Henry Ruggs is getting all the love in this year's class for his speed, but don't sleep on KJ Hamler from Penn State. He didn't run at the combine and his pro day was canceled, but he claimed to have run a sub 4-3-40 before the combine, and when you watch him, you can see that speed on display. The main problem with Hamler is that he's got a small frame, and that's not always easy to deal with in the NFL. He weighed in at 178 pounds at the combine, making him one of the smallest wide receivers in this year's class. Given his ability to stretch the field, we're probably going to see him make a bigger impact in real football than in fantasy football. On the lower end of the comparable spectrum, you've got a player like Jacoby Ford, who's smaller in size and had blazing speed, but there's also a chance that in today's NFL, he's more like what we saw from Marquis Brown last year for the Ravens. But do know that Brown was the better prospect given his college production was better, especially in the key metric, yards per team pass attempt.


Do you have someone that is dyslexic? Does anyone that's dyslexic? Yeah, in my field, there are people who have all kinds of issues. We have, yes, the answer is yes. It's a hurdle. It's a hurdle. But in the Olympics, what do you do when you come up to a hurdle? You jump over it. That's exactly right. So thank you for your question. I'm told that you might be interested in space, or at least science. That's good in physics. It is the fundamental way to come to terms with all of the cosmos.

Well, you guys know I'm wild about electric vehicles, so I had to come to the wallbox booth to talk to Douglas Alfaro about electric vehicle charging. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, so we're wallbox. We're a company based in Barcelona, Spain. We are a European leader in the EV market for EV chargers, but we're bringing our products for the first time to the US, and we're starting first with the Pulsar Plus. This is our best-selling product in Europe because it's a super-connected product. It's connected with your Google Home, your Alexa, so you can set it to charge. We also have an Apple Watch app where you can lock, unblock, use your different stats. Obviously, this one has not charged yet. So when you connect this, you can unblock the charger and then plug it in. Give me one second. He just locked it. There's a lot of interference here. Every Wi-Fi cellular thing is going to fail, just so you know. That might be, oh no, there it is. There it is. So once we have this set up, you basically unlock it, and then you can take the handle and plug it in. He just unlocked it with his watch, and I'm going to... There we go. And I'm going to plug it in here. That looked great. And then you can see it's very intuitive. The colors start pulsing as well as the Pulsar. So how many kilowatts, or what's the unit here? Yeah, this is a 40 amp unit, so it's capable of 9.6 kilowatt output. So this is capable of... It's tiny though. It's like the size of a Kleenex box. Yeah, that's one of the aspects of our company. So we do all of the design, the development, and we manufacture it in-house, in Spain. So it's a European product. We focus a lot on the aesthetics and the design. And so we also want to make it super compact because we use less material. We can get the price points lower, but also use less materials, and it's more sustainable that way. I might be able to mount that to the wall. I had to hire somebody to mount ours. I assume... I'm going to ask Steve a question. You said it was 9.6 kilowatts? 9.6 kilowatts. Art, kilowatts. And what is our Steve? Any memory on that? We are a 50 amp circuit. We're a 50 amp circuit. A little bit over. That would be something like a 12 kilowatt, or... Okay. 11 kilowatts. Okay, so this is pretty hefty, even though it's so tiny. For its compact size, exactly, yeah. Okay, so then let's take a look. You've got the quasar over here. All right, we've run over to the other side of the booth, and we're looking at the quasar bidirectional charger. Now, this thing is a lot bigger. Hang it on the wall there. What does this do? Yeah, so this is actually a world first. So this is the first bidirectional charging station for your home. And so what this allows you to do is not only charge your car, but use the energy from the car, from the battery to power your home, or send energy back onto the grid. And so it allows you to use your car as an energy resource instead of just an energy consumer. So would this be just if you were in some emergency situation, like you lost power in the house? Well, actually the day-to-day use case is that maybe you have solar panels, you want to prioritize charging your car, maybe you want to use your car for example, you come home from work, you want to set a washer or a dryer, and it's a big no-no to set it during peak hours, but maybe you can actually just power that using your car. Wow! And then you charge it during when time is cheaper. And so you can use a little bit of that case. Something tells me that power companies aren't going to let you do that in the United States. They actually would love this product because it allows them to also have grid services. And so a utility company can tap into this and say, actually we'd like a little bit of reserve power because we have a big surge happening. And so it will pull from a little bit from lots of different charging stations and the EVs will actually be a contributor to the grid. Oh, wow! Exactly, exactly. That sounds a little too happy joy-joy between the companies and us. I don't know, we're usually adversarial. Oh, look at that display, that's beautiful. 46 kilowatts, 32 percent there. 4.6, but you can increase. So this is actually, negative is discharge, but you can increase it with just gestures. So you can increase it to max output years. So there's an audio, he's waving his hand and it's going up and up and up. And you could also set it to discharge, but this process is automatic. So it has a management system, an energy management system that will basically do all of this without any thinking. It will talk to your solar panels, it will talk to your car, it will talk to your home, and it will talk to the utilities and be able to discharge or charge the car or even increase or decrease the power based on what's most beneficial for your home, for the grid or for the car. Wow, that is really, really interesting. Steve, did you have any other questions? I thought he might, this is very cool. So this is the Quasar, the company is called Wallbox and where would people find out about it? Wallbox.com, we have a website. Are these on the market in the U.S. yet? In the U.S.? No, so we're launching these this year. These are available in Europe at the moment, but we're bringing them to the U.S. around mid-year for Pulsar Plus and end of year for Quasar. We got European customers too. And what's your price point on these? So for this charging station, this is typically... Quasar? Yeah, for Quasar. This is typically available for tens of thousands of dollars in a large format like a refrigerator in fleet depots. So we're taking that technology and shrinking it down by size for home application. So that allows us to get to a price point of below $4,000 for this, which can also bidirectionally charge and you can also participate in programs with utilities that pay you for that capacity. Very good, very good. And how about the Pulsar Plus? And the Pulsar Plus is $649. So it's a very economical price point and a super high-tech for the price. Very good. Thank you very much. This is really interesting. Thank you.


