Thank you everybody for coming and this year was really interesting. We had so many amazing submissions and we're really excited. The judges delivered it till maybe 2 a.m. yesterday so it was really really tight this year. One of the criteria is that we're going to discuss in the panel. This session is a little different from last year. We're going to have a panel with the judges to discuss kind of the state of UX and design as well as and we'll kind of touch upon all these points of the criteria. And our judges I'm really excited to introduce. We have Benny from CryptoKitties and Dapper Labs and then we have Alex from Coinbase joining us from Product Design. And then Gramew and we're actually really excited to bring back Arjun. Arjun was the winner, one of the winners of last year and so they're coming back as a judge and it's really great to see how far everyone has come. And Gramew, the UX design director is not here today but we have Julian who is one of the co-founders of Arjun. Cool, so we're gonna start this panel just kind of talking about where are we in the state of UX. I know we've been talking a lot about UX and design but coming from such product oriented and you guys have quite a suite of products. You have Hopper, you have Coinbase Pro, you have you guys have a new blockchain now. So Ben, you start with a little bit of where you think we are in the design space specifically in Web3. Yeah, it's very interesting. Coming from the game space we have almost more than 50% of the company is focusing on the game studio side. So designing UX and UI for games is much more different from DeFi. Fortunately we spend a lot of time with our top players of Crypto Pities and Cheese Wizards, our new game and we get to learn a lot about the different pain points that they have and the pain points that gamers have or blockchain gamers have is very different from somebody who wants to make a compound loan or use Coinbase. They have a higher expectation of the flow being extremely smooth and so that's kind of like at least from the game side what we think about a lot. Yeah. And what are some of the things and maybe you guys can kind of come in the things that we're doing right and what things we're doing wrong maybe Argent, you guys can start as well. That's a great question. I think we are starting to do a lot of things right. I think maybe to compliment your first question I think this is a very exciting period because the blockchain and Ethereum is still a young technology and I think we are gradually reaching outside of small crypto bubble and I think a lot of that capability is done through improving the user experience. I think especially from Argent it comes from the technology and I think we try to solve problem by the technology first thing but I think this is really an exciting time because we get to show this amazing technology to the outside world while still maintaining its core principle and I think this is something that is very important is to being able to reach to people that may be less tech savvy but still maintain our core principle about decentralization. I mean Ola you're kind of the design product design representative here. What are some of the design opportunities that we've had and what's going on in the space? I echo what you said. Having sat through UX audits I think we came a really long way from you know early big decentralized products that were very much focused on exploring the technology to building more and more user friendly user focused things. We are as comp like you guys as companies we start to focus more on basically solving user needs finding the good copy creating good mental models. I think we still have some challenges to overcome. We still sort of I see projects designing for just a fan of technology but I think we're going in a good direction of putting the user first and having the user introduce like being able to introduce the user to the crypto. So going towards that in your company you guys have kind of one of the most well-adopted in kind of products with well-adopted features so what does design look like in your process there's a lot of kind of as we saw from the UX audits a lot of teams that come in and we're like we don't have a designer we don't know what to do so how did that start from you guys and how does that grow currently in the current state? I think for us design start by thinking about the user so in everything we do we first really focus on the user and to give an example when we started Arjen we're thinking about you know how to manage your account or your keys and we really try to think what's a user experience that people actually understand people outside of our bubble and we realize that the user of the experience of banks for example we may not like banks traditional banks but the idea that if you lose your credit card you lose your wallet you can actually call your bank to get a new one we kind of felt that this was a mental model that that users would understand and so we tried to replicate that first using the technology that's why we build a smart contract this wallet and then adding a layer of UX and design on top of it so for us really the starting point is the user trying to solve the problem for a user then we use the technology and then we use shiny button good design you know flows and stuff like that but I think the starting point is really to start from the user one traditionally I think in an ecosystem where people are very tech savvy we tend to start from the technology we build a cool technology and then we think okay you know how will the user use my technology I think the paradigm we need to be shift you should be okay I solve a problem for users and then find the right technology to solve that yeah you're kind of going touching upon the next question here about users and although we are having this really interesting conversation around how how are people do you find your users and and how do you define who your user group is so you know as you know Coinbase has a portfolio of different products and I both cast of yellow and not cast of yellow and I think what we're doing really well is kind of understanding that none of our not an entire group of our users is the same so we kind of funnel them into different into different places and with having that in mind we actually do talk to our users very early as well we I mean we just had this discussion of like it is a lot of teams say that it is very difficult to find a user group without breaking their privacy and I claim the opposite it's just you basically need to hustle a little bit and reach out to your community and reach out use different platforms ask people to come to your office or just set up hangouts and just talk to your user understand what their pain points are understand what they kind of expect you will learn that maybe your initial assumptions are completely in a different place than what your users really think and I think in our case it's one of the things that big that builds the biggest advantage in how we think about our product then I'm excited to hear your answer because I've talked to your design team and you guys have just started unraveling research and reaching out with cheese wizards what does that look like for you guys so cheese wizards stand from us being in a room and thinking about what is the next weirdest thing we can build both from a technical standpoint of building a battle royale blockchain game and the sense of mixing cheese with wizards so we have that kind of luxury of thinking creatively of you know what will take a loss and how can we kind of emanate that as a project then we kind of go through the step of building really fast prototypes that are off-chain and we like to test it we've done probably by now more than 10 play tests of cheese wizards internally and each iteration we kind of improve the way it looks the way the flow goes recently about three weeks ago we had the last final play test for cheese wizards on the rink B network it was pretty much it had most of the features that we are we have set the launch for next week and you know what we did was I built a battle cage inside of the office and curated duels between different people in the company and not only that we had the use the user research team that was sitting there and kind of asking questions and getting mapping out the user journey and their emotions through the entire process of going through the flow and from that we also we also sent a daily surveys to capture all the information from the team members we usually start with internal then we invite a core group of maybe a small sample size of external players to come and play and we do the same thing where we measure every day and see where we can improve and then that gets funneled to engineering and design then now we're at this point where we've been we have an open beta this entire week so we welcome the entire space here at DevCon and our community to play the game and we have on the website like any bugs or issues feel free to fill out the form and that's how we usually capture a lot of the information and funnel it up to design and engineering and then build those features inside of the game. I want to pull from that like that user research component of it that's been a big narrative this year at DevCon last year it was kind of like mass adoption mass adoption and before that it was like how do we understand and get to know our users better and so pulling from that we were just talking about market research versus design research and the team from cello said it really well which is with market research you might get 100 people and get 10 insights but with design research you get 10 people and get 100 insights so you're going super deep and taking that time to ask them how like not just questions about your product like questions around what how do you go about your your flow like your goal how do you get a person to finish that goal maybe it's like going to the bank okay what happens if you lost your money where do you go and that's doesn't have to be directly correlated to your product because you're not trying to tell them like this is the product that's going to solve your your needs if you don't know what those needs are yet so so kind of back to that let's go back to use like a usability and what i call the responsibility of the creator and so you guys have one of the biggest products you literally broke the theorem but but what do you guys find that for your users what do you guys try to do to protect them or give them kind of the space what's different in the way that you're creating product that you think about um Ola do you want to start you want to start go ahead so is it in comparison to how other blockchain games built games and the way that they built process or in comparison to DeFi or other wallets yeah it's hard because you guys all have so many different products so i would say i mean i think generally a lot of people are thinking about how they build the product so when you're building the product there's fundamental kind of design decisions in that you create while you're creating the product and that has to do with kind of the underlying user needs i think for me it's about of course you make choice when you design a product and you make choice on the app of the user but i think something that's very important is to inform the user about these choices and making sure you're not hiding anything so i think users have to make conscious choices and know maybe the compromise they are making some users are fine using a custodial service some users may not be so i think it's important that actually we educate not educate we inform the user about the choice that he's making and the trade-off that he may he may get from the choice that he's making i think this is something for us that's very important also arjan we believe that there is a border not to cross so there's some core as i mentioned some core principle that we don't want to compromise on and then after that all that goes on top of that is really a question of of informing the users and helping in making a wise choice because it's easy to to badly inform or to hide something and make decisions i think it's it's actually the ux is really responsible of that it's letting the user be informed about the choice that he's making yeah i want to pull that up pull from that and i will get to you because it's there's some ideas around the abstraction of information to avoid complexity for the user and so i know coinbase has pro you guys have the custodial non-custodial you guys have different kinds of users as well how does how's that structure for you guys and and what have you kind of seen and i think the as long as coming from the crypto community i would want to say that let's do i