What's up guys and welcome to trendy updates up our SPM verse. Now onto the trending news today is Mubiti singer DJ Fatso who has called out Ghetto Radio for allegedly lying about a failed interview. Now yesterday DJ Fatso was scheduled to attend an interview at the local radio station Ghetto Radio but unfortunately that interview did not happen. Now a press release was released by Ghetto Radio citing the thought the cancellation of DJ Fatso's interview on Ghetto Radio was due to uproar from fans and of course Sakai Sakusema they felt it was in bad taste at worst. You know Lawrence Jukona aka DJ Fatso. Now DJ Fatso comes out to call out Ghetto Radio in a press release as well and he says I was just late there was no any social media uproar and he says Ghetto Radio lied about canceling the interview. DJ Fatso was supposed to be hosted on Ghetto Radio breakfast show that is hosted by the legendary musician Majumaji and DJ Kata that interview was cancelled last minute and the special cited the fans were not comfortable listening to DJ Fatso and they said that as an organization they value their customers and their listeners come fast and that is why they sent out that statement. Well now those claims is something DJ Fatso has ravished and said that he was just late for the interview due to traffic and the news of the interview wasn't challenged by Ghetto Radio listeners as alleged and he finished on that press release saying that we therefore find the insinuation of that letter by Ghetto Radio unwarranted and ill thought it is bestateful misleading and plainly just unfortunate. So of course he went ahead to urge Ghetto Radio that it is essential to provide accurate information that is conveyed to the public he says it is the cardinal duty for the media to inform and not disinform.

To celebrate the release of the new AmpleSound woodwind instrument, the Dongxiao, I have a fantastic giveaway for you, where the winners can pick any instrument from the AmpleSound product range. Let's get stuck in. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. As I mentioned in the intro, AmpleSound have just released a new Chinese woodwind instrument called the Dongxiao. It's absolutely wonderful and to celebrate, I have three full licenses to give away for any AmpleSound product. So it doesn't have to be this instrument. It could be any AmpleSound product of your choice if you happen to be one of the three lucky winners. I'll be talking at the end of this video about how you enter for that. Don't skip forward. That's not nice. First of all, let's take a look at this new woodwind instrument. I've put together a quick demo with this instrument and a handful of other AmpleSound instruments as well so you can get a bit of a taste of what can be done with it. Only took me a couple of hours to make it really, really sort of scrappy, quick to put together, but it will give you a good idea of what it's capable of. Then after that, we'll take a look at this instrument in a little bit more detail. And as I say, stick around to the end of the video because then I'm going to tell you how to enter for one of these great prizes. So the Xiao is a type of Chinese woodwind instrument of which there are a few different kinds. The one in this library is called the Dongxiao. Now I'm going to try my best not to pronounce it anymore because I think I'm making a bit of a mess of it. And if you do speak Mandarin, I'm sorry about that. Now this is the second Chinese woodwind instrument that I've reviewed from AmpleSound with the first one being the QD. You can see a link for that review up above here. And they differ slightly in the way they operate compared to most other AmpleSound libraries, which are mostly stringed instruments. Now they differ in the way that you use the key switches. Now, if you don't know, key switches are special keys on your piano keyboard, which are reserved for changing the sound of the instrument rather than actually playing a note. And as I say, these are these are used slightly differently with this woodwind engine than with the guitars, etc. With the AmpleSound range. But before we get into that, let's just have a quick listen to the basic sound, the sustain sound. OK, it sounds like this. Just love that breathy sound. I reckon if you didn't use any articulations, you can get a lot out of that basic sustain sound. But of course, we do want to add some different expressions at time at different times and then be sort of authentic to the sound of the instrument and the different sounds that the players get out of it. Now, the first difference in sound that we can get is just by playing the note really, really hard. This invokes the impulse articulation. Now, if you're listening to this reasonably loud, protect your ears at the moment because it gets a lot louder. The normal sound, as I say, sounds like this. And if we play hard, we get that really aggressive attack to the note. It can be very, very useful at times. Now, in terms of other articulations, if we look on the UI here, we can see at the lower end of the keyboard, we have another number of notes which are colored either in blue or in yellow. We look at the blue ones first. These are the regular key switches, which we get with most other instruments. And normally we sort of use them by playing them at the same time as a note in our melody. So I was using that pentatonic up key switch down there, right down there on that D. Now, in actual fact, technically, you have to play that note ever so slightly before, sorry, the articulation has to be played ever so slightly before the note. OK, if we play the note first and then press the articulation key, there's obviously no change to the sound at all. So we have to make sure we play that first to get that pentatonic up in this case. OK, now, in terms of other articulations in that lower end, we'll just go through a few of them, not all of them. We have our sustained sound, we have grace up, grace down. That pentatonic up, pentatonic down. His ripple sound, long trembling. That impulse again there, scattered up and a few more there. So as I say, the important thing here is that we do make sure that we play the key switch just before we play the note. Now, it gets really interesting with the other keys, with the yellow keys, because with those, we don't actually actually have to play them before the note. We can play them during the note. So if we're playing a long note, we can change the sound of it while we're playing it. OK, this gives some really interesting sort of articulations and opportunities for expression. So so you can see that I just did two or three there. While I was playing one of those really long notes, I was playing with some different articulations and it was changing the sound of that note. So these are really, really useful for especially when you are playing those sustained notes and you just want to create some expression in there. I absolutely love those. That's a very basic overview of those key switches. We also have some sort of special effects and things up here on the on the green keys. Some I think they call these riffs up here. Really cool stuff there. So we get those basic sort of the mix of the sustained notes and then all of the key switches. Then we have the usual sort of fare that we get with ample sound, lots of different options in terms of the mix and the way it sounds. We also have an extra with this woodwind engine where we can change the key. This affects the way some of those key switches actually work with sort of slides and runs and things like that. Then we also have a mixer so that we can blend the sound of sort of the breaths and the wind special effects. That kind of thing. So that's kind of regular thing that we'll get with ample sound. In addition to that, if we move or click on this tab up here, then we also get the usual effects that we get with ample sound. So we do have a built-in compressor here. We also have an equalizer here. We then have this one, which is the echo effect or a delay effect, which is on at the moment. You can just about hear that there. And then also a reverb with different sizes, few different controls there. That's regular for the ample sound instruments. So that is the basic instrument, but you could really get a lot out of this. And as I say, especially if you're writing sort of soundtrack music, that kind of thing. So how do you go about entering for this giveaway? Well, one of the things you don't have to do is like this video. But if you do, it'll give me a nice warm glow inside and it'll cost you absolutely nothing. Another thing you don't have to do is subscribe to this channel.

