We know we need to do something to improve

our education system, this is now getting

away from other countries and back to the

United States, because we have a very

important issue where we have large

segments of our economy, people who are

not receiving the kind of education they

need to succeed, where our economy is now,

let alone where it's headed to.

Rooney: Should the government intervene in that?

DeLong: The government is intervening.

The government is in some ways the problem.

Murphy: I think that's right.

And I think if you say, what's the

solution here?

I think the solution is we have to get

more competition and more ways to get

people what they need, because the

people want it.

If you talk to parents, there aren't

parents out there, by and large, who don't

care about the education of their children.

They just are in a system where they don't

have the best opportunities.

Baldi's Basics: The REAL TRUTH | Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning - Duration: 10:08.

I'm going to ask you an important question.

A question so important that if you don't answer it will leave you staring into the

abyss unable to shake the the feeling that your life is meaningless.

Are you ready?

What do Baldi and this guy with a bag over his head have in common?

There you go that's the question!

And I'm gonna answer it by the end of this video.

Because sometimes a game takes over the internet in a way it was never supposed to.

Often times I look at what's popular and I wonder what sick and twisted god would create

a universe where a self-consciously terrible game would skyrocket from absolutely nothing

to genuine trend.

Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning is one of those games...and I say all of this

as someone who appreciates this title

Alright…appreciates is a strong word.

I mean...a game isn't worth playing unless it makes you rage right?

Right?

But really there's a reason this janky parody of 1990s edutainment games is now one of the

most trending things on YouTube.

The look and feel of Baldi's Basics is objectively terrible but somehow mystman12 (it's creator)

was able to turn that terribleness into HORROR.

Like...SCARY horror.

If playtime (that creepy little girl) doesn't freak you out then you should see a psychologist

because clearly your emotions aren't working correctly.

I mean, me and her are best friends ...something you'd know if you watched our twitch streams.

Every weekday at 3pm PST.

Anyway Grant already made a Story You Never Knew on this bad boy and in it he covered

a lot of interesting things including the psychology of characters like Gotta Sweep

and Playtime and also somehow managed to shoe-horn in a heartfelt message about our education

system.

The video was a little all over the place but I'll be damned if it wasn't interesting

and full of butt jokes!

You should check it out if you haven't already but NOT YET BECAUSE I'M NOT DONE TALKING.

OK?

Okay.

You're probably wondering what more can possibly be said about this game...at least

until the update comes out.

Yeah there's an update coming out with a new character, new items, and more balanced

game mechanics.

That's for another video though.

Remember, the name of this show is the REAL Truth.

And (at least as far as this episode is concerned) that means we're gonna be talking about

something REAL.

No not our education system GRANT ALREADY DID THAT.

We're gonna go into Baldi's Basics itself...how it was created.

WHY it was created, and ultimately what it means for you.

Don't you wanna know how to make the next trending video game so you can retire before

age 30 and spend your life in pursuit of worldly pleasures instead of having to work or something

dumb like that?

Of course you do!

So bite down on something sturdy, find a protruding vein and get ready for a hardcore injection

of THE TRUTH.

THE REAL TRUTH.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

Alright enough goofing around we're wasting time.

We gotta get to the point already!

So let's do it.

There's a lot we can learn from Baldi and we're about to get into it.

Get into it real good.

So good.

Man I can't wait!

...To get into it.

Alright I'm just messing with you people who always comment that it takes us three

minutes to start talking about the point of the video.

Because who cares about giving things context right?

Anyway I'm done for real this time LET'S DO IT.

Baldis Basics was created by mystman12 for the Meta Game Jam.

What's the Meta Game Jam?

It's an event that took place this year from March 17th to the 31st where small teams

of up to four people were challenged to make a "meta" video game in this short, two

week period.

So yes, Baldi's Basics was made in two weeks and yes that does explain a lot.

A whole lot.

And yet...this concept that forced mystman to squeeze out a game in basically no time

at all is the whole point of this video!

Really it is!

But just so we have some context, let's talk more about this Game Jam.

The goal of this cool little competition was to make a game about games.

To make a game which commented on, deconstructed, parodied, or satirized game design, game mechanics

or game culture.

