Most of the manufacturers are reacting to the downstream. They never talk enough about how they are changing the product upstream. What is coming up in the pipeline? Welcome to the Smarter Building Materials Marketing Podcast, helping you find better ways to grow leads, sales, and outperform your competition. All right, everybody. Welcome to Smarter Building Materials Marketing, where we believe your online presence should be your best salesperson. I am Zach Williams, and we have a great guest on the show at this day. We have Mahesh Ramadhan, who's the president and CEO at Global Network for Zero on the podcast with us today. Mahesh, welcome to the show. Thank you, Zach, for having me, and it's great to be with you today.  Is that right? It's like 9.30 your time. And you work with people like East Coast time as well, right? You're working around the clock. Yes, yes. I'm super impressed. I think this is like the latest we've ever interviewed somebody. So thank you for being very committed. So for our listeners, just give us a little bit of a background on who you are on Mahesh and what your organization does. As you rightly pointed out, I'm the presidency of Global Network for Zero, and where we convene a coalition of leaders dedicated to progressing society towards ESG compliance and ultimately a zero emissions world. So our primary focus, if you really get to the actions that we want to do, which is to digitize climate action by doing two things. One, either through developing cutting-edge breakthrough new technologies and solutions that will help to eliminate the market barriers to zero emissions and also to help those who are on the ground, tasked with implementing ESG and zero emission strategies. In short, we are focused on implementation on the ground and we are going to drive it through digital transformation. And then in addition to that, we also focus on education and connect all these implementers with existing best-in-class practices, technologies and solutions that allow them to eventually make measurable progress. So personally, as an investor convener and unifier, I have a ton of experience in leading global technology platforms and my passion is on integration and interoperability of various systems because I believe that's the only way the sustainability sector can scale. Now my experience is both in non-profit as well as for-profit sectors and I spent a lot of time talking to businesses, community cities, buildings, infrastructure and of course a variety of industries to help them realize their ESG and net zero strategies, goals and commitments. And before joining, before starting, I should say, before starting founding the Global Network for Zero as the presidency of US Green Building Council, green business certification and also the global technology ARC and there I had the wonderful opportunity to lead the lead rating system, the world's greenest rating system in the world and along with a ton of community members around the world, I was able to future-proof the internationally recognized lead rating system with a more rigorous and ambitious certification process, one that included the overdue and necessary decarbonization requirements for a net zero reality. So technically, we set the foundation for Global Network for Zero while we were at US Green Building Council and that has been one of my hallmark moments with the lead and working beyond lead. Of course, during that time, serving at USGBC for over 13 years had the wonderful opportunity to bring multiple groundbreaking programs that at this point of time are helping the society to realize sustainability, health and wellness, resilience and equity. That is really, really impressive. I was actually checking out your LinkedIn profile before recording here and my biggest question is like, you worked for, what's, you just mentioned like one of the largest, if not the largest green building, I mean, the Green Building Council, you're the president and CEO. I want to know like why you left and why did you start something that looks like, if I want to say like, it looks like a competitor to it. I mean, if it can't be a competitor, I mean, they're both not, it looks like they're nonprofits, but like, why did you go from one space to where you have a ton of influence to starting something completely new? So one of the foundational things I learned at USGBC was, you never stop innovating, right? So in the building sector, we went from version 1 to version 2 to version 3 to version 4 and then during my tenure, we got it even up to version 4.1. So perpetual innovation, perpetual continuous improvement is the hallmark of lead, is the hallmark of US Green Building Council and its community. So what I realized was that potential, that opportunity need to be extended to other industries. So the charter of US Green Building Council is buildings, but I wanted to go from buildings to communities to cities. So if you go back and look at the last few years of my leadership there, I tried to expand buildings to communities to cities. Then I wanted to go into infrastructure. Then as you can rightly understand that I'm an impatient person, particularly when it comes to climate change, I don't have a lot of patience in terms of us sitting on the sidelines. So I wanted to really get out there and take all this knowledge that I've developed at US Green Building Council and help the world. And what that means is that I boil it down to three steps. One, net less is critical. Net zero is essential, but net positive is the goal. And why I say that is because we can have net zero energy, net zero water, net zero waste, net zero carbon, but eventually it is about creating positive impact on people's health and wellness and well-being. So when you look at it from that perspective, the work that we can do from the learnings of the US Green Building Council is powerful. Now, even while at US Green Building Council, I never believed in the concept of competition because the work that we need to do is so huge. It's such a big social undertaking. So we cannot see anybody as competitors, but we have to see only everybody as a partners. So I always, I coined the term at US Green Building Council as partnership is a new leadership. So definitely I'm not a competitor at US Green Building Council, but here I am here to advocate for US and KBC and much more. And that's why I decided to get out of that box and give that opportunity to my wonderful team that I built there and my colleagues who are doing a great job there and then really transcend that leap from the vision to really get obsessed about zero emissions work. That's what I want to commit my next decade of my life to. I like that. I like that partnership. That's a great answer. And I respect the fact that you think that's not a competitor, but if I'm looking at your resume, I'm like, wow, that's a heck of a change. But I totally hear what you're saying. I think it makes sense.  What is necessary in those different steps? But for a lot of manufacturers, they're saying, hey, I'm going to develop. I'm going to create what the market demands and what the market wants. And so you are effectively pushing an idea forward in the marketplace with local communities, with builders, with contractors, those in construction architects. What are some of the things that you see that are going to impact manufacturers in the next 12 months, as well as let's say the next three to five years? Where are things heading in the space that you really have expertise? I believe that, you know, I would say that most of the manufacturers are very clearly savvy to know sustainability is no longer a side act. Everyone has got a clear roadmap within their own supply chain or value chain to really embrace sustainability, to make their materials more sustainable, healthy and flexible. So it's not a new news for what I would say a savvy manufacturer or a manufacturer who is in the game. So this is not a new news for that leadership, but the challenge for them is emerging out of this pandemic. We are in this ultra inflationary environment. There is a enormous market challenge that's happening from a financial point of view. So the challenge will be is how do you do trade-offs? The biggest challenge in the next 12 months, even I would argue for 24 months is that manufacturers need to make a decision between doing the right thing and being able to survive because at the end of the day, the market is going to remand better pricing, cheaper, faster, smarter. So that is always a challenge, particularly even at USGPC we realize market transformation is a balancing act. So there is no shortcut. So my biggest worry for the manufacturers, on about the manufacturers is that how are they going to keep their good aspirations along with maintaining a healthy bottom line and most importantly preserving jobs because if you do things on the other side of the equation, then you are really not sustainable or sustainability is coming at a price and cost, which we don't want. So I would say manufacturers should not sidestep the focus on sustainability. This is the time to double down. This is the time to really find creative ways to make this sustainable even if means that it's a little bit of premium and not be discouraged by the pushbacks that you get from the market, but really advocate for it and push it. And by the way, clearly I recognize it's not an easy work. It's hard work, but the demand is there. People are really looking at long-term and then it's important that we remind COVID as the most important marker in all these things. So that is the first part. The second part is that is nobody is going to escape the zero emissions directive. Everybody needs to align to zero. Now, if you really look at it, even the United States, which was kind of a little bit confused for quite a long time recently passed the Inflationary Act, which means that ton of rebates, ton of money, ton of capital is going to flow and I'm an optimist. I believe that in the next two quarters, money will turn around, value will be appreciated and people who can deliver true value will survive. So I do believe that from that perspective, if they can integrate quality with the philosophy of zero and really align and be precise about defining the business case, delivering the value prop, particularly in the context of the occupants of the building in this case, then I think you will be able to identify yourself as a differentiated manufacturer and be able to sell your products faster, smarter, quicker. Now, all of these things, all of the people know, but what I'm reminding everybody is have conviction in what you are proposing, do the right thing and you will win for the long term. Is there anyone that you could think of that's doing this well, Mahesh?  