Welcome everyone. Thank you for joining us today. We have Masimo Stella here to talk about Kate and live Masimo take it away Okay before to speak about getting live I would like to celebrate Katie of course because it's the 25th birthday celebration and to me this is a I'm very happy to be here because it's a very important moment in the sense that This idea of community is at the open source. Maybe so so maybe 25 years ago was just not the beginning but was just not even a dream because he's already moving but something that was in the mind of someone just Starting point today 25 years mean that it is idea this project is working pretty well and it's here around to stay and it's It's not just a matter of what he's providing because providing fantastic software tools to to help people to be more free and dependent and most secure and It's a mother also of culture. We are spreading culture with is a way to to do what we are doing So I'm very proud to be part of it and I guess that It's a very very very good moment because 25 year means that this really something Real something that is not just an idea or something like that. It's something that is happening though I'm here to represent my friends on Kedin live because Kedin live is a group of friends at the end and as I said before in term of culture what bond us is Passion because we are doing this for passion to and so this is Thinking about passion in today war is time like Like motivation to do it's to me is very important and also the result we get in in time to me now today We are probably the leading software in the open source community in term of video editor and So this is to me is a goal we achieved if it's true because of this passion that is also the same Fingerprint in term cultural fingerprint that is KD community as so I'm very happy But before to start to speak about Kedin live, I would like to portray the story So someone who will tell me that will tell me that I will already use this video for the last year to every Presentation that is on the side. Okay. I'll admit that I would have the time to Produce something new for celebrity celebration, but it was not possible. I was very busy recently and And so I recycled this old video But it's not very old just one year ago because I produced it for last year Academy Mints in this time of the year. So it was updated to the version of KD and live 2008 so one year is exactly one year ago. So what we do we play together this video So we can watch it that we can learn about This experience that's a KD and live is producing since 2002. So it's that next year would be 20 years So 20 is a great celebration to the first reason will hold 2003 and we are here today. So I play this video to Summarize what's happened Up to today and then after we speak we try to make the Summary the summary of the last year what happened next KD and live is a community project with James to deliver a free and open video editing software application To allow everybody to produce quality content in order to increase the democratization of the media The application is a graphic interface written in C++ with QT and KDE libraries for the MLT framework written by Dandenity which relies on FF MPEG to decode and encode almost all the video and audio formats that are out today and Which hosts effects libraries like Freyor and move it for video and Ladspa and socks for audio By following the official documents that we can find on the Internet the project was launched by Jason Wood who released version 0.2.3 in October 2003 Soon KD and live 0.2.4 followed but the community did not yet exist and the group was very small the project stopped for two years Before the end of 2005 Jean-Baptiste Mardel who heard that the project would be reactivated offered his help and in 2006 He signed the post of the new release 0.3 of the program from this moment on he became the main reference point for the project Version 0.4 and 0.5 are soon distributed But there is an issue a refactoring of the code is needed to go forward The program has to be moved from KDE 3 which is not compatible with MLT to KDE 4 The rewriting ends in 2008 followed by several new releases But in 2011 a further migration from KDE 4 to KDE 5 was needed to allow the program to grow In 2012 a crowdfunding campaign is launched to fund the operation and before the end of 2014 the goal is reached Then finally in 2015 KD and live becomes an official KDE application Jean-Baptiste was invited to academy to present 10 years of activity The new perspective is to make the project even bigger Before the end of the year the first KDE and live cafe is announced with the aim of getting more people involved During this virtual meeting it immediately became clear that in order to grow KDE and live needed to be cross-platform The windows version was announced in 2016 began with a sprint meeting followed by the new logo and the new site But as soon as the development of new features started It was evident that the code for the timeline had to be rewritten because it was too old and no longer fit Everybody knew that the refactoring could take several months or years but the community did not lose enthusiasm In 2018 a new roadmap was written and in 2019 the refactored code was distributed Although some fine-tuning was still needed To overcome this the focus of the community in 2020 has revolved around fixing and improving the program The result of this is the latest version 20.08 which delivers stability several new features and a new interface with five workspaces So this is what happened from the beginning okay, then live to today what you want to do now It's today up to the last year. So what I want to do now it's update The last that I have to do that what happened in the last year so starting from The end of this video so That that sign last year to today. So to do that I Show you better because this way under me. You can't see anything for real So I remove my okay And I show you what we publish in the site during this year. So mean that after All this work we implement the same track transition We implement a subtitling tool to create subtitles inside cading live straight away We we have can edit you see there is only so I invite you to To visit the site to check what happened. We revamp the effect completely. We rewrite all the folder We arrange it. We remove what was not working. We had new filters. For example in fact like these padding tools and orders For example, we have the full support to We are 360 videos for example this point. We have a support for 3d video means stereoscopic video And we have a video qualizer and other effect that are coming actually Then in terms of usability with the usability we do the bunch of job in terms of for example on the bin To tag better our clips to make it faster easier the way to arrange and find them then we implement the way to manage better the tracks by removing and adding faster track also the way we visualize you visualize the waveform inside the site And for example this very important the way to archive the project that archive the project that I will speak about later because Mix up with another of the things that we did recently make a really important Portant direction to the application that I will tell you later Then in the following. Oh, this is actually was the last one the last thing that we put this is now It's a correct is it Is the Is this was the version that we introduced all this time in the version of december last year So then in a we introduce in every we introduce the speech to text which text means that now you can edit your interview Just by letting the ai Vosca ai to collect them the speech from the The video and create a list of text that you can edit straight away on the text for Then we improve again the usability by inserting the two zoom bars by inserting the information on on the bottom bar by reset the position of guides and other tool that we have on the timeline We insert in introduced the media browser were interesting object You can just drag and drop from inside the application Bros in the folder and the assets inside the computer We refine improve a lot the keyframe panel and then we insert again other effects in this kind for example with this type rider the alpha strobe And very important. We insert the affect zone for tracks and for master track to get a result like You know, you can have with the adjustment layer in premiering or the fillery method So you can just then we add the dependent following online resources And other stuff in most recent versions the last one the one of august we insert the time ramp that is actually The keyframe for speed so you can change speed progressively and the masking effect they introduce Some important stuff that are to come to but it's very interesting the way to apply the mask So it's we can use different filters to create the mask and then apply So we can open for example to secondary color correction that we refined recently to have a full support for secondary color correction Again always interface and usability improvements for example moving the guy together with the footage have the chance to Set shortcuts to Visualize that come on surface some widget that could be highlighted maybe under other widget same for shortcuts for keyframe functions And now improvement on central transition and the improvement will come more because we are still working on the central transition to make it always better a command bar that help us to call every possible command that the kidney lab is able to perform through this bar just with control health alt i Then we have the chance to be in we I meant that we add something to the keyframe Even by copying storing so we improve the keyframe situation again also by the Importing the motion information we improve also motion information to create stabilization etc And we have the chance for example to rename the guy to the monitor that is something more but actually This is this is not all what we we are doing because what we are doing now in this specific moment Is that we are We are improving A lot more stuff. I need to collect now a list of things I've written So we are doing the work on the trimming tools now soon we'll see The two of the four famous trimming tools so means two means We have already ready that I will show you the slip and the ripple. So we miss just only the rolling and slide that are Rolling maybe it's not so less important slide a little bit less, but the main ones slip and and ripple are almost ready so we probably Out 90 percent on the next release for december We still improving the single transition. So they are always getting better also because we have to Mix up together with the the trimming feature to the trimming tools of the fitness feature We found a fantastic noise reduction for voice that works very well as will be in the next release too We have the first Scratch of the new arrangement of the audio effects. We are working on it a lot because You can compile a bunch of lapstein all my on my machine. There are for example 600 Effects some of them that doesn't work etc. So it's a long job. I guess that will be able to complete Soon as Soon as possible, but I don't know I hope for This reason I'm not so sure but also because This I don't want to introduce what is the so I will tell you after why I will slow down We will slow down with the with the audio effect Then we have finally implemented the secondary choral correction. Thanks to this new mask system So we have a very complete secondary choral correction. I will show you