My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic The Crystalling - Part 2 Best Cartoon For Kids - Kyle Bruce - Duration: 15:12.
The heart's magical protection the entire city's about and the storm clouds are already forming I
Can totally look including the crystal Empire and us along with it
There's gotta be something
miss mains material a MIDI clips before flash prances fellow ship
But I get the feeling the princess isn't looking for a spell
Yeah, we should just get out of your Mane. It's pretty obvious
This isn't going how Twilight hoped, and I'm sure you have plenty of important work to do
There must be a spell that can restore the crystal heart perhaps, but we will do what we can, but you must hurry
We don't want to start a panic yes, ma'am come on girls
Where'd she go I wouldn't be surprised if Twilight decides to give up on me entirely
It's not your fault. I'm the one who said all we needed was a list
Well Twilight obviously think she would be friends with and I do too
At least I have two friends even if one of them has dragon breath
The best idea to stay outside I can't and when that fool is helping for the crystal heart
I plan to be as close to the action as possible
Honestly, I don't know there's gonna be a crystal in the truth is
Sure the crystal isn't happening
Anything up there care of the baby
Short version even short Trotta stolen from a query
Hello brother reconstitution, I can't believe we found it
It's a good thing that spell was the only thing we found in the whole library that was even close to what we needed
I'm so sorry Twilight
It's not your fault starlight
I'll help if I can
But we should evacuate the city just in case you need to lead everypony to is there anything I can do
I don't think so. I'm just sorry about your lesson
Oh that doesn't matter now, sunburst and I don't have anything in common anyway. He said
Really and your magic is a little bizarre can well I guess you just burned the heart
But Twilight thinks she can fix it and Princess cadance thought you could help
Me
Did I mention this was a royal crystalling when the crystal holds the young one aloft
Freezing out here. Uh this is the crystal Empire. We've seen snow before
not like this
We don't have time to argue
That's what we've been trying to tell you
Sunburst I know you're busy, but did you fixing an ancient relic?
I can't even come close to doing something like that, but I thought you were an important wizard
Okay, I know it's hard for you to understand, but not all of us end up achieving greatness
What why wouldn't I understand that really?
First I don't care if you're a wizard or not. I'm just surprised you always knew so much about magic
I mean look at all these books
Did you really travel through time?
See I told you he'd be impressed
I'm sorry. We lost touch. Maybe if I had reached out you could have helped me at Magic School. I'm sorry
I should have told you the truth
It's fine at least we worked it all out. I think Twilight would be proud of us well of course
I know how to stop this I
Think that's everything
The spell failed I don't know what else to do an old student of mine believes
He'd you need to combine it with something else something unique to the relic itself the crystalline
Combining that spell with the light and love of everypony gathered for the series
You must be sunburst starlight said you were a powerful wizard oh?
I'm no wizard
Be honored well, what are we waiting for?
You may be more of a wizard than you think
Yeah peaceful now anyway, they suppose that spell really do the trick
Eden Starling, are we gonna name the four little deer are we gonna spend the entire visit just calling her the baby
We were thinking
Flurry harder too. Whether you like it or not. I don't know if I'll have time for any Wizarding
I'm a crystal or now that's a big responsibility. I can't think of any pony more qualified
What are you talking about you listen when perfectly starlight and sunburst got over their past and rekindled their friendship. No. Thanks to me
I know a lot happened. I just wish I could you know I never thought about it, but I guess it is
You
How is she doctor
She's going to be fine luckily. She has friends like you who got her over here in a jiffy
How did give her amazing healing powers? She needs to stay in bed for a few days a few days
Tomorrow's will be a few months, or a few years. It's not so bad rainbow dip
What our eggy heads like you Twilight no offense, but I am NOT reading, it's undeniably unquestionably
Uncool
Really unstoppable
To get to the other side get it
Eze
derring-do trek through the tropical jungle the wet heat sapped her energy and
Slowed her be a few months, or a few years
I'm right there with you sister
The mosquitoes buzz loudly the macaws cried from the high
On the other side during fun and would really hate to admit it to my friends, but I love this story I
Love reading being dangerous hit daring dude as she peered into the dimly lit entrance of the agent
Would you like to win
You go first rainbow -
No no you first uh
Cloud - you sell my weather pony huh you strung my bumblebee. Oh my Thunderbolt
Oh, that's my life cloud
You found it kiss you guys windy
But yesterday you were desperate for things to do you said I think about daring do I told you I'm not interested in reading
Derring-do stood at the entrance to the central temple chamber at last she was face to face with the legendary Sapphire statue
Oh
There must be a pattern here, what do all these animals
How's that patient doing today
We need to get some fresh air Oh hungry, oh well don't mind us being Bo - yeah, just go ahead
Sadly mistaken miss dude
Have you been up all night of course not
Well I'll be quick congratulations rainbow - were checking you out of remember to stay off that wing
I'm gonna get away with the statuette Oh
Rainbow - what are you doing here anything wrong? Well, I think I know what the trouble is a severe case of
lazy itis
Not be such a bad thing
I'm an egghead
Harden
See I was trying to get back into the hospital to finish the last chapter of derring-do and the quest for the Sapphire statue
But then I had to put it down. I was said hope before I could finish it. Well. I'm glad that's all this is about
There's no reason to go around causing a ruckus fracas big deal about all this
I thought reading was just for smartphone ease like you Rainbow Dash. Just because you're athletic doesn't mean you aren't smart
Yeah, just look at blessing and it would make a great letter to the princess
Did you get all that?
Yeah, great you write the letter how I gotta finish this book
Another day another Dutch
I'll take that
Better luck next
Defeated and the Sapphire statue secured
The world was safe and sound once again
Thanks to daring to daring do and the Griffins goblet

Samina: Today's Rewind with Samina guest is Momina Mustehsan
Samina: you all know what a big singing star she is
Samina: I won't say anything about her
Samina: I'll only be asking questions
Samina: and will find answers to all those questions
Samina: Momina Thank you so much for coming
Momina: Thank you so much for inviting me
Momina: It's my honor!
Samina: mine too!
Samina: you've sung a song that I love
Samina: 'Tera Who Pyar' Momina: aww
Momina: I'm so glad you said that Samina: I like it a lot
Samina: a lot!
Momina: I almost thought you would say ' Afreen'
Samina: nope Momina: but 'Tera Who Pyar' is so much closer to me
Momina: because that was a time when I actually sang
Momina: from my heart
Momina: and I think you can tell that as well Samina: Afreen was then…
Momina: "Afreen" was "Afreen"
Samina: it was the winner, right? Samina: where were you born? Momina: I was born in Quetta
Momina: It's really random!
Momina: my family has nothing to do with Quetta
Momina: My brother was born in Germany Samina: Both?
Momina: the elder brother. My younger brother was born in Multan
Momina: so, my father was in the army
Samina: so he would have travelled then Momina: yes!
Samina: they have postings Momina: yes. So, when I tell somebody
Momina: I was born in Quetta Samina: and where are you guys from?
Momina: that's a good question
Momina: umm…I don't know
Momina: my father's side of the family is from Delhi
Momina: and then umm… they migrated to Pakistan. They were in Pindi
Samina: so then you are from Pindi right? Momina: not really because
Momina: Mustehsan Farms are close to Multan so they all moved to Multan
Momina: as well as at some point
Momina: but then my father was in boarding school and he was moving around
Momina: and all of my family is
Momina: in different parts of the world
Samina: so, when your father was moving around, where did he meet your mother?
Momina: it was an arranged marriage, actually Samina: Really?
Momina: yeah, but they act, even now, they act like they met two days ago
Momina: and they just fell in love Samina: Wow!
Momina: they are always on the phone, texting each other
Momina: my mom's name is saved as 'Babe' on my dad's phone
Momina: which is pretty embarrassing, sometimes
Momina: because then their phone says 'Babe'
Momina: and everyone gets awkward like
Momina: who is this "BABE" calling you?
Samina: so he is an army man and she?
Momina: she is a doctor. She got married when she was in medical school
Momina: and then she moved to Germany
Momina: with my father
Samina: So, how did music come to Momina?
Momina: I don't know where music came from
Samina: do your brothers have this passion too? Momina: Both my brothers sing very well. Momina: they play the guitar as well
Samina: does your mother sing?
Momina: mom, dad both. They all have a very good voice
Momina: my older brother is a doctor
Momina: my younger brother is..
Momina: he just graduated
Momina: he finished his Bachelor's in political science
Samina: where do you go to school? Momina: in New York and Pakistan
Samina: where in Pakistan?
Momina: at many place. In Lahore,
Momina: Islamabad
Momina: and 8 months in Karachi
Samina: and what would you do in school?
Momina: in school I was a very confused girl because
Momina: in Pakistan it's British Education System
Momina: and in New York, obviously is American System
Momina: over there they would teach me
Momina: C-O-L-O-R are the spellings of color
Momina: and here it was Samina: C-O-L-O-U-R
Momina Nope!
Momina Wrong Momina: It's C-O-L-O-U-R. you're missing a "u"
Momina: so then I would learn that there is a U, because I would forget so
Momina: then I'd go back and
Momina: in a spelling test I would say I know this
Momina: it's C-O-L-O-U-R and it's wrong again
Momina: and I am like, so what is right? Everything is wrong
Samina: ok, so what usually happens when there are two brothers and one sister
Samina: then the girl are more, you know
Samina: inclined towards the "boy games" you know
Samina: and those types of things Momina: yes Samina: they'll play cricket
Samina: climb trees, do cycling
Samina: will have a lot of fun
Momina: but then you have to think what are boy games? Right?
Samina: so what are you?
Momina: I am a girl who loves all sports and
Momina: I used to challenge myself
Momina: just the way my brothers used to challenge themselves
Momina: because my parents never raised me as
Momina: she's a girl or he's a boy
Momina: it was always; these are our kids and that our kids should be exposed to all sports
Momina: they should do every activity. What my brothers would do
Momina: I would do too. Cricket
Momina: Horse riding, show-jumping, Polo
Momina: Tennis, Swimming
though I never learnt it
Momina: I was always an old dog who couldn't be taught new tricks
Momina: so swimming I could never learn um Hiking
Momina: and all of these things,
Momina: but yeah I used to play with all the guys on the street with my brothers
Momina: because not many girls used to come out
Samina: So, your brothers ever played 'girls' games'?
Samina: because it really fascinates me. 0:05:08.135,0:05:11.555 Samina: I met somebody and their daughter
Samina: likes all the boyish games
Samina: and their son plays with the doll
Momina: really? Samina: I thought that was so amazing
Samina: and why not? Momina: exactly!
Samina: you know this segregation, and I agree with you
Samina: and admire your parents
Samina: that they didn't make these separate compartments
Samina: and boxes for their kids. Momina: we used to play together
Momina: if I also had barbie
Momina: then I would also have had a Lego
Momina: and I also used to have small miniatures of army
Momina: my brothers and I used to play together
Momina: so there would be a tank next to a barbie
Momina: because the sports
Momina: games and activities were never defined as
Momina: gender specific sports
Momina: as girls' or boys' games
Samina: what is the benefit of doing this?
Momina: I guess it makes you more open
Momina: to not putting things into certain
Momina: boxes
Momina: like it is for girls or boys
Momina: my favourite colour while growing up was blue
Momina: and yellow
Momina: which probably are not very feminine
Momina: according to the stereotypes
Samina: yeah! Momina: but umm I like them
Samina: no, it is good thing 0:06:26.225,0:06:28.115 Samina: it is not necessary to like pink if you are a girl
Momina: yeah and there
Momina: was a time when my brothers and I used to
Momina: share a bedroom
Momina: so it had all the colours and stuff
Momina: I am really glad that
Momina: in my childhood
Momina: education, activity were not defined by gender
Momina: so I never thought that way
Samina: actually what happens is
Samina: you do not make distinctions
Samina: nor you draw lines
Samina: so then the whole universe is yours
Samina: explore and find out who you are
Momina: yeah! And you can develop skills
Momina: you might not have been able to develop
Momina: not because of your gender
Momina: but because of the roles that society
Momina: define with the genders
Momina: my older brother was the one who first started
Momina: cooking in the household
Momina: in school he learnt how to make chicken soup
Samina: do you know my husband cooks? Momina: Really? Samina: and when he used to cook initially
Samina: people used to say
Samina: why does Usman make the breakfast? I said why not?
Samina: and even the talk show we were doing on PTV
Samina: he would make tea and coffee for everyone and bring it and everybody used to say
Samina: oeople used to write us letters
Samina: that why are you allowing it?
