Second Panel Discussion on COVID-19 Preparedness
Tired of Reading? Please listen to the blog
On May 8, 2020, Texila American University (TAU) had organized the second panel discussion on COVID-19 preparedness on the topic "Medical Education During COVID- 19." The discussion was conducted on the TAU's virtual platform that had seen attendance from students, staff, and the faculty.
This was the second panel discussion of the series planned by TAU's COVID task force team.
Dr. Navin Rambaran, Chairman of Medical Council of Guyana
Dr. Dheeraj Bansal, Dean, College of Medicine, TAU
Dr. Hugh Duckworth, Chief Academic Officer, TAU
The discussion started with Dr. Rambaran's update on the current status of COVID-19 in Guyana. He announced that:
Guyana has 82 positive cases with 10 deaths.
Guyana has faced some technical issues in Coronavirus tests; however, this issue has been rectified, and hence, the country has seen the spike in cases.
GPHC has been identified as the main hospital for treating critically ill patients infected with COVID-19 and required intensive care.
Tests are being conducted on patients in the transition ward.
Private labs have also been insisted on conducting the COVID-19 test.
Guyana is looking to implement broad-based testing to test more samples and identify positive ones faster.
Dr. Rambaran also indicated that Guyana had commenced its preparations to have isolation wards and intensive units several weeks before the first case had been recorded. He further insisted that the country would require to enforce its team to conduct more testing and identify hotspots.
Dr. Dheeraj thanked Dr. Rambaran for a compressive update on the current situation in Guyana.
Dr. Navin indicated that they are using two types of testing to ensure the positive cases: (1) real-time PCR that checks RNA, which is of gold standard, and (2) rapid testing that checks for the antibodies.
Besides these updates, the team had discussed how we foresee medical education in the future.
A question had been raised to Dr. Hugh. On the view of basic science medical education, what kind of change do you see happening in the USA and now evolving worldwide?
Dr. Hugh answered that based on the webinar conducted by LCME, TAU is on par with all the schools in the USA with the commencement of its online classes.
Dr. Dheeraj indicated that technology would have a big part in medical education going forward. He gave a brief on steps taken by TAU in light of the present pandemic. He also stated that TAU had already moved all its classes to an online platform for MD 1 to MD 4. The major challenge will be on conducting the Mid-Term Examinations online.
Future Chances for Some Online Teaching That Will Continue
Dr. Rambaran stated that this is the stimulus of bringing classes online and electronic interfaces. He stated that this would allow us to move out of our comfort zones and adapt to a new normal.
Dr. Hugh said that these are very acute challenges we have to adapt. We are adhering to technology that is appearing on the scene slowly over the years in medical education. We have started adapting these changes and remote technologies.
These are very rough times for students and faculty to adapt to these new normal and use these remote tools to impact medical education positively.
Mr. Syam questioned Dr. Dheeraj on how he sees some of the medical schools handling lab sessions that is not possible online.
Many institutions are revisiting the number of lab sessions needed. Dr. Dheeraj stated that many schools are recording lab sessions and sharing the videos with students. The challenging part of this issue would be a real-time experience.
Dr. Rambaram said that one of the main limitations is the real-time experience that may be required to a certain extent where it cannot be done virtually. We may be faced with a situation where we have to maximize the use of virtual interfaces and plan more select sessions or practical attendance and interaction with models or patients. It is adaptable.
Dr. Hugh agreed to the general discussion on virtual learning and technology. The first answer for hands-on clinical training was the use of standardized patients. Dr. Hugh also stressed that we would see more and more use of standardized patients.
What Do We Do with Clinical Rotations?
Dr. Dheeraj exclaimed that clinical rotations rely solely on hands-on training. How do we address this challenge? What can be and cannot be done to keep students engaged?
Dr. Rambaran stated that the use of standardized patients for training, recognizing the limitations on hands-on, real-time experience, the transition of learning, and developing the skills may not be there. What we are doing in the interim is the use of online training with standardized patients. A virtual interface for clinical training can do done in a research setting with all the necessary checks and balances in place.
Dr. Hugh asked, "How do we fill in the gaps in the lockdown, and how do we adapt once hospitals reopened?" And said, "we will have to adapt to didactics and other types of virtual learning to fill in the gaps."
Dr. Dheeraj also asked, "many hospitals are recording the rounds by residents. Is this something that can happen at GPHC?"
Dr. Rambaran said that the major issue would be maintaining patients' confidentiality. Once the privacy and confidentiality of patients are assured, there will be no other legal hurdles or ramifications.
Plans are also there to do didactics classes upfront, which is accepted by all clinicians.
Dr. Dheeraj stated that the new normal for students restarting clinical rotations would have to be dressed in full PPE gears. Dr. Rambaran and Dr. Hugh echoed this sentiment. Students will have to be more careful and cautious and be in full PPE at all times.
A question had been raised. Can the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), a clinical exit exam, be conducted online?
Dr. Dheeraj stated that this option is doable once we have a panel of doctors online following the same matrix we follow during face-to-face exams and requested Dr. Rambaran and Dr. Hugh to share their views. Dr. Rambaran also agreed that this is doable with the necessary safeguards in place. Students have to progress, and on the other hand, systems have to ensure that there is no compromise in quality treatment to patients.
Having said that, how do you fulfill these requirements? This is quite debatable. How do we safeguard the competency levels bear in mind that there is justice for the students, patients, and health system globally?
Dr. Rambaran stressed that globally, the majority of the schools had extended the timeline to conduct examinations and pushed back graduations. He stated that this is totally in the hands of the universities. Dr. Rambaran indicated that we should not comprise the competency of the graduates.
Dr. Hugh said, "before pandemic days, we would have never considered having OSCE online. We will defiantly have to discuss the way forward. We will try our best to train our students in the best competency level."
Dr. Rambaram again stressed that all stakeholders would have to put their heads together to come up with a plan on the way forward.
Dr. Dhreeraj concluded by saying that we are all in this together as we have never faced a pandemic before, and we will be up to the challenges to make adjustments given the uncharted waters we are in at this moment. We are going to keep exploring without comprising the quality of education that every student deserves.
Dr. Dheeraj thanked panel members for taking the time to participate in the discussion.