something during the demonstrator I don't know how many times to let the demonstration today because we have a bunch of things to say But some demonstration it's in my in my list And then multi-camera environment that is Really fully functional is working finally and we have The chance to do Not a chance. We have the most important news to me on the table. I show you I go back Again on the side to show you what We post a couple of days ago So I go back here. Give me one second, please That I have to open the page that is here. So we have This Yes, kd live is finally On macOS. We are still on the nightly build. That means that We are still testing but it's running and the screenshot you can see here Show us that is possible. I already personally tested on some apple machine on some colleague It will be to me working. I hope on For the next version should be out as Before about the audio effects that the problem is that how many of the effect we can compile for windows or for mac for example less Then what we have on on linux in linux. I was able to install more than 600 effects Some of them that they don't work. So I have to Personally to check etc. But we also understand You use the other person that that are working on on the packaging for example vincent has to import all this effect inside the Windows of the macOS version now again included. So we have to check what It's possible to have on a platform or what it doesn't work in some platform. So it will be Long a long word. We want to arrange stuff. But it's come. What is important and it's Related to what I said about archiving our project that been on all the platform means that A great improvement in the sense that Imaging you are working with someone that has not is not using linux and you have to share a project with someone and First of all being cross-platform in that you can suggest people To adopt kdnl. So I know because you're doing using that but this is a good software. You can use it Try it you don't even have to install windows because we have a standalone version And so you can immediately share your project with everybody because the software costs nothing You have not even to export a a yellow the format so to for interoperability You can just install your software inside the machine and this will run your project And Secondary the fact that we can archive the project that I show you because we have this feature Will help us so you can archive just with the proxy you can for example have a Machine when it could be online or could be remote or whatever This is open to sharing project remotely and work remotely because you can just save on your remote location to archive project with just the Proxies that is they are very small respected the original footage so you can share my proxies remotely Your project with with whoever is around and you will work with and then we You can render out just from the place where the assets the original assets are Present on the machine. So this is a great improvement. What I want to wait a moment. I have to check because some point maybe It's now it's The time to make this some show you something for example, I prepared Okay, now I want to finish speaking about one important thing because Because I'm confused what is the better order of how to arrange stuff No, I go with the demonstration because I guess that I trigger enough curiosity About what it's really what we are doing So first of all, I show you the trimming. So let me just Open the show you the trimming space behind me then I let you Watch just what happened in the interface So this is for example, now we show you something interesting It is in your sub folder structure. This is actually a new feature New feature which kind of feature is you have to know that in Maybe a bunch of people know already. So I don't know already. So I don't know that for example In this is a folder that I produce with my xd come My xd come for example created for every single clip a folder which contain different Object media files and other data that are usable for the camera So to import also the zoom recorder someone told me last time during the last cafe That has the same problem of following for this true because I have a zoom or zoom recorder So I have the the same problem.  This is of course The as you can recognize the Our media browser is written here. I would like to switch the We can do it later. I know it's just it's just still importing So it's It's possible this way to avoid to import all the single Folder that are in the in the bin that you want to in the folder you want to import but You can have the folder structure in your world. And so you have just the clip inside the folder I don't know what's happening here 45 job. Okay. This is actually I have an excuse for that because this is just A testing proposed application just for trimming. So it's just to show you how the trimming works are going So it's not a tested version. So I'm not happy that it's happening now But I was very trustful about this and okay so Maybe we need more time to check if it's able to But it's always work. So it's I can show you in Okay, now maybe I have to pass from this to this and move forward with the presentation in We have no trimming in that situation. So maybe I go back to a trimming later But just to show you how they work and what we are doing So what I can show you from here. Sorry what I can show you from here is for example The secondary correction secondary correction. This is a big project actually that is That we speak about later. So for the moment, I close it open new one Clean I import some footage from here So give one second, please Okay I import the footage with my face that I use also for this demonstration Okay Second I call this is not the best actually picture I can use maybe I use another picture because to make a good To make this one this way is not the best one We can use that one for example. This is okay I would like to avoid proxies now So I remove the proxy click Okay, this one because we have these fantastic skies. So let me play a little bit Out of the clip and place in the timeline No, it's all with the moment Out On frame now a little bit longer Okay, then we maybe increase the resolution. So I here we have A Custom effect call call secondary color correction. How does it work? So we pile so I show you the how the mask work. We put all together set a number of effect We create this secondary color correction tool to select the color of the secondary color correction We add this alpha operation that allow us to Show the mask we create Of course, we can refine the mask by using the tools that we have here that can change for example the hardness of Of the mask I can show you we have a converse here. I don't know why he's asking to use Okay, we can Of course change the parameter of the mask to check to make it harder softer to make it more precise now We are looking for Sky for example, mostly so we have to remove all the of the surface. We are not interested in the attention to Sky All right, then I will do a sky for example red just to show you something is stream So you see also the clouds are coming out, etc So we can control the mask by using the parameter. We have inside there the tool I'm doing very rough. Then we have the gaussian blue that the blur that help us to make the smoother or The mask for example Then we have Transpensive means how much is Yeah, it's like That we cannot see the color correction Oh You watch what you see You're right Okay, okay Someone's typing Okay, I can see your screen I can see you moving around was stuck. No, no, it's okay. Okay. It's my fault Actually because I was stuck on the other plane when the application gets stuck before But we can now I can repeat. I'm sorry in the meantime You're fine. Um, yes, there's a question. Can you start the color correction over from the beginning? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm very, I'm very sorry About what happened So I was confused because when I didn't was in the the block I before really Shock me for a moment. I start from scratch again. So it's not he's not difficult. I'm here We have this fantastic landscape. We take the secondary color correction Okay Now we have this tool piled as you already listened to my text before I can repeat fast then so we have this secondary color correction mask that allow us to Click and select the color. We have the alpha as I saw before that show us the mask We have all the tool to control our mask by Increasing the quality we can change the type for example Of selection is for example, this one is smoother. This one is different. You see So I let you then decide what you fit the operation you're doing So for example, I want to use these Parameters to create this mask because I want to call takes for example some clouds some other stuff like that So we decide that this mask is this soften parameter doesn't work exactly on the alpha channel. So it's not It's for other purpose. Actually, it's useful, but not now We have the gaussian blur to soften our mask Then we have the transparency actually that being the transparency of the mask, but I will show you later what I would work And we have the apply mask to apply the mask now We have to decide this point which kind of a color effect we want to apply Inside the object for example, we can use curves But you can use whatever you want. You can use also for example This one should be one we're appreciated by exactly for example You have to put the mask Under the color effect Of course, if you want to You can turn off the alpha operation just to watch the and now our color correction works only in the part We have created with the mask. So if I move For example the gammas mean that they create a part of the medium part of the you see To red just the sky is changing the color because this is of course Also, the lift that is the more intense light Have an impact, but of course these are in the medium range. So it's more important. These are the dark carrier. Anyway, you can see we have A change of tonality. Of course when I see before About gash and blur make a difference also. We have step. We have the chance as you can see We change the mask this way And another stuff I can show you is the fact that transparency of the mask change how much Effect you apply To your color correction to change The atmosphere for example of this sky so I hope that is Okay, I don't know. I don't really I'm not reading the chat in this moment. So I don't know. I hope that I fix the problem I created before The multicamera environment I can show you that is interesting. Maybe it's I have to create A small timeline with objects. So I can do that. I can remove this color correction for the moment I can use the same clip that is pretty long. So for example In a different in a different moment I have to add the tracks of course because we okay just video. I don't make the audio We had two video tracks Video two tracks. Okay Okay, okay So I don't care about the audio. I just insert Another section of video My fault another section of video on top of this Then another section of video Let it be forward in time here Pay more attention Here then another section Here At this point I can activate my tool like multicamera tool As you can see now we have The split famous split screen With a moment, yes Okay, now at this point we select which is the first image We want to watch another video in our video. For example, we start from here We just have to play and let's say for example now I want to go here Now I want to go here Now