Public Banking Made Easy - Public Banking Institute - Duration: 2:10.
In this city in Anywhere, USA
the residents have decided they want a park.
The city council agrees – the park is a great idea.
But how will they pay for it?
The city needs to borrow money.
But borrowing money means the city has to pay
a lot MORE money in interest and fees
that could DOUBLE the cost of the park.
And that money leaves the city. It goes to pay Wall Street investors,
who don't really care about the park, or the city, at all.
This is a bad deal for the city and its residents.
There's a MUCH better option.
An option that's been proven around the world...
A PUBLIC Bank.
A public bank is a bank owned by the residents of a city,
state, region, or territory.
Private Wall Street banks just want to make profits for their shareholders,
but public banks have a mission to serve the public good.
They have to reflect the values and needs of the community,
and that makes all the difference.
Politicians don't run a public bank.
Their job is just to set it up by listening to what the people need and want.
Public banks are run by skilled, local bankers who know their neighbors.
Residents are on the supervising board to keep tabs on what the bank's doing.
Public Banks can save communities lots of money.
First, they cut out expensive Wall Street fees,
which can be hundreds of millions of dollars a year in a big city.
Second, they can lower interest rates on the city's loans,
which means there's more money to spend on other projects.
Third, their profits go back to the city, and not to Wall Street,
so a public bank can MAKE money for the city.
All this means the people of the city
have a LOT more money to fund all the things they need,
such as bridges,
good roads,
good schools,
renewable energy,
affordable housing,
lower taxes,
AND the park the people wanted.
They now control their own money and they can build their own future.
Join the movement!

9 Public Speaking Secrets - Part 1 - Duration: 8:22.
Hey, welcome back to the Six Figure Mastermind. Today I'm going to give you
the 9 public speaking secrets that you need before you get on stage. Stay
tuned.
Okay, the first things first. Before you start even thinking about delivering
your content, you need to know that every second counts. And the first 90 seconds
on stage are the most important. You may have heard this but people make it about
10,000 decisions about another person within the first 10 seconds of meeting
them. They're deciding whether or not they trust them, they're deciding whether
or not they're credible, they're deciding whether or not they want a person they
want to be around. Just so many decisions happening. And you've got milliseconds to
make an impact. So, the first 90 seconds on stage are the
most important. When you come out on stage, you need to walk with confidence,
you need to know what you're standing for. You need to know your message, you
need to... Most of all, know that you've got this. If you have any doubts coming out
for you, they're going to show on stage. The stage is a magnifier for who you are.
That first 90 seconds is pivotal. The first thing you need to know about
speaking on stage is that every second counts. And no seconds count more than
the first seconds you have on stage. People make 10,000 decisions about
someone when they meet them for the first time. And now, you're in front of a
room of dozens maybe even hundreds of people. Think about how many decisions
are being made about you. Let me just ask you, do you want to have control over any
of that? Yeah. Yeah, you do. You want to be seen as credible, you want to be seen as
valuable. And you want to be seen as a person of legitimacy on stage. So, when
you're walking on stage for the first time, you can't be wringing your hands,
you can't be fixing your hair, you can't be doing all of that stuff that belongs
backstage. When you're on stage, it's game on. The second secret about speaking on
stage is you need to understand, it's not about you. It's about your audience. The
most value that your audience is going to take from their experience is how
they feel about themselves after having spent time with you. You know, a lot of
people may think the Guru onstage is all about consumed with how they look and
how they feel. You need to let all of that go before you get on stage. And when
you're in that zone, you need to be zoned in on that audience member. Your secret
number 3 and you're going to laugh because it's going to contradict
directly secret number 2. Remember secret number two is it's not about you,
guess what secret number three is. It's all about you.