This song is by Nomeansno and appears on the album The Day Everything Became Nothing (1988) and on the album Live + Cuddly (1991).
I was standing underneath a streetlight, Wishing I'had a cigarette.
I can't recall anything unusual about it.
If the skies had clouded over, I'wasn't aware, I'was too bored to care.
No thunder roared. No lightning cracked.
No missiles rained from the sky. This was no sneak attack.
There was just suddenly this awful lack.
Things had changed, that's for sure.
The day everything became nothing, you couldn't put your finger on what had gone wrong.
In people's faces, in their eyes... a mixture of horror and total surprise.
No one screamed, no one even asked why.
It was just like everything had somehow, quietly died.
I can't recall much of what happened next.
I was on my way to visit this woman I'knew.
And now I'couldn't even remember her address.
A group of us, just strangers, got together and we formed a committee to discuss the problem.
We talked about things like assured mutual destruction and emotional responsibility.
I couldn't remember my name, so I'called myself bob.
It's weird being a bob, but I'll get used to it.

It's crunch time when it comes to holiday shopping. While stores like Kohl's will be open around the clock for the days before Christmas, many of us will be shopping online or shipping gifts. This process can be convenient, but it can also be costly. Here are a few things to keep in mind to help keep budget and anxiety under control.
The United States Postal Service expects to deliver up to 470 million packages between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve this year, and that would be 50 million more than last holiday season. FedEx and UPS also have forecasted record delivery volume. Incredible numbers.
With those incredible numbers, it is no surprise also comes a fair number of complaints. According to Consumer Reports' shipping survey cost is the most common complaint. They did a little research to compare FedEx, UPS and USPS shipping rates. They mailed the same size package from and to the same location using the three shippers for ground, two-day, and overnight deliveries. In all cases the USPS was the least expensive.
One of the other common complaints was packages that went missing. It is sad, but not surprising that with countless packages delivered to doorsteps this time of year that there are thieves who see opportunity. The survey revealed that 4 out of 10 people had the Grinch-like experience of having a package stolen from their doorstep. There are a few suggestions to avoid the inconvenience and disgust of this experience. If you can, have your packages delivered where someone will be present when it arrives. If this isn't an option consider adding insurance. FedEx, UPS, and USPS Priority Mail Express cover up to $100 automatically. If your package is worth more additional insurance is available with all companies.
A third complaint was breakage. Imagine that number of packages traveling about the country and it isn't hard to believe that packages could be bumped and bruised along the way. Take the time to pack with care. Because weight is a determining factor in cost use bubble wrap and packing peanuts to protect breakables without adding to the cost.
Here is an interesting and useful table that includes shipping deadlines, costs, and shopping stats: http://colderice.com/your-ultimate-check-list-for-holiday-shopping-and-shipping/ It can be a handy reference in the days ahead. According to this, gift cards were the most popular gift purchased last year. Personally, I love to receive gift cards and buying them is certainly convenient too.
Happy shopping and shipping. Try to smile at the fellow shippers in line at the post office – it goes a long way in making the season bright!

From 'Empire' To 'The L Word,' How A Creative Boss Gets It Done
By Tricia Bobeda, Greta Johnsen
Feb. 16, 2018, 12:01 a.m. CT
Listen 24:42
Ilene Chaiken is a writer and television producer known for creating 'The L Word,' a TV drama that portrayed the lives of a group of lesbians and their friends and families. The show aired on Showtime for six seasons from 2004 to 2009. Ricky Middlesworth
Ilene Chaiken has been a showrunner for TV hits like Fox's Empire, an executive producer for Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, and a writer, producer, and director for Showtime's The L Word in the mid-2000s.
In other words, she's a boss.
"I don't like the word that much," Chaiken said on Nerdette. "I mean, I like it as in, 'Oh, she's a boss.' You know, 'She's a badass. She's a boss.' But I don't like the kind of hierarchical aspect of it."
Chaiken talked with Nerdette co-hosts Tricia Bobeda and Greta Johnsen about the upcoming reboot of The L Word, her recently greenlit pilot project with Fox, and about how she became a boss. Below are highlights from the boss part of the conversation.
Trust your gut and listen to others
Tricia Bobeda: How much of being good at running a business, or running a show, do you think is about listening to others versus listening to your gut?
Ilene Chaiken: I don't think that those two things are distinct from one another. I think that they're both essential, and listening to my gut is what tells me to listen to others.
Know the difference between diversity and inclusion
Chaiken: Diversity is a word that's been probably misused because you can have diversity in a room of only women or of only African-Americans. People are diverse. People are different from one another. I think this is a point that Shonda Rhimes makes all the time: that the word diversity is misleading and it's the wrong word.
Inclusivity or inclusion is probably a more accurate word for what we mean to say, which is a conversation among creative people that includes a lot of different worldviews and experiences and cultures and ethnicities and religions and everything else that we want to represent in our storytelling.
Hang on to all the skills you pick up
Chaiken: I didn't set out to be a boss. I wasn't raised or reared to be a boss. I set out to be a filmmaker — to be an artist really — but somewhere along the way I acquired these executive skills and I seem to be a boss in some way or another.
Greta Johnsen: Was it something that came naturally to you?
Chaiken: It did come naturally to me. What I mean specifically — when I talk about getting executive skills over time — is that I came out to Hollywood and got that job at Creative Artists Agency and spent the first 10 years of my career being an executive. I wanted to write, I wanted to make films, but I was terrified. I needed to make a living. And I went from CAA to a development job, to a slightly bigger development job, to a VP at a TV company job. I worked with writers. I worked with people that were doing what I wanted to do.
But I was an executive. I learned how to manage other executives. I had subordinates, and I learned executive skills by being an executive. When I became a writer, I understood the way the business worked. And I understood — I think better than a lot of baby writers — how to talk to the executives. And then when I became a TV showrunner, I had a bunch of skills that a lot of TV writers don't initially have that had to deal with organizing a room, how to delegate, how to work with other people.
Johnsen: It's like you snuck in the side door at the movie theater.
Chaiken: I think that's exactly what it is.
Homework from Ilene
Chaiken: I want to know who hasn't seen herself — and I'll just make it gendered — who hasn't seen herself represented on television, and what would she like to see?
Got an answer to Ilene's question? Tell us on Twitter @NerdettePodcast and @IleneChaiken.

