WEBVTT 00:00:10.909 --> 00:00:15.687 Oh, yeah... we must build a town. 00:00:16.237 --> 00:00:21.541 That town would be for all sign language users, 00:00:21.571 --> 00:00:25.550 a fully integrated, accessible and bilingual... for all. 00:00:25.670 --> 00:00:29.785 I don't mean just for Deaf people. I mean for all people! 00:00:30.621 --> 00:00:34.276 Hard of hearing, people with cochlear implants, deaf and hearing people, 00:00:34.306 --> 00:00:36.479 it doesn't matter, all of them. 00:00:36.494 --> 00:00:39.805 Let me start with why we should build this town. 00:00:39.905 --> 00:00:43.243 I'll give you some statistics and facts. 00:00:43.615 --> 00:00:46.897 In education, for instance, 00:00:46.927 --> 00:00:50.410 according to Wikipedia, 25 % of the world population 00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:53.000 currently receives no formal education. 00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:57.128 That's 25 %, again, with no formal schooling. 00:00:58.080 --> 00:00:59.851 What about deaf people? 00:00:59.861 --> 00:01:02.471 According to the World Federation of the Deaf, 00:01:02.481 --> 00:01:07.453 a whopping 80 % receive no education in the world! 00:01:07.483 --> 00:01:13.328 Twenty-five percent against eighty percent? Wow, that's not even close! 00:01:14.503 --> 00:01:17.828 Secondly, in employment ... 00:01:18.198 --> 00:01:23.988 Before the Americans with Disabilities Act passed, 00:01:24.008 --> 00:01:28.220 according to Andrew Houtenville's research, 00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:33.109 about 63% of disabled people were unemployed. 00:01:33.690 --> 00:01:36.647 So, when ADA passed, we all were excited. 00:01:36.667 --> 00:01:40.641 Several years later, the number increased to 65% of unemployed. 00:01:40.671 --> 00:01:44.287 Not that I agree that Deaf people should be categorized under disability. 00:01:44.307 --> 00:01:46.840 No, but that's how they do it. That's okay for now. 00:01:47.015 --> 00:01:50.919 In Federal government, there's data on disabled people who are employed there. 00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:54.628 Office of Personnel and Management actually tracks this kind of thing. 00:01:54.636 --> 00:01:59.777 Statistics are broken down by disability such as mobility impaired, amputees, 00:01:59.797 --> 00:02:05.686 blind, low vision, mental health issues, mental retardation, deaf, hard of hearing. 00:02:05.702 --> 00:02:09.189 Numbers were broken down into pay grade levels from GS-1 to GS-15, 00:02:09.229 --> 00:02:13.479 levels determined by pay and responsibility scale. 00:02:13.499 --> 00:02:17.688 Higher GS levels, means more management responsibility. 00:02:17.758 --> 00:02:21.839 From GS-1 to GS-7, deaf people were much in line with other types of disabilities. 00:02:21.859 --> 00:02:25.914 However from GS-8 to GS-15, 00:02:25.934 --> 00:02:32.623 deaf people drop in numbers, just above people with mental retardation. 00:02:35.778 --> 00:02:39.376 So, now... not only that. 00:02:39.416 --> 00:02:42.372 This is America. 00:02:43.222 --> 00:02:48.231 There's over 510,000 elected officials according to Favp.org. 00:02:48.271 --> 00:02:52.770 Again, over 510,000. 00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:57.175 These elected officials are at federal, state, city, and county levels. 00:02:57.205 --> 00:03:00.937 We're not including appointed positions, just elected ones. 00:03:01.007 --> 00:03:04.383 Again, all in all, there's 510,000 elected officials. 00:03:04.473 --> 00:03:08.483 How many people live in America today? We have 307 million Americans. 00:03:08.536 --> 00:03:13.571 If you divide these two numbers, you get something like 0.0000168 or so. 00:03:13.615 --> 00:03:16.565 So, we take that number. 00:03:16.855 --> 00:03:20.955 Now, there's no hard data on how many deaf people use American Sign Language daily. 00:03:20.975 --> 00:03:23.429 There's no hard data out there. 