PPC69ANb3K0-00981-00285730-00286056 1994 when Mandela was elected then I was PPC69ANb3K0-00982-00286057-00286410 in you know the National Mall during the PPC69ANb3K0-00983-00286411-00286610 Million Man March as a photojournalist PPC69ANb3K0-00984-00286611-00287076 and kind of pursuing these stories so so PPC69ANb3K0-00985-00287077-00287301 you know I was always an activist and PPC69ANb3K0-00986-00287302-00287640 applying these values to to the business PPC69ANb3K0-00987-00287641-00287946 to my artwork so that's kind of where it PPC69ANb3K0-00988-00287947-00288216 began so of course you know that's the PPC69ANb3K0-00989-00288217-00288504 first thing I would do and it really it PPC69ANb3K0-00990-00288505-00288858 was just natural out outcrop of of what PPC69ANb3K0-00991-00288859-00289032 I do right so it was not easy they were PPC69ANb3K0-00992-00289033-00289371 not not but not a hard choice very easy PPC69ANb3K0-00993-00289372-00289623 and I just I just want to add one other PPC69ANb3K0-00994-00289624-00289764 thing too and I want to ask this PPC69ANb3K0-00995-00289765-00290285 question and so currently right now in PPC69ANb3K0-00996-00290286-00290562 the city of Detroit there has been a PPC69ANb3K0-00997-00290563-00290724 couple of reports that have been PPC69ANb3K0-00998-00290725-00291090 released one the policy link that's also PPC69ANb3K0-00999-00291091-00291264 out of the Bay Area did an equity PPC69ANb3K0-01000-00291265-00291471 profile of the city of Detroit Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-01001-00291472-00291816 future city they did a kind of 130 PPC69ANb3K0-01002-00291817-00292098 square miles analysis and then there was PPC69ANb3K0-01003-00292099-00292281 the Urban Institute - did a report about PPC69ANb3K0-01004-00292282-00292422 Detroit and one of the things that PPC69ANb3K0-01005-00292423-00292599 really jumped out at me I mean all these PPC69ANb3K0-01006-00292600-00292719 different reports there was one thing PPC69ANb3K0-01007-00292720-00292905 that was constant and that was the PPC69ANb3K0-01008-00292906-00293169 poverty rate in the city of Detroit when PPC69ANb3K0-01009-00293170-00293373 we talk about adults in Detroit about PPC69ANb3K0-01010-00293374-00293637 40% live at or below poverty and we PPC69ANb3K0-01011-00293638-00293850 talked about working poverty is about 63 PPC69ANb3K0-01012-00293851-00294237 percent 57 percent of Detroit youth are PPC69ANb3K0-01013-00294238-00294402 at or below poverty and 20 percent of PPC69ANb3K0-01014-00294403-00294618 our seniors and I mentioned that because PPC69ANb3K0-01015-00294619-00294777 there's this misnomer sometime PPC69ANb3K0-01016-00294778-00294909 particularly in the food justice PPC69ANb3K0-01017-00294910-00295203 movement that there is a scarcity issue PPC69ANb3K0-01018-00295204-00295428 around food or there is a lack of PPC69ANb3K0-01019-00295429-00295707 healthy food access right there's an PPC69ANb3K0-01020-00295708-00295878 access issue none of that is true PPC69ANb3K0-01021-00295879-00296202 there's a poverty issue yes and so one PPC69ANb3K0-01022-00296203-00296475 of the things that I think that way that PPC69ANb3K0-01023-00296476-00296691 you're tackling poverty in a way that I PPC69ANb3K0-01024-00296692-00296850 am trying to PPC69ANb3K0-01025-00296851-00297096 Dayna billion at scale grow food PPC69ANb3K0-01026-00297097-00297252 entrepreneurs and Detroit think about PPC69ANb3K0-01027-00297253-00297594 poverty is to give folks a good job a PPC69ANb3K0-01028-00297595-00297912 good job in their community in in their PPC69ANb3K0-01029-00297913-00298194 neighborhood and I and I say that cable PPC69ANb3K0-01030-00298195-00298413 because I am always amazed sometimes PPC69ANb3K0-01031-00298414-00298824 when I talk to folks particularly non PPC69ANb3K0-01032-00298825-00299154 folks of color who say they can't find PPC69ANb3K0-01033-00299155-00299361 good help in in the community in the PPC69ANb3K0-01034-00299362-00299562 neighborhood I'm looking at some of the PPC69ANb3K0-01035-00299563-00299790 folks if you've hired and found these PPC69ANb3K0-01036-00299791-00299967 people of young people people of color PPC69ANb3K0-01037-00299968-00300096 they're amazing PPC69ANb3K0-01038-00300097-00300321 the entrepreneurs that I work with in PPC69ANb3K0-01039-00300322-00300456 the neighborhood they found the young PPC69ANb3K0-01040-00300457-00300666 people that are amazing is their secret PPC69ANb3K0-01041-00300667-00300974 to this thing and I know it's not right PPC69ANb3K0-01042-00300975-00301308 how is it that you're not finding young PPC69ANb3K0-01043-00301309-00301578 folks of color who are young people but PPC69ANb3K0-01044-00301579-00301728 I know plenty of other people who are PPC69ANb3K0-01045-00301729-00301983 able to find them and train them yes and PPC69ANb3K0-01046-00301984-00302225 and and not only train them but flourish PPC69ANb3K0-01047-00302226-00302595 and so I'm just wondering so I think you PPC69ANb3K0-01048-00302596-00302745 know there's there's a couple things one PPC69ANb3K0-01049-00302746-00303015 you have to be willing to train right so PPC69ANb3K0-01050-00303016-00303285 especially if you are going into an PPC69ANb3K0-01051-00303286-00303429 industry that is already PPC69ANb3K0-01052-00303430-00303735 underrepresented so inherently there PPC69ANb3K0-01053-00303736-00303891 aren't going to be many experienced PPC69ANb3K0-01054-00303892-00304128 professionals just because that's so PPC69ANb3K0-01055-00304129-00304485 it'd be so easy to you know to just hire PPC69ANb3K0-01056-00304486-00304710 a lot of folks who look like the last PPC69ANb3K0-01057-00304711-00304905 all the other folks in that industry so PPC69ANb3K0-01058-00304906-00305166 if you're trying to sort of rewrite that PPC69ANb3K0-01059-00305167-00305706 story we have to be willing to Train we PPC69ANb3K0-01060-00305707-00306015 have to have that beat the intention in PPC69ANb3K0-01061-00306016-00306372 the first place and just look harder and PPC69ANb3K0-01062-00306373-00306597 you know and it's gonna take some luck PPC69ANb3K0-01063-00306598-00307032 also but once once you put that work in PPC69ANb3K0-01064-00307033-00307326 and you build some track record then PPC69ANb3K0-01065-00307327-00307554 pretty soon people will know you're PPC69ANb3K0-01066-00307555-00307740 organization that that's what you're PPC69ANb3K0-01067-00307741-00308142 about and then the talent will come to PPC69ANb3K0-01068-00308143-00308505 you and now you know so now we're just PPC69ANb3K0-01069-00308506-00308796 inundated you know in and you know we PPC69ANb3K0-01070-00308797-00309093 still face the challenges of business PPC69ANb3K0-01071-00309094-00309243 right there's of everyday business of PPC69ANb3K0-01072-00309244-00309516 just of growing of turning a profit and PPC69ANb3K0-01073-00309517-00309723 the you know the more we grow the more PPC69ANb3K0-01074-00309724-00309971 we can hire the more jobs we can create PPC69ANb3K0-01075-00309972-00310222 but yeah it just comes start start PPC69ANb3K0-01076-00310223-00310477 with intention and my last question for PPC69ANb3K0-01077-00310478-00310654 you came and we could be in conversation PPC69ANb3K0-01078-00310655-00310753 when I want to open it up to the PPC69ANb3K0-01079-00310754-00310942 audience is that I'm wondering if you PPC69ANb3K0-01080-00310943-00311332 received this because this is sometimes PPC69ANb3K0-01081-00311333-00311584 not so much now that foodlab has been PPC69ANb3K0-01082-00311585-00311794 doing this work for about four years but PPC69ANb3K0-01083-00311795-00311985 I'm wondering if you received this you PPC69ANb3K0-01084-00311986-00312139 know we get pushed back in the city of PPC69ANb3K0-01085-00312140-00312334 Detroit when food entrepreneurs want to PPC69ANb3K0-01086-00312335-00312625 go into