Abe Lincoln Crosses a Creek
Schwartz & Wade
JUST IN TIME for the 200th anniversary of his birth comes this ingenious picture book of historical fiction about our 16th president of the United States. It's a tale of two boys who get themselves into more trouble than bear cubs in a candy store during the year 1816. Abe is only seven years old, and his pal, Austin, is ten.
Abe and Austin decide to journey down to Knob Creek. The water looks scary and deep, and Austin points out that they don't know how to swim. Nevertheless, they decide to traverse it. I won't tell you what happens, but let's just say that our country wouldn't be the same if Austin hadn't been there to help his friend.
John Hendrix - At this very moment, John is teaching undergraduate illustration at Washington University in St. Louis, working on several picture books for children, hoping to start an apiary, and changing diapers. He lives in St. Louis with his wife Andrea and son Jack.

Starred Review, Booklist, September 15, 2008:
"This unusual and often amusing picture book offers much more than an illustrated reminiscence."
Starred Review. Kindergarten-Grade 3—Hopkinson has created a lively, participatory tale that will surely stand out among the many titles published to honor the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. With a conspiratorial wink at the audience, an omniscient narrator invites readers to watch seven-year-old Abe and his real-life friend Austin Gollaher succumb to the "dare you" lure of a roaring creek and a perilous crossing on a fallen log (an author's note details the genesis of the story). Imagine where we as a nation might be if unsung-hero Austin hadn't been there to rescue impetuous Abraham from his tumble into those tumultuous waters. In dialogic asides and exclamations, the author addresses the illustrator and brings him (or, rather, his pencil-wielding hand) onstage to collaborate and correct, and also speaks to readers, inviting involvement and evoking response. Hendrix's illustrations have a naive and rustic flavor that's in perfect harmony with the gravelly, homespun narrator's voice (keen-eyed readers will find a rendering of the storyteller in the endpaper art). Energetic spreads give a big, broad, horizontal view of the green Kentucky valley setting with its rambling curves, rolling mountains, and rushing waters, and a very effective impression of how long that creek-crossing must have seemed…maybe. "For that's the thing about history," Hopkinson says, "if you weren't there, you can't know for sure." What you can know for sure is that this is a book you should add to your shelves.—Kathy Krasniewicz, Perrot Library, Old Greenwich, CT.

*Starred Review* In 1816, seven-year-old Abe and his friend Austin go down to see Knob Creek, swollen and turbulent after heavy rains, and decide to use a log to cross it. When Abe falls into the water, Austin saves his life and Abe promises that he'll never forget it. Even when he's the president of a war-torn country, Abe fondly remembers his old friend. That's the short version of the story, but this unusual and often amusing picture book offers much more than an illustrated reminiscence. Hopkinson sets a folksy tone at the beginning, saying that she liked this old tale so much that she's asked her friend John "to help out by drawing some pictures." The accompanying maplike ink-and-watercolor artwork shows the landscape of the Kentucky setting along with several elements of the narrative, even as the hand and brush of the illustrator get caught in the act of creating the scene. Hopkinson's comments to herself, her audience, and her friend (the artist) will increase children's awareness of the choices that go into telling a tale, even a supposedly true tale, and illustrating it. On the closing pages, the restatement of the moral is funny as well as thought provoking. Rewarding on many levels, this high-spirited picture book is an engaging example of metafiction for the younger set. Preschool-Grade 3. --Carolyn Phelan

13. Establishing Efficiency Goals
The product design process can fall apart when it focuses too much on the product versus the start-up; Jose addresses how to approach the process with design thinking and efficiency goals in mind. Learn how to use his protocol for developing efficiency goals as a team.