Kasma Zune. I'm a student at Zitec currently doing conflict ecology and the reason behind that is I saw the safari and you know a lot of people say I saw the safari but I felt it So Bright Stay Initiative is an initiative for young mothers in Kibera and Mazaru Why this came up was because I had a friend who got pregnant at I think 13 And there's a time I was working around and I thought to myself you know I started university I went to University of Nairobi and then school fees was not there So for a long time I was like you know it's God's will I'm okay just think around But then there's a day somebody asked me what you want to do with your life And looking at everything I couldn't tell you what I wanted to do with my life because I don't have anything I don't have school fees I did my best I passed but I could not be able to Afford anything after that so when I was working home I started thinking to myself What can I do and I want to do something that can help people And then I remember the friend of mine who got pregnant when she was young I just gave her a call I was like how are you doing And she told me I'm actually doing okay right now but I was not at the beginning And then I questioned her more I was like when you were going through what you were going through What made you feel alone or what were you going through She told me I felt alone people insulted me because I was pregnant People said a lot of things against me not knowing how I got to that point So that is something that kept bugging me I was like I was not available for you when you needed the help Because one I did not know what you were going through I did not know the pain that you were going through But now that I know what can I do about it yes I don't have the finances Yes I don't have anything to say I start helping So I had a conversation with Esther and I was like I have talked to It was a mutual friend I told her I have talked to her friend and she says she went through a lot And I asked her what did you want when all that was happening When people were insulting me and when people said all these things not knowing how you got pregnant And they were singing some ridicule songs to you She said I needed somebody to be there for me I told myself it won't cost me a dime to be there for somebody else So when I gave Esther the idea she was like oh wow you're dreaming big here And I was like no I just want to be there for somebody We are privileged to meet these beautiful young ladies Lonati Kolo and Esther Ngiri Both beneficiaries are the breast organization And they open up to us about the experiences in this family So I went to Winslet at Tieno Uma I went to Sillanga I told myself I was fine I went through Kupitiam and I went to Lorin And I told my mum that I was pregnant So my mum said I was pregnant But I was not sure So I told my mum that I was pregnant And I decided to go to Kondani and I told her I was pregnant And she said she was something like I was pregnant But I told her I was pregnant I decided to go to Kukunao I was there for her I came to Lorin I told her mum that I was pregnant I was active at the time I was pregnant I went to Pampas Food was available and it was canceled Biko pia, but tumizia doorkas na ista kwa sana. Na itwa lonati kolo, Nikonam totoa miedi saba, Na itwa denzel, nikijana. Nili joku piti yams chana na itwa polin, ali niyambia kuna penyepa na itwa braista wana chukoma young mother. My name is Estan Jerry. I am a volunteer at International Mental Health Association. Biko was working at International Mental Health Association and this day miraculously done, the executive director asked to have a meeting with me and so you know I don't have the qualifications, I don't have anything and he asked me what would you want to do and I said I want to help young mothers. And it was like okay because a lot of people have these ideas and then he was like okay you do this, I don't have the funds, you go see what you can do. Go look for young mothers, start helping. So at this moment I don't have any funds, I don't have anything. I just took Esther and we went and we started looking for people. So we went to Madari at first because there's a program on going in Madari where old people are giving help. So I used to go there every Friday. Now this time round I was like no I'm not going to old people, I want to look for young moms. But the first person I asked about young moms was like why are you trying to help them? They messed up and I'm like no they didn't because if you sit down with a young mom now that I have the knowledge and you sit down with them, not all of them, it didn't happen the same way. One mentioned that she got pregnant because she was hungry. This guy gave her food, there was no food at home. So how do you start criticizing this young mom who, the reason of why she got pregnant was food because of the situation. Others it's rape. So how do you start criticizing people like that? But then I gave up at first because when I was asking around for young moms, they were telling me no, you can't help people who have already decided to do this. Then the next thing I did I was like okay you're not helping me, I'll keep on pushing. So I went to the first young mom, I had a conversation with her, I was like I don't have anything. I'm just going to be here for you. If you want to talk, if you need someone, I'll just be here. So I started by you know, and when you talk to them you notice what's the biggest stress you have? I don't have pampas. So I started going out of pocket getting one like a packet of pampas which is like for 130. Sometimes you don't have the cash because 130, yeah you don't have it. But then I was like okay. I'll try as much as possible and because we built a friendship with them they know I, she doesn't bring anything, it's okay. So they tell me oh at home my mom was yelling she called me a prostitute but then you're like ah don't worry, it's going to be okay. So they're talking about how this kid is giving birth to a kid and all those insults.  Who told you to keep the baby? So constantly when we we used to actually sit outside and just have a conversation then one or twice when I get something because I was also an employee. I don't have any cash. I don't have anything. So when I get something small I buy pampas and then it went from then Daniel Mango saw that oh wait, this girl is actually serious about this because you can just help somebody out and you don't know if they want to do it. There were days I just wake up and I'm like I don't have anything. I don't have any mental health training but what I know I know these young moms they need somebody to talk to and looking at the background that I from where I'm coming from we don't have a lot but I knew despite what I'm going through the people who are going through way worse. So that is also the motivation behind everything. I'm like yeah I didn't have anybody when I needed somebody to be there for me and somebody to tell me it's going to be okay. But I want to be there for somebody else and tell them you know what, wipe your tears it's going to be fine because people don't understand when a young mom works around with their kid and then you give them a look that hurts them. It sticks with them and some of them build a shield and you know if you sit with them you'll notice some of them are very vulgar it's because they're building a shield you've already insulted them so much and they're trying to give you a piece so that's what I'm trying to show them no you have a community you have me sometimes there are parents let me tell you there are girls here who've been told you need to move out and then somebody does not have anything they don't know where to go and if I was to dream that's what I'd probably dream of getting like a safe house for them where in case you're told you have three days to be out of this house I can tell them you know stay here for a while it will be fine and then you figure something else out. Another challenge this young moms are facing is you go look for a job and people are telling you we can't employ you you have a kid imagine it's not like it's not like a pass you can leave home and then go look for a job and the reason behind me trying to help them out is because of that one girl who told me how or what she was going through and the fact that I was not there for her I hope that I can be there for so many other girls she ended up having to prostitute herself to help the baby now she's at a point whereby she is positive you see if we helped her at the beginning would have skipped a lot of this and that's the reason for bright star initiative and I really am grateful for Daniel Mango believing that I had passion for this and I wanted I really wanted to help you don't need much to help you just need to be available Dokas herself being born and raised in Kawanguare knows better what the situation of luck means after all she lacked the most of the basics you can ever imagine this shaped her personality to this date I have lived in Kawanguare my whole life went to schools in Kawanguare I can't say I've been raised in your house the only time