00:03:23.449 --> 00:03:26.980 My educated estimate is about 400,000 deaf people 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.513 who use sign language daily. 00:03:29.695 --> 00:03:35.591 So, 400,000 multiplied with that ratio makes 665 elected officials 00:03:35.630 --> 00:03:38.343 who should be our own people using sign language daily. 00:03:38.373 --> 00:03:41.617 So, how many do we actually have today? 00:03:41.647 --> 00:03:45.525 Zero. Yes, seriously, zero! 00:03:46.644 --> 00:03:51.794 My dear friend is in the process of adopting a foster deaf child. 00:03:51.814 --> 00:03:53.927 Wow, I was thrilled. 00:03:53.957 --> 00:03:57.379 He was telling me something incredible. 00:03:57.390 --> 00:04:01.612 He has two boys, children of deaf adults. 00:04:01.782 --> 00:04:05.863 While they were starting out with foster care system, 00:04:05.883 --> 00:04:08.900 the people at the foster care system were grateful. 00:04:08.910 --> 00:04:13.870 They told my friend that deaf kids were absolutely the last to be adopted. 00:04:13.917 --> 00:04:15.775 The last ones! 00:04:15.795 --> 00:04:21.685 Even before other kids who require greater physical care and daily attention! 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:27.131 They would be adopted first before the deaf kids. 00:04:30.031 --> 00:04:33.310 So, all these statistics are giving us a hint. 00:04:33.340 --> 00:04:35.194 So now, we look around. Think about it. 00:04:35.224 --> 00:04:38.704 Do we even own residential deaf schools? 00:04:38.924 --> 00:04:41.745 Do we own them, run them, make decisions there? 00:04:41.775 --> 00:04:45.287 Does "our" schools even reflect our community and values? 00:04:46.112 --> 00:04:48.917 No. The state owns them. 00:04:51.126 --> 00:04:53.348 Now, look. 00:04:53.368 --> 00:04:57.364 Back to the fact we should have 665 deaf elected officials. 00:04:57.384 --> 00:05:00.412 Let me emphasize that this is America. 00:05:00.442 --> 00:05:06.361 Think about what makes America so special, and in the History, why America was born. 00:05:06.882 --> 00:05:09.361 People came here looking for religious freedom. Yes. 00:05:09.421 --> 00:05:13.333 This country was a huge experiment in liberty and self-governance. 00:05:13.363 --> 00:05:17.865 That was the very foundation of this country. 00:05:18.535 --> 00:05:20.831 That's the American Dream. 00:05:20.900 --> 00:05:24.932 In Europe, there were many detractors sneering at the idea 00:05:24.952 --> 00:05:28.574 that common people could self-govern! 00:05:28.828 --> 00:05:31.880 "No way, that's impossible," they said. 00:05:31.970 --> 00:05:36.703 Why? The royalty for ages had money and resources 00:05:36.723 --> 00:05:42.123 to train and educate their children to govern and rule over the common folk. 00:05:42.286 --> 00:05:48.135 They couldn't imagine educating millions to self-govern themselves. No way! 00:05:48.632 --> 00:05:53.501 We all know what happened, America succeeded in a big way, 00:05:53.541 --> 00:05:57.300 all this based on the very idea we can govern ourselves. 00:05:57.672 --> 00:05:59.928 So, okay. 00:05:59.948 --> 00:06:05.108 The fact we have zero deaf officials, that's taxation without representation! 00:06:06.017 --> 00:06:09.780 Pretty smart of us to keep on paying taxes, eh? 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.033 Well, I do the same thing anyway! 00:06:14.113 --> 00:06:18.333 So with all that in mind, wow! 00:06:18.402 --> 00:06:21.132 Not to mention that the other key to the American Dream 00:06:21.162 --> 00:06:25.610 and how to make it work requires having values 00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:29.602 in free, appropriate public education for all. 00:06:29.681 --> 00:06:31.572 The reason why that is so important 00:06:31.592 --> 00:06:34.535 is so all can learn how to be a public servant. 00:06:34.953 --> 00:06:37.253 The Founding Fathers felt being a public servant 00:06:37.273 --> 00:06:38.903 was the noblest thing to do. 00:06:38.933 --> 00:06:42.496 The role of public servant is so important. 