They're pushing back as you mentioned, or they're really pushing the idea of net zero forward. I believe I'm not specifically net zero because net zero is kind of becoming a narrative. I would put that under the category of sustainability, health and wellness primarily. So if you take air conditioning manufacturers, there are some leading air conditioning manufacturers who are really doing this very well. There are glass manufacturers. There are corporate manufacturers. There are tile manufacturers. Now, I'm intentionally not naming particular people because I believe the industry itself has really raised the bar on itself, right? So when you look at them, what they have done for the last 20, 25 years, they've been working on it. That's not, this is not something that was just done yesterday, right? They've been doing this for a long term. They've been continuously improving their products. They've been constantly keeping track of current regulations, policies, guidelines, best practices and really institutionalize the practice of sustainability as an integrated practice as part of their manufacturing innovation and most importantly, distribution. So I do believe those actors are really well ahead of the current and they're one step away or two steps away from truly hitting the net zero goals. For example, some of the manufacturers are really net zero factories themselves, meaning they are not only preaching to their product equation, but they're also actually making sure the factories in which these products are generated are truly net zero. Now, a couple of them around the world are already lead zero factories. For example, you could look at Colgate Pomaliv. Colgate Pomaliv has got 13 lead platinum factories around the world. They got their factories to be true zero based and today they're trying to push the agenda of really bringing a net zero focus to their products by reducing plastic, by reducing water, by reducing the consumption so that they can really consume less energy, less water, less materials, less resources, etc. So this is just one example, but there are ton of examples in each of these industry verticals that I talked about much more. So I am very encouraged by the fact that the manufacturers are taking a long term approach to doing these things and the people who are on the sidelines can learn from them and grow quickly and most importantly replicate their strategies for their own good. So that's my viewpoint on that subject. Mahesh, I was talking to an architect recently who I was just interviewing him for some market research and I was asking him like, hey, you know, what goes into the decisions you make around the products that you use and he was telling me about this project that he's doing where he's really trying to go that zero based product as you're talking about. And what I thought was interesting is he was sharing with me that he's like, hey, I really want to do this and he's someone who's in the field. He's like, I don't know everything about this and there's obviously people who are specialized in it. He's like, but I'm trying to find products in these couple categories that can help my efforts to move these different projects to a zero based implementation or zero based, you know, end result. What I'm curious to get your take on is if I'm a manufacturer and I've got products or I'm trying to push this, this different product development down the chain. What are some things that you see that are working for manufacturers from a marketing perspective and a sales perspective to get these products and get the knowledge around their products in the hands of people that actually make decisions for projects, whether that's an architect, whether that's an end user or a homeowner, if it's commercial or even let's say the GC contractor builder. Since you're talking about building so much, I'll give you my perspective from my prior job, right? Although, although my currently, I am still evolving that concept. What I've seen the greatest opportunity always existed for people was the lead rating system or the well rating system. That's another partner of us at USGPC. Developed by the International Well Beating Institute and the products like Cradle to Cradle, Cradle to Cradle certification, I should say. All these three things are kind of gold standards for you to really communicate the value proposition of your product itself. So the first and foremost, if I was a product manufacturer, I would ask my team, are you compliant with the lead version 4.1? Are you compliant with the latest version of Well? Are you really looking at the lead, the CTC version 4 that's out there? And how are we performing with it or above it or further than that? You know, these are three good starting points. Any manufacturer to start. Now, once you know that compliance has been achieved, then you have to articulate very clearly how you achieved it, what is the benefit to the consumer or the occupant or the building owner, particularly in the context of really accruing the benefits to the person itself. For example, I always say, when you want to talk about buildings, you have to talk about the people inside those buildings, which means that particularly coming out of this COVID, again, I'll underscore that how does it impact Zach? How does it help Mahesh? How does it impact the Zach's family? If you're able to clearly articulate the benefit of your product in the context of health and well-being of an individual, then naturally people are going to connect with your product better. And that's where I think I see an enormous amount of improvements people can make. Third is that celebrate the success stories of your products installation, how certifications were obtained and how these products have helped certain categories of lead certification or well certification or further matter, the Cradle to Cradle certification be realized within the construct of the consumers. This is an area that I've seen to be a little bit of a peak area for manufacturers. I will see them come with brochures. I'll see them come with even actually explaining the complaints, but they will never talk about how their product actually helped a building or a city or a community to actually achieve the X certification or a compliance or a regulation or whatever. And I think that's because it's a little bit of siloed effect the manufacturer are facing. So from a marketing and communication perspective, I always tell them why are you guys not talking about it, particularly quantifying the business. And it's not bad to talk about money because you know what is happening? The biggest market transformation opportunity of a building comes from the materials. The more you can clearly talk about very clearly, how much money did you save? How much price did you quote? And most importantly, what does it mean to the long-term implications in terms of the operational cost savings of that building or a city or a community, wherever you are and most importantly, what was the carbon footprint that you either contributed to it or you're avoided to it. So there is a little bit of transparency, a little bit of storytelling and a lot of value and values proposition. If you can do that, it shouldn't be it shouldn't be rocket science for a good market here. It's a dream job for a market here to basically put that out there and lead with it. So I mean, I believe that is the greatest opportunity for a manufacturer to really articulate that value proposition. The other part is that is most of the manufacturers are reacting to the downstream. They never talk enough about how they are changing the product upstream. What is coming up in the right because because it's a reactionary process. What one of the frustrations I had with the lead was I catch it too late. Then when I sit with the manufacturer, I have to empathize with them because they'll say mesh, I got a million pieces of this inventory. I had to move this first before I can drive transformation on that product. I understand.  What am I language? So the reality is you have to be pragmatic about these things. But what you have to do is that is you have to start telling people. This is where we are going. These are the hardships we face. This is where we cannot substitute the product. Our product substitution comes at a very cost prohibitive barrier. Now that will require a lot of understanding from consumers, a lot of support. And most importantly, that transparency is also key. Last but not the least, I always have to give a shout out to my favorite show for GreenBuild. GreenBuild is our annual conference for sustainability.  