Samina: I said why should I take that away? It gives him pleasure
Samina: we need to break these societal stereotypes
Momina: we impose so many restrictions on us
Momina: by defining our roles in such a way
Momina: it's sad
Momina: but then I think
Momina: we are evolving
Momina: time has been changed
Momina: you have so many men
Momina: we have both men and women 0:08:12.705,0:08:15.695 Momina: among the most famous chefs
Momina: I think in every sector
Momina: we men and women
Momina: standing shoulder to shoulder
Momina: and it's getting even more common
Momina: because people are breaking stereotypes
Momina: and t's very refreshing to see
Samina: it's good. Momina: even in sports Samina: Yes and I think it makes you more secure
Samina: a society where men and women are equal
Samina: and in every kind of field, it's refreshing
Samina: and secure, very secure
Samina: because if you are not pulling someone backwards
Samina: so you are not even denying them
Momina: I think it opens new avenues for bigger and better things because
Momina: wherever there is collaboration
Momina: it always ends up into something bigger
Momina: and better
Momina: so where men and women through collaboration
Momina: take forward any field and profession
Momina: both sides will give their input
Samina: exactly!
Samina: when both the parents together brought up the children
Samina: they turn out to be very brilliant
Samina: like you Momina: Thank you!
Momina: im my household if I convince dad for anything
Momina: that "please give me permission"
Momina: and he'd said 'yes' and then I go to my mother
Momina: and she'd say 'no'
Momina: then that was a 'NO', obviously
Momina: and if mom says 'yes' and dad says 'no' that's also a no
Momina: so it was more work
Momina: by emotionally blackmailing both of them
Samina: so what did you study in college? Momina: I am a biomedical engineer and an applied mathematician
Momina: I have a double-major
Samina: so how did you come to this direction?
Samina: you should have been a doctor? Momina: mom says the same!
Samina: Naturally or to have been in army Momina: because mom is a doctor and my older brother is a doctor
Momina: I tell my mom that if there were no biomedical engineers then doctors
Momina: Can't do their work
Momina: and if we don't make the machinery
Momina: so the tests that you write and give to patients, where will they do it from?
Samina: and when did you get all of this wisdom?
Momina: I think everyone has common sense but you have to tap into it
Momina: and if biomedical engineers don't make medicine
Momina: so what you prescribe…
Momina: what will you prescribe?
Samina: so what would young Momina used to think?
Momina: always since my childhood I used to see my mother Samina: yes, what would she think?
Samina: What dreams did she have?
Momina: I would watch my mom since childhood
Momina: she is a doctor
Momina: she has always been….umm
Momina: her profession was more to help people
Momina: with compassion
Momina: she always used to work for free
Momina: in places, set up camps for women and children
Momina: because mom is gifted
Momina: in a way that she can speak multiple languages
Momina: she is a Farsiwan
Momina: so she is a Persian speaking but she also knows Pashto
Momina: because her grandmother was
Momina: an M.N.A in Peshawar so she would
Momina: spend a lot of time, every summer probably
Momina: in Peshawar so she picked up Pashto as well so she knew
Momina: as well so she knew the Pashto
Momina: I think the Afghani dialect and
Momina: the other dialect. There's two dialects apparently
Momina: so then when she would set up camps
Momina: in areas in Islamabad or in areas of Quetta
Momina: she was better able to communicate with refugees
Momina: especially because their language
Momina: barrier was quite big
Momina: and I used to accompany her and see
Momina: that how people are praying with their hearts wide open
Momina: that you can understand their pain
Momina: and you are trying to help them, whether it is just a paracetamol medication
Momina: that you are prescribing. It's their pain that they can't tell anybody about
Momina: and they are telling it there
Momina: and they are getting better so women would come back
Momina: because they didn't have money
Momina: so they would either bring a jar of honey or something home-cooked
Momina: as a way to thank the doctor
Momina: for helping them
Momina: so that really inspired me
Momina: to see that helping mankind
Momina: is the biggest service you can do and it's more rewarding Samina: and how old were you then?
Momina: I was very little; I was very young so as a kid I would go with her
Samina: so how did you become such a sensitive soul? Momina: since always. Because that's the values
Momina: my parents instilled
Momina: in all of us. Compassion and respect for humanity
Momina: no matter the financial background they belong to
Momina: or whatever professional background
Momina: you have to respect others
Momina: to earn respect for yourself
Momina: because whatever status you have today
Momina: it might not be the same tomorrow 0:13:06.465,0:13:09.295 Momina: maybe your financial position
Momina: may also change
Momina: or it might get better
Samina: or everything might get vanish Momina: exactly my point!
Momina: it might finish completely or you might get double than you have
Momina: but you must not forget that
Momina: what you actually are and what defines you?
Momina: it is 'humanity'
Momina: until you don't become a good human being
Momina: you cannot succeed in life
Samina: what would be discussed on the dining table?
Momina: umm
Momina: on the dinning table, I eat a lot, first
Momina: and the biggest problem would be
Momina: "talk after you're done eating." because
Momina: I would be eating and talking, because I love talking
Momina: so half the time he would say, "Please be quiet" Samina: and what type of discussion would you have?
Momina: about work, about the day
Momina: my house always had a rule
Momina: my father used to be very busy
Momina: my mother would be busy all of us would be busy as well
Momina: but we would all eat dinner together. While eating dinner
Momina: my father would ask, "What happened during the day?"
Momina: "what happened in the school?"
Momina: "What did you learn today?" my mother would ask the same
Momina: and baba would share what happened in his day
Momina: and mom too and then they'd always ask, "what did you learn today?"
Momina: "what was the conclusion of today?"
Momina: because this is how you live your life, right?
Momina: one day finishes and then it's just gonna be yesterday,
Momina: so what did you learn that day?
Momina: because every day should be
Momina: should be something that adds to you
Momina: and every day you grow and you grow
Momina: so that day what growth did you have? it could be anything
Momina: So that would be a dinner-time conversation
Momina: and about how you could
Momina: give back to society
Momina: and make a difference
Momina: because everybody lives and everyone dies
Momina: That's part of life.
Momina: You know you can't deny the fact that
Momina: You, I and everyone are going to pass away.
Momina: and move onto whatever is next for us, the after life
Momina: but what have we done in this life?
Momina: so we need to be in touch with it daily
Momina: people usually forget and they get into this rat
Momina: and this rat race..
Momina: it's okay that we all want to achieve
Momina: professionally, financially. That's not wrong
Momina: that's also right and good
Momina: because if you don't make yourself financially strong
Momina: in this life then you can't
Momina: give your next generation a good start
Momina: so that's not wrong either
Samina: so on the dinning table while discussing, eating
Samna: and singing
Samina How did you find out that you could take this forward?
Momina: Singing? Samina: Singing professionally too.
Samina: Are you a professional singer, yet? Or not?
Momina: I only sang at Coke Studio last year
Momia: and then Coke Studio this year.
Momina: and I also did Samina: who discovered you?
Momina: so, I actually umm
Momina: wrote and composed a song when I was in college with a friend of mine over Skype
Momina: who was a producer and then another friend
Momina: came on board who was also a musician and somehow
Momina: the song got released
Momina: I was not in the video.
Momina: because I never wanted to be in the limelight
Momina: For me, my education was the priority
Momian: because umm
Momina: That's very important Samina: But that's a tough field you chose
Momina: oh, very tough field.
Momina: That's why When…when people,
Momina: call me a singer
Momina: It pinches me a little bit Samina: Why?
Momina: Because I've put in so many years,
Momina: in college, for some sort of recognition.
Momina: to be recognized as an engineer
Momina: and a mathematician. Primarily an engineer.
Momina: Umm Music was something, I guess,
Momina: I love music. But then
Momina: the hard work I did for a particular field
Momina: Day and night. I wouldn't have time to sleep
Momina: Having two majors in college is not easy.
Momina: It's very hard
Samina: But that's something nobody can take away from you.
Momina: Also, I got recognized by my college
Momina: The State University of New York
Momina: As 40 under 40. 40 most, uh
Momina: Successful graduates who are under 40
Momina: For the SUNY system
Samina Wow! Momina: yeah!
Samina: it was the beginning. A lot must have happened afterwards
Momina: no, it happened recently. I've just got awarded this honour Samina: this year? Momina: Yes!
Momina: they are actually announcing it
Momina: in a day or two
Momina: the ceremony is in January
Momina: so I'm very proud, very happy
Momina: to be recognized
Momina: by your institution where you have
Momina: studied really hard
Momina: because there was a time when I thought
Momina: that must got tired of me
Momina: because my major
Momina: was also very hard
Momina: because in that major 10 to15 people
Momina: are chosen among thousands
Momina: Because it's a very tough field. Tough and competitive.
Momina: and how I got into the major
Momina: and all the hard work I did, only I know that.
Momina: however many sleepless nights, but I enjoyed it.
Momina: my parents used to say, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
Momina: you could do Samina: So will you do a PhD?
Momina: Maybe Momina: I would love to
Samina: singing profession
Momina: yeah! Samina: is also very tough
Momina: very tough!
Samina: in learning
SAmina: and getting training from teachers
Momina: Yes and people think…when Afreen happened
Momina: I got success overnight
Momina: and I became a household name
Momina: I did not get success overnight. They do not know my story
Momina: I have been making music since since
Momina: I was in 5th grade. I have been writing
Momina: my own music and playing the guitar
Momina: so rewind again
Samina: so you taught yourself?
Momina: yes!
Samina: which other instruments do you play?
Momina: that's what I'm gonna tell you
Momina: my parents always said there is no limit
Momina: you should keep learning and growing
Momina: my mother is a prediatition and there is a research that says
Momina: children who know how to play an instrument
Momina: do better in school
Momina: because in music and
Momina: like you said being an engineer and a mathematician
Momina: why music? Because in music there is a lot of
Momina: science and maths
Momina: this connection
Momina: there are some notes that go two fracts up
MominaL and then there are notes that go two and a half frats
Momina: that you have to think over the run time that
Momina: I wanna go higher
Momina: and you have to calculate it in your mind
Momina: that I just two now I'm gonna go
Momina: two and a half
Momina: it's not like you keep on thinking so that's where maths comes in
Momina: my mother being a prediatition had done
Momina: extensive research
Momina: like I told you before
Momina: research says children who know how to play an instrument tend to do better in school
Momina: because their neuron development
Momina: occurs that way. It's all in the brain
Momina: so they introduced me to the guitar
Momina: and the piano
Momina: in elementary schools in America you have to choose an instrument
Momina: while you are growing up so it was the violin
Momina: and I used to learn how to play violin
Momina: that's the only instrument that I learned
Momina: but then I stopped playing it because I like singing
Momina: and you can't play a violin and sing
Momina: like this I got introduced to the music
Momina: my parents and I would do road trips
Momina: and then we would together sing, all five of us
Momina: that's how I got introduced to the music
Momina: then when I was in college
Momina: sorry when I was in school
Momina: I was in Pakistan for high school
Momina: and went to L.G.S in Lahore
Momina: I used to play the guitar
Momina: and used to have a girl band
Momina: it was all girls, a drummer
Momina: was in 8th grade at that time her name was Khadija Nasir
Momina: she was really good and
Momina: another girl Zara used to play guitar
Momina: and we used to do gigs in our school
Momina: we used to think we were so cool
Momina: would wear shalwar kameez
Momina: go on stage and paly
Momina: criss cornell and different musicians
Momina: then I started college
Momina: and there
Momina: I worte and composed a song
Momina: that somehow ended up getting released
Momina: that song became really big
Momina: it got nominated at the Lux Style Awards
Momina: for song of the year
Momina: and I was really surprised
Momina: after that in free time during classes
Momina: because music is a creative expression
Momina: um when you
Momina: want to express yourself
Momina: Sometimes words aren't enough
Momina: you need to play something or sing something
Samina: or paint or draw
Momina: exactly Samina: or write
Momina: so that's your expression
Momina: that's how would I express myself
Momina: on internet I would play something
Momina: only the audio
Momina: there was this song that I
Momina: covered , "mere bina" from some indian movie
Momina: I really liked that song
Momina: so I came up with my own version of it with a friend
Momina: recorded it on the computer
Momina: and I uploaded it
Momina: somehow it reached bigger audiences,
Momina: producers and directors
Momina: of the movie it was from
Momina: I think the universe has its way
Momina: if you are destined to do something
Momina: it somehow finds you
Momina: or you end up doing that
Momina: so I got offer to sing for
Momina: Bollywood movie initially I didn't sing for it
Momina: I never wanted to sing professionally
Momina: but then it just so happened
Momina: that I did end up singing for this movie
Momina: 'ek villain' I recorded it in New York
Momina: I never met with anyone involved in the process
Momina: I even find the contract after the thing was realised
Momina: and also
Momina: that became big I don't know how and why
Momina: but it did
Momina: I was in my finals week and I was very busy
Momina: with my exams. I had dark circles
Momina: because I didn't have time to even sleep
Momina: and eat because it was all like run run and run
Momina: class, class and class
Momina: project and in engineering there is a lot on hands on work
Momina: in workshops, through programming, complete the project
Momina: in the break between all that
Momina: I recorded that song
Momina: and I was so frustrated when I recorded it
Momina: I am a perfectionist. Until I am not satisfied
Momina: with it
Momina: I do not get the feeling of achievement
Momina: I wanted to work on it more
Momina: but they were running short on time
Momina: so I sent whatever I had recorded
Momina: I said I am not satisfied with it
Momina: I don't have time for this week
Momina: next week if I have time i'll re-do it
Momina: if you can use this that's fine
Momina: and they liked it and used it and it was great
Samina: what was the song? Momina: Avari
Samina: I will listen.