under-resourced and marginalized PPC69ANb3K0-01087-00312626-00312810 areas and say I want to open up a vegan PPC69ANb3K0-01088-00312811-00313144 sit-down casual restaurant or I want to PPC69ANb3K0-01089-00313145-00313827 do a coffee shop that is serving roasted PPC69ANb3K0-01090-00313828-00314098 cappuccinos or espresso or I want to do PPC69ANb3K0-01091-00314099-00314641 a fresh healthy food kind of small micro PPC69ANb3K0-01092-00314642-00314827 I'm going to call them bodegas in PPC69ANb3K0-01093-00314828-00315094 Detroit I mean in New York well the in PPC69ANb3K0-01094-00315095-00315271 Silicon Valley try to call them bodegas PPC69ANb3K0-01095-00315272-00315433 and they're really a cabinet but anyway PPC69ANb3K0-01096-00315434-00315718 um but but but these hyper local stores PPC69ANb3K0-01097-00315719-00315984 and the thing is is that I've got to PPC69ANb3K0-01098-00315985-00316177 tell you banks some people in PPC69ANb3K0-01099-00316178-00316327 traditional economic development and PPC69ANb3K0-01100-00316328-00316468 Community Development will tell me PPC69ANb3K0-01101-00316469-00316699 Davida what why don't why don't want to PPC69ANb3K0-01102-00316700-00316975 open up a restaurant in in Fruitvale or PPC69ANb3K0-01103-00316976-00317146 why do you want to do that on an East PPC69ANb3K0-01104-00317147-00317533 Side or why as it as if poor folks don't PPC69ANb3K0-01105-00317534-00317695 want to eat well or you don't want to PPC69ANb3K0-01106-00317696-00317863 sit down in an engineering company I'm PPC69ANb3K0-01107-00317864-00317989 just wondering do people look at you PPC69ANb3K0-01108-00317990-00318115 like you were crazy or give you push PPC69ANb3K0-01109-00318116-00318295 back like no no no no I'm gonna do a PPC69ANb3K0-01110-00318296-00318508 coffee roasting a coffee bar in my PPC69ANb3K0-01111-00318509-00318934 community in Fruitvale like I mean it's PPC69ANb3K0-01112-00318935-00319171 hard to raise money no matter what no PPC69ANb3K0-01113-00319172-00319318 matter where you gonna put it you know PPC69ANb3K0-01114-00319319-00319606 so that's a whole conversation in itself PPC69ANb3K0-01115-00319607-00319785 and I imagine what's happened to that PPC69ANb3K0-01116-00319786-00320029 but you know raising money is very PPC69ANb3K0-01117-00320030-00320326 challenging especially you know they PPC69ANb3K0-01118-00320327-00320539 want to see you know I think the funders PPC69ANb3K0-01119-00320540-00320904 they want to see mostly that you have PPC69ANb3K0-01120-00320905-00321175 equity and collateral that's the first PPC69ANb3K0-01121-00321176-00321285 thing that they want to see no matter PPC69ANb3K0-01122-00321286-00321430 where you put it PPC69ANb3K0-01123-00321431-00321667 but you know then they want to they want PPC69ANb3K0-01124-00321668-00321889 to see a record they want to back PPC69ANb3K0-01125-00321890-00322108 another hit record right if that movie PPC69ANb3K0-01126-00322109-00322312 was a hit they want to make part 2 right PPC69ANb3K0-01127-00322313-00322465 if that song was a hit they want to make PPC69ANb3K0-01128-00322466-00322840 you know the remix of that so you know PPC69ANb3K0-01129-00322841-00322975 whenever you're trying to do something PPC69ANb3K0-01130-00322976-00323224 new is to break some new ground you're PPC69ANb3K0-01131-00323225-00323558 always gonna get pushback from the PPC69ANb3K0-01132-00323559-00323777 from the money people and sometimes even PPC69ANb3K0-01133-00323778-00323933 the community within the community as PPC69ANb3K0-01134-00323934-00324639 well okay sounds good so I have the mic PPC69ANb3K0-01135-00324640-00325493 if anybody has a question PPC69ANb3K0-01136-00325494-00325847 I'll start so that's a that is a great PPC69ANb3K0-01137-00325848-00326193 question and so and I think that for us PPC69ANb3K0-01138-00326194-00326496 in Detroit in order to really grow this PPC69ANb3K0-01139-00326497-00326715 ecosystem at scale that we have we could PPC69ANb3K0-01140-00326716-00327012 not have done it by ourselves so yes we PPC69ANb3K0-01141-00327013-00327339 have had collaboration from government PPC69ANb3K0-01142-00327340-00327650 and also foreign philanthropy so I'll PPC69ANb3K0-01143-00327651-00327881 give you an example of how government PPC69ANb3K0-01144-00327882-00328097 dollars has helped us to kind of grow PPC69ANb3K0-01145-00328098-00328365 this ecosystem and so there was one PPC69ANb3K0-01146-00328366-00328545 point in time in this country where we PPC69ANb3K0-01147-00328546-00328737 had a competent person who was at HUD PPC69ANb3K0-01148-00328738-00329166 and so listen the person who's at hood PPC69ANb3K0-01149-00329167-00329360 now is from Detroit but we not even want PPC69ANb3K0-01150-00329361-00329600 to acknowledge that and so but but it's PPC69ANb3K0-01151-00329601-00329820 important to have competent people in PPC69ANb3K0-01152-00329821-00330069 government and the reason being is PPC69ANb3K0-01153-00330070-00330434 because HUD oversaw something that is PPC69ANb3K0-01154-00330435-00330645 called CBG funds PPC69ANb3K0-01155-00330646-00330915 CBG is community block grant funding and PPC69ANb3K0-01156-00330916-00331145 the community block grant funding that PPC69ANb3K0-01157-00331146-00331409 the Obama administration earmarked for PPC69ANb3K0-01158-00331410-00331652 communities in the city of Detroit that PPC69ANb3K0-01159-00331653-00331955 funding had been able to trickle down to PPC69ANb3K0-01160-00331956-00332270 a entity in the city of Detroit that is PPC69ANb3K0-01161-00332271-00332426 called the Detroit economic growth PPC69ANb3K0-01162-00332427-00332691 corporation they took that funding and PPC69ANb3K0-01163-00332692-00332994 with that funding from CBG grants our PPC69ANb3K0-01164-00332995-00333245 CBD funding they turned it into grants PPC69ANb3K0-01165-00333246-00333468 and what those grants did was they were PPC69ANb3K0-01166-00333469-00333772 able then to take kind of like old PPC69ANb3K0-01167-00333773-00334256 unused real estate the commercial real PPC69ANb3K0-01168-00334257-00334427 estate and do what's called white box PPC69ANb3K0-01169-00334428-00334668 those real at dough spaces and when they PPC69ANb3K0-01170-00334669-00334895 white box no-stick those spaces they PPC69ANb3K0-01171-00334896-00335060 allowed entrepreneurs to do what's PPC69ANb3K0-01172-00335061-00335295 called pop up in those spaces to test PPC69ANb3K0-01173-00335296-00335558 their product to see if the constancy of PPC69ANb3K0-01174-00335559-00335732 the community would like it to get PPC69ANb3K0-01175-00335733-00335967 market validation to kind of understand PPC69ANb3K0-01176-00335968-00336162 their business model and they were able PPC69ANb3K0-01177-00336163-00336335 to stay in many cases in those spaces PPC69ANb3K0-01178-00336336-00336530 for six months and maybe nine months and PPC69ANb3K0-01179-00336531-00336698 if it really took off then they were PPC69ANb3K0-01180-00336699-00336857 able to negotiate a lease with the PPC69ANb3K0-01181-00336858-00336922 landlord PPC69ANb3K0-01182-00336923-00337123 that's how Kirsten and Erica were able PPC69ANb3K0-01183-00337124-00337366 to start Detroit vegan soul they were in PPC69ANb3K0-01184-00337367-00337570 a pop up through what was called the PPC69ANb3K0-01185-00337571-00337744 revolver program and the revolver PPC69ANb3K0-01186-00337745-00338008 program was funded through CBG grant PPC69ANb3K0-01187-00338009-00338134 dollars from the federal government PPC69ANb3K0-01188-00338135-00338389 there is another program to that we were PPC69ANb3K0-01189-00338390-00338602 able to tap into a federal program and PPC69ANb3K0-01190-00338603-00338872 that program is called hffi which is PPC69ANb3K0-01191-00338873-00339082 healthy food financing initiatives and PPC69ANb3K0-01192-00339083-00339319 what hffi was able to do is they were PPC69ANb3K0-01193-00339320-00339613 