For instance, as we know Baldi's Basics is a parody of crappy 90s edutainment titles...specifically

Sonic's Schoolhouse if you people in the comments are to be trusted.

The resemblance is uncanny so I believe you guys don't worry.

Also it says on Baldi's Basics download page.

Probably should have led with that.

Whatever.

In addition to those guidelines there were some loose rules about how the voting process

worked and that shorter "experiences" were preferred.

Besides that, you had two weeks to make a game about games so BAM GET TO IT SON.

And get to it mystman did.

Oh did he.

And so we get to the lesson behind this video.

This game was made in two weeks.

It has some kinks, some hiccups, some annoying balancing issues and overall it looks like

poop.

And yet...this game is done!

It's a finished product that's playable, entertaining, and even exploits its own jankiness

for an experience that is truly horrifying.

It's kind of ingenious actually.

You could say that having a two week deadline was the best thing to ever happen to mystman.

Having to rush the development process left no time for complicated character models,

a complicated story, and it certainly left no time for overthinking.

This dude went all "plain and simple" on our booties.

I mean, GEEZ, LOOK AT THE BROOM FOR GOODNESS SAKES!

LOOK AT THE WHITE ARTIFACTS AROUND IT!

It pisses me off just looking at it...it's killing me!

HAS THIS GUY NEVER HEARD OF THE MAGIC WAND IN PHOTOSHOP.

GIVE ME 30 SECONDS WITH THAT IMAGE AND I'LL MAKE IT SHIPSHAPE.

To go from nothing to finished product in half a month means you've gotta have your

priorities straight, and have his priorities straight mystman did…

A mistake that most novice game developers make is that they try too hard to make everything

perfect.

Their passion bleeds from every pore and so why not put as many hours and as much energy

into every aspect of your game as possible?

Why not make everything perfect?

That'll make you fulfilled and increase your chances of success right?

WRONG.

IT'LL SLOW YOU DOWN AND MAKE WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE WORKING ON SUCK.

Indeed if you've watched as much Extra Credits as I have, you'll know the best strategy

for developing any video game is to first make something playable and then you can fill

in the details from there.

Whether mystman knew this or not I have no idea, but what I do know is that having such

a tight deadline means he HAD to have a playable game done before anything TOO complicated

was done.

So if there's any real life lessons to learn from Baldi its that overthinking will keep

you from doing something that might take the world by storm.

Finish what you started and you can always fill in the details from there.

Don't get hung up on the details...have a plan, make sure each individual piece works,

then tie them all together into the thing you want to make.

It really is that simple.

How do you think we make videos on this channel with such tight turnarounds?

We have an idea what what we want to do, we write the rough draft of the script...THEN

we touch it up a bit.

Maybe add some stupid butt jokes.

From there we record the voice over or live action, I flail around a little bit in front

of a camera, and we put editing over it.

If anything needs to be changed or improved, we'll do a re-record or change up some editing.

We never stress on making each piece perfect, we push forward to make something that "works"

and then fill in the details from there.

This is an oversimplification, and as you get better at whatever is you do, you can

take the time to make each piece "perfect" because you'll know what you have time for

and what you don't...you'll know how long this takes and how long that takes and you'll

know how it'll all fit together...but if you're a noob...whether you're a nooby

game dev, YouTuber, Twitch streamer, author or whatever...don't be afraid to "finish"

what you started before you make it perfect.

Complaining that you're not satisfied with what you've created is just another excuse

not to finish what you started.

Just look at Baldi's Basics!

It sucks!

But it's also done and now mystman is free to update it at his leisure.

Sure it's poopiness is part of the appeal, but even if it wasn't...these poopy character

models could be modified and slapped back into the game, textures could be improved,

game mechanics could be tweaked...whatever!

No matter what it is your working on, having a rough draft...a proof of concept that's

done takes the weight off your shoulders and makes you less likely to procrastinate.

It really does.

Magical things happen when you just shut up and do it.

Don't get lost in your own head, don't worry about what others will think, just follow

the immortal words of Shia Lebouf that I will now quote.

DO IT.

JUST.

DO IT.

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

And that's the truth.

The REAL TRUTH!

So that's what I think of Baldi.