Live from Anaheim, California, it's theCUBE, covering Nutanix.NEXT 2019, brought to you by Nutanix. Welcome back everyone to theCUBE's live coverage of Nutanix.NEXT here in Anaheim, California. I'm your host, Rebecca Knight, along with my co-host, John Furrier. We have two guests for this segment. We have PJ Farmer. She is the Director Cloud Product Management at Tier Point. Thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. Thank you, I'm very excited. And we have David Hines, VP, Architecture and Engineering at Tier Point. Thanks, David. Yes, thank you. So for our viewers that may be unfamiliar with Tier Point, can you tell us all about this St. Louis based company, what you do and give us an introduction? Oh, absolutely. So Tier Point is a managed services, data services and co-location provider. We have a broad footprint. We have over 40 data centers in the United States. And we have a broad portfolio of services we offer because we're really interested in meeting customers in their digital transformation, excuse me. So everything from colo to cloud and beyond, we offer because customers come to us for a consultative approach. They have a problem, they need solutions and we can offer them those solutions, right? So we manage all of that. So you're helping them with their digital transformations and everything? Absolutely, yeah. And where does Nutanix come into play here? So Nutanix is a part of that cloud services, really that we're offering our customers, but also giving them a dedicated environment, really that they can manage their workloads, but also have some more control, security, compliance. So that overall, the customers end up with a solution that helps them drive their business forward. And of course, Tier Point, our goal is to make sure that we're taking care of all that underlying infrastructure and systems and components. So again, the customer can focus on driving their business forward and taking that burden off of IT. And Nutanix is a great platform that really helps enable us and enable our customers at the end of the day. How about the technical challenges you guys had with before Nutanix, after Nutanix? What changed? What was the journey like? How did the door open up for them? Yeah, that's a great question. So I think overall, we as technologists work very hard to piece together solutions, varied solutions to provide a platform for our customers that they can consume. But that is challenging, right? You know, as a company, technology changes quickly. There are a lot of different vendors in the marketplace offering a lot of different technologies. And I think one of the things that we really see as a huge value for Nutanix is they've got a very complete platform across the spectrum. It's not just a box with compute and storage. It is so much more than that. And so for us, that's very exciting. It's very intriguing. And something that really helps us be efficient and also our customers be efficient. So digital transformation is something that we're talking about so much on theCUBE in general here at this show. What are you hearing from customers? And what are sort of their bugaboos and their pain points? So we recently had a customer who their hypervisor of choice is something they're super familiar with, right? They have a great amount of comfort. But over time they can see there could be some cost savings in Nutanix with going with the Acropolis hypervisor that's included. So our customer came to us and said, hey, can you help us with this? He said, absolutely. So they are in our data center, we're taking care of them, we're consulting through their transformation. And they're starting out with what they're comfortable with and as time changes and as they mature and transition we're going to help them get there, right? We're going to help them change if it's a hypervisor, if it's a different service, if it's a different way to set it up and present it out to their innovative IT developers, right? We're going to help them do that. Talk about, can you guys share your insight into how you're operating the business? I mean, obviously you've got customers, a lot of customers. What's it like operating this? Because you've got developers out there who want applications to be supported. I'm sure you've got latency challenges around moving to the cloud, a lot of multi-cloud conversations. People still got to store stuff in their data centers or colos. So the edge of the network change, all these things are evolving. What's going on inside your company in terms of how you operate? Great question. So it is challenging to keep up with that landscape as it evolves, but we are investing heavily in that. So the great thing about Tier Point is we are in these edge markets. That is one of our real value ads. And so we're investing very heavily in our network. We also have some really strong partnerships with carriers that give us that on ramp into the hyper scale. So it really helps complete that multi-cloud story that customers need. So yeah, they can come to us, co-locate that equipment that they really have to hold on to, mainframes, mid-range servers, other legacy systems, while gaining that connectivity to those hyper scale environments. And then there's the middle. The middle where we provide a layer like Nutanix that gives them that enterprise type cloud. But again, it's dedicated to them. It's in our data center. It's local to their other systems, while also getting that reach to the hyper scale. So it's a really, really powerful story for us. On the hypervisor challenge question, this is interesting when people saying, you know, I got Hyper-V, I got VMware, I want to just use Nutanix, got their own hypervisor. The AVH has been an interesting product for Nutanix. The full stack is compelling for a lot of customers. But you guys have probably a lot of customers who want to roll their own or have to bring their own hypervisor. How do you deal with that? Does that fit into the value proposition? Well, I think there is some talk about the hypervisor maybe being irrelevant. Like it's obsolete. It's not something to be concerned about. And I think Dave said it earlier, best today, he said that. You're being nice when you say that by the way. A lot of people are saying that. Well, a lot of, yeah, a lot of