on to our spotlights. First, Isaac, Kusunan here. Happy for anyone else to also jump in, but I just think we should all take a second, unmute and just do a big round of applause for everyone who is involved in the FBM Mainnet launch. This technically happened after our last end result ham, so please unmute and let's all celebrate this awesome milestone. Thank you all so much. This is big and super, super exciting to see all of the people who are now building on top of it. Lots of shiny logos that are now participating and lots of felt coin that's getting deployed, lots of accounts that are getting created, lots of new applications that are now possible. So it's big. Thank you all for being a part of it. Over to Patrick for the randomness. Yes, we ran the second edition of our Randomness Summit in Tokyo, the first being online only in 2020. Our goal was to interact with people building in the same space as us and get to know some other people working on cool random things. We had 45 attendees from a variety of institutions, notably lots of different ministry of defences, but I confirmed they weren't able to bribe us to break DRAN, so it's fine. Some of the cool follow ups that might be interesting are NIST are actually standardizing randomness beacons and threshold cryptography. So we're hoping to make DRAN other than the reference implementation, the first compliant implementation with the NIST standard, which would be very cool. We're planning to host another Randomness Summit sometime in the future, this time potentially alongside another slightly more hackery event so we can encourage more people to actually build on top of DRAN. All the talks can be found on YouTube and if you're short on time, which everyone seems to be, Renardo Davide from the University of Copenhagen give a wonderful talk summarizing everything you can imagine about randomness, fair faddle, secret sharing, VRS, PDFs, quantum randomness, randomness from speed of light via satellites, it's all there. So check it out, there's a blog post coming soon and also I forgot in the DRAN update to say the most important thing, we've got a new project lead, Eric, because I've seen this on the call, so welcome Eric, he's going to do lots of biz dev things and we've already taken DRAN to space, so hopefully Eric will be able to take DRAN to the moon and beyond. Thank you very much. Eric, over to our IPDX update. Hi, I'm excited to introduce IPDX's innovative solution to GitHub Actions Monitoring, as you know, GitHub currently lacks a comprehensive CI monitoring product, which prompted us to create our own. Our solution is quite elegant, we monitor weaponry events, store the raw data in a post-risk field database and use Graphana to generate insightful visualizations. Let's dive into a real-life example. Our main dashboard provides in-depth insights into GitHub Action workflows and jobs. By default, it displays organization-level information and groups results by repository. Users can easily select a specific time series or even reconfigure the entire dashboard to focus on a specific repository. With the flexibility to choose time ranges, granularity and grouping precision, our tool empowers users to gain unprecedented insights. Thanks to our monitoring solution, you can see that a week ago, LiDAR brilliantly optimized the Docker publish workflow in Cuba, reducing its runtime by an impressive 90% by eliminating unnecessary QM virtualization. Our GitHub Actions Monitoring solution offers comprehensive insights and customization options. It gives our tool person a dream, true superpowers. If you're interested in checking it out, let us know. Awesome. Nice update. Testudo. Hello. Hi. This is Matteo from CryptoNet. And what I'm going to bring on the spotlight in my list in a minute is the fact that Testudo, our new snar scheme, went open source. There's a repo there, and there is a blog post which I invite you to check out. It's tiny in the bottom left over here, but I also share in chat. And our design is there, and you can find lots of more details than what I'm going to tell you, but you don't know what Testudo is. In one sentence, it's a very fast, this is dark with a very fast prover, very short proofs, and lots of nice features. But the main nice feature, like you mentioned, is it's universal and short. And what does it mean for Farcon? That means that you got easy and fast applicability whenever you need it. You can do one single universal and easy setup, and it can give you fast purse while proving acceleration techniques are getting better and better. At some point, some design is going to matter. We're going to hit the wall with that. Testudo would be ready to plug in when we need that. There's lots of other things I could, I'd like to brag about, but I'd like to say, so what's happening next? This was the crowning of eight months of work. Kryptonite is not actively working on this, but we are looking for collaborators, external collaborators to improve on our implementations. And there's a paper coming up very soon. Thanks. Awesome. Alfonso, IPC. Thank you. So this is going to be really quick. I just want to call everyone to test the subnet. In our repo, in the APC agents, you already have some getting started guide on how to run locally or on SpaceNet, your own subnet. It's true that there's no, until the 20th, we won't release the cross-net message support. So in the end, you will be able to run different subnets, but not communicate between them. But it would be great if we can start getting some folks to test it and to please break it. We want to see what is wrong before we we release it to the public. So there are some doubts. There's a getting started guide in the IPC agent, consist of shipyard slash IPC agent repo. But in any case, probably we can share the links here and drop us a message in the IPC dev channel in Slack, and we can guide you through the first steps. The UX is a bit rough. So any feedback is more than welcome. We want to improve that. The first thing that we want to improve is UX. Like the tech is there, but the UX is a bit rough. Thank you. Yeah. So it turns out guy is sick. So I'm going to have to do it for him. Current situation, the Falcoin is actually vulnerable to a 20% attack, and you intuitively wouldn't expect it to be so because you only have one winning tickets out of five in expectation. But as it turns out, there are circumstances in which you can, if you can send different blocks, so with a single winning ticket, you can generate different blocks. If you send, if you send, if you generate and send a different block to each of, to each validator, then you can actually confuse people into preventing convergence and not building a chain while you keep building your private chain in parallel. So that is the issue that we're addressing. The solution is consistent broadcast, which just, which just means that you cannot send equivocated blocks, broadcast or send equivocated blocks to the network. And so that raises the attack bar to above 40%. And it brings you to the actual expected situation above. So what does this cost us? And the good news is that it does not cost us pretty much anything. The only thing that we need to do is to keep a cache of the blocks we receive and a buffer and wait two to three extra seconds before actually considering a block valid to start building on it. That also means that no hard fork is required. This is actually an entire client-based change that people can make. And that brings me to, well, next week to the actual announcement, which is the fact that this is already merged into Lotus Master and is on its way to production. There is a swipe bug that we still need to, to figure out, but it's done. And so Filecoin is safer. Thank you. Awesome. Over to Ian for Problab. Hi, I'm Ian at Problab. I'm going to give you this quick, so I want to see Hannah can hear me okay. Problab's mission is to measure the performance of Web3 protocols and evaluate them and propose improvements in their design. And actually that end, we run a lot of systems that collect data continuously. We monitor things like we call the IPFS network and the Filecoin DHTs. We monitor website performance. We analyze DHT access patterns and the performance. We have quite a lot of data. We kind of want to surface it in a better way, but we also want to surface it in a way that gives context to that data. So what we have put together is something just started. It's literally only about two or three weeks old. It's Problab.io. It's a place for us to publish the data we're working on and collecting. Give some context around that in terms of like methodology used to collect it, what it means, how to interpret it, what the limitations are in terms of how that should be viewed. We're putting in data from other systems. Some of the stuff we've got in Grafana and Peretius from other systems. We want your data. If you've got data that you think should be analyzed alongside the stuff we're doing with Problab, then come talk to us. What we got the idea is to bring this all together in a hub and around that, we're going to have all the different things we've got. We're already doing weekly reports and we've got the KPIs and the stats.IBFS network, which is an overarching place, a single point of access for getting to see this data. Come along, have a look. I'm trying to keep it simple, but it's going to expand over time. It's under a lot of work, work in progress kind of stuff. Thanks, everyone.