Here's what I mean by that. I don't want you to be confused. When I say it's all
about you, I want you to think this: It's all about the authentic core, the genuine
version of you. Now, I've worked with so many people on stage that will try to be
someone else. And I'm guilty of this. When I was first
taking stage instruction, I was so amazed by the power and the presence and
the persona of the person on stage that when it was my turn, I tried to mimic
that, okay? Helium can't be gold, oxygen can't be
nickel. These elements on the periodic table, they can't be another element. They
need to be purely their element. So, when I say it's all about you, what I mean is
this: Peel off the layers. Any layers of inauthenticity. Peel off any layers of
wanting to be someone else. Peel off any layers of wanting to act or be
unauthentic. Peel off any layers of wanting to hide or shield yourself
from the big scary audience out there. Whether you're you in your home or
whether you're you on your stage, you're always you. So, don't pretend to be anyone
or anything you're not. Just let yourself be seen and let yourself be vulnerable.
Because guess what? Even though that's the scariest thing that people think of
when they're going onstage, it's what the audience actually wants most.
The fourth secret to being onstage is to remember that you're really building a
tribe. You're really building a community. Any time you appear on stage, you're
inviting those people that are in front of you to enroll in your ideas. You're
really building this kind of different Empire, if you will. And any time you
appear on stage, every word that comes out of your mouth matters, alright? So,
you want to be very careful with your language. And I'm talking beyond using
bad language. I'm talking about carefully crafting and honing a unique language.
Now for example, if I use the words like organic or if I use the words evergreen
or if I use the words homegrown or if I use the words eco-friendly then you're
probably going to start thinking around this certain phrase of you know, maybe
maybe people that are vegans or maybe people that are a whole food plant-based
diet or maybe this community of health gurus,
right? You need to do the same thing in your community. Create your own kind of
catchphrases. And verbage that's specific to you. You know, just yesterday
I was on the phone with the client and we narrowed down her ideal clients and
we narrowed down what she did. And we figured out this beautiful phrase for
her. She's an interior designer, alright? And she does home design and she puts
together these blueprints for creating beautiful interior spaces. And she also
does mental work. She does mindset training and breakthrough work. And so, he
created this phrase for her that said, "She is the queen of remodeling
unconscious design." I mean, that's a cool catchphrase. That she's going to be able to
use from stage in her books, in her blog and social media posts. It's a phrase
that she like crafted that she's going to define. So, when anyone hears it,
they're going to think of her and they're going to know exactly what it means.
Secret number 5 when speaking on stage is something you absolutely have
to understand. Only 7% of what you're communicating to people happens
through your words. The rest shows up in your tone and it shows up in your body
language. So, I'm going to ask you to do something that you may feel like a
little bit crazy. And I'm going to ask you to do something that honestly most of
you won't do. Because you think it's weird, okay?
I'm going to ask you to actually film yourself with a phone or a camera or
whatever it is. Film yourself speaking on stage. And here's what you're looking for.
You want to have your body language match your message. And you know, you
watch out for a few key things. I call this t-rex arms, okay? People will have
these... The arms right like glued to their side when they're speaking. And they'll
have these t-rex arms. They won't get out of the box. You need to have arms that
are open. Up, down to the side of wherever you are. If you do allow your arms to
come into the box, make it intentional. Make it something that happens on
purpose, alright? So, avoid the t-rex arms
whenever possible. You also you do need to be aware of where you're standing on
stage, how you're standing on stage. I remember trading one excellent speaker.
She's amazing. But before she became a speaker in my classroom, she actually
used to march in the marching band. And whenever I would watch her walk around
the stage, it would walk over here and then she would stand at attention. And
then she'd walk over to this portion of the stage and
she would stand at attention. And it was so distracting because I felt like she
was more concerned about where she was standing than she was about conveying a
clear message to me. So, watch yourself on stage and be clued into the things that
are distracting to you. That's the biggest red flag. If you're distracted by
the way your body moves, it's probably not matching your message. Practice
doesn't make perfect, right? Like you've heard that before, right? Now, you've heard
practice makes perfect. That's not what I'm telling you. Practice does not make
perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. And I got to tell you, in my classroom,
when people come into this pressure cooker, I'm going to be stopping them every
15 seconds. And sometimes even more often than saying, "Hey look, no, no. Turn around
do that again. Or maybe try a different verbage or you need to stop touching
your face." It's perfect practice makes perfect. And you can't get perfect
practice without watching yourself. So, record yourself like I've said before.