people are saying that. I just think it's less of a focus, right? Because, and Tier Point helps people focus on what is innovative, what is your business outcome? What are you really doing for your business? So I feel like the hypervisor is just less of a focus, right? Then it is necessarily not important. It's more commodity now. Yeah. And we don't want customers to have to focus on that, right? Because again, IT really needs to drive business, not be a drag on business. And so the less that they have to focus as an IT organization on the maintenance and management of infrastructure and even up the stack towards operating systems where we can take that burden off of them, then again, they can be a leader for their business and driving the business as a whole, not be held back. Okay, what's the playbook for doing that? Not being a drag on the business? Because that's what it wants to do. But they might have legacy stuff. What's the playbook? The playbook is really being a part of that business discussion. And when the business itself is making decisions about how to drive forward, IT has that seat at the table. And again, is thinking about how can we drive savings or cost cutting? How can we enable transactions? How can we enable the customer base? And not thinking about, oh, do I have my storage system updated? Am I dealing with old boxes that I have to replace? And do I have power and cooling problems in a data center? They don't need to be dealing with that. They need to be up front with the business, making business decisions. What you're talking about really represents a complete shift in the role of the technologist. Do they have the skills to be thinking about? They obviously can think about more than just the maintenance and do I have the storage and things like that. But does there need to be much more education around these sort of business strategy questions that they should be thinking about? As you said, this is their role to really help the business transform. So I think that oftentimes IT people feel like they're just technology. I'm just hands on keyboard, I'm doing this. But what their exposure and their natural interest lead them to have a broad picture of how things can work, what is expected, how do these things operate? What have I had experience with? And when they have a seat at the table and they're making it with the business decisions, they have value to add there. That value is in that perspective, what they've seen, because that may not be forefront for some of the other business leaders at the table, right? And it is a collaborative discussion. I mean that generates quality output, that generates innovation, that generates thinking outside of the box, and unique solutions that really lead the market. But I do think it really does, to your point, mean new education, new skills for these IT technologists. And so that's part of, we've gone through this at Tier Point, transforming the engineers and the technologists that we have working on our staff and really teaching them new ways to work, new ways to think, new ways to collaborate so that they're helping us move the business forward, and not sitting behind the keyboard isolated from the business itself. I was going to ask you about the skill gap, because one of the things that comes up as the shift that DevOps is happening with more development going on to make the infrastructure programmable, so it's not a drag on the business. Changing roles are a huge thing, because new techniques essentially, the values they enable, new things to happen, the result is consolidation. So it's not consolidation as the primary. You get consolidation as a benefit of what they do, so people will be like, whoa, what do I do now? So, but the benefit is people shift. So the IT ops role has changed, is what was trying to get it before, the operations. What do you guys see that trend evolving? Because if this continues with AI and automation, you can almost imagine it's completely programmable infrastructure. Well, you do see a consolidation of siloed technologists, right? So this idea of I'm only a network engineer, I'm only a storage engineer, I'm only a cloud engineer, that is definitely going away. And again, we've done this at Tier Point, we've kind of mixed those roles, right? Educate the staff, but from an additional education programmability, somebody to be able to do the automation and the development in an engineering role versus having a separate development team working on that, it's going to be really important as companies evolve, they're grouped. I think you've had a lot of infrastructure engineers that 20 years ago, 15 years ago, knew Perl, they knew scripting, they knew these things, and as time has gone on, now they know APIs, now they know RESTful APIs, now they're interacting. But we all know in IT, it's always change and it's always learning. I mean, you got into this, right? So I think a lot of the infrastructure engineers over time are finding they were already automating things in some ways and they're becoming more mature in the ways that they automate things, right? I think it's a great transition as they go on, yeah. So talk about the relationship with Nutanix. How, what's it like partnering with them? They've got a lot of momentum in enabling a partner strategy. We saw news with Uwepec, our enterprise, potential channel opportunity there. They're a partner-centric, they're partner-friendly. What's it like working with them? They're fantastic, I mean, absolutely fantastic. From Go, see our customers were coming to us wanting to, they brought Nutanix to us, honestly. A lot of people that use Nutanix are like fans of Nutanix, right? You've seen some of this. And so our customers brought Nutanix to us and as we began to see this trend and we decided to make a private cloud product out of it, we engage with Nutanix. They've provided so many resources. They've been there for us, been very responsive. It's really been a natural and easy collaboration with them. And like you said, they do everything through partners. So that has made it easy. We're another partner, right? They enable us, they know that part of their success is our success and vice versa. So it's kind of almost like an extension of the team, which is fantastic. So what do you say