Momina: a lot of people do not know about it
Momina: because on the contract I had the issue
Momina: that I don't want my picture, name or
Momina: not that anybody would care who I was
Momina: I didn't like it
Momina: I didn't want to be exposed
Momina: it was for the love of music
Momina: I didn't want to be famous
Momina: to the world, fame looks attractive
Momina: very shiny
Momina: but you also know
Momina: fame has another side too
Momina: where you kind of don't have a personal life anymore 0:25:55.975,0:25:59.245 Momina: somehow people don't really think of you
Momina: as being just a human
Momina: they don't relate
Momina: human sentiments to you anymore
Momina: because they think you are some kind of persona
Momina: whose not very human
Samina: no actually Everybody starts finding themselves in you
Momina: they do, that's another call
Samina: but their
Samina: wherever they are coming from
Samina: it starts to reflect that
Momina: that's why it puts more pressure on you
Momina: to stay relatable
Momina: that's why I tried to be as simple as possible
Momina: and try to be true to myself
Momina: because it's very very easy to lose yourself
Momina: in this noise
Momina: where everyone is like
Momina: thinking of …
Momina: you know when people talk to me and refer to me in such words that
Momina: kind of suggest that
Momina: I am some celebrity
Momina: I really feel like they are talking about some third person
Momina: it's not me
Samina: it will keep you grounded
Samina: it's a blessing Momina: you have to stay grounded
Momina: it's very hard to stay grounded
Momina: but you have to not for anyone else but for yourselves
Momina: because whatever goes up comes down
Samina: what is failure then? If success is what you are talking about
Momina: failure is disappointing your own self
Momina: failure is not measured by what people say
Momina: even success is not measured by what people say
Momina: it's about
Momina: when you go to sleep at night
Momina: how do you feel about yourself
Momina: how do you feel about what you did
Momina: there is a song that I did
Momina: in Coke Studio this year
Momina: it's called 'Ghoom Tana'
Momina: circle of life. That was done by Shuba Mubtal with Junoon
Momina: it did well
Momina: it wasn't Afreen or Tera Who Pyar
Momina: for me it was
Momina: satisfying, that was success
Momina: because I felt
Momina: that I did justice
Momina: so that was success for me
Momina: maybe not for other people
Momina: and failure
Momina: I think with Afreen
Momina: I really like it
Momina: I don't think that's the best
Momina: of me. I don't think so
Momina: so when people praise it
Momina: Afreen became the most watched song in the history of Pakistan
Momina: it hit a hundred million
Only a day after Taj Dar-e- Haram
Momina: and it crossed Taj Dar-e-Haram so it's the most successful song
Samina: so what did you do at that time?
Momina: oh nothing
Momina: I was like that's great Samina: Really?
Momina: I mean great
Samina: didn't you skip a little or
Momina: No Samina; No?
Momina: no, because it happened and I am glad
Momina: that I was part of it
Samina: so how were you going to make the balance
Samina: of the engineer and the artist?
Momina: I think
Momina: I struggled daily to make that balance
Momina: and I try very hard, I fight very hard
Momina: to keep that balance that's probably
Momina: why I just got named by the BBC
Momina: as BBC 100 women for 2017
Momina: and that has nothing to do with my music
Momina: it has all to do with my social caused and the work that I do
Momina: outside of being a musician Samina: Aren't you lucky?
Momina: I'm very lucky. Very, very lucky. Very blessed.
Samina: Because this is very special
Momina: I'm very blessed and honoured
Momina: I am the only Pakistani on that list
Momina: and when I found out Samina: your intelligence must be acknowledged
Samina: and art too
Momina: art and then humanitarian work
Momina: your aims in life
Momina: must also be acknowledged
Samina: humanitarian work is done with heart
Momina: I..I like to think that I'm blessed
Momina: and lucky
Momina: but then I also want to give myself this credit that I worked very hard for this
Momina: People think that I am living this
Momina: perfect life with no issues
Momina: I am not! I don't even get to sleep a lot of times
Momina: because that's how occupied I am
Momina: Because if you have a passion, then you need
Momina: "Dedication"
Samina: are you going to start your own firm? Momina: I will
Samina: I think you are heading for it. I feel it Mmina: yeah I want to
Samina: don't you think your work will be so much easier
Samina: being famous also has its.. Momina: it helps
Momina: it helps my causes
Samina: your causes, your work, your business
Samina: the door will be open faster
Momina: when 'Afreen; happened, I wasn't expecting
Momina: it to be so successful
Momina: honestly I was very nervous knowing that,
Momina: that was the first song, that was being put out.
Momina: because in that song, I didn't even get to rehearse
Momina: And it's all live.
Momina: And it was with Rahet Fateh Ali Khan who is a living legend.
Momina: He asked me, when he met me, that "Where did you learn to sing?"
Samina: That was a compliment
Momina: I didn't know what to say to him. Samina: that was a compliment girl!
Momina: I was like…Sir I haven't learnt.
Momina: it was a big honour for me to
Momina: sing next to him
Momina: and so in the video you could probably tell that I'm very nervous
Samina: being nervous is a good thing
Samina: it takes you forward
Momina: yes because
Momina: when you are nervous, it doesn't mean you are
Momina: under confident
Momina: it means that you are not over confident
Momina: when you become over confident
Momina: and when you think you have achieved everything
Momina: and you are good
Momina: you are successful or whatever
Momina: that day your growth will be finished
Samina: So you will do your engineering work here? Momina: here too, I am doing it.
Momina: I have developed
Momina: a Solar-panel powered vaccine transport cooler
Momina: that I hope to develop in a university lab here
Momina: because Pakistan, among a few countries
Momina: where there is
Momina: still a little bit of Polio
Momina: we need to eradicate it.
Samina: Yes, our weather conditions
Samina: are very difficult for vaccines Momina: yes, weather too
Samina: you know the heat. In such heat how can you..?
Momina: yes, because Polio's vaccine needs to be maintained at a certain temperature
Monina: and we also have limited electricity
Momina: here in rural areas.
Momina: we often forget that you and we
Momina: and those from big cities Momina: we don't define pakistan
Momina: we are 4-5 big cities but the majority of Pakistan is in
Momina: rural areas, in villages.
Momina: we need to take them forward to grow
Momina: which actually reminds me of another thing
Momina" I feel very passionate about
Momina: 'woman empowerment'
Momina: it is not just a label
Momina: that you would slap on anything
Momina: and it is not a topic that you would
Momina: talk about
Momina: to look good
Momina: it's something that you would want to do if you actually
Momina: feel passionate about it
Samina: that's a lot of hard work Momina: when you talk about woman empowerment
Momina: you can not forget the statistics and the reality of
Momina: the country
Momina: you cannot have a generic formula for empowerment in every country
Momina: in Pakistan the gender ratio
Momina: of man to woman is 1:1
Momina: but the work ratio is 30:1
Momina: 30 man to every woman
Momina: education
Momina: over 70 % of men are literate
Momina: basic literacy
Momina: they can read and write their name
Momina: only 43% women are literate
Momina: there is a huge contrast
Momina: why is there a huge contrast?
Momina: it's because
Momina: we have not understood
Momina: empowerment in its true sense
Momina: empowerment doesn't mean
Momina: that a if a woman comes out of the house
Momina: she is immoral
Momina: morals, empowerment and rights
Momina: are three different things
Momina: for me
Momina: empowerment is to be respected
Momina: as much as a man is respected
Momina: and I want to be given the same education
Momina: and I think
Momina: empowerment is to get the same opportunities professionally
Momina: and the same wages
Samina: did you think if a woman 0:35:21.585,0:35:23.975 Samina: gets economically empower
Samina: her whole generation becomes empowered
Samina: if she has earned money
Samina: which is of equal wage
Momina: I think empowerment in Pakistan
Momina: or in any other country
Momina: doesn't come from being rebellious. you have to take the society with you
Momina: if you want to be empowered
Momina: you need to teach the society
Momina: what empowerment means?
Samina: what should girls do in order to find in themselves art etc?
Momina: you need to interact with boys
Momina: because you cannot forget
Momina: that what kind of a society is ours
Momina: there is gender discrimination
Momina: male dominated society
Momina: very polarized
Momina: we need to focus on problem
Momina: address them
Momina: and teach the men that
Momina: empowerment is a good thing
Momina: it is not just beneficial for women
Momina: but for men as well
Momina: how is it beneficial for men?
Momina: under present economical environment
Momina: it is necessary that both men and women work
Momina: to run the house
Samina: but then they would say
Samina: house and kids are being neglected
Momina: you need balance
Samina: that means the men have to change their attitude
Samina: they need to become partners
Samina: balance is created when both act as each other's support
Samina: if they understand that the house belongs to both
Samina: not only of a man's or a woman's
Momina: that's why I think
Momina: it's very important to teach men What is empowerment?
Momina: they need to trust their women
Momina: why do they think
Momina: that their women are good
Momina: because they have kept an eye on them
Momina: that women can't handle themselves
Momina: without their supervision
Momina: that's not true
Momina: don't they trust their upbringing and education?
Momina: they should
Momina: they need to have faith in their blood
Momina: in their daughter
Momina: that she won't 'let them down'
Momina: we will educate her raise her like our son
Momina: she'll make us proud
Momina: and she'll earn success
Momina: in any field like education, arts
Momina: in any skill
Momina: it's very important when we are talking about empowerment
Momina: we also keep the men on board
Momina: I think I am an empowered woman
Momina: but I wouldn't be who I am if my father and brothers
Momina: have not given me the respect
Momina: and the confidence
Samian: in your house, who does the interior?
Samina: who brings in the furniture?
Momina: both mom and dad
Samina: do you have an interest in it?
Momina: a lot! Samina: ….of making your home Momina a lot!
Momina: I really like..I think that
Momina: your personal energies should be in sync with your surroundings
Momina: only then can they resonate
Momina: if you're not comfortable with your environment
Momina: or if you don't have a personal environment, then you can't grow
Samina: what's your favourite color? Besides blue
Momina: I really like yellow
Samina: is there yellow in your house's interior?
Momina: there is but my room is pink.
Samina: I don't believe this! How did this happen?
Momina: I don't know how this happened, either
Momina: but I never liked pink in my childhood 0:39:28.545,0:39:31.405 Samina: do you know
Samina: that I never liked pink either as a child Momina: I always thought
Samina: pink only came recently into my life, I've started wearing pink. Momina: Really? Samina: yeah
Momina: because I always thought pink is slapped on to girls
Momina: girl equals pink Samina: there was some defiance right?
Momina: yeah Momina: I was like, why should I fit into this norm?
Samina: when did you fall in love?
Momina: when did I fall in love?
Momina: as soon as I was born Samina: with whom? Momina: with my parents, my siblings
Samina: and after that?
Momina: after that…um look you fall in love with everyone all the time
Samina: you can't fall in love with everyone Momina: it happens
Samina: love is a very beautiful feeling
Samina: because I think that's the only time
Samina: when your heart, mind, body and soul
Samina: together at the same time starts loving someone
Momina: I think love is always in you
Momina: love is not defined by others
Samina: are you a romantic?
Momina: I don't know
Samina: to me, you seem very practical Momina: I am practical
Samina: very focused, very practical
Samina: mathematician, scientist
Momina: but I also understand
Momina: not everything has science in it
Samina: there is very romantic side of you otherwise music wouldn't have come
Momina: that's true when I sing I sing with my soul
Momina: I feel it
Samina: so when did you fall in love?
Momina: love is not because of some else
Momna: love is something within you
Momina: whether you have that strength or not
Momina: it's not dependent on the other person
Momina: it's your capacity to love
Momina: I do have that capacity to love
Samina: what will you do?