I want to go here Sorry, my fault. This is the biggest mistake. I have to let sorry all the of course all the tracks Activated so sorry, it's very important stuff. So I decide which is the first one So I move here for example I move here for example I move here for example I move here I move here And so on stop When you go back and you Go back to the standard way you have your video edited following What you did Of course, there is some strange effect here because it was already edited But this is for example how the multicam works. So we have a multicam space working correctly and then and then okay The audio don't show you the noise reduction is a pretty easy effect. You can just drag and drop on the On the effect stack it works automatically the improved transition It's nothing very you can you'll find when you use it Um, okay archiving project is pretty easy because when you achieve the project you can first For example, I um clean the project first and then achieve in the project So then project what allow you allow you to achieve in the folder Wherever you want even online remotely or you test it you can archive in only the proxy clip Uh, so when I will able and compress it what is interesting of this system that the application once you Uh, have archived the project this way in the application just watch inside its folder So it's possible to move the folder whatever and to even have this online and share So the project only the project file between machine and help you have always everything synchronized So this is a first implementation something that could be in the future The idea to work remotely by using kdn live, but it's already something now If it's possible Show you because actually I Close the program the version with the three main tools today before I show my face Maybe one second now Okay, so you can see me when I'm struggling on the computer So, um Wait a moment because I I have this Stuff in a specific folder this uh trimming Applicate version of the application So I have to go and open it physically Okay I try to In port again now I'll show you anyone I want to To To do it first what I did before maybe the folder was very too big. I'm out of I'm coming. I'm coming I'm almost there Okay So now I'm porting in the meantime. I prepare The Okay, I'm preparing. Yes. See now. Let me check if it's Now it at work then importing Okay Oh, he's making all the proxies. I did it was the problem. Okay Okay, okay, which concept is working now for the moment Okay, I just remove the proxies from here Because he's making 300 jobs. That was the problem.  I remove the proxy at the moment. I don't want to use it I take two clips for example, I know I want to trim before In point out point Here point point in point Out point Just to have a sequence of objects In point out point now we see the sleep tool The sleep tool what allow us to do allow us to do that we can move this Clip As you can see the one is you see you see the mercury yellow and blue This is the the length of the clip without moving the clip from the timeline We can change the in out point of the clip. You can see it over there By moving the clip without changing its position in that time You can have some you know synchronization with the music for example, you don't want to move it by like how the in out The motion inside the in out point is working. So maybe you have to change it this way way to do it Of course, you can click and change the clip So Refine our and you also the preview about what is coming before and after so to understand how the The thing is working the order. We have not even have the icon the other Tool so it's very we see it's very a testing phase is that For ripple what happened ripple when you ripple you just remove the space Now I I exaggerated we have this still Existing bug, but we can We are I want to show you that we are implanting It's not anything finished yet We go here again to show you without Pushing too much What will happen at the end all the active track will be When you drag it you remove the space or extend the space. We have also the in out point and you can do of course If you reduce or extend so you reduce You move the in or the out point of one clip or the other clip move accordingly to match the new Length, this is actually the Ripple tree mean that it compensate Automatically all the space that is removed. So it's automatically make a compensation Once I say all that I would like to conclude because now I'm ready to conclude because it's already 40 minutes and more that I'm speaking lying crazy person rambling by myself So what I can say is that We're reaching a bunch of goals reaching a bunch of goals example recently We are I was I was cast to produce a content for a main TV show in Italy comedy stuff And I have now time was a It actually I show you the timeline because I had it open before It was a complicated object because it was just a minute but The idea was Not super easy. I have time when I make the demo version for for approval So I to test it And I knew the old The what these Clips to Ask the man to the software. So I think that was a good idea to use it and at the end we broke it what it Some of this clip were broadcasted during the during the During the comedy show so I can show you that if you want to if you want to Find out more information about what what happened in Sorry that I'm fighting with Okay, if you want more information about this You should go on our site and And check one of the latest news that is here. It's uh wait a moment. I go on the latest news Okay, one of the latest news that is kdn live on tv broadcast the money and so we have the link Where to go and check Exactly what was broadcasted and in which situation What I can show you now actually is oh is not loading the page, but we don't care because I want to show you Now I want to go back come back to To kdn live actually And I want to go back to kdn live and show you this but is I don't understand why is not updating Here is not updated. He has the windows Behind me. So let me check. I can update it We don't show me correctly kdn live. So I won't just to show you the project of this Of this maybe it's because of Oh No, it's correct. I don't know why I'm not I'm not able anymore To show you my correct background So the application I would like to so it doesn't matter So what's important? It's actually that to to complete all this conversation that We have a conversation on The chat there's always a conversation. We are all friends. So we're speaking about somehow we're complaining that I I don't consider kdn live professional software is not true They told me that it's professional when the software used For someone to somehow make a wage. So make My profession I use the kdn live for professional some people use it And I guess it's possible to use it. Absolutely And it's just depend on the situation in terms of what is demanded by the The field you are in So I use it for television. It worked I know that we still miss the nesting that is very important step And I don't think that we'll have it on december maybe in april But it's very last step to have A feature pack stop. We have still some work around some stuff to buy at that point We you can complain that you miss something Maybe sometimes could be more tricky but in the time we find everything and everything with at the same level of proprietary expensive software What it's my problem with that is that I would like now I would make to Give the best application that professional intimate of any level can appreciate other people that still prefer to pay Do you sure that they have all the thing that they want? So I would like to convince that people That they have not to pay anything because we are ready to fit its needs. So we are close to that You can go in that direction We already broadcast in television and content or equality content in the prime time comedy show And we also are Accepted so they accept Okay, now it started It started broadcasting But I don't want to show you this anymore About the show you want to show you actually If I find Okay, not this one. I want to stop it here and I want to go here Because as you can see if I scroll the page, I hope that is the page is visible now. Yes If I can scroll the page, you can see that we are here in the aswf that is an association that collect software that are That are on the target on the spot of On the industry mainstream industry. So means Hollywood too And you can see there are some important partners and We are In canyon line. So they accept us This is the way to be in the center of attention and to Collect maybe support. So we are looking for have more support in general in this moment um, because we want to grow Faster and I'm better in the in the next feature. So I don't want to tell you that we have on Our drawer a bunch of News coming because it's true We are rearranging a bunch of stuff and that we want to reach that point that this application could be considered top application so we can compete from to Against I can say against I don't like it because it's like a war but we can compete to with With the property software means that the big four application like avid like premiere like final cut like the bingeros all I think that we are close to and To me the most important thing I can say that if you are someone who's Is a junior video editor or you just want to become a video editor. So you just start to edit today to me Kidding live is the choice you have to do in that sense You need time to grow as editor So kidney live is growing very fast and I show you how much we are fast So how much we are growing and by showing the video and what happened in the last year The fact that we are now we are we were able to propose to a membrocaster To work with the software and accept it the fact that we are in this association and that And then under the wood also in terms of community. We are changing Something important because we want to become faster in developing collecting attention and support So what I can say if you are someone who's a learn how to edit today Take this in consideration because you have to learn so you have your time to learn in the meantime We are going faster by growing fast and Also the approach of editing It's it's it's on personality. Of course kidney live is not exactly no no no software is exactly the same on on Then the other another one But I can tell you that when you learn for example video editing If you learn two programs for example in January you when you open another programs You're super fast to learn how to use that one because you know What you need as editor the tool and I don't need what you know what streaming is We have under streaming is what is a multicam space or whatever So you look in a new application where these two are And in for example when I open the first time the DaVinci resolve the editor part I learned how to use it probably in less than half an hour because I really know how to use avid cut Premiere and Nightworks and whatever so was 20 minutes. So what I can say that it's free. You have not to crack anything You don't take a bit to use And then after it will ask you something So you learn something that is free. It's yours because it you can be part of community Anyway, if you use it you're already part of community. You can even spread And the fact that caddy and live exists to other people. So you can as I told before you can share also The idea to remotely work So you can use the application So to me is the best the best bet you can do by betting on caddy in live to become an editor and have Very very efficient tool that can help you to grow professionally and Introduce you to video editing at certain level that you can if they ask you to use another application You can very easily starting from that point Um I can tell you anything about what is Coming next in the change of caddy and live because I'm just here to represent the community. So I would like that. This is something that When we announce we're reading i'm already announcing that something is happening. So stay tuned When this will happen you will be informed everybody will be informed Who is inside the community will every day is connected to us Not connected to us because it's part of the community So it's part of the company knows is informed every day Who want to be informed every day just have to be part of the community entering our Channel to communicate communication channel like telegram, etc Ah one point when I show you the video the community was 360 people now today We are another 130 more. So in just one year. So we are growing the 30 percent in one year. It's very good We have more than 200,000 Download per version per version that without macOS. We see what happened with macOS. So we are very happy What I can say to conclude i'm very happy to be Here to be like speaking about free software because a very important word is that free software And kitty 25 anniversary and it's free freedom is the key word So, uh, I'm glad that you are We've been out to celebrate this moment and to me we can in life for the moment. It's I conclude here and I wait for you next time. Maybe kitty like cafe another Meeting where we can talk straight and be together Thank you so much. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you so much. Thank you And there are some comments coming to the chat But the question if you'd like to answer it is how similar are the windows and macOS versions To the linux version in terms of features They should be the same and recently we had also An improvement in that sense Um The instance start to use craft to pack Packing also for windows or again together. They use this craft At the point they decided to use craft also for the mac version and also for now to create the Up image version for linux. They use craft. So the idea is to synchronize the code inside craft have just Different way to compile for the different operating systems. So on the paper our idea is to have Three exactly three software that works exactly the same way What could be different As you have to consider that a bunch of features are linked to what is called effect because it's actually Effective and you don't see it don't apply effect some features are based on effect What could be different for example, it's to see for example, I told you before about the audio specifically Which plug-in in this case is plug-in. So it's different. It's not function We'll be we'll be able to bring inside all the platform or random But the idea is that the three Version has to work exactly in the same way. This is the point We'll see if we will be able to do that. I guess so in my opinion. Yes We see in terms of stability mac is still need to To be tested even if to me it's When I tested the first night reversion more than one month ago What I found as problem was that it didn't load the fray or filter, but this was fixed recently That we have not the bar for change the layout for example on top Right part of the screen, but you can use it by through the menu of view and That I I don't know what happened. I don't know it was fixed with the graphic library of mac I have a problem with the playback on the monitor So if I use the full resolution was smoother than when I reduce the resolution But it's something that they are I know they are working on So we need tests on mac and exactly windows. It looks like that is going pretty well and we are At this point at the same level than Linux, I believe I don't know. I tested it. It looked like good. So This is my if there is other answer. I'm here to answer to all the questions There's another question here massimo. Okay, what is the best way to donate to help the kaden live team In terms of hardware laptops money kdev membership Okay, this is part of what we are doing in terms of the same news. So The idea is that is to be Very light. So okay first of all what the list of things you can do it's Starting from using it and report bugs if you find it Share the voice proposed to other people that edit the software and telling me exactly honestly What's about because for example when I go when I went to This guy that we're working to right top society international from society based in new york And they have to make a very complex job who hold the fashion week in london. They even rent some computers Top one computers to do this job Um, so I test the kaden live on the top one mac That they have don't even have the money to buy it but just rented And they were interested when I have the problem with the playback for example, they I don't say they lose interest but they say We wait when it's ready But the guy told me that he will Call me back in November because he want to try it anyway doing his show real that is nothing professionally just for himself So he has the time even to fail, but it's interesting. So Fred Because if the guy when he will do the show really will be enthusiastic maybe next time And we fix the problem mac maybe next time for his own projects how to use it Is in the field he will talk with other people or the people will be encouraged to Download it. So people enter and suggest a new feature that they like to have another software. We can do it So spreading participating report bugs Translation if you need some reason participate to the manual If you are able to code of core coding money could be of course a support because we want to start with raising funds at a certain point Independently stay inside kd associated being part of the community. Anyway, We stay always connect to kd use always in fact historically be kd part But we would like to be a little bit more independent in terms of arranging funds at a certain point We always try to rise found to pay piece of code so to accelerate somehow the process to to go where we where we want to go It's a community the most important thing is participating and really well starting from using the software to push the software to other people and to suggest Have suggestions check bugs participating participating using and feel that is not If you're not you're a user you're not alien from the project like, you know, you buy from adobe You know, if that something doesn't bother the bug you can post in the community But nobody will solve that bug. Maybe the bug would be solved in two three version But you have to pay to update and not today. You don't even update you just have to pay monthly But nobody cares about you. Nobody's interested about you is interested about your money We are interested about user and the quality of software and the passion that we created software This is a matter of passion matter of quality matter excellence. So participating is Being there what they say always being that if you want to help us being there participate to the kdm cafe write being in the chat use it and Enter the point when we be able before we able to collect our Our donation by ourself, of course donate to kd is always Is always the best thing you can do if you want to do it. So that is That is what I can tell so being there Thanks Massimo that is all of the questions we have But there were quite a few comments coming in saying, you know, thank you. Congratulations on the uh ASWF edition and broadcast use Um, it's it's great to see how kdm live is growing Um, and I hope more people will get involved and just be there as you said So that's the point I as I said before in the video That I produced last year that is a presentation video the There are a quarter 300 40 something at that today. We are 400 and more than 60. So we are 130 people more on 330 so we have 50 percent more people than last year So in total we have a 30 percent we grow of the 30 50 percent but in total we have One half more than last year. So this is the the tax of growing. I would like that we could grow Even faster. But anyway I can't complain personally because If the ratio it's 150 per year, maybe We'll be some thousand in some year, but I guess everything is Exponential a certain point. I guess so it's just a matter of starting. So we are on our way Amazing Well, um, like I said, that that was all the question on possible and I want to thank you again for joining us It's really a pleasure to hear you Thank you for inviting me to having me. I'm sorry again for the mistake. I did when I get stuck with Okay, I think I think everyone quickly forgave you. So have a great rest of the weekend. Thank you Thank you. Bye. Take care. Yes, the session was recorded and will be available


Top of the Sportsmax zone for this Tuesday, though, the 2023 World Athletic Championships in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, concluded last month amidst a relatively successful campaign by the Jamaica camp, there arose controversy concerning the issue of team selection. That topic may ring a bell, of course, as two-time national champion Taekwendo Tracy took to the media last month to make some damning claims concerning his omission from the 4x100 men's sprint relay pool, citing issues of bias and favoritism as a determining factor. This would spark plenty of conversations around team selections in athletics and how bodies and committees go about handling these decisions. That being said, it's a pleasure to be joined by the media liaison officer of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association, Dennis Gordon. Dennis, welcome to the Sportsmax zone, almost a week since your return from Budapest. Glad to have you and congratulations on the fine performance by the Jamaican team overall. But the issue, as you just heard, goes beyond what happened on the track and some disturbing news coming from the sprinter Taekwendo Tracy and what he had to say about the relay pool. Let's start here. He was fifth at the national championship and he's complaining that a player, a competitor who had finished behind him and who wasn't on the team when the initial squad was selected, was placed in the relay pool ahead of him. What's your response to that? Good evening to your viewers. He was a little bit premature in my mind and he went out early and he ran out of the zone, meaning weary lady accusation. There's no responsibility there at all. The men's four by four was four by one was organized by Lennox Graham. How it usually works is that the coach who is given that assignment will do his own assessment, make recommendation to the technical leader. The technical leader have the final say. That's Maurice Wilson. But what he had done is expand that role to include two other senior coaches. So it was never, ever this decision. It was a committee decision. I'm not here to speak ill of Tracy, but just to caution him that he needs to be a little bit more measured and a little bit more factual when making those accusation. Maurice is ill bent on suing him because of reputational damages. I tried to speak to him, ask him to have some dialogue and to see if we can manage it. Whilst there I convene a meeting with Tracy and the management team to get some appreciation for his own view and also to share with him what the facts are. So here are the facts. The first three pass the post as is the