So that's my deal. Okay. So I want to talk about GreenBuild really quickly because you obviously know it intimately. I've been to GreenBuild a handful of times. Okay. And one of the things I heard from manufacturers there, individuals who were at booths, is that there's a different level of degree of commitment that they would see to the green initiative. And at the term green, if you will, it's something where you lump in like, oh, we care about the environment into this like green category. And so, Mahesh, I'm bringing this up not to, you know, poke at those manufacturers, but more to get your take on. If you want to talk the talk, if you want to speak to architects or different audiences and really provide a solution that they're looking for, how would you define that green or how would you define that in a way that will really resonate with those audiences? It has to be based on a standards framework, right? This is where they have to lean heavily on the standards and the certifications and the credentials that they've achieved, right? So I think that's basically where they have to start. And most of the manufacturers do it. If you go around GreenBuild, most of the manufacturers would clearly show that they're compliant to a lead version 4.1 MRC credit. That's an easy lift for everybody. But then they also don't sit with the people and try to understand where they think the barriers are. Where do they think that these skepticism is coming? And really try to understand the needs and wants of those architects, right? In this case, if you are a specifier, also one of the things that nobody pushes back in the market is that to ask some questions saying, do you have a catalog of products that you have? What products you typically substitute? Why do you substitute them? Why do you choose a particular product? This is something that I've tried to even work with architect community to say, hey, can we get a list of products and can you guys publish it out there so that we can actually go out and crowdsource it from all the manufacturers and say that this... There's nowhere. Nowhere is there. Nowhere is there. Is this what you're going to do? Like you should do this. Someone should do this. Yes. No, I tried you. I tried you, right? I was researching Sips recently. Just like I went down like a rabbit hole researching Sips and I found this one Sip company that they make all of their products from like, like they use like straw and hay and they have like this zero emission promise. I mean, really cool and they're based out of Europe. I was like, this is really cool. Like if I didn't like to stumble upon them on Instagram, like how would I have found them online?  I think there's demand for like a centralized catalog of like these clean or net zero, whatever you want to call it, building products so that architects and people can find them easily. And I encourage you if there's a listener out there and you're listening to this and like, Hey, there's this already out here. Please, please send me a note because I don't Mahesh to my wrong. I don't know where to go to find that. If I'm an architect. Yeah. And you're bringing up a good point. This is why I do a GBC. I know this program called Better Materials so that we can give a centralized catalog of all materials used by products around the world. Now, I understand why architect doesn't want to share or a construction leader doesn't want to share that list because it's there, what I call USP. It's their IP to an extent, right? But, but, but that's understandable. But however, that for the broader good, we can put that in a broader platform that people can have an indication saying, look, this product has got all the right documentation. It is already verified for complaints with lead or verified for complaints with well, whatever that is, so that the search process itself eliminates all that back and forth that you need to do to basically get to that stage.  Here we go. Let's hear it. It's called Eco Medis, ECO, E-C-O-M-E-D-E-S. And when you look at Eco Medis, Eco Medis has got a ton of materials that has been demonstrated to be compliant with many, many multiple standards. Now, one of the goals was to basically work in that platform with that platform and similar platforms and create a unified interface for people to be able to go and actually do a Google type search and see that whether that material exists, if it exists, whether it is verified for XYZ certification and then what are the associated documentation? You know, this is the place where we try to start and build and that organization is doing good work. And of course they can do much more, but that needs everybody cooperating and collaborating because it's very funny that everybody is searching for those materials, but nobody would make the effort to make it available for somebody else. So I'm going to say sharing. Isn't it interesting? Right? I find that if we really, like after Google, we should be doing a better job, right? If Google had thought that people never allow information to be found, then none of us would be happy today. You know, we are all happy with Google. So it's just a, it's something that really, really surprises me, but I do plan to spend a lot of time in that space. Just since you asked, dober network was zero will be taking a significant lead in the coming months or probably the coming, coming weeks, I would say to rightfully think about materials and products, carbon footprint and zero emission products and whatnot, because that remains one of my passion, a particular problem that other people are not solved well. So I like to attempt, attempt on it. If that makes sense. I love that. Mash, this has been awesome. And thank you for sharing a couple of these links too. I'll make sure we link to them in the show notes. If someone wants to connect with you or reach out, what's the best way for them to do that? I think the best way to do it is to connect through my Twitter, my LinkedIn, and the most importantly, Instagram, everything is available. But also please contact us through global network for zero through our info page. We will review and respond. Although we are a small team and we have a big network and we have good connections that we can bring it forward and we will learn and educate each of them. Excellent. Mahesh, again, thank you so much for coming to show them for our listeners. If you enjoyed this podcast, make sure you check us out at venue.com slash podcast to subscribe to get more.

You are tired I can fit it so I will cut to the chase media on the web matters and I'm not just saying it because I deeply believe in this Let me share some numbers with you Almost 40,000 years of video are watched every day in Chrome You may want to take some time to digest this 30% of all time on Chrome for Android is spent watching video and It is about 15% of all time on Chrome for Android. It is huge And I'm not the only one to have noticed media PWAs across the world have seen business impact Spotify globally and Ghana in India are both in great success and it's just the beginning In the next 20 minutes or so and GNI will work you through four topics We think will help you build great and modern media experiences We'll cover multitasking with picture-in-picture Bend with saving with the AV one video codec a brand new way of switching codec seamlessly and finally Playback quality predictability with the media capabilities API Let me tell you a little bit about myself first and how I work. I Love to multitask on my computers doing many things at the same time Browsing obviously writing some code sharing news on social media platforms Watching educational videos and so on. This is what I do on a daily basis and I'm quite sure I'm not the only one to do that But you may wonder Francois this looks cool, but are you good at it? Does that make you more productive? This does not matter. I love to do that and I want to be efficient at it, but it's not always easy For instance Watching a video while I'm coding How does that work? So first I have to open a separate YouTube window Move it to a corner of my screen and making sure other windows are not covering it and only then I can start to enjoy But can you imagine my frustration when window position are not remembered or when some new window open in the middle of my little video? But that's okay. That's okay because today a brand new web API called picture and picture sold at very specific use case Picture and picture also known as peep is a common features in television That allows users to watch video in a floating window always on top of other window So that they can keep an eye on what they're watching while interacting with other sites or applications The BBC website actually picture and picture a month ago, and they are quite happy with the earlier result they got Now like I said earlier, I like to write code. So let me show you some code To enter picture and picture on a video element you simply have to call request picture and picture on a video element and Because this call is asynchronous It will return a promise that can either resolve or reject and I explain why it can reject in a bit The important thing to notice here is that the user has to interact with the page first to be able to enter a picture and picture In this example, I've used the button Making this button a toggle button a toggle button. Sorry, it's quite straightforward By checking if the video element is not the document that picture and picture element in other words already in picture and picture I'll proceed as before if it is let's call document that exit picture and picture Requesting picture and picture may server may reject for several reasons The most common ones being the video metadata not loaded yet Picture and picture not supported by the platform or simply not allowed by the user The full list of reasons is available in the documentation updating your website when the video is playing and could be pictured picture is crucial and You may think that waiting for the request picture and picture promise to wait is good enough, but it is not What if the video enters picture and picture from another path for instance? What if the user click the browser context menu for instance or the browser trigger picture and picture Automatically like Chrome does on full screen video on Android This is why I strongly recommend you update your layout and enter and leave picture and picture event listeners Now having a 4k video playing in a small window may not be what you want So to adjust the quality of the picture and picture The video sorry based on the picture and picture window size You can simply check the width and height attribute of the picture and picture window available in the picture and picture event Too many picture and picture. I know Adding a resize event to this object would also let you know when the user resize the picture and picture window So that you can update the video quality By the way, Angie will walk you later on how to change seamlessly the video quality and the codec container to help with that and Finally defining the availability of your custom picture and picture button should be as easy as checking the boolean value of Document that picture and picture enable, but it is not because you want your website to be perfect So you'd also have to check if the HTML video attribute disabled picture and picture is present and Finally for real this time you'd have to check if the video is actually ready to play and only then you'd get a perfect Implementation for your custom picture and picture button in your media player I'm glad to say that we have shipped picture and picture API last month in Chrome 70 in Linux