00:06:42.966 --> 00:06:47.340 And the deaf people get left behind. 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.777 Truly, our way of life is dying. 00:06:52.107 --> 00:06:54.437 All over, deaf clubs are weakening and closing. 00:06:54.457 --> 00:06:57.307 Once proud, deaf residential schools are closing 00:06:57.333 --> 00:07:01.490 leaving us with probably only five great deaf schools. 00:07:01.852 --> 00:07:08.290 Even with that, there are still challenges and worry with our schools today. 00:07:10.631 --> 00:07:14.383 So, what do we do? 00:07:16.527 --> 00:07:22.210 With these facts of decline and despite advances in technology, 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.961 we are becoming more disconnected. 00:07:26.341 --> 00:07:28.749 See, like this great, awesome crowd of people here. 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.974 I wish I could see you, bump into you all daily, 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.828 chat, laugh together and more. I really wish for that. 00:07:34.838 --> 00:07:36.562 But, t's not happening. 00:07:36.592 --> 00:07:40.198 When we meet together like this, we talk like mad and savor each moment. 00:07:40.219 --> 00:07:43.262 That's such a huge boost. 00:07:44.002 --> 00:07:50.791 Let me illustrate what a healthy community and its social fabric would look like. 00:07:53.307 --> 00:07:56.165 That's a healthy web. 00:07:56.195 --> 00:08:00.264 That's what a strong, healthy community looks like. 00:08:00.674 --> 00:08:04.697 Every point and line that cross each other, that's each one of you. 00:08:05.249 --> 00:08:11.147 We are all connected, woven into each other into one beautiful web. 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:17.315 Unfortunately in America, even hearing people are also struggling. 00:08:17.872 --> 00:08:20.317 Why? Suburban sprawl. 00:08:20.344 --> 00:08:22.304 This country is designed for automobiles. 00:08:22.324 --> 00:08:24.534 As a result, people live further apart. 00:08:24.638 --> 00:08:27.215 Many hearing Americans are also struggling, 00:08:27.235 --> 00:08:29.709 lonely in the suburbs, disconnected. 00:08:29.749 --> 00:08:33.447 People in Europe have a far better social fabric. 00:08:33.477 --> 00:08:37.370 Their night life is incredibly rich with all that eating and drinking together. 00:08:37.465 --> 00:08:40.129 They can walk almost everywhere. 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.000 So their social fabric is stronger than ours. 00:08:43.196 --> 00:08:45.921 It's ironic that hearing people are becoming more like us, 00:08:45.941 --> 00:08:47.845 the deaf community, separate. 00:08:47.875 --> 00:08:49.577 But we're more spread out! 00:08:49.597 --> 00:08:52.419 Yes, the community is strong in some areas. 00:08:52.439 --> 00:08:55.501 We've a social network all over the country. 00:08:55.531 --> 00:08:57.215 We know many of our own people. 00:08:57.235 --> 00:09:00.837 Now, let me illustrate how our deaf community looks like here. 00:09:01.670 --> 00:09:03.450 That's us. 00:09:06.116 --> 00:09:09.740 That's us, incredibly strong in some areas. 00:09:09.770 --> 00:09:12.431 In the middle, 00:09:12.461 --> 00:09:15.553 but so sparsely connected elsewhere. 00:09:15.583 --> 00:09:19.633 Actually, that's a picture of a spider on caffeine. 00:09:19.653 --> 00:09:22.202 Is any of you drinking coffee? 00:09:22.216 --> 00:09:24.896 You can see the effect on the web itself. 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.398 So, now, look at that. 00:09:29.138 --> 00:09:34.469 Imagine... Would that web catch insects easily? 00:09:34.841 --> 00:09:37.115 No, insects would often just fly right through! 00:09:37.145 --> 00:09:40.586 And if something big came, these lines would just break! 00:09:40.711 --> 00:09:42.110 Yet, that's us! 00:09:42.150 --> 00:09:44.708 We're so dependent on very few leaders and people, 00:09:44.718 --> 00:09:47.472 all spread out, with no political voice. 