So the last one is efficiency so officials is he's a tough one to explain because efficiency ultimately really is about howto make things easier better um uh like if it's a company for example that has internal communications issues you know you can talk about you know, for a corporate client you can talk about an extra net if it's for us here now it's a start up one of the things that we can do for the already I know brand identity and stuffed into a style guide early so like one of the ways that I execute startups is I don't design the screens I do a style escape which is just a general look and feel of the identity in the brand etcetera we actually have an episode on youtube on the school channel on the school network on style scapes and uh based on the style escape then we do it more granular style guide with fonts, colors and general aspects of the design why do I do that? Because again it's designing the system you're going to change screens a lot and it lets you do high fidelity...
calms quicker so I get wire frames and I already have a style guide boom screen boom screen it makes and I also do something called a startup kit which is where I build all the modules oven application for the ceo and kino why is that good because they can design screens to their heart's content to present to goto investor presentations. It's a pretty good technique to build the product and keynote for the ceo early on oh damn that's way too efficient that's perfect for so this is an example of efficiency. What I just share that's an example those are also examples of efficiency there's development there's like way had a group of developers would be like get a job. You know, we're talking about all the things to make the development process more efficient. It was the mba is that would be talking about, you know, we need, you know, whatever you guys my do, I don't know for efficiency wait a plan, we need a don't know spreadsheet, yes task, whatever those might be so go what other things that we need to do for smart feed for making everything more efficient, agile, training, agile training dan you want, like for the general early, like at the beginning, start with something fun and light, you know, like we need to start a guide, I don't know agile training for the business. Three more efficient products, more fishes into custody so I don't separate them okay, so the reason why I wanted to do revenue, the question is, you know, it's all brainstorm anyway, because we don't know yet, right? We're looking for a business model, which is the definition of starting at the beginning. Another thing when I'm designing a startup, I don't design the product, I designed the startup, so because this you designed to start up, it designs itself design, thinking it's a process and a framework that you can apply to a problems, ibm didn't apply design thinking toe a product they actually started putting design thinking into their culture so that the culture created the innovation. So it's a very interesting insight, I don't design products because I don't believe in products the product will not make you successful that's my belief because I've done so many startups, and especially with product guys with tech guys nine out of ten failed, so the product didn't make him succeed. What? What? What is it that makes him succeed? Because the product is just the user is actually more important than the product, and you can get users without a product just by giving them something. So the question is value, how do you give them value? And you had that in the other one value versus sufficient ese so that's a hard one, because the mistake that I see frequently and I'm switching into teaching, which let's just keep under the exercise, all right? I'll tell you about that mistake later, it's not a mistake, it's just a it's a privatization issue it's what it's what chris was asking for? I call it the brick effect, which is where you put a product into the market that is too much feature rich too early it's harder to gauge which ones are going to stick because you're putting the user has to get through all of those features in order to figure out what the value proposition is versus just saying here's one feature that's valuable potentially notice the story of most start ups to succeed twitter before was twitter. It was actually a micro blogging platform that had a bunch of other features the micro blogging or tweet was the only thing that will survive um you hear it over and over again, it was this big thing it was big, small thing, the school, it was the entire process to run an agency that is our first product, these three exercises where that what everybody said f everything else, dude, we don't really care those things are really cool, everything else we can get somewhere else what do we do? Chopped it all off and just did that happens every time eighty percent of what you launch with we'll be gone, so this is important, but I just going to preach her mother huh? That's exhausting sorry for you more than for me probably. Uh are you ready for ten? Yes go do it I think that's the stiles did you say style scape yes, south style got in soundscapes everything's yes. So style style escape style scape style guide that sure cut a lot of the work so that you're not we working too much too fast I mean big efficiently thing agile is already up there. Uh let's talk about the product that's right after that old sermon let's talk about the product that could make the product more efficient. Yeah, you I used your face is getting them getting people comfortable with testing so we get a lot of feedback quickly testing that's a great one. Um um uh release schedule what I mean by that is and this goes back to agile you have a fix release schedule no matter what. So like you cut features instead of delay, which is what agile does actually. But, uh, I would say a tool for integrated project plan and communicating with people who are inflexible and remote and different looking online collaboration to also like slack or something like that and that we're all using the same one because I think everybody's got comfort with different ones that we're not all like on one good point and that brings up even another one um not just the online collaboration tools etcetera but the investor deck or tools to present so I'll call that flexible till supreme best their tools because you're gonna make things change etcetera you just need a good framework um what else? Early adopters and early early early users beta users you need yeah, well and I'm waiting in crude early many users yeah, I'm taking to the next level because I'm thinking of these this perspective refers so people who are really fired up about the product that's a really good one and you could do that by inviting your home's mailing list bringing them into a session design an agenda session, do something similar to this with them have them designed the product for you I've done that for startups I wish they listen to me but meaning there they listen to their users. Um but that's okay, well, let's go keeping I'm giving two more just two more and we're good efficiency tool sufficiently tools I think ways to distill the complexity um so like a great video that explains what we do in the power of it. Okay, so so we'll call it an explainer video that's super compelling okay and viral okay, okay, hold still out there holding one day at a time and explain their video compelling and viral is there like qualitative attribute the exploiter video but it's a way to scale our outreach to like the parent groups for the soccer team make somehow have our sound bite message that we can scale internees yeah um but but you're talking more adam you can't add a technological level yeah so it's that sack you right so scaling starts first with messaging like a message in style god it's like a clear rally proposition so elevator pitch elevator pitch just tighter is that so you're not writing it every single time it's a process for for let's call it messaging framework not massaging ms jean framework I know what that means it has to be unpacked but I know exactly what you're saying it's like a way that you could do it very easily to all the audiences this is actually a framework for that you can have each user we can choose the value proposition to each user then you can go down to what tone you communicate to each user what's what's a content that we could give the shoes er um this might be an agile training but we need a quick way to test the next ten you know things are hypotheses are there this is missing this is missing this is missing and we need a much faster way to test and learn that we have done to date user feedback yeah but you certainly wait I got it that that that's a tough one hypotheses and it's the holy grail ish but you're right it dovetails back to that alright, so cool let's actually score a quick one because golf I've seen it bounce the difference between a technological, fully integrated solution versus a brute force solution that's people dependent curation of the answer top ten lists interesting that content base testing and it'll actually allows you to say without developing the entire city I love where he's going with us to the user it's blind love it the user does that carry? They don't know what's coming down the pipeline that's an interesting one that's the approach I've used for what I'm doing now that's a slow boat to china the way I'm doing it and my business partners don't necessarily agree with it but now we're accelerating but now we have extremely validated extremely like high fidelity value proposition so it's easy like suddenly the uptick it's faster so there's a balance between all those things and this is a voodoo class for start ups that's going to be the next course I teach how to do start ups with food ooh uh there we go thank you, jim agile training desirability you suggested it's an advocate for it ok, you go with a big smile stass capes I don't know who put that up there but it still escapes tall guy the same thing they're slightly different what its functional operational wants to make the decision as to what it should look like ten after you do that then