And watch it over and over again. In fact, go to other people's presentations. Watch
them. Watch what you like and watch what sticks out like a sore thumb. And then
make perfect practice. So, thanks for watching. I want you to know that I have
so much content for you that I actually had to put it in another video. So, make
sure to StayTuned. Hit the subscribe button, hit the notifications so you're
notified when part two comes out.

STS Modules - HPSC0127 Engaging the Public with Science (MSc) - Duration: 3:53.
My name is Simon Lock and the course code is HPSC0127, the title is Engaging the Public with Science
This is a masters level module which takes this
thing called public engagement with science, or public engagement with research,
and explores it both from a theoretical and practical angle.
So the course is divided into two sections. The first half of the course is really thinking about
what do we even mean by "public engagement with science". As I said it's a
broad term which means different things to scientists as it does to policymakers
as it does to maybe charities, or citizen patient groups. So we really get into
thinking about what do we even mean by this thing. We think theoretically about
the ways in which, particularly STS scholars, have critiqued and written
about this topic over the last 20 years or so, to give everybody on the module a
kind of good critical understanding of the term, and also then being able to
really look at public engagement in any context and kind of unpick what's
going on there. The second half of the module takes a slightly more
practice-based approach, so we take the kind of learning from the first half, the
sort of critical, theoretical understandings of public engagement,
particularly again the criticisms from STS that have often highlighted some of
the inadequacies, particularly in the policy context, around the ways in which
policymakers and scientists think they should engage the public with science,
and we apply that to group work, where each group will pick a specific scenario,
a need for a public engagement activity, and produce over the course of the
second half of the term, with support from myself and also from the public
engagement team at UCL, in thinking around how do you actually put together
a piece of public engagement? So we think about how to identify audiences, what
types of practice and practical activity might you choose that is relevant to the
scenario you're trying to engage people in, and that takes us right through to
the end of the module.
The assessment is divided into two. The
first piece is an individual essay. This is a critical examination of an existing
piece of public engagement, based on the learning from the first half of the term.
The second piece of assessment is a group led piece of assessment, and this
is assessed in two ways - by a pitch, so each group will pitch at the end of the
term their proposed public engagement activity to a panel, which is normally myself
and another member of STS staff and someone from the public engagement unit,
exactly as you might, in the professional workplace, pitch a public engagement
project to a prospective funder, and the pitch is then followed by a report, which
is making links and justifying the activity that you've pitched, in relation
to the academic literature that you've explored in the beginning of the term.
The point of this course is really to try and bring together theory around
public engagement with practice, so that practice based public engagement and
the activities that come along with that are firmly drawing on academic research
and literature.
There are no prerequisites for the module. I'd encourage anyone who has an
interest in science in public life, but particularly if you're working in any
areas that are to do with health, environment, planning or science policy
more broadly, these are all areas where there is a need, and often a legal
requirement, to engage publics, local people, patient groups with the
science and research, or the policy that's happening, and hopefully this
course will give people an insight into how to think about that more
critically, and also give them some practical skills to take that forward
once they finish their degree.

Money laundering crackdown on public schools and law firms World news - Duration: 4:46.
Money laundering crackdown on public schools and law firms World news
Exclusive: security minister Ben Wallace pledges to focus on where illegal cash is spent
Exclusive: security minister Ben Wallace pledges to focus on where illegal cash is spent
Estate agents, high street solicitors and accountants who facilitate about £100bn of money-laundering in the UK but are failing to report suspicious activity face a crackdown under a government drive against economic crime.
Security minister Ben Wallace has warned public schools, football clubs and luxury car garages they must report irregularities, pledging to "go after the status" of the worst culprits by focusing on where they spend their illegal cash.
In an interview with the Guardian, he set out plans for the new multi-agency national economic crime centre launching on Thursday, which will prioritise the most serious offenders, boosted by a £48m cash injection and a more intelligence-led approach.