I got a chance to get out of Nairobi was in Kawanguare and I went to high school I went to the final I actually did my class 8 at a children's home because it was slightly affordable for the school fees I was still I was not able to finally clear the debt but because I passed my exam that's why they were okay you can take your clearance growing up was tricky it was very tricky and the fact that being a 10 year old and thinking the only solution you have is death you know that it's not it's not it's not simple and that is what motivates me the fact that you wake up and you know you don't know what you're going to eat you don't know and I'm thinking to myself some of these young mums probably go through that a lot of times that's why when I get a call and some of them I've given them a code if in case you need any help or you're about to sleep hungry send me a please call me you don't need to have credit and I'd rather be the one who sleeps hungry than them because right now I have people who are supporting me I have my husband I have Esther and I can talk to them and some of these young mums don't have that so I went to several primary schools and you know changing schools having you know eventually people get to know and they're like wait uniform is sort on why do you wear tone uniform and you can't start telling them my parents can't afford and that's that's why I'm currently a very good storing person I do that very well and it's when I went to high school and I was able to do that with so much position they're asking me how are you able to do this and you're not taught I'm like I had a lot of uniform to mend I went to a high school called Kisao Gaos it's in Makueni so I did from one and from two and eventually the school fees was too difficult so I went to a day school called Elion and at some point miraculously somebody paid my school fees until this moment I don't know who did that so I am very happy for that but I don't know who they are I don't know what happened but then after that I was able to go back to Kisao I did my form 4 despite the fact that half of the school time I was not in school people got to a point thinking I actually enjoy going home for school fees because what can you do like every time you hear the roaster people are going home for school fees you start packing your stuff because you know you've not done anything and then yeah I was in debate I did great debaters I loved talking and that sort of is my channel of escaping everything I talk a lot I did that's when I did my exam I got a B minor I was called at a university Iigaton University but the school fees I could not be able to go to Iigaton so I was like what if I try UN so I went and joined UN to do English and Literature did the first semester then school fees again so I was like okay you know what I've tried I've done everything I can do to try pay school fees my parents can't be able to so you can't put that burden on them I tried working I did several jobs but then I couldn't be able to support my school fees then that's when I took a step back and God did miracles that's how once I started Brightstand then Daniel Mango was like okay you can't be helping people and you yourself you need help so he asked me what would you want to do and I was like wait this young mums because you need certification sort of to be able to help them with their mental health heart alone is not enough my background has shaped me a lot because if I didn't go what I went through I would not understand what people are going through when somebody tells me I've slept hungry I feel their pain and that makes me work immediately that makes me know if somebody ever gives me funds and tells me you know what we want to sponsor Brightstyle we want to help I know that these people I was in a position whereby you hear somebody is quote unquote helping you and it's not even you don't even know about it but the things that I went through the moments of suicidality the moments of depression the moments of wanting to give up they help me know and understand that when somebody comes to me and tells me you know what I'm about to give it up I know what they're feeling and I will not ignore them I'll not tell them you know what stop it's okay you have a lot to live for no what I went through growing up and the situations that I was in helped me a lot to understand and care better about Brightstar we mainly deal with young mothers the ones that got pregnant at an early age so basically the idea was bathed by Dorcas it was from an experience that we had with a friend of ours who got pregnant at an early age so she had a lot of a lot of things that were happening in her life when she was pregnant and basically life had been unfair to her while she was pregnant so that challenge that she faced made Dorcas want to help young mothers who get pregnant at the same age that she had Brightstar is fun Brightstar is everything I know it's my baby I love Brightstar so much so what we do here we have several small projects within the whole project because most when you want to help don't just think linear think of things that you can do because when I mentioned before my life I look at the things that I would have wanted to happen to me I try to channel those things to these young moms so one of the things you do is here day here day we come together we wash each other's hair we put on face masks I pump at the girls we do our feet we do our hair we go all out because some of these young moms they don't get the time to start making themselves feel beautiful making themselves feel confident and comfortable in their own skin so the main agenda and the reason for here day is to be able to help these young moms feel good, look good and build your confidence some of them don't get the financial support to be able to go to the salon do your hair, do your nails, do your face so what I do is I buy all those products because it would be very expensive to take them to the salon and as per day so it's sort of as per day for us we do have a lot of fun the other thing we do is shop making shop making is where I teach them a skill to be able to use that skill and are living out of it the other thing we did here was making samosas because that's also a skill that somebody can start their own small business once I am not there or once Brightstar they graduate out of Brightstar they can be able to fully self sustain themselves because when you the whole idea is somebody can fully hand their mental health place their mental health in check to have a source of income because most of them don't have that so those are the two main things your mental health and a source of income and also have fun every hero's journey comes with challenges in this 24 year old has had her share but tells us why she is best positioned to deal with young mothers the biggest challenge is finance because we don't have currently we don't have a sponsor program so it's out of pocket or executive director sometimes is the one who helps a lot with the project because he sees the impact and you will tell them about the project but we can't quantify how these young moms are feeling at the end of the day I think Biko has mentioned the mad side glad afraid and you can't quantify how you make the girls feel so it's quite difficult to quantify everything that we do but that is the biggest challenge finance and then the pompas sanitary towers and panties for the young moms so those are the things that that is a main challenge but I'm grateful that I have people who are there for me but in case something is too overwhelming I can share and I can be like this is I don't know what to do and then situations where by somebody tells you they are being kicked out you don't know where to take them you can't invite somebody in your home and they have a kid and you know all that so that is the biggest challenge the warm hearted young lady refers to us what her spirit is to do charity to her neighbor being able to have a room where by I can be like in case of anything in case somebody is just out in the middle of the night they can sleep here like the other day we had an incident where one of the young moms their house was burnt down so I don't have anything I can do I don't have the capacity when you see them laugh when you see them relax when I see when I see them do I'm at bright start that's the motivation that keeps me going also my husband he's the one who's always there and you know sometimes you feel like gipping up but you know what you're doing what you're doing Esther Njeri she's always there she's like let's keep on keeping on because sometimes you can have your own mental health stuff bugging you but then when I see the young moms I see them make fun I see them laugh I'm like oh wow I'm doing what I was sent to this earth to do so also my father he's always there sometimes you know you have some very tough decisions to do and I'm not that I'm actually 24 I'm 24 and there are some decisions that I don't know what to do about them so I ask my father for help he tells me you know with the wisdom with age comes wisdom he helps me making some decisions here and there