would want to believe that we should make users think it's not exactly how the product works and i think certain features are in the final existing financial system there for a reason so for example account recovery is there because you know we tend to forget our passwords we tend to do stuff that kind of work against us almost so you know thinking about these things as like features not necessarily the sort of old system but rather how can we help users sort of enter the crypto community through or crypto technology through maybe more evolution rather than revolution so we can in wallet for example we have the we allow users to back their crypto their security their secret keys through their google docs and there are there are solutions that are more decentralized and solutions that are more centralized the most important element for us is like knowing who our audience are and like making sure that we're going to protect them and at the same time give them the opportunity to do like to choose where which direction they want to go to i really like that idea of the evolution revolution i think we last year kind of we already see that evolution in terms of last year was like let's put out all the really big problems and the questions and we want to solve for really really big important things around banks and the system the centralization but the adoption that we see there and where that bridge we're almost there but we're trying to design for a user that's users that are not quite there yet they're not that knowledgeable i think that's a difficulty of the moment we are in is that this some kind of tension because you want to build for the next wave of users coming but we still want to be relevant today and so what people understand today is not what people will understand in the future and to give you a good example about that i have a good friend that i managed to convince to use origin and he was really excited to put his money into compound and so he don't lose origins and he used actually because we didn't have fiat to crypto on them at that point he used coinbase to buy some die then he wants to send this die to origin and then he's calling me and he's like dude i cannot send my my die to origin and i said yes look at that screen it says you can send erc20 it's like what's an erc20 so actually on coinbase he converted his die to ether so he could send ether and then on origin converted the ether back to die by the time he had done that he had lost like six or seven percent and he was like your product makes no sense and i think we're saying about understanding our users i think there's also a lot of feedback and we need to be able to listen to feedback so for example for us customer support is very important because we do user research we meet our users but actually listening to the feedback of the users is is all you learn the most because we make a lot of assumption of what people understand what people know that example for us was like of course nobody knows what's an erc20 so you know we need to make that explicit i think it's a i mean it's it's a silly example that i think it shows that as you to answer your first question we are getting there but we are clearly not there yet but the next way what about for you guys are working on and you guys have launched dapper as well and and creating the seamless experience for the types of users you have which are gamers and they're they're expecting a certain type of flow when we launched cryptocities at eave waterloo we basically had we did a lot of onboarding for metamask people came up to us and was like what is this can i download this what is gas and we sat down with tons of people helping them set it all up and as cryptocities grew really big we i think at one point drove nearly 200 000 downloads to metamask and a lot of these people would come to discord and we our discord basically became metamask support for a lot of these players who wanted to buy some kitties and breed some kitties and you could imagine the hundreds of thousands of questions that we have received from doing metamask support in our discord and that helped us kind of understand in a very full picture of all the issues that has arrived with private keys and with like the manual controls of gas and looking at the gas station and making the right selection and so dapper wallet we've been working on it for about nearly nine months now it's a smart contract wallet and it's built from the ground up in terms of rethinking how key recovery works and actually the dapper team the dapper wallet team is embedded in the nba team now the nba team as you know we're building a basketball game for 2020 and we have access to you know we have access to a lot of the fans and getting a deeper understanding of are these fans of nba even thinking about digital collectibles or true item ownership and as with anything that we do we always start off with the users as julian said and we have thousands of conversations on a monthly basis and that really helps us as a company get built this obsession of like hey this is not very good maybe we should change this right a prime example was we call smart contract wallets now or smart wallets it's a simpler term back i don't know six months ago everyone's saying multi signature or multi-sig and when we did user research people were just like what is multi-sig like what is a multi-sig wallet and what is a metamask and we even drilled down to each individual word that we use we invite people into our offices and we just get really blank faces all the time we're like oh okay they don't really understand this word and that really helps us like kind of sit in their shoes and design something from their perspective and so with dapper one of the things that we built was the subsidizing gas for the users so for if you play cryptic kitties or any of the dapper labs games or the dapper labs partners partners the people that your players don't have to worry about paying gas we've completely eliminated that and we actually even changed the word gas to network fee because through research people just like it very confused about like why am i putting gas in my wallet it makes no sense so yeah that's kind of all the reference points that we have as a company and so how we start the process of designing something that people could actually use yeah i want to think about that a little bit the one thing that i want to say is that design is not about design it's a building product is sort of like this this whole a whole that contains of like three parts business technology and design and when you take away one of it your product will not be uh you're basically going in the wrong direction you're probably there's a higher chance that you're going in the wrong direction and so what i really like about what we do at coin race is that the these three functions uh gathered together very early on in the before every feature every product that we start and we actually go through the market fit the technology and what do our users want sort of trying to balance the new products having that in mind and again design is not necessarily about you know pixels that you do it's it's the user experience that your users well i want to say experience but yeah but we'll go through when interacting with your product and i think we'll see a lot of that but i think going through the judging as well it's like there's so many amazing beautiful products um and and the judges are really good about what is actually useful what is the problem is there a problem that the product is solving and if so are they clearly figuring out the depths of that problem i think arjun for you guys you guys started with that problem right and do you want to touch upon that can you say that again uh did you want to do you want to say some repeat that sentence um with with kind of the starting with a problem part of it um you guys kind of formulate that you touched upon it earlier earlier in the talk for you guys how are you uh does that problem also evolve as people are getting more knowledgeable about the space or do you see that as kind of the core problem i think yeah what we think is that you need to build your product for users and it needs to solve a problem for the users so i think also in yeah in this space we are often excited about the technology but i think a lot of people outside of bubble do not care too much about decentralization they will not care about these these principles so we need to be able to find a problem that we solve for users i think people will come to the blockchain if it solves a problem that cannot be solved by different technology and i think it needs to solve it by a 10x factor at least for people to actually actually work that switch so clearly for the moment being a wallet you are solving a problem for the current ecosystem because most people don't know that but what we believe is that the blockchain will solve people a real problem for for all people of course i think that's the common vision that we are we are all sharing here so we are really trying to kind of anticipate this problem and for us it's about laying the foundation i think if you make that analogy between the blockchain and the internet for example at the early days of the internet people had to write common lines and you have to understand tcpip and and then suddenly people came up with the idea of a browser and then you have a nice interface and you click on button and then it becomes much more usable by by all people and i think for the internet the user is not but the the browser is not what make the internet go wrong i think it came afterwards it came by the fact that there was no native payment in the browser and so people had to go to to marketing and and ads and that's what kind of corrupted the internet but so i think it's it's also shows that by making the right technological choices now we are preventing i think our technology to go in the wrong direction in the future i think with the internet they made some mistakes and personally i think it becomes because of payment the lack of native payment in the internet stack and i think it is kind of our responsibility now to make sure that we build a technology that doesn't reproduce the same mistakes so without we're just wrapping up this panel thank you guys for sharing your insights now we're going to move on to the ceremony where we're going to be awarding the winners so first this year we've got the most adorable crypto kaiyu crypto kitties and they're physical trophies this time and they're actually with it nft and they have special powers which is ux invented in their genes so thank you for crypto kaiyu for participating and working with us on this we're excited you guys will see the trophies a little in a few and with that bennie is gonna sorry with julian is going to introduce the first winner so yeah i'm very happy to announce that the first winner is ramp instant i think ramp is a is a company that sounds a very complicated problem which is going from fiat to crypto and unfortunately i wasn't part of the discussion but i received their feedback but as they're you know as knowing the product i think what they do extremely wide what right and it's a value that we share is that they abstract the complexity of a very difficult problem without compromising on some core principle so they managed to maintain decentralization into the way they tackle fiat to crypto which is which is quite quite impressive okay with that i'll introduce hi thanks really excited to be here so at ramp we try to solve crypto onboarding and or at least a very important part of it crypto onboarding consists of first we think that it has two very important parts first is getting your crypto and second managing your keys there are many companies that manage your keys very well and we are pretty close to getting this problem solved but crypto onboarding with like actually purchasing crypto is still complicated so first it's complex think about going to a dab that you love and just want to use but actually having to go to a an entirely different interface in order to purchase your crypto think about the chair and with users if you are a dab that is actually targeting a mass user and trying to get crypto to mass adoption and then getting to send them or relating them to some third party website in order to purchase your crypto and then imagine how many of your users like normal typical users who are used to one click everything with churn and just turn away second it's intimidating so why do you need my passport why do you need my id why do you need my car license car driving license we also think that this turns away a lot of users who just want to casually try crypto for the first time and it also creates a lot of churn three it's time-consuming