Samina: you'll make your house or your career?
Momina: I think both things can go side by side
Samina: and Music?
Momina: everything can go side by side.
Samina: how will you create that balance?
Momina: you'll see me create it Samina: and when will it be?
Momina: I don't know
Samina: no plans yet? Momina: these things are not planned
Momina: it just happens
Momina: you can never plan these things out
Momina: because they have to happen naturally
Momina: it needs be balanced and resonate with you
Samina: if you rewind and look in your past
Samina: what do you see?
Samina: I should be like this or that?
Momina: you can never be bitter about what
Momina: has happened in the past
Momina: thinks happen, good and bad, both
Momina: there was a time when I wasn't at
Momina: peace with myself for it
Momina: there were some things
Momina: that I thought should not have happened
Momina: wrong has been done to me or I did wrong
Momina: but when you rewind
Momina: you thought whatever has happened
Momina: good or bad was destined to happen
Momina: like a story or movie
Momina: there comes many characters
Momina: in your life
Momina: and they have a role
Momina: later you forget who that character was
Samina: but don't you think
Samina: if you get disappointed or hurt
Samina: that makes you a different kind
Samina: of sensitive person
Samina: and in art
Samina: sensitivity is very important
Samina: I say that actors
Samina: who have experienced something bad
Samina: are turn out to be good actors
Momina: because you learn
Momina: I think whatever that has happened with me in my life
Momina: good or bad, if wouldn't have happened
Momina: I might not be the kind of person I am today
Momina: you learn more after falling
Momina: if you never fall then you can never
Momina: know what falling means
Momina: and you can't be that much thankful
Momina: to be standing up
Momina: yin and yan, good and bad, they balance
Momina: bad happens so you can appreciate the good
Momina: good happens so that you can appreciate
Momina: what you have achieved
Samina: what will we see in the fast forward?
Samina: a doctor in future?
Momina: I don't think I will be a doctor
Samina: a PhD doctor Momina: oh yeah!
Momina: knowledge is a thirst that can never be quenched
Momina: knowledge is not just education
Momina: it's experiences, learning from every
Momina: discipline
Momina: your growth will end the day
Momina: you think that you have learnt everything
Samina: will you have a teacher in music?
Momina: why not? I would love to
Momina: I want to
Samina: what's close to your heart
Samina: classical, ghazal, or what?
Samina: every genre is different Samina: there is thumri, dadri
Samina: then there is
Samina: folk and contemporary
Samina: what you youngsters are doing these days
Samina: so will you aver go to that sea of knowledge
Momina: I would love to
Momina: I would love to learn and explore and grow
Samina: did you ever develop the interest for Qawali?
Samina: because I would love to
Samina: girls should sing Qawali
Samina: and with their style
Samina: that's why I love Atif's Qawali
Samina: because he has sung it in his style
Samina: will you? Momina: I would love to explore everything and anything
Momina: I just don't get time
Samina: Have you ever painted? Momina: yes!
Samina: what did you paint?
Momina: it was a scenery. There was a house and behind it some mountains
Samina: oh, you did that too? Samina: all the kids have done that
Momina: in front of it there was a lake and birds on top
Momina: the sun was coming out in the black and there was a camp too
Samina: you didn't go beyond that? Momina: not really
Samina: did you ever write? Momina: I do write
Samina: what do you write? Samina: in English?
Momina: both in English and Urdu
Momina: my vocabulary is limited in Urdu
Momina: very limited
Samina: and in what language do you think?
Momina: both English and Urdu
Momina: the flaw in our education system is that they don't teach us Urdu speaking in public
Momina: that's why whenever I speak momina: I feel more comfortable in English
Samina: what do you speak in home?
Momina: in house English, Urdu, Farsi
Momina: we have been scolded in Farsi since childhood
Samina: it's a very beautiful language, Farsi
Momina: yes it is
Samina: will you sing in Farsi? Momina: I would love to
Momina: I actually did sing for
Momina: BBC Persia in Farsi
Samina: your mom taught you?
Momina: no not mom
Momina: I listen to all kinds of music
Samina; did you mother like it? Momina; yes she liked it
Momina: what's life for you?
Momina: life is a very beautiful 'Gift'
Momina: in which we should always keep looking forward
Momina: and learn from the past
Momina: and we should just keep growing
Momina: because you're alive for a purpose
Momina: and you need to find your purpose
Momina: we all can lament over the bad that has
Momina: happened with us
Momina: or we can move forward
Momina: so we should move forward and gather more experiences
Momina: we should explore, travel
Samina: forgiving is important? Momina: very
Momina: you don't forgive
Momina: because the other person deserved it
Momina: you should forgive others
Momina: for your own peace
Momina: because if you don't forgive you won't move forward
Momina: forgive and move on
Samina: and bitterness has no place? Momina: nope
Momina: because bitterness affects you more than anything
Momina: it eats you from inside
Momina: nobody deserves that
Samina: do you laugh a lot? Momina: I do
Momina: a lot!
Momina: on social media
Momina: people troll about my laughter
Momina: I like to laugh
Samina: keep on smiling like that
Samina: tell me what you think about death? Momina: death is part of life
Momina: I just lost my grandmother two months ago
Momina: she was very close to me Samina: were you close?
Momina: very close to me. She was my best friend
Momina: I used to talk to her about the things
Momina: I could not discuss with anyone else and grandma's death was very…
Momina: it happened very suddenly
Momina: she was perfectly fine. She had no health issues
Momina: and she actually went to the hospital herself
Momina: because she wasn't feeling well
Momina: and she was all dressed up
Momina: makeup, matching jewellery
Momina: fancy jewellery Samina: and when did this happen?
Momina: in Multan. She was administered the wrong drug
Momina: and she started bleeding internally
Momina: she suddenly went into the coma
Momina: and I was in New York
Momina: and I found out and I went back right away
Momina: I went to the airport and got whatever flight I got
Momina: went to Pakistan. I was there and she passed away. I, um…
Momina: I could have had
Momina: a breakdown, emotionally
Momina: but I didn't. because I knew
Momina: that even if she isn't in this world
Momina: physically
Momina: her spirit is still here
Momina: I can still talk to her
Momina: because all of us will, one day,
Momina: leave this world
Momina: we will all die, one day
Momina: every soul has to
Momina: pass on
Samina: Yeah, we are all standing in the queue Momina: we are
Momina: so your life's
Momina: success or failure is defined in such a way that
Momina: when you leave this world
Momina: people should know what words to use to remember you
Momina: that is success Momina: and Alhamdulillah (Thanks to Allah)
Momina: Grandma, anybody who ever knew her
Momina: knew her as this person who was always
Momina: satisfied and happy
Momina: and always trying to
Momina: help others and always being
Momina: the source of positivity
Samina: which of her words do you hold strongly?
Momina: no matter what
Momina: somebody did
Momina: she would say "it's fine" that human being is still good'
Momina: and I would say, 'Grandma no!'
Momina: how can this person be good?
Momina: she'd be like, no problem, you don't know they must be good from inside
Momina: from the outside, maybe they had a bad day
Momina: and this would frustrate me in the beginning
Momina: like you say it too, 'That person is bad!' Momina: that's not fair
Samina: because kids you know, their world is quite black and white
Momina: we need validation! Samina: they see in black and white
Samina: They have frames like good frame, bad frame
Samina: but those who have lived their lives have this quality
Momina: and I would say to her that I faced injustice today
Momina: She'd say 'no child it didn't'. count your blessings
Momina: that you have this, this, and this.
Momina: so there is no injustice done to you
Momina: God has given you so much. Yes but…
samina: what song was her favourite?
Momina: what was her favourite song
Momina: she all of them
Samina: which one did you sing for her?
Momina: I used to sing for her all the time
Samina: what would you sing? Momina: old songs Samina: which ones?
Momina: what was that song…
Samina: what would she sing?
Momina: grandma could also sing very well
Momina: we both used to watch old movies together
Momina: she would always say to me
Momina: I want to watch an old movie, so I would go for 90s and 80s movies
Momina: she would say this is latest
Momina: show me older ones Samina: black and white
Samina: she wanted to see black and white Momina: Grandma this is so old
Momina: Even before my birth she'd say no it's from my childhood
Momina: or before I was born. I want to watch old movies
Momina: so we watched a really pointless movie in which,
Momina: I don't know who starred I don't know, something about losing eyes
Momina: it was an Indian movie. I don't know, I don't remember
Momina: it was some movie and the whole time we watched it
Momina: I was like, "why are we watching this movie?'
Samina: Something like, "Teri Surat Meri Aankhein" Momina: no no, it was
Momina: it had that song
Momina: "bachpan k din bhula na dena"
Samina: Oh that! "Deedar"
Momina: yes, Deedar Samina: Dilip Kumar, Nargis
Momina: I was like grandma why did they do this?
Samina: and I think, Ashok Kumar
Momina: the girl didn't recognize him, so why her eyes? I mean…
Momina: there are so many girls in this world
Samina: and what answer did you get?
Momina: I mean what kind of a message are they giving? Momina: she didn't remember her childhood days
Momina: she was 4 years old so what if she couldn't remember the guy?
Momina: I couldn't even remember my friends at the age of 8
Momina: and then all of a sudden you appear from somewhere
Momina: and expect she remembers you?
Momina: and you don't even tell her who you are and when she doesn't recognize you
Momina: you ruin your eyes and go away
Samina: then what did she say?
Momina: Nothing she laughed
Momina: the song is good
Momina: you don't destroy your life in love
Momina: love others
Momina: but do love yourself too
Momina: god has made you for a purpose
Momina: eyes for a purpose
Momina: use them
Momina: my grandma made me meet
Momina: A maulana sahib
Momina: He was like a peer
Momina: I said I don't to meet a peer
Momina: She said meet him
Momina: He said you must be wandering
Momina: I don't have a beard
Momina: And what kind of a maulana I am
Momina: Yeah maybe
Momina: In army we have a general and a soldier
Momina: And there's a difference in their uniforms
Momina: If I follow sunnat or copy him
Momina: I cannot reach to his level
Momina: I appreciated that
Momina: He said when you offer your prayer
Momina: From the start till end
Momina: In your mind the schedule of whole day
Momina: Is going on
Momina: I was like yes
Momina: He said only few people become sufi
Momina: Who forget the whole world
Momina: And think of only God
Momina: And leave all the
Momina: Worldly things
Momina: He said this is wrong
Momina: Because He has made the world and its blessings
Momina: for you
Momina: so that you can live a happy life
Momina: that you make use of those blessings
Momina: because that's what Quran says as well
Momina: that you know, they have made grains out of nothing
Momina: God has given you so much then make use of it
Momina: and give thanks to the Lord
Momina: that's okay if heart was broken
Momina: A girl of 4 years old
Momina: doesn't remember you Momina: oh yeah I let him
Momina: a girl with the tumour who is now 30
Momina: okay heart breaks, whatever but the Lord has given you
Momina: ALLAH has given you this world to enjoy
Momina: give Him thanks. Pray to him
Momina: but have a good life
Momina: laugh, learn, grow, live
Momina: be happy and just die then
Samina: thank you so much

What is Analog Automation? - Duration: 10:42.
In this lesson, I want to talk about Analog Automation
and things that may be processed with this method of production
Before starting this video I wanted to remind you that If you're new to the RealPars channel here on YouTube,
be sure to click the subscribe button below and the little bell thingy
to stay up to date with the latest and greatest PLC programming tips and tricks.
first, I would like to refresh your memory about Discrete Automation.
In a previous lesson, I discussed the different aspects of discrete automation and what may be produced while using this process.
This method of Industrial Automation is used to create items
that may be countable or perhaps something that may be manufactured and then used,
with other parts, to produce a final product, which can also be measured.
Analog automation is different in that while the final product may be countable,
such as a carton of ice cream or package of cookies,
the process to create these items is considered Analog Automation because of the way the manufacturing takes place.
In analog automation, ingredients are treated and blended to create the final product.
As with discrete automation, the manufacturing of a product doesn't necessarily have to be done in one process.
Take ice cream for example.
Company A may combine heavy cream, half and half, egg yolks, sugar,
and salt into a cooking vessel to make an ice cream base.
This base may then be shipped to company B that will combine it with flavors
such as vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate.
While the ingredients of the completed product were made separately,
the final product was treated and blended to create ice cream.
This is just one of many examples.
Let's take a more easily explained procedure to demonstrate an analog automation process.
I'll talk about a possible water treatment process to further explain this concept.
The first thing that is needed for our water treatment plant is water.
Let's say that our treatment plant has a few water sources which are a reservoir,
a lake, and some underground wells.