and also International Mental Health Association if not for Imha I don't think the project would still be here Imha the Black Mental Health Liz Damelia and Dan Mango those are the people I give the most shout out to my future plan is to have like four homes for the young moms in case of any situation have a mental health space for them like have a chill spot a house whereby we can put a babysitter a sport for the kids to see you know the moms can come in watch TV talk to a therapist have a very fun house you know being able to have have this project in other parts of Nairobi other parts of Kenya other parts of Africa so that this is going on here we have another like 20 right now we have 22 young moms currently here so having another 25 somewhere else I love honest if you ask the young moms what rule does Doshka stand by just say the truth because I believe the truth will set you free I'm not afraid of making you feel bad because I've said the truth that's my main kovali my mission and vision is let's help everybody they say behind every successful man there is a woman and what about a successful woman my name is Babu Biko I'm the Creative Visionary at the International Mental Health Association I support the communication strategy of all the programs that we have that is the Black Mental Health Program which the Bright State Initiative is under I support the South Asian Mental Health Initiative I support the Afghan Empowerment Program as well as the overall Imha brand so I support them with videos, photography, editing and all that but at Brightstar now I bring the knowledge that I have gained in mental health when the Brightstar Initiative began Dorkas gave the idea and Dorkas used to come and meet the young moms they used to talk and as the program developed we actually started creating pillars with which the program could stand so I tabled the idea I was like okay you're already supporting them you're already giving them diapers you're already giving them this but can I be given an opportunity maybe like an hour or an hour and a half to be able to talk to the young moms teach them about mental health give them some of the knowledge that I've learnt coping strategies teach them that they do not have to be victims but they can be resources for their own community they can be resources to not only build themselves but build their family and build their communities so when we were doing the analysis initially we saw there was a lot of stigmatization when the girls came if you saw the initial photos that we actually took of them the very first they were meeting them they were very closed up very worried now they're very vibrant they've learnt that they are powerful on their own and so that's what I brought to Brightster just to support the work that Dorcas and Esther already doing on the ground I supported her because once she's my wife but too I believed I believed in her dream I saw the compassion that she has and she does this it's not even here in Kibera she does this in Madare as well she basically always wants to help people a united family well needs together by love and selfless attitude to work their neighbor determined to bring change through this common denominator love the because are sharing their love with the world are creating a city a city of love hospitable to everyone a resident and strangers this is the world of heroes that we are looking forward to a world of selflessness there are a lot of organizations that are helping but unfortunately all of them are not really interested in solving the girls problem they're interested in enriching themselves I really want to commend Dorcas because if there are any funds that are channeled through her every single cent and she can account for this from every M-Pesa message to every purchase it buys diapers it goes to helping the girls it doesn't matter even to the tiniest cent infact she goes into her pocket sometimes to cover some of the cost that the girls will reach out to and this is why I think it's now a safe space I want to thank Dorcas for sharing her dream with us because it is now a reality I'm grateful for each and every young mum who has ever been to Bright Star I'm grateful for them I'm grateful for them to allow me be there for them because it's a privilege for somebody to let you be there for them so I'm grateful for each and every young mum who has ever opened up their hatch for me to be there for them

I remember that I like I said I remember watching that These are like, oh my god Marcus Marriota's next coming up Jesus with that play I was like, all right Chill he got batted down by a defensive lineman Like it was a bad throw. Oh, so was Brad Johnson interesting.  See what I got Go Irvin Joe Feidsman disco Paris Johnson Darius Davis just Pascal rich over on YouTube chat said you're good at trivia because you got that answer right with Brad Johnson a J.

Hi and welcome to the session. I am Shashi and I am going to help you with the following question. Question phase. A manufacturer produces nuts and bolts. It takes 1 hour of work on machine A and 3 hours on machine B to produce a package of nuts. It takes 3 hours on machine A and 1 hour on machine B to produce a package of bolts. He earns a profit of Rs 17.50 per package on nuts and Rs 7 per package on bolts. How many packages of each should be produced each day so as to maximize his profit if he operates his machines for the most 12 hours a day? Let us now start with the solution. First of all, let us assume that number of packages of nuts produced each day BX and number of packages of bolts produced each day by. So we can write let the number of packages of nuts and bolts produced each day BX and Y. Now we have given that machine A takes 1 hour to produce a package of nuts and machine A takes 3 hours to produce a package of nuts. And we also know that machines operate for at the most 12 hours a day. Now according to the question, X plus 3 Y is less than equal to 12. This is the time taken by machine A to produce X packages of nuts. And this is the time taken by machine A to produce Y packages of nuts. And we know machine operates for at the most 12 hours a day. So we get X plus 3 Y is less than equal to 12. Now we are also given that machine B takes 3 hours to produce a package of nuts and machine B takes 1 hour to produce a package of bolts. And this machine also operates for at the most 12 hours a day. Now our second constraint is 3X plus Y is less than equal to 12. This is the time taken by machine B to produce X packages of nuts. And this is the time taken by machine B to produce Y packages of nuts. So we get 3X plus Y is less than equal to 12. We know machine operates for at the most 12 hours a day. Now we also know that number of packages of nuts and packages of bolts produced per day is greater than equal to 0. So we can write X is greater than equal to 0 and Y is also greater than equal to 0. Now we are given that a profit of 57.50 is earned on one package of nuts and profit of 57 is earned on one package of nuts. Now our objective function Z is equal to 17.50 X plus 7.00 Y. This is the profit earned on X packages of nuts and this is the profit earned on Y packages of bolts. Now adding these two we get Z. Now our required real-life programming problem is maximize objective function Z is equal to 17.50 X plus 7 Y subject to constraints X plus 3 Y is less than equal to 12. 3X plus Y is less than equal to 12. X is greater than equal to 0 and Y is greater than equal to 0. Now to draw the graph and for finding the feasible region subject to given constraints first of all we will draw a line X plus 3 Y is equal to 12 corresponding to this inequality. Now these two points that is 0 4 and 12 0 lie on the line X plus 3 Y is equal to 12. So we will plug these two points on the graph and draw this line by joining these two points. Now this point on the graph represents the point 0 4 and this point represents 12 0. Joining these two points we get the line X plus 3 Y is equal to 12. Now clearly we can see this line divides the plane into two half planes. Now plane that contains the origin 0 0 satisfies the given inequality and we can say this plane represents X plus 3 Y is less than 12. So we will consider this plane. Now we will draw a line 3X plus Y is equal to 12 corresponding to this inequality. Now we know points 0 comma 12 and 4 comma 0 lie on the line 3X plus Y is equal to 12. Now plotting these two points 0 comma 12 and 4 comma 0 on the same graph and then joining them we get a line 3X plus Y is equal to 12. Now clearly we can see this line divides the plane into two half planes. Now this plane represents 3X plus Y less than 12. So we will consider this plane. As we can see plane containing the origin 0 0 represents 3X plus Y less than 12. Now we know X is greater than equal to 0 and Y is greater than equal to 0. This implies that the graph lies in the first quadrant only. Now we will consider all the half planes satisfying the given constraints and shading the common region we get this convex polygon. Now let us name this point as 0, coordinates of this point are 0 0. Now we will name this point as