Mac and Windows Chrome OS and Android are coming soon and we're looking forward to see other browser vendors implement this API as well You'll find all documentation and sample units at this URL Now what if I tell you this is just the tip of the iceberg in Chrome 71 currently beta Will support media stream video in picture and picture These two little lines of JavaScript do what you think it does your webcam video stream in a picture and picture window and this already makes me happy and In case you're wondering Those are real fake glasses, but wait, there's more Soon a brand new web API calls screen capture will allow website in Chrome to capture a screen to a media stream for Recording or sharing over the network This API will enable a number of web application including screen sharing Imagine now if you combine this API with picture and picture Let's have a look at this code after getting the screen We've get me display media and the voice audio stream we get user media I create from scratch a new media stream that concerns the screen video stream Including my picture and picture window and my voice as the audio stream This code is simply gorgeous in my opinion. This is it. There's nothing more So let me show what this code does we'll show demo I've created just for you and Can we switch them up this so on the left? Is me Francois the hardcore gamer on the right? It's still me, but this time as a casual viewer and what you're gonna see on the left is me Sharing my screen including the picture and picture window while I'm playing the dino game So this is me. Hi mom and let's say If I'm not bad So like I said I'm a hardcore game. Okay. Sorry. I like So keep in mind that the code you've just seen with 10 more lines of JavaScript involving the media recorder API and some web sockets Are pretty much the entire code for this demo Okay, we switch back to the slice base The demo is available for you on glitch if you want to play with it later on Now some of you may have noticed that the picture and picture window contains only two buttons a Play post button and a close button. Those are blue there We've talked to other browser vendors interested in picture and picture about this and we're happy to share that the media session API We've talked about last year at Chrome. They submit will be used in a new feature to add and customize some actions to picture and picture window Think of seek backwards forward previous track next track and even new ones If you are already using it for your mobile website, this will come for free To illustrate these upcoming possibilities Imagine a web app that shows the poster image of a podcast show for instance in a picture and picture window All on top and use these window media controls to tailor the media experience. I Think that looks cool and this is coming as well So to summarize picture and picture is great for multitasking and in the near future It may also be used to record your screen with your webcam Or even to create a custom media center always on top of other windows that user can access easily. I think we all agree that picture and picture improves a lot the user experience in general and You know what else improves it a lot? Video codec and to talk about this let me introduce Andy Chang a software engineer working on video compression Thank you Francois. Hi everyone. I'm Andrew from Google's web ending Today, I'm going to share with you that a new generation video codec If you want was launched recently So we have three main goals for every one First off we want everyone to provide state-of-the-art compression efficiency among other codecs Secondly, we want everyone to be accessible by everyone. So we made it an open source project and it's royalty free Finally, we want to deploy everyone widely and quickly So before I jump into how we did or will do to achieve these goals Let me explain a little bit why video compression is important for users to visualize the importance of compression for video service Let me give you an example Using H.264 a five minutes HD compressed video will take about 300 megabyte on the other hand The uncompressed version will take about 25 gigabyte 80 times larger than the compressed version This means without video compression watching video online will eat up all your internet bandwidth Not to mention the sky skyrocket cost of storage on the cloud So more compression gives user a better user experience We have seen the proof of this with bp9 the predecessor of av1 YouTube did an comprehensive ab experiment When launching vp9 compared to h.264 performance improved in a number of ways Automatically result in higher watch time. This is due to vp9's outperforming coding efficiency With a v1 we have done it again A new generation codec provides 30% b-ray reduction over vp9 across a variety of visual qualities This means given the same quality Av1's video size will be 30% smaller than vp9 This project integrated over a hundred algorithm tools Including the technologies from open source projects like mozilla's dala project and sysco's sorrow project And again Av1 is an open source project and it's royalty free So it's development community Alliance for open media has attracted 40 companies to join And to contribute their technologies into av1 There are content providers streaming service providers and hardware companies Which covered a wide spectrum of the ecosystem for video on the web Having google, apple, microsoft and mozilla Means we can have av1 to work everywhere on the web platform So we have been working hard toward this goal in this quarter Av1 decoder is supported by chrome browser And we started serving video content from youtube Firefox and h Are also launched in the beta platform last month And we plan to integrate av1 with webRTC And deploy av1 into android platform in the following years hardware support is also under development First arriving in 2020 for TVs and mobile handsets For web developers using av1 is easy You simply need to code its type supportive function to make sure the browser supports av1 Then you can start playing the video So av1 is very exciting But running out av1 is not easy To ease the process of the codec transition A new change type function is supported from browser Which allows the browser to switch one codec to the other seamlessly So for example, when av1 is not performing on some low-end devices The stream service can always fall back to vp9 Which is less complex and may have higher support Here is a simple code for using change type So initially we added a source buffer using vp9 And later on we can call the change type function to switch to av1 Let me give you some demo about change type So we start playing video using h264 You can see that from the top left corner By clicking the button we can switch to av1 Yeah, now we are using av1 By clicking the button again Now we switch back to h264 You can tell there's a transition, right? I think this is really cool Let's go back to the slide This is a support slide where you can find information about If you want decoder and change type Please welcome back on stage Francois Who's going to talk about playback prediability with media capabilities API? Did you ever wish you could predict the future? I know I did Be some kind of fortune teller I personally would love to jump into my future Have a quick look and just come back Out of curiosity, I asked people around me what they would do with this kind of power Some said they would love to know if they would become grandparents Some would like to see if that project is going to be successful And some obviously would simply look for upcoming lottery numbers Now brace yourself In a sense The media capabilities API allows you to predict the future But only for a media playback on the web Until recently web developers had to realize solely on web API Such as is type spotted or can play type to discover whether media could be decoded While this told them whether media could be played at all It didn't provide an indication of whether the media playback Would drop lots of frame or rapidly drains device battery In the absence of the signal Developer he didn't have to create their own heuristic or just assume that if a device could play back a combination of codec and resolution It could do so smoothly and power efficiently For users with less capable devices this often led to very poor experience By using the media capabilities API today You can get more information about the client's video decoded performance and make an informed decision about which codec and resolution to deliver to the user In other words, it helps ensure adaptive video streaming only selects resolution that will play back smoothly on some specific device Here's how it works in chrome The media capabilities API use metrics from previous playback to predict whether future playback In the same codec and at the same resolution will be smoothly decoded When you ask this API about a specific media configuration, it will return a synchronously three booleans Is this configuration spotted? This is the same result returned by his type supported You can use it for instance to detect whether every one video codec is supported by the way Is playback going to be smooth? It is currently true if less than 10 percent of frame have been previously dropped for this media configuration Is playback going to be power efficient? Am I basically going to drain the device battery? It is true if more than 50 percent of frame have been decoded by the hardware for this media configuration Now warning, this is not some kind of magic API that will tell you what to play You are in control and have to make decision about which media configuration to play eventually based on the result of this API Speaking of results, YouTube experimented with the media capabilities API to prevent their adaptive between algorithms from selecting resolution That a device could not playback smoothly For users who were part of the experimental group, the meantime between web affairs, also known as MTBR Increased by 7.1 percent increased by 7.1% while the average resolution served to the aggregate group measured by video height only declined by 0.5%. These results, as obscure as maybe to some of you, basically show that some users on no end devices saw less frequently on YouTube the frustrating buffering animation. So just for that, thank you.