J3 selection criteria are mandated by Royal Athletics that they must be in the pool. So you have to submit minimum six and they insist that the first three pass the poll. However, based on the letter of the selection criteria, it is the description of the coaches for the other five because you can go as much as eight as is the US. It doesn't matter whether you are named originally or not because we have seen over time and later would recall that we have used urglars, we have used long jumpers to participate in the relay. So you are in a pool, but it doesn't guarantee you a spot to run. As a matter of fact, you can get a little bit more technical that although you are one, two, three pass the post and you are mandated to be in the clear six, you have no way to clean. It is purely and the discretion of the coaches. Is that satisfactory though going forward? Because I think part of what has triggered a lot of the public outcry is the ruling shows that the coaches may not have done something incorrect or outside of the rules, but should the rules or the selection process be a little bit more transparent and a little more decisive so that in a case like this an athlete doesn't appear to have a strong case because when he put his video out, to be quite honest, the social media response and the public response by what I saw felt very sympathetic to his cause. And you are here to put the facts on the table because a lot of times the public is misled by things that appear a certain way to them, but Dennis Gordon can now clarify some of the issues because I think you are aware that the general public is critical of the selection because of what they are tracing say. Yes, but let us examine the facts. A 65-man team was named at the press conference. There were five additions to that 65. So we actually went with a 70 team. 70 member team. He is accusing the coach of inviting Golsan, so let us get to the meeting. Golsan finished seventh at the championship. And Golsan runs for Maurice Wilson's club? Yes, but I want to separate the issue. I don't want to call it in any way, so let me just put it out there. So he is accusing the technical director of unilaterally bringing in Golsan, which is not true. One, he doesn't have the authority. Two, he could not do it on his own. So let's put that aside. He was not the person in charge of the men's four-by-one. It was Lenox Graham who was doing the men's four-by-one. And there are some factors there. But let us look at the four that run. It is those who finish one, two, three, four. So that's why I started by saying his comment was a little bit premature. The five that Lenox wanted to use, based on seeing them in training, right, was that four plus Golsan. At no time he was told that he's not in the pool of six. He assumed because Golsan's name was in the six that he would not be in the six. I go a little bit further. The team, the confirmed four, was done the night before the event the following day. Because several days ahead of... Tracy was out of the blocks saying all these things prior to that final meeting. What do you think triggered the reaction from Tracy, though? Why did he get this misconception about how the team was selection? My understanding, and this is what I was told by Lenox, that in the first meeting, right, he said that this is the five that I would want to look at. Now the coach can say that, but that is not final until that final panel review and sign off. So he perhaps got a little bit upset that he was not in the preferred five at the time, but in no way shape or form. Was he out of the six? So I don't know what would have precipitated his outburst, but those are the facts. Can I ask, after the video that Tracy posted on social media that literally went viral, what was the reaction like within the camp itself? It didn't have any impact at all. And that is why we quickly huddle and strategize the best way to manage it. And so we called Tracy to a meeting, right? We had discussion with him. We told him what we expected of him and he said his piece and it was seamless thereafter. He was in the camp, he was not penalized, he was not prejudiced with any of the benefits. I went to the stadium with him sometime on the same bus and he was in good spirit. But I think it was more disappointment than anything else. Yeah, he had been some allegations about, like he just alluded to it a while ago, that he was approached by the security and told that he would be removed from the camp. Was there any truth in the allegations? So let's just set the record straight. The coach was doing an interview with your competitor. And he appeared many suddenly in front of the coach during the interview and the coach asked him to remove himself, right? And he stood there and said, well, I'm not moving, I want to listen. So both the interview and the coach moved. The security detail was there and he said to them, if he's going to continue to be like this, I'm going to request that you take his accreditation and send him back to the hotel. At no time, anyone indicated that we're going to take his accreditation and have him thrown out of the village. Dennis, I brought a question here. I mean, these dysfunctional episodes have been happening forever with Jamaica, especially when it goes to from 84, I remember notably the issue over shoes. I think it was between Herman Kenley and some members of the team. Don Quarry. Yeah, it was Don Quarry. And then, of course, there was 2008 when the mandatory camp was being resisted by MVP to know. Is there a way in which the J3s can mitigate the possibility of these eruptions at major championships? Is there something that's not happening that should happen that will prevent these things from happening? Well, I can speak on behalf of the J3. I can only speak in my capacity as the press liaison for that need. But there are recommendations and my recommendation is we should adopt the similar thing as the U.S., where nobody is given a guaranteed place and an early team, and you come to an early training camp and then you take it from there. But the country must also know that there are a lot of variables that goes into the team that goes out there. Remember firstly, the coaches will tell you that they are not paid for relating. They are dear to win medals so they can get paid. The coaches also say I don't want Leighton to run the curve and I don't want Lance to run the back strip. So the coaches on the ground are left with a lot of things to work through, right? Because if a particular coach don't want a particular athlete to run the curve, for whatever reason given, then the coach cannot impose that athlete running the curve. So more often than not, when you see a final four, there's a lot of work going on in the background to ensure that you put the best four at all times. Because we take the country serious and we want to operate at a level, but we have to learn to manage expectation. It is good that you complain that we are not winning gold, but you are still the third best in the world. And that is something that we need to get home to the fans, that the expectation needs to be managed because you are competing against the world. I put out an article in the Japanese media explaining the cost per medal, per capita. And when you compare that to the bigger federations with large budgets and facilities, it is shocking to some as to how we continue to do it. Where we train in Budapest, our stadium is a disgrace to the training camp that we add in Budapest. It had a first-class gym. It is complete with all the amenities that the athletes need to prepare themselves for the event. After our trials in July, nobody knows what is happening to the athletes selected until they actually assemble in camp. They are athletes who came there injured. And the coaches and the athletes will never say that the athlete is hurt and the athlete did not say that I am not well. In addition to that, Tic Bailey, for example, he was a part of the 4x4 warming up and got injured. We literally had to send for Maki Malik who was at the hotel and rushed him down, 40-minute drive, having warm up and ready to go. So he would not have run a blistering leg and then he would criticize. So again, I am saying the coaches understand, I am not technical so I don't interfere, but they understand my own view from where I sit. They have the country at heart and they also respect the athletes and the athletes' preference not to run a particular leg at that particular time. And that is something that we can't manage because it comes down to athlete-coach relationship. Since you are here, let me ask you this because there was some conflict over Elaine Thompson-Hera and her really final appearance because there were reports that she was offered a spot in the 4 and didn't take it. And I saw that rebutted. What really happened there? Because she was scorching in the pre-limbs and because she ran so well down the back stretch, a lot of people felt that Elaine looks as if she is back to close to her best and she would help the Jamaican chances if she runs in the final and she did not. Can you outline to us what that process was? So again, I can't interfere with the selection that is purely to the coach. But what I can do, I can dismiss that she was offered a decline. That did not happen? That did not happen. As a matter of fact, she came to me personally and was livid about it. And um... Lived about what? The statement from the journalist. Okay. And as a matter of fact, I said to her what you should do because it implication for your contract, you should ask the journalist for a retraction. Because here it is, she is a Puma athlete. Puma is there.  Right? Secondly, there are incentive lines when you win medal or you get the final. So the athletes, they are on their job. It will be fool or they have them to refuse to run when your salary depend on that. So it was a very unfortunate statement by that journalist and I'm sure by now you would have received a letter from from a legal team. And I'm just cautioning journalists to be a little bit more responsible in these pronouncement because it have far reaching impact and these athletes and their sponsors. So again, there's no truth to that. The reason why she did not run, I can't say. Again, Paul Francis was the coach in charge of the women 4x1. It would be a question method directed to him. Yes. Because it was his call. Yes. We understand that Dennis Gordon, media relations officer with the J3As, live on the sports mic zone today, reviewing a lot of what happened at the World Championship as far as Jamaica is concerned, mostly discussing some of the controversial issues that happened off the track in Budapest. He's staying with us for the second segment. We look back after this.


Actor George Clooney has ascribed the deadly shooting of roster cinematographer as infuriating and insane. He told the podcast host that the death of the 42-year-old cinematographer Helena Hodgkins was clearly the result of a lot of stupid mistakes. He also claimed that Alec Baldwin and his crew appear to ignore decades-old safety rules used on every other set.

What was it, was there a moment when you realized that I have a problem or did it have to hit you, did someone have to hit you over the head with it? I knew I had a problem but I didn't want to admit to it. I went to rehab when I was very, well not young, when I was early 20s, signed myself out because I didn't believe that I had a problem and then when I turned 30 and still was dealing with it I knew that I had a huge problem and take care of it.