Hey folks we are looking at the swing trade and Boeing is up over $900 which is about a 30 33% return so I'm going to take it in fact it's going up a little bit more now so I'm going to take the profit there it's about $1100 I think that should be about a 33% return I just want to get it filled and let's see if it fills and there it goes okay so we are out of Boeing on the swing trade with a 33% return thanks


Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering Micron Insight 2019, brought to you by Micron. Welcome back, everybody. We're here at Pier 27 in San Francisco. Beautiful day. David Floyer is my co-host. I'm Dave Vellante. And this is Micron Insight 2019. Jeff Bader is here. He's the corporate vice president of the embedded business unit at Micron. Jeff, great to see you again. Thank you, nice to be here. So, love to talk about autos, IOT, edge use cases to talk about the focus of your team. Let's start there. Yeah, sure. So the embedded business unit is at two points. It's absolutely focused on the automotive industry, what we call industrial markets. So factory automation, surveillance and so on, as well as the consumer electronics businesses. And we're really, and across all of those, sort of focused on how connectivity and compute is changing inside of those. And of course, how that drives memory and starts. I mean, yeah, memory and storage, they hide in places that we use every day. You don't see them, but if they weren't there, you wouldn't be able to use all these devices. They wouldn't be as life-changing as they are. So, you mentioned some of the consumer stuff. Kind of, what are the big trends that are driving your business? Well, I do think it is absolutely that sort of the ubiquity of connectivity, first of all. And then sort of the ubiquity of compute has enabled all of these, what used to be sort of isolated applications to now be connected and doing a whole lot more analytics inside that machine.  You think about intelligence, obviously in the automotive business where safety features and so on are using so much more electronics and AI and machine learning. And that's happening really in every application, whether it's the smart speakers at home, voice control on your TV and so on and so forth. All of those drive more intelligence and more connectivity and then more memory and storage behind that, right? When people talk about automotive, of course everybody wants to talk about autonomous vehicles. I love to talk about autonomous vehicles, but there's so much action going on in today's vehicles. Dozens and dozens of microprocessors throwing off all kinds of data. So, give us the update on the automotive industry. What do you guys do? Yeah, you're exactly right. Autonomous gets the headlines and it will for several more years just be headlines more or less, right? And the real story is what we call ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance System. So things like lane departure warning or lane departure keeping, things like auto emergency braking, those sort of much simpler, easier problems to solve are still very compute intensive and so are driving huge growth in electronics and memory and storage inside the car. The other major part of the car market and the automotive market is what we call infotainment, sort of that center console, more and more large screens going into that, more high function capabilities being integrated in that, whether it's navigation or streaming media services and all of those are driving, again, a much richer mix that's required for those applications. I was at the ARM conference and they were talking about automotive and some of the challenges there. And one of the most fascinating areas that we were talking about is how do you make something that will last for 20 years of a car and make it such that if it does go wrong, that it can recover seamlessly. Can you talk about some of the technologies that you're having in that area? Sort of two parts to that unpack a little bit. First, sort of what does it take to succeed in automotive? First of all, it's all about quality, right? It is quality, quality, quality, location, location, location, it's quality. It's reducing and eliminating defects. Fundamentally, at the end of the day. And so, inside of our process design, inside of our technology design, our product designs, our product manufacturing flows are all designed to sort of fundamentally improve and continue to improve that quality level, right? Because at the end of the day, that is what makes or breaks you in the car. As soon as you solve that small problem, the next problem is longevity and stability of that solution because the design cycle itself is shortening an automotive, but it's a very long design cycle. And then the life cycle in automotive is still very, very long. I mean, the average car on the road in the US is 12 or 15 years old, right? And that needs to both continue to be viable, but also often need to continue shipping that product. It's going to ship in small volumes or have spares and replies. So we have a strategy that's sort of focused on both bringing those leading edge technologies that Micron has into automotive as soon as possible, and that timeline is shrinking, but then also having a very long life manufacturing strategy to continue to provide those for so long. So you're certainly a leader in automotive. You might even be the leader. I'm not sure, I don't necessarily have the data, but what is it? You mentioned quality and those other factors. What is it that's allowing you to do so well in automotive? Yeah, so we are the leader for sure, right? We're about 40% market share, which is a little more than three times as big as the nearest competitor, right? So leader by far really in automotive, and it's been a very long time that we're in this industry and very focused on. So it is about the product mix and bringing in particular lately leading edge technology into that story. We are at the very beginnings of LP5, the low power DDR5 generation. We're at the very beginnings of that rolling out into mobile applications, its primary markets. At the same time, almost literally the same time, we are sampling and providing that into our automotive customers and our automotive partners to start beginning building their systems around LP5. So that time to adopt leading edge technology is shrinking very rapidly. And so we're able to provide that leading edge technology, sort of coupled with that long life solution. And then one of the areas when you think about being in a 40% market share position, we are investing tremendously in sort of partnering with the customers around essentially defining and driving the innovation that they need to deliver. So we have a number of labs that we've established customer facing labs that were able to bring the customers and even our customers' customers, so the auto OEMs directly into those labs to start looking at usage models and architectural sort of feasibility and optimization kinds of things that we could then plan into our roadmap to follow two or three years later after that. A lot of domain expertise there. So, I said to Derek Dicker that, Micron has a very large observation space. You sell to a lot of different channels and I want to ask you about industrial IoT, because David and I, we spent a lot of time in the enterprise and we see a lot of IT companies saying, hey, here's a box, we're going to throw it over, we're going to go dominate the edge. And then when you talk to operations technology professionals, they're like, no, we're talking about machines and equipment and it's like this whole different parlance and language. So what are you seeing just in terms of the ecosystem, how it's developing, the sort of analog going to digital and that whole explosion? Yeah, again, industrial is extremely broad market and it means a billion things to better people, right? So one of the first things we have to do is sort of narrow that field a little bit, at least into specific verticals and specific areas where we have the right product mix and opportunity, right? So for example, in the space of factory automation, it's a little bit what you were just saying, the operational technology guys are trying to figure out how they're going to drive efficiency, drive productivity inside a factory, right? And that is often a question of instrumenting and putting in, Micron is doing a lot of this sort of smart manufacturing deployment. So putting this sensor network, multiple cameras, multiple high resolution cameras, audio sensors, accelerometers sort of sensors and capturing all of that sensor data to drive things like better predictive maintenance, better sort of yield detection or excursion detection kind of capability. So you can tell this machine seven days or five days out of the week sounds like this, but last night at 10 o'clock it started sounding different. We don't know what it means necessarily, but we can detect that and that's where all of the AI and machine learning is now being applied to say. And that means it's due for a PM about this particular portion of the machine. What about security at the edge? Obviously a hot topic in the enterprise on every CIO's mind, what's happening with security in IoT, industrial IoT in the edge? Yeah, I think to some extent security in the IoT I think is why IoT is where it is in the hype cycle, right? Maybe it's sort of still at the bottom of one of these hype cycles, meaning solving that increasing security problem that the cybersecurity problem at the edge is really a big problem. You saw the hacks a few years back of the Jeep Cherokee, you saw the hack two years back on surveillance cameras, all these cameras moving to IP, surveillance cameras means they're now connected and open to the world. Kaspersky just announced last week a report that basically showed IoT specific hacks up seven-fold this year after being up 10-fold last year. So it's absolutely a growing problem for people thinking about deploying, again, connectivity is a great tool and a great weapon depending on how it's done. So one of the things Micron is doing is we have a solution called Authenta, which is essentially a cyber security as a secure element built into the non-volatile memory that goes in each one of these systems. So today, security is not a one chip problem, it is a full end-to-end system problem. And so what we're trying to build with that is the capability at a very sort of lowest level in the system, right where the code is, right where the core part of the system is to protect that in the memory itself and sort of attest that that is safe and secure and then the system can build out around that. And that sort of simple boot device, in the case of a Nord device or a NAND device, is in every embedded application in the world.  