able to set aside dollars particularly PPC69ANb3K0-01194-00339614-00339802 for food entrepreneurs that were PPC69ANb3K0-01195-00339803-00339997 actually building and creating and PPC69ANb3K0-01196-00339998-00340255 starting healthy food businesses in PPC69ANb3K0-01197-00340256-00340402 their communities in neighborhood and PPC69ANb3K0-01198-00340403-00340621 they were able to access funding and so PPC69ANb3K0-01199-00340622-00340863 then organization in this in in Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-01200-00340864-00341140 metropolitan area who was able to hold PPC69ANb3K0-01201-00341141-00341385 some of that hffi funding for us was a PPC69ANb3K0-01202-00341386-00341602 organization called Fair Food Network PPC69ANb3K0-01203-00341603-00341767 and they created something that was PPC69ANb3K0-01204-00341768-00341929 called the Michigan good food fund and PPC69ANb3K0-01205-00341930-00342118 the Michigan good food fund then and PPC69ANb3K0-01206-00342119-00342304 kind of distributed that money out PPC69ANb3K0-01207-00342305-00342502 through low-interest loans to PPC69ANb3K0-01208-00342503-00342760 entrepreneurs who were creating good PPC69ANb3K0-01209-00342761-00342973 food businesses so yes not only did we PPC69ANb3K0-01210-00342974-00343165 have federal dollars but we also you PPC69ANb3K0-01211-00343166-00343372 know had partnership with the city we PPC69ANb3K0-01212-00343373-00343621 have partnerships with foundations wkk F PPC69ANb3K0-01213-00343622-00343882 which is the Kellogg Foundation the PPC69ANb3K0-01214-00343883-00344289 serta foundation Kresge Foundation and PPC69ANb3K0-01215-00344290-00344659 we could not do this alone so like I PPC69ANb3K0-01216-00344660-00344905 said I'm a part of an ecosystem of PPC69ANb3K0-01217-00344906-00345109 partners that I work with but that was a PPC69ANb3K0-01218-00345110-00345316 great question have you been able to PPC69ANb3K0-01219-00345317-00345952 access any federal dollars or so I'm PPC69ANb3K0-01220-00345953-00346147 alone so you notice they're nonprofit it PPC69ANb3K0-01221-00346148-00346318 was a little bit different but did I ask PPC69ANb3K0-01222-00346319-00347572 your questions are there jeopardy it's a PPC69ANb3K0-01223-00347573-00347701 question in the back PPC69ANb3K0-01224-00347702-00348025 I actually have two questions these are PPC69ANb3K0-01225-00348026-00348223 things that are very close to my heart I PPC69ANb3K0-01226-00348224-00348478 run to sustainable restaurants in New PPC69ANb3K0-01227-00348479-00348787 York City one thing that I find is that PPC69ANb3K0-01228-00348788-00349003 it's hard to sort of one of our mission PPC69ANb3K0-01229-00349004-00349135 statement apart from running a PPC69ANb3K0-01230-00349136-00349309 sustainable restaurant is to be able to PPC69ANb3K0-01231-00349310-00349603 offer that type of food to as many PPC69ANb3K0-01232-00349604-00349843 people as possible rather than to the 1% PPC69ANb3K0-01233-00349844-00349945 or PPC69ANb3K0-01234-00349946-00350233 and so it's I find it hard to combine PPC69ANb3K0-01235-00350234-00350515 both sourcing really really well locally PPC69ANb3K0-01236-00350516-00350692 and supporting other businesses that are PPC69ANb3K0-01237-00350693-00350953 doing everything right while and paying PPC69ANb3K0-01238-00350954-00351241 fair wages and keeping prices so that PPC69ANb3K0-01239-00351242-00351433 you know we're in a gentrifying PPC69ANb3K0-01240-00351434-00351571 neighborhood were in the southside of PPC69ANb3K0-01241-00351572-00351787 Williamsburg and I we've been there for PPC69ANb3K0-01242-00351788-00351967 a while and I want to feed everyone PPC69ANb3K0-01243-00351968-00352135 that's been there for 30 years and also PPC69ANb3K0-01244-00352136-00352336 all of the new construction and so PPC69ANb3K0-01245-00352337-00352531 that's something I'm always kind of you PPC69ANb3K0-01246-00352532-00352861 know it's hard to have healthy you know PPC69ANb3K0-01247-00352862-00353146 well sourced food pay everyone well I PPC69ANb3K0-01248-00353147-00353323 you know use the right kind of energy PPC69ANb3K0-01249-00353324-00353527 and also keep it low enough so that PPC69ANb3K0-01250-00353528-00353788 everyone can participate and the other PPC69ANb3K0-01251-00353789-00354144 thing is a little bit is on another PPC69ANb3K0-01252-00354145-00354505 subject but I find it when people hear PPC69ANb3K0-01253-00354506-00354670 about our sustainable practices and PPC69ANb3K0-01254-00354671-00354901 everything we stand for they're really PPC69ANb3K0-01255-00354902-00355132 excited but it's a little bit preaching PPC69ANb3K0-01256-00355133-00355522 to the choir and also I don't find that PPC69ANb3K0-01257-00355523-00355687 that actually brings people into the PPC69ANb3K0-01258-00355688-00355801 restaurant the people that are already PPC69ANb3K0-01259-00355802-00355969 there that already follow us and love PPC69ANb3K0-01260-00355970-00356236 what we do are excited to know about it PPC69ANb3K0-01261-00356237-00356557 but in far as as using that as a tool to PPC69ANb3K0-01262-00356558-00356839 like bring new people in you know I sort PPC69ANb3K0-01263-00356840-00357073 of say the rainbow bagel or the you know PPC69ANb3K0-01264-00357074-00357301 the the busting egg yolk is is somehow PPC69ANb3K0-01265-00357302-00357664 so much more appealing and so I don't PPC69ANb3K0-01266-00357665-00357799 know if you had any experience with that PPC69ANb3K0-01267-00357800-00357916 I'm curious to know if that's something PPC69ANb3K0-01268-00357917-00358210 you use in your marketing or is that PPC69ANb3K0-01269-00358211-00358780 just in the back end well I'll take a PPC69ANb3K0-01270-00358781-00359134 stab at some of those topics in terms of PPC69ANb3K0-01271-00359135-00359473 you know really positioning and what we PPC69ANb3K0-01272-00359474-00359713 how we communicate our business like I PPC69ANb3K0-01273-00359714-00360043 mentioned coffee in specialty coffee in PPC69ANb3K0-01274-00360044-00360234 Northern California in the Bay Area is PPC69ANb3K0-01275-00360235-00360607 really competitive so you know we do PPC69ANb3K0-01276-00360608-00361015 have a lot of our mission statement that PPC69ANb3K0-01277-00361016-00361201 we could speak on and we usually get PPC69ANb3K0-01278-00361202-00361540 there but you know my own bias as a PPC69ANb3K0-01279-00361541-00361792 consumer is when you know and I'm not PPC69ANb3K0-01280-00361793-00362023 sure if this is 100% the right path but PPC69ANb3K0-01281-00362024-00362275 when I when I see a product that is sort PPC69ANb3K0-01282-00362276-00362737 of overly leaning on their mission in my PPC69ANb3K0-01283-00362738-00363053 back of my head I doubt that PPC69ANb3K0-01284-00363054-00363296 that the it's a product that's a really PPC69ANb3K0-01285-00363297-00363815 built around excellence first so so into PPC69ANb3K0-01286-00363816-00363941 being in such a competitive environment PPC69ANb3K0-01287-00363942-00364265 you know really I when when we're trying PPC69ANb3K0-01288-00364266-00364517 to grow and sell you know our our PPC69ANb3K0-01289-00364518-00364840 business we we talk about quality first PPC69ANb3K0-01290-00364841-00365138 we talk about the extent that we go PPC69ANb3K0-01291-00365139-00365429 through to quality control and to PPC69ANb3K0-01292-00365430-00365633 research and development and you know PPC69ANb3K0-01293-00365634-00365894 and we get into sort of the coffee porn PPC69ANb3K0-01294-00365895-00366224 if you will of it and then we talk about PPC69ANb3K0-01295-00366225-00366644 you know sort of as an add-on to discuss PPC69ANb3K0-01296-00366645-00366827 you know sort of the mission and the in PPC69ANb3K0-01297-00366828-00367019 the in the people power and the people PPC69ANb3K0-01298-00367020-00367262 work that we do around the environment PPC69ANb3K0-01299-00367263-00367679 and everything else in terms of your PPC69ANb3K0-01300-00367680-00368030 first question you know that's that that PPC69ANb3K0-01301-00368031-00368441 is a dilemma you know in terms of making PPC69ANb3K0-01302-00368442-00368792 quality products affordable and that's PPC69ANb3K0-01303-00368793-00369161 just a hard that's just hard to do so PPC69ANb3K0-01304-00369162-00369383 you know we've gotten you know maybe PPC69ANb3K0-01305-00369384-00369545 you're familiar with the suspended PPC69ANb3K0-01306-00369546-00369974 coffee phenomenon I think started in PPC69ANb3K0-01307-00369975-00370313 Italy you know and we we practice that PPC69ANb3K0-01308-00370314-00370631 where someone can come in and buy a cup PPC69ANb3K0-01309-00370632-00370910 of coffee for themselves and they can PPC69ANb3K0-01310-00370911-00371285 buy a cup of coffee for the next person