00:09:47.832 --> 00:09:51.172 We're barely holding together and worse, we punish each other harshly. 00:09:51.187 --> 00:09:54.144 yelling at each other for being apathetic, saying things like, 00:09:54.164 --> 00:09:56.396 "We just don't do enough! Come on!" 00:09:56.415 --> 00:09:59.671 All that yelling at each other ... Huh! 00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:03.156 We are just not physically connected that way! 00:10:03.186 --> 00:10:06.216 Sure, internet use is skyrocketing, Facebook, Twitter. 00:10:06.256 --> 00:10:09.933 These can never replace our physical connection to each other! 00:10:09.953 --> 00:10:11.124 Never! 00:10:11.124 --> 00:10:15.360 They can enhance, add to our social fabric, help strengthen it. 00:10:15.383 --> 00:10:19.410 But these services can't exist without the physical connection we've with each other. 00:10:19.430 --> 00:10:23.318 I want to tell you a story about my 11- year-old daughter, Stefania. 00:10:24.474 --> 00:10:28.793 We moved to Indiana from South Dakota, from a small town to a big city. 00:10:28.802 --> 00:10:30.149 We lived in apartment. 00:10:30.169 --> 00:10:34.182 One night, after being there for a while, we sat down together. 00:10:34.202 --> 00:10:36.581 She said, "Dad, when I grow up, 00:10:36.601 --> 00:10:39.629 I want to move back to Salem, South Dakota." 00:10:39.669 --> 00:10:42.574 That was the small town we lived in. 00:10:42.714 --> 00:10:44.221 I was like, "What? Why? 00:10:44.241 --> 00:10:47.286 That town has only 1,300 people and it's not quite beautiful" - 00:10:47.316 --> 00:10:49.852 no offense to all people and friends in Salem! 00:10:49.862 --> 00:10:52.620 I love them, I really do! The town is just not picturesque. 00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:55.708 So I asked her "Why?" 00:10:56.290 --> 00:11:00.118 She simply said, "I was free there." 00:11:00.138 --> 00:11:03.150 "I could ride my bike, go to store, get bread and milk for you. 00:11:03.170 --> 00:11:07.633 I could go to the town' swimming pool and over to my friend's home myself. 00:11:07.647 --> 00:11:11.356 Here, whenever I want to visit my friends, I've to beg you to drive me there." 00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:12.868 Wow. 00:11:15.704 --> 00:11:18.970 She was talking about a town I thought was not so special. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.033 And she never forgot that. 00:11:21.103 --> 00:11:23.927 So, when you all become older, what are you going to do? 00:11:23.957 --> 00:11:27.584 When you can no longer drive, what then? 00:11:28.130 --> 00:11:30.512 Sure, there're two deaf nursing homes in the U.S., 00:11:30.512 --> 00:11:34.126 retirement communities here and there. I've seen most of them. 00:11:34.144 --> 00:11:39.175 Almost all, if not all... Isolated, disconnected from the cities. 00:11:39.195 --> 00:11:42.109 You can't walk to these places from anywhere. 00:11:42.129 --> 00:11:45.689 These centers are separate, like islands. 00:11:45.719 --> 00:11:51.730 So, life quickly passes them by, and they are there, marking time. 00:11:52.534 --> 00:11:55.218 Residents often have to beg for visits. 00:11:55.252 --> 00:11:58.632 "Please, I'm lonely. Can you visit me more?" 00:11:59.236 --> 00:12:02.000 We all become so busy with life, we forget. 00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:06.109 That realization had a profound impact on me. 00:12:06.129 --> 00:12:08.786 No way. That can't happen to me. 00:12:08.806 --> 00:12:13.472 But, we have to ask ourselves, "Are we worth it?" 00:12:14.744 --> 00:12:18.704 Really, are we? Are we worth saving? 00:12:19.624 --> 00:12:23.723 There's a long list of problems in our Deaf community. 00:12:24.068 --> 00:12:27.801 So, why don't we just give up? Just exit the world stage? 00:12:30.190 --> 00:12:32.724 No. We are worth it! 00:12:32.746 --> 00:12:35.288 Why? We have a lot to offer to the world. 00:12:35.308 --> 00:12:37.428 And we all know it! 00:12:37.448 --> 00:12:39.210 We know it! 00:12:41.428 --> 00:12:46.640 If we are truly worth it, then, we just have to do something. 