to the new Nutanix customer that comes in? I agree with it, they're very hardcore, loyal fans because they took a chance and they see benefits. So they took a chance and it paid off. It's like gambling, right? You put a number on the roulette wheel and it comes up black or red, whatever. They've had great success there. And that promoted scores 90. But what if new people were like, hey, I heard this Nutanix thing is out there or software. How are you guys looking at these new opportunities? When is Nutanix a good fit? Because you've got to balance it all for all your customers. Yeah. Depending on what they want to do. Yeah, I mean, that's a great question. Honestly, you know, for us, it's really about enabling the higher order applications and workloads for our customers. I don't know that unless the customer themselves is really bringing Nutanix to us, that we're having that conversation, it's really like, look, this is a solution that's going to provide you the capabilities. And again, trying to not have the customer really worry too much about that and let us own that relationship. And as PJ mentioned, Nutanix is invested very heavily, not only in the partnership, but also developing this platform and solution for us. So it's been- So you guys could provide it if no one asks, just provide the best solution? Absolutely. Right, and that's the key, right? I want to ask you a question about geographics. So I'm based in Boston. John's based in the Valley. You're a technology company based in St. Louis. I'm interested, I mean, we may just come to this with our East Coast, West Coast biases. And I'm just, what does it like to be a technology company in St. Louis, in the Heartland? I mean, you can feel part of the community. Oh, absolutely. I mean, in fact, St. Louis really has been, you see several articles about all the startup tech in St. Louis because it is an affordable place to live. You have access to all the cities, usually direct flights, right? So from a community perspective, there's a lot more technology startups than you might think in St. Louis, but they do have access to- Great barbecue too. Great barbecue, absolutely. And it really is a beautiful place.  I mean, it's kind of surprising, honestly. But we have a main technology center also in Raleigh, North Carolina. So we are split between the two. We do a lot of flights. W-W-E-C is out there. R-R-T-P, yeah, the research triangle park in North Carolina is a very big tech hub. So that split really provides a balance. There's a very big business hub in St. Louis and a lot of collaboration and partnerships there from the business side. But also that Raleigh tech hub on the East Coast is really a huge benefit to us. And a lot of our partners are there. And like a lot of come- Nutanix actually is right there down the street. Well, I want to come down and visit you in North Carolina. My daughter's just going to UNC, so I'm going to find some excuses to get down there. That'd be great. It's a tear point show. That's right. A couple of interviews. Yeah. Any time. Any time. Well, thank you both so much for coming on theCUBE. It was great talking to you. Yeah, we really enjoyed it. Thank you for having us. Thank you so much. Thank you. I'm Rebecca Knight for John Furrier. You are watching theCUBE.


Bonjour tout le monde et bienvenue à cette rencontre virtuelle. Je suis très content d'être avec vous aujourd'hui. I'm really, really happy to be with you all today to talk about whatever is on your mind. This has been a very difficult year and one of the things that I've missed most is being able to get out and meet with young people across the country, meet with Canadians across the country and do town halls in which people get to share with me the things that are on your minds, ask questions, talk about the issues that we're facing as a country and moving forward. I have done a whole bunch of virtual visits to classrooms and they've all been a lot of fun but I've been really looking forward to this one and want to say a huge thank you to the Canadian Teachers Federation for pulling this one together with me and our extraordinary finance minister and Deputy Prime Minister Christia Freeland. The opportunity now to connect with all of you at this particular moment I think is a recognition that this has been a tough year for everyone but it's particularly tough for young people. I know my kids at home have had a huge tough time of it, not seeing friends the same way, not being able to do the same kinds of events but also a deeper concern about what this is going to mean for the coming years and I know that's particularly as many of you reach the end of high school reflecting on how is this going to impact the coming years, your path through university, your path into the job market and potentially impacts economic and jobs and growth for you for many years to come and that's something that we're very very much aware of and focused on because we have to make sure that any scarring that can happen as happens in recessions and in crises does not limit your capacity to succeed because we need you, we need you to become and be the extraordinary powerful agents of change that I know you intend on being. We have to make sure that each and every one of you gets the path that you're able to walk with as many supports as possible to ensure not just that you're contributing through the coming years but that you be shaping our society for the years to come so that's why being able to check in with you now, hear from you on your concerns, talk about them and highlight some of the ways in which we are looking to support you as you move forward is really important to me. We've talked a lot about over the past number of years or past year of how we're going to get through this pandemic and I think that remains really important that we deal with this crisis and come through it in the right way but it's going to be incredibly important as well that we draw on some of the many many lessons, some directly linked to the pandemic, some not so much that we've learned over the past while to build a better world, a better economy, a better society for everyone. I think those are things that keep coming up as themes every time I hear from young people so I'm really looking forward to this opportunity.