PPC69ANb3K0-01316-00372372-00372578 it's a person that's wearing glasses if PPC69ANb3K0-01317-00372579-00372725 it's a first I mean really you can make PPC69ANb3K0-01318-00372726-00372989 it is

challenging PPC69ANb3K0-01332-00376665-00376908 issues and you know and that's kind of PPC69ANb3K0-01333-00376909-00377190 how we've adjusted so I want to stab it PPC69ANb3K0-01334-00377191-00377433 at your first question and I'm gonna PPC69ANb3K0-01335-00377434-00377877 share with you a story you know I've PPC69ANb3K0-01336-00377878-00378210 been doing this work now for for couple PPC69ANb3K0-01337-00378211-00378603 years and so I am now old enough to PPC69ANb3K0-01338-00378604-00378978 remember when food labs founding members PPC69ANb3K0-01339-00378979-00379230 who has been with us since spike 2012 PPC69ANb3K0-01340-00379231-00379560 and 2013 I can remember the excitement PPC69ANb3K0-01341-00379561-00379899 the enthusiasm that they had I'm around PPC69ANb3K0-01342-00379900-00380052 why they wanted to start this food PPC69ANb3K0-01343-00380053-00380250 business because they loved cooking or PPC69ANb3K0-01344-00380251-00380460 because like I said before Kirsten and PPC69ANb3K0-01345-00380461-00380724 Erica knew that through veganism they PPC69ANb3K0-01346-00380725-00380883 can help address some of the diet PPC69ANb3K0-01347-00380884-00381087 related diseases and health problems and PPC69ANb3K0-01348-00381088-00381267 crises that they were having in their PPC69ANb3K0-01349-00381268-00381417 own family but wanted to share that PPC69ANb3K0-01350-00381418-00381783 veganism love and also teach veganism to PPC69ANb3K0-01351-00381784-00382017 the community and so I remember that the PPC69ANb3K0-01352-00382018-00382152 energy and the excitement that they had PPC69ANb3K0-01353-00382153-00382440 around cooking fast forward three to PPC69ANb3K0-01354-00382441-00382590 four years later those same PPC69ANb3K0-01355-00382591-00382797 entrepreneurs they come to me and they PPC69ANb3K0-01356-00382798-00383151 say to me divita the very least thing PPC69ANb3K0-01357-00383152-00383381 that I do now in my business is cook PPC69ANb3K0-01358-00383382-00383742 it's the very least to do so I answer PPC69ANb3K0-01359-00383743-00383880 your question like this when you talk PPC69ANb3K0-01360-00383881-00384033 about this challenge that you have PPC69ANb3K0-01361-00384034-00384258 around not only offering a quality PPC69ANb3K0-01362-00384259-00384555 product but being able to like feed the PPC69ANb3K0-01363-00384556-00384690 masses number one you can't be all PPC69ANb3K0-01364-00384691-00384834 things to all people that's number one PPC69ANb3K0-01365-00384835-00385017 you got to realize that but the second PPC69ANb3K0-01366-00385018-00385176 thing you have to do is that you have to PPC69ANb3K0-01367-00385177-00385389 get control over your cost right and PPC69ANb3K0-01368-00385390-00385731 figure out what I tell entrepreneurs now PPC69ANb3K0-01369-00385732-00385950 all the time and I learned this for the PPC69ANb3K0-01370-00385951-00386109 entrepreneurs that I've seen growing PPC69ANb3K0-01371-00386110-00386451 scale is that it's not good enough to PPC69ANb3K0-01372-00386452-00386715 start a food business you have to create PPC69ANb3K0-01373-00386716-00386946 a model for your business you have to PPC69ANb3K0-01374-00386947-00387147 create a business model so I take PPC69ANb3K0-01375-00387148-00387345 Detroit vegan soul for example and they PPC69ANb3K0-01376-00387346-00387540 to come to me they says divita you know PPC69ANb3K0-01377-00387541-00387854 our mission was to create a restaurant PPC69ANb3K0-01378-00387855-00388287 that served the best vegan food that has PPC69ANb3K0-01379-00388288-00388551 that flavor that loved that feeling of PPC69ANb3K0-01380-00388552-00388815 soul food in it but how can we do it in PPC69ANb3K0-01381-00388816-00388935 a way where we're not preaching to the PPC69ANb3K0-01382-00388936-00389124 choir when we're not just feeding the PPC69ANb3K0-01383-00389125-00389349 same people we want to we want to also PPC69ANb3K0-01384-00389350-00389659 preach veganism or teach veganism to PPC69ANb3K0-01385-00389660-00389875 people who may not otherwise like even PPC69ANb3K0-01386-00389876-00390160 think about eating like seitan or tofu PPC69ANb3K0-01387-00390161-00390319 right and we'll look at us crazy if we PPC69ANb3K0-01388-00390320-00390523 like really this tastes like catfish but PPC69ANb3K0-01389-00390524-00390697 it's really tofu let me tell you what PPC69ANb3K0-01390-00390698-00390886 they had to do no they had to revamp PPC69ANb3K0-01391-00390887-00391105 their entire business and create a model PPC69ANb3K0-01392-00391106-00391426 that's important and I'm sorry though I PPC69ANb3K0-01393-00391427-00391681 think there's a lot of lessons that PPC69ANb3K0-01394-00391682-00391972 small businesses can learn from large PPC69ANb3K0-01395-00391973-00392155 businesses seriously and that's about PPC69ANb3K0-01396-00392156-00392416 model creation and creating systems and PPC69ANb3K0-01397-00392417-00392641 so one of the things that they looked at PPC69ANb3K0-01398-00392642-00392803 is they looked at Trader Joe's they're PPC69ANb3K0-01399-00392804-00393019 like what's that trader Joel model right PPC69ANb3K0-01400-00393020-00393304 small square flea you'll never find a PPC69ANb3K0-01401-00393305-00393526 huge Trader Joe's they are very very PPC69ANb3K0-01402-00393527-00393787 specific about the number of SKUs that PPC69ANb3K0-01403-00393788-00393952 they have in trader Joe and a lot of PPC69ANb3K0-01404-00393953-00394168 their skews our private label so here's PPC69ANb3K0-01405-00394169-00394393 an Erica thought you know what in order PPC69ANb3K0-01406-00394394-00394684 for us to cut down on our webcast of PPC69ANb3K0-01407-00394685-00394888 goods and to be able to manage the PPC69ANb3K0-01408-00394889-00395110 operations of our business so perhaps we PPC69ANb3K0-01409-00395111-00395263 can start bringing the price down of our PPC69ANb3K0-01410-00395264-00395413 menu items there's a couple things we PPC69ANb3K0-01411-00395414-00395599 got to do number one is we've got to PPC69ANb3K0-01412-00395600-00395839 curate a tight menu we're not going to PPC69ANb3K0-01413-00395840-00396085 try to have everything on the menu PPC69ANb3K0-01414-00396086-00396253 we might do some soups and salads and PPC69ANb3K0-01415-00396254-00396447 sandwiches the main entrees that's it PPC69ANb3K0-01416-00396448-00396685 that's it that's all we could in the PPC69ANb3K0-01417-00396686-00396886 thing is we're going to curate a menu PPC69ANb3K0-01418-00396887-00397159 that we can use like one ingredient six PPC69ANb3K0-01419-00397160-00397348 or seven different ways so now we can PPC69ANb3K0-01420-00397349-00397585 buy that ingredient in bulk and that PPC69ANb3K0-01421-00397586-00397804 lowers our cost of good one of the PPC69ANb3K0-01422-00397805-00397897 things that we're gonna figure out