It's a scary situation, though. It is, it is. So we think that's a big opportunity and we'll make an announcement later in the show today on an extension of what we're doing already in that space. And are you working with other vendors, ARM and people like that? We are working with, yes. Because it must be an end-to-end. This is really an end-to-end and an ecosystem activity, for sure. Because again, ARM is a great example. All of the SOC vendors, everybody in this industry has some slice of the role, let's say, to figure out how they're going to secure this system. And we're trying to sort of build a basic building block that they can then go build on. Well, when we started this morning, it was real quiet, but the crowd is rolling in now. There's a buzz that you can hear here. The Cube is excited to be here. Jeff, thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. It's great to see you again. Thank you very much, nice to be here. All right, keep it right there, everybody. We're going to be taking a short break. We'll be back, day-long coverage, from wall-to-wall of Micron Insight 2019. You're watching theCUBE.


Okay, so just to give you a background on this event that we're having before we get into our welcome remarks, the Mekong region grapples with sustainability challenges linked to water, energy, and exchanging climate. Rapid development has led to growing disparities, disproportionately affecting the region's marginalized communities. These vulnerable groups bear the brunt of water, energy, and climate problems due to their strong reliance on natural resources. To address these complex issues effectively, we must enhance and expand collaboration among various organizations and initiatives. Today's regional roundtable seeks to close knowledge and policy gaps while actively pursuing equitable solutions that prioritize justice for communities and ecosystems. To welcome everyone in this event, I would like to call on stage our first speaker, Dr. Changrak Tinnagul, the dissemination technical officer expert level from the Department of Climate Change and Environment. Thank you, Dr. Jemai Edgar, Development Consular Australian Embassy Bangkok, Mr. Nile O'Connor, Center Director, SCE Asia, Dr. Sulachai Wan-Gaew, Director of Center for Peace and Conflict Studies, Jula Longkorn University. Distinguished representatives, ladies and gentlemen, Sawadee ka. First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to the Stockholm Environment Institute, SCE Asia. SCE Asia Center for inviting me to join this meeting and to share my perspectives on Thailand's climate policy and actions. Ladies and gentlemen, evidently, the impact of climate change on human survival and well-being ecosystem and the economy has become more intense on religions around the globe. Over the year, the global community has stepped up its efforts to collaborate and take necessary action to tackle climate change, particularly through the adoption of the 2030 Agenda to Sustainable Development and Party Scheme, with the aim to limit the global average temperature rise to below two degrees Celsius, or even better at 1.5 degrees Celsius, and to move forward, the climate resilient development to speed up the pace of climate actions, capacity building of all sectors, along with adequate predictable and accessible support for climate change mitigation and adaptation are required. Like other country, right alternations, Thailand is not moved to the destructive and unpredictable impact of climate change. In 2021, Thailand has ranked the ninth most vulnerable countries to long-term impact of climate change. In addition, climate change cost us over a trillion baht in socioeconomic loss over the past two decades. As a resource, Thailand must exert every possible effort to tackle the multi-dimensional impact of climate change. At COP26 World Leaders Summit, Thailand announced continuous ambition targets which aim to reach carbon neutrality and net silo greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and 2065, respectively, to get together with increase of the 2030 NDC up to 40% upon adequate international support on finance, technology and capacity building. This clearly demonstrated Thailand's strong determination to join the global goodwill to fight the threat of climate change and emphasize the importance of this issue on the top national agenda. To achieve the aforementioned target, the Royal Thai government has integrated climate change into its national development agenda, including the 20 years national strategies, masterpan under the national strategy, the national economic and social development plan to ensure a current move toward environmental failure and climate failure growth in all sector and levels. Three main goals include a long-term greenhouse gas emission reduction consistent with economic, social and environmental development enhancement of climate adaptation and promotion of climate-friendly investment in public and private infrastructure development, the provision of economic incentive for relevant sectors. These policy frameworks are the key drivers of domestic climate action in achieving Thailand's contributions under UNF-3C. We also developed climate change masterpan NDC roadmap for mitigation and national adaptation plan to be the comprehensive guideline for policies implementation at sector and sub-national levels. Beside this setting of those targets and policies, Thailand informed the climate change act to ensure natural implementation and engagement of on stakeholders, which lead to more concrete, tangible and enhanced solutions. We strive to enhance mitigation and adaptation measures to implement on-ground. Climate change is no longer a distant treat. Loan the individual cannot single handily deal with climate change, but collective effort from every individual and practice together to foster transformative change at domestic and international level are carefully needed. Now is the time for solidarity. Let us all take action together to overcome this climate change challenge because only when we are united together is possible. I would like to introduce myself that I was born in Udon Thani. We are all related in the northeast of Thailand. I work with the collaboration with NGO in the first stage that I come to work. I linked because from the Department of Climate Change and Environment is just a newborn last month. So from the Department of Environmental Quality Promotion that work related on the area around Thailand. So we merge with the policy section from the Office of National Policy. We merge together so the new organization under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. So it's like to blend together between policy and practice. So we very, very welcome to work with all groups around the project of the Mac Home River. So thank you very much to invite our organization to join this event. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Dr. Tinagul. I would like to share that this event will not be possible without the support of the Government of Australia. So our next welcome remarks. I would like to call Dr. Gemma Edgar, Acting Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Australia in Thailand. Good morning, everyone. So thank you so much, Dr. Changrak. So interesting and important to hear Thailand's perspective. So thank you so much. Of course, I also acknowledge Dr. Surachai from Chula University who we up at the Hewasa. We're joining us on stage shortly and of course Niall from SEI, my good friend. But of course, most of all, really, I want to acknowledge the real diversity of people we have in this room today. I know we've got people from governments across the Mekong sub-region. We've got climate scientists in the room. We've probably got other types of scientists that I don't even know exist. We've got civil society actors. We've got development partners. We have a real diversity of people here and I think it's that diversity that needs to be acknowledged. So thank you for coming together and thank you for those who will join us on stage today as speakers. But those of you who are participants, equally important as today comes together. So I want to note that in recent years, we have seen stronger storms. We've seen prolonged droughts. We've seen intense bushfires and more frequent flooding. Absolutely, we've seen this in Australia. But we know that we are seeing this happening globally as well and also here in the Mekong sub-region. We know that climate change is affecting and will continue to affect all of us. But most especially we know that it will affect the most vulnerable people in our communities that includes women and