Hey everyone, I'm here today to talk to you about the switch pro and switch mini Good one. No, really, I'm actually here to talk about at least the mini part of things one thing that happened in Nintendo's investors briefing is that Shintaro Furukawa addressed some of the speculation and rumors out there about a potential Nintendo switch pro and switch mini new hardware and he had two things to say One was that Nintendo is always working on new hardware. That's not surprising This is the same statement Nintendo has given for 30 years. So yeah, Nintendo is always working on new hardware surprise But really the big news is that he said that Nintendo does not have any new hardware to announce right now or at E3 2019 now following this up Nikkei came out and stated with literally within hours that they are confident that The Nintendo switch mini or at least a cheaper version of the switch would be arriving this summer Now June was a particular interesting month for this because Bloomberg reported that a switch mini or a cheaper Model of the Nintendo switch would be arriving at some point in June And this is what led to the E3 speculation in the first place We also know at the end of June is Super Mario maker on June 28th And it might make a lot of sense to release a miniaturized version of the system That's handheld only potentially for that game in addition to maybe have an included stylus or something kind of like a 3ds I don't know just kind of throwing some speculation out there It also makes sense to have a smaller version of the switch That's maybe more portable for Pokemon Sword and shield later this year But reality is Nintendo has stated that that's not happening or at least it's not happening now And it's not happening at E3 Nintendo however doesn't really use E3 to announce hardware anymore and they haven't since the Wii U days In fact, they announced pretty much all of their hardware whenever they damn well feel like it through a variety of methods Sometimes it's just through a Nintendo Direct Sometimes it's just randomly dropped in the middle of an October Okay, it wasn't so random They told us it was coming that October and then they told us about the live event in January of 2017 For the Nintendo switch What the point is that these events are just way outside of Nintendo's Usual method of unveiling things at E3 and that's because well, they don't really use E3 to unveil hardware anymore so Them saying they're not going to unveil anything now and they're not going to unveil anything at E3 Doesn't actually mean they're not going to unveil anything this year If he meant and if center for akawa wanted to state that there will be no switch pro no switch mini No new hardware from Nintendo in 2019 He would have stated there will be no new hardware in 2019 But that's not what he said. He said no new hardware right now So he's like at this investors meeting. He's not going to talk about new hardware He's not going to unveil new hardware and he's not going to unveil anything at E3 It could still be unveiled before E3 could be unveiled next month could be unveiled And a june could be unveiled whenever What Nintendo stated does not rule out a switch pro or a switch mini at all And I feel like this needs to be addressed on an individual level because I've seen a lot of comments out there A lot of tweets even some direct messages to me that hey Can you please stop talking about the nintendo switch pro nintendo switch mini nintendo squashed all that? And they really didn't that's the strange thing here nintendo Usually does squash all that Uh, remember when the rumors were flying out about a 3ds xl back in the day? Well Shigeru Miyamoto came in to squash those rumors and said absolutely We are not releasing a new hardware revision anytime soon two weeks later. They announced the new nintendo Well, I'm sorry. They announced the nintendo 3ds xl And then they said they weren't going to do an upgraded hardware version of it And then six months later they announced the new nintendo 3ds xl Then they said they weren't going to remove features from the 3ds and then they did the 2ds So the point being here nintendo lies nintendo lies when it's convenient for nintendo to lie They lie when it doesn't make sense for them to be talking about a particular piece of hardware Really at any point that they're not ready to talk about it as an example say a nintendo switch mini for $200 is coming this summer You think they want to talk about it now? They think you think they wanted to turn people from buying switches now No, in fact, I don't think with a cheaper model of the switch They're going to give us much warning about it at all. In fact, I ventured a bet They are going to announce and release it within the exact same month Why because then you are not deterring people from buying the switch before that announcement So of course nintendo is going to say oh, we don't have anything to announce right now because that's going to deter Current switch sales and they're going to say hey look about those rumors out there We're not actually announcing anything at e3 Again, this isn't meant to be anything other than a statement of hey look, we don't announce hardware at e3. Anyways, so of course We're not announcing at e3 and yeah feel confident buying a switch now. That's all they're doing They're not denying that they're going to be a new model of switch in 2019 There's not they might deny there might be multiple models of switch Now a lot of people that are naysayers out there a lot of people that don't want to believe this A lot of people that think people like me are just talking head idiots on the internet Uh, I will point to last year when the rumors were starting to circulate heavily about a switch pro and a switch mini What's notable about those rumors last year though is hardly any of them stated the system was coming anytime soon In fact, almost every rumor about a potential cheaper switch or a switch pro last year always referred to 2019 And here we are in 2019 Not even halfway over and more and more rumors keep surfacing from whether it's bloomberg Whether it's euro gamer whether it's nikkei out of japan The only people not talking about it are the people that aren't ready to announce it yet and that being Nintendo So this is why I actually believe in terms of switch mini at least is coming in 2019 If not also a pro model or a next gen version or whatever it ends up being a minor upgrade Um, a revision of the current model whatever it ends up being the reason I think we're at least going to get that cheaper model this year It's not just because a pokemon and mario maker and fire emblem and all these games that have done well on the handheld space animal crossing included But because nintendo didn't fly out deny that these things exist. They said we're always making new hardware Just nothing to announce now and nothing to announce at e3 That's not a denial that they're making new hardware. They openly admit we're always making new hardware Nintendo's telling you without telling you that they are making something Just when we're gonna see that something is completely in their hands And again nikkei is like just like firm on summer Wall street journal was firm on summer bloomberg's firm on summer Everyone seems to be firm as summer is when we're getting the mini and even if it doesn't