Well obviously you don't want to drink water straight from a reservoir
and the thought of drinking a little lake water would frighten most snobbish fish and certainly most humans.
These water sources need to be cleaned and disinfected,
not only because we prefer it but also because law typically mandates it.
We're bringing water, into the plant, that is not so desirable
and the first thing we want to do is remove the "big stuff".
There may be leaves, sticks, trash, or even small fish or other animals in the water
and the first line of defense to remove these things may be some sort of straining system.
Once the water exits the strainer system,
it may enter a process of rapid mixing where it would be treated to balance the pH, if needed,
as well as add specific chemicals that would make the particulates in the water stick together
and form a substance of larger particulates called floc.
The floc may then be pumped to a basin where everything is slowed a little
and the floc is allowed to grow even larger.
After the floc has had time to develop,
it may then be pumped to another basin where it is allowed to settle.
This process would allow the large floc to settle to the bottom of the basin
and be removed while the top of the water would flow out of the basins to some sort of filtration system.
The filtration system typically consists of gravel, sand, and a type of coal called anthracite.
As the water travels through these levels of media, smaller particles and organisms are removed from the water.
The water may then travel to a disinfection system.
This system may be as elaborate as another type of filtration system such as membrane,
UV, reverse osmosis, ozone, or any other type.
The disinfection process is determined widely by what the water quality is and the challenges for particle and organism removal.
Are there bacterial or virus concerns, does the water small or taste particularly bad,
those are the sorts of issues that may require additional treatment.
If the challenges are minimal, the disinfection may be as simple as adding chlorine to the water
to ensure all remaining organisms are removed.
Government typically mandates that there is some sort of residual chlorine
remains prior to the water traveling to the distribution system.
Once the water has been properly disinfected it may travel to a holding reservoir
that is used to store the finished product or the water may then be pumped to travel through distribution lines
that lead into the city that requires it.
Other examples of analog automation are the continuous stream of gas and oil,
pulp and paper, chemicals, and that sort of thing.
While most of these products can be measured in some sort of way,
a gallon of gas, a quart of oil, a drum of chemicals, again this doesn't necessarily qualify them as discrete automation
because of the way that the process is handled.
The creation of a widget that ships to a company is much easier to quantify than a water treatment product.
The definition of an analog automation process is more about what happens to produce the end result.
Analog automation is about treating and blending things
while discrete automation is more about assembling different components to create a final product.
As I iterated in the discussion about discrete automation,
starting and stopping of an automation process can be done in either discrete or analog automation.
however, the starting and stopping of a discrete process is as easy as stopping a machine.
The starting and stopping of an analog automation process requires not only careful planning but also advanced preparation.
For instance, in order to stop a water treatment plant
the city must first determine where the water that the city needs will come from.
If there aren't many possibilities of other city treatment plants to furnish the water
then the city may consider some short term option such as filling all storage reservoirs to capacity
and ensuring that the shutdown time is monitored and production is resumed in a relatively short time.
Let's say that this is the option that the plant has chosen to take.
They would first have to stop the influent plant flow.
This may or may not be easy.
If the plant has some motorized valves, they could command those valves to close and begin the shutdown process.
If they did not have the motorized valves,
the staff would have to travel to the location of the influent valve and manually close the valve.
While this may sound relatively easy, some of these valves are on pipes that may be 96 inches in diameter.
That indeed would be a very large valve to manually crank until it was fully closed.
With that chore out of the way, the staff will then have to stop the addition of all chemicals
as well as possibly drain the rapid mix basin.
The reason for draining the basin would be that the floc would settle to the bottom of the basin
and cause many problems for pumping to the next station as well as equipment impact considerations.
Of course, if they have to drain that basin,
they may have to drain the downstream basins as well for the same reasons.
The filters would need to be drained as the stagnant water sitting in the filter
would create an environment for breeding algae and other undesirables.
In other words, all of the processes that it takes to treat water are affected by both short and long term shutdowns.
As you can imagine, the shutdown ramifications may be much greater with analog automation than they are with discrete.

BENIDOOM for Benidorm fans as hit comedy favourite is axed - Duration: 2:27.
BENIDOOM for Benidorm fans as hit comedy favourite is axed
Derren Litten broke the news to devastated viewers on Twitter last night.
He wrote: "Crazy to think Wednesday will be the last episode of Benidorm! I created the series over 11 years ago, wrote it, guest starred in it and ended up directing it.
"It's difficult to think what else there is to do! Thank you for watching!" EastEnders star Shane Richie replied: "Sunday is a day of rest I refuse to get angry.
F*** it!!!! Nooooooooooo!" And one sad fan begged: "Please, please, please can we have more?".
The news about the show, which first hit screens in 2007, seems to have shocked Derren as much as anyone.
He rejected rumours last month that the series, now in its 10th run, was ending due to falling ratings.
He tweeted: "Don't make me f***ing laugh!" Fans heaped praise on the show, with one hailing it "the best cast of all time".
Another said: "I'm going to be heartbroken." A 25-date stage version, Benidorm Live, written by Derren, is due to start a UK tour in September.
It promised fans the "most hilarious, outrageous Benidorm script" ever.
An ITV spokesman last night declined to comment.

The Dish | How is the All of Us Research Program unique? - Duration: 3:08.
We've had the great opportunity to learn from some giants in the large cohort research programs
which is kind of what the All of Us Research Program is as well, but I'm hoping that we're
gonna give back to that community as well because we are trying some bold new things
that quite frankly are kind of unprecedented at the scale and diversity of things we're
aiming for the fences in with this study.
There's kind of four areas, I mean people ask me how are you kind of unique, and I said
the first is really the diversity of people
that we're trying to bring into this large cohort program.
Getting geographic diversity, people from all walks of life,
all around the country is fundamental to the science that we want to be able to do.
As is, people with a mix of health status, so not too many people of one disease versus another,
but a real wide range of people, including many of people who are healthy, as well as
demographics, right, we are focused on under represented in biomedical research.
Those age groups, those people living in rural communities,
most races and ethnicities who have been kind
of left behind from traditional biomedical research, pulling them in so we have new scientific
data and understanding.
And learning how to do a diverse cohort like that will be a learning not just for us, but
all of our partners, and future partners that you can imagine.
The second is really participant centeredness, and this has been done on many smaller scale studies,
but never at the scale of one million people.
We are inviting participants to sit on our governance and help decide
which direction should we go in.
Participate, and brainstorm about the science and the health conditions
that matter to their communities that they want this resource to help facilitate.
Not only that but we are committed to giving information back to participants, very few
studies do this because it's hard, it's expensive, it's ethically challenging,
but it's the right thing to do.
You deserve the data that we capture about you.
You deserve information about your own health.
The other pieces of this are like innovation of very new things that haven't been done
at this large before.
One of those is whole genome sequencing.
There are many studies starting to do whole genome sequencing,
but putting in and saying "Hey, we're gonna do this for a million people."
Just the data size of this creates enormous cost and challenges
just to store your data in a secure and safe place.
The others are kind of like,
"Hey, there's all these mobile phones out there,
we're starting to use them in some scientific studies."
"There's all of these apps and things."
"Is the data coming from your fitness wearable really useful for research?"
We're tackling that problem head on and the learnings that
we have will help many of those who come after us.
And the last piece of this is our accessibility as a program to researchers.
We are making an open resource available to everyone.
All kinds of researchers from citizen scientists to the top academic schools that you see
sometimes winning Nobel Prizes.
We want everybody. The more sort of brain power per problem that scientists
can bring to this, the better.
And opening up that data, and really making it easy
for lots of people to use,
I believe will help accelerate the science and the breakthroughs that we as patients
are all desperately waiting for.

Is Shopify A Good Option To Sell Products - Duration: 7:29.
Welcome back to the Six Figure Mastermind.
I'm excited for today's conversation.
We are going to talk about shopify to see if it's a good idea to sell your stuff for
your six figure business.
Hi Marianne, I have a question.
If I'm looking to sell products on my website, is shopify a good option to use?
Okay, thanks for the question, this is a really good one to investigate.
We want to see if shopify is a good option for selling your products, especially when
it comes to building a 6 figure business and beyond.
Now I'll tell you personally that I know several shopify owners who not only have a six figure
business but a 7 figure and sometimes even an 8 figure business.
So I'm not even at that point and got and say it's a blinking yes because I want you
to get an educated decision, okay?
It could be good for your 6 figure business, it could be maybe not the best for a 6 o 7
figure business.
So let's dive in into some reasons why it could be or why it maybe it couldn't be.
Okay, the first thing you need to know is - you got to know what you want.
Shopify is a great very specific niche that maybe you don't have physical products and
if you don't have physical products, you may want to consider another platform.
Now here's what I mean by that.
A physical product is something that you can ship in the mail, wrap up in a box and sent
it out the door.
Another version of a physical product is kind of a high breed between a physical and a digital
product.
You'll see this a lot in pinterest, all over the internet, the printable pdfs and savable
pdfs, I would still consider that, a physical product although it is delivered digitally,
meaning that the customer will going to buy rights to use whatever you;re selling and
then just print it off using their home computer , take it to a print shop and have it done
there.
So I will say that you know, if it's a product that it's some point you can hold in your
hands, then yeah, shopify could be a good option for you.
Now if it's a product where you're selling coaching or something that will not end up
in someone's hands, maybe shopify isn't the best platform.
Shopify is all about convenience versus control.
Then think about this.
Think about all the different online ways to sell.
You know, you got eBay, you got amazon, you've got wix, you've a shopify, you've got godaddy
even has their own platform.
Bluehost has their own platforms.
They are literally thousands of different ways to start selling online.
And many of them are on this spectrum between convenience versus control.
Let me give you an example.
Take etsy.
And if you're selling on shopify, I hope you do cross pollinate and sell on etsy as well
but they're very two different platforms, okay?
I'd say etsy is leaning more towards the convenience side.
Meaning that when you sell on etsy, who don;t need to build your backgrounds, you don;t
need to build your website, it's essentially plug and play.
You're going to plug in the pictures, you're going to plug in the descriptions, you're
going to plug in your quantities and you're going to press play.
And send out your orders on your own fulfillment.
You don't worry about coding, you don;t worry about html, so it becomes very very on the
convenience side.
Now the control side, would be closer to a personal blog right?
Or a personal website that's not hosted by shopify.
It would say you know, you're going ti be the one to the coding, you're going to be
the one to doing the product placement, you;re going to be the one building a shopping cart
button, you're going to be one the in charge of coordinating this platforms.
That is very very control based, and not a lot of people running 6 figure businesses
have time for that.
It just is very very time consuming especially out the gate.
Which is why shopify it is the perfect middle ground.
Now I will say that shopify that there is some set of learning curve.
There are some things that you're going to want to do, that take a little more time but
it's not completely from scratch either.
So you;re going to have you know shopify, talk to a pre existing merchant account for
you.
Maybe you have PayPal or something like that.
shopify will connect it for you.
You don;t have to build brand new buttons for that, okay?
Shopify will also let you do a lay out on your page.
They'll take your logo and you could put it wherever on the page you want.
Shopify will let you choose fonts, will let you choose styles and they even have a whole
set of stock footage that may be relevant to relevant that you can use.
Some of it lifestyle photography, some of it product photography that maybe useful for
you.
Again, that's convenience versus control.
If it's convenient great, if it's not, control it.
So shopify is right in the middle ground.
It does takes some initial time to set up but once you do, then it's plug and play.
So if you have your shopify store up and running and suddenly you develop a brand new product
or maybe you've develop a brand new system or pdf or something that you want to ship
share with your audience you know, you can add it to your shopify store without having
to know code, without having to know html, essentially you treat it like etsy except
you built the site and design it for you.
You plug in the picture.
You plug in your description.
You put some trust icons on that page.
Trust icon is we accept visa, mastercard or paypal or whatever it is for of payment you
accept that trust icon should totally be on there.
But once you do that, you can essentially set it and forget it except when it comes
the time to ship you know and when that order comes in you process that order, you ship
it out and you're good to go.
So that's come things that shopify can do for you.
You really need to know what your budget is and what your sales volume is.
And in typical beginning shopify account, you can budget anywhere between $30-45 a month
and your account will be up and running with all the custom design features that you're
going to need to first get started.
But if you're not selling enough products to pay for your shopify site, you may want
to consider one of the more convenient based platforms like ebay or etsy or amazon, okay?
That's going to increase your sales volume and it going to increase you know enough that
maybe you'll be able to switch into a shopify store.
But again, if it's not to cover the cost of using the product that's a no brainer.
Don't use it.
It's not for you.
The volume of also needs to be taken care of so you find that your shipping out thousands
and thousands of this product, maybe shopify needs to be scaled up into something like
fulfillment by amazon.