PPC69ANb3K0-01423-00397898-00398128 number one number two is that how that PPC69ANb3K0-01424-00398129-00398341 can we use the envelope of our business PPC69ANb3K0-01425-00398342-00398569 to manage what we call the zones right PPC69ANb3K0-01426-00398570-00398701 missus stuff they taught me cuz I'm like PPC69ANb3K0-01427-00398702-00398878 whoa I need to realize this and the PPC69ANb3K0-01428-00398879-00399117 zones is kinda like how are we managing PPC69ANb3K0-01429-00399118-00399352 refrigeration right how are we making PPC69ANb3K0-01430-00399353-00399556 sure that we're managing the lights PPC69ANb3K0-01431-00399557-00399739 right if somebody is not in this PPC69ANb3K0-01432-00399740-00399934 particular space but the lights are PPC69ANb3K0-01433-00399935-00400102 still on is that driving up our PPC69ANb3K0-01434-00400103-00400323 electricity like so they figured out PPC69ANb3K0-01435-00400324-00400564 operationally like how to bring down the PPC69ANb3K0-01436-00400565-00400813 cost of running and operating a business PPC69ANb3K0-01437-00400814-00401008 so they can bring down the price and PPC69ANb3K0-01438-00401009-00401203 they can make it more approachable and PPC69ANb3K0-01439-00401204-00401416 more affordable to other people in the PPC69ANb3K0-01440-00401417-00401653 community and so I say to you like PPC69ANb3K0-01441-00401654-00401836 really look at your business model and PPC69ANb3K0-01442-00401837-00402148 how you can look at perhaps you driving PPC69ANb3K0-01443-00402149-00402340 down what they call the cost of goods PPC69ANb3K0-01444-00402341-00402487 and the cost to operate your business PPC69ANb3K0-01445-00402488-00402691 New York I know that's like I'm gonna PPC69ANb3K0-01446-00402692-00402841 use an Oakland phrase I know that's like PPC69ANb3K0-01447-00402842-00403002 hella hard right like I know PPC69ANb3K0-01448-00403003-00403197 difficult because real estate and I'm PPC69ANb3K0-01449-00403198-00403365 shy don't have you own your business but PPC69ANb3K0-01450-00403366-00403554 I'm sure like your your your rent it's PPC69ANb3K0-01451-00403555-00403647 like ridiculous PPC69ANb3K0-01452-00403648-00403740 I don't even want to know cuz I'll PPC69ANb3K0-01453-00403741-00403911 probably bust out crying and if I even PPC69ANb3K0-01454-00403912-00404115 knew how much you were paying or rent PPC69ANb3K0-01455-00404116-00404277 but think of looking you got it as a PPC69ANb3K0-01456-00404278-00404418 small business owner on my series you PPC69ANb3K0-01457-00404419-00404667 got to look at every single penny and PPC69ANb3K0-01458-00404668-00404892 where it is going this is a business PPC69ANb3K0-01459-00404893-00405105 like we're really small margins and then PPC69ANb3K0-01460-00405106-00405252 the second thing I would say before we PPC69ANb3K0-01461-00405253-00405534 open up in the question is that one of PPC69ANb3K0-01462-00405535-00405693 the things that I love about what with PPC69ANb3K0-01463-00405694-00405912 Kaiba was doing and fool a member is our PPC69ANb3K0-01464-00405913-00406047 members are doing is they know that it's PPC69ANb3K0-01465-00406048-00406233 more than just the food it's about PPC69ANb3K0-01466-00406234-00406452 community so other than just like PPC69ANb3K0-01467-00406453-00406779 putting these menu items kind of like in PPC69ANb3K0-01468-00406780-00406926 the restaurant how are you reaching out PPC69ANb3K0-01469-00406927-00407010 to the community PPC69ANb3K0-01470-00407011-00407205 Detroit vegan so just like healthy

something and you know and we do PPC69ANb3K0-01510-00416333-00416662 that for a couple reasons one where you PPC69ANb3K0-01511-00416663-00416899 know we also sort of you know are our PPC69ANb3K0-01512-00416900-00417151 highest plate managers are paid a little PPC69ANb3K0-01513-00417152-00417703 less as well but training and Retraining PPC69ANb3K0-01514-00417704-00417991 is very expensive so in the in the short PPC69ANb3K0-01515-00417992-00418276 term you're looking at these costs and PPC69ANb3K0-01516-00418277-00418620 you know and they are high but also you PPC69ANb3K0-01517-00418621-00418812 have to be efficient and there's a lot PPC69ANb3K0-01518-00418813-00419137 of efficiencies that you can do but it's PPC69ANb3K0-01519-00419138-00419295 the retraining and when you're paying PPC69ANb3K0-01520-00419296-00419701 someone $15 an hour when they know you PPC69ANb3K0-01521-00419702-00420022 know it might be $9 an hour might be the PPC69ANb3K0-01522-00420022-00420295 alternative at a place where they PPC69ANb3K0-01523-00420296-00420639 respect it you know it's a way to retain PPC69ANb3K0-01524-00420639-00420964 employees and

PPC69ANb3K0-01527-00421348-00421668 institutional wisdom and it's going to PPC69ANb3K0-01528-00421669-00421837 help you retain those employees and save PPC69ANb3K0-01529-00421838-00422127 costs that way also so sometimes things PPC69ANb3K0-01530-00422128-00422452 look expensive and they are but they PPC69ANb3K0-01531-00422453-00422793 could save you money in the long run PPC69ANb3K0-01532-00422793-00423079 thank you both for your presentations I PPC69ANb3K0-01533-00423080-00423304 learned so much it's so inspiring both PPC69ANb3K0-01534-00423305-00423643 of you so this has been on my mind PPC69ANb3K0-01535-00423643-00423799 lately because of the hurricane season PPC69ANb3K0-01536-00423800-00424141 and that's climate change and ensuring PPC69ANb3K0-01537-00424142-00424482 cities are prepared for this shift PPC69ANb3K0-01538-00424483-00424797 because Detroit as divita you said is PPC69ANb3K0-01539-00424798-00425034 surrounded by 20% of the freshest water PPC69ANb3K0-01540-00425035-00425326 in the world we really have to think PPC69ANb3K0-01541-00425327-00425910 about population growth and seasons PPC69ANb3K0-01542-00425911-00426127 changing but when thinking about food PPC69ANb3K0-01543-00426128-00426406 security I'm wondering how does climate PPC69ANb3K0-01544-00426407-00426676 change factor and and especially as PPC69ANb3K0-01545-00426677-00426928 we're imagining futures and designing PPC69ANb3K0-01546-00426929-00427285 futures as you know we have all this PPC69ANb3K0-01547-00427285-00427528 vacant land but also what we can grow PPC69ANb3K0-01548-00427529-00427735 where it grows and how that changes over PPC69ANb3K0-01549-00427735-00427978 time you know where does that factor in PPC69ANb3K0-01550-00427979-00428362 in the now PPC69ANb3K0-01551-00428363-00428846 but I just wanted to put in I just PPC69ANb3K0-01552-00428847-00428989 wanted to say a couple things to that PPC69ANb3K0-01553-00428991-00429121 Ingrid PPC69ANb3K0-01554-00429122-00429728 because it's we were at idea cities over PPC69ANb3K0-01555-00429729-00430046 the weekend and I think the conversation PPC69ANb3K0-01556-00430047-00430217 was about setting the table of the PPC69ANb3K0-01557-00430218-00430634 future and and Jeff the moderator had PPC69ANb3K0-01558-00430635-00430835 axed the the the question what is the PPC69ANb3K0-01559-00430835-00431072 most what what they feel what we feel PPC69ANb3K0-01560-00431072-00431372 urgent issue of food today and I was PPC69ANb3K0-01561-00431372-00431795 really surprised when when none of the PPC69ANb3K0-01562-00431796-00431930 panelists who are dear friends of mine PPC69ANb3K0-01563-00431931-00432217 who I loved didn't really touch on um PPC69ANb3K0-01564-00432218-00432452 climate change and didn't really touch PPC69ANb3K0-01565-00432453-00432716 on how that is going to affect the food PPC69ANb3K0-01566-00432717-00432935 that we eat here's the thing Ingrid PPC69ANb3K0-01567-00432935-00433178 that's the most important issue for me