that's self-explanatory four it is scary we hear about crypto exchanges collapsing all the time and this is a problem that you can really solve with smart smart contract infrastructure so what we thought is to build an a crypto on-ramp built on smart contract entirely peer-to-peer and custodial less but really if you build some cool tech you need to think about the end users you need to base your development or on empathy it's not enough to build a cool tech you need to wrap it with an enjoyable user interface to create this delightful experience so first ramp instant is a widget that you can implement into your dApp today or if you run if you build a wallet we are also we are also we also think that this is a great way to onboard your new users into crypto so it a ramp instant becomes part of the flow of your dApp second with it connects with your bank and this solves kyc issues most of our users can do their purchases without scanning their license or passport three we let users keep control so we do not ask them for their credit card we do it via banking interface and every transaction needs to be confirmed by the user inside the banking interface you will see that in a moment and first and foremost it is based on smart contracts and maintains an escrow for each and every transaction that you initiate so you do not need to fear about your transaction coming through and it is not as scary as using a centralized exchange so when it comes to design process we thought that it is very important to actually talk with users and to do an interactive process when you prototype user test and repeat prototype user test and repeat and by the way there is a cool tip if you want to supercharge this process talk with deep work studio they structured our designing process charlie is there big round of applause to charlie and yeah so today you can enjoy ramp instant on your phone and on your desktop it is a standalone crypto onboarding app but you can also implement it into your DAB or wallet it's sweet it's very simple to use i hope we can we can get this video to work yeah it works so in this flow you connect to your bank account and you create an instant payment this instant payment gets initiated inside the actual banking app you authorize it inside the banking app and just after minutes the payment is confirmed and you can expect your crypto to reach your user within three minutes or less so that's ramp instant you can actually use it today go to ramp.network that's ramp.network or scan this QR code and we can get you ready to implement it in just minutes it's 17 lines of code very simple as decay we handle all of it liquidity regulatory and parts of the interface because we provide a widget that is co-branded with your brand thank you next we're excited for all that to introduce three bucks three bucks for that for the last three days we heard a lot this comparison of ethereum projects to lego blocks and three box comments component comments component is exactly that it's tiny inconspicuous block that has a little bit of technology ux and ui it's probably cannot bury the weight of your construction by itself but we think that in the you will find this component in a lot of projects in the future welcome and congrats cool thank you all right great the video is just gonna run hi i'm michael from three box at three box it's our mission to make it really easy to build better apps personally like we've been around the space for a while and just got tired of seeing dabs be limited to buy sell transfer and limited only to on chain interactions and so we saw that there was a huge opportunity for making more interactive applications with real-time data that lives off chain on ipfs and in distributed networks and so at three box we we built a system that enables devs to make better use of these p2p technologies to manage the data for their application and what you see here is a comments component like ola said it's the goal here was to make it as easy as possible to add a disgust like functionality to your application and you can drop this anywhere like basically on any website that has web 3 and some of the cool things that we did with it were trying to think of how we can handle authentication and how do you pass the web 3 provider to the component and so there are three options here which i think we're probably running through in the video but yeah you can log in directly to the component so the application itself on a global state doesn't need to handle the provider the component can accept the provider from the global application state and you can do that in two ways like one when the user first onwards to your site you can authenticate them to three box and what that does is it actually opens up a local ipfs and orbit db node right in the browser and syncs out and collects data from the rest of the network so it's local first it can run offline and just makes it super simple to get started like there's no extensions that users have to download or plug in it just runs and so you can see that there's also profiles on here so outside of the comments component three box offers three box js stk which makes it really easy to it provides a developer interface to add profiles distributed storage and messaging to your application and so this uses specifically the profiles and the messaging apis and so this actually wraps our three box sdk and also what's cool here are we use ethereum keys for authentication and signing but we have a did method a decentralized identifier method under the hood and so in the future we can extend this to all the different ethereum keys that you have across all of your different wallets while maintaining the same profile and the same data and then taking that a step further you can also think about extending that to other chains and other shards and you know even web 2 authentication methods as well so the goal is always to have data follow you around the web and not be trapped in any sort of centralized silo or service and three box actually lets you do that in a real way that's simple and so i'm excited that you're excited about the comments component we really hope that this is a useful tool and we're making other plug-ins so this isn't the only one we have a profile hovers plug-in which if you hover over these profiles here you'll see like a little modal that pops up kind of like twitter that shows you additional profile metadata and in a week or two we'll be releasing a chat box component plug-in and that really lets you add like a global site wide chat like a troll box to the corner of your site all built on p2p tech using our profiles and apis so super excited thank you um and look forward to chatting with all of you yeah and next we have benny introducing zarian all right who here has created a cdp raise and hence okay cool defy is the future but it's complicated because you have to create go over here for a compound loan you go over here for a cdp so we're really excited to announce the final winner which is zero on they've done a great job in making it extremely easy for you to create an account and go to all of these different defy services so we're really excited for them to be the winner thank you thank you benny hello it's it's really an honor to be here and we are super excited about zarian to present zarian to you i'm yuvgeny and what we believe in zarian is actually that users should own and control their assets and also we think that financial access should be universal so given that in mind we we have designed zarian to be first a non-custodial bank for defy and second it allows you to access all different defy protocols in a single place so i'm going to show you the demo of how zarian looks just like a typical flow that people will see while using zarian so first you you'll need to connect your any of your wallet we support all wallets like all mobile wallets and metamask and ledger then you can see all your assets on the account as an end and the performance over time we have integration with free box so it shows your free box profile on the top and yeah so then you'll be able to see all your uniswap pull tokens as well and we even have a mobile app that allows you to track your portfolio like your defy portfolio on the go next i'm going to show you how you can easily swap one ether let's say like to buy a hundred die through zarian and you can that happens through uniswap and and it directly goes to the uniswap contract you confirm the transaction in the wallet that you have connected and you can easily see how it's see like right now it's pending in the history tab we will show you all the history in history we show the transactions in a really user friendly form for instance like that's adding liquidity to uniswap or all the trades and like all you receiving money from other people so once it's mined you're gonna get a push notification as well and so this interface can act as a complete replacement of your like let's say my ether wallet or other things like that then once you get some die you can instantly go to compound and purchase and put money into compound to start earning interest right away that's again a super seamless flow yeah so this is mainly it about zarian come and try check it out yourself i hope you love it and uh yeah thanks thanks so much again thank you thank you and we wanted to give uh one runner up aragon they did win last year as from last year but we you've got to check out this great video the the mental models were exactly how users sort of expect them to be the copy especially like in bigger projects were so well um so detailed and so well thought out um that's all three of them like all three of them made a really great job in and made a really big pro with aragon example they made a really big progress in where they were a year ago so yeah i think that's maybe what the judges have struggled with the most was there's so many that applied last year and the progress that they've made and so aragon we definitely wanted to kind of showcase some of the new design systems that they they built so with that thank you everybody thank you to ethereum foundation and thank you guys all for sitting here and coming


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss the question in which two diagrams are given to us. This is the first diagram and this is the second diagram. Now we have to tell that which of the following figures is a translation and dilation. Describe the translation and dilation in the respective figures. Now let us start with the solution of the given question. Now in the first figure two correlators are given to us. That is the quadrilateral h i j k and the quadrilateral h dash i dash j dash k dash. Here both the correlators are of same size and shape and the figure has not turned. So this type of transformation is called translation. And here the quadrilateral h i j k has transformed to the quadrilateral h dash i dash j dash k dash where the point h has moved to h dash, point i has moved to i dash, point k has moved to k dash and point j has moved to j dash. Now here the point h has moved to h dash moving three units to the left and then six units up as here each block is representing one unit. Similarly i has moved to i dash moving three units to the left and six units up and in the same way j and k have moved three units left and six units up. So we can say the quadrilateral h i j k has been translated to the quadrilateral h dash i dash j dash k dash after a translation of three units left and six units up. Now let us see the figure two. Here the purple image is a dilation of black image with center region and it is an enlargement. Now we find the scale factor. Now here we can see that coordinates of vertices of black figure are three three minus two three minus three minus three to minus three and coordinates of vertices of purple figure are nine nine minus six nine minus nine minus nine minus nine. Now here you can see that if we multiply the coordinates of black figure by three then we get the coordinates of purple figure. For example let us take the coordinates three three and then multiply it by three. It will give us the new coordinates nine nine and these are the coordinates of the purple figure. Similarly if we multiply other coordinates of black figure by three then we will get the coordinates of purple figure. So we can say that each coordinate of black figure is multiplied by three to get the coordinates of purple figure. So here clearly the scale factor is three. Now here as the black figure is enlarged to get a purple figure so here enlargement factor is three and the purple figure is the violation of black figure with center edge origin. So this is the solution of the given question. That's all for this session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.