you do that ten cool you I design it's party idol nine it goes into the style guide so it's gonna happen concurrent testing I know that ten release schedule I advocated for that one so I'm gonna go tonight I'm lying to us communicate this is calm this is an important one that's a ten investor tools that's a damn ten recruit early users that's a ten I'm weighing in on these now here on explainer video I don't know I don't really care too much about it right now the second way yeah that's far more important to hear from a friend about it than to ok yeah so you're you're giving it a seven okay good alright interns in economics question no internal uh yeah seven way let me not a message messaging framework quick way of testing hypotheses that kind of testing thes two are related sorry there that line is in the way I love what he said content based validation that's an awesome one you just throw up a block start giving like the reviews and stuff advocate chris what do you want to get? Ten, ten ten that's a smart one all right, so let's go toe obtain ability or do ability is you have access to agile training and can you do it and you have time nine way we've got access to staff scape hey that's not it's not impossible style guide us a little harder it'll take a little more times as his seven six marry michelle megan megan dammit that's the section over there I think it's to me okay good I like megan's positivity you I design that's a that's a nine that's seen some nine alright alright roger right testing and this is user testing right now we're talking ten awesome that's awesome really schedule so harbour once yeah tied to a job eight online tools to communicate it's choosing and test runs black is grade eight I like it see that it has an app tools investor tools but hey I think we can do that it's easy nine but I'll go because it seems to be a way and I'll give it a name I mean I weighed in ate with her and you did nine so I waited down to recruit early it's not a scientific process but recruit early users no way have some we have already yeah ten boom our access to manage explaining that's different that's a new one so neither we had at has a thing or we're gonna score score tio the dish about how useful this is, how I make it useful explain your video it's not even that well I'm gonna go five dang you're harsh all right you're right you're right I think it's big dollars to do it well you have the product of the script and the structure is really what matters the reading the damn thing kino but yeah the challenge is really what it says and sound effects interns that's a little hard six nobody's into it six messaging framework ate a quick way of testing nine nine tighter raja content based validation that's easier than some of these actually nine especially they're interrelated he's actually not wrong that is actually very right I believe in the power of insurance all right term agile training uh short medium long short of that we're gonna be doing all this it has to be a good sure shorty and sort to me and I am sure to make it out are you got to choose one I'm weighing in at shortstop guide short aren't you okay so here's the thing here is your service provider and you're facilitating I weigh in transparently and I say I think we need to do this so if you're not a service provider in the team you can still weigh in an advocate for what you want that's what the point of the damn processes now somebody can vote you back and say well no I think it's not as important but then the obtain abilities more objective can we really do it if you're the service provider, you're confident in doing it it weighs it up so that's scoring all right so you I design short testing user medium short and medium, but we'll call it medium for now release schedule let's tyto agile short online tools has short some short uh recruit early users it's already being done but can we do the management more long term medium medium explainer video medium uh interns it doesn't sound like there's a lot of will for short, medium medium at least not from the stage chris is in descent I'm with chris so we can't win because I'm not part of the start up but messaging framework but if I wass I would wear on chris aside actually short, I actually think sometimes work you've done with the curation team is part of that solution you know they're a different angle on interns, but they're so what I think they were going to end up being incredibly core I use insurance to do this basically there's a lot of energy and enthusiasm and you don't want to curtail it I just let him go and watch it's like a petri dish I'm like let's see what they come up with and wherever the that might be arranged this way off from what I'm thinking or it might be a really insightful thing some of the biggest insights for what I'm doing have come from media saying let's see what they do because they're the audience uh in this case or not unless your intern is also mom or dad which could be the kids who knows but I use it as an experimental kind of tool but that sounds evil all right let's move on message in framework short term short term yes that's a good one quick way of testing hypotheses that's a medium in a short term one but everything is short on this one jesus content based validation probably more you know where you are I'm with usage doesn't it the constant validation what he's talking about he's talking about just starting to release like top ten list okay, right. So your courage, right? And if there's curator's if there's people on it you look good by the way you already have so much content in your research well, because I reviewed at all and it's actually kind of tedious for me to review it but I'm like just start putting this shit out like just put it out was but all this is his six hours like tweets boom boom boom facebook it's kind of like the air into the moses. All right, moving on that was the most abstract minute forever so give me some auditions nineteen, eighteen eighteen, eighteen, seventy I couldn't do it I'm not that gun but you got to participate eighteen eighteen eighteen thursday seventeen thank you. Head of the class for all that, eh, let's? See what comes up here? All right, anything about fifteen lots coming up here? Yeah, this is getting we're really efficient team or this or this process is not great. Do you raise your bar when you have so many that are high? Yeah, I'll show you how you actually do it. Um you might have to re filter and I go back it's called agile it's called the voice of reason, which is you go back and you go really it's like seth meyers is that I live really um and the reality too is that it actually also does represent some of the different things in the urgency of some of the things. Okay, so it's a lot of stuff there, so agile training style escape style guide you I designed these air all co morbid as my therapist would say there are related, so this is probably one item. So meaning one effort with one resource or to release schedule online tools this one's super easy to deal with this one is not messaging framework. At the end of this process, we can probably potentially doing it's a seventeen also so it's a little lower quick way of testing nineteen its high and it is short term it's cool, morbid with this one this one is the one is an outlier this is definitely one that I do believe it's important that that kind of weighs heavy um so I wouldn't say this is horrible this is not that horrible it was really disparate things like and there's tech involved but I know you guys got a lot of tech handled we didn't address is mobile because that's what we're going to do today but some of these components yeah we didn't have a dress applications mobile right we've gotta have a starscape style guide you mean they say you have to test as agile training's gonna help us get that adoration what would martin no martin what would switch this to be more like this was when I made the comment and I went on my on my on my rant about like designing the startup versus the product if we would have sticked kept to the product this would've been prioritizing other components of ah making you know like the single button the smart feed all these things would have been efficiency for the user so I just derailed this away from user to start up is that a batter a good thing? It's actually a good thing it's a good thing because it's actually more valuable to them as a start up than if I would have maintained the whole thing like smart feed versus this feature better or worse actually a quick way of testing which of those is better or worse is more valuable than which one it is because that's going to change things change a lot variability changes so going back to the rule of the designer away from and this is what I believe so I'm not saying you guys need to do it this way you can go straight into the feature set just do it about features in terms of efficiency I do believe that the role of the designer is not only as an advocate but it's a facilitator for the success of the business you know here's the worst thing I ran an agency for eleven years and I took a lot of money from a lot of people to do start especially if self funded start upset when its investors I don't care I mean they know they're going to lose their money but when it's the people's money and you know that they're not going to succeed me nine out of ten start ups fail out of the thirty forty starters I've worked on on ly three are still around at some point I'm too empathetic I can't take the weight some people can say their client they're paying you you're doing the work that's it no I mean if I don't believe and if I'm not willing to be and investor myself and the startup I don't work on it that's that's where I got to after ten years of doing started and that's, what I believe today. So your job as a designer is, are you there to design the interface or you there to ensure that the start of succeeds? If you're there just for the interface? I'm not, I won't do that, so I don't know that makes any sense to you guys that resonates. That's, that's. Getting us in our dna is what we're trying to dio. So either you're in it or you're not.