even if summer comes and goes We get to september and hey look switch mini still isn't out. That doesn't mean it's not coming yet Again, it could just be coming out around the time pokemon's coming. That's always been my thing I've always felt switch mini makes a lot of sense to land at october or november Getting really close to when pokemon's coming because they did state that pokemon was going to be made more for the portable aspect of the switch Although you could obviously play it in docked mode Whereas, uh, let's go picture. Let's go evie was made specifically for tv mode that you could also play portably So again, I honestly think that this is Much to do about nothing I think nintendo is just doing what they typically do except they're not doing what they typically do And that's what's really strange because typically nintendo denies denies denies and just states no No new version of the switch exists or is coming anytime soon But that's not what they said And maybe it's just because it's for akawa. It's new management Uh, he's not as good as say reji fuzame or shigurumi omodo I just outright lying to people and hey when they drop news of the switch mini before e3 When they drop news of the switch mini slightly after e3 if that does happen Uh, nintendo still went to lie to you because it didn't announce it at e3 and they didn't announce it now. So Uh, that's the funny thing about shinter for akawa's words. They really just rule out now in e3 Hey, we're not going to announce it at e3, but they can still announce it before Oh, hey, we're not going to uh announce it now, but we're still going to announce it later like it Got to kind of read between the lines when it comes to nintendo. They have a history of Being very coy and being very, um close to the vest when it comes to their hardware Really more close to the vest than even they are with their software if you can believe that And uh, they basically will not tell you anything Until the day they show off whatever it is they're working on and this time around They're not even denying that they're working on it. They're just saying not now Not showing it off at e3 or not unveiling it at e3. I guess was the more We're not gonna We have no new hardware to announce now or new hardware to announce at e3 was it was the exact quotes and uh If it's already been announced, then it's not technically announced at e3 I don't know. Anyways, I'm just going to sit back here and enjoy the ride the roller coaster the rumors Everything that's coming guys. We're getting a new model of switch. I can guarantee you right now. I don't have any inside sources I'm just telling you the history of nintendo platforms dating back to the nes Tells you we're getting a console revision. They have revised every single system They have ever released in the history of nintendo. They're gonna do it again I just don't know what form or what what way that revision is going to take the common thought processes a mini interpro A non-dockless version or smaller version or something more powerful I don't know. That's kind of the common theories and the common thought processes All I can guarantee you looking at all of you my nintendo primers out there Is that hey, we're getting a revision at some point here because nintendo always revises their platforms Anyways, folks, I'm with the interoperates from nintendo prime Let me know what you think about all this down in the comments below Be sure to enter our nintendo switch super smash rolls ultimate giveaway through the glean that i'll link down in the Description that is the bundled version the special edition that came out last november I want to thank all you guys for tuning in and i'll catch each and every single one of you in the next video


For the United Nations, it's been a road well traversed, a 60-year journey negotiating the harsh terrain of global politics, creating milestones out of its success stories. In these years, the United Nations has successfully overcome challenges and achieved its objectives with the participation and contribution of member states, with international peacekeeping being one of the most daunting tasks. Towards this endeavor of the United Nations, its member states, including India, have contributed soldiers for various peacekeeping missions around the globe. With their commitment towards duty, discipline and professionalism, Indian peacekeepers have been inspired to make sacrifices of the highest order, upholding the glorious traditions of the Indian Army. As one of the top contributors to UN's peacekeeping efforts, 70,000 Indian military and police personnel have served under the blue flag, in 41 out of 57 peacekeeping operations across the globe. Such large troop deployment truly reflects India's capability and commitment in terms of professional soldiering. Only the best officers and soldiers with attributes like calm, reserve and determination will do for peacekeeping missions. So, the selection process is a tough one. Neutrality, fairness and respect for human rights must be clearly understood and adhered to. Would-be peacekeepers are also reminded that they are not going out to wage war, but to prevent infighting between belligerent groups. They are made to understand that the objective is to attain peace, not by force or armed conflict, but through calm and diplomatic reassurance. Peacekeeping had not originally been envisaged as a role of the United Nations, and so was not included in the UN Charter. Rather, it emerged as a pragmatic response to emerging global situations. Traditionally, peacekeeping operations have involved the deployment of military personnel from a number of countries under UN command. Over time, UN peacekeeping evolved to meet the unique demands of sharply different conflicts in an ever-changing political landscape. Indian troops have taken part in some of the most difficult operations in hostile territory, yet managed to win universal acclaim with their professional excellence and significant contributions towards world peace and stability. In all these conflicts, Indian soldiers have played and have made, have distinguished themselves through discipline, training and professionalism, and it is my hope that you can help set a new standard for UN peacekeeping. It's a painful admission that in terms of numbers, India leads the list of countries whose soldiers have made the supreme sacrifice while on a UN mission. Despite these unfortunate incidents, India, as a responsible member of the international community, remains firmly committed to UN peacekeeping efforts in order to further establish peace and security around the world. I want to thank the Government of India for its support and, of course, for the sacrifices it has made. Over 100 Indian soldiers and police officers have paid with their lives while participating in our operations and we are very grateful for that sacrifice made by Indian personnel in the pursuit of the cause of peace. It is because of such genuine and selfless contribution to world peace that India's relations with the UN have been strong and are becoming even stronger with each passing day. India is proud to remain sensitive and responsive to the needs of world peace. It is always prepared to contribute selflessly and generously to UN peace initiatives in order to make the world a better and safer place in times to come.