girls, that includes people living with disabilities, it includes the poorest of the poor. The climate crisis though is a shared challenge and international cooperation is key to addressing it. And Australia is proud to join many others who have increased their 2030 targets. So our missions reductions target is now 43% below 2005 levels by 2030 and we've also committed $2 billion in climate finance for 2020 to 2025 to support our global partners, transition their economies and strengthen climate resilience. But of course we're not doing this on our own. We recognise exactly as Dr. Chonkrat just outlined, the ambitious targets that others such as Thailand are making. Thailand obviously has its net zero by 2065 target, very ambitious agenda. But despite these global efforts, we know the science is clear that we need greater global ambition and we need more effective implementation. As a longstanding neighbour and partner to Southeast Asia and the Mekong, Australia is really pleased to be able to work with the region to support climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. And that includes some of the work we're doing under the Mekong Australia partnership on promoting environmental resilience. And we're really pleased to be able to work with Thailand or to partner with Thailand on this agenda. Including engagements for example with the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and with BMA. I really hope that we'll be able to work quite closely with the Department of Climate Change and I really do congratulate Thailand on its establishment. I think it's really important so looking forward to continuing that partnership or growing that partnership. I also want to highlight that last year Australia has announced bid to co-host COP 31 in 2026 with our Pacific Island family. And we're really looking forward to working closely with our partners to design and deliver a COP that brings profile to the unique climate change challenges based by the region and to help accelerate global climate action. Because we know we need to work together to address the climate crisis. Everyone plays important roles. Experts, policy makers, practitioners, media all have critical contributions. Those of you in this room are absolutely critical to that and I really want to acknowledge and to make it clear how appreciative and how welcome your efforts are and how important they are to this. So thank you again for joining us. As Dr. Chonkrak said, if we are able to unite together, everything is possible. So thank you to SCI, thank you to Chula University for co-hosting this event but most of all thank you for joining us and thank you for your efforts. We look forward to stronger cooperation as we continue to combat climate change. Thank you so much. Next I would like to call Nyle O'Connor, director of the Stockholm Environment Institute Asia Center. I hope that's better now. Good morning everybody. It's a pleasure to have you all here. Dr. Tinago, it's wonderful to have you here and it's really as we've just heard, really great to hear about the development of the Department of Climate Change here in Thailand. So we look forward to working with you closer in the future. Our friend Emma from the Embassy, it's a pleasure also to be working with you and supporting this program. So delighted to have you and your team here as well. I think there's more from the region. And obviously Professor Surichai, a long supporter of SCI but also a leader within Chula Longkorn. So it's a pleasure to have you join us here today. But everybody else, it's critical that we have all of you as partners in this process moving forward. So very happy to welcome you to this forum today. So thank you for making the effort to come here. So I want to extend a warm welcome to everybody and to see as we gather here today to discuss the existential threat of climate change. And we're going to have a particular focus obviously on the Mekong region and Southeast Asia. It's an honor to stand here before you today to open a significant event where we'll aim to try and identify the critical elements of the regional response to the threat of climate change. And we'll also try and place this regional response in the appropriate global context since climate change demands actions at all levels of society within all the sectors and in all the global regions. We can solve it in just one place. The journey towards the global cooperation on environment and development started over 50 years ago with the Stockholm Conference. So that's naturally where SCI has got its name and we're proud to have developed from there. And 20 years later in 1992, the world adopted the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, our UNFCCC. And from that, it's helped then to work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, in which we have four authors at the most recent sixth report here with us today. So we're very happy and privileged to have four of you here today. So in this age of disinformation and climate denial, we're very proud to say that our meeting is also rooted in scientific evidence and builds on the task of bridging science and policy that lies at the heart of the SCI mission itself. Communications and dialogues are also crucial in the science policy process. So we're also very fortunate to have many people from civil society and indeed the media here today. We need all of you working together. This year marks another milestone regarding the evidence of the state of the climate crisis. Just last week, the UNFCCC released the synthesis report on the global stock take of the Paris Agreement. And this underscored the slow progress on the key goals related to mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage and the means of implementation, whether it's finances or technology transfer. So we still have quite a long way to go to achieve success. And meanwhile, as we look around us, it's also clear that climate change is no longer a distant threat. It's already here with us and we're facing it today. The consequences of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions are already being felt whether it's in the form of extreme weather events, which we unfortunately see all too often in the media, rising sea levels, disrupted ecosystems. And all of this is clear that the cumulative impacts is on the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities. This is not acceptable. So if you do not take immediate and concerted actions, these consequences will only continue to intensify, affecting not only our generation, but obviously the generations to come because it's going to take a long time to turn around. So it's abundantly clear that we must act swiftly and decisively to limit the emissions and to prevent further warming. And at the same time, we must protect the vulnerable populations, develop and ensure we do all this in a just transition process to a sustainable future. This imperative to act and to act urgently is at the heart of our discussions today. Sometimes the enormity of the climate crisis can be overwhelming and sometimes it's easy to feel powerless as an individual. What can I do? But however, I think the collective actions driven by our partnerships is key to addressing this global challenge. And our collective responses to climate change in these crucial upcoming years will determine whether or not future generations will inherit a livable planet. It's quite stark. So the response of climate change requires an inclusive, all-of-society approach. With representatives from governments, businesses, academia and civil society and the media, we must unite in our efforts in light of the scale, scope and complexity of the global response to climate change. So we're all part of this solution and our collective actions are paramount. Close engagement with diverse groups of people and the communities is key to SEI's research approach which we implement across eight centers on five continents. And our global presence enables us to gather information like we're doing here today to share it with other centers and to try and support similar engagements in the world and gather global feedback mechanisms. So today we turn especially to the task of strengthening regional cooperation and fostering effective policy dialogue across to Mekong and Southeast Asia. And I think we have a unique opportunity to lead by example, all of us here in the room and to help create a more inclusive green transition process, one that is built upon shared visions and goals. And we can demonstrate the value of regional partnerships and transnational corporations in increasing capacities and in scaling up ambitions in the response to climate change while simultaneously we also need to deliver on our globally agreed sustainable development goals. So let's imagine a future where nations in this region fully cooperate to share their knowledge, their technologies, their facilitating partnership programs, they are accelerating progress towards sustainable low emission futures. We can be a part of that and it's a future where we stand in solidarity to protect the environment and to ensure no one is left behind. So in conclusion, the time for action is now and the responsibility lies with each of us here today. So today's discussions and collaborations will shape the path forward and together we can make a meaningful impact in the fight against climate change. So the insights from the scientists, the insights from the policy makers and from academia and from the business sector and indeed from civil society will give us an inclusive understanding of the situation and how we can try to address this moving forward. So once again I want to say a big thank you to all of you who