FBA account is what we call that when we're using amazon.
So if you're shipping out huge, massive volume that you're finding that you have so much
volume that you're actually not able to to keep up with the shipments and going out,
I would just then send your inventory over to amazon, let them ship it all for you.
Let them do all of that.
That is the convenience model based model.
That's what's it's there for.
Totally throw it into their hands.
So those are some things to consider.
Is shopify the best platform you?
You need really to decide that for yourself based on what I've share with you today.
Good luck shopping and build that 6 figure business.
Was that helpful?
I hope that was helpful in your business.

Royal wedding 2018: How old is Prince Harry? How old is fiancée Meghan Markle? - Duration: 4:06.
Royal wedding 2018: How old is Prince Harry? How old is fiancée Meghan Markle?
The wedding is the first Royal Wedding since Prince William and Kate Middleton married on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey in London.
While it will be the first marriage for Prince Harry, it is the second wedding for Meghan Markle, who is Harry's senior by three years.
How old is Prince Harry? How old is fiancée Meghan Markle?.
Meghan Markle, 36, was born in LA on August 4, 1981 while Prince Harry, 33, was born on September 15, 1984 at St Mary's Hospital in London.
Meghan was originally married to producer 41-year-old Trevor Engelson, who produced many of Markle's films including Remember Me which starred Twilight star Robert Pattinson.
The pair married in 2011 in Jamaica but it was an ill fated and brief marriage which only lasted three years, despite the couple previously dating for seven years.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been together for around 16 months when the prince got down on one knee over a roast chicken dinner at their Nottingham Cottage home.
They met on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend in July 2016 before having two dates in London.
When will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot?.
They will marry on Saturday, May 19 at St George's Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The BBC has announced it will waive the TV licence fee for local communities.
This means street parties and other special events held to celebrate the Royal wedding can screen the ceremony live without having to buy a licence.
While the guest list remains under wraps, the chapel has a capacity of around 800 people.
The couple will exchange vows at noon before making a two mile procession through Windsor.
A reception will then be hosted by the Queen at St George's Hall in the castle grounds before a smaller evening reception of around 200 guests hosted by Prince Charles.
While the royal couple are keeping the details of their big day close to their chests, London florist Philippa Craddock has been tasked with decorating the chapel with white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves.
The flowers will be donated to charity following the wedding.

What is Buddhism? - Duration: 13:28.
...you met someone on the street and he said "what is Buddhism? He had a couple of
minutes, what would you say? Well you you put me between a rock and a hard
place here, and the rock would be my scholarly integrity almost, and the other hard
place would be my identity as a Buddhist practitioner. So let me try to
negotiate this very, very tricky question by saying in the beginning that, there is
no one form of Buddhism, there are only Buddhism's, these are traditions of
thought and practice - and we might call that praxis, the combination of thought, of
practice - that somehow reconnect to a historical teacher that we call the
Buddha, the awakened one, who lived at some point in the fifth century Before
Common Era. Now all these different schools and
practice...of thought and practice developed, as you can see easily then,
over two hundred...two thousand and five hundred years and there are many, many
turns and modifications and additions and detractions and cultural specificity...
specifics that have developed like that. But if...if you to ask me to tell you
- somebody never met Buddhism before - something about Buddhism as an over
arching term for many Buddhist traditions and that would be...and this...
the person asking would come from, let's say, the Global North or from the
Anglo-European, Anglo-American and European background, then I could choose
to give an answer that links up with the reception of Buddhism in the
West, which we could call Buddhist modernism, where we could stress that
Buddhism really is different from other religions in it...in its self-
understanding as being mainly concerned with methods, or a method, a method that
turns our experience of unsatisfactoriness into an experience of...
yeah, you could say timeless, highest bliss - that's already quite specific with...
to one Buddhist tradition to the Vajrayana tradition - or we could say to
an experience of the falling away of that what makes it unsatisfactory and
that is a more conservative way of formulating it. But this is...this is
firmly rooted in Buddhist modernist tradition, because Buddhism is much more
than just a method. If we understand Buddhism just as a method, then it is
almost like a spiritual therapy or almost like a spiritual psycho-
hygienic practice, and most Buddhists would...would object to that and would say
"no, there is so much more". So, let me give another answer, an answer that negotiates
modernists and pre-modern modes of understanding Buddhist thought and
practice, and that is by simply pointing to the historical Buddha, the awakened
one, who looked at human condition and saw that there is a pattern; a pattern in
the way we experience life and the pattern he described in four steps - that
have also been likened to the way how a GP or a medical doctor would approach
a condition she or he is confronted with in...in a patient - so these four steps
would be looking at that whatever we experience in life - good or bad or happy
or sad - there is a form of unsatisfactory attached to that....unsatisfactoriness
attached to it. Now, this unsatisfactoriness can be quite
concrete in the...in the...in the form of physical pain or mental pain but it can
very often...going...having a wonderful party or having a wonderful relationship,
also carries this kind of unsatisfactoriness and there, it's not
that the experience is bad but that the experience ends, that it is constantly
changing, that is constantly evolving - how much we want to keep the good
impressions - they are always changing. So that is the the suffering or the
unsatisfactoriness of change and on a more existentialist...existential plane
the unsatisfactory lies within the contingency of human life itself, the
experience of that true identity, core identity as something static, some...
something unchanging, is always...always out of reach, because we...we are
experiencing the constant flux of change. Impermanence - that's called in Buddhism.
So this is the simple...a simple almost...
almost trite - you could say, you know - observation from which the Buddha
started to look at what can we do...what can we do to change our experience of
suffering, of change, of impermanence into - so the lack of permanent happiness you
could call it - into an experience of permanency, an experience of the falling
away of that what is...what obstructs permanency. And here the core solution
the Buddha found was, you could say, twofold. In first instance he did not
bother to deny any cultural religious context but he - that he found when he was
there in...in...in South Asia what is now Nepal and India, you know - he
didn't need to deny that there were gods or spirits or demons, those were all
cultural contexts, but he...what he found was that putting our trust in something
outside our experience - a superhuman supernatural being or supernatural
realities - would ultimately not change this experience of lack, this lack of
permanent happiness. So, he identified the main cause of our unsatisfactory
experience - and the main solution - as being located in
the way we understand...we view and understand and experience reality, rather...
rather than looking at something outside. And so what do I mean with that? So he... the
Buddha saw that our grasping at a core, static, independent identity is the real
problem. So another...The grasping of our identity - so the
feeling of...of being an individual separate self, is that what you mean?
Yes and no. So there's nothing wrong with - obviously - with...with developing and
actually it's necessary to develop something like a sort of functioning
idea, more or less, about ourselves, but what the Buddha saw is that the problem
was that we almost petrify, cement the ideas about ourselves and we
mistakenly start identifying with a core self, this static form of delusion -
the illusion of being isolated and insulated from the outside in the form
of a core self, or in some religions it could be compared to a soul, in Advaita
Vedanta it could be compared to the Atman, in Sankhya you would maybe think
about Purusha, although the...the play of Purusha and Prakriti is slightly...is very,
very different than in Advaita Vedanta obviously - but so...so this idea that
there is a core essence to...that we express
in our lives somehow, that is standing in the way of actually experiencing reality
in a...in a satisfactory way. In other words constructing us as separated and
unchangeable in our mind...in our mind, as separate and unchangeable in
relationship to others, and in relationship to other phenomena, is the
core of grasping, the core thirst the Buddha talked about in this four...four
steps, then the core form also of ignorance that perpetuates our
experience of unsatisfactoriness. So, in other words, instead of looking at our
reactions to situations and people and seeing that they are constant
psychological interplays of; what I feel attracted to, what I feel averted from
and what I'm confused about, so instead of seeing that there is an ever-changing
flux and process of "I want, I don't want I don't know", we actually say "well, oh
that is me, that is mine, that am I", and that insulates us from seeing the whole
picture. The whole picture being that on the highest level
there is simply - like in a river - interconnectedness where the water, the
H20 molecules, and all the other little things that make the water flow, are both
interconnected but also
in flux.

Conversations with Jim Zirin -Is There Too Much Oversight at the NYPD? - Duration: 26:46.
♪ [THEME MUSIC] ♪
>> HI THERE. I'M JIM ZIRIN.
WELCOME BACK FOR
MORE CONVERSATIONS.
THE NEW YORK CITY POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS THE LARGEST
MUNICIPAL POLICE FORCE IN THE
NATION.
WITH ALMOST 37,000 OFFICERS.
WITH US IS THE POLICE
COMMISSIONER, JAMES O'NEILL WHO
WAS APPOINTED AS THE 43RD POLICE
COMMISSIONER IN SEPTEMBER,
2016.
HE HAD BEEN 33 YEARS ON THE JOB
AS A POLICE OFFICER.
ON HIS WATCH, NEW YORK CITY HAS
SEEN A CONTINUATION OF LOWER
CRIME AND HOMICIDE RATES.
THE THWARTING OF TERRORIST
ATTACKS AND A RENEWED SENSE
OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS.
A GREAT RECORD BUT THERE ARE
LINGERING PUBLIC QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE NYPD DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM AND
ADEQUATE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES
TO THE SEX CRIMES UNIT AND THE
DEPARTMENT'S RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE CIVILIAN COMPLAINT REVIEW
BOARD.
I'M PRIVILEGED TO WELCOME
COMMISSIONER O'NEILL TO THE
PROGRAM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
LET'S START WITH THE STATE OF
CRIME IN THE CITY.
GOOD NEWS,
>> IT CONTINUES TO BE GOOD NEWS,
2017 WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR THE
CITY.
WE ENDED UP WITH 292 HOMICIDES,
ABOUT 790 SHOOTINGS AND WE WERE
DOWN IN OVERALL INDEX CRIME
ABOUT 4.5%.
YOU HAVE TO GIVE SOME
PERSPECTIVE.
I ALWAYS GO BACK TO 1990 WHEN
THERE WERE 2245 HOMICIDES IN NEW
YORK CITY, 5000 SHOOTINGS AND
600,000 INDEX CRIMES.
2017 WAS A BANNER YEAR.
IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE NYPD BUT
FOR ALL OF NEW YORK CITY.
WHATEVER WE DO, WE DON'T DO IT
ALONE.
WE ARE THROUGH THE FIRST QUARTER
WORKING TWO WEEKS INTO APRIL
AND WE ARE DOWN ANOTHER 13
HOMICIDES THIS MORNING AND ABOUT
15 SHOOTINGS AND ABOUT 4.3
PERCENT IN OVERALL INDEX CRIMES.
>> WOULD YOU SAY THE CITY IS
SAFER THAN EVER?
>> WE HAVE NOT SEEN THOSE
HOMICIDE NUMBERS SINCE THE
1950'S.
A LOT OF HARD WORK BY EVERYONE
AND WE HAVE GREAT PARTNERS WITH
THE FBI, BILL SWEENEY IS IN
CHARGE, GREAT PARTNERS IN THE
DEA AND THE ATF AND THE U.S.
MARSHALS SERVICE AND ALL THE
LOCAL DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.
>> WOULD YOU ATTRIBUTE IT
ENTIRELY TO MORE EFFICIENT
POLICING OR ARE THERE OTHER
ECONOMIC FACTORS, NATIONAL
TRENDS WHERE THE CRIME IS DOWN
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT MIGHT
ACCOUNT FOR THIS?
>> YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER CITIES
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND NOT
HAVING THE SAME RESULTS WE ARE.
WE HAVE SEEN CHICAGO DO BETTER
BUT WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS
SINCE 1992 WHEN MAYOR DINKINS
HIRED 6000 MORE POLICE OFFICERS
AND MAYOR GIULIANI HIRED BILL
BRATTON BACK IN 1994 SO IT ALL
STARTS WITH PUBLIC SAFETY.
SURE, THERE'S A BETTER ECONOMY
AND REAL ESTATE IS UP BUT I
THINK THAT'S A TREND FROM THE
EARLY 1990'S WHEN CRIME WAS AT
ITS PEAK. WHAT WE DID AT THE
NYPD ALONG WITH EVERYONE
ELSE IN THIS GREAT CITY,
SAID NO MORE AND THE DOWNWARD
TREND IN CRIME CONTINUES TO THIS
DAY.
>> YOU'VE ALSO INSTITUTED
PRECISION POLICING OR YOU GO
AFTER REPEAT OFFENDERS AND
GANGS.
HASN'T THAT BEEN A FACTOR?
>> IT IS, PRECISION POLICING IS
IMPORTANT.
THE THING THAT BENEFITS US MOST
RIGHT NOW IS NEIGHBORHOOD
POLICING.