Nghymru, mae'n ystod i ddim yn gyf Gebol yn gwirio i'r lleoliadau ym Llyfr. Felly, I'm going to talk mainly about the Conservatives approach to Europe. We meet on a day after shock by election results in Britain. I don't know how many of you followed that overnight, but these results demonstrate both in a previously conservative held seat in Clacton and in a Labour held seat in Haywood and Middleton in Lancashire. fuddwch, ond gydag o'r ein gynhwys sydd ein gynhwysau ffugor, y cyhoeddaint y unig o ran ymdweud, yr unrhyw hwn yn ei gynnig bwyllhau i gydag i gynhwysau ffugor, a dweud bod phobol yn fawr ar y ffugor, y gynhwys, mae'n ddweud yn amlwg, ond roedd yn ei gofynau. UQIP's success tells you very little, in my view, about the position on Europe in Britain. It also tells you very little about what is likely to happen at the next general election. I am assuming for the purposes of this talk that David Cameron will remain Prime Minister y Prif Weiniddo sydd wedyn ysgolion ymarfer, ac mae'r Prif Weiniddo yn ei gobeithio i'r ffordd mwy o'ch ddelwyd i ysgolion ac yna'r Prif Weiniddo. Rydym wedyn'i chyfreunio'r cyfan am ein pethau i fynd ar gyfrifbu yllteid öfyrdd o'r Prif Weiniddo yn yn yw eu rhwng ddechrau'i leoliadau y rhaid i'r rei'r reisio bwysig, fel y rhaid i'r referendum arbennig, yn 2017. Yr hyn, rydyn ni'n gwybod i'n gweithio i chi, ymddangos i'r bwysig y prospectau yma, i'r pleddau hynny'n gwneud hynny. Yn y bwysig, i'r prospectau ar gyfer y reisio bwysig, i'r referendum ar gyfer y rhaid i'r Europe could be one in Britain so that's basically what I'm going to talk about. On the political background, David Cameron never wanted to be in this position as I'm sure many of you are aware. When he was elected leader of the Conservative Party in 2005, he urged the Conservative Party to stop banging on about Europe because he felt that this was not an issue in which the public were really interested in this. Polling evidence all suggests that to be the case. Not an issue which gave the Conservative Party the kind of modern centrist image that he felt was essential for them to win a general election. So he never wanted this. What brought it about was the Conservative Party's reaction to the Euro crisis. When the Euro crisis broke, a lot of Conservatives who peed, they'd been proved right about the Euro. It was an absolute disaster and the sooner the whole thing broke up, the better. That was the attitude. I could see it in the House of Lords, the Conservatives opposite, I could see it in the Commons. That was their basic instinct that the sooner the whole thing collapsed, the better we'd all be. Now, George Osborne, to his great credit as Chancellor of the Exchequer, recognised that this would be a national disaster for Britain as much as for Europe. That the break up of the Euro, that Britain hadn't escaped, as it were, the problems of the Euro by not being a member of it. And that the break up of the Euro would be a very, very difficult background to the huge fiscal consolidation he was having to undertake for domestic UK purposes to get our economy right. And so he said to the Conservative Party, and it was very clever, understandably at the time, he said, look, we can't afford the Euro to fail. It's essential to us that they rescue the Euro. But the only way that the Euro can be rescued is if there is much more integration in the Eurozone, of which Britain can never be part. And therefore there is going to be in future a two tier European Union with a much more tightly, the inescapable logic, I can't remember his phrase now, of integration in the Eurozone, there is going to be inevitably a two tier Union, and this provides us, the British, with the opportunity you Conservatives have all been waiting for all these years to go in there and say yes, we want to stay part of a trading arrangement, we want to stay, we want to cooperate with you where we agree with you, and only where we agree with you. But this is an opportunity for a fundamental renegotiation of Britain's position in the European Union necessitated by the integration that would be forced by the Euro crisis. This was, of course, in terms of British foreign policy, a very significant statement. It's the first time since the Second World War, first time possibly ever, that the British government had said that it was not prepared, that it was prepared to accept that it would not be a leading member of Europe, that it was prepared to be a second class citizen on the sidelines. So it was a very significant statement, but that was the statement that was made and that was the logic of this renegotiation argument. Now, it then emerged, of course, that the Euro was going to be rescued without the fundamental treaty change, or at least without the fundamental treaty change in the short term that George Osborne had envisaged would be necessary. But the Conservatives stuck themselves with this renegotiation commitment. So, in his Bloomberg speech, the Prime Minister switched the emphasis from, he still went on a bit about the inevitability of closer Eurozone integration and the need for some protections against discrimination by Euro-ins or against Euro-outs, he mentioned that, but he shifted the emphasis to a more broadly-based reform agenda, and that was the speech that he made at Bloomberg in January 2013, which after he'd resisted for about a year the pressure from his backbenchers to commit to a referendum, he actually came out and said, there, we'll have this renegotiation, and I pledge that by the end of 2017 we'll have an in-out referendum. But implicit in this reform agenda, which he was pitching, was quite a lot of high-level ideas that a lot of people would have some sympathy with, like a greater role for national parliaments in the design of the union, the idea that powers can flow back to the member states as well as to the centre of flexibility of approach, the idea that we could do far more to promote the single market, the idea that we could, in Europe, that we could do far more to promote the single market, there was an agenda of economic reform that had to be achieved in order to do that, the idea that we could avoid unnecessary intrusive regulation. I thought the pitch of this speech was quite skillful, and it won support in a lot of northern Europe. I found, as I went round, that quite a lot of northern Europe were quite sympathetic to what Cameron had to say. They weren't sympathetic to his concept of a renegotiation and a referendum, but they were sympathetic to the kind of objectives that he was setting for change in the European Union. But since Cameron made his Bloomberg speech in January last year, he thought that by making the speech, this would kill the Europe issue between now and the 2015 general election. That was a gross miscalculation that was. The principal reason it was a gross miscalculation was because of the strength of UKIP. Now, UKIP actually doesn't win votes primarily on its anti-European position. It is, of course, wholly committed to British withdrawal from the European Union, and people do see some linkage between the European Union and the immigration issue, which is one of their main public discontent. But it is much more about a general mood of dissatisfaction with the political class of all kinds, and it's much more about an alienation of a specific section of the electorate in particular, less well educated, older, white working class men for whom globalisation hasn't worked, really. It's who see themselves as having a declining and more insecure position in society. And there is a very, very sharp demographic about the UKIP support. Most of our political parties draw fairly evenly across the social range nowadays. Demographics are not a very good predictor of who supports Labour and who supports Conservative. A lot of AB voters, people who have been to university, now support the Labour Party. But in terms of UKIP, the social demographic is very clear and very, very specific, and it's this group. But Conservative MPs interpret the threat of UKIP to their position in Parliament, and they interpret it. They think that the way they deal with this threat is by toughening up their rhetoric on Europe. And that is what Cameron has done. So in the last month, we have had a considerable toughening up of the rhetoric and a more and a clearer pledge that he will do something about migration. So we're on a slide here. What started off as something to deal with the inexorable logic of the Euro crisis is now becoming something which is about responding to massive populist discontent about immigration and trying to contain what is believed to be UKIP erosion of the Conservative Party position. How much further this will go and what will be said in the Conservative election manifesto, obviously you'll have to ask them, but I fear the worst. Next point then. If assuming that Cameron has gets his renegotiation and is there to implement it, what are the prospects? Well, I think in some respects, the prospects are quite good. For instance, a lot of his Bloomberg speech was about the need for economic reform. Well, there is actually a lot of economic reform going on in Europe. There are ambitious plans for extending the single market in the Junker programme that has been agreed by the European Council. There is actually big economic reform taking place in the member states. The Italian Senate yesterday voted through a pathbreaking labour market reform in Italy, which no one else has succeeded in doing. This demonstrates that Renzi should not be underestimated as an aside. He is, I think, a remarkable phenomenon. So, there is economic reform taking place. There is also acceptance, I think, that there is an issue about European regulation. Franz Timmermans, who is the deputy to Junker, is obsessed, is perhaps a strong word, but he is certainly very concerned about how we introduce more proportionality and subsidiarity into the way that Europe operates. And I think that everyone would like to see a stronger role for national parliament. So, in that respect, I think he could make quite a lot of progress on his reform agenda. But there are really difficult subjects, and there are three, I think. First, there is a question of migration. What