have joined us here today and we look forward to enlightening the next few hours. So thank you very much. Thank you, Nile. And lastly, I would like to give the floor to Dr. Sri Chai Wungayo, Professor Emeritus and former director of the Social Research Institute of the Chulalongkorn University. Good morning, Svanteekap. I'm very honored to be a part of this event. As a personal friend of a few people who are here, I feel very happy that we are still alive. I am joking but I am serious. In the sense that we talk about not too distant climate change. We talk about more about health these days. But what we are really concerned is planetary health. Health of humans, health of non-humans and health of our nations and communities. So in that mood, in that feeling, I am very much happy to welcome all of you to our country, to our partnership conference today. As a part of Chulalongkorn University, I am also very much delighted to mention our partnership with Stockholm Environmental Institute. I am very much honored to meet again Dr. Gemma Edgar whom I met at Chiang Kong a few months ago at and a few network university meeting. So in the light of this partnership building from personnel and also organizational level, may I say that from the perspective of someone who has worked in the university, I am so much delighted to see how our bureaucratic system, our national government including Thailand is trying to make the issue more visible, more focused and more collaborative. But these are important steps in the very big sea of change that we are understanding that it demands so much to be effective. I am from sociology a field which is not so useful cannot make much money but it relates so much about how relationships can be healthy. How relationships between different sectors could be taken seriously. Dr. Jong Rak who mentioned about her past experience when we talk about the NGO sector among other non sectoral sectors in our societies and industries NGO if you allow me I would like to call it non-state actor and non-state action are much more demanded to be related to these working processes into the future coping with these challenges. But when we talk again about these non-state actors we are also faced with how society and state relations are to be more understood in a more healthier way dealing with our common challenges together. State society relations in our region and in the world why we have very high ambition to deal with global climate change and the SDG agenda. We all recognize that these several years they are serious evidence based research that make us understand that democratic recession recession not economic recession the democratic recessions and also democratic backsliding in other words are serious challenges in the global level and in several regions in the world. This is a global phenomenon as well so I would like to highlight this part while people talking very clearly about the shrinking space of civic society but may I at this end of welcoming you to highlight the necessity of science policy interface could be very much more important in the light of how to create interacting space which are most necessary and that cannot really be relied on national level alone and for that I think the global and regional level that several of us are here are working could be more tapped into this energy of collaboration into the future. So national level adaptation national level so I think the recent reports from the SDG as Dr. Nile O'Connor mentioned is very clear it's not very happy we are much much lacking behind in old aspects the worst part worsening part are more serious but some part are encouraging in the light of biodiversity biodiversity new agreements on biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction there are new agreements as several of you recognize the Montreal Kunming framework and much are captured by the leadership of several scientific and also business industrial sectors but yet we do need not only this ambition ambitious words and framework we do need more mobilization of intellectual capital beyond the usual framework that we used to work and for that purpose may I highlight the importance of our meeting today in a few days that all of you have come from various work levels and very sectors but we do hope that we also from my experience we do hope that a more regional, a more global globally linked with national discussion and also making more multi-level engagement together across borders can make more sense together and highlight and make serious demands for regional policy institutions to be more active and more engaged I think many governments are very serious but they also need a lot of support and in that light I should like to end by saying that coming from a university I know a university also need to do a lot to work not in the usual silo type but more collaborative more cross disciplinary with all of you so with that may I also express my gratitude for your presence and your efforts to come here and look forward to more engaging states to next stages together thank you


I mean, you can hear me in the back, right? Yeah, OK. Yeah, fantastic. OK, thanks, Dave. So yes, I was the CFO of the World Gold Council. And actually, the idea for Hello Gold started about five years ago when I still worked for the World Gold Council. And the reason for that was, as part of my portfolio as a CFO, I also ran the world's largest gold fund, a $30 billion fund out of New York. And I then also helped ICBC, the Bank in China, launch a very simple bricks and mortar version of what we were doing in New York for the rich, but for the poor. They basically allowed people to save in gold at spot for one R&B a time. You went to the bank, you put in one R&B, and you saved. And they saved it over time. And it grew basically from nothing to 11 million customers and $6 billion of gold being bought and sold every year. And it now has 50% market share in China. It's so successful that Tencent, WePay, is now collaborating with ICBC to launch it at a micro-gold level. And it's even more successful that I heard on Monday from my former boss of the Chinese government that I was told to slow it down. So that's the power of gold. And if you can get it right, how fast this can grow. So I don't know how many of you know much about gold. I'll give you some facts. There is around $5 trillion, $6 trillion of gold above ground today, of which only $1 trillion is held by central banks, which leads about $5 trillion held either in the form of jewelry or investment. Our estimate is that there's some $2.5 to $3.5 trillion of gold sitting in people's safes, houses, and vaults for the purposes of saving for a better future. Now, just to give you a sense of what that looks like, if Hull of Gold or one of the other gold companies out there were to manage all that gold, we would be at $2.5 trillion, the fifth largest asset management company in the world. If it was $3.5 trillion, it would be second only to BlackRock. So the potential of this market is huge. It's not just huge in terms of the people that hold gold, the people that hold cash. And the reason why a lot of you guys hold crypto is because cash doesn't do it for you. But actually, for the underserved, they have no choice. They don't have access to crypto wallets. They only have access at best to banks. And in ASEAN and China alone, 800 million people save cash every year. And they save $400 billion every year in cash. They don't have access to fixed deposits. They don't have access to mutual funds. And therefore, they don't even have access to costless wallets to basically save in something else. And of this 800 million people that we're talking about just in ASEAN and China alone, 500 million of those don't have access to affordable financing, affordable financing that you guys have in terms of going to the bank and getting personal credit. They then have to resort to either loan sharks, friends and family, beg, borrow from their employers to enable them to pay for whatever it is that they need. So the market, not just for the people that hold gold, but also the people that hold cash, is huge. So what we're trying to do with hold gold is essentially solve three fundamental problems that this underserved, unbanked market faces. One is the inability to save better. Because when you hold money in cash, you get an interest. And also, for these people in emerging markets, they're exposed to volatile currencies. We will solve that because gold, typically in the long run, increases at the rate of local inflation. And we've seen that in time immemorial. Gold has the longest track record in financial history. We'll also enable people to basically use that gold as a form of collateral. Now, typically in today's market, when you do pawn-breaking in Malaysia as an example, you'll pay between 15% to 15% per annum. Through the hold gold product, we're going to enable people to borrow using their gold at 8% to 9%. We're going to give them more affordable financing because we can. And the last but not least, what we want to do is enable people to remit. So if you're made in Singapore wants to send money back to Indonesia, typically they'll go to downtown and go through the local money changer, money transfer agent, or they can go through Western Union. And it costs a lot of money. What we want to do is enable them to transfer their gold to their friends and family at home at no cost. It'll be a free service for them. What we want to do is enable people to give money to where they want it, where it's needed at the lowest possible price. So that is what Hull of Gold is all about. Now, we're live in Malaysia. We've been live actually since about April 2. We launched officially in April and