D, coordinates of point B are 0 comma 0. We will name this point as C. Clearly we can see these two lines intersect each other at point 3 comma 3. So coordinates of point C are 3 comma 3. Let us name this point as D, coordinates of D are 0 comma 4. Now according to the corner point method, maximum argument value of a linear objective function over a visible region determined by all the constraints occurs at some vertex of the polygon. Now clearly we can see these are the four vertices of the convex polygon. Now we can write the visible region ABCD determined by all the constraints is bounded. Now we will evaluate Z is equal to 17.5 X plus 7 Y at each corner point. Now first of all we will find the value of Z at corner point 0 comma 4. Z is equal to 28 at 0 comma 4 substituting 0 for X and Z for Y. In this function we get Z is equal to 28. Now we will find the value of Z at corner point 0 0. It is equal to 0 only. Clearly we can see substituting 0 for X and 0 for Y. In this expression we get Z is equal to 0 at 0 comma 0. Similarly the value of Z is equal to 70 at 4 comma 0 substituting 4 for X and 0 for Y. In this expression we get Z is equal to 70. Now we will consider corner point 3 comma 3. Now substituting 3 for X and 3 for Y in Z is equal to 17.5 X plus 7 Y we get Z is equal to 73.50 at point 3 comma 3. Naturally we can see this is the maximum value of Z which occurs at point 3 comma 3. So we can write hence the maximum value of Z is equal to 73.50 which occurs at point 3 comma 3. So we get maximum profit is equal to rupees 73.50. Number of packages of nodes produced daily is equal to 3 and number of packages of nodes produced daily is equal to 3. So this is our required answer. This completes the session. Have you understood the solution? Take care and have a nice day.


You need a financial advisor with the freedom to focus on your specific needs. Whatever your goals, Reid Potter can create a game plan tailored to you. Call Reid at 432-0777 at Pikeville, Kentucky to learn more. American Legion Post 283 out of Martin came out to Allen Elementary School Thursday to deliver 50 presents to kids in need. During the drop-off, we spoke with Legion members Mike Crace and Devon Prater about what it means to help those kids this Christmas. Today we delivered presents for 50 children here at Allen Elementary. For the year, we've done 75 total with other schools we've been working with. We got help from the community as far as fundraising with the community and Legion members kicked in out of their pocket and the American Legion provided the rest. We hope that some of these kids enjoy these presents. There's a lot of them that's going to get anything for Christmas unless we've done this. We've done it last year and hopefully we can do it again next year and it'll be a little bigger thing. And while American Legion 283 delivered the presents, they do want to thank a few helping hands. Shopping for this, my mother helped me do it and I'd like to thank her for that. Also I'd like to thank the Ladies Auxiliary for helping package all this stuff up and Legion Air is helping us deliver it. Afterward we spoke with Allen Principal Kyle Shepherd about what the Legion means to its students. American Legion, you know, they're an amazing group as always. We reach out to community members, community members reach out to us. They create great opportunities for kids that just may not have the Christmas that everyone deserves to have and partnering with this group, they're delivering an amazing Christmas for 50 kids within our building and they were able to do that for us last year too. So we're grateful to have that partnership with American Legion. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Corjol.


Hello and welcome to Data Diversity Talks, a podcast where we discuss with industry leaders and experts how they have built their careers around data. I'm your host, Shannon Kemp, and today we're talking to Anthony Ogman, the Convergence Platform Program Lead at AFI. Shannon Kemp, and I'm the Chief Digital Officer at Data Diversity, and this is my career in data, a Data Diversity Talks podcast dedicated to learning from those who have careers in data management to understand how they got there and to be talking with people who help make those careers a little easier. To keep up to date in the latest data management education, go to dataversity.net forward slash subscribe. And today we are joined by Anthony Ogman, the Convergence Platform Program Lead at AFI, and normally this is where a podcast host would read a short bio of the guest, but in this podcast your bio is what we're here to talk about. Anthony, hello and welcome. Hi, Shannon. Thanks for having me. So glad you were here. Okay, that's a very long title, Convergence Platform Program Lead. So what is that and what is it you do? Yeah, so it is as if I tried to find the longest title possible. It was really, you know, I've had a background for many years in consulting and finance and technology and all of this stuff, but I had been out doing consulting for a number of years and I had an opportunity through some contact that I had, a person I knew from way back, like in the financial industry days, 15 years earlier, where you'd been with ABD for a couple of years, working on this Convergence Platform. And what we're trying to do and what ABD is trying to do with this is, you know, we noticed that over the past several decades, as a pharmaceutical industry, we haven't gotten a whole lot better at finding the medicine. So if you look at where drugs fall off in the development cycle, like those percentages, like some will fall off really early, some will get to a stage three trial and some will actually eventually be approved, but those percentages haven't fundamentally changed. And we said, and some of our senior leadership said, you know, we should be doing better than that with all the advances in data and technology and how we can put these things together and work with it. We should be better at finding the right drugs earlier on in the process. And so they said, you know, we are going to invest in a large scale effort to transform how our organization, our R&D organization works with data, technology, each other to really try to move those percentages in a meaningful way, because that is really how we become more relevant as a business, we become more successful in finding new medicine. This is a big deal. And so when I was asked, I came here to lead the Technology Platform build out that will support that broader Convergence Initiative. So again, a lot of words going around, but it's about building out that infrastructure, that technology, that data ecosystem, that we can use all the data that R&D uses, which is a whole lot of data, and put it together in ways that scientists can have new ways of navigating it, finding new connections, making things possible from a research and development point of view. They just couldn't have done before. And so my team is building out that technology platform, which I think is the easiest part about this whole thing, like building technology, building data systems relatively easy compared to getting 12,000 scientists to do something different. Right, that's the real hard part in all of this. But for me, it's about putting into action what I've been talking about for years and years. Like, I've been working with Data Diversity a long time, I've been consulting a long time, I've been doing technology and business strategy work for a long, long time. And I wanted to have an opportunity to put it all into action where the contract wouldn't run out, where I could be there for the long term and build out a team and build out the success. And I couldn't have imagined, you know, I joined FB right at the start of the pandemic. And I couldn't imagine a better opportunity to do this in a place that really mattered. And so for me, having the opportunity to work in life sciences, work in finding new medicine, the context of COVID in a pandemic that still hasn't left us. To me, it was like, well, I'm gonna do this now. Like I had plans, I was doing my consulting thing and it was fine. But when they said, hey Anthony, use your help, I'm like, I'm in, let's do it. Like, I will regret this forever if I don't, let's just get going. So I mean, that's why I'm here now. But it's also been just so rewarding to be back on that industry side and have a new glimpse after many years doing consulting to relearn what it's like to be my client. Relearn what those challenges are day in and day out and what a client is facing when they're trying to do that. It'll eventually make me a better consultant one day. If I go back into consulting, I will know a lot more coming out of this experience with Abbie than I would have otherwise. And you touched on that a little bit. Abbie is a pharmaceutical company. That's right. We are Life Sciences Biotechnology Pharmaceutical Company known for Humira, known for Rin Vogue, Sky Rizzy. We now own Botox as part of our allergen acquisition. So Big Pharma based in the Chicagoland area grew out of Abbott Laboratories. So that's the, Abbie, I learned this once