does Cameron actually want on migration? Secondly, there is this pledge that the Conservatives have made which takes Britain pretty close to the exit of the European Convention on Human Rights, which is linked to our EU membership. And thirdly, there is the question of what treaty changes might be possible because Cameron has not ruled out treaty changes. On migration, it is clear that some of the British concerns about migration are shared in other countries. I don't know what the position is in Ireland, but certainly in Germany there is major concern about the so-called issue of benefit tourism. And benefits being claimed by Polish workers for their families that are back in Poland. That is certainly, and I think that it is possible that that might be addressed. I don't personally find this discourse a very pleasant one, but I think that probably something will be done about it. I think there's also clarification that the freedom of movement rights actually apply to people who seek work, not to people who don't seek work, and therefore if they're not seeking work, they have no right to stay in your country. Now that is something I think that Cameron will be pressing for quite hard whether this is compatible with the treaties or not. I don't know, but I think it is an issue in contention. But in his conference speech, Cameron implied that he would do something about controlling numbers. Now it is possible to control numbers in the case of new member states, not that there are going to be any new member states in the next five years, but it is possible that you could have tougher transitional controls, that you could argue that as part of those transitional controls the right of free movement wouldn't come into effect until they got to two thirds of the GDP of the EU average or something like that. So you could insert those kind of provisions in new treaties of enlargement, but you can't insert those kind of provisions into the existing rights of members of the European Union. And I just don't know what the Prime Minister envisages on this score. It may be that he doesn't envisage very much, it may be that he hasn't understood the issue, but I think that it is quite a serious commitment, an error that he has made. Secondly, on the European Convention on Human Rights, this is a highly technical legal subject, but the idea that Britain could withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, which of course Britain was one of the leading founder member states in the late 1940s, the idea that we could withdraw from this and that people in the EU would say, oh that's fine, I think it would raise lots of difficulties about the fact that the EU is committed to the convention principles in its own right. And then there's the question of treaty change. Now, there is one treaty change which I think is perfectly doable, which is doable without generating referenda in other countries, possibly in Ireland, but certainly not anywhere else. I think you could do a treaty change which strengthened the principle of non-discrimination by Euro-ins against Euro-outs in relation to the single market. I think that probably could be done, and I know there have been discussions with the Germans about this. But the other things that Cameron probably wants are more tricky. The Conservative Party would love some kind of opt out from social legislation, in other words, a return to the opt out of the social charter. I think it would be extremely difficult to persuade the French president to agree to any such measure, which he would regard as Britain attaining an unfair competitive advantage over France. So I think that that is extremely difficult. And then there is Cameron's specific demand for an opt out from the ever closer union preamble of the treaty. Now, I think that I am sceptical about whether this is any legal value or substance of any kind one way or the other. But I can see that people in the EU might get very upset about it, and he has made this one of his bottom line points that he wants to achieve. I'd be interested in others' views. My impression of our partners is that Germany is very keen to keep Britain in the EU. I actually think France is very keen to keep Britain in the EU as well because of security reasons. The new commission is obviously very keen to keep Britain in the EU, but I think there is a certain amount of indifference among other members who are just fed up with the British, frankly. And I think that it will be interesting to see how much of a response from other member states the British demands get if they are put after May 2015. Then there's my final point about the referendum itself. Could a referendum be one, assuming that Cameron can negotiate a set of terms which he's prepared to put and recommend to the British people? I think that on this, the British public opinion is not the fundamental problem. It's not the fundamental problem. If you look at British public opinion, 15-20% generally are in favour of the European Union. 35-40% are extremely hostile and would vote to withdraw. So you have a third, at least, of the voters who would vote to withdraw in any circumstances. A lot of those, of course, would be people who vote for UKIP in elections. But there is definitely a substantial number who will against staying in. But the other 40% is sceptic about Europe, not enthusiastic about Europe, but open to persuasion. And polling that has been done suggests that if the Prime Minister, supported by the Labour leader and the Liberal Democrat leader, recommended a set of terms that they might well be able to win a referendum. Peter Kellner of YouGov has written a paper about demonstrating that this is, in his view, perfectly possible. So the public opinion, the key section of public opinion, is sceptic but malleable, is how I would put it, sceptic but persuadable. The real problem about this political problem about this whole exercise is the Conservative party. It's a very Conservative party problem. There are a lot of Conservative MPs who say, yes, I would like Britain to stay in the European Union if we have a successful renegotiation. My problem with them is that their terms, what they mean by a successful renegotiation, are wholly unachievable. Because what they mean by a successful renegotiation is turning the EU into an arrangement where British membership is essentially about free trade and there is political cooperation between the member states, of course operating on the unanimity principle. I don't think that model of trade and cooperation is an acceptable within the EU framework. I can't see any of our partners agreeing to a British membership on that basis. It's also the case that most Conservatives fail to understand that the single market is much more complex than a straightforward free trade area. It's in fact a whole body of regulation which requires an independent supranational commission and court to supervise it and make it work. And yet they find that supranationalism extremely difficult to cope with. So there are fundamental problems in attitudes about what is achievable. I also think that it will not be possible for David Cameron to meet the expectations that he has himself generated on the question of migration. I just do not think that the outcome of the negotiation will be that we can prevent polls coming to work in Britain. But that is what a lot of voters and Conservative party members will think that he's talking about. So the question is given that the renegotiation won't satisfy quite a lot of Conservatives and given that there is a section of the Conservative party that wants to pull Britain out of the European Union in any circumstances and given that the UKIP idea, the UKIP threat is not likely to be a flash in the pan but something that continues after the next election Would David Cameron actually be prepared to put to the British people a set of terms of renegotiation that would in all likelihood split his own party? Now Harold Wilson got away with that in 1975. He got in the way with an agreement to differ within the Labour party. Is it doable within the Conservative party? I think that there is a fundamental tension in the Conservative party between on the one hand the interests of the wealth creators, how they would self describe themselves as it were, the wealth creators who recognise the necessity of Britain remaining part of Europe and its single market in the vast majority of cases. Something like 70%, 8% of city opinion for instance takes that view. The CBI reckons that three quarters of British business takes that view. So there obviously are dissenters but the vast majority of the wealth creating class which has been traditionally the Conservative constituency in the country wants Britain for its recognises that Britain has to stay and the tension therefore between the wealth creators on the one hand and the populists on the other who want to pursue a kind of English nationalist agenda which has control of immigration as its number one priority. David Cameron is a sort of traditional Conservative of a very pragmatic frame of mind in my opinion. I personally believe he would like Britain to stay a member of the European Union. I don't doubt his commitment to that. But he is also a person who I think comes from a tradition anyway but it's put it like this. Comes from a tradition that believes that the best interests of the country are served by keeping the Conservative party in power and keeping the Conservative party in power means keeping it united. So this question of whether on Europe he is prepared to risk what I think would be a very damaging split and possibly a major realignment of British politics if UKIP remains a significant factor after the next election which I think it will. I think these are deeply problematic political questions which is why I am pessimistic about the prospects of this renegotiation and referendum if the Conservatives win the next general election and why from as a pro-European I ffervently hope that next year Edmilliband will become Prime Minister. Thank you. Thank you.


Hey survivors and frivers, in this video I'm going to be talking about narcissistic triangulation. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.