more knowledge then you can have some time to relax but when you are starting I would say that 8 hours study is minimum and one more question how to remain motivated for such a long time for you also 3 attempts to be motivated will be a question what answer should we give there are two ways in which you can remain motivated first of all your long term motivation you will get clarity of thought in your mind and this is something that I want to do for 25-30 years when you decide that you want to do this you just have to remember the reason why you want to do this as soon as you remember you will become motivated as a personality development it was not a burden for me it was not an end to me it was a means to an end today I improved my personality in this way which would make me more suitable to be an IIS daily I felt that I was becoming more closer to an administrator as much as possible so this is the way I used to motivate myself the goal actually is to be motivated the goal is to be clear when you are clear of your purpose and later when you are going to get satisfaction when you keep it in front then all the goals all the sufferings it becomes very joyful if you keep it clear if you keep remembering what you are going to get after this journey so this journey will not trouble you rather it will become joyful that is again very interesting one newspaper reading is very confusing which newspaper to read what is important in this what is left in it and how much time it takes so you tell your experience about what you want sir if you are new to this preparation then I will advise you to read the newspaper for maximum 2 hours and read as much as possible and if you come slowly from this time it will take 40 minutes secondly sir I used to prefer the hindu and the indian express among these two I used to look at the newspaper which I thought today is more content for me and UPSC so I used to read it so this is how I filtered on a daily basis secondly sir so for that the syllabus of UPSC we need to remember if we have remembered the syllabus then our job is to filter from the newspaper what to read and what not it becomes very easy so as soon as we see the issues of civil society or municipal party then we know that in the syllabus related questions can come so I used to take it in the newspaper to filter out so again I will explain what to read and what not for that first about the syllabus you should be familiar with it the syllabus related to you is irrelevant like in the general studies the syllabus related to you whether it is quality international education, economy geography if you have clarity then you will see that the work related to it and as you said it can take 1.5 hours 45 minutes should be good enough some news are like that you can read the headlines you have to go into detail but as you said you have marked the important for you so about the reading of the newspaper basically 15 minutes you should in 15 minutes you should scan through what is important in the newspaper you should understand the title and identify what are the relevant topics for you which are related to you the next 30 minutes 45 minutes you can put those topics in detail you can mark them you can also note them that is very important and when you start then there will be a flow it will work in continuity there is a different strategy for the main because writing skill is very important and there is a limited word space so share your experience with us what should be the main study there are two foundation pillars the first one is syllabus so whatever syllabus the keywords I researched them and made a few notes to understand what these keywords are what they want to say what are the pressure groups what are the pressure groups what is their role so I made notes with this so I had a general understanding what is actually in syllabus and the second foundation pillar is the previous year question so the previous year questions I solved around 2019 so that was the idea that what I am studying whether it is relevant or not I did two things after that the third thing that many people ask what should be the answer writing I did the answer writing I divided it into two parts answer thinking and one is answer writing so the answer you are thinking should be your writing manager because what is in the main is that it is a three hour paper you write very well in the first hour in the second hour you get a little less in the third hour you get as much as you get so I felt the main is more about answer thinking than answer writing so how well you can break the question how well you can understand the question so I said that instead of writing for the sake of writing I used to think by looking at the questions I am travelling in the train so if I know that some question came to my mind that what are the issues of the middle class women so I used to think about them about what is and what is not then sir housing I used to think that what should be the best practices what should be the best practices so as I was reading in the newspaper I saw that you are doing a very good job so you are an avitator and also recognize them so that thing came to my mind so more than answer writing I worked on answer thinking and it helped in developing my personality so all I had to do was what I was thinking so this is what something helped me Dhruv what you said answer thinking and answer writing this for future experience it is very important that the way you think your opinion about it will develop students want to write directly which is not possible so you said something very interesting that in general environment in civil services not only books but in environment because you have to go in that atmosphere so you said that there is a problem in train also so you said answer thinking and answer writing even before and when you start writing to must plan and frame your answer first by thinking that in answer I have to cover all these things and then you write on that so your answer will be perfect so this is a very good communication you have created a proper answer thinking and answer writing so everyone should follow it so their answer quality will be good yes sir there is a problem of word limit that how we can fulfill the answer so naturally this style will be useful but would you like to say something else that how we can maintain word limit sir if you exceed word limit in your answers then you will get penalty marks I have seen marks where minus 5 to minus 15 so for word limit first we have to analyze our writing how many words are written in one line and how many lines are written on one page when you start you will get 2-3 answers you will get to know your writing style so you will get a broad idea that I am writing 70 words or 60 words in one page so that would help because there is no exact checking so if you exceed word limit then you can see clearly that this person has written way more than answer limit so if you analyze yourself then you will get a broad idea that in one page I am writing approximately 60 words so in two pages I am writing approximately 120 words so that would help I got the 21st rank in the civil service exam in 2019 I had given a mock interview at Chenakya IS Academy and I was very happy with the feedback which I received which I think big role in helping me in my interview so I would recommend all those appearing for the interview to consider going to Chenakya IS Academy for their mock as well now tell me that normally students are not able to prepare and sometimes they neglect your experience how to prepare yes sir, this is something that you can score very well compared to other JS papers and you are getting more time than other JS papers so UPS is also expecting that you can write answer well not in rush so my plan was that I had analyzed some years ago I found out that philosophical type essays meaning it can change from person to person they are interpreting it so it was changing from person to person so I felt that this type of essays it is very much possible that this year also came so I started all the philosophical essays of last year I had started their practice and secondly there are some recurrent issues like farmer issues agriculture, health, water, education they are also getting recurrent issues so I had made their notes and I started working on two things that I had prepared and for philosophical essays I had done because they are very broad minded you can interpret them directly in any way so I had done whatever statement of philosophical essays I can break down how many dimensions I can open this is not a philosophical essay but if you are asking what is the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi ji in today's world so I had made their dimensions in a way that the first dimension would be what are the ideas that are relevant today and the second dimension was that are there some ideas which may or may not be relevant today third I had taken dimensions of time because they had asked so I had made another dimension that historically their ideas were relevant even today and will their ideas be relevant in the future so in this way I had broken down the topic in many dimensions this was my way of writing an essay very good you were doing a lot of vertical and lateral thinking in your essay and in this also there are three components introduction, middle and end tell us about it sir in the essay I have seen a lot of students in the essay they usually do introduction start with a quote or a candidate quote and the conclusion they would be closing down the essay will close that you have shown the two sides of the essay and now you are converging your essay where you stand so last conclusion that will be our stand in the essay and this stand it is very important to keep your essay this is right here in the future it will do this or the issues we have raised they will be it will be very much better than the future so this is something you have to work on in introduction and the conclusion in the body what I used to do that the more my essay looked systematic for that I used to do two paragraphs from the page so in each page there will be 8 paragraphs in each paragraph there will be 8 dimensions as I have written the equation in each paragraph the problems and any best practices or the way forward I would give that in the same paragraph and after that I would skip to health in one paragraph I would open a lot of sectors so as you told I would try the vertical and lateral thinking in each paragraph all the dimensions to take it up the selection of optional subject is also a very challenging thing you are a computer engineer student and you took your public administration so what should be taken into account and how did you select public administration for this as you told selection of optional is very important I had the biggest role in the main I had scored 299 in my public administration optional and till now it is one of the highest in my options my GS scores around 530 which is almost equal to all the other toppers but optional is where I have fetched around 20-30 marks more and this is where my top 100 rank so I would say that taking the choice of optional it will depend on whether you stand well and secondly you can score in this so I felt that the public administration optional I read the syllabus once and compared it with GS I had a lot of commonalities so I thought that if I would read the public administration then not only my optional will be covered but my GS will also be covered so that was my way and secondly I saw the questions so I was thinking after understanding whether I can think on those answers and whether I can answer them well so this is what everyone has to do whatever you want to see first you have to see whether you can understand the optional build down the syllabus after that you see the previous year questions whether you can understand them whether you can answer them and if you can do both very good would you like to tell the names of the books that you read in your starting to begin with and what other things you have seen in your reference sir for my public administration paper one and paper two I had referred to two books one is Prasad and Prasad which are about administrative fingers and second is New Horizons of Public Administration by Mohit Bhattacharya my preparation was done with my notes and for that I had referred Goel & Goel is a book so I had referred to it okay very good now let's talk about your experience