THAT IS A DRASTIC CHANGE FROM
THE WAY PRECINCT OPERATIONS
WERE RUN.
I WAS A PRECINCT COMMANDER IN
EAST HARLEM.
UP UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
IF YOU WORKED IN A PRECINCT, YOU
JUST ANSWERED 911 JOBS OR MAYBE
AN ANTICRIME TEAMS OR ANTI-DRUG
TEAM AND DID TRAFFIC SO WE
WERE TOO SPECIALIZED.
NOW WE ARE NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING
AND HAVE RESECTED 56 OUT OF THE
77 PRECINCTS.
THE SAME COPS IN THE SAME
SECTORS. WE HAVE TWO
NCO'S, NEIGHBORHOOD
COORDINATION OFFICERS IN EACH
SECTOR BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY
AND THE STEADY SECTORS.
I THINK THIS IS HELPING US
BRIDGE THE GAP AND ESTABLISH
RELATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND
ACTUALLY WORK ON IMPROVING THEM
CONSTANTLY.
>> WHEN YOU TOOK OFFICE YOU
SAID YOU WANTED TO PRIORITIZE
COMMUNITY POLICING AND THE
NEIGHBORHOOD POLICING.
YOU TOOK STEPS IN THAT
DIRECTION.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, THERE WAS A
SHAKEUP IN THE COMMUNITY
RELATIONS DIVISION.
YOU REPLACED OFFICERS -- HAVE
YOU REORGANIZE THAT AGAIN?
>> IN JANUARY, FOUR THREE STAR
CHIEFS RETIRED. ONE OF THEM
WAS FROM COMMUNITY AFFAIRS.
NOW NILDA HOFFMAN IS IN
THAT POSITION. NILDA IS,
I WORKED WITH HER IN THE BRONX.
SHE ACTUALLY WORKED WITH ME
AS ONE OF MY LIEUTENANTS
IN THE 44TH PRECINCT.
SHE DID A LOT OF TIME IN
COMMUNITY AFFAIRS IN THE BRONX.
SHE IS A PERFECT FIT FOR THIS
JOB.
SHE IS OUT THERE EACH AND EVERY
DAY HELPING US MAKE NEIGHBORHOOD
POLICING A REALITY.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT OVERSIGHT.
IT'S KIND OF OVERWHELMING, THE
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ENTITIES AND
ORGANIZATIONS THAT OVERSEE THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE THE CIVIL COMPLAINT
REVIEW BOARD, THE COMMISSION TO
COMBAT POLICE CORRUPTION, THE
DEPARTMENT OF INVESTIGATIONS,
THE FEDERAL MONITOR, THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL AND YOU HAVE
THE U.S. ATTORNEYS AND THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S IN THE
VARIOUS COUNTIES.
IS THAT TOO MUCH OVERSIGHT?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD SAY
IT'S TOO MUCH.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
CONSTANTLY LOOK AT ANY POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
SOMETIMES IT'S A LOT OF WORK AND
SOMETIMES IT'S A LITTLE
FRUSTRATING BUT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT EVERYBODY HAS
INPUT INTO HOW WE DO BUSINESS
HERE.
IT'S GOT TO BE THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE.
THE NYPD IS GOOD AT REDUCING
CRIME.
WITH THE TRACK RECORD WE HAVE,
THE OVERSIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS
GOING TO BE THERE.
THE FEDERAL MONITOR WILL BE HERE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT THERE'S
HOPEFULLY A PLAN THAT THEY WILL
DISENGAGE.
>> PETER ZIMROTH, MY FORMER
COLLEAGUE IN THE U.S. ATTORNEYS
OFFICE. A GREAT GUY.
>> ALL OF THESE ENTITIES THAT
HAVE OVERSIGHT OF THE NYPD, THEY
WANT THE SAME THING WE WANT,
THEY WANT THE CITY TO BE SAFE
AND IT'S GOT TO BE DONE
CORRECTLY.
>> TWO OF THE ISSUES THAT HAVE
BUBBLED UP AND MAYBE THEY ARE
ALWAYS THERE IS THE EXCESSIVE
USE OF FORCE WHICH THE CIVILIAN
COMPLAINT REVIEW BOARD IS
PRIMARILY OCCUPIED WITH AND WHAT
DISCIPLINE SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON
OFFICERS IF THEY ARE THOUGHT TO
HAVE USED EXCESSIVE FORCE AND
THEN YOU HAVE THE ISSUE OF
SO-CALLED OFFICERS WHO HAVE LIED
UNDER OATH EITHER BY JUDGES AND
NOW YOU HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF VIDEOTAPE EVIDENCE THAT MIGHT
UNDERCUT WHAT AN OFFICER
TESTIFIES TO.
THOSE OFFICERS, WHEN THOSE CASES
COME UP EVENTUALLY OUR
DISCIPLINE.
YOU ALONE, COMMISSIONER O'NEILL,
HAVE THE FINAL SAY AS TO WHAT
DISCIPLINE SHOULD BE METED OUT.
IS THAT A SATISFACTORY METHOD OF
DISCIPLINE?
OFTEN YOU REVERSE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THESE
VARIOUS COMMISSIONS.
>> IT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN.
I AM THE FINAL ARBITER OF
DISCIPLINE FOR POLICE OFFICER
WITH 36 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
I THINK THAT'S THE WAY IT NEEDS
TO BE.
WE HAVE A DECENT RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE CIVIC COMPLAINT REVIEW
BOARD AND THERE HAS BEEN A
CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP OVER THERE
MY TENURE IS 19 MONTHS.
I AM NOT A PERSON OF CONFLICT, I
LIKE RESOLUTION AND I LIKE
COLLABORATION AND I LIKE WORKING
TOGETHER.
THIS ALL GOES BACK TO WHAT WE
ARE LOOKING TO DO, TRYING TO
MAKE THE CITY SAFER AND MAKE IT
A BETTER POLICE DEPARTMENT.
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ME SAY THAT
WE CANNOT EVOLVE AND WE CANNOT
GET BETTER.
>> IS IT YOUR POLICY TO HAVE
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR OFFICERS WHO
LIE UNDER OATH AND ZERO
TOLERANCE FOR OFFICERS
WHO USE EXCESSIVE FORCE?
>> THERE IS PERJURY AND FALSE
STATEMENTS AND ZERO TOLERANCE IS
A TOUGH WORD.
PEOPLE BECOME POLICE OFFICERS TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND MAKE GOOD
AND MAKE PEOPLE SAFE.
THERE ARE MISTAKES OF THE MIND
AND THE HEART.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
TERMINATED FOR PERJURY OR FOR
FALSE STATEMENTS AND SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TO TAKE OTHER FACTORS
INTO CONSIDERATION AND THE
DISCIPLINE MIGHT BE LESS.
EXCESSIVE USE OF FORCE,
WE CHANGED THE WAY WE REPORT THE
USE OF FORCE A COUPLE OF YEARS
AGO.
EVERY TIME AN OFFICER USES FORCE
NOW, THERE ARE DIFFERENT LEVELS.
THERE IS SUPERVISORY OVERSIGHT
THERE, NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU
TELL A DESK OFFICER.
USE OF FORCE, PERJURY, FALSE
STATEMENTS -- IT'S ALL SOMETHING
THAT I TAKE SERIOUSLY.
I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY PROFESSION
AND I THINK IT'S A NOBLE
PROFESSION.
ANYBODY WHO CROSSES THE LINE --
NYPD DOES A LOT OF THINGS VERY
WELL. ONE THING WE DON'T DO
WELL IS EXPLAINING THE WAY WE
DISCIPLINE OFFICERS.
I AM IN FAVOR OF 50A BEING
TRANSFORMED --
>> THAT'S A SECTION OF CIVIL
RIGHTS LAW.
IT SAYS THE PERSONAL FILE OF
OFFICER SHOULD BE KEPT
CONFIDENTIAL AND YOU SAY YOU
WILL NOT RELEASE RECORDS OF
DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WE ARE LOOKING TO BECOME MORE
TRANSPARENT.
ANYTHING WE ARE DISCUSSING HAS
TO DO WITH TRUST AND THE PEOPLE
OF THE CITY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
TRUST THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THE
NEW YORK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT.
TO GET A BETTER LOOK AT THE
DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM IS
IMPORTANT.
THERE DOES HAVE TO BE SAFEGUARDS
IN PLACE.
POLICING IS NOT A PROFESSION
THAT'S EASY.
WE DON'T WANT TO THROW ALL THE
RECORDS OUT THERE BECAUSE THERE
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF
RETRIBUTION SO WE HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL OF WHAT WE RELEASE.
WE ARE ON THE PATH NOW --50A
HOPEFULLY THROUGH LEGISLATION
WILL BE CHANGED BUT WE ARE ON
THE PATH NOW TO TRY TO DO
SOMETHING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW
THAT DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM IS
VIBRANT, IT'S THOUGHTFUL, IT'S
FAIR, AND IT'S COMPREHENSIVE.
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS
OR MONTHS, YOU WILL SEE MORE
INFORMATION COMING OUT.
>> IF THERE IS A DEPARTMENTAL
TRIAL OF A POLICE OFFICER AND
THERE IS A FINDING OF
WRONGDOING, ALL THAT IS PUBLIC,
THE PUBLIC DOES NOT KNOW WHAT
THE ULTIMATE DISPOSITION IS?
>> IT IS BUT IT HAS TO BE
BALANCED.
BEING A POLICE OFFICER IS A
UNIQUE JOB.
MANY TIMES, IT'S WROUGHT WITH
DANGER, THERE ARE THINGS WE DO
THAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THIS CITY
DO NOT DO.
I THINK WE HAVE TO BE REAL
THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHAT
INFORMATION WE RELEASE ABOUT
POLICE OFFICER'S PERSONAL FILES.
>> TWO OF THE REMEDIES YOU OFTEN
SEEM TO IMPOSE, ONE IS
CALLED DISMISSAL PROBATION AND
THE OTHER IS COMMAND DISCIPLINE.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE ARE?
WHEN DOES CONDUCT RISE TO THE
POINT WHERE SOMEONE CAN BE
FIRED?
>> WE HAVE TERMINATED, SINCE
2014, OR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED FROM THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT PENDING TERMINATION
SINCE 2014, OVER 700 MEMBERS OF
THE DEPARTMENT.
ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS SOMETHING WE
TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY.
COMMAND DISCIPLINE IS A
LOWER-LEVEL FORM OF DISCIPLINE.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS, IF
THERE IS A MINOR INFRACTION OR
WRONGDOING, AND IT DOESN'T RISE
TO THE LEVEL OF CHARGES AND
SPECIFICATIONS THROUGH THE
DEPARTMENT ADVOCATES OFFICE,
IT IS DONE AT THE PRECINCT OR
DIVISION OR DEPARTMENT LEVEL,
THE COMMANDING OFFICERS ARE
RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT IS
FAIR AND IT'S DONE CORRECTLY AND
IT'S DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
IF YOU COMMIT AN INFRACTION OR
SOME SORT OF VIOLATION, IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT'S RESOLVED AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
>> SUPPOSE AN OFFICER RECEIVES
DISMISSAL PROBATION, THAT MEANS
HE'S NOT DISMISSED BUT THEY ARE
ON TRIAL FOR SOME PERIOD OF
TIME.
>> YES, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING
THAT COMES BY ITSELF.
IF YOU RECEIVE DISMISSAL
PROBATION, THAT MEANS WHAT YOU
DID COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOU FIRED.
AS I SAID BEFORE, THIS IS A
PROFESSION THAT PEOPLE COME INTO
TO TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
SOMETIMES, THINGS HAPPEN THAT
ARE IN OUR CONTROL OR SOMETIMES
OUT OF OUR CONTROL.
IF YOU RECEIVE A PUNISHMENT
PLUS DISMISSAL PROBATION, IT'S
EGREGIOUS.
IF I RECEIVED DISMISSAL
PROBATION, SAY, IF -- ITS GOT TO
BE A PRETTY SERIOUS VIOLATION.
I'LL GET FINED VACATION DAYS.
EITHER 10 DAYS, 20 DAYS,
30 DAYS, 40 DAYS, 50 DAYS,
THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.
THAT'S PEOPLE'S LIVELIHOOD.
ON TOP OF THAT, THEY RECEIVE
DISMISSAL PROBATION.
IF YOU COMMIT ANY OTHER
INFRACTION WHEN YOU ARE ON
DISMISSAL PROBATION, YOU CAN BE
DISMISSED FROM THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT A BRIGHTER
SUBJECT, YOUR SUCCESS IN
COUNTERTERRORISM.