Hey, this is Michelle Getzinger here and I'm at Zephaniah 317 Project, which is a non-profit here in New Kensington And they're doing amazing things for the community So Zephaniah 317 Project is really cool on multiple levels And I'm gonna go ahead and introduce you to the founders and the board members here. Okay My name is Hopeton Thompson. My name is Roy. My name is Jackie Hordick and hope and tell us a little bit about what this non-profit does This is an interesting non-profit. It's a conceptual idea in that what we do is we really focus on the local community We help individuals to get their lives back together. We work with other non-profits in the area I think St. Vincent de Paul is one of them and a few others We like to focus on the the more spiritual aspect or the that part of it in that If you're an if you know somebody who needs help or is in need of stuff or is just transitioning From a bad situation and they need furniture or they need What would you call them? Appliances and things of that nature You know you go talk to your past you let them know what's going on your pastor kind of says okay here You know here's a reference you've been counseling and that kind of stuff And it's sort of greatly reduced cost or even free depending on your situation So we support the small local churches or even larger ones you come you let us know and we're more than happy to help you out With that being said if you're looking to get rid of some furniture this non-profit will come and they can pick it up and bring it over here help you move it and They then in turn use it for donations and they have another Another project that they work on to if you have extra Materials you pack it in the container and you send it overseas to missionaries correct. Yes, that's correct we Also try to extend Zephaniah in other countries to do the same thing we're doing because initially We started with no money so the board members and people raising the funds every week we put $10 per person And that money, you know gets you such substantial amount but nonetheless we involve other countries because the other non-profits in the other countries like Nigeria Cameroon and Dominican Republic they try to contact us Uganda to help them out, you know Financially we don't have the finance so we empower them to do exactly the same thing we've been doing We started with nothing and we're raising money just the board members and that money is going a long way It's been a wonderful blessing and pleasure to be able to come alongside with the other members of Zephaniah Not only do we provide the household items and the material products that Our people we want but we also provide them spiritual support And it's a blessing to be able to encourage them to see how their lives change when they have an opportunity To make a step up for their own selves and to further on their their homes and their lives and their families So we're here a lot as Hopten said spiritually as well as Physically providing those needs. Okay, so some of the donations that they're looking for our larger household appliances couches tables glassware Appliances they'll take they'll also take clothing, but they'd like it to be in a separate bag and please no trash So when you do give them a call Just we'll set up a time to come out and take a look at it So they know how many guys to pick it up donation wise I mean if you take a look around the story, you'll see all different Assortments of household furniture. We have couches. We have lawn chairs. We have whatever it is The issue is we really can't take stuff that's unusable because that becomes a problem to us And I mean we're a nonprofit and we're the ones who are actually donating we have no outside donors And so we're paying for it. We can't afford a dumpster So if it's stuff that's unusable, please, you know help us out and you know understand that On the second part of that is if you're staging a home or something like that and you want to use some of the furniture here Please come take a look We're more than happy to help you out with that and again, you know We can take that stuff back and we can resell it and or sell it I should say and utilize it in other ways So it's a help help, you know, you're helping us and we're helping you and what a transformation New Kensington is going through right now and it's all seems to be for the better They've done a lot for the community and you guys are doing a lot for the community as well Which is great So the location here is on the main street And we're going to put all the information down below In the link and please come over and check out the store. And if you'd love to volunteer, we'd love to have you Okay, and from all of us to all of you. Thank you.


Welcome to Toffy TV, I am joined by Everton legend Peter Reed. Lovely to see you, Reedie.  It's about memories of this, of playing here. Just with a couple of lads in there, she had a big handy. It was always good to see snuds in Pat Van Den Hau, so it's nice. And I've got to admit I've had a bottle of water. What did you make last season, Peter? We were really positive in the summer, and it didn't quite play out like that. I think when the new owner come in, or the major shareholder, Mr Mishiri, I thought, very positive. I had worn them bells when we bought similar players. I thought you bought similar players into the team. Obviously the start wasn't great. I was thinking football when I was watching early doors. Cwmanside played with a slow tempo. I understand ball retention and possession, I'm all for it. But sometimes you've got to let them know that you're about and get that team. I always thought it wasn't the way I wanted it to play. Obviously they changed it. Big Sam came in, he was a big pal of mine. I think it got results and it wasn't pretty. The only criticism I'd have of Sam is that once we were safe, in my opinion, we should have gone for it in games, especially at home. I think this stadium is a stadium where you want to get the crowd behind you and people off the feet. Listen, when you're safe, why not do that? I don't think you really got everything. I know Sam really well. I'm setting football clubs of certain fits. I think Howard Kendall said this place is a marriage made never for him. I don't think it was a marriage made never for Sam. I'm trying to put it in the most diplomatic way I can. Obviously the board of directors and the new owner decides to change it. Brand comes in as a director of football, which is a European model. It looks like he might be buying most of the players. I think the coach has got to have an input in that. From the press conference they looked as though they were singing off the same sheet. Like you just said, it is relatively well, isn't it? We've had Steve Walshon and Coom and that didn't really seem to work. I can't remember ever actually seeing him in the same press conference. We're already one up on that. And there was a bit of uncertainty amongst the fans who was buying the players. I still am certainty now. I mean I don't know. That's something that I always think football clubs when they're successful and I've been at football clubs when they're successful. I write at the top and then I write with the management staff and the playing staff. And the old football club should be what's on the brochure. A football club all together. And you can't do anything unless that's the case. What do you think looking at the team and obviously Marco Silva is coming now? He's been very successful in Europe. He's had a little bit of a mix pack in England.  I'm going to make feeling knowing I knew I was trying to get transfer funds. I didn't get them. I think it's fair to say Marco Silva got them in the January. So that's nothing against Marco Silva. I'm just trying to protect make feeling here. So no, that's the case because I think English coaches or British coaches get the short straw sometimes. So that's one I want to put out there. But it didn't, I mean, Wofford did it. It didn't go well. It started really well. I remember at Wofford, they were in the lead in a majority of games and just couldn't hold on for whatever reason. So, but, hey, listen, they decided on Marco Silva and everybody around, around the football club, and I mean, supporters more than anything, I've got to get behind them because that's the way it is. You've got to get behind the manager new regime and hopefully it goes well. What do you think on the team wise? What do you think Evan really need? Because without saying 11 new players, you know, what areas do you think? I don't like disrespecting players because it's hard out there. But I mean, I don't, I'll give you an example. Wayne Rooney, fantastic player. Sigarton, classon. Now, did they play in the same position? Yeah, you just cannot do that. I would like more strength, physical strength at pace. I mean, I know you've got to pass the ball retention and picking them passes is very, very important. You know, you'll have a look at the broon in place of Manchester City and he sees passes that, you know, you say great and the great Allen Ball used to do it here. You know, see passes and that's what, that's what, you need that physical and that pace because nowadays, tactically, teams are better nowadays. You know, they drop off so you've got to try and feed things through, but I think sometimes you've got to be playing a high tempo and get at them. Now away from home, if you are going to drop off possession, you've still got to have that pace to get over the top. So I think that's pace and power with the new signings for me. And if I've got one, it would be one thing that worried me about Everton over the last few years is there like a pace instrument in the side and the tempo, the game's player. Just like you mentioned, Wayne Rooney there, just very quickly, looks as though he's going to move on to DC United. Do you think that that's the right decision or can you understand why you may take that decision? I think, I feel sorry for the Evertonians because he's one of our own, he mad blew himself and we've seen him when he was a youngster here and he was a different class. We didn't see the best years of him for obvious reasons. He went up Manchester United. I don't blame him for that because he kept the club going with the fee we got, but he's come back and you've got to say he's passed his best. It happens to us all, but he's been a great ambassador for the English football and I just ain't bad away. He scored more goals than anyone else for us. See, when he had a chance to pick a pass, he could pick a pass, but on the other side, can you afford a luxury player who you might think is he passed his best? That's it. I've seen him play on the park and he's made things happen. He's scored goals, but then I've seen him look really leggy and get frustrated.  It happens to us all. Thank you very much, Peter. Thank you very much, Peter.