He's a man who knows the secret to success.

Gary Vaynerchuk watch out!

Anyway If you made it this far I'm sure you liked the video.

If you didn't like it then you're some kind of masochist or something and that's

fine but this next sentence is for those who like what we put out on this channel.

Jill Lindsey - The School of Education and Leadership - Duration: 2:51.

I grew up at a dance studio my mother taught tap ballet jazz and baton and I

spent a couple afternoons each week and on Saturdays with my mother at the dance

studio and watching her teach watching other people teach and then gradually

helping out and teaching others it just sort of became one of those vicarious

learning experiences that I gravitated to most of all I'm an educator I help

people discover their mission their calling and help them bring that to

fruition my particular background is in leadership and psychology and education

and one of the great things about the program is that it's not just education

programs many people don't realize how much we do because not only do we do

teacher preparation programs for k-12 schools or pk-12 schools as we say now

preschool as well as through high school but we also have leadership programs

both for school leadership k-12 leadership principal superintendent but

we also have an organizational leadership program which prepares people

for government nonprofit sector public service kinds of positions and

organizations I think that you have to know when you enter into an education

program that you are going to have to commit to changing your life a little

bit for the period of time that you're engaged in that program we lead very

full lives but investing in your own education requires a time commitment and

a priority commitment to the learning that you are going to be engaged in the

work is rigorous the work is enjoyable it is engaging it will ignite your

passions but you have to make time in your life to accomplish the work that is

required and that what shenandoah offers is a personalized education it allows

you to really fulfill your own aspirations and ambitions within the

larger context of the programs that we offer we have good small class size so

you get the attention of instructors and we have excellent faculty who are

passionate about the work they do and will inspire you to learn and I think

that's a kind of quality that Shenandoah offers that when you look around we have

become known for that quality and when you're investing money in your education

and in your future a quality component is very important and Shenandoah

delivers that a hundred percent

To simplify it in one word, it's educated - Duration: 2:44.

Hey, this is Eric Knight

with the Orenda. We are here at the Western

Pool and Spa Show,

and we've got some longtime customers who have been

with Orenda a lot longer than I've been

with Orenda.

This is this is Troy

and Gerald from Vacation Pools.

They're out in the High Desert,

Palm Springs area of California,

and they've been using Orenda for a long time,

so thank you for coming by.

Absolutely.

Thanks for having us today.

You dig the holes,

you run the plumbing,

you build. You also surface the pools,

then you service the pools after

you've plastered them too.

Right?

And more importantly, we are

at the service of our customers. So we want to team up

with somebody that's going to make us a better

builder.

You know it's interesting when I talk to builders,

a lot of them would say, hey,

look if I build you a headache,

it's my headache because you're going to service

that pool afterward.

So you want to make sure you go through

and it's sometimes worth spending a little

bit of extra time

and money upfront, you know,

testing to fill water.

What would you say is the biggest difference

between your patterns of

behavior now

with what you've learned from Orenda versus what

what were you doing before?

It's exactly what you just said.

Now we're more conscious of what we're

doing along the

way. Not waiting until the work is done

and the pool is plastered

or filling it.

We want to know this stuff ahead of time.

.

Just to simplify it.

It's one word,

educated.

Everyday we become more

and more educated as far as water chemistry

and balancing.

Anybody who doesn't know,

Harold's about the only guy I know they can take

literally swamp water

in an area where people are trying to live,

trying to sustain life,

grow something,

he can take that water turn

it into

purified drinking water

and sustain life.

So if he can do that

with people living in an area that

most people wouldn't.

So why wouldn't we

want to team up

with somebody that's got more

experience at that

than we do.

So how's the water quality in the desert?

It's awful.

All right well that says it all.

I love hearing stories.

It

is brackish, a lot of minerals in it and with the products that you guys

offer,

not only are they great for that

water chemistry, they are also good

for the environment which we appreciate.

We want to leave a better footprint tomorrow

with what we're doing today.

So kudos to

Orenda, love them, great partner

and really all of you guys.

Thank you so much for your time guys enjoy the show.

Thank you.

Stemming the Opiate Epidemic through Education and Outreach - Duration: 6:06.