PLEASE, TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> OF THE LAST FOUR YEARS SINCE
COMMISSIONER BRATTON CAME IN,
COMMISSIONER KELLY STARTED THIS
AFTER 9/11.
WE HAVE A VERY VIBRANT
COUNTERTERRORISM AND
INTELLIGENCE BUREAU.
RAY KELLY STARTED THIS AFTER
9/11.
THE VISIBLE FACE OF THAT WAS
CALLED CRV.
IT'S TRANSFORMED ITSELF INTO THE
CRITICAL RESPONSE COMMAND.
THEY USED TO BE A CAR FROM EVERY
PRECINCT WOULD BE SENT INTO
MANHATTAN ON EVERY TOUR EXCEPT
MIDNIGHTS TO HELP INCREASE
UNIFORM APPEARANCE SO PEOPLE
WOULD SEE MORE CARS OUT THERE,
MORE PEOPLE ON PATROL AND THAT'S
A DETERRENT.
WHEN THE COMMISSIONER CAME IN,
WE REENGINEERED THE ENTIRE
DEPARTMENT AND IT WAS THOUGHT
THAT A BETTER WAY TO DO THAT WAS
TO CREATE A COMMAND ON ITS OWN,
A CRITICAL RESPONSE COMMAND OF
550 POLICE OFFICER'S.
THEY ARE HIGHLY TRAINED
ANTI-TERRORISM OFFICERS AND YOU
WILL SEE THEM OUT THERE IN THEIR
FORD EXPLORERS, USUALLY ON
FOOT, WITH THE CAR NEAR BY,
IT SAYS CRC ON IT.
THEY WILL BE AT HIGH-PROFILE
LOCATIONS, HIGH VISIBILITY
LOCATIONS AND SENSITIVE
LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
I KNOW YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR
FOREIGN LIAISONS, 14 ACROSS THE
WORLD.
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS NOT JUST IN
NEW YORK CITY, WE HAVE TO PAY
ATTENTION.
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN ANOTHER
PART OF THE WORLD, WITH THAT
INFORMATION WE GET FROM OUR
FOREIGN LIAISONS, WE CAN
REDEPLOY OUR PEOPLE IN CRC WHERE
THEY NEED TO BE.
IT'S A VERY ROBUST
COUNTERTERRORISM PROGRAM.
THAT'S JUST THE UNIFORM
PRESENCE.
WE ALSO HAVE THE INVESTIGATIVE
END OF THAT TOO.
WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE FBI, THE JOINT
TERRORIST TASK FORCE WHICH IS
COMPOSED OF NYPD, THE FBI, THE
STATE POLICE AND A NUMBER OF
OTHER AGENCIES.
EACH AND EVERY THREAT THAT COMES
OVER THAT STREAM IS FULLY
INVESTIGATED BY THE JOINT
TERRORIST TASK FORCE OR BY
OUR INTELLIGENCE BUREAU.
>> TOWARD THE END OF LAST YEAR,
THERE WERE REVELATIONS ABOUT
HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND
SEXUAL-HARASSMENT AND
THAT GAVE RISE TO THE
ME TOO MOVEMENT AND THE SEEMS TO
BE AN INCREASE IN WOMEN
REPORTING SEXUAL CRIMES OF
VARIOUS KINDS AND SEXUAL
ASSAULTS.
YOU HAVE WONDERFUL STATISTICS IN
THE DROP ABOUT THE CRIME RATE
THERE WAS AN UPTICK TOWARD
THE END OF LAST YEAR IN REPORTED
RAPES AND SEX CRIMES.
IS THAT A RESULT, IN YOUR
JUDGMENT, OF THE CHANGE ARISING
OUT OF THE HARVEY WEINSTEIN
CASE?
>> WE SAW IN INCREASE IN
REPORTING AFTER THE INITIAL
HARVEY WEINSTEIN ALLEGATIONS.
THE NUMBER OF RAPES PARTICULARLY
CONTINUES TO INCREASE.
WE ARE UP IN RAPES THIS YEAR.
WE MET WITH THE ADVOCATES ON
MARCH 5 OF THIS YEAR.
WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE NEEDED
TO DO GOING FORWARD.
WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES.
WE HAVE CREATED A COLD CASE UNIT
WITHIN THE SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT
WHICH IS 14 INVESTIGATORS AND
THEIR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY IS
GOING TO BE GOING BACK OVER THE
YEARS TO LOOK AT CASES THAT HAVE
BEEN UNSOLVED, THAT ARE UNSOLVED
TO SEE IF WE CAN MOVE FORWARD.
WE HAVE ADDED ADDITIONAL 20
INVESTIGATORS INTO THE SPECIAL
VICTIMS UNIT. WE ALSO HAVE A
PUBLIC CAMPAIGN.
YOU MIGHT'VE SEEN IT ON SOCIAL
MEDIA.
IT'S ABOUT REPORTING SEXUAL
ASSAULT CRIMES.
IT'S UP TO THE SURVIVORS, IT'S
WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND HOW FAR
THEY WANT TO GO WITH THE CASE.
IT'S SOMETHING WE TAKE EVERY
REPORT VERY SERIOUSLY.
WE ARE MAKING SURE WE ARE
PROPERLY, WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE
IN THE SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT TO
HANDLE THE VOLUME OF CASES.
>> YOU SAY YOU HAVE ADDED TO THE
STAFF.
HAVE YOU ADDED BOTH MEN AND
WOMEN TO THE STAFF?
>> YEAH, SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT
COME INTO THE UNIT COME IN FROM
PATROL, SOME OF IT COMES IN FROM
OTHER INVESTIGATIVE UNITS.
IT'S A GOOD MIX OF MEN AND WOMEN
AND THAT'S IMPORTANT.
WHEN YOU ARE IN THE SPECIAL
VICTIMS UNIT, YOU RECEIVE
ADDITIONAL TRAINING TO MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THE SENSITIVITIES TO
HELP THE VICTIMS OF A SEXUAL
ASSAULT.
>> ARE THESE ALL POLICE OFFICERS
OR ARE SOME DETECTIVES?
WHAT IS THEIR RANK TYPICALLY?
>> SOME COME IN AS POLICE
OFFICERS AND IT'S A CAREER PATH.
IF THEY DO A GOOD JOB AFTER 18
MONTHS, THEY WILL GET IT
DETECTIVE SHIELD.
AND SOME COME IN AS DETECTIVES
FROM PRECINCT DETECTIVE UNITS
OR OTHER UNITS WHERE THE
PEOPLE ARE ASSIGNED.
>> AS SOON AS THEY COME IN, THEY
RECEIVE SPECIAL TRAINING?
>> YES, THEY DO.
>> HOW LONG IS THE TRAINING?
>> THE TRAINING PROGRAM IS A
COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THERE'S A
COUPLE OF PROGRAMS THEY GO
THROUGH.
IT'S IMPORTANT THEY DO THAT
BECAUSE THIS IS HELPING
SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE
DONE WITH GREAT SENSITIVITY AND
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HELP
THEM RECOVER.
>> HAVE YOU COMPLETED YOUR
REVIEW OF THE SPECIAL VICTIMS
UNIT AND BEEFING UP THAT
ENFORCEMENT EFFORT OR ARE
YOU CONTINUTING WITH WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN DOING OR ARE
YOU CONTINUING TO LOOK AT IT-
>> THIS IS AN ONGOING
ASSESSMENT.
WE HAD THE MEETING WITH THE
ADVOCATES AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF INVESTIGATION CAME OUT WITH
THEIR REPORT AND HAVE A NEW
CHIEF OF DETECTIVES.
ONE OF THE FIRST THING HE IS
GOING TO DO AS HE COMES
INTO THE DETECTIVES BUREAU
IS TAKE A TOP TO BOTTOM
LOOK AT THE SPECIAL VICTIMS
UNIT.
>> A NUMBER OF THE AREAS WHERE
THERE HAS BEEN ALLEGED EXCESSIVE
USE OF FORCE AND HAS RESULTED IN
A FATALITY INVOLVES SOMEONE WHO
APPEARED TO BE MENTALLY DERANGED
OR EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED.
ARE YOU GIVING ANY SPECIAL
TRAINING TO OFFICERS CONFRONTED
WITH THAT SITUATION?
>> WE DO, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS
OF TRAINING ALL OF OUR PATROL
FORCE IN CIT, THE CRISIS
INTERVENTION TRAINING, IT'S A
FOUR DAY TRAINING PROGRAM.
I THINK WE ARE UP TO ABOUT 7000
PEOPLE WITHIN THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
EVENTUALLY, WE'RE LOOKING TO GET
ALL POLICE OFFICERS TRAINED IN
CIT.
ESPECIALLY THE SUPERVISORS AND
THE PEOPLE ON PATROL.
>> CRISIS INTERVENTION -- THEY
ARE REALLY BEING TRAINED IN HOW
TO REVERSE A THREATENING
SITUATION WITHOUT THE USE OF
EXCESSIVE FORCE?
>> THERE IS A TACTICAL COMPONENT
BUT IT'S MORE A RECOGNITION OF
WHAT YOU MIGHT BE DEALING WITH
ON THE STREET.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT POLICE
OFFICERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO
MAKE THAT ASSESSMENT.
WE ALSO HAVE A CO-RESPONSE UNIT
TO GO OUT WITH THEIR PARTNERS
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL
HEALTH.
THEY MAKE VISITS AROUND THE
CITY.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE
VERY SERIOUSLY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KEEP
POLICE OFFICER SAFE AND KEEP THE
PEOPLE OF THE CITY SAFE.
>> YOU WERE SAILING, IT WOULD
APPEAR ON A VERY EVEN KEEL.
WHAT KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT, WHAT
WORRIES YOU?
>> I AM A BORN WORRIER.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN A GOOD SLEEPER
BUT THAT'S OK.
I AM LUCKY TO HAVE THIS JOB.
I WORK WITH GREAT PEOPLE EACH
AND EVERY DAY.
I AM PROUD OF THE WORK THEY DO
AND I LOVE BEING A NEW YORKER.
ALL 8.5 MILLION PEOPLE
APPRECIATE THE GOOD WORK THAT IS
DONE EVERY DAY BY THE POLICE
OFFICERS, 24 HOURS A DAY,
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,
365 DAYS A YEAR ARE OUT
THERE KEEPING THE CITY SAFE.
A LOT OF THINGS KEEP ME UP AT
NIGHT BUT THAT COMES WITH THE
TERRITORY.
>> EVERY OFFICER HAS TO HAVE A
BODY CAMERA BY 2019, IS THAT
RIGHT?
>> THE MONITOR HAS A PILOT
PROGRAM OF 1200 CAMERAS.
THIS IS IN 20 PRECINCTS.
WE SAW THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BODY
WORN CAMERAS AND HOW POLICE
OFFICERS ARE EMBRACING THAT
TECHNOLOGY.
WE TOOK IT UPON OURSELVES TO
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POLICE
OFFICERS ON PATROL, IN TRANSIT
AND HOUSING HAVE A BODY WORN
CAMERA BY THE END OF 2018.
>> AND YOU THINK IT'S EFFECTIVE
TO HAVE IT?
>> YES, IT DOES A LOT OF THINGS,
IT HELPS KEEP THE COP SAFE.
I THINK IT'S A DE-ESCALATOR FOR
THE PUBLIC AND FOR THE POLICE,
THERE'S SOME OBJECTIVITY.
EVERY INCIDENT THAT HAPPENS IN
NEW YORK CITY, THERE SEEMS TO BE
A VIDEOTAPE OF IT BUT WITH BODY
WORN CAMERAS, THERE'S A BETTER
CHANCE IT WILL BE FROM START TO
FINISH.
YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE INCIDENT,
NOT JUST CERTAIN SEGMENTS.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU,
COMMISSIONER O'NEILL.
DO YOU THINK THE NYPD IS GETTING
TOO MUCH OVERSIGHT, NOT ENOUGH
OVERSIGHT OR ARE YOU HAPPY WITH
WHAT YOU HAVE?
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.
I THINK THE NYPD AND THE CITY IS
IN A GOOD PLACE.
I THINK THE MORE PEOPLE ACTUALLY
SEE WHAT WE DO, HOW WE OPERATE,
MORE TRANSPARENT WE BECOME --
PEOPLE WILL HAVE MORE TRUST IN
THE NYPD.
>> COMMISSIONER O'NEILL, THANK
YOU FOR COMING BY AND THANK YOU
FOR COMING BY.
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR MORE
CONVERSATIONS.
I'M JIM ZIRIN.
TAKE CARE AND ALL THE BEST.