You got to try to throw in another leg that isn't always the best idea All right, but again, we're stepping through all the reaction. We could possibly see And I got the question what if I'm pushing back to my hip smash strong position What keeps them from stretching me out and and put me on my back or rolling me through me keeping my core flexing my chest low All right, that's why when I'm pushing back. I'm getting my chest super low I'm blocking here because I know he wants to pull me and stretch me out. Yeah, I got to get my chest low All right at no point should you feel okay doing that? Yeah That's tough. Okay. I'm getting low cross rake seal. Now. I'm in pretty good shape Now a lot of times when I drop and clear this foot make sure I'm stepping and then blocking with this knee So I can't come back in a lot of times when we block this bottom knee He'll throw that top boot in kind of as a safety to kind of scoot and control Again, I'm going palm out Now when I go palm out this time and attack the foot. I'm taking his foot straight to his head Okay, taking his foot straight to his head. All right.  I talked a second ago about when I take one of his feet and put it towards his head What direction does he go? To his back now when I elevate this to his head my my front leg I'm gonna scissor my legs and I'm gonna chase his hip See how I got relax right here. See how I got my knee all the way outside his hip. That's important I Didn't let go of his foot to like the very end, but that's what I'm trying to do I'm trying to chase his hip with my knee so everybody get on your right hip the strong position Okay, now act like you've grabbed that foot and elevated it towards his head Okay, now I want you to take your right knee scissor it under your body Okay, and then slide it past the elbow that's on the mat Okay, you should have your right knee behind your right elbow and your left hand should be lifting the leg That's how deep I want you to get your right knee All right So this boot comes in block pressure back hip smash chest low Hey, and I saw Nathan he got to this position. I've been Dominic and the guy was already outside Okay, that's great If I get to this position and that that top hand's already outside I can just start clearing right if I get here and top hands under Clear top hand first because every chance he gets when when he has top hand He's gonna stretch me out. Okay, so I got to take this out of the equation So I can do so I can keep working that elbow stays tied up lock top boot comes in this hands ready And again, hands are always out palms are always facing out to the head Right here. I don't care if he comes under my arm at this point Okay, because as soon as I go to the head this knee comes under notice I still have his foot and I'm circling here The biggest reason why I got to get this knee past his hip is because if I just stay lazy right here He can get his feet in the mat and kind of roll me through. All right. I don't want to be in this position All right, so as soon as I get this foot off and start giving him in a little bit of trouble I got to get this knee behind me. So I have a post notice my chest is low All right, everything about my center of gravity is low All right, so he can't roll me around the taller I get the more stretched out I am vertically the more unstable I am Over the top you come in a hundred percent a hundred percent. This is what he's talking about All right, so throw that boot in boom I press your back and again the more you kind of feel this guy out the more you'll kind of be able to predict He's talking about that boot comes in catching a hundred percent And I'm saying thing what's this bottom knee a scissor right here I'm just getting skinny out the back door right here. Okay. Just wrestle that position. All right Just wrestle that position any questions anybody to see it again. So we're putting the bottom boot out top boot comes in


Boris Johnson's decision to defend his crooked colleague, Owen Patterson, has seriously damaged his government. So why did he take the risk? The simplest explanation would be that Boris Johnson was defending a friend and was willing to run roughshod over the rules to get him off the hook. But there's a problem with that narrative. Boris Johnson is famously a man who doesn't understand interpersonal loyalty. We then might have to look for a deeper motive. And on that front, Boris Johnson's former closest ally has his own ideas. Dominic Cummings tweeted, so after all of this controversy, he tweeted, Part of the point of yesterday is the removal of Kay Stone. Most media ignored S. Walters stories where he carries wallpaper in the PM's illegal donations because Carrie hands out so many leaks and exclusives. Yesterday was really about the PM and his own allies regarding illegal money, not Owen Patterson. He then goes on, Guide could only do cover up by not interviewing those who know what actually happened in 2020 with the fake Blind Trust secret illegal donations. If EC, which is the Electoral Commission, interviews people with perjury charges hanging, the Prime Minister will be screwed. Now there's a hell of a lot referenced in those tweets, and it's not particularly easy to understand. It's in sort of Dominic Cummings language is his style of tweeting, which involves lots of technical terms and abbreviation. So I'm going to unpack them for you. So Kay Stone is Catherine Stone, the standards commissioner. I'm going to put her to one side because we're going to talk about her more in one moment. S. Walters also mentioned is Simon Walters. He's a Daily Mail journalist who broke the story about the refurbishment of Boris Johnson and Carrie Simmons Downing Street flat. This scoop, if you don't remember it, or if you need reminding, involved Boris Johnson getting wealthy Tory donors to pay to refurbish his flat, but then channeling the money via the Conservative Party. The donations were not declared until after the media found out and it became this big public Ferrari. That meant it potentially broke electoral law and it led to many very reasonable charges of a cover up. The guide referred to in the second tweet is Lord Christopher Guite. He's the former private secretary to the Queen who was appointed by the government to investigate the donations into Johnson's flat. At the time we said it was a bit ridiculous that someone appointed by the government was investigating the government. Dominic Cummings clearly thinks there was a cover up going on there as well. Finally, the EC referred to is the Electoral Commission. They were the second body charged with investigating the shady donations other than Lord Guite. The Electoral Commission, unlike parliamentary committees or all these advisors, these appointees has legal power to mandate witnesses to give evidence. They haven't used those powers yet. That segues nicely into a couple more tweets Cummings put out. So he then tweeted one simple thing even the Dud Starmer should be able to manage today. Right to the Electoral Commission demanding that they interview those in number 10 with knowledge of PM's illegal donations, including the infamous wallpaper WhatsApp group with perjury charges for those shown to lie. Yesterday was a preemptive strike by the Prime Minister on the Electoral Commission and Stone. Tory MPs are just expendable cannon fodder. They are trying to keep secret the cover up earlier this year on his illegal donations and lies to Guite and the Cabinet Secretary about it all. Hashtag, follow the money. So he's saying that what needs to happen right now, what Boris Johnson is really terrified about is the Electoral Commission getting people to answer questions under oath about his dodgy dealings last year in 2020 when it came to funding the refurbishment of his flat. The one person referenced in those tweets we haven't introduced properly yet but who is key to this story is Catherine Stone. She is the commissioner employed by Parliament. So not by the government, by Parliament with the responsibility of investigating wrongdoing by MPs. It was her decision that Parliament on Wednesday overrode and it's her who quasi-quarteng this morning suggested should consider her position. So she's the most obvious person who this whole sordid affair was intended to oust. So when it comes to who Catherine Stone is, the Guardian had a decent profile of her. So they write, Stone was born in Derby and went to school in nearby Belpa before taking a degree in sociology and a master's in women's studies at Loughborough University. She has a long history of tackling politically contentious issues. So she previously served as the commissioner for victims and survivors in Northern Ireland with the delicate task of tackling the legacy of the troubles.  