Hi everyone, thank you all so much for having us here today. My name is Madeline

and this is Katie, and we are two senior members of the opiate outreach Bass

Connections team. We're so excited to be here and share with you some of our

accomplishments that we've been able to see over the past couple of years. Before

we do that I first want to start by explaining a little bit about what the

opiate epidemic looks like here in North Carolina. As you can see on this graph

from 1999 the use of opiates has increased steadily in the state and in

more recent years there's been a spike in heroin and synthetic opioid use.

So Katie and I and the rest of our team members came to this project with

various personal connections to the opioid epidemic but we all needed to do

a better job of situating ourselves in the context of the state of North

Carolina specifically, so we spent our first summer together and the beginning

of our project really learning about what is being done in the state of North

Carolina to address this issue, and we met with a wide variety of stakeholders

including treatment providers, law enforcement

officers and other policymakers to see what's being done already to address

this issue. We wanted to ask ourselves how could our team do the most good and

where do we fit in in this wide network of stakeholders, so our team came up with

dozens of ideas initially but we only moved through when we only took action

on a few of these ideas that we knew could have the most impact. Today our

presentation will take you through four of the impacts that our team has had

over the past two years on Duke, Durham, and North Carolina. So we knew that the

opioid epidemic had been growing since 1999 but we wanted to look more

specifically at the trends towards heroin in recent years. We partnered with

statistician Brice Bartlett to analyze publicly available data on heroin

mortality in my County. In our state we learned that counties in North Carolina

can be divided into five categories. There's counties that showed an early

and rapid rise in heroin deaths while other counties appeared virtually

untouched by the epidemic entirely, with most counties

somewhere in between. Furthermore we observed that heroin mortality is

currently shifting from rural counties to urban counties.This research, which

will be published in the North Carolina Medical Journal this May, can be used to

inform future research and policy interventions. So as everyone in this

room knows, research can be a long process, so our team wanted to develop

some more short-term ideas that we could have an so that we could have an

immediate impact. We partnered with the North Carolina harm Reduction Coalition,

a grassroots organization dedicated to advocating for and protecting people who

are affected by drug addiction. We packaged naloxone rescue kits with them,

which contained the drug naloxone, a life-saving drug that is used to reverse

an opioid overdose. The Harm Reduction Coalition is also very active in

policymaking, and during our first kit-making day we help them lobby the North Carolina

state legislature and were successful in legalizing syringe

exchange here in our state. Another important aspect of advocacy is reducing

stigma, and the best way to reduce stigma is through education. We partnered with

Alliance Behavioral Healthcare here in Durham to provide free mental health

first aid training to undergraduates, medical students and nursing students

here on our campus. Through this intensive eight hour training we now

have over a hundred members of our campus community who are certified to

respond to a mental health emergency. One of our most important community partners

has been the Durham Crisis Intervention team, a group of first responders and law

enforcement officials specifically trained to recognize and interact with

individuals who are experiencing a mental health crisis. We wanted to share

this amazing work with the Duke community so we organized

a panel discussion, seen here in this slide, and a Psychiatry Grand Rounds

presentation to inform the rest of the community about this team. We also wanted

to help the CIT team interpret and analyze their data in order to have the

increase in optimized their practices so this turned into a

Data_+ summer research program hosted by the Social Science Research

Institute here at Duke. Another important community partner has

been the Duke University Hospital Emergency Department. In 2016 over 1600

patients were seen in the emergency department who met the criteria for a

high risk of opioid overdose. Only 14 of these patients left the emergency

department with a prescription for naloxone, which is less than 1% of

patients. Every patient who is at high risk of an opioid overdose should have

access to this life-saving drug, and our team wanted to intervene to tighten

this gap and address this disparity, so we got together and created

patient and provider patient and provider education materials to increase

prescribing practices of naloxone as well as a new Duke electronic health

records process to meet this goal, and we're so excited to say that Dr. Mary

Funk who is a resident in the Duke emergency department is going to be

taking over this project next year and making sure that it actually gets

implemented, and we could not have been able to accomplish any of these

wonderful success stories without the support of past connections our team

leaders from both years of our team and our amazing community partners who are

listed here. Thank you so much.