Love this class and so glad I bought it. I'll be able to refer back to his lessons again and again. His work with an actual client is what really sets this class apart, having provided specifics on how to ask a client a question, how to get them down to what matters most and on and on! Can not express how valuable this will be for me. Thank you Jose and thank you Creative Live!
Karey Covey
Great session. Covered a lot of information. Only suggestion for improvement was at the end, just giving a quick overview of the entire process again just to tie it all back together. Awesome info, well articulated, and very inspirational. Thank you!

Have already recommended to a few colleagues. I am web designer, but I see great crossover benefit in strategizing with my web design clients. p.s. I was thinking that a Smart Feed rating could become a standard used by Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix so it would gain more power as being ubiquitous and useful.


At the instigation of Sheikh Zayed, the authorities of the United Arab Emirates decided early on to acquire a deterrence-focused defence system and turned to France to provide it. Our relations, which at first were limited to hydrocarbons and security cooperation, now involve a wide spectrum of activities: cultural and academic cooperation, the installation of permanent French military bases in Abu Dhabi, and joint projects in the area of renewable energy among others. Consultations take place very regularly at the highest level, and the strategic dialogue established in 2012 helps ensure technical follow-up of the major projects of our bilateral relationship.
Regular French ministerial visits to the United Arab Emirates help maintain intense political dialogue in all areas.
15 July 2017: visit to Abu Dhabi by Mr Jean-Yves Le Drian, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
21 June 2017: visit to Paris by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
6 September 2017: visit to Abu Dhabi by the Minister of Culture, Ms Françoise Nyssen.
5 October 2017: visit to Paris by Mr Khaldoon Al Mubarak, President of the Executive Affairs Authority (EAA) of Abu Dhabi and CEO of the Mubadala Investment Company for the tenth session of the strategic dialogue between France and the United Arab Emirates.
8-9 November 2017: visit to Abu Dhabi by the President of the French Republic.
10-11 February 2018: visit to Abu Dhabi and Dubai by the French Prime Minister for the World Government Summit.
4 September 2018: visit to Abu Dhabi by the French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Mr Jean-Yves Le Drian.
25 September 2018: visit to Abu Dhabi by the Minister for the Armed Forces, Ms Florence Parly.
With €3.4 billion in French exports to the Emirates, the UAE has become France's second-largest export destination in the Gulf. The volume of bilateral trade stood at €4.5 billion in 2017, down 3.3% on the previous year. Our exports cover a wide range of sectors. The three leading export sectors (accounting for more than 70% of our sales) are non-agrifood consumer goods, equipment goods and transport equipment. Conversely, imports (estimated at €1.1 billion) are dominated by hydrocarbons.
There are more than 600 French companies working in the United Arab Emirates (+10% per year), including most major CAC 40 groups. In France, the United Arab Emirates is the second largest investor in the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf after Qatar.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi museum was inaugurated on 8 November 2017. It is the first universal museum in the Arab world and the largest cultural project promoted by France abroad. With a collection covering all civilizations and periods, from Neolithic to modern times, it is a symbol of openness to the world and tolerance. It is an exceptional bilateral project in terms of both its architecture and its scientific and cultural project, and has strategic importance for France and the United Arab Emirates. Its inauguration, on 8 November that year with President Macron in attendance, also marked the completion of a French-Emirati programme which has showcased cultural and artistic cooperation between France and the United Arab Emirates since March 2016.
The Abu Dhabi Conference of December 2016 on cultural heritage in conflict situations was another high point in our cooperation. It led to the creation of the International Alliance for the Protection of Heritage in Conflict Areas (ALIPH).
Created in 2006, the Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi is part of the "2030 Abu Dhabi Vision" strategy of the United Arab Emirates, with the goal of pointing the State towards an economy of culture and knowledge. It focuses on human and social sciences, law and economics. The new UAE University Strategic Plan provides for a diversification of training provision through the development of scientific programmes.
The UAE is home to the largest French and Francophone expatriate community in the Gulf and became an observer member of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) on 24 February 2010. At the Yerevan Summit (11-12 October 2018), its status was upgraded to associate member level. In 2018, France and the UAE confirmed the decision to re-introduce French teaching in UAE state schools starting from the 2018 intake.
Defence cooperation between France and the United Arab Emirates is extensive and diversified. It is a genuine strategic partnership, and has increased in recent years against a shifting regional backdrop in which instability factors are multiplying. France is the United Arab Emirates' second-largest partner given the nature and the number of cooperation activities. Our cooperation has a highly operational dimension thanks to the pre-positioned French forces in the United Arab Emirates (700 soldiers) and now covers a wide range of areas.
To ensure their security, since their independence, the United Arab Emirates have turned towards several Western countries, including France. The defence agreement with France (1995, enhanced in 2009) and the opening of our base in 2009 are emblematic of this strategy.

Therefore as BTA president, I must express my great concern regarding the appointment of a new Chief Operation Officer on April 22, 2015. The position could have been eliminated with the appointment of Dr. Harold Coles to the position of Superintendent if the organization were restructured so that Dr. Coles could oversee the day to day operations as well as take care of the regional and state demands. This is not a question of the quality or character of the new COO, but rather the need for the position. It raises further concern that this appointment was neither listed on the Agenda nor the Addenda to the April 22nd meeting, giving no time for an audience to assemble to express concerns.
One of the roles of any school board is to be the education watchdog for the communities, ensuring that students get the best education for the tax dollars spent. This recent appointment, in direct opposition to district request, does not align with that responsibility. I believe this union should encourage the efforts of the BOCES board to focus on creating a well-structured organization over which the superintendent, Dr. Coles, can administer on his own.