She began her working life caring for children with disabilities and went on to run the charity Voice UK which represents people with disabilities who have experienced crime or abuse. She was given an OBE in 2007. Now the thing that that introduction to Catherine Stone makes me think is she has potentially everything the Conservative Party hates. She also seems highly qualified for her job. So remember the person that Boris Johnson appointed to investigate him was a previous private secretary to the royal family. Establishment through and through, someone who is probably going to use a light touch when it comes to holding the powerful to account. This person potentially a little bit more risky for Boris Johnson. The key bit in that profile though is the following. In her current post and perhaps most relevantly given Downing Street's interest in the Paterson case, Stone has found herself investigating the Prime Minister's personal finances. She found against him over a free holiday he took in mustique courtesy of a Tory donor because he quote did not make sufficient inquiries to establish the full facts about the funding arrangements for his free accommodation either before his holiday as he should have done or in 2020 unquote. However, Bryant's committee subsequently sought additional information from the Prime Minister and the donor in question, the car phone warehouse founder David Ross concluded Johnson and the he concluded Johnson had correctly declared the luxury stay. The Guardian Go On Johnson is known to have been irked by the investigation into the funding of his 2019 Christmas holiday which was one of a series into his financial affairs. One thing I want to mention there quickly because it's jumped out to me is that what people like Kwazi Kwartang, what Boris Johnson what all of the conservatives have been saying over the past 24 hours is the reason why we need to abolish the standards commissioner and replace them with another and the standards committee is that there is no process of appeal and they say the evidence here is though even though there is initially a report written by the commissioner and then her findings go to the committee, they say the committee just rub a stamp it it's not a proper appeal process because they just say yes to whatever the commissioner said. We've got here an obvious example of them actually working like an appeal process so the commissioner said one thing Boris Johnson appealed to the committee and they overturned that decision so there already is an appeal process and it seems to be working. You can see why he wants to get rid of Catherine Stone who seems like someone who is interested in holding politicians to account. Ash, what's your take is the real story of the past 48 hours Boris Johnson's commitment to taking out anyone that could possibly hold him to account? The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes but longer. When it comes to Dominic Cummings, our favourite post-government chatty patty there's a couple of pinches of salt you need to bear in mind. One is he has his own well televised history of trying to wriggle out of accountability the embarrassing pantomime of Barnard Castle and driving to test my eyesight. He's had his own part to play in terms of the weakening of standards and methods of accountability at the heart of government. The second thing is what we know is that Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain who were at the top of the Downing Street comms and strategy operation very much blame Kerry Johnson for them having to leave Downing Street. They sort of see it as a power struggle between Kerry on one side the vote leave law on the other and Kerry because she has the ear of the Prime Minister she is his wife, ultimately won out. The bone of contention there was the role of Allegra Stratton whether or not she should get this role of Downing Street spokesperson for having televised press briefings and it's funny that even after Kerry and team Allegra won what happened to Allegra Stratton what happened to that very expensive Downing Street briefing room it got scuttled and instead she became the Prime Minister's cop 26 spokesperson so make of that what you will. However the behaviour of the government when it comes to really trying to and failing to knock out Catherine Stone by discrediting the course of action and the ruling about Owen Patterson I think does suggest that there is something that the Prime Minister is trying to hide. You had this business of the Holiday Mustique claiming that you know he didn't know who paid for it at first you then had Kerry and Boris staying at the luxury villa in Marbella which was owned by the goldsmiths and the holiday was paid for by the goldsmiths I personally don't think that a Prime Minister should be receiving such lavish gifts of holidays and villas and stays on private islands because if there's no such thing as a free lunch Michael there's certainly no such thing as a free villa or a free stay on a private island so I do think that there's something in this that there is something in the Prime Minister's own financial arrangements that he is desperately trying to hide that he certainly doesn't want to be pulled out into the open and Catherine Stone is somebody who throughout her career has been not only incredibly diligent and rigorous but has been quite tough on MPs in a way which is I have to say non-partisan so Catherine Stone was quite central to the investigation of Keith Vaz particularly that business of trying to obtain cocaine to give to male sex workers and in her report Catherine Stone was absolutely excoriating of Keith Vaz not simply in terms of what it was he was alleged to do but for his lack of cooperation with the investigation and for trying to spin a tail which she found at times stretching the bounds of plausibility and being completely incredible so as much as the Conservatives might try and impugn her independence and say oh she's just got it in for us because we're the government no she's been pretty tough on Labour MPs as well that's why they're scared of her she's truly independent she's capable of being tough on MPs and she is single-minded in her desire to hold them to account I can't say this definitively but I get the impression that the musty holiday that the holiday in the south of Spain with Zach Goldsmith they're both quite distasteful these are very well-paid people they should be able to pay for their own holidays if they wanted to live remotely like the people they govern they would use their own 80k salaries to go on holidays so I find it very distasteful they do that my impression is it's kind of within the rules though to do that as long as you declare it I would completely overturn those rules I don't think you should be able to get paid 100,000 pounds by a testing company like Owen Patterson did but I get the impression rules weren't broken I think when it comes to the flat where Boris Johnson tried to set up a blind trust because I want to do up this flat we really need 200,000 to do it how am I going to possibly get this let's do something that's really untransparent and that is being investigated by the let's talk commission that seems like where there could have been laws broken the rules already have way too much leeway for what I would consider corruption but this I think potentially also broke the rules which is why I think while I accept everything you've said about Dominic Cummings being somewhat of a biased participant in all of this he's not exactly a neutral observer I think he is probably onto something when it comes to that Downing Street flat


Welcome folks, we have our industrial trade in up 21, Nasdaq's down 136, S&P's off 23. Gold contract flat, 17.77 an ounce, we have silver up 2 cents, $21.54 an ounce, light sweet crew down a buck, $27.85, 64 cents a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10-year trade in up 21, 6 at a price point of $13.07, the 30-year up almost two points at $126.14, you get the 10-year yield in $3.68, and bottom line the high was $4.2, and $Kingdala, $Kingdala is down 107, 6 trading at $106.298, Euro is at $103, yen is at $139, the British pound is at $119 to $1, the U.S. dollar. Well get over and take a look at the S&P, bottom line folks, you're building costs for higher price. We take a look at this here, and what you're going to see, yesterday you go higher, yesterday with 93 million shares, you're backing down with 40, so that's still a market that wants higher price. We take a look at the MDX100, the 3Qs, same setup inside the 3Qs, bottom line yesterday we go higher with 73 million shares, and you're backing down with 36, pretty amazing actually. Now let's go to $Kingdala, because what you do have is this, some variances out here. $Kingdala, bottom line is that you had a rejection yesterday, and the longer that $Kingdala can stay over 106.281, and we're over that right now, we're at 301, that brings the deal that you can get in a bounce, that's the bottom line. So what I'm doing here, he's taking a wide price spread on the way down, yesterday we had wide price spread, rejected lower price, and that's a range, that's my point, that's a range more than anything. So we'll see if we bottom line get that bounce, you know, that's why market-wise everything is going that the market wants higher price net, and say that the dollar wants lower price, and that is that divergence that I'm talking about, because you can see the 10-year, the 10-year is up 26, now the volume is starting to drop off, I only have 1.3 million contracts out here. We get close to the swing, the swing's 113.30, we hit 113.07 today. Now that being said, and that's the number, it's 113.27, so hey, on the bonds, this turn might be at the .382, we'll see where this shakes out. Stay right there folks, come right back.


Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another book review. Sorry for the absence. I have been doing live streams. In fact, it's a beanie day. Those of you who watch the live streams already know why. Yeah, I got a little lazy. Anyways, so I have been working on a big project. I am currently 28,000 words into it, and that's just the first chapter. It's gonna be a long haul.  So you'll have content every day. I'll even be doing some live streams where I'll just be reading. You guys can come and read along with me. I won't be reading out loud. So just to clear up any confusion, there will be, you know, streams where all I'm doing is sitting there reading, and that's by request. So if you think that's weird, I ain't got anything to do with it. People ask me to do it. And I think it comes down to, you know, people just wanting someone else to chill out and read with. That could be it. I'm not sure. I don't personally watch reading vlogs, but if you guys want to watch it, I have them for you. Anywho, so today we are talking about Blue Skinned Gods by S.J. Sindhu. This is a book about a young boy who has blue skin and is supposed to be the 10th and final reincarnation of Vishnu. The book starts off when the boy is very young, preteen, I think, into teenager, and it follows this boy, Kalki. That's his name. I know there's God, Kalki. But anyways, it follows this boy. He has to go through three trials to prove that he is a God. And I don't want to say too much about this, but I do want to preface this review with, do not read any of the reviews on Goodreads. They will spoil you. They spoiled me. Unfortunately, there is a, I don't know, it's a major twist, but there's a twist in the last third of the book that I definitely wouldn't have seen coming had I not read the reviews. I don't know why I did, but I did. I enjoyed this book throughout. It's one of my favorites of the year. And yes, my best of the year list will be up hopefully on Friday. You're getting a video on Friday, no matter what it is, but probably the best of the year. And they won't be numbered. It'll just be me telling you what I loved this year. And this book will be on that list. One of my favorite characters in here is Lutchman. I think is how you pronounce it. I also liked Rupa. There were so many great characters. The boy's father was another one. I'm sorry, I can't remember his name. But this story, it had notes of the kite runner in it without the sexual abuse. In fact, I don't think there are two other than, you know, organized religion and trauma based on religion. There aren't too many triggers in this one. It is a very sad story. And several parts had me in tears, absolutely broke me just like the kite runner did. And I'm not, you know, comparing these two because of the author's estheticity. I'm comparing these two because they are very much alike. They're both coming of age stories. And yes, they are not American stories. But he does travel and this one Kalki does travel to America and he enters this very weird underground music scene. And that was by far my favorite part of the book, seeing how various different people had used this little boy throughout his life for their own financial and even spiritual gain. Jesus has been walked over and used his entire life. And I thought that was, it was, it was a great theme. There is a heavy theme of the gullibility of the religious.  But there is a heavy theme of the gullibility of the type of people who are religious extremists or just religious to, you know, to a fault, I would guess if I would say, people who believe anything when they're told if it fits into their own narrative and their own agenda. So this is an important book just based on that. There, I think my favorite scene in the entire book is toward the end on the stage when everything just finally comes to a head and Kalki's had enough. And that scene right there, I thought it was going to end completely differently because of the tone of the rest of the book. But I was glad to see it went where it went. Blue Skin God's, I picked this one up because it said it had something to do with the New York underground music scene. And I got that. But the majority of the book, if you read the description, that doesn't happen until much, much later. It's probably the last third of the book. And I'm surprised they put it in there. But I'm glad they did or else I wouldn't have read it. I got this one on Scribe. I listened to this one on Scribe. I already got the hardcover ordered and it's on its way. I do that with all the books that I enjoy on Scribe. And if you'd like to try it on Scribe, there's a link down there in the doobly-doo. You get a free month and my kids get a free month. You guys have been spectacular. They have numerous free months to go. So I appreciate everyone who has done this so far. But yeah, if you want to, you can cancel it as soon as you get it. I think it's still good for the entire month if you want to check it out. If you do check it out, definitely check out this audio book for Blue Skin Gods. The narrator was absolutely perfection. It's a fantastic story. It's getting my highest possible recommendation. But if you read Blue Skin Gods by S.J. Sindhu, if you have, let me know down there in the doobly-doo whether or not you loved it. You hated it. You felt mad about it. But if you felt any of those things, tell me in detail so that we can have a discussion. But until next time, I have an E. You've been you. This has been another Book Review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye-bye!


Bonjour tout le monde. Over the last two months, Canadians have stepped up to keep each other safe. And because of those actions and those choices, in many parts of the country, we're getting this virus under control. Now that doesn't mean we can let down our guard. But what our progress does mean is that where it's safe to do so, we can gradually and carefully restart some of our activities. For many small business owners and their workers, being able to reopen is welcome news. Of course, this is not without its challenges. People need help getting back on their feet. That's why we brought in new, targeted support to get businesses going again. Use the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy to rehire your workers. Access a loan through the Canada Emergency Business Account to adapt to new realities and contact your Regional Development Agency where we've boosted funding if you don't qualify for other supports. Thousands of business owners have already navigated the process and are getting the help they need. And if you're not one of them yet, we're making it simpler to find out what's available. Go to the COVID-19 page at canada.ca. You'll find a section that lays out all the programs based on what your need is from rehiring staff to accessing credit.  In fact, it matters to our whole economy. So a concern for you is a concern for us, too. And that brings me to the question of your rent. Paying rent on your space might be a problem right now. We hear that, so we're taking action. We're creating the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance Program. This benefit will provide forgivable loans to landlords so that they can reduce, by 75%, the rent for small business tenants that have lost the majority of their revenue because of COVID-19.  Go to cmhc.ca to get the details on what information you'll need when the application portal opens starting May 25th. Once this launches, you'll receive your relief quickly. Our government, along with the provinces and territories, will cover 50% of the rent. We're asking that landlords absorb 25% and tenants pay the rest with the support of programs like the SEBA. For larger retailers, we're also working on a new support, and we'll have more details to share soon. These are challenging times, but together we can protect jobs and make sure that our economy bounces back, and that will be good for everyone. On est en train de mettre sur pied, un programme d'aide d'urgence pour le loyer commercial des petites entreprises. Dans le cadre de ce programme, les propriétaires pourront recevoir un prêt subvention pour réduire de 75% le loyer des petites entreprises qui louent dans leur immeuble et qui ont perdu la majorité de leurs revenus. Allez sur le site de la Société canadienne d'hippothèque et de logement pour voir de quoi vous aurez besoin pour présenter une demande quand le portail sera lancé le 25 mai prochain. Vous allez recevoir du soutien peu de temps après. Notre gouvernement de père avec les provinces et territoires va couvrir 50% du loyer. On demande aux propriétaires d'immeuble de couvrir 25% et les locataires devront payer le reste à l'aide de programmes comme les comptes d'urgence pour les entreprises. Pour les plus gros détaillants, on est en train d'élaborer une nouvelle mesure de soutien et on aura plus de détails bientôt. Ensemble, on peut protéger les emplois et agir pour que notre économie revienne en force. Et ça, c'est bon pour tout le monde. Whether you work at the restaurant around the corner or at an office downtown, your job is how you support yourself and your family. And no matter what you do, no matter how many other people your workplace employs, we need to protect that. In addition to our support for small businesses, we've also brought in help for companies of every size. Last week, we launched the Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility to provide bridge loans for the country's largest employers. As of today, applications for this financing are open. These loans will be delivered through the Canada Development Investment Corporation in cooperation with Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada and the Department of Finance. Our priority is that this program be fair and effective. Loans will be designed with a clear goal, protecting jobs and helping our economy rebound. Businesses can go online to cdev.gc.ca for more information on the application process. But I want to be clear. We are not offering companies a bailout. We are making loans available so that they can weather this storm and continue to employ millions of hardworking Canadians. As of today, businesses can offer a demand to obtain funding from the company for the Large Employer Emergency Credit. For more information on the demand process, companies are invited to go online and consult the cdev.gc.ca website. These loans will be granted by the Canada Development Investment Corporation in cooperation with Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada and the Department of Finance. Our priority is that this program be fair and effective. Loans will be designed with a clear goal, protecting jobs and helping our economy rebound. I want to be clear. This is not a white sheet for businesses. We are offering loans so that they can weather this storm and continue to employ millions of hardworking Canadians across the country. No matter who you are or where you live, we're here to support you. So I want to end this morning by reminding parents that when you receive your Canada Child Benefit Payment today, it will include an extra $300 per child. This is money to help you through this very tough time. Allow me to say this to the parents. It's really not easy to raise children these days, but you're doing an excellent job, despite all the challenges, all the problems we face today. I want to thank the Canada Child Benefit Payment Foundation for their hard work. I want to thank the Canada Child Benefit Payment Foundation for their hard work. A great job despite all the challenges, all the problems we face together as a society. Parents are doing an extraordinary job every day. Continue your job. We will remain here for you, and we will continue to work together. Thank you.