with the board whose board was your interview sir as much as I gave mock interviews it was quite different from my actual interview my interview I had Rajiv Narayan Chaubey and my interview experience was very good very cordial board and interacting with him it felt like he is a very senior eyes so even then also he tried to make me feel comfortable that I was nervous in the beginning but after talking to him I was very comfortable on the chair so in the interview overall I would say that my very cordial very beautiful experience and this is something that I will remember for a long time from the very beginning he asked me some of the questions so I answered him and then the individual members they asked me questions there were many questions so he said that it is not a problem that you don't know every question the questions you don't know you can very well say that I don't know and we will move on to the questions on which you can answer where I had a problem where I could not recall the fact I honestly said that I don't know and they did not people's perception is that they do great things there that was not at all true it was a very good experience I would say it was a very enriching experience I get the opportunity to spend time with such senior bureaucrats I don't ask such tricky questions overall I wanted to test my personality what are my opinions on various issues all the questions they asked what are your opinions on this so I gave my opinion and based on that they judged me apart from that one question I can remember that was because I mentioned them that I have done some work in education for teaching my rural kids so they asked me that he is a farmer he does not want to send his son to school he is saying that he has to do agriculture so what is the point of investing money into his education so they asked me that if he is a farmer you have to convince him to send your son to school so how will you do it so I thought I will try to answer it in a way that sir we can give some real life examples that there are many such whose background was in agriculture but their kids were educated and went to many other places and secondly sir I tried to give a metaphor trap I told that as a farmer he invests time in his crop invests money and hard work after that the crop gets ready for harvest so if he invests time and finances and resources then his kids will get ready very well so even if they join agriculture then their decision making will be smarter climate smart agriculture they will get loans easily so these are the things I told them interesting is that when you give the answer you get assessment on that the chairman has also told you he has become your selection some people have dreams when they do farming when I saw the impact of education I have always felt that education is one such area where I can contribute as much as I can and the more contribution the multiplier effect will be on society so if I get a chance then I will want to contribute in the education sector a lot of things you have to do but your thought is very clear I hope to see your interview to see future aspirants do relevant pressure many people will relate to you so my wish is that you make a good name and fame and satisfying career in IS God bless you thank you very much sir


What is up, cutie gang? We're back. Yes, we're back for a new episode of Artifacts, the cool stories behind the scenes of your favourite studio, Quantic Dream. My name is still Guy Hanfal and I still don't know what to do with my hands, so let's dive in. And today's item is a binder with papers in it. You might be wondering why would this binder and those papers be so important to create a video game? And even if you're not asking yourself the question currently, I'm still gonna answer it because that's why I am and that's my job. As you must know, the making of a game like Beyond Two Souls requires many, many, many skills. We're talking great technologies, tremendous coding, building the storylines, the architecture, the 3D graphics of the game, using super cameras of the MoCap studio to shoot cinematic scenes with some of the best actors in the world. But we also need this. I know it looks a little bit old-school, but Beyond Two Souls wouldn't be Beyond Two Souls without this. Yes, I'm talking about the score. This binder is the unique version of Beyond Two Souls' original score. Let me prove it to you by singing it live. Definitely believable. This score was written initially by the late Norman Corbett and was completed by Lorne Bulford. A Scottish composer who also worked on the soundtrack of a few films or series you might know, like The Mission Impossible franchise or The Crown, you know. And he did work, we can call it a good job because he was nominated not for one, but two BAFTA awards. Those are the UK version of the Oscars, by the way. He was nominated with the producer of his studio, Hans Zimmer. Someone you might also know as you might be maybe the greatest music composer of all time. Because, as always, Quantic Dream wants to work with the best and with me. That's why this is a very special item for what it represents and also because it's a unique artifact signed by Lorne Bulford himself. It was a gift for our very own David Cage. That's it for today, Cutie Gang. Next time I will answer the other question you might be asking yourself, what exactly is the background? Is it foam? Is it real grass? Or do I live in the forest? See you next time, Cutie Gang.


Hey, Coach. What's up? Welcome back to our channel. Today is video two of our five-part series on how to increase your pricing. This could be you if you are doing private training or group training. And in today's video, I want to make sure you watch us all the way through. And if you haven't watched video one yet, go back last week. Just go look at our YouTube channel and go back one week from now and you'll see video one there. Okay? Now, if we think about what you're offering, okay? So I'm just going to write offer. This is where a lot of coaches get confused about what they're doing because most coaches out there, they want to do things by the hour. And then when they watch our YouTube channel, they realize, well, if you want to be successful in this business, you can't do things by the hour. And I covered that in the last video. But if we think about what you are offering, there's really two things, two steps that I want you to take before you just put your offer out there to parents. And the first, in my opinion, is the most obvious. And this is something that I would do if I was you. And this is go to Google, all right? And what I want you to do, and we're right now in 2019 slash 2020, there's already coaches in your area who are doing what you want to do. Okay? I'm going to say that one more time. There's already coaches in your area who are probably doing what you want to do. And maybe they're not doing it in your sport, but they might be doing it in another sport. And what we want to do is see, well, what are they offering? Like, why is it this expensive to train with them? And maybe they don't have their prices on their website and that's fine. But you can go and study what they are doing and model what they're doing. Take what you like and scrap everything else. This is a great way to learn because this way you're understanding in your city, what is the market like? Because I've talked about on some videos where I've helped coaches charge $800 an hour or $800 a month for like 12 month contracts. That might not work in every city. I mean, that's going to work for them, but it's not going to work for every city. So this is why step one, we want to see what your competitors are up to. We want to see what they're doing and we want to see what they're not doing. Okay? Now, after we do this, then to dial in what we are offering, I just wrote the word time. And what we need to do is take time to understand what is this thing that we are creating and why is it valuable for kids and the parents who register online to pay for this type of service. And this is where I see a lot of coaches get this wrong. They might go to Google and see what's up online and then they'll take five minutes to try to create an offer. I would take probably four to six hours of time to think about, well, what is this thing? And think very clearly about it. Because if you just try to scramble and put that together and then you get on a phone call with a parent, you're not going to know how to clearly communicate what your offer is. You need to know this offer, offer it frontwards, backwards. And this is why we need to take time to understand what this is. And I know in the last video last week, I explained that if you did homework last week, I would get on a phone call and help you with this. I will help you for free. Very simple.  See what's up in your city. See what other coaches are doing and pick apart what they're doing and apply that to what you're doing and scrap all the things that you don't like. And then we take time. We take time to understand what is your offer. And when you do these things, then it's much easier to increase your pricing. Because if we just go to Google and we see, well, all these coaches are doing it for $40 session, you're going to think that you can only do it for $40 session, which is actually false. Because if we go and dig deep and see what they're offering, I promise you they're not offering that much if they're just doing a $40 per hour session. Promise you. But if we take the time and if you want to work with me and actually personally get my help, all you have to do is do this first, take time, put together an offer. You and I will get on a phone call and we'll talk about it. And we can dig through that and I can show you how to clearly communicate that to parents. So they invest in your offer and I can show you how to increase your pricing. Once I understand what the heck your offer actually is. So that's it. Try to do this before you and I talk. And if you want my phone number, here's my phone number right here. Just text me at this number. And when you do that, I will respond within a day. If you text me on the weekend, I won't respond till Monday. But shoot me a text there and let's link up and I want to help you out.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss the question which says that you randomly survey a group of men and women to know whether they like dance or sports. The results are shown in this table. Now you have to find what percent of women like dance in the second part, what percent of men like sports and in the third part you have to find what percent of people surveyed a man. Now let us start with the solution of the given question. Now in this two-way table we are given the frequency of men and women liking either sports or dance. Now in the first part we have to find that what percent of women like dance. Now from this table you can see that total number of women are 72 and number of women who like dance is 68. So required percent of women who like dance is equal to number of women who like dance that is 68 upon total number of women which is 72 into 100. Now 2 into 36 is 72 and 2 into 34 is 68 then 2 into 18 is 36 and 2 into 17 is 34 and again 2 into 9 is 18 and 2 into 50 is 100. Now this is equal to 17 into 50 which is 850 upon 9 percent and this is equal to 94.4 percent approximately. Now in the second part we have to find that what percent of men like sports. Now from this table you can see that total number of men are 78 and number of men who like sports is 52. Required percent of men is equal to number of men who like sports which is 52 upon total number of men which is 78 into 100. Now 2 into 39 is 78 and 2 into now 13 into 3 is 39 and 13 into 2 is 26. Now this is equal to 200 upon 3 percent which is equal to 66.6 percent or you can write 67 percent approximately. Now in the third part we have to find that what percent of people surveyed are men. Now from this table you can see that total number of people are 150 and total number of men are 78. So required percentage is equal to total number of men which is 78 upon total number of people which is 150 into 100. Now 5 into 30 is 150 and 5 into 20 is 100. Again 5 into 6 is 13 and 5 into 4 is 20. Now 6 into 1 is 6 and 6 into 13 is 78. Now 15 into 4 is 52. So required percentage is 52 percent of people surveyed are men. And the simple solution of the given question that's all for this session. Hope you all have enjoyed this session.