00:12:48.357 --> 00:12:50.499 Malcolm X once said, 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:55.871 "To achieve social equality, we must achieve economic empowerment first." 00:12:56.545 --> 00:13:01.203 First, invest, create wealth, support each other, build on each other, 00:13:01.227 --> 00:13:03.100 and grow from there. 00:13:03.127 --> 00:13:05.235 Let me illustrate this with a story, a pond. 00:13:05.275 --> 00:13:08.639 Now, you have this home on lake front, a huge lake. 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.748 You have it near wherever you live. A really big lake! 00:13:13.163 --> 00:13:17.264 You extend a garden hose from the house into the lake. 00:13:17.294 --> 00:13:21.873 You extent the hose to the big lake and turn on the water. 00:13:21.906 --> 00:13:23.803 The flow starts. 00:13:27.343 --> 00:13:31.363 How long will take for the water level in the lake to rise noticeably? 00:13:32.543 --> 00:13:34.233 I'm telling you. Never! 00:13:34.273 --> 00:13:37.234 So, take the flowing hose. 00:13:38.083 --> 00:13:41.692 Well, dig a hole and put the hose there. 00:13:41.722 --> 00:13:43.305 Bam! You see the water rise. 00:13:43.325 --> 00:13:46.701 Wow! Let's bring in a backhoe and expand our pond. 00:13:46.721 --> 00:13:49.841 Now, that one hose represents one of you. 00:13:49.848 --> 00:13:52.319 The money you spend every single day 00:13:52.339 --> 00:13:55.803 flow into the world that doesn't even notice you. 00:13:56.673 --> 00:13:58.318 Enough! Take that hose, 00:13:58.338 --> 00:14:02.905 and bring each one of us together, water flowing into the newly formed pond. 00:14:02.925 --> 00:14:07.569 Whoa, now we can add a diving board here, and even add sandy beach and trees! 00:14:07.587 --> 00:14:10.372 We can make this pond into whatever we want, 00:14:10.392 --> 00:14:13.203 according to our vision and dreams. 00:14:14.271 --> 00:14:17.685 We must start here with a small pond. 00:14:17.697 --> 00:14:21.000 Some of you may cringe and say, "This pond is too small and muddy. 00:14:21.020 --> 00:14:24.862 Ugh, I'd rather be at the huge beautiful lake over there that has everything 00:14:24.867 --> 00:14:26.549 just like a big city." 00:14:26.649 --> 00:14:30.146 That's fine. I can understand that. But we have to start somewhere! 00:14:31.226 --> 00:14:33.731 So you want all that nice living in a big city? 00:14:33.771 --> 00:14:35.080 You know what? 00:14:35.100 --> 00:14:38.464 New York City started as this cute, tiny port town! 00:14:38.614 --> 00:14:41.495 Today, it's home to millions and huge glittering skyscrapers, 00:14:41.515 --> 00:14:42.875 center of everything. 00:14:42.895 --> 00:14:49.373 We just have to start somewhere and build this bilingual signing town. 00:14:49.755 --> 00:14:51.900 That's how we will see ourselves 00:14:51.930 --> 00:14:57.100 change from a weak broken web to a strong beautiful web. 00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:04.234 You see that? By being physically together in a small town. 00:15:04.255 --> 00:15:08.303 Not just for Deaf people! No. Hearing people, interpreters, and more! 00:15:08.330 --> 00:15:12.103 We would gain incentives to connect! 00:15:12.256 --> 00:15:14.600 Let me give you an example, someone learning ASL. 00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:16.912 (Awkwardly) "Hi. My. Name. Is..." 00:15:18.192 --> 00:15:21.599 Oh, many of us just don't have the patience for that. 00:15:21.689 --> 00:15:24.289 When we see one of those, most just run away. 00:15:24.339 --> 00:15:28.129 It's true - just admit that - and it's perfectly understandable. 00:15:28.285 --> 00:15:31.980 Now, in this town, you own a business, let's say a hairstylist salon. 00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.777 You're motivated to see your business grow, right? 00:15:34.805 --> 00:15:36.748 When that person learning ASL comes in. 00:15:36.811 --> 00:15:40.181 (Awkwardly) "Hi! I. Need. Haircut." 