If you are interested in a one-on-one coaching, you can email me at narcisfivecoaching.com. Narcissistic triangulation is the act of bringing another person into the dynamic of a relationship or interaction. This can happen during the relationship or following the discard. This is designed to make you feel as though you are worthless or beneath the narcissist consideration. It is designed to make you compete for the narcissist's attention. Narciss will create a real or imagined relationship triangle to create the idea that they have more value. They want to make you believe that they are in high demand. It will affect you emotionally and cause you and the other person to compete for their attention and become jealous or envious because of them. This is exactly what the narcissist wants and they know the effect that this is having on you. They know that you put in all of your time and effort to make them happy and they know the effect that it will have on you when they pretend like it's nothing and they can just move on and have a good time with someone else. They want to make you feel insecure or it's though you are not good enough for them and so you can't do anything right even though you are probably more than good enough and they know that but if they can get you to believe it, it gives them supply. They will try to get you to believe that this new person is doing everything for them, things that you would never do or were not capable of doing. It creates this false competition where you feel like you're not enough and you need to be doing better when in reality, this new person isn't doing anything but if they can get you to believe it, they know that it will affect you. They know that you will continue on this narrative that they have fed to you, believing that it's the truth. Then you might discover months or even years down the line that none of this even happened. It was just used at the time by the narcissist to emotionally affect you. They live in this fantasy world where they will pick and choose whatever they believe can give them the upper hand or make them look good. Even if it's not the case in reality, they will usually post pictures on social media as they will be expecting you to be watching. They know that you're still trying to figure out what's going on or what happened to them. Why did they change so suddenly? As long as they think you're watching, they will continue to post pictures of them with this new person. It's usually someone they found very recently as a desperate choice to hurt you, but they will make it look like they're having a good time. They know how to orchestrate the elements of a situation to produce a desired effect or desired reaction from you. It's going to look like the narcissist is completely in love with this person, worshipping them. But if you remember at the beginning of your relationship with the narcissist, they saw you in the exact same way. They idealized you in the beginning. They loved bombing you. But that soon turns into devaluation and then the discard. It's the same thing every time. This new person is just another object. Just to carry out a task or function will provide a service. Most often the narcissist is just looking for some attention and admiration.  They act as though you are worthless or beneath their consideration. But they clearly care a lot about your opinion if they are taking their time to post these pictures. Everything they post on social media is intended for you. It is designed to affect you. Narcists prefer to communicate indirectly.  They have to bring in all of these fantasy scenarios and allusions and have the ability to create their own show through pictures or videos to affect you emotionally. Their communication doesn't give the same effect.  Because it makes you react emotionally rather than with logical reasoning. They desire attention and admiration and they are able to control, dominate and manipulate you and this third person. It boosts their self-worth and self-esteem. Make some feel as though they are something of value or significance. Because of this, they will do whatever they can to prolong and protect the situation for as long as possible. What's an artist has experienced the feeling of being greatly desired or envied? They will try to create the same situation again and again. As a way of prolonging and protecting the situation, they will prevent any communication between you and the third person.   Most often they like to call the victim crazy or they will act as though you are harassing them. They are only thinking about themselves, they are self-absorbed. So they will use this to gain sympathy. If you remember at the beginning of the relationship, the Nazis probably used this tactic to gain sympathy from you. They probably talked about a previous relationship or their parents or friends. Remember this for the future. When a person is triangulating you with someone at the beginning of the relationship, this often suggests what it will be like at the end of your relationship with them. Soon they will be talking about you in that way. Nazis like to play the victim so they can obtain sympathy from people. This is something they have learned from their childhood. Maybe they would argue with their parent or do something they didn't like. And then they went to the other parent to obtain sympathy. Then when they did something to make that parent angry, they went back to their other parent to obtain sympathy. This is where they learn to go back and forth. Obtain sympathy without facing any consequences. You will notice that they repeat the same behaviour as even as adults. If they do something to hurt or anger you, rather than open it up to what they have done or taking responsibility, they will play the victim and triangulate you with someone else. This gives them the ability to obtain sympathy without facing any consequences.  Maybe they should be trying to earn your attention after what they have done to hurt or anger you. But Nazis don't want to take responsibility for what they have done. They are shame based individuals doing everything they can to avoid reflected on their shame. And because they are so childish and immature, they don't want to acknowledge what they have done wrong. They don't want you to confront them. They don't want to deal with serious issues. It's hard work for them. It hurts their brains and makes them feel like they are not good enough. They don't want to deal with that. It's much easier for them to live in their fantasy world and act as though they are perfect and something is wrong with you. Then they can find someone else who doesn't know what they are really about and use them to obtain sympathy as well as attention and admiration. Another reason why they will triangulate is because they know they can't win by dealing with you directly. They want to bring in a third person to share the task of defeating you. Because they don't believe they are strong enough to do it on their own. This third person could be someone you don't know or it could be a family member or friend. In this case of it being a family member or friend it will be an attempt to gain control over your relationship with this person. They might tell them lies or paint a negative picture of you to make this person see you in a different way. When the narcissist is triangulating you with people you already know this can be designed to isolate you or to make you feel as though you have no one on your side. It makes them feel powerful and in control and if you are dealing with a really bitter, jealous person the triangulation could turn into a smear campaign. For more information on smear campaigns check out my playlist of videos on the fly monkeys and the smear campaign. If the third person who is a family member or friend takes the narcissist side without talking to you or hearing your side of the story this third person is likely to be narcissistic. They are easily persuaded and jump to conclusions. They lack empathy so they are not going to take the time to understand your side of the story. Narcissists seem to bond together with other like-minded people who always assume the worst about people without ever hearing your side of the story. Sometimes you'll be triangulated with a person who doesn't give any response. These types of people are enablers. They enable their views to take place. They don't care about what is said or done. They are not going to defend anyone. If anyone gets hurt they see it as though it's not their problem. Enablers do not have the strength of character to solve a problem or to even figure out what went wrong. Crangulation is one of the narcissist's favourite tactics. It is designed to make you feel as though you are worthless or beneath the narcissist's consideration. It is designed to make you think that they are in high demand and you have to compete for their attention. It is designed to emotionally affect you and make you jealous or envious. During this time it is natural to experience cognitive dissonance where you have two conflicting beliefs. You may believe that what you are seeing is true but then you will also believe that this is not the person you met. The person you met would never do something like that. This is because of perception management they did on you at the beginning of the relationship. They made you believe there were one thing when there was something completely different. They tricked your senses which caused you to enter this alternate reality where they just tell you what you want to hear or show you what you want to see then when you finally see their true character and personality you are removed from that reality. But you don't want to believe it. You don't want to believe that this is who they really are. You want to go back to the fantasy. The problem is the fantasy never existed. The person you met at the beginning of the relationship never existed. They just told you what you wanted to hear or showed you what you wanted to see and as long as you entertain the conflicting belief that this person maybe could come back you are giving them the ability to control you and affect you emotionally. That person never existed. It was a false image and an orchestration. They do have the ability to bring it back and return to the love-bombing phase but this is only if they need something from you. Narses are self-absorbed and lack empathy. They only care about themselves. They only care about their own needs. So if they believe that you have something to offer them of course they are going to come back and give you more of the fantasy but it's not real, it never was. And just as you saw before the abusive manipulation will return. They make you believe that they have something valuable or significant to give to you. But the reality is they are only looking to use you. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonates with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.