PPC69ANb3K0-01573-00434739-00435010 thinking about how climate is going to PPC69ANb3K0-01574-00435012-00435338 affect not only how we eat but what we PPC69ANb3K0-01575-00435339-00435610 eat there are entrepreneurs in the food PPC69ANb3K0-01576-00435612-00435764 lab community and even funders are PPC69ANb3K0-01577-00435764-00435878 looking at them like they're crazy like PPC69ANb3K0-01578-00435879-00436010 what are you talking about who PPC69ANb3K0-01579-00436010-00436229 understand that if we don't do something PPC69ANb3K0-01580-00436230-00436610 right now about how we are consuming PPC69ANb3K0-01581-00436610-00436810 protein and that the fact that we can't PPC69ANb3K0-01582-00436812-00437075 not continue to raise teal and slaughter PPC69ANb3K0-01583-00437076-00437327 animals the way that we are doing now we PPC69ANb3K0-01584-00437328-00437627 are going to be in huge problems so PPC69ANb3K0-01585-00437628-00437924 intro Detroit

thinking about growing food PPC69ANb3K0-01599-00440805-00441050 like how we're going to consume it but PPC69ANb3K0-01600-00441051-00441335 they're also thinking about growing like PPC69ANb3K0-01601-00441335-00441412 can PPC69ANb3K0-01602-00441413-00441712 and how cannabis is also going to be PPC69ANb3K0-01603-00441713-00441943 used in like food products so medicinal

PPC69ANb3K0-01609-00442876-00443137 this is for real this happen just I was PPC69ANb3K0-01610-00443138-00443266 just up at the University of Michigan PPC69ANb3K0-01611-00443267-00443418 and I got my smarten one of my PPC69ANb3K0-01612-00443419-00443550 entrepreneurs got their wrist slapped PPC69ANb3K0-01613-00443551-00443704 for this and you know it was it was it PPC69ANb3K0-01614-00443705-00443962 was kind of controversial because this PPC69ANb3K0-01615-00443963-00444087 entrepreneur is starting something PPC69ANb3K0-01616-00444088-00444291 that's called grass-fed bakery and we PPC69ANb3K0-01617-00444292-00444543 thought Oh grass-fed cows and stuff and PPC69ANb3K0-01618-00444544-00444700 the milk is going to be like you know PPC69ANb3K0-01619-00444701-00444877 organic milk and it's gonna be bigger PPC69ANb3K0-01620-00444878-00445200 she was my girl no that's no I'm talking PPC69ANb3K0-01621-00445201-00445644 about grass

PPC69ANb3K0-01624-00446113-00446283 putting cannabis in a baker good but PPC69ANb3K0-01625-00446284-00446377 here's the problem this is what I PPC69ANb3K0-01626-00446378-00446575 learned this is why policy is so PPC69ANb3K0-01627-00446576-00447045 important and so right now cannabis can PPC69ANb3K0-01628-00447046-00447270 only be sold through dispensaries right PPC69ANb3K0-01629-00447271-00447570 and and and it can only be sold to PPC69ANb3K0-01630-00447571-00447727 people on how it is in New York but in PPC69ANb3K0-01631-00447728-00447891 put in Michigan where people with like PPC69ANb3K0-01632-00447892-00448098 medicinal cards and they have to go to PPC69ANb3K0-01633-00448099-00448320 dispensaries in order to get it and I PPC69ANb3K0-01634-00448321-00448596 heard that what right now was holding up PPC69ANb3K0-01635-00448597-00448866 legislation in order to open up the PPC69ANb3K0-01636-00448867-00449077 cannabis market in Michigan wide open is PPC69ANb3K0-01637-00449078-00449412 Big Pharma in r.j. Nabisco they want to PPC69ANb3K0-01638-00449413-00449697 write the policy around how to grow it PPC69ANb3K0-01639-00449698-00449958 who's gonna own the industry who's gonna PPC69ANb3K0-01640-00449959-00450141 own the fields and I thought to myself PPC69ANb3K0-01641-00450142-00450325 this is nothing but systemic and PPC69ANb3K0-01642-00450326-00450552 institutional racism all over again PPC69ANb3K0-01643-00450553-00450906 shutting out entrepreneurs like who have PPC69ANb3K0-01644-00450907-00451194 this these brilliant ideas and how to be PPC69ANb3K0-01645-00451195-00451389 a part of what I would call the new PPC69ANb3K0-01646-00451390-00451668 future of food it is more than just PPC69ANb3K0-01647-00451669-00451800 grunting there's nothing wrong with PPC69ANb3K0-01648-00451801-00452037 growing growing tomatoes and carrots and PPC69ANb3K0-01649-00452038-00452287 potatoes and you listen I get that but PPC69ANb3K0-01650-00452288-00452416 they're entrepreneurs who are thinking PPC69ANb3K0-01651-00452417-00452677 far beyond that you're thinking far PPC69ANb3K0-01652-00452678-00452868 behind that they're thinking about not PPC69ANb3K0-01653-00452869-00453072 only soil to grow but they're thinking PPC69ANb3K0-01654-00453073-00453258 about hydroponics right it's thinking PPC69ANb3K0-01655-00453259-00453516 about how to grow inside and so you're PPC69ANb3K0-01656-00453517-00453669 absolutely right but if we aren't PPC69ANb3K0-01657-00453670-00453816 exposing these young people if there's PPC69ANb3K0-01658-00453817-00453979 not policy out there to support these PPC69ANb3K0-01659-00453980-00454183 entrepreneurs particularly entrepreneurs PPC69ANb3K0-01660-00454184-00454371 of color like we're gonna be shutting PPC69ANb3K0-01661-00454372-00454548 them out of another billion-dollar PPC69ANb3K0-01662-00454549-00454737 industry PPC69ANb3K0-01663-00454738-00454957 right and I need if I'm just speaking PPC69ANb3K0-01664-00454958-00455118 for myself KP you can go ahead and touch PPC69ANb3K0-01665-00455119-00455337 on this but that the thing is is that I PPC69ANb3K0-01666-00455338-00455584 need to support and encourage you notice PPC69ANb3K0-01667-00455585-00455820 but I need and I'm just gonna speak to PPC69ANb3K0-01668-00455821-00455926 intervene because I can't speak for PPC69ANb3K0-01669-00455927-00456191 anybody else like the support of like PPC69ANb3K0-01670-00456192-00456612 local or local officials and we need we PPC69ANb3K0-01671-00456613-00456768 statewide officials and federal PPC69ANb3K0-01672-00456769-00456972 officials so that we can start to shape PPC69ANb3K0-01673-00456973-00457260 and create policy of what we want to see PPC69ANb3K0-01674-00457261-00457764 our cities look like in the future like PPC69ANb3K0-01675-00457765-00458089 not right now cuz we beyond like rooftop PPC69ANb3K0-01676-00458089-00458308 garden in Detroit like we're beyond not PPC69ANb3K0-01677-00458309-00458545 like wheatley beyond all of that now PPC69ANb3K0-01678-00458546-00458803 we're really thinking about new it into PPC69ANb3K0-01679-00458804-00459103 innovative innovative ways on how to not PPC69ANb3K0-01680-00459104-00459310 only grow food but we're really starting PPC69ANb3K0-01681-00459310-00459516 to think about what the food is going to PPC69ANb3K0-01682-00459517-00459966 be of tomorrow and we don't we we're PPC69ANb3K0-01683-00459967-00460191 also we're addressing that in Oaksterdam PPC69ANb3K0-01684-00460192-00460716 I mean Oakland so in in Oakland in terms PPC69ANb3K0-01685-00460717-00460974 of the policy around medicinal marijuana PPC69ANb3K0-01686-00460975-00461466 they are they are allocating licenses PPC69ANb3K0-01687-00461467-00461747 for dispensaries for people of color PPC69ANb3K0-01688-00461748-00462216 they have set aside a certain number of PPC69ANb3K0-01689-00462217-00462751 licenses specifically for that and my PPC69ANb3K0-01690-00462752-00462918 daughter has applied for one that's PPC69ANb3K0-01691-00462919-00463054 policy that you're talking about that's PPC69ANb3K0-01692-00463055-00463260 the policy you know I have adult