I started, Abbie's is Abbott Life. So it's French Abbott Life. So that's where that name derived from. Nice. So I'm guessing that when you were very young, just a little boy, this was not what you dreamed of being when you grew up. Or is it? Like, what was your dream? What was it when you were? What did you want to be when you grew up? It's funny because I can absolutely point to an awareness in high school, especially, where I said, I never wanted to be, well, I wanted to be a professional baseball player. That didn't work out. But I also knew that I didn't have any interest in being like broadly famous or like come a movie star or anything like that. What I said is I want to know something really well. And I want to be a respected name in that place. When I come to a place where I do what I do, that I want to be known and understood and be able to talk about something knowledgeably and speak like I knew speaking and being part of that kind of community would be important to me. I had no idea what data management was or data governance or data leadership or any of that stuff was. So certainly didn't have the details worked out but could definitely trace what I do now back to those days, even in high school where I'm like, that's kind of the thing I want to do someday. Oh, interesting. So, when you were in high school, so then what did you decide, where'd you go after high school? So after high school, I went to a liberal arts school undergrad and I was always about business. Like I always wanted to help businesses be more successful in business stuff. And so like I went to undergrad, studied business, studied some computer science and stuff as well. Also was studying Japanese, which I've now forgotten all of, so don't even try.  I was just interested, but at the time we're talking in the 90s, I was like, I didn't understand that you could be involved with technology but still fundamentally business motivated.  That's not what I want to do. So I always had that kind of, I want to make it impact the business. I always want to make a connection there because that's what really matters in capitalism and in organizations. So I mean, when I graduated undergrad for a short six months, I was a stockbroker. I studied and I learned all the fun things. I had done some really cool finance classes in undergrad. Like, I'll do finance stuff. That sounds fun. And I'm like, I've always wanted to do some sales things, that's fine. So I did that. It got all the accreditation and like licenses and everything. And then it dawned on me. It was a lot less about, at least in the organization I was working with, there was a lot less about let's do an analytical model to determine what the best asset allocation would be and the best investment strategy or whatever. No, where I was working, it was like, here's the stock of the day. Here's the bond of the day. Find anyone you can to buy it. It was like, look for boiler room in its nature of it. But a super boring boiler room. It was like, look warm room is kind of where my stock for the day. But so I kind of realized, I'm like, this isn't for me. And literally, it turns out to be a long run of like, well reason, seemingly rash decisions. Like on a Friday, I realized I can't do this. This will not be my career. And then I quit on Monday. And the reason I did is that I couldn't go to people and say, hey, I'm gonna be your long-term financial advisor when I'm new. I'm like, I'm out of here, man. Like there's no way I'm doing this. So I just let it. I didn't know what was gonna come next. But what came next was maybe the most instrumental move in my career, which was I went to Morningstar, the mutual fund investment advisory firm, and found myself doing data analysis, it was the position with an electronic data analyst, which really quickly led to program. It really quickly led to doing things to bring data. In those days, Morningstar got its original start by getting net asset values and other data from mutual fund companies. And those mutual fund companies could be something like Vanguard, big stuff with big files and all this sophistication, or like literally some person in their basement office writing things down and sending them to you in the mail, like everything in between. And so, you know, Morningstar wasn't paying for any of this information, but they were just starting to publish about this stuff. So my job was to get that data, however it came into a database. And so we did that. And so that led to more programming and that led to more opportunities and that led to a couple other roles in the financial industry, where I was doing technology and data development. I had opportunities to be a programmer and did front end user interface stuff in the web. I learned a lot about technology throughout those days. And that eventually led, I was working at a trading firm and doing some really cool stuff around trade reconciliation, reporting, business intelligence was really the focus of a lot of the work that my team was doing, a lot of accounting automation and other things like that. I got an MBA in night school while I was there. And so a wonderful organization at the time it's no longer around, but really had an opportunity to live that dream of going to get an MBA and then had to work for a period of time. But then when I was spring clear of those obligations, I went into consulting.  I mean, at that point it was a decade. Then I said, you know, I'd like to go into consulting because I'd like to see other industries. I'd like to learn more about what goes on. I had the general business background from the MBA and the previous studies that I'd had, but I was really trying to fill in more of it. That's when I learned like data governance was actually a thing. I had been doing this for a long time, not knowing that there was a whole world of study around data governance and data management, data quality, master data, all this world that kind of came to me once I started my consulting career. And I had some really great mentors and some really, you know, great opportunities. And this is where like I started working with dataversities. When I was in my consulting career all of a sudden now, I need to get out there. I need to start learning much more than what I had been exposed to in individual businesses. Had to build out basic consulting skills too. And dataversity was where I found an opportunity to learn from the experts in this space. And then eventually, you know, not too long after I started attending dataversity events, started having the opportunity to speak at dataversity events first with individual sessions, eventually led to tutorials. And then led to a much bigger relationship with dataversity over the last many years where we've partnered together on training or on the book or on various events and things like that. And I've had so many opportunities to speak and learn and connect with folks through that. And I think that's really an important part of that journey for me is like I go back to what we were talking about with high school where I knew I wanted to be speaking. I knew I wanted to be getting out there as a thought leader in something. Now I found that something. And I always felt like very, and I know you've asked one question. I've been talking for like 20 minutes. But like, once I found that data world and dataversity was a big part of opening my eyes to all of that, I fully realized that I was doing and had found, relatively early in my career, found what my life's work was all about.  Never find that calling. And I found that calling. And so to me, it was about realizing, hey, this brings together the technology stuff I was interested in, the business stuff I was interested, all this data, new like things in technology, development, hot items, and things that people are interested in that's continued to grow. And so it was like, wow, I found this thing that keeps getting bigger and it's become something that just has defined what my entire career is about. And that for me is like, I know what my life's work is and I feel super fortunate that that's the case where I struggle and have learned through various things that I've done since I started in my consultant career is I struggle with context. Am I better off as a consultant? Am I better off as an entrepreneur or as an industry person or doing big programs like what we're doing at FBE? Or what have, and what I've kind of learned is just depends, just depends on what people need, what I can add value to and what matters in the end. And as I get older and older, things like FBE check a lot of boxes for me where what we're doing feels so much bigger than what I could ever do on my own. And that to me is something where I'm like, I don't know how long this lasts. I hope it lasts a while. And I hope that I am able to contribute to something that changes medicine and finds a cure. I mean, people are already finding new drugs through this platform that we're working on, doing science that hasn't existed before. And I have to role in that. Like, how cool is that? That's awesome. That's amazing, especially in this day and age, right? Yeah.