Ben-Hur: Prince of Jerusalem
ranger613
Time Added:
Available in HD?
Ben-Hur is the greatest of the 'classic' Hollywood epics, and is widely regarded as one of the best of all time. The story is of a Jewish prince (Charlton Heston in an Oscar winning role) who is wrongfully accused of attempting to assassinate the new Roman governor by a Roman provincial who was his one-time trusted friend, causing him to be exiled as a slave and his mother and sister to be locked away, but not before he swears vengeance.
The original clocked in at almost 4 hours, as it attempted to tell the tale of the rise of Christianity along with Ben-Hur's struggles. This edit removes almost all instances of the tale of Christianity, to focus on Ben-Hur, his quest for vengeance, redemption and salvation, all in the far more manageable time of 2 hours and 24 minutes.
As great as the original was, I felt that a far more streamlined version of Ben-Hur's story could be told by focusing on his trials and quest for revenge. All the extra plot points are dropped, but every key scene is retained (especially the chariot race) so that any viewer would get the full experience of this classic in less time.
Special Thanks:

3. Cut Carpenter talking about his son and Jesus travelling in the field
4. Cut Ben Hur saying "We shall never see him again" after rebuking Messala at his home

6. Cut out some of steward's interfering dialogue during Esther and Ben's first scene
7. Shortened scene of Governor's arrival and Messala inspecting rooftop
8. Cut Ben Hur being taken out of cell and led down hallway.

21. Cut scene of guards discovering Ben Hurs mother and sister, cut scene of them going to see Esther. Ben Hur's scene earlier followed by scene of Esther telling him they are dead. Edited to look as if she hesitates in telling him the lie (the fact she avoids the question when first meeting him helps this editing choice). Ben Hur's mother and sister's fate remain a mystery in this cut at this point, meaning we believe they are dead along with Ben Hur. Cut Intermission

35. Cut Ben Hur's last dialogue with Esther. I wanted it to have a dreamlike feel, no words are spoken during final scene. Added two fades in here also to give it a more ambiguous tone (did the miracle happen or was it wishful thinking)
36. Shortened shot of sunset over Golgotha
37. "Raangerkris Edits" titles added at end.

Audio/Video Quality
Visual Editing
Being only familiar with the original film through references and parodies, I have been intending to see it for a long while but also waiting for the coincidence of the right mood and a spare three-and-a-half hours. This edit was recommended to me (thanks Wraith) and I thought (once again) that it would be interesting to go into the altered version cold to see if it felt like anything was missing
It is definitely a decision I do not regret, a true testament to the skills of ranger613. A/V quality was excellent and I found nothing edited in a way to betray the project's origins (potentially cutting around the jump cut at 55:35 would be a bonus): the aim of the editor (to focus on Judah Ben-Hur's story) is definitely achieved.
Other points brought up in earlier reviews are not a bother: the usual view of deus ex machina doesn't fit here for me since Christ is set-up beforehand (if only briefly) and a literal miracle is performed; the "abrupt" enslavement didn't feel out of place as from what little Roman history I remember from GCSE Latin (a fair few years ago) such actions don't surprise me (particularly recall my class learning that the word "servus" doesn't translate to "servant" as we all first thought).
Need to finally get around to watching William Wyler's original (will be interesting to see if it feels like a "mere" extended edition or the complete picture of a greater whole), thanks ranger613 for such a great interpretation!
Do you recommend this edit?

Initially looking at the cutlist for this, my thoughts were positive, but seeing alot of it in practice, I don't think it works.
One reviewer commented saying that the film still retains an epic feel, despite having more than an hour chopped off, but I would disagree. The film felt rushed to me. Where lines could have been trimmed to achieve a similar affect, whole characters or scenes were removed. And although I would concur that some of the Christ story is milked, and the prologue is certainly overlong, completely removing it strips the film of its context.
Rangerkris removed the subtitle "A Tale of Christ" - and rightly so, because this is really the tale of Ben Hur - however, Ben Hur's story only works in the context of the life of Christ. Without it the film loses a lot of emotional weight and the healing of Judahs family at the end seems like a massive deus ex machina.
Some personal gripes (no points deducted):
- Would have been nice to have a custom title for the edit (I.e. Ben Hur - Prince of Jerusalem)
- There's a jump cut that another reviewer mentioned. It's inherent in the source, so no points can be deducted. It really bothers me, but I'm not sure if anything can be done about. I might have a go at it myself.
- "I am already part of this tragedy" is a great line, and I was sorry to see it cut.
Video quality was excellent, although the picture seemed darker to me than my blu ray copy, which I watched on the same TV the previous evening. Could be that something went ary in the editing process, or maybe just a different transfer.
Audio quality was good, though once again, having seen the blu ray the day before, it sounded more compressed to me. This is me nitpicking though, and I doubt you'd notice a difference unless directly comparing. Overall quality is very good.
Editing was excellent for the most part, which comes as no surprise. In terms of slick editing, rangerkris is probably one of the most professional that I've come across. The only noticeable transitions were some rushed fades, of which others have noted. Audio-wise there was one scene where Judah us talking to the horses. His mouth moves, but no dialogue comes out. I assume this happened during trimming.
Nothing to mark points off of, but worth noting: The cutlist is not complete and a lot more was removed than I expected. The trailer also displays several scenes and lines of dialogue that are not in the edit.
Overall, worth watching, but definitely too streamlined for my taste. It might work for some, but personally I felt the narrative was hindered. I will probably be doing my own edit of this at somepoint.

Ramming speed! That's how you've been pumping out these rad edits Ranger613! I own this flick, but swore it off years ago when Charlton Heston became an old whack job. Now that he's gone and I've watched this, I remember the power he gave this role and why I bought it so long ago. Some would say over the top, but Heston makes it work - convinced me he's just a super passionate guy. Anyhow, his acting was enhanced even more in this edit by the focus staying on him. The only reason I take the narrative down a notch is that there were a couple times where things seemed to jump just a little too much, after he saves the ship captain for one. But really, this edit was high quality and high enjoyment, nice job!