00:15:40.574 --> 00:15:42.654 What are you going to do? Send them away? 00:15:42.669 --> 00:15:45.765 Or are you going to welcome them with open arms into your store? 00:15:45.775 --> 00:15:49.966 Why? Their money is as green as the rest of them. 00:15:50.071 --> 00:15:53.722 That's an incentive! Just one small example of incentive. 00:15:54.898 --> 00:15:57.700 For instance, if someone starts a franchise like McDonald's 00:15:57.730 --> 00:16:01.560 in this ASL town where we do not drown in a sea of spoken English, and feel safe, 00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:04.726 he will create new opportunities. 00:16:04.746 --> 00:16:07.160 This would have a huge impact on McDonald's system. 00:16:07.190 --> 00:16:11.274 Why? The franchisee would have to work with McDonald's and go through training. 00:16:11.294 --> 00:16:14.939 They will learn all about interpreters, providing access and working with us. 00:16:14.949 --> 00:16:17.288 They'd be learning something valuable from us. 00:16:17.318 --> 00:16:20.906 This would promote greater interaction between us and the rest of the world. 00:16:20.906 --> 00:16:23.273 "Oh, Deaf people can do this!" 00:16:23.303 --> 00:16:25.393 And you know what? 00:16:25.413 --> 00:16:28.798 They'd ask the franchisee if they could recommend more deaf and signers. 00:16:28.838 --> 00:16:31.970 Oh, yes, they will. That's just one example. 00:16:33.761 --> 00:16:36.351 Seriously, just imagine yourself living in that town 00:16:36.371 --> 00:16:39.760 where you won't be pigeonholed into limited roles we have today 00:16:39.790 --> 00:16:44.529 such as teachers, counselors, etc. No! 00:16:44.549 --> 00:16:46.480 You can be and do anything you want. 00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.940 A deaf person came to our ASL town booth one day. 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:54.351 A survey asked people what they wanted to do if they lived in this town. 00:16:54.420 --> 00:16:57.100 They were like, "Um ... Of course, I'm a school teacher" 00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.720 as if this was a dumb question. 00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:00.800 I asked if teaching was their real passion. 00:17:00.820 --> 00:17:06.130 "What do you mean? Uh..." A light bulb went on. 00:17:06.148 --> 00:17:09.069 "Can I start a kennel?" 00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:11.080 "Sure! Why not? 00:17:11.120 --> 00:17:13.080 "Oh, wow." 00:17:14.550 --> 00:17:16.589 That was an important eureka moment. 00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:21.680 You can pursue your passion, without having to settle. 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.430 All these new businesses create new connections forging a stronger bond. 00:17:25.450 --> 00:17:30.510 Imagine our own local school run by our own people. 00:17:30.520 --> 00:17:32.880 Would that school be just for deaf people? No! 00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:36.310 It'd be a bilingual immersion program in American Sign Language for all! 00:17:36.330 --> 00:17:39.504 Hearing and deaf kids all together! 00:17:39.507 --> 00:17:43.945 Kids would be expressing themselves with ASL and English so fluently! 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.150 Our kids and grand kids will grow up in a different world, a much better one. 00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:51.640 Our posterity will build something even bigger and more incredible, 00:17:51.650 --> 00:17:53.619 something we can't even imagine. 00:17:53.639 --> 00:17:56.180 I promise you that. 00:17:56.220 --> 00:17:59.250 So, will you join me? 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.705 Will you help me build that town and grow it into something amazing? 00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:07.520 With that success, we'll see new projects like this spring up across the world! 00:18:07.540 --> 00:18:09.672 Thank you.