of in PPC69ANb3K0-01696-00464405-00464680 terms of you mean our in terms of how PPC69ANb3K0-01697-00464681-00464995 we're addressing climate change and PPC69ANb3K0-01698-00464996-00465451 resilient communities when you see you PPC69ANb3K0-01699-00465452-00465712 know the people who who are you know PPC69ANb3K0-01700-00465713-00466020 really frontline suffering from some of PPC69ANb3K0-01701-00466021-00466212 these natural disasters you know for the PPC69ANb3K0-01702-00466213-00466360 most part it's the poorest people PPC69ANb3K0-01703-00466360-00466470 suffered the most PPC69ANb3K0-01704-00466471-00466758 so it's economic it's an economic piece PPC69ANb3K0-01705-00466759-00467089 so what we're trying to do in in it Red PPC69ANb3K0-01706-00467089-00467310 Bay is you know in our little piece and PPC69ANb3K0-01707-00467311-00467554 in terms of creating a model is trying PPC69ANb3K0-01708-00467555-00467808 to create some more economic justice PPC69ANb3K0-01709-00467809-00468121 model where where folks are one they PPC69ANb3K0-01710-00468122-00468417 getting paid more so they could create PPC69ANb3K0-01711-00468418-00468655 situations and be more resilient for PPC69ANb3K0-01712-00468656-00468883 their families and just live in a safer PPC69ANb3K0-01713-00468884-00469183 environment you know and part of the PPC69ANb3K0-01714-00469184-00469368 part of doing that is not just paying PPC69ANb3K0-01715-00469370-00469618 them a bit more but also trying to get PPC69ANb3K0-01716-00469618-00469774 them to think

PPC69ANb3K0-01719-00470414-00470674 business we have since some of the PPC69ANb3K0-01720-00470675-00470941 revenue is tied into the profits now the PPC69ANb3K0-01721-00470942-00471109 sudden instead of just clocking in and PPC69ANb3K0-01722-00471110-00471250 clocking out and they know how much PPC69ANb3K0-01723-00471251-00471502 they're going to make they're invested PPC69ANb3K0-01724-00471503-00471964 in how to how to make that business and PPC69ANb3K0-01725-00471964-00472213 make more money so we have monthly PPC69ANb3K0-01726-00472214-00472462 meetings around

generate greater profits one you know in PPC69ANb3K0-01730-00473414-00473647 terms of our product we've got one PPC69ANb3K0-01731-00473647-00473868 product and it's coffee and coffee is PPC69ANb3K0-01732-00473870-00474100 you know grown around the world in a lot PPC69ANb3K0-01733-00474101-00474393 of very vulnerable communities and it's PPC69ANb3K0-01734-00474395-00474724 a coffee is a vulnerable from product PPC69ANb3K0-01735-00474725-00474979 agricultural product it is you know it's PPC69ANb3K0-01736-00474980-00475357 a commodity so it it fluctuates and and PPC69ANb3K0-01737-00475358-00475534 it's a volatile commodity that could PPC69ANb3K0-01738-00475535-00475722 save so we're doing you know some of the PPC69ANb3K0-01739-00475724-00475924 same things we're doing here you know PPC69ANb3K0-01740-00475925-00476245 we're we're finding ways to support our PPC69ANb3K0-01741-00476246-00476497 farmers in order to make them more PPC69ANb3K0-01742-00476497-00476914 resilient for instance you know today PPC69ANb3K0-01743-00476914-00477139 the commodity price for coffee is about PPC69ANb3K0-01744-00477139-00477475 a dollar forty one with Fairtrade coffee PPC69ANb3K0-01745-00477476-00477772 you know they'll add 50 cents so now 50 PPC69ANb3K0-01746-00477772-00477979 cents will go back to the farm to their PPC69ANb3K0-01747-00477980-00478185 co-op or their family farm and they're PPC69ANb3K0-01748-00478187-00478414 able to spend that 50 cents how they PPC69ANb3K0-01749-00478414-00478597 want so that's like a dollar ninety one PPC69ANb3K0-01750-00478597-00479029 a pound so for a dollar ninety one under PPC69ANb3K0-01751-00479030-00479338 a fair trade system those farmers are PPC69ANb3K0-01752-00479339-00479860 incentivized to grow more coffee it Red PPC69ANb3K0-01753-00479860-00480151 Bay coffee what we do is we have direct PPC69ANb3K0-01754-00480152-00480424 trade relationships with 90 percent of PPC69ANb3K0-01755-00480425-00480691 our farms and what that means is is PPC69ANb3K0-01756-00480692-00481029 we're able to one influence the PPC69ANb3K0-01757-00481030-00481345 processes on on how they grow their PPC69ANb3K0-01758-00481346-00481462 coffee PPC69ANb3K0-01759-00481463-00481814 but we're also able to incentivize them PPC69ANb3K0-01760-00481814-00482135 to grow better quality coffee and we do PPC69ANb3K0-01761-00482135-00482285 that by paying them more money PPC69ANb3K0-01762-00482285-00482560 the average price that we pay is three PPC69ANb3K0-01763-00482561-00482834 dollars and 30 cents per pound so we're PPC69ANb3K0-01764-00482835-00483005 almost doubling know we're greater than PPC69ANb3K0-01765-00483006-00483224 doubling in the commodity price but PPC69ANb3K0-01766-00483225-00483422 we're doing that for them to pick only PPC69ANb3K0-01767-00483422-00483664 the coffee's of fruit it grows on a PPC69ANb3K0-01768-00483665-00483980 shrub it the fruit is called a cherry PPC69ANb3K0-01769-00483981-00484259 the the pit of that cherry is the coffee PPC69ANb3K0-01770-00484260-00484676 bean now generally when you know most of PPC69ANb3K0-01771-00484677-00485072 the coffee is ripe is red when most of PPC69ANb3K0-01772-00485072-00485231 it is red they just harvest the whole PPC69ANb3K0-01773-00485232-00485408 thing it's cheap and it's efficient oh PPC69ANb3K0-01774-00485409-00485549 that's the cheapest and most efficient PPC69ANb3K0-01775-00485550-00485858 way to do it we incentivize them to grow PPC69ANb3K0-01776-00485859-00486130 pick only harvest the red cherries only PPC69ANb3K0-01777-00486131-00486418 and you know it takes more work they PPC69ANb3K0-01778-00486419-00486685 have to go through two or three passes PPC69ANb3K0-01779-00486685-00486932 but they could take pride in growing PPC69ANb3K0-01780-00486933-00487145 quality and they're also getting paid to PPC69ANb3K0-01781-00487146-00487451 do that so so with and they're also able PPC69ANb3K0-01782-00487452-00487814 to hold on to their land as well right PPC69ANb3K0-01783-00487814-00488039 so even when the price the general PPC69ANb3K0-01784-00488039-00488279 commodity price dips below a certain PPC69ANb3K0-01785-00488280-00488572 liveable wage you know it's it's not PPC69ANb3K0-01786-00488573-00488672 untypical PPC69ANb3K0-01787-00488672-00488920 for coffee farmers to abandon their PPC69ANb3K0-01788-00488921-00489137 farms it's just not even worth it for PPC69ANb3K0-01789-00489138-00489418 them to harvest the coffee you know so PPC69ANb3K0-01790-00489419-00489712 so what that's that's why we're sort of PPC69ANb3K0-01791-00489713-00489884 work doing the work that we're doing is PPC69ANb3K0-01792-00489885-00490145 one they could hold on to the land and PPC69ANb3K0-01793-00490146-00490412 when the environmental climate PPC69ANb3K0-01794-00490413-00490643 challenges happen they're able to be PPC69ANb3K0-01795-00490643-00490972 more resilient at that time so I think PPC69ANb3K0-01796-00490973-00491153 we have time for just one more question PPC69ANb3K0-01797-00491154-00491357 is there anybody who hasn't had a chance PPC69ANb3K0-01798-00491358-00492242 to share have a question PPC69ANb3K0-01799-00492243-00492534 I just wanted to echo thank you very PPC69ANb3K0-01800-00492535-00492710 much so far for the conversation has PPC69ANb3K0-01801-00492712-00492989 been really incredible and inspiring I'm PPC69ANb3K0-01802-00492991-00493347 actually wondering from a school PPC69ANb3K0-01803-00493347-00493595 scholastically from an education PPC69ANb3K0-01804-00493596-00494034 standpoint especially a youth education PPC69ANb3K0-01805-00494035-00494253 high school grade school PPC69ANb3K0-01806-00494254-00494501 I've heard that talked about as much PPC69ANb3K0-01807-00494502-00494745 what is some of the connections in PPC69ANb3K0-01808-00494746-00495135 Detroit in in in California to what's PPC69ANb3K0-01809-00495135-00495297 your mindset related to the kind of PPC69ANb3K0-01810-00495297-00495555 educational infrastructure getting some PPC69ANb3K0-01811-00495556-00495930 of these ideas you know beyond just the PPC69ANb3K0-01812-00495931-00496167 business model or the genius PPC69ANb3K0-01813-00496168-00496302 entrepreneur that has a really good idea PPC69ANb3K0-01814-00496303-00496575 but even into like a core curriculum or PPC69ANb3K0-01815-00496576-00496833 something that's for the for the youth PPC69ANb3K0-01816-00496834-00496995 how's that getting how are you thinking PPC69ANb3K0-01817-00496996-00497783 about that from