Food. It nurtures us. It connects us. The journey of food from farm to table creates jobs and shapes our land and cultures. But agri-food systems have huge hidden costs. To the environment, our health, and society. Those hidden costs are rarely reflected in market prices and traditional economic analysis. But we ignore them at our peril. If we want to stop climate change and protect biodiversity, design more resilient and sustainable agri-food systems, ensure access to healthy diets that allow people to thrive, and address poverty and inequality. We need to get better at accounting for these hidden costs and acting to address them. Our new report makes the case for using true cost accounting to measure the real impact of how we produce, transport, process, and consume food. This in turn will allow decision makers to design and apply the best solutions to address the hidden costs that affect us all. FAO is responding to this essential need by dedicating for the first time two consecutive issues of the state of food and agriculture report to the same theme. This year's report reveals that the hidden costs of our agri-food systems are at least $10 trillion a year. That's nearly 10% of global GDP. The highest costs are to people's health, from poor diets leading to obesity and non-communicable diseases, mostly affecting high and upper middle income countries. One-fifth of the total costs are environmental, including from greenhouse gas emissions. Low-income countries are hit hardest by social hidden costs caused by poverty and undernourishment. These preliminary results show the need to produce deeper, national-level analysis to help policymakers address these costs by enabling comparisons of different levers from subsidy and tax reforms to new regulations to voluntary guidelines. Next year's report will focus on these more targeted assessments. We have a huge opportunity to transform agri-food systems for the better, realizing benefits for people and planet, and setting us on a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive course for the future.


Hello, everyone. In this session, we are going to learn about feedback amplifier topologies and analysis. The learning outcome of this session, at the end of this session, students will be able to understand and analyze feedback amplifier topologies. So these are the contents of this session. So topologies of feedback amplifier, there are four basic amplifier types or topologies. Each of these is being approximated by the characteristic of an ideal control source. The four feedback topologies are as depending upon type of output quantity taken and the way in which the sampled output quantity given back to the input side of amplifier. Basically, there are four types of topologies or a feedback amplifier. So these are a voltage series or series shunt feedback amplifier, current series or series series feedback amplifier, current shunt or shunt series feedback amplifier and the fourth type is a voltage shunt feedback amplifier or shunt shunt feedback amplifier. So let us go for the first type of negative feedback amplifier that is a voltage series feedback amplifier. So, this figure shows a block diagram for a voltage series feedback amplifier. So, in this the output the quantity taken from the output side of this amplifier is a voltage and the first term of this name of this amplifier indicates that the quantity taken from output side of amplifier whether a voltage or current. So, in this case the output quantity taken from output side of amplifier is a voltage and the second term series stands for the feedback circuit provides that feedback signal that is proportional to the quantity taken from output of amplifier it is applied in series with the input signal existing at the input side of amplifier. So, for voltage series feedback amplifier. So, the input is effective input voltage for basic amplifier is V n and V s stands for external applied input signal voltage V s and this is a feedback circuit. So, it samples some part of output voltage and for that parallel connection is used at the output side of amplifier and the signal proportional to output voltage the signal proportional to output voltage it is that is designated as V f it is feedback to the input side of this amplifier. So, that feedback signal feedback voltage signal V f so, that is applied in series with the input signal V n V n stands for effective input voltage of amplifier and the feedback voltage signal V f. So, that is in that is coming in series with external applied input voltage signal source V s. So, as the feedback signal voltage signal is applied in series opposition in series opposition with the input voltage signal. So, both V f and V n are out of phase or of opposite polarity. So, feedback voltage signal opposes the input voltage signal existing at the input side of amplifier. So, due to this the effective input current the effective input current of this amplifier decreases. So, the input impedance input impedance of this voltage series feedback amplifier increases as effective input current decreases the input impedance of this amplifier increases. So, output is amplified voltage signal that is applied to load resistor R L. So, the voltage appearing across R L is a V out that is the output amplifier output voltage of overall amplifier. So, input voltage V n of the basic amplifier is a algebraic sum of the input signal V s and the feedback signal voltage V f. So, V f that is equal to beta times V out. So, beta stands for gain of feedback circuit or feedback factor. So, part of output voltage. So, that is V f it is mixed with V s and the resultant of this is applied to the input of basic amplifier. So, V o stands V o or V out stands for the output voltage of the amplifier. So, from this block diagram as input impedance increases at the same time as there is a parallel connection at the output side of this amplifier to take to part of output voltage. So, effective output impedance effective output impedance of this voltage series feedback amplifier decreases. So, from that block diagram of voltage series feedback amplifier the transfer ratio or gain of basic amplifier. So, that is designated as a that is the basic internal gain of gain or transfer ratio of amplifier. So, V n stands for effective input voltage of overall amplifier and V out is the out amplifier output voltage of amplifier. So, in that block diagram a stands for a ratio of output voltage to actual input voltage of a basic amplifier. So, that is a equal to a v designated as a v. So, it is a voltage gain V stands for voltage gain. So, a v stands for voltage gain of amplifier. So, transfer ratio or gain of overall feedback amplifier. So, considering that V s is a externally applied input