And there's a piece in there in your career I know that you kind of missed that I want to touch on is you were a chief data officer? Yeah. Yeah. So where that was and how that kind of fit into the whole scheme is that I had started with one organization in my consulting career, which I will name as West Monroe Partners. I still think the world of them. But at the time, I had a young family. I didn't want to be on the road anymore. And I just didn't see a good path to doing what I wanted to do in the context of that organization. So I moved to another organization that was more locally focused. And so I didn't have to get on the plane as much. And I think that those models are evolving even now. But like at the time, it was more of a local model and that was good. But I had a client, which turned out to be the Chicago Transit Authority where I became the chief data officer. So there was a client where they had been doing a lot of work with data, but they didn't have a data analytics group. And it was actually the audit group, the chief internal auditor who had hired me as a consultant there because what do auditors do? They're using it, they're finding information, they're analyzing it, they're trying to find patterns and stuff like that. That's what data people do. That's data analytics. But the problem was is that they're trying to do audits and all of a sudden everybody in the organization is like, hey, audit group, you do data stuff. Can you do some data stuff for us? So they were getting pulled in all these different directions. So like, Anthony, can you come in here and let us do audits again? Like, let me see what I can do. So we came in there and we started making some real strides in an organization that's all about data, who had very little data capability at the time. I just came in and started doing things that made sense to me. It's like, well, this data takes way too long to access and a lot of things break all the time when we try to run a report. Let's fix that. So we'd fix that. And then we'd get faster at the data. And then that led to them for a while while I was consulting there. They were like, Anthony, come here and do this full time. We can't have a consultant keep doing this in the long term. We usually come here full time. I'm like, no, I'm good. I don't need to do that. And then maybe I'm oversharing here, but then it came down to they're like, well, Anthony, I'll tell you, Shannon, this is the best way you ever want to hear a negotiation stuff when you're sitting with us. They're like, Anthony, just tell us what it takes. And I'm like, I'll get back to you tomorrow. So I came up with this list. And I'm like, I'll tell you what it takes. And I'm like, literally, I'm making fun of it now, but it's actually quite literally went through. I'm like, what would it take for me to take this position? What would it take for, because it's not even about me. It's what would it take for this position to be successful in this organization? And so I came back and I said, okay, well, you need somebody who can really create this data analytics in a serious way, in a real way. And I looked at the organization of like where the power dynamics were and how things were functioning and where the technology was and how the data folks were working, who had data skills and all that basically said, okay, here it needs to be a chief data officer title. And it needs to be that chief data officer title needs to be at the same level as the CIO. Because what I realized is that the CIO was gonna torpedo anything that that CDO would do otherwise. So I don't care where it reports. You have a report wherever they need to, as long as it's no less than where the CIO reported, which was the CFO, which actually was where we ended up having that position report. So it was like, and I was trying to be realistic because I'm like, I don't even know if I'm the right person for this role, but I'll tell you what the role means, right? And so you need to be at the same level. You need to have a team built underneath them. You need to have certain budgetary authority in certain ways to create technology to complement the core technology operations. And I needed a residency exception. That one was about me, because I didn't live in the service area at the time. And that was something where you could get a residency exception, but it was a big deal. And I'm like, I think this is a non-starter, but they saw what I was talking about and then I had enough of a track record of success of where we were going. They really wanted to keep that going. And it just wasn't gonna be sustainable as part of the consultant model. And so I tried to give them, whether it's me or somebody else, like here's what you really need to do here. And so they ended up talking through it or working through it and ended up working out so that I could take the position. It was unfortunate because it was a little bit short-lived because it was like a week later, I felt like, once I took the position, the mayor got reelected and effectively took the president of CTA at the time and moved him out to become chief of staff for the mayor first, but that only lasted like a month. And then they sent him to run Chicago Public Schools. And when that happened, he took the entire leadership team from CTA with him to Chicago Public Schools. And that really changed the dynamic of what my role would be at CTA. So I ended up sticking around for a little while, but it was clear that the new administration just didn't see the value of data the same way, didn't see eye to eye. And I really joined the organization because of that leadership team and the chief and general auditor that I've been working with, everybody was gone. And so I said, okay, it's time for me to go off and do something else, which led to some more entrepreneurial things and some consulting and that stuff, did get an opportunity to do some consulting work with Chicago Public Schools to kind of do it. It was really cool because their data challenges were totally different, but like amplified from what CTA was. And it gave me an opportunity, it kind of made CTA feel like a dress rehearsal for the big challenges of CPS. But I do think that that time between the work that I was doing in the public sector at CTA and then CPS, that really helped ignite in me a desire to do good through my life's work. Like you spend a decade in the financial industry making rich people richer. It's not as fulfilling as when you're helping people get to where they need to, to get to doctor's appointments, to get to their jobs. And then at Chicago Public Schools, educating the next generation, it doesn't get much bigger than that. Human health is a pretty big deal too. And so that's where like, and I don't know that I could ever spend a lot of time doing things that I don't think are super important for the world. And as I get older and older, that becomes a bigger and bigger importance to me and what my life's work is about. Like how can I do this weird thing that I do and help somebody as much as possible? Of course data, the use of data is set up just for that too, for when we use for anything.