Wallace told the Guardian: "The ones who pretend their hands aren't really dirty and profit from moving dirty money and knowingly conspire ... they're cowards to pretend they're nothing really to do with it. They are the ultimate. It's like the McMafia programme, they comfort themselves by being at wonderful events and not getting their hands dirty, but their hands are as dirty as the person trafficking the child that they're making their money from.
"We're going to make sure that people who are proactively being facilitators are at the front of our queue as much as the actual nominals of the organised crime groups and we're going to do everything we can to prosecute them."
The government is also expected to toughen up its approach to Scottish limited partnerships, a business loophole that it believes has been used by foreign criminals to launder dirty money in the UK.
But the principal focus of the serious and organised crime strategy, published on Thursday, is the crackdown on illicit finance and the professionals who facilitate it. If they fail to report suspicious activity they face sanctions including, ultimately, jail.
Wallace said he wanted to prevent serious offenders from using their illegal cash to boost their reputations. "Part of that is going after the status. If all you can go shopping with is a Tesco Clubcard, you're not really much of a gangster are you?" he said.
"If you're denied your ability to spend your ill-gotten gains, if you can't go and buy a flash car or a box at a sporting event or a nice house in Belgravia, if you can't do any of that then you strip away the ability for them to launder their reputation."
He added: "We need to go after the people who have not played their part in hardening the environment and reporting. So the purveyors of luxury goods, the public schools, the sporting institutions, who don't ask many questions if suspicious people come along with cash or other activities, we will come down on them."
High-value car dealers are regulated and so are required to file suspicious activity reports if they suspect money-laundering. Schools, although not obliged to report, are still subject to money-laundering laws.
The regulatory bodies for property, accountancy and the law have already been hauled in by Wallace and Treasury minister John Glen, who warned them that unless they did more to root out illicit activity, their members would face closer scrutiny.
The beefed-up response will include new specially trained police to improve and coordinate fraud investigations, more officers at the National Crime Agency to identify and seize criminals' money, and extra investment in data and intelligence assessments.
The government had been accused of not doing enough to tackle money laundering in the wake of the Panama Papers revelations, unveiled by organisations including the Guardian in 2016. Wallace admitted that the system had not been responsive enough, but added that since then UK authorities had begun 68 criminal investigations, as well as seized £1.6bn in assets since 2010 and frozen hundreds of millions more.
He added: "Too many people have felt that security and prosperity are mutually exclusive and it's just not … Post-Brexit if we're going to make Britain and the City of London successful then it has to have a reputation for cleanliness and security."
Wallace said that the banks, which are responsible for 83% of suspicious activity reports, had more to do but were willing to play their part in the crackdown. It was the estate agents, accountants and lawyers that must make additional efforts.
"My point about small and regional firms is that you can make big ripples in parts of the country by taking action if you find out people have not been [reporting]," he said.
He warned that the public also had a responsibility to face up to the role they played in supporting organised crime, singling out bootleg cigarettes, nail bars and car washes in particular. "Actually what they don't realise is that the 'wink, wink, nudge, nudge' is a guy who might push 10 packs of fags in that bar but he is [also] pushing a container and actually next week he doesn't bring in a container of drugs he trafficks some children," he said.
"It goes to the heart of how passive do you want to be? Those middle class people taking themselves into the nail bar in the local high street who don't think they're really fuelling organised crime, well they are. The point of this is that we all have a role to play."
The national economic crime centre will target domestic organised crime, such as county lines gangs that use vulnerable young people as drugs mules, as well as major international gangs.

STS Modules - HPSC0036 Engaging the Public with Science - Duration: 4:25.
My name is Dr. Carina Fearnley, and the course is Engaging the Public with
Science, which is module code HPSC0036.
The module is all about looking at how science engages with the public,
and how the public engages with science, and so it really looks at science communication, in a way,
through from the Greeks to the Geeks, which is the first lecture, and then we look
at different aspects of public engagement.