we now have 2,500 customers that have been onboarded in KYC with us, saving about 100 US dollars of gold with us at this point in time. And also, we've actually closed our Series A. So we've raised just over 2.5 million US dollars and we're going to use that to fund our expansion. And we're looking to expand in the next 12 months into Thailand and China and then subsequently into Indonesia and Philippines before we head west to India and the Middle East. So we've talked about Hull of Gold and what it does, but actually what's more important is our vision. Basically our issue is that we don't believe that the size, the amount of cash that someone holds in their wallet should be a barrier to their ability to access the same financial products that the rich have or that people have in developed countries such as Singapore. We basically want to remove affordability and accessibility from the equation. We want to basically democratize and digitize gold products for them to save and borrow better. That's our vision. That's our idea of financial inclusion. And we do this by basically making all our products one unit of the local currency. So Malaysia is one ringer in Thailand, we won Thai baht and in Indonesia, we won Indonesian Rup. So what's in it? Why are we doing token sale? We've raised money. We've got enough runway for the next 12 to 18 months. So why are we doing a token sale? Well, one of the challenges, one of the inherent disadvantages of doing the traditional route and going to market the way we're going is that you can't go global, right? With a token sale, with the introduction of a gold-backed token, so you don't even have to be KYC'd as a Hull of Gold customer. Anyone can get it, can buy a gold-backed token and then we can proliferate across countries. So we plan to complement our on-the-ground strategy, which is basically to have boots on the ground, sign up local partners that the local community trusts with a gold-backed token. And this will then enable also folks in Malaysia that are really Hull of Gold customers, if they want to transfer wealth to a person in Guatemala where we don't have operations, they can just convert their gold into gold-backed tokens seamlessly and at no cost. So specifically for Hull of Gold, we want to implement our blockchain. We do actually have a blockchain angle to what we do. Our blockchain angle, apart from the token, is that we're housing all our customer data and our key transaction records on the blockchain because we believe that that's the best way to manage risk for us to protect our client assets. We have huge ambitions to expand our reach in terms of products and our technical capability to enable financial inclusion in markets beyond where we are. For example, what we want to do is basically enable folks in refugee camps in the Middle East to create financial infrastructure. As you can imagine, in refugee camps or in areas where there's war, no one's going to put financial infrastructure in. There are no ATM machines, there are going to be very little Visa terminals. We want to basically enable people to use their mobile phone to save in a currency other than the local one, because in these countries, typically currencies are incredibly volatile and so they want to save themselves from inflation and also to transact. They can still transact in local currency, but it'll just be converted in the form of gold-backed tokens, which for them they understand. I mean, for a lot of these mass market consumers, they don't understand Bitcoin, they don't understand Ether, but they understand gold. And it also obviously offers our customers an easy entry in the crypto space. They get gold, gold-backed token, it's just a tokenized version of gold. It gives them the nursery steps into the token world before they expand into other cryptocurrencies. For our supporters, we are going to give 3.8 million gold-backed tokens to all our supporters and that's about a nine to 10 time return on the initial price that we're going to be selling our tokens for over time. And for the crypto community, what we're doing with the introduction of the blockchain to the mass market is that hopefully they'll prove a use case for a larger base of non-crypto users than typically what we see in most crypto ventures at this point. And also, as Ruin says, all the cryptocurrencies have some inherent volatility and right now if there's a downturn in the market, typically all the currencies fall and people tend to cash out and to cash if they need to cash out. What we want to do alongside a lot of the other gold-backed token ventures is to offer people an alternative to cashing out to fiat. And I've talked about the mass markets. So I'll come to the token sale now. Just in terms of structuring, before I get into this, as the previous two speakers said, no two token sales are exactly identical. We've come out with a different structure based on our legal advice. I think one of the things that I've learned is get your legal visors on board really, really quickly because you want to make sure that you're on the right side of regulation. I've also debated with number of folks how you think about choosing your legal advisors. You can either choose someone that has done five ICOs and they'll have a good sense of what an ICO structure could look like or you can go our way, which I deliberately chose a firm and a team that never done an ICO before. Primarily because I wanted them to create a token from first principles. So I got a team that was experts in the securities market in Singapore jurisdiction because I wanted to make sure that whatever it is that we did fell within the right side of Singapore regulation and I wanted to make sure that they had the experience of what would be deemed a security or collective investment scheme. So that's what we did. I'm sure there are different ways of doing it but that's how we did it. So our structure is kind of different. We're setting up a foundation. The foundation effectively becomes a vehicle for the token supporters to put their tokens in. The foundation then gives grants to the business, Hullagold and the grants, as with all grants have deliverables and performance management clauses that requires the business to report back and if they breach the terms of the grant they stop giving the grant. Hullagold, the business in turn will then create an endowment back to the foundation and just like all endowments there'll be terms and conditions that the funds will use for certain things. So they're two different contracts that are not linked at all. And then the foundation at its discretion will reward token holders with go back tokens as it sees fit. So that's basically our structure. Now, coming to the token sale itself, again, we have structured it kind of differently from everyone else. We decided that instead of raising the full amount in one go, we're only gonna raise a third. So we're raising about $8 million and we've laid out the deliverables for that $8 million over the first year. Assuming that we achieve those that are deliverables will then go back to market and publish what we've done and the market will decide whether they're gonna reward us by buying another $8 million worth of tokens for the next set of deliverables or they'll punish us by not taking up the tokens. So in that sense, we're letting market forces dictate whether we're gonna be successful in releasing our second and third tranches of tokens in the second and third year. So I think, as Ruin said, there are different ways of doing it, I do think that what's important is that if you think about ICO, you gotta think about how much you really need and how much can you really spend prudently for your business and then decide what kind of mechanics or governance structure you have to put in place to keep you honest and to keep your token supporters happy with what you do. Okay, so I think, I'll tell you the things that we didn't do that we should have done now that we know. Well, we had the opportunity of doing this much, much earlier, we kept it very late and so we didn't listen to our advisor either. So I think you should listen to your advisor or at least have a really good reason not to listen to your advisor. But I think one of the challenges of running a startup which all ICOs basically fund, you have day job to run. I think one of the problems with us is that we got so caught up in getting our business up and running that we didn't really focus on the ICO until about two months ago and then we started thinking about it and it became a bit late but we're running hard to catch up. So I think listening to your advisors is very, very important. The other thing I think is that you need to think about how you want to distribute the number of supporters you want. I mean, there are two ways that you can think about it. You can either do big whale pre-sales and basically get it all sold so that you can go back to your day job. But the challenge with that is that potentially if you get the whales in because they're looking for the big jump after the ICO or the old dump and then you have a big problem with your ICO price and the little guys all suffer because they came in with the big bonuses. So, but if you do the little guys then you have to spend a lot of time marketing and you get distracted from your day job. So what we've done is we've done a split. We've kind of hedged our bets. We're gonna have a relatively large pre-sale but we're committing to maintaining at least a minimum, a minimum size of I think 10 ETH or something like that or a kind of five ETH for the pre-sale so you can actually come in. Sorry, there's a maximum size of $30,000 in the ICO itself so that everyone can come in. Great, thank you.