WOW...this is a TOUR DE FORCE...
I love BEN HUR...and most films of this ilk...Rager613 has taken this monster and re-tooled it for the 21st century WITHOUT sacrificing the epic grandeur or story. In fact, it made me appreaciate what a superb actor Charlton Heston is....but I'll come to that.
Removing the Christ subplot and the narration streamlined this into a digestible epic and the running time is spot on.
Visual quality is magnificent as is the audio...so onto the technical aspects.
There is a jump cut 55:46ish and that is the only poor transition in the entire movie. Whil Jack Hawkins character and Ben Hur are taking to each other the scene closes in suddenly, a transition which could have been masked by inserting a reaction shot. Also, some of the cross fades were a tad rushed for the tone oof the film and again these could have been a second or two longer even if it mean slowing the speed of clip during the transition when the fade begins...(a trick I've used many times when the source material does not permit a longer fade. For that reason I did not give a 10 here.
Similary, a couple of the audio segues could have had a slightly longer fadeout ...but that now is just a taste question since most viewers will not detect it.
Finally narrative. For the most part SPOT ON. The only areas for constructive criticism are that Ben Hurs fate becoming a galley slave is a tad abrubpt and could have used the removed exposition. Finally, the finale....a tad more Christ earlier would have made his final appearance a tad less abrubpt...and I would have cross faded to the crescendo at Ben Hur's home post the miracle to keep the musical momentum going to a closure rather than inserting the quitter scene post miracle and then the big hug...For me that hurt the narrative flow at both point and drew me out of the edit...
but don't be dissuaded by this over technical review THIS IS A SUPERB EDIT and I highly recommend it. The pace reveals the nuances of Heston's performance in a manner that the 4 hour monster detracts from. IS subtle, wide ranging and full on in its range and for that, we should Thanks RAnger613 for having the vision to touch the untouchable....
ENJOYMENT 10...and that has heavier weight than the other scores.
OUTSTANDING SIR!!!

'Water-forecasting' and fish farms fed on waste: how innovation is driving the blue economy
Author: Peter Beech, World Economic Forum writer
Using waste food to farm insects as fish food; and high-tech real-time water quality monitoring: innovations that could help change global aquaculture, were showcased at the World Economic Forum's Virtual Ocean Dialogues 2020.
Two young entrepreneurs addressed a breakout session of the event called Harnessing the Power of Innovation to Achieve SDG14. Syrine Chaalala, co-founder of the French-Tunisian company nextProtein, and Charlotte Dupont, co-founder of the French company BiOceanOr, revealed the ideas that drove their rapidly accelerating startups.
Chalaala's nextProtein uses food waste to mass-produce insect protein to feed farmed fish in place of fishmeal – the production of which, often from corporate fisheries' by-catch, can lead to the depletion of ecosystems and the collapse of local fisheries. As our demand for farmed fish is growing 8% a year, her innovation could play a vital role in reducing the knock-on impact of aquaculture on the ocean.
She said that farming insects requires a fraction of the space as animal feed production – 100 square metres of space can produce as much protein as 100 hectares of soy field.
"Because we wanted to have maximum impact, we wanted to provide solutions to other problems," said Chalaala, naming food waste and land scarcity as two key issues her business tackles. "Here, we can convert 20 kilos of food waste into 1 kilo of product."
Fly fishing.

The method uses vertical farming, little energy and almost no water – testament, said session host Christian Lim of Blue Oceans Partners, to the efficiency of the insects at thriving on low input. The insect nextProtein uses is the Black Soldier Fly, selected due to its high-yield quality, and the ease of processing it into powder, oil and fertilizer. Her business is aiming to produce 100,000 tonnes of insect protein annually by 2025 – or around 10% of the insect meal market.
Meanwhile Charlotte Dupont and her colleagues at BiOceanOr have developed what they term "the first underwater weather station for real-time monitoring of water quality". One of its many applications is for fish farmers who aren't yet monitoring their water quality in real time.
She painted a picture of an industry that is only reluctantly changing, with water quality largely still monitored by hand. Since this process is time-consuming and arduous, it's generally done only once a day. But once the firm's underwater 'weather-stations' are installed, farmers can get a moment-by-moment grasp on conditions for their stock.
"Our first customer called us a few days later to tell us our tool wasn't working – the oxygen levels couldn't be so low," she said. But the equipment was fine: the unprecedented readings had thrown him. He was used to taking his readings only once a day, in the late morning, and had no idea how low oxygen levels could get overnight.

"There are a lot of aquaculturists who don't realize right now the power of real-time monitoring," said Dupont. "It's a knowledge that they transmit from generation to generation, like agriculture a century ago: 'I know it because my father knows it'. They think there's nothing you can learn from tools, but just as in agriculture, there's a lot you can learn."
"I think data will be really central in the future," said Dupont, predicting a future where people subscribe to the water forecast just as today they subscribe to a weather forecast.
What's the World Economic Forum doing about the ocean?
Our oceans cover 70% of the world's surface and account for 80% of the planet's biodiversity. We can't have a healthy future without healthy oceans – but they're more vulnerable than ever because of climate change and pollution.
Tackling the grave threats to our oceans means working with leaders across sectors, from business to government to academia.
The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with the World Resources Institute, convenes the Friends of Ocean Action, a coalition of leaders working together to protect the seas. From a programme with the Indonesian government to cut plastic waste entering the sea to a global plan to track illegal fishing, the Friends are pushing for new solutions.
Climate change is an inextricable part of the threat to our oceans, with rising temperatures and acidification disrupting fragile ecosystems. The Forum runs a number of initiatives to support the shift to a low-carbon economy, including hosting the Alliance of CEO Climate Leaders, who have cut emissions in their companies by 9%.

"With sensitive ecosystems like reefs and coastal systems, people will be able to subscribe to the data and see what is going on," she said. These water-quality forecasts will play a vital role in protecting ocean health.
Their session provided a short but telling insight into two crucial innovations in aquaculture as we set a course for a sustainable blue economy in the post-COVID-19 era. For more from the Virtual Ocean Dialogues 2020, you can access the whole event here.

The currents setting of the TSS where slightly decreased in order to avoid a DC DC converter to go crazy. After that a cleaning is a must.
The system were restored in the working position.