voltage whereas, V f is output of feedback circuit that is feedback voltage signal and beta stands for feedback factor or gain of feedback circuit. So, that is beta equal to V f upon V out. So, overall voltage gain of voltage series feedback amplifier a V f. So, that is equal to V out upon input voltage V s external applied input voltage V s. The second type of topology that is voltage and feedback amplifier. So, in this voltage and feedback amplifier the quantity taken from output side of amplifier is again a voltage. So, for that there is a parallel connection or shunt connection. So, output of amplifier and the input side of a feedback circuit are connected in parallel and load resistor R L is coming in parallel to the input side of a feedback circuit. So, the signal proportional to output voltage the signal proportional to the output quantity sample that is the voltage. So, that is the current signal it is applied in parallel it is applied in parallel to the input signal current I s. So, the in where I s stands for the current resulting from externally applied input signal source. So, that current I s and the feedback current I f are in parallel or in shunt and I n is a effective input effective input current of a basic amplifier. So, as there is a parallel connection at the input side of amplifier as well as output side of amplifier the input impedance and output impedance of this voltage and feedback amplifier with feedback decreases both input impedance and output impedance are decreases. So, input is a current signal and output is a voltage signal. So, voltage shunt feedback amplifier provides an output voltage provides an output voltage view that is in proportion to the input current I s. So, input current I n that is effective input current of basic amplifier is the algebraic sum of I s and the output current of a feedback circuit that is I f and the feedback current I f. So, that is applied in parallel to the input signal source current I s. So, considering this block diagram of voltage shunt feedback amplifier the gain of basic amplifier. So, that is the designated a. So, that is nothing, but in this case for a voltage shunt feedback effective input current of amplifier is I n and output is a voltage voltage signal. So, forward transfer ratio or gain of this amplifier it is the ratio of output voltage to input current. So, that is equal to a. So, that is designated as R m. So, R m stands for trans resistance of amplifier. So, R m stands for trans resistance of this amplifier without feedback. So, transfer ratio or gain of this amplifier with feedback. So, that can be expressed as considering I s as external applied input current and I f is the output of feedback circuit. So, beta that is the feedback factor of feedback circuit. So, beta equal to I f upon V out.  So, that is equal to ratio of output voltage V out to the input current I s. Now, third type of topology that is current series feedback amplifier. In current series the type of output quantity sampled from the output side of amplifier is a current. So, for current sampling the output side of amplifier and the input side of feedback circuit are connected in series. So, output load resistance coming in series with the input port or input side of a feedback circuit. So, output is a current signal and the input side of this amplifier. So, the feedback circuit provides a voltage signal that is proportional to the current sampled from output side of this amplifier. It is applied in series in series with the input voltage V s or in series with effective input voltage of this amplifier. So, this is nothing but a current series feedback amplified topologies. So, feedback voltage V f applied in series opposition with V s or a V in and the effective input voltage for amplifier is a V in. So, that is amplified at the output. So, output is a current and input is a voltage. So, this current series feedback amplifier acts as a trans conductance amplifier. So, trans conductance feedback amplifier provides an output current I o that is output current I out which is proportional to the input voltage V s. So, the feedback signal is the voltage V f which is added or mixed to the input externally applied input voltage source signal voltage V s at the input of this basic amplifier. So, from this block diagram we can express the gain of basic amplifier without feedback that is designated as G m. So, G m stands for a trans conductance trans conductance of amplifier. So, it is ratio of output current I out to input voltage V in and considering the negative feedback. So, the gain of this amplifier with negative feedback. So, that is a transfer ratio with feedback. So, that is expressed as G m f where G m f stands for transfer ratio or gain of this amplifier with feedback. It is a ratio of output current to the input voltage V s. So, fourth type of topology that is current shunt feedback amplifier. So, in this output quantity taken is a current. So, for that there is a series connection between output side of amplifier and the feedback circuit. So, load register R L is coming in series with the input side of feedback circuit and the feedback signal that is the current signal that is proportional to output current. So, it is applied in parallel in shunt with the input current I s resulting due to external applied input signal source. So, the current shunt feedback amplifier supplies an output current I out which is a proportional to the input current I in. So, this makes it as a current amplifier. So, current shunt feedback amplifier is a current amplifier. The feedback signal is a current I f and the input current of the basic amplifier is I in. So, I in equal to I s plus I f and the output current is I out. So, that is equal to the load current I l. So, from this block diagram we can express the gain without feedback and gain with feedback. So, gain without feedback that is the current gain of this amplifier ratio of output current to input current. So, designated as A i. A i stands for current gain of amplifier and current gain of amplifier with negative feedback. So, that is designated as A i f. So, it is a forward transfer ratio or current gain of this amplifier with feedback. So, that is equal to amplified output current I out upon the input external applied input signal source current I s. So, student can pause video here and think over this question and try to answer this question. Series feedback connection tends to increase tends to increase the input impedance of amplifier. Why? The answer is this is because the feedback signal is applied to input in series to oppose the external input signal applied causing the input current to decrease. So, input impedance of overall amplifier increases. So, this is the reference. Thank you.