Y254 Imagine How many things have taken place? I want us to look back for the past 11 months since January started as we are starting December and we're winding up the year. How far have we come? What about our goals and resolutions? We always talk about our new year resolutions and the goals that we're going to achieve. Have you actually pursued any of these resolutions? So that is our discussion today and joining me live in studio today is Krugagash, who is an artist, a musical artist. Karibusana. Thank you, thank you Manzeh for having me. You're welcome and it's such a pleasure. I'm very honored. Ya, you see he's ready and I want us to talk about his personal journey and the progress that he's made since the beginning of the year to this last month of 2023. I also want to hear from you. So wo kwa nyumbani, go on our social media platforms which is at Y254TV. Tell me how has the year gone so far? What have you accomplished? Have you really achieved some of the new year resolutions that you set for yourself at the beginning of the year? And we will sample those comments and those opinions as we progress with the show. You can also find me on my personal pages which is at Sherry Blessing and you can share any information that you have, any questions that you have about how to set your new year resolutions for next year and how to look at and assess the progress that you've made. So thank you so much once again for sticking to Y254TV and I think we'll just get into the discussion. We're waiting for one of our other guests who I'm sure will be here any minute. Ame kwa mwa kwa jamia Nairobi. Nairobi ni crazy. It's crazy. Kwanza Jiyoni? Ya. We're just hoping he comes in soon and I guess we'll start with you. You can tell us what do new year resolutions na manishani ni kwa kwa? When people talk about making new year resolutions, what does that personally mean for you? To me new year resolutions is planning for what's to come and being ready like for the unknown pair. So getting it well written. Ya. I like that definition. Kus nivi tuz ni unataka kwa chiv throughout the year. Unadzokunotu anyana semanga, I want to go to the gym, I want to be fit. I want to maybe even get a new job. So people have different resolutions. Where personally, you can say Mwaka 2023. What are some of the resolutions that you made? So, honestly sayze kumbukazote. But some of times we could visit some media houses kaha kwa to amplify my craft. Like kumikshwa being listened out there na piyapa lokali piyana kubalika. At least add to my catalog some more music. Na piya ni spend more time with the people I love and farm and get the money piya. Which is also any very important. Kus when you're in media houses una pata exposure and then atawemu anya we unalan as an artist how to have stage presence, do interviews. Na ata though you're talking about just growing your catalog and growing as an artist. Yoni, some of the best things that we do because I think at the beginning of every year tunatikangatu kukua better. We do not want to be the same as last year. Kilam tula semangat this is my year. So, it's nice that you've said that. But kwa ni okuzi andika though you've mentioned writing now. Ya, siku andika. Some of them haziku hazi jahapem when I intended them to do. So, upon the aspect yaku write things down in Engiliya. Now I know better. And we hope we'll do better. I'll do better. Kitu nili realize, I think nili lana a few years back people write down or they make vision boards. I don't know if you're aware of that. People sit at home and then they make vision boards enya nauna. Let me cut some photos of what I want and write some quotes maybe what's in your stack will inspire success maybe if you want to grow as an artist. So, iyondob maybe nasaidi anga watu piya kukip track of the progress that they've laid. True. I read somewhere if one has to write down your problems vitu zinye una fills in aksumbua you have sold half of them. Nice. So, writing down your resolutions in aksedi apia ku track your progress. I achieve number one. I achieve number two. What should I do in the future in the future? I like that. So, it's better to put it down on paper and make sure you're reading it every now and then. Ya. And do a kukip piya in check. Ya. Yes, you just care about your kukyandika you've solved half of your problem. Maybe if you know to start that. You should. Ya. So, unezatombia briefly about your musical journey. Umeniambia, you started in 2018 and then got serious in 2020. How do you feel like him work specifically umegro as an artist? Umegro tese mikuwa manze. And I like it. So, ya, I started in 2018 I used to do like the hardcore dance na rege rege pale I'm a writer. I write music. I'm a songwriter. So, with time me megro like artistically me melan piya ku rap. It's something I've picked along the way. So, 2020 ah, 2023 me feikana some me keizo places Sinjai, Fikiria, Neyazafika. Like I've seen my music travel places manze. And we like that. And hopefully, nikuwa pwenyuma na fawaja. Amen. Tu naoksidia ku manifestia piya. Kozuna jwefilek saundi ako inezanda global before we mwenyu kumifika apu. Then ina ku introduce.  And then sasa even devene una jipata uko in spaces that maybe ten years ago, five years ago, you will never have dreamed of being there. So, 2023 me keikana the previous year, 2022. Mm. Ah, me me grow. Actually, I checked my Spotify rig up. Nice. Na. Uwana progress in that time. Ya, so, I think, on 2022, I had, my music was tuned in like 50 something countries. Oh, impressive. Teesia, Teesia ima kuwa 90 something. Ah, that's so good. Isn't that growth? That's growth because that's more than 40.  So, that's really, really nice. Congratulation. Thank you. So, I've also worked on my networking skills. Ya. Communication pia na wadu. So, 2023 many funds are allot, manze. Eh. Na, as we were saying ata alia, I feel like, ukifil ni kama umegro, ni kama melan something, then that is the whole essence of you living life. Ya. Koza kuna jawseme, uku the same na veni ulikwa last year ata time like this. So, the fact that you're saying you've seen the difference between ata the beginning of the year na right now, you need something that it's very commendable. Ata izo the raptia, the whole year on Spotify, YouTube na naskizi, almost every platform ikuna rapt. Actually, ata YouTube na naka na awa. Eh. Inastia. Inastia, which is good. na inastia, drug growth. Ya. If you're given fagas ukumpiana, the previous fagas, inoksia dia kujwa maliuna, nanda maliume tia oka. Mmm. Na yopia ni another important thing, kwangalia the statistics. True. Jutu meongelia, writing down your resolutions and your goals. Koza nneza track, maybe nneza angale, every few months useme, e ni me shachi, bhi ni me accomplishi, and then una, una ti kuki, ni kama ni checklist. So you know that feeling of taking the checklist. Ya. Jutu me achive manzi. Ni very satisfied. I think personally pia, nime kwanangalia my resolutions, every quarter of the year, ama every month, nangalia nikole koki, ni ni me baki, koza we have like one month, when you say there are some things that you haven't accomplished, I think one month is, we have about three or four weeks left, and that's still time. You can still pursue some things, na iki kata una push forward in the end of 2024. In the end of the year. In the end of the last minute, you save a month, pia. Exactly. Jokun edzaku se machi, mo kaisaisha. It's never late. It's never late. It's never late. It's never late. Ya.  