a detroit perspective PPC69ANb3K0-01818-00497784-00498153 and what i what I'll say is I'm going to PPC69ANb3K0-01819-00498154-00498402 echo a sentiment that I said earlier and PPC69ANb3K0-01820-00498403-00498722 that is you you can't build it and PPC69ANb3K0-01821-00498723-00498888 expect for them to come there's been PPC69ANb3K0-01822-00498889-00499224 numerous there's a word that I just have PPC69ANb3K0-01823-00499225-00499568 a complete visceral reaction to because PPC69ANb3K0-01824-00499569-00499797 it really is based around like the PPC69ANb3K0-01825-00499797-00500018 solution is all about economics when PPC69ANb3K0-01826-00500019-00500277 it's not and that word is food desert PPC69ANb3K0-01827-00500278-00500505 like I have a total visceral reaction to PPC69ANb3K0-01828-00500506-00500853 it because it the work that really came PPC69ANb3K0-01829-00500854-00501339 out of academia and it has been used as PPC69ANb3K0-01830-00501339-00501668 an economic development play for PPC69ANb3K0-01831-00501668-00501920 supermarkets usually corporate based PPC69ANb3K0-01832-00501921-00502077 supermarkets to get what's called new PPC69ANb3K0-01833-00502078-00502318 market tax credits to create PPC69ANb3K0-01834-00502319-00502584 supermarkets and what they call these PPC69ANb3K0-01835-00502585-00502914 food desert areas and studies now have PPC69ANb3K0-01836-00502914-00503130 shown that those supermarkets that have PPC69ANb3K0-01837-00503131-00503328 opened grocery stores that have opened PPC69ANb3K0-01838-00503329-00503541 in those communities have done nothing PPC69ANb3K0-01839-00503542-00503972 to change like the dietary like PPC69ANb3K0-01840-00503972-00504267 challenges or the health risk in those PPC69ANb3K0-01841-00504268-00504459 communities at all right and it is PPC69ANb3K0-01842-00504460-00504741 because you cannot just build a grocery PPC69ANb3K0-01843-00504742-00504993 store in a supermarket without that very PPC69ANb3K0-01844-00504993-00505241 much so educational component that that PPC69ANb3K0-01845-00505242-00505385 educational piece because if PPC69ANb3K0-01846-00505387-00505566 you put a supermarket there without the PPC69ANb3K0-01847-00505567-00505878 educational component period the kids go PPC69ANb3K0-01848-00505879-00506070 for the hot Doritos all the time right PPC69ANb3K0-01849-00506071-00506339 or that busy single mother who's right PPC69ANb3K0-01850-00506341-00506526 maybe you know working two jobs or just PPC69ANb3K0-01851-00506527-00506751 in the other and she's like just trying PPC69ANb3K0-01852-00506752-00506949 and like get food on the table like she PPC69ANb3K0-01853-00506950-00507138 may go for the process of meat right or PPC69ANb3K0-01854-00507139-00507381 I was at the farm just recently and I PPC69ANb3K0-01855-00507382-00507603 was with the young what the young he was PPC69ANb3K0-01856-00507604-00507909 in middle school I was what is 6th grade PPC69ANb3K0-01857-00507910-00507999 is that middle school was that PPC69ANb3K0-01858-00508000-00508152 elementary that's middle school right PPC69ANb3K0-01859-00508153-00508389 and he said to me he said mr. Feder what PPC69ANb3K0-01860-00508389-00508596 is that you're holding in your hand and PPC69ANb3K0-01861-00508597-00508914 I said this and he said yeah what's that PPC69ANb3K0-01862-00508914-00509346 and I said this is a sweet potato like PPC69ANb3K0-01863-00509347-00509604 he was kind of like oh this is what PPC69ANb3K0-01864-00509605-00509796 sweet potatoes look like I said well PPC69ANb3K0-01865-00509797-00509970 yeah where did you think sweet potatoes PPC69ANb3K0-01866-00509971-00510102 came from do you like sweet potato pies PPC69ANb3K0-01867-00510103-00510285 and sweet potato pies my favorite I love PPC69ANb3K0-01868-00510285-00510462 sweet potato pie I said we think the PPC69ANb3K0-01869-00510463-00510618 sweet potatoes pop the sweep said it PPC69ANb3K0-01870-00510618-00510804 came from he said I thought potatoes PPC69ANb3K0-01871-00510805-00511002 came and he can like sitting like no PPC69ANb3K0-01872-00511003-00511203 seriously that's what he thought and so PPC69ANb3K0-01873-00511204-00511404 that so here's the thing and so when I PPC69ANb3K0-01874-00511405-00511610 talk to you when I said and brought this PPC69ANb3K0-01875-00511612-00511851 slide up earlier and I said that Detroit PPC69ANb3K0-01876-00511852-00512241 has over 1500 community farms like that PPC69ANb3K0-01877-00512242-00512445 on me or core community gardens like or PPC69ANb3K0-01878-00512446-00512667 gosh it's though it's 1500 gardens like PPC69ANb3K0-01879-00512668-00512859 that number is like that's impressive PPC69ANb3K0-01880-00512860-00513114 like it's 1500 gardens in Detroit but a PPC69ANb3K0-01881-00513114-00513393 large majority of that 1500 is like PPC69ANb3K0-01882-00513393-00513651 family farms or family gardens in PPC69ANb3K0-01883-00513652-00513912 people's home and so that 1500 is broken PPC69ANb3K0-01884-00513913-00514118 down and not only family gardens but PPC69ANb3K0-01885-00514120-00514347 school gardens community gardens and PPC69ANb3K0-01886-00514347-00514488 something that we call market gardens PPC69ANb3K0-01887-00514489-00514629 like that's the entrepreneurial piece PPC69ANb3K0-01888-00514630-00514827 but here's the most important thing PPC69ANb3K0-01889-00514828-00515145 that's impressive like 1500 gardens but PPC69ANb3K0-01890-00515146-00515379 what's even more impressive that during PPC69ANb3K0-01891-00515380-00515772 the season over 50,000 Detroiters are PPC69ANb3K0-01892-00515772-00516068 engaged in

PPC69ANb3K0-01900-00517572-00517842 kiba his name is Ron Finley in Dakota PPC69ANb3K0-01901-00517843-00518049 common against the gardener and Ron said PPC69ANb3K0-01902-00518050-00518295 when kids

component if you have a PPC69ANb3K0-01906-00518847-00519122 child who has a relationship with food PPC69ANb3K0-01907-00519124-00519408 and can grow that food they will eat it PPC69ANb3K0-01908-00519409-00519647 and be curious about it so everything PPC69ANb3K0-01909-00519649-00519902 that that even though I'm talking about PPC69ANb3K0-01910-00519903-00520116 entrepreneurship like building PPC69ANb3K0-01911-00520117-00520380 businesses I love what Kiva said is that PPC69ANb3K0-01912-00520381-00520599 where we try to train the entrepreneurs PPC69ANb3K0-01913-00520600-00520772 the business owners is how are you PPC69ANb3K0-01914-00520774-00521097 educating the consumer how are you PPC69ANb3K0-01915-00521097-00521343 educating the staff and let me tell you PPC69ANb3K0-01916-00521343-00521505 something and I say this because my PPC69ANb3K0-01917-00521506-00521799 goddaughter is nine years old now PPC69ANb3K0-01918-00521800-00522096 she lives in Harlem oh I'm sure she PPC69ANb3K0-01919-00522097-00522324 lives in the Bronx now she goes and PPC69ANb3K0-01920-00522325-00522567 dances at a Harlem School of Arts and PPC69ANb3K0-01921-00522568-00522855 she has been probably a vegetarian since PPC69ANb3K0-01922-00522856-00523062 she was six years old right I blame a PPC69ANb3K0-01923-00523063-00523260 lot of that cuz who ever let her see PPC69ANb3K0-01924-00523260-00523551 Food Inc I don't even know what like who PPC69ANb3K0-01925-00523552-00523707 lets the six-year-old watch that she's PPC69ANb3K0-01926-00523708-00523839 just kind of like to her brother Lance PPC69ANb3K0-01927-00523839-00524025 you know you're eating a cow right that PPC69ANb3K0-01928-00524026-00524247 hamburger like a cow died for you to eat PPC69ANb3K0-01929-00524247-00524403 that like I don't eat that but the only PPC69ANb3K0-01930-00524404-00524847 reason why I say that is because what is PPC69ANb3K0-01931-00524848-00525099 so important is that the number one PPC69ANb3K0-01932-00525100-00525714 influencers on parents are their kids if PPC69ANb3K0-01933-00525715-00525990 you can get two