In this presentation, we're going to make loan payments from our amortization table breaking out the interest and principal portion with regards to those loan payments with the use of the amortization table as we go. Get ready because we're about to start with Sage 50, Cloud Accounting. Here we are in our GitGrate Guitars file. We're going to start off by opening up our financial statements. We're going to go to the reports dropdown. We're going to go on down to the financial statements. We're going to be taking a look at the balance sheet report. Let's open up that balance sheet. We're going to be in February. So I'm going to keep this in February. So I'm going to say OK. So there we have that. We're scrolling down. We have this $72,000 loan. We're going to make loan payments now on the $72,000 loan. We're going to do that with the amortization table we made last time. So we had an amortization table last time. Here's the loan payments. I'm going to make two payments on it, one at the beginning of the month, one at the end of the month, so we can put them both in our month we're working on and be able to record those two and we'll be able to see the change in the difference. The fact being that we have the payment will be the same, but the amount breaking out between interest and principal will change. Between these two, you can see these two change, but the payment amount will remain the same. Now remember when you actually take out the loan, you're typically going to know of course the loan balance you have and you'll typically know the payment amount. What you won't know is the interest oftentimes between each payment because to keep the payment the same, we had to change the loan terms, had to basically change the interest and principal portion of that interest payment each time. So that's going to be a problem. You could have basically an accountant or an adjusting department make the amortization table and simply tell them, hey, look, I'm only going to record the payment to one account to the loan account, which means I'm going to over-reduce the loan account. And I would like you to make the amortization table, break out the interest and principal portion. In other words, tie out the interest and the loan balance to this table after you make it and then break out the short-term and long-term portion of the loan if necessary on a periodic basis. That could all be part of your adjusting entry if you so choose by doing that. Then you can make the payment repetitive, meaning it's only going to have two accounts involved, just decreasing cash and decreasing the loan account. And then you can do a periodic adjusting entry to make those adjustments needed, breaking out the interest portion and recording the short-term and long-term portion. Or you can ask the accountant or do yourself, make the amortization such as this, then break out the interest and principal portion as you go. That way we can tie out to the loan balance each time, which will be this loan balance at the end. To do that, I would recommend having a separate GL account for each loan, not breaking out the short-term and long-term portion as you make the payments, but put them into one GL account so that you could tie that GL account into your loan balance here on the amortization table. And then in the adjusting process at the end of the month, all that needs to be done is really to consolidate the loans into basically one short-term and long-term account and break out the short-term and long-term portion. Okay, so let's do this. We're going to do the first one. I'm going to make this green so we can make this payment. We're going to be breaking out here. We're going to record the full thing, which means we're going to have both the interest and principal portion. So I'm going to make it green because that's like the one we're working on. And I'll make it really a bit larger here so we can see it better too. And then let's go back to our data.  So I'll go on the vendor side of things. I'm just going to write a check. And this is going to be a check form. It could be an electronic transfer, so it doesn't necessarily need to be a check, but we're using the check document, the check form. So the vendor I'm going to say is Chase. Do we have Chase? I don't think we have Chase. So I'm going to add the vendor for Chase. That's going to be basically the bank. I'm going to say it's going to be Chase that we're going to be paying. And so I'll say new to set up that vendor for Chase. So there we have it. I'm going to put Chase here and then I'll copy that. And then I'll also put that here. And now the normal account would be the loan balance going down. The loan balance would be the normal account. That's going to be a liability type of account over here. So we've got the loan. I think it's this one. Yeah, that's the 2,500 account or the 5,795. That's the one I chose. Now we're going to need two accounts, an interest and principal portion. If you were just going to use the method of decrease the loan account, that would be the only account you need. And then you tell the accounting department to make the adjustment for breaking out interest periodically at the end of the period. So then I'm going to save that and close it. And then I'm going to put in the vendor. I'm going to put this is going to be Chase now, which we should have CH. There we have it. Alright, tabbing through this tab, tab, tab. We're going to put a number. And then I'm going to put this on 020120. The amount that we're going to pay, I'm going to break out the amount that we're going to pay, which is going to be the $13.59. That's a round date. I'm just going to keep it at $13.59. So I'm going to say $13.59 is the amount of payment. And we'll take, we'll call it cash or we could say check. If it's electronic payment, I'll keep it there. And I'll say, you know, maybe this is E12. And then down here, we can't just keep it at the 25 because we need to break out the interest in principal portion. So here's the kind of confusing thing. We got to use this split button. Say I need two accounts that will be affected. You could bring this, you know, over here so you could see the other accounts you're working with. The amount of the principal that's going to be going down is going to be that $10.59. The principal needs to go down by the $10.59. And then the interest is going to be the $300. So principal, I'm going to say $10.59. And then we need, I lost the amount, $10.59. And then we'll try this again. On the interest, it's going to calculate for us over there. We just need to pick the account, see if they gave us an interest expense account. It's going to be an expense type of account down below. So we're looking for something like interest expense. So there's insurance. I don't see interest. So let's go ahead and set it up. So I'm going to make a new account. So we're going to make a new account as we go here. So we'll add the account. I'm going to check the account numbers. So let's check the account numbers that are there. It needs to be somewhere down here in the expense area. So it's somewhere down here. Let's put it under the depreciation. So that's going to be $70.55. Let's say $70.55. So $70.55. And this is going to be an interest expense. And it's going to be an expense type of account. So we'll select the drop down here. We're looking for an expense type of account. So that's the one that's all we need. Let's go ahead and then say save. So that's good and close. And then this one needs to be going to that new interest expense account that we just picked up. There it is. $70.55. And that looks good. So there's the $300. So there it is. The full amount, $13.59. Broken out between the loan. Decreasing the loan by $1059. And recording the interest expense. What's going to happen after we record this, the loan balance then should go down to this amount, the $70,941. Let's see that. And we're going to go ahead and say OK. And then save this. So I'll save this. Then let's take a look at what happened. We're going to go open up that balance sheet again. Let's open up that balance sheet. And then we have in the checking account went down, double-clicking the checking account. It's going down by that $13.59. Closing this back out. The other side should go to the loan balance here. So the loan balance at $70,941. Is that what we have here? $70,941. Correct. So it went down correctly. If we double-click on that, then we'll see our payment, which is going to be the $1059 applied to it. Closing this back out. The other component is going to be on the income statement. So if we go back on over to our reports, open up the income statement and take a look at it. It's going to be for February. We want to show I don't need the zero numbers. I'm going to say OK. Income statement. There's our interest income of the 300. All right. So there is that. Let's do it again now. I'm going to say a month has passed. It's still February, but it's the end of the month. So we're going to record the second one at the end of the month just so we can see the same payment amount but broken out differently between the interest and the principal. So I'm going to say this one is done now. I'm going to ungreen it. So I'm going to right-click on it and get the green away, ungreen it, and then I'm going to go into the number two and we're going to apply the green there so that I don't get messed up on what I'm posting here. I could still get messed up, but that helps. So then I'm going to go back on over and we're going to write another check. Let's write another check, a new check. And this is also, of course, going to be to Chase. So Chase, and there we have that. I'm going to say this is as of the end of the month on the 29th, let's say. The cash is going to be leaving the account and the cash is going to be for that same amount, the 1359, that amount stays the same. And that's the 1359. And remember, we're at the end of the month so we're imagining the whole month has passed and we're making the second payment. So it's going to be cash, I'll say E-13. And then we're going to use our split item here again. So we're going to say the split.  But the amount that it needs to go down by is going to be now the 1063. So the 1063 here. So we'll take that. This is a 1063. And then the other account is going to be interest. So let's pick up the interest. That's going to be an expense account. So there's the interest expense. And now it's at the 296. And that's going to be this 296 there. So let's record that. That should leave us with a loan balance of the 69878, about, it's rounded. So I'm going to say okay. And let's take a look at this. Let's check this out. Let's save this transaction. Let's close this report or this form. Let's then go over to the balance sheet and we will update this. So I'm going to refresh it in case it hasn't been refreshed already. Open up the checking account. That was a wrong account. Open up the checking account. And then we're going to see there's the second payment. Notice it's the same payment amount here that's leaving. It's the breakout between interest and principal. That's going to be different. And then we're going to go down to the loan balance. That's the 69878. Does that tie out to what we should have here? 69878, it does. Then if we double click on that, double clicking on that item, we see now there's the change. There's the amount that was applied to the loan balance before of the total payment. It has now changed. Total payment now was the same amount applied to the reduction of the loan now differs. Closing this back out, the other side of course being on the income statement, the P and L, the profit and loss. So if we go on over there, we see now if it refresh if you need to. And we see now the 596 double clicking on that item. We see the two payments, the 300, the 269, which of course tied out to these two payments. And that is the 596. So there we have it. Notice this loan. If you have multiple loans, I would break out each loan into its own account so you can tie it out to the amortization table. And note again, we're not breaking out the short-term and long-term portion right here because that'll complicate things and we'd have a different short-term and long-term portion each time we make a payment. It's not worth it to break that out each time. So for that, we would want to do the adjusting entries at the end of the month or the end of the year whenever we need the financial statements. So that's going to be it for now. Let's get out of here.


The paper proposes a novel approach to detecting 5-methylcytacine, 5-MC, in CPG, dinucleotides, CPGS. The authors use PAC by a circular consensus sequencing, CCS, to sequence a human sample and train a deep learning model called SMECSMETH. This model uses CCS reads to accurately identify 5-MC sites at single molecule resolution. Additionally, the authors developed a next-flow pipeline called SMETHPhase, which can detect haplotype-aware methylation using CCS reads. The authors tested their method on a Chinese family trio, and found that it was able to accurately detect 5-MC sites. This article was authored by Peng Nai, Fan Nai, Ziyu Chong, and others.