In your personal life, when you looked at yourself, January, say wukai na umsem when you learned that January first, versus right now, kuna growth, do you see any difference in who you are as a person? Ya, definitely there is. Nasa sa uneza sema, like what's something that unapenda about imuaka, like growth gani inye, umenotiz in yo personal life. Mama lesson gani inyo, melan imuaka wuko like, eh, let's run with this into the next year. So, imuaka nimelan, kut seja life, kut seja wadwe ni na payenda, e alafu wopia ko kukontrol like ko kuki paste of mind na witu zene sezi, kontrol zene na eza. So, Napenda weni wuna drop gems. I like the way you have wisdom because honestly wuna jasengine watu na Afrika out about things that are out of our control. True. To seme weni lasti wuna sema you had 54 countries wali kwa with listeners and whatnot. Suki anza kupa ni kukue like, kini kama ni Afrika peke. So, what about Asia, Europe, wana doa? Yo niki towezi kontrol. So, what you can control is improving yourself and improving your craft so that you put yourself out there. So, that's a very good lesson. And I hope wuki onyumbani yo ni lessonenye umechu kwa takama si personal kuako. I hope we may absorb from this conversation. So, yeah, yeah. So, ko, kulek go of witu zene wizi kontrol actually na contribute a lot to kukuana a sane mind somehow. E na pia wuna keep in check pia na watu eni wuna payanda. Which is important. Na weni ato me bring up your point. Let's talk about your friends like your close circle of friends because as an artist I expect you have fans and so many fans, people who think they know you but wana juwa you as the artist. They don't know you personally. So, within your friend groups and your circles, your close friends wuna feel ni kama kuna difference like as you circle grow na wemi shrink kuna difference between weni waka Elianza versus now? Personally, I think in a circle wemi shrink but in the outreach in a grow bigger like as I said wemi wemi work on my networking skills communication now ato so I think it makes me a better person. Ya So that's it. That's really good and do you think kuna benefit wana jo ato na se manga your networks are the people you know and your friends? Ya ya kuna benefits first of all, senge kuwa paif siga jo kuwa nga na watu abilo atatu wizuri. That's true. So you ni poa I like weni wuna sema wuna jo atu wengipia we fixate on growing our friendships and having so many friends ndiw seme mi na julikana ni ko popular but then we have to differentiate between acquaintances colleagues fans and true friends who will be there for you na wana kujua personally na yoni one thing something else piya ni mela ni moa ka like ko nido ku kusot the type of people in my life na joa I can call you to talk about this wuni biz wuni beshte wuni family And I think you ni piya leso ni important ya kukari because as we get old as time in Asonga you can't call live run your friend True true kuna mtu weni wneza pigeo kwa in trouble na hatapul abmi beata atashikasimu but kuna umse weni la beata kwa melala amechoka but a pickup na semena kuja am here for you so na I like that lesson that you've also learnt the importance of kukategorize watu na ume sema piya you taking time you putting in time and getting to know people and investing in your relationships ya ya you ina piya piya kwa like romance so many friendship tu alafu I think romance suju start about romance side of touch but one thing na joa watu ni omali like that's the biggest lesson neza sema ni melani moa ka mm I like that I really like that you might have all the money lakini if how relate vizuri na watu your things will be moving slow ya and that's important una joa wneza kwa billionaire batauna frienda tamoja so you don't have anyone to even share iso joy na pesa with labdoja kwa na otu ni nakuja for the party na for the money sometimes they need people to vent ya kus you know espetio li kama moname wneza wane wana me before the show there was our camera operator sound operator ali kwa na sema nilimuza kwa jana nambia na film gondja another guy is saying wne kama moname ufa ikusemi so ure itaji boys wneza wneza unginai uki wana Shida or something sindi o that's why you need to know your sako nani ni nani ya alafu piya not everyone na comment kwa kwa jani liking your jani true na panda na kama kwa identify your people ndi wna fasa sa uju e the difference between acquaintance na close friends sindi o alafu te stay suwan bob mali kwa tu piya nimi check ya about people na friendship so bob mali ali kwa na sema truly everyone will disappoint you ya but you have to find the ones who are what sindi suffering format ya it's like a cause you have to choose a cause that you're willing to die for so like cooking driver what to like cc people to change sana na nini but once wme make peace na umtu nini nia kwa aside uwa kwa aside outa kona get stress that u ju uwa li kucheza uwa yaku fanya uwa me fanya iwe uta juwa how to separate this people in your life I like that so right now we're just getting into the progress and the life ya Krugaku Gush Krugaku we're just getting into the conversation we want to understand imuaka how are your goals and your resolutions going on unafili kama kona growth or are you still at the same place that you were at last year so I want us to take a very very short break stay tuned to Y24 TV and meanwhile and across social media platforms at Y254 share a comment ya ko kama kona sualia kuuliza kama kona opinion uto ambi experience ya ko imuaka and the difference unafili between you in kama kona and you today on 7 December so stay tuned we're going on a short break but we'll be right back Y254 imagine


Hello and welcome to the session, my name is Mansi and I am going to help you with the following question. The question says, for some constants a and b, find the derivative of x minus a divided by x minus b. Let us start with a solution to this question. First of all we see that quotient rule states that d by dx of fx by gx is equal to d by dx of fx into gx minus fx into d by dx of gx divided by gx the whole square. So here also we have a similar condition because in the numerator and denominator we have two functions. So let fx be x minus a and gx be x minus b. So that will be equal to in the denominator we will have the square of denominator of this function. In the numerator we will have gx into d by dx of fx minus fx into d by dx of gx. So let fx be equal to x minus a and gx be equal to x minus b. So applying quotient rule we will have d by dx of x minus a divided by x minus b will be equal to gx that is x minus b into d by dx of x minus a minus fx that is x minus a into d by dx of gx that is x minus b this whole divided by gx the whole square that is x minus b the whole square. This is equal to x minus b into d by dx of x minus a will be equal to d by dx of x minus d by dx of a. dx by dx will become 1. Derivative of a with respect to x will be 0 because that is a constant minus x minus a again we will have 1 minus 0 divided by x minus b the whole square.  So our answer to this question is a minus b divided by x minus b the whole square. So this is our answer to the question I hope that you understood the question and enjoyed the session have a good day.