So we are looking at major changes in biodiversity and long-term extinction factors. Yn terms of protected areas we have seen an exponential increase in protected areas both in terms of size partners and number but if you look at the graph on the right you can see that in terms of biodiversity loss we are seeing considerable amounts of biodiversity loss correlated to the increase in protected areas a we have to ask ourselves all these protected areas actually having a major impact on conserving biodiversity. We often described protected areas as the last reservoirs of biodiversity, but in fact 68 to 70% of the biodiversity of South East Asia occurs outside of protected areas. So given the investment in the protected area process, we have to perhaps reappraise Io ddim yn gwoes nhw am yww'r ysgolach ar yr況 y byddai blynyddol gyda rhai i'r pryd o'r rhengwm hyn yn South East Asia.

Because sheer coincidences yesterday the Singapore Government contacted C4 and Forder to work together to try to address some of the drivers of the fires, particularly during the burning season. This is directly related to logging and oil palm expansion. This is what we're faced with – we go from a highly rich dense, diptocarpacee, forests, full of animals, insects and all the elements of biodiversity we all appreciate to this. And if you travel to Calamantan or Sumatra or anywhere else in Southeast Asia in fact, you are often faced with large expenses of oil palm. And the wildlife trade is something that seems to remain on the periphery of the debate about biodiversity. But this slide actually shows the legal trade in biodiversity. So this number of 13 million is a number of live animals traded in Southeast Asia legally last year. But this is but one small proportion of the actual extent of the trade. And countries such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia are major suppliers of wildlife to the emerging markets in China and elsewhere. And of course I was going to show another map but I'm aware of the time constraints. The concomitant trade from Africa in terms of rhino horn and ivory reaching Southeast Asia and being traded throughout many of the countries there with the end markets being in Vietnam and China. And of course we've seen the extinction of the last of the Jarvan rhinos in Vietnam based on this extensive and very lucrative wildlife trade. So in terms of food security I just came from two major food security meetings in Europe. And as I said, C4 have been working on this extensively particularly from the linkages between understanding biodiversity and food security linkages. And what we're seeing in terms of food security is of course changing demographic graphics. Populations are growing across the world and so people think there's a linear correlation between population growth and the need to grow more food. In fact we grow enough food in the world. We have one billion people who are undernourished but we have two billion people who are overweight or obese. So there's some problems here in the supply chain of food and that's one issue that needs to be addressed and that's a political thing which is outside obviously the remit of an organisation like C4. But we're also seeing changing demographics which have influenced appetites and diets. As middle classes emerge and grow their demands on the food system are such that they would like to eat more meat for example. Meat is a very inefficient way to use the residual land that we have available for agriculture. And so the major driver of change is in fact this increased affluence which enables people to diversify their diets because they have purchasing power. And it's interesting if you take Hong Kong and Singapore who grow no food whatsoever, they're completely food secure because they have purchasing power. India for example which produces a surplus every year is food insecure because of the inequities in the food distribution system. So the real challenge for Africa and for Asia is to how to grow enough nutritious food. It's not just about quantity in terms of calories you need to have a nutritious diet. And some work that we've been doing recently has focused on Africa looking at the correlation between tree cover and dietary diversity and nutrition. And we've found that looking at 93,000 households that households with close proximity to tree cover have a more nutritious and diverse diet than those who are in peri-urban or urban situations. So there is a nice correlation that C4 as a forestry research organisation wants to bring to the table in terms of precipitating policy change to get people to think about food security just in terms of more rice, more wheat, more grain but in terms of the diversity that forests and other tree-based systems provide. And as I've said earlier one of the things that we're concerned about is the segregation of food of land use systems. We tend to think of plantations as separate, we tend to think of forests as separate and agriculture all managed in a very separate way. But paradigms are changing and the whole prospect of land sharing, land sparing, integrating different functions of land use in the same landscapes if you like. And this is again something that we're very much focusing on. And this I think provides some hope for the future in integrating stakeholder interests in a wider landscape process. So in terms of what we call multi-functionality, having many functions in the same landscape, it's basically looking at spatial segregation over spatial area, temporal segregation in terms of different functions at different times within the same landscape, but also at the same time having real functionality, multi-functionality, linking biodiversity conservation, linking production systems, linking community management, all of these things in the same landscape for the mutual benefit of everybody concerned with that particular landscape. I'm not going to dwell on this slide particularly because I'm aware of time, but just the last point, the focus on ecosystem services and agricultural productivity is a key one because we do need to move away from protected areas alone. We need to make sure that all of these integrated processes are actually integrated in a way that precipitates much more coherent management of forested landscapes for many benefits, including production, including biodiversity conservation, et cetera, as I've said. The real crux of multi-functionality is the provision of ecosystem services. And ecosystem services are very much underrepresented in the international dialogue on forests, international dialogue on food security, international dialogue on conservation. And one thing we're trying to do is link the value of forest-based ecosystem services to agriculture. What is the role of forests in terms of pollination for cash crops? What is the role in terms of pest control for watershed protection? And I think these are bigger questions that we need to start asking ourselves, but these things take research, obviously. And I did a little review of research issues and did a small web of science search a couple of weeks ago when I knew about this talk. And it's interesting that biodiversity research came out very low in terms of the numbers of papers published compared to Latin America compared to Africa. And interestingly, much of the distribution of this research here in Asia has been based on or focused on mammals with less so on other taxonomic groups. And so there's a strong need to look at much greater integration of biodiversity conservation research with good taxonomic research, photogeographical research, but also linking closely with socioeconomic systems in which that research operates. And we mentioned the Millennium Development Goals, not an easy thing to say. Actually, I will take that microphone from you. Thank you. And so here we are almost in 2015. We're not doing so good. We're not doing so good on hunger. As I mentioned, there are two billion people obese, but there are still many, many people who don't have access to adequate diets. We're not doing too good on education either. In terms of poverty alleviation, this has been one of the biggest successes of the MDGs. But food prices can affect this dramatically. The spike in food prices that occurred in 2008 put one million people back into the poverty trap. And so small levels of fluctuations in commodity prices can have a huge impact on poverty. So we talk about the Millennium Development Goals, and we have resoundly, I think, not succeeded in achieving all of the targets that we had hoped for. And now we're working on the Sustainable Development Goals for post 2015. And C4 are working with the UN on trying to get at least a sustainable development goal on landscapes, on integrated landscape approaches, the kind of thing that I've been talking about, integrating multiple functions in a single landscape. And I wonder, and I hope that that does give us hope for the future in terms of integrating socio-economic, political, cultural and biodiversity concerns into one package, if you like. And the environment, I think, we will realise it's more than dollars alone. And we need to think about the intrinsic value of the environment and not just think about the opportunity costs of oil palm because it's there, because it's now. And I'll end there. So thank you very much for your time and I appreciate the musical interlude.