So my definition of data, I could throw a few different lenses at it, but I think the most important is data's the closest thing to truth we have in our organizations. And in that vein, it's what teaches us about what our organizations have done, what our organization's opportunities are, where our organization's assets are, and really helps drive the kinds of change we need to make as businesses to be successful in our markets. And I find it fascinating because the other piece to that, well, the truth piece I think is first and foremost, I'm also amazed at the notion of data as an asset because how many other assets, when you use data, what happens, right? When you use data, ideally two things happen. One, you do something of value to your business. You're starting to drive some sort of activity or change that helps your business improve at what it does, right? The second thing is you create more data. So the more you use data, the more you create data, the more data you have to use the more benefits your business can have. And I'm like, we've solved cold fusion with data. And so I'm fascinated by this whole thing because what other asset do you create more of the more you use it? And that's where I'm fascinated when I think about the work that I'm doing in FB and what we're trying to do is so much of our effort isn't around creating the data in the first place. A lot of our data comes from external sources, some comes from internal sources, some comes from what we then build on top of, right? So to me, it's about thinking through the long game of how do we take these different component pieces, start stitching them together, starting to combine them, starting to do things on top of that to create more data that we then can pass to others who can use that to do other things. And like if we can create ecosystems that do that and you create these feedback loops that keep reinforcing it, then I have to believe that truth grows and our potential is unlimited because that's the natural evolution of that loose calculation. So that to me is, to me, that's the essence of data. So we can get into the ones and zeros of it, literally, but like to me, the data truth and scale and dynamics of that, that's what fascinates me. It keeps me fascinated about data after doing this for so long. I love that reference to Cold Fusion. It's the first time I've heard it, I love it. I think that should be built to everyone's definition because it's so true. So Anthony, do you see the importance of data management and the number of jobs working with data increasing or decreasing over the next 10 years and why?  You just look at like, and I thought about this a lot lately, like I mean, we both have phones within arm's reach right now. And as does literally everyone who's listening to this, probably on their phone. And we're masterful data consumers.  And what I've realized is that just because we're masterful data consumers, we have these high expectations of what data should be able to do. We see it in our business life or in our personal lives constantly, right? But that masterful consumption does not magically lend itself to the creation of data capabilities in a similar way. That's a different area of emphasis. That's a different area of work. And that takes real effort and real substance behind it to create those things that we're constantly using. And so in our businesses, we don't have the kinds of capabilities today in most cases that we do in our personal lives. It didn't used to be that way. It used to be the opposite back in the day, but now because data is so prevalent in our personal lives, we expect that in our business, but we don't know how to make it. So how do we change that? And I think that's where these data management roles, they may not always look like the data management roles we're accustomed to seeing today. I think we see a greater push out to more federated governance, more things being decided at the end state and being loosely collaborated upon and connected to then bubble up to other areas. I don't know that we've even really seen the beginning of creating those reinforcing loops that I was talking about. I think we're still in kind of a linear one directional flow a lot of the time. We have data, we use data, we create some value, create some more data that probably doesn't go anywhere and now we're done. The more we create those loops, I think the more opportunity for roles not only that we see today, but way beyond that and how we nurture those data assets going forward. So I think it becomes a bigger part of every organization as we continue before. And what advice would you give to people looking into getting into a career in data management in any aspect? Yeah, I would say the first and foremost thing is to be curious to learn and think through. Don't just take anything quite at face value, try to really understand of where it's coming from. Recognize too that the data while we focus on like technology things or like analytics things, the real value of data comes from changing people's behaviors, changing business process. There's a lot of change and management of that change over time or the prioritization of resources and investments. Recognizing that the more we want to do, nobody owes us this in our company. Nobody says, hey, we've just been waiting for some data governance. Like that's literally never been said. And so what we have to do is realize it's on us. If we identify, hey, there's an unmet need in our business, it relates to data. And it relates to something that we might do with data. We have to learn enough about how business works to create a proposal or sell the idea or sell the platform, build the thing that makes it happen. And so I just would encourage folks to not close themselves off to learning some technology or learning some stale strategy or learning how to give a presentation or learning how to communicate or write or whatever it is that you find interesting or you find effective, wherever you are, do those things, find ways to connect them and you'll have your own approach that can be very effective as we build out more and more of these data capabilities across all of our businesses. Cause they're all heading that way. Like there's no business out there who doesn't have some sort of data today. And I think most businesses need data, need data excellence to be relevant going forward. Yeah, it's certainly indeed as we move into this digital world. So if I'm hearing you correctly, don't be afraid to continue to learn and follow your passion. Absolutely, well, and I've been told I am a passionate person when it comes to this. But to me, it's hard not to be passionate about these things. And if you're doing this work because somebody said, hey, this is a good idea, you should go do this. And your heart's not in it, don't do it. Life's way too short. I mean, if the pandemic's taught us anything, it's like you can't take anything for granted and if you're not following what you're passionate about, if you're not following something that you love, there's probably something out there that you do. Chase that down. Don't end up like looking back on your life saying, wow, I really should have done this other thing. You know, I just, I love data. I think data is great, I think everybody should do it. But like if you're not passionate about it, you know, follow what you are. Cause there was plenty of people that are passionate about data, but I just want people to have good careers, feel like at the end of it all, as we get older and we look back on our life's work, I just, you want to say, yeah, I'm glad I did that. No, it makes sense. So anything else you want to add, any more about your current role or anything we didn't get a chance to touch on? No, I would just encourage folks out there to really explore the non-obvious things. Like one of the things that I think about when these were recording this during a diversity event. And I just think about the role that data diversity has played in supporting my career, giving me an opportunity to explore these things and be able to speak and be able to meet people. I mean, that the amount of knowledge that exists at these kinds of events, whether they're diversity or otherwise, like explore those things, be curious.  And that's where like with data, with data you turn over these stones looking for things that the downside is like, turn over a stone, you learn something, and then you realize, oh wait, 10 more stones, I'm gonna do that stuff. Much more to turn over. But it kind of grows in that way, but explore and try to enjoy it. Cause that's the thing, like if you can find that passion, you tap into something that, it's still work, let's not kid ourselves, there's still effort, there's still a job, but there's something more to it. And I think that finding that, finding what resonates for you is really the most important thing. Makes so much sense.