So as part of looking at public engagement, what we do in this module is
we approach it from lots of different angles. So we look at: How does policy get
developed? How does the government interact with scientists? How does the
government interact with the public? How do scientists engage with the public, and
how do they engage with policymakers to develop good and robust policies? We
look at a number of different crisis and events such as mad cow disease, the BSE
crisis, and also events like Chernobyl, and look at how those have shaped that
process. So we're also interested in the role of the public as well. The public
are increasingly collecting data, something known as citizen science, or
contributing to scientific discoveries and data collection, and also the role
that the public or the individual can have in terms of creating a movement, and
generating new policies. This is particularly pertinent which we saw in
the AIDS and HIV movement, and also we've seen with broader institutions such as
Greenpeace. So we also look at the institutional government activist roles
as well, and the role of the activists in terms of changing policies. It's really
looking at the multiple facets of Public Engagement, and trying to understand that
within various theoretical concepts and processes that have been defined by
academics, and what we're trying to do is match the practice and the theory in
this module.
So there's two types of assessment in this module, each is 50%. The first is
really to review this aspect of public engagement, and it's really looking at
this movement from PUS to PEST, which sounds [like] really awful acronyms, but what it
means is the Public Understanding of Science, through to what is now known as
the Public Engagement of Science and Technology studies. So you can pick a
topic of your interest, whichever field you like, it could be space, it could be
technology, it could be medicine, and you write an essay looking at how something
within that discipline has gone from this PUS to PEST movement, so how has
engagement changed over, say, the last 40-50 years. So it's kind of more of a
scholarly aspect that's taking in the key concepts and theoretical frameworks
that we look at in the module. The second assessment, which is in the second half
of the module, is based around a case study and this is really putting the
theory into practice. So in previous years we've been to the science museum
and looked at the cosmonauts exhibition, and for the last few years we've been
looking at the Wellcome Trust and collection, and what we do is we go and
visit that site, we look at a number of different exhibitions, have some talks by
the wonderful team there, and what you have to do as part of your
assessment is put a presentation and a report together. In those assessments
what you're really trying to do is you're trying to outline what it is that
you think the public engagement should be, based on the theory that we've done,
and then actually going and seeing what's being done, and then reviewing
that - so we're kind of wanting you to be a bit of a consultant here, and be
critical and say "Okay, Wellcome Trust, if that's the case study, this is what we
think is perhaps somewhere that you can improve". Is this actually fitting the
requirements of public engagement? It's really sort of applying the theory to
practice and being critical about that and saying this is how it could be done
better.
There are no prerequisites for this course at all, this module is open to
students who are studying all degrees across UCL, so it's open to anyone on any
degree and really it's about just having enthusiasm in terms of thinking about
how your science can engage with the public and vice versa. This module's been
of particular interest to geologists and medics alike, particularly medics because
of the increasing role that the public are having in determining policy around
medical practices and procedures.

Chesapeake Public Schools: Why CPS? - Duration: 1:54.
Everybody here is friendly and the teachers here really
make sure that you get all your
academic needs fulfilled.
I like about school is math and science
'cause you learn so many things.
Uh...they provided a variety of classes.
Like, I've seen other school districts,
that don't have as many like... AP classes
available for the students to take.
If we do a good job and finish before everybody else,
we... get to... go play with some puzzles.
So teachers care about each student like... a lot.
They don't care just about academics.
They care about if you're okay.
My teacher, her name is Mrs. Lewinski.
Well, she's done teaching so...
that's why she bringed us um... dinner.
I've been heavily influenced by my teachers,
the staff members and I've loved every single one of
my years with ah... Chesapeake Public Schools.
She like... teaches us facts and
like when we are done with our work,
she lets us read.
Learning a lot and um...
like learning how to do different things.
You definitely have a family which
you meet here on every team that we have.
My favorite thing about school it's that
I get learn multiplication.
My experiences throughout the years...wonderful.
I couldn't ask for nothing better.
I've grown up in Chesapeake, ah... gone through all
12 years of school here
and I've always had positive experiences.