This may be difficult to believe, but the Holy Spirit wants to have a friendship with you more than you want to have a friendship with Him. He's all in, are you? We know that the Holy Spirit is a faithful friend, patiently abiding with us and helping us to be more like Christ. But are you returning that friendship? Do you consider His presence? Do you listen for His voice? Do you spend time daily in prayer, the Word, and worship? Does your life say, welcome Holy Spirit? Does the way you live say, I am a friend of the Holy Spirit?


Well, water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink is the main focus of one Minneapolis theater company's latest production. For this week's in focus, Mal Meyer talked to some of the cast members who explained how toxic water in the land of 10,000 lakes is an enemy of the people. Sodhouse Theater has brought the 1882 play by playwright Henrik Ibsen to modern life. Our play starts out very funny, very celebratory, and the issue sort of reveals itself as the story unfolds. The storyline follows the controversy that unfolds as the local doctor figures out that the water is poisoning people. The mayor, her sister, doesn't want to reveal it because if they do, the town will die. It's an issue that the company hopes will resonate with Bemidji residents who also depend on clean water for tourism. Something in the water. Something in the water. I think we definitely take for granted that we have so much here, especially clean water, which is something that some places in the United States are struggling with. It's a hard plot line to condense, but the cast and crew seem to do it with ease. We sing along with everyone, we talk to the audience, we play games in the beginning, it's super fun, and then we take a turn. By transforming the play into a bluegrass musical, the company has been able to shift the plot from light and funny to the dramatic. But they also want to make the music authentic to Minnesotans, doing so by holding workshops across the state to gather some ideas. We were taking that information as long as, as well as the script, and we were writing music for the play. Both Hanson and her co-musical director, Brian Laidlaw, wanted to incorporate the score in a subtle way, so they needed to think about what is it about this world that makes people want to sing, or how can music really be the kind of subconscious of what's going on. But this show is also using movements to give cues to audience members about how the tale twists and turns. There isn't really a traditional stage, so we are in the space, in the outside. Physical participation in the show brings a message home. The importance of participating in your community and being informed about the issues of each community. In Bemidji with This Week's In Focus, I'm Almyer, Lakeland News. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television. Thank you.

United States. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Please. Well, good morning and welcome. I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to be with you if only for a few minutes and I've had that kind of a morning. Everything that I've been in someone is telling me you're due someplace else in the next number of minutes. But whenever I get a chance to speak to a group like yours, I'm tempted to talk about the one program that is helping every American, every ethnic group, and every nationality across our nation. And it's called Economic Recovery. But I know that you've been spoken to by others here this morning, including Don Reagan and all, and so maybe I'd be plowing ground that's already been plowed. But for more than a year, I would like to say if it hasn't been said already the average of 300,000 people a month have found jobs for the last 13 months. Inflation is staying down. Factory orders are rising. All Americans can be proud, I think, of what we've accomplished together. And last week's news and last week's news about the continuing surge in housing starts and rise in personal income indicates confidence that the recovery will be strong and sustained. And did anyone this morning tell you that as of 8.30 this morning announced the figures for January and the sale of durable goods and they are up substantially. But today I'd like to also talk about something else. You might call it the spirit of America. Back in the fall of 1980 I attended a rally that I will always remember. It was held in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty. There were many nationalities and ethnic groups there all reminding us of America's rich and diverse heritage. They reminded us that we're all descendants from immigrants most of whom came here looking for freedom and opportunity. And while our country had its flaws and we still have them the American dream was real. Asian and Pacific Americans have helped preserve that dream by living up to the bedrock values that make us a good and a worthy people. I'm talking about principles that begin with the sacred worth of human life, religious faith community spirit and the responsibility of parents and schools to be teachers of tolerance hard work, fiscal responsibility cooperation and love. It's no wonder that the median income of Asian and Pacific American families is much higher than the total American average. After all, it is values not programs and policies that serve as our nation's compass. They hold us on course they point the way to a promising future. And I'm pleased that Americans of Asian and Pacific ancestry are now eligible to receive business development assistance from the Commerce Department's Minority Business Development Agency. And when we look toward that great and grand Pacific basin, there's a promising future there as well. You may not hear much about our Pacific and Asian foreign policy but then there's a lot of good news that you don't seem to hear about. I think some of the things we've been doing here are very well kept secrets and we would rather they weren't. But our relations with our Pacific and Asian friends and allies have never been better. First of all, it's not all foreign policy. America is part of the Pacific. There's Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, the soon-to-be Commonwealth status of the Northern Mariana Islands and our special relationship with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republics of Palau and the Marshall Islands. These countries are America's partners. Partnership is also the starting of the Far East and South Asia from Japan and the Republic of Korea in the north to the ASEAN countries and India in the south. Our partnerships are getting stronger and mutual trust and cooperation are increasing. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results of our trip to Japan and Korea. We're making progress on security issues and trade and financial matters. Prime Minister Mahathir of Malaysia and I had a very useful meeting here at the White House just last month. And I'm pleased to note that Indo-American relations are good. Our ties with the People's Republic of China are positive and expanding. Premier Zhao's visit in January points the way to increase trade, greater exchanges and cooperation in various science and technology fields. Our trip in April will help broaden the spirit of goodwill and friendship. And remember, friendship gives both countries the freedom to disagree, even to criticize without fear of lessening cooperation and understanding. I remember one head of state once that was accused of there being some divisions of that kind and he said our relationship is like a happy marriage. Sometimes there are quarrels but we're still married. And while we're strengthening our relationship with the People's Republic, we maintain very close economic and cultural ties with the people of Taiwan. In a conversation on this subject with Premier Zhao I told him that I thought that he would be encouraged that in making new friends we don't discard the old. We will continue to support their needs and requirements in accordance with the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. America needs our Asian and Pacific American citizens. You've enriched our national culture and our heritage. You've upheld the beliefs that account for so much of our economic and social progress. You've never stopped striving for excellence despite times not long ago when you experienced terrible discrimination. And let me add that we will continue to fight against discrimination wherever there are any vestiges of it remaining until we've removed such a bigotry from our entire land. We need your energy, your values, your sense of your hard work and we need them expressed at the poles and within our political system. Those who escape depression have a special appreciation for America's freedom and those who fled poverty cherish America's opportunity. So I urge you to get involved stay involved and run for public office. That is another way of helping in this land of ours. On this point I'd like to say a few words about Anna Chanel. Anna is a great leader of our Chinese-American community and a greatly valued resource for this White House because of her long years of hard work in the American political system she is that. America provides many opportunities for economic, social and political participation. Those who participate in the political process can reap the rewards of their hard work. If you follow your hopes and aspirations all of us will benefit. And now I know that my time is up and I'm going to have to leave and I don't want to but I don't have much choice. They tell me I'm the most powerful man in the world in the world.  He's the most powerful man in the world. Thank you all and God bless you. Thank you.


This study examined the factors associated with hypertension control in older adults. It found that older men were more likely to have hypertension if they were aged 65 to 74 years, had a lower educational level, were overweight or obese, and were not receiving adequate treatment for their condition. Older women were also at risk of poor hypertension control if they tried to maintain their weight but did not receive proper treatment. These findings suggest that there are different factors associated with hypertension control in men and women, and that tailored intervention strategies may be needed to address these differences.