Honestly, it's really great school system.
The education is great. The teachers are amazing.
They make Chesapeake Public Schools so great
in my opinion... and all around, I love it here.

STS Modules - HPSC0008 Science Communication and Public Engagement - Duration: 2:23.
My name is Simon Lock, I'm teaching HPSC0008,
Science Communication and Public Engagement.
The course is an introductory first year
module which looks at this thing we call science communication, and this thing we
call public engagement. They're broad terms and concepts that we think about
from a historical perspective as well as a theoretical perspective.
So we cover the history of the ways in which scientists have thought about
communicating science, popularizing science to the public, and we really
start from the birth of modern science, right through to contemporary modern
science today. The first half of the course thinks about that history, thinks
about what we even mean by the term "public", communication, popularization, and
thinks about how we might model some of that behavior and activity that has
happened through that long historical period. The second half of the course
takes a slightly more thematic approach, so we look in more detail at specific
areas of where science appears in public life. So, we look at museums, we look at
news, we look at citizen science, we look at the Internet and online new media, we
look at science film and fiction.
The assessment on the module is 50% exam in the summer, an unseen written exam, and
then 50% is a critical analysis of two pieces of science communication, or
public engagement, on the same topic. So, it could be picking a science blog and a
TV documentary, a museum exhibition and a newspaper article... The idea on this
module as a whole is to be able to critically examine where science appears
in public life in different contexts, and think about the sorts of messages about
science that are embedded in that communication, what the agenda behind
that type of communication might be, who is it for, how might it be received.
There are no prerequisites for the course, it's an introductory first-year module,
so the most important thing is just to come along
with an interest in science and enjoy the module.

GCHQ joins Instagram to give public 'glimpse behind the scenes' of top-secret spy agency - Duration: 3:42.

Its first post, uploaded at 1pm on Wednesday, showed a picture of the headquarters with a sign reading "no photograph" and the caption: "Well this is going to be interesting
Follow us for a glimpse into our secret world." The account on the picture-sharing platform will provide a glimpse behind the doors of the top-secret organisation and an insight into the life of an intelligence officer
A GHCQ spokeswoman said: "People generally know we're working 24/7 to help keep the country safe, but they don't get the chance to see behind the scenes
"Hopefully this will help dispel some myths and show who we are as individuals." A post welcoming people into the 'top secret world': The Instagram account is the latest step in a drive towards greater openness It is the latest step in a drive towards greater openness after the agency came under intense scrutiny following Edward Snowden's revelations about intelligence techniques in 2013

A Simple Change: Give Access To Parkrun On Public Land - Duration: 1:58.
We set up Friends of Aberdare Park
two or three years ago and we're interested in all aspects of the park.
I discussed it with the sport RCT officers,
they came and had a look, it was perfect.
I contacted Ceri from Parkrun,
she came to look, fab.
So, that is how it started.
We spoke to 'Friends of the Park' and linked to the Dragons Running Club,
we had the volunteers and the enthusiasm to do it.
We contacted the local authority for permission to use the park, as it's a public park,
And had open access so yes they were supportive.
Next then was the funding, because we needed money to set it up.
We were fortunate that Run Wales gave us £3000,
Park Run gave us £3000,
then we approached the local authority.
One of the stipulations of parkrun is to have access to a defibrillator
and they paid for that. So, we were ready to roll.
We have a lot of councillors who come and volunteer on a Saturday morning.
We've had the leader of the local authority,
when we first set up, he was around.
Obviously, myself and Cllr Sharon Rees
the other local member,
she is here this morning volunteering.
Everyone is very supportive, whatever we ask.
The rangers check the circuit in the morning
to make sure there is no glass or trees blown down or anything like that.
Everybody is on board because everybody wants to see parkrun
making a difference to people's lives.
Times are hard, parkrun is free to enter, they just need their barcode.
It brings them out and about
It's pulling communities together
and I think in times of austerity that's so important.
In times of fitness, bad health and everything...
Parkrun is a win win for local authorities.
